    Summary

    “I’m comfortable, that’s the issue. The complacency is getting to me, makes me want to jump out of my own skin.”

    “Or maybe it’s the fact that you want him to know?” Elihal said, unimpressed. “In all fairness, I think this is the longest you’ve ever gone without prancing about that you’re ‘The Great Bard Jaskier’. I commend you, honestly.”

    Summary

    Jaskier is a second year student at Oxenfurt when he learns that his father is going to cut him off financially because of Jaskier's refusal to marry. With no other way to support himself and continue his studies, he decides to put his omega designation to use...by becoming a surrogate.

    Summary

    By some miracle (or disaster), Shani catches the last bit of the story, turning from where she was to march straight up to the two of them. “You’ll teach me how to make that today, won’t you? We’re already outside, so we can grab the herbs on our way back to the castle.”

    He’s not one to deny the girl when she’s passionate about her work, so with a sigh he agrees, making her call the others back for their meals.

    Summary

    After years of working at the Bureau of London Time Travel, Geralt is finally able to meet Jaskier outside of work.

    The thing is, Geralt can't stop meeting different, yet similar versions of Jaskier scattered throughout time, none of which remember his past lives or past meetings. They've been strangers, friends, and most recently, lovers. The last time they met in 1940 they had a disastrous break-up, and Geralt swore he'd never meet Jaskier again.

    Now, a 21st century Jaskier is determined to get to know Geralt, and while he would like nothing more, the ghosts of the past can’t seem to stop following him. The one thing Geralt knows for certain is that his boss, Vesemir, who half believes that there is a rogue time travel agency operating in the city, cannot find out about Jaskier in the present.

    Summary

    Jaskier laughs. “Yup. He refused for a month until I wore him down. As you noticed today, I’m good at picking things up, but it’s really matter of whether I want to learn it or not. Sword wasn’t much of a choice, but rather a necessity. I didn’t want what happened in Brokilon to happen again. He knew that, even if I never told him everything, not fully.”

    Geralt is quiet for a moment before he says, “He sounds like a good man.”

    Summary

    Jaskier recently started living on campus at Oxenfurt University. Studying liberal arts is his first step in becoming an artist. He struggles, not with his work, grade-wise, but concentrating has never proved harder when he sees his history professor for the first time.

    Geralt soon finds out that this might be, in the few years he's been teaching at Oxenfurt, the smartest student he's ever taught. He's as annoyed as he is impressed.

    Their bond grows when they set up a plan together to improve the academy's assessments.

    Neither of them expect their lives to become so complicated in the span of only a few months.

    Summary

    "I'm going to regret this, aren't I?" Jaskier asked, fidgeting with his bead necklace and staring at the open gates of Oxenfurt from a distance.

    "Hmmm," Geralt hummed.

    "Thank you, darling. Very insightful."

    "You're going to go there no matter what." Geralt shrugged.

    ****

    Oxenfurt was a busy place, filled with both bardic rivalry and friendships. A killer on the loose didn't make navigating the city and its intricacies any easier for Jaskier and Geralt.

    Summary

    It's been about a decade of traveling with Geralt now, and Jaskier already misses him as he watches him go down the path in the opposite direction.

    Too bad the RSS and Stregobor need a suitable specimen for their experiments--to create the next race of mutated humans, this time to be political pawns. Jaskier doesn't know it, but it will be much longer than one season until he sees Geralt again.

    Summary

    Jaskier's daughter is about to marry the love of her life, and she decides she wants both her parents at her wedding. Only problem is that Jaskier has slept with a little too many people in his youth, so the identity of the other parent is a mystery. That does not stop the bride-to-be from inviting three potential daddy candidates and unleashing absolute chaos in the process.

    Otherwise known as Jaskier's terrible horrible no good past decisions leading to terrible horrible no good outcomes. Also known as the Mamma Mia! AU nobody asked for, but I wrote it anyway.

    Summary

    Becoming a barman at a strip-club while completing his PhD was enough for Eskel to wrap his head around. He hadn't expected to fall in lust with one of the dancers during his first shift as well.

    Because it was Eskel, of course it was the cage dancer with the rather murderous facial expression.

    Summary

    It was early.

    The first greens of spring had just breached the wet thaw of Kaedweni winter. The wind, while calmed, still held her icy nip, and dredges of hard-packed snow, not quite anchored to the ground, nevertheless were frozen -- floating atop the grass in stiff, crumbling rafts. Long, oppressive nights still clung to the sky, and the surrounding ridges were yet prone to slumping avalanches of snowmelt on the unwary traveler -- not that there were any, outside the rare snow hare or witcher.

    So it was not only early, but distinctly and noticeably early (much to his brothers’ delight and his eternal chagrin), that Geralt of Rivia shook himself of his winter coat and began to pack.

    --or --
    Geralt leaves Kaer Morhen early to surprise his bard, gets anxiety about it, and ends up fighting off more than one creature in Oxenfurt to keep his friend safe.

    Summary

    Shortly after his graduation and not-so-willingly leaving the city-house inhabited by the Countess de Stael, Jaskier finds himself on the road with nothing but a bit of food in his pockets, a stolen bottle of wine and the lute on his back.
    As it turns out, he has a penchant not only for music but also for encountering Witchers.
    -
    Over the years, Dragon!Jaskier hoards Witchers instead of gold, stabs some people and falls in love along the way.

    Summary

    Ciri ricordava poco del suo arrivo a Oxenfurt, dopo che la nonna era morta. Tutto era offuscato dal dolore, in quei giorni, ma una cosa la ricordava benissimo: il giovane nel quadro, con la corona di ranuncoli gialli e il sorriso gentile.
    Sembrava un principe delle favole, o forse un pirata, con la camicia candida dalle maniche a sbuffo e le collane dorate che gli pendevano dal collo.
    - Ben arrivata, piccola principessa. - le aveva sorriso, l’unico tra i quadri a non guardarla con pietà al suo arrivo, a non chinarsi a spettegolare con il vicino di cornice.

     

    Jaskier ed Essi sono i suoi migliori amici, di questo Ciri ne è sicura.
    Il fatto che la sua mano attraversa quella di Essi quando prova a insegnarle a danzare e che Jaskier è confinato dentro la sua cornice non lo rendono certo meno reale.

    Summary

    Ciri remembered little of her arrival at Oxenfurt, after grandma’s death. Everything was blurry with grief, those days, but something she remembered well: the youth in the painting, with a crown of buttercups and a kind smile.
    He looked like a fairytale prince, or a pirate perhaps, with his white shirt with puffy sleeves and the golden necklaces dangling on his chest.
    “Well come, princess.” He had smiled, the only painting who hadn’t looked at her with pity, who hadn’t bent down to gossip in the neighbouring frame.

     

    Jaskier and Essi are her best friends, of that Ciri is sure.
    The fact that her hands goes through Essi's as she teaches her how to dance and that Jaskier is confined behind his frame don't make it any less true.
