    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

    In his recent article in Contemporary Theories of Cultivation, Lan (2019) sets out to study the correlation between instrument choice and outcomes in the liberation of spirits. While his main thesis appears sound, his decision to limit the study to the qin, dizi, xiao and pipa undermines his conclusions.

    This decision falls prey to the fallacy that tradition cannot be questioned. It ignores, too, the fact that many practising cultivators will encounter spirits that will have no exposure to such “expectations.” In a small study comparing the use of a dizi with a theremin—undoubtedly a non-traditional choice—the theremin produced optimal outcomes in liberating spirits where: time since death was less than 6 months; spirit was younger than 25 and older than 17 at time of death; or spirit motivation included aspects of revenge. The conclusions reached in Lan (2019), while providing a foundation for future study, are therefore as yet incomplete.

    Summary

    It's their third year. Who cares anymore?

    ----

    We could probably get in trouble for this, Yuki thinks briefly. It’s not quite the red light district - (he’s still not Ayame, though he may be a little bolder than he used to be) - but all the same, he’d really rather not get caught huddled in an Okinawa alley with half a joint and 40% of the student council.

    Summary

    4 times Scott tried to woo Wallace, and the 1 time he actually did!

    --

    "Hey, uh, Wallace?” Scott asks. Come on, Scott. It’s literally just Wallace, his best friend Wallace. He’s got this.

    “Yeah?” Wallace asks, not looking up from his newspaper.

    “Would you wanna go out, uh, with me?” Scott asks. There, he said it.

    “Sure, guy,” Wallace answers, neatly folding his newspaper up and setting it aside. “Where we goin’?”

    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

    Summary

    Legolas considers himself a friend to all creatures, great and small, with one notable exception: spiders. Years of battling the giant arachnids in Mirkwood has left him with a strong distaste at the thought of them and a stronger inclination to fire his bow at them.

    This somewhat surprises the other members of the Fellowship, but not nearly as surprised as Legolas is when he sees how small spiders are outside of Mirkwood.

    Or: A series of stories, told in spiders.

    Summary

    A Modern day Merlin AU set at the University of St Andrews, featuring teetotal kickboxers, secret wizards, magnificent bodyguards of various genders, irate fairies, imprisoned dragons, crumbling gothic architecture, arrogant princes, adorable engineering students, stolen gold, magical doorways, attempted assassination, drunken students, shaving foam fights, embarrassing mornings after, The Hammer Dance, duty, responsibility, friendship and true love...

    This story was inspired by the thought of Prince William of Wales (and indeed the current Max von Hapsburg) studying at the University of St Andrews; it is also, as the title suggests, at least a little inspired by the operetta 'The Student Prince'.

    Grateful thanks to Lamardeuse and DarkEmeralds for Beta and cheerleading!

    ::2019 note: This story was written BEFORE the TV show introduced the character of Gwaine. It's not that I can't spell, or that I'm perversely writing him out of character - I incorporated other characters from Arthurian legend (Kay, Gawain etc) into my story, and lacking prophetic abilities, my versions naturally don't mesh with the versions subsequently introduced into the show.::

    Summary

    While playing a game of truth or dare, Okuyasu prompts Josuke to recall the nearly-forgotten summer of '89, when Jotaro Kujo came to Morioh to hunt for a serial killer. Eager to latch onto any excuse to spend time with Okuyasu (whom he sorta-maybe-definitely has a crush on), Josuke agrees to meet up regularly so Okuyasu can pick his brain about the events of that summer. But when news begins to circulate of a recent series of murders that resemble those of the killer Josuke supposedly helped his nephew track down ten years ago, remembering what transpired in 1989 suddenly becomes a matter of life or death.

    (A fan-made part 4 prequel/sequel featuring Mother 1, forensic scrapbooking, local history, and a chorus of sarcastic ghosts.)

    Wright grimaces. “Sorry to tell you this, but as of six hours ago, I’m officially a stay-at-home dad rather than a lawyer. I might be able to recommend you someone else if-”

    “That’s why I’m here!” Apollo half-yells, and then feels the tips of his ears flush because he just shouted over Phoenix Wright. “I know we’ve never met before, Mr Wright, but I think you’re being framed, and I want to help you clear your name!”

    In which Apollo is 15, Trucy is 8, and Phoenix is very confused as to where all these children keep coming from. (Also known as the 'Apollo goes to the Enigmar trial AU')
