    Summary

    So, this is the first I've ever been able to turn in fanfiction (albeit fringe fanfiction) for a class and my teacher says this is one of the only assignments she's ever read that made her smile. It's not a very smile-y work, I suppose, but I thought I'd put it out here anyway.

    All of the quotes come from the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass except for the last one (the one about the universal definition of a slave), Lose Your Mother by Saidiya Hartman.

    Summary

    The picturesque village of Buell, Maine is one of the last in the United States to continue the tradition of the “harvest” or “prosperity” lottery. Its residents insist the lottery makes them stronger, even as condemnation from outsiders grows.

    Summary

    It was Wei Ying's fifty-first descent into the Underneath. He wasn't expecting it to be different than any of the fifty times before. But that the was the problem with expectations when it came to this place; it would always find a way to defy them.

    When Wei Ying jumped and wrapped his arms around the Moon, he hadn't known what would happen.

    But had you asked him to guess, he would not have guessed this.

    He shook the dizziness from his eyes, focusing on the shadowed face of a man. A man who was staring down at him, eyes wide with surprise, though he couldn't be more shocked than Wei Ying who, even over a decade later, would never forget that face.
    "Lan Zhan?"
