    Summary

    Argus' life was a largely thankless one (unless you counted the thanks of the paintings he maintained), working on keeping a thousand year old castle from falling down around the ears of students who didn't care. He had his cat, his work, his books, and a constant boil of self hatred and resentment to get him by.

    And then a sixth year handed him a letter from her aunt, thanking him for acting as conservator of Hogwarts and calling him Dr. Filch. It was the first time he had been called Doctor since he started at the castle. He had little choice but to write back, after that.

    Summary

    Sorted into Slytherin with the whisper of prophecy around her, Hermione refuses to bow down to the blood prejudices that poison the wizarding world. Carving her own path forward, Hermione chooses to make her own destiny, not as a Muggleborn, a halfblood, or as a pureblood... but as a New Blood, and everything the mysterious term means.

    Summary

    “I can’t stand the waiting,” Jaskier finally admitted. “The hours before Geralt leaves for a hunt. It feels like the calm before the storm, but then then the storm is just more waiting. Waiting to find out what state Geralt will be in when he comes back, waiting to see if he’ll even come back at all.”

    “You care about my brother.” It wasn’t a question, more a statement of fact, but Jaskier felt compelled to reply anyway.

    “Of course I do,” he said. “I care about him so much, but what can I do, really? I’m not a fighter or a healer, for all that I’ve tried to learn what I can over the years.” He gave a heavy, dejected sigh. “I just...play silly songs, and wait for him to return.”


    Jaskier's first introduction to Lambert doesn't go quite as well as he'd hoped. He's nothing if not persistent, though, and it turns out that the two of them have more in common than they realize.
