I love this, and I want to add-on to it.
Geralt fell in love with jackster because of his writings. Well, jackster knew that he could never become a Bard, as long as he was heir to the throne. That didn't stop him from indulging in the occasional poem or story or song. He wrote them down in journals, he hid, he wrote so many, he could probably fill a small library.Geralt had come to the ruins of the castle to slay a monster That had taken up residence. But during the battle, jackstar's rooms and his hidden writings revealed gerald had looked for any other way to break the curse.While doing so, he out of curiosity, if nothing else began to read, the journals found alongside the sleeping prince. And as he read more and more of the hidden man behind the facade lost to history and time, he couldn't help but fall in love with what he found. So when it became clear, the only way to wake jackstar up from his sleep was true love's kiss. Geralt couldn't help but be a little selfish and check if it was him before going off to find someone more suitable. And now he's stuck trying to explain why he felt the need to check at all.
As a baby, Prince Julian Pankratz of Lettenhove was cursed to prick his finger and fall into a death-like sleep on his eighteenth birthday.
Sure enough, when Julian turned eighteen, the next thing he knew, he was waking up in a ruined castle—with a white-haired man standing over him.
That’s how Julian learns he’s been asleep for five hundred years, his kingdom of Lettenhove no longer exists, and the white-haired man is a witcher named Geralt. With no throne to return to, Julian decides to embrace the future and pursue what he’s always wanted: the life of a bard. He even picks out a new name for himself—Jaskier.
Meanwhile, Geralt has mixed feelings about his new tagalong, a five-hundred-eighteen-year-old former prince turned bard. Mostly because he’s still coming to terms with the fact that he woke Jaskier up with a true love’s kiss… and has no idea how to tell him.
For future use :]
Witcher!Jaskiers, anyone?
I’d say something about artistic license and freedom of interpretation, but the reason I got some of these designs to abysmally wrong is actually because I’m Jared, 19. I’m absolutely mortified at my utter idiocy and general sciolism :)
Anyways, the fics are as follows:
All the World I’ve Seen Before Me Passing By by @brothebro - 💚💚💚
Death to the Details by loser bastard idiot man who cannot read (me)
Demand an Encore by @theaceace - with daryshkart’s awesome design bc it’s awesome
Juniper Berries by @wingedquill - i am so sorry but i absolutely did base his design’s colour scheme off of actual juniper berries and now i want to die
How Many Secrets Can You Keep? by @kaermorons - i spent probably far too long trying to decode the descriptions and was halfway done before i realised that it was also probably supposed to be daryshkart’s design and now i feel extra dumb.
You’re all awesome, thank you 💚
"x loves x more" SHUT UP!!!!!! they need to both be equally in love with each other or i DIE
Ok but this gives me an idea: what if the other wolves figured out something was up because all of a sudden one winter, Lambert just stops being able to sleep properly. and when they ask about it (both of genuine concern...and because a sleepless Lambert is a dangerous, and annoying one) he gets all evasive or refuses to give a straight answer.(Eventually after a winter or two of this they do some further investigating and find out about Aiden what happens from there is up to you)
"Fucking, move over, it's too hot!" Lambert grumbled and pushed Aiden away to his own bedroll. Even at night it was unbearably hot, the air heavy with humidity. For a long moment their camp was silent, then Aiden shuffled around and turned towards him. "Hey, Lambert," his voice sounded smaller than usual, "I can't sleep without you anymore." Lambert let out a sigh and turned his head. "Yeah.... Me neither." Their hands found each other, fingers intertwined, connected.
Mandatory reblog
If I ever see any of you in public, the code is “I like your shoelaces”
that way we know we’re from tumblr without revealing anything
I’m just going to say this to strangers until i find a tumblr person
For safe keeping
Various Warlord!Geralt stories with what I remember them by, which, generally, isn't a good summary of the fic.
Starting with the one that started it all, and the one with Jaskier's lovely song cycle: With a Conquering Air by inexplicifics.
The one where Jaskier is cursed not to speak/the one with cannibalism by nobles: The Fettered Lark by hoomhum.
The one I keep thinking is A/B/O but isn't, and has the Witcher's tending a herd of wisen: as long as the sun and the moon are above by pallidus.
The actual A/B/O fic with Courting: A Wedding to a Warlord by MessengerGabriel.
The one with lots of tributes present in the keep/Witcher Renfri!: raised by wolf and voices by CountessKlair.
The one where Geralt didn't mean to become a warlord but the person he left in charge thinks him warlord/sends tribute: Also Fettered Lark.
That one where Jaskier is the first tribute, but wagons full had come before him, mostly ending up stuffed in storage, including a lute: Do I have to be who I am? by persephonesprince
Saving this for later
I've been trying to find an old fic I read on A03 a while ago. it has Merlin be forced to take a truth serum made by guias and uther is the one who ordered it, but the catch is he doesn't confess his magic, he confesses his love for Arthur. any other truth serum fics are welcome tho!!
so i couldnt find the exact fic you were looking for, but i did manage to find a couple other truth serum fics. hopefully someone out there knows which fic you were looking for.
Tell Me A Lie by TheCourtSorcerer (@thecourtsorcerer)
"Did you steal anything from my plate?”
No, had been what he meant to say, of course not. Instead, though, when he opened his lips to let the lie slip out, he paled at what came out in its place.
“Yes, I always do, a sausage this time.”
His heart sunk.
He couldn’t lie.
Or
Merlin is slipped a truth potion, and really, he should have expected Arthur to find out.
~~~
and the cure is the stuff of fairytales!! ahhh
2. Mine by Lola_Rose_Robins (@lorienrobins)
Merlin was hit with a truth spell, which is how Uther ends up finding out about his...well, everything.
~~~
i know it's a curse instead of a serum, but this is the closest thing i could find with uther confronting him while under a truth inducing thingy
3. our lips are sealed by eat_crow
After being dosed with a truth potion? No, they're not.
“Who the fuck calls you Emrys?” Arthur asks, so clearly annoyed. “People of magic. Druids, mostly, but I’ve heard it from fae and leaders of the old religion. Jesus fucking Christ--” he dissolves into hysterical laughter, rocking as far forward as his bonds will allow. “What is in this shit?”

Always reblog the philosophical blind dog post
it's really weird having a first dog be blind and then getting a second who can see...like how was I supposed to be prepared for this.
this creature can perceive when I put the treats up on the high shelf. or when I hide stuff behind my back. I can't fool her!! she's always watching me and she shouldn't have this much knowledge!!!
I walk around at night and I shine my flash light directly into her eyes and I'll just be standing there staring at her weird blue orbs for like 5 seconds until I realize it's probably extremely annoying to her, because she has eyes!! I'll turn on the light in the room and she gruffs and grumbles like ?? oh right!! light wakes you up!! the fuck??
