Genshin Men as Dads - Part 2

Genshin Impact x reader

Characters: Xiao

Type: headcanons

Genre: fluff

First part

At first you were too scared to share the news with him. Given his karmic debt and overall situation as the last yaksha, a child would probably be the last thing he'd want to care about

But you also knew that he wasn't heartless. He cared about you a lot, even if he didn't show it the way a human would. You wanted him to know and hoped with all your heart that he would be happy

You still prepared about every possible outcome carefully though, even considering the option that he would leave you

You were terribly nervous when you told him you were pregnant. And his reaction didn’t seem too great at first

He kind of just sat there, staring into his almond tofu you had previously ordered to get him in a good mood

‘A child? Do you not know that this kind of debt can be passed on to descendants? This human could already be in pain, I-’

You cut him off, telling him out of breath that you know and that you have taken care of him so far so you could probably manage another little Xiao as well. You understand of he leaves, you don’t except anything from him, you only ask for one little thing: to be there for them when they call out his name.

Needless to say you were incredibly relieved when he cut you off with these words:

‘Call out my name? Are you trying to ridicule the adepti? My child will never be in need to call his father for I am always going there with them. Hmpfh. Leaving... What foolish ideas you mortals have.’

Your hormones were so out of control at that point that you just threw your arms around his neck and broke out in tears. He hugged you back in the usual awkward but sweet way and you couldn’t have been happier

For long months, he took care of you in an unexpectedly but not uncharacteristically gentle way. You had been doing comissions up to that point but he didn’t let you any more. You couldn’t put yourself in any danger or risk and he only left you alone when it was a matter of life and death

Xiao had never thought about having a child. But when you told him the news he didn’t even think of any other option than to raise it properly like his father even though he had no idea how to treat children or just humans in general. He wanted to take advice from Morax who was immensely touched and happy for you. But there was one little problem: he didn’t know how to raise a family either

And then the baby was born.

You found yourself in a way tougher situation than you thought you would be in. Who knew having a child would be so hard?! It was sometimes even harder than maintaining Xiao’s worst waves of karmic pain

At least the baby didn’t suffer from that. Much to your relief, she was indeed very healthy and also very... lively

In the first weeks you could barely rest for a few hours every day. Xiao didn’t need sleep but the great Vigilant Yaksha panicked the moment you left him alone with the baby so you soon seeked help

The little girl was a half-adeptus anyway so it was only natural that the adepti took care of her sometimes. Ganyu and Madame Ping were all over her and even the always formal and distant Cloud Retainer couldn’t resist her cuteness

She really was like a mini Xiao. She had his soft, dark hair and undeniably pretty face. And to keep things in balance, she had your eyes that always shone with joy and curiosity

You were pretty jealous when her first word turned out to be "Papa" but when you realised how delighted that made Xiao, your bad feelings instantly disappeared. You teased him a lot about tho

'You know, if our little girl thinks you're the more important one, why don't you clean the house for us?'

'Tch. Show some respect for the father of your child.'

But he did clean the house that day

You both had learnt a lot already and continued to learn as the child grew. You now knew how to change diapers, how to convince Xiao that the baby should eat other dishes besides almond tofu and finally, you also mastered the skill of cooking almond tofu and baby food at the same time

Xiao hid them well, but he had a lot of mixed feelings before the baby came. He was uneasy and concerned and although he would have never admitted that one, a little afraid as well

But his worries soon started to fade away as he realised his daughter only made his life better

There was a time when he thought he had no place for love in his heart. Then you came and he decided to make an exception. Then the baby came and he realised he was way more capable of love than he had ever imagined.

He was happy; so happy in fact that he almost felt guilty for it

But that couldn't hold him back. Nothing could hold him back from letting a little smile form on his lips every time he saw you and his very own child.

He continued to protect Liyue and its people, but he had another priority now. You always came first, the little girl always came first. And he would've given away his own life just to keep you two safe.

I JUST read your headcanons about Scaramouche after learning more abt his backstory and all,I was wondering if u could write more but this time with the concept of 'what if he actually had someone he cherished,someone he loved? Maybe a crush?' I'll send more hc asks abt this if that's alright! I wanna read more abt him but most fanfics abt him are either yandere or very heavy angst,,,which there's nothing wrong with those,I jıst prefer fluff and comfort over those concepts 👉👈

Scaramouche x reader headcanons - After getting to know his past

A.n: This is what I wanted to write initially, it was later that I switched to general headcanons, but I'm glad you reminded me to go back to the original idea. Bold of you to assume I wouldn't go full angst with this one though... But don't worry, I added some fluffy parts just for you, anon:)

Genre: angst and fluff

Warnings: spoilers for the def artifact set

The Balladeer firmly believed that he was unloveable and not able to love either. His only goal in life was to get the gnosis and the power coming with it. He had kind of brainwashed himself into thinking that this is his only purpose

Therefore he denies all the feelings he actually occurs. Doesn’t matter where they’ve come from or what caused them, if they warm him, they must be false

At least that’s what he tells himself hundred times a day after he’s met someone who actually makes his heart beat faster.

When he first set his eyes on you, he thought he had some kind of disease and later visited Dottore to have himself checked. Much to his confusion and annoyance it turned out he was completely alright.

It takes a really long time until he can actually accept he has normal human-like feelings. The more patient you are about this, the sooner he’ll feel comfortable with them

He is a puppet who was thrown away even by its own creator. He is not a human, he just longs to be one even though he's also scared of the same thing

He’s only not capable of loving in his own head. The only thing that's true is that he genuinely doesn’t know how to treat someone he has feelings for

He’s seen couples together before but it’s all very surreal to him. He’s desperate to have a relationship like they do though

So he’ll try in the weirdest ways possible. Actually, he does normal couples things but the way he acts them out makes it incredibly obscure.

Bring you gifts but throws them at your face. Insists that you sit down but doesn’t sit next to you, just stands near you straight like a broomstick the whole time. Picks a flower but instead of giving it to you, he shoves it in your pocket.

Incredibly awkward with physical affection. Try to hold his hand and he’ll pull away his arm immediately. That is actually kind of hurtful, but little did you know he only does that because he’s afraid his skin is too cold for you to touch

He goes through different stages all the time. One day he wakes up carving love and affection, next day he’s numb and crude. It takes a long time until you finally realise it’s not because he wants to hurt you, it’s because he still couldn’t perceive the fact he could be loved

He needs someone who loves him fully but loves him slowly. Let it sink in, let him register and fully understand it

He tries his hardest to be tender with you but he still manages to hurt you sometimes. He usually doesn't even realise, he's just so used to hating everything, hating mortals that the words accidentally slip his mouth

The other Harbingers were really amused by your odd relationship at first. Well, not just at first, they continued to seek entertainment by it even after they've gotten used to seeing you around the Balladeer

Except Signora. She didn't care about anyone outside her status but when she realised what you actually meant to the Balladeer, she didn't laugh at you any more. Your love reminded her of the one she had lost. And even though she couldn't really stand Scaramouche, she made sure to drag you away and tell you everything she knew about him in a dark corner. Then left like nothing had happened and she didn't just help you understand him better.

Except Childe. Scaramouche despised him and the sheznayan fighter loved to annoy his short colleague back. But when he saw how desperately The Balladeer tried to change for the better, he never made fun of your relationship again. Family meant everything to that man. So he made sure to drag Scaramouche away and tell him all of the advices he could think of. Then left like nothing had happened and like he didn't just help him understand humanity better.

A year or two has passed and he is now capable of holding his loved one's hand. He still worries about his cold skin but it's the hundredth time you tell him his cold touch only makes you want to warm him up and he slowly starts to believe it.

A year or two has passed and he doesn't call himself a puppet any more. But he doesn't call himself a human either. He has no idea who he is - the only thing he knows is that he is loved.

A year or two has passed and he still wakes up in cold sweat every night. The tears he used to shed no longer come but he doesn't feel the need to cry any more either. He has someone next to him and that's enough. She's enough.

...Or is she? He is incredibly attached now and has improved a lot. The flowers he picks, he puts in your hair. When he sits next to you, he rests his head on your shoulder. He doesn't accidentally hurt you with cruel words any more and doesn't get annoyed by your foolish mortal habits either. Instead, he lets you hug him, lets you play with his hair, lets you complain about pointless things, lets you sing stupid little songs to him.

But he still has his plans of getting the gnosis. You're the one that actually turned his life around and made him have a heart but he's still torn.

He knows he doesn't really need the gnosis any more but it's hard to let go of an aspiration, especially that it was the only thing that kept him alive for long years.

So he doesn't let go of it. But one thing is certain: if he does decide to betray the fatui and get the gnosis, he is going to do it while still keeping you as his number one priority. At this point he'd rather die than to let you get hurt. And if he does die, then so be it.

But, oh God, just don't let him lose you now that he actually has someone.

#i'm not really comfortable with writing these types of romantic headcanons but i'd be happy to receive ideas for general ones:)))#i just... don't like to go into details and I wont either so please dont except an actual description of a romantic relationship from me #i just wanted to get this off my chest #thank you #thanks for the idea as well and yes id love to have you keep giving me more!#cloudenthusiast #genshin impact #genshin #genshin x reader #genshin fluff #genshin impact x reader #genshin impact headcanons #genshin scaramouche #scaramouche angst #scaramouche x reader #scaramouche #Scaramouche fluff #kunikuzushi

A chatty s/o - Genshin men x reader

Type: headcanons

Genre: fluff ofc

Characters: Zhongli, Itto, Scaramouche

Can be read as platonic, I didn’t necessarily wrote this with a romantic relationship in mind. Under the cut!

Zhongli

The Lord of Geo was born to be a listener. He appreciates solitude at times so he can ruminate in silence but he loves being with good company even more.

He likes to sit down with you at Heyu Tea House after a long day, sip tea and just listen to your ramblings in peace

When you mention something that is in his interest, he immediately joins in and begins discussing the topic in a deeper way. So if you accidentally refer to a fisherman or some sort of, except him to start rambling as well

You talk a lot so obviously you happen to say some things you don’t actually mean but Zhongli always takes every one of your words seriously. You try not to complain because you don’t want him to worry about things that are actually not that important

You especially start doing that after he bought an entire set of new clothes from his savings just because you once said you grew a little bored of the outfit you had on.

He remembers everything you say and when he refers to them after long weeks or months, it always makes you feel delighted. And he knows that very well so he always makes sure to pay attention to the little details.

Itto

Itto loves to talk, that’s not even a question. He complains, enthuses, screams, sings loudly and sometimes even speaks just to hear his own voice.

So when he first met you, who - even if it’s hard to believe - was just as much chatty as him, he was deeply offended and took your whole existence as a competition

The people in his gang suffered from serious headaches every time you two got together. At first you were a little confused why he always tried to outtalk you and cut you off every time you began a new sentence. It took a little time for you to realise he was actually trying to dominate... in a conversation

This stupid situation made you laugh a lot but he didn’t get it why. He also continued rivaling but despite this chaotic situation, you still managed to soon grew closer

But even though you were now friends, he still didn’t let you speak that much. Needless to say, that started to really annoy you. But you knew telling him would be no use so you had to make a strategy to succeed

It was a simple plan: you just simply didn’t say a word for an entire day.

Itto felt great at the beginning. He could talk as much as he wanted to without a competitor. Then he slowly started feeling weird, like something was missing. By the end of the day he figured out what that thing was: your voice.

He learnt his lesson and never cut you off any more. Or not that often. You were now in perfect harmony with each other and talked with the other one listening. He made you laugh a lot and you were more comfortable in his presence now that he actually made sure to pay attention to your words.

Scaramouche

He hated, hated, hated social butterflies. Since he only used his cutesy, talkative side as a mask in front of strangers, he began to believe other people were like that too. Every time he saw someone acting happily or speaking loudly with joy, it annoyed and made him think they were just faking it

You were no exception. He despised you thinking you were only wearing a mask

He saw you every day. You had a vibrant smile on and laughed cheerfully at everything. He hated your voice and shook you off every time you tried starting a conversation with him

Weeks, months passed and he still saw you every day. You had the same smile on and still tried to talk to him. He slowly started becoming immune to the annoyance and sometimes even react to your words

One day, while you were babbling to him about some bugs you saw at the camp, he stared at your smile and suddenly realised he didn’t hate it that much any more. Perhaps he never hated it to begin with - he was just envious of happy people.

You continued to talk to him every day and he let you. You even managed to reach a certain point where he wouldn’t just stand and look at you in obvious boredom but rather sit down somewhere and wait until you’re finished

He mocks you for babbling a lot but secretly finds it a great discraction. He can just wander off in mind while not being alone for once

He doesn’t pay attention to your words all the time but when you’ve actually got something important to say, he’s all ears. If you complain, he does tell you to shut up but then actually give you some great advice

When he’s calm, he’s good company and though he’ll never admit it, he finds your lively presence quite healing as well.

Genshin Men as Dads

Genshin Impact x reader

Characters: Zhongli, Diluc, Childe

Type: headcanons

Genre: fluff, maybe a bit of angst in the end if you squint

Part 2

Zhongli

While you were pregnant, he was the sweetest spouse ever. He did the biggest part of the housework, only letting you do the easiest tasks like folding sheets

He somewhere read that the unborn babies can hear and react to their parents voice when they’re still in their mother’s wombs

So he made sure to talk to them every single day and sometimes he even sang a little

When the baby was born, tears poured down Zhongli’s face. Although he had his own pride, he didn’t try to hide them from you. You deserved to know how proud and thankful he was to you

When he first held the baby, he had a distant, strange feeling he didn’t understand at first. He later realised that was actually a turning point in his life

He no longer longed to relieve his past life. He now wanted to live the new, current one which he wanted to make as beautiful as possible

His happiness was unmesaureable for days, weeks and an even longer time

The only dark cloud appearing on the crystal-clear coast of his was your strict opinion on what books should be read to the baby

‘Honey, I still don’t understand why you didn’t approve of The Liyuen Fishermen’s Economic Progress In The Last Hundred Years. It’s a great book, don’t you trust me?’

Diluc

When his baby boy was born, he swore to protect him at all cost

He was unusually soft and gentle when the child was just a baby and Diluc unintentionally got used to acting like that in the end

So when the child grew, he only saw a kindhearted, righteous, sometimes a little sad but never a grumpy or a mean man

That’s why he never understood why everyone was intimidated by his father. Even if he heard gossips about him being irksome, he never even thought about the possibility of that being true and all he did was to passionately defend his father

Diluc knows about these gossips but never acknowledges them. As long as his child and you truly know him and feels close and secure with him, he doesn’t care about the others

He also tends to start neglecting his duties as the Darknight Hero. You knew about his role and didn’t mind it but when you both learned you were pregnant, you made him promise that he would be a hero in his home first, not out there

He likes to take long walks with his family on the nearby hills. He teaches his son how about plants and animals you see on the trip

Sometimes he sees young Kaeya in the boy. And then he proceeds to spoil him even more because of the guilt and regret hiding deep down his heart

He swore to never let his relationship be ruined with him as it was ruined with Kaeya

Childe

There wasn’t a happier man in all of Teyvat when he heard the news

You had been actually a bit afraid of his reaction since he was a Harbinger and they weren’t exactly allowed to have kids, but Childe cherished the concept of family even more than he cherished the Tsaritsa

He would’ve even left the Fatui for his child. But in the end, it wasn’t necessary - which he was also glad about

Still, he was very aware of the danger that will surround his child. Many humans and non-humans wanted to take him down and they would likely grab the opportunity and try to stab him where he was had a weak point

So he became very protective of you while you were pregnant. While your hormones were acting up, you felt incredibly restricted and poured all your anger on him for that but the honest words he said to you somehow always managed to calm you down

'The love of my life and my child will not be my weak point. I have to do everything I can to protect and strengthen that part of me, understand?’

He held onto that ideology even after his son was born. After the child has reached a certain age, he started training him

And your son also enjoyed every part of the training. It became more obvious with every passing day that he was born to fight

You couldn’t help but feel a little pained about that. You tried to hide it but your attempts were unsuccesful. You couldn’t hide anything from Childe, who was also very understanding but determined on this topic

'You shouldn’t worry about that, love. Unlike me, he doesn’t fight to kill or survive. He fights to protect himself. And when he learns how to do that, we can both protect you better as well.’

Winter moments - Genshin x reader

Characters: Scaramouche, Venti, Childe

Type: fluff... and angst. But it’s very peaceful, it felt like being healed when I wrote this

Hope you’ll feel the same way! (And if so, tell me. You can also request characters in the comments)

Scaramouche

Red nuckles and choppy lips. His skin is freezing but he insists he isn’t cold at all. You still try to make sure he stays warm, putting a scarf around his neck, sneaking gloves into his pocket. He says it’s pointless but you can’t help but worry for him in the sinking temperature at midnight.

You watch his breath, it’s being lightened by the city lights. It seems like white, sheer fog. There are cars and people rushing towards their destinations as you both stand facing red light at a zebra. You stand in a sloppy layer of snow.

Your heart beats slowly but you’re reminded that you’re alive. You’re both still breathing and both of your hearts are still beating. Life is hard on both of you but now you’ve found each other and won’t let go.

Your breathing adjusts to his and you open your mouth to see the little fog leave your body. You suddenly feel a hand that isn’t yours intrude into your pocket. So he’s cold after all.

The red light changes to green and you start walking at the same time. His hand stays in your pocket and as much as you want to hold and secure it, you’re afraid you’d scare him away. So you stay like this, a little bit close, a little bit apart.

At least he seeks warmth now.

Venti

Snowmen and snowball fights. Cafes with fairy lights and exposed brick. He takes pictures of the winter drinks you have and you’re not even surprised when you one day find out that he’s actually printed the photographs out and keeps them in his drawer.

You’re sitting in front of him at a cafe that looks like one straight out of Pinterest. But you don’t care about the light wood panels or the twinkling plastic stars on the wall. You want to see his face - but it’s covered by his phone right now.

You ask him to put it away for the hundreth time on that day. He finally lowers it, but so little that you can only see his shining turquoise eyes. You can tell he’s grinning by the way they’re crinkling. He takes another picture and you know it’s going to be printed because you look stupid enough on it. But you still can’t be mad at him.

There’s an unspoken truth you both know but never actually acknowledge. You understand why he’s so desperate to make memories.

You understand and want to make new ones too but enjoying the moment seems more important right now. So you fight the bittersweet feeling down your throat and begin drinking your delicious gingerbread latte.

When you hear another click, you smile.

Childe

Endless snowball fights. Frozen fingers you can’t bend until you put them in hot water. He wears thick boots, jacket and a scarf but never a hat. He enjoys the cold wind blowing through his hair and always closes his eyes so he can truly grasp the feeling. His sight is both ridiculous and breathtaking.

You’re walking down a hill alone, just the two of you. You’re moving slower than him because of the huge amount of snow. It causes you many problems but he doesn’t seem to be affected by it at all.

Childe seems to have finally found a snowy pine tree that he likes. He gets his axe out, ready to use while he explains what kind of pine is the best for a christmas tree. You’re nodding but not paying any actual attention. You only focus on his sheer power, his raw strength as he cuts the tree down.

You’re amazed and feel safe. Just this evidence only that he would be able to protect you from pretty much anything is enough to make you feel warm. And you’re simply... happy. You suddenly call him Ajax and he seems happy too, hearing his real name. That reminds him of something and he tells you he wants to visit his family on the day after christmas.

You both turn around and start walking back to your house. He’s fortunately slower now, that he has to carry a tree on his back. He bends down and listens to you with a quiet smile on his face as you tell him about your plans for the holiday.

You know he’d be ready to kill the moment there’s the least sign of danger but everything around you is safe and it looks like he’s finally let his guard down at least a little.

It’s one of those rare moments he seems actually peaceful.
