Summary
The damn wizards couldn’t wiz fast enough, if you asked him. Whatever Vetinari thought, having a bunch of twelve aliens, some of whom were on mental par with Foul Ole Ron and his buddies, running around the city was making Vimes’ life more difficult than it really strictly needed to be. Today’s clusterfracas was just one aspect of the situation.
For one thing, he’d heard that Mr. Nutt was making overtures toward the biggest of the...what, visitors? Aliens? Alternians would have to do...to join the University’s football team. Vimes was pretty sure that would void about a hundred different University traditions and possibly cause people to turn into things, except of course Nutt himself was an orc, but that was different, at least he was one of their monsters instead of a monster from some other universe. Even if they could invent a football Zahhak could kick without disintegrating it.

Summary
Narrative causality is one of the most powerful forces governing reality on the Disc. The others are gravity, the strong and weak thaumic forces, and whichever of the Fate/Lady duo is currently on top; all of these are trumped by the sheer force of narrative causality swinging into play when a situation arises that invokes it with sufficient clarity. Murphy’s Law dictates that anything which can go wrong will go wrong, but on the Disc this is rewritten to state “anything which can go wrong in such a way as to fulfill the dictates of narrative convention is absolutely guaranteed to do so and, if prevented from going wrong, creates a paradox loop in the fabric of reality which will inevitably destabilize matters to the point of forcing the original thing to go wrong anyway, so you might as well just run with it.”

Summary
'When Vimes gets around to where the alley opens back up onto the street, it’s a little like hitting the top of a flight of stairs and expecting there to be another step. Neither the horned madman or the thieves are visible. A bit of garbage skitters across the space in a breeze, as if to emphasize the emptiness. Something coils in his guts as he slows and begins following the main artery back. What he finds stops him cold.'
Whoops, I accidentally crossovered again. Apparently took BramblePatch's GH out for a spin, too.

Summary
Once upon a time, the Auditors committed the ultimate arrogance and created life. But the Auditor inside 'Lady Myria LeJean' soon discovered that the flesh shapes the mind as the mind controls the flesh, and learned why living is so hard to set aside.
This story takes place both during and after Terry Pratchett's novel Thief of Time. The first five chapters are an expansion on the secondary character of Myria LeJean with some retelling from her point of view of scenes that originally appeared in that novel. As such, this story will contain some spoilers if you have not yet read ToT.

Three occurrences in Vimes' life where he could have died, but came out of it alive, drawing both from the period of time we don't get to see pre-Guards! Guards! and the space between books. Written for a plurk meme (for the predictable prompt of 'three ways he didn't die').
