Must Brave the Thorns by inexplicifics

Summary
Twenty years ago, the Warlord of the North came down out of the mountains and slew the king of Kaedwen, taking crown and kingdom for his own. Everyone expected him to be overthrown almost immediately, but he has only grown ever more secure in his position. Finally, the other countries around Kaedwen have begun to negotiate with him as they would any other king.
To seal the new treaty between Redania and the Warlord, Lady Milena de Roggeven, third daughter of the Duke of Roggeven, has been sent to marry whichever of the Warlord’s men he chooses.
Milena is starkly terrified of everything about her new husband; every rumor she has ever heard about the barbarians of the north seems worse than the last, and Lambert clearly despises the very thought of marriage.
Lambert of the Wolves is still grieving his lost lover, dead more than three years now. The last thing he wants is to be married off to a terrified stranger, and he can’t imagine why Geralt and Eskel think he of all people is suited to a diplomatic marriage.
And neither of them suspects the treachery that lies behind the treaty which binds them together.

Summary
Somewhere, deep in a forest, a man drags himself from his grave by sheer power of will. He lies gasping on the forest floor and does not know who or what he is. The world is wide and wonderful, though, and there is so much to see.

Or, Jaskier is so stubborn that he literally comes back from the dead.

Of Beggars and Choices by BraveLittleNippa for inexplicifics
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types
14 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Lambert still keeps half an eye on the high table as the servants come with another round of decorative pitchers. Nothing smells like poison, and the Duke and Duchess seem to be on their very best behaviour, even if they look like they bit into horseshit.
It seems Milena's parents really only wanted to see their smallest daughter.
Or:
The Roggevens are up to no good again. Lambert is caught up in the middle of it. Or… is it Milena who’s caught up in the middle of it? It’s up to your choices what kind of night they’ll end up having.

Summary
“Don’t look,” Essi says, “But there’s a man three booths behind us. He’s been following us for quite some time now.”
Jaskier can’t help himself and looks. Their shadow is partly covered by other market goers but the bard spots flaming red curls and arms big enough that he could be a blacksmith. He wears armor, so he’s probably a mercenary, selling his sword.In which Jaskier meets the witcher family, has some family problems of his own, and Geralt is idiotically unaware.

Summary
"My name was Julian Alfred Pankratz. I was the Viscount's youngest son."
Like he hoped, the Warlord hones in on one thing. "Was."
"Pretty sure getting arrested for treason against Emhyr var Emeris, the mighty White Flame is enough to get me officially disinherited. Especially considering my parents turned me in themselves."
Jaskier saves the Warlord's daughter. Despite his family ties, he's allowed to stay in Kaer Morhen while he recovers from his injuries. Eventually, it becomes home.

Summary
“I’m a bard, Geralt,” Jaskier says, like that explains everything. “To a lot of people, there’s a very fine line between a musician and a whore. A line that’s so fine that, in fact, it doesn’t really exist."
Geralt learns that Jaskier's life can be just as painful as his, sometimes.

Summary
Jaskier's been a ruined omega for six years now. He's been bought by more alphas than he cares to count, and sold on again; he knows how this works.
Being bought by a witcher is a new level of terror...and then it turns out it's not just one witcher, but three. Jaskier is fairly sure he's going to die.
And then it turns out that witchers really don't act much like human alphas at all.

Summary
The way Jaskier sees it, his hobby of following a witcher around was always pretty likely to get him killed.
The fact that it's happening now because the witcher in question doesn't love him, he thinks as he coughs up crumpled flowers, hardly makes a difference.

Summary
Eskel likes poetry, and it it makes Geralt sick that that's the only reason he knows his long time friend has died.
When Eskel shows Geralt a book that says Jaskier died, Geralt travels to Novigrad to pay his respects. He finds the bard very much alive, very much unapproachable, and very much drunk. Or is that himself? Jaskier, however, isn't going to let Geralt hide their reunion at the bottom of a bottle.

Summary
Jaskier watched him from across the fire licking at the sky.
Geralt watched him in return - watched clever fingers pluck at the strings of the guitar.
“Why’re you followin’ me?” He asked, and Jaskier grinned crookedly.
“Because you’re brimming with soul.” Jaskier answered, and Geralt was reminded viscerally of the first day they had traveled together - the way the moonlight had bounced off Jaskier’s features, the way he’d seemed otherworldly.
“I ain’t got one of those.” Geralt said with a roll of his shoulders.

pelt stewardship, and other signs of devotion by PenAndInkPrincess
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, The Witcher (TV)
21 May 2022
Tags
Summary
It’s hard, at times, to keep playing at ignorance when the intrepid little moron dumps out the entire bundle of his sleek, downy-soft pelt in search of a new quill, but if he isn’t going to bring it up, Geralt’s certainly not going to pry, even though he does have to prompt the bard surreptitiously more than a few times when the flighty little pest evidently forgets all about his pelt and moves to happily trot along on his way, his freedom left behind in the dust. It’s a fine line Geralt walks, playing dumb while hyper-aware of the situation, but he manages to hold his peace and remain silent even when he wants to scold the selkie to be fucking careful. The bard babbles along at length throughout the day enough without prompting; gods forfend Geralt give him any sign of encouragement for more.
Still, despite Geralt’s best efforts, he finds that the selkie–who has chosen Jaskier as his name of all things–is growing on him.
It is, in a few words, fucking obnoxious.
(Jaskier is a selkie who is absolutely HORRIFIC at keeping up with his pelt) (lucky, then, that he has a witcher to do it for him)
