mine:

this rhaenicent set only because of the second gif. also somehow i managed to color this dark dark show and make it look light and dreamy?? but yeah the blending in that second gif is my all time fav

i will never forget this yennefer set. it nearly ended my computer but it was so so worth it. all the effects and experimenting...it was just so fun to play with photoshop w this one!

the film scrolling effect in this rhaenicent gif rly pushed my limits but i'm so glad i got to learn something new! and to swap styles w my bestie was SO fun..got to use a new effect and a new font!

my best misunderstood girly miss cressida cowper! first time using shipped goods font and i absolutely ADORE it sm. i also tried using the motion blur effect here and it's so cool! kinda love the blending in the third gif too...the way she moves behind her sleeve teehee

google alicent hightower! another new effect!! i was always so scared to try the google template just bc of the typing effect...but it was so worth it. also love the news panel i came up with LOL

others:

the effects in this ocean's 8 set by @alicenthighstower are just SO SO COOL!!! like i just have no words...all the animations are amazing. i could literally stare at it forever. aish you truly outdid yourself on this one..i love it!!

what if i just started screaming about this rhaenicent set by @nataliescatorccio?!?!? just screaming crying throwing up!! EVERYTHING about this is perfection. all the parallel shots and the way they're both blended together AND combined with the ripped paper effect. it's just gorgeous stunning immaculate. a set that truly encapsulates all of becca's talent!

this alicent hightower set by @padme-amidala is one of my all time favorite sets ever. the way there are so many different gifs combined and yet it doesn't look hectic at all. everything blends and works together so seamlessly. i especially LOVE the cracked glass effect bc it goes so well and matches the lyrics too. AND THE COLOR COMBO is to die for. thank you erika for this masterpiece

i adore this sejanus and katniss set by @maxanor. the blending is so so flawless and smooth. something abt black/white blending always gets me. and then the ink transition to that vibrant coloring?? gorgeous! the orange is SO vibrant and beautiful. and to top it all off...the font choice is chefs kiss perfect!

this kanthony set by @cal-kestis is so pretty!! when i first saw this set my jaw dropped. nik's creativity is mind blowing! the mosaic/crystallized transition is gorgeous and PERFECT for them and the song choice.

brb tattooing this rhaenicent set by @abigaillazaar onto my brain! michelle your blending is always so soft i can't get over it. like that 3rd and 7th gif hello???? and OBSESSED with the lyric change because it just fits so so well. you are paying for my therapy bc pairing august with them is criminal

the immaculate blending in this alicent + her kids set by @lady-arryn has me on my knees. the triple blends are executed so well. i love the perfect balance of darks and light leaks. and i am always amazed by your ability to make the colors so vibrant and yet it always look so soft. simply STUNNING

i can't believe @rosamundpkes made this beautiful rhaenicent set for me!!! i can't get over it. i LOVE the subtle soft pink/orange coloring. and the blending of the second gif has me screaming!!!!! don't even get me started on the transition of the last two shots of them..i can't. forever grateful for this set <3

this morgana pendragon set by @ughmerlin is pure perfection. the sepia coloring is just lovely and i adore the font choices. everything about this is so so well done...i could go on and on

this rhaenicent set by @gwenpendragns belongs in a museum!! the white/grey/black blending is phenomenal and i am in love with the grid effect. and something about the blending of the last gif just tickles my brain in such a satisfying way. the quote for them too is such a good choice!

no pressure tagging the people above and anyone else who wants to do this <3

[and-i-said-fewer]

HI THERE I SAW YOUR TAGS FREAKING OUT ABOUT ELBOW ON MY GERASKIER PLAYLISTS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

little fictions is the only album I know by heart cover to cover, but I certainly enjoy the others!

SERIOUSLY THOUGH

WHENEVER I SEND ANYONE AN ELBOW SONG REC IN THE CONTEXT OF A CHARACTER THEY ALWAYS SAY THEYD NEVER CONSIDERED IT BEFORE AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME HAVING A NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS MOMENT

you’ve made my day

holyyyyyy shittt im so sorry i didn’t see this before but it’s only *checks watch* well over a month late !! (sorry.) but yEA my mancunian friend introduced lil american me to elbow and theyve topped my spotify wrapped (yes even above tad) the past two years lol their stuff means a lot to me and is also So Good

but fs like. again i would Not ever insinuate that elbow is Niche or Unpopular—literally played the olympics etc etc—but i do think that they aren’t necessarily in The Minds Of Fandom™️ very much. but MAN they have such a great discography and sm good songs it’s like *makes aggressive grabby claws at the air* so much potential!!!! overlooked!! unseen!! (yes i’m being dramatic. not sorry)

anyways if anyone who sees this listens to elbow PLEASE hmu i love talking abt elbow songs

aaaaannndd uuuhhhhh 👉🏽👈🏽 hopefully not beign too pushy but uhhh. if anyone here wants some fandom related recs……. i’ll just throw out a couple so i’m not being Too Much but:

hotel istanbul [listed as a non-album track under the seldom seen kid (bonus tracks version) album on spotify] - oh my god if anyone listens to One [1] song i write here PLEASE let it be this one. every time i scroll through geraskier playlists and don’t see this song i feel Robbed. to me it feels sooooo them but no one else knows about it and i lose my mind. idk if musically it fits everyone’s vibe check but Lyrically. holy fuck holy shit. like to my understanding it’s abt a guy who’s havin a shite day but this other person’s presence makes them feel better or smthn??? anyways it’s fuckinnnn haaghhh i’m- it literally goes “damn your eyes / so blue” LIKE????? i lose my mind over this song in geraskier context every time someone Please listen to it and tell me if i’m going insane or not

puncture repair [under leaders of the free world album] - man i love this lil guy sm. diff energy from hotel istanbul but i see this one as the quieter geraskier moments, the travelling together for 20 years. it’s so quiet, it’s so routine, it’s motions that are muscle memory, it’s care etched in creases, it’s thoughts traced through nerves for the thousandth time. also works from either pov i think

bones of you [under the seldom seen kid album] - i think?? this could be a yennefer song??? either abt istredd or just like her past life. also sonically i rlly like the vibe for her, dunno if anyone else’d agree w that tho

audience with the pope [under the seldom seen kid album] - ok honestly i dont know if this one’s very accurate since i wouldnt call myself an arbiter of quality yen&geralt vibes, but i do think of them when i listen to this song so,,? do with that what u will

anyway i have oodles and oodles of these but these ones that r like, supported lyrically the best ig??? sorta?? maybe not but yea ive got elbow-witcher song thoughts for Days but the other ones are maybe more vibes-based so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but if anyone’s intrigued…… i mean hmu

𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 ❅ 𝒚𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒓

𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒚: you find yourself cuddled up next to yennefer while a fire burns next to you. 

author’s note: i haven’t written for yennefer yet but i love her sm, she make me hella gay

warnings: nakedness, pure fluff, not edited

holiday prompts m.list

You let out a content sigh as the fierce warmth from the fireplace radiates onto your skin. You smell the fresh embers; and burnt wood lift into your nose, the blanket that laid on your bottom half was oozing with the fiery smell. 

You were laying on your stomach; your cheek pressed up against your arm as though it was a soft pillow. Yennefer was laying right next to you, her arm propping her head up to get a better view of the fire glowing around your supple skin. 

The pads of her fingers trailed along with the shapes and valleys of your back, lightly skating across every imperfection that made her heart swell with pure joy. The blanket was placed gracefully upon her body, covering the sights you loved most to see.

You stared into her luminous purple-eyes, and you couldn't look away, too entranced by her beauty. Her eyes lock with yours, and you instantly swooned.

Her lips curled into a smirk, “see something you like, my love?”

You couldn’t tell whether the fire was making you feel warm to the touch or her honey silked voice reaching your ears. The crackling of the wood-burning was the only sound that was heard throughout the room, besides the covers shifting from her hand tracing your lower back. 

“Yeah, you.”

Your hips ache slightly from sitting on the hard floor for so long; the only thing that stood between you and the hardwood floor was the fancy handmade carpet.

She leaned down to give you a loving and tender kiss, and her finger came to trial the edges of your jaw. Her lips felt smooth like sand that was abraded by the ocean waves down to delicate speckles. 

“You just like me?”

You roll your eyes at her pettiness, and your lips failed you as they curled into a smile. 

“You know I love you, my darling.”

You stared at her with such intensity that her heart beat a mile a minute, her mind fogging with only thoughts of you. She never understood how you wiggled your way through the depths of her love, of her heart, but you did. You did, and she never wanted to let you go. 

“I love you, my heart’s gleam.”

She watched your eyes flutter close when she kneaded slightly into your shoulder, her palms digging into the broad surface. You let out a moan as she digs into a particularly sore area, her hands trying to soothe and prod.

She starts to trail small, feathery kisses down from your shoulder blade to the crevasse of your spine. A light smile was prominent on your face as she continued to give small kisses.

She could hardly believe you were real sometimes. You were like a dream, your beauty shown in the moonlight and the glow of the fire rested on your features.

“You never cease to amaze me, my love. You always dazzle me so.”

You could feel your heart thump against the handwoven carpet, her soft lips making their way back up to your shoulder blade. Her lips move to kiss your jaw, leaning up to your cheek, and then landing on the tip of your nose.

“My heart only beats for you, Yennefer.”

You could feel her lips curl into a smile as they rested on your cheek and her lips pouted to give you one last kiss.

“I love you too, my heart’s gleam.”

Geralt x blind!Reader. That's it. That's the plot ahah, Can be a HC ✨

ooh my first HC! here we go 😊

Geralt with a Blind S/O HC:

GeraltxBlind!Reader

By jena marie

You and Geralt met when he got you out of a bar fight that you may or may not have caused 😅

Whatever, he started it! A dude was giving you shit about your eyesight, he got too close, so you spat in his face 🤷‍♀️

Then a few months later, the universe worked, one thing led to another and he couldn’t resist you! You seemed to be perfect for him.

Expect much sneaky kisses once he gets comfortable, the little shit. He’s like, really good at stalking so much that I’m not even sure you’ll be able to hear him.

He loves how you jump in fright, before recognizing who’s lips they are and then melting into them. Then pulling away to yell at him.

Wanna tag along on a hunt? Lol no. If you ever say that to his face, he will have the most authentic laugh of his entire life because not a chance.

You are probably smaller than this 6’2 beanstalk (jk i lof u geralt), which means he will be *extremely* protective of you. You thought that he was protective because you can’t see, but honey that’s not the only reason.

You are HIS WOMAN who is smol and cute and NO ONE is allowed to touch her. Not even Jaskier or Yennefer. *feral hissing*

Borderline growling to anyone who threatens your presence, or who dares to even indirectly insult you.

Will 1000% stand up for you. He will not take shit from anyone. of course if you want to stand up for yoself then he will sit back and watch with a proud smile while you go off on any pricks who disrespect u queen 😭🙌

If they throw hands then they basically jut begged to be ripped apart. If anyone hits you or remotely puts their hands on you out of anger, ummm you’re gonna have to tell Geralt not to kill them— otherwise he will. *ahem*

He loves to just hold you and ask you what it’s like to be... you. Soft!Geralt is prevalent if his s/o happens to be blind.

He admires you more than anything, which means he loves to hear your thoughts and feelings late at night. He loves your scent and the feeling of his hands in your hair.

I feel like he has a size kink so you could be sewing up a hole in his shirt and he’ll appear behind you, pressing his back to you, probably to hug you or some shit.

Will basically treat you like a queen. If you show the slightest discomfort he’ll fix it for you because to him you deserve everything! 🌸

NSFW below

He’s hesitant to touch you sexually at first, so I feel like if you want that— you’ll have to make a first move and show his that you want it.

He will be very gentle the first time around. You will probably get two rounds, him going down on you and then u get the dick uWu

He’s very attentive and will caress you often and just hold you to him. He wants to make your guys’s first time as pleasurable as possible.

But mostly to make you scream his name ;)

He’s never been w/ a blind person, so he’s hesitant to do something that he thinks might turn you off or that will hurt you.

You will probably have to tell him to be rougher with you and reassure him if you want.

Sex with him will probably be gentle at first, but I do still feel like once he gets comfortable he will go rougher and it will be more lust-filled and fun ;)

I hope you liked itttt 💕💕💕 Thank you sm for sending this in @seutarose!! note: if u want requests to be gender-neutral then no worries! just include that in the request pwease ☺️🌻🌻

Oblivious

Request: I love your work!!! Could you do a Jaskier x reader where the reader is shy and is always embarrassed/oblivious to Jaskiers flirting and usual antics?? Thank you sm!! Requested by anon.

Request: Can you make one as if tissaia and the reader had a relationship similar to hers and Yennefer's, but more of mother and daughter? Requested by @lady-bridgerton .

Word Count: 637.

“Hey, Y/N!” Jaskier greeted.

“Hey, Jaskier! It’s been some time”.

“Y/N!” Geralt greeted.

“Geralt!” You greeted back.

“Is Tissaia here? I need to speak with her”.

“Yes. She’s in her usual place. I’ll go get her-“.

“There’s no nee-“.

You informed her that Geralt was here to speak to her and she came out with you.

The two of them started talking when Jaskier approached you “I-uhm brought you this flower. I forgot what it’s called, but Geralt said it’s very rare and only grows in certain places and when it does, there aren’t many of it. It reminded me of you- you know, beautiful, rare and one of a kind”.

“Thank you. It’s very kind of you… mmm… it smells really nice” you expressed.

“Just like you” he complimented.

“You think so?”.

“I do”.

“Thank you”.

“So, uhm what are you doing this evening?” Jaskier asked.

“Probably nothing. Just practicing some magic”.

“Wo- would you like to go out later. To a tavern or something?” He asked you out.

“Uhm, sure. I think Tissaia would love a change of place and then her and Geralt can continue their discussion”.

“That’s not what I meant”.

“What do you mean, then?”.

“What I meant to say is would you go out with me, just the two of us?”.

“Why? Did something happen between you and Geralt? Did he insult you again? If you want, then I can talk to him-“.

“No, no, no! He didn’t do anything. I- just wanted to talk to you alone”.

“I don’t understand. What’s wrong?”.

“Y/n, nothing is wrong. I- I like you”.

“I like you too, Jaskier. What is all this about?” You asked.

“No, I like you- like you” he tried to explain.

For the past five minutes Geralt and Tissaia were listening to your conversation and tried to not to laugh.

“I think we should interrupt” Tissaia told Geralt “Can I borrow Y/n for a minute?” She took you to the corner while Geralt talked to Jaskier.

“What is it?” You asked.

“Do you love Jaskier?”.

“Of course I do, he’s my friend”.

“Not that kind of love. The other kind, the one that you’d consider having his children”.

“That’s uhm-“.

“Y/n, I love you like a daughter, you know that! You’re my favorite student. I was never fortunate enough to have children of my own, but for that I was gifted you. As a mother I would advise you if you have feelings for him to tell him. He’d madly in love with you and he’s a good man. There are a few good men left and you’re fortunate to know two of them. I know he will treat you right, but it’s your choice. You’re not obliged to stay in this place with me” Tissaia suggested.

“I understand”.

“You fool, she’s not getting what you’re trying to say. Just be straightforward with her” Geralt advised Jaskier.

“But I don’t think she loves me. At least not the way I love her” he looked disappointed.

“I assure you, she does. And even if she doesn’t, at least you’ll have all of this behind you and won’t have to think about it every goddamn night! Now, go tell her!” He ordered.

“Y/n” Jaskier awkwardly giggled.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get what you were trying to say all that time. I do like you, Jaskier. The way you like me and not just as a friend” you admitted.

It took him a moment to realize that the only way you found out was through Tissaia. He nodded at her showing his thanks before finally facing you “I- uhm, can I kiss you?” He scratched his head.

“You must certainly can” you chuckled and came closer to him so he could place his lips on yours.

What Consumes Us (biker!Geralt)

Chapter 6

A/N: This doesn’t even count as something I’ve written today because I wrote this like three weeks ago :( As always I want to give a huge HUGE thank you to my babes @scarlettwitcher and @justyouraveragemainblog because without either of you guys I would still be in the creating stages of this fic that I absolutely love!!!

Word Count: 4.2k

Warnings: none I think

Romina folded her arms beneath her chest, her eyes finding the brown husky sitting in the passenger seat of the truck. Roach barked once, alerting Geralt of Romina. He lifted his head. His golden eyes followed her as she walked around the front of his truck to get to the driver’s side door. He rolled the window down, sighing quietly.

“Thought Tissaia would’ve gotten the hint that I don’t want to be followed.” Romina stood a few feet from the door, looking in at the Witcher.

“Tissaia didn’t send me.” Geralt turned his head to look ahead of his truck. “Three cars in front of me is a police car. They’re here to watch you, just as I.”

“Why?” Romina turned her head to look in the same direction as him but he stopped her.

“Don’t look at them.”

Romina shuffled closer to the truck, suddenly feeling nauseous at the thought of the cops watching her.

“Are they Suns?” She quietly asked, leaning against the door. Geralt nodded once. “And you…. You’re here because they’re here?”

“I’m here because you’re clueless to everything that goes on around you.” His words were harsh but he didn’t feel bad for saying what needed to be said. “Every time that I haven’t been with you for the last week, you’ve been attacked.”

“There…. There was only that one time when you were shot.”

“And when we met. I was told by a friend that she saw you get stuffed into a trunk.”

Romina took a soft deep breath through her nose, her eyes carefully watching him.

“How long have you been following me?” She wasn’t too sure she wanted to know the answer to that. While part of her brain was telling her that this man that she barely following her and practically stalking her sounded like something straight out of a horror movie, another part of her brain was telling her that he could be trusted. Geralt was keeping her safe. He’d proven that time and time again.

“Long enough to know that you can’t protect yourself.”

“Then teach me.”

Geralt drew his brows together.

“Teach you?”

“Yeah.” Romina nodded. “Teach me to protect myself. Maybe then you can stop following me.”

He sighed out and looked over to Roach, who was watching Romina. Her tongue was hanging out as she panted softly.

“Fine-,”

“Great! Let’s go.” Romina turned to go back to her apartment.

“Right now?”

She didn’t answer him but gave him a thumb’s up as she crossed the road.

The Witcher looked down and sighed.

“Fuck.”

***

He closed the door to Romina’s apartment behind himself. Roach busied herself with sniffing around the apartment.

“Have you ever taught someone to fight before?” Romina turned to face him.

“Yes.”

“Where did you learn?”

“Kaer Morhen.”

“I’ve heard of that place. What is it?”

“If you’re going to ask questions all night, how do you expect to learn to fight for yourself?”

Romina rolled her eyes. She rolled her head from side to side and shook out her hands.

“Where do we start?”

Geralt watched her for a few moments, studying her carefully. He tucked a few pieces of white hair behind his ear and motioned for her to approach him.

“Come here.”

“Why?”

“Because I said so.”

“Why do I need to be so close to you?” Romina muttered as she shuffled forward a little.

“I’m hoping that if you’re as far away from an assailant as you are to me, you’ll do the smart thing and run.”

She took a few more steps towards him until the toe of her boots were just a few inches from his much larger ones.

“You know, you don’t talk much but when you do, it’s all just a bunch of sassy remarks and bullshit no one asked-,”

A high pitched yelp escaped Romina’s lips as Geralt knocked his boot against the inside of her knee, pushing her leg out from underneath her. She stumbled and would’ve hit the ground had he not grabbed her arm.

“You talk too much.” He mumbled, releasing her only once he was sure she was steady on her feet. “Are you actually going to listen to me or are you going to talk back the entire night?”

Romina crossed her arms and huffed. This wasn’t going to be as easy as she thought it would be.

***

Romina hit the floor of her living room with a thud, the air escaping her lungs. Geralt knelt down over her, his knee carefully resting just below her rib cage. He wasn’t applying all of his weight to that area, but he was making sure that she couldn’t easily get up.

His hand grabbed for her wrist, effectively securing one to the floor by her head. He paused, looking down at her just to make sure he wasn’t hurting her.

“You’re heavy.” She tried to shift a little but he didn’t allow it.

“You’re full of complaints. What’s your next move?”

“Like I’d tell you.” She grunted. Using her free hand, she grabbed for his hand pinning her other hand to the floor. She tugged at the sleeve of his long sleeve and even tried to hit his arm to loosen his grip on her.

She growled in frustration. Her heart thumped in her chest and breathing was difficult, not because of Geralt’s knee practically being pressed to her sternum, but because she struggled to keep up with his fast pace. He hadn’t been taking it easy on her.

“Hit my elbow with the heel of your palm.” He offered the advice in a quiet voice. Romina’s eyes flickered up to look at his arm. She looked back to him to see if he was tricking her. “Do it.”

She brought her bottom lip between her teeth. She did as he told. The heel of her palm collided with his elbow. He didn’t budge.

“You asshole.” She muttered.

“You have to hit me harder than that.”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Don’t be afraid of that. Just do it.”

Romina gritted her teeth together. She hit his elbow one more time, knocking it out of place.

Sensing her annoyance and anger, Geralt let her go and moved to stand up. He held his hand out for her.

“You’re a shitty teacher.”

“You’re a shitty student.” He countered, effortlessly pulling her to her feet.

“Am not!”

“You’re a shitty student because you’re afraid to hurt me. You think the Black Sun is going to be easy if they get their hands on you like they almost did last night? Cahir may be your uncle but he’s proven before that he doesn’t care if you’re hurt by his people.”

Romina crossed her arms, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.

“You’re still a shitty teacher.” She muttered. He rolled his eyes at her and shook his head. “You’re beating the shit out of me.”

“I haven’t hit you once.”

“No, but you’ve pinned me at least a dozen times!”

“Because you aren’t focusing. You’re distracted.” He moved to sit on the edge of the sofa next to Roach.

“No, I’m not.” Romina threw herself down into a chair.

“Your mind isn’t here, it’s elsewhere. You think things will come to you naturally, but in order for that to happen, you need to be disciplined.”

Romina sat up, rubbing her face with her hands. She rested her elbows on her knees and exhaled heavily.

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize for it-,”

“I’m not apologizing for being a shitty student. I’m apologizing for being an ass today.”

“I don’t want an apology.” Geralt shook his head gently. He sat down on the edge of the sofa next to Roach.

“I was an asshole to you. I yelled at you.”

“I’ve had many do worse.” He looked over to Roach.

Romina watched him for a few moments.

“What was bothering you earlier today?”

“Nothing that concerns you.”

“Well, if you get to know everything about my life, why can’t I know at least something about yours?” Romina stood up and moved to go to the kitchen.

He didn’t answer her.

“I didn’t know you and Yennefer dated.”

“We didn’t.” He huffed.

“She’s cute and super scary. Fits you.” She pulled two water bottles from the fridge and passed him one as she returned to her chair.

“We couldn’t be anymore ill-suited for each other.” He glanced down at the label to the water.

Romina watched him for a few moments before she dropped her sight down to her hands.

“I’m stuck in this, aren’t I?” She hesitated to look back up at him. His golden eyes met hers.

“In Aretuza?”

She nodded her head.

“I’m afraid so.”

Romina sighed gently, leaning back in her seat.

“I don’t want to be clueless. To be…. To be the one who knows nothing. It makes me feel stupid and I look like an ass.”

“Your life has been turned upside down, Romina. It’s been less than a week. You’ll learn eventually.”

“What’s Blaviken?”

Her question caught him off guard. He glanced to her out of the corner of his eyes.

“It’s on your jacket.” She nodded to the leather jacket he’d thrown across the back of a chair in the kitchen.

Geralt ran a hand over his jaw and leaned back, sinking into the sofa. Roach moved to rest her head on his thigh.

“It was a bar.”

“Was? What happened to it?”

“Burned down six decades ago.”

Romina nodded her head softly. She bit her bottom lip, her eyes flickering around the room.

“What makes you the Butcher of Blaviken?”

Sensing his hesitation, she immediately started to back track.

“You don’t have to tell me. I-I know everyone has…. everyone has things they don’t care to talk about.”

Geralt debated on telling her, his hand gently brushed over Roach’s head. He didn’t have to answer any of her questions technically. He didn’t have to tell her anything. His only job was to make sure she stayed alive. 

“Seventy years ago, it was attacked. Forty-eight men died. Seventeen were Witchers.”

“How many survived?”

“Just two.” He paused for a moment, his hand stilling on Roach’s head. “Myself and Barrett.”

Romina inhaled softly, her brows drawing together.

“You knew my father?” She asked quietly. Geralt nodded his head once. “You never acted like you knew him.”

The white haired man said nothing.

“What was he like?”

“What do you remember about him?” Geralt countered.

Romina looked down at her hands, messing with her nails.

“He was always…. He was always smiling.” The corners of her lips turned up just a little. “He always had such great stories to tell. I’d only see him on my birthday but we’d stay up in the living room and he’d tell me stories of everywhere he had been. I never understood why he stayed away.”

“Witchers aren’t supposed to have families. It’s against our code.” Geralt stretched one arm across the back of the sofa.

“That sounds like a very lonely lifestyle.” Romina murmured, looking up at him through her dark lashes. He met her eyes, finding himself lost in her chocolate gaze.

“It can be, but one learns to suffice with the life he’s given. Barrett loved your mother. His loyalty to her was the only thing more powerful than his loyalty to our guild.”

She fell silent for a few moments.

“So if you…. if you became the Butcher of Blaviken seventy years ago…. How old are you?”

“I stopped counting after it got into the triple digits.”

Romina furrowed her brows together gazing at the man sitting across from her, confused.

“Surprised?”

“You don’t…. You don’t look old.”

“Witchers don’t age.”

“So not only are you a part of a group that hunts monsters, but you also can’t have a family and you can’t age?”

He nodded stiffly.

“Now I understand.” She dropped her gaze back to her hands.

“Understand what?”

“Why you’re so…. brooding and always pissy. I would be too if I was forced to watch the ones I cared about age and die while I didn’t.”

Geralt said nothing. His eyes fell to the floor.

“I learned my lesson after a few decades passed. That’s why I decided to become allies with the Hellcats. Mages age slowly.”

Romina said nothing in reply. She didn’t know what to say. She looked around the room, her eyes falling on the clock in the kitchen. It was nearly midnight.

“You think Tissaia is going to be mad that I got assholey earlier? What will she do when I go back tomorrow?”

“She won’t be mad at you. She’s been teaching mages for decades. She has more patience than what most give her credit for. When mages are young, they make mistakes and learn from them. That’s how it’s always been. You’re no different.”

Romina nodded her head.

“I’m tired. I’ve had a couple pretty shitty days.” She pushed herself to her feet. “Are you staying?”

“I’ll be outside.” He stood up too and whistled once, making Roach jump off the couch.

“You don’t have to go sit out there in your truck all night.” Romina shook her head. “I don’t mind you staying in here. I know you probably won’t sleep but you can chill out around here.” She gestured to her living room and kitchen. “There’s tv if you want to keep yourself occupied.”

“I don’t watch television.”

“Of course you don’t.” She sighed out. “Well, the offer is still there. Stay up here. Or don’t. I don’t care. I’m going to bed.”

The Next Morning

As Romina made her way out of her room, she slipped on her oversized denim jacket.

Geralt sat on the end of the sofa where he had been last night with his eyes closed.

Thinking he was asleep, Romina took quiet steps across the living room to get to the kitchen. She carried her combat boots in her hand. They were placed on a chair at the table before she went to start making coffee. Once the pot was set and brewing fresh coffee, she went to the table to put her boots on.

“Where are you going?”

Romina jumped, putting her hand over her heart as she looked across the room to the Witcher.

“Did I wake you?”

“I wasn’t sleeping.”

“Your eyes were closed.”

“Meditating. Where are you going?”

“Nosy much?”

He rolled his eyes.

“Seems how you don’t have a vehicle and I’m babysitting you, I sort of need to know.”

It was Romina’s turn to roll her eyes.

“I want to go to Aretuza. I need to learn how to use my magic-or whatever the hell it is that makes mirrors shake and people die when I touch them.”

Geralt watched her stand from the table, having just tied her boots on. She was dressed in a pair of black high-waisted skinny jeans and a gray tank top with a denim jacket that seemed a couple sizes too big for her. Her brunette hair was gathered in a very messy bun on the top of her head. Pieces fell out and down around her face.

She went over to the cabinet by the coffee pot and pulled out a to-go cup.

“Do you want any coffee?” She asked without looking to him.

“No.” He answered as he rose to his feet. “I’ll be out in my truck.”

***

Something shiny in the corner of her eyes caught Romina’s attention. She turned her head to look at Geralt. It was the silver medallion he wore around his neck. The sun was reflecting off of it and shining into her eyes. She saw it once before when he’d taken his leather jacket off but he was quick to tuck the metal into his shirt.

Without asking, she reached over and picked up the pendant to examine it closer. He looked down at her hand and then briefly over to her, alarmed. His grip on the steering wheel tightened as she touched the wolf pendant.

“What’s this for?” She curiously asked.

“Every Witcher has one.” He took the wolf pendant from her and tucked it into the collar of his black shirt.

“Why?”

“It’s from their time at Kaer Morhen.”

“What is that place? I’ve heard you mention it before.”

“You ask too many questions.”

“Cause I don’t know a lot about this.” Romina turned her head to look out of the passenger window. “It’s like I was in some coma dream and woke up in a new time. All of this shit is new to me.”

Geralt said nothing for a while so she figured he wasn’t going to answer her. She tried to occupy herself, counting cars they passed and searching the sky for any clouds.

“It’s where I did my training.”

Romina looked back to him, staying quiet for a few moments.

“Training? Like military training?”

“Witcher training.”

“You guys had somewhere you went to train other Witchers?” She furrowed her brows together. “I didn’t think…. I thought you guys were just…. just a gang or something.”

“That’s what everyone small-minded thinks.”

“I’m trying to learn more.” She told him, dropping her gaze to her hands. “It’s just hard because everyone gives me short answers or none at all.”

Geralt let out a heavy breath through his nose, shifting a little in his seat.

“Witchers were created to stop monsters. Centuries ago, they lurked everywhere and wreaked havoc. Since Witchers came to be, the monsters have dwindled. But since there are no more Witchers being created and our numbers are declining every day, the number of monsters is slowly increasing. Outside the walls of Cintra is more dangerous now than it has been in decades.”

“Being created?” She repeated quietly. “What does that mean?”

“You don’t know a damn thing about anything, do you?” He was growing irritated with her questions, with how invasive she was being. He knew she meant no harm and she was only curious, but he wasn’t willing to talk about his history. “Your own father was a Witcher.”

Romina fell silent. She could sense his agitation. His hostility was sharp and bitter.

Geralt looked to her, wanting to see why she stopped talking. Her eyes were focused on the road ahead. She messed with her fingers in her lap.

***

As soon as Geralt had put the truck into park behind Aretuza, Romina was unbuckling and getting out of the truck. The Witcher felt a little guilty for what he said. He knew she didn’t have a relationship with her father.

“Romina.”

“What?” She stopped herself from closing the door and looked at him.

“I…. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“You didn’t.” She shook her head, closing the door roughly.

***

Romina knocked on the opened door to Tissaia’s office. The Rectress lifted her head and put the pen she was holding down.

“I want you to teach me how to be a mage.”

She didn’t speak immediately and instead held Romina’s gaze.

“Come back this evening at 5.”

“I’m here now.”

“I’m not teaching a mage, let alone a Source as unstable and stunted as you, while my bar is filled with civilians.”

“What the hell am I supposed to do for the next six hours?” Romina three her hands in the air.

“That’s for you to figure out yourself, mouse.”

Romina growled in frustration and left the office. She made her way back down the hallway towards the bar.

“Leaving so soon, Romie?” Vilgefortz teased.

“Fuck off.” Romina grunted. Geralt, who’d been sitting at the bar starting a conversation with the mage, sighed heavily and rolled his eyes.

“Good luck with that one.” Vilgefortz nodded to Romina as she left through the front doors.

“I’ll need more than luck.”

***

Romina stopped just outside of the bar, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes. She didn’t need to be so upset with Tissaia. She understood why the Rectress wanted to wait, she was just frustrated.

“Hi, Romina.”

She turned her head to see Jaskier approaching her. She stiffened up, crossing her arms.

“Jaskier.”

“Can we, erm, can we just have a little chat?” He motioned to the bar.

“There’s not much for us to talk about.”

“There is, actually. Just give me a chance to explain myself, please.” Jaskier begged, stepping towards her. “Please, Romina.”

She gazed at him, locking her jaw tightly. She felt betrayed by him, by the only person she deemed a true, honest friend in Cintra.

“You lied to me, Jaskier. There’s not much else to explain.”

“I did what I had to do-,” He stopped himself as a group of people passed them. He didn’t want outsiders to hear their conversation. “Romina, please.”

She sighed heavily, annoyed, and moved to go back into Aretuza. She had nothing better to do for the rest of the day, so why not listen to the man’s excuse. 

The two settled in a booth in one of the front corners of the bar.

“I didn’t lie to you about anything except that I work for Tissaia.”

“Our whole friendship is based on a lie, Jaskier.”

“No, it’s not, love.” He shook his head firmly. “I consider you a great friend. You were like-like a breath of fresh air in this hell hole.” He glanced around the room.

“Are you a mage too?” Romina placed her hands in her lap.

“Gods no.” He chuckled. “I just sort of run around doing this and that.”

“Do you even go to college?”

“Yes, I do.” He smiled a little. “I am a theater major. And sometimes, I sing here at the bar. People love me.”

Romina’s brown eyes lingered on him for a few moments before she looked out of the window.

“I don’t know who I can and can’t trust anymore.”

“I know this is all difficult for you, love.” Jaskier moved to sit in the booth next to her. “But just know that I’m here for you.“

His words were only a little comforting to her.

***

Romina stepped into the bar with Jaskier right beside her. They’d spent the whole day wandering around the city nearby Aretuza, wanting to stay busy until the bar closed for a couple hours before the evening crowd.

Vilgefortz and Triss sat at a table in the center of the bar. Geralt and Yennefer were at the bar. Sabrina and Tissaia were just entering the bar from the back hallway.

Romina met Tissaia’s gaze. The Rectress tilted her chin up just a little.

“Have a seat, mouse.”

Romina wished that the woman would call her by her name. It irritated her to be called a mouse, but she was sure Tissaia knew this.

Jaskier moved to sit beside Yennefer and Geralt.

Romina went to sit at the table in front of Tissaia. The Rectress waved her hand over the table. A bundle of yellow daisies formed on the wooden top.

“Turn these flowers into a bird.” Tissaia ordered. Romina furrowed her eyebrows together.

“I don’t know how to do that.”

“Concentrate. Focus your energy into what you want to happen.” Tissaia simply looked at the flowers and they turned into a yellow canary right in front of Romina’s eyes. With a simple snap of her fingers, the bird exploded and flower petals seemed to emerge from the creature.

Romina was captivated by what the Rectress had just done, though her stomach did hurt.

“Your turn.” Tissaia made the flowers reappear on the table.

Romina took a slow deep breath and looked down at the daisies. She pushed all of her concentration to the front of her mind, chanting in her head what she wanted to happen. Turn the flowers into a bird. Turn the flowers into a bird. Turn the flowers into a bird.

The flowers seemed to tremble slightly before they formed into a little yellow canary. Excited and proud of herself, Romina laughed. But then she felt an aching pain in her left hand. It felt as though someone was scraping the bones in her hand. She looked down to see her skin turning gray.

An audible gasp escaped her lips and she brought her other hand up to touch the mutated skin of her hand. It was cold and hard. She was turning to stone. While her mind told her to panic, to scream and even cry, she couldn’t find her voice. Her heart hammered in her chest and breathing was difficult, but she maintained her composure. Without even thinking, she placed her right hand over her left one. Her lips moved but she wasn’t sure what she said. Her left hand began to turn back to its normal color and the pain went away.

Tissaia had watched Romina’s reaction and saw the way she muttered something under her breath. She wasn’t able to catch what the young woman said.

Romina moved her fingers, flexing them and turning her hand over to inspect it. When she was sure everything was back to normal, she looked up to Tissaia.

“Does that always happen?” Her voice was quiet.

“Not if you know how to balance your chaos. What did you say to reverse what was happening?”

“I-I don’t know.” Romina admitted, racking her brain for an answer. She didn’t remember saying anything.

Tissaia looked over to Geralt, who’d been watching Romina carefully. The Witcher met the Rectress’ gaze but said nothing.

“Why did that happen?” Romina asked.

“Magic is organized chaos.” Tissaia answered. “There are two things required for magic. Balance and control. Your control is extraordinary. I’ve never seen anything like it in my years.”

“How is my control extraordinary if I killed someone without meaning to?”

“That was the Source in you emerging for a split second to protect you. Call it self-preservation. Your balance, however, is horrendous. You allow yourself to be dictated by your emotions.”

“Do not.” Romina muttered under her breath.

“Last night you stomped out of here like a child throwing a tantrum. I want you to start meditating, little mouse.”

“What’s that supposed to do?”

“It will help you focus on self-control.”

“But you just said my control was great.”

“The control you have over you Chaos is outstanding, but your control over your temper and your actions isn’t the greatest. A mage must be calm and collected at all times. However you aren’t any ordinary mage. You are a Source. You must be the best of any mage on the Continent.”

“If you play your cards correctly, you could easily move up in ranks.” Vilgefortz told her. 

“What does that mean?”

“Instead of being a bartender here, you could be something more.” Yennefer butted in.

“Calanthe could take an interest in you. She’s expressed concern over your training already.” Tissaia said. “Now, let’s work on your telepathy.”

[nonbinary-renfri]

OMG all of this. yes. yes!

it’s funny that u focused more on the first part of that night bc it tends to be the second part that makes my yenralt brainworms go crazy.... laying sprawled beneath the sheets together talking abt what they might’ve been, if they hadn’t ended up in the lives they did. idk if they’re laying next to each other in bed to emphasize that they and their storylines are parallels but that seems like some plausible filmography shit. I LOVE THEM TEASING EACH OTHER, the way yennefer jokes w geralt abt how he should’ve been a stableman and how she smiles back at him when he laughs softly and says horses are good company, before he admits that if he ever wanted to be anything else he’s forgotten what it might’ve been. every time i hear that my heart breaks for him and i imagine yennefer’s does a bit too, bc even though she didn’t have much of a choice herself abt what to become they didn’t manage to take her memory of who she used to be from her. and then, of course, “i dreamed of becoming important to someone,” and geralt starting to fall asleep and how even as she’s acting offended yennefer smiles at him in such a sweet, giddy way and geralt laughs again and tells her she’s not boring him at all and she just looks so happy as she settles down next to him in bed.... and as he’s drifting off to sleep he tells her she’s important to him and the look of awe yennefer gives him.. the way she touches his face like he’s something fragile and precious... her snuggling even closer to him.... and then the next morning she wakes up, rolls over, and there he is, clearly already awake but still in bed by her side. just like he promised he would be, bc he came here for her. GOD i love them sm!!!!!

YENRALT YES -yenngeraskier

first off, thank you for answering the call from my heart 😂 bless u

secondly, THEM ahhhhhhhhh. i can’t deal with them. like i’ve been seeing some talks about 1x06 on my dash today and yes yes the tent scene is SO INCREDIBLE!!!! geralt listening to jaskier talk about what “do what pleases you while you can” and then going to see yen i’m. god. the way he hesitates before going in her tent. the way they look at each other at that moment. neither of them really sure of what to expect. and yen, my dear yen, smiling while still thinking he came just for the sex, for her body. her surprise when he stops her and tells her he came for her. her smile!!!!!!! HE CAME FOR HER. her. and it means he came for her in the tent yes but but on this whole trip too. he wouldn’t have said yes if it wasn’t for her. he doesn’t care about the dragon, just her. and he wants her to know that.

and it’s all she needed to open up too. she tells him she was afraid for him. that she likes his nonsense (which is adorable pls). and in this entire scene they’re so soft and gentle with each other it makes me want to cry. and they even talk about him leaving, he asks for her forgiveness. like can we talk about how great this is??? that’s how you build a healthy ship. and it really feels like a something switched in their relationship. and i know this is different from the books and yes they lived in vengerberg together and it was wonderful I KNOW. but this didn’t happen in the show (that we know of) and it just feels like they’re getting there? ready for the good stuff. and trying to trust each other and be honest and open. i’m sad for them it barely lasted but it was so nice.

and the kisses oh god. i could wax poetic about them. they’re so so sweet. the way geralt just looks at her before leaning oh so slowly, letting her plenty of opportunity to back out of this if she wanted to. but she doesn’t. she stays, closes her eyes and waits for his lips to touch hers. and it’s so fucking SOFT. but the softness quickly fades with them and turns into more. into lust and want. and like ok i’m a bit disappointed it was a fade to black but it’s ok because we get to see them in bed together after. and oh is it wonderful :’)))) i love how open their faces are, just bare and honest and you can read them like an open book. the dialogue is lovely. i’m still in love with yen gently mocking geralt’s love of horses :D and yen is just, opening her heart to him when she tells him she dreamed of becoming important to someone. and then he tells her “you’re important to me” and i die. it’s all i wanted for yen, for someone to tell her. sighhhhhhh.
