Summary
After the — what, twenty? Twenty-five? — years of travelling together, Geralt must know who Jaskier is. How could his lovely, brave, kind-under-all-the-layers Witcher not realise who he was? Maybe he just didn’t care that Jaskier was a Viper, the apparent sworn enemies of the Wolves.
Because, despite being a master bard-slash-assassin-slash-Witcher, Jaskier is a horrible liar. There was only so many times where he could hurriedly steer Geralt away from a rambling drunk, spouting rumour and hearsay about the ‘Shadow-cloaked Assassin' before anyone in their right mind would begin to wonder. And yet, Geralt didn’t. And this went on for such a long time, that there was a fleeting, tiny hope in his chest that Geralt would never find out, and Jaskier would be allowed to live the rest of his life a happy lie.
“Jaskier, come with me back to Kaer Morhen.”With passion, fuck.

Summary
"Geralt didn’t like assassins, spies, or Vipers. But Jaskier was all three, and clearly, Geralt was still coming to terms with that."
After the inevitable reveal of Jaskier's Viper-ness, many of Kaer Morhen inhabitants had questions abut Jaskier's unbringing. This was problematic because:
a) He would rather avoid the topic for as long as humanly possible.
b) it was winter, which meant that dramtically throwing himself out of windows to avoid difficult conversations wouldn't be a good idea.
c) Jaskier still wasn't sure exactly how stable his and Geralt's newly-established relationship was, and he wasn't willing to destroy everything they had because of all the (very) horrible things he'd done in his (extremely) long life.But after a run-in with someone from Jaskier's past, and the panic-ridden manhunt that follows, Jaskier's families find themselves closer than ever - for better, or for worse.
