How my sagau team would interact: Hyperbloom

Ah yes the team with the man i spent money on.... this man i swear.

Alright. Al haitham is main dps, shinobu is healer with Traveller and Xingqiu being sub dps.

A/n: just check the Zeph national post for Xingqiu's part

Tw: Yandere, mention of animal sacrifices in Shinobu's part

》 Al Haitham

The 11th to be bestowed with a golden star

He gets along quite nicely with everyone, their like a well oiled machine. On downtimes he talks with Xingqiu about various books mostly about the creator and her ideals, discussing various topics with Shinobu and asking the Traveller about the creator and their traits.

This man made me spend so much money... and i still don't have his weapon, crying rn. But i love him, hes my husband(real)

》About the creator: Sage of the divine

What do i think of their grace? Well from the short while ive been with her she is quite the artist. Had i known that i would be blessed by her after becoming the acting grand sage, i would have searched up all the known records the academiya has. Maybe i should ask the Traveller and Lesser Lord Kusanali for more information.

》About the creator: Facination

What's on the table? Well it's all the records and information we have on her grace. Being the Acting Grand Sage has its perks after all, anyways do you have some time to help me sift through these things? I need any and every bit of information you have on her. So that when she decends, we will be equipped to cater to her every desire.

----------------

》Kuki Shinobu

Blessed by the creator

Despite no longer being a shrine maiden she still remembers the rituals and ceremonies held for the creator, often prays for herself and the arataki gang. She gets along well with the others and shares the information about various ceremonies held in Inazuma for the creator.

She's really fun to play tbh, im still building her but ther heals and electro make Al Haitham so effective.

》About the creator: Prayers to the divine

O- oh hey what's up did Itto amd the others cause trouble? Just checking up on me, alright i just finished praying to her grace. She's helped me and the gang in our toughest times, so i always give her my thanks.

》 About the creator: Ceremony

Lady Guuji, called for me the other day looks like she wants me to be apart of this celebration for her grace. Apparently since I'm one of her blessed. Lady Ayaka will lead the sacrifice because she is the main vessel of her grace, they've already picked out a sacrifice, a white rabbit and a snake. I hope their grace is happy with this.

----------------

》 Lumine - The Traveller

Vassal of The Creator

Held in high regard by all the blessed for her connection to the creator. Everyone always gives their offerings to her in hopes of it reaching her grace. Gets along well with everyone, ever since she arrived in the land of Sumeru her grace has blessed her with more items.

Oh my beloved lumine, ever since dendro came out I've been using her more and more. She even tears the spiral abyss despite being half built along with the others.

》About the creator: Guide of the divine

Lumine: Hey paimon... do you think that their grace would still stay with us when she decends?

Paimon: Of course she would! Paimon knows where all the best food spots are in Teyvat!

Lumine: Well, she has people like Ayaka and Master Diluc who would let her stay.

Paimon: Well it doesn't matter! Because you and Paimon is the best guides in all of Teyvat!

Lumine: Alright Paimon.

》About the creator: Original

Paimon: Hey how many vassals does the creator have?

Lumine: If i remember correctly... She has 38 vassals right now.

Paimon: Does that include you and me?

Lumine: Well it includes me but it would be 39 if you were too.

Paimon: Yeah! we're like the original worshippers of the creator.... well maybe if you don't count Zhongli and the rest of the seven.

Lumine: Mhm, no one else can say otherwise.

how i think genshin characters would react if the traveler took a hit for them in battle

Featured characters: Kazuha, Diluc, Zhongli, Xiao, Yae Miko

(Also if you want your own custom story with any character from any fandom, please support me on fiverr https://www.fiverr.com/share/vP6NwZ)

WARNING: Hey! There’s some character death in this one. Consider yourself warned. 

Kazuha

Kazuha had been exploring the area with the Traveler when they stumbled upon a group of Fatui agents. The two quickly got into a fight, but Kazuha could tell that the Traveler was struggling to keep up. Despite Kazuha's best efforts to protect them, the Traveler suddenly pushed him aside and took a hit from a Fatui mage's spell.

Kazuha was stunned. He watched as the Traveler fell to the ground, barely conscious. The Fatui agents took advantage of the situation and started to surround them. But Kazuha couldn't move. All he could think about was the Traveler's sacrifice.

He knelt down beside them and cradled their head in his lap. "Hang on," he whispered. "I'll take care of you."

Kazuha used his Anemo powers to create a shield around them, blocking out the attacks from the Fatui. He knew he couldn't hold it forever, but he would do everything in his power to protect the Traveler.

As the battle raged on, Kazuha stayed by the Traveler's side. He tried to keep them conscious, but they were slipping away. "Please, stay with me," he begged. "I can't lose you."

But it was too late. The Traveler's body went limp, and Kazuha felt a pain in his chest. He had failed to protect them, and now they were gone.

Kazuha closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. He stayed there, holding the Traveler's lifeless body until the battle was over. He vowed to seek revenge on the Fatui agents who had taken the Traveler from him, and to honor their sacrifice by continuing their journey to protect the people of Teyvat.

Diluc

Diluc's eyes widened as he saw a dangerous attack coming straight towards him. He tried to move out of the way, but he was too slow. Just as he thought he was done for, the Traveler jumped in front of him and took the hit instead.

"Diluc, are you okay?" the Traveler asked weakly, blood trickling down their cheek.

Diluc was in shock. He had never seen someone sacrifice themselves so readily. He knelt down beside the Traveler, cradling their head in his arms.

"Why did you do that?" he asked, his voice choked with emotion.

The Traveler smiled weakly. "I couldn't let anything happen to you," they said. "You're too important to me."

Diluc felt his heart swell with emotion. He had always suspected that the Traveler had feelings for him, but he never dared to hope that they were mutual.

"I...I feel the same way," he stammered, his eyes filling with tears. "Please, hold on. We'll get you help."

The Traveler's eyes fluttered closed, and Diluc felt a surge of panic. He picked them up in his arms and started running towards the nearest town.

As he ran, he couldn't help but think about how much the Traveler meant to him. He had never felt this way about anyone before, and he didn't know what he would do if he lost them.

Finally, he arrived at the town's clinic, where the Traveler was immediately taken into the care of the healers. Diluc paced outside, his heart racing with fear and uncertainty.

Finally, after what felt like hours, a healer emerged from the clinic.

"The Traveler will be okay," they said. "They were lucky, the wound wasn't too deep. They just need some rest and they'll be as good as new."

Diluc felt a wave of relief wash over him. He thanked the healer and rushed back to the Traveler's side.

The Traveler was still unconscious, but they looked peaceful. Diluc sat down beside them and took their hand in his own.

"I promise, I'll always protect you," he whispered, pressing a soft kiss to the back of their hand. "I love you."

Zhongli

Zhongli had been fighting alongside the Traveler in battle, their combined efforts making quick work of their enemies. However, they were suddenly ambushed from behind by a powerful enemy, and the Traveler noticed too late. Without hesitation, they pushed Zhongli out of the way and took the hit themselves.

Zhongli's eyes widened as he saw the Traveler fall to the ground, their body trembling with pain. He rushed to their side, his heart racing with fear and worry. He could see the pain etched on their face, and he knew it was bad.

With trembling hands, Zhongli gently cradled the Traveler's head, trying to assess the damage. "Stay with me," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "You're going to be okay."

The Traveler tried to speak, but all that came out was a painful groan. Zhongli could see the fear in their eyes, and it made his heart ache. He could feel his own fear and panic rising, but he tried to stay calm for their sake.

"We need to get you help," Zhongli said, his voice urgent. "Hold on, I'll get us out of here."

With the Traveler in his arms, Zhongli quickly retreated from the battlefield, his thoughts consumed with worry for their safety. He knew he had to act fast, and he focused all his attention on getting them to safety.

Once they were a safe distance away, Zhongli carefully laid the Traveler down and examined their injuries more closely. He could see the damage was extensive, and he knew they needed medical attention right away.

Zhongli called for help, and soon they were surrounded by healers, all working to save the Traveler's life. For hours, Zhongli watched anxiously as they worked, praying for the Traveler's recovery.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the healers declared that the Traveler would recover. Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with gratitude and joy.

As the Traveler slowly regained consciousness, Zhongli sat by their side, holding their hand and promising to always protect them. He knew he owed them his life, and he would never forget the bravery they had shown in protecting him.

Xiao

Xiao watched as the Traveler pushed him out of the way, taking the full force of the enemy's attack. He was stunned, frozen in place as he watched the Traveler fall to the ground, unconscious and bleeding.

For a moment, Xiao couldn't move. He was too focused on the sight before him, the Traveler lying motionless on the ground, their blood staining the earth beneath them. He couldn't believe what had just happened. The Traveler had taken a hit for him, risking their own life to protect him.

But there was no time to dwell on it. Xiao knew he had to act quickly to save the Traveler's life. He rushed to their side and began to assess their injuries, trying to figure out the best course of action.

As he worked, he couldn't help but think about what had just happened. The Traveler had always been there for him, ready to help him whenever he needed it. And now, they had given up their own safety to protect him. He felt a surge of emotions, a mix of gratitude, guilt, and fear all swirling within him.

Xiao did his best to treat the Traveler's wounds, but he knew it was beyond his abilities. He needed to get the Traveler to a healer, and fast. He gently picked up the Traveler, cradling them in his arms as he began to run towards the nearest town.

As he ran, his thoughts were consumed with worry for the Traveler. He couldn't bear the thought of losing them, not after everything they had been through together. He silently vowed to do everything in his power to save them.

Finally, they arrived at the healer's shop, and Xiao carefully laid the Traveler down on the bed. He watched anxiously as the healer tended to their wounds, doing everything they could to save their life.

Hours passed before the Traveler finally stirred, their eyes slowly opening as they took in their surroundings. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they were going to be okay.

When the Traveler finally spoke, their words were slurred and weak, but they were filled with gratitude. They thanked Xiao for all he had done, but he knew it was he who should be thanking them. The Traveler had risked their life to save him, and he would never forget it.

From that day forward, Xiao made a promise to himself to never forget what the Traveler had done for him. He knew he owed them a debt of gratitude that could never be repaid, but he would do everything in his power to try.

Yae Miko

Yae Miko was in the middle of a fierce battle against a group of powerful enemies, her swift movements and powerful attacks keeping them at bay. The Traveler, who was fighting alongside her, was holding their own but suddenly, one of the enemies launched an unexpected attack towards Yae Miko from behind.

The Traveler saw the attack coming and without hesitation, they leaped in front of Yae Miko, shielding her from the attack with their own body. The hit was powerful, and the Traveler fell to the ground, their body wracked with pain.

Yae Miko froze for a moment, seeing the Traveler lying on the ground in front of her, blood pooling around them. Her first instinct was to run to their side and help them, but she knew that there were still enemies to defeat. With a heavy heart, she forced herself to continue fighting, using her anger and sadness to fuel her attacks.

As the battle came to an end and the enemies were defeated, Yae Miko rushed to the Traveler's side. Their breathing was shallow, and their body was weak, but they managed to smile weakly at her.

"Are you okay?" Yae Miko asked, her voice shaking with emotion.

The Traveler nodded, their eyes closing slowly. "I'm glad I could protect you," they said, their voice barely above a whisper.

Yae Miko's heart broke at the words, and tears welled up in her eyes. She took the Traveler's hand, holding it tightly as they slipped away from her.

In that moment, Yae Miko realized how much the Traveler had come to mean to her. They had fought alongside each other, shared their hopes and fears, and now, they had given their life to protect her. She would never forget the sacrifice they had made, and she vowed to honor their memory by fighting for what they had believed in.

Seraphim: Magic System

In Seraphim, the world is run by magic. The world is predominantly filled with people that wield elemental magic but occasionally there are individuals that are able to wield rare elements such as Light and the forbidden Abyssal magic. In this game, you play as Lumine who is a rare wielder of Light Magic.

Developing your magical abilities is key in order to achieve certain endings with specific individuals and being able to heal Aether, please make sure not to neglect them! Obtain magic points by studying or visiting the Akademiya and trigger various events!

Pyro: the element of fire. A powerful magic with users that burn brightly and passionately. But Pyro is as volatile as it is grand making as fire has no true master. It is difficult to wield and yet a prized magic to be blessed with. Teyvat’s strongest knights wield Pyro as expertly as one can. Wielders of this magic must be careful not set unstoppable infernos in their path.

Cryo: the element of ice. An element of ferocity and beauty, it is an element held in high regard by the nobility of Teyvat. It is viewed as Pyro’s equal in terms of strength and the amount of wielders that exist among the nobility as a common noble magic to have. Some argue this is the loneliest element, but those are such debates for the commoners who gawk at the nobility like rare gems among swine.

Electro: the element of lightning. A mysterious element with few wielders in comparison to the rest and it isn’t exactly known why. Because of this rarity, however, Electro wielders are held in special regard among nobles and seen as true rarities. There have been power struggles in noble families due to this when parents decide to make their younger Electro wielding child the heir, pushing their older child who doesn’t have the ability off to the sidelines.

Anemo: the element of air. The element of freedom that works in tandem with the rest, able to take the qualities of other magic as its own. Hence, despite its lack of practical usage, Anemo magic is seen as strong by many. This magic is used by quite a few acrobatic performers, yet it isn’t viewed poorly as other magic has been in the past.

Hydro: the element of water. The most beautiful element in the opinion of the general public and an ability most noble ladies yearn to have. It is said that Hydro wielders have the best skin among mages. Wielders of this magic tend to be healers, artisans or performers in present day Teyvat and among the nobles, it is seen as graceful and strong in equal aspects.

Geo: the element of rock. One of two elemental magic abilities that was once looked down upon as commoner magic and until recently has been viewed more favorably by the general public. A sturdy magic that seldom fails as earth is dependable and constant. Knights of Geo are growing in Teyvat’s army and nobles of this magic no longer feel shame to share this magic with common workers such as construction laborers.

Dendro: the element of plants. At large, Dendro is still viewed as a type of magic for famers at worst and apothecaries at best, but with Dendro artisans on the rise crafting fabulous living sculptures and scholars finding the ‘living’ aspect of this magic fascinating, public opinion is beginning to turn. Still, nobles who have been blessed with this magic are looked down upon by their peers.

Light: the magic of the saints. The magic of the royal family and a magical ability very rare to see in the commonfolk. As such, most commonfolk know little about it.

Abyssal: a forbidden magical ability deemed dangerous by the sages. Presently, not many texts remain on Abyssal magic in present day.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE GENSHIN CROSSOVER.

...with the understanding that I'm still in the first area and have no idea what half of this means which is an excuse to go into as much excessive detail as you want. 😉

Everyone is still talented but also now has a Vision (except Hajime, fucking dweeb). I can't really talk about all characters bc this will be WAY too long, so here's your girls.

Kyoko

Background; Kyoko is a native Fontainian, and continues her work in her home nation. She is one of the best detectives and is heavily sought after in a nation where you are often put on trial. Even though she is NOT a lawyer and has stated so to nearly every individual in Fontaine, she always ends up as a prosecutor or defense attorney. She is not pleased (the pay is good though).

She had gained her Electro vision shortly after the death of her partner, one day appearing in her scarred hands.

Meta; 5* Electro Sub-Dps. Bow user, normal attacks and charge attacks are bow defaults. Skill allows her to switch her bow for a rifle, preforming 4 rounds of Electro charged bullets through snipes. Burst allows for her to release an Electro AOE that confuse and stuns enemies, a Smoke Screen. Ousia Alignment. Extra Talents allows for an increase in sped during nighttime.

Mikan

Background; Mikan was born and raised in Fontaine, but is often traveling around Teyvat and is rarely in one place for a long time. She heavily dislikes her family and tries to stay out of Fontaine for as long as she can. She is primarily hired by high profile officials if they are injured or sick, but she will help the less fortunate for no charge. She both likes not staying in one place because she doesn't have to stay around cruel people for long and she gets to see all the beautiful places in Teyvat but she also dislikes it due to not being able to form relationships. She is often used as a mailman for Mahiru and Hyoko. Her favorite nation to visit is Snezhnaya.

She gained her Hydro vision after she first patched someone up, she cried for 3 straight days afterwards.

Meta; 5* Hydro Healer. Claymore user, normal attacks and charged attacks are default, however her animations are her nearly tripping over it or almost falling. Skill allows her to revive one fallen character every 3 minutes. Burst will provide a massive amount of healing to the entire team including herself. Pneuma Alignment. Extra Talent gives food 15% more healing effects.

Monaca

Background; Monaca is Fontainian, born from a very poor mother who lived in the sewers of Fontaine and later lived with her father, one of the leading manufacturers for Mechas. She has always been fascinated by the tech in Fontaine, desperate to get ahold of anything she can. She loves to take things apart and put them back together again.

She found her Dendro vision inside of the first robot she ever built, pissed it wasn't Pyro like her Big Sis Junko's.

Meta; still under work, definitely will mirror Junko's though.

Personal Sagau Intro

IMPORTANT NOTE: Much of this can be subject to change!!! I don’t really have this whole thing entirely planned out, so this is not a guarantee of what the series will be. This is written as of 10/24/22, and I have not started the first chapter yet. This intro drabble will not be updated, but I will instead make a new one if the changes are major.

I really need a better title for this series. It’s just... so bland. Anyway, this fic is extremely self indulgent, and not quite an x reader, although the player/owner of the account will be referred to as “you.” The reader is entirely based on my experience in the game, as this is based on my account. I will be changing a FEW things to make it more interesting, and also because it would be boring for me to just write everything that I’ve done in game. There will be no romance in the series since I have no plans of the reader/player actually descending to Teyvat as of now. This series is also COMPLETELY SFW with the occasional gore/violence, which will be tagged and warned about accordingly.

Quick side note: This will probably be poetic interludes from the perspective of a specific character. I don’t know if this is exactly what I’ll be doing, but let me know if you’re interested!

About the world: In this SAGAU, the characters worship the Creator as usual, with the player/reader not knowing about it. The characters are also aware they are somehow “chosen” to be vessels, with a heavenly meteor shower of gold/purple flying above them when chosen. POV will switch between controlled characters (kind of???) and the player/reader. The reader is completely gender-ambiguous and uses they/them pronouns. 

About the reader/creator/player: Just an average genshin enjoyer whose POV will not include major aspects from things not related to them playing genshin. They have no idea about the SAGAU concept, and sometimes simply talk to the characters for the fun of it (little do they know, their beloved characters can hear some of it). Their age is also ambiguous, but is from the age of 16-20.

About the characters: I will mostly be talking about the characters I have or understand the personality of well enough. Who these characters are? Here are some short drabbles about the main characters: 

NOTE: Some of these constellations are purposely inaccurate to what I have, so please tell me if I get some of their buffs from constellations wrong, since I don’t have any experience using them (same applies to characters I have more constellations of, and included a higher constellation feature then the one I stated they are.)

Jean (C0): The first five star you get, coming home at early pity on someone else’s banner (you’ll find out who soon ;) ). She is decently built, mostly as a healer and sub DPS. She used to be a fine main DPS, before being fazed out and replaced, only to be used as a slight buffer/healer in the spiral abyss. She holds a slight grudge against her successor, but she shoves the insecurities down into the depths of her heart. She could never be made at you, her beloved creator! She understands her place and tries to excel at what she does and in her assigned role.

Zhongli (C0): The second five star, coming home at soft pity on his banner. He is very poorly built and is only used for his shield and burst. He is completely dedicated to serving his role in the party, and takes it as a personal challenge to do his best with his bare-bones equipment. He feels as though you don’t build him better because you feel as if he can succeed without the extra help. Very proud, and often bores his fellow party members with his lengthy anecdotes, constant talk of osmantus wine, and occasional boasting about Their Grace’s confidence in his abilities without divine assistance.

Diluc (C1): Very well built, with his many five-star artifacts and R5 archaic. He feels blessed about coming home on both the standard and limited time banner of another (you certainly don’t feel that way). Although he is somber that he is no longer in parties as much, he feels a sense of relief that you still occasionally use him, and haven’t recycled his artifacts. Usually a main or sub DPS. He cares deeply about his fellow party members (which he can sometimes feel resentment towards because they are used more), except when a certain Calvary Captain is used. To his dismay, his damage is much lower, but still feels the need to surpass his “brother.” Do you pair them on teams together as a punishment, or because you truly want them to reconnect?

Damn this is getting long, so I’ll post a part 2 and 3 with the other major characters listed. Thank you for the support, and I’ll see you in the next post!

[indexvirus]

Do they actually know what it is... ?

Second part of the project in which we assume if Genshin Characters know about sexual intercourse, love life and eroticism, and if they do, then what.

This was done purely with Teyvat’s culture in mind with little real world inspiration. We tried to be “realistic”, so we’re also a bunch of boring gals and pals here...

Unreleased characters will be updated.

Mondstadt Edition (will be updated soon)

Liyue Edition (Coming soon maybe)

Akademiya Students learn from books written by Rukkhadevata herself. These books teach about sexuality, eroticism and emotional fulfillment in life. These books are a guide to living well and healthily, to the nature of love, to finding a partner and maintaining love life, and other aspects pertaining to pleasure-oriented faculties of life.

Sumeru Desert Folk who do not have access to akademiya teachings, learn of sexual intercourse and finding a partner early on from their parents or other authority figures, such as healers and village teachers. While some of King Deshret’s teachings still exist, it’s rare to come by a person who’s read them.

Sumeru Rainforest Folk who have no access to akademiya teachings, often have connections to people who do. It is not unusual for youngsters to seek out scholars, especially those working in Bimarstan, about these things if they have no family or friends enrolled in the Akademiya. However, sharing information from the Akademiya is hard and during Azar’s time, illegal.

Alhaitham may be a man operated by rationality, which makes him wait for the right partner before attempting at anything as dangerous as sexual intercourse (and the consequences), but he studies what he wants, and that includes eroticism. One would be mistaken to think his virginity makes him ignorant to erogenous zones, pleasure and nature of love. He’ll study his partner like a book...

Candace learned from her mother at an early age. Because of her duties, she’s remained inexperienced and believes in various myths such as what day of week or what positions are best for conception. She’s devoted to learn both household and erotic skills in order to some day have a happy and large family.

Cyno is a young, devout member of the Matra and someone who exercises absolute control over his curiosities, which is why he’s had little chances to experience intimacy. After allowing his body to become a vessel to a spirit, he’s now also devoted to learning Rukkhadevata’s books about the nature of love and eroticism, in order to never let this spirit out of control in those situations.

Collei did not have a parent or a village healer to teach her and she wouldn’t dare to ask about it from Tighnari. When her periods started, she send a letter to Lisa instead and Lisa provided her the material, which Collei has not read yet. Due to her social anxiety and haphephobia, she doesn’t believe she’ll need to learn the birds and the bees yet.

Faruzan’s information comes from books and trusted sources, and although she hasn’t had had the oppurtunity to experience it first hand, she’s proud about the fact that people can trust her and come to her if they need to know if this, and that, is normal. Indeed, as a student or Haravatat, she’s also studied the language of love.

Kaveh is a social, marriagable man with household skills and devotion of both a husband and the wife. He’s skilled in the architecture of eroticisim, romance and pleasure-oriented life, and has had past partners. His debts however keep him single for now...

Layla is way too sleep deprived, stressed out and focused to her studies to be interested in, or remember the importance of, relationships. Although her mother has given her the talk early on, she worries for Layla’s future... The girl is clueless about these things.

Nilou knows plenty enough about the subject. Not only did her parents teach her, she’s had many “sisters” and “mothers” in the grand bazaar who have shared their experiences and tips with her. She views sex as a sacred act meant to improve one’s mental and physical health and bring two people closer together in a “dance of love”.

Tighnari’s people mature quick. They don’t need to be taught sexual interaction as it is innate and part of their most fundamental, natural instincts. It came natural to him on his first time, yet it also became clear that mating for humans is very different from his people. As much as the Akademiya’s books provide knowledge on the matter, he considers it far more important to learn from his chosen partner.

Wanderer (we named him Jun) has no experience nor interest in the action. He has the components for it in his android body, which he thinks as a “ridiculously stupid joke”, because he doesn’t see the need or doesn’t want to be so vulnerable and emotional with someone.

Il Dottore (Zandik) has, according to the comedy, had a partner who cheated on him. Skilled in biology and psychology, knowing basic erogenous zones and importance of touch, positions and patience is natural to him. Yet, partly because of his past experience, and partly because he and the rest of the segments are androids, he has no interest in forming emotionally charged relationships that’d distract his “cognitions”, at the moment.

Azar was kicked in the balls by a goat as a kid, either metaphorically or literally.

"Eternal Remembrance: The Unbreakable Love of Zhongli and Y/N"

Once upon a time, in the mystical land of Teyvat, there lived a diligent and noble Geo Archon named Zhongli. He was known for his unwavering dedication to the protection and preservation of Liyue and its people. However, beneath his stoic exterior, Zhongli carried a deep longing for companionship and a desire to experience the joys of love and family.

One fateful day, destiny smiled upon Zhongli as he encountered a remarkable individual named Y/N. Y/N possessed an enchanting spirit and a heart filled with warmth and kindness. Their meeting was serendipitous, as if the universe itself conspired to bring them together. In each other's presence, they discovered a profound connection, one that transcended time and space.

As their love blossomed, Zhongli and Y/N vowed to spend eternity together, embracing the joys and challenges that life would throw their way. Their bond grew stronger with every passing day, and they knew that their love was a rare and precious gem that should be cherished.

In due time, Y/N discovered that they were carrying a child—a symbol of their love, a beacon of hope for the future. Their hearts swelled with joy and anticipation as they eagerly awaited the arrival of their little one. Zhongli, in his unwavering devotion, supported Y/N every step of the way, ensuring their comfort and happiness.

However, fate can be both beautiful and cruel. On a stormy night, as the world outside echoed with thunder and lightning, Y/N went into labor. Zhongli's heart raced with both excitement and worry. He remained steadfast by Y/N's side, holding their hand and whispering words of encouragement.

Despite the best efforts of healers and midwives, complications arose during the birth. Zhongli's heart shattered as he witnessed Y/N's strength wane, and their life force slipping away. With tear-filled eyes, Y/N managed to utter their last words, expressing their undying love for Zhongli and the child they were leaving behind.

As the rays of the morning sun filtered through the windows of Zhongli's humble abode, casting a gentle glow on the room, a solemn knock echoed on the door. Zhongli, dressed in his customary attire, opened the door to find a fellow adeptus, Baizhu, standing before him, his expression heavy with sorrow.

"Zhongli," Baizhu spoke softly, his voice trembling with grief, "I bring you news that weighs heavy upon my heart. Y/N... they did not survive the birth."

Time seemed to come to a standstill for Zhongli as those words reverberated through his being. His breath caught in his throat, and his stoic facade crumbled. The weight of the news crashed down upon him like an avalanche of sorrow.

"No... No!" Zhongli's voice cracked, a single tear cascading down his cheek. "How can this be? Y/N... my beloved... gone?"

Baizhu, his own eyes welling up with tears, stepped closer to Zhongli and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I am truly sorry for your loss, Zhongli. Y/N was a remarkable soul, and their absence will be felt deeply."

Zhongli's legs gave way beneath him, and he sank to his knees, a mixture of anguish and disbelief washing over him. His mind replayed memories of his time with Y/N, their laughter, their shared dreams, and their unwavering love.

Through his tears, Zhongli whispered, his voice choked with emotion, "Y/N... my love, my heart... How will I go on without you?"

Baizhu knelt down beside Zhongli, offering a presence of solace in the midst of the storm. "In the face of such profound loss, it is natural to feel overwhelmed. But you are not alone, my friend. Lean on those who care for you, and remember the beautiful legacy Y/N left behind."

Zhongli, his gaze filled with a mixture of pain and determination, looked up at Baizhu. "You are right, my dear friend. I must find the strength to carry on for our child, to honor Y/N's memory. Their love will forever burn within my heart."

And so, in that moment of profound grief, Zhongli made a silent vow to be the best parent he could be for their child, cherishing and nurturing them with all the love that Y/N had shown him.

As the world outside continued to move forward, Zhongli would forever carry the weight of his loss, his heart forever intertwined with the memory of Y/N. Their love would guide him through the darkest of days, and their legacy would live on, immortalized in the story of their love and the child they left behind.

The loss was immense, and grief consumed Zhongli's being. However, he found solace in their child—a precious gift that carried within them the essence of Y/N. Zhongli dedicated himself to raising their child, nurturing them with unconditional love, and sharing tales of the extraordinary person Y/N was. The child possessed the same warmth and kindness that Y/N had exuded, filling Zhongli's heart with bittersweet memories.

Though Zhongli still mourned the loss of Y/N, he drew strength from their love and carried on, forever honoring their memory. He knew that even in death, their bond would never be broken, for their love was eternal, transcending the mortal plane.

And so, the story of Zhongli and Y/N became a legend in Teyvat, passed down through the ages—a tale of love, sacrifice, and the enduring power of the human spirit. It reminded people that love could conquer even the greatest sorrow, and that the legacy of those we lose lives on in the hearts of those who remember them.

Nat, I am affectionately demanding Praskovya thoughts

HERE ARE SOME FACTS ABT MY BELOVED LITTLE OC:

cw for uuh. yandere behaviours i guess, that exists in their backstory fgnkjbjnkf. deaths.

praskovya is a well-known classical singer; thanks mostly to pantalone, their 'patron's' influence.

praskovya comes from a reasonably poor family; they have two elder brothers and one younger brother. they worked as various kinds of labourers and fishers and hunters, but it really wasn't much for a family of five, especially as their parents were sickly and healthcare is not free in snezhnaya.

consequently, they went off to 'make their fortune', and whilst singing in seedy taverns and grubbing what mora they could, they encountered regrator, who felt that their . . . potential was being squandered. he offered them a nice, comfortable residency in the snezhnayan capital, a steady stream of income, the best doctors for their parents, comfortable roles in the fatui for their three brothers where they could earn mora too without being in the direct line of fire - in return for a certain amount of their earnings and allowing him to be their patron.

. . . honestly, praskovya was very much a naive country bumpkin, and when pantalone began to pay other kinds of attentions to them, they were thrilled at being wanted by someone so handsome and charming, and didn't realise they'd made themselves a caged little songbird until it was too late for them to do anything about it.

their parents died, despite the doctor's care. two of their brothers perished in action, too; despite pantalone's assurance of their safety. the third chose to be moved to a more active duty. so they had nowhere else to go - and their life was comfortable and they had everything they wanted and so why would they want to leave--

you may have noticed that praskovya has an anemo vision. yeah. they actually got that when they left home, and it may or may not be why they stood out amongst other hopefuls vying for pantalone's attentions and influence. you will also remember that anemo visions are for people who desire freedom.

playing along and batting eyelashes and begging someone who's already very indulgent upon you is a good way to carefully get what you want; when praskovya innocent suggested that perhaps they would like to see other nations in teyvat, wouldn't it be a boon for snezhnaya's tourism and reputation for one of their 'celebrities' to tour, and praskovya has been taught so many beautiful songs about the fatui's victories and the tsaritsa's glories and is so patriotic about their home country . . . well. making that suggestion in front of other harbingers certainly helped.

so praskovya was given a retinue of fatui soldiers (very bored and very unhappy to be stuck with such a useless detail) and a carefully constructed schedule that started in liyue (where, at the time, the fatui's links with the millelith were amicable) - and ran away as soon as that first schedule of performances were over.

so. depending on what character i'm daydreaming abt them with depends where they went, but usually they went to monstadt where diluc is EXTREMELY distrustful of this snezhnayan singer at the cat's tail who doesn't seem to want to be seen by any of the fatui diplomats that are still in the area.

some other boring info fgkjnbkjnfg:

four star anemo bow user, mostly a healer/support.

level-up materials: hurricane seeds, fatui insignias, windwheel asters

favoured furnishing sets; bird & blossom park, amidst whispering winds

[sagau-my-beloved]

oh yeah i feel you

i don understand the pity system anymore and honestly i think i never understood in the first place 😭

i got my venti at 32 pity, my earliest one, and then at the other end of the spectrum my experience with zhongli and kokomi went past 100+ pulls, and thats on the banners i got them on, and then add a couple 10's in the past reruns when i FAILED to get them 🤡

i think im just very unlucky with 5 stars, but tbh im inclined to believe the pity system is just some myth now

as for pulling his weapon vs saving, that's a pretty good call !! it's really best to play w a character for a while first and seeing what roles they best fit in ur team before spending :0

you still have a lot of time left before the next banners anyway and with the new regions, more primos for future charas or his weapon

eitherway goodluck and have fun!! (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

Pity system makes no sense gang 😔✌

Still, it's a bit of a better system than a lot of other gacha games (not that I've really played a lot of others) that are all "Here's the percentage of you getting it this specific thing, that's not increasing or decreasing no matter how many pulls you do, good luck 👍", but yeah it's still not very consistent as is

Honestly, I really do wanna build him as a dps, I know he's typically better for crowd control and support but the idea of just absolutely decimating things is kind of fun, but a build for that takes a decent amount of luck so I have him as support rn, tho he is still one of my strongest characters simply because I don't build a lot of them like I should since that requires a lot of research—

Without him and my anemo traveler I'd be so fucked— 😅, it's really just the artifacts and stats needed that throw me off cause they're different for every character and build, there's just too much variety

So yeah, if anyone wants to help me with that I'd appreciate, I need to know how to properly build a good shield and healer, cause making enough food to feed all of Teyvat every other day ain't doing it-

How my team would in sagau: Zeph national

Had way too much fun making the first one sooo here's the second one!

Ok so: Scara is main dps, Bennett is healer, Xingqiu and Xiangling are sub dps.

Now interactions and voicelines ahead!

A/n i think you guys know who i like the most out of this team ahahha, been writing this for hours lol.

Tw: Yandere

》 Zephyrus - The Wanderer

The 10th to be bestowed a golden star.

He's cordial with them all, although quite displeased at how Bennett's bad luck happens to get them into some form of trouble, Xiangling's insistence at finding a new creature to cook with her... eccentric methods and Xingqiu's ravings about how this book series hes been reading for weeks keep ending in clifhangers. He knows that they are all blessed by the creator so he should be nice to them.

One of the few golden blessed to have a star in his constellation be illuminated in the sky.

Ah yes the boy who took my al haitham guarantee..... he is such a menace... his flight ability is quite useful though. Got his c1 trying to lose the 50/50 like bro i love you but???.

Voicelines:

》About the creator: In the arms of the divine

Hah. You want to know about my connection with her? Fine then, her grace gave me a new life through The Traveller and Lesser Lord Kusanali. Even chose the name i now use. She's one of the only gods to be so kind to me... What are you clapping about? Everyone here is a devotee of their grace, i'm no different.

》About the creator: Abandonment

Having gone through what i have, you think i would let this opportunity go to waste? If her grace willed it so that i had to suffer for her blessing, i would go through it all over again. To be abandoned by a god only to be taken in by the creator herself... Wow you've got some audacity, to even ask that question, do you want to die? My answer is simple if their grace decides to abandon me then i would make sure that she would find me worthy of her again, any way possible. She took me into her arms and moulded me into this, i am hers and hers alone.

----------------

》Bennett

Blessed by the creator,

He gets along with the other teens however keeps his distance with Zeph, he knows that his bad luck causes them to get into a lot of trouble. Keeps his distance but is always ready to help his team through everything.

Ah yes my boy, my son. I only got him during the 2.8 yoimiya re-run, yoi came home before he did.

》About the creator: Fortune of the divine

Hey! Care to join me on an adventure? Don't look so worried, ever since their grace blessed me my bad luck seems to be lessening! Sure there's the occasional lightning strike and stuff but her grace is always there to heal me up!

》About the creator: Worry

You know, i owe the creator so much, without them i probably would have gotten myself injured way more. I want to be useful to their grace. I don't want to be traded away because of my bad luck. I'll make sure their grace is safe when she decends- is that what the nuns said? Oh right!- into teyvat.

----------------

》Xiangling

One of the original blessed, was once put aside by the creator and now basks in their light.

She gets along well with Xingqiu but thats to be expected since their friends. She usually helps tend to Bennett when he gets injured, and as always Zeph keeps his distance and only interacts once the creator is included.

Ah yes my old sub dps until i got diluc... shes still good for someone i haven't really used until getting scara.

》About the creator: Food for the divine

I only need a few more ingredients and- oh what's up? This is a new dish im making based on what her grace was talking about earlier. I'll make sure that i can recreate that until their grace is satisfied.

》About the creator: Satiafaction

Being abandoned by her grace made me sad for a long while, but she gave me another chance! I'll make sure to use this chance nicely, when their grace decends i will serve them only the best. If she’s not satisfied by it then I'll keep trying harder until their grace is happy.

----------------

》Xingqiu

Blessed by the creator,

As a member of the guhua clan he upholds his values and make sure to keep them. Gets along with the other teens and is cordial with Zeph.

Got his cons for the lantern rite instead of yaoyao... he does great damage sometimes but hes there for vaporize.

》About the creator: Values of the divine

Did you know that the values of the guha clan match those of the creator? Ever since i found out about this I've been making sure that those values are ingrained into my head

》About the creator: Chivalry

To be blessed by her grace is one thing, but to embrace and live by the virtues they have set out is another. Everyday i train to make sure i uphold these ideals. To defy their values would be blasphemy. Their writing is law.

HERE COMES THE WEIRDEST INTRO POST YET

Alright. I sort of have a source and sort of don’t. If anyone knows a term that covers what I’m about to say, please let me know. I keep bouncing between Introject and Entomate.

My name is Anthon (he/him), and I am Jax’s brother.

Jax posts a lot. He’s a Genshin fictive and his source is Tartaglia. Anyone up to date on Genshin lore can probably figure out where this is going.

I have no idea what to even refer to my alter origin as, let alone whether I can be “sourced” or not… I showed up from his feelings of loneliness and missing his family, and everything about my age, appearance, and personality formed in accordance to his exomemories. My “source,” the canon Anthon in the game, is only ever mentioned and never shown or really talked about in detail. Can I actually consider him a source if the only thing I got from him is my name?

I can’t fully act like an Entomate, since I remember Teyvat, Snezhnaya, Teucer, and the rest of my family very vividly… it’s such a strange grey area to exist in, which is why I don’t normally talk to people or expose my existence in any sort of detail, despite being a cohost and one of the most active in the system.

Here’s a list of things that are not and likely will never be canon but describe me anyway:

Cryo Vision

Around 3.5 years younger than Jax/Tartaglia (Jax ageslides though, which is how I’m currently 18 while he’s 19)

Brown hair - only sibling who didn’t inherit the ginger

Grey-blue eyes

Shortest sibling

Born during winter

Most (visibly) emo sibling

Can sorta cook? Last time I tried I set a paper plate on a hot stove and nearly started a fire, but the food turned out good

Aroace

Not physically adept. At all. I can’t fight. I absolutely suck at hand-to-hand combat and never learned to use any weapons. If I have a bow, I can aim well, but it takes way too long to set up my shots, so I’m just a sniper with no talent for speed shooting. If I need to fight, I can probably use a catalyst? But I’m really just a healer

Mom friend but stupid

I hated the Fatui for keeping my brother busy with work all the time and I would prank/harass them a lot whenever I saw the grunts just wandering around town. I was arrested once for kicking one of them in the balls, but I wasn’t held long since I was just a kid at the time

I’m mildly afraid of wolves but have befriended a brown bear after it tried to adopt my younger brother (long story)

I love Dungeons and Dragons. Best thing I’ve found since being in the system. I want to learn to be a DM

I can grow crops and build traps

Rural Snezhnayans are like the hillbillies of Teyvat, so I used to do gay stuff in public just to piss people off

Despite being Aroace, I really like the song Dirty Thoughts by Chloe Adams

I hate rain. So much. It’s like the gods are pissing on you

I am 14 months younger than Tonia and 4 years older than Teucer

Tonia is actually the scariest sibling. I once saw her break every finger on a guy’s hand because he touched her waist without consent. He deserved it, but it was pretty frightening to witness

I’m the clumsiest and I get hurt pretty often because of it. I fronted at a trampoline park once and I fell down more often than I landed on my feet. Teucer is clumsy too, but it’s because he’s so energetic and he almost never gets hurt. He just jumps back up and keeps going. I, on the other hand, am incredibly uncoordinated and bruise easily

I can’t think of anything else. That’s my intro! If anyone knows the word for an introject who formed based off exomemories with almost nothing confirmed about their source, let me know. I’d appreciate it

Bye

Preplanned Funerals (Yandere!Capitano/Reader)

Questionable Overview: You,cursed to live as an elderly woman after losing a bet to Alice, decided to live your best life by watching thrills as the assistant of the most powerful man in Teyvat: Capitano. However, it seems that with you, he would gladly walk at a slower pace. (I want to write mini-fics & comics of this concept so the tag is #Capitano's So-Called Liability)

CW/Tags: Just want to point out that there are no "real" age gaps since this is a Howl's Moving Castle scenario lol, slowburn/soft yandere themes, afab!reader, and slights mentions of bodily harm. While this fic isn't "too dark", there are implications that the reader isn't mentally stable. Please prioritize your mental health first, you matter.

Next

"Young man, don't you have anything better to do?"

Capitano grunts. Beneath his helmet was a pair of jaded eyes skimming through the words on the latest letter the rightfully arrogant grandmaster sent him. It's been, admittedly, a few days since he had displayed his strength. His men have been itching for a fight since they last crossed paths with Varka— but they're not as vocal as you.

The "oldest" person in his team: (Y/n) (L/n).

Despite your "time-worn" physique matching your current strength and endurance— you were once the 11th harbinger. Capitano considered you as his most esteemed rival. This isn't just because you were both the same age and were promoted near the same timeframe: he thought that someone of your caliber was dangerous. He knew that each time you sparred, you were putting yourself on a handicap. In one match, you refused to use your dominant hand. In another, you didn't move a single leg. Sure, he won both times, but no one ever had a grasp on what the full extent of your capabilities were. Capitano felt himself growing mad at how no one except Columbina noticed what he saw.

It certainly didn't help that you lost a TCG match with that witch. And as punishment, you're cursed and demoted as nothing more than a healer "granny".

Pride is one hell of a vice. That's what Pantalone told Capitano when word got out.

Yet, I'd say ignorance is what should keep a fool's mouth shut. And those were the words that Columbina sang in reply.

If there's one thing Columbina and Capitano were both certain of: that exchange you and Alice had was not a bet, but a plan.

"…. What game are you playing at this hour?" Capitano held back a sigh. He tapped the lamp on the table, further signifying that it was late and the sun wasn't up.

"I think the better question is what games you SHOULD be playing at this hour," you coughed. Do you take pleasure in pretending to be a wrinkly damsel? "The night is young, child! And you're out here doin' what? Poems? Hand it to me, now. I'll write the response for you, dearie."

"Will you now…?" Capitano chuckled softly. His voice was low, almost rumbly. You notice how his shoulders vibrate whenever he laughs at something you say. Most times, he carries himself as someone so heroically refined. It baffles you how much he's willing to entertain your antics.

"My successor— Tartaglia, I think his name was— has been sending you pigeons nonstop." You scoffed. Not that you could see with your poor eyesight, but Capitano's expression fell at the mention of his youngest coworker. "The child looks up to you, you see? And you keep ignorin' him. Since when were you a snob, little Captain?"

Of course, Capitano knows Tartaglia. Hard to ignore the 11th harbinger when he reminds him so much of who YOU were back in your prime. With how Ajax brandishes his weapon far more skillfully than he does with a pen or another person’s hand, even La Signora analyzed that he had lost his sense of domestic bliss. Just like you.

Capitano is a kind man; he doesn't look down on Tartaglia. But he still can't bring himself to properly acknowledge him.

That child stole your spot, after all.

"La Ruffiana," before Capitano could finish his sentence, you whacked him with your cane.

"Granny (Y/n)!" You huffed, pointing at him with unsteady hands. He only stared at you. So used to pain, that he didn't register the physical attack you inflicted. "That's granny to you, Il Capitano! I am no madame Harbinger; I'm only your assistant. Thank you very much."

Capitano is the only person left who has yet to address you in that manner. Every harbinger, even Pulcinella, has referred to you as a senior citizen. It didn't matter to you if such honorifics stemmed from a derogatory or respectful place in their hearts. You are now a grandmother. That, to, you, was final.

That didn't matter to the Captain. To him, you will always be La Ruffiana.

To him, that "aging" curse didn't make you any less enchanting.

But fine, if this is your peculiar way of playing "house", he'll continue to indulge your wishes. Just as long as he has a say in it.

"You may have it your way, as long as you agree to not call me Little Captain in return."

"Eh…" You looked away, puffing your cheeks.

He finished whatever he was writing and began folding the paper. "Do you not consider that an equivalent exchange? You and I were born, raised, and strengthened by the same soil. It's challenging to hear a companion who has been on this land nearly the same time as I have to call me… Little Captain."

"Fine."

He stopped himself before he could visibly perk up.

You crossed your arms. "Continue to call me La Ruffiana as you see fit. You'd probably get strange looks on your way, so don't say I didn't warn ya."

Capitano is used to having all eyes on him, such a dull warning barely reaches his ears. Still, he let out an agreeing sound and handed you his letter.

"Mika is standing idle by the tallest Linden tree."

You bowed. "I shall be off then, my Lord."

The Captain didn't say another word as he watched you leave. When you had gone out to deliver his message (he trusted you with the task only because he has faith that Mika can't harm you), he visibly relaxed in his chair.

He still can't bring himself to ask you that question.

It's been two years, but no such luck.

What was the gamble you made with the Hexenzirkel? What were you willing to give up? And was it a gamble… or a strategy?

Capitano took off his helmet and caressed his battle-scarred temple. His blue flame eyes stared brightly at the floor, giving it a scrutinizing glare as though the tent had wronged him somehow.

If it was the latter… What would you even gain from physically aging yourself? Even worse:

Why do act far more joyous than you had before?

Former peers look down on you— Pierro has replaced you with a child— members who don't know any better will take any opportunity to let out some steam and berate you—

But why?

Why do you look so much happier?

And why do you take far more riskier moves?

"Death wish…" Capitano muttered.

Do you have a death wish?

"Lord Harbinger, permission to report, sir." A familiar voice called out.

He wistfully wears his helmet back on. "Enter and proceed."

One of his people, Elena, carefully did as she was commanded. It's applaudable how, despite his strength, his people look at him with more respect than fear. Elena stared at him firmly.

In that sliver of a moment, Capitano can't help but recall the time you ranted about how your men feared you. How you wanted someone within their ranks to chat with. Were those wishes ever granted?

"Master Columbina has dropped by," she started. "Sir Stanislav believes that she wishes to see you before you officially embark on Natlan."

"And what has Columbina stated?"

What did she say? Capitano knows her intentions are so easily misunderstood by others despite being a rather frank speaker.

Elena coughed. "Well, she said she wanted to… drink tea… with granny (Y/n) for a bit, but Sir Stanislav thinks that's likely a code that she wants to see—"

Capitano stood up. No. She's just here to see you.

Why do his people believe you're not as— if not, more— important than he is?

When both your lives are at risk, it is your life that's worth saving, not his.

How hard of a concept is that to grasp?

"Lead her here; I'll fetch La Ruffiana."

Elena opened her mouth as if to protest that you were no longer a harbinger, before shutting it.

She knew better than to regard you so lowly.

She's seen the way Capitano broke her coworker's ankles and called it an act of "discipline."

If the Captain says you're La Ruffiana, then all they can do to keep their body in one piece is to blindly agree.

Capitano's men do respect him, that's noticeably true.

But they can never get rid of that quiet fear.

"Understood."

"Ah, Lady Columbina, how lovely to see you," you chirped as you slowly took a seat. Columbina tilted her head, eyeing the act closely as though you were performing a stunt. "I haven't seen you in two years! You appear as lovely as ever."

Columbina made a steepling hand gesture, staring at you with an eerie close-lipped smile. The Damselette caught you at the perfect time, you just had a wholesome conversation with Mika before this. She's happy when you're happy.

"(Y/n), the same sentiment applies to you. I'd say you look even lovelier now! Not melancholic as last time— I wonder why Pantalone would ever lie to me about that? He said you looked dreadful, as though you're wasting away."

You are… from an outsider's perspective.

But despite the polite angelic lady's inability to read the room on most occasions, she and the Captain share a rather similar intuition. The body may be fragile, but your spirit has been hardened. The other harbingers couldn't understand your "predicament", but Columbina sees the soul— not the vessel.

She turned to look at Capitano, tilting her head. "Must be your doing, yes? Are you courting her?"

Capitano immediately sputtered out a surprised cough while you made a bellowing wheeze.

"N-No, that is not the case." Capitano made a near-strangled reply. Thankfully, Columbina was far more preoccupied with thanking Elena for the tea rather than pointing out his embarrassing display. "She has simply been enjoying work as of late."

You grinned. "Too true! The kids have been cutting me slack. Y'know what they say, old age and treachery will always overcome youth and exuberance."

Columbina sipped her tea. "Isn't that quote often attributed in a negative light?"

"I only said I've been having fun. I said nothing about a philanthropic good time." You shrugged. "Retirement has never felt so… enjoyable."

For a while, no one spoke. Columbina intensely watched your face, as though ingraining your elderly euphoric bliss into her core memories. If there was someone in Teyvat who could crack a shot at understanding why you've turned out like this, Capitano trust that it would be her. However, instead of prodding further, Columbina gingerly set her cup aside and stood up.

"Leaving?" Capitano asked. "Allow me to escort you out."

"Ever the virtuous captain," Columbina giggled. "But no, I'm merely trying to materialize granny (Y/n)'s gift."

Even Columbina calls you granny. You silently applauded her. When will your old pal do the same?

"Hmm…" Capitano stiffened. His voice all but said he was hesitant if he should allow such a thing to happen. Columbina isn't the most sensible person in the harbingers, and he vaguely recalls receiving severed limbs from her in celebration of his big promotion. She has good intentions, but Celestia knows that her execution is never for the faint of heart. "… Is there a special occasion?"

Columbina gasped, her hand flying immediately to cover her mouth.

If her eyes were wide open, he would see how much her mind swirled with sentiments such as "You did not just say that!"

He turned to look at you. Despite feeling his gaze, you continued to stare at Columbina, silently beckoning her to continue. She cleared her throat, fishing something out of her pockets before approaching you.

"Happy birthday, Granny," her smile was weak this time. "For here is my gift: all your Funeral Preplanning Services have been paid in advance. May this blessing grace your heart with abundant delight."

"Cancel it."

"My gift, not yours."

"(Y/n)…" Capitano pinched the bridge of his nose. "It is necessary for you to rescind this gift. Despite her commendable intentions, it is evident that she may not fully grasp that this particular gift is not requisite for you."

With a cane in hand, you walked side by side with Capitano through Natlan's empty open arena. He has been summoned to meet Mavuika. Though you know little of what that will entail, your employer requires your presence, and who are you to miss out on such a fiery scene?

"At the time being," you chided happily. "It may not be requisite at the time being, but it is a comforting gift. Better than someone who forgot my birthday."

He knew you had no malice in that comment, but it still bruised his conscience.

"(Y/n)."

"Capitano," you grumbled, refusing to let go of your playful demeanor. "Don't tell me… Are you jealous of my gift? Do you want my funeral prepaid services for yourself?"

Many see Capitano as a man of few words, but you're not most fatuus. You have a unique skill of eliciting phrases out of him that make you both appear like close friends.

Though, in this instance? You might've pushed too far.

He scoffed and stopped walking. You followed suit.

"Those under my command shall not die," he breathed in. "I have sworn an oath."

You pressed your lips together. "You can't defy age, Little Captain."

"Don't call me that."

You blinked.

"You're right. My apologies, Lord Capitano."

Capitano resumed his walk. “Should I allow your funeral to happen, my conscience would disquietly follow my grave.”

"Hopefully mine shall preceed it," you humored him. "The Tsaritsa has much use for your talents."

"Hmm."

He doesn't agree.

A tall tanned man approached. From where you stood, only a fraction of his visage could be seen. His large cyan cape snaked around him as though you were unworthy of stealing a glance.

Capitano, thankfully, recognized him. "Ororon."

The man spoke a confident greeting in his native tongue before turning to you. As it turns out, Ororon had seafoam eyes and dark hair. Unfortunately, good eyesight evades you, and distinguishing the white segment protruding in his hair as either feather adornments or feline ears cannot be done by mere squinting.

Your "employer" observed you silently.

… I should buy (Y/n) some prescription glasses as a late birthday gift.  

Ororon pointed at you. "I'm afraid your grandmother cannot enter further inside the main building of the Tournament Arena. There's an Access Restrictions Policy for Vulnerable Individuals in order."

What weary negligence forced their hand to enact this?

You pondered over it some more, but knowing how Natlan IS the nation of "War"— it no longer came as a surprise. No doubt, if no curse was not active, you'd breeze an entrance scot-free. Which, quite frankly, is a bother for you.

While you stressed over the policy, Capitano tried dispelling the rumors with a heavy heart.

"She's not my—"

Not that you'd simply pass off the perks of being THE Capitano's grandmother.

"Oh, that's quite alright, dearie," you waved your hand dismissively. "C-Can I wait by the benches? M-My back is…"

Capitano recoiled slightly, more than alarmed. "Let me escort you—"

"No need!" You grinned, still feigning pain. "Go! The archon might grow impatient. I shall stay here."

"Lord Capitano," Ororon urged.

The Captain paused, before begrudgingly following both your unspoken bits of advice. You waved Capitano in reassurance when he gave a final glance. When he and Ororon disappeared, you lifted your cane, slapping it against your palm.

The cane is no different from men who wear non-prescription glasses to look "harmless."

You laughed at yourself. "I'd be one funny karma if I start having backpains now."

"Coo coo!!!"

A Snezhnayan pigeon carrying a small parcel loomed above you. Its blue-gray feathers soared proudly in such a foreign place. Your lip twitched slightly, amused that Tartaglia in his recuperating state still itched for a proper introduction.

As the pigeon perched on your shoulder, you opened the letter.

Dear Miss (L/n),

To commemorate your birth, I am pleased to share with you a major discovery made by my Omega construct before his shutdown that will help with the severe aging issue you have been suffering from. He has created a pharmacological intervention in the shape of pills that are intended to treat your "curse" from the inside out.

After conducting a great deal of study and testing— including trials involving twenty (20) human subjects— he has found that reducing the symptoms has an 80.3% success rate. He wanted to repay you for all that you did for him during the Eleazar treatment initiative, which is what motivated the endeavor. I believe that your quality of life will significantly improve as a result of this breakthrough. Do not hinder The Captain's progress by being a liability. I implore you to ingest the two pills provided, one at 21:00 tonight and 5:00 the following day.

Warm regards,

Il Dottore

THUD!!!

With two quick successive motions, you dropped the pills and crushed them with your cane.

Your dreary half-lidded eyes stared down with malicious delight as your cane powdered the pills like mortar and pestle. How's this for a reply, Zandik? Like hell I'd wake up at 5 am for a man.

"Oh no! Are you alright, granny?! You dropped your pills!"

Mualani skated towards you with her aquatic familiar and near-cradled you in her panic. Meztili folks such as her display such great hospitality. You'd be remiss to crush her genuine kindness with your cane as well.

"D-Dearie, I'm afraid my eyes are not quite what they were used to…" You technically weren't lying. She pouted sympathetically as you patted her with your wrinkly hand. "Can you lead me to the benches? I… need some rest…"

"Of course, of course! P-Please, follow me!"

You smiled.

The new knave was right. Misconceptions aides harbingers. Back then, it brought you isolation from subordinates— disenchanting you from every advantage the tall position brings. No amount of excessive work hours dulled the emptiness you had. Recalling the times you relied on your position to dine and shop with trembling yes-mens makes you feel ill and uncomfortably pathetic.

Doctor, why should I drop this lie?

Doctor, why should I take those pills when this form makes me loved?

"Granny…?

You snapped out of your trance, taking Mualani's hand.

"Apologies, please take good care of me."

Doctor, why would I ever stop cursing myself when it's the only way to show people care?
