“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.

This story returns to the rotating perspective style of Foreign Object.

"They'll leave us alone. For a bit." One year after the Apocalypse-That-Wasn't, Crowley and Aziraphale have settled into a new routine: keeping an eye on supernatural happenings in the world and preventing Heaven or Hell from interfering too much with humanity. It's not a bad job - despite occasional rains of fish - and if there are some unspoken things they really ought to talk about, well, they have all the time in the world now to get around to that, right? At least, until the Archangel Raphael turns up on their doorstep looking for help... and it starts to become clear that the world is changing fast, and so are they. Or: Crowley and Aziraphale start a detective agency. Shenanigans ensue. Slowburn continues. Apparently, there is plot. I have some thoughts about Heaven, Hell, and humanism. There will be stupid jokes and a healthy sprinkling of angst.

Cas never expected to live through Dean's last plan. Now, he's not only alive, he's in the past--before Dean went to Hell, before he made the deal at all. Can a fallen angel and a couple of hunters change the future by altering the past?

Hinata tilts his head ever so slightly, eyes sparking. “Bluffing’s a game, Kageyama, you just need to learn how to play it right.” Kageyama Tobio is a successful defence attorney with everything he needs: a growing career, a steady queue of clients, and a reputation that's going to open doors for him. It's all going well - on paper. Until one day, when a teenage girl arrives at his office begging him to get her brother off the hook for a murder charge, and Kageyama finds himself defending Hinata Shouyou: a poker player with a reputation for being undefeated. It should be just another case. But Kageyama, realising that his life in law is perhaps too lonely, too stale, keeps this one client in his life. Because something about Hinata is addicting, and maybe this is just the gamble that he needs to take. (A lawyer AU; based on the events in the Ace Attorney series.)

Invalided home from Afghanistan, running out of funds and convinced that his surgical career is over, John Watson accepts a mysterious job offer to provide care and companionship for a disabled person. Little does he know how much hangs in the balance of his performance as he settles into his new life at Musgrave Court.

Maybe Sherlock should have guessed that asking John to pretend to tie him to the bed and shag him though the headboard - for a case - wasn't such an intelligent idea. Or, the one in which a femme fatale murder causes Sherlock and John to role-play sex. Repeatedly.

"Sherlock doesn't like it when she gets kidnapped and tied up and knocked about. When she's in danger, a large portion of his magnificent brain eats itself alive with worrying for her, and that process consumes a great deal more energy than converting proteins and carbohydrates into energy." A sequel to "The Skeleton Winter", in which Joanna Watson is still mad as a hatter. Only these days, it's not working for her quite as well as it used to. Genderswap casefic loosely based on the AC Doyle story "A Case of Identity".

"Joanna knows that enlisting as the only recruit in Sherlock's private army isn't going to make her less damaged. But Sherlock puts her damage to good use. Joanna thinks that is by far the best thing that could have happened to her. It may, in fact, be the only thing that could have saved her." A genderswap AU casefic loosely based on AC Doyle's "The Dancing Men".

After contending with one setback too many, Aether is too discouraged to maintain his usual stoic front. The search for his lost sister seems hopeless. He cannot survive it alone. Can his Teyvat friends and allies break through his protective bubble of distant altruism? Will he accept the outreached hand?

It's late summer, and Sherlock is called to investigate a suicide on PC Bob Taylor's doorstep. Problem is, the suicide is actually a murder, and as the bodies begin to pile up, Sherlock spends more and more time with PC Taylor - much to John's dismay. John shakes himself a bit and tries to forget what Lestrade told him. Probably just a mistake, like he said, and besides, they’d never actually had a discussion about being exclusive, though John thought after almost three months of rather regular shagging it was a bit implied. John is hesitant to put a name to it, but he knows there’s more than affection in the twist of his heart when he catches Sherlock’s eye across a room, in the fierce protectiveness with which John defends his life.

The members of the BAU are looking for their partner, but things are grim. They have no suspects. They have no leads. With nothing to go on, how can they have any hope of seeing their friend again?
