    Summary

    The thing Steve Harrington fears most about Billy Hargrove?

    It's not the temper, not the violent streak of cruelty, not the way he makes the omega's heart race. What really scares Steve about the new alpha in Hawkins is the way he makes Steve honest.

    Or, Steve Harrington has been pretending to be a beta since freshman year but then Billy Hargrove comes into town and figures him out. To both of their embarrassment, Steve has no idea how to be an omega.

    Good thing they’ve got other shit to deal with.

    Summary

    Jaskier has zero intention of sharing the degrading experience of getting tortured. Ever. He’ll bury the memories and someday they’ll be as scabbed over as Caingorn was.

    Which had been completely, absolutely, fine. And the only reason that wound is bleeding a little now is because fucking Geralt came out of nowhere—after the most humiliating experience of his entire life—and reopened the fucking thing. But that’s fine because he’ll leave and return to the terror of his smuggling work and forget about Geralt all over again. There’s nothing hard drink and the constant danger of execution won’t get his mind off. Because there’s something therapeutic about fearing for one’s life that makes anything not of immediate concern go away.

    So yes, things were just fine before Geralt showed up.

    Two years post-Caingorn, Geralt rescues Jaskier from prison and sends him with Ciri to Kaer Morhen. However, Geralt suspects Jaskier is hiding serious trauma.

    Summary

    Geralt is no longer the Butcher of Blaviken. But when Jaskier is taken and tortured by soldiers from Nilfgaard, his tightly held morality frays at the edges. Joined by Lambert and Eskel, he sets out to rescue Jaskier and slaughter the men foolish enough to harm him. Nilfgaard was prepared for the rage of the White Wolf. They aren't prepared for his brothers.

    Because Jaskier belongs to all the wolves of Kaer Morhen, and they will raze kingdoms to keep him safe.

    Takes place after If I Starve, but can be read as a standalone. All relationships besides Geralt/Jaskier are platonic.

    Summary

    'Well?' Grell wants to demand, impatient. 'Are you the one that reaps the reapers?' But the only noise that comes from her ruined throat is a sickening gurgle, a fresh wave of blood dribbling from her lips.

    The Undertaker looks at her like some sort of long-lost treasure.

    “Finders, keepers,” he whispers.

    Vaguely, she knows that those words should terrify her. But she doesn’t have enough blood left in her brain to register the feeling. Instead, as he tenderly picks her up with one arm around her back and the other under her knees, just before the pain of being moved makes everything go black, her only thought is how romantic it is, that she gets to die in someone’s arms this time.

    ---

    (Fifteen years after Sebastian wins Ciel’s soul, Undertaker finds Grell dying in a graveyard. She wakes in his bed with a ring around her finger.)
