Summary
“So you’re a night owl,” Trevor said, somewhere in his second week making drinks for Adrian. He set the latte in front of him and squeezed into the chair on the other side of Adrian’s usual table. “Student? Grad student? Surprisingly young professor?”
“You’re full of questions tonight,” Adrian said. He drew the ceramic bowl closer, wrapping his pale hands around it; Trevor ignored his soft sigh, the way his eyelashes fluttered at the warmth soaking into his palms.
***
When a golden-haired stranger walked into his coffee shop late one night, Trevor thought three things: he was beautiful, he had a shitty attitude, and it was a fucking terrible time for Sypha to go on her break and leave all the work to him.
Two weeks later, Trevor's view had shifted: Adrian was still irritatingly beautiful...and someone he had a hell of a lot of fun talking to.
And two weeks after that? Well. No one could ever accuse Trevor of making good decisions.

Summary
"It’s a fucking shed in our kitchen,” Geralt said. “Everyone else who answered the ad took one look at it and left.”
“Yeah, that worries me,” said Yen. “What sort of a person would actually want to live in that thing? What if he’s some kind of weirdo?”
“Should have thought of that before renting it out."
Yennefer and Geralt have been living together for ten years, madly in love with each other & both unwilling to make the first move. Strapped for cash, they do the only logical thing; install a garden shed in their kitchen and rent it out to Jaskier, a 24-year old guitarist in a folk rock band and freewheeling disaster. They don't expect to catch feelings. They don't expect their new flatmate to overturn their carefully constructed, platonic domestic bliss...

Summary
"You want to go down this road?" asked Shadowheart. "At least do it well. If you need a fake date who’s pretty, charming, and distracting for both yourself and others? Who won’t take it too seriously, but also won’t fuck it up by being embarrassed the entire time? You don’t ask me. You ask Astarion.”
--
A year after their adventuring party officially disbanded to enjoy their fame and immense wealth to the full, tiefling wizard Rosalie (reluctantly) asks Astarion for some help with a large, fake-date, ex-girlfriend sized problem.

Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

Geralt fights the urge to roll his eyes. “I know it’s a tattoo,” he says. “What’s it a tattoo of?”
