One regret
Tighnari x Gn!reader
the letter is kinda inspired by the letter Ymir wrote to Historia, reader is a knight of Favonious at this point
angst, reader's death, mentioned of Albedo losing control, blood
a/n: I wrote this in one sitting, i did say that let you break my heart was angst, but I'll let you guess if this is actually just a scenario or not
The day Tighnari received that letter, the day showed no sign of trouble, blue skies, the gentle breeze, the children's laughter cheerful as always.
He was not prepared for someone showing up in front of him, pity and guilt written on their faces as they bowed their head at him, handing him a letter before walking away.
Curious about was written inside of it, he retreated to his room, opening it.
'To my dear Tighnari,'
This is your handwriting, he thinks, his tail slight wags as his ears perk up.
'As I'm writing this, the city of Mondstadt is on fire, building destroyed as my fellow comrades are trying make sure everyone is safe and alright after the long, hard fight against Albedo, you know, the guy who looks like a prince? My master in a way? Yes, he lost control and Miss Lumine managed to knock him unconscious, ultimately stopping his attacks on us.'
He could see the writing begining to become sloppy as if your hand was trembling while writing this.
'Speaking of Miss Lumine...she's right beside me as I write this, I keep telling her that everything is going to be okay. Honestly, I only did what I had to do to purify Albedo before he caused anymore damage to his home.'
His heart drops, hoping that what ever is what he's thinking... hoping that's just him thinking the worst.
'She promised to deliver this letter, if not, she would send someone she trusts to do it for her if she ends up being too busy. That said, I never thought I would chose to save Albedo over my own life....'
Dried blood stains the next piece of paper.
'then again....maybe in my own way, it was to repay him for helping me be the person I am today.'
His hands begins to tremble, at the next set of words.
'Forgive me....I no longer have the strength to hold the pen so Miss Lumine is writing it for me. I know what you must be thinking, I'll get straight to the point, I'm dying soon, purifying Albedo was too much for my body to handle. To be wide awake and speaking is a miracle..'
The water stains are a sign that Lumine must have been holding her tears in as she wrote, but failed to do so.
'but I'll die without regrets....is what I'll like to say.
Truth is, I do have one......
..is that I never got to see you and everyone else one last time.
I hope you can forgive me...
with love, Y/n.'
—
"Y/n! Y/n! Wake up, please!" Lumine shouts, tears rolling down her face uncontrollably as frantically tries to wake up as you laid on the floor beside her. Eyes closed as your face held such a peaceful expression as if you were only sleeping.
But the hole in your stomach and the amount of blood pouring from it was enough to show that you were gone.
The candle had finally burned out.
Lumine cries out, trembling as she held you close, the papers she held had fell on the floor in a puddle of your blood.
a/n: Tighnari angst go brr, and this isn't even the last one either, I still got another one soon.

Dieter Roth and Dorothy Iannone first met in 1967 and became lovers. They maintained a lifelong friendship after they separated in 1975 and until Roth’s death in 1998. Many of the postcards Roth sent to Iannone were wonderful declarations of love. Dorothy Iannone is a native Bostonian who was born in 1933. She graduated from Boston University in 1957 and went to Brandeis University to study English Literature. Iannone lives and works as an artist in Berlin today. Dieter Roth was a Swiss artist, born in Hanover in 1930. He is most well-known for his artists’ books, sculpture, and prints. Fine Arts Library owns some of his artists’ books.
Here’s a few examples from this wonderful exhibit catalog.
