Remembering the stories Geralt had told him Jaskier makes his way up to Kaer Morhen, where he meets Eskel. Unsure if he would be taken in as himself Jaskier, who is part fae, disguises himself as a cat and is taken in by the Witchers.

Summary
Eskel is the last one up the mountain this year. They all seem happy to see him, except for the one person who matters. It's okay though, Eskel knew he didn't mean anything to Geralt, anyway.

WIP!! my hope for this is that it will become a h/c with plenty of angst (and some smut) sprinkled along the way. I just have to... get it there :S

Summary
The Leshy had been the final fucking straw.
For decades, Eskel had found himself increasingly sick of walking the Path and living the life of monsters and money.
He had spent most of his life being hated for something he had no choice in: becoming a mutant.
It was thankless work, people didn’t want to pay even when he’d bested their monster, and everyone was afraid of him.
But winter came yet again as Eskel made his way up to Kaer Morhen, badly injured by a fucking Leshy, of all things,
And by the time Eskel was deemed free of the Leshy and able to rest, everyone else in the Keep was wrapped around the fingers of Geralt’s daughter, Ciri.
So when the pass was clear enough for travel in the spring, Eskel had made up his mind: he was done with doing what was expected of him.
Eskel wanted to retire.
In years bygone, Eskel had spent some time in Oxenfurt, sitting in on whatever classes at the University that allowed mutants, and he’d thoroughly enjoyed that pursuit of knowledge, though he could never afford the tuition to attend as a student.
And that is how Eskel found himself sneaking silently into a lecture on music theory given by “Professor Julian Pankratz”. -

Summary
You had always regarded Eskel as a larger man. It was the combination of the witcher mutagens and your somewhat short stature. He was like a bear next to you. And despite his usual politeness around other people, he had no qualms about pointing out the differences between the two of you, much to your dismay. That is until the encounter with the amulet.
Or, “can u write an eskel x short!reader? (established romantic relationship). so eskel always teases the reader for being short, but then he is cursed and shrinks to the height of like two inches or smthn? i thought it would be funny lol and the reader would look after him, but also tease him lmao. could it be a long one shot? if not, it's totally fine! :) i rlly like ur writing!”

Summary
Kaer Morhan was in ruin, even more than it was before. And with summer fading away at the base of the Blue Mountains the wolves met. The wolves had no place to return for winter, no home to hold them, no place to protect the child. To protect Ciri for even a single season.
The Griffin spoke, “I know a fellow Witcher we could ask to stay at.. their keep.”

Summary
Geralt is a god of death who really doesn't want to be worshipped by anyone.
Jaskier, of course, has other ideas.
~~~
“Geralt, forgive me, I…I should not have come here, shouldn’t have disturbed you. Please allow me to withdraw my prayer, no one needs to die,” Jaskier says shakily, and even though there is fear in the bard’s heart for his own life, largely there is regret and horror that he asked for Valdo’s death.
The demigod sighs softly, going down to one knee in front of the mortal, and very gently tilting Jaskier’s face to look up at him with a gloved finger under the bard’s chin. The witcher tries to make his stern countenance a gentler one and offers the man a small but sad smile as he murmurs in his gravelly baritone, “That’s not how this works, Jaskier. I can…set aside your request, as it were, but it doesn’t just go away. A prayer made must be answered.”

Summary
The pulse began in Toussaint.
Yennefer feels it first—an unnatural tremor in the soil, like a heartbeat buried beneath the vines. When a portal splits open in her private grove, bringing with it a dying elf and a bloodied warrior from another world, the signs are clear: something is bleeding through.
The rifts are opening. And what's coming through them isn't human.
Dyv was trained to hold the line against what destroyed her realm. Now she's stranded in this one with nothing but twin blades, a scarred past, and a promise to protect the world Ciri calls home.
As the cracks between worlds deepen, so do her ties to those fighting beside her—especially a quiet Witcher with kind eyes and a shadowed heart.
A canon-divergent Witcher fic about magic gone wrong, parallel realms, and a slow-burn romance with Eskel.
“She comes with blood in her teeth and flame in her soul,” the elf had said. And now, she was here.

Summary
When Eskel sees the first petal, it's so small he thinks nothing of it. While witchers don’t contract common diseases, it doesn’t prevent them from coughing up a bit of blood every now and again. When more and more continue to fall from his lips, he can’t deny the evidence in his hands. Small, delicate, red-pink petals that could blow away in the breeze with a single breath. So little that when he goes to collect them onto his handkerchief, he has to time his movements with his slowing heartbeat so as to not damage them further. Eskel knows his love will never be requited but he can have this part of Lambert.

Summary
“So,” Vesemir began. “I know you weren’t sharing the details, but I don’t believe that was the plan.”
Jaskier shook his head firmly. “No, no definitely not. I- well, you know, I was going back to talk to Vissena.”
“Did you find her?”
Jaskier scowled, glancing down at his hand. “…I may have punched her.”AKA: Jaskier time travels. And promptly incurs an apocalypse.
