his one true love

[dechart]

this took a turn

[roughentumble]

new “geralt thinks theyre dating but jaskier doesnt realize it” scenario just dropped

[bakewrite]

Great things are happening in the comments, but if I could give my own take.

Witchers marry by blending their possessions and coin purses together. Their packs carry all of their life on the Path, so it’s a symbolic joining of lives.

Jaskier asking Geralt to carry his things in Roach’s bags is basically a witcher marriage proposal.

So, Jaskier proposes incessantly during their first year traveling together.

Geralt just gives in at one point. Surprisingly, Jaskier doesn’t use that opportunity to try and get into Geralt’s pants again (no, he’s not disappointed).

Married life isn’t all that different from regular life with Jaskier.

And then, before Geralt can figure out how to tell his family he’s got a husband in tow, Jaskier says he has to go to Oxenfurt.

And takes all of his stuff out of Geralt bags.

Effectively divorcing him.

Well, it seems Jaskier changed his mind.

That’s fine. Geralt didn’t care either way.

He expects to never see his ex husband again, but then Jaskier does the same thing NEXT year. And the year after that. And the year after that.

Until Geralt discovers that Jaskier has left a spare chemise in his pack one year. He actually smiles at the garment.

He leaves a knife in Jaskier’s pack next year.

They don’t get divorced again—leaving little items with each other over the winter—until the Mountain.

When Geralt calms down and makes his way back to Roach, he finds his packs picked clean of Jaskier’s things. He also finds everything of his returned.

They had divorced at least a dozen times before, but this felt far more final.

Reuniting years later, he takes Jaskier up to Kaer Morhen with Ciri to hide from Nilfgaard.

It’s Geralt who proposes this time. Letting Jaskier know he’s welcome to any of his supplies. Offering to carry the bard’s things.

Each time, Jaskier refuses.

Geralt will keep trying though. Surely, they can reconcile one last time.

I decided to make some comic strips about them

“Yeah Jaskier is just a regular human with a regular lifespa-” [extremely loud incorrect buzzer]

The magic of a Fae depends on their mood. For example, if a Fae is angry, one should be on the lookout for storms.

An old legend states that possessing a Fae's heart at the moment of true happiness will grant one a wish.

Unfortunately for Jaskier, some have interpreted this to mean eating a Fae's heart.

Every other week, Geralt has to stop someone from trying to eat Jaskier's heart. Recently, however, Geralt himself has been pondering how he could give Jaskier a moment of true happiness—not to eat the bard's heart, but simply to make him smile.

Jaskier breaks up with Geralt and travels alone, gets lost in a mysterious forest and gets lost, and meets a white wolf

POV: Geralt was hexed but still has a type.

[artistsfuneral]

Modern au idea where, like every famous person, Jaskier takes part in some silly speed cooking segment in a late night show and he accidentally outs his relationship with Geralt when he can't open a glass or can or something so he runs to the audience where Geralt's sitting to cheer him on and then thanks Geralt by kissing him on the cheek like he always does and it's just so natural for both of them that they don't notice they've done it until Jaskier is openly asked about it by the host once the cooking is done.

the first and last time Geralt suggested he sleep on the floor when there was only one bed at the inn

you know once Geralt finally got in bed and was almost asleep Jaskier whispered “so are you overcome with lust now that you’re touching my nubile young body” and he almost got up and bedded down with Roach in the stable lol

[ID Jaskier leans dramatically back on the bed as Geralt stands awkwardly next to the bed. Jaskier is laughing as he says “oh no! A scoundrel alone in a room with me? My precious virtue will be in danger sharing a bed with such a handsome rogue. Please good sir I am an innocent bard who has never known the touch of a man” End ID]

Jaskier: i want to improve your image

Geralt: you're wasting your time

Jaskier: it's mine to waste

Geralt: *with a strange warmth in his chest* Hmm

[thedemonofcat]

Modern Au: Occasionally, Geralt would allow his cat, Roach, to roam freely outside. One day, Roach came back wearing a collar with a note attached, inquiring about the cat's owner.

For reasons unknown to Geralt, he decided to respond to the note. Soon, he found himself using Roach as a messenger to exchange notes with a musician named Jaskier.

This peculiar communication continued for several weeks until one day, Yennefer, a friend of Geralt's, pointed out the obvious: he was essentially dating Jaskier through his cat.

Some frame redraws per patreon request ~ I’m quite happy with how these sketches came out.

[goat-fanatic]

is the witcher fandom even on here? or existing beyond polish dads? idk but worth a try

[penandinkprincess]

okay but i'm CACKLING imagining an au of bartender geralt and performer jaskier, where jaskier goes up to the bar between sets and just tries to order THE filthiest drink he can think of

jaskier, leaning against the bar, doing his best seductive eyes: "i'll take a pornstar martini, extra pornstar" *wink*

geralt: *maintains eye contact the entire time he makes him a shirley temple*

#geraskier#pen posts#pffft they're roommates/friends so they leave at the end of the night together#and jaskier's just like 'oh you better drive tonight you were HEAVY with those pours.#trying to get me loosened up or what?' *eyebrows eyebrows*#geralt completely flat: 'the hardest thing you had tonight was syrup from the marischino cherries#and that's because you grabbed the jar before i could stop you'#'nuh uh i FELT the burn on one of those shots!'#'that's because it was straight vanilla extract' (X)
