Kingdoms Come and Kingdoms Go, Rivers Run and Rivers Flow

by DancingLassie

Jaskier's start in life was unfortunate, but sadly not unheard of. He was put in a sack, less than an hour old, and chucked in the river. For many in his position that would of been the end of it, but the Yaruga heard his cut off wail and swept him into her loving embrace. Less than an hour old and Jaskier had already died and been reborn as the newest child of Mama Yaruga.

In Plain Sight

by im_fairly_witty

Two years have passed since Geralt was cursed with the ability to turn into a wolf whenever his medallion is removed, a curse that's turned into a blessing now that he and Jaskier are partners in everything they do. It's no exception when they discover a Nilfgaardian army bearing down on Cintra, headed straight toward a certain child surprise. With Jaskier's help and Geralt's enchanted medallion they must find a way to get into the palace, make sure Princess Cirilla is safe, and get out with her in tow if needed, regardless of Queen Calanthe's orders. From an Anon prompt on tumblr: "If you're still taking prompts for the witcher wolf fics, may I suggest Jaskier and Geralt using the wolf transformation to sneak Geralt through a castle where he's been forbidden to go, with a side of Geralt taking advantage of his form to act like a cursed fae horror again, like when he killed the bandits?"

could be, will be, maybe?

by themarvelousmaize

“Do you want to hold her?” The princess doesn’t really wait for Jaskier’s answer; simply deposits the little babe into his arms, and Jaskier scrambles to hold her right, sneaking a hand to delicately cradle the head. She’s so small, he thinks to himself a little hysterically, and then, in quick succession, Geralt is going to love her.   Or: the story of how Jaskier visits Cintra over the years, and carves lasting bonds with Pavetta, with Ciri - and finds himself as bound to Geralt as if Destiny herself had twined their fates together.

flying home

by winterbitch (WinterLadyy)

Ciri always knew that there are things people didn't want to tell her. Finding the charm only convinced her further, because now she dreams about blue eyes and white hair and when people tell her to find Geralt of Rivia, she knows that he must be connected to that. He and his bard.She expects guardians. What she gets are two awkward but loving parents, answers and a little bit of magic and feathers.

you're the words that I promise I don't mean

by notebooksandlaptops

The next day comes around and, when they come across a village at a crossroad, Jaskier books himself a night in the inn and Geralt continues North. Jaskier doesn’t ask if they’ll see one another again. He knows, deep in his bones with a certainty far beyond his years, that the answer is yes.It is not until he is bathing that evening that he realises why the answer is yes.He’s so used to the occasional ink splattering on his skin that needs washing off, that he doesn’t even note the words in block cursive travelling up his thigh for what they are for a good moment. Instead, he rubs absently at them with his small bar of soap, waiting for them to dissipate from his skin.They do not.He blinks.Blinks again.Shit.A soulmark. -///-Or, when soulmates lie to one another, those lies are immortalised on each other's skin. Jaskier and Geralt tell each other a lot of lies.

My Heart is Growing Weak

by WednesdaysDaughter

When he looks up Geralt has turned around, arms outstretched with a jar cradled in his large palms.“I’ll take good care of it Jaskier.”In the jar rests a beating heart; Jaskier’s beating heart. He opens his mouth to scream, but his voice is cheerful when he replies, “Of course you will Geralt.”

three for a girl

by Emamel

"As you have probably heard, Princess Pavetta of Cintra's daemon has settled -" "I hadn't." "- and so by the customs of the land, Queen Calanthe has announced her daughter's eligibility -" "Thought she'd be a bit young for you." "- which means there will be the very grandest of feasts, and hang on, sorry, what was that?" “I hope you aren’t planning to announce your intentions. How old is the princess? Seventeen?” Geralt paused, distracted, and furrowed his brow for a moment. “What age do daemons usually settle, again?”

Jitters

by LovelyRita1967

Jaskier is an aspiring musician working in a coffee shop. Geralt is a fancy lawyer in expensive suits. It could never work between them… right? Jaskier turned and found himself looking up into the face of the most beautiful human being he had ever seen in his life. He felt his jaw drop, his cheeks flush a fiery red, and, had he been a cartoon, his eyes most certainly would have done that “boing-oing-oing” thing.  “Good morning!” Jaskier announced, perhaps a little too loudly, eyes a little too wide. “What can I get for you, sir?” The man met Jaskier’s gaze, and he felt his cheeks burn even hotter. What was happening to him? “Double espresso, to go. Please,” he rumbled, in the deepest, sexiest voice Jaskier had ever heard.

Danger, A Quest, Three Figures

by WednesdaysDaughter

“Alright, go ahead and do it. Give me a command – come on! Satisfy your sick need to control everyone and everything!”Yennefer tilts her head, studying Jaskier intensely, without reservation, and he’s wrong-footed when all she does is shake her head sadly. She reminds him of Mandy and Gail and it makes his stomach twist uncomfortably. “Can you fix me?”That broken voice can’t be his, except that it is and Jaskier walks away before she can reply because two weeks ago he nearly walked into a river to drown when Geralt said something carelessly. Thankfully he quickly changed his mind and told Jaskier to break up their campsite instead.“Are all bards this dramatic?” he’d asked and it took everything Jaskier had not to break down and cry.
