  1. Summary

    Okay. I was going to write a tumblr post about this that goes as follows:

    I know what we have in Netflix canon is Geralt going ‘we’re not friends’ at Jaskier several times

    But since we see like 0.1% of their friendship, and we only seem to drop in on their relationship in the midst of Geralt having a succession of Terrible Days, it’s INFINITELY FUNNIER to me if Geralt, in fact, tells Jaskier they’re friends just. Like. Just constantly. Except for when he’s in a bad mood. So it’s pretty hard for Jaskier to take it to heart when Geralt’s like We’re not friends. We’ve never been friends. I don’t even know why you’re here, or wearing a pendant that’s shaped like half of a heart and which reads “BE FRI” that I definitely didn’t give you. >:(

    Then I wanted to write a fic about it.

    And once I had finished the first one, I wasn’t quite done with the idea, so wrote a companion fic from Geralt’s perspective.

    Summary

    “Hey, so this is where you ended up,” Jaskier said, sliding into the chair across from Geralt in the sad truck-stop diner 50 kilometres outside of the backwater swamp-dump reporting an infestation of drowners. Jaskier had found the posting on the Witcher forum he shouldn’t know about, but did, in part because he ‘managed’ Geralt’s media presence (unpaid, and un-asked-for) and in part because he was a nosy bitch.

    Tracking Geralt down at any point in time was an art form of anticipating what his current driving force might be: money, empathy, or rage.

    Also, sometimes, a nap.

     

    AKA a modern-au where Jaskier is famous on the internet, Geralt is still a Witcher, they hunt monsters and are bad at emotions (sometimes at the same time)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    In case this updates, I've read the first two chapters.
    Also it's excellent.

    Summary

    It’s just fucking. No kisses, no sweet nothings, no weakness. Just the scratching of an itch. Geralt can’t afford to think it could be anything else.

    It’s just fucking. No emotions, no softness, definitely no chance of Jaskier being on top - Geralt nearly bit his hand off at the thought. But it hurts, to know how Geralt thinks of those who bend over for other men, and it hurts almost as much to know that he won’t ever get to treat Geralt how the noble witcher deserves to be treated.

    It’s just fucking. Except it’s not.

    Summary

    Jaskier called him my friend, which Geralt thought he had probably said before, but it didn't sound like a hollow turn of phrase today. It sounded like Jaskier might actually mean that literally.

    That couldn't be right, but Geralt wasn't about to ask Jaskier whether he meant any of that.

    Thing is, you don't even grow zucchini.
