    Summary

    Bilbo didn’t mean to do this. Well, of course he didn’t. This isn’t his fault.
    One moment he was sitting in front of the fire where they were camped in the forest at the edge of The Lonely Mountain, clicking his tongue at Fili and Kili chucking bits of bread at Balin, the next they were under attack.
    It all happened so fast, Azog and his Orcs embarking on a brutal slaughter before they had the chance to raise a sword in defence, and Bilbo somehow managed to claw his way through the forest and to the foot of the Lonely Mountain where he comes face-to-face with… Thorin… who Bilbo was certain just had his head chopped off a moment ago.
    To make matters worse, he doesn’t seem to recognise him. And Erebor is… well, not a charred and blackened empty tomb inhabited by a dragon.
    And yeah, Bilbo’s fairly certain this isn’t going to end well.

    Summary

    “I’m getting old,” Jaskier admits.
    The phrase hangs in the air, bereft of his usual swagger. Everyone stills, the blood in Geralt’s body running cold in his veins.
    Jaskier does not live as though he someday will die.

    Summary

    "You should leave me," Jaskier mumbles. It takes a second for Geralt to parse out the words, and when he does he feels ice chasing the potion through his veins.

    "Stop fucking saying that," Geralt says, and maybe he is angry at Jaskier - not for the injury, never that, but for the idea that Geralt would consider leaving him behind. For thinking even for a second that Jaskier lying abandoned on a battlefield to die is a price Geralt could ever pay.

     
    (In the aftermath of their flight from the Redanian camp in episode 4, Geralt reflects on what he has come dangerously close to losing, and truly chooses what he wants to become.)

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” Geralt flicks his gaze over Jaskier, who’s suddenly acutely aware of the hidden blades under his clothes. “Where’s your lute?”

    “My - what are you doing here?” Jaskier deflects, trying valiantly to hide his panic. With Geralt here, how is he supposed to kill the lord now?

    “The lord hired me as a bodyguard.” Geralt looks around uncomfortably, clearing his throat. “Apparently someone’s trying to kill him.”

    Jaskier’s stomach drops. Well, shit. If the lord knows that someone is after him, Jaskier will have a harder time getting close enough to kill him, and with Geralt acting as a bodyguard… that complicates things. A lot.

    *

    Jaskier is an assassin, but Geralt doesn’t know that. When Jaskier is sent after a cruel, corrupt lord who has hired Geralt as his bodyguard, Jaskier tries to figure out how to assassinate the lord without Geralt finding out his secret.

    Summary

    Butcher experienced the whole spectrum of human emotion in the span of twelve seconds. His stupid stomach was suddenly filled with butterflies dancing the tarantella and the rest of his fucking guts seemed to have suddenly decided to grow extremities and start a conga line inside of him.

    (Don’t tell a soul, but it felt nice. Like, nice.)

    Also, Hughie sang out of tune and out of rhythm and Butcher wished he would have recorded it.
