my mind is full of ideas after seeing Blood Origin so I came up with a season 2 fix-it fic featuring the Blood Origin characters.

Francesca knows Nilfgaard's allliance will eventually turn against her and The Northern kingdoms are already out for blood. In this AU, instead of seeking out the Deathless Mother she tries to summon heroes of Elven past in a ritual. But she doesn’t have enough magic on her own which is why Fringilla and Yennefer were captured so they would participate in the ritual. And now instead of the Deathless Mother in S2 it’s The Seven who are transported to the future and the war between Nilfgaard and non humans and the North.

The Seven were taken from their timeline just before they headed to Xin'trea and since it's a ritual their original timeline still exists they are just now versions of themselves from that moment who have been brought to the future.

Unfortunately documentation of The Seven is very sparse and Francesca had no idea who she was summoning. She got them caught up on the war between Nilfgaard and the North and human oppression of Elven kind (and wow they don't even know what humans are so this is a trip for them). Francesca assumes they would join her in battle but once Eile talks to Fringilla and Yennefer she realizes they would also be helping Nilfgaard because Fringilla has convinced Francesca of an elven/Nilfgaard alliance and considering they were fighting against a similar empire in their time...yeah the Seven basically escape the Elven camp that night alongside Yennefer.

From here, they decide to split into two parties because they need to find out more about the future and what the Continent is like now. Syndril as a mage creates pendants with a glamour to hide the elves' ears so they can move freely.

Syndril, Yennefer, Zacare, Meldof and Callan all head towards Aretuza. Syndril, as an original creator of the monoliths is probably once of the best people on the continent to try and work out what is happening with them and why Yennefer lost her magic after Sodden Hill. In addition, Yennefer tells them that Aretuza holds many secrets about what happened after their time on the continent and what magic is like today.

Meanwhile Eile, Fjall, and Scian all head towards Oxenfurt since instead of focusing on the monoliths they need to figure out what the fuck a Witcher is and why people keep giving Fjall strange looks. Oxenfurt is their choice because Yennefer told them there is a masive library there and she heard there is a bard there who could tell them more about Witchers.

Obviously, the Oxenfurt crew finds Jaskier and him and Eile have a bard-off that turns into the sickest duet ever.

I just finished watching The Witcher: Blood Origin AND OH MY GOD. I’m not going to spoil anything but if anyone has seen it, please comment because I HAVE to talk about it. 

It changes so much about the Witcher?! 

Jaskier: The St-The Story--Let me guess, a bunch of warriors join forces to fight against all odds... It has been done to death.

Seanchai: Has it? Seven estranged warriors who come together to fight an unstoppable empire, bring humans and monsters to the world via the Conjunction of the Spheres, and create the very first version of a witcher? That's been done to death?

Jaskier: Uh... No. No, I've--I've not heard that one, admittedly. Wow! That's very different. Oo-oo-oh! This is very fun. You're telling me that the first version of a witcher was a badass elf...? This is really gonna piss Geralt off... Alright. Where do we start?

Seanchai: It all began 1200 years ago, in the Elven Golden Era, before the arrival of humans and monsters in the world. Six lone outcasts, strangers to each other, destined to be found together in a blood quest...

Fjall of Dog Clan.

Scian of Ghost Tribe.

Brother Death.

The Mages Zacare and Syndril.

Meldof and her vengeful hammer, Gwen.
