    Summary

    They'd had a horrible fight. Daniel, dejected and angry that Armand refused to give him the Dark Gift, stormed out, intending to blow off some steam until he was desperate enough to ask Armand to come get him. Instead, he found himself in the weirdest place, with a bunch of French vampires and an Armand that didn't know him.

    Or: a study in loneliness.

    Summary

    ‘I’m sorry’ will never be in Billy’s vocabulary. They are just two dirty words that liars and cowards use. But he knows what it means to be sorry.

    Billy picks up a butterfly bandage, holds it between his fingers for Steve to see. Waits for Steve to drop his chin in a nod, and then presses it into place against Steve’s busted eyebrow. It’s the best Billy has to give.

    This probably isn’t going to work out. This thing Billy’s been trying to have with Steve since he got to Hawkins. Steve’s got these soft edges where Billy’s all blunt and sharp.

    Billy drags his fingertips down the side of Steve’s face, presses his thumb against the scar he didn’t leave, and lifts a brow. “How many fights do you lose, Harrington?”

    Steve grins, a half-formed thing that is sharp and sad at the same time. “All of them.”

    Summary

    Punk snorted. “Max, if you can last two- no, you know what? If you can last a single week without insulting anyone, or acting rude, or getting up to any of your dirty tricks, really- if you can convincingly act like a polite, normal nice young man…” Punk approached him again until they were seeing eye to eye, serious as a heart attack. “Then I’ll show you what you want to see. You’ll get the match against me that you want.”

    And for a single moment, at an angle that the cameras couldn’t catch, CM Punk brought forth all the pieces of himself that young Max had grown up on, and which TK had warned him not to let anyone see.

    MJF’s face lit up.
    __
    A bet is made. The cards could not be more stacked in CM Punk's favor. But those are exactly the odds that MJF loves playing with- it makes the satisfaction of winning even more sweet.

    ABANDONED now that I have a better grasp on characterization. Feel free to peruse anyway if you got a mild bdsm fetish though :)

    Summary

    Just a fic about Johnny and Dally falling in love, taking forever to admit it, then facing the struggles of being two gay men in the 1960s.

    This originally wasn't my plan, but in light of recent events and personal events, I'm stepping down from this project and will no longer be continuing it. Although I feel the ending is lackluster, chapter 37 is indeed the final chapter.

    Summary

    Daniel's eyes drift to his bicep, to where the tattoo lies beneath his sleeve.

    "Do you still have it?" he asks.

    "No," Johnny lies. "I got rid of it years ago."

    Meeting an ex again is always awkward. It's even more awkward when said ex opens up a rival dojo, when he's trying to ruin your life at every opportunity, when your best student is dating his daughter, and when you still have a tattoo on your arm that reads DANIEL FOREVER in looping cursive against a blood-red heart.

    Johnny's life has never been more of a mess.

    Summary

    Johnny finds an anonymous mixtape full of love songs in his locker.

    He's got no girlfriend, no trophy and he might be developing an alcohol problem, but if he can solve this mystery (and pass English) then maybe this won't be the worst year of his life.

    Summary

    Daniel wakes up hungover, sweaty, and with an annoyingly persistent crick in his neck.

    The pain radiating down to his back can easily be attributed to the fact that he fell asleep on the couch again, but it takes him a few moments of disoriented blinking and wriggling to figure out why he’s feeling like he’s about to melt right out of the dress shirt he apparently never got around to taking off last night. The heavy arm draped across his waist is his first clue, quickly followed by the hot, humid breaths being steadily puffed against his neck.

    Right.

    Johnny.

    [5 times Daniel thinks people’s assumptions about his and Johnny’s relationship are going to make Johnny freak out, plus the 1 time he realizes why he never had anything to worry about.]

    Summary

    Jaskier doesn’t actually know how much time has passed since the black-cloaked Nilfgaardians grab him after a performance in a shitty tavern in the backcountry of northern Kaedwen. He’d assumed--foolishly, apparently--that he was far enough north that any Nilfgaardian soldiers would be few and far between, likely just scouts or even deserters. It would have been hard to actually get any further north--the little backwater town where he’d been singing was just a day from the mountains. Anymore travel, and he’d find himself skirting the Trail up to Kaer Morhen, the Warlord’s Keep, and, well. He’s brazen, but not that brazen.

    (or: a wandering bard bites off more than he can chew with the political ballads, accidentally makes friends with a princess in exile, and finds the Warlord of the North in his debt.)

    Jaskier has just been broken up with (again), he has nowhere to stay (again) and people are booing his songs (again). He overhears the villagers talk about a beast in a castle in the woods. Then they mention it's supposed to be dangerous. Well, now he's got no other choice. That beast won't even know what's coming for it.

    Summary

    Humans, through their vile curses and pogroms on Witcher settlements, drove the only ones who would help them run monsters away from their kingdoms back to their keeps. One of the elder Witchers, Vesemir, called together Witchers of any School to join him in Kaer Morhen. Wolves and Cats and Griffins and Vipers could shelter in the crumbling walls of Kaer Morhen while the Continent beyond the mountain slowly fell apart.

    Desperate to get Witchers back into their kingdoms to rid themselves of monsters, an offer is made; kings and queens of the Continent will let Witchers return to their kingdoms and walk through them with free passage, if the Witchers of Kaer Morhen are given an assurance that no harm will come to them while they're outside the reach of the mountain.

    Their assurance comes in the form of a prince offered up in marriage to the White Wolf, appointed King of the Witchers.

    Summary

    "Oh, you must be fun at parties," the guy replied, stuffing a washing machine full with his clothes. He used the machine closest to the floor and kept bending over on straight legs to grab another armful of his clothes instead of crouching down like a normal person. His ass in the tight leggings stood out prominently and Geralt turned his gaze away quickly.

    "I don't... I don't go to parties," he blurted out, not really knowing why he kept replying to the guy.

    "Shame." The guy moved to the vending machine, threw in some coins and picked the little package of fabric softener with sheer disgust in his face. "The wildest things happen at parties. You see shit you wouldn't believe was possible."

    Geralt let out a condescending snort. Out of all the people in a hundred miles radius there was nobody who's seen more unbelievable shit than Geralt.

    A modern-day witcher in a world where people stopped believing in magic and monsters is trying to do his laundry in peace. He won't have that wish granted, though. It seems, unfortunately, that an annoying laundry companion will be the least of Geralt's problems.

    Summary

    What started in a bar leads to weekend trips, loving moments, and an infatuation so intense, Jaskier never stood a chance.

    Then, one day, Geralt decided it wasn't working anymore. One day, Geralt broke Jaskier's heart.

    A month later, and Jaskier's written the perfect song about it: and, maybe broadcasting his emotional devastation on TikTok is not the most mature thing he could have done. But, Jaskier's heartbroken. He can be forgiven for his dramatics.

    Summary

    Daniel’s turning 30 soon, and he’s getting his life together to fulfill a lifelong dream: opening a bakery to sell his prized family recipes. He’s even found the perfect building in the tiny town of Moonridge next to Big Bear Lake. It’s a big move for him and for Mr. Miyagi, who is spending the holidays in Japan taking care of his own lifelong dreams while Daniel gets everything else taken care of to open the bakery.

    The only problem with Daniel's dream is that someone very familiar also has their eye on the very same building: none other than his former high school rival and bully, Johnny Lawrence.

    As a series of mishaps and run-ins have them growing closer while Christmas looms on the horizon, it’s up to Johnny and Daniel to work together and win the hearts of the city council by helping Moonridge win a Christmas festival competition for the first time ever.

    “Jeez, darling, you look horrible.”
    Geralt opens one eye and regards the man in front of him. He wears a dark red double-breasted coat and a giant black beanie with a couple of chestnut brown curls sticking out. A scarf covers part of his face so Geralt can only see his eyes and nose. The stranger crouches down, unfazed by Geralt’s lack of response and holds his hand out for Roach to inspect.

    In which Geralt is homeless, Jaskier is looking for a muse and everybody else plays matchmaker.

    Summary

    En route to game night, a beautiful, mysterious woman falls on Julian Pankratz out of nowhere. She mistakes him for a real bard and then starts talking nonsense about "portals," as if they haven't been outlawed on the Continent for half a millennium. She gifts him magical dice, urging him to "save the White Wolf."

    Julian, playing Dungeons and Dragons as the fabulous bard Jaskier, rolls a Nat 20 while trying to gain an ally in the murderous Butcher of Blaviken - and is instantly transported to a very strange world similar to the Redania of centuries past. There, he meets the real Butcher, a stoic and sarcastic Witcher named Geralt. Julian also quickly discovers that in this world, he has something that other bards don't: Jaskier the bard really does have magic, and quite a bit of it too - something that both interests and worries Geralt.

    The Witcher and the bard's quest for answers brings adventure, surprises, heartache, magic, healing -- and maybe a little bit of true love.

    Summary

    Johnny squints at the screen in front of him. It’s some website called Goodreads, and right underneath Terry Silver’s profile is a list of books, all marked as part of the same series:

    "Quick Silver: Tales of Desire, Devotion & Discipline."

    (Or: Johnny enlists Miguel’s help in finding dirt on Terry Silver, only to discover that he wrote a series of explicit adult romance novels in the late 80s starring a certain Italian American karate student and his sensei).
