    Summary

    Be a gamedev, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.

    The lines of code glaring him in the face certainly don’t feel very fun. He’s barely gotten any sleep; he hasn’t had coffee; and it’s twenty five degrees of stupid Celsius outside. As much as Crowley likes the scorching heat, he doesn’t appreciate it nearly as much while wearing a thick jumper.

    He can’t take it off, though. Not today. Not after the night he’s had.

    He needs to find Aziraphale. Eden’s been burning a hole in his bag and his brain and it’s about time he confronted its author.


    Crowley – just Crowley – is a programmer at a video games studio, coasting from project to project with a bare minimum of emotional investment. He gets a good paycheck, his coworkers leave him alone, and, well, the misgendering really doesn’t bother him that much. So what if he’s tired and constantly on the verge of changing his job on a whim– he’s fine. Really.

    But then along comes Aziraphale, fantasy author, consulting writer and, worst of all, a kind-hearted bastard who still sees the good in people.

    So maybe there is a point to it all. And maybe it’s enough to change one person’s life.

    Summary

    If there is one thing to be said about Aziraphale Z. Fell is that he leads an ordinary, quiet life.
    He lives in Soho, London, above an old bookshop that he’s been fortunate enough to inherit in his late twenties. He likes sushi and good wine. He has a few friends - like Nina, who works at the coffee shop across the street; or Maggie, who runs the record store that he takes an absolute pleasure in frequently purchasing from.

    (He’s lonely. Terribly so. He’s been lonely for about ten years now, since - he does not want to think about that.)

    Today is his 35th birthday.


    At age 15, Aziraphale made a Promise. At age 25, he had an Earth-shattering fight with his childhood - and closest - friend. At age 35, that same friend shows up at his doorstep and suddenly, Aziraphale’s entire world is thrown upside down.

    A story of something unexpected, something old, something yellow, something stolen, something new and something promised.

    (It’s going to be a long week.)

    Summary

    Outside of Crowley’s window, there’s scaffolding. It has been there for a few days now.
    Outside of Crowley’s window, there’s also an angel. An angel clad in an ugly hi-vis jacket, a silly hard hat and, even sillier, pair of blue ear defenders.
    Crowley, to his utmost irritation, is completely, utterly fucked. Smitten, even.

    And to think it has all started with just one Good day.

    Or: the 5 times Aziraphale got away with breaking work policy and the 1 time he got fired for it.

    Summary

    Geralt has a robust set of software dedicated to the sole purpose of analyzing social interactions and, in more simple terms, reading people. Having observed the encounter with Tissaia earlier that day, it only takes him approximately 36.4 seconds to come to the conclusion that Yennefer does not want to find the Sandpiper.

    Yet, she has agreed - for seemingly one and only one reason.

    Yennefer Vengerberg’s goal, he realizes, is Ciri.

    (Whoever Ciri is.)


    When Yennefer quit the Oxenfurt Police Department, she swore to herself never to get involved with another android case - that is, until an old mentor comes knocking at her office door. Suddenly, she finds herself with an android in her care and a new job - to identify and neutralize the Sandpiper.

    But how does one go about finding a myth? Worst of all, there’s much more at stake than just her paycheck. The deviants’ existence is at risk and then there’s also… the girl.

    Summary

    When Hank looks up at him, Connor wonders if this is how humans feel looking into the eyes of a lifeless machine. The Lieutenant’s normally mirthful eyes are now devoid of any spark, empty and so, so desperately sad.

    The mission is the most important thing - and yet, Connor goes out of his way to see Lt Hank Anderson one last time. He finds that perhaps some of his priorities have changed.

    Summary

    The thing is, though, is that between all these sculptures, the paintings, is the most gorgeous piece of art.

    (In Jaskier’s opinion, that is. But while he might be biased, he is also fairly certain he’s correct.)

    Geralt.

    In which Geralt and Jaskier go on a museum trip.

    Summary

    “No, we definitely should...” Jaskier murmurs, but it’s clear by the tone of his voice that his thoughts are elsewhere entirely.

    “What is it, Julek?” Geralt prompts gently.

    “My lipstick,” Jaskier muses. “It suits you.”

    In which Jaskier puts some makeup on Geralt and Geralt continues to be smitten.

    Summary

    The mare is but a silhouette of a human and yet at his words something passes through her expression - whether it’s surprise, joy, fear, Geralt doesn’t know. But it’s clear that what he said has struck her in some way.

    (“She is not some mindless monster, Geralt.” He remembers Jaskier’s words.)

    A mare, also known as a mara or a zmora - a malicious entity, a bringer of nightmares and a demon of the night. An easy enough contract to fulfill, if only frustrating, or at least that’s what Geralt believes when he first sets out to hunt down one such mare.

    What he doesn’t expect is to be wrapped up in a tale of a wronged soul, of love and of joy.

    Summary

    “What if I told you -” she begins, pouring them both a glass. When he looks at hers, the image mirrored in the glass is not her face. He blinks. “- that you could get away?”

    “Get away from what?” he huffs, frustration seeping into his voice.

    “This heartbreak, Jaskier.” She looks up sharply and their eyes meet. The shade of her eyes is not the right one. “That you could finally matter. For once in your short, miserable, human life… All you need to do is ask.”

    After Yennefer saves his life from certain death, Jaskier doesn’t think he can get so lucky twice in a row. And so, stuck in a prison cell, he tries to think of a way to get himself out - tries to think of the words he had heard the sorceress mutter. Turn your back to the forest, hut hut. Turn your front to me, hut hut…

    (There’s no way he could get himself in even more trouble, right?)

    Summary

    “Eskel,” Jaskier gasps, recognition for a man he’s never met briefly flashing in his eyes. “You’re Eskel, right?”

    Jaskier, it seems, has a penchant for running into witchers. Decades after the unfortunate dragon hunt, decades since he’s last seen Geralt, he meets another man with a wolf medallion and two swords. He knows, instantly, that he’s in over his head.

    Canon divergent fic set after the events of season 1; in which Jaskier has a home away from everything and Eskel takes a much needed week long vacation.

    Summary

    “I know why I’m out here,” Geralt says, unprompted. “Why are you?”

    Jaskier tilts his head. The lighting above them is an awful artificial blue and yet his eyes shimmer prettily in it. “Out here - like here, specifically, or out in the world in general?”

    Their eyes meet across a busy street of an unfamiliar city and neither of them knows yet that they have finally found what they were looking for.
