    Summary

    5 times Geralt tried to figure out who Jaskier’s love poetry was about, and one time he did

    *

    He read some other bits from the book on his way to Kaer Morhen. Maybe because the Path was too silent without Jaskier’s constant chatter or because he secretly hoped to find some proof of the bard’s bullshit.
    The fresh ink on the endpaper said in wavy cursive:
    “Dear Eskel,
    Knowing that my words have touched the heart of a discerning reader such as yourself fills me with joy. And your brother knows nothing! I did mean every word of this book.
    Have a warm winter,
    Dandelion”
    Geralt smiled and flipped the page to the dedication he’d never noticed before.
    "To my Beloved, who will never read these words."

    Summary

    The alchemist held a bottle of thunderbolt up to the window. The green liquid shimmered in the light.

    “Your potions allow Witchers to achieve incredible feats. What would happen if a human took them?”

    “Nothing good,” Geralt said bluntly.

    “Hmm. I would be remiss as a scientist if I did not test the theory myself.”

    Geralt snarled as the alchemist approached Jaskier, holding the bottle of thunderbolt, intentions clear.

    Summary

    “Oh shit,” Jaskier muttered. He crawled as far back into his little shelter as he could fit. He hadn’t planned for this to happen. He hadn’t thought this through at all. He didn’t know what to do next.

    In the blink of an eye, the monster had rounded his shield of roots and was staring directly at him.

    Now he’d never know what that look in Geralt’s eyes meant, that quick glance he had chosen to direct at Jaskier when it appeared he’d had less than a second left to live himself.

    Jaskier’s hands were clenched at his sides. He wanted nothing more than to wrap his arms around his head and make himself as small as possible. But if he was going to die anyway, he wasn’t going to spend his last moments curled up in a frightened little ball.

     
    Or, Geralt is doing a fine job of pretending being followed around by a pining bard does nothing but annoy him, until Jaskier gets hurt.

    Summary

    Geralt remembered a fight, years before, when his leg had been broken. The bone had broken in two places; his knee had shattered. The pain had lasted for days. That had been nine – ten years ago. The bard had been a child then. A tiny child, unable to walk, unable to think from pain. Because of him. It was hard to breathe. When he thought about it too much, it got hard to breathe.

    Jaskier has always known he has a soulmate; a soulmate who is in pain a frankly concerning amount of the time. Geralt isn't sure if he believes that old superstition that witchers have no soulmates, but he knows he isn't bonded to anyone. He is alone, and he likes it that way.

    Or, soulmates feel each other's pain and Jaskier is not having a good time.
