<blockquote>Emhyr was looking at him for once, with a strange expression. “I have misjudged you,” he said, sounding irritated actually: how dare Geralt surprise him.

➤ in a number of ways it's a thematic retread of astolat's smallville fic about Lex conquering the galaxy with Clark as his consort, but I'm pretty okay with that, it's a fun set of themes, and astolat's really good at writing that kind of ruthlessly competent person who sweeps people up in his charismatic path. Totally readable while knowing 0 about canon.
