Looking for a beta/ Geraskier

Hello, darlings! I'm currently looking for a beta for my Geraskier modern AU fanfiction.

A very, very patient beta.

While I am not new to writing fanfiction itself, I never wrote it in English before. My native languages are Ukrainian and Russian, and I like to think that I'm pretty good at writing in Russian. However, even thinking about having to bear this alone, and obviously make tons of mistakes, gives me anxiety.

If you can handle teaching me things about writing in English, the slow pace of writing, fixing my mistakes, that can be repetitive, and being kind and patient to me - I am asking for your help.

I don't know where to start, but I have to somewhere.

I am planning to write about 10-15K words (hopefully), probably mature, and, like I already said, Geraskier modern AU. Definitely: mutual pining, idiots in love, road trip and two narrative times. If you need more details to decide if you can help me - feel free to contact me.

Our help can be mutual - I recently learned how to add twitts and insta-posts into fanfiction on AO3, and I can either do it for you or explain, how you can do it yourself. Also I can do some moodboards and Photoshop something for you. If you want to practice some Russian or even Ukrainian - also very great, let's do it.

(If you can't/don't want/don't have time to beta, but want help with social media on AO3 or a moodboard - you can ask me too)

Thank you very much for reading it. If you don't have any nice words in you, please, don't mock me, just scroll.

And nice time of day for everybody, I hope you're all doing well!

Geralt and Jaskier at Starbucks.

Jaskier: One Caramel Macchiato for me. Geralt, how you'd like your coffee?

Geralt: As dark and bitter, as my soul.

Jaskier: One Vanilla Latte with two sugars for my friend.

i hope that if there’s ever a Harry Potter reboot they hire more interesting costume designers to work on wizard fashion, because the book mentiones wizard fashion is way different from muggle fashion and i am very interested in how they would showcase that difference.

especially nowadays with cgi being so much better:

pattern that move

patterns that glow

BAND MERCH WHERE THE BAND IS ACTUALLY MOVING

kids with cute moving cartoons on their shirts

enchanted shoes that make you float just a tiny bit to make you look taller without high heels hurting your feet

also house emblems that move

while we’re at it actual robes instead of a uniform (would be cool if they actually change colour as soon as they’re sorted

long flowy clothes that float so they just don’t touch the ground

also NO/LESS OF A GENDER BINARY

teens and young adults mixing traditional wizard clothes with muggle clothes because leather/denim jackets and skinny jeans are cool and the wizarding world probably has hipsters as well

i could go on and on and on about the opportunities

[excitarefluctustmblr]

Thank you very much! I think it's main stylistic problem of the Harry Potter cinematic universe.

While there are lots of fascinating locations, magical creatures and richly animated magical spells, costume designs are mostly not boring, but not exciting enough for the wizarding world those movies are trying to portray.

There are outfits close to something interesting: Queenie Goldstein's outfits, Leta Lestrange' outfits, Nagini's dress, some of the Yule Ball dresses, Beauxbaton's school uniform, Kingsley looks and the whole Luna Lovegood' hipster wizard style.

But those are only bright brush strokes on the mostly grey painting.

Costume choices could've been used to emphasize diversity and inequality. We know that there are charasters from different classes, with different origin, but we can't actually see it on the screen. The only moment when movies visually show us inequality by costume choices, it's Ron getting his Yule Ball outfit.

Even when Draco insults Ron with the words "hand-me-down robe", the robe actually not quite different from the ones anybody else is wearing.

The truth here is: we were robbed.

And I am very disappointed with this.

You know, I just have a thing for an emotionally constipated loners, dealing with hard work cases nobody else can solve, and their lovable and loyal companion biographers.

Clark: Okay, Bruce. But exactly how many kids do you have?

Bruce: Is this a trick question?

Clark: ...not generally.

Geralt, grumbling at Jaskier's fussing after Jaskier having found Geralt passed out in the woods again: I wasn't hurt that badly. The healer said all my bleeding was internal. That's where the blood's supposed to be.

[excitarefluctustmblr]

Geralt: I wasn't injured. I was lightly stabbed.

Jaskier: I'm sorry. You were stabbed?

Imagine being Superman/Clark Kent and interacting with Bruce Wayne when you know he’s The Batman. One moment he’s making heart eyes at you when you’re in Superman mode trying to save his life all the while listening to how if you’d go out on just One Date with him Superman, baby he’ll show you the time of your life. 

Then, you’re in Clark Kent Journalist Mode interviewing billionaire playboy philanthropist Mr. Wayne and he tells you to call him Brucie, please and proceeds to flirt with you throughout the interview but instead of being able to just brush him off like you normally would when you’re Superman you have to act all flustered and shy which isn’t much of an act if you’re being really honest with yourself.

And then the real kicker is when Bruce Wayne is in The Batman mode and he’s all cold and gruff. He won’t even say hi to you in whatever form. He doesn’t talk about anything besides business and you’re slowly losing your hold on sanity. Like he’s so fucking professional you want to tear your hair out because literally a couple of hours ago he was romancing you into quick romantic sex-filled getaway to Paris. Imagine the fucking whiplash. 

[excitarefluctustmblr]

Okay, but also imagine being Bruce in this one. Having a massive crush on a freaking Superman, that started as "i wanna punch him in his stupid face with its perfect features" and "he can't really be THAT good, kind and genuine, i usually like at least morally questionable people, there must be smth wrong with him", but after they met as Batman and Superman, and Bruce figured out his Clark Kent identity, became "oh my god he is genuinely like that " and "how he can be one of the smartest people that I know and awkward dumbass thot at the same time and why do I like it Google search".

And all he can do is just flirt with him whenever he can. Which is a lot and not actually at the same time. Mostly because while flirting with both (does that really count as both? I mean) Clark and Superman is really fun - Clark acting like he is shy and uncomfortable, when Bruce knows he actually isn't, 'cause Superman of course brushes him off all the time, but with little amused grin that means Kal at least think Brucie is funny - but this flirting has bad influence on Bruce's mental health.

Because he still needs to be Batman somehow.

And the best way to do it - actually be Batman like he always was. Cold, gruff, moody, almost numb. Which is supposed to be easy, but it's not with this careless_whisper.mp3 playing in his head on ans on, and he doesn't even know what it is - his subconscious or one of his dumbass kids in a Batcave succeeding in driving him mad.

(Dick gave him a dumb I ♥️ Superman t-shirt from Metropolis souvenir shop for Christmas. Bruce didn't threw it away).

So Batman just acts like Batman, despite that becomes Superman's friend and sometimes even says more than "hmm" and "hnn" on their missions.

But still he isn't ready for it when Clark just goes full "fuck it, I like him, you only live once" and starts flirting back.

Brucie just says something like "What are you doing after this?" while Superman is saving his life. And the next second Superman is just "Heading to Fortress of Solitude, unless maybe you've got something better than solitude to offer". Bruce goes blue screen of death for a record 5 seconds before his brain turns on again.

It's worth when it's Clark who is flirting back. Because when Brucie says "I have a private plane and can fly you to the moon" Bruce doesn't expect to hear "Well, I can do that to you without a plane". And it goes just

"What?"

"What?"

So Bruce and Clark drive each other crazy, not knowing that other is doing this knowingly too...

... before of course they do.

It's probably Clark who decided to tell Bruce about his (not so) secret identity, probably asking for a help in securing it, or for a backup guard for his friends and family. Or both, whatever.

And when Bruce is just "I'm world's greatest detective (place your Batman glare here). I already know".

Clark loses it like "Wait, what. Do you knew it before you start flirting with me as Clark or after?"

"Excuse me wha-"

"You heard me, Bruce".

"Wait, you knew? You knew and flirted back?"

They probably need to bicker and yell at eachother, before violently make out and agree on a date finally.

Somewhere in a Batcave Alfred probably looks at the camera like he is on the office.

Hear me out: What if the prize for the heist this year is the gender of the Peraltiago baby?

[excitarefluctustmblr]

I think that it'll be the name of the baby. Nobody or Jake/Amy would win, to let Jake and Amy ofc, because there is no way they wouldn't ask each other opinions really, how they want to name their kid. And then they'll probably make heartwarming decision, maybe name kid after somebody - maybe after Holt or Charles / Rosa. Or give them a double name.

I personally think that naming kid Charles Raymond would be extra decision. Charles obviously gonna be head over heels, BUT that could be the point where we see Holt cry because he got too emotional over this.

If they name their girl Rosa, that totally will make Rosa cry too. AND let's don't forget that Ray could also be girls' name. AND Charlie is a beautiful name also. So that could be Rosa Ray, Rosa Charlie or Charlie Ray.

World is full of possibilities.
