    Summary

    It was true, Cosette allowed, that he was nothing at all like the beautiful young man from the Luxembourg, but she must not judge him unkindly for that. The world was full of young men, and it would be quite tedious if all the handsome ones were handsome in the same way.

    An Unlikely Cure by ,

    Summary

    A what-if "Everyone Lives" LOTR AU. By "everyone", I mean "everyone", and by "everyone", I mean this series is focused around Gollum in an unlikely universe where he manages to help destroy the Ring without dying and, subsequently, becomes everyone else's problem, but in a very different way than he was a problem before. I read Gandalf's line "I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it" in FOTR, and started to wonder what on Earth you'd do with a friendly version of Gollum, assuming his extreme eccentricities and special requirements for darkness and raw meat would not just go away. I couldn't find much other fic about this question so I wrote this, and I grew to enjoy Sméagol's odd psychology in the process so I kept going for longer than I'd intended. I do hope you enjoy!

    Boromir and Bilbo are here too! Now featuring also Gríma Wormtongue (in a oneshot)!

    Please note that this is all book-based, not movie-based, and these stories lean heavily on book events that either weren't in the movies at all or were very different.

    Summary

    Jaskier gets jumped by a bunch of bandits, who happen to be so dumb as to stab him with an ancient artifact. When he wakes up, the bandits are slaughtered, and Jaskier has a new hunger. He decides he can't and won't live like this, and searches out a witcher to kill him when he's unsuccessful himself. Of course......he finds Geralt, or does Geralt find him?

    ---000---
    When Jaskier wakes up, the light is uncommonly bright to his eyes, and he has to squint against it. He’s not sure he remembers going to sleep the previous night, and briefly accuses himself of gulping down the bottle of Toussainti wine he’d filched from the inn, leaving a few crowns in its place.

    He rubs his hands over his face, and realises that as he does so, the strange metallic scent that hangs in the air gets stronger. When he pulls his hands away to look at his palms, he stiffens. There are red stains on the skin, some of it dried and flaking in the creases.

    It’s very definitely not wine.

    Summary

    Geralt has had a miserable time in Redania, contracts far en few between, and decides to go fill a contract put forth by the Viscount de Lettenhove.
    When the Viscount tells Geralt to name his price, he names a night with him. A night with the Viscount, just to see the other man waver and refuse. To Geralt's surprise, the noble agrees.

    --000--

    “Butcher,” the Viscount breathes out, and Geralt tries his best not to flinch.
    Instead, he looks at the man coolly. The word from the Viscount’s mouth makes him inexplicably angry. He shouldn’t be surprised at the moniker, hasn’t been in a long while, but right now it stings in a new and unexpected way. He’s angry that the man that loves his people so much, has tried to save their children and kill the monster, now isn’t even seeing him as the last resort he was when he was a nameless witcher.

    The viscount blinks dark lashes over his blue eyes and opens his mouth to speak, but Geralt cuts him off.

    “I said I’d take the contract. You said to name my price. Are those still the terms?”
