Summary
Call yourselves heroes when you come if you want to, I can’t judge, I’m the same as you. Western, white, and ignorant. A million miles away in Vietnam is not the problem of most of us American animals fighting in the rat race. There’s something about The Jungle that’ll chew you up and shit you out. Most people prefer to step over the shit instead of bathe in it.
But see, I’ve seen the Jungle. So, I’ll speak for your animals in a voice you’ll listen to.
-Griffin CallenreeseA year after Max Callenreese-Glenreed publishes All the Poets I’ve Loved Before: the works of Griffin Callenreese—an anti-war anthology about Vietnam, Eiji Okumura debuts a exhibition based off the primary poem in the novel: I've Seen The Jungle.
Meanwhile, in the Caribbean, Ash finds himself enjoying warm beaches and drinking daily. He can’t bring himself to read Max’s… or Griffin’s… Book. He’s left his life in The Jungle behind. But when he sees the flyer for To all the people I've loved before: My memories of The Jungle, he wonders if fleeing the “war” was the right choice.

Summary
Foggy remembers Matt Murdock from his childhood: the little martyr who went blind saving a stranger from certain death.
Matt remembers people like Foggy. All the people in Hell's Kitchen who used his story as some sort of fairy tale and never cared when Matt disappeared from the city – kidnapped by Stick's bogus little "Chaste." When Stick leaves, and Matt finds himself alone in Hell’s Kitchen again, he does his best to ride the wave of his heroism in order to get the one thing that his mentor could never provide:
Love. Though to Matt? Pity might as well be the same thing.

Summary
Matt sniffled, trying to hide it with a chuckle. “I think you’re the first friend I’ve ever had. And the best best-friend anybody could ever ask for. My avocado buddy.”
“Matt.”
“I think it’s divine intervention, maybe, that my phone called you. I didn’t know how much I wanted to hear your voice one last time.”
What's the point in suffering during this life if God doesn't have a greater plan for you? In the eyes of Matt Murdock, there isn't one. In the final moments of his life, thanks to his phone's accessibility options, his choice of hotel, and a chain of other unnaturally positive coincidences, Matt finds that perhaps God's timing truly is above what he can comprehend.

"Even God smiles upon Ash Lynx." by Phantom_Star_44

Summary
“I used to think I was jealous of you. Jealous of you for having someone like Okumura. Well, I’m not anymore. I hated him for it, since he was the only thing separating you and me from being the exact same: worthless sex dolls who’s only purpose is to serve others. But I’ve lived your life, and you have fucking everything! Everyone! All the love that anyone could ever want right at your fingertips!”
So, Yut-Lung Lee and Ash Lynx switch bodies. Neither of them quite know how to feel.
Or; a Banana Fish Body Swap fic because we just don't have enough of them.

I don't think I'll ever come out. by Phantom_Star_44 for softrestart (depriviolent)

Summary
“I like kissing this and that of you…” Akira breathed heavily against Akechi’s skin. It makes his skin crawl as much as he refuses to feel it. Akira does not kiss his neck so much as he kisses her neck. The Princess would, should, feel pampered.
Akechi rolled his eyes. “Is this your new idea of flirting? Poetry?”
“I like my body when it’s with your.” A stupid title, Akechi thinks. A stupid feeling. “Body” is left for the next stanza.
“Do you… Do you like your body?”
Akechi's trans. Nobody needs to know. He'll be the Detective Princess, it doesn't matter how much the Phantom Thieves try to crack his "egg." He knows who he is, he's always known who he is. It'll never matter. He'll never be himself. He'll never come out.

Summary
ISO: Carer to look after my father for 8 weeks this summer.
Dad is 71, early stage Parkinson’s disease, broke his hip 6 weeks ago. No signs of cognitive decline; mostly needs help with household tasks (cooking, light cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping), getting dressed, showering, changing cat litter/general cat care, getting to and from appointments.
Please know what you are getting into; Dad is physically more or less in good health but awful at accepting his limitations, unnecessarily mean, generally uncooperative, and largely nocturnal. Imagine yourself caring for a feral raccoon that is convinced it’s going to write another book, then subtract everything that is cute about raccoons.
$20/hour, roughly 4 hours a day. Must be able to pass a background check and lift 50 lbs. Patience of a saint not required but preferred.- Language:

Summary
‘He’s a desirable young man, our Rashid,’ Louis said with surprising earnesty. ‘Nobody blames you for looking and wanting, but I would ask you to kindly stop distracting him from his duties. Perhaps, if you were to lay off, he would be more inclined to indulge other kinds of attention.’
Daniel had to swallow the laugh of disbelief that threatened to escape. ‘Are you telling me to woo and fuck the help?’ Would he like to? Yes. Was he going to? Absolutely not.As the power imbalances become clearer, Daniel struggles with finding a healthy outlet for his emotions, and resolves to put somebody else's needs above his own for once.

Summary
“No more doctor’s appointments,” he says to Armand, who’s perched in one of Daniel’s squashy armchairs, scrolling listlessly on his iPad. “But maybe we should book you in with one. When’s the last time you had a prostate exam?”
“Ha,” says Armand, without looking up. “Why, are you offering?”
Or: when Daniel gets turned into a vampire, Armand gets turned back into a human. It’s not going well.

Summary
"Foggy closed his eyes, and, with more feeling this time, opened them again. Same result.
The world refused to appear. It was simply... blackness. Nothingness? Not even the dream knew where it was going, apparently. The dream, that he was definitely in, because whatever was happening, definitely wasn't."
Matt and Foggy wake up in the wrong beds -- and the wrong bodies -- after startlingly normal night out.
