I shouldn't have needed another body telling me what's up and what's down in the Shire, right you are. But you take one small step after another, till you wake up one Wintring morn in a damp Shirriff-house with your back stiff and your head bleared, and it's not the life you used to know no more.

It didn't fit in our heads that our duties might be aught else than what we'd been learned to do as our job.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Hello. Thank you. Breathe deep. My name is Thundertooth, of the line of Crookeye. Though, to be fair, you might know me better from some of my other roles." A TED tale from modern Dinotopia.</blockquote> ➤ authors' note: <blockquote>So my snapshot into a citizen of Dinotopia in a modern, global setting kind of maybe took a slight sidestep into an analogy on agency and representation in film, sort of, and oh god, I made myself sniffle for a T-Rex's homecoming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The explosion of a Death Star creates enough of a disruption in the fabric of space-time to cause a temporal anomaly. General Hux doesn't quite know how to deal with the appearance of the Grand Moff Tarkin in the middle of the Starkiller's control room. He also doesn't know how much Tarkin has deduced about his situation... or about Hux himself.</blockquote> ➤ the two chapters are sort of...parallel fics with different focuses. And okay I enjoyed chapter 1, but then chapter 2 with the scientists was AMAZING, I'm so pleased, this fic is ridiculous in the best ways

<blockquote>This is just a little thing--see, raphaela667 wrote this really lovely story, Five Times James T Kirk Didn't Get Married (And One Time He Did), and I was so very intrigued by the ideas in the first one that I just had to poke around a bit. Besides, it was only a matter of time before he found out he had a kid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The overworked project manager on the redesign of the Imperial Lambda-class shuttle gets surprisingly competent feedback from an unknown official on Coruscant.
