Hey dear! I'm so sorry that it took me so awfully long to finish this but I couldn't come up with a plot that did your idea justice for quite a while. This is honestly such an adorable request (thank you for sharing it with me! <3) and I wanted to write something wholesome and cute for this, so I really hope I managed to pull that off. I hope you like what I came up with. Have a good day/night and take care. <3

Family Ties – Zhongli x gn!reader (ft. Qiqi)

The sound of chirping birds and cheerful voices filled the air. It was a beautiful day in Liyue Harbor, the balmy breeze making the sun’s heat more bearable for the little girl by your side. She was resting on a bench beneath the parasol you had exclusively bought for her, making sure that she could spend some time outside even on sunnier days without getting uncomfortable too quickly. At first, she had been reluctant about the whole idea but as of recently, she often grabbed your hand and dragged you into the tiny backyard of your residence to either watch the finches that gathered around the bird bath you had set up or simply to relax after collecting herbs for Bubu Pharmacy.

You couldn’t remember when exactly you had started to care so much about her. In the beginning, she had been nothing more than casual acquaintance, one of Baizhu’s employees that you only saw from time to time when you visited the pharmacy to buy herbs and medicine. Most of the time, Qiqi couldn’t even remember you when you returned a few weeks later to stock up on herbs – until one day, she greeted you with an unusually cheerful “Hello, (Y/N)”.

You wondered if maybe that had been the turning point in your relationship. Later on, when you had asked her about remembering your name, she had told you about her notebook and showed you the pages she had filled with her messy handwriting. Pages filled with notes about you and your kindness and how you smiled at her every time you visited Bubu Pharmacy. She wanted to remember you, and up to this day, she still made sure to take notes about everything you did together because she never wanted to forget any second she spent with you.

“Look,” Qiqi said, her voice snapping you out of your thoughts. She was pointing at the bird bath where a bunch of different birds had gathered, refreshing themselves in the cool water. “The birds are back.”

“Seems like they really enjoy themselves,” you said. “Do you want to get a closer look at them? You just need to be careful not to startle them or else they’ll fly away.”

Qiqi nodded, already jumping to her feet and slowly making her way towards the bird bath. You watched as she cocked her head to the side, a curious expression in her eyes as she examined the chirping birds.

You couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Qiqi was such a pure and gentle soul, and you had really taken her to your heart over the past few months, no matter how often others had told you not to get too attached to the girl.

“Is it weird that I treat her as if she were my daughter?” you asked, contorting your face when you realized how stupid your question sounded. Zhongli who was sitting right beside you, absent-mindedly flipping through a book while he enjoyed the mild summer evening, turned his head to look at you. A gentle expression formed in his eyes when he met your concerned gaze. “No,” he replied quietly and reached out to interlace his fingers with yours. He let his eyes wander, a soft smile flashing over his face as he watched Qiqi for a moment. She was still looking at the birds, her hand stretched out, hoping that one of the tiny birds would land in her palm, just as she had seen it in one of the books you had gifted her recently.

“No,” he repeated. “It’s not weird at all. In fact, I think it’s wonderful that you give her the opportunity to have a family. She has experienced horrible things in the past and even though she can’t remember most of it, it has made a lasting impression her. It’s good that she’s surrounded by people who truly care about her.”

You leaned in and rested your head on his shoulder, indulging in the peaceful feeling that always welled up in you when he was near. He kissed the top of your head. “Being a family isn’t only about blood relations,” he mused. “It’s about trust and love, and you decided to give Qiqi a home, to give her your love and that is what makes her a part of our family.”

He was right. Qiqi was a part of your family. And you would do anything in your power to protect her and her happiness, no matter what happened.

My love, my life – Zhongli x gn!reader

It was rare that you woke up before Zhongli. He was an early bird, usually getting up at the break of dawn or even earlier sometimes, but today, he was still sound asleep right next to you. In the soft light of the morning sun, his pale skin had a golden shimmer to it, a perfect match for the amber colored tips of his soft, silky hair that framed his face like a halo. He was always stunning but right now, his features relaxed, his rosy lips slightly parted, he was even more beautiful. So beautiful that it almost took your breath away, even though you had seen him like this countless times already.

You propped yourself up on your elbow to get a better look at him. His lips were curled into a barely noticeable smile, and you couldn’t help but let out a dreamy sigh at the sight.

Waking up next to someone like Zhongli was an honor and a privilege you wouldn’t want to trade for anything in this world.

You reached out and gently tugged a strand of hair behind his ear. His skin felt incredibly soft under your fingertips as you softly traced the outlines of his face, smiling at the way his nose scrunched up in the most adorable way when you brushed your knuckles against his cheek, caressing his skin until he suddenly grabbed your wrist and brought his hand to his lips. “Good morning,” he mumbled, his voice low and husky, eventually sending a shiver down your spine.

“Morning.”

“You’re awake early today, my love,” he said and squeezed your hand. “Is everything alright?”

You shifted closer to him to press your lips to his cheek. “Don’t worry about me,” you said. “I couldn’t sleep anymore but it’s really not a big deal. I feel well rested.”

Zhongli smiled, and you felt your heart skip a beat at the way his eyes lit up. How could someone be so incredibly beautiful at this time of the day? You were sure that you looked like an absolute mess while he was still the most handsome person you had ever seen, even after just waking up a few minutes ago. He looked astonishingly put together, his golden colored eyes as bright and awake as always. There was not a hint of tiredness in his expression. Even his cheek was completely smooth, free from those awkward sleep lines you often struggled with in the morning. His hair fell perfectly over his shoulder as he let go of your hand and wrapped his arm around your waist to pull you closer to him.

You buried your face in the crook of his neck, brushing your lips over his skin in a barely there kiss and indulging in the warmth of his body and the familiar scent of incense and sandalwood that never failed to make you feel at ease completely.

Zhongli kissed the top of your head. “You look beautiful today.”

You snorted quietly. He often said that in the morning and while a part of you always melted on the spot when he complimented you in his genuine, earnest way, you couldn’t help but think that you surely looked like a dead rat compared to him.

“Sure,” you mumbled, your voice muffled by the soft fabric of his sleepwear. He chuckled softly. “I mean it. The morning sun gives your hair such a pretty shine, I wish you could see it.”

“Stop,” you said, a warm, fuzzy feeling spreading through your entire body at his words. “You’re embarrassing me.”

“I’m only telling the truth,” Zhongli insisted, the tone of his voice so soft that it made your heart flutter. Sometimes, especially in moments like this, you loved him so much that it almost hurt you physically.

He placed a hand under your chin, gently tilting your head up, so that you had to look at him. His fingers trailed to the back of your neck, guiding you towards him, and then, he brought your lips together in a sweet, tender kiss. Your eyes fluttered closed and you reached up to weave your hand into his hair, pulling him closer to you. His lips were so soft against yours, his hand on your neck so warm and familiar, and you found yourself melting into his touch. Whenever Zhongli kissed you, you felt like the most loved person in all of Teyvat.

When he pulled away, you felt slightly dizzy – but in a good way. “I love you.”

“I love you more,” Zhongli replied, willingly joining in the game you had started a few months ago. You smiled. “I love you the most,” you said and leaned in. “Kiss me again. Please.”

“As you wish, my love.”

After a point, Zhongli had gotten used to having his dronings tuned out or dismissed. He’s always been quite the yapper, after all.

It hadn’t taken him long to realize most people were seldom in the mood for his endless chatter, a stream that would flow tirelessly unless something else sprouted up during the conversation and they were able to excuse themselves. Well, figures—he has far more knowledge about most things than the average person, and his repertoire would often encompass things people had little interest in.

But you’re here now, and you’re always eager to listen to him speak, no matter how drab or mundane the topic. Zhongli found he could speak to you about anything and everything under the sun and you would sit there, a smile on your face and a sparkle in your eyes as you clung to each word that left his lips.

Really, it’s pleased him so much. It’s truly endearing just how willing you are to sit and listen to him talk about anything ranging from the history of the tea leaves in Chenyu Vale to how the animal kingdom has come to be classified.

One day, after he’s finished telling you a story about the origins of platinum jewellery, he finally says, “You are always an enthusiastic listener to my tales. Truly commendable, dearest, that you do not tire of me.”

“Oh, I could never tire of you,” you say earnestly, supplementing it with a dreamy sigh as you lean against him. “You could tell me a story about dust bunnies and I’d laud it as the most interesting thing ever.”

He chuckles, nuzzling you affectionately. “I am glad my ramblings please you so.”

“I could listen to you talk forever,” you sigh happily. “You’re just so cute when you talk about the things you’re passionate about!”

“Only you perceive me as such.” He pats your head, a pleasant warming sensation abuzz in his heart.

“But I’m being honest. I just really like listening to your voice. It’s soothing and puts me at ease.” You gaze up at him lovingly. “So do tell me about dust bunnies, won’t you? I’m serious!”

Ah, how long has it been since someone unironically asked him to meander with his words? This is but one of the reasons he loves you. With a little laugh, Zhongli launches into a tale about dust bunnies as requested—because he does indeed have a story for everything—and internally coos as you latch onto every word keenly with nods and wide eyes.

I'm going to get you pregnant! text prank

Zhongli x fem!reader

a/n not a modern au, but imagine if people in Teyvat had phones, and you loovve using the opportunity to start weird conversations? a bit nsfw?

[woyingyuan]

Oh no, Miss Yuheng! You sound so…tired. Have the years of overworking finally caught up with you?

Well, I guess it's been five whole years since you took more responsibilities after the Archon passing, so no wonder. Hope Ganyu and the others take better care of you 💔

I'm aware of the situation with the Keqing VA's, but the contrast between the styles has led my mind to come up with hdcs.

Sunkissed--or Freckles are the Sun's way of loving you

Zhongli x freckly!reader

𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲 fluff, reader struggles with self-acceptance at first but then Zhongli happens a/n the idea came to me when the doctor lady dropped the line and I felt extremely validated lately. needless to say, this is self-inspired and over the years I started to wear my freckles with pride

For as long as you can remember, your skin was like that. Dotted with spots from head to toe, contrasting against your pale complexion.

And you always remembered that you had despised them, questioning what was wrong with you and feeling ashamed of how they made you look. Why did you have to be so ugly?

You've tried everything to clean your face. You began with traditional remedies like your mum's advice to rub ice-cubed parsley to your freckles to lighten their hue. When that didn't work, you switched to creams and ointments promising to diminish their appearance but yielding fleeting results.

You are just too photosensitive. Why were you so dirty?

So you decide to avoid the sun at all costs. To escape the relentless curse, you begin shutting yourself in your room for days during the radiant summer months. You yank the curtains, aangrely blocking out any rays from entering your room. It felt almost like the sun was mocking you and you started to hate it, accusing it of being responsible for your skin's imperfections.

Some people would try to comfort you by saying that "Freckles are the Sun's way of loving you," but you're too stubborn and wounded to feel relief in the words, dismissing them altogether.

"Well, the feeling is not mutual, then!" You cry out in defiance.

‧₊˚✧ ✩˚｡⋆ ·

But the universe has its ways of making fun of you, doesn't it?

‧₊˚✧ ✩˚｡⋆ ·

When your life brings you to Liyue Harbour, you find yourself crossing paths with Mr Zhongli.

Something about him immediately feels oddly familiar, like an old friend you haven't seen in ages or something you knew so well yet couldn't recall what has taken the shape of a person. Almost as if your heart was saying, "ah, here you are, golden star; I've been looking for you."

You continue to stay on business in Liyue over the course of many weeks; your paths continue to cross. Sometimes by chance, other times by the urge to share one more conversation to find out what this feeling was over tea at the third-round knockout. Zhongli's stories about everything under the sun captivate you just as much as his warm, golden gaze whenever he pauses to watch your reaction closely.

It's during one quiet moment that you decide to confide your curse in a moment of vulnerability.

"You know, Mr Zhongli," you begin softly, fiddling with the hem of your sleeve, "I've always felt like people might shun me over because of my differences... This dirt, I mean." You move your hand to gesture, your voice cracking. "It makes me stand out so much, doesn't it? Sometimes it feels like my personal curse; I've spent so much time trying and wishing it would go away. But it's like I'm trapped in my own skin, and I can't escape it."

Zhongli's gaze lingers on you, caught in surprise for a moment before a quiet smile returns to his face. "Is that so? Your freckles are not a curse, y/n. Perhaps they are simply a testament to the sun's gentle touch—an honour, if you will, that some folk would even envy rather than disdain."

His adoring comment immediately pierces your chest, making you wonder if he is merely being polite or if he truly sees beauty where you only saw flaws.

‧₊˚✧ ✩˚｡⋆ ·

Later, when you hear that phrase again, "Freckles are a sign that the Sun loves you," you pause. Something has shifted inside you, and suddenly, the notion feels less irritating and even...comforting.

"Y/N, are you coming?" Zhongli calls out to you and you.

"Sorry, yes, right behind you!" apologise for the moment of reflection, running up behind your companion.

The midday sunrays hits and warm your cheeks, and in responce you lift your face to embrace their touch, relaxing your shoulders. Quietly, the badge of honour falls onto your chest, and a smile appears on your lips as you walk beside him.

How could you not take pride in bearing the signs now? — even if it was just a silly notion. And how could you have ever thought otherwise?

◈ Ode to Geo users — pt. 1

a\n completely self-indulging myself in my love for the geo characters. what makes the geo allogenes so awesome? personal take, going one-by-one. maybe later I can give some love to each one!

Starting with 【诺艾尔】 Noelle

Ever since I started playing this game, I have instantly fallen in love with the Geo. Much like the rock, they seem conventional, predictable, and maybe even boring, so they can be easily dismissed. But I see there is more to it. Over time, I’ve even noticed that I share traits with these characters, which has also led me to learn more about myself. Hence, why I adore them so. How they all share stubborn devotion to their cause or organisation, yet don't think of themselves as special or noteworthy, finding comfort in simply being helpful and content with performing their role and benefiting either the organisation or ideal.

A young girl wearing armour whom we meet at the very beginning of the game. She immediately strikes as the over-the-top maiden who takes her self-chosen task to the extreme, and hence shocks us when we meet her.

In truth, Noelle is a wholesome believer in the greater good who has no ulterior motives whatsoever. A great example of that is a time when Snezhnayan merchant comes to town with ill intention and Noelle provides him with her signature well-dedicated care. She even learns information about his home cuisine and prepares it. In the end, the merchant fellow escapes utterly terrified and convinced that Noelle had him figured out and knows about his plans. That left the girl very upset, overanalysing her actions, seeking what part of the service went wrong.

Noelle is a native of Mondstadt, nurtured by legends about the Knights of Favonius, and I imagine that she was also particularly inspired by their founder, Vanessa. It could help explain her later desire to receive an Anemo Vision—a wish that reflects a shared trait she also has with Jean. However, she has failed the selection test to fulfil her dream at least seven times. I relate so well to the feelings of inadequacy and looming fear that your effort counts for nothing, having been rejected by universities many times before. Before finding a mentor figure in Jean.

Even if officially, a position of a maid doesn't exist in the Knights of Favonius ranks, Jean granted her as a form of recognition.

Her devotion makes her want to be everywhere at once, often disregarding her own well-being. Funnily enough, it creates a rather comical situation where it is Jean has to invent safe jobs to drive away Noelle's passion since she tends to get carried away.

Noelle's highlights:

holds herself to a high standard

hopeless optimist who believes in good in people to the point of naivety

enjoys a life of helping people

lives by a belief in making sure to do things "as they should be"

keeps trying failure after failure

gentle and reliable aura

everywhere at once

stubborn and careless of her own well-being

I absolutely adore Noelle. She embodies the joy of dedication and devotion to take care of everyone and everything—their well-being, their belongings, to make sure everyone is happy and healthy. To serve is her greatest joy.

After all, be it as a maid or a knight "Noelle is glad to be of aid"

a personal hc for her: after 3 years since meeting the traveller (about the time of when the poetry exchange event takes place), and with the help of Jean, she eventually passes the knight's exam and introduces herself a knight of Favonious!

Zhongli Birthday Questionnaire

I am new to this, and I never used to post before, but felt compelled to give this a go

1. What left the deepest impression on you when you first met him? Was it how he looks, talks, or something else?

Okay, basically, everything? The details of his clothes, his voice, and the topics he talked about—it left a lasting impression on me. By the end of the Jade Merchant part in the Archon Quest, I was already smitten.  I remember waiting to meet him in-game actually. I saw someone's screenshot of the character and immediately thought, 'oh, he's going to be my favourite' which was quite an innocent thought at the time because I never anticipated becoming a simp to a fictional character for the first time in my whole life and now it's been five years of that

2. What do you like most about Zhongli as a character?

That's a tough one!! But what I love the most is his core values and ideas; like his fascination with nature and people. Being a bigass dreamer my whole life and pursuing astrophysics irl, I was used to being usually the one to talk weirdly specific about stuff. I see some of the same energy coming from him, but he's much more stable and less anxious than me I love him

3. What is your favorite Zhongli voice line, and why do you like it?

I love his idle osmanthus wine—yes, that very line. Despite it being somewhat annoying in the English version, to me it highlights Zhongli's character trait of frequently citing ancient poems to express the most specific emotions. Initially, I found this mannerism to be strange and overly complex, especially since I had nonexistent knowledge of the Chinese language and culture. But, I’m beginning to understand it much better now.

You can come back to the past, but there's no one there? Ah. I love it. Both existential and melancholic, yet such a delicate and wonderful emotion.

4. Does Zhongli resonate with something in real life for you? Has he managed to influence your life in some way?

Absolutely! As I mentioned, I have a deep romantic fascination with the world and all the little details in between. Now, whenever I learn a new concept in math or visit a museum or gallery to explore a new exhibition, I can't help but imagine how I would explain it to him in my mind. I find myself gushing about how amazing and real human existence is and feel validated and grounded, knowing there's nothing wrong with me. Also, my first love in this lifetime was geology, lol. Meeting Zhongli felt like reigniting a forgotten memory.

5. What part of Zhongli's design do you love the most? Do you have a favorite outfit?

Zhongli looks stunning in everything, period. But I particularly love his hairstyle, although I'm not sure if that counts? Signature of Teyvat chic: long strands of hair paired with a shorter cut. And the colour of his dark hair?  Sigh, I'm in love with this colour.

6. Zhongli has a lot of lore. What’s your favorite story/feat that he's ever done?

I honestly can't decide. There is undoubtedly a lot to him being the oldest character in the game, but most of what we know comes from the Archon War period. While there are plenty of little stories that show his love for humanity, sacrifices, and friendships, I mostly feel disheartened.

So, I'm going to choose something more light-hearted and pure: his obsession with cubes 🟧 I adore how much joy he derives from them; it’s really cute, and I love cubes as well!

7. If you could give Zhongli a birthday present, what would it be?

Wool scarf! Because his birthday falls in the middle of winter, it only feels right to give him with something warm and fluffy. I have a cream tartan scarf in mind.

8. If Zhongli visited you for a day, where would you take him?

This questionnaire is hard, I swear. Just one day? Hmm... I think I would like to climb a mountain and set up camp there to watch the city at night and drink tea while having a conversation.

9. If you could talk to Zhongli, what’s one thing you’d want to ask him?

I wanted to know if he feels happy now. I just want to hear it from him. And I would also like to hear whether he feels lonely?

Ikik, He has always been surrounded by people in his life, but I can't help but wonder how lonely it must be to be the object of respect and admiration for so long

10. Which of Zhongli’s attacks do you like using the most? How do you prefer to use him in a team? What build do you have him on?

Obviously, this is his shield. The strongest in the game, the skill that carried me and many other players through the game, and the one for which I've collected his C6. I have a hybrid build with a Homa. Classy
