    Summary

    Grantaire wakes up alone and starts rambling. When he sees his paintings and other objects of his scattered in the room, he concludes that he has gained consciousness in one of his dreams. He decides, then, to ramble a little more about everything to pass time, —about politics, art, philosophy, literature. He slowly remembers. He remembers how and then why he died.

    Translation of this play, a monologue with some musical touches. Music from Amaral's album Nocturnal. One hour and a half of duration. Its writer is Luciano Muriel and its actor is José Luis Lozano.

    Or, I saw this post about a Spanish play and decided to translate it.

    Summary

    Kirk still didn't get to slot a dagger between Pike's ribs. It is agonising, the way the captain fiddles with what, in Kirk's mind, is already rightfully his - the control panels of the Enterprise, the leans of the captain's chair, the clasp on Spock's shoulder, Spock's hair.
    If he was captain, Kirk thinks begrudgingly, he would never touch his woman like that. His woman is his jewel. His beautiful, polished, favourite knife.

    Or: Kirk wants to be captain. Spock wants Pike to to disappear. Caught in the Empire's net of lies, blood, sex and domination, they find a way to power - and to each other.

    Summary

    Based on this tumblr post:
    No one has noticed that I am not in the polycule. I have been dish martyr for 6 months now and my place in the house is all but solidified. I pay no bills, I have no rent to speak of; my only fear is that soon someone will ask “who are you dating?” and my palace will collapse on my head.

     

    Day 180 since Craig moved in. He clearly thinks he’s dating one of us, but we can’t figure out who. It’s possible one of us is lying about it for some reason but so far our efforts at Inquisition has led nowhere. We would kick him out, but he’s been doing the dishes for us. We’ve decided that for the sanity of the polycule we’ll keep up the charade. If all of us continue to be flirty with him, he’ll project his attraction onto whoever the hell he thinks is into him. This house of cards is delicate but necessary.

     

    And my immediate response to reading this was “...................this is so Matthias-core” so here this is :)

    Summary

    “Looks like I was right and it’s just rooms to let for horny folk, Boss.” Jesper waggled his eyebrows at Kaz.

    “But you couldn’t charm the bartender or any of the marks you were supposed to target, or you’d be in less of a snit with Wylan,” Kaz said. “And, speaking of my demo man, where is he? I need another round of smoke bombs for the docks tomorrow, and all he was supposed to do was investigate the cleaning fluids Hoede’s staff use.”

    Jesper let himself fall backwards into the chair Kaz kept opposite his desk. It was hard and uncomfortable, clearly designed to encourage anyone who sat down to voluntarily evict themselves as soon as possible. He slung one leg over an armrest and tipped his hat over his eyes.

    “Stupid kid couldn’t run a con if he tried,” Jesper muttered, enough under his breath that Inej ignored him.

    “Jes may have had no luck with the marks, but Wylan asked the bartender where the bathrooms were and ended up with two free drinks and a job offer.”

    “Did he take the job?” There was something up with Kaz’s voice. It was the same low scratch Jesper heard every day, but the rasp had a bit more urgency to it.

    Summary

    Jesper’s not stupid. He knows he’ll never get what he wants, and anyway, he doesn’t really know whatever that is, either. He just wants something else. Something more. Something terrifying.
    What he gets at the anonymous play night in a BDSM club is—Kaz.
