Summary
Jaskier knew that things weren’t exactly looking good for him. All he had done was innocently wander through the forest, strumming at his lute and humming a tune he liked but would never remember. But good things didn’t last with Jaskier; they never had and presumably never would. The knife at Jaskier’s throat was just as good an indicator as any that his quiet pace through the woods was, in fact, one of the more unfortunate ideas he’d allowed into existence.
Where Jaskier finds himself in an unfortunate situation with a bandit, but luckily, Geralt saves him. Unluckily, they now have to talk about what Geralt did to Jaskier up on the mountain that one fateful day. -

Summary
Alja didn’t know what her future held. No one did, she supposed, but some were easier to guess than others. Hers had no definitive direction, the only thing Alja really knew was that life, at least up until this point, sucked. It sucked ass.
Soulmates were designed to give people happiness. Though, Alja had always tried to keep it in mind that she seemed to be the exception in the worst ways possible.

Summary
The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :)
Now with bonus chapters!
-
The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem.
Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.- Language:

Summary
Grace says a word Rocky doesn't understand. Rocky doesn't like its meaning. And he especially doesn't like that Grace used it to describe himself.

Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”
“I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”
“Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”
“Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.
“♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.
“What?”
“Can♪♪♫will understa♫d it ♫think talks♫♪ as this♪ Eridian you♩♫, question?”

Summary
You only needed to pretend to be human when you thought you had a family. But now you don’t. Now there’s nothing left to pretend for.
The four people you died for over and over again wish you were never born.
You don’t need to do anything ever again.

(Or: Siffrin never makes it to the king in act 5. They loop again, and again, and again, until they realize they don't need to go into the House at all.)
