    Summary

    The funny part was that Lambert almost didn’t even go back to Kaer Morhen that winter. Maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference in the long run. Maybe the four of them—him and Eskel and Geralt and that damn little songbird—were Destiny with a capital D (heh), and would have ended up in the same place eventually no matter what.

    Or maybe Destiny was for chumps.

    Lambert made the choice to go home. He made the choice to bring Geralt’s bard with him. And everything that came after that was a choice, too, even the love.

    Maybe especially the love.

    Ok, so funny wasn’t the right word. Whatever. Lambert wasn’t a big words guy.

    It was just that when he rode into sight of the base of The Killer that year and his stomach curdled with something a little bit like homesickness and a lotta bit like dread, and instead of turning around he chose to go to the village that squatted at its base and stock up for the climb—

    Well, that turned out to be an incredibly meaningful fucking choice. That’s all he was saying.

    Summary

    Jaskier is trying his best to keep up with the work of Kaer Morhen but he's only a human. He should have known he could only push himself so far before it all comes toppling down.

    Summary

    Jaskier had climbed the trail up to the keep before with Geralt and it had definitely taken a lot less time. (The Witchers themselves called it ‘the killer’, and they had the nerve to call Jaskier dramatic). But Geralt was only pretending he wasn’t ill, and Jaskier himself was admittedly tired and sore and hungry again. The bread and dried fruit they’d bought for lunch with their last orrens barely made a dent in it.

    After a hard year, Jaskier and Geralt head up to Kaer Morhen for the winter to rest and recover. But they aren’t the only guests, and Jaskier rummages around in everybody’s closets until he finds the ghosts.

    Summary

    Geralt barely had time to throw up Quen.

    The Sign flared, a dull gold shimmer, before the creature struck. The impact threw him back, the shield cracking like ice. Steel rang on talon. Feathers and fur filled his vision. The beast shrieked, a sound that clawed the air apart.

    Jaskier’s shout was lost in the roar.

    Geralt rolled, came up on one knee, slashed low. The blade met hide and bit shallowly — not enough. The griffin reared, blood spattering the snow, wings beating with hurricane force. Geralt’s hood was torn away.

    Another strike — a flash of claws — and pain like fire seared across his ribs. He stumbled back, breath torn from him. Quen guttered and failed.

    or

    Geralt gets badly injured by a Griffin about 4 days away from Kaer Morhen, and Jaskier has to bring him to Kaer Morhen by himself

    Summary

    Geralt signed Igni to try to get a better look at his surroundings, but he could barely summon a spark. Still, the spark was enough to catch a flash of orange in his periphery, and with that Geralt became abruptly, excruciatingly aware of the massive pair of archgriffin wings dragging at his aching back.

    A.K.A. Geralt gets wings and, consequently, a bard, and must learn to live with them.

    Summary

    Percy and Vax get cursed, and end up in each other's bodies. Without Pike around to break the curse the two men have to wait it out until they can't find a solution to their problem.

    After surviving the Briarwoods and saving Whitestone they now face a different challenge.

    They have to learn how to cope with their new vessels, constantly dealing with each other's secrets and pain. They have no choice but to get to know each other, and as time progresses the curse gets stronger. Soon they find themselves behaving more and more like the other, experiencing each other's nightmares and then ultimately, reading each other's minds.

    Summary

    “We’ll just find someplace to hole up for a day or two,” Lambert said, low enough not to be heard by anyone else on the street. It wasn’t likely that anyone in town would be fool enough to hassle two witchers travelling together, but if they realized one was incapacitated, well. Better not to give them an opportunity. “Somewhere no one’s gonna tell you to get lost or go fuck yourself.”

     

    Aiden is hit by an obedience curse. Lambert muddles through.

    Summary

    Jaskier is caught in a very familiar position when the mage curses him: in bed with a woman, his dark hair mussed and messy, his cheeks flushed deep red. The woman sits across from him in a similar state of disrepair, blinking dully up at her husband.

     

    Or: Jaskier is cursed, shrunken to the size of a doll. Geralt protects the small bard as they track down the mage who did it. Jaskier does not make this easy (some of which is his fault; most of which is not).

    Summary

    Eskel cannot decide which is more embarrassing: that all of his brothers know that he’d gotten his ass handed to him by one of the larger bandit bands that plagued the Kaedwenian forests, or that Vesemir had declared his only remaining articles of clothing (which also happened to be among the few—emphasis on few—things that the bandits hadn’t taken from him) to have been damaged beyond repair—leaving him with a single pair of smalls, and the moth-bitten blanket Vesemir had pulled out from the bowels of the keep, to clothe him for the entirety of winter.

    …Melitele, he wants to crawl underneath the nearest rock and die.

    --

    Jaskier has a special present for Eskel, who is in need of a pick-me-up after an already bad season ends in disaster.

    Summary

    Geralt accidentally got himself cursed: he can't speak anymore to anyone who loves him.

    It's obvious where this - yet another Emhyr/Geralt story - is going to end; I'm in it for the details in between. Has LOL (lots of Lambert).

    Summary

    “Well, has anyone considered how bloody fucking hard it must be to be dead?” Jaskier explodes, and Geralt has to stop himself from taking an actual step back, his energy feels so physical. “They’re alive one moment, and the next they’re not, and nobody comes along and tells you to move along to the next realm, do you? You’re just— just stuck here, and you don’t know why, and you really don’t want to leave, but you’re terrified you can’t leave, and— Well, who could blame anyone for being terrifying when you’re that fucking terrified—”

    “Jaskier,” Geralt stops him, and Jaskier comes to a shuddering halt, chest heaving, face flushed with hectic colors, hands wringing together.

    For a long moment, the two of them stare at each other. Geralt’s heart, normally so slow, feels like it’s racing, nearly the pace of a human’s, so fast it’s choking him.

    “What happened?” Geralt asks him, throat tight.

    for a fortnight of horrors, day three: ghosts, ghouls, and “this place is haunted.”

    There was still time to hide the evidence or at least pretend to be polite to whoever was coming in, but moving was too much effort.

    Astronaut training is tough, especially when the exercises seem to be designed to make Aiden lose control.

    ———

    Summary

    After The MountainTM, Jaskier gets himself a nice new curse to wear, turning into a werewolf. He's not aware of much, but there is still something telling him to go north, go to the mountains. When Lambert meets the werewolf on his way home, and recognizes him, the witchers are up for an interesting winter.
    ...
    Or: Geralt never let the bard come truly close, but at the same time never imagined him truly gone. After he's left regretting his words at The MountainTM, he is presented with the bard cursed, and confronted with the result of his actions. Will the bard ever forgive him? And if he did, would that be enough to try and fix this?
    ...
    My intention was to write about 10k words of fluffy cuddling to break a curse, but then the angst came. This is the result.

    "Hello, Julian," Yennefer says coolly. "Listen carefully. We are only having this conversation because it’d make Geralt happy and I'm the best wife in the fucking world. You and I should have sex."

    Summary

    In the aftermath of being tortured for talking too much, Jaskier can't bring himself to speak. Geralt sympathizes with the bard, after all there was a reason he was so taciturn himself. Questions were not so much encouraged at Kaer Morhen. And for a lot of his life he'd always figured that is how you train a boy or an animal: hit it when it doesn't do what you want. After all, that was how he ended up as good at monster slaying as he was. But when it actually came down to it, that wasn't how he trained Roach. And negative reinforcement implies, at least etymologically, the existence of an opposite.
