#and geralt misinterpreted it and just thought they were married this whole time

[roughentumble]

wait wait wait WAIT one day geralt mentions his husband in a sort of roundabout way, and jaskier is like YOUR HUSBAND???? and geralt’s like *amused* yes? my husband? and jaskier goes off to lick his wounds about it, because he had no idea, and he’s a little insulted that he didnt get an invite to the wedding, but mostly he’s just-- yearning. he thought he might have a chance with geralt, SOMEday, but not if the man’s already married!

the mystery man keeps coming up, albeit rarely, little comments like “i think my husband would like these,” while pointing out some jewelry at a vendor’s stall, or once jaskier caught him with a quill and ink and geralt said he was writing to his husband, “parting is hard but letters help to ease the ache, a bit.” at least jaskier gets his own letter, too, that winter. a little consolation prize.

or so he thinks, until it’s finally revealed that geralt has been talking about jaskier this whole time

#this post is a mess but i swear theres an idea in here like i can see it in my head so clearly #like!!!! maybe they did something that in Ye Olden Days would mean they were married but it doesnt anymore #and geralt misinterpreted it and just thought they were married this whole time #or maybe some drunken evening they DID get married only jaskier doesnt remember it and geralt DOES #but whatever happened. what that means is that geralt has been calling jaskier husband for YEARS #and jaskier never caught on. not once #he was just like. who's that other dog in the mirror. what is he donig here #jealous of HIMSELF!!!!!! #witcher tag #ogc tag #i know im a one trick pony but if you bully me i'll cry #miscomm-union-cation tag
