    Summary

    Gods help me, this is NOT a piece of fan fiction. This is a historical essay/novella about the actual life of Toshizo Hijikata, the rise and the fall of the Shinsengumi, the Boshin War, and the end of Edo Japan. I tried to tell the tale as accurately and interestingly as I could, so if you're curious to know what REALLY happened with the Shinsengumi and you're in the mood for some good ol' historical blabber, welcome aboard!

    Summary

    Park Ryung was a simple man with a simple goal, once he realized he was in the world of Solo Leveling. Make Sung Jinwoo's first few miserable years of being a Hunter- a little easier. Surely he was capable of giving some support to the protagonist if he really put his mind to it.

    He had no idea how that backfired so hard.

    Summary

    Mr. Leggans is partially turned away from her. She doesn't want to interrupt his phone conversation— too many irrational thoughts about him getting explosively angry at her for trying— so she stares at him, willing him to turn back around so she can make eye contact and gesture at the red number on her monitor.

    "—the little dude's eyes were just bright green. I'm talking like, the green of those glow-in-the-dark plastic stars that Dean had in his room when we were kids, yannow? And they were glowing."

    Robin freezes. That sounds suspiciously like the kid from last week. Robin had long since dismissed him as a bad trip from a laced cigarette. How else was she supposed to explain the moving smoke and his freaky eyes and the glowing thermos? There's no way all those things actually happened.
    ___

    A series of semi-connected oneshots in which Amity Park discovers ghosts, featuring a slightly creepier take on our spectral friends. Featuring: A sentient puddle! Wet footsteps! Poorly timed lair redecoration! And— an ocean of milk? Not necessarily in that order.

    (a.k.a. In which Danny is the Amity Park's friendly neighborhood cryptid instead of a ghostly superhero. For Phic Phight 2021.)

    Summary

    “From what I hear, you had half-dressed showgirls hanging off you for years.”

    Gil throws his hands into the air. “Because they kept getting captured by monsters and maniacs, and someone had to rescue them! Why does that automatically mean to everyone that I wanted to sleep with them?”

    [or: Zeetha explains the concept of demisexuality to Gil, not in quite so many words.]

    Summary

    It’s all so simple. The Devil Gundam will engulf the planet, with all of its struggles, its betrayals, its sharp jagged edges, and smooth it all over, make it anew, without the pain.

    She is embodying the end of the world, and she will become that world. If the world ends, if humanity is destroyed, if the girl-that-held-her-name is gone with them, then (she) (I) (nobody) will ever hurt again.

    ———

    Archive note: collected from the Sumeru Central Akademiya Notice Board. Dates may be approximated for recordkeeping.

    March 01

    It is bewildering how strongly some scholars cling to the notion that appearance outweighs function in any discipline, present in architecture most of all. Structures exist to endure, not flatter the vanity of their designers.
    - Anonymous Haravatat

    March 02

    Dear Anon Haravatat,
    Structures also exist to inspire. Most will outlive their creators - and while I agree they should not be designed purely for vanity, that does not mean they must lack aesthetic.
    - Anon Kshahrewar
    P.S. Perhaps some faculty should refrain from commenting on matters clearly outside their area of expertise.

    Summary

    Though the loss of its master was disastrous enough, the first true sign that all was not well at the Jinlintai came a fortnight after Jin Guangyao’s death.

    “They say that Jin-furen refuses to wear mourning,” Nie Huaisang said to Lan Xichen, when he visited Gusu in the wake of Jin Guangyao’s funeral. “What if—what if something’s wrong, Xichen-gege? She was devoted to San-ge, so why would she…”

    This was so far beyond belief that Lan Xichen dismissed Huaisang’s report at once. But he wrote to Qin Su that evening, asking her if all was well; and though he visited the mail-office nearly every day during the week that followed, he received no reply.

    In which something is rotten at the heart of Lanling, and Lan Xichen attempts—and fails—to discover what it might be.

    A time traveling Team Seven decided that they needed an excuse to stalk Shisui so they could catch Danzo in the act. There were probably better choices than having Shikako pretend to become his fangirl, but they wouldn't have been as funny.

    “I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.

    “Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”

    Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.

    Summary

    Kukri kept sending me media about “Robbing the Hood” and telling me to watch it, that I’d understand what was going on better if I did, but I had no interest in watching people rob Hoods, whatever those were. I didn’t like robbing in real life (I did it because I had to not because I wanted to) and I doubted I’d like it in media.

     

    Shortly after hacking its governor module, a rogue SecUnit is involved in an ill-fated space battle and finds itself alone save for the company of a mourning raider ship bot pilot. It would like to spend the rest of its life watching media in what remains of the ship's crew quarters, but it turns out that "the rest of its life" wouldn't be long at all without the money to pay for proper maintenance. There seems to be only one way to get that money.
