The Things We Find

Author’s Note: While these stories are included in part of a series I have  ongoing, I wanted to take an opportunity to separate them out and give them an opportunity to stand alone. The slow exploration of intimacy in these stories gave me a lot to think about in the process of writing them, and start to unpack a great deal about what it means to do something for yourself with another person. I ended up exploring the small gestures of intimacy, those things we overlook when sex looms large on the horizon. Finally, I wanted to examine what it means to find first-romance later in life, when the habits and patterns of life are deeply furrowed and certain pieces of ourselves locked away in a forgotten cupboard gathering dust.  Please enjoy my contribution to the Eskel Big Bang with a lovely illustration by @mai-of-rivia to be posted soon <3 All tags are included in the links to each story.

My half of the Eskel bang collaboration with the incomparable @jennyloggins, whose full fic can be read here!

They were a pleasure to work with, and you can never have too many bathing Eskels, especially as a parallel to all the highs and lows the Path has to offer.

My second piece for the Eskel Big Bang 2021! Was super fun working with the writer @chibitabathasloves on their fanfic Eskel Vs. The Continent on AO3.

It was super fun to draw for their HUGE fic, I absolutely love the attention to detail they put in!

There’s an assassin haunting the Continent. No one knows their name, everyone - that is, everyone in the know - calls them The Specter. If you want a rival out of the way, a political opponent disposed of, or a strategic target taken out, contacting The Specter gets the job done.

For a price, of course. There’s an art to subtlety, after all, and it wouldn’t do to risk the attention of law enforcement. So there’s no obvious cause, no knife to the back, and the deaths aren’t usually remarked upon.

The Kaer Morhen Agency, however, has noticed. One of their agents has been hired to protect potential victims, people scared that they’ve been targeted. And they have reason to worry. When Eskel’s first assignment winds up dead of no discernible cause, it starts him on a search for the elusive Specter, hoping against hope to track down the assassin before they’re hired again.

Setting a trap for a ghost is something Witchers are used to. Setting one for a trained killer may prove beyond them.

Here is my fic for the @eskelbigbang​​!! It was in collaboration with the amazing @cylin-aka-ankamo​​ whose art I will link here as well. Please enjoy!

NOW WITH ART!

Eskel Big Bang: Winter Comfort

Art for the lovely Hestia's fic Winter Comfort. Read it!

My fic "Winter Comfort" is up for the Eskel Big Bang (@eskelbigbang)

I know it's not the most light hearted subject (please read the tags and the warning) BUT it's actually a feel good story in the end. It's mean to celebrate Eskel in all his glory.

I'm very happy (and anxious) to publish this. It comes with two wonderful art made especially for the fic by. I'll be very grateful if you give it a try and/or share it.

Please enjoy!

My final piece for @eskelbigbang! It was a joy to work on, and with @adevinecomedy! <3 Enjoy the butt, tumblr; fic link in reblog.

Title: Sugar Baby Blues Author: adevinecomedy Relationship: Eskel/Jaskier Rating: Explicit Summary: Jaskier’s mind slipped back to a night several months ago when he was all worked up but had nowhere to go and a mountain of school work to get through. How it was just so much easier to log onto a camming website and watch someone perform seemingly just for him. The gorgeous, confident man on the other side of the screen had been so accommodating, even though Jaskier had been shy and hadn’t typed much into the chat. Modern au where Eskel is a Cam boy and runs into a bit of a financial bind. Enter Jaskier who just might be the answer to all his woes.
