Bookmarker's Notes
I read this fic over a decade ago and I still think about how amazing it is. The story is so well balanced, the tone is perfection. The history is beautifully honored and given the chance to breath. This is beautiful - and my all time favorite fic

Summary
Karl takes a bracing breath. “Don’t freak out, but you’re not…in the world anymore. You’re just to the left of it. In between it and…something else.”
The road seems to narrow. The trees press closer.
“Consider it the world’s worst, never-ending roadtrip. A waystation filled with nothing but waystations. And as soon as you stop to rest, that’s when it gets you, so you can’t stop. You can't rest. You can’t ever stop running.”
And Quackity hears the voice of a dead man. Are you just going to run again?
(On a roadtrip to see his brother for the first time in four years, Quackity gets lost in the space between spaces. Luckily he’s got his boyfriend riding shotgun, and also this cute gas station attendant, who knows much less and much more than he should.)

Summary
"There is no town called Lettenhove," Ciri said.
"It's small," Jaskier said.
"If it's big enough to have a viscount, I would have learned about it in my political studies. I was engaged to the prince of Redania for a few months; I was instructed on every noble family in the land. There is no Viscount de Lettenhove."
Yennefer and Geralt's expressions shifted, the mirth dropping.
