    Summary

    To a witcher, touch is almost never a good thing.

    Touch means something or someone has gotten too close. Close enough to rend open the places where armour doesn’t protect the vulnerabilities underneath. Close enough to see the pulse where it beats just under the surface, to identify where to strike.

    To Geralt, touch is everything beyond that, too. He craves the moments where touch doesn’t mean pain, damage, or potential death, but where it means safety and care. In a witcher’s life, those moments are far and few between.
    Geralt bears it and watches the seasons change until he can take out that part of himself for winter, and let it breathe.

    He’s used to it, and he’s already endured it for decades when he meets Jaskier

    Summary

    Jaskier has zero intention of sharing the degrading experience of getting tortured. Ever. He’ll bury the memories and someday they’ll be as scabbed over as Caingorn was.

    Which had been completely, absolutely, fine. And the only reason that wound is bleeding a little now is because fucking Geralt came out of nowhere—after the most humiliating experience of his entire life—and reopened the fucking thing. But that’s fine because he’ll leave and return to the terror of his smuggling work and forget about Geralt all over again. There’s nothing hard drink and the constant danger of execution won’t get his mind off. Because there’s something therapeutic about fearing for one’s life that makes anything not of immediate concern go away.

    So yes, things were just fine before Geralt showed up.

    Two years post-Caingorn, Geralt rescues Jaskier from prison and sends him with Ciri to Kaer Morhen. However, Geralt suspects Jaskier is hiding serious trauma.

    Summary

    Jaskier gets a letter one day along with an armed guard that drags him back home, informing him he's in an arranged marriage with his cousin Ferrant de Lettenhove to "strengthen to Pankratz name" and also "get him in line", and Geralt has to save him. Of course, the first thing that comes to Geralt's mind is claiming Jaskier cannot be married because he's already married-- to Geralt. Jaskier and Geralt will have to maintain the ruse as they travel with Jaskier's father to get as proof a copy of their marriage certificate... which doesn't exist.

    Summary

    Inspired by Spencer B’s ballet AU

    Jaskier was a child prodigy who burned out before he was sixteen. Now he's going from job to job with no aim in life until he meets Geralt Rivia - the famously strong ballet dancer who has also fallen from grace after an accident that he still blames himself for.

    Geralt sees a potential dance partner in Jaskier and maybe even a chance for redemption. Jaskier, meanwhile, just wants to get laid.
