Summary
From Alice, Charlie, Grace, Ted: The Collected Letters of Charles F. Xavier:
Because they cohabitated the vast majority of the eighty years of their partnership, much of what Xavier and Lehnsherr said about their work, their relationship, and their personal beliefs was known only to them. However, between 1943 and 1945, Lehnsherr was stationed in Los Alamos, New Mexico, as one of many physicists and chemists working on a weapon the likes of which the world had never before seen. It is in his correspondence with Lehnsherr during this time that Xavier's writing is at its most honest, vulnerable, and revealing of his character and convictions. It was also in these letters that Xavier elucidated for the first time the idea that would become his crowning achievement as well as the capstone of 20th-century biology: the human genome map.

When the settlement encounters a deadly threat, he embarks on a dangerous odyssey with new arrival, walking encyclopedia, and enormous pain-in-the-ass Charles Xavier in the hopes they can find what they need to save the settlement—before the coming winter or unpredictable magnetic storms bring death to not just them, but everyone they love.

Summary
Greenkeep was an American animated television series created by Logan Howlett for Toon TV. The series follows mouse scholar Jess (Charles Xavier); his rival, the otter warrior Miska (Erik Lehnsherr); and their cohort of friends and allies as they fight to overthrow the Kingdom of Crows which has occupied their homeland. It aired for six seasons, from February 2003 to June 2009.
Greenkeep received critical acclaim for its characters, soundtrack, and exploration of complex themes such as war and free will. It was the first significant project of several prominent actors, including Sean Cassidy, Alex Summers, and Raven Darkhölme, and is also known for its role in introducing Academy Award-winning actor Charles Xavier and his now-husband, director and producer Erik Lehnsherr.

Summary
In letters to friends, I sometimes include short fics which are then polished and posted six months after the letter is received for fandom-at-large to read. These fics-lettres are usually 750-1500 words & are placed in this collection to signal to readers that these works are standalone shorts.
Though this series is marked as complete, new fics are still being added.

Republic of Heaven Community Radio by ErinPtah
Fandom: Fail_Fandomanon RPF, His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman, Welcome to Night Vale
05 Feb 2021
Summary
More than a century after the events of His Dark Materials, a Rusakov particle physicist (and lifelong Lyra Belacqua fanboy) brings a team of experimental theologians to Night Vale.
It was supposed to be a simple research trip. Instead, Carlos finds himself making a home, falling in love, and — with allies like the alethiometrist who adores his hair, a well-read middle-schooler who's handy with a knife, and a young woman accidentally displaced out of space and time — facing down a gathering crisis which threatens to topple the entire Republic of Heaven.

Bookmarker's Notes
CLASSIC. The long, plotty AU that sets Night Vale post-canon of His Dark Materials. Carlos comes to town, falls in love, and battles against the multidimensional hordes of Strexcorp. Featuring extensive Dana and Tamika sections, an adorable extended Ramirez family, worldbuilding to die for, and supporting scientists you will fall in love with. Every part is funny and fleshed-out. Read the supporting materials.
Warnings: violence (gore, major character injury), fantasy sexual assault, minor character death.

Post-"Marshal on Mars," Croach and Red have a family, and Sparks joins in almost by default. Literally the perfect dynamic for this entire fandom.

Summary
In his 2009 book on Captain America comic books, war photography, and American propaganda, Everett claims: “There is nothing to suggest that either the graphic novels issued during the war or the photographs taken during Rogers’ stay with the Howling Commandos can serve as a basis for a queer reading of Rogers and Barnes’ relationship. But even more importantly, there is nothing to suggest that such a relationship ever existed in the first place, and as such, those queer readings are not only misguided, but also libelous” (197).
[from: Lynn E. Anderson, Captain America: Behind the Mask. Steve Rogers and the Contemporary Hero Narrative (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012), p. 242.]
In the aftermath of Steve's return to the world of the living and the battle of New York, the academia and the Internet react.

FAVE. Captain America: The Winter Soldier through in-universe fandom and academia. Epistolary, and possibly the best fic I've ever read.

Summary
“Alexander Hamilton! I’m at your service, sir!”
Aaron looks at the hand and doesn’t take it. His hands are safely in his pocket, but he’d taken off his gloves, and he is not particularly in the mood to feel the single most consequential juncture of a stranger’s life.
Alexander is still grinning at him, and the moment is stretching on, and he refuses to put his hand down, and Aaron has about half a second before this staring contest verges beyond the mere impolite and into the territory of heavy, awkward weight and scattered excuses—and before he can think better of it, Aaron takes Alexander’s hand.

FAVE. AU where Aaron Burr is a seer: he sees the deaths of the people he touches, and he is sent through time to relive his life, with full memories, when he dies. This is the story of his desperate Groundhog Day-esque attempt to keep himself from killing Alexander Hamilton. Abandoned.
Warnings: slaveholding characters, major character death.

52 apologies from Erik to Charles over the course of their relationship. Epistolary, an at times gutting and at times uplifting take on canon events. More canon than canon.
