Hey @debellatis @moonlightcrazyphoenix

I uh- I posted the first chapter of the Lambert time travel fic?

Falling out of the Sky

It's been three days.

The cell he's been put in is cold and dark, but mercifully dry. In this part of the dungeon neither sounds nor sunlight can reach you. A small mage orb is his only light source. He's been counting his own heartbeats to keep track of time, the very same way he's been taught when he was just a lad.

The wobbly cot in the corner of the small room remains unused as he kneels in front of the cell door. Eyes closed, hands on his thighs, palms up. Three other cells lined up next to his own, but all remain empty. There's no other prisoners but him. Nothing but his own heartbeat to keep him company. But it's alright, he's gotten used to solitude a long time ago.

The sound of footsteps disturbs Lambert's deep meditation. Moments later the bulky door that connects the dungeon with the winding staircase to the upper levels is unlocked and pushed open.

He counts three pairs of armored boots, walking heavy and purposefully towards him, before his ears pick up on the three matching heartbeats. Slow like his own, there's no doubt they belong to witchers like him.

During the commotion of his arrival he hasn't had time to realize just how many years have passed since he's last heard a heartbeat that matches his own. Lambert opens his eyes.

The homesickness is overwhelming at times.

What the fuck did I just write? That was not supposed to be part of the story?!

Hi Hope you're doing ok and having fun! Never even knew Coral Island existed but it looks like a dream farming game??? 😳 I wanted to ask, is there any news on the Lambert time-travel AU front? 🥺👉👈

Coral Island is really fun so far - BUT only consider buying it on PC, there's a bit of a problem with the company, so there won't be any updates/bug fixes for any other consoles atm - I love Stardew Valley, but CI just feels so much more lived in! The characters are amazing and I am still not over the fact that they make sense (they have jobs, go to work, there's a school for the kids, some leave for a season, etc. they don't just stand around all day with the same 5 lines of dialog)

As for the Lambert tt fic

he is aboooooooout to meet baby Geralt and Eskel (he doesn't know it yet) but I am taking a small break rn, so I can come back and edit things. So far it's a lot of world building that will be important for later, but I feel like I need to add more feels.

Lambert is still a bit ooc atm, because he is older in this fic and has mellowed out (he's also very op but that will also make more sense later) which is maybe the reason why I am struggling with adding feels? He's still trying to find his place in KM (he's never experienced it this full) so he doesn't really act like himself just yet.

There's probably going to be three or four more big scenes before the first act is done. But I am not going to post anything yet, because I am a sloooow writer. (painfully aware of my tendencies to not finish long fics) So let me feed you random sentences, to keep you hooked ❤👀

Gardening is perhaps the most euphemistic euphemism for grave robbing that Lambert has ever encountered.

What crazy fucker goes around blowing up the forest?

Besides, he's meeting with the council of the Wolf school today, an extra dagger wouldn't do any harm.

Even in the end, when Lambert was the only one left of his cohort and was standing alone in the courtyard with a brand new medallion around his neck, he never thought twice about it.

Yeah right now I think it will probably be 25k words.

Genuine question: Is this funny?

Trying to catch the other man off guard, Lambert asks as casually as he can, “I don't suppose, you're coincidentally in possession of a fully intact humanoid skull, are you?”

For someone who is definitely not supposed to have any skulls at all, Dorian suddenly grows awfully quiet. Lambert inhales a long, deep breath, like a man that has seen enough to not be surprised by these things anymore. It was meant to be a joke, nothing more and now Lambert has to deal with the fact that the mage that flirted with him mere minutes ago is now awkwardly avoiding his eyes. “It's, uh- It's for the witch circle, I suspect?”

“Yes. You can have it back afterwards.”

“Right, yes, I, uh- What size do you need?”

“Oh fuck me, seriously?!”

“It's an important question!”

I'm 7k words into my Lambert time traveling fic and that dude hasn't even met baby Geralt and Eskel yet.

To summon Ciri for help, Lambert needs to collects six artifacts. Five of them are rather personal. One is solely chosen for power.

A lock of hair from a well-loved horse.

Three fireflies in a round glass jar.

A sword that slayed a monster whilst decorated with a red ribbon.

A regenerative potion brewed by an uncle.

Two sticks that were played with like swords.

A human skull.

(also I've reached 10k)

“Lambert,” Rennes addresses him directly. The grip on his shoulder loosens “I ask you now, standing in front of you as the Grandmaster of your school and home. Have you lied to us at any point of this conversation?”

“I have not.” He just hadn't told them everything.

“Do you pose a threat to us, our brethren, our keepers, or the children in this fortress?”

“I do not.” Not until he's given a reason to be a threat.

“For the purpose of keeping the peace, will you take on the role of a mentor and train the children, so we can grant you full access to their part of Kaer Morhen?”

Fuck.

“I will,” Lambert says, knowing full well that his decision will have major consequences.

@debellatis a snipped just for you because your excitment was very motivating ❤
