I present my fic for the Day 21: Fall prompt for @witcher-bows-and-arrowsâs 2023 event!
Relationship: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier | Dandelion
Summary: The bond between a djinn and their master lasts only as long as it takes for the master to use up their three wishes. After that, the djinn is free to move on, and Jaskier has left so many behind.Not Geralt, though. He finds it strangely hard to leave Geralt behind.Or: What if the djinn Geralt had fished up was Jaskier?
Inspired By: Witcher Bows & Arrows: Bond
Geralt sighs in irritation. He drags the net back in, gathering it up in his hands, and prepares himself to toss it out. As he lets it fly, he says, âA djinn.â
Jaskier freezes. His face remains unchanged, he knows â he mastered the art of controlling himself a long time ago, and then shortly thereafter the art of looking like he has no control â but inwardly, his heart stutters and his lungs seize up and the very blood in his veins turns to ice.
The common folk might not know much about the djinn, but Geralt is a Witcher. He knows exactly what he might get into with a djinn.
Itâs why Jaskier had figured he was safe traveling with Geralt.
So, he goes the safest route: he plays dumb. âA what now?â
âIâm looking for a dinn,â Geralt growls, clearly irritated at both his empty net and his need to repeat himself.
âFor a dj â For a djinn? Like a genie? Like a,â Jaskier laughs, âlike one of those floaty fellas with the â the bad tempers and the banned magics and the âbe careful what you wish forâ, that kind of genie?â
