Warhammer 40,000, the background of a miniatures game.
Far future, but neo-medieval/dark age feel to it. The company that created it is in the UK, so a lot of their language/terminology is in old English and Germanic to give it that feel.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
It's a new one to me, so I just read it as a story, period. It did seem to have the mixture of tribal/primitive and futuristic.
Really well-done.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Ngah. CaBil, I'm sorry, your story is v. well done but unfortunately amych broke me. I -- no, she broke me. I'm broken. With the gah.
(prior to which I'd been admiring erika's Munch, and wishing I knew him outwith her fic, but then - amych, and the broken-ness.)

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm sure he would like to know you, too. In more than one sense, probably. I don't know very much about amych's heroes, but still, good story.

Schmoop, of a kind. This week's Open on Sunday drabble challenge is "ice Cream".
Leftovers (referencing I Will Remember You)
The ice cream, a soupy mass, sat on the table. It was liquefying slowly, its butterfat solids breaking down, returning to its original state. The Hyperion's fans were no match for the LA heat.
"Angel?"
His stance caught Cordelia's attention. Shoulders hunched, head bowed, the way a man might stand if he was fighting tears.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I - I just need to get rid of this ice cream."
"Since when do you eat ice cream?"
"It was left over." Something in his face broke. "From when Buffy was here last."
She stared, uncomprehending. This was not her memory.

And, another one. It's been too long since I played with Darla in Tuscany.
Darla
She found him wandering on the lungarno, the full moon bathing Florence in mystery and nacre.
He was pretty, Darla thought, very very pretty; full lips, black-oil eyes, crisp hair. Pretty Italian teenager. Such a lovely treat for a hot night.
She fell into step beside him. Three minutes was all it took to charm him. "Buy me a gelato?" she asked, and he hurried to comply.
In a twisted alleyway near the Palazzo, she dripped gelato on his ruined throat, and licked it off, mixing with his blood. His sightless eyes stared at Darla, at eternity, at ice cream.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
unfortunately amych broke me. I -- no, she broke me. I'm broken. With the gah.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Blew my circuits.
Just what I was hoping to do. t g

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Um. I actually read circuits as clitoris for a moment there. Which pretty much sums up my response, I guess.
blushing madly
Deb, gorgeous. Gutting. Literally, in Darla's case.
