    Summary

    Over the years, Jaskier gets a reputation amongst witchers as the guy who will get you out of bind if you need him to. He’s the witchers’ bard, after all. Need a hand with your injuries? A safe place to hide? A friendly face? Find Jaskier.

    Jaskier, on the other hand, has no idea why witchers in trouble keep bumping into him on the road, but fate is funny that way, isn’t it? He’s certainly not going to turn them away

    Summary

    Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
    "I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
    "You can kill me now."
    AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    --

    AU where Simon did all his suffering on Earth and is dragged against his will onto the Hail Mary alongside Grace

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
    “Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
    “Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
    Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.

    Summary

    His fright at the thought that Coco might have been in danger when he woke up was heart-stopping. The feeling he had when he thought he’d forgotten one of the simplest spells in his collection was….something else. Like a vice around his throat. A garotte of terror.

    Olruggio can't claim to be the picture of perfect health and wellbeing, but things are getting strange. He's forgetting stuff - stuff that he really shouldn't be forgetting. And he doesn't know why.

    Summary

    Mobei-Jun does not speak human. He does not speak human even a little bit, as Shang Qinghua has tested by saying absolutely unholy filthy things to him that should have gotten him instantly murdered, but instead only earns him a blank, annoyed stare. 

    “My king, please, it’s only water. It’s unpoisoned, see? See, I’ll drink some. Ahh, tasty, safe water! Please, drink it? You’re sweating so much, you’re, like, melting.” He helps Mobei-Jun drink the water. “... God I really want to lick the sweat off your neck.” 

    Mobei-Jun does not react. Ahaha, this is kind of fun. Except for all the ways that it’s so fucking inconvenient. 

    -

    Shang Qinghua wrote PIDW to have many different languages; he does not remember this.

    Grace hasn't a clue what they are. Perhaps the risk of change isn't worth the confirmation of a label.

    Or

    Grace and Simon find a home within one another.

    "After the foxes have known our taste, after the raven has had its say, I'd be home with you."

    Summary

    So Rocky makes a list.

    Reasons why friend Grace’s eyes leaked this Eridian cycle:

    1. One of the students gave him a carving of Earth. It was lopsided and the continents were wrong, but Grace held it to his chest and his eyes started leaking. It looked like the round-soft-thing he gave me when we first said goodbye.

    Summary

    He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.

    "Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."

    It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.

    Grace meets Adrian of Erid

    Summary

    Arthur wakes up and realizes the last ten years of his life have been a dream. He is nineteen, and he can barely remember where he is. What he can remember is the ghost of Eames’ hands pressed down on his chest trying frantically to stop the blood flooding up around his fingers as Arthur died (as he woke up).

    Summary

    The Universe wasn't supposed to pick favorites, but if it did... Well. The ones who were going to save it would be pretty high on the list. It can't make things easier, but it can give them a bit of a warning.

    Or: Grace knows a little bit too much about what's going to happen to him. That doesn't mean he can change it. (Inspired by that one scene where he sees himself in the Don't Go Crazy room).

    “You’ll kind of be like my cavalier,” said the gorgeous man jovially.
    “He is not a cavalier,” corrected the woman. “Not even close.”

    aka: the locked tomb bloodymary au that (literally!) came to me in a dream. Simon is a former prisoner of the Ninth house prison tasked with protecting necromancer Ryland Grace and his best friend/fossil bone construct on a dangerous mission to a planet full of mysterious necromancy. fun stuff ensues.
