So I had some time to think tonight at work (in between operating heavy machinery, swearing at the materials, and trying to keep the line running, fun times!) And I asked myself, "self, hypothetically, what might @inexplicifics Accidental Warlord AU look like in another generation or two - once people really get used to witchers being The Good Guys (TM) and helping out?"

And I was like "well, they'd probably get invited to social events - ooh! Who'd like which events best?!? What would that look like?"

Geralt, as we all know, detests anything too formal or Warlord-focused. He enjoys weddings and receptions, but his TRUE favorite is baby christenings. Seriously. Put him in a room with a tiny baby and he's happy as a clam. He'll happily growl away (or weaponize his puppy-dog eyes against) grannies, aunties, and other family members to hold the baby for as long as possible. He's also 90% of the reason that witchers are now rumored to be able to bless babies.

When Mouse and Treyse bring this new rumor to the council, everyone has to just sit. And process for a minute. Because what the ever-loving fuck?!? (Jaskier immediately writes the sweetest lullaby ever, "A Witcher's Blessing", and it is the ONLY song that Geralt ever sings in public, and only ever to babies and small children. Multiple women blame this for their immediate conceptions.)

Jaskier adores weddings and festivals of all types, and if a happy couple includes details of how they met and/or fell in love with their wedding invitation, there's at least a 50% chance that he'll show up to the wedding with a personalized love song, holy shit.

Ciri loves tourneys. Loves watching them, loves displaying in them, loves sneaking into competing in them (omg, heir, NO), loves WINNING them. She's a menace. She has various stealth coats of arms that she rotates between when she's not supposed to be competing, but her favorite is the battle goose. Obviously.

Eskel doesn't like crowds or being the center of attention, which are almost inevitable with public invitations, but he does enjoy being the +1 for his family. Several of his and their interests overlap, and even where they don't, he likes to see them enjoying themselves.

Yennifer becomes well-known as an extremely efficient - albeit terrifying - treaty negotiator. She'll talk to both sides, get a list of their must haves, deal-breakers, would-likes, and don't-wants (as well as - perhaps more importantly - the reason why each of those are on that particular list). Then she draws up a draft and viciously negotiates a compromise. She is genuinely surprised the first time that both sides thank her for her help.

Vesemir, with all his long years of teaching, loves visiting schools and seeing any sort of student performance or sporting event. Kindergarten to university, drama to music to dance recitals to track and field meets to football games to student symposiums to science contests to... He buys out bake sales and funds club field trips and donates several fortunes worth of antique knick knacks to various schools. He's invited as a guest lecturer, a commencement speaker, a competition judge, a referee.

Lambert and Aiden, at some point, discover bachelor's parties, call dibs, and never look back. People learn very quickly not to invite witchers to their stag nights unless they want the entire party to get horrifyingly drunk - but at least Lam and Aiden will make sure that everyone makes it home (or to the wedding) safely. Perhaps not soberly, or sans hangover, but definitely without major injury. (And if the bride asks nicely and the groom and friends weren't total jerks, Lambert can usually be counted on to make a hangover cure. He really is a softie at heart.)

Dragonfly and Serrit get tapped for the odd bachelorette party or ladies' birthday parties. Anything that falls under "I want to be able to drink and party with my friends without worrying about some strange guy hurting one of us." They are extremely protective and have both been drunkenly proposed to several times. (Livi finds this terribly amusing. Gweld just wants to know if he can watch.) Milena and Zofia sometimes go with them.

Milena loves going to wedding showers and baby showers, but outside Kaer Morhen, she has to stay in sight of Lambert or one of his brothers. Lambert's rule. (She got KIDNAPPED, okay? He's allowed to worry!) Usually she'll take Geralt (there might be babies! He's excellent protection!) or Eskel (he's very quiet and has excellent manners, and his signs are impossible to fight) for the more, ah, female-heavy events. If anyone asks, they're her brother-in-law and genuinely like spending time around kids. And very, very married.

Stop One Heart From Breaking by inexplicifics

the witcher | explicit | 43k | jaskier x geralt x eskel x lambert | complete | pack bonding 

Jaskier's been a ruined omega for six years now. He's been bought by more alphas than he cares to count, and sold on again; he knows how this works. Being bought by a witcher is a new level of terror...and then it turns out it's not just one witcher, but three. Jaskier is fairly sure he's going to die. And then it turns out that witchers really don't act much like human alphas at all.

This story is so wonderful and tender and loving. Jaskier is a "ruined omega" and sold in Omega auctions to whoever bids the highest and they can do whatever they want to him. Jaskier doesn't have much hope when it comes to alphas, in his experience they are all very violent. But then Geralt buys Jaskier from the auction and takes him to Lambert and Eskel. (Which just makes Jaskier even more worried, because now there's three alpha witchers). But the witchers are different from all alphas he has ever met. And they treat him well, respect him, protect him. And as much as Jaskier is afraid of trusting them, he feels safer than he's ever felt.

This story is so wonderful I don't even know what to say. Jaskier has Trauma, and his witchers are so good and loving and patient with him. Their relationship develops so well and honestly. It really is a feel good story. The hurt all happened prior to the story, and the whole fic is the comfort. (The smut is also super hot). - Also, all 4 of them are together, not just with Jaskier.

This summary is factually incorrect, but I saw this post and I just wanted to make a silly, low-effort meme about one of my favorite witcher fic universes. And now I'm off to go reread my favorite installments

I made this map for the Accidental Warlord Au by the amazing @inexplicifics I hope you like it and that it’s somewhat accurate !

Geralt’s really getting along in his country conquering, only a few more and then he has the whole set!

Obsessed with ‘With Tenderness and Nobleness’ by inexplicifics

and now I’m just imagining Jaskier writing a song about Aiden and Sasha called like The Cat and The Brave Bird and I’m LOSING MY MIND

we as a society have evolved past the need of hogwarts houses, now everyone’s gonna be divided by what kind of Witcher you’d be, based specifically on how the houses are written by @inexplicifics in TAWAU

If you were in @inexplicifics Accidental Warlord AU for a day (or several), what would you do?

Because I'm curious and want to know.

I would probably:

Hug as many witchers as possible, especially the ones old enough to be remember the Path before Ard Carraigh

Double especially Eskel, the man works way too damn hard

Have long talks with Vesemir about philosophy of government and society, because I think his take on it would be FASCINATING

Ask Jaskier to teach me "Ode to Witchers" and "Ciri's Goose Trick" plus maybe some other songs

Boop Geralt on the nose. Possibly while hugging him

Bake HUNDREDS of cookies with Julita (and Melina and Zofia if they wanted), then use those cookies to bribe as many witchers as possible into a giant cuddle pile. Possibly in the library for story time and/or with Jaskier for music!

Go pester the Cranes and make stuff with them - maybe kitchen gadgets? (A dough scoop for the literal HUNDREDS OF COOKIES I'll be making with Julita, for example...)

Teach Lambert to swear in classical Latin, assuming he doesn't already know how (also teach him why those words/phrases are so insulting)

Ask Milena to teach me fancy hairstyles. Offer to paint her nails in return!

Update: someone should introduce Kaer Morhen to new card games. I particularly think Cards Against Humanity Kaer Morhen would be a big hit.

Another little AWAU ficlet, inspired by an ask to @inexplicifics

Summary:

“What the hell?” Bern repeats. Aeik’s grin grows, if possible, even wider and he raises the little pouch.

“Catnip!” he declares gleefully.

AYYY I always get so excited when my favorite fics become real books I can put on my shelves. Out of curiosity, if you could choose fics that would get scrubbed and published from other writers, what would they be?

My immediate answer is Inex's entire Accidental Warlord series and then K'diwa by branwyn (though I have no idea how you'd scrub the Trek off that story).There are definitely more but I need to go to sleep and if I wait to answer this ask I probably never will answer it because I know myself and my bad ask-responding habits.

Same curiosity for anyone willing to share: what fic do you wish was published?
