#it’s wild because like 8 or 9 years ago the number of reblogs on a post would often surpass likes

[robertdowneyjjr]

you know the thing that’s actually really great about polls on tumblr is that it’s bringing back a lot of the engagement that has been missing in the last few years. people are reblogging these posts, sharing the content they’re interested in and adding their commentary in the tags. there’s not as huge of a discrepancy between the number of reblogs and likes. idk about the rest of you but i’ve seen a lot more of this since polls were introduced compared to even a month ago and i hope this continues even on posts that aren’t polls.

Writer ask game! 1, 9, 11, 49

ALSO, I saw your tags on Silver’s CPR fic and… are you in healthcare or were just dragged into a very bad situation and had to do compressions because most people don’t recognize you have to break someone’s rib cage to do proper CPR

Not healthcare! I don't work now, and doubt I could do CPR properly any more because my joint stability in my arms was trashed by genetics, but 10-ish years ago I had a summer job as a lifeguard. And got really, really unlucky with what shift I was on. Not sure what happened - and don't want to know - as it happened in a pool a colleague was watching, but after I cleared both pools we swapped so he could answer questions from the call operator.

(Am very thankful I've never had to use the training we did for babies because that's terrifying just on the dolls.)

Now your number questions!

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

All questions tricky, but after scrolling through my (Zelda, because I have too much) fic I'd probably pick Leviathan Legends? Its not the best, and I still need to finish anything else for the series, and is more representative of what my writing at least tries to me. I was a bit surprised by all the physical pain there, but then I'm 9 days into whumptober which has all been Zelda, and there's only 36 fics. So that's a quarter before I've even considered it ^^;

9. How do you find new fic to read?

First is subscription emails from ao3 or things people are reblogging/posting on tumblr to be found on my dash. Depending on if I'm actively looking (email) or it just happens (tumblr). After that, I tend to start looking from character tags (for LU, X-centric tags too). I have favourites whose tabs stay open on my phone, then sometimes I hop from those to another for the day's flavour. Then if there's a lot I haven't read I narrow it to completed fic and/or keywords/keytags like 'fluff' or 'angst with a happy ending'.

11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?

Oh I'm definitely bias. I will play with whomever fits, but I'll tend towards whatever character I'm dangling from the toes. For Zelda stuff my tags currently go - Hyrule (24), Legend (12), Time (9), Sky (8), Warriors (8), non-LU Link (5), Wild (4), Twilight (3), Four (3), Great Fairies (2). Which really tells me I need to write some Wind fic. But then I'm mostly writing cruel things atm, so... I'd rather not angst the kid??? But I'll have a thing. Because he's a good boy and should have something! I... do have one idea for Wind PoV at least, but its for an incredibly au au I've been building. As for why I pick thing... Across fandoms I've tended to notice I drift towards characters with a lot of their details missing. Side characters with interesting tidbits never explored, ones whose lack of presence overshadows the narrative but are long dead... In other fandoms I also really love filling in blanks from canon? Missing scenes and stuff like that (less so Zelda, there's not /missing/ scenes in the same way as you get with film and books, even with LU), events you know happened but not how. Its a similar sort of thing. Hyrule's games give me a very neat framework with a lot of space to play in. Meanwhile Legend just has a very distinctive voice that's fun to dabble in sometimes. The others... Tend to get dragged into fics with one of them as convenient or needed, though Time, Sky, and Wars all have fics where they are the central character having emotions and doing things. As I had ideas. And I have some chaos for Four that's been slowly burning in my brain a long while. Pairing wise... Depends what works for what I'm writing. Even in fandoms where I ship I multiship. LU wise its Legend & Hyrule at the top, but that's as much an artefact of who I like writing most as anything. More you write people the more they show up together.

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

Theoretically I got my laptop out to today's whumptober prompt, but those get written on the day itself or not at all, and I haven't actually started yet. I have... A lot of WIPs, all of which get poked from time to time. But! Multiple times now has my brain be drawn to the fic summarised as "Princess Aurora's attempts to reconstruct the Legends of the Four Sword with only half-remembered folk stories of her youth and a scattering of pages found in the remains of the burnt-out royal library", so have a bit of that! This is from pretty late, but I tend to write the end of anything before the start.

But then, the Hero of Lightning pulled the ring from his hand. With the motion power cracked through the skies, lightning summoned to its hero's command. Preparing for more sorrow the Hero of Fire called out one last time; the Hero of Lightning's smirk became a softer smile as he looked upon his soul-brother, twisting the lightning to himself - and, more importantly, to the Hero of Darkness. For long had the Hero of Lightning been gathering magic into the ring, limiting the flow within himself in exchange for it passing undetected by the enemy's hands. And now he released it, not at the Demon Lord's back, but rather at the fifth hero, the Hero of Darkness. Realising what had occurred, the Demon Lord turned, throwing much of his power behind a single attack as he lunged at the Hero of Lightning. The smirk vanished into a scream as darkness tore through his chest, a single shot with every intent to kill. And yet, when he fell, there was yet a smile on the Hero of Lightning's bloodied lips; the Demon Lord was too late, and the deed already done.

300 Follower Celebration

Hello friends! I hope you’re all doing well! ❤ I thought I’d create a writing challenge to celebrate reaching 300 followers! ✨💃

First of all, when I joined Tumblr almost three months ago, I didn’t expect that I was going to reach 300 followers at all. Like, ever. I met such kind people on here who welcomed me with open arms! Thank you to everyone who chats with me, tags me in wonderful posts, reads my stories and/or provides me with feedback! I love you all! 

You really make me feel like part of the family, and we all know that family don’t end in blood. Tumblr has become a special place to me, so thank you! Below the cut, you can find 25 quotes from Modern Family. They will serve as writing prompts for SPN-related fics.

If you want to celebrate with me, join my challenge! But first, here are the rules:

Send me an ask with the number of your preferred prompt. Each prompt will only be given away once.

Everybody is welcome to join (as long as you’re at least 18 years old)!

Do not write anything that contains underage smut, incest or non con.

Your submission has to be either a reader insert or an OC, the story itself is entirely up to you!

This challenge is not character-specific, so you can write about any SPN characters you want!

Let your imagination run wild and write fluff, smut, angst, AUs, whatever you feel like! 

Feel free to combine the prompt with other challenges or bingos!

Use warnings for anything that might be triggering!

Tag me in your fics and make sure to use #avanaturals300celebration as one of the first five tags.

The deadline is January 31st, 2022. We all know life can get messy, so if you can’t make the deadline, just send me a message! 

I will reblog and comment on every fic and create a masterlist with all submissions.

And finally, the most important rule: Have fun with it! ❤ No pressure, just let the creativity flow when it feels right.

Rally’s Scribbles in the Work

So after that lovely anon blew my mind away with their kind words and wonderful support, and because I keep telling you guys about my writing plans without actually giving you even a teensy little detail, I have decided to stop being coy and actually likely get your hopes up a bit by dilvulging small details and bits of plots of what is currently going on in my G-Drive. 

This will be a brief recount of what I have currently baking in the AoMomo oven, so let’s dive right into it! Please note that the numbers are in no particular order - I just keep revisiting each of these stories and writing a bit more to them whenever I feel like it. So there’s no ranking and no importance, just a number to keep proper count.

1. “Knight of Renown” Dragons and Knighthood AU, based on that one AoMomo pic with Momo ithe Knight and Dragon Aomine that I reblogged a while back and I actually let me imagination go a bit too much in the tags. I ended up actually rather enjoying the premise I set up in the tags so I actually started writing that one out!  Completion rate at about: 5%? I’d say? Less? :D 

2. AoMomo Music AU - a dearly beloved project that I am pouring a lot of love and attentioin to. That’s why it’s coming along super slow. It’s been in the making since November and I chewed it and mulled through it so thoroughly that I’ve grinded to a halt with it. Intending for there to be 2 chapters, and I am at about 25-30% of chapter 1 currently ready currently. At the pace I’m going, it might be another full year before you actually get to see this bad boy up, but when you do, I’m sure you’ll see all the care and effort that went into making it perfect. Honestly, no joke here, I am intending for this to be one of my rare masterpieces in this tag. So I’m not gonna rush it!

3. AoMomo Car Accident AU where Daiki barely manages to save Satsuki from being run over by a hit-and-run and ends up being the one run over instead. This was my first piece of writing after coming back to AoMomo last summer and yet completion rate is a sad thing. I want it to be flawless, a perfectly agonizing, thrilling type of torturous read that gives you a great sense of relief by the end of it. Needless to say, the clusterfuck of negative feelings is a bit difficult to hold onto for a prolonged period of time and the work is coming along slowly. Planned at about 5 chapters, I have 2 complete ones and the 3rd one is at about ... 30%? Hopefully before this year’s whumptober, we’ll have a finished piece!

4. AoMomo bond character study, which went in a direction I did NOT expect nor intend. It was suppsoed to be an idea that you will see also listed below. But I started this one from their early childhood and somehow, instead of focusing on the kids and their bond and their weird interactions with each other and their first moments of realizing they are of opposite genders, it turned into something much too fun to let go of and the ideas for scenes just kept piling. It’s going to be a long one, very explorative and very in-depth character study on the bond between these two and how it changed over the years, and their first encounters with their sexuality inbetween (because that was really the main idea that I started with... xDDD;;;) Currently at 1 chapter complete, chapter 2 somewhere around 50-60% completion, and at least 6-7 chapters to come after that, soooo.... :’DDDD YEAH. THIS ONE AIN’T SEEING THE LIGHT OF DAY ANYTIME SOON.

5. AoMomo deciding to practice stuff on each other, because I am a sucker for this trope.THIS will be what the idea under previous number 4 was SUPPOSED to be like, but it instead spun out of control. So this one, under number 5, is going to be the smutty, idiots bumbling through physicality to discover that they actually have serious feelings for each other kind of piece. Chapters are planned at about at least 6-7 or so, but not my usual monstrocities! :D First we start with practice kissing, and we move our way up from there! 

6. “The Evil of Humanity” AU - a dystopian futuristic kinda mecha AU, sort of an amalgamation of some of my favourite anime in the genre - a bit of NGE, a bit of Gurren-Lagann, a lot of Darling in the Franxx rewrite and improvement, in distinctly AoMomo colors. I poured a lot of thought and love into initial outline of main moments for this one, and I really hope to make it an epic, thrilling action/adventure with a big dash of romance kind of read! Chapters currently not even planned properly, because I need to sit down and consider this seriously. It will definitely be more than 10-15 though, and they will be my usual chapter lengths so.... likely no time soon. :D 

7. Aomine Fanclub - I got a plot bunny some time ago and I shared it here and my friends were spurring me on with it, so I started trying it out a little more. I’ve written out like... maybe 30% of this one as well, but need to re-read and reconceptualize to get it back on track. The issue with this one is that I’m not really sure where I want to take it, thus it’s on the back burner at the moment.

8. KagaKuro AoMomo double-date kind of story, where Aomine is asking some curious questions of Taiga about going to America and pondering if any of his immediate friends know what Satsuki wants to do with her life. I’m really invested in this one but haven’t started properly writing it out yet beyond just sketching out the idea so I don’t forget it. (I’d say 1% complete here.) Really looking forward to using the idea of Kagami being super impressed with AoMomo perfect sync when playing as a team in arcade games!

9.Laws of Attraction Chapter 2 - You might be surprised at this, but I’m actually super invested in this one. Likely the reason why I am delaying so much working on it - I feel like all my great scene ideas are just too chaotic and I have a hard time starting the chapter flowing properly. I had like 4-5 false starts already and I’m feeling a bit skittish with picking it up. But I have such AMAZING concepts on where to take it after it revvs up the engine, so... Maybe sometime this year! Completion rate: 0% written, but at least about 30% ideas built up for the installment!

10. AoMomo college rooming together story - sort of an expansion on my fill for one of the prompts way back those years ago in AoMomo week. I really dig the concept and the trope of sharing spaces with someone you consider nothing more than a friend and then gradually learning to appreciate each other for something so much more. I am definitely doing this one some day, but not anytime soon, likely.

11. A random idea bit me the other day (read: a month ago) and I actually wrote out like... maybe 25% of it already as well. A random comment from Wakamatsu miffs Satsuki but then she realizes why he’s asking dumb questions and she comes to realize that something is wrong with the equation: either Dai-chan likes someone really close to them and she hasn’t realized, which is unlikely, or Dai-chan likes HER and is super blase about it in a way that betrays his feelings not at all, which is even more unlikely. Being a curious  individual, she sets out to find which it is! Some hilarity should ensue but mostly just some mess-with-Dai-chan fun!

12. Touou summer training camp at the sea - progress is practically 0, I wanted to write a summery piece and set my mind on this, but nothing beyond has come to me, so I’m not forcing it.

13. AoMomo cultural festival fic in second year of high school (meaning something approx end of Oct -> beginning of Nov.) with Daiki being in a distinctly Haruhu Suzumiya role at that festival (has anyone even seen this anime? I adored that episode to freaking bits, man, it’s engraved upon my soul) and singing Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell” and one more song just like Haruhi did. And Satsuki just beholding the phenomenon he becomes in no time flat while he lays bare his passion for life for all the student body to see. Shippiness will happen in private afterwards!

14. You Can Leave Your Hat On Chapter 2 - Probably like 2-3 years ago while I was still in the damn woodwork and wrestling with real life and adulting being crap, I remembered this AU premise and I got super hyped on the idea of Club Owner Dai-chan being a flirt with innocent Satsuki who got dragged to his joined and fell in love at first sight with his shenanigans. I’ve already played around for like 7k words with the second chapter of this but I’m still not where I want to be at, so it will take a while longer to flesh it out.

15. Idol Worship - a story that I promised my mate aricana some 6 years ago the premise for which I am super hyped for but not quite engaging with it yet. The idea was that Momoi finally starts gettiing the dates she has been pesting Kuroko for for years, and Daiki feeling terrible about beholding that, whilst Kise is being pestered by Horikita Mai for a date and instead ditches her with Daiki because he knows his former Teikou classmate is a huge fan of her. Mai-chan isn’t particularly happy but somehow ends up enjoying her time with Daiki and starts considering actually pursuing him instead of Kise when she sees what an interesting soul he is, with the torch that he’s carrying for some girl in his life he doesn’t really talk about but is evident from the little things he drops off as hits. AoMomo shenanigans will start to ensue properly when Satsuki realizes that Daiki is actually having a close female friend who is not her but is Horikita Mai instead, Dai-chan’s perfect woman, practically. She doesn’t take well to the news and has to grapple with why that is! And what to do with these newfound frustrating emotions!

16. Obstruction of Justice Chapter 3 - MAYBE SOME DAY, I WILL GET TO WRITING THIS. Last summer I inteded to do just that but instead, Wild Side of Justice was born. And it became a spin off of sorts on its own. ORZ. I WILL FINISH THIS SOME DAY, I do have some plans for it and I do have the desire to pursue them. I just need to be in the right headspace for it ahsjkfhkjaf

17. A PWP story of Kagami arriving early for a practice match at Touou and somehow walking in on AoMomo getting busy with each other in very unexpected and explicit ways that Kagami did not see headed his way. Because, we need more PWP in this fandom, honestly.

18. And since we DO need more PWP, recently when checking the 30 lemons community on LJ (shut up, I’m not ancient, YOU’RE ANCIENT) I was wondering how exactly a smut plot around the “Taken by the Faceless Stranger” could work for Aomomo and I came up with this Masquerade ball that they end up both attending because of their friends and meeting each other and hitting off fantastically just chatting the night and then banging in a niche in the long castle-like premise of the ball. :’DDDD Cuz it’s me and if I don’t have something like that in the works, you know i’m likely sick.

ALL OF THESE I am planning on eventually finishing one day. ONE DAY!

For now they are in various states of completion and in various stages of being cared for and improved on with more ideas added and fleshed out.

I am not joking when I say I am very invested in this fandom. I just have difficulty getting to writing out these ideas when I spend like 60% of my free time playing my mobile games. :D 

So there you have it. I didn’t want to say anything about these because 1) I don’t want to get your hopes up. You Can Leave Your Hat On 2, for one, has been in the making for 3 years, very on-again-off-again kind of way, and I just... can’t do that to you guys. I have decided against posting any incomplete fics so I don’t torture you guys and my muse doesn’t abandom me forever for them. So when something is complete, it gets posted promptly for your viewing pleasure!

And 2) If I divulge too much of the story, I feel like my hype of it may disappear completely. Ehh, my muse is a willful creature, what can I tell you... 

So let’s hope at least SOME of these get to see the light of day soon!

Chapter 10: The Final Battle

You look out the window from your bedroom as Ciri and Triss talk. Even from this distance, you can see they're on edge. 

You take off your tunic, setting it aside as you open the chest at the foot of your bed. Your old studded leather armour sits neatly folded at the bottom of the chest, staring back at you, unthinking, unmoving. You almost expected it to have just been a hallucination you had conjured up over the years. But, there it lay. Quiet, covered in a layer of dust. 

You hear footsteps walking toward your bedroom, and a voice starts to call out, but their feet stop, and so do their vocal chords. Turning around you see Geralt, standing in your doorway, staring at your chest. 

He starts walking over slowly. You stand still. Geralt's cat-like eyes glance up and down the length of your torso. He reaches a hand out and places a few fingers on the scars set in your skin. You shiver under his touch, his fingers cold. He pulls away for a moment, but you grab his wrist, placing his hand flush against your chest. His fingers splay over your chest and you let go, watching as he reaches up with his other hand. 

"All those arrows we found… the blood…" Geralt pulls away, his hands coming to rest at his sides. 

You shake your head. "Those were the arrows that missed me." 

"There's three scars here. From Arrows. And one…" Geralt turns you slightly, his fingers resting on your shoulder. "A scar. From a dagger." He leans in to inspect it, And you half expect him to kiss it, like so many have kissed his scars. You remember him grumbling about it years ago. You still haven’t forgotten that night. Not yet, at least. "You didn't follow your own advice. Could have used that poultice you said I should have used." 

You laugh and grab your under-tunic for your armour, slipping it over your head. "Yes well. I didn't really have a choice. Triss was the one to find me, take care of me." You start strapping your armour on, buckling the chest piece in place first. "Ciri mentioned some songs Jaskier wrote after I died…" 

Geralt sighs with a small smile on his face. "Yes, yes. It was a well of inspiration for him." 

You smile as you don the rest of your armour. "What does the song sound like?" 

"You want me to sing?" 

You shrug. "Think of it as a battle song. Something to wish me luck." 

Geralt sighs, but he sings anyway. 

"Near the town of Jana A silver Jackal lay Respected at night by fauna And flora during day.  He lay on on a bed of Wolfsbane Was clothed in Celandine. Our silver Jackal slain The end to his bloodline. And so our story ends Our song comes to a close,  So listen close my friends To this tale of grandiose.  Our silver Jackal may lay dead somewhere in the woods,  But you’d do best to remember friends, he is nothing short of good."

It's rough, and he definitely doesn't hit the right notes, but there's something about Geralt's voice. It's not Jaskier's, not by a long shot. But it's rough, like Geralt. 

You smile as you strap your swords to your belt. "That was beautiful," you say, placing your hand on Geralt's shoulder. "Thank you for that." 

Geralt nods, and you walk out of your room, leaving the Witcher alone. 

You make your way outside where Ciri and Triss are waiting, Ciri with her sword ready, and Triss with her arms outstretched, ready to cast when necessary. 

As you walk up, Ciri looks over at you, from over Triss' shoulder. "Lookin' good," Ciri says, and you nod. 

Triss looks over and smiles delicately, sadness and nostalgia in her eye. "I haven't seen you in that armour in years…" 

You roll your shoulders and the plate mail clinks against the chains underneath. "I don't quite fit it anymore it seems. A bit tight in the armpits…" Ciri and Triss giggle, and you feel compelled to laugh along with them. It's like old friends meeting up again for the first time in years. "So. Today's the day, huh?" 

Ciri stops laughing as you say that and frowns. Triss follows soon after and says, "It may not be today." 

"Then what did I put my armour on for?" You ask. 

Triss married her eyes at you. "Because, it could be today. It could also not be. We don't know." 

You frown. "Well, at least they gave us enough time to prepare. A little convenient, don't you think?" 

"Don't take anything for granted. If you do, you could lose your chance," Geralt says, walking up to your little group. 

You look over at him and say at the same time as Ciri, "Vesemir." 

Geralt nods and stands next to Ciri, placing a hand unconsciously on his silver sword. You have your own sword in your hand, prepared for anything. The glade falls silent as your party stands, waiting, listening for something, anything to happen.  Wind whips through the tall grasses, and it sends a shiver up your spine. The air around you makes the hair on your arms stand on end, and you watch your breath cloud from your mouth. Looking to the forest, you see a few winter wolves stepping out, the fading sun glinting off their crystal forms. Behind them, is a large man in grey armor, riding an equally armored horse. Frost mists off them as they walk toward your group. As they fully emerge into the clearing, you see five wolves walking alongside their silvery rider. They unsheath an axe, pointing it at your group of fighters. The wolves growl and bound forward. You and Geralt step off to the right while Triss and Ciri walk to the left. Three leap toward Triss and Ciri, while only two rush up to you and Geralt. 

One leaps for your throat and you bring your sword up, blocking it while turning out of the way, sharp claws miss your throat by mere centimeters. If your left arm were still there, perhaps it would have dug into it. But it's not there. 

You ready yourself again as Geralt lashes out, slamming his blade into the crystalline armour of the beast. It screeches in pain as the other comes up around you. You take one, and Geralt takes the other. You slash and dodge, rolling out of the way of claws and maws, and you come to Geralt's side, taking a defensive stance. You look over to him, and he nods. You nod back, and the two of your deftly switch animals. You block an incoming strike and move away from Geralt, pirouetting out of the way, getting the wolf alone. You lash out and pierce the wolf’s shoulder with the tip of your blade, driving it in and twisting it around. It howls and falls to the ground. You wrench your sword from the wolf’s shoulder and swing your sword into the air and drive it down into the creature’s heart. The wolven creature gives one last pathetic whine before dying. Almost instantly, as if by magic, the ice melts away leaving only the crystal and rock of its hide to fall to the ground. 

You turn and see Geralt still battling it out with his Wild, and you call out with a smirk, "Take your time, old man." 

He rolls his eyes, but you see a small smile form on his lips. He looks like he's about to retort, but his eyes grow wide, and he instead shouts out, "Behind you!" 

You roll out of the way just in time as a large mace lands next to you in the mud. Looking up, you see a helmet covered head, with a skull where the face should be. A chill runs up your spine as you look up at the being, but before you can do anything, you're knocked to the ground by a heavy blow. The wind rushes out of your lungs and stars fill your vision. You gasp in a breath as your vision comes back to you, and you see the growling face of a wolf in front of you. Its exhale comes out in a cold cloud, and you try and push it off, but its claws dig into your arm and shoulders. You scream out in pain as you reach up with your sword and bat weakly at the stone hide. 

Suddenly, a blast of fire hits the wolf in the face, an inch away from your face. 

You scramble away from it as the creature falls to the ground with a yelp, and you watch as Triss comes over and offers you a hand. 

"Where's Ciri?" You ask as Triss fires another fireblast at the wolf. 

"Helping Geralt with the big dude," she says, tilting her head in their direction. 

The wolf finds the courage to bound up, and you swing down at it, lodging your blade in the middle of it's back. "You killed your wolves already?" 

Triss walks up and blasts fire right through the neck of the wolf. "Of course I did. They weren't that hard. You're just getting slow, old man." 

"I may be slower, but I can still kick your ass," you grumble to yourself as Triss turns to face Geralt and Ciri who are fighting with the man who was on the horse. He has since dismounted and is now swinging his maul about. 

Wolves come tearing across the clearing at you and Triss, and while she sets them ablaze with her fire, you lop off their heads one by one. One of the wolves jumps for your left, but you dodge out of the way and smack it with the flat of your blade, sending it to the ground with nary more than a whine before stabbing down with your sword into where the heart would be. It melts into the grass, the armoured plates scattering on the ground. You and Triss fight your way over to Geralt and Ciri who are fighting with the large man. Ciri rolls out of the way and pirouettes as she dodges a swing. Geralt goes in for a swing with his blade, the armoured fighter holds up an arm and Geralt's blade glances off. The two work like a well oiled machine, using moves both of them knew. But watching, you can tell some key differences between them. Geralt's moves are practiced, perfect, like he's run them over and over again, both in his head and with either a dummy or a monster. While Ciri on the other hand… well… her moves are less than perfect. But, she makes them work. She ducks and dodges for every part Geralt makes, and that works for them. Ciri's quick. Geralt's strong. 

You and Triss bound over, you stabbing with your sword up between the plate armour, but the… the thing doesn't so much as cry out. It doesn't even flinch. It just looks back at you and lashes out with a fist, sending you flying into the grass. You grunt as you get up, your head still spinning from your previous altercation with him. Triss and Ciri and Geralt are all battling him at the same time, and when he thrusts his maul into the air to strike down, you see it. Underneath the plate mail, right above the kidneys, a weak spot. 

Bingo. 

You lunge over, piercing into the cold, blue skin showing underneath. You hear him grunt in pain, clearly striking some large nerve as he falls to the ground with a growl. Ciri walks up and rips the helmet off his head revealing a very blue, frostbitten elf. She grabs his hair and he grunts again as your sword starts to cut him open more. 

She smirks as she tightens her grip on his disgusting grease covered hair. "You want my blood?" She wipes a trickle of blood away from her mouth with the hand holding her sword and looks down at the bright red against her pale flesh. The elf eyes it in interest, before she drives her sword into his throat, cutting off anything else he could have possibly said. "Well, you can't have it." 

You let go of your sword and the man falls to the ground, clutching his throat as his lungs fill with liquid and he starts to choke on his own blood. 

You look up at Ciri and nod, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Good work kid. I'm proud of you." 

She's panting, but she's smiling. You look up at Geralt and see he's watching you. 

He's always been watching you. 

~~

You watch as Geralt packs his bag inside the bedroom, his pack being filled with food and water, a dagger, a few extra shirts, and a box. You don’t see what’s in the box, but you watch him open it, looking inside, before stuffing it into his pack. You smile at him as you lean on the doorframe, and he turns around, almost shocked that he didn’t hear you until now. 

“You’re leaving, huh?” You didn’t want that to come out of your mouth, but it did. It’s too late to take it back now. 

Geralt takes a step towards you, but there’s still a horse length of space between the two of you still. “We’re leaving. To go back on the road. Find some new jobs.” You nod as he says this, pushing off from the door frame, stepping slightly closer. "You could come with us?" You tilt your head at Geralt's offer. "I-I mean, you could come. With us. It would be nice to have someone else around."

You smile and shake your head. "No. I have too many responsibilities here. I have Jaime to look after. I have my cottage, my garden. What more could I ask for?" You pose this as a question, but it's more of a statement. You can't ask for anything more. But your voice wavered, because there's something else you want.  

Geralt moves forward again, reaching a hand out, and you watch as it falls back to his side, limp. Lifeless. Hanging with purpose, like he has to force it down. 

"I'll miss you," you say quietly, your voice only barely above a whisper. Geralt walks up to you, reaching a hand out to place it on your cheek. You lean into his rough hand, smiling sadly as you do so. Geralt leans in and presses a kiss to your forehead, and you have to close your eyes. You don't want him to see how much this hurts you. 

He pulls away, but you don't open your eyes. "Thank you [Y/N]. For everything." 

You nod as you hear Geralt's footsteps walk back toward the bed, and then out past you, his shoulder brushing yours as he leaves without so much as a goodbye. You have to force yourself not to cry. You listen as two footsteps leave your small cottage, and close the door behind them. 

You don't move for several minutes, just staring at the floor in your bedroom. So much time passes that you forget how to stand, and your shoulder slumps against the doorframe. That's when you shake your head to clear the thoughts you're having. 

And you move to the kitchen where a full mug of ale is waiting for you. You look around in thanks, knowing that Triss was the one to leave it for you. You watch through the kitchen window as Geralt and Ciri walk into the forest, leaving you alone, once again. You down the rest of your mug, before it fills up again. You stare at the floor, contemplating what you're going to do next. 

You suppose you can plant some more flowers, tend to those. You could also learn to cook more, maybe raise a couple of animals. Maybe you could get a dog. That would certainly make things less lonely in between the times when Triss came to visit. Maybe you could even- 

Your thoughts are cut short when the door next to you opens, and when you look up, you see the bright white hair of Geralt staring down at you. Your eyes light up as he steps in and takes a seat in front of you, and grabs the mug that just appeared there, or that you didn't notice before. 

"You're staying?" 

"I'm staying." 

You lean over the table and grab his face in your hands, kissing him. 

You don't care that you just knocked over your mug, don't care that the ale is now dripping between the cracks in the wood onto your shoes. You can always make new ones. With Geralt. 

Epilogue

Ciri stands next to Jaime, a flower in each of their hands. In Ciri's, a white lily. In Jaime's, a stick of grey pussy willow. They stand in the cleaning, now filled with wildflowers and tall grass. It hasn't been upkept. There's no one to take care of it anymore. 

Ciri and Jaime stand in front of two, grey stoned graves, each with a name. 

One that reads; 

"Geralt of Rivia.  The White Wolf."

And the other that says in unflinching letters; 

"[Y/N] [L/N] The Silver Jackal."

And both of them say; 

"Apart in Life  Together in Death And with the edge of a knife  They take final breaths.  But after they die  Their story's not over yet  Because like the trill of a Magpie  In death, they will be together yet."

Ciri pulls Jaime close to her side, and kisses them on the head, and they watch the sun set behind the glade. It sets on your story, it sets on your lives, but with night, new creatures come out to play. 

And the cabin in the glade is dark, and nothing stirs inside.

A10 : So long, fuck u crow.

[kaiba-fangirl]

Fill in the questions/statement as if you are being interviewed for an article and you were your muse

Tag 10 people to do this meme, (repost, don’t reblog)

TAGGED BY: not @rogueprinceconsort =P & I know I’m not a RP blog, but I am a fanfic author so I still do the same kind of stuff, just everyone at once with chapters, so I’m sure ya won’t mind... idk itching to write Seto but his mind is all over the place in Ch7 of And You? (AO3/FFN), & I know I’ve missed a bunch of personal tags in the past, so, well, I’m here now. TAGGING: anyone 1. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

“Seto Kaiba.”  (海馬 瀬人 Kaiba, Seto)

2. WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?

He narrows his eyes, already suspicious. “Legally, that IS my real name.”

3. DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU WERE CALLED THAT?

“I was born Seto,” he answers flatly, then smirks. “The Kaiba family name I earned for myself and my little brother at the age of 10, when Gozaburo agreed to adopt us thanks to my, superior negotiating skills.” [Seto after Egyptian Pharaoh Seth. Kaiba for, apparently, hippocampus/seahorse.]

4. ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN? “Taken. Happily married to the number 1 female duelist, Mai Valentine. She’s now heading the new Fashion Tech and Merchandise Department at Kaiba Corp.” [but he’s also still looking >.>]

5. HAVE ANY ABILITIES OR POWERS? “Just bleeding edge technology development and superior dueling skills,” he shrugs smugly. [and hacking.] [You also accidentally activate latent magical powers every so often, dumbass. Sure he’s a genius. A genius that weaves techno-sorcery into everything & commands gods without even knowing it.] “Anything else you may have heard about magic or spirits or real monsters, is all just nonsense hocus pocus. It’s sensationalists trying to make our amazingly life-like holographic projections seem dangerous.”

6. STOP BEING A MARY SUE/GARY STU. “Heh, doesn’t that just mean born talented? You should be so lucky.”

7. WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOR? “Blue,” he chuckles childishly. “It was probably what first drew me to, you know, Blue-Eyes, when I was young.” [It’s not. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon was his magical monster of light ‘girlfriend’ in Ancient Egypt in a past life of his 3000 years ago.]

8. HOW ABOUT YOUR HAIR COLOR? “Chestnut.”

9. HAVE YOU ANY FAMILY MEMBERS? “Living, my little brother, Mokuba, and now my lovely wife.”

10. OH? WHAT ABOUT PETS? “No pets. I barely have time for having two people in my life now it seems, and that’s even with Mokuba off travelling.” [any pet energy is expended on more Blue-Eyes White Dragon themed everything]

11. THAT’S COOL I GUESS, NOW TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE. “You wanna see a REAL Gary Stu?! As in, there is no reason he should have made it this far?! Joey fuckin Wheeler. This loser stole his way into my tournament, then has the nerve to even challenge me for 3rd place as if that meant anything, and he still ends up 4th even?! How! He operates on pure luck, and leeching off his ‘friends!’ His deck is a mess, I mean have you even seen his lineup?!?!” [Well that would all be redacted. Now, since this is for an interviewer for a published article...] He calmly and thoughtfully looks off at a spot on the far wall behind the interviewer. He purses his lips and furrows his brow, genuinely distraught, drawing from a direct encounter. “I’m actually more concerned than ever about the state of refugees- whether they have that official label or not. Around the world. Especially the children. These children don’t know what’s going on, and people say they care about children, but they really don’t. They’re not thinking of those kids- of refugee kids. Of poor kids. Of orphans or abused kids. And the way these refugees are being treated, those kids are getting hit with all those things at once. Ya know, I- I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity to be adopted, in a strong first-world nation, but I know what it’s like, to know that the grown ups are just using you, not listening to you. You’re nothing to them; maybe pawns. Now, I’m doing all I can, as president of Kaiba Corp, but there is still only so much we can do. We’re not making tanks or any weapons at all anymore-” He chokes at the thought of a tank staring him down specifically, compared to the latest news. He clears his throat to manage. “Not since the day I took over. We may not be contributing to that military industrial complex anymore, but the state of refugees today is still just as bad if not worse. Now they’re using weapons outlawed by the Geneva Conventions, and in countries that pride themselves on freedom and opportunity. Pteh. It’s madness. It’s evil.” [...aaand that just became the cover story] [We’ll be back after after a short break.]

12. DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES/ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE DOING? “Besides dueling, uh, tinkering. Reading. Hacking into random databases I shouldn’t be in.”

13. EVER HURT ANYONE BEFORE? “Next question. Don’t even print that, or you’ll be hearing from my lawyers. And they don’t play so nice.” [By ‘lawyers’ I’m pretty sure he just means goons.]

14. EVER… KILLED ANYONE BEFORE? "No.” [Gozaburo.]

15. WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU? "Dragon.”

16. NAME YOUR WORST HABITS. "Tch, I wouldn’t have gotten to be president of a multi-billion-dollar corporation if I had bad habits.”  [That is literally his worst habit. Also how he got there is because of all his bad habits.] He chuckles at what he’s about to make fun of. “Then again, some people think that working too much is a bad habit.”

17. DO YOU LOOK UP TO ANYONE AT ALL? "How could I when I’m already on top?”

18. GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL? "Irrelevant.” He smiles menacingly. “Card games are more important anyway.” [Bi and trying to figure out how to tell his wife. Then again once he does that, the press will be easy. Possibly also grey ace or demi, since he does enjoy the physical aspects of being married & his crush.]

19. DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL? “Graduated high school early and then went right back to work as CEO, at the time. I don’t have time to waste getting a piece of paper to validate my knowledge that I’m already putting to use at Kaiba Corp everyday. --but I certainly support everyone staying in school as long as they can. Kaiba Corp offers a free college tuition program for any employee, paid ahead of time, and schedules can be worked around class and homework time as needed.”

20. DO YOU EVER WANT TO MARRY AND HAVE KIDS ONE DAY? “I never thought I would want to marry, but I have always assumed I would want to adopt. Now I am married, and we both want to adopt. Someday. It needs to be when I can have time for them...” [and he’s wondering why you are supposed to only marry one person...]

21. DO YOU HAVE ANY FANBOYS/FANGIRLS? “Yeah,” he laughs, genuinely embarrassed at this level of pure idolization, “I find it endearing to see people dress up as Yugi and I at events.”

22. WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF? “Losing my little brother.”

23. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY WEAR? “Full-length pants, tight fitting turtlenecks, boots, and a trenchcoat. More leather and straps and buckles, the better.”

24. DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE? “Of course. My little brother and my wife.” [and Joey]

25. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WET YOURSELF? [he just makes this face:]

[but possibly the last time he did hard drugs]

26. WHAT CLASS ARE YOU? (HIGH CLASS, MIDDLE CLASS, LOW CLASS) “Highest class.” He winks, for the spotlight.

27. HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE? “I don’t need ‘friends’ outside of my family.”

28. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON PIE? “Finally, an intelligent question!” he laughs rudely. “My thoughts are that we should change the standard approximation for π to something closer to 3.16. That’s what I use in my calculations, and I find things just seem to work out better for me because of it.”

29. FAVORITE DRINK? “I’ve started drinking a lot more water, and I think that’s pretty much all I drink lately.”

30. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE? “It’s comforting being in my office, knowing where I belong, knowing that with me there, everyone I love is safe, knowing how I got there, and being proud of all I’ve accomplished, but...” [sometimes anxiety about it being Gozaburo’s old office creeps into his mind like an evil spirit or ghost...] “But more than that, I enjoy the wild freedom of just taking my Blue-Eyes jet out with some good music playing.” [oh my various gods he will always be an emo teen at heart <3]

31. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SOMEONE? He scoffs. “Yes, I am genuinely interested in my wife. Mai is an amazing person. And- Ah, and, um, next question?” [and Joey!]

32. WHAT’S YOUR BRA CUP SIZE AND/OR HOW BIG IS YOUR WILLY? “What kind of magazine is this for, anyway?” he asks as an aside, then thinks up a ridiculous enough response. “Ever hear of Zorc? I’d say that’s roughly one-third the size of mine.” Under his breath, he scoffs in disgust. “Imbeciles.”

33. WOULD YOU RATHER SWIM IN THE LAKE OR THE OCEAN? “Er, a private pool, thanks. Too many paparazzi anyplace else, and I wouldn’t want to close off anything from the public.” [I hear there’s a river in Egypt he lives in though]

34. WHAT’S YOUR TYPE? “Independent. Strong. Great duelist. Someone who knows what it’s like at rock bottom, but still managed to claw their way to the top...” [he spaces out off to the side]

35. ANY FETISHES? *zoom out to room full of Blue-Eyes White Dragon themed EVERYTHING* “Nah.” [*insert Will Smith presenting his AO3 tags]

36. SEME OR UKE? TOP OR BOTTOM? DOMINANT OR SUBMISSIVE?

[Switch! But “And You?” is stuck at a T rating, sooo...]

37. CAMPING OR INDOORS? "The fuck- you’re giving me whiplash with these questions,” he mutters. “Camping sounds nice. Real camping. Mokuba and I used to build forts and play outside a lot. I should ask him if he wants to go on a camping trip when he gets back. I doubt- well, no, I think Mai would like that, too.” [And Joey can cook them “candy bars!”]

38. ARE YOU WANTING THE QUIZ TO END?

Chapter 5: Every Situation gets Worse when Wolves are Involved

You're outside the next morning, picking the dead leaves and some of the bloomed flowers from your plants outside your cottage. The Fool's Parsley that stands the tallest on the right side of the door are shedding a few of their old leaves. You gather them to bake over a fire and toss into a salad. You pick a few of the blooming flowers on your honeysuckle plant that are in the same bed as your Fool's Parsley, planning to make them into a sickeningly sweet syrup. You can't use it for as many things as you can honey, but it does soothe the throat and stomach of all those it touches, provided it touches the spot needing to be soothed. On the left side, small bushes with Arenaria flowers sit squat, the white blooms reflecting the sunlight back. Those are good for upset stomachs, especially if one's feeling nauseous. You don't remember how many times you had to give a concoction of Arenaria flowers and Honeysuckle syrup to Jaskier. Joining the Arenaria on the left side are your bushes of Wolfsbane. You pick a few of the flowers, the ones that aren't as fresh anymore. You use them for your topical medicine, the one your mother taught you how to make. With Geralt using the last of your supply, you have to make more in case something happens.

Looking out you see a few Celandine bushes, the bright yellow against the dark green of the bush. There are a few Moleyarrow flowers here and there. You didn't like to pick them too much. They were much too pretty for that. Some dandelions and blowballs are also scattered about, here and there. You liked to pick them on sunny days, and turn the stalks into a dish. You would roast the stalks with salt and pepper, and some Sewent Mushrooms that Triss would always bring for you. 

There is something nice to say about Triss. She knows how to give a gift. Her food related gifts were the only ones you'd take from her anyway. 

You're collecting a few honeysuckle from your bushes when you hear the grass crunch beneath someone's feet. You desperately needed rain to grace your small clearing. Your plants have been feeling it too, their leaves turning brown and flaking off. Maybe you'd talk to Triss' about it. 

Speaking of, as you stand and turn, you see Triss standing there, in her blue robe, the hood pulled up around her head. She reaches up and drops it, revealing a head of curly, dark brown hair.

"Triss," you say simply, holding onto the box you place your honeysuckle in. 

"[Y/N]. You're looking less grumpy than usual," she says with a wry smile. You almost smile back. 

You gesture toward the house with your head. "Yes well, that's because I have guests." 

"Guests?" Triss asks, genuinely confused. "What guests?"

"[Y/N]! [Y/N]!" You hear from inside the house. "You need to see what-" 

The door slams open and Ciri comes barging out, stopping herself as she sees Triss standing there, staring at her. 

"Triss?" 

"Ciri!" 

Triss and Ciri run up to each other, embracing each other in a large hug. 

Triss pulls back and places her hands on the side of Ciri's face. She smiles. "You've grown." 

Ciri rolls her eyes. "No I haven't. You don't grow much after the age of… well like 15." Ciri shrugs. "I'm still the same old Ciri you knew five years ago." 

Triss frowns and furrows her brows. "Except with a few new scars…" 

Ciri reaches up and touches right underneath her left eye, where a jagged, red scar mars her face. She smiles, presumably thinking, before shaking her head and furrowing her brows to mirror Triss'. "What are you doing here?" 

Triss' face softens and she looks over at you, gesturing. "Someone has to keep the old man alive." 

You grunt and roll your shoulders. Your grip on your baskets' handle is so tight the wicker is groaning underneath your fist. "I can take care of myself." 

Triss nods. "I'm sure you can, but would you be happy without anyone to talk to?" 

"I'd be happier if you never came back…" you mutter to yourself. 

Triss leans over to Ciri and whispers, "He's just being grumpy. He loves me." 

You roll your eyes but don't refute it. Silence luls over your small group as you take in each other's company, all thinking about something different. You can only begin to speculate about what, at least for the other two. Your mind on the other hand is racing, trying to think if Triss ever mentioned Ciri. You can't recall a time when she did. 

You move to leave them alone, give them their privacy, set your basket down and sit somewhere. Your knees are starting to hurt. But the door opens and Geralt steps out before you can leave. Then Triss and Geralt make eye contact, whatever colour that was left in his face quickly disappears. 

"Triss?" Geralt asks, shocked. 

"Geralt." Triss almost sounds relieved. "It's good to see you again." 

Geralt nods and grunts in agreement. Or maybe it was dismissal. You've lost your ability to tell. 

You feel the hairs on your neck stand on end, a cold chill runs up your spine, and you freeze. The temperature of the air around you drops and you watch as, from the forest line, the green grass turns blue from a spreading frost. Geralt, Ciri, and Triss all look toward the forest, and you follow their sighline. 

Walking out of it is a stone hound. Its eyes are blue, bluer than the sky on a cloudless day, and frost rolls off its hide like a waterfall mists when it hits stone and is cast into the air. Its teeth are bared. Its shoulders are hunched forward. You can’t see its teeth from here, but you can only imagine they’re sharper than icicles in winter.

You look towards the others, whose eyes are wide with shock. "This can't be possible…" Ciri says quietly, almost as if to herself. 

"No, no, no!" Geralt exclaims, looking over at the two women in shock. 

"How is this happening?" Triss mutters, her fists clenched. They're starting to turn a bit red, as if she's preparing to throw a fireball at any minute. 

You look around at all of them, panicked. "What? What's wrong!" You ask, worried. 

Geralt turns to you. "The Wild Hunt." 

"The what?" You ask, confused. You know you've read about them before, but beyond knowing they exist, you've got nothing. You're drawing a blank. 

Ciri turns toward the cottage and says, "I'll explain later!” 

Three more wolves step out of the woods. 

Triss waves one of her hands above her head, muttering something to herself, and your basket of flowers is replaced with a copy of your silver sword. You know it's a copy because the weight is slightly too high on the blade. Even after all these years of not using it, you still know the weight of it in your hand like you held it yesterday. Many things are lost to time, but this is not one of them. 

Geralt and Ciri also now have copies of their swords in their hands. You watch as they balance the weight in their palms before grabbing onto them at the same time and readying their stances. 

You do the same as the wolves come bounding up, one to each of you. The wolf in front of you leaps into the air, its maw wide, saliva dripping from its' fangs, the droplets freezing before they even hit the ground. You're surprised by the strength of the creature as it bounds into you, knocking you off your feet. Its teeth latch onto your sword, but you manage to pull it free as you roll back and onto the balls of your feet, standing up in a ready position. 

The wolf circles you, snapping its jaw, sizing you up. Your eyes narrow, it backs up, and jumps into the air, lunging at you, maw wide, begging for a taste of your flesh. You swing your sword as it flies toward you. You strike it in the side, and while the hit didn't seem like it did much damage, the wolf flies off into the dirt. 

You rush up to it and hack away for as long as you can, but the wolf just gets back up. 

You jump up and away as it lashes out with its claws, missing you by an inch. It rolls onto its feet and starts moving toward you. You back up with each step it takes, but sooner or later it's going to jump at you, and you'll either hit it, or it will hit you. 

Luckily, you don't have to worry about that. Geralt runs up and hits it with his Igni sign, and the wolf is set ablaze. You thrust out with your sword just as Geralt does, and the wolf slumps over, dead. 

You give him a nod of thanks, and he nods back. You still know how to fight, but it's different with only one arm. You'll take all the help you can get. 

You look over and see Triss helping Ciri with her wolf as well. You look back to Geralt, who's glancing nervously at the forest, waiting for something else to happen. He doesn't have to wait long, as two more ice-wolves come darting out of the trees. You ready your stance next to Geralt, your shoulders barely brushing, as one of the wolves bounds up to you. Geralt swings up with his sword in a wide arch, hitting the underside of the wolf's jaw. You strike out as well, but your sword just glances off its' stone hide. 

The wolf rolls onto its feet and starts circling the two of you. You place your back against Geralt's. The wolf growls, frozen spittle shooting into the soft grass. The wolf disappears behind you, and you feel Geralt push back against you. You take a step forward and turn around, facing the icy wolf. 

Geralt lunges out, striking the wolf as you lash out and hit the beast as well. You lift your sword up as Geralt does, and you both strike down. Your swords cut through the rock, into the neck of the beast. Your swords cut clean through, and the wolf falls to the ground, and the head rolls a foot away from it. 

You look over and see Triss and Ciri battling their wolf, which perishes quickly. 

Ciri stands up straight next to Triss' and looks over at you and Geralt. You notice her arm's bleeding. Triss turns to her, starting to help heal her wound, and all your swords disappear. You grab Geralt's arm before he can run off, and he looks at you. 

You squeeze his arm, in comfort, and in reminiscence. 

Geralt walks over to Ciri, and you watch him help his daughter.
