You'll Fit So Nicely (You'll Keep Me Intact) by HatlessHoneybee

Summary
A year out of the marines and Lambert still feels at odds with the world. Connections don't come easy and he spends most of his days alone or at work, even doing his best to avoid his family. After everything that he had seen and the people he had known, coming back to the slow pace of civilian life seems wrong.
Alone in the world, reeling from the aftermath of his family issues, Jaskier decided to pursue a masters degree after all these years. It will keep him busy and, most importantly, take him far away from Lettenhove. It's a fresh start away from all the people who looked at him with disgust and distain when they should have looked at him with love.
The two are connected through the mutual need of cheap rent and a relationship with one Geralt De Rivia. As his slightly annoying brother, Lambert is first in Geralt's thoughts when Jaskier, an old friend from college, offhandedly mentions needing accommodations near Oxenfurt University. The pair make a begrudging (on Lambert's end) deal to room together, which may be exactly what the pair needs.

Summary
Geralt is a god of death who really doesn't want to be worshipped by anyone.
Jaskier, of course, has other ideas.
~~~
“Geralt, forgive me, I…I should not have come here, shouldn’t have disturbed you. Please allow me to withdraw my prayer, no one needs to die,” Jaskier says shakily, and even though there is fear in the bard’s heart for his own life, largely there is regret and horror that he asked for Valdo’s death.
The demigod sighs softly, going down to one knee in front of the mortal, and very gently tilting Jaskier’s face to look up at him with a gloved finger under the bard’s chin. The witcher tries to make his stern countenance a gentler one and offers the man a small but sad smile as he murmurs in his gravelly baritone, “That’s not how this works, Jaskier. I can…set aside your request, as it were, but it doesn’t just go away. A prayer made must be answered.”

Summary
The pulse began in Toussaint.
Yennefer feels it first—an unnatural tremor in the soil, like a heartbeat buried beneath the vines. When a portal splits open in her private grove, bringing with it a dying elf and a bloodied warrior from another world, the signs are clear: something is bleeding through.
The rifts are opening. And what's coming through them isn't human.
Dyv was trained to hold the line against what destroyed her realm. Now she's stranded in this one with nothing but twin blades, a scarred past, and a promise to protect the world Ciri calls home.
As the cracks between worlds deepen, so do her ties to those fighting beside her—especially a quiet Witcher with kind eyes and a shadowed heart.
A canon-divergent Witcher fic about magic gone wrong, parallel realms, and a slow-burn romance with Eskel.
“She comes with blood in her teeth and flame in her soul,” the elf had said. And now, she was here.

Summary
Jaskier knows that he's being hunted. He knows, eventually, he will be captured. He knows too much about Geralt-- about Witchers in general-- to get caught without proper preparation. So he sets out, looking for Witchers to entrust with the things he values most. The things he can't let Nilfgaard get their hands on.
It's in his nature to play tricks, to steal. And stealing from the White Flame is fun. Until his mind slowly decends into madness.

Summary
He meets Eskel after it all.
He doesn't mean to. He charts no course down from the mountain, follows no path, seeks no signs. His only thought is away, away, away.
Eskel is good, and gentle, and kind. But Jaskier is too old for kindness.
"Why couldn't it have been you I met in Posada all those years ago?" Jaskier asks desperately, "Where were you twenty years ago? Where were you ten? Where were you when I was young and green and full of music? How dare you come to me now, when I am this."
oOo
Can be read as pairings or as gen. Inspired by The Last Unicorn. -

Summary

The mermen were confused at first, but they're all willing to share if the pretty human wants them all. -
