little Ciri in modern AU melts my heart
Okay soā
Itās 3 am and Iām watching YouTube randomly and come across a video showing the characters of Steven Universe the first time theyāve showed up and then the last time theyāve showed up, so I gave it a watch. Iām just gonna say this now and let everyone know Iām not, a big part of the fandom or the show really, I think itās an amazing show and Iāll watch some episodes but I canāt sit down and watch it beginning to end, its just not my person.
Anyways, me being me, while watching this video I start to come up with ideas. When I was friends with people who were in love with the show at the time, theyād get me to make some gemsoniaās for theirs and they hang out and party yāknow? Like ocās do and I come up with an idea, which could possibly already be out there, of maybe..... I dunno....
The Witcher characters as gems?
Hear me out hear me out, okay? For the people who know of the Witcher book series and game series, Iām sorry, Iām not that well informed about either though I wish to be, this will mostly tag along to the Netflix show of the Witcher. Just letting everyone know, just in case
Letās start with little Ciri, our Lion cub, child surprise to multiple fans. I havenāt really thought too much about her situation, because itās 3 am and I donāt want to make an exact copy of Steven Universe because everything should be original! But for her, I do know I think of her as the human, the small kid whoās pushed into situations like Steven, not sure if she should be half gem or just, human, but if she was half gem it would explain her powersā my point is, is that she is the tiny one the world, or her gems, revolve around.
Next, letās go to the fool who called the law of surprise. Geralt himself. Iām stuck between thinking of him being a moonstone or an opal. One, I think moonstone just sounds really cool, and two because I know opals have that rainbow effect and I would love to have Geralt feel f e e l i n g s and he blushes and that exact same rainbow effect happens to his cheeks, I think that would just be adoring, wouldnāt you? He is a fighter, a protector, he cares deeply for Ciri and will do anything for her, her own little (big really) opal/moonstone. I would think his stone is on his hand, making his weapon(s) appear and able to use quicker.
Now, you maybe thinking well who else you got, and Iām gonna say it fellas, yes our beloved bard is in this too. I want Jaskier to pop out, like he always has, so Iāve thought of Lapis Lazuli. Reason? Well I got a few *shuffles cards* lapis is a beautiful and rich royal blue, eye catching, and in some lighting can be seen as purple, I know some lapis stones can have bits that make it looks like gold is laced into the stone, so itās even more of a reason why, also Lapis Lazuli? Come on man, even the name is fancy. His stone would be easy, I know people may want it on his throat because uhhh duh, he sings, but I think it would be on his chest. Jaskierās character has a big heart for everyone he meets, our dear heart Joey himself has told us that. If you want reference on how he acts, Steven universeās Sardonyx personality is what Iād point my finger to. Heās a bard, he lives to preform. His weapon? No idea but donāt get on his bad side man.
Finally, and certainly not the last, Yennefer. Immediately I thought of Amethyst, a purple and beautiful gemstone. Amethyst is used for a lot of purposes, to looking pretty on a shelf to holding purpose in witchcraft, Iām not well educated in such thing, so Iām not going to say much other than I know itās used in it. Iād say her gem is on her stomach, reasons being is that i just feel like it would be placed there and for the episode she traded the ability to give birth for beauty. Her weapon? I am not sure of that either, but like amethyst in Steven Universe, her mood varies.
For now, thatās all I have. I am tired, so thatās all Iām going to make for this. If anyone else wants to add or replace something, by all means I am open to anything, anything at all. I know I would like to add Esekl and Lambert somehow and what Iām thinking is maybe those two fuse to make Geralt, like Garnet with Ruby and Sapphire, and frankly, I think it would be hilarious. But for now, itās time for bed.
I love this because we all know Geralt is smart enough to know humans eventually pass away, but with Jaskier telling him he simply decided not to, I think he would question a lot of things, including Ciri, knowing sheās human and such
Geralt: now I know youāre growing up, but when youāre ready, just say it
Ciri: ?? Say what??
Geralt: that youāve decided, that youāve decided not to die
Ciri: ??? Jaskier what does he mean
Jaskier: heās right, would be devastating to see you go little monster, just decide to not age, and itāll all check out for you
Ciri: *puzzles as ever and goes to yen for help*
Yennefer: please realize that these two grown men are fucking idiots darling
my favorite explanation as for why jaskier doesnt seem to age/is immortal (???) is that hes just chosen not to do that. like when geralt finally stops being such a himbo and realizes something's Not Right here it'll go like this:
geralt: wait it's been 20 years why do you look the same?? how are you not aging??
jaskier: oh lol i just decided not to haha, like i thought about the whole ""aging"" thing and decided it wasnt for me haha!
geralt: that's--? what do you mean you just Decided Not To???
jaskier: i have just decided to simply not age. im not gonna do it.
geralt: ?Āæ????!Āæ??!??
AU in which Geralt is a hardcore conspiracy theorist who lives in a tin-foil lined RV. Jaskieresk is a final year university student studying fine arts who gets his weed from Geralt. They often smoke together and 'what if' at each other until they're either crying with laughter, or adding another layer of foil to the van, petrified.
Yenna is a park ranger for the land upon which Geralt has parked his vehicle. She looks the other way because he's the kind of guy who picks up litter, yells at teenagers who are going off-path into dangerous areas, and also because he's actually really hot and they totally fuck sometimes. Okay, often.
Jaskieresk and Yenna get along incredibly well because neither of them completely buy into Geralt's theories (although some are pretty well thought-out and have a lot of supporting evidence) and it's just too easy to tease him until he's sulking. Sometimes the ribbing goes a bit too far and Geralt will climb his favourite tree effortlessly (the muscles on the crazy fucker!) and refuse to come down. If it comes to it, Yenna offers to show him her boobs, and Jaskieresk promises the rest of the burrito he's eating. That usually tempts him back.
Nobody expects Geralt to uncover the location of a recently abandoned government facility in which genetic testing has reportedly been performed on children. Jaskieresk is totally in favour of a crazy-ass road trip, but Yenna needs convincing. In the end, she goes with them because a) if there is a grain of truth here (she's never seen Geralt so sure), then children's lives are at stake, and b) she absolutely does not trust Geralt and Jaskieresk to not accidentally blow something up during their 'adventure'.
So they get to the place - it looks like a tiny abandoned house - and trek inside. Geralt has an array of weird instruments to detect radioactivity and signals and all sorts of shit that Yenna and Jaskieresk don't understand. At first Jaskieresk is nervously chatty, screaming every time a shadow startles him, but after they search the dusty-ass house, he relaxes. There's nothing there. He and Yenna begin another session of teasing as Geralt grumps and triple-checks his map and sources.
Jaskieresk does a theatrical impression of Geralt fumbling with his paper map, and in the process, nudges an exposed brick by the fireplace. A hidden door slides open with a metallic woosh, revealing a brightly lit passageway. Stairs lead down to a securely locked door, complete with keycode.
Both Yenna and Jaskieresk are speechless. Geralt lets himself be smug for a moment, before he enters the passage and descends the steps.
Jaskieresk is quick to follow - 'cause then he gets to be safely sandwiched between Geralt and Yenna, smart - and they all peer at the panel. Authorised Personnel, it says in LED wording. Jaskieresk immediately goes to touch; Yenna slaps his hand; they begin squabbling. Geralt ignores them, studies the worn pattern from the many fingertips pressed into the keys, and quickly figures out that the code is the project leader's year of birth.
Yenna looks up from the headlock she has Jaskieresk in as the security door opens with the sound of filtered air depressurising. They're hit with the scent of antiseptic, ozone, and food rot.
Okay, so at this point, they're all a bit creeped out. Not even Geralt expected to get this far without resistance. They huddle together as they sneak down a long, sterile corridor, peeking at abandoned rooms. Yenna has one hand on her gun (she's the only one licensed and trained). Jaskieresk has one hand on Geralt's ponytail (he's not trained in the use of Geralt, but hey).
They see chaos everywhere. It looks like everyone working here left in a rush. The smell of old food is coming from a break-room where a platter of sandwiches has been abandoned. The offices have their computers broken, their drives removed and smashed. A sink is full of the charred remains of paperwork.
Clearly something happened.
Geralt goes about inspecting the hard drives, seeing if there are any he may be able to salvage. He turns up one, and a USB drive forgotten at the bottom of a drawer. Yenna carefully sifts through the burnt papers, picking out scraps that survived the blaze. Jaskieresk closes the break-room door and whines about the smell.
They're about finished with their tasks when they hear a thud. The trio freeze, staring at the end of the hallway at the last door, unexplored. Yenna withdraws her handgun, not twitchy with the trigger - she has discipline - but she won't waste time with the draw. She makes a motion for Geralt and Jaskieresk to get behind her as they inch down the hall. Both men obey silently.
She releases the electronic lock and the door glides silently open. They're confronted with a perplexing sight: rows of large metal cages, empty. As they walk, they read the small tags. Numbers, names - first names - with a red cross beside each. With a feeling of dread, they realise this is where the children were held. And every cross, a failed experiment.
Yenna is shaking by the time they reach the last cage. Jaskieresk looks as if he might be ill at any moment. Geralt's jaw is set firm in anger. They see the tag: 087 - Ciri.
Beside it, a green tick.
Inside the cage, a huddled form; she's bundled in blankets, pressed as far away as she can get. The child can't be older than ten. She still has a central line in her arm.
As Yenna puts her weapon away and switches to stoic crisis mode, coaxing the girl with a matronly voice, Geralt and Jaskieresk back up to give them room. They exchange a meaningful glance.
After this, there will be no going back to smoking and giggling and tree-climbing. After this, Jaskieresk's degree will sit incomplete. After this, they'll fight to hide and protect this child, and uncover the truth of her mistreatment.
After this, they'll begin to learn exactly what Subject 087, aka 'Ciri', is capable of.
Iām playing dream daddy and I just got to the part where your dad argues with another dad to show who has the top kid, and I just gotta say, Iām digging the idea of Geralt shaping off Ciri with proud dad vibes.
I know in their universe, they really canāt just show Ciri off because uh. well, you get my point, but I really canāt get it out of my head that maybe one day while traveling, Jaskier and Ciri pull Geralt and roach over to a field right outside of town, other kids are picking flowers and are pretty scattered out, and they all are picking flowers. Ciri only brought Jaskier along for extra hands. Geralt watches as the two scout for nice flowers, enjoying his time. āIs that your kid?ā
Geraltās never been scared before, and knew the person was there, but it startled him when the man pointed at Ciri, a wanted child. Geralt straightened up and looked at the man. He was tiny, old and frail, nowhere near a Knight. Heās hunched over a little with a balding head and long white beard. The more shocking thing about him is he was completely calm.
āI remember when I first had my daughter,ā he begins, and Geralt canāt help but feel... curious in a way. No, he doesnāt like sitting through stories, but if someone were on the outside of the village looking them, it really just looked like the man was talking to himself. āShe was the light of my life, yāknow. Always wanted a son, but after seeing her, I knew she was all I needed. Hah, now I got a grandchild.ā
Geralt looks down at the mans hands that now cross over his chest and raises both eyebrows. He didnāt know Ciri when she was little, but connecting with her over the time they had together? He turns and faces the two who have began to count their flowers.
The old man stands there in silence for a moment more before leaning a little closer. āYāknow, my daughter has more flowers than yours.ā Geralt pauses, before looking at the old man, who is oddly wearing the face of smug. Geralt squints slightly at the old man, before turning to Ciri and Jaskier and carefully counting. Why was he doing this? He doesnāt know ask someone else. āAnd sheās also good with not dropping all the flowers.ā
It doesnāt help that while geralt was counting, Ciri totally drops one and doesnāt notice. Okay old man, if this is how itās gonna be. He brings roach to the side, who has happily been feasting like a king (yeah I know sheās a ladie), he walks over to Ciri and Jaskier, carefully plucking flowers on the way. He looked for the best ones, no bent no broken flower for his surprise daughter. He looks up at the two as they stare at him with wide, happy eyes and straightens up. āWith six pairs of hands, we should get even more than with just four.ā
Later after Geralt, Jaskier and Ciri did he realize that maybe that old man was trying to get them closer or whatever.
So Iām a big fan of transformers, the movies are amazing, the action is killer, I hyper-fixate every time I watch the movies.
So I brought you all hear for an au idea, Transformers and the Witcher. At first? I thought of Optimus Prime being like Vesemir, and the rest like the wolves. Be hella cool. But hear me out okay?
Geralt is the guy who contacts the first Atuobots, and her name is Roach. I do want to stick to Optimus Prime being like Vesemir because I think that would be really cool.
Maybe some backstory is Geralt, Eskel and Lambert run a car shop, all three end up meeting Roach. We also get to meet Scorpion who takes Eskelās side, and then Storm, whoās stubborn enough to take Lambert.
I do want Yennefer, Ciri and Jaskier to be there. Yennefer is a federal Agent who works with the Autobots, getting top secret files to the next big guy, her and Geralt had a fling a while back but decided to keep it friendly. Ciri is Geraltās goddaughter, who stays with Geralt, Eskel and Lambert along with Roach, Scorpian and Storm, trust me they all swore to keep that kid safe no mater what. Jaskier? Jaskier is Yenneferās partner. New and young, good with words and good with getting them into situations Yennefer wants.
Jaskierās first meeting with Geralt, his brothers and the transformers, goes pleasently well. Scorpian loves him, heās funny, Storm doesnāt like him and Roach doesnāt seem to care. What they donāt know, and soon figure out, is that Jaskier first found Prime and that even though Prime drives mostly himself, he has a soft spot for Jaskier. Itās funny because when they first meet, Jaskier pats the hood and smiles, saying āhe likes to be called Vesemirā Geralt, Eskel and Lambert have a new appreciation towards Jaksier, the cars opinions doesnāt change but Roach learns to warm up to him.
During this time, Jaskier and Geralt warm up to each other nicely ;) dates and possibly a little more, but they are absolutely badass working together with the Autobots. I think itās a silly but cute idea, and Iām absolutely going to forever think about this idea.
I decided to draw the Witcher medallion and add a twist! I know that canonically Jaskier isnāt a main characterā¦ but in the Witcher Fanfiction Universe he has a huge role and I love himš
For you!!š @pedulum-chronometry Thank you so much for the suggestion!
I just want to thank everyone for the likes, comments and reblogs! It truly means the world to me!š Love you all so much! Also, I fixed the flowerā¦ Tried to make it flow betterš
