Okay guys, I want to know what Fate-Locked Content is the best. List all of them that you've done, and rate it 1-10. Oh, and if it helps, here are mine:
Soul Trade: 8
Flint: 9
Five Minutes To Midday: 7
The Gift: 9
Become Jack: 7

If we're counting exceptional stories, then Waltz That Moved the World and The Frequently Deceased are definitely a 10.
I wouldn't say they're great value for money, but I really enjoyed all the Incarnadine Robe content.
Rubbery Murders and becoming Jack were probably the only fate locked content that really dissapointed me.
Edit: On the other hand, the fate-locked conclusion to the Jack story was badass.

I suppose I was expecting something more "consequential". I certainly hoped I'd at least get some lore hint as to what allowed me to stop being Jack, while anyone else is [spoiler]possessed permanently[/spoiler]

Can't have two spoiler tags in one post, unfortunately. Even if it's in quotes.
And yes, there was that one other gentleman, and I was hoping I could find out what it was he and I had in common that allowed us to safely return to ourselves. Maybe inform the constables so they could save others, that sort of thing.

If it were quite as simple as that though, wouldn't the case have unraveled quite some time ago? I'd suspect the constables generally disarm people as they arrest them.

Well, some have mental backlash. Being jack means you kill people and like it, and not everyone stops liking it when they turn back. Many convince themselves that they want to do that, that they love doing it. Jack's no longer playing puppet with them, but if you use something alive as a puppet long enough, eventually it moves like that without you pulling the strings.

Said events are mostly just the events for the two disparate endings tweaked to merge together. They're not really all that unique, so I wouldn't really recommend anyone spend Fate on that if they have other Fate-locked stories yet to play.

I had also imagined that it took a little while to wear off, and that someone like Jack, once caught, would be hanged within hours. Especially if the Special Constables got involved.

Yes.
[spoiler] It's not an end. You can return to the palace cellars and take another option.[/spoiler]
Worth it for the lore, though.

Yes, that is the Gift. And it really is quite good.
Personally, I enjoyed most of Fate locked content quite a lot. The lore is usually worth it for me, with the Rubbery Murders being the one exception.
From the practical standpoint, Jenny's Finishing School was one of the most useful fate-locked stories because it unlocks a repeatable carousel in a different area, thus allowing you to refresh your cards for some 12-15 actions.
Soul Trade is also very nice and gives you a good card for grinding come connections/favours.
Incidentally, this may be a useful guide for you:
