Recommendations

Just a bunch of recommendations of fics, movies, and books

[all-about-that-rec]

I mainly post whatever fics I’ve been reading recently (I don’t write any of them, btw), which means the fandoms are all over the place. If you want fics for a specific fandom/ship/character/etc., you can send me an ask or message and I will do my best to find what you’re looking for (even if I’m not part of that fandom)!

Same goes for books/movies/shows/whatever.

What if Geralt had kidnapped Ciri when she was four months old, and accidentally involved Jaskier in the whole baby-rearing thing?

Or also: the one Geralt and Jaskier spend the winter watching baby Ciri grow, travel half the Continent and fail to part from each other.

Geralt was a wonder to watch. He made faces at her so she could try and mimic him, he guided her little hands over the textured fabrics of Jaskier’s fancy outfits he’d graciously lent them just for this very exercise, and the more he made Ciri laugh, the softer his smiles became. Jaskier was completely addicted to the way his whole face lit up in wonder when she did something new or unexpected.

When Tissaia had mentioned she had a small problem on her hands, Yennefer didn’t think she meant it literally. Yet that is how she found the rectoress holding a babe in her arms, gently rocking it and looking at her with pleading eyes.

And it wasn’t just any babe. No, it was the fucking Lion Cub of Cintra.

---

An alternate timeline in which Ciri had her conduit moment *very* early and was collected by Tissaia for study and safeguarding. And who better for Tissaia to call for help in regards to an adorable baby than Yennefer of Vengerberg, notorious lover of mothers and babes alike.

Ciri has the power to teleport through space. Unfortunately for Geralt this power manifests at birth and is drawn to him, so baby Princess Cirilla keeps zapping between the Cintran court and Geralt's adventures on the Path. It's hard enough to fight off a nest of drowners without suddenly worrying about the toddler that just appeared, playing in the mud behind you.

A music recommendation for today! Jiae was in a kpop group (Wassup) from 2013-2019 and is now a soloist. She has only one album so far, plus a couple singles, and also works as a songwriter and composer. This is the title track and I think it’s my favourite song of hers! She’s not very well known and I only learned of her by chance in a video about queer kpop idols. She came out as bisexual in 2020.

Every time I hear this song, I go a little bit insane. I love it so much!! Please check her out!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms, Game of Thrones (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jaime Lannister/Daenerys Targaryen Characters: Daenerys Targaryen, Jaime Lannister Additional Tags: Future Fic Summary:

They do their best to make their peace unpeaceful. They squabble like hens, clucking and scratching, pecking at one another for little reason. She’s never known someone so adept with a jab or a jape, capable of mixing fondness and scorn so seamlessly. At first it had angered her beyond all measure. She rose to his bait every time, until she was red-faced and impotent with fury at his gall, his temerity. She’d been treated as a queen for too long, it occurs to her now; she’d known how to deal with worship, with love, with anger and opposition, with criticism, even hatred. What she hadn’t known was how to be teased.
