Chapter Text
Down in the ocean deep,
Where the water’s cool and sweet,
There lived a little lobster, With claws so strong and neat.
He scurried ‘round the rocks,
And played with his lobster friends,
But one day he felt something strange,
As the water began to get hot again.
Oh me, oh my, the lobster cried,
The water’s getting hotter,
And I fear I won’t survive.
He looked up to the sky,
And wondered what was wrong,
Was it something he had done,
That made the water feel so warm?
But then he saw the smoke,
And the boats up on the surface,
And knew that they were the cause,
Of this environmental circus.
Oh me, oh my, the lobster cried,
The water’s getting hotter,
And I fear I won’t survive.
He called out to his friends,
And said we must take a stand,
We need to tell the humans,
That they’re ruining our land.
They swam up to the boats,
And waved their claws up high,
And the humans looked down in wonder,
At these lobsters passing by.
Oh me, oh my, the lobster cried,
The water’s getting hotter,
But we’ll fight until we survive.
The humans finally listened,
And agreed to make a change,
They cleaned up their act,
And promised to not be so strange.
The water started cooling,
And the lobsters felt relief,
And they knew that they had won,
A battle for their beliefs.
Oh me, oh my, the lobster cried,
The water’s finally cooling,
And we know we’ll survive.
Chapter 2: Love in Snow and Song
Summary:
"Love in Snow and Song" is a beautiful love song about a lark and a white wolf who found love in each other's company. The lark sang of love and life, and the wolf listened in awe as his heart began to swirl with emotion.
Notes:
This song can be found in Chapter 5 of With a Conquering Air, Geralt has just called Jaskier his "little lark".
Chapter Text
Here was a lark upon a branch,
That sang and sang and sang,
And there below the tree there sat,
A wolf as white as snow.
The lark sang of love and life,
Of beauty in the world,
The wolf listened and watched in awe,
As his heart began to swirl.
Oh lark, my love, my heart beats for thee,
As pure and true as the snow on me,
And wolf, my dear, my soulmate, my all,
Together forever, we'll answer love's call.
As the days went by, the lark and wolf,
Became friends and so much more,
They shared their hopes and dreams in life,
Their love began to soar.
Oh lark, my love, my heart beats for thee,
As pure and true as the snow on me,
And wolf, my dear, my soulmate, my all,
Together forever, we'll answer love's call.
The lark and wolf roamed the land,
Exploring all its beauty and wonder,
They knew their love was meant to be,
Their hearts beating as one, like thunder.
Oh lark, my love, my heart beats for thee,
As pure and true as the snow on me,
And wolf, my dear, my soulmate, my all,
Together forever, we'll answer love's call.
The lark and wolf, hand in paw,
Together in love forevermore,
Their song of love echoing,
Throughout the land, forevermore.
Chapter 3: Moonlit Hair
Summary:
"Moonlit Hair" is a beautiful love song that describes a lover as fierce and gentle, with golden eyes that blaze like fire and hair as white as the moon. The song talks about the different seasons of love and how the couple will weather any storm together. The chorus repeats the phrase "my lover is beyond compare" and describes him as both fierce like winter and gentle like summer. The song concludes by reiterating the unique and incomparable qualities of the lover, with golden eyes and moonlit hair.
Notes:
This Song is from Chapter 6 of With a Conquering Air, when Jaskier has finally released his love for Geralt and is trying to get the tune out of his head (spoiler alert: he ends up humming the song all the way until dinner) So this is only a short one and isn't as long :)
Chapter Text
My love is like the winter snow,
Fierce and wild with a fiery glow,
His golden eyes a blazing fire,
Moonlit hair, my heart's desire.
In his embrace, I am complete,
His touch sets my soul alight with heat,
His love, like a warm summer's day,
Calms the storm in every way.
My lover is beyond compare,
With golden eyes and moonlit hair,
As fierce as winter in his wrath,
A gentle summer in the bath.
Through every season of our love,
We'll soar on wings like a dove,
Together, we'll weather every storm,
Our love an unbreakable form.
With golden eyes and moonlit hair,
My love, you are beyond compare,
A fierce and gentle soul, my heart,
Together we'll never be apart.

This Song is another one from Chapter 6 of With a Conquering Air when Jaskier has finally released his love for Geralt. This is once again only a short one:)

This Song is from Chapter 2 of Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well when Yen has just put the fear of
Melitele, into Count Lettenhove, after he turned up in Kaer Morhen. He's finally feeling like part of the family.
Chapter Text
Oh, listen now and hear my tale
Of a pack of wolves that shall prevail
Led by the White Wolf, fierce and bold
With mighty jaws and hearts of gold
Behind him run his loyal kin
Bold and fierce, a fearsome din
With teeth that gleam in the moon's pale light
They howl and hunt throughout the night
At his right hand runs a wolf so fair
As black as night, with eyes that glare
And at his left a witch doth run
Her eyes like lilac’s, a fearsome one
Upon his shoulder runs a wolf so wise
A druid's equal in wolfish guise
And soaring high above them all
A lark doth sing the White Wolf's call
So heed my words and mark them well
This pack of wolves shall never fell
For with the White Wolf at their head
They'll run and hunt until they're dead
Chapter 6: The Bold Witcher
Summary:
This Song is from Chapter 2 of Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well when Lambert says he didn't stab any noblemen, Jaskier makes it up on the fly but obviously he would've made it into a short song for Lambert.
Chapter Text
There was a Witcher well-behaved
Whose tongue was sharp as any blade
His beard was shorn, his eyes were orange
His reputation daily made
Oh, the Witcher, oh so bold
His tales and deeds, forever told
With sword in hand and wit so keen
He's a force to be reckoned, so it seems
He walked the lands, both far and wide
Defying danger, with strength and pride
His foes would tremble at his sight
As he fought with all his might
Chapter 7: Ciri’s Geese
Summary:
This Song is from Chapter 2 of Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well, after Jaskier makes up a song for Lambert, Ciri demands a song about her and her geese and Jaskier obviously complies with the little princess
Chapter Text
Oh, have you heard the tale of Ciri
A young witcher, as quick as can be
With geese as her allies, she'd make them honk
And cause a ruckus, with every bonk
Ciri, Ciri, a witcher so sly
With her geese tricks, she'd make foes cry
Her wit and cunning, a force to be reckoned
Ciri the Witcher, forever destined
Through fields and forests, she'd make her way
Her geese by her side, ready to play
She'd whistle and call, they'd come in a flock
Her enemies stunned, their plans all blocked
Ciri, Ciri, a witcher so sly
With her geese tricks, she'd make foes cry
Her wit and cunning, a force to be reckoned
Ciri the Witcher, forever destined
And so the legend of Ciri lives on
With her geese by her side, she's never gone
A fearless witcher, with tricks up her sleeve
Ciri the Brave, always ready to achieve.
Chapter 8: Wolf’s Heart
Summary:
This Song is from Chapter 2 of Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well, after both Jask and Geralt have finally admitted their love for each other.
Chapter Text
There was a wolf whose heart was held
Beneath a songbird's wings
He sang a melody so sweet
That made his heart take flight and sing
Oh, their love was a tale so rare
A wolf and a bird, so different and fair
Yet their hearts beat as one, forever entwined
Their love like a flame, eternally divine
Though they were from different worlds
Their love was pure and true
The wolf and the songbird, forever bound
Together, as their love grew
Oh, their love was a tale so rare
A wolf and a bird, so different and fair
Yet their hearts beat as one, forever entwined
Their love like a flame, eternally divine
And so their love story lives on
A wolf and a bird, forever gone
But their love still echoes in the night
A love so pure, it's always in sight.
Chapter 9: Right Hand Wolf
Summary:
This Song is from Chapter 3 of Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well, Jaskier is contemplating who he'd be with other than Geralt.
Chapter Text
The White Wolf's shadow is as dark as night
His eyes like embers glowing bright
A fearsome sight, so bold and strong
A hero to all, his legend long
And at the White Wolf's right, he stands
All truths and secrets knowing
With power that few can understand
Their bond forever growing
The White Wolf's path is never clear
But his shadow follows near
Through every danger, every foe
His shadow's knowledge helps him grow
And at the White Wolf's right, he stands
All truths and secrets knowing
With power that few can understand
Their bond forever growing
The White Wolf's shadow sees it all
The secrets kept and the lies that fall
He guides his master through the night
A force to be reckoned with, so bright
And at the White Wolf's right, he stands
All truths and secrets knowing
With power that few can understand
Their bond forever growing
Their bond unbreakable, forever strong
The White Wolf and his shadow, never wrong
Together they'll face all that lies ahead
Their strength and courage, forever fed
And at the White Wolf's right, he stands
All truths and secrets knowing
With power that few can understand
Their bond forever growing
So heed their tale, oh ye who hear
Of the White Wolf and his shadow, ever near
For through their bond, they'll never fall
And they'll stand together, through it all.
Chapter 10: The Maiden’s Question
Summary:
This Song is from Chapter 4 of Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well, not to mince my words Geralt is on his knees for Jaskier, and he gets a bit carried away in his composing.
Chapter Text
Oh wolf, said the maiden, your eyes they do gleam
Your teeth are so sharp and your claws are so keen
Have you come to devour me, am I your prey
Or will you claim me and bear me away?
The Maiden's Question, so pure and fair
A question of love, beyond compare
Will the wolf choose to claim or to hunt
Oh Maiden's Question, let fate confront
The wolf looked at her, his eyes so bright
His heart stirred with an unknown delight
He knew in that moment, he'd make a choice
To claim her heart, and never let go his voice
The Maiden's Question, so pure and fair
A question of love, beyond compare
Will the wolf choose to claim or to hunt
Oh Maiden's Question, let fate confront
Love knows no boundaries, no rules to obey
It comes as it will, with no time to delay
The wolf and the maiden, destined to be
Together forever, wild and free
The Maiden's Question, so pure and fair
A question of love, beyond compare
Will the wolf choose to claim or to hunt
Oh Maiden's Question, let fate confront
And so the wolf claimed the maiden fair
Together they roamed, without a care
Their love like a flame, forever to burn
The Maiden's Question, their love's sweet return.
Chapter 11: Violet Eyed
Summary:
This Song is from Chapter 5 of Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well when Yen and Jas are deciding how to terrorise the noblewomen here to try and win Geralt's hand and Ciri comes to bother them as well.
Chapter Text
Violet eyes, a heart of stone
Never felt love, all alone
Until a cub came by her side
A love so pure, she can't hide
The sorceress with violet eyes
A love so strong, it can't be denied
Her heart now open, no longer alone
With her cub, love has shown
Oh sorceress with violet eyes
Love for her cub, no disguise
Her heart of stone now melts away
A mother's love, forever to stay.
Chapter 12: The Wolf and the Swan
Summary:
This Song is from Chapter 7 of Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well when Lambert is asking Milena to accompany him to the Library and Geralt is whispering the convo into Jaskiers ear.
Chapter Text
Down to the shores of a mountain lake
Came a wolf to quench his thirst
And on the crystal water saw a swan
As white as snow, beauty immersed
Her grace was like a ballet dancer
His strength was like a raging fire
They stood in silence, a fated encounter
Their eyes locked in an unspoken desire
Oh wolf and swan, so different, yet the same
Two hearts beating, love aflame
In a world of darkness, they found their light
Together forever, side by side
The wolf approached the swan with care
Afraid to scare her away
But the swan saw something special there
And to the wolf, she chose to stay
As time went on, their bond grew strong
Through trials and tribulations, they endured
Their love was like a beautiful song
A symphony, forever assured
Oh wolf and swan, so different, yet the same
Two hearts beating, love aflame
In a world of darkness, they found their light
Together forever, side by side
Their love was tested but never failed
A bond that could never be broken
Their passion, a story that prevailed
A love that was truly spoken
As the years went by, they aged with grace
Their love never faded, it only grew
And in each other's embrace
They found a world that was always new
Oh wolf and swan, so different, yet the same
Two hearts beating, love aflame
In a world of darkness, they found their light
Together forever, side by side
Their love story, a legend to be told
A bond that could never be sold
For the wolf and swan, their love was true
A love that lasted forever, just like they knew.

This Song is from Chapter 2 of Twirl Three Notes and Make a Star
Chapter Text
Amber eyes that pierce the night
A howl that echoes with might
Eskel the wolf witcher, a guardian of the land
A protector of the innocent, with sword in hand
Oh Eskel, with the wolf's eyes so bright
A warrior fierce, in the dark of the night
Your triumphs many, your battles won
A hero true, under the setting sun
From the mountains to the sea
Eskel roams, wild and free
A wolf in heart, a witcher by trade
Fighting for the light, in a world that's often shade
Oh Eskel, with the wolf's eyes so bright
A warrior fierce, in the dark of the night
Your triumphs many, your battles won
A hero true, under the setting sun
Monsters cower at his name
For Eskel's power is untamed
A fierce defender, a champion of the weak
A wolf in his own right, with honour to keep
Oh Eskel, with the wolf's eyes so bright
A warrior fierce, in the dark of the night
Your triumphs many, your battles won
A hero true, under the setting sun
With his silver sword and his amber eyes
Eskel fights on, never compromising
In the face of danger, he stands tall
A true wolf witcher, with a heart of gold
Oh Eskel, with the wolf's eyes so bright
A warrior fierce, in the dark of the night
Your triumphs many, your battles won

It lit on the day you came into the world
It will not fade until the end of time

Guiding you through the trials and the pain
Through the darkness, it will remain

To sit on the throne and seal your place
The star will burn brighter than before
Guiding us to the end of the war
Cirilla's star, shines so bright
A guiding light, in the darkest night
Cirilla's star, leads the way
To a future bright, with a new day
And when it's all said and done
When the battle is over, and the war is won
The star will still be shining, forevermore
A symbol of hope, for all to adore
Cirilla's star, shines so bright
A guiding light, in the darkest night
Cirilla's star, leads the way

And when it comes to monsters, he'll get the job done.
Sharper than swords, Lambert's the man,
Fighting monsters with a plan,
He'll take on any beast that comes his way,
And always come out on top at the end of the day.
He's got a wit as sharp as his blade,
And when he speaks, he's not afraid,
To speak his mind and call it as he sees it,
But his loyalty to his friends, he'll never quit.

And come out the other side, still fighting above,
His past may haunt him, but he's not one to dwell,
He'll keep on moving forward, fighting tooth and nail.

Aubry is the most adorable witcher ever and I love him so much. I enjoyed writing this one so much.

Silent as the snow that falls on the ground
Aubry moves without a sound
With eyes like a wolf and a heart so true
He's a quiet wolf, but he'll protect you
Quiet wolf, so steady and strong
He'll stand by your side all night long
With a heart of gold and a gentle touch

In battle, he's fierce and unrelenting
But in love, he's tender and so caring

Look for Aubry, he won't steer you wrong
A quiet wolf, but oh so much more
