Summary
"This is a very simple experiment, bard." Cold blue eyes met Jaskier's. "The Witcher over there? He's dying. There's only one thing that can save him at this point."
Jaskier glanced towards Geralt apprehensively; his head lolled back. If he was conscious, he gave no sign of it.
"I want you to bond him."
Jaskier jerked, staring at the man in horror. "No."
Soul-bonding was intimate, a moment reserved in private between two people who had decided to share every joy and every sorrow. They would feel each other's pain, know if the other was on the brink of death. It was a bond that could only be forged with good intention, with the purest motive. There was no way to undo it. Bonding Geralt would mean surrendering half his soul to the Witcher, to experiencing every pain, and every woe. But worse than that. Witchers didn't have souls. Jaskier would be throwing away the greatest connection he could ever experience, for a man who would never be able to return it. Jaskier was romantic enough to admit that he wanted a romance of the ages, and a bond of certainty.
Not this.
"Let me make this easier for you: bond him, or I'll kill you."

Summary
“Okay, we’ve tried making peace with him, the amulet, incense, salt bath. What else breaks a curse?” Buck says, mostly talking to himself as he paces around. “Come on, think, think, think. Oh, oh, there is the classic. True love’s kiss.”
“I told you I’m not kissing you until the boils go away,” Tommy says, yawning.
And suddenly, this whole thing stops being funny.
First off, it’s…bold to think that he’s Buck’s true love. Especially when he won’t kiss him because of some boils on his face. Mind you, Buck could have thousand more boils on his face and Tommy would still be the uglier one.
Whatever. Eddie breaths. Unclenches his fists. It’s fine. They’re dating. They’re dating and it’s totally, completely, fine.

Summary
“Why do you wear that collar?” the witcher asks.
Jaskier startles. He’s been fiddling with it, he realises, a nervous habit. He didn’t think the witcher had noticed, even though those golden eyes seem to spot most things.
“It’s so people know what I am,” he says.
“And what are you?” the witcher says. His tone has turned surprisingly gentle. Perhaps he can hear the misery in Jaskier’s voice.
“Bound in service,” Jaskier explains. He tries on a smile. “It might not look like it, but I’m as much of a prisoner as you are.”
Jaskier didn’t exactly plan to escape from his master alongside a terrifying witcher. But it might turn out to be one of his better decisions.

Summary
When Geralt snarls those fateful words at Jaskier’s face, the bard decides to go back home. If that ungrateful stupid twice-grassed witcher cannot see the blessing of his presence, he will move on.
When twice chaos-touched Eskel decides to help Geralt out of Kaedwen, it doesn't think he would start an empire of witchers and become a Warlord. There is no way to get out of this.
When twice reborn Jaskier meets the convoy of witchers from the North, he realizes that he can't stop his heart for doing what it wants. Geralt doesn't think he wouldn't get a chance to apologize and now he has to watch Eskel fall in love with someone else…
Thankfully those twice blessed idiots are getting all the help they need to see what is in front of them.

Summary
See, Nilfgaard has a problem: How much territory it can eat up in the North depends on the Warlord refraining from throwing his whole weight into the defence of every single gods-bedamned city all the way up to Cintra, and unfortunately, the only way to get him to listen to Emhyr var Emreis, the White Flame himself who will not be denied victory, is by coercion.
One could think the entire continent learned their lesson about kidnapping the Consort of the White Wolf the first time.
