Summary
“Rumour has it, the White Wolf himself arrived this morning,” Essi says. “By portal, or there would have been a whole procession. Anyway, there were two witchers at the Academy, and they were asking about you.”
“Me?”
Essi holds out a sheet of paper without a word.
It’s a bulletin board notice. Wanted Alive, it says. The Sandpiper. By order of the White Wolf, Warlord of the North. Below is an engraving of a wolf head, snarling and almost audibly growling.

Summary
Fringilla decides the best way to make a tortured Bard spill where Geralt of Rivia would take his Child of Surprise is to dive into his head and create illusions. When two bastards stumble into his cell and break him out he understandably believes that they are a figment of his imagination. He keeps his cards as close to his chest as a talkative Bard possibly could as they drag him to what they assure him is a safe place. After all, why would Julian know all that Jaskier does about Kaer Morhan?
Meeting Lambert at Rosie's Tavern at the base of the Blue Mountains he lets half of the cards tumble in the presence of the Wolf Witcher. They grow closer as the four of them trudge up the mountain and meet with the other Wolves in the keep, where he is a trusted member until three weary travelers arrive one morning and cause his cards to go flying.

Summary
“Why is it forked?” ten-year-old Geralt asks Jaskier with a curious tilt of his head.
Jaskier shrugs. “I thought it looked nice. Why draw one road when you can draw two, right? And besides, that way you can choose which path to take!”
Geralt frowns. “But what if you don’t want to go in the same direction as me?"
“Don’t be silly, I’d follow you anywhere! You’re my best friend!”
“Well, I’d follow you, too.”
~
Jaskier has a secret. Well, he has two.
The first is that he's in love with Geralt Rivia, captain of the rugby team and his childhood best friend. Only, they're no longer best friends. His second secret is that he writes poems dedicated to Geralt and anonymously posts it at the school's Freedom Wall under the pseudonym of Dandelion. And the thing is, Dandelion has become so popular - more popular than Jaskier - that it's getting more difficult to keep his silence when it's clear that Geralt is starting to develop feelings for the mysterious lovesick poet.
How naïve was Jaskier to think that it would be so easy.
(Now with fan art.)

Summary
Whilst shouting 'jasper' to Geralt repeatedly, he feels it snap. The handy little spell that has been accompanying him for the last few hundreds of years dissolves as the demon launches another magical attack on the witchers.
Before his mind falls into panic mode, he takes a long cold breath and feels the stone floor beneath his palm freeze.
Ah, he'd forgotten he could do that.Or: Jaskier is an unalive alive bard and everyone finds this out during the fight with Voleth Meir

Summary
“Don’t look,” Essi says, “But there’s a man three booths behind us. He’s been following us for quite some time now.”
Jaskier can’t help himself and looks. Their shadow is partly covered by other market goers but the bard spots flaming red curls and arms big enough that he could be a blacksmith. He wears armor, so he’s probably a mercenary, selling his sword.In which Jaskier meets the witcher family, has some family problems of his own, and Geralt is idiotically unaware.

Summary
Some people fall in love easily. Lambert fell in love kicking and screaming. Aiden is an annoying motherfucker; he's loud and short tempered and emotional- and everything Lambert never knew he wanted.
With Aiden, Lambert was happy. But then Aiden was murdered, and Lambert was left broken, with no one to pick up the pieces.
Now years later, Eskel returns home one winter with a feral witcher that turns out to be Aiden. With no memories, a missing eye, and nothing but aggressive instincts, Aiden is even more broken than Lambert. But Lambert is not so easily deterred. Destiny has given him a second chance with the man he loves and he’ll do everything in his power to put him back together.

everyone's scared of Rivia by Sunfl0wer78

Tags
Summary
Mr. Rivia was terrifying. A good teacher, sure, but one stare could frighten his class into listening within seconds. His white hair and piercing eyes certainly didn't help, and the fact that no one knew anything about him. He was kind of a loner.
In other news, Jaskier was everyone's favorite singer. No doubt about it. Super outgoing and social, you couldn't help but love him.
These two things are completely unrelated.

Summary
Jaskier was part fae. A quarter to be precise.
There was an old superstition among humans that names held power, but for fae it was so much more than that. Names meant control. If you knew a fae’s name, their true name, they would be completely at your will. If someone knew your true name you were nothing more than their servant. A slave. All it took was a single command.
When war breaks out between neighboring kingdoms, Jaskier's father uses his true name and commands him to marry a witcher as part of a peace treaty. Neither Jaskier or Geralt are particularly happy with the arrangement. But as Jaskier gets to know him better he realizes that the witcher might just be able to give him the thing he's always craved. Freedom.

Summary
They say cats have nine lives, but truthfully Jaskier has long lost count of his.
Jaskier has always been very good at playing pretend. It gets harder after Geralt’s harsh words on the mountain. It gets harder still when he has to save a rogue Wolf and his Child Surprise from Nilfgaard’s gathering forces.

Summary
“Alright,” he grumbles. Geralt looks up, wide-eyed with a hopeful expression on his face, and Jaskier should not find it as endearing as he does. “I’ll forgive you. On one request.”
Geralt’s eyes narrow as he straightens up, crossing his arms again as he frowns. “And that is?” he asks apprehensively, and Jaskier grins obnoxiously at him.
Or, five times Jaskier hugs Geralt and the one time Geralt hugs Jaskier.

Summary
He’d retired a long time ago, almost three decades, in fact, having figured that he at least deserved to pursue his passions in life after working so tirelessly for so many years. So he’d dropped off the face of the continent completely, armed himself with a glamour around his wrist, and started learning the Seven Liberal Arts in Oxenfurt, enjoying the increasingly wild rumours around his own disappearance and death.
That was when he’d stopped paying attention to what people were saying about who he’d been as Julian, the witcher who destroyed monsters with his swords and people with his wit, and that had apparently been his mistake.

Summary
The witchers of Kaer Morhen have never been comfortable with gentle touches. It just isn't who they are. But when Geralt arrives to spend the winter with his brothers looking more relaxed than any of them have felt in years, all due to the affection of a human bard, Lambert and Eskel grow curious. They wonder what it would be like to be touched or held without fear.
When Lambert runs into Jaskier in a small town in Redania, it's the safest he's felt in years. He and his brothers need touch and kindness more than they're willing to admit, and all Jaskier wants it to help , if only the witchers would let him.
Geralt and Jaskier are together, all the other relationships are platonic with a good helping of touch-starvation on the side.

Summary
From the kinkmeme: AU Warlord!Geralt receives Tribute!Jaskier as a sacrifice to appease him in every way possible. Jaskier has no choice on the matter and he’s fully aware of the awful rumours that have spread about Geralt and his ruthless conquests. (But we all know those aren’t legit.) A classic angst with a happy ending please! A dash of smut to heal those scars and a sprinkle of new found love!
Jaskier arrives at Kaer Morhen knowing his family gave him up without a second thought, and absolutely sure that the dreaded Warlord of the North will value him even less than his own blood did. But the White Wolf and his pack are not what Jaskier expected...and if he's unreasonably lucky, Kaer Morhen might become far more of a home than Lettenhove ever was.
...He is, in fact, going to be unreasonably lucky, because the Warlord of the North is a far finer monarch - and a far better man - than Redania's king has ever dreamed of being.

Summary
When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)
OR
Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.
