Summary
Izzy is always the first one to arrive at the pub, signing off on shipments and taking stock, and if Edward shows up it will be just before last call, when Izzy is dead on his feet and can’t say no to a single thing. Truthfully, though, he rarely can.
Every day starts and ends exactly the same way, until a particularly chatty history professor begins sharing his morning commute.

Summary
Edward, Stede thinks, examining the man laying on the bed. He looks for all the world like a fearsome outlaw, which makes the failed robbery all the more confusing to Stede, but there’s a vulnerability in his sleeping face that tugs on his heartstrings. Stede’s always been a bit of a sucker for a stray. He attributes it to being a bit of a stray himself.
Edward looks tired. Really tired, more than just the wound would justify.
Perhaps he can get some rest here. Perhaps Stede can help with that, at least.
In which notorious outlaw Edward Teach and his band of miscreants are taken in by kindly ranch owner Stede Bonnet and his misfit crew of semi-reformed criminals.
AKA the cowboy au no one asked for but I desperately want. Yeehaw.
[COMPLETE!]

A Moment in the Soul Can Last Forever by orphan_account

Summary
If you asked Izzy Hands what it's like to manage Edward's drag bar (since the man does happen to also be his ex), he'd tell you to fuck off because he's too busy and too fucking tired to think about it. The truth is, he can't imagine himself doing anything else.
That is, until some prick named Stede Bonnet opens a queer-friendly cafe across the road - although you'd never know it, from the amount of time he spends hanging around watching their shows.
That is, until Edward starts... getting better. Being happier. Wanting to try getting on stage again, for the first time since his career-ending injury.
That is, until Roach, the weird baker from across the road starts stealing his cigarettes at four in the morning when he's clocking off, and he starts to remember what it's like to actually enjoy himself again.

On the Subject of Noncon Fanworks: Thoughts of a Reader, Writer, Survivor by Anarfea
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)
12 Sep 2016
Tags
Summary
This is the first of a series of essays I wish to write on the Gender Politics of Sherlock fandom. There are many things I wanted to say at the official panel but was unable to, since it was derailed by a group of individuals who showed up with the intention of intimidating and harassing the panel moderator. In future essays, I’d like to share my thoughts on femslash, Mary Sues and the fridging of female characters, on heteronormativity in slash, and on queer representation beyond slash (bisexual, pansexual, asexual and trans people in fanworks and fan spaces). I’d like to touch on race and being a queer Woman of Color in a fandom mostly interested in White male characters.
Before I get to those subjects, however, I feel a need to return to the original intended topic: the essay I began writing on my phone on the plane.
And that essay is on the subject of noncon fanworks.

Summary
While heading for the Seine, Javert was diverted by a situation that rapidly spiralled out of control. Collar, chain, and Jean Valjean: he wishes that he reached the river after all.
He walked over to Valjean’s chair and fell to his knees and bowed his head.
“I am not a guest in your home,” he said, low and deliberate. “Master.”
Dystopian AU slavefic based upon the Dallas 2014 production, with characterisation and events based upon the same and shaken with very liberal splashes of Brick. Primarily worldbuilding, plot, and character development, with the slash happening as a byproduct. Fic has completed posting in its entirety.
Title taken from Demons by Imagine Dragons. Subtitled "A Treatise on the Role of the Law in the Dispensation of Mercy and Justice."
