Summary
A quiet rustle behind him was all the notice he got before something very heavy and hot thudded onto his back.
Gale froze even as his mind caught up (muscles, a brush of keratin on his neck, the smallest whiff of sulfur) to the fact that their resident tiefling (did Wyll count? An issue for another time) had just draped herself across him.
There were a few moments of still silence before Karlach stiffened as well and began pulling back.
“Sorry, soldier. You just— well. You seemed a bit sad, and I’m kind of new to this whole touching people thing, or not new per se, I had a life of course,” a nervous laugh, “but well, relearning, I suppose.”
or, Gale has a bad day and gets a hug about it.

Summary
He’s a ghost, a myth, with only the bodies left behind to confirm he’d been real at all. He’s essentially Korea’s own Jack-the-Ripper; unproven and uncaught.
Seong Gi-hun is the only one who's ever seen him and survived.

Summary
Inspired by the story Astarion tells the player, about Cazador locking him in a tomb for a year after failing to kill a man, and that famous quote from The Last Unicorn:
"No, it can't be. Can it be? Where have you been? Where have you been? Damn you! Where have you been? And where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those innocent young maidens you always come to? How dare you! How dare you come to me now, when I am this!"
What if Tav was that young man he failed to kill? What if they got there in time? What if they came to Astarion then?

Summary
“Your vengeance had to be all the way across the ocean,” he complains. “Stupid.”
He’s squeezing his eyes shut, probably fighting back the same churning of his stomach she is. It’s almost endearing, if Taigen was a man capable of being anything other than annoying.
“I didn’t ask you to come.”
“We had a deal.”
“I take it back. You’re not honorable. You’re an idiot—”
He scoffs. “I’m not the one on some boat to London to kill some—” Her eyes flare at him, and he catches the silent accusation: aren’t you? “You know what I mean! I’m only here because you are. You are the idiot that got us both on a boat."

Summary
“Who are you?” The man croaked.
For a brief moment, Tim felt a weird wave of static in the words before it disappeared. “Name’s Tim. I’m here to get you out I guess.” A rescue mission hadn’t been on his itinerary for the day but he couldn’t just leave the poor guy here all alone.

Summary
“I DONT HAVE ANYTHING VALUABLE BEYOND MY LOOKS, PLEASE CALMLY EXIT MY FLAT, WITH HASTE, AND WE CAN PUT THIS BEHIND US,” he yelled, ripping open the bathroom door, only to be met with an even louder shriek.
A familiar shriek.
Christ.
“And the prodigal fugitive returns, find anything incriminating in my loo, or is breaking and entering just, light fun, after murder?” Tim asked, leaning so that his body blocked the only exit.
- Canon Divergence in which Tim comes back from Malaysia early, to find his boss, and suspected criminal, mildly wounded in his flat.

Featuring disabilities both visible and invisible, the many different forms of magic and love, and the mortifying (but necessary) ordeal of being known.

Summary
Jon opens the door.
Jon closes his eyes.
And he weeps.
(Martin ends just as the world does, his body crumbling under the violent, crying Eye splitting the sky open. The knife in his hand has fallen to the ground, red blood mixing with black ink. The web carved on the blade isn’t visible anymore.
He has no hands, no arms, no mouth, no heart, but he knows he holds Jon against him until the end, whispering Love in his ear as they cry.)
(Sasha looks up from the Institute's lobby, Tim gasping as their eyes lock onto the first floor's balcony just outside Elias Bouchard's office. And Jon looks back at them.
His nose is bleeding and his eyes are feral when he walks down with a calm smile. Sasha doesn’t outright notice the scars littering his skin, scars that were absent only an hour ago, as she gapes back at Tim who seems one second away from fainting.)

I Left My Body (and I went on a journey) by TrickWantsTreats

Summary
What if Zolf, Wilde, and Cel also swapped bodies in episode 168? What if the only NPCs there were Wilde, Barnes, Carter, and Earhart?
In which everyone learns more about themselves and their friends than they were really prepared for.
This is incredibly self indulgent, but I love bodyswap episodes very much and wanted to explore more of the effects and dynamics it would produce among these characters. Title from 'I Left My Body' by They Might Be Giants because I couldn't think of anything else.

Summary
A kick to his back sent him sprawling to the floor again. Bastards must have been standing there the whole time. His chin hit the stone painfully and he tasted blood. Ishak’s sobbing broke out anew, and Zolf heard grunts and scuffles as Emeka and Vesseek tried to fight. Someone’s head hit the floor–-he guessed it was Vesseek-–with a thud that made Zolf tremble with rage and fear.
“Shut up.” It was the voice that had taken him in Prague. Zolf could feel the deep coldness in his bones. He was jerked upright by the back of his shirt. “Be still. Act your part.”
“What bloody part might that be?” For all the times Zolf had needed to say something and couldn’t, there were times like this when he couldn’t shut up to save his life. He choked and gasped as the owner of the voice kicked him in the sternum.
“Bait.”As the party destroys Tesla’s factory in Damascus, they are interrupted by a mysterious Sending. Their loved ones have been kidnapped for leverage.
Hamid’s brother Ishak.
Azu’s brother Emeka.
A goblin who for some reason Grizzop has never talked about.
And one of the only people in the world Sasha Racket trusts.Bookmarked by DearMissFantasy

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

But sometimes your boyfriend looks *really* excited when he suggests it, and I mean, you know literally everything. It can't be that bad, right? Right?

No getting around it: Danny Stoker was a strange guy. Friendly, no question. Handsome. Plenty charismatic. Weird as hell. Among Reese Alexander’s 6PM Thursday adult dance class, each member held no more than a single piece of a very unusual puzzle.
Strange or not, he was one of them now. They looked after their own.

Summary
He fell into a deep bow, smiling the whole while. “I’m the ringmaster, of course.”
“Is that skin— Is it yours?” Old wood groaned as the Archivist shifted his weight. “Originally.”
“It is!” the ringmaster said as he swooped back upright. “Nikola decided I wore it well, so she let me keep it. Why do you ask?”
The Archivist gave him another once-over. “You just… you look familiar. Like someone I know.”
On relearning, reconnecting, and redefining.

Summary
Something is brewing. A great storm that could shatter life as its known. More and more often, androids are breaking free of their original programming. More and more often, androids are turning against their owners in increasingly violent ways.
And the only ones that can stop it are Wilbur Soot—the youngest lieutenant in police history and now a drunk, washed out detective—and an android of the 1NN1T model named Tommy, an advanced prototype created to solve crimes and catch rogue androids. But first they actually have to get along.
Or,
Two idiots, a robot and a depressed detective, walk into a bar. One comes out experiencing emotions he shouldn't be able to, and the other comes out with a reason to live.
Spoilers for Detroit: Become Human, but knowledge of the game isn't necessary to enjoy.
