Based on that Olivia Cook interview where she said she can’t distinguish between any of Rhaenyra’s son + Aegon forgetting Lucerys name, i have this theory that none of the Greens know all of their names:
Aegon only knows Jacaerys
Aemond only knows Lucerys
Alicent knows their names but has no idea which is which
Heleana forgets about their existence most of the time
Otto calls them Strong boy number 1 and Strong boy number 2
Criston refused point blank to ever learn their names
Daeron never even meet them and believe that Strong is their actual name. No one ever corrected him
The second chapter of The Thankful One is posted here on Ao3
1st chapter's link here
Summary:
Thank you were words witchers had learnt not to expect from humans. Their training at Kaer Morhen, from the studies of books to older witchers' anecdotes about the Path, had ensured it.
Of course, none of the humans mentioned - during training, in the bestiaries and history books, by the centuries of countless witchers that preceded - had been Jaskier.
And, of course, when Jaskier spoke the words for the first time, and meant them, Geralt wished he had never. Because having Jaskier's gratitude for saving his life over and over again... wasn't the satisfaction Geralt had believed it'd be, once.
Serendipity, the 3rd chapter, is posted here on Ao3.
Jaskier and Geralt see each other again - and it's a pleasant surprise for both of them (more surprising for Jaskier than for Geralt but, then again, he hadn't asked)
It is said that the most blazing lights cast the darkest shadows around them, and Jaskier…
Jaskier intends to shine the brightest.

Jaskier’s last term at the Academy is about to begin. Head full of music, dreams and ambitions, and fresh from his messy - but definite this time - break up with Valdo, he meets Geralt at a tavern, one evening.
The rest, as it turns out, is about to make history.

In master Ronan’s household, Jaskier is a born entertainer and Geralt is the newly-bought, grim-faced gladiator who just caught his eye. Usually, bards - and whatever else he’s asked to be - don’t bother with gladiators. They sleep a floor below them, spend their days training and most die in the arena.
No one should look like that at a party thrown in their honor, though.

Or Jaskier helps Geralt get his freedom back. They fall in love in the meantime.

It's a book/game Gerlion dynamic (but Jaskier's named Jaskier because that's how I knew him, reading the books), what if they met at Oxenfurt while the both of them studied there for a winter.

Lyrics and personal translation under the cut
À dix-huit ans j'ai quitté ma province
Bien décidé à empoigner la vie
Le cœur léger et le bagage mince
J'étais certain de conquérir Paris
At eighteen, I left the country behind,
Determined to seize life
With a light heart and a lighter baggage
Sure I’d conquer Paris / the city
Chez le tailleur le plus chic j'ai fait faire
Ce complet bleu qu'était du dernier cri
Les photos, les chansons et les orchestrations
Ont eu raison de mes économies
In the most upscale tailor I had made
This blue ensemble that was the trendiest
Pictures, songs and orchestration
Got the better of my coin
Je m'voyais déjà en haut de l'affiche
En dix fois plus gros que n'importe qui mon nom s'étalait
Je m'voyais déjà adulé et riche
Signant mes photos aux admirateurs qui se bousculaient
J'étais le plus grand des grands fantaisistes
Faisant un succès si fort que les gens m'acclamaient debout
Je m'voyais déjà cherchant dans ma liste
Celle qui le soir pourrait par faveur se pendre à mon cou
I already saw myself in the spotlight
Ten times bigger than anyone else was my name spread out
I already saw myself idolized and wealthy
Signing autographs to the hustling crowd of admirers
I was the greatest of the great fantasists
So successful that people gave me standing ovations
I already saw myself pick up in my list
The one who by favor, at night, would hang at my arm
Mes traits ont vieilli, bien sûr, sous mon maquillage
Mais la voix est là, le geste est précis et j'ai du ressort
Mon cœur s'est aigri un peu en prenant de l'âge
Mais j'ai des idées, j'connais mon métier et j'y crois encore
My features turned old, of course, under my makeup
But the voice is strong, the move swift and I have resources
My heart turned a tad sour as I aged
But I have ideas, I know my craft and I still believe
Rien que sous mes pieds de sentir la scène
De voir devant moi un public assis, j'ai le cœur battant
On m'a pas aidé, je n'ai pas eu de veine
Mais au fond de moi, je suis sûr au moins que j'ai du talent
Merely feeling the stage under my feet
Seeing before me the sitting audience, my heart pounds
I never got any help, I never got any luck
But, deep down, at least I’m sure that I’m talented
Mon complet bleu, y a trente ans que j'le porte
Et mes chansons ne font rire que moi
J'cours le cachet, je fais du porte à porte
Pour subsister je fais n'importe quoi
My blue ensemble, I’ve been wearing it for thirty years
And my songs only make me laugh
I chase any work, I knock on every door
To survive I do anything
Je n'ai connu que des succès faciles
Des trains de nuit et des filles à soldats
Les minables cachets, les valises à porter
Les p'tits meublés et les maigres repas
I’ve only known easy successes
Poor transportation and soldier’s girls
Little coin, no attendant,
Ratty rooms and meager meals
Je m'voyais déjà en photographie
Au bras d'une star l'hiver dans la neige, l'été au soleil
Je m'voyais déjà racontant ma vie
L'air désabusé à des débutants friands de conseils
J'ouvrais calmement les soirs de première
Mille télégrammes de ce Tout-Paris qui nous fait si peur
Et mourant de trac devant ce parterre
Entré sur la scène sous les ovations et les projecteurs
I already saw myself in picture
On the arm of a celebrity, winter in snow, summer under the sun
I already saw myself talking about my life
World-weary to newbies awaiting my tips
Calmly opening on premiere nights
A thousand telegrams from the whole Paris that’s so intimidating
And dying of nerves before this audience
Stepping on stage under the cheers and spotlight
J'ai tout essayé pourtant pour sortir du nombre
J'ai chanté l'amour, j'ai fait du comique et de la fantaisie
Si tout a raté pour moi, si je suis dans l'ombre
Ce n'est pas ma faute mais celle du public qui n'a rien compris
I tried everything to stand out of the crowd
I sang love, did comedy and fantasy
If everything failed for me, if I’m still in the shadows
It’s not me, it’s the public who understood nothing
On ne m'a jamais accordé ma chance
D'autres ont réussi avec peu de voix et beaucoup d'argent
Moi j'étais trop pur ou trop en avance
Mais un jour viendra je leur montrerai que j'ai du talent
People never gave me my shot
Others succeeded with a poor voice and lots of money
Me, I was too pure, or too ahead of my time
But the day will come I’ll show them I do have talent
I posted the first chapter of a new Geraskier fic. You can find the Ao3 link here
It's a gladiator AU, has forbidden love and a happy ending. Major warning for implied/referenced non-con (not between Geraskier), so be aware of the tags.
Thank you were words witchers had learnt not to expect from humans. Their training at Kaer Morhen, from the studies of books to older witchers’ anecdotes about the Path, had ensured it.
Of course, none of the humans mentioned - during training, in the bestiaries and history books, by the centuries of countless witchers that preceded - had been Jaskier.
And, of course, when Jaskier spoke the words for the first time, and meant them, Geralt wished he had never. Because having Jaskier’s gratitude for saving his life over and over again… wasn’t the satisfaction Geralt had believed it’d be, once.

A message interrupts Ciri’s war meeting and throws Geralt’s entire world out of its axis.
It shouldn’t have surprised him; it comes from Jaskier.
