    Summary

    Jaskier could admit to it; he was starting to develop a problem.

    He wouldn’t call it a drinking problem, exactly. He’d seen men with that kind of sickness, who couldn’t function unless they had ale lingering on their lips, and he could happily go weeks without ever touching the stuff (even if he’d prefer not to – but life on the road with a Witcher didn’t always bring with it anything other than slightly-muddy water).

    It was just that when he did drink, he tended to steal things.

    He couldn’t help it! He’d tried to help it. But no matter how much he thought he could recount the nights they spent in taverns, he’d wake up in the morning to find some small thing in his pack; cleaning supplies for his lute, a tiny bottle of the whiskey he liked, a new fine silk shirt. He couldn’t remember taking them, but there was no other possible explanation. They were too tailored to his own desires to be some passing fancy slipping them in with his things and checking his coin purse confirmed that he’d not spent anything near the amount he should have done for some of the things he’d found.

    -///-

    Or, five times Jaskier thought that he was a drunken thief, and one time he realised he wasn't.

    Summary

    When James Kirk was five, his mother gave him a pack of coloured pens. She explained what they were for, and how he shouldn’t get his hopes up too much for a reply. After all, he was only a little boy...

    Every human being experiences the Echoes - images that appear on your skin when your soul-mate chooses to draw or write on themselves. Everyone, that is, except James Kirk. Gone his whole life without a single Echo, Jim cannot stop wondering what might have become of his soul-mate. And why they never wrote back to him...

    Summary

    They aligned their hands through the glass and for a moment it was almost like they touched, Spock almost believed he could feel the other man, his Captain, his friend, his… t’hy’la. Then James was gone… or was he? Spock could almost swear he could hear him, hear his voice, feel the warmth of his presence, but that’s impossible isn’t it? What Spock will soon be finding out is that nothing is impossible when love is involved.

    Summary

    But then weeks turned to months turned to years and Jaskier realized he’d been wrong; Geralt actually enjoyed physical touch as much as he did - he was just too scared to ask for it or seek it out beyond brief nights with whores. Sometimes Geralt would give him odd looks, yes, when he tried to hug him or touch him but he never pushed him away.

    And that, for Geralt, meant something.

    So, Jaskier kept pushing the boundaries and Geralt kept letting him.
