Summary
Oh, how selfish he was about to be. Oh, how he couldn’t bring himself to care.
“I need you to—“ Jaskier tried to slow his breathing. “I need you to Axii me.”
Geralt frowned deeply. “What? No.”
-x-
Kidnapped and without much hope of escape, Jaskier's anxiety rises fast. Afraid of giving up information when in pain, he begs Geralt to Axii him. When they manage to live, there's... a lot to talk about. And perhaps predictably, a lot of avoiding the conversation.

Summary
“They make it hard on you, sometimes." Harder than it already is.”
“Maybe they don’t know—”
“They know, Yennefer,” Sabrina said patiently, “I just don’t think they care. It’s not right.”
-x-
While still at Aretuza, Yennefer and her sister mages are given the class assignment of harvesting some stems for potions, without using their chaos. But without any fair accommodations, Yennefer has far more difficulty completing it. Tired, hurt, and angry, she gets some encouragement and acknowledgment from Sabrina, which is the strength she needs to confront Tissaia. (For the FebuWhump2021 Day 2 prompt, “I can’t take this anymore". )

These Birds You Cannot Cage by ButterBard

Tags
Summary
“You’re not going to… sing something? Or whatever it is you do?” What had stopped the bird from singing? (Was that a worse fate than clipped wings, or the same?)
Jaskier opens his eyes to look at her, and it feels like he’s seeing something she doesn’t even see in herself. It’s uncomfortable. He closes his eyes again.
“I haven’t sung,” he says softly, “in nearly 6 months.”
x
Yennefer is captured after Sodden and thrown in a cell with, of all the people on the continent, Jaskier. Beaten, exhausted, and without her power, all they've really got is each other (and an absolutely reckless plan of escape.)

Summary
“Darling,” Jaskier choked out, “Words, please? This isn’t goodbye, alright? Stay with me.” He took Geralt’s hand. “Stay, alright?”
x
A bright-eyed, 20-year-old Jaskier is finally invited (read: allowed) to accompany Geralt on a simple contract for a handful of drowners. Things don't exactly go to plan (when do they ever) and the witcher is left impaled on a broken tree, with only a very inexperienced bard to help.

these streets are yours by ButterBard

Summary
She’d expected Jaskier’s death to be difficult on Geralt. Of course it would, the two had been attached at the hip for decades, they were best friends, lovers, tied together so deeply she wouldn’t begin to try and decipher it, just as he had stopped trying to decipher her and Geralt. What she hadn’t been expecting was the loss to be such a blow to herself.
But that was death, wasn’t it? Knocking your breath away as someone else loses theirs. If he couldn’t breathe it, what use was air at all?
It was a stupid thought. But it lingered in her nonetheless.
-x-
Jaskier, painfully human as he was, had passed of old age nearly a year ago. They'd grieved. Yennefer had thought they would have moved on by now-- but Geralt has been staring at something in their study, and Corvo Bianco has felt so heavy, and Yennefer is going to drag this out of him, if she has to. And she's not going to cry about the bard in the meantime. She's not.

Summary
The sun was falling, making a graceful bow into the horizon. Warm light spread out over the streets of Oxenfurt like the last pushes of tide, ebbing, and flowing, and sinking back into night.
“Ah, fuck,” Jaskier muttered, crossing out a spelling error with a snarl.
x
Jaskier has procrastinated for months on a paper he has to submit to a journal. With 60 hours left, he has no choice but to pull an all-nighter. Or... the full 60 hours. At the end of it, he waits for the sweet embrace of sleep, but finds it doesn't come so easily, anymore.
