Ha, thanks to everyone who’s expressed interest in this story.
I always do this to myself, I’ve got to drive 300 miles before lunch today and I don’t have time to proofread, and really it’s only half of the fic, there’s got to be a back half to it.
(I’m still deciding whose POV to write it from. The first half is all Jaskier, should I continue that way or do it from Geralt’s? Maximum narrator unreliability, is what I want.)
But I figured out a title, such as it is, and a summary, so I guess I’ll post the first little chunk before I disappear. There’s no juicy part yet, that’s chapter 2, but we’ll get an establishing premise and we can see if anyone really wants to read this after all. I’ll have chapter 2 up once I get online again, which will probably be tonight but no guarantees.
Currently, gen, and currently, rated T for canon-typical violence and body horror (mild, compared to the show!), but ratings are subject to change in subsequent updates and actually the violence isn’t until chapter 2. Ah, the pullquote I used for a summary isn’t until chapter 2 either. Dang it, I should just post the first two chapters. Well, I don’t have time, so consider this a teaser and I’ll make a new post when I can update.

So, thank you! :)
I get that Jaskier is traditionally the unreliable one since he's busy crafting ballads and all, but I think in this particular case, Geralt having a high fever would probably suit my purpose ideally, and it's going swimmingly.
