📖 Fic rec time! When you get this, reply with three fics that you've read and loved to pieces, then pass on to at least five other people who read fics. Let’s appreciate fic writers and their amazing stories 💖

Oh ho!

Alright, I have so many favorites, but here are some from my bookmarks. (EDT: I apparently can't stop myself. This asked for 3, I did 5. I regret nothing.) All of these happen to be Geraskier:

The Inescapable March by @oxbridge-quality-fanfiction-co et al

I have a weakness for time loop fics, and this is a great one. Dark, moody, beautiful, satisfying. Can't say much more without giving it away.

The Beast of Oakhurst Pass by @yolki-palki

Love a good, grim, monstery horror story with high stakes? This one is for you. The characters are rich and complex, the setting is compelling, the story is basically flawless. So good.

spring, summer, spring by yogurtgun

Love the characterizations, the rich cultural details, the blazing hot and heart-breakingly romantic arc. Fuck. It's a goodun.

Proctor's non-series-series of Witcher fics, starting with Company.

I am consistently delighted and tickled by the way they write these characters. Hilarious, awkward, stupid, smartassy boys and their incredibly ridiculous sex. I love watching them go slowly from a casual fuck to the most sappy, romantic shit imaginable without ever becoming less absurd.

This is one of my comfort reads. I know pregnant Jaskier isn't for everyone, but this is the softest, warmest hug of a series that I could imagine, and I adore it.

My second piece for @oxbridge-quality-fanfiction-co ‘s breathtaking Story. It made me yearn, it made me ache, it ripped my heart straight out of my ribcage and i dont need it back. If youre into seemingly hopeless plots with Happy Endings, this is your story !!!

Do you know of any Geraskier or gen fics that are not very well known? I feel like I’ve read almost everything! Thanks! Love your work :)

This is a great request! There’s tons of terrific Geraskier fic on AO3, and that means there are some absolute gems which are not so well known. A few great fics I have bookmarked:

The Curse of the Fluff Castle and The Spring of Burning Forests by @oxbridge-quality-fanfiction-co, a humorous play on fluff tropes and an intriguing action fic respectively

do anything to feel your breath on my neck by @longing-and-heartache-and-lust, some quality smut by an author i only recently discovered and like very much

Ring True by RebrandedBard, fun little fic where jaskier is given a cursed ring

Good As Gold by @witcher-and-his-bard, an absolutely fantastic and very hot prostitute!jaskier WIP

Lovely by lutes_and_dandelions, the most wholesome, sweet horse girl!geralt fic

again, and again by siren_songs, canon-compliant netflix fic where everything happens the same but jaskier and geralt are banging the whole time, which makes it so much more painful. i absolutely adore this fic and it makes me feel kind of hopeful even though it’s sad

[herostag]

He had turned away, his back visible for some time amongst a colorful mix of strangers in a busy market. He hadn’t called after him when he could.

I got to work with the brilliant, wonderful, amazing and skilled mastermind behind this grand Story, Blaire @oxbridge-quality-fanfiction-co . I was immediately smitten with her work, an absolute Must Read if youre into horror, the dark and the disturbing, along with an incredible bit of love and affection.

[lovelyrita1967]

Priscilla appeared at the top of the stairs. Gone was her cute, floppy dress and goofy hat. She was in a tight black shift, four-inch heels, and bright red lipstick. She looked insanely hot, and abjectly miserable. 

She looked at the four men at the bottom of the stairs watching her with wide eyes. “How’s this?” she asked flatly, beginning to tromp down the stairs. 

“Uh...” Eskel started, a frown stretching across his face. 

“It’s not quite...” Geralt tried, scratching his head. 

“Okay. You need to stop,” Jaskier said loudly, holding up one hand at Priscilla. “Go put your leggings back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that.” He turned to survey the other three men with his hands on his hips. “Lambert, you go be the fake prostitute.”

Lambert blinked at him and then burst into a wide grin. “I’ve always wanted to be the fake prostitute!”

I will carry you home

Read on AO3 - Eskel comforts Jaskier after a bad day.

-

When Eskel gets home he finds the living room empty. He checks the kitchen and the garden before moving upstairs to the bedroom. It's 5pm and Jaskier is in bed, lying on his side, huddled under blankets. Eskel walks in silently and finds his darling awake, dark circles under his half-closed eyes. His gaze, unfocused, seems lost into empty space. It might be following some specks of dust invisible to Eskel’s eyes or looking back to some memories that keep Jaskier locked up in heartbreak.

"Hey," he whispers, kneeling by the bed and brushing Jaskier's hair out of his eyes. Jaskier squeezes his eyes shut and pushes his face into the pillow. "Bad brain day?" Eskel asks softly and Jaskier hums weakly in agreement.

"Okay. Can I join you?" he asks, and Jaskier nods. Eskel slips into bed and Jaskier settles against his chest, secure in his lover's arms. He takes in a deep, ragged breath and sighs as Eskel rubs circles between his shoulders.

When they first started dating and Jaskier found out about the things that were secretly weighing on Eskel’s mind, he'd have Eskel lie on the couch with his head in his lap, whispering how wonderful and beautiful he was until Eskel started to believe it.

"Remember what we said about bad brain days?" Eskel whispers. There’s a silence as Jaskier gathers the will and strength to answer.

"Brains are lying liars who lie. And total assholes." Eskel chuckles, his chest shaking under Jaskier's head.

"That's right," he says, threading his fingers with Jaskier's, rubbing his thumb on the back of his hand. “And what else?”

“This too shall pass,” Jaskier whispers and Eskel’s arm tightens around him. His heart swells as Eskel places a kiss on the top of his head. "I love you," Jaskier whispers, hiding his nose deeper into his lover’s neck.

"I love you too, my darling."

Jaskier sniffs, his shoulders relaxing in Eskel's arms.

"You smell like goats," he says and when Eskel laughs out loud, Jaskier's favourite sound booms against the bedroom walls.

Meet one of the wonderful authors participating in this year’s Geraskier Big Bang!

Twitter: BlaireSeton Tumblr: @oxbridge-quality-fanfiction-co​ AO3: Blaire_Seton

I've chosen this fic because it's similar in atmosphere and tone to my Big Bang entry but it's longer. It's likely that people who enjoy one, might also like the other. I write overdramatic Geraskier with some elaborate plotting, a lot of angst and (generally) happy endings. An extreme emotional rollercoaster is always my primary aim. I am also big on banter, humour, gore, sinister atmosphere and like to be a bit brutal before softening things up. I'm obsessed with psychology and like my relationships deep and complex. Here for the one, and only true love between Geralt and Jaskier <3

Divine Favors - Chapter 8: Table for Three

The next morning, Geralt woke first.  Nothing about this was unusual in any way.  Geralt always rose first; a habit that been instilled in him during his Witcher training at Kaer Morhen.  He was on his back, and Jaskier was on his stomach, hands flung out so one was draped across Geralt’s chest.

Geralt could think of worse ways to wake up; much worse ways.  He was thinking to himself he could get used to waking up this way when the sound of paper sliding under the door snapped his attention to the other side of the room.

Geralt slid gently out from underneath Jaskier’s embrace and padded softly over to the door and the envelope that was laying on the ground.  Having been burned before (literally) he knelt down to see if his medallion reacted to it.  It did not.  He picked up the envelope, smelling a faint hint of spice (cinnamon and…nutmeg?).  He turned the envelope over, and saw it was addressed to ‘The Distinguished Witcher and Illustrious Bard’.

Geralt frowned, humming.

“What’s that, love?” Jaskier asked, sleep catching his voice.  Geralt turned, a smile making a corner of his lips twitch. Jaskier had turned over, and was sitting up. Geralt tossed it to him on the bed.

“Dunno. Didn’t open it.”  Geralt sat on the edge of the bed, and watched Jaskier frown in concentration at the front of the envelope. “What?” Geralt asked, looking at his bard’s frown.

“I know this handwriting.”

Geralt’s eyebrows shot up. “Should I be concerned?” he asked with a smirk. Jaskier’s eyes looked up quickly to meet Geralt’s eyes, and Jaskier smiled.

“What?  Oh, no.  This is Freya’s handwriting.”

“The Goddess of Fertility?”

“She’s also the Goddess of Beauty.”

“Of course she is.” Geralt rolled his eyes. “Well then, what’s it say?”

“We are invited to a party.  Here in Novigrad.  Tonight.”

“We.  Received an invitation.  To a party.  Hosted by a Goddess.”
