Summary
Healing magic - the ability to stitch yours or someone else's wounds together with a touch - spreads, ironically, like a disease. Get healed by someone, there's a small chance you'll become a healer yourself. Perhaps this was intended by a higher power to be a nice gesture. Someone helps you, and then gives you the power to pay it forward.
For Singed, this was an exploitable loophole.
OR: Viktor finds another way to live.

Summary
The dance floor isn’t lit up, the barkeep doesn’t wear a bowtie, and the bathroom doesn’t have a door. The ceilings are low, but people still smoke, and a hundred health code violations fly through Majima’s head.
But, all of this information takes the backseat to the fact that Nishitani, patriarch of the Kijin clan, brought them both down to a gay bar where the folks who ran the joint knew him by face alone.

Summary
"He works all night and lies in his apartment pretending to sleep during the day but it creeps upon him, the neon lights, the parks and the yakuza roaming the streets. So much like Kamurocho, an uncanny valley of its absence: no Champion District alleyways, Theatre Square drunks or a draughty apartment to call home.
The illusion of freedom is a chain on its own; and Majima is a free man as long as he stays in the city, as long as he keeps doing his job; as long as he ignores the sword hanging above his head. If he just lets the sun pooling in his apartment, the serene river and gulls shrieking under his window lull him.
As long as he doesn’t pull on the leash."

Summary
Following the debacle that was the hunt for the Beast of Beauclair, Geralt finds himself settling into semi-retirement quite well and rides for the City of the Golden Towers to pay Ciri a visit. No sooner has he arrived than he gets caught up in one of Emhyr's schemes and finds himself heading right back to Toussaint to guard the emperor against assassins—not as a witcher, but as Emhyr's courtesan.
Or: the fake dating fic no one asked for, least of all Geralt, and yet will receive anyway.
