    Summary

    After four atrocious attempts at a task, Greg waits to see if Jack Dee’s efforts will be worth any points at all. It is not. But when the contestants complain that the task was impossible, and that no-one – not even Greg – could do better, Greg decides to prove them wrong. The task: ‘Romance Alex’, and Greg’s time starts now.
    ---
    A collaborative fic written by LadyJekyll and Illuminescence – with the prompt “Fake Dating”. Alternating chapters from Alex’s PoV and Greg’s PoV (by Illuminescence and LadyJekyll respectively), we surprised ourselves, tossed the hot potato of plot twists and cliffhangers at each other, and ended up with 40k of flirting, misunderstandings, and fake dates! Enjoy!

    Summary

    Before we get to a specific scene, you should know one thing. It was December, so coldness was kinda normal. But a miracle just happened a few days before. A big snowstorm came over London and since that day it has been snowing heavily. Sometimes it was even hard to see through the snowy fog.

    And on that particular Wednesday, the consequences of the snowstorm were making themselves felt more than ever. When Crowley was about to leave, she heard a ring bell. She pulled a handle and because of the weight of something (or someone), she fell. Still in shock, she was lying on the black carpet, being trapped under somebody, feeling the cold of the unlocked door. And then Crowley heard a silent voice next to her ear.

    ,,It is quite wonderful weather today, isn't it?”

     

    or
    Azira Fell is a new bookseller in London and Antonia Crowley owns a flower shop. they meet under casual circumstances but their story involves something deeper than just being friends. as always.

    Summary

    "Now, I want everyone to think," said Nilanjana, setting the chalk down. She leaned forward with her palms on the desk. "What was the worst danger this town has faced in recent history? The time we came closest to being destroyed?"

    "Strexcorp," said Carlos, Abby, Luisa, and Mark.

    "When Carlos was trapped in the desert otherworld," said Cecil.

    "Yes to you four, no to Cecil. We were almost taken over by Strexcorp, because they were people. Not giant centipedes, not plastic bags, not any unintelligent thing we could destroy, people. And people are more than just sentience. They have emotions and reasoning and logic. They can plan and think."

    ~~~
    A new team of scientists arrives in Night Vale, but they want much more from the town than to research it. These scientists want nothing less than total control of Night Vale. For the citizens ready to rise and defend their weird and wonderful home, this means war.

    Summary

    OP Summary from NoRationalThoughtRequired: It makes a certain kind of poetic sense, having a musician--who specializes in taking you somewhere else with his songs while you’re stuck here, in the present--playing outside of a bookshop--which specializes in selling pages bound together by the hundreds that transport you to other places, other times. This young man, this Jaskier, he’s bright, he’s cheerful, he’ll draw the eye, you won’t be able to be within a hundred feet of him and not be curious, and if there are curious people standing right by a shop of curious books and other curiosities, well, the idea makes a certain kind of business sense, too.

    Geralt gives a nod, short, sharp. “Just don’t block the door. And don’t make me regret this.”

    Jaskier claps his hands together and squeals in delight. “No, no, I won’t, I promise. You won’t! You won’t regret this.”

    Or: Bookshop owner Geralt inexplicably, in what must be a fit of temporary madness induced by the early hour and not enough caffeine, allows musician Jaskier to play outside his shop. Somewhere along the way, he starts to fall in love.
