Summary
"I missed you, too," Kai murmured, pressing a kiss to her scalp. For a moment, there was silence. Then, a cheeky question: "Are you going to invite me in?"
Amelia wasn't going to be asked twice. "Yes, sorry," she replied, making room for Kai to enter the room, but never letting go of their hand.
Her stomach was fluttering with anticipation, but mostly, she felt relief.
"You're actually here," she said, almost in disbelief.
A long-awaited reunion with some much-needed tension relief.

this is a complicated love [i've seen where this goes] by deeplywornletters

Summary
When Jaskier realizes his true feelings for Geralt after his near-death encounter with the Djinn, it is like a seed has taken root inside him. That, and a mysterious cough he just can’t shake.
Will the Witcher eventually return the bard’s affection, or is Jaskier bound to die, rotting from the inside out as love slowly kills him?

Summary
Phillip would have recognised the rhythm of those steps anywhere, and he rushed to the hallway as fast as his feet would carry him.
There stood Benoit, his suitcase beside him, looking at him with a sheepish smile on his face. He looked just like when he had left, and Phillip let out a subconscious sigh when he wasn’t able to spot any visible injuries, but he was considerably tanner than when he had last seen him a few days ago. Damn southerners and their ability to get tan instead of looking like a boiled lobster after a few minutes in the sun.
“You’re back,” Phillip said.
“Honey, I’m home,” was Benoit’s response before kicking the door shut behind him with his foot and closing the distance between them, pulling Phillip in close for a hug.
For a moment, no one said anything, simply enjoying the other’s presence and comfort.
When Benoit returns from his latest case, he has a much-needed conversation with his husband.

Summary
Maybe it’s time to say something.
He didn’t remember writing this consciously, but the words were there, the ink still wet to the touch and bleeding a bit into the paper.
Maybe it was time to say something. And maybe it was the summer heat making him delirious, the next source of water still a few hours away. And maybe it was the fact that a decade was enough time spent waiting, hoping, second-guessing. Maybe.
But along all those things, there was one certainty, had been for a while now:
“Geralt, I know that you’re in love with me.”
On a hot summer day on the side of the road, Jaskier decides to do what he does best: speak his mind.

Summary
"Didn't expect running into you here this time of day."
The words were soft and low, and Jaskier would have recognized that voice anywhere, even if he had forgotten everything else. Would have recognized its velvety deepness, the way it got hoarse right after waking up and guttural with anger—
Somehow, he restrained himself from throwing his glass against the wall then and there. Instead, he said nothing, just staring straight ahead.
A single word coming out of his mouth would have already been too much.
"I see," Geralt said after what felt like an eternity.
"I apologize, I didn't mean to intrude. I'll leave you be, just try and get home safe."
With that, he turned to get up, and something in Jaskier broke.
Geralt and Jaskier were lovers, and then they weren't. What happens when they run into each other again?

Summary
"So," he started, voice nonchalant, "when are you going to talk to him?"
Hotch only stared at him, an unreadable expression on his face.
"Aaron, it doesn't take a profiler to see that you have more than a soft spot for sleeping angel here."
At that, Hotch turned his head to look at Reid, careful not to wake him. The faintest of smiles played around his lips — most people would have missed it as it was gone before it had really appeared. But David Rossi wasn't most people, and that look was all he needed to confirm his suspicions.
"Don't," he said before Hotch even had a chance to start talking. "You're his boss; you're older than him; you have to think about the team... So what?"
On a plane ride home, Dave decides to take matters into his own hands. Someone has to, after all.

Summary
Somehow, though, Reid felt comfortable with Hotch touching them.
Derek furrowed his brows, trying to remember if maybe they had started hanging out more lately, but quickly dismissed that thought.
Aaron Hotchner wasn't one to "hang out" with anyone, much less his own agents. He always tried keeping a strict work-life balance, as difficult as being a part of this team made that.
Derek tried coming up with another explanation as to why Reid would be okay with that sort of physical contact.
If it were anybody else, Derek's answer would have been simple: flirting.
On their way home from a case, Derek witnesses what seems to be innocent gesture. But is that really all there is to it?

Summary
"You should try and get some sleep. So you can be well-rested for him tomorrow morning."
Hotch let out a sigh in response.
"And forgive me for possibly saying too much, but he knows,” Spencer continued, “Jack knows that his dad loves him, Aaron."
Emily could barely hold in a gasp.
"Thank you, Spencer. I appreciate it."
Only silence followed afterwards, and the conversation seemed to be over.
Emily was trying her hardest to uphold her seemingly calm exterior, but on the inside, her wheels were turning as she had more questions than answers.
In which Emily overhears a conversation not meant for her, and she's left trying to figure out what it means.

Summary
A hero.
He let out a bitter laugh as his own words were ringing in his ears, almost as though he was mocking himself. He was no hero.
Right now, on the floor of his hotel room, he was no one. Not a profiler. Not a husband, not a father. And he sure as hell was no hero. Right now, he was only a man falling apart, too weak to hold up the walls he had created around himself, each tear causing another stone to come loose.
His chest felt tight as he tried to take a breath, and yet his heart felt raw, as though he had been ripped open completely and left to bleed out.
Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe the tears, but Hotch only registered that someone had entered his room when he felt a hand on his knee. It was too late to reach for his gun — not that he would have been able to aim in his drunken state anyway. But even so, he made no attempt to fight the intruder, not when he would recognize that voice anywhere.
“Hotch, it’s me.”
Reid.
After not being able to save Evan Abby, Hotch is spiralling as he's trying to deal with the aftermath. An unexpected visitor helps him pick up the pieces of himself.

Summary
There was another gush of wind rustling the leaves of the trees surrounding the garden. It was gone as quickly as it had appeared, and Jaskier was once again left alone in silence, the only noise the bird's chirping and his breath.
That, and someone desperately trying to be as quiet as possible.
He chuckled.
"You can come out, I know that you're there."
He heard a sigh from behind the trees and then someone was approaching him, their steps quick and light even on the slightly muddy ground.
When he stood up and turned around, Yennefer almost bumped into his chest.
"Bard."
"Witch."
Having fled from Kaer Morhen to the coast, Jaskier has built a new life for himself. One day, he gets an unexpected visitor.

Summary
“What happened to you, huh? What happened to you to make you this way? Tell me, Geralt, what the fuck did I do for you to treat me this way?”
He shouldn’t be raising his voice, shouldn’t be yelling.
The look the Witcher gives him breaks Jaskier’s heart into a thousand pieces and suddenly their room feels very, very small. Every inch of his being wants to flee, wants to escape the tension in the air. But not this time. For once, he is going to force Geralt to actually talk to him.
“Do I mean anything to you? Anything at all? Are we even friends? Because day after day you act annoyed by everything I do, even though I try my hardest to help you. Find supplies. Earn money. Help you with your armour. But it’s never enough. I’m never enough.”
In In which Jaskier doesn't wait until Geralt frees him from prison to speak his mind. A conversation set a few weeks aft they have started travelling together.

Summary
He didn’t want to go. He didn’t want it to be winter. And most of all, he didn’t want to dwell on the fact that his heart ached every time he thought of all the months he would have to spend without Geralt.
The dagger had been the final nail in the coffin, or rather, the literal knife to the heart.
He was in love with the Witcher.
Jaskier fell in love every day. With the kind merchant who gifted him a third honey cake for free, or the innkeeper who wanted nothing more than a song in exchange for dinner, or with the Alderman’s daughter who gave him a flower simply because she liked his hair.
Jaskier fell in love every day, over and over again.
He was a bard, and every bard needed love as his muse.
Love was his strength.
Geralt was his biggest weakness.
OR: Geralt is in love with Jaskier. Jaskier is in love with Geralt. Will either of them speak up?

Summary
“It’s been a week.”
Jaskier looks up from his notebook, the pages in front of him still blank even though he has been sitting at the table for the better part of an hour trying to fill them.
“Since I’ve last heard you sing,” Geralt adds, sitting on their bed with a wooden mortar in his hands, currently stocking up on his potions for the next contract.
They had arrived in town last night after having spent a few days on the road, and the pay offered for the head of the cockatrice threatening the townspeople was too good an opportunity to pass on.
Jaskier clears his throat before he answers. It still feels raw, like there’s an itch he can’t scratch.
“What about it?”
Jaskier feels as though he has lost his voice. But is that quite the truth?

Summary
He doesn’t know how long he’s been here for already, unable to take a proper breath, feeling like he’s drowning with the surface always just out of reach. It’s like he is frozen in place, unable to move and just staring straight ahead, though the darkness is making it hard to see anything.
Ah, and the tears aren’t helping, either — adding a silver veil to the few details of the room he can actually make out.
The hand is clenched, hidden underneath the book he tried to distract himself with. Out of sight, out of mind, right?
But Jaskier can’t look away from the pain he’s feeling, the tightness of the skin, the throbbing in his fingers that has been there ever since—
Jaskier falls apart. Yennefer is there to pick up the pieces.

Summary
“Do you really think that I would listen to every single one of your performances if I didn’t like the sound of your voice?”
He’s close now, has leaned forward so that their foreheads are almost touching. Jaskier can feel Geralt’s breath on his face—
“And do you really think I haven’t noticed how your heart rate spikes every time we touch?”
At that, Geralt places his other hand on Jaskier’s cheek and the thunderstorm in his chest proves once and for all what an open book he really is, his own body betraying him even when he keeps his mouth shut.
An innocent question turns into everything Jaskier has ever hoped for.

Summary
Geralt sighs, straightening his shoulders and taking in one last breath to calm himself before he lifts his hand and knocks on the door in front of him.
A muffled “Come in,” is shouted in response and he grabs the door handle and opens it, stepping inside the room. It is warm, wood crackling in the fireplace and casting orange shadows all over the wall.
There are a few candles lit on the table nearby as the only source of light. It should feel cosy. It doesn’t.
“You weren’t at dinner,” Geralt says, states matter-of-factly. You weren’t at dinner and I was worried is what he wants to say. He doesn’t.
“I wasn’t hungry.” Defiance. Anger. Indifference. Jaskier looks at him with tired eyes, the dark circles underneath them even more accentuated by the low light. He’s sat on his bed, legs sprawled out and his back against the wall. Geralt tries to ignore the bottle in his hand, but can’t ignore the smell of wine that is leaking from every one of Jaskier’s pores.
After everything that has happened, Geralt and Jaskier are both broken. A simple question is enough to make them both come undone.

Summary
Oh how she wants to kiss him, wants to cross the distance between them and reach out. Jaskier sees her, and for the first time in a long time, Yennefer wants to be seen.
Just then, the bard turns around to leave her to it, like he does every night.
“Stay,” she says, not letting him.
He stops and turns around, and Yennefer crosses. Step after step after step, until she is standing in front of him, until she can feel his warmth.
“Stay,” she says and brushes her hand against his, the contact sending sparks through her body. She’s on fire, trembling almost, and yet she has never felt so grounded. “Will you wash my hair?”
Yennefer has always loved baths, and it's one of the many things she's missing at Kaer Morhen. Jaskier attempts to change that.

Summary
"Geralt! I didn't expect you to be back so soon, did the hunt go well— Oh by Melitele, what happened to you?"
At that, Geralt finally took a moment to look at the bard. He was sitting at a small wooden desk, a piece of parchment in front of him and a quill in his hand, and he was looking at Geralt like he had just grown a second head.
"Rain," was all he answered, still trying and failing to open the buckles. His fingers were too cold, he couldn't get a grip. He let out a frustrated groan and was about to use his sword to cut the leather straps open when a warm hand covered his.
"Let me," Jaskier offered, and Geralt was more than willing to accept. At this point, he had stopped trying to hide his shivering — not that he would have been able to hide it in front of the bard anyway. He simply let his head hang low as Jaskier worked away, tugging and pulling and then, the armour was finally off, tossed to the side.
Geralt hates being cold. When he comes home from a hunt soaking wet and shivering, a certain bard helps him warm up again.
