Summary
The year is 2391. An abandoned, damaged Borg sphere dated from the Species 8472 War has been found spat out of a wormhole near the Alpha/Gamma Quadrant border, filled with nearly 3,000 dormant drones in need of a home. While Starfleet wants to know how it got there, its ally, the Liberated Borg Cooperation's Reclamation Project, has the experience and knowledge to help get the six-month investigation (and reclamation) job done. When Starfleet's chosen project lead is master engineer Geordi La Forge, what could go wrong when his Reclamation Project co-manager is Executive Director Hugh: the same xB of Liberated Borg renown?
This is an adventure spanning three acts: delving into what secrets the Borg Collective could hold, and what their reaped actions could sew throughout the galaxy. It's also an exercise in worldbuilding: what a former Borg (xB) society might look like, and what a society rooted in the celebration of transhumanism could be.
But most of all, Through the Eye of a Needle is a love story of healing through reconnection in unlikely places: how leaving a comfort zone can be scary, but we're all the more beautiful for going forward— to be the best version of ourselves, hand in hand with another.

Real World Cultural and Linguistic Influences in Delicious in Dungeon by room_surprise

Summary
[NON-FICTION FANWORK] Dungeon Meshi is full of vivid and complex world-building. When you take all the information in the manga as a whole, there are clear and consistent patterns in what real world cultures the author was inspired by, and how she arranges them on the Dungeon Meshi world map.
In this essay, I will catalog and explain every real world cultural reference I was able to identify in the manga, including character and location names, historical and mythological references, clothing, and of course food!
WARNING: This essay is full of spoilers for the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, all the extra materials, and the anime. Disturbing and violent moments that happen in the series are described, discussed and analyzed. The essay also discusses real-life world history and mythology, which contains sensitive subjects like war, death, slavery, abortion, child killing, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. These topics are mentioned in an academic context, and not described. Please proceed with caution if this concerns you.
