Summary
“I should clarify,” said Essek, when Marion returned with the box. “We have experimented with intoxicants before, with initial success and subsequent failure. Recently, we have used enchantment, though Caleb hesitates to become reliant on it for ethical reasons, and I for practical ones.”
Marion raised a brow. “You don’t wish to condition yourself to come in your trousers every time he makes to cast?”

Summary
When they take the first finger, Essek feels relief.
There are a multitude of reasons, the first being that they, in some form of providence, selected his right pinky for amputation. His least used finger on his non-dominant hand, not crucial in any somatics, markedly his least beloved bundle of phalanges. He thinks, deliriously happy, riding the high of blood loss, 'I am still useful'.

Summary
It was a bit depressing, Verin mused, that the letter sitting on his desk terrified him more than all the horrors of Bazzoxan.
Verin, his mother had written. Essek is dead.
Verin read it again.
Essek is dead.
Or: Verin's brother is dead, and no one can tell him why. The only way to get answers is to track down the Mighty Nein.

Summary
Something sharp and cold burrows between his shoulder blades and settles along his spine. The Shadowhand straightens his back, spits the blood from his mouth and steels himself for the second betrayal of the only friendship he’s ever had. The lie coats his tongue like quicksilver – it tastes a little like grief, and a little like victory.
»Hello Jester. My apologies, I could not contact you earlier. Sudden circumstances disallowed me the visit at last minute, but I am quite hale.«

Summary
Caleb is 63 when he starts to forget. As hairline cracks form in his mind he realizes that perhaps the scars have taken their toll, and he has less time left than he expected. Essek feels him drifting away, but they know they must both face the fact that all things end. By the time it does, Caleb does not remember his own name.
Seventeen years later, a curious soul wakes up from a dream that they were once a wizard. As the shattered pieces of Caleb Widogast come back together once more he decides to seek out his past and find his favorite Dynasty heretic, all while recovering the things which made him who he was in his past life—his friends.
A story of how a keen mind breaks apart, and how it comes back together. A story of things lost—and found.

Summary
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out to be impossible for a disgraced and single ex-attorney to get approved to adopt a child he only met two weeks ago. He's not sure why he thought that would work.
A couple might have a chance, though. Especially if half of the couple is a prosecutor with good standing and deep pockets. Isn't that what friendship is all about? Getting (platonically) legally married, moving in together, co-adopting an eight-year-old, and keeping it all a secret?

Summary
Zuko tries.
Agni, he tries. Uncle wants so desperately for him to do the right thing, and he wants to, he does, he does, he does-
So when the Water Tribe girl looks at him with wild eyes, begging for help, and Azula raises one eyebrow with a sneer, Zuko chooses.
Azula’s scream of anger when he blasts a fireball in her direction is almost worth the twenty Dai Li agents that immediately surround him.
(or: Zuko is taken prisoner by Azula in the catacombs. Turns out, being kept miles away from the sun isn't so great for your bending.)

Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

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
Mama had seen the top of Mount Kepler raise into the air and known, suddenly, just how small her life was. She’d been aware of that fact before, killing abomination after abomination, insignificant to the endless stream of time, just another face that happened to stick around a little longer than the rest. But she’d felt it then, as what seemed like the hand of God reached down from the sky and scooped up the earth, as though to forge Lilith and Adam once more from its clay.
And then it fell.
