Summary
Jaskier is caught in a very familiar position when the mage curses him: in bed with a woman, his dark hair mussed and messy, his cheeks flushed deep red. The woman sits across from him in a similar state of disrepair, blinking dully up at her husband.
Or: Jaskier is cursed, shrunken to the size of a doll. Geralt protects the small bard as they track down the mage who did it. Jaskier does not make this easy (some of which is his fault; most of which is not).

Summary
Only a week ago, Geralt and Jaskier walked into a tiny town on the outskirts of the mountains. They had time for one look around: the shacks for homes, the loose, decayed dirt at their feet, and trees with wide cracks in their trunks.
Then the villagers descended upon them.
Or: Geralt and Jaskier are offered a hefty chunk of coin to lead a down-on-their-luck village through a mountain range. However, when the journey takes much longer than expected, temperatures plummet, and food runs scarce, Geralt must choose between Jaskier and the villagers he has sworn to protect. For Jaskier, this is a hard choice.
For Geralt, it's not.

Summary
They have been bickering for the last hour or so, teetering right on the edge of a nasty fight, when they run into the other witchers.
Or: When they find two of Geralt's friends on the Path, Jaskier wants to feel happy for Geralt. But Jaskier worries about his own place in Geralt's life as a friend.
And something seems off about the witchers.

Summary
Before Geralt's threats can go any farther, Jaskier clears his throat, intentionally loud, the way he does when he wants attention from someone, usually Geralt. He tips up his head, flicking a stray leaf from his hair. The tremors are gone. There’s something hard in his expression that wasn’t there before. Gracefully, he rises to his feet.
“Well,” he says. “Guess that’s that, then.” Even in his bedclothes, with blood on his neck, he commands the bandits’ attention like they are his audience. With a flourish, he bows. “Jaskier the Bard, at your service.”
When Geralt and Jaskier are caught off guard one night by a group of bandits, Jaskier has to use some unorthodox tactics to save them both. Geralt catches on - eventually.

Summary
Keith knew he shouldn't have gone on that mission alone.
Then he wouldn't have ended up in Lotor's clutches.
..."It behaves now, doesn't it?"
"Yes. Yes it does. It has learnt its place."
Lotor touches him- no, it- and it leans into the prince's hand.
Yes, he- it - it is good.
...It sits through the silence, drifting into a world of colour, a world where it is a him and he is Keith and Keith is a strong fighter.
But it cannot be Keith, because Keith is strong, fierce, independent, free.
It is none of those things.
It cannot be Keith, because Keith is gone....
(Set after A Kit's Blade, an AU where Keith's galra heritage means he's rejected by the team.)

Summary
As a fisherman working under Captain Lukas, Martin has learned to keep his head down and fade into the mist. He does his work, walks further down the path Peter has laid before him, and if members of the crew occasionally disappear, Martin has learned not to ask about them. Has learned to stop caring at all.
At least until the crew pull up something strange and wonderful and impossible, tangled in one of the fishing nets. Something that Peter means ill.
No, Martin doesn't... care. But maybe he can save it. Maybe they can save each other.
