I don’t even know where I’ll use this

I don’t even know where I’ll use this bit but I’m having such a good time. 

(This is like. Early in their relationship, Jaskier’s known Geralt like two or three years.)

“You’re only dangerous from a particular perspective,” Jaskier said.

Geralt gave him a long look. “I’m only not dangerous to you because you’re a simpleton,” he said. “And I wouldn’t harm a simple fool.”

“You’re an ass, not a monster,” Jaskier said. 

“I can be both,” Geralt said.

Jerry-of-rivia is my Witcher sideblog, but if you ever want to talk freaky biology or world building, this Zoologist/Former Exterminator DOWN TO CLOWN. I’m one of the handful of people who have definitely heard of bloodthirsty horses, and this is 10000% my shit

1) did you DRAW that cartoon???????? It is amazing

2) i have now already written a scene where Geralt just got himself and Jaskier run out of town because Roach raided somebody’s henhouse when left unattended.

3) i have a nebulous headcanon about how Geralt’s first horse got her name and it’s something to do with her stealing fisherman’s catches (of roach fish, natch) and getting herself labeled cursed and there’s one guy who’s gonna sign right up to take a probably-cursed horse and it’s the guy who a) knows how curses work and b) knows how horses work and c) doesn’t mind having a complete asshole for a horse

I’ve been in one of those moods lately where I’m like, “Why do I never see anyone talking about Lady Lamb? Does no one else listen to Lady Lamb? More people should listen to Lady Lamb.” So here. Have some Lady Lamb.

I mean, objectively I know that she is successful, she’s not ridiculously obscure, I know there’s a fanbase of some size out there, but I guess I just NEVER cross paths with it? Baffling! At any rate, highly recommend if you enjoy women with lovely throaty voices singing indie folk rock with killer lyrics and a lotta raw emotion. Probably her most well-known songs are “Billions of Eyes” and “Crane Your Neck,” but personally, my top ten:

Aubergine

Dear Arkansas Daughter

Little Brother

Oh My Violence

Regarding Ascending the Stairs

Taxidermist Taxidermist

Ten

Violet Clementine

We Are Nobody Else

You Are the Apple

My horse when I was growing up had a bite of whatever I was eating at the barn. Tuna fish sandwich, hot dog with ketchup, candy, etc etc

My horse, a Notable Bitch, was briefly infamous in our household as a pickle bandit. She loved pickles. We don’t know why. 

(Her name was Sugar. she was Not Sweet. She was an asshole. I loved her enormously, and it was not reciprocated. She did not bite, but our other horse, Tiger, did, which is hilarious given his name. He didn’t mean to be a jerk, he had a brain disease apparently. IDK man, horses are Something Else.)

ok, fuck, the Roach story is happening too. how does this happen to me??? 

Along Came This Song

So the next sequential bit of Meet Death Sitting is taking some editing. It’s. Also not super-fluffy? It’s not noncon but it’s like, there’s some sort of… transactional? sex in it? and it’s. It’s not dark exactly, but it’s not as sweet as the rest has been.

So for this lovely freezing Friday I’m tossing y’all a coin in the form of a reasonably-fluffy backstory fic featuring Eskel. Who, I know, in the first installment of Meet Death Sitting, I had Jaskier say he hadn’t met. But. 

(I’m asking this in the fic notes too– should we pretend he’s an unreliable narrator or should I fix that line and make this line up better? or what? feel free to weigh in)

So anyway, this also is where the most recent banter post I made wound up finding its home. Not shippy, but there’s some fun homoeroticism, everyone loves that. 

Along Came This Song, 5900 words, on AO3. 

“You,” Eskel said, with sudden realization. He’d been catching up to that bard; the last town had said he’d been through “yesterday”. Posh, Redanian, foppish, string calluses on fingers. This was the guy, beyond all doubt.

The young man blinked, not without alarm. “Me,” he said. 

“Do you know,” Eskel said, making himself speak more quietly. Also he was looming over the kid, so he sat down on his haunches to look at him more on his eye level. “I’ve been on this road three weeks, and for the last two, people have suddenly been tossing coins at me wherever I go.”

The young man looked perplexed for the barest instant, then guilty, then delighted. “Have you now,” he said. 

Bonus content: 

It was sort of Geralt’s fault they’d gotten chased out of town before the bard could even try to play at the inn; Roach had wandered off and had apparently eaten an entire nest of new-hatched chicks right out from under a broody hen, and there had been a lot of screaming and general unwarranted chaos. That wasn’t such odd behavior for a horse, really, but the fact that she was a Witcher’s horse meant everyone figured she was cursed.
