a solid snake character study/comic i did in 2020. there was going to be more to this, but these gifs were about snake’s character progression in solid snake-centric games (mg1-mgs4, with the exception of mgs3) + there was gonna be an epilogue. i actually had a script for this comic but i didn’t really like my writing + it’s lost now. i havent touched this since 2020, so here it is!
Since Jaskier’s arrival at Kaer Morhen a little over a week ago, Geralt thought that things between them were better. That, even though they would never go back to being… whatever they were, they would at least feel comfortable around one another.
Instead, in the moments when Geralt isn’t focusing on Ciri, he has the displeasure of watching Jaskier get along with all his brothers with ease. Chatting up Eskel, laughing uproariously with Lambert, talking about history with Vesemir. It should be a comfort that the witchers have taken to Jaskier so well.
A seed of jealousy has been planted deep within Geralt, and like a fool he tends to it, waters it, and watches it grow.
“You’re moping.” Ciri says to him one afternoon. It chills him to the bone how much she reminds him of Yennefer at times.
“I don’t mope.”
“Yes you do.” She studies her hair in the mirror before nodding. “Vesemir says it’s interfering with my training.”
Vesemir has other shit to worry about, like keeping his own bones from turning into dust, Geralt thinks with a scowl.
“You said you were serious about this.”
Geralt stands up from Ciri’s bed. There’s been no instruction manual, no clear way to show him how to properly take care of a child. If people would just leave him the hell alone for a fucking minute– he takes a deep breath. “I’ll take care of it.”
Ciri smiles. “Good. I want to work on lunges later.”
AAAAA I’m sorry I’m only just now getting to read this but gosh this is so soft;; I’m always a sucker for Jaskier still feeling a little unsure and Geralt just trying his Geralt best to make things better!!! I love this so much, thank you for writing it
