    Summary

    Harry finds a better life with the basilisk, but that doesn't mean it's easy. From inter-being feuds, to bloody prophecies, to elven unrest, Harry is in the eye of a hurricane that will change the wizarding world forever.

    Involving thestrals, merfolk, house elves, centaurs, acromantulae, and various other friends, denizens, and allies.

    This series is: Queer in a multitude of ways. Morally complex. A massively canon-divergent AU. Filled with oc's and non-oc's. A story about relationships, love, trust, friendship, healing ... and revolution.

    There are seven novel-length fics, plus a prologue (to leap and love the fall) and two longer stories (with courage unyielding and the gentle sunlight). The short story collection to journey on contains shorter stories set within the main timeline. All are posted in the correct reading order.

    Summary

    Jaskier's start in life was unfortunate, but sadly not unheard of. He was put in a sack, less than an hour old, and chucked in the river. For many in his position that would of been the end of it, but the Yaruga heard his cut off wail and swept him into her loving embrace.

    Less than an hour old and Jaskier had already died and been reborn as the newest child of Mama Yaruga.

    Summary

    “If you play any operas,” Crowley growled, “or classical music or Shostakovich, I’m going to cut off your internet for a century.”

    The pianist stared at him, blank as God’s useless hand.

    It went like this:

    Crowley put his plants back in his apartment, first.

    ——————————————

    Or, Crowley goes to that extremely alcoholic breakfast at the Ritz, anyway. Aziraphale is allowed to get a little angry.
    (Contains Season 2 spoilers!)

    Summary

    “Geralt!” Jaskier breathes and waves his hand. It’s made difficult by Geralt still holding it, but Jaskier tries his best. “My hand moves! Without me moving it!” He looks up at Geralt, his eyes massive. “Have you ever heard of such a thing?!”

    “Yes, you’re very talented,” Geralt says, and Jaskier thinks he would like to kiss him for that, but the witcher seems very high up away. “Now go to sleep.”

     

    (After an attack, Jaskier is under the influence of painkillers). (It goes about how you would expect).
