Tomorrow May Be Gone Chapter 2

Chapter 2 is up! I adore the hints of Fringilla and Cahir's relationship that I was able to drop in this chapter. I really love their dynamic and I could natter on about it endlessly. I definitely need to write more with those two and the wonderful evolution they have unwilling and forced to work together allies and rivals to Cahir quite literally trying to cover Fringilla with his body during the Siege of Aretuza. Despite her being a mage who can project her own personal shield. Look, he's pretty but he's not very smart. 🤣

I did the math, there are 675 fics with Cahir in them on A03 you’ve written 89 of them you account for 13.2% of all the Cahir fics

Oh, really? Ups, I never checked, thanks for the numbers 😘! I find the number of Cahir fics (especially the ones where he's not a minor side character mentioned by name only in the tags or just the evil torture master who kidnaps poor Jaskier, tortures and abuses him and is then killed by a vengeful Geralt) is far, far, far too small. That's why I started writing fanfics again after not doing it for years. Nice I could up the numbers a little 😊

A Touch of Cinnamon | Gallatin x Cahir, 1/? | Roommates AU | NC-17

“Does it hurt a lot?” Cahir’s voice was soft, almost concerned, and Gallatin’s eyes momentarily shifted to look back at him. It didn’t help that his roommate was gorgeous. Too fucking pretty, almost. With big, pretty gray eyes, and small freckles on his nose. Who was slightly taller than him. Smelled real good, too; probably had just showered a while ago. It was hard not to blush, especially when their eyes met and Cahir’s hands were still cradling Gallatin’s face. Like it actually meant something. Gallatin averted his eyes and chuckled, softly. “No, not really.” Hoping his blush didn’t show. “Could be worse.” Things could definitely be much worse for him and yet somehow, they still were. read on ao3

got in the mood of doing some Cahir - centric headcanons - so here they are!

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

I think of him as being on the aromantic spectrum, maybe even asexual.

It’s solely based on the scenes in Toussaint from Lady of the Lake. Especially the feast scene where he’s being surrounded by horny noble women and how he’s basically “please someone help me!”

It’s described in the books that he speaks the common language well but with an obvious nilfgaardian accent. This obviously means that he’s bilingual and as a bilingual myself, I can’t unsee him fucking up the grammar or mixing shit whenever he’s tired or stressed bc I do that too.

He’s also one of the few people who gets “accepted” by the grand imperial cat - Veta herself.

Like he would 100% be a master at “giving scritches” and she would seek him out specifically whenever he was in the imperial palace!

The same thing goes for Assire’s cat, Merlin. Cahir is the complete opposite of a witcher; he’s a living cat magnet.

Besides being the cat magnet, he also has a gigantic problem with mosquitoes. Those buggers love to bite him.

[faetxlity]

predictably I come here to prompt more Emhyr/Cahir *elmofiregif* with "i like being close to you. you’re warm." or "are you wearing my shirt?" because i can't decide lol

One "i like being close to you. you’re warm." coming right under the cut

Cahir rolled onto his side, seeking out Emhyr’s hand to clasp in his own.

“Needy, aren’t you?” Emhyr teased, slipping his hand down Cahir’s back to the swell of his cheeks.

Cahir shrugged “I like being close to you. You’re warm.” As though to prove his words he threw a leg over top Emhyr’s and settled over the Emperor’s chest. “I like you.” He admitted, rolling his hips into Emhyr’s thigh.

“Good,” came the reply, “because I very much enjoy your company as well.”

Hi! This is my first time sending you an ask bc I'm so shy, but I'm a huge fan of all your work! And it's so amazing to see a new AWAU part! Thank you so much for writing and sharing this incredible piece of art with us!

What I wanted to ask is, since you've introduced our boy Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Ceallach with his full name and everything (like he himself did, every other scene even though everyone had heard that introduction about 10 times already), are you basing Cahir's characterization more on his book counterpart or on the Netflix series?

And if you base him on the books, could that mean that perhaps in the future we might see more of Geralt's Hansa? Like Milva and Regis and Angouleme? (Angouleme and Ciri would be instant besties) Geralt with his Hansa in the AWAU would be so fun to see! And I think the Baptism Of Fire fish soup scene with AWAU Geralt would be so wholesome and also immensely funny XD

Regardless of your plans for the future though, I am absolutely frothing at the mouth to get the chance to read more of your work as always! Thank you so much for continuing to feed us so well over multiple years!

I must admit that as with many things, I am basing my characterizations on fandom osmosis, as I have still never read, watched, or played any of the canons.

That said, I would love to get Regis into Kaer Morhen - the shenanigans would be amazing - and if I can arrange for the Progress to happen across Angouleme, after I've done some research, I may well do so!

I'm so glad you like my fic!

WHELP. I just had the most awful, evil fic idea brainrot set in for a fandom I never even thought I'd be interested in writing in because my interest is barely passing at best.

But a Witcher S3 groundhog's day fic where Cahir has to keep reliving the day he brings Gallatin in front of Emhyr and is told to kill him. So he keeps having to kill him and desperately trying to find his way out of the time loop until he finally does break it.

And it's just...so fucking evil I cannot believe I am going to inflict this on this poor man. But omg I want to write it and am cackling like the angst goblin I am all the while plotting out how just twist the knife a little bit more.

It will have a semi-happy ending and I ship the fuck out of the two of them so it'll end up as a minor ship fic I believe.

IDEK where this plot bunny came from. But I'm gonna write it.

[DO NOT REPOST OR REUSE WITHOUT LEGAL AND EXPLICIT AUTHORIZATION]

I’m not gonna lie, Cahir’s character broke my heart through the whole series. At first, like everyone else, I thought he was a regular prick (like, you know, there’s always worse in those books), and then, THEN, my boy went through his redemption arc like it was the Olympics?? Bro who gave you the right to be this good? Even if his end is kind of bittersweet, with his ultimate redemption of saving Ciri while we knew he was going to die, I deeply admire the writing of Cahir. The very slight inspiration from the models of fallen angels in art history is fitting for his tragic, betrayed and redemptive character.

(Feel free to ignore!!) Reader is working at court (maybe a cartographer or something) who has worked with Cahir before he was sent away to these raiding parties. Both tried to remain professional (feelings? They? Love is for children) but when he returns, Reader is the one who goes & finds him? Fluff-ish? (You can take it in any direction you‘d like. Your work is fantastic!!! Thanks so much for carrying the Cahir fans on your back. By yourself)

ahhh thank you so much love!! i hope more people start writing for him i think there's only like three or four of us!!! hope you like this one :)

You refused to look up at the intelligence officer as you continued to erase from your draft.

“Where to this time?” you ask, scrubbing the northern part of the Yaruga river from the landscape.

“Thanedd,” he says, his voice just barely above whisper. 

“Thanedd?!” you lose your composure, looking up at him a moment before grounding yourself. 

“Thanedd is having a lot a visitors lately.”

He only hums, not at all buying your nonchalance.

“Thanedd it is,” you muse, sorting through your folders for a suitable map that isn’t too well used to hand to him. You pass several until you find your own personal map of the island, like you always do for him. It’s easy to find and you pull it and toll it and pass it to his hand, all without making eye contact. You ignore the warmth that floods your hand when his fingers graze yours. 

“Thank you, darling,” he says, the closest thing to an affirmation you’ve gotten from him, yet so much more bold than anything you’ve said or done. Nilfgaardian courts aren’t exactly the safest place to be, especially when your position in it is so precarious. Other cartographers could easily be better trained, better trusted, but Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Ceallach vouched for you specifically and you weren’t about to destroy you credibility for falling for the officer. 

He leaves without lingering though, sparing you from doing something foolish.

The interaction is something you can banish from for only two days, however, because then you start to hear whispers on your way to the new stronghold in Cintra. Whispers of the mages all coming together, whispers of the elves and their army as well… 

It feels bad, a pit sinking in your stomach as your riding party starts to ride ahead of you as you slow your horse without even thinking of why. 

Thanedd really isn’t that far from here, maybe an eight hours ride…

And Cahir has your personal map of the island. He’s the safest he could possibly be unless the worst happens. 

Knowing Cahir and his luck lately the worst will happen, you think to yourself, pulling on your horses reigns. 

Fuck it, you think, and then you let your horse and your heart lead instead of your brain. 

You come upon a field haggard and tired, your horse just the same, to a landscape reeking of blood and smoke; a scent that hadn’t filled your nose in quite some time. A Nilfgaardian soldier alone and elves closing in on him. The events must have gone worst than you thought if there is fighting even out here, on a part of the island rarely gone to, you think. You put two and two together easily. It’s not that you give out maps that are incorrect, just, you only give out ones with the relevant information. You save the complete ones to draw upon and make pretty as a personal art project. Like the one you handed Cahir before he left that would definitely have this side of the island detailed out. 

Fuck.

“Hey! Hey, stop!” you shout, all while urging your horse on despite its own fatigue. The elves stop in their advance, but do not retreat, and you can finally confirm your instinct that is is Cahir. He looks shell shocked, without his weapons and without his helmet. When his gaze meets you his eyes are wild and sad, not the serious and sometimes flirty man you knew. 

“You… you came,” he calls out to you, and you dismount your horse quickly to rush to him.

“Stupid man! I had to,” you yell, not hiding the fear or anger from your voice, but then you soften, your hands finally placing themselves on his armor. He’s here, he’s not dead yet. You both might be soon. Why not throw all practicality into the wind if you may be executed by the elves on horseback mere feet away? 

“I needed my map back.”

“I was always going to return it,” he assures you, his arms rising to brace your own. 

“No you weren’t,” you insist as the elves close in, Cahir once their commander now lost all faith in him. 

“I was,” he insists, and surges forward to kiss you. It’s like time stops, and everything in your life and on this continent falls into place for just a moment; his lips on yours and clear skies painting the future. 

And then you’re ripped apart from one another by the elves. 

You don’t resist.

Intro Post Is Here

I promised myself I would make an intro post with my fic list when I hit a followers milestone, and lo and behold, the time has come to make good on that promise. 

(Breathe in. You got this, Dor. Ok, here we go.)

Welcome, friends. If you followed me sometime in the last year and a half, here’s a funny story for you: I used to write Witcher fics (a lot even, at one point) (and I pray I will write again, though at the moment brain be words what no speaky English). (But I digress.)

What you can find on my blog: shitposting, sarcasm, salt—and Ciri. A lot of Ciri. (Often tagged as: "brat <3". No reason.) Also, many Ciri pairings. We support most Ciri pairings in this house.

What you can find on my AO3: Also a lot of Ciri in different pairings, or sometimes in multiple pairings, as (a) I am a multishipper and (b) Ciri is bi and can do no wrong and (c) has two hands and a hatred for cages and also (d) poly/open relationships are the new love triangles and we need more of them, actually.

Specifically:

"Blood Ties" verse, aka Queen of Cintra verse (aka mammoth), or a 100k words novel in three parts about what happens if neither witchering nor ruling the empire (nor dying, I guess) fully satisfies our girl's ambitions. (Answer: let’s go and shake up the geopolitical landscape of the post-TW3 Continent, reclaim your throne, piss off Dijkstra in the process, make new allies and enemies both, grow and heal, get what you wanted, find indulgence, and also love. Ships aplenty, including some nobody else thought of. Just saying.)

"Broken Pieces" verse, or what happens if Cahir survives, but somewhat fails to move on (he tries), and Ciri fails to be indifferent (she also tries). (Answer: witchering shenanigans, but also some family reunions, Ceallach being a Smart Cookie, Geralt being the Daddest Dad, Ciri being a brat, but also right, but also needing a reality check and to get her head out of her ass. Spoiler alert: happy/bittersweet ending. It’s Witcher-verse, after all.)

"Splinters" verse, or what happens when the author develops a brainrot. (Answer: modern!AU with the main theme being: everyone is thirsty for Cahir/Eamon’s hands. Banter, pinning, thirst, smut, and more banter. Past that comes back to bite everyone in the ass, heartbreak, and a happy ending. Always a happy ending. And Angouleme being the Best Gremlin.)

“The Ghost of You”, or what happens when Ciri gets Ideas, and tries to use Cahir to get what she wants. (Formerly known as the Cancel WIP. Mind the tags with this one; set during LotL, unhealthy coping mechanisms aplenty, trauma and PTSD galore, leading to the first steps of healing. It’s always, always about healing with these two.)

“Sing To Me In The Dark”, or what happens if Cahir finds himself in Kaer Morhen to help defend it from the Hunt. (Answer: the author wants to know too. Although the author mostly knows, but brain no speaky English, see above.)

“Hunter’s Moon”, or what happened in Beauclair during the hansa stay there, from the point of view of a certain succubus. (Answer: a certain vampire attempting to be a smartass, not always succeeding; smut and banter, and more smut. Also, a heartbreak.)

If you like any of the above and tell me about it, chances are I’ll be making you a birthday gift the following year.

In the meantime, enjoy the shitposting, the salt, the sarcasm—and Ciri.

Cahir wants to come home. He has three days to prove it. If only the cost wasn't so high. If only Gallatin could be enough for him.

-or-

Instead of going through with the plan immediately, Cahir waffles around for a few days in the Niflgaardian palace trying to decide if killing Gallatin is worth what's promised. It's not.
