Summary
Jaskier is left feeling rejected and a bit stupid, without even a good morose romantic drama to wallow in. It lacks poetry, in his opinion. Bad composition all around.
Or: after the fight on the mountain, Jaskier and Geralt eventually find their way back to each other.

Summary
“You know,” the old man says with a knowing smile, “if ever there was a place where you could recite and sing of Kaer Morhen, it is within her walls. Perhaps your stay will bring some lightness to all of us and not only the child and Geralt.”
Jaskier hides the stab of pain at the implication that Geralt might be glad to see him, instead he offers another simple bow and thanks Vesemir for his hospitality before fleeing into the room.
“Oh, you fool,” he whispers to himself as he falls into a nearby seat, “you bloody heartsick fool, you should have run. Why don’t you ever run?”
- - -
After a year of training Ciri in monster-hunting and Chaos, Vesemir and Yennefer agree that her education needs a boost of court politics and wordplay, which means bringing an angry heartbroken master of the seven liberal arts to Kaer Morhen.

Summary
Prequel bit of the Meet Death Sitting series. Geralt keeps hanging out with the bard that wrote that song about him, and the kid keeps asking him silly questions he doesn't know how to answer.
Banter, and pining, and obliviousness, is what this is mostly about.
(Er, and then there's a plague, and some necrophages.)
(Along Came This Song and Warmth occur between the two sections of the first chapter.)
update: there is a song that goes with chapter 4! Fannishliss comes in clutch again.Series

"Why can't I go in the east wing?" asked Ciri.
"It's haunted," said Geralt.
"But you said the lake was haunted, and the tower, and the stables!" said Ciri, pouting. "That can't be your answer to everything."
"It can be if it's true," said Geralt.- Language:

Summary
“That’s vindictive of you,” C says. “Once, you could have been in Jacobs’s position.”
“And having an intelligence agency crash into one's life – that’s exactly what happened to me, isn’t it,” Q says sharply, and then slaps his open palm against his forehead. His damn broken filters again. “My apologies. It’s different coming from this side of the equation now.”
“You’re on edge today, Quartermaster.”
Q pulls off his glasses and pinches at the bridge of his nose, and lets his eyes fall close for a moment. “It’s been a rather long week.”
When Bond falls off the radar yet again, Q has to weigh tracing his last movements with concentrating on his own assignment, dealing with a hacker of some renown. Either way, agents keep plotting, the world keeps spinning and Q Branch needs to continue doing what it does best.
Or does it?

Summary
Technically Q's name and personal details are classified and beyond the purview of field agents, but he's worked for Q branch for ten years and had gone by his actual name for eight of them. His identity is as much of a "secret" as his ineptitude at filing financial reports.

Bookmarker's Notes
”Why wouldn’t he be?” Maze sits down, looking at them with her typical mix of impatience and condescension that Chloe would never really get before she understood where it was coming from and started fearing it instead. The ancient, demonic depths of knowledge she possesses. The lack of faith in human capacity. It doesn’t take a demon to feel that way; she supposes a demon would feel it a million times over. “Have you tried to fight him in Hell?” She laughs, darkly. “All your silly spats up here on Earth? Yeah, they don’t count, Amenadiel. At the end of the day Lucifer always tagged along like a dog when you dragged him back to Hell. Made a whole damn show about it but he never fought you down there, not really. You wouldn’t sit here if he had.”

Summary
She was not as pretty or kind as Jane, as witty or intelligent as Lizzie, as quiet or sensible as Mary, or as loveable or vivacious as Lyddie. Kitty Bennet felt rather like a piece of decorative furniture that was not quite fashionable nor useful for most of her life. She wanted to find purpose, joy, love. But first Kitty would have to grow up. With the help of her final remaining sister, she does just that.

what a heavenly way to die (what a time to be alive) by JewFlexive
Fandoms: Lucifer (TV)
30 Dec 2020

Summary
"Why did you leave?" Chloe asks, but she already knows the many answers Lucifer could, but never will, give her. Lucifer left because he'd never been to Vegas. Lucifer left because he's impulsive and selfish and the bone-deep sense of exhaustion that he's always running from clings to him like cigarette smoke. Lucifer left because he did something terrible to save Chloe's life and everyone wants to thank him for it. Lucifer left because when he looks at her, his aquiline face softens and his eyes shine. Lucifer left because he was afraid.
The question Chloe wishes she'd ask she never will. Because Lucifer is brash and cloying and nurses a delusional belief that he's a fallen angel who's escaped his throne in Hell. Because Lucifer slept with ninety-two people in only eight weeks and didn't care about any of them until they didn't care about him. Because Dan doesn't like him and Trixie likes him too much. Because Lucifer doesn't trust her, even now. Because he does trust her but doesn't trust himself. Because Chloe is afraid.
But he hears it in her voice anyway, the question on the tip of her tongue, and it seems he won't answer that one either: Why did you come back?

Bookmarker's Notes
He got scissors out, thread and needle; he thought of the three ladies that his father always pretended didn’t exist and whom he’d found hidden in a corner of hell. Everybody always ignored them, but he never had, visiting them from time to time. They never said anything, always busy as they were, but they let him watch.

Summary
Geralt realizes Jaskier is growing old and tries his best to return the rest of Jaskier's life to him. If only Jaskier would cooperate and take it.
//
How much longer will Jaskier be content with weathering the elements and contending with the uncertainty of mercenary work? How long until Jaskier realizes that in devoting himself to crafting a legacy for Geralt, he has forgotten to create a legacy of his own?
After all, he does not have a wife or children, for their nomadic lifestyle is conducive to neither. He has no home to return to between stints with Geralt, whether a sprawling mansion vaunting his wealth or a comfortable cottage replete with souvenirs from his varied exploits. How many experiences has Jaskier sacrificed because some contract or irate nobleman drew them elsewhere? How many untouched fields of snow has Jaskier never seen; how many harvests at Novigrad has he yearned to celebrate from halfway across the Continent—
“You’re staring,” Jaskier points out.
“You wanted to go to the Kovirian coast,” Geralt responds.
