Sorry, I couldn't resist it, Lambert and Aiden had to join Geralt in his fight against under the bed monsters!

So the next to encounter one of these contracts are Lambert and Aiden. The last town they passed wasn't too friendly and they were chased off before they could get all the supplies they needed, so when they found a small village they hoped they could get at least some basics like food. What they didn't expect was a smash child to go up to them, trying to give them a contract. Sir Witchers, the small boy, probably around five years of age, said. Sir Witchers I have a contract for you. They looked at each other, slightly confused, for usually the children were all held back by their parents and the stories told about Witchers but this small boy, though smelling and looking nervous, didn't reek of fear. So Aiden crouched down and asked "can you tell me more about the contract you want us to fulfill?" The boy looked around, as if to make sure nobody listened, and said with a lowered voice "there is a monster, under my bed, and the songs said you can get rid of it, so can you get rid of the monster under my bed, too?" And as if in an afterthought he added "please? You see, my mother is all on her own, and she can't fight the monster, she says she is too old for this nonsinte... nonsente" he gave up trying to find the right word "well she says she too old for this, and my sister says there is no monster, but I can hear it in the night, I can hear it rumbling and moving and waiting for me to fall asleep so it can hurt me, and can you just help me, please? I'm gonna pay you! Look, I made this bracelet, and I asked my sister to give it a kiss and a charm, because she's a verg, a virg, a young lady, those the songs sing about, and it says this brings luck to the one who possesses it, so if you can get rid of the monster I'll pay you with it." The boy seemed very proud of his speech and Aiden was trying very hard to hold back the laughter bubbling up, because it had to be Geralt and Jaskiers doing, for a child to approach them for a monster under the bed. He glanced over to Lambert, who looked grumpy and irritated. So he just looked at his partner looked him in the eyes, while the boy was getting more and more nervous stepping from one foot to another and holding a silent communication with Lambert. 'Can you really turn him down? Look in his eyes, look at how hopeful he is, how scared, and why not have a little fun with this? I know, the bracelet is worth nothing but he did go the extra mile to have something to pay us with, and by judging by his clothes this family probably barely has enough to get by every day' to which Lambert communicated back 'and taking something as payment is gonna help? What did my idiotic brother get us into? We're wasting time and daylight and I'm exhausted and just want a nice, warm bed and some good alle for once' after a little while, Lamberts features softened and he agreed, 'For you, my love'. When telling the boy he radiated so much happiness and relieve it was almost overwhelming. They followed the boy, who proudly told them his name was Lukas, to a small hut. The walls of the hut were barely withstanding the forces of nature and they could see, that the family was not doing very well and the mother was probably a widow and overworked and didn't have the energy to handle monsters under the bed anymore. They knocked at what pretended to be a door, but was only a piece of clothing that wouldn't even keep the cold out. A girl, probably eleven years of age, came to the door, looking at them, and especially at Aiden with his eye patch, suspiciously. "They came to defeat the monster under my bed!" The boy acclaimed happily. "How many times do I have to tell you, there is no monster under the bed!" The girl hissed, which made the boys eyes well up with tears. "No need to cry", Lambert says, still a bit grumpy. "We're already here, might as well look into the monster under the bed".

The sister still looked at them suspiciously, but the boy intervened "look, they already accepted the bracelet as payment, and please, can't they just get rid of the monster? That's what they do, fighting monsters! Helping humans! The songs tell the stories of their heroic deeds. And I'm really scared of the monster" The sister just rolled her eyes and let them in.

Aiden knew, the moment they entered the hut, that there was no monster, but he also knew the boy wouldn't believe him if he said so. And he didn't want to disappoint him. So they followed the boy to the bed, hidden behind another curtain, where the whole family probably slept in "please, all step back for a moment Aiden says to the siblings and makes a show out of looking under the bed, looking in every corner and looking back at the siblings to stage whisper "there is one. I can feel it. You have to be careful and let me handle it." And draws his silver sword. "Silver, for monsters" he explains, still stage whispering. The hope, rolling off the boy makes Aiden even more determined to give the children a show they'll never forget. So after the first few pokes with his sword under the bed he pretends the monster got away, flying through the room and pretended to have a truly heroic fight, all the while commenting on it, ending it with killing the monster after it retreated under the bed again. "So, it's dead now?" The boy asked. "And the corpse will be dust and protect me for five years from another one?" Smelling the hope pouring off the boy Lambert answers "not only five years, there won't be another one under this bed, forever". Even with the happiness, he still didn't expect the boy to jump at them, and hugging them, one after the other. "Thank you, thank you both" the boy repeats over and over until it's almost too much and Lambert looks like he's only a second away from bolting out of the door. Finally his sister takes a pity on them and asks Lukas, if he's not forgetting something and to not waste any more of the Witchers time. When Lukas takes the bracelet out of his pocket he looks a bit timid. "Sir Witchers, I'm sorry, I only have one bracelet", to which Lambert replies "it's alright boy, we can share it, I'm sure it's strong enough to protect the both of us, plus my companion did most of the work anyways". After that, Aiden makes sure they leave before it's too much for Lambert.

When they first hear the song the boy talked about a few weeks later in a tavern Aiden can even make Lambert start cackling, when he points out how confused Geralt had to have been when he was first approached with a contract like that and how much fun they're gonna have in the winter, teasing Geralt for his heroic deed. They're not gonna tell about their own "contracts" for monsters under the bed, but they agree, that the next time a child approaches them with a contract like that, they're both gonna make it a huge show for them.

A Contract’s a Contract, No Matter How Small

local woman’s brain has been hijacked by a witcher and his bard. she can now not shut the fuck up about them despite her best efforts. 

hello gang, same song and dance. i made a post about something, my brain gremlin wouldn’t let it go, and i sat down and had to write it to get it out of my system (also on AO3!)

Unexpected side effect of Jaskier praising witchers far and wide: children making the logical jump that witchers can handle ALL monsters. Including such subspecies as the under-the-bed variety.

And, well, what are you supposed to say to a child who asks you to fight a monster for them?

His handling of the situation is perhaps not Geralt’s finest hour when it happens. But of the many things he was trained for, the protocol for handling the situation when a child looks to contract your services never came up.

He’s only vaguely aware of the little girl when he and Jaskier reach the town they’re stopping in for the night. His senses and training are enough for him to know that she’s there, but he certainly isn’t expecting her to walk right up to him, whipping her braid over her shoulder to keep it out of her hands where she’d been worrying it on her walk over. He can see her square her shoulders and tug at her dress a bit, straightening it. She’s right in his path, so he can’t go around her. He shoots a look at Jaskier in case he has an explanation for this, but his lover for once appears as thrown by what a human is doing as Geralt is. It’s mildly validating.

!!! Spoilers for the ending of amnesia: the dark descent and amnesia: the bunker !!!

Yall i think Lambert might miss their long distance husband

Some alien fanart I did while rewatching the first film

little cult of the lamb sketches of some of my followers and lambert

I was thinking about cotl so I had to doodle down my own lamb.

I couldnt stop thinking about the fact fleece the lamb wears just kinda spawns on you when you're first resurrected so I thought it would be cool if the fleece was made from the blood running down their neck and back being turned into hardened ichor as they become a vessel of a god

(I also like thinking some of their wool got cut off when their head was chopped off)
