A funny thing happened on the way to Kaer Morhen (Jaskier's not laughing) by KnyleBorealis

Summary
Jaskier was honestly looking forward to Geralt claiming his Child Surprise. The circumstances--and Ciri herself--just aren't what he imagined. She's acting...strangely. The dwarves don't seem to mind, but they haven't woken up to her staring at them in the middle of the night. Most teens refuse to eat or sleep or speak at some point, right? She'll feel better when they reach Kaer Morhen. He just has to make it a few more days, travelling alone with her through perilous, unknown terrain to the secret Witcher stronghold.
...It'll be fine.
In which a bard contends with a demon in disguise, and the trees in the Blue Mountains do a lot of heavy lifting. Thanks, trees. No mystery here.
Titles are hard.

Summary
A man on the drift wasn't beholden to nobody; his troubles were his own and his secrets stayed between him and his horse. Jobs were just that: he earned his pay and moved on. On the Sherman spread, though, a common cowhand got a spot at the dinner table, a chair by the fire, and three sets of sharp eyes on every move he made. Jess'd signed on to rope cows and mend fences. So why was there a kid bounding up to chatter at him every afternoon, an old coot fussing over every cut he didn't hide fast enough, and a stork-legged do-gooder making him think too much about every decision he'd ever made? When'd everything get so dadgum complicated?
A reluctant, bewildered Jess sidles into domesticity with the ranch's patchwork family.
Set just after Laramie S1E1: Stage Stop. AU.

An Asset, a Ghost, a Soldier by KnyleBorealis

Summary
The object is unknown. A brightly colored disc. It crumples the alloys in the metal arm’s palm and strains the finger joints as they lock onto it. Upon impact, a powerful vibration shudders up through every segment of metal on the Asset’s inorganic appendage, humming and shivering and ringing inside the chest, resounding uncomfortably inside the head and ears.
Behind it, a face wavers in the distance: framed by blond hair, floating over broad, heaving shoulders.
------------
The Asset does not remember Steve Rogers, but inside, SOMEONE does. Someone old, someone fractured, someone hidden. Bucky Barnes is has not lived in seventy years. Captain America has awakened a ghost.

After It All Went Sideways by KnyleBorealis
Fandoms: Red vs. Blue, RvB Zero, Red vs. Blue Zero
08 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
Set after the events of Sideways (S1E5 of RvB Zero).
Tucker's day has taken a characteristic turn for the worse. A bunch of idiots in colorful armor showed up, (former) Freelancer in the lead, to save him from some crazy, overpowered megalomaniac after the Chosen One's sword. And then the moody one with the knife turned traitor and stabbed him. And Tucker, for his part, is really not surprised. He's noticing some patterns in his life, you might say. But he can reflect on that later, because wow, does it suck when people nearly manage to kill you. Almost as much as it sucks when they nearly kill your friends...

Summary
“There’s a real future here, Jess. Finest cow country in Wyoming territory.” Slim looked over, earnest and hopeful. “What do ya say? This could lead to something.”
“Yeah, it sure could,” Jess agreed. He wasn’t thinking about cows. “Trouble.”
In a different Wild West, on a different path through history, the most important parts of life are still the same. America is a little wiser, the Frontier is, in many ways, a lot broader. The Earth is certainly livelier. But Jess Harper? Still a sharp-eyed, sharper-tongued Texas devil with a heart of gold and a long, dark shadow. Slim Sherman? Still an upstanding, honest, hardworking big brother, as forthright and dependable as the land he loves. And when life brings them together, they're both short a best friend. Slim's right (he always is): this could lead to something.
