Summary
It goes like this:
A boy is abandoned, swept up, and transformed. A boy grows up learning not to feel. A man spends lifetimes alone, battered by the world and its hatred, until he is hardened beyond repair. Not even the joyous songs of a beautiful lark can repair the decades of cruelty. He learns kindness, perhaps, and may even know love, but he will never be the same as that boy left at the side of the road so long ago.
And yet. What if it went like this?
A boy is abandoned, swept up, and transformed. A young man sets out into the world, still clinging onto the hope of becoming a hero. But he is not alone anymore. There is now someone there, someone to stitch him together when he's injured, someone to dry his tears when they threaten to fall and to tell him it will be okay.What would the boy become?
---
An AU where Geralt meets Jaskier much, much earlier than before. He's only been on the Path for a few months, and Jaskier is a professor who never quite made it as a traveling bard. Good thing he's a teacher, because someone did not raise this poor Witcher correctly. It's time to learn emotional maturity!Series

A Court of Healing and Shifting by Bookish_Gal
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas

Summary
Post ACOFAS; ACOSF Divergence. After the War with the King of Hybern, Tamlin is deteriorating and his court is in shambles. When two children come to him and beg for sanctuary, Tamlin temporarily finds the strength to begin anew. But mental health is complicated, and trauma is a tricky thing to manage. As Tamlin rebuilds his court and finds a family of his own, he uncovers secrets about himself, his heritage, and the origin of his shapeshifting. But there are new dangers, new magics, and new enemies on the horizon. And if Tamlin cannot find the strength to both heal from his trauma and accept himself for what he is, then his court‒and all of Prythian‒will be doomed.
Aka: A healing and redemption arc for Tamlin where he's still held accountable for being a bad person and where I rescue all the good characters from the Inner Circle. Because I can’t hate some characters (Tamlin, Nesta, etc.) when they’re ALL horrible. That’s just hypocritical.

Summary
--
Sarel is not like other children.
First of all, he was adopted. Second, he is blind.
Third, (and while some may argue most importantly, though Sarel disagrees), he is Falmer.
--
"Found" by an Altmer researcher and scholar with the College of Winterhold, Sarel's existence has remained a relative secret, hidden behind the stone walls of the college. All of this changes on his eleventh birthday, when a mysterious stranger appears at the college doors asking after him.

Summary
He was left on her doorstep, orphaned on the night of his birth, and something inside her compelled her to keep him.
There would be gossip; there would be slander; there would be violence and attempts on her life and on his.
But the Lady of the Moon had decided: he was hers.
