s1 geraskier // When the bard first joins him on the path, Geralt doesn’t think he’ll remain by his side long. Jaskier, though, repeatedly proves him wrong.
The first night they spend together, Geralt half expects the bard to try and jump his bones. He doesn’t, though, apparently too occupied composing his next song.
“How about -” he strums the lute, making a series of noises that Geralt doesn’t think he’ll ever get accustomed to.
They sit by a fire together. Two bedrolls nearby, next to one another, and that, also, is a new sight. The bard was quick to claim a spot right next to Geralt, all while muttering something about needing to keep warm at night. Geralt didn’t protest it.
“No, that’s not quite right, is it - I should try -”
“Bard,” Geralt grunts.
Finally, the bard looks at him. His eyes widen when he notices the food that Geralt is holding out towards him.
“You haven’t eaten since we left Posada,” Geralt says simply.
And it’s not so much that Geralt is worried about him. It’s more so that he doesn’t want to have a dead body on his hands and, for some reason, the bard refuses to leave.
“Oh. Oh, how lovely. Thank you.”
He will. It’s just a matter of time before he does, Geralt thinks.
Tumblr media
Their first fight happens when the bard stubbornly refuses to let Geralt cross through Blaviken. He learns quick, apparently, because after that first punch, not only does he not bring up the tales of a butcher, but also his scent fills with both concern and rage whenever someone else does.
Now, he stands stubbornly in front of Roach, arms crossed as he looks up at Geralt.
“No, no, no, Geralt, you don’t really want to go there, do you?”
“It’s the quickest route.”
“And it is also Blaviken! We can go around, why are you in such a rush all of a sudden?”
“I’m going,” Geralt growls at him, already steering Roach to step around him. “You can stay behind if you so choose, bard.”
This will be it, Geralt thinks. No more of lute melodies or irritating songs. Just blessed silence that he now so dreads.
“Oh for Melitele’s sake.”
To Geralt’s surprise, there’s a heavy sigh from behind and then footsteps follow. The bard rushes after him.
“Geralt, slow down! I’m coming. I’m coming! Gods, you can be so stubborn sometimes. Did you truly believe I was going to let you go there alone?”
“Hm.”
Geralt doesn’t say that he did.
Tumblr media
The first time the bard sings Toss A Coin in front of an audience, Geralt sits in the back and fears the worst.
They have just arrived in this town and most of the people gathered at the tavern seem blissfully unaware of a witcher’s presence. The bard has gone through his usual repertoire of jaunty tunes and Geralt hasn’t been expecting him to get to this one - in fact, he’s certain the reason the bard hadn’t brought it up before is because he knew Geralt would protest it.
Now, though, it’s too late. The bard sings of elves and devils, a nicely colorized version of what had happened in Posada.
It doesn’t go well.
But rather than blame Geralt for it, the bard is furious with the crowd around him. Even if Geralt hadn’t believed the bard’s words, his posture, his scent, they all give it away. The way he puts himself in front of Geralt when they leave, as though trying to shield him from the townsfolk.
“Absurd, this is simply absurd,” the bard huffs and puffs once they’re outside. “They know nothing! How can they claim that - gods, they don’t even know you, if they had known the things you’ve done for them -”
“Bard.”
“No, no, don’t give me that, don’t tell me this is fine, it is very much not!”
“You don’t even know what I was going to say.”
“Well, I think I’ve been around you enough to be able to guess, my dear friend.”
Friend.
It’s the first time the bard has called him his friend.
Tumblr media
After a particularly bad hunt, Geralt stumbles into their room still high on potions, black veins running through his face and all senses heightened, painfully so.
The moment he opens the door, the bard begins to ramble, except he cuts himself off as soon as he looks up and his eyes land on Geralt.
The bard blinks, slowly, and the movement of his body rings loudly in Geralt’s ears. He tries not to read too much into the bard’s expression or the way his heart skips a beat as he continues to stare. Instead, Geralt continues forward on unsteady legs until his knees hit the edge of the bed and buckle underneath him. He sways, but to his surprise there’s a hand on his shoulder that steadies him
“Alright, big guy, slowly,” the bard says, his voice barely a murmur. As though he knows how loud everything is, how overwhelming. As though he listened when Geralt had told him about the potions, about their effects.
He must have.
“Come on, now. Let’s - yeah. Let’s get you sitting.”
And the bard sits with him, not a trace of fear on him, even as Geralt trembles with the aftershocks, more beast than a human.
It’s the first time Geralt dares to believe that Jaskier will stay.

[fic]: I can see through you (The Witcher)
I can see through you Geralt & Jaskier, rated T, ~5k role reversal, Witcher Jaskier, canonical divergence, non-canonical disabled character, 1x02 Four Marks
“What the fuck is a witcher doing with a lute in a backwater tavern?” Geralt asked when he finally caught up.
“I’m a bard, not a witcher,” the bard corrected sternly. His eyes were still milky white, his skin too pale and tacky with sweat. Geralt walked in front of him and stopped abruptly. The bard side-stepped Geralt and kept on walking.
“Not exactly blind either,” Geralt said.
“You’re not exactly quiet, clanking about with all your swords,” the bard retorted.
--
Geralt encounters a blind bard who is more than meets the eye
