Summary:

It was last winter that Jaskier had overheard Geralt while he was playing Gwent with his brothers and lost a bet that one of his biggest fantasies was seeing Jaskier in lingerie and being allowed to do anything he wanted to him then.

He couldn't stop thinking about it since, not really.

So when they returned to Redania in early spring, he knew exactly what he had to do. It would take some planning and some talking, of course, especially considering that he had to keep it all a secret from Geralt, but - and of this, he was more than sure - it would all be worth it in the end.

The bard wore a long red vest that looked to be of the same material as the prized coat that he had been treating so carefully since Geralt first saw it in Kovir. Beneath the vest, a pale yellow sleeveless chemise only made its appearance known because its silky fabric cascaded from below the hem of the vest. At first glance, the fabric looked to be of a solid pale yellow, but if one studied it more closely, the faint lines of a darker yellow traced a silhouette of dandelions.

So excited to share this with you! I had the pleasure of collaborating with @gwylliondream​ for and beta Gilli_ann this year’s @witcherbigbang​ on this cover art for the amazing slow-burn fic, “Visiting Marilka.” 

Loved watching the story come together over the last few months. I’m so glad I was paired with Gwyllion for my first collaborative fandom event, she truly made the process approachable and fun. 

Summary: Months after the mountain breakup, Geralt finds Jaskier performing in a tavern. Before Geralt can consider apologizing, the bard is interrupted by a messenger who notifies Jaskier that his father has died. Jaskier prepares to set off for Lettenhove to console his mother and siblings. Geralt gets caught up in the drama and accompanies Jaskier as he travels to his childhood home. On their journey, Geralt learns that a witcher’s Path needn’t have a predetermined destination.

Here is my art for @hero-complex-girl ‘s incredible story “Please Wake, My Love”. I loved drawing for their wonderful story, which gave me so, so many feels - go and read it!

This is part of the @witcherbigbang .

@lightshadowverisimilitude asked me if I could pitch in as artist for the @witcherbigbang , and I agreed! I haven’t watched the Netflix show or played the game, but I’ve been listening to the audiobooks, and I want to read the books later - and have a look at the show, once I get a Netflix subscription.

This is an illustration to go along with their fic “Come by it Honestly”, which is a crossover between The Witcher and The Untamed. It’s super intriguing and immense fun to read - I highly recommend it!

Thank you for entrusting me with this. :)

Here’s my painting for the witcher Big Bang event! I got to illustrate lexa-gui’s awesome fic Careful What You wish For--check it out!

The fic summary: After encountering a djinn, Jaskier wakes up with everything he's ever wanted. He's teaching in Oxenfurt, his students love him, and he's in a steady relationship with Geralt. Life couldn't be better. So why can't he shake the feeling something isn't quite right? The unassuming paradise hides a dark truth, one Jaskier isn't sure he can face.

It’s so good guys--I‘m so psyched I got to illustrate it!!!!!! Go read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if it Hurts (Even if it Makes Me Bleed)

For the 2020 @witcherbigbang​!

An extra huge thank you to @geewobbles​ for being such a great beta <3

Is that a pickup line? Maybe. It’s the worst one Geralt has ever heard in his very long life, but that isn’t the problem. The problem races, red hot down the length of his forearm, pooling uncomfortably around his soulmark. The scrawled out writing on the underside of his wrist had told Geralt the first thing his soulmate was going to say to him as soon as he could read. Silly as it had sounded, it’s even more ridiculous out loud.

To say Geralt is not a fan of destiny is a monumental understatement. Given the fact that the soul mark scrawled out on his wrist is the worst pickup line he's ever heard, he doesn't anticipate his soulmate being any more welcome than anything else that life has saddled him with. But the longer he spends with Jaskier, the harder his soulmate is to resist, and somewhere along the way Geralt knows he'll have to reckon with whether his feelings are manufactured by kismet or truly his own.

The Shop on Iris Lane: fic by @iam93percentstardust and betaed by @ad1thi, art by @dls-ao3 for @witcherbigbang

Iris Lane is one of the oldest streets in Oxenfurt or, depending on which tour guide you speak to, the oldest street in Oxenfurt. It runs about ten stores long and includes, among other things, a small café, a bookshop, a bakery, a yarn supply store, and of course, A New Leaf, most of which have been there since the town’s opening. Iris Lane proudly boasts being entirely locally owned, no insidious corporations anywhere to be found. There have been a few attempts by Walmart to undersell them but the people of Oxenfurt adore Iris Lane. Those stores aren’t going anywhere.

Jaskier’s store is located across the street from Triss’s Treats, a bakery that specializes in the most unusual—and best—flavors of cupcakes Jaskier has ever had. Triss is particularly good at guessing which flavor each customer is going to order; Jaskier suspects witchcraft. To his right is a bookshop, so old that the sign faded two centuries ago. These days everyone just calls it The Bookshop. Whenever Jaskier passes it by, he always makes sure to wave to the large grey cat that naps in the window. The left side of his shop used to be bordered by a record shop but Valdo Marx (and Jaskier will never admit to helping with this) was run out of town two months ago and the shop’s been empty ever since. 

Jaskier knows each and every person who works on Iris Lane, from the shop owners to their employees. He grew up with most of them, was there when they inherited the business from their parents. He knows what they’re like, knows that they’re his kind of people. So he feels pretty confident in saying that there has not and never will be a tattoo shop on Iris Lane.

Until there is.

//

No matter what his sister or his best friend claim, Jaskier isn’t lonely. How could he be? He’s got his shop and his regulars and brunch with the other shop owners on the street, what’s to be lonely about?

So maybe he sometimes wishes he could hold someone at night. So maybe he’s getting tired of the constant one night stands. So maybe this isn’t the life he envisioned for himself when he was younger. He’s perfectly happy, right?

At least, he is until a tattoo artist with the most unusual eyes moves in next door with his daughter and shows him that there’s more to life than selling flowers and strumming his guitar.

Summary

Geralt and Jaskier are just searching for escape from the oppressive summer heat, when an old acquaintance asks for their help with the current crisis and reveals a past Jaskier had kept hidden. A plague is sweeping the continent, but Geralt would rather not get involved... until a nearby town falls victim to his sort of problem.

Hey there, Witcher fans! Check out my entry to The Witcher Big Bang.

For All the Things We Wished We’d Done 

Grab yourself some Geraskier Hurt/Comfort in this canon-divergent episode 6B of sorts.

Summary: Geralt realizes that he was wrong for scolding Jaskier on the mountainside. He rushes to catch up to him, but the bard has vanished. When Geralt finds him, Jaskier has been beaten and abused. With Yennefer's help, Geralt tends to the injured bard and learns that having loved ones who need him is not as problematic as he once feared. In fact, it’s everything he needs.

Summary: Geralt is determined to get everyone he cares about safe to Kaer Morhen for the winter, but neither Jaskier nor Yennefer are inclined to be cooperative - and then the truth of Jaskier's past comes to threaten the present.

Stuck in the fae realm with the thinnest of lies to keep them from being separated, Geralt and Jaskier are going to have to solve their relationship and keep their wits about them if they want to make it out of here intact. At least Yennefer and Triss are willing to help...

...if Yennefer and Triss could get over whatever they've got going on between them.

Priceless by @handwrittenhello

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.
