I think this was from Analog in the 1980s - there's a human embassy/scientific base on an alien planet: one with an alien civilization almost as advanced as humanity. Relations are peaceful between the humans and aliens, but the aliens feel inferior because a) they are a bit behind the humans in ...

Harry meets the malfoys at gringotts for some reason, I can't remember too much, just this one scene really.The malfoys are veela. Lucius gets upset and swoops first harry then draco into his arms and curls protectively around them with his wings. It takes narcissa talking lucius down to let them...

It started with the female MC being kicked out of her party for sexist reasons and her being angry about adventurers being a male dominated profession. She got angry, went into the wasteland and started smashing things, only to accidentally break the seal of an ancient witch. They join forces and...

I saw this movie in the last 5 years or so, on a streaming service, perhaps Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Stan. It seemed to be an American or perhaps British production, with english dialog.

One's ability to use this implant/device is largely conditioned on how young they were when they received it: older users struggle to do mo...

No, this is not The Chrysalids! Every telepath including the boy's parents eventually goes violentl...

I've long had a vague, recurring memory of a scene from a sci-fi show I watched when I was a kid, probably around 1980 plus or minus a year or two. At the climax of one episode, the main characters' ship is being menaced by a moon, presumably by a weapon based there. The ship has the ability to...

I read this over ten years ago, and looking back I think it might have been a metaphor for the economy. Details are a very hazy! Possibly because it’s too cold outside, everyone is under ground. I think there may be food domes that require risky cleaning. There used to be other bunkers, but conta...
