Prof. Jaskier Pancratz never did too well in the love department. Medieval literature, yes. Songwriting and playing his mandolins, also yes. Having passionate, raunchy one-night stands, absolutely. But romance? True romantic love? Not his strongsuit. It was hard when certain attributes he had, things he couldn't change, had in the past made him unloveable. Mr. Radovid Strogi has been going through the ringer for years. His family was gone, and he up and left everything to become a part time instructor at the University of Oxenfurt. He thought for sure that his life must be cursed when he ran into a literature professor with his coffee, spilling it all over the other man's tastefully unbuttoned shirt on the first day. But for some inexplicable reason, Professor Pancratz kept stopping by his office to talk. Which could mean nothing. (My Radskier college professor au!)
i started reading this lovely fanfic and warmly recommend it to any other radskier-fans and people who like a vintage gay lovestory! it includes trans and autistic jaskier, has mainly povs of jaskier and radovid. it is mostly quite adorable but there are some sad scenes too and radovid has not the best communication-skills. jaskier has his found family with geralt, yennefer and ciri, but radovid is quite alone. both have some tragic/traumatic backstories. they fall for each other quite fast i think, but need time to act on their feelings. happy end is promised by the author :) i love how they wrote the characters and the story as a whole. the atmosphere is kinda cozy. well, i just love the whole fic really. so, go read it and leave some kudos and kind comments for the amazing aberdeen @the-halfling-prince!
i also made this moodboard for the fanfic’s vibe so far:
