[zettaiunmeis]

nothing pisses me off more than this fandom’s need to ignore every characters meaningful relationships to dickride for angsty paleskin men yes this is specifically about diluc and the excessive amount of uwu diluc and the mond kids content ive seen w the new mond event im about to start finding people, sneaking into their homes in the middle of the night and filling their ear canals with ketchup and ranch.

family man

read dni!!! warnings: abo, feminization (slightly), talks about kids, heats, messy idk

the future of his people weigh heavily on him, and he needs to make sure he picks the alpha that can get the job done. he's always wanted a big family, someone to rebuild his nations people with. he loves you, and he loves how good of a father you could be to his future children.

he watches you, sitting on your couch, biting his lips while he swirls a glass of sunsettia juice in his wine glass. you were currently cutting up some berries, cheese and preparing some snacks in a fun little basket. you were currently talking to him, asking him if he'd like to accompany you on the picnic you were planning. he could only nod as he grinded his thighs together, silently thankful that you were oblivious to his growing blush on his cheeks.

you've taken on a father role to a few of the youngins inside mondtstadt. and while you cannot be there as often as you'd wish, you still try your best. you would never want razor and bennett to grow up without a constant support system, and although you aren't their biological parents you try to make them feel as loved as possible. you introduced razor to his first birthday cake and showed him some new stuff for his birthday, and are always the first to wish bennett a happy birthday as well. diona has come over countless times to take a nap after dinner, and uses you as her confidant when her father has a few too many. sometimes she'll sleepover too. mika is a shy boy, and you often accompany him when he needs it. he's so shy, but sometimes... and just sometimes he'll break through his shell to you. you've carried him home sometimes after a long day, or will ruffle his hair when he beats himself up over something. even that kid timmy, you'll still go with him to feed the pigeons, or teach him cooking skills to bring to his mom. he's aware that you aren't his father, but its nice to have someone to rely on.

there's just something about you that draws people in. maybe its your personality, maybe its your kindness or reliability. maybe it was the muscles that show through your clothes, a sign of your protection and strength.

kaeya himself has alot of respect for you in that regard, and also finds it incredibly attractive how dedicated you are in everything you do. namely you're closest to bennett, razor, diona, and klee, and he could tell how much thought you were putting into a small picnic. and he, unlike you, isn't oblivious to the stares directed your ways, a gorgeous alpha with a golden heart is sure to make anyone act up.

and as you heard a knock on your door, some ruckus and a familiar voice apologize for accidentally tripping into your rose bushes, it wasn't hard to see how you looked forward to seeing your "kids" again.

god you'd be such a good dad, and you'd be an even better fit for him.

--------

it wasn't hard to miss how tired you were when you came back home, but kaeya could see it in your eyes how content you were. you gave him a quick peck on the cheek before pulling some leftover supplies and making dinner.

you told stories of how proud you were of bennett for trying to cook despite it still being inedible, or how proud you were of razor for carving his own path. how worried you were for diona and mika for their responsibilities, and how sad timmy seemed even after you spent a few hours watching ducks with him and eating berries. kaeyas eyes trailed over your figure, how your strong hands gripped the knife as you chopped some potatoes, how the apron hugged your shoulders and waist, how happy you seemed to see everyone again...

kaeyas omega purred as you sat the plate infront of him, you sitting beside him with your warm hand on his cold thigh, rubbing them up and down. he stayed quiet, eyes meeting yours before he brought you to a kiss. you just seemed so content and happy today, it made him wish that the two of you had your own to take care of. he'd bet a good sum of mora that they'd have his khaenri'ah eyes and would probably be the cutest things ever.

the two of you made small conversations throughout your meal, kaeya cleaning up while you showered from your long day. it wasn't long before you were snuggled into the sheets, not looking up from your book when kaeya crawled onto your lap. it was only when he purred, the scent of arousal starting to leak through the air that you decided to focus on your boyfriend.

his finger trailed down your chest, a shameless blush painted on his cheeks as he leaned in, "y'know, seeing you so good with kids is such a sight for sore eyes..," he smiled, grabbing your hand. "tell me darling, do you want kids of your own someday?" there was such a sweet seduction in your tone as he stared at you, trying to ignore the burning desire in his core.

"i'd love a couple of my own.." your hands snaked around his waist as you leaned in to kiss him, "especially if they were with you.." he closed his eyes as he kissed back, putting more and more pressure into the kiss. your hands pulled away, going to slowly peel the buttons off his shirt.

he purred against you, "i'm not in my heat right now darling." he seemed almost sad, before a sly grin replaced his slight frown. "buuuuut, who says that can stop us?" his hand slid down your body, thumbs hooking onto the loose pajama pants, fingers tracing your slight bulge in your pants.

"how about this, why don't we practice for my next heat?" he pulled your shorts down, his hand wrapping around your soft cock, "so that when it does come around, you can pop a kid in me." he purred those words out, desire burning out into his actions.

"h-hey kaeya, i'm all for it but don't i'm a bit tired.. i don't think i could get on top of you as long as i normally do.." his hands didn't stop, and he spat on his hand before he slowly jerked you off.

"i have no issues with that darlin," he slapped your cock against his cheeks, "i'll make sure to practice well, make sure you fill me up nice n good.."

kaeya was impossibly beautiful, even as he stared you down with those eyes, swollen cock around his lips. spit dribbled down his fingers and his lips while he stroked you, firmly and insistently. one hand left your cock, slowly travelling down to his entrance, slowly teasing his rim, checking to make the lube and preparations he did while you were gone.

once he deemed your cock wet enough, he sat on your lap, hands wrapping around your neck. he moaned into your neck when you pulled him closer to you, his dripping cock pressing against yours. you snuggled into his body, inhaling his scent before pressing the head of your cock against his hole, shuddering an exhale into his skin. the slick head of your cock circled around his rim, before you pushed into his ass, closing your eyes and enjoying the feeling.

kaeya was gripping onto your neck and your dick like an iron vice, everytime you tried to sink deeper into our gorgeous boyfriend he would let out a low, guttural moan. "i thought you said you would takeover for the night?" a poorly disguised tease left your lips and all he could do was grit his teeth, trying to hold back another grunt.

"s-shut it.. you're alot bigger then i remember from last heat.." even with your rough hands drawing circles on his hips, he was struggling to handle you fully inside of him.

yet in his horny mind, he couldn't be more turned on, or any more frustrated that he couldn't take you the same way he did during his heats. it hurt so good, in a way that made his head spin the same way it did when he was drowning in your scent.

yet that pain didn't stop him from rolling his hips on your dick, hands slowly sliding to grip your shoulders. slowly he ground his hips against yours, shuddering out breathes while you sat there patient, watching him lose that seductive facade. "f-fuck.. so good.." he muttered at you, slowly gaining more length to bounce on.

his hips continued to ride against yours, his body slowly getting used to you once more. sweat was starting to build on his forehead, and his hair was starting to get unruly. his hands scratched down your shoulders and torso, landing on your sides. drool was starting to leak down his mouth while he rode you, his shakiness disappearing and a natural rhythm forming.

"so good baby, you're so good.." you muttered into the air, toes curling at the pleasure. hes so good at taking your cock, you couldn't help but thrust into his body, enjoying how it threw him off, little hiccups of pleasure from reaching the deepest parts of him.

"m'gonna knock you up, keep you nice and full.." you muttered at him, feeling him tense around you. one of your hands drew to his weeping cock, a shocked moan leaving his lips. "you'd be such a good daddy too, such a good fucking father to our kids.." you stroked him off, feeling him grasp at your thick arms in desperation, crying out your name. it was the only coherent thing he could say, everything else just blabbers of pleasure and pain.

seeing such an explosive reaction really woke something up in you, "i'd bet you'd be so fucking hot, all bloated and pretty with my kids.." you brought him into a sloppy kiss, his lips leaking drool all over you. everytime you teased him, he would tighten around you, milking your cock for your cum.

kaeya rolled his hips once more, before he shuddered and tightened like a vice on you, watery cum shooting all over your stomach, leaking his cum down your hand that was still on his cock.

kaeyas chest heaved up and down, recovering from his orgasm while you stared at him, hand still on his softening cock and your dick deep inside of him.

"c'mon doll, show me how much you want to be a mama.." your hand slowly started to stroke his cock, getting a breathless moan from him. "you can do it.. just a bit more.."

and so he sat there, sweaty and blushed, his sore hips moving up and down on your dick, trying to keep it together while you watched him slowly come undone again. how he bit the inside of his cheeks whenever you hit that spot again, how he instantly moaned and shot you a flustered glare if you dare started to speed up your hands on his dick, everything.

"m'close kaeya.." god how your voice muttered his name, it made him even more desperate for you. he wanted your cum, your seed, he wanted your everything.

and when you finally grabbed his hips instead of his cock, manhandling him like a doll and thrusting all the way into him, he came again, a weaker, less explosive orgasm being milked on him. he could hear your franic breaths and see your chest rise and fall as you pounded into him, your balls tightening. your arms locked into his body firmly, your knuckles turning pale before a weak grunt left your lips, a few more following. he could feel your cum spurt into him, and did nothing while you forced him to stay still, feeling your seed bury itself deep into him.

the two of you stayed like that, kaeya too exhausted to move. he collapsed on your chest, lightly grimacing at the feeling of his own cum on his skin, relishing the warmth that was inside of him, and how full he felt.

he was about to fall asleep on your chest before you chuckled at him, "was that enough practice for you? let me get you a glass of water... and maybe a towel.." kaeya opened his eyes to give you a kiss, contentment in his chest.

god you'd be the best dad ever.

so i tried to make the reader dilf himbo flavoured but idk

ANYWAYS REBLOGS and COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS APPREICATED <3 love u guys (this was lowkey for mothers day oops)

[selfaware-bungou-stray-dogs]

Hi Question! Are there any people in thhe Genshin that helped us or Y/N or did everyone hate us and no one will be exemped from the BSD cast's revenge?

(like Kaeya,Albedo,Klee and etc since they're the characters mostly used that helped the Reader in SAGAU Imposter fanfics) ??

I use the idea, that False Creator, to establish their power, destroyed Celestia, making Abyss Order and Fatui incredibly loyal to them. Moreover, False Creator as kind and benevolent person.

Still, there are people, who will help Reader.

Who helped Reader:

1. Albedo, Alice and Klee - can't do much, unfortunately. Klee and kids are kept close to False Creator, because people of Teyvat believe, that it will be good for their kids to be in a presence of Creator. So, Alice and Albedo's hands are tied down, yet, they will do as much as she can.

2. Bennett, Razor and Fischl - don't believe, that Reader did something bad. Yet, they also can't do much. Fischl's parents believe in False Creator, Bennett's dads are also believing in False Creator and Razor's parental figures (Lisa and Varka) are hunting Reader. Moreover, The Adventures Guild can be disbanded, if False Creator asked Tsaritsa to do it.

3. Yaoyao - she is a kind girl and will help Reader. She will patch their wounds and help them to get from Liyue to Sumeru.

4. Baizhu and Qiqi - Baizhu is a doctor, and it would be against his principles to turn down the patient. He and Qiqi will try to help Reader, will even hide Reader for a few days, so they can have some rest.

5. Yoimiya - saw, how Reader played with kids, agreed to listen to them. Believed Reader. She and her father will keep Reader hidden until they find a way to leave Inazuma.

6. Nahida and Aranaras - know, that False Creator are false. Will protect Reader as much, as they can. Will end up locked away, protecting Reader.

7. Alhaitham and Kaveh - don't view False Creator as someone good. They will protect Reader after Nahida and Aranaras were captured.

8. Melusines - saw, that False Creator are false. Will protect Reader till the end, will even go against Neuvillette, who is on Fake Creator's side.

9. Furina - after what she had to go through, she doesn't believe, that False Creator has anything good in them. Why they didn't return earlier? Why they didn't stop the prophecy? She doesn't have much power, but she will do whatever she can, protecting Reader.

This people (creatures) will not only be spared from BSD Cast's revenge, they will be offered to be transported into the Real World.

[thatdeadaquarius]

How about Benny in SAGAU? Like a continuation with Razor?? We do not talk about your growing found family 😤

Like, how would be his 'unluckiness'? Dya cancel it or you get pulled with his shenanigans? I feel like he might introduce you to his Dads no, we are still not going to talk about it 😤😤

A little scenario kept getting into my head when Benny applies Pyro and then Razor used his Electro and y'all got yer asses pounded on the ground 💀👌🏻and just taking care of each other's wounds 🥺🥺

You better be with him whenever he opens a chest so it wouldn't only spawn veggies, but decent weapon AND mora as well! You know, actual treasures, HOYO!!

BENNYYYYY ANOTHER ONE OF MY BOYSSS

This kid also arguably needs more parental supervision just bc of his sheer bad luck, poor kid

(i adore the headcanon that no matter the person's gender, he calls them dad lol)

Like,, hoyo cursed him and he's in a world with traps, monsters, fatui, MAGIC?? 💀 bro how is Benny still alive??!!

(LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY LOOK IN THIS GIF MY BOYS 🥺)

Okay but the fact that Benny calls so many ppl dad just proves his desire for parental/sibling affection 💔

Aight since u phrased this as a continuation of this post <3 RAZOR MY BOYYYY

That is what we shall do :) ! ! !

So ur running with the wolves still lol

Also ur symbol as the Creator reader is 🦄 or 🌈, bc ur gay and special, jk its bc elements i promise lol

Or even 😑 / 😶 for language reader shenanigans

♡

EDIT 4/11/24: HELLA forgot to say theres a sorta Part 3, its more focused on Razor living, rather than Benny tho fair warning!

Lupical for life bro

U r chillin with the pack now

Razor now has a sweet new digs, fits, and now a crazy amount of power

Bc ur just that great 💅

You have officially moved on to purchasing some leftover amenities/new furniture etc. for him and you :D

And while u could get some stuff in Springvale, like lanterns and soap and perfume and whatnot

Ur still not rlly getting furniture like a bedframe or some storage space, like a nightstand, from them

Which u dont need bc u still got an inventory

...but Razor definitely needs to store all his goodies somewhere that isnt up a tree or buried in a hole 😃

Yes, u did have to tell him to stop doing that.

So yall (u and Razor) are in Mondstadt a lot these days, and ur routine consists of grinding domains, hunting for food, hanging with cute Lupical puppies, playing giant tic-tac-toe w/ Andrius bc poor guy is pretty bored these days etc.

So you figured you run into ppl eventually, afterall you'd already re-met Lisa :)

(who at first was kind of taken aback to Razor having made a random adult friend in the woods, but after vibe checking her , and her vibe checking you, yall were cool, tho she did start reading these new lore books you didnt recognize called "Immortal They Return: A Series of Prophesies", she avoided ur questions abt it too..)

It was inevitable that after introducing you to Lisa, he'd gotten all excited at seeing two familiar figures hanging around Kathryne one day

THE BANDS GETTING BACK TOGETHER, ITS-

Fischl and Bennett !! :D the cutest adventurers in all of Mondstadt ! (besides Klee)

The two take one look at you and Razor and coming running

..

...

....well mostly Fischl,

Bennett got his boot laces tangled together somehow? And is kinda hopping his way over

Immediately the electro vision royalty launches into their quintessential speech (they/them fischl SUPREMACY)

And as u get introduced,

U watch the pyro boy hop and trip over while trying to untie the laces

And just as he's about to go down, and ur debating reaching out and supporting the poor guy bc geez this looks sm worse in person-

Bennett has finally gotten his shoes untied!

Even he looks shocked 💀

And he like, apruptly stops falling over too?

And walks over with no issue??

Theres even a few out of place cobblestones in his path which he sees and moves to avoid

You dont know who looks more shocked and kinda scared you, him, or Fischl/Oz or Razor

Fischl and Razor have stopped talking bc it was more distracting Bennett didnt fall 😭

..

...yall all just kinda,, stand in a circle of silence (well fly in oz's case)

Staring at Bennett.

(Even Katheryne looks impressed😭)

After a couple of shook seconds, Fischl is nearly yelling about some kind of curse being lifted?? , Razor is like, sniffing Bennett's immediate area for sus scents, Bennett is kicking rocks to see if any of them hit him anymore, and poor Oz is trying to calm them down

(none of the rocks hit Bennett btw, or anything valuable around him)

◇

So after that fiasco, u offer to take them around to the parts of Mondstadt they weren't allowed to go to w/o at least 1 adult :)

Theyre pumped and yall set off!

At first, Bennett hangs back, as Fischl and Razor throw themselves into monster battles yall encounter, as per what seems like a routine u assume bc of his bad luck

Eh, u figure while hes here, u might as well reveal u can make him stronger, u think he definitely needs the HP...

If there were any characters youd be worried about needing more power/HP in Mondstadt that u could level up besides Razor, itd be Bennett, hands down.

Between his adventuring, unnatural bad luck, and no parental supervision..

(even Klee seems better off than him, and shes like 7 💀)

Yeah, needless to say u were worried abt the guy

So he looks adorably fascinated <3, bc turns out they can see some of ur interface!

Mostly it looks like floating magical icons and that weird Teyvat language u saw in game, like that Abyss/ruins language u see all the time?

Bennett showed u his perspective in a sand drawing, hes actually pretty good at art wow

Razor couldnt rlly find the words to describe it before which is why u werent sure what they saw before now

And with that hes called into battle last by the others, mostly to apply pyro 🔥

and he fights at the edges to be further away from ppl u notice so he wont affect their luck..

aw Benny </3 :(

But as he draws his sword and ur getting ready trying to become a cheerleader for both Razor and Fischl but particularly Bennett,

He full on takes out 3 hilichurls at once 💀

...then with the dramatic down swing he does, he accidentally launches a rock right at the bigger hilichurl's foot..

...which trips him out of his axe swing...

...which makes it let go of the axe...

...which goes flying...

....breaks the last bit of the cryo abyss mage's shield bubble...

....

......

........and smacks it on the head too.

..fischl, oz, and razor halfway thru this insanity just like,, lower their weapons and stop to watch

Even the abyss mage is looking at Bennett surprised 😭😭

◇

Congratulations!

Bro, an achievement pops up-

"Lucky Day!!!"

Its little description says, "As Teyvat's God, you give the unluckiest person in Teyvat the luckiest day ever!"

💀

Bennett just sits down on the ground.

♤

(Same Benny because, this is where I lost it all, guys. All of that writing. Gone. Forever. I'm putting this here as both a gravestone for it, and a call out to tumblr. I'm not afraid of this website or its shitty admins, meet me in my dms for a real fight you fucks 🥊🥋🧍‍♂️you took what mattered to me, I'll take what matters to you, you god awful programmers. 🥲😐)

♤

And it just keeps happening like that for the rest of the day you guys are together.

Every chest Benny opens are way higher quality than they should be

Especially for him.

(also u have gotten so comfy from before when u were playing Genshin that u r physically struggling not to call him Benny, so when u do accidentally call him that, u try to apologize politely, but he just talks about finally having a nickname so giddy that u just stick with Benny, what a cutie)

Common chests, Razor/Fischl gets what u expect, you personally maybe get a little extra materials and money,

But Benny?

He opens a common chest and suddenly it's a secret Precious chest

The pyro boy honestly looks a little afraid

◇

You guys have a picnic later on for lunch together, partially bc Razor rlly wanted them to try ur food !! :D

Fischl and Benny were drooling over garlic salt, jesus- Teyvat's been deprived-

The blanket u used was a custom one u got made for Razor for his bday awhile back, all diff shades of purple and some silver wolf puppies and pawprints on it, 10/10 vv cute he loves it :)

(and also showed it off to his friends, Benny in particular looks smitten by it..)

◇

Fischl eventually gets herded by Oz back to Mondstadt bc of their parents wanting them back by dinner,

So u Razor and Benny r left to wander around :]

As u guys explore and get chests and talk,

U all begin to gather ingredients for dinner (not that u dont have an inventory but the boys dont wanna cut into ur supplies, the sweethearts)

... Benny slowly starts to find and accumulate foodstuffs

Those Phileano? mushrooms (the white toasty looking ones that r always on roofs or windmills?)

He finds at eye level on nearly any building u come across.

Crabs?

Benny currently has his shirt turned into a basket trying to contain them, and more are flocking to him lol

Snap dragons? Calla lilies?? Even violetgrass, those purple horsetails, lotus heads, and a few qingqin from Liyue somehow make it into his bag 💀

The real question to ask at this point is, when wasn't Bennett lucky today??

(wow never thought youd hear that one)

◇

So its a few weeks later, and Benny is like spending, every day with yall now lol

Ur getting dinner ready for u guys, and ur hopefully gonna make enough to leave leftovers for Lupical and Andrius,

So Razor has gone off to get some water to boil,

And Benny is climbing this huge tree to reach some eggs

And as he gets farther and farther up the tree away from you, he starts to slip more often 😬

Finally as he reaches the top, u realize after weeks without even a trip from him whenever hes around yall, why he wasnt unlucky-

...the closer he is to you, the luckier he is, and the farther Benny is-

He steps on a dead branch and it snaps :0 !!

Just as he falls, he screams and yells,

"DAD!!"

U push together some thick bushes and vines to catch him luckily

(lord knows u couldnt have caught him no matter how light he is, rip benny)

..Benny is okay, but he does go red in the face, and when u ask if he wants u to get one of his dads from the guild to check him over/make him feel better?

He says quickly "NO THANKS!"

Then Razor comes back like, "You call Lupical dad now?"

Benny: "What? No!"

You: "Do u see me as a, father figure, Bennett?"

Benny: "NO- more like I see u as a BOTHER figure bc ur always BOTHERING ME-"

Lol anyways jk

what a cutie tho,

(Ur Creator vibes made him feel vv at home in a way he hasnt felt before, so u got the honors early <3)

so ur a Dad™️ now (regardless of ur gender btw)

hope u like having a pack of puppies, a wolf spirit god, a wild wolf raised boy, and another wild but adventurer guild raised boy as ur family now 🤷‍♂️

Congratz U R THE FATHER LMAO

♧

You may or may not have also gotten onto Benny for charging straight into battle at other times, bc hes so used to bad luck happening anyway, apparently its canon he will just run in???

(to the point Grand Master VARKAS commented on it??!!)

U were pissed, bonked his head and everything-

He looked sufficiently chastised, but when u originally found out Fischl and Razor were nearby,

And u just hear snickering behind u as u bop him

(U bop them later too for that lol)

◇

Benny is also very good at treating injuries bc of this too apparantly,

So one time when you Razor and him were engaging with a couple hilichurls again on the way to Windrise,

Benny applied pyro, and bc u were standing father away than usual (there was an archer earlier u were dodging)

His bad luck crept in and when Razor went to charge up his wolf spirit electro ult-

...everyone went flying back.

...Including Benny and Razor 💀

You heard a really sick pop!

From Benny's shoulder :(

You quickly start pullin out the healing foods lol shove a fishstick in his mouth screaming IT HEALS like a crazed grandparent lmao

But Benny has already sighed and sat up, popping his arm back into place

🤢🤮

You^

While u do praise his healing??? skills,

U have found out thru him that apparently ur food also gives some pain killer effects

So u scold him and bop him on the head with some dango 🍡

For not waiting on u to help him lol

..

Which btw-

Any healing food u give him, he treats like the bandages many others give him, like Barbara, Katheryne, his guild dads, etc.

And holds onto them, rarely eating them

(Ur stuff preserves until needed bc its magical Creator powers surprise, surprise)

Benny feels like its a tangible piece of your care he can keep with him <3 sobs

"Well, since you're by my side, I guess I'm not that unlucky after all!"

proud of you son :')

♤

Ok so youve been getting Razor and u furnishings right

And youve been asking him what he wants to add to the caves digs ! :]

(U made a more fortified "front door" to the cave entrance, its also not that deep of a cave so there r only like 3 other "rooms" besides the main entrance area)

U improved both of u guys beds (tho razor will crash urs if he has a nightmare)

Along with some new outfits for him!

And so he has requested some stuff, but as time goes on,

Slowly, Razor goes from telling Benny about what new thing u added or telling his friend abt what he wants for the cave/himself,

To asking Benny what he wants bc he stays over so often 😭

(Youve gotten Benny factored into ur finances now lol, u gave him new clothes, new gear, amenities, etc. It also helps him bc he doesnt rlly have a main caretaker, so if he needs money he has to take commissions, which can be dangerous to him alone bc if u dont know, Benny's Adventuring Team only has him as the single member of it, plus thats not good if he is too sick or too injured to work, so a 2nd source of lowkey income is good for him <3 )

◇

U now have a coffee table as the dinner table (razor was used to sitting on the ground to eat so a high table felt weird to him)

And it has a few pillow chair thingys?

For you, Razor, Benny, and a guest aw 💘

Benny also originally wanted to help make smth for u guys as a house warming gift

but bc he would try to work on it away from ur influence, it would break everytime :(

Eventually u just coninvced the poor kid to help u pick out some nice rugs and stuff lol

He also has surprisingly good interior design tastes, huh, who knew?

(cough when benny stays over he usually stays in razors bed, but occasionally theyre both lonely had nightmares and ask to crash with u, i love these kids sm cough)

♧

Recently youve been visiting Benny in town even w/o Razor sometimes (rare as it is lol)

Mostly bc it seems like he needs the attention too <3

U gotta make sure hes eating real food okay

U dont want him to end up like u in ur world where u ate snacks for dinner when u were his age...

And Benny gets super hype about it every time, hes grabbing u by the arm, hauling u around to talk to ppl etc.

(Did i mention ur one of the few or not at all ppl who he can freely hold onto no matter the weather/situation bc his bad luck doesnt happen to you?? Oh no??? Well there u go :)

Most notably, to talk to the other Guild Dads™️

They deadass lowkey postured at you for an hour at you before giving in bc u seemed to be the only good luck charm the kid's ever gotten in his entire life 😭

They also r rlly happy someone is able to bc of his rlly bad luck willing to look out for him when they cant :)

♡

For his birthday, you guys all celebrated by doing a picnic again like when u first met them, and you made him a cake

Benny's face rlly said " :'D !! "

Later on, for presents, you got him a blanket matching Razor's !!

Shades of red, with some good luck symbols thruout to maybe make up for when ur not there, and puppies all over <3

And at the top, you yourself embroidered (attempted, so its kinda sloppy but still readable, its endearing you like to think)

"Benny's Adventure Team"

With your name, Razor, Fischl, and even Oz and Andrius lol, all embroidered (not by u bc u stabbed urself enough times making the title thx) as team members down below 👍

You also show him a copy of the book record Katheryne keeps of adventuring teams, telling him that you snuck into Mondstadt one day w/o him knowing and officially signed you guys together (the others agreed too ofc)

.

..

...

...Benny cried, straight up.

And just like held onto you for bascially the rest of the day ❤️

♡

MY HEART FOR MY BOYS FOREVER

♡

(you also may or may not have signed the corner with "love, dad" haha what)

I just want y'all to know.

I had like this whole thing ready to post.

Then tumblr decided it didn't like any of my writing, and deleted half of this post.

U probably saw the spot i marked where i lost it all :'/

I think it took an hour? Or at least 30 minutes to write.

Guess tumblr didn't like that I was adding so much in one go.

So now it's gone.

Doin smth ballsy bc in order to avoid that, ive just rewritten that lost half, and am just going to post it straight up rather than expecting it to save my draft 🥲

Those beautiful moments between Bennett and us, are gone forever. My memory isn't good enough to rewrite it all. ;-;

If you don't mind, I'll be crying somewhere over those lost Benny moments that I drafted on here and can no longer remember to add.

I guess that's tumblr's cruel way of telling me to go the extra mile and draft my bullshit on a literal Google Doc then come back here and deal with the formatting transition hell.

Thanks tumblr.

Appreciate the writing advice.

💔

(Fischl Voice) TIS I, WATERS OF THE SKY, IN THE NIGHT I SHINE UPON THEE, OH MOST HEAVENLY OF DIVINE BEINGS, FEAST YOUR EYES UPON MY OFFERINGS TO THINE BELOW!! COME ONE, COME ALL, FIND MY LABRYNTH'S RULES, AND REJOICE IF YE FIND THE TREASURE WITHIN!

(Oz translation: hey its aquarius here! I hope you gods enjoyed my writing! Feel free to check out my Masterpost/Writing Rules List if you guys ever wanna request something, including non-Sagau/Isekai stuff! :] )

Cheers,

Hey not sure if yall will see this, but while this does have influences of Sagau/Isekai genshin, its still pretty just platonic genshin stuff, so let me know if thats not what u wanna be tagged for - just dm me!!)

[azaenya]

Thinking about Fischl, specifically in reference to The Wizard of Oz

I used to think that that was what she was primarily referencing, but there were some very well-written dissections connecting her more to Norse mythology and stuff

But why don't I just do it anyway? It's just for fun either way

But before I get to Fischl, I want to connect some other relevant characters to Oz as well. Mostly people that are paired with Fischl often: Noelle, Bennett, and Barbara. Unfortunately, no Razor. I don't know where to fit him in, so I figured keeping him out would be more respectful than making him fuckin Toto.

NOELLE as The Scarecrow

The Scarecrow's issue is that he wants to be wise, but he, quite literally, lacks the brains to be so. Of course, the twist is that, even without a brain, he had wisdom all along. I feel like that encapsulates Noelle very well. Her deal is that she wants to be a Knight of Favonius, but she never makes the cut. So she constantly studies and helps others, trying to gain a "brain," if you will. Of course, my reading (/headcanon) is that she was always capable enough to be a Knight, and it was an external issue that stopped her. A bonus point is that, in the book, the Scarecrow is a stand-in for the common farmer, looked down upon for not being "educated," but has the valuable skill of common sense. And I think we can extend that metaphor to low ranking jobs, like maids. You see where I'm going with this.

BENNETT as the Tin Woodsman

The Woodsman, while kind and gentle, desires a heart, so he can feel love. Bennett, because of his bad luck, feels like he drives everyone away, and he is in search of friends and connections. He wants people to like him, and just like the Woodsman, they both always had it from the very beginning.

BARBARA as the Cowardly Lion

This one's a doozy. The Cowardly Lion wishes to have courage like how lions are commonly portrayed. Barbara is of the Gunnhildr clan, (also associated with lions) but she was never able to display the strength necessary to satisfy her mother. So she always felt like she came short of the expectation of what she should have been. But even now, as a Pegg and a pacifist, she has always been worthy. She displays her noble nature through her kindness and compassion for helping others.

(Mihoyo did her dirty and she deserves better)

FISCHL as Dorothy AND The Wizard of Oz

Fischl is complicated because I feel like she is able to embody both Dorothy and the titular Wizard, Oz. In Oz, Fischl likes to portray herself as the great and powerful Prinzessin, but in reality, she is acting out that role. Now, the book paints Oz out as a conman, the adult who tells lies, but I'd rather not say that's what Fischl is. What she is doing is harmless, and she should be allowed to do it. Where you might put the conman part is in people's reactions to her. Her parents most certainly don't support her Fischl side, feeling like "the lie" has gone on too long. And that brings us to Dorothy, the young girl from Kansas, swept up by a tornado, who just wants to go home. "Home," in Fischl's case, isn't literal (one would sure hope not), but rather a place where she can be herself and be respected for what she chooses to do with her life. The Found Family, mwah 🤌 And the way home had been by her side all along.

Looking at this, I'm wondering how much of this is intentional, because it hasn't escaped me that a tornado was the inciting incident that lead Dorothy to The Land of Oz. And... well... Mondstadt. The place associated with wind. Yeah.

Anyway, not sure if you can connect other characters to the book, but I'll always encourage others to try.

I can't wait for a 9 page essay on how Diluc is the Bumpy Man. 👍

Diona Katzlein

she/her

10

Family: Draff Katzlein (Father), Diluc Ragnvindr (FF Dad since draff sucks), Margaret (FF Mom), Eury (FF Mom), Fischl (FF Sister)

Best Friend: Klee Babler

Diona has type 1 diabetes. Margaret helps her get insulin and dietary supplements.

She has tourettes. Her most common tics are meows, hisses, mouth pops, whistles, and jumping.

Diona is very sensitive to sound. Diluc commissioned Albedo to make soundproof earplugs made specifically for her ears.

Diona goes "fishing" with Klee. She turns all of the fish Klee blasts into her specialty dish, and the two use them for picnics.

She loves birdwatching. She sometimes has the urge to catch them, but she stops herself. This is how she teaches herself self control.

Fischl taught her how to use her bow

Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort (I did the actual Fischl and the Immernachtreich Fischl because I wanted to highlight some differences)

she/they/he/xe/star/starself/nil/thy/one

16

Xenogender, Omnisexual, Polyamorous

Currently dating Bennett Faust and Razor Minci

Family: Mother and Father, Diluc (FF Father), Diona (FF Sister), Mona Megistus (FF Sister)

Best Friend: Oz

Fischl has autism, ADHD, tourettes, and BPD. SHe is also a maladaptive daydreamer.

Fischl loses sleep due to how often she stays up writing her books. Diluc gives her tea to help her sleep.

Speaking of which, they spend a lot of time at the winery to avoid going home to their parents. Diluc gave them their own room that they can decorate however they want.

Xe taught Diona how to use her bow. Xe is mostly self-taught, but Kaeya helped xem learn the basics.

Diluc lets star borrow his falcon so that star can take it and Oz on playdates. Star loves watching them fly together, but it reminds star of stars lack of friends. Diona offers to come with star, though, so star feels less alone.

Immernachtreich Fischl looks significantly different from the real Fischl. Most noticeably, their more confident expression and lack of eyebags. She also has a smile, while the real Fischl has RBF.

Diluc Ragnvindr

ANGST WARNING BTW

he/him

24

Transgender man, Biromantic, Homosexual

In an unlabeled relationship with Venti

Family: Crepus Ragnvindr (Dad), Kaeya Alberich-Ragnvindr (Brother), Diona Katzlein (FF Daughter), Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort (FF Daughter)

Best Friend: how do i say this nicely. none.

Everytime Diluc sees Kaeya and Eula drinking together, he feels a pang of sadness. When this happens, he gets Charles to cover his shift so he can take a break. He doesn't want his patrons to see him sad because of his brother finding a new family.

Diluc has severe burns on his hands from the delusion.

He wears a necklace under his suit. It has a starconch that Kaeya gave him as a kid. He keeps it there in hopes that it'll somehow help him get his brother back.

He has a lot of extra rooms in the Dawn Winery. One was given to Venti, another to Fischl, and another to Diona whenever she wants to stay there...but Kaeya's room is never occupied. It's exactly the same as it was when he left six years ago. Diluc's kept it the same, and occasionally just sits in there when he misses his brother.

Diluc loves animals, even though the only pet he has is his falcon. He has a special soft spot for cats, but he never lets them near the winery in order to keep Venti safe.

Eula Lawrence

she/her

27

Cisgender Woman, Asexual, Lesbian

Dating Amber Hasenkamp

Family: Kaeya Alberich-Ragnvindr (FF Brother), Mika Schmidt (FF Brother)

Best Friend: Jean Gunnhildr

I don't have many thoughts about Eula tbh, I always kinda forget she exists.

She has BPD and depression. She often loses sleep trying to figure out how to make people like her.

She spars with Kaeya all the time to try and hone her sword skills. She never spars with him using her claymore, though. She doesn;t want to remind him of the fight with Diluc.

She sees Mika as a little brother, though Mika always gets nervous when she's around. She tries to be super nice to him, though. She's also helped him learn techniques that help with his anxiety.

Albedo Kreideprinz

they/he/she/it

~24 physically, possibly 500+

Agender, Asexual, Demiromantic, Biromantic

Dating Sucrose Hertz

Family: Rhinedottir (Mother), Durin (Brother), Fellflower (Sibling), Alice Babler (FF Aunt), Klee Babler (FF Sister)

Best Friend: Sucrose Hertz

Albedo is autistic (obviously). They hyperfocus on their projects for days at a time and forget to take care of themself. Sucrose takes it upon herself to bring them food, water, coffee, tea, meds, whatever they need. Honestly, they neglect themself so often that they'd be dead if it weren't for Sucrose.

She has a pet mouse that she keeps in the lab. She was gonna use it for an experiment, but decided against it. The mouse has been in the lab for over a year now and is named Fritz.

Albedo wears gold makeup to highlight the mark on his neck. He's extremely proud of it, as it reminds him of his imperfections. He also has golden streaks in his hair and Khaenri'ahn pupils.

He sends letters to Cyno and Tighnari. He tells Tighnari about his experiments and exchanges jokes and TCG strategies with Cyno.

Sucrose Hertz

she/they (doesn't care though)

23

Nonbinary, Bisexual

Dating Albedo Kreideprinz

Family: Klee Babler (FF Sister), Collei (FF Sister)

Best Friend: Albedo Kreideprinz

Sucrose has really bad anxiety (duh). She's also selectively mute and knows sign language. Albedo makes anxiety medicine specifically for her.

They have a crush on Rosaria, but are too afraid to say anything about it.

She has her own garden, which she grows sweet flowers in. They're her favorite type of flower. She has a separate garden that she grows fruits and vegetables in, which she donates to the Cathedral for their soup kitchen.

She sends letters to Collei talking about her experiments and experiences with anxiety, helping Collei learn how to cope with her stress.

The surname I gave her, Hertz, means heart.

Mika Schmidt

she/they

15

Transfem, Bisexual

Family: Huffman Schmidt (Brother), Eula Lawrence (FF Sister)

Best Friend: Bennett Faust

Mika is a HUGE Barbara fan, but is too scared to talk to her. She goes to all of her concerts and gives warnings to her fan club that, if they mess with her life, she WILL arrest them.

She's come close to arresting Albert more times than she can count.

They have awful anxiety. Eula helps them learn how to manage it.

Kaeya taught them how to use their vision and Rosaria taught them how to use their polearm.

I don't have many thoughts about Mika, sorry. She's one of the two four stars I don't have, so I haven't read much about her.

Rosaria Nacht

she/they/vamp

27

Transgender Woman, Aroace

Family: Varka (FF Dad), Razor (FF Brother), Barbara (FF Sister)

Best Friend: Kaeya Alberich-Ragnvindr

Okay first of all I replaced her eyes with Immernachtreich Fischl's since I don't like how her eyes are a different art style than everyone else's.

She's SUPER pale. This is due to her having anemia. She often takes iron supplements to help with this, but she's still super pale. It's also because she's a night owl and almost never gets sun. This has led to many rumors about her being a vampire, but she doesn't mind. She likes being feared.

Vamp is friends with Diluc and often gives him updates on how Kaeya's doing. Vamp is also one of the few people who knows that he's the Darknight Hero, and the two work together a lot.

They get antidepressants from Sucrose for free.

The surname I gave her, Nacht, means night watchman.

Astrologist Mona Megistus

she/they/star/starself

26

Transgender Woman, Bisexual

Family: Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort (FF Sister)

She wears a full-length dress and blue makeup. She also has glasses.

Mona works with Lisa a lot to try and cure her curse.

They have a crush on Rosaria, but aren't really interested in pursuing it, especially since they know Rosaria's aroace.

She has a pet cat named Effie. Effie is a Birman and often stays in Mona's library, sleeping on the bookshelves. Effie hates Oz and tries to eat him whenever Fischl visits.

Star graduated from the Akademiya in the Rtawahist darshan, but star also took a lot of Vahumana classes and is a licensed therapist. Star reads people's constellations and learns their pasts, then star helps them cope with any issues they have. Star also prescribes medicine if needed, sending a prescription to Sucrose and Albedo.

Mondstadt's freedom of choice

I've always been curious about the quotes in the Teyvat Chapter Trailer and whether there is any purpose in the featured characters of each nation.

There are a lot of aspects about freedom present in Mondstadt's lore and chapter, but this specific quote always sounded to me like it alluded to choice.

Is something that has been imposed on you still your choice? How do you know it's your choice when you don't have a say in the matter?

Venti's relationship with ruling

Decabarian, the ruling god of old mondsdadt, never meant to oppress his people when he imposed confinement from the outside world. He thought he was doing right by them because he believed he was protecting them from the cold, and interpreted their submission as a satisfied response. The rebellion caught him by surprise.

From Venti's character story 4:

"The ruler had believed that he had given his subjects a city free from the bitter cold, and to the end, he believed that they had loved him as he loved them."

With this thought in mind, Venti chose not to act as a ruling god in Mondstadt so that he (or anybody else) would never deceive himself into tyranny.

This was, of course, for the sake of his people's future, but wasn't the seat of archon also imposed on Barbatos?

Venti didn't mean to become a god, let alone an archon, he supported the people of Mondstadt because he believed in the dreams of his bard friend, who wanted to see the outside world. When Decabarian was defeated, Boreas also removed himself as a candidate, and they were the only ones fighting for the seat in this side of teyvat (aside from their already existing territorial dispute), so Barbatos became the victor by default.

Thus, shouldn't deciding when and how he helps Mondstadt be his choice, too? And not just because he owes it to his title?

Out of the archons we've met so far, Venti is the only one who exists to his people solely in his actions rather than in presence. They know their god through the way he transformed the land and through the ballads and poems about him, they do not know him in person, but they pray for his blessing and comically attribute every good thing that

happens to his doing. And yet, they act self sufficiently (and almost in a workaholic way) due to the gratitude and admiration they hold for him.

Venti isn't the god of Mondstadt just because he holds a tilte, he is their god because he willingly chooses to be; and his people recognise him as their god not because they're told he is, but because they genuinely see him as such. That is to say, this relationship between them would exist whether Venti was been given a gnosis or not.

The concept of chosen family

Rather than subjects or believers, the people of Mondstadt are the children of the anemo archon. And as it turns out, this concept of family (blood or otherwise) seems like a very big aspect of their identity as a nation, especially considering the last event in 3.1, titled "Of Ballads And Brews".

Mondstadt welcomes outsiders as children of Barbatos, such as Amber's grandfather and Rosaria, and so its people too can also define their own concept of family.

Like Rosaria chooses to see Varka as her new paternal figure (and Razor as a brother, by extension); or the old adventurers who chose to raise Bennett as their son; or Alice allowing Klee to grow close to the knights as her older siblings, especially Albedo, who had no ties to anyone but his teacher prior to arriving in Mondstadt.

The land of freedom is full of artificial relationships that make a point of being no less important than blood relations, but that also means blood relations are just as important, and they can be chosen too, even if they are imposed by nature. There's Razor who found family among the wolves, and at the same time still longs to meet his biological parents; there's Jean still wanting to have a relationship with her younger sister Barbara, even though they have grown apart after their parents' divorce. Furthermore, these imposed ties can also be broken, like Eula leaving her clan and their legacy behind in order to honor her own principles.

It's not that found family has the same value as blood bonds, but that the definition of "family" is independent from such ties.

Beyond family relations, there is a sense of belonging that redefines these characters' identity. Foreigners like Amber's grandfather who chose to become a part of the nation's knights and started a family with a local; and Kaeya, whose loyalty is split between Khaenri'ah, his country of origin that abandoned him, and Mondstadt, the nation that raised him.

That which is imposed and that which is chosen

I find Diluc to be a fitting character to represent this conflict.

His father imposed his own ambitions on him since he was a child, and Diluc never questioned them. Being a knight, and thus upholding what being a Knight of Favonius stands for, is his conviction because it is his father’s wish. When he gets his vision at early age, he takes it as "a sign of recognition of both his and his father shared ambition”, thinking that finally "he could make his father proud”.

After the fatal accident, he’s faced with the reality that, first, his father was not who he thought he was and, second, the knights themselves cannot guarantee their own principles to be enforced. Both were so embedded into Diluc’s identity at that point, that it is inconceivable for him to remain the same, so he leaves the knights to investigate the origins of his father’s delusion. 

It is worth noting that when he leaves the knights, he leaves his vision behind too, believing it to be nothing but a burden. He parts ways with this imposed ambition and distances himself from Mondstadt (and his home). But then, years later, holding the same grudge, he still comes back to protect Mondstadt, this time from the shadows, to still follow the teachings his father instilled in him (regardless of if Crepus believed them or not) and the principles of the Knights of Favonius that the institution once betrayed. He’s matured at this point, and only sees his vision as an extension of his own conviction and strength.

We could say then, that Diluc’s journey is one of autonomy, of proving that his original conviction is real and it rightfully belongs to him, and always did. He's still doing what his father imposed on him, still protecting the land of freedom as a child of Barbatos, but in a way that's legitimate for himself, because it is his genuine choice after all.

The same way barbatos chooses to be the god of Mondstadt, and the people of Mondstadt choose him as their god without relying on his title of archon.

And so, true freedom means genuine choice.

[fictionkinfessions]

Joining Fukase with the pride month submissions! But I'll just be specific to one tl since I have way more of these than I thought I did. (getting mems while writing kinfessions moments)

Happy pride to My aroace me and my bisexual queerplatonic partner Collei!

And my lovely Bisexual friends Fischl and Bennett who probably still to this day cannot figure out that they like eachother /teasing

To my Lesbian single mother Lisa, and her life partner Jean (whos sexuality I do not remember. And yes I did still say Lisa was single. Idk what their relationship was but it wasnt romantic dating or a qpr?? Lisa always considered herself single at least so that is what I will repeat.)

To my pansexual father figure Kaeya, and my demisexual uncle figure Diluc.

To all of Bennetts Poly Gay Dads.

To Colleis never-married-but-definitely-divorced dads aromantic bisexual Cyno and "I don't know I just like people sometimes" Tighnari.

To Collei's "Yes we're gay. No we're not dating. Stop asking" Uncles Alhaitham and Kaveh.

To my sapphic almost kinda sorta sister figures Noelle, Rosaria, and Nonbinary transfem Sucrose.

To my aroace Lesbian aunt Alice. (She would never let me call her an "aunt figure" like I do everyone else in my family pfft). And her "I dont care as long as they like explosions" daughter Klee (who I think probably grew up to ID as aro or demi? but the bomb quote is funnier)

To my "gender doesnt exist but I guess you can say Im a boy" kinda cousin/kinda sibling figure Albedo.

To Amber and Eula, most stable couple in the entirety of the Knights of Favonius.

To trans man Mika who was always so scared to say solidly that he was a binary trans man because "what if he changes his mind" even though he hadnt for the 15 years he had id'd as trans and all of us who supported him anyway.

To Aether, who when asked could only say "hm. Queer. Yeah. Queer." and Paimon who had no idea what that ment and he responded "yeah thats the point." with a goofy grin.

And finally. To my bio parents. Who after years of hounding Varka for information about you both, was able to tell me you were both queer. He didnt remember specific ID's, Said he never asked for specifics at all really. But he said he remembered you both had been in same sex relationships before getting married. And that you both shared clothes indescriminently between eachother and that dad loved to wear skirts when he could find a good excuse to do so..

I hope you're all out there. Safe and having a lovely pride this year. And every year to come after. I miss you all, more than you could ever know.

[tinananau]

Hc that Lisa takes care of every kid in Mondstadt and they see her as a parental figure (either as a mother or that one cool aunt)

She’s a total sweetheart and will treat everyone with utmost affection ♡

Whenever Fischl comes to the library, Lisa talks with her about the plot of the book she read, her impressions, her favorite characters, whether she liked it or not. She also recommends books that might be to her liking! Fischl is very grateful for this : she finds more comfort in going to the library and talking to Lisa more than staying in her own house.

We’re aware of the difficult relationship between Jean and Barbara; the youngest, to try and rekindle everything, will ask Lisa for suggestions on how to get closer to her, and the woman will merrily help her, disclosing tips and approaches. Lisa wants everyone to be happy, and she knows that helping Barbara will also help Jean; she hopes for the sisters’ reconciliation.

Razor is basically her son : not also does Lisa teach him how to use his vision, how to read and write, she also helps him understand how he feels and the world that surrounds him. She’s aware of how difficult it is for the boy, so she patiently takes things one step at a time.

Klee is the child everybody adores, the same way she adores everybody : Lisa can’t help but have a soft spot for her. This is actually canon : whenever Klee passes by her workshop, the woman always gives her some treats! Candies, I guess.

Collei, even though she now lives in Sumeru, has lived for a while in Mondstadt, long enough for the Knights to get attached to her. Lisa helped her with the basis of writing and reading; when Collei left, she kept practicing based on what she learned from Lisa (and of course help from Tighnari), and still writes her letters (canon!) ; Lisa grew very proud of Collei and her improvements, and always praises her for how far she has come.

When it comes to Noelle, Lisa can’t help but feel worried : with the way she overworks herself, she might end up hurting herself. Whenever the young girl passes by the library, Lisa always invites her to drink a cup of tea with her and have a break, saying that a true knight also knows when to pause working. (she’s also tried to use this sentence to persuade Jean, but she’s almost unwavering : Lisa admires the blonde haired woman’s diligence, but she really can’t bring herself to leave her closed up in her office all the time).

Amber is not a child anymore, but Lisa still sees her as one : she basically saw the girl grow up, until she joined the knights, still at a young age, and treated her as her little sister. Sometimes, from the windows of the library, Lisa notices Amber running around and taking care of her tasks as outrider and starts pondering about the old times, back when her junior had just joined and declared she was going to become the best outrider ever. « good job, little one».

She sees Sucrose in a similar way : not a child anymore, but not fully “adult” (?) either. Lisa is aware of her talent for alchemy and whenever she can, she will encourage the girl to keep pursuing this journey. Sucrose is very grateful for these compliments, but seen her social awkwardness, she never really knows how to respond to them if not by smiling and blushing. The woman still appreciates this reaction, and sometimes might just have some ingredients useful for alchemy delivered to Sucrose.

Everyone in Mondstadt knows of Bennett’s unfortunate curse, and most people try to stay away from him and his bad luck; luckily, he still has some people who stick around him, Lisa *of course* included : sometimes, she sees him all wounded up and can’t help but give him some sort of potion to alleviate the pain and help him recover faster; she also might try to research some sort of way to get rid of this curse, or at least understand the reason why it hit the poor boy.

[ninas-gf]

final thoughts on the “of ballads and brews” mondstadt event (3.1 spoilers below)

- first of all, just let me say that i LOVE how every mondstadt character was involved !! it really made them feel like one big family, since they all had a place in the festival :]

- being able to see lisa’s motherly side was so nice… i’m so glad that her bond with razor got more attention

- i do think venti singing was kind of awkward and would have been much more impactful if it got its own cutscene, instead of being forced into those bland, repetitive animations (the voice actor sounded great though)

- mona and fischl seemed to be bickering less than usual, it’s probably due to the spirit of the festival lifting everyone’s moods, and i really thought that was a nice touch

- razor and rosaria being siblings wasn’t something i expected, but i loved it

- if you really think about it, eula taking up guard shifts during the festival makes a lot of sense, i think it’s her way of being able to contribute to the city while also having the opportunity to enjoy the festival with amber and the recon company, even if her presence wasn’t welcomed by the public. i just like how they didn’t make it a sad thing, you know?

- sucrose and mika both being socially anxious… they’re just like me

- hearing the voices of kaeya’s, diluc’s, and rosaria’s parental figures was super nice… BUT i don’t think it would be as impactful to people who casually play the game. bc unless you’ve read rosaria’s backstory, you might not understand the emotional weight of those lines, and i do think it should have been something the event went into at least a little more. especially since unlike kaeya and diluc, rosaria doesn’t have a quest or anything

- razor’s parents being adventurers while bennett’s dads are all in the adventurer’s guild… I LOVE THAT PARALLEL bc like,,, although razor lost his family (possibly due to adventuring?) bennett was able to find his through the adventurer’s guild, and razor was also able to realize that all of his friends in mondstadt are part of his family too,,,

[kingerpiece]

start from the beginning, yeah?

Ya know that makes sense lmaoo

ok ok

"Razor never got lost in wolvendom" au basically.

After my parents passed while I was basically still a baby, they left me in Varkas care and he was uh.

Incompotent.

To say the least.

So basically Jean and Kaeya raised me for a few years.

Before Lisa came back from Sumeru anyway.

She came back when I was roughly 5, and basically adopted me immediately.

I was a HUGE mama's boy as a kid and she raised me to be a major bookworm too, very rarely was I not in the library studying whatever topic sounded fun that day.

I ended up befriending Fischl really early on, before she was even Fischl actually, because we both spent so much time in the library.

I still have no idea when I befriended Bennett but it was later down the line.

The closest to any "parenting" Varka ever did was teach me how to use a claymore, and even then he tried to fight tooth and nail to avoid doing it, AND I think Diluc had to refine my technique a bit later because. Again. Varka was incompotent. (Just because I didnt get lost in the woods for a decade doesnt mean I have to like him, ya get me?)

I still havent quite figured out how I got my vision, but I know my ambition was the same as canon (protecting those I cared about/needed protecting)

You'd think with that kinda ambition I wouldve become a knight but nah, I didnt like fighting all that much and much prefered staying the librarians assistant.

Like canon I didnt rly like to talk much, but it wasnt nearly as hard to do nor as draining as canon (I kin normal Razor too so I can def compare lmao). So I was capable of filling silence if need be.

Kaeya would always compare me to Diluc because of my demeanor. I had a habit of brooding, didnt show emotion all that much, and had a tendancy to wear darker clothes too- Uh. Well the comparisons werent unfounded but damn did they get annoying after hearing it my entire life hah.

Peers would be scared of me because of Lisa being my mom. She terrified alot of kids because of how she got over late books. So they tended to avoid me, and that got a bit worse when Fischl's bullying ramped up and I started to feed into the kid's fears to keep them away from Fischl. It was fun watching them be so scared Im ngl. They always thought I would pull my claymore out on them. I didnt deny the statement, but I wouldnt have. Not when fists would have been more effective should violence had been necessary (I dont think it ever was but.. I will not rule out the chance I had fought a few kids for Fischl's safety tbfh)

uhh

Hm I think thats enough w/o me repeating the Collei stuff from the earlier reblogged kinfession.

[hiraya-rawr]

I can see Ayato having at least two kids. He’d want his kids to have a sibling like had growing up. As for another big family, CHILDE OMG. Though, I imagine Childe would probably have less than Diluc because he’s a harbinger and had no time for constant baby making. So maybe like 5 kids? 🥰 Itto as someone who didn’t plan on having many kids, but then his wife gave birth to triplets for their first time being parents and he’s a wreck trying to figure it all out. AYAKA who’d have a daughter that’s just like her, and reminds her of her relationship with her own mother. BENNETT BEST UNCLE! He tells his adventures to Lucas who takes it all in with awe. Lisa who wouldn’t have kids of her own due to her shortened lifespan, but would spend her last years being the best auntie/godmother :(((

Ayato WOULD WANT HIS KID TO HAVE SIBLINGS. He just can't imagine what it would be like without Ayaka (or even Thoma) in his life.

Childe is the type to want a big family. Perhaps once everything with the Fatui and the Abyss settles down. I can actually visualize him as a very rural, countryside, little homey cottage with a handful of kids type of guy yknow? Goes fishing in the day, chops wood in the afternoon, pours hot soup for all the kids during every meal. Very wholesome content 🤍

And oh my, Itto does sound like someone who would spawn three of himself at once. Triplets suit him so much 😭 imagine one of them being a small cute daughter with tiny oni horns and she's just the complete opposite of Itto but she's daddy's girl and daddy's favorite, the whole gang does everything for her (like spending their savings to get her a toy she looked at–) one of the triplets should be a menace just like Itto too!!

I don't want to be cliché but I think Ayaka having a mother-daughter relationship that's just like what she had before is just hsjhcjehcgj a big dream for her 🥺 she'd adore it and she'll find herself teaching the same things her own mother taught her.

Lucas (Diluc's oldest) admiring Bennett 🥹✨💕 he admires his uncle Kaeya a lot but Bennett is a diff story and also because Lucas is def the type to want a pyro vision?? 😭

Lisa has Razor 💗 Razor is babi. but also Lisa doesn't plan on having kids because of her short lifespan, but you bet all of the new generation of kids would see her as a mother/auntie figure.

(Y/n) fell off the bed as she awoke with a start and landed on the wooden floor with a loud thud. She pressed the bottom of her palm against her forehead as tears brimmed her eyes.

She remembered.

What happened on the day Khaenri'ah fell. The young girl she saved, who later revealed to her that she's a member of the Alberich Clan, a branch of nobility in Khaenri'ah.

No wonder Kaeya seemed familiar to her; he must be that girl's descendant.

(Y/n) let a shaky sigh slip past her lips, and she slowly rose to her feet before sitting down on the edge of her bed.

She felt like a blank slate after Aether released her from her stone prison a few weeks ago. She had forced her brain to stay conscious for those 15,768,000,000 seconds, and because she was so focused on staying alive she ended up forgetting herself and certain details of her past. She had woken up confused, and in order to stay sane she suppressed her emotionally stressful memories. She basically reverted to what she was when she used to live in Khaenri'ah's research facility - an obedient doll that the alchemists could use to challenge Celestia's will.

(Y/n) couldn't believe that she had also forgotten about Kaedehara Kazuya, the young Inazuman boy who quickly became the light of her life. His smile saved her, and if it wasn't for him, she most likely would have walked down the destructive path of revenge. She suddenly felt angry when she remembered Venti's betrayal and Morax's decision to seal her with Osial, and she furiously threw the first object her hand came across on the floor, which was a white vase containing cecilias.

"I'm scared of you, neesan."

Her eyes widened when she saw Kazuya standing in front of her. Was she hallucinating?

"When you're angry, you become a different person. I've seen people change because they're angry and want revenge."

Kazuya wasn't smiling for some reason. Why did he look sad?

"I wanted revenge after my parents were killed by the pirates. But when you killed those pirates to save me, I felt empty. Whatever happens to you in the future, please don't live for revenge; for your own sake, don't become a prisoner of your rage."

She wasn't hallucinating. She was remembering what Kazuya once said to her after witnessing her slaughtering a group of nobushi. That time, she had left him alone on the beach so he could play while she went into Inazuma city to buy some food supplies. When she returned, she found him being surrounded by rintouban and allowed her spears to express the rage she felt upon seeing his wounds.

"Kazuya..." she whispered, raising her arms to hug him. But his figure quickly faded from her sight, causing her heart to sink as she was reminded that he's already dead. While time froze for her, time continued to flow for him. She could only hope that he was able to live a fulfilling life without any regrets. Lowering her gaze to the floor, she picked up a single cecilia from the broken mess. Even though he was born in Inazuma, Kazuya claimed that his favourite flower was Mondstadt's cecilia because it reminded him of (y/n).

The door suddenly slammed open, and she raised her head to see Aether entering the room wearing an expression of worry.

"Are you okay? I heard a weird sound coming from-" He paused abruptly, seeing the shattered vase on the floor. His eyes widened. "What happened?"

"I'm sorry. I accidentally knocked the vase over when I woke up," she lied, feeling guilty about breaking it to vent her anger. He probably picked the flowers himself and put them in the now broken vase to make her room look prettier. When she bent down to gather the pieces of ceramic, she felt an invisible wind barrier gently pushing her hand back as another flow of wind picked them up for her. Aether was using his anemo powers to prevent her from hurting herself, but she was suddenly reminded of Barbatos' cutting winds...

An image of her bloody hand flashed in and out of sight, frightening her. She reflexively shot a red thunderbolt towards Aether, who swiftly dodged the attack. When his attention returned to (y/n), he was surprised by her expression.

She looked terrified, like she was about to be killed by someone.

"(Y/n)?" he called, cautiously making his way towards her. The glow in her eyes faded, and she released a shaky breath when she realised what she had done.

"I'm sorry," she apologised again, "I was just reminded of something unpleasant."

"Do you want to talk about it over breakfast? It might help if you share your thoughts with me - but only if you want to," he said, gently rubbing her shoulder. (Y/n) lifted her gaze to meet his eyes.

"I suppose it's time I tell you about myself." She remembered Albedo's words about not being able to keep her true identity a secret from Aether forever, and she would rather tell him herself instead of having him find out the truth about her from Barbatos or Morax.

The blond led her to the dining room downstairs, where she could see a young girl with short lavender hair setting plates of food on the table. She turned around upon sensing their presences in the room, revealing her olive green eyes and maid-knight attire.

"Good morning, Honorary Knight, Miss (y/n)!" she cheerfully greeted before walking around the table to pull their chairs out, "Please sit down and enjoy your breakfast."

"Morning Noelle," Aether said, nodding at her in acknowledgement.

(Y/n) took her seat across the table right after he sat down, and stared at the Lighter-Than-Air Pancakes in front of her. It smelled deliciously sweet, and the rose decorations and the mini chocolate shield were aesthetically pleasing. As she picked up her fork and knife to dig in, Noelle appeared beside her with a teapot and a friendly smile.

"Would you like some tea?" Noelle asked her. When (y/n) nodded, she poured her a cup. "It's chamomile tea. I made it in hopes that it would help you relax. Oh, I'll also help you change your bandages after you finish your meal."

Noelle's last sentence made (y/n) pause and gaze at her with her eyebrows knitted together. "Bandages?"

"Noelle found you unconscious near the vineyard in Dawn Winery two days ago while she was patrolling Mondstadt. You were bleeding from the neck, and if she hadn't found you and brought you here with the copy of the Realm Dispatch I gave her, you probably would have died from blood loss," Aether told her with a slight frown, "The cut was too precise for it to be a hilichurl attack, so what happened that night?"

(Y/n) was silent as she tried to remember. Her head pounded painfully when she attempted to recall the events of that particular night, but she fought through the pain and dove deeper into her memories.

After burning the bodies of the Fatui members that tried to attack Dawn Winery, an ominous portal suddenly materialised in front of her before an Abyss Herald emerged from it. Having no time to react, its tidal blade slashed her neck, leaving a spray of blood in the air. The abrupt pain had shocked her body, and in addition to the amount of blood she was quickly losing, she felt herself going faint. As she fell backwards, an arm wrapping itself around her shoulders stopped her in mid-air and a hand gently held her jaw, forcing her to meet a pair of golden eyes. (Y/n) thought that it was Aether who came just in time to save her, but when her blurry vision focused for a brief moment, she saw a girl who looked identical to him but with shorter hair and two shoulder-length locks framing her impassive face.

Before (y/n) slipped out of consciousness completely, she heard her say, "You will respond to the Abyss when the air is full of grief and sorrow, Gungnir."

Her eyes widened when she remembered.

"(Y/n)? Is everything alright?" Aether asked, drawing her attention to him.

"I remembered stopping three members of the Fatui, and then I was suddenly attacked by an Abyss Herald after they were dealt with," she answered, "And..." She then trailed off, glancing at Noelle who looked pretty shocked after hearing her story. Aether understood her silent message immediately and wordlessly motioned for Noelle to leave the dining room. She got the hint and bowed politely before walking out into the hallway to give the pair some privacy. "I saw a blonde girl who could pass off as your sibling. Do you perhaps have a twin sister?"

He gasped. "Y-you met Lumine?!"

(Y/n) took his reaction as a 'yes' to her question. "If that is her name, then yes I did."

"What was she doing in Mondstadt? Did she say anything?"

She opened her mouth to repeat what Lumine had told her half-conscious self, but she suddenly couldn't remember what it was that she said; it was as if the memory was wiped clean from her brain. "That's strange... I clearly remember her telling me something but... I can't exactly recall her words."

The blond sighed in disappointment, his shoulders slumping forward. "That's fine. Anyway, we're here to talk about you, not me." His lips curved up into a smile. "I'm ready to listen."

(Y/n) closed her eyes briefly and nodded. She began with the history of Project: Gungnir, the cause of her birth.

Project: Gungnir started long ago in the early ages of Khaenri'ah by the Eclipse Dynasty, whose king feared the end of his kingdom in a prophecy he was told by a seeress. The first step of the project was to make a vessel that could contain the authority of god so that they could create 'an imitation god who would do the bidding of the humans.' Though they created various synthetic beasts, Field Tillers and even humans using the Art of Khemia, every one of their subjects failed to retain their form and ended up falling to pieces.

The scientists of the research facility, led by Gold's ancestor, turned their attention to the ancient powerful beings called Transcendants, who were wiped out and replaced with the Archons by Celestia following the Archon War, since they were deemed too powerful; the Transcendants were somehow able to fuse two elements together to create a new one. With the data of the Transcendants gathered by the kingdom, the scientists created (y/n), an artificial Transcendant who cannot age.

(Y/n) was simply a tool to create a new world; her purpose was to preserve the future and glory of mankind. She existed only as a 'weapon' to oppose the order of Celestia and therefore was not granted a personality or a will of her own. She spent her entire life in a deep slumber, except when she was undergoing adjustment to prepare her for the title of god or when she was being brainwashed to think a certain way, starting from a cold test tube and later locked up in the research facility in Khaenri'ah. Trapped in an endless cycle of sleeping and waking up, (y/n) chose to accept her identity as a weapon to protect her sanity instead of trying to learn the names of her emotions. Project: Gungnir was shut down right before the completion of the new god, and it was none other by the new command of the new ruler of the kingdom and his loyal guard, Dainsleif.

Aether was utterly shocked, and it took him a while to process the fact that she's originally from Khaenri'ah and that she shares a history with Dainsleif.

"So you're not human after all?" he asked, "You were artificially born to be used as a weapon against Celestia..." That definitely explained her compliance and lack of emotions when he first met her in the Spiral Abyss. Was that also the reason why Venti helped Zhongli seal her away? Because she was a threat to Celestia?

"Yes. I'm not human, I'm just a weapon meant to be used by the humans," she replied, "I've grown to dislike fighting, but don't hesitate to call my name if you need someone to stand on the frontlines for you. The least I can do is to lessen the sorrows of this world."

"(Y/n)..." he whispered. Don't say that, he wanted to tell her, you're not a weapon.

She gave him a small smile. "Please don't give me your pity. I'm not a helpless girl who can't think for herself anymore, so I can assure you that to become the spear of humanity is what I want." She proceeded to tell him everything that happened to her after her king and Dainsleif saved her from Khaenri'ah's research facility.

Aether felt like crying as he was listening to her story. A lot had happened in her timeless life, connecting her to many lives and causing their fates to become intertwined.

"Venti sounded sad when he spoke about you. Whatever he did to you, I'm sure he never meant to hurt you," he said, "The contract he made with Morax... I'm sure it was to preserve your life." It made sense in his head. Zhongli could have killed her with his stone spears, but instead he petrified her and sealed her stone statue underground, where she would be hidden from the eyes of Celestia.

It was almost as if Venti had found a way to obey Celestia's order without having to take her life.

"I don't know about that," she muttered, her resentment towards the Archons making it hard for her to accept Aether's theory. They were obviously trying to harm her on that day, and she'll never forget it. "They could have allowed me to live peacefully with the Inazuman boy I raised, Kaedehara Kazuya. I wouldn't have done anything to them as long as they left me alone."

"Kaedehara..." he repeated in a pensive tone, "I met one of Kazuya's descendants on my way to Inazuma - his name is Kaedehara Kazuha. If you want, I can take you to meet him." He recalled Kazuha telling him about a Mikazuki Himegimi who saved the ancestor of his clan hundreds of years ago; (y/n) must be the Mikazuki Himegimi Kazuha was referring to.

"No, it's alright. Just knowing that his bloodline survived is enough for me," she said, sipping her tea.

"I see... What about Dainsleif? How do you feel towards him now?"

"I don't know. I saw him heading towards Wolvendom a few days ago, but he didn't spare me a glance when I called his name. I think... I've been cast aside."

"I don't think Dainsleif abandoned you. He said that he wanted you to live on as a human, right?" Aether asked, and she nodded, "I believe that he wanted you to lead a normal life without him since you never got a chance to in Khaenri'ah."

"But I don't understand why he wanted me to continue living without him. I was happy with him," (y/n) murmured, sighing softly.

He scratched the lower part of his cheek. "People are confusing sometimes. This is just my guess, but he probably felt as if you wouldn't be able to live normally with him. He was cursed with immortality after failing to protect his people, so maybe he thought that you wouldn't be able to understand the concept of being human if you traveled with him?" He then offered her a reassuring smile. "I'm sure Dainsleif still cares about you. If he didn't, why would he try so hard to convince you to leave Khaenri'ah?"

She stared at her cup of tea. He's got a point; Dainsleif somehow predicted that the Archons would descend to destroy Khaenri'ah and even asked her to leave, most likely because he didn't want her safety to be compromised. She suddenly felt guilty for misunderstanding him.

"Then why didn't he come looking for me afterwards?" she asked quietly.

"He has his own agenda, that's why," Aether answered, reaching out to give her hand a comforting squeeze, "He's seeking to stop the Abyss Order because they want to harm the humans. In a way, he's protecting the humans that you protected over your own feelings."

Now that Aether mentioned it, she did sometimes feel as if she was being watched over by someone whenever she killed a creature of the Abyss after the Cataclysm. It's only wishful thinking, but she really hoped that it was Dainsleif.

"What do you plan on doing now?" Aether inquired, curiosity lacing his voice.

She was silent as she thought about her answer carefully. Khaenri'ah created her as their weapon against Celestia, but Dainsleif taught her that she's free to live her life however she wants. When Venti betrayed her, she met Aether who gave her the freedom that she had lost to Morax. As she was about to resign herself to the life of a puppet once again, Diluc helped her realise that there is something else she wanted to live for.

(Y/n) wanted to live protecting the people dear to her.

She closed her eyes as the memories of Khaenri'ah's destruction played through her head. Her kingdom no longer exists, but that didn't mean she doesn't have people she wants to protect. There's Aether, Diluc and Kazuya's descendants...

"Humans are so unpleasant," she began, causing Aether to blink at her in surprise, "They always die so easily because of their fragile bodies. That is why, I thought... I will be the one to protect them. Aether, I want to protect humans." She put a hand on her chest, and her next words made his eyes widen. "Please use me until I break."

"No! I won't let you get yourself killed!" he exclaimed, suddenly rising from his seat and startling her. Teppei's face materialised in his mind, and the blond plopped down on his chair, deflated. "I... I don't want to see another person go."

14 + kaeya (the child could be bennett cause i hc that he looks up to kaeya a little bit)

masterlist | 1k prompt masterlist | discord server

★ i like that hc

prompt 14: “I may have accidentally adopted this child.”

The ground is uncomfortable where Bennett sits. It's completely dirt and hidden behind a thick brush of trees. He shivers once, then twice, and regrets not wearing a jacket despite it being October already.

Right now, Bennett was lost.

He had gone into a nearby forest to find Small Lamp Grass for Fischl and underestimated how vast the forest was. Then he ran into a tribe of Hilichurls and being completely unprepared, ran for the hills. Luckily, he found a hiding spot but as soon as he sat down, he knew he had no idea how to get out there.

After a while, Bennett hears footsteps approaching. The teenager visibly tenses, immediately thinking it was a Hilichurl coming to finish him off. Bennett's hand wrapped around his sword, which was tucked away in its sheath, and crawled forwards. He poked his head out of the shrubbery and saw a pair of human-looking boots. Did Hilichurls wear boots?

His gaze travels upwards and he recognizes human legs, meaning this figure was definitely a human. Treasure Hoarders were human, though.

A flash of white catches Bennett's attention and he looks up fully to see the Calvary Captain standing with his hand on his hip. His other hand was in the air, a spark of ice illuminating off his fingertip.

"Kaeya!"

The man is visibly startled by Bennett's outburst before letting out a sigh of relief. He only spent an hour searching for him. Bennett rolls out from behind the trees and jumps onto his feet, bounding towards Kaeya and nearly knowing him down.

"Whoa, whoa, steady now," Kaeya says as he catches Bennett's arm before the boy falls forward. "Ready to head home?" Bennett nods excitedly and confidently starts down a path. He only takes a few steps before realizing Kaeya wasn't behind him. Bennett turns around and sees Kaeya laughing at him. "It's this way."

Bennett's cheeks heat up but he doesn't let it bother him. He files behind Kaeya, matching his footsteps and even stepping into Kaeya's footprints. Bennett talks a mile a minute about nothing in particular and Kaeya makes sounds of acknowledgment.

"Oh!" Bennett blurts out suddenly. He darts off the path and Kaeya whips around, "The flowers!"

Kaeya cocks his head, raising an eyebrow. "Flowers?"

"For Fischl."

The man hides his genuine smile as Bennett quickly picks some of the flowers out of the ground. He clasps the stems tightly in his hand, shaking off excess dirt and grinning. He runs back over to Kaeya and is practically radiating sunshine.

"She loves these flowers," He tells Kaeya.

"Really, now?"

Bennett nods, "Yup. So whenever she's sad I buy them for her. Except Flora was out of them so I decided to pick her some fresh ones. That's how I ended up in this situation."

Kaeya chuckles, "I see."

They continue towards Mondstadt and make it back by dawn. Kaeya turns to Bennett and ruffles his hair, wishing him luck with Fischl and starting off on his own. He casually whistles before he hears another set of footsteps along with his own.

"Bennett?"

The teenager grins at Kaeya, still gripping the flowers. "Fischl's probably in her house already and her parents don't like me coming around at night," He says quickly.

"Why don't you head home and tomorrow you can give her the flowers?" Kaeya suggests.

Bennett doesn't say anything right away. His demeanor dips significantly and Kaeya notices. It wasn't that he didn't have a house to go to - he did - he just didn't know which one. Being an orphan taken in by the Adventurer's Guild had its pros and cons and one of the biggest cons was a lack of home. More often that not, Bennett jumped around from different couches of the men in the guild or stayed with Razor out in Wolvendome. Tonight, Bennett didn't know where to go.

"Yeah," Bennett said slowly, "Goodnight Captain Kaeya."

Kaeya watched Bennett turn and awkwardly look around before starting towards the gates of Mondstadt. His chest tightened and he felt guilt run through his veins.

"Bennett!" He called suddenly, "Why don't you stay with me tonight? Y/N is making dinner."

You greet the pair at the front door with a warm smile. If you're surprised Bennett is with your husband, you don't show it.

"I may have accidentally adopted this child," Kaeya grins sheepishly. He hands you the flowers Bennett was holding and asks you to put them in water for him. He winks at you, "Young love."

Moving into an apartment with two bedrooms was the best idea Kaeya ever came up with. He moves some clutter around before exposing a barely slept in bed to the teenager. He even lends Bennett some of his old clothes for him to sleep in.

Seeing Bennett wearing Kaeya's too-big shirt, eating and laughing loudly with your husband makes you want to cry. The thought of having children of your own was a rare conversation between you and Kaeya but when the time came, you knew Kaeya would make a great father.

You joined the pair at the table finally. "Are you comfortable, Bennett?" You asked kindly.

He smiled and nodded at you, "Super! Thanks (mr/mrs) Alberich. You're a really good cook!"

Safe to say, Bennett stays with you longer than one night.

#4D3035 | BENNETT.

genre | angst

word count | 1227

warning | mention of death, badly written (?) grieve 

note | i tried taking a little turn with this one. i thought diluc could resonate with a scenario like this so i added him in. anyway, i hope you like this anon, thank you for requesting!

request | from anon

"if you see him at the graveyard behind the cathedral, please take him home."

jean's request echoed in diluc's mind as he cautiously hid behind the column of the grand cathedral.

his soulless red eyes focused on the unfamiliar boy sitting on the grass by a tombstone. that must be bennett. what kind of teenager would willingly hang around such an eerie location at the dead of night if it wasn't for a desperate cause? it could only be the orphan whose best friend just passed because of incurable health problems.

bennett sat close to the tombstone but he was still careful with the spaces he occupied. it wasn't entirely visible, but it seemed that he brought a bag and nothing else to this moonlit solo picnic of his. he was munching on a small sandwich sara whipped up for him out of sympathy and talking to himself.

it was almost sad to watch.

diluc knew very little about bennett. he wasn't particularly interested in the sun-kissed boy besides the fact that they're the same. on unspoken levels, he understood that they are the same.

it wouldn't have to take a genius to understand the situation at hand—bennett's friend died and now he heads over to their grave every night to spend time with their ghost, for closure purposes, maybe.

diluc knew, personally, that talking to a stone doesn't actually work, but at bennett's age, he didn't have many grieving options left to pick from.

"you know what i found behind a cave near starsnatch cliff today?" bennett said, his voice positively loud, and he fished out a dirty-looking headband from his bag. he looked at it, examined it carefully, then he hummed in dismay. "hmm, i actually don't know what this is... but i am going to ask my dads about it later and i'll come back to tell you!"

he dropped the headband on the ground before reaching into his bag again. his lips stayed permanently quirked up, his green eyes shining like the sun would in this dark, silent night. taking a quick bite of the sandwich, he huffed out an excited breath when his eyes caught sight of glowing everflame seed and immediately pulled it out of his bag.

"oh, and i fought the pyro regisvine today!" he exclaimed animatedly, looking down at the seed. "it wasn't as scary as i thought it would be, but you were right, i am a bad match for it. thank god razor came along, i would have gotten off worse."

mumbling something about planting the seed in his home's backyard, and then frowning about how it would probably be a bad idea to plant a pyro regisvine within the city walls, bennett took a big bite of the sandwich as he set down the seed before he realization suddenly hit him.

"oh!" crumbs of bread flew out of the corner of his mouth. "razor! i met a new friend recently in whispering woods! he is really cool, you would like him! he lives near wolvendom..."

he reached for the treasure map in his bag and hastily rolled it open. his finger wiggled in preparation to point out razor's whereabouts, but upon the sight of the beat-up treasure map—rusty, written over, and burnt around the edges—his movement stopped at the red cross marked obnoxiously atop of liyue harbor.

"i will take you there one day! i heard they have a super nice lantern festival! we can make lanterns and write wishes on them!"

he never managed to get you there. you had died before he even made it past dawn winery on his reckless attempt to carry you to liyue.

the decision to strap you to your bed until your last minute did not sit well with him; he had wanted you to see the outside world despite your terrible health, he had wanted you to meet the sun and moon personally, so he snuck you out of mondstadt and made a run for it. a terrible decision, truly, he was never going make it.

bennett could still remember the final knock of your weak hand against his back, urging him to give up. he remembers how he had to find a comfortable spot under a tree where you could see the moon clear as day. he especially remembered the moment he watched you take your last breath, and he worried how he was supposed to explain this to anybody.

your parents would have killed him if jean and the adventure's guild didn't stand by him, but still, that would never stop him from thinking that everything might have been his fault.

the red cross that once signified a final destination, a dream within reach, now served as a warning. the red marker was tainted with the blood of your death, as if screaming, "never go there! the last time you tried, your friend died!"

diluc raised his brow upon bennett sudden stop in movement. he pushed himself off the wall and stepped a little closer, watching the boy with knowing intensity. the moment was finally here after the train of denying cheerfulness. the sun, sitting alone by the dead moon, was finally falling apart.

tears fell seamlessly out of bennett's pretty eyes as cries huffed past his mouth. he looked around, noticing everything but not taking them into account, seeing everything but not understanding the purpose of them. what was the sandwich for? what was the map for? what was the everflame seed for? what was the tombstone for?

he was just crying. that was all he knew to do now.

little clouds of grieve and guilt allowing the switching off of his bright exterior and finally, reverting him to who he truly was: just a boy; a boy who lost his dear friend, a boy who could not have done better than he could before and now, a boy who had his love taken away and was left to deal with it with nothing but tears because that was all he should understand.

"i'm so sorry," he said. "i miss you so much, please come back."

there was a hint of softening in diluc's chest.

it was all bennett could do; these cries of bargain. please come back, so this time around i will figure it out, this time around i will protect you, this time around i will love you better than i did before.

diluc didn't know much about bennett, but he knew for sure that the boy loved you more than he had let on, more than the amount he regretted not showing. like the sun that hides itself so the moon can shine, its affection hidden beneath the mountain and the ocean in incalculable ways.

they are the same, on many unspoken levels they are the same.

diluc waited until the boy dropped asleep on the grass. he walked over, looked at him, couched down to gather his things, and he hoisted the boy on his back so he could bring him to jean and ask for the whereabouts of his home.

bennett stirred a little, but he didn't wake up. amid his slumber, he mumbled your name, and diluc wondered if things would turn out better for the boy.

he wondered if the sun will shine like it used to again, even though the moon has died.
