    Summary

    He watches as Geralt's fists curl on his lap and, defeated, he nods with a small smile. "If you want anything, you can..." 

    Call me, he would say. Ask me anything. Ask me to stay by your side forever, and I will. I will do it even if you don't ask. He would say. But he stays silent. For better or for worse, even now, Geralt already knows, and it's still not enough.

    Thus he turns around.

    "Jaskier."

    Summary

    Whatever kind of ache arises from being told by your best friend of twenty years and possible love of your life that they hate you and never want to see you again does fade, given time. Albeit slowly. He stops crying, eventually. Geralt’s words still spin around his head, but Jaskier cultivates a healthier way of thinking. He’s not… he’s not really such a burden. He’s not just an annoyance to the people he cares about. He’s valuable. He creates things that people love. Geralt is just… just… broody. He’s just broody, and sort of volatile, and Jaskier… Jaskier has never been enough to comfort him. Jaskier’s presence has never been what pleases Geralt. He’s never been enough.

    Well, he definitely starts something healthier. It doesn’t always spin out into what he intends it to be.

     

    -

    Jaskier is an artist, and that means compassion, means being compelled to help those who are different from you. The persecution of the elves makes him feel sick, and desolate, and he sets out to do what kindness he can, in a world that endeavors only to be cruel.
