the more I learn about how much joey batey had to beg for an onscreen jaskier queer romance (...and then change everything that was originally written) the more I remember that post I never posted weeks ago 'cause:
why did it all came down to an actor to make sure the romance was being handled sensitively and respectfully???
wtf is going on in that writer's room?? and wtf did they originally write??
if the actor had to do rewrites and draft a 7000 word dissertation ripping apart the first few drafts?? yeah, there's something wrong in that writer's room

I've always love the idea of game Geralt x series Jaskier.
Here's an idea. While training, Ciri's powers went out of control sending Game!Geralt to the Series!The witcher universe. Game Geralt meets Jaskier and Geralt. The pair agree to help him get to Kaer Morhen, since when Ciri comes looking for him, she would look there first. Here's a soulmate story, a thread with two ends. Geralt doesn't want him, but someone else might.
"Are there ....soulmates...in your world?" They are sitting in front of a small bonfire where a boar leg is getting cooked. The sunset shimmer has blue and purple shades that rain on them. The Geralt from another universe (Jaskier calls him BeardGeralt and BeardGeralt likes it cause it sounds like bear, like a...pet name) tilts his head towards him, showing he has his entire attention.
"I don’t think so."
“Oh” BeardGeralt smiles, his handsome face lighting with barely concealed fondness that shows every time they talk in private. His Geralt, the real Geralt, is currently brushing off Roach trying to appear as if he's not listening to their conversation. "Disappointed, are you?" Jaskier snorts.
"No really. Actually I'm relieved my counterpart doesn't have one, it wouldn't be fair, to me I mean."
"Then you'll be glad to know he's goddamn miserable. Couldn't catch a single fly." Jaskier's face lights up like a child on their name day. "Egotistical and malicious. You share those with Dandelion" adds BeardGeralt without a trace of judgment or anger, only amusement.
"But more handsome" says Jaskier with a wink, BeardGeralt gives him an appreciative look, a slight smile hidden under his beard. Jaskier has been feeling this tension between them. Not entirely sexual per se but more, something mysterious that's calling them. He has always flirt with his Geralt but he has never responded, has never been interested, but It's not the same with BeardGeralt and it feels nice, to be wanted for once, for more than a quick fuck. He must also admit that it is nice to hold the interest of one Geralt, even if it's not his, his soulmate. It shows him in a way that destiny wasn't wrong with them, that Jaskier could have been wanted by his soulmate, at least in another universe. That they could have been happy together.
"He's happy. He's with Priscilla" BeardGeralt says calmly, looking at the fire briefly. Jaskier tries to remember if he has known a Priscilla, he hasn't.
“Bastard” Jaskier throws his arms in the air in melodramatic surrender. He's not upset, not really, he's glad his duplicate from this other universe in which soulmates don’t exist is happy, but that doesn't make him any less of a lucky bastard. After all his biggest competition has always been himself, this Dandelion is him, so, yeah it feels like a competition. One that Jaskier is losing.
Jaskier is so immersed in his own reasoning that he gets caught up when BeardGeralt asks in a cautious voice "Where's yours?"
"My what?"
“Soulmate” And that's the thing, isn't it? He has a soulmate and a mark on his forearm to prove it and that soulmate is, in fact, a few meters from them tending to his horse.
There must be something in his expression, a dull compliance that has woven, somehow, on his heart (and people says the eyes are the windows of the heart), because the other Geralt dawns on the fact that Geralt from this world is Jaskier's soulmate.
And suddenly his Geralt is there, in front of them whelling the leg above the fire "It's burning" he growls looking up and meeting BeardGeralt’s eyes. Cat-like eyes, they both have beautiful eyes, they're the same and so unique at the same time, apart from each other. His Geralt is younger, he has a soul of one who still hasn't found how to live with pain and self-hatred. BeardGeralt is older, the kind of good wine older, he has a soul of one who has learned to live with all of it, he’s wiser and is full of quiet regret.
The witchers are speaking with their eyes, two predators speaking the same language. They stop the staring contest after a few seconds. The other Geralt doesn't ask again and Jaskier is relieved. Later, when the moon is glowing in the sky and they're trying to sleep, Jaskier thinks of how warm BeardGeralt feels next to him, it's cold so they're sleeping close to each other and wonders what it would be to be loved by him.
I'm posting this here again with small changes
If you want to read more let me know
love u

modern day au where geralt uses his 5-year old daughter as an excuse to collect cute things, even tho he's been doing that for years
only ones who knows this are his family, ex-girlfriend and close friends
when he starts dating jaskier, he's actually nervous about jaskier finding this out bc jaskier only knows him as this tall, brooding goth scary-looking fucker
but jaskier is ecstatic when he finds out. especially when it turns out jaskier collects the same kind of cute things as well.

The amazing polymorphous experience
In the series verse, I like to think that Jaskier and Vespula are in a long terme stormy relationship. Technically she should be his fiancée.
But I like to connect that part to another in between the books and the series. The 'amazing' polymorphous experience Jaskier had 😏.
"The eternal flame" is the story where we originally meet Vespula. But this is also the story of Dudu the Doppler.
And there is a little thing that could link everything together : Dudu being the polymorphous Jaskier had sex with.
At the end of "The eternal flame", Jaskier propose to everyone (Dudu is in the group) to go to the brothel and they accept 😅.
Even Geralt is coming with pleasure 😏. I do not dare mention the possible combinations there !
And with that, this could be why his first thought for Seanchai was a Doppler and his reaction: "I am not not into this !" would be his recall of a certain amazing experience 😋
And why Vespula knows Jaskier had sex with a polymorphous. This is a past adventure she witnessed a part of, and knew the outcome at the brothel later 😅
