Prompt 89

Geralt might be a fool. He confides in Jaskier one night about how he doesn't know how to court someone, and the normal ways of "courting" don't seem like things he can do and/or the one he wants to court would enjoy. The issue is that Jaskier is the one he wants to court, and he's asking Jaskier. Jaskier tells a story of one time a man tried courting him. The man loved to bake, it was his passion, and he baked many treats and loaves for Jaskier. Cakes and tarts and cookies and bread in Jaskier's favorite flavors, sometimes even in the shapes of music notes or hearts. Including Jaskier in on it all meant so much to Jaskier, and he said if he were to ever truly be courted one day, he'd want something similar. Jaskier loved the man sharing his passions with Jaskier. Incorporating Jaskier into the man's day-to-day life and interests was heartwarming and it showed off how they were ready and willing to compromise to add the bard into their life. He hopes that if Geralt begins courting him, Geralt will just include him on things Geralt likes and is passionate about. Like horses or sketching monsters or something. A ride in he forest, or drawing monsters together would be quite lovely! Unfortunately, Geralt got hung up on the 'baking' part of the story and is just sure that the way to Jaskier's heart is to bake him treats. The only issue is that Geralt SUCKS at baking. His brownies are more likely to kill Jaskier than do anything else. Those cookies are burned into bricks, and he doesn't even know what that is on the counter.

[slumberingcorpse]

Sweets are a rarity to witchers. Due to the cost of sugar, sweets tend to be too expensive for them, so when they do manage to get their hands on some sweets they treat them as if they were the most precious things in the world.

In Kaer Morhen, Vesemir would make sure to save up money in order to buy the pups sweets after a great achievement. Let that be the pups surviving one of the trails, mastering a new skill, and of course, earning their medallions. It was his way of awarding the pups and encouraging them. What he didn’t expect was for the pups to go feral at the sight of a honey cake. Poor Vesemir can’t count the number of times he had to stop the pups from killing each other over a slice of cake. It was only after Vesemir threatened to never give them sweets again did the pups behave.

However, the wolves’ love for sweets wasn’t only in childhood. Even in the path, the witchers treasure sweets above all else.

Geralt didn’t mind sharing everything with Jaskier, so when Jaskier found a sweet roll tucked in Geralt’s bag he didn’t hesitate to take a bite only for the witcher to place a dagger against his throat. At first, Jaskier thought he was joking but he saw the look in the wolf’s eyes and saw he was serious. Never again did Jaskier ever get in between Geralt and his sweets.

It was rare, but if Eskel ever came across a contract for a baker, instead of taking money, he would ask for a box of sweets. Hearing the rumors about how emotionless and money-hungry witchers the bakers would be confused by the request but would be even more confused seeing the pure joy plastered on the witcher’s face when handed the box.

Lambert has a stash of money saved up just for sweets. Every time he saw a bakery he would go in to buy something but being a witcher, most businesses refuse to serve him, so instead, Lambert would just break-in in the middle of the night and take what he wants.

The moment the witchers step through the keep’s doors for the winter on the table there’s a large plate of freshly baked sweets waiting for them. Like children, the three can’t help but run over and try to stuff their faces while trying to fend off the others. And like always, Vesemir has to step in and scold them.

[thelostgirl21]

I'm late to the party like you wouldn't believe, but I've got to say something, because I'm so upset!

Okay, unpopular opinion, I actually loved Jaskier's Season 3 hair!

Was it always perfectly styled? No. There were a few scenes where I personally thought it could have used a bit more volume, or a bit more volume in some places while a bit less in others; but, most or the time, I was more than fine with it, and thought it suited Jaskier well!

At times, I literally adored it!

Ex:

To me, those are moments where I thought Jaskier looked his best in the series! Loved the hair!

Then again, personally, I tend to prefer Joey's looks with his forehead cleared and his hair longer.

Like, this is I think one of the most gorgeous non-feral hairstyles I've ever seen on him:

(X)

This is an absolutely gorgeous man, and I personally prefer his hair styled like this than short.

(Note: I'm not saying he's not beautiful with short hair, too, simply stating personal preferences. Certain aesthetic choices are based on comfort, too, and he can 100% afford to sacrifice the "long haired look" for something that makes him feel more comfortable. He can rock plenty of different looks!)

Then, of course, there's the feral look that is just in its own category...

So why am I upset?

I've just found out that he didn't wear a wig in Season 3!

That Jaskier's Season 3 hair were simply Joey's own hair that he had decided to grow out.

And look, I'm fine with everyone having preferences!

That's not my issue. Having your own tastes and not being a fan of Joey's Season 3 hairstyle is not the issue at all!

There were posts simply mentioning that they hated that it looked so flat, when we could have been graced with something a bit more like this:

And I do get preferences when it comes to styling.

It's just that I recall how - since people assumed it was "an ugly wig" that had been forced on his head by the wig department, rather than what they considered "a bad hairstyle" - the comments on "Jaskier's hair" were at times downright nasty!

And I just gotta get out of my system that those of you that have been literally making fun of his "sudden 4-inches receeding hairline" (first I'll have you know I find receeding hairline pretty hot!), when it's kinda remained the same for 3 seasons (it's called BANGS people. Joey tends to wear those with his shorter haircuts! Look it up!), for example, really suck!

His hairline has always gone pretty far up on each side, even in some of his earlier work... Ex: Gopher in "Mount Pleasant" (2016):

Like he's got very thick hair that form a "V" shape at the top (my mom had that, but I didn't inherit it... And we've got tons of hair... Like, a lot! * ) and a pretty large forehead.

*

(That's me at 18, and then at 28 - before I brought them back to a lower back length - but my mom is the same in terms of thickness, she just has that V in the front I lack, and it never receeded any further in her life.)

And there would be no shame in having thin hair, or any form of baldness anyway!

So yeah! I remember sort of heavily ignoring all those "ugly wig" comments because I, too, had assumed it was a wig (turns out Joey's hair seem to be a bit like mine, and grow pretty fast), and at some point you choose your battles.

Did I think a bunch of you were immature assholes for needing to hate on that "ugly wig" so much? Yes. But you find those in any fandom!

Personally, I thought "the wig" was awesome!

But now, I kinda regret not having taken the time to be more supportive of Jaskier's Season's 3 hair given I actually like it...

Because that's just a (very sweet) human being's hair, that was styled in a way that a number of people didn't like.

Again, zero problem for those that thought it was badly styled, and that the look didn't suit Jaskier!

Critiquing what you find a "bad hairstyle" is no cause for shame!

But, for those of you that took it to the next level with all those "ugly wig" comments, you fucking suck, I sure hope you've since found out that you'd been openly ridiculing a fellow human being's real hair, that it makes you feel like complete pieces of shit, and that feeling like complete pieces of shit is going to help you learn from your mistakes, before you start attacking other people's personal physical features in the future!

"Well, I didn't know!"

Here's today's lesson:

When you don't know, please kindly shut up and assume the hair you see is the real thing!

Or critique the wig like you would a real hairstyle, asking yourself "Hmm... Is describing someone's real hair the way I do going to make me sound like a bully?"

Like I said, I'm aware I'm pretty late to the party, but the the kid in me that got heavily bullied in school over her own hair really needed to get it out of her system!

[dannydevitosthiccdog]

I'm sorry this is a necessary addition

I can't believe some people haven't seen it

"What is this stuff on top?" "That's dill, babe."

The Witcher Headcanon - Witcher Senses: Taste

Geralt has an enhanced sense of hearing and smell, so Jaskier reasons that of course his sense of taste would be enhanced as well.

Jaskier is maybe just a wee bit envious of Geralt's better sense of taste. It must be marvelous to taste food and drink on a whole deeper level than a human.

Even when the food at an inn or tavern is blander than h*ll, Geralt still appears to savor the taste, while Jaskier has to settle for suffering through the meal, or maybe be lucky enough to have a little salt in his pack.

And when the food is amazing? Jaskier wishes he could taste the food the way Geralt does. The food is absolutely delectable. The best thing he's ever tasted. Surely it is fit to set at the table of the gods themselves!

Jaskier is at a loss for words to describe the flavor. He looks at Geralt, and is instantly jealous of the Witcher's taste buds. The expression on his face suggests that the food tastes like pure sin.

Lucky b**tard

But Geralt's enhanced taste buds aren't just for enjoying food. Jaskier has seen him use it to keep both of them alive.

Geralt: Hm. Wine smells off. Let's see...

Jaskier: just the tip...of the tongue!

Geralt: *eye roll* Hm. Poison.

Jaskier: :O

Dead deer on the road with not a mark on it? Geralt's got it covered.

*nibble nibble*

Hmm. Wasting disease. Better stick with rabbit for dinner tonight.

Jaskier is impressed. The versatility is amazing! There are so many uses! He discovers another use for Geralt's tongue several nights later.

It's been a long day of travelling, and Jaskier has been taken over by inspiration and spent almost the entire day scribbling in his notebook and strumming on his lute. Geralt has not made as much progress has he'd like, but Jaskier is too distracted to keep up a steady, quick pace.

Oh well, there's really no reason they can't make camp early.

Jaskier is just sitting there later, minding his own d*mn business, when Geralt throws him for a loop.

He's been feeling off for the past few hours. Shaky, and a little sweaty.

He's staring at his notebook, glaring at the half-baked lyrics he's scribbled down.

He's getting worried. Had the meat pie he'd eaten earlier been spoilt? Was he going to die from eating rotten meat?

Geralt is abruptly at his elbow, grunting a concerned 'Hm'. His companion smelled off.

"What?"

"You don't look good."

"Excuse you, but I always look good!"

"You look like sh*t, bard."

"That's rude! Just for that, I'm sleeping on the other side of camp!" *Stands and stumbles*

Geralt grabs Jaskier's arm to steady him, but then doesn't let go. Instead, he starts snuffling at his skin.

Jaskier: *light-headed* Er...?

Geralt makes a thoughtful sound, then starts licking Jaskier's forearm.

"What the ever-loving--?!"

Jaskier can't complete his sentence because 1. Geralt is licking his arm. And 2. Geralt's tongue is scratchy, like a cat's, and he is having thoughts about it.

And goodness, some of those thoughts were making him blush!

Geralt apparently finds what he's looking for because he makes a satisfied grunt and lets him go.

Jaskier snatches his arm back, and stares at him, metaphorically clutching his pearls.

"You need to eat." Geralt says simply. "I can taste it in the sweat on your skin."

"You can...whAt?"

"I can tell from how your sweat tastes. It tastes bitter. Eat."

"But I ate earlier,"

"That was hours ago Jaskier."

Jaskier paused. Now that he thought about it, he'd eaten that pie for breakfast when they'd left town. It was now late afternoon!

"Well, f**k me running!" Jaskier exclaimed, feeling relieved. He wasn't going to die from a spoilt meat pie!

He took the dried meat, cheese, and nuts Geralt handed him and chewed contemplatively for a few moments.

Jaskier: *grinning suggestively* So, you can tell what's wrong with me by how I taste?

Geralt: *annoyed at the suggestive remark* Hm.

Jaskier: Do you have to lick my arm, or can it be any part of me? *eyebrow wiggle*

Geralt: Hmm (exhasperated)

Jaskier: Because, you do know that your tongue is interestingly scratchy, and it's making me rather curious as to what it would feel like on my--!

Geralt: *Shoves chunk of bread into Jaskier's mouth* Eat.

Jaskier: *muffled disappointed bard noises*

Geralt sighed to himself. Jaskier was going to be an insufferable menace this winter.

[inexplicifics]

Geraskier 7 or 11 for cozy prompts?

Geralt opens the door to the unfortunately familiar sound of his boyfriend squawking at the fire alarm.

For a long moment, he genuinely considers closing the door again and going for a long walk. It’s been a miserable day, cold and wet and full of cranky customers and even crankier animals, and the sound of the fire alarm goes through his head like a knife.

But then there’s a final triumphant yelp and the noise cuts off. “Got you, you miserable traitorous creature,” Jaskier proclaims, gleeful in his victory. Geralt rubs his temples, smiling despite himself, and steps inside, closing the door quietly and sitting down on the bench to pull his boots off. He tosses his socks down the basement stairs - landing them directly in the hamper, which makes him smile again - and pads barefoot to the kitchen, pausing to lean against the doorway and survey the disaster zone.

There is flour everywhere. It genuinely looks like Jaskier attempted to sprinkle some over every surface in the kitchen, up to and including the light fixture. The trash can is open, and Geralt can see the remains of an entire eighteen-pack of eggs in it; given that it was new this morning, that’s not auspicious. The counter gleams everywhere it isn’t dusted with flour, a suspiciously oily gleam that Geralt suspects is melted butter. The windows are open to let out the smell of burnt cake.

Jaskier is standing at the sink, scrubbing at a baking pan and singing along to the radio.

Geralt waits for a commercial break before clearing his throat. “So.”

“Geralt!” Jaskier jumps a foot and whirls around, splashing soapy water everywhere as he clutches a hand to his chest. “Must you move like a cat? I swear I’m going to put a bell on you! When did you get home?”

Geralt shrugs. “Ten minutes ago.”

“Dreadful sneaky man,” Jaskier complains, mincing across the filthy, damp floor to plant soapy hands on Geralt’s chest and kiss him. Geralt kisses back, of course. Jaskier tastes mostly like himself, and a little like butter.

“What happened?” Geralt asks once they’ve greeted each other properly.

Jaskier sighs. “I found a recipe for pound cake,” he says, drooping like an unwatered flower. “It looked really easy.”

Geralt looks the room over with deep skepticism. Jaskier scowls and shakes a finger at him. “Don’t you make that face, mister! It could have happened to anyone! It just - the flour bag wasn’t open, so I had to pull it open, and then I melted the butter in the microwave but there was some on the outside of the bowl so it was slippery, and then I was trying to do that cool one-handed egg-breaking thing you see all the chefs doing on TV, and -”

Geralt puts a hand over his eyes. This is why leaving Jaskier alone in the house is dangerous, but it’s winter break, so Jaskier doesn’t have any classes to teach, and Geralt can’t afford to take a two-week break from his job, so…here they are.

“I’ll get the shopvac,” he sighs.

“You will go and lie down until your head stops hurting,” Jaskier retorts. “I will get the shopvac. And then I will come get you in half an hour when dinner arrives.”

“I don’t have a headache,” Geralt lies.

Jaskier taps his forehead. “That little crease between your eyebrows says otherwise. Go turn on the white noise machine and change into something less damp and rest your eyes a bit, and I’ll have this whole kitchen spick and span again before you know it!”

Geralt raises a skeptical eyebrow. He’s going to be finding specks of flour in unexpected places for weeks, and they both know it. Jaskier huffs. “I will have it habitable again,” he corrects himself. “Now shoo!”

Geralt curls a hand around the back of Jaskier’s neck and pulls him in for a gentle kiss, then obediently shoos. Warm dry clothes and a half hour’s lie-down sound really nice, actually.

He dozes off to the sound of the shopvac and Jaskier’s singing, and wakes to the smell of takeout from the amazing Zerrikanian place downtown, and somehow, despite everything, it’s a really good day after all.

(Or HERE on AO3!)

[welikeimagines-andfandoms]

Imagine Geralt being with a woman who is very soft and feminine.

“This is not what I’d expect from you.”

“What do you mean, Bard?”

“You’re sitting on a pink sofa, with a fluffy dog wearing a pink bow in your lap while you eat a cookie shaped like a flower.”

*looks at you lovingly while you busy yourself in the kitchen*

“I didn’t expect this either, Jaskier but… she makes me feel safe and loved. With her I don’t have to be The Witcher or The Butcher, I can just be Geralt. Also her baking is amazing and I love this fluffy baby in my lap more than I’ll admit.”

[ladycibia]

not even Geralt could break the curse

[catscraftsandcommentary]

So I had some time to think tonight at work (in between operating heavy machinery, swearing at the materials, and trying to keep the line running, fun times!) And I asked myself, "self, hypothetically, what might @inexplicifics Accidental Warlord AU look like in another generation or two - once people really get used to witchers being The Good Guys (TM) and helping out?"

And I was like "well, they'd probably get invited to social events - ooh! Who'd like which events best?!? What would that look like?"

Geralt, as we all know, detests anything too formal or Warlord-focused. He enjoys weddings and receptions, but his TRUE favorite is baby christenings. Seriously. Put him in a room with a tiny baby and he's happy as a clam. He'll happily growl away (or weaponize his puppy-dog eyes against) grannies, aunties, and other family members to hold the baby for as long as possible. He's also 90% of the reason that witchers are now rumored to be able to bless babies.

When Mouse and Treyse bring this new rumor to the council, everyone has to just sit. And process for a minute. Because what the ever-loving fuck?!? (Jaskier immediately writes the sweetest lullaby ever, "A Witcher's Blessing", and it is the ONLY song that Geralt ever sings in public, and only ever to babies and small children. Multiple women blame this for their immediate conceptions.)

Jaskier adores weddings and festivals of all types, and if a happy couple includes details of how they met and/or fell in love with their wedding invitation, there's at least a 50% chance that he'll show up to the wedding with a personalized love song, holy shit.

Ciri loves tourneys. Loves watching them, loves displaying in them, loves sneaking into competing in them (omg, heir, NO), loves WINNING them. She's a menace. She has various stealth coats of arms that she rotates between when she's not supposed to be competing, but her favorite is the battle goose. Obviously.

Eskel doesn't like crowds or being the center of attention, which are almost inevitable with public invitations, but he does enjoy being the +1 for his family. Several of his and their interests overlap, and even where they don't, he likes to see them enjoying themselves.

Yennifer becomes well-known as an extremely efficient - albeit terrifying - treaty negotiator. She'll talk to both sides, get a list of their must haves, deal-breakers, would-likes, and don't-wants (as well as - perhaps more importantly - the reason why each of those are on that particular list). Then she draws up a draft and viciously negotiates a compromise. She is genuinely surprised the first time that both sides thank her for her help.

Vesemir, with all his long years of teaching, loves visiting schools and seeing any sort of student performance or sporting event. Kindergarten to university, drama to music to dance recitals to track and field meets to football games to student symposiums to science contests to... He buys out bake sales and funds club field trips and donates several fortunes worth of antique knick knacks to various schools. He's invited as a guest lecturer, a commencement speaker, a competition judge, a referee.

Lambert and Aiden, at some point, discover bachelor's parties, call dibs, and never look back. People learn very quickly not to invite witchers to their stag nights unless they want the entire party to get horrifyingly drunk - but at least Lam and Aiden will make sure that everyone makes it home (or to the wedding) safely. Perhaps not soberly, or sans hangover, but definitely without major injury. (And if the bride asks nicely and the groom and friends weren't total jerks, Lambert can usually be counted on to make a hangover cure. He really is a softie at heart.)

Dragonfly and Serrit get tapped for the odd bachelorette party or ladies' birthday parties. Anything that falls under "I want to be able to drink and party with my friends without worrying about some strange guy hurting one of us." They are extremely protective and have both been drunkenly proposed to several times. (Livi finds this terribly amusing. Gweld just wants to know if he can watch.) Milena and Zofia sometimes go with them.

Milena loves going to wedding showers and baby showers, but outside Kaer Morhen, she has to stay in sight of Lambert or one of his brothers. Lambert's rule. (She got KIDNAPPED, okay? He's allowed to worry!) Usually she'll take Geralt (there might be babies! He's excellent protection!) or Eskel (he's very quiet and has excellent manners, and his signs are impossible to fight) for the more, ah, female-heavy events. If anyone asks, they're her brother-in-law and genuinely like spending time around kids. And very, very married.

[ladyannemarie5]

Yennefer: Alright everyone, Jaskier's birthday is in 3 days, do you have your gifts ready? I made him a new batch of skin care products.

Geralt: I bought him two sets of his favorite lute strings.

Ciri: I will serenade him with the song he has been teaching me.

Radovid: I was finally able to convince my brother to do the Jaskier Fest. It was difficult due to time, but I got them to place cornflowers the exact color of his eyes all over the gardens and the royal cook is going to bake lute-shaped cookies. I've also arranged for the Oxenfurt choir and orchestra to play all of Jaskier's songs in the square throughout the day, and in mid-afternoon buttercups will be offered to all subjects so they can leave them on the golden statue of Jaskier that I have commissioned. Of course, I couldn't be left behind in terms of gifts either and bought a new hat with phoenix feathers. Oh, I almost forgot, I also had Valdo Marx imprisoned so Jaskier can decide his sentence after I read him the love poems I wrote for him.

Yennefer, Geralt and Ciri: ...

Radovid: I know, I went overboard with the hat didn't I, sorry, I just couldn't resist, he looks so handsome in the hat.

[bluedillylee]

Happy birthday to Yennefer and Ciri 🎂🎉🥳

Jaskier has a somewhat shaky grasp on what’s appropriate for a birthday surprise being shared with a child but hey, he made Yennefer laugh so it’s a win for him. Lambert who actually baked the cake is ready to kill him though- good luck Jaskier 

I like to imagine that Geralt doesn’t realize that other people aren’t in fact overcome with lust at the sight of Jaskier being silly and half-dressed so he’s a bit overzealous in making sure Ciri doesn���t see anything  

[ID: Jaskier jumps out of a giant cake wearing lingerie. Geralt blushes and covers ciri’s eyes and Yennefer is doubled over laughing. She asks if Jaskier is wearing her bra between guffaws. Coen is horrified that Jaskier ruined the cake and Lambert grabs his dagger prepared to stab Jaskier to avenge the cake. End ID]

[thedemonofcat]

Here is a concept that you might find interesting. Normally, there is a story about Geralt feeling immediately sorry for what he said on the mountain after he said it. However, it is an interesting idea to create a story in which Geralt takes just a little while to realize what he has done is wrong.

Due to Witcher living such a long time, it would probably be safe to say that time has lost a bit of meaning in Geralt's view of the world. Consequently, Geralt does not fully understand why Jaskier would be so upset by him stating that basically everything they have been doing together for the last decade has been him ruining Geralt's life.

The whole situation comes to a head when Geralt shares a half-baked apology for yelling at Jaskier, since that is what Geralt believes Jaskier is mad about, and then he carries on to act like nothing is wrong. After that, he is confused as to why Jaskier is still upset with him.

[mischievous-thunder]

Geralt: Would you slap me if someone offers you a chest of gold coins for it?

Jaskier: I'll do it even for some stale baked bread.

Yennefer: I'll do it even if I have to pay gold coins for it.
