#Eile

Okay, I have watched Blood Origins and I will probably say more about it some other time, but.

I mean- I'M-

Jaskier: *singing about the conjunction and using specific names*

Everyone: “There goes Jaskier, making his characters again”

Vesemir (who knows the actual story of the conjunction and how Witchers were made): “bitch what the ACTUAL FUCK?”

Larkstone = fanon Geraskier

If you have ever shipped Geraskier in your life I need to put y'all on Larkstone. When I say watching Blood Origins will be the best 3.5 hours you will spend watching Witcher content I mean it.

Eile is a master assassin who yields twin knives from the Raven clan and left in order to pursue her true passion of music and become a bard

Her instrument of choice is a nyckelharpa and get this -- she goes by the pseudonym of Lark. That's right. The entire show she is known as "Lark" the former assassin turned bard.

Her music also reaches the entire continent and her song "Black Rose" is what inspires the low born elves to rise up against the high born

She is genuinely hitting so many of the marks that people look for with fanon Jaskier content but it's CANON and I love her.

And then Fjall Stoneheart is in the Dog clan of elves and is tasked with protecting the royal family but ends up getting banished after being caught having sex with Princess Merwyn who he is supposed to just be guarding.

Fjall ends up becoming the first witcher.

And when I say their relationship has so many things people look for in fanon Geraskier:

Fjall growls like actually growls

his eyes turn black whenever he feels strong emotion (including while him and Eile are having sex)

Eile calms Fjall down by singing to him

SHE CALMS HIM DOWN BY SINGING TO HIM

They fight together beautifully and a lot of their arc is learning to work together while they fall in love

the two of them travel together

they literally have a scene where they are sitting in a clearing at night looking up at the stars what more do you want

I just need all the Geraskiers to please go watch Blood Origin and become as obsessed with these two as me.

i would die for her

[spilledbutter]

the look on their faces the first time they share a kind touch

[d-andilion]

can i. can i just.

they say witchers can't feel but the first thing the first witcher did - before he killed, before he destroyed, before anything - the very first thing he did was love.

This is one of the fics open for claiming...

The Witcher: Blood Origin #144 Title: my head's not yours (it's mine) Pairing/Characters: Fjall Stoneheart, Eile | The Lark. Fjall Stoneheart/Eile | The Lark. Rating: Explicit | E Warnings/Tags: Graphic Violence, Major Character Death, Non-con/Rape consent issues and resulting sexual violence as a major theme. not depicted in graphic detail but extremely present. canon-typical violence, death, and torture in medical experimentation territory. canonical major character death implied but not explored. Summary: a character study of fjall stoneheart resulting from textual analysis of the witcher: blood origin! mostly canon-compliant and focused on the consent issues between fjall and merwyn as well as his shifting opinion of her with regards to his connection to eile. very introspective, extending from pre-canon to near the end of show canon.

The list of remaining fics and the link to sign up are below!

Their birds are born in a nest of pain

One thing I loved with BO is the constant parallels and the mirror playing between Éile and Jaskier. And there is one sequence that I found great that came back in my mind recently. It held a parallel I didn't think of before.

When Éile is trapped in her memory, in the mist, we saw what created the Lark in the first place. Hence the bird she extracts from her entrails after seing her younger self committed atrocities for her clan. She used music as a fugue state. And later she became bard when she couldn't bear it anymore.

The Lark is the name she gave herself to cut with her traumatic past but it's born from it.

As for Jaskier... He became The Sandpiper after the traumatic events of The Seat of Friendship. We still don't know what he saw nor how he survived. But when he spoke about it briefly to Yennefer, his eyes couldn't lie. And his voice slightly broke when he referred to the endless circle of hate and the horrors that will touch anyone that would be seen as the other...

Éile's bird made her a bard. Jaskier's bird made him a protector. They rose out from their pain and trauma to make them grow.
