✦ Moonlit Tides
Tw: slightly suggestive themes hinted at the end. Otherwise, SFW. Idk what this is, just an artistic literary piece of a fanfic w/ Neuvi
Tumblr media
“The Chief Justice of Fontaine must exercise impartiality, thus he cannot form intimate relationships with the people of Teyvat.”  
… Is what Neuvillette told you, as you sat ashore during a still night. Although his words were directed at your curiosity, it felt more like he was speaking to himself, recalling his duties as a judge. After all, remaining objective and unbiased is the single most crucial concept that sets the Chief Justice apart from the common folk. 
At least, for the 500 years that he’s been the Iudex of Fontaine.
Yet something about the tone of what he said pulled a melancholic string. His eyes remained on the still waters of Liffey Region, the peaceful silence between you and him sublime. Yet you stood there, beside him, and in a completely relaxed manner, you said: 
“...But I’m not from Teyvat.” 
A simple answer, really. However, the silence followed was not so subdued, as Neuvillette turned to stare at you with widened eyes. Of course, you’re not from this world, you hail from beyond the stars; a simple glance at your star-shaped pupils reflects the truth of this statement.
So why was Neuvillette pondering the possibility only now? He knew that about you, that’s why he recruited your aid in Fontaine, that’s why he let you close as a confidant, that’s why he often poured his troubles to you behind closed doors during late nights. You knew the taste of the Hydro Dragon’s tears. 
But the Chief Justice sought more. On paper, his impartiality means nothing when it comes to you - he cannot judge you, and you cannot be placed on the same scales as the people of Teyvat. Thus the Hydro Sovereign took it upon himself to place you on the scales of his heart. 
At first, It began discreetly. Neuvillette would often invite you for late-night walks by the beach. Away from the courthouse’s commotion, the two of you would stroll and chat away past Marcotte station, letting the salty breeze serenade your minds. Even more so often, The Iudex hand would clasp yours to keep you closer. 
“Take a step with me into the water.” - he would later ask one day.
He knew of your resonance with hydro, therefore diving into Fontaine’s sea must be harmless for you. He would extend his plam and wait for you to bask your feet into shore. Although you initially gave him a hesitant look, he beckoned you closer. “Only to relish the water’s coolness. We don’t have to dip any lower past our knees.” - he would reassure. And so you two would often dip your toes in water during the warm nights, letting his gentle grasp lead you further from shore. It became a routine, and surprisingly, not a single drop of rain would pour from Fontaine’s clouds. Instead, the two of you would be greeted with a clear, starry sky; and Neuvillette worshiped the way your gaze shone when you observed the stars above. The endless cosmos paralleled your star-shaped pupils.      
But days standing ashore wasn’t enough for his draconic instincts, which led Neuvillette to invite you underwater. To stand on the open surface didn’t satiate him, any human could eavesdrop on your tête-à-tête by night. Thus, you would often follow him to the depths of Fontaine's seas, surrounded by lush seaweed and blooming Romaritime flowers. He would hold you close in his protective embrace, leading you to the sandbed of the depth where many Lumitoile starfish are scattered. Like the stars in the sky, you would be in awe at them, too. 
Many nights, he would spend with you leisurely exploring the profundity of the seas, talking about the many curiosities one would find in the deep. He would gift you with small chunks of raw pearls, or compel you to enjoy finding seashells. Of course, that wasn’t the only reason he would swim with you here. The underwater provided ample privacy… and ample noise reduction. 
Words didn’t need to be spoken anymore. His lips would seek your own, knowing you’d provide relief to the turbulence in his heart. Only you knew the taste of the Hydro Dragon’s tears, after all. Neuvillette’s body and intuition screamed for him to keep courting you, albeit not in the same sense as mortals do. That’s why he invited you to many peaceful walks by the water, that’s why he valued your company when sea gazing or star gazing at night, and that’s why he slowly warmed you up to his numerous gifts and trinkets, consisting of luminescent pearls and ancient seashells. Because his leviathan side was unintentionally pursuing you. 
In the depth of the ocean, where minimal sea light pierced through and no human dared to venture, the hydro dragon sovereign would love you, relishing your muffled whimpers and shivers. His keen sense of smell picks up your scent and savors it until your pheromones and cries are mixed with his heat. Body and soul entangled on the soft seabed, and Neuvillette’s sharp teeth desiring your skin. At least, for these tender moments in the depth of the world, he could forget he was the impartial Chief Justice.
Ultimately, you’re not from Teyvat, and only you were a witness to his biased side - a passionate and delicate dragon, whose sharp eyes always lingered on yours and sought you. Like the ocean tides pulled by the moon's unreachable allure.       
Yes, the title is inspired by Fontaine's OST "Moonlit Tides". As always, any art in my writing is my own artwork. thank you for reading so far.

On the meanings of the titles of Neuvillette's soundtracks
because hoo boy. he can fit so much religious and mythological symbolism in him.
1. Teaser theme - Eleusis Dicis Gratia
youtube
With the help of Latin-speaking discord buddies who wished to remain anonymous, we established that the phrasing is clunky, but "dicis gratia" means "you thank" or "thank", that is, either just second person or an imperative.
Eleusis (or Elefsina) is a city in Greece which in ancient history and mythology is famous for two things equally relevant to us.
1. It was a coastal town, and one of the coastal caves was said to be the place where Persephone was abducted by Hades, as well as the entrance to Tartarus, the abyss under the realm of Hades.
(Parallelled by Meropide and the Primordial Sea under it? Also does this mean that those of you who say that Wriolette are Hades and Persephone-coded are even more right than you think you are?)
2. Shortly after the creation of Athens, there was a war between it and Elefsina, supposedly deity-backed: Athens belonging to, of course, Athena, and Elefsina to Poseidon. Athens won, but out of all the territories conquered by it, Elefsina remained the most independent one, even allowed to call itself a polis and coin its own money.
(Parallelled by the usurpation of Hydro authority and Neuvillette's second-highest position in Fontaine?)
Eleusis was also an eponymous mytholigical hero. They (gender is inconclusive, but more likely male) don't have any deeds of interest, but their parentage is somewhat relevant: Hermes and an Oceanid-nymph, Daeira. (This would fit Furina better than Neuvillette)
Conclusion: "Eleusis" can mean both a place (to be interpreted as Fontaine) and a person (to be interpreted as either Neuvillette or Furina). Either they are thanked by someone or someone implores another to thank them. Therefore a perfect conclusion is unachievable, but my personal favourite interpretation, based on the teaser's content, is "Neuvillette tells himself to thank Fontaine [for giving him perspective]".
Phew.
2. Demo theme - Parousia Diluvi
youtube
This one's actually much easier!
"Parousia" translates literally from Greek as "presence", but lithurgically it means "Second Coming". "Diluvi" is probably familiar from the Story Quest name, so the full name of the track is "Second Coming of the Flood".
Bonus: the lyrics in the beginning and from 0:59 to 1:10 are "Omne sublime despicit est heres superbiae", meaning "Every deity is looked down upon by the proud heir". Which is, well, canon. (credit to @vidyadharaonline and @hosbirb in the video's comments!)
TL;DR: A WHOLE LOT of Greek mythology and biblical references here.
P. S. All info from Wikipedia! Also feel free to correct me

7 for mouth of the rubicon
From the Fanfic Author Ask Game!
Where did I get the title for "Mouth of the Rubicon"?
I'm so glad you asked :' D
It comes from the idiom "crossing the Rubicon," which means "crossing the point of no return." Possibly "At the Banks of the Rubicon" would have been more accurate to fit the "crossing" the river part. But for a few reasons I settled on it being like Rain's standing at the mouth of a river rather than crossing the banks:
It sounded cooler
The mouth of the river is where it empties out into a larger body of water, thus implying Rain will have to swim upstream to reach his goal/that's how hard it will be
It also made me think of him being swallowed by the difficulty of his task
And since Rain is the water guy (RIP Hydro), I wanted to have his title relate to water somehow. In this case, a river. Still working on the title for his half of what happens during the end of Sublimation and during Deposition.

"(...) “When we work together it’s always an incredible creative dialogue–she is an amazing collaborator and a very special friend,” Anderson tells Vogue of his collaboration with Russell.(...)
Anderson looked to biomimicry for inspiration for the actor’s look. Russell wore a high-neck corset designed to resemble a wood marquetry pattern. She paired her trompe l’oeil top with a circle skirt made of a silk crêpe marocain, which featured a thigh-high slit and draped venetier waist.
Russell’s corset was 3D moulded to fit her body perfectly, and then printed with the wood pattern using a technique called hydro sublimation, which the brand previously employed in the spring 2023 collection. “Playing with the senses is central to the experience of the exhibition and we play similar tricks with trompe l’oeil in collections at LOEWE, blurring the line between what’s real or surreal, what’s natural or unnatural,” Anderson says. (...)"

If I was Sisyphus I'd be happy anyway. I get to hang with a cool rock all day. Rigid routine. No more worrying about academic obligations. No more worrying about paying the hydro bill. No more worrying about getting a job. No more worrying about paying the income tax. No more worrying about paying my credit card debt. No more worrying about paying the heating bill. No more worrying about paying for groceries and having to deal with the HST. No more worrying about paying car insurance. No more worrying about paying property taxes. No more worrying about paying the water bill. No more worrying about Youtube ads. No more worrying about shrinkflation. No more worrying about gas prices. No more worrying about food price instability. Just me and the rock. Fucking sublime.

So about this 'Original sin' of Fontaine, I've been delving into my thoughts and lore bits and I may have an idea.
Tumblr media
More deets below the cut!
I believe that the hints have been in front of since the start, with the prophecy and all. The primordial sea in itself being the key.
In short? Throughout Fontaine's history, not just humankind, but it's gods, everything that hailed from here found itself creating a bond with it. This could be the same issue that stirred the anger of the Whale that hailed from those seas as well. The fact that so many beings here are imbued with Pneuma and Ousia isn't a natural phenomenon.
Yet, through genetics did this power manage to be carried on, alongside of the curse of actually dissolving into water. I'd like to dip into a few things that would shed light on this, first being this excerpt from Rene's Investigation Journal.
Tumblr media
As we've come to learn, the Vourukasha Oasis happens to be the deathbed of the previous Hydro Archon Egeria. This would be details that these researchers would've of had any knowledge of, yet, the fact they can go by their genetic makeup to discern this should be lent a pivotal eye of attention. Divine or humanity, it still persists.
So that brings the question of where would this even originate? For that we'd have to actually look at the old experiments of Fontaine's old God-King Remus. In order to pursue the everlasting, he came up with some... ideas.
Tumblr media
+ From the 'Sublimation of Pure Sacred Dewdrop'
Tumblr media
+ From the 'Essence of Pure Sacred Dewdrop'
So with these two elements in mind, in order to connect part of what Remus's plan was to turn his subjects into an immortal race during his 'Golden Symphony' or conquest of 'Barbarians' aka subjugating all who didn't abide by his ways of establishing order.
In this excerpt we get better confirmation as at some part of these experiments yielding success, this is from Enigmatic page IV from the Book of Revelations.
Tumblr media
Then here's another excerpt of how humanity might've ended up with underneath Remus's reign, these are taken from the golden troupe set.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To me, this gives the impression of where Fontaine's robotics may have also originated too.
While the golems may inevitably be the new bodies they'd inhabit, before that, humankind itself beforehand was transformed in a way through these methods such as the golden song, thus leading to a lot of the current abilities and issues in the present day. Due to having this unique connection to the primordial sea.
This very clash of Hydro and the Sea being successfully fused in ways it never should be.
tl;dr: Fontainians being some hybrid existence to the primordial sea. (When humans in Teyvat are ALIENS to begin with) has led to a hell of a time. This in turn through their melting, has melded the primordial sea to the once pure waters of Fontaine.
And likely may be the reason for 'One Unhappy whale boi.'

A formal apology to 18+ Genshin Tumblr
regarding Sumeru and “mommy dommes” (October 2022)
In a previous post I joked that “Sumeru has a dire shortage of mommy dommes”.
At the time [1], this was a light-hearted reference to Alrani's Sumeru quest, where—spoilers for The Path of Papers—Alrani responded to academic stress+burnout by paying a Treasure Hoarder [2] to lock her in a cage as an escape from her immediate stresses.
In a reblog for the original post I suggested that many characters would happily provide this service for free [3].
Now, I stand by the plausibility of my assessment headcanon that Alrani is sublimating a captivity kink.
However, by saying that Sumeru didn't have any equivalent characters, and blaming it on the Akasha system, I committed the East-centric fallacy of discounting the western reaches of the Land of Wisdom.
This was Candace (Genshin Impact) erasure, and I deeply regret my words.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm sorry, Candace. And I'm sorry, Alrani thirst Tumblr. I hope you can one day forgive me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media

[1] 2022/09/19, nine days before v2.2 released
[2] Narzam deserves her own quest
[3] names redacted to protect the identities of two Electro catalyst users, one Geo catalyst user, and a Liyuean superspy with a Hydro Vision.

What Makes Kannauj Mitti Attar Irresistible?
Transporting you to an Indian summer, few natural perfumes rival the earthy yet heavenly fragrance of mitti attar. Distilled from baked clay or mitti soaked in floral waters, this attar by Kannauj artisans is redolent of pre-monsoon petrichor. Let’s uncover what bestows mitti attar’s warm, nostalgic aroma that makes it irresistible.
The Story Behind Mitti Attar
Mitti or clay forms the base note for this fascinating attar. But floral extracts of jasmine, kewra, and rose blended into the clay imbue it with rich perfume oils through hydro or solvent extraction.
The genesis of Mitti Attar lies in a beautiful accident. Once, when excess floral distillates were discarded into clay pots, they produced wonderfully scented clay after monsoons. Attar makers realized this clay-infused floral aroma for months. Experimenting with various flower essences led to the coveted mitti attar.
Tumblr media
Why is Kannauj Mitti Attar Special?
Kannauj in Uttar Pradesh has supplied attars since medieval India, earning it the tag “Grasse of the East.” The region's pure, unadulterated mitti attar is a cut above the rest for these reasons:
1. Centuries-old Technique
Local soil high in minerals absorbs and retains aroma beautifully. Kannauj inheritors use the same technique to prepare mitti attar over generations. Clay pots baked before monsoons are filled with rose and kewra waters for 2-3 months. Sandalwood oil paste lining the pots boosts fragrance absorption.
2. Pure Ingredients
Kannauj Mitti Attar makers are dedicated to sourcing all-natural, fresh floral extracts like rose, kewda, jasmine, and chameli. No synthetic additives adulterate the perfume’s authenticity. The purity enriches the scent.
3. Maturation in Mitti
As monsoon moisture seeps into clay pots, a sublime alchemy occurs. Floral essences fuse into moist, fragrant mitti. Frequent aroma infusions allow maturing over more monsoons to finish the attar. Buy natural attars for long rest strengthens the earthy petrichor notes.
What Makes Kannauj Mitti Attar Irresistible?
Now that you know its backstory, let’s see why mitti attar offers an irresistible fragrance.
1. Petrichor Paradise
Kannauj Attar's winning aroma mimics the first rains’ earthy petrichor that heralds nature’s rebirth. This reassuring terrene base note comforts like a nurturing womb. Infusing it with floral essences births a scent both primordial yet heavenly.
2. Quintessential Summer Scent
As temperatures climb, mitti attar’s refreshing clay notes provide a cooling sensory experience. Just a dab conjures up nostalgia — rain-drenched mud, wild blossoms, woody camphor. This attar crystallizes the Indian summer’s essence in a bottle.
3. Potent & Enduring
The elaborate technique concentrates diluted floral distillates into a potent perfume oil. This pure, undiluted extract provides an enduring aroma from a single drop. Buy natural perfume oils on pulse points or fabrics that retains their earthy edge for hours.
Tumblr media
4. Cultural Heritage
This attar fuses Indian culture’s reverence for nature and time-honored perfume traditions. Its growing popularity worldwide also promotes the GI-tag Kannauj’s fragrance heritage. Experiencing mitti attar lets you literally wear Indian culture steeped in spirituality and nostalgia.
Conclusion
Now is it any wonder why the irresistible scent profile makes Kannauj mitti attar an attar aficionado’s delight? Its novelty reflects India’s fragrant legacy passed down through generations.
To buy the original GI-tagged mitti attar from Kannauj perfume capital visitKannaujattar com. They offer artisanal India attar distilled by specialist perfume houses respecting centuries-old techniques. Let Kannauj Buy Mitti Attar transport you to an idyllic Indian summer redolent with rain-kissed blossoms and moist earth.

Cryo Archon!Childe fucking his wife on their wedding night and he gets her pregnant? and he's a little yandereish like the way you write him? your work is sublime
Thank you~! I had fun writing this since I never once entertained Childe being a cryo archon but the image of him having the signature tip dyed hair was simply o(*////▽////*)q
In Snezhnaya with Love
Summary: Cryo Archon's most treasured and beloved possession was not his gnosis, but the Tsaritsa that was protected in the depths of the Zapolyarny Palace.
--
Of the current Seven, the Cryo Archon, the Tsar of Snezhnaya was famed for his glorious victories in the battlefield, a once human who vanquished gods when meeting gods and slayed demons when meeting demons. All Snezhnayans held their Cryo Archon with high regards, loved him and respected him for all the battles he had won for himself and that of Snezhnaya. They tell the story of their Archon, the second to ascend among the Original Seven, whose battle prowess was second only to Morax of Liyue.
Though no one knew their Tsar’s once mortal name, their were many monikers he went by at the times he paraded himself as a mortal; Tartaglia of the Harbingers when in Snezhnaya, Childe when in Liyue, Herrscher in Mondstadt, Wakasama in Inazuma, Le Seigneur in Fontaine, Bhagavan in Sumeru, and Kasike in Natlan. Thus, the people of Snezhnaya found no need to discover their Archon’s once name.
And you were one of them, you had no need nor want to know the Cryo Archon, the Tsar, beyond what he wanted his people to know. All that mattered was that you loved him just as your fellow countrymen did. Though you were no devout follower of the Tsar, despite your status as the heiress of 10 Noble Houses of Snezhnaya’s high society, you still carried yourself like one.
You were after all graced with his element, and your Uncle Pulcinella’s position in the Harbingers ensured that you brought no shame to the prestige of your bloodline and your status as a Cryo Vision Holder. You were the embodiment of your Archon’s ideals, Strength not only to protect one’s self and family but also to challenge the Divine.
It was the price you willingly paid to enjoy the privileges your vision and status granted you. Perhaps in another world you would have gone on and married someone not out of love but out of duty, but such thoughts flew out of the window that one summer day in Morepesok.
It had been a vacation for you, a rare moment of freedom from the prying and judging eyes of the world. You had been allowed to roam free in your Uncle Pulcinella’s vacation villa in the rural seaside village. It was one of the top tourist destinations in Snezhnaya, a town seemingly stuck in time, where the rest of Snezhnaya was filled with towering buildings and skyscrapers of metal and light, Morepesok retained the traditional houses of Snezhnaya.
A rare glimpse of the past long gone. It was during this trip that you had your fateful encounter with the young man, his orange hair with sky blue tips that gently swayed in the cold wind, and his piercing blue eyes that had taken your breath away.
He smiled at you, curious and just a touch of arrogance that let you know he knew he was handsome. Your cheeks flushed not from the cold but from embarrassment.
“Hey there, girlie~!” He called out as he trotted towards you, his hunter attire letting you know he was one of the hunters of Morepesok.
“He-hello” You greeted him back, soft and shy. Stuttering as you felt your heartbeat quicken with each step that he took towards you.
“Don’t you know it’s dangerous in this area?” He asked you, eyes glinting with cold amusement and something in you wanted to rise to his unspoken challenge.
“Oh? Was there?” You replied, “With this being part of my uncle’s villa, I doubt that there is anything here that would be dangerous to me…”
His smile fades away and you continued, “Of course even if this part of the woods is no longer a part of his villa, other than our beloved Tsar’s ire, I would be the most dangerous creature out here.”
You punctuated your words with the masterful and powerful display of your control over Cryo. The frostarm lawachurl heading towards your location toppled over, the top of their head bleeding out from the spikes of cryo that burst out from their forehead. Their dying cry had the man before you looking back and his laughter echoed in the desolate winter forest of Morepesok.
“Hahahaha!” He laughed, hands on his stomach as he bent over “Amazing, comrade! This is the first time I’ve ever seen Cryo be used in such a way! Not even the Tsar was said to be that ruthless!”
You smiled at him, sweet and pleased at his praise, “Perhaps, our beloved Tsar has yet to meet an opponent that would make him use such cruelty.”
“Interesting, I’m Ajax of Morepesok. And you...must be Pulcinella’s treasured niece” His smile turned more genuine offering his hand to you he added, “Something tells me would get along most splendidly.”
And as you gave him your hand, he brought it close to his lips, kissing it gently and you knew, as the distant sound of the waves crashing into the shore sounded in the forest, that your first defeat was in the hands of this charming young man.
And it was your sweetest defeat, you spent most of your days in his cabin, an inheritance from his deceased family, your time split between sparring with him and going ice fishing. Each moment spent made you stronger, Ajax taught you in every weapon he knew. Each touch that corrected your stance sent shivers down your spine.
And neither of you shied away from the inevitable. His touches became less innocent, less sincere in teaching you. And you took every opportunity to have skinship with him, from taking advantage of the gentle cold air to asking for his help in reeling in the ridiculously large fishes in Morepesok.
Despite the never ending cold of Snezhnaya, the distance between you and Ajax slowly melted away with each shed of layer between the two of you. In his cabin, you were just a young maiden in love, and he was just your strong lover who sheltered you from the harshness of the world.
The domesticity of your everyday life with him lulled you into a false sense of comfort, the mornings and afternoons spent with him would come to an end. Maybe, it was the knowledge that you would never be able to return to this time, or perhaps it was your reluctance to be forgotten so easily that led to this point.
The moment Ajax had kissed you against his door, you had shed all pretense of propriety. You kissed him back, tongue entangling with his as his hands ventured down and began divesting you of your clothes. Neither of you stopped kissing as your hand went to his pants and unbuckled his belt, his hydro vision dropping to the ground in sync with him removing your top that held your cryo vision.
You broke off to breath and found your neck being kissed as Ajax lifted you up and you let out a surprised gasp. Your arms automatically embraced his neck as he brought you upstairs and into his bedroom. You had no chance to look around as he gently placed you atop his soft bed.
His lips trailed down from your neck to the center of your chest down to your groin, leaving a soft trail of kisses before he began to eat you out.
Outside the window of his room, snow fell harshly and the windows softly shook with each gust of wind. Idly you wondered what had made the Tsar rage about but this thought was lost to the lust and pleasure of your love making with Ajax.
You laid on his chest, utterly spent as he curled his arm around you and gave you soft kisses atop your head. Neither of you spoke, unwilling to face the reality of your departure. But you were never one to falter from the things that you didn’t like.
You were always moving forward. Bravely facing whatever comes your way, be it life or love. So you broke the silence, because it was what you believed you owed him.
“I’m enlisting in the Fatui” Your voice soft, “This would be most likely the last time we would meet.”
You felt his hand on your waist tighten before it relaxed. You looked at him and was greeted by his warm smile.
“But not definitely” He said and your heart ached because you knew that even if you met him next time there was no chance for anything more.
“Ajax, the next time we meet, I will no longer be as I am today.”
“...”
His eyes grew cold and you found yourself underneath him, he looked at you darkly and foolishly you still found yourself lost in his beautiful eyes.
“We will meet again,” he said, voice hard and steely “and no one would be able to take you away from me.”
His kiss was hard and biting, cold and passionate, and for a moment you believed him.
“Promise me then,” You begged him as tears gathered in the edges of your eyes as you surrendered to him once more “promise me that you’ll wait for me, that you’ll fight for me and I’ll return to you and fight for you.”
“I promise” Ajax smiled, his coldness and anger melting away as he showered you with all of his love. Leaving traces of himself on you, marking you to proclaim his rightful ownership of you.
Enlisting in the Fatui and joining their ranks hadn’t been easy with the additional expectation being brought by your familial connection with one of the current Harbingers, and with that the hatred and envy of others. You didn’t care for it though, thoughts of Ajax and the life you’d have with him making it easier for you. Then again, the Fatui was a place where strength was respected and it was something you had in spades, from fighting abilities to scheming. You didn’t have the best leadership skills but that was something that could be slowly learned.
All in all, you had gritted your teeth, bore the difficulties, and slowly but surely made your way up in the ranks and into being a Harbinger. Innamorati, they called you and you it was a name you proudly wore. A name bestowed upon you by your beloved Cryo Archon, the Tsar with his bright orange hair and deep blue eyes that reminded you of Ajax.
It was surprising to see such a familiar and beloved face in that of the beloved Archon but you had learned to hide your emotions. But even as you walked away from him and went home to celebrate, the unmistakable pull you felt didn’t allow you to delude yourself completely.
You needed to see Ajax.
The trip to Morepesok was faster with the portable waypoint Ajax had made you. An easy temptation to meet him in the middle of your enlistment but one you never took. You wanted to prove yourself, and at the same time show him that you’d never easily cave, be it for him or for something else, you would keep your word. And maybe that was why the waiting figure of your Tsar, in Ajax’ clothes, had shaken your heart.
The winds howled and snow fell harshly, each step he took towards made you tremble whether it was from trepidation or something else you didn’t know but as he took a strand of your hair and held close to his lips you couldn’t help but call for him,
“Ajax?”
You felt at loss, not knowing how much of the days you spent with him were true, not knowing if his words had been meant. You wouldn’t be able to take it if it wasn’t.
“Yes, my love?” He asked, gently and comforting as he took you into his arms and held you tight enough that it hurt.
You didn’t know what to say, unable to put your feelings into words so you buried your face into his chest, held him just as tight with your trembling hands and begged him to understand what your heart wanted.
You never noticed how you remained unaffected by the cold, despite the howling winds and harshly falling snow that surrounded you. All you could think of was the feeling you held tightly as Ajax carried you inside his home, up to his bedroom and slowly but gently began to undress you.
You made no protest beyond the need to have your hand held by his. He had laughed, soft and gentle, at your clinginess but no less than pleased at it.
“I’d need my hand to properly undress you” He said even if he had no problem tearing your clothes off.
You gave him an unimpressed glance but nonetheless leaned close when he moved to take your panties off, you snuggled closer to him, holding his hand tighter. You felt your panties drop to your feet and you moved to take it off them. Ajax pushed you to sit and the bed, finding it adorable and pleasing how you easily complied.
Trusted him so much that you made no protest beyond the soft pout when he untangled your hands. He gently rolled your black thigh highs off your legs, raising one leg high to slowly and teasingly slide it off your smooth legs.
He smirked at seeing your pussy twitch ever so often, knowing that you were surely having lewd thoughts. So he pulled you closer by your legs until your pussy was just a scant few centimeters away from his face. Your breath hitched and you unconsciously wanted to close your legs but his hands stopped it and began the process of taking off your remaining thigh highs. The process barely took a minute but it felt so long that you were ready to beg him.
When your thighs were freed from your thigh highs, you spread your legs, fingers going towards your labia and spreading it wide for him to see.
“Please?” You begged, voice soft and cute as you showed him your glistening wet pussy.
And Ajax, had never been one to deny you. Spoiling you with gifts and affection until you were drunk and dizzy from it. His mouth pressed close to your cunt, tongue licking the outside, circling your clit before it made its way in. He ate you like the sweet treat that you were, holding your thighs securely as you writhed on the bed with pleasure, moans growing louder and louder with each passing minute until you were crying for release.
He was relentless in teasing you, calloused hands teasing your clit before stopping when you were on the edge of your orgasm.
“Ajax~” You cried his name, moaning and panting as his fingers fucked you “please le—ahh!”
“Aren’t you my most devoted Harbinger?” He teased, “Surely you can hold on until I order you to come?”
You nod your head with slight hesitation but it was something Ajax could forgive seeing how you were feverish with want and your earlier words of begging for his cock.
His fingers went in and out of your pussy, each thrust accompanied by the squelch of your slick, his saliva and the hydro that coated his fingers. Your pussy loosened with each passing minute as he alternated his attention to your sweet cunt and your cute clit.
When he had deemed you loose enough, he stood up and freed his cock from the tight and uncomfortable confines of pants, he let his pants and briefs drop to the floor before he climbed the bed and in one smooth motion, plunged his cock into your waiting wet pussy.
“Cum” He ordered and you did, voice a sweet melody to his ears as he fucked you through your orgasm, the loud creaking of the bed and the sound of the head board as it repeatedly slammed on the wall made you aware of your situation, as the haze of lust slightly lifted.
It didn’t do much beyond making you want to hold his hand which Ajax did, held your hand as he repeatedly rammed his cock into your pussy, slowly reaching your depths with each thrust of his cock until he let out his cum inside you, spilling it deep inside your pussy that Ajax knew that there wasn’t any impossibility you wouldn’t end up pregnant.
He softly fell on top of you, caging you beneath him as you hugged his muscular back and simply existed in that moment. His cock remained inside of you and the feeling of being connected in such a way, on having all of him touching your skin, the soft sound of his ragged breaths and his scent mixing with the smell of sex that pervaded your nose anchored you in this precise moment.
Where the world felt like it had melted away leaving the two of you alone. Neither a monarch and his subject nor a god and its believer. Just you and him, as lovers.
“Did you really mean it?” You asked, soft and preparing for the worst.
“Yes,” He answered, voice equally soft as he squeezed you tight, he continued “I meant every I love yous I said to you, every promise made.”
He kissed you on your neck, on the vein that betrayed your heart’s quick pulse. He inhaled your scent which he had missed so dearly, remembering the nights he had spent thinking of you, wondering what you were doing. The nights he laid awake missing your warmth on his side, the afternoon naps where he held you close to his heart.
He watched from afar as you slowly and steadily made your way up in the ranks, each battle won and lost that slowly shaped you into a Harbinger. He thought of the days that made him want to simply steal you away, lock you in his room until you forgot your family, your duty, and only had him in your mind.
But he stopped himself, he knew that doing so would make you lose the shine that had entranced him, he would lose the you that he came to love. The you that was bound by duty both self-imposed and ones imposed by society. So he waited, until the day came when you stood before him, surprise hidden well but he was Ajax, he was your Cryo Archon, he was your lover whom you eagerly wrote every week.
So he knew your tells better than anyone else, knew the moment it clicked in your mind, saw the trepidation behind your eyes and Ajax wouldn’t have that. He had promised you after all, and he was one to keep promises.
Even if one day you wanted to leave him, he wouldn’t allow you. He had a promise to keep after all.
In the depths of Zapolyarny Palace was a room where the Tsaritsa, the Tsar’s most beloved wife resided. It was a room filled with splendor and grace, the best and most beautiful artworks and gadgets decorated the room.
It was a room that the Tsar loved the most, and thus it was the most important room in the Palace. The best of the Fatui sans the Harbingers guarded the doors that led to the halls of the room. It was strictly guarded and meant to ensure that not a single thing would be stolen from the room.
It was after all where you resided, a place where the Tsar designated as his home. His personal haven from courtly matters and godly duties. And today was no exception, every day you spent on the room was reliving your wedding night.
The soft silk sheets that you felt on your back, the white lacy lingerie that you wore underneath your wedding gown. It’s tiny slits that showcased your exposed and erect nipples, the your cum filled pussy that dripped with your husband’s thick cum that was always replenished multiple times in a day. The soft clink of the chains that held your wrists and had your legs spread widely. The familiar sensation of your collar that held your Cryo vision, a mark of his favor and love, a seal that ensured you would remain his until you drew your last breath. The soft cotton of your blindfold had enhanced your other senses beyond compare, making you hyper aware of everything that was happening in the room.
The familiar footsteps on the warm carpet of your bedroom, the familiar rustle of his clothes as it fell softly on the ground, cape first, shirt second, belt next and lastly his pants. His warm calloused hands gently caressing the insides of your thighs.
The same routine, repeated every day at different times since you married him. You couldn’t tell how much time had passed since he blindfolded you, how long you had spent with him, the days blurred as he never removed your blindfold.
He took you apart every time and mended you back, fucking you over and over again until he felt satisfied, until your pussy felt raw, until you were begging him for sweet release, until you lifelessly laid on his chest enjoying the feel of his hard cock being warmed by your cunt.
Your apprehension melted away with each fucking, with each release of his seed inside you, until you could only demand more of his time, more of his attention, more of his cum filling you up.
You loved when he was rough with you, the harsh and loud clinks of the chain as you moaned wantonly, begging him to cum inside you, to use you as he saw fit. And each time he went along with your wishes, fulfilling each and every demand you asked of him.
You kissed him with everything that you were, unrestrained by duty or dignity, only knowing what you want as you rubbed your naked and marked body against his, you weren’t the dignified or noble Tsaritsa the public knew. In this room filled with the most prized treasures of the Tsar, you were his most precious slut.
A slut that opened your legs for him alone, a slut that presented your ass and pussy to him with eager eyes hidden by a blindfold. A slut that couldn’t wait to be filled to the brim. It was his duty, his calling as a husband and as your lover to fulfill your needs, to ram his cock again and again inside your loose pussy that held so much of his cum even when your stomach was already showing.
It was his duty to ensure that you, his lewd wife, would be filled with his cum, from your pussy, to your asshole, to those pretty pink lips that eagerly wrapped itself on his cock. He loved how you didn’t care where he fucked you in the room. He loved how different you acted depending on whether he was ramming his cock inside you on the bed, or fucking you in front of the window.
He loved the way you moaned when the table digged on your hips, the way you grasped at the cover as he slid his dick in and out of your loose pussy, cum spilling down your thighs and pooling on the floor. He loved how slutty you could get when being fucked in the bathtub, water sloshing as you repeatedly slammed your pussy down his cock, moaning loud enough that some of it undoubtedly could be heard behind the thick doors of your room.
He loved the sounds you made, pleased and eager, as he fucked your mouth in front of the fireplace, your naked body sitting on the floor while a Cryo dildo repeatedly slammed inside your pussy.
He loved you when your stomach began showing signs of pregnancy, growing big with each passing week and yet you remained unaware, or perhaps you paid it no mind.
He couldn’t tell if you were genuinely happy with the arrangement but as long as you remained by his side, happily doing what he wants, whispering I love yous and adoration in his ears. Eagerly kissing him good morning and good bye, Ajax didn’t put any thought on it.
On the ninth month of your pregnancy, the blindfold was taken off, you looked at him with love and the unmistakable look of longing.
“I missed you!” You told him, eagerly running up to hug him, and plaster your entire naked body, cum dripping down between your legs, to his.
He laughed at you, amused and loving and gently held you close, “You shouldn’t run so quickly, you’re carrying our child after all.”
You nod, and look at your bulging stomach, hand instinctively rubbing it.
“I hope this child will look just like you!”
“Is that so?” He asked a pensive look in his eyes as he rubbed your stomach.
“Yes! How lovely would it be to see a child version of you? A mini-you calling me mother!”
He smiled at you fondly, pleased to know that you still loved him. He kissed you lovingly on your lips and whispered, “As you wish.”

GENSHIN SPOILERS!!!!
//waves hands around. i understand and am objectively fine with ppl saying that thoma and childe's personalities are similar but also i feel like a rabid audience member being held back by the seminar guards as i claw my way to the microphone to yell "SOME CORE SIMILARITIES ARE THERE BUT ALSO THERE'S THE CLEAR FACT THAT THE INSTITUTIONS ONE GETS INVOLVED IN AFFECTS ONE'S PERSONALITY !!!!" like like okay----
childe and thoma are similar in the sense that theyre young, have boyish charm, are playful and the such, and are dedicated to the institutions they serve. that last bit is where the divergence happens tho because thoma strikes me as somebody.....wayyyyy more....not sublimely fucked up kjdbfjasfk. ofc we dont know too much about his backstory yet (or at least i dont, im still early in the inazuma archon quest) but....childe works as a weapon for a powerful military organization that seeks to destabilize several nations while thoma works for a family that has always seen and treated him as an equal
it's the difference between growing up alone and only being able to rely on yourself and your own strength vs. growing up with people you can trust
this jus makes me so so so curious about more of thoma's story, esp during/before he was taken in by the kamisato clan aaaaaaaa
to wit, childe: who are you thoma: i am perhaps who you couldve been if you had, like, a support system childe: //summoning hydro blades
in conclusion (and i do apologize for bringing up memes of olde but this is the only way i can articulate my thoughts) thoma: beautiful cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure childe: stale cinnamon roll, been in this world too long, too cynical
