when I’m done w the daemon AU the next thing I want to write is an AU involving immortal!Jaskier and idk if I’ll get to this in the fic but I’m love the idea of Yennefer finding out that Jaskier is immortal and him flat out refusing to explain why. & instead just dropping steadily weirder and weirder hints. Geralt would help her out but he promised Jaskier he would keep his secret and he takes promises very seriously.
Yennefer: *refers to an event that was like a thousand years ago*
Jaskier: *correcting her on the details*
Yennefer: what would you know?
Jaskier: I was there :3
Yennefer: …….how OLD are you??
Geralt: I think he’s stopped keeping count
Jaskier: I think it’s bold of you to assume I was ever keeping count in the first place… there’s not really any point when you’re going to live basically forever
Yennefer: say WHAT
*
Jaskier: I’m not immune to swords but I AM invulnerable to poison.
Yennefer: why
Jaskier: well technically everyone is invulnerable to poison if you know how
Yennefer: excuse me??
*
Someone: *refers to a historical war*
Jaskier, much too quickly: that was NOTHING to do with me.
Yennefer: what did you do.
Jaskier: and even if it was I don’t feel I should be held responsible for things I did in the bodies I had before this one
Yennefer: wait what
Jaskier: some of them were asshole bodies and I shouldn’t be held responsible for that
Yennefer: what????
*
Jaskier: well places to be *teleports away*
Yennefer: has he always been able to do that???
Geralt: *deep sigh* apparently.
Yennefer: tell me the truth
Jaskier: I make no promises
Yennefer: did you steal that body from someone?
Jaskier: what?? no. they make bodies for us special.
Yennefer: …
Yennefer:
Jaskier: anyway I can’t hang around here all day, I have a job to do *wanders off*
Yennefer: he has a job?
Geralt: yes
Yennefer: is it… an important job?
Geralt: that depends on your point of view
Yennefer: why. why are you doing this to me.
1 very big clue. about what Jaskier is in this AU. in the inevitable (bcos Jaskier runs his mouth constantly let’s be real) event that she finds out what his ‘job’ is, Yennefer is FURIOUS. oh she is big mad. he teleports out of there immediately to avoid her Wrath. & leaves Geralt to explain that he did not do what she thinks he did, honest.
i got the idea for the AU from this gif if that is any help.
@faslaidir Is…is Jaskier a Cupid?
yup!!
he caused some sort of romeo and juliet thing, didn’t he? intended it to be a uniting of the two kingdoms but instead both the love sick teenagers died and their kingdoms went to war over it.
p much… he was like ‘what do you mean these two young people who are clearly into each other can’t be together for political reasons… what bullshit… I will just,,, give them a little nudge… get them to act on their feelings… what could possibly go wrong.’
(a major war is what as it turns out)
