Silent Rang The Bell by Andromeda_Awaiting

Summary
The Sandpiper network guided countless men, women, and children to safer lands. To many, it was a beacon of hope in dark times. To others, it was an uprising meant to be snuffed out.
No one, however, had any plans in place to save the Sandpiper.
Not even the Sandpiper himself.

Summary
When Jaskier is young, he is sold to a slaver to solve his parents' problems with money.
He ends up at the royal court of Tretogor, a gold-collared bedslave, reserved for the royal line. Unlike the others, Jaskier doesn't settle into his fate, but rebels in what little ways he can.
It's no wonder then, that when the warlord of the north visits Tretogor for negotiations, Jaskier finds himself in the middle of it all.---000---
His mother's face is sad, and Julian wishes more than anything he could change that. She tucks a lock of his soft brown hair behind his ear.
“Remember how you said you wanted to help?”
Julian nods.
“There’s someone who… is coming to take a look at you. If you do well, we’ll get enough to pay the rent that’s still due. If we’re very lucky, we’ll get enough to buy back the farm.”
“What do I have to do?” Julian asks.
A tear tracks down his mother’s cheek.- Language:

Summary
Jaskier was half way through a lackluster rendition of one of his least popular songs when his world went static.
In his ears, a foreign heartbeat thundered, ragged and wounded. It felt as though his lungs had gone sideways with the sensation. Even the air itself tasted like it was charged with lightning, bright and bitter as ozone. Deep in his gut, he felt something urging himself forward, pulling him like some invisible string towards an unknown destination.
Something brushed across his senses, rough as tree bark, and sinking into his skin to crawl like ants beneath. He froze, eyes darting around the room like he could spot whoever it was that had sent his senses scrambling against the hard earned shields he was always careful to maintain. In his hands, his fingers faltered, melody disappearing beneath the wave of wrong that felt like it was choking him.
The answer was simple--and impossible.
There was a Sentinel here.

Summary
“I-” It was hard to speak between the pain in his face and the fog in his head. “I don't know...how I got here.”
He blinked and looked around blearily. He was in...a tavern? A bar? It was the same bar he performed in earlier. Or last night. Was it morning already?
“That's okay.” A hand came up to gently brush his hair back. “I'm here now.”
------------------------
Jaskier wakes up tied to a chair, injured and no memory of what had happened. Rescue comes in the form of a strange mage who gives him refuge as he heals. Jaskier quickly finds himself falling under Rience's spell. And when he tells him that Ciri would be safer with him than with Geralt and asks him to take her from under the witcher's nose, Jaskier cannot say no.- Language:

Summary
At this worst possible moment, a breathless, nervous giggle burst from him, but the line about at least buying him dinner first died on his lips as the witcher snarled and Jaskier felt a teeny, unusual twinge of genuine fear.
"Get in the way one more time-" Geralt ground out each syllable in turn, pinning him to the bark with his glare as much as his fist "-and I will leave you at the next inn for good."
~
Desperate not to be left behind, Jaskier keeps a dangerous secret.

Summary
“Rumour has it, the White Wolf himself arrived this morning,” Essi says. “By portal, or there would have been a whole procession. Anyway, there were two witchers at the Academy, and they were asking about you.”
“Me?”
Essi holds out a sheet of paper without a word.
It’s a bulletin board notice. Wanted Alive, it says. The Sandpiper. By order of the White Wolf, Warlord of the North. Below is an engraving of a wolf head, snarling and almost audibly growling.

Summary
When Rience is done, he throws what is left of Jaskier into the harbor, not even having the courtesy to finish him off first. One final cruel insult: drowning the man you burned.
It seems unfair, Jaskier thinks, to spend thirty-nine years being a person, breathing and alive, only to end as tattered cloth and scorched meat, dumped like so much garbage.
No one will ever know what happened to him.

Summary
“Bard wandered right through the next town over,” a farmer says, scratching a patchy beard. "You know what folk are like over there. They don’t particularly like Witchers. Hate them, in fact.”
Geralt turns his head. The group hasn’t seen him. He made sure to pick a booth in the darkest and furthest corner in the tavern, content to just drink until the sun went down; and then he could get some sleep.
But now, ale and sleep are the last things on his mind.
“They’ve been trying to get their hands on a Witcher for years,” another farmer joins in, picking at some leftover food on his plate.
The first man shrugs, lifting his tankard to his mouth. “If you can’t go about killing an actual Witcher, do the next best thing: kill it’s bed-warmer.”

The Flower of the Court by aileenrose

Summary
The dream is not, Jaskier thinks, good foreshadowing for his plans tonight. The dream, after all, is about a man who King Emhyr decided had betrayed him, and subsequently had him killed. Killed in front of the court, no less, as a reminder of how quickly their fates could change according to the King’s whims.
Tonight, after his performance, Jaskier plans to do just the same. Betray his king.Jaskier, the so-called "Flower of King Emhyr's court," does not think himself a brave person. Still, he attempts to escape the King's volatile, violent court, and in doing so, stumbles into the Warlord's lands. There, he tries to determine if he is captive, pawn, or something else entirely.

Summary
"For a while, Jaskier doesn’t know he’s cursed. It feels like free will, going back down that mountain, just as dangerous down as the way up, and alone this time, too. The descent is fast, maybe even reckless, but Jaskier’s feeling numb and out-of-sorts anyways, Geralt’s words simmering in his mind, and at the time it doesn’t feel like he’s being pulled on by anything but his own desire to get away."
Based off a post that Geralt's words on the mountain are granted by the djinn.

Summary
“You know how this ends.”
The bard swallows and summons up the mask of confidence better suited to wooing crowds. “One can only hope it includes an end to stupid questions.”
They jerk the chair he’s chained to backwards and tilt it until the only thing keeping it upright are their hands. Behind him, another drags the tub into place. He pants, struggling through the panic and the petty need to keep them from knowing that they’re getting to him. He knows it’s a losing battle.
“Last chance, bard,” the hated voice whispers into his ear.
He fills his lungs with the fetid smelling air of the prison and tries to find the resolve that had been enough to make him face Nilfgaard alone.
A sigh. “Have it your way.”
The water closes over his head.

Summary
Jaskier doesn’t actually know how much time has passed since the black-cloaked Nilfgaardians grab him after a performance in a shitty tavern in the backcountry of northern Kaedwen. He’d assumed--foolishly, apparently--that he was far enough north that any Nilfgaardian soldiers would be few and far between, likely just scouts or even deserters. It would have been hard to actually get any further north--the little backwater town where he’d been singing was just a day from the mountains. Anymore travel, and he’d find himself skirting the Trail up to Kaer Morhen, the Warlord’s Keep, and, well. He’s brazen, but not that brazen.
(or: a wandering bard bites off more than he can chew with the political ballads, accidentally makes friends with a princess in exile, and finds the Warlord of the North in his debt.)

Summary
"My name was Julian Alfred Pankratz. I was the Viscount's youngest son."
Like he hoped, the Warlord hones in on one thing. "Was."
"Pretty sure getting arrested for treason against Emhyr var Emeris, the mighty White Flame is enough to get me officially disinherited. Especially considering my parents turned me in themselves."
Jaskier saves the Warlord's daughter. Despite his family ties, he's allowed to stay in Kaer Morhen while he recovers from his injuries. Eventually, it becomes home.
