    Summary

    At last, Maul has found Kenobi hiding in the rocky wastes of Tatooine. But the fight has gone out of Obi-Wan, and Maul gets no satisfaction from his surrender. He decides to make a project of the broken Jedi, to rebuild him and use him in the fight against their common enemy.

    But the more Maul tries to mold his old foe, the more he seems to bend himself.

    sharp & illuminating & precise. ow. shares my preoccupation with what i have been calling the vampire money.mp3 problem but with incredible depth & thoughtfulness & an intensely present lestat narratorial voice. anyway i am going to reread this like four times probably it is genius but it did make me need to get up & pace. my favorite part is lestat crying about judy blume but there are many memorable moments that i keep turning over in my mind, although generally they are painful (lestat being mean to louis about woody allen; lestat driving, outside his own body, terrifying). also i love lestat's glasses. story of all time

    Summary

    Obviously, truth is stranger than fiction, and there’s always going to be edge cases in the real world, but for our purposes: just how realistic is Armand’s tragic backstory?

    Judging by the number of retweets/reblogs on this post and others like it, fannish opinion seems to be “not very”. But honestly? It’s not that far-fetched.

    Or: a fannish academic does a deep dive into the most controversial character in Daniel Molloy’s new novel.

    Summary

    "Anne had thought herself quite finished with wanting, but this want, once stumbled upon, would not quietly lay itself down in the grave with the others."

    Eight years changes a person, but not beyond all recognition. Fred Wentworth and Anne Elliot, years after a final break, find that they are more alike, in some respects, than they thought before.

    Summary

    The man who is All Might is a dazzling spectacle of wonder, irritation, and larger-than-life benevolence.

    It is Yagi Toshinori who puts Aizawa Shouta back together after USJ in careful arrays of stitches and thread, and that man is not All Might.

    Shouta would like to know more.

    there is a lot here that i love but the bit that tipped it over for me is the brief discussion of occupational dust inhalation disease as a problem for heroes, which felt like a nice present just for me (!!). absolutely bewitched by this take on all might in general, i think about him all the time
