    Summary

    Kara is at the end of her nursing shift when a violent man is brought in with an arrow wound. When he spits blood on her, Kara is transported elsewhere. Soon she's doing emergency wound care on book characters and trying not to lose it. She can't watch people suffer even if it isn't real, but Aragorn is very suspicious of a woman who tells no clear story and smells like an orc.

    “Stranger things have happened than you or I have years to tell of it," Gandalf said. "Why does she unsettle you? Surely you do not feel threatened. I am tolerably certain you could defeat her if it came to violence.”
    Aragorn scoffed at his gentle humor. “I’m glad to amuse you. There are more dangers than warriors and swords. Need I tell a wizard that?"
    “I can assure you she is not evil and has not a whisper of magic.”
    “Yet a beautiful woman appears directly in our path, leagues from civilization, and immediately gains the hobbits’ trust. No wizardry, you say?”
    Kara was not *unhappy* at being called a beautiful woman (although his standards for human women, as opposed to elves, were probably low), but she was unhappy to be stuck eavesdropping. She’d seen this scene too many times in movies. They would definitely see her.

    Rebirth. Rejuvenation. Revival.

    All things die. Relationships. People. Friendships. People.

    Not all things always stay that way.

    Summary

    "This might sound like I'm a few marbles short of a botched game of jacks, but what day is it?" 

    "Might be early September. Probably a Tuesday."

    "...And the year?" The look he gets is simultaneously the most and least expressive way anyone has ever told Hawke he's insane. 

    "1276. Sure something wasn't knocked loose? Looser?" That is decidedly missing a dragon, namely 9:41 Dragon. The year Hawke took a dive into the Fade and didn't come back out.

    Summary

    Two lonely people bump into one another on the road. It’s doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. The same two lonely people bump into one another in Kaer Morhen. It means a great deal more than either of them is willing to admit.

    “I’m Lambert.”

    “Of course you are,” was Jaskier’s immediate response.

    Lambert cocked an eyebrow, the one with a long scar running through it. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

    “Eskel wouldn’t have acted like he was considering killing me, for one.”

    and

    “It’s a salve for your hands.”

    “Why would a witcher keep have burn salve meant for humans?” It wasn’t a challenge, but the question wasn’t entirely innocent either. None of Cirilla’s training put her at risk of burns and any remaining pain from Yennefer’s burns from Sodden could be dealt with via her newly returned chaos. This wasn’t something made for either of them being repurposed.

    “It wouldn’t,” the man said bluntly. “I found the recipe in a book and made it.” He shrugged lightly, like it was nothing. Like it wasn’t more than anyone had done for Jaskier since Yennefer saved him from the burning hands of another mage. “I’ve got a penchant for alchemy, it should work.”
