This.

This is why people who stay in my life are neurodiverse like me!

[nottoolateforthegame]

Huh

[thisisnotjuli]

this!! I swear I lost like all my friendships bc of this, like I had a group of friends in hs that one day I realized "huh I haven't talked to this people in a while" and popped in to say hi and they were all awkward?? because they hadn't seen me in a while?? and that's when I realized that friendship works different for them?? I was like yeah I haven't talked to you in like four months but it's not like I've forgotten about y'all why would anything change, and they were all like we haven't talked to you in four months why are you here again acting like nothing happened? and it was really confusing for me

[mimir-bashir]

YEAH! THAT!

Also I have a thing where I just put the people on pause. If I don’t see them or contact them, my brain kinda put them in stasis. I don’t think about them nor misses them, and I stay on what I last knew about them (how they look, what they study/work). So when we meet again I’m like “wait, you’ve aged?” and I have the same familiarity with them thanI had before.

[gender-snatched]

Anyway all my mutuals I haven't messaged in forever - this is why

[official-lucifers-child]

oh my gods this makes so much sense??? there are people who i haven’t talked to at all for literally over a year and we’ll pick up like nothing happened, but for their people it’s just like...... falling apart but onesided???? i think we’re still on the same level but actually we’re strangers??

[link-the-feral-anon]

Ohhhhhh

[imwiremother]

it is pretty annoying how the fandom erases shaggys flaws to make him into a uwu precious scoobie snack babie…like hes a coward that when push comes to shove isnt there to help out his friends lmao

[bopdawoo]

alright, lemme school your dumbass because obviously you’ve never watched scooby doo before

shaggy rogers is a hero

yes, he canonically has anxiety issues, but when it comes down to it, he is there for his friends no matter how scared he is. he cares very deeply for his friends and he would absolutely not hesitate to put himself in danger to keep them safe

in ‘music of the vampire’ when the vampire threatens his friends, shaggy’s first response is to grab a bunch of wooden stakes to attack the vampire with

later in this same movie when he (albeit falsely) believes he’s fallen victim to the vampire curse, he runs away and gets as far away from his friends as possible so there would be no chance of him harming them or inflicting the curse on them as well

and in ‘camp scare’ when the fish monster they’re dealing with hurts scooby, shaggy’s first response was to shatter a two-by-four across its face. watch it go down here, skip to about 1:30

during the climax of ‘legend of the phantosaur’ after struggling with his anxiety for the whole movie, shaggy overcomes it for the sake of saving the lives of his friends and the villains who put them in danger in the first place

in ‘ghoul school’, without any help from fred, daphne, or velma, shaggy saves the lives of several monster kids, and in ‘reluctant werewolf’ when he’s cursed to become a werewolf, he wins back his humanity in just under two days, again without help from fred, daphne, or velma

hell, the whole plot of ‘goblin king’ was about shaggy and scooby travelling into the realm of monsters, the very things he’s afraid of mos, so he can save his friends from being turned into monsters themselves. and he does save them

and those are just the examples i could think of off the top of my head!

shaggy is as essential to the gang as everyone else is. he’s the one who repeatedly throws himself headfirst into the path of the monster of the week to lead it into fred’s traps, despite his anxiety issues, because he’s the only one fast enough not to get caught. fun fact! he’s won multiple awards in high school for gymnastics and athletics. he isn’t just all about fear and food. he’s a friendly, caring person who would do anything for his friends, and on top of all this?

he’s only seventeen. of course he’s scared, he’s just a kid.

tl;dr, shaggy rogers is more than his anxiety

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

canonically, shaggy and scoob have dealt with more real monsters than the entire gang.

the mystery gang tends to unmask humans. The exceptions (authentic monsters, zombies, witches, ghosts, etc) are in certain movies. some of which (Zombie Island, the Witch’s Ghost) involve the full gang. Others (Ghoul School, Reluctant Werewolf, the Boo Brothers) have Shaggy and Scoob (and Scrappy) on their own adventures. 

oh hey and in ghoul school, looking for some peace and quiet, they get hired as gym teachers at a school for girls, that turns out to be a school for ghouls. Despite being terrified,  

they stay, become fantastic teachers, inspire their students and lead them to victory in the volleyball champion, and then risk their lives saving the students from an evil witch and spider minions. 

oh and they befriend an adult mummy, vampire, wolfman, and phantom along the way

not to mention whenever they hang with the rest of the gang, they invariably get used trap bait against their expressed wishes. but still they stick around

oh, and despite their reluctance, scoob and shaggy regularly play some of the most vital roles in the gang’s adventures, to the point the movie posters regularly feature them as the most prominent members. the rest of the gang may provide the motivation, but shaggy and scooby are the lifeblood of the show:

conclusion: Shaggy Rogers and Scoobert Doo have enormous hearts that lead them to face their greatest fears on an almost daily basis for the sake of protecting those they care about.

PROTECT AND APPRECIATE SHAGGY ROGERS

[littlegoddesshestia]

Also, THEY ARE ALWAYS RUNNING AROUND LIKE CRAZY AND DOING SUPER DANGEROUS STUFF. THEY ARE BURNING MORE CALORIES THAN THEY HAVE IN THEIR BODIES. OF COURSE THEY’RE GONNA EAT LIKE CRAZY. IF THEY DON’T EAT CONSTANTLY THEY’LL DIE.

[imwiremother]

im currently kinning jared 19 

[de-la-tierre-a-la-lune]

Also the mystery machine was originally Shaggy’s but he gave it to Fred because he’s too anxious to drive more often than not. Miss me with this fake as shit about my favorite guy.

[mageknight14]

In this house, we stan Norville “Shaggy” Rogers.

[thebesthuntingdog]

Shaggy would be a great Green lantern

[spiffylindster]

He actively supports his friends interests even if they are outside of his own and when presented with opportunities to call out one of his friends on their occasional b.s. he typically keeps his personal knowledge to himself because he cares about them and doesn’t want to cause them embarrassment. Per the comics his support is why the rest of the gang managed to be comfortable with themselves enough to follow their various quirky interests which is why Mystery Inc is able to exist in the first place. There’s also the fact that while the show makes his fears comedic, they are in reality completely legitimate. Shaggy knows real dangerous monsters exist, he knows the supernatural is real, and he knows that people with or without masks can be dangerous. It is canon that he has been dealing with this stuff since he was at least a toddler. Not only do villains constantly chase him and try to capture him, occasionally succeeding, they have also tried to shoot him, stab him, drown him, push him off of ledges, blow him up, run him over, suffocate him, freeze him to death, smash his skull in with blunt objects, burn him alive, seal him into a wall, run him off the road while driving, toss him out of planes while in flight, trapped him with large, hungry, predatory animals in hopes that the animal would kill and eat him, etc. and that’s just off the top of my head. 

He has watched friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers be nearly killed and often was the one who jumped into the fray to keep that from happening. Despite Daphne often being referred to as a damsel in distress character and her alliterative Danger Prone Daphne nickname, if you watch the various series and movies, Shaggy is actually the most danger prone, most frequently captured, and also most often injured character in the series. Yes, he often jumps at things that end up being innocuous, but ptsd and anxiety are real things, and let’s be honest, if all of the above was my every day life, I’d be pretty darn jumpy too. Shaggy is the voice of reason in the group. When the gang is inevitably informed that some giant beast in the area has been rampaging about causing destruction, and kidnapping and/or trying to murder people, he has every right to voice concern over intentionally going out to search for the thing, especially when he himself attracts that danger and the supernatural more than anyone else in the gang, including Scooby. If a pathway looks dangerous and he points it out, everyone else will roll their eyes and keep going and he’ll inevitably follow them and its his feet it ends up crumbling under. His completely valid concerns are constantly dismissed and he’s usually the one who ends up suffering the consequences for it. And while I agree he would make a great green lantern, he was in canon a pretty awesome yellow lantern.

There have been many hints throughout the series that Shaggy actually obliviously wields magic and Scooby is his familiar, which was basically made canon in Goblin King and there was a gag about it in a Be Cool Scooby Doo episode. Read more about this 

here and here also here and lastly here

In the above comic, Shaggy manipulated the ring without even trying while Sinestro was both wearing it and actively trying to wield it, and then it flew off of Sinestro’s finger and onto Shaggy’s.  As his familiar, Scooby is affected by the ring too. Sinestro freaks out about them having the ability to both cause and instill the greatest fear of all. There’s another team-up comic with Green Arrow and Green Lantern where Psycho Pirate shows up and uses his ability to cause the rest of the gang to feel sheer terror and flee, this has seemingly no affect on Shaggy and Scooby because that’s just their normal state.

The big takeaway here is that despite all of the perfectly legitimate reasons to be scared listed above, the yellow lantern comic suggests that the primary reason Shaggy is actually afraid is that he’s been taking his ability to cause and instill the greatest fear of all and subconsciously inflicting all of it on himself (and unwittingly on Scooby as well due to their connection). He has stated that his greatest dislike is being afraid, so he’s basically wielding the feeling he dislikes most in the world at epic proportions onto himself because he would never want anyone else to have to feel that way, all the while still managing to investigate spooky places, find clues, solve mysteries, be a good friend, act as bait, and throw himself into danger for the sake of others. So yeah, Shaggy is a hero and his friends should give him all the hugs because he sure as heck deserves them.

[the-human-sharpie]

I really want to contribute to this thread but all I can think of is Shaggy saving the wax voodoo dolls of Fred, Daphne, and Velma (although he and Scooby didn’t exactly recognize what they were at first) from being melted and/or used to injure or kill anyone and throwing the wax figures of the werecat trio into a fire to save the gang in ‘Scooby Doo on Zombie Island’

(just for some context bc it’s been a while since I watched zombie island)

Like, yes, Shaggy is controlling Daphne’s actions with the doll, but look at how gently he holds the figure. He treats it like his friend (and yes, it technically is) because he cares about the rest of the gang. This bit was mainly for comedic relief, but it also shows how serious this situation and the voodoo dolls actually were in the film.

And really, if you saw some Karen-Linda-intimidating-employer/CEO looking lady turn into this, wouldn’t you be at least a little unnerved?

[the-human-sharpie]

Also: Shaggy has to have a lot of physical strength and endurance or just have a higher adrenaline output than most (via anxiety and ptsd due to being used as bait and all) to be able to run away as fast as he does. And nearly everyone who’s ever seen or heard of Scooby Doo knows that thing that Shaggy and Scooby do(o) — hehe — where Shaggy ends up holding Scooby when they get spooked or chased. Scoobert Doo is a Great Dane. Male Great Danes can be up to seven (7) feet tall on their hind legs, and on average, they weigh about 120-200 lbs (54-90 kg). That’s a big dog.

(just for reference)

And Shaggy will sprint with Scooby in his back in most (if not every) episode.

[plush-anon]

just to add on to this thread of amazing physical feats one norville “shaggy” rogers has accomplished:

he’s pushed a boat filled with the gang + madelyn + scooby across a lake, RUNNING ON WATER WHILE HE DOES SO (Abracadabra-Doo!)

and, if we estimate the dinghy at roughly 150-175 lbs (usually the weight for a boat this size that can easily fit 6 people), and Scooby at 200 lbs even (given that when he rode on the back of a mule alone, he caused it to collapse under his weight in SD & the Monster of Mexico), Shaggy is not only propelling himself fast enough to RUN ON WATER, he is also pushing the rough equivalent of 1000 pounds of weight across the water, at fast enough speeds to rival a motorboat

in SD Camp Scare, he also shook the metal bars of a prison cell so hard, that they broke apart and collapsed entirely, even though they were embedded in stone

and to those saying ‘well, he can’t repeat those feat bc those are oneoff deals’, oh shit you thought???

here are TWO separate occasions of Shaggy running UP rocks and LEAPING UP to different ones to escape a pit.

the first in Legend of the Phantasaur

the second in Where’s My Mummy

WHILE CARRYING SCOOBY IN HIS ARMS

THE BOY IS AMAZING AND WONDERFUL I WILL TAKE NO FURTHER OPINIONS AT THIS TIME

[officialmacgyver2-deactivated20]

[jooshthepunished-deactivated202]

Theory: Shaggy is an anime protagonist that got stuck in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon universe.

[abstractedthinking]

FUCK YES

[theilluminantsystem]

That makes shaggy an isekai protagonist.

[therobotmonster]

I’ve long said Shaggy is basically a Shonen hero. He has a vast hunger, is motivated primarily by friendship and basic emotional reactions, and maintains the kind of training (albiet inadvertantly) of a shonen hero, running constantly with a giant dog in his arms. He simply has an entirely defensive fighting style built around running, evading, and tricking his foes. 

None of this clashes with an innate or learned magical background, etiher.

[heavenly-dusk]

Ozai dies while Zuko is still in recovery. The investigation is relentless, but a killer is never found, until the new Fire Lord Iroh finally, in a mournful tone that only some believe, puts a stop to it. There are rumors of foul play on his end. No one dares to speak them.

What they don’t know:

Iroh is sitting by Zuko’s bedside, unable to look at the bandages around his eye without shaking, when Azula enters clean of blood but for the still-wet splatter on her clothes. She doesn’t acknowledge his presence at all, as she coos her to her brother’s unconscious body, “You’re safe now, Zuzu. I took care of it.”

No other words are exchanged in the room that day. Azula is eleven years old and cleverer than everyone in the palace, with friends as protective and dangerous as her, and Iroh has never seen eye-to-eye with her niece, but he at least understands this.

Zuko asks about his father only once.

Azula lies.

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

A collection of fics I’ve read (/reread) and thoroughly enjoyed in the past week-ish from all kinds of fandoms and genres.

The Umbrella Academy

✩ Give into the Given by Rays (Note: The scene where Five gets drunk has been living in my brain rent free All Fucking Week)

“Fuck,” Klaus breathed, skidding to a stop, his hands shaking. “We stopped the apocalypse!” Like it had finally dawned on him what happened, Klaus looked relieved and in complete awe. Five was sure this was the appropriate response for saving the world, for completing the mission he has been on for decades, but he couldn’t feel it. The only thing Five felt was the crushing weight of an overwhelming panic that threatened to swallow him up and never bring him back.

Or: what if they didn’t blow up the moon?

✩ taking it slow (that’s how it goes) by Inkrivers

“Mr. Pennycrumb.” Five said like Diego was an idiot. It was how he usually spoke to Diego. He had such a loving brother. “That’s his name. What are you doing with him?”

“Is he yours?” Diego stepped closer. The dog started to squirm the closer he got to Five and Diego put him down on the ground. The dog immediately ran over to Five and started pawing at his knees.

“Mr. Pennycrumb is a friend of mine. He’s the only source of intelligent conversation to be found in this house.” Five declared, calmly bending down to stroke at Mr. Pennycrumb’s dirty fur.

Or: Five times Five introduced Mr. Pennycrumb and the one time he didn’t have to.

the war is over, we are beginning by Karturtle (karturtle) (Note: I’ve been wanting a “Five rescues Dave for Klaus” fic for so long and this fic delivered)

The sun was setting and evening was beginning to cast shadows on everything. Soon there was nobody left on the battlefield but the bodies and the blood. Nobody left to notice that, accompanied by a flash of blue, there was a small young man in a blazer crouched low to inspect one of the corpses left behind. More specifically, his dog tags.

(The Hargreeves are slowly beginning to fix things after averting the apocalypse, but Five notices that something is still broken.)

The Five Vetting Process by jaz_hop (Note: Ngl I love Five being a little bastard with no boundaries, only love)

In which Five is incredibly invested in the love lives of his siblings, because they’re obviously too stupid to choose anyone worthy enough to be their partner. Otherwise known as Five being stupidly over-protective, and incredibly invasive in the hopes of keeping his siblings safe and happy… even if he is being a stalker and a dick about it.

brother by Karturtle (karturtle)

A few small glimpses into Number Five - The Boy.

(snippets of trans!five that i wrote ages ago and never posted anywhere)

We Only See Each Other at Arrests and Bails by Icestorm238 (Note: WHY are there not more identity reveal fics like this, the Hargreeves’ situation is perfect for it)

aka the five times Diego picked up Klaus from the police station, and the one time Klaus picked up Diego.

Harry Potter

If we can’t find where we belong, we’ll have to make it on our own by Biromantic_Nerd

Neville’s shoulders hunch further. It’s not just his hands that are shaking now; his entire body trembles.

It’s not fair. And, when push comes to shove, Harry always has been a Gryffindor through and through.

(AKA sometimes it’s easier to be compartmentalize your own abuse than someone else’s; life isn’t fair to Harry but that doesn’t mean he’ll allow life to be unfair to his friends)

Walking Side By Side by lucy_blue

People talk about brushes with Death. Harry’s had “brushes with Death” so many times they might as well be holding hands.

Ten times Harry interacted with Death.

ATLA

heirloom of the heaviness we’ve known by jublis

He thought he was so much, Zuko thinks, his eyes never leaving the tapestry. He thought he would be remembered for something great.

“When Fire Lord Sozin started the war,” Zuko says, voice surprisingly firm, “he destroyed every piece of history that came before him. He rebuilt the Fire Nation under his image, and by doing that, he rebuilt what qualified as truth. He erased everything he considered weak, everything that could be interpreted as a wrongdoing or a failure. It didn’t fit with his narrative of our country. He thought that by destroying the shame of the past, he’d guarantee the glory of the future. And he was wrong.” Zuko takes a deep breath. “I don’t want to make the same mistake as him.”

Or: what it means to make history. Featuring Toph’s enthusiasm for destroying property, Aang being allowed to have negative emotions, and Zuko figuring out life.

the family we choose by natlar

An unexpected visit from the Avatar leads to Hakoda realizing that Zuko is, in fact, his soul-son.

Blease look at my very angry baby

[h-ibiscus]

Hey everyone else in the notes, I’m the grandson of a professional cat judge and breeder and you literally have to just. Hold cats. To make them used to being handled. Like, they’re gonna get pissed but you’re not hurting them At All I promise. This lil guy is just miffed he’s not being hurt and he’s not thrashing out he’s just an angry baby pls calm down

[edalynn]

Just so y’all know here’s the same cat 7 months later :-)

[deadmomjokes]

Yeah, literally all cats have to be socialized or they’re going to be feral. Every kitten starts off as a ball of fury and prickles, it’s just how they are. Hold the grumby babies and they get over it and realize that you’re actually Pretty Cool. It helps if mama is around to make the babies go see you even when they’d really rather not, but even so, they’re just like this and you gotta hold them anyway.

Fic Recommendations!

Here are my recs for this week(ish), frens! See here for my last recs. Remember to click kudos if you reach the end of a fic, and comment if you enjoyed it! Primarily Geraskier because that's what I had time for.

river fortunes by @owillofthewisps

Pairings: Jaskier x Reader, Teen+

Fortune's notes: I'm actually not a huge fan of self-insert fics, but Bee is one of the few exceptions to this rule. Her writing is so warm and poetic. I've always loved this piece, whereupon Jaskier is soft and lovely and sffdffg, where's my bard??

ages and ages by @witchertrashbag

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier, Explicit

Fortune's notes: Trashie writes excellent smut, and her characterisation is wonderful. I come back to this 7 part fic every now and then - in which Geralt totally doesn't listen to Jaskier banging, and he's totally not Geralt-y about it.

Defining the Scent of Arousal by CarmillaCarmine

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier, Explicit

Fortune's notes: A smut fic in which Jaskier uses Geralt's vibrating medallion to their advantage because he's a saucy genius. Spicy!

Deep Calls Unto Deep by stonecoldsilly

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier, Explicit

Fortune's notes: Fair warning that this fic is unfinished (for those that like to wait). I'm utterly besotted with this one, because it's heavy pining miscommunication angst and that's my fave. There's no comfort (yet) but it's coming, I believe! It hurts so good.

Ring True by RebrandedBard

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier, Mature

Fortune's notes: Jaskier finds a lovely silver ring that causes him a bit of bother. A sweet feelings realisation fic in which the lads are soft af.

love is an unlocked door by Heronfem

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier x Yennefer, Teen+

Fortune's notes: Written for a flash fic contest (and iirc, the winner!). Geralt is given a key that opens all kinds of doors for him. Sweet, light-hearted, and fun.

Bounce a Coin Off Your Witcher by Llama1412

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier x Yennefer mention, Explicit

Fortune's notes: A hot liddle fic where Geralt and Jaskier are pressed together in a small space. Naughtiness ensues. Feat. A lovely snippet at the end with Yen. Just sexy af.

Jaskier's Best Bad Decision by ravenbringslight

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier, Explicit

Fortune's notes: Jaskier feigns a relationship with Geralt, and ends up getting exactly what he wants. STUFF THE BARD. Smutty spicy!

Quiet by didoandis

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier, Explicit

Fortune's notes: A perfect blend of angst and smut. Jaskier gets spelled disadvantageously, and the boyes must deal with it. Love the character voices!

compromise by @goldandlights

Pairings: Geralt x Jaskier, Explicit

Fortune's notes: Intercrural sex, anyone? A scrumptious established relationship smut one-shot by Heyriel. Aw yiss.

That's all I got for ya! Enjoy, and leave the author/s some love -- it might result in more fic for you. (The 1 trick to get authors 2 write; dermatologists hate it)

Putting Infinity into Words by redrobin1989

Soul Mates have evolved with quirks to become Soul Bonds in which one feels the entire emotional spectrum and a fact about their future relationship. Or so Izuku had heard, he’d only ever two Soul Bonds and they both caused him pain. Until All Might and Yuuei and he finally learned what it was like to have a loving, thriving Bond.

Honesty’s The (Best?) Policy by honeyandsunshine

“Disorientation is one of the quirk’s side effects, along with dizziness, confusion, and flushing later on. He’s going to tell the truth the entire time, but the truth may be…” Aizawa stares exasperated at Midoriya before running a hand through his hair. He mutters something under his breath that sounds distinctly like goddamned problem child, before continuing. “It may be slurred and difficult to understand.”

Hanta does his best not to stare. He does not think his actions are convincing to anyone.

“So it uh… I mean, it’s like…” He eyes Midoriya’s disorderly movements. “He’s… drunk?”

– OR:

Aizawa is tired, Midoriya gets drugged, and Sero uncovers some uncomfortable truths about his friend’s past.

Between a Rock (And a Hard Place) by honeyandsunshine

Midoriya’s past is minefield just waiting for the right trigger. Todoroki’s present isn’t any better. Iida gets caught in the middle.

Or:

“You can’t tell Aizawa-sensei. You have to promise me you won’t tell him.”

Something builds in Tenya’s chest.

“I-“

“Promise me, Tenya.”

What else can he do?

“I- I promise.”

rust and fur and reception sticks by rexcorvidae

Remus Lupin was 22, and broke, and barely capable of taking care of himself. These were things that he knew. But he knew this, too: He could not allow Lily and James’s son to stay in that house. - remus makes an impulsive decision, and has to deal with the consequences. he doesn’t regret it nearly as much as he probably should.

A Baptism of Fire by azenki

[A baptism of fire: a difficult introduction to a new job or activity.]

Crown Prince Zuko’s introduction to his new role as exile is difficult indeed. Chin Zun only wishes he didn’t have to watch.

Or: there were citizens at that Agni Kai. Chin Zun is one of them.

The Witcher

of music and motion and love by WriteThroughTheNight

When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)

OR

Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.

so can we pretend, sweetly by theredtailedhawkwithjewelsforeyes

Jaskier is a regular human bard, and Geralt could swear that yesterday he’d had regular human teeth. They’re just a little bit too long for his mouth, now- too white, too sharp. A predator’s. Jaskier clicks them together, experimentally, and winces when he bites his tongue. “Fuck anyone you weren’t supposed to?” 

“I don’t fuck anyone I’m supposed to,” Jaskier says, a little proudly.

I Know The Kindest Thing (Is To Never Leave You Alone) by WinterSky101 (+ podfic)

Geralt worries about Jaskier’s mortality. Jaskier finds out that witchers are, apparently, incredibly stupid.

(Honestly, how did Geralt not notice that Jaskier didn’t age for decades?)

all some children do is work by some_stars

It’s two children, he realizes as they slowly sit up. They look about eight or nine, not that he’s much judge of children’s ages. One is a girl, dark-haired, in a shabby dress. The other is a boy. His clothes aren’t much better, and his hair isn’t much lighter than the girl’s, but his eyes—

His eyes, Jaskier realizes with a distant sense of horror, are gold like a cat’s. His mind makes one more valiant effort to keep from connecting the obvious dots and recognizing them, and then it finally does.

“How in the unholy fuck,” Jaskier says to no one, “did this shit happen?”

[musinglymuse]

A grumpy witcher meets a gregarious bard: opposites attract, destiny intervenes. Their friendship spans literal decades, fertile grounds for ample amounts of fanfiction to take root in. The tales of Geralt and Jaskier has it all: joyful meetings, heroics, drama, japery, heartbreak, and sorrowful partings. Just how many songs can a bard make from that? 

I’ve compiled some of what I consider excellent fanfics that feature this pairing although it does not contain all of my recommendations. They are listed in no particular order. I plan on creating more recommendation lists in the future and may do so for other fandoms. Please check my blog for other recommendation lists.

As a reminder, please make sure to check the tags and any warnings before reading. Take care of yourself!

Heat, Wait, Steep, Repeat by Haicrescendo

[Zuko’s greatest failing, not his only but just one that stands out the most in a very long list, is that he’s never known quite what he had until it’s gone. Or, on the opposite hand, he covets the things that don’t matter, that seem to matter so much at the time and turn out, in the end, to be something that Zuko’s made up in his head.

And then Zuko finds, of all things after it all, that he misses Uncle Iroh’s tea.]

Or: Zuko screws up his life and in the process of fixing it, figures out some tea wisdom along the way.

enmity (isn’t for heroes) by blueseam

Part 1 of new ways

Zuko stands to leave, only to waver, swaying just a little. His blood pressure shifts, and Toph can feel what’s about to happen a moment before it does.

“Someone catch him! He’s gonna –“

With a crash, the dish tumbles from suddenly limp fingers, and Zuko crumples to the ground.

“…faint,” Toph finishes.

-

The Gaang’s journey to trusting Zuko is anything but smooth.

(Slight AU after Boiling Rock)

A Second Chance by araluen_x

Aang’s energybending fails, and the war is lost. But before the gaang can blink, they wake up in the past, on the day that Katara and Sokka found the Avatar.

The war’s a lot easier to win when your biggest enemies are on your side from the beginning.

Ft. the gaang’s antics, loads of dramatic irony, and literally the entire Fire Nation being confused as to why, when, and how the banished prince got happy emotions and friends

Harry Potter

Flashes From a Brighter Time by noqueenbutthequeeninthenorth

1986: After Harry’s power starts manifesting, the Dursleys want nothing more to do with him. Dumbledore decides to find someone better suited to raising him.

“I thought perhaps you might raise Harry.”

“Me?”

“Who better? I had my reasons for sending him to the home of his relatives, but I am not so hard-headed an old man that I can’t admit when a plan is not working.”

The Witcher

The god of scraped knees. by spqr (+ podfic)

Jaskier’s been pretending to be human for so long now that he hardly remembers what it feels like to be a sorcerer. He doesn’t want to remember what it feels like to be a sorcerer. But people still murmur his name with reverence in certain dim halls; Dandelion, Dandelion, destroyer of worlds. 

The Witcher Wolf by im_fairly_witty

It’s been two weeks since Geralt shouted Jaskier away from him on that mountain and Jaskier has been handling it like a champ by forlornly wandering alone in the wilderness with his lute. When he (literally) stumbles across an injured white wolf he decides to take a chance and see if he can help it, appreciating the irony of the situation but not quite realizing why it is that the wolf’s golden eyes look exactly like his Witcher’s…

Untamed

You, Asleep and Dreaming by etymologyplayground (+ podfic)

Wei Wuxian chuckles and starts pushing Lan Wangji’s outer robes off his shoulders. “Poor Lan Zhan, subject to such earthly miseries. You must be exhausted, come to bed, come to bed.”

“Mm,” Lan Wangji says. He raises his arms so that Wei Wuxian can keep undressing him. His clothes will end up on the floor, but no matter. Wei Wuxian’s deft hands at his belts are worth wrinkled robes.

“… Goodness, Hanguang-Jun, you wear too many damned layers,” Wei Wuxian tells him after a while. “Would it kill you to stop after a reasonable five?”

–

Wei Wuxian moves into the Jingshi. They sleep together.

sugar stains by lanjingyeet

Jiang Wanyin’s face slowly takes on a kind of horrified expression that Lan Wangji would find funny if it wasn’t for the fact of the actual situation. He’s clearly noticing all the same things Lan Wangji did that first time: the same slope of nose, the light in the eyes, the messy mop of hair. Jiang Wanyin, after all, was far better acquainted with Wei Ying around this age than Lan Wangji was.

“Hanguang-jun, what the f—”

more recs! because i have a problem but it’s a good problem! i’ve never been that guy in the fandom whose only contribution is making copious amounts of fic recs but guess that’s me now!!

A Certain Kind of Bravery by Shinybug

In which Jaskier talks too much, revises some history, and explores the idea of courage with Geralt’s help. Not necessarily in that order.

Familitas - sospes

After Sodden, Yennefer goes to ground to lick her wounds.

Except then Geralt finds her with a Child Surprise in tow, and then he goes and finds his bard, and somehow Yennefer ends up with a life that she never expected to have.

What Remains - sospes, character death

After, Yennefer watches Geralt grieve.

To You Always by autoschediastic

Long life has taught Geralt patience, Jaskier is not nearly as drunk as he thinks he is, and every man has their limits.

“What are you doing?”

“What am I doing,” Jaskier mocked sourly as he scrubbed. “What does it look like I’m doing. I’m not about to make love to you stinking of roast mutton and cheap perfume!”

As Jaskier surfaced from rinsing soap from his face, Geralt said reasonably, “There are worse things than mutton.”

“I’m not going to make love to you stinking of those either!”

Trust by @funkzpiel

There were two long, deep, tumbling lines stretching all the way down the side of the cliffside – one far larger than the other and streaked crimson in great bursts – and at the bottom he spotted them: a werewolf and a witcher. Both still as death. The world fell silent, or perhaps it had always been silent and it was Jaskier that had been stunned to quietness in every sense of the word. He could see wind stir the grey, metallic fur of the beast even from as high up as he was, but he couldn’t hear the wind. Couldn’t feel it. His skin felt tight and staticky with dread, clammy and cold. His heart beat so fiercely against his breast that he could feel it swaying him minutely on his feet.

At the End of the Day by Gigi_Sinclair

Even after all their time together, there’s a few important things about Jaskier that Geralt has overlooked.

500 Crowns by @vands88

Every year, Jaskier finds himself singing at Cintra’s court, watching Geralt’s abandoned Child Surprise grow up.

Redwood and Dandelion by sharkhette

“The Witcher’s bought a room for the night, and says he’ll pay double for anyone who can bed him without stinking of fear the whole time.”

“Oh, I’ve fucking got this,” Jaskier promised. ____________

Or, the one where Jaskier works in a brothel and falls head over heels for the stoic, not-actually-that-scary Witcher who comes in requesting his services.

Geralt doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.

and still i will live here by @notquiteaghost

“If life could give me one blessing,” Geralt snarls, “it would be to take you off my hands.”

And, really, Jaskier isn’t an idiot. Was standing just here, unwilling audience to Yennefer taking out her own grief on the nearest target, and while he’s long run out of patience for playing mediator to that disaster, he isn’t going to sit by and let Geralt cope with one of his loves pushing him away by taking the initiative and pushing the other away first.

Honestly, the nerve of it! He can’t hold it against him, he knows, but as if he would ever willingly leave. It’s been twenty years, what would he even do.

Do It Again by @geralt-jaskier

By the twentieth time Geralt has gone through the loop, he decides to just throw himself off the cliff’s edge after Borch.

He wakes up to his twenty-first attempt.

“Fuck.”

Good Intentions by @toyhto

Geralt protects Jaskier from sleeping with anyone. He’s not sure why that’s so important.

Forget Me Not by @im-fairly-whitty

Geralt is eighty five years old when he meets his soulmate for the first time in a dream.

He knows it’s a soulmate dream too, he’s never dreamt anything nearly so vivid or calm, only ever having had muddled nightmares if anything at all. But now he finds himself standing in a field of wildflowers, a slight breeze brushing over the loose black shirt he’s wearing. An unseen sun warms his skin in the perfect pleasantness of a calm summer’s day.

And All My Stumbling Phrases by @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

Geralt may not know how to say things, but that doesn’t mean he can’t find a way to use his words.
