Radskier snippet

Snippet for a fic that’s so far into the future I may as well share as its own thing until I decide to use it (if it ever happens). dedicated to @flootzavut as most Jask tit-centric chats are.

-----

“I missed this.”

“My tits?”

Radovid makes a thoughtful noise, rubs his cheek against the other man’s chest like a contented cat. Blame it on being spread over a beautifully bare (and somewhat sticky) bard.

“If I say yes, would you kindly pretend I said something suave, mayhaps even romantic? I’m afraid you’ve left me too spent for much else.”

He can feel Jaskier chuckle under his ear, which is somehow just as lovely as the rest of him. “You’re in luck. As it happens, I've always considered compliments to my cleavage a pivotal part of the whole romancing process.”

“Is that why you wear your shirts open halfway to your navel?”

Radovid tries to lean away so less of his weight is on the other man, but his hair gets caught on one of Jaskier’s necklaces. The bards’ deft fingers untangle it before he can try to do so himself. He tucks the traitorous strand back in place.

“And why should I deprive the continent of one of my many charms?” His hand moves from Radovid’s hair and to his jaw, stroking gently

“Oh, trust me, I felt many things the first time I saw you,” Radovid pauses, for both effect and to steal a kiss “- ‘deprived’ was not one of them.”

It might as well have happened in another lifetime, but that did not mean the former prince could forget the first time he’d set eyes on a man he’d so deeply admired and hoped to meet– only to find him only half dressed and in the process of having most of his worldly possessions thrown at him out of an irate lover’s flat.

After so long, Philippa’s insidious presence is almost easy to drown out by other, far more pleasant parts of these memories. The shock of catching a flying instrument before it brained him. Realizing what he was holding and who it belonged to. The most outstanding eyes he’d ever seen, turning to look into his. 

And of course, the bard's barely-covered—how had he put it?— charms. 

Jaskier eyebrows waggle. He seems to have a sixth sense for the carnal musings of others, particularly the ones where he was the lead. “Hmm, should we try for ‘depraved’?”

“I think you should try ‘dreadful'.” Radovid sighs, moving to lay next to him “Considering that was quite so.”

The waggle intensifies, somehow.

“I can’t help but notice a suspicious lack of denials coming from your end, my dear,” the bard purrs, leaning to face him.

“Remind me why I find you charming?” Radovid asks, trying not to blush.

“The decolletage is very persuasive.” Jaskier points, traces an entrancing path down his clavicle to the center of his chest with a finger, then flicking at Radovid’s nose when his eyes predictably follow the path.

“Among other things, yes,” he agrees, meeting Jaskier halfway when he leans to kiss the smile on his lips.

Notes and tags below the cut

I started counting my words written in March, so my figures from January and February are a rough calculation and I’m probably being too harsh on the final count.

I also had a really stressful few months during a team restructure, so I’ve not been great at keeping an accurate record the whole year, which I regret because it took a lot more time to pull this together because of that.

Read all this and have questions for me? Feel free to send me an ask.

Now I’ve bored you with all my stats, here's the deal for those I’ve tagged below.

Rules: Feel free to show whatever stats you have. Only want to show Ao3 stats? Rock on. Want to include some quantitative info instead of stats? Please do this. Want to change how yours is presented? Absolutely do that. Would rather eat glass than do this? Please don’t eat glass but don’t feel like you have to do this either.

Now for the tags: @dancingwiththefae @ptork66 @artaxlivs @mojowitchcraft @mimisempai @rins-love-wins @insert-witty-user-name-here @lgwilt @dewdropreader @starport-seven-five @cha-melodius @dreamycloud @waterhorseyblues-ao3 @chaos-monkeyy @mirilyawrites @inwantofamuse @dapandapod @dapperwerewolf @gleamingsilence @flootzavut @flordefandom @kell-be-belle @limerental @iwillbringyouruin @flawney @karolincki @jayofolympus @naumaxia-art @rauchendesgnu @pherryt @bravelittlenippa

WIP Wednesday

Jaskier x Radovid

Rating: general

"Your neck must be killing you. I've slept there enough times to know". He leans on the bedpost before adding, "I'd offer a massage, but you'd think I was planning to strangle you, so I won't even dare mention it out loud". Appropriately enough, Jaskier almost chokes on air, but by the time he looks at Radovid, he's averted his gaze. "Yeah," he manages, "better keep that to yourself". "So," the prince says pleasantly, "breakfast?"

Tagged by @loki-is-my-kink-awakening thanks!

do you have any other triad writer recs? there's so little content for hawkbeejpeg!

You know, I was just lamenting the other day how I felt like I arrived just a year or two shy of what looks like a punnihawk renaissance and it makes me INCREDIBLY sad. I wish there was more being produced for them nowadays.

I will be honest, I haven't read a TON of punnihawk thus far because I'm still really putting together exactly how I want my Peg to be for when my war-to-postwar verse evolves into punnihawk and I'm trying not to get super influenced by other writers until I'm confident in my portrayal of her.

justalittlegreen and onekisstotakewithme continue to be so much the fandom seminal blueprint for what makes a great punnihawk, and flootzavut has written some lovely stories for them that I reread ALL the time!!

Wishing you the best of luck in finding stories that you love and stick with you!!! Sorry I can't be of more help.

#i feel like everyone has already read everything that these three have created because they have been around the block already #but it is worth noting them just in case people have not #fic recs #my ramblings

season 3 of witcher netflix has me losing my mind like, I am still rolling around in my vilgefortz wankery. it's still 10k and messy and hilarious and sexy and so thinky. but oh my god i told @flootzavut about the post-3x06 yennskier idea that i didn't have the brain to write....and then i ended up starting to write it anyway. and now i need to be able to write two things at one time otherwise i might just disintegrate. could I be writing anything more different right now? lmao. Not sure how I'm gonna make it during August.

#kuwdora's witcher screaming #i almost feel like apologizing for how i am now actually Posting about witcher things and almost all i can talk about is vilgefortz #and not like any of the 9 geraskefer stories i have #or my yennskier wips #or my ciri wips #but aahhhhhhhhh #one might actually be mistaken that don't love jaskier as much as i do b/c i'm not posting nonstop about him #but my 80k of jaskier fic wips bring me much joy #i should have liveblogged writing my puppetskier story so y'all could have seen me contemplate jaskier's puppet cock for too long #and think about the ways he would interact with small children and his collegiate community as a middle aged hot mess #maybe next jaskier fic i will do that #but for now i'm solidly on vilgefortz #and the yennskier feeeeeeels holy fuck #yeahhh i just need to post more overall #writingdora

[flootdraws]

I've always found it fascinating that in That Unwanted Animal, Madeleine sings "can't you hear that scratching/I ask your eyes?" I also love how digital art means I can make new art and scribble writing all over something without losing the original art.

It's possible I'm being way too paranoid about upsetting anybody, but I'd hate for anyone to be upset, so I'd rather err on the side of caution

Hello! I am trying to find an old NCIS fic that I can't remember the name of or the author 😆 it's a Gibbs x Kate smutty fic where they both take the week off work and Abby calls it a 'sexcation'. At some point Kate says gunny but Gibbs mistakes it for Tony and gets a little jealous. Any guidance would be very appreciated!

Oh, hmmmmm...... That doesn't sound super familiar to me? It definitely isn't one of mine. Let's see, though... It may be familiar to @the-last-rat-standing, @minikate--24-05, or @flootzavut? Or even maybe @onekisstotakewithme? Anyone know of it??
