Summary
Jaskier has zero intention of sharing the degrading experience of getting tortured. Ever. He’ll bury the memories and someday they’ll be as scabbed over as Caingorn was.
Which had been completely, absolutely, fine. And the only reason that wound is bleeding a little now is because fucking Geralt came out of nowhere—after the most humiliating experience of his entire life—and reopened the fucking thing. But that’s fine because he’ll leave and return to the terror of his smuggling work and forget about Geralt all over again. There’s nothing hard drink and the constant danger of execution won’t get his mind off. Because there’s something therapeutic about fearing for one’s life that makes anything not of immediate concern go away.
So yes, things were just fine before Geralt showed up.
Two years post-Caingorn, Geralt rescues Jaskier from prison and sends him with Ciri to Kaer Morhen. However, Geralt suspects Jaskier is hiding serious trauma.

Summary
"You'll change your mind one day," says the innkeep. "The road can't love you back."
What a strange way to flatten something so beautiful, Jaskier thinks. What a small way to love.
Or: When Jaskier is hit with a curse that prevents him from having sex, he's lucky that the first person he meets is a Witcher. It's even luckier that Jaskier is used to hitting the road, because Geralt isn't waiting up.

Summary
A year post-dragon hunt, an already vulnerable and lonesome Jaskier is taken by the Nilfgaardian army in an effort to torture Cirilla's location out of him. His captors are people that he already knows, and that just does not make sense to him. And then, horrifyingly, it does.

Summary
(Sequel to Ruin My Life)
Papers are contracts. Stratt signs hundreds every day. Their marriage certificate was not special in that regard; just a document to legally bind them together, as Ryland had wanted.
It wasn't what he wanted though. Or, it wasn't all of it. With every day that passed that Stratt seemed no more inclined to let him past her walls than before, he came to the sinking realization that she had little intention of actually being married.
—
Here are some things that make being married to Eva Stratt exceedingly difficult:- She wants for the world, but not herself; trying to do nice things for her is like pulling teeth
- She trusts Dr. Grace with the mission, but she does not trust Ryland with her heart
- And this really should not hurt so much, because it's Stratt, but— she cares about him the way she cares about a coworker; or the way she cares about every human in the damn universe. She does not care about Ryland. Attraction does not equal affection. And with every day she does not acknowledge their marriage, it becomes clearer that towards Ryland, she feels neither.
