    Summary

    Yennefer pouted, and he could tell it was an act. “You’re no kind of fun,” she said.
    He sighed deeply, rolling his head on his neck to stretch the tension out of his shoulders. There was no point being afraid. There was nothing he could do to make her less dangerous. She wasn’t going to go away and let him sleep-- or if she did, she’d be back at any time she felt like.
    So he might as well uphold his own reputation. Meet death sitting down, offer it wine, have a pleasant conversation. That sort of thing.
    “Darling,” he said, “I am all kinds of fun.”

    Summary

    The man she recognised right away.

    He was dirty and his clothes were ragged, but he still had that overwhelming physical presence she remembered. The witcher, Julian’s other muse from the other half of his life, here in her castle.

    Summary

    “You have sex with half the people you meet! Why would doing it with me make any difference?”

    “Because we’re friends, Geralt! I know you like to deny it, but I promise you that we are friends.”

    “According to you, you have sex with your friends all the time. I didn’t ask you, you just volunteered that information.”

    “Ok, right, well, yes. Alright - I do have friends I can just sleep with, and not change anything. That’s true. But you aren’t one of them.”

    “Why I aren’t I one of them?”

    “You just aren’t, alright?”

    “That’s not an answer. Why. Aren’t. I. One of them?”

    “Because if I slept with you, then - ” he looked away from Geralt and blinked fast, several times. When he turned back again, there was a clear challenge in his eyes. “If I slept with you, then I’d probably end up falling in love with you, which is the last thing you want. No don’t deny it – even admitting we’re friends is too much commitment for you. You definitely don’t want me to be in love with you. If you think I’m too much now, just wait and see what I’d be like then!

    Summary

    “I wanted a point of comparison,” she said. “Because he looks at me like he really – loves me, or something.”

    “Yeah,” said Jaskier, resigned. “He does that sometimes. Isn’t it a bitch?”

    They were half way through the second bottle by now, and their shoulders were touching. She could feel the hard line of Jaskier’s thigh against hers. She was very aware of the chest hair visible at the open neck of his shirt, and how he could probably see down her dress from here. She hadn’t moved to put any distance between them and neither had he.

    “Why are we still talking about him? I don’t care about Geralt of Rivia any more,” lied Yennefer.

    “Nor do I,” Jaskier lied back.

    Summary

    "Jaskier," he says, and Jaskier freezes mid-struggle and tips his head back against the tree to look up at him.

    "Geralt," he says, his eyes hazy and his voice a low rumble. Geralt looks at him in silence, not sure what to say. "Oh, my handsome wolf, come to eat me up?"

    Jaskier is definitely not in his right mind.
