    Summary

    They say cats have nine lives, but truthfully Jaskier has long lost count of his.

    Jaskier has always been very good at playing pretend. It gets harder after Geralt’s harsh words on the mountain. It gets harder still when he has to save a rogue Wolf and his Child Surprise from Nilfgaard’s gathering forces.

    Summary

    Later on, looking back on it all, Jaskier isn’t quite sure how it got so out of hand. It all seemed so natural at the time.

    The first time is a misunderstanding. An innkeeper assumes he is travelling with his wife, and not a grumpy witcher. Apparently, Jaskier just seems like someone with a wife. And it seems easier to go along with it.

    And then the nicknames start. And he can’t make himself stop.

    Summary

    When Geralt gets close he sees that Jaskier’s eyes are shut. He’s breathing freely, just a little congested from the plaster that’s settled on his skin, making him look chill and dead. “Jaskier,” Geralt says, relieved, “wake up.” He reaches to touch the bard’s cheek.

    But his fingers fail to make contact. They slide away when they get near, as if his body is coated in oil, or grease; something slick that allows no purchase. He tries again, pressing harder, and the resistance hardens in turn, like glass beneath his fingers, smooth and cold.

    “Jaskier,” he says again, and winces at the desperation in his voice. He touched the emerald, and it did something to him. Mad Tymon was right: it contained power. A curse.

    Geralt takes a contract to investigate a haunted house, and ends up haunting it.

    Summary

    “So do you have a name?”

    “Yeah.” The man who had saved his life less than an hour ago – the white-haired, absurdly buff, weirdly sexy man Jaskier might have called taciturn if he was feeling charitable and surly if he was feeling less so – dug into his second burger.

    Jaskier waited. “Are… you going to tell me what it is?”

    The man paused mid-bite, and looked at him reproachfully as if to say how dare you. How dare you interrupt me. Can’t you see I’m enjoying my cheeseburger. Can’t you see this cheeseburger is the most important thing in my life right at the moment. He swallowed, and said, “Geralt.”

    It turns out almost getting eaten by a werewolf can make your whole life go careening off in a new, terrifying, wondrous, artistically flourishing direction. Who knew?

    Summary

    When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)

    OR

    Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.
