    Summary

    Mama was getting worse, but Luke was a big boy. He could help with the house, do the chores, and take care of things when she forgot. It was better than school. Better than the kids who laughed at him.

    He could get used to this new normal.

    Until he couldn’t.

    (Or: Luke runs away, the Fates meddle, and he meets a newly born Hermes on Mount Cyllene.)

    Summary

    “You know,” the old man says with a knowing smile, “if ever there was a place where you could recite and sing of Kaer Morhen, it is within her walls. Perhaps your stay will bring some lightness to all of us and not only the child and Geralt.”

    Jaskier hides the stab of pain at the implication that Geralt might be glad to see him, instead he offers another simple bow and thanks Vesemir for his hospitality before fleeing into the room.

    “Oh, you fool,” he whispers to himself as he falls into a nearby seat, “you bloody heartsick fool, you should have run. Why don’t you ever run?”

    - - -

    After a year of training Ciri in monster-hunting and Chaos, Vesemir and Yennefer agree that her education needs a boost of court politics and wordplay, which means bringing an angry heartbroken master of the seven liberal arts to Kaer Morhen.

    Summary

    “Are you alright?” Jaskier asks. He’s been dragged outside again during the middle of one of his sets. That’s fine. He was almost expecting it. Geralt has become a little bit predictable, and a bad mood usually means he’ll want a quick pick me up at some point.

    “I will be in a moment,” Geralt growls, and he pushes Jaskier up against the wall.

    And it's fine. Normal. New normal. Jaskier goes and he goes happily and willingly. But there’s something that is tugging on his mind, something that aches.

    He doesn’t put his finger on it until afterwards. “You really will have to start being more patient. I do need to make a living – and you dragging me away in the middle of my songs all the time is bad for business.”

    Geralt gives a chuckle, “you’re saving money on the whorehouses, are you not?”

    And oh.

    Geralt is using him for sex.

    -///-

    Or, Jaskier and Geralt start having regular sex. Jaskier thinks it doesn't mean as much to Geralt as it does to him. He's wrong.

    Summary

    Two months after Geralt breaks up with him, Jaskier runs into Yennefer at Coachella.

    “Oh fuck no,” she says, which he thinks is pretty fucking unfair, all things considered.

    Summary

    Someone is knocking on the large, wooden double doors that serve as the entrance to Kaer Morhen. In the middle of winter. In the middle of a blizzard.

    The witchers move almost as one, grabbing their weapons. They make their way to the door, Geralt stepping up and preparing to open it as the others fall into formation behind him, ready for a fight. Geralt opens the door.

    On the other side, Geralt sees… well, Geralt thinks he sees Jaskier, though he looks different, very different. Smells different, even.

    “Jaskier?” Geralt asks, startled.

    Jaskier smiles widely at him. Terrifyingly, there is blood in his teeth.

    “I brought you a present,” Jaskier says, nonsensically.


    For years, Jaskier has been silently telling Geralt he loves him. Only, certain secrets have always prevented Geralt from understanding. But now those secrets are out, and there are two cats loose in Kaer Morhen.
