Summary
“I just wanted to ask,” he continues, pausing to steel himself, “if you wanted to get brunch with me today? I could use the fresh air.”
ESPRIT DE CORPS — He was scared to ask you this – scared to come off as unprofessional. He doesn’t make friends with other cops easily, and he’s not quite sure how to approach something like this. This is personal, not about work. Keep it casual.
“Oh...!” you blurt. “Yeah, I would like that a lot!”

Summary
Back in the infirmary at Precinct 41, Nix Gottlieb immediately has you strip off your trousers. It takes a heroic effort but you do not say, “Buy me dinner first?”
“Good to see you made it,” he says, nonchalantly, removing the bandages and frowning at your torn stitches. The wound in your thigh oozes and you twist the corners of your mouth. The leg does not seem your leg, does not seem attached to the body that does not seem to belong to you. You’re sure it is someone else’s leg, cleverly folded beneath the jaundiced torso that was beneath the head that also cannot be your own. You looked out at the world through stolen eyes; now you look down at the hands assigned to you. They’re covered in dried mud and blood and motor oil.

Summary
"You should leave me," Jaskier mumbles. It takes a second for Geralt to parse out the words, and when he does he feels ice chasing the potion through his veins.
"Stop fucking saying that," Geralt says, and maybe he is angry at Jaskier - not for the injury, never that, but for the idea that Geralt would consider leaving him behind. For thinking even for a second that Jaskier lying abandoned on a battlefield to die is a price Geralt could ever pay.
(In the aftermath of their flight from the Redanian camp in episode 4, Geralt reflects on what he has come dangerously close to losing, and truly chooses what he wants to become.) -

Screaming and crying and crying the writing style is so good
