    Summary

    Neither Yennefer nor Lambert had anything even vaguely resembling a happy childhood. That hasn't changed; sometimes, though, a friendly face can make things seem a little less terrible.

    (Lambert and Yennefer grew up in the same area; they meet for the first time as two sad little kids in a barn, long before Destiny or Witchers or Witches touch their lives.)

    Summary

    Istredd and Geralt had such great chemistry in that one Netflix scene, and it would be a crime not to continue to explore that offscreen in the traditional fandom fashion: Smut.

    Summary

    Zemhyr: the crackship you didn't know you wanted.

    OR:

    When a young cursed prince-fugitive-hedgehog comes across a friendly dwarf camping in the woods while awaiting a letter from his Destined, he takes solace in the presence of the first friendly companionship he's found in years. Decades later, realizations are had, and the Continent's most powerful emporer still remembers the night he learned it was possible for someone to see past his curse after all.

    Summary

    In a world where the White Wolf never slew the monstrous king of Kaedwen, never gathered his brothers and sisters and cousins to form a nigh-undefeatable witcher army, where the phrase "Warlord of the North" is heard only in the most far-fetched novels and fantasies - what would happen to a young noble girl who was engaged to Duke Velen, the king of Redania's violent, lustful, and in all ways repugnant uncle?
    With no merciful warlord's court to flee to, Oliwia Velen, née Bartol, has found herself trapped in a living nightmare, married to a man more monstrous than she could previously have imagined possible. Her husband being the kind of man he is, he has made himself more than a few enemies, and when one of them puts out a reward for his head... well, not all witchers are so picky with their contracts as the Wolves.

    Summary

    Jaskier might be the bard of one wolf witcher in particular, but he's not about to let some mage kidnap another one right in front of him just because he happens to have the medallion of a different school. Unfortunately for him, mages don't tend to take kindly to their Evil Schemes being foiled, but hey, it could be worse, right?

    Summary

    Barnabas-Basil Foulty has never met a witcher before, much less served them as Majordomo. He's understandably nervous to meet his estate's new lord, and the conflicting tales of witcher temperament he's gathered do nothing to ease his anxiety.

    Summary

    Jaskier has dedicated himself to the challenge of pampering his new witcher with all the finer things in life which life has, thus far, so cruelly denied him. Geralt is confused, but he couldn't possibly bear to disappoint him.

    Summary

    A contract leaves Lambert with several extra feline appendages. It's far from the worse curse he's suffered, and he'd hardly be complaining if it weren't for their incredibly inconvenient habit of broadcasting his every emotion to anyone paying attention, rendering his usual defensive snark fairly useless. Unfortunately for all of them, his brothers never knew when to leave well enough alone, and it seems more than a few secrets and old wounds will be brought to light before this nightmare is over.

    Summary

    Human society has many misconceptions about the other species and beings they share the Continent with. Among them is the assumption that all persons of elven descent can be easily identified by their pointed ears, and that round ears are clear proof that one's blood is untainted by the Aen Sidhe.

    Summary

    When Geralt is still yet to arrive at their pre-arranged meeting point several days after he was due, Ciri goes looking for him, knowing he'd never leave her waiting of his own free will. She soon discovers the cause of his absence: the mysterious entity known as Gaunter O'Dimm and Master Mirror. Ciri's ancestral abilities make her uniquely suited for the task of rescuing her dadstiny from this particular trap, though unfortunately she's helpless to erase the days he spent in O'Dimm's twisted reality before she found him.

    Summary

    A short interlude between monster hunts and political turmoil; a bard and his witcher take a moment to rest in a magical meadow, and along the way finally manage to understand all the ways the other has been trying to say "I love you".

    ...Whilst hair, feather, and horn maintenance is a staple in every variety of positive relationship amongst the fae of both the Summer and Winter Courts, many of the Faer Folk, especially amongst the upper ranks of the Courts, use specific rituals within this admittedly broad category to denote distinct sentiments and type of bonds. Some examples include Maiwnsé face paints, which are carefully applied across the upper cheeks, nose, and forehead of someone who the giver sees as a treasured sibling (even, and sometimes especially, if they share no blood), Star-Stone ear cuffs (for more details, see page 147), and certain varieties of braids. Though braiding a companion’s hair, on its own, has no particular connotations, certain styles (for a full list, see Appendix E) and adornments show more specific intentions.

    A single witcher can deal with one leshen if they're lucky. Two Leshi? That's a job for several witchers, and even then, it'll be far from easy.

    Summary

    When Geralt completes a contract for a horse breeder who's just lost most of his coin to the tax collector, he accepts the offer of alternative payment in the form of a new horse for his traveling companion.
    Roach doesn't know what's going on, but that's hardly unusual with these humans; she just hopes they don't get into too much trouble this time.
