IM BACK *hair flip* and here with my big ol idea trench coat!! I GOTS SOME FLUFF!! So , as I was listening to Taylor Swift (Gorgeous to be specific) , I got an idea. What if the reader is a bard, specifically the college of glamour. I feel like it would make sense with my second idea. In your possession, I can see you holding fey touched Violin. If you have watched Owl house, there's a particular scene where Eda and Raine play together, that's what I thought the effects were (whenever strumming)! ANDDD, what if your form of love was gift-giving. Specifically, songs... I KNOW IT SOUNDS CHEESY BUT HERE ME OUT! Your big thing is constructing songs, mostly you stuck with the ones that weren't super personal. And you defiantly put your entire buhdussy into all of them. Kinda was thinking of Jaskier while also thinking of this. WHat IFFF, you start to form feelings for one of the party members in the group (maybe vox machina?) The only way you've let your feelings pour out of you was through music, so that's what you did. You spent most hours in the night conjuring up melodies about that said party member, sweet little words filled with bubbly confessions of love. One night, what if one of the members in the group strolled by your room and your playing caught their ears. Specifically when you dropped their name/described their features/etc etc. Would they leave it alone? Would they sit in their inn room , pondering on what they heard? Would one of them question you the next day? Would they encourage you to play more? (Sorry if this was a little too cheesy!!)

Nothing is ever too cheesy!! Song and word is the way to immortalize your lover

Scanlan - as a bard who appreciates the arts and song, he’s touched!! A sure way into his heart. Thinks about what he wants to say first before confessing back

Grog - thinks what you’ve written about him is so sweet. Has no chill and bursts right into your room to hug tackle you

Vax’ildan - thinks it’s super sweet you feel that way about him, and that it’s portrayed in the best way possible. Ponders a while until he crosses you in the hallway with a shoulder touch and a “I feel the same”

Keyleth - no one’s really written a song about her before, she thinks it’s so sweet. Doesn’t know what to say just yet until you catch her listening one night. Then it’s confession time

Percy 👓 - feels his heart beating at a thousand paces per minute. You wrote a song…about him? He’s shocked, surprised, but also touched and flattered. You think so highly of him and he’s rethinking how your interactions go. Ponders for a few days before he finally confesses

Pike - well it’s no song by Scanlan that’s for sure 😆, but ultimately she’s flattered you wrote a song about her. And it’s so intimate and personal.

Vex’ahlia 🏹 - oh aren’t you so sweet!! Talks to you the next day about it and never falls short of her compliments or what she feels for you

so maybe it happens like this.

maybe there are fae living in the Upside-Down and Other Side of Things and Places in their sunlit halls and starlit gardens unbothered by and uninterested in the plagues beyond the borders of their dwellings. but the humans who now so selfishly shape earth and claim everything they touch as their own are so delightfully fun to play with and torment and maim

so maybe it’s just a common sense to keep a sprinkle of salt or an iron nail in your pocket when you go about your work in the fields or walk through meadows. steps careful, eyes sharp

except maybe there’s an unattended toddler stumbling through rings of mushrooms and chasing bees, giggles and clumsy jumps over rain puddles, whom no one cared to warn

(and human children are such marvelous little creatures - you can’t really blame the fae when this one is practically banging on their front doors)

maybe they don’t even bother to place a Changeling in julian’s place as the wind and tree roots lead him from his bed and through the window, bare feet ankle-deep in mud

maybe there is a Fae King to whom all the twisted creatures bow, who’s in a sour mood that night. maybe they seek entertainment (or maybe they just plan to tear the child’s head off)

but maybe the crown they wear is studded with buttercups and even if the child has only now learned to walk and talk, he knew singing even before he took his first breath and the poison yellow flowers do so inspire a song and oh.

maybe instead of unwilling blood taken there is a gift freely given. maybe there is the gift accepted and maybe there is a Boon bestowed

(and what boon is more gracious than the taste of grin sharp, black lips, teeth too many?)

and so maybe the child is returned home that night with dreams filled with pollen and starlight and bitter taste of summerwine. and where julian went to sleep jaskier wakes up none the wiser

his oh so dear parents have never cared, his oh so tired governess - circles of black under empty eyes, fingers like a bow, wrapped around a bottle neck. and the boy is a child whose memories still haven’t learned to cling, so maybe the days and weeks turn to months and years and life goes on

and it may not even be his singing or musical talents, that all can be him still. but maybe there are the little things that no one cares to notice or consider. because after all, who really knows how well exactly does a human eye see in the dark. who really pays attention to how fast small wounds heal

and is it not obvious? maybe the poison accidentally drunk was just a dose not lethal

ordinary people often have unordinary talents so is it really worth a notice if someone learns just slightly too fast, if under someone’s hands flowers grow just a little more lush and if at someone the wild dogs don’t dare to bark?

and if his fingers tingle while holding iron, well. he’s a poet not a smith. and if he tastes blood and ash in the back of his tongue when he’s about to tell a lie, well. growing up, every village woman, grandmother and hag made sure to remind him that lying is bad and well. the taste of it is bad, they must have meant. it seems unnecessary anyway.

after all... the meanings of truth and honesty are not even closely related

(songs don’t count, of course. when lyrics rhyme and fit the note then they ring true, that’s a fact any poet knows)

and maybe he likes to know the names of people he meets, maybe the sound of them said out loud sparkles, taste of ripe peaches on his tongue but what of it. names have power. that’s a known fact, for names or enchantments, it must surely be the same for all

and maybe under the glow of pale stars, in the flare or fire spark or between the green spots that cloud one’s sight on a day too bright the shining eyes and teeth too sharp appear just s flash. A dream. A trick of light. (if a glamour has never been acknowledged or asked to be lifted, how could one then say it even exists?)

maybe people notice somehow. children tug on his sleeves, eyes wide, fingers reaching for his lute demanding a song. adults bite lips and flutter lashes, his music welcome in their ears, his breath welcome on their skin. but there’s something, something shifting beneath on the Upside-Down and Other Side, and it’s what soon after makes their steps away a little faster. he’s sweet, the bard, but talks too much. he’s sweet, the bard, but like his music he’s just a fleeting thing, an enjoyment for a night. he’s sweet, the bard, and he is as human as they come.

geralt, of course, doesn’t realise. amber eyes watchful and bright don’t even see dragon scales underneath the wrinkles of the old man with whom they dine. but after all, the medallion is quiet when there is no magic casted. no spells, no curses, no monsters. (a boon. a gift. a blessing, nothing more.) jaskier is as human as they come.

yennefer frowns when reaching into his thoughts, the walls of his mind sticky like honey, sweet like tree sap. (but maybe the bard just found a new way to annoy the pure hell out of her, why wouldn’t he?) she pays attention but all he does is trip over his words and feet, please. he’s as human as they come.

maybe, in the end, it happens as it often does, with the last man standing.

maybe it’s creatures, maybe it’s soldiers, doesn’t really matter what form the monsters take. but geralt is down and bleeding, yennefer is helpless and screaming and ciri, oh gods, ciri -

and jaskier’s hands are empty and trembling and he’s

useless, useless, useless bard. human as they come.

and maybe that’s when there’s the ever softest sound of hope lost, tears spilled like dew

and maybe that’s when there are insects buzzing, tree roots cracking, air filled with the scent of rain on fresh leaves, the skin-crawling hum of Other

and maybe that’s when there are the too bright eyes and the too sharp teeth and fingers all claws and after?

after.

after, when the ground is sated with fresh blood spilled, when wounds are treated and healed, then maybe all there is left is a lot of confused shouting

(‘how did you not know?!’ and ‘how did you not know?!’ and ‘of Course only you could get yourself snatched by fae!’ and ‘how dare you! i don’t even know what that means!’ and ‘precisely, you moron!’)

and after, maybe the world stays richer for one trickster, one immortal, one bard

(to his own delight)

(to many others’ misery)

and maybe. just maybe.

maybe there is a laughter in the air like clinking of wind chimes, like flutter of wings, like creaking of rotten wood, like the last sigh of a man dying. the Fae King cackles, the buttercups on their crown gleaming.

‘Now the real fun begins’

There’s nothing I love more then a powerful jaskier au but I’m also extremely fond of when jaskier gets to be an oblivious idiot (geralt can’t hog that title all of the time)

So hear me out, jaskier with magic, but also a jaskier that is in extreme denial about having magic

geralt knew jaskier wasn’t completely human a week after meeting him. He didn’t smell quite right, there was always a slight tinge of ozone under his natural scent, something that felt like raw untapped power

his medallion didn’t vibrate though, so he knew the bard wasn’t a monster. He waited for the other shoe to drop, for jaskier to finally reveal whatever the hell the bard was. Months and months go by, and eventually years and still...... nothing.

geralt watches as the flower crowns jaskier makes never wilt, how the sun shines brighter when he laughs, how people seem to bend over backwards when jaskier smiles hard enough, and how the forest itself seems to create paths for him to walk down, how the road wouldn’t dare to lay a rock in his merry way

it isn’t until they’re in the middle of a bandit attack off the path and geralt watches as the bandit creeping behind jaskier is thrown into a tree with a sickening crack, and the man threatening jaskier with a sword suddenly screams in pain as the metal turns red hot, giving geralt the time he needs to cut the man down, the scent of burned flesh lingering in the hair

jaskier turns to him, a relieved smile on his face, and geralt thinks this is the moment, there’s no denying this, and jaskier just makes some comment about how lucky he was that it was hot out today, and can you imagine how that could have gone if it was fall?

and then geralt realizes,

oh.

jaskier is just a fucking idiot

an idiot who is so convinced of his own humanity that he denies any and all of the signs pointing towards just the opposite

signs like how jaskier always seems to know what geralt needs before he knows it himself

random weird instructions like, make sure you bring an extra vial of Swallow, which comes in handy when swamp water makes the first vial slip right through his hand to smash on the ground or a “don’t forget your cloak” on a perfectly sunny day that turns to a downpour as he trudges back to the inn

all of these instances continue through the years, years that don’t seem to affect jaskier as geralt silently adds possible immortality to his list of “weird things jaskier can apparently do”

eventually when yennefer and ciri join them on their travels, other people are finally privy to jaskier’s powers

yennefer directs a questioning eyebrow toward geralt when the dead bird they stumbled upon twitches to life in jaskier’s hands and flies away.

later that night geralt tells yennefer about all the instances of magic that have surrounded jaskier since they’ve been traveling together

the only thing yennefer can think of is that it must be fey blood, it’s the only explanation that makes sense of all of the raw power

ciri joins the ranks of People Baffled By Jaskier’s Obliviousness when she watches jaskier glare a field of flowers into full bloom and then remark on the power of positive reinforcement because, look ciri!

these instances continue

a perfectly sunny day turns into a downpour when geralt accidentally insults jaskier’s outfit

valdo marx conveniently has an intimate run in with a ditch after crossing paths with them on the road

a tavern bar catches on fire after the owner refused to serve geralt

it all comes to a head when nilfgaardian soldiers manage to corner them in the mountains. Geralt is cutting down soldiers left and right, yennefer is shooting spell after spell. but its obvious they are tiring with so many soldiers, and they are in a space too small for ciri to scream without hurting any of her family

jaskier doesn’t know what’s happening, one second they’re being overwhelmed, and he feels a sensation boiling up in his chest, engulfing his body and growing bigger and bigger with his desperation and he just wants everything to stop and suddenly he feels a need to push out and he closes his eyes and thrusts his hands forward, and everything is..... quiet?

he opens his eyes and he sees geralt and ciri and yen all gaping at him and jaskier looks around and sees frost stretching out from his feet, and ice enveloping all of the soldiers, freezing them in place. there’s neat circles of grass surrounding each member of his family but the frost clinging to his fingertips leaves no doubt about who was the cause of this sudden onslaught of snow.

the bard brushes his hands off on his pants, and makes a small show of straightening his clothes before he looks back at his companions, still staring at him in awe.

“well, that’s new”

yennefer lets loose a loud laugh shocked from her in disbelief, followed by the little giggles of ciri

the bruise geralt leaves on his own forehead after facepalming doesn’t go away for three days

JASKIER DIES OR DOES HE. TELL ME MORE

OH YOU KNOW I WILL

okay so picture this: later in the series/ignoring the Moutain Breakup Episode, jaskier, yennefer and geralt are all traveling together and they keep running into rashes of immortal monsters

1. vampires, obviously

2. banshees and ghosts

3. witches, sorcerers, etc., just plain magic users who prolong their lifespan

you get the idea

and every time they defeat said monsters, the trio has a conversation about immortality in which jaskier has a startlingly negative opinion about it. he doesn’t want to live forever, and he states this in no uncertain terms to the couple of friends he has who are 1. functionally immortal and 2. growing very fond of this dumbass and 3. are now VERY offended that this dumbass is now pretty much blowing off their friendship in the name of a NORMAL LIFESPAN??? WTF??

cue yennefer and geralt subtly (”subtly”) trying to entice jaskier into a life of immortality, never mind that they have no way of turning him immortal without turning him into a vampire or something. (yet. yennefer is working on that bit of the plan as we speak)

and then we run into yet another monster terrorizing a town (gotta love plot contrivances) which seems to get the better of our poor bard (after a significant and drawn out batte im talking longest chapter in the fic, fellas). this happens, of course, THE NIGHT AFTER YENNEFER FIGURES OUT IMMORTALITY FOR JASKIER. they just. hadn’t asked him to become immortal yet because. yennefer and geralt. are awkward.

so then they’ve got a dead body of a dear loved on on their hands and FEELINGS and are MOURNING and then

jaskier wakes up

and has some EXPLAINING to do

you know those silly little songs about running away with the fey and being changed forever but cursed never to tell his loved ones about it that jaskier used to sing on the road?

yeah.

I have two favorite AUs for The Witcher.

1. Jaskier is immortal with no explanation. I actively want there to be no reason - no fey or creature or dragon blood - just a chaotic being who hasn't noticed his lack of aging.

2. Jaskier is not from the witcher world. I'm thinking more of a Narnia or Fillory situation where he is from a universe similar to this one and accidentally finds himself visiting Geralt's world. Instead of freaking out, he leans into the craziness and tries to blend in. That would explain the age problem. He's made multiple visits and the time between worlds moves differently, so his adventures have all happened over the course of like three years.
