Whoa, first time posting this literally half of it didnt post?????? Anyway.
Ok, i gotta spill about this idea Ive had: Trans!Jaskier being Ciri’s bio father and Geralt also... the bio... father... Ok yeah whatever but like, heres the low down of what ive thought.
((and no i dont care that witchers are sterile its my AU i can to what i want))
Jask and Geralt are like, established and fuckin all the time and its great
Eventually Jaskier learns hes pregnant becasue it was bound to happen and Jaskier doesnt know Witchers are supposed to be sterile so he was kinda like, counting down the days basically lmao
Jaskier is about to tell Geralt but then the mountain break up happens and he leaves because if Geralt wants him gone so bad then he wont want a baby either
so fuck Geralt he can raise this baby on his own
also the road is no place for a baby
He has Ciri at his sister’s home (i mentioned her earlier in a little ficlet but basically shes his younger sister and people like Jaskier who arent afraid of witchers dont come out of happy homes) and he stays for like 6 months before something like, the abusive father inserts himself into the picture and Jaskier peaces out
So Jaskier does a sort of Academy tour teaching thing where he teaches at one school for a year and goes to another school after
Jaskier is pretty well established at this point but after this he gets even more established.
Its steady work and Ciri enjoys hanging out in his classes
They never stay in one city for more then a year because like, Jaskier craves movement at now and he wants to show Ciri the world
Like they have “their songs” and Jaskier does that thing dads do where they sing over the song their kid plays on repeat really bad on purpose
Jaskier does do Sandpiper work at the same time as his teaching and uses the schools hes at to move elves and be very low key about everything
But things are still dangerous and Ciri being well known to be Jaskier’s daughter makes her a target and so Jaskier has to tell her “If things sever get bad and you need to leave you need to leave me and find a white hared witcher named Geralt”
They use songs to queue when its safe for Ciri to come out becasue her dad’s back and a song to queue when it’s dangerous and she needs to get the fuck out of there.
I imagine Nilfguaard finds Jaskier in one of his classes and they make him go to his and Ciri’s apartment and like, thats when he sings and Ciri runs off and the Nilfguaard and fire fuck ransack the place looking for her.
Sometimes i imagine that Ciri didnt actually run and this is where she discovers her magic and saves Jaskier form Nilfgaard and theres this whole big thing of her being scared of herself but Jaskeir isnt scared of her becasue hes her dad and its very sweet
sometimes i imagine it where Ciri does run off and she finds Geralt and as soon as they meet she like “we gotta save my dad” and Geralt is like “whoes your dad and why should i care” “My dad’s Jaskier” “oh shit we gotta save your dad”
Geralt doesnt know Ciri is his daughter, Ciri doesnt know Geralt is her dad
something something meeting with Yen something something yen mentions the baby need magic something something Jaskier doesnt tell her about ciri because no way in hell is it going to be his baby something something Geralt goes and rescues Jaskeir from captivity and Yen gets Ciri
Jaskier: “GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!” i just really like that line because Yen still needs to get her groove back and we love a protective father who steals a sword form his ex boyfriend just to threaten his ex boyfriends ex girlfriend
Can you imagine how goddamned jealous Yen would be?????
Like, fucking Jaskier, who is supposed to be presenting as a man, has a fucking baby with a witcher, who is supposed to be sterile
and she gets nothing????????
Jealousy overload and the feeling that Jaskeir and Geralt dont deserve a daughter if they arent even going to take care of her
but the whole thing of Jaskier prepared to take Yens head off on sight thing really makes her think that maybe Jaskeir cares more for Ciri then she thinks
Also, while Geralt and Jaskier are traveling back to Ciri (or looking for her or whatever) Jaskier spills that she’s Geralt’s daughter and he obviously doesn't believe Jaskier and Jaskier is more pissed that Geralt thought Jaskier would have someone else's baby and push it on Geralt then anything.
Geralt does the math and gets pissed Jaskier didn’t tell him he was pregnant when the broke up.
This is a whole big argument that leads to the “GET AWAY FORM MY DAUGHTER” and Geralt looking at her and going “Aw fuck thats my fuckin kid ain’t it.”
Geralt sends the two things he loves most in this world to the place he knows the most safty Kaer Morhen and they are greeted and its like nice and all
Vesemir: “Geralt my son i need to talk to you. hey how the fuck did you make that??” “I have no idea i blame the bard”
Jaskier told Ciri the first night after all three of them were together that Geralt was her dad and said it was up to her if she wanted to peruse a relationship with Geralt becasue he already knows and like, “Dad is a title you have to earn, not one you can demand.”
Ciri does want to see Geralt as a father and Geralt wants to be a father too but hes also so scared because hes a witcher and children are supposed to be scared of him
Like father like daughter tho and Ciri isnt scared and Jaskier says it’s ok for her to learn to fight
That’s, like, all i got right now. I think
I think of this a lot while im driving to and from work. I may add on if i have anything else but ive tried writing this two or three times and its just never worked. Feel free to write it if you can becasue i apparently cant.
