title: the witcher and the kraken of hate by molanna
word count: 4k
ciri&geralt; ciri has a nightmare so geralt tells her a bedtime story.
i love the way the bedtime story unfolds with ciri’s interruptions and geralt’s attempt to teach her something in a way she can understand but isn’t too simplified or talking down to her.
excerpt:
"Tell me a story. Like Moussack used to do when I couldn't sleep," Ciri pleads, looking at him with big green eyes. "But not a silly children's story. A Witcher story. Please, Geralt."
"Hmm." He knits his brow. A Witcher story. There are so many, and most of them are scary and bloody. But, when he was a young boy, he and his brothers had loved it when Vesemir told them stories of his or other Witchers' deeds, the bloodier and scarier, the better, and it had not harmed them in any way. Why should Ciri be different? An exciting monster story might take her mind off the hated black knight and her own trauma, at least for a while. Maybe she can learn something from the story, too?
"Alright, a story it is," Geralt says. "A story of a terrible monster and a Witcher, a true story. That agreeable?"
Ciri nods vigorously and moves to the side a little to make more space for Geralt. He settles against the headrest, his legs stretched out on the bed, and Ciri snuggles up to him with a bright smile, her nightmare almost forgotten.

title: social cues by kuwdora
length: 3:13
twn season 1, geralt/renfri, geralt/jaskier, geralt/yennefer, geralt&ciri
the way this video pieces together these four critical relationships and how they build on each other for geralt is absolutely brilliant. the way geralt fights for ciri after loosing or pushing everyone else away is just !!! heartbreaking and perfect
