    Summary

    Jaskier knows that as a Fae he should stay as far from Witchers as he can. But then he crosses paths with Geralt and well...Jaskier never has done what he should. How can he say no when he's faced with the swirling vortex of destiny that is the White Wolf?
    So what he has to work twice as hard to conceal his identity? So what Geralt might kill him or run him off if he finds out that Jaskier isn't a mere human bard? Jaskier's never been happier. Which means it's only a matter of time before something comes along to screw that up for him.

    Summary

    "Geralt - and I'm not saying this without kindness but - you've got yourself a live-in boyfriend." Eskel says unhelpful.

    "We are not- Jaskier is not my boyfriend."

    Before Eskel can say anything else, Lambert groans loudly.

    "Oh my gods. Do you ever hear yourself?"

    Summary

    Jaskier really didn't mean it. He had this... thing. He's not sure if he was born like this, but for as long as he could remember he's been this way. It's not that he was a Source or had his own innate chaos, more so chaos just seemed to like him. You weren't doing yourself any favors by deciding to stick around him. He was 14 when he realized he was the equivalent of a walking curse.

    His caregivers and guardians knew it, teachers knew it, lovers knew it, and he's sure the witcher knew it too. Except for the fact Geralt had gotten the misconception in his head that it wasn't that Jaskier had "terrible luck," it was that he was "terribly lucky."


    In which Jaskier really is the shit-shoveler. It's still mean to say out loud though.

    Summary

    “And now,” Jaskier announced, after he’d sung a number of songs and the other musicians had given their solo performances, “I’ll be closing the night with a rousing ballad—one that’s become quite a fan favorite of mine in recent years.”

    He began plucking the strings of his lute in something of a melancholic tone. Giddy whispers went through the room. And he began to sing:

    “I hear… you’re alive. How… disappointing.”

    At the end of the line, Jaskier’s voice was scarce more than a whisper, and like gravel besides. Geralt closed his eyes.

    “I’ve also survived, no thanks to you.”

    He knew what this was.

    After defeating the aeschna in the Pontar Delta and disembarking in Oxenfurt, Geralt chooses an inn to stay in, unaware that a certain bard, who he last saw ten years prior, would be playing there that evening.

    Summary

    After a night where both Jaskier and Geralt talk a little too freely, the silved haired monster hunter takes to the Path to keep Jaskier away and to handle his own emotions.

    However, Jaskier is actively offended by the seeming abandonment by what he would consider his closest friend and writes a rather rude song to vent his frustration.

    However, the song ends up being one of his lost popular and far sooner than he hoped, Geralt himself had tracked him down to 'discuss' said rude song.

    Summary

    Geralt hates being laid up, especially when it means that Jaskier insists on staying with him despite there being much more for him on the road than stuck in a single small village for at least a week.

    But maybe he can fix that with a gift for Jaskier?

    Summary

    There’s a part of him that still can’t believe they’re allowed. Jaskier will let Geralt touch him any time he wants. Jaskier wants Geralt to touch him, wants Geralt’s big killing hands on his breakable human body.

    It’s… a lot, sometimes. To process.

    //

    After their talk, Geralt is trying to be better at treating Jaskier the way he deserves to be treated. It's hard.

    Won't make sense unless you've read the previous work.

    Summary

    Geralt and Jaskier run into each other several years after the mountain. Much has changed.

    ...So much so that Geralt somehow fails to recognise Jaskier at all, much to the bard's bemusement.

    Or

    That time that Jaskier went through his break-up era after the mountain and Geralt doesn't recognise him, so he just sort of goes along with it.

    Summary

    After the disastrous dragon hunt, Jaskier gives Geralt his one wish though it will cause him eternal pain to do so. Higher vampires mate for life, only ever giving their heart to their one. Unfortunately for Jaskier, he has already given his heart to the witcher without realizing it. When a vampire's one rejects their heart, they will forever live with chronic, inescapable pain for which there is no cure.

    So Jaskier sheds the skin of the joyful human bard and returns to Oxenfurt to step back into the roles he left behind--Professor Pankratz, Julian the Viscount de Lettenhove, and Dandelion the spy. With Nilfgaard gearing up to go to war, Jaskier is faced with decisions he never wanted to make, a guild to protect, a war to win, a princess to find, a sorceress to save (however begrudgingly), and a pain in his chest that only gets worse the longer the witcher is near.

    Summary

    "Jaskier, listen to me," Geralt said, his voice firm and steady. "I need you to stay here and don't move. I'll take care of the Griffin."
    “You fucking better” Jaskier whisper-yelled back, absolutely appalled. “If it doesn't kill you, I will, you horses’ arse.”

    Despite his reputation as a Witcher, Geralt had found himself with an unexpected companion in the form of Jaskier, a bright lutenist whose scents and emotions Geralt could easily detect with help from his heightened sense of smell.
    And then he left said companion on the side of a mountain, effectively severing whatever it was they once had.

    Since re-united, Jaskier's, though somewhat dampened, ever-zealous attitude for life and his lustful desires, prove difficult as Geralt is forced to navigate their growing relationship and the challenges it brings,
    all whilst facing the dangers of the world around them. Will their bond be strong enough to withstand the perils that lie ahead?
    Or will Geralt once again find himself alone in his quest for survival?

    AKA: The fic where Geralt can literally smell Jaskier's emotions.

    Summary

    I watched the trailer and immediately the suggestion of Jaskier's possible betrayal popped back into my head. I'm so afraid they'll let him do that in the show because it would screw up the whole character. And really he is the only reason I still watch it.
    ---
    So some fear and a Jaskier getting a message from Djikstra that he wants information about you know who. And now our favourite bard is between the two sides and has to make a decision.
