    Summary

    The first time Alina goes into the Fold and comes out as the Sun Summoner, she dies. The Druskelle succeed in ambushing the entourage and killing her on the way to the Little Palace. Then she wakes up in the barracks again, the morning of the crossing. There's Alexei on his cot, totally fine. No one is looking at her or for her... no one knows she is the Sun Summoner. She is free again.
    But she knows what's going to happen and she can't let her friends die. With one endless day that she can't escape, Alina's goals grow and grow, until she wants nothing less than to discover the Darkling's secrets, change the timeline, and save Ravka. All in a day's work.

    Summary

    Alina Starkov knows what it is to lose. She has lost her home. She has lost people she loves. And when she discovers the strange power kept dormant inside of her since childhood, her life is ripped from her again. Now she is a Grisha. Now she is something unique to be used by whoever can get their hands on her first. Shu, Fjerdans, Kerch traders-she learns to see them all as enemies as she fights to survive.
    Then she meets the Darkling, the powerful and handsome Grisha in charge of the second army. A man she swears she has seen before in passing hallucinations. He has spent years searching for her since the first rumors of a girl who shone like a star rose from Keramzin, and now he has found her.
    Alina is not naïve. She knows this man wants something from her like all of these others. But still, she cannot help but be drawn to him.
    Like calls to like, after all.

    Summary

    This is a modern au where Yennefer and Geralt live in the same apartment building, but have not met - Yen’s cat helps with an introduction.

    A few months pass and Geralt is left as guardian to a three-year-old Ciri, chaos ensues as they try to work out how to raise her together. Idk, it's adorable and very found family heavy.

    I would say its more based on the show than the games/books. Though I have read/played all of them, the show was my main inspiration to write.

    Based on a prompt from @romkole on tumblr that I ran with.

    Summary

    Rey, an orphan with no last name, no home and no prospects, gets an idea. It isn’t a good idea, certainly not a moral one, but it will save her from starvation and will ensure her the freedom of movement and independence she longs for. Using cunning and a whole lot of (suspicious) luck, Rey finds herself the perfect man. Ben Solo, recently killed in action at the Battle of Long Plains in Colorado (1884). Solo’s records show he was granted land out West in Montana for his military service and, he was single. Rey makes sure that land is now hers.

    She never expected her dearly departed husband to come a knockin'.
