Summary
Words have power. Everyone knows this.
But Jaskier knows this more than most. For as much as he fancies toying around with words in his songs and lyrics, he’s careful to measure the weight and feel of them when they really matter.
Which is why Geralt’s words hit him like a physical blow, crack him open down to his very bones. They swirl and twine together with the words his queen had said, right before she banished him to the human realm.
Or
The one where Jaskier loves Geralt, and Geralt loves Jaskier, but it takes a lot for them to figure it out.

Summary
The arc reactor, despite being a technical marvel, is quite invasive. There have to be side effects to its presence in Tony's chest beyond the now-resolved Palladium poisoning. The team are about to find out just how debilitating it can be. This would be easier if Tony didn't feel the compulsion to hide the fact that he's sick. Misunderstandings all around, especially given Stark's reputation.

Summary
‘You will find someone, Tony.’ Maria Stark whispered, playing with Tony’s hair as he leaned into her. ‘Don’t let anyone, especially your father, convince you otherwise. You will find someone who will choose you above all else, no matter the consequences.’
‘How do you know?’ Tony mumbled, looking down at his bruised arms and bloody knuckles.
Maria had just smiled and kissed the top of his head. ‘I just do.’
He had thought it would be enough with Pepper. He had been blindsided when Steve strutted into the room and insulted him, then had the audacity to become his husband over the years following. He had thought that person Maria had spoken of was Steve, when his eyes lit up when he saw Tony, when he smiled whenever he was mentioned, when he gave him his dog tags, when he proposed, when he had hesitantly laid out the adoption papers for one little boy in Queens. He had thought wrong.
Title from Richard Siken's poem "Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out"

Summary
“My name’s Tony Stark.” the kid said, peering down from the top bunk, a mess of hair falling into his eyes. “But you can call me Tony.”
“I know who you are.” James set about remaking the bottom bunk so he could sleep there. “I’m James Rhodes.”
“Can I call you Rhodey?”
“No.”
“Well…..” Tony lit up with a smile that could only be called devilish. “Can I call you Honeybear?”
“Under no circumstances are you to call me Honeybear.”
“Spoilsport.”
“Brat.”**************
Tony has been a disaster since the day James met him, but that's alright because he's James's disaster and they wouldn't want it any other way. From drunk kisses in the dorms at MIT to more than kisses in Vegas and nearly losing each other every time the damn world tries to end, Tony has always been Rhodey's and that's just the way it is.This is the story behind the story, the parts the movies don't show us, all the times a steadfast soldier James Rhodes and a beautiful genius named Tony Stark faced everything life threw at them, and every time they used all too rare quiet moments to fall in love.

Summary
The Lanes never sleep.
The sunken streets may lie beneath Piltover’s heavy shadow, and it's faults are numerous and deadly, but no one can claim that the Undercity is boring.
There is always colour to be found, if you know where to look.
It’s something you pride yourself on – the ability to see what others can’t. Some mistake it for simple optimism. But you know it’s more than just that. It’s the thing that’s kept you alive this long, in more ways than one. You've always been happy to go wherever life has taken you, and you're a big believer in gut instinct.
But you never expected to end up working as a bartender at The Last Drop – having been scouted by a blue haired girl who wouldn't take no for an answer.
Neither did you expect to find yourself landed with the terrifying task of ensuring Silco's personal drinks cart is kept well stocked.
And you certainly never expected to find yourself inadvertently become the weekly drinking partner of the Eye of Zaun himself.

Summary
Supper secured and stuffed away in his trousers, he looks up to find the silver-haired stranger in the corner, the one person who hadn’t heckled him. The man is objectively gorgeous, with fascinating hair and a body that makes Jaskier’s mouth water a little.
Oh yes, he decides quickly, he will be climbing this stranger like a tree.
He’s a little wrong-footed when he works out that the stranger is a witcher with big scary swords Jaskier’s heard horror stories about, but after a quick moment of thought, he also thinks about how very many things the fae elders have been wrong about all his life and decides to ignore them once again. The witcher–Geralt of supposedly Rivia, even though Jaskier can tell from his accent that that’s a lie–tries to get rid of him, but Jaskier is nothing if he’s not determined, and he’s simply too damn interested to get scared off easily.
The witcher has clearly not realized that Jaskier is something to be hunted, and Jaskier, well, he’s never excelled at silly things like self-preservation.
