    Summary

    It’s hard, at times, to keep playing at ignorance when the intrepid little moron dumps out the entire bundle of his sleek, downy-soft pelt in search of a new quill, but if he isn’t going to bring it up, Geralt’s certainly not going to pry, even though he does have to prompt the bard surreptitiously more than a few times when the flighty little pest evidently forgets all about his pelt and moves to happily trot along on his way, his freedom left behind in the dust. It’s a fine line Geralt walks, playing dumb while hyper-aware of the situation, but he manages to hold his peace and remain silent even when he wants to scold the selkie to be fucking careful. The bard babbles along at length throughout the day enough without prompting; gods forfend Geralt give him any sign of encouragement for more.

    Still, despite Geralt’s best efforts, he finds that the selkie–who has chosen Jaskier as his name of all things–is growing on him.

    It is, in a few words, fucking obnoxious.

    (Jaskier is a selkie who is absolutely HORRIFIC at keeping up with his pelt) (lucky, then, that he has a witcher to do it for him)

    Summary

    “You can’t….” Aiden gritted his jaw and looked away from him when honeyed eyes shifted towards the source of the sound. “You can’t keep doing this.”

    “Doing what?” Geralt sighed, scrubbing a hand over his face and wincing at the sensation of dried blood flaking away. He must have missed it in the cursory scrub he’d attempted to clean off the evidence of the brief skirmish.

    “Acting like your death won’t be devastating.” A deep breath. “Acting like Jaskier would want you to do this.”

    Summary

    “Don’t look,” Essi says, “But there’s a man three booths behind us. He’s been following us for quite some time now.”
    Jaskier can’t help himself and looks. Their shadow is partly covered by other market goers but the bard spots flaming red curls and arms big enough that he could be a blacksmith. He wears armor, so he’s probably a mercenary, selling his sword.

    In which Jaskier meets the witcher family, has some family problems of his own, and Geralt is idiotically unaware.

    Summary

    You are destruction, Jaskier’s mentor tells him. Death and destruction thrum in Jaskier’s core of chaos, his magic bringing nothing but annihilation, and Jaskier hates it.

    But music is not destruction. Music is creation, and it sings in Jaskier’s veins. There is nothing quite like the rush of joy and energy whenever music flows through him, and he forgets about the destruction that his chaos is capable of as music fills his soul.

    After decades of being a sorcerer, Jaskier finds himself in music, and for the first time, his magic brings life.
