hm, I was sort of hung up on Ancient Sea so I let myself look at ideas I’d sketched out for missing scenes, bits I meant to write and didn’t fit in, so I’d have something to noodle on since Fugitive didn’t wind up being all that cooperative either.
and so I’ve written the scene that naturally follows from the bit in Ancient Sea where Geralt comments to Eskel that Jaskier’s 40 now and Eskel’s like oh really and then for pacing reasons I just didn’t show Eskel getting a chance to corner Geralt about it. So that’s done, and it’s like… 2600 words and mildly smutty. So that was fun.
But I don’t know if I should post it as part of an Extras compilation, because now i can’t remember what other missing scenes I was going to fill in! I feel like there were, but.
I started writing the scene from the most recent chapter where Yennefer shows up and hauls Jaskier out of a boring academic committee meeting to go have a Skype threesome, and then drops him off well-fucked and glowing and satisfied while the meeting’s still in progress, but that might wind up folded into a chapter later if I POV-skip, so I’m not sure.
Were there other missing scenes I left out? I just don’t know. Maybe I’ll just post it as a standalone. It’s basically the bookend to Warmth.
“No,” Eskel said. “We’re not changing the subject. I don’t have a bard who writes songs about me and dangles around with me and whose mouth I lovingly ladle porridge into during plagues and such, about whom I’ve been a fool for literal decades and have insisted repeatedly that I couldn’t possibly fuck. You’re telling me the punchline to the story now, Geralt.”
“I’ve never lovingly ladled porridge into his mouth,” Geralt said. (It had been soup, and lovingly was such a subjective descriptor as to be useless. Tolerantly, maybe. Dutifully.)
I can’t WAIT for these extras!!! In particular I’m imagining Yenn either not realising or not caring that you don’t go BACK to the meeting once you’ve left to get railed, and just dropping him right back into the room with sex hair, a very visible hickey, his shirt buttoned up wrong and giving him a “call me, babe” kiss in front of his entire scandalised department like the living embodiment of *turns up half an hour late with Starbucks* dialled up to 90000!!!
That is all one hundred percent correct but also I’m not going to lie, my entire motivation for actually writing this scene is to use something my friend said the other day while I was cleaning her kitchen and she was not, distractedly ranting about something instead, and only belatedly noticed what was going on.
“My function here is purely decorative,” she said, and I knew instantly that was something Jaskier would absolutely say, with sex hair and completely drunk on endorphins.
