Summary
“I would like to borrow a shirt, please.” Jaskier says again before he waits expectantly. Geralt stares at him blankly. They’re parting today for the winter. The entire reason Geralt is going through his pack is to make sure nothing else of the bard’s has gotten mixed in with his things; Jaskier has a longstanding habit of sneaking things in for Geralt to carry, and the bard is far too spacey to be counted on to remember them all.
“We’re separating today,” Geralt points out at last. Four years into whatever it is he has with the bard makes him almost say ‘until spring,’ but a lifetime of watching people walk away stays him. He knows better than to put fragile hopes out into the world. People smash them far too easily. Jaskier, for his part, sighs as if Geralt is missing an obvious point.
“Yes, precisely!” The bard says, moving one hand to his hip so he can swing the other out widely. “And there’s a giant world of creepy crawlies out there! Beasts that would love nothing more than to devour a succulent specimen such as myself.”
(Jaskier asks to borrow a shirt to protect himself from monsters) (things escalate from there)

Summary
“An alpha’s scent would do the trick. It’s some very effective—if traditional—territorial practice to keep others away once they’re married. That means if I’m well and thoroughly marked, I’ll only smell like an alpha. Problem solved! Now, just to find Captain Bernard–”
“Hans!”
“Henry,” Hans replied, laughing.

Summary
To his surprise, though, the stranger doesn’t fight back. He puts his hands up and stares at Simon with wide eyes. “Hey, um,” he starts, “I know you probably can’t, like, understand me—but, uh, I was trying to help you. You looked a little—I kind of thought you were a corpse, to be honest.”
A corpse? Simon squints. The organs at his throat gasp for air strangely and then, failing that, close up with an air of finality. Briefly, he allows himself a glance back at the panel that leads to where he had been, but only sees a white wall smudged with the blood he’s still coated in.
“Yeah, you were kind of free-floating.” The guy swallows. “In space.”
Simon wants to squeeze the life out of him for saying such absolute bullshit—to his face, no less. Except his eyes still burn from that light. That blazing light. It couldn’t have been what he thought it was.
//
or: Doctor Ryland Grace brings what he assumes is a dead body onto the Hail Mary. One small issue: the body isn’t actually as dead as he thought, and Simon is freaking out.

Summary
Goro Takemura is a man without a master, now hunted by the very corporation that once defined his honor. On his quest for vengeance, he meets Virtue Wainwright, a steely netrunner who once served Arasaka from the inside and survived his fall from grace.
On the hunt and on the run, the two must now work together, an alliance they tell themselves is practical and temporary. But the corps that lord over Night City have a way of testing loyalty, and when Arasaka opens up a path to Takemura once more, he must decide what his devotion is truly worth—and who will pay the price for it.
