    Summary

    She had never expected to become a mother. Not since she had left Vernon, anyway. She knew it was probably for the best, the fact that she never had children, especially when Lily had been good at laughing and singing and seeing the best in people and Petunia was sour and panicked and never knew what to do.

    She wasn’t Lily. That much was true. But she was all Harry had. She would have to do.

    ***

    Petunia Evans never wanted to be involved in the wizarding war. But when her sister saves her from her terrible fiance, she begins to bake for the young soldiers of the first wizarding war. She knows nothing about what they're fighting for, but cares for witches and wizards for the sake of her sister.

    And then, when her nephew turns up on her doorstep, Lily and James dead, Petunia does all she knows how to do.

    She cares for Harry Potter as though he is her own.

    Summary

    “Thank you,” he murmurs to Geralt as they sit together on his couch, both nursing hot toddies (Geralt’s praise for Jaskier’s heavy pour was so effusive it made him blush like he hasn’t since he was a teenager and Victoria Stael had him by the wrist at a Grammys afterparty) and watching the girls play with the LEGO set Jaskier got Essi for Chanukah. It’s for the gifts but it’s also for everything else.

    “The wine is really more for me than for you, Jas,” Geralt smirks, but he softens quickly, his gaze warm, nudging Jaskier with his shoulder, understanding what Jaskier was trying to say without needing to be told. “But no problem.”

    That’s what Jaskier likes about Geralt. With him, some things can be left unsaid. Jaskier never thought he’d take such comfort in silence, wordsmith that he is and has always been, but with Geralt, he is learning how to sit with the quiet, how to speak without sound.

    Summary

    As a star, Jaskier’s expected to sit in the night sky, shine brightly and answer wishes. He’s not supposed to fall in love with the world he’s watching, and he’s most definitely not supposed to fall in love with a specific witcher in it. When Jaskier accidentally trips his way into the human world, however, he finds himself alongside Geralt of Rivia-- the very witcher he’d spent most of his existence loving and watching from afar.

    In his new human form, Jaskier takes part in all the worldly things he’s never known-- at the same time, he’s faced with a decision. Stars aren’t meant to be on earth-- and the more Jaskier uses his limited star-given magic, the more likely he is to lose his status as a star, altogether. Worse still? He’s not entirely sure how much Geralt will care for him if he’s nothing more than a simple human.

    Summary

    Geralt had known Jaskier studied at Oxenfurt University, but he had thought of it as a sort of formal music education. It was becoming abundantly clear that while he had indeed studied music and composition, he also knew a lot more than Geralt had ever learned. And it was impressive. And humbling, too.
