    Summary

    With the crops failing and village livestock falling ill, the alderman of a tiny town at the base of the Blue Mountains makes what he believes to be a just decision.

    He offers up the town herbalist - the only son of a local witch and a likely source of the growing plague - in exchange for a good harvest and healthy animals.

    Jaskier is the God of Sudden Opportunity, and when the most beautiful opportunity he's ever seen appears before him, right in the middle of the woods of Kaedwen... well, he should take it, right?

    Summary

    When the Redanian government decides to revive the ancient legal tradition of Correctional Marriage, Eskel is forced to take on his strangest Witcher contract yet: he must marry and "rehabilitate" a convicted smuggler who also happens to be a bard, a Viscount, and the longtime companion of Eskel’s best friend, Geralt of Rivia.

    Jaskier expected to waste away in a dark prison cell under the streets of his beloved Oxenfurt. Instead, he is given a simple but impossible choice: agree to marry a strange Witcher, or hang for his crimes. Jaskier soon finds himself handfasted to Eskel, a man he barely knows and cannot afford to trust.

    Bound together by fate, marriage, and a powerful spell known as the Ringbound Curse, Eskel and Jaskier’s destinies were linked long before their first meeting. Now they must learn how to work together, break the deadly curse, and find Geralt of Rivia before it’s too late.

    Summary

    Trapped by spells of obedience, the Witcher Alphas who remain serve as play things for the rich and powerful ruling class omegas.

    Jaskier has never believed in Alpha inferiority, but he too is trapped by the rules of society that subjugate the monster hunters of legend. When he ends up holding the leash of two Witchers, it will take cunning, determination, and trust to find a way out for all three of them.

    Summary

    A contract leaves Lambert with several extra feline appendages. It's far from the worse curse he's suffered, and he'd hardly be complaining if it weren't for their incredibly inconvenient habit of broadcasting his every emotion to anyone paying attention, rendering his usual defensive snark fairly useless. Unfortunately for all of them, his brothers never knew when to leave well enough alone, and it seems more than a few secrets and old wounds will be brought to light before this nightmare is over.

    Summary

    “What if it had been Oliwia, buttercup?” Lambert asks.

    Jaskier goes still. Little Oliwia, barely sixteen and still as naive as any noble child gets - if she had been sent as a sacrifice, that would have been - “Monstrous,” he says, through a dry throat. “That would be monstrous, and a grave insult to the Wolf, that anyone would think he would do harm to such an innocent - that he would be that sort of monster.”

    —inexplicifics, Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well, Ch. 2


    …What if it had been Oliwia?
