    Summary

    Jaskier is finally free. After so long trapped in a form not his own he had begun to doubt which was his true self. But here he is, unshackled. The betrayals, violence, abandonment- the destruction his family wrought upon themselves and others, all of it left far behind. Jaskier is determined to enjoy this second chance. To bask in the beauty of life and ignore what horrors linger. Then he meets Geralt and things become complicated.

    .........................................................

    “They don’t exist.”

    “Pardon?” The bard’s brown hair flops as he tilts his head.

    Geralt bravely doesn’t sigh again. “The monsters in your songs. They don’t exist.”

    For some reason that gets him a grin, “How do you know?”

    Geralt stares at him.

    “I’m a Witcher.”

    The bard laughs, “So just because you’ve never seen them that means they don’t exist?”

    “Yes.” Geralt says flatly.

    “Agree to disagree.” The man says flippantly, “But I would love to hear more about the monsters you’ve fought.”

    “No.” Geralt takes a drink desperately and finds he is almost at the bottom of his tankard. He contemplates whether it’s worth the coin for another. Probably not.

    Summary

    “Witcher, may I offer you, along with your coin, a night in our finest brothel?”

    Geralt narrows his eyes, hums, says, “Fine with just the coin.”

    “I promise you would not be disappointed. You’d have all the amenities. A bath, food, lodgings for the evening. And of course the company of whichever individual you might desire.”

    Geralt almost says no. It would be so much effort, to go to the brothel, to have someone picked out for him, to do the song and dance of what everyone always expects from him. But the free food and bath is enticing, and he’d be a fucking idiot to turn down a free fuck. “Sure,” he mutters. “So long as it’s free.”

    Summary

    It’s just fucking. No kisses, no sweet nothings, no weakness. Just the scratching of an itch. Geralt can’t afford to think it could be anything else.

    It’s just fucking. No emotions, no softness, definitely no chance of Jaskier being on top - Geralt nearly bit his hand off at the thought. But it hurts, to know how Geralt thinks of those who bend over for other men, and it hurts almost as much to know that he won’t ever get to treat Geralt how the noble witcher deserves to be treated.

    It’s just fucking. Except it’s not.

    Summary

    "There is no town called Lettenhove," Ciri said.

    "It's small," Jaskier said.

    "If it's big enough to have a viscount, I would have learned about it in my political studies. I was engaged to the prince of Redania for a few months; I was instructed on every noble family in the land. There is no Viscount de Lettenhove."

    Yennefer and Geralt's expressions shifted, the mirth dropping.

    Summary

    Jaskier has been in hiding for a good part of a quarter-century. Inspiration running thin, and Sandpiping taking up most of his energy, he meets up with an old associate who's offering him a job. Now he'll need to make up with his chaos if he wants to unearth both Dijkstra and his associate's true motivations. He surely does not count on Yennefer stumbling into his mess though. Oh well, once in Oxenfurt... You know how the saying goes.

    Or: Jaskier has done some pretty nasty stuff in the past as a mage and that past might end up being more a blessing than a curse. But only time will show.
