#bard geralt

[zoebeeeeeeeee]

The great and wonderful @michelledixart made these lovely clothes for Jaskier that I pulled from for these designs

So, Wither!Jaskier and Bard!Geralt. I can see Geralt being a bard along the lines of Willy Shakes, meaning more poet and writer then doing any actual singing. Jask is really friendly for a Witcher, that is, if you get past the actual wither part and talk to him. That is to say Geralt asked Jaskier for stories, Jaskier told some, Geralt started following him for more

Jaskier had loved a poet once. In retrospect a horrible mistake. Some things were way more cruel if spoken in pretty words.

"You are like a spring-god," she had said and he had smiled at her stern face. "Wherever you go, plants come alive under your steps." She still wasn't smiling and he slowly grew uneasy under her gaze. "But spring flowers don't come without weeds, Jaskier. And the weeds under your feet grow tall."

He wouldn't have thought it possible to hate a season, but he despised spring after that.

"You're like autumn itself," Geralt had said and made him fear the rest of the sentence. His lover's words surprised him though. "Even when the world is falling apart, you manage to make it beautiful. For a while I thought it was useless, why care to make death pretty? But I understand now." A shiver ran down Jaskier's spine and Geralt continued, "You give people hope. You're not trying to mask an ugly truth, you fill their lifes with color so they can find the strength to overcome winter. It's magnificent."

"Oh," he said and Geralt smiled at him. Maybe being in love with a poet wasn't so bad after all.

Geralt, singing: Horses are better than people. Roach, why is love so hard?

Geralt: You feel what you feel, and those feelings are real

Geralt: C'mon Geralt, let down your-

Jaskier, bursting through the trees: OH MY GOD YOU CAN FUCKING SING?!

Geralt, falling over in surprise: FU-

reverse au -- jaskier is a strangely cheerful witcher and geralt is a strangely reticent bard~

[rockmerhys]

Geralt is 100% more of bastard in this au, and that is a guarantee😤

[consultingskeletondetective]

Jaskier, the tired grumpy witcher trying to get rid of the young, lovesick bard following him around and singing at him 💕

I’m still figuring out tagging on AO3, but I’ll get there. And now that it is the weekend, I can write and write and write all these ideas that have been swirling in my head about this ‘verse!
