    Summary

    Jaskier finds himself trapped between the world of the living and the dead, with no memories of how it happened. He has no choice but to follow his Witcher guide to Kaer Morhen, the keep of the Lord of the Dead, where Jaskier must remain until either his soul returns to his body, or he passes on.

    At first, being confined to Kaer Morhen is the worst fate Jaskier can imagine, but he soon learns the Underworld, and its god, are nothing like the tales paint them. The longer he remains, the more he begins to wonder if staying would be so terrible after all.

    Summary

    “And I’m telling you,” said the mage, leaning back in her seat with her arms folded across her chest. “I can’t do it. This spell has a very specific set of conditions built in. You can give it what it wants, or you can stay like that. But only you yourselves can get you out of it.”

    “Are you absolutely certain—?”

    “Oh, trust me, witcher. Or, bard, rather,” she waved a hand, perfectly nonchalant. “I’d love to take your coin. But it just can’t be done.”

    Summary

    But face marks were rare outside of cells and brothels, and Jaskier’s was too large by half again. Combined with the four faint ridges at the top, most people who didn’t assume it was another oddity of a bard assumed he was trouble or he was in trouble.

    After all, not many soulmates’ first skin contact was a punch in the face.

    -or-

    Jaskier’s used to people reacting badly to his (large, improper) soulmark. He didn’t expect Eskel to be one of them.

    Kairosclerosis: the moment you realize you're happy

    Lambert knows pain.

    As time goes on, it all blurs into one. Physical, emotional, mental...sooner or later, it blends together, and he can no longer find the difference. Pain is pain, and it all hurts the same. People speak of childhood like it’s something fond, a time of happiness in memories long past, but Lambert doesn’t know what that feels like.

    Summary

    Where witchers are death, and Jaskier is a bard with a flare for the dramatic who keeps saying he wants to “just die” in any given situation.
    To Jaskier, this is just a figure of speech. To Geralt, it is very definitely flirting.
    When he decides to finally court the bard, it doesn't quite go as expected, and he finds out just why it is so easy for Jaskier to flirt with death.

     

    ---000---

    Geralt tilts his head to listen, the corner of his mouth twitching upward. The bard has been flirting with him for weeks now, exclaiming he could just die, all over Oxenfurt. At first, Geralt thought the man was being dramatic and didn’t know what he was doing, but no one is that theatrical.

    “Little shit at it again?” Lambert grouses. “Just fucking court him already, pretty boy. Or I might just do it for you.”

    Summary

    The captain raised an eyebrow as he paced around them. “Really. ‘Fiona’?”
    “It’s her name. Just, her middle name,” Jaskier explained.
    “And that,” the captain snapped his fingers, making Ciri jump, “Is exactly my point. We don’t even know your names. For being ‘honest’ you’re shockingly deceptive. And I can’t have that on my ship.”

    Or:
    Geralt never called the Law of Surprise, instead all Witchers fled to the ocean decades back. A place Jaskier has avoided going for the last twenty years, until Nilfgaard's hunt for Ciri forced him to revisit his past traumas, and along the way find a chance for love.

    Summary

    Lambert doesn’t like being touched.

    He has trained himself over decades to tolerate contact with his brothers, but anyone else gets sharp words, or even sharper (and occasionally poisoned) blades.

    Then Geralt says he’s bringing his godsdamned handsy bard to Kaer Morhen, and Lambert’s sure that even with ample forewarning, accidental touching is inevitable. It’s going to make the winter feel miserably long, and Lambert knows for a fact that he’s going to hate every second of it.

    He has no idea what to do when he’s wrong.

    Jaskier has been planning his own thirtieth birthday party for about six months. It’ll happen in another two weeks, and a lot of rather famous people will be there. Lots of journalists, musicians, a couple actors he’s made friends with.

    But none of them are allowed here.

    Tonight is just for family, and tonight, Jaskier has no idea what’s in store.

    Summary

    “You look less than pleased to be here,” says a voice to Geralt’s left. It’s jarring enough that someone that he doesn’t recognize is speaking to him that Geralt almost chokes on an ice cube. He swallows hard, then looks towards the voice.

    “What gave it away?” He asks. He licks vodka-cherry flavor off his top lip, waiting for this irritatingly pretty stranger to say something shitty.

    “Well, you’re nursing a drink and brooding in a corner when you could definitely be doing a lot else. And, no offense, you look confused by your drink. Plus, you’re way too pretty to be here alone.”

    Geralt bites down on his bottom lip, trying unsuccessfully to suppress a smile. “That’s a shitty line.”

    Or: the bar hookup au nobody asked for.

    Summary

    Jaskier has grown very familiar with the long list of things Witchers have never experienced before, the mundane comforts and activities he spent most of his life taking for granted. He does his best to fill in the gaps for them, but somehow, even after all of his years following Geralt, he still finds himself surprised by his most recent discovery.

    How in the world have men that spend their winters in a mountain keep never heard of ice skating?

    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.
