    Summary

    “You’re making a mistake,” Jaskier says. “Trust me – I’ll be watching Geralt rip out your intestines before all this is over. I’ve seen it before. It’s not pretty.” He draws himself up, shows his teeth. If this is going to go badly, he intends to be as difficult as possible about it.

    The alderman glares at him. “Enough of this,” he says, commanding; there’s a heavy dull thud at the back of Jaskier’s head, and a brief burst of pain, and then blackness.

    When Geralt is late returning from a hunt, Jaskier’s the one who suffers for it. Things get worse before they get better.

    Summary

    Geralt gently laid Jaskier's arm to rest and picked up the right one. He did the same range of motion tests. His right wrist preferred a straight position but resisted side-to-side or backward-forwards rotation. The socket of his thumb was swollen; his fingers preferred to curl in. The forearm muscles had the same lumpy tissue embedded in them as the left arm.

    "A lot of musicians develop problems with their hands, but not until they're older," Jaskier whispered. His voice twisted, tears pooling in his eyes. "I'm barely in my twenties. I haven't even been playing the lute a full decade and this! This happens?!"

    "It's not from age," which ended the rant before it fully began.

    "It's not?"

    "It's a repetitive motion injury. Anyone can get it, any trade, any age. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Witchers."

    (Just a little fic about how Geralt shows his friendship)
