    Summary

    "Maybe," Peter thought, "I can make a life here."
    Hence the tears and the guilt and the grief, because was Peter allowed to move on? Was he allowed to… to leave it all behind? Leave all the bad things in the past?
    Peter was "The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!" after all, and wasn’t he letting Queens - his people - down if he didn’t fight tooth and nail to get back to them?
    or

    Peter's tired. He's so tired, and he doesn't know what to do, but maybe things will get better.
    (They do.)

    Bharadwaj's injury in the field is a reality check to Ayda in more ways than one. The survey planet is not as safe as its idyllic landscapes would appear.

    She can't try to forget PreservationAux's rental SecUnit anymore either, or ignore how human it actually is.

    Summary

    Jaskier seems to run into Witcher's quite a lot when he travels apart from Geralt. He also seems to be oblivious over how much loyalty he inspires.

    Will that hold true when all the secrets of his past come into the light?

    Summary

    Fringilla decides the best way to make a tortured Bard spill where Geralt of Rivia would take his Child of Surprise is to dive into his head and create illusions. When two bastards stumble into his cell and break him out he understandably believes that they are a figment of his imagination. He keeps his cards as close to his chest as a talkative Bard possibly could as they drag him to what they assure him is a safe place. After all, why would Julian know all that Jaskier does about Kaer Morhan?

    Meeting Lambert at Rosie's Tavern at the base of the Blue Mountains he lets half of the cards tumble in the presence of the Wolf Witcher. They grow closer as the four of them trudge up the mountain and meet with the other Wolves in the keep, where he is a trusted member until three weary travelers arrive one morning and cause his cards to go flying.

    Summary

    “Most of the remaining Wolf witchers winter at the old keep,” Eskel says, “Want to come with me?”

    Jaskier blinks.

    He’s always wanted to go with Geralt. But when all of his subtle hints and then, as the years passed, not-so-subtle hints were missed and/or ignored, he’d given up hope of ever being invited. Kaer Morhen just wasn’t something that Geralt was willing to share with him, and Jaskier’d had to live with that. But Eskel is willing. He wants Jaskier to come with him. Share it with him.

    or, Eskel saves Jaskier when he's injured. They travel together, and Eskel brings him to Kaer Morhen without realizing Jaskier and Geralt used to be friends.

    Summary

    Refusing to accept Geralt's death, Jaskier jumps at the chance to fix it, even though it means trapping himself in a time loop. There are warnings, of course. Events happen as they happen. Time tends to resist alteration in the places where it matters. He will be trapped until he accepts the outcome. Jaskier ignores them all and pits his resolve against destiny itself, convinced his refusal to give up on Geralt will be enough.

    It isn’t. Jaskier fails over and over and over again, destiny course correcting every single time. Determination isn't enough to change events, he comes to find.

    But maybe love is enough to bend the details.

    Summary

    Geralt has found his child surprise, the former Princess of Cintra. Very quickly he realises they're in danger from Nilfgaard. Knowing they won't stop until they have what they're after, Geralt takes Ciri and flees north. On their way, he searches for any signs of his old friends, fearing they too are in danger. In a cell in Novigrad, he finds Jaskier who seems all too happy to join them on the journey to Kaer Morhen.

    As days on the road turn to weeks, Geralt can't help but realise that something is wrong with Jaskier. He avoids talking about the things they did together, he doesn't sing, he's tired all the time. The worst is when Geralt catches him with a horrible vacant look in his eyes, like his mind had fled somewhere far away and his body had just been left behind.

    Summary

    Two years after a car wreck cost him all of his memories, Julian had settled into his new-not-new life and was content enough. A boyfriend of five years, his doctor, and his job at the Blue Mountain Nature Center -a lovely little place just outside of the city and not far from the Witcher's Keep- made for a nice life. Or at least a more or less decent one. Sure he felt like things were missing but, as Valdo and Dr. S said, of course he felt like that, he had amnesia. A little excitement every now and again helped. Like the new visitor at the Center. And this other new visitor. This one too. A little excitement every now and again helped. And so did getting to pretend that he was important enough for it to be purposeful when these Witchers and Witches seemed to seek him out to chat.

    Meanwhile, in the nearly three years since Jaskier's kidnapping and presumed murder, the Kaer Morhen family had had to accept that the musician's fate would be an ever painful mystery they couldn't get answers to. And a question about taking care of Lil' Bleater didn't seem like the type of thing that would change that.

    Summary

    For better or worse, Caleb Widogast was a witcher. He didn’t know if his affinity for magic would have made him a sorcerer in another life; he only had this one. His former masters had taught him to channel his gifts towards one thing and one thing only, and he had spent the better part of his life trying to unlearn that lesson, trying to be a protector instead of a murderer—and sometimes being a protector only meant he got to choose who would live and who would die.
    Sometimes it was a hard choice. Other times, however, it was very easy.

    Summary

    How do you know when you are in a cage?

    Is it when all the comforts of daily life are taken away? Or is it when your food is changed from one thing to another? Or perhaps it is when all your choices are made for you, never giving you the chance to decide a single thing in your life, existing purely for the purpose of others.

    Jaskier’s life, and his freedom, are in the hands of his Witcher. The only man who could ever hold the fire and not get burned.

    Summary

    “If life could grant me but one blessing it would be to take you off of my hands!” 

    Maybe on any other day Jaskier would have been paying more attention. Maybe not, because the Bard did tend to get into plenty of trouble, but the tears blurring his eyes did more than hide the path. Jaskier walked up the mountain nursing a bruised ego and following after the man he loved. He was dragged off the mountain unconscious and bleeding, with no one to realize that he was gone.

    Summary

    Briefly, Jaskier wonders if he can play dead. He did do well in his acting classes in Oxenfurt, but he doesn’t have a script to follow and he’s always been chickenshit at improv in acting when out of practice. Besides, Geralt has mentioned more than once that he can hear heartbeats. Which is terrifying. And currently inconvenient.

    “I can smell your tears.”

    Because that isn’t utterly, positively disgusting to think about.

    Or-

    Jaskier has seen flames before, and come out each time a changed man. Why would this time be any different?

    Summary

    Geralt’s golden eyes were blown wide open, and his face was devoid of emotion. He was holding a small dagger in his hand, worryingly, towards Jaskier.
    “I will not ask you again.” Geralt growled. “Who. Are. You.”
    Jaskier pushed himself up in bed, the sleep that was clouding his brain rapidly dissipating.
    “Geralt, what are you talking about? Are you feeling okay? What’s wrong?”

     

     

    instead of a peaceful winter at kaer morhen, where the wolves (plus a bard, a witch, and a lion cub) can relax, geralt wakes up with no memory of jaskier, his bard, his companion, and most importantly, his lover.

    geralt broods. jaskier panics, but tries not to. everyone else wishes that they could just get their act together.
