How does the great Sandpiper successfully smuggle 130 children out of the Nilfgaard-occupied territory of Hamm? With the power of a forgotten story, a traditional song, and a masterful lie.

A piece for my upcoming fic, The Piper of Hamm, based on The Pied Piper of Hamelin, next in my fairy tale series.

#FINALLY finished this wip from literally TWO YEARS ago and it only took an HOUR to add the background and stuff #my art #my witcher art #witcher #the witcher #jaskier #The Piper of Hamm fic #I'm basically writing all these fics in order on a sticky note #you can see why I haven't gotten around the the Howl's Moving Castle or Stardust AUs yet because of this #TWO YEARS I had this idea #and it is only now being written #my life is pain lmao #but I've never been invested in a fandom this long so I think I've finally found my forever fandom #and the need to write these aus is still strong #so we'll see them one day

hi, first off i really love your art. the h/c and warmth really hit me where i live and your illustration style is fantastic. lately i've been obsessed with the post where an unwell milek thinks geralt will leave him behind. was that an ingrained insecurity, assuming his super-witcher dad wouldn't have time for a sickly human kid?

[MASTERPOST] - Ahh, thank you for the ask! Yes, this scene.. I actually saw this a bit differently! It's not about Milek fearing Geralt will leave him behind, he actually wants him to. They need to find his Pa!! I think he often feels like a burden; Jaskier knows this, but Geralt isn't aware of this yet. Milek just wants to pull his weight, especially with Jaskier. A little sneak peak to their struggles regarding this:

Meanwhile Jaskier continues to struggle with his omega status.

#jaskier #the witcher #geraskier lovechild #julian alfred pankratz #omegaverse #there are various things happening here! a. Milek never really had to fear that Jaskier would leave him he knows he never ever would #b. Jaskier said again and again that he'll always care for him and loves him and that he doesn't have to pull any weight at all #c. Jaskier actually became the parent that just wants his kid to be educated and study and learn #(maybe because he knows Milek won't be able to do hard labour but also because he knows what Milek really wants to do) #(filed under: things I haven't drawn yet but they had their big fallout because of oxenfurt and university - things to come in the future) #d. Milek has watched Jaskier working his ass off in various jobs that he didn't like #(and he thinks that prostitution is the worst but only because they didn't properly talk about it before) #e. Jaskier is struggling with how he is percieved - which I think was never that much on his mind when he was travelling with Geralt #being a carefree bard and giving everyone the middlefinger who had some wrong ideas about what he could do and what not #but this is definitely an AU in which he doesn't have a good relationship with his father and he can still hear him say he'll become #'an unbonded omega with a bastard child working on the streets' and I think sometimes it gets to him #(because Jaskier is king of hating his parents ever being right about him) #that Jaskier kind of wants to spare Milek and quietly hopes we won't become an omega - even if he feels bad about it - shall become plot #(one dayyyy) #anyway that was a very long rant about Mileks complex relationship with him feeling like a burden

Some Modern co- parenting au: When Ciri found herself in a schoolyard brawl, the teacher's immediate concern was for her father, Geralt. Upon learning of the fight, Geralt's first question was whether she had emerged victorious.

The school then attempted to contact Ciri's mother, Yennefer, who, much like Geralt, inquired about the fight's outcome.

Finally, the school reached out to Ciri's stepfather, Jaskier, uncertain about his marital status with Geralt or Yennefer. Jaskier, once again, simply asked if Ciri had won the fight.

At this point, the school abandoned their efforts to get more information.

OKAY SO, IMPORTANT THING, I recently got my hands on Clip Studio Paint and I am still getting the hand of things.

okay, now for the ideas for this-

Both Geralt and Jaskier's designs are a mix of Netflix's The Witcher and the games and some other versions I've seen, PLUS Geralt's pointy ears wich were a spontaneous decision on my part

this came from an idea where Jaskier and Geralt save a young sorcerer/warlock/mage person who gives them the "gift" of shifting into animals(the wolf for geralt and the bird that I made Jaskier into is a Blue-Gray gnatcatcher)

THERE IS A CATCH, everytime they turn into their animal self, although they retain their personality and their knowledge of people they've met, they go off of animal instincts most of the time, although they aren't complete animals since they are technecally still human

Geralt is a very affectionate wolf and Jaskier is DELIGHTED

Bird!Jask keeps bringing Geralt knicknacks like flowers and pebbles and other stuff (in the drawing he is holding a buttercup)

Jaskier's ensamble is blue with a bunch of Buttercups as decoration

[inanoldhousewrites]

thinking about Geralt and Jaskier being best friends in highschool and neither of them exactly knows what their orientation is, but they both know that if the other was interested in them they would go for it, but since neither of them is 'out' neither of them says anything. and after graduation they go to separate colleges and drift apart.

Then years later they meet at a pride event and they're both wearing bi flags and as soon as they see each other, all their old feelings come rushing back. They go home together that night, move in together the next month and are engaged by the end of the year.

#thinking my silly little geraskier thoughts again. i never stopped really #love the idea of them being each other's 'one that got away' and then suddenly getting a second chance #Geraskier #jaskier #geralt of rivia #geraskier #the witcher #modern geraskier au

[ikeepwatchinghelicopters]

Random thought: A Witcher AU where Jaskier is an actor and Geralt does historical european martial arts (I hope that's the correct term; basically he's an expert on old styles of sword fighting). Jaskier gets a role in a big movie set in historical or fantasy setting and he must learn how to wield a sword. At least a bit. Cue Geralt and lots and lots of lessons where Jaskier trying to focus very hard because he's supposed to be a professional, but also mostly failing because Geralt's just way too hot.

#the witcher #geralt of rivia #jaskier #geraskier #maybe jaskier would need to ride a horse too #and since geralt is a horse girl he could teach him #jaskier isn't sure if he's happy about more lessons with geralt or not #more time with geralt means more unrequited pining #(but is it really unrequited?) #anyways #as always #feel free to adopt the au #random thought #fic idea

Prompt #2

There is not NEARLY enough Rapunzel AU fanfics. I'm thinking of mighty witcher Geralt coming across a lone, tall, moss, ivy, and lavender covered tower out in the woods, and being surprised to find a young man imprisoned there. I love the idea that instead of paintings like Disney's Rapunzel used to fill up her time and tower, that instead he sings and makes songs, so there's like.. Lyrics and sheet music scribbled onto the walls.

♡!Optional addons!♡ • Geralt is tracking down an evil infamous mage, of whom turns out to be the captor of this gorgeous musician he found

• Jaskier has blonde hair until it's cut like in Tangled, to call back to his Dandelion roots (hah.. Roots... Like hair... and dandelions..) • We could go the Disney's Tangled route and have there be a lost Prince Julian that Jaskier just so happens to resemble (and secretly is)

• Perhaps Jaskier is physically bound there by magic or chains, Or perhaps he's there out of nothing more than guilt, shame, and/or fear toward the person keeping him there • Perhaps Jaskier is a painter in this universe, and above all, wants to see real buttercups, dandelions, etc, out in the wild, for they don't grow near his tower, and the best he can get is his own paintings of their descriptions in books.

• Maybe if we feel more adventurous, Jaskier could be part harpy, kept in a mage's tower in a birdcage, kept for his magical hair activated by his magical singing (Ooh, this gives me more bird jaskier ideas.. You might see those soon)

• Or perhaps, after Blaviken, a witcher is sealed away in a tower, only for some dumbass (affectionate) struggling bard to stroll across and think it a perfect shelter from the oncoming rain.

Geralt transmigrating into Mobei Jun is hilarious on multiple levels, but mostly it’s just funny because it takes Geralt about as long as everyone else to notice Stuff Not Adding Up. The bad temper, grunts as communication, beating stuff up, and wearing all black mean that no one else notices; the pathetic man tagging along and thirsting after him would at best give Geralt slight pause before going “Oh, another one.” Honestly, even if Geralt transmigrated during the escape from Huan Hua, he’d just think it’s That Time of the Week.

It’s probably not until Linguang-Jun shows up and starts calling him “nephew” that Geralt starts to go 🤨 and then proceeds to grill SQH for info by pressing him against walls and being threatening. (In fact, this may be the only AU where Airplane would genuinely have a hard time playing Spot the Transmigrator.)

This pathetic man might not sing, but he sure makes up stories and words just as easily. He's also equally noisy somehow.

Geralt isn't sure how his bad tempered horse managed to gain a human form, but isn't that his horse emerging from that weird looking set of cliffs? He waves at Cockroach.

(Luo Binghe doesn't know what to make of this ice demon calling him Cockroach but giving him good headpats. He really doesn't know how to feel about this at all.)

Zoom professor Jaskier

- got the Monday morning lesson and has always THE worst morning voice  - regularly fucks up checking the background, sweeping the whole table in a panic because his students were NOT supposed to see this thing- - misses social interactions and is happy every time someone turns on the camera, just childishly so - always has his shirt half unbuttoned because he can - has a 4k camera and never even bothers addressing it. he’s a hoe, deal with it.  - has the worst bedhead/eye bags/sleepy glance - kisses Geralt on screen and does not give one fuck - has found 73 ways to sit on an office chair (including: His chin laying on its rest; sitting on it upside down, his legs dangling off the rest; turning the whole chair upside down and somehow liking it??????? - constantly eats while teaching - manages to adjust the lamp he has over his desk and his students get a full screen view of his crotch area (thank God he put on pants...) - has an actual chalk board at home (he insists he got it for class, but they are all pretty sure he likes to roleplay with Geralt) - creates a special e-mail address for emergency mails and generally talking with students about their mental health during the pandemic, will answer any e-mail immediately, even (or especially?) at the most ungodly hours of the night - skips his own class sometimes - is pretty sure most people aren’t even anywhere close to their keyboard, doesn’t blame them - gets bored easily, constantly has to remind himself he’s supposed to be the adult here - often has a “I’d rather not be here” expression on his face because he doesn’t like teaching online - sometimes forgets about homework and deadlines he gave because he is working with a whole new system when it comes to organising all that and he’s struggling, he has one nerd in his class that helps him out with keeping everything important in mind and he is eternally grateful for them - is very confused because he doesn’t lose things everything anymore, since he can’t leave home, so while he did lose his things, they must be in his general vicinity at all times regardless - Geralt is working in the adjacent room as an editor, Jaskier makes him breakfast, orders them pizza, sneaks over for a quick kiss... He does a fair chunk of making breakfast and whatnot for Geralt, despite the fact that Geralt is not bound to any schedule aside from having to be aware of deadlines and Jaskier having a tight knit schedule for most of the day - Jaskier is not afraid to shout “I LOVE YOU!!” when Geralt is leaving the house. Geralt has been improving on sneaking out very quietly because the students get jumpscared whenever he does it and hate Jaskier for shouting into his mic on accident each and every time

[teatitty]

Okay so I'm generously calling this the Dandy Guardian AU until I think of a better name but essentially this is the rundown [had to put this under a cut because it got long WHOOPS]:

In the book version of events, Dandelion isn't present when Geralt is in Cintra and calls the Law of Surprise, but he does know about what happened. I can't recall if we ever see that convo in text or if it's just background knowledge but that's not important right now

When the Fall of Cintra happens, Dandelion already has his ear to the ground, the walls and the crowds to follow Nilfgaard's movements - Oxenfurt's bards are the best bet anyone has for gathering information about the invading armies because they are spread so wide around the continent and have so many connections

Dandelion's first thought is not to send word to Oxenfurt about Cintra's fall. His first thought is Geralt, and his blasted Child Surprise. He starts tracking his way to Cintra, hoping that he might be able to cross paths with Geralt in the surrounding territories to assure himself that his friend didn't get caught in the middle of that Fall

Meanwhile, Ciri knows she has to find a Witcher by the name of Geralt. She knows he is her destiny. She has no fucking idea where to start looking for him, but she's on the run from Nilfgaard, terrified and anxious and stressed, and in her bag, to her surprise, she finds a well worn copy of a hidden book of Dandelion's poems, all of which are to do with Geralt's adventures. Mousesack had given it to her in secret when she was six, and it had been one of her favourites ever since

She quite forgot she had it in her bag

Cirilla has no idea where to find Geralt. But Dandelion might. Dandelion, she thinks, is her best bet to track her own destiny

And of the two of them, Dandelion isn't a very hard man to find. His bright plumage and singing laughter leaves an easy trail of rumours and tracks to follow. Curiously, whenever she asks about where she might find him, people don't tend to question her. They look at her with sympathy - and sometimes pity - and ask if she has anyone else she can rely on

"No," says Ciri, sombre and trembling. "I only have him."

It's not a lie, exactly, and she's gotten quite good at hiding her aristocratic accent. They point her to when they last heard of his presence. They ask if she needs any help. She thanks them for it, because she is still polite, if angry and confused and oh-so-very lost, but she declines any further company

She goes on.

Every night, she opens up that little book of poems, and tries to imagine what the man described in them is like. It's the closest thing she has to knowing Geralt the Person rather than Geralt the Cursed Witcher

Cirilla is three weeks' worth of travel out from Cintra's borders when she finds Dandelion. It's a little more accurate to say she's dragged over to him - apparently, a blonde, freckle faced child asking about such a famous bard is a quick titter of gossip in the grapevine, and she quickly discovers why it is that nobody ever asked her why she wanted him, and always looked with sympathy or pity at her plight:

Dandelion's hair is blonde. Hers is paler than his own, but he is blonde, like her, and his eyes are bright and clear. His face, though worn and tired, is fair and freckled just like hers, and he is just as surprised as she is when she finds herself shoved in front of him and announced to be his "illegitimate daughter"

"Whoever you got unlucky enough to knock up," says the other minstrel who guided her, "the poor lass seems all alone now. From what I heard, you're the only thing she's got left in the world."

Whatever the minstrel says next is lost to her - for a few aching moments, Dandelion looks panicked. And then something shifts. His face softens. "You look dead on your feet, darling," he says. "Come on, lets get you upstairs and clean you up a bit."

Cirilla doesn't trust strangers. Oddly, Dandelion doesn't feel like one. Perhaps because she has spent so many nights reading his work. Or maybe it's because he's a friend of her destiny. Either way, she quietly follows him up to his room, and when the door is closed, he says, "You don't know where Geralt is, do you?"

Ciri does not.

Her lip trembles. Her shoulders shake. When she finally heaves a sob, Dandelion does not crowd her. But his hands are gentle when he moves her cloak from her shoulders. His voice is soft as he brushes her hair and hums a quiet song

Dandelion never met Pavetta in person. But he once saw her in a painting, and he's seen plenty of Calanthe's likeness over the years besides. Ciri looks a spitting image of them both. Privately, he's impressed at how well she could hide her accent. But she is still just a child, and Dandelion has much more experience with putting on such a performance. He's worn many a different mask with many a different voice over the years, and he had heard traces of her native Cintran beneath the roughness of her croak

Cirilla is alone. But she is also alive, and Dandelion knows, with a confidence born of years by Geralt's side, that his Witcher would never let himself die before finding this girl safe

When the morning comes, he begins to take her North

#the witcher books #dandy guardian AU #dandelion #cirilla fiona elen riannon #this is obviously just a drafted sort of outline to give The Overall Vibe Of The Thing #but there you have it! my idea for an AU where ciri finds our errant bard before she finds geralt #and the two of them travel together to find their misplaced witcher #she's already started using the name 'fiona' for herself btw #which is how she's introduced to dandelion #him picking up on her accent is bc we know he's good at this in canon! #he notices rience's accent in the midst of being tortured and if he can make note of something so innocuous during that #then I bet he's simply got an ear for picking up that sort of thing #also please imagine in this AU that ciri picks up dandelion's sweeping gestures and poetic speech patterns #she's imprinting on him to learn how to be a better actor :] surely this will not cause any problems down the line

*Sighs and climbs out of my hole*

Dinluke Witcher!AU

The covert as the Witcher School of Mudhorns. They're a school that tends to focus on brute strength and force. Paz is the perfect outcome of a Witcher from their school. They all wear metal masks covering their mouths and noses. Din is special.

Din is by all means strong, but he's fast too. He has amazing precision. People look at him and see a wolf stalking his prey, rather than a mudhorn ready to spear them. He's terrifying.

Luke was raised a farmer and he makes beautiful little wood carvings. But he knows he has a greater destiny out there somewhere in the world. And then he meets Din and he finds himself following the Witcher. Din is annoyed at first but eventually dancing around each other leads to them developing feelings.

At some point Din ends up with an elf child for a child of surprise. Luke makes Grogu toys, and Din teaches Grogu sign language.

Oh and somewhere along the line Luke learns he has magic

I'm watching the prequel of Game of Thrones. (It is so dark and I don't mean as a story element. I miss the time as TV shows and movies used better lighting. 😂) In a fantasy world like, GoT, The Witcher or LOTR (idk what you watched) who would Obikin be?

oooo i do have a witcher au (kinda)(in theory) where anakin is a witcher and he stomps into a bar to hear obi-wan, the bard, playing a tune and totally entrancing the whole crowd and also then anakin,

and when obi-wan leaves to go on his little tour to the next town to play some more anakin follows at a safe pace behind him because that voice is so good and that man is so handsome even though he's disregarding his own safety and laughs at anakin's attempts to protect him (because obi-wan looks so much older he thinks this baby is trying to show him the way even though he's been traveling through towns to sing on the off season from oxfam for decades now)

and eventually obi-wan runs into trouble, this group of bandits corner him and are talking shit about how he shouldn't be alone dressed like that in these woods and obi-wan is like ? why would you think i'm alone? and witcher anakin comes barreling out of the trees in kill-mode

#asks #i just love the idea of older bard obi-wan #and witcher anakin who is absolutely wrapped around his snarky exasperated finger #and obi-wan loves him for protecting him and leaving him dead rabbits #if he says loud enough into the “empty” woods 'oh. i wish i had a rabbit to eat :( ' #obikin #witcher au

Modern Au:

After hearing strange noises from the upstairs apartment, Jaskier becomes suspicious of his neighbour, Geralt. Not only was there always a loud thumping noise coming from the room. But once, Jaskier was sure he saw Geralt bringing in piles of hay into the elevator.

In reality, Geralt has been hiding his horse, Roach, in his apartment

Thinkin bout a merlin au where sorcerers get caught and trapped a la genie in a bottle and merlin was trapped by uther years ago and arthur comes across the bottle or lamp or whatever he's caught in and merlin pops out snarky and annoyed like yeah yeah three wishes or whatever but arthur has been so conditioned to see magic as evil that he is like no I am not making any wishes get away demon spawn and like whatever is keeping them in the bottle makes them only visible to the one that summoned them so nobody else can see merlin and arthur is half convinced he's going crazy and this merlin weirdo won't leave him alone and says he can't leave until he makes these wishes but he is not listening because magic is evil and he knows making a wish will corrupt him. But then of course merlin starts seeing the potential of arthur and guiding him to like do the right thing and they start becoming reluctant friends and merlin didn't talk about the whole uther imprisoning him thing because he sort of assumed arthur knew all about that and it's a bit of a sensitive subject but then as they get closer and maybe merlin instinctively saves arthur with his magic (without being asked or using the wishes) and then he tells arthur about it and arthur is like thats horrible I want to fix this and he's like I should use my wishes for that and like wishes idk some things to help magic and Camelot and then he has one wish left and he's like im gonna wish you free but then arthur gets hurt badly enough that merlins magic can't heal it unless he wishes it and begs arthur to use his last wish to save his own life instead of using it to free merlin and arthur is like uh uh nope and pulls a tangled and frees merlin and he's like suddenly visible and arthur dies but merlin is emrys and super powerful and without the bindings he like saves arthurs life with like a magic kiss because merthur rights lol and it's great and emotional and uther is so shocked he has a heart attack and dies the end
