I saw that one post with the GORGEOUS ART and I was like, “Maybe I should post my idea-“
Anyway, here’s my head cannon/one shot(?) thingy?
On the subject of thief Jaskier, what if it’s a whole, “The elite and powerful are corrupt” situation? Like, what if Jaskier only does what he does to protect Priscilla? What if she’s the only person he considers family and she ends up in a bad situation in the whole “music business is a prison” thing and he steals shit for the guys in charge to keep her okay?
Geralt is a single father to Ciri, the daughter of VERY important people, and he has to keep her on the down low while doing detective work?
The corrupted cop part comes in when he’s chasing a certain flirty cat burglar around a museum for taking a VERY important and VERY valuable jewel from a new exhibit. They’re running through halls and Jas manages to slow him down by having him run into some props and statues. At some point, he somehow manages to trick him into running into an interactive space where anytime you move, an awful and terrifying animatronic president, king, historian, etc. would begin interacting with you and that was a pretty BIG distraction for him. Eventually, though, he made it out and that’s when he sees it. A cop has our beloved thief cornered! Geralt sighs in relief and walks into the room to assist when the cop pulls his gun and points it at him. He thinks it’s some sort of mistake and he pulls out his badge, explaining that he’s here to help take the jewel back, but then there’s a gunshot.
Suddenly, there’s a lithe body on top of him and said body lets out a yell, quickly biting his lip as his face scrunches you with pain. He says something along the lines of, “You better leave, detective. Nobody will be on your side with such a prize sitting in front of them,” and then he’s off of him. It’s then Geralt realizes. The cop had tried to shoot him. The cop had tried to kill him. Someone on the side of the law. He sits up and he hears the cop cuss and run off, but he’s looking at the person that had just saved his life, limping away and gripping the wall for support. The bullet seemed to have only hit his leg thankfully. Nowhere vital. But that’s that important right now. What it important is the cop that was now making off with attempted murder and a few other charges riding on his ass. Geralt gets up and chases after the cop. It wasn’t too hard, honestly. The cop was out of shape and unhealthy. So, catching up to, and taking down said officer was pretty easy. After he had cuffed the man and called him in, he went back to the room the thief was in. He was propped up on the windowsill of the 3-story building and was getting ready to hop off. He looked over his shoulder at Geralt, and he SWEARS he saw relief in the burglar’s face when he saw him unharmed. Then, he jumped.
Geralt rushes to the window and looks out and down only to find out antagonist has landed in a dumpster and was limping his way out of it. He cussed to himself but there’s really nothing he can do at the moment. He can’t leave because he needs to give a statement on the rouge cop under his custody at the moment, but he also can’t just let the man get away as well. Thankfully, though, he notices something. A trail of deep red following the lean figure. Bingo. He’d just follow the trail to his suspect’s hiding spot afterwards.
After Geralt was done with the whole cop situation, he took the next morning to follow the tracks of blood, which lead up to an apartment building. They went up the escape shoot and Geralt took note of which unit they stopped at. He quickly headed up to the unit and knocked. When he did so a young woman answered. She explained that her name was Priscilla and that she lived there with her roommate and Geralt asked where said roommate was. She told him that he was at work, obviously hiding something, but he didn’t want to scare off his only suspects, so he simply asked if she had heard or seen anything odd the other night. Obviously she answered no, so he was on his way, but down the stairs he bumped, and I mean collided, into a man. A man with bright blue eyes and seemed to struggle about getting up. Geralt quickly helped him up and apologized, not thinking at that moment about the limp because oh man were those eyes blue. When they were all settled, he was on his way again.
This is all pulled out of my ideas on the Geraskier nsfw chat, so, if y’all want to meet some AMAZING people, you should join!!
