    Summary

    The Witcher Warlord of the North is feared by all. When Jaskier is caught up in a plot to murder the Warlord, he assumes that means he will die. And while his life as a disowned, wandering bard does end, it doesn't happen at all in the way that Jaskier thinks.

    Summary

    “White Wolf,” the man rasped as the Witchers stopped just before the table, “I have come to re-” he broke off in a cough, a painful sound that had Triss already out of her seat, hesitating just to the side of the man, ready to help when permitted. “To request asylum,” he continued, pushing off from the guards helping him and sinking to his knees, though whether in submission or pain, Geralt couldn’t be sure. “My name is Julian Alfred Pankratz,” he continued haltingly, struggling to get the words out, “I request sanctuary from Redania and Nilfgaard…” he stopped talking, swaying where he knelt, and Geralt hastily glanced to Eskel for advice.

    Or: Geralt's the Warlord, and some random noble (Jaskier) comes walking in, badly injured, before collapsing in the main hall and leaving a FUCK ton of questions in his wake.

    Summary

    While the Witchers wintered at Kaer Mohren, Kaedwen rotted below them. One casualty of that rot was the voice of a bard, taken by a sorceress in the court of a monstrous king and suddenly the Wolves can no longer justify holding themselves apart from politics. Can they break the curse, and if they do, what else might they gain along the way?

    Summary

    Geralt isn’t sure if it’s a blessing or a curse that their table is tucked away in the corner, where Jaskier can neither see them nor come close enough that he might. As much as he knows that he needs to talk to the bard, apologize for all that he’s said… he can’t help but treasure this moment of Jaskier’s happiness, the joy that he radiates while performing that would surely shatter as soon as he saw the Witcher.

    Even if it’s still Geralt he sings of.

    Summary

    Jaskier settled on the coast a year after Geralt broke his heart, content to wallow in his own misery. The world had turned bleak and barren, and he was truly alone for the first time in decades. Of course, disaster would befall him, the bard couldn't help but stumble into trouble like a newborn fawn.
    With a terrifying creature hot on his heels, he hires a witcher to keep him safe. Soon, the two learn how to navigate Jaskier's heart ache and a continent thrown into the horrors of war.
    Geralt regretted what transpired on the mountain the moment the bard had disappeared. With nothing left, he followed destiny's hand without complaint, sure that Jaskier would never want to see him again. But, with the aid of a very frustrated witch, the two set off to find the missing bard just as winter melts into spring.
    Of course nothing was easy when it came to Jaskier, but Geralt was willing to fight against anything - be it a dragon or destiny itself - to have the bard at his side once again.

    or;
    it started with an adventure, like all witcher love stories do
