a long list of songs that remind me of the witcher
okay i started this way too late at night when i was in a witcher mood so here we go, here's a deadass masterlist of some of the songs that remind me of the witcher (some might be a stretch but WHO CARES, not me)
[ SPOILERS AHEAD !! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ]
ciri
nobody by the crane wives because of her and mistle
little astronaut by aku p
rose by the oh hellos mainly because of the lines "wars are raising for her" but also some other parts, this one is a stretch
take me to war by the crane wives reminds me vaguely of her during the voleth meir possession, but just her in general
run baby run by the rigs
welly boots by the amazing devil can't fully explain why, it just feels right
soldier, poet, king by the oh hellos she's the king, of course
hard times by ethel cain
eat you alive by the oh hellos
jaskier / dandelion
blossoms by the amazing devil season 2 character arc
the old witch sleep and the good man grace by the amazing devil season 2 character arc again
soldier, poet, king by the oh hellos the poet, for obvious reasons
dandelion by gabbie hanna
dear fellow traveler by sea wolf don't know why. it just seems like the kind of situation he'd get into
rule #35 - microphone by fish in a birdcage kind of reminds me of his plot in blood origin? i didn't like that show either i just love him
little lion man by mumford & sons reminds me of season 3 when he has to tell geralt that "ciri" was taken by nilfgaard
rule #2 - moonlight by fish in a birdcage just him being a golden retriever when he hyperfixates on a person
geralt
blood upon the snow by hozier and bear mccreary
soldier, poet, king by the oh hellos as the soldier
the wolf by the crane wives
yennefer
as good a reason by paris paloma
tongues & teeth by the crane wives i don't know it's just? her?? can't articulate it but it's her
burn your village by kiki rockwell well well, if it isn't the embodiment of yennefer of vengerberg
pray by the amazing devil
pretty little things by the crane wives
the horror and the wild by the amazing devil
yenralt
the angel of small death and the codeine scene by hozier
i want to live by borislav slavov
wild blue yonder by the amazing devil
danse macabre by the oh hellos i know it's instrumental but. hear me out. it reminds me of the melange
like real people do by hozier
radskier
rule #7 - angel tango by fish in a birdcage
caesar by the oh hellos (i have zero reasoning other than i've always imagined the song to an animatic of literally any kind of gay betrayal i DONT KNOW WHY its not at all relevant to the song)
no light, no light by florence + the machine
i want to live by borislav slavov
the garden by the crane wives
yennefer and ciri
arsonist's lullabye by hozier
burn your village by kiki rockwell but under different reasoning this time, so hear me out - "i am the vengeful daughter of the witch." In this essay I will
geralt and ciri
everybody wants to rule the world by lorde - or tears for fears since it's the original of course, i just feel like the lorde version is more fitting for the dark & dramatic tone of the witcher
rule #9 - child of the stars by fish in a birdcage
space song by beach house i think just because of the lines "it will take a while to make you smile" and "were you ever lost? was she ever found?" once again, a stretch
jaskier and ciri
inkpot gods by the amazing devil in the sense of their adorable uncle/niece dynamic (i interpret this song in a familial way in most contexts). it could also very well be a geralt and ciri song
that's all i can think of at the moment. i tried to look for geraskier but i couldn't find anything yet. reblog with songs that remind you of the witcher and i'll add them, this list will be updated as i think of more

I have a geraskier prompt I am laying on your altar as an offering: Geralt catches Jaskier staring at him when he ‚wakes up‘ from meditation and falsely assumes the bard is interested to learn meditation (Jaskier was just staring at him longingly). Jaskier tries but is very bad at emptying his mind/concentrating on himself,maybe asks Geralt to hold his hand? Feel free to change anything or ignore ☺️
oh. my. god. BABE. this prompt brings me life. also I am unworthy of an alter but if i must have one let it be covered in vining plants
This started out at a nice simmering level of horny and got emotional at the drop of a hat and idk what happened but I hope you like it! 💖💖
__________
Fuck he's beautiful. It’s really not fair that he does this without a shirt. Yes, it’s hot, but I’m going to melt. What I wouldn’t give to melt into his arms and run my hands through that chest hair.
Jaskier nearly jumped out of his skin when one of Geralt’s eyes cracked open. They were eye level, Geralt kneeling on the floor, supposedly deep in meditation, while Jaskier took the opportunity to lay on the bed and ogle.
Shit, I didn’t say that out loud did I?
“You’re staring.”
Jaskier rolled over onto his back, silently thanking the gods he hadn’t actually said what he was thinking for once, “I just don’t know how you can sit still for so long.”
Geralt hummed, closing his eyes once again, “It’s more than just holding still.”
“Yes, yes.” Jaskier lowered his voice and knit his brows together to mimic Geralt, “Clear your mind, think of nothing, breathe deep and steady.”
The short hum he got in response almost sounded amused.
Jaskier rolled to sit cross-legged at the end of the bed nearest Geralt, this time watching with his head tilted to the side and a little wrinkle between his brows.
A moment later Geralt peeked once again and Jaskier looked down at his hands, blushing.
“Do you want to try? Since you’re so interested?”
Oh, darling if only you knew what I was interested in.
“Didn’t you say last time that I was an ‘impossible fidget’ who ‘wouldn’t sit still if my life depended on it’?” Jaskier grinned despite the memory of one of their larger fights over the years.
“That was almost ten years ago Jaskier…”
“I’m not mad, I’m teasing,” he promised as he slid off the bed and onto the floor in front of Geralt, “Do I need to sit like you?”
Geralt grinned, “No, just get comfortable so you can relax.”
Jaskier settled cross-legged once again, wiggling till he thought he was comfortable enough, “Wouldn’t this be easier lying on a bed?”
Geralt closed his eyes again, rolling his shoulders and making Jaskier bite his bottom lip, “The point isn’t to sleep.”
Jaskier took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he slowly exhaled and did his best to forget about Geralt’s shoulders. After a few moments, his fingers were twitching so he clenched them into fists, then he automatically cracked his ankle when the urge hit him and he sighed in defeat.
“Sit like I do.” Geralt’s voice was lower than before, almost fond and Jaskier was inclined to do absolutely anything that voice ordered. Not without a fuss of course.
“I thought you said it didn’t matter.”
“It takes more focus to keep balanced on your knees. You need a little extra distraction.”
Jaskier huffed but obeyed, keeping his eyes closed, ever the enthusiastic student. Their knees touched in the small floor space allowed in their room and the slight brush of fabric really shouldn’t have him sweating like it did.
Geralt shifted a bit and nearly whispered further instructions, “Palms up on your lap... Count your breaths so your exhales are longer than your inhales... Try not to jump from thought to thought. Just let them drift by... Relax...”
The heat was becoming unbearable and Jaskier wasn’t sure if it was just the temperature or Geralt murmuring so softly. He could absolutely clear his mind for that voice. If Geralt kept talking he would be putty in his hands, completely devoid of original thought and lost in the baritone and gravel.
However, he didn’t keep talking.
Jaskier did his best to measure his breaths, something he should have no trouble with given his training, but any time he twitched his knee brushed Geralt’s and he had to fight off a squeaking gasp. When Geralt took a deep cleansing breath he felt the exhale on his palms and nearly shivered at the sensation. He fluttered his fingers open and closed to stave off the odd tingling he felt behind his breastbone and nose.
Everything was suddenly overwhelming; the closeness, the little movements, the way he felt like he was floating above the floor. Somewhere in there was a pang of overwhelming sadness, something he had buried deep down long ago and forgotten the source of. He squeezed his eyes shut and grit his teeth against it, letting a shaky breath out in an effort to keep it together.
A shock ran up Jaskier’s arms when Geralt gently took his hands. Jaskier’s eyes flew open and he was mortified that a few tears escaped in his surprise.
“Don’t worry, that’s normal.” Geralt ran his thumbs over the knuckles of his fingers and looked at him with a gentle concern that was even more overwhelming.
“T-to cry?” Jaskier was embarrassed by the tightness in his voice, “You never cry.”
Geralt nodded, “I did at first. We all did.”
Jaskier sniffed, tilting his head and giving him his best unbelieving expression, a good mimic of Geralt’s usual mug.
“When you slow down and give it time, your body sometimes tries to help you process things. Some people laugh, some cry, some just sit in silence.”
Jaskier gripped Geralt’s hands a little tighter, letting out an embarrassed, watery laugh, “I don’t even know what I’m sad about.”
Geralt gave him the softest hint of a smile, “Glad it’s not me.”
Jaskier snorted.
“Do you want to stop?” Geralt’s face was solemn as he shifted closer, their knees now firmly pressed together.
“No,” Jaskier shook his head, closing his eyes and breathing deeply again. Tears or no tears this was the safest and most loved he’d felt in ages, possibly his life, “Just... don’t let go?” He didn’t know how he managed to get the words out, nervous as he was.
Geralt gave his hands a light squeeze and whispered, “I’m right here.”

You know what, I’m out here seeing Game!Geralt taking good care of Jaskier this and Book!Geralt would never do Jaskier so dirty that but FUCK THAT NOISE. Consider instead: Book!Dandelion talking to Netflix!Geralt and telling him that his mutations don’t make him a monster, that he’s not an abnormality among men but is instead the best of them?
Book!Dandelion pulling Netflix!Geralt aside and telling him that his insecurities do not give him an excuse to lash out at other people and that he is worthy of love and a hero in his own right.
Netflix!Geralt not believing any of this and yelling at Book!Dandelion, lashing out and saying awful but Book!Dandelion stays because he’s going to fucking get it into this Witcher’s head that he is worthy of fucking love and Netflix!Geralt growing confused when Book!Dandelion doesn’t leave like everyone else.
When Dandelion Stays after Geralt blows up at him Geralt has trouble keeping up the angry pretense and a few minutes afterwards he grows withdrawn and quiet and doesn’t say anything at all. And then when Dandelion comes up to hi and makes a quip about unhealthy ways to release his anger Geralt mumbles an apology under his breath and Dandelion forces him to say it louder.
Because what’s beautiful about Book!Dandelion is his willingness to listen to Book!Geralt the way no one else does. In return, Book!Geralt trusts him implicity because he knows there’s nothing he can can do to push Dandelion away.
So Netflix!Geralt, having that king of unconditional love? Big fucking deal.
All I’m saying is that Netflix!Geralt deserves some love too and Dandelion would be great for him.
#I know no one is on tumblr rn but I am having some THOUGHTS OKAY#look I love and appreciate Netflix Geralt and I am tired of people shitting on him okay#he's trying his best and tbh what he said to Jaskier isn't unforgivable#Jaskier deadass wished a man dead for being annoying#they are sometimes like that#geralt does need to apologize but he doesn't need to be goddamn blavikened all over again#fuck#the witcher#geralt#gerlion#dandelion#geraskier#jaskier#The Witcher books#myposts#headcanons

@superconfusedandreadytorumble submitted:
So I read that you're having a hard time today and decided to write you a little something. I hope that is alright with you and it brightens up your day. I send you love, hugs and kisses and hope you enjoy it :)
It had been a couple of weeks since Geralt and Jaskier had parted ways, the witcher following a contract while the bard went on to play in some lordlings home. Since then Geralt could not sleep properly. Half the night he was awake missing his companions sniffles and mumbles in the mans sleep. He missed the constant chatter or the playful insults thrown around during the day. He missed bright eyes and even brighter smiles, soft touches and looks he could not always interpret but knew deep down meant something. Something important.
Geralt was an adult, he was older then most elders on their tiny villages and he could admit, at least to himself, that he missed the bard. There it was out. Screw anyone who thought witchers did not feel. They did and they felt plenty. Somewhere in the back of his mind Geralt could have sworn he heard Jaskier snort. He still remembered the troubadour mouthing off going on a rant about emotional intelligence and how it was just plain cruel to not give witchers a chance to understand what was going on in their own heads. Geralt may not have agreed in some aspects but once Jaskier got going, the was no stopping him.
That aside, the chatty bard was still missed. If he kept up the pace then he might arrive in Mowick by sunset, where they were supposed to meet up and from there travel on together. Maybe then everything would go back to the way it was supposed to be.
Packing his things Geralt quickly saddled Roach and made his was out of the clearing back to the road. The sun hadn't risen yet, the moments before dawn pitch black. He knew his horse was not happy with him but then when they arrived, Roach would get the best treatment. Oats, fresh hay, Geralt would even give her a sugar cube. He whispered the promises into her ear before he got on her back and lo and behold, her steps did seem to have a lighter spring than before. It was quiet, but not eerily so. The witcher let it wash over himself and for a moment did not even think. He just felt peace. Up ahead the sky started to change colours, the inky black changing to a dark blue until the first golden ray broke through, illuminating the world.
And there up ahead Geralt spied a familiar figure coming towards him, waving and calling out his name. When they finally met, Geralt was faced with a bright and honest smile. For a moment he could withstand it, but it felt like looking onto the rising sun before him, so he turned his head away.
"We were to meet up in town."
"Oh spare me the lecture my dear witcher", Jaskier waved his words away with a flippant movement of his hand.
"I could not sit and wait when there was a big chance of me meeting you here on the road."
"You could have missed me."
"Maybe but I had this feeling Geralt-"
"Did you piss anyone off again?", the witcher interrupted him but there was a slight upturn to the corner of his mouth.
"As a matter of fact I did not!", the protest was loud and overly exaggerated, out of place in the otherwise peaceful surrounding.
Gerald sighed quietly, trying to remember for a second if he really missed the man as much as he thought he did mere moments ago. He looked back at his companions when the man whispered his name quietly and for a moment the witchers slow beating heart just stopped. The sun had risen, golden light spilling and pushing away the darkness and in his blue doublet Jaskier looked like out of this world. The brown locks radiant in the sun, face basking in its warmth and there was only one word that came to Geralts mind.
Beautiful.
The moment passed but the picture had burned itself into Geralts memory. He would not forget this.
When blue eyes turned back to the rider, Jaskier found a hand stretched out towards his person. Surprised he looked into Geralts face and saw the softness in his golden eyes. The white wolf probably did not even realise he wore that look but in the last couple of months their dynamics had shifted. It was slow and gradual and Jaskier was a patient man. He'd give his witcher all the time he had. After all it was worth it in the end.
"Get on Roach."
Grasping the hand he let Gerald hoist him behind himself and held on tight.
"I knew you liked me", Jaskiers laughter spilled easily from his lips as he leaned his head between the witchers shoulder blades. He only recieved a hum as answer but as Roach started to walk a big hand layed carefully on Jaskiers and squeezed it tentatively. Yes, exactly for moments like this Jaskier was ready to be patient.
I’m gonna cry this is so sweet and pure and thank you so, so much for writing this for me I appreciate it so much
#geralt x dandelion#geralt x jaskier#something sweet#for someone sweet#im sorry#i have no idea how to tagg#a little pick me up#im stopping now#submission#im gonna cry#im gonna deadass cry you wrote this whole thing just for me??#ajklhdnlvjjhf#I gotta lay down#superconfusedandreadytorumble

Chronic pain sucks out loud, and I'm sorry you're laid up for the night. Hopefully we can help to keep you entertained and a bit distracted from the pain.
So here's one for ya:
In Refuge in Lettenhove, I really thought for a moment that we were being set up for elder-blood Jaskier--the quickly hushed comments about him mysteriously not aging, and the way the final scream to save Geralt's life seemed at first to come from him instead of Ciri--was this intentional, or something I'm just pulling out of my ass? Did you kick this idea around and then abandon it?
Also that bookbinding class sounds incredible, and I hope you got a lot out of it.
Hello hon! Thank you. It sucks being in pain all the time, and even worse during flair ups. But obsessing over blorbos on tumblr really helps ♥️♥️ So thanks for asking me about Refuge!
I do often amuse myself by referencing the fact that TWN deadass forgot to show the aging process for Jaskier in S1.
But also, Jaskier is usually part elven (like, a quarter) in my fics even if it never comes up in the story. That’s just because the headcanon pleases me, so it plays in the background of my mind in a constant loop. So a lot of times that’s why references like that happen.
(But in Refuge, when Tissaia is annoyed at Sabrina for bringing up the queen’s age, and she defensively mentions Jaskier not aging, it was also a little crumb/hint that perhaps Tissaia is a bit more personally invested in the queen than she is letting on.)
The Rockrose and the Thistle (another Geraskier long fic I wrote) has even heavier allusions to Jaskier being part elven. That was because I was actually going to write a sequel where he finds out his parentage when he’s hired to spy on Filavandrel. But since very few people read that one when I posted it, the sequel kind of fell to the wayside.
Oh, and I’m loving the bookbinding class. It’s a multiple day class on medieval Egyptian bookbinding. I’m like a pig in slop. Thanks again.

PFFFF The newest Witcher trailes LITERALLY throws shade! They have the 'Geralt, but you've been such lone wofl so long, what change' and deadass show JASKIER before later shoving Geralt saying 'Yennefer' like a cheap 'no homo!' excuse. I can't. xD Whoever edited it knows what's on. xD
I feel so conflicted about the Jaskier-Geralt relationship in the show because on the one hand, yeah, they're definitely leaning into this non-romance in a way that can get uncomfortable for some, how shall I put this... jaded viewers lol. We know they'll never be canon. No matter what else we might say about Netflix's inability to accurately adapt the books, Geralt/Yennefer has always and will always be endgame, so getting intimacy between Geralt and Jaskier in these particular ways (flirty jokes, bath scene, argument staged like a breakup), while not explicitly queerbaiting, can make viewers feel... icky about it all. Especially for any show-only fans who might not know that Geralt/Yennefer is endgame. Many viewers, particularly American viewers, approach shows as malleable forms of entertainment that can provide them with the representation they crave, provided the fanbase is vocal enough about wanting it. And the more talk that surfaces about major, crucial changes to the plot that reinterpret huge swaths of the books' purpose and intent, the more it can feel like they might just change Geralt's love life too! Even though they (obviously) won't. And frankly shouldn't given that this is supposed to be a faithful adaptation.
Yet on the flipside, the Netflix versions of Jaskier and Geralt don't feel intimate to me at all. Their hostile introduction, Geralt outright punching him, the continued performance of 'I'm a big strong manly man who can't admit that he cares about others,' reducing decades of their bonding to a surprising, throwaway line, that argument when Geralt blames Jaskier for all his problems... it's terrible and I've never liked this dynamic for them (even as I, somewhat hypocritically, play with it in fic). So I'm like, you're intimate enough that fans are starting to side-eye the creators' intentions and yet simultaneously not intimate in any of the ways you should be if you were actually faithful adaptations of the book. And these problems, I believe, go hand-in-hand. By ignoring the actual friendship of the books, Netflix has been forced to "prove" that they care for one another by falling back on tired buddy tropes that, historically, fans have used as evidence for a potential romantic relationship. By not writing Geralt and Jaskier as having the open, witty, philosophical, caring-but-also-taking-no-shit relationship they had in the books, Netflix has fallen back on a dynamic that isn't doing their show any favors. Fans either hate it, or love it to the point where they expect something of the show that the show can never deliver.
So it's a mess! And that mess hasn't done Yennefer any favors either. I'm really not in a position to be defending that pairing - I've never hid that I'm not a Geralt/Yen fan - but whatever the books did that made others love their relationship... I don't think Netflix is capitalizing on that either. In that other ask I brought up how in the games their relationship seems to revolve entirely around Ciri and sex. If they're not talking about their daughter (or if Yen isn't being cruel) their relationship is just about how horny they are for each other, which... isn't really a relationship to me. Or at least, not the deep, "We belong together forever, we're basically soulmates" relationship that the franchise is going for. Same with Netflix. I never liked the foundation of their relationship being an ambiguous wish that tethered them irrevocably and a quickie in the rubble as a replacement for actually getting to know one another... but Netflix takes those aspects and emphasizes them to a disappointing degree.
"You spent a lifetime alone. What changed?"
"Yennefer of Vengerberg."
Yet when it comes time for the trailer to show us what this deep, insightful relationship is that changed a man after an entire lifetime of wandering alone... it's just sex. That's literally all Netflix is able to show us because that's the only meaningful interactions Geralt and Yen have had together. Here's a clip of them falling into bed together and Geralt, without any of that emotional work shown to the viewer, professes that he loves Yennefer the way she's always wanted to be loved.
Here's a clip of the joke we got where Jaskier is gaping over them having sex on the floor post-Yen nearly killing the lot of them.
I'm like... what out of any of this is meant to be appealing to me? Besides the fact that they're both hot as hell? (The casting does make my little bi heart happy lol.) For me, Geralt and Yen are a classic case of a story insisting they're meant for each other because That's Just How Stories Work, without doing any of the actual, you know, work to show us why they like each other, or how they got there, or why these superficial things (the sex is great!) trump the huge hurdles they should be working through. The games might have their flaws, but god bless 'em for letting the characters point out, "Hey... how do we even know this love is real and not just a byproduct of the djinn's wish?"
Geralt and Jaskier, as established, absolutely have their problems in the show, but I can understand why so many fans ship them over Geralt/Yen. And no, though bigotry can play a part, we also can't demonize the entirety of its popularity with, "You just hate women/are racist/creepily obsessed with queer men/whatever the latest accusation is." Rather, the popularity exists because, whatever their faults, it feels like they actually have a relationship in the show. We see them developing together in a way we simply don't get with Yennefer/Geralt and because that development isn't largely reduced to sex scenes—the narrative trying to pass every bonding moment off as True Love, with True Love equaling physical attraction—it comes across (at least to me) as more realistic and believable, especially given Geralt's character, someone who is emotionally closed off. If Vesemir (I think it's Vesemir) asked what changed and we deliberately cut to that moment of Jaskier leaving after Geralt drove him away... I'd more easily believe that yeah, this relationship is causing Geralt to rethink things in a way he hasn't for an entire lifetime. We've seen them travel together, become (begrudging) comrades, defend one another, do favors for each other, tease each other, have a major fight that they'll inevitably make up from, Jaskier is presented as Geralt's first friend, and none of this is tied to a questionable wish, or passed off as the totality of Geralt's development.
The fact that Netflix would include those lines, cut to a legitimately heart-wrenching moment between Geralt and Jaskier, but when it comes times to show his relationship with Yennefer, the most powerful moments are her without him (smashing the mirror, undergoing her transformation, stepping out in her new body for the first time, etc.) and their moments together are just sex—one of which is used partially for comedy—well... that just illustrates the problem for me. What relationship? The one that supposedly exists simply because the story says it's there? I don't think I'll ever be a Geralt/Yen shipper, but I'm perfectly capable of separating my personal preferences from subpar writing choices. Netflix is far into the latter. The way that they're adapting the story is, imo, hurting both fans of the book material and fans who are on the fence about book material. Because so few of these changes are working well, we've lost all the good the books contained and are now stuck with so much new bad. Basically, "No one liked that."
Except, of course, for the Geralt/Jaskier shippers riding the coattails of those tropes... though many will likely be disappointed and hurt by the series' end when they're not made canonical, with others growing frustrated with how the fandom has turned on them simply for liking what they were given. It's really turning into a lose-lose for everyone involved.

☕️ Netflix Geraskier
Some fool will read this and call me a homophobe, but I despise it. There's no proper foundation for their relationship either - Jaskier just latched himself onto Geralt, Geralt punched him, there's yelling and then Jaskier makes a pretty disgusting song about Geralt's trauma that could be used to hate on witchers, who are already constantly faced with xenophobia. Very healthy relationship right there. People compare them to Shrek and Donkey, but at least you can see their relationship growing and Shrek realizes he fucked up and apologizes to Donkey twn has nothing on this cinematic masterpiece Like there's an actual arc here with a properly developing friendship.
And the g/er/aski/er fandom is very. upsetting. It's filled to the brim with cishet women fetishizing an mlm relationship and even dragging p*dophilia into it. Deadass saw a fic where Geralt had s€x with an underage Jaskier. Wow thank you for turning my favorite character into a p*dophile you creep. Though I appreciate the other part of this fandom that uses ductape to fix this terribly written relationship.
Thank you!
send me ☕️ + [topic] and i’ll tell you my opinion on it!

I wish you would write a fic where Jaskier is complaining of hunger so Geralt goes hunting and deadass drops a deer in his lap to skin & clean.
Okay so fuck I had this sitting in my drafts for the past few days and totally forgot that I never actually posted it so sorry for taking so long I’m a disaster with no executive functioning skills
I kinda imagined this as being early in their travels together, when they're still learning how to coexist and also Jaskier is a petulant, obnoxious adolescent. I wasn't sure I'd be able to actually stretch it out into anything, so here's a tiny little something for your troubles. Thanks for the ask!
"I'm starving, Geralt! Absolutely famished!" Jaskier carried on like this even after the witcher had disappeared into the forest well out of eyeshot, not even stopping to question the distinct lack of an explanation. "I fear I might well and truly perish, Geralt! Do you understand?" He didn't shut his mouth until something heavy and large hurtled into his lap with a thud, knocking him backwards and sending his limbs splaying out in some awkward combination of surprise and a desperate attempt to catch himself. Pushing himself back up on his hands and attempting to reorient himself, his eyes fell upon the object in his lap - the carcass of a buck, massive and mercifully de-antlered. He shifted his gaze up to find Geralt looming over him.
"There. Dinner. Will you shut up now?" Jaskier only balked up at him before frowning back down at the deer.
"Well, that's lovely, Geralt," he sighed at last. "But you do know you have to cook it first, right?" In lieu of a response, a knife dropped on top of the carcass, and when Jaskier finally brought himself to look up from it, Geralt was already crosslegged on his bedroll cleaning his sword. With one final, world-weary sigh, Jaskier set to work skinning the deer.

...Okay but like--do we think Jaskier ever feels shitty, like self loathing and angst, because technically if it wasn't for him, Geralt never would have met Yennefer or fallen in love with her, and Jaskier deadass said he wanted to run away with Geralt to the coast and Geralt was like thanks bro, and went to find Yennefer because please stab me I've been thinking about this alot.
#hi I make myself sad#no I'm not trying to say yennefer is less important/in the way#I'm just saying--I've been thinking about it alot#geralt of rivia#jaskier#geraskier

I wanna read a fic where Jaskier is super worried about how Geralt will react to learning that the bard goes for men and women (or really anybody, pan!Jask ftw) and when it finally DOES happen Jaskier is so scared of how his best friend, this super masculine god of a mutant, will react, because no man like that had ever reacted in a positive way *coughhisfathercough* and then...
Geralt just deadass looks him in the eye and tells him he grew up and went through puberty in a fortress of nothing but men. He didn't see a woman until he left Kaer Morhen at 20.
"What do you think we got up to in our spare time?"
#the witcher#geralt of rivia#jaskier#geraskier#i'm picturing kaer morhen as something like the greeks did#as long as everyone was happy and consenting then the training masters didn't care what the students got up to#and yes#i have read 'Trial of the Linens'
