“You love your mother, Sherlock?”
John watched the muscles in Sherlock’s jaw jump. He nodded in one sharp jerk.
“Then we’re going to her party and making her happy.” John let out a resigned sigh. “As a ruddy couple, you bastard.”

Summary
"If life could give me one blessing, it would be to take you off my hands!"
A long, pregnant pause lingers between them, wherein a small eternity passes before him in a handful of seconds. There's a wrench in his chest, where his heart should be, shattering to pieces. He might choke on it, the blood he knows should be slicking his throat and suffocating him. All very poetic, he decides, and fitting, for the end. Geralt is still looking at him, snarling, tension rolling off him in waves, teetering there on the edge of the cliff, and he makes his decision.
"Have it your way, then, Geralt."
Yellow eyes, furious and, if he should let himself indulge, afraid, are the last thing he sees as he takes a step back towards the edge and then he's falling, falling, and there is nothing but blue sky and fog and the edges of the mountains rising to meet him.
(Or: Jaskier makes a different decision, that day on the mountain. It all just sort of goes to shit from there, really.)

Summary
Yennefer took a deep breath, trying to calm the helpless panic that started to creep into her chest at the witcher's lack of care. She muted her voice to a near whisper, knowing full well that he would still be able to hear her, and called after him, in a final, desperate bid for his help:
“He was smuggling elves out of Redania!”
The witcher stopped abruptly.
She could see how his shoulders tensed, as he stood there, stock still at the end of the street. Nothing happened for a long moment.
And then, he turned his head, his eyes truly locking on hers for a second time. Only they were different now. Still gold and piercing, but serious. Without a trace of the previous contempt.
“Fuck.”
Yennefer is fruitlessly searching for Jaskier after he gets kidnapped in Oxenfurt.
Then, she runs into Lambert.

Summary
"Which child minder?" Sherlock asks with an air of suspicion. "Not the same one you used last Tuesday, I hope. Rosamund doesn't like that insufferable woman, and who could blame her? Imagine, thinking someone of Watson's intellect would be duped by cheap parlour tricks and tomfoolery."
"... Sherlock, it's peek-a-boo. Everybody plays peek-a-boo with babies."
After moving back into 221B with Rosie, John discovers that Sherlock has been hiding a chronic health condition caused by John's attack on him in the morgue. Together they navigate the fallout, becoming a family in the process.

Summary
“Sherlock, do you believe that you deserved the beating John gave you?”
He’s quiet. This question is an unsolvable riddle, every time he’s asked it.
~*~

Summary
When he gets back, two bowls of stew and a jug of wine balanced precariously in his hands courtesy of a grateful mother, Geralt is exactly where he left him. He’s fast asleep, chest slowly rising and falling beneath the blanket still draped over him.
Roach glances over and nickers at him softly. “You and me, girl, we’ve got a hell of a job on our hands,” Jaskier whispers to her. “Don’t you worry, though. I’ll stick around for a bit. Help you out.”
Roach flicks an ear at him, and then goes back to her hay. Jaskier heaves a sigh. “Sometimes I feel so unappreciated.”

Summary
Jaskier had his own comb, of course, in the pocket of his braies. “How do I look?”
Geralt huffed.
“This very nice village has hired you – and me, it seems – to do a job, and I refuse to be unprofessional about it. Really, Geralt. Show some emotion for once. It’s your wedding day.”
Four times Geralt and Jaskier were married, and one time they weren't.
(This story is a stand-alone, but technically exists as a prelude to the rest of the series, as the events are mentioned in later stories)

Summary
The bard is loud. Loud and intense. With a voice built to fill taverns over raucous drinking and the slamming of mugs and muddied feet, he fills the air of wilderness with nonsense. Question after question, phrases of songs and snippets of poetry, it's neverending Therein lies the problem.

Foresight Is 20/20 by thepetulantpen

Summary
The night before his performance in Posada, Jaskier dreams of Geralt. He sees the white hair and the duel swords, hears his grunts and swears, and feels the punch to the gut, sensation lingering for minutes while he lies awake in bed.
It only occurs to him afterward that he had the whole damn day to think of a way to introduce himself and he still didn’t come up with a better opening line than “bread in his pants”.
(In which Jaskier has prophetic dreams and Geralt is a little slow on the uptake.)

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.

The Many Lives of Julian, Bard by finifugue
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types
30 Oct 2022

Summary
"Geralt didn’t like assassins, spies, or Vipers. But Jaskier was all three, and clearly, Geralt was still coming to terms with that."
After the inevitable reveal of Jaskier's Viper-ness, many of Kaer Morhen inhabitants had questions abut Jaskier's unbringing. This was problematic because:
a) He would rather avoid the topic for as long as humanly possible.
b) it was winter, which meant that dramtically throwing himself out of windows to avoid difficult conversations wouldn't be a good idea.
c) Jaskier still wasn't sure exactly how stable his and Geralt's newly-established relationship was, and he wasn't willing to destroy everything they had because of all the (very) horrible things he'd done in his (extremely) long life.But after a run-in with someone from Jaskier's past, and the panic-ridden manhunt that follows, Jaskier's families find themselves closer than ever - for better, or for worse.

Death to the Details by StarsInMyDamnEyes

Summary
Jaskier had quickly abandoned the Path once he was out in the world. He’d chosen a name, and pursued what he truly wanted in life - and it was music, not fighting monsters, because of course it was - and he’d only deigned to act as a witcher until he gathered the not insignificant amount of coin needed to buy himself not only a glamour but the discretion of its creator, which had cost almost as much as the damn thing itself.
If anyone who’d ever known him could see him now, he doubted they’d be too surprised.
Jaskier is a witcher by nature, a bard by choice, and a general nuisance by sheer force of personality.

Summary
“Why do you only like some of your clothes?” Jaskier asks thoughtfully, three hours into the day.
Geralt looks to him from the corner of his eye.
“You’ll wear them all eventually,” Jaskier says in a tone that makes it clear he’s hard at work theorizing, “but you’ll wear some of them multiple times before you’ll wear the rest. They’re all black, so I know it can’t be about style.” The quick side glance he gets after that tells Geralt that Jaskier has his doubts about the existence of such a thing to begin with.
(Geralt has sensory issues with his clothes) (Of course he would never think to fix this) (Luckily Jaskier has some thoughts and feelings about it)

The Sandpiper network guided countless men, women, and children to safer lands. To many, it was a beacon of hope in dark times. To others, it was an uprising meant to be snuffed out.

Not even the Sandpiper himself.
