Witcher where everything is the same but Ciri is a were-hedgehog
When friends, family, find out it’s not Geralt who’s touch starved but Jaskier instead, it comes as a shock.
Jaskier is the life of the party, the man with many lovers.
Surely, he knows an intimate touch.
Instead, behind that vibrant smile is someone who aches for a meaningful hug, who grows weary of lust with no sincerity.
So, when Geralt stumbles upon a crying Jaskier, struggling to hide his tears, there’s only one thing he can do.
Geralt wraps his arms around Jaskier, holds the back of his head with a steady hand so Jaskier can bury his face into his shoulder.
The shudder breaks Geralt’s heart and he summons all the love in his soul, the same compassion his brothers have given him over the years.
After a while, Jaskier’s sobs begin to fade and he clings to Geralt as if his life depends on it.
Watery eyes stare at Geralt, but through the tears are a silent gratitude, the chance to finally let hardened walls fall.
From then on, Geralt is never far from Jaskier.
He is careful, deliberate, with his touches and Jaskier melts into each embrace.
Jaskier will never feel empty again, not if Geralt can help it.
For as long as he’s allowed to remain by Jaskier’s side, Geralt will make sure Jaskier has the love he deserves.
Witchers head-bonking affectionately like cats do
Geralt doesn’t try it on Jaskier, not at first.
Then, feelings start to build, they get closer by the day and Geralt can’t help himself.
They’re settling down by the fire when Geralt doesn’t even think about it.
He just leans in like he does with Eskel and Lambert
But of course, Jaskier has turned his head to say something at that moment and ends up getting his nose head-butted
Between the cursing and bleeding of his nose, all Jaskier can say is, “WTF?????”
Leaving Geralt to stammer over Just-Witchery-Things and fussing over Jaskier at the same time
Jaskier then finds this all very lovely and cute, so he tries to give Geralt his own head bonks from then on
Sometimes locals think they’re trying to start a fight with one another but then they’re like, “Wait, he’s giggling?”
And naturally, when Jaskier meets the other witchers, it turns into a friendly competition
Jaskier and Geralt will be cuddling and then Lambert will just shove himself between them to head-bonk one or both
Let’s just say Jaskier’s face has gotten very sturdy from the amount of head-bonks that have gone wrong
Geralt and Jaskier having different flower languages
Different upbringings and all that, perhaps Geralt is more partial to flowers he can just find in the wild
While Jaskier likes the more fancy types that need time and care to cultivate
Each time they give the other a flower to show their love, it gets wildly misinterpreted
Jaskier: “Geralt thinks I’m grieving??”
Geralt: “I think Jaskier wants to kill me...let’s see him try.”
Both: “I just thought these flowers looked nice!!! There’s no secret meaning behind it!!!”
Eventually they both get bouquets that leave them absolutely distraught and they have to confront each other
Only to realize they just didn’t understand the other’s respective flower language and they’ve been trying to profess their feelings this entire time
Of course they’re deeply in love at this point, having done their best to justify the different floral arrangements they’ve given each other over the days/months/years
“Okay, yes, I know it looks like he wants me to become sick, but I promise there’s a deeper message!!!!”

Whatever you do don’t think about Geralt trying to save Jaskier while he rethinks every decision he’s ever made to the tune of No Good Deed from Wicked
I just wrote this:
Jaskier’s shout is a prayer to the gods and Geralt is weak for worship.
and now i’m not sure if i’ll ever share this fic because nothing i write from here on out will ever live up to this line
