    Summary

    Geralt remembered a fight, years before, when his leg had been broken. The bone had broken in two places; his knee had shattered. The pain had lasted for days. That had been nine – ten years ago. The bard had been a child then. A tiny child, unable to walk, unable to think from pain. Because of him. It was hard to breathe. When he thought about it too much, it got hard to breathe.

    Jaskier has always known he has a soulmate; a soulmate who is in pain a frankly concerning amount of the time. Geralt isn't sure if he believes that old superstition that witchers have no soulmates, but he knows he isn't bonded to anyone. He is alone, and he likes it that way.

    Or, soulmates feel each other's pain and Jaskier is not having a good time.

    Summary

    “So do you have a name?”

    “Yeah.” The man who had saved his life less than an hour ago – the white-haired, absurdly buff, weirdly sexy man Jaskier might have called taciturn if he was feeling charitable and surly if he was feeling less so – dug into his second burger.

    Jaskier waited. “Are… you going to tell me what it is?”

    The man paused mid-bite, and looked at him reproachfully as if to say how dare you. How dare you interrupt me. Can’t you see I’m enjoying my cheeseburger. Can’t you see this cheeseburger is the most important thing in my life right at the moment. He swallowed, and said, “Geralt.”

    It turns out almost getting eaten by a werewolf can make your whole life go careening off in a new, terrifying, wondrous, artistically flourishing direction. Who knew?

    Summary

    That damn kid is going to get himself killed, was Geralt’s first thought after seeing the pretty, awkward Alpha with the tweed jacket and leather messenger bag sidle into the rough weekend crowd - bikers, renegades and criminals, just starting to get rowdy with the dimming sun.

    Summary

    Besides the supernatural origin story of his reason for playing go and the tricky, maddening swerves he maneuvers on the goban, Hikaru would agree with people’s impression of him as a hot-headed, simple-minded punk. Which means, he accepts that he likes Akira pretty quickly. Which also means, operation: woo Akira, is on.
