*gasp* for the whump prompts: 28. “See where bravery’s gotten you?” With Lambert/Geralt???

Well, well, well. Seems like two of you really enjoy angst, huh?

Warnings: Injury mention

--------------------------------

"This is the stupidest thing you've ever done."

"What about that time I tried to drink you under the table?"

"No, this is much fucking stupider."

"Hmm." There wasn't much else Geralt could say to that. Lambert had a point.

Everything had started off well enough. The contract was straight forward, Lambert had had enough potions, time to coat his sword in the sticky oil required to dispatch the wraiths haunting the manor, and even gotten a good night's sleep. Only, it wasn't wraiths.

It was a fucking striga.

He should have seen the signs as soon as he passed through the dilapidated front hall. Nothing left claw marks like that in stone except the monstrous creature he could now hear screaming on the other side of the coffin lid.

The coffin he was jammed into face to face with Geralt.

He sighed. Geralt wrinkled his nose.

"Have you been eating raw onions again?"

"Fuck off," he growled back.

Turns out there had been two contracts on the creature in the manor. One to kill it, one to save it. Whilst he'd taken the former, Geralt had been hired to do the latter. And - since the white-haired wanna be knight had all the luck the gods didn't give to the rest of the Witchers - he knew exactly what he was fighting.

Didn't stop him from nearly getting his arm torn off and his throat ripped out though. The blood was slowly seeping from the wounds, pooling underneath them in a sticky congealing mess.

"See where bravery has gotten you, oh White Wolf?" Lambert sneered. "If we'd just killed the fucking thing - "

"She doesn't know what she's doing," Geralt cut him off. "She's been cursed, and we have to do our best to break it, give her a chance before we - "

"A chance! She's killed at least half a dozen people this month alone. Even if she survives the process of reversing the curse, what's that amount of death going to do to her fucking psyche?"

Geralt's jaw snapped shut as he glared back at Lambert. In the dull light being cast by the Quen they were both holding to keep the lid of the coffin sealed, he watched Geralt grit his teeth. Despite knowing he was right, Lambert didn't feel any sense of satisfaction at seeing the doubt reflected back at him from the other Witcher's eyes.

They were both silent for a long time, the only sound the striga screaming out her rage at being denied her hiding place, forced to face the sun as it crested the horizon and hopefully helped to break the curse's hold on her.

"It's not bravery," Geralt finally muttered, not looking at Lambert as he spoke. "It's doing what is right."

Lambert scoffed. "It's a monster, Geralt. We kill monsters. That's what's right."

"Is it?" Geralt's eyes flicked back up to pin him with a hard stare. "What about the ones shaped like men? It was a man that did this to her - created the curse that made her into this thing. If we kill monsters, shouldn't it be him we hunt instead?"

Lambert stared at him for a moment before grinning sharply. "I suppose you're right." Geralt barked a laugh. Lambert rolled his eyes. "Fuck you're such a white knight about this shit."

"Comes with the hair," Geralt deadpanned.

Lambert smothered a laugh by biting his lips. He readjusted his position, trying unsuccessfully again to straighten his legs and unkink his back.

"All right, white knight. What's the plan?"

Still wanting to marry this fic Part 2

My obssession with @nemainofthewater‘s Shining Universe/dragon!Jaskier universe continues (her fic can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22562836?view_full_work=true ). For a change a connected ficlit set in this universe with the author’s permission. Jaskier attends the festival. My god there may actually be some sort of a rough plot emerging not just ever breeding bunnies.

Other ficlets on my Tumblr under the tag #dragon!jaskier.

Geralt cannot believe his ears or eyes. Jaskier is performing at the music festival. Jaskier is strutting and dancing around the stage in the most outrageous sparkly outfit complete with mask (when did he start wearing a mask? Why is he wearing a mask? As disguises go it fails utterly! Geralt knows him at a glance!) But even he cannot deny the effect the bard is having on the audience. The Countess looks ready to faint. Women are tossing handkerchiefs at the stage (handkerchiefs, and other pieces of clothing). Geralt wants Ciri to avert her eyes. She snorts, bats his hand away, and tries to move closer for a better look, even resorting to jumping up and down to see over people’s heads. When her efforts fail, she literally climbs up Geralt, perching on his shoulder to see above the sea of people that make up the enthralled audience.

“Do you know him?” she asks, eyes never leaving the performance. Geralt has no words to respond to her question. “He’s singing about you! You must know him.”

“No,” Geralt lies. “No, I don’t know him.”

Jaskier opened with a rousing rendition of Toss a Coin to Your Witcher with changed and additional verses. He’s certainly improved over the years when it comes to his lyrics, though the chorus is the same. The crowd sings along with him. He later follows it with a love ballad Her Sweet Kiss, a song Geralt had only heard in its infancy but now is complete. He will never admit it but it hurts to listen to the words, the hitch in Jaskier’s voice (“I am weak,” his voice breaks “And I am wanting!”) He sings songs Geralt had never heard before (“Why do you build me up?” “Build me up!” the audience sings back to him. “Buttercup, baby just to let me down” “Let me down!” the audience roars. “And mess me around and then worst of all!” “Worst of all!”), that has the audience enraptured (“Hold me! Hold me! Never let me go until you’ve told me, what I want to know and just hold me! Hold me! Make me tell you I’m in love with you!”), and joining in at the top of their lungs.

He then begins his final piece, a heroic epic of the kind that bards haven’t bothered singing or composing in years. Still the refrain is deeply moving and memorable, but this time the crowd is too bewitched by the story in the song to do more than listen in rapt silence. It is a song about a foul and perverted mage, greater and lesser evils, monsters, mutates, men, murdered girls, and the brilliant and daring Black Sun Princess. It is called The Bells of Blavekin.

Geralt nearly swallows his tongue listening to it.

Despite holding the crowd in the palm of his hand and successfully wooing the Countess de Stael in public (she fainted twice during his performance and she deigned to allow him to somehow, incredibly leap from the stage to her raised pavilion and press an ardent kiss to her perfumed hand), Jaskier doesn’t win the competition.

The crowd riots in protest.

so u already know how i feel about ur witcher au with derek and ares, so my question for u is what is another universe au you'd want to fulfill with derek and ares (or just ares for that matter!)

listen im am a hoee for like, spy shit a la james bond, so one of these days we might see the bs ficlit in which derek is the double o agent and ares is the poor q branch intern that got stuck talking him through his botched mission bc he got the wrong connection. after that, he keeps calling her instead of like, someone who is actually paid to deal with that bc he’s an asshole and also she’s actually kinda good at it?

and then they fall in love. featuring the rest of the pack as other q branch interns or agents. Peter is the criminal mastermind that comes over for brunch on sundays.
