https://tmblr.co/mmG9gp3S698rFJImW-pcxgg and I had been working on A Wake
https://archiveofourown.org/works/38162974 for kind of a while, and had
stalled out a bit on it despite bittylildragon
https://tmblr.co/mFZ-dyX2gnK2QUR8N-lH5pA‘s excellent beta-editing help.
And then BLD was feeling poorly and to take his mind off things, started
watching Witcher 2 playthroughs again, and brought up what a compressed
time-frame that’s all happening within. Like, dang that’s. That’s a short
time!
So then we got talking about how, surely, Geralt and Iorveth had to have
fucked too, sometime in there. And what would that look like? Iorveth uses
such flimsy pretexts to get Geralt to tie him up and pretend he’s a
prisoner, too— oh well, that had us off to the races in the groupchat.
bittylildragon https://tmblr.co/mFZ-dyX2gnK2QUR8N-lH5pA Was Not Going To
Write It, but we’d had such good discussions about it on Discord that he
was like wellllll I’ll make a Gdoc and save these ideas, so that when
y’all get around to it, it’s there, but I’m not gonna write it, I’m not,
and then well.
I did write a bit of it but this is mostly bittylildragon
https://tmblr.co/mFZ-dyX2gnK2QUR8N-lH5pA. And akilah12902
https://tmblr.co/mmG9gp3S698rFJImW-pcxgg and Tumblr won’t let me tag
eatingcroutons https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/eatingcroutons were also
gonna work on it but poor crou had an incident with a pigeon and assorted
other life goings-on, so they mostly were there for suggestions and debates
and a lot of groupchat energy. Mostly it was a really pleasant way to be
there for one another in the notes and groupchat during some of this
early-spring darkness.
A Rescue, on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/38225191
“Let’s say that they captured you and cut your clothes and armor off you
above-deck, so you’ve been forced to come down here half-naked, with your
muscles rippling as you swing a stolen sword at the remaining guards.”
“Is that how it would go,” Geralt said, deadpan. He could tell this was
flirtation, even as confused as it was with—well, everything else about
this situation. And since it was flirtation, he wanted to be seen as
interested.
But he didn’t know how to play-act. He wasn’t a performer like
Jaskier—maybe he’d played out stories as a kid, he couldn’t remember. For a
moment he cast about, desperate not to turn Iorveth down by silent refusal.
Slowly, looking at Iorveth all the while, he lifted his shirt off over his
head, then hung it on the bars of the cell.
“Yes,” Iorveth said, gaze admiring now as it rested on Geralt’s body. His
chin was still tipped up, his throat a sharp plane in the poor light of an
oil lamp hung nearby. “But now go away, you’re to come rescue me.”
under the cut, some highlights from the groupchat:
B: the fact that geralt has like. mental-health-maintenance-sex with BOTH
of them [Iorveth and Roche]
god he’s doing so much work in this game
A: And I mean it can be a couple days later But YEAH IT’S A VERY SHORT
TIME PERIOD
BLD: HE REALLY IS (with his dick)
Geralt: I fucked my way into this and I’ll fuck everyone back out of it too
B: geralt is not just the fandom bicycle he’s also like an entire fandom
workhorse
[…]
BLD: I’m tempted to say it’s on the barge itself as it travels downriver
to Vergen, but like…it’s kind of crowded, and also the hold is full of
literal blood and filth from real-life imprisoned elves. That’s…probably
too close to reality for the fantasy to work out
[…]
A: […] Options are on the boat or in Vergen while Saskia is in a
medically induced coma on the edge of death unfortunately
[…] There’s not a lot of time for fucking around in Witcher 2 […]
BLD: Goooddddddddd it’s fucking edgy as hell if they do that roleplay in
the barge where Ciaran was held and tortured by humans
with Ciaran himself downstairs recovering
or on deck recovering while Geralt and Iorvet fuck in one of the cells
I dunno about that
B: oh jeez yeah wellll sometimes edgy is like. where the emotional punch
is
maybe that’s what it takes to get iorveth worked up enough to ask for it
BLD: I like that
Iorveth is like. So fucking in his feelings right then
betrayed AGAIN, then unexpectedly aided by another witcher, then having to
spend a week or weeks in a barge where a LOT of torture has occurred to
Iorveth’s comrades
B: right????? like, he’s old, he’s mature, he knows better than to be
Messy, but then like—- fuck— it’s just so much to be feeling
BLD: it is
and geralt has. sort of. proven himself. and maybe. maybe can help.
B: god that sort of thing is hard to resist
BLD: so if Geralt is offering sex…..
why not just…play with what Iorveth is feeling anyway….
B: and it could even start sort of like– he didn’t mean for that but
like– there they are in one of the cells and iorveth sort of slips on one
of the chains and is like would you rescue me? and geralt is like what— and
then is like– fuck, yes, i’d rescue you, and they go from there
A: 👀
BLD: YESSSSSSSSSS
[…]
BLD: So yeah, rescue is like. A HUGE part of Geralt’s actions in this game
he does it like 4 or 5 or more times before getting to this point on the
barge with Iorveth and there are times when he CAN’T intervene and can’t
fix things
B: so it stands to reason that he’d rescue emotionally compromised men by
giving them mental-health-affirming sex
[…]
eatingcroutons: “would you rescue me” this line is, as the youths would
say, making me feral (I’m not even sure that’s what the youths would say
but LOOK I have a lot of feelings about it)
A: It’s amaaaazing
eatingcroutons: would you rescue me in the future (are we allies)? would
you have rescued me in the past (do you care about what they did to me)?
would you rescue me now (wanna have some kinky sex)?
layers, I tell you. layers.
