Summary
Julian has spent his entire life composing songs that he'll never be able to call his own. He has spent years living in fear, in agony, waiting in anticipation for the next day and then the one after that. Most often, though, he finds himself wondering if his very existence has upset the gods; but, when a certain witcher with radiant white hair appears in the doorway to the suffocating room he calls his own, Julian feels as if things are about to change.

Summary
Joe squints a little. “So you were born in what, the 1060s?”
Nicky nods. “1069, I believe. I died during the first crusade. For the first time, anyway.”
“Wow,” Joe says. “You are very well preserved.”
Joe's a millennial with student loan debt, a dead-end career as a personal trainer, and a lumpy futon for a bed. He's also the new immortal.

Summary
Being in the kidnapping business, Nicky thinks, is rather distasteful, but it’s more or less a matter of routine. You take someone, the family pays, everyone goes home happy—grazie, prego, kiss kiss.
Just as long as you don’t catch feelings for your captive.
(Or: A trashy pseudo-bodice ripper disguised as something vaguely resembling a Trust AU.)

Summary
"I always thought that would be nice. The fantasies of children, hmm?”
He says it as though the idea of him ever going to Malta is as far-fetched and ridiculous as other kids’ plans to grow up and become dinosaurs or superheroes, and the thought makes Joe feel unaccountably sad.
“Maybe when you get the ransom money,” Joe says. His brow wrinkles, like he’s not sure if Joe means the comment as a sincere ‘maybe one day’ or a sarcastic call-back to what he said yesterday about how no one but the bosses was going to see any of that money, and Joe’s honestly not sure himself, caught uncomfortably between the instinct to like this man and the more logical inclination to remain wary if not outright hostile towards all of his captors.
_
A not-quite-modern AU in which Nicky isn't a crusader but is mixed up with a different set of people who do very bad things for not very good reasons, and Joe isn't defending Jerusalem but does end up in a different sort of trouble far from home, and a lot is different but some things never change. -

Summary
Jaskier finds himself in the halls of Kaer Morhen, home to the Warlord of the North. He didn’t expect to find the Warlord so attractive though.
Jaskier figures his normal gambit of flowers and poetry won’t go down well with a witcher, which leads to the immortal question of how to court one. Geralt figures if he wants to catch Jaskier’s eye he needs to compete with the techniques of the fancy courts Jaskier is used to. Both end in much confusion and little success.
Eskel, Lambert, Yennefer, and Ciri have a betting pool, and watch on in amusement.
