    Summary

    Twenty years ago, the Warlord of the North came down out of the mountains and slew the king of Kaedwen, taking crown and kingdom for his own. Everyone expected him to be overthrown almost immediately, but he has only grown ever more secure in his position. Finally, the other countries around Kaedwen have begun to negotiate with him as they would any other king.

    To seal the new treaty between Redania and the Warlord, Lady Milena de Roggeven, third daughter of the Duke of Roggeven, has been sent to marry whichever of the Warlord’s men he chooses.

    Milena is starkly terrified of everything about her new husband; every rumor she has ever heard about the barbarians of the north seems worse than the last, and Lambert clearly despises the very thought of marriage.

    Lambert of the Wolves is still grieving his lost lover, dead more than three years now. The last thing he wants is to be married off to a terrified stranger, and he can’t imagine why Geralt and Eskel think he of all people is suited to a diplomatic marriage.

    And neither of them suspects the treachery that lies behind the treaty which binds them together.

    Summary

    If you asked, Alina Starkov could not tell you how she got involved with Aleksander Morozov, only that it was a series of strange circumstances that caused her to go catapulting into his life like a wrecking ball. But for the first time in what feels like her whole life, Alina says yes to what she wants - simply because she wants it.

    --
    Alina looks at him, realizes that they are just inches away, and if she leaned closer, she could kiss him. If she were braver. If she knew how to want.

    “Why do you call me Miss Starkov?” She asks instead, letting her senses be dulled by the scent of his cologne and the strong fingers on her jaw, the intoxicating proximity of him. Aleksander’s lips quirk up into a smile, his grip tightening ever so slightly as he pulls her closer, and she goes, like a moth to a flame.

    “Names have meaning,” Aleksander shrugs a little, the movement so natural and easy, that for a moment Alina envies him. Envies and desires this man, who has everything at his fingertips, who knows how to take and take — all Alina knows how to do is give. “Soon enough, Miss Starkov, I’m sure I’ll have yours.”

    Summary

    What if Wei WuXian was saved after the siege of the Burial Mounds? What if his hidden legacy revealed that he was the heir of Wen RuoHan? What if he assumed a new identity and rebuilt QishanWen with the support of Lan WangJi, Jiang Cheng and some supposedly dead master cultivators?

    AU/Canon divergence after the siege of Burial Mounds. Angst, fluff, romance, comedy...and some adventures.

    And we promise a happy ending.
