    Summary

    The mutations are specific tools for specific uses. Formidable strength for formidable enemies. Sharpened sight to see what lurked in the darkness. Keen smell to track every kind of quarry. So while the varied scents of men can often times tell him what they are thinking, what they are likely about to do, there is one who's scent is unlike any other. There are precious few mysteries in Geralt's life anymore, even less that is new.

    There is a bard that follows him.

    Summary

    Supper secured and stuffed away in his trousers, he looks up to find the silver-haired stranger in the corner, the one person who hadn’t heckled him. The man is objectively gorgeous, with fascinating hair and a body that makes Jaskier’s mouth water a little.

    Oh yes, he decides quickly, he will be climbing this stranger like a tree.

    He’s a little wrong-footed when he works out that the stranger is a witcher with big scary swords Jaskier’s heard horror stories about, but after a quick moment of thought, he also thinks about how very many things the fae elders have been wrong about all his life and decides to ignore them once again. The witcher–Geralt of supposedly Rivia, even though Jaskier can tell from his accent that that’s a lie–tries to get rid of him, but Jaskier is nothing if he’s not determined, and he’s simply too damn interested to get scared off easily.

    The witcher has clearly not realized that Jaskier is something to be hunted, and Jaskier, well, he’s never excelled at silly things like self-preservation.

    Summary

    Silence reigned between them. Outside there was the dull sound of training swords clashing and Jaskier turned his gaze towards the window, watching the sky outside. 

    “I’m-- sorry.” Geralt said. It sounded truly remorseful. 

    Jaskier took a deep breath and then tipped himself slightly to the side, pressing his shoulder against the witcher’s. 

    “I know.”

    Summary

    “You know,” the old man says with a knowing smile, “if ever there was a place where you could recite and sing of Kaer Morhen, it is within her walls. Perhaps your stay will bring some lightness to all of us and not only the child and Geralt.”

    Jaskier hides the stab of pain at the implication that Geralt might be glad to see him, instead he offers another simple bow and thanks Vesemir for his hospitality before fleeing into the room.

    “Oh, you fool,” he whispers to himself as he falls into a nearby seat, “you bloody heartsick fool, you should have run. Why don’t you ever run?”

    - - -

    After a year of training Ciri in monster-hunting and Chaos, Vesemir and Yennefer agree that her education needs a boost of court politics and wordplay, which means bringing an angry heartbroken master of the seven liberal arts to Kaer Morhen.

    Summary

    custodial definition: relating to or having parental responsibility, especially as allocated as part of a divorce.

    “I can take her,” Geralt says, and it’s all Jaskier can do not to slap him across the face.

    “You don’t know her,” he says at once. “You don’t know her, and she doesn’t know you. I’m not letting her go with a stranger.” He meets the witcher’s gaze directly and dares him to persist.

    Wisely, Geralt doesn’t.

     

    (Ciri finds Jaskier first and Geralt only comes along later)

    (Jaskier is not handling co-parenting well)
