Summary
If I were a dragon, I might also feel relaxed. If I had talons, the ability to breathe fire. If I no longer existed.
(Rivka Galchen, Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch)
Geralt has struggled with what he is and what he wants for a long time. In Rivia, he makes a decision. In Rivia, the struggle ends. He thinks he knows how. But he’s wrong, twice over.
Ciri makes a decision too, to live her own life. Yennefer tries to help her, and so does Jaskier.

For the prompt consequence.

Summary
Forgiveness is a word like tiger - there’s footage of it and verifiably it exists but few of us have seen it close and wild or known it for what it is. (Jeanette Winterson, The Gap of Time)
A few months after Charlestown, Flint finds out that Thomas is alive. This is, by all accounts, terrible timing.

It's Fine. It's Always Fine. (Even When It's Not) by LivingInATimeOf_Ships

Summary
"That's fine, too. He ignores it when his hands begin to shake and his fingertips grow cold. He nearly falls from the rigging one day after stretching too far, black dots scattering across his vision, and Izzy catches himself just in time. No one sees. He stares down at the deck below, where everyone is resting in the warm sun, and wonders if it would really have been so bad to let himself fall. To break into a thousand tiny shards across the surface of the deck he swabs multiple times a day.
The deck would be so easy a death, he decides, staring down at it longingly. So simple, to just let his fingers slip. They would all think it was an accident. He doubts they'd even wait for his body to cool before dumping him over the side.
His fingers twitch on the ropes. He sighs heavily, tucking his face into them, breathing in the scent of salt air and tar."
Izzy experiences the piratical version of rejection sensitive dysphoria. It will be ok. Heavy on the angst.

Summary
He had been conflicted when he went to examine Ed’s body because Stede had begged him to search for signs of life. Roach may not have been an actual doctor, but he put his all into helping people in every way that he could. He took the health of his crew very seriously. But Blackbeard—The Kraken, he’d heard Jim mutter—was not Roach’s crew.
He had been the captain, far more responsible for the crew’s welfare than Roach. He had ordered Izzy and Ivan to maroon him with half of the others. Roach’s responsibility to care for him ended the moment the Revenge sailed away from that little quay.
But Stede asked, and he was Roach’s captain once again. So he checked for every sign of life he could. No breath. No pulse. Blackbeard’s forehead was cool to the touch, too cool. Roach checked every pulse point he knew. Nothing. Blackbeard wasn’t coming back from this one.
Or; What if Ed had really died for real instead of all that gravy basket nonsense.
