-genshin, Dragon!S/O (who is also an adeptus probably) after being told about rex lapis' (alleged) death. In which zhongli (aka rex lapis) also has an abode. And S/O decides that now his abode basically belongs to them, right?? So they break right in-

S/O, covered in jewelry: *up to their waist in a storage*

Zhongli: *clears throat*

S/O: *hits their head*

Zhongli: ...

S/O, turning around smiling, hands behind their back: ...Morax! Love of my life! I heard you were dead! I am. SO. GLAD. that you're not!

Zhongli: try again, with a bit more conviction this time.

S/O: I-

Zhongli: after all, you're playing the grieving widow(/-er), aren't you?

_____

I thought about this. Feel free to add to it.

Also: dragons being possessive - and greedy- over treasures and belongings.

[I was bored and wanted to take a break from writing....something 😳 👀💧]

The yandere sagau side: it's exactly the same but just a little too obsessed. They worship you, giving you sacrifices offerings. You couldn't exactly see since you have a limit to see what they offer you. You just maybe it's an item that has a shape of a human. Who knows... the experimenters like dottore and Albedo will work together to create a body for you that is made on the details of the ancient script. Ei/raiden would make the body eternity, Zhongli would put protection on it, Venti would give the blessing of the wind to alarm you of the danger and Nahida would give you knowledge since you only just protect and make people safe and ofc make them feel warm. So you don't know what's happening 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷 and they made sure the body could at least withstand most of your power.

● Morax first felt a little alert. 'Who are you?' 'What do you want?' He was confused. He never felt a presence that felt more godly than the celestials themselves. He felt stiff. He asked the others if they felt this...presence. They say yes but it seems to have no harm. He couldn't risk it, he was still on high alert. But when the moment he was fighting, he felt protected, stronger too. Are you perhaps helping him..? Why? He did not worship you if you were a God of some kind. After the war, he cried, cried loudly as the people of liyue can hear his pain and the cries of his roaring. Suddenly he felt your presence once again but stronger. Were you here to attack him? "SHOW YOURSELF!" He yelled. Still no answer. Weird....he laid down then continued softly sobbing, mourning of his friend's death. He felt comforted though, he tried keeping it away from him, this 'comfort' feeling. But slowly he melted into it. Sleeping soundly. He felt safe. When he woke up he saw his friends, were they actually alive? Is this perhaps an illusion you made to taunt him? His knees went weak. 'No matter, even if this is fake, please...just let him hold them one more time..even if it's not real.' He actually woke up. He looked sad, as he was about to accept the death of his friends, he sees all of them. Even the yakshas came back alive. He saw Xiao on his knees sobbing in happiness. Is this your doing?...thank you..thank you so much. Truly. He accepted you. Your kindness. He made everyone know you, well the only people who didn't know you was the one who has no vision. The yaksha knows you, well only your doings and presence. They can also feel it. They worshiped you, and give you things. They weren't rich so they could only give you simple things like flowers but it didn't matter to you. They could feel the warmth grow bigger. They smiled. They wonder if you smiled back at them? Your truly a wonderful God. Slowly everyone in liyue finds out your the creator somehow and they worshiped you even more. Everyone who had one felt your presence even more. They felt very happy, truly they are blessed to have you as their creator. When Zhongli abandoned his duty as a archon, he still worshiped you. Although not fancy as it used to but he felt that you were still happy with these simple offerings. Everyone in liyue was so very happy. Azhada also felt it. He was set free and when Zhongli tried to make him go back, there was a note before he could attack. "He deserves a second chance. Let him experience the wonderful things in life. To: Rex Lapis" he was confused, was this the Morax he knew? His heart grew soft as he read the letter. Suddenly he felt his form start to change. He panicked and looked into the river. He looked like a mortal. Although he must give you credit for your taste. In the future, he brags on and on that you made a form for him. "Shall the Geo protect you with its heart."

● Heck, even the celestials were concerned and a little scared of you. 'What are you?' They thought. You felt familiar but yet not so familiar either. 'Are you an outlander?' Later they got used to it. They thought maybe you were a Supreme God that is watching over them, in the past, they were on guard. Waiting for you to strike. But....they felt a safe feeling, an addictive feeling. 'Who are you? Why are you so...nice?' Until it clicked. Are you...the creator? If you're not then why are you so nice to them?? But it does not matter no more. They will welcome and worship you even if you are a God who is an out-lander

I was too lazy. Oh well, thus is just for practice.

“We think of human life as like a lantern that’s lit one minute and extinguished the next, but are we adepti so different?”

[dxstopiaa]

Immortal Infatuation..

Summary: The God of Contracts was supposed to be reserved and stone-hearted, so why did you make him feel this way? Even after all these centuries? ❤︎︎

Characters: Fem!Goddess! Reader x Prime! Morax, Guizhong and the Adepti as side characters (≧◡≦) ♡

Warnings: Quite a long fic, also indulgent! Fluff and Romance, lots of angst at the end though, be wary! ❤︎︎

Notes: This totally isn’t fuelled by the new leaked cutscenes, haha.. i can’t help it, Morax just looks too good here! ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎

You were merely an acquaintance to the Geo Archon, nothing more, right? Those momentarily soft gazes and his polite mannerisms weren’t exclusive to you, right? Well, that’s what you thought.

As a more obscure goddess in the land of Liyue, you didn’t expect nor convince yourself that the most beloved God would take an interest in you, it was rather unrealistic, even for a divine being.

So why did your beloved friend Guizhong insist on you meeting him? Or for the Adepti to respect you so much? It all seemed perplexing to you, something the most eccentric of architecture you could create, or the theatrical arts with a twisted interpretation, wouldn’t compare to.

It resembled a moth around lanterns, a thought which wouldn’t leave your mind and almost felt essential that it should be enlightened to you. This feeling only returned stronger when you were conversing with Guizhong on Mt. Aocang, accompanied with teapots brewing with exquisite teas and offerings left on the stone table.

‘Please, Dear Friend! Just take up my request, he would be so delighted to meet you!’ She pleaded, propping her hands onto yours. ‘Morax is especially fond of the arts, which you specialise in.’ You only sighed anxiously, wiping off the non-existent dust on your lilac hanfu. Now she understood your hesitation.

She silently stood from her seat, making her way over to you as she began to comb through your hair therapeutically. Her dainty fingers arranged your hair into a neat plaited updo, securing an aurate, floral hairpiece within it. Guizhong smiled fondly, turning you around by your shoulders to face her.

‘Do not fret, i will take care of that, for now let me help you get ready.’ She comforted, producing a small pouch from her pocket, pulling various jewellery and make-up items from it. From your soft, painted lips to your violet, complimentary eyeshadow, she took care of it.

‘There we are…Perfect!’ With a final additive of fragrance, Guizhong admired her work. She thought you always looked gorgeous, especially when you were in regal attire. You greatly appreciated her compliments, reflecting them back at her.

‘Apologies, am i interrupting?’ A husky, deep voice remarked. Although you have only heard from your companions regarding him, the gentle undertone in his voice came as a surprise.

‘Ah, Morax! Look who i’ve brought with me!’ Guizhong introduced, turning to face you towards him by your shoulders. You wondered how obvious the flush across your face was. When he had came closer, you bowed slightly as a wordless acknowledgment.

At first glance, you couldn’t help but notice his golden, intricate eyes, or his arms which were decorated in the same manner. Maybe how defined his features were through that thin shirt of his…

‘It’s a pleasure to meet you, Morax, please accept this gift.’ You quietly offered, retrieving the decanter of osmanthus wine you had brought with you after learning how fond he was of the drink. His eyes seemed to flick from you to the bottle, repeatedly before graciously taking it from your hands.

‘Thank you dear, why don’t you come with us?’ Morax suggested, who would of known he was such a gentleman? All throughout the indulgent conversations you two had, partially fuelled by Guizhong’s futile attempts at matchmaking, it was as if you could trace the path the archon’s irises took upon you.

Despite the awkwardness you three displayed, you considered this meeting a success! Aside from the obvious chatting about duties as a diety, you found Morax had a more…refined personality. His love for nature and tradition held above all, you could only feel flattered as he expressed his admiration for your speciality.

Gatherings such as this occurred more frequently as eons flew past, from small talk to teases, this trio of yours grew inseparable. The aged stone table brought all sorts of memories back to you.

‘Checkmate, again!’ You giggled, watching Rex Lapis’ eyes widen for the sixth time that duel, he breathlessly chuckled back, resting his chin in his palm, defeated. Seems he left the King open to attack carelessly.

‘As expected, nobody could beat the goddess herself in her own game.’ He responded, watching you reposition the pieces upon the chess board once more, grinning at his statement.

‘Who knows? Perhaps in a few centuries you will surpass me in my skill, even if i might not be around to witness such.’ You casually mentioned, not noticing how Morax’s heart dropped in in his chest. A life without you? Never, even erosion couldn’t take you away from him, it wouldn’t dare.

He reached across the table to intertwine his fingers with yours, ‘Please darling, do not say such things, i’d break a contract if it meant keeping you here with me.’

So why, why did you leave him alone, again? Why did he have to witness your limp figure in a field of bloodshed and decaying flora? Why wasn’t he there to hear your last words? The burning question in the abyss of his heart, Why did he leave his feelings for you so late?

You could of roamed the bustling streets of Liyue Harbour, watch the lanterns illuminate the sky like constellations that could manipulate your destiny to be less tragic. Zhongli wouldn’t have to traverse alone, rather with you, once more.

He couldn’t help the blur of his vision as the checkerboard infront turned against him. Casting his gaze downwards, this was your last request and he couldn’t even fulfil it? The younger male duelling him panicked seeing how forlorn Zhongli appeared.

‘Wait, Xiangsheng! What happened? Did i do something wrong?’ Childe frantically insisted, attempting to sympathise with the retired archon. A simple dismissal from him, shaking his head.

‘Childe, Have you ever lost someone you’ve loved so dearly?’ Zhongli confessed with a shaky voice, shimmering tears freely flowing from his tired eyes for the first time in eons. He hoped that wherever your soul resides, you wouldn’t forget his affection for you, as Morax and Zhongli.

[moraxdreams]

if I see one more person say that zhongli didn't care about liuye nearly being destroyed during the liuye archon quest they're gonna feel my wrath.

"zhongli while liuyes in danger: *sips tea*" my ass

I'd like to remind you that zhongli was still in possession of his gnosis at the time. my man was literally ready to throw hands if anything went wrong.

I'll rephrase - even if he was tired and weighted down by being a god, by everything he went through, he was ready to throw his dream of being a normal human away for his people. for their sake.

he didn't act because he wanted to see if liuye could live without him, because he wanted the best for them.

you really think that rex lapis, someone who stood at the very first row of his army while going to any war, never left anyone behind, went undercover and talked to his people to get to know them better, cared about every single one of his devotees, has adepti who are ready to die for him, would just not care if his country was in any danger.

zhongli is such a good god, person, father, teacher and friend. I just don't understand how some people can mischaracterize him. go read his lore or something smh.

Tighnari

That night was a clear night. No clouds in sight, which made for an unusual cold night as well.

You huddled your jacket closer to yourself, inhaling the fresh air of the night while you strolled around Pardis Dhyai, waiting for Tighnari to arrive. You two had to conduct an experiment that could only be executed at night, hence why the late hour.

As you were deep in your thoughts, you heard the noise of hurried steps coming your way.

Tighnari stopped right in front of you, catching his breath.

«Sorry to keep you waiting, someone had eaten poisonous mushrooms again, so I had to treat them. Were you waiting long?»

You shook your head. «Only 10 minutes, really. It's okay, Nari.»

You smiled at him, and he did as well, making you warm up from the inside. Then he took the keys to the garden out, and opened the place up.

It was a sight for sure: the moonlight delicately seeped through the glass panels of the garden, rendering the place almost ethereal.

Along with the ethereal glow of the moon there was also the warm and cozy glow of fireflies, which made you gasp.

«This place sure is beautiful, for a research site.» you commented, making him chuckle. It was the first time you visited it.

«Not at all times, though. Well then, let's get started, shall we?» you nodded, hoping the experiment wouldn't take long, you weren't a fan of the cold.

«[y/n]?» Tighnari called for you attention. «Hm?»

«You seem..cold.» he stated, catching you in his arms and holding you close. You could feel his tail on your back, warming you up.

You blushed from head to toe. What was even happening??

«You know..There isn't someone I'd rather be doing this tedious task with.» he stated, and you looked at him: his ears were trembling, and his cheeks were red.

«I..thank you, Nari. Are you okay though?»

He nodded. «Just trying to gather some courage, is all.» «For what?»

«For telling you I like you. In more than a friend type of way.» he blurted out, while your eyes widened in shock.

«You what?» his eyes went downward, his ears following suit.

«I suppose you don't feel the same way though. It's okay.»

He was holding tears back, but in reality you were just too stunned from his revelation to mutter anything logical.

«No, that's not what I meant. I was just stunned by your words. I..I've actually liked you for a while, Nari.» his ears went straight up, his gaze instantly fixated on you, sparkles in his eyes.

«You..you have?» you nodded, and he grabbed you from the waist, spinning you in the air, before putting you back on your feet and hugging you close.

«Can I give you a kiss?» he asked, and you nodded.

He smiled big. «You really don't understand how happy I feel right now. I've been losing sleep just thinking about this moment..» you shut him up with a kiss, and soon enough, you weren't cold anymore.

Zhongli

The early hours of the day were starting to give light to the sunrise, as you rested your back against a rock, catching your breath.

Your bow rested near your feet, the quiver full of arrows still on your side. You slowly slid downwards, sitting on the ground.

Footsteps.

Your bow was already strung, the icy arrows ready to be fired at whoever dared to approach you, when..

«Zhongli?» you lowered your bow, smiling at the familiar face.

«What a magnificent display of skills. You were resting not even a second ago, yet the moment you heard the faint sound of my footsteps your bow was swiftly at the ready. Truly magnificent.»

You thanked him. «So, what are you doing over here? It's not every day that the esteemed Consultant comes around Bishui Plain, is it?»

He chuckled lowly.

«Correct. Alas, Director Hu sent me here on a commission, and that is my duty as a consultant, is it not?» «I guess so?»

«Moving onward, I am quite happy that the Director sent me this way. It's been a while since I've seen you around, [y/n].» he stated, while you adjusted your equipment back on your person.

Just then, something passed by you, and by the sound you reckoned it was an arrow.

Zhongli reacted immediately.

«I'll be right back.»

Upon returning, you noticed a spear in his left hand, the tip of it faintly smeared with blood.

He hugged you tight, squishing your face on his chest.

«Zhongli?» you called for his attention.

«Yes?» his tone was calm and reassuring, yet serious at the same time.

«Why did you do all of this? I can take care of myself.» you weren't functioning properly due to how close you two were.

«I know, it's just..my mind ceased to function when I saw that arrow, I acted on instinct, I'm sorry. - he continued - There's something I've been meaning to tell you, [y/n], yet I can't bring myself to.»

«Is it something bad? You're scaring me, Zhongli.» he shook his head, his gaze softening.

«Quite the opposite, I'd say.»

«You do understand you're making this even more complicated, yes?» he sighed, nodding.

«Oh, for the love of Archons, say it. I'm a grown adult, I can handle whatever it is.»

He sighed. «I..I've fallen in love with you, [y/n]. I've known for a while, but I've always tried to restrain myself due to..well. But just now, I got reminded of how feeble mortal life is, so I had to tell you. I will accept whatever answer you give me.»

Zhongli. Zhongli had fallen in love with you?!

The ever so distant consultant that made you feel butterflies in your stomach every time you two spent time together, whether it be sipping tea or strolling around Liyue Harbor? THAT Zhongli?

«Wow..I'm speechless. Truly.»

«You don't have to answer now if you don't want to.» he distanced himself from you, looking down.

«Zhongli.» «Yes?» you took his hand, pressing it on your chest, his eyes widening upon the contact with the area.

«What are you doing?» «Shh -you gently shushed him- concentrate and feel my heartbeat, please.» he did, and to his surprise he found your heart pounding on his hand.

«It's pounding.» «That's because I'm around you.» you stated, earning a gasp from him.

«That means..?» you nodded.

«For such a knowledgeable consultant, you sure are oblivious at times.» you chuckled, while his face returned serious.

«I'm glad you reciprocate my feelings, [y/n], but there's something else I need to tell you.» «Go ahead.»

He took his Vision off, handing it to you.

«It's fake.» you noticed. It was way too light to be a real Vision.

«What does this mean?» you inquired, setting the Vision aside.

He summoned a shield, displaying elemental powers without the Vision. Your mouth was agape. He could use elemental power without a Vision? But only the Traveler..

«I did it this way because otherwise you would have struggled to believe me. I..I am Rex Lapis, [y/n].»

«But Rex Lapis is dead!» he sighed, setting his Vision back in place.

«I'm not. I wanted to hide among mortals, that's why I faked my death.» you fell to your knees, crying.

«That means..That time..It was you?»

He nodded. You bursted crying, on his chest, his hand running up and down your back to soothe you.

Through the tears, you found his mouth, and you two shared a tender kiss, as the day finally started.

[wintertundra-art]

guess who finally finished this piece

[ikebo-simp]

He got grimaced

[shadowcatzone]

Imagine dragon!S/O waking up after ~500 years of sleep

Imagine dragon!S/O finding out that rex lapis has died and being devastated

Imagine dragon!S/O going to rex lapis' abode and crying themself to sleep among his many belongings, wrapped in his archon clothes.

Imagine dragon!S/O gently being woken up by Zhongli because he noticed someone in his abode, went to check on his things and found them sleeping on a pile of treasures.

Imagine dragon!S/O hugging zhongli and crying because they hope this isn't a dream. They hope they won't wake up alone because it would break them.

Imagine zhongli laying dragon!S/O into bed and lying next to them and not leaving until they wake up again, softly stroking the hair out of their face. Caressing their skin and occasionally kissing them once or twice.

Snuggle series - Rex Lapis edition

Now this. this is going to be the epitome of self indulgent. I love dragons, I've loved dragons my whole life, they're my scrunkly little guys. I spend more time than I'd like to admit to thinking about snuggling with the Geo Archon's Exuvia. He's so special to me.

Content: Gender neutral reader, platonic fluff, general snuggly stuff, Rex Lapis is bigger than pictured in canon. Set in a timeline where the events of the game haven't happened.

561 words (oops).

To everybody else, Rex Lapis is, well, Rex Lapis, an Archon, untouchable and distant, someone who drops by once a year for the Rite of Descension to hand out whatever complicated business stuff is his wont.

To you, however, he's your friend - albeit a little bigger, a little scalier and sharper than when you first met him as Zhongli, a little more abrupt, but still perfectly amicable.

You'll never fathom how he manages to fit himself into such small spaces - he's about the size of one of the boats that stops in at the harbor on a regular basis, and about three times as long, yet he somehow manages to fold and drape himself to fit perfectly into the living room of the small studio apartment he rents once the furniture has been moved.

He's perfectly content to sit there, curled in on himself as he dozes in the warm afternoon light that bounces off the ocean outside, right through the windows and onto his ambery brown scales. He may lazily open an eye as you walk in, flicker an ear as you say something to him, but otherwise he's more than happy to sleep the afternoon away like a lazy cat.

You have a huge variety of choices on what to do, you could sit and lean your back up against him, or clamber over his hindquarters to nestle amongst his mane, use his tail like a mattress, or clamber underneath one of his paws like it's a weighted blanket, or more - his sheer size and the thickness of his scales makes you wonder if he's even aware of these things.

He is, of course he is - it's not an unusual experience for him to have humans treat him in such a way - the unrestrained power of an Archon is something few humans can resist reveling in in some way or another.

Rex Lapis' company brings with it a sense of deep seated calm and stability, like there's a constant whisper in the back of your mind reminding you that everything will be okay - it's infinitely calming, especially after you've had a long day. He certainly doesn't mind having you nearby - after getting to know you as Zhongli, it only makes sense that he enjoys your presence in his other forms too.

Some afternoons you're quiet, more than content to curl up and read a book, nap alongside him (sometimes you may awake to find he's curled himself around you as he seeks your warmth), or do something else quiet that has caught your attention - though others, you can get somewhat restless, and it doesn't take Rex long to pick up on that. If you seem a little too jittery or anxious, he might assign you a task, something small and repetitive that you can do while still being physically close to him, like brushing his fur or reading some papers aloud to him (his claws can't quite manage delicate little books and scrolls when he's like this) and it can help ease some of the nervous energy that can build up during stressful days.

He's always a very pleasant temperature, radiating warmth on cold days and cool to the touch on warm days - his mane smells a little bit like a freshly tilled garden after rain. Overall, spending time with Rex Lapis is nothing short of lovely.

"As for the story between Guizhong and Streetward Rambler, that begins with a certain bell...”

[sane-genshin-fan]

My sister was very concerned when I told her that Genshin Characters have birthdays. Like, they have Gregorian calendar birthdays.

She brought up the fact that it insinuated that Julius and Augustus Caesar existed.

And so I made this

[why-am-i-here-someone-save-me]

thinking about pocket zhongli. like he would be so chill and helpful: trying to wake you up with his voice instead of the shrill alarm of your phone, gently reminding you when it's time to leave so you won't be late for an appointment, scolding you when you get distracted from work and chooses to scroll through tumblr instead.... oh to have a little zhongli in my phone ;;;;

but then again if he sees me reading all the questionable and not-so-safe-for-work things in tumblr i think he would be traumatized

One pocket Zhongli!

Spare Time (Pocket Zhongli)

The lord of Geo didn’t have much to do these days now that he’d retired, but once he managed to establish a link to your world, he found himself using much of that free time assisting you. He suspected that you knew there was something more to your interactions, but he certainly wasn’t going to mention it. You seemed to enjoy talking with him, always gushing about his voice. Zhongli would be lying if he said it didn’t fluster him, but he was able to hide it well. Don’t get him wrong, he longed to be able to properly touch you, to hug you just like you would always joke about hugging him if you could. It would likely be some time before he could do that, but well, he had no shortage of time. Zhongli was a patient man after all.
