I forget to breathe (when i'm with you)

i forget to breathe (when i'm with you) is a BTS fanfic by locks. It is a Sugar Daddy AU and College AU. The main pairing is Taekook. 
On the Archive of Our Own, it is the ninth most popular BTS fanwork by hit count. As of February 2021, the work has over 503,000 hits, 19,000 kudos, 1,800 comments, and 6,200 bookmarks.
==Synopsis==
Summary: "Do we have a deal, angel," Taehyung repeats, and Jeongguk can hear that he's losing his patience, hands resting on his hips.
Jeongguk lifts his head, snapping the lid closed. "Pleasure doing business with you, daddy," he nods, sending a grin up to Taehyung who just narrows his eyes at him.
"You're lucky I like you," Taehyung mutters, sounding mildly threatening as he steps over to him and tilts Jeongguk's chin up, leaning down to press a kiss against his lips.
Lucky doesn't even come close.
Or, Jeongguk's trying to figure out how he ended up with a sugar daddy when all he wanted was a couple packets of instant noodles.

I have been unable to determine whether or not the Council wishes to adopt Lichtenberg's philosophy as pertains to Vulcans as it is.

I have been unable to determine whether or not the Council wishes to adopt Lichtenberg's philosophy as pertains to Vulcans as it is. is a 1975 essay by Carmen Dexter.
It was printed in Mind-Meld v.2 n.5.
==Context: The Kraith Focus in Early Issues of "Mind-Meld"==
 
The topic of Kraith was the focus during the first year's Mind-Meld issues, and that universe's creator, Jacqueline Lichtenberg, was a member and frequent contributor. 
That is, until a flurry of fan responses likely deflated her enthusiasm, and Lichtenberg encouraged fans to move on from emulating Kraith, at least in this fan club and its publication. From her last contribution to "Mind-Meld": "SEV should adopt some NEW ideals, not Kraith Vulcan ideals," thus withdrawing her attention and support.
Some of Lichtenberg's contributions and fan comments in early issues of "Mind-Meld":
* Lichtenberg's comments in v.2 n.1, March 1975 which was a response to the editor's comments in v.1 n.2, October 1974 
* Why a Human Should Not Desire to Become Vulcan by Lichtenberg (dated February 1974, printed April 1975)
* I have been unable to determine whether or not the Council wishes to adopt Lichtenberg's philosophy as pertains to Vulcans as it is. by Carmen Dexter (v.2 n.5, August 1975). Dexter's letter also addressed Lichtenberg's controversial author's preface to Kraith Collected #1
* I think that it is important for Jacqueline Lichtenberg, as the creator of the series, to hear from those who are KRAITH fans, who enjoy the works, but can still see their faults. by Amy Falkowitz (v.2 n.7, October 1975)
* Darkover and Kraith by Amy Falkowitz (v.2 n.7, October 1975)
* I WISH I could figure out some way to make people understand that I do not hold Kraith to be some sort of ultimate truth. by Licthenberg (her final comment) (v.2 n.8, December 1975)
Lichtenberg's last contribution to this newsletter was in December 1975. She, however, remained on the membership roster until at least March 1979.
==In Response To==
Dexter's letter lightly addressed Lichtenberg's 1974 letter, Why a Human Should Not Desire to Become Vulcan.
But the main focus of Dexter's letter was Lichtenberg's controversial author's preface to Kraith Collected #1: 
The comments by Lichtenberg to which Dexter was addressing: 
==Some Topics Discussed in Dexter's Essay==
* the Kraith universe
* the difference between suppression and repression of emotions
* Lichtenberg's story, Surak's Construct
* Dexter states that Lichtenberg's theorys about emotion and Vulcans are not workable
* Dexter challenges Lichtenberg's authority in defining and defending her view of Vulcans in Kraith, and asks for their to be an open exchange of ideas in Mind-Meld and Kroykah (the two zines published by Society for Earthbound Vulcans)
