*rolls up sleeves* Challenge accepted!
1. Who is the early bird/ Who is the night owl? Geralt is the early bird, Yen is the night owl. Although Geralt also enjoys his retirement hours of sleeping in occasionally when he overindulges the night before!
2. Who is the big spoon/ Who is the little spoon? Outcomes vary! But more often than not, Geralt is little spoon. 🤫
3. Who hogs the cover/ Who loves to cuddle? Yen hogs the covers, not that Geralt cares: he has been conditioned by Dandelion who would always steal the covers when they were too broke for more than one bed (canon), he runs hot, and he would give up just about any creature comfort for Yen. All he asks in return is endless cuddles in bed with hair pets and booby nuzzles.
4. Who wakes the other one up with kisses? Geralt wakes Yen up with kisses all over because he’s essentially a horny teenager trapped in a century old body.
5. Who usually has nightmares? Both of them do, but Geralt’s tend to be more dramatic with shooting out of bed, searching for his swords, and needing Yen to talk him down. Yen’s are a quiet waking in panic, pushing up against Geralt to be reminded he’s beside her and comforting herself back to sleep.
6. Who would have really deep emotional thoughts at the middle of the night/ Who would have them in the middle of the day? Geralt has deep emotional thoughts constantly, but normally it takes some good alcohol to open him up to share them. He tends to be in the middle of the night when he’s had a little too much. Yen would be in the middle of the day, doing some menial task like gardening, speaking on the subject as if she were discussing the weather and Geralt listening intently.
7. Who sweats the small stuff? Geralt, he wants to impress his lady with his attention to detail - because Yen believes perfection is in the details (she just doesn’t break a sweat maintaining them.)
8. Who sleeps in their underwear (or naked)/ Who sleeps in their pajamas? Simple man he is, Geralt is either naked or in underwear while Yen prefers a luxurious fabric on her skin to sleep in.
9. Who makes the coffee (or tea)? The best boy Geralt.
10. Who likes sweet/ Who likes sour? Yen likes sweet, Geralt likes sour.
11. Who likes horror movies/ Who likes romance movies? Yen/Geralt (although he won’t openly admit it.)
12. Who is smol/ Who is tol? Yen/Geralt
13. Who is considered the scaredy cat? Anyone who crosses one of them. The only time either one of them is scared is if Ciri is in danger and then Geralt attempts to be the rock (but they’re both panicked.)
14. Who kills the spiders? Yen when Geralt isn’t looking, Geralt catches them and releases them outside.
15. Who is scared of the dark? The dark is scared of Yen and Geralt.
16. Who is scared of thunderstorms? The weather fears upsetting Yennefer. Geralt enjoys the noise.
17. Who works/ Who stays at home? Geralt works more often, he needs to keep busy, but Yen can also be called away to assist with a tricky magical situation or act in midwifery. Yen is more content to spend prolonged periods at home.
18. Who is a cat person/ Who is a dog person? Yen/Geralt, but he’ll get along with a cat if it lets him.
19. Who loves to call the other one cute names? Yen likes to use terms of endearment like ‘darling’ or ‘dear’, but both have lived too damn long for over the top cutesy business. (Although in the bedroom, they’ve been known to give cutesy names to each other’s genitals. “How’s The Duchess today?” Yen speaking to Geralt’s dick.)
20. Who is dominant/ Who is submissive? Yen/Geralt all day.
21. Who has an obsession (over anything)? Yen for perfection, Geralt over Yen.
22. Who goes all out for Valentine’s Day? Geralt gets Ciri’s help to plan something elaborate every year to spoil Yen like he thinks she deserves, flowers, jewelry, dinner, lingerie, the works. Yen always blows him away, figuratively with a simple but thoughtful gift, and literally with a toe-curling blow job.
23. Who asks who out on the first date? Geralt approaches Yen with twenty seconds of courage, “Why would a stunning woman like you ever talk to a guy like me?”
24. Who is the talker/ Who is the listener? Geralt/Yen most often, Geralt philosophizing and Yennefer mulling it over.
25. Who wears the other ones clothes? In a modern setting, Yen would steal Geralt’s hoodies.
26. Who likes to eat healthy/ Who loves junk food? They both tend to eat on the healthier side, but Geralt will indulge in junk food more often than Yen because of watching her waistline.
27. Who takes a long shower/ Who sings in the shower? Geralt/Yen
28. Who is the book worm? Both!
29. Who is the better cook? I’ve answered this on another OTP ask for Yenralt, but it’s Geralt. Yen suggests more exotic herbs and spices sometimes and has a more sensitive palette, but she is not very interested in the domestic aspect of cooking.
30. Who likes long walks on the beach? Both of them with a nice bench to sit and stare out at the water together, either in comfortable silence or deep musings. They just enjoy the sounds of the waves, the cool air and time together the walks bring.
31. Who is more affectionate? Geralt is out right more affectionate, but Yen has her own love language to show affection towards Geralt (like pushing, shoving, swatting his ass, general man handling.)
32. Who likes to have really long (deep) conversation? Geralt 100%. He loves to get Yen’s opinion on all the topics and show off his wide range of knowledge and vocabulary with her.
33. Who would wear “not guilty” t-shirt/ Who would wear “sin” t-shirt? Geralt/Yen
34. Who would wear “if lost return to…” t-shirt/ Who would wear “I am…” t-shirt? Geralt/Yen (she might have let him know half joking/half threatening that being “lost” applies to speaking with any attractive young woman as well).
35. Who goes overboard on the holidays? Yen, she over plans and likes to have a big get together.
36. Who is the social media addict? Yen. Geralt in any universe is technology illiterate.
37. Height difference or age difference? Geralt’s taller, Yen is older - but this cannot be mentioned in ANY circumstances outside of a select few roleplays in the bedroom.
38. Who likes to star gaze? Geralt and theorize on where the universes Ciri has visited are located within the stars. It also leads to many stories/folk tales on the constellations from different regions that Yen enjoys listening to.
39. Who buys cereal for the prize inside? Geralt would do this for a child, not for himself. Either CIri as a child or grandbabies.
40. Who is the fun parent/ Who is the responsible parent? Geralt/Yen. It’s unnatural for Yen, so she focuses on not being a wet blanket during the fun times Geralt instigates with CIri.
41. Who cries during sad movies? Both, but neither will admit it or look at each other while it happens.
42. Who is the neat freak? Yen hands down.
43. Who wins the stuffed animals at the carnival for the other one? Geralt wins it for Yen, she doesn’t tell him she knows the trick to beating the rigging on the game so he can feel accomplished even when it takes 20 attempts.
44. Who is active/ Who is lazy? Geralt is the most active and gets anxious if he stays still for too long, Yen isn’t lazy but selectively utilizes her energy.
45. Who is more likely to get drunk? That would be social drinker Geralt. He always promises Yen he won’t go overboard - and always has to apologize the next morning for breaking his promise.
46. Who has the longer food order?/ 47. Who has the more complex coffee order? You know our fancy girl Yen won’t settle for anything less than exactly what she wants, whether that means five or more alterations to a dish or beverage to make it to her liking.
48. Who loses stuff? Geralt. He will get caught up in what he is doing and misplace an object while he’s doing it. He will even forget his on glasses on the top of his head.
49. Who is the driver/ Who is the passenger? Geralt/Yen (but she is a backseat driver).
50. Who is the hopeless romantic? Mr. Haute-Bellegarde secretly lives in a fantasy world of an erotic romance meets knight’s tale in his mind.

My media this week (6-12 Nov 2022)
📚 STUFF I READ 📚
😍👂The Monsters We Defy (Leslye Penelope, author; Shayna Small, narrator) - book blurb: "A woman able to communicate with spirits must assemble a ragtag crew to pull off a daring heist to save her community in this timely and dazzling historical fantasy that weaves together African American folk magic, history, and romance." and let me tell you how much I LOVED this. Love a heist. Love a SUPERNATURAL heist. Love a prickly female protagonist. Just a really fun, satisfying story!
😊The Case of the Undiscovered Corpse (An Alasdair and Toby and Cambridge Fellows Mystery #1) (Charlie Cochrane) - the 'mystery' solution is nonsensical & convoluted but that's not really the point, it's just the macguffin so two sets of amateur sleuths can team up and since I love all the characters I ain't mad about it. What I love most is seeing J&O as elder statesmen, still living their HEA after 50 years.
🥰Stop @’ing Me (It’s Giving me Anxiety) (isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)) - really fun SMAU with music star Stiles and music YTer Derek. Really good characterizations, fun banter, Pringles discourse, absolutely zero realism about how their respective industries function, as the fanfic gods intend. Plus there's lots of great mocked up SM images and original songs BUT what I truly love most is that this author did an entirely duplicate version of the fic WITHOUT images for accessiblity. Fantastic.

Alpaca Love 14/21
Rating: E
Pairing: Geraskier, background Yentriss
Summary: After one viral video and a bit of a mental breakdown, Jaskier finds himself living at a farmhouse in the countryside on a forced getaway from social media for two long months. He never expects to find love there, but these things have a habit of surprising even the best of us.
CWs: panic attacks, anxiety, smut, alcohol, (more may be added and check AO3 for details)
Also on AO3 Tumblr: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
_
Jaskier was torn from sleep by the sound of an unfamiliar phone ringing. He blinked back to consciousness with a soft groan, scrambling in the sheets to try and locate his mobile, but instead of landing on the blankets, Jaskier’s fingers hit something more solid.
“Ow,” a gruff voice grumbled in his ear.
Geralt.
“Oh cock!” Jaskier cried, sitting up abruptly and almost falling out of the bed as his afternoon with Geralt came flooding back to him.
The room was now dark, the curtains still open, the stars sparkling against the night sky. In the dim light of the moon, Jaskier could just about make out the shape of Geralt next to him in the bed. There wasn’t quite enough space for both of them, and Geralt was pressed up against Jaskier’s side, even after his sudden panicked movements.
After tumbling into bed together, Jaskier and Geralt had spent a lazy afternoon getting to know each other more physically, exchanging kisses, touches, and quiet confessions that were whispered on the wind. For a few hours, Jaskier had been able to shut off his own mind, just focussing on Geralt’s lips beneath his, the feel of warm skin under his fingertips. With every breath, he learned more about the rhythm of Geralt’s heart, the melodies they created in the curve of his smile in harmony with the glimmering affection found in his honey, gold eyes. There was a sense of peace that had washed over Jaskier, settling in his bones, like sinking into a hot bath after too long in the cold.
He couldn’t even remember falling asleep. The last thing he could remember was the feel of Geralt’s fingers combing through his hair. Words were falling from his lips but he wasn’t sure what he had been saying,
And then he’d woken up in the dark, still curled up in Geralt’s arms. The ringing cut off before Jaskier could find his phone, but quickly started up again.
To his surprise, Geralt growled and rolled out of the bed, just as Jaskier swiped up his phone off the bedside table. The screen was dark and it was still in his hands…
“Oh,” he mumbled.
In his sleep-addled state, Jaskier hadn’t even realised that it wasn’t his ringtone. Hell, he couldn’t even remember what his ringtone was. It had been years since he’d taken his phone off of vibrate.
“Eskel?” Geralt hissed into his own phone, then paused to listen. Whilst he was quiet, Jaskier reached for the light on his bedside table. Both of them winced as the room was lit up, and with a faint smile, Geralt met Jaskier’s gaze. “I’m not dead,” he grumbled, rolling his eyes.
Jaskier had to muffle his laughter, biting at his thumb and then sinking back into the duvet. His lips pressed together as he hid behind the pillow. In turn, Geralt rolled his eyes as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
“I know. Tell Ciri I’ll be back for story time tomorrow.” Another pause. “Not sure.” There was an awkward silence that fell over the room as Geralt began to pace on the rug. “Yeah, I promise. I’m okay, just… don’t get her hopes up. We’ve not labelled anything yet.”
Ah bollocks.
With Eskel came the return of the real world, drama, panic, scandal. The night of bliss would soon need to be defined, labelled… and that uncertainty made Jaskier’s head spin a little.
“Geralt?” he whispered, reaching out his hand.
Thankfully, Geralt seemed to understand. He didn’t even hesitate, swiftly sliding back into the bed, switching his mobile to his other hand as he opened up his arms. It was an invitation that Jaskier eagerly accepted, lunging for his lover and curling up against his chest like a kitten. Almost instantly, the steady beat of Geralt’s heart calmed him down. Deep down, Jaskier knew that he couldn’t rely on Geralt forever, but whilst they were together, he might as well take advantage of the calmness Geralt provided him.
“Look, Eskel, I have to go. It’s late… Yeah. Thanks. See ya.”
The phone shut off and Geralt tossed it back towards his pile of clothes. There was a low thud as the phone hit the ground, but Geralt didn’t seem to care. He just placed a kiss on top of Jaskier’s head, humming contently in a way that made Jaskier want to snuggle in closer.
“Hi,” he sighed happily, his fingers dancing across Geralt’s chest, catching on the wolf disc that lay between his pecs. “Did I get you in trouble?”
Geralt huffed. “Wasn’t back in time for Ciri’s bedtime. Apparently she woke up in the night screaming the place down, and normally only Yen and I can settle her when she’s like that.”
“You didn’t have to stay.” Even as the words left his mouth, a dull ache thrummed in Jaskier’s chest.
“Wanted to,” Geralt reassured him, holding him tighter. “Plus you really, really didn’t want to let go. I think you might be part koala, hard to tell, I’m only really familiar with farmyard animals. Could ask Eskel, he volunteered at a zoo once as a kid.”
“Oh shut up,” Jaskier teased. “You really don’t stop once you get started do you?”
“Takes a while to warm up to people. It’s not easy.”
That was relatable, especially after fame had hit. Once upon a time, Jaskier had made new friends as easy as pie, but a few bad encounters with fans had knocked that out of him. Now he was more cautious, and there was always something in the back of mind that told him strangers always wanted something out of him, despite his natural instinct to adopt every new person he met as a friend.
Perhaps that's why it was easier with Geralt. He already knew of Jaskier through Yennefer, and the shy gruffness he portrayed was endearing, clearly a part of his personality rather than a side-effect of being introduced to a celebrity. He’d also not been scared of teasing Jaskier from the get go, laughing along with him and Triss, and Jaskier had gotten to know Geralt without even realising, despite his very obvious crush.
“I’m glad you did with me,” Jaskier admitted quietly, closing his eyes as he listened to Geralt’s heartbeat. “I- I care about you.”
“Hmm,” Geralt replied nonchalantly, and with the tiredness weighing down on his mind, Jaskier wasn’t quite sure exactly what that hum meant, but he decided he didn’t care. After weeks of pining, they were finally together…
His only worry was how long it would last.
The second time Jaskier woke up was a lot more peaceful. The sun shone through the open curtains, basking them in its early orange glow. At some point in the night, Jaskier had rolled onto his back, pulling Geralt top of him. The added weight was comforting, acting like a sort of weight blanket and the soft sounds of Geralt’s snoring was just constant enough to stop Jaskier’s ears from ringing. All in all, he felt rather content, well fucked and rested.
God, he’d missed sex.
Jaskier let his fingers dance along Geralt’s spine, as if it were the fretboard of his guitar. In his head he could hear the gentle plucking of the strings as he shifted his fingers between chords, his right hand tapping along Geralt’s arm as he tried to figure out the best picking pattern for the melody forming in his head.
Beneath him, Geralt snorted in his sleep and shifted on Jaskier’s chest, his head barely lifting up as he peered up at Jaskier. Geralt blinked, a crease forming in the gap between his brows, his nose scrunching up just like Ciri’s did. It was absolutely adorable!
“Tickles,” he grumbled before pressing his forehead back into the crook of Jaskier’s neck, letting out a low hum as he kissed the skin there.
The domesticity of the moment had Jaskier sighing, closing his eyes as he moved his fingers to stroke through Geralt’s hair instead. “Better?”
“Hmm.”
After that all Jaskier wanted to do was fall back asleep. Blissful warmth settled over his body, his limbs like jelly and his mind drifting in that lovely space between sleep and consciousness. Alas, his bladder had other ideas. With every second that passed, Jaskier could feel himself getting more and more desperate for the loo, and despite his best efforts to stay in bed forever more… he knew he had to get up.
He swatted Geralt’s arse as he kissed his forehead. “Get off, I need to pee.”
“Five more minutes,” Geralt murmured.
Jaskier rolled his eyes. It was almost as if he were the morning person, not Mr Dad-and-Horse-Owner. Although, that morning was very likely the first time in a while that Geralt had been allowed to sleep in, so Jaskier couldn’t exactly blame him for milking it.
“Just. Move!” Jaskier whined, trying to push Geralt away from him, but the man was a solid six foot (probably more) of muscle that had no intention of going anywhere, and Jaskier was but a simple twinky musician. Well… sort of. More accurately he was a bit of an otter, but compared to Geralt, anyone would seem twinky at first glance. Still, eventually Jaskier was able to move the sleeping log just enough that he could escape. “I won’t be long!”
He left Geralt hugging the pillow and grumbling, but by the time Jaskier had finished up in the bathroom, including a rather valiant fight with morning breath, Geralt had vanished. The bed was empty and sheets had been made. His heart skipped a beat, the all too familiar sensation of anxiety creeping up his spine, a slight dizzy wave knocking him back a little.
Frantically, he searched the room, and then, with a sigh of relief, sat back down on the bed. Geralt’s clothes were still bundled in the corner along with his phone. Jaskier groaned and ran his hands through his hair. “Get a grip, Jask,” he mumbled to himself and then a little louder he called out, “Geralt!”
“Kitchen!”
Kitchen. Of course. That made perfect sense. Jaskier had been busy in the bathroom, so the next logical place to look would be the kitchen. A man like Geralt probably had to eat a whole bunch of food just to maintain body mass with all those muscles and the active job. Not everyone could be a complete slob in the mornings with a liquid diet of coffee.
So, after grabbing a pair of boxers and his dressing gown, Jaskier made his way downstairs, and oh, ho, ho! He was glad he did. Geralt was standing by the stove wearing just his boxers and an apron, and looking fine. Oh the things he did to Jaskier’s poor bisexual heart. His silver hair was loose around his face and…
And Jaskier was in love.
So, so in love.
It wasn’t exactly a revelation at this point. Jaskier was very aware of his feelings, but, Christ, the depth of them was fucking terrifying. For once in his life he would have liked just a light-hearted crush, nothing all-in, but his heart wanted Geralt and who was he to argue.
Okay well, maybe he’d argue a little bit. He was still incredibly anxious about leaving the countryside, and the thought of a long distance relationship was horrid. Three weeks. They had three weeks to figure something out. If the last two weeks had told him anything it was that Geralt was just as invested, despite the mess that was one Julian Alfred Pankratz.
It was sort of funny, in a way, how reluctant he’d been to leave London. He would have bet money that he would have been eagerly flying back to the hustle and bustle and social media and nightclubs after pubs after bars..
But that sounded like a nightmare to him now.
Yes, he still thrived on people. He loved the serotonin boost he got from meeting a new fan, from spending a day with people who cared about him. It was just… Well, he was realising that perhaps his friends in London weren’t truly his friends. When he’d been too tired to party, then they’d been disappointed in him and he’d ended up going out anyway. The people in the industry always wanted to know more about his music, the meanings behind it, could they get any free tickets to his next concert, what was he wearing to the next awards show… etc.
They never cared about him, about the person behind the guitar.
With Triss, Geralt and Ciri, Jaskier had been able to spend hours laughing as they trudged through muddy fields. He’d learned how to knit… sort of. There had been dates and movies and early morning coffees. Ciri had cared more about what Jaskier thought of her colouring books than getting his autograph, and Triss had no fears of putting him in his place when he acted like an idiot. It was so unlike anything he’d experienced in years, when people would just bend over backwards to please him, to get something from him. All Triss wanted was help with the animals in exchange for sharing her home.
And Geralt.
Fuck.
Everything seemed to come back to Geralt, as was the way when one was in love. Watching Geralt cook was a beautiful sight indeed. Yes, Jaskier was a little biaised and was definitely swayed by any attractive person that gave him the time of day, but it was more than that. The methodical way that Geralt moved around the kitchen, cracking eggs into pots first, moving the bacon around in the pan, slicing bread and setting up the coffee to brew, was almost like a dance. He was taking great care to provide such a simple thing as food, and it melted Jaskier’s heart.
That was Geralt in a nutshell - caring.
It was evident in everything he did, the way he interacted with Roach, with Ciri and even letting his brothers live with him. This was a gentle giant, so full of love that was shown in the quietest of ways, and Jaskier wanted to bask in the glow of the shining adoration for the rest of his life. A little dramatic perhaps, but they do say sometimes you just know, and the moment Jaskier saw Geralt he knew.
“I love you,” he said without really realising what words were coming out of his mouth. Not until Geralt froze and turned to face him, like a deer in the headlights. “I mean, umm… fuck!”
Jaskier buried his face in his hands, ready to run back upstairs and hide under the covers in shame. Wasn’t it him that had said it would just be sex? Shit! The mixed signals he must be giving Geralt just wasn’t fair, and he hated that. His anxiety was messing with him just enough to be unreasonable, but not quite enough that he couldn’t recognise that.
Oh to live in blissful ignorance.
“There’s still no strings,” he mumbled. “Well, maybe a teensy, tiny, little string, but I can cut it. It’s fine. I didn’t mean to-”
Geralt’s lips muffled his words midflow, calloused fingers pressing at the nape of his neck, pulling him closer, closer, closer. For one dizzying moment Jaskier knew what it was like to be loved by Geralt Rivia. He might not have said the words back, but Geralt was pouring every ounce of love he had in his heart into the kiss, the way he held onto Jaskier, the quiet adoration that Jaskier had come to know so well.
When they pulled apart, Jaskier’s fingers reached up to touch Geralt’s cheek, as they stood together, sharing breath until-
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Jaskier cursed and sprang back as Geralt raced to the toaster, smoke filling the kitchen without either of them realising. “Oh cock!”
“It’s fine, the edge just caught.”
Breakfast might not have been ruined but the moment certainly was. They would need to come back to that soon, but for now, Jaskier was quite happy to be pampered by his maybe boyfriend, before the rush of the day would sweep them off their feet.

Henry Cavill may be out as Superman (as of now), but it seems like he’s taken up another iconic role of a hunter! Yes, he is going to be the lead in Netflix’s The Witcher horror series. Well, the wait for Cavill’s fans has ended, because the first look of the Man of Steel actor as Geralt is out now from Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher.
It was announced by Netflix that Cavill will be joining the series in September, after which, many debates and speculations started surfacing on social media too. Though, still it’s not been clearly told by Warner Bros. whether Henry Cavill is still there as Clark Kent/Superman or not. But according to rumors, he won’t be. But those are rumors and without any official clarification, it’s all but far from an end.

Netflix has just posted The Witcher’s short clip in which Cavill can be seen as Geralt. But it’s just a test screening and not any official clip from the show. Watch for yourself.

— Netflix US (@netflix) October 31, 2018
The Netflix series is based on writer Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels by the same name, and is adapted by writer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. The show will begin shooting this month. And currently it seems very skeptical about the success of this series, but considering the long record of Netflix in delivering fantastic and blockbuster horror/mysterious shows, then it looks certain that The Witcher will be another addition to its classics, for sure.
The cast of the show also stars Freya Allan as Ciri, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe, Bjorn Hlynur as Eist, Adam Levy as Mousesack, and MyAnna Burig as Tissaia, among others.
As per the synopsis, The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family. Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a fatal secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.
The show is expected to premiere in 2019, only on Netflix.

The Witcher:
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf appears to be like unusually rad in its professional trailer-mycyberbase
[ad_1]
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf's professional trailer has landed on-line, and we are lovely fascinated with what we have now observed from the impending Netflix film.
Posted to the streamer's professional social media accounts on August 9, the most recent trailer equipped us with quite a few new pictures to pour over, together with demanding having a look motion sequences and a few funny quips as well.
Take a look at the professional trailer underneath:
"Have you learnt what is concerned with creating a witcher?"Watch the brand new trailer for THE WITCHER: NIGHTMARE OF THE WOLF, a brand new animated prequel film from Studio Mir that tells the foundation tale of Geralt's mentor Vesemir. percent.twitter.com/668W3IxcdNAugust 9, 2021
See extra
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf stars Theo James as Vesemir, Geralt's Witcher mentor as he explores the Continent years ahead of he is taking the sequence' primary protagonist below his wing.
Nightmare of the Wolf will depict Vesemir's origins tale however, whilst we will see the live-action model of the nature in The Witcher season 2 later this 12 months, the prequel film will introduce him to audiences in animated shape as an alternative.
At the floor, it should look like a unusual transfer for Netflix to make. In spite of everything, its adaptation of The Witcher – plus the streamer's coming near near Blood Origin spin-off TV display – are live-action productions, so growing an anime-style prequel movie may well be seen as slightly of an oddity.
And but, in response to the 2 trailers we have now observed up to now (the teaser trailer arrived in late July), Nightmare of the Wolf in fact appears to be like lovely first rate.
For one, the animation appears to be like stunning. It seems that fluid, the colours in point of fact pop in opposition to the in most cases grey and drab backgrounds and the lights seems to be spot on. Upload within the herbal flowing really feel of the film's set-pieces and Nightmare of the Wolf seems like a top-tier degree manufacturing.
(Symbol credit score: Netflix)
That mustn't come as a lot of a wonder, thoughts you. The studio in the back of its building – Studio Mir – additionally created Dota: Dragon's Blood for Netflix, and that venture's animation seemed simply as pretty as Nightmare of the Wolf does.
The Korean animation corporate has additionally led manufacturing on Warner Bros' animated houses together with Younger Justice, in addition to The Boondocks for Grownup Swim, so it has quite a few revel in below its belt that'll have helped to make Nightmare of the Wolf as excellent as it seems that.
Upload in the truth that Nightmare of the Wolf used to be penned via Beau DeMayo, who wrote the episode 'Betrayer Moon' for The Witcher season 1, and has been produced via The Witcher's showrunner Lauran Schmidt Hissrich, and the animated prequel movie appears to be in protected palms.
The ones hyperlinks with DeMayo and Hissrich, particularly, will assist to bridge the space between Nightmare of the Wolf and Netflix's live-action Witcher sequence, too, so we suspect that there will some name backs to the prequel film in The Witcher season 2.
All in all, we are lovely pumped for Nightmare of the Wolf's arrival later this month. Netflix has loved good fortune with its different fresh animated diversifications, together with Castlevania, Masters of the Universe: Revelation (regardless that some enthusiasts had been unsatisfied with how it turned out), Blood of Zeus and the aforementioned Dota.
If Nightmare of the Wolf is as excellent as the ones houses, it's going to be any other hit for the streaming large – and start to construct our anticipation for The Witcher season 2, which launches in December.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf lands on Netflix on Friday, August
23.

Liam Hemsworth Will Substitute Henry Cavill on The Witcher
Picture: ANGELA WEISS (Getty Pictures)
This was positively not on our popular culture Bingo card. Netflix has introduced the recasting of Geralt of Rivia on their hit collection The Witcher. Henry Cavill will probably be leaving the function and Liam Hemsworth (The Starvation Video games) will probably be stepping in for season 4 of the present.
Guess, now we have Superman to thank for this (Geralt grunt). Actually, want Cavill might simply keep on each however who is aware of what his new dedication will probably be to the Man of Metal over at DC Studios. Hopefully, we’ll discover out quickly as season 3, his ultimate as Geralt, has wrapped. On social media he shared his assertion:
“My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been stuffed with each monsters and adventures, and alas, I will probably be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4,” Cavill stated. “In my stead, the incredible Mr. Liam Hemsworth will probably be taking over the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the best of literary characters, I cross the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s tackle this most fascinating and nuanced of males. Liam, good sir, this character has such a beautiful depth to him, get pleasure from diving in and seeing what you could find.”
In the meantime, Hemsworth is a shocking alternative and will probably be taking up the function of for the collection’ fourth season on Netflix. He too, shared his enthusiasm, “As a Witcher fan I’m over the moon concerning the alternative to play Geralt of Rivia,” he stated. “Henry Cavill has been an unimaginable Geralt, and I’m honoured that he’s handing me the reins and permitting me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the subsequent chapter of his journey. Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was impressed by what you delivered to this beloved character. I could have some huge boots to fill, however I’m actually excited to be moving into The Witcher world.”
G/O Media could get a fee
A present for actually everyone.

Jaskier is immortal, regenerating after death seemingly regardless of how it happens. Geralt is a desperate man who turned to necrophilia long ago to get the physical comfort he very rarely gets from the living. Usually it causes no issue except his own shame, because corpses don’t usually wake up and complain like this one does. Bluntly: Geralt is using Jaskier’s corpse to get off and Jaskier comes back to life in the middle. What follows this bizarre, horrible meet cute cannot be described as your typical love story nor a particularly morally good one. Note: Tags will likely update as the story progresses.
Note about the Rape/Non-Con tag: Rape, non-consent, and sexual assault are major, active themes in this story and sometimes characters attempt to justify their bad behaviors. Please be cautious when choosing to read. ❤️
Dedicated to the three bright little stars who wanted it most and pushed me to post even though I was a little scared. Thank you so much for your continued support! ❤️

lip synch your way into my heart pt. 2
(Part One Here)
@PrissCilla: Is this the guy that your Party City video was about?
The unfamiliar user has attached a picture to their message and Geralt’s eyes widen in happy surprise when he realizes that it is, in fact, Party City Guy. The picture of Party City Guy is a ridiculously adorable candid; he’s reclining in an oversized rainbow beanbag chair, a large textbook sitting on his lap and his lip nestled sweetly between his teeth.
Geralt wants to know what it feels like to nip at that same soft skin. Gods he wants that so badly; ever since the brunette had turned around and flashed that blindingly sweet grin in the aisle of his workplace. The guy had clearly recognized him from the way he’d blushed and gone silent, somehow even cuter then than he had been when smiling a moment before. Geralt had barely paid attention to the brand of costume blood he’d grabbed from the shelf; he was too distracted by the blue-eyed beauty behind the checkout counter.
He replies to the photo-message quickly. Maybe too quickly.
@whitehairdontcare: Yeah. I didn’t catch his name, unfortunately. Are you roommates or something?
@PrissCilla: Yeah, he’s my roomie. I’ll give you his Tik Tok handle but only if you swear on your follower count that you’re actually interested in him as a person and not just as a way to pass the time. I don’t care if you’re internet famous, he’s my best friend and I don’t want to see him hurt.
@PrissCilla: Also he has a huge celebrity crush on you already so it’s barely fair.
@whitehairdontcare: I swear that I have nothing but honest intentions. I think I fell in like at first sight at his job the other day. My name is Geralt, btw.
@PrissCilla: Oh he’s gonna love that line if you ever use it. He’s a huge sap.
@PrissCilla: Alright, I trust you Geralt. You can find him at @buttercup-bard.
After that message she sends a gif of RuPaul saying “And DON’T fuck it up!” He smiles a bit at that. If this is what Party City’s friends are like then he must be the coolest person on the fucking planet.
@whitehairdontcare: Why’d he pick that name?
@PrissCilla: Ask him, fam. Later.
Geralt’s eyes flicker back up to the picture. He saves it to his camera roll without hesitation; Party City just looks so sweet. He’s so focused and intent and- and Geralt wants to know what it would be like to have that kind of intensity focused on him. He wants to mirror it back. He’s never really been the type to hit on strangers but this guy has him all kinds of fucked up.
This guy is...different. Special. Perhaps, though Geralt has no real proof at this point, this guy might even be perfect.
---
Two days later, on his way to class, Jaskier opens Tik Tok and starts to scroll his For You Page as usual. There are a few funny dances and a few skits that make him half-smile in amusement; it wastes the time between locations effectively. He’s nearly all the way to campus when he comes across the latest video that @whitehairdontcare has posted. He bites back a squeak when he reads the caption: “POV: You’re the cute cashier from Party City and your car breaks down after our first date.”
How did he know? How did he know that the car mechanic video was Jaskier’s favorite? Really, though, this couldn’t be about Jaskier. Not even possible. Inconceivable. No way.
Except.
Except that he also had a private message waiting for him. From @whitehairdontcare.
Holy fucking shit.
Jaskier’s eyes roll back into his head and he collapses off the seat of the bus, unconscious.
---
Forty-five minutes and one short walk later and Jaskier has a bag of ice pressed to the sizable goose-egg on his forehead. According to the two girls who’d sprinkled water on his face to wake him up (and then accompanied him to the campus Health and Safety building behind the library) he’d dropped his phone, crumpled to the floor “like a sad puppet” and slid forward when the bus driver hit the brakes, slamming his head into the support pole in the center of the aisle.
There would be a definite bruise and probably a raised bump for at least a week and a half according to the nurse on call.
It wasn’t until the taller girl handed his phone back to him that Jaskier realized he’d never even read Mr. White Hair’s private message before his embarrassing little accident. With one hand still holding the ice against his injury and the other trembling against his phone screen, the anxious young man unlocked the device and opened Tik Tok once again. He tapped on the private message and focused on each individual word:
@whitehairdontcare: Hey Party City Guy, my name is Geralt.
There’s a selfie. The influencer is flashing the peace sign, his long white hair pulled back into a messy bun, one eye closed in a frozen wink. Jaskier’s fingers barely manage to type out a shocked reply.
@buttercup-bard: Hello, Geralt. I’m Jaskier. No offense but...why are you talking to me?
@whitehairdontcare: You seemed nice? You’re cute? I like your hair? Do you need more reason cause I have more reasons.
Jaskier is utterly floored. No only did the popular Tik Tokker reply immediately but he’d replied with those answers. The college senior takes a few deep breaths to steady himself before snapping a quick selfie, ice and all. At least his smile is still charming, he hopes.
@buttercup-bard: I’m probably not quite as cute as you remember rn. Oops.
@whitehairdontcare: What happened?? Are you okay?
@buttercup-bard: It’s embarrassing. Maybe another time.
@whitehairdontcare: Maybe you could tell me on our date? I promise I’m not creepy. You were just so nice the other day even tho you were nervous or whatever.
Jaskier knows that if he’s going to hyperventilate, this is probably the best place to do it. The nurse is still less than fifty feet away and should push come to shove she can probably revive his stupid ass. Instead, though, he focuses on every modern retelling of Cinderella he’s ever seen.
Gods, he thinks, smiling absently down at his phone screen where Mr. Whit- where Geralt is grinning up at him with that wink and that peace sign. My version is going to be so much better.
@buttercup-bard: Yeah, alright. Maybe I’ll tell you about how your Tik Tok made me pass out on a public bus...on our date.

Enemies to Lovers Fic Recs
Enjoy a collection of my favorite trope of all time--enemies to lovers!
Thieves and Riches by Avoiding Average
Geralt is just trying to do a favor for an old friend when he finds himself tied up and shoved into a storage closet by a group of robbers. There he meets Jaskier, an enigmatic cat burglar who is a little too good at teasing a reaction of the normally stoic detective.
The Lesser Evil by impalaloompa
1674 and piracy is rife throughout the Caribbean. Plenty of work for a Pirate Hunter such as Geralt. But when he takes a contract to hunt down a pirate captain who is interfering with important trade, a harsh truth arrises that will question his morals and he will be forced to choose between two evils, and risk the one thing he never thought he would find. Love.
All Those Books That We Both Drowned by Queer_and_trashy
Pankratz was the exact breed of professor that grated Geralt to the bone. All new-age learning styles that throw away any sort of examinations and insisting on his students calling him Jaskier. The bastard had a five-star rating on Rate My Professor, while Geralt was consistently stuck at 3 with students complaining his tests were difficult or lectures were boring. Lecture style teaching was all he knew; he wasn’t about to change that now based on the opinions of some eighteen-year-olds.
Geralt- a grumpy, workaholic, history professor- meets the flamboyant music professor Dr. Pankratz and immediately develops a rivalry. When they are recruited to work on a project together said rivalry and the stewing sexual tension between them make things... complicated.
The Enemy of My Enemy by didoandis
The soldiers half support, half carry her stumbling across the camp to one of the carts, iron wheels sunk in the mud. A rope is tied firmly round the shaft; it snakes down and ends in a knot around some poor sod’s neck, the man curled in around himself, facing away. One of the soldiers takes the rope tied to her shackles and lashes it to the wheel. The other kicks the poor sod in the side, apparently for fun. He moans, turns, uncurls. Yennefer sees brown hair, blue eyes. She sighs.
“Oh come on! Wasn’t the torture torture enough?” Jaskier demands.
When Yennefer’s captured after Sodden she has to take the help that she can get. Even if it does come from Geralt’s ridiculous bard.
A Gentleman’s Guide to Seducing Your Fiancé by AvoidingAverage
It is a truth universally known that Geralt fucking hated Viscount Julien de Lettenhove.
Their rivalry was the stuff of legends, the sort that drew the eye and the idle gossip of members of court. It ensured that each time they came within five feet of the other, the entire room would go still, watchful. Eager. For what could be more delicious, more exciting than a fight between the Crown Prince and his new betrothed?
The Other Half by dapperyklutz
With the rise of the social media app Sole Mate, everyone seems to be getting their happy ending. From his students and fellow faculty members at Redania University and down to his family, it feels like life is mocking Jaskier. He doesn't need a bloody app to meet his soulmate because he already met him. Geralt Rivia.
And he doesn't want anything to do with Jaskier.
Following a nervous confession and rough confrontation, Jaskier does his best to navigate through life knowing his soulmate doesn't want him. He has his lovely students in his Creative Writing class. He has his friends and his cat and his music. He doesn't need Geralt to complete him or to make him happy. Jaskier is perfectly fine on his own, ta very much.
But alas, that's not what destiny has planned for him.
Make Me a Bargain, Dear Heart
The first time Geralt made a deal with the fae, he was young and stupid enough to think it wouldn’t change his life.
To be fair, he’d been dying at the time.
______________________________
Bound by the favors he owes the strange fae who'd come to his rescue, Geralt finds himself an unwilling participant a world of bargaining magic and immortal games. Was Jaskier a friend or was he something worse than the monsters Geralt hunted?

Alpaca Love
Chapter Three/??
Rating: E (In later chapters)
Pairing: Geraskier, background Yentriss
Summary: After one viral video and a bit of a mental breakdown, Jaskier finds himself living at a farmhouse in the countryside on a forced getaway from social media for two long months. He never expects to find love there, but these things have a habit of surprising even the best of us.
- or a fanfic loosely based off the Dear Hearts Drive video starring one Joey Batey.
CWs: panic attacks, anxiety, smut, alcohol, (more may be added and check AO3 for details)Also on AO3 - Part 1, 2
_
Geralt was brushing down Roach when Ciri came flying into the stables, a blur of ashen blonde hair. He wrapped her up in his arms and pressed a kiss to her forehead. This was the best part about his work at the stables. His hours were as flexible as he needed them to be, meaning he could spend time with his daughter. Geralt hadn’t really expected to have full custody of their daughter after the divorce from Yennefer, and being a single parent wasn’t something he’d imagined when he’d thought about his future but he wouldn’t change a thing. She was the best thing that had come out of his marriage to Yen. He smirked at that, it was the only thing they agreed on these days.
“I can’t believe you went out without me!” Ciri pouted. Geralt loved his daughter dearly but his time with Roach in the mornings was special. It was peaceful. It was his time alone, away from his brothers, away from Yen, away from his students, and away from Ciri.
“You can help whilst you’re here.”
Ciri groaned, “But I haven’t had breakfast yet!”
Geralt shook his head and smiled fondly down at her. “And whose fault is that?”
“Uncle Lambert’s,” Ciri said decisively with one hand on her hips, the other brushing her hair from off her face and for just a moment Geralt was reminded of that singer she liked, the one from this morning.
Jaskier.
He wondered whether Ciri had picked up the habit in an effort to mimic her favourite celebrity, or whether it was just coincidence. He blinked and blue eyes became green once more.
“Fuck,” he growled under his breath, much to Ciri’s delight as she cackled and pointed accusingly at him.
Jaskier.
Ciri’s favourite celebrity.
How the fuck was Ciri supposed to stay with Triss if Jaskier was staying there? He couldn’t cancel his lessons that afternoon, it was too late, but Ciri meeting Jaskier would be a nightmare. Ciri was a great kid but he wasn’t sure if he trusted her to remain calm enough to not freak out the musician. It wouldn’t be malicious but she was a child and she was bound to be excited to meet her hero. Shit, and what if Jaskier was a disappointment? He didn’t want to have to pick up the pieces if Jaskier broke her heart.
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
“Dad?” Ciri asked, scrunching up her nose as she scowled up at him.
“I need to call Triss, will you be alright for a few minutes?”
Ciri just scoffed. “Dad I’m seven, I can look after myself.”
“Hmm,” Geralt seriously doubted that but he didn’t have much choice and Ciri would only be alone for a couple of minutes max. He stroked Roach’s snout softly. “Play nice.”
Ciri laughed and carried on brushing Roach’s coat as Geralt stepped just out of ear-shot and pulled out his mobile. The phone rang twice before it clicked.
“Triss Merigold’s phone?” a melodic tenor voice answered.
“You’re not Triss?”
“Geralt?” the man asked and Geralt suddenly remembered the cornflower blue eyes from his trek that morning.
“Jaskier?”
“Ah yes, hello! Sorry. Umm.. well Triss is in the shower and then her phone started ringing and I thought maybe I could take a message?” Jaskier stammered out and Geralt could practically see the way the younger man pulled at his hair.
It was odd. In his videos and interviews he was confident, charming, charismatic. He would never have imagined the nervous young man from this morning could be the same person as the man in the posters that were plastered all over Ciri’s bedroom walls.
“There’s an answer machine,” Geralt said bluntly.
“Shit, right. Yes, well… I. umm. I might have sort of seen your name come up on the I.D.?”
Geralt snorted. How the hell was this man a celebrity? He couldn’t imagine Yennefer getting on well with him either. What the fuck had she seen in him that was worth her time? She was ruthless with her clients and incredibly picky. She didn’t waste her time on people that wouldn’t bring her success.
Then again, Geralt had heard Jaskier’s music. He knew the way Jaskier’s music could enchant the soul. They were catchy tunes but they had heart. There was always at least one song per album that really broke all expectations of what pop music was, something heartbreaking and beautiful. Jaskier’s music made you feel as if you knew him. It was enticing. Geralt wasn’t immune to his charms either, but… that was Jaskier the celebrity.
Jaskier the person seemed to be a bit of a mess.
Geralt wasn’t sure what to think. He shook his head and smiled, grateful that Jaskier couldn’t see him, as he thought about the blinding smile Jaskier had given him that morning as if he hadn’t just pulled fucking bread from his trousers.
“I’m umm, well I’m. I’m sure Triss won’t be long, Geralt,” Jaskier rambled from the other end of the line, and Geralt realised he still hadn’t said anything.
“My daughter is supposed to stay with Triss this afternoon whilst I’m teaching.”
“Ciri?”
Geralt smiled. Jaskier remembered her name. Ciri would be over the moon if she knew. “Yeah, that’s her. She’s a bit of a fan, is that going to be alright?”
“Ooh right, I see,” Jaskier hummed, trailing off and Geralt waited for the musician to answer his question. “Oh yes! Sorry, yes of course. I would be delighted to meet her! Although perhaps you should drop her off a little earlier so she can get used to the idea of me being me before you leave.”
Geralt chuckled, Jaskier was rambling again. “Thanks, Jaskier.”
Jaskier let out his own laugh. “Great, I mean, no problem! Oh Triss is back, did you still want to talk to her?”
Geralt shook his head. “No, it’s fine. I’ll be round just after twelve.”
“Ok, see you later, Geralt.”
Geralt hung up and headed back to Roach’s stall. Ciri was chattering away to Roach, petting the side of her neck. Geralt watched from the edge of the stall for a moment, leaning on the wooden slats and crossing his arms in front of his chest. Ciri was so much like him at times, it made him feel… something he couldn’t quite put a finger on, something good. Seven years and he still had that rush of warmth that he’d felt at the hospital when he’d first looked at his baby girl. He wondered if it would ever fade, he really hoped it wouldn’t.
“Come on, let’s finish up and get some food,” he said, pushing off the wall as he walked closer to Ciri and Roach. “I have some news.”
“What is it?” Ciri asked, her emerald green eyes brightening. “Am I getting a present?”
Geralt scoffed and pulled her into a side hug. “You’ll see, princess.”
“But Dad!” she whined.
“You’ll see.”
She huffed and crossed her arms in front of her chest, but thankfully got on with her work.
_____
Breakfast had been a noisy affair. Ciri hadn’t stopped badgering him about his news, and his brothers had caught onto it. Lambert was being insufferable, and even Eskel had joined in, but Geralt refused to tell them until the dishes were cleared away.
“So, Geralt,” Eskel grunted, tossing a clean tea towel in his direction, “what’s this big news?”
“Triss has a visitor staying with her for a while,” Geralt said, trying to keep his voice as neutral as possible. He knew it would wind up his brothers, but wasn’t that what siblings were for?
“Oh wow…” Lambert scoffed. “Is that it?”
“Mum!” Ciri cried, a wide smile on her face. “She hasn’t visited for ages.”
Eskel raised his eyebrow at Geralt. They’d always been close and Geralt knew he hadn’t fooled his brother. “Not your mum,” Geralt corrected his daughter, “one of her clients.”
“Her clients?”
“A musician?” Eskel guessed.
Geralt smirked, keeping his eyes on Ciri. “Mhmm.”
Ciri stared back at him, narrowing her eyes and scrunching up her nose. Geralt just tilted his head and raised an eyebrow at her. He saw the exact moment that she realised who he was talking about. Her eyes went wide and her hands flew up to cover her mouth.
“No,” she gasped.
“Who?” Lambert grunted, running a hand through his hair.
“Jaskier?!” Ciri squeaked and jumped up to hug him. Her legs wrapped around his waist and he laughed as he spun her around the kitchen.
“Now, you can’t tell anyone that he’s here, Ciri,” Geralt said firmly as he brushed her hair from her eyes. “If he’s visiting the farm then he’s here for a break. We don’t need any paparazzi around, bothering him.”
Ciri whined. “Can’t I tell Dara?”
Geralt shook his head and dropped her gently back to the floor. “No, Ciri.”
He was suddenly glad she didn’t have a mobile phone yet. She’d begged him for one but he wanted to wait until she was a little older before she got her own.
“Mistle is going to be so jealous,” Ciri cackled.
“No, she isn’t,” he refuted “because she won’t know.”
“But Dad!”
“I’ll talk to Yen once he’s gone home and then we’ll see?”
She scowled up at him and scoffed. “Fine, but it’s not fair!”
“Jaskier is still just a person, Ciri,” Eskel said, wrapping his arms around her. “Don’t you think he deserves a little privacy too?”
“This is the coolest thing to happen in this village and I can’t tell anyone!” Ciri whined.
“Not yet, promise me, princess?”
Ciri muttered something under her breath but nodded. “Fine, I promise.”
Geralt kissed her hair, thanking her for understanding before she ran upstairs to her room. Geralt was left alone in the kitchen with his brothers, both of them had shit eating grins on their faces. Geralt groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. Unlike Ciri, Lambert and Eskel knew that Geralt was fond of the singer, and by the looks of it they weren’t going to let him live this down.
“Sooo….” Lambert sang with a wicked grin “Jaskier eh?”
“Fuck off, Lambert.”

Jambert and(?) Lambert/Aiden/Jaskier modern AU plot bunny
I had to rush my dog to the emergency vet at 3am, and the brand new low-key flustered vet had to wait for the experienced vet tech to arrive before they could take a look at my sick fur-goblin. But oh my god, I don't know if it was exhausted eyes deceiving me, but the vet kept looking at the vet tech for approval with stars in her eyes and I'm looking for a silver lining in this whole nightmare. Doggo is sick but doing better btw
It would be so cute if Jaskier was a brand new vet getting flustered by the super competent veteren vet tech. Like, they were both so incredible with my pup, but the vet tech had her absolutely melting and even got licks to her face mask 🥺 Just a cute scenario.
.
Imagine the normally kinda cranky and snarky Lambert being an absolute soft bamf and showing the softness more than usual because it's 3am, he only fell asleep at 1 and had been pulling very long shifts all week, and keeping up a semblance of professionalism while Jaskier is around is just exhausting at the best of times because that cute asshole does not want to be kept at arms-length and is personally setting out to ruin Lambert's life
.
And "Geralt, stop laughing you absolute ass! This isn't funny. He has these blue Disney fucking princess eyes, and he sings lullabies to the animals, and the social media accounts he's set up for the office and the local animal shelter have gotten senior animals adopted, and he actually sews them outfits and somehow partnered with old geezer homes for them to crochet shit and walk the better behaved dogs?? How is he real I hate my life
...Eskel shut the fuck up. Not you too - no wait!! Don't you fucking dare call Vesemir, I will shove that phone so far up your ass that you'll be burping ringtones
.
...so he kinda just says fuck it and invites Jask back to his place after a 3am emergency call-out because it's within walking distance and they are covered in cursed fluids without a change of clothes, and Jaskier will literally never stop complaining if he has to clean aforementioned cursed fluids out of his car's upholstery
And it's 5am and Jaskier is wearing his clothes, looking infuriatingly at home, and he just wants to have a nice thing for once. Jaskier is that nice thing
.
Or maybe Lambert and Aiden are poly and in a semi-open relationship, and Aiden stumbles out of bed at 6am to find his husband and a random(?) pretty boy passed out on the couch. He just kind of shrugs and starts to make breakfast for three, and within 30 minutes of meeting this sleep-rumpled mess he gets it. He gets why Lambert is enamoured like a 12 year old
Jaskier is an infuriatingly Nice Thing™
And if Lambert doesn't want to take the risk, well, Aiden has never claimed to not be an impulsive dick. But, an impulsive dick who loves his husband and doesn't see why those two should be pining like children
.
But like, Jaskier is super embarrassed over not knowing;
1. That his hot coworker that he's a little in love with is married (he wears his ring on a necklace because of regularly encountering cursed fluids at work)
2. That Lambert and his husband are ridiculously in love, and Aiden, Lambert's husband, seems nonplussed over waking up and finding a stranger (apparently wearing Aiden's clothes because Lambert just grabbed something from the clean laundry hamper FML) drooling on his husband's chest
.
So fuck his life and curse his romantic heart because his crush's husband would be very easy to fall in love with too
.
3. Aiden makes amazing french toast that caused an honest to god moan to get ripped out of his throat when he took that first bite, and that would explain the memorable day where Lambert came into the office with two distinct icing sugar handprints on the ass of his scrubs and looking like he'd rip anyone's head off for mentioning it after Jaskier leaned in close, smelling the heady notes of sandalwood and petrichor that clings to the man, and whispered that he might want to clean himself up in the bathroom because something is on his pants
4. Lambert prefers sandalwood and it's Aiden who smells like a storm
5. Not knowing they were poly and spending the first 10 minutes acting very Apologetic and Awkward. Post-poly relationship enlightenment he spends another 2 minutes rambling about how one of his friends is in a poly relationship and celebrating their 13th and 15th anniversaries and, Good for you two, having open communication is a hard thing to find in a lot of relationships wow
And Lambert and Aiden just look a bit amused and confused, because they really don't need approval but they get where he's coming from when he says, "...and don't worry Lambert, I might be a chatterbox but your secret is safe with me. I don't want to create any trouble for you, I know that the receptionist got pretty snippy with me once she heard I was a bisexual disaster and took more offence to the former than the latter."
And see, that derails their plans of seduction, quiet plans made using eyebrows and other silent languages that people who know each other for years develop.
Because, sure, Jaskier had only been working there ruining Lambert's life hes a grown man why is he fucking adorable singing old lullabies that he half remembers from life before being fostered by Vesemir for 6 months, but Beth has only been there 2 weeks and that shit will not fly
And anyway Beth gets reprimanded and quits before she's fired, but now they're in a really tight place at work because even a shitty receptionist/admin assistant keeps the place running in ways not evident or appreciated until poof gone.
.
So highschool just let out, and Ciri is a feral teenager that takes very much after her late grandmother and Yennifer, and she's looking for a summer job. Boom 💫 Now she's low-key tormenting her uncle Lambert and trying to play matchmaker with these two ridiculous men and an exasperated uncle Aiden.
....
And I have no steam left in this plot bunny that dragged me through bullet points but here it is thank you for coming to my 1,000 word TED talk. If anyone bothered to get this far I both congratulate you and worry for your sleep schedule. You should probably be sleeping

My media this week (26 Sep-2 Oct 2021)
📚 STUFF I READ 📚
🙂 👂 Your Cruelly, Elvira (Cassandra Petersen, author & narrator) - basically a tell-all memoir, mostly remembrance and not a ton of introspection but fairly entertaining. I certainly didn’t realize quite how wild CP’s life BEFORE Elvira was; becoming Elvira was when she SETTLED DOWN. Respect that she was a self-admitted ‘starfucker’ in her wild 20s.
😍 Flowers in our Eyes series (cydonic) - 93K, Stucky, aka the house-flipper AU - reread of this lovely, fluffy story where Bucky flips houses and moves in next door to single-dad Steve. [main story is 88K, short sexy standalone epilogue is 5K)
🙂 Bookwyrm (KL Noone) - short story; the town witch protector goes to check out the big bad dragon who’s decided to settle there
😍 a soldier (who carries a mighty sword) (ghostinthelibrary) - 93K, The Witcher; Geralt/Eskel/Jaskier arranged marriage AU - love to see a polycule instead of a ‘love triangle’ + some nice political chicanery
🙂 Madison Square Murders (Momento Mori #1) (C.S. Poe) - still love a Poe mystery & characters and I’ll definitely be returning to Larkin & Doyle. I appreciate that she tried to mitigate having cop protags by having them be cold case & artist, respectively. Don’t love that she again used the ‘one MC’s relationship is bad and ending and this new love will make him realize it’ thing again. But both of those things didn’t outweigh all the rest of the stuff that I absolutely did greatly enjoy about this.
🙂 👂 A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot #1) (Becky Chambers, author; Emmett Grosland, narrator) - novella - no plot, just vibes and tea and some existential thinking on the meaning of existence.
😍 The Librarian!Bitty Fics series (marswithghosts) - 156K, Check Please! (107 main fic, zimbits; 48K, parse/omc) - I stayed up too late reading the main fic. It's solid characterizations & a good plot with just enough believable angst and then, of course, a happy ending. Mad respect to this author because I normally am not big on kent parson but here I was, totally invested in this iteration's emotional growth!
😍 Our House, In The Middle Of Our Street (Clocks) - 51K, Cherik - no powers AU - "Charles is a social worker who fosters troubled kids, and one day he meets Erik, an ex-convict, who reluctantly agrees to stay for only a while, but ends up staying for good and helping Charles to raise the kids. Awkward parenting ensues."
💖 +220K of shorter fic so shorter work shout out 💖
Love Runs Wild (DevilDoll) - Teen Wolf: Sterek, 9K - reread of one of the best TW fics out there, in the legendary Neckz ‘n Throats ‘verse.
Clover, and Other Beloved Weeds (chaya) - The Witcher: Geraskier, 26K & Moss on River Stones (chaya) - The Witcher: Geraskier, 9K - a collection of vignettes and a final chapter in the lovely & gentle Flora series
