This is a collection of fics where misunderstandings make for a big, if not the main, part of the plot
Lovely to Love by @snowkatze | T | 2k
When Jaskier flinches away from him, Geralt knows something has changed. That Jaskier must have finally realized that Geralt is someone to be afraid of. If Geralt weren't so selfish, he would leave, but now he tells himself – just a little bit longer.
Should Have Known by poselikeateam | T | 4k
Jaskier didn't mean to keep it a secret. He thought they talked about it, albeit not in so many words. So when he finds out that Geralt still, after all these years, doesn't know he's a Higher Vampire? Well. He doesn't really know what to do with that.
Turn That Whiskey into Rain by @rhubarbdreams | E | 4k
Geralt mistakes Jaskier for a, ahem, lady of the night, and Jaskier goes with it. As you do.
"I don't require a whore."
Funny thing is, Jaskier wasn't about to offer. He means to convey words to that effect to settle the matter and dispel any potential future misunderstandings, but finds himself saying instead, "Why not?"
To hold, to keep by @goofgoofdildo | M | 5k
Geralt thinks Jaskier finds him repulsive, Jaskier thinks Geralt doesn't like his touch. This is wrong and they are about to find out.

Jaskier thinks he has a pretty simple relationship with sex.
Until he begins sleeping with Geralt.
Until he begins falling for Geralt.
Until.
Geralt says the wrong name in bed.
That's My Boyfriend by @lurikko | M | 6k
Geralt thinks Jaskier is his boyfriend. Jaskier doesn't know how and when that happened.
shifts by @okaybutfandomthoughts | T | 7k
Of the all of the things Geralt expected to find when he got home, a deeply asleep seal on his couch was not one of them.
He bends to set his workbag on the ground, not taking his eyes off of the animal as he does so. After a twelve-hour shift handling the chaos that happens every autumn as creatures migrate and prepare to hibernate for the winter, he has half a mind to simply turn around and walk away. Eskel has a comfortable couch; Geralt could simply sleep at his place and leave the seal to his own devices. It’s been a long day, does it really need to be longer?
Roach murrow-ing at him with great offense from her place at the top of the stairs tells him that yes, it does. His cat is clearly not going to deal with their intruder.
(Geralt arrives home one day to find that a selkie has broken into his house) (as you do)
when life gives you lemons by @shanastoryteller | Not Rated | 7k
The only good thing about Oxenfurt is the brothels.

Geralt thinks Jaskier is a whore, but really he's just an opportunist.
brambleborn by @purpurred| M | 12k
Instead of walking away on the mountain, Jaskier stands his ground, accidentally revealing his true identity as a Changeling in the process. Geralt takes it rather well, and as they continue to travel together, Jaskier lets down his guard, happy that he can now be himself.
Only Geralt didn't actually catch Jaskier's slip.
Confusion, obliviousness, and idiocy ensues.
long have i loved thee by Shinybug | E | 21k
He hears Geralt leave without a word, the door closing gently behind him. Jaskier wraps his hand around the smooth wood of the nearest bed post and rests his forehead against it. He doesn’t know why he agreed to come here, or why Geralt had asked in the first place.
~*~
Jaskier's first winter at Kaer Morhen gets off to a rocky start in more ways than one. Healing from an injury, he is tasked with fixing the neglected library, which is a good distraction from his hidden longing for Geralt. Add some major misunderstandings, some hard choices, a healthy dose of pining all around, and a song, and you have a winter's tale of love in all its forms.
Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make Me a Match by @dancinglassie | T | 24k
The last thing Vesemir expected when he broke his hip (caused by slipping in his kitchen, of all things) was to meet the future love of Geralt’s life. Now all he had to do was subtly convince Geralt and Jaskier of the fact.
