    Summary

    Jaskier was dying. 

    The confirmation came with each cramping, shallow breath and spots of grey drowning out the mottled stone walls that would become his tomb. After all the years he’d spent terrified of this moment, it was almost anticlimactic to realize he was too tired now to fight back any longer. He was dying. The world would continue without him. 

     

    Blood dripped from his fingertips and formed erratic patterns against his own skin. Over the sound of his racing heart he could hear footsteps and murmured voices that made him want to vomit or rage in fury. 

     

    They were watching him. He didn’t need to look up into the window to see the strange faces twisted into cruel smiles, pleased at his suffering. He hated them.

    Summary

    “You know how this ends.”

    The bard swallows and summons up the mask of confidence better suited to wooing crowds. “One can only hope it includes an end to stupid questions.”

    They jerk the chair he’s chained to backwards and tilt it until the only thing keeping it upright are their hands. Behind him, another drags the tub into place. He pants, struggling through the panic and the petty need to keep them from knowing that they’re getting to him. He knows it’s a losing battle.

    “Last chance, bard,” the hated voice whispers into his ear.

    He fills his lungs with the fetid smelling air of the prison and tries to find the resolve that had been enough to make him face Nilfgaard alone.

    A sigh. “Have it your way.”

    The water closes over his head.

    Summary

    Happiness was a fragile thing.

    It lived between heartbeats and quick smiles. A coy wink tossed across a ballroom amidst the sound of strings and strangers’ laughter. A hand, rough with callouses on each fingertip from years of bringing happiness to others tracing the scars from a lifetime of war.

    A Witcher knew better than anyone that such things never survive.
