    Summary

    According to Geralt, when things go to shit, Jaskier is always there- so it makes sense that he’s in the city when Cintra falls. What makes less sense is what comes after.

     

    This is not an elegy. This is an epic.

    Summary

    The bard's shirt, loose-fitting as it was, had come untucked at the back, revealing a strip of pale skin – and a line of dark hair running down the base of his spine, dipping out of sight down below the waistband of his breeches and up behind his shirt and doublet. It was the heat, she’d reflect later, that made her so uncharacteristically loose-lipped. “Does it go all the way up?”

    Five times Yennefer was curious about Jaskier's back hair and one time she had her curiosity sated.

    Summary

    “It’s this dress,” Yennefer admitted. “It fastens up the back with about a hundred miniature buttons. It’s, not strictly possible for one to remove it on one’s own.”

    Jaskier snorted. “Oh? Well, how would usually get it off?”

    “Usually I just,” she said, and motioned, trying to convey the general idea of I unfasten them all at once, with magic. “Whoosh.”

    His eyes widened as he grasped the problem. “Ahh, I see,” he said. “That does sound very awkward.”

    Temporarily bereft of her magic, Yennefer finds herself in a tricky position.

    Summary

    After birthing himself from a fresh grave lifetime-decades ago, Jaskier has played the bard across the continent. He is content because he is who he chooses to be: safely forgettable; a weed who makes music.

    … Until the witcher, and the child surprise. Until the war. If he runs from his birthright, he risks the lives of everyone whom he ever held dear. If he embraces it – he loses them anyway.

    Summary

    The old master firebender seemed to hate his own element. Sokka finds that attitude a bit refreshing actually.

    --
    It burns from the inside-out. A burden he never wanted. A curse of birth that can't be undone.
