Firstly,
THIS FIC! (Title is spoilery.) It goes places I'd not thought possible, and does it without sentimentality, or any kind of fix-it. Incredible writing.
Second,
THIS ESSAY. Children of Earth - Ethics, narrative structure, and [spoiler]. This is pretty much *exactly* the essay I would have written if I'd been able to get my thoughts into order.
And that's all for now. Summer holidays are TOO LONG!
