another chapter! this one is cleverly titled “2″ https://archiveofourown.org/works/28276716/chapters/69607677 and the word count barely edges out 2014 for this year to take over the coveted second-place title in words-per-year published, lol.

I get both Geralt and Ciri into it, ha.

“What the fuck are you d–,” her mouth got out before she bit it ruthlessly down and said, pleasantly, “Geralt!”

Geralt looked unusually sleek and well-groomed and satisfied with himself. She had no idea what the fuck he could possibly be doing in Nilfgaard, and had not prepared herself one whit for this eventuality, and her nonsensical immediate reaction was that her body tried to burst into tears, and she had to wrestle that down with the last shreds of her self-control, so he had time to give her a studied once-over and look even more satisfied with himself.

“Keira,” he said, clasping her hand politely and then taking a seat next to her. “You look well.”

“It’s illusions,” she said, because she expected he would suss that out rather directly himself. She knew if she cried he’d assume she was trying to manipulate him again, so it was important not to show too much weakness. “But you genuinely look well, which astonishes me because I thought that coat of grime you usually have was protective.”

“Hm,” he said, but looked amused, or maybe that was just his smugness. (Your picture was not posted)
