    Summary

    Bilba has grown up the unwanted granddaughter of the Thain of the Kingdom of Shire but, as she rarely visits the palace, the relationship holds little meaning to her. Instead she focuses on her second year of college, her ballet career and her slowly burgeoning romance with Bofur, a crew member with her ballet company.

    The same day Bilba is set to preform on stage for the first time with her company, the kingdom of Shire is anticipating another event. That very evening will oversee the political, arranged marriage between Thorin Durin, Crown Prince of Erebor, and an unnamed Princess of Shire (so unnamed because Bilba's grandfather is a paranoid bastard).

    Bilba doesn't care about any of this, she hasn't been invited and has no interest in other countries, politics or other such machinations.

    Just before she's set to preform, however, Bilba suddenly finds herself dragged from the theater and taken to appear before her grandfather at the palace.

    There she is informed she WILL be participating in the wedding after all.

    As the bride.

    Whether she likes it or not.

    Summary

    It was a cat. 

    No, not a cat. A kitten. She was brown, damp, shivering, and had impossibly large and sad brown eyes. She looked at him and meowed, just hanging limply from his hands tucked under her front legs. A stray piece of straw was clinging to her head.

    “Oh, I’m a goner,” Jaskier said resignedly.

     

    Or,

     

    Jaskier and Ciri attempt to sneak a kitten into Kaer Morhen.

    Summary

    Unexpected side effect of Jaskier praising witchers far and wide: children making the logical jump that witchers can handle ALL monsters. Including such subspecies as the under-the-bed variety.

    And, well, what are you supposed to say to a child who asks you to fight a monster for them?

    (Note: Chapter 5 is the reason for the M rating. All other chapters are T for language.)

    Summary

    “Are you saying you’re the White Wolf’s lover?”

    Well. No. That’s not what Jaskier was saying.

    “I’m—” He sits up as the men move away from him. He rubs his wrists. He looks around.

    And, oh, god, they all look so scared.

    <><><>

    A musician caught up in unfounded accusations, Jaskier finds himself with only one way to escape-- claiming an intimate relationship with the famed outlaw, the White Wolf.

    With no one knowing the White Wolf's true identity, it's an easy role for Jaskier to slip into. When he meets the town's doctor, Geralt, though, it's hard to remember that he's supposed to be in love with someone else-- and it's even harder to find safety in the title of the White Wolf's Lover when there are those who seek the White Wolf's demise.

    Summary

    He moves at once to Ciri, kneeling and looking her over. Without context, he’s not sure what he’s looking for, but she seems sound.

    “Are you hurt?” He asks, cupping her face and examining her from head to toe. She looks afraid and tear tracks are still drying on her face, but he can’t pick up any scent of pain or blood. She shakes her head. He turns to Yen. “What happ-”

    He’s interrupted by a low whimper, and a breeze from an opened window carries a scent to him that he knows is Jaskier’s, but it’s wrong, somehow, sharper and more oceanic than he usually smells. He turns to the source.

    It’s a seal pup, cowering beneath the lower shelf of a storage wall.

    (after a potion accident, selkie!jaskier is de-aged) (this becomes a problem VERY QUICKLY)
