oh i’m EXCITED for this chapter!!!!

So it seems i can only write in stolen time when I’m supposed to be doing something else so I’ve assigned myself all kinds of work today and am sneaking back to write. 

I also have cleaned all the litterboxes (our spoiled cat has three, and also uses various corners of the basement that i rarely have the leisure to find but did, this morning. ugh, what a jerk) and done a fair bit of correspondence, and i FOUND MY POSTCARD STAMPS so it’s all over for you hoes I can mail postcards now yay! 

Today’s snippet is brief and ambiguous. Which pairing do you reckon this rather NSFW excerpt is? 

“Just give me your cock, you big goof,” she said. 

“You have the best dirty talk,” he said fondly, and obliged. 

It’s always really good to get unblocked on sex scenes, they just take so much dang choreography.

OH now I know where I’m stuck– 

so a couple chapters ago in Little Fishie (end of the linked chapter there) I had Jaskier ask if Geralt would tell him one true thing about his life. I had something in mind, but then decided the scene was better served by an interruption. 

“I’ll put the question in later,” I thought smugly to myself, as I did not write down what the question was. “That’ll be great.”

Well, it’s later, and I don’t remember what he was going to ask. So, audience participation– 

“Can you tell me the one true thing I wanted to ask about your life, instead?” Jaskier asked. “Since you’re being nice to me?”

“You’re pushing it now, bard,” Geralt said, and got to his feet to see about setting up bedrolls.

“That’s not a no,” Jaskier said. “Ohh, I’ve got to make this count!”

“As I said before,” Geralt said, spreading a blanket over the nicely-trimmed pine boughs he’d assembled before dark, “if it counts too much, there’s no way I’m answering it.”

“There’s a lot in your life that works by you not thinking about it too much,” Jaskier pointed out, this time being wise enough not to make it into a question.

“Well,” Geralt said, “it works, so.” 

“So, something true that isn’t something you’re carefully not thinking about,” Jaskier said. “Hmmm…

if he gets another chance, what should Jaskier ask??? This is the spot where I’m blocked on this chapter and I keep bouncing around and coming back and bouncing off again. Bah!

a linguistic trend or a matter of historical interest that Geralt might be a primary source for?

Geralt would probably answer about linguistic trends for free, but would be less likely to answer "Were you in X coup and if so what happened" unless he's cornered like this...
