Witcher Masterpost

All my OC!reader fics.

For those who asked, here are my fics (updating as they come) focusing on the reader as a young girl in Geralt’s care. Ages & timings vary. I’ve put them in a relative order of when they’re set.

The reader is my OC, Akela, just with the pronouns/name changed as Tumblr seems to prefer reader!fics. Her version of each story can be found here.

Sticks and Stones - After Renfri’s death, you find Geralt surrounded by a crowd of people throwing stones at him and yelling at him to die. Needless to say, you react in the only way possible. Like a witcher.

Heart of Geralt - Geralt and Jaskier’s first meeting, except with an added twist. Who knew the White Wolf liked raspberries?

The White Wolf and His Pup - Geralt finds a baby girl in the woods, and for some reason, he can’t quite let her go.

Fragile - Geralt deals with a sick baby.

Like Father, Like Daughter - Geralt should have expected his child’s first word to be ‘fuck’.

Raising a Wild Pup - Geralt deals with a tantrum, watches the sun set, and goes swimming. In one evening. That’s his superpower. He calls it fatherhood.

Eleven - For a five-year-old, political events can be boring. Thankfully, Geralt is a master at distracting you.

Fire - It’s your birthday, and you and Geralt celebrate by playing a game.

Book - After a long day, you ask Geralt to read you a story before bed.

Drabble - “I’m bleeding!”

Drabble - “Are you mad at me?”

Drabble - “What the hell are you holding and why is it… wriggling?”

Eye of the Beholder - Geralt has a tendency to cover your eyes whenever a naked person steps into view—as any father does—but this proves to be quite difficult when he first meets Yennefer.

Sex and Apologies - After the djinn causes the building to fall around Geralt and Yennefer, you believe your guardian to be dead. He is, of course, very much alive, and you’re far from happy.

First - You smile at a boy, and Geralt starts to worry.

Little Traveller - While staying at an inn, you sleepwalk, leaving a very uneasy Geralt to come and find you.

Drabble - “Hear my heartbeat? Just focus on that.”

You Make Me Smile - The one thing you should never do is start a tickle fight with a witcher.

Each Other - Geralt would never have believed that he’d one day find himself braiding a teenage girl’s hair, never mind her braiding his… But here he is. And he isn’t complaining.

Like Him - You and Geralt have an argument, and it takes a certain bard to get you to stop glaring daggers at each other and make up.

Dad - Three times Geralt called you his daughter, and the one time you called him ‘Dad’.

A Mother’s Touch - Geralt is great, but sometimes, all you need is a mother’s arms to wrap around you and hold you close.

To Annoy a Witcher - Three times Geralt hated the bard’s song, and the one time he didn’t.

Wild Rabbit - You meet your mother—the mother who, as the stories go, left you to the monsters in the woods. Fortunately, you were found by Geralt before they could get you, but it’s safe to say you’re not happy to see this woman… and neither is Geralt.

Drabble - “I’ll be here when you wake up.”

Drabble - “Where’s Roach?”

Drabble - “You have a stick in your hair.”

Drabble - “You know I love you.”

Drabble - “I’ll always be there for you.”

Drabble - “What the hell are you holding and why is it… wriggling?”

Mud Monster - Jaskier should have known better than letting you convince him to play a prank on Geralt.

To Love and Be Loved - Geralt and Yennefer aren’t exactly the most well-behaved parents when it comes to you and teenage boys.

Fishy Business - Geralt teaches you how to catch fish.

Until the End - After Geralt loses both Yennefer and Jaskier on that mountainside, you’re there to assure him that he’s not alone.

Constant - You’re worried that, once Geralt finds Ciri, he’ll stop caring for you. Geralt’s quick to put your mind at ease.

Jealousy - You meet Ciri, and you are less than happy.

Name Game - Geralt accidentally calls Ciri something he shouldn’t have.

The Pup and the Cub - Geralt leaves you and Ciri to finally sort out your differences.

The Bard and the Barber - Though you’re all too happy to see Jaskier again, there’s one thing that must go: his hair.

honestly every time I listen to toss a coin it's more and more funny like some twink troubadour just comes out of nowhere bellowing a song about how mean elves beat him up before a ridiculously hot monster hunter told them not to so everyone should be nice to the monster hunter and give him money and drinks and literally nobody on the continent questions this they are all like "this is the greatest song I have ever heard ever here's seven grammys and a few coins for your grumpy monster killing bf godspeed king"

no write only daydream

I wanna talk about something that I have not stopped thinking about for weeks and yet I haven’t seen a single soul mention it.

I know I implied before that the Winter Soldier outfit was designed solely for looks and not function, but that’s not completely true. Parts of it certainly do have some actual function, namely holding as many weapons as humanly possible. 

With that in mind, I want to bring your attention to the iconic chest strap/harness. On the original CATWS outfit, this harness is designed to carry a gun on his back (specifically a Skorpion vz 61).

Now let’s look at the “Winter Soldier” outfit that Zemo gives Bucky in TFATWS. It includes a very similar chest harness, yet what’s on the back? Nothing. It literally serves no practical purpose. There’s not even a place to carry a gun if he wanted. So… why? What’s the point of him wearing it at all?

This time the harness is purely symbolic. It’s there to evoke the image of the original outfit – to let people know “this is the Winter Soldier”. As confirmed by the scenes in Madripoor, it seems to be widely known that the Winter Soldier is not a free agent but an attack dog who will follow his master’s every order. Therefore, this harness was explicitly designed and worn to suggest (through its strong visual association with the Winter Soldier) that he is, once again, OWNED and COMMANDED by someone.

Basically what I’m saying is Zemo dressed him up with the equivalent of a fucking collar.

Me: *thinking I’d be an amazing warrior if I ever stepped foot into a medieval fantasy world*

Versus me if I actually ever stepped foot into a medieval fantasy world:
