Wouldn’t Ciri and Vernon Roche be an awesome power couple?

I mean. I do love Roach, he's pretty great. Don't know anyone who ships Roach and Vernon? I'm sure there's Simon/Vernon fics out there...

I mean. Unless you just spelled Simon really poorly? I"m not really into dubcon though, so Vernon/Roach or Vernon/Simon would be ... interesting, to say the least. Considering the dynamic. Have you read the comics?

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Eskel & Lambert (The Witcher), Aiden & Gaetan (The Witcher), Eskel/Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia, Aiden/Lambert (The Witcher), Aiden/Coën/Lambert (The Witcher), Gaetan/Letho z Gulety | Letho of Gulet Characters: Eskel (The Witcher), Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia, Lambert (The Witcher), Coën (The Witcher), Aiden (The Witcher), Letho z Gulety | Letho of Gulet, Gaetan (The Witcher) Additional Tags: Fluff, Retirement, Retirement at Corvo Bianco (The Witcher), Corvo Bianco (The Witcher), Vignette, Character Study, Cutagens | Cute Effects of Mutagens (The Witcher) Series: Part 6 of Summer of Eskel Bingo Summary:

Geralt was good at collecting strays. Stray wonder children, stray sorceresses, stray bards, even stray vampires. And now, with his own house and a title to go with it, he was collecting stray Witchers, which seemed… right. Geralt had always wanted to keep his family close, but Destiny and the shit lot of a Witcher’s life kept him from doing that. Now that he had the space for it, Eskel couldn’t blame him for throwing open his doors to every set of yellow eyes he could. But of course—because Geralt would always be Geralt—he started with Eskel.

———————————————

This is a double fill for a double bingo! This is part of my Summer of Eskelpades bingo from 2022 from the @continentcakeshop​ This one is for the “scars and signs” square.

But! It is also for the WIP-mas bingo from the @cake-shop-rarepair-bingo​ ! An event designed to help clean up old bingo cards from past events. Talk about perfect, right? This is for the “rare pair” space, because could you believe I had to type in Eskel & Lambert? I was shocked.

So please enjoy this brotherly Eskel fic. I did tag romantic ships in this one, but the most important relationships that I really wanted to focus on were Eskel & Lambert, and Aiden & Gaetan. Because I love my little murder kittens and will take any excuse I can get to write them.

Was anyone looking for a sequel to King of the Sea, a fic featuring merman Erland and human Coën? No? Well, here is the accidental and unexpected sequel: In Warmer Waters, now featuring Arnghad as well. Completed for the @cake-shop-rarepair-bingo !

“I have a request. If that's agreeable to you.”

Coën smiled, lifting his head from the sand, looking down at Erland as he pillowed his head on Coën's stomach. It was the second summer he'd spent in the merman's company, and by now he knew the return of Erland's overly formal wording meant one thing: he was worried how his human mate would react to something. Coën would like to reassure Erland that there was nothing that could surprise him anymore, but when your lover was a merman—the gods damned King of the Sea—it was best not to assume anything.

Serious golden eyes looked up at him and Coën wanted to kiss him, see those eyes flutter closed in pleasure as they forgot their troubles for the rest of the afternoon. But Erland had something to ask him, and Coën wanted to hear it. He always wanted to hear his lover's words.

“What is this request?” he asked, mostly hiding his smile.

Erland sat up and Coën tried not to whine at the loss, warm hands sliding away from his skin and planting in the sand next to him. He knew why Erland did it: he didn't want to influence Coën's decision with his reverent touches. Erland loved touching his human as much as Coën loved feeling his merman, and they both knew it was a distraction at the best of times. A new seriousness settled over the conversation and Coën sat up, giving Erland his full attention.

--------------------------------

This is a fill for the monsterfucking/bestiality square. Originally I wasn't going to fill that one, despite this idea starting to roll around inside my head, because I don't really see merfolk as monsters... Then I realized I probably shouldn't be turning down a good reason to write a rare pair fic, and here we all are.

Please read the tags on AO3. Thank you to the @continentcakeshop for always supporting me and egging me on (that will be funny once you read the story tags). Thank you to @angry-cajun-lady for whispering more lovely thoughts into my ear for this fic, and thank you so much to @lokibus for the beta. I really appreciate you looking over this quite long fic so quickly, my friend <3

hey, I won't be able to finish the rare-pair bingo in time, would it still be ok for me to tag you if/when I do end up writing fics for the rest of the prompts?

Avatar

Absolutely. We're here to encourage and enable people to write, explore, and enjoy rarepairs - and sometimes life gets busy! I know mine did the last few weeks. Feel free to @ us, for us to cheer you on. Usually after the bingo runs I go back and reblog everyone's work again, just to make sure everyone got seen. Which! Everyone else: Please don't hesitiate to poke me if I missed reblogging! Me and my helpers are very busy, and we do our best, but we absolutely always want to see your works, and share them. Yes, even after the event is over. <3

Rarepair Bingo Masterpost II

@cake-shop-rarepair-bingo​ (Thank yo so much again for running this event, it’s so much fun!!!)

Apocalypse; First kiss: Flood and Fire 

It approaches with a booming roar. The apocalypse. It is almost upon them. Out of nowhere. From one second to the next. A torrential deluge coming right at them. Merciless, with no way of escape. Gods, is this the end?

On their way from Toussaint to Stygga the Hansa get separated from each other in a natural disaster. Milva and Cahir end up stranded together, not knowing what happened to their comrades. Having been best friends for months already, their dire situation now brings them together closer, so much closer.

Regis tries to teach Angoulême how to grow mandrakes. Cahir helps.

Please, just let me go: Was it worth it?

While being on his mission with the Scoia'tael, Cahir is haunted by a horrible nightmare. (Spoilers for The Witcher Season 3 Episodes 3 and 4!)

Spin the bottle / Party games; Ready for our dance; First kiss: A Night to Remember

It’s Litha, the longest day of the year, and Geralt is throwing a garden party at his newly acquired estate, Corvo Bianco, the old vineyard in the Sansretour Valley. Milva cannot dance, but Cahir is a good teacher. The delicious wine and Jaskier’s newest song also help. And then there are Angoulême’s Hansa Games and Regis’s hot hooch …

Drunk Shenanigans: Hangover

After a night of celebrating his unexpected reunion with Fringilla, Cahir wakes up with a bad hangover and with no memory of the events of the night. (Spoilers for The Witcher Season 3 Episodes 3 and 4!)

Abduction / Kidnapping: Cat-Napping

Unexpectedly and totally against his will, Rience ends up with a fluffy tabby cat napping in his lap.

Is this romantic enough for you?: Romantic enough?!

During their prolonged stay in Toussaint, Geralt and Fringilla have a hot afternoon in an extraordinary location.

Maid to Please, my newest fill for the @cake-shop-rarepair-bingo!

The idea started forming when Gaetan found a historical picture that looked exactly like Letho. He was scrolling absently, not really paying attention to what was actually on the screen, when suddenly: there he was, Letho looking up at him from a sepia tone photo. Only it wasn't Letho, it was one of those robber barons from the late 1890's/early 1900's. Not as clean cut as you'd expect of a rich man, but there was a definite charisma there that reminded Gaetan of his partner. The man in the photo had an intense gaze and a prominent scar on his bald head, and he looked like the type to ride his lovers hard and put them away wet.

Gaetan showed him the photo on his phone after a month of dithering, and the bottom almost dropped out of his stomach when the usually quiet man got even quieter. And then, the smallest smile tugged at Letho's cheek, his eyes fucking sparkling with a new idea.

And then, there was the maid outfit. The one Letho bought for Gaetan as a joke (they were drunk), but it turned out they both really, really liked that as well. One thing quickly led to another, whispered conversations at night, they started sharing fantasies they'd never told each other despite all the years they'd been together... which was how Gaetan found himself in their sitting room, serving tea and cakes to Letho, Geralt, and Eskel, dressed as a maid.

-------------------------------------

As you can see, this hits several spots on the challenge card (all the limbs, a pairing of 4 or more; pairing that has under 10 works; and it hits 'type in a new pairing,' but I already used that one), and for my personal card, this fills my 'free use' space.

Thank you to @trickstermoose67 for the quick beta, and @skaldingrayne for the title suggestion. Please read the tags on AO3! And please enjoy <3
