    Summary

    Jaskier could admit to it; he was starting to develop a problem.

    He wouldn’t call it a drinking problem, exactly. He’d seen men with that kind of sickness, who couldn’t function unless they had ale lingering on their lips, and he could happily go weeks without ever touching the stuff (even if he’d prefer not to – but life on the road with a Witcher didn’t always bring with it anything other than slightly-muddy water).

    It was just that when he did drink, he tended to steal things.

    He couldn’t help it! He’d tried to help it. But no matter how much he thought he could recount the nights they spent in taverns, he’d wake up in the morning to find some small thing in his pack; cleaning supplies for his lute, a tiny bottle of the whiskey he liked, a new fine silk shirt. He couldn’t remember taking them, but there was no other possible explanation. They were too tailored to his own desires to be some passing fancy slipping them in with his things and checking his coin purse confirmed that he’d not spent anything near the amount he should have done for some of the things he’d found.

    -///-

    Or, five times Jaskier thought that he was a drunken thief, and one time he realised he wasn't.

    Summary

    They say cats have nine lives, but truthfully Jaskier has long lost count of his.

    Jaskier has always been very good at playing pretend. It gets harder after Geralt’s harsh words on the mountain. It gets harder still when he has to save a rogue Wolf and his Child Surprise from Nilfgaard’s gathering forces.

    Summary

    The girl rolls her eyes at him. “If you’re just going to stand here ogling the witcher, maybe go and do it out of the way.”

    “Ogling.” Jaskier scoffs. “Who’s ogling?”

    She looks unimpressed. “Have you told him you want him to fuck you?”

    (A love song.)

    Summary

    You are destruction, Jaskier’s mentor tells him. Death and destruction thrum in Jaskier’s core of chaos, his magic bringing nothing but annihilation, and Jaskier hates it.

    But music is not destruction. Music is creation, and it sings in Jaskier’s veins. There is nothing quite like the rush of joy and energy whenever music flows through him, and he forgets about the destruction that his chaos is capable of as music fills his soul.

    After decades of being a sorcerer, Jaskier finds himself in music, and for the first time, his magic brings life.

    Summary

    “Please don’t do this, Yennefer.” She leans back.

    “Do what?”

    Jaskier swallows hard, bringing one knee up and pressing his forehead to it, his arms wrapped loosely around his leg. His voice, when he finally speaks, is soft, pain clear in his tone.

    “Don’t give me hope.” He tells her, swallowing hard after he says it. “I can’t do it again.” He turns his head to look at her from beneath his fringe. “I spent decades hoping, Yennefer. And it got me fuck all besides the dressing down of my life on top of that fucking mountain and a fun little session of torture later.”

     

    (Jaskier hoped that he could have more with Geralt once, and all it had gotten him was abandoned on a mountain. He won’t make the same mistake twice.)

    Summary

    Rook’s face flared red at the suggestion he had done this deliberately. “It’s not like I knew trying to call in would bring you here. I just wanted to ask if you knew how to get out, so I can get back to cleaning up your mess.”

    “My mess-?” Solas' eyes narrowed, and then, slowly, he smiled. “I will kindly impart my wisdom, in that case. The path to progress is participation.”

    “Ah,” said Rook articulately. He could have guessed as much, but he’d hoped for a different solution. “So I have to...?”

    “Lie with the individual at the centre of this memory,” Solas clarified.

    “Right,” said Rook, then he gasped. “Wait, hang on-”

    “You poked your nose into places you are not welcome, without considering the consequences, as is your wont,” said Solas, a touch sardonic. “This is the result. Are you pleased with yourself, Rook?”

    Rook falls into another of Solas' memories. (Un)fortunately, so does Solas.

    “Are all land folk this prone to staring?”

    Davrin blinks at him, following his pointed finger down to the pencil still held loosely in his hand.

    “It’s a pencil.” He answers “and yeah, most of them.”

     

    Davrin makes a deal with a merfolk for information about a creature he’s tracking. He doesn’t expect to gain something else.

    Summary

    "This is a very simple experiment, bard." Cold blue eyes met Jaskier's. "The Witcher over there? He's dying. There's only one thing that can save him at this point."

    Jaskier glanced towards Geralt apprehensively; his head lolled back. If he was conscious, he gave no sign of it.

    "I want you to bond him."

    Jaskier jerked, staring at the man in horror. "No."

    Soul-bonding was intimate, a moment reserved in private between two people who had decided to share every joy and every sorrow. They would feel each other's pain, know if the other was on the brink of death. It was a bond that could only be forged with good intention, with the purest motive. There was no way to undo it. Bonding Geralt would mean surrendering half his soul to the Witcher, to experiencing every pain, and every woe. But worse than that. Witchers didn't have souls. Jaskier would be throwing away the greatest connection he could ever experience, for a man who would never be able to return it. Jaskier was romantic enough to admit that he wanted a romance of the ages, and a bond of certainty.

    Not this.

    "Let me make this easier for you: bond him, or I'll kill you."

    Summary

    “Jaskier!” Essi gasped out, “The White Wolf?!” She erupted into giggles, not waiting for a reply. “Oh, it’s just like you! Getting the best one for yourself!”

    Jaskier blinked owlishly.“I’m sorry, what?

    “Jaskier, you just danced with Geralt of Rivia!” Priscilla exclaimed. At seeing the flabbergastered expression on her brother’s face, she pursed her lips, clearly repressing a laugh. “Do tell, why does it come as such a shock to you?” she asked, her voice tremoring with mirth.

    Jaskier groaned, hiding his face in his hands. It was just like him, he mused, not to notice that he had danced with the most famous witcher in the whole country.

    Summary

    “I’ve never been in the habit of denying myself things, Rook,” Emmrich said, leaning back. Kostas, jarred by the use of his nickname, glanced about, realizing that Emmrich was still fully clothed and had managed to nearly strip him while he was distracted. “I’m thinking that a change is in order.”

    “A change?” he said, clearing his throat of the catch he found there. “What d’you mean?”

    “Well, I see a feast before me, and I would be remiss if I did not eat my fill, for one,” Emmrich said. He trailed long fingers against Kostas’s neck, pressing gently against the bruise he’d left upon his bite. Kostas gave a muffled curse, and Emmrich smiled. “I intend to take my time with you, my darling boy.”

    Prompt Fill:
    The crew is captured and restrained in a dungeon, even Yennefer is subdued. The bad guys decide that to torture Geralt most they are going to take his bard into the next room and make him listen while they make him scream.

    There's plenty of screams alright.

    They don't belong to Jaskier.

    Turns out our bard is a lot more than human and is more than capable of taking care of himself. After slaughtering the bad guys he casually strolls in and saves them both.

    Summary

    The witchers of Kaer Morhen have never been comfortable with gentle touches. It just isn't who they are. But when Geralt arrives to spend the winter with his brothers looking more relaxed than any of them have felt in years, all due to the affection of a human bard, Lambert and Eskel grow curious. They wonder what it would be like to be touched or held without fear.

    When Lambert runs into Jaskier in a small town in Redania, it's the safest he's felt in years. He and his brothers need touch and kindness more than they're willing to admit, and all Jaskier wants it to help , if only the witchers would let him.

    Geralt and Jaskier are together, all the other relationships are platonic with a good helping of touch-starvation on the side.
