    Summary

    Once, Hawke had told Fenris he could make a home in Kirkwall. He thought he had, but he’d been living in a house with holes in the roof for three years. He’d never guessed an escaped slave might be out there in the city teaching other escaped slaves how to read. Merrill’s home also had holes in the roof, but at least she knew people she could borrow a bucket from when it rained.

    Summary

    “I think so,” Jaskier says, “Geralt of Rivia, aren’t you?”

    The witcher does look surprised at that, his pale, thin mouth in a straight line.

    Geralt of Rivia is famous for being… more of a so-called abomination than any other witcher, or so people whisper. All of the others only went through the infamous Trial of Grasses and were revived once and then sent on their way, but him —

    People say that he took so well to the mutagens that they tried to enhance him further. Jaskier doesn’t know how much truth there is to the tales – if he was killed and revived more than once and if the alchemists of his school actually sew new limbs on him to make him better at his intended purpose -- but he knows that the man is given a wide berth by anyone who doesn’t need his services, barely gets paid and speaks little and is infamous for something that went down in Blaviken years ago.

    “What if I am?” the witcher asks.

     

    Or: in which everything is more or less the same except that all witchers die and get revived during the trials, Jaskier absolutely can't care less for that one notion and Geralt doesn't quite know what to make of that.

    Summary

    In a different timeline, Bucky and Steve have the opportunity to take a quieter path, with some bumps along the way. Featuring: an idyllic farm, dogs named after Disney characters, the Soul Stone, a smattering of plot, and a fairytale ending.

    ____

    “Here’s how I see it,” the psychiatrist says. “In 2014, you discovered your employer was the old Nazi organization you died to stop. You found out your best friend, who had died in front of you, was actually a POW who had been brainwashed and tortured. Said best friend vanishes after trying to kill you. Two weeks later, you disappear as well. That sounds like someone vulnerable to radicalization.”

    Steve closes his eyes, tries to visualize Bucky sitting among the flowers, outside their home. The dogs are playing around him. “I want a lawyer.”

    Summary

    “You wouldn’t happen to have a sister, would you? Or perhaps some female progeny?”

    There is no way that Geralt is next in line to a matriarchal line on an island country far from the Continent. A princess? No way. Jaskier convinces him to go and Geralt goes just to prove they're wrong. But ... they're not. Geralt is a princess. And embarks on a journey of discovery. Of his past, of what he thought he knew, of his future as a ruler and of his future with Jaskier.
