Stand Alone Fics
If You Ask Me For My Fire (T, 50,057 words) - Jaskier has a secret, one he planned to take to his grave. He has fire magic, something he has been told repeatedly will be the end of him. Fearing for his life, he runs from everything he knows and remakes himself as a bard. It’s a plan that works well until Yennefer uncovers the truth and asks him to join her at the battle of Sodden. A last resort plan to stop Nilfgaard from taking the North. Neither are prepared for the price it will exact, the loss of their magic and purpose, nor for the demon sinking her talons into them both for her own gain.
I'd Burn So Bright It Blinded (T, 16,969 words, incomplete) - While still held captive by Rience, the mage presses his flaming hand to Jaskier's face, burning his flesh and blinding him in one eye. Yennefer rescued him before further damage could be done to his hands, but without her chaos, she was unable to heal him. Between being arrested, dragged half-way across the continent by the very man who broke his heart and charged with escorting Princess Cirilla to Kaer Morhen, Jaskier doesn't even get a chance to so much as look at the injury until after the battle against Voleth Mier several days later. Now all alone in the nearly empty keep, he's left to pick up the shattered pieces of himself.
I Do My Best To Breathe (G, 3,364 words) - No one is there to catch Yennefer as she stumbles away from the portal. She falls to the ground and stays there as she tries to process everything that just happened. No one could blame her for not realising sooner that the hall was too quiet. The bard was nowhere to be seen in the aftermath of the battle.
So My Company Can Suffice (G, 3,547 words) - It had been over a week since Voleth Meir's attack and subsequent banishment, but still Jaskier found no peace. Sleep only brought nighmares, memories of the fire mage and the stench of his burning flesh. Instead of pretending to even try, he passes the nights by sitting in the hall, wishing he could get warm by the fire, utterly alone. That was until Yenenfer joined him one night.
My Head's Not Yours It's Mine (T, 56,832 words) - Geralt has found his child surprise, the former Princess of Cintra. Very quickly he realises they're in danger from Nilfgaard. Knowing they won't stop until they have what they're after, Geralt takesCiri and flees north. On their way, he searches for any signs of his old friends, fearing they too are in danger. In a cell in Novigrad, he finds Jaskier who seems all too happy to join them on the journey to Kaer Morhen.
As days on the road turn to weeks, Geralt can't help but realise that something is wrong with Jaskier. He avoids talking about the things they did together, he doesn't sing, he's tired all the time. The worst is when Geralt catches him with a horrible vacant look in his eyes, like his mind had fled somewhere far away and his body had just been left behind.
A Lonely Aftermath (T, 3,095 words) - Jaskier wasn't blind. It was clear to see there was no place for him in Kaer Morhen. He had fully intended on heading back down the mountain as soon as possible, but nothing was ever simple. Instead he ended up hiding away in his room away from everyone else while he tried to deal with a potentially lethal injury by himself.
It's a good thing then that Yennefer regained her magic and comes to check on him.
The Sandpiper's Demise (T, 15,610 words) - Jaskier doesn't want to wait for Geralt to tell him to leave. He takes matters into his own hands and heads back to Oxenfurt to resume his role as the Sandpiper. At least there he can be of some use to someone. Unfortunately, he's not as good at watching his back as he likes to think and ends up running into trouble with a gang who are none too happy about his work at the docks.

This is as much a suprise to him as it is to Geralt, only finding out when his old glamour, a ring, gets stolen and he;s forced to shift into his draconic form.

Except no matter how hard he tries, it keeps backfiring.
