    Summary

    “Sing.” The god commanded. And Jaskier obliged.

    The words tasted of spring, of the lambs he would lead up the hillside at the turn of the seasons, singing sweetly to them in the watery sunlight. They tasted of the harvest, when autumn sank in rich hues across the valley and bellies were full for the first time all year. They tasted out of place, being sung to a god cold and cruel as winter, in a land of mist and darkness.

    In the silence that followed, Jaskier strained to hear the god’s movements. But the White Wolf had disappeared from view, and his weak mortal ears heard not a trace, until the god’s voice thundered through the forest.

    “Your tribute is worthy, mortals. I will claim him as mine.”

    Without warning, the god appeared before him. He seized Jaskier in a tight embrace, pressing their lips together.

    Summary

    Unexpected side effect of Jaskier praising witchers far and wide: children making the logical jump that witchers can handle ALL monsters. Including such subspecies as the under-the-bed variety.

    And, well, what are you supposed to say to a child who asks you to fight a monster for them?

    (Note: Chapter 5 is the reason for the M rating. All other chapters are T for language.)

    Summary

    It is no secret to the men and women of the continent that Geralt of Rivia is one fine piece of ass.

    Most days Jaskier has to fight to keep from swooning at the very sight of his friend-- and he’s not alone in this predicament. He catches men and women in every town that they come across ogling Geralt in one way or another. Yes, Geralt’s attractiveness is blatantly, painfully, beautifully obvious to everyone with eyes.

    Everyone that is, but Geralt himself.

    Summary

    “Oh. Oh that’s gold, Geralt! Really! I’m so glad you didn’t notice my bandaged fingers or the way fire fucking petrifies me- or oh, I don’t know, how holding shit made me whimper? But oh, I sorted your library and I cleaned the blood off the cobble after it all and- and I’m tired of this. I’m tired of your fucking bullshit and I’m tired of-“

    “I’m sorry.”

    The sincerity of that has Jaskier silent. It has him tense, it has him weak- really and truly weak. He wants to cry. He might cry, actually- especially when he met Geralt’s gaze and he sees tears in those cat-like eyes and he’s never wanted to reach out and wipe them away faster than he does now

    ———

    Jaskier leaves with the help of a portal. Finding himself on the mountain he eats some berries. Barely surviving he now has to deal with emotions. God he hates dealing with emotions.
