With the Warrior Nun Commentfic Fest going on, I've put some fic projects on hold in order to focus on writing fills (and on sending a prompt here and there -- I do it anon a lot of the time because when an idea hits I'm away from the computer and not in the mood to log in through my phone 10 out of 10 times, lol).
Still, there's a little handful of stories that came from it and more to come still. I've been archiving them on AO3 with some delay to try and inspire people to check out the fest page (and play along!) but I thought I'd list my entries up until now:
Expectations ( Fest / AO3 ) -- "Not too long ago, Camila herself had been in their very place, surrounded by other anxious rookies, drilled to exhaustion by a very technical, perfect sister Beatrice or a ruthless, demanding sister Lilith." Cam-centric, 836w.
A semblance of normalcy ( Fest / AO3 ) -- Doctor Salvius and Mother Superion have a little dinner date. Doctor Superion, 1953w.
This time might be the last ( Fest / AO3 ) -- The conclusion to war can only ever be one (Camilith drabble).
Needlework ( Fest / AO3 ) -- "She should have grown used to it already, being punctured by Mother Superion’s vicious eyes rather than teased by Suzanne’s as so often she had been before." Shannon/Suzanne, 1916w.
Liquid courage ( Fest / AO3 ) -- Jillian and Mother Superion get a bit drunk together. Doctor Superion, 492w.
Litany in blue ( Fest / AO3 ) -- After Mother Superion is seriously hurt, Dr. Salvius is the one to heal her through unorthodox means. Doctor Superion, 2527w.
English Opening ( Fest / AO3 ) -- Kristian Schaefer, fresh from out the Vatican archives, arranges for a first meeting with Dr. Salvius. Gen, 832w.
There's a bunch of other great stuff by other people to check out, though, so I heartily recommend taking a look around on the fest page!

Tumblr media
GERALT OF RIVIA WAS IN A RUT.
You were sure he was after being fucked into oblivion by the witcher for countless of times already; taking a lot of orgasms in just about eight hours? He was lucky that he was a mutant. However, in your side? It was unfortunate because your stamina was weaker than his.
Your poor punani has been overworked and wrecked again. Lungs seem to be incapacitated, dangerously reaching the critical level for accepting Geralt's wishes; another round of ceaseless bliss in which you certainly didn't defy. Pants and wheezes were muddled against the mattress as you shoved your face on it, vigorously being burrowed from behind.
Here you thought; feeling mighty and confident that you could take and last for how long his enhanced self would.
Technically, you were wrong. Utterly wrong.
Was it round twenty-five already? Thirty? You may never know because every time Geralt finishes, his girth somehow magically becomes stone hard again like he never spilled himself inside you. If only he wasn't sterile, you were probably about to get pregnant with little witchers somehow based on how he always milks you in; like you were his pet, letting you take it good.
The white wolf's libido was overly developed as well. As you were told by the man, himself. He could go on for hours, days and even weeks, nailing you repeatedly until you have no energy to comprehend what was happening, and you were sure that his enhancement with the desires he had was a perk and also a disadvantage for your weak self who had her virginity taken just days ago.
Your sexual experiences are being expanded and learned by Geralt, not knowing before that you had a size kink of being choked in his own weight above yours, baptizing every nook and space in their home like animals in heat and being treated like you were such a fragile little thing before being corrupted; tainting your once chastised soul.
The witcher was a person who had given you a different outlook in life. Bringing you to a wonderland in the midst of being railed repeatedly; consistent with his rigorous, shameless pounding from the back. Brusque. Sharp. Perfect for the angle that hits the perfect spot, polishing your hole that has sent you ripples and waves of glory.
Geralt's moans were withdrawn, holding back those sounds of pleasure from ponderously watching his girth push and slither inside your heat. His mouth tightly shut and thick eyebrows scrunched in rapture. Aureate eyes intensely concentrated on his hard cock slowly drilling back, keeping his bulbous head in before slowly drawling back like he like watching you be filled with his girth; admiring how you were stretched around his hardened cock.
He'd felt your body intensely tremble beneath his.
Your knees were quivering with every plunge. Warm drizzles of your cunt leaking with a mixture of his fluid and yours together; like art combined with a color that creates a new one. The room smelled like sex and sweat with a scent of fresh grass because of how the windows were wide opened.
Nobody would see you both in such a debauched position, right? you've thought that when Geralt has lowered you down against the mattress, his weight crushing and pinning you down, quickly getting to his job; sticking his girth inside of you like he never would get tired of doing so after basically baptizing the hallway through the second floor.
Elbows began to feel sore. A desperate whine began to gurgle from your dry throat. Hand tightly grabbing onto one of his that laid on the curvatures of your hips, dragging you back to his swollen girth with every shove; filling you over and over like how you deserved because you've been a good girl. Every time he did, Geralt never misses the spot that could bring you into another restless, writhing orgasm.
The filthy sound of skin slapping on skin came with icherous slimy caresses of your nectar coating each other's carnal greed. Noise came with his bedpost hitting the wall like a maddened gorilla raging out of its cage, when all of a sudden; you've heard Kolby's strange bark that seem to come from the first floor, alarming you both that his family has already came back. Yet, here you were, splayed below the witcher and still getting driven to his extremes.
Geralt pulled his hand away from the bed post, leaving a print and a crack of his hand against the wood. His fingers slid through your dangling breasts, palms groping your teat as he began to knead onto it like a cat trying to suckle from his mother; claws out as he tweaked your sensitive nipple in one breast to the other. Simultaneously changing hands as he continued to reach you both to the edge of Nirvana.
Then, you've heard laughter and complaining downstairs.
"Geralt," you started with a mewl, your body being rocked from behind, the sheets thoroughly disheveled from your tiring day activities. His hand that fondled your teat trailed up your body; while the other glided down for what throbbing nub that was needed attention for another release.
His palm gently met your mouth when you've began to moan from his fingers touching your clit, rubbing and circling it the right, pleasuring way while he went on with his ceaseless ramming.
"Hnnng," you whimpered, voice muffled from his large, calloused hand that covered your mouth; hushing you from any noise that could echo out of the room.
The way he was manhandling you does it. From the moment he tried shushing you up, your heat began to clench around him. Your body squirming and thrashing under his skin. Weakened from the sudden action as it made you tremble; feeling the coil beginning to snap with just a few more jabs.
More thuds and unfathomable complaints echoed outside the room. With Jaskier finally knowing what caused the commotion that he somehow managed to be in. Geralt didn't seem to be bothered about the fact that their table has been wrecked; though, the bard might say otherwise.
His plowing slackened when you’ve felt him breath heavily from behind, 
"Shhhh. Quiet down, midget." he clasped his palms tighter on your mewling mouth; hearing his breathless grunts above you was making you squirm in his hold. It didn't take you another lewd moan when Geralt's thick index and middle finger skid in between the pillows of your lips, an act of pacifying your noise down which has gotten an elicit of your juices flowing down your thighs, soaking you more than ever. But, you never did deliberate to suck on those fingers like how your mind has told you.
The smutty action was enough for him to briefly glance down at you, engrossed and captivated by a never expected bustles from his naive, greenhorn of a woman. 
Another weakened moan was muffled beneath the palm that clasped your mouth. Your fingers trying to wrench his own away from slightly pinching on your sensitive clit, dragging you to where you wanted.
Neverland. Nirvana. Heaven. Where ever you could experience bliss.
Or basically Geralt's bed because you were currently being brought to the edge of the rainbows.
He was persistent and continued rubbing on your nub, his thick, long fingers thoroughly drenched from your arousal. 
"Ugh---Hmm. fuck." the white haired witcher deeply grunted and moaned, his jutting hips bottoming out as he continued his desperate, urgent drives. Thrusts turning reckless. Panting breaths like dogs in heat; embracing every bit of his urgency to reach the floating clouds.
Your real name has slipped out of his tongue, sounding so lewd which has taken you over the edge. Knees began to shake as the high took over. Muscles clenching and also your cunt tightly choking his girth to spill his seed, urging him to thoroughly coat your insides. Another loud breathless grunt left his ajar lips; the sweat dripping down his temples as it also drenched his chest from all the activities. His heartbeat was running miles after miles, chasing to catch yours.
"G-Geralt, Geralt, Geralt!" you've salaciously cried out with every sloppy thrusts in the midst of having a muscle spasm; choking in the blast of euphoria when he'd took his hand off your mouth, grabbing onto yours which has been holding onto the headboards for dear life. Hence, as the witcher pulled your hand away; he'd done the unexpected.
Geralt of Rivia has sweetly peppered the back of your hands with honeyed kisses to soothe your convulsion; treating you like he wasn't fucking you to oblivion nor corrupting you from behind.
You've heard his breath hitch. The way he'd dropped his large hand on the mattress over your small ones, gripping onto it hard; you knew he came. He'd panted heavily above you, the new position being surrounded by his gigantic warmth. Your juices soaking your inner thighs as his load shot inside you. All warm and cozy; giving you a fuzzy feeling inside your chest that you couldn't explain.
He never pulled out until he was finished. You were so full of him, his seed dripping out of your cunt when his semi-flaccid cock dragged out of your overused pussy, telling him how he’d filled you more than he planned to. Your knees eventually buckled and lost its will to be useful for you; your face down on the pillow, running short of breath as you planted over the tousled sheets.
Tumblr media
Geralt laid on the bed beside you, his large body built turned to you with an arm tucked below his head. Basking in all his glory and sweat with amber eyes solely worried for your weary form. You sounded like you were wheezing as he hovered over to pull the blankets over your waist, shielding you over the cold, crisp wind of the afternoon dew. Your whole body coated in the satiny sliver of your sweat combined with his and the witcher couldn't help but take in the view that he longed to be habituated once again before you came along.
Did he...actually break you while being drilled? he silently thought at the back of his tousled, half tied chalky white hair.
"Midget?" He softly muttered, using an elbow to peer down before you. Aureate eyes lingering a little bit longer. His fingers extending to graze along the line of sweat that covered your spine before reconsidering, hands ought to brush your disheveled hair away from your face, taking his time as he glided his fingers down through the side of your face.
Tumblr media
He doted on the spent image of your sprawled body in the middle of his bed. Your heart turning more warmer than it ever could when you've felt him watching you over, the blankets glazing atop of your skin as you've closed your eyes, trying to steady back your breathing.
"I'm...fine. Just...spent. Let me...breathe," you breathlessly whispered.
"Hmm."
His faint, vibrating hum slowly calmed the fluttering butterflies flapping their wings inside your stomach. He earnestly cast his eyes over you. The thick pad of his fingers tracing along the hairs of your arm; giving you a shiver, padding down till the tips of yours before strikingly filling in the gaps of your fingers with his. Such a simple action making your heart feel snug with a hint of palpitation from the sudden, unusual gesture from the white wolf.
Well, he was certainly learning.
Tumblr media
You've taken a peek from under the flat fuzz of your pillows; seeing amiable, tired, tender eyes. Rough, large palms delicately scraping through your soft ones, entwined amongst the unkempt silk of sheets from the result of your passionate tupping.
With your eyes still shut, a jaded admission was sent to the latter; assuming things from your negative state of mind. This always happens in the movies, right? the small voice in the back of your mind stated. After all the blissful moments, complication and problems tries to hinder over the blithe that wanted you to believe that this was a much of a miracle to happen.
It was subtly telling you that your presence in their world had a time limit because you didn't belong to their world in the first place. Salt came pinching down your heart at the sudden realization of that; getting a gist of feeling by choosing to live in their world forever, there were instances that would get you coming back from your dimension. Every felicitious moment feeling like it was all temporary and a fleeting scene in your mind.
The idea struck like a lightning. You didn't belong to their world; nor do you fit in.
Such a change of heart that you wanted to scurry home since the first day you've arrived; thinking that everything was just a dream or a nightmare that couldn't wake you up. But, in this exact moment; you felt like not wanting to go home.
"Why do I feel like you wouldn't come back after your hunt?" you weakly muttered; brushing off the infectious thought that could bring the felicity down; pulling yourself closer to him. You've tossed the bad shadows trying to lure you in as you've focused on the golden light that Geralt could let you see through. His warm breath fanned your face as you heavily sighed out the worry crippling out of your chest.
Tumblr media
"You're overthinking." he deeply rasped, hearing him breath steady; sounding like his declaration had a double meaning. His thumbs brushed over your knuckles as he continued to reassure your troubled self, "---I never leave nor would I plan to. My family is my home,"
Geralt collected his thoughts, breaking through the spell you've always had to cast him in. Only your exquisite scent being the fire to thaw his walls down. It took him seconds before bluntly saying his next words, making you flutter your eyes open to see him softly smiling back at you. His tone warm, comforting and nesh for your sensitive, soft heart soul.
Tumblr media
"---you are also my home. I'll always come back to you---always will find you,"
Those words that he stunningly said made your heart skip a beat. The cicatrix glowing beneath the sheets without you knowing, ecstatic of what has come out from his lips as a burst of bliss spread right through your chest.
You've felt the adrenaline rush from his sudden admission and change of aura; abruptly making you nail your elbows on the table, repeatedly blinking back at the witcher when you've felt the balmy cloud of warmth spread around your eyes; close enough for you to cry and you languidly leaned down to his very peaceful face to softly give him a kiss on the lips in which he gladly reciprocated.
No. This wasn't sweet nothings where he tries to win over your heart. His words was a declaration of breaking those walls down for you. It was a key for you to come hopping in, an invitation of seeing the real him; his vulnerable side that nobody ever sees.
Hence, this was the first time you've had someone showing you what it felt to be important, needed and cared for. A person with real intentions. Sensations which you never knew it existed or believed that you would ever get to experience such.
Nevertheless, it took you a trip to another dimension just to have it.
Your mouth left his with a euphonious twang. There was no rush to the kiss or any type of greed. Just a succulent sharing of what you wanted him to feel from your quiet response of what he said. It needed no words of approval or even a shedding of your tears; erasing the worries away if you started bawling your eyes out from his secrets that he whispered. His thick brows furrowed in a questionable expression, intently eyeing your dewy peepers staring back at him. Utterly fond. The witcher feeling as if there was profound affection deep within your eyes as you tried to shield them over with that twinkling gaze of yours.
He knew what he was seeing or feeling from you. But, he chose to ignore as of the moment.
"Jaskier's fond of you," he abruptly admitted, downright apathetic; his gravel tone expressing a mixture of interest and a little bit of doubt, not for you but for himself.
That simple display of what you've visibly felt made your heart soften a lot more than it ever could. Finding it hard to believe that this person slash mutant in front of you also had his own issues, sounding diffident with just conferring about this surprising fact he noticed from his friend who seemed to be catching feelings for you that certainly was quite difficult to believe.
You were biting the tips of your tongue from saying anything further more, pulling back from driving too fast that maybe Geralt was falling behind.
"Jaskier? Your Jaskier? The bard who always tries to ruin my day? you’re hallucinating, Geralt." you wanted to snort from his accusation.
Geralt has given you a dirty look, appearing to look like he has issues with you that he didn't want to expand as he kept his silence and continued to send a grimace. Was he hallucinating? Were he hallucinating when he'd read those words upon your lips hours ago? Was your endearment just a slip of your tongue? A simple caught up in the heat of the moment?
Was he also just hallucinating when you’ve called him ‘love’?
"Am I, really?" the witcher stated flat, sending a displeased hum as he subtly played with the softness of your fingers clutched to his bigger ones.
Your eyes turned wide from his deadpan, "What did I do? That banter sounded sarcastic, kitty!"
The latter slowly blinked, dragging a sigh as his baritone timbre turned stern and also meek no matter how hard he tried to cover it up from the roughness that he wanted it to sound like, you could read between the lines and sure enough, he was self-effacing from his friend who was also fond of you.
Tumblr media
"Do...you like the bard?" he hesitatingly trailed off. The question ending with a pause as it sounded completely unforthright. You've given him a tender beam; child like and masking with nothing but innocence, affection and understanding, "Go on. I'm listening. Tell me what's on your mind," you started, seeing his tight lipped mouth shut. Those amber eyes briefly looking away from you,
"---Come on, please? Let me understand and see through the good heart that I've always believed in,"
Geralt gave it a moment. Exactly a minute as you've accepted the tranquil silence with him. Such silence that you have never imagined to be so comforting because back in your apartment, the stillness was eerie and cold; imagining hands trying to take your soul away from surviving a life by working in another country where you had no one but you.
"You're...significant to me." his glowing amber eyes turned heartfelt, shooting warmth through your skin and chest, "---you are a lot to handle. An unorthodox in my dimension. Yet, despite that, you're the havoc I didn't know I needed,"
Tumblr media
"You're calling me chaotic. How sweet of you," you deadpanned, snorting from his metaphors that got you successfully rolling your eyes back at him.
"Your existence brought me sheer confusion about you. But, I'd rather have that befuddlement than to not be with you,"
Destiny brought you to him. Those assumptions he'd taken into consideration was now taken into account. Thus, destiny just needed this to not fuck it up. It shouldn't because he much rather not imagine how it would happen nor how he would be able to accept such fate laid before him. 
"Jaskier's...a friend---he's important to me," he continued, feeling your other hand fall onto the side of his face; soft fingers tracing along the scar on his forehead and cheekbones with that glimmer in your eyes that make him want to give you another kiss; readable in your peepers was the acceptance he never knew he needed so badly, "---No matter how annoying he is. He's still my companion. A real...friend. I've seen how comfortable you are with him, saw how compatible you were with the bard,"
You've stopped brushing your fingers along his marks. Your free hand sluggishly propping below your chin as you've peered down. A small grin curling your lips, "When have you been a love guru? Does this version of you come up with a graphic chart that tells how many percentages do I seem to be compatible with Jaskier?"
He kept silent, staring straight into your eyes with a lukewarm expression; not understanding your references.
You've given him a faint raise of your brow, skeptically looking at him with an amused flicker of your peepers, "You've seen us that night. Explains why Jaskier was ranting about the door you've broken,"
Geralt kept his mouth tightly shut, shortly looking away before giving you a pensive response, "I've already fixed it---and you know it was not just about that,"
Pulling your closed fist under your chin, you've tilted your head to the side. Pleased by his tamed reaction as you've leaned closer to his face, adoring Geralt's sublime features that never fails to charm you everyday. His charisma totally knocking your wits out as you could finally see more of his true self.
You started, your words smoothly dancing per word; sounding utmost sincere and in wonder, "People in your world say witchers don't feel emotions," even being disregarded like they weren't humans, you silently added much more to yourself when you paused to talk, "---Well, my witcher is exactly the opposite because you're full of it even though you sound unenthusiastic all the time---comes with the mutations, I guess?"
The soft look in his eyes warmed your soul. Attentive of the stars that seem to float inside those amber pair; looking like he'd caught them for you. He stayed silent, never breaking his gaze away from you nor planning to move away from your body close to his.
"Do you want me to be with the bard?" your question caught him off guard, keenly reading through what your eyes wanted to say. The query sounding like it was just a quip.
"Will that make you happy?"
Tumblr media
Geralt warily asked, completely earnest of what he said that made you bite the inner plump of your lips. There was a long amount of silence, contemplating what made him think that way, even considering the idea of never getting in the way when you'll choose another person than him. Was he even real?
Your smile fell a little at the question, swiftly unwrapping your hands entwined with his which ignited a tight frown from the witcher when he miscalculated the sudden gesture. But, those dreadful thoughts ceased when you've poked his muscular chest, the part where his heart loudly beat beneath the pad of your index finger.
"Will that make...YOU happy?" you slowly emphasized and returned the question, intently gazing above him. When he never answered and stayed quiet, it was the right time to say words that couldn't be kept to yourself. You've forgotten to bite your tongue from saying anything further less.
"---But, YOU make me happy, Geralt of Rivia. Isn't that enough reason to choose you?"
Keen golden eyes deeply gazed into yours, as genuine than it has ever been before; sucking you in and having no chance to escape from the resplendent color of his hues. Geralt moved beneath to help himself by using his elbow, his sudden elevation making you tilt your head back to see him deeply staring, mouth turning into a tight straight line as he rasped.
"Even if it takes for your life back in your world to be taken away from you---fuck." he abruptly stopped in the middle of his sentence, briskly taking a glimpse of the door behind you when he could hear stealthy padded footsteps hiking up the stairs. 
Jaskier.
Geralt sharply sat his back on the headboard. His silvery, unkempt half-tied hair moving as he does so, the white sheets pooling just below his torso. He looked bedraggled and utterly sweaty which made it feel so fulfilling to have him in your presence looking like that. A miraculous snack. You could never have this opportunity back in earth.
Tumblr media
You bit your lips from keeping yourself from grinning, curiously eyeing him as you mused. He deliberately scanned your exposed back, "What? What's happening?"
The latter took no questions and quickly pulled the covers over your shoulders as you laid on your front, slightly elevated with the help of your arms tucked under. He loudly sighed, sitting back on the wooden board. Recognizable footfall thumping louder and closer before a wind up bard barged in the room without knocking or announcing his presence.
"You two!" Jaskier exclaimed, ceasing midway in the middle of the room; looking lost and piqued. His pretty face morphed into a tight frown to find you and Geralt utterly rumpled under the sheets. You tossed a look over your shoulder to see the bard straight up crashing inside like there has been no lock or whatsoever.
Geralt motioned with his hands, palms on either side to show how taken aback he was from his friend who came trudging in like he owned the place. His face hinting with displeasure. Wordlessly gesturing towards the bard with a 'What the fuck?' face.
You skeptically hushed whispers beside the witcher, timidly pulling the covers over your wild head, looking stunned as you exclaimed, "I thought you locked the room? I told you to lock it!---What if it was Cirilla?!---Don't you know what a lock is, Geralt?!"
Despite of your panicking and embarrassed state, he was entirely the opposite as he sounded lackadaisical, going on by glaring at the bard who has his face scrunched in utmost displeasure, "I didn't expect them to arrive home this early." the witcher rolled his eyes from his galled self and sent a scowl towards the bard.
Jaskier raised his brow in disbelief, "Early? We've been gone for 8 hours, Geralt!"
"Well, I thought you'll be gone for at least a day and not barge in our room after we had a 'moment', Bard. A knock would’ve suffice."
Another set of padded footsteps, this time it sounded like this person was merrily hopping through the hallway. Until a ball of Ashen hair peeked through the opened doorway with a short Hirikka standing in the middle of the threshold.
"I'm here---woah!" Cirilla seemed to be knocked out of her boots when she saw you emerging from under the covers, bashfully covering your chest with the sheets, looking mortified by everyone seeing you in that kind of state. You were glaring at the witcher who tossed your off the side for a while as he dealt with his scandalous and crazy family.
"---I knew it!" the princess of Cintra loudly clapped and jumped on her feet. Her excitement immediately dying down when she noticed that you both weren't actually clothed beneath the white blankets. She firmly crossed her arms, her nose scrunching in disgust, "---Also, gross! Please do lock the doors next time!"
She whistled at the flabbergasted Hirikka who was sniffing the whole room in bewilderment; stout stopping before the bard as he sniffed him loudly enough for Jaskier to wave his face off away from his face. Cirilla whistled another, catching the beast's attention and making Geralt wince due to his heightened hearing, "Kolby, let's go! I'm giving you a nice warm bath!" before she shut the door closed behind them when he'd run off towards the princess.
Geralt and Jasker were giving each other stern glares; seeming to be in a challenge where one shouldn't back down despite of how mean it appeared to be like.
Jaskier was the first to talk, beginning his interrogation, "Who ruined the dining table?"
You swallowed the butterflies wanting to fly out of your throat, lifting a shaky finger to point at the witcher who was still as he sat on his side of the bed, "I’m definitely not the person who has superpowers here---It's him," but, Geralt seemed to answer in the same time with you.
"No one."
Jaskier didn't seem to want and take everyone's bullshit as he crossed his arms in front of you both. Geralt's clothes on one hand and yours in the other that made a blush go straight up your whole face, burning the dignity that was left. You wanted to yell from how irresponsible you were for leaving your clothes all around the house when you promised yourself that it'll be fixed after your activity.
You didn't expect Geralt to take eight hours---or you did?----and actually forgot what was needed to remember.
"Oh, no one, Geralt? I suppose this shirt is also owned by no one, considering how unclad you are right now? Hmm. Would this tunic come from the Hirikka then?" the toubadour raised his hand where Geralt's black under tunic has been balled up.
Jaskier dramatically puffed out a sigh, sounding like it was the end of the world for what has welcomed them when they came back from their weekly visit for Cuthbert. He held forth about your sudden shenanigans around the house like a father delivering a tirade.
"We leave for eight hours and this is what you both welcomed us in," pause. "---A broken bloody table where we dine!" Another pause as he threw Geralt's clothes at his face in which he caught it perfectly, "---your clothes everywhere in the house like snakes who shed their skins anywhere they go!"
Lastly, his foot fidgeted on the wooden floors, tapping in anxiety as he remembered that tiny scratch he had seen on his beloved musical instrument, entirely galled from the wound it received like it was his baby.
"---and also my lute---my beloved lute falling on the floors! You've hurt her!"
"We didn't touch your lute," Geralt's response was tepid, lazily blinking back at the enraged bard who stood in the middle of the room.
Jaskier's raised his hands to his hips, raising a finger and opening his mouth, expression wild and ready to send another harangue before back paddling inside his train of thoughts.
He briefly shut his mouth, tilting his head to the side as he wondered out loud, "Oh, maybe the air pushed it to fall. I remembered how I left the windows opened too. However---!"
Geralt cut his verbal onslaught, his gaze narrowing at Jaskier who also didn't back down at sending a nasty lour at the entertained witcher.
"I'll fix whatever is needed to fix, bard. Stop your whining," you've felt the bed squeak and bounce. Geralt slipped his legs out of the sheets, feet plopping down the floors as he heavily sighed. It needed power; manpower for Jaskier to leave the room and Geralt knew he wouldn't leave until he pushes him out of the threshold.
The witcher stood tall and firm, completely au naturel from head to foot like how he have been when he was a baby, stark naked without being moved by the idea that Jaskier was in the same room as you. His bare ass never shaking him off and so does the bard.
"Leave. Out of my chambers, Jaskier."
Geralt sauntered to where he is. Your eyebrows raising in amusement as you've marveled over the witcher in the nude. His beautiful, rugged bare back on show with that A+ rating of his derriere in which you freely tried to memorize inside your head.
Though, you couldn't help but take a glimpse of Jaskier who seemed unfazed by this whole nakedness he was seeing; like he was familiar of the whole thing and the white wolf's dangly bits hanging and it has peaked your curiosity.
Do they bathe together then?
The bard has seen your amused smile with a skeptical brow raised to what you were witnessing. Thus, he peeked around Geralt to acknowledge your curiosity; pointing at you with a roguish grin, "That face tells that you have been swimming deep inside the vast depths of the sea, wondering why I am not bothered by the witcher's nudity---"
"Jaskier," Geralt sent a tired warning and held his slim shoulders, forcefully turning him around as he pushed him forward, towards the door.
"---It's because I have rubbed chamomile onto his lovely bottom before! It was true! I never lied! It was a part of the rules in becoming the rightful travel companion until you came along and began rubbing it for himself! Though, I doubt you did it to join our adventures!---"
You couldn't help but stifle your tee-hee from his admission. Finding their friendship amazing to the point that he does it for Geralt; receiving nothing but his altruism and adventures that the witcher has shared together with him.
Geralt loudly closed the door behind Jaskier; his mouth running on and on about how such a change of habits it has been when you came in their life. He'd knock a lot of times, calling out for the both of you and trying to want and barge in your moment but your white wolf finally knew what a lock is and slid the wooden block over the hook to lock his chambers.
"He seriously rubs chamomile on your butt?"
The skyclad man turned on his heel, raising a skeptical brow as you tried to focus hard on his face and not his body that stood before you.
"I guess that silence means yes, then. Oof, such bromance! Don't you think I'm the one who's actually becoming a hindrance between your platonic relationship with your bard?"
"Ridiculous." He took several steps closer, making you turn your head from becoming too flustered over his glorious, scarred body that he certainly isn't afraid or diffident about his imperfections anymore after you've treated them like it was a part of him that you will always accept. Geralt sat on your side, reaching over the bedside table to look beneath the drawers.
The latter placed a small, transparent bottle on your hand. A clear yellowish tone of liquid inside as you stared at it, thoroughly intrigued, "What's this? Is it another one of your witcher potions?"
Geralt hummed in negation, lifting his calloused hand to take your chin in between his fingers, turning your head to look at his ardent, shining amber, "Eucalyptus Oil. Took it from Cirilla's chambers. For you---For later. Perhaps, our recent activities had you feeling utterly spent,"
You've blinked, taken aback from his plans for whatever it is he wanted. Though, it didn't take you to put two on two together to know where his plans would take you, "Why are you---Oh. I know. I definitely know what you want." pause. "---you are insatiable, Geralt."
Geralt gently nudged your chin, tilting it up to his advantage as he leaned down to press a soft buss to your lips. Once again, he'd took your breath away by how tender he was handling you. The mere opposite of what people see and expected from because they never had the chance to walk through him; they didn’t have the courage to know who he really was.
His thumb that rested upon your chin were easily replaced with his lips, kissing you on the spot before gliding the dimples of his nose to yours, subtly giving you an Eskimo kiss.
"My overly developed lechery certainly comes from the mutation,"
Geralt's mouth lifted into a small, unusual beam, fluttering his eyes closed as he concentrated on you and that specific comfort he found. Questions came hitting him like stones, breaking the mirthful bubble that he was brought in.
He didn't want you to go home anymore because he'd found home in you.
But, what if fate had move mountains and threw his happiness away again? Leaving him no choice but to watch you go?

[CN] Fireworks Event - Kiro
🍒 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for an event which has not been released in English servers! 🍒
Tumblr media
Previous section: here
3rd Anniversary Masterlist: here 
Prior to the Carnival, there were questions posed in the Go See You feature which affects which scenario the player sees during the Fireworks Event:
Question 1: Without thinking of any external reasons, if you were to visit the amusement park again, which attraction would Miss Chips want to experience the most?
Option A: Rollercoaster! I think this attraction really alleviates stress.
Option B: Hehehe, the haunted house should be given a name.
Option C: The dessert store! There are so many delicious foods in the amusement park.
-
Question 2: 
Question: To Miss Chips, what is an essential element in a “perfect day”?
Option A: For you to be as romantic as in a fairytale.
Option B: For people to witness the most romantic moment. [no footage found]
-
[ PART ONE PROLOGUE ]
Time truly passes when one is having fun. In a blink of an eye, the night has already overtaken the sky.
I look at the guide map in my hands, thinking about which attraction should end our itinerary for today’s carnival.
Suddenly, Kiro grabs my hand. 
Kiro: Let’s go!
MC: Have you thought of what we’re going to do last?
Kiro: Haven’t we already decided this since a long time ago~
Tumblr media
[ Option A: Rollercoaster! I think this attraction really alleviates stress. ]
At night, the tracks of the rollercoaster are full of coloured lights. From afar, it looks like a dream-like track hanging in the sky.
It suddenly occurs to me that the seemingly insignificant question he asked a few days ago actually had a reason behind it. 
Kiro: This time, we can enjoy the pleasures of the rollercoaster to our heart’s content!
He offers his hand to me, eyes sparkling despite being in the curtain of darkness.
MC: It’s the first time I’m riding a rollercoaster at night!
We’re seated in the last row, gradually climbing towards the peak. Our entire field of vision consists of the night and neon.
Kiro: MC, do you know about the legend related to rollercoasters?
MC: Do you create stories that quickly? We just sat on it.
Kiro: Nonsense, I was already thinking about it when we were in the queue!
MC: ...
Kiro: ...
Kiro suddenly clears his throat, his fingers making twirls in the air in a counterclockwise direction. Then, he lets out a soft “ding” sound.
Kiro: Miss Chips, do you know about the legend related to rollercoasters?
MC: Pfft.
Cooperating with him, I pretend to look contemplative. 
MC: There are sayings related to rollercoasters?
Kiro: Hmph. Not everyone knows about this legend, because it’s only used for rollercoasters at night, and when you’re seated at the last row.
MC: Ah! What else?
Kiro: The rollercoaster will take 55 seconds from the moment it leaves the peak. If you have any wishes you’d like fulfilled, say it silently in your heart, then hold your breath. As long as you can press on till the end, this wish will be fulfilled. 
MC: Isn’t the original setting in an elevator?
Kiro: Any similarities are mere coincidences. We’re reaching the peak soon. So? Want to give it a try?
MC: This legend has yet to be put to the test.
Looking at his sparkling eyes, I can’t help but want to tease him.
Kiro: You don’t trust me! But that’s okay, I can prove its success rate to you first.
With this, he closes his eyes, and I have no idea what wish he’s making.
Neon colours fall on his eyelashes, making his side profile look especially handsome.
Kiro: Done. 
We’re about to reach the peak. Kiro grips my hand, his face filled with anticipation and eagerness.
Kiro: Let’s go!
MC: Ahh--!
--
Kiro: Haa... haa...
Kiro is breathing in as much fresh air as he can, and I can’t help but laugh while looking at his flushed face.
MC: You’ve worked hard. From the bottom of my heart, I hope your wish can be fulfilled. 
Kiro: Are you secretly laughing at me? Don’t be envious when my wish comes true.
MC: What did you wish for just now?
Kiro: What I wished for...
He turns his eyes to me, then leans downwards slightly such that his face is in front of mine. He closes his eyes gently.
Kiro: I wonder if the intelligent MC can guess what it is.
MC: You’re just being unreasonable!
Kiro: I’m not. Maybe this is the result of my hard work from earlier?
Looking at the person before me who’s pretending to be innocent, I find it quite ticklish.
With a flushed face, I give the corner of his lips a light peck. He seems to have waited for a very long time. Just as I plan to flee, he pulls me back, once again locking me in a trance.
Kiro: Look - I said the legend was effective. You believe it now, don't you?
-
[ Option B: Hehehe, the haunted house should be given a name. ]
At night, the haunted house looks even more terrifying than usual. The gloomy and cold lights seem to be waiting for challengers to arrive. 
Looking at the slightly tense Kiro beside me, it suddenly occurs to me that the seemingly insignificant question he asked a few days ago actually had a reason behind it.
Kiro: Miss Chips, let’s go!
MC: Actually, it’s okay even if we don’t go for this...
Kiro: It’s all right.
He pats his chest confidently, pushing his sunglasses down with one hand. 
Kiro: This time, I came prepared.
-
In the narrow, strange and long corridor, Kiro and I walk unhurriedly, following the directions of the arrows.
Kiro: This is the third time we’ve come to a haunted house, isn’t it? 
MC: Yup. It seems like we always have memories of running wildly in haunted houses. 
Kiro: In that case, let’s walk slowly this time, and slowly enjoy the delights of the haunted house. 
Just as he finishes speaking, a bloodied handprint appears on the paper door at the side with a thud.
MC: !
Before I can rally my emotions, continuous streams of ghost-like cries drift from the paper door beside us. 
Kiro holds my hand, scanning the surroundings “coldly”---
From an unknown place, Kiro takes out a gigantic white sheet, covering it over us.
Kiro: If we can’t beat then, let’s join them!!
MC: Pfft!
Kiro wraps me in his arms. His breath is at my ear, which gives me an especially ticklish sensation in my heart. 
Kiro: See? It’s no longer scary, isn’t it? When we hear sounds, we’ll simply return fire!
Passerby couple: Erm...
Kiro: [ghostly] Mmm...?
Kiro and I turn around at the same time.
Passerby couple: Ahhhh----!!!!!!
After a short silence, I lift up my head, and just so happen to meet Kiro’s lowered gaze. 
Kiro: [chuckles] Even though I feel a little bad, but...
We burst into laughter at the same time. The white sheet seems to be a small protective screen, making us the only two people in the entire world, becoming our secret accomplice. 
Kiro: I’ve finally found a way to decode the haunted house!
MC: Next time, why don’t we...
Kiro: Be the ghosts!
We complete each others’ sentences as always. 
Kiro: This way, it doesn’t feel scary at all.
MC: You’ve got a good method~
Kiro: The method is one aspect of it. The other aspect is because you’re with me. Frightening things will always be frightening, and courage isn’t something that can be added or subtracted. 
MC: But won’t you become braver after going through it more often and having more experience?
Kiro: That’s called getting used to it and growing up. It doesn’t mean you’re no longer scared. It’s because there are other things which triumph over the fear.
His voice is very soft, and his eyes turn from the view outside the sheet to me.
Kiro: For example, right now. 
MC: It’s all right even if you’re scared. I’m here, and you aren’t alone!
Kiro: In that case, could I come nearer to you?
As he says this, he takes a step closer.
MC: [blushing] The staff would laugh at us if they see this...
Kiro: That’s fine. 
His lips are at my ear, bringing with them a smile of someone who has gotten his way.
Kiro: No one will see us.
-
[ Option C: The dessert store! There are so many delicious foods in the amusement park. ]
At night, the dessert store looks even more well-lit. The adorable decor, together with the colourful neon lights, are reminiscent of the sweetest kiss of a couple.
It suddenly occurs to me that the seemingly insignificant question he asked a few days ago actually had a reason behind it.
MC: Doesn't this place require a reservation? 
He smiles while talking out two reservation coupons from his pocket, a satisfied look on his face. 
Kiro: Hehe. It’s been a long wait, my Miss Chips. 
I scan the various limited edition couple desserts on the menu, each one of them looking utterly delicious, as though I can smell their sweet fragrance just from the pictures.
In the end, I decide to pick the dessert which Kiro is recommending whole-heartedly and with great force--
The double lava layer chocolate brownie.
Kiro: Trust me, this is the one. I’ve done a recon before, and found the most premium product from these premium products.
Under his solemn gaze, the double lava layer chocolate brownie is brought to our table. 
It looks like a chocolate brownie with some frosting sprinkled on it, and seems to be pretty normal.
Kiro: Give it a try! I haven’t forgotten its taste even till now.
I cut it open gently, and discover that underneath the chocolate exterior, there’s a soft chocolate cake. Chocolate sauce in the centre flows out slowly.
Cutting a small piece carefully, I place it into my mouth.
In a mere instant, my throat, nose, and even the air I inhale, are all sweet. 
The strong sweetness sweeps through all my senses. My tongue goes haywire, and it’s as though I'm biting into a hundred macarons at the same time. 
Kiro sits opposite me, his eyebrows arching slightly, an insuppressible anticipation and teasing look in his eyes. 
He has also prepared a guilty and apologetic look. 
I see through it immediately.
MC: Not bad. As expected of your recommendation!
Kiro: Hm? 
MC: It’s really delicious.
While saying this, I lift up the fork again, preparing to get another piece. 
Kiro: Wait wait wait! 
He immediately grabs my hand, his face filled with disbelief. Looking at me, he lowers his head and stares at the “scheme”.
Kiro: The taste is just right?
MC: Yeah, it is. Weren't you the one who recommended it?
Kiro: Well... you’re not wrong.
He looks at the brownie on the table hesitantly. He’s probably guessing that the store had changed its method of preparation, resulting in a different effect. 
At this moment, it’s a showdown between Kiro the glutton and reason. 
Slowly, he picks up the fork, and brings a small piece into his mouth.
Kiro: [groans] !!!
I immediately grab the lemon water at the side, flushing my ruined taste buds. 
Kiro: You...!
His features are scrunched, and I can't help but laugh when I see this. 
Kiro: Although I did it somewhat on purpose, you really endured it too well!
MC: Seeing this image before me is worth it hahaha.
Kiro: I’m letting you experience the wrong path I once walked on.
Saying this, he comes over to my side.
Kiro: If I’m at fault, you should have punished me by using the law! Not by killing me with this sickeningly sweet dessert!
MC: If you went down the wrong path, you shouldn’t have let others experience it either!
Kiro: But you’re special. I’ve suffered twice the harm and need treatment. 
MC: Mr Kiro, you’re insatiable. 
Despite saying this, I don't stop him when he slowly draws closer to me.
Kiro: [chuckles] All I need is a little normal sweetness. 
Tumblr media
[ PART TWO ]
By the time we return to the vicinity of the castle in the plaza, the fireworks display is about to begin.
Considering Kiro’s special situation, his wig and props have more or less finished serving their function. I decide to find a location with fewer people.
But suddenly...
I realise that Kiro is gone.
Scanning my surroundings, I just can’t find any trace of him.
??: Beautiful Miss Princess, what are you looking at?
I freeze.
As the fireworks from the castle continuously scuttle to the skies, I see a figure at the end of the light.
At the top of the castle, he’s wearing a white coloured suit. His white cape is flying in the night, and an exquisite white mask conceals his entire face.
Just like the phantom thief under the moonlight.
Passerby: Is that a performance?
MC: Ki-!
Akin to magic, he soars downwards, stepping through the night, his cape kneading the moonlight as it flaps up and down, descending before me.
Wearing a pair of white gloves, he reaches out and places his forefinger on my lips.
Tumblr media
Kiro: Shh.
The entire world seems to have become silent in an instant, leaving behind only the sound of my violently beating heart.
He takes half a step back, his left hand behind him, giving me a slight bow while offering his right hand to me.
Kiro: Beautiful Miss Princess, are you willing to come with me?
A pair of sapphire-like eyes hide behind the mask, leaving me unable to see his expression.
Seeing the arm he’s holding out in mid-air, I grip his hand without hesitation.
MC: It would be my honour!
Once the words leave my lips, he wraps an arm around my waist and carries me up, bringing me into the deep blue ocean.
Kiro: Hold me tight.
He presses a special mechanism, and strings pull the both of us upwards, as though we’re treading on moonlight.
When we reach the roof of the castle, he lets me step onto the bricks steadily, then removes the mask from his face.
Kiro: The performance has begun.
He snaps his fingers. At the same time, all the fireworks in the night sky bloom.
[ FIREWORKS ]
-
The colour I had selected is especially brilliant, and it blooms under Kiro’s command.
It’s as though he's standing in the middle of the stage, and every firework is a musical instrument under his control. With his guidance, they become the most beautiful musical composition in the night sky.
I think about that question related to a perfect day, and a him who is as romantic as in a fairytale.
As the fireworks come to an end, he once again gives me a bow, and walks towards me.
Kiro: I wish to ask my princess if the me of right now has the qualifications to steal your heart?
MC: [blushing] Haven’t you already stolen it since a long time ago?
Kiro: Is that so?
Under the moonlight of this winter day, his fringe is damp with sweat, and his eyes are filled with surprise.
Kiro: In that case, I won’t be returning it. Anyway, my heart happens to be with you too. Happy third anniversary, my Miss Chips.
Even the most precious day has to come to an end.
But the meaning residing in the future, which is the time we have next, will definitely be even more wonderful, and even more precious.
Until the end of life.
MC: Let’s go home!
Kiro: Mm! Let’s go home.

First lines meme
stealing the Post The First Lines From 20 Of Your Works meme from @sazandorable, very late because i felt like it /o/
English-only edition, i don’t think i’ve written enough in French to get to 20 lines >>
this is going to include A Lot of WIPs because i just haven’t published a lot recently but stuff is still Getting Written, sorta. they're also not going to be in any real chronological order simply because they're not all archived in the same place don't @ me
1. Maintenance (Campaign Star Wars, WIP)
When the first petal flutters into your hand, a small blue thing, fragile and torn, sticky with blood-tinted spit, you sag to your knees.
this is my one-per-fandom allowed purple prose romance fic for Campaign Star Wars, ft. second person narration and a generic first line that is definitely a placeholder for something cooler when i think of it later on. i'm not a fan of opening on something this observational, and with 2nd pers pov it feels even more deliberately detached, a thing i want and do sometimes but not especially here.
2. Escape velocity (Heaven Will Be Mine, WIP)
The only way we fold is outward, over time and into space.
how tf does one even write for HWBM? my tentative take is to go all out with the unhinged science poetry
3. The quest (TMA)
'I'm gonna do it.'
lazy rapid-fire dialogue is my brain gears grease and sometimes if i'm drunk and indifferent enough it gets to stay on the page
4. hanker (The Raven Cycle)
‘Feeling jealous?’ Proko asks, because he’s a little shit.
hehehe
5. crumbling pillars (HNOC)
Gawain stands in the door to the council room, his hair matted and his clothes drenched in Saxon blood, his empty gun still smoking in his hand, panting but unharmed.
i like this one. a better execution of the necessary segmented descriptive first look than the Maintenance one.
6. on and away (Pokémon)
‘You thought I was never coming back.’
lots of in-media-res slightly accusatory dialogue, huh
7. Our Work Is Never Over (MCU)
'This is boring.'
lots and lots
8. chasing the starlight (MCU)
The stars sang to him once, of escape and dreams and adventure.
this is my obligatory purple prose romance for this fandom, and sets the tone for the rest of the fic: contemplative, wistful, disappointing.
9. The decay (Pokémon/Shadow of the Colossus fusion)
He strikes the last blow to the monster, and watches the light leave its green eyes with a furious and wild joy far from the sober, mournful relief he used to feel after his earliest victories.
this fic was originally a one-sentence microfic i lightly edited, it's five whole sentences long now! so of course the first sentence is packed and rambly, but i kind of enjoy the out-of-breath, suspended quality of long-running sentences in some cases, and i feel like here it fits
10. untitled WIP (The Raven Cycle)
It was Opal who found him.
our first short statement to not be dialogue :o pretty efficient, establishes the obligatory 'oh no what did he do this time' element of any Ronan story
11. Eyeliner (RQG, WIP)
There's a smudge on Zolf's collar.
love me some 'well, well, well' accusatory opening statements
12. Inertia (Dragon Age, WIP)
It was the kind of love you kept silent, draped in reverence and as far away from them as possible.
it sounds like another purple prose fic but hear me out, there's one pseudo-poetic paragraph and then it drops into a dry, snarky, analytic call-out of the narrator. on its own it's a terrible sentence and i absolutely hate reading it :D
13. but i erased you (Pokémon, WIP)
When Red comes back, Green takes it in stride.
i love lying right off the bat
14. a decent man's meat (Digital Devil Saga)
The dreaded moment comes once again, and once again Harley fails to run from the classroom in time to dodge Argilla’s invitation to come have lunch with her friends.
one of these 'why does this even exist' fics, so this first line is mostly there to establish the high school AU's whole tone and dynamics
15. cold steam running (Hotel Dusk)
There’s more to the story of Bradley’s sudden transfer than Kyle is willing to let on, obviously.
kiiind of same, actually? establishes the AU, less assertively than the previous example because here it's not as far away from canon as it was for DDS, ft. pov character fancying himself a Very Shrewd Observer
16. for me it was tuesday (Baccano!)
The first sign is always the sound of footsteps echoing through the hallways, rapidly approaching as someone runs and nearly crashes into the door.
and with this we conclude that weird high school AU craze i had for like two weeks. this is also a very boring first line, not really sure why i even included it at all? the rando almost crashing into the door feels very in line with canon's tone though, i like his energy
And i'm gonna stop here because the rest of my works in English is either WIPs that don't have an official first line yet, or disqualified on account of being one-sentence microfics. i feel like there's a definite tendency to open with snappy dialogue, and otherwise a general mechanical feel to it, like if it's not dialogue/speech i'm not sure how to handle it, and i default to ‘must transmit information’ 🤔 it's definitely not the strongest part of any of my writing, i should work on that >>

STEVEN UNIVERSE: THE MOVIE - Personal Commentary
I wrote this to send to a friend, but I decided I might as well post it on here. I did a large portion of this while I was watching the movie, but I did go back and improve on some parts after I was finished, so forgive the inconsistent tenses. I apologise for the length as well, which is a result of me getting completely carried away and analysing a lot of the movie (I bet my English teachers are cheering). Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy my personal thoughts on the Steven Universe movie. (Also, spoilers if you haven’t already watched it.)
- The opening....wow. Not only is it pretty but it's just so dramatic. It reminds me quite a bit of old fashioned Disney musicals (I’m guessing that was their intention). Even the layout of the credits are giving me that vibe. But especially the music. Very fairytale-esque.
- 16 year old Steven, yeah booiii! Now he’s only a few years younger than me. I do like his older voice and design. Bet Zach Callison is relieved that he doesn't have to pitch his voice up high anymore. And I personally really love the pan flag colour scheme of his new outfit. I wonder if they’ll keep it for the season(s) following the movie.
- Aww, the Diamonds are learning. Sort of. They’re maybe just a tad clingy, but that's still improvement. I really love how Steven Universe never makes the 'villians' completely evil, only misguided, and that everyone is capable of changing their ways. Such a great message. (Edit: Ooohh, I unintentionally called what I'd say is the moral of the movie. Noice.)
- Naaww, Steven and Connie are so cute. Steven's happy little grin after the kiss was just adorable.
- Oooh, I like the 'Here We Are in the Future' (Edit: 'Happily Ever After') song. It just shows how much they've all grown over the course of the series. And it’s a great way to recap the journeys of each of the original Crystal Gems to the audience.
- "PEW PEW" Yeesss. I love their handshake. And oh my god, he really is so tall compared to Amethyst now.
- Oh my god, they're reenacting the running sequence from the opening. Love me a parallel. Just shows how far they’ve all come.
-Okay, why do the 'bad' guys in musicals always get such cool songs? Spinel's song was so catchy. Now I'm super curious about her relation to Pink Diamond. Oh cool! A scythe. That's awesome.....AH! Okay, nevermind. Nooo.
- 'Losing your powers' angst. I love it (yes, I know, I'm terrible).
- Greg: "Holy shhhhhheee really got everybody" Me: 😏 I see what you did there.
- Steven: "I have no idea what's going on." Greg: "Well now you know how I feel most of the time." Greg is so relatable sometimes. Kindly stop being my spirit animal, sir.
- AHHH! They've all been reset. Craaappp! And I was just going on about growth and everything! But I'm excited to see what happens because I love angst, god damn it. It always helps to make the happy ending all the more satisfying. (And...admittedly, the amnesia narrative device has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I’ve always enjoyed how it allows you to so clearly see how a character has evolved over time and how much their experiences have defined their identity.)
- "Something is clearly wrong," Pearl sings happily and bug-eyed. Excellent and relatable. That's how I react to most things in life, honestly.
- "I could have lost all of my character development." Ha! Never subtle, are you Peridot? But also nooooo, not Peridot. Don't you dare touch her. She's grown so much and I love her dearly (and also Lapis' top notch dark humour. Perfect.)
- Sad song reprise is sad. I totally understand what Steven is feeling too. Things you’ve gotten so used to (hell, maybe even become dependent on for your emotional welbeing) can disappear so quickly that it can be quite a whiplash to have it gone, so it's completely normal to struggle to accept it, and to yearn for what you had not so long ago.
- Bismuth saying “We are the Crystal Gems” has watered my crops and cleared my skin. And I love her singing voice; the roughness in some parts suits her character so well.
- Rupphire Rupphire RUPPHIRE GAAAARRRNNNEEETTT, yiissss! Wow the fusion animation is really awesome. It's like a behind-the-scenes on how it works from their perspective. But I love how the two of them fusing together doesn't fix Garnet's memories or make her exactly how she was before losing them. Garnet isn't just an experience; she's also a product of her experiences.
- Lil' trumpet salute! Naww, Pearl, that's adorable.
- ....is Onion....immortal? He still looks exactly the same. 😟 I'm unnerved by that child and whatever power he had.
- Oooh, tap dancing. I love tap dancing! Even if Steven is wearing sandals while doing it. Oh boy, I love the friendship between Amethyst and Steven. It's always been one of my favourite things in the show. It's kind of like the sibling interaction I've always wished to have myself: supportive and wholesome. And I also love how their fusion shows that platonic and familial love is just as powerful as romantic love. Oh, YAY Amethyst is back! Like I said, friendship is a powerful thing.
- Oh my god, Steven and Greg are going to fuse. Ahhhh! Oh wow, it's basically Elvis with a six pack! Hehehe, so weird. But not bad either. And, oh wow, what a great song! Individuality is my kink.
- The ANGST is making me feel emotions. Steven looks so ragged, and the high pitched whining in his ears definitely added to that. And having felt that terrible myself a few times, I know how much it frigging sucks. And just like him I brushed other people's concerns off, so I'd be a hypocrite to tell him to take care of himself. (But I am a hypocrite. Take care of yourself, Steven!)
- Yep, here's the tragic backstory to make me sad about Spinel. Hit me where it hurts why don't you. Gosh, Pink Diamond really did some messed up things when she was younger (but thankfully she evolved from that and changed to become Steven). Leaving someone behind without giving them closure or even a reason would mess someone up for sure. You'd feel completely worthless. And unfortunately, being noticed for any reason⁠—good or bad⁠—is generally a way to cope with that feeling. Spinel is doing what she can to deal with what Pink did to her, and that unfortunately involves lashing out and hurting others.
- The 'True Kinda Love' song! Knew it'd turn up at one point. Knowing the context makes it so much better too. And hell yeah, Garnet is back!
- Blood? On this Christian Server? It's more likely than you think.
- “This is the story of my life.” Ahh! Steven's just a kid, and he's gone through so much. But, I gotta say, he is absolute proof that having a rough childhood and being a flawed person in the past (*cough* Pink Diamond *cough*) doesn't condemn you to being a wicked person forever. Anyone, regardless of their circumstances and experiences, can be a good person. Your early years don't define your identity or what will become of your future.
- Spinel: “When you change, you change for the better. When I change, I change for the worse. I used to be just not good, just not good enough for Pink. Now I'm not good at all!” Damn. That's powerful. Trauma can be such a difficult thing to overcome, and some people lose their way in their attempt to leave it behind. Sometimes, though, growing doesn't mean changing yourself and erasing the past; sometimes it means accepting the parts of your past that made you who you are now. Showing the importance of past experiences through the Crystal Gem's recovery of their identities is such a smart way of showing this concept to the audience. Such a great analogy. Now, let's hope Spinel can accept that though she has been changed as a result of her trauma, that doesn't make her ‘bad’ or unworthy of love (because that’s just not true!)
- “There's no such thing as happily ever after”. Sad but true. And also turning the whole Disney vibe the movie began with in on its head. Very smart.
- Steven: “I'll always have more work to do”. Then, Spinel: “I've got work to do. Friendship isn't going to be easy for me. I'm gonna have to work at it”. Exactly. That's how it is. ‘Happily ever after’ is a stagnant concept, and staying the same person for the rest of your life isn't healthy. And deciding to work towards improving yourself can sometimes be the hardest step to take when it comes to overcoming trauma. But change can be good; you should always keep working on improving yourself, no matter how comfortable you are with who you are and where you're at. Evolution is a part of living.
- Ooooh, White Diamond got sassy. She even has the hand gestures down. She’s making up for all the years she spent T-posing.Good for her.
- Oh my gosh, the focus on the Diamond's hands! Instead of destroying, their holding a hand out in a gesture of friendship. Seriously, that's frigging growth. That's such a cool parallel too. Rebecca Sugar and her crew are just brilliant.
- I'm so glad the Diamonds got someone to love and help them through their grief, and Spinel got someone to love her unconditionally, regardless of the flaws she thinks she has. They all got someone to help them heal. That’s wonderful.
- “I can make a change.” 👏Yes👏you👏can! That's your superpower.
Damn, that was so wonderful! I've always loved the message of personal growth, and the movie did it so well. In my opinion, Steven Universe has always been great at analogies to explain real life things (ie. Malachite being a metaphor for toxic relationships) so I really like how they used to amnesia narrative device to show not only how much someone can change and grow over time, but also to show it's our experiences, good and bad, that shape us as a person. Lots of people have traumatic experiences in their life that can inadvertantly shape a lot of their personality, and it can be hard to leave that behind, especially if so much of your identity is dependent on those experiences. Sometimes they can lead us to becoming ‘bad’ people, but they can also help make us good people too. Just look at Steven! He was able to accept his past traumas and use them so as to help others heal their own. 
Trauma isn't something you can erase without erasing a large part of your identity. It can be tough to live with, nonetheless. Sometimes, like Spinel, you just need a helping hand in accepting the scars life has given you; to help you grow beyond it and maybe even eventually be able to help others who are going/have gone through similar experiences.
And there's no shame in trying to be better and failing over and over again. At least you are trying. Because trying to be good against all odds, against the whole world doing its best to destroy you, shows just how strong you really are.
-----------
Sorry for getting flowery (and maybe just a tad projective). As you can see I just really like the moral of the movie, as well as pretty much every other aspect. I'm sure there's a lot of little intricacies I missed, but this is what I took from my first viewing of it. And these are just my opinions; you might have got a whole different vibe from the movie. You are completely welcome to add you own thoughts and improve upon mine (because I am by no means an expert).
So, to summarise my own thoughts on the movie, I’m just going to say: Personal growth for the win!

Sweatshirt
Sweatshirt [NaLu OneShot] By: StarryRein143
Description: Casually walking at the mall with your friends when you accidentally bumped into a guy (literally) wearing the same sweatshirt as yours isn’t a coincidence, right? NaLu One shot. Modern AU.. I don’t own Fairy Tail!
Hi! I hope you’ll like this short story! I’m apologizing in advance for the wrong spellings, grammar and etc. English isn’t my first language! I don’t own Fairy Tail! Hiro Mashima does!
Lucy’s POV
It was a rather nice day. My friends and I, consisting of Levy-chan, Erza, Mira, Lisanna, Juvia and Wendy, were at the mall, just chilling and doing some shopping. We had planned this girl’s day for a week now. Escaping from the cruel prison of school is something we had been wanting to do. Being a sophomore literature major is truly stressful and nerve wracking, my friends experiencing the same problem. Only, they have different course and majors, except Wendy who’s just a junior highschool student.
As i said, we were planning this leisure time for a week now. That includes the clothes i was wearing; skinny jeans, black converse, and a blue limited edition Fairy Tail sweatshirt thrown over my white tank top. I would have worn shorts or skirts but seeing that it's the 2nd of December, i can’t exactly do that. I would have been frozen the moment i stepped out of my house. It wasn’t snowing but the cold breeze was enough to knock someone off their feet. If you’re wondering, ‘Fairy Tail’ is part of this famous video game that my friends and I are obsessed with. The name of the game is Fiore, supposedly about a magical world where you can create avatars and choose their magic. You can join guilds and team up with other players online. We do missions or requests to earn jewels. We're members of the leading guild in Fiore, Fairy Tail. We had been playing for a year now. Call us obsessed but we actually see our guildmates as family. Not too weird since behind those avatars are real people.
“Your sweatshirt is really cute, Lu-chan! I want one too!” My petite blue haired bestfriend squealed, fangirling over my sweatshirt. It wasn’t too eye catching, unless you knew what it meant. It was fairly simple, plain blue with a small golden Fairy Tail insignia at the top right in front and a larger one in the back; with the words 'Fairy Tail’ on above the symbol. The mark was supposedly a fairy with a tail. [Cover]
“Thank you. I bought in online. Waited for a whole week for it!” Fairy Tail’s official website was only selling five of these and i was lucky enough to buy it on time. All were same designs but different colors; blue, red, black, white and grey. I was lucky enough to have the blue one since it was my favorite.
“You’re so lucky! Although, i need to warn you. Keep a good eye on that because i might steal it!” My short haired friend, Lisanna, threatened, making me laugh.
“As if! I have you know, i hide this along with my other Fairy Tail merchandise on a safe!” Of course it wasn’t true. I do know how to share..
“Enough of Lucy’s sweatshirt. Let’s go and eat! I'm starving!” Lisanna’s older sister, Mira, said.
“Mira’s right. Where do you guys like to eat?” The scarlet haired accounting major asked, earning shrugs from majority of us.
“Ummm.. There’s this italian restaurant on the second floor. They sell really good pasta.” Suggested the young dark blue haired highschool student, Wendy.
“Juvia thinks pasta is nice.” Juvia always speaks 3rd person, don’t ask why. Even we don’t know.
“Then pasta it is!” I yelled enthusiastically. It was then we passed by the department store when a guy running out bumped into me. I lost balance and fell on the floor, butt first. The same happened with the guy that collided with me. I swear, i heard my friends gasped. Great. They bothered to be shocked than help me up.
“Ouch..” i mumbled, opening my eyes which i didn’t realized i firmly closed due to the impact.
“Sh*t! That actually hurt.” I heard someone said. Looking ahead, i saw a pink haired guy—yes, pink!—, wearing a red sweatshirt and pants, standing up just a couple of feet away. I watched him dust off his clothes, not that i want to look like a stalker or anything. It's just that this stranger actually looks hot and handsome. I mean, not everyone can pull off that hair color! He’s also cute!
“Are you alright, Miss?” I snapped out of my dazed when i realized that the subject of my thoughts was standing in front of me, offering a hand.
“Uhh, s-sorry..” i mumbled, accepting his hand. He lifted me up to my feet with little effort. Now infront of him, i noticed that he was a head taller. Also, he seemed to be my age. If not, a year older.
“Sorry for bumping into you. I was running away from my friends.” He apologized, tugging his white scaly scarf upwards to hide his pinkish cheeks. Wait, is he blushing? Probably just the cold..
“No worries. I’m Lucy, by the way. The girls behind me are my friends; Erza, Levy-chan, Mira, Lisanna, Juvia and Wendy.” I gestured to who-is-who before extending a hand and smiling at him. I don’t know why my friends were quiet, though. They’re usually noisy and social. Maybe they’re hungry? Not bothering to mind their stange behavior, i watched as his expression brightened, accepting my handshake. Wow, his hand is really warm.
“I’m Natsu.” He grinned at me, showing his sharp fangs.
“So, Natsu? Why were you running away from your friends?” Trying to start a conversation, i casually asked.
“Eh? Well, i kind of broke a glass figurine inside and left them to pay..” laughing awkwardly, he scratched the back of his neck. He looks really cute when he—
“Umm, Lu-chan?” Me and Natsu both looked towards my friends, more specifically to Levy who spoke. Weird.. earlier while introducing Natsu, they were white as sheet. Now, mocking and teasing smiles were on their faces. What’s with them?
“I don’t know if you noticed but you’re wearing match-” she didn’t have time to continue since someone interrupted her.
“NATSU!” a loud shout hang through the air as a group of boys ran out of the department store. Each face held anger as they glared at the nervous looking guy beside me. There were 4 of them; one with long black hair with many piercings on his face. He honestly look like a delinquent. There’s also one half naked raven haired guy. Seriously? Was he an exhibitionist? An orange haired guy wearing blue glasses. He kinda looks like a playboy. Sorry for judging. And lastly, the only calm person in the group was a blue haired guy with a weird looking tattoo.
“Eh? Sorry about that, guys! Hehehe!” I can’t help but giggle at Natsu’s carefree attitude. Strangely, my actions earned me the attention of the 4 guys. Mirroring my friends reaction, they were shocked. Blinking, they looked at me then back to Natsu. They did that for about 3 times.
“Umm? Why are you looking at us like that?”
“Bunny-girl, are you this idiot’s girlfriend?” The intimidating long black haired guy asked, pointing his thumb at Natsu. Wait.. Bunny girl?
“Uhh? No-”
“What are you talking about, Metal Freak?! Luigi’s not my girlfriend. I just met her minutes ago.”
“IT’S LUCY, IDIOT!” Smacking him on the head, i pouted. Is my name that hard to remember?
“Then why are you wearing matching sweatshirts? Swear, you two look like a couple.” Realizing what the half naked guy said, we glanced at each other’s clothes. True to his words, we were wearing similar sweatshirts! Difference is, his is red!
“Eh? Fairy Tail? You play 'Fiore’?!” Natsu exclaimed, making me raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah. I’m guessing you do as well?” “Yup! I love that game! You’re a member of Fairy Tail?”
“Yes-”
“Ok. Before you two start flirting, i need to ask. Flame Brain, i thought that’s limited edition? How come she has one?” The raven haired one asked again. A tick mark appeared on my forehead at his words. How dare he?! I spent my monthly allowance just to buy this!
“IT IS LIMITED EDITION, YOU PERVERT!” i yelled, not expecting a duet from Natsu. Wow, did we just yelled at the same time? With the exact same words?
“Well, they have chemistry.” My cheeks reddened when Erza said that.
“S-Shut up..” it barely sounded as a whisper. They all heard it though, laughing at my blushing face.
“Hey, Luce?” A shiver came up my spine when Natsu suddenly whispered on my ear. Thankfully, our friends were talking among themselves, suddenly too busy to notice us.
“Yeah?”
“Let’s ditch them. I know a good coffee shop on the first floor.” I was surprised by his offer. Did he just..?
“Huh?” He rolled his onxy eyes at me before tugging his scarf once again, hiding his pink tainted cheeks and grin.
“I’m asking you out on a date, weirdo.” My lips twitced upwards at that.
“Alright then. Your treat?”
“Sure, let’s go?” He offered me a hand which i gladly took. Once in contact, he gripped my hand and gently tugged it before he start running. I followed him, not minding the stares we got since we were wearing similar sweatshirts. I got to say, we do look like a couple..

Top Places To Start A Blog (Updated Edition) - Thats Huge For What I Am Striving To Accomplish With My Blog)
Similar to MySpace, Xanga started off in 1999 as a social networking site frequented by teens.
One year later, Xanga added blogging capabilities.
Therefore the platform offers users the option of giving eProps to show love for a particular post. With that said, the site has an estimated 40 million users, and is the 1438th most visited site on earth. I also think WordPress is a lot better than blogger overall. You have unlimited possibilities because of the thousands of plugins people have created and WordPress is easier to use when you get the hang of it. One page for blogging, comments and a petition and one page for updating and organizing historical documents, images and pdfs as needed. So here is a question. Recommendations?
I look for to create an ongoing research based blog for a specific population. Thanks! Highly informative just bookmarked for further updates. Fact, hi that's better review for beginners who look for to start online blogging in easy way by beginning to ending bit by bit explanation thank you very much for your efforts for this article, its really helpful for us. Basically, will you kindly suggest and help? p site I have found that is free, uses Cpanel control panel, and gives me unlimited disk space, and bandwidth is while experimenting with templates am facing with problems and haven't come across any template that made me happy. All these sites are great for people that know absolutely nothing about web hosting or managing a website.
These sites give you should you rather pay upfront for a domain and hosting so have things free after that, or pay as you pick things like pages, video, traffic levels and more? This where it starts getting very entertaining, right? Will you like to monetize and keep all the earnings, or have to share? Notice, wordPress vs Squarespace/Wix/Weebly is a highly common question new website owners face. Let me ask you a few questions to see which way is best.. Will you like no glitches, or glitches?
Will you rather have communities and support forums everywhere to ask questions, or get a site thence exist in a contained and lonely environment?
Sort of an online diary.
Can I transfer posts when switching to, if I start out on WordPress.com. I look for to keep it all consistent and coherent. Must I just start out with the.org to save a headache later? While I use a plugin for this on my sites now I've direct coded them for clients and in the past for my own sites and love the extra functionality you can get by looking into those variables. Tumblr was recently bought by Yahoo, who has interesting plans for the entire blog advertising thing. At a time when WordPress and Blogger were neck and neck for new users, Tumblr showed up as the 3rd guy to the party. Actually, they received quite a few 'signups' from users wanting a tally refreshing have blogging, and have grown ever since. Nearly everyone is there already and you get taken seriously outright.
Awesome question.
Sorry for the extreme delay here as I get up to date on comments.
You won't own your blog there or be able to monetize it, for the sake of example. Google + can be used like a blog if you put hard work into sharing quality posts with the right people, and consistently engaging good circles. Oftentimes whenever making beautiful blog posts and more, s awesome for building google rankings. At the moment and really for any time in the forseeable future I like wordpress.org for running a blog. Now pay attention please. I am writing a blog about Angels for almost two years. I make no money, And so it's all about making a better world. As a result, must I go to word press? Now I just need cheap. Your advice is appreciated. Time to renew and I will like to move. I went with them as I was so new I needed that's all very new, as you can tell.
I have a registered domain name and a website on iPage.
I don't know how WordPress should / does / can fit in with the blog portion of my website.
Can I create an active blog as amidst the tabs, or do I sensibly require a separate site dedicated to a blog to do, eventually, the full range of marketing, promotion, and so on? Sites is good for private groups or a corporate intranet, not much else. Then, google does not put much effort into supporting Sites. It has very limited functionality. I am using Google Sites since 2010 for my blog/ecommerce site, and regret that I didn't start with WordPress.org. I noticed Google Sites ain't on the list. I've squeezed as much as I can out of Sites but am now considering changing. I think I am planning to start with wordpress.com and see how I get on.
Thanks for all this amazing info! Please can you clarify similar structures as a WordPress site does. Joomla is an advanced CMS used by developers to publish plenty of the websites we visits every day. Minus of blogger is that blogger do not allow to cash in if your blog with adult content. Recently I opened my new blog about erotic photos and videos -I have to say that blogger is easier to use comparing with wordpress -'htmlediting' is plus, free video downloading. Besides, minus of blogger that administation can delete your blog without alert. So this not only makes it harder to transition those images down the road BUT can affect Search Engine Optimisation if you have an image or graphic heavy site.
My additional Blogger con should be that the photos aren't stored within website either, they are linked to an offsite location. And suchlike you can't change the fact that the photo/image is linked or at least sourced to another domain, while you can add your alt tags. I added your remark about Squarespace! I only wish I had a link to your web site, I would give you credit for that kind comment. Thank you for informing everyone including myself, and hope you found a better home for your blog posts! You can do it! You should take it into account. You are right that bloggers have to learn that on their own. I'm almost sure I realised many professional bloggers prefer to write than to manage all things techie or buggy, there're many free tutorials out there to help. Myzooming.com is a blogging platform for those who seek for to use wordpress but can't afford. I appreciate your work. I hope it ok you a time to finish it. Did you hear of something like that before? This list is awesome braa. Eventually, for the most part there's another platform I think you can add. Go watch all of Gregs youtube videos.
Get download wordpress, hostgator for hosting research theme plugins, pick one, and your off and running, best of luck and any more questions, come baqck here and ask. All the best, have fun and give us your domain name when your ready so we can check it out. I'm from Indonesia and can't speak english nocely. Needless to say, free trial, thanks for share, I'm almost sure I just wanna say that ghost dot org not free. I need another dedicat ips, not dot com…hehehe thanks, I actually know you are not understand. Then again, I read that it should cost money annually to move from WordPress to, is there a way I could get past that? I'm not sure about Blogger, I'm quite sure I know you can do it with WordPress.
Say I go with Blogger, so decide that my blog will be better and worth the fees over at WordPress can I move all my content from Blogger to WordPress?
It may be by Blogger or WordPress and its main focus might be to update my readers about music, pictures, music videos, new releases, magazines, lives, and stuff,, I'm intending to start a blog.
I need to be able to do the following. It's a well if WordPress will allow me to do everything I that Blogger does I might just go with WordPress. Therefore, I've read almost almost any comment and your information about the blog options that we have, and it seems like Blogger is the right blog for me.
I think I will try Blogger out first, after that,.
That last statement leads neatly into my next question.
I do move to wordpress, how much would it cost and, is there a way to avoid the fees for the redirection link? As I said, I don't seek for to have to pay additional fees and I understand that if I go with org from the start it won't be something I want to move to wordpress, I should like to start at wordpress.
Including the via attribute which you would use to specify your personal Twitter user name for the via @soandso that generally follows a tweet, So in case you go to https.//dev.twitter.com/docs/tweetbutton and scroll midway down you'll see how you can add specific variables. Therefore if wordpres blogger or so identical if we were not able to take care of and maintain as possible, I love you for this article and I reckon anyway. Which we were able to lots of good, identical nonsense, O Lord, do not??? Did I dream that? I may have misunderstood you somewhere here but I believe you mentioned in a comment to somebody else to keep away from Bluehost. Of course, who will you suggest using apart from Bluehost, if not. While meaning specific, on topics, start niche narrow. Nearly all big brands we know of are going WordPress. It's p way if you need to build a loyal audience. Now please pay attention. People are looking to blogs more than ever for product recommendations but you can't do this Therefore a personal website on WordPress.org is your best bet.
Since it's a roller coaster, overall, go with a pic you can write a LOT on, so this blogging thing.
Revenue, and your ability to profit with a website, will come once your audience is there. You have to establish yourself as an expert in one field consequently blend in your other interests. Everyone needs one, being that it teaches you a lot about the web and is easy to use. Although, pick WordPress, I'd say if you seek for a fancy blogs with plug ins and design flexibility. Of course tips, and stuff take Blogger, I'd say in case you just need to share posts. Most blog readers should go for contents than fancy stuffs that take time to load. Notice that I think it really depends in what you seek for to achieve. Which of the two should you recommend to generate enough traffic and make connections within my industry, with what I need to offer on my blog.
I'm debating between using WordPress, that I know is the go to platform or Google +.
It'll be part blogging of information, I am in the midst of creating a blog that caters to the indie music scene, advice, tips my skills and services should be shared with artists,, personal thoughts and insight and resources but the main premise is to ofcourse network.
Great post and thanks for the insight. Get online quickly with a free trial, setup a cool design and start attracting clients -that's the motto. All over television with beautiful and encouraging ads, SquareSpace offers a nice solution for the business owner in need of a web presence. Go and share publicly I'd say in case you look for to build any sort of following.
As we've been making an attempt to dominate it for a year now, if you need a guide on how to use Google Plus we've got you covered.
Fun features like the badge make getting followers easier.
Google Plus brings you instant community + audience -two things any blogger wants more of. Some might say WP and some will say blogger. However, for an example creately thrives in the diagramming category as it has the perfection that matters. Later, as I manage to learn php and more js, By the way I transform my website in a greate cms gaming platform, build on wordpress, at firat I start as very easy blog on wordpress. Combine in it anithing and display it anywhere I seek for. I had used Movable Type for the blog section, and figured that it will be nearimpossible to make the transition to WordPress. Thanks to you I decided to revive my 'longdormant' website.
Hi, in my opinion it would've been best if you 'copy paste', republish your old posts, and backdate them if you like.
Pretty sure major blogging platforms have this particular feature.
I highly suggest you delete your.blog blog as I reckon the platform should be shutting down soon since look, there're other better options for us out there. Is the WordPress hosting package at Network Solutions limited? Essentially, how limited, I'd say if so.. They say they are using WordPress version they don't really say much else that makes sense to me. Also, I'm wondering how it fares in searches and if I control the ads and receive the ad revenue, or if they do. Consequently, what's different, I'd say in case not. I'm wanting to know how it compares to using WordPress.org -is it quite similar? Recently I built Blogging platform for IT engineers called Wiredify.
It's simple UI but focusing on software engineering. It's quite new but striving to be useful site for all developers. I have learned many things from this post. Blogger? It is a great informative post. Just keep reading! WordPress? On p of this, I can not decide that what's best blogging platform for me. Please give me some suggestion. I am a brand new blogger. I did try other CMS like Joomla and drupal but nothing is better than WordPress I believe. I started out with blogger 6 years ago but later on moved to WordPress and since so I have never looked back. A well-known fact that is. I am a photographer/storyteller, and I'd like to blog as you suggest using hostgator. Nonetheless, I have browsed the wordpress.com themes and can't find one in which the font is not tiny and greyish and in which the photos uploaded are allowed to be large enough for my liking. Thanks for answering my questions! By the way I don't know if wordpress can, I know Blogger can handle it.
I've learned what I'll need to do to backup my blog.
I gonna be able to figure that one out on my own, I believe!
There you should be able to test a demo version of it, as for your A Cwrite is a chat write that you can install in your blog or website -if you seek for to know more type cwrite in your search bar and click on the site that has cwrite ws in the URL. Therefore if I switch from a free WordPress.com blog to a domain where I pay a fee per year will my blog become part of WordPress.org? For example, I am quite worried being that a blogger ld me that WordPress.com doesn't have many options as opposed to Blogger but I don't look for to change now that I have built a small audience. However, thank you very much. Oftentimes any advice? You see, you may find articles at Hubpages you'd wonder why anyone would ever publish.
You may find better home for your blogging and writing needs.
Hubpages started as an article network, the kind of place where you were rewarded for publishing a lot of articles on any one pic like cooking, travel or homeimprovement.
Today, it boasts millions of informative articles and guides. Now look, a byproduct of mass publishing is slightly lesser quality. It's a good idea to send this to them, I'd say if you know a friend who could benefit. Then again, just send an email. Lastly, so this post ok me months to research and make. Thanks to share with us. Helps alot during creating a blog for website whose expecting for traffic. Actually a person can pay more for space and just about every item. Seriously. Basically the org side is worse although a person gets a few free templates. Although, support is a bad joke on WordPress.com. Remember, the real kicker is the price of $ 250 dot 00 for an usable backup. I am in the process of moving first of the year. For the expense of expanding WordPress.com it my be easier to buy web space from a decent host. Some info can be found easily on the internet. For less than $ 150 dot 00 a year lots of us know that there are good hosting sites who have WordPress so you can invite friends to join.
WordPress have a very limited number of social networking links available. WordPress charges for any small step and limit store space. It's not far off from learning something like Microsoft Word and becomes second nature quickly, do expect a learning curve. It's the most powerful and respected blogging platform with endless opportunities. This the case. You got it Nuien. I have made my blog with blogger grindingchocolate.blogspot.mk/. Now please pay attention. Therefore in case I do start the business I'd rather simply be able to build the site on similar platform as my blog rather than have to start from scratch. Generally, given all this information is WordPress my best bet? Hi, I'm looking at starting a blog which I may eventually need to attach to a web based business that I still can't decide if I need to gamble on starting or not -I'm also currently unemployed.
How hard is it to switch from com to org if I just seek for to try out the interface and the blog to see how both go?
In my opinion you have pointed out for the most part there're a huge number of good blogging services available!
I think I was lucky to only know about wordpress.org when I got started and didn't have to take a roundabout way to get there. I any day. WordPress does take slightly longer to learn but if you are serious about a business it's definitely the choice I recommend. So, in any of the questions above, the first scenario is the WordPress.org. For instance, you could've written 1560 posts, 200 posts, 17500 posts, or 82 posts, on the Squarespace platform, and there must be absolutely no way of knowing exactly how many posts you have published -because they don't keep count! Please update this list to include the fact Squarespace does not in any way tell you exactly how many blog posts you have. For instance, my vote goes for wordpress as I know it's quite easier than other blogging platforms. I just love the extra functionality you can add with the vast quantity of plugins.
Hey great post, been looking at the ones I haven't seen before but I believe being a web designer WordPress is my favourite and may always be.
I can't install software without corporate approval and computer management support, Know what guys, I can access the intranet and internet with Internet Explorer 10.
Which web hosts are ready to work with SharePoint from start to finish? My employer owns by rig, and to protect their internal network from malware, they forbid and prevent me from installing unauthorized software. I read a few discussions about getting SharePoint and WordPress.org to work gether and it looks like a disaster, especially for a brand new comer. Nevertheless, will the web site management software try to install on my laptop, or will it become a feature on the web site, if I try to start a blog on WordPress.org or somewhere else.
MS SharePoint Designer 14 dot 0 is authorized for use in supporting internal blogs, wordPress ain't on my employers list of authorized software. Its more like wordpress for more even if I have not been I'm almost sure I liked both the good cms platform for wordpress or blogger. My country ain't listed on Paypal to receive payments. I am currently on a trip and should like to start a blog. Remember, I can only make payments. Actually, being that I am abroad, Actually I am not able to do any payments as well. Sounds like a lovely group and place. I dunno, I'm pretty sure I like WordPress's Users panel bc you can set different levels of power Like can edit, comment, publish, etcetera hereafter email out the logins from WP. I appreciate all the work put in to the info above. Will you mind clarifying the diff between the two sites please? I've always understood ‘org' to be basically not for profit and ‘com' to be a business for financial gain. Usually, I'm still a little confused about the difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com though. Those definitions is being reversed in your descriptions. You got a great read on me there I like Blogger bc it's free and fun, and WordPress.org bc you can advertise, rank well in search, and generally do more regarding the building entire websites.
We have got for the most part there're hundreds of thousands of blogs out there so unless someone has the right link there's little change they'll get there. You should better announce it with care and good timing! Your blog is private until you announce it. With that said, I like both platforms as a newbie I just start with blogspot now I move to wordpress. Loved both…. You undoubtedly should both what the big issue behind both? I'm almost sure I use weebly for my church websitre. On p of this, in spite the fact that the sites listed in here can be considered simple it's nice to know someone with 0 code knowledge can have their own creative slice of the internet world. I get positive feedback about it I am thinking to have a ddler food blog for the past 2 yrs til now I have not done so. My question, for a first time blogger that has no clue about coding is wordpress.com easy enough for a starter?? Is there another blog site that u advise others. Thank u for a great article! What do you think? Plenty of info can be found easily by going online. Still haven't decided on whether I should use WordPress, To be honest I am very interested in starting a blog. That's right! I don't have any HTML skills so I fear that settling on, I actually see the great reviews on WordPress.org. Minus of blogger is that blogger do not allow to earn money if your blog with adult content.
Check this out.
HostGator to install WordPress onto I opened my new site about -I have to say that blogger is easier to use comparing with wordpress -'htmlediting' is plus, free video downloading.
Minus of blogger that administation can delete your blog without alert. Blogger is a great intro. Or a Tumblr or WordPress, like you said a logger blog. It's dangerous to invest time making a business here in spite the fact that they are fun. Usually, ok I have opted to take it. Furthermore, I decided on godaddy. You see, I started to put gether my worpress.org stuff and have transferred my domain. Now I am stuck. Let me tell you something. I can't seem to get my temporary wordpress.org site to become my old domain name.
Which blog site is easiest for fans to subscribe to?
Is that even available in free blog platforms?
It gets missed in the massive news feed, I post it to Facebook. People complain that they have no information when I have a brand new post, there's not a subscription option, I have a weebly blog. Did you know that an experience so compelling that Katy Perry decided This Is How We Do it with the elegance of NYTimes, Sony, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Snoop Dogg and more. Consequently, wordPress requires no coding knowledge and is free software -it's the domain name and hosting you pay 'aboutasmuchasacupofcoffeepermonth' for. It gives you a website like the world's best and teaches you all about websites, find out how to make a WordPress blog. For p place to blog, and it continues to be the largest blogging community on the web. I must say bravo like in a single word. Now this updated list is really helpful for getting all the bloggers altogether. You should take it into account. Know what guys, I am owner of Namaste UI and follow a certain amount blogger that you have mentioned in the list.
Let me tell you one concern I have learned about life.
There's no MAGIC.
Have a look at my site…automotiverepairinsidernews. You still have to invest the time. Your choice. With Gregs FREE online tutorials and $ I said $ 12 This what you can build. Everything you need is there. My site crashed from my own stupidity, Hostgator had it up and running in 5 minutes. Let me know. You can lead a horse to water, but…. Essentially, enjoy the journey and if I can would have lost 50 work hours, I'd say if I had opted for a free site.a lot of free themes out there, like I said. Have you watched all of Gregs videos on you tube. So, you get what you pay for. I am sure that the $ 12 includes Hostgator, wordpress and Suffusion theme. Just go on and LOOK and Research. With wordpress, a free bog can crash. Free software gives you minimal customizations.org, you can download many free themes and customize them yourself.
Blogger is Google's free blog hosting site.
More popular at the turn of the millenium, Blogger still offers a great service but the designs are a bit elementary.
Try Adsense monetization, design a brand new layout and even edit your first piece of code. Login and publish your first post for free with only a Gmail account. 50 of the time, 'nonresponsive' support, dreadful performance, limited functionality, awful interface, My blog was down >. I know that the registrar responded instantly and were a great help. Therefore, even in transferring my domain, a manual process for them even when it's so easy to automate, they've been 'nonresponsive' and I had to bring in the registrar for which blog.com are resellers. Great insight on the world of Blogging.
I'm a complete newbie to this and … I don't have a FB account!!
My end goal is to eventually gain some ground and start my own biz someday.
I need to start a blog for cathartic reasons and wondered if journal type writing is appropriate for the web. What do you suggest? And so it's the most serious con in the Squarespace advantages and flaws list, and it would've been useful if everyone knew this major disadvantage before investing time energy into starting a blog on that platform. Literally just the domain and hosting are necessary Cheap will be getting your first month of hosting for 1 penny with the coffeemoney coupon. Cheapest will be using a GoDaddy coupon from Fat Wallet should be getting the domain name at GoDaddy. This where it starts getting very intriguing, right? This entry was very helpful. It's good that through this, I've had the chance to brush up with a certain amount blog sites that might suit my preferences. It is quite some amount of time since the last time that I've had a blog of my own and due to unforeseen circumstances, I have not maintained it and almost went on an online hiatus, in fact.
Thanks a lot David!
Not easy.
WordPress.com is designed for tally beginners who don't need much control. Adding that in. Anyways, my mom just started on WordPress.com and paid about $ 26 to get going. Have you heard of something like that before? Got any more details? Start a WordPress blog here, gether with other DB readers. Anyway, what you really seek for is a domain somewhere like GoDaddy or HostGator, and a hosting plan. Also, with these two things you can use WordPress.org which is FREE. Now look. You pay for it with addons. I'm sure you heard about this. I'm pretty sure, that's what not make any sense, Therefore if u will NOTICE I wanted free blog so If I have FREE BLOG with FREE theme why I have to pay for a customizing the FREE THEME. You should take this seriously. Wow, Xanga is still mention worthy?
Still, not that I have much of interest to say.
I'm just over the entire social networking platforms and have noone to talk to but myself!
Ive been missing the writing. Almost any blogger needs to know the exact percentage of blogs published, and needs to be able to access them at any time. You will see that you can not do this basic function, when you try the platform for yourself. You shall not know, since there is no way to count, even by number of posts per page, So in case you write 500 posts. So do not put energy into the platform without knowing this information in advance. To create an online store I will use wordpress. Considering the above said. Even the free plan has certain things the Wix free option doesn't and Weebly is easier to use overall. I feel Weebly is better. Yes, that's right! Ultimately, it depends on what kind of blog it could be. Just try out both for a week and see which you like best they're both free. On p of that, I couldn't log in anymore and I never found some ‘ customer ‘ it's just lost from that moment or after a while it was showing to me that BLOG DOES NOT EXIST or THAT I AM NOT A OWNER… This was a big disappointment for me!
Hello I used a BLOG. After a some blog a big lot, cOM for 3 years. By the way, a great article, has opened my eyes to some new options as I contemplate how/where to establish a blog look for to start. We're looking to do a multiauthor blog with a header/topic message and later posts from various members of the author group in response -each offering various perspectives on the pic at hand. Then, perhaps you can give some advice. Must I first transfer my content to wordpress.org and after that sign up, or sign up to host gator stright away? I currently have a blog on wordpress.com and I bought the domain name. Essentially, I'm looking to move to wordpress.org with hostgator doing the hosting. Try to avoid paying for redirects, it's a good idea to only have to buy your domain name and hosting plan. Nevertheless, write me any more Qs. I will 100 get the hosting setup and tell HostGator what domain you're using first, hereafter export content. I found that they have a Earn Cashback page which direct to cashback, great works bro you are doing a pretty good job. While browsing I found a site buytoearn.in. So found that this site is hosted on blogger which dont allow php and apache server on it.
Funny you ask, just made a video on a couple of kinds of advertising.
Enjoy and write me any questions https.//you love asking people to comment… well, have a happy day!
Know what guys, I might be deeply buried in your inwrite, To be honest I asked you question earlier. Monetizingwise, you can send paying customers to your business. Nonetheless, take it! Just think for a moment. You can build a trusting audience and send out good information to customers on Google +. It's true that almost any blogging platform has certain privileges and also for the most part there're ourselves. It's a well I like WordPress among all other existing platforms, when it boils down to me. Thank you very much for sharing valuable information, enjoyed the post throughout. So in case I start a.com blog will I be able to shift everything over to my new.org blog or would I have to start fresh?
Thanks Greg that's really helpful. I am not in a position at the moment to pay for a domain so in my opinion given that it's only a personal blog I will start on.com and see how it goes for quite a while hereafter when I am in a position to think about buying a domain I will reassess my situation. And so it's so simple and the ns of themes make any blog so unique. On p of that, I must say though, I have love wordpress. Doesn't it sound familiar? The article just keeps scrolling.
Now this has opened my eyes to plenty of other platforms.
Thanks for creating it, now this has been really useful though.
Wow, Know what, I didn't actually know there was so many. I am so confused on what are the steps that I'm almost sure I am mom who is interested in starting a mommy blog. Have no info what platform to use, By the way I want to buy a domain. Furthermore, I need to make my blog look pretty and add icons and stuff. Must I go with blogger or wordpress? I have a blog through blog.com.
However, Actually I started writing, and wanted to pick up that blog again… the site ain't working correctly, Since so.
I have to go through round about ways in case you are going to sign in… and I can't even think about creating a really new post without using the quickpost feature in my dashboard.
I tried blogging a couple of years ago, only got a few posts in, and after that writeped it. Therefore if wordpres or blogger so identical if we are not able to take care of and maintain as possible, I love you for this article and I think anyway, how can we take care of the website that we manage it that much good, similar bullshit ya not boss??? With that said, whenever your personal success its difficult to comprehend, That's a fact, it's unfortunate that the bad titles get rated on p on google and I'm sure some individuals can be fun for dozens of people as it helps them to share their beliefs and thinking with others.
Many blogging platforms are available these days that can won't do any good for aspiring bloggers who are looking to continue blogging for a long time. Get an actual domain name and You can try hosting for 1c so it's kind of like why not as you get to use WordPress.org like the big guys. Find your way to HostGator and use coupon COFFEEMONEY at checkout, in order to get this. Thanks and hey! Definitely wondered similar things long time ago in the past so here goes. Now let me tell you something. By the way I recommend this path, I see plenty of folks getting tied up with them and actually spending more money, oddly, free blogs are fun and ok. Hey I followed Ana's link over here to read your post -nice summary though I have an additional point I'll put in a ‘real' comment. Whenever making money is more convenient, ll also own a WordPress.org blog entirely so.
Either way is optimal though.
With the ease of WordPress.org these days and the fact people actually end up paying for things like a domain name on WordPress.com, Know what, I 100 recommend using the.org to start.
You can export/import your entire blog. You can definitely start on WP.com and move to WordPress.org later. I tried WordPress and it's not WYSIWYG with MS Word. Blogger has had a huge issue with its templates and its graphics insertion since the end of 2013 and none of their forums has figured out the answer, it's a wash. Let me know, I'd say in case you know the answer. I tried out WordPress with those same articles and it doesn't look right, the way it does on Blogger. Doesn't it sound familiar? I have a multilingual thread on my current blog, Blogger, and I wrote posts in advance. Catch with Wix is the premium features, that of course cost money, that you'll almost definitely need as you expand your website.

"Will you tell me why you are utterly cranky all of a sudden?"
Face to face with the rim of the wooden bath, you've had your knotted brows in a twist. Pout oh-so-long that Geralt knew as he sat behind you, seeking answers for your upset state. He'd gotten you out of your clothes; forcefully must you say. Earning a glare from him as he was peeling your clothes away like he was caring for his sick, pouty child.
No complaints were accepted as he'd given you the idea to care for your wounds in the tub. Downright secretive about wanting to feel the comfort of your nudity grazing against his without any monkey business going on.
The witcher has received constant grumbles and whines of protests as he poured the potent medicine that evaporated through the fresh wounds; painful enough for you to shriek while his arm surrounding your waist tightened with every whimper of your sobbing self; shushing your cries with a soft coo of his endearment on your ear and the feathery nuzzle of his nose against that tiny spot behind your ear while he soothes your pains.
They've fully had injured your back with more than just wallops. He'd knew by the looks of the lesions, the people in the castle has even burnt your skin with metal; scorching metal that has given you scars that would forever haunt oneself. The mere thought tormenting him by their brutal punishments; keeping him all in wonder when he has never received any violent retorts and schemes from you as they did everything in their willpower to strike a hand. Your submission making the witcher glower behind as Geralt caught sight of such deep wounds whilst taking off the gauze; seeing blood seeping out of the healing skin as it was a sign that he really and badly needed to treat your body.
Sobs were emitted while he watched your wounds dry from the potion he'd mix, receiving kisses on the cold, sweating nape of yours every now and then. A gesture that Geralt started doing when you were shrieking in the midst of being poured by such elixir while you felt his breath on your skin. Sweetly kissing through your pain and lowly humming that you were going to be okay and you've been good.
It felt like all the energy downed on you after he'd stop and was done pouring the elixir everywhere around your body. The warm water lining on your chest turned colder when you've slowly leaned your back on Geralt, hissing from the soreness but actually ending up loving the warmth that he could only give while he kept his burly arm around you, your lips still in a pout while staring at the bed from the far corner of the room; basking in the witcher's silence before he asked.
His question gotten you unready for an honest answer as he bluntly shot the query out, planning to resolve the problem with you in the best way that he thought. Being forthright.
"Hmm." you hummed back in displeasure, sounding exactly the same like how he does.
The corner of his lips lifted in a small smirk, his voice vibrating at the back of your head and against his chest. The buzz keeping you calm and at ease rather than being alone in the castle when he haven't arrived yet. Your anxiety giving you such trauma that made you want to sob again.
But, Geralt's distraction to stifle your cries has technically been useful when he felt you sigh again, watching your face from above and behind to see a frown etching to grow. He heedlessly fetched a cup of water with the palm of his hand, delicately pouring your cheek with water as he gruffly quipped.
"That's my line. Not yours, Midget."
Geralt repeated his gestures with you, lightly damping your hair with water as he gently brushed your tousled wet hair with the spaces of his fingers, keeping them light and comforting which made you lean back a lot more, accepting his gentleness after being physically whacked in harsh moments prior before he came around---your purpose of being upset has now been forgotten by his unfamiliar gestures that was tickling your spine with ants racing on your skin because of how his actions was giving you cavity. A sweet tooth.
Just being held so softly felt good in real life---you didn't know how comforting it feels even back in earth, but right now was just the right time to feel how you would yearn for it when Geralt wouldn't be around.
"I told you, before I even realized that you were important to me was after you've made a wish to the Djinn."
Your swollen cheek fell on the skin of his biceps; sighing while you stared out of nowhere and finally held onto his arm surrounding your waist, keeping you still and steady in his arms. His nudity becoming not much of a problem for you now because it was an experience that you could never forget; eventually having the privilege in familiarizing his body just like how a lover does while he did the same to you.
Though, his imperfect beauty could still get you blushing nevertheless as he liked seeing yours no matter how insecure you get---but he seemed to admire your nakedness a lot which he received with a 'men versus boobs' explanation that his kind of gender would always love the idea of breasts no matter how big or small as the same goes for a vagina.
You'd received a pleased hum after that and also some horny witcher begging and trying his best to get your clothes off in his sneaky techniques.
"I know. I'm sorry I was cranky, Geralt."
The white wet-haired witcher pursed his lips, looking down at your face as you've felt his gaze heavy while he calmly spoke.
"It's...alright. But, must it be for Eanraig to see and hear?"
You've given him another sincere, sweet and soft apology. Caressing your thumb over the top of his scarred hand which was under the waters and he'd let you graze over the tiniest marks on his fingers and palms, swaying under the bath water. Breathing calm and collected while he stayed in bath with you; cherishing such moment again that could get his chest feeling the lightest out of all the times he lived in the continent; more freeing to than the one he had with a particular sorceress whom he had also been connected with; via Djinn.
His free hand lifted away from leaning onto the edge of the tub, reaching down to sweep your hair to the side. Clearing the space on your neck and such wounds from the shoulder blades, others being a scar from his potent medicine that he has poured.
"I remembered your skin clearly in the back of my head. Thoroughly silk like a bairn's bum,"
He paused, prolonging the silence as he gently danced his fingers on the skin of your shoulders; too tender that it began to lick your spine, igniting the tiniest shiver when you've felt the soft, warm feathery feeling of his lips giving your painted shoulder a peck of his specific comfort that he only gives to people who have turned his world a much better place than how much of a hell it has been.
"Now, you are scarred." Geralt grumbled against your skin, giving one last kiss and making everything all worth while as he was still around. Continuously denouncing what they've done to his family---even beating Jaskier to pulp.
"---They've...turned you like me,"
You've slightly turned your head to see his amber eyes withdrawn from reality. Thoughts probably plaguing his mind while he scowled. A simple purse of your lips, suggesting to receive a small, quick buss has Geralt dipping his head down to sweetly smack your lips to his, letting him feel that you were there; finally there with him physically and he didn't need to worry.
Thus, it was just like that. Geralt and his presence, including such soft gestures that you rarely receive nor see that he does for anyone and a soundly kiss has let the upset feelings go away, simply just like that.
Even though, he has never confessed any love yet---this was forging you both to understand what connection you have for each other. Though, clearly unspecific and undistinguished. Or was this his type of love? a love never needed to be told for it can be felt?
The question here, does he even love you? was this love?
Partially turning around in his arms to see him gazing back at you, Geralt seemed to be nonplussed and introverted with his thoughts. Keeping words to himself while he was giving you a solemn frown of his face, examining your swollen eye that you tried pulling him out of his regret and blames with a quirky tone of your voice; sounding like nothing has happened to you nor have you been battered to bruising limbs.
"When are you going to leave?"
"After I take care of you, midget." he deeply murmured, watching you like a hawk with golden eyes as the candle light was making his eyes glow prettier than usual. You grabbed a handful amount of water with your palms, arms sore as you reached up to pour water on his face that surely gotten a deep, complain of his humming when it made him close his eyes from the uninvited rainfalls of liquid.
The fading colored grime has been softly scrubbed off by the pad of your damp thumbs over the apples of his cheeks. His gaze was utmost heavy, shooting you a warm, loving sensation on your chest; surrounding the fading Cicatrix that somehow turned insipid after the nights before with the witcher.
You couldn't help but notice his grouching and grumpy self as he scanned your face with an affectionate flicker in his amber that made you tut. The gentleness you were giving was a thorough unfamiliar feeling he always received from you despite of your negative characteristics---though, he doesn't mind it at all---sometimes, he does but that was beyond the point when he felt comfort from you and aspire to give it back despite of not knowing what and how comfort is to a witcher.
"Stop being such a wild cat---Let me guess, you haven't gotten to have your nap again?"
Geralt huffed out a breath of complaint. A short, low growl that made you giggle quickly when you wiped his face with your fingers; playfully glaring at how you were bathing him.
"When did I ever?"
"It seems like you haven't had it last night again---Stop scowling like you want to strangle me," you lightly poked the dimples of his nose that got him deeply growling his protests. His expressions completely emotionless as he turned his face to avoid your play-time; considering on biting your fingers off to stop annoying the heck out of him.
Howbeit, Geralt went on in silently letting you touch his face. Mesmerized by how his scars really never affected his beauty and probably added perfection over his gorgeousness. The witcher mutely let you trace the bridge of his nose and the scars on his face whilst intently staring at your face in return.
"---Until you came along," he surprisingly continued the topic, never breaking his gaze as he'd seen you lean closer to his face. The tangy scent he was familiar in recognizing from you, mixing with the medicine on your skin. Yet, it didn't stop him to wait for what you had in mind. Your bruised, healing lips brushing against his that made both of your chests tingly for over such sweet intimacy that you've both eventually become accustomed with.
Geralt pursed his lips for your thirsts to calm down; such desperate feeling that both parties yearned for. A twee, syrupy connection of your lips on his---a kiss that made warmth spread through you like an angel's halo trying to make you holy and worth for his affections.
Men in your world will certainly not impress you anymore. Geralt of Rivia has raised the bars of what men should be---he'd ruined the normality of what you expected from such gender because you believed that they may not reach the level of what you've felt for him.
Love as you may see now.
But, it can be quite blurry of a picture for a future that you do not hold or knew how it'll be for the both of you because you've teleported as a miracle that nobody expected to receive.
"If I---If I die---" your pessimist self started to run your mouth over Geralt. Yet, he was quick to cut you off with a sullen chide and an avoidance of your gaze with a grumpy sigh.
"Stop. Don't." he groused with the mouth ends pulled down, "---You're not going to die,"
"What if I do?"
His eyes turned penetrating as if he wanted to tell how much you are wrong about that argument. Those cat-eyes of his; sharp and making a stand for the idea he didn't want to accept.
"I will never let that happen. They can have me hunt down whatever they want, even slice a throat of a nobleman or a monster but I will never let anything happen to you,"
The witcher gently scooped water with a palm of his hand, pouring them over your face. Coming forth with a scrub of it as he shoved his large palm that made you shriek against his hold while he lightly scoured your face as a gesture to clean you more inside the bath; avoiding your healing bruises.
"---I don't want to hear that again while I give you a bath,"
Darkness suddenly turned into seeing Geralt's stony stare after being suffocated by his hand that was suddenly shoved on your face, "I'm sorry," you immediately tried to woo over his vexation, your face wet from the bath water he tried to rinse you in, an involuntary response of your arms slipping around his bare waist shocked your consciousness because of how touchy-feely you've become around him.
The latter welcomed your apology and touches, humming in appeasement for your quick sorry; knowing your way with him and reading that he could not tolerate such physical-contact from you without liking the feel of your skin, you've leaned your body more to him---your naked chests flushed together that got him curling his lips in a small smile whilst feeling your forehead fall on the side of his neck, nuzzling with an apology.
"I-I didn't mean to upset you,"
Quietude embraced you both. Sitting in a tub. Entirely bare for each other to see but it was so wholesome for the betterment of your relationship with him; nurturing what understanding you both have for each other, not entirely specific nor knowing what it is. As a matter of fact, you do know what you felt for him, but not the other way around.
"She..She isn't a queen in my world,"
Bamboozle screamed inside his eyes for your statement, his fingers gliding along the small of your back under the waters as he hummed in curiosity.
"Hmm?"
You've remember the time that the queen has visited your cell. Retched between the hatch of the door came in view was your kind boss who wore the finest set of golden, silk, long gown with rich trimmings. She stopped by to check on your victimized state with a glaze of ignorance in her eyes. She didn't care for your condition because if so, she wouldn't have left the slammer with a quiet scoff.
Out of all the people who could turn out evil was a queen in Geralt's world and a boss you've highly given respect to.
Nonetheless, in this world; it seemed to be like the opposite personalities of how people had been in your world.
"Your queen. Queen Makeda. She's named Angela Cincinnati. The boss of mine who also works in the pizza parlor that I'm in,"
Geralt has leaned back on the edge of the tub in a relaxed posture, lifting his other hand every now and then to pour water on your hair that tickled your insides because of how cold the water has been already. His warmth being your therapy while thinking such hypothetical answers for what mysteries that the continent has been giving you. Jotting down possibilities that a typical earthling could try to guess like they were watching a very interesting movie.
"Does this mean I have someone who looks like me in this world too?" pause. "---Does she have a better life than me?"
Your witcher cocked his head to the side as he was in deep thought over the woman who looked like you. His mouth opening and closing for whatever shit he wanted to say because Savia has been the person who ruined your future by creating such crimes being pointed at you because you looked like her twin.
"Worse. I can say that you had a better life than her and also complicated yours at the same time," he gravely informed.
"My doppelganger then? have you already seen her?"
"Will you try to find her if I say yes?"
"No. I...don't wanna scare her with this drama movie I'm in."
You've leaned away from Geralt and his consoling cuddles, trying hard to rip your body away from him when all you wanted was to bask in his own embrace. Splashing your face with more bath water, he'd given you a curious glint of his eyes. Fixating his gaze on your bare form, subtly sliding his focus on the depths of your neck and wanting nothing more than to give more sweet busses of care. Geralt ignored the modern reference you've muttered about being in a movie and found it more interesting to appreciate the nudity you've freely have been giving him.
It's not like you were naked all the time. The witcher snickered to himself; appreciating the best view of you that he can ever get.
"The water's cold now. Are we done?" you softly whispered, the thought of your doppelganger out there; like a twin from another mother and dimension that you didn't expect to have. It was interesting to know, but frightening to actually see the real her because people like your doppelganger who lived in the medieval era might not be a great sight for the woman.
Geralt grabbed onto the end of the tub, whisking a thin, Ivory robe that was made of silk as he deeply grumbled, "Stand."
You've stood on your feet, hopping off the tub entirely dripping wet from the bath water; feeling eyes heavy on your body and raking over your nudity from behind. The heat started to rise up your face again, making you clear your throat when you've turned your body to grab onto the robe that Geralt has reached out for you. His keen peepers grabbing the chance to shamelessly rake your body in silence.
He'd received no refusal or a loud scolding after thinking it through that he had the liberty of doing so; also, the idea being a gift after trying to protect you from any harm and sacrificing over an endless hunt just for the Kaedwenians to cease their punishments.
"Hmm. A movie. I missed watching one. Though, It's not like if I ask you to go on a date with me again, Geralt---A movie date this time---watching a movie with you will never happen," you turned your head at your front, slipping your arms inside the short sleeves while tightening the knot around your waist; frowning when the witcher couldn't see your face. The truth beginning to bother you when problems began to rise and for such abrupt topic that lingered along your consciousness.
"---Because you and I both live in different worlds, it's like they collide."
Geralt kept his mouth hushed. The loud splash of water echoing around the room when he left the wooden tub; strolling behind to promenade past you. His stark-naked self never bothering him after the night you both had each other. Basking in more of his nudity especially when he slept; knowing that he was mentally complaining over how reserved he needed to be while you slept beside him, his clothes very uncomfortable because of the heat he was feeling.
Basically, he did not know the meaning of clothes after the night of ravish; constantly taking his slumbers in the nude as he covertly tried to wrench them off you as well with his witcher needs.
His bare back and derriere was displayed before you, the distinct foramen of his brawny back giving you a loud greeting as he grabbed onto his trousers on the end of the bed, lending his ear and slipping on his leather pants that was bursting through the seams because of his thick thunder thighs and curvacious derriere.
"My world and yours, they sound like a parallel universe that I completely don't understand even back in earth, it's too complicated to know---too scientific for my thriving brain,"
Quick panic-stricken questions were sent to the witcher; the motion of the words hasty and apprehensive because of such negative ideas forming inside your head; skyrocketing like a plague in your mind while Geralt wore his breeches, not trying to take cover in front of you.
You couldn't help but shift your eyes constantly at Geralt and the queen sized bed, his gigantic biceps straining along his movements while buttoning his pants; lowly grunting from each pull of the hem to fit his curvaceous, muscled arse that you couldn't help but clear your throat, forgetting what you needed to say for a second and being distracted over your trembling anxiety.
You eyes took heed of the opened windows where the brisk wind was slipping in a breeze, seeing how you could see the pale moon from afar. A guess telling you that the room was in a high place. In a few short strides, you've looked out of the window, peering up the Tartarean night sky to meet the moon in its full glory, finding no flaw that you were in a different planet and not yours.
Confusing and complicated to understand in your human perspective because nothing human was basically being shown as you lived in their world.
"This...This is your earth. Your continent. While my earth out there also exists without any one of you knowing. What if I have a count down while I stay in your world---what will happen to me---would I get to stay alive forever in this world when I have been too dependent over you?"
Heavy strides alarmed you for Geralt's presence who loomed behind your back. His mouth curled down when he has heard your questions; feeling no trust in between you both, hesitance scrambling your way and filling your heart when it hasn't been there before you even came to the castle. It was baffling him for your curiosity and determined self to seek answers when he has no answer to it at all.
The sorceress has probably told stuff to you, he silently thought as he brushed a hand over your arm and clothed shoulder. The roughness of his palm colliding against your bruised ones as he tries his best to provide what you needed; not knowing what because of how he does not understand this kind of relationship with women because it has always been typically greed, lust or a needed release to calm his overly mutations.
Except for you, Yennefer or Renfri because he actually really cares.
"Do you not want me to protect you?" he gravely mumbled behind, seeming to be slightly taking umbrage after hearing the queries.
"You're only doing this because you have no other choice just like how you've told the king that I was your betrothed when it isn't true at all,"
How sure were you to say that it wasn't true?
Reflecting and debating his thoughts over your judgement, Geralt marred an agonized frown that creased his forehead. He rarely does claim such label but he didn't regret the action after hearing how it made the king lessen the punishments for you; excluding all planned damnation. The witcher had no explanations about the moment he had called you his betrothed nor did he want whatever you were thinking about his actions.
Hence, it instantly made him cantankerous when he hasn't been feeling it before you opened that mouth of yours again.
"You think I have done it with a purpose I don't understand," he incoherently rumbled in his baritone timbre. Slightly pulling away from his own touch on yours to turn around and walk through the end of the bed to wear and grab onto his armor and under shirt, half naked with a straining back; all rigid and stressing under the skin.
"Geralt---"
"With the mishaps of my world and yours, if I ask you to stay; will you leave your kingdom?"
Tumblr media
He'd turn his foot around to see him slip the under tunic over his head, the scowl prominent making him appear stony; dour and solemn. His eyes eager while it reflects the candle light on the side of the bed. Reading through the golden hues lay a pining greed that the witcher never knew he craves for; such hungering he does not know that he wanted to find and receive when it was his own faults over not having it because when he feels a deeper connection with someone, the white wolf suddenly becomes disfunctional; pushing her away because of not spitting the truth about his feelings.
He was capable of it; having feelings over another. Love as people may describe but he was in denial and can be reflective, the processing quite slower than usual because he had never received love through out his lifetime; not even a mother who actually cared.
No one.
You didn't understand him; what he really wanted to say or do because his words were spoken on a race track, passing through the chuckholes that could get you knowing what his true feelings were.
Was he letting you stay out of love or out of pity that you were lost, vulnerable and needed adoption?
"Do you believe in love, Geralt?" you've countered back, feeling the warmth spread around your chest for skipping around bushes over the real meaning behind your words; sounding like a confession if he was smart enough. The warmth spreading through like wildfire, scathing your skin as it felt like it was burning from the reality you were seeing.
Tumblr media
"---Or are you only doing this because of the Djinn incident? you're only feeling this way for me because I came around while Yennefer isn't?"
The latter gave a grim frown upon the mention of her name. Just like how he always does when Jaskier says her name when it shouldn't been uttered. Now, it was your turn to give a grouch. Your feigned smile joyless when Geralt was unblinking from your unexpected argument.
Was this true love you have with him? Did he even feel the same way when he can't even say the word at all? or will you both hate each other until it grows into spite?
Will you eventually be killed by the hands of a man you love as said by Eanraig's understanding over the curse set between?
"I've heard from the sorceress that you have been finding Yennefer from her a month before I came along and that this connection I had with you also had been the same with that Vengerberg. What if she comes back around? what will happen to me?"
Ingrith has said more information than you can bear. You weren't just physically pained but also mentally as well for whatever bullcrap she wanted to address. Palms over your ears were the only solution to shut the truth off as it echoed around the dungeon. She'd smirked when you've whimpered from the stones, the back of your sweater drenched in blood for using hardened sticks which had pointy twigs; never believing what they were doing to you as they also tried to throughly kick your stomach.
The men who were ordered to do so had no idea why they've been commanded to batter your torso, but you knew it had something to be involved with the cunning sorceress because of how she'd given another dagger of her gaze lingering on your middle like you would magically grow a baby inside of it when it was impossible from the start because of Geralt's infertility.
The witcher was like a bomb about to detonate. Though, the explosion never came other than a tight clench of his jaw. Geralt was wearing a lour like a bad omen over being interrogated; debating over answering the confusing truth that left him debating over himself as well. He has never remembered the sorceress until you've mentioned her; remembering that he'd taken full measures to even try finding Yennefer's long lost cousin for a plan to get back with her and earning nothing in return.
Tumblr media
"You're blathering complete nonsense, Midget. You've also been listening to Ingrith when I told you not to. She's cunning and will do anything to ruin you---kill you,"
Your mouth turned upside down; tighter and pensive for being swerved again, "You didn't answer my question." an exasperated huff was let out, "---she was once important to you. I've heard from your bard; you had adventures with her, shared powerful moments that are exactly the opposite of what we are having---she's the first woman you've loved. A powerful, independent lady that you will never regret having in your life because she can defend everyone---and I'm...just me,"
You didn't know what has gotten to you. The insecurities lighting up the sky, constantly reminding you that his existence can be a mere catch of your dreams because he was too good to be true---or jealousy infecting your blood into thinking that he would leave you alone when he never had yet?
Perhaps, it may be how proud Jaskier has told you that she was powerful that it has intimidated you. Her name seems to be beautiful and there was no doubt she was when he has been avoiding of hearing her name.
He had probably been devoted of Yennefer when a tight frown couldn't be erased upon the lips you have been kissing---thoughtlessly thinking that it was genuine or had any meaning to it.
"Really, what am I to you? "
"My home. Also equally important."
"More important than her? Do you dream of her?"
"You know I don't---not anymore."
Not anymore, he said. So, he does dream of her before.
Crossing your arms over your chest, your fingers went straight to the sleeves, anxiously rubbing over the silk against each other for the dreading beats of your heart, your eyes turning to look away as you quietly spoke; highly aware of an expected rejection.
"If I tell you what I really feel about you, will you give me an answer?" you softly spoke to the chilly air embracing your fidgety form.
"---Because then, you will know my answer about staying in this world you're in."
You've turned your head to see him wearing a permanent pucker of his brows, veiled with furrows of indifference and a look of betrayal. Your bluntness being a detriment because of giving an indefinite answer as well, avoiding his question and misunderstanding the sour expression on your face a while ago.
Tumblr media
"Is it hate? Disgust?" he gruffly gnarled. His attitude turning colder like an executioner's ax, unaware of the slight wince on your face because of how glazed he appeared to be.
"---because I am highly aware of what people see of me. I am at loss for what Ingrith must've told; lies or what may result that I am seeing you look at me like I've cast the Djinn's curse on you when you have never looked at me like that at all,"
He spat those words with a sardonic drip of his tongue. The frown darkening his expression more than it ever was.
"Don't blame me on this one, Geralt. Don't shift my words like I think so lowly of you when you and I both don't know the real deal between us with the Djinn incident,"
Geralt loudly exhaled his breath through his nose, marching towards you with the face of an angry ape. Disbelieving what he was comprehending from you, saying that what you shared was beyond reality; like he has been told by it the second time. Your words inconspicuous of loudly saying that maybe what you were both feeling was magic after all; having the presence of the Djinn around  for another relationship that he was having.
"You don't want to stay," he ceased his footsteps, looming before you. His irritation suddenly intimidating like a bulldozer when you realized he was bigger than he could get if he was mad at whatever you've done; or probably it was just your point of view because you were feeling small over his blaring anger.
"---Isn't that what you wanted to say?" Geralt emphasized much clearer this time, drawling his words with a hopeful hint that he just misunderstood you and he was right.
"What---? I didn't even said that! Give me a reason to stay then! I am in shambles for your way of thinking right now!"
He had a wide-legged stance; leaning onto more of your personal space while his Aureate eyes deeply stared into yours. Volatile and blazing as it looked like a fixed glare, baring his teeth as it curled---his fangs slipping through as he bluntly spoke.
"You aren't being entirely forthright,"
You couldn't help but cross your arms tighter against your chest, shuffling on your feet as you mentally gasp from his retort. Defensive as his attitude was beginning to irritate you too.
"Well, you aren't being forthright too!"
Geralt huffed before you. Momentarily scoping out the ceilings before peering down and staring right back with blazing peepers. Though, the witcher has never raised his voice on you when you've did. But, you knew he was fuming; seething deep inside, "I don't know what's wrong with you." he gravely mumbled to himself, steaming up from your sudden, churlish attitude.
"---you're a cherub for a while then acting hostile the next. Is this your pathetic insecurity talking or you just hate me all of a sudden?"
Your eyes instantly went wide open and jaw falling slack at how he'd open his mouth. Raising a finger to his chest as you slightly backed away.
"You're calling my insecurity pathetic?" you uttered in disbelief, swallowing hard for having to hear him be this way---though, you knew he was capable of being such because of how blunt he was. But, he was never mean to you as much as calling your insecurity pathetic. Tight lips were given to the witcher who had his chest puffed out for his own frustrations and repulse.
"---Also, aren't you the one who said that maybe this whole thing is actually just the Djinn effects before you've even---! Even---!?" put his pickle in a jar. Wreck the punani. Ravished you in bed. Shared Netflix and Chill despite having no Netflix in their world.
You shook your head for stammering, quietly growling for the annoyance he'd given after basically taking care of you---expecting that it was done out of love, just like how you've first initially thought of staying forever by his side when he has asked you to stay in their world regardless of the consequences and disadvantages.
"What's next then? My anxiety is childish for you too? nonsense?" pause. "---You don't even know what I mean---and even have no idea about what feelings I was talking about. You can't even tell me what happened between you and Yennefer without disregarding my question or avoiding the topic---or even cut Jaskier off!"
Standing akimbo, you've narrowed your eyes, tilting your chin to the fullest because of his skyscraper height. The displeasure shown from how your nose was twisted and from how you couldn't control your mouth from taking a marathon.
"If I shut up and never question you about things anymore then it just means that I don't care for you at all when I do so badly. Do you know what this means to me? Nobody has plagued my mind so hard---no other man has filled my mind with crazed thoughts. In my world, this means that I---"
Geralt immediately cut you off. His teeth bared and jaw set as he interrupted you out of the blue, catching you off guard.
"It must be for the better then," he rasped, clearly disgruntled for what he should respond to the quick blatter of your brain. His mind gripping so hard like wires being tightened.
Tumblr media
"---It must be for the better that you tighten that mouth of yours because you don't know when to shut up sometimes,"
Geralt had a cloudy countenance from his sudden bark. Suddenly forgetting how to respond after hearing every word inside his head. He shouldn't have cut you off especially when you were about to say your secret---the one you've been delibitating over countless of times inside your head; making everything sure before saying those heartfelt words because it was three words that meant the world to you as it will be the first.
Yet, the witcher had to fuck everything up with his petulant mood.
Your clenched fists turned slack. Expression stolid with your throat tightly swallowing the bane sipping through your esophagus like it was being punished for even hoarding all your confidence over confessing what you've felt for the white wolf. You've rapidly blinked your hazy, cloudy eyes; your chest tightening because it was reading 'rejection' because of how Geralt wanted you to shut up.
Maybe, he didn't need to hear the confession at all.
Eyes cast downward; feeling the medicines he'd given you seep through your skin and making everything numb. You didn't expect the concoction to also numb your fragile heart, experiencing your first heart break. Your palms turned clammy over tightening them over. Passing beside Geralt and avoiding those eyes that was thoroughly regretting what has been said, the bed may seem to be a better place to faint on and cry yourself through the night rather than his comforting arms that you wouldn't get to reject if he'd say his apologies, trying to stop you from crying.
Hurriedly hiding your face away from him, you've sat on the bed with your back away from him. Your face like rain experiencing in the middle of thunder, utterly gloomy and despair for reading the signs in the opposite of what you didn't expect. Forgetting that love shouldn't be filled with expectations so disappointments may be less.
Your toes were scuffing against the carpet with a voice turning smaller, shaky as the tears were threatening to fall and it would be when Geralt decides to talk.
"I hope you didn't say that but...but considering my profound hearing tonight and how angry you made me feel, I suggest that you take care of that monster hunting of yours. I sincerely hope you find that witch. You can throw me away soon so you couldn't hear anything from me again, Geralt. You want me to zip it? I'll zip it, then. Don't bother talking to me if you genuinely don't want to,"
Tumblr media
Everything would be perfect. This would've been a utopian scenery when your leading man decides to wrap his arms around you, comforting you from the verge of crying your heart out for his mistakes or for both of yours. But, Geralt was no leading man or a prince that he was highly opposing of. He was beyond repair or a man whom you needed to understand more than any normal one should because of how he was raised and created.
Geralt of Rivia was a witcher you couldn't understand. Hence, he was more human than he could ever get as he decided to be unresponsive. Silent and basking in his own regret. Just like a new potion he'd recently encountered, trying to decipher how it worked---knowing the ingredients to get you simmering down in no time.
It was a wrong word to say. Geralt was sure of it. He was beginning to argue with himself, grinding his own teeth together when he has seen your posture slouch. Your fingers fiddling with the sheets of the mattress, tightly holding them in your hands as you looked outside of the window from the side of the bed, avoiding his eyes.
Then, he heard familiar padded footsteps coming forth outside the doors of your chambers.
Eanraig. He was being requested to be seen for his upcoming hunt in a few hours.
Geralt was dreading to leave you in a state like this because he knew you were mad.
He heard loud taps against the locked door which has subtly make you turn your head towards the doorway without wholly turning your body. A frustrated growl reverberated around the four corners of the room---it was Geralt.
The latter tightly closed his fists on his sides, shooting daggers on your back who avoided giving him attention after his fuming episode, hearing the word 'fuck' slipping through his lips in such an exasperated bark to himself while he padded through the room and grabbed onto his belongings; his weapons and his resentment for such an argument that you blocked him in after receiving a petty, personal attack.
You've heard the lock sliding out of its hook. Swiftly turning on your bed, Geralt was already paving his way out of the door, heavily marching and begrudging. He'd open the door to reveal Eanraig raising an arm to knock a little more louder.
"The king requests for you, Geralt---"
Tumblr media
The witcher gave a displeased, unmannerly grumble of his chest. A hum that surely given the druid an understanding that he was not in the best mood to talk, passing through Eanraig as he went straight out of the door with the nastiest scowl he has seen since the moment he arrived.
Lovers Quarrel. He mindlessly thought to himself, watching the witcher strut away and along the stoned hallways like he was bringing all the storm with him. Nobody would notice he was aggravated if they knew him better.
Eanraig quietly shut the door behind him, his eyes meeting your bleary ones that complimented the pouty frown growing more and more when you've realized Geralt left you all mad, never even intending to comfort you, ask what 'feelings' you meant or even bother to tell you that he didn't mean you were pathetic.
In a flash, you've gotten a queasy feeling inside of your stomach which made you grab onto your mouth, your face flinching as you suddenly stood up on your feet, "Little woman," the druid sauntered to where you've strolled---before the open windows as you shot your head out of it, retching after a little while before he was beside you, calmly patting your back to make you feel better.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just...nauseous. Thank you, Eanraig." wiping your mouth with the back of your palm, you've heaved exhausted breaths while the druid ushered you to sit on the bed. Talking in the midst of it, assuring him that it was nothing but just a stomach bug and feeling weary over it, "---Probably because they've beaten me to pulp,"
The Druid earnestly stared upon your pale face. Hands shaky as you grab onto the soft sheets, softly grazing them beneath the pad of your fingers, caressing with such feeble strength. Eanraig scrutinized your condition as you turned your head away with a face falling over your current fight with the witcher.
The latter languidly sat beside you, a genuine smile turning his eyes into crescent shapes that tells he was intrigued and amused over what signs was receiving from you especially the warm, tender aura radiating off you; more than what you can offer like you came in two's.
"Will you wholeheartedly accept the responsibility of being the mother of your witcher's child, little one?"

Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Are we there yet?"
"Henry, shush."
"Are we there yet, though?"
Henry called shots over who will be driving today. It's not that he doesn't always drive---he does for most of the time. But, you’ve ruined it because you were being cheeky over wanting to drive his beautiful, sleek car. He tried to convince you that he was the better driver compared to you---pursuing to keep his car uninjured because you both know he treats them like his favorite miniatures that he always tries to paint on. 
Your boyfriend was about to open his mouth and mock over how you were driving in a slow pace. It wasn't your fault that you were nervous by being attentively stared by Henry---probably judging you for how you've been pressing the brakes a little too harder than normal resulting with everyone moving back and forth in the car like it was skipping to the loo.
Even Kal had to bark out loud from behind because your driving made him fall to the floor, his huge, Akita body hitting the back of your seat which made you snicker and laugh in your annoying 'hehehe' giggle when Kal’s dad has given you a feigned glower from the side. 
"Are you sure you didn't cheat with your driving test? you’re literally driving too slow---I’d probably arrive on the destination---faster with a horse," Henry mischievously added, raising a brow as he was looking at you; sitting on the shotgun seat.
Unconsciously, you've given him the side eye, taking your eyes off the road and lowly muttering your endearment for him in a warning tone, "Puppy..."
Henry sounded to be in distress, his eyes bulging out of his eye sockets for seeing you distracted over his teasing self, his accent utterly obvious the more he panicked over your driving skills, "Don't look at me---look at the road!"
"I AM!" you frantically yelled in between deciding to stare into his lovely self or actually focusing on driving, "---you're annoying me right now. I'm trying my best not to hit a car or something if I went past 60 km/h,"
The car basically revved at your exasperation, your foot stepping on the accelerator when you've began to increase speed. Swiftly turning up from 60 km/h to over a hundred in the middle of the highway, avoiding and swerving over a sports car that had the man glancing from the driver's seat to see Henry's elegant car speeding past his in an abnormal way like you were a race car driver.
You were best at driving; the type of driving seen whenever you play need-for-speed. You always win first place whenever you play.
"Woah! Babe, babe, babe!---alright, alright! Slow down before you both kill us and get charged with an over speeding ticket!"
A smirk was immediately growing on your face when you've seen the sport's car you've swerved from behind race up to you, the driver’s ego practically being challenged when he realized you were a woman. Henry had his hands up in surrender, running his mouth on you as he continued to playfully judge your incredible driving skills---honestly, you were suddenly looking hot in his perspective when he caught the grin you've managed to let him see as you looked on the side mirror, daring the driver to overpass yours. 
"I told you to let me drive," Henry deeply muttered as a matter of fact, still teasing and being puckish as he sat completely bored on the shotgun seat, just watching how adorable and beautiful you were while driving his car.
You've slowed down for his sake, feeling his pretty baby blues on your form, "Oh my God---MEN!" exasperatedly, you sighed completely defeated. Your boyfriend catching sight of your smiling self, "---Don't you trust my driving skills?"
"To be honest, Nugget?" he plainly started, glancing on the road with a lovely grin. His teeth showing, fangs slipping in between his curled, cherry red lips.
"---No. You keep on running over chuckholes and press the brakes too hard,"
You've quickly gave him a glimpse of your curious self when you've felt the car seat bounce from a certain someone who was swaying his body from left to right, being in tune at the same time with the music playing on the radio like a kid who was excited to where they were going, "---keeps me going back and forth like we're in a bump car,"
Tumblr media
One loud coo came from your side, giggling as you saw his head snapping from side to side; smiling in the middle of it all as he drastically showed you how you've made his body bounce from your driving. Henry heard your giggle and instantly stopped when he heard you laughing. A blush creeping its way to his face due to embarrassment.
"Oh my, Puppy!---you're adorable! Do it again!"
He shook his head, sinking on his seat and wanting for it to wallow in his shame. His eyes focused on the road, a small smile framing his features while he cleared his throat, his pitch jumping deeper as if he was serious and sending a warning, "I'm not taking chances. You're trying to make me look foolish---also, eyes on the road,"
Your giggles turned louder at that, catching how he'd basically turned into a big baby beside you and it seemed to be like it was an accident. Silence engulfed you both in, the radio being the only sound that kept everything inaudible. You were sure he was busy tapping on his phone before going back to driving with a pretty faster speed when you've felt a rough palm fall on your clothed, inner thigh.
The simple touch from him made you shift in your seat, your heart beat ringing in your ears from how his effect can ruin your focus with just one graze of his fingers on your skin.
"Henry," you tried catching his attention from his phone, calling his name which got him sparing a glance in a hot second, his thick fingers thrumming over your knee before his fingers danced along the top of your thigh; describing his habit as protective and letting you know that you were his and the same goes around for you.
"Stop touching my thigh---I can't drive seriously."
"Hmm?" he deeply hummed in question, chuckling to see you trying to keep a straight face as you drove to where you wanted. Henry shook his head, thoroughly naughty and cheeky as he gripped your thigh firmly with his fingers before speaking.
"---How about, no?"

7 BILLION PEOPLE IN EARTH. YOUR DIMENSION. There was a myth that seven people might look exactly like you out of the billion that were born. Though, being identical was a once in a blue moon circumstance that held no support or proof that it happened.
Twins even had their own genetic differences, their DNA's were not even the same or even mutually identical to one another.
But, you were transported into another dimension that you didn't know about and based on their conversation and how you've perceived from what they were saying is that you have already been in their hands when it never even happened from the start.
They sounded like they've already seen you somewhere when they haven't at all.
Chevaliers circled around you with their swords sheathed from where it rightfully belongs. They've had a malicious glint in their eyes, dangerous and full of spite. Disgust even included in their humanized souls---if they were even still human. They were looking as if you were an oddball. Judgemental to the fullest; vaguely telling that you were considered as a freak for being the witcher's woman.
Forest green eyes scanned yours, listless but an anomalous situation from the group of uncharitable gallants who seemed to have similar odious characteristics. This cavalier stood out rather than the rest because his eyes held sympathy and not hostility. He was gracile, the same body built as Jaskier. But, wearing no armor just like the vampire you loathed the most. Other than a brown doublet which matches his chocolate colored hair.
He crouched before you, thoroughly scrutinizing your face under his gaze; finding something distinctive or common with the lass that they have captured three days ago, "Wasn't she the one we captured, Ty? That thief named Savia?" his tone held curiosity and astonishment when he saw the exact same face of the woman.
There was no differences except from the aura he could feel. You had her face, voice and body structure. Entirely the same for his wits to disfunction from what he has witnessed.
The scrubbing echo of gravel, dirt and leather made you turn your head to where it was. Tybalt. The fucking vampire who stabbed you on the hip and tried to sell those women away. He was there, right in front of you; grinning like a mad man like he has caught a mouse in the cage, entirely anticipating this moment to capture you once again with purposes you didn't know yet.
Kolby was nowhere to be found. After trying to protect you from the hands of Tybalt, your Hirikka was pushed back by the vampire and his strength, making you screech as Kolby loudly whimpered and growled when he'd stumbled; his back flat from the far distance before skedaddling off through the woods. The simple escape back to where he belonged pinched a your heart because he had already been a part of what made you happy with your stay in their dimension.
You didn't expect his leave to be so early; in the midst of being captured by the hands of real life monsters.
If people were scared of monsters in this world you were currently in, then they should think twice because the cruel form of life in every damn world was the humanity it thrives in; continuing to become cruel, vicious, evil and cunning because people lived to strive more with greed surging through their veins as their own demons try to conquer.
Humanity was everyone's main enemy and not their monsters.
Tybalt gave you a subtle tilt of his head, his grin utterly sinister; those teeth of his never showing the fangs that you have seen back at the marketplace when he was trying to provoke Geralt as he was butchering off his knightly minions.
The break of dawn was coming to a start. Peachy orange glow of the sun hiding began to rest beneath the mountains and clouds that looked the same back in earth. Its glow have made everything more frightening while you were surrounded by a bunch of armored men and a vampire who obviously had strength and skills to kill you in a blink of an eye.
Geralt never scared you because his heart was good. No doubt about that because he had offer you his house from the first day you've met, even treating your wounds and saving you from an Alghoul who wanted to eat your insides. But, Tybalt was different. He didn't appear to be like a person to trust even the slightest except if you were a princess in the castle.
He had his hands on his hips, eyes digging to examine your face. The way he stood held power and cruelty as he clicked his tongue, "S'not the feisty one. I know this maiden's scent. She's the real one, aren't ye', you wench?"
Tybalt abruptly crouched down in front of you, his fingers speedily grabbing onto your roots and turning them in an aching posture that had you growling, teeth barred from the feral reaction. The wrinkles of his nose shown when he defiled your space, abrasing the column of your neck that ignited an intense shiver from the disgust as you cowered away and struggled against his hold.
You've heard Jaskier's footing come to a stand, his doublet spilled with his own blood. Hair all wild and facial expression livid for their sudden visit. The golden, sharp dagger tightened around his fist as he marched heavy steps towards the higher vampire.
But, his assault came to a stop when one cavalier shielded him before he could have Tybalt within reach, strongly punching him in the gut that made him stumble to the ground in less than a second. Jaskier sputtered out droplets of blood, a pointed sword punctuating the tip on his jugular.
Jaskier's pained moans made you snarl right back at the queen's right hand man which made him instinctively tut, "But, the fragrance has a distinctive scent to it now---I don't even know what's runnin' inside the mind of this whore anymore," Pause. Tybalt huffed, scoffing with a grin as he interrogated, "---What did the witcher do to ye'?"
You could feel his terrible breath on your face. His hold unwavering from the resolute strength that he had when you lowly grated through clenched teeth, your eyes screaming elfish because of how you were trying to dillydally in hopes of seeing a white haired witcher to come running towards you with his horse. But, considering how he was probably out to hunt a monster, he was probably busy and distracted. So, expecting the worst was better than awaiting for a moment that will never come.
"Me." you fooled around despite being in the vampire's hold, "---He's doing me. I've waited for the time to say that if someone ever asks me what my lover does---so, worth it, Leonidas."
From your foolish response, Tybalt sneered before nodding off towards the paladins who surrounded both you and Jaskier; sharing an understanding to do what is needed and before you could even turn your head back to check on Jaskier, they were already beating him down to pulp. You've heard more grunts from the twink of a toubadour which made your eyesight go foggy from being hopeless and such a waste to live in their world where you had no magic to keep everyone out of danger, "No! Don't hurt him!" you shrieked out loud, the gallants never ceasing despite of your pleads.
More blood dripped out of the side of Jaskier's lip as he took another strong blow on the gut; making his body jerk that laid from the outstretched land of the meadow. You've uttered one loud scream to catch their attention, noticing the other gallant that you noticed to be standing on a corner was just watching everything unfold like he didn't want to be involved with their horseshit.
"I swear to God, he's a weakling! Stop!---please, stop! You'll have your witcher! I'll give you your witcher just stop!"
With one signal of his head, the cavaliers stopped their battering. Jaskier feebly straightened his limbs over the short grass, coughing out more blood from their corporal punishments, grumbling out a grouse from your choice of words in which you described him with, "Shit. Rat. I've stabbed three knights in the neck for you."
If Jaskier didn't acknowledge that fact and the risk which he has given to keep you alive, you wouldn't have noticed three dead bodies laying on the farthest end of the meadow where the forest began to meet its field.
You've harshly turned your head back to Tybalt, wanting to spit on his face for being one of the best imbecile in their world but decided against it to not irritate him further until Geralt was around. His eyes were livid, staring back at you and in your peripheral vision, you've seen the back door of your house slightly ajar, a slip of a pair of the prettiest blue eyes hidden behind the hatch that made you swallow from the consternation of Cirilla being found and taken with you.
If one person was needed for capture, it should be you; not the princess. If one was to leave their world, it must be you because you didn't belong to their dimension from the start.
One cavalier took his mask off, shaking his head for his black, medium length hair to fall down his neck as he curiously crouched beside you and Tybalt. Features telling you that he was stupefied from what he was seeing with his fixated gaze on your face, "There's a whole lotta' crazy we got here in the continent! The Butcher of Blaviken created bloodbath for this maiden?"
Though, astonishment isn't the only sensation he was feeling when you've felt his fingers graze upon the lines of your ear; seeming to be bawdy and suggestive from the sudden touch and you couldn't help but wrest away from his reach. Howbeit, Tybalt's hand that was yanking on your head made it difficult to.
"Though, this harlot is less feisty than the other! I would rather much have her for tonight,"
The knight's sentence was sheared off when he was strongly pushed by the shoulder from the vampire; his fingers pulling away from outlining your lips with his fingers as he fell on his ass flat on the ground. You've been pulled by the hair to stand, making you pant harsh breaths from how painful it was feeling. Hands were trying to wrench his fingers from your head but his hold was too tight for you to tweak away.
"Ingrith wants her untouched just like the other," Tybalt droned as he pulled you close to him, seeming to be tall as Geralt. His height being an advantage over your small form as he dragged you anywhere he wanted. The knight who was pushed to the ground grunted from how he was assaulted, scowling from Tybalt's shoving as he cackled in a shady manner when he heard the latter set boundaries from their current captive.
"Ye' know ye' shouldn't fuck with a witcher's tart, Allard."
"I would! The weccan' wouldn't mind, does he?" the disgusting cavalier brought his feet to a stand, dusting the grass from his flat derriere as he looked back at Tybalt with a slight tilt of his head; the longer his gaze holds, it turns even more disgusting as he looked like he was undressing you with those dark hues of his, they were the type of stomach-churning that can make you sick in no time, "Oh, she's probably a fuckin' freak like him, lad." the latter stated as a matter of fact, smirking in between his words as he nonchalantly continued.
"---Where's the freak?"
They were making your blood boil by how you could hear they were treating him. Has it been always like this in his world? ergo, he was living a life where people see him ghostly rather than a gifted human as he was seen in your eyes. You couldn't help but sarcastically giggle from their rude speech, "He has a name and it's Geralt. Don't disrespect him like that when you're actually the real freak, Edward." pause. "---You fuckers are worse than any other human." before you can even think twice, spit drizzled on Tybalt's face when you've fumed and barked back, "---More evil than the devil himself and I pray for each and one of you to go to fucking hell,"
"The devil don't exist here, ye' foolish cunt!"
Without any delay or second thoughts, a deafening sound of a slap has rumbled; it was a saddle-sore, the strong smack lingering longer on your cheek as excruciating as it can get. He probably used a little bit of his inhumane strength because of how you've descended down the ground; the side of your head hitting as your whole body fell. Your palms flat on the terra firma, receiving bruises on the edge of your lips because of how you've nosedived in it.
"Rat---!" Jaskier shouted from the background before you've heard the gallants haul him down to kick his face hard.
The asshole squat down to where you were stumbled down, his face showing no pity from what he'd done; slapping you on the face like you deserve it from being all talk and no help, "I suppose ye' don't know where he is. Fair enough then! Let's give er' a lil' bit of a chase---" pause. "---He must try and serve his purpose to the land of Kaedwen other than being a freak of a mutant and slaughtering monsters for coins,”
You spat out the metallic taste of your blood that went inside your mouth, shifting your eyes to where he was bent. You've placed your fingers on your side, gesturing towards the princess who seemed to be shaking and panicking from inside the house, seeing silver clasped around her hands as she was contemplating how to defend you both from the gallants. She had the sword that her and Geralt uses whenever they were trying to train; the weapon which has been in your hands as well.
But, you subtly gestured for her to stand down and hide. It won't be such a nice sight if she did want to help.
"You sound like the castle's loyal pet. Hilarious."
The whole scenario was a fight or flight, and the logical part of your brain screams to cooperate with what they wanted before anything ends up more badly than it can ever get. You lifted yourself off the ground, sitting on the floor while you give Tybalt the death glare as he grinned because he knew the action he did was a trigger for you to comply.
"Where's the other girl?" he chuckled, watching your fists tightened to your sides when you were on your feet. A bloody, deep gash on your cheek when some stone has scratched it and also from Tybalt's whack.
"Don't even think about it, you asshole." you immediately hissed when you knew he was talking about Cirilla. The latter also stood on his feet, tall and confident that his plans were going on the right path today.
"What? She yer' daughter? aren't ye' a child?"
"I'm no child, you fucker! Stop dissing my height like this!---and yes. My daughter. She's my daughter, so don't even think about it!"
Surprisingly, there was no tears seen in your face. They didn't deserve your tears. These people needed to rot in hell, you mindlessly thought to yourself and irritatingly bit on the insides of your cheeks which slightly drew blood from how angered you were. Peering up at the man who was giving you an obvious snicker because he could read that you were succumbing from how they've caught you in hindsight and in a weak position.
The lion cub of Cintra stood behind the doorway, crying her eyes out from how impotent she was because of how everyone wanted her to stay back. Cirilla knows she could help but people who surrounded her wanted not to use her powers as she has yet to learn and control. Hence, she couldn't do anything but watch another person in her life be in a snare or better yet, drown to die in this person's own blood.
So far, hearing those words hurt her heart because she couldn't do anything when you were unconditionally risking your life for her not to be involved because that's what it's supposed to be.
To you, she was being treated more than she can ever expect; the title of a daughter that she didn't knew she missed to need, a mother despite of being not connected through bloodline. But, a woman who would care for her well-being just like how her grandparents did loved her.
Consider herself lucky even though how unfortunate her life began. She received a father and a mother that will risk everything just for her to be safe and she knew she was crying right now because she cared for you; she was concerned like how a daughter would.
Your jaw tightened because you wanted to bash their skulls over and over again until they were dead. They probably was from how you've intellectually murdered them inside your mind since the moment they arrived. You irately peered up at Tybalt, your forehead tightly creased, mouth in a tight frown as you gave him a death stare.
"You want Geralt of Rivia right? then, take me. He'll come after if you take me, just don't kill Jaskier and my daughter."
Jaskier hurriedly shook his head and audibly muttered out his negations to himself from what you had in mind. You were surrendering yourself to them. The bard promised to the witcher not leave your side as much as he would do, but his family was prevailed over the count of cavaliers who came; thinking Geralt was probably there to fight with. But, no. The opposed held a number and Jaskier wasn't mutated nor skilled to know any form of magic for defense.
He knew today will be a loss and after hearing your next words, the humble toubadour knew that you've risked your life again for the betterment of their kingdom and theirs.
"Tell Geralt I seriously need some saving---and I promise this will be the last time I'm needing him again," you forced a smile, looking at the bard with your vermillion all drenched in claret red liquid while trying to send off the meaning that you would be okay while you were away with them.
Nevertheless, he never heard the fast, anxious beating of your heart for what will welcome you to wherever they decide to put you in.
Rough hands shoved you forward, making you look away from Jaskier as you began to take grudging steps to where Tybalt's horse awaits, the image of your smile falling was the last that Jaskier can remember before you left, "---Also, tell him I have a very important secret to say so he better hurry up!"

Scattered skeletons were buried beneath the dank ground of the gloomy swamps. Nightfall has taken its course when Geralt arrived; surprising to say that he arrived earlier than he expected to. Some trees were dead while the others have been cut-off by their limbs from inexplainable reasons. From monsters who probably lived in the area and based on how the moon aligned, it was already midnight; close to morning.
The witcher was wounded. Abnormally drained and in fatigue from using his little spells to slaughter the Bloedzuiger; his arm, back and torso currently in pain due to its acidic blood that splattered him, slightly ruining the body of his armor and the under shirt he wore.
Geralt has used Aard and Igni to fight off the beast and his energy spiked low to the point that he could sleep standing on the ground. But, the idea of his family alone made him push the plan aside because his family was more important than his life.
The latter even took a faster route to arrive and slaughter the beast earlier than his estimated days.
He was just beyond drained and parched tonight.
Long, begrudging sighs left his lips. His hair was sticking all over, eyes still black from the potion he drank, clothes all wet from being shoved under the water and a face too grubby that also held burnt patches that will surely heal in no time. Though, some will probably earn him a scar or two. He was stalking towards his horse, his silver sword that was used for monsters on one hand when the witcher has heard a tiny step of footing that broke a twig, making him slightly turn his head to the quiet noise he heard.
Tumblr media
This intruder took more cautious steps closer and he wanted to curse out loud for all the interruptions that made his life more complicated than it already is.
Human. Geralt knew it was human. This person even had a scent to it. She was a woman who had a strong floral fragrance; rose and earthy.
"You shouldn't be here," he lackadaisically declared to no one in particular as he sighed for the hundredth time this day. Heedful of the woman hiding behind a dead tree as he strolled to where Roach waited, ignoring her as he strolled.
Thus, the woman was strong enough to acknowledge a witcher in his full form as she decided to walk towards him, talking in pure fascination to have seen one in the flesh.
"A Witcher. I've heard tales of your kind. Though, I’ve heard new wicked bavardage from town that this particular beast has slayed my own kind for the sake of saving one. Wouldn’t it be wiser to choose the lesser evil or the greater good?" she scoffed before continuing, “---aren’t you quite miserly to have done such thing by killing less or maybe more than a dozen and salvaging yours?”
Geralt dropped the loot that he has ransacked from the monster, dropping them inside his leather bag with a scowl. This woman's tone of voice perking his ears that made him cease his packing.
Tumblr media
"You were never just a mere epic," she sarcastically laughed in spite. The timbre of her voice thoroughly distinctive and familiar for Geralt to be incorrect. He gave her a sharp side-eye, his eyes jet black when his mind went in befuddlement after recognizing a face that he managed to memorize since the moment that this certain woman came in his life.
"You're the witcher they're finding. The butcher! You were the reason I was taken! Feckin' Geralt of Rivia, aye!"
She was you.
A face that always keeps his mind going in haywires. Features that can be considered as a strong weakness for the witcher because of how he'd easily let his guard down with just a glimpse of a face that could ruin his resistance over having another woman be prone of peril in his dangerous, hindering life.
Even only hours of being away from you; half a day to be precised. With just by seeing her face tempted him to reach out for what he longed for; to touch the face of the woman who'd felt deep sensations for him---accepting of what he actually was with no judgement in her mind. The ache and worry in his chest was not helping how he yearned to never leave you alone in the first place.
He couldn't help but take a step close to the woman who also had the same height as you. His obsidian eyes staring straight into her soul like he'd seen the devil and he was happy to worship; jaw tight as his lips came with a lour.
Geralt looked utterly monstrous for a person who wasn't used to seeing his kind.
"Midget?"
The woman instinctively took a step back despite of how she was running her mouth a while ago; fear shutting her confidence that she could confront him for bothering a life she also dreaded to live in. Her eyes filled with horror and disgust in which Geralt clearly has seen without the use of his doubled up heightened senses.
She was not his tiny mortal. This woman in front of him was beyond different. The real you wouldn't look at him in sheer revulsion; no profound emotion in those eyes that he was used to seeing.
She had her brows in a tight twist, sending him a nasty glare that got him humming out in distaste from an attitude he wasn't use to seeing with a face like yours, "I'm not a fucking midget! What a shitty name you've got me! Doesn't sound too nice to hear too! Ya' fuckin' brought me ill-fate!"
Geralt was quick to turn around his heel. Brooding once again from the bafflement that got him thinking again. Why did you have a person who looked exactly like you in their world?
"You're not her." he stated as a matter of fact, sounding confident with his assumptions because the witcher knows he is right. Geralt walked over to his horse, huffing out a breath off his nose from sheer displeasure as he heard the woman jogging to where he wanted to go.
"Apparently not. You're mistaking me with another unfortunate little lady then!"
"Who are you?" Geralt didn't bother to give her a glance no matter how he wanted to relieve the longingness to see your face; to know that you were safe in their home with Jaskier and Cirilla, hoping that everybody was protected and safe from anyone.
But, this woman with him was not you. He needed to remember that.
She tightly crossed her arms on her chest, eyeing the brooding man as sharply as the woman could with her maroon colored cloak strapped around her shoulders, the hood off when she'd arrived to have seen him, "The name's Savia, witcher."
"Why are you here?" he timidly grumbled, his silver sword in a scabbard after the fight. Roach neighed aloud, huffing out a breath when Savia was an arm close to her, acting like she didn't like her.
Geralt couldn't help but raise a brow from his horse's sudden actions, bringing up a hand to shush her with his fingers brushing along her mane.
Savia can't help but take a cautious step back at that; his horse's reaction making her feel unwelcome and unwanted by the pair. Though, her blabber mouth couldn't help but run on and on, being all chatty when she was in the verge of being chased down by gallants. Savia knew she could outrun them like she wasn't even being pursued from the start because she has been doing this for years; stealing lots of valuable things then never being found after as she can always escape from the brutal hands of lords, inn keepers, and a whole lotta' more.
"I've escaped! Stolen goods from the castle? Their riches? Serves them right for keeping me in prison! Oh! I could steal yer' coins too, if you want. But, now I shan't retrieve them after telling all my plans! I'm no fool! I'm a skilled thief. Sounds professional, isn't it?"
She couldn't help but giggle, utterly blowing with the wind from the occupation she had; confident regardless of how unseemly her job was to live. Though, Geralt didn't give any negative reactions because he was the last person to judge someone who had an indecent job just to live in their world.
He kills and hunts monsters for a living. It doesn't sound too appealing for a normal human, correct? Hence, he wasn't in the position to criticize a thief especially when this poacher looks entirely like you.
"---I've killed some knights out there just to escape, ye' know? Maybe a bunch! Ye’ can still count em with your fingers!" the witcher ceased ferreting around in his bag when he'd finally given her his attention. The color of his eyes subsiding and turning back to its normal hue. Gold in the middle of the night like star light illuminating her gloom and it made Savia stare at him in awe because of how he typically looked like without the potion and all.
Well, hearing the gossips about him from the women in the brothels and men who shared their wicked tales were really true because the witcher who stood before her right now was a complete knockout who had a terrifying shadow he left behind.
Savia couldn't help but pout her lips inquisitively, catching sight of his amber heavily examining her face with a gist of feeling that she couldn't recognize because of how she has never receive nor experienced the look of love. But, the woman was sure he was only blinded by the fact that the face she had held whatever he holds dear; a person he had in mind that he swore to protect, desire and care for.
Savia has never seen a witcher look considerate and warmhearted. The opposite of what people claimed his kind to be. He was the butcher of Blaviken. Perhaps, she have been a witness of his character changing with one simple cast of a face he claimed to be important.
She knew that midget was too significant to him when his face turned back to normal, stretched in a way that has him looking anxious, bothered and utterly worried from the words he heard.
"I'm wondering how I've been involved by a witcher I never seen or met. They were weird! Got me bruises because I never knew where you were and I couldn't tell where ye' live!" pause. Savia's lips emitted an awkward scoff, "---Those fucking gallants did a number on me for days that I have been imprisoned. They were thinking you would go and save me---oh, shiver me timbers! No obsidian--golden eyed witcher would save me from my demise!"
Geralt torpidly blinked back at her, his forehead tightly creasing; trying to deliberate what was happening. His thoughts immediately skipping to bad ideas and outcomes because of the fact that you had someone looking like yourself.
"They were shitty and off one's rocker! Especially that sorceress because she wanted to cast me under her spell, trying to get me examined because I didn't belong to their world---wondering if I had some sort of magic in me for her to possess. She was batshite crazy!"
He couldn't help but irritatingly shut his eyes, mutely giving himself a talk while he kept his mouth shut; not risking to be heard nor is this woman close enough for her to know what's inside his thoughts. Geralt chose to stay silent, breathing down long heavy inhales and exhales from the drawbacks that suddenly occurred.
Here was destiny starting again.
Savia loudly huffed before him, raising a cocky brow when she hadn't heard that deep, gravelly voice that sounded unfamiliar from the ones she has always been hearing, "Are witcha's always this silent? I've been doing all the talking! It's like you're a mute!"
The Witcher heard footfalls coming from a distance. Two gallants. It was only a pair for now and if the woman didn't took her flight before the entire horsemen arrives, she would be taken again and be behind bars in the fortress of Kaedwen.
Would he save the thief who made everything more complicated by looking exactly like you? Creating a mishap by stealing jewelry from the queen?
Everything he thought about would result in an intense migraine because Geralt know you'll be accused of a crime that was never done by his midget. Therefore, taking you in for captive would end up being like hitting two birds in one stone; they get to have him running off to where the castle is and also have the accused thief who didn't need no convincing because of how Savia showed up in their lives; ruining yours.
"Fuck. Why did you need to show up now and complicate things---even had to fucking steal ornaments from the queen with a face who is utmost valuable to me."
The frustrated question was sent to Savia who stepped back from the latter; his teeth suddenly barred and feral, sharply staring down at her. Totally irritated by what she'd done. Geralt heard metal being dragged out of its scabbard and it took him one turn of his head to be welcomed by two knights who was ready to pounce on him by seeing what he was.
One of his monikers slipped out of their tongues with such disgust and a hitch of their breath. There was no use for killing cavaliers tonight because this woman hardly have been involved in his life, yet he would still save because of having a weakness that seemed unfair for her to have.
Geralt raised his hand towards the taller knight who opened its mouth to shout at his fellow horsemen who held their torches from a far distance when suddenly a string of glowing, white line shot through his head; casting Axii for the men to take despite of how the witcher was feeling low with his energy that has been used prior to hours before they arrived.
It was a simple magical sign where it compromises hypnotic effect; it can be used to calm down people or animals, manipulate their minds or be used to hex enemies. A triangular white symbol surrounded the string of line which paved its way towards their heads; passing through both as they were momentarily stunned, acting as if they were puppets and Geralt had the strings.
Thus, after a while; Savia was astonished to see both armored men attacking each other like they were in a battleground and they were both forgotten.
Yet, it wouldn't last long.
"Witcher! What did you feckin’ do?!" she squeaked, heart beat racing from the adrenaline rush.
Geralt had not taken a second before jumping on his horse, gripping onto her reigns and pulling to turn her around, quickly nudging her to gallop towards the path back to where he could go home.
He needed to come back home. The heavy and worried feeling inside his chest wasn't just the result of overthinking. Geralt knows that there was something happening now and it wasn't good. He needed to know if you were safe, all in complete set of limbs when he sees you, if ever he could even get to again because the dreaded feeling was rising higher in such a toxic amount that would make him blame himself when you're gone.
Geralt couldn't even think straight for even contemplating about the idea that you were gone and out of his reach.
"Leave before they actually kill you. It can only last for seconds due to the energy left in me,"
He'd run off before Savia can even acknowledge his kindness. The Butcher of Blaviken has helped her escape. He wasn't a murderer nor did he hurt her.
"Geralt of Rivia, right?!" she yelled out to no one in particular after watching Geralt leave with his horse. The simple yell has caught the attention of more gallants, seeing the flames of their torches walking their way through the forest and through the swamps that got her zipping her mouth shut. Those two hypnotized gallants falling on the swamps behind her from beating each other to death.
Savia couldn't help but hum in interest, whisper-yelling her next words as if the witcher can hear her amongst his troubled heart.
"---Thank you for letting me escape! you're helpful after all!"

🍒 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for a phone call which has not been released in English servers!🍒
More Qixi Calls: Gavin / Lucien / Shaw / Victor
Kiro: Hello hello, Miss Chips, are you there? 
MC: Yes I am. What are you doing? 
Kiro: It’s rare to catch a break, so I’m at home playing games with the air-conditioning turned on of course!
MC: Eh, as someone who’s still at work, I’m sending you ten thousand points of hatred...
Kiro: Heheh, I’ve received your resentment. I’ll bring your resentment along with me to play games. Eh, I saw your Moments just now - you’ve been addicted to blind boxes recently? 
MC: Yes! There’s something addictive about unknown possibilities. Do you understand such feelings? 
Kiro: I know I know! Last time, in order to get the limited edition toys from the fast food restaurant set meal, I also ate it many times. Of course, hamburgers, fries, chicken wings and cola were also important reasons!
MC: Are you saying that you don’t still have fast food because of the limited edition toys?
Kiro: Shh-- you have to see this a secret in front of Savin!
MC: If I help you keep it a secret, do you have any way of thanking me? 
Kiro: Eh... I’ve decided - I’ll let you draw from a Qixi-limited Kiro blind box!
MC: Qixi-limited blind box? Is it a new version which has yet to be released? 
Kiro: Of course not! Right now, there are two gachas in my hands - Number One and Number Two. Each one contains different rewards. Please select one. 
MC: Number One.
Kiro: Number One represents “wholeheartedness”. Deng deng deng deng~ Congratulations to Miss Chips for winning the Qixi-limited program - watching a night movie with me!
MC: Is that the open-air cinema you mentioned before? 
Kiro: That’s right! We can watch a movie with all the stars in the sky. Isn’t it very romantic? 
MC: Mm! But I’m a little curious - what’s in the other gacha? 
Kiro: The other is to enjoy a big feast at the highest point of the city. I had to put in a lot of effort in order to make a reservation.
MC: Oo... it sounds very tempting. 
Kiro: All right all right! Since Miss Chips is so adorable... and it’s Qixi, so I’ll cheat and let you win these two limited rewards!
MC: Is this what the legends call “double happiness”? 
Kiro: Of course! If double happiness isn’t enough, triple happiness works too!
MC: Where does the triple happiness come from? 
Kiro: Wouldn’t it be triple if you add me? There will be even more times of happiness! Because I want to give you all the happiness I can think of!
