Summary
Bilbo liked Erebor, he really did. Even if everyone seemed convinced he was going to leave.
In which soil causes international incidents, Thorin is over-dramatic, and dwarves are rubbish at keeping secrets. Oh, and they build a garden. Eventually.

Summary
A year after the asteroid, a new government agency has arrested Danny on "public endangerment" charges, and they've shown no sign of releasing him any time soon or even allowing any of his loved ones to see him. So, naturally, Sam and Tucker and Valerie and Dani have taken it upon themselves to rescue him.
The plan is simple. In order to convince these federally funded goons to give Danny up, they're going to have to offer them something better.
Enter Vlad Plasmius.

Positive Representation, Complex Emotions, and a Fictional but Semi-Heroic SecUnit in Media by BlatantBookworm
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
I don’t normally pay that much attention to the credits. In general, I tend to care more about the fictional characters than the real humans playing them, but this had caught my attention.
I mean, it wasn't the first serial that ever put in a SecUnit as a villain instead of a prop. RihaniLane Street had actually made their SecUnit villain sympathetic before it tried to kill everyone. And obviously this fictional SecUnit was going to be a villain, too, because they always were, but that scene was —
The credits said ‘Made and Produced in GoodNightLander Independent.’
Oh.-
Or, Murderbot has feelings about finding positive representation.
Mostly positive.
Even when humans try, they get SecUnits wrong in media.
(Not the murder, the murders were justified, but the writers made the fictional SecUnit like cubicles)
(It’s still pretty positive.)Series

Summary
At least Geralt knows, now. He knows he’s cursed. He knows what it does to living things - both animals and plants. It’s like he’s diseased. He stands, and there’s a clinging wheeze in his chest, which he does his best to ignore.
After a contract hunting a mage goes awry, Geralt finds himself cursed with sickness, bubbling beneath his skin like a plague. It’s easy enough not to touch anyone - not to pass it on - until he meets Jaskier on the Path.

Summary
“Where are you going?” Geralt shouts over the storm. Jaskier doesn’t turn back, doesn’t answer him. Just keeps moving. “Jaskier, get back inside—”
“I’m leaving,” Jaskier calls over his shoulder.
“You can’t survive the Killer in—”
“Why do you even care?” Jaskier demands, finally whirling on Geralt. “You told me what you thought of me already. I should’ve listened the first time. You— All you do is—” His jaw works for a frustrated second before he shouts, wordless, digging the heels of his hands into his eyes again. “I can’t even fucking yell at you right!"
