I love it when Jaskier is able to save Geralt, whether that be by sheer dumb luck and some guts or by immense skill like with people. Just anytime they both save the other is such a good time in my opinion.
How do you feel about it? Are you a Jaskier is the only damsel in distress or do you like them to switch off being the damsel in distress?

Oh gods, I LOVE competent/feral Jaskier, you have no idea.
I just think that there's so much potential for hilarious moments to ensue whenever someone makes Jaskier a little more dangerous than you expect him to be.
I think it's much more realistic to have Jaskier actually be able to defend himself from danger, seeing as he does travel across the continent on his own sometimes. Add in the experience he gets over the years from traveling with Geralt and you have a Bard that actually knows how to fight.
I take a lot of joy picturing Geralts disgruntled but reluctanty flustered face whenever Jaskier comes to his rescue or the small pleased smile he can't fight down whenever he sees Jaskier give back as good as he gets in a fight, surprising everyone around him because they assumed the Bard dressed in fancy clothing to be all talk with no real skill and Jaskier just flattened them.
Jaskier's face whenever he notices Geralts reaction is all smug and pleased, he can't help making some quips about it or sauntering up to Geralt, teasingly asking him if he liked the show, feeling even more pleased when Geralts face turns red in a deep blush that surprises both of them.
This probably sounds very creepy, but I’m right now thinking of Jaskier in a modern au, and just the thought of him hugging mr close, stroking my hair and telling me everything is going to be okay, during this quarantine is making me feel better! 🥺😭🥰
A/N: Oh no babe this isn’t creepy at all!!! Jaskier would honestly be the most comforting (with Eskel being a close rival) of all the boys and I think he’d give such great hugs! I hope you like this! Also sorry this took so long to get to!

The walls vibrated as thunder echoed in the sky above your apartment.
You had been tossing and turning all night, only to be finally woken up by a loud clap of lightning. That was when you discovered that you were alone in bed. Jaskier wasn’t with you.
So you got out of bed and ventured out of the room, searching for him. The kitchen was empty, but you found the living room was lit up from the television.
“I don’t know. I hope they go down. I know Y/N’s been taking it really hard…. No, no. I don’t blame them at all…. I’ve got to be strong for them, I know. Just hard having to be away from you all.”
Jaskier’s voice was quiet. He was on the phone with someone.
You crossed your arms tightly over yourself as you moved further into the living room.
“I know, Geralt…. It isn’t safe to travel…. What if we brought something to Vesemir? I couldn’t stand the thought of being what finally takes that old man out.”
“Is that Geralt?” You spoke without thinking, too exciting to stop yourself from interrupting.
Jaskier turned his head to look at you, bringing his hand up to his chest.
“Christ, Y/N! You scared me.”
“Sorry.”
“No, it’s alright, Geralt. Just Y/N.” He spoke into the phone. “Dear, what are you doing up? It’s nearly four in the morning.”
“Hi, Geralt!” You called through the phone, moving to sit on the sofa beside Jaskier.
“Hello, Y/N.” The witcher greeted.
You listened and watched as Jaskier ended the call with Geralt, feeling a little bad about having interrupted.
“If you wanted time to talk to him, you could’ve just told me to go back to bed.” You said.
“No, no, love. That’s not it.” Jaskier shook his head, reaching over to hook his hand around the back of your head and draw you in for a gentle kiss. “It’s late. I should try to sleep and you need to go back to sleep.”
“I wasn’t sleeping. I was throwing myself around on the bed.” You muttered. You watched Jaskier stand up and he held his hand out for you to take. You placed your hand in his and let him pull you to your feet.
“I know, darling. You kicked me more than Eskel’s gots ever have.” Jaskier wrapped his arm firmly around you, rubbing your side.
“What did Geralt say?” You looked up at him, curious. “When you said it wasn’t safe to travel?”
“He said that the offer was still on the table for us to come to Kaer Morhen.”
“That’s where everyone is, isn’t it?” You slipped out of his gold to go around to your side of the bed.
“Yes. They made it there just before the outbreak. Lambert and Aiden. Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer. Triss, Zoltan, Eskel, and even Dettlaff and Regis are there.”
You frowned, watching Jaskier climb into bed.
“And…. and we are the only ones who didn’t go?”
Jaskier paused after he settled into bed, blue eyes finding you.
“Y/N, we didn’t have the chance. Everything shut down before we had the money.”
You nodded, looking down at your hands as you chewed on your lip.
“Darling, don’t be upset about it. We’ll get to see them again.”
“But what if we don’t?” You whispered, your voice cracking. “What if…. Jask, what if–,”
“No.” He cut you off firmly. His hand gently cupped your chin and tilted your face up, making you look at him. “No, Y/N. You are not starting that. We are staying safe. We’re taking every precaution we can and then some. We’ll be okay.”
You nodded a little and sniffled. Jaskier brushed the tears from your cheeks with his thumb.
“I love you, dear heart.” He kissed your brow. “Now please, try to sleep.”
You settled down into bed, burying your face in his chest. You curled your arms up between your body and his.
He brought his hand up to your hair, gently combing his fingers through your locks as he began to hum.
“I love you, Jask.”
“I love you more, Y/N. I promise you everything will be alright. We just have to give it time.”
Their relationship feels like a whirwind ( or any other natural disaster). And I do mean it as a compliment because I love passionate affairs. Those two love each other in such intense way that I can't help but root for them as well.
How awesome is that on show's current timeline they have already met, fallen in love and broke up? Normally tv shows feature a pairing's meeting on the first season but thanks to the Witcher's flash back episodes we were able to see Geralt and Yennefer's rich history as a couple.
And while they are not currently together I'm sure they are far from over ( after all they have a kid they need to take care of together).
The Cutie red head Triss Merigold and Our Gay Queen Philippa fucking Eilhart💕💕😭
