Summary: 2018. Andy and the boys take on a job that leads to big changes for their little family, aka Andy is angry, Booker is sad, Nicky and Joe always have each other.

Excerpt: 

Fucking noble causes. 

Noble causes lost meaning centuries ago. Yet here she is, standing in the fucking desert about to do something fucking noble. 

Andy hates this. Yet she can’t stop. She hates that too. Andy shoves her hands into her pockets and slouches even further. She shifts a little, just enough to feel the weight of her labrys on her back. A small strand of tension she didn’t even know she was carrying unravels at the familiar feel of it. She takes in a deep breath and is met by the smell of heat and sand. 

Fucking sand. 

The gritty feel of it in her mouth is so familiar she almost can’t feel it anymore. Andy swipes her tongue around her mouth, spits onto the ground. The sand is still there. It always is. Sometimes Andy thinks she might find centuries old sand tucked into the cracks and creases of her thousands of years old body. A lot of bad people do bad things in places with a lot of sand. At least that’s been her experience. Andy fucking hates sand. 

She spits again.

A/N: I kind of love this amazing GWG female lead queer canon black director super hero movie that can spawn fanfic from ANY time period.

I have THOUGHTS.

Was reading a Reddit where people were OFFENDED that The Witcher is clearly queer coding Jaskier and apoplectic does not cover my response.

1. Do you know how many fucking straight relationships queers deal with. We watch them, support them, cheer for them, ship them. We do not demand or take offense that they do not reflect our experience. Because no one cares to actually stop the rampant heteronormativity in entertainment and no one gives a fuck about our experience.

2. For better or for worse, coding is often all we get. Straight folk get to see their relationships ALL. THE. TIME. On pretty much every show. Queers get to read between the lines with a legit queer character now and then. So you want to take that from us too with your heterosexual outrage. This isn’t about your devotion to the core material or to the purity of the characters. It’s because it grosses you out to imagine that a character would form an emotional and physical attraction to a member of the same sex. This is nothing but bias and straight up homophobia.

3. Speaking of source material, the books were written in the 90s, at the height of the cultural wars around queerness. I have not read them but have seen people assert that they misogynistic. If they are not homophobic, they would certainly not present a progressive view of queerness. Do we really want to hold up problematic source material?

4. Fuck straight folk who find it offensive that Joey Batey is playing Jaskier as bisexual.

5. God bless him and the show runners.

And do NOT get me started on how many queer people/characters have been straight-washed by the entertainment industry. But really, take offense that you don’t get to see heterosexuality 100% of the time. Fuck you.

andyet-here-we-are:

Geralt: I’ve got an awful problem on my hands.

Yennefer: You should have thought of that before you started dating him.

I ❤️ Yenn

ao3feed-thorki:

In anticipation of the new Netflix series, I’ve set up 2 new Tumblr pages for AO3Feeds for Geralt/Yennefer and Geralt/Ciri. I know next to nothing about The Witcher, but with Henry Cavill looking like THAT in those trailers for Netflix, I’m anticipating a certain level of new fandom OTP shipping to sprout come next week. The tumblrs are pretty empty right now but, give it time…

ao3feed-WitcherY&G and ao3feed-WitcherG&C 

I would’ve come up with shorter more streamlined names if I knew more about these couples. Sigh. 

Can we get Geralt-Jaskier? Pls!

Summary:

Geralt is a grumpy, reluctant RA. Jaskier can’t work the microwave, is a walking fire hazard and is crushing hard. Yennefer is the only voice of reason when it comes to these idiots.

Excerpt:

“Hold still!” 

“Jaskier!” Geralt tries to move away from the drunk music major for what must be the tenth time within the short distance between the open door of the frat house and the curb where he parked his car. Jaskier doesn’t get the message Geralt is sending and snugs up even closer, wrapping his arm around Geralt’s waist yet again. 

“Ferrr god sake, hold stiiiilllllll….” Jaskier slurs. Geralt doesn’t push him away and instead concentrates on covering the last five feet left before he can dump Jaskier into the passenger seat of his black 1973 Dodge Charger. Geralt loves that car and if Jaskier even dares vomit all over Roach’s worn leather seats a second time,  there will be hell to pay. 

“Have you heard of Uber?” Geralt growls as he struggles with an armful of an even more giggly than usual Jaskier. He thinks he should grab Jaskier’s phone after he tucks him into his dorm bed download the god damn app for him, except he doesn’t know his code. It’s probably something like “happy unicorns” spelled out in numbers. The thought makes Geralt even more irritated. 

“Nnnnnnngh…” Jaskier nuzzles even closer, then fucking INHALES. Geralt bristles.

A/N: So seriously, this fandom needs better tags on AO3. Anyway, this was REALLY FUN. Not beta’d. Please forgive me.

well then

xueyangapologist:

yennefer’s “i want my womb back” storyline doesn’t bother me as much as i thought it would and i’m writing a bullet point list to try work out why

• she never expresses the belief that she’s broken or damaged or unwomanly because of her sterility, and neither does anyone else
• rather than being like “oh you poor thing, of course you want to be a mother” everyone who knows about this says “are you fucking crazy?!”
• her desire to be a mother is an expression of the two constants to her character - her huge ego and her deep insecurity. she tells geralt she wants a baby because she “wants to be somebody’s whole world” - yennefer believes she deserves to be loved to the point of worship, and yet doesn’t believe anyone could truly love her except a child of her own body.
• she’s looking past the realities of having a child, something other characters remind her of, to the romantic ideal of holding a baby in her arms - again an expression of her ego, and her persistent naivety. a mother isn’t a baby’s whole world for very long.
• when geralt asks her what she wants from a djinn, she replies “i want everything”. she wants to be a powerful sorceress and have her fertility. she wants to have her cake and eat it too.
• i don’t believe her true desire is to have a child, i think it’s how her regret has manifested. she traded in her fertility for beauty and power, thinking it was well worth the trade, and now that she’s decided otherwise she’s fixated on undoing that choice.
• honestly i’m not sure if she got her womb back she’d even have a baby. it is, like she said, about having the choice.
• she’d likely be a terrible mother and the show isn’t shy about telling us that.

Also, the idea that women long for motherhood and need it to complete them is a pretty modern concept. Think about a medieval based world. Women want children to give them power through secession. That only works for the landed and gentry. If you are neither, motherhood is at least a duty, at most a burden. You have no reliable birth control. You’re essentially property. Pregnancy is dangerous. The children you birth die at a high rate. Motherhood isn’t something to aim for, it’s unavoidable. So the idea that Yennefer wants her fertility back as a way to complete herself or that she sees herself as hollow without it doesn’t work in the world of The Witcher. What does work is she is woman in a patriarchal and hierarchical society and she wants all power denied to women by men, including being able to have her say over her body. She wants to bow to no one and she wants to undo any moment in her past where she did.

It’s no coincidence that the one thing she wants back is something taken by a man.

Jaskier: What would you do if I was kidnapped?

Geralt: Nothing. I’d just wait for thirty minutes until they let you go voluntarily.
