In my Lambert/Keira story https://archiveofourown.org/works/26847148 I had described the characters as wearing clothes with decorative embroidery, and fannishliss https://tmblr.co/m1JY_2GbLGLNL5BkN5pvcww was talking with me about putting symbols and hexes and charms on things for protection and such, and from that came this, a wonderful little story Liss wrote about Witcher magic, mending, and general textile magic.

Geralt dug through his pack to find a spool of thread. Jaskier was surprised to see that the thread was a bright crimson red.

“Did you run out of black?” Jaskier asked.

Geralt’s golden eyes flickered up at him and back down to his work. He was painstakingly piecing the seam together with an intricate stitch, more like embroidery than simple mending.

“The red will show,” Jaskier said.

“No, it won’t,” Geralt said. “Under my armor.”

“True,” Jaskier said, nodding. “But why such a fancy stitch then?”

“Not fancy,” Geralt growled.
