think back to days in hidden caves by sugarybowl

Summary
By and large Vesemir keeps a close perimeter these days, reluctant to risk being too far from Kaer Morhen should he be needed. His boys never do come before the winds turn, but he’s earned this in his old age, the privilege of choosing his corners of the path. Besides, the people Kaedwen have been good to him in the past few decades – perhaps humanity is softening to them at last, perhaps he is simply the devil they know.

I’m from Kaedwen. A portrait of Geralt of Rivia is on the dustcover of our Spherizoology secondary text. I thought I was prepared. I wasn’t. I was not prepared for Geralt Rivia's undercut and arms in 4K, folks.

At Ciri's request and with the help of an online penpal who he finds himself growing closer to every day, Geralt starts putting himself out there after years of hiding away from the world.The world reacts.

Summary
The young man is staring up at Geralt in awe and joy as Geralt stares back in confusion. Before he can do anything about it – and truly he has no concept of what he would do about this – the boy has thrown his arms around Geralt’s neck and has his whole slim body hanging from him like a human medal.
“Geralt!”

Summary
"There is no town called Lettenhove," Ciri said.
"It's small," Jaskier said.
"If it's big enough to have a viscount, I would have learned about it in my political studies. I was engaged to the prince of Redania for a few months; I was instructed on every noble family in the land. There is no Viscount de Lettenhove."
Yennefer and Geralt's expressions shifted, the mirth dropping.

Summary
“This drink, the mage made it. It is going to make you a good boy,” she brushed back his hair, too long nails trailing along his cheek. “But you cannot tell anyone. You cannot tell a soul about this drink or this spell. You don’t talk about it. You keep it secret.”
Julian opened his mouth to ask more and was hit by a pain he had never experienced. The boy cried out in pain and doubled over, arm wrapping around his screaming middle. His mother shushed him and pet at him until he was able to catch his breath.
“See what happens to naughty little boys who don’t listen?” Her voice was sharp. “I told you not to say anything.”
--
Jaskier was cursed with obedience as a child and has mostly learned to get by without others knowing. Geralt is not most people.

Summary
“Can I help?” Jaskier asked, trying not to sound like he was comforting a spooked horse, for all that was how it felt. Geralt didn’t usually get visibly upset. Or, at least not this way, not loudly. Normally an upset Geralt was a quiet Geralt, more prone to delivering cutting remarks born of anger than experiencing— panic? Was he panicking?
The emotion looked strange on Geralt, but there was hardly anything else it could be.
In which Jaskier exhibits some *ahem* whorish proclivities, Geralt exhibits a surprising amount of emotions, and Roach is just trying her damn best. Humor, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, and ~emotions~ inside.

Summary
Pain. Jaskier remembers pain, remembers all the breaking in his bones and heart, remembers the aching, weeping tired and the strand goes taut enough to snap. He remembers "shut up, Julian," so sharp and "shut up, Jaskier," so sweet and remembers rain and apple tarts and fire under his fingers and marbles in his hands and acorns and constellations and music and yawning, rending grief and precious, ecstatic joy.
******
In which Jaskier is brave and perfect in all things and Geralt...certainly does try his best- Language:

Summary
Witchers don’t have soulmates. That’s been true for as long as Geralt’s been alive, a necessary sacrifice for a life spent on the Path. There’s no place for the attachments that humans define themselves by.
It may not be worth it to Geralt, but love has always been the single most motivating force in the world for Jaskier. Unrequited or not, he’s a bard, and there’s a story to be told. He’ll be the one to tell it.
(Who’s the more tragic figure here? The loved or the unloving?)
Jaskier and Geralt are soulmates, bound by the Red String of Fate. But just because it's written in the stars doesn't mean it's an easy path to tread, and it takes more than a nudge from fate to make a soul-bond work. Between the way Geralt feels about destiny, and the trials and tribulations of the path they have to trudge, it's going to be one hell of an adventure.

the most dangerous thing is to love (you will heal and you'll rise above) by teamfreehoodies

Summary

Summary
“What did you give me?” he growls, burying his fear beneath a burst of anger. The room around them splinters, making gravity an uncertain principle: vertigo makes him drool and he spits, falling over, digging his fingers into the ground in a futile effort to make everything just stop spinning. “Oh fuck, wha’ ‘id you do t’me?” he slurs out past a suddenly numb tongue. The icy burn has spread out from his throat and chest to take over his whole body, sending lightning strikes of pain zinging up and down his limbs.
“You’ll find out soon enough, I think.”Yennefer is healing after Sodden, trying to pull her chaos back inside herself. She doesn't actually have time to chase down wayward bards, much less take care of the child-sized version of one she's never particularly liked all that well. She really is quite tired of being forced to save this fool.

Summary
“Please,” she begs, planting herself in front of him to act as a physical barrier, forcing him to stop. “I don’t have anywhere else to go.”
“Melitele’s tits, you’re persistent. Isn’t your…” His left hand does something complicated in a strange flourish, as though grappling for the right word. “... actual father, here somewhere?” It doesn’t sound like the word he’d been searching for, the common honorific somehow sounding foreign in his mouth.
“I was with him,” she admits, thinking about Geralt because he is the closest thing to a father she has now. “But… we got separated.”
The stranger raised an unimpressed eyebrow. “So, now you’re looking to adopt a new one?”
...
Alternatively: When Ciri gets separated from Geralt, she has to rely on the kindness of one reluctant stranger until she can find the witcher again. She doesn't intend to get attached - and it's apparent that neither does the stranger - but destiny always finds a way to fuck things up.

It reeked of slaughter, both fresh and old, as soon as he went through the portal and into enemy territory.
Soldiers in black armour immediately tried to take him down so he started Singing, reaching for the dormant power deep within him.

The Mage, the Bard and the Witcher drabbles by notebooksandlaptops
Fandom: The Witcher (TV), Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types
24 Mar 2020
Summary
Fics set in the same timeline about Jaskier/Yennefer/Geralt being in one big poly relationship post-season one. Mainly focusing on Jaskier/Yennefer's relationship, because I'm desperate for more content from those two (but of course letting both of them cuddle up to our favourite grumpy Witcher). All fics can be read as stand alones.

Summary
Jaskier, armed with his trusty margarita, can’t help himself when Geralt and Yennefer start bombing a couples question game at their own dinner party. He ends up taking over, and the game reveals a little bit more than wether he knows their favorite ice cream toppings.
(But he knows that too.)

Summary
After getting his heart broken on a wild goose chase of a dragon hunt, Jaskier - a dragon himself - never got the chance to tell his Witcher the truth. Honestly, he's glad because now he can disappear into the clouds and grant Geralt's stupid fucking blessing.
Nilfgaard has other ideas. And like all of Jaskier's shittiest life events, those ideas end up including Yennefer of Vengerberg.

Summary
Jaskier doesn’t remember anything before waking up in Blaviken, hearing tales of a Butcher. He has scars he can’t explain and reflexes he can’t control, but he’s human. Absolutely, Positively, 100% human.
At least, that's what he tells himself.
But how long can he outrun his past before it comes back to haunt him, golden eyes and all?
_
The Nightingale Prince was a Witcher feared across the continent and known for rescuing girls cursed by the Black Sun, including one particular Shrike. Until he went missing over a decade ago. Now there is only Jaskier, a bard. Armed with half a memory, a mage and a witcher at his side, Jaskier will have to discover his past in order to survive his future.
