Geralt/Yennefer refers to the canonical het pairing of Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg in The Witcher fandom.
Canon
Geralt and Yennefer canonically have a tumultuous, on-again, off-again relationship.
Fanon
Their relationship is a core staple of canon across the different adaptions, and has always had a solid place in fandom. In 2018, their ships was the largest one.[1] After the Netflix adaption came out, Geralt/Jaskier overtook them as the Juggernaut Ship, and they became the second most popular ship.
Ship War
There's virtually no ship war between shippers of Geralt/Yennefer and Geralt/Jaskier. There is instead a thriving OT3 of Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer.

- Pegging: Yennefer pegs Geralt, somewhat based on the throwaway line in the books about her owning a troll phallus.[3]
