Rewrite the Stars (ver. 1) (kinda sad)

I heard this song at work and I wanted to write a one-shot for it. This one if the Geralt version. I will be writing a Din Djarin version next. Warning! Slight angst!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Geralt's POV~

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pullin' you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?

I was never one to believe in destiny, but when I met her, my thoughts on the matter changed just slightly. Maybe it was destiny that brought us together, or maybe it was just the monster attacking her in the swamp. But either way, I had met the most beautiful maiden I had ever seen in my entire lifetime. Of course, after I rescued her from the kikimora that had attacked her, she gracefully thanked me, telling me her name before she flitted off into the forest, never to be seen by my eyes again. 

Jaskier teased me about the incident, saying the stars had meant for us to meet. I brushed off his teasing, sheathing my sword and mounting Roach. I nudged her side with my heel and we started moving, at a pace that Jaskier could keep up at of course. 

My mind couldn't stop thinking about her, (Y/N) the beautiful maiden that was single handedly keeping a kikimora at bay with nothing but a small dagger.

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight

Years passed since then, and to this day I can't get that maiden out of my head. Her beautiful voice rings in my ears, images from that day flash through my mind at seemingly random times, and yet I haven't seen her since that day. I ride into a nearby town, dismounting Roach as we approached the tavern. I tie Roach's reins to a post nearby, walking into the tavern. I sit down at a table in the furthest corner, careful not to draw too much attention to myself. The barmaid walks over, handing me a full tankard of ale before walking away. I look down into the tankard, humming softly. I wish I could just rewrite destiny, that way I had never come across that fair maiden in the woods.

Just when I was about to take a drink I heard the sound of light footsteps approaching my table and I looked up, seeing her.

~(Y/N)'s POV~

I walk towards the table where Geralt of Rivia sat, my own tankard of ale in hand. I place it down on the table, sitting down across from him.

"It's been a while, witcher." I say, leaning back in my seat.

"(Y-Y/N)." He stutters, seemingly surprised to see me. I smirk.

"Destiny, fate, the stars aligning, whatever you wanna call it, I don't give a shit. All I care about is that you took my kill that day and somehow, as all my friends are saying, you stole my heart. I don't believe in destiny or fate, but damn, this feeling in my chest when I saw your horse outside the tavern..." I trail off, sipping my ale.

"You're the one that ran off after introducing yourself. I've been searching for you ever since."

"As 'fate' would have it, you never found me. Some bullshit right there. Witchers are some of the best trackers out there and you couldn't track down one measly maiden. Shows how hard you were tracking me." I spit out the words like venom.

"I tried spells from a witch, I tried tracking you down by the scent of lavender and wood fire but I got nothing. Sometimes I would find hints of that scent, which meant you were always ten steps ahead of me." Geralt sighs, looking at me with those striking amber eyes.

You think it's easy
You think I don't wanna run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why because we're able to be
Just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see
That it was hopeless after all

I sigh, chugging the rest of my ale. 

"Maybe you should just give up trying to hunt me down. I'm not one of your monsters that you can take down so easily. I'm not one of your whores that you can fuck then leave. I'm a woman who can take down a monster just as easily as you. I've spent the last years since I saw you training. I'm no witcher, I feel human feelings. Which is more than you can say." I hiss, standing up and walking away. I pull the hood of my cloak up over my head, sighing as I walked to my horse, mounting the mare and backing up, moving to leave.

No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

~Geralt's POV~

I get up, leaving a handful of coins on the table before running out of the tavern, I run up to (Y/N), stopping next to her horse.

"Wait." I say, grabbing her wrist to get her to stay.

"Unhand me or I'll break your arm." She says, glaring at me. I let go of her wrist.

"I may not be able to feel normal human emotions but I know when I feel love. And that's how I feel when I see you, when I hear your voice, when I smell your scent... gods everything about you makes me feel so, fluttery inside... a way I've only felt about one person before." I trail off, noticing I was rambling. She looks down at me.

"Ride off with me. I'll take care of you. My monster hunting will bring in enough to keep us afloat."

"That's the whole thing. I'm not looking to settle down, Geralt. I wanna be free. My own monster hunting allows me that. So, let me have this freedom." She says, sighing.

"Then let's hunt together. Let's ride together. I'm not looking to tie you down. If you wanna ride we can ride. We can be free together." I say, looking up at her.

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible
It's not impossible
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible

A slight smile creeps to her face.

"So long as you're not looking for a domestic housewife..." she trails off, shaking her head.

"N-no... I can't." She says, looking into my eyes.

How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours

I nod softly. "I understand." I say, stepping back.

"Until our paths cross." She says.

"Until our paths cross." I repeat, watching her ride off into the moonlit night.

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied

~(Y/N)'s POV~

I look back over my shoulder, seeing Geralt standing there, looking rejected. I turn back and sniffle, wiping my eyes.

"I want to... but I can't." I mutter, my horse shakes her head, snorting. I roll my eyes.

"Don't judge me." I say, riding off.

I hope y'all liked it! Be on the lookout for the Din Djarin version coming soon!

Luv Y'all,
