Why u always lyin? by mark_against_stone

Summary
Even Eskel was looking remarkably less put together than usual, staring intensely at the bard with his hands pressed together like he was an impossible, irritatingly smug enigma he desperately wanted to understand, and Geralt could almost see the question marks around his head.
He immediately understood the reaction deep in his soul, and dryly wondered why he'd expected anything less.

This is essentially a Kaer Morons comic, except I can't draw that well so you get a ~storytelling tapestry~ instead -

Summary
Barry's failing a class, and he knows a classmate who should be able to help - but she wants a transfer of skills as payment. That, or his shoes.
(Meanwhile, a flustered Lup isn't sure how she managed to agree to let someone teach her to cook, of all things.)

Hot 'n' Spicy rivals (no, not like that) by mark_against_stone

Summary
A third head pops up in his vision and a ginger human man, who seems more familiar than the others, appears from where he's rifling through Barry's possessions chest.
He's actually very familiar, he realises, and gapes as Magnus 'The Hammer' Burnsides, silver medalist to Neverwinter's Hot N Spicy Challenge three years running, trots over cheerfully (they do that a lot, he's realising. These adventurers seem far too excited about this gerblin cave) to see what's going on.
Barry Bluejeans, gold medalist to Neverwinter's Hot N Spicy Challenge three years running, sees the lightbulb flick on when Magnus recognises him.
More accurately, he sees the fighter's jaw drop.
--
Technically canon compliant, but only because Griffin and Travis didn't explicitly say that Barry and Magnus WEREN'T battling it out behind the scenes eating spicy food for the goofs

Earth's #1 Xenobiologist (Rocky wears the strap) by beakus-freakus (Trixree)

Summary
If this record is a confession, let it be a complete one: the human-thinking-machine Rocky was gifted has everything on it. With the aid of the device Rocky had made back aboard the Mary that translates light on Grace’s human-visual displays to texture on Rocky’s Eridian-sonar display, accessing all of humanity’s combined wisdom is as easy as making a database query.
Rocky consumes approximately 1,600 Earth-hours of human pornography before the ship’s engines cease to function, leaving it dead and stranded in space. Again.

Summary
He meets Eskel after it all.
He doesn't mean to. He charts no course down from the mountain, follows no path, seeks no signs. His only thought is away, away, away.
Eskel is good, and gentle, and kind. But Jaskier is too old for kindness.
"Why couldn't it have been you I met in Posada all those years ago?" Jaskier asks desperately, "Where were you twenty years ago? Where were you ten? Where were you when I was young and green and full of music? How dare you come to me now, when I am this."
oOo
Can be read as pairings or as gen. Inspired by The Last Unicorn.Bookmarked by mark_against_stone
