    Summary

    The park had been the ambitious brain child of some distant founder who'd heard a brief description of Epcot once and decided to open his own, time machine themed, "educational" amusement park. "Tipler Time-line" amusement park and historical village ("A walk through time!" Their slogan claimed) had been opened sometime in the mid eighties and had remained mostly unchanged since then.

    "Well jeez, Octavius, did you think the term history buff was some sort of challenge?".

    Summary

    “Geralt!” Jaskier breathes and waves his hand. It’s made difficult by Geralt still holding it, but Jaskier tries his best. “My hand moves! Without me moving it!” He looks up at Geralt, his eyes massive. “Have you ever heard of such a thing?!”

    “Yes, you’re very talented,” Geralt says, and Jaskier thinks he would like to kiss him for that, but the witcher seems very high up away. “Now go to sleep.”

     

    (After an attack, Jaskier is under the influence of painkillers). (It goes about how you would expect).

    Summary

    “So do you have a name?”

    “Yeah.” The man who had saved his life less than an hour ago – the white-haired, absurdly buff, weirdly sexy man Jaskier might have called taciturn if he was feeling charitable and surly if he was feeling less so – dug into his second burger.

    Jaskier waited. “Are… you going to tell me what it is?”

    The man paused mid-bite, and looked at him reproachfully as if to say how dare you. How dare you interrupt me. Can’t you see I’m enjoying my cheeseburger. Can’t you see this cheeseburger is the most important thing in my life right at the moment. He swallowed, and said, “Geralt.”

    It turns out almost getting eaten by a werewolf can make your whole life go careening off in a new, terrifying, wondrous, artistically flourishing direction. Who knew?

    Summary

    He doesn’t sing again. That prickly part of Geralt that’s been traveling alone for most of his life gruffly thought he’d enjoy that result. After all, he did his level best to have the issue resolved. It wasn’t his fault that the bard got involved. He hadn’t invited him along – he had just wanted to fucking sleep for fucking once in his life, damn it. It had been his wish though, however unintentional, that brought the bard into this new life, this silent existence. A world without Jaskier’s singing.

    Prompt: Another consideration (sorry) is if Jaskier did lose his voice permanently from the Jinn and Geralt feels guilty and doesnt stop trying to find a cure even though he knows there isnt one (or lies to Jaskier that he's trying to find one til Jaskier finds out).

    Summary

    When a portal appears and out stumbles a strange but achingly familiar man, Geralt knows he has to help him. Doesn't matter that this version of Dandelion, who prefers to be called Jaskier (thank you very much) is a bit more timid around him than he anticipates. That's all in a day's work for a witcher.
    Or the one where post mountain Jaskier gets teleported to game! Geralt's world. Love and madness ensue.

    Summary

    Geralt is just supposed to pass through the quiet Lettenhove area. He's not anticipating being begged by its people to help save their viscount from a curse that keeps him from daylight. Lord Jaskier, they call him, and he's likely dying.

    As Geralt struggles to untangle the ugly web of history that has lead to the increasingly complicated curse, he finds himself spending more and more time with the strange young viscount and wondering just what he might have been before the curse, and who he might be after. But things are not always as they seem, and as the curse tightens its grip on Jaskier, Geralt is forced to face the fear of failing yet another person whose choices were stolen from them.

    Or-

    Jaskier is kept from becoming a bard. Geralt finds him anyway.

    Summary

    While being pursued by a monster the likes of which they’ve never seen, Geralt, Ciri, and Jaskier attempt to escape into another universe. When the portal collapses with Jaskier still in it, he’s thrown off course and someplace that looks similar to home, but is just a little to the left of normal. Now, Geralt and Ciri must travel the multiverse to find him, before the monster catches up to them and devours them all.

    Summary

    In his time as a witcher, Geralt has killed just about everything that can be killed: monsters, beasts, constructs, men, even the undead can die again if you know the trick to it. Wraiths, he knows, are the lingering troubled spirits of people who died tragically, violently, unjustly and unavenged. Their unfair fate spawns in them a jealousy and hatred of everything living that quickly drives them mad and makes them dangerous and deadly, driven to torment those responsible for their plight. Usually he feels no more than a twinge of pity as he sends them off again with silver and fire, but then again usually they aren’t haunting him. Usually they aren’t Jaskier.

    Geralt learns that Jaskier never made it off the mountain after the dragon hunt and, if that’s what it takes to appease the monster that now wears his face, neither will Geralt.

    Summary

    "You'll change your mind one day," says the innkeep. "The road can't love you back."

    What a strange way to flatten something so beautiful, Jaskier thinks. What a small way to love.

    Or: When Jaskier is hit with a curse that prevents him from having sex, he's lucky that the first person he meets is a Witcher. It's even luckier that Jaskier is used to hitting the road, because Geralt isn't waiting up.

    Summary

    Julian was six when he learnt of the Assassins and their Creed. Of the war they fought against.

    Every day since then he had promised himself, and the world, that he would become the best Assassin of his time. That he would become a Master. That he would stand for the freedom everyone deserved to keep.

    He would meet many during his life, but the most important connection to him, his greatest ally, was a witcher he’d met when young. Many said that if you came across Geralt of Rivia and Julian Pankratz, trouble was close.

    Summary

    "Your song about the ghost, then," Maja asks warily. "It's just metaphorical, right?"
    "Yes, of course, absolutely metaphorical," Jaskier brightly assures her. "No ghosts here."
    Jaskier's favorite painting falls to the ground.
    "Bollocks."

     

    Aka: The one where Jaskier's cottage is maybe, possibly, just a teensy bit haunted.

    Summary

    When he is four, Jaskier escapes out his window to avoid a boring family dinner where his cousin was getting betrothed to someone. He just wanted to hear the frogs. Frogs sound neat.

    That daring escape, and the rescue that it required changed his whole fate, because he was the one who ended up betrothed to a witcher - the plan to marry when he was 20. He didn't really care he got to hear the frogs croak, what did he care about this Geralt of Rivia?

    As he grows up though, he ends up caring a great deal.

    Scenes from Jaskier's life of meeting every witcher but his betrothed, until one day in a shitty tavern, he finally meets Geralt.

    Summary

    Over winter at Kaer Morhen with Ciri, Geralt realizes that he loves Jaskier, and has for years. Everyone at the keep decides the only logical thing that can happen is that Geralt court and wed Jaskier. But Geralt wants to do it properly. So the strongest, most fearsome warriors in all the land, research how to woo a minor noble and send Geralt back into the world with elaborate lists and a game plan.

    And it all is going great. Courting turns out to be a lot easier than he expected. He and Jaskier will be married well before the return to Kaer Morhen for the winter!

    Jaskier is thrilled to have his best friend back, and be off adventuring again. Geralt is behaving a bit oddly, but well, people get weird sometimes.

    A fic where Jaskier is the romantically clueless one. Just because he sings about love, doesn't mean he'll see it - even when it is Witcher sized and holding flowers right in his face.
