Valentine’s Day Pairing requests, part 2

If you're short of a gift to thank Xianyun for her kindness, then perhaps stopping for a chat might do instead?

Aether:Are you an Anemo character because you lost a loved one, or do you lose a loved one because you’re an Anemo character?

Venti:That’s not how that works.

Heizou:L-Liar.

Kazuha:It’s both.

Chasca:It is unfortunately both.

Sucrose:Sometimes multiple losses.

Wanderer:As if one isn’t enough.

Lynette:Or if you’re “lucky” it stops at simply holding the dying body in your arms with no hope.

Sayu:Or pondering how everything before you vanished with no real sign.

Faruzan:Like a rude awakening to a reality you didn’t realize you weren’t in already.

Venti:..*looks left*

Xiao:You know my answer.

Xianyun:I second that sentiment.

Jean:(Maybe I’m his favorite? All I got was the sting of divorced household, hopefully.) *squints* (Kaeya has been coughing lately…)

with the release of a certain bird adeptus approaching i cannot stop thinking about Foul Legacy befriending an adeptus

you're one of the younger adepti, a solitary, curious bird hidden away in some distant mountain that rarely ever receives visitors, even from the most determined of humans- most mortals are unaware of your existence entirely, but you don't particularly mind. you've never been one to demand worship and total respect, even if living alone on your little mountain can get very quiet from time to time. Cloud Retainer- or Xianyun as she's going by nowadays- and her two daughters occasionally visit, but that's all the traffic your home ever receives. it's fine- you're content tending to your garden and practicing your magic and making little packets of herbs for Xianyun to distribute amongst your fellow adepti.

you're fine. you're not lonely at all.

the other adepti have told you bits and rumors about the ground splitting open, leaking dark, stellar energy from its roots, but you don't quite believe them until you get to witness it for yourself, wings flapping open in surprise when there's a crack and a rumble and suddenly a beast twice your height emerges from the earth- your plants are utterly ruined, and you let out a cry of despair. the monster shakes its head to dislodge the dust and dirt, before turning its one-eyed gaze towards you- but it doesn't attack or even act threatening in the slightest, merely approaching slowly and sniffing the air around you. it suddenly notices the plants and the distressed look in your eyes, and the beast sits back on its haunches, letting out a low, apologetic whine. you're not a vengeful adeptus, though, and silently allow the creature to stay as you tidy up the garden.

his name, as you learn, is Foul Legacy.

in a way you're both oddities, him with his Abyssal traits and you with your incomplete human disguise, feathers standing out on your cheeks and a tiny pair of wings still on your back- it's one of the main reasons you don't venture into the city, along with your hatred of large crowds. one day of company turns to two, then to three, then a week and a month until Foul Legacy is essentially living with you, following you around and helping you with your daily chores. needless to say Xianyun is... not happy when she finds out, but she begrudgingly allows it, saying something along the lines of "one's third child needs to make more friends anyways". and when the eventual time comes that Foul Legacy does depart, he leaves you with a lick on your cheek and a purr, his way of promising to see you again.

so it's by no coincidence when you finally perfect your shapeshifting skills and step foot into the Harbor for the first time, that you meet a man with ginger hair and a playful grin that you've never seen before, but looks so familiar all the same

hihi i truly post here whenever i remember lksdjfsa i drew xianyun 😳 what if she had the neck markings in human form like how she does in bird form

like like these neck markings yk

The Chinese text in the back is 闲云野鹤 which is used to describe being as unfettered as a stray cloud and as free as a wild crane. It's where Xianyun's name comes from! Xianyun is the stray cloud part of the phrase and ofc she is a crane so! It fits perfectly 😌 It's also close to her cloud retainer name because in Chinese, cloud retainer is liuyun, both names contain 'yun' which is cloud :)

Cloud Retainer, you say... Yes, I know a tale or two. There was a time when she preferred to appear in human form and was revered as a bold and decisive figure.
