UNFAIRLY PUNISHED

Alessia Russo x Reader

Days at the Arsenal WFC Youth Academy can be hard. You know, weeks can get very long until matchday finally comes. However, it seemed as though this week, everyone was on edge. The team was playing Chelsea on Saturday and that got everyone's nerves spiking. As a professional team, you would expect the players to be focused and serious and they are, except for, well... you know... Y/n. She can't deal with the intensity so she's always messing around trying to get out some smiles and she almost always succeeds, that is until coach or skipper get seriously annoyed. Today's victim unfortunately was none other than the Alessia Russo.

It's 9am on a Tuesday morning and everyone is cranky and trying to get things over with. Unfortunately, that wasn't something that would turn off Y/n's chirpy attitude. Chirpy attitudes are okay but Y/n came with an extra dose of mischief. The only thing she could think of to bother her coach was to ''borrow'' his clipboard (which had all of today's practice laid out) that was casually lying on a chair while he was in the toilet. Smiling down at the clipboard she saw Alessia approaching her and the perfect idea popped into her head.

''Hey Y/n.''

''Heyyy Less.'' She greeted, hiding the object behind her back and smiling a tad too much.

''What's up with you?'' the blonde chuckled, totally oblivious.

The pair really got on. They often shared playful banter and loved to hang out with each other. Probably it had something to do with the fact that they stared at each other a little longer than they would anyone else, or he fact that their first instinct was to look for one another when they stepped into a room. It is perhaps because all of these reasons that Y/n loved to tease her and Alessia would never really get mad.

''Nothing much, how are you this morning?''

''Ugh, so tired already and it's not even Wednesday.''

Just then, Y/n heard the toilet flush from the other side of the door and saw the perfect opportunity to set her plan in motion.

''Less, quick. Don't ask. Close your eyes and hold out your hands.'' She blurted quickly.

''Huh? What-''

''Ah ah ah, no questions.''

With a deeps sigh, she reluctantly obeyed. The taller girl quickly left the clipboard in the blonde's hands and made a silent run to the pitch. Just as coach exited the bathroom, Alessia opened her eyes and curiously inspected what was left in her hands.

''Um, Alessia Russo! What do you think you're doing?'' he yelled, snatching the clipboard.

Startled by her coach's shout she turned around and realised the situation she was caught in.

''Oh, no. Sir this is not-'' the blonde's desperate attempts to prove her innocence were in vain as coach was already cranky enough.

''Don't you dare tell me this is not what it is because I am having none of it today. 10 laps for you.''

''But-''

''No buts, and they will be after training.'' At the statement, Alessia's eyes widened knowing she would be far too tired to do them after training. Huffing, she headed for the pitch, frustrated at her friend's antics. As Y/n saw the blonde stomping towards her she smiled triumphantly.

''Aw, why the long face Less?''

''I'm going to kill you. I have to do 10 laps now!'' she complained throwing her hands in the air.

''Oh, no! Bummer.'' Y/n complained back, mocking Alessia in the process.

''And they have to be after training.''

''Well, I did hear you the other day whining about how you wanted to work on your endurance.'' Annoyed the blonde slapped her friend's arm and looked at the ground as they both saw their coach coming into sight. Y/n stared at the girl from her superior height and felt a bit guilty. She bent down her head and whispered into her ear. ''He does seem angry. I'll run them with you.''

At the proposal, Alessia lifted her head and met those brown orbs that always starstruck her. Not needing to say anything else in return she sent her a light hearted smile and instantly, the anger dissipated.

HOW CAN I BE LADY OF THE NIGHT IF ALL I WANT TO DO IS WALK IN THE SUN?

(Ciri’s PoV)

Ciri

How can I be lady of the night if all I want to do is walk in the sun? How? Everything is so confusing right now and it is getting too tiring. Everyone keeps coming after me. All I have known since I was fourteen is running from the light and hiding in the darkness. ''Hide from everyone and everything''. ''Turn yourself invisible''. All I want, is to be able to live in peace. Walk in the plain light of day without the weight of Geralt's cloak over my head and shoulders. I want to run freely across the seashore, bathe in the cold water of a river and gallop through the valleys, all without the constant fear of looking over my shoulders. And I bet Geralt and Yennefer want that too. I yearn for the day they properly smile at each other. Carelessly dancing in front of the fire to one of Jaskier's songs in the middle of the woods. But I know it's not time for that just yet. For now we have to keep fighting. We have to keep running and hiding if I want to be able to stay alive for the time when I am crowned queen. Then, I'll be able to walk in the sun but for now, all I can do... is remain a lady of the night.

MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRLFRIEND

(April’s PoV)

OC + Yenralt

My best friend has a girlfriend, though... I'm not even sure I can call her that. It's complicated. They both have a tough and hard personality, meaning that they are both just as stubborn as each other. Geralt hasn't really been given a chance to be, well, human and Yennefer was never accepted because her looks lacked humanity. The thing is, they've been told their entire lives that they are not supposed, not even allowed to be human, they're meant to be witchers and mages. So it is only natural for two outcasts of society to meet and embark on a journey filled with longing, regret, hope and fear. It is said that God created an elixir and called it Love. However, the Devil couldn't put up with this happiness so he created a poison and called it Love too. Geralt and Yen blur the lines between these two elements. They are stuck in a constant loop of heartache and lust and what they don't see is how it affects those around them like Ciri... or me. As much as it hurts to see them like this, I don't really blame them. They have never been told what love is and they have never been taught how to use it for love is weapon that when wielded can cause unbareable pain.

THE PRINCESS WHO COULD FIGHT

Ciri x OC + Geralt

Ciri was never an ordinary girl - and she knew that - but it wasn't until this moment that she realised just how different she was. She was standing over April, sword in hand. They had been fighting for the past half hour as part of her training. Each day she grew stronger, faster, smarter and today all those capabilities came together. April was panting, lying on the floor, unarmed. Geralt had taught Ciri a few strategies of sword-fighting in order to help her in her battles and those were definitely helping. "Holy shit Ciri! That was incredible! Record time I think." But Ciri wasn't listening. Instead, she was thinking back to all the times she had been taught to stay quiet, sit like a lady, act like a princess. She thought back to all the times she had been told to stay away from the armory room and now... now she was standing over her best friend with the blade of her wooden sword kissing her neck. Sure, her grandmother was a queen and a warrior, but she wouldn't even let the girl out of the castle. Now, the man who had become her father figure over the past few weeks, was watching them closely with a proud smile plastered on his face. She was finally the princess who could fight. She was free.

PARENTING

Witcher family + Yenralt + Ciri x OC

"I just don't understand why you won't let me go for a simple walk." Ciri complained once more. She had been arguing with Geralt and Yennefer for quite some time because they wouldn't let her take a harmless walk around the town they were settling in for the day.

"Ciri we already told you, we don't know if it's safe out there." Yennefer repeated once more.

"You let Jaskier out and he's much easier to kill than me."

"Jaskier's a bard but you do have a point." Geralt intervened. "You're still not going."

Ciri huffed and slumped down on her bed. They had been travelling for five days and all she had seen were trees and bushes. She wanted to take advantage now that they had stopped by a small village to have a little wander. An idea popped into her head. "What if... I wasn't alone." Those words made both adults snap their heads back to the girl.

"Uhm, well..." they both stuttered. Truth is neither of them wanted to go out, to avoid being recognized. Soon Ciri noticed their struggle and decided to help them.

"April can come with me."

"HUH!?" said woman poked her head through the door.

"She's a great fighter, you both trust her, I'm safe and you two can have some alone time." The couple widened their eyes at the last comment. "What? You really think I don't know what you do or want to do when neither Jaskier nor I are around? Geralt your thoughts are sometimes a bit too loud." The man blushed a deep shade of red and looked away. "And Yennefer don't even get me started on your thoughts about Geralt's-"

"Okay, fine! We get it." she stopped her before she could embarrass them even more. "You've made your point," Yen sighed, "If we let you go, do you promise to stick to April's side and do everything she tells you to?" Ciri nodded but Geralt needed more assurance since this wasn't the first time she ignored his orders and almost got herself killed.

"That means that if she says run, you run. If she says hide, you hide. If she says get to-"

"Roach, I get to Roach. Yeah, I know. I promise I'll be good." she interrupted making puppy eyes. The pair took one last look at each other and sighed in defeat.

"Fine."

The girl squealed in excitement and hurried over to hug them both. "Thank you." She grabbed her daggers, since Geralt still didn't let her have a proper sword, and rushed out of the room grabbing April by the arm and basically dragging her out of the little house. Once alone, Geralt turned to Yennefer with his signature smirk. "So, what do you think about my... whatever she was talking about?"

"Shut up." she chuckled and kissed him, making him fall down with her on their bed.
