   Summary

   A modern AU set during the Don't Ask, Don't Tell years of the US military. Geralt is a former soldier, Jaskier owns a gay bar. They meet on the day that Geralt leaves the base for good, with nothing but a dishonorable discharge and his backpack. Features themes of found family, love, and healing from violence.

   A huge thanks to Stressedspidergirl, you are a constant source of inspiration and a wonderful co-creator. It would not be the same fic without you, thank you!! You're amazing!!

   Please note that this story can be pretty intense at times, especially in later chapters. It deals with (internalized) homophobia, depression, trauma, broken families, AIDS, and a whole host of other topics that can be uncomfortable or triggering. There is also, however, fluff, deep family bonds, humor, and smut ahead. Enjoy!
