    Summary

    “Give me a reason not to carve your heart out,” Ed whispers.

    And Stede can’t think of one.

    He can think of plenty of reasons he doesn’t want his heart carved out, but how could he expect any of them to matter to Ed?

    “Stede.” Ed’s voice breaks, dragging Stede’s eyes back up from where they’ve been staring at the floor in shame. “Please.”

    Summary

    Fuck. Geralt almost wishes that the bard had been sliced by one of the tail spikes rather than bashed against a tree. At least he could have fixed that a little, patched it up enough to get Jaskier to a healer. He can’t do jack shit for internal bleeding. And unless the next town comes equipped with a mage, that godsawful song about an imp fucking a scullery maid will have been the last one to ever pass the bard’s lips.

    Summary

    Geralt and Yenenfer are at the Conclave of mages and won't come looking for them until dawn. Ambushed on their way to the cabin in Loxia, Jaskier is badly injured. Scared and alone, Ciri tries her best to save his life.

    -

    “Hey!” she shouted as she yanked his shirt out of the way to get to his side more easily. He opened his eyes again, but it took a moment for them to focus on her. “Don’t fall asleep now.”

    It was hard to tell exactly what she was looking at. His entire stomach was covered in blood, obscuring the wound in the dim moonlight. Wasting no more time, she pressed down as hard as she could with the gauze in a desperate attempt to stop him from bleeding out.

    Jaskier screamed, one hand grabbing her wrist weakly, a plea to make the pain stop. It didn’t last long as he had to gasp for breath, the noise turning to strangled whimpers that were almost worse. The gauze quickly became saturated, so she had to shift to grab more. This time he didn’t make a sound.

    Summary

    Geralt is running forward already, desperate to reach the river and retrieve his stupid bard from the woman’s clutches but he knows he won’t make it in time. Her arms wrap around the bard’s slim back, cold and rotting, and pulls him against her.

    All he can do is watch as the woman slips beneath the water, dragging Jaskier down with her, and both disappear beneath the surface.

    (Or, everything was going fine until the mermaid showed up)
