Whenever Jaskier gets drunk and upset with Geralt, he inevitably attempts to run away with Roach.
Yet, this scheme invariably fails, as Roach, being the remarkable horse she is, dutifully returns Jaskier to where Geralt is patiently waiting to tuck the inebriated bard into bed.

Jaskier: Are You okey?
Geralt: Yeah... *Looking at the sky with anger*
Jaskier: It doesn't seem like it *looking at the sky too*
Roach: *Above the roof of a house*
Jaskier: I'll bring the apples...

So we all know the stories where Jaskier collects Witchers like dnd players and dice, how could he not!? And we all know that the ones where Witchers collect Jaskiers friendship too.
But honestly, I just want a fic where the Witchers mounts and lil bleater just collect the noisy-colourful-being-withsnacks...
Animals are smart okay, the horses talk to eachother because how else would they get civilised conversation and of course they'd brag about who carried the heaviest for longest, how many times their stupid people got hurt...
Roach starts off complaining about the noisy-being that followed them one day that just never stopped making noises or trying to pet her. The years pass and the complaints turn into fondess and she comes home more full and cared for than she had in a long time and her witcher does too.
The others, Scorpion, horse, lil bleater all want to meet the human, try to ease their own witchers burdens and just... does.
Jaskier is away from geralt for a competition, and suddenly, he has a very insistent goat bleating at him, pushing him off the road towards Eskel who was injured.
It just goes on from there... Lambert's mount Horse finds him, lips at the pants roach knew held sugar cubes and both Lambert and Jaskier stare at eachother awkwardly while he feeds horse the cubes.
Word travels between the mounts, a hawk that was a familiar to a Griffin flys down and rests on Jaskiers lute while playing, scaring the fuck out of him but shows him to another injured witcher.
Then the mountain happens
Roach loses her horse mind in anger at her Witcher, there would be no more soft songs, no more flowers in her main or apples, her Noisy-foal gone...
The animals revolt, it's a hard season for all witchers and when Geralt gets back after Cintra and Jaskier is with him the animals just go absolutely ballistic in joy and surround him
All the witchers are just watching with the most adorable wtf faces ever.

Honestly, Geralt wasn't actively seeking Djinn, but somehow one appeared in the lake.
However, this time, Geralt wasn't the one to gain control. It was Roach, and the Djinn could sense the horse's desires to grant wishes.
The initial wish materialized as an abundance of apples.
The subsequent wish caught Geralt off guard. Roach wished for Jaskier's presence, whom Geralt hadn't seen since the mountain, yet there he was, magically summoned.

Geralt keeps replacing Roach with another Roach for years now, only fair that Roach gets her revenge
