    Summary

    Since his release from a seven year nightmare 'experimental medical trial' with the supposed military that cost him an arm, Bucky has been in a downward spiral. Refusing all outside help, he's scraping by on his own when he gets cornered behind a dumpster in an alleyway in Brooklyn, and he thinks it might be the end for him until an overconfident gym-rat in brand name clothing interrupts the fight.

    Summary

    Cullen carries the guilt of his past deeds piled high on his bent head and broad shoulders, working steadfastly for atonement through full devotion to his Inquisition work. There's one death that weighs most heavily on his heart, that of circle mage 'Miss Almithara' --sweet, kind, beautiful, and inexplicably his friend. He's certain he demanded and was granted her death shortly after the Fall of Kinloch Hold.

    So how did he just run into her at a party in Orlais?

    Cullen x Female Elf OC
    Not an Inquisitor romance, though a Dalish mage inquisitor is in the story. Events of Kinloch Hold are a manipulated version of events (not totally canon), events during Inquisition pretty much are.

    Summary

    He carefully removed the gauze covering its upper quadriceps and guided the Soldier into the oversized shower stall. It was capable of performing its own cleansing routines, but this handler had initiated shared showers early in their cohabitation. It was not irregular, except that all previous handlers had used this time for recreational purposes as well. The Captain seemed only to take satisfaction in thoroughly cleansing the body, as one might perform maintenance on a valuable rifle. A fitting comparison, if it had not jammed and misfired today.

    _____________________________

    In which the Soldier tries some new foods, the Captain has a few crises, the Widow pulls some strings, Hawkeye makes a new friend, Iron Man lends a hand, and the Falcon is still Very Done.

    Summary

    ~~ If you're just here for the sex (and welcome, friend), chapters 4, 12, 18, 19 and 27 are for you~~

    After finding out that his father had, shall we say, more than just a hand in the death of the boy he loved, 18-year old Dorian Pavus flees his home with the sole goal of getting as far away from Tevinter as possible, eventually finding himself lost in the inhospitable Frostback Mountains.

    Lucky for him, 19-year old Cullen Rutherford, Templar Recruit, is part of the search party sent out to bring him home. Their fates collide when they are trapped together in a cave deep in the Frostbacks, with only each other to rely on for survival, and enough time to bring them close.

    But the following decade is hard on the two men - Dorian's father completes his blood ritual, leaving his son irreparably changed, and Cullen's time trapped in Kinloch Hold has instilled in him an unwavering hatred for mages. When their paths cross again in the Inquisition, there's little left of the two boys who had fallen in love in the Frostbacks.

    But perhaps they will learn to love and accept one another as they are now, scars and all...

    Summary

    Hawke and Stroud were both saved from the fade, and a very young and very determined Inquisitor recruits Hawke to the Inquisition. After Kirkwall, Hawke hadn't particularly wanted to get involved in anything ever again, but he feels some responsibility for the end of the world and joins up. But there is just one problem - Knight Captain Cullen.

    He remembers every cutting word, every tranquil that can be laid at Cullen's feet. How can the Inquisition trust the man, it is madness and he will protect them from Cullen, as he protected his friends in Kirkwall.

    But Hawke slowly learns that not all in Kirkwall was what he thought and that while Cullen is not a good man, he isn't wholly the villain Hawke thought him. As time passes, he realizes in fact how much he owes to Cullen, and maybe two broken men, can eventually be made near enough whole again.

    Summary

    The asset is programmed not to strike a handler. Not to struggle no matter who is doing what to it. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to shy away when technicians approach torch-first to take it apart and put it back together in the name of science, research, progress. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to object to the mouth guard, the restraints, the chair. Not to beg or plead when it is left empty and hungry in its cryo tube. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to so much as consider harming an operator, the highest of all members of the organization. And...

    And if the silent, liquid fury in the asset’s eyes is any indicator, the asset does not comply.

    (Or: The one where the asset is thawed out during the Chitauri attack on New York, escapes, and goes hunting for revenge with the Avengers hot on the trail.)

    Summary

    The observation takes less than a second, but Rollins is a trained fighter. He immediately seizes the opportunity and starts thrashing to free himself, spitting nearly incoherent defenses that Steve has heard before. The litany is as familiar as breathing and triggers a nauseating flare of familiar disgust.

    They like it. They need it. They don’t mean it when they say ‘no’. It’s just a little fun.

    Doms haven’t changed in over a century.

    Summary

    Summary

    Another post-mountain fic (such fertile grounds they gave us!) Jaskier's father dies and, having just been summarily told to fuck off by Geralt, Jaskier sees no reason not to take up the title of Count de Lettenhove.

    It all just kinda gains its own momentum from there.

    Summary

    While the Witchers wintered at Kaer Mohren, Kaedwen rotted below them. One casualty of that rot was the voice of a bard, taken by a sorceress in the court of a monstrous king and suddenly the Wolves can no longer justify holding themselves apart from politics. Can they break the curse, and if they do, what else might they gain along the way?

    Summary

    Jaskier knows his life will never be a fairy-tale. He's no sweet, charming omega, and a brave alpha knight isn't going to swoop him up and give him an existence filled with wine and roses.

    But, he thinks, staring at the witcher above him, he might have this: a life of death and destiny, heroics and heartbreak. He doesn't particularly care if he has to be a whore to get it.

    Like most things he wants, he grabs it with both hands and refuses to let go.

    Summary

    Jaskier had known about dragons from the songs with their great, swirling eyes and tongues of fire, but he had not known. This was fire made flesh, precious metal given living form.

    So distracted was he by the magnificent creature, Jaskier barely noticed its rider dismount, so it was a shock when he stomped towards them, his snow-white hair half pulled back, half falling on his shoulders, eyes as gold as the sun.

    Summary

    “Hundred crowns and the boy.”

    Geralt opened his mouth to protest but was shocked into silence at a skirmish from the corner as a man was shoved forward, stumbling into the space between the witcher and the merchant. The new arrival stared at the floor, apparently too fearful to even look at a witcher, shoulders cringing and head low.

    “What use have I for a boy?”
     
    Given in payment, a slave is brought to Kaer Morhen to winter with the witchers, scared and silent. Even once he’s been freed it’s a long road to recovery.
