    Summary

    He doesn’t owe Loretta anything, not even to read this, he reminds himself; he could burn the letter and be well within his rights to do so.

    But.

    But he loved her. Loves her, still, against his better judgement, because she’s his sister and maybe that didn’t mean anything to her when she sold him to Nilfgaard but then, hadn’t she only been protecting her son? Didn’t it all come down to family no matter what?

    Summary

    “What did you give me?” he growls, burying his fear beneath a burst of anger. The room around them splinters, making gravity an uncertain principle: vertigo makes him drool and he spits, falling over, digging his fingers into the ground in a futile effort to make everything just stop spinning. “Oh fuck, wha’ ‘id you do t’me?” he slurs out past a suddenly numb tongue. The icy burn has spread out from his throat and chest to take over his whole body, sending lightning strikes of pain zinging up and down his limbs.
    “You’ll find out soon enough, I think.”


    Yennefer is healing after Sodden, trying to pull her chaos back inside herself. She doesn't actually have time to chase down wayward bards, much less take care of the child-sized version of one she's never particularly liked all that well. She really is quite tired of being forced to save this fool.

    Summary

    Geralt has never known the gods or destiny or death to be kind, to show him mercy even if he begged for it. There’s no sense in it when he already knows the answer; bind it in a book or set it to a pretty tune, no story about a witcher will ever be more than a tragedy.

    (Before he died scared and alone and half the Continent away from anyone who could save him, Jaskier spent more than twenty years making Geralt out to be the hero of his stories. It’s the least he can do, Geralt thinks, to finally fucking act like one.)

    Summary

    "Dark Fate?" says Stede, making sure to pronounce the capitals.

    "Very effective for star-crossed lovers. And at a bargain price, if I do say so myself. A potent mixture of unspeakably rare ingredients, brewed under a new moon, which will drag you through the depths of your own soul in search of difficult truths, and leave the undeserving to drift forever in a dreamscape of torment and emotional agony!"

    "What?" says Stede. "No! That sounds awful!"

    Summary

    Jaskier had opened the door, so he decided to step through. “I think it’s been proven that I do understand when it’s time to walk away.”

    Geralt was quiet for a moment longer. “What are you saying? Are you saying that you’re leaving?”

    Jaskier glanced over at him. “Yes. I just need to figure out where I’m going.”

    Geralt has memories of taking shelter in this cave before. Jaskier apparently does, too.

    Summary

    They’ve all changed since the mountain, Geralt more than most, but he’s known Jaskier since he was a teenager and there’s been more change in him this last year than the nineteen previous. 

    Whatever happened, whatever is happening still, Geralt needs to know. For Ciri and his brothers, but for Jaskier too. A year is a long time for a human, and if he’s in some kind of trouble, it’s Geralt’s job to get him out of it. 

    Call it instinct. Call it paranoia. But he’s paying attention now, and Jaskier won’t be able to keep his secrets for long.

    Summary

    The monsters win, and the man who is supposed to help mother slay them turns out to be the biggest monster of all.

    Ten years later, a Witcher lurks in the dark corner of a shitty tavern, a stolen broach dangling from the hilt of his sword like a trophy.

    Ten years later, Julian still remembers everything he’s been taught. By mother, by the men in his family, and especially by monsters.

    “You must have some review for me,” he says, a gleaming smile one that’s been sharpened to perfection with years of tutelage. “Three words or less.”

    ---------------

    Jaskier is Renfri's son, and ten years is plenty of time to prepare a suitable punishment for the Butcher of Blaviken.

    “This is a new horse,” Jaskier says uncertainly.

    “Hm,” Geralt grunts, which Jaskier probably should have expected.

    Summary

    As if being stuck waiting for her supplier in this sorry excuse for a town full of narrow-minded, superstitious simpletons isn't already frustrating enough, the first familiar face Yennefer spots when she walks into the grubby tavern is that of her least favourite bard.

    Or, alternatively; sometimes you misjudge people, but there's nothing some badassery and booze won't fix.

    Summary

    It has been one year since the battle at Kaer Mohren.

    Jaskier's travels have taken him all over the Continent, and he writes to share a festival and party with Ciri, Yennefer, and Geralt. Far off place, promises to be the safest place on the Continent for them to come, get away from it all for a little while. Can't be any trouble in sight, Jaskier promises.

    Of course, Jaskier has a secret motive for this seemingly harmless trip. Can Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri get him out of trouble once he's got himself into it?

    Summary

    When he is four, Jaskier escapes out his window to avoid a boring family dinner where his cousin was getting betrothed to someone. He just wanted to hear the frogs. Frogs sound neat.

    That daring escape, and the rescue that it required changed his whole fate, because he was the one who ended up betrothed to a witcher - the plan to marry when he was 20. He didn't really care he got to hear the frogs croak, what did he care about this Geralt of Rivia?

    As he grows up though, he ends up caring a great deal.

    Scenes from Jaskier's life of meeting every witcher but his betrothed, until one day in a shitty tavern, he finally meets Geralt.

    Summary

    In this world, Geralt never met Jaskier until well after he was responsible for Ciri. Without the humanizing influence of the human, he is not the man he could be. On the path Geralt enters a Gwent tournament and finds himself with the prize of a cursed bard, whom he quite literally cannot get away from. He is determined to break the curse and rid himself of the annoyance, and continue on his loner and stoic ways.

    Jaskier and fate of course have very different plans.

    Geralt finds it advantageous to be in the company of a bard. The advantage Jaskier enjoys is, perhaps, more subtle.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of being tortured for talking too much, Jaskier can't bring himself to speak. Geralt sympathizes with the bard, after all there was a reason he was so taciturn himself. Questions were not so much encouraged at Kaer Morhen. And for a lot of his life he'd always figured that is how you train a boy or an animal: hit it when it doesn't do what you want. After all, that was how he ended up as good at monster slaying as he was. But when it actually came down to it, that wasn't how he trained Roach. And negative reinforcement implies, at least etymologically, the existence of an opposite.
