Do you have dragon!Jaskier fic recs as well? Really fell in love with it due to shining

Looks like people crave Dragon Jaskier, which, like I 1000% understand so here’s a bunch of fic recs

Even Steel Blades Need Fire

Jaskier has a fiery secret to tell Geralt and let me tell you, it’s 20 years in the making. @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

Vi Kivan Ui Hefoc Vi Svihelen (Trian Zklaen Qu Rajntn)

So this is by the same author as before and it’s a sequel to Even Steel Blades, but it has Jaskier interacting with his dragon family so YES

‘My Own’

Aka the one where Jaskier and Geralt take Ciri up to Kaer Morhen for the Winter and we get lots of Witchery goodness and bonding up in the mountains. If you can’t tell, I have a large soft spot for the whole Kaer Morhen family. @valleyofwitcher

Wanderlust

One-shot. Jaskier is a dragon that loves to travel. It’s not a surprise that when he loses his memory he finds himself drawn to a Witcher. @the-real-dannix

the fire in your kiss

One-Shot. Geralt gets kidnapped by a dragon that feels awfully familiar to him. @winterladyy

At the Top of the Tower (In Lands Far Away)

This one is just an AU where Geralt is sent to slay dragon Jaskier but SHOCKED he falls in love instead. @ohmygoshwhatascream

Shining

This is a really popular AU surrounding the idea that Borch basically picks up Jaskier as well as his new dragon child once leaving the mountain because Jaskier has secretly been a dragon this whole time. This is a gen fic basically so its the vibe, this is the fic for you. @nemainofthewater

A Quest for Your Memories

This one is pretty fun, Jaskier has amnesia, doesn’t know he’s a dragon and begins to turn back into one against his will. This is still in its early stages but is being updated regularly and has a super fun concept. @blaidd-gwyn

Fából Vaskarika

I know, I have to bring up my own Dragon!jaskier fic, it’s just one chapter now but might add more later. It’s canon timeline but Jaskier is a dragon that’s been cursed into human form. 

[pizzinmyazz]

AAAAAAAAH! I'M SCREAMING! YES! FUCK!

[pizzinmyazz]

Okay but with dragon Jaskier. Like through the years more and more Witchers come to the keep for winter to see and spend time with the dragon until every Witcher from every school spends every winter at Kaer Morhen, and Jaskier has adopted them all into his hoard. Jaskier is such a big dragon and there are so few Witcher’s left that if they smoosh together Jaskier can curl around all of them at the same time. He’s very protective over his hoard.

Vesemir steps into the great hall and stops in his tracks, something deep within him relaxing at the sight.

Jaskier is curled around a pile of Witchers, his big body barely fitting in the remade hall. Together with the bard and Geralt, they tore down some walls and reinforced others, making space for Jaskier to fit when the winds are harsh and the winter comes truly.

The cold doesn't bother the dragon, but Jaskier was adamant that even his heat won't keep his hoard from getting cold, so one spring the couple stayed behind with Vesemir and they made some changes to the keep. It's not perfect, never will be, but it works for now.

Vesemir knows that Jaskier has an estate with a small castle that he plans on using in a few years. It'll be hard to leave Kaer Morhen, but his children are right - there's only so much grief and bad memories one person can take before it stops being a home. He thinks they're all pretty close.

For now, Jaskier is as content as he can be, almost radiating happiness. The dragon's eyes are half-closed, still trained on the Witchers curled by his belly, under his wing. Vesemir allows himself a small smile when their eyes meet.

The bard truly changed a lot when he came for the first time, as bold and full of fire as his species suggests, unafraid of anything, from Witchers to hard work. Jaskier is hard to hate but also hard to like and Vesemir is glad that he and the bard somehow resonate together. He's truly good for Geralt.

His most lonely pup is currently curled by Jaskier's chest, white hair standing out against the dragon's red underbelly, eyes closed. Vesemir can hear his slow, steady heartbeat, can smell the sweet love and deep contentment on Geralt.

For all he taught his pups to stay clear of others, Vesemir is glad that Jaskier's too stubborn to listen to Geralt. He's still too stubborn to listen to them, not when he's sure he's right. Vesemir knows it's only a matter of time before their winters will be spent not in Kaer Morhen, but in Jaskier's castle.

He doesn't mind as much as he did, a few years earlier.

Geralt is happy and, against all odds, in love with the bard. Eskel is content, his hair now shorter, not so ashamed of his scars. Lambert is cuddling with that damn Cat that may not be as bad as he thought. Coën's smile is more gentle than Vesemir ever saw.

There are even Vipers in Kaer Morhen now, tangled together by Jaskier's belly, 5 Bears now seemingly hibernating in the cradle of Jaskier's tail. Vesemir can't remember the last time there were so many Witchers in one place...

Well, he can but it's not a good memory.

This time, however, there's a dragon in the keep. No matter what they send, how many sorcerers and armies, Vesemir knows Jaskier can take them. He knows what his big, hard scales say, the fully developed frill of spikes along the dragon's throat, 3 rows of teeth.

Jaskier is an old dragon, probably one of the oldest one left, and he's not to be thrifled with. As hard as it is to believe, Vesemir now knows that they're Jaskier hoard, and gods protect anyone who comes between a dragon and their hoard.

You're standing entirely too far away, my old Wolf, it's nice and hot here

Vesemir smirks when Jaskier speaks in his mind, finally taking the few steps closer to sink next to Eskel, furs soft beneath him, Jaskier radiating warmth.

The dragon lets out a satisfied rumble, one great wing covering them all even more, allowing no heat to escape.

Vesemir closes his tired eyes and mentally says goodbye to Kaer Morhen, now absolutely sure it's the last winter they stay here.

[pizzinmyazz]

Yes, yes I'm doing the thing.

So. Anyone else but me notice tortured Jaskiers teeth look...off?

Like his top teeth are too even, the cute canines are missing, and his bottom teeth look like there are way more than normal... 🤔 Perhaps like a transformation??!!

Like this for comparison:

Ok. So, allow me to go out on a limb. Maybe I'm just spending too much time on this, buuut is there any reason his torture clip is right after the Borch flashback? Y'know cause we haven't make any allusions to Jaskier and his scale patterned clothing or anything. Or the suspish looks that were being exchanged by the bard and the human-shaped dragon in EP. 6.

What do you think?/

[pizzinmyazz]

For my lovely inspiration, @softnerdypeter, who is an absolute dear and made me think of this.

So, not all dragons are bards, but all dragons sing.

As dragons, it sounds a bit strange. More like humming, voices woven together like a thick rug. The youngest one get to sing the melody, because their voice hasn’t deepened yet.

It is a sight to behold, and so rare most thinks it’s a myth.

Especially because dragons are so rare now, and it is dangerous to meet up in your true form. (I’m sticking to the idea that their dragon name is something they saw or something that happened as they hatched.)

Jaskier is a dragon, isn’t he? One of the younger ones, one of the best kept secrets on the continent.

It will take him a few hundred years to get his voice as deep as his mothers, but he practices every day. But he has to practice as a human.

The thing that makes him such a wildly popular bard, is that he has history on his side. His memory runs deep, and human words come to him easily. He enjoys all kinds of singing. He listens to birds, converse with sirens, enjoys the crickets small accompaniment to the nights symphony of noise.

He takes inspiration from all that he sees. His best love song may star humans, but it is not always the inspiration behind the song.

The most moving love story he ever saw, he saw in a riverbank, and he translated their fight to an epic, spread the tale of longing, heartache and lust.

There are dragons that despise him for it, but when he meets Jackdaw upon that wretched mountain top, he is nothing but kindness.

Essi was not a bard. She was but a human, but Jaskier loved her as deeply as any sister he ever had. For her, he tried to sing in the old way, let her sing the melody.

Geralt almost found out then.

But the day he actually finds out, the day Jaskier reveals his long held secret, is when he brings Geralt to his hatching place along the coast.

He brings Geralt to meet his mother.

Geralt listens, as Jaskier and his mother sings together. And at night, laying in rented beds at the inn, one entire room apart, Geralt asks him about it.

Geralt never asks to see his dragon form, he knows of the dangers.

But when they have found the cub of cintra, when they are in the deep mountains of Kaer Morhen, Jaskier spreads his wings for them, scales glistening in the sun.

Wyverns don’t sing, but when Jaskier sings in his dragon voice from atop the mountain, all of nature is still. They listen.

[pizzinmyazz]

After being abandoned by Geralt and with Nilfgaard hot on his trail, Jaskier decides to forsake his human form and embrace his true nature as a dragon, retreating to the Blue Mountains.

Winter has descended upon Kaer Morhen, and its inhabitants are none too pleased with their new dragon neighbor, especially after discovering that the formidable creature is none other than Geralt’s bard.

Now, Geralt faces the daunting task of apologizing to a literal dragon in hopes of persuading Jaskier to resume his human guise.

[pizzinmyazz]

You’re a dragon, Jaskier

I just finished Witcher s2 and I have thoughts.  Once again, I bounced this off of @aplaceofnonsense​, my enabler.

Me:  Hey, remember that “Jaskier is immortal” theory I had from last year?  I have to amend that.  I don’t think he’s immortal.

Saph: …he’s not?

Me: He’s not immortal.  He’s a dragon.

Saph: um…WUT

(Season 2 spoilers below the cut)

Saw this comic so naturally I had to draw Dragon!Jaskier with his hoard.

[pizzinmyazz]

Jaskier never hid the fact that he was a dragon from Geralt; the witcher simply didn't believe him.

However, Jaskier never mentioned that in dragon years, he was quite young, considered more of a dragonling rather than a fully grown dragon, despite appearing as an adult human.

Later, when Geralt meets Borch, another dragon, he begins to wonder if Jaskier was telling the truth. Eventually, Geralt witnesses Jaskier's dragon form.

To his surprise, Jaskier as a dragon is rather fluffy and only reaches up to Geralt's knees.

[pizzinmyazz]

Red/BlackDragon!Jaskier

Old wounds still pull painfully when he stretches his wings that day at the cliff. So many beings had tried to kill him for so long, to take from him the treasures accumulated over centuries, the things carefully hoarded and tucked away beneath a lonely mountain. Yet, what managed to utterly destroy him in the end didn’t even actively try to, didn’t even seek to possess his riches. He roars and launches himself off the cliff, setting fire to the trees beneath. A dragon does not handle grief very well.

[3/?] Creature!Jaskier Au

[pizzinmyazz]

I love when I can tie a non-human Jaskier headcanon into the books.

For example, in the books there is a brief moment of "oh shit" about Regis being a vampire but mainly from our pretty little bard. Then everyone pretty promptly decides he's chill and there's the occasional barrage of question from Dandelion (the english version of his name from the books)

Why did he panic? Because that would mean from the moment they met that Regis knew exactly what he was. Being a dragon, siren, fae, banshee, or even another higher vampire would all be reasons to panic a wee bit when meeting something that could blow your cover at any moment.

[pizzinmyazz]

Here’s the pitch: Jaskier gets sick two months into his stay at Kaer Morhen. He knows colds and the flu, and he knows this is neither. The Wolves soon realize that his ailment is of the magical variety and try to figure out what spell he’s under. Only they quickly realize it’s no spell, it’s just Jaskier. Jaskier isn’t quite human, and he’s about to find out in the most surprising of ways. And there’s smut. Because I said so.

The question is, should I post this in two parts (non-smut half and smut half) or just all at once? I’m sure I’ll be done with at least the non-smut half by the end of the day, but I haven’t written true smut in years so that might take me longer to flesh it out. Thoughts?

[pizzinmyazz]

I love Nonhuman!Jaskier more than anyone. It’s honestly most of the fics I read right now

But there is something so beautifully poetic about this completely human bard treasuring these two quasi-immortal beings as if they are the most fragile things on earth. How he just looks at these warriors with skin so thick it might as well be bulletproof and saying “yes, my fragile little self is going to make sure these people are safe and loved because they are precious and lovely and need my protection”.

and being correct

[pizzinmyazz]

why have jaskier eat random flower petals in the kaer morhen alchemy lab if not hinting at nonhuman jask

[pizzinmyazz]

I’ve read a few Aiden gets captured instead of killed fics, along with a few Jaskier gets captured fics, and came up with this weird plot idea.

Lambert tells the other wolves about Aiden, his mate, one winter and asks if he can come to the keep for the winters. Vesemir vehemently says no and refuses to allow Aiden to come.

Geralt and Eskel are surprised at first and instinctively refuse, but after some time to think it over, decide they trust Lambert. They come to Lambert at the end of the winter and tell him that they want to get to know this Aiden before deciding whether or not they would allow him to winter at the keep.

They spend the next couple years or so meeting up with each other and getting to know him before they decide that he’s a part of the pack and should be allowed to come to the keep. By then Aiden had also decided that he liked them and that they were His, essentially imprinting on them like a cat deciding a group of humans is his now, with Lambert being his Favorite. They then spend the next 2 winters wearing Vesemir down into accepting aiden into the keep, and at the end of the 2nd winter vesemir finally says yes.

However, when they go out that spring they can’t find aiden. They eventually find out that he got ambushed and killed, and they go track down and kill all of Aiden's murderers.

A few years later, When Jaskier(who is definitely not human and very long lived, perhaps a Kitsune, I really like Kitsune. loyalty, curiosity, adventurous, seductive, and love anything that can be considered a form of art(though specifics depend on the individual), among other things) had split up with his witcher(s) for a month or so, like he does sometimes, he gets taken, and somehow ends up becoming a slave/prisoner to the mage(?) that also has an alive Aiden. An alive and very feral Aiden. He’s been tortured so much that he locked his memories and self away as a way to keep safe and let his instincts take complete control, leaving him acting like some kind of wild cat. Aiden tries to kill Jaskier, instincts registering another predator, before he actually manages to catch Jaskier’s scent and instinctively registers him as someone that is His.

Perhaps Jaskier is stuck in an animal form and can somewhat communicate with Aiden through body language and/or some kind of mental link that uses emotions and pictures and sensations to communicate(perhaps the mental link is a part of how Jaskier’s species communicate with each other, as a way to make it less likely to misunderstand someone or something). They don’t fully understand each other because Aiden is using cat instincts and language and Jaskier is not, but They can still somehow understand each other a little bit.

They eventually manage to escape and start trying to find the rest of the pack, especially their mates. They pick up their trail a few times but also lose them within a few days. It starts to get colder, and Jaskier starts leading them north, telling Aiden that the pack has a winter den. They somehow manage to get to the last town at the same time (the rest of?) the Wolf/wolves are leaving town and getting ready to climb the mountain and they ambush them, leading to a very happy/sad/stressed situation.

After Jaskier finally gets whatever it was off him that kept him from turning human, it takes awhile for him to regain his control over his animal instincts/behavior, but it takes Aiden much longer to heal enough mentally to leave his feral state, and his memories are also slow to return.
