    Summary

    "Somehow, Susan can’t let go of the idea that there used to be a time no one would dare contradict her. When no one bullied her for being a mousy and petulant little orphan, because she simply wasn’t one. Wherever and whenever that was, even if it's just her dreams, Susan wishes she could go back.

    Or maybe she wishes that the people from her dreams were here. Peter would never let her get teased on the playground. He’d stand up to the bullies. Edmund would probably put a frog in the schoolbag of any girl who dared to try and mess with her. Lucy would hold her head up high and host tea parties with her, ones with better snacks than all the other girls in her class had.

    She misses the three of them, in a way that is terrible and painful and confusing, because while her brain says that they aren’t real, her heart says they must be."

     

    Or, Susan Pevensie is an orphan who has a family in her dreams. She knows that the siblings and adventures she wishes for can't be real, but she cannot deny the number of memories she has that have never actually happened, all the things she knows but shouldn't, and the sense she's had all her life that something very important is missing and just waiting to be found.

    Summary

    Kathy put her hands on her hips and gave Cosmo a long, not very flattering appraisal. “Don is convinced that you’re dying, or you’ve developed an alcohol problem, or you’re packing up and moving to New York and don’t know how to tell us, but it doesn’t look like any of those things are happening. So why are you avoiding us?”

    Summary

    You meet up with your soulmate in dreams once or twice every year your whole life, giving you the chance to grow up together and befriend each other no matter where you live. The catch is you only remember what happens in those dreams if you’re currently in one, or if you meet in real life and you BOTH want to be with each other, meaning your waking lives carry on as they would have otherwise with you none the wiser as to whether or not you have a soulmate out there.

    This leads to unexpected and wonderful tearful reunions between soulmates discovering each other in waking life, but if your waking selves don’t get along or have emotional constipation (cough, Geralt, cough cough) you and your soulmate can only watch helplessly from your dream meetings as your waking selves make things terrible for both of you without even realizing it.

    (Created my own homebrew soulmate!au rules to get myself some solid logical worldbuilding where the characters still have to choose each other in the end, no matter what what destiny says.)

    He’s barely three when he runs into his parents’ bedroom in the middle of the night for the first time, chubby cheeks tear-streaked and little body shaking from fear.

    He’s eleven when he remembers the names.

    He’s fifteen when the Lion visits him.

    Enjolras is a pornstar, Grantaire is a fan.

    “He’s a porn star,” hisses Grantaire, clutching the phone. “I have wanked off to this guy. I have literally just wanked off to this guy, Eponine, what do I do?”

    Summary

    "I … I don't get what I’m meant to do. I just throw my food into the fire and ... talk?" James, a son of Hermes asked -- Percy could recognise those blue eyes and elfish facial features anywhere.

    Percy grinned, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."

    James hesitated before looking down at his feet, "But ... Hermes has a lot of children more powerful and more popular than me. What would I even ask him for? It's not like he cares."

    Maybe it was because Percy was reminded of that promise he wrangled from the gods at age sixteen, but one moment he was looking at the younger camper, and the next he was throwing some of his food into the fire and asking Poseidon for some Disneyland tickets very, very loudly.

    But even though he wasn't quite sure how it happened, the small, shocked laugh that James let out made it worth it.

    Or

    Percy sees that some of the newer campers don't feel 100% comfortable with requesting stuff from their godly parents, so he decides to rectify that the only way he knows how -- dramatically.

    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

    Jaskier's start in life was unfortunate, but sadly not unheard of. He was put in a sack, less than an hour old, and chucked in the river. For many in his position that would of been the end of it, but the Yaruga heard his cut off wail and swept him into her loving embrace.

    Less than an hour old and Jaskier had already died and been reborn as the newest child of Mama Yaruga.

    Summary

    “So do you have a name?”

    “Yeah.” The man who had saved his life less than an hour ago – the white-haired, absurdly buff, weirdly sexy man Jaskier might have called taciturn if he was feeling charitable and surly if he was feeling less so – dug into his second burger.

    Jaskier waited. “Are… you going to tell me what it is?”

    The man paused mid-bite, and looked at him reproachfully as if to say how dare you. How dare you interrupt me. Can’t you see I’m enjoying my cheeseburger. Can’t you see this cheeseburger is the most important thing in my life right at the moment. He swallowed, and said, “Geralt.”

    It turns out almost getting eaten by a werewolf can make your whole life go careening off in a new, terrifying, wondrous, artistically flourishing direction. Who knew?

    Summary

    I brought a dead princess back to life through the power of song is the kind of thing that would have got an eyebrow raise even from the stone-faced Geralt of Rivia, so it's a good thing he and Geralt will probably never see each other again.

    (or: the one where Jaskier channels magic through his songs, and it almost never goes as expected.)

    Summary

    It was a long time before Geralt suspected anything. Geralt had been trained to notice such things at Kaer Morhen, and had gone years, decades even, without missing something as large as this. He could hear Vesemir shouting now at Geralt’s blindness, unexplainable aside from the locked away knowledge that this had escaped his attentions because he liked the way Jaskier chattered at him, the coin he brought in from his little tunes, liked him. Any bizarre incident that arose was brushed aside in favor of Jaskier’s easy company.

    And there had been many incidents.

    Summary

    "He sighs, turning back around, freezing in his spot as he hears a distant… well, something. He’s not sure what it is, yet, but he keeps quiet, listening for any other sound. There it is, again, and this time he recognizes it as a piano, in the distance, somewhere in this abandoned old building – the sound of the single note echoing through the large halls and many rooms. Again, a note, then a chord, and he cocks his head as whoever is playing starts the song in earnest."

     

    Ghosts aren't real. That much Geralt knows. That's why, when he explores the halls of the abandoned Woodward Sanatorium in the hopes of renovating the building, he knows it's not haunted. The toy car in one of the rooms only moves on its own because of the uneven floor. The wheelchair in another room doesn't change positions, he's just remembering things wrong. The shadows he sees out of the corner of his eye are just that- shadows, tricks of the light, his imagination.

    Yet, even he can't explain the piano music that drifts through the halls of the abandoned building.

    Summary

    Geralt has gotten used to missing Jaskier, and wondering what became of him after he sent him away after the dragon hunt. Really he has. And there is no point thinking about it anyway, because although witchers don’t age, humans certainly do, and after more than seven hundred years, Jaskier is long dead. Which is why it takes him so off guard to find him in the dorm room of a particularly incompetent mage.

    Summary

    The post is yours, if you’re still interested. Yennefer said you amused her and Ciri wouldn’t shut up about you, so I guess I’ve no choice. 
     
    -Sir Geralt of Rivia

    Jaskier is a tutor that can't hold down a job. Sir Geralt of Rivia is a scandalous gentleman getting his hands dirty for the good of the Empire with a literal witch of an ex-wife living in his North Tower and an unruly, mysteriously-acquired daughter who has run off the previous five governesses. Billowing shirts? Suffering a fever after sprinting across the rain-soaked moors? Hastily unfastened breeches in the eerie library? Hunting parties that end in mayhem? It's all here.
