    The ritual is simple: morning skate, home for a protein shake, then Shane strips to his briefs, lies in bed, and starts scrolling.

    Summary

    Julian, a bored minor noble in Redania, feels trapped in his (albeit luxurious) life on his estate. What's a young man to do? He sneaks out at night, becoming the bard Jaskier who performs in taverns while his staff are none the wiser. One night, on his way back from such a sojourn, he stumbles across a severely-wounded stranger whom he nags into accepting help. Julian has no idea he's just saved the life of The Wolf, Redania's new warlord.

    Summary

    Everybody knows the story. Batty Baggins ran off on an adventure, came back with gold and a dwarf of his own. But that was then, and this is now - now, Bilbo is in the Shire, and Thorin back in Erebor, their marriage only existing on paper anymore. It was a bitter set of consequences that pulled them apart, and they've made their peace with that, more or less. However, peace turns out to be a very fragile concept when they meet again under the least likely circumstances, forced to come face to face with the things long left unsaid.

    Summary

    An alternate world where Iroh leads a coup against Ozai on the eclipse and wins the throne for Zuko. The southern water tribe hadn't sent men to fight in thirty years, instead protecting their home, laying traps, using guerilla tactics so the fire nation gave up fighting them.

    Sokka and Katara found Aang, but being frozen in ice for a hundred years has ramifications and for almost four years the tribe focuses on healing the avatar.

    Zuko is advised for continued peace to have an arranged marriage outside the fire nation. The best option is a the child of the chief of the southern tribe. Katara is in love with Aang and is heartbroken, but will do her duty for her people. Sokka finds a loophole that they can carefully and craftily exploit.

    Aka they lie. They lie so hard and Sokka becomes the one betrothed to Fire Lord Zuko. He is sure there will be no consequences to the plan. Certainly not going to fall in love with the man he is lying to. At all. Nope indeedy, no love on the menu. Dang it.

    Summary

    “Geralt…? What, by Melitele’s tits, are you doing? The door, man, normal people use a d--... Geralt?” He noticed it now. The feverish sheen on the Witcher’s skin, the alert, skittish look in his eyes and the--. He cleared the distance between them in three strides. Geralt retreated until his back hit the wall with a dull thud, but Jaskier would not be deterred. He shoved his face into the crook of Geralt’s neck and breathed in deeply, his hands gripping the edges of the damp cloak draped over broad shoulders. “You’re…”

    “I need… need to ask you… for a…” He clenched his teeth, eyes rolling to the ceiling. Two gloved hands lifted to push Jaskier away from his chest; it felt like trying to move a mountain. Not because Jaskier pushed back, but because every fibre of his being wanted to pull the other way. Ask for a what though? ‘Favour’ didn’t quite fit the bill for what he was about to request, and so he stared at Jaskier with those intense golden eyes, while mentally scrambling for a coherent explanation amidst the brain fog.


    Geralt and Jaskier get together, fall in love with Eskel, and learn that it's all right to want (and let themselves have) things.

    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

    Summary

    Eventually Jaskier settles down on the bed. When he’s been silent for several long moments Geralt cracks open an eye. The light from the fire in the hearth is more than enough to see by for his enhanced eyesight. Jaskier is curled up on the bed, back to the wall and limbs gathered up to his chest. It’s a childlike pose that strikes a dissonant chord in Geralt’s chest. He remembers spending nights with Jaskier in other inns, in camps on the roadside, and Jaskier sprawls when he sleeps. Limbs flung out in every direction, sometimes close enough to grasp for Geralt’s warmth.

    ---

    When Geralt carries Jaskier out of the cellar beneath the cottage on the outskirts of the abandoned town he thinks, this is as bad as it will get.

    Summary

    When Geralt first comes across the mansion, he comes in because the nearest town is still hours away and he knows Roach is not going to make it that far without rest. That is when he meets Julian - the only resident of the truly enormous estate that seems to have everything one might dream of within its walls.

    When Geralt returns the second time, he tells himself that it’s only because he wants to thank Julian for his hospitality and help, and not because he wants to see him again, feel the warmth of his fingers against his skin.

    And when he returns again after that, he learns that both the mansion and his own heart may not be as simple as they seem.

    Summary

    Pas de deux: a dance for two people

    The Four Devils Ballet Company in central London was somewhat small, but then again, it had only come into existence a few years ago. Run by former principle dancers and soloists for world renowned companies like the Royal Ballet, it was quickly becoming one of the most watched up-and-coming dance groups, both for the quality of their productions and the prestige of their heads. Sebastian Michaelis, Claude Faustus, Grell Sutcliff, and William Spears had been friends for years, and when they could no longer hear the siren song of performing on stage, they decided to start their own company, to put up their own creative endeavors and teach new dancers.

    But this prestigious company hides a dark secret, and Ciel Phantomhive is about to be caught in a dance of devils...
