    Summary

    “My mind is made up.” Jaskier said firmly. Then, because the conversation had taken a rather serious turn, added, “Besides, arranged marriages always make for such epic ballads.”
    “And when will you write those ballads once you’re the king’s consort?”
    “That I’m not worried about. Haven’t you heard, I’m famous? For all we know, King Radovid is a fan.”
    “If you say so.” his companion smiled. Jaskier refrained from mentioning exactly how he knew the King wouldn’t object to his music. “I’ll tell Yennefer to pen and send the proposal then?”
    “Do it.” Jaskier agreed. “And make sure she emphasises my wit and stunning good looks, would you? I want to make a good impression.”

    The war is over, Ciri has taken back Cintra and rules as queen, but things are still uncertain. To secure her rule and acknowledge her right to the throne she desperately needs a treaty with one of the northern kingdoms, and as tradition dictates, it can only be sealed by a marriage between the foreign king and a member of the Cintran nobility. Luckily one viscount turned bard is willing to volunteer himself to keep his niece’s kingdom from crumbling, and perhaps finally get closure on a love long lost in the process.

    Summary

    Flufftober 2025 Day 10: Set up by friends.

    The war is over. Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri and Jaskier are alive and well in Cintra, which Ciri has reclaimed. And yet, there is no end to the suffering of Albert, Radovid’s royal bard who has to play Jaskier’s songs to him over and over again. Why Jaskier keeps singing about the King as if he was the one that got away instead of just talking to him, or why the King keeps sighing as he stares out of the window, he has no idea.

    All he knows is he needs this to end.

    Summary

    “Quiet spies, I won’t tell you again.”
    “For the last godsforsaken time-“ Jaskier argued. Geralt growled at him again, but he ignored him, “shush, for the last time we are not spies. I told you, I’m-“
    “Jaskier.”

    ——————

    When Jaskier and Geralt are apprehended by northern soldiers and held under suspicion of being Nilfgaardian spies, help comes from an unlikely quarter.

    Summary

    They both knew this time was stolen. Stolen moments in stolen nights, hidden away from a world that slowly seemed to fall apart around them.
    In little more than an hour the sun would rise, and they’d have to part again. But right now, they were here, together, Radovid laying beneath him, alive and vulnerable and so beautiful it hurt, and Jaskier promised himself he would make the best of every moment they had.
