The Eternal Goat

by laziestgirlintown

The jackdaws eating the Gävle Goat - the giant Swedish straw goat often arsoned before Christmas - became heroes of tumblr during the holiday season of 2023. I came across an excellent thread paraphrasing classic/well known poetry to support the birbs and happened to add to it. Mine's a paraphrase on Swedish poem Det eviga by Esaias Tegnér, a poem from 1810. Here in both languages.

Shining

by Nemainofthewater

Things that Jaskier can remember about his family:-His mother stroking his hair, the soft murmur of her voice as he settled more comfortably against her. There was firelight and warmth and love.-A brief moment of triumph and then the feeling of weightlessness as his father lifts him from the tree and cradles him to his chest. The steady rhythm of his heart in his breast.-Reaching up to the sky. He’s not sure what for. Possibly for his parents, though he knows that they are gone, that they have left him, that they are never coming back.-His grandfather’s stern visage. The knowledge that he doesn’t want him. That no one wants him. Being sent to temple school is honestly a relief. Jaskier is (unknowingly) a dragon and is (forcibly) adopted by Borch, post Rare Species.

The Heart Is A Muscle

by saturnsthirdeye

”Jaskier is sitting cross-legged on the grass, his face partially illuminated by the warm glow of the flames. His baby blue doublet shines in the light, and his eyes, a match, seem to almost glow with reflection. His musicians fingers are holding... flowers? Geralt peers closer, and sees that the clever bard is making a little wreath of dandelions. He looks... ethereal.”       Or: The one where Jaskier is fae, Geralt can’t connect the dots to save his life, and, with some help, the pair discover what it means to find your true family.

Destiny, Inescapable

by TheMalapert

After getting his heart broken on a wild goose chase of a dragon hunt, Jaskier - a dragon himself - never got the chance to tell his Witcher the truth. Honestly, he's glad because now he can disappear into the clouds and grant Geralt's stupid fucking blessing. Nilfgaard has other ideas. And like all of Jaskier's shittiest life events, those ideas end up including Yennefer of Vengerberg.

In the face of heartbreak, duty remains

by Teamironmanforever

“Nilfgaard,” Jaskier said finally after what felt like an eternity. “Nilfgaard is going to start a war,” he said, the meaning of Borch’s words slowly becoming more and more clear in his mind. “They’re going to head for Cintra.” The dragon frowned. “Why would that affect you?” “There is someone there who has become very precious to me and whose fate also happens to be tied to the witcher. If she’s in danger… then so will he,” Jaskier said as he stood up, the restless energy trying to suffocate him. “You said something about time… time is slipping… I am running out of time - but to do what?” He rounded on the Dragon, his eyes wild. “What did you see? What do I need to do?”----ORIt may have taken him 20 years, but Jaskier knows where he is not wanted. Now, armed with Borch's prophecy, Jaskier is faced with a choice; either walk away entirely and continue living his placid human life or return home, shed the human façade, retake his duties, protect Cirilla and likely run into the Wticher whose one request was for Jaskier to never cross his path again. He knows what the right choice is. What he doesn't know, however, is how much of him will be left by the time the dust settles.

Overwhelmed

by pherryt

The dragon hunt is over and it didn’t end anywhere near how anybody could possibly have expected, but at least Jaskier’s still by his side even if Borch is giving Geralt cryptic warnings that make him scared to let Jaskier out of his sight.He’s just about to write Borch’s warnings off as a worried imagination when Jaskier starts behaving strangely.

Scales of Destiny

by Hyrulehearts1123, sageclover61

“Damn it, Jaskier! Why is it whenever I find myself in a pile of shit these days, it's you, shoveling it? The Child Surprise, the djinn, all of it! If life could give me one blessing, it would be to take you off my hands.”It's the kind of thing most people would never even think to scream. But Geralt isn't most people. Despite his tendency for silence, it seems he's learned a thing or two about the value of using words that can hurt as much, no, more, than a silver sword to a monster's heart.But Jaskier, he's not going to stand there and take it. Not this time. He cares more about himself than that. Turns out accepting yourself for who you are will break any glamour.Geralt is just confused why there's a very angry and small dragon blasting fireworks in his face, but he deserves it.

i would like you to love me

by quiet_awkward

Jaskier’s soulmark says, in small, emboldened, sharp letters, I’m sorry.He doesn't know what they're apologizing for, but he's sure that no matter what it is, it can't be bad. Not when it means I love you.He's wrong.

Taming monsters (and inevitably failing)

by Comade

“If you're going to kill me, would you maybe consider doing it quickly? With no pain?” Jaskier winced as he scrambled backward a little, despite knowing he had no chance of escaping this beast if it decided to pounce on him. “Aim the jugular, right here, really easy."Alright, so maybe a piece of slate bread wasn't enough to tame a monster, but who could blame him for trying. Boredum had lowered his already non-existant survival instincts, and repressed anger had made him too proud to call for help. He'd rather blame this unfortunate encounter on Geralt. Do not ignore your bard during an entire dragon hunt and expect him to behave safely.
