"v1 and mirage are the same person" "v1 is the other person in 2-s" well what if they were sisters that share each others clothes and talk shit abt other people to each other? huh? what then?

[emikomusubi]

my dad has been binging the witcher for the past couple days and basically been silent the whole time except to comment on how annoying jaskier is but 3 episodes into season 2 he turned to me with a huge frown on his face and said "what happened to the bard guy"

[dadralt]

I had to know you could be trusted. That I had not lost you.

[wren-of-the-woods]

It just occurred to me that Jaskier’s lute is broken for Geralt’s sake every season of the show

[ghasedak]

ok stupid fic premise: bards have magic, at least the bards of old do because hey, in this premise the word bard is originally just a contraction or whatever of ban ard. ba(n) (a)rd.

except everyone and their mother probably forgets about that as time goes by and all that gets abandoned and being a bard stops being so entwined with being magic or something.

cue a very magical jaskier, bonus points if he’s old as shit and was actually an OG magic bard, with more than a healthy disdain for the current state of the brotherhood. once again, bonus points if he says “it was better in the old days” type of shit and bonus bonus points if everyone else thinks he’s just being hyperbolic because he’s like what, 25? the fuck does he know about the state of ban ard or the brotherhood 400 years ago?

idk where else this would go but the word bard originally being a contraction of ba(n) (a)rd would be hysterical and i need someone to use the premise pleek

[twn-pks-lis]

Curse Fic Recs

I absolutely love Witcher fics where a character gets cursed so I thought I'd share some of my favorites! All of them are Geraskier except for a few Lambden ones at the end.

If anyone has other fics to reccommend, please feel free to give them a shoutout – I’d love to read them!

Cursed Jaskier

A Friend in the Wild by @samstree (Rated T, 1k)

In which Geralt acquires a tiny mouse friend who wouldn't stop following him.

If There's Any Sleep At Night by @smolalienbee (Rated T, 22k)

A mare, also known as a mara or a zmora - a malicious entity, a bringer of nightmares and a demon of the night. An easy enough contract to fulfill, if only frustrating, or at least that’s what Geralt believes when he first sets out to hunt down one such mare. What he doesn’t expect is to be wrapped up in a tale of a wronged soul, of love and of joy.

My Name is Hidden On Your Tongue by @anarchycox (Rated T, 10k)

Jaskier is cursed. Well his whole family line is. Every male born child cannot be named. They can be given a name, but it will never be a true one and people will always have an allergic reaction to saying this false name. Only a soulmate speaking your true name aloud will break the curse. The family though has never cared, they've only cared about the family fortune and marrying well. But Jaskier cares. He is determined to travel the world, find his soulmate and learn what his name is. And the best way to travel the world seems to be with a rather taciturn witcher named Geralt of Rivia. If he started to hope that Geralt would be the one to say his true name, well that was one thing that Jaskier would not say aloud.

The Cursed Jewels of Lettenhove by GoldenDaydreams (Rated T, 8k)

Geralt has no intention of getting involved with breaking a curse and naturally ends up very involved.

Silver and Copper by @heronfem (Rated M, 56k)

Jaskier is kept from becoming a bard. Geralt finds him anyway.

Priceless by @handwrittenhello (Rated M, 38k)

Jaskier was cursed as a child; when spilled, his blood turns to rubies and his tears turn to diamonds. When his secret is discovered, Geralt must save him from those who would take advantage of it. Together they work to break the curse, but the cost might end up being too steep.

Set My Wings on Fire by bilboakenshield27 (Not Rated, 4k)

Jaskier gets turned into a bird and has to warn Geralt about an ambush.

Sleep of the Dead by @dancedelion (Rated T, 20k)

Jaskier thinks he hit rock bottom when Geralt flushed twenty years of friendship down the drain, but then he finds himself suddenly translucent and rudely walked through by a traveller. Apparently he's dead - that's certainly a new low. He needs to find out what happened, and who better to help him than the man who's made more than clear he wants nothing to do with him.

The Sandpiper by @welcomemysentence (Rated T, 2k)

When Jaskier gets cursed into an actual sandpiper, the little coast bird, the only way to save him is with true love's kiss.

What's Engraved Upon My Heart (In Letters Deeply Worn) by @made-of-constellations-blog (Rated T, 6k)

Jaskier gets cursed to be a lark with a strange failsafe to turn him back. Geralt misses this, and realizes too late that he's not ready to lose his bard.

to be held by @wanderlust-t (Rated T, 1k)

The knife dropped on the ground. And Geralt’s thoughts reached to a halt for a moment. He had no rope. Not anything to keep Jaskier still. To hold him back. Oh. That was going to be a really long night.

Catskier by @al-in-my-head (Rated T, 17k)

Due to an unfortunate encounter with a mage while him and Geralt are apart, Jaskier is transformed into a cat. It just so happens that Geralt likes talking to animals.

Cursed Geralt

A Marvelous Night for a Moondance by @flowercrown-bard (Rated T, 1k)

There was a warning every child living near Oakwood Valley knew. "Don't go out at night, or you'll disturb the Moonlit Dancer." No one truly knew who the Moonlit Dancer was, but everyone agreed on two things: The Dancer must be dangerous. And he must be oh so lonely.

animal instinct by leodesic (Rated M, 13k)

Despite Jaskier's hard work, there are still plenty of people who hate witchers. They think they're monstrous, inhuman, only held back from violence by a thin veneer of control. One mage has a plan to spread his views by capturing a witcher and bewitching them to remove their control. When the Butcher of Blaviken walks into his hideout, he's convinced he's found the perfect candidate - and a convenient way to get rid of the pesky bard that's been singing his praises. Jaskier is forced to agree witchers are not human, but that doesn't mean they're dangerous. In fact, he's astounded by how many of Geralt's uncontrolled impulses involve touching.

Connecting dots by @dapandapod (Rated G, 3k)

Geralt is hit with a lying curse, and it takes Jaskier an embarrassing amount of time to figure it out. Now, it Jaskier only would stick to the safe questions....

Don't Go Stealing My Heart by @thesilverqueenlady (Rated T, 17k)

When Jaskier is stiffed by a lord on payment, he decides to help himself to proper compensation. Alongside the correct amount of gold and silver, he also steals a beautiful silver wolf's head medallion. It's safe to say that he is not expecting the medallion to be haunted by the spirit of a very grumpy, very handsome, very cursed Witcher.

Cuddles, Curses, and Confusion by me :D (Rated T, 3k)

Geralt becomes oddly affectionate after being cursed by a mage. Jaskier would just like his life to be less complicated, please.

Spectre's Soul also by me :D (Rated T, 31k)

When Jaskier tried to go on a date with a man named Rience, he did not expect to nearly be killed. He certainly did not expect to discover a beautiful valley while running away from him. He very definitely did not expect to find out that the valley was haunted — by an absurdly beautiful man. Or: In which Geralt is cursed to be a ghost and Jaskier is the first person in decades to talk to him.

Cursed Aiden

Headache at First Sight by YorkAndDelta (Rated T, 12k)

A story of how Lambert ends up looking after a cursed cat, helping a Witcher from a rival school retrieve his gear from angry mages, and maybe finds love along the way.

Cursed Lambert

the mortifying ordeal of being known as a cat by @skaldingrayne Rated M, 10k

Lambert is cursed to be a cat. Fortunately, he finds Jaskier.

[eredins-a-king-aint-he]

Sometimes I get a soul-deep yearning to make a discord server JUST for book/games witcher people, a low stakes/chill place to vibe and share book/games art and fic and thoughts— but I have ZERO energy to moderate a semi-public discord (been there done that, never again)

I still yearn for it tho… it would be so nice to be able to chill and chat in a witcher space without having to see n*tflx related stuff😓

[twn-pks-lis]

I heard from a good source you deal drugs...Is that true?

OH OH DEAR WORD OH GOOD HEAVENS IS THAT A MARAJUANA?!?!!? OH MY GOOD HOLY HEAVENS I AM RECIEVING A CONTACT HIGH FROM THIS UNSMOKED MARAJUANA!!!!! That's what you sound like right now.

Respectfully, your source is full of shit, I'm not the one doing the dealing. I may be a stoner but I'm not the one peddling crushed up Adderall in a baggie mixed with mid grade laxatives.

[starwrittenfates]

OOC ;; I started re-watching The Witcher Netflix last night (I know, I know.) And I'll probably do a whole post on my thoughts on it all later, but I gotta say, I'm so glad they gave Ciri green eyes and eyebrows in Season 2 and 3. Because I was right when I thought they gave Freya blue contacts and lightened her eyebrows. Idk why they did that. Weird costume department decision? But I'm glad it was fixed later on.
