title: Enough
word count: ~200
Jaskier and Geralt have a moment to avoid actually processing any of their grief in Brokilon Forest
(Speculative Season 3 Pt 2 Ficlet)
“Ok?”
“Always,” Jaskier says, not even trying to make the smile meet his eyes.
“Hmm,” Geralt replies, eloquent as always. (But he is. Jaskier knows exactly what the unimpressed ‘hmm’ means. Geralt knows Jaskier is full of shit but will let it go if that’s what Jaskier really wants.)
“I think—I think I fell in love.”
“You told me once you never wanted to feel the way I feel about Yen about anyone.”
“And I was right. It was awful.”
“Was? Seems quick.”
Jaskier’s laugh is a wobbly, pathetic thing. “Is awful. Is somehow even awfuller than I always thought it would be. It’s... I don’t regret the choices I’ve made, but it’s not fair.”
Geralt squeezes Jaskier’s shoulder and looks at him with alarming intensity. It’s a pavlovian response at this point for Jaskier to relax under the attention and pressure, but the instinctive exhale makes the lump in his throat worse.
Jaskier drops his head and squeezes his eyes shut. He doesn’t want to cry again. If he starts he may never stop. Radovid and his heartbreak are only a layer of ice over a bottomless well of grief. It’s Ciri and Yennefer and all the heartbreak he can’t ignore as the world turns on itself. He’ll work through it all someday, turn it into a song, something helpful. But not here. Not now.
Geralt sits with Jaskier, will sit with Jaskier as long as it takes. It’s enough.
(@kuwdora since this is at least partially inspired by what we were talking about when i initially finished the series)

In honour of getting though Witcher season 3 I would like to share with you my thought process while watching this show, not that anyone asked. Can you tell Jaskier is my fav?
Season 1
Me, seeing Jaskier for the first time: a baby! Must protect, already fave.
Me throughout the season: How are you still alive? And how are you not aging?
Me still at season one going through social media: oh, so you don't like Jaskier, huh? Square up bitch cos I'm coming for your ass. Also why the hell is he called Dandelion? Jaskier is a buttercup not a dandelion? Dandelion would be so fucking funny though [image of Sid and last dandelion of season vivid in my mind]
Me still on season one: ok I know we NEED to normalise closeness between two male friends but that's definitely gay, right? Like Jaskier just readies such dumbass bisexual energy and he so clearly is in love with Geralt
Me, during the mountain scene: Bitch, bitch, bitch how dare you [actually insert the Jaskier HOW DARE YOU picture] actually stops watching the show for like a week
Season 2
Me, immediately at the beginning: where's Jaskier? Where's my man? My child? Where's that idiot?
Me, after I see Jaskier: what have they DONE to you? But the songs absolutely slaps (talking about the whore song that was so funny)
The apology scene: Nope, nope, sir that's the most half assed apology I've ever seen
Overall season two: yes, yes serious matters and Jaskier is a comic relief but could you just try to give him some more screen time like bitch he's trying his best, he risks his life, he does some good, he loves Ciri and Geralt just fucking appreciate him! I know it ain't about him but for being Geralts friend for so fucking long I think he deserves some appreciation for his accomplishments from others characters, even a little
Season 3
Sees trailer: "Dear friend.." ahaha that's for Jaskier for sure! [Sees a blur of him] oh thank god he's in here!
Me, after seeing Jaskier: oh, god oh no. Why, why, WHY?! WHO they fuck took the game design?! Put it back I say PUT IT BACK!!!
Me seeing Radowid: *squints as he praises Jaskier, clearly flirts with him and actually appreciates him UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE* I want to trust you but that would be a mistake
Me, throughout the season: ah, so you finally admit that Jaskier is in love with Geralt who somewhat patched things up with Yen so you give Jaskier a new love interest, who is a man [icarly interesting image]
(listen I loved them this season but it felt like a weird sudden jump in their relationship and idk, by this season rocked I just wished they included Jaskier more and if canonicaly were not getting Graskier then fucking give him some screen time as a part of a family! He's great with Ciri!)
Also that Valdo scene was fucking HILARIOUS
Me when, suprise, suprise Radowid did a backflip: I knew it, why am I surprised, I knew it. Jaskier why do you have a TYPE?!
Final thoughts: Jaskier fits perfectly into their witcher family dynamics just give him more screen time! Please! also very curious about Radowid redemption arc although I'm not ready to let go yet, and also may I add the music, fantastic, don't care if it's periodic or not Joey my man you killed it.
It's clear that Jaskier has a type for like unrequited/getting hurt type of love or the writers just love whumping him which like fine but then make it fucking seen like by others? It takes a fucking plot device character in SEASON 3 to see it? like give me some fucking comfort as well you assholes.
Also super weird that they went with the game design and gradually changed it simultaneously ageing Jaskier. I mean why now? He hasn't aged in like a decade and then he suddenly did? Just keep him immortal will you?
Idk it's chaotic lads cos I just finished it and I think I've seen season 1 most times and the rest kinda blurs together so

MerMay Event
Here is the roundup post for the Passiflora Discord's MerMay Challenge. Thanks to everyone who participated!
A Reverie Endeavor by Althe_a: Lambert is convinced Aiden can't swim and is determined to help.
Kelp Forests and Trinkets by @dapandapod: As per usual, Jaskier bursts into the room, telling Geralt about his day, arms waving and fins swirling with expression. Sometimes, Geralt feels like he could watch him speak forever. "What's that?" Jaskier interrupts himself, mid story, finally picking up on what Geralt is hiding in his hands. Geralt feels his face heat up, and he offers up the little treasure to Jaskier with an open palm. "Found this when patrolling," Geralt mumbles. "Thought you might like it." Jaskier's smile is blinding. He picks it up, the very tips of his fingers brushing against Geralt's palm. There is no reason for that to send a shiver through him, down to his tail fin, but it does.
Gift by @deans-ch-ch-cherrypie: Geralt knew the sea would present him with a gift. A treasure from its bottomless depths. But he’d been expecting bountiful gold coins and pearls. Not a living creature. 
Essi Daven by @flawney
Graskier art (for A Little More) by @flawney
The Little Manmer by @jaskiersvalley with art by myr73k: As far as curses went, not only was the one cast on Emhyr undignified, it was also most annoying. Every night he turned into half man, half fish. If only the idiot wizard could have got it right and made the bottom half the fish.
A Mer Thing by @kueble: Jaskier is touch-starved and Eskel helps him out.
A Little More by @kueble: Mer!Jaskier needs to mate and Geralt is very willing. 
Falling to You by @softdarlingjaskier: Perhaps, given that Jaskier walked all night instead of sleeping, it was unavoidable that his body would choose for him. He nods off, just slightly; his chin tips down toward his chest and his shoulders lose their tension, subsequently resulting in a loosened grip on his lute. There’s one thick moment where he enjoys the lapse, his body heavy and it feels good to give in. As soon as realizes what’s happening, however, he jerks himself up straight, flailing to keep his body from collapsing forward and into the ocean.And it’s exactly that which is his literal downfall.or, mer!Geralt saves Jaskier from drowning.
Jaskier stumbling on mer!Lambert art by @spacecores
Underwater Love by Taender_kisses: Geralt wants to bathe with his boyfriend, but Jaskier has a secret to confess.

prompt: I am still not over how cute your fic about grabby hands Jaskier was <3 can you give me: Jaskier having a nightmare, Geralt wakes him and has to comfort and hold him? telling him everything will be okay? <3
Ellie... I’m sorry. This got... not cuddly...? I had a place I wanted to go then I got dragged down this rabbit hole 😖 I can try again! when the dumbass in my head is less moody?
Warnings: nightmares, guilt. so much guilt why am I like this
__________
Geralt woke with a start to Jaskeir’s fists clutching his shirt and soft whimpers coming from the still sleeping bard. A wave of guilt washed over him as he shifted onto his side, pulling Jaskier in close and placing a kiss on his forehead. He was sure he knew this nightmare, it was his fault, as were most of the bard’s nightmares. 
“Jaskier, wake up,” he whispered, brushing his soft chocolate hair out of his face as his heart threatened to break from the way Jaskier’s face twitched in fear, “Darling. Wake up, it’s just me.”
A soft gasp escaped his lips as Jaskier’s eyes flashed open, not registering reality for a moment before he was flooded with relief. He buried his face in Geralt’s neck, drawing deep, shaking breaths to try to calm himself.
“It’s okay. I’ve got you. I’m right here.” Geralt hummed, feeling sick to his stomach as he lied. He couldn’t tell his lover anything was okay any more than a child could wield his swords, not to mention his failings were the reason the bard was trembling in his arms. But Geralt wrapped him up tight nonetheless, situating them so Jaskier was laying atop his chest, hands tucked around his ribs and underneath this shoulder blades. Geralt’s hands traveled up and down the backs of his arms and his shoulders in soothing strokes as he whispered more and more comforting lies to his bard. 
“It was-” Geralt was about to say ‘just a dream’ but that was too bold a lie, and he was not a good enough actor. 
Jaskier shuddered, clinging to him just a little more forcefully, “You left. In my dream... “ he sniffed and turned his head to rest the other cheek on Geralt’s chest, “... you left and I tried to stop you but- you- kept walking.” He tried to keep his voice even but his body insisted on squeaking inhales before tears finally fell from his eyes.
“I will never leave you.” Geralt insisted, pulling him up so they were nose to nose, “Never.”
Jaskier tilted his head to rest his forehead on Geralt’s with his eyes closed, “Say it again,” he breathed.
Geralt closed his own eyes in shame, wishing he could erase the way he’d panicked and ran in the beginning, “Jullek, I will never, as long as I live, leave your side. Nothing on the continent could take me from you... You are the only good thing in my life and... I owe you everything. I am never leaving you.”
Geralt felt tears splash over his eyelids and his heart cleaved in two.
Jaskier’s breath was ragged and his voice sounded raw from holding back sobs when he finally spoke, “I love you.”
“I love you too.”

With Joey's bake off vid, I hope to see fics with the disaster of Jaskier trying to bake off cook for Geralt and failing epically one for Geralt to walk in and find him cussing out a baking pan covered in flour. I need this

PROMPT #25
Person A goes to uni/college and finds out their room is being haunted by someone around their age, who seems kinda annoyed but not scary, so person A goes out of their way to find out how to communicate with them and they work together to find out what happened to them. (Que sarcastism ["this room is haunted" "I've been here for 250 years and I've never seen a ghost" "you are the ghost shut up, and we don't know how long you've been here"], a murder mystery and living with someone who can phase through walls, turn invisible and likes to make person A seem insane)
Bonus, for the ending you could have them be "reborn", person A meeting someone who looked so much like their friendly ghost that it might just be them, or they were actually in a coma and its a race against life support being removed and getting the ghost to unghostify, or you could have them end like that, leaving them to pass on.
