    Summary

    It's 1986 and for Xie Lian, a deaf college student, the world keeps getting bigger. For the first time in his life, he’s putting himself out there and experiencing things his overprotective parents would never imagine, including four consecutive dates with Hua Cheng, a 21 year old Harley enthusiast whose laid back personality and fluent sign language make him irresistible.

    As overwhelming as his newfound independence is, Xie Lian is happier than he's ever been.

    All of this changed on November 12th, 1986 — the day he disappears without a trace.

    Xie Lian is kept bound in his captor’s basement — a man he cannot identify due to the mask he wears. When he manages to escape, he discovers he has been missing for nearly four years, and nothing in his life is the same. Worst of all, his captor remains a free man unless Xie Lian can find a way to identify him.

    Though his entire world has turned upside down, one thing remains the same: Hua Cheng’s affection for him. Together, they work through the events of the past four years to help Xie Lian come to terms with his trauma and find a way to catch his captor. It becomes clear before long that until the man is caught, Xie Lian is far from safe…

    Summary

    It started with a very boring and very rote delivery of paperwork from An Ding peak. Shen Qingqiu startles at the firm knock on his door, then rose from his desk. A wide eyed youth of about twelve stood on his doorstep. An Ding peak, judging from the colors. The boy has thick fluffy hair tied into a ponytail with big black eyes to match.

    Impossibly, the brat’s eyes got even bigger when he looked up at Shen Qingqiu.

     

    “Shen Shibo! This disciple is so excited to meet you! I have a package from my Shizun for you!” Barely pausing to take a breath, the boy pulls an entire satchel of scrolls from the qiankun pouch at his belt.

    This was no ordinary disciple, then. This was Shang Qinghua’s son. “And who might you be?” Shen Qingqiu drawls slowly.

    The child bows perfectly, and then ruins it by grinning up at Shen Qingqiu. “Answering Shen Shibo, this disciple is Luo Binghe.”

    Summary

    "Magic is alive, you fool, and it doesn’t react well to being abused or contained. With enough pressure, bones snap, organs rupture, and seidr breaks. And now it’s twisted and wrong, turning on itself and its host like a cancer, and nothing you or I can do will fix it.” In which things go a little differently after Loki and his minions leave the SHIELD facility with the Tesseract.

    ("Graphic Depictions of Violence" is marked even though there really isn't a lot of violence, per se, but there is some body horror; I think it's fairly mild, although as always YMMV. There's also a brief scene of what's essentially mind rape.)

    Summary

    Once upon a time, a Midgardian village was being menaced by a ravenous, blood-hungry troll. The terrified people beseeched the gods for help. Odin Allfather heard their cries and sent his young but mighty son Thor to exterminate the creature.

    He didn’t expect him to fall in love with the damned thing.

    Summary

    Clint would have come to help. Like, really. If it hadn't been for just a tiny detail—the kind which causes the best laid plans to spiral into chaos.

    It's not like Clint had a plan, anyway. Still, this whole slavery thing is supposed to be Loki's punishment. Maybe Clint's being petty, but it sounds more like the joke's on him.

    Summary

    The Speedwagon Foundation, a prolific oil company, has discovered a new reserve under central Egypt. This potent zero-emission fuel - named Arrowoil - is said to be the biggest step humanity has taken since the lightbulb. What better way to advertise it than with a Grand Prix? Thus, the Steel Ball Run was born - the greatest motorcycle race in the history of the sport. Seven-billion dollars. Nine circuits. One winner.
    What could possibly go wrong?

    For Johnny, everything. Literally everything.

    Summary

    Gyro squints at him. "Barbecue sounds like a fake word."

    "It's not!" Johnny protests, twisting the hare over the fire. "I got no idea where it comes from, but I swear it's a real word. Barbecue is stuff you cook slow, with smoke. It's great. When this is over I'm gonna make you come back to Kentucky with me so you can have real barbecue." He pauses, then adds, "And mint juleps. I bet you'd like mint juleps."

    "Johnny, you keep saying words at me and I'm almost entirely certain they're fake," Gyro complains, starting to prepare the other hare. "What in the hell is a julep?"

    Summary

    "Gyro!" Johnny whisper-shrieks, and then he says, stupidly, "Why in the hell would a bear speak English?"

    "Ah! You're right," Gyro says, and Johnny almost relaxes, until he shouts, "Ué! Ll'urzo! Aje nu Stand?"

    "I'm going to kill you if the bear doesn't beat me to it," Johnny informs him, strained.

    "I don't think he speaks napulitano," Gyro tells him. "Should I try Italian next?"

    "No," Johnny hisses. "You should try shutting your God damn pie hole."

    --

    Johnny and Gyro have a nice day.
