I’m not done with the figure drawing exercises yet I’m afraid
we can’t use idiots to lovers when it comes to geraskier because it’s very bold of us to assume they stop being idiots after getting together
Headcannon: Vesemir becoming Jaskier's father figure and it melts the bard's heart.
Geralt and Jaskier are together and Geralt brings him to Kaer Morhen, to meet his brothers and Vesemir. The other Witchers are all charmed by Jaskier and become fond of him, thinking that he's good for Geralt.
Jaskier spends his evenings drinking and sharing stories with the brothers, but he spends his days talking to the oldest Witcher, Vesemir. Both of them don't have much to do while the others are busy training Ciri.
Jaskier finds that he really loves the company of the oldest Witcher and they have very interesting conversations. They talk about philosophy, politics, history, awkward childhood stories of the other Witchers. Vesemir tells Jaskier about magic and Jaskier tells him about Oxenfurt. Jaskier finds himself asking Vesemir for advice he never thought he needed before. Vesemir grows fond of the bard too, feeling happy that Geralt found him. During the three months of winter, the oldest Witcher becomes a father figure to Jaskier, more than his real father ever was.
The end of winter finally arrives. Saying goodbye at the gate of the keep, the Witchers exchange jokes and hugs. Vesemir hugs his sons and turns to say goodbye to the bard. Not wanting to look weird or too sentimental, Jaskier extends his hand with a smile. "It was a pleasure meeting you".
Vesemir gives him an odd look, before snorting and pulling Jaskier into a hug. He pats Jaskier on the back. "I'm glad I got to know you, son. Remember what we talked about. Take care of Geralt and kick his ass whenever he's being a little shite. See you next winter". Jaskier can't suppress his smile as he hugs the old Witcher back.
The other Witchers are standing a few feet away, watching the scene with wide eyes.
"Look, Vesemir adopted the bard" Eskel says with a smile.
"And I think he might be his favorite" Lambert mumbles.
"You won't have to hear about it now for the next year" Geralt mutters, but he's smiling, too.
here’s a commission of the witcher boys playing dnd for @threephasebird of their dnd au!!!! this was so so fun, thank you for commissioning!
society progressed past the need for human language, from now on we only use Jaskier reaction gifs
+ bonus
I’m totally a Jaskier lmao 😆
Same here!
Lambert: Geralt, I need you to travel to another country to help me avenge my boyfriend’s murder
Geralt, halfway through a quest to save Dandelion’s life (again): Look Lambert I love you and you’re valid but if I don’t go and do this long series of unnecessary bullshit we’ll have two dead boyfriends to avenge so give me, like, half an hour, okay?
a golden trope that was tragically overlooked with geraskier:
they’ve been travelling together for 22 years yeah? so like, imagine all the memories and inside jokes and finishing each other’s sentences.
“you know, geralt, it reminds me of that-”
“hmm and the novigrad doppler when-”
“oooh yes and remember when we rescued that princess and-”
“we escaped then though, no repeats.”
“come on, it’s fun! almost like that time in kovir because-”
“no, jaskier it’s-”
“come on but-”
“well maybe-”
“yess, let’s go!”
“hmm.”
and everyone else is standing there like what the fuck??? there wasn’t even one full sentence spoken.
Commission for @desultorymuse
Still need to doublecheck it on a better monitor. If it looks too dark to you guys let me know.
Scrolls idly past
Ooh new publicity shot, never saw that phot– wait. That’s not a photo.
this bitch more hd than real life holy hell
jaskier getting amnesia and nothing changes, like geralt doesn’t notice at fucking all, ‘cause the bard just sees this gorgeous hunk of a man beckoning him over with a crook of his finger, and informs him that it’s time to head out on the road and jaskier just doesn’t fuckin’ question it all,
like, holy shit, yes i will follow you to the ends of the world, the name’s jaskier big boy, what’s your story, just genuinely has no fuckin’ clue who geralt is but the man’s fucking husband-shaped, so who cares?
and geralt just rolls his eyes cause the bard is Being Weird again, but whatever, what else does he expect?
and they travel together with jaskier flirting outrageously with this tall, dark pale and handsome stranger, geralt enjoying the attention but having to resist showing it cause god forbid the bard knows he has feelings. jaskier still flirts with this apparent stranger, geralt still represses the feelings he has for his best friend, it’s a hot fuckin’ mess.
and jaskier asks the same things as before and geralt tells him he already knows the story behind his scars, the bard insists he doesn’t and the witcher thinks he’s just trying to squeeze extra detail out of him. geralt gets him his favourite drinks, his favourite foods, knows what the bard’s preferred flowers are and which bed/side of the tent he’d rather sleep in… and jaskier thinks he’s just magically intuitive and clever, and geralt is flustered and just says shit like…. yes, i know magic, because he’s fuckin’ ridiculous.
and of course it takes yennefer to figure shit out, like:
yennefer: your bard is broken
geralt: don’t be mean yen, he’s just a little weird :(
yennefer: no i mean he literally has amnesia, i need to fix him
geralt: ???
yennefer: yes, amnesia geralt.
geralt: !!!
yennefer: how did you not notice? though it is odd that he’s never questioned your in-depth knowledge of his character, he’s done nothing but hit on you this entire time, pester you for stories you’ve already informed him of and he literally said who the fuck is this strumpet when he met me mere minutes ago.
geralt: i honestly don’t understand why you thought i’d be able to tell that he’s different :( :(
