I have only now found out that they made Jaskier bi in the latest season of TWN and paired him off with RADOViD?!?? I know they aged him up but holy shit I can't believe this show everything I learn about it is against my will
The show is basically really shitty fanfiction at this point, and imo it’s always been a sexed-up cash grab that was not at all intended to cater to or satisfy long term book/games fans. It’s bullshit and I hate it lmao
At this point I’m just trying to stay grateful that it has inspired some people to read the books/play the games and they’ve realized how much better those are, and I feel like that’s a win enough for me😂
Also dandelion has ALWAYS been bi to me? He’s got wild bisexual energy imo, and I personally think they tried to pair him w Radovid in the show in an attempt to get the J*skier fangirlies’ attention—they must’ve seen how people were drooling over the grumpy hunk/twinky bard ship and wanted to capitalize on it🙄

Three sentence fic:
Eskel and Jaskier
Florist/Bakery AU
💐❤️🥐
“I took this job because it meant getting up early,” admits Eskel. “Before I was a baker, all I did was party— I’d usually still be out by the time I get up to make dough now. I needed a hard reset.”
Before Jaskier can commend him for his recovery or even inquire further, the baker leans onto the counter, towards him. From this close, Jaskier can see all the colours shot through his kind amber eyes, and smell the dough he’s been toiling over for the last few hours. Everything about the man is warm. Jaskier can’t help but lean in too, forgetting the bouquet in his hands, until—
“But you don’t strike me as a morning person,” the baker accuses, his smile twitching up in both corners. “So unless you really do have to hand-deliver fresh flowers every single morning to someone else down this road… is there a chance you’re just here to see me?”

Warnings: gn!reader (no pronouns), hurt/comfort, blood (barely), unbeta’d.
___________________________________________________
The sky was grey and hanging over the world like a heavy blanket, brooding and growing darker as it threatened to shower your small town in a chilling rain. You had just finished harvesting some of your garden’s yield and leading Lil Bleater inside the cottage when you had to stop and look out. You lingered in the doorway, glancing down the path in an expectant manner, though nothing came.
It had been over three weeks since Eskel had left your little sanctuary here on the edge of town. Rumors had come in that the nearby town of Onryx had been terrorized by a strangely large nest of nekkers and needed immediate help. You hated to see him throw himself into such a blatantly dangerous contract, but you knew that this was just part of his job. Part of his existence as a Witcher.
Lately, your mind hadn’t been able to stop whirling with all the possibilities, coming up with dozens of reasons for your witcher's delay.
Maybe they haven't had good weather the last few days and he hasn’t been able to travel back yet? Maybe he got caught up with another contract or two along the way?
But no matter how you tried to think positive thoughts doubt had always crept back into your mind. 
Was he too hurt to travel? Would anyone help him if he was?.... Or was he already gone..?
You were snapped out of your thoughts by Lil Bleater sharply tugging at the hem of your clothes, trying to bring you inside before the rain started to fall. You let a sigh fall past your lips but smiled softly as you turned away from the empty path and back to the little hoofed lady at your feet. “I know, I know… I’ll have dinner going soon and you can have as many vegetable scraps as you want.” 
Closing the door behind you, you went to light the hearth and candles around the house, giving yourself a well-lit workspace despite the darkening atmosphere outside. Lil Bleater bounced around at your feet excitedly as you began dinner, eating up every little bit and peel of vegetable that you gave her. 
Once your dinner was cooking and Lil Bleater had staked her claim on a warm blanket beside the hearth it had started to rain, gentle at first, then all at once. 
Quietly you sipped your tea beside the fire and mended the holes in your clothes, when you were interrupted by the sound of a horse coming up to the house, followed by heavy footsteps. 
At first, you were filled with hope that your witcher had finally returned and nearly leapt out of your seat as you got up. But when a knock came, one that sounded almost familiar, but not quite, you began so slow and grow cautious. Grabbing the heavy cast iron pan from the counter you slowly creaked the door open. Peeking through the gap, you gasped at the sight before you. The clang of the cast iron pan barely registered as it fell from your fingers, the only thing you took in was the sight of Eskel standing at your door. He looked soaked and tired and bloody as he stood in front of you and you’ve never been so happy to see him. 
“Eskel..!” you all but yelled in surprise and nearly leapt into his arms as you hugged him, causing him to wince and groan under the pressure of your excited embrace. “Oh, sorry… I’m sorry… come in, let me get you fixed up.” you grabbed his hand and quickly pulled him inside towards the fire. 
“Sorry, I’ve been so long… I Just-” he started in a low hoarse voice but was quickly cut off by the short kiss you pressed to his lips as you forced him to sit. 
“You’re too polite, my love…”  you said and started trying to get his gear off, pulling the swords away and trying to unlace his tunic. However, Eskel had been longing to be back for so long that he could not be sated by just one quick kiss. 
He pulled you close once more and kissed you tenderly. It was a slow and exhausted kiss, but you can also feel how full of love it was, how hard those 3 weeks were for your beloved witcher. 
“My love…” you said, pulling back just enough to get your words out. “I need to take care of you, you're still bleeding…”. You attempted to get back to your task of unlacing his tunic, but he now trailed his kisses down your arm and to your wrist. His gentle but firm grip pulled your hands away from his laces and held them close to his face, breathing in your scent deeply.
“Eskel-”
“I just want to hold you…” he interrupted; something he never did with you, but that only showed how important this was for him to get out. Your hands stilled as he spoke and after a beat of silence, you nodded your head for him to continue. 
“The thought of being near you again…It’s all that's gotten me through these three weeks and I just- I just need to hold you…”, he finished and looked up at you, eyes locking with yours. 
His eyes were…. Well, it was a look you hadn’t ever seen on him before—the look of barely pushing on even though you know you're safe, you're done. You took a second to look over the rest of him now, to really take all of him in. His shoulders were slumped as though the weight of this whole situation was pressing down on him like Atlas carrying the burden of the world. His wounds were still bleeding, and probably had been for the past few days, but it wasn't enough that he would die if left untreated for another hour.
“Okay…” you nodded “Okay. I’m sorry, my love…” You spoke softly and moved to stand between his legs as he scooted towards the edge of his chair. ”I am excited to see you, I’ve just been so worried lately”.
Eskel’s arms wrapped around your hips with a deep, almost relieved breath, and rested his cheek against your abdomen. Your hand came down and brushed the wet hair away from his eyes, your comforting and warm touch brushing it all away as your fingers grazed his skin. 
“My beloved witcher…. I’ve missed you so much.” The fingers of your other hand wove themselves between the delicate hair at the nape of his neck. A pleased grunt tumbled out of him as your nails scratched gently at his scalp, just as you would do whenever he had trouble sleeping. 
“I’ve got you now big guy…” you whispered as thunder rumbled on around you. Wet hair tickled your face as you leaned down to press a kiss to the top of his head.
His gaze slowly moved upwards as you pulled back, searching along your face and finally settling on your eyes. His gaze already seemed less jaded and instead danced with the familiar unbothered love and devotion you had seen from him so many times before. 
You held his face in your palm, warm dry skin against his damp cool cheek as you leaned down further to brush your lips together. Noses bumping carelessly against each other as your kiss deepened into something you hadn’t yet realized that you needed as much as you did. It was as though every worry, every doubt, every late-night without sleep had just seeped out of your body and been washed away by the heavy rain just past the windows. 
You both pulled back as another bout of thunder rolled by, foreheads resting against one another. “I love you…” you both said in unison, causing a ripple of laughter to vibrate out from both of you. “I love you too..” you both replied and fell into laughter again. 
This time you spoke before you two could copy each other again, “Let’s get you fixed up now, okay? Then we can hold each other all night...” 
Quietly he nodded, the happiness of your shared laughter still painted on his face in the form of an easy smile. “Yes, Dear…”.

What do you think of cerys and eskel? No one seem to talk about them 😁
Tumblr media
(Eskel pic by @alphagravy with my edits, Cerys pic from my PS4 gameplay)
Cerys/Eskel (Ceskel? Eskys?)
Try as I might, I never heard of this pairing either. Would I ship it?
HECK YEAH!!!!
Both platonic ship and romantic ship.
What I love about Skellige (aside from its raw beauty and despite their wariness of foreigners) is that Skelligers are warm to witchers. Some jarls would even hold feasts and have their skalds sing ballads in their honor. Eskel would feel right at home.
With Cerys as Queen of the Isles, I'd imagine a scenario where Eskel would find work in Skellige, his ties to the White Wolf would be a bonus and would be welcomed with open arms in Kaer Trolde. His scars will be an object of awe and fascination: it is practically his resume and badge of valor/honor/and strength. Women would be all over him, Cerys will hire him as resident witcher to clear the Isle of drowners (lots of them in Skellige) for a good pay and a hearty banquet. She may even ask (or command) him to regale her of each and every story behind his scars and in exchange, would tell him how she earned hers.
In a more sexual nature, if Cerys, who missed the opportunity to sleep with Geralt, his older wolf brother is a good alternative. Eskel finally breaks his rule to not fraternize with the monarchy.
Ohhh the possibilities and scenarios are endless and I look forward to any fic writers to pick up on this pairing! (@traumschwinge would you be interested????)
No unpopular opinion as of yet.

We need to talk about the parameters of Eskel's bravery. He'll be brave when the options are life or death. A witcher is brought up to die (I am so going to use this line in a fic now that I've thought of it...). So of course he didn't bat an eyelash at Caranthir, he was either going to do his job and vanquish evil or die trying. What he was never taught was to deal with emotions. Picking sides, dealing with complex issues. He runs and hides. It's easier to not deal with the emotions, of feeling like he's let Vesemir or Lambert down by not siding with them. To him, the world is black and white. And when it's grey, or two whites or blacks in his life clash? He cannot cope.
Agreed, Non. And that's an amazing line! If it appears in the Eskel tag then I'll be sure to give you a thumbs up in the comments.
Emotional maturity is a really complex... thing, and I like how you've drawn a line between "managing" and "dealing", whether intentional or not. (I think you're already barking up this tree anyways, so feel free to take it with a sage nod.)
He's the heir to KM according to the games, navigating local politics and the social contexts of other people, recognising and managing his emotions effectively, is a necessary part of both being a witcher and a future leader. It's part of his job/training. He has the tools and cracks on with confidence and certainty.
I like to write Eskel as having full awareness of his emotions (and never having bought into witchers don't have emotions, but viewing it as a necessary rumour in some respects; he's pragmatic like that).
But, like you said, he's the embodiment of the "just put this fire over here with the rest of the fire" meme; he doesn't ever deal with anything, and when it looks like he is going to have to deal with it, he flees/avoids/claims neutrality. What if he makes the wrong choice? What if he lets down the people he loves?
I also like to headcanon that the reason Eskel paws at his scars when he's unsure is because they're a reminder of what his indecision and paralysis cost him. Not just his facial scars but also (if you go bad, bad ending) having to hunt down and kill Deidre to stop her rampage.
When he has the tools, Eskel is an unstoppable force. Without them, he's a scared little boy curled up in his bunk, hoping his best friend comes out of that laboratory alive. The holes left in his emotional development by what he endured at KM are vast.

When Jaskier’s leg finally heals, what’s his mobility like? Do his Daddy and Papa ever let him crawl around? Does he sometimes get to toddle around like he did in the garden when helping Vesemir? Or is he kept as a wiggly baby that Daddy and Papa keep in one place?
Jaskier's leg still hurts a little sometimes, but he manages.
After finding Jaskier toddling around the hall after Lambert, the scent of mild discomfort wafting off him, Geralt and Eskel built him a baby pen. It can be moved from room to room, so the wolves can keep an eye on their pup.
Jaskier does not like the baby cage.

I have made mistakes (for the title ask thing)
This could go super angsty.
But personally I just imagine one of the blorbos winding up in the stupidest situation imaginable and needing help getting out of it.

can u write an eskel x short!reader? (established romantic relationship). so eskel always teases the reader for being short, but then he is cursed and shrinks to the height of like two inches or smthn? i thought it would be funny lol and the reader would look after him, but also tease him lmao. could it be a long one shot? if not, it's totally fine! :) i rlly like ur writing!
It has been put on the list but I haven't actually fulfilled any requests as of late. I'm so sorry, but I'm currently in a writing slump. I don't have any good ideas or motivation to write. It might be a while before I get to your requests. If you don't want to wait that long, I recommend requesting fics from @writingmysanity @ceteiq @queenxxxsupreme They are some of my favorite writers in the fandom.

Which season of the Witcher do you like more? Season 1 or season 2? Personally I liked season 1 more. Mostly because I feel that the whole atmosphere of season 2 was very "rushed". Know what I’m saying? When I say rushed I mean the production. Like they were in a hurry to film and wrap up season 2 as quickly as possible. And don't get me wrong, I totally understand and sympathize why the production were probably stressed. Since the pandemic, production delays, Henry's injury etc etc caused setbacks.
Difficult question to be honest, because like you said, Season 2 feels a bit rushed, which is unterstandable due to the circumstances, but I also loved getting to know all the other characters and see the relationships unfold (and I'm still saying bring back Eskel and let's just say it was a Doppler and he'll burst through the door in S1 like this because I can't get that out of my head and we already agree that Eskel is not really dead) The problem is as well to cut it down to 8 episodes in my opinion. Just give us like 2-4 more episodes to give some more depths to the characters, show a little bit more of their interaction and whatnot, but I guess that's a whole nother story. As for Season one, that gave us the introduction to everything, to Jaskier, Ciri's backstory, which was a great start. Especially for me, who'd gotten in contact with the Witcher YEARS ago, when I watched my brother play the game, and that was about it until then. LOVE the interaction between Geralt and Jaskier, BUT I was so confused when I first watched it due to the different timelines. I talked to my brother about this when it came out (and also on Christmas last year about S2) and he said the same. It was a bit difficult to follow at first, but when I watched it the second time around, I didn't have that problem anymore.
In the end, I guess I'll have to say that I like S2 a bit better, because it adds more depths? We wouldn't get that without S1 of course, which set the base for everything, but yeah... I hope I make sense somehow

It's not a big thing but my favorite song is Skin from Sixx:A.M. These lyrics remind me our beloved Eskel 🥺♥️
There's no need to be ashamed
'Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
Livin' in your heart
They don't see the angel
Oh that song is absolutely PERFECT for our beloved Witcher ♥️
I’m definitely keeping that in mind for future Eskel Drabbles 😉
