YenRalt

YenRalt is the het ship between Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg from The Witcher fandom.

Season 1
Yennefer and Geralt first met when Geralt was trying to save Jaskier from a Djinn's curse. While Yennefer did heal Jaskier, she tricked Geralt and put a spell on him so he could not interfere with her plans for controlling the Djinn. Geralt was planning on leaving with Jaskier, however, upon realizing Yennefer would die if she tried to control the Djinn, he went to save her. Geralt then revealed that he was the Djinn's master and told Yennefer to let go of the Djinn, Yennefer refused and when Geralt asked what she wanted, she yelled out that she wanted everything. Yennefer asked Geralt for his final wish, and he wished that destiny would bound her to him. When the Djinn disappeared and the tower crumbled, Yennefer told Geralt that she did not need his help and he chuckled and said that she did. The two gazed at each other before kissing and eventually making love.

Later on, Geralt agreed on a mission to kill a dragon by Villentretenmerth only to encounter Yennefer. Throughout the mission, Geralt keeps glancing at Yennefer and when the two finally have a moment to talk, he discovers she only took this mission after hearing about a remedy with a dragon's heart that can regain her womb. Geralt laughs and says that he didn't think she would be the type to fall for false stories about dragons, she stubbornly replies that they're not fake, to which Geralt disagrees with. When Yennefer asks Geralt if he thinks she would make a bad mother, he agrees. The two end up getting into an argument where Geralt reveals his child suprise to which Yennefer laughs at, saying that it was rich how he lectured her on fake cures for a child while he cheated with destiny to steal one. Geralt says that everytime he's near Yennefer, he says more in five minutes than he does in weeks, and he always regrets it. The two fall silent and Geralt tells her that the dwarfs found a shorter path to find the dragon, Yennefer replies saying she can take care of herself to which Geralt tells her that she doesn't always have to. After a minute of silence he offers for her to come with him, to which she does.

After defeating the dwarfs and the reavears, Geralt and Yennefer sit down with Villentretenmerth and Yennefer finds out that the only reason she's feeling this way inside is because of the Djinn. Geralt denies, saying what was between them was real, however Yennefer says that there's no way they could know. She then gets up and the two have an argument, which leads to both of their hearts getting broken as Villentretenmerth reveals that Yennefer would never regain her womb, and while Geralt didn't want to lose her, he would. Yennefer replies that Geralt already has before leaving.
