For Future Reference And Enjoyment

Ok but this gives me an idea: what if the other wolves figured out something was up because all of a sudden one winter, Lambert just stops being able to sleep properly. and when they ask about it (both of genuine concern...and because a sleepless Lambert is a dangerous, and annoying one) he gets all evasive or refuses to give a straight answer.(Eventually after a winter or two of this they do some further investigating and find out about Aiden what happens from there is up to you)

"Fucking, move over, it's too hot!" Lambert grumbled and pushed Aiden away to his own bedroll. Even at night it was unbearably hot, the air heavy with humidity. For a long moment their camp was silent, then Aiden shuffled around and turned towards him. "Hey, Lambert," his voice sounded smaller than usual, "I can't sleep without you anymore." Lambert let out a sigh and turned his head. "Yeah.... Me neither." Their hands found each other, fingers intertwined, connected.

truly, I love the little oh moments and the whispered stay’s in fanfic. I always eat it up and I always will. but you know what’s not appreciated as much as it should be?

the comforting, softly spoken I’ve got you.

every time I read that in a fanfic, it feels like I could run through a fucking wall.

So I don't lose it

My favorite headcannon is that Arthur gifted merlin a purple shirt, indicating a kings favor, without telling him.

Just look at him.

And he has no idea until Gwen tells him why all the other servents are whispering about him.

Always reblog the philosophical blind dog post

it's really weird having a first dog be blind and then getting a second who can see...like how was I supposed to be prepared for this.

this creature can perceive when I put the treats up on the high shelf. or when I hide stuff behind my back. I can't fool her!! she's always watching me and she shouldn't have this much knowledge!!!

I walk around at night and I shine my flash light directly into her eyes and I'll just be standing there staring at her weird blue orbs for like 5 seconds until I realize it's probably extremely annoying to her, because she has eyes!! I'll turn on the light in the room and she gruffs and grumbles like ?? oh right!! light wakes you up!! the fuck??

Hello! Thank you so much for what you do- could I please have some recs for geraskier fics where geralt is the one pining harder?

Here you go!! I wasn't sure how to categorize who was pining harder in all of these (since our boys are masters of longing lol) but these are all stories where Geralt loves Jaskier very much, and I highly enjoyed them all!

favorite by @asweetprologue (Rated G, 5.8k)

Jaskier gets Geralt a gift, and it makes Geralt realize he doesn't know enough about what Jaskier likes. He forms a plan to figure it out.

i’ll kiss you slow by @paintedcrayons (Rated T, 4.9k)

Geralt is not being creepy. He’s not. He’s just looking out for his friend (with a questionable choices in lovers). Lately, Geralt has started to notice the way people treat Jaskier’s affection like a means to an end. They kiss him only to move to the next step, dance with him as pretense to get him into their beds. He would like nothing more than to kiss Jaskier for the sake of it. (He does.)

time and time again by @samstree (Rated G, 5.2k)

Marriage proposals, through the years.

The Best Laid Plans by @dhwty-writes (Rated T, 5.5k)

Geralt is in love with Jaskier. In order to finally get him to admit his feelings, he devises a ten step plan with Lambert, Eskel and Vesemir.

A Friend in the Wild by @samstree (Rated G, 1.6k)

In which Geralt acquires a tiny friend who wouldn't stop following him.

Weak and Wanting by @sociallyawkward--fics (Rated T, 36k)

Geralt had thought that inviting Jaskier to Kaer Morhen after all these years would be a good thing. What he didn't plan on was his brothers deciding to have a little fun with their situation. Lambert and Eskel really needed to stop meddling in things they didn't understand, especially when it came to his bard.

Tell It With Your Heart by @bambirex (Rated G, 2.5k)

While Jaskier always says what's on his mind, Geralt works a little differently. That doesn't mean he cannot tell Jaskier how he feels - he just does that without words.

Repeat After Me by @onwardorange (Rated G, 7.3k)

All it takes is (nearly) three years, two meddlesome brothers, and one exasperated sorceress to get Geralt to admit his feelings for Jaskier.

Love Me Better, Send A Letter by @rebrandedbard (Rated T, 12.5k)

Geralt and Julian have been exchanging letters since participating in an inter-school pen pal program in high school, and Geralt has been pining away for Julian for over a decade since meeting by chance one faithful day in Posada. Between work and Ciri, he hasn't had much time for travelling, but he and Julian still exchange their letters faithfully. Finally, Julian's equally busy life coincides with Geralt's long enough for a short visit, and Geralt has the chance to finally introduce Ciri to the man she knows only on paper. Things would be perfect ... if Julian's visit didn't fall within the week of the concert of Ciri's favorite musician, Jaskier.

Music is no solution by @thecrownprincessbride (Rated T, 4.3k)

Jaskier has self-doubts, and Geralt is there for him.

A Careless Omission by @samstree (Rated T, 5.4k)

Jaskier reveals he has a type. Geralt behaves strangely.

Highway Angel (To the Dark I Said Pour and Forgot to Say When) by @fangirleaconmigo T, 2.8k

Geralt is a long haul truck driver. With long stretches on the road away from his family, and with no one to keep him company but his loyal dog Roach, he has to brave most of his life completely alone. Then one day, just as he is passing the city of Oxenfurt, he turns on the radio and hears a voice.

zero for ten by @yaelathewordsmith (Rated T, 10.4k)

The blue-eyed boy on the school's cricket team seems determined to bowl Geralt out. The worst part is, he isn't even fucking trying. * Or, the ten times Jaskier held Geralt's heart in his hands without knowing, and how Geralt grew to want him to keep it.

Witcher!Jaskiers, anyone?

I’d say something about artistic license and freedom of interpretation, but the reason I got some of these designs to abysmally wrong is actually because I’m Jared, 19. I’m absolutely mortified at my utter idiocy and general sciolism :)

Anyways, the fics are as follows:

All the World I’ve Seen Before Me Passing By by @brothebro - 💚💚💚

Death to the Details by loser bastard idiot man who cannot read (me)

Demand an Encore by @theaceace - with daryshkart’s awesome design bc it’s awesome

Juniper Berries by @wingedquill - i am so sorry but i absolutely did base his design’s colour scheme off of actual juniper berries and now i want to die

How Many Secrets Can You Keep? by @kaermorons - i spent probably far too long trying to decode the descriptions and was halfway done before i realised that it was also probably supposed to be daryshkart’s design and now i feel extra dumb.

You’re all awesome, thank you 💚
