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
“Jaskier.”
“You just came towards the light to growl and hiss at whoever was stupid enough to be camping in a monster’s hunting ground.”
“Jaskier.”
“No need to yell at me. It took twenty years, but I’ve got the message,” Jaskier snapped, facing Geralt once again. “No more jumping into the way or annoying ballads. You can get your peace and I’ll just…”
“Jaskier! I can’t fucking see!” Geralt yelled. His face was twisted in frustration.____
Or Geralt gets spelled and Jaskier just has to help him even though he's hurting -

Summary
When Jaskier is young, he is sold to a slaver to solve his parents' problems with money.
He ends up at the royal court of Tretogor, a gold-collared bedslave, reserved for the royal line. Unlike the others, Jaskier doesn't settle into his fate, but rebels in what little ways he can.
It's no wonder then, that when the warlord of the north visits Tretogor for negotiations, Jaskier finds himself in the middle of it all.---000---
His mother's face is sad, and Julian wishes more than anything he could change that. She tucks a lock of his soft brown hair behind his ear.
“Remember how you said you wanted to help?”
Julian nods.
“There’s someone who… is coming to take a look at you. If you do well, we’ll get enough to pay the rent that’s still due. If we’re very lucky, we’ll get enough to buy back the farm.”
“What do I have to do?” Julian asks.
A tear tracks down his mother’s cheek. -

Summary
Jaskier is an omega and part of an arranged marriage to unite the Pankratz and Von Rivia crime families. He is tied to an alpha, Geralt aka White Wolf and both see the marriage as duty, but how much of it is purely duty? Meanwhile, a rival gang upsets the balance the Von Rivia’s have created in their city and it turns out two recently married criminals are just the two needed to restore order.
Side Note: Eskel/Jaskier is brief and does not last.
Sider Note: this universe is inspired by the Edo and Meiji Periods in Japanese history, mixed with the Witcher-verse, and the Omega Verse. So if you’re a bit confused, that’s understandable.

Summary
To a witcher, touch is almost never a good thing.
Touch means something or someone has gotten too close. Close enough to rend open the places where armour doesn’t protect the vulnerabilities underneath. Close enough to see the pulse where it beats just under the surface, to identify where to strike.
To Geralt, touch is everything beyond that, too. He craves the moments where touch doesn’t mean pain, damage, or potential death, but where it means safety and care. In a witcher’s life, those moments are far and few between.
Geralt bears it and watches the seasons change until he can take out that part of himself for winter, and let it breathe.He’s used to it, and he’s already endured it for decades when he meets Jaskier

Summary
Remus is difficult - he knows that. He can't hold down a job, he doesn't like to let people get close, and he really sucks at living up to the person he'd hoped to be as a kid. When he's offered a job to smile for the camera and pretend to be in love, he thinks it might be the best thing he ever could've hoped for.
Except, he's working with Sirius Black. The icon of modern rock who is actually just a moody, unpredictable, hot mess. A really hot mess.

Summary
There was no madness in the eyes looking out from behind lank white hair, close enough he could reach out and brush it behind the witcher's ear.
"Are you bound to defend and serve me?" Julian asked, tilting his head slightly.
"Yes," the wolf growled, low and rumbling and nearly inaudible.
-----
Prince Julian of Kerack, when he came of age and was officially named his father's heir, was gifted four bound and controlled witchers by the king of Kaedwen: the last four wolves of Kaer Morhen. Julian would prefer to accept the gift and set them free, but is forbidden from doing that on pain of their deaths. So instead, all he can do is apologize and treat them decently.
This simple, compassionate act sets off a series of events that will irrevocably change his life, his witchers' lives, and the lives of everyone living in the Northern Kingdoms.
(Technically incomplete in that the current ending was not the planned endpoint, but does not have a cliffhanger and is functionally a complete story. Subscribe to be notified when the hiatus ends.)

Summary
Library's have souls, they say. This is not quite true, however in every urban myth there is a grain of truth.
In Kaer Morhen that truth has just woken up with a start. In a world no longer like the one she was used to, she is looking to resume her helpful duties to everyone. Even if there is a lot less of them than before.
As books and scrolls begin turning up, it seems chaos is not far behind.
Well-meaning intentions go astray, misunderstanding all around and a long forgotten secret, leads to an eventful month.While poor Eskel (who thinks the gods hate him), suddenly finds his life has become a lot more… complex, strangely caught between a rock and hard place he can’t see.
Why is he the only one who keeps having to clean up this mess?
Something is going on in his home, yet Eskel feels like he is missing something.- Words:

Summary
Geralt takes a contract at a silent monastery and, against his better judgement, takes Jaskier with him.
"For a heartbeat, Jaskier wished he had listened to Geralt and stayed behind. The monastery was bizarre, the silent monks eerie.
The empty hallway. The mark on the wall he couldn't quite make out. The shadow figure that crept up and - did what to you? Something that killed, something that snuffed the life right out."
