Modern Eskel and Geralt take to backpacking/camping as frequently as possible and it's only partly because they both like the woods. Mostly it's because nobody can hear just how fucking noisy Eskel gets when they're out in the middle of nowhere.
This is one that I would absolutely write a prompt for on a better day when I’m feeling up to it, not gonna lie.

Eskel, when they’re at home, has to have something in his mouth every time they fuck, whether it’s him biting down on a pillow, or a strip of leather, or if it’s him gagging on Geralt’s fingers, because when things get intense Eskel gets loud and the one mortifying noise complaint was enough for him, thank you very much.
But when they go on their seemingly innocent camping trips, “oh, we’re just gonna go into the woods, reconnect with nature. That’s the thing these days, isn’t it?” And nobody is suspicious at all, it’s good that they’re getting out and getting some sun, “plus it’s survival training, right? In case we get stuck in the middle of nowhere at some point in our lives.” And they’re right! So why stop them?
But what nobody knows is that in the woods, at the little camp Eskel and Geralt set up when they hike out to their clearing, late into the night after they’ve eaten and put out their fire, the owls and crickets and other songs at night are joined by one voice crying out with all the sound he doesn’t get to use any other time.

😌 This was fun, like I said, I’d write a full prompt for this if my brain wasn’t fucking dead. Anyway, thank you for the ask!!
