Hello! I know it's a hair early still maybe, just curious if you guys were gonna run this one again this year? Thanks!
Hi there! I would've loved to run it again this year but sadly real life has gotten in the way and my schedule is hectic. And the friend who helped me out cannot take over either.
But I know there are some other places running a holiday exchange, like The Witcher Bog. I will try to reblog posts about similar events as I see them.
Sorry again :(
Finally finished my gift for @gerclt for the @thewitchersecretsanta exchange!! I hope you like it, sorry im terrible at backgrounds (also yes thats roahcie in the back lol)- this is my attempt at a sunset lmao anyways i hope you like it!! <3 <3 <3
I return after a short break with this – the secret santa gift for @mimeiji for @thewitchersecretsanta featuring Netflix!Yennefer and Triss :D I decided to put them in their warmest outfits from S1 to make it properly wintery!!
Mimi had to wait quite a while, and even though I had signed up for pinch-hitting originally, I withdrew from that when I ended up barely managing my own actual secret santa drawing ;u; but when they still needed people mid January, I was able to participate again :D
Thank you for your patience, Mimi, and I hope you like the drawings!!! Happy 2021 to you 💖
@vampirian ! I am your incredibly late Secret Santa for @thewitchersecretsanta
I am so sorry for the delay, life was a bit of a mess, but we made it! And here is your gift! I do wish I could have gotten more ticked off your list, but I hope this will suffice. I hope you have a lovely day and enjoy! https://archiveofourown.org/works/28852437

A late @thewitchersecretsanta gift for @ivillpunchyouinthethroat
5k, Explicit to be safe
Geralt invites Jaskier back to Kaer Morhen. It’s the longest Jaskier has gone without partnered sex in… possibly ever? This turns out to be a problem.
Featuring: Creature!Jaskier (who doesn’t know he’s not human), pining and angst, liiiiight fuck-or-die, Wintering At Kaer Morhen, and… song fic??? Kinda??? XD
Hope you dig it!!! Sorry for the tardiness! I had a good time with this one, and I owe thanks to @badwolfbadwolf as per usual for Pruning my Punctuation and general cheerleading. <3
Here is my gift for @thisissirius for @thewitchersecretsanta . Dear Siri, I shamelessly used my insider information and wrote you a 9-1-1 AU. I hope it’s worth the wait and everything you didn’t know you wanted.
Thank you to the mods of @thewitchersecretsanta for organizing this exchange!
Title: Come On, Baby, Light My Fire (Geraskier antagonistic firefighters to lovers in five acts AU) Rating: T Length: 16.5k Pairing: Geralt/Jaskier (primary), with more or less fleeting mentions of past Geralt/Yennefer, past Geralt/Renfri, past Jaskier/Lambert, and pastJaskier/Valdo. And Lambert/mystery boyfriend who is not named but Aiden. Warnings: Referenced bi- and homophobia Summary: Jaskier likes meeting new people. He loves meeting new people. He’s a people person! So when it’s dislike at first sight between him and Geralt, the new guy at the firehouse, it’s clearly Geralt’s fault. No, Jaskier will not accept criticism on this. Geralt just wants to settle into his new job but has to endure emotionally mature conversations to do so. It ends up working out great.
It is a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the air mild, the firehouse is – well, okay, not sparkling, it is a firehouse, but it’s moderately clean and their truck is looking impressive, and Jaskier is in a fantastic mood as he putters about the garage and finds odd things to do by the entrance.
Their new candidate will arrive any minute now.
Which means that, as of today, Jaskier, as the previous candidate, has graduated from being the new kid who gets all the shit jobs and has to earn his stripes to being a proper firefighter, a respected and fully integrated member of the team.
Not that being a candidate is that bad. Sure, there has been a lot of, well, teasing, and, when he wasn’t being drilled to the point of collapse, Jaskier spent so much time washing the truck, the dishes, the windows, and anything else his fellow firefighters could get dirty, that the skin on his hands was sometimes wrinkly for days on end. But Jaskier likes to think of it more as tough love than hazing (and there definitely was a whole lot less drinking than at your average fraternity initiation), the friendly and instructive mobbing of a sibling as they grow into the firefighter equivalent of an adult.
It’s the circle of life, and Jaskier is so looking forward to being on the other side of it.
Are we allowed to (or should we) contact our giftee if they haven't responded/we think they haven't seen their gift?
Sure, go ahead!

My @thewitchersecretsanta for @soapyquartz!! I hope you like it! :’) <3
My @thewitchersecretsanta gift for @chubbykatsudon - you asked for Geraskier and something romantic so I did some woodland smooches 🧡 hope you had a wonderful festive season!
(@thewitchersecretsanta gift for @vorador, who asked for the disaster ot3 and mentioned being a sucker for yen and jask being bitchy best friends, though it ended up as more of a ‘bitchy feral frenemies’ situation. happy new year!)
“When I told you two to get along,” Geralt says, not unlike an exhausted parent, “I didn’t mean start fights I’d have to finish.”
“Oh, come on,” Jaskier says, playful. Gone is the man Yennefer would have gone so far as to call savage earlier, replaced by someone else entirely. Sugar where not an hour ago there was spice, fine silk where there was hard steel. It’s fascinating to watch how he can shed one skin and wear another so easily, neither of them false. “Haven’t you heard the joke? A bard and a sorceress walk into a tavern—”
“And the bard immediately gets kicked out of the tavern for his shitty jokes,” Yennefer finishes for him.
Written for @redlightofdawn for @thewitchersecretsanta. Sorry it’s a little late, but I hope you like it anyways!
Fandom: The Witcher Pairing: Geralt/Jaskier Words: 5,937 Rating: Teen Content Notes: Minor witcher racism
Summary: Five times Jaskier learned about one of Geralt’s non-human behaviours, plus one time Geralt was all too human.
aka
The development of Geralt and Jaskier’s relationship over the years, blatantly ignoring most events from canon.
The first time Jaskier came back to camp from a piss to see Geralt sitting by the fire, he nearly shrieked in surprise. Geralt was sitting across the fire from where Jaskier had disappeared to, and when he looked up at the noise Jaskier made approaching his eyes caught the light and reflected it like a cat’s. It made sense, Jaskier supposed, since Geralt’s eyes were overall very catlike, what with the golden yellow color and the slitted pupils.
He calmed himself down and continued his path toward the log he’d been sitting on next to Geralt. Geralt gave him a strange look as he sat down, but Jaskier did his best to pay it no mind. Geralt was constantly giving him looks like he didn’t know what sort of peculiar creature Jaskier was – they’d only been travelling together for a couple of days, but Jaskier was already very familiar with most people’s reactions of fear or disgust when faced with Geralt even at his most non-threatening. Jaskier didn’t hold it against Geralt that he would be suspicious of Jaskier acting so differently than any other human he encountered.
“So, the eyes,” Jaskier said, breaking the silence, “can you see in the dark?”
Geralt gave Jaskier another one of those side-long looks before refocusing on his hands, where he was darning a sock that seemed more patch than original material. “Better than you,” he grunted.
“How much better?” Jaskier pressed, leaning a little closer.
Geralt shrugged and leaned a little farther away from Jaskier. “Been a long time since I was human.”
“Well how much light do you really need to darn that sock?”
Geralt hummed and furrowed his brow. “Could do it on a half moon with a clear night by looking. Do it by feel otherwise.”
Jaskier pulled out his notebook and made sure to scribble down that fascinating little factoid. Probably wouldn’t make it into a song on it’s own, but could be useful for setting the scene at some point.
Geralt watched him distrustfully and scooted a little farther down the log.
The Witcher Secret Santa Team hopes you’ve all had wonderful holidays and we wish you a very happy 2021!
The due date has passed but there are still gifts being posted with a bit of a delay so stay tuned :)
Lately, way too often, a new hedgehog figurine appeared somewhere in Emhyr’s office. In his you-won’t-learn-a-single-personal-detail-of-me-from-here office. He desperately wanted to blame it on Geralt, claim that it has all started with him, and in a sense it did. But.
But Cirilla gave him the first grumpy little hedgehog, and that the most powerful man on the Continent was absolutely powerless to fight. Unfortunately for Emhyr, both the witcher and his daughter quickly caught onto this fact and shamelessly abused the weakness.
Funny thing, that we ultimately ended up as each other’s Secret Santa with @wraithproblem for the @thewitchersecretsanta event ^^ I hope you’ll like this drawing, since you told me to self-indulge, and I had this modern AU idea bouncing around in my head for months and now I have a hundred little headcanons for it too. So, here it is, soft and bright, and I hope you had great holidays and looking forward to a kinder, happy new year!

“What’s wrong?” Geralt rumbles again, does one last check over their campsite in case he’d missed something. Nothing out of place, just the smoking remains of their fire, their bedrolls surrounding it, and Roach grazing peacefully off to the side, shooting the two of them a disdainful look for making such a racket this early in the morning.
“What’s wrong—” Jaskier sputters, calling Geralt’s attention back to himself, “what’s wrong? Geralt, what the hell are these!”
A little late but it’s my Secret Santa gift for @tricksterdraws for @thewitchersecretsanta! Hope it’s wholesome enough to keep you warm this winter, and happy Witchmas!! :3c
