    Summary

    “Tada!” Mom swings the skirt of the dress high, as if a change in velocity will change her child’s mind about pink and frills. She wants a little girl who loves dresses and makeup, and Victor is none of those things.

     

    Unable to play soccer at Cornwall, trans boy Victor jumps on the idea of attending rival school Illyria by posing as his twin for three weeks.
    It’s foolproof for dealing with the trials of high school soccer, but doesn’t prepare him for the crush on his roommate, his lab partner’s interest in him or the friends he makes along the way that – just maybe – he doesn’t want to let go of.

     

    Trigger warnings: reference to dysphoria, reference to transphobia, transphobia (in scenes involving Monique and Justin), reference to parental death via cancer

    Summary

    He was ten, or he was five, or thirty, or perhaps he was eighteen. It was hard to tell. Time never liked to flow right. Some days he woke up in the summer and was sure it had been snowing only hours previously.

     

     

    Jaskier know's he's not exactly the same as other people. His memory doesn't work right and there are nights he wakes up screaming but he can't remember why. It's fine. Life moves on. He won't let himself get caught in his past or in his head, instead he just keeps his eyes on the future, however far away it might seem.

    And then he meets Geralt, and everything changes.

    This story is not intended to glamorise child abuse, and is in fact an exploration on how repeated trauma can affect adult life. Written from the perspective of someone with a dissociative disorder. There is no rape/non-con between Geralt and Jaskier, this story is meant to show them healing together.

    Summary

    At the corner of the inn, shrouded in darkness, was a cloaked man. His hair, peeking from his hood, was white but dirty, he was drinking from a mug and pointedly kept his eyes on it, refusing to raise his face.

    Jaskier gave a longing look to a free table right beside a window, where the light from the sun hit just right and promised a warm seat, and headed towards the dark cold spot where the other sat.

    “Love the way you just… sit in the corner and brood.”

     The other’s eyes shifted towards the side as he scowled.

     “I’m here to drink alone.”

     Oh, well, always lovely company, my kind.

     “Oh, come on, it’s rare to cross paths lately, with all of us dying out and whatnot.”

    Summary

    Stiles didn't know that there were people who were so lonely that they were willing to pay someone to be their friend.

    But then again, his social circle consisted of Scott and his dad. So he couldn't really judge.

    Plus the guy was in a wheelchair, you can't judge a guy in a wheelchair.
