Jaskier and Geralt were turned back into children.

Surprising a lot of people, Geralt is the sweet, adorable child. Sure, he's shy, but he just wants to help everyone.

On the other hand, Jaskier is a menace.

(Also, bonus points if kidGeralt trails around kidJaskier like a lost puppy)

"I want one! I want one! I want one!" "Jaskier you can not have a sword!" "I'll cry! I'll cry SO loud!" "Jaskier, you don't have to-" Eskel pulls down on his face in stress as Jaskier inhales and then begins SCREAMING. Eskel had mistakenly offered to watch Jaskier after he and Geralt were turned into children by a spell. He thought it'd be easy. Jaskier was nice! Sweet! Singy! But apparently when he was younger, he was demanding, hyper, and screamy. Eskel is able to hold out until Jaskier tries to reach into a lit fire. Only then does Eskel realize he needs backup and scrambles to find Lambert. "Do you wanna skip kids for a bit?" "Are you kidding? All Geralt does is sit there and look like that." Lambert points to a small Witcher, with big pleading eyes, who looks like he's grieving. "But I need help with Jaskier." "How hard is it to keep a kid happy?" "He wanted to touch fire!" "And? It'd be a nice learning experience!" "You're fucked in the head." "Oh shit-" "What?" "..You made me lose him! GERAAALT! GERALT, WHERE ARE YOU!?" It took them hours of searching to find both children in an oft-forgotten storage room. Geralt was simply entranced by the bolder boy, and was now glued to his side. Jaskier seemed equally ecstatic for a friend. Jaskier was much calmer, always jabbering on to Geralt. Geralt seemed much happier, holding hands and hugging Jaskier. "Geralt said he wants a snack." "In just a minute, screechy. I gotta finish this first." Lambert says, glaring at a vial. "Geralt is hungry." "I know." "If you don't get him a snack, I'll scream." "Oh come the fuck on-" "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

11 & 14 for the fic ask game!

hi bakewrite!! thank you for the ask!!

for #11, fics that I think deserve more reads:

on the shorter side is Cherubim by @vanilla-phantomhive, which was one of my favorite fics from last year and packs such a delicious punch in sub-5K.

on the longer side: the counterfeits by @ninety6tears, which is a novel-length spirk AU of a Tana French novel that I really love. it was so good, and in my humble opinion the plot makes more sense in a sci-fi setting than in real-world-on-earth Dublin.

also on the longer side: the survivors by Eligh (who I can't find on tumblr), which is an AOS AU with one of the coolest original alien species i've ever encountered.

for #14, my favorite fic???? augh!! oh god!! how can i decide between them????? i'm going to go instead with some bookmarks of mine that i haven't recced before:

alien anatomy by sangwin; i love an AOS academy AU and this one is excellent.

a weary traveler by @bamfspock - time travel shenanigans that makes complete sense in the end. it's so good.

stick to the promise by @daunvaliant - fascinating vulcan gender and cultural worldbuilding

i hope you're well! sending good vibes!

In an attempt to be more romantic, Geralt starts writing letters to Jaskier.

Unfortunately, he forgets that humans sign their letters. Witchers just recognize each other’s scent/handwriting.

So, Jaskier is very disturbed by these vaguely romantic, vaguely threatening letters.

"I don't know what to do! This one just says 'I want to smell your hair'! What does that even mean!?" "That your.. Hair looks like it smells like.. Like those flowery soaps you use or something." "Well it reads more like they want to sniff me as they slit my throat or something." "The letters NEVER said anything about HURTING you!" "Geralt, this one says 'I want to bruise your soft cream skin'!" "Like- Like during- Sex, not actually hurt-" "WAIT. You've a lot of thoughts about these...." "..." "...Geralt, did you write these?" Geralt only thinks about escaping on Roach for a split second.

[geraskierfanficprompts]

I've seen fics where people try to woo Jaskier, and the bard is very polite about it.

Where are my fics where Jaskier, seeing that this person just wants to use him, is a *nightmare*?

Flowers? Fed to a goat. Romantic boat ride? Shoves love interest over the edge. Gods forbid anyone tries to use music or poetry to woo Jaskier. He channels his inner Professor Pankratz and RIPS them apart.

Geralt is jealous, but he's also kind of impressed with the endurance of the courters.

Geralt had been very jealous of the man at first. Until Jaskier had maced him in front of a large crowd while screaming "Mad pervert!" Geralt wasn't so jealous of him after that. He had been trailing Jaskier for weeks now, trying his best to "woo" him. Geralt knew better. He could smell the lust and see the lack of affection in his eyes. Overhearing him brag about wanting to pump and dump the bard also helped. And Geralt was... Admittedly a little surprised that Jaskier believed him so readily when Geralt told him. But he knew he shouldn't have been. After all these years together, why wouldn't Jaskier trust Geralt? Especially with something as important as a potential lover. Jaskier had poured salt into his drink, stepped on his toes, tripped him into a river, shoved him out of a moving carriage, threw his poetry into a fire in front of him, slapped his hands away, and regifted a bouquet of flowers to an entirely different random person on the street. And yet still he man remained. Just for the chance of fucking Jaskier? Geralt hates that he kinda gets it.

[geraskierfanficprompts]

Modern w/o magic where Geralt preparing to propose to Jaskier.

He’s trying to make it a special surprise.

Unfortunately, he’s really bad at keeping secrets from his boyfriend and just ends up acting super suspicious.

Jaskier can tell that Geralt’s keeping a secret. Their friends also seem to know something is up but won’t tell him what.

This causes Jaskier to spiral and believe Geralt is preparing to break up with him.

UhGHGHGHGH BAKEYWAKEYYYY This is one of my FAV genres to read, I love this shit!!!

For the fanfic writers ask game

Hi @bakewrite!! Thanks for the ask :)

🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?

Yes, some do! Partner and assorted trusted friends.

Funnily enough---I went to a wedding last week and was sitting next to someone I didn't know, and we had a perfectly lovely normal conversation and that was the end of it. But the next morning, the bride, our mutual friend, asked me how dinner was and if this person and I ended up talking about fic.

"NO, WHAT, WHY," says I.

"YOU BOTH WRITE FANFICTION," says the bride.

So I tracked down this person again and was like YOU DID NOT SAY YOU WROTE FIC and they said WELL NEITHER DID YOU and then we had a much more productive and authentic conversation after that. Also, now we're mutuals. Hi @soloorganaas lmfao

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

Here is a little sneak peek from my upcoming Shore Leave fic that I thought was cute:

Jim stared at the forest around them for 3.5 seconds, brow furrowed, before he grinned wryly and said, “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”  “We were not in Kansas to begin with. Who is Toto?”

Thanks for the ask!! I hope you're doing well!!

I assumed you were some form of LGBTQ+, but that isn't really far-fetched given the site we're on.

ahahahaha 100% on the money with that one

I’m actually deeply flattered because I think I get clocked as straight in public most of the time 😭
