    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins, esteemed bachelor of the Shire, is less than pleased at many things during the start of his quest to slay a dragon with the joyous company of thirteen Dwarves and a particularly meddlesome Wizard. But, above all, he especially loathes the food --- in particular, the bread. Which is why he brought his very own sourdough starter to feed along the journey, leading him to secretly scurrying off into the night to grow it (for Dwarves, as they are, would most definitely make fun of him).

    And as nosy as they were, two Dwarven princes can't help but follow Bilbo one night to see what on earth he was doing, bringing them to a grave, completely avoidable misunderstanding that has the Company of Thorin Oakenshield scrambling to rid their new burglar of his...'destructive habits'.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins has returned to the Shire fundamentally changed. The hobbits, nosy neighbors and cheerful children alike, notice it in his newly-acquired treasures he displays proudly upon his wall, his increasingly unstable temper, and penchant for telling stories of his grand escapades by his bench in the morning. Well, word-of-mouth (and, judging by Master Baggins' hidden little plait with a golden clasp at the end) is that Bilbo had been engaged to some distant Dwarf: or, that is, he wants them to believe such. After all, Bilbo had always been a bit of a wild sort, and, in his youth, liked to make up stories in his favor to make all the other fauntlings jealous.

    Cue the hatching of a scheme by one Lobelia Sackville-Baggins to get her cousin to admit his lie. How else may he prove it, if Thorin Oakenshield lays cold in a stone coffin half a world away? How else can Bilbo show that...whatever had been going on with them during those 14 months...was real as the acorn he had buried in his garden?

    OR, ALTERNATIVELY: everyone thinks bilbo made up a deceased hot steamy dwarf husband for the fun of it. said hot steamy dwarf husband is actually NOT deceased, and he is also very late to tea.

    Summary

    She’s five the first time her father tries to explain to her that she’ll inherit his kingdom someday. "When I die," he starts, then takes one look at her face, her big shining eyes and horrified expression, swears, and gives up.

    Summary

    Jaskier doesn’t actually know how much time has passed since the black-cloaked Nilfgaardians grab him after a performance in a shitty tavern in the backcountry of northern Kaedwen. He’d assumed--foolishly, apparently--that he was far enough north that any Nilfgaardian soldiers would be few and far between, likely just scouts or even deserters. It would have been hard to actually get any further north--the little backwater town where he’d been singing was just a day from the mountains. Anymore travel, and he’d find himself skirting the Trail up to Kaer Morhen, the Warlord’s Keep, and, well. He’s brazen, but not that brazen.

    (or: a wandering bard bites off more than he can chew with the political ballads, accidentally makes friends with a princess in exile, and finds the Warlord of the North in his debt.)

    Summary

    Jaskier is a badly beaten omega belonging to King Vizimir with little hope for the future. He had even less hope when he’s told he’s going to be given away to the Witchers, bloodthirsty beasts, as assurance that Redania will keep to the peace treaty.

    Jaskier has little hope of surviving the next few days, let alone of finding freedom and love.
