    Summary

    Every Witcher knows that claiming the Law of Surprise is risky, Eskel more than most. He and his mates avoid it as much as they can, but when they save an Alpha noble's life, their lack of coin and a lean season force their hand.

    There’s no knowing what could be waiting for them at the Alpha's family estate. Eskel will settle for anything that can aid his pack, from food to something fit to sell.

    Turns out Destiny's plan is more aligned with Eskel's wishes than he's willing to admit, because what he finds is an Omega.

    Summary

    “It looks like a flower,” Jaskier says, amazed by it. He’s always loved finding his lover’s soulmarks, tracing the outlines of them, imagining them on his heel.

    “Looks like an onion to me.”

    OR

    Jaskier’s soulmark was removed at birth. Geralt’s soulmark shouldn’t exist. When Jaskier discovers his witcher hasn’t found his soulmate yet, he makes it his personal mission to find Geralt’s Destiny-ordained beloved.

    Summary

    Jaskier has long been estranged from his family. They’re far too obsessed with money and power for Jaskier’s tastes, and he grew tired of listening to them mock his lack of both. He refuses to fall into the trap of tradition like they have. He’s holding out for something better. Something that speaks to him. Something that makes his heart and instincts sing. He hasn’t found it yet, but he’s certain he’ll know it when he sees it.

    When that day comes, his hoard will be the envy of the Continent.

    Summary

    It becomes a habit to keep an eye on the front door every Wednesday. Jaskier told him after the second week that he tries to grab the flowers on his lunch break. It’s how he found the shop in the first place.

    “I tutor a kid near here,” he tells Eskel as he watches the florist trim the thorns off some David Austen roses. “He’s a menace, but his mom wants him to learn piano and is willing to pay for all the grey hairs I’m getting.”

    “You play piano?”

    “And a few other instruments. My favorite is the lute.”

    Eskel grins a little. “A lute? Do you moonlight as a bard too?”

    Summary

    “What do I smell like to you?”

    Geralt looked up from where he was sharpening a blade to frown at the bard. “What?”

    “You’re always sniffing around me,” Jaskier explained with a smile that covered the sheepish blush on his cheeks, “And I've read that Witchers have a keen sense of smell so tell me, what do I smell like to you?”

    Home.

    Summary

    Perhaps he could have ignored the glittering motes of magic that danced through the room. He could have blamed this strange place of power for their presence, but he could not deny the truth that made itself plain before him, painted in blue eyes turned to bright, brazen gold.

    Merlin was a sorcerer.

    ---

    When Sir Leon is gravely injured, Arthur, Merlin and the knights seek shelter in an old Sanctuary cave, but the magic within is far from powerless, and the goddess is always watching. Can they overcome their fears and find their way back to freedom, or will they be lost forever in their own enmity?

    Summary

    “Are you one of the Butcher’s pack? I don’t smell him on you.”

    The question sent a frisson of unease through him. The truth was that if he did belong to the Kaer pack, he would be marked by his alpha. An alpha’s mark would ensure his safety and add legitimacy to everything he did. A pack and a family, all in one. Even the Butcher of Blaviken would keep the members of his pack safe or die protecting them.

    Once upon a time, Jaskier had had that. Once upon a time, he’d imagined the day when he would become an alpha himself and care for his own pack.

    Now he knew, all of those dreams were nothing more than a fairytale.

    Summary

    Between Arthur's duties as king, the diplomatic visitors to the castle, the yearly tournament at Camelot, and Merlin's obligations as Court Sorcerer, Arthur does not remember when he last had time to spend with Merlin. Now, a visiting nobel seems to have set his eyes on his Court Sorcerer. And to top it all off, this nobel is showering Merlin with trinkets?! Since when does Merlin like overly ornate jewlery anyway?

    Not to be outdone, Arthur goes on a mission to find the perfect wooing gifts.

    Meanwhile, Merlin is working on a month-long protection ritual for which he has to continuously wear an annoyingly heavy, intricate torque and golden bracelets, mutter spells from dawn till dusk, and place runes in strategic spots throughout town. He can't wait for this to be over. Also: What's with all these baubles that keep showing up in his chambers? He hasn't felt any dark magic, but who knows, maybe he better talk to Gaius.

    --

    This illustration depicts what happens once Arthur is tournament champion, Merlin has completed the protection ritual in a breathtaking spectacle for all to see, Camelot is under his magic's protection for the foreseeable future, and the nobel is long forgotten.

    Summary

    Jaskier finds himself trapped between the world of the living and the dead, with no memories of how it happened. He has no choice but to follow his Witcher guide to Kaer Morhen, the keep of the Lord of the Dead, where Jaskier must remain until either his soul returns to his body, or he passes on.

    At first, being confined to Kaer Morhen is the worst fate Jaskier can imagine, but he soon learns the Underworld, and its god, are nothing like the tales paint them. The longer he remains, the more he begins to wonder if staying would be so terrible after all.

    Summary

    The first time Geralt brought Jaskier home for the winter, he neglected to mention a significant detail about his bard.

     

    Perched on Geralt’s shoulder, there was a tiny songbird with black and yellow feathers. It chirped at them in greeting.

    Geralt gestured at the bird. “Eskel, Lambert, meet Jaskier. Jaskier, these are my brothers.”

    Summary

    Aithusa might have been no bigger than a house cat but she was still a dragon. That meant wings, claws, and her own personal hoard, which in Aithusa’s case included soft pillows, fluffy socks, and much to Merlin’s chagrin, stolen pants. When Merlin found out that his winged ward had stolen a rather considerable pile of clothing for her hoard, he thought that it would be the end of any kind of friendship with his neighbor. But when Merlin met the victim of Aithusa’s burglary, he was pleasantly surprised to find Arthur, a man who had never in his life seen a dragon let alone a burglarizing one, and Cavall, a curious German Shepherd puppy who was quick to befriend the little white dragon. From there, it was only the beginning.

    Summary

    Merlin is not in love with Arthur. Arthur is not in love with Merlin. It's as simple as that.

    But then, an impulsive decision made in the heat of the moment changes everything between them. The casual, friendly touches turn into fleeting kisses and meetings in hidden alcoves.

    It's not anything serious though. Merlin and Arthur are still definitely not in love.

    Or are they?
