Summary
"Panicin' won't do us any good, at any rate," Basilio reasons, and Will watches him- watches himself?- hesitate in stretching out a hand and placing it on his cheek.
It doesn't feel bad, but it is notably different. Years down the line and Will is used to the hot cup of a large rough-skinned palm that spans most of his face without effort- this is smooth, and small, and unobtrusive in its tepidness. It's how it must feel when he does it to Basilio, he supposes, since they are quite literally reversed right now.
Will reaches his own hand out, and sucks in a breath. Puppeteering Basilio's body is like trying to ride a bike after years of not having done so; the general concepts are all the same, broad muscle memory still applies, but it's shaky and uncertain and lacking in precision. He settles 'his'
hand overtop of Basilio's against his face, covering the smaller one entirely. It's jarring, to have his eyes open and see himself.(An accident at the newly rebuilt Mage's Academy switches Will and Basilio. Seeing through the others' eyes comes with it's own moments of fun, but the ramifications have them growing steadily more concerned as the problem fails to go away.)

Summary
Strohl coughs lightly, embarrassed and averting his eyes politely to the corner.
“Er, hello,” he manages. “I'd say ‘I hope I'm not interrupting’, but I see that I very much am. Apologies.”
It feels silly, almost, to grab at the covers pooled by your hip and yank them up over yourself. This isn't the first time Strohl has seen you naked. God willing, it'll be far from the last.

Summary
Fidelio is prodded by his brother to get off the Charadrius for the evening, live a little. It's hardly a novel outing- so why not make it fun by bringing Del's lady friend? For Basilio, it's an excuse to get to know the woman his sibling has been nothing short of taciturn about. It's an opportunity to give Del some shit; it's also an opportunity to give some advice.
Fidelio has already started falling down the slope of realizing this is more than a fling. He's got a lot to atone for, and a lot to come clean on: if he can just pluck up the damn bravery, for even a moment.

Summary
“Four?"
Will fails, utterly, at keeping the dismay out of his voice. Fortunately, he isn't the only one upset at the innkeeper's bored drone of an answer.
“Four rooms, four beds. You lot do realize it's just past the height of the tournament, don'tcha? I've been booked up for weeks. You're lucky I've got anything available right now.”
Will drifts back to where his blood-covered coterie waits, faces pinched and unhappy at the news. The dilemma is pretty cut and dry; they don't have a ton of options here.
They'll just... have to share. For better or for worse.

Summary
(My half of a trade with @Pepsiiii.)
A normal afternoon for Fidelio Magnus and his wife; errands to handle, dinner to prep, really just any number of things to get done. (It's a shame they don't make it that far- they never do.)

But first--

Summary
⚠️ SPOILERS for Multiple Eitos route, ending 010 ⚠️
"Uh-uh. None of that, Takumi." He can almost feel Eito's hands grab on his hips, holding him still. Pushing him down against the mattress, despite his twitchy, shaky attempts to move. He kind of wants to scream, but he doesn't want to give Eito any more satisfaction than he's already giving him. There's still a few scraps of his dignity that he'd like to hang onto. "I know you're an awfully impatient thing, but you can be good and wait."
Something red-hot gnaws deep in his stomach, some horrifying mixture of humiliation and arousal. He feels Eito's laughter more than he hears it, a sense of sadistic glee. God, Takumi thinks as he suppresses a shudder. I hate this guy so much.
Takumi deals with the implications of co-existing in the same body with someone who wants to see you suffer, in many ways.

Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

Summary
Originally, Gaara thought the plan - brought to him by a desperate and shaken Naruto on the last holding place of the world's few remaining shinobi - was both insane and impossible.
No one ever accused Gaara of being sane, nor sensible, so he agreed anyway.
He hadn't really expected it to work.- Language:
