    Summary

    Winter forces Geralt of Rivia and Jaskier back to Kaer Morhen after a hunt goes terribly wrong.

    Jaskier expects cold halls, terrifying witchers, and at least one near-death experience.

    He does not expect:

    Geralt letting him stay in his room
    Vesemir treating him like a mildly concerning stray cat
    Eskel becoming emotionally attached to his terrible singing
    Lambert loudly insisting Geralt is “basically courting him at this point”

    Nor does he expect the growing realization that beneath Geralt’s silence lies something dangerously close to tenderness.

    But winter in Kaer Morhen has always been cruel to lonely men.

    And Geralt has been lonely for a very long time

    Summary

    Over the years, Jaskier gets a reputation amongst witchers as the guy who will get you out of bind if you need him to. He’s the witchers’ bard, after all. Need a hand with your injuries? A safe place to hide? A friendly face? Find Jaskier.

    Jaskier, on the other hand, has no idea why witchers in trouble keep bumping into him on the road, but fate is funny that way, isn’t it? He’s certainly not going to turn them away

    Summary

    Jaskier gets fired from his job as a professor at Oxenfurt because of his political views, though the official excuse is that he plagiarised a fellow professor’s work.

    Assets seized in reparation, and with nothing more than the belongings he can carry, he ends up accepting a job interview to teach at Kaer Morhen. The school is high up in the mountains, considerably smaller than Oxenfurt, and teaches a far more exotic population of students.

    Jaskier has never even met an elf, or a dwarf, or a dragon for that matter. Not to mention anything about the school’s legendary guardians, who, as it happens, don’t seem to like him at all. He can understand. After all, Oxenfurt is far from friendly to anyone that isn’t human. If they don't seem to expect much better from him, he'll just have to show them.

    Summary

    "The missive reaches Jaskier two weeks after it was dated. Two weeks after the ink had dried, the fated, dreaded words stark against white paper, haunting in its contents. 

    Two weeks after King Consort Eist had apparently passed, with Queen Calanthe not too far from following."

     

    Or, following a deadly plague in Cintra that claims the lives of the reigning monarchs, Jaskier is tasked with taking care of the young Cintran princess, at least until it is safe for her to return home to claim her throne.

    Will he be able to successfully raise the young girl, despite his misgivings about his ability to do such a thing? Or will his doubts win out, especially once they meet up with a certain reticent witcher, who not so long ago wished him dead and then abandoned him without a word in the middle of the night? Only time, he supposes, will tell.

    Summary

    When Jaskier is young, he is sold to a slaver to solve his parents' problems with money.
    He ends up at the royal court of Tretogor, a gold-collared bedslave, reserved for the royal line. Unlike the others, Jaskier doesn't settle into his fate, but rebels in what little ways he can.
    It's no wonder then, that when the warlord of the north visits Tretogor for negotiations, Jaskier finds himself in the middle of it all.

    His mother's face is sad, and Julian wishes more than anything he could change that. She tucks a lock of his soft brown hair behind his ear.
    “Remember how you said you wanted to help?”
    Julian nods.
    “There’s someone who… is coming to take a look at you. If you do well, we’ll get enough to pay the rent that’s still due. If we’re very lucky, we’ll get enough to buy back the farm.”
    “What do I have to do?” Julian asks.
    A tear tracks down his mother’s cheek.
