Master Post of my Witcher Fics
Geralt x Jaskier
A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement
- One night Geralt wakes to something in his camp. It's a Fae, a Fae who introduces himself as Jaskier and begs to follow him - promising to change the Continent's opinion of Geralt, promising to make them forget about the terrible moniker 'the Butcher of Blaviken'.
What's a poor, tired Witcher to do?
Eskel x Jaskier
The Fires of the Sun Wolf
- After being burned by Geralt too many times, Jaskier builds walls around his heart to protect himself from ever being hurt again.The only thing this manages to do is destroy the one man who managed to worm his way into Jaskier's heart, past his defenses - and the only thing he manages to do is push him away.
Can Jaskier fix what he broke? Can he save the relationship he ruined before it had a chance to grow and heal them both?
Iorveth x Vernon Roche
I’ve Loved You For A Hundred Years (It Certainly Fucking Feels Like It)
- After being forced to work together after the third war with Nilfgaard ends, Roche and Iorveth call a truce. Everything goes smoothly until part of an overheard conversation causes heartache and misunderstanding and reconciliation.
Alternately, Roche and Iorveth let themselves heal and be happy.
A Touch of Destiny
- There are certain things that are destined to happen. Occasionally for those things to happen Destiny has to get personally involved to put pieces where they need to be.
Vernon Roche finds himself in Destiny's clutches, thrown back into the past, and tasked with saving Isengrim and Iorveth from execution and that they ended up on the right path.
He didn't intend for more to happen...
Silver For Monsters
- Most Dopplers are harmless. Most of them. The ones who are not, live for destruction, for the chance to inflict damage when they chose a form to copy.
This is the type of Doppler Iorveth and Roche have the misfortune of encountering. This Doppler intends to break both Iorveth and Roche all for more coin than they know what to do with.
The Doppler is successful but will the damage be permanent or can the bond between Iorveth and Roche be strong enough to survive being so thoroughly broken down?
A Cure for Loneliness (7/8 Chapters)
- The confrontation between Roche and Iorveth in the forest was not the first time they met. They first met thirty years before, just outside Vizima - not that either remembered.
It was a warm day and Vernon desperately wanted someone to play with. He wanted someone to be nice to him, maybe play pirates with him or teach him to make a daisy chain. Mama had told him to go out and play while she was working, told him not to come home until dusk. “Little boys should spend their days outside playing,” she told him while tweaking his nose. He wanted so badly to do what Mama said so she could be happy, she was rarely happy although she tried to hide it.

A Calm Surrender
- A reunion under the moonlight, a confession, and a love song.
Or, the shameless softness we all deserve.
What Do Stars Do? (8/10)
Stardust AU
- Vernon Roche makes a promise to a beautiful girl that he will help her - even if Triss doesn't want him the way he wants her, he comes up with a plan to keep unwanted suitors off her back. His crazy plan? They can become betrothed before he goes to report for duty. His insane plan? To prove his commitment to this plan, he vows to cross The Wall to find a fallen star as a symbol of his commitment.
He expected to find a hunk of shiny rock. Instead, he meets an angry and injured star, several power-hungry sorceresses, a collection of Witchers and their bard, a few members of the Royal Family, and his mother.
He does this all while falling in love and finding a place where he belongs - as long as vengeful princes and wicked sorceresses don't take it all away before he can realize he has it.
Why Don’t You Have Tea Instead?
- Vernon Roche knew he wouldn’t fall under the conventional definition of smart. He wasn’t dumb - he learned to read and write when he was a child, had a head for numbers, could organize tactical advances in his sleep, and learned Hen Llinge in his late thirties; but sometimes he made monumentally stupid decisions.
Case in point: agreeing to have his mother spend the winter in Toussiant with him. Now, normally he wouldn’t think twice about airing out the guest room and covering the mattress with clean linens which is why he found himself regretting every decision he had made in the last five years that led to what would inevitably be his demise.
Well, not every decision, but most of them.
Inevitable
- Every part of the relationship between Iorveth and Roche felt inevitable. Everything, that is, except for the end.
Secretly, Between the Shadow and the Soul (8/?)
- Vernon Roche has been called a bastard, a whoreson, and the unluckiest son of a bitch in Vizima. But all that will change once he can finally find a place where he feels like he belongs - somewhere he isn't looked down on for being 'too human' or 'not human enough'.
While running from what could likely be the end of the road for him, he may just find what he's been looking for his entire life.
(Part 1 of The Shadow and the Soul)
One Day I’ll Be On a Gwent Card
- When Vernon Roche was young, he told his mother that he'd one day have his own Gwent card.
After years of silence, he comes back home, card in hand and a shadow at his back.

Iorveth, and the Increasingly Convoluted Curse-Breaking Catastrophe (1/2)
- Written for Witcher Rarepair Summer Bingo, for the square Language Barrier
Iorveth has been cursed to spout nonsense words and no one can understand what he's actually trying to say. No one, that is, except for his rival Vernon Roche.
(Part 1 of That's A Bingo! -- Witcher Rarepair Summer Bingo)
Dez Motmahus (1/?)
-Dez motmahus. Fate is slippery. Fate. Destiny. It leads and rules and directs and yet our lives are not destined for only one purpose, but many. Roche and Iorveth learn this lesson when they find themselves falling through a strange portal to an even stranger land where they’re caught in the middle of a conflict between two warring factions. From there, their destinies grow beyond what either of them could imagine.
Ahrk fin kel lost prodah, do ved viing ko fin krah, tol fod zeymah win kein meyz fundein! Alduin, feyn do jun, kruziik vokun staadnau, voth aan bahlok wah diivon fin lien!
And the Scrolls have foretold of black wings in the cold, that when brothers wage war, come unfurled! Alduin, Bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound, with a hunger to swallow the world!

Ves x Rainin
A Courting Ritual of Our Own
-With the Scoia'tael disbanded, Rainin is left struggling to find a place in Vergen after being left behind by Ves when she left with the rest of the Blue Stripes. But the ex-spy isn't as alone as they assumed and Ves isn't about to leave them thinking she abandoned them.

Isengrim Faoiltiarna/Eldain
Not To Control The Wind (2/2)
- When he received the missive from Dol Blathanna, Isengrim wasn't sure what to expect, but watching the small council dissolve into snarled threats wasn’t what he would have guessed would happen.
When it becomes obvious that they'll all grow old and die before anything can be agreed upon, Isengrim takes it upon himself to offer a 'helping hand' in controlling Eldain's mouth. It escalates from there.
(Part 3 of The Shadow and The Soul & Part 3 of That's A Bingo! -- Witcher Rarepair Summer Bingo)
Five Cheesy Pickup Lines That Didn't Work (And One That Did)
- For a Reason of State, Eldain finds himself following Iorveth to an old Blue Stripes safe house in Farcorners to assist in a plot to assassinate the King of Redania. He expected to actually work on the said assassination plot, not watch Iorveth and Roche flirt terribly with each other.
What's a poor elf to do in that situation but drink with the only other sane person in the house. And if that person is Isengrim Faoiltiarna so what? So what if the Iron Wolf is also terrible at flirting? So what if his cheesy pickup lines are sweeter than they are cheesy? So. What?

Lay Me Down on a Bed of Roses
- "You made flowers bloom in my lungs and although they are beautiful, I can't breathe." - Anonymous
(Part 5 of That's A Bingo! -- Witcher Rarepair Summer Bingo)
It's What My Heart Just Yearns to Say (2/?)
- Isengrim cashes in some favors to get Eldain an invitation to a bardic competition. It's an excuse to enjoy some time in the sun, drink some good wine, and have as much sex as possible. If they happen to realize their feelings for each other are stronger than caring for someone who is a 'friend with benefits', that's just icing on the cake.
