    Summary

    Blowing out the candle by the bed leaves them in almost complete darkness, the rain smattering hard against the window, wind howling around the corners of the building. All things considered, it is worth it.
    Geralt lies facing Jaskier, hands tucked under his cheek, watching him through the darkness. He wonders if Jaskier knows that he can see him, watch him back. Probably not.
    “I’m sorry for dragging you into this,” he says quietly, and Jaskier waves a hand dismissively between them.
    “Got a roof over our heads. What are some fake sex noises between friends anyway?”
    It’s funny, but it twists something in his chest.

    OR; this author imagined what it would be like to be on the recieving end of a hickey, especially if you were pining your ass off after the one giving it, but pretending not to.
    A lovestory.

    Summary

    “We’re not here for you to give me a restaurant review or for us to have a transcendent gourmet experience,” says El, crossing her arms, and Liesel sighs.

    “We can multitask: transcendent gourmet experience and a conversation about your marriage prospects,” says Liesel with a blandly sweet smile.

    “My what?!” says El, wide-eyed, and then, better than Liesel could even time it, the evening call to prayer sounds out along with church bells, an echoing, holy cacophony of what must be half a dozen different muezzins and bells, the sound bouncing and doubling almost eerily around the neighborhood.

    El has more admirers than she thinks she does. Liesel tells her why.

    Summary

    There comes a day in every man's life when he has to look at the circumstances of his existence and decide whether he wants to keep fighting.

    For Ed, that day comes when the frost giants attack Bryn Shander.

    "We are getting the fuck out of Ten Towns," he tells Holga.

    When frost giants attack the city of Bryn Shander in 1491, Ed and Holga make the decision to take Kira and make the perilous journey south to Mornbryn's Shield, where they hope to start a new life away from the unpredictable Ten Towns and the memory of Edgin's wife. Along the way they meet a paladin of Ilmater who agrees to escort them as far as Mirabar, setting off a chain of events that will have Ed questioning his beliefs, evaluating his relationship with his daughter, and perhaps even let him heal enough to finally find happiness again.
