Okay so I’ve watched the Witcher and unpopular opinion (maybe) but to me Yen and Geralt do not have chemistry 😭 well they do in a sense but I don’t see it as romantic?? They give me weird vibes like idk friends with benefits or something but I cannot see them as what they are trying to portray? Tbh Triss and Geralt made more sense to me in the show, hell even Jaskier and Geralt gave me some vibes sometimes; and I absolutely cannot see Tissaia and Yen as mother-daughter?? They had too much tension in some scenes for it to be innocent I’m sorry 😭
So ofc now I’m reading an obscure amount of fanfiction where the relationships make more sense to me (Geralt- a good but quiet friend, usually in a relationship with Triss or Jaskier; Jaskier being Yen’s best friend but their banter stays the same; Triss being a cutie, always helpful and caring either in a relationship with Geralt or Sabrina(who is a bitch on the outside but we all know she’s a softie sometimes); Tissaia being Tissaia but with her softer side showing more, finally accepting her feelings for Yen; and Yen being Yen but finally getting the love she deserves)
So I will gladly accept fic recs

Yennaia bits in ep 3.04
We start off the ep with Yen debasing herself in front of...the Council? Idk. Triss, Sabrina and Rita are there and they definitely weren’t on the council before. But they lost people at Sodden so it might be for all we know.
She’s talking about throwing a party organising a conclave to unite the mages of the North and she starts we-ing.
(The subtitles are wrong - some other dude asks ‘Who is ‘we’?’)
And of course we know who ‘we’ is.
The rest of them are like ‘no shit’.
Yen then goes on to apologise and beg forgiveness.
And she does a bit more quoting from self-help books, which amuses Tissaia.
The Council(?) are won over and everyone bashes their hands on the arms of their chairs and a party it is!
Sabrina and Rita are tasked with hand writing the invitations (surely mages can just magic these things up?? Seems a lot of effort. But it’s fun imagining them bitching about this low level job they’ve been given while Tissaia and Yen swan about and giggle together.
Tissaia compliments Yen on her political acumen.
Yen’s like ‘It’s just being a selfish arsehole in a different way, of course I’m good at it.’.
Tissaia sees through this overly sincere politician talk and tells Yen she can drop the act now and it’s actually delightful to see Yennefer relax into herself.
They laugh and grasp at each other and it’s genuinely lovely for them to have this moment together.
Then Yennefer notices Tissaia’s new jewellery and somehow knows ‘this is new’ despite not having seen Tissaia since a month after Sodden.
We get another close up on the bracelet of doom, so we definitely know it’s going to go off in the third act.
I wish this laughter was because they both knew he was a dick and that they were playing him. Alas, we have to conclude that Yen is thrilled that Tissaia is getting some from her new daddy.
However, it gives us this moment of herlooking at Tissaia with unadulterated affection, so I will take it.
Tissaia makes a comment that we can all relate to.
Yes, Tissaia, we all are. And we get some exposition about Philippa and Tissaia being close, despite this never having been mentioned or alluded to before.
Tissaia looks at Yen’s chest sad and wistful.
Yen is probably wondering why Tissaia has all these grudges with other mages and Yen herself gets forgiven instantly for everything. She makes a joke to lighten the mood and Tissaia is amused again.
(Then there’s a bit with Triss about the novices going missing that I’m trying to repress because unless Tissaia’s under some sort of mind control, then her flippancy about girls going missing is infuriating.)
As with the conversation about Yen coming home, Vilgefortz takes part in another scene that only emphasises how much Yennefer means to Tissaia. He challenges Yennefer’s presence at Aretuza and she’s cheeky about it.
But she changes her tune when he brings up Tissaia.
Yen is clearly sincere in her reactions to what he’s saying about her impact on Tissaia.
(Of course it’s infuriating that we know he’s the one with the agenda and is going to hurt Tissaia, but nice to see Yen get to hear this stuff.)
Yen couldn’t lie to Tissaia if she tried 🥺
“I know you to your core. Your pain my pain.” 🥺😭
When I first watched this, I wondered if we were going to get an inkling that Yen might be suspicious of Vilgefortz in return, and tell him that if he hurts Tissaia, she’ll make Sodden look like a back garden barbecue on a wet weekend. But she seems to have been taken in as badly as Tissaia.
God that one hurts.
Sigh.
Very true, Vilgefortz. We all wanted her to be an arsehole to you. It’s far more comforting.
Anyway, Yen goes to visit Tissaia’s ex Philippa to invite her to the party.
On her return, her portal goes weird and she is attacked and ends up on the floor of the Council room, where Triss and Sabrina find her.
Yen: on the floor, panting and bleeding
Sabrina:
(That’s not Yennaia related at all, I just heart Sabrina so much)
Anyway, Triss implies that Yennefer should be careful who she trusts and that bringing Ciri to Aretuza isn’t a good idea.
Probably because Tissaia’s been acting like a pod person around her and also told Vilgefortz stuff last season that she wasn’t supposed to. But Yen takes it the wrong way and storms out.
And we see them all get ready for the party, and that’s the end.

Y'know,i love myself some funny pranks😈;just when it's not pulled on me. 🤣🤣
Here's an idea:
Yennefer pranks the Rectoress(Tissaia dV),just for fun,but enlists the help of ofc. Rita and who ever else you decide to use.
I think it would be funny because Tissaia is someone with a metal pole stuck so far up her ass,that it's majestic.Ofc. Yen wants to bend that pole to a 90°C angle for the fun of it.
OH! it would even be so funny if she got the Aretuza students in on it too !! 🤣🤣😎
NB*you don't need to follow this idea exactly, change it up and do whatever you'd like with this idea to your liking. 🙃

Just Another Broken Heart - CloudtowersWitch - The Witcher (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
The beauty of the sad scene was interrupted by a sharp pain in her wrists, causing the dark-haired woman to inhale harshly. The flowers fell out of her hands and she gripped her still aching wrist instead, while she vaguely noticed Triss looking at her with concern and she could feel the confused looks of the others at her back.
But Yennefer couldn't worry about that right now. Because suddenly the image of her own desperate act from so many decades ago flashed before her inner eye and she knew immediately what was happening just a few levels above them and her whole body was filled with fear.
Fear and pure panic filled every bone and nerve in her body as she suddenly jumped up and stumbled out of the room to get to Tissaia's office as fast as her legs would allow. "No. No. No. Please no!" was all that filled her panicked thoughts as she left the others in the tunnels.

💡 Triss/Sabrina, prompt meet cute at a bar ~
"Have fun with your husband tonight!"
The dark-haired woman smiles brightly as she wraps her scarf around her neck. "Thanks again Triss, you're truly a lifesaver. And if anything's wrong with Ciri you -"
"I call you, yes, I know Yenna. This isn't my first time babysitting." The woman behind the bar - Triss - rolls her eyes but it's fond. "Now go! Or you"ll miss your train."
"Love you, bye," the other woman says before heading out of the bar. One last wave and then she disappears from Sabrina's sight.
Now it's her time.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop but -" two big brown eyes are on her, Sabrina swallows hard. "You've… been to law school?"
Then Triss smiles, soft wrinkles by her eyes and damn, she really is stunning.
"Yes! You probably wonder how I ended up here, huh?"
"Kinda. I'm sure it's a great story though," Sabrina replies, hoping she isn't laying it on too thick. But there's something magical about this woman, she just needs to know more.
A beat of silence. Then another smile. "It is actually."
Triss glances around the place, calculating - there aren't many people, besides a handful of regulars.
"Let me grab a glass of water and I'm all yours."
All mine, huh? Sabrina thinks, smirking as she gulps down the rest of her drink. She can work with that.
1k celebration
