Chapter 6 Teaser
“Jaskier!” Yennefer’s excited voice echoed down the hall.
Jaskier turned just as she swept around the corner, eyes bright, cheeks faintly flushed with triumph. Lambert was beside her, scowling as if joy had personally offended him.
“I figured it out!” Yennefer announced.
“We figured it out,” Lambert grumbled. But his gaze was proud.
Jaskier’s breath caught. For a moment, he forgot the buttons on his shirt entirely, “Dorn?” he asked.
Yennefer’s smile widened.
Chapter 5 Teaser
Genuinely one of my favorite chapters that I have written in this whole series and I am SO EXCITED for you to read it:
They had slept together, yes. Slept in the same bed. Geralt had listened to his heartbeat like it was a holy thing. But then, they had shared beds before. They had shared rooms and fires and food and silence for years before Jaskier had ever dared name what he wanted.
They had not made promises.
He had no right to feel this way.
It just felt—
Jaskier shut his eyes.
Geralt and Yennefer had Ciri together. They had history. They had magic and destiny and grief and decades of finding their way back into one another’s orbit. Maybe Jaskier coming back had only soothed an old wound. Maybe now that he was alive, some of the hurt between Geralt and Yennefer could finally settle.
Teaser Chapter 4
“Why don’t we want to make more witchers?” Aiden asked.
The hall went silent. The tension became so thick Jaskier could barely breathe.
Aiden grinned faintly. “Tough question, I know.”
“You want to subject someone else to the Grasses?” Lambert asked, incredulous.
“No,” Aiden said. “I am asking if it has to be the Grasses as we knew them. If the process could be changed, would it have to be so horrific?” He looked toward Yennefer, “We have had shit mages look at it. But New Aretuza mages? Witches who understand consent? Who explain what they are doing before the screaming?”
Teaser for Chapter 3 of A Broken Chord
Geralt’s voice haunted Jaskier’s every step for days afterward.
You cannot be the only thing keeping him sane.
Jaskier hated that Geralt was right. He hated it so much that he almost snapped at the next person who looked at him with anything resembling concern. If anyone had dared suggest he needed a break, the bard would have bitten their head off.
But in the privacy of his own mind, he could admit the truth.
He needed a break.
So, he was hiding. He was adult enough to admit that too.
Teaser for Chapter 2 for A Broken Chord
Loud pounding on the door jolted Jaskier awake. He startled hard, panic flashing bright and instant through his body before he understood where he was. Something was holding him down.
No.
Not something.
Geralt’s arm.
Not a strap. Not chains. Not a guard’s hand forcing him back to the table.
Geralt.
“Jaskier?” Aubry’s voice floated through the door. “Dorn is awake. He’s asking for you.”
It took Jaskier a few seconds to remember he was not in a cell. He was in Geralt’s room. The scent helped. Leather, steel, smoke, wolf. Home. Gold eyes watched him in the low light. Geralt’s arm loosened immediately, though he did not pull away. “You’re here.”
Jaskier let out a shaking breath, “I’m here.”

Jaskier survived the dark.
Now he has to live with what followed him out.

Broken Chord
Happy to say that I will be posting PART 2 of A Different Key (aka the sequel to Sound of Me) starting on MONDAY! The second part will be called Broken Chord.
If I counted correctly, it is 9 chapters, but it is just as long as the first one! Meatier chapters this time around. I still might write a mini epilogue to make it an even 10.

Also in typical me fashion I kept writing even though I said it would be done in 11 chapters. I still think this arch of the story will be done, but probably going to add onto the series!
Any inspiration/ideas for the title for the series, I am ALL EARS.

Chapter 1
Genuinely love this story and I am so happy to finally share it! I CRANKED this sucker out.
I had been toying with the idea of creating new witchers since my last story, and I wanted a version where Jaskier was changed, but couldn’t figure out how i wanted to put the pieces together.
But once I did... BOOM.
This will most likely end up being a series, the first arch in the first 11 chapters but it does NOT end in a cliff hanger.
Cannot wait to hear your thoughts :)

New Story Teaser
Ok finally writing again. Its been awhile. A new witcher fic. I kinda liked the idea of new witchers being made by Nilfgaard (I had rogue ones in my Kingdom Come stories).
So I am taking that nugget and RUNNING WITH IT LETS GOOO
Also I have been playing the game Witcher, so be prepared for in game references. its also totally fine if you haven't played it, you wont miss anything!
It's 70 pages and Jaskier hasn't even seen Geralt yet so its going to be a LONG ONE!
For reference my last fic, The Sand Piper's lament, was a little over 80 pages.
133 pages and 39k ish words lets gooooo. Going to make sure I reread for edits like 100 times but I plan to put up maybe later this week?? Or early next week.

Here’s the thing: authors know when they get a rec on an older story. There’s a telltale uptick of kudos (with a 10-15% comment rate if you’re lucky) in your digest email.
The thing is, there’s no way to know where these people are coming from. In the before, when fandom was more in the corners we all knew about, you could search LJ or a message board or whatever social bookmarking site we were using. You could join the community and participate.
You could get a little dopamine hit by seeing someone tell their friends why they loved your story.
Anymore, those recs are hidden in discords, or in tiktoks or instagram slideshows that you can’t search for. They’re inaccessible, not discoverable unless you’re already there. You may never know why 27 people left kudos on an old story of yours, what they liked and found in your writing. You just get the thumbs up and a kinda lonely feeling, cause these could be your people. You could like them, maybe. You could be friends.
But you’ll never find out why they stopped by, or what people are saying about you behind your back, and that’s sad.
So thank you to the people who still do public rec lists on this webbed site. You are my sunshine, and I’m appreciative of all of you.
If you are recced a fic and enjoyed it, leave a comment telling the author where you came from! We like to know!
I would love to know! It happens now and then and it's a lovely surprise!
