Summary
It’s been a hell of a week. It’s always a hell of a week with Vash the Stampede, because if he’s not getting himself shot, then he’s getting Wolfwood shot, or held hostage, or fucking eaten alive. Or anyway that’s the excuse Wolfwood’s going to have to use for—honestly, all of it. Except for the parts of it that are just Vash, all on his own.
Wolfwood and Vash accidentally go skinny dipping.

Summary
Fine, Jaskier thought. With an edge of fuck this absolutely. Geralt would never stand by and let some country farmer's wife get robbed. Jaskier's not sure how he'd relay this particular anecdote to Geralt the next time he sees him if he allows it. Having a witcher is almost like having a conscience, really.
"Fine," Jaskier said, aloud to the fates, and then, "Back in a moment," to the lone barmaid, leaving everything but his coat and his hunting dagger behind, and went jogging out after the robber himself like the veriest idiot.
Jaskier finds himself snowed-in, alone, at an all-but-empty inn on Midwinter's Eve. By strange chance, so does Geralt. If only there was a way to pass the time. And also, if only it wasn't bollocking freezing cold and Jaskier hadn't kissed Geralt, completely by accident, right on the face, the last time he saw him.

"Oh," Jaskier breathes. He closes his eyes. Tight. Counts one breath, and a second. "Oh, you stupid, stupid idiot." And then he's running.

Summary
"You want some?" is all Jaskier asks, with only the silly half of a tiny smile. Just—offering. "It's pretty good."
Maybe Jaskier's only offering because he thinks Geralt looks jealous. Maybe Geralt is jealous, somewhere under the sense of inevitable disaster that's the actual reason he hasn't just gone to find his own bed. Certainly, he takes too long to answer a yes or no question, because Jaskier pulls a face that's almost contrite and asks: "Or is this something else that doesn't work on witchers?"
Geralt finds Jaskier in Oxenfurt, and doesn't apologize. He doesn't ask Jaskier to ride out with him again. Both of those things end up happening, anyway, almost. It still might have gone better without accidentally getting tangled up in a soul-swapping curse. It might have gone better if either of them were careful about anything, at all.

Summary
Jaskier didn't drink with the fairy, he didn't fuck with the fairy, and he isn't about to touch some... fairy curse box. It is an obviously terrible idea.
Or: the one where Jaskier stumbles under-hill and comes back with a song and, against all odds, maybe some perspective.

Summary
Nicholas D. Wolfwood is hardly what one would call a connoisseur of literature. As far as he’s concerned, it sorts itself nicely into three buckets: smart books, scripture, and drivel. He avoids the first on principle, finds himself unwillingly dragged through the second more often than not, and dabbles in the third if the fancy strikes.
The book that’s caught his eye presents a conundrum he wasn’t prepared to confront at 10 AM on a bright, already-roasting Tuesday morning. He’s been left unsupervised in a general store while Vash takes care of some do-gooder something or other, and his boredom had him gravitating to the rack of double-dime novels tucked in the back corner. The drivel selection is top-tier. Most of the books he can open at random and land on something both intriguingly salacious and horrendously written, and Wolfwood has spent a solid fifteen minutes gleefully paging through paperbacks with covers featuring washboard abs and heaving bosoms before he spots the book that’s going to ruin his life.

Summary
Two days drive outside the middle of bum-fuck nowhere, forty minutes out from another gunfight, and three weeks after Vash let Wolfwood cut off half his hair and drag him away from yet another home, questionable decisions are made.

Summary
“You’ll know when it happens,” Vash says, and now he turns his head, showing his profile. Without the protection of his glasses, tucked into the collar of his jacket, his eyes flash white in the light. Like an animal, Nicholas thinks. Like something unknowable, untameable, no matter how close one’s willing to get.
But Nicholas has never been afraid of getting bit. He shifts on his rocky perch, chewing the lollipop stick long gone soggy between his teeth. “Can you at least tell me what to watch for?”
Vash hums, turning around fully, half a smile quirking the left side of his mouth, forming a dimple Nicholas wants to press his thumb into.
“Teeth.”

Summary
“You don’t have to do this, you know,” Vash told him, hissing when Wolfwood pressed the rag down harder.
“If you were slower you’d be dead,” Wolfwood replied. He pulled the rag away to study the blood staining the old, ratty cloth. He clicked his tongue, before turning it to a clean side and dragging it up the side of Vash’s face, doing a better job of smearing red against his skin than clearing it away.

Summary
Despite Wolfwood watching Vash like a circling vulture these days, it takes him almost a week to notice anything is actually wrong. They've all gone through plenty of fits of moodiness before, but this...
Vash looks up at the sky for the hundredth time that day, forehead pressed morosely against the window, and sighs, like he's waiting for his husband to return from the worm wars or something.
