    Summary

    A novelization of the first D&D campaign I ever played in. Mostly archived here for my friends to read, but here's a synopsis:

    A cult leader, the avatar of an elven god, a wayward monk, and a masked man are all afflicted with nightmares that draw them to the same small island.

    Summary

    To say Patrick Jane is a difficult man to find would be an understatement.

    Lisbon asks Frye, “Don’t you already know where he is?”

    “Come on, you know that’s not how it works.”

     

    (short AU intro where Frye is the consultant, instead of Jane)

    Summary

    “Bucky said it’d be casual.” Matt shrugs— though it’s clear he feels a little guilty, as usual. “Not like I was being taken to meet the parents.”

    “No, just Captain America—"

    “I think he prefers Steve.”

    In pursuit of being a good wingman, Foggy agrees to three double dates. It all goes downhill from there.

    Summary

    Ava Randolph gives Tommy Bucks 24 hours to get out of Miami. He, unsurprisingly, doesn’t take her advice. She keeps her word.

    Summary

    “You could be—” Hajime pauses, a little hesitant to share his theory, “the protagonist. A blank slate.”

    “With bright pink hair? And sharp teeth?”

    (In which Kazuichi is the protagonist, and Hajime is just trying to be helpful)

    Summary

    This time, it’s Raylan that hesitates.

    He doesn’t have time, in the moment between the gun being fired and the bullet hitting his chest, to think about why that is. It’s certainly not any misplaced affection for Arlo, it’s certainly not a lack of ability to beat him to the draw. If he’s honest, he thinks he just didn’t believe Arlo would actually pull the trigger.

    Arlo shoots Raylan, and Boyd realizes he needs to change his priorities.

    Summary

    “This seems—” Shuichi pauses, not sure how to put this so it doesn’t sound judgmental. “A little unorthodox?”

    “No, not unorthodox at all! A good detective uses all five of his senses— even more, if he’s a real detective, like me!”

    (When rocket parts go missing, Shuichi needs some help from the Ultimate Detective to find the culprit.)

    Summary

    “So we agree that something is up?”

    Lambert huffs and sits back, obviously still disappointed that his vampire theory got thrown out so fast. “Yeah, something.”

    Summary

    From what he’s been told, the new addition to their little pre-apocalypse team is a physicist working on tech for a competing company, someone far outside Caleb’s scope. The fact that they still have competing companies of mech-developers while there are aliens bursting from the sea to eat them is a nightmare all its own, but the writhing horrors of capitalism are a beast that science, and the Kaiju guts strewn across the table before him, has proved ineffective against.

     

    In which Caleb, a biologist specializing in Kaiju, is assigned to share a lab with Essek, a physicist working on preventing the apocalypse.

    (Pacific Rim AU, featuring the wizards as scientists.)

    Summary

    “Have you considered other ways to disguise yourself?”

    “None with more showmanship than my current system.”

     

    (Jaskier goes to Kaer Morhen- though, he has to get a little creative. Turns out, faking your death can have unexpected complications.)

    Summary

    “I’m only doing this for you.”

    Kazuichi glares, hoping it’ll make him look more serious, but Hajime only looks relieved. It hurts to know Hajime had been expecting him to say no, but he can’t blame him, given the circumstances.

    “I can’t thank you enough.”

    “You’ll owe me one.” This seems to have no effect, so Kazuichi adds, “I’m serious! I should be compensated for going anywhere near that creep.”

     

    (Kazuichi makes Nagito's new hand. As a favor, for his good friend, Hajime, of course. No other reason.)

    Summary

    “I was thinking we could try something normal this year.”

    Kaito raises his head, not confused by the non-sequitur, but mildly offended- insofar as any of Kaito’s expressions can be called mild. “I thought our other dates were normal?"

    (Kaito and Shuichi work together to plan the perfect Valentine's Day date.)

    Summary

    “Where’d you learn that?”

    Matt falters, promptly forgetting all of his predetermined excuses, and settles on, “My dad was a boxer.”

    He’s pretty sure they’re going to go back to ignoring each other and not asking questions, when Bucky speaks up, “Will you show me?”

     

    Matt and Bucky meet at Fogwell's. It all goes downhill from there.

    Summary

    “I know what you want.”

    The green cloak chuckles and a pair of green eyes peers out of the darkness, piercing through the shadows that conceal the rest of his features. He winks at the Raven Queen then shifts so the hood covers his eyes again, showing only his smirk.

    “That makes this considerably easier—“

    “I did not say I would give it to you.”

    Summary

    The night before his performance in Posada, Jaskier dreams of Geralt. He sees the white hair and the duel swords, hears his grunts and swears, and feels the punch to the gut, sensation lingering for minutes while he lies awake in bed.

     

    It only occurs to him afterward that he had the whole damn day to think of a way to introduce himself and he still didn’t come up with a better opening line than “bread in his pants”.

     

    (In which Jaskier has prophetic dreams and Geralt is a little slow on the uptake.)
