oh tyto my beloved how I’ve missed you 💛

Handwave handwave portal happens dimensions are crossed...

... and the following all end up in Valdemar, not long after the end of the “Storms” trilogy(ish):- Geralt, Jaskier, Yennefer, Ciri, Triss, Eskel, Lambert, Roach.

The following things occur:

- Ciri is enrolled temporarily into Healers Collegium (but taking some extra classes with Heralds especially) and makes some awesome friends. Triss gets chatting to all her tutors and LOVES ALL OF IT.

- Yennefer becomes drinking buddies with Elspeth. Then she meets Firesong. Yennefer and Firesong become TERRIFYINGLY good friends, it’s actually somewhat alarming.

- Darkwind designs outfits for everyone. Jaskier is incredibly excited. So is Yennefer. The rest pretend not to be but are only half-convincing, especially Lambert.

- Alberich enlists all three witchers to help teach combat classes. He and Lambert find each other a bit much, but he gets on really really well with Geralt and Eskel.

- Jaskier does some guest teaching at Bardic Collegium, learns pretty much all of Bard Stefan’s repertoire (and promises to take on board the slightly more... rigorous approach that Valdemar takes to historical accuracy in songs...), is just generally an immediate hit. Geralt attempts to pretend that he finds this unbearable rather than lovely. No one except Jaskier is convinced.

- Roach loves it. They know how to treat horses (well, and also those rather beautiful not-horses in the other stable) here. Good. Yes. Moar hot mash pls.

- And then... all three of the witchers are Chosen, as is Ciri.

- Well that made everything slightly awkward.

- Jaskier won’t stop crying with joy and writing songs about it all. Triss isn’t far off. Yennefer pretends to not care. No one is even *slightly* convinced.

- Lambert has been caught smiling and looking soft on multiple occasions. Eskel has never been seen so much at peace. Geralt is just so darn *happy*, especially when his Companion clearly gets on very well with Roach.

- The witcher-Companions decide to take a slightly more interventionist approach to their Chosens’ lives, given the different circumstances. Geralt’s keeps making pointed remarks about Jaskier. Eskel’s and Lambert’s? About each other. (Yennefer and Triss seem to be sorting things out without external help.)

- And that is how three witchers and one future witcher end up being honorary Heralds and bringing four Companions back with them to the Continent. And how Geralt and Jaskier finally get together, ditto Eskel and Lambert.

And how an awful lot of things that would have been brutal and tragic in all their future lives are averted.

sometimes the background character/extra toys characters are sometimes a little lackluster or samey in Transformers
