He didn’t come back

Friends come back

Art inspiration and reference this artist has a really impressive skill with color and I love their painterly style. This was a challenge for me to see if I could mimic the way they paint and I’m really proud of how it turned out.

An Offer You Can’t Refuse Update!

Read the new chapter here.

Teaser:

Please, no!

Running footsteps echoed down the alley over the sound of panting breaths.  The man looked over his shoulders with obvious panic and gasped out a terrified noise when he saw the hulking shape still behind him.

He skidded around the corner and barely avoided falling over a pile of forgotten pallets and older trash.  “Help me!”

There was no response.

All around him, the city was quiet in the twilight hours before the work day began and after most club goers had already limped home.  Whatever hope he’d had that there might be a few people closing up was lost as soon as he realized there were no cars in the parking lot and the lights were off.  The buildings around him were too rundown for anyone to dare investigating any cries for help.  Even the faded street lights seemed designed to add to the potential for violence.

Something snagged one of his shoes and he went down hard, bleating in pain and terror.  The skin around his knees and palms split as he hit the ground and he could feel blood drip onto the ground below.  When he tried to get back to his feet, his ankles buckled under his weight.

Behind him, a dark shape blocked the faint light from the street.

It was obviously massive even in the dark.  Baleful red eyes seemed to burn with a terrible power that was backlit by the dark fur covering it.  Massive paws moved over the concrete with easy grace, not bothering to run after its prey.  Instead, it seemed to enjoy letting his terror grow.

“P–please, I don’t–” the man pleaded, crawling back on hands and knees.  “J-just leave me alone!”

The wolf made a show of opening its mouth to display the vicious curve of its teeth and continued stalking forward.

Rough brick halted his stumbling retreat and the man sobbed wretchedly as he realized there was nowhere else for him to run.  In his chest, his heart raced, recognizing the end prowling closer.  His hands scrabbled against the ground for something to defend himself.

“Please,” he whispered.

The wolf lunged.

New Fic Alert

Hey, do people still follow me here for my fics? Idk what the tumblr algorithm looks like these days but if you see this and you like pirates, geraskier, morally gray characters, and more pirates: I’ve continued my one-shot fic Under the Black Sun in the moon bleeds red (for those who fear the dead)

If you read UtBS and are like “but wait didn’t Jaskier die at the end of that?” you might notice that I’ve removed the “Major Character Death” tag from it and added “temporary character death” to the new fic. So hah! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

That was mean of me, please read my fic. I promise it’ll have a happy ending.

Please?

What started with “coin is the noise a french duck makes” quickly evolved into “Geralt acting like the goose in the game”. And so, behold….

it’s a beautiful day, and he’s a horrible, horrible witcher.

(drawing like this is super nice, but smoothing the edges takes FOREVER)

Thanks to all who encouraged me to do this ♥ you’re the worst and I love you

Jaskier is the only one out of the three who speaks French since it was a very popular language for rich people to have their children learn in those times and when Ciri realizes Jaskier can not only understand her but *reply* she breaks her silence after a few weeks of living with them and talks and talks and talks. She chatters about everything and Jaskier is eagerly giving her the communication she so desperately needed while also translating simultaneously for yennefer and Geralt who also want to get in on the conversation and it’s the first time all four of them have been able to communicate. Geralt keeps telling Jaskier to tell Ciri things about when he was traveling home with her and yennefer tells Jaskier to tell Ciri about the manor and how they’ll take care of Ciri and Jaskier is excited but also getting overwhelmed and snaps “why don’t you two learn French so you can talk to her?” And thus begins Jaskier’s French classes for his partners and English classes for ciri

oooh okay so i’m thinking Victorian era or maybe a bit later, early 1900s. Jaskier belongs to a very high society family, old money. Geralt is the stableboy/groundskeeper, and young teenage Jaskier is just fascinated by him. They have a quick but deeply-burning relationship, entirely secret, of course. His parents and peers would never approve. It has to end, though, when Jaskier goes off to university—Jaskier promises to come back and marry Geralt, but Geralt doubts that it’ll actually happen. Either he’ll find someone else at uni and fall head over heels in love like he does, or he’ll come back to his parents trying to arrange a more respectable marriage. Their last goodbye devolves into a fight—why can’t Jaskier see the inevitable? Why can’t Geralt believe in hope, just a little?

Jaskier leaves the next morning, absolutely miserable, but spitefully determined to have the absolute best time at uni (and probably sleep with more people than he can count, all in an effort to forget Geralt). All is going well, or as well as it can—until Jaskier receives a telegram from his parents. They’ve found a wife for him—she’s new money, and a little unconventional—believes in such silly things as women’s rights—but with rumors of his sexual deviance getting around, she’s the best they could do.

Yennefer and Jaskier are married in the summer, quite unhappily. He’s being all but forced into it—the threat of being cast out, penniless and homeless, hangs over his head. She’s using him as a means to an end—women have so little power in this world, and she’s determined to take as much of it as she can get, even if that means marrying a strange man to take advantage of him and his money and status.

Jaskier’s parents give the (un)happy couple quite the wedding gift—an estate of their own, complete with staff. Complete with a stableman. Complete with Geralt, actually, because the universe hates Jaskier, apparently. A few very miserable months ensue, where Geralt pines after Jaskier and Jaskier pines after Geralt and Yennefer starts sleeping with Geralt because her husband is too depressed to get it up. Everyone feels pretty horrible about the situation, really.

It all comes to a head when Jaskier, heading home from the pub and too drunk to drive safely, wraps his car around a tree. He’s in pretty bad shape—both Geralt and Yennefer show up to the hospital, though. They’ve both realized—neither could bear to lose one third of this strange relationship they’ve found themselves in. They discuss it while Jaskier recovers from emergency surgery—perhaps they could make this strange arrangement work, so that Geralt and Jaskier don’t have to pine from afar anymore and Geralt and Yennefer can sleep together without feeling guilty and Yennefer and Jaskier can stop resenting each other for having exactly what the other wants.

Jaskier almost thinks he’s died and gone to heaven when he wakes up. He refuses to believe it at first—an end to all their problems, just like that? But Geralt and Yennefer are dead serious. They fall into a new rhythm, once Jaskier is out of the hospital, and actually find themselves flourishing. They still have to keep up appearances, of course—functionally Yennefer and Jaskier are a very devoted husband and wife, who are so very kind and friendly to their staff. It’s only at night that it’s safe to fall into each others’ arms and love freely.
