A Love-Hate Relationship (Squealing Santa 2k22)

A/N: Happy holidays, @amazingmsme! Hope you enjoy the fic! Big thanks to @hypahticklish for hosting this year's @squealing-santa (it's my first)!

Fandom: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer

Prompt: Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer Geralt/Jaskier Jaskier/Yennefer ~Jaskier accidentally lets it slip that he likes being tickled & they take advantage ~ Geralt & Yennefer have fun bullying their favorite bard & turning him into a giggly puddle

Word count: ca. 1400

It’s early in the morning when Jaskier wakes up.

He yawns, stretching his arms above his head as he exits the tent. The air is crisp, and he can feel the grass crunching underneath his boots.

Geralt and Yennefer are already outside, sitting in front of the fire, warming their hands, drinking tea.

“Good morning!” Jaskier announces. “Another beautiful day!”

Geralt grunts something unintelligible that sounds suspiciously like “Morning.” He looks grim as usual, but Jaskier has known him long enough to know how to read his face; he’s in a better mood than most days.

Yennefer is scowling at Jaskier from underneath the hood drawn deep into her face, her hands wrapped around a cup of tea. Do you ever shut up, bard? Her eyes say.

“Good morning to you as well. Did you have sweet dreams?” Jaskier gives her his most cheerful smile. “I slept wonderfully,” he continues without waiting for a reply he knows won’t come — Yennefer is not a morning person.

He trudges over to Geralt, who is stirring the fire with a stick.

“What are your plans for today? Kill a koshchey? Slay a striga?” Jaskier is hardly paying any attention to the steady trickle of words pouring out of him like a waterfall. “Banish a banshee? Mangle a mamune? Tickle a kikimora?”

Geralt tears his eyes away from the fire, glaring at him. “I wasn’t tickling that kikimora,” he grunts.

Jaskier grins. He’ll never get tired of reminding his friend that his fight with the monster just a few days ago certainly looked like a tickle fight.

“Oh, but would you like to though?” He asks. He just can’t resist; Geralt is too easy to tease.

Geralt exhales forcefully, not dignifying his question with a reponse.

“Or perhaps you’d like to be tickled by a kikimora?” Jaskier offers. “Perhaps some other monster? Oh let me guess-“

“Don’t like getting tickled,” Geralt cuts him off gruffly.

“What?” The bard feigns shock. “You don’t like being tickled? That’s unheard of.”

Geralt only scowls at him in response, but Yennefer looks up, suddenly interested in the one-sided conversation that annoyed her so much just minutes ago, her deep purple eyes meeting Jaskier’s. “So you like being tickled?” She asks, and Jaskier swears there’s a hint of a smile on her face.

“Of course I like being tickled! Everyone likes being tickled,” he proclaims, perhaps a bit too carelessly, he thinks in hindsight.

“You do?” She gets up, taking a step towards him.

Jaskier gulps. He’s only now noticing the look in her eyes, that dark, amused sparkle that suggests she’s not trying to make polite conversation with her question.

He can feel his cheeks blushing slightly. “Maybe… just… just a little bit?” He ventures, shrinking back as she takes another step towards him.

The truth is, Jaskier has a love-hate relationship with tickling. He’s so ticklish it’s invariably unbearable while it’s happening, but he’s also irresistibly drawn to the thought of somebody’s hands dancing over his helpless body, finding all his sweet spots, making him laugh uncontrollably until all he can do is beg them for mercy.

“Hmm,” Yenn says. “Just a little… I see.”

“I… I think I better go… feed Roach! Yeah, yeah, I gotta feed Roach, he’s not had breakfast yet, I bet he’s really hungry, wouldn’t want to let him starve, would we,” Jaskier awkwardly attempts to change the topic. He’s trying to squeeze past Yennefer, but his legs have turned to pudding.

Perhaps it’s because he’s dealing with an ancient mage thrice his age who likes power just a little too much and has a loose moral compass around wielding her own. Or perhaps, it’s just her eyes and the thought of what awaits him next that are freezing him in place. All Jaskier knows is that he can’t move, and it’s beginning to dawn on him that, perhaps, just perhaps he has made a mistake with his overly honest admission.

“He likes being tickled. Did you hear that, Geralt?” Yennefer is beaming, all the morning grumpiness wiped off her face, replaced by a devious smile.

Geralt looks up, rolling his eyes. “It was hard to miss.”

Her smile is getting wider. “I say we should verify.”

Before Jaskier fully realizes what is happening, she has pushed him to the ground, straddling him. He tries to wiggle out from underneath her, but she’s effortlessly pinning him in place with just her knees.

“Oh, damn.” He chuckles nervously. “I’d completely forgotten that you’re so much stronger than you look.”

Yenn does not respond, but her hands are hovering over his stomach, wiggling slightly, and just seeing those hands is turning Jaskier to jelly.

“Wait, wait, wait!” He wails. “I’m not ready! I’m not-”

Before he can get out another word, she’s attacked his sides.

Jaskier lets out an involuntary eeeeeek, trying to suppress the giggles welling up inside of him as her hands move down and start squeezing his hips.

When Yennefer unbuttons his doublet and pulls up his shirt, scribbling her fingers directly over his exposed skin, he can’t hold back anymore.

It’s just too much.

Jaskier throws his head back and starts laughing. All his efforts to fend off her hands are failing. She’s too fast for him, her fingers alternating between tickling his stomach, his ribs, his sides.

“Help!” Jaskier manages between bouts of laughter. “Geralt, help! Help me!”

He knows he’s made another mistake when he catches a glimpse of his friend’s face. Instead of telling Yennefer to cut it out so he can continue to drink his tea and stare into the distance in peace, Geralt gets up and walks over slowly.

He grabs Jaskier’s wrists and pins his arms above his head effortlessly with just one hand, leaving his other hand free to-

“Nohohohh,” Jaskier squeals. “No, no, no, NO! Wait!”

His protestations are falling on deaf ears as Geralt’s hand starts dancing over his belly, finding Jaskier’s most sensitive spots with surprising ease, the bard’s pleas drowned out by hysterical laughter.

“I think we have a sweet spot riiiight here!” Yennefer is digging her fingers into his lower ribs while Geralt is pulling up his arms up, stretching him until he can't move a muscle, and somehow, that’s making the tickling so much worse.

Being immobile and so completely at the mercy of his friends is doing something to Jaskier’s brain, making him panic, screaming at him to escape at all cost, his dignity be damned.

“Alright, alright!” He cries between giggles. “Please! Plea-plea-pleheahease!!”

“Please what? ‘Please don’t stop?’ ‘Please tickle me some more?’” Yennefer is pinching his thighs, sending jolts through his entire body, making sure that all that comes out of Jaskier’s mouth is more desperate laughter.

“Hmmm…” Geralt hums, his face still a mask. “I think you do like getting tickled.” He turns his head to Yenn. “What do you think? Is he enjoying it?”

“Oh, just look at him,” Yennefer says, laughing now, “he’s loving it!”

Jaskier can feel his face flush, and it’s not just from all the uncontrollable giggling and squirming. He is loving it, in a twisted kind of way, but there’s also something about hearing those words said out loud that’s making him flustered.

“I’m sorry!” He squeals, not quite sure what he’s even apologizing for — teasing Geralt a little too often? Talking too much? Being so deadly ticklish? “I’m sohohohohorry!”

“Oh, are you now?” Finally, there’s a smirk on Geralt’s face, and between fits of helpless laughter, Jaskier can’t help but feel proud to have made his friend smile.

They take turns pinning and tickling him until Jaskier can’t tell up from down and left from right.

“Stop!” He cries, his legs kicking helplessly. “Mercy! Mehehehehehercy!”

“But I thought you liked it so much,” Yennefer teases. “Why would you want us to stop?”

***

When they finally do stop what feels like hours later, Jaskier collapses on the ground, gasping for air.

He’s still panting minutes later when Geralt and Yennefer have returned to the fire and resumed drinking their tea, but there’s a content smile on his face. “I can see why you won that tickle fight the other day, Geralt,” Jaskier calls. “That kikimora didn’t stand a chance.”

Geralt glares at him, but then his glower turns into a mischievous grin. “Oh, you do love it, don’t you?”

“Nononono wait no wait wait!” Jaskier squeals as Geralt pins him to the ground, attacking his ticklish belly once more.

It’s only the morning, and it looks like it’s going to be a long day.

Summary: Geralt sat through the entire music competition without making a fuss. Jaskier thought he deserved a prize for that.

[ao3]

---------------

Geralt had been so patient. He’d sat in the heat all day, he’d listened to all those abysmal performances by Jaskier’s competition, and he’d been suitably proud when Jaskier (rightfully) came out of the music competition in first place.

Which meant that Geralt had earned his promised reward.

Jaskier was glad they had gotten a room on the first floor of the inn, this time, because he only hesitated long enough to set down his lute before he rushed Geralt, prepared for a tackle. Of course, Jaskier couldn’t realistically hope to take down a witcher on his own. Geralt easily swept him up and pushed him toward the ground, both of them landing with a thud on the pelt – was that bearskin? Must have been expensive – that covered the cracked wooden planks below.

“Really, lark?”

Jaskier grinned up at him. “I did promise you something nice, didn’t I?”

“Your promised ‘reward’ is a poorly executed attack?”

“Of course not!” Jaskier scoffed, then let his grin take over once more. “Your reward, my dear witcher, is a good, old fashioned tickle fight.”

Geralt raised an eyebrow. “A tickle fight.”

“Yes! Something to help you get out all that pent-up energy from the day, it’ll make you smile and laugh, break through all those brooding scowls of yours.” Jaskier pouted, batting his eyes. “Come on Geralt. It’ll be fun!”

Geralt huffed, and Jaskier thought that was it, that Geralt would refuse and Jaskier would have to come up with something else to make it up to him with. It wouldn’t have been the worst thing, he already had a few ideas lined up if it happened, but Jaskier was really hoping that Geralt would take the bait. After all, he’d won the competition. He deserved a bit of a reward himself for that, didn’t he?

And just when Jaskier thought that Geralt was going to heft himself up and go do… whatever witchers did to pass the time (sword polishing, probably. Geralt did a lot of sword polishing – and not the fun kind), Jaskier suddenly found himself with ten fingers squeezing into the muscles of his stomach and sides. He yelped out a startled, strangled little sound before tumbling into laughter, pushing weakly at Geralt’s hands.

“I wasn’t ready!” He cried out. “Geralt, you cheat!”

“You attacked first,” Geralt said. “I’m just defending myself.”

Jaskier growled through his laughter. Fine, if that was how it was gonna be…

He pushed forward against the hands, using all his willpower to sit up despite his urge to curl up in a ball and laugh his heart out, and made his own attack. Unlike Geralt’s strategy, Jaskier knew he couldn’t work his way up to Geralt’s weak points, not if he wanted to have a chance at winning. So instead, he swiftly maneuvered his hands up and into Geralt’s armpits, scribbling and scrabbling away. Distracted by his own efforts, Geralt broke into quiet laughter immediately, not fighting it off the way he usually did.

No matter the outcome of this fight, Jaskier had only one hope: that they wouldn’t get kicked out of the inn due to their volume, this time.

Inciting Chaos

Jaskier, Reader

Synopsis: You're bored. His lute is unattended on the ground. Can he blame you , really? (Reader is a lee in this one)

(This is a tickle fic. If you don't like that, keep scrolling.)

A/n: Thank you so much for all the positive feedback on my last fic! it really motivates me to keep putting out content, and it makes my day to see such kind messages! I love all of you!

    Your feet hurt. Your shoulders ache. It’s been a long day of running to stay out of trouble with monsters, and trying to bail Jaskier out of a skirmish with...well, everyone. The journey back to collect Geralt's reward is only three days, but the sight of the rolling fields ahead of you has grown boring already. The campfire flickers in front of you. You pick up a fallen twig from the tree behind you and toss it in, watching the flames consume it. The leaves wither, rings of heat encircling their edges, glowing red, and crackling. It’s pretty, but only for a moment. You’re used to travel by now, but the in-between journeys like this tend to leave you antsy. This evening is no exception. 

Ah well. You’ve found that when in doubt, it’s best to entertain yourself with pestering the bard...who is currently hunched over his notebook, dead to the world, humming to himself. Geralt is sorting out food for Roach a ways off.

“Jaskier,” You whisper. No response. His thumb bounces a pencil up and down in time with his leg. Not one to interrupt a train of thought, you decide to leave him be.

...And then notice his lute sitting neglected on the ground.

A bard and their instrument are normally inseparable - this is a golden opportunity for mischief, surely. If not, then certainly a means of occupying yourself for a moment, at least.

It’s easy enough to pick the lute up without him noticing. You hold it on your lap. Having seen him play almost every day, you manage to guess how you’d play a fairly simple melody.

“There…” You start, count a single beat, and trot out a brief melody to get the feel of things. Jaskier whips around. “Oh?”

“...once was a bard,” You grin, standing up so you can sway around as you play, making words up on the spot.

“Who found it hard,

To sing a decent song!

His name was Jaskier,

And he wished it were easier,

But alas,

All his lyrics...were wrong!”

It is very difficult not to laugh at Jaskier’s insulted expression. You press on and break into a hesitant backwards jog when Jaskier gets up and takes a step towards you. 

“Ohoho,” He laughs, pocketing his notebook. “You have some nerve.”

Hopefully the disjointed chords you’re strumming out between verses manage to hide the snort of laughter you let out. He walks a little faster when you make to get away, and the pair of you begin a slow, halting, winding pursuit around the campsite; one of you concerned about a performance, and the other with protecting their instrument.

“You...are playing a dangerous game,” He warns.

“Want it back?” You brandish the lute and give it an extravagant strum. He scowls, and breaks into a run. You run too, crying out the final few lyrics over your shoulder and trying as best you can to play an accompaniment.

“And try as he might,

Composing all the night,

Jaskier’s singing-

Is like ordering a pie

and finding it has no filling!” 

“Oi! Take that back right now!” He yells, footfalls growing faster and louder behind you. You cackle, removing the lute’s strap and brandishing it above you, still running.

“You want it? Come get it!” You crow, having decidedly too much fun. 

And then you trip. Destiny’s intervention, perhaps. It’s not enough to knock you over, but you stumble, and that’s all it takes for Jaskier to catch up with you. He grabs you, and a small fight breaks out between the two of you for the lute.

“You're going to pay for this,” He growls, grappling with your arms for his instrument. “Insulting a high ranking bard such as myself? Unacceptable!” 

“What’s the matter?” You huff, twisting in an attempt to keep the lute out of his reach. “My musical talent make you jealous?”

“Well, you weren't bad actually- but no! Absolutely not! How dare you!” He wraps an arm around your waist to pull you into his reach; you hold the lute away from you. 

“How dare you! I- composed a masterpiece! You- ah! - don't know what good music sounds like, obviously!”

 Jaskier's hand keeps squeezing your side in an attempt to keep his hold on you, and it really tickles. If you're lucky, he won’t notice your stuttered sentences and increased squirming - but then he does it again on your last sentence, his thumb inadvertently catching a sweet spot below your ribs. A giggle escapes.

“Take it back~,” Jaskier wraps his other arm around you.

“Or what?” You move one hand to pry at his wrists. He grips you tighter. You twitch and choke back a yelp.

“Or,” A pause. His fingers place themselves against your sides one by one, poised to attack. “I’ll tickle you.”

“You wouldn’t. I'll drop the lute.”

“Really? Perfect! Two birds with one stone!” His hands give two quick squeezes to your sides. The lute has grown heavy in one hand, so it falls out of your grasp almost immediately. Jaskier moves swiftly, reaching one hand out for just a second to catch the lute and place it gently on the ground before returning his focus to keeping you trapped, pinching up and down your sides. He picks up the pace when you immediately dissolve into laughter and protests. It doesn’t take long for him to figure out which spots on your torso make you squeak or yelp or laugh harder, and there’s not much you can do to stop him with the way he’s trapped you in a hug. You try to twist out of his grasp, away from his wriggling fingers, but it’s no use - laughter comes tumbling from your lips and a wave of giddiness hits; you’re cackling, giggling, yelping - but your pleas fall on deaf ears, and Jaskier’s very set on tickling you into apologising...which you’re not sure you want to do. Partly because you shouldn’t have to take back such an amazing song, but also because being able to laugh freely like this makes a nice change - not that you'd ever admit it. 

None of this stops you from pretending to hate your current predicament, though - Gods know things would be a lot worse if Jaskier realised how you enjoy this. Best to pretend you detest it. So in amongst your increasingly hysterical giggles, you throw in as many pleas for mercy as you see fit, peppering in a few insults and retorts every so often just to hear his insulted little gasps at your attitude. This doesn’t make things any better for you, admittedly - only spurs Jaskier on. The pair of you sink down onto the ground when your knees buckle; Jaskier's quick to pin you, thumb drilling into your hip and grinning as you throw your head back in hysterics.

“No!” You gasp, speech promptly dissolving into unmitigated laughter as Jaskier darts between tickle spots before eventually settling on one that has you arching your back. 

“No? No what?” He laughs, leaning in and grinning at you. You hide your face in your arm to avoid looking him in the eye. 

“Not there!”

He speeds up, encouraged, and your laughter grows more desperate.

“Not where? Not heeere?”

A string of pleas and curses immediately fly out of your mouth, which earns a chuckle from Jaskier.

“Apologize, and I’ll stop. I could do this for...well, however long it takes, really."

You shake your head, laughing too hard to do much besides push at him weakly in your hysterical state.

"Come on. I’m waiting~” 

Your sides are starting to hurt from laughing now, so it’s with some reluctance that you cave and decide to apologize between giggles.

“Okay, okay! I’m sorry!”

“For…?” He slows down his onslaught, but keeps his fingertips skittering over your sides. You grab onto his wrists, but don’t push him away enough to deter him.

“For tarnishing your precious ego! Let me go!”

“Hm. Not quite, but close enough. And…?”  His hands pull away, poised to attack again if you say anything untoward. You keep your grip and take a deep breath.

“I...won’t do it again?” 

“Alright. That’ll do.” He grins, letting you go and twisting his hand to hold your wrist in return to help you up from the grass. Residual laughter still clings to your system, and a warm sort of contentedness lends a glow to your smile.

“That was uncalled for.” You lament, fixing your hair.

“Ohoho, no. No, it wasn’t. I could've been much meaner. Count yourself lucky, Giggles.” He reaches out and ruffles your hair. You shove him gently on the shoulder, tutting. The lute is retrieved from its place on the ground as you both make your way back to the campfire, exhausted, giggly, and a little less bored.

These inbetween journeys are often uneventful. But that can be a good thing, sometimes.

O Último Desejo: A Saga do Bruxo Geralt de Rívia - Andrzej Sapkowski 

[tio-trile]

Second Jaskier and Geralt animatic that I made (and by “Jaskier and Geralt animatic” I mean “Jaskier singing annoyingly and Geralt keeping completely silent” again), and as I said in my YouTube description, yes, I am fully aware this is an once-ler song, don’t @ me 

[tickle-bugs]

Okay but. Any headcanons for Geralt?

*slams fist on table* BOY DO I

• Geralt of Rivia, Butcher of Blaviken, big scary Witcher man. He practically invented the “big tough guy is actually super ticklish” trope

• he’s not like deathly ticklish but you can get him pretty good almost anywhere. Worst would be his ribs, thighs, and feet.

• he’s nearly impossible to get though. Witcher senses + impossible strength means not only is revenge guaranteed, it is swift and merciless. As such, Yennifer and Jaskier have patented a technique that works every time. Wait until he’s sleepy or relaxed and pounce. Aka the coward’s technique.

• Tickling Geralt is an Art, a skill one must refine. You gotta either be super gentle (which absolutely kills him on his legs), or super rough (devastating on his ribs). Too little or too much pressure means he can block it out and then you’re screwed. Yennifer’s nails give her an advantage and Jaskier’s smile makes Geralt weak, so the two of them are a practiced tag team. Ciri is still working on finding the right pressure, which means Geralt frequently catches her and enacts revenge.

• okay Henry Cavill’s laugh is so nice tho??? It’s so nice and I imagine anyone who gets to hear Geralt laugh has to take a minute to process that a) that noise is coming from the scary Witcher man and b) he’s so goddamn beautiful. In conclusion, Geralt laughing is an absolute treat.

• He doesn’t actually mind tickling tho. Geralt’s actually a huge softy (canon in the games thank u) and I imagine that he allows it to happen just to make his family happy. Like, he can absolutely hear Ciri sneaking up behind him from miles away, but he still lets her jump on his back anyway. He’s a bit less forgiving with Jaskier because the bard’s reactions to being caught are hilarious.

• As a ler? Geralt is terrifying. He stalks his prey and catches them when they least expect it. He’s in the rafters, in the shadows, etc. You can’t outrun the Witcher.

• He strong thoo (his arms? *chef’s kiss*). He can just manhandle anyone okay?? He scoops Ciri up and wrecks her. He pins Jaskier like it’s as easy as breathing. Yen is a lot harder to catch, being a sorceress and all that, but he gets her too.

• He’s really sweet though once he catches his lee. Like he’s not all that great at teasing (whereas Jaskier is excellent in that department), but he tries. He gives genuine compliments about how cute their laugh is, how much they’re smiling, and he’ll throw in a joke about how much they’re squirming. Seeing Geralt smile while destroying you makes every failed sneak attack 100% worth it.

[sadsappylee]

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 16, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31! Sorry if that's way too many hkfdkhsk

It's totally cool haha!

3. would you prefer punishment or reward tickles?

A- oh my gosh I love both so much, but if I had to choose one of probably say punishment t-words

5. what does it take to make you flustered about tickling?

A- honestly pretty much anything, like just talking about it or expiriencing it in general is so fuckin' flustering dude, but esp teasing and stuff

6. are you easily able to admit you like it?

A- AAAAAA GOD no that flusters and embarrasses me so bad it's not even funny /)//(\

7. have you ever told someone outside of this community about tickling?

A- yeah I told one of my friends when I accidentally linked them the wrong tumblr (gf at the time, now just good friends) and she was cool with it. Another of my friends knows cause they're just...Not judgy about it and are really cool. They actually said that they could see how t-wording someone else could be really cute and I almost died

8. what’s your favorite thing about being tickled/tickling someone?

A- oof oh my God like everything?? I know that's super nerdy but like I'm kinda seen as the tough person by everyone and I melt at the idea of being able to be vulnerable and perceived as cute rather than intimidating. Don't get me wrong I LOVE getting seen as intimidating but sometimes I wanna feel cute y'know? Also just... The closeness of it is so nice, as a certified touch-starved bitch.

10. favorite spot to be tickled/to tickle?

A- depends on the mood, like if I wanna get wrecked I prefer my WORST spots like bellybutton, sides, backs of the knees, and back. Just in general tho it's probably my ears and back because they're total melt spots for me

11. lees, would you prefer to be tied up or free in a session? lers, would you prefer a lee tied up or free in a session?

A- again it depends, sometimes the idea of being completely vulnerable is nice, but mostly I'd just say I like getting like, pinned by a ler or like held in like a hug or in their lap or smthn

12. if you could be tickled by/tickle anyone (real or a fictional character!) who would you chose?

A- oh gosh, I'd have to say Jaskier from The Witcher, he's just so teasy and sweet and cute and GOSH id die

16. do you have any uncommon spots/have you ever discovered any on someone else? where was it?

A- probably my ears, back, palms, and backs of the knees

20. are there any spots you personally find underrated? where are they?

A- again probably backs of the knees, like they aren't my favorite spot but I almost never see them talked about and they're b a d

21. what’s one of your personal favorite tickle scenarios?

A- oh gosh, just the idea of being made to admit I like it or someone finding out I like it and thinking it's cute is just....ugh I DIE

A-

24. upper or lower body tickles?

A- oof I love both but I'd say upper body cause I have more bad spots up there /)/////(\

25. is there’s a specific position you’d like to be tickled in/tickle someone in? why that position in particular?

26. do you have any “unpopular opinions” about tickling that you’d like to share?

A- okay idk if this is unpopular or not but personally I don't really like seeing t-word videos cause to me they seem like...kinda kinky? And like I'm not AGAINST stuff like that cause I'm not asexual or anything but I'm not into t-wording like, sexually.

Fandom: The Witcher

Ship(s): Geraskier

Characters (lee/ler): Lee!Geralt/Ler!Jaskier

Word Count: 300 words

Summary: Jaskier had a particular game he loved to play.

[ao3 link]

---------------

It was one of Jaskier’s favorite games to play. 

How much could he “accidentally” tickle his dear witcher before Geralt caught on and attempted murder?

In Jaskier’s defense, the game had come into existence with a few true accidents, a day of too-soft touches before Geralt snapped. Now, though, it was almost never actually accidental. Jaskier was far too aware of every place their bodies touched and how to not know when he was tickling Geralt. Sometimes he just felt like being a little shit.

And it wasn’t as though Geralt wasn’t playing along. The man may have loved to speak in grunts and hums, but Jaskier knew more than anyone just how smart he was. Not to mention his weird witcher senses — Geralt could probably smell the intention on him. Jaskier had no idea how it worked, but it was probably true. 

So Jaskier played his game. 

A brush of his fingers against Geralt’s jaw. Tucking Geralt’s hair behind his ear with too-gentle fingers. Going in for a hug and squeezing Geralt’s side just on this side of ticklish. Honestly, Jaskier got away with it a lot longer than he thought he would. A lot longer than Geralt would normally let it go on.

Which was why he was only slightly surprised when they made camp for the night, and Jaskier was swiftly thrown onto a bedroll, pinned down by Geralt’s weight.

“Hello, dear heart,” he said. “And how are you, this evening?”

Geralt rolled his eyes. “You’ve had your fun, bard. Now it’s my turn.”

Jaskier gulped. “Oh?”

Geralt gave him a grin – a dangerous, feral sort of thing – and brandished his own wiggling fingers. “Let’s play a new game. I call it ‘How Loud Can the Bard Scream?’”

And, as it turned out, the answer was very.

Jaskier || Tickle Headcanons

( Requested by anonymous. )

General:

Tickling primarily happens between him and various partners.

Tried to tickle Geralt once; it backfired horribly.

Enjoys being tickled but can’t bring himself to admit it.

Can easily be put in a lee OR ler mood.

Worst spots are his ribs, hips, and thighs.

Lee:

This man does not giggle, going straight into full-on cackling.

Protests throughout the whole ordeal.

Tries half-heartedly to get away.

Can’t stand teasing in the slightest, especially from Geralt.

Eventually stops struggling, completely out of energy.

Ler:

Ironically, he can tease with the best of them.

Has tried various partners in the past.

Doesn’t dare attack Geralt after...the last incident.

Starts soft and slowly gets more intense and merciless.

A firm believer in post-tickle cuddling.

Geralt/Jaskier for the ask thing!!1 I have no excuse fo rwhy it took me this long other than I kept telling myself I would do it tomorrow

1. on a scale of 1-10, how ticklish are they?

Okay so Jask is so much more ticklish than geralt. Like probably around a 9 and geralt is a 3, but specifically for jaskier he could be a 5 depending on his mood

2. where is their most ticklish spot(s)?

Jaskier is a huge walking tickle spot but his worst areas are probably his neck or stomach. Its the worst when Geralt or a fling would find out, kissing and mouthing at his neck while poking and wiggling their fingers across his stomach because he can’t escape the feeling. For Geralt his under arms and I imagine his ribs are also a great spot (also his butt but dont tell anyone)

3. which spots are they not ticklish?

Geralt probably wouldn’t be ticklish in more gentle places like his arms, or neck and back. Jaskier has a chance of not being ticklish on his calves depending on the day though. Same with his hands probably from callus over the years with instruments.

4. what is their laugh like?

Geralts laugh is deep and very chesty, but jaskiers is all over the place. Most of the time its very light or hes cackling like a mad man

5. do they enjoy tickling? if yes, is it a fun platonic/familial thing, or kinky thing to them, or can it be both depending on the circumstance?

Geralt likes to tickle, more so than he likes being on the recieving end but after a hard fight it really helps him relax. Less of a kink thing for him though. Jaskier likes it! He thinks its really playful and tickle fights will normally lead to other things so he may of just had it turn into a bit of a kink.

6. are they more often a lee or ler, generally?

Geralts more the ler and Jaskier, while definitely a switch, ends up being the lee more often

7. who is someone in their life that they tickle often?

Each other and ciri obvs.

8. who is someone in their life that they get tickled by often?

Same as above

9. does the word “tickle” or any variation of embarrass them?

Surprisingly no fo rht emost part. Jaskier on special occasions if Geralts teasing or being extra mean, but neither of them struggle to say the word 9/10 times

10. are they embarrassed about their ticklishness, and do they try to deny/hide it?

Neither is very embarrassed about it, but Geralt will deny and hide it till the day he dies.

11. would gentle tickling or rough tickling affect them more?

Rough tickling is worse for both of them, but if jaskiers has been oversensitized light tickles can get him almost as bad.

12. is there a specific spot that they enjoy being tickled, either exclusively or more than other spots? what is it?

Jaskier likes his neck since its such an intimate spot and Geralt will melt if jaskier starts to trace his back.

13. is there a spot that they can’t stand to be tickled, either because it’s just too sensitive, or it’s uncomfortable/painful/etc? what is it?

Kdjbfksdfhfh Geralt ABSOLUTELY cannot stand having hips tickles why didn’t I think of that earlier. It just ignites his fight or flight response but he looses all of his motor control and just ends up flopping around alot. Jaskier can’t stand the top rib right before his armpit. Like he will scream okay, and if you’re going fo rhis neck (you can tell by now i desperately need more jaskier getting neck tickles in my life kajshfhsd) at the same time his laughter goes silent and he starts snorting

14. would they ever purposefully bug a friend/partner/sibling into tickling them, and if so, how would they go about it?

100% no questions for Jaskier.He just tries to annoy geralt as much as possible, playing songs, rambling, and eventually just climbing on him till he gets it. Geralt doesn’t as much, if he does want it he’s pretty good at just going up to jaskier and telling him. XD

15. does teasing affect them?

Jaskier yes, he will blush bright red and lose the ability to talk and Geralt loves it. Geralt is less affected but if you do it just right sometimes he won’t be able to look the person in the eyes for a few hours without fidgeting.

Blease... Jaskier headcanons?

showing results for: the love of my life

-he’s ticklish like? everywhere?

-he’s not as ticklish in certain places and some can’t get him to actually laugh, but they do make him at least smile

-on the other hand, some spots cause him to shriek (which geralt finds very amusing)

-his laughter is different depending on where you get him, but for the most part he has this really hiccupy laugh that’s a lil high pitched

-he’s a singer so you’d expect his laugh to be a bit smoother or more calm but you’d be wrong

-he squeaks practically every time the ler switches spots because he’s not expecting it

-he’s usually unable to fully form sentences so he’ll be trying to say something but wont be able to get it out bc hes in this fit of giggles

-his worst spots are his stomach, ribs, and underarms

-he teases a lot as a ler!!

-Can and Will absolutely wreck someone

-he somehow knows? where everyone is ticklish? by looking at them?? idk man its wild

-he’s That Type Of Ler who switches spots really fast when the lee is least expecting it and will just keep alternating between those spots

-he always knows exactly when to stop though!!

-if someone (geralt) is a little grumpy then you know whats coming

-he just really likes making people he cares about smile and hearing them laugh kinda makes him m e l t
