    Summary

    "Are you not afraid of me?” The creature asks.

    The boy scrunches his face in confusion, little hand still offered in greeting between them.

    “I don’t think so,” he tells her.

    “I am a monster,” she says.

    Never trust a monster, his nanny had once told him. And never turn your back on one.

    Or: Ever since he was a child, Jaskier’s been warned about treading the same paths as dangerous creatures. So naturally he goes and gets adopted into a family of sirens and then falls in love with a witcher.

    It proves both a boon and a curse for his life expectancy.

    Summary

    Homecoming AU.

    Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

    So he leaves.

    Simple.

    Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

    And that’s when things get complicated.

    Summary

    Jaskier had spent his whole life basking in the glow of a name that was adored and praised. Jaskier's cousin, just six months older than him, had lingered in the shadows, collecting grudges and grievances like finely crafted daggers. In the wake of the Jaskier's eighteenth birthday and presentation as Omega, Ferrant de Lettenhove was finally given the opportunity and ammunition to unsheathe those weapons.

    Married off to King Radovid V (or Radovid the Stern, Ferrant gleefully tells him), Jaskier loses his life, his music, his freedom, as he is ripped from peaceful Lettenhove and thrown into the bed of the man orchestrating a looming war against magic and its weavers. A war which he plans to bring to the Witchers.

    Summary

    It’s hard, at times, to keep playing at ignorance when the intrepid little moron dumps out the entire bundle of his sleek, downy-soft pelt in search of a new quill, but if he isn’t going to bring it up, Geralt’s certainly not going to pry, even though he does have to prompt the bard surreptitiously more than a few times when the flighty little pest evidently forgets all about his pelt and moves to happily trot along on his way, his freedom left behind in the dust. It’s a fine line Geralt walks, playing dumb while hyper-aware of the situation, but he manages to hold his peace and remain silent even when he wants to scold the selkie to be fucking careful. The bard babbles along at length throughout the day enough without prompting; gods forfend Geralt give him any sign of encouragement for more.

    Still, despite Geralt’s best efforts, he finds that the selkie–who has chosen Jaskier as his name of all things–is growing on him.

    It is, in a few words, fucking obnoxious.

    (Jaskier is a selkie who is absolutely HORRIFIC at keeping up with his pelt) (lucky, then, that he has a witcher to do it for him)

    Summary

    Supper secured and stuffed away in his trousers, he looks up to find the silver-haired stranger in the corner, the one person who hadn’t heckled him. The man is objectively gorgeous, with fascinating hair and a body that makes Jaskier’s mouth water a little.

    Oh yes, he decides quickly, he will be climbing this stranger like a tree.

    He’s a little wrong-footed when he works out that the stranger is a witcher with big scary swords Jaskier’s heard horror stories about, but after a quick moment of thought, he also thinks about how very many things the fae elders have been wrong about all his life and decides to ignore them once again. The witcher–Geralt of supposedly Rivia, even though Jaskier can tell from his accent that that’s a lie–tries to get rid of him, but Jaskier is nothing if he’s not determined, and he’s simply too damn interested to get scared off easily.

    The witcher has clearly not realized that Jaskier is something to be hunted, and Jaskier, well, he’s never excelled at silly things like self-preservation.
