    Summary

    After the Battle of Sodden Hill, Yennefer finds herself caught in the maze of political intrigue that witchers are not meant to navigate. Tissaia is drawn from her duties as well, forced from her bubble of safety, into a world where elves, witchers, mages and men are about to go to war.

    (Following the fic Still Waters, this sequel takes place in the canonical order of events of seasons 2 and 3)

    Summary

    This fic has a soundtrack! Braz composed it, and it's all here: Blood of the Witch soundtrack

    Please don't actually watch Witchville!! It's a horrible movie with a plot that makes no sense, wooden acting and terrible special effects.

    In short: Greypaws and I watched this movie because the actress who plays Jozefa has become famous in The Witcher. We were horrified by its quality, but couldn't resist trying to write a fix-it. We made it gay and tried to improve the horrible plot a little.

    In this fic, there is no weird heterosexual relationship that pops up out of the blue, there are lesbians instead, the cool archer lady lives, there is hurt/comfort and a healthy relationship for poor Jozefa (who desperately needs a hug)

    Summary

    Raine Thornell does not die. In those seconds beforehand, Susan Hart makes an instinctual decision that changes everything. Raine's dreams of a life out of London had seemed so unreal, but now Susan finds herself grasping for the chance she is offered, and for everything Raine has to give.

    A story about misunderstandings, hurt and damaged people trying to love each other, a journey and love in Victorian times.

     

    Greypaws and brazenedMinstrel are back! This time we're diving deep into Ripper Street and one very specific episode with one very specific pairing. Do you need to have watched RS to read this? Maybe, but send us a message on tumblr and we'll give you a summary so you can just enjoy the femslash here.

    This fic is largely pre-written. It will be updated biweekly, mostly on Sundays.

    Summary

    Yennefer is a witcher of the school of the wolf, Tissaia is the resident sorceress of Rinde. Coral is a witcher of the school of the bear. Philippa lives in the court of the Redanian king, relatively close to Tissaia. She visits sometimes, to be a pest, if she isn’t making frequent trips to Skellige because of a certain witcher. Coral also comes to Rinde frequently for this reason. In this story, the witcher schools never shutdown down, and various characters are witchers instead of their canon roles. The events of the netflix show will still happen in one way or another.

    Summary

    “It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.” -Julius Caesar

    The Forsaken have turned on Sylvanas. When Jaina and the rest of the Alliance leaders arrive in Orgrimmar, it seems as if weeks of debates and councils will be in store for the Lord Admiral. Instead of waiting, Jaina decides to find out what is going on by herself, and she finds Sylvanas dying on the Warchief’s throne.

    A story about honour, healing, and the complications of being undead.

    Summary

    This is my half of an art trade with Corgi_bliss. I was asked to write a copious amount of elf ear stuff so here we are.

    Jaina tries to touch Sylvanas' ears and eventually she succeeds, in a few short scenes and a few longer ones.

    Oh and she shoots Nathanos in the ass with an arrow.

    Summary

    ‘She insulted the Lord Admiral’s daughter and you cannot do that! Take your words back.’

    The ranger lifted her chin in defiance. ‘I shall not.’

    ‘Then I challenge you to a duel.’

    The words tumbled out of Sylvanas’ mouth before she was aware of them. Only after she became conscious of what she had said, she heard the shocked gasps of her fellow trainees. Yet she righted herself up, as tall and proud as she could be. She looked past her mother’s stern gaze, into Jaina’s eyes. They were filled with fright, and Sylvanas instantly felt a stab of sadness deep in her chest.

    But she did not waver.

    ‘Tomorrow, when the Sun alights Belore’s crown,’ she spat.

    (An AU where Sylvanas is a young, overeager ranger in training and Jaina is on a diplomatic mission in Silvermoon with her family)

    Summary

    Withering had many horrible aspects. The cold was one of the worst. A body that could barely keep itself warm, and the freezing nights in the underground sanctuary came unrelentingly. Once every two days or so, Valtrois didn’t dare to keep count, when she was scraping the very bottom of her mana reserves, everything intensified tenfold, driving her to the very edge of unconsciousness until the outlander brought a precious few mana crystals to Shal’aran.

    (Thalyssra and valtrois keeping each other warm on one of the first nights in shal’aran.)

    Mixed with my headcanons about withering, and just the need to vent a bit and write some angst and pain. I also needed practice with writing nightborne since I’m planning to write a long fic about them some day.

    Summary

    ‘When I fall in battle, it’s your duty to protect me.’

    Maiev mentally cursed that protocol. Yet Shandris was right. One of the rules for the two night elven military leaders, the Captain of the Wardens and the Sentinel-General. If one was downed, the other had to try to ensure their survival. She narrowed her eyes. ‘Bold of you to assume I’ll do that.’

    The shocked look on Shandris’ face, and those of many elves around her, was worth the small twinge of guilt she felt.

     

    Or: Maiev tries so hard not to care, but fails.

    Summary

    Part 7 of Within my Grasp. Please read the previous parts to completely follow the story!

    Two nights and a day, Sylvanas Windrunner threaded the razor-thin line between unconsciousness and death. Save for the marginal rise and fall of her chest, she showed no signs of life.

    There's one more chapter after this. And it all started with cooking...

    This is what Alexstrasza plays.

    The artist of the drawing in this chapter is @dreamsofjoyfulbunnies on tumblr and Corgi_bliss here on ao3!

    So... the finale, here we go...

    Advantage of being a composer and a write in one :) pls listen to it, it's good

    The Draconic sentences are cobbled together, illogical and awful. Such is Blizzard and its lazy language writing. (Rikk ante il gular, am dakana = your fate has been spoken)

    It all started with cooking...

    Part 5 of Within my Grasp! Please read the previous part to completely follow the story!

    Baby Windrunners are so cute! This part has the worst feels whiplash of the entire series though…

    Btw, the dessert they’re eating is a mix of a traditional Dutch old years’ eve food called “oliebollen”, and mochi. I’m sure there are deep-fried doughballs with fillings in other cultures as well but these came to mind while thinking about a suitable food for this part.

    Kudos and comments are most welcome!
