    Summary

    Jaskier, oblivious to Geralt’s struggle, is quiet as Borch leaves, but it’s not like it matters; his heartbeat alone would have been enough to tip Geralt off. It’s almost deafening this morning, a portent of doom.

    Geralt should send him away. He owes Jaskier this, he thinks; owes it to him to keep him safe – keep him alive – even if he hates Geralt for it. One last wish, carefully worded and utterly false, and he’d be on his way to safety. Geralt would shadow him to make sure no trouble would befall him on the way, unseen, and then leave him to a normal life, to father a child or two, to raise his legacy.

    The very thought makes him want to throw up.

    Geralt makes a different decision after Yennefer leaves him after the dragon hunt. It changes things, though they get worse before they get better.

    Summary

    Jaskier was half way through a lackluster rendition of one of his least popular songs when his world went static.

    In his ears, a foreign heartbeat thundered, ragged and wounded. It felt as though his lungs had gone sideways with the sensation. Even the air itself tasted like it was charged with lightning, bright and bitter as ozone. Deep in his gut, he felt something urging himself forward, pulling him like some invisible string towards an unknown destination.

    Something brushed across his senses, rough as tree bark, and sinking into his skin to crawl like ants beneath. He froze, eyes darting around the room like he could spot whoever it was that had sent his senses scrambling against the hard earned shields he was always careful to maintain. In his hands, his fingers faltered, melody disappearing beneath the wave of wrong that felt like it was choking him.

    The answer was simple--and impossible.

    There was a Sentinel here.

    Summary

    “Here,” Jaskier says, holding out half of a sweet bun.

    Geralt just stares.

    “You bought that,” he says, as if the bard has somehow forgotten. Jaskier had waxed poetic for hours on their way to this town about his craving for a sweet bun.

    “Yeah?” Jaskier says, a bemused smile on his face. “Are you worried about eating stolen goods?”

    No, that isn’t what Geralt’s worried about.

     

    (Jaskier has a habit of sharing his food) (This stresses Geralt out more than it should).

    Summary

    “Don’t look,” Essi says, “But there’s a man three booths behind us. He’s been following us for quite some time now.”
    Jaskier can’t help himself and looks. Their shadow is partly covered by other market goers but the bard spots flaming red curls and arms big enough that he could be a blacksmith. He wears armor, so he’s probably a mercenary, selling his sword.

    In which Jaskier meets the witcher family, has some family problems of his own, and Geralt is idiotically unaware.
