School Picture Day -or- How Livi Came Out To Her Parents
Livi is wearing Dragonfly's leather jacket, because it would have been a shame to cover up that tshirt, but also "awww". The nose ring is fake, just for added shock value for mum and dad.
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.
~Coelho, "The Alchemist"
Have I mentioned how much I adore Lambert's nerdy, experimentation-loving, explosion-prone, alchemist self? The geeky side of his character is such a wonderful juxtaposition with his grouchy gremlin self who begrudgingly fights monsters for a living!
Also, I totally subscribe to the idea that Lam makes potions and bombs for both Aiden and himself, 'cause Aiden is a little bit shit at alchemy. Meanwhile, Aiden takes care of the cooking for them, because he's marvelous at making really tasty meals out of thin pickings (and Lambert has been known to not bother with salt or even cooking his catch all through if left to his own feral devices).
We all know Aiden's Wolf is both a polyglot and really prone to cursing (Aiden would probably phrase it as 'Lam has a very talented tongue' and winking as suggestively as possible while he says it!)

I was inspired a little while back by this post about playing bingo with Witcher ships - there are a bunch of fun tropes common to LambertxAiden on one of the cards! I dunno if I'll make 'bingo' yet, but the idea for this popped into my mind when I looked at the card and I had to draw it!
(I apologize if any of the cursing doesn't make sense - I do not speak nearly as many languages and Lambert theoretically does and thus used a really quick and not-at-all-thorough google search to some up with placeholder text).)
If you were in @inexplicifics Accidental Warlord AU for a day (or several), what would you do?
Because I'm curious and want to know.
I would probably:
Hug as many witchers as possible, especially the ones old enough to be remember the Path before Ard Carraigh
Double especially Eskel, the man works way too damn hard
Have long talks with Vesemir about philosophy of government and society, because I think his take on it would be FASCINATING
Ask Jaskier to teach me "Ode to Witchers" and "Ciri's Goose Trick" plus maybe some other songs
Boop Geralt on the nose. Possibly while hugging him
Bake HUNDREDS of cookies with Julita (and Melina and Zofia if they wanted), then use those cookies to bribe as many witchers as possible into a giant cuddle pile. Possibly in the library for story time and/or with Jaskier for music!
Go pester the Cranes and make stuff with them - maybe kitchen gadgets? (A dough scoop for the literal HUNDREDS OF COOKIES I'll be making with Julita, for example...)
Teach Lambert to swear in classical Latin, assuming he doesn't already know how (also teach him why those words/phrases are so insulting)
Ask Milena to teach me fancy hairstyles. Offer to paint her nails in return!
Rebel Moon isn't bad per se but it was very much Avatar the movie when it would have been better as Avatar the TV show and at a minimum given each character an episode to establish themselves and given the team time to travel together and bond and, I don't know, actually have some lines outside of their initial introduction.
“I tried to match a short length haori and a leather skirt with a kimono! I like the fact that the short haori gives a long leg effect, and I also like the decoration around the abdomen and the fluttering of the skirt that can be shown without hiding it …!”
