Curse Fic Recs

I absolutely love Witcher fics where a character gets cursed so I thought I'd share some of my favorites! All of them are Geraskier except for a few Lambden ones at the end.

If anyone has other fics to reccommend, please feel free to give them a shoutout – I’d love to read them!

Cursed Jaskier

A Friend in the Wild by @samstree (Rated T, 1k)

In which Geralt acquires a tiny mouse friend who wouldn't stop following him.

If There's Any Sleep At Night by @smolalienbee (Rated T, 22k)

A mare, also known as a mara or a zmora - a malicious entity, a bringer of nightmares and a demon of the night. An easy enough contract to fulfill, if only frustrating, or at least that’s what Geralt believes when he first sets out to hunt down one such mare. What he doesn’t expect is to be wrapped up in a tale of a wronged soul, of love and of joy.

My Name is Hidden On Your Tongue by @anarchycox (Rated T, 10k)

Jaskier is cursed. Well his whole family line is. Every male born child cannot be named. They can be given a name, but it will never be a true one and people will always have an allergic reaction to saying this false name. Only a soulmate speaking your true name aloud will break the curse. The family though has never cared, they've only cared about the family fortune and marrying well. But Jaskier cares. He is determined to travel the world, find his soulmate and learn what his name is. And the best way to travel the world seems to be with a rather taciturn witcher named Geralt of Rivia. If he started to hope that Geralt would be the one to say his true name, well that was one thing that Jaskier would not say aloud.

The Cursed Jewels of Lettenhove by GoldenDaydreams (Rated T, 8k)

Geralt has no intention of getting involved with breaking a curse and naturally ends up very involved.

Silver and Copper by @heronfem (Rated M, 56k)

Jaskier is kept from becoming a bard. Geralt finds him anyway.

Priceless by @handwrittenhello (Rated M, 38k)

Jaskier was cursed as a child; when spilled, his blood turns to rubies and his tears turn to diamonds. When his secret is discovered, Geralt must save him from those who would take advantage of it. Together they work to break the curse, but the cost might end up being too steep.

Set My Wings on Fire by bilboakenshield27 (Not Rated, 4k)

Jaskier gets turned into a bird and has to warn Geralt about an ambush.

Sleep of the Dead by @dancedelion (Rated T, 20k)

Jaskier thinks he hit rock bottom when Geralt flushed twenty years of friendship down the drain, but then he finds himself suddenly translucent and rudely walked through by a traveller. Apparently he's dead - that's certainly a new low. He needs to find out what happened, and who better to help him than the man who's made more than clear he wants nothing to do with him.

The Sandpiper by @welcomemysentence (Rated T, 2k)

When Jaskier gets cursed into an actual sandpiper, the little coast bird, the only way to save him is with true love's kiss.

What's Engraved Upon My Heart (In Letters Deeply Worn) by @made-of-constellations-blog (Rated T, 6k)

Jaskier gets cursed to be a lark with a strange failsafe to turn him back. Geralt misses this, and realizes too late that he's not ready to lose his bard.

to be held by @wanderlust-t (Rated T, 1k)

The knife dropped on the ground. And Geralt’s thoughts reached to a halt for a moment. He had no rope. Not anything to keep Jaskier still. To hold him back. Oh. That was going to be a really long night.

Catskier by @al-in-my-head (Rated T, 17k)

Due to an unfortunate encounter with a mage while him and Geralt are apart, Jaskier is transformed into a cat. It just so happens that Geralt likes talking to animals.

Cursed Geralt

A Marvelous Night for a Moondance by @flowercrown-bard (Rated T, 1k)

There was a warning every child living near Oakwood Valley knew. "Don't go out at night, or you'll disturb the Moonlit Dancer." No one truly knew who the Moonlit Dancer was, but everyone agreed on two things: The Dancer must be dangerous. And he must be oh so lonely.

animal instinct by leodesic (Rated M, 13k)

Despite Jaskier's hard work, there are still plenty of people who hate witchers. They think they're monstrous, inhuman, only held back from violence by a thin veneer of control. One mage has a plan to spread his views by capturing a witcher and bewitching them to remove their control. When the Butcher of Blaviken walks into his hideout, he's convinced he's found the perfect candidate - and a convenient way to get rid of the pesky bard that's been singing his praises. Jaskier is forced to agree witchers are not human, but that doesn't mean they're dangerous. In fact, he's astounded by how many of Geralt's uncontrolled impulses involve touching.

Connecting dots by @dapandapod (Rated G, 3k)

Geralt is hit with a lying curse, and it takes Jaskier an embarrassing amount of time to figure it out. Now, it Jaskier only would stick to the safe questions....

Don't Go Stealing My Heart by @thesilverqueenlady (Rated T, 17k)

When Jaskier is stiffed by a lord on payment, he decides to help himself to proper compensation. Alongside the correct amount of gold and silver, he also steals a beautiful silver wolf's head medallion. It's safe to say that he is not expecting the medallion to be haunted by the spirit of a very grumpy, very handsome, very cursed Witcher.

Cuddles, Curses, and Confusion by me :D (Rated T, 3k)

Geralt becomes oddly affectionate after being cursed by a mage. Jaskier would just like his life to be less complicated, please.

Spectre's Soul also by me :D (Rated T, 31k)

When Jaskier tried to go on a date with a man named Rience, he did not expect to nearly be killed. He certainly did not expect to discover a beautiful valley while running away from him. He very definitely did not expect to find out that the valley was haunted — by an absurdly beautiful man. Or: In which Geralt is cursed to be a ghost and Jaskier is the first person in decades to talk to him.

Cursed Aiden

Headache at First Sight by YorkAndDelta (Rated T, 12k)

A story of how Lambert ends up looking after a cursed cat, helping a Witcher from a rival school retrieve his gear from angry mages, and maybe finds love along the way.

Cursed Lambert

the mortifying ordeal of being known as a cat by @skaldingrayne Rated M, 10k

Lambert is cursed to be a cat. Fortunately, he finds Jaskier.

2023 BEST READS

A few days late but hey, better late than never! This is a non-comprehensive list of my favorite fics that I’ve read in 2023! Criteria for a fic to be included on this list are:

I read the fic in 2023

I reread the fic at least once

I can rate 5/5 stars without hesitation

The fics are organized by fandom but otherwise are in no particular order.

BATMAN

New Wave by yellow_caballero Batman (gen), 103k, Reverse Robins, Stephanie Brown is Robin Some lunatic in a bat costume is running around Gotham clowning on fools, but local delinquent Stephanie Brown has way bigger problems. When her father and friends start joining mob wars Steph knows she has to do something about it before Gotham collapses. If that means joining up with rich dudes playing dress up, pasty nerds with hacking and photography habits, and throwing on a costume herself, then that’s just what she’ll have to do. Even if Batman works alone. She’s convincing. In which Stephanie Brown rocks the radical nineties and becomes the first Robin, ruining Batman’s life and giving Tim Drake a hobby.

birdsong by ScarlettSwordMoon Nightwing (gen), 22k, Dick Grayson-Centric After getting a face full of Scarecrow’s newest toxin, Dick isn’t haunted by his typical nightmares. No. This one has little green pixie boots. AKA Batman: Ego but make it Robin. Nightwing 60th Anniversary Bingo: Drugs & Toxins

Keep Your Head, Your Backbone, and Your Heart by MrMich Batman (gen) 54k, Dimension Travel, Duke Thomas-centric The last thing that Duke expected on what was supposed to be just a regular patrol was being suddenly thrown five years into the past, coming face to face with a darker, more violent Batman than the one he knew, a broken family, and a Tim who was a foot shorter than Duke, and not even Robin yet.

Loading and Aspect Ratio by JUBE514 Batman (Superbat), 45k, Wings AU A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines by SilverSkiesAtMidnight Batman (gen), 13k, Starvation He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin. He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid. She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.” And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

You, Me, and the Humanity in Between by JUBE514 Batman (gen), 65k, Non-Human Robins Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

Little Red by destiny919 Batman: Under the Red Hood (gen), 39k, Series, Jason is Tim’s Parent AU where Tim is younger and has been illegally adopted by his hero, the Red Hood.

A Different Game by Hinn_Raven Batman (multi), 62k, Red Hood!Stephanie Brown, Role Reversal Stephanie Brown died with a mouth full of blood and her eyes wide open, staring at the locked door, hoping still for a miracle, for a rescue. She died in a hidden place, still hanging from the ceiling by her wrists, bleeding out from a wound in her stomach, and no one was with her when her heart gave its last beat. AU where Stephanie Brown dies as Robin and becomes the Red Hood.

bad news, this place is magic as fuck by mikkal Batman (gen), 28k, All-Caste Jason Todd, Magic Jason Jason's on the trail of a killer who's targeting kids in Crime Alley for an unknown magical ritual. Between that and his family who insists on butting in, he's got his work cut out for him. But, as they say, nothing is as it seems.

Wings over Gotham by icarus_chained Batman, DC (gen), 190k, No Man’s Land, Independent Gotham An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.

A Meditation on Railroading by eggmacguffin Batman (gen), 24k, Hurt/Comfort When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own. Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

THE BATMAN (2022)

I’m a Good Pretender by shipNslash The Batman (2022) (gen), 40k, Dick Grayson-Centric Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete. Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.

In This or Any Other Universe by wildsofmarch The Batman (2022) (gen), 33k, Dimension Travel There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him. Who was this Nightwing, anyway? OR: Dick Grayson (DCU) accidentally lands himself in Battinson’s Gotham.

DC LEGENDS OF TOMORRW

Countless Roads by nirejseki Arrowverse, DC Legends of Tomorrow (Mick Rory/Leonard Snart), 231k, Medium Leonard Snart, AU-Ghosts Due to a family curse (which some call a gift), Leonard Snart has more life than he knows what to do with – and that gives him the ability to see, speak to, and even share with the various ghosts that are always surrounding him. Sure, said curse also means he’s going to die sooner rather than later, just like his mother, but in the meantime Len has no intention of letting superheroes, time travelers, a surprisingly charming pyromaniac, and a lot of ghosts get in the way of him having a nice, successful career as a professional thief.

Straight On Till Morning by nirejeski Arrowverse, DC Legends of Tomorrow (Sara Lance/Mick Rory/Leonard Snart), 17k, Time Pirates Left alone in the Refuge, Mick and Sara decide they're going to be proactive about their fate. They end up becoming time pirates. Because of course they do.

THE WITCHER

A Beginners Guide to Exploiting the Kaedweni Tax Code For Fun and Profit by Heronfem The Witcher (Aiden/Lambert), 190k, WIP, AU-Modern Setting, AU-College/University Aiden Kett and Lambert Wilkson accidentally get married, and this is honestly probably the least of their problems.

By the Broken Lock That Freed Me by inexplicifics The Witcher, (muti), 46k, AU-Daemons, Accidental Warlord Series Aiden takes a contract on the Duke of Velen. He's not expecting the most interesting part of the whole affair to be meeting the duke's betrothed. His daemon thinks they should keep her. Aiden's not sure how that will work, given that he's already got a Wolf and doesn't know how Lambert and his daemon might feel about adding someone else to their little pack, but it's awfully tempting. And Cats aren't very good at resisting temptation.

Intent by tnico The Witcher (Aiden/Lambert), 18k, Non-Traditional A/B/O, 5+1 "You think I don't know what you're after?" Lambert accuses. "Well, I'd certainly hope you do, by this point in the evening," Aiden (so he says) agrees in a convincingly genial tone. It'd probably be enough to fool someone else on the matter of genuine interest.

SPIDERVERSE

gonna crack a rib (when i get home) by eneliii Spiderverse (gen), 40k, Cannon Divergence Miles Morales, recently landed in Earth 42, has had enough of everyone’s shit and he’s going to save his dad or so help him he’ll lose his mind. Miles Morales 42, just wants to know what the /hell/ is up with his doppelgänger.

MCU

The Hero's Journey; or: What Jasper Sitwell Did Last Summer by pagination MCU, Welcome to Night Vale (multi), 23k, Crossover The thing is, when an agent reaches clearance level five, it’s because they’re valuable, capable of something an exponentially diminishing few can offer in the ranks of SHIELD. Clint Barton, his personal issues notwithstanding, is unstoppable behind a scope. Jim Woo is an analyst and extractor par excellence. Melinda May has infiltrated half the presidential offices of Asia, and Phil Coulson has an instinct for the unusual that could be the basis of an entire TV show. Jasper’s less certain what he brings to the party.

If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked a Cake by OddityBoddity MCU, Hawkeye (gen), 27k, Baking They’re the broken ones. That’s what Clint figures the rest think about him and Barnes. Clint with his eardrums trashed, Barnes with a regiment’s worth of trauma and a psychotic cybernetic arm, put in the same room and told to make nice while the others get to go on missions and do important things and save the world. Well they're not broken. So of course they got bored and tired of being sidelined and decided to entertain themselves. And of course they ended up wanted, running through the streets of Paris with bananas down their pants and gendarmes in pursuit. Of course they did.

Geraskier Fic Rec May 2023

Hello lovely people! I've decided to start my fic rec lists with some Witcher fic focusing on Geralt/Jaskier (Geraskier). I started reading Geraskier fic about three years ago and I'll probably never get tired of this pairing. The below list are some of my favorite fics I've stumbled upon throughout my time in the fandom - I hope you enjoy them! If there are any you think should be added (or you just have good recs) please feel free to send them my way, I'm always looking for new fic! And if you decide to read any of these, please heed the tags on ao3; some deal with topics not everyone wants to read about.

(The first two are probably my favorite Geraskier fics ever)

(if you like any of these let me know let's geek out together)

A Blessing, A Curse by aileenrose, E, 12.6k

"For a while, Jaskier doesn’t know he’s cursed. It feels like free will, going back down that mountain, just as dangerous down as the way up, and alone this time, too. The descent is fast, maybe even reckless, but Jaskier’s feeling numb and out-of-sorts anyways, Geralt’s words simmering in his mind, and at the time it doesn’t feel like he’s being pulled on by anything but his own desire to get away."

Based off a post that Geralt's words on the mountain are granted by the djinn.

one foot in sea by theundiagnosable, E, 23.5k

“Well, that’s a separate issue entirely, isn’t it?” Jaskier says, clearly enthused by being taken on. “I’m opposed to marriage on principle. Would you like to know why?”

“No,” says Geralt.

“I’ll tell you why,” says Jaskier.

to render it transparent by theundiagnosable, E, 24k

Geralt wakes up warm, peaceful, and utterly content, which is how he knows that something is severely wrong.

another dawn by alittlebitmaybe, T, 8k

“Well, we’ll have all the time in the world to make it official, right after we check out this—what was it?”

Geralt side eyes him. “Abandoned cottage. Disappearances. Strange sightings.”

“Right, yes, after we deal with this mysterious hut deep in the woods. No problem. Days and weeks and years aplenty after that."

all that was good, all that was fair (all that was me is gone) by xdandelionxbloomx, M, 7.5k

Somewhere, deep in a forest, a man drags himself from his grave by sheer power of will. He lies gasping on the forest floor and does not know who or what he is. The world is wide and wonderful, though, and there is so much to see.

Or, Jaskier is so stubborn that he literally comes back from the dead.

Shadowplay by sospes, M, 26.5k

Geralt returns to Oxenfurt on a bright May morning to find flowers laid outside Jaskier's rooms and a fresh grave in the cemetery.

Except, as Geralt is about to learn, in Jaskier's world things are never quite what they seem.

Bad Moon Rising by sharkhette, Not Rated, 9k

Jaskier had never expected it would be Geralt trying to kill him. Sure, the witcher liked to threaten as much, but they both knew he'd never make good on it. They were friends, whatever Geralt said.

But friends didn't try to rip each other's throats out with their teeth.

Or, Geralt returns from a hunt acting strange.

Valley of Plenty by aileenrose, E, 40.6k

Geralt's brother has died, and now he is raising a child on his own. The last thing he needs is an annoying sous-chef who won't leave him alone.

Or, a variously loose and faithful adaptation of the classic rom-com No Reservations.

The god of scraped knees. by spqr, M, 8k

Jaskier’s been pretending to be human for so long now that he hardly remembers what it feels like to be a sorcerer. He doesn’t want to remember what it feels like to be a sorcerer. But people still murmur his name with reverence in certain dim halls; Dandelion, Dandelion, destroyer of worlds.

Lessons in Losing by didoandis, E, 11k

“We met five years ago or thereabouts,” Geralt says through gritted teeth. “You came up to me in a tavern near Posada, decided I would be good song material, and we’ve travelled together, off and on, ever since.”

“Huh,” Jaskier says.

“You remember?” Geralt tries to keep the note of hope out of his voice, and doubts he’s been successful.

“Not in the slightest,” Jaskier says cheerfully. “But I must admit it sounds like something I’d do.”

When Jaskier forgets their life together, Geralt learns an unexpected lesson.

📖 Fic rec time! When you get this, reply with three fics that you've read and loved to pieces, then pass on to at least five other people who read fics. Let’s appreciate fic writers and their amazing stories 💖

OOO!! Thank you for sending this!

I've been reading fic for like...more years than I'm ready to admit to so I'll rec some of my very favorite witcher fics + my favorite themes to narrow it down. These are all geraskier oops

Angst/hurt no comfort

goes without saying by Verbyna This is a brief two-part series that I must think about like twice a day at least. The author does something so magical and makes these characters so human, it completely takes my breath away. Thinking about this fic makes my stomach ache. Scrolling past the title in my bookmarks can make my heart drop into my gut. I have to really think about what kind of day I want to have if I'm going to read it, and I mean that in the best way. It's so visceral and wrenching and completely beautiful. If I had to pick a favorite witcher AU, I couldn't, but this one is in the seat of honor.

Hurt/comfort

Lessons in Mortality (orphaned)

This is one of the first fics I read in the fandom, and I hope the author is out there somewhere with warm socks and good pens. The character development in this is unmatched - the original character and her beautiful story in this fic are so compelling and enchanting, and yet she plays a perfect accompaniment to Geralt and Jask. This fic is so sweet, so in character, so carefully and purposefully written. I wish I had a chance to talk to the author before it was orphaned but they obviously put so much care into this piece that you really feel connected to the storyteller.

Slow Burn

and yet so far from death by @yoursummerfrost

I am sweating trying to pick a single summerfrost fic to recommend but this one sticks in my mind as one of those extremely special stories that I wouldn't be able to explain if I tried. Whatever is going on in author's head should be bottled and sold or maybe kept under lock and key in some kind of secret lab where only the military and like...very sexy bank robbers can find it. It's sticky-sweet and sad and has, hands down, the best ending (except for maybe the end of my other favorite summerfrost fic, out in the pouring rain (down on your knees) or possibly the end of my other other favorite summerfrost fic, don't tell me we've grown (for having loved) ).

Porn with plot

First Annual Belleteyn Fuckfest by @sheepishwolfy

Half what it says on the tin, half oh fuck oh fuck they have feelings there are so many feelings who let the feelings into this porn someone call the guards. The worldbuilding in this fic (and all of the author's works) is unparalleled. You are sweating in the spring heat, you're smelling the ale, you're eating sweets and hearing music and strolling between vendor stalls with a flower crown on your head and you are (devastatingly) not getting an exceedingly skilled blowjob from Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount de Lettenhove. This fic is definitely the closest you could get, though.

There are so so many more amazing fics that I have read and loved and cried over, I could go on forever. This fandom absolutely drew in some of the most talented creators I've ever had the pleasure to come across.

If you're one of the authors first of all wow hi I'm twirling my hair kicking my feet second, pleeeease let me know if you would like a tag or a rec removed and I will nix it!

Rec List 9: The Witcher

- all that I've been taught and every word I've got by sugarybowl

“You know,” the old man says with a knowing smile, “if ever there was a place where you could recite and sing of Kaer Morhen, it is within her walls. Perhaps your stay will bring some lightness to all of us and not only the child and Geralt.”

Jaskier hides the stab of pain at the implication that Geralt might be glad to see him, instead he offers another simple bow and thanks Vesemir for his hospitality before fleeing into the room.

“Oh, you fool,” he whispers to himself as he falls into a nearby seat, “you bloody heartsick fool, you should have run. Why don’t you ever run?”

- - -

After a year of training Ciri in monster-hunting and Chaos, Vesemir and Yennefer agree that her education needs a boost of court politics and wordplay, which means bringing an angry heartbroken master of the seven liberal arts to Kaer Morhen.

9/9 Completed, 12,779 words

- animal instinct by leodesic

Jaskier is forced to agree witchers are not human, but that doesn't mean they're dangerous. In fact, he's astounded by how many of Geralt's uncontrolled impulses involve touching.

Oneshot, 13,091 words

- from what i've tasted of desire by asweetepilogue

Jaskier's coat as a hole in it.

Oneshot, 4,727 words

- Skin Deep by sospes

“What’s that?” Geralt asks.

Jaskier blinks. “It’s a tattoo,” he says. “Have you never seen a tattoo before, Geralt?”

Geralt fights the urge to roll his eyes. “I know it’s a tattoo,” he says. “What’s it a tattoo of?”

Oneshot, 8,135 words

- I'd Be the Choiceless Hope by lesdemonium (winnerstick)

“Such a nice, beautiful sound,” the fae crooned. “If only he were this way always.”

Julian’s mother stood up. She claimed she was prepared to stop the fae, to protect her baby, but in Julian’s darkest moments he doubted this part of the story. His mother loved him, of that he had no doubt, but she had been young and weary, and even years later, she couldn’t quite get the twinge of exhaustion out of her eyes when she recalled Julian’s infancy. Even if she had been keen on protecting him, the fae was too close, too fast, too set on his plan.

“A gift, for the new mother,” the fae continued. He leaned a hand in to stroke Julian’s cheek. “I give you the gift of obedience.”

As a baby, Jaskier was visited by a fae, who gifted Jaskier's mother with Jaskier's obedience. As Jaskier grew older, the "gift" became more of a curse.

16/16 Completed, 45,188 words

- Silver and Copper by Heronfem

Geralt is just supposed to pass through the quiet Lettenhove area. He's not anticipating being begged by its people to help save their viscount from a curse that keeps him from daylight. Lord Jaskier, they call him, and he's likely dying.

As Geralt struggles to untangle the ugly web of history that has lead to the increasingly complicated curse, he finds himself spending more and more time with the strange young viscount and wondering just what he might have been before the curse, and who he might be after. But things are not always as they seem, and as the curse tightens its grip on Jaskier, Geralt is forced to face the fear of failing yet another person whose choices were stolen from them.

Or-

Jaskier is kept from becoming a bard. Geralt finds him anyway.

5/5 Completed, 56,263 words

- The Fairest of Them All by TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsG

On a quiet winter's night, a king and a queen had a child.

Oneshot, 46,256 words

- the roads we walk are winding by shellybelle

Jaskier doesn’t actually know how much time has passed since the black-cloaked Nilfgaardians grab him after a performance in a shitty tavern in the backcountry of northern Kaedwen. He’d assumed--foolishly, apparently--that he was far enough north that any Nilfgaardian soldiers would be few and far between, likely just scouts or even deserters. It would have been hard to actually get any further north--the little backwater town where he’d been singing was just a day from the mountains. Anymore travel, and he’d find himself skirting the Trail up to Kaer Morhen, the Warlord’s Keep, and, well. He’s brazen, but not that brazen.

(or: a wandering bard bites off more than he can chew with the political ballads, accidentally makes friends with a princess in exile, and finds the Warlord of the North in his debt.)

7/7 Completed, 67,217 words

- The Flower of the Court by aileenrose

The dream is not, Jaskier thinks, good foreshadowing for his plans tonight. The dream, after all, is about a man who King Emhyr decided had betrayed him, and subsequently had him killed. Killed in front of the court, no less, as a reminder of how quickly their fates could change according to the King’s whims. Tonight, after his performance, Jaskier plans to do just the same. Betray his king.

Jaskier, the so-called "Flower of King Emhyr's court," does not think himself a brave person. Still, he attempts to escape the King's volatile, violent court, and in doing so, stumbles into the Warlord's lands. There, he tries to determine if he is captive, pawn, or something else entirely.

6/? Ongoing, 44,605 words

- To know you in all the ways that count by dat_carovieh

This year, Geralt doesn’t want to spend winter apart from Jaskier so he invites him to Kaer Morhen. Until he got a letter from Eskel, he did not know his whole family thought him and Jaskier are together. He can’t bring it over himself to disappoint them. They are so happy he finally found someone. So, Jaskier suggest they will pretend to be in a relationship, because there is no ways for that to go wrong.

I will add more in a near future

These are listed by size - wordcount

Don't Die on Me - by Cmakesp - Rating: Explicit - Words: 1236

Summary: After a near-death experience, Geralt and Jaskier comes to blows, and later...to an understanding. [Subtitled/Captioned Video Inside]

Your role - by Ineedtherapy (gethelp) - Rating: General - Words: 1643

Summary: A month had passed since Geralt had finally found the courage to kiss his bard. He’s bad with emotions, but the Witcher is very happy to have his lover by his side: But is that also how Jaskier sees it?

“You’ve also told me several times how much you wish for me to leave you alone and be out of your life. You’ve not asked that of me a single time since I started spreading my legs for you.” Jaskier finally broke eye contact and shrugged. “It’s not the way I’ve hoped for, but seems like you found some use for me.”

Penance - by tupti - Rating: General - Words: 2342

Summary: Because Jaskier deserves a proper apology for the mountain and proper treatment for his burned hand and also a proper hug.

It's Not Fair How Much I Love You - by Fireshadowktreva - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 2780

Summary: I started with let's send Jaskier back up that mountain to yell at Geralt like he deserves and it just kind-of went from there. Jaskier is angry, Geralt is sorry (but won't fucking say it), the dwarves are good friends. Summaries are hard.

The Tentakel - by Cmakesp - Rating Explicit - Words: 2899

Summary: A monster gets too handsy ( or more like tentacley) with Jaskier...much to Geralt's annoyance.

i'll list off all the ways i love you (but i won't say a word) - by haleofStilesheart - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 3067

Summary: Geralt's searching through Jaskier's bag for a recent contract when he finds a list instead. A list full of warnings Jaskier's written himself and they're all about Geralt.

Here We Are - by Cmakesp - Rating: Explicit - Words: 3320

Summary: Jaskier's flirtatious attitude pushes Geralt to admit his attraction to Jaskier. [Fully voiced acted Podfic]

What you deserve - by Wians - Rating: Explicit - Words: 3506

Summary: When he and Jaskier become lovers, Geralt doesn't expect it to last. Or, Geralt's insecurities and self-loathing meet Jaskier's flightiness in romantic relationships.

Get Used to It - by Melimelo - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 3705

Summary: Jaskier was used to be asked to leave, or shown to the door without sparing his feelings. So it didn't surprise him when Geralt finally snapped and pushed him away, at the top of a mountain. Didn't surprise him in the least. To the witcher's credit, he'd stayed the longest.

take my heart and make it strong - by deadpooled - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 4185

Summary: Jaskier actually understands maybe a quarter of whatever the hell just happened, and that’s being generous as is. Call it shock considering, as used to near death as he is from all those years chasing after a Witcher, having the Reaper herself flaunt in front of his face on several occasions in just a few minutes is a bit more draining. And there is the unspoken topic of what to do with him now that he doesn’t have a use.

Music is no solution - by TheCrownprincessBride - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 4318

Summary: “The same people who just insulted you, sang ‘Toss a Coing’ with me in chorus just a few moments before that. Do you understand? I’m casting pearls before drunks! The stories I’m singing about, the messages I want to convey, they…” he gestures at his head, “they don’t stick. Lost in ale and stupidity.” He lets himself fall backwards, and Geralt winces when his head thumps against the wooden floor. “I thought I had the solution. I believed in the power of words, the power of music. But it’s a lie.”

*Jaskier has self-doubts, and Geralt is there for him.

he loves me, he loves me not - by jaskiers - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 4898

Summary: “Your boyfriend has gotten really good with his weapon.”

Geralt hums in agreement. “Hm. He’s a very fast lear– wait, what?”

“What?” Vesemir repeats.

“That thing you just said… about Jaskier being my boyfriend.”

“Yes?”

“Jaskier’s not my boyfriend.”

There’s a pregnant pause.Vesemir blinks. “Oh.”

(or the one where everyone realizes Jaskier has feelings for Geralt... except for Geralt, because of course he’d be the last to catch on.)

(Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself) Will it ever get better than tonight? - by xianvar - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 6250

Summary: Geralt looks down at Ciri with his face so soft that Jaskier knows his own smile must go dopey, but, well. He can’t really be blamed, can he, with a display of such open affection in front of him? It makes his chest go all weird, so painfully sweet that he just wants to keen. Geralt meets his eyes, still with that same soft expression, and Jaskier — Jaskier has to look away, because otherwise he’ll do something stupid, like walk over to Geralt and kiss him, or confess his undying love, or all sorts of things that could destroy their newfound friendship in a heartbeat.

born to blossom (bloom to perish) - by MissDinahDarling - Rating: Explicit - Words: 6458

Summary: Jaskier thinks he has a pretty simple relationship with sex. Until he begins sleeping with Geralt. Until he begins falling for Geralt. Until. Geralt says the wrong name in bed.

Of Idiots, Icicles, and I Love Yous - by onwardorange - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 6787

Summary: When Geralt shows up at Kaer Morhen one winter with Jaskier in tow, Eskel and Lambert assume they're in a relationship. The only problem with that assumption is that Geralt and Jaskier are not, in fact, in a relationship. Or, the one in which everyone at Kaer Morhen is an idiot.

Purple Honeycombs - by TheBobblehat - Rating: Mature - Words: 7249

Summary: After a particularly disgusting tussle with a water hag, Geralt takes a bath in a nearby stream, leaving Jaskier to wander in his leisure time. He finds a beehive chock full of the most delicious honey he's ever tasted. Soon after, however, he begins to feel funny. And Geralt, naked in the spring, had never looked so positively scrumptious...

I’m Following You - by jeffersonshattricks - Rating: Mature - Words: 7330

Summary: Jaskier has been traveling alone since the mountain. Moving from town to town, never settling, always alone. Refusing to deal with his feelings, and what happened with... the witcher. He's been wallowing in his feelings, drinking, being sad. Until one night in a tavern. He turns around, and Geralt is there, looking at him. Jaskier wants nothing to do with him. But Geralt won't. Stop. Fucking. Following him.

well, maybe we got lost in translation - by rcfthns - Rating: Not Rated - Words: 7900

Summary: They sleep with each other a lot more times after that. It always ends the same way. Jaskier has yet to stay with him in bed; as soon as they finish, he’s gone, taking care of himself, leaving the place next to Geralt cold and empty. He’d lie, if he said, that it doesn’t hurt. Geralt thinks, they’re in love. Jaskier thinks, they’re just sleeping together.

Sex Spices (Grounded) - by cortexikid - Rating: Explicit - Words: 9228

Summary: “You’re fine, it’s fine,” Jaskier muttered under his breath as molten heat began to warm him from the inside out, “it’s just some...some silly magic, you’ve had worse. Gone through worse. You can—" Geralt leaned down to speak to the inn-keeper, stooping over at an angle.Jaskier’s eyes locked on the line of his shoulders, trailed down the length of his back to halt over his ever-surprisingly bountiful derriere.“Shit.”

aunt flo(wers) - by PenAndInkPrincess - Rating: Mature - Words: 10513

Summary: Jaskier is twelve the first time he doubles over to retch and brings up only flowers. His nanny comes running when she hears him screaming between mouthfuls of petals, and she clicks her tongue when she finds him doubled over in a pool of flora, eyes wide and streaming with tears. He’s convinced he must have done something very naughty and been punished by the gods for it. He had felt a new way when he saw a new stablehand through a window, and the gods must have thought he was being bad, and now he’s going to die from flowers of all things.“Oh lovey,” his nanny says sympathetically, rubbing his belly where the muscles ache already, “it just means you’ve got a very special heart.” Jaskier gags again, spitting up daffodils and forget-me-nots into a basin, the entire room filling with a cloying floral scent. “I don’t want it,” he says firmly. If this is what having a “special” heart means, he wants one that’s mediocre. He’s never seen his sisters throwing up flowers. He wants one of those hearts, instead.(Jaskier has had an affliction that makes him vomit flowers since he was a child). (He finds the entire thing obnoxious, frankly).

Revived Promises - by frogcryptids - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 12212

Summary: Jaskier took a step forward, almost bumping his knee to Geralt’s. He handed him the deep brown box, unaware of how familiar it had become to Geralt’s eyes. Without another word, but with one last small wavering smile and glance at him, Jaskier turned around and left. The door softly clicked into its lock after it closed behind him. — Jaskier came back one spring carrying a small box he tries to hide from Geralt. Geralt’s curiosity won’t let it go.

Morning Star - by coffeeandcas - Rating: Explicit - Words: 12635

Summary: Jaskier and Geralt have parted ways, for the final time as far as Jaskier is concerned. Hurt and bitter, he wants to forget all about Geralt of Rivia and move on with his life. The trouble is, Geralt just can’t let him. Set immediately after the events of S1E6, Rare Species.

Pale Shadows Of Forgotten Names - by kissesntea - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 12935

Summary: He knows Geralt came back for him, knows he was at least not lying when he said he missed him (though how much is anyone’s guess), knows he trusts him to travel with his…his little family, to help keep them safe or at least not make things worse, but he never assumed it went beyond that. — In which Yen is a good bro, Geralt Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore, and Jaskier loses his mind. And Ciri sleeps through it.

With a Sigh and a Smile - by SoldierOfMyShadowyMind - Rating Teen and Up - Words: 14043

Summary: “If you’ve twisted your ankle, pride won’t heal it.” As soon as the words are out of his mouth, he wants to bite his tongue at his harsh tone. His punishment is instant. “Pride?” Jaskier echoes sharply and a flicker of pain passes across his face when he turns around and puts too much weight on his right leg.Geralt knows that Jaskier won’t come to him if he’s hurt. The knowledge sits bitter in his mouth. Slowly, he reaches out a hand and takes a step forward until he can touch Jaskier’s elbow. “I merely worry.” After a moment, Jaskier nods but then tired blue eyes meet his and Geralt doesn’t know if it isn’t all slipping out of his grasp. “I know. I wish you wouldn’t, sometimes.”

Or: Jaskier decides to learn how to fight. Geralt doesn’t take it well.

place your hand in mine (how long can this last) - by Curlscat - Rating: Mature - Words: 15089

Summary: "What does the spell do?” Jaskier asks desperately. “Other than make Geralt cling to me, I mean?” “Nothing else,” Yennefer says. Saintly. Smug. “You’ll be stuck with a second shadow for a week or two, though.”“You can’t fix it?” Jaskier asks. Geralt’s hand is firmly inside Jaskier’s chemise, now, and he tweaks one of Jaskier’s nipples. Jaskier slaps at him and says, “Stop that!” // Jaskier accidentally gets Geralt cursed to want to touch him at all times. Since they still haven't really talked since Geralt broke Jaskier out of jail, this means Jaskier is doing a lot of pining. Geralt's probably having a rough time, too. Not that he'll say it out loud.

Sun & Moon - by ontheskyidance - Rating: Mature - Words: 16619

Summary: Geralt has allowed Dudu the doppler to escape in Novigrad. Months after, this decision comes with consequences.

Or: The Witcher and The Bard are forced to realize they have feelings for each other.

Notes Too Low To Play - by WithThisShield - Rating: Explicit - Words: 16923

Summary: “Jaskier,” Geralt says with thinly veiled exasperation. “Tell me you did not inhale it.”“I didn’t inhale it…?” Jaskier laughs nervously. Geralt sighs. “For a bard, you are remarkably unskilled at lying.”He can smell the pheromone shift already, as the spores take effect inside Jaskier’s body. The scent clouds his thoughts, and he struggles to focus on anything except… well. Gods-damn, it’s going to be a long night.

religion's in your lips (even if it's a false god) - by rcfthns - Rating: Mature - Words: 18192

Summary: “Fuck,” Geralt groans, “You’re beautiful.”“Eh,” Jaskier dismisses, as he gets up. “He’s fine, but I wouldn’t go that far.” The witcher gapes at him, his mind going blank.“…What the fuck, Jaskier?” he chokes out after a long pause.

Jaskier hasn't been himself as of late and Geralt is afraid, he knows just the reason for it. (No, he doesn't.)

louder and louder - by smolpot8o - Rating: Explicit - Words: 37852

Summary: Geralt tries to puzzle out why Jaskier keeps following him into danger after danger... completely missing the obvious. There's too great a gulf between what his witcher senses pick up, and what his damaged heart is willing to accept.

// "The bard’s heart always beats faster whenever the witcher draws near. That isn't unusual. So do the hearts of most humans he encounters. Not only do they blanch and recoil at the sight of his white hair and amber eyes, but they begin to sweat, the stench of their fear a sour tang at the back of his throat.But the bard never seems to reek of fear."

What for do you yearn? - by s_a_b_i_n_e - Rating: Mature - Words: 25575

Summary: In the aftermath of the fight against Voleth Meir, Geralt is busy cleaning up the mess around him and planning his next moves. Too busy to realise that a very important part of his plans has disappeared—Jaskier.

overcome - by PenAndInkPrincess - Rating: Teen and Up - Words: 38136

Summary: “I’m not planning on leaving you,” Geralt says on their fourth evening. The witcher doesn’t look up from the bestiary he’s been scrawling corrections in, a pastime of his that Jaskier knows drives other people crazy when they get their books back.Jaskier blinks at him in surprise. “Since when was that in question?” He asks, slightly alarmed at the idea of it.Geralt makes a noise of frustration.“It wasn’t,” he says, his face creased in the way it always is when he has things he wants to say but doesn’t know how to. He sits back and gestures at Jaskier with a vague hand gesture. “You’re just…clingy. Like you’re afraid I’m going to try and leave you.”

(Drawn by a competition but afraid of a dark figure from his past, Jaskier manages to convince Geralt to attend with him) (Now if the witcher would just stop asking why)

Value - by didoandis - Rating: Explicit - Words: 43184

Summary: “Seriously, brother,” Teodora says, “you’re wanted for treason, what in Melitele’s name did you do?” “Nothing,” Jaskier tells her. “It’s just that my soulmate’s the warlord of the north.” She stares at him, open-mouthed. And then she begins to giggle. “Only you, Julek,” she says when she finally has some control back. “You did always like to be dramatic.”

Cause with You, I'm More than Good Enough - by DianaMoon - Rating: Explicit - Words: 67654

Summary: "Every insult, every criticism will be marked upon you, forever reminding you that you are nothing but a simple, pathetic human, who thinks too grand of himself." Well, it was a good thing young Julian was already used to being criticised on a daily basis. "If life could give me one blessing, it would be to take you off my hands!" Jaskier wasn't sure if the pain crackling through him was from the curse or his heart breaking.

Or: How Jaskier was cursed from childhood, and manages his way through life, seeking a cure, and finding the White Wolf instead.

Send you kinky prompts, you say? How about Jaskier, Eskel’s first time giving up his strength and being tied to the bed. If you’re into that

(@dani-dandelino)

Dani! Thanks so much, I'm so looking forward to this <3

Pairing: Eskel/ Jaskier, dom! Jaskier, sub! Eskel. Modern au.

Wordcount: 2.1k

Hot summer days, turning into hot summer nights-- and Jaskier was perishing. Not because of the heat-- but because of his boyfriend. Alone in a cabin the backwoods on holiday, there was little to distract Jaskier from the problem at hand: Eskel's strength.

Eskel's body had recently gotten even stronger, to the point where he could easily heft their bags from the car and carry Jaskier at the same time.

The rippling muscle of his abs when he would remove his shirt as he was chopping wood, the sluicing water down his pecs as he swam through the cool lake water, not to mention the curve of his ass from the squats.

Jaskier was dreadfully aroused at all times. And he did little to conceal it, touching his lover every chance he got. He felt proud that Eskel felt more confidant despite his scars from the car accident, and that he was improving himself.

But not even lemonade could quench Jaskier's desire.

He spoke to Eskel when they were seated on the couch, reruns of The Amazing Race playing quietly on the old TV. The rain was cooling some of the intense heat he'd felt earlier, but Eskel's large body next to him made him cross his legs in order to avoid getting... in an uncomfortable situation.

"Darling," he began, hand flitting over Eskel's forearm and settling to wrap around his wrist.

Eskel turned to him, eyes luminous in the dark night. "Jask?" He asked, and the throaty quality of his tone made Jaskier's skin prickle.

"I'd like to try something, if you're amenable. I know we've experimented before, we're certainly not vanilla, but I wanted to try-- tying you up." Eskel's eyebrows rose, and Jaskier hastened to calm him, tripping over his words. "It's just that I-- you-- you're so strong lately, and while we could recreate a porn video where strong man takes delicate twink, but I brought rope and I--"

Eskel chuckled, and Jaskier paused, eyes nervously tracing shapes over his face.

"I trust you, Jaskier. I would be vulnerable with you, even though it's something we haven't done before. You brought rope? And you'd want to incorporate something else into it?" Eskel's curious gaze was intense, and Jaskier swallowed.

"I-- thought, because it's so hot... we might try ice play?" His words sounded weak even to him, nothing like the confidant Dom he would normally display, and he could tell by Eskel's thumb creating soft movements on his hand that he knew Jaskier was nervous.

"I would be interested," Eskel said. "Tomorrow?"

Jaskier nodded, and Eskel leaned over, kissing him tenderly, his tongue swiping along the seam of his bottom lip. Jaskier gasped, heat flaring in his stomach, and tried to deepen the kiss, only for Eskel to pull away.

"Tomorrow, Master," he whispered, and Jaskier groaned, yearning for more.

"You tease." He complained. "I am dying, and there's no neighbors around. We could just have dramatic, fantastic sex that defies gravity--"

"Tomorrow." Eskel stated. And so it would be.

Crickets hummed in the darkness outside as Jaskier set the final candle down on the window. The ice cubes were in the freezer, and the handsome green silk rope was lying besides the bed.

Strong hands encircled his waist, and he turned, facing a nude Eskel. He swallowed, resting his hands upon the impressive pecs, his lovers body made all the more prominent by the shadows, thrown by the candles rays.

Jaskier slid his palms reverently over Eskel's tanned skin, wrapping his arms around his neck, and brought him for a filthy kiss, licking deep into his mouth and reveling in the noises Eskel made-- soft gasps and whines that went straight to his cock.

As he pulled away, a line of saliva followed him, and Jaskier wiped it away.

"Bed, please," he commanded, and Eskel went, lounging against the headboard, large cock flopped over onto his thigh.

Jaskier was sweating already, but the image of his lover behaving so well for him had him shivering with desire. He crossed over to the bed, and motioned for Eskel's wrist.

Carefully, he wound a slipknot, and slipped Eskel's wrist through it, the green indeed bringing out his lovers eyes when he glanced up at him. Eskel was smiling as Jaskier affixed his arm to the headboard, and teasingly, Jaskier slid over his cock, giving him friction and sitting on it, rocking with his movements as he tied Eskel's other wrist in a similar fashion.

"Master's in a teasing mood, I see," Eskel commented lightly, and Jaskier had to bite back a laugh.

"You never know you'll be getting with me, darling. Wait here-- think of me, get hard." He commanded.

Eskel nodded, as Jaskier slipped out of the room.

The clink of ice cubes seemed loud to the nervous Dom as Jaskier dropped them into a glass bowl. They had never done anything like this before, and he desperately wanted to prove he could do it, to take care of his lover in the best way possible.

Returning to the room, he was greeted with Eskel's cock, half hard and leaking all over his leg.

"You anticipate my arrival, sweetheart," he said, the cool night breeze fluttering his hair and his poets shirt as he drank in the sight.

"I anticipate what you'll do to me, Master." Eskel snarked, his pupils blown as he slid open his legs-- slowly, deliberately, revealing the long expanse of his inner thigh, and his winking hole, slick with lube.

Jaskier moved into the room, setting the bowl upon the bed, and stripped off his own pants, leaving the shirt and boxers on-- he was already fully hard and the shirt would cover it.

He slid onto Eskel's strong thighs, and down his legs, to his foot.

"Ticklish?" He asked, smiling up at his lover as he ran the cold ice over the bottom of his foot.

Eskel giggled, kicking at him lightly. "Don't tease me, c'mon. It's been days since you made me cum."

Jaskier frowned in mock displeasure. "And now Master will take his sweet time with you, if you please."

Eskel grinned, wiggling around until Jaskier swatted his thigh lightly. Then he lay still, looking like the cat who got the cream even as he gasped at the cold ice being run up his leg.

"Tickles, Master," he breathed, and Jaskier grinned, leaning down to sink his teeth into his thigh. Eskel groaned at that, his hips kicking up.

The ice had melted, so Jaskier grabbed another, and then slid it over the indent of his teeth. Eskel wriggled, clearly wanting more. Jaskier turned his head, breathing in the musk of his lover, and bite down once more.

Eskel shouted at the cold, at the pain, and Jaskier released the flesh between his teeth, moving closer, one hand smoothing the ice up his navel and onto his pec.

"Such a sexy body, so delicious and going to be all wet for me. Your nipples are sensitive," Jaskier commented, as goosebumps erupted in the trail of the ice and Eskel sighed, his nipple pebbling up.

Jaskier sucked hard on his lover's neck, holding the ice over the nipple, making circles over the nipple with the ice. Eskel bucked, the headboard creaking as he fought the bonds holding him back.

"Master, please, touch me," he whined, and Jaskier smiled, staring in adoration at the bruise blooming on his lovers neck, and the spaced out look in his eyes.

"All right, I'll touch you," Jaskier shrugged in disinterest, and slid back down his body, his cock dragging against Eskel's hard abs. Grabbing more ice from the bowl, he took two cubes in his hands,and stuck one in his mouth to soften the edges.

He sucked on it, making obscene noises, and Eskel gasped, eyes never leaving his.

"Please, please, please--" he chanted, and Jaskier grinned, slipping the ice out, and sliding his hand up Eskel's inner thigh, to his hole. He traced the hole with the ice, watching Eskel's stomach jump, his cock leaking heavily on his stomach.

"Ah, fuck," Eskel groaned as Jaskier slid the ice cube into his ass, poking it with his finger as it went in.

Jaskier quickly followed it with the next cube, shoving the other one deeper, and Eskel's mouth became a flower, blossoming open as he writhed on the bed.

"Master," he cried, and Jaskier groaned, moving the ice along with him as he sank down onto his knees, Eskel's heavy and large cock in front of his face.

Jaskier stared at it, determined, as Eskel panted above him.

"It's so much, too much, please," he cried, and Jaskier put a hand on his thigh to ground him.

"You're doing perfectly, my love," he praised him, and Eskel shuddered at the praise.

And then Jaskier sunk down, his lips a ring of hot fire as he sealed them around the tip of Eskel's cock, his fingers toying with the entrance of his hole as he felt water seeping out as the heat of his body melted the ice.

Eskel let out a curse of expletives, the headboard creaking horribly as he fought to reach out, to touch.

"That's good, want more," he whined, and Jaskier looked up at him, another ice cube in hand, as he popped off of his cock.

"You'll get it when I tell you so, and not a moment sooner," Jaskier chastised him, pinching his thigh in admonishment.

Eskel nodded, and Jaskier smiled down at him, before he sank down, his throat opening slowly for the massive cock that filled it.

Eskel thrashed, his legs spasming besides Jaskier's head, closing over his back to keep him there. Jaskier breathed through his nose, enjoying the heavy weight on his tongue, swallowing around the cock.

Eskel whined, moaning openly now, releasing himself to his submission, and sobbing as Jaskier slid a fresh ice cube into his ass.

Then Jaskier began to move, hollowing his cheeks, keeping his throat open, concentrated and determined to make his lover feel good. He kept one hand in the ice bowl, one on Eskel's thigh, making sure he knew he was there.

Eskel let loose another stream of curses, and if Jaskier hadn't been so focused on the weight of his cock, he would have pulled off. As it was, he shoved an ice cube into his mouth, glaring at him from where he was impaled orally on his cock.

Eskel garbled around the ice cube, and it muffled his noises-- effective, Jaskier noted, as he continued to move.

When Eskel came, it was a surprise to them both-- the sudden stream of hot cum shooting into Jaskier's throat made him choke, and he gagged, semen running down the cock as Eskel moaned above him.

Jaskier pulled off, swallowing what was left, and moved to untie him. Eskel stopped him with a shake of his head.

"Want you to cum on me. Use me, Master, please." Eskel begged, and Jaskier smiled down at him, wiping the remnants of cum from his chin, and sliding them into Eskel's mouth.

Eskel grunted, his eyes fluttering closed, and Jaskier moved his fingers around, feeling Eskel's tongue and teeth.

"Very well, darling, you'll get your other reward," he sighed, slipping off his boxers, and straddling his ribcage, pressing Eskel's firm and meaty pecs together, with his cock nestled in between.

He moved along the smooth skin, little whimpers of pleasure escaping his lips. Eskel kept moving his head forward, trying to get Jaskier's cockhead in his mouth.

"Wait, and be good," Jaskier admonished him. Eskel nodded, sinking back, but watching the cock move along his chest intently.

The feeling of strong pecs, muscle gripping his cock, and the leftover water from the ice cubes sweetening the deal-- it wasn’t long before Jaskier was rocking the bed on his own, powerful hips moving as he took his pleasure, fucking his chest with everything he had.

“Face? Mouth, which?” He panted, stomach dangerously close to uncoliling and realeasing upon his beloved’s face.

“Face, please Master, want it so badly,” Eskel gasped, sticking his tongue out feverishly.

That did it for Jaskier, and he flung his head back with a cry, back bowing backwards as he spilled, semen shooting out over Eskel’s face. When he returned to himself, he looked down.

Strands of cum covered Eskel’s face, and he was eagerly lapping at the cum that was near his mouth. Jaskier couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, and Eskel’s gaze snapped back to his.

He shifted under Jaskier, and Jaskier felt his hard cock beneath him.

Quirking an eyebrow, Jaskier purred, “And now, how about you fuck me senseless?”

This year I'm going to draw more fan art.

I love @jackironsides' Witcher Fics, so expect more. A Scientific Treatise on Witchering (Jaskier's no good very bad, oh my god it's been months)

I had fun copying little woodcuts and drawings from various sword manuals for this. The one with the Halberd and Sword is apparently a legitimate thing.

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes. Please look at tags and warnings on ao3 before reading.

fill in the blanks by mindshelter

"You?” Tim blurts. Holy shit. “You’re Kon?”

A nod. “Are you in any pain?” he asks again.

Kon’s skin is sun-kissed, cheekbones dusted with a fine smattering of freckles; he is, without exaggeration, the prettiest person Tim has ever seen. “No, I’m—great,” he says, fidgeting. “Do you, uh, come here often?”

Kon raises a brow. “To the medbay?” he intones. “Definitely more often than I’d prefer."

Fault Line by sElkieNight60 (+ podfic)

Part 1 of Tectonics

"You’re invulnerable…” he whispers, but it’s clear that fact falters in his mind.

Confusion writes its way into the lines on Conner’s face and Clark takes a step back as though physically pushed.

“You’re not invulnerable.”

It is a statement, dull like stone.

“N-no, sir.”

— 🦸 —

OR: Conner's not as invincible as Clark thought. Suddenly, he's a lot more human.

Danny Phantom x DC

The Business of Family by Spaced_Ace

Jazz remembered the way their parents loomed in the living room as they’d laid out that verdict. Ever-present weapons gleaming, standing in such a way that they blocked access to both the front and back entrances. Their eyes had been what struck her the most of that horrible tableau. What made her stomach fill with jagged stones and drenched her back in a frigid sweat. The way they looked at her little brother, their gazes cold and hollow and -

Hungry.

(Things are not well in Amity Park.

With the GIW getting more and more aggressive and their parents becoming ever more suspicious of Danny each day that passes, Jazz knows that they're running out of time. It's not safe, and their options are painfully limited. Out of sheer dumb luck or a little intervention from Clockwork, she manages to discover a distant relative that just might be their salvation.

If asked Oswald Cobblepot would say that it's just good business. Adopting a few kids had done wonders for Bruce Wayne's reputation, why not his? It's not like he can't afford to put them somewhere out of the way if they get to be a problem. It's just business. Nothing more.

(His soft heart says otherwise))

The Witcher

Words of Love by ForestWren

"I should warn you,” Jaskier said between kisses in the soft darkness of the shed, “That I know some… very interesting people. You may want to avoid meeting them.”

“I’ve dealt with the Redenian court for decades. Your friends can’t be worse than that.”

Five times Radovid meets Jaskier's friends and family, plus one time they are alone.

Star Wars x The Mandalorian

Master Skywalker: The Absolute Worst by PrinceJakeFireCake

"Din got to his feet. He patted Boba on the shoulder affectionately.

“You should watch the recording of Skywalker fighting the death troopers,” he said, then pressed a kiss to Boba’s cheek and told Grogu to stop eating his blocks.

Boba watched the recording. He was pretty sure he would never be the same again. He was positive that he never wanted to meet Skywalker ever again.”

Boba Fett falls for Luke Skywalker. It isn’t the funnest thing he’s ever done.

Original Works

Call Me Menace by wingedcat13

You, Synovus, are a respectably terrifying supervillain. Your main rivals, a pair of superheroes named Legionnaire and Athena, are actually respectable as heroes. You hate having to stoop to kidnapping their child - but you hate more what the kid's behavior implies.

if it don't hurt now (just wait a while) by quandaries_and_contradictions

Part 27 of mage in a wolf pack

When the hunters first take him, Jaime knows everything will be okay.

He’s scared, of course. He wants his mom and dad and little sister. But he knows it’s going to be okay — because the wolves who protect his town will come for him. Lada’s mother and father and papa won’t let the hunters get away with this. All he has to do is hold on until they get here.

Months later, he's not so sure.

Stranger Things

No One Rides For Free by weird_witchcraft

"Are you okay Harrington?” Eddie asks gently, “Need me to get anyone?”

“No one to get,” replies Steve, so soft Eddie barely catches it. “You think I want anyone seeing me like this?”

Eddie Munson stumbles across Steve Harrington crying next to a bush at Tina's party and makes it his mission to cheer him up.

Clone Wars

mirci't be uja by ihathbenobiwankenobied for whitchry9

Obi-Wan is usually good at keeping track of his blood sugar levels–because he has to be–but this time, it’s out of his control.

(Or, a diabetic Obi-Wan is thrown for a loop after crashing on an unknown planet. Stim does his best to keep his General alive)

He sees her last. After the blood and the gloom and the despair that plagued his sight, after the death and the wails and the pleas that teared at his chest, he sees her last.

Chaos, he thinks, has never looked more serene.

In another place, at another time, it would be beautiful.

Now Yennefer meets his eyes from across the hall and a sudden jolt shakes her whole and she runs, gods, she runs to him with such helplessness and relief that he knows he will welcome the most bruising hug, if it means it will keep her afloat. There is a weeping beauty in sadness, but not for her eyes. Never for her eyes.

As she buries her head in his shoulder, he feels her heart digging a hole in his chest. He holds her tight.

"Thank the gods," she whispers, as though to herself, "thank the gods you're alive."

In another place, at another time, he would make a joke, perhaps about the feeling not being mutual, just to steal a smile and a banter from her lips.

But he has no heart for that now. Not even for that.

He only has a chain clenched tight around his heart and gutting his voice in shame every time he opens his mouth to speak. "Yennefer, I–"

At once, she looks at him. "No words." As though she knows what he would say, as though she knows all he hasn't done, and mourns him anyway. She shakes her head, eyes huge and dark and pleading. "You can't stay here, it's dangerous. You have to go. You have to find Geralt."

"Yennefer, Yen– I know." His fingers dig into her arms and he can't bear to loosen his hold, he can't bear to let her go. Not yet. He smiles, soft. Leans to search for her eyes, for just a moment of peace in their turbulent current. "I just wanted to see my darling witch."

Yennefer stares at him for a moment, shoulders tense. Then, she huffs a laugh. Her expression softens, almost crumbles.

He feels her hands shaking where she holds him and the corners of her lips tremble as though with all the unspoken screams of the sea trapped into a single shell, wailing and weeping and waiting to be heard. He only wishes he had time to put her heart to his ear.

Her voice is quivering as she speaks. "I don't know where Ciri is," she says and it sounds like the complaint of a mother and a child crushed into one, like the world's cruelest crime, the earth's deepest regret, choked in swallowed tears. "I don't know where she is, I don't–"

She doesn't let her face break, as if she knows that when the bottle cracks, there will be no end or beginning, as if she knows he will only have to stay there, and hold her through it. And he cannot stay here between death's teeth.

She can't afford this too.

But he knows terror when he sees it in her eyes, for it is not frequent, and floods them with a different kind of darkness. It breaks his heart.

She looks at him for a moment deeply, in thought. Then she lets out a sharp breath. Quiet, exhausted. "Gods, Jaskier. I'm losing everything all over again. And then," she nods at him from tip to toe and laughs again, as though she finds it absurd, "here you are. Here you always are."

Maybe it sounds painful, because she winces.

Maybe she cannot bear looking at him, maybe in hope it will hurt less if she loses him. But Jaskier doesn't abandon her eyes, only stays there, because their violet melts just like then, just like that other time she was all bereft and scared and he got to see it, and knew. Yet again, a familiar kind of despair.

But, gods. What else could one make out of shared pain, except for love?

A tear flows down her cheek, and he wipes it away with his thumb before it shatters. He holds her face. "Hey. You are not in this fight alone." He swallows, voice thick, hand firm as though to caress the love on her skin and right into her. "Not anymore."

Oh, she has been alone for so long. So long that her first instinct is to disbelieve him, doubt him, squint. But it is only for a moment.

Because his thumb is still stroking her cheek clean of stray tears and her brows can only twitch in desperate acceptance as she slowly covers his hand with hers and leans into his touch, closes her eyes. Presses on, as though to memorize the shape of his palm when it's missing, as though asking of him to remember her shape.

Jaskier can't hear her, but feels her own voice in his head as he prays they don't become no more than a memory.

"We'll meet again." She looks at him again and now her voice is steadier.

It makes him smile. He will miss this. Offering a hand for her to lean into every now and then. Watching as she rises again, indelible.

A chuckle, as the curtain threatens to rise. "Eh, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Besides," he speaks softer now, like a lullaby, like a confession, "I could never be done with the likes of you, Yennefer of Vengerberg."

A promise.

And Yennefer smiles, through the tears, and shakes her head. How strange, how comforting. To fight so hard for a purpose, and to know the purpose is willing, at last, to fight back for you.

With a deep sigh, she raises her head. And there she is again. Solid, seething, like a burning hill. "Don't leave Geralt alone."

"You know I won't." Then, pleading. "Be strong."

He knows she will be. It's mostly to remind himself.

Slowly, their hands drop away, and he hopes the warmth of her touch lingers on his hand for a while.

"Be brave," she replies, but she knows too. "I won't be there to save you this time." Jaskier huffs, mostly to hold back tears. "Well, then," she continues, and her voice is suddenly strained in a half-laugh, half-sob, an attempt perhaps, to seal the promise back. "Goodbye. Good luck–"

Only, she can't.

Her voice dies in her throat, and she presses her lips together, in refusal, in grief. Her eyes are wet again.

Jaskier lets out a silent gasp and shakes his head, pulling her close one last time, tighter than before. This is too much. He can't ask for too much. So he only lets her steal some breaths from his chest before he lets her go, and places a kiss on her head.

He feels her holding her breath, or his, as she pulls back and silently looks at him one last time.

And then, like a cord snapping in two, she turns around and walks outside the room. She doesn't look back.

And Jaskier watches numb. Her form disappears behind the walls and he stands wrecked, a sob threatening to rip his throat apart.

Broken, trembling, he smiles at her remaining memory, and decides to seal her promise himself. "Good riddance."

His voice echoes back to him in the empty hall.

#hiii insane hour again!! who's asleep #anyway i want the equivalent of goodbye good luck good riddance in part 2 and if i can't have it i will do it myself #also not to get meta on my own fic but you know. the promise of meeting again returning back to jaskier. you know #the witcher #yennskier #yennefer of vengerberg #jaskier #s3 spoilers #the witcher s3 #fic recs #chrysa writes #or tries to idk i'm tired

Fake Dating Fic Recs

Geraskier

The Grass is Greener by @jaskierswolf Rated G, 6k

Jaskier's mother is coming to stay and his garden is an absolute mess and his lawn mower has seen better days... luckily for him his ridiculously hot neighbour is there to lend a hand.

A Favor for a Friend by biancarambles Rated T, 5k

As if being hopelessly in love and sharing a room with his best friend Jaskier isn’t hard enough for poor Geralt, he just can’t say no when Jaskier asks him to accompany him to his grandfather’s funeral. What better way to get back at Jaskier’s estranged, homophobic family than attending the funeral with a handsome (fake) boyfriend in tow? Any heartbreak on Geralt’s part is just collateral damage.

Christmas Downhill by avengeful-bunny (brodeurbunny30) Rated T, 66k

Jaskier, a struggling musician on the outs with his wealthy, elitist family is invited to spend a very special Christmas at his childhood home...with his boyfriend that technically doesn't exist. Enter Geralt, a Law student and part-time ski instructor who happens to fit all the requirements to play fake boyfriend in front of the family, for a small fee. With the magic of the season in the air, will the plan go flawlessly, or will a case of the feelings cause it all to go downhill? Either way, it promises to be a Christmas to remember.

The Bet by ladyprydian Rated T, 12k

“It was your idea Geralt!” Jaskier says. “ ‘Why don’t you cheat Jaskier’ you said-” “I did not say that!” Geralt growls. “ - so if I’m going to cheat you’re going to cheat with me!” “No Jaskier, absolutely not!” “Please Geralt. It’s just for December. Be my boyfriend for a month.”

I Scream a Truth, You Hear a Lie by @flowercrown-bard Rated T, 21k

When some bigoted man insists that Geralt can’t feel love, Jaskier blurts out that they are married - which they very much aren’t. So naturally, Geralt and Jaskier have to pretend to be husbands to convince people that Geralt is lovable, though no one doubts that more than Geralt himself.

Fast Track to Happily Ever After by trekkiepirate Rated T, 3k

Geralt opened his eyes to see Jaskier frantically tossing their belongings into packs. “That’s my shirt, not yours.” Jaskier looked down at the black linen in his hand and then tossed it into Geralt’s pack. “Right, yes, I knew that. Glad you’re awake; we need to go.”

Kiss me, for real this time by @jaskierswolf Rated T, 2k

“So… you’ll come to the banquet to protect me, but not as my bodyguard?” Jaskier sang. Geralt furrowed his brow and hummed. Jaskier rolled his eyes and scoffed. “Well you still refuse to use the term friend so that won’t work. You’ll have to be my plus one!” He laughed at his own joke, ignoring the spike in his heartbeat. Just a joke, Jask. Geralt hummed and tilted his head. “Alright.”

Snowstorm by @lovelyrita1967 Rated T, 9k

Geralt and Jaskier work in a restaurant together, but a snowstorm changes everything.

winnings and weddings by @purpurred Rated M, 16k

Jaskier and Geralt have to pretend to be engaged. Surprisingly, it's Geralt's idea. Everything is simultaneously the most hare-brained scheme and the most thorough production in the world.

Wild Blue Yonder by @jaskierswolf Rated T, 5k

Geralt's bookshop is slowly falling apart and he's ready to give up when Jaskier wanders into the store

overcome by @penandinkprincess Rated T, 38k

Drawn by a competition but afraid of a dark figure from his past, Jaskier manages to convince Geralt to attend with him. Now if the witcher would just stop asking why.

A Valentine's to Remember by @jaskierswolf Rated T, 3k

For Valentine's Day Jaskier has arrived to walk alpacas with his very best friend in the whole wide world... the catch? They have to pretend to be dating to get the Valentine's Day discount.

~~~

Other Pairings

champagne problems by @yoursummerfrost Yennefer/Jaskier, Geralt/Yennefer/Jaskier, Rated T, 11k

When Jaskier finds out that his ex-boyfriend is getting married, he convinces Yennefer to help him stage a fake proposal so he can ruin the wedding. There's just one problem: it turns out they both know the caterer.

Don't Stop Believin' by @skaldingrayne Lambert/Jaskier, Rated T, 5k

"I wish I could find a guy like you to actually date," Jaskier mumbled, so softly Lambert almost hadn't heard him over the music. Lambert snorted, a sharp and unwelcome pain shooting through his chest at the joke. Not that it was a very funny one. "Literally standing right here, Jas." "Yeah, but...not straight, I mean," came Jaskier's mystifying reply. Wait…Straight? Him? Lambert craned his head back just far enough to look Jaskier in those unfairly blue eyes. "You…You know I'm bi, right?"

A Marriage of Inconvenience by @ghostinthelibrarywrites Yennefer/Jaskier, Rated M, 7k

When Jaskier asks Yennefer to pretend to marry him in order to go undercover in a Nilfgaardian operative’s court, she decides she can’t let Geralt’s ridiculous bard get himself killed. But in the weeks that follow, the two grow closer and Yennefer begins to develop some inconvenient feelings for her pretend husband.

#the witcher #geraskier #geralt #jaskier #fake dating #yennefer #yennskier #lambert #the witcher fic rec #reclist #fic rec #fic recs #shoutout to jaskierswolf for writing a truly impressive number of these and providing us all with wonderful things to read!#and as always feel free to add your own recs in the notes -- it would make me very happy :D

March Monthly Roundup

A belated St. Patrick’s Day, and Happy Easter if you celebrate! Sadly, I had a busy March, so this month’s rec list is short and sweet!

BATFAM Too Close to Rotting to be Alive by alicecrow6 (gen), <1k, Damian Wayne-centric, Angst The thoughts of a rotting corpse not yet placed in his grave.

pull up the ladder when the flood comes by mintchocochips (gen), 4k, Cass Cain-centric Black Bat is operating in Hong Kong. Bruce is dead. A hell of a lot of people are dead. Cass is trying her damnedest not to drown. She doesn't want anyone else to drown either. She just wants to be good. She is maybe, just maybe, not okay.

charity by Valkrin (gen), 7k, Different First Meeting, Bad Parent!Drakes The biggest downside of being adopted by Bruce Wayne is putting up with rich people events, including one where Jason will be in a room with a bunch of rich kids for a couple very long hours while Bruce goes to the adults' meeting. Jason is ready for a very bad time but the Drake kid listens to him from the start and keeps backing up Jason's ideas even though they've never met. Jason warms up to Tim Drake long before Mad Hatter tries to take over the meeting and Tim backs him up again.

the picture frames have changed and so has your name by Zahri (gen), 24k, Case Fic, Hurt/Comfort There’s something wrong with Dick. Tim thought everything was getting back to normal. Bruce was alive and back in their timeline, the Birds of Prey were once again operating out of Gotham, Dick had the city well under control as Batman and even Damian had been less obnoxious than usual. And then during a firefight at a warehouse by the docks, Tim was almost hit by a flying boomerang. And Dick never noticed. When something is wrong with your big brother, who else do you turn to but your big sisters?

Fatherhood for Dummies by Havendance WIP, (gen), 6k, Batman Comics, POV Jack Drake When Tim runs away to No Man's Land, it takes Jack far too long to realize that he's gone. Once he does though, he'll do anything he can to get him back.

THE WITCHER Flung to Catch a Star by inexplicifics WIP, (Eskel/Geralt/Jaskier), 63k, Accidental Warlord AU Morvran Voorhis, first-ranked prince of Nilfgaard, has been sent to Kaer Morhen on a diplomatic mission. His tasks are twofold: first, negotiate a nonaggression treaty between the wild barbarian Warlord of the North and the Nilfgaardian Empire. And second, ingratiate himself with the mysterious Warlord’s daughter and heir apparent, Princess Cirilla. Sir Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Ceallach, a Vicovaran knight, has been assigned to protect young Prince Voorhis on this mission. Prince Voorhis may be the best of a bad lot, but Cahir’s still not looking forward to the threats or the temperature of a winter in the distant North. They both know their mission is a dangerous one. But they don’t know where the true danger lies…and while they know how to navigate Nilfgaard’s treacherous court, they are not prepared for Kaer Morhen. This is a mission they might not survive…and if they do, they might be changed beyond all recognition.

HARRY POTTER Three Body Problem by cabezas_de_vaca (gen), 43k, Alternate Hogwarts House Sorting To the girl with the bushy hair and the hungry mind, the Hat says RAVENCLAW; To the boy with the scar and the ask of otherwise, the Hat says SLYTHERIN; To the sixth son who has already chosen the two others, from a chance encounter on a train, the Hat says HUFFLEPUFF; and Flitwick is delighted and Sprout is intrigued and Snape is resigned, to say the least. Or: Perhaps the trio is inevitable everywhere, but in this variation, none of them are in Gryffindor, and they do their best to build things anyway.

CROSSOVER While You Were Missing by basil_coffee_and White Collar x Batman (Jason Todd/Roy Harper), 23k, Accidental Baby Acquisition, Jason!Neal A familiar redheaded child darts across the bullpen with a shout of “PAPA!” and barrels into Jason’s arms. “Lian–” He breathes. Jason's undercover work as Neal Caffrey is difficult for several reasons. He didn't anticipate that single parenting would be one of them, though.

Rec List 6: The Witcher

- Lost in Translation by notebooksandlaptops

“Are you alright?” Jaskier asks. He’s been dragged outside again during the middle of one of his sets. That’s fine. He was almost expecting it. Geralt has become a little bit predictable, and a bad mood usually means he’ll want a quick pick me up at some point.

“I will be in a moment,” Geralt growls, and he pushes Jaskier up against the wall.

And it's fine. Normal. New normal. Jaskier goes and he goes happily and willingly. But there’s something that is tugging on his mind, something that aches.

He doesn’t put his finger on it until afterwards. “You really will have to start being more patient. I do need to make a living – and you dragging me away in the middle of my songs all the time is bad for business.”

Geralt gives a chuckle, “you’re saving money on the whorehouses, are you not?”

And oh.

Geralt is using him for sex.

-///-

Or, Jaskier and Geralt start having regular sex. Jaskier thinks it doesn't mean as much to Geralt as it does to him. He's wrong.

Oneshot, 3,639 words

- Five people who don't listen to Jaskier (and one person who always does) by notebooksandlaptops

Jaskier was all too aware of the titles he’d accumulated over the years.

Jaskier: Greatest Bard on the continent, friend and companion to the White Wolf, Master of the Seven Liberal Arts, renowned Professor of the grand Oxenfurt Academy, considerate, heartfelt lover and, ultimately, when it came down to it, a right annoying prick.

“Fucking bard,” the innkeeper muttered under his breath, for once far more perturbed by Jaskier’s presence than by the Witcher who stood behind him, “do you ever stop talking?”

-///-

Or, Five people who don't listen to Jaskier (and one person who always does)

Oneshot, 4,126 words

- Loose Tongues & Blue Dresses by notebooksandlaptops

Let it never be said that Jaskier is useless. Perhaps he can't wield a sword like Geralt, perhaps he can't do magic like Yennefer, but he has his own set of skills that are equally vital when it comes to winning this war.

And Jaskier was rather enjoying this role if he did say so himself. Perhaps it was a little unpleasant to have the Kings filthy hands all over him but the silks and finery, the dresses and the makeup, finally getting to put his long hair to good use, getting to shave off that awful beard he’d been sporting?

Definitely fun.

-///-

Or, the one where Jaskier wears a dress in order to infiltrate a court

Oneshot, 10,231 words

- No Marks by didoandis

Geralt feels his stomach turn. “Tell me what happened,” he growls. Because something happened in this room. Something bad.

“You don’t know?” the mage says. “I suppose I’m not surprised. He was very keen that you didn’t find out. That was the only thing he insisted on, no marks.”

Geralt glares at him. The mage looks back, unperturbed. “Don’t scowl at me like that, beast. Everything I did was agreed to.”

Jaskier would do anything for Geralt.

Oneshot, 13,703 words

- Monsters by didoandis

The girl is young, earnest and a little scared. “Do you kill monsters if they’re human?” she asks abruptly.

Geralt nods at her to sit down, looking around him to check if anyone’s listening. “Tell me what’s troubling you.”

“There’s a woman,” the girl whispers, leaning forward over the table. “Rich. Powerful. She collects people. And when she takes a fancy to someone, they’re never seen again.”

Jaskier gets taken apart. Geralt works to put him back together.

Oneshot, 16,245 words

- A Kept Man by didoandis

Jaskier’s eyes are sliding closed. He should leave. He should know, by now, not to outstay his welcome. But Geralt’s hand has come down to rest on his forehead, a thumb stroking into his hair. And just like always, he’s too weak to resist.

Five times Jaskier didn’t have a choice about staying and one time he did.

2/2 Completed, 18,022 words

- Lessons in Losing by didoandis

“Huh,” Jaskier says.

“You remember?” Geralt tries to keep the note of hope out of his voice, and doubts he’s been successful.

“Not in the slightest,” Jaskier says cheerfully. “But I must admit it sounds like something I’d do.”

When Jaskier forgets their life together, Geralt learns an unexpected lesson.

Oneshot, 11,270 words

- Chivalry by didoandis

“What was it this time, bard?” Geralt asks.

“Chivalry,” Jaskier tells him, loftily, and then the rope is cut and Jaskier’s feet hit the ground, jarring his body all the way up to his aching shoulders, and he passes out.

Jaskier makes an enemy. Geralt comes to his rescue. Must be a Tuesday.

Oneshot, 1,343 words

- In the Deep Dark Hills by didoandis

“You’re making a mistake,” Jaskier says. “Trust me – I’ll be watching Geralt rip out your intestines before all this is over. I’ve seen it before. It’s not pretty.” He draws himself up, shows his teeth. If this is going to go badly, he intends to be as difficult as possible about it.

The alderman glares at him. “Enough of this,” he says, commanding; there’s a heavy dull thud at the back of Jaskier’s head, and a brief burst of pain, and then blackness.

When Geralt is late returning from a hunt, Jaskier’s the one who suffers for it. Things get worse before they get better.

Oneshot, 11,656 words

- Gift by SeelieSkelliger

"So, you must be Geralt’s bard.”

There came a hollow chuckle in response. “Once upon a time, perhaps. Now, I don’t know what I am. Probably at best I’m an annoyance, more likely I’m a burden.” Jaskier was staring at the floor near his feet, so he missed the soft look Vesemir gave him before sitting at the foot of the bed.

“You brought Ciri back here safely. After you started travelling with him, Geralt finally seemed to be alive again when he would come back here for the winter. Your songs have made all our lives better. I would not call you a burden, bard. I would say your presence in our lives has been a gift.”

Written for Witcher Bows & Arrows event 2022 - Day 4 prompt: Gift This story follows on from yesterday's fic, 'Sacrifice', but you can read it as a standalone. Jaskier struggles to work out where he fits in, featuring soft Vesemir and sweet Yen.

Oneshot, 1,388 words
