    Summary

    Jaskier is finally free. After so long trapped in a form not his own he had begun to doubt which was his true self. But here he is, unshackled. The betrayals, violence, abandonment- the destruction his family wrought upon themselves and others, all of it left far behind. Jaskier is determined to enjoy this second chance. To bask in the beauty of life and ignore what horrors linger. Then he meets Geralt and things become complicated.

    “They don’t exist.”

    “Pardon?” The bard’s brown hair flops as he tilts his head.

    Geralt bravely doesn’t sigh again. “The monsters in your songs. They don’t exist.”

    For some reason that gets him a grin, “How do you know?”

    Geralt stares at him.

    “I’m a Witcher.”

    The bard laughs, “So just because you’ve never seen them that means they don’t exist?”

    “Yes.” Geralt says flatly.

    “Agree to disagree.” The man says flippantly, “But I would love to hear more about the monsters you’ve fought.”

    “No.” Geralt takes a drink desperately and finds he is almost at the bottom of his tankard. He contemplates whether it’s worth the coin for another. Probably not.

    Summary

    When Ethan was fourteen, his world went up in flames. When he was fourteen, he took his mother's gun and escaped the city with a wagon of other survivors who knew better than to betray their names or faces to the smiling people in uniforms who claimed to be aid workers. He learned early that help is not always help, and that people are rarely who they claim to be, or even who they think they are.

    He learned early not to let anyone else decide for him the difference between monsters willing and monsters made.

     
    (Or, Ethan Winters, instinctive parent, Raccoon City survivor, and That Guy who the Gods just cannot seem to let die, does not kill the severely abused, mentally ill child bioweapon he finds in Louisiana. Instead, he takes her, and runs. To say this changes things is an understatement.)
