Summary
What happens when you’re forced to become the very thing you despise?
Ex-Auror Harry Potter, tossed out of the Ministry for something he had no control over, has been looking for a way back to his former life. When he comes across Draco Malfoy in the criminal underbelly of Wizarding London and in need of protection, Harry figures bringing him in to face the Ministry's justice is his ticket back to everything he's lost.
But nothing is exactly as it seems. Not even Harry himself. And as he gets drawn further and further into Malfoy's world of honour and deception he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew—about his childhood nemesis, the Ministry job he misses so much, and most of all, about himself.
What happens when you’re forced to see that you were wrong?

Summary
“Can’t afford it,” Geralt grunted.
“It’s not that expensive to rent a bed -” Jaskier started.
It stings to have it pushed in his face that his life isn’t normal, so far beyond normal that someone like Jaskier can’t fathom it.
“It’s expensive to rent a private room,” Geralt couldn’t keep the snarl out of his voice. “Or do you think anyone wants to sleep near a witcher?”
When Geralt meets Jaskier in Posada, he is jaded, bitter and so lonely some days he thinks he might kill him. Jaskier is young, bright, and not afraid of tarnishing his reputation by standing by a witcher.
Years later, Geralt repays the kindness.

Summary
"One too many drinks down in the barrel could get a man killed if he wasn't careful, and picking a fight with Jesper Fahey was about as far from careful as one could get without stepping right off into the harbor."
The first [and last] time someone made a comment about the Crow's personal affairs.

If Your Heart Wears Thin, I Will Hold You Up (And I Will Hide You When It Gets Too Much) by ravenshavetakenmetoneverland

Summary
Aiden had found a small hole on Lambert’s walls, pecked it bigger like a woodpecker until he could squeeze right through and make himself a nice home inside Lambert’s heart. He lay there like a cat in a sunbeam, completely content, and Lambert was baffled by it because he had always thought he didn’t have anything to give.
(Or: how Aiden and Lambert met and taught each other important survival skills like how to swim and how to be loved.)

A Song of Service by didoandis

Summary
“Why do you wear that collar?” the witcher asks.
Jaskier startles. He’s been fiddling with it, he realises, a nervous habit. He didn’t think the witcher had noticed, even though those golden eyes seem to spot most things.
“It’s so people know what I am,” he says.
“And what are you?” the witcher says. His tone has turned surprisingly gentle. Perhaps he can hear the misery in Jaskier’s voice.
“Bound in service,” Jaskier explains. He tries on a smile. “It might not look like it, but I’m as much of a prisoner as you are.”
Jaskier didn’t exactly plan to escape from his master alongside a terrifying witcher. But it might turn out to be one of his better decisions.
[Inspired by The Accidental Warlord and His Pack by Inexplicifics.]

Summary
Snape rolled his eyes. "You're not scared of blood, Potter. For one, you're a Gryffindor. For another, you seem to face down the Dark Lord with alarming regularity. If you were afraid of blood, you wouldn't have made it past your first year in this castle."
"What do you want me to say?" Harry shouted, suddenly filled with the same irrational anger that'd been so hard to shake since Cedric's death. He jumped to his feet, unable to sit any longer. "What would you have me do? I couldn't make myself break skin, okay? Is that so hard to believe?"
--
Or: a potion requires blood as an ingredient. Harry's afraid of a relapse. Snape just wants to know why Harry Vanished a perfectly decent brew. They come to an understanding.

Summary
Something happened in the hours after the final battle, after the evacuation of the living and the dead. As the last of the survivors left the castle, and as the castle itself turned its wounded back on them all. The loss of Hogwarts has been felt by their entire community. And it’s something that needs to be put right.
Harry knows there’s nothing he can do to stop Hermione (war hero, historian, author of the reissued “Hogwarts: A History”) once she sets her mind to something. Even an extremely risky last-ditch effort to restore the ancient castle and lay its newest ghosts to rest. What he wasn’t counting on was her insistence that Draco Malfoy be part of the plan.

Summary
Years ago, Geralt and Jaskier had a fling when they met on the indie music scene in Camden. Things didn't work out, and they lost touch when the pandemic hit. Now, with life in London slowly starting up again, they run into each other, but neither is ready to give this another go.
When Geralt's niece Ciri runs away from home and comes to him for help, Geralt is overwhelmed. He knows nothing about kids. And there's another problem - Ciri seems to be scared of something, and it soon becomes apparent that she's not just making things up.
The only person Geralt can think of to ask for help is the one person he is trying to avoid.

Summary
Dead? Rience? That wasn’t-no way.
Jaskier almost wanted to laugh, but this wasn’t laughable. If Rience was dead, then he was unmated. In a room with two Alphas, that he didn’t know anything about. So, instead of laughing, he just settled for wrapping his arms further around his stomach. Which, unfortunately, brought the Alpha’s attention to it. He frowned. “How far along are you?”
Jaskier stilled. They knew. They knew he was pregnant- no, no he couldn’t lose another one. If he was unbonded then one of them would try to bond him, and he’d never be allowed to keep his baby.
AKA: Geralt kills Rience, only to find that Rience was bonded to a pregnant Omega, with enough trauma to make a witcher concerned.
