    Summary

    The Sandpiper network guided countless men, women, and children to safer lands. To many, it was a beacon of hope in dark times. To others, it was an uprising meant to be snuffed out.

    No one, however, had any plans in place to save the Sandpiper.

    Not even the Sandpiper himself.

    Summary

    He plays his role, now. He’s learned his lesson and he plays the role they all expect him to play. Silly bard. Ridiculous poet. Jester, and troubadour; the rousing laughingstock. A worthless joke.

    He’s silly and he’s outrageous and he never cries, never, never cries, because crying isn’t part of the role he’s supposed to play. He doesn’t wake gasping for air he can’t find, doesn’t bite his fist to keep the pathetic sounds inside, doesn’t scream until he can’t scream any more, all the pent up angerandfearandrageandterrorandohgodspleasejustmakeitallstoppleasepleasepleasepleaseplease coming up and out. He doesn’t, because that’s not the role he plays. Can’t. Be the role he plays.

    Because he’s the pawn. The lackey. The disposable piece that will one day be used up and discarded like the trash he was, is, and always will be.

    Or:

    After everything that's happened over the past several years, Jaskier finds himself going through the motions of life, longing for death. No one notices that he's just playing at being the grandiose bard he once was, a shadow of his former self. After all, why would they?

    He's just a pawn.

    Summary

    After battles and losses, Kallus needs to remember that he's still alive, that it wasn't him who died. He does this by making himself feel, rough and raw, through sexual gratification. After the liberation of Lothal, he discovers that Zeb has a similar, complimentary need that sees them both through the rest of the war.

    Summary

    A year post-dragon hunt, an already vulnerable and lonesome Jaskier is taken by the Nilfgaardian army in an effort to torture Cirilla's location out of him. His captors are people that he already knows, and that just does not make sense to him. And then, horrifyingly, it does.
