Juniper Berries by WingedQuill

Summary
Ciri is forced to go on the run when Nilfgaard catches up with her and Geralt. When she is claimed by another witcher via the Law of Surprise, she thinks destiny must be playing a cruel joke on her. She is still mourning Geralt, after all. How dare another try to replace him?
(Meanwhile, Juniper—or Jaskier, as he was once known—is kicking himself for making the exact same mistake that Geralt made all those years ago. But maybe a child surprise is exactly what he needs to help him move on from his lost humanity. And the girl seems to be dealing with her own brand of grief. Perhaps he can help her.)

Summary
Jaskier had not noticed that he was falling apart until he found himself looking into Geralt’s golden eyes and realized that he had no defense.
“I don’t play for the dead,” he said. Geralt’s gaze held him fast. His heart sped and he wondered if the Witcher could hear it. He wondered if Geralt knew the exhilaration and terror that burned the dread away like flame to oil. “Not anymore.”

Summary
Geralt is just supposed to pass through the quiet Lettenhove area. He's not anticipating being begged by its people to help save their viscount from a curse that keeps him from daylight. Lord Jaskier, they call him, and he's likely dying.
As Geralt struggles to untangle the ugly web of history that has lead to the increasingly complicated curse, he finds himself spending more and more time with the strange young viscount and wondering just what he might have been before the curse, and who he might be after. But things are not always as they seem, and as the curse tightens its grip on Jaskier, Geralt is forced to face the fear of failing yet another person whose choices were stolen from them.
Or-
Jaskier is kept from becoming a bard. Geralt finds him anyway.

Summary
Arthur doesn't care much about the popular radio program Dragon's Lonely Hearts until his ex-girlfriend calls in to slag him off and get advice. When he calls in and has an on-air argument with the host, it starts off more than he expected, including meddling friends, overinvolved fans, and maybe love.

Summary
Enjolras has spent pretty much the entire bus ride to the Musain trying to predict how this will go, but the thing that surprises him isn't that Combeferre isn't the first to notice, or that Joly doesn't start spouting something about infant mortality rates and immediately demand that everybody bathe in Purell. No, what startles Enjolras the most is that he manages approximately half a step through the door into the back room where they all meet before Grantaire rattles his glass down on the table in the back that he's taken for his own and drawls, "Is there something you forgot to tell us, Apollo?"
That silences the room, predictably enough. Everyone breaks off their conversations and swivels to stare at him. At him, and at the baby carrier that he's got hooked over one arm.

Summary
Mary Bennet agrees to spend the London season with the newly married Darcys. She discovers that she would still infinitely prefer a book. But hiding in the library at balls and parties is not the solution, as an odd young man keeps turning up there.
“'Miss Bennet', she says. I did not know my Conscience would have such an ordinary name.”
“I am not your conscience, sir,” Mary said, feeling made fun of and annoyed to be shaken out of her reverie for nonsense. “And whimsicality such as this, whilst charming in a child, is not so appealing in a grown man.”
“Wait,” he said. “Do wait. I am so used to speaking in that silly way with silly young women that I quite forgot myself. Please stay and talk a little more.”
(from the prompt "Mary's season in London. Her moralising is a trial to her sisters but in the end she outshines them all.")
ETA Thank you to Prinzenhasserin for helping me bounce around some ideas, and to Burglebezzlement for the offer of betaing!

Summary
The shop door flew open, sending the bell turning over and over with surprising force. A man, tallish and splotchy-faced in anger, strode in and landed in front of Grantaire, just about too close for comfort.
“May I help you?” asked Grantaire, clutching the flower pot he’d nearly dropped.
“I need you,” said the man, blowing a stray strand of hair away from his forehead. “I need you to tell me how to say 'fuck you' in flower.”

The Configuration of Three Points by dannyPURO

Summary
Grantaire loves Combeferre.
It seems almost ridiculous to think it consciously. Of course Grantaire loves Combeferre. That’s a given. Combeferre is probably the best thing that’s ever happened to him in all of his 25 years. Combeferre is sweet and understanding and so, so smart, and sometimes Grantaire has to stop and think about how this is actually his life, now.
Things are going shockingly well, is the thing. It’s been eight months since Combeferre asked him out, and they kiss and fuck and go on dates and cuddle together on the couch in Combeferre and Enjolras’s living room.
Which brings him back to where he was originally going with this.
Enjolras.
The wrench in the plan is Enjolras.
The wrench in the plan is always Enjolras.Bookmarked by WhenWeBleed

Summary
On a hot summer's day in 1832, Enjolras, alone on the barricades and staring down the barrel of far too many muskets, makes the coward's choice. He falls backwards through an open window, eyes clenched shut.
On a hot summer's day in 2019, Grantaire is walking home from work when he bumps into some guy in a fucking waistcoat, of all things.
AKA, the time travel AU, featuring cultural differences, Enjolras learning how to have friends, and Grantaire trying his fucking best.

Summary
Éponine was often told the story of her birth, when she was small, before her parents took the kingdom and lost interest in their eldest child. Azelma was the first born royal, and Gavroche the first prince, but Éponine was the first child, and hoped-for.
When her mother felt the labor pains, the wind was whistling through the treetops, ice freezing on the roads and clouding the windows, the world so cold it hurt to breathe.
“I hope,” her mother said then, looking out the window, like a wish she wanted to come true, like a spell, “that the child is as fierce as this storm, and as wild as the wind.”
A Snow White AU.

Summary
“Why did you think I wouldn’t like you for being gay?” Steve asks gently.
“You’re Captain America.” Eli’s got his teeth clenched and is resolutely looking ahead. “You stand for truth and justice and the American way. You stand for American morals. You stand for…” he shrugs awkwardly. “Not people like me.”
Steve blows the air out of his cheeks slowly, trying to figure out how to keep the anger out of his voice so Eli doesn’t think it’s at him.
Or, Steve comes to terms with his new world, and gains some children in the process.

Summary
The Pevensie children came back. But, that's where the whole problem started, didn't it? The Pevensie 'children' came 'back'. These Kings and Queens are not children and after so many wars and so many years of political dancing, its hard to come to terms with the fact the face you see in the mirror is one you left behind long ago, on an entirely different world then the one that claimed you.
Lucy Pevensie is not a child.
But then, Lucy Pevensie isn't entirely human, either.
Lucy was raised in a world far different then this one and sometimes, people tend to forget that.This is a 4 part fic that looks at how the Pevensie children might have reacted to coming back to England after having ruled Narnia
