    Summary

    John-117 spent four years fighting insurrectionists across UNSC controlled space, only to be bundled into cryo and told he has a new objective; guard a UNSC camp on an alien planet, under the watchful gaze of the Vadam people, and the higher ups who are already furious with him for failing his last mission. (A mission that cost John-117 more than his rank).

    Somehow, somewhere along the line, John-117 stops being John-117; stops becoming ‘the human’, and just becomes ‘John.’ He moves into the local town without meaning too and, somehow, becomes the local babysitter.

    It’s only when Thel ‘Vadam, Kaidon of the Vadam region, returns from meetings at the capital that John realises how deep he is in this new life. It’s suddenly made worse by the fact that this Thel is somehow head over heels in love with him.

    ”Honestly,” Kelly tells him, “Only you, John.”

    OR, An exploration of worldbuilding for Sangheili culture, a ‘what if the war never happened/happened very differently’ AU, and what if John-117 is somehow great with children.

    FT, cute Sangheili children with cowbells, ponchos, (lots of Ponchos), and the slow rebuilding of a life after War.

    Summary

    “Can’t afford it,” Geralt grunted.

    “It’s not that expensive to rent a bed -” Jaskier started.

    It stings to have it pushed in his face that his life isn’t normal, so far beyond normal that someone like Jaskier can’t fathom it.

    “It’s expensive to rent a private room,” Geralt couldn’t keep the snarl out of his voice. “Or do you think anyone wants to sleep near a witcher?”

     

    When Geralt meets Jaskier in Posada, he is jaded, bitter and so lonely some days he thinks he might kill him. Jaskier is young, bright, and not afraid of tarnishing his reputation by standing by a witcher.

    Years later, Geralt repays the kindness.

    Summary

    “Are you sure he has to be in water?”

    Eskel’s question is almost drowned out beneath the piercing shrieks of the seal pup currently vocalizing like he’s being dealt a slow and torturous death instead of dipped gingerly into the coolest of the hot springs. Aiden and Lambert are maintaining their positions nearby, but Geralt can see the same tension in their muscles that he feels in his own, the urge to flee from the painful pitch of the baby’s screams. All four witchers wince when Jaskier tilts his tiny snout back and manages to hit an even higher note, a warbling cry of desperation.

    (scenes/ideas from the premise of my fic "lessons in selkiesitting" that won't necessarily fit in the plot of that story)

    Summary

    Unexpected side effect of Jaskier praising witchers far and wide: children making the logical jump that witchers can handle ALL monsters. Including such subspecies as the under-the-bed variety.

    And, well, what are you supposed to say to a child who asks you to fight a monster for them?

    (Note: Chapter 5 is the reason for the M rating. All other chapters are T for language.)
