Summary
The Leshy had been the final fucking straw.
For decades, Eskel had found himself increasingly sick of walking the Path and living the life of monsters and money.
He had spent most of his life being hated for something he had no choice in: becoming a mutant.
It was thankless work, people didn’t want to pay even when he’d bested their monster, and everyone was afraid of him.
But winter came yet again as Eskel made his way up to Kaer Morhen, badly injured by a fucking Leshy, of all things,
And by the time Eskel was deemed free of the Leshy and able to rest, everyone else in the Keep was wrapped around the fingers of Geralt’s daughter, Ciri.
So when the pass was clear enough for travel in the spring, Eskel had made up his mind: he was done with doing what was expected of him.
Eskel wanted to retire.
In years bygone, Eskel had spent some time in Oxenfurt, sitting in on whatever classes at the University that allowed mutants, and he’d thoroughly enjoyed that pursuit of knowledge, though he could never afford the tuition to attend as a student.
And that is how Eskel found himself sneaking silently into a lecture on music theory given by “Professor Julian Pankratz”.- Language:

Summary
This is a new one for me, folks. My first AU! (And yes, I'm aware I haven't finished Hue and Cry yet. I'm sorry. I promise I'm working on it.) I've had this idea circling around my brain for quite some time now and it's suddenly started yelling to be let out, so here we are.
Geralt, a ship's captain who commands a crew of monster-hunting sailors, rescues Jaskier from one of his rivals. Jaskier's only experience with Geralt's kind has left him with some pretty deep trauma, which he'll need to try to overcome--with Geralt's help, of course. Can they outwit and outmanuever the danger dogging their every move? And can Jaskier recover the man he used to be before his harrowing experience and learn to trust again?

Summary
“Would you like to go out for drinks with me?” When Dennis stares at him blankly he continues. “Like a date.”
Dennis continues to stare for a beat. “A date?”
“Yeah.”
“With me?”
“Yep.”
“No one else?”
Abbot squints. “Who else would I invite to a date, Whitiaker?”Look, Dennis has seen how Abbot eyes him, especially when he’s forced to flit around the ER in scrubs too small for him. So, it’s not the craziest thing that he has asked Dennis out. However, Dennis has also seen how Abbot looks at Michael Robinavitch.
or
Jack and Robby both ask Dennis out separately. Dennis thought they were together, but it turns out they don't realise they love each other. Dennis suffers as he observes their 'friendship' and eventually makes them see what they mean to each other

Summary
If anyone asked, Robby could easily tell the story with a lovesick smile and eyes focused only on the younger man as if he hung the moon and stars himself. A rough hand caressing his arm before intertwining their fingers.
“It was almost like fate.” He would say, awe in his tone, still surprised at how this man chose to be with him.
If anyone asked Dennis, he would look at you with furrowed eyebrows and a slowly reddening face as he’d reply, “What do you mean? Dr. Robby and I aren’t dating.”
