the first time (?) in a poster they’ve been fully facing one another, but also the furthest they’ve been apart😭

Imagine Immortal! Jaskier who gets a factory reset every time he dies. Scars go away, any previous injuries or non-fatal aches disappear, etc. The only catch is it takes anywhere from a few minutes to several hours/days to come back depending on the extent of his injuries.

But Jaskier isn’t stupid, and so he carries around a very potent poison that can kill him almost instantly, and from experience has been proven to only leave him dead for around fifteen minutes. Because he does travel alone sometimes, and it’s better to kill himself in the middle of nowhere than to risk getting robbed when he’s sick, injured, etc.

Even though he can do it though, he’s not a big fan of it, and prefers to just ride out the pain/sickness with Geralt when possible. Because, okay, dying HURTS, and he’s never been able to find a poison that works rapidly and doesn’t make it feel like he’s being boiled alive, his heart thudding painfully in his chest until it just…gives out.

(Plus, he secretly likes the way Geralt will give him his cloak, and make him tea, and gently check his wounds. The witcher doesn’t exactly fuss, but he does let him ride Roach sometimes when he’s particularly unwell, with the witcher sitting behind him in the saddle and making sure he doesn’t fall off as he dozes.)

But then the mountain happens. And Jaskier is traveling with Geralt again, sure, but now he knows how he actually feels about traveling with a “human”. So even though Jaskier would prefer to just power through the nasty head cold he feels coming on, he digs in the bottom of his pack for the poison as soon as Geralt leaves to hunt. Because he can’t give the witcher yet another reason to leave him, not when the fix is so easy, not when Geralt clearly already wants as little contact, physical or otherwise, with him as possible.

He downs the vial, the familiar spasms taking over him almost instantly, and is about to let his eyes fall shut when he hears Geralt returning far too soon. A Geralt who does not know about Jaskier’s regeneration ability.

But the bard’s mouth has already stopped working, he can’t even lift his head, and the last thing he thinks before he’s gone is that Geralt looked a lot more…concerned? Than he thought he would.

And when Jaskier wakes up in Geralt’s arms, and explains everything, the bard is more than a little confused at the witcher’s insistence that he never kill himself again, at least when traveling with Geralt. The bard tries to argue that sometimes it’s necessary, but agrees to not do it unless it’s an emergency at the wild look in the man’s golden eyes.

Jaskier is still a little worried when he starts to feel another cold coming on two months later, but instead of Geralt leaving him like he feared, the man becomes a verifiable mother hen, refusing to leave the bard alone for even a second. And if Jaskier notes the way all weapons are kept far out of his reach, and the dagger he usually hides in his boot goes missing, well.

A little bit of extra comfort and coddling won’t kill him.

obsessed with the idea of potter!reader who after james' and lily's death and the incarceration of sirius, goes absolutely, murderously, insane. like a full flip to the dark-side, hunt down and slaughter everyone who had anything to do with it, which then leads to killing any death eater she comes across, spiral into madness.

a ravenclaw who was once lovely, kind, and brilliant and had vast knowledge of dark arts from the books she had read over the years, never shying away from them because knowledge is knowledge and reading about dark magic didn't mean using it, then turning against those ideals in a manic rage and becoming a threat that no one was ever prepared for.

and obviously at first she's a little shaky with it, a little amateur, but over the years, she learns. She commits herself to it like she did everything else until there is mastery in the way she wields dark magic, mastery in the way she hunts down those she hates, because when she comes for them, there is never a chance of them making it out alive.

she will not let a single one of them slip through the cracks the way peter once did, she will descend upon them like a plague until she has covered them all, until there lives are nothing but fear and agony and death.

and despite it being death eaters who's bodies are being found more and more often, the ministry and the order cannot just allow someone to run around britain, murdering as they please and with the use of such horrific magic, but she is difficult to track and impossible to pin down. She's always had a knack for disappearing and never being discovered unless she wanted you to find her.

but there are exceptions to that skill of hers, three if you want to be specific.

one of them lies cold in a grave in the town she once called home, his death the very reason for the monster she has become.

the second has never been seen since everything fell apart, and she knows he's not dead, he was her best friend once upon a time, she would have felt it the moment it had happened, but now all she feels is the dull sting of his abandonment.

the third sits rotting in a damp riddled cell, chains chafing at his wrists and horror wrenching at his heart as an auror tells him what has become of the girl he once loved before there is the rattle of keys in the lock and his door swings open.

because who could be better at luring her to them than the man who everyone is convinced had a hand in the murder her brother, who would be better at tracking her if she didn't come than the man who had once been inseparable from her side as if there were a string upon both their souls that he was incapable of not following.

who better to find a potter, than sirius black.
