    Summary

    Julian, a bored minor noble in Redania, feels trapped in his (albeit luxurious) life on his estate. What's a young man to do? He sneaks out at night, becoming the bard Jaskier who performs in taverns while his staff are none the wiser. One night, on his way back from such a sojourn, he stumbles across a severely-wounded stranger whom he nags into accepting help. Julian has no idea he's just saved the life of The Wolf, Redania's new warlord.

    Summary

    “It’s over. He can’t hurt you anymore. Be free,” Eskel instructed, and the young man nodded seriously, turning and running off.
    Good. He’d go off on his own, find a life for himself outside of… oh fuck.
    The man had run ten paces, stood, and run back.
    “...be more free than that,” Eskel found himself begging.

    Aka: Eskel rescues a young man from a mage, only the man doesn’t seem to understand that he’s free.

    Summary

    “You… know?” Jaskier rasped, his heart sinking as Vesemir nodded.
    “The evidence of their torture was written in your skin, and I could smell them on you. I know what they did to you.”
    He could have wept, though with fear or relief he wasn’t sure.
    Vesemir didn’t know about the mountain. Good.

    Or: After the mountain, Jaskier got abducted by a group of people wanting to get to Geralt.
    Aiden and Lambert come to save him.

    Summary

    “Which one? I’ve already met my soulmates, which one are you claiming to have?”
    “Not one you’ve met,” the other one said. “Some kid bard. Got the same mark though: three wolves and a cat in a field of flowers.”
    He wasn’t lying.

    Or: Jaskier's soulmark causes him quite a bit of trouble before he even meets his soulmates. And poor Eskel is just trying to get through the year, without having to worry about a soulmate he didn't know he had, and the bandits that captured him.
