I Wrote The Thing

I did it. I wrote the thing. So here is where you shall find said thing. In chronological order.

all too much. - Tumblr || AO3

Sometimes the world can be too much. 

Geraskier | G | cw: emotional H/C

popcorn and m&ms. - Tumblr || AO3

Movie night with the boys. The start of something new borne from a long-standing tradition.

Geraskier | PG | cw: ~kisses~

a peeping pervert - Tumblr || AO3

Jaskier runs into some trouble at the gym.

Geraskier | G | cw: none

darling, please be mine - Tumblr || AO3

A hand glides over his, the fingers tracing over his knuckles softly, sending tingles up his spine. Jaskier does his best to hide how Geralt affects him, but he's never been good at hiding from Geralt.

Geraskier | PG | cw: build up ;)

deep in unknown eternity - Tumblr || AO3

Jaskier watched the bottle spin, hoping against all hopes that it would both land on him and skip him entirely.

Jaskel | G | cw: neurodivergent Jaskier

a sight for soft eyes - Tumblr || AO3

Geralt is constantly losing his glasses. For a being as long-lived as he is, it's not completely surprising that he would have some type of macular degeneration.

Geraskier | G | cw: heart melting fluff

the world offers itself - Tumblr || AO3

It’s Geralt’s first day at his new school and it’s scary. But Papa Vesemir and a new friend are there to make it all better.

Geraskel | G | cw: heart melting fluff, with the schoolboys ;__;

into the fields - Tumblr || AO3

This particular ritual required that the participants take their time in the beginning and Geralt was determined to enjoy himself. There was no telling if, or when, he'd ever have the chance to indulge in Jaskier's body again. If he was brave, he would ask this of Jaskier every night, to be wrapped tight in his arms. But he wasn't sure if Jaskier felt the same.

Geraskier | E | cw: Straight-up smut, my dude.

sweet life continues - Tumblr || AO3

Geralt pulls his hand away from Jaskier's grasp, seemingly reluctant. He turns slightly from Jaskier and reaches into his bag, pulling something from it. Jaskier is eager to see what it is, what could have been enough cause to change their usual path.
What could've been enough for Geralt to leave them at the base of the Blue Mountains for three days.

Geraskier | PG | cw: established relationship, they cute

laughter bubbles out - Tumblr || AO3

A date (not-so) ruined by the rain.

Eskier | T | cw: attempted kisses, licking of palms

(inundated with) the fated thought of you - Tumblr || AO3

There. Right there. The way the stretch marks swirl and dance over his soft, supple skin. It would be very fair to call Jaskier obsessed, he thinks. His fingers delicately trace the paths they painted on the canvas that is Geralt's soft skin, eyes glinting in the low candlelight as he sees the goosebumps rise on Geralt's flesh.
"Sensitive. I never would've guessed."

Geraskier | E-ish? | cw: almost smut, piiiiiiniiiiiiiig, yearning, aching, soft tummies

Some Sentence Sunday

Writing is hard, ya'll.

“How did I let you talk me into this,” Henry decidedly does not whine as Pez pushes him towards the darkened room ahead of them. He’d tried his best to convince Pez that he simply doesn’t do this, but nothing could sway his friend once his mind was set. If Pez hadn’t pulled him down this alleyway, Henry thinks he might have missed it all together. The alleyway is dark and cramped. Henry, if he had the time and space to think about literally anything other than Pez surely dragging him to what must be his untimely end, thinks that if he spread his arms to their full length, the tips of his fingers would brush the walls. The dirty… grimy… gross walls. Maybe it’s best that he doesn’t touch them. Resigned to his premature death at the hands of one who he thought was his best friend and platonic soulmate, Henry does his best to drag his feet.  “What even is the purpose of this visit,” he asks, looking back at Pez and the safety of sunlight on the street behind them.

Magnus fandom, 2016: We're horny for this lady made of worms!

Me: Huh. Unexpected, I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Magnus fandom, 2024: We're horny for this guy made of needles!

Me: Of course you are, my children. Be free.

Magnus fandom 2024: We're horny for this bulbous oozing clown man!

Me: I think 95% of your are being facetious, but the true 5% can go with god.

Magnus fandom, just now: We're horny for a member of the British Aristocracy!

Me: Gross. No. Absolutely not. Sick freaks the lot of you. I am officially kinkshaming. You disgust me.

LIKE LOVING THE STARS THEMSELVES

[rated E, 7,219 words]

When he emerges out the other end of the alleyway and almost runs straight into a solid blue wall that wasn’t there last time he visited this area of town, Henry assumes his wandering thoughts have conjured an illusion. He blinks, and blinks again, but it’s still there: NORA’s unassuming back wall, the broken chameleon circuit now over thirty centuries out of date to blend into her surroundings the way she’s supposed to, her anomalous presence a wrench in Henry’s carefully laid plans. Alex is here.

Or, Alex is a Time Lord, and time is complicated; Henry keeps meeting him out of order, and it's been a while.

Note: you absolutely do not need to be familiar with Doctor Who, or with the episode The Husbands of River Song, to follow this fic! I got multiple non-DW folks to read through it to make sure 😁 If you ARE familiar with Doctor Who, though, there are definitely some easter eggs in here for you!

😵‍💫. scribbles of feral Geralt or maybe just potions gone wrong Geralt, you decide

[ID several messy sketches of feral black-eyed Geralt and an exasperated Jaskier. Geralt bites Jaskier’s cheek in a friendly way, he carries Jaskier over his head as he runs around, he buries his face in Jaskier’s chest hair and purrs as Jaskier says “yeah, yeah everybody loves the chest hair”. In the center Jaskier looks tired and exasperated with Geralt as Geralt sniffs and squeezes him. To the right Geralt licks Jaskier’s cheek and Jaskier says “ewwwwwww Geralt!. Geralt stands protectively in front of Jaskier growling fiercely as Jaskier tiredly says “that’s a leaf Geralt” and lastly Geralt sits right next to Jaskier and stares intensely at him as Jaskier tries to eat his dinner. End ID]

This.

I don’t know about others but the only reason I put both is so that whichever someone clicks on, they will find my fic. So if there is supposed to be rules, I guarantee you that no writer knows these ones. We can barely get people to comment, you think we’re going to specifically choose & or / ? Hell no.

I’ve been in fandom for twenty years, and “/” means romance and “&” means no romance was literally one of the first things I learned. It dates back to Star Trek fanfiction of the 70s. I’m boggled by the fact that anyone who’s been reading fic on AO3 for more than like five minutes wouldn’t know that, and I’m curious as to what fanfic community you come out of.

I don’t think that tagging with both is actually going to get your fic in front of more readers. People looking for romance often exclude the “&” tag if there are too many gen fics tagged with both. People looking for gen often exclude the “/” tag if there are too many fics with both. So rather than putting your fic in front of twice the people, you are in fact more likely to get your target audience ignoring your fic because it has a tag they don’t want.

Also, by overtagging you are more likely to annoy potential readers away from your fic than entice them. A fic tagged both & and / better have both romance and a ton of platonic interaction between the two characters, like a slow burn romance friends-to-lovers arc. If it isn’t, I’m going to be very unhappy because the author lied to me with the tags to try and trick me into reading a fic with deceptive advertising.

When I’m in a fandom and see tagging where some of the tags don’t really apply and are just there to get it in front of more eyes, I’m going to assume one of two things. Either the author is a newb who doesn’t know anything, or the author is purposefully spamming the tags because they don’t care about lying to their potential audience and think that “spray and pray” is an effective tactic. In the first case, their writing probably will not be very good, so why bother reading their fic. In the second case, the fact that I can’t trust the tags to be accurate means I’m not going to read it to see if it’s interesting even if it has a tag I like. Chances are, that tag isn’t actually in the fic anyway, and even if it is, by spam-tagging the author is making the archive harder to use for everybody. Why would I reward bad behavior with attention? No. Far better to mute the author and move on.

More to the point--and no, I will never stop harping on this, because we have GOT to stop leaving our strongest points in the drawer--it doesn't matter if you heard of this convention before joining AO3 or not, because it's in AO3's tagging FAQ.

[id: the "How do I tag a romantic or platonic relationship?" section of the tagging FAQ here.]

"But Jo," you may argue, because you're wrong. "There's no way to find that without digging through site FAQ menus, and that's really inaccessible!"

sure

except

that when you go to post a new fic, and you go to put in those relationship tags, you see this

[id: the Relationships field]

and that tooltip, the one THERE TO EXPLAIN HOW THE FIELD WORKS, links to the Relationships segment of the tag FAQ, which explicitly lays this shit out.

I don't care if you don't know fandom history. I don't care if you've never heard a goddamn word about the spirk shippers. I don't care if you've never been exposed to fandom culture in your life. It is, frankly, not fair to expect those things of everyone.

What is entirely fair to expect is that you will READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED NEXT TO THE FUCKING BOX, actually. Forget fandom conventions. It genuinely doesn't matter whether you agree with or respect fandom conventions. This is a site policy. This is explicitly how tagging on AO3, specifically, works.

The best thing about Strunk/White fanfiction is that it's virtually guaranteed to be well written.
