Summary
“If you—if you hate me after this please—please don't—” Wei Ying covers his mouth with his hand and takes a breath before looking back at Lan Wangji. “You know…I would understand. It would…I would understand, if you left, after learning this. It’s—”
“I could never hate Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji interrupts. He is unable to listen to Wei Ying spiraling in this way. He is unable to listen to Wei Ying try to convince him that he would be fine if Lan Wangji left him. “I do not—I will not leave you over this, whatever it is.”
Wei Ying nods, wiping away at the tears that had collected at the corners of his eyes. “So I—when I got Chenqing…in the Burial Mounds?” he begins…
Or: There’s something horribly, deeply wrong with Chenqing.

Summary
“The song says a mantle or a maidenhead, but as far as I can see you have neither of those. How about we strike a deal witcher?”
“I don’t bargain with the likes of you, fairy.” The witcher growled. He was tired from the journey to Carterhaugh and had no interest in playing games with the fae, no matter how pretty.
“You don’t have a choice, witcher. You came to Carterhaugh of your own free will,” the fairy Jaskier then more sang than spoke: “You pulled the rose, you broke the tree. For that you must pay.”
A retelling of the ballad Tam Lin wherein Jaskier is Tam Lin.
