    Summary

    Father Dionysios O'Luna arrives to his new parish on Pluto and is asked to perform funeral rites. Not for his predecessor, though he has died just the day before. In fact, not even for a human.

    A 'verse in which the Fair Folk join space exploration.

    A gift for Yuletide 2023.

    Summary

    A collection of short pieces in a variety of genres about Guy, Matthew, and their friendship.

    The six chapters take their titles, epigraphs, and themes from the six chapters of De Humani Corporis Fabrica Librorum Epitome, an anatomical text by Andreas Vesalius published in 1543. In some cases the thematic connection is fairly direct; in others it is more metaphorical. I have used L.R. Lind’s 1949 translation of the Epitome, which is in the public domain.

    Summary

    When Edmund Blackadder, bloodied from shrapnel and ears ringing from the shelling, stumbled over Captain Darling's body caught in a tangle of barbed wire, he did not, despite many assurances towards it over the years, laugh, clap, and dance.
    Instead, Blackadder took in the dark-wet definitely-not-mud stain spread all over Darling's uniformed chest, the pistol lax in his grip, his unseeing eyes turned up towards the overcast sky, and said, "oh, bloody buggering hell."

    "Quite," agreed Darling, squinting down at his own corpse; and, despite the unfortunate circumstances, took great pleasure in hearing Blackadder scream like a little girl.
