Crossroads

Wordcount: 1445 / 1406 on a03
Notes: largely unbetaed, old as fuck

Summary:

Excerpt:

He looks so young, he thinks. “How old are you, again?” Geralt asks, the question out of his mouth before he can think better of it. [...] “I’ll be nineteen next spring,” he says, in a tone that implies I’m old enough to travel the world with a monster killer, thank you very much. Geralt doesn’t even remember being nineteen.

Notes: written for śmiech! Thanks for being so patient ;;

Summary:
Jaskier and Geralt are in a relationship. While Geralt does have feelings for Jaskier, he struggles to think about sex as anything other than something transactional. What else could a witcher like him offer to someone like Jaskier, after all?

Excerpt:

Not much changes between them: the witcher kills monsters; the bard sings. But also: they fuck.

Summary:

Excerpt:

Jaskier wrapped his hand around Geralt’s forearm, trying to fit it into the mark Eskel had left. The other witcher’s hands were so much bigger than his. “Well, of course,” he mused. “This is more about remembering the feeling, isn’t it? Having something to remind us of him when he’s not here.”

Notes: Entry for the Fisstech & Succubi exchange.

Summary:
Eskel is invited to winter in Corvo Bianco by Geralt, whom he hasn't seen since the battle in Kaer Morhen. A happy reunion, despite old wounds and painful memories. Featuring: two nosy vampires and a busy majordomo.

Excerpt:

They were embracing before they knew they had moved towards each other, laughing in each other’s necks. Eskel smelled like sweat and travel, like dust and rain, and he was in Geralt’s home. There was a hysterical, manic edge to their laughter, but neither of them pointed it out, and Regis seemed to have disappeared in thin air like he was wont to do sometimes, so they kept laughing and clutching at each other.

Notes: My entry for Imbolc for the witcher wheel of the year event.

Summary:
It begins with Geralt picking up a doll. Childhoods are lost and denied; princesses are monsters, and monsters are princesses. Agency is questioned. Family is found.

Excerpt:

He let himself slip into a light meditation, memories of a bare childhood washing over him as the fire kept consuming the corpses in the pile. Vesemir had always pretended not to see the playthings that made it in the dormitory while Geralt and Eskel were under his care, but he’d never treated them like children. Every evening they went to bed black and blue with bruises, crying with fatigue and frustration. And yet they were fond memories—the only childhood he had known.

Summary:
Yennefer asks Geralt to fetch a rare ingredient for her. Geralt gets badly hurt and a very angry Jaskier drags him to the sorceress's house so she can heal him. The witcher is saved. Two enemies find out they have more in common they think.

Excerpt:

She could handle being jealous—she could understand jealousy; but that irrational irritation towards a man that appeared to be using Geralt for his own gain, just to become famous, told unspeakable things about her own feelings towards the witcher, and it was intolerable.

Summary:
Eskel finds Geralt in Jaskier's company in the last inn before the path to Kaer Morhen. He comes in for a good-natured session of teasing, he stays for a difficult conversation. After fifty years of dead ends, they finally find an exit route.

Excerpt:

Geralt scraped the bottom of his plate with his spoon and sighed. “What did I tell you, Jaskier?”

Jaskier smiled. “Not to bring up the sex thing with Eskel.” He touched the inside of Geralt’s wrist with a finger, dipping slightly under the sleeve. “And what did I tell you, Geralt?”

“That you were going to do it anyway. You could’ve waited after dinner.”

Eskel shook his head, using his sleeve to mop up the ale that dribbled from his mouth. “That’s not the kind of embarrassing story about our childhoods I hoped to reminisce about.”

Summary:
Geralt comes back from a hunt absolutely covered in shit. Some hair-cutting needed. Purring happens, mortification ensues. Expectations are met.

Excerpt:

Human Alphas didn’t purr for their packmates. They didn’t purr for other Alphas. They actually didn’t purr much at all, because it was an omega thing—and even the omegas, they reserved it for their partners, for their mates, for their Alphas. Even knowing that Jaskier didn’t have a shame bone in his body, and that he had bedded other Alphas, often and with pleasure, Geralt couldn’t ask that of him, not without compromising their fellowship. He couldn’t think about Jaskier refusing. He couldn’t think about scaring him off.

Notes: partecipa alla maritombola di landedifandom per il prompt 27: sala del trono

Summary:
Geralt accompanies Jaskier to a banquet with the promise of stopping him before he crosses a line. Success in this endeavor is questionable - but Geralt gets his reward anyway.

Excerpt:

“My saviour,” Jaskier said, swooning dramatically half against the wall and half against Geralt’s chest. “Half of those people know my parents, I would’ve never lived it down. It’s bad enough that I became a bard, in their eyes—I’m pretty sure they know I’m also a promiscuous slut, but there’s no need to rub it in their faces that way.”

Geralt carefully propped the lute on its side against the wall, so that it couldn’t flop down and break, and caught the swooning bard just in time, rolling his eyes at his dramatics. “Don’t you always say that you don’t care about what your parents think of you?”

“Absolutely,” Jaskier said, absently playing with the buttons of Geralt’s doublet. Then he looked up with a mischievous grin. “Which is why I’m giving you your reward for saving me right here.”

Summary:
Lambert and Aiden are on a hunt together. Lambert gets sliced up by a cockatrice and Aiden patches him up. Uncomfortable conversations are had, and unexpected feelings are revealed.

Excerpt:

“A little bestiary fact for you, Aiden—do you know why they’re called cockatrices? Because the guy who discovered them called them cocksuckers and someone made a mistake while transcribing it—”

“You say that every single time we take down a cockatrice, Lamb, and it wasn’t funny the first time,” Aiden told him, only half listening to him.

Summary:

Geralt accidentally finds out that his travelling companion loves being pinned to the bed--and Jaskier's scent tells him something else, too. Sex happens (a lot) and feelings are discussed (a little).

Excerpt:

Slowly, Geralt moves so he’s pinning both of Jaskier’s wrists with just one hand, balancing more of his weight forward and lowering himself over his body. He licks his lips, tentative; he sees Jaskier watch his mouth, the blue of his eyes getting thinner as his pupils dilate and the lust-scent grows thicker.

Geralt touches his hand to his face and closes the distance between them, crashing their lips together.

What if Geralt had kidnapped Ciri when she was four months old, and accidentally involved Jaskier in the whole baby-rearing thing? Or also: the one Geralt and Jaskier spend the winter watching baby Ciri grow, travel half the Continent and fail to part from each other.

Excerpt:

Geralt was a wonder to watch. He made faces at her so she could try and mimic him, he guided her little hands over the textured fabrics of Jaskier’s fancy outfits he’d graciously lent them just for this very exercise, and the more he made Ciri laugh, the softer his smiles became. Jaskier was completely addicted to the way his whole face lit up in wonder when she did something new or unexpected.

“Why, thank you. What else?”

“You’re a sincere friend and a loyal companion,” Geralt continued, sober and quieter. “I know I told you before, but I’m really glad you’re still alive, Regis. When I saw you die like that—” His voice cracked and he stopped talking.

“Shall I tell you what made me like you, Geralt of Rivia?” Regis murmured.

Notes: giveaway prize for bottomboybye

Summary:
It's Geralt's birthday. Jaskier and Yennefer decide to do something nice for him.

Excerpt:

The room smelled like dried herbs and warm pastries, like the bakeries he sometimes visited when he stopped in town to get a bite after a particularly difficult hunt, and it was gently filling with steam from the bath. Petals floated on the surface of the water, and lit, fat candles were clustered at the corners of the basin.

Yennefer, wrapped in a sheer bathrobe that didn’t do anything to hide her gorgeous body, was carefully arranging something on the side, while Jaskier, the sleeves of his airy, open shirt rolled up to show off his toned forearms, was pouring oils in the water.

Summary:
Geralt takes too many potions. Luckily, Jaskier is there to help.

Excerpt:

“Okay,” Jaskier said, even they weren’t even skirting the vaguest definition of okay. He watched as Geralt hacked up another mouthful of gross, acidic liquid. “What about the vomiting?”

“Too many potions. I miscalculated,” he admitted.

“Okay,” Jaskiser repeated. He felt oddly calm, as the helplessness washed over him. The leather of Geralt’s gear was full of tiny slashes, shiny with blood. “You’re—bleeding quite a lot.”

“That’s—the point. Helps my odds if I get hurt while I’m fighting in a small space and I bleed all over my opponent—”

“Geralt,” Jaskier squeaked. “I’d love to discuss witcher fighting strategies with you, but not while it looks like you’re going to die.”

Geralt and Jaskier get drunk and fall in bed together.

Excerpt:

The kiss is like a sip of water, sweet and cool on parched lips, and Jaskier’s mouth is soft and pliant against his, tasting like the honey cakes he swiped from the kitchen earlier while the cook wasn’t looking. Geralt can smell his arousal in the sweat building in the hollow of his throat, can hear every flutter of his quickening pulse drowning out the pouring rain pattering on the rooftop.

Excerpt:

“This is different.” Geralt looked down, hands falling away from Jaskier’s waist. “I changed my mind, this isn’t safe. I shouldn’t have—”

“Hang on, hang on,” Jaskier interrupted him, catching him by the wrists. “Of course it’s safe. I’ve seen you doing it to multiple people—and horses. You wouldn’t put Roach in danger, would you? If this was truly dangerous—”

“This is not a joke,” Geralt growled, “and I don’t make a habit of using Axii on people to stick my dick into them.”

Geralt is always the quiet type, but it's when that weird type of quiet that Jaskier gets worried.

Excerpt:

Geralt had been weirdly quiet when Jaskier had fallen sick with a fever and he’d been forced to nurse him back to health. He hadn’t realized the witcher hadn’t been sleeping because of it until days later, when he finally felt better and could take a bath by himself, and upon re-entering the room he’d found Geralt curled up on the floor next to his saddlebags, a change of clothes clutched to his chest like a child would a favorite toy.
