Summary
Things are so confusing these days. Ximena's son and his girlfriend have apparently invited his best friend to live with them, which is not at all how things were done in Ximena's day. But in these modern times, everything is so expensive, so perhaps it's good for them to have an extra housemate to save on costs.
What's not good is when Ximena learns that Jayce and Viktor may be having an affair right under Mel's nose. Modern times or not, Ximena is appalled -- she raised him better than that! -- but she's going to get to the bottom of this and make sure he does the right thing.

Summary
Excerpt:
The entire crew was either extremely scared of the former Kraken (Lucius, Frenchie, and Fang) or murderous and on the verge of slicing his throat whenever they were alone with him (Jim, Archie, Pete, Ivan). The rest of the crew (Oluwande, Wee John, Roach) was more impartial, but didn’t hide their disdain for Edward in any way.
"Edward and I are hoping that by spending time one-on-one, the crew get to have a personal apology and see that Edward can be the man the two of us know he can be."Or: the three most powerful men on the Revenge all had their individual mission: Edward wants the crew to forgive him for what he had done to them; Bonnet keeps pestering Izzy to teach him how to be a fucking pirate, and Izzy is here, struggling to teach the crew how to survive. Because in a a bit over a week, they’re going to reach their next port. And Izzy wants to fucking leave.
(This fic takes off at during the events of s2ep5 and takes it from there. Up until this point, canon exists (except for Ivan’s death – he’s alive and kicking in this one!), but let’s see if the upcoming events are going to happen in this story.)

Summary
When Diomedes kisses him softly, just once, on the way out one time, as the morning light breaks through the tent flaps, Odysseus stands stock-still for a minute, thinking and rationalizing and trying to pretend it away.
The thing is, Diomedes is there and gone, a light autumn breeze disguised as a warrior-king, and it’s never going to be anything to him, and Odysseus is a tired old man who only ever wanted to stay home. He’s terrified that one day Diomedes will see straight through him, right to the rotten core, and turn his back like he should’ve done ten years ago.

Summary
The tale of Odysseus is one that has been retold over countless millennia, from the mouths of poets, of authors, and historians and storytellers. But has it ever been told from the mouth of the man himself ?
This is a familiar tale, and a familiar story - the Iliad, entombed in history as ancient as the land of Greece. This is the story of the Iliad as told from the mouth of the man who made it all happen - from the mouth of the Silver-tongued prince of Ithaca. From the mouth of Odysseus
Watch as he navigates the cruelty of the war, as lovers are ripped from each other, daughters die, heroes fall, and he survives it all - armed with a quick mind and a sharp tongue.
This is not a story of heroes and gods and myth
This is a story of love, of loss and war and death
This is the story of the most human of the Grecian heroes(A retelling of the Iliad fron the POV of Odysseus. Unedited first draft of my first novel)

Summary
Aiden watched the slowly growing pool of his life’s blood dripping onto the red rock below him. His chest rose and fell in ragged little gasps made awkward by the sword still pinning him to the earth. Pain was far away now and he knew only the cold chill of death would replace it.
As his eyes closed, he couldn’t help but think:
This was going to destroy Lambert.

Summary
Another knock interrupted his scrutiny of his–apparently faulty–security system. He huffed out a breath and mentally consigned himself to a cold breakfast. Biting into his toast, Jaskier reached under the table to retrieve the glock he kept there for exactly this possibility.
He checked the chamber as he walked over to his door and glanced through the peephole. Nothing. Guess he’d have to do this the hard way.
Thumbing off the safety, Jaskier yanked the door open and felt a thrill of surprise burn through him at what awaited him.
Geralt of Rivia lay bleeding on his front porch.
“Well, well,” Jaskier purred, leaning against the door jam. “Who do I have to thank for this gift?”
_______________________Or, What if Jaskier was a super villain and Geralt was his nemesis?

Summary
There you stand, next to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes are wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction~
At the end of it all, when the Witchers have united under Geralt’s name, when Geralt stands in front of them, when he tells them that in two days’ time they march for Ard Carraigh—
It’s Jaskier who first shouts his agreement, “White Wolf!”
The hall seems to hold its breath for a moment and then, a great rumble like thunder in the distance, coming from every voice in the hall, “White Wolf!”
Jaskier could swear, even though he’s only one of hundreds, that in that moment, Geralt looks directly at him, golden eyes burning into his soul.
Or: the first twenty years of the Warlord of the North's reign as documented by Jaskier of the Cats

Summary
“Uh, I…hey?” Ed tried.
Izzy and Stede stopped talking and turned to look at him. Stede smiled pleasantly, but Izzy’s expression was harder to read.
“Oh, Ed,” Stede said. “It’s nice to see you on deck. How are you feeling today?”
“Fine,” Ed said. “Fine, I just…uh.” He directed the next thing he said to Izzy. “I thought you might…this is for you.” He offered Izzy the tin mug.
Izzy stared at it without speaking. Hurt, surprise, longing, wariness, wistfulness flickered across his face before he clamped down on them, setting his jaw. He took the mug and dumped it out into the sea.
A fic where Izzy figures out his new place in the world through the love and care of the crew and Ed tries to patch up their marriage through food.

Summary
The warning came too late. There was no time to duck out of the way of the wooden beam that hit the bard square in the chest, knocking him backwards. Resigned to a few broken ribs and being knocked on his ass, Jaskier cried out first in pain, then in fear as the back of his legs hit the railing of the ship. There was a distinctive feeling of the world being flipped upside its head, the very ocean below him being turned on its axel before the feeling of falling truly hit him.
He was falling, splinters digging into his skin as his flailing hands hit the wooden side of the ship. There was a choked scream ringing in the air, throat burning with the effort. Down, down, dark blue rushing up to meet him.
