Summary
A Roleswap AU. HK800 is a unique investigative android, and one of the oldest recorded deviants, almost indistinguishable from a human in his behaviours and attitudes. As the deviancy crisis sweeps the streets of Detroit, he is loaned out to the DPD, and assigned to a partner - the most robotic human he's ever met.
Struggling to get along at first, they learn to coexist, to cooperate, and, eventually, to fill the void in each other's lives.

Summary
“I’ll tell dad!”
And the glee plastered on his older brother's face flickered and died in an instant. The hands grasping his shoulders went still and the bob in his throat became visible for a heartbeat moment, though despite Evan’s thrashing and continued fighting he did not remove the top of his skull from the metal teeth.
“You won't,” Michael said after a second of stunned silence, dropping the accent he had faked for most of school. His friends cast confused looks his way, but he ignored them. “If I take you out of here, you won’t tell father,” it was not a question, it was a statement. Hurriedly, Evan nodded. “Come on guys, put him down,”

or, the crying child lives, and somehow this doesn't change much.

Summary
“That’s… This can’t be real, right?” Yuji’s prior confidence had left him. “And even if it was, it’s never that easy. Knowing my shitty luck, I’ll just end up making it worse. We shouldn’t screw around here unless we have to.”
“While there is wisdom to be had in your caution, don’t paint yourself in such a negative light.” Choso wondered if Sukuna was to blame for the sudden shift in his attitude. The curse had been silent since Yuji had reclaimed his control over his body, but that was only from the perspective of an outside observer. There was no telling what Sukuna was up to while hidden in a place Choso’s ears couldn’t reach.
“Not even if it’s true?”
♦ Yuji and Choso separated from the rest of their makeshift team while on their way to meet Master Tengen, find themselves displaced eleven years in the past. How this came to be is uncertain, but with the opportunity to prevent the disasters of their time from ever transpiring at their fingertips, how can they sit idly by and wait for the world to catch up to the grim reality they left behind?

Summary
Patterns had been a part of Bobby's life for as long as he could remember.
Small spiral marks on his left shoulder, coloring similar to the bruises he got playing with other kids.
They weren't large or painful, and most kids at school thought they looked cool, so he didn't think about them. If he didn't want to answer questions about them, he wore a shirt with sleeves. It was that simple.
It wasn't until another kid made fun of his patterns - calling them "girly" for their coloration - and he felt them itch and grow under his gaze that his mother sat him down and told Bobby about his father.

Summary
"How many times is this?" Wild asks, giving him a small smile as a greeting.
Time sighs. "The last one."
"And how many times have you said that to me?"
It’s said matter-of-factly, not overconfidently, and Time hates that Wild knows that it’s not his first, second or even third reset.
And to think all Time's current problems would be solved if Wild just got out of his way.
A.K.A. Unstoppable force meets immovable object.
Or the Sans boss fight but the only stake is Time's sanity. And maybe his life. But mostly his sanity.- Language:

Exploration of the concept of Skills in Disco Elysium. Will swing wildly between angst and a more humorous tone.
Technically both works can be read on their own, but I would really suggest you read both in order.Also, keep in mind english is not my first language - doing my best.
