    Summary

    Where witchers are death, and Jaskier is a bard with a flare for the dramatic who keeps saying he wants to “just die” in any given situation.
    To Jaskier, this is just a figure of speech. To Geralt, it is very definitely flirting.
    When he decides to finally court the bard, it doesn't quite go as expected, and he finds out just why it is so easy for Jaskier to flirt with death.

     

    ---000---

    Geralt tilts his head to listen, the corner of his mouth twitching upward. The bard has been flirting with him for weeks now, exclaiming he could just die, all over Oxenfurt. At first, Geralt thought the man was being dramatic and didn’t know what he was doing, but no one is that theatrical.

    “Little shit at it again?” Lambert grouses. “Just fucking court him already, pretty boy. Or I might just do it for you.”

    Summary

    To a witcher, touch is almost never a good thing.

    Touch means something or someone has gotten too close. Close enough to rend open the places where armour doesn’t protect the vulnerabilities underneath. Close enough to see the pulse where it beats just under the surface, to identify where to strike.

    To Geralt, touch is everything beyond that, too. He craves the moments where touch doesn’t mean pain, damage, or potential death, but where it means safety and care. In a witcher’s life, those moments are far and few between.
    Geralt bears it and watches the seasons change until he can take out that part of himself for winter, and let it breathe.

    He’s used to it, and he’s already endured it for decades when he meets Jaskier

    Summary

    When Jaskier is young, he is sold to a slaver to solve his parents' problems with money.
    He ends up at the royal court of Tretogor, a gold-collared bedslave, reserved for the royal line. Unlike the others, Jaskier doesn't settle into his fate, but rebels in what little ways he can.
    It's no wonder then, that when the warlord of the north visits Tretogor for negotiations, Jaskier finds himself in the middle of it all.

    His mother's face is sad, and Julian wishes more than anything he could change that. She tucks a lock of his soft brown hair behind his ear.
    “Remember how you said you wanted to help?”
    Julian nods.
    “There’s someone who… is coming to take a look at you. If you do well, we’ll get enough to pay the rent that’s still due. If we’re very lucky, we’ll get enough to buy back the farm.”
    “What do I have to do?” Julian asks.
    A tear tracks down his mother’s cheek.

    Summary

    There are long forgotten deep feelings embedded in certain old walls, much like bricks and mortar, and the ancient, mystical Chaos itself.
    The castle crumbles for centuries, alone in the Blue Mountains. Its halls are empty and heavy with history, grief and all the lost potential of the never-been. In another world, this crumbling ruin of a castle might have been the home of a rising empire, built onto the broad shoulders of a righteous ruler who accidentally made the world a little bit better and never thought that he shall ever wear a crown.

    That's not what happened.

    Now, 800 years later, the silently decaying long forgotten walls of bricks, mortar and Chaos reluctantly welcome a small pack of young and desperate people. They don't seem to mind the cold, harsh winds through the halls... or the souls trapped between the walls of reality... or the many art pieces cursed to hold those souls.

    Summary

    As head of Damage Control, you have cleaned up a lot of messes, but none quite like this. When Nick Fury calls you to clean up a mess left by Captain America, your first question was what sort of trouble Sam Wilson had gotten himself into - only to be told it wasn’t Sam’s mess. It was Steve Rogers.
    What kind of mess does a dead man leave?"

     

    A/N: Reader is a plus size woman, intended size 22/24 or larger. This fic will handle the bullshit that comes with being a super fat.

     
    Takes place along side Old Man's Grocery Order. The two will tie in so it will be helpful to have basic understanding of what happens to Bucky in that one (see post credits scene there).

    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

    Summary

    Cycling on a foggy morning in a park in London - what could go wrong? Well you could have a cycling accident swerving to miss a dog. What could go right? The dog belongs to Henry Cavill, that’s what.

    Vivienne and Henry’s attraction is instantaneous, but their relationship doesn’t come without some hurdles.

    I stood there and watched, entranced, as he kneaded the dough with his strong fingers. The longer I watched, the hornier I got. He turned the dough, folded it, pushed it with his hands…over and over and over. I became almost hypnotized, and my mind went to those hands on me, imagining him kneading and pushing. He grabbed a little more flour and sprinkled it over the dough and the counter, then went back to kneading, concentrating on the task at hand.

    About four minutes in, he glanced up at me and his hands stopped. I moistened my lips and he straightened, rubbing his fingers in soft circles over the smooth top of the dough. My teeth caught my lower lip as I watched his gentle ministrations.

    Summary

    “Witcher, may I offer you, along with your coin, a night in our finest brothel?”

    Geralt narrows his eyes, hums, says, “Fine with just the coin.”

    “I promise you would not be disappointed. You’d have all the amenities. A bath, food, lodgings for the evening. And of course the company of whichever individual you might desire.”

    Geralt almost says no. It would be so much effort, to go to the brothel, to have someone picked out for him, to do the song and dance of what everyone always expects from him. But the free food and bath is enticing, and he’d be a fucking idiot to turn down a free fuck. “Sure,” he mutters. “So long as it’s free.”
