He always comes back to me, time and time again.

ALWAYS COME BACK

They may be a rambler, a gambler, always on the run, a wanted criminal, someone with a higher calling, or just not the type to spend time with you (which may be fine by you), yet somehow, they'll always find their way back to your door. And they'll, again and again, find themselves wanting you, for support, for healing, for feeling alive, for venting frustration and anger, for anything and everything at all.

You'll welcome them with open arms...and an open bed, because you want them, too.

[Ah yes, one of my favorite tropes. Chrissy is, obviously, the open door. Assumed CR is A+.]

[ As always, looking for a Geralt, but also OTA ]

[ Likely the one being returned to, but could, under the right circumstances, be either. ]

[Definitely the wanderer.]

It was funny how the world could be so vast yet not at all sometimes. It was stuck firmly in 'vast' for Jaskier right then, though. It had been more than a year since he'd seen Geralt. Which was altogether nothing, they'd gone longer without seeing each other before, but last summer it felt like he kept somehow just missing the Witcher. He'd come to a town and hear Geralt had been there a few moons back but manage to take the wrong road to run into him, or he'd hear news of a monster attack and the white wolf saving the day in a holding he had passed through weeks earlier.

It meant that Geralt was on his mind all year, and he spent most of winter thinking of him as well.

So, obviously, it was purely coincidence that had Jaskier up in Kaedwen as the spring thaw began. Well, the spring thaw began everywhere else. There was still snow on the ground in many parts of the northern kingdom and Jaskier was there for only a day before he was starting to regret the impulsive decision that had lead him north. He only went as far as where he'd parted ways with Geralt in past autumns - he had no idea where Geralt went from there, and only hoped this was a regular stop when he left the secret Witcher keep that he over-wintered in. Even with enough coin to rent an actual room, it was fucking freezing.

A fortnight, he'd give it, he decided. Past that he'd give it up and head back out on his own path across the continent, south again to where it was warm. Blessedly they'd been without entertainment in this place for long enough that he was able to barter evening music for room and board for at least a little while, and evenings spent playing to the small crowds was strangely peaceful.
