    Summary

    It’s the dead quiet that unsettles Adora. The Whispering Woods are so full of life, even in autumn, but everything here is muffled, muted, and gray. Summoning her sword, Adora walks further into the compound and away from her soldiers. Catra’s silent footfalls are close behind, something Adora only knows from the sixth-sense she developed when they were kids.

    “Adora,” Catra says, “this place gives me the creeps.”

    “Yeah,” Adora says, her voice trailing off as she keeps walking towards the center of camp, and the obelisk that rests there.

    Summary

    For Geralt, the Trials brought not just strength and speed but an acute sensitivity to the world around him that, at the worst, left him in agony at the mere brush of a hand against his. Vesemir had trained him to withstand it, to be strong, to endure every touch and injury until he could master the sensitivity and exist in a world that despises him.

    And then he'd met Jaskier and everything had changed.

    Summary

    “As I live and breathe, do my eyes deceive me?” That silky voice grates on Geralt’s ears, causing the hair on the back of his neck to stand erect. Geralt squeezes his hand tight around Roach’s reins, drawing her closer to him.

    Aubry’s eyes scan over them and finally fall on Geralt, where he’s huddled beside his horse. “Geralt, you haven’t changed one bit.”

    His tone is warm and welcoming, as it had been with his brothers, but Geralt feels his toes itching to squirm in the mud underfoot.

    OR

    Geralt finally returns to the Path after an eventful winter with Lambert and Eskel in tow. However, when an old foe joins their little group, it has dangerous consequences for Geralt.

    Summary

    Bad Things Happen Bingo Prompt: "I Know You're In There Somewhere"

    The thing about Wembley Stadium during the FA Cup final was that it was really, really supposed to be full of people. Instead, 90,000 seats sat impossibly empty. Cameras rolled down tracks beside the pitch, humming against their metal railings with no one to stop or guide them. The great, burning white stadium lights burned down on the unnaturally green field of the pitch itself.

    In the middle of that pitch stood the thing that used to call itself Martin Blackwood.

    (Set around s4, featuring Lonely!Martin)

    “It's a—power thing,” Martin says, face flushing harder. “Anyway, shut up, I'm allowed to find my boyfriend hot.”
