    Summary

    The young man is staring up at Geralt in awe and joy as Geralt stares back in confusion. Before he can do anything about it – and truly he has no concept of what he would do about this – the boy has thrown his arms around Geralt’s neck and has his whole slim body hanging from him like a human medal.

    “Geralt!”

    Summary

    At the safe house in Goussainville, he could barely disguise his interest. There was Andy and Quỳnh, after all, and Joe and Nicky. Was she supposed to be his, just 200 years late?

    Then, it all went to hell. Nile hurled herself from a window. Booker offered her his hand. She accepted. Everything changed. Nobody realized.

    ---

    Booker and Nile are generally smart and usually rational immortal beings. They make decisions all the time. So why do Nile's visits always seem to bring warmth and sunshine to Paris? And why does this thing between them feel like destiny?

    Or, a Hades and Persephone fusion in which Booker and Nile find family, find each other, and find their fate.

    Summary

    Everything goes to shit, but Jaskier is given one more chance to fix things, in the form of a small black magic crystal. Fuck destiny, he's going to make sure all of his family survive and live happily. Even if it means changing history itself.

    AKA a self-indulgent time-travel fix-it where I play with cannon like a toddler in a sand pit.

    Summary

    OK this series has been going on for 2 years now and I should summarize it better.
    The first part is several decades of, largely, Geralt and Jaskier's interactions, as they both fumble together toward some kind of meaningful understanding. That section largely concludes with a Jaskier/Geralt/Yennefer endgame.

    Then there's a time jump, and the series picks up after the events of the Witcher 3 games. I follow Lambert as he copes with grief, and Keira as she learns new things about herself, and the lives they make.

    I decided to tell the story of how Ciri became Empress after W3, which intersects with Keira and Lambert's adventures; I read the books somewhere in this and got invested in some of the themes they brought up. And entangled with this, I got interested in the politics of the North, especially the Upper Aedirn Free State and the threads laid down in the Witcher 2 game that didn't exactly get resolved in Witcher 3, and so I have several stories dealing with that thread, which will intersect with the other stories in the same timeline.

    See notes for chronological dates and what order the stories really ought to go in!

    Summary

    Jaskier is often seen as a constant in Geralt's life.
    It's a coincidence that constant can be used to describe immortality.

    Or Ciri keeps noticing odd things about Geralt's bard, but no one else seems to.
