Summary
The Town and the Kin, an Odongh had once whispered, were sewn together wrong. The plague had torn those old connections apart, and it was left to Artemy Burakh to suture the severed halves back together in a better way. Blood could, and would, flow through them as one common body. And it would, and must, start with solidarity.
This, too, could be its own form of utopia.
—
In which Artemy unionises the Termitary workers, organises a strike, and finds a new way to unite the Town.

Summary
Their mouth forms a small 'o', a soft noise escaping them. "Oh. We kidnapped you?"
For several moments, he is at a loss for words. He almost wants to laugh. Such a situation seems utterly beyond the pale. Some figment of a bizarre, fever-induced dream, distant from any known or lived reality. But the fog of his mind and leaden state of his limbs feel far too real to be constrained to any hypnagogic fantasies.
When his snakes gaze upon the blurry lines of this mongrel's face, there is not an iota of shame to be found. It is as though the severity of their words has entirely failed to occur to them.
"Kidnapped." He echoes.
They blink. "Uh. Yeah."
Of all the humiliating possibilities—this?
OR
Rather than take Messmer the Impaler's life, an unwise Tarnished attempts to drag him to the gate of divinity, only to end up stranded alongside their companion and a very angry demigod.

Summary
Jaskier is finally free. After so long trapped in a form not his own he had begun to doubt which was his true self. But here he is, unshackled. The betrayals, violence, abandonment- the destruction his family wrought upon themselves and others, all of it left far behind. Jaskier is determined to enjoy this second chance. To bask in the beauty of life and ignore what horrors linger. Then he meets Geralt and things become complicated.

“They don’t exist.”
“Pardon?” The bard’s brown hair flops as he tilts his head.
Geralt bravely doesn’t sigh again. “The monsters in your songs. They don’t exist.”
For some reason that gets him a grin, “How do you know?”
Geralt stares at him.
“I’m a Witcher.”
The bard laughs, “So just because you’ve never seen them that means they don’t exist?”
“Yes.” Geralt says flatly.
“Agree to disagree.” The man says flippantly, “But I would love to hear more about the monsters you’ve fought.”
“No.” Geralt takes a drink desperately and finds he is almost at the bottom of his tankard. He contemplates whether it’s worth the coin for another. Probably not.

Benji Dunn works as a physical therapist for all kinds of government agents. CIA, FBI, Secret Service— when anyone needs assistance getting their body back in order, they come to him. Periodically, though, a mysterious block appears on his schedule. No name, no medical history, nothing but the characters BE11.
The year is 1996, and Benji meets Ethan Hunt under very different circumstances. And the ripples pull wider and wider as time moves on, until the familiar image becomes something new.
A quick lesson on broken bones: If they heal wrong, you're going to have to break them again.
