Summary
“Fuck, three more?” Nile rubbed her face, trying to recall the details. Now she thought about it, yeah, there was a third point of view, another guy, maybe?
Andy was frowning, eyes moving behind her closed eyelids as if she were searching her memories. Suddenly she sighed. “Damnit. I know him.”
Hardison, Parker and Spencer gain immortality; no one gives Hardison a sword; considering immortality together is enough to get Parker and Hardison to make their move.

Summary
Booker's plan to spend a lot of time very, very drunk is derailed by a stray dog.
Next thing you know, Booker's running a home for old or otherwise unadoptable dogs. With all the emotional healing and cartharsis you'd hope for.
He woke in the morning to her curled on his bed behind his knee, the empty bottles that had been there knocked to the floor. It was warm and comforting and Booker groaned into his pillow. He had a fucking dog now.

Summary
Twenty-odd years later, Copley recruits his successor for his job.
Jackson was on the wrong side of forty and considering having a midlife crisis. Just a little one. Mom had been gone for six months - passed quickly and quietly in her sleep, thank goodness - but Jackson was feeling unmoored. His job at the CIA was good, challenging and well-paid, but as his kids grew he found it more and more difficult to ignore the voice at the back of his head which wondered if the people he worked for were also good.

Summary
When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)
OR
Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.

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
The heart-warming story of failing to reform a rogue Combat SecUnit, who eventually stops killing people anyway because dealing with others nagging it about it all the time is just too fucking tedious to be endured.
or
Skulk has decided to kill everyone involved in its planetary government and it's up to the crack team of SecUnit, Ratthi, and Gurathin to stop it. (Okay, let's be honest, it's mainly SecUnit, but Ratthi helps! Gurathin is along for the ride.)
or
That time Dr. Ratthi tried to do social outreach to a rogue construct and ended up increasing the Preservation Alliance by two systems and preventing a genocide.

Summary
This is the story of how Jaskier helps to save the world.
Jaskier is twenty when a rift opens and an army of Fae pour through it. Bloodthirsty and mindless, they sweep across the Continent, devastating human settlements and pushing them into smaller and smaller communities. Jaskier finds himself trapped in Lettenhove, having to deal with his father's gradual decline into madness and protecting his family and his village from the threats outside their walls. He meets a Faerie, trapped in a Faerie Ring; the rest, as they say, is history.

Summary
Jaskier was part fae. A quarter to be precise.
There was an old superstition among humans that names held power, but for fae it was so much more than that. Names meant control. If you knew a fae’s name, their true name, they would be completely at your will. If someone knew your true name you were nothing more than their servant. A slave. All it took was a single command.
When war breaks out between neighboring kingdoms, Jaskier's father uses his true name and commands him to marry a witcher as part of a peace treaty. Neither Jaskier or Geralt are particularly happy with the arrangement. But as Jaskier gets to know him better he realizes that the witcher might just be able to give him the thing he's always craved. Freedom.

Summary
Alone with no one to save him, Jaskier considers his words very carefully.
"I am a bard," He insists, "I am magnificent. He grunts, I tell stories. Please, I don't know anything-"
A rush of pain and through his choking gasps he hears,
"If you won't use your voice to tell me where he is, then you won't use it at all."
Or,
If Yennefer hadn't saved Jaskier from the fire mage.

Summary
When Geralt inherits his uncle’s old cottage house, Kaer Morhen, he has to figure out what to do with it. It’s run-down and falling apart, and he doesn’t know if fixing it up will be worth the money he’ll get when he inevitably sells the place—and Ciri doesn’t want him to sell it at all. But he knows sometimes you have to let things go.
Meanwhile, Jaskier is struggling to write his next album, and the label is breathing down his neck about it. His manager, Yennefer, thinks it would be good for him to get away for a while. Away from all the distractions of the city, so he can focus on his music. And her ex’s uncle used to have a cottage in the middle of nowhere…
Sometimes holding on and letting go are but two sides of the same coin.

Summary
When he gets back, two bowls of stew and a jug of wine balanced precariously in his hands courtesy of a grateful mother, Geralt is exactly where he left him. He’s fast asleep, chest slowly rising and falling beneath the blanket still draped over him.
Roach glances over and nickers at him softly. “You and me, girl, we’ve got a hell of a job on our hands,” Jaskier whispers to her. “Don’t you worry, though. I’ll stick around for a bit. Help you out.”
Roach flicks an ear at him, and then goes back to her hay. Jaskier heaves a sigh. “Sometimes I feel so unappreciated.”
