Both Unwanted Daughters
Yennefer x Renfri. Rated mature for references to Renfri’s past.
Here is what I imagine would have happened if Yen came to Blaviken instead of Geralt.
—-
Yennefer pretends she does not sense the wild woman in the smoky tavern approaching her. But she does. She has no choice.
The woman’s chaos is like frenzied sparks broken free of a wildfire. The warmth skitters across Yennefer’s skin. She has to focus to prevent herself from visibly reacting to it.
When she raises her eyes and gets a real, proper look at the woman, she reacts anyways, with a sharp intake of breath.
Yennefer has grown inured to beauty. In her world, beauty is an object created for display. It is one tool among many, used to impress and manipulate people. After decades of attending lavish parties with caviar illusions, false white smiles, and finery created with the burnished skin of endangered species, she has forgotten what it feels like to be awestruck by beauty.
Actual beauty.
Beauty that does not exist to be observed. Beauty that roars to life, streaked with dirt and clad in audacity, and sinks its claws into your flesh.
The woman swaggers closer still, her scabbard slapping softly against her hips. The way she moves suggests that her slight, gently curvaceous body is far more powerful than it looks. The table full of craven thugs she has just left in the corner studiously avert their eyes.
“Madam Yennefer of Vengerberg.” Her eyes glitter with a mocking humor. She bows so low that her honey brown curls tumble forward, momentarily obscuring her face.
“What do you want?” Yennefer demands sharply, pretending to be very interested in her cup of wine.
It isn’t true that Yennefer feels nothing in the face of beauty. Dangerous beauty. Ungovernable beauty.
She feels plenty. She feels irritated.
“Well.” The woman smirks and leans rakishly against the bar. “I love a girl who gets right to the point. My name is—“
“Princess Renfri of Creyden.”
Princess Renfri’s eyebrows shoot up. She is surprised, but pleased. “How did you know?”
“I know about every political intrigue that happens in the North.”
Bitterness briefly clouds Renfri’s face. “Is that what it is called in your world when a man rapes you and tries to kill you?” She aims a scornful glance at the sorceress. “Political intrigue?”
Yennefer cannot help it. She snorts. She is not given to snorting. But it is so childishly naive and stupid.
“Just barely.”
“What the shit is that supposed to mean?”
Yennefer shrugs. “You are not a proper heir. So, I would call it minor political intrigue.” She waves her hand casually. “And you only qualify as that much because in recent years, the exploits of Meve and Calanthe have convinced a few powerful men to pay more attention to disaffected little girls.”
Renfri does not like disaffected little girls and her eyes blaze. But Yennefer pretends not to notice.
“Your situation is worth, at most, a mention near the end of a meeting, just when things are wrapping up and people try to cram in the smaller matters that do not actually warrant conversation.”
Renfri’s face hardens. Her body bunches up and her anger is raw. It infects the flavor, there is no better way to describe it, of her chaos. It tastes exactly like the thing that she is—-an unwanted daughter with a weeping infected wound. It is too familiar. Yennefer feels it like a stab to her soft fleshy underbelly and she has to harden herself to mirror the anger she sees in the princess.
“And who the fuck are you to speak that way about me?” Renfri demands.
Yennefer spins on her stool and looks at her defiantly. “Even less. If you are minor political intrigue, then I am what minor political intrigue shits out. Unlike you, I have never had a throne to lose. Unlike you, I have nothing to reclaim. There is no greatness awaiting me with open arms. I was born into pig shit and thrown out with the refuse. How dare you ask me for anything?”
Yennefer can feel heat creeping into her voice, so she stops abruptly and turns back towards the bar again.
Renfri blinks, clearly taken aback. Clearly considering the twist the conversation has taken. Yennefer drinks her wine. She nods at the bartender to indicate that she is finished with her plate.
“I misjudged you.”
Yennefer ignores her. She is still trying to stifle the emotion that sent the heat into her voice.
Renfri stands and watches her in silence. It should feel awkward. Dishware clinks and men sit at tables telling foul jokes. And Renfri is silent.
Yet it isn’t awkward. Once Yen is calmer she feels a tinge of regret. Her anger is misplaced. Misdirected. Renfri hasn’t done anything wrong.
“Wait,” Renfri says, breaking the silence. She has just thought to ask something. “How did you know I was her? You’ve heard the stories. But how did you connect them to me?”
Yennefer glances over and looks her up and down. “Only a Princess would be so utterly, comically shit at tailoring the clothes she stole off an oversized thug.”
Renfri chuckles. Her shoulders have loosened now. She thinks they are on the same side. That is dangerous. They are not on the same side.
“You lie like a fox, Lady Yennefer. I look dashing.” She pulls down her vest and pats her hips as though to make sure everything is still there.
Despite her best efforts, Yennefer’s eyes follow the movement of her hands, lingering just a precious beat too long on her waist. On the spot where it swells elegantly into her hips. Renfri’s lips curl into a smug smile.
Yennefer yanks her eyes away but Renfri has smelled the blood in the water. She leans against the bar, sliding closer, until Yennefer is forced to look directly at her again.
“So that is how you knew I was a princess? I look like utter shit?” Her voice is sing song and mocking.
Yennefer rolls her eyes. “That and the squad of goons at the table who obviously defer to you. What other wild woman roams the countryside looking deranged and commanding an assortment of idiots with clubs and daggers?”
Renfri laughs again. It is throaty and self assured. There is nothing calculated about it. No wonder they fucking hated her at court.
“Now that you have confirmation that I am a princess, are you intrigued, Lady Yennefer?” Her eyes slide from Yennefer’s face down her neck. She wets her lower lip. “Tell me. Have you ever wanted to bed a princess? In your very long life?”
Yennefer purses her lips and ignores Renfri’s attempt to goad her about her age. “Just tell me what you want. I don’t have time for games.”
The smile does not leave Renfri’s lips but she grows serious. “Alright. I need your help.”
“That’s better. I prefer honesty.”
Renfri laughs. “I was being honest. I would kill to make those enchanting violet eyes flutter closed in ecstasy-“
Yennefer holds up her hand. “Stop. Just tell me what you want so I can tell you no, and so you can leave me in peace, disgraced, feral, exiled Princess Renfri of Creyden.”
Just as she did not respond to Renfri’s attempt to goad her, Renfri manages not to take the bait.
“Fine,” she responds. She lowers her voice and scoots closer still. Yennefer can no longer see her cup of wine because her entire view of the bar is blocked by Renfri. She turns the full force of her doe eyes on Yennefer. They are light honey brown like her hair, shot through with green.
“You are in town to meet with Stregobor. And I want to kill him.”
Yennefer blanches.
“That frightens you?”
Yen carefully returns her expression neutral. She thinks quickly.
She is there to meet Stregobor because after twenty years of clawing and scraping and scheming, she is finally on the precipice of being appointed to the Council. Stregobor, who has always disdained her, but who she has thoroughly outmaneuvered, is her final hurdle to being seated on the council.
It is a done deal. A formality. But Yennefer is wise enough to know that done deals can unravel at the last possible moment.
She cannot afford to go into this meeting ignorant of a crime Stregobor has committed. She must know what his vulnerabilities are. Who his enemies are.
Whatever the contemptible, awful little toad has done to Renfri, Yen can use that information to curry favor with him. Or to manipulate him. Or to blackmail him. She doesn’t know yet. But information is power. And the fact that she doesn’t know why Renfri of Creyden wants to kill him is an unacceptable, even shocking, lapse in information and power.
She must get the princess to share. To speak freely. She must make sure her appointment goes off without a hitch. So, Yen goads her again, but hopefully in a less obvious way this time.
“Not frightened. Just surprised. Stregobor is so respectable. So highly regarded. It simply surprises me that he could have done something to deserve death.”
“Liar.”
She speaks the word as though it is real. But she seems amused. Like Yen’s lie is a joke they are both in on.
“What did he do?” Yen repeats.
Renfri casts her eyes down, then looks up fetchingly.“I will tell you, but it will take some time.”
Yen leans forward as though she is telling her a secret. They are so close now that she can feel Renfri’s breath on her. “I have time. I don’t meet him until tomorrow.”
Renfri considers for a moment. “May I join you for dinner? In the private luxury suite you have no doubt rented for the week?”
It is both the worst and the best idea that Yennefer has heard in ages. It is a dangerous game being seen with a woman who wants to kill the man with final approval for her appointment to the council. But she can use any information she gains to her advantage.
Any desire, any deep burning want she feels for the princess is entirely incidental.
“Shall I change into court attire?” she teases. I have never had a private dinner with a princess.
Renfri smiles and drags a finger down a lock of Yennefer’s hair. She watches the soft, shiny lock slide between her fingers. “Actually, the less attire the better.”
She barely has to move. It is just a subtle lean.
And they are kissing.
——
I have been dreaming of writing this fic for probably the past year and a half. Then I heard The Calling, off of The Amazing Devil’s Ruin album. And I thought oh. This is Yen and Renfri. And I started writing.
I will probably work on it here and there until it is done. But since I know it is really almost exclusively for me (not many Yenfri readers) I will take my time. But I’m putting my whole heart into it.

are there any songs that you have come to associate with you fics?
also i love mumbo and rens dynamic in ttsbc sm lmao
Yes! I posted awhile ago with songs that I associated with each ship in TTSBC, but as far as anything new...for TT I listen to a lot of Amazing Devil and Crane Wives for that angsty wistful vibe...especially 'Welly Boots' and 'Ruin' come to mind! I also listen to Studio Ghibli OST's a lot, especially the recent Orchestral versions that Joe Hisaishi released more recently!
For TT though it's pretty easy to tell what I'm listening too considering I use song lyrics for all the titles. 😆
I'm so glad you love Ren and Mumbo's dynamic! After the start of season 10 and wet cat reaper Ren I just had to make sure that came through!

AO3 tags for witcher fics are gonna be such a mess. We already have fifty canons we cherry-pick from. Now we’ll have different TWN Geralts.
Geraskier fics’ll be “TWN!Jaskier with Book!Geralt with Henry!face only Eskel is alive and looks like the games, and this is my fancast of the Hansa because I need to get in before TWN ruins them…”
but as @roguepyrola said on Twitter, it’ll still be a The Amazing Devil lyric for the title.
TAD lyrics are the thread holding the Geraskier fandom together.

era notes.
literally one of HERO's best eras, you cannot prove me wrong!
despite waiting for so long, fans were present for the album drop and couldn't stop streaming the songs! the music video for the title song racked up an amazing 25 million views in the first 24 hours!
PULL THE TRIGGER dabbles with the synth-wave genre and is aided by footfalls of percussion and atmospheric synths, which is something that the artist never played with but always talked about doing a song with those vibes in mind.
no one expected HERO's hair to be longer than his usual length, but literally, no one complained because it looked fabulous on him! the singer stated that he "wanted to try something new" and ended up liking it so much that he refused to cut it.
HERO admitted that he had so much fun working with other idols in the fic industry and that he's glad he approached them with the idea when, not even two years ago, he was avoiding others like the plague.
PULL THE TRIGGER received a jaw-dropping 13 wins on music shows, which, in the end, wasn't as surprising to ODDITIES as they expected many wins since they knew how popular the song would be as soon as the track list was announced, and after the singer released a highlight medley!
this comeback was really something else, and it really showed how HERO got out of his safety zone to interact more with other idols as well as with his fans. ODDITIES can’t help but hope that he stays that way!
era style.

hey mesa!! looking very intently at your wip titled "rockrose and thistle". i am an amazing devil fan first and a human being second. anything you wanna share from that?
also love to see that the cursed bird au has a working title now. got anything else new from that au?
Hi Rainey!! :D
So Rockrose and Thistle is a Berniegard fic from fe3h and I know you don't go here so I will Provide Context
The Rockrose and the Thistle in question:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Edelgard (red lady) and Bernadetta (purple girl). So just from the colors they're already pretty rockrose and thistle coded but the themes/lyrics of the song is important too!!
Fe3h is a game revolving around a war and it has multiple (4) routes depending on which faction the player sides with. This fic takes place where Edelgard loses ;( whump whump 🎺
As the spearhead of the war, Edie's got a lot of weight on her shoulders. Meanwhile Bernie, the local shut in, has been largely avoiding direct involvement. But as the tides take a turn for the worst, Bernie musters the resolve to stand by her emperor 😤
I really want to lean heavily on the parts in the song where it goes from "I know the kindest thing is to leave you alone" to "I know the kindest thing is to never leave you alone" ;w;
Cursed Bird AU is a pile of paper clippings and conspiracy yarn rn but I'm having fun with it XD the title "Making Noise" is inspired by Hozier's To Noise Making (Sing) as well as a double entendre referring to being vocal, disruptive, or popular. So basically perfect for Grace >;3c
To the uninformed, Cursed Bird AU is my Stray Gods wip where the Idols steadily regain power after the events of the game. Following the ending where Grace punched Athena, the goddess curses her to become a bird monster that can't speak, and therefore can't sing >:0 !!
A resurgence for Idols and insurgence from Athena means higher stakes god conflict!! This also means an expanded cast and one of the developments I like so far is the new Artemis. Name pending but she's blind!! Which I think will make her interactions with Medusa interesting, and also Laelaps will be more than happy to be a guide dog uwu 🦮
The real question is: do you trust her with a bow 🤨
Ask game in question btw

on that tree i'll carve your name for the WIP Game!
(I mean how could I change anything but one of the fics that had a TAD lyrics <3)
Haha why am I not surprised?
on that tree I'll carve your name is a series (so far with only one posted fic plus a tiny ficlet), a Silmarillion modern AU centering mostly on a Russingon QPR. Since you picked it from its title, I'll take the opportunity so talk about why that title, and thus about the backstory!
I love that song a lot (Secret Worlds by The Amazing Devil) and that's kind of the vibe that I was going for with this version of Russingon. They more or less grew up together, they're only about two years apart in age and Fingon had a massive crush on Maedhros as a teen, but they were first best friends. Maedhros was a great help to Fingon when he came out as trans and his father was... not great about it, and Fingon was a good support for Maedhros when he started developing anxiety issues.
Then the Accident happened—Maedhros was driving a (slightly underage) drunk Fingon back from a party and they got into a car accident. Fingon saved Maedhros from bleeding out but no one could save his hand. Fingon himself was only lightly injured, but misunderstandings happened and Maedhros, in the middle of his grief and developing PTSD, convinced himself that it was his fault and that he was bad for Fingon. That led him to pushing him away, and they didn't see each other again for nearly a decade.
I like this dynamic of Maedhros being willing to do absolutely anything for Fingon except what would actually be healthy (communicating). Once they reconnect, Maedhros has had some years of therapy and he's better about it, though his self-worth is still not top-notch.
I don't know if I'll write a full fic about this part of their lives, I think it will mostly be flashbacks and subtext. I have so much background and plot outline for this series and so little written 😭 I spent a lot more time daydreaming about it than actually writing it.

One thing I love about The Amazing Devil's music is the fanfic title potential of pretty much all of their lyrics. Especially for angsty fic. :)

For the writing asks, honestly would love to know your answers for like, 20 of them XD, but very curious on 24 (Thoughts on flashbacks/flashforwards.) and 36 (How do you come up with fic titles? What's the one you're most proud of?)? :3
24. Thoughts on flashbacks/flashforwards.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I love both! And I use them really often in my fics (and in my original writing too). I think the key with both (unless it's something like an epilogue, which is a bit different) is tying them--especially with flashbacks--to a theme and/or event in the current storyline and doing it really clearly and with a structure in mind. That's usually how I try to do it, anyway. I also, as I've progressed in my writing, tend to make them their own separate scene rather than in the middle of another scene unless the flashback is on the shorter side or is made up of little snippets interspersed. With flash forwards (or time skips as I usually call them) I think they're not as scary as people make them out to be :D You just have to be precise. And I'm a big fan of like, time/date cards at the top of scenes that take place over a longer period or involve time skips. People worry a lot about being clever in the body of the story to indicate time has passed, and then it can be unclear to the reader. You already have to work with time passing, might as well be straightforward. But, yes, I'm a fan of both!
36. How do you come up with fic titles? What’s the one you’re most proud of?
I overwhelmingly use either lines from the book/movie/show I'm writing about, song lyrics, or a passage that gets repeated a lot in a fic and/or one from the fic I like a lot.
Tough to pick a fave, but one of my more recent ones I really like was Whispers From the Dead, which is the title of the sequel to my RoTS fix-it that most people know me for, Shoulder the Sky. It's from an Amazing Devil song called Unwanted Animal, and I remember listening to it and being like OH, so I had a good experience coming up with the title so I'm really fond of it!
