Summary
From the other side of the phone, he heard Frank jerking upward, his crisp bedsheets rustling, and rubbing his hand roughly over his sleepy face. Oh, he could fucking picture him. Shirtless, relaxed, content. Still warm from the night, his face crisscrossed with the delicious crumples left by a real pillow. Again, Billy's cock twitched in his Armani jeans – the perks of having participated in two Middle East tours. Now he could afford to waste fucking Armani clothes to laze around his house.
"Something wrong, Bill?"
Concern. Billy felt it oozing from the speaker, bleeding into his ear and eliciting an immediate serotonin response that kicked his already frenzied heartbeat into overdrive. He flashed a look towards the angry red mark on his hand. With some luck, the scarring would turn out minimal and in case he ran out of luck...well. Women and men alike were easily charmed by a war veteran with a marred hand. As long as his face remained beautiful and his looks impeccable, he was sure he would have had no problems in finding some willing company for the night.
"Ah...uh...not exactly wrong but – let's say a situation."Series

Summary
Neil calls.
Bee calls.
His coach calls.
Only two out of three calls get an answer. Neil sounds pretty adamant in stating he’ll be there soon with a change of clothes and fresh coffee, and Andrew is too tired to put up a fight. Bee, strangely awake before eight, offers to come over but doesn’t push him when Andrew tells her he’ll be fine, that he just needed to hear her “for grounding purposes”. As usual, she doesn’t ask many questions, she just provides a friendly ear, says something that makes Andrew’s heart grow three times bigger and hangs up with the promise of checking up in a couple of hours. A nurse walks in, at some point, spots Andrew resting his chin on Aaron’s pillow, waltzes around monitors, IVs, adjusts some needles and then she walks out, only to turn back on her heels at the very last second with a puzzled look on her all too tired face and her brows slightly furrowed atop of her nose.
“Twins,” Andrew says just to dissipate her questions on the existence of a multiverse.Aaron gets involved in a car crash. His exy superstar slash nearly estranged twin brother is his emergency contact. Can a thirty hours long bedside vigil make up for years of neglected therapy sessions?

Summary
Hear ye, hear ye. Bleeding out isn’t fun!
Nikolai would definitely laugh at his own inward joke if he wasn’t sure he would spit blood afterwards and, to add insult to injury, his mouth is already overflowing with blood, but if he spits it…well. It just keeps coming and coming. It trickles down the corner of his mouth in a thick rivulet that tickles his sensitive skin; the other half of his face is going numb and, for a moment, Nikolai has thought he was seeing a bear crouched in the bushes. No one has ever had the grace to explain to him the signs and symptoms of massive blood loss, but he’s smart enough to fit the pieces of the puzzle together nonetheless. His brain, deprived of the oxygen it needs to function, is making him see things. Plain and simple.Series

Summary
“Help me? Please? You’ve already practiced slowing heartbeats. If you don’t want to do it, I’ll ask Petra to come over and you will...supervise. Please?”
Fedyor doesn’t know why his stomach twists and churns with sheer jealousy when Ivan carelessly drops that he could manipulate Petra’s heartbeat instead of his. It doesn’t make any sense but, at the same time, it does, and tremendously clearly moreover. He draws in a sharp breath, his head almost spinning.
Oh, Fedyor. What the fuck are you doing?
“Silly,” he replies, trying to sound casual. “Practicing is prohibited and Petra is the biggest gossip of the Etherealki. You sure you want to find out what they do to those who dare break the rules, Vanyusha? Maybe you’ll get sent to Tsibeya straight away, and Petra too. Better not to risk it, hu?”Fedyor helps Ivan getting ahead of his training program. Things don't go quite as planned, and he gets a transitory arrhythmia and a kiss in return. Oh, as if it was a bad bargain!

Summary
Sometimes, Lambert just wishes he had Eskel’s gift to always know what to do. Always. Or Geralt’s creative problem solving skills. Sadly, he is just Lambert, spite incarnate with a good pinch of salt and so much rage that if unleashed would burn the whole Continent down, and a stagnation of murky water in someone’s lungs isn’t something he can fix with anger or violence. If only it was that simple. Fuck.
Another fit of cough makes Aiden bend over the saddle and spit down a trickle of greenish water. It reeks of fish, drowner guts and blood. Lambert’s chest clenches painfully at the sight. Contrary to what everybody might think, he’s far from a heartless bastard, which is why he dismounts and carefully approaches Aiden, still bent over his horse’s neck, to rub soothing circles between his shoulder blades and ease the spasms in his back.Aiden nearly drowns during a contract. After almost having lost him, Lambert might be finally ready to acknowledge that what's between them is more than just a fleeting affair.

Summary
Eskel breaks down after the umpteenth bottle he hears shattering on the floor of Lambert’s room, Vesemir quietly mending the pauldron of his armor, punching tools, studs and thick needles scattered around in a chaotic fashion. Unlike Eskel, Vesemir is positive that Lambert will overcome his issues on his own, but fuck if Eskel isn’t concerned. It’s been a week since he’s got back, and he has practically left his room twice, both of the times yelling at them in advance to “let him go take a shit in peace”. At least he has plucked at the food Eskel has kept leaving outside his door, though stating that he has eaten would be such a huge overstatement. Still, he hasn’t bathed yet, and Eskel strongly suspects he hasn’t spent a single day sober since his sudden arrival – probably, he hasn’t been sober a while longer than that, but Eskel fears the moment he will ask and receive an honest answer on that.
Lambert can't cope with Aiden's death. It's up to Eskel to help him out of his self-destructive spiral before it's too late.

Summary
“Would it be a bad moment to say that I’ve got to pee?”
The question catches Lambert off-guard, being so badly paced timewise and completely out of context, nonsensical, utterly anticlimactic. He doesn’t know why - and he doesn’t like to - but he bursts out laughing, keeping his bawling low in a vain attempt to go unnoticed by the leshen that is undoubtedly approaching, as elusive and silent as piss-old creatures can be.
“Fuck you, Jaskier, and here I thought you were going to drop something more meaningful since we’ll probably get slaughtered soon,” he cackles, tears pooling in the corner of his eyes. Fuck it, at least he’s going to die a merry lad. Not many witchers can claim the same.
Well, dead people can’t claim shit, for one.
“Happy that I’ve offered a note of distraction,” the bard says, straining against the rope fastened tight around his wrists.After having found a girl lost in the forest and having escorted her back to her village, Lambert and Jaskier must face the consequences of doing the right thing as they become the unwilling candidates for a yearly human sacrifice.

Summary
Potentially, he’s walking towards his death. The worst thing is that he is doing this willingly and only for the sake of one person: Ivan.
If you can’t beat them, join them. If you can’t talk some sense back into the man you love, you’ve got no other choice than to silence your own conscience and do whatever it needs to be done in order to stand by his side.
Not all hope is lost, though. A small, though naively overly-optimistic, part of him still hopes to perform a veritable miracle and persuade Ivan to defect. The life of a Ravkan defector is rarely a good one, but it’s always better than to die in the midst of a civil war, doing the bidding of a man who has obviously taken leave of his senses and that’s now monstrously inclined towards annihilating all those that oppose him or dare question his methods.Canonverse AU: instead of siding with Alina, Fedyor defects in order to remain at Ivan's side. A traitor is a traitor, though, and he will be forced to perform an humiliating ordeal so to prove the Darkling his good faith.

Summary
Reviving someone who’s been underwater for so long is nearly impossible; doing it without Tamar’s help is something that goes beyond Tolya’s abilities, for how much he’s nothing like a weakling when it comes to his gift. He cradles Nikolai’s face into his hands, brushing his thumb against a long scrape on his cheek which is still bleeding, and his chest quivers from exertion, and lack of oxygen, and the ghost of a sob tightly locked inside. Tolya Yul-Bataar has never had many friends, but Nikolai – he is his friend. He can’t die like this. He can’t be already dead, though the grayish pallor of his face and the livid discoloration of his lips and nails and eyelids might suggest-
In which Sturmhond falls overboard during a storm, Tolya is decidedly emotionally constipated, and everything that can go wrong goes terribly wrong.
