Summary
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." -Confucius
Booker's exile isn't quite what he expected. That may be a good thing.

Archiving this from Dreamwidth. This was a long time coming, with truly heroic beta work by PrincessofGeekland, for which blessings be upon her, 'cause she supplied the chainsaw and the gas and plenty of encouragement.

Meet Death Sitting by Anoke, bomberqueen17, hobbitdragon
Fandom Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types

Summary
OK this series has been going on for 2 years now and I should summarize it better.
The first part is several decades of, largely, Geralt and Jaskier's interactions, as they both fumble together toward some kind of meaningful understanding. That section largely concludes with a Jaskier/Geralt/Yennefer endgame.Then there's a time jump, and the series picks up after the events of the Witcher 3 games. I follow Lambert as he copes with grief, and Keira as she learns new things about herself, and the lives they make.
I decided to tell the story of how Ciri became Empress after W3, which intersects with Keira and Lambert's adventures; I read the books somewhere in this and got invested in some of the themes they brought up. And entangled with this, I got interested in the politics of the North, especially the Upper Aedirn Free State and the threads laid down in the Witcher 2 game that didn't exactly get resolved in Witcher 3, and so I have several stories dealing with that thread, which will intersect with the other stories in the same timeline.
See notes for chronological dates and what order the stories really ought to go in!

Oddities of a bard by SuspiciousRubberduck

Summary
Jaskier is often seen as a constant in Geralt's life.
It's a coincidence that constant can be used to describe immortality.Or Ciri keeps noticing odd things about Geralt's bard, but no one else seems to.

A funny thing happened on the way to Kaer Morhen (Jaskier's not laughing) by KnyleBorealis

Summary
Jaskier was honestly looking forward to Geralt claiming his Child Surprise. The circumstances--and Ciri herself--just aren't what he imagined. She's acting...strangely. The dwarves don't seem to mind, but they haven't woken up to her staring at them in the middle of the night. Most teens refuse to eat or sleep or speak at some point, right? She'll feel better when they reach Kaer Morhen. He just has to make it a few more days, travelling alone with her through perilous, unknown terrain to the secret Witcher stronghold.
...It'll be fine.
In which a bard contends with a demon in disguise, and the trees in the Blue Mountains do a lot of heavy lifting. Thanks, trees. No mystery here.
Titles are hard.

Summary
At the fourth stumble of the morning, Geralt’s patience breaks. Fine, the little fool is too stubborn to see he should leave and get it over with. Geralt will do the hard work for him, will simply move so fast that the bard has no choice but to end this farce already. He shifts his posture, squeezing Roach gently with his legs to urge her on faster-
-and nearly goes flying purely out of surprise when she gives him a warning buck, a single crow hop before she settles again.

Summary
Jaskier has been traveling alone since the mountain. Moving from town to town, never settling, always alone. Refusing to deal with his feelings, and what happened with... the witcher. He's been wallowing in his feelings, drinking, being sad. Until one night in a tavern. He turns around, and Geralt is there, looking at him. Jaskier wants nothing to do with him. But Geralt won't. Stop. Fucking. Following him.
