I was paired up with the one of the sweetest, enthusiastic and hard-wroking artists I’ve met in this fandom, @linx1457​ for the @geraskierreversebang​! Once I saw this piece I knew I had to do everything I could to claim this artwork since it’s been a long dream of mine to finally write a mafia au. I couldn’t wish for a better pairing up and motivator, thank you for letting my brain do its thing :D I appreciate the hell out of you, Linx!

Jaskier has always taken an exceptional interest in the White Wolf, an infamous mafia boss who never emerges from the dark corners of the city. After doing his bachelor thesis on the organization, Jaskier decides to become his own employer. With his parents' wealth, he plans to get to the bottom of the city's secrets while going undercover, but when a handsome bartender crosses his path, he finds it incredibly hard to stay focused on his objective.

Be on the lookout for more art and chapters :D

you can read the fic 🌫️here!🌫️

summary: The world has ended. Geralt couldn’t reliably say when it happened, if it was years or perhaps only months ago. Time doesn’t have meaning anymore. Neither does space. Neither does anything else. He doesn’t feel hunger, or exhaustion. Pain, though, is very much still here. It’s everywhere. Pain, and Fear, and Despair.  Not Death, no. Death is too merciful. Geralt has to find Ciri. He couldn't save the world, but he won't leave her alone in the worst version of Hell. When all hope seems lost, help comes from the most unexpected source...

Long is one fight, long is the next; few can bear three. A mournful monster’s call rings in the night to urge the Witcher on.

Departed Gods did bless his step and curse his quiet life

art by @brothebro, reblog the original art here

The skald Jaskier stumbles across a corpse in the field, that of a Witcher, if his eyes don't mistake him. He's really quite beautiful; shame a monster got him in the end. Jaskier puts the corpse in a more dignified position and sets about writing the man a poem. It's the least he can do, really.

I worked with the talented @a-broken-but-valuable-human and her wonderful fic "The Gift of Music"

Read it here and give some love to this wonderful writer!

Summary:

There are Faeries in the Wood.

That's what everyone said, at least, not that there was any solid proof. Jaskier had tried, more than once, to find some. Just a hint somewhere, of a real story, of real magic. But all anyone seemed to have was stories.

Jaskier was determined to find proof. He wasn't expecting to find a witcher in the process.

Title: I Carry Your Heart (I Carry It In)

Author: @teamfreehoodies

Artist: @beeruler

Pairing: Geralt/Jaskier

Rated: Teen and Up Audiences

Length: 23.7k

Tags: Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Not Actually Unrequited Love, Pining, Slow Burn, Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia Has Feelings, Emotionally Constipated Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia, Alternate Universe - Canon, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Miscommunication, Angst with a Happy Ending

Warnings: N/A

Summary:

Witchers don’t have soulmates. That’s been true for as long as Geralt’s been alive, a necessary sacrifice for a life spent on the Path. There’s no place for the attachments that humans define themselves by.

It may not be worth it to Geralt, but love has always been the single most motivating force in the world for Jaskier. Unrequited or not, he’s a bard, and there’s a story to be told. He’ll be the one to tell it.

(Who’s the more tragic figure here? The loved or the unloving?)

Jaskier and Geralt are soulmates, bound by the Red String of Fate. But just because it's written in the stars doesn't mean it's an easy path to tread, and it takes more than a nudge from fate to make a soul-bond work. Between the way Geralt feels about destiny, and the trials and tribulations of the path they have to trudge, it's going to be one hell of an adventure.
