#letho x regis

[eskel-loves-lilbleater]

Geralt/Triss or Eskel/Triss?

If I have to chose between those two and ONLY those two, then I definitely go with Eskel/Triss. I feel like Triss & Geralt's relationship, both from the books and the games, has SO many issues that it's rather toxic. I don't hate it, I just think they can do better.

That being said, my actual preferred pairings?

Yennefer/Triss:

Completely fan-based, I know, but I feel they meet on a more even level, have comparable life experience, understandings etc. I think they are better for each other and make each other better, than most of the alternatives.

Geralt/Jaskier:

I mean, it's really Geralt and ANYBODY else BUT Triss or Yen but I understand why him and Jaskier are such a popular pair. Again, they make each other better, for the most part.

I also like Geralt/Eskel and Geralt/Regis however, if I had to pick faves?

Eskel/Regis:

Bloody absolute rare-pair and I don't get it. Lots of people adore Geralt & Regis together (which I get) but I think Eskel would be an even better match. The love of books and philosophy, animals and simple pleasures. And we KNOW Eskel would not have the slightest issue with Regis' species affiliation. Big, brawny Eskel would LOVE someone who can take and give back like a Higher Vampire. Feral Eskel getting all protective and Regis finding it adorable because he REALLY doesn't need it. They would be so sweet together.

Lambert/?:

But what about the youngest, surliest wolf? I mean, any combo of Lambert/Aiden/Voltehre/Milena, I just eat that shit right up. Absolute GIVE ME MORE and I will be happy. (Big thank you to @inexplicifics for creating so much of this and inventing Milena. Big happy spot in my heart!!)

Or Lambert/Eskel lol

Other fave pairings:

Letho/Gaetan

Vesemir/Guxart

Ivar/Keldar

And why is there so very little love for Arnaghad? I need giant bear love!

[chthoniclown]

I drew Romantic Sitcom 🤡 starring Regis, Dettlaff, Letho, Geralt, Ciri, Lambert and Eskel. also I ship Letho x Regis and I'm obviously a clown. that's basics.

Happy New Year🦇

[omaano]

5 times Geralt got picked up and carried around, and 1 time he did the carrying :)

This was originally a prompt fill for the 5+1 trope (that is really difficult from an artistic point of view, let me tell you) for the Rareship Summer Bingo (@witcher-rarepair-summer-bingo) but, well... I haven't given up on most of my prompts, it just took me quite a while to complete it. Anyway, I'm realy happy with the result, might clean up and even line some next year :D

💗 Hi, I’m Rita and if you like fluff, you’ve come to the right place 💗

Geraskier romcoms are my jam, but I write lots of pairings, and have dabbled in the canon universe too. It’s all meet-cutes, mutual pining, and fluffy tropes. Plus, let’s be honest, a healthy dose of smut. I hope you’ll take a look and see what you like 😘

☕ Jitters series - Coffeeshop AU, 5 parts, 25k, mostly T (one M)

🖼️ The Art of Theft - Movie star AU, 14k, T

⚔️ I Want the Best For You series - Canonverse, 6 parts, 55k, dom/sub, poly, very E (Here’s my master post for this series with some killer art by @yuko27)

☀️ Best Summer Ever - Camp counsellor AU, 3.9k, E, one of my faves (with more stunning art from @linx1457)

🎵 ‘a due’; together - Teacher AU, 10k, T (now with art from @swampcastle)

❄️ Snowstorm - Restaurant AU, fake relationship, 9k, T (with more beautiful art by @yuko27, plus an E part 2)

❤️ The Colour of Desire - my Lambskel flagship, omg they were roommates, 18k, E (sweetest art by @artemisiatodd, part of the Snowstorm universe)

🐉 Hold You In My Smile - Lambert/Aiden canonverse enemies-to-lovers, amnesia, 6.9k, M (inspired by art that is linked in the fic)

I have 40+ works so I can’t list them all here (I mean, Letho/Eskel MMA, Geralt/Regis sweet dorks, Lambert/Aiden fake prostitute, Regis/Tissaia hurt/comfort...), and it’s all meant to make you feel warm and fuzzy. 

Thank you to my beta and bestie @oxbridge-quality-fanfiction-co who is an amazing writer and I cannot live without her. 

Interactions are the very air I breathe and are so motivating. Thanks so much for reblogs, comments on fics, or just saying hi! 😘💕

[pinkatron]

The witchers say good bye to one another as they begin their journeys in separate groups.

Geralt nodded and turned to mount Roach. Regis nodded to Emhyr, who was icily staring at the portal gate. Seems there were problems in paradise, beyond what Geralt had discovered today. However, he had to let them deal with it. His usual instinct was to intervene, but he couldn’t help them if they didn’t figure it out on their own. Emhyr finally glanced to Geralt and he saw sadness in his eyes.

“Keep us updated, on everything.” Geralt said suddenly and Emhyr’s eyes widened. “Not the state secret shit, but the important things. I want to know how you are doing, truly. And I look forward to seeing you again Emhyr.”

“Likewise, Geralt.” He said awkwardly. “Do not be a stranger.”

Descarada’s Extremely Specific Witcher Fic Recs Part I: Extra Rare Rarepairs

This is from a ficrec series. Here is the masterpost, with all disclaimers, and a list of upcoming rec posts.

PLEASE TREAT THESE AS A MERE STARTING POINT AND SHARE YOURS/YOUR FAVES IN REBLOGS/REPLIES.

PLEASE CHECK THE TAGS. YOUR TRIGGERS AND PREFERENCES ARE DIFFERENT THAN MINE.

Here are the five extra rare rarepair ships that I chose to highlight. Most of these only have literally 1 or 2 fics on AO3 AS THE MAIN PAIRING of the fic as of posting time, though I set the limit at 60 fics on AO3 to qualify for this list. (next I am doing a rec list for pairings with 60-1000 fics on AO3)

Please scroll down for the ficrecs for:

Yennefer x Fringilla

Eskel x Letho

Yennefer x Renfri

Vesemir x Regis

Dandelion x Zoltan Chivay

1. YENNEFER X FRINGILLA

 hold the mirror up (to show me what I chose). 2339 words. Mature. By @limerental

Why I love this pairing:

The Emotional Drama. Young women who could have been friends or allies, being pitted against each other by powerful forces and becoming enemies. A childhood friends => enemies is delicious.

The Complexity. Powerful sorceresses, fighting on different sides of a battle, but with more in common with each other, than perhaps with the people they serve.

The Conflict. Fringilla’s motivations are portrayed very differently in the books vs the show. But she has always made different choices than Yennefer. Both respect and desire power. But they draw different lines in the sand as far as right vs wrong and how to make the world a better place.

How much of their conflict is driven by outside forces? What could they be without kings and men making war?

Why I love this fic:

It is beautifully written, dreamy, and weaves in the most compelling aspects of this ship.  

It has insights as well as emotional resonance.

It is set at Sodden Hill, a place and a battle that seriously captured my imagination.

2. ESKEL X LETHO

On Murderers and Soulmates. 3030 words. Explicit. By @nitrogen-and-crisis

AND

A Viper’s Wolf. 13,111 words. Explicit. By @rawrkinjd 

( wasn’t going to put poly recs in this list since I’m doing a separate poly rec list but I’m a rebel and I’m breaking my own rule because this fic just nails that Letho x Eskel vibe I love.) 

Why I love this ship. I haven’t played the games (just TWN and books). I was drawn into this by my love of Eskel and just fell for it: 

Humans fear Eskel the most, due to his “monstrous” (according to Mr. Sapko, not me) appearance, however he is actually the most dependable, professional, and reliable witcher. And as every ‘responsible’ child knows, dependable comes with expectations. But with Letho, Eskel is able to enjoy freedom from those expectations with a more...er...morally flexible witcher. We know Eskel does recreational drugs. We know he’s been with a succubus. So he has that wilder side to him. Maybe he can let that loose with Letho.

Eskel is a deeply kind person. How anyone can go through so much trauma and be reacted to with such revulsion, and still be kind is a miracle. So I can see him hearing about Letho’s crimes and understanding that shit is more complicated than people let on, and without his wolf brothers, that could be him. I love him coaxing Letho out of his self loathing or his isolation from other witchers.

Two large, scarred men, who strike fear in the hearts of others just by walking into a room, finding pleasure, beauty, or softness in each other.  Perfect.

On the server I am in, people call the ship Noodlepup, and lets face it, that’s fucking adorable. Noodle (viper) Pup (school of wolf)

Why I love A Viper’s Wolf:

Please, to experience a fic depicting Eskel letting go of control and being taken apart, is an emotional catharsis. 

It is absolutely vividly written and makes you feel the physical and emotional sensations on a gut level.

Rawr writes the voices of all the witchers beautifully and it feels genuine.

Why I love On Murderers and Soulmates:

Letho has entirely internalized this idea of himself as less than human. As a killer. When he finds out Eskel is his soulmate, he tries to reject him, because he is entirely self loathing.

There is a core of emotion here that is sincerely touching. 

I just get that sweet sweet charge out of someone who feels like a monster, being shown that they are not beyond hope or humanity.

More great Letho x Eskel Noodlepup fics that I absolutely loved: 

Canon setting Soft Dom Eskel deliciousness: Just a Little Something Fun by Galactic_Roses on AO3 and Venomous Needs by @bawdybean

Modern AU Eskel x Letho : Like a Grizzly Tears Bark off a Tree by @jinxedambitions and Catch My Breath by @lovelyrita1967​

3. YENNEFER X RENFRI

Love Songs for Motherless Girls. 5189 words. Mature. By @greyduckgreygoose​

Why I love this ship:

They are both magical women who have both suffered violent misogynistic abuse and face a world that refuses to grant them any actual autonomy. But their reactions to it diverge wildly. 

Yennefer survives by accruing power inside that patriarchal power structure---by playing the game. She suppresses her damage and every ‘weak’ emotion. She becomes the system. (until Ciri ofc, but I’m picturing this pre-Ciri)

Renfri has little interest in survival. She wants revenge. Fuck the system. She racks up those heads on pikes. She shoves her damage in your face and makes you deal with her emotions.

Yennefer is ice and Renfri is fire. Yennefer is control. Renfri is chaos.

But they secretly want parts of what the other has. Yennefer secretly craves revenge and wildness. (Got that from the books) and Renfri is not so secretly wistful for when she had power and privilege.

The ways they would challenge and resent each other while coveting what the other has...and the potential for that to deepen to something beautiful and raw...Look. This dynamic, this potential for an absolute five alarm fire is immaculate. 

Why I love this fic:

The prose is just *clenches fist* so fucking good. Please, I want this talent. 

Both Yen and Renfri just jump off the page. Their dynamic, their dialogue is pitch perfect. 

My god, just read it. So fucking underrated.

There is a playlist.

There is gorgeous art.

4. VESEMIR X REGIS

Lover, Hunter, Friend and Enemy. 2072 words. Teen and up. By @wrenbug​

Why I love this ship:​

If you don’t know Regis, he is an elegant, genteel, vampire/barber surgeon who chugs his respect women juice and likes to lecture his friends on sex positivity. Geralt adores him. (Geralt and I have that in common.)

So both Regis and Vesemir are these old, well traveled, sages, who can turn deadly at the drop of a hat.

Their vibe is extremely different though. Vesemir had an incredibly traumatic childhood and has spent his life being a an underappreciated work horse, busting his ass to rid the continent of monsters.

Regis has had this misspent youth, drunk on blood.

Regis has an extremely intriguing sexual side, as he successfully, canonically, kept a succubus satisfied so that she wouldn’t feed on the men of Toussaint. I also just know that Vesemir has his sexy side too, though we haven’t seen it in canon. *iwouldliketoseeit.gif

Monster x Witcher is MY SHIT.

Why I love this fic:

A flirtatious vampire rolls drunkenly into the camp of a young witcher named Vesemir.  

What starts out as a sword to the throat quickly careens out of control in a sexy way.

I don’t know about you but I love that shit.

This fic gives a lil snapshot of Regis’s ‘drunk on blood’ era and I appreciate that.

5. DANDELION X ZOLTAN CHIVAY

That’s What Friends Are For. 1140 words, though it is part of a three part series and I recommend it all. Explicit. By @dat-carovieh​

Why I love this ship.

If you don’t know Zoltan Chivay, he is a dwarf and one of Geralt and Dandelion’s best friends. They travel together through a war hellscape in Baptism of Fire.

Zoltan is rough around the edges, tells it exactly like it is, and is hilarious. He’s also kind and he rescues a shitload of widowed women and feral children from certain death in the war.

The dynamic Dandelion and Zoltan share in the books is so fucking cute. Dandelion is wide eyed and adoring.

He follows Zoltan around chattering and listening to all his stories and Zoltan even gives him a knife. That doesn’t end well but it’s ok.

They sleep snuggled together after a night of drinking. It is adorable.

Why I love this fic.

This fic is set in the video game universe, but the characters still feel like the ones I know from the books.

Zoltan is plain speaking and Dandelion is sprung.

You can feel their friendship as they build a genuine relationship.

It is damn cute, just like they are.

So, that was a few of the extra rare rarepairs and fics that have caught the attention of this humble multishipper. Please, like I say, treat this as only the beginning. I know sometimes people don’t like rec threads because people feel left out. I am a writer too and ofc I know that feeling. But I think it’s still worth it to do! What else are we going to do? Never hype each other? 

So help me add to it and rb with your fic, or your fave if I missed it.

You of course, may disagree with my interpretations of the characters or not vibe with why I like the ships. You can always tag me in your own post and I’ll read your take and rb it.

Letho x Regis sketch dump by Michelsminne

[chthoniclown]

costume design abuses me but I love him 🤡 4 seasons with Letho of Gulet and bookverse Emiel Regis.

[witcherscreenshotsdump]

Ano~ *twiddles fingers* Will your smouldering Olgierd be on the list of stocking goodies this X-mas? Thank you for all your wonderful work! ❤️❤️❤️

😂😂 i'm guessing you mean the DofT version of Olgierd ? ( i believe that the only mod i have for him 😅 ) i already have the body, it just need a small rework of texures and a neckseam fix

i'll see if I can finish him and Regis soon, since Letho requires way more work ^^

thank YOU for the kind words and support <3

[chthoniclown]

(a slightly happier) Regis & Letho (who suck at flirting, but that's alright). because I can use this style for whatever stupid doodle I want.

pretty sure that "agglutinated ass" is a russian only idiom (we say it here when someone had a huge dose of sugar) but I didn't want to search for civilized analogues because of the gross taste of slavic culture

[chthoniclown]

me (and probably Regis): forgive me, my ear for music doesn't allow me to listen to such melodies.

also me (and probably Regis): ONE CRINGY RUSSIAN ELECTROPUNK SONG FOR 2 DAYS STRAIGHT YAAAH BRING IT MOTHERFUCK--

______

[ translation ]

Regis: DREAM IS NO MOOORE, WE WAAASTED IT SO TALENTLESSLY // LETS WHACK OUR LOOOVE, BURY STRADIVARI'S VIOLIN

Letho: whatcha lookin' at? I'm not banging him for his musical gift.

______

what else can I say? watch your grandpas at the club.

(oh, and the mighty song is "Замочим любовь" by She Za)

[chthoniclown]

another chopped Letho x Regis pic. for full: twitter -> chthoniclown.

I posted it already, but my partner gave me a veeery fair critique on the situation and the tattoos (one can't be resurrected with funny pics on huh I'm dumb), but I still like this piece apart from logical errors, so!

TL;DR - cleaned it up and posting again 🦇

[chthoniclown]

You hit me once I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed
