Summary
Delloso de la Rue sacrifices the title of True in protection of the magic that flows to the mortal realm. K.P. Hob wallows and writhes in the doubt and distrust that follows for but a few moments, but it's enough to change the story irrevocably. It's enough to make the road to a happy ending winding and all too easy to lose track of, like all roads into Faerie must be. The new arrangement of the stars makes new constellations, and they all must learn to navigate by a new map.
(Or, I make Rue/Hob/Wuvvy/Sy the delicious mess it deserves to be.)

Summary
"Alone, static and still, on a stark white wall, carefully-labelled and observed, a work of art is simply a relic, a file folder of medical analysis. --Hester in Season 1, Cassette #6: for Oleta
This is a series of fics focused on exploring the "culture" of the Society and the suppression of the characters' cultures (or non-cultures, as the case may be). The characters of Within the Wires are stripped of or denied not only "national" identity, but family, tradition, and virtually every other naturally-occurring kind of trend found in human communities. What's art without culture?
What's life in a monoculture?

Summary
The Underworld had a long and storied history well before Prince Zagreus drew his first breath twice. Despite the vast population, the kingdom of the dead can be a lonely one without the right company, and Hades and Persephone know that better than most.
All of these can be read individually or as a group! It's only a suggested reading order.

A Name to Conjure With by ishouldwritethatdown
Fandom Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)
27 Jun 2022
Summary
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt but it's just rewriting every scene with the Wild Hunt so that it's obvious Geralt has a very involved and personal history with them, delving into some of his memories from his time riding with them and incorporating his knowledge into his plans/expectations/nightmares.
Because you can play that whole game and never be told that Geralt rode with the Wild Hunt and is entitled to call Eredin a bitch on a personal level, and I think that's bullshit. CD Projekt Red introduced this really cool concept at the end of Witcher 2 and then did The Least with it and I personally think it's time I fixed it.

Summary
There is no need to struggle against the ossified, corpse-stiff embrace—there is nowhere else to go and nowhere else to be. No one left to look for her, to wait for her, or to even lay flowers upon her unmarked grave. No one left to come back to. Only here, only now, this one single endless moment of stillness, already sinking soundlessly into the left behind past. It is so blatantly easy to let her spirit go out like a weak flame of a guttering candle, to let her body stop and give up, allowing her flesh to unravel into the sweet, putrid rot, so something better, simpler can one day grow from her forgotten bones when even the faint and fraying memory of her crumbles to dust like a flake of ash. It would be so easy.
Then again, there has never been anything easy about Carpenter’s life.

Summary
After getting shot in the river and left for dead, Carpenter wakes up to find that the Trawler-man has dragged her down to his damp and shrimp-filled kingdom at last. Given the choice between taking some time to process her trauma, and tracking down her ex-god so she can kick him in the shins, Carpenter handles this situation in as healthy a manner as you'd expect.
A choose-your-own-adventure set immediately post-canon. Between anger and grief, forgiveness and catharsis, Carpenter finally gets the chance to say goodbye on her own terms.

Summary
Rane lets Faulkner eat them: skin, fat, muscle, meat, all of it. He takes, and they give, one single prayer hot on their silent tongue. My flesh for your teeth. This prayer can’t be read in any of the dusty old tomes, can’t be heard in the clatter of the knuckle bone prayer beads. No, it’s one of their own invention. This is just theirs. Only to him and for him.
