Summary
"We're not in my hallow, Liam. I'm not about to manipulate you or the situation into giving me something you don't want to give. That would break the rules of our wager, wouldn't it?" Niles was still smiling at him, and now it contained no smug curl or challenge. "After all, I'm Niles right now, remember? I am, in your own words, a plain old human who sat down for an evening of family-friendly splatter films."
Well... when he put it like that...
--
Lee wins the first match against Diegesis. After a long night of subjecting him to mediocre films and games, he wakes up in a God's arms, considers the dangers of having sex with a God, and basically thinks, "fuck it. why the hell not."

Forced Relaxation isn't Ideal by CicadaBuzz, ctrl_freaks for alexisroyce

Summary
It's hard to rest when trapped in a life-or-death competition with a god, Lee's come to find out.
It's been a few days since he's showered, or slept, or even had a proper meal, and that deprivation has started to take its toll.
Of course, Diegesis couldn't have that. What good is a story if the protagonist was about to pass out the whole time? So, the Ideal resolves to make Lee relax—whether he wants to or not.

Summary
The spell seemed to break the Narrator out of his silence, though. “There it is again. The coughing. Totally unnatural in this setting, Stanley. There’s not even enough dust to irritate the average human lung – I needn’t check, I just know. Stanley, you can’t actually be...” Stanley heard a great deal of shuffling, like gathering papers and flipping through them furiously. The Narrator sounded odd. His voice was cresting near something, but Stanley couldn’t focus on it long enough to understand what.
“Sick? You can’t be sick, Stanley. It’s not possible. You can’t eat. You-you can’t excrete. You can’t get tired. This is how it’s been – how it’s always been.”
--
The Narrator and Stanley have a row. Emotions are high. Perhaps someone dies in the shuffle, but it's not as though that matters. That's the purpose of resets, after all. They erase all damage ever made.
Until they don't.
Stanley gets sick. This is not something the Narrator is equipped to handle.

Summary
It goes like this:
Stanley is an average borrower. He lives in the walls of an apartment building with the rest of his colony. They take what they need from the apartment’s residents while remaining hidden.
Stanley is good at his job. He’s very clever. Stanley is so clever, that he often acts before thinking and relies on his smarts to get him out of whatever situation he gets himself into.
This method has always worked for him. Not once has he ever been caught or even seen.
But, there’s a first time for everything, Stanley.
~~~
It goes like this:
The Narrator is a “retired” animal behavioral scientist. His career ended several years ago when he was terminated from his position at a prestigious lab.
Now, he lives alone in an average sized house in the country, away from the activity and noise of the city, away from judgemental stares and whispered words behind his back.
He is safe here. He doesn’t have to worry about what anyone thinks. He is quite comfortable staying right where he is - thank you very much.
A dear friend even stops by to drop off groceries for him once a week.
One week, he receives an unexpected item amongst his delivery.
