    Summary

    THE SECOND ACT is the second part of my kinda-canonical BG3 retelling following the group's adventure into the Shadow-Cursed Lands. The Second Act is story-driven and angsty, with healthy doses of comedy and silly camp dynamics. Point of view is half and half between Tav and Gale, with plenty of attention paid to non-ship characters and their interconnecting dynamics. In this house we love a tender, platonic friendship and an ensemble cast.

    Tags updated alongside chapters. Because I mostly keep to major game events, you do not ~have~ to read The First Act to read The Second, but it's worth noting that the most non-canonical material in the fic involves the romance between Gale and Tav, and I did work very hard on it, so consider checking it out sometime! ;)

    Updates once or twice a week.

    Summary

    His ears stayed covered, glamoured to have a rounded arch – a human arch – for most of his life. That was one thing he could hide. Other things were more complicated.

    Then Jaskier arrived at the conclusion that Geralt of Rivia was either very bad at acknowledging the passing of time, or he knew what Jaskier was, and made no mention of it.

    And Jaskier, knowing Geralt for as long as he has, he’s absolutely convinced that it’s the former.

    Summary

    “Bard wandered right through the next town over,” a farmer says, scratching a patchy beard. "You know what folk are like over there. They don’t particularly like Witchers. Hate them, in fact.”

    Geralt turns his head. The group hasn’t seen him. He made sure to pick a booth in the darkest and furthest corner in the tavern, content to just drink until the sun went down; and then he could get some sleep.

    But now, ale and sleep are the last things on his mind.

    “They’ve been trying to get their hands on a Witcher for years,” another farmer joins in, picking at some leftover food on his plate.

    The first man shrugs, lifting his tankard to his mouth. “If you can’t go about killing an actual Witcher, do the next best thing: kill it’s bed-warmer.”

    Summary

    There was a flicker of movement at his side and he felt something slam into his unprotected flank.  Magic blew past him, ruffling his hair but leaving him unharmed. Surprised by the sudden attack, Geralt stumbled and whirled to face whoever had hit him.  

     

    Only instead of a beast, he saw a bard.

     

    Jaskier clutched at his chest where a dark stain seemed to spread over his heart.  His bright eyes stared at Geralt helplessly, mouth opening and closing without sound.  Geralt stared back at him in shock until Jaskier dropped heavily to his knees, collapsing like a puppet with his strings cut.
    ___________

    In the midst of a battle, Jaskier is hit with an unknown curse. All at once Geralt finds himself locked in battle with the only man he wants to protect.
