    Summary

    It was easier to treat Jon like a monster when he wasn’t shivering against his back, brokenly humming—wait, was that…

    “Are you trying to do ‘Hey, Jude’?” Tim demanded.

    Jon stopped, stiffening. “Mm hrmh mm mmh hm,” he said defensively.

    “You really can’t hold a tune, can you, boss?”

    *

    It was just an ordinary walk to a restaurant. Tim had insisted that if they were going to talk, there would be no tape recorders or weird Archives ghosts listening in. A bit of fresh air wouldn’t kill him, Tim had said. What could go wrong?

    By the time Jon spots the white delivery van, it’s much too late.

    The Stranger kidnaps Jon. Tim comes along for the ride.

    Summary

    After the death of his mother, Percy Jackson packs up his bags and moves to Gotham, New Jersey to move in with billionaire Bruce Wayne. The inhabitants of Wayne manor are watching him, waiting to see what makes him tick. Why he seems so dangerous, why his history is the way it is, who his phone number is registered to. When he slips up, they'll be there. What they don't realize is that he's watching right back.

    Summary

    Percy Jackson hasn’t been back to Wayne Manor in years. Which is fair, since Bruce’s idea of parenting was shipping him off to boarding schools and hoping for the best. But when your supposed to be dead brother turns out to be very much not dead, you kind of have to check in.

    Now Percy’s dealing with one brother who won’t stop apologizing, one who runs entirely on caffeine, and one who might actually stab him. Bruce says he’s trying, but emotional avoidance in designer suits is still his specialty.

    Percy’s considering running. But Alfred made waffles. And unfortunately, Percy is very food motivated.

    Summary

    The next day comes around and, when they come across a village at a crossroad, Jaskier books himself a night in the inn and Geralt continues North. Jaskier doesn’t ask if they’ll see one another again. He knows, deep in his bones with a certainty far beyond his years, that the answer is yes.

    It is not until he is bathing that evening that he realises why the answer is yes.

    He’s so used to the occasional ink splattering on his skin that needs washing off, that he doesn’t even note the words in block cursive travelling up his thigh for what they are for a good moment. Instead, he rubs absently at them with his small bar of soap, waiting for them to dissipate from his skin.

    They do not.

    He blinks.

    Blinks again.

    Shit.

    A soulmark.

     

    -///-

    Or, when soulmates lie to one another, those lies are immortalised on each other's skin. Jaskier and Geralt tell each other a lot of lies.

    Summary

    “This drink, the mage made it. It is going to make you a good boy,” she brushed back his hair, too long nails trailing along his cheek. “But you cannot tell anyone. You cannot tell a soul about this drink or this spell. You don’t talk about it. You keep it secret.”

     

    Julian opened his mouth to ask more and was hit by a pain he had never experienced. The boy cried out in pain and doubled over, arm wrapping around his screaming middle. His mother shushed him and pet at him until he was able to catch his breath.

     

    “See what happens to naughty little boys who don’t listen?” Her voice was sharp. “I told you not to say anything.”

    --

    Jaskier was cursed with obedience as a child and has mostly learned to get by without others knowing. Geralt is not most people.
