Jaskier sits in one of the furthest corners of the tavern, and one of the more crowded ones too. He is preparing his lute for the evening’s performance, and he’s very excited about this it. The day will mark the first time his friend, (Y/n), will perform in front of an audience.

He knows what they’re capable of, and he knows that a crowd would love to see them on stage, but they can never bring themselves to perform in front of a crowd. So when they offered to join Jaskier on his next performance, Jaskier was shocked but that quickly turned to be overjoyed when they did confirm that, no, he was not hearing them wrong.

As excited as Jaskier is about the performance, (Y/n), isn’t matching his excitement level.

He glances up from his lute as wide grin forms, “Are you ready?”

by coffee_mage

Geralt knows, he can be a little jealous sometimes. That doesn't stop him from acting possessive when a certain lady has Jaskier's attention. A lady with brown eyes, a beautiful mane and a sweet-tooth for apples. It's Roach. Geralt is jealous of Roach.

I recorded two Geralt/Jaskier stories - both by @castillon02​, different moods but both excellent! They are both available to stream or download in mp3 or audiobook format on AO3:

Motivation, rated Teen, 0:31:46.

Jaskier thinks Geralt has a talking problem. Geralt thinks Jaskier has a listening problem. They figure it out. 

Keeping Crows, rated Teen, 1:15:21.

If it was some kind of weird religious thing, it was for a god Geralt had never heard of. Probably it was just a weird Jaskier thing. Crows, of all creatures! Corpse eaters. Grain stealers. No one liked crows. But Jaskier was voluntarily traveling with a Witcher; maybe he just had poor taste.

by Ellejabell

If anyone would make up a song about baths to irritate Geralt into stopping for one, it would be Jaskier.
