Summary
“So, this is how witchers flirt,” Jaskier says suddenly, playfully, and Geralt jolts.
“You’re meant to be dying.”
<--->
It takes a near-death-experience-cross-one-night-stand for him to realise Jaskier might be the most important person in the world. But when a job leads them to a city steeped in conspiracy and Jaskier’s secrets, it only gets more difficult to unravel what hasn’t been said. -

Summary
Jaskier is born with a rare ability that he struggles to control in his youth. After meeting Geralt, he decides more than ever that his secret must remain that - secret. But when the truth comes out, will Geralt see him as a monster, or more?
-
Inspired by an idea I saw on Tumblr from @thedemonofcat [paraphrased]: "Jaskier born with a form of magic that is considered useless (like he could make flowers appear naturally/talk to animals) and is never able to train it. After Rience, he begins to lose control of it, and tried to hide it from everyone at Kaer Morhen".

Summary
Jaskier has more than one name. He has his stage name Jaskier, his real name Julian, his teaching name Professor Pankratz, his noble name Viscount Pankratz of Lettenhove, and The Sandpiper as of late. He never meant to keep them a secret, really; he had simply forgotten to tell them.
In which Geralt and the Morhen Morons discover Jaskier's other names.

Summary
It’s midsummer in Oxenfurt, the time when graduating music students compete in the annual song contest to win a prestigious prize that will kickstart their careers as professional bards. And this year, Jaskier is the well-deserved favourite to be crowned its victor and – so he hopes – earn the approval of his lordly father and the heart of his current muse. But Jaskier doesn’t count on his archrival Valdo Marx and his villainous scheming: what kind of man steals a fellow musician's lute?
Suddenly, Jaskier's dreams and ambitions seem a distant memory compared to his new struggle: surviving through the night. But destiny comes in many forms – if only Jaskier can embrace the legendary Butcher of Blaviken and find the truth that lurks beneath the lie.

Summary
Eskel is a broken man after Deirdre nearly killed him. He decides to hunt her down but then stumbles over an unexpected problem - a little boy who needs his help.
Possibly a one-shot, more character study than plot, but maybe I will write another chapter if the plot bunny bites me again. :)

Summary
It was wrong to think like that, to feel weak in the knees at the thought of an older, mature man, with skills and confidence in themselves, with life experience and stories to tell. He had always had a thing for older men, and it had gotten him nothing but trouble and heartache back in Oxenfurt. He shouldn’t be thinking of Geralt’s brother with that fluttery, warm excitement low in his stomach and his fingers twitching to play the songs he might write about such a man. Eskel seemed perfectly lovely, and if Geralt was to be believed he was unlikely to find anything interesting in a bard like himself, a practical child just off his mother’s teat compared to the lifespan of a Witcher.
It was enough to make him want to weep.
---
Jaskier wants nothing more than to impress Geralt's handsome brother, but there's something he doesn't know about how Witchers feel about their human companions (and neither Witcher cares to explain to the oblivious bard why he gets all the pampering and snuggles he doesn't even know he craves) -

Summary
Geralt prostě jen chce nechat to, co se stalo se Stregoborem v Blavikenu (a i tu pitomou přezdívku, co mu to vyneslo), daleko za sebou, a dosáhnout na svou vysněnou profesuru. Jenže na volné místo na biologické fakultě Oxenfurtské univerzity nově nastoupí MgA. Julián A. P. Lettenhove, Ph.D., a Geraltův klid naruší otázka, na kterou by moc rád znal odpověď: co dělá magistr umění v genetické laboratoři?

Summary
He almost fell asleep in an alcove, his first night, only to make his first kill shortly thereafter, when an older boy - definitely at least twelve summers - tried to gut him in his sleep. In a blind panic, he’d grabbed the boy’s wrist and twisted it round to land the knife in his own gullet, and the boy had been too surprised to resist.
That was the last time Julian had slept easily.
He learnt from his mistakes and the mistakes of others. He realised, when a little red-headed girl choked on water from one of the wells, that no act of sabotage was considered out of line, and he quickly got used to the concept of stealing when he caught another boy trying to pilfer his knives while he slept - and Julian never slept soundly anymore, the faintest of noises enough to jolt him back into consciousness, swinging a weapon.
Most importantly, he survived - thrived, even - because never made the same mistake twice.

Summary
Soulmates share not a name on their wrist or a picture across their skin but their talents.
Jaskier has always been able to use a sword, having all the skills of a Witcher without any mutations to make them usable.
Geralt has never been interested in finding a Soulmate that he'll be forced to watch die, but he can't escape the knowledge that he has all the skills of a bard.
As an ancient curse pushes them together... perhaps the future will be better for it... -

Summary
Bonusová šukací kapitolka k Zaklínač/Idiot Elves crossoverové sérijce, kterou všichni moc dobře známe a milujeme. Ha.
Děj se odehrává po sedmém díle, ale pokud se nechcete zatěžovat milionem slov příběhů bez šoupaček, poslužte si a pojďte rovnou sem, nic se nestane.
Abych vám dal kontext, nesnáším psaní šoupaček, nedělám to rád ani v angličtině, natož v češtině, ALE potřeboval jsem udělat něco moc hezkýho pro drahou přítelkyni a upřímně mě zajímalo, jestli je možný napsat českej smut, aniž by zněl totálně cringeworthy. Takže tak.
Enjoy a nebrečte!Series

Summary
Julian Alfred Pankratz, heir of the title of Viscount de Lettenhove, was born in the middle of a summer storm. While the waves were cresting against the cliffs, he came into this world with a song in his soul and the sea in his veins. His birth wasn’t a happy one though. His first cry lingered on the echoes of his mother’s last. As it was wont with their family, the sea only relinquished one of her own, while claiming another. She reclaimed Julian’s mother while giving him to the land. But her rage made the walls of the castle tremble and the cliffs supporting it strain. Whoever said that stone can’t scream didn’t hear the inhuman noises of that night.

Summary
“That was pitiful.” Yennefer says. Jaskier scowls at her.
“Yen.”
“What? It was. I swear I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop. I went for a walk. This place is so bloody boring.” Her violet eyes flick to his necklace. “He thinks you’re going to die of old age on him.”
“I know.”
“So? What are you going to do about it?” She stares at him expectantly, and he groans.
---
Their stay at the farmer's home is coming to an end, and Geralt and Ciri need to head somewhere safe. Jaskier won't go with them without finally telling Geralt the truth. If only the thought didn't make his stomach twist with nerves.

Summary
To be quite fair, he didn't think Geralt kept him for anything but the convenient flow of money. And perhaps tolerated him as a mild form of gratitude for having almost entirely cleared his name in the decade they'd known each other. There were times where Geralt had treated him as, in fact, a friend, but those were moments too few in between to compensate.
So Jaskier would grant his wish and make sure to never cross paths with him.

Summary
"Look, why don't we leave tomorrow?" Jaskier says, his voice barely a whisper above the mountain's wind. "We could head to the coast. Get away for a while." He steals a glance at the witcher, then turns his gaze back to the mountains. "Life is too short... Do what pleases you... while you can."
"Composing your next song?" Geralt asks, his voice a low rumble.
"Just... trying to work out what pleases me."
Jaskier figures out what pleases him, in the end.
