Summary
Geralt of Rivia is not a witcher.
He’d chosen to disguise himself as a witcher in an attempt to bring something more to his life, to find the contentment he so desperately desires. But as much as life on the Path thrills him, there’s still something missing - until Jaskier.
Jaskier brings so much light into his life with his songs and laughter, treating Geralt without fear, with kindness and gentleness - he’s like no one else Geralt has ever met, and Geralt can’t help but be drawn into his irresistible orbit.
What he doesn’t know is that Jaskier is hiding secrets of his own.
Or: Neither Geralt nor Jaskier are who they seem, and secrets are brought to light when Geralt’s family is threatened and Jaskier is the only one who can help.

Summary
“Thank you for giving me my flower back!” the girl exclaims when Yennefer hands her the flower, beaming brightly at Yennefer. “It's nice to meet you. My name is Triss!”
“I'm Yennefer,” Yennefer mumbles, curling her shoulders inwards, bracing herself for the inevitable disgust and hatred when Triss sees her crooked spine, but Triss only smiles at her, bright and warm, and Yennefer doesn’t understand. Why doesn't Triss flinch away from her like all the other children do?
“You seem lonely, Yennefer. Do you want to be friends?”
A friend. Yennefer's never had a friend before. She wonders what it’s like, whether Triss will be nice to her, whether Triss will stay by her side, and gods, she wants to be Triss' friend, to play and chatter and laugh with her, something Yennefer has never gotten to do with other children.
Or: Yennefer and Triss meet when they're children, only to be torn apart a decade later, and they spend decades thinking that the other is dead. But one day, when a sorceress of Aretuza saves a witcher of Kaer Seren, Yennefer wonders why this witcher looks so familiar. But Triss is dead, isn't she?

Summary
Geralt looks at the witcher, looks at him properly, looks past the silver hair and golden eyes and scars and blood, and the face he sees -
It’s impossible. It can’t be.
Because Jaskier is dead.
But somehow, this witcher in front of him has Jaskier’s face, and Geralt takes a shaky step towards the ghost in front of him, trembling so much that he drops his sword. “Ja - he’s dead. I saw his body. You can’t - you can’t be him.”
Or: After his outburst on the mountain, Geralt arrives too late to save Jaskier from a bloody death. A year later, he and Ciri are saved by a witcher who is painfully familiar, bearing the face of a dead bard. After he reunites with Jaskier, Geralt has to regain his trust, slowly showing Jaskier that he truly cares.

Summary
The first time they meet, Triss knows that Yennefer is her soulmate. But Yennefer has Ascended, and sorceresses don’t have soulmates - the Ascension takes their soulbond away from them.
So Triss tucks this secret into the depths of her heart, and through the decades, Triss and Yennefer grow close until they’re best friends. There’s a hollow absence in Triss now that the Ascension has taken her bond, but Yennefer stays by her side, and that’s more than enough.
(Still, Triss falls a little in love with Yennefer, with the kindness behind her sharp smiles, with the fierce glint of determination in her eyes, with the gentle way she holds Triss in her arms. But Yennefer doesn’t love her the same way, doesn’t think Triss loves her that way, and Triss can’t ever have her, can she?)
*
Decades later, in Rinde, a witcher makes a wish, and a bond is forged. At that same moment, in Temeria, Triss falls to her knees as her soul is cleaved in two, and her bond with Yennefer breaks.

Summary
“Jaskier,” Geralt breathes out, checking Jaskier’s body for injuries, relieved to find none. “Are you alright?”
Jaskier opens his mouth to respond, but -Nothing comes out.
Geralt’s heart drops. Jaskier opens his mouth again, his lips moving, but no sound comes out, and Geralt watches helplessly as Jaskier’s face fills with an indescribable fear, the putrid scent of utter panic filling the air.
Fuck. Whatever the mage had done, whatever that magic had been - Jaskier has lost his voice.
Or: Geralt and Jaskier reunite after the dragon hunt - but something is different. Their dynamic has changed, and it changes even more when Jaskier is cursed to lose his voice. Wallowing in guilt, thinking that it’s his fault, Geralt scrambles to find a cure.
