Summary
He pushed himself up with his hands, blinked his eyes open, then immediately had to close them again and squint through the tiny slits they had become.
No sooner had he done that than his chest began to move in and out suddenly. Breathing. You knew about this one. He was doing it very quickly, in a way that couldn’t be good for him. His eyes kept trying to go wide, but you were so bright and so all-consuming that he had to close them again every time, even though the absolute terror in him kept the cycle perpetuating. He was making a sound you associated more with dying animals than with humans, who when they were dying felt that they needed to preserve their dignity, which was baffling, as they weren’t likely to have any since most of them voided their bowels shortly after death.
”No,” he was murmuring, in a tortured-sounding way. “No, no, no.”

When John Murphy died, he brought something back with him.

Summary
He was pressing so hard against the spider silk that you could see his skin was turning white — whiter than it was already, anyway — with the force of it.
“Doesn’t matter what you were going to do,” he growled at you. “It’s not your fucking situation to go poking your nose into. We’re not hurting anyone.”
Not yet, you knew your superiors would say. You knew it so surely that you could almost hear it from behind you. You wouldn’t have been surprised to turn around and find they had secretly accompanied you. You said, instead, “You’re dangerous. You’re a liability. If you wanted, you could hurt a lot of people.”
The mandrake Volo, inside of which the god Giratina sleeps, is a danger to the public. That’s why you’ve been tasked with bringing him in.
Or at least that’s what you were told.

That is, until he comes across Tyreen. Alive. Impossibly. And she's ... afraid of him? Running away from him?
What the hell is going on?

Summary
Volo has a mostly happy life among his tribe, the Celestica... aside from the fact that their supposed god, Arceus, has not spoken to them in centuries, and has largely left them to suffer the tragedies against their people alone.
One night, Volo finds a fallen angel named Giratina, another being neglected by Arceus, who tells him they've been waiting for him forever.

Summary
It’s fun only the first few times it happens. Actually, scratch that, it starts getting old the second time she wakes up and finds herself god knows where at the bottom of the ocean.
Lilith inhales in surprise, which is all in all not her smartest move, and then proceeds to swim upwards as fast as she can. When she comes up she coughs so loud and so violently she’s sure she’s going to open her eyes to see her spleen and half of her other organs floating next to her. What she sees instead is water in all cardinal directions.
She clicks her tongue, “right,” she says, her voice raspy from the coughing, “isn’t this just the fucking pits.”
***
Lilith wakes up on Pandora after saving it and finds herself stuck on it through Siren shenanigans with the last person she would want to see again.
Set after the end of the main campaign in BL3; Spoilers all.
