"Jack" by China Miéville - This story relates the end of Jack Half-A-Prayer, the greatest bandit New Crobuzon's ever seen and what happened to the snitch who sold him out. The authorities deal with troublemakers by a kind of bioengineering called Remaking which replaces their limbs. This is what Jack's admirers did to the snitch when they got hold of him: "It was a basic Remaking. We took that little traitor's legs and put engines in their place, but I made sure to do a little extra. Reshaped a suckered filament from some fish-thing's carcass, put it in place of his tongue. It'll fight him. Can't kill him, but his tongue'll hate him till the day he's gone. That was my present to Jack."
"The Neglected Garden" by Kathe Koja - The protagonist is flummoxed about how to handle Anne who has crucified herself to the backyard fence.
