    Summary

    A week after that rather disastrous banquet, Jaskier can tell Geralt's out of sorts. He decides to distract him, by bringing up another very important moment from the evening.

    "My balls are perfectly fine, I'll have you know!"

    Summary

    "You're such a sweetheart," Jaskier said without thinking. Apparently his brain still hadn't caught up.

    "Hn."

    Jaskier wasn't sure but there seemed to be the lightest, barely visible, dusting of pink on Geralt's cheeks.

    Wanting to test his theory, Jaskier intentionally continued, "An absolute dear. This is really kind of you, Geralt. Thank you so much, darling."

    Yes. It was a blush indeed. One that had gotten slightly deeper.

    Summary

    For Geralt, the Trials brought not just strength and speed but an acute sensitivity to the world around him that, at the worst, left him in agony at the mere brush of a hand against his. Vesemir had trained him to withstand it, to be strong, to endure every touch and injury until he could master the sensitivity and exist in a world that despises him.

    And then he'd met Jaskier and everything had changed.

    Summary

    It was an utterly unremarkable evening when it happened. A moment of quiet - well, for some Jaskier-adjusted value of "quiet", anyway, muttering and the occasional lute chord notwithstanding - across a campfire in some anonymous patch of forest, like hundreds of nights before, like hundreds of nights to come.

    Geralt swallowed hard. A moment; a chance. A choice. He'd watched Jaskier grow from a brash, impulsive youth who flung himself into danger as though he couldn't help himself, into a brash, impulsive man who knew what he wanted and pursued it with his whole heart no matter the cost. Had fallen for the idiot anyway, eyes wide open and fighting it every step of the way.

    And now here they were, staring at one another through air that felt charged as a thunderstorm, as though heat lightning might flash between them at any moment.

    Summary

    When ambushed by Nilfgaardian forces, Geralt finds himself rendered human. He and Jaskier immediately set out to find a witcher to help them track down the mage. All they have to do is keep Geralt alive until then. In the meantime, Geralt must learn to navigate the world as a human, complete with dull senses, weaker muscles, and oddly familiar emotions.

    Summary

    The hand gripping Geralt tightens for a fraction before their thumb starts rubbing soothing circles over his knuckles.

    “It’s okay, you’re safe now, darling,” a familiar voice filters through Geralt’s sluggish mind. It takes him a moment to realise that it’s Jaskier. Jaskier holding his hand and cooing sweet nothings, as if it will bring comfort to the injured witcher.

    “Hmm,” Geralt hears himself say. It’s nice, he thinks, being touched like this.

    Summary

    There's a routine that Geralt has established for decades, and it’s a routine only for him and Roach. So the thought of adding another variable to the equation is both baffling and unsettling. Who would willingly seek the company of a witcher, anyway?

    Destiny has not been kind to him and Geralt has already forgotten what it’s like to have a friend, to be a friend. If it will come knocking on his door, he wouldn’t know the first thing to do or say.

    So nothing prepared Geralt for Jaskier.

    Summary

    Jaskier has just turned sixty-three. It hits him about a week later that he should probably, definitely look older than he did in his twenties. Apparently, he is the only one who doesn't know why.

    Summary

    Geralt does not like being touched, except under specific circumstances. It requires a level of trust that he is simply not comfortable giving. Jaskier, though, seems determined to earn it.

    (An inversion of the touch-starved Geralt trope)

    Summary

    Jaskier wishes that his parents would have told him that he was part incubus. It doesn't change much once he finds out, but it would have been nice. The only thing made more difficult by it is his rather unfortunate attraction to one Geralt of Rivia.

    Summary

    “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."

    Summary

    Geralt has been hit with a lust curse that will kill him if it's not satisfied. What kind of companion would Jaskier be if he didn't help him out? After all, the great White Wolf simply can't die from a cursed hard-on. What kind of story would that be?

    (And if it gives Jaskier one taste of the impossible intimacy he's been dreaming of, well ... he'll keep that to himself.)

    Summary

    Geralt thinks he’s got nothing left to be scared of. He’s lived for too long, seen too much.

    And then, a certain bard enters his life.

    He makes Geralt realise he has one more fear to conquer.

    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."

    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

    There are certain things in this world Geralt knows to be true. Some, though not he, might call them rules to live by, the most important of which warns him: do not trust humans. Unfortunately for him, there is one human he can't seem to be rid of, no matter how hard he tries.

    ***

    "Geralt growled and pressed into Jaskier’s neck again, not hard enough just yet to bruise, relishing in Jaskier’s startled squeak. The lute clatters from his hand to the ground. “What are you?” he demanded again, “You follow on my heels like a lost child, bard, on foot, you don’t flinch away when I’m covered in rotting monster guts, and all this time, you’re still in one piece!”

    When Jaskier’s mouth falls open in shock, Geralt thinks, beyond reason, he’s hurt his feelings and should apologize."

    Summary

    Jaskier is throwing up flowers and refuses to tell Geralt who has afflicted him so. As Geralt grapples with Jaskier's impending death, he comes to terms with a few things himself.

    //

    “Who’s the unlucky woman?” Geralt asks, stepping into the firelight. 

    Jaskier starts, dandelions spilling from his hands. He hastily brushes them away. “Gods, Geralt, must you always sneak up on me? This is why you have an image problem, you know. Don’t get me wrong, the whole tall, dark, and murderous vibe is fantastic -- really brings out the color of your eyes -- but the skulking tips you firmly into the realm of, well, somewhat unhinged.” 

    Geralt only glares at Jaskier, waiting for him to tire himself out, and sets about roasting the fowl.

    “Anyway, killing my beloved won’t cure me,” Jaskier continues blithely, “so don’t even think about it. Not all problems can be solved by whacking away at them with those oversized butter knives you carry around.” He settles cross-legged next to the fire with his lute balanced across his knees and strums a few chords.

    Summary

    Jaskier has written a lot of ballads about some woman who has stolen his heart. The thing is, he's been on the road with Geralt for the past month. He hasn't had any time to court a woman, much less have his heart broken by her. So who is this woman? The answer may shock you.

    //

    “There’s no lady,” Geralt says.

    Jaskier trails off. “Well, of course not,” he says instead. “I imagine a woman would take grave offense to the frequency with which we give our patronage to brothels, not to mention your unseemly habit of bathing in monster blood and other revolting gunk.” He wrinkles his nose. “Perhaps I should write an ode to your masterful powers of observation next.”

    “But you were talking about a woman tonight,” Geralt continues, ignoring Jaskier entirely.
