    Summary

    Jaskier, oblivious to Geralt’s struggle, is quiet as Borch leaves, but it’s not like it matters; his heartbeat alone would have been enough to tip Geralt off. It’s almost deafening this morning, a portent of doom.

    Geralt should send him away. He owes Jaskier this, he thinks; owes it to him to keep him safe – keep him alive – even if he hates Geralt for it. One last wish, carefully worded and utterly false, and he’d be on his way to safety. Geralt would shadow him to make sure no trouble would befall him on the way, unseen, and then leave him to a normal life, to father a child or two, to raise his legacy.

    The very thought makes him want to throw up.


    Geralt makes a different decision after Yennefer leaves him after the dragon hunt. It changes things, though they get worse before they get better.

    Summary

    “Do you want to hold her?”

    The princess doesn’t really wait for Jaskier’s answer; simply deposits the little babe into his arms, and Jaskier scrambles to hold her right, sneaking a hand to delicately cradle the head. She’s so small, he thinks to himself a little hysterically, and then, in quick succession, Geralt is going to love her.

     

    Or: the story of how Jaskier visits Cintra over the years, and carves lasting bonds with Pavetta, with Ciri - 
    and finds himself as bound to Geralt as if Destiny herself had twined their fates together.

    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.
