Summary:

Geralt has faced history-changing royalty, monsters worthy of ballads, surviving a fucking century, but this —

“Julian Alfred Pankratz. Viscount de Lettenhove.” The boy — Julian, not Jaskier — stuck out a hand, managing to look noble-born even littered with scrapes. “And you are?”

Geralt heaved a sigh, sheathing his sword. “Fucked, it seems.”

[The one where Jaskier gets de-aged and Geralt has to do that... affection thing.]

Summary:

Spending more than twenty minutes at the summit was dangerous; there wasn’t enough oxygen for the human body to survive at that altitude. No matter how amazing the summit was and how badly they all wanted to stay, they couldn’t.

Jaskier waved back at Eist as he clipped into the rope, ready to make his descent. The older man had decided to stay near the end of the group, saying he wanted to spend as much time on top of the world as he could.

None of them saw the clouds moving in.

My @thewitchersecretsanta fic for @lotsofquestionslimitedanswers hope you’re all having lovely holidays! :)

As his Witcher’s Path takes him to the rain-soaked streets of London, there are three people that Geralt is destined to find.

One purple-eyed paediatrician with paranormal powers. One sweet-natured stepdaughter with very special skills. And a seemingly untouchable musician to complicate all of Geralt’s innermost desires.

Life is hard for a witcher. But with their help, Geralt strives to be a good father.

And this year, all Ciri wants for Christmas is for her whole family to be by her side. But with unexpectedly dangerous monsters all around, can Geralt protect the people he loves and keep them safe from harm? Can Yen find what she still craves? And can Jaskier ever feel worthy enough within Geralt’s magical destiny to be secure by his side?
