#it’s not a season of the witcher if jaskier isn’t getting threatened by a mage

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

no bc can we fucking talk about this

the fact that jaskier tries to pull away the second he sees rience reach for him. he tries. he fucking tries. even if he knows he can't move his hand more than a few inches he fucking tries out of sheer terror.

but rience still grabs his hand anyway. of course he does. jaskier never had a chance of avoiding this and both of them know it.

but you see how fucking hard rience squeezes jaskier's fingers.

you see how tightly he grips jaskier's hand, even if it's barely a second before his grip relaxes (and in the clip you can hear him hiss in pain). it's not even a necessary movement, since Jaskier would never have been able to evade his grip; it's very clearly a nonverbal command to stop resisting.

and it works.

jaskier keeps his hand stretched out. he stops trying to evade it. he knows rience will do this and he's too terrified (and exhausted from previous torture) to evade it anymore. because he knows it wont work.

and once jaskier's hand relaxes, rience's grip loosens again. he's not even gripping Jaskier's hand anymore. because he knows he doesn't need to. because he knows jaskier won't pull away again.

at this point all rience has to do is just. keep his own hand opened up to keep jaskier's fingers outstretched and laying on his. he's relaxed. he's almost absentminded about it. because he can be at this point.

because jaskier won't pull away even when he sees rience conjure the flame that he knows he will use on his hand.

i just. the way rience emphasizes his control over the situation by making jaskier keep his hand still even though he fully fucking understands what rience is going to do. he's literally holding what makes jaskier who he is in his fingertips and fully intends to destroy it and knows he can hold it gently because there will be so little resistance. because he has already terrified and tormented and shaken jaskier so badly that all he needed to do was squeeze his hand to get him to stop resisting. I'm just. I'm so sick.

Y'know those post s2 fics where Jaskier hides the fact that he was tortured from Geralt bc the witcher has enough on his plate and he doesn't want to be a burden?

Since their encounter in Oxenfurt, it was clear that Rience harbored a peculiar obsession with Jaskier. The Fire Mage had mastered a form of magic that allowed him to enter and even manipulate Jaskier's dreams. This obsession transcended Jaskier's bond with Ciri; Rience would actively seek the Bard out for conversations or even gift him something.

Geralt noticed how Jaskier's demeanor changed, fear washing over him whenever Rience appeared in his dreams, which troubled Geralt deeply.

Eventually, as Jaskier struggled to awaken from yet another dream, Yennefer came to a troubling realization: Rience was, in some twisted way, in love with Jaskier.

YENNEFER OF VENGERBERG THE WITCHER (2019 - )

[fanby-fckry]

Rience: *negotiating with Geralt* I have your bard. Give me ten thousand Redanian crowns and he will be returned to you unharmed.

Jaskier: Whoa, whoa, wait, you think I’m only worth ten thousand crowns?

Rience:

Jaskier: MAKE IT ONE MILLION–

Geralt: JASKIER STOP!

Prompt 56

Jaskier's tears magically heal whatever they fall on. Whether he's blessed, or has fae blood, etc etc is all up to you Geralt learned when he had a certainly fatal injury and his bard cried over him, only for the wounds to miraculously lessen in intensity, to the point he could stitch them up and he'd be fine in a couple of days. The only issue is that certain enemies are getting word of Jaskier's abilities, and are now desperately seeking some way to steal Geralt's bard from him in order to use those powers for themselves.

awesome descriptor. a) that’s metal as hell and b) i know he’s being sarcastic but nobody takes the time to make fun of geralt for going off on poetic tangents like they should

[jaskier-more-like-saskier]

can we talk about Geralt breaking Riences hands. Was it because he burned Jaskiers hand probably not but i live in my delusions and think yes.
