Moonlight Cell This was a really quick pic (about 3 and a half hours) I haven't drawn a werewolf in forever and it kinda shows, but hey, this was quick and fun and I like it a lot.

Every year the Order of the Witchers meet to discuss pressing matters relevant to the brotherhood. They observe a number of rituals, including the Fruits of the Hunt. Two Witchers are selected - one from the host school, and one other - to be the Fruits for that year.

They have three days to get as far from the keep as possible, before the others will be set loose to hunt them. To be a Fruit is an honour; the time spent in the company of your captors cements trust between schools and establishes close bonds between its members. This year a young Eskel, with no more than a handful of years on the Path under his belt, is selected as a Fruit and he couldn't be more terrified.

Young Eskel is inspired by this beautiful piece of art by Heyriel (Goldandlights).

@rawrkinjd shared a photo of a very gorgeous Nenneke gwent card in the Eskel Big Bang server and they seemed so enamoured with the old lady, saying “I want to hug that woman all day long”, so I went ahead and quickly doodled that :>

I used Rawr’s old pfp for this though because otherwise it would have just been Nenneke and Eskel hugging //D 💕

17!

Proudest moment since you started writing. 🦊🧡

Mmm. I don't know if there's one, specifically. There's no milestone I was after, no wordcount. I'm just. toodling along? But ... There's been a few comments that just. Make my heart explode. Someone saying they were delighted with a portrayal that made them feel seen. Someone saying their special interest was shown, and I did a good job. Someone noticing that I have a lot of random knowledge about something, that I stuff into the fic. Another person saying they loved how i wrote x, y, or z. But. I think the best, and i know this is a bit sappy, have been the tiems when someone quietly came into my dms and talked to me about something private, something personal, something... heavy. That I mentioned, or touched on, or wrote about, that helped them. Like, holy shit. I not only did it well enough to make you feel... maybe not good, but understood. And you trusted me to talk about it. So. Everyone who has been in my dms, who has left comments, who has talked to me about this. You literally are why I keep going. I'd do a list, but it'd be long, and i know many of you are mutuals so. <3 I just hope you see this. I love you, Rawr, and I'm grateful to have met you. <3

As first-time Witchers on the path, Geralt and Eskel were expected to spend a whole winter on the path, returning to the keep in the winter of their second year. It was a way to guarantee their survival in the elements, particularly in the event that they didn’t make it back to the keep by the time winter came in the following years. Typically, Witchers would find shelter at the home of a contractor, attempting to save contacts from nobles or others with estates until the Autumn, and instead of taking coin, they ask for a warm bed and food for the harsh season. If the estate owner has any sense about them, they’ll accept the offer, seeing it as a better deal than being asked to pay with their savings.

That was how Geralt found a house for his first winter, although the temple in Rivia was more modest than an estate. The residents were excited to have a guest, even if it was only for the winter months. Geralt did his fair share of work in the temple, labor tasks and chopping wood for the fires, tending to the plants in the nursery and using his knowledge to keep them alive throughout the season. He impressed the priests and priestesses with his skills, and after slaying the pair of nightwraiths on the temple grounds, they were happy to have him. He couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay— although he wouldn’t have minded if a certain other Witcher had come with him…

Eskel had taken a different approach to working through winter, employing himself as a partial monster hunter, partial cook in Skellige. He fit in well, filling out his muscular frame with warm winter fat, spending his mornings clearing the beaches of the main island of sirens and drowners, then his afternoons and evenings under the watchful eyes of the cooks in Kaer Trolde. Within his first month he had made lifelong friends out of fishermen and warriors alike, and by the end he was greeted like family. But at night, his thoughts were elsewhere— a warm fire, hair like moonlight, and a home up in the mountains…

Both parted from their retreats full to the brim with compassion, lessons learned, stories to tell, experiencing the joy to be found in the simplicity of support from people who cared about them, even if for only a few months. They loved their temporary families fiercely, although they were just that— temporary.

Now it was time to get back to the job that Destiny had set out for them. To strap on their swords, and turn back down the Path.

I’m so pleased with this. Also it sent my dreams last night spiraling into thoughts about Eskel being taken in by Bear Witchers and I sort of started ranting to @rawrkinjd about it, but idk if that line of thought will lead me anywhere productive.

One rose for a WIP, dear heart: 🌹

I think the post says sentence, but longer sections are more fun. so, from my longer than initially planned Eskel/Jaskier wip

“Can’t hide anything from you, can I?” Jaskier says, pulling out an apple and offering it to him.  Scorpion takes it and munches happily, ignoring Eskel entirely. 

“Ah, I see.  I’ve been replaced,” Eskel teases.  “One apple is all it takes.” 

“Nah, if I really wanted to replace you, I’d use sugar cubes.”  Scorpion perks up at that, nudging Jaskier for more treats, and he has to empty out his pockets to show that he has nothing more to offer.

Eskel laughs.  “You trying to say I’m sweet?”
