Notes: commissioned by sil | astarion was turned into a true vampire ignoring actual game mechanics bc i could, stfu

Summary:
astarion gets approached by a familiar face and asked about his purpose in life.

Excerpt:

"How are you holding up, after breaking up with that last sweet thing?”

The bottle didn’t slip out of Astarion’s grip, but it was a near thing. Its thick glass thudded loudly against the polished wood when he set it down, a tightness in his chest.

He narrowed his eyes at Callaern, but the vampire held his gaze without flinching.

“Such a horrible habit of yours, asking questions you already know the answer to.”

Notes: commission for reijen

Summary:
Astarion struggles with dealing with the aftermath of the fight. Amar knows him well.

Excerpt:

It occurred to Astarion that Amar had put a lot more thought into this. A quiet place, a different environment from what Astarion was used to—something that he could not associate to his life, but he could associate to their shenanigans, to their new adventures. To Amar, rather than to— before.

Notes: written for śmiech! Thanks for being so patient ;;

Summary:
Jaskier and Geralt are in a relationship. While Geralt does have feelings for Jaskier, he struggles to think about sex as anything other than something transactional. What else could a witcher like him offer to someone like Jaskier, after all?

Excerpt:

Not much changes between them: the witcher kills monsters; the bard sings. But also: they fuck.

Relationship: Jaskier/Geralt
Tags: Canon divergence, baby Ciri, getting together, hurt/comfort, mention of starvation, sleeping together, sickfic, first kiss
Wordcount: 6790
Notes: commission and xmas gift for xxhhunter

Summary:
What if Geralt had kidnapped Ciri when she was four months old, and accidentally involved Jaskier in the whole baby-rearing thing? Or also: the one Geralt and Jaskier spend the winter watching baby Ciri grow, travel half the Continent and fail to part from each other.

Excerpt:

Geralt was a wonder to watch. He made faces at her so she could try and mimic him, he guided her little hands over the textured fabrics of Jaskier’s fancy outfits he’d graciously lent them just for this very exercise, and the more he made Ciri laugh, the softer his smiles became. Jaskier was completely addicted to the way his whole face lit up in wonder when she did something new or unexpected.

Notes: commissione per purpleblow

Summary:
Snow e Yuffie si incontrano nelle pianure di Archylte e si mettono in viaggio insieme verso l'oceano della vita.

Excerpt:

Cominciano a sentirne l’odore ancora prima di vederlo, preceduto dalla vegetazione intorno a loro che cresce verdeggiante e fitta, dai gabbiani che volano sopra le loro teste queruli e affamati; si rivolgono sorrisi identici prima di lanciarsi come bambini in una corsa folle in mezzo all’erba alta, risate che affiorano sulle labbra ed emergono dai polmoni, i piedi che affondano prima nel terriccio e poi nella sabbia. L’oceano si apre di fronte a loro come un abbraccio crudele, grigio acciaio sotto un cielo che promette pioggia, la spiaggia bianca e ocra che si allunga da una parte e dall’altra a perdita d’occhio.

Notes: commissioned by atypical_chiss

Summary:
Aziraphale and Crowley re-learn how to act around each other after the Apocalypse That Wasn't, grow closer in the process, and Crowley realises that after a lifetime of rejections he finally found a place he can call home.

Excerpt:

As he watches Aziraphale, clad in a pair of linen trousers, matching waistcoat and a pale shirt with its sleeves rolled up, kneeling on the blanket as he cuts up the cake, Crowley thinks he will never get used to it. He spent a long time sleeping, but he never had dreams; maybe this is it.

Notes: for ScubaJack4, thanks for your support!

Summary:
A sparring session between Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison ends up taking care of their pent up tensions in more senses than one.

Excerpt:

They managed to take each other down a couple times each; as the fight dragged on, the energy between them started changing. They weren't trying to land as many punches as humanly possible anymore; they read each other movements, leaning into them, keeping the flow going, like a conversation, like a dance. From angry to hungry.

Notes: commissioned by thedrunkenone

Summary:
Hanzo has been falling for McCree, but he isn't sure about the cowboy's feelings on the matter.

Excerpt:

“Are we dating?” Hanzo interrupts him with sudden clarity, and he’s glad that it comes out slightly flat and confused, because he would rather die than sound frightened and panicky as he’s feeling now. He spent all that time wondering if McCree was even interested in the first place but maybe, maybe they were already past that.
