“Look, why don’t we leave tomorrow? That is, if you’ll give me another chance to prove myself a... worthy travel companion. We could head to the coast. Get away for a while.”

Here’s my piece for the @geraskierholidayexchange event! It’s for @kaenanmatsuura , who asked for ‘Merman Jaskier and Human Geralt’ as well as ‘Some well deserved cuddles’! Happy Holidays! I hope you like it! ❤️

Your prompt made me think of Art Nouveau— I think because I instantly thought of them on a beach, hair flowing wildly—  so I did it in the style of Alphonse Mucha’s paintings and posters. Below the cut is a version without the wave overlapping Jaskier’s tail, and some more of my rambling~ 

Do not Edit, Trace, or Repost! ⚠️

Reblogs, however, are greatly appreciated! ✨

I just wanted to include this version here because I really liked working on Jaskier’s Tail. I also have some concept sketches, some timelapses, and a drawing of Mer!Jaskier’s design I made for my own reference purposes. I might post those later. Let me know if that’s something you’d like to see! Thank you!

Geralt has lived sixty-three years on the Path. He has slain countless monsters, bedded beautiful sorceresses, seen kingdoms rise and fall across the Continent. And he has never heard of a witcher with a soul bond.

As he stares at his arm in shock, he watches as another flower, nearly identical to the one he saw last month, is traced into his skin.

“Fuck.”

geraskier — 3.9k — teen+ — written for @demisexualgeralt​ for the @geraskierholidayexchange​

When Jaskier finally pulls into his spot in front of their apartment, he’s surprised to see that the lights are still on inside. The clock on the dash tells him that it’s a quarter past eleven. Geralt is usually in bed by now. He’d probably passed out on the couch again - he had a long shift today, too.

With a weary sigh, Jaskier trudges from his car to the front door. He wants nothing more than to collapse in his bed, preferably with Geralt tucked against his chest, and sleep for at least twelve hours. As he climbs the porch steps, he imagines Geralt’s sleepy smile when he realizes that Jaskier is home, the warm hug and the sweet, soft kiss he’ll get before he’s even taken his shoes off. The thought quickens Jaskier’s pulse, and his heart beats rapidly against his sternum.

He still can’t believe it: Two months ago, kissing Geralt had been nothing but a self-indulgent daydream. Now it’s become reflexive, almost instinctive, as if Jaskier has always been able to kiss his best friend.

Jaskier unlocks the front door and steps into the apartment. He’s surprised to see Geralt waiting in the entryway. Jaskier immediately holds a hand up and says, “Wait a second, sweetheart. At least let me take off my coat.” He purposely takes his time, hanging up his coat properly and arranging his boots neatly on the shoe mat. He wants to see how long Geralt lasts. Finally, he turns and opens his arms. “Okay, c’mere.”

Two hundred pounds of boyfriend barrel into Jaskier. He gives a wheezy laugh and murmurs, “Hi.”

“Missed you,” Geralt says, pressing himself impossibly closer.

“Missed you, too.” Jaskier leans into him and kisses his temple. He feels his body relax as he breathes in Geralt’s scent, a dusty vanilla sweetness that always lingers for a few hours after his shifts at the campus library. But there’s another smell, too. “Did you burn something?”

Geralt pulls away, and his blush confirms Jaskier’s suspicions. “Maybe,” he says. “But I wasn’t trying to. You know I’m shit at baking.”

“What did you bake?” Jaskier asks.

Geralt’s face lights up. “Come see. I have a whole night planned.”

Jaskier pointedly raises an eyebrow.  “Ex-cuse me,” he says. “Aren’t you forgetting something?”

Geralt bumps the heel of his hand against his forehead. “My sincerest apologies.” He leans in and kisses Jaskier sweetly, and Jaskier can feel Geralt’s playful grin against his mouth. “Better?”

“It’ll do,” Jaskier sniffs.

Summary:

Rumors and assumptions surrounds a witcher and a bard. The witcher is just trying to do his job, even during a time as peaceful as Yule. There's gift giving to do too, which means last minute shopping to go through. If only people would leave him out of their gossip.

This is my @geraskierholidayexchange gift for @prettyboy-parker! I went with your first prompt: Modern!AU Geralt is a single dad and Jaskier works at the local animal shelter.  Geralt takes Ciri to the shelter every so often to look at the animals, but he’s really looking at Jaskier.  Ciri notices and makes her dad talk to him.  I did take the small liberty of changing the scene from an animal shelter to the wildlife rescue in a park, but hopefully it still fits the bill.  I hope you had/are having a good holiday!

Title: Animal Attraction (T, 6.5k)

Relationships: Geralt/Jaskier

Tags: Meet-Cute,  Or From Jaskier’s POV Meet-Grumpy, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Animal Metaphors, Harm to Animals, Ciri ships it, First Kiss, Unconventional Flirting

Summary: When Geralt brings the wounded but still breathing skunk that Ciri hit with their trunk into the park services building, he finally meets Jaskier, the new vet tech that started there a few weeks ago.  Jaskier decides to keep the sometimes smelly, ornery, monochrome sweetheart.  Oh, and he takes care of the skunk too.

CW:  An animal gets hurt in this. It is by accident and the person who hurts the animal is very sorry and ensures that the animal receives proper care. The animal makes a full recovery. There is talk, before they know the animal is going to be fine, of potentially euthanizing it to put it out of its misery.
