Summary
You are ZB-856, or Vi, to those who care about that. You are on guard duty, against your current forcible leave. You are one of the many of the Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Colony with little to no memory of your former life.
Though the occasional flickers of emotion sparked by stray memories of life-before-death can be annoying, it doesn't significantly impact your life most of the time, so you ignore it. It isn't supposed to be this familiar. It isn't supposed to be this strong.Your name is Jay. This is not your sister.

Summary
Nerris doesn't need anyone, not really. He talks to Gale, he loves Gale; and Jaheira at least seems to tolerate him, and that’s that. Not like any of their merry band of weirdos seems to want to be friends with him anyway. But it matters not. Nerris was born under a killing moon and everyone is right to keep their difference. At least he has Gale.
Except then Gortash happens. And “I rather think you've done enough” sounds awfully like I'd rather you just leave me alone and suddenly it seems like he has no one at all.
In a desperate attempt to regain favour, the Dark Urge Nerris puts himself under increasing strain and suffers for it. Despite his assumptions, everyone cares for him anyway.
(in which the author explores the fact that there are some very visceral reactions to Durge’s past at the coronation and seemingly no follow-up conversations at all?)Bookmarked by MantisGod

Oh this is some DELIGHTFUL whump. Heavily enjoying this, character dynamics, altered states of mind, and everything else. A fic after our own heart! Sincerely hoping that this gets its third chapter, because this is DELICIOUS.

Summary
Karlach squatted down next to Gale.
"Hey," she said. "I've got a...what's it. Like a guess, but fancy?"
"Do you perhaps mean a theory?" Gale asked.
"That's it," Karlach said. "I wanna test a theory."
"I'm always interested in experimentation." Gale gestured invitingly. "Please, go ahead."

Very neat fic! Deeply enjoy the speculation on Tiefling biology in here, there's some solid worldbuilding going into this and it makes it very fun to read.

Bookmarker's Notes
An absolutely beautiful bouquet of systemic fuckery and interpersonal issues and justification and making up selfish reasons for unselfish things and musing on what makes a good person. We are feasting well and we ABSOLUTELY recommend this to anyone interested in systemic whump,

Summary
I think, therefore, I am.
When your thoughts, never mind your body, aren’t your own, can you be sure you truly still exist?
Two friends picked a very bad year to attend a convention dressed as bugs. Now they must wrestle with that question, while dealing with the struggles of being insects in a giant’s world.

Bees. Can't go wrong with bee facts. Not a masterpiece, but good if you're looking for bees.
