    Summary

    Here, at the centre of these people, all of them desperate for one drop of Will’s attention, this moment of excitement and pride that the two of them share feels somehow private. But of course, Geoffrey already knows that that is Will’s peculiar gift, better and more enduring than bravery or physical skill or any of the rest of it: Will is sincere.

    Summary

    Though Jaskier knew Ciri had received Witcher training, he was sure she severely lacked in the Knowledge of Monsters department. And so he was watching out for her. From his place in the bushes with the horses, as the three wyverns sprang to attack the Witcher and Witcher-in-Training, Jaskier’s eyes were only on Ciri.

    When Ciri strayed three feet too far into the open, Jaskier sprang to his feet, knowing she had not exactly mastered Aard to fend the wyverns off.

    When Ciri got distracted with a wyvern that stooped low, Jaskier was already running. Because what Ciri did not know (probably) was that wyverns were smart, and when one purposefully swung low, it was so another could ambush from behind.

    Geralt, who was many feet too far in the open dealing with the third wyvern, could not react in time. And so it was Jaskier who went sprinting without a second thought, even before the second Wyvern had begun its swoop, thinking nothing more than to 'Save her, Gods, anyone but Ciri' and he was barely able to shove her out of the way before he was airborne, the second wyvern’s sharp teeth tearing into his flesh as it flung him.

    Summary

    “after all this?” jason snaps impulsively, and the temple gets hotter.

    “yes, pontifex, after all this. there is but one person you have left to face. kneel, and pray for courage.”

    the charmspeak pulls jason to the floor, and the force of his knees striking the marble travels up his body, though it doesn’t hurt. “fuck,” he breathes.

    “pray.” there’s no charmspeak.

    jason prays. he shuts his eyes, doesn’t think of anything in particular, but knows he’s praying, nonetheless. he realises, in that instant, that he did this earlier - that, in every thought of dark brown eyes and curly hair, staring into the face of grief and desire, he had prayed. pothos was right.

    -

    jason realises he's bisexual.
