Issue No 41 - Trapped (under rubble)

@whumpers-monthly

Fandom: The Witcher (TV)

Whumpee: Ciri, Cahir

I will bring you ruin Chapter 1: Buried

Published: 2023-10-05; Completed: 2024-04-24; Words: 11,585; Chapters: 5/5

"Ciri?" the Witchers shout, her name echoing from the stone walls of Kaer Morhen. "Ciri? You here?" There is no answer.

"Geralt!" Like out of nowhere, Regis has suddenly appeared next to him. "I've located them. They're buried under the wreckage. Over there. We have to hurry!"

"Fuck, Regis, is Ciri alright?" The Witcher grabs his friend by the shoulders, staring at him with wild eyes.

"Her heartbeat is strong. However, the structure of the stones is unstable. If the rubble shifts, she might get crushed beneath it."

Geralt lets go of Regis and starts to run as fast as never before in his life, Coen and Lambert following closely behind. Regis disappears in a cloud of black smoke. Geralt does not know where to, however, he has no time to wonder.

"Ciri? You in there?" he shouts, standing by the pile of stones that was an ancient tower just minutes before. This time he can hear a faint voice. Her voice. Thanks to Melitele, she is alive! With his enhanced Witcher senses, Geralt can hear a soft heartbeat, too. Regis was right, it is strong and regular, but beating fast from panic. The thumping sound comes from underneath the stones, luckily not from where they are piled up highest but from a little to the side. There are still plenty of stones and other debris to be moved away, though, in order to dig her out. It would be a lot easier if they could just blast everything away with Aard, but it is too risky, more stones may come sliding down and crush her. No, they will have to do it by hand, quickly but cautiously. Geralt climbs over the stones and splintered wooden beams riddling the yard to get closer to where Ciri's voice has come from, coughing from the thick clouds of dust in the air that he inhales. Ciri is coughing too. Hopefully, this will not bring down more rubble onto her.

The closer Geralt gets, the more agitated he becomes. In spite of the dust, he can smell it. Blood. And not just a little.

"Ciri, can you hear me?" he calls again when he is almost there.

"Daddy?" Her voice is muffled from the thick layer of debris covering her but Geralt can easily perceive the fear in her voice. Not only her heartbeat is too fast, but also her breathing. Fuck, she is hyperventilating. He cannot blame her. He felt much the same way when he was caught in the avalanche back when they had to cross the Mortblanc pass on their way to Stygga. Being buried alive is an experience he does not wish on anybody. And now his daughter is caught in such a horrible trap right inside their beloved home. What an evil twist of fate. Cursing under his breath, Geralt scans the pile of rubble. If they can move this one large stone slab and the heavy wooden beam it is lying on top of, it should not be too difficult to dig her out as the rest of the rubble is mostly smaller stones that can be easily carried by one or two strong men. They will have to hurry, too, the smell of blood is growing stronger by the minute.

"Ciri, are you alright?" Geralt asks, trying to sound calmer than he is while motioning for Lambert and Coen to come over to help him with the heavy slab.

"I - I don't know. I can't breathe," she pants, "and there's blood everywhere."

"We're getting you out. You'll be okay, my daughter. Just hold on and try to calm down. Lambert and Coen are here to help. We'll be as fast as we can. It won't take long, I promise. Just a few minutes."

Ciri starts to cough again, violently. Damn, let it just be the dust, not blood, Geralt prays to all the gods he knows. But what if her ribs are broken and one of them has punctured her lung— No, he must not even think it, Geralt berates himself. The mental image alone of Ciri coughing up black blood makes him break into a cold sweat. How he wishes Yennefer were here. With her magic, she could easily lift the stones and debris and whatever, they would grab Ciri, Yennefer would heal any injuries in a jiffy, and they would live happily ever after. Why for Melitele's sake did she have to attend this fucking Lodge meeting? Those meetings have never brought anything but bad luck. Fuck them all. Angry at the whole world from worry and at the Lodge of Sorceresses in particular, he grabs the huge stone slab.

"One, two, and on three," Geralt counts. With loud grunts, the three Witchers lift it off the pile of rubble under which Ciri is trapped and, groaning from the strain, carry it a few metres out of the way, then drop it onto the ground. They gasp for air and sweat is streaming down their brows. However, there is no time to rest, not as long as Ciri is in danger.

The wooden beam actually was a heaven-sent as without it, the stone slab would have fallen directly onto the girl, most probably crushing her, but it is impossible to move, not without magic. Perhaps Ciri can crawl out from under it as soon as they have removed the smaller pieces of rubble? The three Witchers get onto their knees and, with all haste, start to dig. More dust rises into the air, but they hardly notice it so focused are they on their task. Ciri barely stops coughing. Now she is sobbing, too.

"Don't cry, Ciri. We're almost there, I promise, just another minute or two," Geralt tries to soothe, but it does not work.

"It's all my fault," she blubbers out. "I didn't want this to happen, I swear. Geralt, I - I think, I killed him."

"Ciri, what are you talking about? Killed who?" Geralt asks, confused. Then it dawns on him. Regis said they were buried, not she. Cahir. Worried out of his mind for his daughter, he totally forgot that his friend was missing, too. Maybe it is his blood, not Ciri's?

Welp, a prompt I filled last month also fits with @whumpers-monthly for this month! So using this for Issue 41: Trapped

@May-lancholy 2025- Day 22

Trapped with them- Lumina

Fish Out of Water Masterlist

TW/CW: noncon (nonsexual) intimacy

Lumina

Lumina couldn’t sleep. She stared, unseeing, at the ceiling. She could feel Cruella deep asleep next to her, the woman’s chest rising and falling against where she was pressed to Lumina’s arm. The other woman’s arm kept Lumina in place, wrapped tight around her almost imperceptibly rounder stomach.

Ever since they’d gotten the news, the trio treated her differently. She still couldn’t leave their sight, but where nights had been her solitude, she’d been forced to stay in one of their beds each night. They still controlled her meals, but now force fed her what they wanted her to eat. It was almost worse than the punishments. They even hand-bathed her now, instead of just leering and making jibes at her appearance.

But what could she do? It was clear they didn’t want any harm to come to the baby. And it was clear that no matter her condition, she would be trapped with them. Her last check-up had made that extremely clear. So she just… let them do what they wanted. She was already their plaything.

She should probably just be grateful she was their doll now. It was better than being their mouse, at least.

Fish Out of Water Taglist:

@melpomenelamusa, @elle297382, @iamheretohurt, @c0zy-drag0n

May posts on scheduled queue, including times when I'll be asleep or at work, so keep an eye out if you request to be on the taglist but not edited into the scheduled posts yet

I have medical bills coming up. If you like my stuff and/or want to help me out, here's my ko-fi. Any help is appreciated. Bonus, you'd see my future book content, too!

[barrenclan]

"Oracles"

This issue is very lore-dense and exposition-heavy, so there's no shame in giving it a couple reads. Pure xenofiction worldbuilding.

Finally, here's the answer to what's going on between Pinepaw and Nightberry, and what the deal is with Pinepaw's visions and such! The magic powers are very much real, but as has been said before, there is no confirmed afterlife or source of the abilities, like Nightberry says in the issue. It does not mean that StarClan is real in this comic. It's a mystery.

I put a lot of my own ideas and thoughts into oracles, but there are some outside media sources that had a very strong influence I'd like to mention, which are the Eye's powers from The Magnus Archives, shining from The Shining, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, and greensight from A Song of Ice and Fire.

As a reminder, I've begun offering early previews of the next issue on my Patreon, under the $5+ tiers. Issue 42 will be posting there sometime next week, once I finish it.

Summary: 

“Judit!” said Harry, quickly stubbing out his cigarette. She turned to look at him, startled, as he hurried over to her. 

“Sorry,” she said, hurriedly wiping her cheeks with the cuff of her jacket. “I didn’t–I didn’t realize anyone was–” More tears fell down her cheeks and she wiped them away again. 

EMPATHY: This isn’t sadness. It’s fear. 

“Judit, what’s wrong?” said Harry. He touched her arm, gently. 

Her face crumpled and she let out a choked sob. “I don’t have–I don’t have time for this,” she said, her voice wavering. “I have to go– My kids are alone– And my husband– No one knows where he is. I’m scared he might– he’s been so down lately–” She stopped abruptly, unable to make herself say what she was thinking.

Tonight's playthrough of veilguard has been a fuckin fever dream I love these idiots so much

[samobservessonic]

It’s the very first Amy solo story! She’s here! She’s wearing a great outfit! …Sonic’s about to ditch her again, booo!

We’re still  in those early stages, where Amy was the fangirl who Sonic didn’t want hanging around. StC Amy doesn’t stay in this role forever, but that’s going to be the basis of this story

Oh hey, they’re acknowledging one of the Post Mag stories! Glad that I factored them into my reading order now, even if my placement for reading some of them could’ve been improved

Don’t worry Amy, one day you’ll basically be the next leader after Sonic. But for now, she gets ditched. I know it’s the premise of the story, but it still makes me frown about how it’s inconsistent with other stories so far, where Amy has been allowed to come along on Sonic’s adventures and has been equally capable to any of the other characters. Tails still has one foot in the “getting left behind by Sonic” door, but lately seems to be getting included. And I don’t care for that role being passed onto Amy, even if it’s for a short time

My girl really just said “Oh no, what am I going to do about these Buzzbombers?” and then loaded up her crossbow to blast them out of the sky. Respect

For a bit of added lore, she even made the crossbow bolts herself

We get a short fight scene between Amy and the Buzzbombers, then Sonic returns after the false alarm

Amy smiles at the readers, while telling the others that there was nothing left behind that she couldn’t handle and that’s the end of the story. Even if I’m meh about Amy being used in the role that Tails has just graduated from, I am glad to see the first Amy story and know that she moves onto better things. By the time I started reading, there were regular Amy & Tekno stories of them having their own adventures together and that was my introduction to Amy as a character, so it is a bit weird to shift back to a time when the team believed Amy wasn’t capable, even if I already knew her character arc started out that way in StC

Issue No 41 - Trapped (in an avalanche)

@whumpers-monthly

Fandom: The Witcher

Whumpee: Geralt of Rivia

Published: 2021-10-02; Completed: 2021-10-08; Words: 8,746; Chapters: 3/3

Winterlude II:

Chapter 3: The White Death

"Ice giant! Take cover!" Geralt yelled in alarm, jumping off his horse. However, there was no cover. The avalanche set off by the boulder came straight at them with incredible speed. A blurry, unstoppable swirl of white that would swallow them all in an instant with no way to escape. And swallow them it did. Not all of the company, though. At the very last moment, Regis transformed into a bat and flew off. There was nothing he could do for his comrades.

The snow slide hit Geralt like a wall, knocking the breath out of him. He heard Angoulême's muffled shrieks through the masses of snow that carried him off across the ravine, threatening to trap him, to bury him alive. Instinctively he tried to make swimming motions to stay on the surface but to no avail, the moving snow was too powerful. When it finally came to a halt, Geralt was covered by a thick, heavy layer of the icy substance, battered, not able to move, hardly able to breathe. Trapped under tons of white snow. Was this how it would end? The tragic story of Geralt of Rivia and his hanza's ill-fated journey to rescue his child surprise. Entombed in a frozen, lonely, forgotten grave - Mortblanc, the White Death, a fitting name indeed ...

Manga Phantom Orion can go invisible, “its fusion wheel shaped like the body of a stealth bomber plane,” because Chris was in the US Army in the Beyforce. Orion was specifically designed to defeat Nemesis.

Ginga uses Da Xiang’s “feeling the flow” and listening to Orion’s movements against the stadium.

He beats Orion by copying Kyoya’s King Lion Crushing Fang (Kyoya summoned a tornado seconds beforehand as reference) to punt Orion into the air, following it up with Starblasting it out of the stadium.

[ID: two sets of two panels each from chapter 252 of “yona of the dawn”; the odd-number images are from the magazine while the even-number ones show the same panel from the tankobon version. 1. white text on a black background, reading: “the princess is…hak and zeno are fighting. blood, return to my body. why can’t i move? please, make me move.” 2. gija lying on his back, bleeding from a large sword wound across his chest and from his mouth, surrounded by darkness; he’s thinking, “her highness…hak and zeno are still fighting. why can’t i move? put all the blood i’ve lost back into my body…so i can move.” 3. white text on a black background, reading: “if the princess and my friends can live a long life…i’ll do anything. i’ll become anything.” 4. gija reaching up with his dragon hand against a white background; he’s thinking, “in order to continue living at her highness’ side with everyone…i’ll do anything. i’ll become anything.” end ID.]

panel differences between the magazine and tankobon versions of ch 252 that make me feel like chewing glass. the second one makes me especially unwell like. the solid black background vs the white background with gija reaching out his hand…. the “if the princess and my friends can live a long life” vs “in order to continue living at her highness’ side with everyone” (especially when u consider how willing gija has been to die)…… throwing up blood like a distressed wuxia protagonist
