Summary
"Do you know where we are?" he asked, quietly. Jaskier couldn't bring himself to speak, and Geralt seemed to interpret it as a no. "This place is called Ban Ard A'baeth. That might ring a bell?"
Of course it did.
Jaskier looked at the valley, extending in front of him, endless, infinite. At the mountains, surrounding them, almost a circle around them. At the balustrade around them, shielding them from a fall to their deaths from the peak they had walked up to during those hours of darkness. When he looked up, Jaskier's gaze was met with the roof of a wooden gazebo. It looked old, but clean. Jaskier was sure someone nearby cleaned it often, and probably repaired it as well.
When he turned around, he saw Geralt, already half turned on his bench, observing him. The sunrise was nearly upon them, and the timid first rays of light of the day reflected in his amber eyes, in his slitted pupils.
"Geralt," he whispered again. "This is Ban Ard A'baeth?"

Summary
Perhaps, years before, decades before, he’d find legends and cultures like this fascinating. Now, he laughs; because it’s ridiculous. Because he’s tired and this truly is just a formality before the Separatists arrive and he loses men to a shitty mission on a shitty planet that probably never sees the light of day beyond the miserable gloom of its darkened, raining, windy sky.
What is a fish? Us. Them. G-d.

Alex Reyes was once the pride of his family—a straight-A student with a bright future.

In a world where friends can turn into enemies, shadows conceal lurking horrors, and every choice could mean life or death, Alex must confront not only the creatures hunting them but also the darkness within himself. But can a former nobody rise to become the leader they all need, or will the monsters claim him too?

Summary
Ricky followed the new boy all the way to the library, past the shelves and study tables upstairs, downstairs toward the study rooms and computer labs. Ricky was getting too close and he knew it. Eventually there would be nowhere else to go and he would be forced to say something.
The boy turned a corner.
Ricky turned the same corner twenty seconds later.
He was met with an empty hallway, a dead end.
The witch’s grandson was nowhere to be seen.
or: Ricky, Gyuvin, and the inevitable.

Summary
"Are you, like, a ghost hunter or something?" Yuuji asks as he pockets the phone, assured now that Iguchi won't have to go back to his parents with his metaphorical tail between his legs.
"What?" the boy asks, astonished and shooting him an ugly look. Yuuji shrugs and makes a vague motion in front of himself, like that's a defence he can use.
"You came here all alone, you're taking phots of things and it's the middle of the night!"
"You're doing those things too?"Yuuji goes into a haunted house with his friends, gets scared by a rat, meets a weird boy with gravity-defying hair, and somehow changes his life in the course of an hour. He wished he never asked to be a ghost hunter too.
