    Summary

    “Katsuki, you recently moved to Russia to train with your coach Victor Nikiforov,” Yuuri’s not sure why reporters need to tell him things that he already knows, but he’d rather not deal with Minako yelling at him over Skype so he just nods, and the reporter—Shana?—continues, “what do you like the most about training at Yubileyny?”

    “Well the facilities are amazing…” Yuuri switches to autopilot and recites the list of training resources that Victor had galloped through after the Grand Prix Finals—when he mistakenly thought that Yuuri needed any incentive to move to Russia other than Victor himself.

    He must answer the question well enough because she just nods along to some beat that Yuuri can’t hear. “What’s your least favorite thing about training in Russia?”

    The answer bursts out of him before he has any time to consider a diplomatic alternative, “Victor’s driving.”

    (Things escalate from there.)

    Summary

    “Fire through the heart is the only thing that puts a leshy down. Six hours in a fight, and that didn’t occur to you?”

    Geralt should have known, then.

    -----------------

    Geralt grieves, and regrets, and desperately tries to do right by Ciri. Elsewhere, Jaskier rescues a handsome witcher from a tree, gets into trouble, takes up the name of the Sandpiper, and finds solace in a kindred soul - not necessarily in that order. Eskel just wants to make it home to his brothers, his father, and Geralt, and keep their bard alive while doing it.

    Summary

    Alone on Lunar New Year? Mad at your family? Read on...
    I am a 29 year old felon with no high school degree, and a dirty old car one year younger than me that's loud enough to wake the dead. I’m a line cook and work late nights at a bar. If you’d like to have me as your strictly platonic date for Lunar New Year, but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship with you, to torment your family, I’m game. I require no pay but the free meal I will receive as a guest!

    AKA the time that Zhou Zishu hired a boyfriend to piss off Jin Wang at the annual Lunar New Year party

    Summary

    “You know there’s an Instagram dedicated to shipping us,” Wen Kexing says in the teachers lounge later that day with barely repressed glee. "I don’t know whether to find it sweet or a bit creepy.”

    “Definitely creepy,” Zhou Zishu declares. “These kids are devils.”

    Summary

    "This is a very simple experiment, bard." Cold blue eyes met Jaskier's. "The Witcher over there? He's dying. There's only one thing that can save him at this point."

    Jaskier glanced towards Geralt apprehensively; his head lolled back. If he was conscious, he gave no sign of it.

    "I want you to bond him."

    Jaskier jerked, staring at the man in horror. "No."

    Soul-bonding was intimate, a moment reserved in private between two people who had decided to share every joy and every sorrow. They would feel each other's pain, know if the other was on the brink of death. It was a bond that could only be forged with good intention, with the purest motive. There was no way to undo it. Bonding Geralt would mean surrendering half his soul to the Witcher, to experiencing every pain, and every woe. But worse than that. Witchers didn't have souls. Jaskier would be throwing away the greatest connection he could ever experience, for a man who would never be able to return it. Jaskier was romantic enough to admit that he wanted a romance of the ages, and a bond of certainty.

    Not this.

    "Let me make this easier for you: bond him, or I'll kill you."
