    Summary

    “Rowland has recovered from his illness”—Edwin had heard, after receiving a text from the man thanking him for the pot of soup he had dropped off—“and you two will be sent to Minsk to disable the device before it’s set off.”

    “Both of us?” It wasn’t unusual for an agent and their handler to be sent to a location together, particularly when going undercover, but Edwin had never left the tomb of MI6 headquarters on a mission.

    “You expect me to trust someone else with Rowland and this mission?” she returned. Something inside Edwin instinctually balked, and it must have shown on his face. “That’s what I thought.”

    A Sparch (Spy March) oneshot.

    Summary

    It’s been three days, and Charles Rowland is dying.

    “Will you stop squirming, you little menace,” says Edwin, exasperated. “I’m going to miss your femoral artery and then you’ll be sorry.”

    Charles grins. “Oops,” he says. He’s a featherlight, endorphin-flooded creature. It’s hard to feel too sorry. It’s hard to believe that anything bad is ever going to happen again. “Guess you’ll just have to do it again, then, won’t you?”


    Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne, then and now.

    Summary

    “Wait, Father,” Edwin interrupts. “You mustn’t dismiss him. I’ve made my choice regarding my Royal Protector.”

    “You cannot mean—”

    “I do. I wish to name Charles Rowland as my Royal Protector,” Edwin declares, in as princely a voice he has.

    Summary

    Edwin crawled his way out of hell in 1990—too late to comfort Charles as he lay dying, but maybe just in time to save him from losing himself entirely. A poltergeist!Charles AU.

    Summary

    “A test,” the Night Nurse echoed, after Niko’s suggestion.

    “It says here that two souls can share an afterlife if they’re meant to be together,” Niko read, tracing her finger along the relevant paragraph. “I’ve only known Charles and Edwin for a few weeks, but it’s obvious. If you don’t believe they’re meant to be together, then we’ll find a way to prove it.”


    AU from episode 7.

    After returning from Hell, Charles and Edwin are given a chance by the Night Nurse to prove they deserve a shared afterlife. They're reincarnated as modern human teenagers, given a set of false memories accordingly, and let loose into the world to find each other.

    With all other parties forbidden from interfering, the boys may find themselves at the center of several forces secretly tugging them in all directions.

    Summary

    On the anniversary of his pronounced loss, Spock invites Jim on a trip. First, however, Spock is determined to mark the date with a private memorial alongside the compassionate--and curious--young commander.

    It's vague and confusing, but for Spock, Jim would do weirder things than planting a sapling in a Earth forest for a mysterious relative. Especially if afterward they get to share a decidedly romantic shore leave.

    Summary

    Shore leave in the icy mountains of Andoria takes a surprising turn after an injury puts an end to Jim's plans for a week of extreme winter sports, leaving him alone in a cozy cabin with a roaring fire, a grumpy Vulcan, a pot of hot chocolate . . . and a game of Truth or Dare which finally forces them to put all their cards on the table.

    Summary

    Yennefer of Vengerberg, taken from her family as an infant, was raised by the King and Queen of Aedirn as a princess. But when she starts displaying strange powers, markers of her elven blood, she's locked away in a tower, denied love and affection.

    She runs away to start a new life as the Witch of the Woods, and quite enjoys her solitary life, devoid of foolish attachments. Meanwhile, across the Continent, whispers and rumors of her power are stirring unrest in Aretuza. To top it all off, a cursed, foolish bard stumbles into her forest and begs her to help him.

    Yennefer's life is soon turned upside down--and where did all of these annoying feelings come from?

    Summary

    “Since you’re a beginner, I thought I would walk you through the contract before we start. I assume you haven’t done anything like this before?”

    He glances down at the paper she offers him. It has three columns, labeled yes, no, and maybe, with a list of kinks and sex acts running down the side. Most of them he’s never even heard of.

    “Um, no, I haven’t,” he confesses. “Do you have any recommendations?” As soon as he asks, he wants to hit himself.

    Jaskier's first venture into the BDSM community with professional dominatrix Yennefer Vengerberg.

    Summary

    When a pregnant Jaskier is abandoned by Geralt atop the mountain, Yennefer knows that taking him in is only the decent thing to do, really. Who would leave a vulnerable omega to fend for themselves? But her instincts want more than she's willing to take, and soon she must fight not to catch feelings for him, even though he's funny and sweet and so good with the baby and—Oh fuck.

    And when Geralt reenters the picture, full of remorse over his rash dismissal of Jaskier—well, two alphas, an omega, and a baby? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

    Or the beginning of something wonderful.

    Summary

    Ciri’s held on for so long already, but a wasting disease like this one strikes quickly and burns through people even quicker. If only Geralt had noticed—but Ciri, ever stubborn and not wanting him to worry, hid it from him until she collapsed.

    The healer hadn’t known what illness plagued her either—had even hinted at a painless end. But when she saw the look on his face at her suggestion, she divulged a local legend, known only in whispers—the Tree of Life, said to have the ability to heal anything, and even to grant immortality.

    Summary

    Jaskier hadn’t awoken yet for three days—three long days where Geralt painstakingly fed him, dripped water into his mouth, wiped him down with damp cloths, all while Jaskier lay deeply unconscious. Sometimes he roused—only briefly, and he was never lucid enough to know where he was. Not lucid enough to know that Geralt had pulled him from the Nilfgaardian dungeon, that it was Geralt who tended to his wounds.

    Jaskier's recovery, with all its highs and lows.

    Summary

    “He’s very…” Geralt trailed off, arms crossed.

    “Pretty?” Yennefer finished for him, appraising the man in front of her. He seemed entirely unconcerned about his state of near-nudity, and even less concerned about the fact that the entire court was ogling him, including the Warlord of the North and her right-hand man.

    “Thank you,” the man said, bowing deeply. “I do try.”


    When Yennefer of Vengerberg, Warlord of the North, receives Jaskier as tribute, she doesn't trust him—the rumor is that assassins and spies are trying to infiltrate her court. And despite being sent unwillingly, Jaskier seems perfectly happy—too happy—to be there. As tensions with the bordering country of Rivia grow stronger, she must beware, and figure out who she can truly trust.

    Summary

    The crow hopped closer, then, until it was almost atop Geralt’s hand. He caught a flash of something shiny around its leg, but when he made to reach for it, the crow skittered backwards, making another low rattle and fluffing up its feathers.
     
    “It’s alright, I just want to look,” Geralt soothed, stilling his hand. The rattle stopped, and the bird hopped hesitantly closer. Geralt waited for it to come to him, motionless and patient. Only when it perched on his hand did he bring it closer, peering intently at its leg.

    A silver chain, so fine as to be nearly invisible to the eye, wound its way around the crow’s leg. This close, he could see the barely-there, shimmering aura around it—it was surely enchanted. A binding charm.

    Geralt whistled lowly. “No ordinary crow, then,” he surmised, though he’d already known. “Human?”

    The crow rattled its displeasure at the term—so it wasn’t transfigured, then. But it was still clearly sentient— “Ah,” Geralt said. “A shifter.”

    Summary

    When Jaskier runs into a pack of wild dogs while searching for his lost hen, he's lucky that Geralt is nearby to save him. But he has nothing to repay the witcher with except the Law of Surprise, and who do they find upon returning to the farm, but Jaskier's sister, Renfri, back early from marauding?

    --

    “Jaskier! Leave my Husband Surprise alone,” Renfri said, shoving him away. “Go get packed. Essentials only!”

    “Alright, alright, I’m going,” Jaskier placated, raising his hands in surrender. “Don’t get up to anything while I’m gone, you lovebirds.”

    As he left, Geralt turned to Renfri. “Is he always like this?”

    “Yeah, he’s chronically stupid. Gets it from our father.”

    “Remind me again why I agreed to this,” Geralt sighed.
