    Summary

    “I don’t know man,” Diego says, frustrated. “I’m not a doctor, or a space-jumping expert. All I know is that he pushed himself too far, but he said he was fine- or would be fine with some time and rest.”
     
    Five frowns. Did he say that? He doesn’t recall that conversation. He’s not sure why he would say something like that to Diego, either. It doesn’t feel like he’s getting better in the slightest. If anything, he’s probably getting worse—

    “Then fucking say that!” Diego snaps loudly, startling Five. “For God’s sake, Five, I’m trying to help you over here! You think I’m having the time of my life sitting here and watching you like this?”

    Or, Five takes a moment to catch his breath in 1963, and manages to lose it all over again in 2019. (Spoilers for Season 2— specifically, 2x10 and (speculatively) beyond)

    Summary

    Talia presses her wrist against the bridge of her nose, anguish and grief painted across her whole being. “You killed him,” she whispers, breathless. “You slit my son's throat and left him there.”

    Dick stares at her. Bruce doesn't kill. She knows that. It's part of why they aren't together anymore. She couldn't get him to.

    “...He's not your son,” Batman protests quietly.

    Dick's eyes widen. It's not a denial.

    Summary

    Jaskier gets jumped by a bunch of bandits, who happen to be so dumb as to stab him with an ancient artifact. When he wakes up, the bandits are slaughtered, and Jaskier has a new hunger. He decides he can't and won't live like this, and searches out a witcher to kill him when he's unsuccessful himself. Of course......he finds Geralt, or does Geralt find him?

    ---000---
    When Jaskier wakes up, the light is uncommonly bright to his eyes, and he has to squint against it. He’s not sure he remembers going to sleep the previous night, and briefly accuses himself of gulping down the bottle of Toussainti wine he’d filched from the inn, leaving a few crowns in its place.

    He rubs his hands over his face, and realises that as he does so, the strange metallic scent that hangs in the air gets stronger. When he pulls his hands away to look at his palms, he stiffens. There are red stains on the skin, some of it dried and flaking in the creases.

    It’s very definitely not wine.
