If you're doing it right you'll break their ribs by almostnectarine for Trialia
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Trilogy | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
17 Dec 2020

Summary
"How do you know Nonagesimus has gone somewhere dangerous?" asked Isaac. "Have you wired some kind of alert system?"
"It's, uh. It's on the schedule," said Gideon. "I just... forgot. Because of the bread."
Nobody was convinced by this, least of all Gideon.
"It's a Ninth House thing," Gideon went on, backing away with increasing desperation. This was a slightly more plausible explanation, if only because nobody wanted to look too closely at what fell under the awful skeletal-ribbed and rotting umbrella of Ninth House things. "Gotta go—!" And she was out the door, gone.
But it wasn't a Ninth House thing, except inasmuch as it was happening to the only two representatives of the noble and decrepit Ninth House on this quite literally godforsaken rock. Gideon knew Harrow had gone somewhere dangerous—knew that Harrow was back in the lab where they had only just completed a horrible trial—because she could see it, clear as day: an awful overlay on her vision of that terrible dangerous room and a pair of terrible dangerous hands drawing some kind of ward next to the plinth.
The hands were definitely Harrow's.
This was definitely a problem.

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.

"Why can't I go in the east wing?" asked Ciri.
"It's haunted," said Geralt.
"But you said the lake was haunted, and the tower, and the stables!" said Ciri, pouting. "That can't be your answer to everything."
"It can be if it's true," said Geralt. -

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.

His Delicious Materials by sousverre for C

Summary
Chilchuck erupted from his bedroll in one smooth movement that carried through his body into his hand, almost as if he’d been laying awake the whole time and plotting exactly how he was going to do it; and before Palinode understood anything, he had bounced a boot very hard off her human’s head.
His Dark Materials/Daemon AU.
In a setting where human souls take the form of separate animals, everyone knows that dog-souls are servants or soldiers - and Laios hadn’t wanted to be either.

Summary
The air is cool this high up. A gentle breeze sweeps through the thicket around them, the greens and yellows of ginkgo and maple shifting with the wind. They’re past the peak of summertime, comfortably settling into mid-August, but the sun still bears down something fierce. The girls don’t seem to mind. Nobody’s piped up for water yet, and they’re still brawling, tumbling through the flowers the way only Saiyan children know to.
“Bra’s gettin’ better,” Goku says.
Vegeta leans back, feels the arm around his waist tighten. “She is.”
