; Tighnari x Reader, fluff, romantic

; When Tighnari was gifted a Kamera by the Traveler, after taking a photo of you by accident, decided how he'd put it to good use.

"Hey, you haven't touched your food!"

"I will in a second."

Already at your wit's end to keep your hunger at bay, you finally bit into the delicious pita pocket Collei had packed for your patrol today.

While Tighnari continued to tinker away at the device in his hand as the cuisine next to him sat neglected. It was a gift from the Traveler from their recent trip to Fontaine, an enhanced(?) version of the Kamera that has the ability to both print the captured photo immediately as well as store the image in data form.

Naturally, scholar that he is, the forest watcher had been poking and pinching the device to fully understand it.

He even brought it with you during your patrol together, it capturing his attention even as you sat on one of the picnic tables scattered around the forest to eat your lunch.

... heh, capturing, captured, Kamera. Oh no, Cyno's infected you -

CLICK. And a flash after almost made you drop your food on the table.

"What the heck?" Desperately rubbing the white spots in your vision, you briefly saw a surprised expression pass by Tighnari's face as his attention still stayed on the device.

"My bad, I guess that's what that button does." He seemed content, you can tell just by looking at his tail that wagged enthusiastically behind him so openly. You were about to groan a complaint at him when the sound of gears and grinding caught you both off-guard.

Leaning close, you both watched as the Kamera began sliding out a piece of white paper. And there in all its glory is your face:

Pita pocket held near your chewing mouth as your cheeks were stuffed, your gaze off to the left signifying your preoccupied thoughts beforehand as a breeze gently swept your strands. Despite the impromptu shoot, somehow it turned out really well.

"Ohhh, that's some high quality print." But before you could take the photograph, his deft hands picked and pocketed the thing. Tighnari was already pulling away from the table as he cleaned up the place.

"The film for this is expensive and exported, every print is precious." He watched as you huffed to yourself, gathering your items into your bag as he reminded you that break time is over. Perfectly oblivious to the cheeky smile he dons as he decides how he would use his new toy.

The patrol continued as usual with the occasional small talk, but it relatively stayed in peaceful silence without much to say. His mind was elsewhere, you can tell by how his brows furrowed and his attention fleeting here and there.

His fingers twitched again when you spoke up. "Sooo, why did you bring the Kamera with you?"

"I was thinking of updating the field guide, perhaps a less comprehensive version, a digest with accompanying images."

Tighnari bit back a smile at the sight of you perking up at the idea, watching you copy his movement earlier to inspect the forest floor for any interesting floras to add into the digest. Flowers, flowers is a good start, can't go wrong with them.

You were always so eager to help, your companion shook his head endearingly as you started mumbling local flowers under your breath, completely enamored by the new task.

Patrol soon became a foraging trip as you lead the way with Tighnari following behind, Kamera already in his hand but not yet taking a photo of anything. Instead, he would point at a flower that looked to be the healthiest in the bunch which you would carefully pluck to join the bundle growing in your arms.

Lotuses, Viparyas, Sumeru Rose, Mint, Padisarahs, huh there's not really a lot of flower variations in the Avidya Forest actually.

"I think I got all of the flowers? Well, I added the mint despite not being a flower." Tighnari looked up from the mushroom he was inspecting to see you grinning at him, flowers overflowing in your arms. "You think we should add mushrooms into this -"

"Can you hold that pose for a second?" His eagerness seeped through his request as he raised the device. Even his ears twitched with excitement.

Nodding, you made sure that all the flowers (and mint) could be viewed in the shot. CLICK!

"Nice, did the flowers look good? I thought it would have been better to lay it out instead." You don't see the printed photograph this time as you focused on bunching up the flowers for an easier hold.

"Yeah, the flowers..." Yet when you looked at him, his attention was on the photo again with a soft and satisfied smile.

The patrol was thankfully uneventful after that. Something as engaging as a spinocrocodile or rishboland tiger encounter wouldn't really be good for a fragile Kamera in hand. You wouldn't be much help to Tighnari if you want to maintain the quality of the flowers you gathered either.

Some of the forest rangers already went back to Ghandarva Ville after their respective patrols well into the early evening, making the place livelier than it was that morning.

Stepping up to the platform, you were pleasantly surprised to see a familiar figure sitting under a lantern outside.

"Ah, Master Tighnari, (Y/N)! Welcome back from your patrol!"

"Why are you out here?" Placing your haul on the table, you took a seat next to Collei while the Forest Watcher sat across. "Studying?"

"Yeah, I can't quite grasp some of the concepts still so I thought a change of scenery would help." Leaning over as Collei tapped her pencil on her notes, Tighnari leaned his cheek to his palm, watching the two of you talk animatedly about the topic at hand.

"Oh, I remember this! Tighnari LOVES to make this topic difficult in his tests," the man in question scoffs and rolls his eyes. "But if you look at it this way -"

Eager to get some help, Collei passed the pencil to your awaiting hand as you started writing a new section in her notes. The way the trainee forest ranger presses against your side to get a closer look, how you make eye contact when emphasizing an important note to which Collei earnestly nods to, when you smile when you sense her progress -

CLICK. The both of you looked up from the study session with wide eyes, just in time to see Tighnari lower the Kamera with a smile.

Shaking your head, you kicked his foot under the table gently. "Precious print, my ass."

"A section highlighting the forest ranger's mentoring capabilities could be good." Was his immediate response, which you scoffed at with an easygoing smile.

"Don't worry about it, Collei." Your attention shifts to the younger female to ease her confusion on the matter. "He's just being a goof. Where were we? Right, so..."

The next day started beautifully for the Chief Officer, happier than when he finished his research, happier than when he ate his favorite mushroom.

How could he not be extra enthusiastic of the day when it started with him looking at the pictures he had taken, now tucked neatly on his table for later perusal. It looked better seeing it under the natural lighting of the morning, almost as if the image sparkles.

And when he saw you waving at him first thing in the morning, the day just got significantly better.

"Good morning, Master Tighnari." His eyes followed the hand that cards through your nicely dried hair. "Oh, you're taking more pictures today?"

"Yes." Eyes flickering between your form and the Kamera in his hand, a bright idea popped in his head. "Actually, can you stand there for a second?"

Confused but compliant, you watched as Tighnari placed the Kamera on a tree stump nearby, adjusting the angle and distance as he looked at you through the lens.

And when he was seemingly satisfied, he left the device there to join you where he left you.

Before you could ask, his lean arm snakes around your waist securely. "I found out that there was a timer option." That wasn't the question in your mind anymore tho!!

It wasn't until he started leaning forward did you finally realize his intention, hand grasping at his sleeves as the feeling of his warm breathe tickles your waiting lips. Your eyes closed with the distance, the gentleness reminiscent of a good morning kiss.

Just as soft as the flower petals you plucked yesterday, as filling as an afternoon meal, as sweet as the happiness of being with him —

CLICK! Your eyes flew open at the sudden flash.

Oh, that sneaky fox! But before you could comment on it, Tighnari leaned over to chase another kiss, his triumphant smirk melding with your lips.

Secret Santa Here 👋

Hey! How are you? I hope all is well and you're having a lovely day. 🥰

First off, I just wanted to say that I'm loving what you've requested. I, too, really enjoy nurse/medic reader roles! Ohhh, and I'm hearing you loud and clear on the pet names 😏. Secondly, I have some questions regarding your prompt:

Did you want two separate stories written; one for Javier Pena and one for Din D'jarin? If so, this is absolutely fine with me. I'd love to write something for both characters. 😊

Would you like smut/fluff/angst in the stories? If so, do you have any preferences?

And lastly, would you feel comfortble with the reader receiving medical attention? I have something in mind, but I want to make sure you're comfortble with this first.

Thank you!

Hiiii, It’s the start of finals week for me so I’ve been a little crazy with studying on top of work LOL buttttt aside from that I’ve been very well <3

waaaaa im so happy you understand haha that always makes writing more fun~ also ASDGRJFKSG you are SO SO sweet but you don’t have to write separate stories I definitely lean a bit more towards Din for obvious space cowboy reasons but you are absolutely free to pick for me. And yes I do love a good dose of fluff/SMUT/angst OR any mixture of them if I’m being quite honest. Also I do not mind receiving medical attention (: I probably would just get super shy/embarrassed lol

Sorry for my paragraph 🫡 but I am SO excited already AAAAAAAAAA💜💜💜💜

Hey Caly. Hope you're doing well. I saw some of your recent posts.

On a serious note:

Nobody have any right to tell you how to create your own universe in the story. I myself am a fluff enthusiast but I can't expect every time every instances will be rainbows and sunshine. And secondly it's not realistic. As a reader, I'll accept whatever the writer *gifts* us. Yes, the fanfics every writer writes is a gift to us, as no body gets paid for this. You all do it out of your own time, spend your own energy to gift us. And we should treat it as a gift. So demanding something to be written as we want it too, is actually improbable. I can't force someone to gift something to me can I? I'm sorry if such messages brings you down Caly, because I know how each of your creation is like your own baby. But I want you to remember if there's 3 people saying they don't like the way you write, there will be 20 people whose day gets better from your ffs or interacting with you, including me. So don't feel disheartened.

Also, I'm also defending you, but I'm doing it by reminding you how precious you are. Not by fighting your battles with others. Because it's not my place. Even if anyone wants to defend their favourite creator, send love to them because they might feel low. But spreading hate to anyone is not the answer. Even right now I'm not angry at anyone, I'm just disappointed how people take artists/writers/creator for granted. Please don't spread hate guys. The world already have enough of it. Kindness is underrated. Spread that .

On a lighter note:

Your piercings are soooo pretty!! As I said, I'm someone who's not a fan of peircing on myself, but I appreciate when it looks good on others. You look so badass with all those peircings. 🥺❤️ Also MOC! Seonghwa is my perfect man. There I said it. 👀 I mean if someone can apply for being Yunho's wife, I'm applying for Seonghwa's best friend, other than Joong of course and not wife because I ship him with MC so much. 😂

Anyway this was extremely long. But I just wanted to remind you, don't let anyone bring you down. You're strong, you're beautiful and also you make our days better. Love you ❤️

Hi bby I'm doing well today, it's been up and down in some areas, but I'm in a good mental place today :c thank you so much first of all like seriously thank you. your words really really help and it just helps to hear it and remember it because i get in my head so much. thank you for supporting me and encouraging me. that's more than i could ever ask for, and i'm so touched and thankful. you're absolutely right; the world has more than enough hate in it. kindness needs to be prioritized and spread more, and i'm thankful for people like you who are unapologetically kind and loving 🥺🥺

secondly thank you so much 🥺 i definitely get that, my best friend says she loves piercings on me but she doesn't like them on herself!! 🥺🧡 moc seonghwa truly be the MOST perfect man in existence, and honestly i think he's only gonna get more perfect from here on out ✋😔 i just get more and more excited to write all the arcs with each ask i answer aaaaaaaaaa im just so beyond excited. anyway!!! thank you again so so much, you're so sweet ;-; i love you!! 🥺💖
