security in simplicity

"Where's the little one?" Eskel asked Geralt in passing, licking his lips to get the last of the flowery oil Jaskier had insisted on piling them all with to defend against the winter cold, as he watches the younger witcher sharpen the blades of the armory.

"On the lake with Lamb." Geralt murmurs, the deep of his voice being felt more than heard. "He bet her ten pieces of that salty cheese she likes that he could stay on the ice longer than she could on skates. Needles to say, he's lost out on cheese and dignity." He rumbles, a smirk on his face when they both hear another bark of pain as thr youngest of the three takes another tumble on his ass.

The two make their way to the window, and sure enough, Lambert spins on the ice on his back, hands outstretched but gaining no grip as the girl stands atop him, laughing in merriment as she literally skates circles around him.

"You little shit, wait til I-" but Lamberts voice falls through as he slips again. Ciri laughs once more, and the brothers chuckle.

"Beaten by a girl, eh, Lambs?" Coën comes into view, holding two large mugs in each hand.

"Fuck off, you-" he spits at the frost spray lining his mouth, and cringes as he finally bumbles to his feet, snatching the hot coffee from the Griffin as Ciri's spins stop and she settles next to him.

"Another wager?" She grins at him. Lambert swipes at her.

"Fuck off, brat."

Witcher Blurb #2

based on THIS post

word count: 312

The day was going as per normal, Ciri is running around doing her lessons, focusing hard to replicate her mentors actions and many times additional instructions, in an attempt to help the girl along. 

Unlike normal, though, was her new shadow.

Lambert has been following her around the entire day, always about 10 feet back and resting against the nearest wall, looking rather bored. Eskel shakes off the urge to ask his brother just what in the world he could be doing, but Ciri doesnt seem to mind him being there and figures its some sort of bonding ritual the pup had come up with to get closer to his niece. 

He is about to walk away when Ciri accidentally knocks into a vile she was meant to keep upright, the small ashen poof coating her as if she had been working in the dirt all day, the force blowing her hair in all sorts of directions. 

This was her third mess up in a row, the steam nearly visible coming from her ears and she fights the urge to scream.

“ARE YOU-” she pauses for just a second, Eskel watching as his brother fills in seamlessly, hiding the chuckle in his voice.

“Fucking,” he offers, waving a hand dismissivly before going back to picking at his fingers.

“-KIDDING ME?” she finishes without so much as a hesitation. Snorting a laugh, eskel slides into the space next to his brother.

“Okay, ill bite. What was that all about?” Lambert fights his own grin.

“Song bird banned Ciri from swearing, something about it not being lady like… So i volunteered to help.” he shrugs, as if it was obvious. 

“You just like saying fuck,” eskel dedapans, barely hiding the amusement in his tone. Lamberts even baritone beside him makes his shoulders shake with silent laughter.

“That doesn’t make my job any less important.”

Jaskier feels for Eskel too. And honestly, out of that bunch Eskel is the softest bean, next to Geralt. I think Jaskier hasn't met any of the other wolves before, but he has heard stories of them.

#geraskier #jaskier #eskel #the witcher #julian alfred pankratz #omegaverse #milek gets to know his uncle!! even if said uncle doesn't have an idea

[podcastenthusiast]

Really think there's something to be said about Vesemir and the Kaer Morons putting in the effort--because it wouldn't always be easy--not only to train Ciri as a witcher, but to help her heal from her trauma (and maybe in the process heal some of their own) by giving her a safe and supportive and happy home, a place where she had a chance to have the childhood they never really did (apart from Vesemir's bedtime stories of course).

The witcher fortress was, I've no doubt, a minefield of bad memories for them all. Can't even imagine how Vesemir felt seeing a child at the keep again, maybe wearing some poor trainee's old clothes. How hard it must've been for them not to think about what they went through and everything/everyone they lost when Ciri inevitably asked questions.

Even so, despite having no idea what to do with her sometimes, they tried so hard to ensure Kaer Morhen would be nothing less than a good home for this young human girl. Which it was, because she was loved so much there. And I think that's beautiful.

#in the books it doesn't seem like she was there that long? but let me have this. basing this largely on the wholesome stuff #i know eskel has a kid somewhere too but i dunno much about it #this is the premise for part 2 of my latest fic is just need like. a plot #the witcher #witcher 3 #witcher books #cirilla fiona elen riannon #kaer morons #vesemir #the temple is great ok i just adore weird witcher girl ciri and her five or six weird uncles

[eileensdress]

Reading the Witcher series only makes me mourn the time at Kaer Morhen Ciri COULDVE had in the TV show if the writers weren’t up their own asses

#CIRI CALLS EVERYONE UNCLE OTHER THAN GERALT #GERALT GIVES HER A SWORD AND TELLS HER ITS FROM HEVEN #TRISS SHOWS HER HOW TO DO HER MAKEUP #ESKEL TAKES EXTRA SPECIAL CARE OF HER #LAMBERT ENCOURAGES HER AND COMPLIMENTS HER WHILE SHES TRAINING #SHE AND COËN PLAY GAMES TOGETHER #ohhhh my god #BOE is entirely the Kaer morons making her feel safe and happy and comfortable #and IM SO SAD WE DIDNT GET THAT #witcher posting #the witcher #i have feelings about the Netflix adaptation :/ #TWN

thinking about Geralt trying to play peekaboo with baby Ciri but she just starts wailing and screaming bc her dad just disappeared and she wants him back, she misses him! 😭

nooooo stop oughgh my godddd 😭😭 my hearttttt

#she misses her papa bro i-- #witcher tag #ogc tag #uncle eskel and uncle lambert can play peekaboo and she shrieks with joy and surprise #but he tries it and she starts crying #and at first he thinks that he's scaring her when he re-emerges. that maybe even worst of all... she finds his face itself scary #but he turns to get someone else to calm her thinking he's the problem #and she just keeps wailing and wailing #until he's got her in his arms again and she's hiccuping and tugging on his hair #and eventually they realize its because papa went away 🥺

Moonblood

Let it be known that Geralt and his brothers are, all in all, good men. Yeah, they can be dicks -like that time Eskel and Geralt had dressed up as Wyverns and leaped upon their brother while he slept, or that time Lambert had spiked a bottle of white gull with a certain medicinal herb that made the thief more than obvious- but they are good men. Stupid, granted -Geralt had thrown Lambert off a snowdrift when they were training, while Eskel had tried to balance the wall after drinking two entire tankards of brandy- but they are good men.

Geralt had tried to make it clear on the trip up to Kaer Morhen with his new ward. All in all, she seemed to believe him, until Lambert had started hissing at her, about the way the pretty little princess did her pretty little hair and wore her pretty little dress and stuck her pinky up when she drank water. Ciri had thrown a horse shoe at him, and all deemed to have been well after that. Lambert was less of a knob, Eskel tried his best to push past his pain of yet another blonde daughter of Kaer Morhen running around the hallways, Coen was thrilled to have another lover of the arts amongst the cranky wolves, and Vesemir slipped into the old master role with ease.

Things had been going well -albeit with Cirilla's still wild powers popping up at the most inconvenient of times- with his girl eager to learn anything they would teach her. Swordplay, hand to hand combat, star throwing, sword making and even the mundane things like hunting, skinning, cooking, harvesting and laundry she took to with eagerness. It had probably been those weeks of confusion and helplessness that spurned her onwards in all things they taught her, eager never to be how she had been ever again.

And it was because of her determination and her willingness to get down and scrap with the witchers, sampling the alcohol they had let her have and twirling a cheese knife when she was taught how, with her messily tied braid and dusty cheeks as Lambert taught her all the fun curse words Eist hadnt gotten around to yet as he went theiught he basics of bombs, that they almost forgot the most obvious thing of all.

Ciri was a girl.

And that was why it was so startling to Geralt when Lambert had started snipping at the girl because of her washed hair and face -was it about that? Geralt hadn't been paying attention, he was so shocked at her reaction that the context didn't seem important anymore- that ciri simply dropped her spoon into her bowl of porridge, and promptly burst into tears.

All of the witchers took a deep breath, rearing back as if the girl would suddenly leap out and strike. She didn't do that, simply sat there on the bench and cried into her hands.

Geralt reaches over to her, having stayed close when her scent had changed a couple days ago. He didn't know why, and with all the Kings and Mages hunting the girl, any changes was concerning. That and the sudden metallic scent of blood he had noted when the girl had walked into the room that morning, he was very unnerved by this reaction.

Not knowing what else to do, and with his mind spinning as he tried to come up with a reason of why his girl was acting so differently, the witcher reaches out and brings her into his arms. She goes willingly, clinging to him as she continues to cry.

"I-I-I- uh-" Lamb stutters, looking at his brother, eyes wide. He's befuddled, and obviously concerned that his brother will be the one to leap at him and pummel him.

Geralt cuddles his girl as best he can, shushing her, and taking in the scent once more. It's different than her usual honey and lemon and rose petals, more salty and bitter, as well as the metallic scent of blood.

Changes of scent, blood, crankiness- oh.

"Ah." The penny finally drops, running his hands over her back as she sniffles. "I get it now."

And it seems that his brothers and father attain the same knowledge at the same time. They relax and tense in the same moment, obviously unsure of what to say.

"Get what? I disnt-" Lmabert speaks fast.

"Can you not smell the blood?" Eskel huffs quietly, cuffing his brother. "She's a girl. They bleed."

"What? I-oh. Oh. Yeah, I get it. Fuck. I-fuck." Lambert rambles. "Umm, I'm very sorry, Ciri. Didn't mean to upset ya." He drawls awkwardly, fiddling with his blackened fingers.

She finally starts to compose herself, but doesn't seem willing to let go of Geralt just yet.

"Shit-uh-" Vesemir mutters. "Girl, if you don't feel up to training or lessons, you can have a few days away from it. Don't want to pressure you." He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. "And, if you want to head back to bed, that's fine too. Or train as normal, whatever works for you."

Ciri sniffles, and stops crying, but doesn't let go of the white haired witcher, nor look at his kin.

"Uh, you want a tonic? For the pain? I'm sure we can find something that'll work to take the discomfort. Does it hurt, lovers have mentioned that it does." Vesemir starts to ramble.

Geralt, Eskel and Lambert grunt in disgust. Eskel groans in agony, while Lambert gags.

"Melitele's tits, old man. Last thing any of us want to picture is you sticking your dick in a woman."

Geralt gags at that, and Ciri manages a giggle.

Coën shares a grin with the old wolf, both of them knowing why he had added the last part.

"In all seriousness, you need anything, girl? We could rip up some of the old bedsheets for cloth, figure out what tonic would make ya feel better. Can look in some of the old textbooks for that tea recipe the matrons used to swear by." Coën says, looking at the girl as she finally pulls from Geralt a little. He slings an arm around her shoulders as she burrows in.

"Yes, thank you." She whispers, wiping her blotchy face.

"Come on-" Geralt pulls at her wrists as he stands. "let's get you laying down, that'll make you feel better? Can get a waterskin, fill that up with some hot water, does that help."

"It-it does." She nods, standing up. She looks at the other witchers. "Thanks, for being nice, I guess. I know it's not something you deal with usually."

"Nonsence, girl. Get restin', feelin' better. You're no use to us all teary and bloody." Lambert smirks, sincerely hoping the girl wouldn't cry again.

And by the way she huffs and flips him off, he's amused and jovial once again.

Now, where are those bedsheets?

the irresistible urge to give Ciri so many positive parental figures

#secretly soft protective but respectful of her abilities and independence Dad Geralt #extremely proud teaching her to harness her power Mom Yennefer #exuberant but dependable and always there for moral support Dad Jaskier #quirky cryptid 'i need someone to get into mischief with and you're just the adult for that' Dad Regis #and Lambert and Eskel too who are more like uncles than dads but they're always around when she needs them #i want this girl to know she is LOVED she is VALUED for who she is. she has a place in the world and a family beyond her blood

[shy-urban-hobbit]

“I mean, you’ve got to feel a little sorry for them really haven’t you?” Jaskier said from where he was mopping up the last of the evidence of the half dead rat Roach had thoughtfully decided to gift them (the first time it happened he’d shrieked in surprise before Geralt put it out of its misery with a matter of fact “Welcome to country living, city boy”). Geralt gave a non committal hum from where he was warming milk up for Ciri on the stove. The little girl sat colouring at the large kitchen table - too large for two, but that would change when Geralt’s brothers and any guests they decided to bring descended on them.

“I mean they’re just minding their own business like, Oh I’m a hungry rat. Please don’t kill me.” Here Jaskier put on a slightly squeaky voice and held up his hands in imitation of paws, still holding onto the mop, “And then wham one of the last things they see is Roach’s teeth coming towards them. So many teeth.” He gave the resident farm cat a critical stare and received a dismissive tail flick in response.

Ciri giggled at his antics which caused him to grin back at her in return. It always felt like a special sort of personal victory when he managed to coax a laugh out of the little girl.

Despite being together for six months, he was still being introduced to her as her father’s ‘friend’ (which was true enough, they wouldn’t be dating if they didn’t get along) and Jaskier was happy to go along with it. Geralt had explained without revealing too much that the little one had been let down by too many adults in her life already, himself included, and ‘boyfriend’ was maybe just a little too official sounding for the time being (and if he said his heart hadn’t broken a little for the five year old smiling at him from Geralt’s phone, he’d by lying), especially after the shit that had gone down with his ex. Geralt hadn’t gone into detail but from what Jaskier had gathered, the woman had had a hidden agenda in wanting to get back with Geralt and Ciri had almost gotten seriously hurt as a result. Geralt had blamed himself for jumping back into the relationship too quickly and so, any potential partners now had to pass what Jaskier had dubbed ‘The Ciri test’.  

He liked to think he’d passed the first portion with flying colours, the tiny blonde seeming perfectly comfortable with him in public places. Now they were dipping their toes into Jaskier staying in their home for longer periods, with Jaskier having graduated from the guest bedroom to sharing with Geralt the previous visit (the brunette wanting the ground to swallow him up when she happily informed her Uncle Eskel of ‘Daddy’s sleepover’ when the man had dropped by unexpectedly the following morning. Geralt had just shrugged and told him to be thankful it hadn’t been Lambert; who could and would, happily take the piss forever).

“Alright Ciri, put your things away and then go get your bedtime book. I’ll be in in a minute.” Geralt said, pouring the warm milk into a plastic My Little Pony cup.

“I want Jask.” Ciri declared form where she was trying to force the crayons back into their box by the (relatively small) handful, Causing both adults to stop what they’d been doing and stare at one another. This was new.

“You sure you don’t want daddy?” Jaskier asked, looking to Geralt for some sign as to what he should do.

“You do better funny voices. Daddy’s all sound the same.”

It took everything Jaskier had not to burst out laughing at that as he took in the minute eye twitch from the other man at that statement, “Geralt?”

Geralt nodded, “Mind if I stay and listen? You know how much I love The Gruffalo.”

Jaskier snorted and felt a surge of fondness. The lies we tell for our children.

It ended up being a joint effort, with Geralt guest starring as The Gruffalo “On account of you being so, well...gruff.” and admitting to a slightly too smug looking Jaskier and a mostly asleep Ciri that “Yes, Jaskier does better voices for everyone else. Especially Mouse.”

"Everything ok? You’ve gone all quiet on me.” Jaskier said from where he had his head in Geralt’s lap as they watched some mindless Netflix show. “I didn’t overstep did I?” He was suddenly frantic, his anxieties bubbling back up to the surface now that he didn’t have a performance and an audience to focus on, “I know you probably just said yes so things wouldn’t be awkward. I probably should have told her no and come up with an excuse but how can anybody say no to that face-“

“Jaskier. It’s fine, honestly.” Geralt said, rubbing his hands up and down Jaskier’s arm in a way he knew calmed him, “I’ve built up something of an immunity to Ciri’s puppy eyes. I would’ve said no if I had a problem with it. I’m just thinking.”

“About?”

“About how I might have a question for Ciri.”

The next morning saw Jaskier seeing both of them off with a hug (also accompanied by fishing a stray cheerio out of Ciri’s hair which he had been too tired to question) before heading back to his city apartment and his job as a music tutor.

“Ciri?” Geralt asked, putting her school backpack by the door as he knelt down to help her button up her coat, “You know how Aiden is Uncle Lambert’s boyfriend?"

It had slowly been killing Jaskier not to check his phone as soon as the text notification came through but he was nothing if not professional and he would not check his phone when he was in the middle of a lesson. Thank the Gods he did wait as he was prettu sure he gave his retreating student a minor heart attack with the squeal he let out at Geralt’s message:

‘Ciri has been proudly announcing to her classmates this morning that Jaskier is her daddy’s boyfriend. Much disappointment from the single mums.’

To put it nicely, It’s widely known that the Pankratz family are very open about who they love. To put it bluntly, they're a family of slut’s

Soon, it’s discovered that every member of Kear Morhen has, at one point been in a relationship with a Pankratz.

Vessimir was in one with Jaskier's Grandmother, apparently even when Jaskier’s father was born. They're looking into that.

Eskel had a minor fling with Jaskier's sister one summer.

Lamber and Aiden were in a threesome with one of Jaskier's uncles

Coen at a one-night stand with Jaskier's brother

Not even Yennefer, who had a brief encounter with Jaskier's cousin.

Currently, Ciri has not been at any meeting with the Pankratz family. Which is probably a good thing since her Jaskier happens to be a distant cousins.

And there, Geralt and Jaskier

I do believe after Eskel left town with Jaskier and Milek they do at least spent a day or two together. Jaskier thinks it's unwise, but he also doesn't like travelling alone anymore, just till they reach the next town... And Milek loves his uncle. Said uncle doesn't have an idea and still adores Milek in return. It's sweet and heart wrenching to watch, for Jaskier.

time to introduce you to...KELL SPADE

he's my interpretation of an EpelDeuce love-child!! a cauldron expy

"kell" is a shortened version of either thorkell (Thor's cauldron) or Eskel (divine cauldron), if twst wont let go off the ironic names then neither will i

he's a bit messy and dirties his uniform alot, whether it be with mud from playing on the field, cafeteria food, apple pie. uncle vil is in dismay 😔 someone keep the fact that Kell got into pormifore a secret or the poor man will have a heart attack

despite his messy habits, many students still somehow assume that he's a well-spoken elegant young gentleman; the genes are working overtime to save his reputation fr

the first time he came home with dyed hair, one of his dad's has a panic attack

deuce's assumptions were wrong, Kell just thought the green streaks looked cool. but deuce still ended up calling mama spade for parenting advice after that

his age in my future drawings will vary and depend on the setting but keep in mind: if i draw him in an nrc uniform, he's a first year!

#i dont think epel would give up his last name #but spade fit kell more than Felmier #im so sorry epel #twst #love child #epeldeuce #twisted wonderland #deucepel #applejuice #disney twisted wonderland #twst fanart #disney twst #epel twst #epel #twst epel #twisted wonderland epel #epel felmier #deuce twisted wonderland #deuce fanart #twst deuce #twisted wonderland deuce #deuce spade #ship child #ship art #disney tw #twistedwonderland #twst original character #twst art #twst oc #kell spade

Eskel's the gay uncle that dances in the kitchen with a bottle of red wine while belting out a slurred, off-key version of Band Aid's "do they know it's Christmas?", while Lambert's the bi disaster uncle that lights the Christmas pudding using the can of Lynx Africa Triss bought him for the friend group's Secret Santa and the match he lit on his beard.
