Geralt encounters a strange servant in a furrier's shop one day who follows him endlessly, asking to buy the fur coat he received as reward for a completed contract. The coat is such an odd thing. The furrier tore his shop to pieces for the loss of it, and the servant quit a comfortable life in the shop for the pursuit of it. And what's more, the servant continues to find him year after year on every turn of the path, his offer to buy the coat never ceasing.
ALT - Selkie Jaskier AU. Geralt accidentally picks Jaskier's selkie coat out of the shop at random, finding it hidden in a pile of furs, not knowing what it was. The furrier lost his enslaved selkie along with it, and Jaskier pursues Geralt to buy his true freedom, all while keeping his identity as a selkie secret. And whoops, they fall in love!
