#sometimes geralt can be romantic

[perseruna]

Endiness made a beautiful long post with all his quotes on that topic that I think is very informative and worth looking at, so here’s a link to that. And with that already discussed, I thought I’d make a thread of all his changes that we are aware of, because when you look into them, you find that none of his “book accurate” changes are actually book accurate. 

His decision to make Geralt grunt and cut his lines.

HC: "All the grunts, I either added or I didn't say anything and just grunted instead. It was often up to the other actors to go, 'I think he's not gonna say anything now.'"

JB: "Henry likes to cut his lines, 'cause he's lazy. No, he literally just likes to cut them. He likes to do more up here [frames his face with his hands] and just with face and hmms and grunts. There's a lot of hmms, and so I often have to take a lot of his lines and turn it into a lot of my stuff so that the plot happens."

So, as everyone who has read the books knows that Geralt is and always has been a yapper. Gerakt often talks or thinks in monologues, and definitely not in short grunts.

Of course when the audience started making fun of Geralt for not being able to speak in full sentences Henry promptly went back on admitting the blame and instead said that the big bad writers were the ones who didn't give him lines, and now it was his life’s mission to fight for a book accurate Geralt who speaks. 

Roach’s death scene

After S2 came out, Lauren received a lot of backlash for Roach’s death scene, with multiple sources citing that she wanted the moment to be more “comedic” before the brave Henry Cavill stepped in and refused to participate in such horrible anti source material activities.

LH: "Henry was so unhappy with the line. Finally I said, 'You know what, you come up with something. I trust you, you know this material so well, you know the book so well, you don't even have to pitch it to me.' And he came back the next day with a beautiful speech that's at the end of 'Sword of Destiny' when Geralt is facing death.”

This is the line he ended up using:

“Enjoy your last walk across the meadow and through the mist. Be not afraid of her for she is your friend."

This was Lauren’s response AND the original line.

LH: “Here's what was scripted, in homage of the fact that a previous Roach had existed, and another one will exist soon. It's hardly a joke. Henry wanted a longer, more emotional moment, which I was more than happy to give him. Don't create drama where none exists.”

So in S2 Geralt ends up quoting a part of his monologue from ‘Sword of Destiny’ when he’s at his lowest after thinking that Yennefer had died at the battle of Sodden Hill, and he has nothing left to live for. Which to me doesn't work that well with Roach at all. That line was a response to Geralt thinking he's lost the love of his life, not his horse. In my opinion, the original line Lauren penned out is more heartfelt and actually more emotional and more book accurate as well.

The absolute removal of any Triss and Geralt “romance”

This one we don’t have that much information on in comparison to others. But there were multiple reports that at the beginning of S2 Triss and Geralt were supposed to have some kind of a romantic scene with each other which then was cut during production, and it was largely speculated that it was due to Henry Cavill. 

“Several months ago we reported on a sex scene happening between Geralt and Triss, sometime in the first half of Season 2. That didn’t happen, as we all saw, but here’s what we know about the original plan for that: Geralt and Triss are in a room together, they seem friendly at first. They are playing some kind of weird game. Whoever wins a round, gets to ask a question. We’re not privy to the exact flow of the conversation, but it eventually leads to both of them ending up in bed. We can only guess why this was cut, but perhaps it was thanks to Henry Cavill.”

Now, irrelevantly on your feelings on book Triss and Geralt you have to admit that that short-lived “romance” is indeed a part of the books and therefor book accurate. So the removal of it would go against Mr I’m fighting to make this show as much book accurate as possible. 

The removal of the Yen and Geralt sex scene in S2

"We just wanted to be very careful that it was true and real, and it didn't turn into something that we, as actors, didn't believe it should be," Cavill stated. When Yennefer and Geralt unite, they embrace, but it doesn't go further than that. He continued: "We wanted it to be emotional rather than sexual. It was really, really important, and we had to lean away from what was originally on the page." Initially, Geralt and Yennefer were written to have a more passionate night. Henry Cavill and Anya Chalotra went to "The Witcher" producers and explained why they thought a steamy evening was not the way to go. "These are people who believe one thing about the fate of another and then find out something else is true," Cavill said about Geralt believing Yennefer was dead. "That's not how they behave," the actor added. "How they behave is they just want to be with the person and emotionally recognize their existence again in that shared space.”

This one is a bit tricky because I am willing to get behind an actor who doesn't want to do a sex scene out of comfort reasons or whatnot, but Henry saying that "That's not how [Yennefer and Geralt] behave”, is quite absurd in my opinion. Because that is very much how Geralt and Yennefer behave, especially in the short stories and ToC. They are inherently a very sexual couple who come crashing in and out of each other’s lives while having very passionate sex. But I can understand wanting this scene to be more “emotional” (as if sex isn't emotional), so this one I am willing to give him a bit more leeway on. (But then again looking at the blinds saying that he refused any sex scenes because oh his “ideals” and was allegedly really nasty to Anya about it, well..)

Geralt being the perfect father figure to Ciri with no flaws and no struggles (which inevitably snowballed into the Yen Betrayal Arc)

This one I don’t see talked that much at all, and to me this one is his most detrimental one. 

@LHissrich: “In interviews, Henry explains how he felt strongly that Geralt NOT be bumbling, nor a struggling father figure. In fact, a lot of S2 is about how Geralt does come from a loving (albeit unconventional) family. Henry was passionate about this shift, and we discussed it a lot, and ultimately thought it was wonderful for his character development. But it also had the domino effect of changing what Ciri needed from Yen when she entered the picture. Thus, introducing the idea of balance.”

So I don’t know about you, but I love when characters have flaws and naturally progress be it for good or bad, some would say that that's what story telling is about, well that someone wouldn't be Henry Cavil. Geralt being a struggling father figure at first, someone who makes mistakes and learns from them and tries is very much a prominent theme in Blood of Elves and is actually very real, people make mistakes! Especially in huge shifts such as “becoming a father overnight’ but we didn't get that because Henry refused to play it that way. What we got is Geralt who already basically knows exactly how to parent, he always knows what to say, what pep talk to give and also doesn't hold any resentment and any negative feelings towards Vesemir at all. It's all one dimensional happy family here! Which goes against not only the books but what he preached about fighting tooth and nail to make the “forgotten” male characters three-dimensional as well because the horrible feminist Lauren only thinks about female characters. 

Lauren then goes on saying that “it also had the domino effect of changing what Ciri needed from Yen when she entered the picture. Thus, introducing the idea of balance” So, it is fair to speculate that Henry’s refusal to showcase Geralt having any flaws at all and act book accurate snowballed into The Controversial Yennefer Betrayal Arc. 

These are the ones that I can remember off the top off my head, so there might be more, there’s probably more that we aren’t even aware of. I think putting them all together showcase a very interesting picture. One of Henry Cavill never actually understanding who Geralt fundamentally is as a character, and of him not being a team player at all. I just hope that more and more people are aware of the insane PR his team did for him when it came to this show, and that more people are able to see through it.

Old Friend (Geralt x GN!Reader)

Pairing:  Show!Geralt of Rivia x Gender Neutral Reader (can be interpreted as platonic or romantic) Rating: Mature Words: 1670 POV: Second Summary: The Big Tober Day 21 - “I did what I had to do to protect those I love… I had no choice!” Note: Don't @ me for still posting things that were supposed to come out in October. Tags: angst, mention of Ciri & Yennefer, ft. Jaskier & Milva, murder and dark magic

Everyone would agree that Ciri was an unlucky girl with a life tainted by tragedy. Every time you spoke with her about her past, you felt a little pang in your heart. However, sometimes you envied her. The way Geralt reserved his warmest of smiles for his charge, the way the most powerful sorceress spent her time teaching Ciri and the power Ciri possessed sometimes made you feel like she was, in some way, a very lucky girl. 

You spent life on the run with Ciri, Geralt and Yennefer. Most of the time you felt like you were family, sometimes you felt like an extra, an unnecessary weight, but no one told you to leave. You had nothing to teach Ciri that Geralt and Yennefer couldn’t. They had it covered from sword to spells to alchemy. 

Then things kept going to shit and before you knew it, Geralt was flirting with death and Ciri was missing. You wanted to go find her, but Yennefer insisted you stayed with Geralt. “You can heal anything!” Geralt exclaimed as you exhausted yourself once more. He was capable of loud verbal abuse. You should’ve counted that as a win, but it was hard to, when Geralt was still bed-bound. 

“I’m doing everything I can!” You yelled back. Milva entered, her hand landing on your shoulder. It has been the same song over and over again ever since Jaskier revealed Ciri was on her way to Nilfgaard. Geralt proceeded to demand more of you. Milva forced you out. Jaskier was waiting for you with a brew of herbs that would help you recover your strength. “I’m really doing everything I can,” you sobbed by the fire. 

Jaskier put his arm around you, comforting you the best he could. “I know. He knows. He is just… Geralt.” You leaned against the bard, letting his body’s warmth seep into yours. You sat by the fire until it got dark. Jaskier eventually let you be to mull over your thoughts in peace. When you had the strength you used your magic on those that did appreciate it. You were weak, but even a little was for many enough to pull their foot out of the grave. 

Exhaustion gnawed at your bones. Your muscles felt like they were weighed down by the state of the world. You took a stroll out of the camp, trying to avoid Jaskier and Milva. They meant well, but their words were not enough to distract you from the power you lacked. 

When the lights of the camp were far behind you, you stopped walking. You couldn’t hold yourself up anymore, knees colliding with the muddy ground of the forest. From a secret pocket sewn into the coat you’ve had for over two decades, you procured an amulet you haven’t worn since you met Geralt all those years ago. The deep red gem reflected the light of the moon onto your eyes. Deep within the stone you could see an old friend. You promised Geralt you’d throw this trinket away; you promised you would never give in to temptation again, but despair had forced you quite literally to your knees. You clenched the charm tightly in your fist. “All is fair in love and war,” you whispered as you stared down at your fist, noticing how red light seeped between your fingers. “These are times of war and… I love him.”

Those words spoken aloud strengthened your resolve. You closed your eyes as you put the thin golden chain over your head, letting the amulet fall right where your heart was. As soon as that metal hit your chest, you felt an old friend occupying your mind once more. “I always knew you’d come back,” it told you. It gave you visions of how to help Geralt. The methods dancing on the grey moral spectrum, but led by these visions, you made your way back to the camp. You entered the tents of the sleeping patients you had helped earlier. You touched those that you didn’t think would make it to the morning. Their life force entered through your fingertips. They breathed their final breath. You felt the weak energy pooling together. One tent, two, three, you passed though the whole camp, taking what you needed from those that were not likely to hold onto it for long anyway. Each time you took, darkness rose to your skin, revealing your deeds in the night. 

Your veins had turned black by the time you entered the final tent. Geralt was fast asleep as well, too injured to even hear you entering, too unwell to open his eyes and ask you what you were doing there. A black tear rolled down your cheek as you placed your hand on his chest and let go of all the energy you had collected. The life energy of the people that died that night flowed from your chest down to your fingertips. In his sleep, Geralt inhaled deeply as the energy filled him. It only took a moment, but it felt like an eternity as you felt the weight of the lives you took to save the one most dear to you. 

When you were devoid of all the energy but your own, you collapsed on the ground, legs too tired to keep you up. You took deep breaths, trying to avoid looking at your hands. However, in the end you just needed to know how bad things were. You raised your palms, the sight - though expected - still horrifying. Your skin had blackened from the dark magic. Your hands felt fine though. “You did well. This is only the beginning of what we can achieve. You’re meant to take what you please,” the old friend’s voice echoed through your skull. The words were reassuring, but you knew all too well where things could lead. You reached for the amulet, ready to rip it off you. “You need me. Without me you’re useless. You can’t protect the ones you love.” 

Geralt had you once believe otherwise, but it only took one glance towards him to show you where his faith in you had led him to. Even the great White Wolf could be wrong sometimes. Defeated, you slowly let go of the amulet, allowing it to occupy its old spot. “Everything will be fine. You will be fine,” the being spoke through the amulet to you. You had heard those words a million times from Jaskier, but only now did they actually soothe you. 

The next morning you woke up from stirring on the bed. You hadn’t dared to leave the tent and slept on a chair. “Geralt,” you whispered, aware of your surroundings the moment your ears picked up on the rustling of blankets. You forgot what you looked like, immediately rising from the chair and joining Geralt at his side. You inspected the wound on his leg, but it was not there anymore, a new scar adorning his skin. 

Your eyes didn’t meet Geralt’s until he sat up on his own. “What did you do?” His voice dripped of venom. You lifted your head to meet his yellow eyes, darkened by the deeply furrowed eyebrows. Your throat felt tight, so tight that not a single syllable could make it through to the cold space between you and the Witcher. He called your name and reached out. You were frozen in place as his calloused fingers traced the black marks on your face. “What did you do?” He repeated the question, emphasising each word with urgency. 

Black tears pooled in your eyes, the first few already rolling down your cheeks by the time you found your voice once more. “I did what I had to do to protect those I love…” You swallowed a lump in your throat. “I had no choice.” Your voice trembled, each word shaking more than the previous one. 

Geralt was visibly seething as he grabbed your arm, his grip tight. “What did you do?” He demanded, voice booming in the small space. You tried to free yourself. 

“Geralt, please, you’re hurting me!” “Say it!” 

He knew you. He knew you from the moment he met you. He knew the person you could be once you gave up on your ‘old friend’. He knew what you did then and he knew what you did last night. He knew, but he didn’t want to. He wanted to be wrong. He wanted to have mistaken that familiar amulet around your neck. However, things were exactly as it seemed and just like things never changed, Jaskier and Milva came in right on que. 

Jaskier called out for Geralt, tried to calm him. He immediately commented on how he seemed to be better, proceeded to ask how. Meanwhile, Milva freed you of Geralt’s grip. A crowd had formed at the entrance, but you couldn’t see anyone in the room but Geralt. “How many have died tonight?” Geralt demanded to know, Jaskier and Milva now in between you two. They tried to calm him. “How many?” He roared. 

His fury eventually ripped the answer out of you. “I don’t know! I only took from those that were not likely to make it to the morning anyway.” 

“Jaskier…” Geralt’s voice was quieter now he got his answer from you. He turned to the bard. “How many people died tonight?” Jaskier turned to Milva, hoping she held the answer. 

“42,” she spoke with surprising steadiness. She then looked at you, shaming you with her eyes alone. She was not the only one who despised your existence after that night. Jaskier pleaded for your life, then left with Geralt to find Ciri. You had to go your own way, fend for yourself once more. If it wasn’t for your aching heart, it was like you never met the Witcher at all. He never wanted to see you again, but even as you walked with your backs facing each other, you felt like you would see him again. It was a funny thing… destiny.

Under the mistletoe with Jaskier

Hey my lovelies, back with another Christmas Headcanon! Credit to cafekitsune for the banner and the divider!

❄️Jaskier is fond of mistletoe, Sometimes he'll try and see how many kisses he can get under the mistletoe in one night.

❄️However, when Jaskier sees you, Jaskier wonders if perhaps you two might end up under the mistletoe together. He hopes for the opportunity.

❄️As a result, Jaskier spends the evening staring at you longingly from across the room much to Geralt's disdain. He doesn't know why Jaskier doesn't go and make his introductions. To which Jaskier makes a rebuttal about Geralt having no knowledge of flirting.

❄️Jaskier times his movement perfectly, keeping an eye on you as you navigate the space. He wants it to feel natural, to be the most perfect and romantic moment. Jaskier finds himself falling for you hard the longer he gazes at you.

❄️Although Jaskier maintains his usual bravado, the nerves are beginning to sink in. He questions why and he doesn't understand, but he intends to commit to his plan.

❄️The moment he commits to his plan, Jaskier is his usual and charming self. He plays it coy as he glances up and notices the mistletoe. As if he hasn't been watching it all night.

❄️The kiss is short, sweet and straight to the point. He doesn't want to cross any boundaries but wants it to be memorable. Jaskier puts his all into the kiss. When he pulls away, he hopes you'll seek him out for more later.

College assignments are stressing me out 😩 some hc’s for the mayan boys on helping their girl destress from exam season or anything similar?

Good luck babe!! It'll all be worth it in the end 💕

Angel/Coco goes more on the distraction route. He's never much liked academics, so as much as he may love you, he's not the type to sit and help you study. He does love helping you chill though. He'll take you out for dinner then ice cream. Take you with him for a ride with nowhere specific in mind, just letting you relax and enjoy the fresh air. He also definitely uses sex as a rewards for being so hard working and determined. He brings you to club parties even if you're tired and don't really feel like going, just so you can enjoy a night out and drink and dance and get your mind off the stress and demand from school.

EZ likes for you to be pampered. Books a couples massage. Pays for you to get a facial and your nails and toes done. He'll take you for nice romantic dinners. He just wants to do whatever he can to spend time with you and get your mind off the stress. He knows its for a good cause and it will all pay off in the end, but that doesn't mean he likes to see you worked up. He loves to help you study and that helps to take the edge off sometimes because he makes it fun and different, but he's the first to mandate breaks when he seems you need it.

Bishop hates seeing you stressed. He's always stressed, so he knows how it feels. Especially when its something that you can't just ignore, like the club or in your case school. He's more about doing whatever it is that you want. Where ever you want to eat, he's making reservations. You want to go to the beach? He finds the nicest one he can find. You want to spend the day out shopping? He's right there holding your bags. You just want to stay home and eat snacks and cuddle? He's got your favorite movie and treats at the ready. Whatever it takes to help you settle and calm down.

He spoils you like you wouldn't believe. Has offered more than four times to just bribe your teachers into letting you pass so you can not worry but you decline. Doesn't mean he won't ask a fifth. He spoils you like crazy. With each passed test or efficient study session, there's a gift. A ring, a necklace, a bouquet of roses, lingerie, a special painting. love notes, you name it. He's beyond proud of you and makes sure you know it. He books lavish vacations when you're on break, expensive restaurants after a big exam, massages after your shoulders stiff from studying. He'll do anything to make sure you feel that you are his pride and joy.

[zambehnation]

so this came about because S2 Jaskier looked a little emo and my brain was like S1 Jaskier= romantic, breezy, alt-folk music think The Lumineers and S2 Jaskier= MCR and I was listening to "I dont love you" and thought what if Jaskier veered into the black eyeliner, dark reds and black clothing emo musician phase of the 2000s after a "break up" with Geralt?

Geraskier Modern AU prompt:

Jaskier and Geralt met in college. Jaskier was a double major in musical theory and theater with an alt-folk band that played in that one hipster cafe across campus that catered to art students in the late afternoons and held dnd nights for the nerdy kids every tuesday evening. He knew everyone on campus, was well liked, was invited to every party by every kind of student from the goths to the frat boys and one friday evening after midterms- when everyone else was out getting plastered and making bad choices and he, himself was drunk off his ass, thinking the library would be a decent place for a nap, he'd come across Geralt looking miserable and lonely and studying what appeared to be a giant tome with numbers and drawn figures on a friday evening!!! And he'd just felt bad and Geralt had pretty white hair and he couldnt help the clawing need in his gut to adopt this person like one of those grumpy stray cats he sometimes feeds outside the dorms. Ofcourse, Geralt had hissed and clawed when Jaskier slid into the seat across from him and tried to strike up a conversation. Ofcourse, Geralt eventually ran out annoyed but Jaskier was nothing if not a persistent little shit that kept showing up, unexpectedly until Geralt begrudgingly gave in and they became friends.

Ofcourse, they also fall in love at some point, because why not? but neither of them want to destroy a good thing and Jaskier thinks Geralt is straighter than an arrow and Geralt thinks he couldnt possibly compete with all the beautiful people Jaskier falls into brief and intense situationships with and though Jaskier flirts he'd never be seriously interested and really theyre both just morons.

Fast forward 10 years into their unlikely friendship, Geralt with a not exciting but stable job as an engineer, met Yennefer at some company gathering and he and Jaskier have a falling out because Jaskier doesnt like Yennefer but he was trying so hard not to show it and come off as a jealous bitch and Geralt wants to try with someone else because 10 years is a long time to be in love with someone who was unable to be serious about anyone and he thought he wanted normal- white picket fence, and a kid, kind of love not the wait for your messy bestfriend to get his shit together and actually see you kind of love and yes, they're morons.

Fast forward, a kid, a divorce, 5 years later and Jaskier becomes a successful musician and Geralts teenage daughter Ciri loves him and Geralt, wanting to make his adopted daughter happy is on a mission to get tickets to a sold out concert for her birthday. Only, can he really just slide into the dms, hope for the best and not reopen old wounds?

And what if, after all this time, there's still something there?

[castillon02]

Jaskier is decent at getting dates.

What he's even better at? Interrupting other people's dates.

Leave him to his own devices? Suddenly there's bread in his pants. Oh yes, he's well aware.

Put him opposite a romantic opponent, however, and he transforms into a foil.

Opposite a rustic farmer and his beau, he becomes sophisticated cityfolk, tantalizingly novel. Across the tavern from a city banker and his prospective dalliance, Jaskier is a wandering, worldly rogue who cares more for joy than money (but still a little bit for money). Next to a merchant and his beauty, he changes into a man skilled with his hands, happy to work his body hard, delighting in being unpredictable the way trade routes aren't.

Across the Continent, folk turn their eyes away from their partner and towards him, or rather, towards what their partners aren't, towards flash and change and hope.

The schtick works even better with a Witcher. Jaskier makes himself irate where Geralt is patient, loud where Geralt is quiet, friendly where Geralt is stone-faced. He gets good enough at chirping and twittering that people don't try to kill Geralt nearly as often as they once did; they're too busy looking at Jaskier to do that.

Sure, sometimes that means they try to kill Jaskier instead, but it hardly ever gets far. Geralt is pretty good at fending people off.

He plays up the human angle when Yennefer's around, the smelly mortal ugliness compared to her divine perfection, the striving weakness compared to her power, the fidelity compared to her flightiness. He can't compete, of course, but he's not going to pass up the opportunity for a little discord.

Jaskier, as long as he's interrupting something, can reliably expect to end the night in a bed, or a haystack, or a closet. Somewhere with someone.

If he's not happy with who he is that night, well...on the Path, there's always another night, another couple. No one but Geralt expects him to be the same person twice.

𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀: 𝐕𝐢𝐜

@sunflowersteves || @sunflowerstevesmain

From one to five stars, how would you rate your writing? (No downplaying yourself!)

3.5 bc I read an old fic the other day and I’ve improved soooooo much but there’s always room for improvement!

2. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works? I feel like I’m really good at requests.

Sometimes I think it’s hard to imagine what someone is asking for, but as a daydreamer I feel like I can visualize it so well. 

3. Are there any writers that inspire you?

Famous authors include Toni Morrison, Stephen King (minus the cocaine💀), and Neil Gaiman. In the server, literally everyone inspires me all the time and is so so supportive. Some mutuals that I so aspire to write like are @moonlightprose, @fushic0re, @darkficsyouneveraskfor, @fluffyprettykitty

4. What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

I would have to say first time (a carmen berzatto x reader) or broken hearts (eddie munson x reader). I think I really capture Carmen and Eddie’s characterization, especially how they would act in a relationship. Also, for sure my best angst. 

5. Which character(s) do you find easiest to write and which do you find most difficult to write?

I’m a hyperfixation girly so the easiest are ones that I’m currently obsessed with (joel, miguel o’hara, etc.) and the most difficult are the ones that I still love but have fallen off the obsession wagon (Steve Rogers, geralt, din djarin, etc.) 

6. Who or what do you find yourself writing about most?

Smut bc I’m a hoe ✨ also it’s been a year and joel miller wont leave my mind, so 

7. Tell us about a WIP you’re excited about!

This has literally been on my WIP for over a year, but it has to be a notting hill AU with Sam wilson. I’ve been excited to write that for ages. 

8. First fandom you ever wrote for?

Marvel. I wrote a spider girl fic when I was in middle school lmao

9. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)? jealousy fics and protective fics,,, yum 

10. A trope you’ll never, ever write for.

Prolly the divorce trope bc I get so mad at characters. 

11. Wildest fic you’ve ever written?

It was a request but eddie munson x reader with a guitar head in the coochie and it was great.

12. Favorite pairing to write for? (platonic or romantic!)

I love poly fics! Love Stucky x reader and steddie x reader are my fav. they’re just so good. 

13. Do you listen to anything while you write?

I usually have to listen to classical or lofi beats bc I’ll get distracted soooo easily. 

14. One-shots or multi-chaptered works?

One shots 

15. Have you ever daydreamed about side adventures/spin-offs from your fic? Tell us about them!

As a certified day dreamer, absolutely. Any longer fic I’ve written, I literally day dream how it’s gonna play out. I did that a lot with ain’t no sunshine (joel miller x reader). 

16. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try?

I am so bad at angst and I would love to write action/violent fics but I always feel like I can’t describe it for the life of me. 

17. What’s the nicest comment you’ve ever received?

Someone commented that they turned my notifications on so that they could see when I posted the fic and that made me giggle and kick my feet. 

18. Have you ever gone outside of your comfort zone for a fic? How did it turn out?

It’s currently a work in progress, but it’s a period smut fic. It’s not necessarily out of my comfort zone but more of I’ve never written a fic like that before. It’s for Miguel. I’m so ready 👀

19. Tooth-rotting fluff or merciless angst?

tooth-rotting fluff 

20. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them!

I do not ❤️ 

21. If you could enter the universe of any one of your fics, which would it be and why?

I would die in literally every sci-fi or fantasy world that I love (star wars, game of thrones, lord of the rings, the last of us, attack on titan, etc.) so I’m gonna have to pick marvel. I’d have a fighting chance. 

22. Is there anything you wish your audience knew about your writing or writing process?

tbh the hardest part for me is starting. Introductions tear me down every time rip. Sometimes, I just start in the middle because it’s so much easier. 

23. Copy and paste an excerpt you’re particularly fond of.

You pause, just for a moment. You could feel the adrenaline kick into your system, and a numbing pain flushed out your senses. The blood felt warm and sticky—prompting the sleepiness to feel calming, and it urged you forward into its safe surroundings. But then you felt it. Panic. Panic rose in your neck as you looked around for someone. Your hand darted out to try and find them, but your mind was starting to become blank from the fuzzy warmth of pain. Joel. You needed Joel. 

24. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

Ok listen, I wanna write so bad. The last fic I wrote was in March and I’m feeling that writing withdraw. My brain needs to get into hyperdrive so my fingers can type all day long. I have so many fics planned

Out in Redania

Almost from the moment they meet, Jaskier proves to be a boy man with no shame and no filter. He talks about sex loudly and often: sex he’s had, sex he wants to have, sex he’s only dreamt about. He strolls along beside Roach, long legs jauntily swinging, gesturing broadly and describing his many conquests in a combination of extravagant praise and raunchy detail that makes Geralt blink hard and shake his head the first few times he hears it. 

Geralt is…well, ’experienced’ would be the kind word. ‘Old’ would be a more blunt choice. Both are accurate. He’s seen and done a lot of things with a lot of people, and it’s hard to shock a witcher, generally. None of the sex acts the bard lovingly and exhaustively describes are really shocking in and of themselves (except perhaps in their frequency and in how many seem to feature married women). 

It’s the way that Jaskier talks about the women he beds that surprises Geralt. Nothing demeaning, or coarse as one might expect from a young man who loves to talk about fucking and has something to prove. No, he talks about each and every one as though he fell at least halfway in love with her, as though each woman was a glorious work of art that he was privileged to enjoy.  

And it isn’t just an act that he put on as part of his cheerful romantic persona, he’s completely genuine about it . Baffling.

He truly turns the full force of his attention toward each and every lover: engaged, attentive, and admiring. Geralt is all too often the object of Jaskier’s overwhelming focus and care when he returns from a hunt injured, so he can only imagine what it must feel like when the bard is actually doing something he enjoys rather than sewing wounds or wiping rancid blood and filth off a reluctant, battered witcher. 

And, of course, he has imagined it. He has eyes and the bard may be annoying, but he’s also annoyingly beautiful.

At first, he rolls his eyes and ignores any hint of his own interest in the fresh-faced boy who trails along after him like an enthusiastic puppy by scowling, growling and avoiding physical contact as often as possible for his own sake as much as for Jaskier’s. The bard is 18 and of age, and he’s certainly bedded whores of 18. This shouldn’t be a problem, but the boy is so cheerfully inept and keeping him alive is somehow so fully Geralt’s problem that it’s impossible to miss that he is, essentially, a child . He’s very pretty to look at, but it’s hard to be attracted to someone who you might as well be babysitting.

After several summers traveling together, though, Geralt looks at him one day and realizes that the naive, excitable boy is gone, replaced by a reasonably competent, sometimes shockingly shrewd, self-possessed, though admittedly, still excitable man. A very good looking man, suddenly broad and leanly muscled from a life on the road, with shining blue eyes and a smile that could stop a man’s heart if wielded irresponsibly. 

Immediately after the realization, Geralt has a bit of a crisis about it and finds some reason for them to part ways quite abruptly for several weeks. 

Because Geralt is also painfully aware of how one-sided his attraction is. Sure, Jaskier is weirdly kind to him and seems to be perpetually horny, but there hasn’t been a hint of interest in return. It’s easy to shove aside his own lust and ignore it without hurt; Jaskier only beds women. 

Until he doesn’t.

Dandelion and Geralt are bisexual but actually the reason gerlion isn't a thing is because Geralt knows he's secretly a loser (…)

#ur tags are so right tho like Geralt knows that man his bardic charms can't beguile HIM

[original post with reply]

@windflowerofskellige exactly — here’s a longer response and analysis because their friendship is so interesting and a whim took me:

knowing dandelion, the last thing geralt would want to be is his lover.

paradoxically, it is geralt’s deep intimacy with dandelion that separates their romantic paths from one another.

just as dandelion sees directly through geralt’s detached and cold alias into his moody and sensitive truth, geralt sees straight through dandelion’s illusions of romance and splendour into his true inner soul of hedonism and selfish debauchery .

he has become so well-aquainted with the real dandelion: lies, lust, lechery, that the illusions he crafts in his poems and ballads proclaiming true love have lost all effect on him, if they ever had any effect to begin with.

geralt is immune to dandelion’s alias, just as dandelion is immune to, his because they share something so deep that they bare their souls to each other on the casual whim of conversation.

the dandelion geralt knows isn’t the one on stage, it’s the one lying next to him on the palliasse, who, after such performances, openly shares his most base desires, boasts of conquests, brags of his own radiance, and counts his women of his week on his fingers, gives unsolicited and terrible commentary on geralt’s own relationships and women. distasteful. repulsive.

yes, geralt is well-aquainted with dandelion, but not the poet; the banal whoremonger, drunkard, and fool. geralt smells no hyacinths and incense, beckoning him in; there’s sweat, beer, and something fried still lingering in the breath…

geralt knows what happens between dandelion’s lovers and him—if one could even bestow such a title upon them!—more like flights of fancy, interest of the week, day, or even the hour or half-hour. it’s a game to him, there is no love in it, nothing between the souls; only lustful maneuvers, primal reflexes and compulsive jerks and spasms of the body. it’s scores to tally in a journal with an insolent smirk on the face, and stories used to brag, to puff up the chest and preen like a bird.

lovers, more like scraps. discarded and forgotten like… the foam at the bottom of a beer stein… the wooden skewer of a kebab with the meat gnawed off… no, there’s no cruelty or sadism in it, the only harm incurred is heartbreak… it’s simply the result of a deep selfishness and nigh-compulsive seeking of pleasure.

geralt would never fall in love with the performance. if he does fall in love, he falls in love with the performer off the stage. when he’s not disguised, made up. when he’s an average man…

geralt would have to fall in love with the reality: an arrogant, buffoonish man, dominated by his own selfishness, hedonism, and simplicity… but this is a simpler task than one may expect. because those qualities neutralize geralt’s own: his selflessness, flagellation, and overcomplication. dandelion is geralt’s exact opposite, and opposites attract. the only thing that can counterbalance geralt’s worst parts are dandelion’s worst parts.

geralt and dandelion’s relationship is not about romance. it is not about falling in love with someone. it is about seeing beneath, into them. it is about staring directly into the depths of someone’s soul, not just seeing but becoming well-acquainted, over-aquainted, constantly rubbing against, their most intolerable and aggravating aspects… and genuinely loving that. it’s about knowing. truth. reality. which isn’t always beautiful—though sometimes, there is beauty in banality.

OMG I just found your blog and damn I'm in love with your writing.

Would it be ok if I asked for some Witcher headcananons?

I would love to have some for Gerald as a father, (but just imagine Ciri didn't exist). So Gerlad found this girl, whose family was killed by a monster, and he took her with him and slowly became her father. So some head cannons about Gerald being a Dad.

I'd appreciate it, sending lots of love your way.

Re.: Hey, THANK YOU SO MUCH! And also thanks for the request, I loved writing it, and hope it's what you wanted.

Headcanons - The Witcher

summary: Geralt as a Father

(added: character art, what they would say to them, or about them)

Father-Daughter Bond: Geralt sees her as his own daughter, and their bond is unbreakable. He may not be the most expressive person, but his love for her is evident in the little things he does. He doesn't hesitate to show his affection through his actions, even if he doesn't always say it out loud.

A Loving Home: The other witchers, initially skeptical of her presence, have all become like uncles to her. Vesemir, in particular, has a soft spot for her and is more like a granddad figure, regaling her with stories of the past.

Protective Dad: Geralt is extremely protective of her. He watches over her like a hawk, especially when they're in unfamiliar places. If he senses any danger, he's quick to position himself between her and the threat, a silent promise that he'll keep her safe.

"I know I can be overprotective, but it's only because I care about you so much. I just want to make sure you're safe and happy." "No matter how old you get, you'll always be my little girl. And I'll always be here to look out for you, no matter what."

Teaching Moments: He takes every opportunity to teach her valuable skills. Whether it's showing her how to properly wield a sword, start a fire, or track a monster, he is patient and thorough in his instruction. He knows that these skills could be essential for her survival one day.

"I've taught her everything I know, but she's taught me even more about what it means to be a father."

Fishing Lessons: One of their favorite pastimes is fishing. Geralt patiently teaches his daughter to fish using her bare hands.

Magic Lessons: Geralt, recognizing her potential, has enlisted the help of Triss or Yennefer to teach his daughter magic.

Nightmares and Comfort: Geralt always knows when she has nightmares, even if she tries to hide them. When she wakes up in a cold sweat, he's there to comfort her. He holds her close, whispering soothing words and stroking her hair until she can fall back asleep, feeling safe in his arms. However, sometimes, words are not necessary. Geralt will sit by her side in silence, offering his comforting presence. His strong, reassuring presence alone is enough to ease her fears.

"Don't ever forget that you can come to me with anything, whether it's a nightmare or a problem you're facing. I'll always be here for you."

Cuddles and Reassurance: Whenever she can't sleep, Geralt lets her rest on his chest. His slow, steady witcher heartbeat acts as a lullaby, calming her nerves. He often murmurs stories of their adventures, reminding her that she's never alone as long as he's around.

Unspoken Understanding: Geralt and his daughter have an unspoken understanding of each other's emotions and needs. They can communicate without words, knowing when the other needs space, comfort, or a listening ear.

Protective Stares: When they're out in public, Geralt's protective instincts kick in. He'll give anyone who looks at her a stern, warning glare, ensuring they keep their distance. She often teases him about being an overprotective dad, but secretly, she appreciates it. However he'll always observe anyone who gets too close to his daughter, especially young men who may be interested in her romantically. He watches them like a hawk and isn't afraid to make his presence known if he feels they're crossing boundaries.

Special Nicknames: Geralt has a soft spot for calling her by special nicknames, like "Little Wolf". These names are his way of showing affection without having to say the words out.

Inside Jokes: They share a ton of inside jokes from their adventures together. These jokes often involve specific monsters, places they've been, or humorous situations they've found themselves in. They can exchange a knowing glance and burst into laughter while others look on in confusion.

For instance, they might exchange a knowing glance and say: "Well, it's not another cursed Djinn, at least."

Grooming Ritual: Just as wolves in a pack groom each other as a sign of care and affection, Geralt has a ritual of carefully checking her equipment, for example ensuring her sword is sharp...

Hugs with Heart: Geralt's hugs may not be frequent, but when he does embrace her, it's full of warmth and love. He squeezes her gently, and it's a silent reassurance that no matter what challenges they face, they'll always have each other. OR It's a strong, one-armed embrace that speaks volumes about his affection and protection.

Nurturing Nature: Geralt may not be the most nurturing person, but when she is feeling unwell or has had a rough day, he surprises her with simple comforts like a warm meal, a cozy blanket, or a soothing cup of tea. He does these things quietly, without drawing attention to them.

Words of Encouragement: Whenever his daughter faces a challenge, Geralt is there to offer words of encouragement. He believes in her abilities and constantly reminds her that she's more than capable of handling whatever comes her way.

"Remember, it's okay to ask for help when you need it. You don't have to carry everything on your own shoulders."

The "Real Daughter" Comment: If anyone were foolish enough to suggest that she isn't his real daughter, Geralt's response would be swift and stern. He'd shut down such remarks with a single cold look and a firm, "She's my daughter, and that's all that matters."

"I've raised her, protected her, and loved her since she was just a frightened child. That makes her my daughter, no matter what anyone says."

The Origin Question: If she were to ask about her origins, Geralt would sit her down and explain the circumstances of how he found her. He'd emphasize that it doesn't matter where she came from; what matters is the family they've become and the love they share.

"You're my family, Little Wolf. Blood doesn't make family; the bonds we forge do." "No matter where life takes you, always know that you have a home here at Kaer Morhen, and you have a family who loves you."

Proud Dad Moments: Geralt is incredibly proud of her talents, whether it's her proficiency in combat or her mastery of magic. He doesn't shy away from expressing his pride when she accomplishes something remarkable, even if it's just a simple, approving nod.

Shared Secrets: They have a few secrets that only they know, like a hidden spot in Kaer Morhen where they go to stargaze.

Hi! If I can ask for another I would love to get 29. pet names from the Soft™ fic prompt meme with Lambert/Aiden, thank you <3 I love your writing 💕

Aaaaw!! Thank you so much!!! And thank you for the prompt!

29 - Pet names. Lambert's pretty sure coming up with a pet name for your ex best friend/ current boyfriend shouldn't be this difficult.

Nobody told Lambert thinking up a suitable pet name was this God's damned difficult. Granted, he wasn’t sure that Aiden was into that sappy shit but Lambert had never had a romantic partner before and he wanted to have at least something to fall back on so he wouldn’t panic and call Aiden something either inappropriate or insulting (looking back, the slap that whore had dealt him that time had been completely justified). He wasn’t overthinking this, he was just trying to be prepared. Shut up.

His family were easy. Either call them what they were, or something that pissed them off. Geralt was “Pretty Boy’ when Lambert wanted to annoy him, same as he was “Lambchop” when Geralt or Eskel wanted to get a rise out of him. Ciri was “Girl” or “Kid”, sometimes “Brat” (affectionate) depending on what mischief she decided to pull that day.

Aiden had been easy too, when they were still just friends and the same rules applied or they'd just call each other increasingly random shit just to see who could make the other laugh first. Now, Lambert wanted something different. Something special just between the two of them – that’s what couples did, right?

He couldn’t exactly just call Aiden “Cat” as that’s what everyone on The Path and everyone else in the Keep used for him (and most of the time that had been intended as an insult until the other Wolves actually got to know him). He’d contemplated just sticking to the classics, but Jaskier had low-key ruined that for him by casually calling everyone some variation of “Love” or “Darling” or “Sweetheart” (or some sickening combination of all three if he was drunk and your name was Geralt), Aiden included.  He sighed as he looked over the sheet of paper in front of him absolutely covered with rejected possibilities (which he must remember to burn later). Alright, so maybe he was overthinking this.

Lambert didn’t bother trying to hide his grin as he continued cleaning the blade of his sword with a soft rag, half of his attention on Aiden. The Cat’s mending lay abandoned as he perched on the edge of his chair, eagerly following the small blob of light reflecting off the blade and onto the wall, his fingers and legs twitching as if he were resisting the urge to pounce, Lambert was pretty sure his pupils were also dilated. He couldn’t resist.

He sniggered to himself as he purposefully jiggled the blade, making the light bounce around erratically.

“Kitten.” Lambert huffed to himself affectionately as he watched Aiden’s whole body weave from side to side trying to track it.

“Hmm? Yeah, Puppy?”

Shit. Of course Lambert would forget now that he wasn’t the only one in the room with enhanced hearing. But then his brain caught up to Aiden’s reply.

“Puppy?”

“Well, it’s only fair if you’re calling me Kitten.” Aiden said with a fond smile. He vacated his own seat and took Lambert’s sword, resting it against the wall before plopping down into the others lap and purring when the Wolf wrapped an arm around his waist, “I won’t if it bothers you though.”

Lambert mulled it over. Everything was screaming at him that he should find it patronising. He just knew that if any of his brothers tried it, they’d be finding themselves nursing at least one bruise. when Aiden said it though...

He shrugged, “I don’t hate it.”

 Aiden’s smile turned slightly predatory, “Want to see how long it takes me to make you whimper like one?”

Lambert didn’t get a chance to answer before Aiden’s mouth was on his, the Cats purrs increasing in volume as Lambert kissed back with a groan.

His Kitten was going to kill him, but what a way to go.

[thelostgirl21]

Me: Jaskier and Radovid are just in their infatuation phase, it's not true love yet...

Google Newsfeed: Here's an article that should interest you...

Me: Alright, let's see what it has to say...

"When you love somebody, you actually begin to consider their needs, not in a 'I want to please you' way, but 'I want what's good for you.' When you love somebody, you are willing to sacrifice things that you may not have been able or willing to sacrifice in another relationship."

She adds that in true love, partners begin to consider and care for each other in the same way they consider themselves.

... becoming deeply curious about them in an "honest and overwhelming" way, and wanting to share parts of oneself with them that haven't been shared with others before.

However, she believes the most important defining factor of true love is that it involves action.

"When you truly love someone, you want to have acts of service, you want to do things that are good for them," Shaw says. "How can you actively show that you love somebody? Usually it's in the things that you do and the way that you speak to them, and being willing to invest and sacrifice and maybe even look at your own personal issues, and being willing to adjust and change in ways that maybe you wouldn't have before."

"Knowing that they have your back and they're always supportive," Edwards says. "And your willingness to be their 'ride-or-die,' your willingness to support them no matter what, no matter what they're going through, no matter how they show up each and every day. The ups and downs and the left and right."

Me: Alright! You win! It's true love! Damnit!

Okay, but seriously though, it's still mostly infatuation, although the foundations to allow said infatuation to naturally evolve towards "true love" are most definitely there.

My partner and I kissed on the 2nd time we saw each other, and said "I love you" on the 3rd (I kid you not)!

Except the first time I told him "I love you", it initially meant "you deeply intrigue me, I feel highly affectionate towards you, care about your happiness and well-being for some reason, and want to further explore that connection between us. I want us to learn to become a team and to rely on each other, if you want it, too, and you're willing to work with me towards that objective."

Now, 17 years into the relationship, it means "I see you as you are, with all your wonderful qualities and quirks, your amazing heart, your vulnerabilities, your annoying little habits, your ability to frustrate me and drive me totally mad sometimes, while at the same time feeling like something would be missing from my life if you didn't. We can bicker and fight, and three seconds later forget the argument ever happened because those fights don't even matter. Because, when things do matter - when the subject is important, we're a team. I've got your back, you've got mine, we try to find solutions without there ever being a "winner" or a "loser", and do our best to protect each other from hurt as much as we can."

And, contrary to popular belief, "true love" isn't restricted to romantic feelings, nor a single person.

Geralt, Jaskier, and Yennefer have pretty much all reached that "ride-or-die" stage together, combined with that unconditional love and acceptance of who they are, and the ability to find happiness in each other's happiness.

They are able to think in terms of "I", of "we two" and of "we as a family".

It's "true love", bitches!

Jaskier and Radovid are well on their way there, given that neither of them seem to expect the other to be perfect, there's a willingness to compromise and find common ground, and desire to listen to, and understand each other.

Even share resources, as Jaskier was quick to offer Radovid access to his Sandpiper network to keep him safe, and Radovid didn't hesitate to suggest using his financial resources and presence to help Jaskier.

The initial attraction is a very loving one that is turning out to be sufficiently grounded in reality to have the potential to become a truly epic love story.

They ask you out and you tell them that you’re more about having a deep close platonic relationship for now than some sexual relationship. That perhaps one day you might trust and like them enough to have an intimate relationship

Jack

Geralt

Ollie

Dick

Jack: "Huh. So... you want to be friends first before you think about... that. Okay. It's not exactly what I'm used to, but... fine. I'm just... I don't really like talking about myself..."

Geralt: "Ah. I see. I must admit, it's not every day someone claims to prefer getting to know a witcher over bedding him, if they speak to him at all. I see I have chosen a rare flower indeed. Alright. I suppose I'll see where this path leads us."

Ollie: "Oh... okay, I can get that. I know I seem like a playboy - no, I am a playboy, but... I think I can understand how you feel. I'm... definitely a sexual-tending guy, but I don't mind building actual rapport first. It's not fun when we're not both having fun. Just... I'm not so great at... opening up. But for you.... I'll try."

Dick: "Oh, thank god." He breathes a deep sigh of relief. "I always feel like I have to rush into things because no one I meet ever seems to actually want to get to know me. Like, sometimes I feel like sex is the entry fee I have to pay to get any sort of emotional intimacy, romantic or platonic. I'm... perfectly fine with staying platonic for now. Maybe we can talk about what that looks like for us?"

I continue to experience unprecedented levels of posting fic. Parts 3 and 4 of Things You Can't Buy:

Reticence

Geraskier mentions of Yenralt

~1.6k, rated G (not archive locked), no archive warnings

Summary:

Later, Jaskier will try to remember every detail of the argument, but in the moment all he knows is that he’s a bit drunk, a bit maudlin, a bit resentful, and Geralt won’t give an inch. — Jaskier processes the events of s01 e05 Bottled Appetites. (This story stands alone and can be read without reading the previous parts of the series)

Push Me Pull Me

Yenralt, background Geraskier, significant not friends not enemies Yennefer and Jaskier interactions

~9k, rated E (archive locked), no archive warnings

Summary:

"Yennefer has heard a lot about what witchers can and can't do. Having met Geralt, she isn't quite sure what she believes. In this particular case it’s irrelevant. Whether witchers can have friends or not, Geralt has Jaskier, and Jaskier has Geralt." — Over the years after their first meeting, Yennefer runs into Jaskier and Geralt quite a few more times. Sometimes together, sometimes apart. She tries to figure out what she wants to do about whatever it is that's between the three of them.

This series is getting a bit longer than I imagined it might.

Initially, I'd just intended to write my own take on canon if Geralt and Jaskier were in a more established (sexual and romantic) relationship. Now, I'm interested in writing some stuff that touches a bit more directly on the canon plotlines, but that might deviate a bit. My intention is that (from a plot perspective at least) any changes I make will curve back to be able to integrate in with the overall arc of canon. Ideally, each story would hold it's own enough that you could jump in or out with each one as you pleased, but I'm not sure if I'm quite skilled enough to pull that off the way I want to.

Anyway, long story short, I have every intention of posting more stuff to this series, which will veer off and re-connect with canon. Future stories will include Yenskier (Yennskier?) and Geraskier and Yenralt but I'm not sure yet if it'll end up with any true OT3, considering how little time they spend all three together in canon. None of that in Push Me Pull Me though. That's a V shape situation with Geralt in the middle.

Ciri and Ava for the ♥ SHIP QUESTIONARE

♥ SHIP QUESTIONARE

Drop a ship in my inbox and I’ll fill everything out below ! It’s a mix from fluff to nsfw .

How did they first meet? --- Ciri stumbled across him when entering Tor Zireael, finding herself in the world of the Aen Elle. Avallac'h was the first person there to greet her, as though he had had been waiting the whole entire time for her to arrive (which he was.)

Who felt romantic feelings first? --- Probably Ava. But eventually Ciri starts developing feelings for him too. She even notes how handsome he is, being the light to Eredin's darkness.

Did either of them try to resist their feelings? --- Both of them did for sure. After all, Ciri is Lara's descendant and Ciri hasn't exactly had a positive romantic relationship that has worked out.

Who initiated their feelings first? --- Ciri! Something gets to her and she just outright blurts it out one day when they both least expect it.

Who said “I love you” first? --- Ciri again because of above.

Who gets jealous easily? --- Both.

Who is more protective? --- Both.

Who remembers the little things? --- Avallac'h because he has a better memory., taking everything to detail.

Who talks about their feelings more? --- More than likely Ciri, but sometimes Ava does.

Who uses the cheesier pickup lines? --- I could see Ciri doing this, but she also tries to avoid it because it's so silly, even for her.

What does a first date look like for them? --- Museum. Bookstore. Traveling to other worlds together to explore them and learn new things and enjoy each others company.

What do they like to do together? --- See above.

Which one gets angry the most, leaving the other to calm them down? --- 100% Ciri. Ava knows how fiery the Elder Blood can be and gives her her time to cool down, but also keeping a close watch on her because, oh yes, she can be reckless at times too. He also knows exactly how to calm her.

Do they like PDA? --- Because of Ciri's rough past concerning others touching her and trying to do things to her she didn't want, it's a sensitive subject for her, but she isn't afraid to give hugs, or kisses and hand-holding. As long as she is initiating it. I think Ava would understand this and be patient with her on it.

What are their big spoon / little spoon arrangements? --- N/A

Does one like the cuddle more than the other? --- I'd say they both like cuddling equally.

Who hogs the blankets? --- Ciri. Sorry Ava.

Who’s more likely to initiate sex? --- Ciri, but just because of her past concerning the subject. She feels safer and comfortable about if she is the one initiating it at the very least instead of being forced into it.

Who’s the kinkiest? --- Ava. He's an elf that's been around for a long while. There is a reason rope was found in his lab...all I'm going to say on the matter there XD.

Who is the top and bottom in their sex life? Are they interchangeable? --- N/A

Who likes giving and who likes receiving oral? --- N/A

Can they last more than one round? --- N/A

Which one is a morning person? --- Ava. Ciri will groan and fight whoever tries to wake her up early.

Do either of them like to cook? --- I think Ava would be a wonderful cook. Ciri doesn't have the patience for that, plus she wasn't brought up doing that kind of thing. Although that isn't saying she won't cook for herself if it came down to it.

If they get married, who proposes first? --- I could honestly see them both proposing to each other.

What kind of wedding do they have? --- Maybe a mix of a traditional elven and human one. Obviously all of Ciri's friends and family are invited. Jaskier is playing the music. Yennefer is trying to keep a leash on Geralt so he doesn't scare our elven sage with thousands of questions and reminders of not hurting Ciri.

Does anyone object to their relationship? --- Geralt, but if it makes Ciri happy then...he will go along with it. For now.

Do they have any kids? --- I can see them having one daughter at the very least. Maybe a second one later on.

Do they have any pets? --- Kelpie, and maybe some other creatures that end up getting "adopted."

character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Eddie, sometimes

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you (Ciri edition)

How I feel about this character:  mostly indifferent. It's complicated.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Cerys, and maaaaaaaybe Cahir because @andordean

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Ciri & Geralt

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't think I have any...

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: That depends on how far you stretch canon. In TW3 (it's canon to me soooo), the game wants you to believe the Witcher ending is the best for Ciri. I think it's not. And I also think the Empress ending is not a bad one.

my het ship: nobody in particular, honestly

my fem/slash ship: Ciri/Cerys, Ciri/Bea

my OTP: oh, I don't have one with Ciri

my OT3: nnnnnooo thanks

my cross over ship: interesting question but... mh no

my kink: with Ciri? uh no

a head cannon fact: in my hc Ciri's always been the matchmaker for Emralt 😂

my gender bend: wha?
