Based on that Olivia Cook interview where she said she can’t distinguish between any of Rhaenyra’s son + Aegon forgetting Lucerys name, i have this theory that none of the Greens know all of their names:

Aegon only knows Jacaerys

Aemond only knows Lucerys

Alicent knows their names but has no idea which is which

Heleana forgets about their existence most of the time

Otto calls them Strong boy number 1 and Strong boy number 2

Criston refused point blank to ever learn their names

Daeron never even meet them and believe that Strong is their actual name. No one ever corrected him

None of them is even aware of Joffrey existence

The Thankful One - chp 2

The second chapter of The Thankful One is posted here on Ao3

1st chapter's link here

Summary:

Thank you were words witchers had learnt not to expect from humans. Their training at Kaer Morhen, from the studies of books to older witchers' anecdotes about the Path, had ensured it.

Of course, none of the humans mentioned - during training, in the bestiaries and history books, by the centuries of countless witchers that preceded - had been Jaskier.

And, of course, when Jaskier spoke the words for the first time, and meant them, Geralt wished he had never. Because having Jaskier's gratitude for saving his life over and over again... wasn't the satisfaction Geralt had believed it'd be, once.

It is said that the most blazing lights cast the darkest shadows around them, and Jaskier…

Jaskier intends to shine the brightest.

– Jaskier’s last term at the Academy is about to begin. Head full of music, dreams and ambitions, and fresh from his messy - but definite this time - break up with Valdo, he meets Geralt at a tavern, one evening.

The rest, as it turns out, is about to make history.

In master Ronan’s household, Jaskier is a born entertainer and Geralt is the newly-bought, grim-faced gladiator who just caught his eye. Usually, bards - and whatever else he’s asked to be - don’t bother with gladiators. They sleep a floor below them, spend their days training and most die in the arena.

No one should look like that at a party thrown in their honor, though.

–

Or Jaskier helps Geralt get his freedom back. They fall in love in the meantime.

It's a book/game Gerlion dynamic (but Jaskier's named Jaskier because that's how I knew him, reading the books), what if they met at Oxenfurt while the both of them studied there for a winter.

BtF - chp1 - Je m'voyais déjà

Je m'voyais déjà - interpreted by Charles Aznavour.

You can listen to the original song here (YT link)

Lyrics and personal translation under the cut

À dix-huit ans j'ai quitté ma province Bien décidé à empoigner la vie Le cœur léger et le bagage mince J'étais certain de conquérir Paris

At eighteen, I left the country behind,

Determined to seize life

With a light heart and a lighter baggage

Sure I’d conquer Paris / the city

Chez le tailleur le plus chic j'ai fait faire Ce complet bleu qu'était du dernier cri Les photos, les chansons et les orchestrations Ont eu raison de mes économies

In the most upscale tailor I had made

This blue ensemble that was the trendiest

Pictures, songs and orchestration

Got the better of my coin

Je m'voyais déjà en haut de l'affiche En dix fois plus gros que n'importe qui mon nom s'étalait Je m'voyais déjà adulé et riche Signant mes photos aux admirateurs qui se bousculaient

J'étais le plus grand des grands fantaisistes Faisant un succès si fort que les gens m'acclamaient debout Je m'voyais déjà cherchant dans ma liste Celle qui le soir pourrait par faveur se pendre à mon cou

I already saw myself in the spotlight

Ten times bigger than anyone else was my name spread out

I already saw myself idolized and wealthy

Signing autographs to the hustling crowd of admirers

I was the greatest of the great fantasists

So successful that people gave me standing ovations

I already saw myself pick up in my list

The one who by favor, at night, would hang at my arm

Mes traits ont vieilli, bien sûr, sous mon maquillage Mais la voix est là, le geste est précis et j'ai du ressort Mon cœur s'est aigri un peu en prenant de l'âge Mais j'ai des idées, j'connais mon métier et j'y crois encore

My features turned old, of course, under my makeup

But the voice is strong, the move swift and I have resources

My heart turned a tad sour as I aged

But I have ideas, I know my craft and I still believe

Rien que sous mes pieds de sentir la scène De voir devant moi un public assis, j'ai le cœur battant On m'a pas aidé, je n'ai pas eu de veine Mais au fond de moi, je suis sûr au moins que j'ai du talent

Merely feeling the stage under my feet

Seeing before me the sitting audience, my heart pounds

I never got any help, I never got any luck

But, deep down, at least I’m sure that I’m talented

Mon complet bleu, y a trente ans que j'le porte

Et mes chansons ne font rire que moi J'cours le cachet, je fais du porte à porte Pour subsister je fais n'importe quoi

My blue ensemble, I’ve been wearing it for thirty years

And my songs only make me laugh

I chase any work, I knock on every door

To survive I do anything

Je n'ai connu que des succès faciles Des trains de nuit et des filles à soldats Les minables cachets, les valises à porter Les p'tits meublés et les maigres repas

I’ve only known easy successes

Poor transportation and soldier’s girls

Little coin, no attendant,

Ratty rooms and meager meals

Je m'voyais déjà en photographie Au bras d'une star l'hiver dans la neige, l'été au soleil Je m'voyais déjà racontant ma vie L'air désabusé à des débutants friands de conseils

J'ouvrais calmement les soirs de première Mille télégrammes de ce Tout-Paris qui nous fait si peur Et mourant de trac devant ce parterre Entré sur la scène sous les ovations et les projecteurs

I already saw myself in picture

On the arm of a celebrity, winter in snow, summer under the sun

I already saw myself talking about my life

World-weary to newbies awaiting my tips

Calmly opening on premiere nights

A thousand telegrams from the whole Paris that’s so intimidating

And dying of nerves before this audience

Stepping on stage under the cheers and spotlight

J'ai tout essayé pourtant pour sortir du nombre J'ai chanté l'amour, j'ai fait du comique et de la fantaisie Si tout a raté pour moi, si je suis dans l'ombre

Ce n'est pas ma faute mais celle du public qui n'a rien compris

I tried everything to stand out of the crowd

I sang love, did comedy and fantasy

If everything failed for me, if I’m still in the shadows

It’s not me, it’s the public who understood nothing

On ne m'a jamais accordé ma chance D'autres ont réussi avec peu de voix et beaucoup d'argent Moi j'étais trop pur ou trop en avance Mais un jour viendra je leur montrerai que j'ai du talent

People never gave me my shot

Others succeeded with a poor voice and lots of money

Me, I was too pure, or too ahead of my time

But the day will come I’ll show them I do have talent

BtF - chp1 - J'ai peur

J'ai peur - interpreted by Damien Sargue (Romeo) in the 2001 Romeo and Juliet musical

You can listen to the original song here (Youtube link)

Lyrics and personal translation under the cut

Vous mes amis mes frères de sang,

Vous que j'aime depuis si longtemps Est-ce que comme moi sur vos épaules,

Vous sentez la mort qui vous frôle ?

You my friends, my brothers of blood

You whom I’ve loved since forever

Do you, like me, on your shoulders

Feel death brush past?

Vous qui riez de tout de rien,

Qui vous moquez bien de demain Moi Roméo qui vit debout,

Ce soir, amis, je vous l'avoue

You who laugh of everything and nothing

Who don’t care about tomorrow

I, Romeo, who stand on my feet

Tonight, friends, I confess to you

J'ai peur, j'ai peur Que nos ombres si légères,

Demain se changent en pierre Que les étoiles qui nous guident,

Un jour nous poussent au vide

I’m afraid, I’m afraid

That our oh so light shadows

Tomorrow turn into stones

That the stars guiding us

One day lead us to fall

J'ai peur, j'ai peur, j'ai peur, j'ai peur, j'ai peur Que demain tout s'arrête,

Que l'ennui s'installe dans nos têtes Que le vent du hasard

Se prenne dans nos guitares

I’m afraid (x5)

That tomorrow everything stops

That boredom takes hold of our minds

That hazard’s wind

Gets tangled in our guitars

Vous mes amis mes frères de goût,

Vous qui voulez goûter à tout Les fruits du cœur sont les plus tendres Mais ils se meurent quand vient décembre

You, my friends, my brothers of taste

You who want to taste everything

Heart’s fruits are the sweetest

But die when December comes

Vous qui avez de la jeunesse,

Tout le courage et la paresse Alors écoutez un de votre âge

Qui ce soir voit venir le naufrage

You who have youth,

All the heart and the indolence

Listen to a peer

Who, tonight, sees the disaster coming

J'ai peur, j'ai peur De la vie qui nous attend,

Des mensonges de nos parents Pour nous tout est facile

Mais le bonheur est fragile

I’m afraid, I’m afraid

Of the life that awaits us,

Of our parents’ lies

For us, all is easy

But happiness is vulnerable

J'ai peur, j'ai peur, j'ai peur, oh j'ai peur Que les dieux en colère

Se vengent sur nous mes frères D'aimer autant la vie

Mais sans leur dire merci

I’m afraid (x4)

That the wrathful gods

Retaliate upon us my brothers

For loving life so much

Without thanking them

J'ai peur, oh j'ai peur De la vie qui nous attend,

Des mensonges de nos parents J'ai peur, oh si peur, j'ai peur... j'ai peur Que les étoiles qui nous guident

Un jour nous poussent au vide J'ai peur, j'ai peur

I’m afraid, oh I’m afraid

Of life that awaits us

Of our parents’ lies

I’m afraid (x4)

That the stars guiding us

One day lead us to fall

I’m afraid, I’m afraid
