#geralt
okay but what i think i love most about The Bath Scene is that jask fucking has a towel over his shoulder, sleeves rolled up, bopping about picking things up and tossing them in, all as if he has been hired to do this when like…fucking no one asked him?? to do any of it???
would LOVE to have seen like five minutes before when jask is just taking off his doublet, rolling his sleeves up, tossing a towel over his shoulder, all with an air of “ah yes in we go” while geralt is just. alright. this is happening now i guess.
I like coffeeshop au but I don’t like how they always seem to be about cute fluffy love. I want it to be about coffee shop itself.
I don’t actually want to write a plot or anything but let’s have a Witcher coffeeshop au where everyone else in the story is their modern, real world equivalent except for Geralt, who is the owner/only barista and the more they find out about him the more baffling his entire life becomes.
Because it’s Geralt the cafe is just called “Coffee.” He has one kind of coffee on the menu, two kinds of teas, lots of milk options but you have to add them yourself and they’re still in the original cartons. There’s buns and sweet buns. Don’t overthink it.
Nobody can guess which car in the small lot is his until one day someone hangs around until closing and sees Geralt ride off on a fucking horse he had parked behind the cafe.
The first really hot day of the year Geralt wears a shirt that reveals his giant arms and someone cracks a joke like “Did you get those guns pulling espresso?” He grunts and says nah, longsword. And goes back to wiping the table without further explanation.
Some asshole starts making a scene and is not smart enough to be intimidated by Geralt’s giant arms, but right as things look like they’re about to get violent Geralt flicks his fingers in a small deliberate pattern and says firmly, “Leave.” The guy shuts up and leaves without a word.
A skinny teenager comes in and geralt smiles for the first time that anyone has ever seen. She gives him a peck on the cheek and he wraps her in a huge bear hug. She steals all the sweet buns and leaves. Someone asks who she is, he lovingly watches the door and says it’s his daughter. Everyone is confused because she clearly does not have any blood relation to him, but hey, adoption is a thing.
Someone is reading Tolkien with a picture of a dragon on the cover. Geralt glances at the illustration, grunts the word “Inaccurate” and keeps mopping.
One of the regulars gets up the nerve to ask why he owns the cafe if he clearly hates people and does not really care about coffee. He shrugs and says it beats ghoul rash. When the regular says they’ve never heard of ghoul rash, Geralt leans in close and hisses “You’re welcome.”
That kid with the guitar occasionally comes in and bounces a quarter off his ass. There is a sign with his picture on the bulletin board reading “BANNED” and lists a number of offences, most of which boil down to Geralt is annoyed at the kids face. The kid is in here every other week.

geralt eats the soap at lush thinking they are free samples
me wasting resources and time making sure geralt gets his water, 3 meals a day, and meditates at a decent hour meanwhile i’ve been playing until 5am on off brand lacroix and a vitamin C “geralt! it’s 11 already”
Y/N: Can I please burn this place?
Geralt: Seeing as it’s a castle made of stone, I don’t think fire is going to do much damage.
Y/N: But trying will make me feel better.
Geralt: Are you good at negotiations?
Y/N: Yes, but last week a dragon almost set my hair on fire, so it’s your turn to negotiate.
