Summary
It goes like this:
A boy is abandoned, swept up, and transformed. A boy grows up learning not to feel. A man spends lifetimes alone, battered by the world and its hatred, until he is hardened beyond repair. Not even the joyous songs of a beautiful lark can repair the decades of cruelty. He learns kindness, perhaps, and may even know love, but he will never be the same as that boy left at the side of the road so long ago.
And yet. What if it went like this?
A boy is abandoned, swept up, and transformed. A young man sets out into the world, still clinging onto the hope of becoming a hero. But he is not alone anymore. There is now someone there, someone to stitch him together when he's injured, someone to dry his tears when they threaten to fall and to tell him it will be okay.What would the boy become?
---
An AU where Geralt meets Jaskier much, much earlier than before. He's only been on the Path for a few months, and Jaskier is a professor who never quite made it as a traveling bard. Good thing he's a teacher, because someone did not raise this poor Witcher correctly. It's time to learn emotional maturity!Series

Summary
Ex-convict Melkor runs a small coffee shop with the allowance his more successful younger brother pays him in the hope that it will help him to adjust back into society- unfortunately, he only has one regular customer: young civil rights lawyer, Maedhros. Living stuck in a rut, he learns to accept the worst- that is, until Mairon walks into his shop and, by extension, his life.
Mairon is still an apprentice jeweller at twenty-six and he wants to go and forge his own path. More specifically, he wants to find the birth parents that abandoned him when he was still an infant and hopefully, in the process, find himself.
Maedon Feanorion did not expect to feel indebted to his parents for his existence, and yet it happened anyway. Dragged into family drama against his will, at least their's one bright side: his dashing step-cousin, Fingon Anairion.
Maglor only wants to be left in peace to do what he will, and his boring, dead-end job seems like the perfect way to do that, until a competitor shows up and forces him to adapt to a life that is getting rapidly more exciting.

Summary
"In the end it was the rain that finally woke him up. First only softly dripping on his face, then falling harder, as if the weather noticed he wouldn’t wake by the soft pour only. He surely couldn’t remember falling asleep somewhere outside. He couldn’t really remember anything at all actually."
Morse finds himself lying injured in an alleyway. Will he be able to get home?
