Geralt and Jaskier stopped for a night in a clearing. The forest around them was dense. Jaskier started to pick and make a heart for fire, singing softly, while Geralt went hunting. When Geralt returned, he had a couple of rabbits already prepared for roasting with skins he wanted to use to make blankets or something (Jaskier didnât care much) and bard had heart almost ready, he left lighting it to the witcher. Less then 15 minutes later meat was roasting over fire. Suddenly a man stumbled into the clearing, he had two swords like Geralt and was even dressed in similarly to Geralt. The white haired man got up, looked over the stranger and hugged him, leaving Jaskier completely stunned!
âLambert, you son of a bitch!â Geralt said loudly with a happy smile on his face, making his bard look at him disbelief.âI heard you were nearby, just didnât know how close you truly were!â
âWhite-haired fucker!â man with same yellow eyes as Geralt, now identified as Lambert, greeted Geralt with an insult and a smile of his own. Musician gave up on trying to understand what was going on and turned back to dinner, ensuring it didnât burn. He felt eyes on his back.âWhere are your manners, old wolf?â Younger witcher teased White Wolf,âwonât you introduce me to your friend?â
âRight, lets go to the fireâ Jaskier could hear footsteps coming closer, stopping beside him and a thump on either side of him. On his left was Geralt and on his right Lambert.âJaskier, meet Lambert. He is a fellow wolf witcherâ Geralt  noticed the way Lambertâs sparkled.âLambert, this is my....friend...Jaskierâ Lambert noticed how Geralt paused on âfriendâ for a moment and wanted to pick on him for it, but changed his mind, deciding instead to insult Jaskier and see the reaction.
âJaskier? As in the one who was dumb enough to try to befriend you?â Geralt sighed deeply. He wasnât in the mood to argue with Lambert.
âI believe insulting the man who could easily ruin your reputation to be dumbâ, Jaskier said, smiling pleasantly,âbut then again what would I know? Iâm just a bardâ Lambert liked this human, he didnât smell of fear and was ready to throw his insults back. He changed the tactic and starting to flirt. He smiled at the bard, and Jaskier knew he passed some kind of test.
âSo is what Geralt says true? That you two areâ Lambert glanced at fellow wolf, and smiled charmingly at musician,âjust friends?âHe said last two words in a disbelieving voice.âI hope Geralt wouldnât mind sharing...â cue a wicked smile full of promise, his pupil rounding and dilating.
âIâm not a toy to be shared or ownedâ, Jaskier answered with a flirty smile of his own and adding a wink. Oh yes, Lambert definitely liked this one.
Lambert and Jaskier kept flirting and insulting each other over dinner, becoming more aroused and the scent was making Geraltâs nose twitch. Eventually he told them to go and fuck it out but not too far away, the scent was starting to make him uncomfortable. Jaskier was looking at him with concerned, Lambert was quick to reassure Jaskier that Geralt didnât mind it at all and that âknowing him heâll want to cuddle when we come backâ. They left Geralt to take care of left-overs and sleeping bags.
Geralt hummed to himself, a habit he picked up from Jaskier, as he moved around camp. He didnât care the two of them went to âhave some actual funâ as Lambertâd put it, he was happy that they liked each other and were attracted to each other, it meant two he cares about coulv. White wolf preferred cuddling over any other form of affection, while Lambert and Jaskier were similar. They needed sex, Jaskier enjoyed it while Lambert loved having sex, especially with people he knew he could trust. The sleeping bags were, indeed, all placed close to each other.

Several weeks later, Jaskier was traveling alone. He was on a road to a bigger settlement when he was attacked by bandits. They thought heâd be an easy target and have coin for them to take, if nothing else theyâd happily take his lute. They didnât expect a witcher to jump into bards defense. The witcher quickly chased them away. Jaskier noticed the man was older, seemingly in late forties or early fifties, and that his medallion was a wolf. Bard figured this must be a wolf witcher and from Geraltâs school.
âHello, kind witcher!â Jaskier started dramatically, forgetting to introduce himself, unsurprising considering his barely contained excitement.âI was wondering if you perhaps know Geralt and Lambert of Wolf school?â
The witcher was amused by young man in front of him âOf course I know those two little rascals for Iâm the one whoâs trained them in sword fighting!â the man was trying to be as dramatic as bard he just met.âIâm Vesemir, and you must be one of my pups flower? The bard named after a flower, I mean?â
The new nickname brought a bright smile on Jaskierâs face. He confirmed that âyes I am in fact Jaskierâ asked older man if heâd mind some music? And a song in his honor was most certainly in order, he was after all his wolves teacher. The old wolf gave his new flowery pup an indulgent smile. Jaskier traveled with papa wolf who adopted him (Vesemir kept calling him pup or flower and eventually Jask asked about it....Vesemir admitted to viewing bard the same way he views his witcher pups). When they got to town where they were supposed to split up, flower made several songs in wolfs honour (Ves adored the songs his pup created for him) and bard received a dagger âfor protectionâ. Jaskier knew enough about handling a dagger to be able to protect himself somewhat.

In early autumn Jaskier met up with Geralt again. Geralt invited Jaskier to join him and others in Kaer Morhen. Jaskier was overjoyed, heâd get to see Lammy again! And heâd hopefully meet some other withcers. Geralt and Jaskier made their way to Kaer Morhen much earlier then Geralt usually did and arrived after Vesemir (who was delighted his pups were almost all home) and another witcher, this one was also a wolf and he had scars deforming left side of his face, pulling his upper lip and revealing his teeth. Jaskier didnât stare, nor was he bothered by scars. He found the witcher, who was taller then Geralt and with boarder shoulders and chest, to be endearing with his shy attitude. Bard was sad when he noticed how he kept trying to hide his scars, Jaskier unable to contain, his excitement and love for this new witcher, pulled the scarred wolf into a hug. Eskel was confused why this pretty songbird wasnât afraid and "oh this is nice". From day 1 Jaskier called him âEskieâ and always had a smile for big and seemingly scary man.
A week and a half later, Lambert finally arrived, with two new witchers. These two werenât wolves, one was from Griffin School and the other was a Cat. Jaskier noticed how cat witcher looked over everyone with interest on his face, while griffin looked at Jaskier with open curiosity. When they were introduced, griffinâs, who was known as CoĂ«n, seemed excited to speak with him about Oxenfurth and music lessons and a shy âcould you show me how to play lute?â. Honorary pup was so happy to see a witcher who wished to learn about his music and could discuss it. CoĂ«n reminded him of his lovely White Wolf, but nightingale (as Geralt called him) couldnât figure out what. Cat, or Aiden as he was introduced, was a lot more like Lammy then Geralt or papa wolf. He was a lot more flirty then insulting (or, as Geralt and Eskel called it, flirting aggressively), and flower was happy to have all attention on him.
After a few days it took to newcomers to settle in, they started training. Aiden invited bard to join, saying he wished to see how he handled his dagger. He was unimpressed, disappointed really. He turned towards Geralt and asked dead serious "Really, Wolf, you travel with such precious human and you don't teach them how to fight???"  CoĂ«n joined training the bird how to fight, he adored the bard didnât wish for him to get injured.
Every couple of days Jaskier and Lambert would disappear and come back smelling like each other. Sometimes Aiden would join them, and Geralt knew Eskel wanted to as well, but...well, he was too insecure and didnât know Jaskier well (which made things hard for Eskel even more....he preferred to have an emotional connection with his lovers). So the rest of witchers ensured that Eskie and bird spend some time togther, without anyone. Geralt and CoĂ«n were fixing a part of the keep, trying to make it functional, Vesemir, like he most often did when he didnât train with others, was in his lab, making a potion or something, while Lambert dragged Aiden somewhere, presumably to fuck.
Eskel was in the kitchen making bread and singing to himself, when Jaskier entered. âOh thank Melitele! I thought everyone has gone off doing something dangerous!â the wolf was confused, they had enough meat for the next three days, after all Lambert had a successful hut yesterday, there was no monster bothering them, and Geralt and CoĂ«n were working on the keep...Maybe others were sparring? âYou can singâ bard said softly, completely in awe of witcherâs deep rough singing voice. âCan we sing together? And can I help you somehow?â
âI thought everyone can sing? If you could pass me some flour thatâd be greatâ Eskel was even more confused, none of the others ever offered to help him bake, but he wasnât one to look gift horse in mouth. âAnd sure, we can sing together tonight, after dinner....I know most popular songsâ And from there they kept talking, mostly Jaskier and Eskel was more then happy to let him talk.
That afternoon Geralt and CoĂ«n found the two still in kitchen, talking laughing, dancing and making dinner. Geralt felt warmth in his chest, his darling got along with all of witchers and it seemed like Eskel had opened a bit to Jask. Dinner was ready quickly, and all men tucked in. Everything was fine until Aiden took a bit of bread from a plate next to Jaskier. It was spicy....very spicy just like how flower liked it so....cat soon ran around, bumping into things and crying. Vesemir, being the first to realize what happened, brought some milk and forced younger witcher to drink it. Aiden after his pain subsided a bit, rejected to eat anything. Musician apologized over and over again, feeling guilty for convincing Eskie to make some spicy bread for him and then forgetting to warn others. Cat (or Kitty how Jaskier called him.....he was the only one allowed) mentioned forgiving if Jaskier played his lute and sang for them to which bard readily and happily agreed to. All seven of them moved closer to fireplace, Vesemir sitting in his armchair and petting his youngest pup, who was leaning against his leg and strumming his lute, the rest were laying on furs they brought from their rooms in front of fire. After a couple of hours bard became tired and CoĂ«n moved him to the furs so he could cuddle with others. Slowly one by one they fell asleep. Vesemir tucked them in (tho if asked heâd never admit he did or that he had a smile) before going to sleep himself.
