    Summary

    After birthing himself from a fresh grave lifetime-decades ago, Jaskier has played the bard across the continent. He is content because he is who he chooses to be: safely forgettable; a weed who makes music.

    … Until the witcher, and the child surprise. Until the war. If he runs from his birthright, he risks the lives of everyone whom he ever held dear. If he embraces it – he loses them anyway.

     

    UPDATE: I haven't abandoned this!! I'm just in grad school and workin full time as a public schoolteacher. Thanks for your patience. :D Last chapter's halfway done as of 11/15/25!
