Summary
The plan is this:
He will note all the things that annoy Geralt, and he will stop doing them, and then Geralt will want him around.
It will work. It has to work, because Jaskier cannot be left behind.

Summary
“Don’t be mad, but I made some changes. I think your story is happier than you give it credit for,” Essi says, stealing his knife to steal some more, dipping it into the jar of jam and licking it off, like a child.
“What do you mean?” Jaskier asks, taking the knife back and repeating the action for himself. He’s not sure what’s so happy about his constant longing for Geralt. Sure, loving Geralt is one of the best choices he’s made, but sometimes… sometimes it’s hard to love alone.
“I’ll show you tonight."Or, Jaskier wrote a poem, Essi makes it into a song, and Geralt isn't supposed to hear it. A love story.

Summary
Buck lost count of the nightmares.
Everytime he closed his eyes, Buck saw Bobby. The captain he admired, the mentor who taught him so much, and the father he loved, Buck kept seeing him. Trapped on the other side of bullet-proof tampered glass, blood dripping from his nose across his graying skin. The pained expression in his watering eyes.
"I love you, kid."
Buck hadn't said it back. And now, he stood in the L.A. Hospital with his team, begging Steve McGarrett to tell him what in the hell was going on.
"Steve," Buck repeated, desperate. "Why are you here?"
Steve pursed his lips, nodded a few times, and then let out a deep breath and looked Buck straight in the eyes.
"Because when I discover one of the victims of abuse and unlawful science experimentation in a ring of underground labs is the captain of one of my guys, I think I owe it to him to bring him home."
OR: Bobby's been trapped in an underground lab for a year. He makes it home to his son.

Summary
“He’s not,” Christopher interrupted after he swallowed, his eyebrows furrowed, “that’s not- no. Bucks not my uncle.”
His abuela waved a dismissive hand, “Oh, of course not, I know that. Isn’t that a thing you young ones do? Refer to your parents' close friends as aunts or uncles?”
And here’s the thing, yes. He refers to Hen and Karen as his aunties. He’s never blinked at that. He routinely tells people that he and Denny are basically cousins.
Sure, he even calls Maddie and Chim his aunt and uncle without a second thought, but that’s because - well, that’s because..
“He’s not my uncle,” Christopher repeated, “He’s my other dad.”
••
OR Five times Christopher Diaz sets the record straight on who Buck is to him and the one time he makes sure Buck knows it too.
(and a buddie confession just for funsies)

Summary
So. Here are the facts as you see them.
Fact number one: Giulia is going to be on the train for Genova in two days. She's going back home--because Genova is her home, apparently, and you're still grappling with the idea that there are places outside your island and Portorosso, BIG ones, they keep telling you, all over the globe--where she'll spend the next nine or so months going to school.
Fact number two: You and Luca now own your very own Vespa. It's not road-ready yet, and it might not be for a while, which is fine actually because it turns out now that the Paguros aren't going to send Luca away to the bottom of the ocean, you're going to have to whittle them down into giving him permission to run away with you.
Fact number three: That's not even really a plan that makes sense, if you think about it for more than a few minutes at a time.
Fact number four: You haven't forgotten that Luca doesn't actually want to run away with you anymore. He's just pretending he never said it.

Summary
“Please don’t do this, Yennefer.” She leans back.
“Do what?”
Jaskier swallows hard, bringing one knee up and pressing his forehead to it, his arms wrapped loosely around his leg. His voice, when he finally speaks, is soft, pain clear in his tone.
“Don’t give me hope.” He tells her, swallowing hard after he says it. “I can’t do it again.” He turns his head to look at her from beneath his fringe. “I spent decades hoping, Yennefer. And it got me fuck all besides the dressing down of my life on top of that fucking mountain and a fun little session of torture later.”
(Jaskier hoped that he could have more with Geralt once, and all it had gotten him was abandoned on a mountain. He won’t make the same mistake twice.)

Summary
“You can’t….” Aiden gritted his jaw and looked away from him when honeyed eyes shifted towards the source of the sound. “You can’t keep doing this.”
“Doing what?” Geralt sighed, scrubbing a hand over his face and wincing at the sensation of dried blood flaking away. He must have missed it in the cursory scrub he’d attempted to clean off the evidence of the brief skirmish.
“Acting like your death won’t be devastating.” A deep breath. “Acting like Jaskier would want you to do this.”

Summary
Jaskier was half way through a lackluster rendition of one of his least popular songs when his world went static.
In his ears, a foreign heartbeat thundered, ragged and wounded. It felt as though his lungs had gone sideways with the sensation. Even the air itself tasted like it was charged with lightning, bright and bitter as ozone. Deep in his gut, he felt something urging himself forward, pulling him like some invisible string towards an unknown destination.
Something brushed across his senses, rough as tree bark, and sinking into his skin to crawl like ants beneath. He froze, eyes darting around the room like he could spot whoever it was that had sent his senses scrambling against the hard earned shields he was always careful to maintain. In his hands, his fingers faltered, melody disappearing beneath the wave of wrong that felt like it was choking him.
The answer was simple--and impossible.
There was a Sentinel here.

misdemeanors and other forms of affection by PenAndInkPrincess

Summary
“These are mine.”
Jaskier looks up at the sound of Geralt’s voice, blinking in surprise. The witcher’s tone is even, and his face unexpressive, but Jaskier still tries to read into the words. Geralt is holding a palmful of wrapped sweets in his hand, and a quick glance reveals them to be lemon candies, which Jaskier loves.
And which Geralt hates.
He frowns, confused.
“You don’t even like those,” he feels compelled to announce. His own lingering guilt and fear of being a burden after stealing Geralt’s dagger aside, it makes no sense why Geralt would suddenly decide to forbid candies he doesn’t even like when he’s never denied Jaskier things before. They’ve been to three other towns since then, and he hasn’t brought it up. Jaskier’s avoided any Mischief to avoid creating any problems since then, so it’s not as if he’s given him a pressing reason to suddenly feel the need to scold him.
“They’re mine,” Geralt continues, splitting them between both hands and tucking them into his pockets on either side. “So don’t steal them.”
(Jaskier is part fae and thus has a biological imperative for Mischief) (Geralt proves unexpectedly supportive about this)

Summary
It just kind of bugs Archer. Beau is so casual with it, too. “Hurry up, princess,” when Archer was taking too long to set up his add-ons for their next battle. “Let’s do that, princess,” when Archer suggested a strategy for a battle or a mission. Or even, “Missed me, princess?” when Archer commented that it had been a while since they’d done a proper session together.
Maybe Beau is just a ridiculous person who calls his friends random shit all the time. Archer wouldn’t mind that, but the part that he does mind, is that he likes being called ‘princess’. He actually enjoys it. It makes him feel warm and cared for, which is fucking ridiculous, because Beau is just his buddy who he plays an online roleplaying game with.

Summary
“Geralt, please, I... can... let me explain, please...” Jaskier’s voice wavers and he takes another step back. Geralt strengthens his grip on the blood-soaked sword still in his hand and glares at Jaskier. At who he thought was Jaskier but is clearly something else.
“What have you done with Jaskier?” His voice comes out as a savage snarl, his teeth clenched together, every muscle in his body tense like he’s a string pulled tight, ready to snap even at the smallest sign.
“I am Jaskier. Geralt, please, you have to believe me...!” Jaskier’s voice hitches as Geralt takes a step closer stalking towards the bard in slow steady steps careful not to startle the bard before he’s close enough to strike.
“Where’s the real Jaskier?”

Summary
“It’s time for me to get off this mountain, Geralt.”
Jaskier adjusted his trousers, rebuttoned up his shirt. But when he tried to walk away, Geralt grabbed his arm.
“Jaskier, you can’t just leave. It’s nightfall - the nearest town is days away. It’s too dangerous.”
“It was a metaphor, Geralt,” Jaskier snapped back, “but now that you’ve mentioned it, I think I will leave. It’s not like you actually give a shit.”
“If I didn’t care, I would never have let you follow me in the first place.”
Jaskier scoffed, pulling his arm out of his grip. “If you really care, then prove it. Come down the mountain with me, right now. I’m not fucking staying here a minute longer.”
“You’re being ridiculous, I can’t just abandon the group- “
“You mean abandon Yennefer.”
Geralt shook his head, “Jaskier, you’re acting childish!”
“Okay,” Jaskier nodded his head once, “I guess that’s my answer.”

Summary
After the mountain, after he walks away, Geralt buys a little red journal on a whim. What starts as a place to dump his turmoiled thoughts turns into a daily habit of writing about his hunts, his life. But when he finally faces the fact that it's Jaskier he's been writing to all this time, what other realizations will it inspire? And is it too late to matter?
* * *
Fuck you, Jaskier.
Maybe that wasn’t the best place to start ...

Summary
“Are you alright?” Jaskier asks. He’s been dragged outside again during the middle of one of his sets. That’s fine. He was almost expecting it. Geralt has become a little bit predictable, and a bad mood usually means he’ll want a quick pick me up at some point.
“I will be in a moment,” Geralt growls, and he pushes Jaskier up against the wall.
And it's fine. Normal. New normal. Jaskier goes and he goes happily and willingly. But there’s something that is tugging on his mind, something that aches.
He doesn’t put his finger on it until afterwards. “You really will have to start being more patient. I do need to make a living – and you dragging me away in the middle of my songs all the time is bad for business.”
Geralt gives a chuckle, “you’re saving money on the whorehouses, are you not?”
And oh.
Geralt is using him for sex.
-///-
Or, Jaskier and Geralt start having regular sex. Jaskier thinks it doesn't mean as much to Geralt as it does to him. He's wrong.
