A Witcher Wheel of the Year will be a series of events all through the year 2021.
There will be prompts based on every festival of the Wheel of the Year, and you are invited to create fics or art of whatever strikes your fancy for those. Prompts will be smutty and non-smutty, you can pick one or several.
NSFW is welcome, as is any trope or theme
No upper or lower word count limit for writers
All canons are welcome - games, TV shows, books
All ships are welcome, as are gen fics
Please be kind to each other - no bashing or kinkshaming ect.
On the date of each festival, there will be an event where you can share your work. Tag with #witcherwheeloftheyear so people can find it!
Prompts will be revealed throughout the year, around three months ahead so you have time to create. If you feel like creating something not based on the prompts, go ahead! We only ask that there is some connection to the festival, however you choose to interpret it.
Hey hey! I absolutely LOVE your writing and I was hoping I could request a prompt. I was wondering if you could write us a little bit about Vesemir taking care of Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel when they get back to Kaer Morhen for winter by making them omelets and any other kind of egg dish that tickles your fancy! Thank you <3
Lol I know this is a little late for the egg discourse, but I have feelings and a lot of bullshit to spew 😂.
-no warnings this is just dumb-
Ves gets home early every year bc he loves to prep for the boys and make sure their beds are stuffed with fresh straw and he has time to beat the cobwebs out of their living spaces and blankets.
In my head Ves has always been the resident spider killer.
He collects a few chickens and two roosters front he nearest town and breeds a whole flock of chickens
There’s always eggs in every meal bc protein but also bc there’s just so many fucking chickens
He refused to kill his children/grandchildren so the Kaer Morons are the ones to slaughter the chickens when they need one for meals. But he’s tries to make sure they hunt more while they can to make the flock last through winter definitely not bc he’s gone soft and cares about these chickens
This means HELLA protein and fat loaded meals early in the season bc they gotta use all the eggs which means, you guessed it, ~fluffy witchers~
When each witcher pup shows up they get sent straight to a bath, then when they come to the kitchen there’s a massive omelette with all sorts of funky spices and goat cheese and even a lil bit of bacon.
When the boys feel homesick or they’re having a particularly shitty day they make themselves an omelette (when they can) bc it’s their coming home meal.
But Ves always makes them better
Geralt has to remind him that Jaskier is indeed human and can’t have some of the wack ass spices the Witchers eat when he brings him the first winter.
Ves just rolls his eyes, but still nearly kills Jask bc he forgot.
“what did you use almonds for? It smells lovely, I’m just curious.”
“Jaskier do not eat that!”
Ves does not need reminding after the look Geralt gives him.
Eskel and Lambert think this is hilarious
Ves buys Jaskier his own little herb seeds and they plant them in a pot in the kitchen
They call this the “human zone”
Jaskier is also very attached to the chickens. This becomes a BIG bonding point for him and Ves
They collect eggs every morning and take care of the birds and talk mad shit about Geralt.
You’d think they’d run out of things to say eventually, but Geralt keeps doing stupid shit, funny or actually annoying, and Jaskier LOVES that Geralt’s father figure agrees with him. Even if it’s only in grunts.
Every year, Ves releases the last chicken out into the wild. He cant bear the thought of his herd being completely eaten, even if he knows a monster or bear will get it quickly. It’s the sentiment, you know?
This being said, I think Ves hates eggs bc they remind him of his boys and his chickens and he misses them over the summer.
Welcome to my brain, this is what the begining of a lot of my fics look like 😂 just absolute rambling nonsense. I’m truly sorry.
This made me remember that Amber moons (cocktails containing whiskey/vodka, hot sauce, and a raw egg with the yolk intact) exist. Because of the sheer amount of eggs you’re telling me they have and have to eat before they rot, im assuming they drink many of these.
god i love dying in the witcher 3. not because i have to do part of what i was doing again but because i love to just. imagine the funeral.
like i always picture them burning geralts body at kaer morhen and giving him a eulogy n shit n i always imagine they’d just lowkey roast geralt the entire time. like.
“here lies geralt of rivia (or geralt eric roger du haute-bellegarde), the butcher of blaviken, the white wolf. who walked the path for 138 slutty, slutty years, during which he was part of many important political plots and wars and fought bravely and valiantly. geralt of rivia, who fucking died because he was fighting three (3) drowners and couldn’t eat his raw onions fast enough. he was not very smart.”
or “here lies geralt of rivia, who died because he jumped off of a 6-foot ledge as a shortcut and didn’t know that that would fucking kill him. we don’t know how he managed to die from that, either.”
or “here lies geralt of rivia, who, after fighting off 15 men and sustaining minimal damage, set a barrel on fire for funsies, didn’t step back far enough, and fucking blew himself up. may he rest in pieces. godspeed you absolute idiot.”
“Here lies Geralt. He took a side path in a cave for funsies and got locked in a room with a gargoyle on accident and died. Angrily. He was really, really angry. His last word was “FUCK”.”
Here’s the full illustration, “Winters Breath”. I got it printed as postcards for patrons and they turned out really nice, even though I always fear my file will be too dark and I will be stuck with awkward postcards nobody wants XD
Geralt and Jaskier enjoying a soak and the view and the crisp moutain air.
When I thought about a hot springs themed piece everywhere I looked and asked people talked about how they are in caves under Kaer Morhen. But honestly, caves are boring to draw so I gave them some outdoors hot springs.
