    Summary

    "That lady said I was your son."

    A pause. "Yeah, she did."

    "Ya didn't correct her."

    "There was nothing to correct."

    Or: five times Seb is expected to call Aaron Dad (or times when Seb wants to) and the one time he does.

    Summary

    CoD x MotoGP AU

    xxx

    “We’re ready for you,” a female voice cuts out. Soap turns to go first, leaving the circle and going out ahead of Graves as the Texan moves past them. The look he sends them is venomous, and he even dares blow a kiss in Ghost’s general direction.
    Keegan doesn’t move, and neither does König.
    “Simon?” the Austrian asks.
    “Give me a moment,” Ghost manages to croak out, turning around and looking for that half drunk plastic water bottle with the Repsol Honda logo plastered on it. It’s nowhere to be seen and he panics. He can feel the ash in the back of his throat now, it tastes worse than nicotine and cigarettes, he needs to wash it away or he’s going to-
    “Here, take this,” Keegan finally says, prying Ghost’s clenched fist open and dropping a packet of Ducati Ghosts gum in it. “It’ll get the taste out and clear your sinuses, it’s mint. We’ll hold them off for a bit.”

    Summary

    Warmth filled his chest at the prospect of the future. Once he had thought the job was his life; probably because it actually had been. He had resigned himself to an early, violent death on a battlefield. Recently, he had started accepting the chance at the opposite.

    Like the fresh buds on the trees rushing past the car window, Price felt a new start coming with spring.

     

    Soap and Ghost are forced out of retirement when Price goes MIA.

    Soap is physically affectionate by nature.

    Ghost is not.

    Johnny might just be rubbing off on him though.

    Summary

    And there’s a pattern to his exhales that Johnny knows well enough to read as: I don’t deserve you. I don’t deserve to say it too.
    But he lets Simon hold him like that, his face pressed against the side of his temple, breathing in the scent of his hair, arms cradling and tightening simultaneously, as if Johnny is both the most precious and most dangerous thing in the living room.

    Summary

    Soap didn’t hate dogs.

    His own instance of ‘Quite the opposite’.

    If he told people he didn’t like dogs, and that he didn’t have any opinions on things other people thought were like dogs, it was only because it was easier that way. Especially once everything had well and truly gone to shit.

    Summary

    “That in there, Sergeant, is the original Death. Shepherd is nothing more than an impostor.”
    The words fall heavy on Soap’s shoulders, as if they weigh more than they should and his breath catches in his throat.
    “That’s not true,” Soap says, his hand going to his neck, searching for the pendant of the Shepherd which he had torn off his neck months ago and thrown across the room. “Shepherd and his Beast are those who take us to the next world. Their Reapers help them,” he says, almost reciting, as his eyes go over to the two Reapers in the room. They’re not really moving, neither seemingly willing to break the spell.

    or

    that Ghost is the Fallen God of Death story.

    Summary

    “Look at me.”

    “No.” Ghost responds quickly, breathes out the syllable as if it hurts him to say. Soap can picture the way his eyes must squeeze shut.

    “Why?”

    “‘Fraid of what you’ll see.”

    There’s a feeling in his chest, buried deep within his rib cage and the meatiness of his heart. It feels like a stab, a bullet wound, a fist around him, squeezing and squeezing and squeezing. “Not afraid of you, Lt..”

    The shake of Ghost’s head is abrupt. It jostles Soap’s hand, and he adjusts by shifting it down, touching the heel of his palm to the space between his shoulder blades. “‘Fraid of how I’ll look at you,” Ghost clarifies.

    Soap takes another shuffling step forward, their bodies almost touching. “How are you gonna look at me?”

    “Like a dying man looks at water.”

    or;

    In which Soap tries to save Ghost.

    Summary

    Ghost didn't trust Soap, couldn't know for certain what a year and a half of forced fighting in the pits did to something as volatile as a Wolf. But Price insisted that the man may have valuable intel, might be enough to finally bring down the Fighting Ring where they'd found him.

    So Ghost watched and waited as the others let themselves be fooled by the charming stranger.

    Ghost wouldn't be so easily swayed.

    Summary

    When Jaskier finally has no more delays as an excuse, he swaggers over and drapes himself over the bench opposite the witcher, taking a long swig of his drink and studying the man across from him over the rim. The cider is almost painfully bad, acidic and aggressively alcoholic. Still, he appreciates it for the distraction it is from everything he’s trying very hard not to feel. He tries to look at the witcher with a stranger’s eyes, wondering if he would still love him despite all of the pain if he’d never known about the beautiful heart behind that handsome face.

    Annoyingly, the answer is “yeah, probably.”

    Surprisingly, Geralt speaks first.

    “Jaskier, listen, I want to-”

    “Sorry,” Jaskier interrupts, summoning all of the arrogance an upbringing like his can instill, “have we met before?” As approaches go, it’s fairly juvenile, but from Jaskier’s experience, there are few barbs more cutting than being forgotten entirely. He doubts Geralt will actually entertain the bit for any length of time, but it’s deeply satisfying to say.

     

    (being the petty bitch he is, jaskier pretends not to know geralt) (is it really HIS fault if geralt believes him??)

    Summary

    Jaskier, oblivious to Geralt’s struggle, is quiet as Borch leaves, but it’s not like it matters; his heartbeat alone would have been enough to tip Geralt off. It’s almost deafening this morning, a portent of doom.

    Geralt should send him away. He owes Jaskier this, he thinks; owes it to him to keep him safe – keep him alive – even if he hates Geralt for it. One last wish, carefully worded and utterly false, and he’d be on his way to safety. Geralt would shadow him to make sure no trouble would befall him on the way, unseen, and then leave him to a normal life, to father a child or two, to raise his legacy.

    The very thought makes him want to throw up.


    Geralt makes a different decision after Yennefer leaves him after the dragon hunt. It changes things, though they get worse before they get better.

    Summary

    “Earlier, I was thinking of how much Kaer Morhen means to you all.” He tucks a strand behind Geralt’s ear. “How this is your home, even if only for a season— it’s where you come to rest when your bones are tired and your heart is heavy.”

    “I think that’s too poetic for us.”

    Jaskier snorts. “You know what I mean, though.” Geralt nods. “I’ve never— I’ve never had that. I’m not having a pity party about it either, it’s just… I’ve never found a place that made me feel at home. I think this— I think Kaer Morhen’s the closest thing I have to it.”

     

    Or, being at Kaer Morhen for the winter brings Jaskier to realize a few things.

    Summary

    “Why do you never just roll over and sleep like most men?”

    With that, Geralt shifts on his side, finally facing Jaskier, his cheeks dusted with pink and his eyes sated. White hair pools on the pillow like molten silver.

    “Well.” Jaskier mirrors Geralt’s pose so they are face to face. “Most men are terribly rude.”

    Summary

    So,” Jaskier begins, as casually as he can, “you are telling me, that in theory, if I were to be in love with someone — anyone — that person could well be in terrible danger?” 

    ---

    Of all terrible and ridiculous things that have threatened Geralt’s safety, Jaskier’d never thought that loving him might be what will get him killed.

    Summary

    Humans, through their vile curses and pogroms on Witcher settlements, drove the only ones who would help them run monsters away from their kingdoms back to their keeps. One of the elder Witchers, Vesemir, called together Witchers of any School to join him in Kaer Morhen. Wolves and Cats and Griffins and Vipers could shelter in the crumbling walls of Kaer Morhen while the Continent beyond the mountain slowly fell apart.

    Desperate to get Witchers back into their kingdoms to rid themselves of monsters, an offer is made; kings and queens of the Continent will let Witchers return to their kingdoms and walk through them with free passage, if the Witchers of Kaer Morhen are given an assurance that no harm will come to them while they're outside the reach of the mountain.

    Their assurance comes in the form of a prince offered up in marriage to the White Wolf, appointed King of the Witchers.

    Summary

    Jaskier spends several years healing after Geralt turns him away on the mountainside, and his fragile heart is finally piecing itself back together. He keeps returning to Posada every year for reasons unknown even to him, but everything's fine. Who needs Geralt, right? The betrayal will fade eventually. The feelings too. The bitter, raw feelings... and then he runs into another Witcher in the same damn tavern. He even looks like Geralt. But instead of a walking bulwark of brooding silence, he meets a man with an open smile, kind eyes and a laugh that warms his very soul. Another few chance meetings and Jaskier finds himself inextricably drawn into Eskel's orbit. I mean, they have so much in common, including a deep, relentless yearning for a tall, brooding Witcher with hair the colour of moonlight.

     

    All characters in this series are their game versions, with the exception of Jaskier who is an amalgamation of all with a heavy sprinkling of fanon lore. I have used "The Witcher - All Media Types", but with the exception of the jumping off point, this series uses lore from books, games, Gwent and TTRPG only.
