Summary
ISHMAEL: I do not need to imagine what you might say to me; I have sufficiently taxonomized myself, in addition to our captain, as belonging to my own original species of madman.
A brief respite between the duties of sea life. Two monologues that never quite become a dialogue.

Summary
Looking at the doctor now, he noticed the fineness of his features in spite of his age, and felt a shivering in his loins as flashes of a long-forgotten transgression passed through his mind—a frantic tugging at clothing, hair, skin under cover of night, behind a stable in Brittany, with a courtier no older than himself, whose name he never caught because he had never thought to ask for it.
1506. John Argentine, Provost of King's College, hosts his king--and the father of his former patient--in hopes of securing funds.

Two Gentlemen of the Paris Opera by strikethesun for Eccentric_Hat
Fandoms: Les Misérables - Victor Hugo

Summary
Over the course of, according to M. Gillenormand, a rather tedious opera—he has not recorded the name, but his scant description leads one to believe it was a work of Rameau’s—the young, dashing bourgeois appears to have become utterly engrossed in the appearance of a gentleman he did not recognize who was seated nearby.
A hitherto lost chapter of Les Misérables in which M. Gillenormand and M. Myriel have a memorable meeting.

Excerpt from "'The Land of our Marital Bliss': Same-Sex Marriage in Fifteenth-Century Whaling Communities?" by strikethesun for Dendroica
Fandoms: Moby Dick - Herman Melville

Summary
Perhaps most interesting to a twenty-first-century reader encountering this narrative is the rather blunt and unabashed depiction of what appears to be a homosexual, and homoromantic, relationship between the sailor Ishmael and his Pacific Islander shipmate, Queequeg.

Summary
But it was not the way the child walked that made her grip the handle of her fan until the ivory pressed against her bones through skin and flesh. It was the child’s eyes.
They were wide, and blank, and staring straight ahead, unfocused. They were the precise shape and colour of her father’s; of her own.
A story of a mistress and her slave. A story of sisterhood.
Martha Wayles Jefferson and Sally Hemings in the 1700s.

Summary
It’s funny - in a way he can’t laugh at, even barely - that as the kid who has heard Logan’s voice the least, Connor imagines his voice the most. Funny how years alive with dad versus phrases heard in Connor’s catalog are inverse. Connor can’t take a joke. Connor isn’t laughing.

The first and last project I'll ever make dedicated solely to reflecting on Connor Roy.

Summary
Rocky makes the flexible xenonite membrane to comfort Grace.
Eridians don't sound like this, the fleshy parts of us are more internal and not so… active? There's just so much to hear, with it in my arms like this. The textures of its skin, the lines where the skin folds out of habit. The burn where I touched it, really touched it.
Inspired by jadepataki's Boundary Conditions :) all dialogue from the original story! I just wanted to write Rocky's POV. I thought about how *different* Grace would sound now that Rocky can hear him through solid connection instead of through air-xenonite-air.
