What

Vernon Roche needs to get around more. This event seeks to remedy that.

There are two options you can pick from, a more traditional version with three prompt choices, and one with a specified type of ship.

You don't have to follow them in the order of which they are numbered. You may also create your own prompts and if you have ideas of your own that you would like to execute, do edit the cards as you deem please.

When

The participation period is from Sat, 22 March to Mon, 22 April 2024.

How

ONE | Get Your Card Click this link to get to the templates and cards.

Alternatively you may message the blog with details of your pairings or prompts of choice, and we can generate a card for you. It may take up to 3 days for you to get a response.

TWO | Create Once your creation is finished, be sure to tag this blog @vrsos so that your post can be reblogged. Do tag responsibly.

THREE | Join the Collection An AO3 collection will be created in the near future. If you provide a link to the work in your account, it will be added to the collection.

Rules

For the purposes of this event, the characters involved have to be sentient. A ship with Roche and his hat will not count, BUT if his hat comes to life, it’s fine.

The relationship between the characters must be romantic, sexual or both.

For ships that involve 3 or more parties, it will count as long as 1 of the characters (excluding Roche) fulfils the criteria.

The content you create must be original. Evidence of plagiarism will result in a blacklist.

Be a decent person. If you don’t like a ship, skip over it and move on. Anyone who harrasses another creator or leaves negative comments about their choice of pairing, will be blacklisted.

Witcher Whump Week 2024 is over!

Take a look at the AO3 collection, we have 22 works (and not all were promo'ed here on Tumblr) - there's rarepairs, all the canons and everything from whump to hurt/comfort!

A big thank you to everyone who participated, and everyone who reblogged, said nice things in the tags, commented on the fics! I had a great time - this was the third Witcher Whump Week and I am always so happy to see people engage and create.

Doing an event is stressful sometimes (...what if nobody participates? omg why did I put the deadline THERE? Why didn't I come up with prompts when I had plenty of time??), so thank you all so much for making it worth it, I'm excited already for the next time.

2025 will be Witcher Wheel of the Year again, and 2026 will have the next whump week.

[witcherwheeloftheyear]

Witcher Whump Week 2024

A fandom week focusing on whumping The Witcher characters, open to all kinds of fan created content. It will run on Tumblr, Pillowfort and Dreamwidth from 19th to 26th February 2024.

Each day has different prompts, and you are invited to create content based on those prompts: fics, art, moodboards, playlists - whatever strikes your fancy.

You can whump any The Witcher character from any canon. OCs are welcome.

Moderators: Bookscorpion

Whump with one or more The Witcher characters must be the focus of your creation

Pure whump/hurt no comfort and hurt/comfort are all welcome

NSFW is welcome, as is any trope or theme

No upper or lower word count limit for writers

Collaborations are welcome

All canons are welcome - games, TV shows, books

Please be kind to each other - no bashing or kinkshaming ect.

There is an AO3 collection here and the additional tag is Witcher Whump Week (The Witcher)

Prompts can be interpreted in any way you wish - get creative and have fun! You can create for one prompt, or all of them or anything in between.

Crossroads

He looks so young, he thinks.

“How old are you, again?” Geralt asks, the question out of his mouth before he can think better of it. […]

“I’ll be nineteen next spring,” he says, in a tone that implies I’m old enough to travel the world with a monster killer, thank you very much.

Geralt doesn’t even remember being nineteen.

WWOTY Yule Prompt Fill

His consciousness dips in and out, mouth thick and dry as if stuffed full of cotton. His shoulders ache like they never have in his life. In an attempt to get his bearings he twists his wrists, tries to stand, but all that does is spark agony up and down his useless arms. Dandelion sways on his feet as he fights for understanding.

It comes back to him in fits and starts. Rience. Running. Slipping. Being caught. Struggling. Being hit.

The world spins. He fights back panic. Geralt will surely come save him. Surely.

The Mess Left Behind

As per usual, Jaskier winters at Oxenfurt Academy. He's done with following bastard Witchers and travelling the Path. He's settled in his professorial duties, and he's content. He is. But, well… It's not easy to leave this part of his life behind. His reputation precedes him and he finds himself taking care of a Witcher he's never met before. Jaskier realises that, despite his best intentions, maybe he's not so done with all that Witchery business after all.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Beltane May 1st: Belleteyn

Yennefer has a beautiful May Night with her lover. Who the lover is? I had one specific Witcher character in mind when I wrote the fic, but you might fancy a different pairing.

Friendship/Romance/Humour (Words: 4,160; Chapters: 2/2)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Lammas August 1st: Of Bairns and Banes

It is a beautiful night, fair summer weather, the air balmy, the sky clear and sprinkled with stars. The perfect night for the village’s traditional Lammas celebrations, the feast of first fruits. However, unlike in the neighbouring villages and the years past, there are no bonfires here today. No corn dolls to be burned and bulls or horses to be sacrificed as an offering to the gods. No ritual dances or athletic competitions are held or blueberry loaves baked in the village bake house. This year there is no matchmaking and rolling about in the hay. For the village is in mourning, the villagers terrified. And very much in need of a Witcher. Lucky for them, one has just arrived.

This is the story of Cahir’s first solo monster hunt. Spooky Adventure (Words: 2,977; Chapters: 1/1)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Mabon September 22nd: Her Idea of Fun

“Finished!” Angoulême exclaims and starts to dance circles around the victim of her wager. “I bet nobody’d take him for a Nilfgaardian now!” she adds with a raucous cackle that reminds strongly of a goose on fisstech …

Cahir loses a bet and Angoulême is having fun. Friendship/Humour (Words: 444; Chapters: 1/1)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

*****

The Work of the Sun

A long drought is plaguing Nilfgaard and the Lord Chancellor suggest an ancient rite to the Emperor, hoping to end the dry years.

******

A friendly Ghost

When her father's life is threatened Ciri asks a friend for help. Even as it means dragging him onto a Midsummer Ball.

A Kind of Magic

Eskel had a wild suspicion where Geralt was headed, but he was far from sure. The only thing he knew was that Geralt was not headed to some wine tasting with Count Whatshisname. Geralt has a secret, and Eskel wants to know

***** running towards nothing

Shivering with cold, Jarina sat up. She froze at the sight of a figure huddled at the foot of another tree. It wore a leather cloak with the hood up, the beaky mask at its feet, the goggles glinting in what little light there was. Lost in the woods, Jarina meets a stranger

****** After the Rain

The rain never stops, and while they make their way up through the hills, small rivulets run past them and springs start flooding the path. By midday, Ciri trudges after Roach with heavy feet, her head down, water dripping from her cloak. Geralt and Ciri have a miserable day on their way to Kaer Morhen, and Geralt needs to cheer Ciri up

******

The Taste of Summer

It has not escaped Regis that Geralt has a sweet tooth. He hadn't noticed back when he had been travelling with the Hansa, but then there had not been much chance to indulge. Here at Corvo Bianco, there is ample opportunity. Blueberry buns are an excellent way to say I love you.

******

To Have a Life

The small altar to Melitele seemed just as abandoned as the house and garden had been. The weathered wood of the small statue and the roof supposed to protect it from the worst of the rain were green with moss. Spiders had made their home under the roof, decorating Melitele's face with a glittering veil. Eskel makes an offering

******

Join the Dance

The fast music and the other dancers carried them forward, and Cerys was happy to let Jutta lead and swing her around, watching her usual serious expression melt away into the biggest grin, her green eyes sparkling in the light of the fire. Cerys and Jutta celebrate Litha, and each other.

******

In the Shadows

"I was just thinking about the day you came back to Corvo. And how glad I am that you stayed." Smiling at Regis, Geralt let his mug touch the one Regis was holding, in lieu of the kiss he couldn't share with him here. He would make up for it later. Geralt and Regis share an evening of celebrations on Beltane, and make their own entertainment

******

Spring's Secret

Cerys turned away from the path, down a much smaller one trampled into the snow and already covered with a fluffy layer of fresh flakes from yesterday. It crunched under their feet, almost the only sound now that they were away from the sea and out of the wind. At the cusp of Jutta's hearing was the waterfall, quieted down from a roar to a trickle. Jutta and Cerys venture out into the cold, to share a secret

*********************

An Overdue Gathering

After avoiding the subject for several years, Lambert is finally ready to introduce his husband to his family. If only he didn't feel like it was such a bad idea.

******

Held Close in the Darkness

After Voltehre's return, Geralt, Eskel, and Lambert are determined to help him remember how each of them prefer to play.

******

Baked Treats

While waiting for a new guest to arrive, Geralt decided to bake some treats, to pass the time.

Spending some extra time with Gweld was only a bonus.

******

And All I've Learned of Love, is This

Lambert met Voltehre on his first day at a new school in October, and the thing that would always stick out to him was the hand that reached out to him, and never let go.

5 times Voltehre took Lambert's hand, and 1 time they never let go.

******

Fires at Dawn

In the far-reaches of Voltehre's fogged-glass memories, there was a half-remembered picture of something like a ritual, and he knew that this was the dawn that it was supposed to be performed.

Each piece of paper had a word or phrase scribbled on it; small hopes, dreams, and wishes for the future. Not just for himself, but for those who had taken him in so readily, and those who had been so important in his memories.

But the most important of his wishes, though those who had taken him in could never seem to understand, was his wish to be reunited with his other half.

******

Willow Canes

When Eskel decides to be naughty, it falls to Letho to punish him. It's a good thing that there are so many willow trees around, to make a switch from.

******

Scandal of the Witchers' Initiation

Among the witchers, there's a bit of an open secret. Whenever a trainee earns their medallion, their older siblings help them through an initiation of sorts, at the place of power. For Lambert and Voltehre, though, their initiation came a bit later than most.

******

Braiding and Bread

After a long morning of work, Aubry could think of no better way to relax than to spend some time taking care of Lambert's hair.

Apricity

Trevor spends his first winter at Kaer Morhen. Though the weather is cold, the keep is far warmer than he'd hoped for.

Scars Remain

As soon as Eskel entered the room he was taken away by Geralt's bare back, striped with scars, muscles stretched upwardly taut. Every breath moved his ribs and shifted the tableau. It was beautiful and horrific. The things other men had done to Geralt. Eskel leaves his own marks on Geralt
