    Summary

    At this worst possible moment, a breathless, nervous giggle burst from him, but the line about at least buying him dinner first died on his lips as the witcher snarled and Jaskier felt a teeny, unusual twinge of genuine fear.

    "Get in the way one more time-" Geralt ground out each syllable in turn, pinning him to the bark with his glare as much as his fist "-and I will leave you at the next inn for good."

    ~

    Desperate not to be left behind, Jaskier keeps a dangerous secret.

    Summary

    In which Jaskier gets kidnapped - a lot. That's it, that's the plot.

    A 5+1 of sorts, in which Jaskier is the damsel in distress for various reasons (while being feral as heck), and Geralt tries his best to help.

    Summary

    Geralt realizes, quite suddenly, that Jaskier is aging. He desperately asks the mages for any possible solution, something that could make Jaskier not so terribly mortal, and he finds his answer in an old elven ritual. Geralt decides to use this on Jaskier and himself. He can share his slow aging with Jaskier, and he won’t have to lose the person who, aside from Ciri, might be most important to him.

    He just has to make sure that Jaskier doesn’t figure out that they are, technically, getting married.

    Summary

    Even as the weeks passed and the initial shock of the mountain dismissal began to dull, he’d reopen his wounds anew each day. He’d turn to tell Geralt a funny anecdote, or he’d ask the barmaid for an apple with his dinner before remembering that there was no horse to sneak it to. The pain he’d felt as a child was massive and overwhelming and horrific, but it was contained to that moment in time. This heartbreak, this agony was always fresh. It flayed him open every day, in ways both expected and unexpected, and there was nothing he could do to escape it. It was death by a thousand cuts, except he didn’t die.

    So when he cleared his throat between songs in some tavern in Murivel and felt something fly up into his mouth, then spat a tiny golden petal into his palm, he couldn’t help but laugh. He laughed long and hard, tears gathering at the corners of his eyes. He finally calmed himself enough to catch his breath, let the petal fall to the floor, and continued his set.
