    Summary

    Prequel bit of the Meet Death Sitting series. Geralt keeps hanging out with the bard that wrote that song about him, and the kid keeps asking him silly questions he doesn't know how to answer.

    Banter, and pining, and obliviousness, is what this is mostly about.

    (Er, and then there's a plague, and some necrophages.)

    (Along Came This Song and Warmth occur between the two sections of the first chapter.)
    update: there is a song that goes with chapter 4! Fannishliss comes in clutch again.

    Summary

    Jaskier is on the coast, likely in a court or a tavern, or in someone’s bed, or being chased from someone’s bed. He’s singing or screwing or drinking. He’s safe. When Geralt allowed himself to think of the bard, that’s what he imagined.
     
    Geralt goes a little out of his way to attack a Nilfgaardian patrol, and finds something entirely unexpected.

    Yes, it's Jaskier.

    Summary

    Jaskier has zero intention of sharing the degrading experience of getting tortured. Ever. He’ll bury the memories and someday they’ll be as scabbed over as Caingorn was.

    Which had been completely, absolutely, fine. And the only reason that wound is bleeding a little now is because fucking Geralt came out of nowhere—after the most humiliating experience of his entire life—and reopened the fucking thing. But that’s fine because he’ll leave and return to the terror of his smuggling work and forget about Geralt all over again. There’s nothing hard drink and the constant danger of execution won’t get his mind off. Because there’s something therapeutic about fearing for one’s life that makes anything not of immediate concern go away.

    So yes, things were just fine before Geralt showed up.

    Two years post-Caingorn, Geralt rescues Jaskier from prison and sends him with Ciri to Kaer Morhen. However, Geralt suspects Jaskier is hiding serious trauma.

    Summary

    “How did you manage,” asked Geralt, with infinite patience and only a desire to know the facts, and not at all a little meanhearted glee, “to insult a sorcerer while his tongue was down your throat?”

    Don’t make me recount the entire sordid affair, Geralt,” said Jaskier, with a surprising note of desperation breaking through his gruff monotone. “I’m already having a rather shit day and all I’ve done so far is wake up.”

    “In my body,” said Geralt.

    “Yes,” said Jaskier, with the insolent cadence that was unmistakably Jaskier’s, but in Geralt’s voice, emerging from Geralt’s face and frame.

    “And I’ve got yours,” said Geralt, from Jaskier’s.
