Summary: Jaskier's daughter is about to marry the love of her life, and she decides she wants both her parents at her wedding. Only problem is that Jaskier has slept with a little too many people in his youth, so the identity of the other parent is a mystery. That does not stop the bride-to-be from inviting three potential daddy candidates and unleashing absolute chaos in the process.

Otherwise known as Jaskier's terrible horrible no good past decisions leading to terrible horrible no good outcomes. Also known as the Mamma Mia! AU nobody asked for, but I wrote it anyway.

Author's notes: It's time for some crack!!!!! What do you get when you have canonically slutty Jaskier, and add Bambi being a multishipper who loves chaos? That's right, you get a Mamma Mia!AU !! I'm planning on using the plot of the first movie pretty loosely. As in, I will probably not do scene-to -scene recreations, but take advantage of the general idea and the setting!

Feedback is super appreciated!!! Let's get the party started!

Read on Ao3

“I can’t believe this day has come.”

“Papa, it’s not my wedding yet. I’m just trying on dresses, remember?”

“Still,” Jaskier smiled, blinking against the sentimental tears in his eyes, “my child is getting married. She’s picking out her wedding dress, how am I supposed to cope with this?”

Amaryllis cooed and leaned up to kiss her father on the cheek. Jaskier immediately wound his arms around her, enveloping her in a crushing hug.

“You promised no crying until the ceremony,” Amaryllis reminded him. Jaskier chuckled against her hair.

“I’m failing, obviously.”

But who could blame him, Jaskier mused as Amaryllis finally managed to pull away. He let his daughter take his hand and lead him inside the saloon, her steps happy and prancing, so adorably enthusiastic. Amaryllis was his only child, his baby, his light in this world. Of course, he would become emotional (over and over again) over the fact she was soon to be a married woman. Amaryllis’s fiancée, well, soon-to-be-wife, Sara, was the sweetest thing. Jaskier loved and trusted her, but that didn’t mean he didn’t worry. He always did: he was a parent, that was what he was supposed to do. His child was facing a huge milestone in her life. Jaskier was filled with fear, hope, and a tremendous amount of pride at the same time. He was just overflowing with emotions, and they manifested in constant weeping, apparently.

He decided to try and shut off the waterworks at least while they introduced themselves to the seller. She was a cheerful middle-aged lady named Kate, who heartily congratulated Amaryllis on her upcoming marriage, then she gave a sympathetic hug to Jaskier as well.

“It’s a huge thing, one of the biggest days in our lives,” Kate chirped as she led them further inside the saloon. “Therefore, it has to be perfect. Any ideas on your dream dress, dear?”

“Not sure,” Amaryllis admitted. She still held onto Jaskier’s hand as she looked over the numerous racks and shelves. “My fiancée will have a strapless dress, and it would be nice to match with her, but I think sleeves are more my style?”

“You should pick whatever you’d feel comfortable in,” Jaskier reminded her softly. “You will look beautiful in everything, anyway.”

Amaryllis gave him a bright smile and a squeeze to his hand before she followed Kate into the jungle of dresses. Jaskier raked his eyes around with a sigh. Fluffy dresses and sleek suits hanged everywhere from floor to ceiling, in every shape and every size. They all looked so pretty. Jaskier’s chest tightened for a second before he decided to look away and check on his daughter instead.

Amaryllis was an absolute dream to shop with. Instead of turning into the stereotypical “bridezilla”, she was calm and collected, listening intently to everything Kate told her. Jaskier was immensely proud of her. He also knew that if he were in this situation, he would probably break down five minutes in.

While Amaryllis disappeared inside the fitting room to try on a couple dresses, Kate approached Jaskier with a smile.

“Beautiful girl,” she told him earnestly. Jaskier grinned, proudly puffing his chest out.

“Thank you.”

“Yours, right? I can tell by the eyes. Same set of beautiful baby blues.”

“Ah, you’re so kind. Yes, she’s my daughter.”

“Are you planning a big wedding?”

“Not that big. More people on her fiancée’s side.”

Saying that out loud tasted bitter on Jaskier’s tongue. He wished he could give his daughter an epic ceremony, but unfortunately, he wasn’t on good terms with his family. His parents divorced while he was still a child, and he has only rarely seen his father after that. He’s always had a stormy relationship with his mother as well. She was a very strict, traditional woman, whose pride was greatly hurt when her husband left her. That was probably why she got so angry when Jaskier told her at the ripe age of twenty-one that he has gotten pregnant and had no clue from who. She wanted Jaskier to fulfill that idyllic family picture that she did not manage, and seeing her own child fail at it, too, caused her to cut ties with him. The only relative that Jaskier could count on was his aunt, the only person who has supported him after he ended up alone, pregnant, and scared out of his mind. Her death devastated Jaskier, especially because she didn’t get to see Amaryllis’s birth. She has left his beloved nephew a lovely gift, though, the Dandelion Inn. Jaskier has spent most of his childhood on the small island his aunt lived at, and he really enjoyed staying over at the Inn, even when he was an adult. It was a friendly, warm little motel that felt more like his home than his actual house. He has also met his two best friends there, who have helped him through many hardships.

Jaskier now lived on the island with his daughter and managed the Dandelion Inn. It was idyllic in many ways, and not very idyllic in other ways. Jaskier knew that an unbonded, mate-less Omega would always be the hot topic of every gossip, especially one that got pregnant so young. He has gotten better at handling the acidic insults, but he wished he could have protected his daughter against them, and he wished he could have provided her with the big, happy family that she deserved.

He quickly waved away the sad memories as Amaryllis exited the fitting room. Jaskier gasped and clutched a hand over his heart, willing himself not to tear up again. As expected, Amaryllis looked beautiful in her mermaid- style dress. Her smile shone brighter than the gemstones on the hem when she twirled around.

“My God, you look beautiful,” Jaskier whispered in awe. Amaryllis ducked her head with a shy grin.

“I like it. I think I’m gonna try the high-low dress, too.”

She tried on four more dresses, and Jaskier told her she looked gorgeous in every single one of them. Amaryllis groaned as she plopped down next to him on a pouf.

“You always say I look beautiful in everything, Papa.”

“But that’s the truth! No matter what you’ll pick, you’ll be the most beautiful bride.”

Kate disappeared to find some accessories to go with the dresses. Amaryllis waited until she was out of sight, then she turned to Jaskier with a look that indicated she was about to say or ask something potentially uncomfortable. Jaskier knew that look too well. It was the same, head ducked down, nose twitching, jaw slightly wobbling face she gave him when she told him she accidentally broke his acoustic guitar, and when she presented as an Omega and had to ask her father about the birds and the bees. Jaskier braced himself with a sigh, and a free cupcake that he retrieved from the tray next to him.

“I was thinking about checking out the suits, too,” Amaryllis started, choosing her words obviously carefully. “But then I was like, I’d rather have a dress. It’s traditional, and I know we’re both free spirits, but I think I’d like a really traditional wedding, you know? An Omega girl in a big fluffy dress, her Omega father weeping into his tissue in the front row…”

“Hey, I won’t cry in the front row,” Jaskier objected with a huff, “I’ll cry while walking you down the aisle.”

Amaryllis cleared her throat. She fiddled with the tulle on her dress. The clock on the wall ticked loudly in the silence. Jaskier didn’t even dare to breathe.

“What’s wrong, honey?” He asked, scooting closer to her on the pouf. “I feel like you’re trying to tell me something.”

“Well,” Amaryllis squeaked, avoiding Jaskier’s eyes, “iwantmyotherparenttowalkmedowntheaisle.”

Jaskier blinked in utter confusion. Amaryllis turned an alarmingly bright red, which was only accentuated by her snow-white dress.

“What… what was that?”

“Papa.”

“You said it so fast I couldn’t make out a single word!”

“God,” Amaryllis sighed, grinding her teeth in embarrassment, “don’t be angry! Just… I… I said that I want my other father, or mother, I don’t know? To… to walk me down the aisle… you know, all traditional…”

Jaskier was very glad he was already sitting, otherwise he would have probably collapsed on the floor. He waited for Amaryllis to reveal it was just a joke. For several, uncomfortable moments, Amaryllis stared at Jaskier, chewing on her lip. Jaskier stared right back, his brain drawing a complete blank page.

“Honey…” Jaskier squeaked out, “you know exactly I don’t know who that is.”

“But, maybe there’s a chance we could find them?” Amaryllis asked hopefully. “I was thinking a lot about this, lately. I would be really happy if we managed to find out who it is, so they could be there, too. I don’t know… maybe you still have some phone numbers? A hunch? Anything? It’s just… it would be nice.”

Jaskier let out a deep sigh. It’s been literal years since Amaryllis has brought up this subject. With each passing year, as she has gotten older, it has gotten easier to explain: it was the worst when she was still a little child, not understanding why everyone had two parents while she only had her Papa. It was even worse with her overhearing all those nasty gossips about how Jaskier was such a lowlife Omega, sleeping with everyone and having bastard children. When she was a little older, Jaskier could give her a vague explanation on how her other parent left, and how they were unfortunately not coming back. Amaryllis was already a teenager when Jaskier eventually revealed the truth that he had absolutely no idea who the other parent was. He didn’t give her all the details about how he was definitely enjoying his youth. He was a pretty hedonistic young Omega who gladly shared his heats and non-heats with many, many… many people. He didn’t tell her about his short-lived, heartbreaking romances and everlasting loves that only lasted for about a week. She was a smart child, she managed to put the pieces together anyway.

So, Amaryllis stopped pushing for an answer a long time ago, accepting the explanation that Jaskier didn’t know. It felt like a bucket of icy water was poured straight over his head when she, twenty years old and ready to get married, brought this up again.

“Look,” Jaskier told her softly, reaching for her hand, “I know this is going to be your big day, and trust me, I would give my left arm to make sure everything could go exactly as you wanted, including a full set of parents if that’s what would make you happy, but unfortunately… I can’t give you that. I’m sorry.”

“Hey,” Amaryllis squeezed his hand gently, “I didn’t say that to make you feel guilty. This isn’t your fault. I just… I guess I reminisced a little, and I daydreamed a little, and… when I imagine my big day… I see someone else there. With you.”

“Well,” Jaskier forced a grin onto his face, deciding to hide the sudden pain that flared up inside him with humor, like so many times before- the only way he managed to survive the heartbreak, the loneliness and the hopelessness he has felt through his life. That was the only way he could get through the pregnancy alone, that he could get through raising a child alone. The only way he could protect Amaryllis from feeling that pain.

“It seems like you’ll have to make do with your old, single father.”

“You’re not old,” Amaryllis reminded him with a laugh. “You had me when you were about my age. You’re still rockin’ and you’re still smokin’.”

“Such flattery. I assume the dress you want is really expensive, then?”

Amaryllis laughed and gave him a tight hug. Jaskier hid his face in her neck so she couldn’t see the way his smile faded.

Kate returned with the accessories amidst many apologies for going away for so long. She took Amaryllis with her again to try the jewelry with the dress so they could settle for the best option. There was an uncomfortable, churning sensation inside Jaskier’s stomach when he was left alone.

The last thing he expected was this. The idea that Amaryllis has been thinking about this again, that she might have felt sad over not having her other parent there shattered Jaskier. He never wanted to see his daughter sad, especially because of him. And sure, Amaryllis assured him it wasn’t his fault, but it kinda was, wasn’t it? If he wasn’t such a slut, sleeping with everyone who caught his fancy, this wouldn’t have happened. He could have committed to an actual relationship, bonded with a nice Alpha or Beta or maybe even another Omega, could have gotten married, and now Amaryllis would have a beautiful wedding with all her family there, because if Jaskier did that, his mother wouldn’t have disowned him, either. All he had to offer his daughter was his stupid self, a tiny inn, and a herd of goats that he also inherited from his aunt.

He looked into the golden-framed mirror on the wall and sighed at his reflection. He looked younger than his age, something he was very proud of, but when he looked closer, into his own eyes, he’s seen the burden of leaving his careless youth behind.

He spotted a veil on the hanger by the mirror. The ache in his chest amplified. He turned around, quickly checking that no one saw him, then he took the veil off the hanger. He turned it around in his hand, running his fingers over the thin lace. It felt heavy like lead as he put it on his head and checked his reflection again.

You could have had this, a voice inside his head that sounded suspiciously like his mother reminded him, if you weren’t such a loose, immoral Omega.

Jaskier cursed and took the veil off, putting it back on the hanger as quickly as he managed. No, he would not let his guilt consume him. He needed to be strong for his daughter. This was about Amaryllis and her beautiful future, not about him and his tragic past.

Jaskier could only hope Amaryllis would forget about her mysterious other parent.

its that time of year thats exciting exclusively for me. fanfic spreadsheet wrapped 2023.

this year i read 9,020,674 words :O thats over a million more than last year lol (7,815,414). i read 1172 fics total, which was less than last year (1325). so i suppose overall i was reading longer fics.

top ten fandoms

teen wolf - 405

fall out boy - 202

the untamed - 81

stargate atlantis - 53

the witcher - 50

the sandman - 48

x-men - 47

merlin - 46

ted lasso - 20

les miserables & atla & pride and prejudice all had 17 each lol

top ten pairings

derek hale/stiles stilinski - 389

patrick stump/pete wentz - 193

rodney mckay/john sheppard - 50

erik lehnsherr/charles xavier - 46

merlin/arthur pendragon - 45

geralt of rivia/jaskier - 44

dream/hob gadling - 43

lan xichen/jin guangyao/nie mingjue - 36

enjolras/grantaire, elizabeth bennet/fitzwilliam darcy, sokka/zuko - 17 each

aziraphale/crowley - 15

break down into months

january

top fandom was the sandman, top pairing was dream/hob. makes total sense because i was still clinging on from 2022.

top fic - And Not Ask Leave of Any - dream/hob 15th century faeries au. i have no recollection of this but january me loved it.

february & march

top fandom was the untamed, top pairing was lan xichen/jin guangyao/nie mingjue. i had been rewatching the untamed and was going insane despite not even getting to the best bits for that ot3 lol

Feb top fic - Some others I've seen - steddyhands established relationship - ed and izzy have a tavern and stede visits. again i have no recollection of this and i think its mostly sex

March top fic - An Elegant Solution - nie mingjue/wei wuxian/lan wangji. by far one of my favourite fics EVER and this was a reread and it still hurt me just as good as the first time. arranged marriage fic that fixes so many problems and weirdly the thing that hurts me most wasnt even the main pairing it was the nie minjue/lan xichen/jin guangyao. never has a fic made me pivot from hating to liking a character so effectively

crazy that neither of my fav fics were from my top read pairings lol

april

top fandom was x-men and top pairing was cherik.

my mum died in late march and i lost my MIND and could exclusively watch media i enjoyed between the ages of 12 and 14 and xmfc was The movie when i was that age

top fic - Weekend at Casterly - jaime lannister/brienne of tarth regency au. sorry i will always come back to these two altho ill admit this was rogue and came out of no where

may & june

top fandom was teen wolf, sterek

may top fic - Yes is a World - sterek. derek rejects stiles and then they get together after a few years and have to reassert boundaries. didnt finish where most fics finish and i enjoyed that extra insight into what happens after the get together

june top fic - it’s a long way forward (so trust in me) - geraskier. reread. geralt is an omega who wants too much. soooo embarassing to put omegaverse on here which i usually avoid but this fic is soooo good their dynamic is perfect

july

top fandom was the witcher, geraskier

THEY MADE THAT BARD BISEXUAL

Jinx Removing - sterek. this is saved as dr pepper fic on the spreadsheet which means nothing. another case of derek waiting for stiles and planning for them to be good for each other

bit funny that last month sterek was my top pairing but my fav fic was geraskier and now its swapped for july

august & september

top fandom was merlin, and merthur

august - Once & Future - geraskier, warlord au where geralt is a statue awoken by jaskiers kiss. really beautifully written

september - the devil's in the details - merthur. arthur lists the ban on magic and thinks merlin just learnt really really fast

i left a specific note for myself in september to lmk i was really into reece shearsmith but he simply has no fic. thanks past me

october

top fandom was sherlock, but the pairing was enjolras/grantaire. i simply have no idea how this happened

Epiphanies - enjolras/grantaire. modern au where they do a christmas reunion and enjolras isnt doing too well. i found this too relatable thumbs up emoji

november & december

ah. well this was the time of fall out boy and peterick. what a way to end the year

nov - Schrodingerverse - covid verse that was written during covid and the series that got me back into peterick. guilty pleasure fic for me

dec - time is luck - there was like 3 good fics this month it was very very hard to choose between. but this ons is the ultimate dynamic that im seeking from modern peterick fic where pete is entirely dedicated to patrick and completely accepting of their friendship and not wanting anymore. But What if He Could Have More???

in summary. when your mum dies make sure you read like a shit ton of sterek fic for 2 months in a tiny box room in a village itll be so good for you. and then go to see your favourite band from when you were 14 live and get back into rpf while trying to start 2 new jobs.

seriously though how did i read 405 teen wolf fics in like 2.5 months and then just never touch sterek again. i didnt even finish teen wolf

#praying the readmore works on this lol

9 People You’d Like To Get To Know Better

I was tagged by @weethreequarter, who for some reason I can't properly tag back. Though while I was trying to figure out why, I discovered that somehow tumblr had randomly un-followed them for me (so helpful, tumblr is!) so I'm glad to have fixed that!

---

Last song: I mostly only listen to music in the car, so according to my playlist randomizer, the last thing I was listening to was "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by the Eurythmics.

Favorite color: It's hard to say. Blue was my favorite color for a long time, but it was red for a while, too, and I'm super fond of, like, peacock blue-green and rich purples. Mostly I just really like jewel tones.

Currently watching: Not really anything at the moment. I finally got around to watching Staged (just S1) but I binged that all in one night; before that I'd seen S2 of Good Omens (and am still processing the heartbreak) and the second half of S3 of Witcher.

Last movie: In the theater? It was either Across the Spider-Verse or Honor Among Thieves (the D&D movie); I can't remember which order I saw them in. On my laptop, @monobuu and I co-watched No Reservations because she had an AU idea.

Currently reading: Fanfics, pretty much entirely. I've been poking back through my older bookmarked fics and re-reading them, and keeping up with new/ongoing fics as they hit my notifications.

Sweet/spicy/savory: I'm a massive wimp when it comes to spicy things, though I like a little bit of spicy from time to time. And my sweet tooth has been forcibly dialed back over the last year or so because sugar is one of the primary triggers for my heartburn, which is not just unpleasant but super painful when it hits my stomach ulcer. (But I still really like sweet things, I just hit the "okay I've had enough now" limit a lot sooner than I used to.) And savory is nice, too. Look, I just really like food.

Relationship status: divorced, officially 10 years next month, actually. I sort of wouldn't mind dating but I don't want to put any actual work into finding someone to date. Anyone want to be my extremely low-effort long-distance significant other? 😂

Current obsession: Good Omens is currently front and center, but it's not like I've stopped obsessing about my favorite ships in other fandoms (Dreamling, Geraskier, Winteriron)

Last thing I googled: How to do a thing I was trying to do LibreOffice. Before that, looking up whether some minor health issues I'm currently having might be related to oncoming menopause.

Currently working on: Teaching myself some bookbinding, and a cross-stitch project. I have several writing projects open in their tabs, but every time I look at them, my brain says, "....nah, not feeling it."

---

I never know who to tag in these things. I love reading them, though, even if they're not a mutual or anyone I've ever interacted with. It's so fun, seeing little slices of other lives from all over the planet. So if you've read this, please consider yourself tagged!

Everything goes to shit, but ultimately Hob winds up becoming pet to the Endless and remains (voluntarily) collared in a demonic summoning circle as a kitten.

-In Darkest Dreams They Slumber - (~700 written) - The Dreaming is the tartarus to the elder gods and the dreamstones are the anchors of their binding. When Burgess traps Dream, far more is at stake than just the emergence of the sleepy sickness. Things better left forgotten and lost were rousing from their slumber. Their madness bleeding out beyond their weakening bonds, creating ideal conditions for Dream vortexes to emerge, and cracking the foundation of the current universe. Hob and Johanna have been investigating the mass dreaming of cosmic/eldritch horrors that have become the norm for dreamers in the 20th century since they started appearing in “weird fiction rags”.

-Untitled Soteria (original fic by @phinofthestorm) AU ficlet - (~900 written) - The Endless are shamans that channel the untamed magic of the seven core aspects of the realm. In the early days of Ubrudlys, there was an unknown successor to the shaman of Death. With no training and left alone in the wilds, the unbridled magic of the Sunless Lands flows through them trapping the dead they encounter in their decaying bodies. Soon the child Death has a host of undead following them and the people of the realm are frightened by this mysterious "parade of 100 demons".

-As a stranger I know myself - (~1.2k on my part) - Collab fic with @phinofthestorm ! WARNING: Dubious Consent, Non-Consensual Body Modification - Roderick Burgess wanted to capture Death, but instead he captured Dream, Shaper of Forms, and decided to force the Endless to reshape himself into his son. Hob attends a soiree to celebrate the return of his wartime friend (and lover) who he'd thought was dead at Fawney Rig. They rekindle their relationship now away from the war, but when the truth comes to light, what will happen to their relationship and will Dream be able to return to himself?

I have notes on some other plot bunny thoughts for both fandoms and a sizeable outline for a Dreamling Hook (1991) AU, but nothing actually written for those... I also don't know who all has done this already, but I want to see everyone's WIPs so feel free to say I tagged you if you want to do this! Hmm, I will poke @dramaoftheendless @thranduilland @mentallyinvernation @spockandthings @bluesundaycake @certifiedbisexualdisaster and apologies if yall have already done or been tagged for this~

For the WIP asks: I haven’t read the books yet and therefore have only a very basic understanding of Regis and his relationship with Geralt, but I’d love to hear more about “Regis is Ciri’s Professor”!

Aw yay!

Geralt x Regis Modern AU from the WIP game.

I’d love to talk about Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy and Geralt of Rivia! Their relationship is one of the best gifts the books give us. It is a goddamn delight.

But I’d never written them! (ETA other than peripherally in a one shot about Eskel meeting Regis) I always get into these long multi chapter Geraskier WIPs and don’t have time for anything else. And my friend Ro over on Twitter doesn’t read Geraskier and so I said…hey Ro, I want to write you a fic. Gimme a prompt.

And Ro said…how about a modern Geralt x Regis AU where Regis is Ciri’s professor? Well that’s perfect. One of Regis’s defining personality traits is how much he loves to go on and on. Perfect for a professor.

That was many months ago so Ro probably assumes I forgot and at some point this is going to get ridiculous I know but I’m still trying to find some kind of gentle little twist for the ending.

But the premise is that Geralt has just moved Ciri into her dorms and said goodbye. He is sitting on a bench, trying to work up the courage to go home to an empty house, when a handsome stranger asks him how he’s doing. He assumes this man is a fellow parent and believes that when he lets him walk away, that he missed his chance. But has he?

Excerpt

——

“I’m proud of her. I’m excited for her. But…” Geralt stopped. Not sure what to say.

“Change is always painful,” said Regis, “even when it is exactly the thing we want. Even good change tests us.”

Regis watched him for a moment. Geralt heard a voice in his head whisper...he’s handsome. Geralt had always loved a strong nose and a face that looked like it had lived a little and laughed a lot.

“You sound like you have experience with this.” He tried to gather his composure with a question

“Oh,” Regis looked out over the park, “I go through this every year it seems.”

“You must have a lot of kids.”

“So very many.”

Geralt chuckled. He had only had Ciri, and she had kept him on his toes every day of her life. He couldn’t imagine having more.

“How do other people do this?” The breeze pulled a lock of his hair from the tie, practically whipping his eyes. He shoved it behind his ear.

Regis looked at him thoughtfully. “You go back home, and you rediscover yourself.”

“The things I used to like?” Ciri had actually sent him a few articles about parents finding themselves again after their children left home. It was full of bullet points about reconnecting with yourself. Remembering what you’d done before your life was absorbed by parenthood. Ciri had also offered her own advice.

“Hit the clubs again, dad.”

“Very funny.”

“Maybe,” said Regis, “it could be the old things. But it might be new things. It’s not a rewind, exactly. It’s forging ahead. It’s freedom to build something new. Dream new dreams. Try new things. ” He smiled rakishly as though daring Geralt to do something brave.

New things. Thought Geralt. He couldn’t help noticing that Regis was new. But it was doubtful he was available, even if he was attracted to men. Geralt put the very unlikely thought out of his mind. He cleared his throat. “I don’t know if I can even remember who I was before.”

“That’s good! It’s the you now that matters. In this phase of life. It’s time to meet this new guy. He’s the same as the old one, but different.” Regis smiled. “I hope that makes it clear.”

Geralt laughed and shook his head. “As mud.” His chest loosened. He felt a tiny, hesitant bloom of hope. “Thank you, Regis. Thank you for taking the time to listen to a stranger.”

Regis touched him on the shoulder. “One day at a time, Geralt.”

Geralt liked the sound of his name on Regis’s lips. He also liked it when he touched him.

“And look after yourself,” he continues. “Do you have a system of support? Friends? Neighbors? Partner?”

Partner.

Did he want to know? Or was he just rattling off a list? There had been the slightest pause before he said it.

Geralt blew out a breath. “I have brothers, a father. They live pretty far away. I have a best friend, and an ex who is also a friend. But they’re always traveling.”

“Maybe it's time to add some new friends to the mix. You don’t want to be one of those parents who call their child every day and guilt trip them when they don’t pick up.”

Geralt groaned. “I do not.”

Regis smiled again. “You can do this Geralt. I believe in you.”

Geralt really did believe that he had faith in him. It was odd. Oddly comforting.

“Thank you.”

Regis nodded. “Maybe jump back into the dating pool. You are kind, caring. All of that is clear with one conversation. You’re obviously a loving father. And you are also, as I’m sure you must know, absurdly handsome.”

Geralt’s jaw dropped.

Regis continued casually, completely comfortable, perhaps even enjoying Geralt’s state of pleasant shock. “Geralt, I am absolutely certain that there are many men who would be thrilled to be on your arm.”

“Men? How did you know?” breathed Geralt.

Regis stood, and grinned again. “I didn’t. But now I do, don’t I?” He winked and walked away as Geralt spluttered under his breath, unable to come up with a single word in response.

@serenailith tagged me and made me face the horrors of my own reality, the mortifying ordeal of my WIPs being known

-original urban fantasy series, about 140k in and onto the second volume. It's about if the world of the fae courts were just dimensionally adjacent to ours, slowly colliding over the centuries, and the drama that would cause in our modern era. -Gil-galad focused Silmarillion fic where the 'young son sent to Cirdan in the havens' was a decoy, he never stopped playing along, and whoops now he's high king of elves

-Unnamed Geraskier nonsense, its just a weirdly horny monster hunt. They're horny, not the monster.

Way too many dreamling fics, or general Sandman

-Witcher AU fic, elf dream. I feel like I'm combining all the things I like with this one -1600s road trip fic, this one is so close to done I can almost taste it.

-Sad Author!Dream human AU, 1/3 finished with the final part, SOON -Soulmate AU fic, exactly what it says on the tin but its canon-verse and the soulmate thing is super specific to immortals

-SPN crossover, where the crossroads Dream tried to pull out of dreams for the Hecate was where Sam and Dean were summoning the crossroads demon. Universe did a whoops and summoned a still weak Dream who hadn't got his tools back yet God there's probably more, and I have more outlined, someone save me from myself. It's Camp NaNo and my goal is 100k but that's not enough for all this. idk who all has done this already, so if you want to consider yourself tagged cause I want to see everyone's WIPs! But also @sleepsonfutons @honeyteacakes @lenreli

The Witcher fanfic masterlist

Fighting to get to you

Gen fics

What my heart just yearns to say

Geraskier. 1,996 words. Fluff, first kiss.

Geralt wants to tell Jaskier how he feels, but battles with his inner belief witchers shouldn't want the comfort of another. He cares for his bard the only way he thinks he's allowed until Jaskier forces a conversation between them.

Teen fics

Geraskefer. 2,600 words. Kidnapping, rescue, danger, peril.

Geralt and Yennefer fight tooth and nail to rescue Jaskier, held against his will in a castle on top of a perilous peak.

Revelations

Geraskier. Emotional hurt

Minor Blood Origin spoilers. Jaskier thinks it's unfair that his witcher doesn't love him back.

What He Deserves (1/2)

Geraskier. Angst, regret, emotional hurt

Geralt sees a dandelion poking out proudly from the ice and guilt eats at his heart. Jaskier didn't deserve the words he said on the dragon hunt. If destiny will lead him to Jaskier, he deserves the bard screaming at him. He deserves Jaskier telling him to leave.

Mature fics

All tied up

Geraskier. Bondage

Geralt ties Jaskier to a chair.

Begging

Geraskier. Edging

Jaskier begs Geralt to let him come after hours of being edged.

Dancing Around His Feelings

Jaskier x Countess da Stael. Sex work, oral sex, emotional hurt, unhealthy coping mechanisms, hint at polyamory

Jaskier is still feeling hurt by what Geralt said on the Caingorn mountain when he takes up the Countess' offer of staying with her for the winter.

Grovelling

Geraskier. Apology kink, dub con, dacryphilia

Jaskier seeks to make amends the only way he can.

Lessons in Self Discovery

Multi, Jaskier, Aiden, Lambert, Geralt. 1,679 words. Open relationships, voyeurism, spanking, caning, bdsm, kink discovery

Geralt watches Jaskier get spanked by Aiden, then Lambert caned. It makes him realise something about his own desires to submit.

Lovely bottom

Geraskier. Implied rimming

A massage turns into something spicier.

The real treasure

Geraskier, Geralt and family. Implied/referenced chastity and sex, no smut, family feels

Jaskier sends Geralt on a treasure hunt. It may take all day, but Geralt manages to find the real treasure in the end.

Explicit fics

A Nice Afternoon

Geraskier. 1,921 words. Modern AU, oral sex, Himbo!Geralt.

Jaskier wants to 69 with Geralt, but he can't just tell him. Instead, he uses a cake to get the message across.

Bring your hunger

Geraskier. Sexual attraction, wet dreams, eventual getting together, sex

When Jaskier gets propositioned by a man after one of his shows, it causes Geralt to start thinking about his own desires for the bard. The witcher resists his temptations, but destiny seems to have other ideas because Jaskier is in his thoughts all the time. What will it take for Geralt to finally fall into Jaskier’s arms and kiss him?

Endless

Geraskier. Anal sex

Vampire!Geralt shows Jaskier a really good time with his endlessly hard cock.

Jaskier sandwich

Multi, Jaskier, Aiden, Lambert, Geralt. Open relationships, bondage, threesome, blow jobs, anal sex, modern AU.

Jaskier is a switch and likes to get dicked down every now and then. Luckily, Aiden is more than happy to open up his bed to Jaskier.

One Special Night

Jaskier x Elihal. Trans character, oral sex.

Dandelion knew the earrings would look perfect on Elihal.

Petals In A Storm (16/16)

Saskier, Jaskel, one-sided Geraskier. Casual sex, open relationships, oral sex, anal sex, face sitting, vaginal fingering, shaming language, emotional hurt, grief, angst, canon typical violence, kidnapping, asexual character

Since the mountain, Jaskier has been grieving Geralt and funnelling all his emotions into sleeping around, unable to believe the love he has within his grasp with Sam the Baker. It takes being plucked out of his life and meeting another witcher, Eskel, to realise that maybe his views on love have been misguided.

Masterlist of my spooky/horror fics 👻

*All fandoms included*

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Stucky - Steve/Bucky

From the Pain I Have Been Frozen Into (I Beg to Be Free)

“You’re awake,” the man smiles, approaches to perch himself on the chair beside the bed. “Do you remember me?” "You’re the one who saved me.” “I am. It’s a miracle I’ve found you.” -- On the run from Hydra, James gets in a car accident during a snowstorm. He's saved by a gentle and caring man who lives in a cabin in the middle of the woods. Why does he instantly trusts him, and why does he keep dreaming of a door in the basement that isn't there?

Thou Shall Call Forth Sothoth

“Ma, I know you’re a witch,” Bucky told his mother a few nights later, under the comfort of the wood cracking in the fireplace and the slow, calm lull outside, the half-moon barely shining through the thick clouds over the neighbour’s house. His mother laughed, took his hand. “I’m not a witch, you silly boy. I’m a priestess.” Bucky frowned. He wasn’t a regular church-goer, but he knew there was no such thing as Catholic priestesses. “Priestess of what?” She fetched the same leather-bound book he found before, all those years ago. “Let me show you.”

Sounds Echo the Absurd

17th century. Steve Rogers goes to the New World with a group of Europeens in the hopes of a new, better life. They settle on the edge of a forest, in what would become Massachusetts. He quickly finds his place as a carpenter, and he may or may not have been staring at the Barnes' son a few too many times. But as months pass, spirits and demons from the forest start to emerge. Steve can feel their eyes on him, can hear them skitter in his house at night. What if leaving offerings for them come to not be enough anymore? What if they want more?

Stony - Steve/Tony

the finger down your spine

The man, with his large brown eyes and beautiful features and small smirk, had a dangerous edge to him. No, not a man, a vampire. His long hair was loose, and he wore a perfectly fit three-piece suit. He was stunning, and it was almost irrelevant to mention that Steve was, indeed, stunned. The stranger’s smile only grew as he dragged his gaze down Steve’s body and brought it back to his flustered face. “Well, aren’t you lovely, lonely soldier.”

Winteriron - Tony/Bucky

crawl inside

Tony wakes up three years after being part of the rescue team for the USG Icarus, the most notorious planet-cracker classed spaceship, and from which he’s the only survivor. He doesn’t remember what happened during that time, or understand why he’s kept in a straightjacket on the Sprawl, the station on Saturn’s biggest moon. What Tony knows is that the Church of Hydra, responsible for the first necromorph outbreak, is redoing the same thing, and that he’s once again stuck in the middle of it. (Dead Space AU)

Red Dead Redemption 2

Morston - Arthur/John

I buried you in the snow

He'd seen all sorts of things during his travels: unexplained flying objects in the middle of the night, robots murdering their masters, a human-made monster, a serial killer convinced he was a vampire, ghosts haunting the swamps and Roanoke Ridge, and the list went on. An encounter with a werewolf wasn’t too far fetched in the greater scheme of things. When he woke up the next day, he wondered if he hadn't just dreamed the whole thing, but the pair of jeans discarded on the floor was still damp and there was a messy drawing of the beast in his journal, along with the simple description: "I saved a werewolf from drowning. He owns me a lasso."

The Witcher

Geraskier - Geralt/Jaskier

The Reanimator of Rosemerrow

“This inn has an interesting reputation. Its owners are usually quick to resale it.” “Because of her decaying state? She just needs some remodel, soon she’ll be back up and about.” He stepped sideway to pat the half-destroyed wall and take a deep breath, away from Geralt’s unfair attractiveness. “Partially, but there’s also been paranormal rumours. Apparitions, misplaced objects, footsteps.” “And you believe in them? I always assumed you were the skeptical cartesian type.” Geralt wasn’t facing him, but he heard him chuckle darkly. “There are things you can’t escape from.” “Indeed,” Jaskier breathed out, thinking of what’d he seen when he was alone in the inn, the heavy presences and the few cases of being touched by a being that he had the unfortunate ability to see. “I’m, uh, familiar with unusual events.” – In 1819, Jaskier accidentally buys an old abandoned inn in the middle of nowhere, England. Haunted, as if this mountain of dust and debris wasn’t already enough of a problem. At least he has a handsome carpenter to help him renovate it.

Sleepy Hollow

Geralt hummed and nuzzled the crook of Jaskier’s neck without thinking. It was foreign to him, being held this gently. Only Ciri gave him hugs nowadays, but this one felt different. Geralt felt understood, precious. “What happened, with the Horseman? How did he hurt you?” “Freed himself and stabbed me when I was about to throw him back through the portal.” He frowned. A wound like this wouldn’t have killed him, but Doctor Lancaster had been right when he said even his metabolism wasn’t this fast. “You used your chaos to save me.” “I did.” “Why?” Jaskier gently cupped the back of his head, his thumb stroking the shell of his ear. “Though I cannot cure the world, I would make you live healthy and happy in it.”

Dragon Age

Cullrian - Cullen/Dorian

You run my life right outta my soul

That was the danger of infiltrating enemies’ sects, and why Cullen preferred to suck information out of lower ranks; easier to make them talk, easier to get rid of. AKA the Vampire The Masquerade AU nobody asked for.

splinters of my soul

“I only see glimpses and pieces. I know the color of your underwear too.” “It’s not necessary.” “Green with a red design, it was a gift from… Mia.” He hid his smirk in his mug, having an image of Cullen in the mirror this morning wearing nothing but that underwear. A wonderful sight. “Cassandra forgot to mention your-“ “Charms? Good looks?” “I was about to say elocution, but that too.” --- Dorian is a medium and psychic owning a small shop in Montreal, Canada. He's content with his life until the Police requests his help for a missing boy and he meets Commander Rutherford.

Ghost in the Cell

Dorian is invited to investigate an haunted prison with a paranormal investigator crew, and he brings Cullen along for some ghost adventures.

Blood Red Setting Sun

This wasn’t Dorian anymore, not the Dorian who would make fun of Felix when he’d become flustered and tongue-tied when trying to talk to a girl, who introduced him to the delicacies of wine and with whom he discussed for hours about books no one else took interest into. He couldn’t believe it, to use such radical mean for such a pitiful reason. Halward Pavus didn't use blood magic on his son, he turned him Tranquil.

i think a sign that i’ve been thinking too much about blorbos from my shows is when i start dreaming up AUs. literally had a geraskier teacher AU dream last night. they were both teachers (no idea what age they taught, it looked like a high school but felt like university), geralt did something sports related?? and i think also gave like horse riding classes?? and jask did ???? but i do vaguely remember that i think geralt was at some point supposed to teach jask horse riding and that jask would sit in his classes and like listen to him teach. it was a nice dream overall i just remember fuck all from it

#bee stuff #it also transformed into a non-geraskier dream eventually #so like i completely lost the thread in the dream

Still hate that I can't send asks from my sideblog, but 2 for the ask meme!

(Also, I've been meaning to say that your art is amazing. I still think about the pieces you did for the siren AU and cry on the inside. Your Dream is perfect.)

Thank you!! I need to draw siren Dream again, he's such a gorgeous creature and so much fun! <3

2. Favorite ships this year:

Well, obviously Dreamling, before that was probably Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson, and Geraskier because that just stays all the time. (It's really hard for me to remember what I was into this year, damn >_> there weren't many series with ships in it, I watched a lot of stuff but nothing shippable)
