Snowflake Challenge

I'm going to try to do the Snowflake Challenge again this year, since it seems like a good way to get back into the swing of positing regularly.  Should be fun!

(I'm trying to post a fic today. Send me good energies if you can spare them lol)
  

Fic: The Garden Where All Beauties Be

Title: The Garden Where All Beauties Be
Fandom: The Witcher
Pairing/Characters: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier
Summary: Jaskier gets a noseful of pollen in a mage's tower.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium (11,193 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Title from Sir Phillip Sidney's Sonnet 82. I went with more traditional fantasy creatures for the references in this story because that's what's familiar to me — apologies if any of it actually contradicts Witcher canon. I have seen S3 this time, but the vibes are mainly S1 again.
Excerpt:
Jaskier wanted to tell Geralt he felt just fine. That his nose had been irritated at first but that seemed to be over with now and he was — it was fine. Not worth fussing over. All right, maybe worth fussing a little. Maybe worth holding on to him, just for a moment longer. Maybe —

The unfortunate truth, Jaskier slowly realized, was that he did not, in fact, feel fine. It started with a heat in the pit of his stomach and a burning along his skin. And it didn’t get better.
