Hello Witcher friends, and welcome to the Fisstech and Succubi Eskel Celebration Exchange! Since we’re all still stuck in our snowed-in crumbling fortresses isolated by forbidding mountain passes, or at least trying not to catch the plague from our neighbours, now seems like the right time to warm ourselves up by creating fanworks about our favourite witcher! No, not that grumpy White Wolf guy, he already has a bard to sing his praises. I’m talking about Eskel.
In this post you will find the schedule and the very slightly updated rules.
Schedule
Signups: January 9 - February 14, 2021 - I will be posting a running list of DNWs during this time so if you remember or are reminded of any additional DNWs that you don’t want, you will have unlimited opportunities during this time to submit additional DNWs for your prompt.
Claim Period 1: February 18 - 23, 2021
Claim Period 2: February 25 - 29, 2021 - for those who didn’t get any of their first round picks
Posting Deadline: April 15, 2021
Rules
The update to the rules is that the upper word count limit on fics and the upper page count limit on comics has been removed.
Each person who signs up will get one fanwork and give one fanwork. You MUST sign up to create a fanwork if you want to receive one.
What counts as a fanwork?
Fics: You may give one fic of more than 1000 words
Art: You may give at least one complete illustration (finished linework and flat b/w) OR at least 5 rough sketches OR one comic based on the giftee’s requests.
Some other form of fanwork if the recipient requests it and the creator is willing to produce it. If you have some other form of fanwork in mind, you should be specific in your request form, and you should provide several alternatives in your request form (including fic or art) in case there is not a creator who is able to produce the type of fanwork you’re hoping for. A game-accurate suit of armor or a five-tier cake is likely more difficult than a playlist or a moodboard.
Your work should:
feature Eskel as a character;
be tagged responsibly; and
follow the prompt you chose and respect the DNWs your prompter listed;
but other than that, there are NO HOLDS BARRED AS TO CONTENT IN THIS EXCHANGE. Do you want to request something light and fluffy where Eskel gets a lot of very nice things and nothing hurts and everything is beautiful? Great! Do you want to request something canon-compliant where Eskel suffers terrible facial scarring and then later does fisstech with a succubus? Great! Do you want to request something dark where Nilfgaardians overrun the North and the Emperor keeps Eskel as his sex slave? Great!
Please share this announcement far and wide!
I am scrambling like mad to get my Lambert shenanigans done in time to work on this but I am SUPER HERE FOR IT now that I actually understand how an exchange works LOL. Hop in and join me! (Your picture was not posted)

OOOOOH that’s a good one! No, I hadn’t yet worked out if I was going to have Aiden appear anywhere in the series, though I do have a Lambert POV scene that’ll be in the next Ancient Sea update (which is coming… i promise… eskel is taking his sweet fucking time falling into triss’s bed which i hadn’t thought would be quite such an epic scene but you know, choreography, and ya boy is shy it turns out though once you finally get him started he does get there) —
but you’re right, i could throw in a flashback scene of that.
Man Eskel really is the glue holding this family together, and Coen knows it but literally nobody else does. (Well, maybe Vesemir does, I have not at all in the slightest discovered anything from his POV yet and I am just not sure what he does or does not know about or realize.)
I’m excited to include Aiden and am also delighted that given the relative timelines of everything, I am under exactly 0 obligation to address literally the only canon event for him in the game timeline (which is dying). As far as I’m concerned, that never happens, but I also don’t have to come up with any alternative because I’m just not going that late in the timeline.

chapter 4: supervision
We get Triss and Lambert’s POV on things. Listen there’s juicy Jaskier and Yennefer stuff coming but not yet, so instead you get Lambert being a total fucking nerd, and Triss being a grown-up actual woman instead of her creepy character arc from, apparently, both book and game. Listen I can buy that Geralt is hot but not that literally every woman he meets throws away the rest of her life in a quest to bone him, that is really not how it ought to work and your Creepy Male Writer Bullshit is showing.
(Occasionally people reading my fic are like “i can’t wait to read the books!” and I’m like well, I haven’t, and am not going to, and listen that kind of shit is why. Life is short.)
“What do you mean, Geralt knows more about girls?” Triss asked, as Eskel checked another door and made a face.
“Oh, I mean– Geralt… well, he’s a little better at fitting into society in general than the rest of us, so he… interacts more… with women.” Eskel was clearly working very hard to come up with the words to say this.
“You mean he gets laid regularly,” Triss said, sparing him the need to be delicate.
“I wouldn’t say regularly,” Eskel said, amused. “But more often.”
“He’s better at society than you?” Triss was skeptical. “You seem reasonably well-socialized, to me.”
Eskel gave her a look that was hard to read, and continued down the hallway. “I’m missing half my face,” he said in a moment, a little curt. “Tends to put people off.”
It certainly wasn’t half his face, and Triss had already gotten used to it, but she guiltily remembered her first impression, which had been that he was the scariest person here. “Does it really?” she said. “Everybody here has scars on their faces, though. I was starting to wonder if it was an initiation thing.”
Eskel swung around suddenly, leaning slightly into her personal space, and she shrank back in sudden fear from his frightful expression. Then he laughed, a little bitterly, and turned around and kept walking. “It does,” he said. “Weird. No, it’s not an initiation thing, it’s just an occupational hazard of getting the shit beat out of you by supernatural horrors for a living.”
“That wasn’t playing fair,” Triss protested. “It wasn’t your face that scared me so much as you being twice my size and looming at me in a dark hallway! Maybe don’t do that to people!”
“And you thought I was well-socialized,” he said.<br
