Been really into Witcher lately, playing TW3 and reading the books! I love putting Crow and Zenos into AUs I enjoy, so for this one he's a witcher and she's a sorceress.

(Crow) Vorona aep Thordain — Headmistress of Vicovaro's medical academy and famed sorceress, she holds a highly respected seat among the advisors of Nilfgaardian emperor Jan Calveit.

She is a woman of fearsome prowess of both magical and political persuasion, but she is not so stern and stiff as her contemporaries believe. She enjoys many lovers over the course of her current tenure, granting her favor upon eye-pleasing graduates of the academy and professors, a myriad of lords and even the emperor himself. None, however, would remember the time they spent with her, having their memories stripped when she is finished with them. The only exceptions to this stringent habit, apart from emperor Jan Calveit, and a certain Vatt'ghern — 'witcher' in Nilfgaardian.

She holds a great many deal of interest and agents across the continent, even in the far north above the winding channels of the Yaruga river where the barbarous Nordlings live. She's well-versed and a veritable master in the following arts: Herbalism, Alchemy, Curses. Her life's greatest pursuit, however, is the perfection of necromancy. Her most beloved fetish is the polished, rune-carved skull of her once drunken, heavy-handed father, the former Edler of Liddertal, Sierben Thordain.

(Zenos) Zenos of Amell, though mostly known as Vaerminker; meaning mutilator/dismemberer in Nilfgaardian tongue, an itinerant witcher who wanders from village to village in the south within the Nilfgaardian empire in search of monsters to slay and coins to collect. Unlike some of his kind, he minds not whether his blade points at monster or men so long as he is well-compensated for a target slain.

He is feared and reviled by the small folks of the realm, though his handsome and fair visage attracts a lion's share of feminine interest. His salacious conquests includes buxom village maids and highborn courtiers. His lustful inclinations, though rapacious, is still selective, preferring comely, dark-haired women. In spite of his infamy, he experiences no shortage of work owing to his skill and moral flexibility.

My afternoons are lazy and dreary with heat, but you are as cool water by my side.

There are two things he excelled at: amusing her and provoking his father.

Often the case, he does both in a single stroke.

They have a lot of pastimes, fencing included. Any excuse to work up a sweat together really...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

At sunset's glow, she purred like a sun-warmed house cat atop him

(prose aside, I just wanted to shamelessly draw her squishing bewbs)

For them, bath house visits are cheeky business indeed

Summary

"Ran out of her career as a model, then from Hollywood thanks to a lurid scandal, Crow Amant picks up the phone to hear her half-brother voice: their father was dead and she's given the family business despite their tumultuous relationship. What's a girl to do when she finds herself in too deep with a handsome stranger and her family's macabre business? There's more to this trade than meets the eye, especially when she uncovers the old bastard's crippling debt and his dubious dealings.

God, she needs a smoke."
