Testing my new markers with Furina

(Genshin Impact) Giving Headpats to Furina, Lynette, Arlecchino, Chiori, Lumine, Jean, Eula, Noelle, Ayaka, Sara, Yae, Shenhe, and Xianyun

No one requested this, as for the reason this post exists, the only thing I can give you is this image:

Furina freezes up the moment she feels S/O's hand pick up her hat, only to ruffle her hair.

She squawks for just a moment, quickly blushing and pouting as Furina yanks her hat down.

(Furina) "D-Don't just start patting me out of nowhere!"

Crossing her arms, she looks away, trying to not look bothered about the whole affair.

She finds it highly embarrassing. At least in public.

The moment they're alone and she feels their hand, she closes her eyes and completely relaxes, humming in content.

There's still a blush on her, but it's far more subdued unless S/O starts teasing her about it.

Lynette does not like just anyone rubbing her head due to her cat-like features.

In public, the top of her head in general is completely off limits.

But if it's just her and S/O at home, then she allows it.

In fact, when S/O's hand starts petting her head, she leans into them completely as her eyes close, just like an actual cat.

Her ears twitch a little, but her tail swishes left and right happily.

If they stop too early, Lynette's eyes slowly open and looks at them expectantly.

(Lynette) "...Why did you stop?"

Feeling the warm of their hand allowed Lynette to rest comfortably, and to space out to her heart's content.

Arlecchino did the same thing to comfort many of the children at the Hearth.

Yet she didn't know what to do when S/O did the same, feeling her hair slightly ruffled.

If her S/O was taller (in which case "Dude, you look huge"), she really wouldn't comment on the height difference, but if they were shorter, THEN she'd be surprised they would even attempt it.

Arlecchino doesn't care if it's in private or public, but she would care if they did so in front of her kids.

Because then they'd see that she has someone that can make her comfortable too, which in turn makes them happy.

Seeing their father cared for puts them at ease, making Arlecchino thankful in her own way.

But as for the action itself: she would just talk to them in her usual tone, though with a bit of a "threat" lying underneath.

(Arlecchino) "Did you wish for me to pat your head too, S/O? I might be rougher with you than the others."

Chiori raises an eyerbrow.

(Chiori) "S/O, what are you doing?"

Once they explain themselves, Chiori can't help roll her eyes.

(Chiori) "Did you expect me to get all flustered from that? Psh, it'll take a little more than messing up my hair to do that. Speaking of which, can you fix it for me? I'm a little busy here."

She finds it cute, yeah, but it's not that big of a deal.

Plus, she finds it weird.

Who just goes around, patting their girlfriends' heads unprompted?

Oh well, it's not like this was particularly harmful, so Chiori lets it slide.

But if they do that in front of customers or in public, S/O is dead.

Lumine's body stiffens when S/O's hand ruffles her hair lovingly, before she quickly giggles.

(Lumine) "Hey, stand still!"

She quickly does the same back, though her retaliation is far more playful and destructive.

S/O's hair is an absolute mess now, Lumine giving a cheeky grin back.

(Lumine) "There, now you look better than before!"

It does not take long for the situation to quickly devolve into a tickle fight with both of them on the bed laughing.

Jean takes a moment to register what S/O is doing, but after a few seconds she smiles.

Jean lets her shoulders drop, feeling more at ease by the second.

So this is how Barbara and Klee felt when she did the same.

(Jean) "Your hand feels quite nice, S/O..."

She doesn't realize her own flushed cheeks as her vision becomes slightly hazed with her affection.

If anything, she feels a little sad everytime they pull back.

It was such a relaxing sensation, and honestly made her feel a little sleepy.

Eula's head feels a bit colder to the touch, but her body is rapidly heating up, especially her face.

(Eula) "What do you think you're doing, S/O?"

Hearing their answer, Eula pauses for a moment before responding.

(Eula) "Next time, you should ask for permission instead of rubbing my hair like I'm some sort of child...I don't recall asking you to stop either."

In classic Eula fashion, she doesn't tell them directly that she loves the feeling of their hands.

But she'd be damned if she was going to admit something so embarrassing.

Noelle feels a mixture of pride and embarrassment everytime S/O pats her on the head.

On one hand it felt quite nice, and the gesture was very sweet!

But it made her feel a little childish.

She never voiced her latter feelings aloud, because it still made her flustered all the same.

(Noelle) "A-Ah...Um, thank you, S/O...!"

It made her want to do her best everytime just so she could receive such affection, and made sure to do it back to them!

But with her strength, she accidentally completely dishevels their hair.

Before promptly fixing it in nearly an instant with her skills as a dutiful maid!

Ayaka exhales deeply, any words she had completely fading away in bliss.

These were the kinds of moments Ayaka longed for, to simply share affection with a lover of her own.

It made her feel quite normal as opposed to the prim and proper noblewoman she was forced to be.

(Ayaka) "If I may be selfish for a moment, might I ask for you to continue...?"

She'd be a little embarrassed asking for more, but her shame vanishes the moment she feels their hand on her head again.

Ayaka is too shy to initiate the headpatting on her own, most of the time having her hand almost reach her S/O's head before pulling away last second.

Sara flinches and leans away from S/O on instinct.

(Sara) "What are you-...M-My apologies, I was just not expecting you to..."

Her hand fidgets for a moment before Sara lets out a sigh.

(Sara) "If you wanted to touch my hair, you can just ask."

Now that she was actually ready for S/O, she enjoyed the feeling of their fingers brushing against her hair.

It was relaxing as she let down her guard and enjoyed the physical affection.

Needless to say, Sara absolutely did not want S/O to do this in public.

Seeing Inazuma's general get pat on the head so lovingly would obliterate her image.

Yae smirks as she leans her head closer to them, not saying a word at first.

Her ears twitch for just a moment as she opens her mouth to speak.

(Yae) "Well, does my hair feel nice, S/O?"

And before S/O knows it, her tail wrapped around their waist before bringing them closer and her the back of her head is resting on their lap.

Yae's hand waves nonchalantly, and her tone growing increasingly ever more teasing.

(Yae) "I expect to be pampered properly, S/O. You can't leave a job half-finished after all!"

Now, Yae expects S/O to tend to her hair, in public or private, she doesn't really care.

As long as there were some good reactions from S/O both was fine, though in public tended to provide the funniest result.

...Oh, and their hands did feel nice. But she'd figure it'd be more entertaining to let S/O figure that one out themselves.

Shenhe knows this feeling well.

Cloud Retainer did the same thing whenever she meant to comfort her.

And of course, the feeling is much of the same when S/O does it to her.

WIth zero shame or hesitation, she closes her eyes and the corners of her lips grow into some semblance of a smile.

(Shenhe) "Your hands are soft, S/O...They feel good."

Instead of leaning into them, she grabs their entire arm and has their hand stay stuck in place.

But Shenhe is careful enough to not hurt them during the process.

She opens her eyes and calmly asks them:

(Shenhe) "Can you keep your hand in place for a little longer?"

Xianyun had provided much of the same comfort to all her disciples before.

But never has anyone attempted to pat her head.

So when she feels S/O's hands do the same motion, she is stunned for a few moments.

Clearing her throat and adjusting her glasses, she puts on the best poker face she can.

(Xianyun) "W-Why did you feel the need to rub One's head, One is not feeling upset."

...The blush on her cheeks gave her feelings completely away, if the stutter didn't already do that.

Xianyun is far too proud to admit that headpat made her heart skip, and she would refuse to ever do so.

A mortal patting an Adeptus' head? Absolutely ridiculous!

...She wanted S/O to do that again.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ A/N: I was browsing through the female characters tags and I just realized that they don't have a lot of fics. Well, not as much as the male charas have. So I thought "hey maybe I can write a couple of fics" and here we are. I love Furina with all my heart, so ofc she has to be the first one I'm writing for.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Fluff with a hint of angst, sagau, gn!reader, spoiler about Fontaine archon quest

"Are you comfortable?" You ask her, voice soft like velvet.

Furina nod, resting her head on your chest, the warmth of your body almost too comforting to bear, yours arms encircling her waist as your fingers send hot shivers down her spine. She dare to look on the eyes, though it's a quick glance before she looks to somewhere else.

“You’re so warm,” she murmurs, a barely noticeable hint of sadness hanging on her tone before it disappears, replaced by one of her theatrical smile. You chuckle softly, wrapping your arms tighter around her.

“You deserve every bit of comfort, my dear. You’ve been working so hard.”

A pang of guilt stabs at her heart. She bites her lip, her thoughts swirling in a tempest of self-doubt and secrets. How can she accept these tender words when she isn’t even the true Archon of Fontaine? Her position is built on deception, a mantle she wears but doesn’t own. If you are God themselves, how can you not know? Or you do know and want her to say it?

If it's you, she's glad to rip the etched mask that's been sewed on her own face for so long.

“Do I?” she whispers, her voice barely audible. You pull back slightly, cupping her face gently.

“Of course, you do,” you reply, kissing her forehead. She closes her eyes, the kiss burning against her skin. She doesn’t deserve this love, this unwavering trust. If only you knew the truth...

“I’m not...” she begins, her voice cracking. Your brow furrows in concern.

“Not what, Furina?”

She takes a deep breath, struggling to find the words. How can she break your heart with her confession? But she can’t continue living this lie, not when it weighs so heavily on her soul.

“I’m not the real Archon,” She blurts out, tears welling in her eyes as she refuse to meet your eyes. She's waiting for the worse, waiting for you to pus her away and curse her - as she had seen happening in those nightmares that plague her mind.

“I’m a fraud, a lier. Fontaine deserves better. You deserve better.”

Your eyes widen in surprise, but you don’t pull away. Instead, you gently wipe away her tears with your thumb and offer her a gentle smile.

“Furina, look at me,” You say softly. “I don’t care about titles or power. I care about you, the person you are. You’ve brought so much joy and strength to this nation, and to me. And I knew, I knew everything.”

Her heart aches with a mix of relief and disbelief. How can you still hold her so dearly, despite her confession?

“But... I’m not worthy,” Furina insists, her voice trembling, she looking so surprised right now, eyes as open as possible. “I’ve deceived everyone. How can you love someone like me?”

You lean in, pressing a gentle kiss to her cheek. “Because I see the real you, beyond the titles and the façade. I see your kindness, your courage, and your love for Fontaine. And that’s more than enough.”

Her tears flow freely now, a mix of sorrow and gratitude. She clings to you, burying her face in your shoulder.

“Thank you,” She whispers, her voice muffled. She hugs you closer, tighter than she ever did, not caring about your godly status right now or decorum. “Thank you for seeing me and not hating me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

You hold her close, your embrace a shield against her doubts. In your arms, Furina finds a glimmer of hope, a belief that perhaps, she is worthy of love after all.

That perhaps everything she suffered through those 500 haven't been for nothing. Maybe she can still play her part till Focalors help everyone.

Hi doc! Kinda an odd request but I am going through it rn lmao

So could I ask for yandere furina and yandere hu Tao comforting reader after a really bad break up where the readers ex was cheating on her and really mean/borderline abusive?

If this goes against your rules please ignore!! :)

Sorry for having to go through that, hope you'll feel better and I hope you'll enjoy

Trigger Warning: Yandere, Obsessive behaviour, Possessive behaviour

Furina: Of course she feels bad for you, seeing you sad makes her feel the same, so she feels actually guilty about feeling a bit happy over this break up, she wants nothing more than for you to be happy and you clearly weren't happy with your ex.

Sadly Furina isn't very good at comforting, having to put on a mask for 500 years makes it hard for her to know what someone would need to hear, so she will just hugs you, she hopes that you understand that this is how she comforts you.

The fact that you might grow closer after this is just a bonus

"They were dumb anyways, you don't need to think about them anymore, I'm here and I'll make sure you'll stay distracted"

Hu Tao: This simplifies things for her, had they not broken up with you they would have found themself dead... nah she'll still kill them for being with you, she isn't afraid to use this situation to manipulate you when you are so vulnerable.

So Hu Tao comforts you as best as she can, she sprinkles in a bit of dark humor wherever she can but otherwise she's really good, she tries to guide your mind that maybe you can date her now, she'll never leave you, she'll stay forever loyal, isn't that something you want.

Let's hope you don't find out about her madness, she is no less toxic than your ex.

"They truly were an idiot for letting you go, I would never do that to you, no need to worry about them tho, I have a feeling that they'll never bother you again"

I don't know what to do without you~ Lyney X gn!reader

"Please, I'm still the same Lyney you fell in love with."

T/W- angst with no comfort, hurt, yelling all the fun stuff

★Navigation★

Tag list form!

You were taken aback by Furina, the hydro archon's own comments. He'd lied to you. Lyney, the love of your life, had lied. Sure, he was a magician who guarded secrets, but this was different. How could he not have told you?

"Tell me. Aren't you and Lynette from the House of Hearth?" Her smirk made you sick. Lyney, on the other hand, made you feel even worse. His captivating smile had faded, and he was left with a broken expression. He was staring at you, trying to locate life in your now-dead eyes. All you know is that you were holding back tears.

How could he?

Why would he?

You walked out of the courthouse, unconcerned about how people looked at you.

You tried to focus on something other than your partner, but he was all you could think about. The way he looked deflated, defeated. Tears threatened to fall down your cheeks, and holding them back was difficult. And were not in the mood for people to see you cry.

The court was adjourned about 20 minutes later, and the first person out was, of course, Lyney. His normally smiling appearance was filled with tears, matching the marking on his face. What had he done, Archons? He dashed towards you but did not hug nor kiss you. He always knew when you needed your space and never pushed it.

"I understand you may not want to talk to me right now…"

"No, Lyney I don't want to speak to you."

His expression showed his sadness. Lyney excelled at expressing his feelings but struggled to conceal them.

"Please, I'm still the same Lyney you fell in love with."

"You lied to me! You know I despise the Fauti."

"That's precisely why I didn't tell you."

Now the tears began to fall. Lyney was merely upset, whereas you were angry and upset.

His pleading look almost convinced you to take him back. You had to turn your back to prevent yourself from doing so. Of course, you still had feelings for him; who wouldn't? You were only hurt because he didn't tell you. But it's not like you'd be happy if he'd told you before all of this. A sudden gust of wind went past you both.

You realised you had a crowd. Everyone who was present during the spectacular court trial was there. They were watching every second, lapping up the drama, like a dog to water. Something else you despised about Fontaine.

"Love, Please-"

"Just stop Lyney." You had given up fighting his claims.

Although you couldn't see his face, you could guess what it looked like. Dull, gloomy, and lacking in charm or his sparkle.

"Y/N, I didn't lie, I just left out bits of the truth." Hearing your name from him hurt because he typically called you by a pet name.

"Important bits, Lyney!" Your voice began to shake. "We're done, I don't want to talk to you again."

"Love…"

"Don't."

By this point, there was no stopping the tears.

Seaside Blue

Neuvillette x Reader

content: pure fluff, I honestly wanna write so much more for him but I'm gonna wait for the archon quests to continue...

word count: 1.3k

also on my ao3!

A canvas of purple and pink paints the sky as the sun gradually falls beneath the sea, leaving you and the land to settle into cool darkness. The sea reflects that range of colour whilst also maintaining that pure blue that the nation of Hydro commonly emitted, and clouds were splattered up above in picturesque perfection. Besides the lapping of waves and peaceful chirp of birds, there was silence all around. 

Teyvat's evenings were consistently beautiful. The colours of the bright sky varied from nation to nation, but always, they were stunning.   

You shift to get comfortable, leaning back on your palms whilst sat on a hill by the Fontaine waters. There was a light drizzle falling, enhancing the overall melancholy that joined you this evening. It wasn't an uncommon emotion, not for you nor anyone else, but it was certainly enhanced by quiet, lonely days that ended like this. It's strange how you tend to end up sad when surrounded by such magnificent nature. It made you wonder- were melancholy and content really such juxtaposing emotions? In times like these, they seemed to fuse, just like the colours in the sky came together to form a blue darkness.  

You sighed, and laid back in the grass.   

Lumine and Paimon were waiting, you knew. They were waiting for you at a hotel in Fontaine, deciding to splurge a bit instead of spending the night camping as you three usually did. You'd been in Fontaine for about two months, and not much progress had been made in regard to talking with Furina... You weren't surprised, not after seeing her personality on show during all these trials, but it was frustrating nonetheless. It felt like this journey was simply your group running in circles, witnessing history that you never intended to be a part of, over and over in an endless cycle. You could sense the frustration building in Lumine too, despite the pure kindness she housed within her heart. In the end, all you could do was keep moving forward. Such a thought should be comforting... But the prospect of doing this forever was not very appealing. Camping endlessly, never settling down, getting involved in root-deep schemes from the Fatui... It was certainly not an easy life. 

Footsteps from behind make your ears perk up. Treasure hoarders? Fatui? Every possible threat passes your mind as you pull yourself to your feet, eyes narrowed, sword in hand- but no, instead of danger, a few meters from you stands the Iudex of Fontaine, the Chief Justice himself.   

"Monsieur Neuvillette?" Your voice comes out meek, but pleased; he stops in his tracks, and there's a moment of silence as he finds the right words to say.  

"I'm sorry for approaching unannounced." He clears his throat. "May I sit with you?"  

"Oh, sure, no need to apologise..." You chuck your weapon back to the ground and return to the floor, patting the spot next to you. He appears hesitant for a moment, as if he hadn't expected you to say yes, but soon strides over. "Any court cases today? I didn't have time to read the Steambird."  

"Only one, but I had a great amount of work to get through, so that's for the better." A soft sound leaves him as he settles on the ground, looking rather out of place in his fancy court garb. His hair is so long it settles partially on the grass, and you wonder, does he have to brush it himself in the morning? Does he have some kind of assistant to help with his daily life? The thought causes a rogue pang of jealousy in your heart. "What did you do today? If you don't mind me asking." His words pull you back to reality.  

"Well..." You start, glancing away from his curious gaze, "I joined Lumine and Paimon for some adventuring. Didn't find much besides confirmation that this nation has stunning scenery, but still, I think Liyue can't be beat in that category." You lean back once more and stare out at the sky as its colours drain to a dark blue; the waves continue to lap in your ears as the trees darken against the skyline, shadows of their former bright selves. You want to say something more, something deeper that'll bring the two of you closer- but you don't.  

You never do, and neither does he.   

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. The nation has certainly gotten livelier since you three arrived." His voice is composed and has a tinge of coldness as usual; you can almost feel it in the air- the heaviness of words left unsaid. You hum in agreement, and turn to see his eyes have yet to leave you. Neuvillette sits stiffly as if he has no clue what to do in this casual setting, too used to standing and sitting straight as a board. It's amusing, really.  

"Are you comfortable in that suit?" You ask, because clearly, he wasn't. You reach over to the button on his ornate waistcoat and pop it open- the choking noise he stifles is not lost on you. "Take your coat off, it's warm anyway."   

Your glance meets his, faces much too close as he shrugs his jacket off. It never ceases to amaze you how absolutely ethereal his eyes are; they're every shade of blue in one, finer than the sky and deeper than the ocean. The words spill softly from your lips, barely louder than a breath, "Your eyes are beautiful." And he looks away abashedly, like he doesn't know how to react to a compliment.   

For a while, the two of you sit together in deep silence, too distracted to focus on neither the sea nor each other. Despite knowing his hard exterior is easier to crack than porcelain, you still find it difficult to find the right words. Though, Neuvillette doesn't seem to mind. He browses the scenery he's viewed a thousand times before with curiosity and awe, his lips unmoving as if words would simply get in the way. He has made his intentions clear by simply coming to see you all these evenings, in his mind. You find that soon, a dull sleepiness washes over your eyes, inviting them to close; you end up leaning your head against his shoulder without even realising it. He tenses, for a brief moment, before all stress leaves his body in a gentle exhale.   

"What do you think love is?" He asks, seemingly out of the blue, and your eyes re-open with effort. You look up, and smile at the curious expression your companion has. Curious, but not unhappy with his lack of understanding.   

"I think..." you start, "I think love is when you really feel alive. You feel emotions deeper than before, without even understanding why. Colours appear richer than before, trees look somehow more real against the sky." Neuvillette's hand hovers over the small of your back, hesitant, before wrapping around your waist. You carefully move his silky hair out of the way, and press up close to him. "Love is just viewing life in a new lens. Those amazing sights were there before... But sometimes you need help to notice them, I suppose."   

His gaze is soft now, not as piercing as usual. He brushes a stray strand of hair from your face, then looks away, back towards the sea.   

"It's an emotion that has eluded me up until recent history." He says, "Not to say I have never felt love. But listening to you explain it is like listening to poetry. Humans have a way of making even the most mundane things sound wonderfully exciting." His cerulean eyes come back to you, and a small, distant smile is present on his lips.   

"I think you're giving us too much credit." You say, but really, he was right. Maybe because only one lifetime is guaranteed, humans tend to find ways to make that short while an adventure, no matter how mundane it truly is.   

"Perhaps." His hand comes to cup your face, and you lean into it. "If it's not too much to ask, would you continue helping me learn what love is?"   

And with a soft, tired smile, you nod. You kiss his palm and feel human love at its highest peak. 

...You weren't quite sure when the rain had stopped.

Rambling about Natlan (Spoiler Warning?)

Goodnight everyone, I just finished the Natlan Archon quest and I AM NOT OKAY (/pos). Sharing some screenshots/pics I took. LONG ASS POST (I think?) I'm still on an adrenaline rush so excuse me for not having deep smart thoughts, I feel like I drank 340 liters of caffeine

Goodbye Fontaine, beautiful Archon quest smh

Little cutie <3 I named him Fizzle (is it a male? i think? i forgot already). LET ME KEEP HIM IN MY TEAPOT PLEASEEE

IMPORTANT: Hello! My old account, Lovemari, got deleted. Therefore, I had to make a new one. I'm honestly pretty upset about this so I'll take some time to recover! Thankfully, all my posts are saved as I write them in google docs before posting. Please like and reblog so I can reach my old followers and potentially new ones!

Wish - Furina x Reader

Reminder: I'm not an experienced writer so construction criticism is always welcome! Also, I write for fun. I just wanted to share my work around the world!

Pairing: Furina x Reader

Synopsis: Making a wish with your girlfriend

Notes: I don't really have much to say! But I think this fict is super cute!

It was a lovely sight. Two humans, under the moon with their hands intertwined. One was smiling, the other wasn't. In fact, they were quite sad despite the view above them.

You let out a deep, concerned sigh, “Furina, what's the matter?” Furina only gave you a look before drifting off to her own world. You gave Furina's hand a tight squeeze, “Furina, you're still mentally scarred by what happened in these recent months?” You muttered, feeling sympathetic for your friend. Furina let out a whimper.

It was silent. Total silence. You knew a group of Fontaine citizens were still mad at Furina's actions. It must've been hard on her, given the fact that she's trying to recover from it.

Out of the blue, a golden star flew across Teyvat. It was like a sign of hope and comfort. “Quick! Make a wish!” Furina announced, her eyes gleaming. That was the first time in a while you saw her genuinely smile.

You closed your eyes, a big smile forming on your face. Crossing your hands, you began to tell the star what you wanted.

I wish that Furina will be forever happy.

Furina giggled, “What was your wish?” She curiously asked. You gave her a smug smile, “Can't tell you. It won't come true if I do.” You smirked. Furina crossed her arms, “Aww! You're no fun~” She protested.

Furina got up and looked at the sky once more, “My wish was for us to never seperate,” She blushed. Those two words sounded sincere.

Now, hundreds of stars are flying in the sky, giving you courage about expanding your future relationships with Furina.

You love Furina.

I wanna know ur Fontaine msq criticisms 👁️👁️👂I’m all ears

I'm not sure if you wanted me to talk about this secretly or publicly but! Here I go!

The TLDR: Fontaine MSQ aestheticised prison, poverty, child abuse, the justice system/court and didn't properly address any of it.

More:

Focalors/Furina has way too much of a sympathetic angle for a dictator who's lets people drown with her inaction.

Neuvillette feels Bad for sentencing some people to death/prison, but that's it. He's one of the most powerful people in Fontaine. If he felt like there are systemic injustices, I.E sending an abused Child to prison, he should be the first person to DO something about it, not just cry and be sad so the audience can be like aw, that's complex character writing isn't it? No it's not! And guilt doesn't absolve you!!!!!!! (These are stuff we deal with in OTCOJ read my fic now /j)

Meropide has children in it, both Sentenced there (Wriothesley) and BORN THERE (Lanoire), and this is just a quirk of the place. Not only that, Meropide accepts prisoners of all genders and crimes. There are abusers and abuse victims in one place. Do you know how bad that is? How much potential for crimes to happen in a place like that— oh wait, Meropide isn't under Fontaine's jurisdiction. If you are assaulted as an inmate it literally means nothing to the court.

Wriothesley had no qualifications when he took over. Depending on how long he lived on the streets, how old he was when he killed his parents, how old he was when he was first taken in by the orphanage, etc, the man might never have more than 4–5 years of formal education. Sigewinne probably had to teach him how to write reports. And do Meropide's spreadsheets. Edit because I forgot to elaborate on this one: This isn't a point brought up anywhere, which is bad, because when poverty and incarceration robs you of a proper education (and the rights to vote in many places too, too, by the way), it reduces your prospects for jobs, reduces many people's ability to get a home etc etc. Wriothesley was just, narratively, Given his position.

Meropide is an industrialized prison, and they portray this as a good thing. Prisoners are paid in coupons for their labour, and this is also portrayed as a good thing.

The One-Meal-A-Day reform was something Paimon gushed about being so great of a perk, that people might want to go to jail for food (could be interesting and reflective of systemic poverty if MHY had brains, but they don't, so I was just Pissed because essentially all Paimon wanted to say was "Prison isn't so bad, but still don't go to prison guys! Prison labour is really hard!"). By the way, in most real-world prisons they are obligated to feed you three meals a day. Because that's how much food a human needs. MHY went with one meal just so they can say "if you want to eat more, you have to work." And then the welfare meal is a goddamn gacha. So imagine you're a starving child who's too weak to work in the fucking robot assembly line, and you wander up for your first meal in 24 hours, only to luck in with a shit one. I'd kill myself.

They wrote Wriothesley, who's a victim of the system, into a guy who's say shit like "I'm the Duke I can do whatever I want" for a cool moment where he choke-slams an inmate (I know he was a bad guy. But also, in copaganda when cops are violent/disregarding protocols, they are always only portrayed to do that against bad guys, so what does our critical thinking tells us about this one?) They wrote Wriothesley, who was an inmate of a prison so bad, so notorious that it is the literal boogeyman of Fontaine, that has a legal (???) fighting pit, with an administrator who abuses his position to be unreasonable, to willingly stay in the place and become an Administrator who would choke-slam an inmate while saying a cool line about how he has the power to do whatever he wants. They wrote him, the guy who had to be fed on the streets by melusines, to think one-meal-a-day was a good enough reform (while he spends god-knows how much on his boat). This wasn't a victim-turns-into-abuser narrative either, they want all this to be seen as positive character growth.

And then, the final kicker is, they gloss over his entire abuse. You can only read about these shit in his profile, which most people don't because they don't Have Him or doesn't care to unlock it/read it online, and they jammed his entire backstory into a flaccid info-dump at the end of his character story quest. This man isn't Allowed to feel abused and neglected and show any reaction to it within the narrative of Fontaine itself, because if they actually Gave Weight to what happened to him, they'd have to confront THE FUCKING JUSTICE SYSTEM they had NO PLANS on criticising. I don't think they ever explicitly said the fucking Crime-Theatre nonsense was Bad either.

I could go on, but this is already so long. But yeah, I hope this gave you an idea.

[priestessoffurina]

Hiiii thereee! Okay so I know you're a big Furilumi fan, so I was wondering if you could help me collect all the info and events that imply it, and their general dynamic and stuff??? Anything about their relationship in all canon or semi-canon content. I'm working on the Traveler x Genshin chars list again, and I'm honestly undecided on how to interpret Furina's feelings for the traveler, so I thought you could help :>>>

Hellooo~ and gosh I'm flattered that you think so.

I will say that while I am a fan; I'm not as die-hard as others maybe. I'm very much a characters-before-the-ship kinda gal when it comes to Furilumi (also in general with other characters).

Like if you were to put a gun to my head and ask me what is my top Travelver X Character ship "canon wise", Furilumi wouldn't even be top five. (also I am adult enough to admit that I'm very much wanting to fuck Furina a Furina x Reader shipper more than anything)

But even with all that, I think they are cute together together and they have an interesting dynamic that can be explored.

I'm wasn't quite sure how you wanted the information or how much you wanted. I'm just gonna go through certain moments from quests Furina & Lumine have been in together so far. And just talk about them.

Also if I forget a scene or something please forgive me!

When Lumine first meets Furina at the very start of the Fontaine Archon quest, she isn't being herself.

As we all know, Furina was acting as the role of Hydro Archon. So calling it a proper meeting isn't accurate, since I tend to believe we don't meet the real Furina until much late. This isn't just in reference to her identify, but also her true personality.

Also it was just basically Furina going "We are rivals now!" and Lumine being like "....sure I guess?".

But I thought it important to high light it since it does establishes their early dynamic.

Furina knows about what The Travelver has done and sees her as an answer to her problems;

She has been chasing the one trial to end all trials; the one case that is so spectacular that is will save Fontaine from the impending floods. And what better opposition than the famous Outlander?

And she says at much at Lyney's trial:

Although there is perhaps a bit of fear at what the The Travelver could do, Furina is sure that their face off will soon happen. And that the odds will be in her favour (even though she kinda doesn't know what she is doing lol), with her being determined to save Fontaine.

It is always hard to truly know what the Travelver themselves is thinking. But I would guess Lumine also views Furina as a means to an end. It is the reason she is traveling Teyvat finding her brother.

This shows that while they both are different, they are very willing to do what they can to obtain their goal. Whether that means playing a role for 500 years, or travelling all over the whole continent, they will searching through any scarp of information to find the answers.

While Furina does lose and is, from Paimon's own words: "...like a deflated balloon now." I think Furina is more sad that it wasn't "The Trial" more than anything. Especially since she is "...unable to contain her joy at seeing you and Paimon enter.", when coming to protect her while meeting with the Arlecchino. Showing that she doesn't have any ill will towards Lumine.

Granted this could be because Furina is utterly terrified of The Knave as well trusting in Neuvillette very much. But still that rivalry is put on hold. But from this little tea party Lumine starts feeling distrusting of Furina, thinking she is hiding something. And from the events of Poisson, this just grows.

While Lumine is willing to go through the plan with others to trap Furina, this is very much a last resort;

Lumine doesn't want to be feuding with Furina; this rivalry that Furina has thrusted upon them is something she doesn't want. And while Lumine is reluctant to do this, she knows there is no choice. The Travelver doesn't think Furina is a bad person. But they need answers, and as such it seems that they are both destined to be on oppositions at court.

But Lumine still tries one last time to get through to Furina.

This part of the Fontaine Archon quest is one of my favourites; this is where Furina's thoughts and feeling finally start to poke out.

It happens because Furina's greatest fear is coming true, but still. Pretty good.

Lumine is very much on to the act that Furina plays. She knows that is she isn't godly or uncaring as she may give off. Lumine tries to show to Furina that it is okay to let go:

If Furina had been quicker and had told her the truth, Lumine very much would have stopped the plan. But from what we know, Furina would have never told. She was dedicated to the very end.

Skipping to after the Hydro Archons trial and the crisis being averted. We don't get anything until Furina's story quest.

Story quests are in general kinda a mixed bag. They are can be great in show casing the playable characters, well character. As well as expanding on the world as a whole. But sometimes they just focus on the second part a bit too hard and the character suffers from.

Now looking back at Furina's quest, it probably wasn't as bad as I thought originally. Well at least looking through just the lines by themselves is fine (Paimon is still...well I have thoughts on how they utilise Paimon's character when it comes to story. They use her as comic relief/to lighten it up when it is not needed...But that's a convo for another day).

There are at least some good bits to take from.

The first being that the reason Furina even helps the Troupe in the first place is because the Travelver drags them (literally and figuratively) into the plot. By the way of hand-holding no less.

After the ordeal that Furina has been through she is actually quite reluctant to be out and about. Furina strikes me as someone who is introverted, this very well could because she has had no real personal relationships.

On topic of personal relationships, Lumine is properly the only person who knows about what Furina truly felt during her 500 years of acting. This is cause of Furina unconsciously trama-dumped on Lumine, but still. Having someone who has seen the many sides to you, can be nice. Furina can be candid with Lumine, not needed to put on a performance. But I'm sure Furina also feels it is kinda awkward. Because 'Oh archons this person knows all about me', it crates an unexpected power imbalance, which can make for an interesting dynamic with the Travelver.

Another good moment is when they are back in Poisson;

If there is one ideal out of the seven that The Travelver embodies most, it is freedom. Freedom is very important to Lumine and I think it's very telling when she tells Furina that freedom is her reward. She is saying to her that it's It's over, and that she is free to begin a new chapter of her life.

So I think it's no coincidence after this quest Furina ends up being a director in "Roses and Muskets". She breaks out of her shell a bit and once again comes along on the Travelver's behest. Granted there aren't that many scenes/moments with them since this was very Chevreuse forward event. This is also similar in the Lantern Rite, but we did get a cute diagonal where Lumine says "I have keenly felt the passage of time since our last meeting." so that was cute.

Unfortunately since Furina has only been out for 7 months we'll have to wait for more. Hopeful in 4.6 (if it follows the same patterns) we will get her second story quest, and that it's a little bit better.

But there are voice-over and teapot stuff! (Had to get these from the wiki since I don't have Furina fully unlocked. yeah yeah know)

These are pretty self explanatory. Just Furina wanting to spend time with the Travelver and taking about the next chapter of her life having Lumine in it.

I thought this one has particularly cute. Furina would make macaroni for Lumine.

This one is a favourite

Lumine only needs her.

Now on to the teapot, there is a very cute scene where Furina talks about teaching Lumine to dance;

Another where Furina talks about them doing acting together and writing a script.

And that's all I can find! Like I said, I probably missed some stuff, but I think I'll call it quits here. I hope I was able to get the info you needed, but if not you can ask my specific questions if need be.

Also I'd love to the list when you are done!!!

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Politely affectionately agressively begging for more Furina fics you write her AMAZINGLYYYYY PLEASEEE and it's so rare to see my girl get any fics YOU A REAL ONE FR FR 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫

(Genshin Impact) Furina watching an emotional movie with her S/O

*Imperial Guardsmen Voice* IF SUCH IS THE EMPEROR'S WILL! Also, you can imagine this as an Isekai S/O or Fontaine somehow developed movies, idk you can work the imagination on how movies exist in Tevyat, I'm just here to give you the funny/cute.

Furina's lips trill in boredom as she sits down on the couch, an hand underneath her chin.

Dinner had already been finished, dessert promptly followed but the night was still young.

Her S/O was in front of the couch, rustling coming from a box they were searching through.

She got up from her seat and knelt next to them, curious as to what they were looking for.

(Furina) "S/O?"

(S/O) "Hang on, just looking for something we can watch...ah!"

S/O pulled out a box containing a small CD. Furina couldn't help but flinch instinctually.

(S/O) "Before you ask, no it's not a horror movie."

With a sigh of relief, she grabbed the box and raised an eyebrow.

(Furina) "Oh thank goodness!...A-Ahem, so, what is this?"

(S/O) "It's from Inazuma. It's a super cheesy story about a man and female meka falling in love."

They put a finger to their chin as Furina scoffed as she crossed her arms.

(Furina) "Oh please, I've seen far worse premises in my stage plays, S/O!"

(S/O) "True, but this one might make you cry."

Furina's smirk grows bigger hearing their lack of faith.

(Furina) "Psh! Me? Cry at a love story probably told a thousand times? Please! Put it on S/O! I'll prove you otherwise!"

ONE HOUR LATER...

S/O and Furina were sitting quietly, nearing the end of the film's duration.

The man's head was resting on the meka's lap as he was nearing the end of his life, though the mood was very bittersweet.

With a beautiful piano tune playing in the background, the Meka looked up to the sky, finally getting a revelation for the human it fell in love with.

[Mekaigis] "Not everything needs to be for some greater purpose. Just caring for someone can be enough. That's all we need to give our lives meaning. As for me, I've found my path. And that's to protect you with my life..."

S/O's heart strings tugged at the touching dialogue. Blinking away a few tears, S/O turned to Furina.

(S/O) Furina's been really quiet. I wonder if she's not as affected as-

S/O's thoughts were interrupted the moment they actually glanced at their girlfriend.

Furina reached for her box of tissues, which was already halfway gone, and blew violently into it.

She proceeded to wipe away her tears with her hands while her lips trembled, eyes locked onto the screen the entire time.

(S/O) ...Okay yeah, she's doing as good as I thought she would.

S/O moved in closer to hold her hand and at least give her some comfort for this admittedly tear-inducing scene.

Only for their hand to be almost hurt from her grip strength as she held on with all of her passion, Furina's attention daring not to even turn away.

S/O almost yelped out in pain, but kept strong for the sake of their girlfriend's immersion.

And with the man finally closing his eyes, the movie finally came to a close, with the music's lyrics riding the scene out.

[Movie] "kaze no koe hikari no tsubu madoromu kimi ni sosogu-"

Furina stood up from her chair, pointing to the screen with tears still fresh in her eyes.

(Furina) "T-THE MOVIE ENDS RIGHT THERE?! BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR! HE AND MEKAIGIS FOUGHT TO SAVE THE WORLD, THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY TOGETHER!"

S/O couldn't contain their soft laughter, getting up and attempting to calm her down by gently wiping her tears away.

(S/O) "I agree, but it's a rather beautiful ending to such a tragic story. But what did you think of it?"

Furina pouted at their laughter, crossing her arms and huffing.

(Furina) "I'd rather have watched a horror movie, something like that is way too sad!"

(S/O) "I thought you said you wouldn't cry-"

(Furina) "I-I was simply crying at their performances! They did an amazing job acting out a horrid script, as a performer I couldn't just ignore their handiwork!"

S/O playfully rolled their eyes as they sat Furina back down, quickly joining her on the couch.

(S/O) "Is that right? Anyways, there's a followup sequel where it follows Mekaigis after the events of this movie called the Answ-"

(Furina) "PUT IT ON RIGHT NOW! I HAVE TO FIND OUT RIGHT NOW!"

Her voice cracked as she pointed at the screen, making S/O laugh and comply.

(S/O) "Yes, ma'am."

Furina's leg bounced anxiously as she watched S/O painfully put the next film in slowly, getting immersed again immediately.

[themissinghand]

hello

I loved your character Brighella, could you make a scenario, after the events of 4.2 (I'm still with the trauma), where Furina is visited by Brighella, she is kind to her and congratulates her for her performance, she is the second best actress of teyvat, only after herself of course

plus: she leaves her a nice gift

I just want someone to give Furina a hug and tell her she did an excellent job.

Genshin Impact: Thank you, Dear Furina

Summary: In which a performer can finally put away their masks.

Or Furina needs a hug, and the Archons and Neuvillette help with that.

Pairing: None!

Note: I tweaked your request to the Archons because Brighella is displayed to be more cunning and not suited for this scenario. Hope it still fulfills your request!

While I loved Furina’s personality from the very beginning, getting to know her story was beautiful, empowering, and sad all at once. Hopefully this helped soothe some of the pain (even though I know Furina deserves more and more).

Warning: None. Just platonic fluff and comfort. Also includes some of my personal head cannons of the Archons.

★・・・・・・★

“I can’t go to the meeting alone! You have to accompany me!”

“Lady Furina. Is there something more to this…’friends’ hangout’ that I should know about?” Neuvillette stares at Furina who stutters in place, before laughing nervously.

“Well…I just want you to come with me and enjoy this party-” Under his intense and suspicious look, Furina gave in.

“It’s…a meeting with the other Archons!” Neuvillette widens his eyes slightly at the unexpected reveal. Furina shows a scroll with an Ameno Sijil. Neuvillette did feel the Anemo power radiating from it.

“I want you to come so that if any problems show up, you’ll have no problems navigating them.” Furina blurted out her worries, followed by an awkward silence between the two.

“So…can you come? Please?” When Neuvillette didn’t immediately reply, Furina was about to give up. But he stood up suddenly and gave a nod.

“When is the meeting?” Furina let out a sigh of relief and smiled brightly to reply.

“This afternoon!”

Neuvillette blinks, and turns to look at the clock hitting noon.

Neuvillette brings a hand to his face, while Furina fidgets nervously in her place.

“...I’ll ask Wriotheslay and Clorinde to watch over matters for this afternoon.” Neuvillette felt a headache coming, but even so, in his eyes there was an unexplainable look of curiosity and wonder.

“Hi Furina, my name is Nahida, you may know me as the Lesser Lord Kusanali, or the God of Wisdom that presides over Sumeru.

We want to invite you to an Archon gathering at Alcazarzaray in Sumeru. Please don’t be worried about your status here, in fact, many of the archons wish to meet you!

Barbados especially wishes to meet you, and is willing to help you with your travels, please wait for him at the West Slopes of Mont Automnequi when the time comes.

Oh! You can bring the Ludex with you as well, after all, we hope you will feel safe and welcomed. We look forward to meet you, dear Furina. -Nahida”

Furina never expected to receive a letter, much less from the Lord of Dendro herself. After her act had ended, and Fontaine saved from their curse, Furina was content already with her peaceful life.

To receive this on her window sill one day terrified her, not knowing what else was in store for her from these Archons.

So naturally, she sought out Neuvillette, and luckily got him on board.

When the time comes, while she doesn’t show it on her face, she felt nervous, overwhelmed, and tries to comfort herself with faux confidence and meaningless chatter with Neuvillette.

(Who was not helping by the way!)

Standing on the mountain, she and Neuvillette waited, and ensured there was no one nearby. After all, an Archon will be here to pick them up!

“The wind…” When Neuvillette finally spoke up, Furina felt the wind shift around her.

Neuvillette immediately stepped forward and covered Furina, whereas she was trying to not get blown back.

“Dragon!” A large dragon with shades of blue descended in front of them. The dragon stops and a youthful and carefree man descends with a gentle breeze.

“Hiya!” With vibrant green eyes, he smiles gently. He wore a whimsical bardic outfit adorned with feathers, and a lyre at his side. His presence is accompanied by a gentle breeze, and a small Anemo symbol hovers beside his waist.

“Barbados.” Neuvillette says with displeasure, and Furina gulps silently. This was the Anemo Archon. Although he looked quite friendly, he is still a God that could easily blow her away.

“Ehe, I go by Venti now. You must be the Water Dragon Soverign that the old man was talking about! Don’t worry, I’m simply here to give you all a ride!” Then his eyes shift to her, and she immediately straightens and grains.

“You must be dear Furina, the most talented artiste and stage performer!” He extends a hand, “Nice to meet ‘cha! Although I am an Archon, I am more known as a bard of Mondstadt these days.”

A bard of all things? Furina supposed that was why he had a lyre.

“Won’t you share some of your tips and tricks as a performer? I would love to know.” If it’s just about the stage, Furina could talk about it for a long time, after all, she is a well-loved idol in Fontaine.

Feeling a bit more confident and safe, she accepted his hand, feeling the gentle warm breeze swirl around her. She looked at Neuvillette, who gave her a nod.

“C’mon, Dvalin doesn’t bite. The others are waiting for us! Don’t worry, Tsaritsa and Murata won’t be there, they’re too busy with the shenanigans of their own country.” Furina let out a breath of relief, knowing that at least the leader of the Fatui won’t be attending.

(She’s still traumatized by that!)

“Hold on, Lady Furina.” Neuvillette held her hand, and she held on tight.

Furina felt a sense of excitement overtake her as they boarded a dragon, and with a flew flaps of Dvalin’s wings, they soared into the air like never before.

“Woohoo!” Seeing the God of Freedom being such a carefree spirit, Furina almost felt envious of him. After all, she heard many things about Barbados being the absentee God and for a lack of better words, a God on the…lazier side of the Archon spectrum.

She quickly shook the bad thoughts away, and simply decided to enjoy the view from above, after all, she did not know the God, Barbados, nor “Venti”.

A gasp left her lips as Dvalin flew faster, but she couldn’t help and laugh in excitement. The feeling of soaring in the skies above the clouds, and the rush of air brushing against her skin.

Truly, she felt liberating and freeing.

(Furina didn’t see the little relieved smile on Venti’s face as he encouraged Dvalin to soar)

“We’re here! This is the Palace of Alcazarzaray in Sumeru.”

Just in the short flight alone, Furina felt a bit more relaxed in the God of Freedom’s presence. Perhaps he is one that she could get along with well.

She looked around at the lush green scenery, then to the beautiful palace before her. It was most definitely different from Fontaine’s design, but nonetheless beautiful to the eye.

“Don’t worry, Nahida said that she got permission from the owner of this place and we can use it!” Venti hopped off first, followed by Neuvillette, who extended a hand to help Furina down. With a little wave from Venti, Dvalin nodded and left with a gust of wind.

“Shall we? I think everyone is here, waiting for you.” Venti led the way, and with a deep breath, Furina quickly held onto her confident mask.

“Don’t worry, they want to see you, Furina.” Venti smiled at her, stunning her briefly and she slightly released her hold onto her mask.

When the doors opened, a little girl welcomed them in. She has fair skin, pointed ears, large green eyes, and white hair with Dendro-green tips that glow in the light.

“Hi Nahida! I brought them here on time!”

“Thanks, Venti.” She smiled, and almost immediately Furina felt that she was like a mother-figure.

“Hello Furina and Neuvillette, my name is Nahida, and I welcome the two of you to Sumeru. I was the one who sent the letter.” Furina immediately felt charmed by this little God of Wisdom.

“Hello Lesser Lord Kusanali, we are grateful and honoured for your invitation.” Neuvillette bowed slightly, and Furina knew this man also had a soft spot for Nahida.

(She giggled at the fact that Neuvillette greeted Nahida but not Venti, as said man almost pouted at the unfairness)

“Hi Nahida, I am Furina from Fontaine, thank you for inviting me!” Furina almost gasped when Nahida held her hand, no, she couldn’t fall for her cuteness! Nahida is the Dendro Archon for goodness sake!

“Of course! I’m glad that you and Fontaine are safe.” Nahida turns around, “Follow me, Zhongli and Ei are waiting for us.”

Scrap that, although Nahida’s cuteness and Venti’s friendliness did calm her nerves, it came back at almost full force (of course, with Nahida’s cute little hands grabbing her - how could Furina ever let go).

She looked at Neuvillette, asking for silent advice, but instead, he had the same stoic expression on his face, as if in deep thought.

When more doors opened, the four of them walked into the central room. There sat two prominent figures, one drinking tea, and the other savouring what seemed like Inazuman dessert.

“Oh Zhongli~ Ei~ I escorted our guests here!”

When two extra pairs of eyes landed on her, she felt like she was electrified and buried 5 feet under.

“Ah, welcome.” The taller gentlemen sets down his tea and stands up,

“I am Zhongli. You may know me as the Geo Archon, Morax.” Furina has heard many things of the Geo Archon, of his battle history, and as the oldest of the Seven. With sharp amber eyes and long, dark hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, Zhongli wears an elegant ensemble, combining traditional and contemporary elements with a Geo vision behind his back.

Zhongli exudes a dignified and refined demeanor, almost like Neuvillette. She glances at Neuvillette who for once seemed to be surprised, even if just a little.

“You may have heard of ‘the death of Rex Lapis’, which is true, as I have decided to fully settle as a mortal named ‘Zhongli’.”

Furina was almost baffled, an Archon faked his death? She has heard of the chaos that occurred at Liyue, but to think it was masterfully orchestrated by one person…she didn’t know whether this person was heartless or…lonely…just like her.

“Nice to meet you, I am Raiden Ei, the Electro Archon.” On the other hand, the person who Furina is the most scared of is her.

Raiden Shogun, the one who can struck Furina down with a simple strike of lightning. She has a formidable presence with her regal and stoic appearance. She has piercing golden eyes and sleek, indigo hair tied in a traditional topknot.

She has heard of the Vision Decree.

Furina instantly knew not to mess with these two, especially Raiden Ei.

“Ei is not as scary as you think,” Nahida spoke up behind her, and Furina immediately stepped aside to hold her little hands.

“We have our hardships don’t we?”

“Indeed we do, Nahida.” Zhongli agreed amicably, and he gave her a gentle smile. It almost reminded Furina of a grandpa.

“But despite us as Gods, we believe we couldn’t have executed what you have chosen to do for your people, Lady Furina.” His words shook her to the core.

“Your willpower and determination as a human, has impressed us all, and we wanted you to acknowledge that your feats will not go unnoticed.”

Furina didn’t even notice the Geo Archon was already in front of her, or felt the small squeeze from the little hand.

“You are not a burden.” She felt a gentle pat on her head from the man who was known to hurl mountains as his weapons. Who knew his touch could be so gentle?

“From now on, if you need help, feel free to scream into the wind! I’d be the first to know!” Venti popped in with a bright grin.

“If you need me to exterminate-”

“Ei.” Nahida sharply said.

“...I will strike down your enemies in a flash.” Ei said regardless, despite the pointed looks from Nahida. But even so, her answer promised so much behind her words.

Furina felt touched, and before she knew it, her vision blurred slightly.

“Aww, you made her cry Ei!” Venti pointed out, and Ei stood up suddenly and walked over.

Furina, frightened, stepped back, but Nahida and Neuvillette (who had been so so quiet this entire time), stabilized her.

“...Sorry.” Raiden apologized, though sounding a little bit awkward, Furina felt that it was genuine.

“No! I just-”

“Lady Furina, you can relax now. The Archons are right. You did well in protecting Fontaine.” Neuvillette’s words were the last straw, and Furina burst out in tears.

“There there.” Nahida patted her gently, like a mother soothing a child.

“You don’t need to hide your feelings anymore.”

Before Furina knew it, she felt arms wrap around her, and despite her small figure, it felt so warm that Furina couldn’t help but hug back.

It took a moment for her to collect herself, and she felt embarrassed to break down in front of so many powerful people.

When she finally came back, Venti was playing his lyre as if to soothe her. When she returned a weak grin, he immediately responded back with enthusiasm.

“When you’re sad, drink your pain away! I got the finest wine from Mondstadt!” Out of nowhere, the bard brought out wine bottles.

“Venti.” Zhongli face palmed as if he was scolding him, and resigning to fate at the same time.

“Come on old man! This was a party in the first place!”

Glad that the atmosphere changed and no longer focused on Furina’s break down, she immediately took the lead in grabbing a bottle.

“Lady Furina-”

“Don’t worry Neuvillette! I can handle it!” Furina grinned while wiping her tears, “Venti is right! I heard alcohol is a great way to get rid of worries!”

“I don’t drink.” Neuvillette responded almost immediately, but Venti only gave him a wine bottle instead.

“Hey, Zhongli is a dragon that can hold his liquor pretty well, but what about you, Mr. Water Dragon?” Neuvillette turned slowly to look at Zhongli, who returned the same stoic expression back, neither confirming or denying that statement.

“...Then I will take you up on the offer.”

“Ei, want to join us?” Nahida called out to the Electro Archon, who stood without moving. Only when Nahida took her hand, did she move.

Before Furina knew it, she was sitting with the female Archons, drinking her heart away while performing her lines from her previous acts. She made sure Nahida didn’t drink the wine, even though Nahida is older than she looks.

On the other hand, Ei was the first one to be drunk much to her surprise. After all, for someone so powerful, Furina never thought the Electro Archon could be the sleepy and doppy drunk.

On the other side, Venti was happily singing and playing the lyre while floating upside down in the air. Neuvillette’s face gets red while he judges the wine as good quality with a bunch of fancy words.

Zhongli on the other hand simply sips his wine slowly, while answering any questions Neuvillette may have in the process.

That was her last thought before she was body slammed by the Anemo Archon, who hugged her.

“Furinaaa~ Zhongli and Neuvillette are bullying me!”

When she and Nahida looked over, the two old grandpas were clearly judging Venti with their eyes. Even so, she laughed, followed by Venti’s “Ehe!” before he floated back with a spin in the air.

Furina laughs at Venti’s antiques while drunk, teases Neuvillette about his face (much to his denial) and drinks like she had never done before.

It was liberating, fun, and most importantly, she wasn’t alone.

For the first time in a long time, she was able to put away her mask, and feel safe.

Needless to say though, she got knocked out quickly.

When she woke up the next day, she was tucked in into a bed with the covers over her. She sits up quickly, noticing Neuvillette drinking water and Zhongli drinking tea.

“Good Morning Lady Furina.” They both say simultaneously, and they shared a look before going back to their drinks.

She felt a hand tug her shirt, and when Furina looked, she almost died from the overwhelming cuteness from Nahida.

“Good morning.”

Before Furina could respond, the door was opened by Ei, who had an apron on and a tray in her hands.

On the tray was a mysterious black substance that Furina knew she would be putting her life on the line if she had to eat it.

“I made breakfast.” Ei simply says, before Furina saw Venti fall through the ceiling.

“What?!” Venti looked at Ei as if she was crazy.

“You have a problem with that? Barbados?”

Despite the threatening aura, Venti simply brushed it off.

“Ei, you suck at cooking.”

Light flashed, and thunder followed.

“Ei!” Nahida called out with worry, whereas Zhongli immediately put a shield on everyone without batting an eye.

“Ehe~”

Furina felt like she could get along with this group of people quite well.

˗ˏˋ for the last time ˎˊ˗

prompt: above; i have started it from lyney seeing you with another guy, but the conversation mentions what happens prior. i hope that's okay! i'm also still not 100% confident with writing fontaine folks, so let's consider this ooc lol.

also yay first anon ask thank you so much! hope this lives up to your expectations ><

content: gn!reader; angst; sad lyney; argument.

characters included: lyney

The only reason you dragged yourself out of bed today was to see your brother, who was bordering on anxious for you since you informed him of Lyney's past - information you lacked prior to dating him. Your brother was the only person who shared in your experience with the Fatui, and knowing your partner, the person you were meant to trust, worked alongside them broke your heart. Something you didn't know could break any more.

"Look," your brother said, standing outside of your front door above a bouquet of flowers no doubt left by Lyney. "It'll do you good just to go on a walk, grab a coffee, and spend some time with someone you can trust."

"What if we see him? He's been released now, I think... and I never officially ended it with him." You replied, standing behind the door with sleep in your eyes.

"Then I'll tell him to go do one." Your brother smiled, half-joking while still being completely genuine. Your brother was always the confrontational one of the two of you, your sensitivity in the shadows of his resilience.

Reluctantly, you changed clothes - looking in the mirror for the first time in a week and feeling somewhat confident compared to the bedridden self you were days prior.

Your brother thought a simple, small, quiet cafe would benefit in this situation, ordering the two of you coffees and, despite your objections, paying for them himself. You had spent minutes making idle conversations, asking about work, his relationships, general Fontainian affairs, when you noticed a familiar face watching you from the corner of the cafe.

"Don't make it obvious," you commanded your brother. "But he's behind you, on the table by the window."

Of course, your brother made it obvious. "How long has he been there?"

"Archons knows. He's a magician; he's probably popped up out of nowhere."

You prayed to Lady Furina that he was just going to watch for a while, before walking away and never speaking to you again. Turns out, wishes to the Hydro Archon don't come true.

"I've been sending you letters," a calm voice called from beside you. "But you go out with other men in front of me?"

Your brother decided to stand - in an act of intimidation, it seemed. "Other men..." He said, laughing to himself.

Lyney never met your brother; he knew you had one, as when you confided in him about your past, you mentioned that you escaped the Fatui alongside your brother. You didn't go into detail of your endurances under Fatui imprisonment, aside from telling Lyney that it was The Doctor who decided the two of you were of enough interest to imprison and experiment on. Lyney told you he didn't know who The Doctor was, but you wondered whether he was deceiving you - alongside keeping his own Fatui alliances hidden from you.

"I have sent letters, flowers, gifts galore because I realise my mistake, but I was not involved in what happened to you, and I wish I could have helped you. Are you so cold-hearted that you move on from me immediately, but taunt me while you're at it?"

Once again, your brother found this amusing more than anything. It was Lyney's naivety that he found funny, the selfishness of his opinion. You were taunting him. You were the bad person in this scenario. That is what he laughed over.

"You really think they're so heartless that they can just move on from someone they deeply cared for straight away? From someone who tricked them? You're hilarious..." Your brother was now standing directly in front of Lyney, looking down at the person who he despised most. Your brother continued speaking, taking advantage of the other man's silence. "I'm their fucking brother, not 'some other man' to her."

Lyney realised his mistake, looking at you in the hopes of a comment. Your cheeks were red, aware of everyone else - albeit not many people - watching the confrontation as if it were a court case.

"Lyney, I don't want anything to do with you. You can stop the gifts, the cards, because it won't help. I never want to see you again. You know what you did; you wouldn't be apologising through letters every other day if you didn't. Please just leave me alone. Let me enjoy a coffee with my brother without you staring at the back of his head in envy."

Lyney, equally as embarrassed, left the cafe without another word. Your brother apologised to everyone watching, but they were more entertained than annoyed at the event they just witnessed.

You looked at your brother, tears swelling in the corners of your eyes. "Please can we go?"

"No," he replied. "We're going to pretend he doesn't exist, and enjoy our day."

assigning different genshin chars to plavi orkestar(blue orchestra) songs!

characters: lyney, wanderer, kazuha, heizou, xiao, venti, gaming, furina

author's note: alright i wanna do something before i do the 6 reqs that i have. i'm from bosnia and i love ex-you music, especially plavi orkestar so this is kinda a self-explanatory thing lol anyways you can search for the lyrics online and then translate them or something because i just think that they fit these chars so yeah🤷‍♂️

• Lyney - puteru puteru

i think this one suits him cuz like it's about thinking you're not all that good to your lover, although... "puter" means "butter" so you're basically calling the one you love "butter" and yes that doesn't make sense. but i think it suits him, see the lyrics and you might get it lol

"ja sam tebe prvi poljubio, ja sam tebe svemu naucio." (i was the one who kissed you first, i was the one who taught you everything.)

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

• Wanderer - nisam je probudio

alright. let me just translate the name "i didn't wake her up" and it suits him imo. not looking at how all the songs are with fem prns unfortunately but just at the lyrics. there's also lines like "majko, zasto me nije cekala?" and more, and "majka" means "mother". he's like asking his mother why didn't "she" wait for him etc etc the lyrics really explain him if he lost you or smthn help i would cry rn this fits him so much actually in the chorus the lyrics are "ako si me voljela sto me nisi povela" translating to "if you loved me, why didn't you bring me" as in like why didn't you bring him to death with you or something

"majko, da li znas, jos sam sam." (mother, do you know, i'm still alone.)

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

• kazuha - ne mogu ti nista osim srca dati

"i can't give you anything other than my heart" and i think it's so accurate for kazuha frfr. the way that it's sung is just so kazuha-coded imo especially when the chorus says "uzmi ili ostavi" when talking about his heart and it means "take it or leave it" and i think that he's just like thatttt he would accept it either you loved him or not because he's still ready to sacrifice his everything for you even though you may not love him cuz the lyrics are also "preslab da te zadrzim, prejak da ti oprostim, morat cu da prezivim." aka "too weak to keep you, too strong to forgive you, i'll have to survive" and for some reason i imagine kazuha singing that

"ne mogu ti nista osim srca dati, osim svoje ljubavi." (i can't give you anything other than my heart, other than my love.)

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

• Heizou - zarazi me svojim poljupcem

a lot of their songs are about tragic love yes so just take the angst lol back to heizou. now it's "infect me with your kiss" and it's canon because i'm the mole under his right eye. it's basically about begging for one last kiss and rejecting to believe that you left him. also in the chorus there's also "i prenesi, duso, tugu na mene" meaning "and pass, darling, the sorrow on me" also another thing i wanna say, "dusa(duša but i don't use the čćšđž in my language cuz i'm lazy)" means "soul" but when talking to a loved one or someone it can also mean "darling" so yeah. help i love this song sm

"sanjao sam nocima, da ti ljubim vrat." (i dreamt for nights, that i was kissing your neck)

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

• Xiao - sava tiho tece

"the Sava flows quietly" and the Sava is a river on the border between bosnia and croatia. and xiao doesn't really show emotions all that much but i think that this is what his brain would at least be like. really sad cuz he has to leave you aka you have to leave him. "zadnje nam je vece, draga. postala si dama." means "it's our last night, dear. you became a lady" and i think it suits him idk tho

"vec je meni, dal ces moci, poslije mene, ljubiti." (instead, it's to me, if you will be able, to love, after me.)

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

• Venti - kad si sam, druze moj

now honestly i had two ideas in mind. either this, "when you're alone, my friend" or "bolje biti pijan nego star" (better to be drunk than old) and let me tell you. if you're looking for a sad love song, see "bolje biti pijan nego star" but if you just want a good angsty song to relate to, i recommend this. "da si nista onome, ko je tebi bio sve." is "that you're nothing to the one, who was everything to you" and something tells me that he relates to that. love this song and i love venti too sooooo ("pio-ne pio" is basically "drink or not drink" without the "or". that's how we sometimes say stuff lol)

"hej, pio-ne pio, voljet cu te ja." (hey, drink-not drink, i will love you.)

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

• Gaming - sedam

basically "seven". yes, the number. 7. it talks about how without you, 7 days lasts like a day to him. also that eternity lasts for 7 days for him without you. i think it suits him, honestly. he wants you, but can't have you anymore, so he's mostly talking about his day/days and how they pass, always mentioning how it's not the same as before.

"cini mi se ljubav da je to..." (it seems like love to me...)

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

• Furina - sacuvaj zadnji ples za mene

STOP I IMAGINE FURINA DANCING TO THIS. IT FITS SO MUCH FHSHBSS "keep you last dance for me" and it's canon cuz i said so. "ma makar bio lazni, zagli me nocas, draga, najbolje sto znas." translates to "even if it's fake, hug me tonight, dear, the most you know" and it's basically like you're planning to part from her. i imagine this song tho YOU singing it to her. despite the first person male prns. still, i love the idea of it. "za mene vrijeme vise nema vaznosti, nije vazno ko je kriv." is "for me time doesn't have importance anymore, it doesn't matter who is guitly." i want to cry at every single word in this song because it's so much for furina. i can't listen to it without thinking of Focalors' last dance plssss it's so sad and it fits her so muchhhh

"kisne kaplje padaju po prozoru, mozda ce ti suze sakriti." (raindrops falling on the window, maybe they'll hide your tears.)

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

help it took me an hour and a half to make this.

i love it

i should stop obsessing over this lmao nobody is gonna understand me unless they understand the song/lyrics

i hope you liked it nonetheless

i want to do this again(i will sometime)
