Fic Recs: Jaskier and the Kaer Morons
Y’all need to stop asking for fic recs because I have over four hundred AO3 bookmarks and no self-restraint.
Anway, @moongoddesskiana asked for fics with Jaskier and the Kaer Morons! The brilliant @penandinkprincess recced the first three, all of which are amazing. Then I attempted to filter through my bookmarks and found the rest! Some have more Jaskier and some have more Kaer Morons, but all have at least some of both. There’s a lot of variety, so hopefully everyone can find something they like!
Jaskier’s father disowns him and takes all his posessions, including his lute. When Geralt finds out, he won’t let it stand, and recruits the other witchers to help them steal the lute back.
Lambert and Eskel learn how nice it is to be cuddled by a bard. The whole series is absolutely wonderful.
Geralt invites Jaskier to Kaer Morhen for the winter. Lambert and Eskel decide to play matchmaker.
The two works in a wonderful series. Eskel joins Geralt and Jaskier on the path and manages to knock some sense into them.
Vesemir rescues Jaskier from a brief capture by Nilfgaard and takes him to Kaer Morhen, and Jaskier becomes part of a big witcher family.

After a difficult fight that required all of the wolves’ help, Geralt takes them back to where Jaskier is waiting. The other witchers are shocked at this human’s easy acceptance of them.
The various inhabitents of Kaer Morhen as seen through their cooking. The food sections are fascinating and the plot is sweet.
Lambert and Eskel adopt Jaskier after the mountain.

Eskel meets Jaskier after the mountain. Hilarious!
A series in which Jaskier meets Lambert and then Eskel.
Geralt is in love with Jaskier. In order to finally get him to admit his feelings, he devises a ten step plan with Lambert, Eskel and Vesemir.
Eskel falls in love with Jaskier at Kaer Morhen. Now he has to court him.
Jaskier starts traveling with Eskel after the mountain and they go to Kaer Morhen together. I usually avoid incomplete works, but this one is really good!
Jaskier is a retired witcher who changed his name. The other witchers don’t realize that this bard is the same person. Absolutely hilarious!
The Kaer Morons have an annual book club in which they read books about witchers. One year, they find a novel in which a witcher is the romantic lead. AKA: Jaskier is a romance novelist and Geralt finds out. I don’t think Jaskier actually meets the other witchers in this one, but it’s so hilarious I couldn’t not rec it!
Lambert doesn’t trust the human that Geralt has brought to the keep. Things escalate. This one is angsty!
Jaskier overhears a conversation he doesn’t think he’s supposed to. It’s not exactly what he’s expecting either.
The inhabitents of Kaer Morhen help Geralt develop a plan for courting Jaskier, which he then carries out. This one has more Geraskier than Kaer Morons but it’s so sweet and funny that I had to mention it!
Jaskier adopts the stray dog that’s been hanging around Kaer Morhen. Geralt absolutely isn’t jealous.
I’m also going to take this opportunity to shamelessly self-promote my own ficlet that I wrote because my love for this trope is uncontrollable!
In which Jaskier discovers that he has, quite by accident, acquired a family.
That’s it for now! Please feel free to chime in with your own fic recs – I’m always looking for more things to read! <3
Edit: I have other reclists I forgot to mention! They can be found here and here.
