#JOEY BATEY

[greyauras]

I love this. Playing the game, Dandelion's [Jaskier] voice severely disappointed me, and I was thinking, "Wow. Joey did it so much better". SO DOUG AND JOEY IN THE SAME SHOW? FUCKING AWESOME.

GERALT AND JASKIER ARE BACK BABY!!!!!!!

One of those married-off-to-a-powerful-ruler fics, BUT it’s Geralt given to His Highness Julian, Regent of Redania or wherever.

Julian is feared for his ruthless efficiency, but he’s very warm and sweet to Geralt. He makes sure Geralt has everything he could need, that the other witchers will be cared for, and never tries to make Geralt play the court’s mind games.

Geralt suspects that Julian enjoys his blunt nature, which is so scandalous to the other nobles.

When he falls in love with his husband, Geralt decides to court Julian in the witcher fashion. Much to the horror of the courtiers.

What do you have there, my husband?” Prince Julian—or Jaskier, as the Consort preferred to be called—asked as he approached Geralt from behind.

“A gift for you, my Little Lark,” Geralt replied, handing over a small, carefully wrapped box. Inside was a delicate flute, carved from what appeared to be bone. “It’s made from the bones of a Leshen.”

For a bard, a musical instrument was a perfect gift, but this one carried even deeper meaning. It was a testament to Geralt’s strength and devotion to protecting his mate. Jaskier, who often complained about Leshens giving his kind a bad reputation, would surely appreciate the irony.

“It’s wonderful, Geralt,” Jaskier said warmly, his smile lighting up his face as he leaned in to press a soft kiss to his husband’s lips.

Their tender moment, however, didn’t sit well with everyone. The visiting Duke’s expression soured, his face nearly crimson. “Your Highness, I must insist you put an end to this outrageous display of impropriety!” he huffed.

“Oh, come now, it’s just a kiss,” Geralt said with a sly grin. To make his point, he leaned closer, pressing a flurry of kisses all over Jaskier’s face. The bard burst into laughter, his mirth echoing through the room

After watching S1 of The Witcher, and subsequently reading a crap-ton of Jeraskier fanfic, I saw in the titles and author's notes references to The Amazing Devil.

"Love Run" and "The Horror and the Wild" changed the chemical composition of my brain.

"Ruin" has some unforgettable pieces, but I don't love that album as much. But that could also be due to my sound system not being able to handle the thunder of their instrumentation.

But my God, these albums are soul altering.

If I were able to choose a concert collaboration, I'd want The Amazing Devil, Bailen, Hozier, and Florence + The Machine.

Jaskier has been captured by Geralt’s enemies!

Said enemies feed the bard a compelling truth potion, and they command him to “tell them about Geralt of Rivia”.

Now, Jaskier knows he cannot resist the truth potion; however, he doesn’t need to. Jaskier is a master of broad interpretation, an admirer of Geralt for the past 15 years, and a professional in turning small details into narratives.

He launches into the useless ramble to end all useless rambles.

The drink they’d forced down Jaskier’s throat left his tongue tingling, the strange sensation creeping up into his brain like a sluggish fog.

“Tell me everything about Geralt of Rivia,” his captor demanded, his tone sharp with impatience.

“Geralt?” Jaskier drawled, his words slurring together like a drunkard’s. “Oh, he’s *pretty.* Doesn’t believe it, of course, but he’s positively radiant. My handsome witcher.”

“That’s not what I meant,” the man growled, leaning closer with a scowl. “Try again, bard.”

Jaskier blinked slowly, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. “Well, Geralt’s a softy, really. Pretends he’s all gruff and stoic, but deep down? Big ol’ teddy bear.” He swayed forward conspiratorially, his voice dropping to a whisper. “Wanna hear a secret?”

The man hesitated before inching closer, his curiosity overriding his irritation.

Jaskier smirked, lowering his voice even further. “One time, Geralt saw a newborn foal. He got so happy, I swear he nearly cried.”
