Pairing: geralt x eskel Warning(s): talk of virginity/loss of virginity Rating: explicit

Summary:  Geralt’s lack of sex life has never been a problem before, but when he and Eskel are hunting a monster that seems to be taking virgins, he knows he’ll have to take it on alone to keep Eskel out of harm’s way. Eskel has other ideas.

Happy birthday @chaypin!! I hope you had a wonderful day, darling and I hope you enjoy this ❤ 

sorry this is so late! I wanted to give it a title, but nothing is coming to me 

There is… something outside of Velen killing people. Even all the way up in Kaedwen people are talking about it and when Eskel had suggested they check it out, Geralt had been glad for any excuse not to part with him quite yet. He’s always had complicated feelings for Eskel, ones he knows can never be reciprocated, so he keeps them to himself but takes any opportunity to spend more time with him.

But he knows there is a limit, knows Eskel’s kindness only goes so far and even if it did extend to something more than platonic or familial, Geralt can never give him what he wants. They don’t get much time to themselves these days, just the few months over the winter where they can relax, so even a hunt for an unnamed, unknown creature is as good an excuse as any. Part of him feels guilty for it, for lying to Eskel, for clinging to any reason to spend more time with him. He knows it’s what Lambert did to both of them as a kid and they both hated it, but Geralt can’t stop himself.

Because Eskel is strong and kind and handsome and Geralt has been enamoured since day one.

So now he’s making his way into Velen blindly searching out something that’s seemingly killing indiscriminately just for the chance to spend another few days with him. Which is, when he puts it plainly, quite ridiculous. At least he has the monster hunter facade to hide behind this time.

The first few people they speak to are unwilling to help despite the fact that it was their family members who were taken. They’re stubborn or afraid and while Eskel has the patience to thank them nicely, Geralt is frustrated. Most of the people taken have been young so at first, they thought it was taking children, which would have made it fairly easy to place, but the more they look into it, the more varied the ages turn out to be. By Eskel’s notes, anyone between three years old and eighty-two has been taken.

So they have to try again. But the next day, they speak to the other residents of the town: farmers, bakers, the keeper of the small shop. They’re more open than the others, if only just, but from them Geralt and Eskel discover a little bit more about the victims. One of them was an unmarried man, happy enough to live on his own with his chickens and sell eggs at the market. Another, a young woman, widowed on her wedding night in a terrible accident. A few children. There still doesn’t seem to be any connection between them and Geralt is frustrated.

Baby (I Want To)

For @chaypin​, happy birthday, dear! Hope it’s been a good one!

Summary: Regis asks Geralt to take care of a higher vampire days before Eskel is supposed to arrive at Corvo Bianco. Eskel arrives early. Nothing goes to plan.

Pairing: Geralt/Eskel (Background Geralt/Jaskier/Yen) Rating: Explicit Warnings: sex pollen, smut, Geralt-typical lack of communication, dubious consent (re: sex pollen)

Read on Ao3

Geralt doesn’t expect to get a house call from Regis before Eskel is supposed to arrive, asking him to deal with a rather problematic higher vampire. He’s not in best form anymore, but he’s never one to turn down a contract, especially one that’s directly affecting the little community he’s come to think of as his own.

“I’ll look into it, Regis,” he assures, and Regis nods, looking regretful.

“Whatever course you have to take, Geralt,” he says, “even if that means you can’t convince them to move on.” Geralt simply nods back.

“I will.”

“And be safe. We worry about you, you know.” At that Geralt smiles.

“I know, old friend. I’ll stop by when it’s done.”

—–

He turns immediately to preparing, donning his armor and stocking his potion pouch. He should still have a few days before Eskel arrives, probably. His letter had been post marked a little over a month ago from up near Vizima. It should take at least another few weeks, even if he’s traveling fast.

He’s not sure why it’s so important he has this taken care of before Eskel arrives. Or, well, that’s not entirely true. He does know.He just doesn’t want his brother to think he’s not relaxing down here, not enjoying his well-earned retirement. And he…maybe wants to show off. Just a little. Old habits die hard, after all.

So he’s hoping to be there and back before Eskel arrives, betting on the letter having been delivered early through favorable weather and traveling conditions. What he doesn’t consider is the same conditions to get the letter here weeks early would have sped Eskel’s travel as well.

He meets him on the road, just outside Corvo Bianco.

“Geralt,” Eskel greets as his horse Scorpion trots up, throwing his head in delight at seeing Roach, who promptly stops and whirls to meet him, huffing her own delight, “didn’t realize I’d be getting a greeting at the gate. Don’t tell me you’ve been waiting out here since you got my letter.” He’s teasing, Geralt knows, but he can still feel the hot flush climbing his cheeks in response.

“Taking care of a contract for some locals. I’ll be back, you can–”

“Come with you, yes?” Eskel cuts in, giving him a grin, and Geralt’s weak.

“I suppose,” he says, “but you’re supposed to be on vacation.”

“And you’re supposed to be retired,” Eskel fires back, letting Scorpion fall into step with Roach as they make their way down the road to the old estate home the vampire had last been seen at, “so what are we hunting?”

“Higher vampire,” he sighs, “they’ve been killing indiscriminately. Regis has spoken to them about it, but to no effect, so–” he shrugs.

“So bring in the cavalry,” Eskel supplies, nodding, “alright. We’ll see what we can do.”

Of Witchers Past

For @chaypin who loves Romantic poetry. Inspired by Percy Shelley's Ozymandias.

@continentcakeshop

I met a witcher from an unknown guild

Who said an ancient crumbling Elven keep

Sits in the mountains. Nearby, in the hills,

Grown o'er, their tattered armour lies. O weep!

These men and boys--no names do mark their graves

That gave to us no less than their own lives

In sacrifice; indeed, we are but knaves

That bade them bleed so we may yet survive.

A glint of silver yet the sun will catch

In Spring; sharp sentinels driv'n deep

And standing proud in earth to yet o'erwatch

Their owners' graves whilst finally they sleep.

"If you do walk in those cold hills," he said,

"Bring offerings and penance for the dead."

Thank you for the tag @petrificustotaluss! And ditto about the whump 👀

1. I’m about five foot six, and usually wear timbs which bumps me up a little extra! 2. When I was a teenager, I briefly met Brian May which is probably the coolest thing that’ll ever happen to me. The interaction was literally just me, panicking, offering him cocktail weenies. I think the intensity of my weenie offering might have freaked him out a little lmao 3. I have almost the entirety of Hamlet’s “To be, or not to be” soliloquy memorized, and won a class jeopardy game because of it. 4. I once did such a bad Kermit impression, I lost my voice for a full day afterward. 5. I’m a massive Romantic poet nerd- in my degree I managed to shoehorn them into at least one assignment per class. If I figure out how to combine Witcher and Shelley it’s all over for you all- I’ll be insufferable >:)

No pressure at all, but if you’d like to I’m tagging @artlark, @itsrapsodia, @witcher-and-his-bard, @writinglizards - or anyone else who’d like to share too! :)

get to know your mutuals!! when you get this, it means i want to know more about you, so list 5 things about yourself you want your followers to know. they can be as simple as your age or as complex as your deepest fear, as long as it’s something you’re comfortable with sharing.

Thanks for tagging me @kitcatkim 💜🌻 (I’m starting a new thing bc the other one was already so long)

About a year ago, I found a dog in the woods, befriended him and brought him back to his owner. I still hold out hope of seeing the dog again one day

When I was 16 I almost signed a contract with a rapper (like, one who actually makes money with that) that I would sing, write/record songs and perform on stage with him

I really don’t like rap

I get weirded out when people call me by my name. It’s not that I dislike my name, but I’m just really taken aback when someone actually uses it (I actually prefer it when people mispronounce my name)

I currently have a one-sided enemies-to-friends thing going on with someone. And I’m afraid the other person thinks it’s more like a friends-to-lovers thing. The whole thing is ridiculous. It feels like I’m in a soap opera (if anyone cares, I’m always happy elaborate :D)

Rawr's Recs A Rec List for the Witcher

I've been asked quite a few times now about "getting into the fandom" and "where to start", particularly around rarepairs. So, this is a long time coming, really. A disclaimer: this will update quite regularly, usually as a result of "oh fuck, how could I forget XYZ, they're effin' brilliant!" I get around, you see. *wink*

Authors

A quick note on my likes! I love rarepairs, and I mainly write/read about the Witchers in all combinations. If someone is on here, they write what I love, but they probably write lots of other things too.
