[ID: season 2 Jaskier reaches out to grasp the memory of season 1 Geralt and Jaskier as they are laughing together. Below the image are the words “I miss the days when you loved me”. End ID]
How does the great Sandpiper successfully smuggle 130 children out of the Nilfgaard-occupied territory of Hamm? With the power of a forgotten story, a traditional song, and a masterful lie.
A piece for my upcoming fic, The Piper of Hamm, based on The Pied Piper of Hamelin, next in my fairy tale series.
Look we all know Jaskier is basically the same size as Geralt, and very much made of muscle. He'd have to be because Geralt gets hurt more times than Jaskier is pleased or comfortable with, and well someone has to pick Geralt up off the ground and carry him to Roach/Camp/Town.
Geralt knows this of course, he just forgets because Jaskier tailors his clothes to hide the muscle.
But... but his brothers don't know.
Geralt takes extreme pleasure in watching a very reluctant Jaskier tossing Lambert with barely any effort...
Anyway I'm still not over Jaskier finding things just lying around in a witcher laboratory and just. Immediately putting them in his mouth
Because like? This is not a behaviour that's going to go unnoticed for long. Either someone will see him doing it, or Lambert will stomp into the great hall and demand to know who's moved his partially-brewed Maribor Forest and Jask will really casually be like, "Oh, was it in a mug? Yeah I drank that. Sorry."
Give me the kaer morons figuring out over winter that Jask isn't fully human purely because he cannot resist a Mystery Substance and keeps consuming things that should be able to kill him outright, and he thinks they're fucking with him when they tell him how dangerous some of these ingredients are for a human.
(He admits to Coën at one point, completely relaxed, that he did try some of Geralt's potions early in their friendship, but they tasted like paint thinner and gave him a tummy ache, so he's left them alone ever since. Coën blinks at him, repeating tummy ache in disbelief, and wonders how the fuck Geralt still thinks his bard is human after twenty years of this shit)
So I had just learned that Joey Batey is trained in Fencing and medieval sword fighting. I put this out in the world for those who did not know. In case there are any fanfic writer that wants to do a story about Jaskier sword-fighting
