You can call me Des or Bex, either one. I write witcher fic and meta. I multiship. You can see almost any ship cross the dash if you wait long enough.

I rb any and all Witcher canons (shows/books/games/give me a post about the musical and I’ll rb that too).

WORKS IN PROGRESS

Posada Remix (WIP) Explicit. (Geraskier) Book!Geralt falls through a portal in Netflix land and meets Jaskier in Posada. Spoiler alert: he loves him. 

Keep Me Forever (WIP) Explicit. (Jaskier/Eskel -> poly witchers) Eskel has fallen hard for a sex worker named Dandelion. He brings his new love to Kaer Morhen for the winter.  Will Dandelion be able to thaw the frosty reception he receives from Geralt and Lambert? Spoiler alert: you’d better believe he can.

COMPLETED WORKS

Refuge in Lettenhove. (Geraskier, explicit, 65,556 words) It takes losing Jaskier for Geralt to understand that he loves him, but he thinks he has little hope of making amends. He has lost track of Jaskier and is on the run, protecting Ciri from Nilfgaard. Exhausted, afraid, and wounded, they seek refuge in the court of an unknown noble/resistance leader. When this leader turns out to be Julian Alfred Pankratz, Geralt thinks that maybe there is such a thing as second chances. However, his Lordship is acting as though he’s never seen Geralt before in his life.

Roses are Red (Geraskier, Rated Teen. 1,759) Soft drunk Geralt makes first love confession. He also composes a terrible poem for a very confused Jaskier. In Vino Veritas.

Offerings (Geraskier, Rated Teen. 2683) Secondary Title: Was Anybody Going to Tell Me That Geralt was Courting Me? Or Was I Just Supposed to Find it Out From This Random Herbalist Myself? Geralt has been gifting Jaskier with random bits of herbs and twigs. He isn't going to question it. In fact, he starts hoarding them, as embarrassing as that is. Then one day, he visits an herbalists and finds out that these herbs mean a whole lot more than he realized.

omg for the can't believe it's not fanon: sharing beds & clothes I am fucking DROOLING over this

Avatar

Hey there! Thanks for your vote. :D Alright, let’s make this ask my next installment off...(drumroll please)

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Fanon

Otherwise known as, 

Facts that sound like Geraskier fic writers made them up, but are in fact, book canon.

Today our topic is:

Bed Sharing and Clothes Sharing

So, if there is one thing that Jaskier and Geralt will always do in a Geraskier fic, it’s share a bed in a roadside inn.  Sometimes it’s due to not having enough money. Sometimes it’s a ‘just one bed’ situation. Sometimes they are Just Like That. 

There is also a whole subgenre of fics where they share clothes. Usually it’s Jaskier borrowing Geralt’s clothes. But sometimes it’s the other way around. 

You might wonder whether all of this is a product of the fevered imagination of Geraskier fanfic writers. In TWN we do see Jaskier bathe him in the iconic ‘and yet here we are’ scene, but don’t actually see them share a bed. 

Well, never fear, I am here to put these questions to rest. (sorry I’m tired and loopy tonight, so if I sound drunk that’s why). Ok, so as I’ve said in other posts, in canon, these boys are a domestic unit. I’ve already talked about how they pool their money and manage it jointly. 

So if you’ve been following this series, you won’t be surprised to learn that....

Yep, it’s canon.

This post is about two times Geralt and Dandelion are described as sleeping in the same bed, (featuring an implication that this is a common arrangement) and one time when Geralt is mad at Dandelion, so Dandelion sleeps with someone else. (gotta watch your back, Geralt, folks will swoop in on that bard fast) Oh, and the clothes sharing. I’ll do that too.

This bit in Sword of Destiny (second witcher book) is one of my very favorite Geralt/Jaskier stories.

It has everything (Stefon voice):

  • Dandelion and Geralt acting as a domestic unit/pooling money.
  • Dandelion bullying racists
  • Geralt enjoying it very much
  • Dandelion being a difficult, vain bastard
  • Geralt handling him deftly
  • Geralt's Ethics (tm)

Ok, the story starts off with the fact that they are broke and hungry.

Dandelion shook his head, took off his bonnet, and looked at the witcher with a forlorn grimace on his mouth.
“You mean we still don’t have any money?”
“So it would seem.”

I love how they call it 'our' money and 'we' don't have money. They are very much one domestic unit.

Dandelion made an even more forlorn face. “It’s all my fault,” he moaned. “I’m to blame for it all, Geralt. Are you angry at me?”

So Dandelion is forlorn, hoping Geralt isn't mad at him. I just love when this vain, egotistical, pain in the ass gets all soft for Geralt. Also, Dandelion is at fault, which frankly, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

“No.”
The witcher wasn’t angry at Dandelion. Not at all.

Thankfully, Dandelion's husband isn't mad at him, Even though he deserves it. Why? Well, read on.

Just rbing this since SIRENS OF THE DEEP IS BASED ON THIS SHORT STORY and I wonder how much we’ll get of this.

Currently re-reading Time of Contempt and this is such a Geralt pookie moment 🥹

As I quote:

'Oh heavens, oh heavens,' said Yennefer much later, slowly wiping a tear from her cheek. "..."
Geralt knew that, in moments like this, the enchantress's telepathic abilities were sharpened and very powerful, so he thought about beautiful matters and beautiful things. About things which would give her joy. About the exploding brightness of the sunrise. About fog suspended over a mountain lake at dawn. About crystal waterfalls, with salmon leaping up them, gleaming as though made of solid silver. About warm drops of rain hitting burdock leaves, heavy with dew. He thought for her and Yennefer smiled, listening to his thoughts.

They gave this to Istredd in the show but this is pure Geralt pookieism.

Geralt and his mommy issues

Geralt was abandoned by his mom when he was just a child, leaving him with deep emotional scars. In the books, there are subtle yet significant references to how this abandonment shaped him, particularly his subconscious search for maternal warmth.

SoD:

"She treats you entirely like an object [...] and what you feel is a projection of her emotions, the interest she shows in you. By all the demons of the Netherworld, Geralt, you aren't a child [...] You trail after Yenna like a child, enjoying the momentary affection she shows you." - Istredd

BoE:

"Always on his side, aren't you, Nenneke? Always worrying about him. Like the mother he never had." - Yennefer

Tlotl:

"He maintained the appearance of secretiveness and pride. But at night he was completely in my power. He told me everything. He paid homage to my femininity, which considering his age was extremely generous, I must admit. And then he fell asleep. In my arms, with his mouth on my bosom. Searching for a surrogate for the maternal love he never experienced. Completely in my power." - Fringilla

This passage vividly illustrates Geralt's deep-seated need for maternal care, seeking comfort in a way that echoes the bond between a child and a mother 🥹

SoD:

"'Do you hate that woman, Geralt?' 'My mother? No, Calanthe. A choice should be respected, for it is the holy and irrefutable right of every woman.'"

Geralt’s response shows his complex feelings toward his mother, acknowledging her choice abt wanting to have a child or not, while also - what seems to me - revealing a deep, unresolved pain.

ToC:

"Listen to what?" shouted the Witcher, before his voice suddenly faltered. "I can't leave—I can't just leave her to her fate. She's completely alone... She cannot be left alone, Dandelion. You'll never understand that. No one will ever understand that, but I know. If she remains alone, the same thing will happen to her as once happened to me... You'll never understand that..." - Geralt about Ciri

Geralt’s fierce protectiveness over Ciri stems from his own experiences of abandonment. He is determined to shield her from the pain he endured.

Geralt and red heads:

Several times it's subtly hinted that Geralt has an inexplicable inclination toward redheads, that perhaps ties back to his unresolved issues with his mother.

SoS:

"Geralt felt an anxiety, forgotten and dormant, suddenly awaking somewhere deep inside him. He had a strange and inexplicable inclination towards redheads in his nature, and several times that particular colouring had made him do stupid things. Thus he ought to be on his guard, and the Witcher made a firm resolution in that regard. His task was actually made easier. It was almost a year since he'd stopped being tempted by that kind of stupid mistake."

Note what he felt when he encountered his mother before in SoD who has red hair:

"He looked again, making the most of the light. Her hair was tied back with a snakeskin band. Her hair... A suffocating pain in his throat and sternum. Hands tightly clenched into fists. Her hair was red, flame-red, and when lit by the glow of the bonfire seemed as red as vermilion."

The vivid description of his mother's flame-red hair and the intense emotional reaction it evokes in Geralt suggest that his attraction to redheads might be more than just a superficial preference. It could be a subconscious connection to the unresolved feelings of abandonment and longing for maternal warmth, linking his "inexplicable inclination" to deeper psychological roots.

What do you guys think?

YES these are some of my favorite passages. And just to add, we see how genuinely wounded Geralt is by this abandonment right away, in one of the first short stories compiled in the first book The Last Wish, you see him react in pain to a taunt about his mother. Let me tell you as a reader, I glommed onto that, like I just grabbed it and stuffed it in my mouth lol.

It is in The Lesser Evil (Renfri story). Geralt has had his first run in with Renfri's men. They insult his 'freakishness' and say he should be burned at the stake. A half-elf on the crew is explaining to the others what a witcher is:

"...I told you, a freak of nature. an insult to human and divine laws. They ought to be burned, the likes of him."

Another one also calls him a freak and brings in his parentage, asking

"who spawns you freaks?"

They have said he is an abomination and should be killed. But Geralt isn't upset by it at all. He just calmly and dryly points out that the man is a half breed, and therefore should be a more tolerant person.

"A bit more tolerance, if you please," said Geralt calmly "as I see your mother must have wandered off through the forest alone often enough to give you good reason to wonder where you came from yourself."

That's classic Geralt. Dry, sarcastic, slow to anger, just sort of verbally batting it back to him.

But then the half-elf says something that does get Geralt to show emotion. It is this:

"Possibly," answered the half elf, the smile not leaving his face. "But at least I knew my mother. You witchers can't say that much about yourselves."

THEN we get emotion. It is a physical reaction Geralt can't control, and even though it is subtle, it's enough that these men know they have hit a nerve and they laugh at Geralt.

Geralt grew a little pale, and tightened his lips. Nohorn, noticing it, laughed out loud.

DEFINITELY, this jumped out at me. It shows you immediately that Geralt has soft squishy vulnerabilities, and yes, mother issues.

One wonders why he doesn't seem to have the same kinds of issues about his father abandoning him, maybe because he replaced him with Vesemir as a baby. He calls Vesemir his father in the first book as well, and to him, that's the end of it.

Much to think about. Thanks for this post.

In my mind palace/alternate history to the alternate history, Robin goes home with Ramy.

He travels with him all the way to India just to meet his family, to enjoy their hospitality, and to explore Ramy's home through his eyes. It is joy, because they never imagined that this luxury would be afforded them. Freedom. Solitude together.

Escape from Oxford doesn't exactly change their relationship, but it somehow magnifies it. For all that they know about each other, there are parts they can never quite see clearly, living in a city where Ramy is always performing, and Robin is always hiding.

Mischief, stubbornness, native tongues, old songs, memories, irreverence, childhood passions they laugh to remember, it all bubbles to the surface.

It is the first time Robin understands the word home in a very long time. The lightning and thunder between them rumbles. It transforms. It explodes into fireworks that Robin can hold in his hands, for just a moment.

In a quiet moment under a banyan tree, Robin scoots close to Ramy and says softly, without looking at him, "If I ever lost you, I don't think I could go on".

Ramy says gently, fondly, "There's no need to be morose, Birdie, we are young and free, which means that we are immortal," and he slings his arm around Robin's shoulders.

Robin wiggles closer, against his warmth, and insists that he means it. He can't say what he means, but inside he knows that he has lost so much, he truly thinks that his soul is too damaged, he wouldn't be able to weather it. Ramy is the embodiment of love, the very definition. He is home. He doesn't say it, though. He sits tongue tied. Ramy was always the brave one, not him.

Ramy looks at him quizzically for a moment. Then he promises with a gallant grin that even if he ever dies, he won't leave. He will haunt Robin in his dreams. They laugh, and somehow Robin is reassured. And then after a moment of peaceful silence, Ramy leans over and kisses him.

Brave Ramy.

Beautiful Ramy.

It is Robin's first kiss. Ramy's too. It doesn't matter that it is wobbly and awkward. It is soft and warm and it is love.

Geralt isn't possessive as a rule but I do think if somebody called Dandelion their bard - even if it was a friendly joke - he'd get into a right mood and snit about it and be scowling and short-tempered and sulky for AAAAAAGES because he's gotten so used to people calling Dandy "the witcher's bard" etc so he's like. That's MY emotional support bard bestie actually who the fuck are YOU to be saying this go a-way

Hi friends! So. I did a thing. I was back on the Whiskey with Witcher podcast and I threw down with Tim over fanfic.

What is fic? Why do we write it? Why do we love it? Why don’t we just write original characters?! Why is it often so horny, we go into it all!

I gave recs for Witcher fandom writers, but I don’t remember who because I had a tipsy wave of intense anxiety over leaving anyone out 😂 which is silly because I love so many that by definition I have to leave almost everyone out, unless I sit there and read all 70 names of the writers I sub to. But I managed a few AO3 profiles.

AND I answer questions posed by my tumblr followers. (I think both of those parts will be in part 2), I’ll tag folks when that posts.

Yes there are two eps because as you all know all too well, I am a wordy biznatch.

Come over and listen. And drop any feedback for me in the asks, if you like! We can chat about it.

Part two is up! When I catch my breath (I have to run to work) I’m gonna post again and tag the folks who asked Witcher fanfic related questions that I answered.

So, I wasn't sure about posting this, because my drawing skills are truly mediocre, but I really just wanted to highlight a fanfic by @fangirleaconmigo that has me totally enthralled.

A Witcher Geralt/Jaskier fic that is so beautiful. In it, Geralt dreams of retiring to his vineyard and relaxing with his love, and it was so wholesome, I wanted to draw it.

I wish I was better at drawing (don't look at the lute too closely please), but practice makes perfect, so I'll keep drawing and posting despite it all.

AHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏

I can’t tell you how much I needed this today. Sometimes it really helps to be reminded that there are human beings out there who value your work.

And this art is so freakin sweet, the tilt of Geralt’s face, the vibes are so loving. It really captures the feeling of the relationship between them.

I am so incredibly honored. Art for a fic is just 😭😭❤️ it means so much. My heart is a puddle, thank you.
