Summary
Jaskier, of all people, got to be loved by Geralt. And he had no idea what to do with himself any longer. Out of every person on the Continent, he got to have this. But with every blissful moment, Jaskier found himself plagued by a constant feeling of dread. Because, despite the way he felt as though the sun was somehow shining on him and him alone, there was no way he could possibly maintain this. Who was he, really, when matched with Geralt? When matched with Yennefer? He was living in a dream, and he could only wait helplessly until he had to wake up.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few months after Jaskier and Geralt's relationship turns romantic, Jaskier's long-held insecurities and self-doubt begin to bubble to the surface.Bookmarked by NickyJ

Summary
Eric Bittle, of Bitty's Bakery, is very excited to have been chosen as a contestant for the Food Network Challenge. He's even more excited to find out that he's making a cake for the NHL new-Cup winners, the Falconers.
Jack Zimmerman, of the Falconers, doesn't know anything about cake, and will be the first to tell you that he feels wholly unqualified to judge a cake-making competition. At least Alexei is there to help ease things a little. Honestly, all he's really expecting is to be very awkward on camera for the entire segment, and to eat a lot of cake that's not really in his diet plan.
That's how it starts.

Summary
Fringilla decides the best way to make a tortured Bard spill where Geralt of Rivia would take his Child of Surprise is to dive into his head and create illusions. When two bastards stumble into his cell and break him out he understandably believes that they are a figment of his imagination. He keeps his cards as close to his chest as a talkative Bard possibly could as they drag him to what they assure him is a safe place. After all, why would Julian know all that Jaskier does about Kaer Morhan?
Meeting Lambert at Rosie's Tavern at the base of the Blue Mountains he lets half of the cards tumble in the presence of the Wolf Witcher. They grow closer as the four of them trudge up the mountain and meet with the other Wolves in the keep, where he is a trusted member until three weary travelers arrive one morning and cause his cards to go flying.

Summary
Jaskier’s eyes are sliding closed. He should leave. He should know, by now, not to outstay his welcome. But Geralt’s hand has come down to rest on his forehead, a thumb stroking into his hair. And just like always, he’s too weak to resist.
Five times Jaskier didn’t have a choice about staying and one time he did.

Summary
First, Jaskier lost his witcher on that mountain top. Then Nilfgaard started the war and he lost everything else. Now he travels the Continent as a nameless, wandering, welcome bard. There is no greater power, Jaskier knows, than that of bringing light into darkness through the art of music and poetry.
It comes as a great surprise to him, then, that his presence is asked at Kaer Morhen by none other than Yennefer of Vengerberg. Although apprehensive, all hesitation melts away when he hears why they need him. Princess Cirilla seems in dire need of a bard to bring some light back into her eyes.
For that, Jaskier knows, he would even bear to live with four grumpy witchers and the Continent's most powerful mage. Oh well... He's sure this won't end well for him.
Or: Jaskier is coming to Kaer Morhen as Ciri's emotional support bard. They make an unexpected family along the path to healing.

Summary
It had brought him so much joy and relief to meet a real, honest-to-gods witcher in that shitty tavern at the edge of the world, no matter what the stories said of them being monsters. Stories are so often wrong about the truth of things—he's a bard, he knows that well enough.
But the best stories—the most believable stories—are always based on a bit of truth.
Gods, how naive he'd been.

“Sometimes,” Geralt says quietly, “I forget that you care.”

Summary
Much to his surprise, Geralt’s eyes widened more, if that were even possible, as he went nearly cross eyed trying to watch Jaskier’s hand.
“Your hand is soft,” Geralt whispered.
Jaskier laughed, running his hand across Geralt’s forehead and pushing back his hair that had come loose from its tie. “Yes it is.”
“Your hand is soft,” Geralt repeated, seemingly to himself.

"I can brush my own damn hair, bard."
Jaskier crouches into his line of view, happier than any poor music maker has a right to be.
"Or you could just sit there and rest that shoulder while I do it." The bard smiles, and something inside Geralt fractures at the sight of it.

Embers Glowing, Hearts Burning by sapphistication for lexeunmi

Summary
He stares unseeingly as his mind seems to burn itself out as much as the logs of firewood do. It’s always the embers that catch his eye, always the embers that remain inside his head. Glowing, smouldering, telling the tales of the brightest of fires, but forever in the past tense.
There are always embers in his mind. Remnants. Painful to the touch, destructive, dangerous.
---
Or: Sitting by the fire at Kaer Morhen, Jaskier's thoughts spiral out of his control. Geralt is there to remind him of the good things. Tenderness ensues.
