Happy Birthday to my husband 💐💐

[witch-hazels-musings]

I love your Albedo fanfics!! I feel like a lot of people mis-characterize him in fanfiction but your characterization is great!!! I love going back and reading through all your works with him every few months

Aw, that's so nice of you to say! When I was first writing to him I had the honor of picking a huge albedo fans brain so that helped, plus, he's always felt really reserved to me, a little confused in the way of people but not tasks, ya know?

I can't help but imagine that he's just as sweet with his favorite person as he is with klee. And he'd *burn cities* for that little girl sooooo, ya know lol

3 years ago I RELIGIOUSLY read your albedo fanfics and you can’t understand how happy I am to find your blog again skjsndnsnkansnsn

Eyyy, welcome back - I just made a little small post with albedo in it actually! It's a few posts below this one 🫡

Lovedddd the brainrot!!! Especially Diluc and Alhaitham ❤️

Everything in my brain always starts with Diluc if I'm gonna be honest lol. And sweet Alhaitham, he's so stunted but so in love (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠), a "you did surprisingly well," is basically a confession of love !

[witch-hazels-musings]

Random brain rot --

Secretaries.

ZHONGLI teaching you how to prepare the perfect tea, the soft hum of satisfaction when he drinks it. Him brushing up against your shoulder as you look over new contracts, the overwhelming scent of him when leans in to assess your work and point out errors that only seem to show up when you realize he's hovering. Small gifts and tokens of his appreciation find their way to your desk. A crystalized flower, a book you'd been searching for, a bag of expensive looking tea you'd certainly share with him. And the games of chess. How rich and engaging, though you aren't very good, he never shames or belittles you and, when you win, the grin stretching his lips always seems far more rewarding than the king you just captured

DILUC late night meetings locked in dusk and flickering orange. Checking in on him and bringing him snacks he won't eat until you leave the room, an empty plate greeting you upon your return even though he said he wasn't hungry. Accidental brushes of fingers as you hand him documents and the way he turns his back to hide the blush on his cheeks. Draping a blanket over him when he falls asleep, legs stretched, body relaxed. Cleaning his muddy boots and keeping his secrets. Leaning forward to review something he's asked for second eyes on because he trusts you and so desperately wants to feel you close. Helps you reach the high things even though he bought you a fancy step ladder just for that purpose. You're distracting, so very distracting, but he'd never ask you to leave

CHILDE and his 'expectation' with having you go everywhere with him, and I mean everywhere. He has to travel, you're right there, he has to go to a stupid meeting, people keep staring at you in the corner but the Harbinger insisted so they can't say no, he wants something to eat, he's sliding plates of company bought food toward you until you can barely stand. And the little touches -- a hand on your back when you get close, he's only doing it so you know he's there. A rustle of your hair when you've done a good day's work. A poke at your cheeks, a tease, a chuckle when you swat him away. Sitting extra close on the couch when he has ample space to not, falling asleep on your shoulder or laying his head on your hands when you don't pay him enough attention. Man is smitten

ALBEDO and little smiles when you hand him the research papers he was looking for, the soft 'thank you' when you place the container he forgot below the concoction he's been working on all day, the subtle glances he gives you when you leave the room. The attentive explanations he gives when you seem interested in his work, the way he brings you in, tells you his thoughts, draws out his plans, gets closer and closer the longer he speaks. The way he seeks your opinion and tries your ideas, nothing is ever too outlandish. He doesn't sleep much, but he doesn't mind when you do. Oh how gentle he is when he drapes the blanket over your chest and fails to restrain himself at brushing your hair off your forehead

WRIOTHESLEY can't help but grin when you rush in with new paperwork. He used to hate it, but now he perks up at the sight of stacked papers. No matter where you go, there always seems to be a towering sentry by your side as you wander through the Fortress, their noticeable clamor a staple to your days beneath the sea. When the two of you aren't secluded, you're wandering the streets of Fontaine, meeting and observing its citizens before stopping by the local shops to which you always find yourself a new souvenir purchased for you by your doting boss. Once, you found him staring at you while you filed things away, but when you asked him about it, he said it was nothing before covering his face with his hand as the tips of his ears turned red

ALHAITHAM is so quiet, reserved, and focused that most of the time neither of you speak. The sound of graphite and rustling papers filling your ears while distant and muffled conversations flutter in beneath his office door. When you show him proposals on the tablet he looks over them with a diligent eye before asking some open ended questions to see if you came to the same conclusion. He'll smile when you do or tell you to think harder when you don't. You've never fallen behind in your work but not because you've got it all under control, it seems when one thing prioritizes another, the bumped item gets completed anyway. Ask Alhaitham about it and he'll deny deny deny, even though he knows full well his name is time stamped and sealed for record purposes. And no matter how big or small, he seems to always have time to lend you an ear

KAEYA the most hands on job you've ever had, and not just because you spend most of your days running around the knights headquarters trying to find him, it's when you do that things take their turn. His arms draped over your shoulders while you're trying to pick up the papers he scattered because 'tables are for laying, not working,' the battling of hands as he gets in your way each time you tell him exactly, and I mean exactly, where to sign. The 'oops' when you fall into his lap because you forgot standing this close to him is a workplace hazard. He just can't stop himself from slipping next to your ear and whispering against your hair while you're focused. The way you jump and shove him is your fault really. Honestly, how is he to get anything done when you're this adorable?

Thank you SO MUCH for your fics. I reread my favorites from you like every month. The imagery you use and the way you throw me into the scene is phenomenal. I can tell you put a lot of attention into every sentence you write and it adds so much to the story. Thank you for this blog and for sharing your wonderful writing with us! Stay safe and healthy!

Aw, thank you for this message 🥹

It means a lot to know how much my works makes you feel and how much you enjoy them -- I'm honored to have the opportunity to create stories to make you all happy with characters that meant a lot to me (and some still do!)

Always remember, the stories authors share here are because of the love you give them back. No matter how small the reaction, it's something we think about for weeks/months

Thank you for the love, drink water, stay warm, keep going!

[witch-hazels-musings]

Doesn't this give you harbinger!diluc vibes?

LISTEN

Yes

(also slightly lore accurate to how the end of this story is gonna be 🫣🤭)

[witch-hazels-musings]

hi queen . . . can i just pop in here to say thank you for the diluc fics? they are blessings >_< !!

Eyyy, any time my friend. Anytime 😏😏

[witch-hazels-musings]

Uhhh...

Idk whether you've seen this or not. I know you're working hard on draft 3 (though everywhere I look, I can't find the insta Fox-anon mentioned)... But I hope you might feel brighter! I found a Diluc content for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYmfYA2naR4

this was AWESOME!

What a labor of love T>T (I was worried it was going to be really sad but thankfully it wasnt lol)

[witch-hazels-musings]

I would be Diluc's best friend but I'd bully that man sooo haaard. Like I'd be so annoying whenever you came to Angel's Share. He'd have to chase me off with his sword.

Kaeya, is that you 👀👀👀

(but for real, sometimes you just wanna tease him 😏)

[witch-hazels-musings]

Hi my dear friend!! Happy valentine's day!! Also happy birthday captain beidou!! I share my birthday with her and it so funny xD im exited to see the genshin birthday cake of this year

Celebrations all around!! Happy birthday friend!!

Beidou just wanted to copy yours I think 🤭🤭

[witch-hazels-musings]

Happy Valentine's day, lovelies!

Sending love to you all (except Trump, Musk, Vance and everyone that voted for him. Thanks.)

[witch-hazels-musings]

Morning all!

I've officially started the querying process ☺️

(wish me luck, I want to vomit)

[witch-hazels-musings]

Hello lovelies.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry this world is so terrible. You didn't ask for it, you don't deserve it. Hate and ignorance is so loud right now but it isn't the majority. It isn't all powerful.

Take care of yourselves, your friends, your loved ones.

Stand up.

Speak out.

Don't let the hate take you down with it.

That's what they want.

You are so much stronger than they ever will be.

I love you.

So so much.

[witch-hazels-musings]

Hey hazel! Idk if you are gonna read this considering so many followers must have already send you msg like this but i am a childe main and have already read all of you ff related to him.... So i wanted to request you if you could.... Yk make one where childe is getting ready for a party and comes out wearing a suit and ya know looking hot and we just sit there ogling him and he... Let's say he decides to stays at home....

hello! thank you for reaching out and reading my works :D it means a lot!

I'll be honest, I don't do many requests anymore. most of my time is focused on my book or promoting it, and right now while I wait for edits to come back, I'm trying to catch up on the Harbinger series I've neglected for like ... idk almost 2 years lol

so thank you for the request, and I just want you to know it's really unlikely I'd be able to do any :(

[witch-hazels-musings]
