𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐌'𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐑𝐘 | ❝ Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance. ❞

     A quest to complete a bestiary leads Ruselm to force the infamous witcher Geralt, of Rivia, to accompany him during his travels after many instances where they run into one another. It takes some convincing, and perhaps a little of Geralt's own desire, for the Nazairian to accompany him. He pries the witcher day and night for information and runs headfirst into danger, either uncaring of the consequences or unknowing, in order to get what he needs for his book. The damn thing might just be the death of him one day.

Fate - A Geralt x Reader by AshleyScruggs6
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Fate, a funny thing, isn't it? How it attracts two people together. How events occur. Geralt meets a hunter in the woods, an unordinary person. (Y/N), fascinated by him decided to join him. Destiny has brought them together, though not all of it is for the better. Love stikes both of them, and the more time they spend together, the stronger their bond becomes, and together they'll face tough times. I do not take credit for the world, or main plot, as well as the characters involved. I only own the reader insert and the plot that brings her and Geralt together. All rights of that I don't own go the company that made the show and the writer of the novels. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoy making it! I will try to frequently update it and I'll keep pulling source material from the show, with a few things derived from the books and games.

"If we are to use you as bait to lure our possessed Witcher here to Kaer Morhen, do you understand what that entails?" Jaskier nods, but he remains quiet. A slight tremor works its way into his right hand, and Yennefer smirks at its appearance. The sorceress scoffs faintly, and she approaches him. There is something in her violet eyes, like a spark that proceeds the wildfire it causes as she comes close, her voice growing low and sharp. "He will hunt you," Yennefer whispers, as though she is reciting some sort of spell, bewitching as she is sardonic, "You cannot hide from him. You cannot outrun him. You cannot overpower him." Jaskier swallows, but he does not waiver. Not even as Yennefer begins to circle him. Despite the tears in her dress and the dirt that clings to her form, she remains as entrancing as ever. It's as though she's a fever dream Jaskier can only spot from the corners of his eyes. Her words come to Jaskier like a mirage, a silhouette muddled in fog. The only solid sensation coming from her being the race her words bring to his heart. "You will be at the Witcher's mercy." That should scare Jaskier. But it doesn't.

Life's One Blessing (The Witcher fanfic) by kzy3456
19 parts Complete Mature
Geralt passed through the inn's common room and heard another strange bard singing the first song Geralt had heard about the strange Cat witcher, and Geralt hurried out. "Fucking Cats." "Well, that's just rude. We've only just met," came a stranger's voice. Geralt swirled around and his retort died on his tongue when he caught a whiff of a familiar scent just as he saw the dark brown curls and a Cat medallion. With a growl, Geralt lifted the Cat by his leather armor and slammed him against the stable wall. "What have you done to Jaskier??!" The Cat hissed. His eyes went from the white hair to the golden eyes, and ended on the Wolf medal on Geralt's chest. "Geralt of Rivia." He relaxed in an almost insulting kind of way and lifted an eyebrow knowingly. "So that's how it is." Geralt growled. "You reek of him. It was you. The songs he wrote. Where is he?!" The Cat smirked. "Well, you didn't think you were the only witcher worthy of a song, did you?" Geralt growled. "Since when does a fucking Cat travel with a bard?" "Why not?" the Cat said, mock puzzled. "He's charming, and he was writing songs about me, making me sound so heroic. It's been nice to share the Path with someone. The Path, the ale... and the bedrolls." ... After the whole mess of the dragon hunt, Geralt of Rivia has lost a lover, gained a daughter, and now his bard was singing songs about another witcher. Wait, what? *His* bard? Where had that come from?? -- This fanfic is set in The Witcher Netflix TV series, after episode 6 of season 1. It ignores season two almost completely and sets Geralt on a merry chase to self-discovery and his nemesis: talking about his feelings. Warnings: the story contains rude language, canon-typical monsters and violence, nudity, shameless ogling, mild-to-medium angst, and dysfunctional relationships.

Inkpot Gods ↠ The Witcher by ortussolis
7 parts Ongoing Mature
❝Will you hold my dirty fingers and kiss my alcohol-drenched lips? Will you love my scars and scratches and my disgusting skin? Will you love my mind filled with anxiety and woe? Will you love a monster?❞ - Unknown Witchers were nothing more than the beasts that they slayed-a common opinion held by the majority of the public. A Witcher with the body of a woman was not immune to this belief, from others or from herself. Thalia's life was as normal as it could be considering her profession, navigating the world and slicing apart as many 'monsters' she met along the way. Until one fateful day where her traveling partner becomes tangled in a prophecy far larger than either of them, forced to take in a young girl and dragging Thalia along the way, her entire life changing in ways she never would have imagined. At least it would beat the repetitive life she had become accustomed to. [Eventual Jaskier x OC] Started: February 19th 2024 Finished: TBD
