Geraskier - HARD ANGST - inspired by a scene from Ladyhawke -anyone can to use it
This prompt is set sometime after everything that happens in Kaer Morhen. Jaskier is still injured from the torture, as he was dragged away with everything and didn't have time to heal. Add to that, the injuries from the battle with Violet Meir. Geralt is unaware of any of Jaskier's injuries. Jaskier, Ciri and Geralt were in a city and saw Nilfgardian soldiers. They quickly leave the city, without suitable clothes for the cold, even though Jaskier says they can distract the soldiers, to get appropriate clothes, but Geralt, nervous and afraid to protect Ciri, ignores it and the three leave the city as they are. . They follow the path, which at this point is cold and snowing because it is winter. Jaskier tries not to complain about anything, as he sees that Geralt is very nervous about it all. Geralt tries to go through increasingly difficult paths and when they find a frozen lake, Jaskier sees Ciri with fear, and with pity and seeing that it is risky to go through the thin ice, he warns Geralt that perhaps it is better to go through a safer path, as there is no view of the Nilfgardians and they can rest assured and choose a better path. Geralt just ignores Jaskier and even against the bard's wishes, the three continue over the frozen lake. A creature emerges from the ice, something that Geralt has never seen, and even though the witcher emerges victorious, and does not know the monster's anatomy, the sticky tongue ends up stuck in the witcher's leg, when he drags him, Geralt, distracted, ends up hitting his head on the ice. and fainting. Ciri and Jaskier try to free the witcher, but the monster starts to slide into a hole into the lake, and the bard sees that he can't do much and with the witcher's legs already submerged, Jaskier takes Geralt's sword and jumps. into the hole to cut out the creature's tongue. The bard manages to free him, but is injured in the process. Jaskier, exhausted, uses his cloak, the only thicker clothing against the cold, to carefully pull Geralt under the ice and out of the lake, in a safe place. He does so, warms him with a fire (even though he's afraid of fire), and takes care of Geralt and calms Ciri while he's still passed out. Jaskier suffers from the cold, from being wet in the cold, from wounds old and new, from leaving his cloak warming the witcher and from the exhaustion of pulling him all the way there. When Geralt wakes up, he asks about what happened and Jaskier explains without mentioning details like Jaskier getting hurt or him going into the lake. Ciri is sleeping, so she doesn't intervene in the explanation. But the bard is soon surprised when Geralt asks where his sword is. Geralt's sword is the one with Renfri's broxe and the witcher is that is an important factor as you know and Jaskier doesn't know. But Jaskier says he lost her in the lake. Geralt pushes Jaskier against a tree, saying that he has no idea how important the sword is to him and what it means. He ends up putting even more pressure on Jaskier's injuries. Ciri wakes up and she separates them, but they both refuse to talk about what happened. All of this causes the two to stay apart for the rest of the trip, with Geralt ignoring Jaskier until they arrive in another city. Jaskier falls ill and only then, after taking off the bard's wet and blood-stained clothes, does Geralt know the whole truth. About Jaskier's mental state: he's been feeling so bad about everything and with such low self-esteem since the mountain, that he ends up believing he's rubbish who has lost something of immeasurable value from the witcher, falling into a descent into self-hatred, to the point thinking that it only gets in the way and has no value.
