Look, can we just talk this over like adults?
And the fact that I’m saying this despite the WIRE FENCE you’ve now erected round the perimeter of my farm ought to show you that I mean it. Please reply!
Harry.

Summary
“Mu-shidi,” Yue Qingyuan speaks up, taking his seat at the head of the table. “Have you heard of this curse?”
“I’m afraid not,” Mu Qingfang says, shaking his head. “A curse of compulsion, with dire consequences for disobedience… I’ve heard of many similar things, but not exactly this.”
“For all we know, the perpetrator invented this little trap just for us,” Shen Qinqiu says, tapping his fan dangerously. “Tailormade to ruin us.”
“I have no secrets to hide,” Liu Qingge says, and lifts his chin challengingly at Shen Qingqiu, who bristles in return. “Do you?”
“Ah, Liu-shidi, if you don’t have any secrets then you should get some real quick!” Shang Qinghua says with bright, manic cheer, his smile and his eyes a little too wide. “The consequences for not meeting the curse’s requirements would be very very bad!”
-
The Peak Lords of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect are stricken with a curse that forces them to reveal a secret, and they all must submit to this curse or suffer the consequences...
Yue Qingyuan wishes he were anywhere but here.

Summary
Once Green Lantern is gone, his emerald trail fading into darkness, Clark says, “Do you need to sit down?”
“No, I…” The alien appears to steady himself. “Allow me to explain. My name is Tomar-Re. I am the Green Lantern of Sector 2813.”
“We’re neighbors, then.”
“Yes.” Tomar glances away awkwardly, but Clark senses that he wants very much to say something more. “I’d heard rumors of a survivor, but I did not think I would ever encounter you. You are Kal-El, are you not?”
Understanding hits Clark like a wave. “Krypton was in your sector.”

Mostly they only talk about race when Hardison's using it as a distraction. It's a method that doesn't work all of the time, even though Hardison's more careful than anyone thinks about choosing when to use it. He definitely wouldn't have tried it here. [For the Racebending Revenge challenge, rewriting Nate as black]

Summary
"Hello?" Hijikata says. The voice that comes out of the phone is slightly tinny but distinctively smooth.
"Is this Shinsengumi Vice-Commander Hijikata Toushiro?" Hijikata's mystery caller asks.
"Yeah," Hijikata says. "Who is this?"
"I'd like to set an appointment." The person on the other end of the line says. "8 o'clock, Saturday evening. I'll text you the address."
"Sorry?" Hijikata frowns, taking the phone away from his ear to check the caller ID- Unknown, as he had seen when he had picked up the phone. "Who the hell is this?"
"It's about Sakata Gintoki." The voice says. "8 o'clock. Don't be late."
The dial tone sounds as they hang up. Hijikata glares at his phone.
"What the hell was that?" He mutters.
--
Or: If you want to date Sakata Gintoki, you might have to deal with a few other Joi Rebel idiots first.
Or #2: Katsura, Sakamoto, and Takasugi all give Hijikata the shovel talk. In their own unique ways.

Summary
Sam Wilson had just been outed by Captain America.
Quite an achievement, given that the man had been last seen nosing a plane into the Arctic fifty years ago.
The fact that Captain America's official biography outs him doesn't just have consequences for Steve Rogers.
Sequel to Subjective Histories.

Summary
“In my village, the adults all work together to make sure the kids know how to herd cows and plant crops.”
“You learned how to herd cows and plant crops?” Kenji nodded and Kunikida continued. “Not anything… else?”
“Yeah! That’s all you really need to know so there’s no point in spending time learning more when you could be using that time to take care of your cows.”
Kunikida supposed that made sense for Kenji’s former situation, but this was going to have to change.
“You need an actual education! You need to go to school.”
“Why?” Ranpo spoke up from his desk. “School is stupid.”
“Ranpo! How could you say something like that?!”
Yosano snorted in amusement. “I don’t think you’re one to talk, Ranpo. You didn’t even finish high school.”
“Ranpo’s a high school dropout?!” Kunikida whipped around to face Ranpo. “And you work as a detective?”
“To be fair to Ranpo, I worked as a doctor without a license for a while,” Yosano informed them. “But at least I got a license after I turned 18. And I already had a high school diploma.” She smirked. “Ranpo still hasn’t gone back to school.”
Or: Kunikida learns about his coworkers’ education situations.

Summary
Everyone knows the dark story behind the haunted Refuge Juvenile Prison, the fire set by an inmate that killed so many. The ghost-hunting team of Beyond Belief only think about how it'll make the perfect season finale episode. David Jacobs doesn't believe in the supernatural, but his role as team skeptic is tested when he makes a strange connection with a ghost inside Refuge; the ghost of a young boy named Jack that seems intent on telling him something.
The reality of what happened at the Refuge is so much darker than what appeared in the newspapers, and David chases glimpses of the past through his connection to the ghost. As the team gets dragged further and further into the mystery behind the haunted juvenile prison, the story only gets more dangerous. Soon enough, it's lives at stake in the race to discover the truth.
Can David find out what really happened Halloween night of 1899 before the Refuge claims their lives as well?- Language:
