    Summary

    “You love your mother, Sherlock?”

    John watched the muscles in Sherlock’s jaw jump. He nodded in one sharp jerk.

    “Then we’re going to her party and making her happy.” John let out a resigned sigh. “As a ruddy couple, you bastard.”

    Summary

    "If life could give me one blessing, it would be to take you off my hands!"

    A long, pregnant pause lingers between them, wherein a small eternity passes before him in a handful of seconds. There's a wrench in his chest, where his heart should be, shattering to pieces. He might choke on it, the blood he knows should be slicking his throat and suffocating him. All very poetic, he decides, and fitting, for the end. Geralt is still looking at him, snarling, tension rolling off him in waves, teetering there on the edge of the cliff, and he makes his decision.

    "Have it your way, then, Geralt."

    Yellow eyes, furious and, if he should let himself indulge, afraid, are the last thing he sees as he takes a step back towards the edge and then he's falling, falling, and there is nothing but blue sky and fog and the edges of the mountains rising to meet him.

    (Or: Jaskier makes a different decision, that day on the mountain. It all just sort of goes to shit from there, really.)

    Summary

    Yennefer took a deep breath, trying to calm the helpless panic that started to creep into her chest at the witcher's lack of care. She muted her voice to a near whisper, knowing full well that he would still be able to hear her, and called after him, in a final, desperate bid for his help:

    “He was smuggling elves out of Redania!”

    The witcher stopped abruptly.

    She could see how his shoulders tensed, as he stood there, stock still at the end of the street. Nothing happened for a long moment.

    And then, he turned his head, his eyes truly locking on hers for a second time. Only they were different now. Still gold and piercing, but serious. Without a trace of the previous contempt.

    “Fuck.”

    Yennefer is fruitlessly searching for Jaskier after he gets kidnapped in Oxenfurt.

    Then, she runs into Lambert.

    Summary

    "Which child minder?" Sherlock asks with an air of suspicion. "Not the same one you used last Tuesday, I hope. Rosamund doesn't like that insufferable woman, and who could blame her? Imagine, thinking someone of Watson's intellect would be duped by cheap parlour tricks and tomfoolery."

    "... Sherlock, it's peek-a-boo. Everybody plays peek-a-boo with babies."

    After moving back into 221B with Rosie, John discovers that Sherlock has been hiding a chronic health condition caused by John's attack on him in the morgue. Together they navigate the fallout, becoming a family in the process.
