Supreme Support Reader Part 2

Sorry for being away so long, just life in general hit me. Anyways, heres part two. It doesn’t have much correlation with part 1 in terms of story so you can just read this first. Enjoy! 

Oh yeah. Warnings: Yandere

Word Count: 5500

Part 2 of the Supreme Support Reader. Basically the reader has the supernatural or divine power of making anyone happy and destroying their negative emotions. It’s a passive ability which can get stronger based on certain things like activities and distance.

 For example, its effect is way stronger if the reader is physically touching someone or if they’re giving direct compliments instead of just being close or talking to them. Someone looking at you brings them happiness and all but it’s even stronger if they are hugging you or  doing uhhh, things that are a bit more naughty. Well, for those that tried putting in some effort in trying to make it not obvious.

The effect of this is either a direct result from darling being in Sagau where they have it because of their divinity aura, or just because they were born with it or given to them if they were isekai’d into Genshin. 

It’s not like a drug that gives artificial happiness, no, you give true and pure happiness to those around you, the kind of happiness that is warm and beautiful.

An indirect result of this is the characters experiencing the effect and feeling would become infatuated with the reader, which would most likely lead to them being yanderes. 

Once someone feels the effect darling has on them, it's over. Similar to how one would feel after seeing an oasis in the desert after days of dehydration might feel, an primordial urge to claim would awaken within them, especially characters with deep hidden trauma.

When those trauma and insecurities are dug out and erased, it's gonna be filled with an intense emotion of love and obsession for you. 

Beidou would be back from a journey from the seas, the fleet filled with treasures, trophies of battles she fought, stories to tell and so much more. Maybe she met you tending to your humble little shop like the flowers or simply just something normal like just going and enjoying a nice walk but either way, with how familiar Liyue is to Beidou, meeting you is a matter of when and not if.

She would walk confidently with a brilliant smile on her face as she took in the scenery of Liyue Harbour before her gaze caught onto you, an ethereal like beauty tending to their own business. 

Her smile would falter and her lips close out of nervousness before she would carefully make her way towards you, almost as if she was scared that you were going to be startled by her and run away. 

You lift your head and instantly recognize her. It was Beidou, the Captain of the Crux Fleet and one of your favourite characters in the game! How could you not recognize her? 

A gentle and cheerful smile would be given to her alongside a quick wave. Beidou could almost hear her heart pounding by this point as her mind went into haywire just…staring at you. She would somehow manage to pull herself together and quickly give a simple greeting and ask about you, which you would reciprocate with a slight bow and introduce your products like the flowers you grew.

You would run over to Beidou’s side with a small pot of flowers you picked out in hand and bring it to Beidou. “The shade of these flowers matches your dress and would look nicely anywhere on you, especially on your hair. Of course any flower would look great on you, but I think these ones are the best. Would you like to buy some?”

Staring into your beautiful eyes and with your figure close enough that if she were to just extend and wrap her arms around, you would be in her embrace. Her mouth dry as your faint scent flowed into her nose, her pupils dilating instantly. She brought both shaky hands onto the reddish clay pot you were holding, nearly gasping as her fingers felt the touch of yours.

“...I would love that…” 

Beidou would stick onto you from then on, practically locking you in place with her grip that always seemed a bit too tight for your relatively weak body. You had originally wanted to tell her to not do that seeing as it was a bit too close for your likings, but seeing her bright smile as well as her “innocent” character, you found it simply too awkward for that. After a while, you grew accustomed to the tightness and even began to feel rather comforted by it.

No matter where you were, whether it be from picking apples and berries in the outskirts of Liyue or simply just taking a stroll in the streets of Liyue on a nice day, Beidou would always somehow coincidentally bump into you. Does Beidou usually go out at this time, and here at the flower shop of all places? Or even out in the wilderness, far from her ship and crew, right next to you?

You would be a bit confused at this. A thought did cross your mind once but it was brushed off like a small speck of dust without a second of you entertaining it. It was too ridiculous, you would never entertain a thought as absurd as the Beidou, Hero of the Seas and Captain of the Crux would fall for you. Not only fall for you, but would purposely find out your daily schedule and stalk you. That would be just ridiculous. Hahaha

Beidou’s familiar and joyous laugh sounded next to you as well before she slung one of her arms over your neck and pulled you close. This had startled you before in the past, but now it was a common occurrence, happening seemingly anytime you go out. 

You did find it a bit strange, but it wasn’t too uncomfortable or anything so you decided to attribute it to Beidou’s very friendly personality and even grew fond of it, enjoying the rest of the day where you and her would go around Liyue to enjoy all kinds of things you wouldn’t have known if Beidou hadn’t introduced it to you.

Eventually without you knowing, her presence had become a daily part of your life and you started to learn more and more about her in detail. The game covered a lot of the important parts, but there are still many more nuanced parts that only close friends would know, and she started to learn more about you as well along the way. 

The more you learned about her, the closer you got to her and felt more and more comfortable near her, while she fell deeper and deeper in love the more she learned about you. 

Whilst you have progressed from seeing her as an idol to a close friend, she has progressed from seeing you as a lifelong lover to her wife. While you two are out in public, any other suitors wouldn’t be granted a chance in getting close to you, not when Beidou’s strength which is strong enough to behead sea monsters would be directed at them. 

Well, not that is much of a deterrent to people like Beidou who has already felt your effect on them, but Beidou’s sheer strength alone bought her more time to court you by beating the others bedridden behind your back. 

Thankfully for her none of them were people with visions or powerful people which really helped with hiding what she has been doing behind your back.

As your peaceful days would continue, you would sooner or later visit the Crux and her private chambers by her request and give compliments on it, talking about how lovely and exciting it must be to live there. 

Beidou’s large figure would sneak up behind you and snake her arms over your waist, pulling you closer. This was something that you had relatively gotten used to after a while, but it feels a bit off today for some reason. 

“Yes, it really is lovely. But, it gets lonely sometimes…” Her voice trailed off, loving how you flinched and shook as she whispered gently behind your ear. “So…I’ve decided to fix that. With you…”

Before you could ask what she meant, the anchor had already been pulled, and the ship was heading out into the seas as the wind picked up. It wasn’t anything unusual, really. The Crux always goes out for periods of time into the sea for adventure, and wouldn’t come back for quite some time. 

It wasn’t too long, or too short. But it was enough time for Beidou to thoroughly convince you to be hers…

Or maybe it was Beidou that had been chosen by fate to be the catalyst, maybe it had been someone else.

Maybe it was someone who desperately needed love and affection in their life from all the hate and pain they had experienced. 

Eula grew up in a clan that highly advocated bloodline purity and an aristocratic image due to their clan’s history of ruling Mondstadt. Many things would come of this that would affect Eula negatively. 

Due to the high standard that she was met with, she was always pressured into performing to the unreasonably high standard that aristocrats would expect by her family, of which she never received actual affection from due to the cold and robotic way of life their clan upheld.

From the rigorous etiquette training she would receive as a child, the cold aristocratic manner had been imprinted on her, making the situation with the citizens of Mondstadt even worse. 

The children of the Lawrence clan were not allowed to indulge in any “childish” games and were instead forced to do productive things like swordsmanship and noble practices, leading to none of the children in the clan making friends with each other.

Adding onto the fact that the parents of Mondstadt would quickly call their children away when Eula was near and warn them about her, she never had anyone to call a friend. It would stay like from when she was a young little girl to a tall, proud young lady. Well, until she met you.

Looking at the cold and dim stare Eula had on her face as she tread the streets of Mondstadt would give anyone an instinctive chill and the urge to back away. But, you knew why she was like that. You read her backstory, listened to all her dialogues, and played all the events with her in it. 

Eula wasn’t a bad person, all she needs is a bit of affection and understanding to be friends with her.

She wasn’t someone like the Lawrence clan that would chain and lock someone up for their own needs, right?

And so, you would go and greet her cheerfully with a smile. That was the first ever positive greeting from someone in her life, and the sound of the chain around her heart cracking resounded.

Although Eula would act like she was suspicious of you, it was actually just her being confused as to why you were being so nice to her. As much as she would act rather coldly with her oaths of vengeance, it really wasn’t all that of an issue with you. Not when she was visibly happy that you did something nice for her.

The two of you grew closer rapidly. Eula never had any friends and family that she can call loving. It was only now that she had experienced true affection in her life, the effect of which is multiplied by the warmth and comfort your divine aura gave.

Eula rarely went around Mondstadt in public, especially where there were many people. The collective stares of fear and unease given to her was something that had always been a thorn in her side throughout her life.

But ever since meeting you, it didn’t seem to matter. You who would always carry a kind smile on your face would grab her hands and take her all around the city to places she had never been to before.

The Good Hunters for food, the Cat’s Tail for drinks, and so much more. No one dared say anything bad to her when you were around, making sure everyone knows that Eula was a great friend of yours.

It was throughout this period of time in public did Eula discover a hidden change regarding.

The stares…

The stares people give still affect her, but a far cry from the original way it did. She no longer cared of how the citizens of Mondstadt stared at her, but she did when they stared at you.

Anger would flare up inside of her as Eula saw how people would stare at you and look at all parts of your body. 

However, the part she hates the most is the looks of confusion they have for you. Why are you with a Lawrence clan member? Don’t you know what her family is like?

Eula hates this the most. After so long without love, she has finally met you and received it. So who are they to question why you are with her?! 

She would painfully admit it in her heart that she isn’t worthy of you, but so what? You are beloved by everyone in Mondstadt, everyone, including her. Since everyone likes you, then what makes them worthy of you.

If no one is worthy of you, then it doesn’t matter if it's Eula who is the one who gets to be by your side.

Your aura has melted away the years of pent up stress she has in just a short amount of time. But, there are deep lodged parts within her heart that need a little more power to properly clean it. It could be from anything that triggers the boiling point, in fact, just a simple compliment would be enough.

One day, you and Eula had decided to meet up at Windrise to play some games. You two would usually go together, but Eula had to sort some stuff out at home first and then come so she went alone at a later hour.

She would receive so many stares as she made her way to the city gates, eager to meet up with you outside. This would be stopped by one of your suitors would gather up enough courage to halt her.

“Hey! We see that you’ve been getting close to Yn recently, what are you trying to pull?” They would question loudly, drawing the attention of the passerby. You were popular in Mondstadt with your gentle and bright personality, always ready to lend a helping hand.

A pair of cold eyes would stare back at them as she replied coldly. “...What are you trying to say?”

“What we are saying is that you need to back away from them.” The suitor would state as a matter of fact. “Y/n always lends a helping hand to people no matter what. We don’t need a Lawrence to come and take advantage of their kindness and hurt them.”

At this point, Eula and the suitor would argue back and forth, losing miserably and leaving with a huff when all of the audience would be on the suitor’s side and tell her off.

You would meet Eula later at the lake and obviously ask her about what happened to make her so upset but it would always be brushed off one way or another. This led to an awkward silence in which you two didn’t make eye contact and just stood there motionlessly. Well, until Eula glanced up towards you, not making eye contact, and slowly spoke with hesitance.

“...hey, Yn?”

“...oh! Yeah, what’s up?”

“Why…do you treat me so nicely?” Eula would speak, her voice trailing off as tears threatened to fall out. “I’m a…Lawrence…the family of the tyrant of Mondstadt. Shouldn't you…hate me?”

You were a bit stunned at her question as a dumbfounded expression was plastered over your face, but your usual thin smile would come back on. With a small chuckle, you leaned forward and pulled Eula into your arms, embracing her gently and letting the warmth of your body envelope her, greatly to her surprise.

“You are a Lawrence, family of tyrants and all that, true. But, ” You stopped briefly. “You are also my Eula, someone I love and care for deeply.”

You held her face in both your palm, rubbing the tears away from her cheeks and eyes and staring in her eyes with great clarity and strength. 

“I’m not afraid of you, silly. I love you!” You spoke with a laugh, closing your eyes in the process and not seeing the expression on Eula’s face. It was as though the Raiden Shogun herself had struck her with lightning. 

You pulled her head against your neck and snuggled up against her. Things like this had happened before in the past. Whenever Eula was upset at something, you would always hold her like this and wait until she was alright again! 

Eula’s beautiful eyes that seemed to hold the morning sun were still wide open, even as your aura was currently healing her mind and soul rapidly, the words from earlier made it impossible for her to react to it. 

I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!

Your voice repeated your words thousands of times inside Eula’s head, echoing as though it was in the deepest parts of the Chasm.

Her arms slowly wrapped around you tightly, pulling you tightly as though you were her anchor in this world. Her face still in your neck, Eula closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, intoxicating herself. 

“Mine…Yn belongs to me.” Her voice whispered quietly.

Eula brought you over to her family manor one day, something that you never expected to happen with how much she despises her lineage. It moved you a lot, since Eula was actually willing to not hide, but show you the details of her life.

She would guide and take you everywhere in her home, from her study areas to the training areas, and even the ball room for dancing. It was really interesting and fun to learn more and more about her, especially when she has been so secretive and quiet about her personal life.

Finally, she brought you to her room. It was very formal and neat without much recreational things like art equipment but it did have a lot training equipment like wooden swords and dummies.

As you were in awe of all the different things in the room, you failed to catch the nervous look on Eula’s face. Her head down with a guilty expression, Eula looked to be in deep thought. Eventually, she grabbed on her arm and dug her nails inside, drawing blood. 

“Hey, Yn? Do you want to see something cool? You have to keep it a secret though.” She spoke and went to a nearby bookshelf, feeling an angle of it.

You beamed at her, which she kept her head down didn’t meet your gaze. “What is it? I'll keep it a secret, show me!” 

Eula gestured for you to come closer and she pressed against the wall, which rotated and brought inside the hidden room.

The room was very well cleaned and…decorated? The room was filled to the brim, and everything a room needs was there, lined up nicely. A large bed, a wooden table, a beautiful chandelier, a bookshelf, a cabinet, everything was there.

It was so neat! There was just more and more you can find when looking around. Several landscape paintings, make up, posters, clocks, and…chains? And..handcuffs, rope, and…tape?

A husky whisper would sound behind you and Eula’s cold embrace wrapped around your body. Her hands firmly around your wrist and the entire outline of her front was felt on your back.

“This is a hidden room within my room. I discovered it by accident when I was younger, and not even my parents know about it.”

Eula gave your ear a small bite, loving the way your body struggles against hers.

“E-Eula, w-what are you…?” Your voice quivered.

“Be obedient, okay? I don’t want to hurt you, I really don’t.” She spoke, pressing you closer against her and eyeing the thick chains on the bed. “...I love you too, Yn…”

While both Eula and Beidou would take some time to actually muster up the courage to take you for themselves forcefully because they fear your rejection as well as moral conflicts within themselves, Shenhe would be vastly different.

Awakening abruptly from a nightmare from back to her traumatic experiences not too long ago, it was such a contrast in the eyes of Shenhe for her to encounter such a beautiful opportunity right in front of her.

The warmth and comfort that you brought to her by just being there and existing was something that she would have never expected nor believed if not for the fact she is facing you right now. The words of Cloud Retainer would come rushing to her mind, of how one day she’ll encounter someone important to her. That day was today, the day she saw you.

From how mentality detached from human society and culture Shenhe is as well as her upbringing as an exorcist, a career that is already highly detaching from human society, Shenhe would not know how to approach you effectively.

Unlike other suitors who would go and try to familiarise themselves with you directly, Shenhe would stalk and learn more about you one-sidedly by herself. That’s why she would always be where you were, just secretly observing you like a masterpiece of art that needs to be properly cherished and protected.

You would be browsing the local wares and goods at the market and the familiar figure of the silver haired lady would seem to be right there near you. Shenhe was not someone that would visit Liyue so often, and when she did, it would always be in dining areas, and not a market like this.

Out of curiosity and as well as friendliness, you would go and greet her and strike up a conversation. Her opal eyes would widen out of shock when you came up to her, making her subconsciously take a step back as though something that is not supposed to happen had occurred.

 Her eyes shaking and her breaths uneven, this would be the first time you stood so close to her. From how you tread your steps to how the air brushes your hair, Shenhe’s rare emotion of greed would express itself as she internally conflicted as to where her eyes ought to be.

“Oh, uh, did I do something wrong?” You would say to her, just the bit confused over her reaction towards you. 

Hearing no reply from her, you would introduce yourself to her and ask her name, to which you would finally get a reply.

“...Shenhe…” She breathed.

It would go incredibly downhill very fast from there.

Akin to giving a tiger with wings, you freely expressing your goodwill towards Shenhe and allowing her to get close to you was the match thrown into the hay. 

She would be to you as what a shadow would be to its owner; right beside the at all times. 

Shenhe’s direct personality as well as her violent nature would definitely be something that is hard for you to get used to, especially when you have to physically restrain her when other suitors come close to you.

This did bring you some concerns regarding what she would do if she got her hands on them, but with simply how dorky and innocent she is in your eyes, you just chalk it off as your good friend being protective.

The two of you’s friendship would slowly blossom over time and sweeten as you two got to know each other more and more. Stories of the adeptus abode and her youth under Cloud Retainer would be given out by her whilst the admittedly more mundane stories of your daily life would be handed out by you.

It really wasn’t anything interesting to the average person, but Shenhe seemed to treat it as the best thing she has ever heard of in her life. The way your voice flows into her ears makes it sound as though you were truly being alive. When you are calm, your voice is akin to a soft cool breeze , whilst your voice when full of joy and energy is like the warm comforting ray of the sun.

Everything was fine with her. Shenhe had no well defined definition of love and didn’t see a “path” for her to take with you. All she wanted was to be with you, which she already has.

The days continued until she saw something that awoke something deep inside of her. 

Jealousy.

Your smile, which she ahs seen so many times, always seemed to irk her in a strange way whenever it was directed towards someone else. Whether it was just a simple greeting to an acquaintance, an emotion that Shenhe couldn’t fully grasp or understand would appear in her heart.

But this was different.  A suitor bold enough to flirt with you in front Shenhe dared to make you not only smile, but laugh and blush. Once again, right in front of her. 

Shenhe’s eyes glowed an ominous blue and before you know it, her grip would be on your wrist and you would be dragged off with an innocent and concerned expression. The other party would object of course, but her cryo avatar’s hand would’ve already been on their neck, giving Hu Tao something to smile about later on.

As someone who is effectively an adeptus, Shenhe well has her own adeptus abode. Still trying to get an answer out of Shenhe on what is so urgent, the space around you would distort and before you know it, it was already too late.

You are in Shenhe’s palms now.

Shenhe doesn’t use restraints such as rope, chains, or handcuffs. No, any attempt to resist her would be easily dismantled by her titan-like strength and cryo avatars. She truly wonders why you are being so resistant to her, it makes no logical sense to her.

You’ve sincerely befriended each other and built a lasting relationship. In her eyes it was comically simple, she loves and you love her. Therefore, you should always be with her so that she can keep you safe.

But, that’s not what happened. Oh well, things can’t go so smoothly in life right? There’s bound to be complications in everything, so Shenhe didn’t dwell on it too much. She’ll sort the minor details later, the most important at hand has to be solved first.

To make you submit.

Raiden Ei loved her companions greatly, which is why even now, hundreds of years later, the aching loneliness left behind by their passing still persists. Her mind distraught and confused, she gave herself an ultimatum and obsessed with the pursuit of eternity.

Her nation of Inazuma, guarded and raised by both her and her sister, Makoto, as well as her companions was one of the few vital things left to her. It is something that she cannot accept losing, something that has to be safe,

But, history has shown her that the unending stream of time will never stop for anyone and even her friends were washed away by the currents. She cannot guarantee Inazuma;s safety, so she went into seclusion for the pursuit of eternity so that everything she holds dear will always be with her.

Her views of Inazuma and its islands are all present. Though it's not perfect, Ei can see anything she wants within Inazuma and be aware of major events. Only with this can she continue her pursuit of eternity without worry of her precious nation being in danger.

She would be on her periodic survey, giving the lands of Inazuma a simple view to make sure nothing dangerous went unchecked. It was here where it happened.

A glance, a single glance. Not one less or more, just one glance was enough. 

Your image out of the corner of Ei’s sharp amethyst eyes would be enough for her to be bound to your presence. One more glance, just to see you again and try to understand the feeling that it brought about in her heart.

No, two views wasn’t enough. Out of everything in Inazuma, only you were able to catch her cold yet determined heart so easily. You are an exception, an enemy of eternity. It was only her duty to know more about you, right?

Viewing quickly became her main focus in euthymia. It was strange, just watching you do ordinary simple things for hours on end, but the feelings of warmth and comfort it brought to her was indescribable.

Her lonely heart, once plagued by loss, was finally being filled and healed. The cold chamber with a thousand regrets was being melted so easily by you and filled with love and comfort, that she wondered to herself if you were truly real and not a figment of her imagination.

Time flowed by and her viewings of you became even more frequent. The sincere joy in her heart as she watched you sing was something that cannot be described with mere words alone. The joy in her heart as she witnessed you bake was almost as much as eating it.

The cute confused face you made afterwards as you looked around to try and find the few treats went missing was the cherry on top. Surely you don’t mind her taking a few, right? She’ll make it up to you in the future.

Her viewing of you one day was the usual, sitting cross legged whilst hovering above the now warm floor of euthymia and her eyes on the “screen” where your image was being presented. 

You had made your way out of Inazuma city and into one of the villages for some fresh melons. Reaching up into the trees, you picked and filled your basket with the ripe and was about to start your journey back home when a piercing pain shot through your shoulder.

You fell onto your knees, eyes clenched in pain as the figures of 4 rogues made their way towards you, one of them holding a wooden crossbow that had just been fired. 

It was late autumn and the temperatures were sinking by the day, so you wore heavier clothing for warmth. The thick fabric absorbed all the golden blood flowing from the wound, making the rogue oblivious to who they had just shot.

As one of them unsheathed their katana and began to speak about handing over your money and goods, the sky itself turned dark in an instant and purple lightning roared before a figure crashed down before you.

Ei’s eyes met with yours for the first time, and despite the situation, the thought that you looked so much better in person went through her head. Her eyes narrowed and a sharp bloodlust erupted out of her as her eyes met the wooden arrow still lodged inside your shoulder and chest.

She swung her blade once, not even seeing the filth that dared harm you, and they were gone, leaving nothing but a smouldering pile of dark ash.

Your eyes widened in shock and fear as you registered what had happened. You parted your lips to speak but the Shogun had already made her way to you, crouching down and holding your cheeks in her hands.

Regret swelled up in her heart as she gritted her teeth. 

A mistake. She had made a mistake once again. After so long of bearing with the pain in her heart, the burden of pursuing eternity, and enduring the days of loneliness, she has finally found you, Teywat’s blessing to her. 

However, after all that, she had dared allow herself to become complacent with you. She allowed herself to view you freely wandering about the mortal world, not realising the amount of potential danger there was!

She took in your trembling figure and took in your scent, the warmth of your body and intoxication from your scent more than enough to solidify the decision in her heart.

Her friends all perished due to the ever changing outside world. You, who is just a weak mortal, cannot be in such a place. You need to be beside her where she can keep you safe. She needs to protect you. You need to be in euthymia with her forever to be safe.

“E-Ei, I-”

She cradled your body and cooed softly, cutting off your words. “Shhhhh, shhhh. It’s okay, it’s okay. Just come with me,” Her hands ran though your hair, loving the silky texture on her fingers. Her eyes darkened and her voice now oozed possessiveness. “I will keep you safe for all Eternity.”

Supreme Support Reader

Cottage Core, Supreme Support Reader,  basically I was feeling really bad about something in bed, like a lot then I remembered something that made me realise what I was agonising over for the last 20 minutes didn’t happen. The feeling of absolute relief I felt was incredible and as I relaxed in bed I thought about the reader having the divine power of making anyone happy, satisfied, and whatever good emotion they could want.

Like, maybe Xiao is feeling hurt today way more than usual only for him to bump into you accidentally while you're picking berries in the outskirts of Liyue for making jam and a feeling of happiness just flows into him when he is with you. Maybe, well definitely, he would be unable to control himself and goes up to hug you and this sense of unyielding happiness and relief just overwhelms him. It was like every last one of his cells were dying of thirst and hunger for months and a banquet of food and drinks were brought to them.

While Xiao is in sheer bliss, you are just a bit stunned about what happened before turning around and seeing that it’s Xiao, which calms you down. Still a bit confused, but seeing how happy he is and knowing his backstory you decide to just stay there for a bit.

Not just people in constant pain like Xiao react this way, ordinary people that are generally happy and satisfied with their daily lives are not that much better. It’s like something they can’t describe awakened within. It’s like something that was written inside their genes but was never activated. After being with you and having all their negative emotions solved, ones they had subconsciously and they consciously didn’t even know, before then being ubercharged with positive and happy emotions, they cannot go back to how things were before without you.

Ningguang had met you after you opened up a small stall in which you sold products that you made from various homegrown ingredients or stuff you got from foraging. The products were simple like jam from berries, homemade baking products like cookies and cakes, and other things like that. They were simple yet they filled something within the customers. It was like they had an itch they didn’t even know about being scratched as they ate your produce. 

Ningguang had been curious so she went and bought some sweets you made without much expectation as she had already tasted all the finest cuisine in all of-holy fuck how are these so good?! She tried to buy out all the remaining stocks after that which yous topped as its not fair to the other customers. 

Ningguang rather forcefully befriended you after that and you two started hanging out, doing and playing all sorts of simple things for hours on end like reading comic books, playing kids games, things that she would never have done by herself or anyone. The Tianquan’s time is measured in solid gold, something she carefully built a market for, could earn millions of Mora in just an hour or even. And yet, she now feels all the time she had spent earning those same mountains upon mountains of mora not even worth mentioning as she sat by a large tree, you in her arms reading a short story as the cool breeze flew by.

As the sun set and you returned home, so did Ningguang. Her thoughts raced as she thought about all the things you and her were going to do later on tomorrow despite knowing dang well she can’t possibly fit all those activities within even a month of time, much less a day. Ningguang met her frantic assistants at the Harbour, complaining to her about all the things they had to take care because of her absence, but Ningguang could only smile fondly of her memories today. 

She made her way up to the Jade Chamber, and as she had walked into her bedroom, she could only stare at her queen sized bed with an empty look in her eyes. She had prioritised Mora and the Jade Chamber above all else for her entire life but now she suddenly feels the lavish and large abode she lived in was empty and shallow. 

Ningguang clutched the part where her heart was under, treating her fine silken garments with force she never would’ve dreamed of before. Ah, this feeling has returned once again. It had been bearable, she suppose. This feeling had sprouted and quickly grew the moment she had met you. It was a feeling she was quite familiar with, something that was imprinted onto her since childhood.

Greed. This intense feeling grew by the moment and with each day, Ningguang’s fantasies of taking you for herself grew more from a shameful thought to a full out plan. Construction and ordering of all kinds of things for turning her private chambers into the two of you’s home was sent out.

Had that not happened first, it probably won’t happen for a while as whoever first finds you gets you. 

Maybe when Beidou returned to the harbour to celebrate for newest accomplishment, she saw a single glance at you before being completely stunned in place. Her pupils widened and she made her mind up on the spot to have you for herself.

Childe brushes hands with you on the streets before shamelessly going and straight up grabs yours before flirting.

What if you were in another nation, say Inazuma? Ei would go from meditating and thinking about how eternity and all that is great before instantly changing her mind after meeting you for like 5 minutes and forcefully marrying you and making you live in the palace, the puppet Shogun completely agreeing with her decision. No 200 year long duel needed.

Or, if things get really spicy, all of this and more somehow happens. Maybe you were a small merchant living in nature and just around selling things you made, seducing and charming anyone you made semi-contact with. Because of that, powerful people and characters that could influence the world were just silently stepping on each other's shoes under the table and they begrudgingly shared a picnic table with you outside, them not wanting to scare you being the only reason they haven’t pulled out their weapons and activated their visions yet.

Cloud Sea and Gold Blood

First post on Tumblr! Very very inspired by Sagau writers like @nicebonescomrade @crystalizedlegend @veritaoscurata and many many others, thank you all for the great works, and criticism is very welcomed. Do try to enjoy :D

Warning, Slight angst, kind of yandere, Oc, might be a bit bad for people going through existential crisis I think? , might be cringey for some as well lol, tried to be emotional but could be edgy.

‘If your problem can’t be solved with money, then you simply aren’t using enough of it’ That was a line I had once read in a book before, and despite the book’s rather bizarre setting, this is a philosophy I both wholeheartedly agree with and live by, even now to this day. 

Not because I think money can solve all the problems in life of course, rather, it reflects my way of doing things. That is, to simply dedicate everything to one aspect of yourself. 

Ever since I was a young girl, I remember hearing the tales of rich and powerful living out their lives to the fullest. Glorious and romantic stories of adventures, tales of success, all of that tugged at my heart as it did with any other child. Well, honestly speaking, it was the money aspect that made me giddy the most. Stories and myths to me are an ideal. 

A heroic story of adventures represents the author’s ideal for the thrill of exploring the unknown and challenging dangers. A romantic love story overcome with trials and tribulations is one in which the authors wants in their own personal ideal of what is love. It is the very reflection of what they consider to be “perfect”.

I figured out my feelings and learned this at quite the young age, as the romantic stories of the high class such as the Liyue Qixing wrapped me in a deep dark veil of slumber every night. Well, though it may sound vulgar, the most important part of the stories was the “money” aspect. I...don’t consider myself “greedy” by normal comparison, what I meant by the money aspect, I meant the treasures. Gold bars heavier than sacks of rice, gems brighter than the lanterns up in the sky during the Lantern Rites at the harbour, artifacts older than my own nation even, but, it was the “Vision” that I loved the most. Infatuated even.

Not that I wanted the power or anything, no no, I just loved the feel of having those treasures. Think about it, a vision is the very symbol of the heavens and gods recognizing you, imagine all the envy towards an individual with it. 

Humans are very superficial and subjective, and I don’t think that’s anything bad or right, it’s just what we are, and as such, we should alongside it. Which is why I don’t think my feelings are all that wrong either, the simple thrill of things being...special.

To me, it’s something I’ll never give up. Finding a cool-shaped rock and showing it off to people, catching a bigger beetle, catching a better-looking butterfly, dressing up to look unique. I do remember thinking I was simply doing these things because I craved attention and was a narcissist, but no, even when I was alone, I just loved having special things.

Since I always wanted special possessions, I naturally choose a career that’ll help me get it, merchant. Believe it or not, I actually grew up alongside the Tianquan, Ningguang. Back when we were first starting, she would gather up many many shells on the beach to sell, whilst I would gather up the ones I like, the shape, quality, colour, all that. Make no mistake, what she did is completely all right, in fact, she made more money than I did, but you know, this is just how I do things and I don’t regret it. She’s more wealthy for her way, but my goal isn’t money, it’s the simple ideal.

I will not betray my way of life doing things, my way of life. I have felt that I was stubborn, that I was wrong but even then, I endured all those doubts all the way until my way of life paid off.

It had been a pleasant day in the western mountains of Liyue, where Yuyun was busy scaling trying to find even more exotic treasures. She was no amateur at this, nearly a decade of borderline insanity of pursuit for treasures had left her travelling all across Teyvat every waking moment of her day. Setting sail to Inazuma, smuggling texts from Sumeru which she had actually paid the market price for, finding out the existence of wine nearly a century old in Mondstadt. There was even a time when she had planned trying to steal the Holy Lyre, but decided that having her head still on her neck was a bit more important, and she really did mean a bit. 

“Ergh” Yuyun grunted, pulling herself up from the side of the cliff and onto a small ledge. The first she did after her head peaked over, was check to see what she wanted was there. And sure enough, there it was. “He he he, come to mommy~” 

She laughed greedily, mustering up newfound strength, she pulled herself up in one go. A shiny red contraption laced in metal was impeded into the other side. Due to the positioning of the other mountains, it was impossible to see this from the ground. She pulled out a green key and inserted it into the contraption and an audible sound of pegs and gears moving could be heard to her well-trained ears that were used to spy on important figures for information. 

A chunk of ground in front of her opened up and a beautifully decorated treasure chest popped up. Yuyun’s mischievous grin grew even more than how it was already. She felt the texture of the chest and knew instinctively it was a “Luxurious Chest”. Popping it open, she was able to discern the most valuable ones in just one glance, the rest was left int here like scraps even though it would easily sell for a bundle at the market.

“Amazing haul as usual today, though I must say I really did outdo myself this time. As expected of me, haha.” She knew damn well she says that on a regular basis, but who’s to stop her? Finding the location of an ancient temple all by herself with just a few poorly translated notes from ancient times was more than impressive, even more so by the fact she never once did seriously contemplate going home during the entire she slaved away trying to get the treasure.

As she made her way down the mountain, this time easily with a rope, a familiar sound of wings flapping could be heard. An eagle perched itself on her shoulder, a slip of paper attached to his leg. This is a specially trained eagle for quick Ling distance messaging and all info were provided associates that Yuyun has careful selected over the years. “Oh my~ Did some idiot got caught with a scandal again? Too bad I wasn’t able to properly profit on Eula’s uncle cooperating with the Fatui, I really did want to blackmail him for some famed treasures in their household.”

Jumping down onto the ground, she opened up the mail and quickly read through it, many many emotions settling within her. An imposter had shown up in Teyvat, falsely impersonating their beloved Creator. Same features, same clothes, same everything even the voice was close to what had been passed down in poems praising them. Though she was not fanatically religious due to her strange pursuit, anger still boiled in her veins at the thought of someone daring to impersonate their creator. It was a natural feeling everyone in Teyvat felt due to the special connection everything across Teyvat has with them.

Right now, she wants nothing more than pain to be inflicted onto the faker, but as her eyes were slowly seeing red, she slapped herself in the face and quickly sat down. She absolutely refuse to make any decisions when clouded by anger, this was something she made sure to follow since childhood as she had lost far too many valuable treasures due to greed, anger, and impulses. 

Yuyun popped a misty lily into he mouth and calmed herself down with a couple deep breaths. As much as the situation angered her, her way of life persevered and just as it had done thousand so times before in the past, allowed her to “see”. 

She pulled out some sugar cubes and threw them into her mouth, allowing her mind to think faster. Everything for her was a “product”, a person is a product of themselves and their predecessors, a fruit is the product of many months of hard labour and care, everything has a meaning. This impostor...was interesting. Subconsciously, she found a chill tingle up her spine. Something of this calibre, able to attract the attention of all of Teyvat by just existing... something so special...She needs to see it with her eyes. 

“A--------lright. I really needed that. Otherwise who knows how long it would’ve taken for me to get back into my senses. After all...” She stood back up, stretching her well trained body slowly. “...the word crisis can’t be written without opportunity, and opportunity is best served before anyone else~”

Reading on how it was mentioned the impostor had disappeared, she smiled. When YuYun wants something, she gets it one way or another. With that, she dashed off with astonishing speed. By no means was she weak, exploring every day builds up strength, and even more so when you wrestle with fully grown Geovishaps for their scales and eggs, and fight elite Treasure Hoarders.

It hurt. It hurt so so much. Bruises, cuts that already healed from your starry tears, and heartbreak. Heartbreak from both nothing is something. What did you even do? The memory felt so so long ago, even though it had not been even 3 weeks since you were here. A normal person in a normal life. You played Genshin Impact regularly, and due to your timid nature, you had built a close bond with the characters. The voice lines are all nostalgic and calming for you, and you’ve always made sure to try to not upset anyone in the game., going as far as watching walkthroughs on all the hangout events before doing it.

So why were you hurt so much? A happy cheery smile as you bathed in all of Mondstadt’s beauty as you walked in, stares and confusion in the next as you felt something hit your head, and nothing but shouts and insults from everyone you’ve thought you could trust. Knights knocked you to the ground as the rest of Monstadt taunted and hurt you. 

Venti’s cold gaze making your blood run cold before looking away, only to publicly denounce you. Liyue was the same alongside Inazuma, even though it had been torture to get there. All the sweet characters that represented your ideal of a human were shattered as the pain forced you to understand what’s happening. Pain was quickly associated them, the people who you thought you could trust and look eye to eye.

Being hunted down and chased like an animal, and being forced to live like one just to survive from those you thought you could trust, from your reflection of an ideal, due to the danger of stopping for a rest, it...hurt. So so much. So much so you aren’t sure if you’ll ever mover on. This is a common thing in martial arts, a feint. When you are struck in a place you were prepared to be struck, it would hurt less than where you didn’t expect. It made it so much worse.

Razor’s claymore on your skin, one of your favourite characters now after your life. Xiao’s absolute look of disgust towards you. Ei’s hurting words. The cute bard Venti’s insults. Zhongli’s dehumanizing attitude towards you. It...honestly didn’t matter at that point, you stopped thinking about home, stopped thinking of all your ideals, you just wanted to not be in pain anymore.

As your body finally wore out, your abused legs gave and you had fallen down to the ground. God knows how long you laid there, waiting for certain death, nothing but the sound of pounding heartbeat, desperate gasps, and awful ringing in your eyes. The cherry on top being the sore and abused body that accompanied your broken spirit.

Footsteps came from nearby and as death slowly approached, your desire stepped back in. I want to live...please just let me go...please don’t hurt me anymore...please, I’ll do anything…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I put it? Hmmm… I can see things. All veteran merchants can. The value of something, but I’m a bit different. I can appraisal the value, potential, and a lot of other information by just looking and feeling. I’ve always held immense pride for this since it represents my way of life. I always choose the best of the best, sparing not a second glance for second rate products. From when I learned to walk, I’ve always tried to find the most special and best items, whether it be rocks or leaves, everything, I can see it. 

Even Ningguang, who is renowned for her prodigious skill in the way of the merchant, was nowhere near close to my ability when it comes to appraising. This is no normal human ability, this is instead the crystallization of my way of life to search fo the best that manifested into an ability.

Just looking over at the tree next to me, I can see how fine the quality of its wood is, easily through the bark. I was already planning on what to do after I appraise the impostor. Making money would be easy if I play my cards correctly. After I get them, the Qixing, Knights of Favonius, and many clans in Inazuma would pay a fortune for them to be handed off. I could also hire a painter to draw the impostor, and watch the painting having its value skyrocket. This is a very significant historical event after all. Maybe I could try using it to bargain for the Golden Jade Wine Cup Tianquan has.

“Now that I think about it, doesn’t the blade or weapon that’s gonna be used to kill the imposter be very valuable for the Creator Church fanatics? I can pull some strings to get it then and there, but the problem is with the ethnics” As much as a psychopath I am, I really do not want to own a torture weapon, legendary weapons that killed foes are normal and commonplace, but tortures weapons are against my morals.

“Ah” I stopped walking. I hear a faint cry in the distance. I’ve steeled my heart from years of adventuring but for some reason, this cry pulls at my heartstrings so easily. Following the voice, the words became louder and clearer. Yep, that’s the impostor all right, regretting their actions. People get hurt when they make bad decisions, as much as I feel sympathy for the impostor, the fault lies with them. If only they simply did not insult and put shame on the divine, then this wouldn’t have happened. That’s simply how things are. I stepped aside to the left of the tree blocking me, and what I could see could simply only be described as

“Perfection...” my voice leaked out.

YunYu is a strange person. From her fanatical and perhaps even perverted fixation on special assets and treasures, all the way to her absolute unyielding belief in her way of life that is to pursue an ideal. Her actions for treasure were a result of her ideal, to pursue the ideal of finding and owning extraordinary things. Everyone is a bit of a perfectionist, everyone wanted the best of the best, but it is quickly through a young age that the fact that sentient beings whose existence is founded on subjective and superficial reasons, cannot be perfect. But so what? She still fought and desired it.

What she desired was not something as foolish as a child’s tantrum of wanting the best foolishly, no, it’s something more. It’s a path one takes to pursuit. The ideal lover, the ideal life, the ideal friendship, the ideal existence, the ideal family, the ideal emotions, the ideal body, the ideal body, the ideal everything, all humans live their life pursuing for these. 

From birth to death, all humans pursuit an ideal. An artist drawing a day in and day out for the ideal artwork, an author writing and researching for the ideal story, a sportsman training till their body begs them to stop for the ideal performance. It is not as foolish as wanting to be better and defeat everyone else, it is to FINALLY be better than the you that you never thought could be overcome. 

Yunhai had foolishly pursued her ideal of the pinnacle. The extraordinary, the special, the valued, all for the ideal pinnacle, the best of everything, perfection. Something that ALL so heartachingly desires, the world of Teywat itself treasures, the Heavens above desires, the Archons desires, all living beings desire, what she desires. The chain had always been there with her. All the treasures she gathered, all the artifacts, all the ancient heirlooms, it was now that she understood those were her own way of coping to the fact that she’ll never truly fulfill her ideal of perfection. 

Something so amazing that its value depended not by those around it, but by itself. Deep down, she knew there never will be the day where such a  thing would exist, but now, she could do nothing as what she had subconsciously deemed impossible but so so desperately wanted has been presented to her. All for her
