Summary
In which Luthien exercises a bit too much power when verbally bitch slapping Sauron out of Tol-in-Gaurhoth. This might not be Elrond’s worst day ever, but it’s certainly less than his favorite.
OR
The House of Finwë are the middle-aged white women to Elrond’s small feral peredhel in that Finwë was not white, none of his descendants in question are women, most of them are old as dirt, and Elrond is, uh, not that small? Adoption noises ensue.

Summary
In the Time of the Trees, during the Bliss of Valinor, the young family of Fëanor experience the everyday triumphs and tragedies of life in paradise. But as Fëanor's genius blossoms and his sons grow into their roles in Tirion society, tensions build that will sunder the House of Finwë and drive the House of Fëanor to open rebellion. Please note that this is not the most up-to-date revision of this work; see the Silmarillion Writers' Guild for the most completed revision until I get the opportunity to update the chapters here after the HASA migration.

Summary
“That’s not… the guard would’ve sent out warnings if it were a vampire.” Valdo said.
Jaskier– as a would-be bard– was a practiced hand at smug hypocrisy. He delivered the comment as though he himself hadn’t only put things together when Geralt spelled them out in his letter.
“The guards couldn’t find their own pricks in the dark. Margaret said she was passing by when yesterday’s corpse was being carried out of the western dorms–” Margaret had said no such thing– “-and saw its hand fall out from under the sheet. Emaciated and bone-white–” Jaskier had no fucking idea what the corpse actually looked like. “-like a carcass after draining.” Just pure, wild, weaponized speculation.
(‘There’s a three letter word for that,’ Geralt told him once.)
The other students who’d been milling around their conversation, walking two steps behind or in front as plausible deniability, grew noticeably restless.
Good. Jaskier hoped it spread like wildfire, and that it kept his name attached to it. It was, after all, his husband they were going to need to kill it.

Summary
They were travel companions who kept choosing to stay together. And yet, there was always a distance Jaskier couldn't understand.
Write your songs, bard. It doesn’t affect me either way. Because you don’t know me.
Three years would pass before Jaskier finally figured out what he didn't know.
“Geralt—and when I ask you this question, I really must insist that you answer it truthfully—are you...gods, I don't know how else to say this...are you a fucking wolf?”
Geralt was quiet for a long moment. He didn't turn around. “Sometimes,” he grumbled.

Summary
Essek has barely begun to cement his place in Caleb’s life when they bring Mollymauk Tealeaf back from the dead. Slowly, the three of them adapt together.
He would have scoffed at this, once upon a time. But now he kisses Caleb with something close to reckless abandon, breaking boundaries between the three of them again as Caleb has Mollymauk pinned to the bed, and Essek is leaning over him to kiss their wizard in question.
The three of them are well and truly connected. Light, he should be uncertain, but he is not.

Summary
“How old are you, anyway?”
Yellow eyes flicked wryly up to him. “Old enough to be more than your father, pup. C’mon, start putting your shit away.” The witcher stood, gathering their first pile of things— for the desk and its drawers— and neatly depositing them.
“That’s not a number.” The bard smiled sweetly, eyes narrow, in the way Geralt said made him look like a little butcherbird: darling but violent-minded. “Don’t get shy now; you don’t look a day over seventy, dear-heart.”
Geralt reached over and tugged his earlobe for the impertinence. “Cheeky, but close.”
Jaskier laughed. Everything but his husband’s white hair looked to be late-thirties, perhaps forty; an excruciatingly fit, well-kept forty, but the shallow lines in his face and the fullness of his physique gave him away somewhat.
“Fifty? Fifty-five? I’m not going to catch a case of the vapors, Geralt.” Jaskier made a point to keep his expression playful, despite the flush of embarrassment that crawled up his neck to color his face. He liked it, and Geralt knew that he liked it, so there was no shame in discussing it. Particularly when it kept the conversation away from why he liked it.

Summary
"Hey, hey, relax. Look, it's totally normal to like how the needle feels, lots of people do. Even erections are pretty common. I've never had this happen before, but it makes perfect sense. Please just relax."
"I- I can't-"
Jaskier bit his lip. "Look, I can- I can take care of you, after. Purely in a professional capacity. I need you to relax, I can't work when you're hyperventilating. Please just stop fighting it. I won't let you drop, I promise."

Summary
Jaskier gawps at the stubbled, square-jawed specimen of gorgeous manhood at his door for a full three seconds before his brain comes online, and then he scowls. “Seriously? She’s sending me strippers now?”
Tall, Pale and Possibly Homicidal arches an eyebrow at him. “Detective Rivia,” he says, flashing one of those really fancy badges that Jaskier has seen serious LARPers use. “NYPD.”
“Bloody hell. She sent me a cop-stripper?!”

Jaskier rolled his shoulders back. The blade was a bit long for his taste, but it handled well. “I’ve been in the habit of trading barbs, not blows.”

A Song About Pirates by clockworkouroboros
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, The Witcher (TV), Wiedźmin | The Witcher Series - Andrzej Sapkowski
09 Jul 2020
Tags
Summary
Jaskier decided — and it really doesn’t matter why, honestly it doesn’t, he’d rather not talk about it, but that’s because it’s so boring, honestly — that it would be a good idea to book passage on a merchant ship. The sea air would do him good, and besides, he’d be able to write some wonderful songs while onboard.
He really wasn’t planning on being taken prisoner by pirates. Especially not the most famous, feared pirate sailing the seas: the White Wolf.(Title taken from the lyrics of Not Yet/Love Run by The Amazing Devil.)
