so my contribution for this year's hunter x hunter big bang event (@hxhbigbang25) is a hisoillu fic! here is the first chapter of terms of engagement.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

The king has declared that the first to best him in a duel will win his hand in marriage. Citizens across the land take up his challenge, assembling in the palace courtyard each night. But the king is a more dangerous opponent than they're led to believe, and the kingdom’s numbers begin to dwindle. Illumi is contracted to handle the issue. Hisoka is oddly cooperative. Inspired by the tale of Scheherazade (One Thousand and One Nights). Or: when courting is unintentional.

enjoy a little bit of side character love, including the phantom troupe! i even made the fic a spotify playlist (which is way too long but i had fun making it so it's all good)~

ALSO... i am sososo excited to have been paired with THREE amazing artists for the event: @trashsketch, @illumiiiz, and @apricatjam. i'll be linking to their illustrations as they come out!

the goblin emperor is such a book. Opens with a mock academic text giving you a bunch of terms to remember. you’re line okay this is a fantasy novel with Terms. not uncommon. fantasy and sci fi novels like to flesh out their alien worlds by inventing whole slangs and made up words that work diagetically within context. and this book It’s seemingly got a whole grammar system and detailed worldbuilding which is cool and you’re prepared for the Terms. and then BAM fucking cold open the emperors dead and the main characters speak in archaic English okay wait what the fuck is an elf or goblin in this context actually and then as soon as all that percolates it proceeds to bludgeon you upside the fucking head with an entire grammar system made up around adding an entire formal pronoun to the English language. Fuck you . and so not only are you like Hey what’s a goblin you’re also being absolutely dumped with an onslaught of Terms that mean nothing to you AND all the characters are speaking in THE ROYAL WE the entire time AND no breaks baby the political intrigue starts NOW!! and this is done with such razor sharp precision that every moment a character slips into informal I/thou it is HUGELY noticeable and significant. By the end of the book you are GASPING when the informal I/thou gets whipped out. the book is literally forcing your attention and entrenching you in its world by making its world deliberately opaque. To understand the word of tge you have to be studying it as you read, to be paying attention and absorbing context and enjoying doing so. it won’t spoon feed you and that’s the point. Your understanding of it is so hard fought that it makes you feel pretty proud of yourself once you get the hang of it. As a result you feel that much more attached to its world; its world feels that much more lived in. A delightfully effective tactic and toolset I’m obsessed with it

imagine: you're a minimum wage mail carrier. you have to deliver a letter to some guy's house WAY out in the middle of nowhere. the letter tells him he was elected president. the guy didn't know he was running for president. a month later you're secretary of state and directly advising the president on nuclear policy.

this is the plot of the goblin emperor from csevet's point of view.

[turtlebot113]

You know, I think in literally any other epic fantasy book, Csevet would turn out to secretly have been, like, the old court spymaster all along or the mastermind behind the rebellion or a god in disguise or something...but no, not here. Not in Katherine Addison's book.

This guy is literally just some random mail carrier who happens to be in the right place at the right time to become the new Emperor's Most Trusted Advisor on literally every conceivable aspect of running the Empire.

And he's REALLY GOOD AT IT, TOO! It is SO satisfying to watch him succeed at his job despite all odds. And he's not even the protagonist...

Cannot recommend this insane fantasy political intrigue book enough, 10/10 (if you like complex epic fantasy & political intrigue, that is. Which I do).
