    Summary

    The Choice given to Witchers isn’t really a choice at all. You give a scared child the option of death by the elements versus death by magic or monsters and it is all darkness in the end.

    Eskel and Geralt bide their time and offer Lambert a different choice.

    Or, the AU where Geralt and Eskel raise Lambert far away from Kaer Morhen

    Summary

    “Can I help?” she asks suddenly, one leg already over the fence.

    “Do you know how?” Eskel raises an eyebrow, knowing full well that she won't.

    “No,” she says, with no hesitance. He loves that about her, that she throws herself headlong into anything, even if she has no clue. And he hates it too, it’s dangerous. It’s so much like Deidre he wants to scream.

     

    Ciri reminds Eskel so much of his own Child of Surprise that it physically hurts. Ciri is not his responsibility, except in all the ways she is. He uses his rusty braiding and parenting skills to help Ciri and Geralt. If it closes some of his old wounds too, well, no one has to know.

    Summary

    Jaskier spends his first Christmas with the wolves.

     

     

    ‘Arms up.’

    Jaskier obediently reaches skyward as Eskel pulls a new woollen sweater over his head. It hugs Jaskier’s growing belly, soft fat where hip bones and ribs used to be. Even when he’s naughty and Geralt spanks him, Jaskier is still allowed to eat.

    Kaer Morhen is much better than Lettenhove, in that regard.

    Summary

    ‘Our little pup went down for the first time today.’ Eskel says fondly, adding a good spoonful of honey to the pot and giving it a stir. Jaskier stops pulling away from Geralt to look at Eskel, confused.

    Down?

    He doesn’t know what that means.

    Geralt’s hand drops from Jaskier’s cheek and he turns to look at Eskel. ‘Oh yeah?’

    ‘Yeah. You should have seen him, Wolf. He was perfect, playing with his toys.’

    Oh, right. That.

     

     

    Jaskier adjusts to his life as a kidnap victim.

    Summary

    After a long year on the Path on his own, Eskel is supposed to return to you for the winter. The thing is he’s late. Or not coming at all. You regret putting your trust in someone despite all the signs telling you not too. The worst part is Amelia is still sitting by the door waiting for the day he comes home.

    Or, “honestly i am here for the father-daughter bonding so maybe something like spending time with the reader and adjusting to the role as a father and just that good domestic fluff :] or maybe something like eskel doing his best to prove that he’s not going to up and leave bc i would imagine the reader would still have some doubts as to whether he really meant what he said or not but honestly these are just my ideas!

    i immediately pictured amelia stealing the reader’s things and then giving them back as a birthday present like something off extreme cheapskates 😭

    i’m sure she could pick pocket from strangers, get caught, and they’d probably give her an extra few just because she’s cute like this girl really has a shot as a criminal and i am here for it ✊😤 do what i cannot because unfortunately i am not 6 and laws on planet earth forbid me from stealing from others and no problem!”

    Summary

    It’d taken a little over a month for Geralt to convince Eskel that he was okay with the idea of his mate courting a second omega—hells, he encouraged it.

    Geralt tugs at the hem of his tunic, considering the jagged scar across his lower belly. He’d been about three months along, give or take. It must’ve happened near the end of winter, because Eskel could usually sniff out the change in his hormones before he noticed anything amiss, and he hadn’t mentioned anything...

    Jaskier told him that he’d been poisoned. In the end, it didn’t really matter what’d happened—if the child, by some miracle, had survived the strike that’d destroyed his armor, had survived the poison the cockatrice injected in his system… it wouldn’t have survived the near-lethal levels of toxicity that’d come from the various potions he’d needed to take to purge his system and heal his gaping wound.

    A couple of weeks later, his heat had been… late. And then he’d missed it altogether. And the one after that. And the one after that, too.

    It didn’t take a genius to put two and two together. Geralt had finally fucked his body over beyond repair.

    What need did his alpha have for a defective omega?

    Summary

    After years together, Eskel finally decides it is time for you and your children to meet his side of the family. You two had only put it off until your youngest was old enough to handle the travel but since arriving at the keep, you didn’t know why you didn’t bring them along sooner. They loved it.

    Or, “Can I please request an Eskel x reader where he brings his lady back to Kaer Mohren with her two kids?”

    Summary

    Eskel wakes up with a raging pain in his side and a curious set of eyes on him.

    Or, “Eskel waking up to find he's in unfamiliar area, doesn't recognize her bc she saved him and taking care of him Bonus if she's a single mother.”

    Summary

    Summary

    “Do we have to do this?” Eskel’s eye twitches. He likes to consider himself to be a fairly patient man, but if Deidre asks him if they have to do this one more fucking time, all bets are off. She’s been a broken fucking record for the last half-hour, and it’s really starting to grate on his already frazzled nerves.

    Jaskier had been dropping hints left, right, and center that it was well past time for Eskel to meet his mother. Eskel agreed—Jaskier had already met his mother and father, both of his younger brothers, and his nieces, and had been welcomed into their little family with open arms and relatively few threats to his life—but that didn’t mean he was in any kind of rush to make it happen. Jaskier was a boisterous ball of rainbows and sunshine, of course Eskel’s family had loved him. Eskel was—his eye twitches again, a little harder this time—Eskel was about to lose his fucking shit. All he’d asked was for Deidre to put on her dress and comb her hair so that she would be ready to leave by noon. It’s twelve-thirty, and she’s still in her pajamas.

    AKA

    The one where Thanksgiving starts as a disaster, and ends with everyone crying for all the right reasons.

    Summary

    They were thirty minutes into dinner and twenty-nine into Ciri's monologue about Mistle when Eskel had an uncomfortable realization. Geralt was going to have to give Ciri "The Talk", ASAP.

    In which Geralt and Eskel mangle "the birds and the bees" talk with their teenage daughter Ciri, then manage a respectful conversation about self-acceptance and sexuality with unexpected grace. And Ciri surprises them both by having quite a lot to say on the matter of healthy relationships...and who they should include in theirs.

    Summary

    It’s almost nine o’clock in the morning by the time Eskel slides into bed behind Jaskier, a heavily inked arm slinking around his midsection as a head of soft, loose honey-brown curls settles itself in-between his shoulder blades. It’s not unusual for him to come in around this time; in fact, he’s actually home a little earlier than usual. Geralt must’ve allowed him to take an early night.

    It is unusual for him to saddle up to Jaskier like this, though. At least, it has been, over the course of the last several weeks.

    Summary

    Witchers are sterile, that's a fact. No female human can bear their child. Well, the keyword here is 'human' and a succubus is very not human. And Eskel now has a sweet 7 years old daughter.
