    Summary

    Aiden had found a small hole on Lambert’s walls, pecked it bigger like a woodpecker until he could squeeze right through and make himself a nice home inside Lambert’s heart. He lay there like a cat in a sunbeam, completely content, and Lambert was baffled by it because he had always thought he didn’t have anything to give.

    (Or: how Aiden and Lambert met and taught each other important survival skills like how to swim and how to be loved.)

    Summary

    This is all Geralt’s fault.

    It should come as a surprise to no-one that blaming Geralt for the fact that he’s somehow managed to braid his fingers into Aiden’s hair will not undo the damage that’s already been done, nor will it make his lover stop laughing at him anytime soon (a distant part of him recognizes that he should count his blessings that Aiden is laughing, because there’s nothing inherently funny about their current situation… especially when Eskel comes into the room brandishing the gnarliest pair of scissors Lambert has ever seen. The sheer amount of rust on the blades, combined with the gods-awful squeak they make when they part, turn Lambert’s stomach—)

    AKA

    Jaskier started some shit in 'Darling, Let Your Hair Down,' and now Lambert is contractually obligated to try his hand at hair-braiding, too.

    Summary

    It had been two weeks.

    Two weeks since Lambert left Aiden. No, correction. Two weeks since Aiden let Lambert walk away from him without putting up much of a fight at all. Two weeks since Aiden realised that Lambert was too much work, too high maintenance, too broken to be deserving of Aiden’s time.

    Lambert fucking missed the bastard, too.

    Summary

    What's the worst part about being a witcher? If you ask Lambert, it's not the road dirt, the insults he hears behind his back or the monster guts he ends up covered in several times a week.
    The worst part, according to him, is that he never chose this life in the first place.
    Not saying he would have made better decisions but, you know. He wishes he could have had at least the liberty to fuck up in a more spectacular way.

    Summary

    Yennefer took a step closer to him, her posture softening. “You can’t keep outrunning your past, Lambert. It’s going to catch up with you.”

    “Then it better fucking hurry up. It’s only been seven hundred fucking years,” he said, but all the malice had gone from his words.

    He didn’t tell her that there was no point in saying such things. He didn’t tell her that Aiden was dead. He didn’t tell her that between one long day and the next he had forgotten Aiden’s birthday and how he liked his rabbit cooked and what his favorite dagger looked like. He didn’t tell her that try as he might he could no longer remember the sound of his voice, or the way that his laugh rang across an empty clearing, or what his hair smelled like. He didn’t tell her that even his face had long since begun to blur, leaving him with nothing but a lingering feeling of safety and longing. He didn’t tell her that all he had left of his lover was a name, a worn medallion and the overwhelming feeling of guilt that plagued him every time he closed his eyes.

    Summary

    Lambert loves taking every kind of picture. He takes snapshots of his boyfriends posing for him, whether they’re trying to be funny or a bit more...sensual. Either way, Lambert treasures them, but his favourite kind of photo just so happens to be the kind his lovers hate the most.

    Summary

    “I want you to teach me how to paint my face.”

    Eskel looks up from his book, raising an eyebrow at Lambert’s sudden request. He’s barely seen the youngest witcher these past few days, almost as if Lambert has actively been avoiding him all this time. Eskel notices the constipated look on Lambert’s face, the one he usually gets when he needs something, but doesn't want or doesn’t know how to ask for it. 

    “Good morning, Lambert,” Eskel counters sarcastically, returning his attention to the bestiary in his lap, “I'm doing well, thanks. What about you?”

    Summary

    Kairosclerosis: the moment you realize you're happy

    Lambert knows pain.

    As time goes on, it all blurs into one. Physical, emotional, mental...sooner or later, it blends together, and he can no longer find the difference. Pain is pain, and it all hurts the same. People speak of childhood like it’s something fond, a time of happiness in memories long past, but Lambert doesn’t know what that feels like.

    Summary

    Lambert had stared at Geralt with awestruck wonder. “We have the same hair!” he’d said, reaching out to touch one of Geralt’s reddish curls. They had been several shades darker than Lambert’s own, but still just as vibrant. 

    Geralt had laughed. “It would seem we do, little pup.” 

    “I’ve never met anyone with hair like mine,” Lambert had whispered, like he was telling a secret. “Except my mummy.” 

    “Well,” Geralt had said, placing his large hand on Lambert’s shoulder. “I can’t replace your mother. But we could be brothers. Would you like that?” 

     

    or: lambert and geralt used to be close, but geralts second trials changed that. now, in the aftermath of the sacking, they find their way back to eachother

    And when, finally, Aiden gets his hands on Lambert, he realizes that he caught feelings.

    Now he just needs to come to terms with this new development and to get Lambert to talk to him about his own feelings. This last task is easier said than done though and Aiden prays for patience.

    Summary

    Eskel has a secret.

    It’s a secret he’s never brought himself to share with anyone. It’s a part of himself he keeps carefully hidden, an aspect of his personality he only started exploring really late in his long life. The first time he dabbled was in Novigrad.

    His family can never find out.

    This is part of a series, but it can be read as a one-shot.

    Summary

    “Why does he have to open it between jobs?” Lambert grumbled quietly to Eskel in the breakroom, glaring down into the tepid depths of the filter coffee in his hands. It was difficult to not stare when Geralt waltzed into the breakroom with his overalls open to the belly button. His entire torso was a work of fucking art. Literally, in all ways. Lambert had to stop himself staring at the tattoos, because that inevitably led to staring at the rest; the amazing fucking chest, the ripped abdominals.

    Summary

    Lambert was minding his own business in the ordinary town of Daevon, Keadwen when Jaskier appeared and started kissing him like his life depended on it. Unsure whether he was dreaming or not, but having fancied Jaskier for ages, Lambert kissed back and the day just kept getting stranger, but definitely better, from there.

    Summary

    Under all that prickly attitude and smart remarks, Lambert spends most of his time kicking himself for not being as good as other witchers--namely Geralt. Geralt thinks that's bullshit.
