Summary
This is the collection of my TAD art!
If anyone knows of a good place to host short videos that will allow embedding, let me know, since Squidge doesn't seem very happy with gifs.
I regularly add to this collection but it's easier on my anxiety if it's marked complete and it's not actually a story so each image is effectively complete at any given time!

Summary
Destiny.
The reason for all the times Merlin's life was at stake. The reason for half of Jaskier's problems, including his latest and very harsh heartbreak. But then again, the reason for the two of them bumping into each other for the first time.
Perhaps destiny is not that bad, after all?
OR
After his fight with Geralt, Jaskier goes to Camelot, where he meets Merlin, who's been through a lot as well. Things escalate quickly.

Summary
“What if I told you -” she begins, pouring them both a glass. When he looks at hers, the image mirrored in the glass is not her face. He blinks. “- that you could get away?”
“Get away from what?” he huffs, frustration seeping into his voice.
“This heartbreak, Jaskier.” She looks up sharply and their eyes meet. The shade of her eyes is not the right one. “That you could finally matter. For once in your short, miserable, human life… All you need to do is ask.”
After Yennefer saves his life from certain death, Jaskier doesn’t think he can get so lucky twice in a row. And so, stuck in a prison cell, he tries to think of a way to get himself out - tries to think of the words he had heard the sorceress mutter. Turn your back to the forest, hut hut. Turn your front to me, hut hut…
(There’s no way he could get himself in even more trouble, right?)

Summary
Jon's not expecting his reaction to "That Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace." He and Martin share a wry, knowing look at the lines about sleep and weariness (Jon has been better at following a healthy sleep schedule lately, he has), but then the tempo picks up and the song goes from quiet and tired to loud and raw and the next set of lyrics hit Jon in the chest like a blow:
You're not a coward 'cause you cower
You're brave because they broke you
Yet broken still you breatheAfter he and Martin arrive Somewhere Else, Jon discovers a band called The Amazing Devil. Some of the lyrics turn out to be...extremely relatable.
