    Summary

    Wei Wuxian loses thirteen years of his memories, which means he has absolutely no idea who tried to kill him the day before.

    (He's also at a bit of a loss as to why the beautiful Lan Wangji, who seemed to at most tolerate his presence before, is at his side when he wakes up. But that, Wei Wuxian supposes, is neither here nor there when a murder mystery is to be solved.)

    Summary

    After the mountain top, Jaskier keeps running into witchers. The other witchers of Kaer Morhen decide that if Geralt can't be nice to Jaskier, then they will have to take care of him themselves.

    [Chapter titles from The Amazing Devil songs]

    This is currently being edited, mainly so I can get myself focused and ready to write a sequel. There will be no major changes, mostly just fixing up my bad grammar and typos.

    Summary

    Geralt was never supposed to survive the Trials. A submissive witcher was an abomination, an insult to the order of the world. He can never let anyone know his nature, can never accept a gentle touch or a kind word. It's too risky, too dangerous. He might slip up and that would mean the end of everything.

    But Jaskier refuses to keep to the script. After the boisterous (alluring), overly invasive (affectionate), and stupidly persistent (brave) Dominant walks into his life with bread in his pants, Geralt starts to think that maybe he could break this endless cycle of deprivation and pain. If only he could figure out how to deserve it.

    (This is a low, slow exploration of trauma, recovery, and learning to live with oneself. BDSM is the lens through which all that is explored, but this is not a story based around sexual encounters. Rather, it is one about intimacy, communication, agency, familial bonds, and seeing people as they are.)
