Moment of Peace
sorceress!reader travels with geralt and ciri as their healer and ciris mother figure as geralts wife. one relaxing day, reader shows ciri a little party trick that geralt doesnt know yet. ends with geralt and reader play fighting about why she didnt show him but showed ciri; and them all acting like a family
(not my image)
As we finally settle in a meadow, surrounded by forest, I let out a sigh of relief. The feeling of sun against my face and the soft soil beneath me feels amazing.
"Ciri! Y/N! Go collect water. I'll be right back." Geralt commands, but before he can leave to collect wood and sustenance for the night, you stop him and give him a quick kiss.
"Be safe."
"Always am."
Those simple four words are all you need before you walk off into the forest for a few yards, before you come upon a clear water stream. You see Ciri standing in the water and feeling the sun while collecting water. As you join her in the water, she looks up.
"So... why do you allow him to order you around if you're his wife?" Ciri, blunt as ever, asks, not understanding that this is Geralt's way of showing his love.
"He doesn't 'order' me around. It's his way of keeping us safe. I'm a mage and can keep you safe. You're training and can keep me safe. Plus, he goes off and does the dangerous hunting, so we don't have to. It's his way of showing love." I explain his actions and why I react without losing my patience with the way Geralt talks to me.
"Oh. I didn't think about it like that." Ciri ticks her head to the side and continues to collect water.
"Geralt isn't conventional. But he is exactly how I want him. I wouldn't want it any other way." I start towards the bank of the river and continue walking along the greenery of the forest.
As Ciri looked on as you walked, she watched in mystery. The forest seemed to bend to your will. The trees would part to make a path for you and the stones would roll out of the way, leaving only soft soil for you to walk on.
As you both reached your camp site, Geralt was dragging a large deer, and a cloth behind him that was filled. Probably with wood.
You and Ciri both put your jugs down as Geralt drops the sack of wood off near you and walks to the trees to skin the animal for food & it's hide.
You have the sense to build the fire and let Ciri light it later. She's normally sleepy when you build the fire. Makes it easier.
As you both run around, you find a good size patch of daisies.
"Ciri!" You call over the girl, "Come here!"
The blonde girl runs over to see what you're looking at.
"Would you like to learn how to make a daisy chain? You can even put one on Geralt, if you'd like." You throw out the tempting offer to make the Witcher seem silly.
And Ciri quickly agrees. You sit down, careful to avoid the daisies, and show her how to make a daisy chain/flower crown.
As the sun is no longer at its nice, warm heat and enters the baking heat, you take Ciri down to the stream again to clean up. 'The sun will dry us faster' was your reasoning to drag the girl with you.
As you are cleaning your clothes and yourself off, you see Ciri doing the same. Perfect.
"Hey, Ciri! Would you like to see something?"
"Um... What is it?"
"I promise, no harm will come unto you from me. It's just a little party trick."
"Ok..." She waded closer to you as you met her in the middle of the stream.
You magically gathered the sweat and water from Ciri and yourself, throwing it into the air and condensing the clouds around the sun to have more water, allowing the clouds to form a sort of circle around the sun. As the sun continues to shine, the clouds begin turn colors... briefly pink, then a light green, and there's a light blue! (Refer to the picture at the top)
Ciri looks at the sky in awe. "You can do this?" She points to the clouds.
"Yes. When I was at Aretuza, they taught not just politics and magic. They taught basic sciences. This was one of those. I had asked my teacher why there as a rainbow after every rainfall. She explained it to me. Since then, I had been practicing it until I was able to perfect it. Took a couple tries, but it came one day, and it stayed."
"And you never showed me?" A deep, hulking voice inquired from the shadows. Of course, the yellow cat-like eyes gave him away.
"I'm sorry, Geralt. I thought of it as a mere party trick. And it's not like it is helpful when we are off on adventures." I laugh and 'apologize' for not showing my husband sooner.
"You better be sorry!" He charges out of the woods and into the stream, getting both you and Ciri wet again, before lifting you by the waist and carrying you back to base on his shoulder. Everyone was laughing and peace was covering the three of them.
Just a moment of peace.

Author's Cup of Tea:
I am so sorry the ending was bad. I didn't know what to put for the ending so I winged it. Thank you all so much for your love and support of my work! I love to see everyone enjoying it.
Blood of Elves/Time of Contempt inspired Yennefer and Ciri sketches. Also a rendered Ciri. I love this duo!
Blood of Elves/Time of Contempt inspired doodles of Ciri and Yennefer.
Now Ciri is done too! I am quite fond of these, hope y’all like the finished versions too!
Okay, I just want to say that Ciri's hairstyles were *chef's kiss*
Since I saw the episode of the fall of cintra I had an idea of an au where jaskier had been there to save ciri instead of geralt, and i finally got to draw it, so here is it!.
(it also includes the headcannon that jaskier knows how to use a sword and that he has been visiting ciri since she was a baby, but if you want to think it as jaskier just pointing his sword to anything that moves hoping to hit it, and cirilla confused by the mysterius mad man that is helping her to escape I fully approve it.
And if you were wondering, what ciri has in her back is jaskier lute.)
Yennefer and Ciri + parallels
What's scary about RocheCiri? Why do others always tell them no? :(
Okay... at first I thought there was a mistake and this question was for someone whose blog simply has a similar name. however, after I received the second question... oh..
To answer your question: honestly? I think nothing. I had to prepare a bit and asked my friends who are fans of the universe. most of them haven't even heard of this ship, and the rest who have met it before have a rather ambivalent attitude towards it.
Avallach/Ciri/Roche as the new Avallach/Lara/Cregennan?
To be honest... probably not. there are many reasons that make this dynamic quite problematic. First of all, Vernon is not a character from the Witcher saga, he was invented by CD Projekt Red for the games and appears for the first time in The Witcher 2 Assassin of Kings, so he has no canonical relationship or contact with Ciri. In the third part of the games, he helps Geralt in the fight against the Wild Hunt, but we do not find out whether he had closer contact with Ciri during the fight or during preparations.
For a change, Avallac'h appears for the first time in "The Tower of the Swallow" and has real contact with Ciri (which, as we know, results in her being manipulated). After the events of the books in the games, we only see him in "The Wild Hunt", where he spends time with her again, but mainly out of the players' eyes. However, it can be concluded that it was quite a significant period of time during which they had to stay together like it or not.
However, if I had to say which of the two Ciri would choose... objectively, I must say that it would probably be Avallac'h. We know for sure that she spent a lot of time with him, but we don't know what their relationship and attitude towards each other was like while escaping from the Wild Hunt. So one could hypothetically assume that (especially knowing what Ciri was like in the books) something was happening between them
However, as far as my personal opinion is concerned, yes, very much so as much as I wanted to, I don't think I would end up with one of them in the end.
The Witcher Netflix Review
Netflix’s The Witcher series starts with a bang. Everything within the world comes crashing down. Nilfgard has attacked and overtaken Cintra and Ciri has barely escaped with her life with the goal to find the man her grandmother told her about Geralt of Rivia. The first episode immediately pulled me in and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen in this story and world. The final two episodes made everything come full circle and I was left wanting more. Especially with the cliffhanger ending that episode eight left off on.
The series juggles three timelines with Ciri, Geralt, and Yennefer at the focus of each of their own timelines. Ciri’s timeline happens mainly after the fall of Cintra. Geralt’s timeline chronicles how he came to become Ciri’s fate. And Yennefer’s tells the story of an unwanted and powerless girl becoming a powerful and confident sorceress. All storylines were well told and got me to care for each individual character. I cheered when they succeeded and was sad when they failed. All three were well cast and now that I’ve seen their portrayals in the show I can’t imagine anyone else playing these parts.
Netflix clearly didn’t take any shortcuts with the production of the Witcher. All of the technical aspects look top notch. The CGI looks fantastic for a television series.The cinematography is also very gorgeous. The timelines and places are easily distinguishable from one another through lighting, filters, and set design. I never got one place mixed up with another.
I did think there were a few moments that were slow. They probably could have cut some content to tighten up the episodes a bit more. Episode five was the weakest of the eight episode series, but it did contain some relationship building that did affect the characters moving forward. Overall these weren’t that major because the show typically moved at a pretty brisk pace with important story of character beats happening fairly often.
I recommend this show for both fans and newcomers. Fans will enjoy seeing their favorite characters adapted for the screen and newcomers will not be lost in the world and will come to understand the characters and their stories well.
“people linked by destiny will always find each other”
Geralt knows nothing about parenting, but he does have years of heckling Lambert when he was an apprentice under his belt
Okay so—
It’s 3 am and I’m watching YouTube randomly and come across a video showing the characters of Steven Universe the first time they’ve showed up and then the last time they’ve showed up, so I gave it a watch. I’m just gonna say this now and let everyone know I’m not, a big part of the fandom or the show really, I think it’s an amazing show and I’ll watch some episodes but I can’t sit down and watch it beginning to end, its just not my person.
Anyways, me being me, while watching this video I start to come up with ideas. When I was friends with people who were in love with the show at the time, they’d get me to make some gemsonia’s for theirs and they hang out and party y’know? Like oc’s do and I come up with an idea, which could possibly already be out there, of maybe..... I dunno....
The Witcher characters as gems?
Hear me out hear me out, okay? For the people who know of the Witcher book series and game series, I’m sorry, I’m not that well informed about either though I wish to be, this will mostly tag along to the Netflix show of the Witcher. Just letting everyone know, just in case
Let’s start with little Ciri, our Lion cub, child surprise to multiple fans. I haven’t really thought too much about her situation, because it’s 3 am and I don’t want to make an exact copy of Steven Universe because everything should be original! But for her, I do know I think of her as the human, the small kid who’s pushed into situations like Steven, not sure if she should be half gem or just, human, but if she was half gem it would explain her powers— my point is, is that she is the tiny one the world, or her gems, revolve around.
Next, let’s go to the fool who called the law of surprise. Geralt himself. I’m stuck between thinking of him being a moonstone or an opal. One, I think moonstone just sounds really cool, and two because I know opals have that rainbow effect and I would love to have Geralt feel f e e l i n g s and he blushes and that exact same rainbow effect happens to his cheeks, I think that would just be adoring, wouldn’t you? He is a fighter, a protector, he cares deeply for Ciri and will do anything for her, her own little (big really) opal/moonstone. I would think his stone is on his hand, making his weapon(s) appear and able to use quicker.
Now, you maybe thinking well who else you got, and I’m gonna say it fellas, yes our beloved bard is in this too. I want Jaskier to pop out, like he always has, so I’ve thought of Lapis Lazuli. Reason? Well I got a few *shuffles cards* lapis is a beautiful and rich royal blue, eye catching, and in some lighting can be seen as purple, I know some lapis stones can have bits that make it looks like gold is laced into the stone, so it’s even more of a reason why, also Lapis Lazuli? Come on man, even the name is fancy. His stone would be easy, I know people may want it on his throat because uhhh duh, he sings, but I think it would be on his chest. Jaskier’s character has a big heart for everyone he meets, our dear heart Joey himself has told us that. If you want reference on how he acts, Steven universe’s Sardonyx personality is what I’d point my finger to. He’s a bard, he lives to preform. His weapon? No idea but don’t get on his bad side man.
Finally, and certainly not the last, Yennefer. Immediately I thought of Amethyst, a purple and beautiful gemstone. Amethyst is used for a lot of purposes, to looking pretty on a shelf to holding purpose in witchcraft, I’m not well educated in such thing, so I’m not going to say much other than I know it’s used in it. I’d say her gem is on her stomach, reasons being is that i just feel like it would be placed there and for the episode she traded the ability to give birth for beauty. Her weapon? I am not sure of that either, but like amethyst in Steven Universe, her mood varies.
For now, that’s all I have. I am tired, so that’s all I’m going to make for this. If anyone else wants to add or replace something, by all means I am open to anything, anything at all. I know I would like to add Esekl and Lambert somehow and what I’m thinking is maybe those two fuse to make Geralt, like Garnet with Ruby and Sapphire, and frankly, I think it would be hilarious. But for now, it’s time for bed.
best mom award goes to yen
May I request a prompt from the All genres in one post? Like number 7 and number 18?
7. “Can we get a dog?”
18. “How strangely nonchalant for someone who almost just died a minute ago.”
NONNIE IM EXHILARATED THAT YOU CHOSE TO PAIR THESE TWO TOGETHER I HAD FUN.

“Can we get a dog?” Geralt hums from where he’s working on the sofa, Ciri looking up at him with Roach in her hands.
“Why? Is Roach not cutting it anymore?” She gasps, holding the stuffed horse protectively to her chest.
“Don’t listen to him Roach, I could never get bored of you.” Jaskier nods solemnly from the other side of the couch, hiding his smile behind his notebook with the pretense of adding the final touches to his song. In reality, he’s waiting for The Cue.
“Good advice, Geralt has no idea what he’s talking about, Roach, pay him no mind,” he says and Jaskier grins as Ciri leans into her stuffie, ear pressed against its mouth.
“Roach says you’re right, daddy Jas, she also says that daddy Ger is a meanie!” Geralt frowns before looking down at her.
“We can’t get a dog.”
Ciri sets her little fists on her hips and Jaskier watches on in great interest as their daughter parts her lips.
“Actually daddy, we can. Daddy Jas told me you needed some con— coninc—”
“Convincing,” Jaskier whispers, ignoring the way Geralt glances at him as if he’d stolen the last bit of chocolate ice cream.
“Convincing!” Ciri yells, her tone victorious. “So we’re going to convince you,” she finishes with a solid nod. And there it is, The Cue.
Jaskier quickly jogs to their room, hiding snickers as he grabs two pillows; he hears Geralt ask Ciri just how they’re going to do that— oh and is his husband in for a surprise.
“Weapons at the ready, Ciri?” She carefully sets Roach on the Tv stand before grabbing one of the pillows, Geralt looking on in mild amusement.
“Ready, Jas!” Their daughter looks utterly ridiculous, one foot forward and the another behind her, her face so focused as he takes up the same position.
“Pillows raised!! And... chaaaarrrggggeeee!” Geralt’s eyes widen as they run the short distance to him, bringing pillows down on him as he curls smaller, laughing as Ciri grunts and trash-talks— you’re going down! Down like Valdo Marx in a singing competition against Daddy Jas!
Fuck, does Jaskier love them both so much.
“Fine,” Geralt grumbles, a properly put on frown gracing his face though he has tears from hiding his laughs. “Fine!”
“Yield!” Ciri screeches, smacking him again, and Jaskier is so proud of her.
“I yield! I yield, leave me be—” Ciri and Jaskier back away, panting and sweaty as they look on at Geralt’s form still curled up, shaking with quiet laughter.
“You’re a bad influence on her,” he grumbles, and Jaskier raises his pillow in a threat.
“How strangely nonchalant for someone who almost just died a minute ago, Geralt.” Geralt bursts out laughing, shaking and teeth bared as he closes his eyes. He’s so beautiful that it makes Jaskier’s throat dry.
“So?” Ciri asks, her pillow raised to smack her dad again, eyebrow raised in challenge. “Can we get a dog?”
Geralt groans. “Fine, we can get a dog.”
Jaskier’s quite sure the neighbors hear Ciri’s squeal before she hides her face in his stomach. Geralt grins and rolls his eyes in retaliation to his wink.
They spend the rest of the evening looking for names.

rb if you liked it so other people can read it too!!
Send me a prompt x
The Witcher but it’s Chris Fleming
Geralt: (giving dating advice) Sit on a grassy hill near their apartment and just…pet a crow. That way your lucky so-and-so will wake up and see you there, sharing secrets with night fowl.
Jaskier: Why even bother with demolition vehicles anymore when we could just grab a freshman theatre major auditioning for a cabaret troupes? The SWAT team should hire them to blow doors open.
Eskel: I don’t know if you’ve ever seen those oil paintings of goat demons screaming in the 1400′s, they’re horrific, but they look tame compared to a field hockey player roaring: “MY ANACONDA DON’T WANT NONE UNLESS YOU GOT BUNS, HON!”
Yennefer: This will show him that you’re not a Victorian piece of string cheese holding in her period until she’s whisked off her size four glass slippers by her prince, who in this case is a business major who can only get it up when he sees his own reflection in the TV during a Bond marathon.
Renfri: Witnessing an Adventure Family in the throes of an outdoor activity makes me want to put myself in a pelican’s mouth and say, “Just drive.”
Lambert: What kind of a prude enjoys a Crunch bar? You might as well just eat toast.
Triss: Panera is just McDonald’s that studied abroad and came back wearing a beret and cigarette jeans, thinkin’ it’s the shit because it got fingered by a mime!
Vesemir: Quit your day job and help me throw chicken nuggets at my neighbor’s fruity son.
Ciri: Nothing makes you feel more like a bed-wetter than your loved ones conspiring together behind your back.
dumb among us headcanons for the witcher:
lambert always acts sus; during emergency meetings, he’s always too dry and sarcastic for people to take him seriously, or he’s angry and cagey, so he always gets voted outta the ship. surprisingly good impostor, even better if he’s teaming up with kiera or geralt. typically gets killed off.
eskel is the best impostor, don’t even. dude can charm and lie outta any situation and will almost always throw geralt and/or lambert under the bus. one time, he and lambert were both the impostor, but cause lambert killed him first in an earlier round, eskel killed kiera and then managed to convince everyone that lambert did the deed. dude can be hella petty.
jaskier lies about everything. will lie that he isn’t the impostor. will lie that he is the impostor. will lie that he saw geralt murder yennefer despite not being in the room. will lie that he’s done all of his tasks. never gets killed off, never gets voted out. how?????
geralt is still trying to understand the controls, ciri help, ciri stop laughing, ciri how to do i call an emergency meeting, ciri why am i a ghost now, ciri how do ghosts carry out tasks, theY DON’T HAVE HANDS, CIRI
yennefer is a human lie detector and can almost always sniff out the imposter. she chooses not to expose jaskier, ‘cause they enjoy fucking with geralt. when she’s impostor, she always wins.
vesemir just wants to complete his tasks, leave him and his little blob spaceman alone, he just wants to stop this ship from malfunctioning, everyone leave him alone, he didn’t even want to play this stupid game
ciri finishes her tasks first, every time. she should’ve even be playing the game, it’s past her bedtime, but if kiera is babysitting her, then it’s fair game. also, she can’t sleep when she knows her dad is sulking at the computer cause he sucks with technology so, so, so bad.
kiera plays just to irritate lambert. she always hunts him down before everyone else. if lambert dies first, chances are, kiera is the impostor. always cheats by venting, ffs, kiera, stop using the fucking vents!
triss gets angry whenever people are too quick to vote, like fucking hell, at least wait for the evidence to build up, you’re ruining the game! also cheats by calling yennefer up midway through the game to plot nefarious deeds of subterfuge and sabotage.
leto plays without anyone knowing it’s really him. he changes his name every time, pretending to be iorweth, roche, zoltan and even priscilla. he dutifully carries out his tasks, but he always cheats. his one mistake was playing as valdo marx one time. no one’s ever heard such a roar emit from jaskier before and for the first time, in a long time, leto feels a flicker of fear.
