Summary
The flawless ease with which Jaskier lands the job should be his very first clue that the whole thing is a bad fucking deal.
But, never one to look a gift paycheck in the mouth when it seems his indie music career will never take off, Jaskier signs right the fuck up when he walks in and is inexplicably offered the head bartender position at The Medallion.
Jaskier does not consider for a moment that he is actually qualified for it. Sure, he has experience, five years bartending in Oxenfurt before his recent move to Blaviken is nothing to sneeze at, but he has no actual managerial expertise.
Churning out shots, shaking mixed drinks and pulling pints at lightspeed is not something that is intimidating to Jaskier, but being expected to do so while also taking responsibility for managing the two other bartenders on staff is not Jaskier’s forte.
Still, after just over three weeks at his new job, Jaskier is cautiously optimistic that he has indeed, somehow, been able to fake it until he makes it.
That is, until the night that the pub's real owners come to visit, and Jaskier gets his first look at the Wolves who run this town.
