    Summary

    (Part 1 of 3)

    When Rick is 8, he visits his family out in the middle of nowhere Georgia and gets lost in the woods. He stumbles upon something he isn’t supposed to see, and is saved by another little boy that gets him home safely.

    AKA: the story where Daryl continuously keeps Rick from getting killed as they grow up, Rick is a nosy little shit who doesn't know boundaries, and Daryl's family practices a bastardized version of Folklore Hoodoo and New Orleans Haitian Vodou.

    The Dixon Family and their associates use this practice to prosper their bootlegging business, but their rituals are corrupt and their actions anger the spirits they communicate with. The forest and town become cursed, and the horrible things the townspeople do in their every day lives makes everything worse. No one discovers the damning combination until it's too late.

    Summary

    Daryl's been on his own for six years now. Almost seven. He's been out of the fire, but he still feels the world around him burning. He likes his job at the auto shop. He likes his little studio apartment. He likes the neighbor girl Beth. But he still wakes up every night, drenched in sweat even when they're not in a heatwave. Still hears his father's voice in his head, feels the scars on his back like they're fresh. Still hasn't wrapped his head around his freedom.

    Rick is powering through it. The loss, the anger, full custody of his two kids. It was a dream of his once to never have to send them back to their mother's house again, a silly thought but one he felt in his heart every time they left his Jeep for the week. He's gotten his wish now at a terrible price: the loss of his ex-wife and childhood friend, and the terrible knowledge he has to choose to bury for the sake of his kids.

    Their paths cross and while Beth may try to take credit for playing matchmaker a little bit, they end up starting something that neither one wants to stop.

    Summary

    There you stand, next to me
    All at once, the rest is history
    Your eyes are wider than distance
    This life is sweeter than fiction

    ~

    At the end of it all, when the Witchers have united under Geralt’s name, when Geralt stands in front of them, when he tells them that in two days’ time they march for Ard Carraigh—

    It’s Jaskier who first shouts his agreement, “White Wolf!”

    The hall seems to hold its breath for a moment and then, a great rumble like thunder in the distance, coming from every voice in the hall, “White Wolf!”

    Jaskier could swear, even though he’s only one of hundreds, that in that moment, Geralt looks directly at him, golden eyes burning into his soul.

    Or: the first twenty years of the Warlord of the North's reign as documented by Jaskier of the Cats
