The Pieces of a Bard by Armybrat26
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, The Witcher (TV)

Summary
Jaskier knows that he's being hunted. He knows, eventually, he will be captured. He knows too much about Geralt-- about Witchers in general-- to get caught without proper preparation. So he sets out, looking for Witchers to entrust with the things he values most. The things he can't let Nilfgaard get their hands on.
It's in his nature to play tricks, to steal. And stealing from the White Flame is fun. Until his mind slowly decends into madness.

If You Ask Me for My Fire (Just Watch Me Burn) by DigitalSaiyan

Summary
Jaskier has zero intention of sharing the degrading experience of getting tortured. Ever. He’ll bury the memories and someday they’ll be as scabbed over as Caingorn was.
Which had been completely, absolutely, fine. And the only reason that wound is bleeding a little now is because fucking Geralt came out of nowhere—after the most humiliating experience of his entire life—and reopened the fucking thing. But that’s fine because he’ll leave and return to the terror of his smuggling work and forget about Geralt all over again. There’s nothing hard drink and the constant danger of execution won’t get his mind off. Because there’s something therapeutic about fearing for one’s life that makes anything not of immediate concern go away.
So yes, things were just fine before Geralt showed up.
Two years post-Caingorn, Geralt rescues Jaskier from prison and sends him with Ciri to Kaer Morhen. However, Geralt suspects Jaskier is hiding serious trauma.

Summary
A gift to the Warlord, that’s what Jaskier is. What he is too, is a chained-up Siren without a voice. They took him from his sea, bound him in silver, took away his voice and put him in a tank to become entertainment to the royals of Redania. He’s been reduced to an quiet, defenceless creature, to be gawked and laughed at. And now he might die at the hands of a Witcher. Is it bad that he longs for it? For finally being at peace?
When the Warlord of the North overthrows several kingdoms, all of Redania is desperate to please him. They send him the biggest gift of all. A Siren without a voice.
Inspired by The Accidental Warlord and his Pack. (What a fic)

Summary
Yennefer wasn’t paying too much attention the night before, when Jaskier was talking about dying poets. She was too lost in her own fears and hurts to focus on Jaskier- but now what she did hear lingers, leaving a filthy taste on her tongue. Rotten chamomile and moth-eaten linen, the stench of ale and mice.. it floats around her head like a truly awful cloud.
She searches. Yennefer searches for Geralt’s bardling through the streets of Oxenfurt, her attention grabbed by a cut off scream by the tavern she had found him in. While he was screaming then, it was a righteous scream- shouting about the way Geralt broke his heart, putting on a show to cover up his schemes.. that wasn’t a scream anyone wanted to hear, what she just heard.
Violet eyes darken, Yennefer’s stare hardening on the locked tavern’s doors.———
Day nine of angstober! Yennefer tries to find Jaskier and saves him after finding his broken lute. On the way she realises she cares a bit more about Geralt’s bard than she realises.Series

Summary
The beer is stale as it goes down his throat, burning and disgusting but it feels right. It felt right as he growled into the mug, cried into the mug. He’s supposed to be over him! This is supposed to be okay, and maybe it would have been okay if a year and eight months ago he was where he could’ve been saved, but no- he didn’t know that. Jaskier didn’t know that a year and eight months ago he was being searched for as a professor and not a famous musician but really it should have made sense because neither Yennefer nor Geralt thought his singing was very good—
a pie without filling.
He tangles a scarred hand in his hair, shoving the tankard aside as he slid down the wooden wall. The door eventually cracked open, and there sat Bernard- lovely, amazing, kind Bernard.
“Are you..?”
“Don’t,” Jaskier rasped, rubbing desperately at his eyes.
———
After what happened on the mountain Jaskier finds fame. Rience finds him in a small port town instead of Oxenfurt and a year (and eight months) later Geralt finds him in a small port town instead of Oxenfurt.
Burn Butcher Burn ensues, as do bitter feelings and biting words.Series

Summary
“He died here, Geralt. Saw him with my own two eyes. He lasted a while- a few months, maybe? Old vacation home, he was a viscount- did you know that?” Geralt did not know that. He.. really wishes he did. “Said you’d come. That if he couldn’t find you you’d find him. ‘parently he was right, just forty-eight years too late. Some stories say he fell, some say he was done in- I know the truth Geralt. I saw him at his worst, I comforted him in his worst.” It was hissed out, those brown eyes not so kind. They nearly looked black in this lighting.
“You’re nothin like the hero he made you out to be. You’re a monster, through and through- and I think he deserves closure. I’m thinkin destiny thinks so too- because Meletite knows you’d have waited another hundred before restin your feet in this town’s sand. You’ve got my food and my room for as long as it takes to free his soul- and then you better leave and you better not come back, butcher.”

Summary
After the incident that shall not be named and certainly not discussed, the incident that
happened on the mountain and crushed Jaskier’s heart into tiny particles of dust, he
travelled alone. He told himself that he had done it before and he could do it again. He
forced himself to sing and to play, performing in all the big cities and some smaller, and for
a while, for a long while he was worried that he would never experience the rush of
pleasure that he usually got from performing. But little by little the joy returned, not so
bright as it had once been but enough to be a comfort to him and to make him get through
the days and the nights that were suddenly so much lonelier than before.Of course it was then, when he had started to heal from the incident that shall not be
named, that he was kidnapped. A cruel trick of the universe, if there ever was one. -

Summary
Jaskier officially hated Witches, Wizards, Mages, Sorcerers, Sorceresses, and anything else that could do the casting of Curses.
Of course, that included some creatures he was rather fond of–Incubi were good with a little give and take, Fauns were devious little tricksters that he got along rather well with beyond that one encounter in the Valley his most famed ballad makes note of-but those, and various other neutral creatures were not what he currently loathed.
No, it was the damned spell-casting humans he found himself most rightly displeased with. He found himself justified in his vehement anger toward them, but Geralt would just scoff or shake his head and put Roach into a Trott on off down the road, using one of his almost-smiles he has reserved for Jaskier and Jaskier alone, and–Best stop that train of thought. It wouldn’t matter what Geralt would or wouldn’t do, because….well.
Because Geralt isn’t physically in this situation, even if he is the main topic of it.

Summary
Somehow it was worse to remember the happy times. Things had been very good with Geralt for a while. Sure, Jaskier never felt like he could truly keep up with the Witcher, but he had tried his best back when he was around Geralt. Jaskier always tried his best for Geralt’s sake. For some reason, he wanted to impress the Witcher. Hell, at one point he asked Geralt to run away with him! Why couldn’t they just run away? Then the bard would not have to be in the awful place he was in now. He could be where he wanted: next to Geralt of Rivia. All he had to accompany him now were whatever lost souls had also lost their lives in this dungeon.
