The Witcher Headcanon (Modern AU) - Sibling Vibes
Yennefer and Jaskier's early relationship worried Geralt at first. It had caused a certain level of tension that kept Geralt on edge, making him feel like something was coming. Something he would not at all be happy about. He was convinced that Jaskier, at some point, would make a move and try to f**k Yennefer. He had a certain reputation, after all. Geralt was left in a perpetual state of uncertainty.
Geralt knew that Jaskier had considered the idea when he first met her, but at the time he was mildly terrified of her so he elected to behave himself. He was very good at reading people, and it was obvious at the time that Yennefer was not going to put up with his nonsense.
But years later, well after they had figured each other out, he'd never tried to make a move on her. There was nothing but chaste forehead and cheek kisses, hugs, and cuddles, and Jaskier never put his hands on Yennefer in any kind of inappropriate way.
Geralt had been suspicious for a long time, watching Jaskier closely. He was uncomfortable with the way Jaskier seemed so casual about making jokes and calling Yen his 'wife'. He knew Jaskier knew that Yennefer was taken, but that had never stopped Jaskier before. Geralt had heard many of Jaskier's stories about past lovers. Many of them involved individuals in commited relationships.
Geralt wondered how he was still walking this mortal plane.
But Yennefer was different. Jaskier told Geralt one evening, as they sat drinking in Van Roach, that Yennefer was...just special. He loved her in a way that he had never loved a woman before. She made him feel seen, and like he was just an average, irritating brother. She didn't give two sh*ts that he was a Viscount, or a famous bard.
He couldn't really explain the feeling. It was complicated. He knew, without her even telling him, that even though she constantly reminded him of how much she abhorred him and wanted to vomit at the sight of him, that she didn't mean any of it, and that she would go to war for him. She would burn the world to the ground if anyone hurt him. Or if he asked it of her.
"She would b*tch about me the whole time, but she would do it without hesitation, and give no quarter. It's actually mildly unsettling, now that I think about it."
"I know it sounds stupid...but she's...she's the b*tchy, edgy, slightly unhinged-- probably demon possesed -- sister that I didn't know I was missing in my life. The thought of touching her like that... I could never! It feels wrong, and it makes me feel sick to my stomach."
"Geralt, you know how I am. A week or two and I would be chasing someone else's a**. I don't want that for her. I won't do that to her. I won't f**k either of you like that."
"What do you mean how would I-!" *offended gasp* "How dare you! I'm trying to have a heartfelt conversation with you, and you are making jokes!"
Yennefer had summed her thoughts up less poetically, and much more consicely.
"He's a f***ing aggravating, derpy a**, sing-songy manwh*re, who is so f***ing stupid I don't know how he's survived this long. But he's so babygirl I can't help but like him!"
"Oh please! He's not my type."
*eyeroll* "Big, beefy, oblivious, white-haired himbos with better tits than me and dummy thicc a**es."
"You f***ing heard me."
Geralt had been left feeling kind of silly for not trusting his own family. Every day that passed from then on was just more proof that what they had said was true.
Geralt realized that was what was special about Jaskier. Sure, he was a genious when it came to his craft, but he was also gifted at reading people and he naturally interacted with them in the way that balanced them; gave them what their heart needed the most.
Geralt thought about his own interactions with Jaskier. He knew he tended to brood, and be too serious. He kept things to himself and self-isolated. Jaskier balanced him out by bringing the humor, playfulness, and extroversion Geralt needed.
He could see that Jaskier was meeting a need in Yennefer that she probably didn't know she was ignoring. Something her heart needed. He was allowing her to have a little of the life she could have had if she had not been sold to Aretuza. She was experiencing life with a sibling.
There was a certain level of bellicosity to their interactions. It appeared as if they lived for confrontation, craved it, bickering just like siblings would. Neither of them could let an opportunity to make a comment go to waste. Geralt secretly kept a score card on who came up with the best insults. Jaskier was winning so far, but only because he was a bard, and words were his business.
There were pranks, and made up games, and hundreds of little things they did to each other to pester, annoy, and irritate. Most of them, if not all of them, were f***ing childish, which somehow made it even more amusing.
Their pranks on each other were just as childish and sometime impressively creative/sneaky. They were mostly harmless and didn't make too much of a mess, and the way they would scream when they got pranked was somehow satisfying.
Names were often called, but in an affectionate way. It was all in the tone of voice. There was a difference, Yennefer insisted, between "b**tard", and "b**stard" (affectionate), even though it sounded the exact same to Geralt.
And there were the times when they were so soft with each other. Just little quiet moments where they stopped pretending to hate each other and would be disgustingly cute or playful. They really were like a brother and sister.
The only thing that gave Geralt a headache about their relationship was how it could just randomly change. One moment they were close, loving siblings, then they were being brats to each other, taking immense joy in f***ing with each other, then they were threatening to disown each other, then Yennefer was jumping Geralt's a** for something he said to Jaskier, or both of them had ganged up on him and were being petty little a**holes becuase Geralt had p*ssed one of them off.
It was exhausting, and that was why Geralt called them the Chaotic Siblings. It was as if everyday they woke up and chose violence. But Geralt couldn't complaint too much. It was free entertainment after all!

At some point, when Nifflgaard first started attacking. Jaskier returned to Lettenhove to take up his proper title of Viscount.
Lettenhove was made a safe haven for all types of non-humans by Jaskier as one of his first actions as a ruler. When witchers arrive in Lettenhove, Jaskier always gives them a room in the Pankraz estate if they happen to be staying there.
It surprises every Witcher who spends the night that Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount of Lettenhove is also Jaskier the white wolf's bard.
One fateful day, Geralt and Ciri arrived in Lettenhove. As they entered the town, Geralt was taken aback to learn that Jaskier had become the Viscount. Jaskier, in his usual amiable manner, invited the two to stay at his home for as long as they needed. During their stay, Geralt and Jaskier had a heart-to-heart conversation about what happened on the mountain. Geralt expressed his regret over the harsh words he had said to Jaskier, and the bard accepted his apology. Jaskier also admitted that he sometimes got Geralt into trouble.
As the night progressed on and the wine flowed, Geralt and Jaskier shared a kiss. They gave in to their desire and spent the night together. In the morning, Geralt asked Jaskier to come with him and Ciri to Kear Morhen. Jaskier refused, expressing his desire to stay in Lettenhove and help his people.
Geralt was saddened by his bard's decision but realized this was Jaskier's true calling. Geralt and Ciri departed for their destination, leaving Jaskier behind.
However, a few towns over, they received alarming news. Nifflgaard had targeted Lettenhove and planned an attack.
Geralt tells Ciri to hide in their Tavern room and not come out until he returns. Geralt returns to Lettehove to get Jaskier.
When Geralt arrives Nifflgaard had already began there attacks. Geralt fears for the worse but finds Jaskier among the chaos. It takes some convincing but Geralt gets Jaskier to come with him and leave Lettenhove.
Geralt must now sneak Jaskier out of Lettenhove without being recognized by Nifflgaard.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 :D
Thank you for the ask
7?! (semi random) sentences from my wips:
It was four am in the morning. For the love of the Great Sun, was nothing sacred anymore.
The first kind was naïve and overambitious, with wishes that laid way behind the stars, of wealth and fame, strength and power.
It's been ages since Iorveth last entered Vizima's city walls. (This was literally the only sentence in the wip xD)
They [OC, I guess. But also ... kinda not xD ] waited in the stables outside the Pankraz mansion where they agreed to meet their client, a young noble son by the name of Julian Alfred.
He [Vernon Roche] was already in his teens when his mother took in the orphan girl [Ves] into their family, yet he never failed to protect her and make her feel loved, so she grew up with him as a role model.
"hmmn... 't's good that you know the way. 'Thou u're a prick." ( Iorveth @ Vernon)
All he knew about amnesia was what he learned from Gwynbleidd and he never cared much about it since it never occurred to them as a topic.
I take no responsibility for spelling mistakes 😌

Hi! Sorry to keep sending you asks, and if I'm bothering you please let me know and I'll stop, but I am confused about something at the beginning of episode 6: is Jaskier's real name Julian Alfred Pankraz??? Why??? How did he get 'Jaskier' from 'Julian'?
that is a true mystery and there are many theories
jaskier is polish for its either dandelion or buttercup i think its buttercup ??? (dandelion is his name in the books/games) but he is supposedly a viscount
we say supposedly cause there are many theories
canonically he Says he's a viscount but there's no real proof besides that
there are speculations that he's a bastard child and doesn't have rights to the name but still uses it out of spite (thats my favorite) cause like why is he a bard if he's a viscount? it makes pretty much no sense. but yeah according to canon his real name is julian alfred pankratz, viscount de lettenhove

The Day the music Dies
Jaskier was buried in three different places when he died.
The Bard, whose music they adored, had a memorial in Oxenfurt where people gathered from all over the world to pay their respects to him. Upon visiting the gravestone, you would see it constantly covered in flowers. In addition, a poem about Jaskier had been written by the gravestone. Very few people know that only a lute is buried in the cemetery at the moment.
The second burial took place in Lettehove, but it was not Jaskier, the free-spirited Bard, who was buried there. No, it was for Julian Alfred Pankratz, the Viscount who never was. The Pankraz family uses the grave to cement the lie that they had to perfect their son for them to be good parents. Below the ground is an empty casket that is lying on the ground.
The third and final spot is by the coast. There is a place where the witcher Geralt spreads the ashes of the love of his life there. Jaskier had always been a great lover of the sea, and Geralt knew that the sea had always been his favourite place in the world. As Geralt could not bear seeing contracts for monsters that dared to desecrate Jaskier's grave, a funeral pyre was made in memory of him.
It is not a graveyard but a place where Geralt can sit alone and remember his beloved Jaskier, whose final resting place lies in the waters and under the wind.
The wind sings Jaskier's song to his ears for a certain amount of time if he becomes quiet enough to hear it.
