    Summary

    When Jaskier finally has no more delays as an excuse, he swaggers over and drapes himself over the bench opposite the witcher, taking a long swig of his drink and studying the man across from him over the rim. The cider is almost painfully bad, acidic and aggressively alcoholic. Still, he appreciates it for the distraction it is from everything he’s trying very hard not to feel. He tries to look at the witcher with a stranger’s eyes, wondering if he would still love him despite all of the pain if he’d never known about the beautiful heart behind that handsome face.

    Annoyingly, the answer is “yeah, probably.”

    Surprisingly, Geralt speaks first.

    “Jaskier, listen, I want to-”

    “Sorry,” Jaskier interrupts, summoning all of the arrogance an upbringing like his can instill, “have we met before?” As approaches go, it’s fairly juvenile, but from Jaskier’s experience, there are few barbs more cutting than being forgotten entirely. He doubts Geralt will actually entertain the bit for any length of time, but it’s deeply satisfying to say.

     

    (being the petty bitch he is, jaskier pretends not to know geralt) (is it really HIS fault if geralt believes him??)

    Summary

    The start of Jaskier's winter position at court is celebrated with a grand ball dedicated the artists brought in for the winter. But not all goes as planned when another guest recognizes him. Backed against the wall and faced with the threat of marriage, he spits out the first lie to comes to his mind and claims he is already married - to Geralt, of all people. To his immense surprise, Geralt goes along with it. In doing so, he commits to spending the winter by Jaskier's side and playing the doting husband. It's fortunate he does, because court seems more dangerous than Jaskier remembered. Monsters lurk in the corners and danger lurks behind every door. Without Geralt there, he might have been frightened. With Geralt, he's more concerned by his own growing feelings for the witcher. Can he get through the winter without Geralt catching on?

    Summary

    The shove comes to his chest hard, the force of a Witcher who does not know nor care the limitations of the human ribcage behind it.
    The words land harder.
    “Just one big, happy family, eh?”
    “No.”

    Summary

    Recovery.
    Resilience.
    Revenge.

    Leaving Kaer Morhen after four months of recovery with the witchers is an imposing step for Jaskier, still traumatised by six years of slavery at the hands of bandits. It was easy to say he’d follow Geralt when they were in the safety of Kaer Morhen, but as they travel the path old memories and living nightmares plague his steps.

    You’ll need to read A Fox Treads Silently (part 1 of the series) first.

    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.
