Summary
Jaskier's life gets turned upside down when he finds a strange portal on his college campus. After walking through it, he finds himself stranded in a strange place without his phone or any way to get back... and runs into Geralt of Rivia.
Problem is, neither of them speak the same language, and Geralt suspects Jaskier might be a spy sent to hurt Ciri.
Whump focused, canon divergent. Semi-edited. No beta.
Also, Jaskier is trans. Content warning for anxiety/panic attacks, internal transphobia, violence, and injuries.
I have a general outline for how the plot goes but as of posting this is not yet finished. No ETA on updates, I have ADHD and lose track of time.
Updated content warning as of chapter 34: Graphic violence, language, suicidal intent and actions, abusive language, and depictions of mental health deterioration. Please read the tags.

Summary
Jaskier knows that he's being hunted. He knows, eventually, he will be captured. He knows too much about Geralt-- about Witchers in general-- to get caught without proper preparation. So he sets out, looking for Witchers to entrust with the things he values most. The things he can't let Nilfgaard get their hands on.
It's in his nature to play tricks, to steal. And stealing from the White Flame is fun. Until his mind slowly decends into madness.

“What’s that?” Geralt asks.
Jaskier blinks. “It’s a tattoo,” he says. “Have you never seen a tattoo before, Geralt?”
Geralt fights the urge to roll his eyes. “I know it’s a tattoo,” he says. “What’s it a tattoo of?”

Summary
Jaskier is the fourth son of the minor noble house of Pankratz. He has always wanted to leave Lettenhove to explore, but is limited by the expectations that come with his station. When his parents betroth him to a Duke, he thinks it might be his chance to see the world, and let the world see him, and hear his music.
He sets out on a sea voyage to meet his new husband, but before he ever arrives, the vessel is set upon by pirates. Captain Rience has reasons to leave Jaskier as the sole survivor, and none of them are good.
The thing Rience has forgotten, the only thing pirates have to fear on the high seas.....are other pirates.

On the eight day they had turned away from the coast, making their way into open sea to cut days off their journey. The shortcut across the open waters should have been straightforward.
It should have been safe.Series

Summary
“You saved my life, oh mighty Witcher. I have basically no choice but to follow you.”
***
Under mysterious circumstances, Jaskier gets blessed with magic. When Geralt saves Jaskier's life, he is forced to fulfil three wishes for the Witcher. It's more complicated than Jaskier imagined. Mostly because Geralt insists he doesn't want anything from life.
A Djinn!Jaskier AU with copious amounts of angst. And self-drawn art.
Alternative summary from Alex_Storm: "Poor Jaskier, cursed to live and to follow and stuck with all this magic devotion to a man who’s sworn to kill creatures like him!"

Summary
When Jaskier is abducted from the merchant vessel he'd chartered to take him to his first semester at Oxenfurt Academy, taken by pirates of the cruelest nature, he was sure things couldn't possibly get any worse.
Three and a half months later, when he's abducted from that pirate ship by another group of pirates, he realizes just how wrong he was about things not being able to get worse.
Because these second pirates are witchers—part of the notoriously deadly crew led by the Butcher of Blaviken.But witchers or not, Jaskier is determined to survive. He's destined for a future as a Bard of incredible fame and renown, after all. No matter what new horrors they throw at him, he won't go down easy.

I was inspired by The Wild Waves, by phiaura.
I was like, hot damn I love this story. And then I got inspired to do something similar, but with more angst, and things just kinda spiraled from there.Bookmarked by Pie_fiction
