(Thank you so much to my auction-winner for being so flexible with me submitting this a few weeks late; it's been a hell of a year, and you've been so supportive. FTH brought us together, but your kindness and sense of humor and overall fabulosity are what's made us friends.)
Link Fey is an absolute sweetheart, and she totally knocked this one out of the park! Oliver and Elio are perfectly in character, and she does a great job playing with the setting as well!Title: rings pearls & all

Summary: “Does he fuck you,” said the witch.
Thank all the gods they were alone in the dingy stone courtyard on the edge of the world.
“Um,” said Jaskier. “To whom do you refer.”
Link I have no excuse for this. I like Geralt and Jaskier and I'm horny. You guys know the drill by now.Title: in the hall of the conquering sun (written for

(Written August, 2013.)
Link Theresa actually introduced this one to me through her Man From UNCLE fic nuclear winter, which uses a similar premise (consider that a bonus rec for this installment). I just absolutely love it! Sirius being into muggle rock music is SUCH a great idea, and Remus is so well-written here!Title: Once Upon an October

Summary: "How does a common, uneducated whore know about witchers?"
"Everyone knows about witchers," Jaskier replies. "You have a reputation. And our clients babble a lot, especially when drunk."
-
Geralt chooses a male prostitute for the night. Jaskier is beautiful, intriguing and... unpredictable. Things don’t quite go according to plan.
Link So this one was originally published as a one-shot, but the author is going back and adding some backstory as to how Jaskier ended up in this brothel, and it's SO good, y'all. Seeing Jaskier as young as 18 is such a neat change of pace, and I'm SO excited to see where this fic goes!
