    Summary

    In his 2009 book on Captain America comic books, war photography, and American propaganda, Everett claims: “There is nothing to suggest that either the graphic novels issued during the war or the photographs taken during Rogers’ stay with the Howling Commandos can serve as a basis for a queer reading of Rogers and Barnes’ relationship. But even more importantly, there is nothing to suggest that such a relationship ever existed in the first place, and as such, those queer readings are not only misguided, but also libelous” (197).

    [from: Lynn E. Anderson, Captain America: Behind the Mask. Steve Rogers and the Contemporary Hero Narrative (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012), p. 242.]

    In the aftermath of Steve's return to the world of the living and the battle of New York, the academia and the Internet react.

    Summary

    Little Bella Baggins finds an unconscious dwarf one day, while looking for elves in the forest. In two weeks, she makes the strangest and loveliest friend she's ever had, only to lose him again when he takes his leave.

    He promised he would come back. For he was a king, and kings keep their promises. And his promise was something Bella never wanted to forget.

    But she left those childish fancies long ago. After all, she was a Baggins of Bag End, a proper and pragmatic lady who didn't live in impossible dreams about marrying kings or riding off on adventures. It just wasn't done.

    Too bad no one told her king that.

    (Or in which young Bella Baggins ropes a dwarf king into promising to marry her in exchange for saving his life, and a king keeps his promises no matter what)
