Brief summaries of the verses I'm adding for Jaskier, AKOTSK and The Pitt

A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms

The youngest of five sons in House Pankratz, a House that is of no real particular note from some little fishing and pearling village on the west coast of the Riverlands. While his brothers were more than happy to take on the family business, Jaskier always found himself to be an outlier and never quite fit in with his brothers. He was far more interested in literature, music, and the arts than he ever was with learning knots and how to properly shuck an oyster (though he can do both with ease).

When he was in his early 20s, he left his home to pursue the life of a wandering minstrel, though at first he found himself unlucky in finding work, and traveling the road alone was very... lonely.

Eventually he found company with a white haired knight, of sorts, another wanderer along the road who had been sorely lacking company (or at least he thought so). He joined up with the grumpy man and his horse, following him to tourneys and becoming his herald.

The Pitt

Jaskier was the youngest in a family of lawyers. His father was a lawyer, his mother was a lawyer, and all four of his older brothers were also lawyers. Jaskier, however, played to the beat of a different drum and went to study medicine and nursing.

He is newly transferred from a small hospital up north that shut down because of federal funding cuts. At 36, he's been an ER nurse for about 9 years. He also plays guitar and keyboard in his off time, making music he is trying to release independently.

He works the midshift, specifically between 11am and 11pm, mostly so he can get off of work in time to go play midnight gigs at local clubs when he gets the chance.

JASKIER & REGIS 🤍

↳ THE WITCHER | 4.05 “The Joy of Cooking”

#toss a coin to your witcher; jaskier pankratz #companions; regis

@sanguineteetotaler asked

[INJURY]: sender gently tends to receiver's wounds, which leads to them kissing (doesn't have to be a kiss right at the start! i just loved the idea of Regis tending to Jaskier's injuries again 😊❤️)

The way that relationships and friendships evolved over time was something the bard always found fascinating. It was something that he had written about, and many other scribes and poets have written about through the years as well. Indeed, it was the driving force behind most epic stories.

When Jaskier had first met Regis, he had welcomed the barbar-surgeon's hospitality with grace and indulgence on the spirits he provided. Indeed, he was quite glad to have one more soul joining their motely crew on their quest to find Ciri. One more hand to help, and one who could tend to the inevitable wounds they would all likely suffer on the journey would be an incredible boon.

And then the reveal happened that Regis was a vampire and, much to his own shame, Jaskier was not so keen on his company. However, that did not last long, and the bard knew well enough that those others deemed 'monsters' were often the gentlest, kindest, most compassionate souls.

And so again, his perception of the vampire had changed once more, especially as he so effortlessly and freely shared his story, his wine, and his kindness and care. Such as how Regis was caring for him now, sewing up another wound on the bard, this one on his chest from where a Rusalka had gotten a good swipe at him before Geralt's sword had gotten the monster.

Now, Jaskier was trying desperately not to let on just how much Regis being this close, with the bard shirtless and chilled from the evening air, was actually affecting him. Or rather, quite how it was affecting him, as he felt his heart thrumming a bit faster while Regis spoke softly to him. They were away from the other's, in Jaskier's tent, and the poet decided to take advantage of their privacy and do something he had been thinking about doing for a little while now.

He leaned forward and pressed a kiss against Regis' lips, mid-sentence of the vampire's, but quickly pulled away with a little, nervous laugh, and quite a flush on his cheek.

"I'm... sorry. I don't know what compelled me to do that..."

altusofhousepavus-deactivated20

@dandiestbard

After his rescue, all had been a blurr. His recovery, the funeral of his father, his first sessions as a Magister. It had all been a fever dream and a welcomed distraction from the overwhelming things happening to him. Every night, he was silently speaking into the rock, giving his thoughts to his dear and cherist Inquisitor. One of the few comforts he had , now that he was up north. His mother was not talking to him, it was clear she probably would never do so, or find it in her to see him for what he was.

Minrathous was a cold city for someone hurt in his heart more than his body, but despite the danger, Dorian still found his way to Dock Town , to a tavern he knew so well in his youth. He sat down in the darkest and furthest booth, a cloak over his shoulders and head. A cane to help him walk. Despite his efforts to blind in, his clothes showed his health, he did not want to hide it, just not attract attention to him. Except for one, the attention of a certain bard, he hoped would perform after Cida Ciconia.

dandiestbard

Jaskier had known it to be foolish to think that anything could go back to what they had between them before. Still, he did not regret coming to help save Dorian from his predicament. He had done his best to keep a respectful distance from the Magister. He had not tried to call upon him or seek out his company, though he had sent him messages of well wishes and offers of support, should the Altus wish it.

But he did not push for anything more. Their reunion had been fragile to begin with, and he did not want it to break the delicate strings of reconnection that Jaskier desperately hoped had been strung.

So, when he stepped out on stage, he had not expected to see the Altus sitting there in the dark, as if not to attract any attention, but Jaskier could not miss his presence. He went on to perform his set, some sweet melodies of hope that Dorian would most certainly recognize, and a final song of mended heartbreak he had not yet debuted until that night.

After his set, he gave his appreciative bow and collected the coin tossed onto the stage for him, then made his way over to the bar to fetch himself a bottle of some fruity brandy. With bottle in hand, he then made his way over to the booth and slid into it across from Dorian.

"I must admit, I did not expect to see you here tonight..." Jaskier said casually, voice wavering on the edge of emotions he did not want revealed; hurt, relief, disappointment, but mostly concern.

"You look... are you well, Dorian?"
