Summary
“Don’t tell me you’ve never had an Alpha use their mouth on you.”
“Well…”
The hesitation in Jaskier’s voice draws Geralt’s attention. He snaps his gaze back to Jaskier’s face, his cheeks red with embarrassment.
Geralt blinks. “No? Really?”
Jaskier bites his lips. “Really.”
“You were married. You are with child.” Geralt huffs. “What about your husband?”
“He was not the adventurous type.”

Summary
The sea rumbles in the distance. A storm is brewing somewhere far away, Geralt can smell it.
The air is damp at the coast, salty. It cools the fabric covering Geralt’s eyes, its silky touch comforting like an anchor on a stormy night. It’s an anchor he needs, a grounding point as his body sways with the waves. He’s floating.
Or, Geralt is taken apart wearing a blindfold.

Summary
“I’m merely pointing out a fact, Jaskier, that you may not understand the matter of the heart as well as you believe.”
“Wow.” Jaskier licks the honey off his thumb. “I won’t take offense because you’re you, but let it be noted that I always know. Always! If someone is pursuing me, it will be so obvious the words might as well be written across their forehead.”
“Is it though? I reckon someone could be doing it right in your face and you wouldn’t recognize it.”
Or,
Jaskier teaches Geralt the art of courting. It’s all about paying attention to details, really, except he may be missing a few details himself.

Summary
“I think,” Sam says, placing Jaskier’s hand gently on his knee, palm up for easier access to the scar, “I wouldn’t like this friend of yours very much.”
“Well, Geralt is an acquired taste.” The cool touch of salve soothes the tingling in the tips of Jaskier’s finger. He adds, “for most people anyway. It takes a while to warm up to his grunts and hums, but you’ll see he’s quite good underneath all the coarseness—”
“No, I don’t think I will.”

Summary
“I come to this tavern every night,” Sam says, not quite letting so, and Jaskier seems just as reluctant, “and you always sing that song.”
“About the butcher, yes.” Jaskier agrees, his smile bright with performance.
But there’s something underneath it.
“About heartbreak.” The brightness splinters, just a little, so Sam adds quickly, “it takes one, I suppose.”

Summary
“Need any help?” Sam says, drawing attention to himself.
Letting out a surprised gasp, Jaskier looks up, tucking away his hair by instinct and thus smearing flour on his cheek. There’s flour all over his face actually, on the tip of his nose, tangled up in his hair, and there’s that smidge hanging on his eyebrow.
“No, sweetie. You’ve been the most wonderful host for the past few days. I promised to return the favor,” Jaskier argues. “I can do this! I can make you a bread!”

Summary
“I’m right here. You are safe. I got you out. I have you…” Geralt repeats it once again when Jaskier screams awake for the last time. Dawn is already breaking, and the faint light allows Geralt to see the bruises under cornflower blue eyes.
“I don’t want to go back to sleep,” Jaskeir croaks.
“Let’s stay awake.”
“Don’t want that either.”
Or,
When Jaskier is troubled with nightmares, Geralt tries to distract him. Luckily, the mountains of Kaer Morhen have a few more surprises for them.

Summary
Geralt sleeps deeply and peacefully, a treat that is becoming more often since their retirement to the vineyard. It’s good that he’s sleeping, Jaskier tells himself. Rest never comes easy for a witcher, but somehow, Geralt has found it in this little corner of the world, where the days are gentle and the nights are mild.
It’s good, the sight of Geralt sleeping.
And yet, Jaskier is afraid.
He’s afraid to watch Geralt sleep these days.

Summary
The dull ache returns, a quiet thing spreading from the center of the palm.
Jaskier flexes his fingers. The armrests are soft, lined with paddings, nothing like that wooden chair. There are no ropes around his wrists, no splinters digging into his thumbs.
The pain gets worse.
It’s going to rain.

Summary
“Are you saying you don’t like sharing a bed with all these darlings?” Jaskier hugs Moonlight closer, scratching behind his ear. The silver wolf closes his yellows eyes and melts into Jaskier’s touch.
“The curse meant for them to kill you,” Geralt grunts. “And I’m not sharing, am I?”
“Are you jealous?” Jaskier raises an eyebrow. “Aww, do you have a crush on me?”
“We are married, Jask.”

Summary
The cottage looks smaller once Jaskier steps into it.
Sunlight spills through the windows, the mid-day heat fading as the afternoon stretches on. The sea glimmers in the distance, its violent roaring gentled into a hum behind the glass.
This cottage is warm and loved.
Lived in.
Jaskier goes to the coast with a piece of himself missing. Geralt is there to remind him.

Summary
“… It would be to take you off my hands!”
Geralt’s voice echoes in the ballroom, between the tall walls and the high ceiling. Everyone on the dance floor has fallen into silence. Even the band has stopped playing, their lead singer gaping with round eyes.
Jaskier blinks, impressed.
Or, Jaskier and Geralt stage a fake breakup. Someone's feelings get hurt for real.

Summary
“Anyone can be heroic, given these extra strengths and giant swords,” Geralt muses to himself, not looking at Jaskier anymore. “I suppose, any bard should be drawn to a witcher because of it.”
“Allow me to disagree here,” Jaskier says. “Brute strength isn’t what makes someone a hero. Being a witcher isn’t what makes someone a protector either.”
Jaskier meets a stable hand in Posada, not a witcher. He is fascinated by Geralt anyway.

Summary
“What’s the catch, Jask?”
“Do I require a reason to dance with you? Or am I not allowed to just enjoy some quality time with my favorite witcher?”
Geralt simply lifts an eyebrow.
“All right. You are too smart for your own good.” Jaskier chews on his lips. “There is this one gentleman, who may have been too eager for my…company, despite my explaining of the situation.”
