Summary
As reticent as he is, Secondo…enjoys you. He allows you to linger after Mass where he encourages others to go about their day, he packs his things more slowly when you do stay so he might entertain your questions. Your enquiries about his personal time don’t seem transactional, and to his retrospective regret, his tongue is looser when it’s you doing the asking. But, he thinks, perhaps that’s as far as it should go. After all, isn’t it better not to want, truly want something? Aren’t you hoisting yourself for a fall?
(Or: Secondo discovers it's your birthday and is a bit more displeased than he expects that you haven't told him.)

Summary
In a slightly different life, Aloy doesn’t take Varl’s advice. She lets him (and others) join her, fight with her, but doesn’t let anyone in.
In a slightly different life, Kotallo still pledges himself to Hekarro’s champion, but it is all duty bound honor, cold as the wind coming down off the Sky Clan mountains.
They fight together like terrors on the field. And off it? They fight each other tooth and claw. Two hurting, closed off outcasts unwilling to admit they need a soft place to land.
Where there's flame, smoke soon follows and both will kill you if you're not careful.

Summary
When Kotallo lost his arm, it was more than just a limb that he had lost. It was his prowess with a bow. It was his utility as a Marshal. His arm was gone, his life a ruin, and nothing would ever be the same.
It did not occur to him that this could be a good thing.
It did not occur to him that he could find new purpose in his life. It did not occur to him that an outlander with hair like blood and a spirit as fierce as blazefire would help him find that purpose.
With Aloy as his witness, Kotallo would find himself again, and nothing would ever be the same.
********************
In other words: a wish fulfillment fic where Aloy and Kotallo fall in love over the course of the game. Canon scenes and dialogue blended and padded out with introspection, cozy conversations, smut, and all the GAIA Gang bonding that we deserved. ❤Series

Summary
"Get up here," he said like it was no big deal.
Jaskier opened his mouth, closed it. "What?" he said eventually.
"You're obviously not going to be able to sleep down there," Geralt said. "The bed is big enough for two."

Summary
“How did you manage,” asked Geralt, with infinite patience and only a desire to know the facts, and not at all a little meanhearted glee, “to insult a sorcerer while his tongue was down your throat?”
“Don’t make me recount the entire sordid affair, Geralt,” said Jaskier, with a surprising note of desperation breaking through his gruff monotone. “I’m already having a rather shit day and all I’ve done so far is wake up.”
“In my body,” said Geralt.
“Yes,” said Jaskier, with the insolent cadence that was unmistakably Jaskier’s, but in Geralt’s voice, emerging from Geralt’s face and frame.
“And I’ve got yours,” said Geralt, from Jaskier’s.

Summary
A sequel to "An Incomplete Happiness." Geralt was injured on a hunt and is still recovering, and Jaskier seems to have assigned himself his willing caretaker and nurse, which leaves Geralt confused and baffled. While they share a room and Geralt recovers, there's an emotional tension building between them, and it seems inevitable that it will find resolution sooner rather than later.
