Summary
By twenty-eight, Stiles has resigned himself to a quiet life of working in his magic shop, selling Jackson Whittemore fart-inducing tea, and looking after his goddaughter. It's a good life. But the quiet goes to hell when his sister, Lydia, shows up with a crispy werewolf in her trunk and a bite mark on her shoulder, because hard on her heels comes the hottest person Stiles has ever seen, and he happens to be looking for his uncle.
You know, the dead guy Stiles helped Lydia bury last night.
(Or: the Pracitical Magic AU nobody asked for.)

Summary
Left with only three other crew mates, it’s a ready expectation that Sanji will start fawning all over Robin in his usual obnoxious way. However, that’s not what happens. Instead, looking wild around the eyes in a way only someone who knows him well would recognize, the cook doesn’t break stride until he’s firmly within Zoro’s orbit and can wrap both hands around his upper arm, clinging tight.
“Hi, darling,” he chirps, his expression desperately conveying that Zoro needs to play along under pain of death. “Did you miss me?”

Summary
His father wasn’t stupid. He was an officer of the law, trained to look for patterns. He confronted Stiles about werewolves and they shouted and Stiles tried to explain but his father was so, so, so mad, more mad than Stiles had ever seen him, ever in all his life and then his father looked at him and said,
“It’s like you’re not my son anymore.”
And Stiles broke.

Summary
“You’re a criminal,” Alec asks.
Eliot meets his eyes. “By definition, yeah.”
“But still a good man though, right?”
Eliot twists his beer bottle around, tracing fingers over the filigree of the yellow label. “I hope so.”
“Oh no,” Alec bites out, voice brooking no argument. “No, you’re not gonna start doubting that again, not after all these years. Took us too long to beat that shit into your head for one dame, no matter how fine she is, to yank it out.”

Summary
When Jaskier is stiffed by a lord on payment, he decides to help himself to proper compensation. Alongside the correct amount of gold and silver, he also steals a beautiful silver wolf's head medallion.
It's safe to say that he is not expecting the medallion to be haunted by the spirit of a very grumpy, very handsome, very cursed Witcher.

Summary
He let out a deep breath, and thought for a moment about how to phrase his request. There was no way to do it subtly; his intent would be clear no matter what. So he decided to speak plainly, as always, and just blurted out, “I need the recipe.”
There was a strange silence for a few moments, before his mother finally managed to ask, “When you say you need the recipe, do you mean… the recipe?”
All he could do was nod stiffly.
“You do know what you are asking for, Nico?” she gasped.
Nicky has finally managed to ask Joe out on a date. A dinner date, in fact, with the dinner in question being made by his own two hands. So, he decides to bring out the big guns - a traditional family recipe, passed down through generations, that has never failed. (But, unfortunately, there may be a first time for everything...)

custodial by PenAndInkPrincess
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, The Witcher (TV)

Summary
custodial definition: relating to or having parental responsibility, especially as allocated as part of a divorce.
“I can take her,” Geralt says, and it’s all Jaskier can do not to slap him across the face.
“You don’t know her,” he says at once. “You don’t know her, and she doesn’t know you. I’m not letting her go with a stranger.” He meets the witcher’s gaze directly and dares him to persist.
Wisely, Geralt doesn’t.
(Ciri finds Jaskier first and Geralt only comes along later)
(Jaskier is not handling co-parenting well)

Bookmarker's Notes
it's Pen, what's more to say? It's Pen with angry, petty, loving bard-dad. Com'on. It doesn't get better than this! (Well, maybe in chapter 2?)

Summary
Geralt knows it’s only a matter of time before he has to leave the bard behind.
He’s had human friends before, but none have followed him like this boy has: simply because he wishes to follow. Geralt can’t account for it.
He knows it’s selfish, but he likes having Jaskier with him. Even though he knows it won’t last.

Twenty-Five Love Letters for a Priest by fishie_scribbles for Occlusivelare
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movie 2020)
19 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
In 2012, amateur art restorer Alessandra De Lorenzo found twenty-five letters safely hidden in a choral book placed in the library of Praglia Abbey. All written in the autumn and winter of 1529 - 1530, the letters, which mix four different languages, document a love story like no other: a newly initiated priest was receiving them from a desperate lover, who was pleading him to abandon priesthood and resume their relationship.
To study these letters, the language employed within them, and their historical importance, three PhDs were employed: Doctor Pia Romola, Doctor Dimitrios Yannaras, and Doctor Fahd Wardi. These are their findings.
--
Alternatively: that time Joe pissed Nicky off so much he decided to get back into priesthood just to spite him, and Joe, the desperate, romantic lover he canonically is, wrote him letters to convince him to come back home.
--
Alternatively alternatively: as she's settling into immortality, Nile finds an academic essay that details Joe and Nicky's relationship in the early XVI Century and has so, so many questions to ask them.
[The first chapter is focused on the academic essay; the second one is very much Nile centric]

The Opposite of Love's Indifference by Tallfroggie20
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types
07 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
It goes like this:
A boy is abandoned, swept up, and transformed. A boy grows up learning not to feel. A man spends lifetimes alone, battered by the world and its hatred, until he is hardened beyond repair. Not even the joyous songs of a beautiful lark can repair the decades of cruelty. He learns kindness, perhaps, and may even know love, but he will never be the same as that boy left at the side of the road so long ago.
And yet. What if it went like this?
A boy is abandoned, swept up, and transformed. A young man sets out into the world, still clinging onto the hope of becoming a hero. But he is not alone anymore. There is now someone there, someone to stitch him together when he's injured, someone to dry his tears when they threaten to fall and to tell him it will be okay.What would the boy become?
---
An AU where Geralt meets Jaskier much, much earlier than before. He's only been on the Path for a few months, and Jaskier is a professor who never quite made it as a traveling bard. Good thing he's a teacher, because someone did not raise this poor Witcher correctly. It's time to learn emotional maturity!Series

Summary
A century before Blaviken, before sorceresses and bards and Child Surprises, a child soldier leaves Kaer Morhen with dreams of becoming a hero. In some versions of things, those dreams are smothered, pulled under by all hatred and fear the world has to offer. This is not that story.
For sometimes, a tavern in Posada hosts its guests a few decades early. Sometimes, an older professor wanting to see something new in the world stumbles across a boy who has not yet been beaten down by it. Sometimes, their lives become intertwined, and a boy grows up knowing love where previously there had been none.
After a winter apart, Geralt and Jaskier reunite for their second year together on the Path.

Summary
“Rumour has it, the White Wolf himself arrived this morning,” Essi says. “By portal, or there would have been a whole procession. Anyway, there were two witchers at the Academy, and they were asking about you.”
“Me?”
Essi holds out a sheet of paper without a word.
It’s a bulletin board notice. Wanted Alive, it says. The Sandpiper. By order of the White Wolf, Warlord of the North. Below is an engraving of a wolf head, snarling and almost audibly growling.
