Summary
“How did you manage,” asked Geralt, with infinite patience and only a desire to know the facts, and not at all a little meanhearted glee, “to insult a sorcerer while his tongue was down your throat?”
“Don’t make me recount the entire sordid affair, Geralt,” said Jaskier, with a surprising note of desperation breaking through his gruff monotone. “I’m already having a rather shit day and all I’ve done so far is wake up.”
“In my body,” said Geralt.
“Yes,” said Jaskier, with the insolent cadence that was unmistakably Jaskier’s, but in Geralt’s voice, emerging from Geralt’s face and frame.
“And I’ve got yours,” said Geralt, from Jaskier’s.

Summary
A 14.13 Lebanon rewrite. When Dean uses a wish-granting pearl to try and kill the archangel Michael before he can escape the cage in Dean's head, they instead wind up with a newly-resurrected John Winchester.
It's been more than a decade since John died, and a lot has changed: Mary is alive, Sam and Dean have what passes for a proper home in the Men of Letters Bunker, and they're living with angels. John doesn't know angels are real, he doesn't know about the fragile new relationship between Dean and Castiel, and most of all, he doesn't know that Dean said yes to Michael, or that Dean's plan to defeat Michael would send him to a fate worse than death.
Now Dean must contend with both his father asking questions he can't answer, and his loved ones learning about the darker truths of his childhood, all while constantly battling the archangel trapped inside him. But Dean coming to terms with his history may be the difference between this being the beginning of a journey—or the end.

Summary
“How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.
“Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”
“Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”
“No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”
“So…what?” asks Izutsumi.
“Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”
“You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”
Laios smiles.

What do murder, fastidious record keeping, and cars have in common? That's for Revachol's finest to figure out. When Harry discovers a sequence killer has been stalking the streets for nearly a year, he must look outside the 41st for help cracking the case.
This is the second story in the Orange and Green series. If you haven't read the first story in the series, you can find it here. I recommend reading that first, otherwise some things just aren't going to make sense.

Summary
“There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”
“And the other?” Fenris demanded.
“Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”
“Merrill?”
_Hawke was left in the Fade. Fenris goes looking for him. He doesn't go alone.

This is the truth: Hawke has too much power over him and he's scared of running from one master to the next.
And this is the sad, pathetic truth: Fenris is too broken to know how to be what Hawke deserves.

Summary
As a teenager, Kendall sometimes found himself wishing his father would hit him.
In a lot of ways, it would make things simpler. It would be clear-cut. Something solid that he could lean on, something he could point to and say: You see that? That was not okay. He hit me, and it was wrong, because – and I really can’t make this any simpler for you – it’s wrong for a parent to hit their child, under any circumstances, no matter how annoying the child is being or how tolerant the parent has been up until this point. We can all agree on that, right? Right?
--
Kendall has always had an unusual relationship with pain.

Summary
Zuko doesn’t have time to deal with pressure for an arranged marriage, especially since he isn’t even sure he likes women that way. (A realisation that has absolutely nothing to do with Ambassador Sokka - shut up, Suki.) Katara and Aang have broken up again, and the Northern Water Tribe are pushing for a match between the North and South.
Which leads Zuko and Katara to develop a genius, foolproof, only slightly drunken plan: they can pretend to date for the length of Katara’s stay in the palace, giving them both a brief reprieve from political pressures on their love lives.
What could go wrong?

Summary
A simple, silver ring lies in the middle of Kim's palm. And Harry, his heart on his sleeve, staring, boring holes right into the center of Kim's face, reading everything he's feeling.
"So uh," Harry laughs, scratching his head. "Should I get down on one knee now or?"
(Autumn of '60. The world is ending maybe, Revachol is dying definitely, everything is finally going to shit, and Kim and Harry have been alive for a little too long.)

Summary
“Fuck.” Kim leverages his body as a prop for Harry to lean on, letting him brace himself against his shoulder, and darts his eyes down to Harry’s hip almost expecting to see blood pooling out. That’s ridiculous, of course. The wound is more than three months old now, what with his medical leave and Kim’s transfer and everything that has happened in this weird transitional space. It won’t reopen itself. Not after all that time. But it’s clear that it troubles him; something internal, hot and searing. He winces when Kim wraps his fingers around his forearm to stabilise him, too. “Khm. Sorry, was that-”
“No, no, you’re fine. Sorry. I feel like one big bruise today. Skin hurts.”
“You don’t have to apologise for me hurting you.”Kim and Harry head back to Martinaise to investigate the disappearance of a Wild Pines negotiator who appears to have walked of his own volition out into the sea. Harry struggles with his chronic pain in the wake of his gunshot wound. Despite all of this, they continue to silently pine.
