    Summary

    Jaskier doesn’t think he’s ever heard Geralt use the word ‘please’ before, but the longer he’s in Geralt’s presence the more cracks appear in the walls around his heart, and he knows he’ll have to leave for his own good. He doesn’t know how else to get his point across, so he tries brutal honesty. “You broke my heart, Geralt. Don’t follow me anymore.”

    ***

    Geralt seeks to make amends after what happened on the mountain. Jaskier seeks to escape from an apology he can't believe.

    Canon through 1x06 Rare Species.

    Summary

    5 times Geralt doesn't apologise to Jaskier and one time he finally does + Bonus: one time Jaskier apologises as well

    "This is exactly why Jaskier loves the coast. He can lose himself in all the sensations, free his mind. It’s his own kind of meditation, where he can send all his sorrows overseas, everything that he doesn’t want in his head anymore, to have a few moments of peace."

    Summary

    Geralt starts noticing.

    Sometimes he stares. Sometimes he tugs his cloak about him, breath making ghosts in the chilly night air, and lets himself see. Jaskier’s stark profile against the backdrop of the flames. The play of light and shadow over his face, cutting across his neck in a sharp line, dripping soft and golden into the crinkles of his coat.

     

    Or: Things that changed since Geralt met Jaskier. Or Jaskier found Geralt. Or- you know.

    Summary

    “I don’t dance,” Geralt growls when it becomes very clear from Jaskier’s staring, and impatiently curling fingers, that the bard isn’t going to take silence for an answer.

    “Hm. Of course not. I guess you wouldn’t,” Jaskier agrees like that’s the end of it. That’s never the end of it. Even as Jaskier pauses to watch the villagers, or perhaps the smoke drifting from the fire, Geralt waits for the inevitable addendum.

    “But allow me to raise this one point for your consideration.” There it is, accompanied by Jaskier’s expression scrunching in a way that Geralt is exasperated to realize he finds rather endearing. “Have you ever tried?”

    ---

    Geralt lets Jaskier talk him into sticking around for a village's midsummer festival. He assumes they're staying for Jaskier's benefit, but somewhere between the flower crowns and the bonfire, Geralt realizes it was a gift meant for him all along.
