    Summary

    This is the first of a series of essays I wish to write on the Gender Politics of Sherlock fandom. There are many things I wanted to say at the official panel but was unable to, since it was derailed by a group of individuals who showed up with the intention of intimidating and harassing the panel moderator. In future essays, I’d like to share my thoughts on femslash, Mary Sues and the fridging of female characters, on heteronormativity in slash, and on queer representation beyond slash (bisexual, pansexual, asexual and trans people in fanworks and fan spaces). I’d like to touch on race and being a queer Woman of Color in a fandom mostly interested in White male characters.

    Before I get to those subjects, however, I feel a need to return to the original intended topic: the essay I began writing on my phone on the plane.

    And that essay is on the subject of noncon fanworks.

    Summary

    “I was thinking,” Loki says, jerking Thor from his blissful doze. “We really ought to find you a wife.”

    “No,” Thor replies immediately for he’s long learned that to be the safest reaction to any of Loki’s propositions. The words register a moment later and he blinks. “Wait, what?”

    Summary

    “Because we all drink of the Well of Urðr,” he says softly, still not looking upward. “You were born just before Father went to Jötunheimr. I was born just after he returned victorious.” And now his eyes are upon his, a wry smile curving up his lips before venturing no further. “You were the beginning. I was the ending. And between us lies the entirety of war.”

    Their time of trial in Vanaheimr was only the prelude to battle. In Asgard, the real war begins.

    Entirely unintended sequel to the much shorter and infinitely more readable The Fools We Are As Men.

    Summary

    When they divide you to lead you to the fall, only by coming together will you rise again. And if that makes you a fool, then wisdom is obviously hardly worth the trouble.

    Summary

    Keith tells the truth, makes a friend, and bleeds. Lotor falls hard.

    “Did you… Did you seduce the enemy?” Lance asks. “I didn’t know you had it in you.”

    Keith frowns. “I didn’t seduce him.”

    Silence descends and it’s one of those moments when he’s not in on the joke, because everyone is sharing looks.

    “I didn’t,” Keith repeats.
