The Witcher (TV)Â
See below the readmore to find links and summaries for all the fics Iâve written to date in this fandom.
and we will be elided by the people that we love most
de-aged!Jaskier, hurt!jaskier, hurt!yennefer, exploration of motherhood, families of choice, panic attacks (jask)
âWhat did you give me?â he growls, burying his fear beneath a burst of anger. The room around them splinters, making gravity an uncertain principle: vertigo makes him drool and he spits, falling over, digging his fingers into the ground in a futile effort to make everything just stop spinning. âOh fuck, whaâ âid you do tâme?â he slurs out past a suddenly numb tongue. The icy burn has spread out from his throat and chest to take over his whole body, sending lightning strikes of pain zinging up and down his limbs.
âYouâll find out soon enough, I think.â
Yennefer is healing after Sodden, trying to pull her chaos back inside herself. She doesnât actually have time to chase down wayward bards, much less take care of the child-sized version of one sheâs never particularly liked all that well. She really is quite tired of being forced to save this fool.
darling, dearest, donât you see (voices left inside of me)
follow-up to âelided" above: After the events of and we will be elided, Loretta writes Jaskier a letter. How do you forgive the kind of betrayal thatâs made to save another life? How do you learn to live with the ways your family has hurt you? How do you heal without betraying yourself?
idk man, read the fic.
the heart electric (beats a half-time measure)
Jaskier drops the torch and the dagger, rushing forward to fall to his knees next to Geralt. The light sputters briefly but holds, and Jaskier curses himself even as he hesitantly reaches out to try and wake Geralt. The leather armour of his shoulder is cold under Jaskierâs palm, and weirdly tacky with something; arachas venom pings in the back of his mind like a warning, and he hastily wipes his palms off on his already ruined doublet, reaching forward to cradle Geraltâs face instead. âGeralt?â he whispers; the horrifying truth of Geraltâs stillness catches in his throat, preventing him from being any louder than that. âGeralt?â
Or
Itâs not that he hadnât thought it possible⊠but Geralt was a witcher. No one had ever mentioned that witchers could die.
Or
Five Times Jaskier Thought Geralt Was Dead, Plus One Time It Was Reversed
this life that weâve created (inundated with the fated thought of you)
Gods, but this is very nearly intolerable. Heâd been ready to forgive him, even then, waiting for Geralt to take it back, for him to turn around and apologize; and heâd been ready to forgive him two years ago, if only Geraltâs path would cross his again, one year ago, traveling slowly from town to town, chasing whispers of the white wolf in between his bardic circuit. He does not know if his heart can take it again, if Geralt once more decides him too much of a burden to bear traveling with. Injured, now, needing to be saved, he could not have engineered a worse reunion had he written the fates himself.
if you could let me inside your heart (could I be enough?)
Post-coital realizations should never be had alone. AKA Jaskier questions his place between these two powerful, immortal, destined-to-be-together beings, and he finds it hurts to be just⊠human.
this our winter of love (a gift from one above)
âItâs weird but I donât think itâs witcher-weird.â
âOh, itâs witcher-weird, alright.â Lambert interrupted, pulling up something on his phone. It was one of those âsmartâ phones, paper thin, supposedly able to think for itself; seemed like more trouble than Geralt cared to deal with, but Lambert was half in love with the damned thing. âLook,â he said, thrusting the lit-up rectangle in Geraltâs face.
Geralt had to pull comically far back to actually look at what Lambert wanted him to see. The screen showed a small parcel of people milling about a city center. They were all dressed like either they had walked off of a movie set, or they were genuinely from the 1200s. There was even a bard, holding a lute. A distressingly familiar bard, for all that Geralt hadnât seen that face in eight hundred years.
i carry your heart (i carry it in)
Witchers donât have soulmates. Thatâs been true for as long as Geraltâs been alive, a necessary sacrifice for a life spent on the Path. Thereâs no place for the attachments that humans define themselves by.
It may not be worth it to Geralt, but love has always been the single most motivating force in the world for Jaskier. Unrequited or not, heâs a bard, and thereâs a story to be told. Heâll be the one to tell it.
(Whoâs the more tragic figure here? The loved or the unloving?)
Jaskier and Geralt are soulmates, bound by the Red String of Fate. But just because itâs written in the stars doesnât mean itâs an easy path to tread, and it takes more than a nudge from fate to make a soul-bond work. Between the way Geralt feels about destiny, and the trials and tribulations of the path they have to trudge, itâs going to be one hell of an adventure.
the prairie is vast (the train is quicker) | Into the Jaskierverse, pt. 14
Geralt and Ciri are still trying everything they can to find Jaskier. After⊠a traumatizing split, they come back together in a new universe entirely. Theyâre offered a chance to distract themselves from their worry over Jaskier, and the perilous journey theyâre on, by helping a female version of their favorite bard steal a wagon, rob a train, and, just maybe, come to terms with a worry thatâs been plaguing her.
Featuring; much talk of guns, someone getting shot (on accident), a murder! (on purpose), Jaskier the Horse!Girl, one (1) dissociative episode, one (1) panic attack (though not the same character), and just enough fludd and banter to even it all out.
if i loved you (could you stay?) | QF1
He knows the way to Jaskierâs lodgings, knows by heart how to find the tiny row of cottages reserved for the professors and their families, knows too that Jaskier might not even be there; heâs not heard of anything from the bard in months, not sinceâ
He shakes himself, turning away from the uncomfortable memories. Whatâs done is done. He only hopes he isnât too late.
A love confession gone wrong leads Geralt to try and fix his relationship with Jaskier.
Go Get Your Mage | Yennfri promptfic
When Yennefer portals into Blaviken instead of Geralt, a more⊠mutually beneficial arrangement is made.
fate makes fools of us all (she plays the longest game) | QF2
Itâs not that sheâd meant to become a witch, but⊠well.
Sometimes these things just happen.
a willing ear (a hand to hold) | Â QF3
A little town in the mountains calls for the aid of a witcher, and Geralt and Jaskier take on a contract thatâs more than it first appears to be.
Even the divine have friends, strange as it may seem.
breathe with it (bleed with it)
Fringilla was the first. She flexes her hand, feeling again the phantom tendrils of chaos crawling up her veins as her arm had turned to dessicated ash and bone in recompense for her glory. That was what being noticed got you. That was a lesson learned in blood and pain. That was a lesson learned hard and fast and once.
a Fringilla Vigo character study; âThere is no such thing as dark or light magic. Nothing in this world is as simple as that.â
