Summary
‘It is no good asking me,’ Laurence said at last, pushing the pattern-book away over breakfast, ‘I am not the one–’
Not the one who would be living with the result, he had been about to say. But they had hardly accepted Tharkay’s invitation as casual houseguests.- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
Granby gestured grandly at the comfortably appointed sitting room and by extension the estate around it. ‘I’m very glad to see you as well settled as you deserve, Will.’
‘It is all Tharkay’s doing,’ Laurence said. The man himself was absent at the Selkirk Sheriff Court, where a tenant of his was to be tried for poaching; for all his claims of tyranny, he took a great concern in their welfare and any encroachments the law might make upon it. It gave Laurence some discomfort to be entertaining in his absence, even while he knew that it would never be resented, and he was all the more unwilling to appear ungrateful. ‘It has been very kind if him to allow us to make ourselves so at home.’
Granby polished off his glass and sat back, tugging off his cravat, flushed and languid with the drink. His coat had been discarded long ago: they were too much old friends to stand on ceremony, a fact startlingly confirmed by Granby’s next words. ‘Well, I see you have put old Tenzing out of his misery at last, though I’d long ceased to expect it. If you don’t mind me saying, Will, I have never seen a man pine so faithfully for such an oblivious object.’
‘Whatever do you mean,’ said Laurence blankly, after a moment.
‘There is no need to cavil with me, you know all my secrets,’ Granby said, and then he scrambled to sit up, as though just realising his error. ‘But I thought, with you living here so happily together…’
‘Tenzing is my particular friend,’ Laurence said, a little stiff, ‘as you are. I have no notion of the sentiments you seem to ascribe. Surely you must be mistaken.’
But the idea had too much substance to be so easily dismissed. Of course, a man like that would never betray himself into any overt admission, but all his actions over the years argued for a devotion that surely stretched the bounds of friendship. I have only loved twice in my life, he had said, though Laurence only knew of one youthful attachment, to Sara Maden in Istanbul. That he might be the other scarcely bore contemplating…and yet who better than Granby to see it, who was intimate with them both and experienced in such affairs?

Powers and Profits: Neo-Imperialism Under the Paraliberal Stage of Capitalism, 1987-2011 by Partizanka
Fandoms: Parahumans Series - Wildbow
23 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
Noted historian and author Xiuying Liu (Elite Power: the White-Collar Paracriminal Lobby, The Yàngbǎn in Việt Nam, 1994-2009) takes an incisive and fearless look at the American military-heroic-industrial complex, and the ways in which emerging parahumanity became entangled with ongoing transformations in capitalism during the tumultuous decade that saw the birth and death of the first parahuman 'heroes.' Charting the development of 'Endbringer diplomacy,' Liu demonstrates unambiguously the ways by which the politics of eternal crisis became the foundation of post-Soviet American hegemony, and how the Protectorate-PRT became the sword and shield of the US State Department. A must-read for anybody who wishes to understand how the unprecedented material forces at play in the last quarter-century have created our unique historical moment.

Summary
The unfortunate loss of almost all late 20th and early 21st century written works has forced scholars to try and reconstruct the literary history of the period using only a handful of hand-bound novels. Join us as we look at the style and themes of one of the most significant works of the period. (Consent forms for this course may be turned in at the Dean's office.)

Original Summary:
Don't ask why Batman is sad unless you're willing to give him the time to consult his spreadsheet.(Nominal by Unpretty uses screenshots of mostly text-based content to tell the story. I transcribed the screenshots and added light formatting and some image descriptions for readability and clarity, but the work is otherwise unchanged.)

Summary
“They’re lovely,” Luke said, and if the pleasure in his voice seemed genuine, his brow furrowed slightly in consternation. Din shrugged uncomfortably, because what was he supposed to do—bring a gift for the kids and nothing for their teacher?
Or, Din's been accidentally courting Luke.

Summary
There is a big difference between a trans man exploring his identity/sexuality through fanfiction, and a cis writer misrepresenting what it means to be FTM. If you're a cis writer with the best of intentions, I hope these guidelines and resources will assist you in improving your treatment of trans men.
Chapter 1: Writing Guide, FTM Anatomy.
Chapter 2: Gallery of Trans Men.
Chapter 3: FTM Media Recommendations.
Chapter 4: Racism in Trans Headcanons.This guide was originally posted on my old account, which has since been deleted due to transphobic comments, including threats of violence. I have posted it again anyway, because I take this matter very seriously. Do not repost, copy, or in any way plagiarise this guide. But please feel free to share a link to it, so that cis authors can improve the way that they depict trans men. I have tagged characters which are discussed in the guide, and are therefore relevant. If you encounter this guide while browsing those tags, that's why.

Summary
After he commits every single weapon in the hold to memory, Din finds himself cataloging more and more things about Skywalker instead, small observations that carve out a space in his mind unbidden.
---
As much as Din likes to tell himself that he’s just been taking a well-deserved break, the truth is that for the six months following their daring rescue he’s been nothing but truly and utterly lost. That is until Luke Skywalker gives him a ship and hires him to help figure out what the hell the Empire needed the Child’s blood for.
As they drift through the empty void of hyperspace, they slowly find unexpected companions in each other and realize their respective paths might not be as set as they once thought.

Summary
The hem of his shirt brushes against Zhongli’s soft pale thighs, barely covering his underwear. If Zhongli were to stretch just a little, his shirt would hike up and expose his navel, and the thought alone sends blood rushing to his head.
“Childe?” Zhongli walks over. “Are you alright?”
“Yes,” he croaks, pretending he didn’t think that Zhongli looked outrageously pretty in his clothes.
“Your face is red. Have you fallen ill?”
“No, no, no. I’m fine. I’m peachy. ” He says, like a liar.
During a storm, Childe gets seduced.

“Zhongli,” Childe began hesitantly, observing the statue and then his companion, eyes flickering back and forth between the two, “You’re the Geo Archon.”
“I was the Geo Archon. Now I am just Zhongli.”
That wasn’t the point. The point was that the shirtless, very attractive man splayed out uncaringly and carved from stone in front of him was the same man standing by his side.

Summary
Steve is incredibly, inexpressibly grateful to have Bucky back. He is. There is no amount of nightmares, of rage, of grief and alcohol-fuelled fights that can make him anything less than absolutely humbled by the wonder of having Bucky in his life again after losing him, after living without him for three excruciating years.
But.
It’s so selfish he’s a little disgusted with himself. He’s got what’s as close as dammit to a bona fide miracle — and still, every now and then, in the darkest recesses of his mind, he’s not satisfied.

a wing & a prayer by sterlingsparrow

Summary
For centuries, it’s been said that your wings reflect your person, and such beliefs are still strongly upheld despite having little basis in fact. It is said that crow features belong to the untrustworthy, or to people who will only bring sorrow; mourning doves mean one is kind, yet always unfortunate; those with sparrow are born among people of the street and rarely rise above their station.
Javert’s wings are that of a crow.
