#witcher warlord au

[catscraftsandcommentary]

So I had some time to think tonight at work (in between operating heavy machinery, swearing at the materials, and trying to keep the line running, fun times!) And I asked myself, "self, hypothetically, what might @inexplicifics Accidental Warlord AU look like in another generation or two - once people really get used to witchers being The Good Guys (TM) and helping out?"

And I was like "well, they'd probably get invited to social events - ooh! Who'd like which events best?!? What would that look like?"

Geralt, as we all know, detests anything too formal or Warlord-focused. He enjoys weddings and receptions, but his TRUE favorite is baby christenings. Seriously. Put him in a room with a tiny baby and he's happy as a clam. He'll happily growl away (or weaponize his puppy-dog eyes against) grannies, aunties, and other family members to hold the baby for as long as possible. He's also 90% of the reason that witchers are now rumored to be able to bless babies.

When Mouse and Treyse bring this new rumor to the council, everyone has to just sit. And process for a minute. Because what the ever-loving fuck?!? (Jaskier immediately writes the sweetest lullaby ever, "A Witcher's Blessing", and it is the ONLY song that Geralt ever sings in public, and only ever to babies and small children. Multiple women blame this for their immediate conceptions.)

Jaskier adores weddings and festivals of all types, and if a happy couple includes details of how they met and/or fell in love with their wedding invitation, there's at least a 50% chance that he'll show up to the wedding with a personalized love song, holy shit.

Ciri loves tourneys. Loves watching them, loves displaying in them, loves sneaking into competing in them (omg, heir, NO), loves WINNING them. She's a menace. She has various stealth coats of arms that she rotates between when she's not supposed to be competing, but her favorite is the battle goose. Obviously.

Eskel doesn't like crowds or being the center of attention, which are almost inevitable with public invitations, but he does enjoy being the +1 for his family. Several of his and their interests overlap, and even where they don't, he likes to see them enjoying themselves.

Yennifer becomes well-known as an extremely efficient - albeit terrifying - treaty negotiator. She'll talk to both sides, get a list of their must haves, deal-breakers, would-likes, and don't-wants (as well as - perhaps more importantly - the reason why each of those are on that particular list). Then she draws up a draft and viciously negotiates a compromise. She is genuinely surprised the first time that both sides thank her for her help.

Vesemir, with all his long years of teaching, loves visiting schools and seeing any sort of student performance or sporting event. Kindergarten to university, drama to music to dance recitals to track and field meets to football games to student symposiums to science contests to... He buys out bake sales and funds club field trips and donates several fortunes worth of antique knick knacks to various schools. He's invited as a guest lecturer, a commencement speaker, a competition judge, a referee.

Lambert and Aiden, at some point, discover bachelor's parties, call dibs, and never look back. People learn very quickly not to invite witchers to their stag nights unless they want the entire party to get horrifyingly drunk - but at least Lam and Aiden will make sure that everyone makes it home (or to the wedding) safely. Perhaps not soberly, or sans hangover, but definitely without major injury. (And if the bride asks nicely and the groom and friends weren't total jerks, Lambert can usually be counted on to make a hangover cure. He really is a softie at heart.)

Dragonfly and Serrit get tapped for the odd bachelorette party or ladies' birthday parties. Anything that falls under "I want to be able to drink and party with my friends without worrying about some strange guy hurting one of us." They are extremely protective and have both been drunkenly proposed to several times. (Livi finds this terribly amusing. Gweld just wants to know if he can watch.) Milena and Zofia sometimes go with them.

Milena loves going to wedding showers and baby showers, but outside Kaer Morhen, she has to stay in sight of Lambert or one of his brothers. Lambert's rule. (She got KIDNAPPED, okay? He's allowed to worry!) Usually she'll take Geralt (there might be babies! He's excellent protection!) or Eskel (he's very quiet and has excellent manners, and his signs are impossible to fight) for the more, ah, female-heavy events. If anyone asks, they're her brother-in-law and genuinely like spending time around kids. And very, very married.

Eskel: Guys, since this looks like the end, I just wanted you to know... You are really not the people I intended to die with.

Lambert: Ditto.

Geralt: This is pretty much what I expected, to be honest.

Jaskier: Actually, I'd always planned on the four of us being buried together in a joint tomb.

Eskel:

Geralt:

Lambert:

Jaskier:

Eskel: If we make it through this, you and I are having a serious talk.

Soooo, I'm doing a witchertober this year and kinda forgor to post it here as well, so Imma be posting it when I'm done all at once. But. BUT.

Today I did this cute Letho&Julita moment as a tribute to @inexplicifics and just can't resist. The Accidental Warlord AU was the first thing I read from the witcher fandom, and it holds a very special place in my heart.

Letho: Gets crushed by angry wyvern and stabbed with its tail into his bowels.

Letho: Gets up and finishes it off. Returns to Kaer Morhen.

Healers: Sir you should be unconscious, lie down.

Letho: Nah, I'll just chug down another swallow.

Julita: Lip starts wobbling when she sees him.

Letho: Immediately subdued and lets himself be "fretted about uselessly" as they disinfect, sew him up, counter the poison, etc.

Julita: I baked you a pie to get better.

Letho: Thank you snakelet, that's gonna help so much.

Having recently been in a conversation in the AWAU server about making monster parts into armour, and having read several asks on your blog about Ciri accessorizing with monster parts on the progress, I really want her to have a dress which is covered in sequins made from monster scales/carapaces.

It would be insanely labour intensive, but it would be pretty as hell, and it would absolutely destroy the ego of whoever she wore it to see.

idk, i feel like it'd be fun :>

Ooooh that would be such a powerful move on her part, though. No one else would have anything even vaguely comparable; she'd be emphasizing her connections to the Witchers and setting a fashion no one else could possibly achieve.

I...might know where she could wear it, in fact...

I am not a big fan of AUs. I generally like fiction where the characters are strongly rooted in their time and place, and so a Coffee Shop AU is never going to feel right to me.

So when all my Witcher fic searches threw up the Accidental Warlord AU by @inexplicifics, I spent a long time ignoring it. Because I don't do AUs.

Then I went "well, maybe it's not that bad, let me have a look."

Oh my life, it's SO GOOD. It's a braided thread romance of multiple novellas, with amazing original characters and a great balance of angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, and romantic smut.

And best of all, especially in this fandom: it's still going .

My only problem now is that I've read all of it, and I have to wait for more.

(And that I want to write an Aiden/Sasha ficlet because they are the cutest and so someone should hurt them...)

If you were in @inexplicifics Accidental Warlord AU for a day (or several), what would you do?

Because I'm curious and want to know.

I would probably:

Hug as many witchers as possible, especially the ones old enough to be remember the Path before Ard Carraigh

Double especially Eskel, the man works way too damn hard

Have long talks with Vesemir about philosophy of government and society, because I think his take on it would be FASCINATING

Ask Jaskier to teach me "Ode to Witchers" and "Ciri's Goose Trick" plus maybe some other songs

Boop Geralt on the nose. Possibly while hugging him

Bake HUNDREDS of cookies with Julita (and Melina and Zofia if they wanted), then use those cookies to bribe as many witchers as possible into a giant cuddle pile. Possibly in the library for story time and/or with Jaskier for music!

Go pester the Cranes and make stuff with them - maybe kitchen gadgets? (A dough scoop for the literal HUNDREDS OF COOKIES I'll be making with Julita, for example...)

Teach Lambert to swear in classical Latin, assuming he doesn't already know how (also teach him why those words/phrases are so insulting)

Ask Milena to teach me fancy hairstyles. Offer to paint her nails in return!

Update: someone should introduce Kaer Morhen to new card games. I particularly think Cards Against Humanity Kaer Morhen would be a big hit.

“Me?”

Essi holds out a sheet of paper without a word.

It’s a bulletin board notice. Wanted Alive, it says. The Sandpiper. By order of the White Wolf, Warlord of the North. Below is an engraving of a wolf head, snarling and almost audibly growling.

Fanart of Found At Last In Meeting Eyes by @inexplicifics

Also on AO3. Description of this scene from the fic below the cut.

[Griffin] is standing in front of his throne, the whole court glittering in their finest jewels on either side of the crimson carpet unrolled along the middle of the room, when the portal spirals into existence, precisely on time, and out of it step, first, a quartet of Griffin Witchers who stride smartly two to each side of the carpet and raise their swords in salute, and then, after a breathless pause, the White Wolf himself, Warlord of the North, ruler of Kaedwen, Caingorn, Kovir, Temeria, two thirds of Redania, and the top half of Aedirn, with Lady Marika de Roggeven on his arm.

The White Wolf is wearing stark, ichor-deep black - not armor, for which Griffin is grateful, but not the sort of brilliant finery another emperor might prefer. Lady Marika shines like a star come down to earth beside him, all in white and silver, gleaming with diamonds, her dark hair and eyes like shadows across the face of the moon. Griffin actually loses his breath for a moment. He was aware she is a very pretty woman, but like this, looking so regal and otherworldly that he can hardly believe she is merely human, she is the loveliest creature he has ever seen.
