Summary
After birthing himself from a fresh grave lifetime-decades ago, Jaskier has played the bard across the continent. He is content because he is who he chooses to be: safely forgettable; a weed who makes music.
… Until the witcher, and the child surprise. Until the war. If he runs from his birthright, he risks the lives of everyone whom he ever held dear. If he embraces it – he loses them anyway.
UPDATE: I haven't abandoned this!! I'm just in grad school and workin full time as a public schoolteacher. Thanks for your patience. :D Last chapter's halfway done as of 11/15/25!

Summary
Cliff's spent a lot of time in the deeper places of the world - places where they usually bury people. Places like 10 miles north of Munich (Dachau), places like Tijuana where his mom died, places like Alabama swamps where boys trained to die.
Then he met Rick. Nothing changed much, but everything did.
(A character study, of sorts.)

Summary
Ajay Ghale doesn't sleep much - wartime and terror does that to you - but when he does, a dreamwalker who might look like his commanding officer kisses away his tears, warms his flesh, and fights alongside him as he rings the bells of Shangri-La.
His mother was a goddess. This is also important, but Ajay doesn't know it yet.

Summary
Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.
