Summary
It was supposed to be a simple job.
Get in. Free a cultist. Get out.
Vex never expected this.
She never expected to see the man she'd thought dead for five years.
And suddenly, she's transported back to the young woman she'd been all those years ago, pushed into an arranged marriage for her father's benefit.
She thought her husband had died years ago...and yet, here he is.
---
A look at the arranged marriage of Percival and Vex'ahlia, years before Vox Machina crossed paths.

Summary
In Alderwyn, pretty wives are meant to be ornaments: silent at dinners, dutiful in bed, grateful for the hands that own them. For years, five young women have lived as trophies on mantels and ghosts in their own homes.
But scandal travels faster than carriages. A baron falls to laudanum and lies, forged paintings whisper truths in gilded frames, and a war hero’s violence leaks through polished doors. Into these fault lines step five very different men: a widowed physician with a healer’s hands, a charlatan who only takes what is offered, a spy who sees everything, an artist who refuses to paint ghosts, and a soldier who won’t return a woman to the man who breaks her.
Each novella in this series follows one trapped wife and the unlikely ally who helps her reclaim more than just her freedom. Their stories interlace in courtrooms and salons, in secret letters and hidden symbols, weaving a quiet network that begins to reshape Alderwyn from the inside out—each residence becoming a waypoint in a shared map of resistance.

Summary
Notorious con artist Jonathan Carnahan, battered and broke from his latest scam, is offered a last chance deal by the Egyptian and British governments. In exchange for discharging all his debts, forgetting his many crimes, and assuring him his dear sister might continue to work between her two dearest nations, he must do the Establishment a favour.
Their own particular thorn in their sides are the secretive, desert-dwelling, irritatingly powerful Twelve Tribes of the Medjai, who have demanded a bridegroom for their stoic Medjai chief Ardeth Bay. Jonathan supposes he will just have to obediently ride a blasted camel out into the desert and put up with some hanky panky for a bit, then run away with an interesting relic as a souvenir - but Ardeth's unexpected gentleness and fierce protectiveness unravel all his plans.

The wedding’s going to be tonight, presumably so no one involved has time to get cold feet, which gives Geralt just enough time to clean up and get the dirt off his armor and overthink every tiny little detail of this arrangement.

Summary
“The only solution is a united front,” Yennefer says. When this just prompts blank expressions, she sighs. “Honestly, do I have to spell it out? I mean the two of you should get married.”
Geralt stares at her. Jaskier’s mouth drops open. Tissaia says, thoughtfully, “that could actually work.”
“No it couldn’t!” Jaskier says, loud and shrill.
After Calanthe and Eist are killed, the fate of Cintra hangs in the balance. The only solution is an alliance between two men: the witcher Geralt of Rivia, bound to the princess by the Law of Surprise, and Cirilla’s uncle Julian, better known as Jaskier the bard.

Summary
The V-Day virus has devastated Regency England, but its cost comes not in lives, but fertility. Faced with the possibility of being wiped out within a single generation, Parliament takes drastic action. New laws restrict inheritance, from land to noble titles to the throne itself, to those who can reproduce. More, the newly crowned Henry IX - formerly Lord Harry Hart - must provide the kingdom with an heir as soon as possible. To do so, he must work his way down a Register of Fertile Omegas, spending a year with each in the hopes of securing the succession as soon as possible.
Eggsy Unwin is next on the Register...
