Yennefer was ALWAYS my favourite character from an entire Witcher franchise and easily my favourite character from any fictional story. I drew her, sketched her, wrote about her obsessively since I first read the Witcher in 2013.
Let's give it a try and gather all of the Yennefer pieces and sketches I ever did, because I had a Witcher brainrot for many, many years. Spoler alert: all of my Yens are totally different!
This one from 2014 was probably inspired by the The Bounds of Reason.
The one that was inspired by the very first Yennefer render from CDProjektRed.
The weird one. I don't really like her.
2015! The Shard of Ice Yennefer:
Don't have much to say about this one either, I guess it was an experiment.
The one I don't remember drawing. Somehow I predicted the Netflix!Yen having these exact eyeshadows.
Oh I love this one! This is a mix of game!Yen and book!Yen:
The next one is pure game!Yennefer, even though I never liked her in-game design (especially the bangs, the small nose and the lips):
Basically, this is how I saw it: game!Yen meeting the book!Yen.
Late 2015/early 2016 traditional sketches (yes, the second one is Yen from the Hexer):
THE FAVOURITE ONE. I haven't watched Farscape until 2018 and when I first saw Claudia Black I GASPED, because to me she looked exactly like this Yen version I drew back in 2016 and still is madly in love with.
Apparently there was an infinished second piece of this exact Yen design but I never posted the high resolution of it which is kinda sad.
2017! I saw early game!Yen designs and did a sketchy portrait of her. And then I decided to make the second version with the book!Yen:
Finally, Yennefer from 2022 (original sketch and the colored sketch). This design seems the most book accurate to me, but I still love all the previous ones I did (except the weird one, she is creepy).
And the last, but not the least: my own Thanedd ball outfit for Netflix!Yen, portrayed by Anya Chalotra.
And a small bonus! The very first Yennefer sketch I ever did (2013!)
A/N: I just had to write for one of our favorite ladies! Otherwise I would feel like a bad bisexual lol. Hope you all like our lovely and slightly possessive Yennefer. (And yes I am still sick. RIP me)

Summary: Yennefer always worries about you so she’s adamant about helping you when you fall ill.
_______________________
Usually, Yennefer didn’t like you visiting her at work in the kingdom, opting instead to portal to you wherever you were. However, when she found out that you had suddenly fallen Ill rather she brought you back with her right away so she could keep a close eye on your condition. She had settled you in her own room in the tower, private and away from all the political unrest downstairs.
“It's not that bad, Yen… I swear,” you mumbled as you weakly went to shoo her hand away. Your fever had overtaken you late last night and just sapped everything out of you. Your body was warm, sweaty, weak, and just having a bad time through and through.
“Y/n, if you’re going to argue that, you have to be able to see only one of me first,” She said with a small smile as she felt your forehead, ignoring your waving hand.
“I can see one… and a half…” you said, closing your eyes and sighing tiredly. “I’m just tired, I’ve been too warm to sleep lately.”
“I know, my Love….” Her long delicate fingers, wonderfully cool against your skin, traced up and down your arm and shoulder. “I'm gonna get something set up to help you, okay? Try to rest for a few more minutes….” She instructed and pressed a quick kiss against your forehead before standing up to start putting things together.
Your mind let you fade into a light sleep while Yennefer worked quietly and made sure no one in the entire castle could bother you, not even the king himself. After about an hour though you woke up again, your sheets sticking uncomfortably to your skin and your throat aching for water.
“Yen..?” you called out as you sat up, looking around the ornately decorated room. When no one responded you slowly put your legs over the edge of the bed and got yourself up, your sleep giving you a bit of a second wind. You stood in front of the window for a minute, letting the breeze cool your naked skin as you let out a soft sigh of relief.
“Y/N?” You heard Yennefer call from the adjoining bathroom, “come on in, I’m just finished.”
Your quiet feet padded over towards the bathroom and peeked inside. There you saw Yennefer leaning over the copper bathtub, pouring a bottle of dark purple liquid into it that swirled and mixed with the water inside.
“Yen, I don’t know if I’m cooled off enough for a hot bath…” You said trepidatiously as you entered, but if she thought it was best you figured you could at least try it….
The smile that graced her expression held a small amount of mischief as she took in your naked form coming closer. “Mmm, My Lovesome Y/N…” she hummed out happily, taking your wrist in a subtly possessive manner just to keep you close. “Don’t you worry, It’s a cool bath. I also added something that should help break your fever and hopefully make you feel better by the end of the day”
Her fingers swirled lazily in the water, further mixing in the potion and inviting you inside, not that you need much of an invitation. You took her hand for stability and stepped inside, sinking into the cool water as it slowly rose towards the brim.
You couldn’t help but let out a breathy moan as relief flooded your senses, the cool water combined with the slight bubbly feeling the potion provided left your body’s tension slipping away. “Oh, Yen…” You breathed and looked over at her, your head leaning on the edge of the tub.
Her mischievous but loving smile grew as she watched you, “Don’t go saying my name like that, Love, or I’m only gonna wind up heating you up again…” She spoke with a low voice and fished your hand out of the tub to press it against her cheek. “I’m glad you’re feeling better. I was beginning to grow worried…”
Your thumb stroked over her cheek in delicate wet streaks as an easy smile came over you. “I know, Dear. You always worry.” a light laugh rippled through you, but Yen’s expression didn’t change.
“Yen…” you sighed and she leaned further into your touch, avoiding the conversation. “I know you’re worried, and it doesn't help that you’ve been busier than usual the last few days, but I’m still here and so are you and I know that with you everything is going to be just fine…” You smiled a bit, turning her face to look more directly at you.
Yen bit her lip as your words permeated, her shoulders loosening to an actually relaxed state.”You know how I like those sappy words…” She commented and set your hand down to get up and move to a spot just behind you. “I love you Y/N…” She whispered into your ear, afraid to let the world hear her- lest it decides to take you away.
Her hands lovingly ran over your shoulders, fingers pressing and smoothing over your skin with a confident touch. “Now let me take care of you for a little while. We’ll cool you down, and then we can see about wearing you out for another nap,” she whispered again, her confident and wanting personality coming back from its pause of vulnerability. And as her hands now ran down your chest and into the cool water with you, you began to feel warm all over again.
