    Summary

    In another universe, captaining a starship is Jim Kirk's first, best destiny. In this one, he's just been laid off from a soulless office job, he's struggling to make ends meet in New York City, and the closest thing he has to a love life is a strange fixation on a Shirley Temple-drinking regular at his new bartending gig. But when he forges a connection with this compelling stranger and begins unraveling the mystery of his father's death, Jim stumbles onto a secret that will change his life forever.

    Summary

    “So do you have a name?”

    “Yeah.” The man who had saved his life less than an hour ago – the white-haired, absurdly buff, weirdly sexy man Jaskier might have called taciturn if he was feeling charitable and surly if he was feeling less so – dug into his second burger.

    Jaskier waited. “Are… you going to tell me what it is?”

    The man paused mid-bite, and looked at him reproachfully as if to say how dare you. How dare you interrupt me. Can’t you see I’m enjoying my cheeseburger. Can’t you see this cheeseburger is the most important thing in my life right at the moment. He swallowed, and said, “Geralt.”

    It turns out almost getting eaten by a werewolf can make your whole life go careening off in a new, terrifying, wondrous, artistically flourishing direction. Who knew?

    Summary

    Speaking the words of an oath isn't what makes you a good paladin, and knowing how to tell lies is only part of what makes a great con man. Where do they find common ground?

    Well, turns out they both know how to commit to the bit.

    Summary

    "We have in our possession a collar," Parva says, shooting her partner a look. "Whosoever wears it is afflicted with the curse of lycanthropy."

    "That sounds like a bummer for whoever wears it," Ed says. Parva transfers her look to him. The second shoe drops. "Wait. No. Me? You want me to wear a cursed collar?"

    When Xenk is captured and forced to fight in an illegal werewolf fighting ring, the obvious answer is for Ed to go and rescue him...by willingly cursing himself with lycanthropy. Right? Right.
