    Summary

    After birthing himself from a fresh grave lifetime-decades ago, Jaskier has played the bard across the continent. He is content because he is who he chooses to be: safely forgettable; a weed who makes music.

    … Until the witcher, and the child surprise. Until the war. If he runs from his birthright, he risks the lives of everyone whom he ever held dear. If he embraces it – he loses them anyway.

    Summary

    "So, you are the wizard." Says Queen Calanthe, leaning her elbow on the arm of the throne and crossing her legs as she stares the newcomer. "What are your interests in Cintra?"

    "I'm just looking for a home, Your Majesty. Nothing more and nothing less." That's what the stranger in black responds, eyes the color of polished emeralds fixed on the floor. "I'm not interested in a position in your cohort, nor in any wealth in your coffers. Just a roof over my head is enough."

    The queen's smile is all teeth. "So say your name, wizard, and I'll give you a piece of my roof and a seat at my table, a glass of my beer and a plate of my food."

    "Your generosity knows no bounds, Your Majesty." He says the wizard, closing his eyes and bending his head further, exposing the back of his head to her. "The name of this humble wizard is Hadrian Potter-Black, Your Highness, but only Harry is fine."

    Or the one in which Death sees that its Master is unhappy and presents hin an irrefutable proposal.
