Fic Update thread 52 (the _really_ secret stuff)

[Mamorien]

Fair point, though, again, interested to see what happens when and if ZZ works out that the woman stoking his anger at the man who killed Zang Li's body is an ally of the man who hollowed out the kid's soul.

And so, on to updates. Threads of Destiny (the other OEX we follow here) remains in the social arena.

When all of the delegates had settled into their positions again, Cai Renxiang rose from her seat to address them all once more.

"Today, we have made excellent progress. Although the details must be worked out in following days to ensure that there is no confusion or discrepancies, we have achieved a broad consensus. Before we retire this day, there is another matter which we must see to. The Celestial Empire is vast, and we are not its only province, just as the White Sky is not the only territory of the Polar Nation. In the east, the Grave of the Sun presents an impassable barrier, and so that may be left aside. In the west, however, the province of the Western Territories and the territory of the Twisted Pines may come into contact. As such, some degree of agreement must be reached as to their border as well. Thus, I invite Princess Sun, representing her great-grandfather, King Sun Shao of the Western Territories, to this table."

"And I cede my scepter now to Emissary Dzintara, Blade of the Twin Crescent Temple-Lodge," Jaromila followed.

It's a one-two punch from Hermione's New Job (HP/DC)! First, Letters to the Lantern! has an enclosure For Your Signature.

Green Lantern gets official correspondence concerning a pre-existing multinational agreement concerning the Corps. Who knew?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/539020.../137025187

Then, in First Times, she gets her First Admonishments from the author of that letter and some of his colleagues, admonitions that demand a change to the format.

It seems there are assorted people, top professionals all, who are somewhat upset with the new Green Lantern’s activities. An unexpected surprise for our hero, who rather thinks she’s been doing a good job. Right. I’m here, Chase, mind telling me what’s this about?”

New chapter of Napalm222's Agent x Family, finally exploring Taylor's alt-power in depth, plus some minor food porn (Artistic Tea Engravings? Something like that...) and an action sequence as well.

Maybe don't let that cafe erotica tempt you into indulging if you have a sensitive constitution, okay? Taylor's getting hit square on by the trauma hammer.

Commentary

I think the level of violence is appropriate to and in service of the plot, precisely because this part is through Taylor's eyes, and she's tough and resilient for a teen who's never been exposed to that kind of thing but still deeply affected by it, and being linked up with Will and Mack only makes it more personal, tasting the blood as Mack rips out a man's throat, feeling it as Will tears Alabaster's skull open and pulps his supertumors brain and all, on top of having actually pulled the trigger to shoot a guy herself even if she was letting Will reverse-Master her through the link at the time. This one's a little heavy, even compared to Will's battles on duty before.

Also too, on Letters to the Lantern! (HP/DC), Hermione must face a foreboding question: What Evil Lurks in the Extremely Restricted Section of the Hogwarts Library?

A student writes to Green Lantern concerning a very, very dangerous mystical tome at her school. Also, that the adults are stupid and won’t listen when told about said dangers. Another familiar topic for our hero.

From our "See what you miss if you don't stay alert?" department, it turns out there's a new Letters to the Lantern! (HP/DC), as RR and GL become Paranormal Pen Pals.

A Raven writes back to a Lion. Or ex-Lion. Perhaps an Emerald Hippogriff, given Hermione’s aerial exploits.
