    Summary

    “His majesty hardly spared me a glance on our wedding night, so it cannot be that I am ugly," Wei Ying shakily says. “He does not even know how I look like. Or is my build not graceful or slender enough? What exactly is so wrong with me?”

    The First Prince, Lan Xichen, sighs. “You will soon find that in this palace, we do not ask questions.”

    “No, we are sent away instead, to die a lonely death,” Wei Ying laughs sorely. But with that very thought, he rips off his red wedding veil, the last thing tethering him to the emperor, and vows angrily under his breath, “But know this: I will live more than well.”

    Or, Wei Ying is wed to emperor Lan Wangji in order to save the Gusu Lan empire. But instead of the blissful marriage he was promised, he is spurned and sent to the cold palace—until a chance encounter changes his fate.

    Summary

    Jaskier could feel the years catching up on him. A night spent sleeping outside now left him with aches that stayed all day. Trekking twenty miles in a day seemed far more daunting than it used to, and he found himself having to take far more breaks than he did a decade ago. More than that, Jaskier just felt weary. He was tired of constant travel and desperately hoping he could find a place to perform, even with all his fame. He needed a break, somewhere he could go and rest.

    Jaskier went to the coast.

    OR

    After the mountain, Jaskier decides he's done with Geralt, done with being his barker, and done with traveling the continent. He goes to the coast and opens up a tavern in the hopes of living a peaceful life. But just because you take the bard out of the music doesn't mean you can take the music out of the bard.

    Summary

    It's been three years since Jaskier ran, hand in hand with his little Lioness, Ciri. For three years his sole goal has been to keep her safe as they slowly make their way across the continent. When a gorgeous long-haul trucker with silver white hair picks them up one cold winter's night Jaskier knows the man is dangerous. When he sees just how dangerous first hand, Jaskier knows he should run- running from dangerous men has become the defining theme of his life, after all. But Jaskier has learned how to read a man's intent the hard way and Geralt doesn't feel dangerous. Rather, Jaskier feels safer with him near- Geralt is no threat to them, Jaskier is sure of it. He would never hurt them.

    As long as Geralt never finds out who Jaskier is running from, or just how precious his charge actually is, that is.
