Aqua Regia III: My love is an animal call.

Neuvillette x fem!Reader

Word count: 2.3k

It seems both yourself and the honourable Iudex are struggling with some… ahem. Big feelings.

Authors note: i had to get wri involved, you don’t understand— no it was a necessity. Yeah— no, you get it. Don’t worryyy about ittttt :)

Neuvillette was struggling. 

Now, it wasn’t the way he was struggling before, no. 

You’d swept into his work life and cleaned up the mess he’d found himself caught in, made it safe to breathe again, made it easier. He’d never be able to put into words how eternally grateful he was for your work. You helped him retain the dutiful and serious image he’d carefully painted of himself over the years, even through this hectic and strange transition. 

No, for the first time in his life, Neuvillette felt like he was losing his grasp on his own mind. 

His capabilities within his workplace were fine, stellar as always, as everyone (you) keeps reminding him, but his inner workings and home life were in shambles. 

Strange, archaic instincts were clawing at his psyche, making him act irrationally. His bedroom was a mess, his prized belongings hoarded around his bed, walling it in so he quite literally had to leap into bed at the end of the night. 

He tried taking down the mess of knickknacks, books, fabrics and antiquities one morning after he first made what he now calls his ‘nest’. He shook his head as he carefully unstacked all of his most precious items and put them back in their proper places, only for him to return home after work and feel so restless, so incredibly distraught. 

Everything inside him screamed for the nest, so he remade it, and never took it down again. Anything to avoid that sense of restless panic that pulled at his chest. 

Neuvillette was also hungry. His appetite grew and grew, and his thirst was never quenched. He found himself pacing his house, only to give up denying his instincts and throw himself into the waters in the cover of darkness to hunt within the depths— something he hadn’t done since his youth. 

He felt like an animal, like centuries of living in the high society of Fontaine was reduced to ash in his palms, and if he didn’t satiate these urges, he would go mad and make a fool of himself in front of his citizens and colleagues. (again, you)

He thought of you a lot. He thought of you when he woke up, when he arrived to work. He thought of you throughout the day when you weren’t in his presence, and he thought of you on his way home at the end of the day. 

Even in his fever induced late night dives, he wondered what you would say if you saw him like this. Would you worry for him? You always seemed to be worrying for him. 

You were so considerate, so thoughtful and kind. He was confused, irate. He truly tried to keep himself distant from others, to remain a truly impartial and fair judicator of this nation. 

Ever since the traveler came through and wormed into his heart and homeland alike, he found himself more at ease when interacting with humans. He even found himself more at ease with the idea of perhaps having a friend or two, trustworthy people, people he genuinely believed would never be on the wrong side of Fontaines laws. 

He opened up with Wriothesley a little more, which seemed to shock the Duke at first, but he was very open to the idea of having personal chats as well as work conversations— which he had been pushing for ever since starting his career as the caretaker of the fortress. 

The traveler made it a point to speak with him whenever she and Paimon were in Fontaine, often inviting him to go on exciting little excursions when his schedule allowed it. He considered the both of them to be his friends now as well. 

The melusines were his friends, he supposed. He cared very deeply for them. 

But you? 

He knew you well enough by now to know that on surface level, you were a genuine, good natured law abiding citizen. But he’d seen people of the same standing do heinous things. 

He tossed and turned in his sheets at night, battling logic and centuries of experience with the longing in his chest that he felt for you. 

Whenever he would attempt to berate himself, tell himself that he could not get close to you, he could not risk the image of impartial justice he carefully constructed— a tumultuous and archaic anger would rumble in his chest, and he would quite literally growl at himself. 

A dark voice inside himself would berate him instead when he thought of all the ways you could betray his trust, the ways he’s seen it happen to others before— how dare you think that way of her. 

But no, he didn’t know you well enough yet to trust you completely, even though every fiber of his being was pulling him towards you. 

He was so confused. 

It took everything in him to compartmentalize during the day, get his precious work done, only for him to go home and completely lose himself to the madness. 

His chest ached, yes. But what worried him the most— more than the drive to hunt, to nest, was the aching feeling between his legs. 

He’d been around humans long enough to understand how procreation worked. It was similar with all species, though humans were the only ones he knew of that routinely copulated solely for the sake of pleasure, rather than procreating. 

He vaguely knew about dragon mating cycles, that dragons would choose a mate to further their species, carry on their legacy. But every time he tried to justify the pulsing between his legs, he would laugh at the lunacy of it all. 

He had gone half a millennia in human society without feeling any of these urges, and coming into his powers must be the reasoning for such primitive and dubious symptoms. You were just an unfortunate bystander in it all, It couldn’t have anything to do with you. 

No, certainly not. He surmised that he must be ill. There was no other explanation. His body was not used to such an influx of power, and was acting out, throwing one last hurdle his way before all was well and settled. 

Yes, that was it. 

——————

You used to hate having days off. 

It meant less money coming into your bank account, and more time to sit alone and think. Your friends were lovely distractions, but nothing really quelled the overarching feeling of dread you had at the end of the night when the lights were out and the dark consumed you. 

Now that money was no longer an issue, thanks to your cushy job as personal assistant to the ruler of the entire nation, (a job title that still astounded you,) you no longer felt guilty when meeting up with friends. 

You didn’t have to refuse their charity any longer, or invitations to expensive meals, or parties. 

You truly felt at peace with the majority of your life, and so when the Duke of Meropide invited you to the fortress for tea one evening, you happily accepted. 

You loved visiting Wriothesley. He was a lovely little breath of the air you used to breathe, of trouble and mischief. 

Certainly a close friend, confidant, and many others (Miss Navia and Charlotte) often poked at you that perhaps he would make a good husband for you as well. 

That certainly couldn’t be farther from the truth. 

Wriothesley was fun. He was witty and intelligent, strong, he fell into the role of leadership with far more grace than you had seen in anyone before him, and he made you feel very happy. 

But he was also emotionally unavailable, his entire world dedicated to his work, to the fortress and its residents. He left room for his friendships, keeping the fires there well stoked— but anything further would be a disaster waiting to happen. 

You’d thought about it once or twice, marrying him just for the sake of it, for the security, the titles and privileges that came along with it. 

These were weak moments, when you’d been at your lowest, finding no worth or value in yourself. These were selfish thoughts, unfair to your friend and yourself. Selfish because you knew he would say yes, if only to make your troubles disappear. 

Wriothesley was a great friend. You wished to stay that way for as long as he’d allow it. 

He seemed quite content sitting on the front of his desk while you sat in front of him, sipping an absolutely divine tea while listening to his favourite classical record. 

You still found it so amusing after all these years that he retained such a dark and intimidating outward appearance and still listened to the posh classical music he grew up on. He said it was something about reclaiming a part of him that he didn’t want his parents to own. He had a lot of parts to him that he reclaimed for himself. 

“This is beautiful, remind me what it’s called again?” 

He sat his tea cup down, eyes closed as he absorbed the music with you. “L’Amour Récompensé mais inconnu III, one of my all time favourites.” 

“It’s so calming, are the others of its title the same way?” You asked, placing your teacup next to his on the desk. 

“The record in total is four songs. It’s a love story, and this is the track that symbolizes the moment the lovers realize their feelings for each other. It’s less sorrowful than the first two, a bit more light than the last.” He says, looking across the room thoughtfully. “It’s happier, more hopeful than the others. It almost makes me understand what it might be like to be in love.” 

You knew what he meant, though you tried to push the idea away with each passing day. You could not have feelings like these, it was completely unacceptable. 

Wriothesley must have noticed your breathy sigh, your face scrunching up as it grew heated, and he quirked a brow at you. 

“Nothing-“ you stammered, pushing yourself up from the chair and pacing a few steps away from him. “It’s nothing! Don’t worry about it.” 

“You do seem a bit lighter these days,” he says, that telltale smirk spreading across his face, teasing you. “Don’t tell me someone’s finally caught your attention.” 

“What do you mean, finally?” You spun to face him, red faced and projecting your embarrassment into a raised voice. “I-I’ve had plenty of men interested in me!” 

“Ah, but that’s not what I said, is it?” He rose from the desk, walking towards you in half the steps you took to get to the same spot in the middle of his office. “I asked if someone caught your attention. Plenty of losers have thrown themselves at you over the years to no avail. But I’ve never seen you so flustered.”

His presence, while physically looming over you, was rather comforting. You felt safe within this office, in his counsel. 

“I’m… going through some mixed feelings…” you admitted. 

“Mixed?” He inquired. 

“I… I am attracted to someone I really shouldn’t be, and I loathe myself for it but I can’t seem to bring myself to stop thinking about them.” 

“Oh… certainly a sticky situation you’ve got yourself in, kiddo.” His words were light, but genuine. 

A knock at the door echoed from the spiral staircase beneath you, and he yelled down for whoever was knocking to enter. Steady footsteps sounded from the stairwell and you frowned, a little perturbed that you were finally about to vent to someone, only for it to be interrupted. 

In a kind gesture, he ran his hand soothingly down your upper arm a couple times, a gesture he repeated often, something he did when he knew hugging you would be a bit too much, or when others were around. 

His hand rested on you as he lowered his voice. “We can talk about it more later, okay? I don’t want you to—“

In a flash of white and blue, Wriothesley’s arm was ripped away from you, and he staggered back a few steps as his assailant held his hand up and away from you with firm grip to the wrist. 

You blinked, and Neuvillette was between you, holding Wriothesley’s hand and breathing heavy, if he was straining somehow. 

Wriothesley stared wide eyed and completely shocked. You were sure you looked equally as startled, because Neuvillette looked between the two of you, then at his hand gripping Wriothesley’s wrist, before his own eyes widened and he dropped his hold, stepping back and clearing his throat. 

“I am… so incredibly sorry, Wriothesley,” he said, rubbing a thumb along the palm of the hand that grabbed his friend. “I truly have no idea what just came over me then.” 

Neuvillette looked incredibly guilty, and his eyes wouldn’t meet yours as he picked up a folder that must have been dropped on the floor in the scuffle. 

“Here are the files you requested.” He said softly, setting them gently on Wriothesley’s desk. His gaze trained on the floor, so unlike him, so wounded, and you felt so confused. 

“I’ll take my leave now. again, you have my sincerest apologies, the both of you.” 

The Chief Justice nearly jogged away, a brisk pace you’d not ever seen him take before. 

“Wait!” You’d called out. “Sir! I’ll walk with you back!” But he was already gone, the door closing audibly before you even finished your sentence. 

You turned to Wriothesley, still staring at the spot Neuvillette was mere seconds ago, and gave him an apologetic look. 

“I’m sorry,” you stammered. “It seems like somethings really wrong, I need to—“ Wriothesley just nodded, blank stare, so you bolted after Neuvillette, taking two stairs at a time. 

Moments later, when Wriothesley recovered, and you’d been long gone, he sat in his chair, holding his wrist in awe. 

“Well,” he said to himself. “At least it’s reciprocated.” 

He smiled. “I just wonder when they’ll figure that little detail out for themselves.”

Since I saw that mine comic with the kings being young and Gusion being their math teacher, I've been plagued by one thought.

What nobles were the babysitters to the kings? In real life, when a king is below the age of 18 and unable to rule they have a couseler which takes care of basicly everything for them and has the role of taking care of the small king.

I think for Satan I would have to go with Paimon. To me, Paimon seems like the only Gehenna noble I would trust to raise a child. He just seems fullfiled in life, like his character arc ended and he's now a self-fulfiled devil. Plus, the way he holds Satan in the bath card comic is gold.

For Mammon it's a bit hard. First of all, we only know 3 nobles from him and I'm not sure any of them fit the bill. I would wait for this one, but if I had to choose now I would say maybe Buer. He holds a lot of secrets and he's a doctor so it makes sense that he would be the main caretaker of a sickly child. Though the only problem with this one is that he moved to Paradise Lost later.

The closest thing Leviathan had to a caretaker was Orias but... I mean, we all know what happened. If you don't, just look up the Requiemof the Survivors event.

Beelzebub and Bael are besically twins, but I think Bael was kind of put in charge of making sure that Beel doesn't combust or something. Every noble so far in Abyssos gives me 20s vibes, there's no way they're older than the king.

Lucifer was born in his 30s, he had to raise all the angels himself. Bro is the caretaker.

For Asmodeus I have this hc that Phenix was his caregiver and that's why he ended up the most affected of the bunch. We see in one of the mini comics that Phenix's lust is kind of a illness since Morax can transfer it to himself momentarly. Maybe there's some guilt from Asmodeus for unintentionally driving his suragat parent insane.

Belphegor has Gusion. Can I call this one cannon, cause it pretty much is. If stuff from likability comics and personal stories is considered canon, why not this. Plus, Bathin comes from Paradise Lost and Andrealphus was a baby when Belphegor was an adult, so that only leaves Gusion.

Kachina: Helps find Mualani for Kinich, shares her rocks with him and is good at helping out.

Kinich: Baby regressor, not trusted alone, Ajaw usually steps off when he regresses but if Mualani isn't there he'll help Kinich find her, 1-5 age range.

Xilonen: Makes littles gifts for the road, doesn't mind watching them for a little while when they need a break or the caregiver is busy.

Chaska: Just doesn't know what a regressor is.

Mavuika: Kinich's mom, cannon.

Citlali: She may be a granny but she's so little coded, never lets go of her plush when small and doesn't need a caregiver, she doesn't mind watching littles tho, 7-9 age range.

Lemme know if you disagree!! These aren't all my head cannons and I made them all in one day so lemme know what you think!!

For the 1 Like=1 Fic I Want to Write Game (the post s pinned if you want to join) and @rodhatz

Role/Situation Reversal plot for Stolitz and their deal.

Stolas got out of his marriage to Stella long ago, and rather explosively. I'm thinking that instead of just being abusive to him, Stella turned on little Via, because that is the only thing I can think of that would make Stolas completely snap. You would think that we all could cheer for him standing up for himself....but the type of snap I'm going for is not a cathartic yelling match and then telling his staff to make sure she gets out, but, rather, a knee jerk reaction he can't take back that has huge ramifications. He turns Stella to stone.

Usually nobody would care (What royal demon doesn't have the occasional "whoopsy" and kill a member of their household?), but Andrealphus and the rest of Stella's family demand justice. They have titles, influence and power of their own. Stolas ends up getting judged by a goetia court for crimes against another member of the royals. He is cast out--stripped of some of his demonic/magical powers as well as his titles if that sounds realistic, or just disowned by Paimon and disavowed by the rest of the goetia if not. Octavia is taken away from him and to be elevated to his position with Andrealphus acting as her caretaker and training her powers.

SO we have "regular guy just scraping by" Stolas who runs a fortune telling business, one that built a reputation for being always extremely accurate, completely unlike other scams--because Stolas ripped the portal spell out of the grimoire before he gave it up and can still travel to the human world. Or, well, he could until recently when Paimon went to check on Octavia's progress and found out she has no practical experience reading the stars?!? Blah blah missing grimoire spell, missing spell tracked down, Stolas's portal spell and even his memories of it are taken.

What's an owl to do?

Well, that's when Stolas sees Vox's sit-down interview with Verosika and Blitz Mayday (Yes, he took her name). The interview, more than being about Verosika's music is about personal questions.

There are attempts to talk about the rumors about Verosika's alcohol and drug abuse or the rocky state of the Mayday marriage, but Verosika insists that it's all false. Vox also tries to needle Blitz about how he used to be a performer and his career never took off (And what is he doing now? He used to be Verosika's head of security, everyone knows that, but...is he really just a househusband now? Completely irrelevant and, oh, starting to get out of shape?). Blitz deflects...mostly. There is some threats of how he'll show Vox just how out of shape he is.

Verosika and Blitz push the story of their wonderfully happy family instead. Their five adopted children, each from a different ring and each with their own talents they are discovering and pursuing. How much Blitz loves them...they both love them...and they're both totally involved of course.

Somewhere in there, an anecdote is told about how, when she was leaving for her Two World Tour, their youngest child hid Verosika's Asmodeus crystal to try and get her to stay home. Verosika didn't even notice and she felt so bad. Didn't notice? Yeah, she still keeps mostly succubi and incubi as background dancers and entourage. There's always someone else to open a portal. Plus, the Hell dates were before the human world dates so it was months before she went topside anyway.

There's more of course, but that's what sticks out to Stolas: an Asmodeus crystal that the owner just leaves lying around and won't notice missing, a legal portal to the human world to keep his business legitimate.

A heist is planned.

Stolas gets caught. Of course he gets caught. Blitz is retired, but he's still sharp and more than capable of his own home defense. Blitz rants about firing their staff because this isn't the first time they let some sick stalker who wanted to hide in the closet to surprise Verosika slip by them.

Stolas thinks on his feet, and coos that he's actually there for Blitz. He saw him on TV, so handsome, so underappreciated. Blah blah, I want you to ravish me, Blitzy.

Blitz isn't as easy of a target as Stolas was in canon, but Stolas still manages his seduction and robbery after a bit of convincing.

Blitz is also slower to notice the crystal missing than Stolas was with his grimoire in canon, but then quicker to track the thief and not interested in a deal. However, Stolas is dressed only in that slutty red robe when Blitz tracks him down, and....things sure do happen and Stolas gets away again.

Things evolve into these regular meetups where Blitz makes sure Stolas is at least taking care of the crystal, and Stolas feels the burden to keep Blitz charmed so the whole situation doesn't unravel.

[mamichigo]

Cyno has been watching the scene unfold for quite awhile now, though he's no less confused than he was five minutes ago. Alhaitham, unaware of his gaze, continues to chat with the two little kids hanging off his frame. Ah, make that three. There's a girl, smaller than the other two boys, valiantly attempting to climb up Alhaitham's leg.

"What's this word?" One of the older kids asks, peering over Alhaitham's shoulder with two little arms wrapped around his neck.

Alhaitham pauses his reading, eyes scanning back to the word the boy just pointed at.

"'Bewildering', it means confusing or difficult to understand."

"Oh, oh, I get it!" The other boy exclaims. "That's just like you! Mister, you're be...be..."

"Bewildering."

"Be will daring!"

"Hm. Your pronunciation is a little off, but your effort to break the word down to more familiar sounds is admirable," Alhaitham nods solemnly.

"Yeah, I didn't get any of that, Mister."

The two boys laugh as if Alhaitham just told them the greatest joke known to men. The little girl, clueless as to what's happening around her, breaks into a toothy grin and claps at them.

It's bizarre to watch. Alhaitham doesn't get along with most people, and Cyno never pictured him to be patient with kids. And yet, here he is: somehow, he hasn't even made a sarcastic quip this entire time.

(If Paimon saw him now, she'd surely have a few words for him.)

"What's going on here?" Cyno finally asks, curiosity winning over him.

Alhaitham doesn't seem surprised to see him.

"They were looking for Candace," he says. "I'm just a convenient substitute. Are your meetings done?"

"For the time being. We've only just started to formulate a plan on how to make the passage between the desert and the rainforest safer, but..." He sighs. "It's only the start, there's still a lot to be done. Oh, and Candace stayed behind to talk to Dehya. I'm afraid she'll be awhile."

The children (who had been not-so-subtly paying attention to their conversation) all deflate in unison. Alhaitham raises his eyebrows at the boys.

"You heard the General Mahamatra. It seems you'll have to find something else to do for the rest of the day."

The two of them grumble as they jump off of Alhaitham's shoulders and stalk to a corner to whisper amongst themselves. Cyno tunes them out as a gesture of goodwill. He doesn't need to scare the villagers any more than he already does.

"And this one?" Cyno crouches by the little girl, smiling when she beams up at him.

"Too young to speak much, as far as I can tell. It seems she was attracted by the commotion the boys were making."

"I'll help you find her caretakers later." Cyno gently sits by her side, allowing the girl to tug at his hair. "Sorry I've made you come all this way with me."

"I don't mind. For now, I'm the closest thing the Akademiya has to a representative, excluding the Dendron Archon herself. I'm sure you understand it's a little too soon for her to be the face of the rainforest around here."

Cyno nods absentmindedly. He scrunches up his nose when a strong tug stings at his scalp. Is he supposed to let her continue, or chastise her for hurting him? Is it even okay to chastise someone else's kid? He's not sure. For now, he settles for prying her fingers off his hair.

"Everything alright?" Alhaitham asks, smiling with amusement. "It looks like you're in quite the heated battle, General."

"If you can tell, then give me a hand."

"Me?" Alhaitham held a hand to his chest. "I wouldn't know the first thing about helping with children."

"I can't tell whether you're lying or not sometimes," Cyno huffs. "I'd hand off this one to you, but it looks like you're already in demand."

He raises his chin towards the two boys, currently waving to get Alhaitham's attention.

"Are you going?"

Alhaitham hums. "Do you think I should go?"

"What kind of question is that?"

"Well, I don't have any particular reason to go, and I still would like to finish my book. But if the General says I should go, then I will."

The girl coos at him and pats his cheeks. She could probably see him blush. Somehow, it's a lot more embarrassing to be seen like this by a child, so Cyno resolutely looks away.

"You should go play with them and lose at whatever game they've come up with," he jokes, hoping to disperse the charged air between them.

Alhaitham seems to ponder his words for a moment before closing his book and crouching by Cyno.

"I've recently found out there's very little I wouldn't do to make you happy," he declares, as monotone as one would talk about the weather.

"Testing the limits of that hypothesis is a good enough pastime, at the very least. I'm off then."

He gently lays a hand on Cyno's head, then pinches the little girl's cheek. Cyno watches him walk away, mouth agape.

And as Alhaitham "loses" in a race against two kids, Cyno looks down at his little partner, grinning despite himself.

"He really is be will daring, don't you think?"

She happily gurgles her agreement.

May I request a Kazuha X Heizou X Wanderer platonically with afem!reader who was isekaied to the Genshin world and basically goes through the same thing Wanderer did in the Sumeru archon quests (the sages & Dottore turning him into a god) but the reader’s motivations for becoming a god were not for power but because she didn’t want anyone to hurt her. And during the battle against her one of them notices that the way she’s acting is more akin to a child playing a game rather than someone maliciously causing trouble. After being defeated the reader turns into a baby. Wanderer suggests the three of them adopt her so there isn’t a situation like how he was back then (even if Heizou and Kazuha don’t know what he’s talking about do the Irminsul situation)

You got it

Kazuha x Heizou x Wanderer x Female Reader: To Be a God

Warnings: fluff in general, but pieces of angst here and there

Rating: SFW

To be a god, there are rules to follow. To be a powerful god like an archon, there are even more rules to follow. To you, you didn't care about the rules. Hell, you didn't even care as to how to ended up from your New York City apartment into the world of Genshin. When Dottore found you, he gave you a once in a lifetime opportunity and you took it. Sure the process was gruesome, but now you were given the chance to become a god. Now no one would ever make fun of you.

                ��                                         ☽✧☽✧

Kazhua and Heizou were invited to Sumeru to visit their wonderful yet angsty boyfriend, Kunicara (which is what I named the wanderer in the game). Given Heizou's status in Inazuma and Kazuha constantally being out at sea, it was rare for the three of them to be together. As the two Inazumans walked around the Grand Bazzar, they spotted Kunicara, but he seemed worried which freaked the two out.

"Hey, Kuni-" Heizou started.

"Quick, how do I take care of a baby?!" Kunicara asked as he gripped his hair, leaving the two confused.

"Uh, what?" Kazuha asked as he tilted his head in confusion.

"A baby! How do I take care of one?!" The two boys didn't know what to do. None of them had ever taken care of babies before.

"Babe, you're gonna have to explain this to us," Heizou said. After getting Kunicara to calm down, the three sat a nearby café where the story of how Kunicara became in charge of a baby.

                                                          ☽✧☽✧

After sifling through his memories, Kunicara and the traveller came upon Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal. But there was something different about it. Inside was a girl. You.

"Hey! Who are you?! Where's the Balladeer?!" Paimon shouted at you.

"Who, me? I'm the new god of Sumeru," You giggled. This was strange. Wasn't Scaramouche supposed to be in there? Even Nahida was confused.

"Why do you want to become a god?" she asked you. You paused for a moment. No one has ever asked you that. But you responded to her plain and simple.

"I don't want anyone to hurt me. I want to be like the gods I read about or see in movies, where they care about the ones they love," you said. The wanderer looked at you in shock. This wasn't about power? But protecting those you loved? He never thought of that. But he had to defeat you in order to restore things with Irminsul.

*Time skip cause I'm tired and don't wanna write a fight scene*

After a long and playful fight, you were finally defeated. The only problem was, you turned into a baby?!

"What?! How did she turn into a baby?!" Paimon exclaimed.

"I guess the power she was given was too much and caused her to shrink down into an infant," Nahida said. Soon, began the debate of who would look after you and Kunicara ended up being your caretaker.

                                                          ☽✧☽✧

"Wow, you don't hear that everyday," Heizou said.

"I don't know what to do! You guys gotta help me!" Kunicara begged.

"Alright, alright. Deep breath," Kazuha said and Kunicara did as he was told. "Now then. Let's think about this here. You live in Sumeru, I live on a boat in Liyue waters, and Heizou lives in Inazuma. Obviously, if you want our help, we'll need to buy a place."

"Not Inazuma!" Kunicara quickly said.

"A-alright then. How about here in Sumeru? It's nice, beautiful, and got the Akidemiya (I know I spelled that wrong but I'm too lazy to fix it) right there. It's perfect!" Kunicara gave it some thought and soon realized that Sumeru was perfect.

"Alright then. Let's do it," he said.

"Perfect! Besides, I've been wanting to start a family with you two for a long time now," Kazuha smiled. And so began the long but amazing journey of raising you as their daughter.

The Narzissenkreuz Adventure: Initial Thoughts

I want to make sure I write these down before I forget them, so please don't consider this post an "in depth" lore rant so much as some preliminary thoughts I hope to delve into later!

SPOILERS FOR FONTAINE UNDER THE CUT

First: names. Oh my god. Friends will attest that I've been screaming in Discord for the last few weeks, "WHY IS THE FROG NAMED JAK!?," with no context. Now I finally have an answer, and I am sated (for now). While the names of the actual water constructs aren't inherently important - they even say so themselves - we can now conclude that Mary-Ann / Ann pulled the names of people who lived and worked around her at the Narzissenkreuz Institute for the characters in her children's stories. We have Jak(ob Ingold), Al(ain Guillotine), Rene, Kate (possibly Karl??) and Petit Chou (this one is a stretch, but since Chou and Basil Elton are both named after vegetation, I think that's who Chou is supposed to be.)

Also I love that they decided to make Mary-Ann a direct reference to Alice in Wonderland (Mary-Ann is the name of the housekeeper the White Rabbit mistakes Alice for; and the Narzissenkreuz Mary-Ann is a caretaker and governess for the children).

Platonism has SO much weight in Fontaine, and especially here. Ashikai made a video recently that references the Veluriyam Mirage and Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and this time around we have characters who blatantly announce that their physical forms and names have nothing to do with their essence. In their minds, their "purpose" in the story is who they are. This is highly likely to be a reference to Aristotle and Plato's believe in animism and essentialism - all things have souls and the soul is the true form of the self.

JUNGIAN ARCHETYPES!!! This made me extremely excited. The Adventure Team says that "our purposes are our essences," which feels very archetypal. Kate is not Kate, but The Battle Hardened General. Narcissus is not Narcissus, or even an Oceanid, but The Dragon. Ann is not Ann, but The Hero. The repetition of certain archetypes in every single nation we've been to has made me spin in circles the whole time I've been observing it. There have been MANY archetypes that have repeated themselves in each nation (a Dragon, a Dragon-Slayer, a Holy Bird, a Big Tree, etc.) - and if things like archetypes and the collective unconscious are real and have a real effect on the events of Teyvat, it brings up two more questions: which of these archetypes were the "first," and how many times will they keep repeating?

"THE RULE OF THREE IS AN ANCIENT PRINCIPLE" DO I NEED TO SAY MORE? yes. yes i do. SO. despite poking through BOTH Aristotle's Rhetoric and his Poetics, while he loves listing his premises and theories in groups of three, he doesn't actually mention WHY he uses the number three so often. It's more likely thanks to our buddy Pythagoras that the number three is considered a Special™️ number, because he thought that (since it's the sum of all numbers beneath it - 1 + 2), he believed to be a "noble" number representing unity and harmony. Hence, why it's shown up everywhere from Christianity to neopaganism to writing to business marketing (!?) since.

THE NARZISSENKREUZ DOMAIN IS AN ENDLESS DOWNWARD SPIRAL WITH EACH LEVEL ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS GOING TO BE A LONG TOPIC FOR ANOTHER DAY

The only other time we've seen Paimon have such a strong response to a domain was under The Chasm - which was also a time loop of sorts. We've also seen (especially via the Sabzeruz Samsara) that she can't tell when we're stuck in a time loop. She can only feel its effects via fatigue and dizziness. This definitely has to be important.

So these are artifacts right. The pocket watch and the feather. These are symbols of aspects of Ann's story, so they're parts of an artifact set? They hold parts of her soul? We're all on the same page with that right!? RIGHT??

It's not given its proper name, but the Jabberwock's Holy Sword is quite obviously the Vorpal Blade, a well-recognized dragon-slaying sword from Lewis Carroll's poem "The Jabberwocky," which features in Through the Looking Glass.

Speaking of all the Alice references in this world quest - the final chapter of TtLG ("Who Dreamed It?") is a little unnerving in a Genshin context, since "what is life but a dream?" implies that, if whoever is dreaming of Teyvat(?) ever wakes up...well. Let's hope the collective unconscious thing is a more accurate representation for how Teyvat works, since then everyone would have to wake up for the universe to disappear.

EDIT: Ann mentions three cities/civilizations while we're in the Looking Glass Domain: Yith, Arcadia, and Hyperborea. I've posted an explanation about Yith in my Lovecraft References post but I want to mention the other two really quick! In Greek mythology, Arcadia was supposed to be an unspoiled paradise outside of human civilization, where the god Pan lived alongside a bunch of nature spirits (dryads, nymphs etc.). Hyperborea, meanwhile, was a city "beyond the reach of Boreas (the North Wind)," inhabited by people who worshipped and were beloved by Apollo (god of being Booked and Busy, apparently). The former wasn't so much a utopia as a place where supernatural entities could chill away from humans (which reminds me of the lost kingdom of the Seelie?), while the latter was a maybe-real, maybe-not utopia inhabited by 10-foot-tall blondes.

THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT FOR NOW BUT. but if you want to chat about things that happened in Narzissenkreuz, my ask box is open!!

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

I have more brainrot but its on Al Haitham because uhh

30 pity for Al Haitham and I randomly got his weapon when pulling for Jade Spear. He must like me.

Imagine Al Haitham being an Abyssal Legacy, most likely from a knowledge capsule gone wrong at one point and he is stuck in his new form. I headcanon him as Autistic bc Im Autistic and my word is law /j.

But he absolutely DETESTES his heightned sense of hearing now. He used to be able to wear soundproof headphones with adjustable settings but now they cant even fit on his head. Of course he went straight to the traveller who took him straight to you, the alledged "abyssmal tamer". In reality you just attract them like a magnet unwarrented. you help Al Haitham adjust until he obtains his human form back and feed him snacks. Childe took some time getting used to the new Roommate but understood Al Haitham was here because he wanted help from you.

Eventually the problem was fixed and Al Haitham paid you handsomely for the caretaking but also your silence about the whole thing...nobody needs to know how much he loves cuddles and bed time stories.

Kaveh was not used to the silence so when he asked Al Haitham the only response was "I had a slight detour when it came to some of the knowledge capsules"

I have like no more brain juice Im sorry

aaaaa my dear i am so sorry for how long this took to answer ;-;;;;

i can just imagine you opening the door to see a sheepish Traveler, a confused Paimon, and a VERY irritated Abyss monster, and without a word you simply sigh and usher them all inside. Childe immediately approaches when you sit on the couch, curling up by your side and casting curious glances at the new Abyss creature in the house, who the Traveler tells you is called "Alhaitham". they ramble on and on about how they'd really appreciate it if you took him in, and how they'd make sure you'd be paid handsomely, and it's be really helpful of you to do, and you simply not idly before clearing your throat

"What does he think about it?"

Alhaitham blinks in surprise, tilting his head in consideration. you're quiet, perhaps purposefully so, always keeping your voice soft and light, especially when the other Abyss monster- Childe- was near you, and you seem to be kind enough, if a little tired. but does he really want to live with essentially two strangers until this whole situation is resolved?

Paimon yells in his ear, and Alhaitham decides that yes, yes he does

he acclimates fairly quickly to a new lifestyle in your home- for the most part, you and Childe leave him alone unless he needs you, and you take it upon yourself to provide as many books as you can find in your house. Childe is another variant of his kind- albeit permanently so- and occasionally chats with Alhaitham through a language of chirps and trills, even going so far as to share your lap (the best pillow ever) with him when thunderstorms are particularly loud. sometimes Alhaitham sees you working on some type of project, but whenever he clicks curiously you simply smile and put a finger to your lips

a few weeks later he finds a pair of soundproof headphones on his bed, specifically made for his new form

Alhaitham's really not clingy, he only seeks your touch when it's thundering outside or if there's something loud like fireworks, but occasionally he'll spot you and Childe together on the couch and silently sneak over to join you- which of course he'll NEVER admit when he turns back into a human. he does apologize for the trouble, but you just smile and wave, Childe standing behind you and chirping goodbye, saying that you're used to it and showing him a map back to Sumeru

and the moment he steps into the city he's bombarded by questions from his friends and colleagues, and he almost wants to turn right around and head back to the peace and quiet of your house

takes out pocket watch. late! i'm late! unfortunately, my brain has been absolutely static for the past week, and i could hardly string a sentence together to save my life, but i'm good now! holding my hand out - let's take ibuprofen together, traveler. like the last time, i'll list everything i'm interested in, but i'd prefer to take only two threads at a time to minimize burnout ♡

ORIGAMI. ooo i think it would be cute to mix this with the japanese legend "senbazuru," which fables how folding a thousand paper cranes will grant you a wish. this can be for anything but usually people wish to heal an ill or hurt loved one.

i imagine another muse might happen upon paimon who's covered in shoddy paper cranes and question what she's doing, only for her to spiritedly explain she's sending them to her friends from abroad. they could offer to lend some help, and the two of them could sit together as the other teaches paimon how to fold correctly ( or maybe they both struggle hahaha ) while swapping stories about who they're sending their wishes to.

PEPESHI. conveniently, there's a floating starlight fairy buzzing around the hotel, furiously scribbling notes on penacony to bring back to her best friend, and an easy sucker for offloading your labor in exchange for some information. she'll handle all of the hard work of getting to those lofty places with her flight magic, and you'll walk away with some extra credits; it's a win-win situation!

unfortunately, this small fairy has a big mouth⸻this microaggressor is going to speedrun the enemy of the pepeshi achievement unless she's stopped. as the one who brought her in, it is your moral responsibility to correct this tourist's poor behavior and keep her out of trouble.

( otherwise i think the two muses goofing off in the hotel doing odd jobs just sounds cute sjskakaj )

PLOT BUNNIES.

one of my favorite paimon media is her teyvat food notes entry which is the cutest thing ever. i'd love for her to actually get her wish - baking her very own a slime-flavored cake! i think it'd be cute having the two muses puzzle over how to make such a thing edible for non-paimonials, combined with paimon's natural messiness in the kitchen.

hic. i'm so soft for someone taking care of paimon while she's sick. i imagine depending on the caretaker she'd enjoy being pampered for the day, or be a cranky little baby since she wants to go out and play.

paimon wants to say happy birthday!! paimon hopes you have a wonderful day, full of fun things and happy moments! please always remember your f/os love you very much ♡

anyway, for the ask game: coconuts & lychees?

✦ paimon from @wishis!

Thankyou so much for the ask Paimon!!!! (≧∇≦)ﾉ And thanks for making the ask game as well it's very fun!!

Coconuts ✦ What's your "type" in terms of fictional characters? What character trait(s) are you most drawn to?

When I realized I was Asexual I was very "I don't have a type" about romance, self shipping included, and while I still stand by that because to me my F/O list looks like it's kind of all over the place... I have submitted to the fact that a man simply has to be Pathetic and Cringe for me to like him. Koro-Sensei instilled that type in me,

Other than that I'm not sure, someone else would have to tell me, I'm not good at picking up "types" between characters, they're all so unique to me I can't see their tropes kfjgkfg

Lychees ✦ Do you use self-shipping to explore dynamics that you otherwise wouldn't in real life? What dynamics? Do you use self-shipping to imagine things you do want to experience in real life?

Yes to both, but obviously different dynamics krgjdfjgkdfdkg

For what I do want in real life, it's mostly Polycule dynamics. A good, communicative group of a couple. Me, my partner, their partner, our collective shared partner, the Queerplatonic, my other partner, our friend who isn't dating anyone but is hanging out, and the person we're all desperately trying to swoon.

I know a Big Polycule isn't the most realistic thing in the world, but it's my personal dream to have a polycule of 4 or more people interchangeably dating living together. I like imaging that life in Self Shipping a lot, with grey areas between Romantic and Platonic sense that's where I naturally fall, and solid communication of feelings and wants/needs expressed.

As for stuff I wouldn't want in real life, it almost falls in the same category? I adore Grey love, this middle space between Familial, Romantic, and Platonic. Between just a little over protective and completely obsessive. Between overbearing affections and devoted co-dependence. The space just before we hit a breaking point and cross the line into forbidden

A caretaker who loves their child the wrong way, a friend who never wants to let go of your hand, a teach who shows favoritism to a certain student or a sibling who just wants to spend a bit more time together.

Supposedly there's a Right and Wrong way to love someone, a clear cut line between the types of Love in the world

I like to blur that line while self shipping.

Striker sat stiffly in the velvet-lined carriage, the leather of his gloves creaking as he gripped the armrest.

Outside, the imposing manor loomed larger with each passing moment. The weight of his new title, General of the Satanic Forces, pressed down on him like the thick, sulfurous air of Hell itself. The journey had been long, but he was not tired. His mind was too full—of duty, of honor, of the future that was now inescapably his.

As the carriage rolled steadily down the gravel path, he caught sight of the lined-up staff from the small window. The Goetia, dressed in their subdued livery, stood in tidy rows, their heads bowed slightly as they awaited his arrival. A flicker of irritation passed through him.

This was all so formal, so suffocating. He longed to be on horseback, riding through the wild, untamed parts of Hell where he could breathe freely, away from the burdens that came with power.

But Paimon’s voice, always calm and precise, lingered in his memory.

“It wouldn’t be proper for a General to arrive in such a manner, my Lord.”

Paimon had said, his tone gently admonishing as he fussed over the details of Striker’s uniform, making sure every button was in place, every crease sharp. Paimon had practically raised him, more father than servant, more guide than caretaker. The old Goetia housekeeper had been with the family for decades, his wisdom a constant in Striker’s life.

“Remember,” Paimon had added, his eyes meeting Striker’s with that familiar mix of sternness and affection, “Your position demands not just strength, but composure. The troops, the servants, even the high-ranking officers—they all look to you now. You must show them that the blood of your ancestors still runs strong.”

Striker had nodded, though a part of him resented the reminder. He knew his duties, understood the weight of his lineage better than anyone. His grandfather, Amaru, had been a legend, leading Satan’s armies with an iron fist. His father, Anvil, had fought valiantly in the eternal war against Heaven, sacrificing everything for the cause. Now it was his turn, and with the title came expectations that were as heavy as any armor.

Yet, there was one expectation he struggled to accept.

The thought of it made his stomach twist as the carriage approached the manor’s grand entrance.

A marriage, arranged by Satan himself, to a member of the Buckzo family. Barbara Wire—violent, spoiled, manipulative, aggressive, and everything he didn’t want in a partner. The idea of being tied to her for the sake of producing an heir was a bitter pill to swallow. He had never desired marriage, never wanted the complications it brought, especially with Barbara. And then there was Blitz…

He clenched his jaw at the thought of the past, a past he had tried to bury deep. Blitz Buckzo, the brother of his soon-to-be wife, had been his lover, his confidant, back when life was simpler. Before the Academy, before the weight of duty had crushed their youthful passions. Their breakup had been as painful as it was necessary, and he had hoped—prayed, even—that he would never have to see Blitz again.

But Hell had a way of twisting fate, binding souls together in ways that no one could escape. Now, he was to marry into the very family he had once sought to forget, to play the part of a dutiful husband while old wounds still festered beneath the surface.

The carriage came to a halt, and Striker took a deep breath, steeling himself. The door was opened by one of the Goetia servants, who bowed low as Striker stepped out onto the gravel. The manor loomed above him, its darkened windows like eyes watching his every move. The staff remained in their lines, eyes downcast, waiting for his command.

He straightened his posture, the General’s uniform fitting snugly around his shoulders. As much as he longed to rebel against these rigid traditions, he knew Paimon was right. There was no room for weakness, no space for doubt. He had a legacy to uphold, a kingdom to protect, and an image to maintain.

With a curt nod to the servants, he strode towards the entrance, every step deliberate, every motion controlled. Inside, a new chapter of his life awaited—one filled with duty, with challenges, and with the ghosts of a past that refused to stay buried. But Striker was no stranger to war, and this…this was just another battlefield.

@helluvaoutlaw

The household staff was lined up around the estate in tidy rows, like soldiers. The manor itself had belonged to a gruff old imp for many, many years after his ascension to General of the Legions, the second highest position in the military after the King. The staff had looked after his needs for quite some time...but he met his end two months ago, and a new General had been elected.

Coronis stood with most of her family in the line. They had been assigned to this household by virtue of their family lineage centuries ago. It was always one family of Goetia to tend to those in positions of power. The wings of the Satanic Army, the brutal forces that kept Hell in check.

Though she wriggled a little bit as they waited for the new General to arrive. They would be serving those one a great deal longer...if he survived the appointment. This one was new. This one was young.

General Striker had a name even before Satan appointed him the title. I just hope he's not as scary as the rumors say. Coronis sighed a little, still waiting.
