    Summary

    When there aren't any monsters to kill, sometimes Geralt has to sell services other than his swords.

    Jaskier's father expects him to behave as befits the Pankratz heir.

    Both Geralt and Jaskier want the same thing: to get the hell out of Kerack.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    CW: A main subject of the story is what might be considered prostitution and/or dubious consent and/or non-con. It doesn't happen onscreen, but the story begins right after such a scene ends.

    Bookmarker notes to self:

    • mercyfic or adjacent?
    • amazing fic from amazing author
    • love the characterization
    Spoiler warning: Major plot elements (click to view spoilers)

    People pay Geralt to have sex with him as well as injure/torture him. They don't pay fairly, and they don't treat Geralt well (understatement). Jaskier's father pays Geralt to spend a night with Jaskier. Jaskier finds the situation appalling. Jaskier convinces Geralt to immediately leave Kerack with him. (Jaskier is attracted to Geralt, but doesn't voice this, and Geralt is aware of it due to Witcher senses.)
