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
Jaskier is finally free. After so long trapped in a form not his own he had begun to doubt which was his true self. But here he is, unshackled. The betrayals, violence, abandonment- the destruction his family wrought upon themselves and others, all of it left far behind. Jaskier is determined to enjoy this second chance. To bask in the beauty of life and ignore what horrors linger. Then he meets Geralt and things become complicated.

“They don’t exist.”
“Pardon?” The bard’s brown hair flops as he tilts his head.
Geralt bravely doesn’t sigh again. “The monsters in your songs. They don’t exist.”
For some reason that gets him a grin, “How do you know?”
Geralt stares at him.
“I’m a Witcher.”
The bard laughs, “So just because you’ve never seen them that means they don’t exist?”
“Yes.” Geralt says flatly.
“Agree to disagree.” The man says flippantly, “But I would love to hear more about the monsters you’ve fought.”
“No.” Geralt takes a drink desperately and finds he is almost at the bottom of his tankard. He contemplates whether it’s worth the coin for another. Probably not.

Summary
When Jaskier is young, he is sold to a slaver to solve his parents' problems with money.
He ends up at the royal court of Tretogor, a gold-collared bedslave, reserved for the royal line. Unlike the others, Jaskier doesn't settle into his fate, but rebels in what little ways he can.
It's no wonder then, that when the warlord of the north visits Tretogor for negotiations, Jaskier finds himself in the middle of it all.---000---
His mother's face is sad, and Julian wishes more than anything he could change that. She tucks a lock of his soft brown hair behind his ear.
“Remember how you said you wanted to help?”
Julian nods.
“There’s someone who… is coming to take a look at you. If you do well, we’ll get enough to pay the rent that’s still due. If we’re very lucky, we’ll get enough to buy back the farm.”
“What do I have to do?” Julian asks.
A tear tracks down his mother’s cheek. -

Summary
Hundreds of years ago, the Conjunction of the Spheres combined many worlds into one. Where once there was modern technology across the land, now there were wide expanses of magic and monsters winding in between which came to be known as the Wood.
Jaskier was born in Lettenhove, one of the last Modern Cities left. He'd only crossed the border once as a child, but he knew his destiny lay in the Old Cities. He was meant to be a troubadour and a poet, a singer of renown.
But nobody went into the Wood without an armed escort. Or maybe a Witcher, if you believed the stories. Jaskier couldn't afford to travel with a caravan and nobody had seen a Witcher in decades, so he goes on his own and is surprised to run into a cat eyed legend his first day. Despite the man trying to get rid of him almost immediately, their paths soon cross again and Geralt becomes Jaskier's reluctant bodyguard. It doesn't take Jaskier long to realize that he doesn't know himself as well as he thought, and his music quickly develops from a hobby turned profession into an unexpected talent.
If only he knew how to use it.AU with modern technology- takes place mostly in canon fantasy setting.

Summary
His- his pants? Jaskier hadn’t even struck his assailant, he’d just gotten his clothing?
“You smelled him the same as I did, he was terrified. I can’t blame him either,” the other one, Geralt, commented.
“I can. I can and I will. I’ll blame every fucking noble if they’ve so much as fucking touched Eskel.”Is a kidnapping a kidnapping if it’s getting an Omega away from shity parents and an arranged marriage?
I mean, obviously it is, and they deal with it, but this whole thing is self indulgent, so feel free to join the ride :)Series
