    Summary

    “Ah. Here is a young man transfixed. Do you like Hunt, sir?"
    "Do I like him?" Phil tore his eyes from the painting before him and marvelled at the stranger at his elbow. Like him? One might as well ask do you like Michaelangelo? Do you like Homer? Do you like the Alps?
     
    An art enthusiast with a talent for meteorology meets (arguably) the Finest Painter in England. But impressing your idol can be damned hard work, especially when he's all pride and prejudice, and you're all sensibility and no sense. Heavy weather ahead...

    Summary

    3 days irrevocably changed the trajectory of Regulus Black’s life. 3 separate days and 3 interconnected events invariably altered his destiny and his very character as a wizard. For in Regulus’s life, decisions of the utmost gravity and mere coincidences of chance alike intertwined to sew his fate.

    The first was the day his brother left for Hogwarts, the day that daft hat decided Sirius Black would align himself with blood traitors and Gryffindors rather than his own family. The second was the day Sirius left their home, the day he abandoned his blood and his name for the illusion of safety with the Potters. The day, for all intents and purposes, he was meant to abandon Regulus as well. The third day, well the third day had yet to pass, but Regulus had an inkling that troublesome Potter would be a hand weaving those particular stars of prophecy.

    -or-

    What if the Potters didn't just save Sirius this time?

    Summary

    Jaskier never really thought about piercings that much until an encounter in a restroom leaves him questioning why anyone would get themselves pierced down there. When Geralt cryptically tells him to ask Eskel about it, Jaskier is intrigued and a little bit horrified. More than that, he can’t get the idea out of his head that there is more to the affable and polite Eskel than meets the eye.

    When those suspicions are confirmed one night after closing, Jaskier becomes intimately acquainted with the benefits of certain piercings. He also realizes what a catch has been hiding in plain sight all this time.

    Summary

    Working the night shift at the E-Z-Go, Jaskier is used to an assortment of strange characters. But Geralt, with his beat up old van, the swords in his passenger seat, and his occasional unexplained stab wound, may be the strangest. Jaskier can’t decide if he’s a LARPer or a hitman. Either way, he wants to know more.

    Summary

    Jaskier's been a ruined omega for six years now. He's been bought by more alphas than he cares to count, and sold on again; he knows how this works.

    Being bought by a witcher is a new level of terror...and then it turns out it's not just one witcher, but three. Jaskier is fairly sure he's going to die.

    And then it turns out that witchers really don't act much like human alphas at all.
