    Summary

    Jaskier is throwing up flowers and refuses to tell Geralt who has afflicted him so. As Geralt grapples with Jaskier's impending death, he comes to terms with a few things himself.

    //

    “Who’s the unlucky woman?” Geralt asks, stepping into the firelight. 

    Jaskier starts, dandelions spilling from his hands. He hastily brushes them away. “Gods, Geralt, must you always sneak up on me? This is why you have an image problem, you know. Don’t get me wrong, the whole tall, dark, and murderous vibe is fantastic -- really brings out the color of your eyes -- but the skulking tips you firmly into the realm of, well, somewhat unhinged.” 

    Geralt only glares at Jaskier, waiting for him to tire himself out, and sets about roasting the fowl.

    “Anyway, killing my beloved won’t cure me,” Jaskier continues blithely, “so don’t even think about it. Not all problems can be solved by whacking away at them with those oversized butter knives you carry around.” He settles cross-legged next to the fire with his lute balanced across his knees and strums a few chords.

    Summary

    “This drink, the mage made it. It is going to make you a good boy,” she brushed back his hair, too long nails trailing along his cheek. “But you cannot tell anyone. You cannot tell a soul about this drink or this spell. You don’t talk about it. You keep it secret.”

     

    Julian opened his mouth to ask more and was hit by a pain he had never experienced. The boy cried out in pain and doubled over, arm wrapping around his screaming middle. His mother shushed him and pet at him until he was able to catch his breath.

     

    “See what happens to naughty little boys who don’t listen?” Her voice was sharp. “I told you not to say anything.”

    --

    Jaskier was cursed with obedience as a child and has mostly learned to get by without others knowing. Geralt is not most people.

    Summary

    “Are you going t—” Esther cut herself off, face falling in confusion, one eyebrow raised. “Abaddon?" she asked in a lower tone.

    But the boy stood still, head turned, staring at the front desk. His eyes were squinted with suspicion. The flicked between the man, to Katherine who realised he was staring and returned the eye contact with a confused expression.
    The man’s head turned. And Abaddon’s suspicion was confirmed. The white square on his collar confirmed his assumption…the man was a priest.

    -

    A priest books into the Hotel…you know the one where a demon possessing a little colonial boy lives? What could go wrong?

    This is trash I know…

    Summary

    He kicks at her, wriggling, trying to free himself from her grasp. Curse this stupid vessel and its laughably weak upper-body strength! He bites down on her arm—and that's it, she thinks. She's a good mother. She's never laid a hand upon her own children, and she likes to believe she's never even considered it. She doesn't even think she's hit Abaddon until the redness in his skin becomes impossible to ignore; it's a stark comparison to the rest of his deathly pale skin. It reminds her of blood splattered on snow.

    Summary

    He hiccups, sputtering as water spills from his mouth and nose—anything to get it out, to get himself out. He just needs to be anywhere but that room again.

    He bolts from the tub, snatching his clothes in a trembling handful and hurling himself toward the nearest vent. Katherine doesn’t follow, doesn’t even move to stop him—but he scrambles faster anyway, as if she might change her mind.

    Later, when the panic ebbs into a cold, sour shame, he curses himself for being so pathetic. The matriarch will think there’s something wrong with him—when it’s the vessel that’s broken. He hates it: the flesh that binds him, the nerves that twitch and tremble without his consent. It doesn’t listen. It never has.

    Summary

    Katherine has cleaned up worse messes in the Haunted Hotel, but none that smell quite like this. After another of Esther’s “experiments” leaves Abaddon caked in dirt and dried blood, Katherine decides enough is enough — he’s getting a bath whether he likes it or not.

    “You could at least look less offended,” she said after a moment.

    “I’m a demon being washed by a human,” he murmured. “There’s no correct expression for that.”

    She snorted. “Gratitude would do.”

    Summary

    Owen isn't an idiot. He knows that if Scott finds out he's basically a newborn in vampire terms, he's going to take the easy meal and kill him. So, he lied-said he had been alive 200 years instead of in a state of unconciousness for 200 years. Hopefully Scott buys it.

    Scott knows Owen is full of bullshit. No Sire would let a fledgling that young out of their sight at 200 years old, let alone out here. He thinks he's roughly 300, and is lying to make himself look like less of a threat.

    Scott and Owen have a truce-they both stay out of each other's business and don't kill any humans. But for some reason, Owen is so, so hungry. And animal blood isn't cutting it.

    Scott, on the other hand, is a little concerned at how bad at vampirism Owen is.

    “So can we keep him?”

    ‘Grunkle Stan’ sighs heavily. “Kid, he’s literally a lump on the ground.”

    “So? We’ve all been lumps on the ground at one point or another,” Mabel counters, which is a very good point in Jon’s opinion.

    Summary

    There’s three things you need to know about David: he loves Camp Campbell, despite the number of oddballs it attracts, he loves his campers, even if they drive him up the wall, and he’d never wanted to kill anyone. It’s a shame no one believes him. After all, there’s a darker force at play at Camp Campbell, and David could use a little back-up.

    Summary

    “Max,” he enunciated, planting a hand over his chest with a thump, “Max.”

    The next line of surprised nonsense had something that could be interpreted as ‘mack-suh’ tacked on to the end, but the man had mirrored the gesture.

    “No! I’m Max,” he reached out and grabbed the man’s hand this time, pressing it against his chest, “My name is Max, you dumb fuck.”

    The man stared at his hand, then at Max, and eventually a single syllable fell out of his mouth: “Max.”

    Holy shit.
    --------------------------------
    Max has been abducted by aliens. After being passed from ship to ship, he meets another human.
    Alternatively, David is not actually a human. He has no idea what to do with this strange, violent being he's been put in charge of.

    Summary

    There’s a pause, and then Wednesday speaks again. “I admit that I do have one ulterior motive in asking you to visit for the holidays.”

    Enid laughs, unsurprised; there’s the Wednesday she knows, even a phone line and a coast away. “Yeah? What is it?”

    “I told my parents that I’m in a relationship,” Wednesday says, offhand, like it’s just another sentence and not a lightning strike to Enid’s heart. "With you, specifically."

    Wednesday is tormented by glimpses of parallel universes in which she is sickeningly in love with her roommate. (Which she isn't, of course.)
    -
    Wednesday refused to look at Enid. She wasn’t sure what would happen to her if she did — whether she was so raw and vulnerable right now, magic still thrumming through her system like a heartbeat, that she would launch into another vision, or if she would blurt something humiliating, like: “I actually like kissing you in my head, and have been doing so with increasing frequency.”

    Enid is a college student just trying to get to the end of the semester. Wednesday is the vampire who accosts her in a dark alley. Apparently, something is wrong with the taste of Enid’s blood, and Wednesday won't leave her alone until she sees a doctor.
    -
    The next thing Enid was aware of was the sound of retching. She wrinkled her nose. The shadowy figure was bent at the waist a few feet away, both hands clutching its stomach.

    “Um,” she said. “I literally can’t believe I’m asking this, but are you okay?”

    “Puppy has somewhere she can go potty.” She said slyly and started petting her.
    “Where?” Wednesday asked confused before she felt it, a warm trickle inside her. Her breath caught in her throat.
    “Puppy can go potty in this nice toilet here.” Enid moaned.

    There is a man in the compound, someone Bob has never seen before. Golden skin, crinkles beside dark brown eyes, and hair that curls just above his eyebrows. He is a very pretty man, but he is also a stranger, and Bucky had told him in no uncertain terms to press the panic button immediately if a stranger ever broke in.

    When Matt was nine years old, he would listen to his father’s heartbeat in one ear and the sound of sirens in the other, and he would feel so alone that he might as well be the man on the goddamn moon.
