Yennskier

Yenskier is the het ship between Yennefer of Vengerberg and Jaskier from The Witcher fandom.

Season 2
REDANIAN INTELLIGENCE

As Yennefer is below the tavern, one of the elves tell her they have to wait for the Sandpiper. He performs every night and when the tavern is empty, they'll meet him. Yennefer hears the sandpiper and smiles as she recognizes the voice as Jaskier's.

As the tavern empties, Yennefer walks up and calls Jaskier "bard". Jaskier turns to her and calls her "witch". He asks what she's doing here and where she crawled out of. Yen answers a sewer and hugs him, much to his confusion. Yen misses the days when he was the worst that she had to worry about and Jaskier decides that he's not having this conversation without a drink. Yen brings up the song he sang, and that Geralt must have done a number on him. Jaskier tries to deny that it's about Geralt, but admits that he wrote it from the heart, a rather broken one. He asks why she's here again, and she say she's here because he's the Sandpiper. Jaskier asks how she knows that, and Yen explains that she picked it up while in hiding. Jaskier remembers that Yen is part elf and says he wouldn't wish being persued on his worst enemy. Which he considers her. She asks why she's helping elves, and he explains that he realized that after the elves, the north will come for anyone they deem other, which includes him. Yen then says that she needs his help as Cahir enters. Jaskier startles in defense, but Yen explains that he's with her. She needs to get to Cintra, and he'll do what he can. But they both smell awful and suggest they both take baths before they leave tonight.

After sneaking onto a ship, Jaskier gives Yen a look, much to her confusion. He asks what happened to her, and she explains that she lost her magic. She tells him to get his gloating, and at one point he would have taken the oppurtunity, but as an artist it's his job to empathize. He'd be scared if he lost his music abilities, the one thing he was put on this continent to do. He didn't know what he would do. Yen says they find a new purpose, a better one. Jaskier says that the one thing he's certain of is that chaos isn't done with Yen, so he tells her, goodbye, goodluck and good riddance. She says the same to him and he leaves the belly of the ship. She then hears the sound of Jaskier yelling and a lute string.

She rushes to the deck of the ship, and looks over the top to see Jaskier's broken lute.

TURN YOUR BACK

As Jaskier is being tortured, Yen enters and pretends to be drunk. She gets close to Jaskier and he tells his torturer that she's his wife and that she has nothing to do with this. The toruturer tells Yen to be wise and leave, but Yen tell him to shut up. He grabs her and Jaskier yells at him to let her go. Yen then uses the alcohol to send the torturers fire back in his face and she and Jaskier are able to escape.

They take a rest and Jaskier asks who that was. Yen asks how she should no, but Jaskier points out that all Mages are trained at the same place. Yen was looking forward to a few more thank you's, and Jaskier says that the mage is after Geralt. Yen asks why, but Jaskier doesn't know and just wants her to conjure up something to warn Geralt, since she owes him that. Yen says that they owe each other, but reminds him that she doesn't have magic. Jaskier says she doesn't get to play damsel in distress, that's his job. She lightly hits him when several men come up behind them. Jaskier puts himself between them and Yen, but she kicks the first one down before they can do anything. They run then split up to divert the men's attention.

Jaskier is sneaking around when he hears a guard discussing how they captured Yen. He looks through a window and sees Yen bound, when she suddenly dissappears. He calls for her, but is caught by the guards.
