I felt like we all deserved the diversion of some slobberingly-incoherent morning-after sex.
chapter 15, Worth The Wait, which I know is a soppy title but listen I have seen so goddamned many stories in this fandom and specifically this pairing where the participants lament that because they’ve waited until the standard human in the pairing is so incredibly aged at the age of 41 that they’ve got practically no time left to fuck before he keels over of just being Too Wizened To Continue, and like, listen,
no.
“You’re impossible,” Jaskier said fondly. And then, possibly because he was drunk with pleasure and fondness, he said, “Thank you for not fucking me when I was a stupid kid.”
Geralt glanced up then, eyebrows quizzical. “Yeah?” he said. “I figured you were mad at me for wasting all that time.”
“No,” Jaskier said. “I mean, yeah, it would’ve been great to have all that sex, and I feel like I could’ve kept up with you better when I was young maybe, but I was absolutely trying to use you to hurt myself and it would’ve been a disaster and you don’t deserve to be treated like that. And then we couldn’t have had this. So, no, it wasn’t wasted time, and it was worth the wait.”
“I didn’t have to be quite such a cock about it,” Geralt mumbled into Jaskier’s neck.
“Well,” Jaskier said. “I could’ve done without some of that, to be sure, but. The overall point remains. At least you didn’t fuck me and then pull that shit.”
