    Summary

    “He twirled between tables, voice rising and falling, glancing surreptitiously around for an escape route. There was a small door behind the dais and the main entrance through which the queen had entered—both manned by four guards. Jaskier mentally calculated the blows to his dignity if he just booked it through the main door mid-song."

    -or-
    Jaskier is an empath.

    Summary

    Jaskier doesn’t actually know how much time has passed since the black-cloaked Nilfgaardians grab him after a performance in a shitty tavern in the backcountry of northern Kaedwen. He’d assumed--foolishly, apparently--that he was far enough north that any Nilfgaardian soldiers would be few and far between, likely just scouts or even deserters. It would have been hard to actually get any further north--the little backwater town where he’d been singing was just a day from the mountains. Anymore travel, and he’d find himself skirting the Trail up to Kaer Morhen, the Warlord’s Keep, and, well. He’s brazen, but not that brazen.

    (or: a wandering bard bites off more than he can chew with the political ballads, accidentally makes friends with a princess in exile, and finds the Warlord of the North in his debt.)

    Summary

    When the air turns crisp and cold, and the leaves begin to turn shades of gold and orange and red at the roots, Jaskier starts heading north.

    (Or: six months after he leaves the White Wolf's court, Jaskier, once of Lettenhove, now of Kaer Morhen, comes home again.)

    Summary

    It was the life he had chosen for himself. Every step he took was so painful he would have screamed in agony if only he had a voice. But it was the life he had chosen for himself.
    In exchange of everything that had made him, he could roam the human world on his own two legs, to see all of its beauty and its horror.
    But being a mute bard was a heavy burden, so maybe following a witcher to the edge of the world and back could bring him both inspiration for life and his voice again?
    It’s not like he wasn’t allowed to try anyway.
