This is it folks, my 400 follower special!
Thank you to all of my lovely followers, I appreciate each and every one of you and you all motivate me to keep writing content!
So here we go- Werewolf!Jaskier
Jaskier is a born wolf shifter
his parents were killed by errant villagers when he was younger, so his godmother took him in to be raised with her family
His godmother is a vampire
Jaskier was raised by vampires
Because of course since we all know jaskier is destined to be a brain cell deprived idiot no matter what form, this is only natural
It’s very much a “dog raised by cats thinks he’s also a cat” kind of situation
It helps that wolf shifters happen to be just as fast, durable, and immortal as vampires so jaskier can keep up with his vampire family
Although his godmother has done an excellent job making sure jaskier learns enough about his wolf side, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t picked up some more… feral tendencies
Geralt discovers this the first time the bard hisses at him after he made a careless comment about his outfit
There are plenty of other things jaskier has picked up from his adopted family, and geralt has spent many hours trying to figure out if the bard’s bloodlust for anyone who has spoken ill of him or geralt is a result of living with vampires or just a jaskier thing
Because jaskier is a born wolf he has a lot of control over when and where he shifts
Jaskier knows how humanity receives monsters and as a result shifts as little as possible to keep his identity hidden, even when it pains him
But around geralt it’s different
The witcher doesn’t judge jaskier, or fear the massive auburn wolf that he shifts into
Around geralt he feels normal, and not just like some freak of nature
The witcher doesn’t mind when he shifts at night beside the campfire, doesn’t mind when jaskier trots over and curls up as close as possible
He doesn’t say anything more than giving an indulgent “hmm” and burying a calloused hand in jaskier’s fur
Geralt doesn’t blink when they’re attacked by bandits on the road and jaskier shifts to tear the men apart after one of them dared to lay a hand on his witcher
Geralt thanks jaskier quietly and washes the blood by his fur in a nearby river so gently that jaskier wants to cry
Because geralt is home in a way he’s never felt before, no matter how much he loves his adopted family he’s always going to be the odd one out but around geralt jaskier belongs
They fit together like long lost pieces of a puzzle, complement the other in unimaginable ways
They except each other’s flaws and love them even more for it
Jaskier doesn’t have to hide around geralt, doesn’t have to worry about how weird it is to be the wolf shifter raised by vampires, and he knows geralt feels the same way
They exist, and take comfort in the presence of one another, and when geralt finally works up the nerve to ask jaskier to join him in kaer morhen for the winter jaskier doesn’t even have to think before he accepts immediately and he knows he’s got a stupid looking grin on his face
But jaskier can’t bring himself to care about making a fool of himself when geralt’s answering smile feels brighter than the afternoon sun on his skin
hope you enjoyed! lmk if you’d like a part 2!
