sophia_solIn the years following the Sunshot Campaign, the mysterious, masked cultivator who’d defeated Wen Ruohan took on many identities: the Yiling Patriarch, leader of the Wen rebels, enemy of the Jin Sect, practitioner of wicked tricks. His true name was shrouded in mystery. He always wore a mask. He carried no sword; wore no clan colors or insignia. Clouds of resentful energy clung to him as he walked.
But there was one thing that absolutely everyone agreed on: the Yiling Patriarch could not possibly be from the Jiang Sect.
Or: a Scarlet Pimpernel/Untamed crossover featuring Wei Wuxian in disguise, Lan Wangji determined to bring the nefarious Yiling Patriarch to justice, and the hijinks that ensue when you accidentally marry your greatest enemy/love of your life.]]>'fanfic -untamed/mdzs +lanwangji/weiwuxian -scarletpimpernel "crossover ^delightful # !

sophia_sol“Are you cold?” he asks, because Shang Qinghua is usually cold. Mobei-jun does his best to keep him well supplied with furs, and warm cups of tea, and other necessities, but he still sometimes catches him blowing on the tips of his fingers in between drafts of trade agreements.
“Ah, a little,” Shang Qinghua says, rubbing at his cheek with one hand, “but it’s all right, my king.”
Mobei-jun says nothing, only extends a hand to tap him on the head, once, carefully. He stabilizes Shang Qinghua’s temperature with the touch, and watches as his cheeks go flushed.
“There,” he says.

sophia_solGrandmother ruled Gir Niajra, and always had.
Jummai felt certain this was so, mostly because it was impossible to imagine otherwise: anyone, anyone at all, seated so comfortably on that great golden throne except Grandmother? Anyone who could look or speak with such authority, to whom so many great and worthy people bowed down? No—only Grandmother. It had always been Grandmother, and it always would be.
Then Grandmother died; and there was a war.
(Or: Jummai is a princess without a throne—but she has no intention of leaving to others what is rightfully hers. She needs a wife with an army, and gets one; but her wife seems impervious to her tactical charm, she keeps making mistakes, and her cousin still wants her dead.)]]>'fiction -originalfic ^excellent $femslash "marriageofconvenience :10k-20k .downloaded @damkianna ! .to-rereadhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:sophia_sol/b:46a5c4bb92d7/J'attendrai - Quasar2017-04-19T22:20:24+00:00

sophia_solStranded on the planet Sigma Nox while searching for a missing away team, Spock and Kirk find themselves pitted against a disturbing native life form. With the captain out of commission on a regular basis and Spock struggling to preserve his stoicism, staying alive is difficult enough – but when a slim chance for escape surfaces, their resolve is truly put to the test. Together they must fight for survival in the heart of an alien jungle, and in the process, uncover the mystery of the planet’s past. Slow build K/S.
Written for the 2011 Star Trek Big Bang on LJ - look for links to the mix and art there!
Warnings: Minor character death. Mind control themes and sort-of-zombies. Dark at times due to twisted xenobiological shenanigans. Mild themes of stress-related weight loss. Heaps of TOS references and/or spoilers. Eventual smut. Freakishly long chapters.
A very good fic! I loved the inclusion and importance of Longclaw, and how different she was while still able to work together with them. I was also very interested by the ecology/history/alien-anthropology of the planet, and although I am sad the fic didn't end by giving us conclusions about exactly what all is going on with this place, it leaves the characters also invested and wanting/intending to know more, which was good and worked for the fic.]]>'fanfic -startrek_aos +kirk/spock :40k-100k $dudeslash @aldora89 *oc "aliens ^excellent .downloaded ! .to-rereadhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:sophia_sol/b:933142e35a5d/Un Nouvel Éspoir - kaasknot2016-04-12T00:53:41+00:00

sophia_solBeing an account, in pastiche style, of a boy whose story may or may not be the embodiment of the hero’s journey, and who therefore encounters a call to adventure, a wise advisor, a mystical weapon, a road of trials, a rogue, a princess, and a villain (in that order); and who, over the course of fighting an evil empire, finds himself attaining his goals, both symbolic and literal. In space.
HOLY SHIT THIS FIC. Apparently the author intends to write the entirety of the original trilogy of star wars in this style but even if they never get around to the rest of it I can die happy because as it is this is 17k words about Ben Kenobi and the history of Tatooine in the style of the digression about the Bishop that starts Les Mis and IT'S SO GOOD.]]>'fanfic ^interesting ! -starwars -lesmiserables "wip @kaasknot $gen *obi-wan ^excellent .downloaded .to-rereadhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:sophia_sol/b:c3121e72cc10/A Bit Too Much Good Work - a_t_rain2016-03-26T16:15:29+00:00

sophia_solA serial story of what-if: what if Cam had been a little more injured, and what if Jack's clone had been a little less willing to walk away.
I've been intending to read this fic since 2009, but I'm glad I didn't read it at the time because I only had a link to "A Howling in the Factory Yard," and didn't know there was a whole 'verse it was part of.
A frigging amazing story. Starts with lots of background and contextualization and becoming a community, all of which is great, then when the plot happens JD is so isolated while having to do hard things which is so much the better having come after the build-up, and then he gets to go home. This page doesn't have the concluding fic arc linked and it was several days after reading the fic that I discovered it did exist; the series wasn't actually abandoned, it just wasn't crossposted from dw. On first reading I was feeling super betrayed because that meant the emotional arc was never wrapped up.

http://shweta-narayan.livejournal.com/204154.html
sophia_solWe tend to have this idea that categories, like "bird" or "food" (or like "human" or "white", which is what this is all really about) are like solid boxes. Entities are either in them or out of them, with a clear and unchanging boundary, and everything inside is an unsorted & equal jumble, and everything outside ditto.
This notion gets strongly underscored by our cultures, so it can be hard to ... er... unpack. But the fact is, cognitive categories aren't actually like boxes. They have internal structure, and fuzzy boundaries (which people can draw in different places, and move depending on context), and these things matter hugely in how we think about and deal with oppression.
I'm going to start by talking about research on the category "bird", because there's been a lot of it (c.f. Eleanor Rosch's work in the 70s and early 80s, which kicked it off), and it's pretty neutral so it'll be easier/less triggery for people to think about the category structure.
So! The "bird" category has (somewhat culture specific) internal structure. For example, most Americans will agree that a robin is a better example of a bird than an albatross, and an albatross is a better bird than an ostrich. (And while bats are not birds, they are better birds than horses are, and horses are better birds than refrigerators are; so the gradations continue to some extent outside the category boundary).
such a great post]]>'resource @shweta_narayan .downloaded ! .to-reread >sj >reallifehttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:sophia_sol/b:d72ac2ea194a/Let's Go (Young Men Dead) - sweetestdrain2015-02-17T01:25:20+00:00

sophia_solAngela was stalking herself.
She was packing for Japan and she had better things to worry about than doppelgangers, so she was trying to pretend her self wasn't there.
She thought she would probably need one pair of formal shoes, but she couldn't decide whether she should pack the new fancy shoes—which were beautiful and appropriate, but untried—or the old stalwart black peeptoes. They were a little manky, but they had seen her through May Balls and medsoc dinners alike.
"Bring both," said her old self.
Her old self could not enter the room without Angela's permission. She hovered at the window, peering in.
Angela was not going to invite her in. It was a cold night, but the dead don't feel the cold.
"I'm travelling light," said Angela. She set the new shoes down and picked up the old pair. What did it matter if they were scuffed? They had never let her down before. "I'm not bringing you also. All the more I shouldn't be bringing extra shoes."
"What lah, not bringing me," said her old self. "I'm part of you what."

I’m pretty sure my teacher didn’t really know either. In fact, most introductions to the works of Machiavelli that I’ve read didn’t even manage to make it clear. After ten years as a specialist in the Renaissance, I think I can finally explain why.
(the fundamental mistake most introductions to Machaivelli make is that they start by talking about Machiavelli. Context is everything.)
