Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 12,965
Summary: A few weeks after the incident with the deathless mother, Jaskier leaves Kaer Morhen

Recommendation: Comment Hiatus ~ A partial hiatus in that I'll post a rec but I won't do the write up because I'm really behind and real life is getting in my way.

Title: Place Your Hand in Mine (How Long Can This Last)
Author: Curlscat
Canon: The Witcher
Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 15,089
Summary: Jaskier accidentally gets Geralt cursed to want to touch him at all times. Since they still haven't really talked since Geralt broke Jaskier out of jail, this means Jaskier is doing a lot of pining. Geralt's probably having a rough time, too. Not that he'll say it out loud.

Recommendation: After season two, I really needed Geralt and Jaskier to have more of a conversation. Unfortunately, Geralt is really, really bad at them and he's as like to let a curse do the work for him.

Title: When the White Wolf Hungers
Author: round_robin
Canon: The Witcher
Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 6,205
Summary: The Witcher peered over his shoulder at his traveling companion. “We have enough coin for two beds and a meal, or one bed, a bath and you sing for your supper.” Jaskier's eyes passed over Geralt and his nose wrinkled before he knew to stop himself. Geralt slayed a beast three days ago and after walking behind him—entrails and blood caked into his clothes—for two days, even he could hardly tolerate the smell any longer. He resigned himself to a night on the floor and nodded. “We'll make do.”

Recommendation: There was only ONE BED! And lets be real, ain't no one sleeping on the floor. ;D

Title: Do to Me
Author: Eremji

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 3,055
Summary: A dead end hunt leaves Geralt overwhelmed and riding on the wrong side of the potions that help him do his duties. When he makes it back to camp, Jaskier finally proves too much to resist. Fortunately, Jaskier proves eager to assist.

Recommendation: So I had a few Geraskier burning a hole in my pocket and I thought 'no time like the present'. And if in the present we can have potioned-up witcher shenanigans, so much the better.

Title: Footprints Are More Easily Seen in the Snow

Author: madsthenerdygirl

Canon: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 12,278

Summary: Jaskier was already surprised when he ran into Geralt again. Even more so when the Witcher insisted Jaskier spend the winter with him. And now Geralt's... being nice? Meanwhile Geralt would just like everyone around him to stop telling him to ""talk"" about his ""feelings.""

Recommendation: I love the thought of Geralt gathering up all of his precious people and squirreling them away for the winter at Witcher HQ. That all would be greatness if Geralt to manage to communicate in any meaningful way, at least before the other witchers absconded with his bard. I love Ciri's relationship with Jaskier too, that is just so great.

Title: Yet Always Back Returning to Those First Feelings

Author: whisperedstory

Canon: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 4,626

Summary: The first time they see each other again after the fight is a coincidence. Or so Jaskier thinks.

Recommendation: Jaskier deserves to have Geralt come after him, even if he can't quite manage to, you know, communicate about his feelings.

Title: You Met Me at the Perfect Time

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 5,960

Summary: “You could’ve died,” Geralt says in a strange tone, and Jaskier takes one look at him and realizes—oh, he’s going to have to do something about that, isn’t he.

Recommendation: AAh, this is so good. Jaskier is ridiculous on a divine level, but he's rocking it. I love that this also serves as an explanation of Jaskier's favorite swears, lol.

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 11,068

Summary: Jaskier marks his territory (Geralt) in subtle ways and Geralt, being an uncultured dumbass, doesn't realize it until Yennefer points it out to him.

Recommendation: Man, Geralt is rocking some super strength obliviousness because everyone is giving them the "oh so you're married" look and he knows but he's trying not to know, you know.

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 4,389

Summary: "It seems obvious in retrospect, but Geralt didn’t realize Jaskier’s true nature until the two of them encountered a succubus."

Recommendation: This is an interesting take on "Jaskier isn't fully human". I like it, and I like all the little differences between him and regular incubi. I also really like Geralt method of dealing with him. *fans self*

Summary: The only good thing about Oxenfurt is the brothels. ~ Geralt thinks Jaskier is a whore, but really he's just an opportunist.

Recommendation: OMG, this was SO HOT. I mean gahh. I love Geralt being just blown away that Jaskier is just that into him.

Rating: Explilcit [NC-17]

Word Count: 8,676

Summary: Jaskier and Geralt part ways after their fight, bent on never seeing each other again. Until Yennifer steps in and helps Geralt to remove his head from his ass.

Recommendation: Yep, still feeling a little wobbly about Geralt saying that stuff to Jaskier thankfully Yen sends him to finally apologize. Jaskier, of course, would be whining/singing about him to everyone.

Title: Unintended Consequences

Author: manic_intent

Podficcer: greedy_dancer

Canon: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 5,516

Summary: “You’ve got to wonder about the mentality of a group of people who’d come together, build a trading post on the Pontar within a forest full of monsters, pirates, and murderous elves, then triumphantly name the place ‘Flotsam’ with no sense of irony whatsoever,” Jaskier said.

Recommendation: I love Jaskier and Ciri's interactions, they are so cute. Jaskier definitely seems like the kind of adult that doesn't lie to children. As always, manic_intent kills it. The podfic is also great.

Title: I Hate That I Don’t Hate You

Author: honeycombing

Canon: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 4,890

Summary: And as they enter what should have been an empty library, Geralt’s senses are immediately assaulted with the sound of a voice he recognizes all too well; one he didn’t think he’d ever hear again; one that brings a strange tightness to his chest. “Jaskier,” Ciri breathes, taking Geralt completely by surprise as she runs towards the bard. Or: With Ciri finally in Geralt’s care, they seek temporary refuge at Oxenfurt Academy while on the run from Nilfgaard’s soldiers - and promptly run into Jaskier. And Geralt is surprised to find out that his Child Surprise knows Jaskier very well.

Recommendation: Ack, I love the thought of Ciri and Jaskier knowing and loving each other. So cute. And apologies, we are here for them.

Title: So Can We Pretend, Sweetly

Author: theredtailedhawkwithjewelsforeyes

Podficcer: Annapods

Canon: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 2,131

Summary: Jaskier is a regular human bard, and Geralt could swear that yesterday he’d had regular human teeth. They’re just a little bit too long for his mouth, now- too white, too sharp. A predator’s. Jaskier clicks them together, experimentally, and winces when he bites his tongue. “Fuck anyone you weren’t supposed to?” “I don’t fuck anyone I’m supposed to,” Jaskier says, a little proudly.

Recommendation: I do so love stories that mix in some good old fashioned fairy tale elements. And if it means Jaskier gets to stick around, I'm not complaining. ;)

Title: Scales and Song

Author: TeenyTinyTony

Canon: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 4,640

Summary: Geralt had known from the moment Jaskier introduced himself that the bard wasn't human, but he had seemed harmless enough and Geralt wasn't one to chase something that wasn't hurting anyone. It was easier not to mention it.

Recommendation: Well, this was perfect. Of course, if Jaskier was going to be a supernatural being he would have to be one know for singing. I love that Geralt knew the whole time that Jaskier wasn't human but was all *meh!* cause he wasn't hurting anyone.

Word Count: 6,771

Summary: By the twentieth time Geralt has gone through the loop, he decides to just throw himself off the cliff’s edge after Borch. He wakes up to his twenty-first attempt. “Fuck.”

Recommendation: Oh man, if you've been following me for a while you know that I can't get enough Groundhog Day/time loop AUs. Geralt just needs some extra time, ya know. And even though he has the wit to bring Jaskier in on his predicament, he still manages to fail to communicate, bless him.

Title: Food of Love

Author: tanktrilby

Podficcer: Annapods

Canon: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 22,488

Summary: I brought a dead princess back to life through the power of song is the kind of thing that would have got an eyebrow raise even from the stone-faced Geralt of Rivia, so it's a good thing he and Geralt will probably never see each other again. (Or; the one where Jaskier channels magic through his songs, and it almost never goes as expected.)

Recommendation: I loved the thought of Jaskier having power that is really just an extension of his abilities and the whole bards and sorcerers being the same thing differing chiefly in their methods of delivery. I equally love the thought of Jaskier and Renfri being such good bros. It warms my heart.

Title: Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Author: fallingintodivinity

Canon: The Witcher

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 5,817

Summary: “Ah!” says the innkeeper, as the rowdy crowd finishes singing a song about Geralt’s heroics and segues seamlessly into a saccharine love ballad about the fairytale romance between the daughter of a baron and a lowly bard. “This song, it’s by the very same bard who sang those songs about you, Master Witcher! So in love, he is, with his beautiful lady.” “Oh, it’s so romantic,” sighs the barmaid dreamily. “That handsome bard, marrying a noble lady!” Geralt squints up at them doubtfully. “This…bard,” he says. “Dark hair, blue eyes, never shuts up?” “Aye,” the innkeeper says. “That’s the one.”

Recommendation: This has all the hallmarks of a Jaskier plan, one that I don't really think he thought all the way through. Geralt seems to think so as he low-key loses his mind over the whole thing.

Title: His Touch

Author: Sevent

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 6,203

Summary: Jaskier is an affectionate man. It drives Geralt mad, but in more ways than he knows how to put into words.

Recommendation: Poor Geralt is more than a little touch-starved and needs all the affection (from Jaskier) that he can get, but I love, love the campaign of ingratiation that Jaskier embarks on towards Roach. So cute.

Title: Woodash and Iron and Leather

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 9,874

Summary: Jaskier is the only person Geralt's ever been around who doesn't smell of fear.

Recommendation: So I have a little confession, I've not actually gotten a chance to watch The Witcher show. Part of that has been that with all the things going on in the world and in my personal life my emotional speed is somewhere between She-Ra and Haikyuu!! the grimdark of The Witcher is a little . . . daunting. Buuutttt, the art has been SO pretty and the stories so good and prolific that I've not been able to help myself. ;D
