    Summary

    Julian’s childhood is a nice one. He’s allowed to do anything — as long as it's out of sight of his father — and there’s books and music and the garden.

    And then he is given away to a witcher.
    ─────────────────
    Or in which Jaskier is a witcher, who returns to the Path after two decades of being just a bard

    Summary

    Contrary to popular belief, Witchers weren't heartless monsters. They still had their emotions, no matter how hard rumors tried to say otherwise. They were muted, yes, but were very much still there. They still felt joy, anger, hope, frustration, guilt.
    Geralt had been feeling quite a lot of guilt as of late.

    or

    five times Geralt helped Jaskier in some way, and one time Jaskier helped Geralt

    Summary

    Geralt had never thought too much about what Jaskier did for a living, never believed it worth considering, but when Jaskier is cursed and loses the use of his hands for as long as the curse lasts, he offers to play the lute for him so that Jaskier can still perform. How hard could it be to learn to play, anyway?

    In learning the lute, Geralt also learns more about Jaskier, and realises he has never truly seen him, and now that Geralt sees him clearly, realises how much he threw away before he ever truly realised he had it. Because Jaskier may have forgiven him for what he said on the mountain, but there was no way that after that Jaskier could ever see him as anything other than an old friend.

    Summary

    "Let's go to Kaer Morhen for the winter," Jaskier mocks breathlessly. "It won't be as exciting as last year. We'll rest and recuperate, you said. A moment of peace, you said." Passed out against Jaskier's shoulder, Geralt does not answer. "We could have portaled in. Yennefer and Ciri are portaling to Kaer Morhen in a few weeks time but no. Geralt, oh Geralt hates portals! So we're going to walk up the fucking mountain during a fucking snowstorm."

    Jaskier drags an unconscious Geralt up the mountain towards Kaer Morhen, cursing all the while. It takes a few days, some stitches and a fever (and stealing some of Lambert's ale) but eventually they do get a few moments of peace.

    Summary

    It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.

    But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.

    (how ilya learns about shane's food allergies) (and how shane learns what it's like to have someone who always saves him a seat at the table) (and who also makes sure there's food he can eat on the table to start with)
