    Summary

    The first time Geralt brought Jaskier home for the winter, he neglected to mention a significant detail about his bard.

     

    Perched on Geralt’s shoulder, there was a tiny songbird with black and yellow feathers. It chirped at them in greeting.

    Geralt gestured at the bird. “Eskel, Lambert, meet Jaskier. Jaskier, these are my brothers.”

    Summary

    “You said you need a pilot, ma’am? Captain Pete Mitchell, United States Navy. I’ve been an aviator for 35 years.”

    She can feel her eyes watering up in relief. Thank you, God, she sends heavenward, into the clouds even higher than their cruising altitude.

    “Can you fly an A320?”

    Captain Mitchell smiles at her and, good lord, he really is a miracle.

    “Ma’am, if it has wings, I can fly it,” he winks and adds, “Hell, I can probably manage even if it doesn’t.”

    Or; Maverick's red-eye flight home to San Diego is more eventful than he might have hoped.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy attends the Annual Alpha Display to do two things - get his mother and Pansy to stop nagging him about attending and to (hopefully) spread the word about his shop, Tactful Tailors. What he doesn't anticipate is seeing Harry Potter, then seeing him again... and again... and again.

    Summary

    Sentimental Moment Or Why Did The Baguette Cross The Road?
    by Robert Herschon

    Don't fill up on bread
    I say absent-mindedly
    The servings here are huge

    My son, whose hair may be
    receding a bit, says
    Did you really just
    say that to me?

    What he doesn't know
    is that when we're walking
    together, when we get
    to the curb
    I sometimes start to reach
    for his hand
