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 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
Most people hold baggage. It's natural to carry around the worst of your life with you. But Jaskier was taught to shed all that darkness, and only carry the light with him. As a bard, he did so, willingly, refusing to let the anguish of his life haunt him on his journeys. So when his painful past comes back to bite him on the ass, he must face it head-on, but this time not alone.

Summary
Jaskier the Bard does his best to change people's minds about witchers with his songs.
Professor Pankratze does his best to impart everything he has learned on to his students. Whether social injustice has anything to do with the musical theory and composition classes he teaches is irrelevant.
His students are far more attentive than he ever could've hoped.
Or: Five times Professor Pankratze's students step up to help a witcher when no one else will. And one time it's the other professors who take up the task.

Summary
“And now,” Jaskier announced, after he’d sung a number of songs and the other musicians had given their solo performances, “I’ll be closing the night with a rousing ballad—one that’s become quite a fan favorite of mine in recent years.”
He began plucking the strings of his lute in something of a melancholic tone. Giddy whispers went through the room. And he began to sing:
“I hear… you’re alive. How… disappointing.”
At the end of the line, Jaskier’s voice was scarce more than a whisper, and like gravel besides. Geralt closed his eyes.
“I’ve also survived, no thanks to you.”
He knew what this was.

After defeating the aeschna in the Pontar Delta and disembarking in Oxenfurt, Geralt chooses an inn to stay in, unaware that a certain bard, who he last saw ten years prior, would be playing there that evening.

Summary
Geralt keeps reading over his shoulder, wrapping his free arm over Dandelion’s back. He smells like sweat and sleep and a little bit of that fancy hair oil he likes, and Geralt enjoys every moment of it. They are close and comfortable, that is until Dandelion grows restless, shifting and pressing harder against him, and huffing.
“What do you need?” Geralt asks gently when Dandelion doesn’t settle, putting his book to the side to stroke his hands over his back, his sides, his legs.
“Not close enough,” Dandelion murmurs into his neck. “May I…? I’m still loose.”Or; how to be closer and closer still, a love story

Summary
Once the room was unlocked, Jaskier set down his purchases and ripped open the letter while toeing off his boots. A grin spread across his face as he read the note’s contents.
"Good news?" Geralt guessed.
"Perfectly-timed good news, my dear witcher," Jaskier said slyly. He spun about with a clap and a catlike smile. "I have just received a request for my entertainment services for this season's elite boudoir cabaret, which takes place in four days time."
"A sex party?" Geralt asked, his brows raised.
"The best sex party in the north." Jaskier winked. "Do you want to come with me?"
"Fuck it. Yeah, why not?”
------
Geralt and Jaskier go to a sex party and have deep, impactful, emotional realizations.

Summary
While Geralt is busy – accidentally – becoming Warlord, Julian is born amongst fear and whisper of war, screaming and crying. His future is bleak, he knows that, so he let himself be Julek while he runs in the streets of Lettenhove. Just another child, no one important, and decidedly not Julian son of The Viscount.
This change things. Not everything. Jaskier will arrive at Kaer Morhen knowing his family gave him up without a second thought, and absolutely sure that the dreaded Warlord of the North will value him even less than his own blood did.
However, he doesn’t need the Warlord to value him and he has every reason to fear him. Not because the Witcher must be a monster – anyone can be a monster these days – but because he has too much to protect. And he will. No matter the cost.Or
"Jaskier came home one day and asked a question who changed the path of the ones he called family.
Oxenfurt went to war to protect life and save hope four months later."Series

Summary
Upon returning to his alma mater whilst his wolf wintered in Kaer Morhen, Jaskier could hardly wait to spend long cold nights laughing with his closest friends from school and bright, sunny days instructing the newest generation of talented young bardlings Oxenfurt housed.
Everything was going splendidly, right up until Jaskier’s one true enemy, Valdo Marx, decided he would also be wintering at Oxenfurt.
Nevertheless, Jaskier resolved himself to have an excellent season. He was sure nothing too catastrophic could go wrong in one short winter, no matter how unpleasant the company may be.
(*Narrator voice* : Everything went catastrophically wrong almost immediately -and the company was indescribably unpleasant-, but then again, what’s a little unadulterated hatred between friends?)

Summary
Jaskier, the brilliant student of Oxenfurt Academy, has to learn to live with his disability, of the mental kind. Luckily, his best friend, Shani is there to help him deal with depression, mania, and all the frustrations entailed.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Am I broken?" Jaskier asks sullenly before his voice hitches. "Will this get… Worse? Take over my soul?"
"No, it shouldn't. And you aren't broken, love. Just... Different." she cracks a shy smile. "Tell me, are there any other times, or situations, or triggers that make you… Get lost in your head, trapped in melancholy?"
"I… Yes, sometimes. When things don't go my way, the blunders and negativity just pile up. Bury me. Takes me days to get back to normal. I just push through it, like everyone else does… Or do they?"
"Some do, yes. But it's not—"she has tried to avoid this term "— healthy. Luckily, you're not alone", she grins with what she hopes comes off as warmth and camaraderie. "We will get your brain to cooperate with you and your hefty goals, Mister Bard of the Century-to-be!"

Summary
"At the risk of sounding like I'm trying to seduce you, which I am definitely not," Jaskier says, holding up a finger before gesturing the cloth at her. "Would you like a hand? Simply so that you can fully relax without having to exert yourself any further."
His voice softens slightly, like he's truly concerned about her. It, in turn, softens her. Rather than reject his offer with a witty remark about being perfectly capable of washing herself, she considers him. He's going to risk his life in a few hours to help her, yet here he is, still offering more.
She nods. "Alright."
*
Or in other words, Yennefer and Jaskier take that bath together in Oxenfurt.

So, Geralt gains a traveling companion.
A companion and a half, to be exact.
⚘⚘⚘
Geralt meets a young, pregnant omega who makes him question everything he's ever known.
It would be a lot easier to leave him behind if Geralt wasn't already in love with him.

Summary
Yennefer gives Jaskier a ring of seeming-death to protect him from interrogation at the hands of Nilfgaard and it goes horribly wrong. Not because of tragic misunderstandings, but because Jaskier absolutely cannot be trusted with this literal plot device.
“In my defense, I figured it would be really hard for that woman’s husband to follow through with his threats to kill me if I was already dead...”
“Well of course I used it to help those girls get away from their families, Yennefer. They were star crossed lovers, it’s what you DO…”
“Oh but Yennefer, the LOOK on Valdo’s face when he thought I’d actually DIED from how awful his latest poem was…!” -

Summary
Geralt has been a 'maid' at Vesemir's café for a solid few years, and he's had enough stupid flings with still experimenting sorcerers to not consider one again. Life is boring, as much as it can be for him. Almost hollow.
And then, enter Jaskier. Endlessly optimistic, hellbent on knowing more about Geralt, the café, and the family. Also definitely not quite who he seems to be, but no one is.
