    Summary

    A contract leaves Lambert with several extra feline appendages. It's far from the worse curse he's suffered, and he'd hardly be complaining if it weren't for their incredibly inconvenient habit of broadcasting his every emotion to anyone paying attention, rendering his usual defensive snark fairly useless. Unfortunately for all of them, his brothers never knew when to leave well enough alone, and it seems more than a few secrets and old wounds will be brought to light before this nightmare is over.

    Summary

    “What if it had been Oliwia, buttercup?” Lambert asks.

    Jaskier goes still. Little Oliwia, barely sixteen and still as naive as any noble child gets - if she had been sent as a sacrifice, that would have been - “Monstrous,” he says, through a dry throat. “That would be monstrous, and a grave insult to the Wolf, that anyone would think he would do harm to such an innocent - that he would be that sort of monster.”

    —inexplicifics, Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well, Ch. 2


    …What if it had been Oliwia?

    Summary

    “Jaskier.”
    “You just came towards the light to growl and hiss at whoever was stupid enough to be camping in a monster’s hunting ground.”
    “Jaskier.”
    “No need to yell at me. It took twenty years, but I’ve got the message,” Jaskier snapped, facing Geralt once again. “No more jumping into the way or annoying ballads. You can get your peace and I’ll just…”
    “Jaskier! I can’t fucking see!” Geralt yelled. His face was twisted in frustration.

    Summary

    When Jaskier is young, he is sold to a slaver to solve his parents' problems with money.
    He ends up at the royal court of Tretogor, a gold-collared bedslave, reserved for the royal line. Unlike the others, Jaskier doesn't settle into his fate, but rebels in what little ways he can.
    It's no wonder then, that when the warlord of the north visits Tretogor for negotiations, Jaskier finds himself in the middle of it all.

    His mother's face is sad, and Julian wishes more than anything he could change that. She tucks a lock of his soft brown hair behind his ear.
    “Remember how you said you wanted to help?”
    Julian nods.
    “There’s someone who… is coming to take a look at you. If you do well, we’ll get enough to pay the rent that’s still due. If we’re very lucky, we’ll get enough to buy back the farm.”
    “What do I have to do?” Julian asks.
    A tear tracks down his mother’s cheek.

    Summary

    Jaskier is an omega and part of an arranged marriage to unite the Pankratz and Von Rivia crime families. He is tied to an alpha, Geralt aka White Wolf and both see the marriage as duty, but how much of it is purely duty? Meanwhile, a rival gang upsets the balance the Von Rivia’s have created in their city and it turns out two recently married criminals are just the two needed to restore order.

    Side Note: Eskel/Jaskier is brief and does not last.

    Sider Note: this universe is inspired by the Edo and Meiji Periods in Japanese history, mixed with the Witcher-verse, and the Omega Verse. So if you’re a bit confused, that’s understandable.
