The Witcher and his Lark

[jaskierswolf]

Witcher Fandom (if you're still out there), I have a proposal.

If you're a writer, reblog this with one fic you're really proud of that may have been lost to AO3 time. If you're a reader, reblog this with a fic that haunts you, that you think of constantly. If you're an artist, reblog with a link to your favourite art.

Or all of the above?

Let's spread some love!

__

A fic of mine that I love is Wild Blue Yonder - Modern AU where Geralt runs a bookshop and Jaskier is a flirty mess

A fic that haunts me is Sweat and Sex and Sin: The Passiflora in Bloom - Which is a beautifully written smutty/pining/idiots to lovers AU in which Geralt meets a whore that looks an awful lot like his bard.

Art that I love is probably anything by @spielzeugkaiser but particularly their Shifter!Jaskier series, it's a trope I love and their style is just so beautiful.

[queenrenfri]

Great idea!

A fic of mine that I'm really proud of is my sort of space opera inspired by the AWAU, would you find me in the stars?

One that haunts me is definitely Full Circle by CreativWit. This Eskel is just *chef's kiss* and I've reread the fic so many times.

Actually I've got two, another one I think about all the time is Bring Me Home Even Though You Don't Want Me by Karlethandra_Merthensa. I'm a sucker for a good reunion!

[major-trouble]

Excellent idea!! Also a good way to add fics to my list, thank you.

I'm really proud of The Subtle Knife, an Eskel centric, detective noir fic with amazing artwork done by the extremely talented Cylin.

One that haunts me is Singing Silver by FledglingQueen. Just an absolute gorgeous read with an unusual fae!Jaskier (and you know I'm a sucker for the fae).

[enthusiasticconsentacles]

a fic that was such a clever execution of a very tricky idea (and I especially loved this Eskel) is The End is Where We Start by Dira Sudis: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35103520

I think my favorite of my own fics is This Light-Struck Country (archive-locked): https://archiveofourown.org/works/35103520

what fun!

[d-andilion]

this is such a sweet idea <3

if i'm going to rec a fic it has to be better than we'll ever be on our own by @whispered-story. it's about geralt and jaskier going camping, i've read it more times than i can even count. i always always read it when i go camping and it feels as essential as setting up my own tent at this point

as for my own fic, i think i'd want to highlight this one, the viscountess de lettenhove. it has such an odd premise, i couldn't tell you what possessed me to write it, but i'm very proud of it and i remember feeling like it was a big stepping stone in my writing ability

[fellshish]

@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

[sherl-grey]

actually writing the fic down

[jingle-knight]

I’m soooooo embarrassed. My lord told me “good night,” but I thought he was calling me a good knight, and, well, you could hear it clink against my codpiece.

[veliseraptor]

have realized that while i am not a fan necessarily of "people meet and immediately fall in love" i am a fan of "people meet and are immediately obsessed with each other." the love can come later but the absolute fixation should be immediate

[naumaxia-art]

Finally worked out what I'm doing with my art style (for now at least) and had to draw Ciri with it

[naumaxia-art]

One day I will figure out the trick to drawing Yen's face... but probably not today XD

[mysterycat-official]

I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it

[malwarechips]

"i think", i say, about my own ocs, who i made,

radskier edition (part 3)

[batrachised]

TIL that in medieval times trebuchets were sometimes used during tournaments to bombard the watching ladies with roses, and there is something so inherently comedic about this to me. picture me blasting roses at my lover's window with the force of a battlefield assault to win her hand

[knightclubbing]

my liege is that item on the shelf too high for you to reach? fear not, i shall grab it for you. HNNNNNGHHH MMMMMHHGGH HHHHHHHH (cant reach it either)well shit my liege

[asynca]

Write that one-shot. Those 3 chapters will be the best 10 chapters you ever wrote
