Summary
When two witchers show up in Oxenfurt summoning Jaskier home to Lettenhove immediately, he's confused but intrigued. For one thing, Lettenhove isn't "home" - the last time he saw it, and the rest of his family, was eighteen years ago. Why is he needed there so urgently? Why is his life suddenly teeming with witchers? What's the truth about his family? Why is he in danger? Is there even a decent tailor in Lettenhove? And will he recognise real love when he sees it?
Jaskier is sure he can stretch three days to four, meaning he’ll be able to attend the ceremony at which he’ll be officially declared a Master of the Seven Liberal Arts, then disgrace himself thoroughly at the all-night party afterwards. After that, he doesn’t much mind leaving Oxenfurt. He’s not the type to hang around once a party’s over, and after four years in the city, he’s ready for new things. New people, new sights, new adventures. New things to write songs about, and new audiences to sing them to. New loves, new beds, new pleasures. He’s already bought a horse and ordered a travelling wardrobe, and while he didn’t intend Lettenhove to be the first stop on the fascinating journey of the rest of his life, it might as well be.

The Marriage of True Minds by philomenat

Summary
Jaskier is cursed and absolutely certain that he and Geralt are married. Geralt both does and doesn't like it.
It’s happened before: Jaskier cursed by a past lover to experience for himself the ache of unrequited love. Once, memorably, for a donkey, who was impervious to all the bard’s serenades and compliments, and shat on his favourite pair of boots. The irony of today’s particular curse is that Jaskier’s ‘love’ isn’t actually unrequited. Presumably, though, Lady Freckletits and her sister thought it would be funny to see Jaskier scorned and rejected by the stoic, emotionless witcher he insists on following around.
Ha fucking ha.

Summary
Jaskier meets another bard who seems to be perfect for him in every way. Geralt doesn't like it.
“What surprises me,” Jaskier continued, “is that there’s a musician of such skill and I’ve never heard of him. He wasn’t at Oxenfurt, doesn’t compete in the tournaments and big festivals, has no reputation whatsoever. He knew all my songs but had none of his own to play. With talent like that – not to mention a face like that – he’d be a sensation. Melitele, Geralt, is this what envy feels like?”
I don’t know, Geralt thought. I’ve never been envious. Have I?

Summary
Geralt set the rag aside and picked up a small tin of ointment.
“There are only two kinds of time one can distinguish,” he said, opening the tin, scooping out some salve with two fingers. “The kind of time you want to hold onto, and the kind you want to leave behind.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Trapped in a snowbound cabin, the intimacy of a moment reshapes all the years Geralt and Jaskier have spent together. In the following days and weeks, they discover each other's fears, feelings, and longings on a long ride through beautiful landscapes and haunted towns.Bookmarked by philomenat

Summary
“Come on,” he says, lightly, poking at his chest for good measure. “I usually don’t leave my partners in such a sour mood after a round of sex, I might get offended.”

Summary
“Got you something,” Geralt manages after a while, digging into the saddle bag where he hid the gloves. He hands them to the bard, feeling oddly worried about his reaction.
“These are…” Jaskier trails off, as he turns them over, realizing it’s the same pair. “Geralt…”
“It’s still cold out. The merchant gave me a good deal, and you seemed to like them, so.”
Jaskier is quiet for so long that Geralt gets properly nervous.
“You don’t have to accept them. I just thought, with what you told me, that you might like them.”- Language:

Summary
Geralt is no fool. He knows friends don’t sleep this close. He is well aware of the distance that is usually kept when sharing a night fire. Instead of leaning into each other on cold nights, friends might instead offer their cloak or their gloves. Instead of a guiding hand along the back, or a touch to get attention, one can point, or even use words.
Geralt has done all of this of course, it’s not as if he always traveled alone.
Truthfully, though, he doesn’t mind pretending.or; Panda gets ideas and instead of sleep, they need to cuddle
