    Summary

    “Are you?” Armand’s voice pauses, not even daring to speak the words into existence.

    “What?”

    “Leaving.”

    He cannot look up. He cannot bear the answer if it is honest. The words were loaded, squeezed out in a single deliberate breath, the intent behind it cutting through the room like a wire. The silence thickened. Armand went rigid. His stillness turned absolute, the kind that made Daniel doubt he was even drawing breath. After a moment, Daniel let out a quiet, resigned sigh.

    “I’ll be back.”

    Armand scoffs like that's the funniest thing he’s ever heard, He scoffs—because if he doesn’t, he might shatter.

    And Daniel hears it, and looks at him, and something in Armand fractures anyway.

    Summary

    “And you will die like him too. Alone…”

    Radovid was a foppish, drunken disgrace, but he was still a damn sight more capable than many of his courtiers liked to think.

    He had spent years being educated in the art of war and combat. Although violence didn’t come naturally to him, he had been trained by some of the finest generals on the continent. He could hold his own, particularly against a bardling that had the self preservation skills of a gnat.

    ****

    Takes place directly after Radovid and Jaskier’s confrontation in season four. Radovid isn’t taking no for an answer!

    Summary

    Daniel gives himself a moment to digest everything.

    Two extra copies of Armand. One wearing tights and screaming in Italian – or whatever dialect they spoke in sixteenth-century Venice – and one that looked like he just crawled out of a French sewer.

    “So this is what you were trying to hide from me? You, what -- accidentally Boys From Brazil’d yourself?” 

    Armand turns to look at him. He’s got that cute little frown line between his eyebrows, the one he gets when he’s so distracted trying to figure something out that he forgets to care about how his face looks.  

    “You are not taking this the way I anticipated.”

    Or: Daniel and Armand... and Arun, and Amadeo, and Armand (Gremlin).
