"Is it too hard to understand? Since it's a fanfic, we can do things we're not allowed to do in the anime." Sougo glanced to Kagura and smirked. *** A year has passed since the battles of the Final Arc. In this alternate universe, everything has returned to normal... at least by Gintama standards. A Shipping Tournament is underway, where the characters must get into pairs and compete for popularity. A squad of Amanto policemen have arrived on Earth to "cooperate" with the Shinsengumi in eliminating the Joui rebels. And if that isn't enough, a villain from Sougo's past threatens to wipe out the entire city. Gintama* (pronounced Gintama Pointer) makes reference to Gintama as a satirical fanfiction about a satirical anime. From the squabbling romance between Kagura and Sougo, to the tragedy of Hijikata's true love, to Shinpachi's questionable attempts at seducing you the Reader, this is a tale of laughter and tears, starring the characters we all know and love. *** 1st Place Winner of The Anime Awards 2018 hosted by @niriha684106

Treasure Island follows young Jim Hawkins, who finds himself owner of a map to Treasure Island, where the fabled pirate booty is buried; honest Captain Smollett, heroic Dr. Livesey, and the good-hearted but obtuse Squire Trelawney, who help Jim on his quest for the treasure; the frightening Blind Pew, double-dealing Israel Hands, and seemingly mad Ben Gunn, buccaneers of varying shades of menace; and, of course, garrulous, affable, ambiguous Long John Silver, who is one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook . . .and the next a dangerous pirate leader. The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boy’s growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor—and the uncertain meaning of good and evil.

Little Men, or Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys, is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott, first published in 1871.
