  2. Summary

    On a world where Alexander the Great left a dynasty behind him and magic is a part of everyday life the lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are somewhat different. This series is meant to be glimpses into their lives and the lives of those around them in preparation for a larger work that will finally bring them together as they always should be.

  4. Summary

    Every day I pick a card or three randomly from my Tarot deck as a prompt. I thought it was going to be a series of one shots but a plot has evolved and no one knows the paths it will take to get to a happy ending. Not even me.

    Starts directly after the Tarmac Scene.

    Summary

    Julian Alfred Pankratz was born a happy, healthy baby, one misty November morning in the small duchy of Lettenhove. Strangely, the boy hadn’t cried once; he’d seemingly been born content, blinking blearily at the outside world like an old man who’d lost his spectacles and wasn’t quite sure whether he'd seen his grandchildren or an oddly-shaped boulder. By the time Julian turned two, his earlier silence had been all but forgotten.

    Summary

    After consuming an unknown potion, Geralt finds himself able to hear Jaskier’s thoughts.  Geralt does not think this will be a big deal:  his heightened senses give him an advantage on reading people anyways and it’s not like the other man keeps a lot to himself to begin with. 

    Jaskier thinks this is going to be a disaster.

    Jaskier is correct.

    Summary

    “Why is it whenever I find myself in a pile of shit these days, it's you-“

    Jaskier is all but sure that he doesn’t back away, even though every fibre of his very being tells him to and the ground beneath his feet seems to drop away with every syllable that leaves Geralt’s mouth- and he’s almost certain that he doesn’t wince even though the words dig into him like teeth. Maybe it’s the wind that’s changed or literally anything else, but something shifts in Geralt’s eyes and his voice dies away halfway through his accuse.

    “I’m leaving”, he spits out after a moment of tense silence, hands balled into fists and shoulders still rising and falling too hard with every slow, forced breath, “before I say something I’ll regret. Don’t come after me

    “But-“, Jaskier starts when Geralt pushes past him and towards the woods without a single, backwards glance, “but, you will come back, right?”

    ---

    A different culmination of that mountain scene in season 1. (I.e. NO mountain break-up but open communication & affection)
