About the Creator: Favoritism - 2

Requested by: Multiple anonymous users

CW: None?

Characters Included: Lyney, Arlecchino, Pantalone, Furina, Wriothesley, Neuvillette, Venti, Zhongli, Nahida

Note: Long time no see! Hope you all enjoy something lots of people requested in my absence! 🙏 Also this is written before Arlecchino’s release. So there may be some OOC Harbingers lol

Part One

-

Arlecchino: “Their Grace has quite the sweet tooth. Naturally I don’t mind indulging them in the sweetest treats I can find. Spending time with Their Grace is not a privilege everyone enjoys… they constantly join my children and I for tea or just simple conversation… What’s with that look? Surely you don’t believe I would actually cause harm to them. No matter what you think of the Fatui, Her Majesty still reveres Their Grace. So naturally we would feel the same.”

Furina: “I always feared what Their Grace would think of me. I was pretending to be the Hydro Archon, I knew with just one look, they would know I wasn’t who I claimed. I thought I was ready to accept any form of punishment they deemed worthy. However when we first met, their benevolence really shined through. They really understood just how draining the past few decades were for me and even apologized for not being there…. Ehem! Anyways…! I actually have a tea party with Their Grace this afternoon! I must get the most exquisite confectioneries to suit their palate.”

Lyney: “So that’s what you wanted to ask! Well yes, there have been many times when Their Grace and I have been alone together.… and as the successor, I have to tend towards Their Grace in “Fathers” absence. Having any kind of relationship with them is very beneficial for the House of the Hearth, but them wanting to spend more time with me than with the Iudex or even Ms. Furina… well, I won’t complain one bit!”

Nahida: “My favorite thing to do with Their Grace is trading knowledge with them. Even with Irminsul, Their Grace knows bits of knowledge I’ve never heard before. They were here once before, back when all members of the Seven were still in contact with each other. I have no memory of that. So it’s only fair that I’m able to make memories of my own with Their Grace now right?”

Neuvillette: “Their Grace spends a lot of their time in Fontaine. As the Iudex and with no Archon ruling the nation, I have made it my personal responsibility to tend to their needs.… You are correct, Their Grace and I do spend quite a lot of time together, anytime I am free of my duties I always look forward to sharing a cup of water imported from Qiaoying Village and listening to whatever they wish to talk about.… Hm? No of course not. There is nothing I would deem as “too much work” when it comes to Their Grace.”

Pantalone: “There is no amount of mora I wouldn’t spend on Their Grace. No matter what they request, whether it be big or small, common or rare, I will always get it for them. Tell me Traveler, do you believe I am buying Their Grace’s attention? There are many people in Teyvat who have money, yet their gaze never leaves mine. It seems that obtaining a vision isn’t the only way to get favor from the Gods.”

Venti: “Hello there Traveler…! You were coming here to see Their Grace? Well, you just missed them! But worry not, I can sing you a song I just wrote about them! Oh…? You think that the Creator favors me? Well I’d rather it be me than any of the other Archons! All of Mondstadt believes that I’m just some bard who managed to capture Their Grace’s attention, but in reality I think I understand Their Grace better than anyone. Hehe…”

Wriothesley: “I never really expected to meet Their Eminence, but once they requested to enter the Fortress I made sure everything was in order for their arrival. Even now, they come down often just to share a cup of tea with Sigewinne and I. A lot of the prisoners believe that I have some sort of favoritism or that I take bribes from them… hm? Well I didn’t say it wasn’t true, but I didn’t think it was that obvious…”

Zhongli: “You wish to know about my relationship with Their Grace? As the eldest Archon, I take pride in having the strongest connection with them. Even now, when they return to Teyvat centuries later, it feels as if our connection has never changed. If they ever choose to settle in one of the nations, I would be honored if they chose Liyue. Everything I’ve done has been in their image, and being able to spend time with them as Zhongli rather than Morax is a privilege I will never take for granted.”

My first post back just to see how it felt to write some of my favorite characters again. Anyway, I will be opening requests so feel free to send something in! :)

Distracting him from work

gn!reader x diluc

cw: nsfw, praising, fluff

A/N : hey hey long time no see, sorry for any spelling / grammar mistakes I will fix this later lol. This will hopefully be first of many more fics to come!

“Luc!” You were ecstatic to hear your boyfriend coming home from work. You thought he was coming home earlier tonight but ended up staying at the tavern later than planned.

“Hi baby, I’m sorry I had to stay late. Did you eat already?” he says hugging and kissing you on the top of your head.

“I ate lunch but I havent eaten dinner yet. I was waiting for you, Luc.” you say letting him go as he takes off his coat and shoes.

“Hun, you should’ve ate earlier, I still have some work I have to do before I can end the night.” Diluc said in a sad tone.

“You should eat too though! You’ve had a long day at work and I understand you have to finish up some things for work but you should eat before you dive back into work Luc!” You say eagerly waiting for his response. Diluc told you he wouldn’t be able to make it back earlier today but you still wanted to wait for him and have dinner with him like you wanted. You weren’t gonna let him dive back into work that easily.

“Baby, I would love nothing more than to eat dinner with you but I should really get working.” He held your hands and kissed you once before embracing you in his arms. “You can bring some dinner upstairs though and we can eat in my office, would that make it up to you?” He said it so softly, it was for you and you only to hear. None of the maids were at home still so he had no reason to whisper it other than to show you how sincere he was and how much of a soft spot he had for you.

You nodded excitedly as he stopped embracing you, you were almost jumping up and down. He smiled softly and kissed the top of your head one last time before going up to his office without a word. You didn’t mind though, you knew how equally excited you two would be for this even without words. You quickly ran to the kitchen and made a simple dinner. It wasn’t fancy like the maids make your meals but it was enough for the two of you to enjoy. After you finished making your dinner you quickly walked back upstairs to find Diluc in his office. You knocked twice before opening his office door.

“Hi, baby.” He said with a smile. “You know you don’t have to knock, my love.” He chuckled softly.

“I know, I just wanted to.” You said chuckling as well.

You sat down in a chair he pulled up next to him. You watched as he moved some papers aside to make room for the food. You decided to share the food on one plate so he didn’t have to make much room. You both took a bite before continuing with your conversation.

“How was work?” You say eagerly waiting to hear his voice again. It was really something else, Diluc had the voice to make you go absolutely crazy. He knew it. He had to know. There’s no way he didn’t know how much you loved his voice. Diluc may not have been a eager talker but with you he opened up so much more than he did with anyone.

He talked about his day like normal, he told you about some wild customers, told you about the staff, about venti’s drunkard self. You could do nothing but stare and admire him. By the time he had recapped basically his whole day to you, you two were finished with dinner. He quickly got started on work again and you quietly went to go wash the now dirty dishes. After a few minutes you went back up stares to Diluc with some grape juice and water.

“I brought you some grape juice, luc.” You say quietly as to not disturb his focus.

He looked up at you, “Thank you my love. Here, come sit on my lap.”

You were shocked that Diluc would be the one to offer you such a request but you would never in a million years deny this specific request. Sitting on his lap was like sleeping with a warm sun dried blanket. He smelled amazing and sitting on his lap elevated his smell ten times more than usual. Plus who doesn’t love sitting on their partners lap? Especially while they did work, being in your partners vicinity, having your partner want you in their vicinity while they’re doing something important such as work is such a nice feeling. And you took advantage of it one thousand percent.

You quickly took a seat on his lap and snuggled up close to him. He loved it when you did it, and you knew full well that he did. You had your way with Diluc, you were the only person who could ever have their way with Diluc and you didn’t mind what so ever. And since you could have your way with him, you decided to tease him a little. You started humping his thigh a little to see if he’d react in any way, you were full on expecting him to tell you to knock it off or to tell you to get off his lap and sit next to him. To your surprise, he did neither. He let you hump him more, you could tell he wanted to see how far you’d take it and honestly you didn’t know why but it excited you.

You continued to watch him work and hump his thigh, he started smirking a little before you started humping his thigh with more passion. It felt good, humping his thigh when you should’ve been quiet and let him concentrate. Seeing how far he’d let you go and seeing what he’d do after he’s had enough. It was all so exciting, it made you want to hump him more and more.

“What are you doing, hun? Do you think you’re gonna get away with this?” He said whispering in a calm voice. “Look at me.” He wasn’t asking or begging. He was demanding. You stopped humping his leg and proceeded to look back at him. “Good, now get up.” You were a bit confused but you did as he said. You got up off his lap and looked at him confused. He started taking your clothes off, all of it. He didn’t let you keep just your shirt on, he ripped every single piece of clothing on your body off.

“Sit, facing me.” He pulled you onto him, back onto his thigh. “Go ahead.” He said smirking, eagerly waiting for you to continue humping his thigh. He looked you up and down, to your eyes, your mouth, your nipples, down to where you were sitting on his lap. You were stunned, you didn’t know what to do, he never acted like this before and even though it was a pretty big turn on you had no clue how to proceed.

“I said, go ahead.” he said in a stern tone that made you want to jump. You started humping his thigh again but this time you felt embarrassed. He was staring at you, while you were trying to hump him like a dog in heat. It was humiliating yet also so thrilling. You loved how he looked at you with those lustful eyes but you hated how lustful you probably looked to him. You couldn’t help it though, you wanted him to watch you, you wanted him to touch you, be lustful for you. And he was, and he did. He started small, grabbing your waist and guiding you as you humped back and fourth. Then, he moved just one hand to your nipple. Squeezing just hard enough to make you flinch. And then he moved both hands to you nipples, now full on making you scream every time he pinched them. You started to cry from the pain and excitement. He moved his hands back to your waist and started kissing your neck going down to your nipples. He sucked your left nipple, hard. He swirled his tongue around your nipple making your head spin and started pinching the right nipple as he did. You were starting to lose your grip on his thighs, making it harder for you to continue humping him. He didn’t care, he just moved from one nipple to the other.

He finally stopped playing with your nipples and looked at you. “Can I leave marks on you? Visible marks?” His question stunned you, a mixture of pleasure and a mixture of joy. You couldn’t respond other than just a weakly nod. He chuckled seeing how weak you were from just humpimg him and having him play with your nipples. He went ahead and started leaving hickies all over your chest and neck, you were too weak to even realize how many he had left on you and at the same time you didn’t really care. Everyone in mondstadt knew you two were a couple and you didn’t care if people looked at you funny. You enjoyed when he left hickies on you, and he enjoyed giving you hickies.

“My love,” he said taking you out of your trance, “let’s go to the bed, shall we.” He said it as if it were a question but you knew he was going to take you even if you didn’t want to. And so he did, he lifted you up, leaving your clothes and his paper work messily on the desk and the floor. He carried you to your bedroom which thankfully was right next to his office. He gently placed you down on the bed as you started eagerly tearing his pants off. “Love, I can take my own clothes off.” He says but you didn’t care. Your mind was mush, filled with nothing but lustful thoughts and you were just ready to have him absolutely destroy every part of you.

He took his shirt off as you took his pants off and then you started kissing him, it was a long and deep kiss, lustful and vicious. He started touching you as you two kissed, rubbing his member against you, just as eager to devour you. You two panted as you pulled away from the kiss.

“Im putting it in.” He doesn’t ask or wait for a response. He knows what’s his and he takes it. He was stern and rough, he was damn near basically shoving it in but you liked it this way. You moaned loudly, not even caring if people could hear you two or not. He grunted with every thrust, your moans only making him thrust deeper and harder. He wanted you, he needed you.

Your moans filled and echoed throughout the room, his grunts only being loud enough to be heard by you. Only you could hear how passionate and how different these grunts were compared to the rest. Only you could truly hear and understand that this feeling, these lustful thoughts and needs were a new experience. And you loved being the only one who knew. You tightened around him each time he goes harder, he loved it. He loved feeling how tight you were and he loved hearing you moan in pleasure each time he forced his way through your tight walls.

“Baby ngh… you’re so tight..” All you could do was moan in response. You couldn’t make out any words, you couldn’t even make any noises besides moans. He had turned you into mush, he made you a sex toy for his personal use.

“You’re doing so good baby.. take it all just like that” he said pounding into you harder, making you tighter.

“You’re doing a wonderful job taking my dick hun. Is this what you wanted earlier? Did you want me to bend you over my desk and pound into you this roughly?” You could tell he was also struggling to speak, every sentence was getting harder and harder for him to speak fully.

“Doing such a good job baby.” He reached over to kiss you. “Doing a great job taking me in. Do you like it when I fuck you like this? Huh, baby?”

You couldn’t take it anymore, his teasing only turned you on more, making it almost impossible for you to not climax in that instant.

“I..ngh, I need to..ngh.. I need to cum..” You said practically whimpering to him.

“Go ahead baby. You can cum. Cum all over me baby, you can do it. Be a good little brat and cum for me.” he couldn’t stop panting, almost as if he was about to cum as well.

“I..” you said holding back tears. “I’m cumming” you say followed by a moan.

“Me too baby, I’m cumming too..” he said softly as he ran his hands down your body.

You were both panting. Him still being inside you, reached down and kissed you. It wasn’t a lustful kiss, it was passionate and overwhelming with genuine affection. “You did a good job baby. I’m sorry if I was too rough.” He says running his thumb along your lips. “You weren’t.” You reassured him, pulling him back in for another kiss.

“We should probably go take a shower now.” He says looking at you softly. You giggled at him, “We should, shouldn’t we?” Both of you now laughing softly. He plants a kiss on your forehead. “I’ll go get the water running.” He says before kissing you one last time and going to the bathroom. You lay there, ready to go to bed any second now.

Diluc gently wakes you before telling you the bath is ready. The two of you help each other sleepily wash of that night’s event. Diluc hands you your pair of pj’s before grabbing his own. You two quickly change and proceed to walk back over to your bed and sleepily getting under the blanket together. Diluc turns off his nightstand lamp, making the room go pitch black. He goes to cuddle you up close to him before kissing your forehead. “Goodnight my love, sweet dreams.” You hear as you drift off into sleep.

30. you waited for her?

timeskip !

you were sitting in between lumine and aether while lumine conversed with venti and xiao. you were all at a cafe just chit chatting and having a fun time until the topic of school crushes came up.

“so who’d everyone like in highschool?”

lumine winked at you and gave you a knowing look

“here i’ll start! i liked..albedo!” lumine said cheeefully

“i liked the drummer in band hehe!” venti went next.

they all looked at xiao and his face went red. “i..um..”

you already knew what he was gonna say, you just didn’t want to hear it. you abruptly stood up, earning a confused look from xiao. you sighed and just said you needed to go get some air. you walked out and just sat on the bench outside.

“why does no one ever..ugh why do i even try at this point!”

“hey yn..”

you didn’t have to turn to know who it was, a soft smile appeared on your lips.

“hi aether.”

he sat down next to you and you both sat there in a quiet silence.

“yn i know why you walked out.”

he turned to you and put his hand on yours. “i’m here if you want to talk yn, i was always here.”

you looked at him and smiled, “i know, that’s why you’re an amazing guy.” you moved closer to him and gave him a hug. “i’ll always..be here for you.”

he hugged you back as tears started falling down your cheeks; the cold winter air hitting your face making it feel like ice on your cheeks.

once you calmed down you told him about how you had tried moving on, how you tried being in a relationship with someone else. none of it ever worked, maybe this wasn’t your thing? maybe you were meant to be lonely?

“maybe you’re not trying with the right people?”that helped the gears move in your head, the right people huh..

you stood up, “you’re right. i’m not trying with the right people.”

he stood up with you with sparkles in his eyes, “so you know who you’re supposed to be with?”

“no..but i’ll find the right person! someone that loves me for me! thank you aether, you’re really one of my best friends. we can go back inside now.”

“i think i’ll stay out here a bit longer..”

“alright..don’t stay out here too long! it gets pretty cold.”

you walked back in while aether leaned back on the bench.

“sigh..”

[mock-arts]

General update on where I’m at art wise under the cut! And energy-to-make-art wise too I guess (some minor tw for very general discussion of like. Current events and life stuff.) I promise I’ll be back to mostly art on this blog soonish.

So, here’s what the year is looking like for me right now. I mentioned last week that I’m in the middle of a stretch of big bang art. Well, I’m really smack dab in the middle of the Star Wars big bang — I’ve got 2 or 3 pieces to do over the next three weeks, still, but I’ve already got 4 done that will be posting up across June, and I’m pretty hype to share those, and see the fics go up.

I’ve also just recently matched up with some really dope authors with some fics taking some big swings that are verrrry interesting, in dinluke and sandman bangs. I’m thinking I’ll get to do some very dope art for those.

There’s like. One more bang in 4Q I’m sort of thinking about (signed up to pinch hit only for now) and a couple zines I’m eyeing, but I’m like. Trying to be somewhat better about saying no to myself lmao. I did also have the crazy three AM thought “I should make a fan comic” but like. I know how long that takes so. Probably not lmao. I’m sort of waffling if I want to continue signing up for so many bangs, given the givens, (my heart says yes but my brain says “really?”) so if I do tone it down, maybe next year?

Oh and not art exactly, but I’ve also been working on a suite of tools for big bang moderators. I’ve made a spreadsheet that emails people for you and a spreadsheet that generates a google doc. The use cases here are sending out claim match emails and generating summary documents for claims. Next on my to do list is a spreadsheet that generates a google form, for mods who want their artists to rank every fic for claims. Once I get that done I’ll bundle them up with some advice maybe. If the ones I have complete sound like something you could use now though, let me know over DMs.

I just hope my energy comes back from the war lol. I churned out the first 3 pieces for the swbb really fast, but between a couple really difficult weeks at work, my trainee sucking the life out of me (and my weekends. I’m about to murder her), and a slew of bad news, I’m like. Man what puppy did I kick.

I wrote up my venty post yesterday and then there was a shooting like 5 minutes from my place and when I called my mom to tell her I was safe I got told my aunt had started having seizures after a head injury and was just coming off a ventilator. The hits just keep coming lol.

Despite all that the biggest drain is actually my trainee. I’ve worked two weekends in a row covering for her now. That’s my art making time.

[primofate]

Kiss your Genshin best friend to see his reaction

Summary: You’ve been best friends for a whilenow, and you definitely have those little feelings of maybe wanting to be more but you just don’t know how to convey it. So you take a leap of faith, put a hand on his cheek, and give him a peck on the lips. Something you’ve never done before. Hey, actions speak louder than words, right...?

Characters: Aether, Albedo, Alhaitham, Ayato, Bennett, Chongyun, Cyno,  Dainsleif, Diluc, Gorou, Itto, Kaeya, Kaveh, Kazuha, Lyney, Neuvillette, Razor, Scaramouche, Tartaglia, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Xingqiu, Zhongli, gn!reader

Warnings: inspired by an old tiktok trend even though I don’t have tiktok cause it’s banned in my country, lol but it was also a request by an anon, not proofread

Aether

Stunned does not even describe the entirety of it

He’s speechless and staring at you for a good five seconds before his brain starts to work again

“Wait, what was--” touches his lips to try and recall if that really happened or if he was trippin’

“Wait, hold on,” starts laughing at you and grabs at your wrist.

Proceeds to stare at you for another 5 seconds to process the information overload.

“Would you...wanna try that again?” with a loopy yet unsure grin

Albedo

Blinks once and leans back, away from you.

The surprised expression only crosses his face for a second.

He’s trying to logically piece together things and not jump to conclusions cause that’s just not him.

“...Did you, make a mistake?” When you shake your head no he grabs your hand and pulls you closer up against him.

You’d think he’d be more subtle but he might have been waiting for that for just as long as you were.

“Just making sure...before I experiment on your lips again,” 

Alhaitham

has a blank look on his face. You can’t tell what he’s thinking (then again, you never can).

closes his book, leans forward to grab your hand and to pull you closer. He’s staring holes into you now.

“W-What?” You stutter, still feeling flustered by your own actions.

He makes you look at him by tilting your chin up, but gently, and his eyes narrow at you.

“...If you're against this, now's the time to speak up," as he leans closer just an inch from your lips, gauging your response, his breath hot on you.

But he doesn’t give you time to respond and gives you a kiss more passionate than you expected.

He got his answer when you kissed back.

Ayato

arm latches on around your waist before you can even pull back and turns the quick peck into a full kiss.

He doesn’t half-ass anything and is even bold enough to pepper kisses down your jaw. 

You’re a little overwhelmed at his response, not expecting it to be this positive.

“Hm?” chuckles. “I’m only giving you what you asked for. One is hardly enough, no?”

Bennett

Has the “?!?!” expression

Simply half confused half shocked

Frozen in both fear and nervousness.

Cannot help but replay the kiss a thousand times in his head before he stutters out

“Y-Y-Y/N?!” and doesn’t even know what to say

Goes red

“T-T-That was a kiss, right?” You nod and he goes even redder if possible

Can’t comprehend it and straight up asks you why you did it. Your attempt at being obvious has failed.

It’s not that he doesn’t like you, he simply just can’t believe it. 

Chongyun

just dies. pray for him.

A bit like Bennet but more of a “!!!!!!” reaction and immediately goes red without any prompting.

Has to turn away and calm himself though you can still see his red ears. 

You ask him a moment later if he’s okay

“F-F-Fine! I’m...extremely pleased!” Then turns around when he realizes what he said and waves his hands to try and explain. “I-I mean, you don’t have to do it again! I’m just--” 

Decides shutting up would be a better option and keeps his mouth closed while his eyes are tacked on to the ground.

Cyno

silently flustered. feels heat on his cheeks but just stares at you for a moment. Then turns away from you to gather his thoughts. The type of guy who looks tough but has “Y/N kissed me” running 800 times in his mind just to process it.

Coughs into his hand and clears his throat before turning back towards you. You’re starting to think you’re going to be rejected.

“Did you...Was that a mistake?” he just wants to be cautious.

You tell him it wasn’t and he feels embarrassed all over again.

This time just rubs his neck and looks at the ground before suggesting quietly “...We can try and make it longer next time,”

Dainsleif

At the first touch of your lips, not even 1 second in he recoils his head back and looks at you with eyes that are a fraction wider

It makes you think that he didn’t like it, since his averse reaction was so fast.

In reality he just doesn’t wanna cross a line that the two of you can’t undo but you take it the wrong way and apologize to him.

He snatches your wrist in a split second, “Don’t apologize. I just...” his eyes wander over to your lips and you see him gulp. 

“I just want to make sure this is what you really want...” he says this while learning forward, just waiting for you to be the one to connect the two of you again.

Diluc

Does not even realize that the moment you lean in he ALSO leans forward and welcomes your lips. 

Also does not realize that his hand has comfortably placed itself on your hip. 

Kiss lasts longer than you intended and when the two of you finally pull back there’s astonishment in his eyes, but the good kind. The type where he’s taken aback by how good and right that felt.

He doesn’t withdraw his hand on your hip but he does cough into his hand and avert his eyes for a moment.

“...That was...rather unexpected...No, I’m not displeased at all...” he explains himself, gets the courage to finally look at you again and breathes out a question, his lips look more luscious than usual but so do yours, in his perspective “May I...once again?”

Gorou

Tail freezes, ears perk up.

His eyes don’t even close and he’s stunned, hand half up about to cover his lips but he seemed to have malfunctioned.

“Y-Y-Y-You can’t just--!!”

There’s so many random things running through his mind:

Did you eat dango for a snack? Cause your lips sure tasted sweet.

How are they so soft? Sure he’s stared at you a couple of times but he didn’t think your lips would be THAT soft.

How is he still alive? He feels as if he’s been sent to heaven already.

Snaps out of all his thoughts by shaking his head, tries to keep a straight face. “W-Warn me next time!” 

but his tail is uncontrollably wagging.

Itto

Possibly the one with the most wide-eyed and dumbfounded reaction. 

Speechless but savors the taste of your lips.

When he finally comprehends what happens (took you some hand waving in front of his face), he grabs you by the waist and pulls you in for another one. Head dipping confidently, no questions asked and just goes for it.

“W-Wow! Uh...I mean! Didn’t know you were such a good kisser! W-Well. Actually! I can’t really be sure, we gotta try that again and see!”

Eager and oh so ready. Like he found a new hobby.

Will pounce on you if he has the chance.

Kaeya

Sees it coming before it even happens and welcomes it. It’s like he was practicing for it his whole life.

Immediately has his hand pressed against the back of your head to deepen the kiss and lean closer to you.

It definitely lasts for longer than you thought it would. 

He pulls back with a grin but doesn’t let you go.

His whisper sends shivers down your spine and he runs a finger under your chin to tip it up “You know this isn’t going to end with just one, right?”

Also the type that would pull you by the waist and he would fall back in bed while you topple on top of him. 

Kaveh

Will have a dumbfounded/shocked/?!?!?!?!/wth expression on his face for a good 10 seconds before he starts functioning again. At which point you’re just about ready to turn around and run away from him.

“Wait! Where are you going?! You can’t just run away after that!”

You retort back that you don’t even know what else to do or say since he’s just gone silent.

“Well--I’m just--What do you expect me to say when you suddenly kiss me like that?!” 

Is now covering his mouth but is also blushing and doesn’t know what to do.

“No! It’s not that I didn’t like it, I just...Does this mean what I think it means?” 

You counter back with “Well what do you think it means?”

low key the two of you just go back and forth for a while cause you both are just too damn embarrassed about it. 

Kazuha

It all seems so natural with this guy.

When he sees you coming in his hand rests on your cheek automatically and he receives the kiss gracefully. 

The kiss doesn’t deepen, but you feel that he has urged you to lengthen it a little.

When the two of you pull apart it’s not a sudden jerk back, it’s a slow and only slight slide away. 

He’s looking at you as if he’s seen the stars in the night sky for the very first time.

He doesn’t utter a word, but his look says it all and he dips down again for another kiss, just assuming that you’re alright with it.

Lyney

doesn’t let you pull away and makes the kiss longer. It’s like he was waiting for it to happen and was prepared. 

Has a grin when he pulls back, one arm round your waist, unwilling to let you go.

“Hah, thought you had me there didn’t you?” winks and conjures up a rainbow rose from somewhere and presents it to you.

“Oh but my dear Y/N, I’m always one step ahead of you, remember that,” he teases and dips in to whisper in your ear.

“That’s how I know that you want another kiss, am I right?”

Neuvillette

Is frozen when you kiss him, and frozen for a second more when you pull away but quickly gains his composure back.

“Y/N...” he starts, as if trying to piece his words carefully. “I can only hope that you’re aware... I don’t offer affection to just anyone...” 

There’s a brief silence and you tell him that you’re aware but he doesn’t seem to have processed your response and instead asks you another question.

“...Is it the same for you? Am I right to assume that this...kiss...isn’t because of just a sudden fleeting emotion...or a result of just impulse--”

You stop him midway and tell him it’s out of love. 

He seems to again be frozen in thought, until he slowly bridges the gap between the two of you.

“...In that case perhaps we should try that again...I could taste more of nervousness than anything else, Y/N. Maybe a second time will seal it,”

just wants to kiss you again. properly. 

Razor

Blinks. Processes. Blushes

Shy smile on his face but he’s a simple person who communicates better with actions so he kind of understands your intentions.

He moves forward to give you a quick peck on the cheek (that’s the only thing he’s brave enough for) as if returning the favor

then he turns around and pretends to be busy doing his own thing when in truth he has a flustered face on and is just trying to hide his giddiness from you.

Scaramouche

Grabs your wrists, both of them, and demands an answer. “The hell do you think you’re doing?”

He’s not scowling, but there’s a glare on his face and yet there’s a subtle shyness to it. Like you’ve offended him but he doesn’t want to show it.

“If you’re going to do that, you have to do it properly, you dumbass,”

Pulls on one of your wrists so that you’re nearly crashing towards him (just the way he likes it) and clumsily wraps his arms around you and kisses you. 

He pretends he knows what he’s doing but has no idea and it’s probably also his first kiss.

Tartaglia

The one that chases after your lips with a laugh.

You kiss, you pull away, but his lips are following yours as you pull backward and it’s just so funny that the two of you can’t help but giggle.

But he always gets what he wants so he cups your face in his hands and gives you a proper kiss. 

“Should’ve done it earlier, it’s hard just being your friend,” winks

Also one who will ask for another, and then another, and then another so you’ve gotta have your boundaries set, he’s so good at begging for more kisses too.

If he’s not satisfied and wants more, is also the type to trap you against a wall until you give him another.

Thoma

Has a gasp caught in his throat.

instinctively has his fingers on his lips

“Y/N was that...intentional?”

eyes wide in pleasant surprise and when you nod your head he breaks into a small charming laugh.

“I’m sorry, I made you wait. I’m a little embarrassed that you made the first move but...”

There’s a glow on his face and an unparalleled gentleness in his eyes when he brushes his thumb across your cheek. 

“this time, let me do it,” as he leans in for a fireworks behind your eyes kiss.

Venti

Blinks. Is surprised only for a split second then laughs. 

“Ahhh so that’s why you’re so jittery today!”

Would wrap his arms around your waist and pull you on his lap. 

“No need to be nervous kitten, I’ve been waiting a while too. Come on, just one won’t do!”

Ridiculously giddy and doesn’t hide it. Like a child who has found a new candy store.

At some point he will remind you that you were the one who made the first move. It’ll probably be one of his most favourite stories to tell.

Xiao

You caught him by surprise. 

He holds your hand but turns his head away to look at something else, trying to keep his blush covered. 

You keep moving to the side he’s turned to only for him to swing his head the opposite direction when you do so, still trying to hide.

“Quit--Quit moving around! I just--” growls under his breath that you won’t let him have his moment in peace.

Suddenly grabs you to plant a clumsy kiss on your lips again.

Then becomes embarrassed all over again.

Xingqiu

Surprised, but kind of in a neutral way. 

He’s always liked you and is comfortable with you so he’s delighted, but also outwardly calm about it.

“Hm...Shame. That was a little too quick,”

Inwardly he might be freaking out a little bit.

“I’m...not all that knowledgeable when it comes to these things. But I can assure you that I enjoyed it,”

Tugs at your hand to “hint” that he’d like to try again but probably will have a hard time conveying that he wants to try again using his words.

Zhongli

His lips part a little when it happens and he regains composure fairly quickly.

“Hm...” Will close his eyes to think about it but will also beckon you closer with an upward flick of his hand.

Takes your hand and kisses the back of it. It’s tender and patient and he looks up at you while he does so. 

“There’s no hurry...I’m the type of person who...” trails his hand up your arm, to your shoulder and traces your jawline. “Likes to savour things...”

His voice has the ability to make you tremble with some sort of excitement. “Now then...Let’s try that again,”

[tartglias]

Xiao, Zhongli and Venti with an immortal s/o

“Sooo 👀 can i request so some fluff hc for venti, xiao and zhongli with an immortal s/o?”

thank you so much for requesting!! this is my first time writing for more than one character at a time so it was a challenge lol thank you sm!!

Xiao

Xiao never understood the importance of time. Days, months, even years feel like nothing when you’re immortal. What a funny thing that is, immortality. He knows normal humans would do anything for it, and he despises them for that. Nothing so great came free, he knew that well. He was freed from tortures, only to get tormented by karma. He could still hear the voices and screams calling for help from tortured souls, these still haunt him daily. But the worst moments come when he sees that figure, that person who he once considered close. So close he could use the human word “soulmate”, if he believed in those, to describe who that person meant to him.

Many centuries back he met you, such a gentle person who got to break down his hard walls. A smile, a touch, a kiss. That’s all it took. So many meaningless years, and he never once encountered a person as kind yet strong like you. Someone who made the daily nightmares cease, with a simple smile and brush of fingers.

He remembers your last words like it was the day before. You were on top of one of the tall stones in Huaguang Stone Forest, Xiao laying his head on your lap and you placing small qingxin flowers on his hair. He wouldn’t allow anyone do that to him ever, but in the end, you were you. And you were different.

“Xiao” you called, once you were done placing the flowers. He opened his eyes and muttered a “hm?” in response. “I have to leave soon. Mondstadt calls me”

He sat up.

“What do you mean?”

“By tomorrow morning, I’ll be on my way back to Mondstadt” you said, quietly standing up.

He stood up too.

“When will I see you again?” he asked, now not being able to look at you.

“I don’t know” you said, reaching out for his hand and taking it. You placed a soft kiss on his knuckles, and he felt himself calm down at the gesture for a moment.

“I meant it when I said I’ll love you forever, Xiao” you said, finally locking eyes with him. You had teary eyes, he dreaded to see you like that. If it were up to him, he would swallow every bit of pain in your body and soul, just to see you smile.

And with that, you disappeared. As quickly as you broke down his walls, you disappeared just as quick the next day. Days, months and years became even more meaningless, but somehow he felt them longer. He missed you every day, he whispered to the moon every night, wishing that some archon would hear and bring you back to him. He knew you were like him, but he never heard from you again. Were you able to finally cross to the other side? He tried to erase those thoughts from his mind.

He later found himself in that very same stone, the one in which he last saw you. New Qingxin flowers blossomed, and they reminded him of you. He sat down, staring at the horizon. But then, he felt a strange swift of wind, and a presence behind him. He quickly stood up, ready to put his mask on and kill whoever dared to interrupt his solitude. But he didn’t. The mask in his hand dropped to the floor, next to the flowers.

“I’m back” you said, with a shy smile.

“You’re back” he said, more to himself than to you. Were you really there?

His question was soon answered, once you stepped closer and pulled him in a hug. He found himself wrapping his arms around you, holding you as close as he could, while trying to hold back his tears.

“I’m sorry I took so long, my beloved” you said as you locked your eyes with his. You grabbed his hand and held it, but you never once let go of the hug.

“I’m here to stay now” you whispered.

Zhongli

“You need to stop playing with people’s hearts” Zhongli said, as he sipped on his tea and looked at you questioningly. You rolled your eyes in response and put your focus back on your potion. A few petals from the most exotic flower in Teyvat, a little bit of juice made from vines and a teaspoon of slime condensate.

“Sometimes mortals need a little push in the right direction” You said, finishing up the mix and transferring it to a small bottle made of glass. “Plus, we’ve been here for centuries, I’m bored and I need a hobby”

“I don’t think that messing with human’s love lives can be considered a hobby. I don’t think it’s morally correct” he said.

“You’re very dramatic. I can feel the true desires of every being that touches the soil in Teyvat, and if I sense that the desire is mutual, I simply work my magic” You said, sitting back on your chair next to the tall man.

“Can’t you let them figure it out by themselves?” He asked.

“That’s no fun Zhongli” You said, finishing up the sweet perfume-potion you were creating.

You and Zhongli have been friends for centuries. You met when you moved to Liyue as the representative of the Dendro Archon, someone you really looked up to. Zhongli was kind enough to make you feel at home, and soon became friends with the Geo Archon. Though you must admit, you always wished it was something more.

Maybe that’s why you picked up this “hobby” of yours. Unrequited love is something painful and mortals only live a short life, you believe they should live it fully, if possible.

“Are you alright?” Zhongli asked, interrupting your thoughts with a concerned look on his face. You didn’t realize you had a sad look on yours.

“Oh? Yeah of course” You said, quickly brushing it off and proceeding decorating the small glass bottle.

“Y/n-“ he started, placing a hand on top of yours in order to get your attention. “I’ve known you for a long time. I know when something is wrong”

It was funny. He knew you like the back of his hand, he knew how to read you since the first time he laid his eyes on you. Yet he never found out how you truly felt about him, how your heart made like a million flips whenever he did something as simple as hold your hand, or brush a hair away from your face. All these little things and gestures, have been making you swoon over your closest friend for years, centuries even.

“Time and love are strange concepts, aren’t they?” You asked, looking straight at him. Here goes nothing, you thought.

“I believe those are rather simple concepts”

“You can spend a lifetime with someone, know every habit and expression but you don’t know how they truly feel about you” You said staring at him, searching for any hint that indicated he knew what you were talking about. But you saw nothing. Who were you kidding? He’s just your friend, has been for a long time.

You let out a defeated laugh, standing up and letting go of his hand. “Forgive me, I don’t really know what i’m saying” you said, grabbing the potion and starting to leave. But you felt his hand on your wrist, stopping your movements.

“You said you felt the desires of every being that stepped foot on Teyvat’s soil, am I right?” he asked, looking at you. You nodded. “Does it work on me?”

“You wanted to get close to me, as a friend”

“My apologies my dearest y/n, but I think your blessing is wrong” he said, standing up and holding your hand once again. “I did want to get closer to you as a friend at first, but not any longer. I’ve been observing mortals for a while as well, on my daily walks through Liyue Harbor, and I think I finally understood my feelings”

You were sure that if Zhongli listened close enough, he would hear the fast beating of your heart.

“I’ve been waiting for you to use your love potion on me, my dear y/n. I’m sure it wouldn’t have worked anyways since I believe it would take a lot of effort to make an effective potion that could work on me. But it would have given me the excuse to tell you how I really feel” he said.

“How do you feel then?” you asked him, looking up at the tall man.

“I think I’m very lucky to have you by my side, and it makes me want to travel to the Dendro nation and personally thank the Archon for assigning you to Liyue. I also want you to still be by my side for the centuries to come, if you’re okay with that” he said, lowering his voice by the end.

You acted before you could process your thoughts. You stood on your tippy toes and kissed his cheek gently, never letting go of his hand. He liked you, he felt the same way about you. It was real.

“I’m okay with that” you replied.

Venti

It was almost noon, almost an hour after the original time you accorded with Venti to meet. You planned a picnic date by the big tree near the statue of the Seven, your favorite spot. The same spot which later, became Venti’s favorite spot as well.

He wasn’t a person who would jump straight to conclusions. You were late. Maybe you fell asleep, maybe you couldn’t find the guitar you promised to bring so you could play a duet. Being late doesn’t mean something bad happened, right?”

He decided to wait a few more moments, but once the sun set, he had enough. He went out to try and find you. He went to your house, but noticed the door was locked and no one was inside. “They left” he thought.

He slowly but surely started to get desperate. Where were you? Were you hurt? Did you get lost somehow? He went to Angel’s Share, and not even Master Diluc had seen you. If Venti wasn’t in such a panicked state, he would have noticed the rare concerned and worried look Diluc had on his face.

If any traveler walked by literally any road in Mondstadt, they would soon encounter a big rush of wind. Venti went from here to there as fast as he could, trying to find you.

He soon enough found you in Stormbearer Mountains, fighting hilichurls and two pyro mages. You looked tired, sweat covering your body and your clothes were dirty. It was obvious that this has been going on for a while. You gripped your sword as hard as you could, and kept fighting. Why didn’t you call for him? With no exception, Venti tells you daily to call for him if you ever encounter a problem. It’s not that he doesn’t think you’re strong, oh no, he believed you were the strongest mortal in Teyvat. But in the end, to him you were still a mortal. Fragile and over-sensitive. He often told you to call his name, that the wind will carry it and he will appear there to help you out. So why didn’t you?

“y/n!” he screamed, once he laid his eyes on you. You turned around and saw a rush on wind, and felt his presence. What you didn’t feel though, was the pyro attack coming from one of the mages. The mage summoned three pyro artifacts that surrounded you, and burnt you. You felt your energy slip away, your head dizzy and your body burning. Then, you felt the cold wind, Venti quickly finishing off the mages and the remaining hilichurls.

Venti thought it was over. You were kneeled down, burnt skin, gasping for air. It was over, you were going to die. He felt his eyes water and fear running through his veins. He wrapped his arms around you, making you lean on his chest.

“Don’t leave me” he begged. “please”

“My dear, I don’t think I can” you said, letting out a short laugh.

“Please stay strong, I think I can carry you to the cathedral but you need to hold very still so-“ he started saying, now fully crying but you interrupted him by putting a hand on his cheek and wiping his tears with your thumb.

“I’m serious, I don’t think I can leave anyways. Venti, I literally can’t die.” you said, with a laugh and slowly standing up.

“You... you’re immortal?” he asked, looking up at you, not being able to leave the floor.

You nodded. “I thought you knew”

“I hate you” he said, standing up and wiping away his tears. “I do”

“No you don’t. But you’re cute though!” you said, grabbing his face and kissing the tip of his nose. “I’m very sorry I’m late though, my commission took longer than I thought but let me compensate you with dinner and a bottle of wine”

“But you’re still burnt?” he asked you, concern still in his face.

“Oh don’t worry about that, it will rip out when I start walking. I have healthy skin underneath” you said, like it was the most normal thing in the world.

“Why do I feel like this is not your first time getting so hurt?” he asked letting out a soft chuckle, suddenly feeling lighter now that he knows you’re okay and will probably be okay for a long long while.

“Eh, been there done that a few times” you simply said, taking his hand and walking back to the city of Mondstadt.

Xiao: First Kiss HCs

When you and Xiao first got together. It was a slow and steady process of learning each other boundaries and what felt comfortable. Xiao knew he was a difficult partner but you loved him and even becoming his friend was a slow and worthwhile adventure. It started off small leading from small handholding, to cuddling, to showing each other affection. But the one area that you both weren’t familiar in was kisses. He was an isolated adepti and you were an adventurer. You didn’t have any experience in being kissed and Xiao sure as hell didn’t either. Plus it was a lot more intimate and nerve wracking compared to holding hands and that was an hard hill to tackle in itself.

You didn’t mind that he wasn’t comfortable with initiating affection or never went in or talked about kisses. You were just happy that he was by your side and that your love was reciprocated. That he was comfortable in your presence and seemed content in your arms. It still made you a bit giddy when you reflected on how far you both came and that was enough for you. Xiao, on the other hand, couldn’t exactly say the same. While he was happy and he was content, he couldn’t help but feel that maybe your relationship was too one-sided? He knew that you were comfortable and okay with waiting for him to work out his issues and figuring out how to love again but he also really wanted to do more. He just wasn’t sure how to start.

It suddenly dawned on him one day when he saw you off on your next journey, that he had never really kissed you. Even a small goodbye kiss. It was usually you initiating affection or giving words of love and you always told him that it didn’t matter if he said it or not. His actions said more which always made him flush a bit. But on slow and quiet days where you were off on another adventure and Liyue was calm, he couldn’t help but let his mind wander to you. To your face, your bright eyes that would light up whenever you talked about the interesting sights you saw on your journey, the curve of your nose whenever he tapped it when you started to ramble on to much, your lips and how they would spread into a soft smile when it was just the two of you.

Xiao quickly flipped himself up into a sitting position and groaned into his hands. What was happening to him? He needed to take a walk to clear his mind again. He’s been going out a lot since he met you. He had faced an army of demons and fought in a war and yet this felt like the hardest challenge of his entire thousand year long life. He could almost hear Guizhong’s laughter at his predicament and her words of wisdom saying to take whatever problem he had and face it head on. Just without his spear. The spear needs to stay home.

So the next time you visited Wangshu Inn he asked for you to close your eyes. You complied but you were surprised, sitting by the railing facing Liyue up on the balcony. Was he going to gift you something? This was the first time he asked you to close your eyes but you trusted him. You could almost feel the anxiety waving off Xiao so you kept quiet and patient and waited for him to be ready.

He was ready. He could do this. You weren’t even looking at him so what was there to be worried about? He slowly leaned in, just hovering above your lips. But then he leaned back a bit, flushing red. He nearly chewed his lip before stopping since you probably didn’t want to taste blood. It wasn’t that he wasn’t ready or he thought that you would hate it, he was just nervous in messing up. What if his accidently transformed? What if he accidently pushed you off the railing? Even worse, what if someone showed up and saw you both like this?

Turns out he didn’t need to worry. Somewhat. Zhongli, who Xiao knew now was actually Rex Lapis in disguise, made a sudden appearance behind him. The whiplash of suddenly seeing his Master, the nervous butterfly’s fluttering in his stomach, and pep talk Xiao was trying to pound into his mind made him suddenly lurch forward and kiss you deeply. A bit too deeply as his little fangs nipped at your bottom lip.

“Zhongli!?”

“Rex Lapis?!”

You both quickly broke apart as your eyes flew open when you heard the man but also surprise at the sudden but, not completely unpleasant, pain and pressure on your lips. You could almost see the soul leave Xiao’s body when he spun around to see the surprised Zhongli. It was silent for a moment, all three of you just staring at each other. You were still processing what the hell just happened, Xiao was trying to find a way to astral project, and Zhongli was computing the fact that yes, the ever grumpy and “don’t touch me” yaksha both had a lover and was in the middle of...courting.

“Oh. My apologies. I wasn’t aware you were both occupied. I shall take my leave and visit another day then.” Zhongli simply nodded and left before you or Xiao could say anything. You both stared at the empty figure of where Zhongli was before you started to burst into laughter at the situation. You really felt bad, you did honestly, but with all the overwhelming emotions you couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m...sorry. I didn’t know he was going to visit today,” Xiao muttered as he pressed his hand into his face and groaned at the embarrassing moment. You could see the tips of his ears were getting redder by the second which made you chuckle. For such a fearsome Yaksha he was really cute sometimes.

“It’s okay Xiao. I don’t mind. But are you alright?” you stifled the last of your giggles and reached out to pull him closer and remove his hand from his red face before cupping his cheek. He huffed but leaned into your hand. He really was sometimes like a cat.

“Are you hurt? Was I...too forward?” Xiao asked but he still wouldn’t look you in the eye. The floor was very interesting this afternoon. Wood was nice. Wood was good.

“No! It was...nice,” you answered, starting to go a bit pink yourself now before you felt a stinging pain in the corner of your lip, “Ah. I think you might accidently bit my lip though.”

“I see,” Xiao was now looking at you with his piercing eyes as he watched your small pink tongue brush over the corner of your bottom lip. His attention began to focus on that small part as the world seem to narrow down. Just the two of you. But unlike when you both would lie on top of the inn and watch the sun go down he felt hungry.

“Do you-”

Before you could ask anything Xiao suddenly pounced and pressed his lips against yours in a heated kiss. He took you by surprise but you quickly recovered as you gripped the purple ribbon on his back and yanked him forward as his hands slammed against the railing, trapping you. You felt his tongue press against your lips as you slowly opened them to let him in. It was overwhelming and you were sure if you hadn’t been grabbing onto the purple ribbon you would have fell over but then a sudden deep rumble snapped you out of your trance.

“Xiao? Are you...Are you purring?” you giggled when you got a tiny but of separation from the lack of air but he frowned at you, really it looked more like a pout, before leaning over once again.  Just barely brushing over your lips as he whispered

“Meow”

This isn’t even OOC anymore. I feel like I’m writing a fucking k-drama right now, what am I doing anymore? English? Huh? I do not compute.

I’ve just awakened something in me with Cat! Xiao and I am flying with it (and casually ignoring lore. Isn’t he a bird?). Heading straight for the stratosphere and you cannot stop me. Just gonna hide away in shame now don’t look at me.

Okay. Time to commit sleep for uh 2 hours lol. I’m really tired but I feel kinda proud of myself haha. Tomorrow’s fics are going to be Venti, Lisa and Diluc pairing, and Venti and Barbara pairing. Good night!

Oh, and yes there is a lot more Xiao content to come and uhh might continue this cat!xiao idea. Unless that’s too weird. I’m sorry don’t shame me pls 😰

my god tumble just work. i dont want to deal with you and your tags. 

[rayofsunas]

pretending you’re not his s/o. [1]

A/n: happy Thursday!! whew, the week is almost over thank goodness. I hope you’re all doing well and thank you for being patient while I knock out these requests <333 Scaramouche’s is long for obvious reasons (I simp) ALSO thank you for 800 followers, I hit that milestone yesterday ahagdwcsh omg I’m growing so much wtf. thank you all :) <33 

Summary: the boys having to pretend their s/o is their secretary, maid, friend, etc. (someone other than their s/o)

Parings: Childe/Reader, Venti/Reader, Kaeya/Reader, Diluc/Reader, Albedo/Reader, Aether/Reader, Xiao/Reader, Chongyun/Reader, Xingqiu/Reader, Scaramouche/Reader, Razor/Reader, Bennett/Reader, Zhongli (fem and gn mixed)

Warnings: violence tbh (in Scara’s especially chile), swearing, crack, angst?, fluff

Word count: 1.7k

Requested by bestie @mintydump​ 

Refuses (tells people you’re his s/o and compromises the mission)

Childe: for some odd reason, he was sent out by the Tsaritsa to retrieve a man who was impersonating one of the eleven harbingers and you were to go along. she said men were much more willing to follow along, if there was a beautiful woman promising affection, etc. the only problem was, to win over the impersonator, you had to pretend to be Childe’s co-worker. he hated this idea, and the minute he left, he reassured you he would not call you his partner unless it was romantically. so hell yeah, he’ll compromise the mission and will return without the impersonator. he does not care, you’re not his co-worker. he’ll just be like, “sorry, next time send me alone.”

Venti: jean why... ofc you'd be great company duh, but why did you need to be his babysitter on this expedition?!? sure, Venti may look like a child, but this was stupid! he’s loose-lipped anyways, so he’ll accidentally let it slip to whoever that you’re not his babysitter and that you’re his s/o. he’ll be like, “oops.” with the biggest shit-eating grin. he doesn’t care though, you’re not his babysitter grrr. 

Razor: he also accidentally lets it slip you’re his s/o. hunters were after him and his friends, you included (you’re human, he considers you family though, therefore wolf) and he just yells, “don’t touch my mate, GRRR” before ya know, ending them lmao. it never crossed his mind that maybe it wasn’t in his/your best interest to say what you were to him. other hunters could be nearby listening and then target you at a later date. but, tbh he will worry about that another day. as long as you’re safe now, he’ll always be there to protect you. 

Refuses (he doesn’t refuse the mission, but he refuses calling you someone other than his s/o/he won’t say if you’re his s/o or not.) 

Kaeya: he definitely won’t be calling you anything other than his s/o but he also won’t offer this mission to anyone else. he’s more than capable and he can do this without you having to be in danger too. if someone asks who you are, he’ll just cooly respond with, “none of your business.” and move on. he’ll use that whenever someone asks who you are. even if someone gets a little pushy, he won’t use anything to clue them of your relationship.

Xingqiu: he was supposed to borrow steal a book from someone. he needed it for personal purposes lol; it would be great for his collection. and from his understanding, the person who has it wasn’t using it. though you were confused on why he needed to break into somewhere to retrieve it. you just happened to be with him when he broke in, he says it was an accident that you were there, but tbh it’s all part of the thrill and his mischievousness. despite Chongyun warning him that he shouldn’t have brought you, he still did. and when the person who owns the book whips out a sword and then asks why you were brought along if you seemed timid and unreluctant to steal, Xingqiu’s response is, “well she’s my girlfriend! duh.” cue deadpan. legit no hesitation.

Scaramouche: this mission is happening no matter what. the Tsaritsa’s life is on the line; highly trained assassins from all over Teyvat were sent into Snezhnayan territory to kill her. she could protect herself, but Scaramouche was feeling feverish for battle; he was one of the more unhinged and dangerous harbingers, she entrusted this task upon him. he never turned down a mission. plus, it’s your fault you’re even here. why are you here again!? he left you home in Inazuma days ago. also... who the hell was looking after your daughter if not you...?? when you caught up with him once he was well away from Liyue Harbor’s docks (so he couldn’t force you to get back onto the ship, smart) you told him you weren’t some housewife and you missed the thrill of adventure, so you snuck on the ship too. he wasn’t sure how you got on in the first place without alerting The Kanjobugyo (you’ve snuck out before, so he’s told them not to let you leave, though he assumed you used your former title of a Fatui to gain clearance) let’s just say he’s not happy you’re here, but he’s not turning back now, he’s determined to end this. in the end, he kills all the assassins (ofc). on your way back to Liyue Harbor, arguing about why you’re here (you’re losing), another assassin comes out of the shadows; intent on killing the both of you. he’d managed to grab the end of your hair in his fist and was going to slit your throat. Scaramouche will say, “don’t touch my wife, you insolent scum.” he doesn’t have a problem telling those who have a death wish of your intimate relationship, because they’ll die in the end anyway; therefore to him, it’d be like they never knew. 

Zhongli: not many people know you’re his s/o anyways, so if he has something to do, especially dangerous you’re not coming along. he’ll make sure of that. on missions or something, he refuses to call you anything other than his s/o, but if he can’t/wants to keep it private he’ll call you by your name. if you’re facing off against someone, he’ll be like, “y/n, please watch out, I’ll handle this.” he never wants to put you in danger, and tbh even someone threatening who knows your name is a risk, but if they ever found out that you were not only his s/o but the s/o of an Archon? yeah, you’d be on a hit list just like him. 

Accepts (he will do this and won’t ask any questions)

Diluc: sorry y’all, but once this is discussed in full and you agree, he’s going to accept it. this mission is important. it’s not often people travel into Inazuma, so he was very lucky his wine is sold there and that he has a popular, well-known name. shipments of his wine weren’t making it into the borders and he was to find the culprit behind it; someone was stealing obviously. you were to go along with a few other soldiers and when jean told him it would be safer to call you his maid and not his fiancé, he agreed. you wouldn’t be a target that way. if anyone wonders why he took his maid, he’ll just say, “she’s to travel everywhere with me.” don’t worry, after the missions over he’ll reassure you he doesn’t think of you as his maid, definitely not. he’ll apologize profusely. “please don’t think of yourself that way, you’re not my maid, I adore you very much, sweetheart.”

Xiao: he already doesn’t go around calling you his wife or telling just anyone, only the Archons know and the fallen Yaksha once knew (you’re one of the female Yaksha) so being talked into this wasn’t a big deal at all. before, he didn’t run around Liyue telling people about your relationship because you both enjoyed the privacy. but now, having to call you his fellow Yaksha who’s been working alongside him for centuries, kinda feels like he’s ignoring or not acknowledging you. sure, you do hold the same titles (Yaksha) and yes you’ve known eachother for centuries, but really, you’ve been together for centuries. if you’re not bothered, then he doesn’t mind. but if you are? he’s very apologetic and will repay you in some way. “you’re not a weakling, you have no reason to worry.” he needs to do this task, he’ll never turn away from the people and if you have to be known as your Yaksha title to him and others, so be it. 

Chongyun: it’s not that he doesn’t want to call you his s/o. it’s just he’s a quiet guy and never has told anyone about your relationship; only Xingqiu knows. so he has no problem introducing you as his friend to absolute strangers, especially if you’re okay with it. if you’re not and tell him, he’ll be sure to never call you a friend again. he’s really looking out for your safety, people can be two-faced as he’s learned from Xingqiu’s fantasy books. he wants to protect and keep you safe, and if you need to be addressed as his friends a few times then that’s how it’s going to go. 

Accepts (he’ll accept but he has so many questions on why and hates it)

Albedo: he will accept if there’s a logical reason. for example, if you absolutely need to come because you’re his assistant or something and can offer your expertise, he will accept. but if you have no need? you’re not coming, please stay home. the whole time, he hates this. yes, you’re his assistant irl, but you’re his s/o, not just an assistant. it makes him sick that he has to call you that tbh, even if it’s your occupation. but it’s necessary for a lot of reasons you two have already discussed. after the mission is complete, he’s never going to stop apologizing. “love, please do not take what I said to heart, you’re not just an assistant.”

Aether: he has to be talked into this a lot. once kaeya and jean tell him the seriousness and importance of seeing his sister again, especially after all they’ve discovered about her, he’ll agree. no matter how much he hates calling you his travel partner, he has to. his sister has turned to the dark side for whatever reason and this meeting already is risky enough. if she finds out you’re his girlfriend, who knows how she’ll react; she’s very unpredictable now, a little unhinged even. but it does hurt to have to call you that, let’s be real. he never wants to say or hear that ever again.

Bennett: he knows he’s quite unfortunate, so you going with him on expeditions is just stupid and you could face something awful due to his bad luck. you go either way though, what a good s/o :) he almost slips a few times, especially facing off against a few lowlife Fatui. but then you remind him of the dangers of doing that and you’re immediately just a friend/member of Benny's Adventure Team. pls, he hates this so much, like why can’t he call you what you are?!? he’s constantly like, “well why can’t I just say you’re my s/o already? they won’t harm you as long as I’m here!” ?!?!?!? HE JUST DID?!?!?!?!

Venti x Male! Dendro Archon! Reader

Part 8, NSFW warning, Minors DNI

—————◆◇◆—————

                 Venti gently dried his still dripping wet hair with a [f/c] towel, another towel wrapped around his waist; he just finished taking a shower in [y/n]'s bathroom.

"It even smells like him..." Venti softly say as he grabbed his already washed and dried clothes that was neatly folded and placed in one of the shelves.

"I'll wear my cape later." He muttered to himself as he slowly got change.

He's finally done changing and he just need to wrap a towel around his hair.

"Done~!" He cheered as he took one last glance at the bathroom mirror and gave himself a wink, "Looking good Barbatos~" he mused to himself.

He twisted the doorknob and opened the bathroom doors and got out, "I'm done!" He called and [y/n]'s voice was heard from the bedroom, "You sure did take your time~ but it's okay lol."

Venti walked out the bathroom and his eyes landed on [y/n] who was currently doing some paperwork on his bedroom office table

"I took my time cuz just like we always say, we all have the time of the world." Venti mused as he casually plopped down on to the bed.

"True~" [y/n] agreed, his eyes still focused on the said paper on his desk.

Venti's eyes landed on to the clock that was on the wall; 4:30 in the afternoon, it says.

"Huh... We almost sleep for 17 hours or so..." Venti say and [y/n] let out a laugh, "That was the first time I've slept in.... Three hundred years." The Dendro Archon laughed and Venti deadpanned at him.

"Did you get good sleep though?"

[Y/n] looked at Venti with a soft smile and Venti felt cupid's arrow hit his heart.

"The best one I've had in years."

Venti laughed as pink dusted his cheeks, "When did you get so charming?" He mused and [y/n] just chuckled, "What do you mean? I have always been this charming?" He teased and Venti covered his rosy cheeks with his hands, "That... That I have to agree." He smiled underneath his hands and [y/n] just lightly chuckled.

Venti placed down the book he was reading with a sigh, the towel around his hair is gone and his hair is still a mess and still not fully dry; No Longer Human by Dazai Osamu the book title says; he decided to read it since it was in [y/n]'s bedside desk.

"There's an extra bookmark in the drawer, you can use that." [Y/n] said and Venti opened the drawer and rummaged through it and eventually found a dark green bookmark, no designs whatsoever, as long as it saves the page you last read then that is all that matters.

Venti slipped the bookmark into the current page he was reading, finally noticing an [f/c] bookmark placed near the last pages of the book; he placed down the book back into the drawer and then looked at the Dendro Archon who was busy doing paperworks, Venti frowned.

"Why are you working?" Venti sternly said and [y/n]'s hand movement abruptly stopped as the taller male's body flinched.

"I-I just need to finish this—" [y/n] nervously say and Venti sighed as he approached [y/n] and the latter just looked at him curiously.

Venti stands behind the Dendro Archon and decided to give the said man's tensed shoulders a small massage, [y/n] let out a sigh of relief as he felt his shoulders relaxed.

"[y/n] please take a break." Venti deadpanned and [y/n] hummed as he closed his eyes, feeling Venti's hands work wonders to his shoulders.

"Just let me fini—"

"No."

"It's just a sma—"

"Still no." Venti sternly said and [y/n] deadpanned.

"Please?" [Y/n] begged and Venti can only watch in amusement, I mean...

The Dendro Archon, someone who ruled over the City of Scholars, the god of knowledge, someone the people see as calm, collected, intimidating person; is begging to him?

Whoah that paragraph had a different tone to it;)

Venti groaned and walked and stand beside [y/n] now, the latter just looking at him in confusion.

Red bloomed on the Dendro Archon's cheeks as he felt Venti sat on his lap; with Venti's back facing the table and Venti facing [y/n], with Venti's hands loosely placed on the Dendro Archon's shoulders.

"Working while having guest over? That's rude." Venti said as he booped the taller male's nose and Venti can only swoon internally as [y/n] closed his eyes as he booped his nose.

'cute' Venti thought before deciding to give the other man a smirk and in which the latter could only look at him nervously.

Ah fuxk I just realized I have forgotten to write your pov LMAO my bad.

'why is he smirking at me..' [y/n] thought as he watched Venti leaned his face close enough for their noses to touch, [y/n] can feel his cheeks starting to heat up from how close they are.

"On second thought..." Venti hummed and [y/n] can only look at him curiously, pink still present on both of their faces.

"I'm kinda starving..." Venti mused and [y/n] slightly panicked, "you're hungry? Do you want to grab something to eat downstai—" he was cut off as he fe Venti cupped his cheeks, with his thumbs caressing his sharp jawline, their lips just an inch away from each other.

"Why go downstairs to grab food when there's food right here?" Venti teased and he can only laugh lightly as [y/n]'s became even more red and a small red rose bloomed on the said man's nose.

"Thank you for the food~" Venti hummed as he closed the gap between them.

[Y/n].exe has stopped working...

[Y/n]'s mind went blank as he felt Venti's lips crashed into his, it took awhile for him to process what is happening but he eventually melted into the kiss.

He love the way Venti held his face so lovingly, he slowly wrapped his arms around the smaller man's waist and slightly bring them closer and Venti tilted his head a little bit so that they could be closer.

[Y/n] felt Venti's tongue tickle his lower lip and he doesn't know what to do since this is the first time he has kissed someone.

'I think he wants me to open my mouth slightly...', he thought and so he did.

He felt Venti slid his tongue into his mouth, their teeth slightly grazing each other.

He felt Venti ran his fingers through his [h/c] locks, tugging it slightly making him groan into the kiss.

The two archons kissed each other like a man dying of thirst, they moaned to each other's touches, the way Venti felt [y/n]'s hand was placed on his upper back to pull him closer or the way Venti's hands are wrapped around the taller male's neck.

Desperately trying to bring as much closer as possible.

They pulled away from each other, panting heavily from the lack of air.

Venti placed a kissed on the corner of the other man's lips before trailing down towards [y/n]'s jaws.

'oh celestia... I'm so lucky...' Venti thought as he placed a chaste kiss on [y/n]'s sharp jawline before slowly trailing down to his neck, he stopped and looked at [y/n] who was looking at him confused on why he stopped.

"Can I...?" Venti asked and [y/n] nodded and given him consent.

Venti unbuttoned the buttons near his neck or collar while [y/n] helped him by loosening his tie.

'hot...' Venti thought.

[Y/n] tilted his neck and Venti licked his lips before kissing [y/n] again on the lips, Venti then slowly trailed down the the taller man's neck and [y/n] let out a soft moan as he felt the bard suck on a patch of skin, Venti felt goosebumps run in his skin as he heard the other man moan.

"Nggh~ a Venti..." [Y/n] softly moans out as he felt the bard nip his neck, Venti parts away from the other man's skin before kissing the Dendro Archon once more, this time with more passion and a little bit of lust.

Tongues dancing around each other, soft pants, moans and groans can be heard from the two men, their arms caressing each other; Venti's hand is placed directly on the Dendro Archon's chest while the other is caressing the said man's torso, touching his abs through his shirt while [y/n] opt to wrapped his hands around the bard's neck, gently of course.

Their lips parts from each other and the bard gave [y/n] a soft smile before peppering the taller male's face with small kisses and making the latter giggle, "I wanna continue but we're going too fast, I want to take it slow..." Venti murmured softly and [y/n] nodded in understanding, "It's okay, we have all the time in the world." [Y/n] smiled as he cupped the smaller man's cheeks before giving him a short yet chaste kiss.

"Let's go grab something to eat doofus." [Y/n] said and Venti gave him a small smirk and in which the Dendro Archon just gave him an eye roll and flicked the bard's forehead.

"Ow!" Venti whined as he rubbed his forehead and a small pout on his face, "With real food love."

"Okay okay~"

—————◆◇◆—————

You guys thought it was a smut but no! It was me! Dio!

Jkjk, I'll try to avoid writing NSFW chapters as possible and focus on the two Archons story.

I'll maybe write smuts as special chapters that doesn't necessarily play a huge role to the story—

And also, I'm a sucker for domestic fluff aaaGH—

AAHH VENTI WHY DIDN'T YOU COME HOME TO ME?!?! *sobs*

I started genshin during Venti's rerun and I still didn't know what banners are and aaahh I wasn't able to get himmm.

to remember / to forget

pairing/s: painter!zhongli x reader

sypnosis: he watched as the world goes on, with new generations and eras passing by. in the generation where humans are no longer needed archons and visions, he met you once more.

warning/s: death, unrequited love

penpal: i’m suffering from writer’s block on some requested fics and as much as i hate in doing this, i have to focus on other requested fics while waiting for my brain to function for the ones i’m having a hard time with. hope you guys understand!

note: pls take note that the events mentioned in this story doesn’t actually happen in-game LOL

“say, zhongli,” you spoke softly to your spouse, causing him to hum in response. “if i... if i’m no longer as radiant as the glaze lilies in full bloom, would you still love me as i am?”

the two of you were laying down on your shared bed, exhausted from a long day from your works.

zhongli frowns. “what made you question that, my love?”

you stayed silent for a few minutes before shaking your head. “forget what i have asked, goodnight zhongli.” before zhongli could speak up, you immediately turned away from him to sleep.

he wanted to answer that question.

it was a tragic night.

one moment, the two of you were taking a night stroll in guili plains. before he knew it, the both of you got ambushed by the abyss.

“don’t... don’t cry, zhongli,” you whispered, cupping his cheeks as tears starts to run down from his eyes. “i’m sorry that i have to leave like the rest.”

the icicle impaled through your stomach will forever haunt the archon.

he shook his head in response, grabbing your one hand and kiss your knuckles. “don’t be sorry, my love. just stay awake for me, please. i’ll take you back to wangshu inn— they’ll... they’ll find a way to heal you, okay?”

you cried in pain when zhongli tried to carry you. “maybe... maybe in another life,” you breathed out, slowly closing your eyes as you start to feel darkness consuming your vision.

“maybe in another life, we can be together once more.”

in the new century of teyvat, it was different than the one he was grown customed to. people nowadays no longer rely on their archons or visions ever since the celestia was overthrowned by the traveler and the archons.

despite the present now being peaceful, zhongli wanted to experience this with you.

after your death, he decided to practice painting.

“i wanted to paint the face of my lover,” he explained when venti, the anemo archon, asked of zhongli’s reason for trying out a new skill. “it would be... a shame if i were to forget what the love of my life looks like.”

and after many years of practice and painting, he finally became a wonderful painter.

as much as he’s aware of the benefits, he always took down his people’s requests in doing portraits of them, no matter the mora given by them. all he wants to paint are you and the memories he cherished in his time.

his paintings of you somehow became famous in liyue and stayed in the ancient museums of the prosperous city until now.

“i must say, i’m quite envious of how popular you are with your silly paintings,” venti commented as he and zhongli hung out in a cafe booth near to where his paintings are displayed. “it’s such a shame that you went anonymous with it.” he pouted.

zhongli smiled lightly at the bard. “it was for the best. i wouldn’t want anyone to cause some conspiracy regarding to my age.”

despite teyvat growing and changing, the only thing that hadn’t change was the fact that the archons are still living and breathing to this day. however, venti was the only person he always kept in touch with.

the fate of what happened to the other archons right now was nothing but a mystery to him.

venti sighed. “i guess i couldn’t blame you. though, i’m not gonna li—”

“oh my, these paintings look beautiful.”

zhongli felt his heart dropped at the familiar voice. he ignored how venti too had stopped talking from the stranger not too far away from where they are.

when he turns around, he saw you in tears.

he felt his feet dragging his own body to where you are, still staring at you as if you were a ghost.

you noticed zhongli’s presence and smile apologetically. “oh dear— forgive me, i was just... i was just in tears because i was touched by the paintings.” you spoke up, wiping your tears.

after so many years of waiting, you have finally reincarnated.

he couldn’t believe how you’re still alive and breathing, the image of your dead body is now long gone and had faded to the back of his mind.

he wanted to tell so many things to you, yet it felt like words died in his throat.

before he could speak up, he saw another familiar figure.

“honey, why are you crying? did you miss me so much?” childe asked you as he hurriedly wipes your tears in concern.

you shook your head in response, laughing lightly at your husband’s reaction. “i’m alright, love— i was just feeling emotional from the paintings, that’s all.” you explained.

childe looks up at the paintings. “i see.. they kinda look like you, you know?” he pointed out.

you look up at the paintings as well, still smiling at the sight. “i think your eyes have a problem, love,”

“how could i be as beautiful as the person in a beautiful painting?”

zhongli felt tears forming in his eyes but prevented them from falling, watching the scene of you and childe together with a sad smile plastered on his face.

you’re wrong, y/n. zhongli thought, slowly turning away and head back towards to where venti is.

you’re still the most beautiful person to me.

Part1  part4

Under an empty sky, Teyvat awoke in an abysmal fog.

Venti awoke screaming in Angel's Share, as Diluc did his best to calm the bard despite his own dreams haunting him. The Knights of Favonius were recalled to inside the walls until something changed. Even then, no one stayed out longer than absolutely necessary.

In Liyue, even the adepti and Zhongli himself were unwilling to brave whatever lay within the fog. The day spent in joint isolation as he attempted to forget the scattered pieces of his dream from the night before as Xiao cowered next to him.

In Inazuma; the Raiden Shogun didn't wake at all. Doctors were rushed by anxious soldiers to awake their archon. Sara was put in charge until their leader awoke. The islands were put on total lock down, none dared to leave the forts and the capital.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the fog; forests of alien fauna appeared in what were once fields near Mondstadt and Liyue. In the sea between Dragonspine and Inazuma, an equally strange island appeared.

Soon enough, the fog cleared; only to reveal the new locations. Though none had stumbled on the island by chance, small bands were sent cautiously to investigate the new forests. They never came back. Only the sound of fear inducing drums came from somewhere deep within. It was quickly decided they weren't worth the effort of mapping without a worthwhile reason.

'Days' slowly passed as sightings came in. Mondstadt watched in worry as figures covered in primitive fur cloaks creeped closer by the day.

Liyue tries to ignore as blurry creatures watch them from treelines that weren't there yesterday.

Inazuma loses ships in droves to unknown things from the ocean. Tentacles and teeth.

Both harbors see strange ships traveling in the mist.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first to suffer is Inazuma. A minor outpost on a western island was anxiously waiting in their encampment, just as they had for some time now. A watchman cried from the walls, summoning the commander. She and her soldiers watched as the ships drew closer, finally seen clearly for the first time. There were three total, spiraled symbols weaved into the sails sending sharp pains into their minds. A horn was blown. Then two more.

The ships crash into the shoreline, beaching themselves as howling warriors grabbed armaments and charged the gate. The defending soldiers move with a start, finally realizing their situation.

Torches were thrown at the wooden walls and gates, soon giving the invaders access as they burned down. Axes were thrown, taking enough of the soldiers that the formation was already weakened. A massive man with bear skins and two equally imposing axes charges the line, sending the soldiers scattering in panic in a desperate attempt to not be cut in half. The others followed their line breaker, charging forward for easy kills before the defenders can regroup.

The Inazumans quickly learn they have to move, the savages don't use as precise techniques as theirs, relying on brutality and momentum to kill quickly. Their shields are thick enough their swords can't pierce easily, soldiers fighting shoulder to shoulder in an attempt to fight two on one.

The captain is the first to strike a blow, darting forward to slice into a bearded man's belly as he defends himself against her underling.

A black tar-like substance is all that comes out. The warrior swings his axe in a back hand without even flinching, roughly cleaving through her neck. The soldier screams as he watches his leader fall, before the axe comes back in an overhead to be embedded in his skull. Victorious shouts ring through the air as the garrison crumbles.

Inazuma city can just see the smoke on the horizon as the fort is burned and pillaged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strange howls reverberated through the air around Liyue as the citizens watched the fog anxiously. Skittering, slithering, and indescribable sounds came on the wind. Sometimes they were far enough that they were only another reminder of their bleak situation.

And sometimes they could be heard just beyond eyesight.

From within the Jade Chamber, Ningguang and her staff holed up, sparing as many rooms as they could in the hopes some would be safe with them. Zhongli, Xiao, and Hu Tao were among them, doing what they could to aid in relieving stress in their own ways. Truth be told-they weren't helping as much as they wished.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a foreign forest, a tall and lithe figure watches from tree branches. Covered in furs and bones, she watches a young brunette in red and white peer into the dark woods along with two of the local guards. Disjointed, chaotic thoughts echo in her head excitedly.

Two swordsmen, an archer, easy.. hungry, bored-

They walk along the edge, discussing the strange forest; the one in the branches follows them. Enter, come in please please please-BIRD the one in the trees grabs a sparrow from the air as it passes her, biting in with a wet crunch. A short while later the scouts leave, eliciting a disappointed whine from the woman in the branches as her talons pick feathers from her serrated teeth. Don't leave… fun to watch… Her whole body twitches. Should she stalk them for a while? That'd be fun..

No, sister said to stay clear until the tribe's ready.

Her head swivels as she hears a boar in the underbrush below. She grins as she jumps down the tree like some sort of demented squirrel.

Jump off the tree, twist mid air, fall arms first. Grab a branch, swing onto the next, BOAR-she throws herself into the air, crashing onto the creature's back. It doesn't have a chance to regain itself before she cuts its throat with her knife. For once. Her sister made it clear she'd hang her by the ankles again if she wasted good blood by tearing into another game animal's throat with her own teeth.

Her sister never lets her have any fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't proofread this as well as the other parts so if something seems funky in the bad way just wander over to my asks or comments and smack me over the head pls ty💖

***MAJOR INAZUMA ARCHON QUEST SPOILERS***

ok y'all i'm about to freak the fuck out here. everything that went down in that quest was crazy. but firstly i'm happy that everyone got their visions back :))) (and if you go around and talk to those three people who lost their visions they give you stuff)

1. First on screen character death. I won't say who in case people scrolling accidentally see, but that was absolutely terrifying. And I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that the Fatui were behind the Vision Hunt Decree. Also finding out that Musoujin Gorge was created by a single slash of Ei's sword? damn. (kinda hot ngl)

2. That whole scene when we were walking out of the fight and it was in Paimon's(?) POV was so creepy but so cool. And that tapping thing we had to do? What was that all about?

3. I feel like they foreshadowed the whole "puppet" thing way back when we first encountered Maguu Kenki in the islands event. Which is awesome symbolism. But when Yae said that Ei (or Baal, I can't keep track lol) made a "test puppet," I thought she was gonna say that was how Maguu Kenki was created. BUT NO IT WAS FUCKING SCARAMOUCHE LIKE WTF. so basically he's not really human? and I wonder how many (if any) of the harbingers/the Tsaritsa know about this. my god.

4. Watatsumi island is gorgeous.

5. Yae was the real goat of this whole thing.

6. Kazuha looked so sad at the end i stg i was gonna cry. BUT HE JUST FUCKING WENT FOR IT BACK THERE OMG GOOD FOR HIM

7. I was shook when the Traveller actually spoke

8. IS TEPPEI OKAY? I tried to find him after the quest was over but couldn't. [EDIT: well, he died and now i'm sad. i wasn't 100% sure but yeah it was confirmed 😭]

9. It's interesting to see how the archons' perspectives differ from human perspectives and how they act based on that. I think Zhongli and Ei are similar in that they both seemed pretty far removed from their people, but in the end Zhongli trusted humans to take care of Liyue, and Ei acted in sort of an opposite manner. Venti, despite his laissez-faire attitude toward ruling, seems more in touch with the people of Mondstadt since he interacts with them directly and kind of just lives among them a lot of the time. Actually, Zhongli seems like he's more in touch now since he works at the funeral parlor. I haven't done the Raiden Shogun's story quest yet so I'm interested to see how she'll act moving forward, esp now that her gnosis has been given away (thank you Yae btw).

10. I think this is the first time they compared a gnosis to a chess piece and I know a lot of people were speculating about the Archons possibly being pawns (or "puppets" if you will) for whoever is actually in charge

11. Oh and by the way I still don't condone Ei's actions with the Vision Hunt Decree, it's unacceptable to hurt and control people no matter how long you've lived or what your intentions are.

k thanks for reading my rant byeeeee

[ellitx]

Anon said: I said those were my last asks, but I think I lied about that lol. You encouraged me to come back. Ahem, let me have a crack at the Angel!Reader and Evil God Venti. Sorry for any typos or other weirdness. I’m tired lol. 

submission

NSFW under the cut

Venti knows of Reader from her dutifully completing her work to her God.  A beauty like hers is wasted on work alone, he thinks. Her hair should flow in the wind, she should laugh and bask in the sun with him instead of constant thankless work.

He stops her on her route one day. He offers her a drink for all her hard work. Venti uses this chance to bring her close to him, to whisper words of praise, love, and appreciation in her ear. She’s never felt this appreciated or loved before, it stirs warm foreign feelings in her chest. 

That encounter was all she can think of as she continues her work, even changing her route to encounter him. Each encounter leaves her wanting more, and Venti grows bolder; his touches start to longer, chaste kisses on the cheek that made her wish he kissed her lips instead… It came to a boiling point when more work was shoved into her arms, her God barely acknowledging her. After all, there’s work to be done. Reader leaves her old world behind to join Venti’s, a world where she feels loved and appreciated.  ‘About time’, he thinks, but the wait is worth it.  He takes her clothes off, kissing her neck and shoulders to put her at ease as his hands caress the sides of her body. Then he lies down, pulling her down until her cunt is lined up to his mouth, then he finally feasts, to finally savor the taste of an angel so pure, sweeter than his favorite cider.  Reader has never felt these sensations before, a hand grips his hair, while the other muffles the moans coming from her mouth. Her hips desperately buck into his eager mouth, wishing his tongue would go deeper. Such acts are not befitting of an angel, which is partially why she stifles her moans, but Venti finds that unacceptable… Her moans turn to screams when he sneaks his fingers in and curls them perfectly.

He stops serving her with his tongue, his fingers sliding in and out of her hole making her shudder and gasp. Unbeknownst to her, her nectar is dripping down to his chin, sliding down his neck.

“Look at me.” He commands of her. 

She does, doing her best not to shut her eyes from the pleasure or to look away from the lust in his eyes. He tells her if she wanted to cum, then she better start begging. 

She starts to chant his name as if it were a mantra. He rewards her by flicking her clit with his tongue. Then she tells him how much she needs him, that she wants him, and she cannot live life as she used to when he gave her warmth and passion. His face is buried in between her legs, greedily devouring her slick, as much as he could lap up. Such sweetness should not go to waste.

Little did she know she awoke a beast inside her new God. He’s only had a taste of something so pure and now wants more. 

ANOOOOONNNNNN!!!

My skin is clear. My crops are growing. My fellow simps, our saviour smut anon has served us a wonderful banquet for us to dine in🍴

Pls all your asks are just *chefs kiss* 😩✋👌✨

First Loves

*(A/N): Rex Lapis isn’t dead to the public in this. He’s very much alive and thriving. Also the reader, you, is very oblivious. Just keep that in mind.

The previous Geo Archon wasn’t one to pry into another person’s secrets. But when the person in question was his wife, he couldn’t help but be curious. And so, his thoughts kept returning to the events two nights ago, during dinner with you.

Somehow the topic of conversation at the dinner table had landed on both of your past loves. When he had revealed that you were his first and final love, you had found it hard to believe that a man like him hadn’t dated anyone before marrying you. But it wasn’t like him to lie, and when he swore on the life of Rex Lapis that he was, indeed, telling the truth, you had no reason to question the validity of his statement any further.

However, it was when he had asked you about your first love, that you had acted suspiciously, keeping a tight lip. You suggested the two of you go out for dessert to avoid answering his question, and changed the topic whenever he tried to bring it up again later that night.

Was it someone in Mondstadt? Maybe he could enlist the help of Venti to find out.

But before he could dwell on the topic any longer, Childe walked into the parlor, breaking away his concentration.

Childe, noting Zhongli’s unconscious frown, asked him, “Are you still trying to figure out who (Y/N)’s first love is?”

“Yes.” The Geo Archon replied, having no reason to lie to his friend.

“You know, I could tell you.” Childe grinned, making Zhongli confused. “I know who it is.”

“How do you know?”

“You know that time she got really drunk with Venti?”

Zhongli nodded, remembering the last time his fellow archon and friend had visited Liyue. Venti had brought multiple bottles of dandelion wine, after hearing from Zhongli that you had never tried it before. He didn’t think that it would have ended with you and Venti passed out on the living room floor.

“Well, they made a bet that whoever got drunk first would have to tell the other a secret. And since they both got drunk around the same time, they just blurted it out on the spot.” Childe, having the luck of being in the right place at the right time, and not being drunk, clearly heard both their secrets that night.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you knew, then?”

“Oh, (Y/N) found out I knew and threatened me not to tell anyone else. Especially you.”

Zhongli couldn’t help but narrow his eyes at the man. “Then what was the point of telling me all of this?”

Childe just smirked. “Just that I could tell you. But I know how important promises are to you.”

_____

After kicking Childe out of his office, Zhongli headed home to you.

“Hope you’re hungry, I made your favorite!” You exclaimed seeing him enter through the door. You were about to head back into the kitchen to grab some drinks when you stopped, seeing a small frown adorning his face.

“Zhongli, what’s wrong?”

Your husband walks closer to you, grabbing your hands in his. “Could you tell me who your first love is?”

Your eyes widened, giving him an amused look. “Is this what’s got you all down?” When he nodded, you let out a small laugh. “If this was that serious to you, I would’ve told you sooner. Alright, I’ll tell you. But you have to promise not to laugh okay?”

“I assure you, I won’t.” If anything, Zhongli was going to have a “nice chat” with the person, after all the stress they had caused him.

You sighed, before opening your mouth. “My first love is...” You trailed off, mumbling the rest of your sentence.

Zhongli unconsciously leaned in closer to hear clearly. “Come again?”

“I said...” you murmured the rest again.

He gave you a look, knowing you were doing it on purpose.

“Fine! It’s the Geo Archon statue!”

Zhongli blinked his eyes at your words, while you hid your blushing face in your hands.

“Don’t look at me like that. I know it’s embarrassing. You can’t even see his face and I fell in love with the guy. But I was young and he looked so cool just sitting there, and his body...” Your face burnt up, remembering the thoughts you had whenever you visited the Geo Archon statue.

Zhongli was now smiling blindingly, void of any hint of the frown he was sporting earlier. Many years back his Anemo friend, Venti, had convinced him to turn into his human form for his statue, saying that his dragon form was too intimidating. And so, he had reluctantly posed in his human form, choosing to cover his face with his hood to conceal his identity. After the final statue had come out and he unexpectedly saw that half of his body was exposed for the entirety of Liyue, not to mention Teyvat, to see, he had been silently cursing the Anemo archon’s persuasive skills ever since.

But now, upon seeing your flustered state, he decided that maybe it hadn’t been a bad decision after all.

“So you fell in love his physical attributes?” Zhongli pursed his lips, trying not to laugh.

“No! I mean, yeah he’s beautiful physically, of course. But I also liked him because of how he protected Liyue for so long, and continues to do so.”

Zhongli tried not to smile at your embarrassment. Quickly hiding his laugh with a cough, he composed his face. “Well, I’m flattered tha- I mean, I’m sure Rex Lapis would be flattered to know that he’s the first love of a beautiful maiden.”

“Yeah right. He probably doesn’t even know I exist. Probably has some gorgeous goddess. But, that’s how my first love ended. And then there wasn’t anyone else until I met you.” You shrugged nonchalantly, your feelings for the Geo Archon being in the past. “It’s like they say, first loves never work out anyways.”

He grinned, hearing your words. “I think that there some exceptions to the rule.”

“I guess?” You said, continuing to set the table. “But not me, you know? Or else, we wouldn’t be married.”

Zhongli seemed to be in a significantly better mood afterwards, smiling at you and watching you with soft eyes all throughout dinner. And when he suggested taking a walk around town and grab some dessert along the way, he held onto you tighter and closer than he normally did out in public.

“You know, I have been told that I remind people of Rex Lapis.” Zhongli mentioned, as the two of you walked across the bridge.

You examined him, your eyes roaming around his stature. You then shook your head, giving him a small shrug.

“I don’t see it.”

____

*(A/N): lolololol. I had so much fun writing this one! I like to think no one knows about Zhongli’s true identity yet, other than Venti of course, in this fic. But he’ll tell you once he decided to fake die. Idk if you’d let him tho lol. ^^

[dourpeep]

Venti: (strumming wildly on a ukulele that's not mine) "Well that's enough practice for today."

Xingqiu: (to a few friends) "Yes I do write and no you'll never figure out where and what—" "it's smut isn't it" "nO"

Xiao: (in group chat) "I'll end up dying but it's fine that's just how it be sometimes mmhm"

Bennett: "Listen man, my brain doesn't do the thing where you can turn stuff in your mind." (a long moment of silence) "SPACIAL REASONING"

Diluc (to Kaeya): "your heart being calm isn't you calming down it's just the energy drink stopping it slowly mmhm"

Rosaria: "I asked a question and didn't stick around for the answer that's kinda lame ngl"

Yanfei: "I'm surprised that people were complaining lol but also not"

Lisa: "Oh to be a hot mom for the rest of my life"

Zhongli: "It’s an Italian dessert that uses espresso infused cookies (namely lady fingers) and is made by alternating layers of cookie + a light cream, often paired with chocolate as well because it enhances the flavor but not usually in the og dessert, sometimes in the form of shavings. Makes for a light, sweet cake with a hint of coffee"

Albedo again: "I can add insight but currently I'm actually working on some other stuff so I won't"

Childe: "understandable. who's going to be in pain and death?"

Razor: "cheese....gravy....potato."

Noelle: "So it actually, in that sense, would make sense for the date to happen whether it's because genuine interest in the person or interest in the information"

Albedo: "electromagnetic wave manipulation through the creation of electric fields mingling with magnetic fields"

Probably Kaeya: "gotta take advantage of what I've been given"

Childe again: "my inner monologue says stuff and I'm so glad that I don't just flat out say everything"

Sucrose: (after a friend said something dumb) "if you throw a rock at a building you're bound to hit it once"
