#God of Sky Kaeya AU

[hibiscus-writing]

Child of Time AU

Genshin au, Ragbros centric featuring a little bit of Venti!

tldr: Kaeya is Istaroth's youngest son, and awakens his godly powers whilst staying with the Ragvindr's.

-Kaeya is the youngest son of Istaroth, the god of thousand winds and time, making him the younger brother of Barbatos and the thousand winds.

-Istaroth had a one night stand with Kaeya's father, resulting in Kaeya. Istaroth basically dumped Kaeya onto his father and fucked off after birth.

-Kaeya's father tried his best, here Kaeya was merely the king's cousin's child, barely royalty, to the point they don't even live in the castle, left barely scraping by.

-Kaeya's father didn't know of his royal side of the family, he is merely scraping by raising the son he adores but had no preparation before getting him.

-Kaeya's father is a single father, working quick jobs around Khaenri'ah to make due. Despite this, Kaeya's father wouldn't give up anything for Kaeya.

-Kaeya's father doesn't know that Istaroth was a god, as she had disguised herself as a mortal when meeting Kaeya's father and dropping him off.

-they make due for about a year before  Khaenri'ah’s collapse, where luckily, both Kaeya's father and Kaeya survive miraculously (Kaeya unconsciously awakening his godly powers to protect himself and his father). They didn't come out completely unsaved, as Kaeya's father was affected by the curse, doomed to be slowly transformed into an Abyssal being, however it is not instant like many other Khaenri'ahn’s.

-all the survivors create a base at the ruins of the castle, some of those survivors are the former royal family, who continue to take charge. 

-its survival of the fittest from here, Kaeya's father slowly but painfully morphs into a hilichurl, only staying fully conscious enough to see Kaeya, now 4, being chosen to be a spy and sent away to Mondstadt.

-from here, the events of canon basically got exactly the same, except one moment when Kaeya is 7

-when he was 7, he felt extremely Ill. Many were worried he wouldn't last another night, this broke Crepus's heart, barely leaving his side as healers tried and failed to identify the boy's illness.

-late into the night, when everyone else in the house is asleep, Crepus steps out of Kaeya's room to wet a cloth to cool the boy down, and when he enters the room, he's met with hundreds of the thought to be extinct wind wisps and Lord Barbatos looking over the boy.

-Crepus is flabbergasted, pausing before beginning to audibley pray and beg for Barbatos to cure Kaeya's illness.

-Barbatos laughs, pulling Crepus back onto his feet and explaining that Kaeya isn’t sick, his powers are simply fully awakening.

-still confused, Barbatos explains further, that Kaeya is his youngest sibling, and he’s been watching over him since he arrived in Mondstadt. Now that Kaeya’s powers are awakening, he’s here alongside the many wind sprite siblings to help teach Kaeya how to control his powers.

-Barbatos stays the whole night, helping Kaeya throughout the awakening.

-Kaeya grows peacock wings and a tail during this process, with the ends of some feathers trailing off into what looks to be a night sky full of stars.

-Kaeya was extremely confused and distressed when he woke up, scared of Barbatos especially. He trips over his wings, hides behind Crepus, ect.

-crepus sits down and explains to Kaeya what happened.

-this only confused Kaeya more, but he calmed down a little, he's still hiding behind Crepus when barbatos introduced himself.

-Kaeya’s still cautious, but allows himself to calm down a little. 

-the day begins to rise and Barbatos has to leave, but promises to return soon to help teach Kaeya. 

-this carries on for a couple years, with Barbatos arriving at night to teach Kaeya his godly abilities, and Crepus making sure it stays a secret whilst supporting him.

-everything that happens during Diluc’s 18th birthday happens, except Kaeya doesn’t get a vision. Before Diluc can serve his finishing move, Kaeya is whisked away. 

-Diluc runs off to do his whole revenge plot, and Kaeya wakes up in his godly form, his new scars turning into miniature galaxies flowing on his skin.

-Istaroth saved Kaeya before he could die. She might be distant and neglectful, but she doesn’t want to see Kaeya die.

-she tells him that now's as good a time as any to start his role as god of the sky. The real sky, not the fake sky Celestia put up.

-Istaroth shows Kaeya his new domain, showing him how to manipulate star dust to create living beings, control planets' gravitational pull, and more.

-it’s there Kaeya stays for years, with his only visitors being Barbatos and the wind wisps, his only remaining family.

-Kaeya often stares down at Teyvat, wondering how everyone is in his absence. He can't see anyone from above, and the questions he asks Barbatos doesn't quell his wonders.

-He misses everyone in Mondstadt dearly, however he knows he's gone too far to ever return, especially after his confession to Diluc, who ‘definitely told everyone by now’

-cut to modern day, a mysterious domain was discovered, and Jean asks the traveller to accompany her as she clears it out. Diluc tags along when the travellers ask them too.

-Diluc is slightly different in this au. Part of his dark knight hero shtick is trying to discover where Kaeya is, because once his mind cleared up, he realised how weird it was that Kaeya completely disappeared, and this got worse once he realised Kaeya was never found afterwards.

-when they enter this domain, the world shifts around them. The floor is replaced with a transparent floor, covered in fake stars and clouds, with a view of Teyvat underneath. Surrounding them is a lively, beautiful galaxy of stars, with swirls of colours and constellations littering the sky. 

-some constellations seem to come alive and move across the sky.

-The group are confronted by an stary outline of a peacock, calling itself Pavo. He says he is a part of the Pavo oculus constellation. He remarks that the group should be able to see some of it underneath the false sky, which confuses the group.

-when questioned, Pavo states that all of Teyvat is covered in a fake sky, put into place by Celestia, and where they are now is the outside layer of that fake sky to the real one.

-Diluc, Jean and the Traveller are left to navigate the border between Teyvat and the vastness of space, finding more clues to Kaeya’s disappearance.

Daydream in a Nightmare

Authors note: I read a soulmate au where with dream sharing. Everytime you fall asleep you and your SM would meet in a world that would reflect your consciousness and who you were. So down below are the boys and what I think the places their dreams would depict.

Mondstadt

Diluc: The cathedral. His mom, back when she was alive, used to play during service and afterwards Diluc ran over greeting her with the biggest smile, asking her to play him one more song. She never failed to. Maybe that's why there's always a gentle melody playing whenever you see him as he rests his fingers over the same white tiles, simply trying to remember how to play.

Kaeya: The Dawn Winery. Or at least parts of it. Behind closed doors there's the scent of grass, of dirt, and the faintest smell of ash. He says it's simply the vineyard that in the real world would be right outside, but he knows well as he pulls your hand from the doorknob that it's ruins of a fallen nation haunting him right on the other side.

Albedo: Glass walls. A maze of mirrors and reflections. If you ever have stopped to bother to count between Albedo’s musings as he shares with you the secrets of the world, you'd notice that for some reason he always has more reflections in the walls around you than of your own figure. Like there's more of him than there is of you.

Venti: Old Mondstadt. Back before the revolution, back when there were people in the streets wishing their God weren't so unjust, but in his dreams that wall of spiraling wind is never there. A warped perception of a life he wished to have lived as he sits in your lap not as Venti the bard, but a wind sprite trying to bury into your clothes for warmth. Just don't call him pipsqueek or he'll try and bite your fingers. Playfully. You think.

Liyue

Zhongli: A place that no longer exists, one torn away by this world during the archon war. It's unlike him not to comment on a place, a trinket, an item, as you pick something up and fiddle with it, but this place he never goes into full detail on. However, he will tell you all about the artisanship of the table you two are sharing tea over.

Baizhu: His home back in Chenyu Vale, back before the illness hit his village, back before his parents passed away. Just a modest home that shows signs of being truly well lived in and loved. Mindlessly while you two talk he'll be cleaning the place, just the way he always does at the pharmacy. Though it does help give him something to fill the silence. It turns out he's a lot more used to Changsheng chiming in with comments than he thought. He just hopes you two get along when the time to meet in person finally comes about.

Ga ming: A festival. There's water kicking up at everyone's feet, up to everyones ankles as people with their face covered in all manner of masks walk you both by. Ga ming would pull you along from booth to booth, trying his best to win prizes despite the fact you both know they'll be gone by the time you wake.

Xiao: A Chinese pavilion in the sky. You walk among the clouds as you follow the path of the street, looking over the accents that seem somehow both rich in color and dull, muddied all at the same time. Something you've noticed from his dreams compared to yours, his always have a lingering black fog creeping in at the corner of your eyes. It makes you feel like someone else is in this world with you, like there's eyes waiting to do more than just watch.

Inazuma

Kazooha: A meadow. The wind passes you both by, stirring up pages of books you two sit reading in silence. You can't help but wonder if these are all books he's read before, especially the ones that wax poetry or something else. His thoughts, perhaps? Maybe Kazuha's very own writings? But that matters little as his head is resting on your shoulder as you try to catch words between the fluttering sheets of paper.

Itto: A kabuki play. It always ends up in you two hiding away in the back room where the performers would get ready before getting back out on stage for the next act. You would see the brightest of colors, richest of fabrics, and practiced movements so fine tuned that you can't understand why Itto is so focused on taking the makeup on the vanity in the back simply so he can paint your face with red marks just like his. To each their own you suppose, and who are you to complain when it means drawing hearts on his arm when Itto isn't paying attention?

Gorou: A tea house. It's a small place, simple, but certainly not lacking charm as Gorou pours you a cup. At first the fact you could actually taste the rich herbs on your tongue in this dreamscape threw you off, but now it's just another part of this odd reality. But saying that, the first time you spat out the drink he offered as soon as the bitter taste hit you. Apparently he never expected you to not already be used to green tea. The poor fella was apologizing for the rest of the night, ears laid flat on his head and tail tucked between his legs. It's okay though, you made it even by trying to give him dog treats. It was you having to beg for forgiveness then.

Thoma: It was different this time. No glowing blue flowers and a forest that you two would stroll through mindlessly while chatting for hours. No, this time Thoma was sitting on a wooden platform below a giant stone statue. Intriguing, yes, but mattered little compared to the rope burns around his wrist. He tried to tell you not to worry about it. That it was an accident. But that mattered little as your lips pressed to the red, irritated skin and he gave you a strained smile. You knew better than to ask about it more from there.

Ayato: It's ever changing. It's like he is constantly thinking of something whenever He falls asleep and it reflects in his dreams. Once it was a Japanese styled room the next it was some room in Fontaine's architecture. But it's always a bedroom. A place of relaxation as Ayato buries his head in your lap like it was a pillow. He'll whine about being overworked until you're tempted to pull on his hair just to make the man shut up for once, but last time you did that it led to the bed being used for a lot more than just rest. For now just pat his head and let him vent, the man needs it.

Sumeru

Kaveh: A sketch brought to life from his mothers blueprints. One he saw his mother sketching back when Kaveh was a boy and she would let him sit on her lap, let him comment on the drawings. She would always find some way to incorporate his addictions into the sketch. Nowadays he knows the building that was actually constructed in the end to be simpler, duller than the one his mother wanted, but in his dreams with you it stands tall and proud.

Al Haitham: An attic. It's dusty and it clearly had a hole in the roof that was covered over by some wooden planks and nails. A patch work job that needs to be fixed but if you ever take the time to bother with it while Al Haitham sits in an old rocking chair covered by a quilt reading the night away it will only be there the next dream cycle. It pisses you off. He pisses you off. All nonchalance and an apathetic look even as you plop yourself in his lap and take that book away. And what pisses you off even more? How he dares to call you needy as he holds you close. It's best to ignore the fact he started reading over your shoulder.

Tighnari: Pardis Dhyai. He'll sit on the walkway watching you kick the water of the ponds around, paying no mind to when you splash at him. Not anymore at least. He's learned quickly if he makes a snarky comment you'll give one back and it'll go on and on until somehow it ends in him getting dragged into the pond with you. Both dripping algae filled water as he wondered what gods made this numbskull his mate.

Cyno: Lambad's Tavern. Everytime he would come back from treks in the desert he would go there, get a drink, and play a round of cards with whoever was willing. It was a pattern. Work, work, rest, and more work. But now he didn't have to constantly be on work mode as he sat with you in the old booth shuffling cards as he tried to explain to you how TCG works. So far everytime you lose you've thrown those elemental dice and him, and with a smile he lets them hit him in the head despite being fully able to dodge them. His soulmate is such a sore loser.

Wanderer: Shakkei Pavilion. He hates it. Hates that this is the place his unconscious has chosen to sink onto so stubbornly. His wooden fingers would slide over the paintings depicting Scaramouche’s past that has now been severed from him in everyone's eyes but Nahida and the Traveler. If you knew, would you still hold his hand? Would you still trace the details of his joints and comment that you find his pretty face such a stark contrast to his sharp words? He's afraid to find out, the idea that you might be his fourth betrayal always lingering in the back of his mind.

Fontaine

Neuvillette: Under the water where the currents would carry stray bits of seaweed and fish swimming past. The first time you shared a dream with him here he had to calm you down as instinctively you held your breath, taking your hands in his and assuring you if he can talk like this, you can suck in air just as well. It took some time getting used to, but now he watches as you grab starfish off the ocean floor and bring them over to him like a prize to be presented. This is what humans must be like Neuvillette tells himself as you braid them into his hair.

Worcestershire sauce: A home. A nice one at that. Big, had decent furnishings, pictures of kids hung up on the wall. If you listened closely enough you could even hear children playing outside from the cracked open windows that showed the brightest sky outside. Wriothesly would walk behind you as you would watch the grass blowing in the wind, not saying a word as he rested his chin on top of your head. He never thought he'd be back here again. The very place made him feel sick to his stomach, but with you? It was bearable. Even as you tried to grab his handcuffs from him.

Snezhnaya

Childe: His childhood home. Back before the renovations he bought for the place with his money as a harbinger, back before the redecorating of rooms to fit more children, and back to what the house was like when he was just a boy yet to fall into the abyss. Back when everything was simpler. He would pick up toys that have gone missing, never to be seen again and stare in wonder how it all is exactly how he remembers it. It makes it so much easier to be Ajax with you, rather than Tartaglia.

Dottore: The hospital he was working in when trying to help Eleazar patients. For the life of him does he hate it, being back in the desert always having to tip his shoes out of sand that never seems to fully clear off. It doesn't help you try and pour sand down his shirt, but in a way he supposes it's better you two stay out here under that blistering sun than you going inside to be met with the smell of death. No, you don't need to know about that side of him just yet.

Pantalone: His office. It always makes it hard to tell at first if he's awake, not when the same scene greets him either way. You always joke about him being married to his work and you're the mistress in this relationship. At this point he counts on the comment as soon as his eyes flutter open and he's greeted with the sight of you sitting on the desk he's been using as a pillow. Still, he can never help the genuine smile at seeing you once again.

Captain: A flower field. The snowdrops peek out from under the fluffy blanket of white powder, crunching under every step he takes. Even in his dreams the cold of Snezhnaya is ever present, ever biting. It only makes sense you are shivering behind him even as he lets you steal his cloak that is more of a blanket on you than anything. This field, he knows it well, knows that what waters these flowers is more blood than anything else, but that matters little as he wraps his arms around you. Maybe he can find a way to dream you a proper jacket.

Pierro: A grand hall. It reminds you of the way ballrooms are described in romance stories as the couple depicted would dance the night away. Columns so high you have to tilt your head back just to see where they meet the ceiling covered in paintings you've never seen before. That is until Pierro steps into your view. He always offered his hand to you before you could ask, and as your fingers interlocked he would tell you about them. Always ready to answer your questions. It meant someone was curious about a part of his long lost nation. So, of course, he was always happy to share.

Scaramouche: A never ending fire. It's a small shack, engulfed by flames that never seem to dwindle or burn out the wood it feeds on. Like this place was stuck in time in his mind. He doesn't talk to you, not any more than a sharp shut up. The only time that glare he showed you disappeared is when you pulled your hand back from the curious fire with a hiss, not expecting it to actually hurt in this fake reality. For a moment you could have sworn he took a step towards you, but he never came any closer than that as he hissed at you to be careful. Dumb mortals should at least know not to burn themselves.

Be a Gladiolus in a Field of Belladonnas pt1

(Summary): Classic imposter au, but what if the archons know your the Creator but don’t have control over their actions and are forced to hunt you down (original concept)

(Characters): Diluc, Kaeya, Venti, Lumine, Paimon, & Amber

(Warnings): Not beta read

─────────── ✧ ───────────

A soft breeze pushes your hair into your face, you turn over feeling the little pricks on your exposed skin. Realizing that something is wrong you shot up and surveyed your surroundings

Green fields is all you can see, completely different from the area you were previously in. You stood up and started walking, deciding it’s a lot better than standing there with a thumb up your ass. You didn’t know what direction you were going but hoped you would find a cliff and see if there were any settlements

After what seemed like hours, you declared that the gods of this world were angry at you, no sign of civilization either looking from the top of hills or from the ground. It didn’t help you were frustrated beyond belief, you kept thinking on how the terrain was vaguely familiar but you couldn’t put your finger on it

The sun has long since retired for the night and you followed its lead by finding an area that didn’t look too uncomfortable. Maybe tomorrow you would have better luck if you’re well rested and have a clear head

Upon laying down you noticed the sea of stars splattered across the night sky. A difference you welcomed, compared to the highly polluted skies back home. You tried to see if you can piece together some constellations, nope. The same issue you had with the landscape, oddly familiar yet foreign at the same time. Now thinking about it, it’s like your whole mind is surrounded by some thick smog impairing your ability to think

No matter, you should try to be getting some sleep. As the haze of sleep drapes over your form, you feel something poking at your side

Still in your grogginess and confusion induced by sleep almost taking over you, you tried to ignore the poking hoping it’ll stop. It doesn’t much to your annoyance, you whip your head towards the person poking you and are greeted with the sight of beige fur and a mask with red paint in the center

A hilichurl

On instinct you moved away from the hilichurl. The creature seemed to be caught off guard and panicked. The hilichurl tried to motion to something in an attempt to explain something to you. Whatever it is you were too occupied with your yelling

You fumbled to get up when you saw more hilichurls and a mitachurl coming towards you out of the corner of your eye

The haze of sleep instantly dissipates as you sprinted at full speed. The group of hilichurls began to chase after you. The amount of adrenaline pumping through your body started to lessen as your legs started to screaming at you stop, but didn’t listen. Run, run, run until they stop chasing you. You were too focused on the hilichurls behind you didn’t see the log slightly buried in the dirt

You fell on the ground with a hard thud, you tried to get up but fell down immediately after. The sounds of hilichurl cries got louder and louder, you were too paralyzed by fear to see how close the group had gotten. You shut your eyes waiting for the impact of the club

“This is RETRIBUTION!”

You felt a wave of heat pass by you accompanied by the call of a bird. You turned your head and saw a figure almost blended into the background, the only reason you can make out the figure was due to the flames and mainly due to their long firey red hair

The person clad in black made quick work of the hillichurls, leaving the mitachurl for last.

The redhead swung their large sword, but the shield stopped the sword from slicing at the mitachurl. The creature readjust the shield in it’s hands and knocks the figure off their feet.

The stranger got back on their feet and picked the sword up. As they began to swing their sword, it was set alight

“BURN!!”

The sword cut through the wooden shield mitachurl, leaving only black smoke and ash remaining of the creature

The person stood up straight and turned towards you. Red hair framing a pale face and hollow eyes the same color look into your wide eyes

DILUC?!

Is what you would’ve said but you were left with your mouth hanging open. The realization that you were in the world of genshin left you at a lost for words

“Are you alright?” Diluc kneeled down and offered you his hand

You just noticed that the mask he would usually wear was missing. Still at a lost for words you pointed towards your face, especially the eye area. It took him a few seconds to get what you were gesturing about and reached to see if his mask is still on but felt his skin

“I won’t tell anyone what happened. And thanks for saving me.”

“It’s nothing, I’m just more concerned about you. Can you walk?”

“Uh, I think so…”

You took his hand and when he helped you up a sharp pain shoot your leg, causing you to fall onto Diluc’s chest

“It looks like you injured your foot during the pursuit, I’ll take you to my manor and have it looked over tomorrow.”

Before you could thank him for his great generosity, he lifted up your legs in a bridal carry and began walking

“My name is Diluc, what’s yours?”

You paused and thought for a moment, since you had no idea what is going on and why you’re in the world of genshin. It’s better the less they know for now

“I… think it’s, Mentir.”

You hoped he wouldn’t dwell on the “name” you gave him and just think your parents wanted to be original and give a name no one has ever heard before.

“I haven’t heard of that name before, but it sounds nice. It’s nice to meet you, Mentir.” Diluc greeted as the two of you walk towards the winery that could be seen in the distance

─────────── ✧ ───────────

The warm rays of the sun shone on your face, gently waking you up. You thought it was odd, you hated when the sun would shine its harsh rays on you, but now it’s more comforting.

“It be because I’m not on earth.” You rationalized

A knock brought you out of your thoughts

“Come in.”

Diluc opened the door and walked into the room and an elderly woman followed closely behind

“Good morning Mentir, how did you sleep?”

“Pretty good.”

“That’s good to hear, I brought a doctor to look over your injuries.”

“Good morning, dearie.” The old woman greeted you. “I’ll start to examine you, and if you get uncomfortable just say so.”

The elderly woman began to examine your foot, her calloused hands were surprisingly gentle against your skin. She softly pressed and squeezed parts of your foot and ankle, and quickly stop when you hissed in pain. The doctor took her hands away from your ankle and sat back down

“It looks like, it’s just a sprained ankle. Nothing too serious, it will take you about 2-3 weeks.”

“That’s good to hear, I was concerned the injury was serious.”

“That’s what I thought, but it seems like our dearie here is greatly favored by our beloved Creator, and to be blessed to look like them too.”

“Creator? Who’s that?” You asked

The woman and Diluc exchanged looks of confusion

“Would you mind if I check your head?”

“Uh, go ahead.”

The doctor felt around your head, running her fingers through your scalp. “Master Diluc told me that he found you in the wilderness at night. Do you remember how you got there?”

After going through your memories you realize something was wrong.

“I don’t remember.”

Trying desperately to recall what you did before before, but you keep drawing blanks. Maybe trying to remember what you did the a few hours before but everything comes up fuzzy and almost impossible to decipher. The cloud over them feels a lot like the haze you noticed last night. But why can’t you remember…

“You don’t have to force yourself, dearie.”

The soothing voice of the doctor brought you out of your spiral. “It’s alright if you don’t remember, forcing yourself to remember will only make things worse.” The elderly doctor’s words calmed down your growing nerves. You flinched when the doctor gently pressed a specific spot on your head. “It hurts when I apply pressure there?”

You nodded and the doctor withdrew their hands and turned towards Diluc

“It seems like our dearie here have some amnesia.”

“Amnesia? But they remember some things, like their name?”

“There’s been some new discoveries about amnesia, some people can get it but still have some memories. It was just discovered by doctors in Sumeru, so there’s not a lot of information on it.”

“That’s unfortunate, Mentir do you remember your family or know where they’re staying?” Diluc asked

You shook your head

“If that’s the case, then I’ll be looking after you from now on.”

You nodded your head. “T-thank you… Master Diluc.”

“Diluc, is fine.” He reassured

The elderly doctor put her hand on Diluc’s to catch his attention. “Our dearie here needs some rest, it’s best if we leave them be.”

Diluc nodded at the suggestion, he stood out of his chair and made his way toward the door before stopping. “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me or one of the servants.” And with that Diluc and the doctor left the room

You laid down on the bed and turned on your side. Thinking back on all of the information that was thrown at you in rapid succession

A Creator that looks just like you, it’s just those sagau fics you used to read used to read all the time back home. You have to learn more this “Creator” before making your next move. Thankfully this seems like this is a more rational sagau, on the fact that Diluc didn’t hunt you down when he first saw you

Maybe you can use this amnesia thing to your advantage to get a better understanding of this world, but for now it’s better to get some rest

─────────── ✧ ───────────

It’s strange really, getting this attached to someone who is in essence a stranger, but Diluc can’t help it

It’s very peculiar for the man who usually wall off his emotions to break them down for you. It’s like you’ve known him for a very long time and has gained his trust. He trust you to know his secret identity as the Dark Knight Hero. Your presence has brighten up his normally dreary life

Just being near you brings a sense of peace and bliss he only gets when the Creator uses his body as a vessel. Your smile is what makes him get up in the morning, the way your face lights up gets him through his nightly patrols around Mondstadt. In simple words he looks forward to coming home. Seeing you is something he thinks is worth fighting for

“Ehe~”

The wretched laugh of a certain bard brought Diluc’s attention towards two smug faces

“What do you two want?” Diluc asked bluntly

“We’re just wondering what could be making you happier than normal?” Kaeya snickered

“It’s no concern of yours, and if you two keep prying I’m going to cut you off.”

“Such a harsh response, could it be that a secret lover has melted the pyro user’s heart of ice?” Venti mused

“Don’t be silly.” Diluc grumbled, unaware of his ears growing red

“My, Diluc having a secret lover? That’s almost hard to believe, but are you going to bring them around the tavern?” Kaeya joked

Diluc starred at the two drunkards with his usual deadpan stare

“That’s it, I’m cutting you both off.”

“Eh?! That’s not fair, Master Diluc!” Venti Cried

“It’s my tavern and it’s closing time, see you two tomorrow, unfortunately…”

Diluc closed up Angel’s Share and kicked out Venti and Kaeya. After locking the tavern he made the long trek to the winery, but instead of it feeling tedious he felt an excitement swell up within him

He wanted to see you again, he wanted to hear your voice again. His thoughts were filled with you that he didn’t notice he reached the winery until he heard

“Diluc, you’re home!” You greeted with the brightest smile on your face. “Look! I can finally walk without those crutches!”

“That’s good to hear.” Diluc commented

“I’ve been doing the physical therapy exercises the doctor told me to do, and now I can go anywhere without those crutches weighing me down!”

“You must remember not to over exert yourself.”

“Sorry…”

Even though it’s a simple conversation, it gives a harmony he never thought he would ever find, at least in a long time

Seeing that your condition has improved he thought it would be a good idea to bring you out of the manor for at least a day, so what’s the worst that could happen

“Would you like to accompany me to the parade tomorrow?”

─────────── ✧ ───────────

The streets of Mondstadt were full of life. Lampposts decorated with flowers and ribbons. People wore flowers either in their hair or attached to their clothes

All of this to celebrate the birth of the Divine Creator

You and Diluc were at a stall getting ready for the day’s festivities, you were cleaning the cups when you caught a glimpse of teal and blue

“So this is the person that’s gotten Diluc out of his constant scowl?” Venti questioned

“My, it’s pretty selfish to hoard all of the attention of this fine stranger. Tell me, what is your name.” Kaeya mused

“Uhh… it’s Me-Mentir.”

The glint of the captain’s eye had you sweating and shaking. His eye seemed to be piercing into your soul and you didn’t like it. Diluc got in between you and Kaeya, taking his attention away from you.

“Kaeya, I would suggest you refrain from making my guest uncomfortable.”

“Oh, are you afraid that I might steal them away from you?”

Even though Diluc’s back was facing you, the anger he was radiating could be felt. The air surrounding the three of you became tense, the two brothers looked like they were about to summon their weapons and fight

“Hey now, it’s not appropriate to fight, it’ll sour the mood.” Venti interjected as he pushed Kaeya away with a gush of wind. “And it would be a shame to brawl on the Creator’s birthday.”

“Venti’s right, and look who just got here.” You noted as you directed the group’s attention to a certain blonde

“Hey Master Diluc! Kaeya! Venti!” A high pitched voice yelled out

“Traveler, Paimon, it’s good to see you.” Diluc greeted

You turned to see Lumine and Paimon walking towards you. When the blonde traveler caught sight of you her eyes widened, her floating companion noticed Lumine being more quiet than she usually is.

“Who’s your friend, they look familiar but Paimon has never seen them around before.”

“Hey, I’m Mentir.”

“Mentir? That’s a very strange name to have.”

“I apologize for my emergency food, she not the sharpest tool in the shed.” Lumine interjected

“Hey! Don’t call Paimon dumb and don’t call her emergency food!!” The fairy stomped in the air

“Master Diluc, would you mind if I show Mentir around the festival?” Lumine asked Diluc, completely ignoring her floating companion

“If it were anyone else I would refuse, but since it’s you I’ll allow it, if Mentir is fine with it.”

“I’m okay going with Lumine.” You said

Diluc raised an eyebrow to your statement but turned his expression back to his usual stoic face.

“Alright, you three have fun.”

Lumine lead you away from the stall and took to see the different sights and try foods that were only available during the festival, but you noticed your further away from the crowd of people

“Traveler! It’s so nice to see you made it to the festival!”

You turned around and saw the energetic Amber

“Hi Amber, what are you doing here this far from the main street?” Lumine asked

“I was doing some very last minute stuff, but that’s done now and I’m so glad to bump into you and…” Amber turned her attention towards you

“This is Mentir, they’re new around here.” Paimon explained

“It’s nice to meet you Mentir, you must be very blessed by the Creator to look exactly like them!”

“Yeah…” Lumine nervously chuckled

“Hey, let’s go and see the parade before it’s gone!” Amber advised

“Oh, we were planning on going to a high ledge to get a good view, I wouldn’t want to take a spot from someone.” The blonde maintained

“Nonsense! You’re the Creator’s first vessel, they would want to see you in the front!” Amber declared as she grabbed both yours and Lumine’s hands

The brunette led you both to the crowd. The attempted suggestions from the Traveler fell on deaf ears as Amber pushed you to the front.

There you got a view of the parade traveling down the street, people wearing white and gold throw flowers into the crowd. Performers playing music singing praises to the Creator. In the center there’s a quartet holding up a golden throne. At the top is a figure seated on it. Their body adorned in silk with gold and the finest gems as accents. They held an aura that screamed regal, but what unnerved you the most was that they looked exactly like you.

Everything was eerily identical to you: the length and texture of your hair, the shape of your face, even the blemishes and birthmarks are the same. The only difference were the eyes, the eyes of the so called Creator were cold and looked like the pits to a deep hole that leads to god knows where.

It seemed that they felt you starring at them, they turned their head towards your direction. It was like time had stopped, the sounds of parade faded out as the two of you starred at each other. You saw the look of terror in their eyes. The doppelganger stood up and pointed towards you

“Seize that imposter!!!”

A Holder but not a Vessel

(feat. Diluc)

❥⁠Synopsis: They say that to be granted a Vision means to be acknowledged by the gods. He may have been granted a vision but he was not acknowledged by the only God that mattered.

❥⁠Content Warnings: SAGAU, cult au, religous themes, kinda angsty in the end, kind of addiction(?)

❥⁠Author's Notes: Wrote this cause I was Dilucless, posted this and still Dilucless sigh

Diluc was proud to have a Vision. He remembered being young and being told by his father that it meant that he was acknowledged by the gods. He had asked then if that meant that You also acknowledged him and was assured that yes, indeed, You did.

Then his father died and his faith in his vision and the gods were shaken. And so, he discarded his vision and faith, leaving Mondstadt altogether.

But even so, rituals and prayers that his father had taught him in worship of You were still a constant in the four years that he was away. He could not bear to discard those teachings, soothing the grief that lingers over his father's death.

When he had taken up his vision once more, he had taken an oath to protect Mondstadt with all his power. Even as he now views his vision as an extension of him, a part of him that still longs for his father believes that you acknowledged him.

Which is why fire surges his body in jealousy at hearing others talk of Your favor. Doubly so when it is Kaeya–drunk as he is–tell tales of his exploits as You use him as a vessel, as You bless him with power and bless him with Your presence.

Privately, he thought that he could do better than the others. He is just as willing to kill the monsters, clean up the mess that's been happening in Teyvat that You've been solving with the Traveler, as the others.

Diluc had only felt Your presence in him several times. He had felt Your warm aura as it soothes his body to a blissfully numb state. He was still aware of his surroundings and was still technically coherent, but he was soothed to a ridiculous degree that he never even felt it when he got hurt when You were in control.

It was mindlessly soothing. Blissful to the point that he felt nothing but Your warmth. And so, so addicting to the point that his body yearns and craves for Your presence in him again. To use him as a vessel but this time permanently. It is not just a want anymore but a need.

He had not been blessed by the stars that fell through the sky that he heard Your vessels mention but whenever those spectacles happen, he hopes that it will bless him.

He needs to be blessed by Your warmth again, his very soul aches for it and he languishes every day that his wish was not met.

Was it because he was not faithful enough? Was it perhaps because of that night? Were You angry that he had left Mondstadt? Was he not enough? Was he lacking in any way?

If that is so, then he would double—no, triple his offerings and prayers. If You were angry because he turned away, then he would repent every day for those years. He will change himself if it is parts of him that You don't like. Was it because he never smiles? Then he will smile for You. Was it because of his surly personality? Then he would revert back to his old self.

He would do anything, anything to be blessed by Your warmth again to the point that he would kill even mortals and gods that had earned Your ire.

Just please tell him what it will take to be blessed once again by Your blissful warmth.

❥⁠End Notes: I will happily lose 50/50 if it meant I could have Diluc but he's still not home

❥⁠Q: Who's a character that you want to get that haven't come home?

Pursuit of Knowledge - Chapter 1

Finally, the first chapter! Criticism is absolutely welcome here, and I hope you enjoy!

This has a gender neutral reader, and is just the regular sentience au; no cult/creator/imposter stuff. Only main difference, [Y/N] is a lore fanatic.

Word count: ~3.3k

So there you were, sitting in your bedroom waiting for Genshin Impact to download. You had heard that it was a huge game, but for some reason your screen only said that there were only around 10 gigabytes of data. ‘I guess 10 gigabytes is pretty big for a mobile game,’ you thought, as the progress bar slowly made its way to 100%.

The stone doors opened, your screen went white, and the opening cutscene you’ve seen a million times before in all those video essays began to play.

Outlanders, your journey ends here.

You’d thought about which sibling you would pick before. You loved seeing Lumine as the villain, and so without hesitation, picked the boy, named Aether.

You’d seen some gameplay before, and you already thought the graphics were good, but this… This was astounding. It was better than what you’d seen before online. Your character didn’t look exactly realistic so to speak, but everything looked extremely high quality. How was this game free? You guessed the difference between this and what you remember was because you were playing on PS5, and began to move on through the story.

After getting the power of Anemo and seeing the Anemo God himself, you met Amber. You spammed through the dialogue, just wanting to get to Mondstadt.

“Ah! A hilichurl!”

“Quick, get it!”

She said “Get it!” like that hilichurl was no more than a bug in someone’s house, about to be killed for no reason other than being there. That… worried you, considering what hilichurls once were. You knew you had to kill this camp of hilichurls to progress the story, but you told yourself that starting now, you wouldn’t be killing any hilichurls unless you were forced to by the plot or you really needed resources.

After a mildly annoying amount of walking, you entered the city and ran to the Cathedral plaza to get your Wind Glider. Amber gave it to you, and you glided across the city, which seemed different, somehow, although you couldn’t tell what was wrong. You were then promptly thrown into the sky, shooting wind projectiles at a dragon. 

“I’m preventing your fall with the power of a thousand winds!”

“HOLY CRAP! It’s God!”

“Concentrate on this! See yourself grasping the wind. Harness its energy.”

You listened to Venti instruct you on this gamemode you didn’t think you’d ever use again, making ‘pew pew pew!’ sounds as Dvalin’s HP bar slowly decreased.

It was the moment you’ve been waiting for. The Traveler lands, and the camera cuts to that blue-haired eyepatch man, one of your favorite characters, Kaeya. You waited until he finished his dramatic introduction, and yelled “WOOOOOOOO!!!!” at the top of your lungs. You thought about playing an audience cheering sound effect, but realized it’s too late now and you don’t even have your soundboard open. You should get that ready in a minute. You’ve already heard this before, so you skip through the dialogue. Well, at least Amber’s lines. You let Kaeya finish everything he has to say. 

‘From afar? Is that all we know of them?’

“Surprisingly, yes.” You said, thinking about how you know so much about everyone in Teyvat yet know close to nothing about the main character. You knew they were older than 500, and they had a sibling, but just who were they? You focused back on the game, sighing after hearing Kaeya say he understands being separated from family, feeling your heart growing heavy as you remember his backstory. “You need someone to talk to, man, I’m all ears.” If there was one thing you really knew about his personality, it was that he needed a therapist.

You entered the HQ and listened to the group devise a plan. You still didn’t know why you were only taking care of 3 temples, but you would eventually figure that out, right? Right? You pulled on Noelle’s banner 10 times, only getting her, a sword called… Flute? and some 3 star weapons that you figured wouldn’t help you for long. You equipped The Flute on the Traveler, tested it out a bit, and set off to the three temples.

 By the time you were done with Amber’s, you decided that you were absolutely not going to follow any instructions the system gave you. No one can tell you what you can do!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaeya was… perplexed, to say the least, when he prepared to walk up to Amber and a traveler she was with. For a split second, he could have sworn he saw everything turn gray, and strange, colorful, circles appeared around everyone’s joints. Already, he wondered if he was hallucinating, but then he heard the sound of someone cheering that felt as if it was coming from the traveler, but he didn’t open his mouth. Amber didn’t seem to react to it, either. That meant either neither of them noticed it, or he was seeing and hearing things. Assuming it was the latter, he continued on, making a mental note to keep watch of it.

“Hold on Amber, are you perhaps forgetting to introduce us?”

“Oh… right. This i- Thes-”

‘From afar? Is that all we know of them?’

“Surprisingly, yes.”

That voice! Again, but this time, it directly replied to his thoughts. Was it not a hallucination? Just what in Teyvat was this? He had a strong feeling that it was connected to the Traveler, but how could it see what he was thinking  just then? He needed to investigate this, that’s for sure.

“Long st-”

“I see. Welcome to Mondstadt - though you haven’t arrived at the best of times, I’m afraid.”

The Traveler had been separated from his sister, and came to Mondstadt looking for help finding her. He knew how he felt. When Diluc left Mondstadt for all those years, he spent every day worried, wondering if he would ever return.

“I understand the anguish of being separated from family. I’m not sure why you’re looking for the Anemo God�� but everyone has their secrets, right?”

“You need someone to talk to, man, I’m all ears.”

The voice was… comforting him now? Interesting.

Who was this traveler? He certainly wasn’t your average tourist. He’d taken him, his… companion, and Amber to the Knights of Favonius headquarters to see Master Jean, and while that conversation went somewhat normal, the atmosphere quickly became… unnerving as soon as it ended. The others stood still in the room, not saying a word. After a few moments, the Traveler left the room, and Kaeya could swear he saw him swinging a weapon in the main hall, but if he was, why didn’t any of the other Knights stop him? 

Waiting at the Temple of the Wolf, he thought about his experience earlier. He realized that Amber never finished a sentence, but somehow he understood everything she said. Amber never told him the Traveler’s story, yet he knew it. Did that have to do with that voice? That strange presence? It didn’t seem like it was intending anything bad by the way it spoke to him, but this whole situation was just so… strange. 

Kaeya walked around a bit and cleared the area of any potential threats, and after what felt like an hour, the Traveler finally arrived at the temple. He honestly was expecting him to take longer, considering he likely helped Amber first, but it was a surprise to not have to wait quite as long as he thought. How long did it take him to get there? He was a long way from the city of Mondstadt, yet he couldn’t even remember the journey to get here now. Could everything strange he’d experienced be caused by that presence? Hallucinations, memory issues; just what was going on?

“You’ve arrived,” he said, slightly hoping that voice didn’t respond and that it really was all in his head. “Come closer. Do you smell that?”

Unfortunately, it was not, in fact, all in his head.

“How in the world do you burn a Pyro Slime?”

‘It’s the smell of burnt Pyro Slimes.”

How did it know what the Traveler was going to say before he said it? Could it be… influencing him in some way? He continued on, wanting to get these temples taken care of so he could have time to investigate this, whatever this is. He watched as the Traveler walked up to the doors of the domain, and… teleported through them? ‘This day just keeps getting weirder…’ he thought, before entering the domain himself.

“Let me show you how the Knights of Favonius conquer our adversaries,” he said. Although he was about to fight, his body relaxed, and a chill went down his spine. He tried to snap himself out of it, but he found he couldn’t move. The hell…? After a couple of seconds, his body sprinted forward, as that voice said “Alright, here we go,” with a sigh. It was behind this, too? What was this? His heart pounded. He was powerless. It could do whatever it wanted with him, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. No one would know other than those affected… Why did he not mention this to anyone before? He tried to fight against it, but he still couldn’t move a muscle.

 It felt as if he wasn’t fully in his body, as if he was only watching as his body was being puppeteered by some unknown entity. What did it want with him? The Traveler really was being influenced by them, wasn’t he? Was he too, being possessed by it? It seemed the entity could only use one body at a time, but while it was using one, the other completely disappeared. 

Forget waiting until this Stormterror crisis was over, he needed to do something as soon as possible, before anyone else was affected by it! It couldn’t keep its hold over him for too long, right? He needed to get back to Mondstadt as soon as possible, to at least tell someone before it takes control of him again. He didn’t want to leave the Traveler like this, but he would have to if he was to do anything about it.

He calmed down a bit, as it didn’t instantly try to harm him, but he started to get concerned for his safety again when the entity made him jump over a pit of spikes in water. The water could very easily be frozen and walked on, avoiding the spikes entirely, and yet it made him jump over the pit. Nothing bad happened, though. Was it that confident in its, and to an extent, his, abilities? Or was it planning something more… violent? After the crystal was destroyed at the end of the temple, he felt like he was back in his body again, the entity no longer having control over him. Still, he didn’t want it to know he was trying to get away, so he started to speak as if nothing out of the expected happened. But why was it laughing?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You knew of a little trick you could do in this next cutscene, the one where Diluc comes out of nowhere and obliterates an Abyss Mage. You chuckle to yourself as you pull up a video.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind OST - Giorno's Theme『il vento d'oro』

03:45 ━━━━━━━⬤──── 05:27

As the Abyss Mage comes out from the shadows, you hit Play on the video and watch as Diluc charges in, the song syncing to his movements. You could swear you saw a confused look on his face, but you assumed you were either seeing things, or that you just misremembered the cutscene. You didn’t remember every single detail, after all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

…Of course that didn’t work. As soon as he left the temple, he fell into the entity’s control once again. It didn’t help that he never saw Diluc leave the temple. If he did, he might have a chance at getting him to notice something’s wrong. It also appeared that he and the Traveler were not the only people it had decided to use as its puppets. At various times, he would be thrown out of his body completely and watch as it uses another. He noticed not only the Traveler, but Amber, Noelle, and for a short while, Lisa. 

It encountered a Ruin Guard at the Thousand Winds Temple. It used Amber to destroy the automaton’s core, stunning it, before using him to counter the Pyro element on it. It got back up again, but it wasn’t up for long before it was defeated, falling to the grou-

*lego breaking noise*

*metal pipe falling*

“*snickering* God, I love having a soundboard…”

What were those noises? Those didn’t come from the Ruin Guard, did they? Were they made by that “soundboard” thing? 

After that, there were an abundance of strange noises, almost always accompanied by the entity laughing. 

 He also realized that it wasn’t killing any monsters; in fact, it even knew some Hilichurlian. Whatever this entity was, it didn’t appear to be intending to harm anything. It wasn’t killing any monsters, and it was giving him equipment that felt like it made him stronger. Did it even know it was controlling him like this? If not, would it continue if it knew?

Regardless of if they knew or not, they continued on, at one point using him to cross the ocean to an island he had never seen mapped before. It took a fair bit of time, considering how far out it was. After a few minutes, what sounded to be a recording of someone’s voice began to play, likely by this entity to prevent boredom.

At the beginning, it brought up what he believed was happening to him now, and went on to say how it might work. How gaining a “character” means the Traveler can now connect to the essence of the person, harnessing their abilities, and how getting more “constellations” gives a deeper connection. He had heard of people having their own constellation, but he couldn’t make any sense of it in this context. While he was very concerned on how people knew any of this, it only further confirmed his theory that whoever this was using his body had not a clue on what they were really doing.

The recording ended up discussing very intriguing things. He was confused on why they were referring to people as “characters” at the beginning, but the whole time, they were referring to Teyvat and its past, present, and future as if it was nothing but a fictional story, constantly mentioning the “plot”, “chapters”, “roles”, and such. Is that what this was to them? The recording mainly focused on the “fate” of Teyvat, and how it could possibly be changed. It had been a topic he had been endlessly thinking about, and this left him with… mixed feelings. On one hand, the Traveler may be the key to changing fate, and it gave him hope that things might actually end well for him. But on the other hand, would he really have to rely on someone else to decide his fate?

They found many chests on the island, and discovered someone’s notebook, which said that something strange happens here in the very early morning hours. The entity seemed confused for a bit, appearing to be looking for something, before sounding disappointed. They did another lap around the island, making sure they collected everything, and then teleported back to near Windrise, still seeming a bit confused. 

They went north to the Stormbearer Mountains, and headed towards a watchtower, likely to get a better view of their surroundings. They weren’t about to get up there without a fight, though. Crossbow-armed hilichurls surrounded the place. Instead of taking them out then and there, they tried to just walk by, finding a good time to climb. He could tell they weren’t prepared for this, that they were overwhelmed. They shrieked as a Pyro hilichurl shot at him, trying to run away from the projectile.

This should be common sense, but one thing he knew about combat; when you dodge, don’t go running directly into the attack.

A flaming arrow hit him right in the jugular, and he was met with a world of searing pain. He didn’t know if it was this entity making him do it, but he let out a scream as it hit. The arrow had disappeared. He stood there, now choking, though his body did not react.  Would this be how he died? By an arrow shot from a hilichurl he could easily take care of if he could just- 

Time seemed to stop for a moment. Suddenly, everything was fine.

No pain, no wound, and he had the taste of chicken in his mouth.

They healed him from what was very easily a fatal wound just like that? That was why they were being so reckless, wasn’t it? 

It had seemed like whatever was in control of him had no clue what they were doing, but how? How could they not know? Surely they must notice that something’s off, right?

At one point, they tried to climb up the Knights of Favonius building with Amber and fell, which caused her to disintegrate. He panicked, but soon after, she appeared again as if absolutely nothing had happened. Apparently, they had the power to revive people they were using, as well as heal fatal wounds. Sure, that was great that neither he nor anyone else this was happening to would have to fear dying, but that meant that if they wanted to, they could kill and revive someone under their control over and over again. It was a good thing they seemed to have no intentions of doing such a thing…

They were exploring for hours, during which time Kaeya’s thoughts mostly consisted of reactions to things they were saying or doing, with a little existential dread creeping in every now and then, wondering if he was ever going to gain back control. The sun went down, and soon after that, they said “Alright Teyvat, I’ll be back to conquer you tomorrow! I’m gonna go pass out!” That was a bit… direct, and he wasn’t entirely sure if they were joking by the “conquer” bit due to the events of the last couple of hours, but regardless, it was over. He nearly fell over after they left, not expecting to suddenly gain back control of his body again. Now, the question is, how does he go about solving this? Before he thought about that, he decided he needed a drink since he had some time to spare, and so he headed to Angel’s Share.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After finishing Lisa’s temple, you were free to explore Teyvat. You spent some time exploring Mondstadt, collecting Anemoculi, before going back to where you started. You knew of that unmapped island, and now that you had the power to ice bridge, you were going to go there. You knew it would take a while, so you put on another video essay explaining a Genshin theory to listen to, and began the journey. 

Unfortunately, you couldn’t do everything. You were able to get a bunch of chests, but the quest there needed the time of day to be between 2 and 5 AM to progress. You remembered there being a time skip button, but you looked everywhere and just couldn’t find it. So, you had to go back to the mainland, defeated. Come to think of it, how long was the day/night cycle? It’s been over an hour and the sun’s barely moved. Was the in game time synced to real time? If so, why the hell would they make a quest that can only progress in the middle of the night? You figured that you’re just missing something, and started thinking about something else before you got too stressed out. 

You played for a couple of hours, getting used to the combat system. It was fun, but you felt like the enemies did a bit too much damage. Seriously, one arrow from a low-level hilichurl shouldn’t almost one-shot your character! You felt pretty tired, and not wanting to struggle to keep your eyes open, you decided to log out, and continue your Magical Adventure™ tomorrow.

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

And pass out you did, falling asleep as soon as your head hit your pillow. You ended up sleeping for a while, so by the time you got up, it was already pretty late in the morning. You had some errands to run, so you showered, got ready, and took care of them. 

You had nothing else to do today, so you decided to open Genshin again and continue your adventure. The world loads in, and there you are, with your team of Aether, Amber, Noelle and- hold on where’s Kaeya? Maybe you removed him for some reason. You were pretty tired. You go to the party select screen, and select hi- 

*This character is busy.*

What the hell does that mean?

[yandere-romanticaa]

♥️ 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.

yandere! modern au! genshin men drabbles.

police officer! Kaeya.

He is so frustrating and he is doing this on purpose, you KNOW it. The man has some sort of hidden agenda against you, why else would he keep stopping you literally everywhere you go? No matter how innocent you were he would always dig up something in order to corner you and bully you. There really was no better way to put it, this was just straight up bullying by this point and you couldn't do anything about it. You whined and complained God knows how many times but no one took your claims seriously. As much of a character Kaeya was, he was still a good officer and his track record was more than enough to prove this. Stop deluding yourself sweetheart he'd tell you in that sultry voice of his, he always does these things for a reason.

He just wasn't going to voice them out loud to you.

tattoo artist! Xiao.

The amount of times you stopped by this little parlor was starting to become insane. Your friend kept getting new tattoos non stop and she kept hyping this tattoo artist guy up so much that you'd think he was hanging the stars themselves up in the sky. The smell of smoke engulfed your nostrils sharply, forcing you to wince as you accidentally made eye contact with the small man sitting in the corner, a freshly lit cigarette hanging from the edge of his lips. He had this edge to him that made you curious about him, but his entire aura and posture made the red flags go high up in your head so you decided to sit this one out.

Thanks to your friends loud talking you found out his name was Xiao and he was the one with so called "magic hands" that was going to make her into a work of art. She kept showing him what kind of tattoos she wanted and where they could go, but his answers were so lazy that for a split second you thought he was going to kick you both out. You did notice throughout their entire conversation that he always kept a close eye on you, only ever shifting his gaze downwards if you looked him dead in the eye yourself. Even as he worked you could still feel his heavy gaze stinging the back of your neck, almost as if he was begging you to make the first move and speak up already. He very clearly wanted to tell you something but you never bothered to find out what it was.

Hours passed and they were both done, your friends over the moon with the beautiful artwork that was proudly displayed all over her body. Just as you were collecting your things and we're getting ready to head out you felt a presence behind you, the sensation of a gloved hand slowly tracing random patterns at the back of your arm.

Turning around you were met with Xiao's heavy golden gaze but he wasn't looking at your face but rather he seemed to be laser focused on your skin. His mind was racing with various ideas on how to make you even more beautiful than you already were but from what he could tell you weren't too pleased with his company. That was okay.

He would make sure to mark that pretty skin of yours, one way or the other.

artist! Albedo.

Ever since he stepped foot on campus literally everyone you knew couldn't shut up about the new kid on the block. His name was Albedo and he was an absolute genius. You could not understand why he wasn't placed in a special program of sorts, but according to some rumors he himself actually didn't want to change his current position. With so many great opportunities that were being literally thrown at him you couldn't help but to wonder how his brain worked. He had an awfully pretty face though and you sometimes would catch yourself staring, absolutely mesmerized by his beautiful blue eyes and shiny hair. You only saw him crack a smile on a few rare occasions, only when you'd make eye contact though and you would always curse at yourself whenever he would catch you in this little act of yours.

He liked seeing you so flustered, it was so adorable.

He had no desire to transfer anywhere else if you weren't there. He would often sketch you in class and his room was littered with various portraits of your body and face, all of which were in various positions and clothing which left very little to the imagination. He studied you carefully and would monitor with what kind of people you would associate yourself with. He wasn't too pleased with some of your choices but he could make things work. You were still just a blank canvas after all.

CEO! Zhongli.

He's really scary, isn't he? It's almost superhuman how he manages to get so much done in under a few hours. Does he sleep, eat, drink, live?

You sometimes like to tease yourself that he is actually undead, someone that can't be restricted by regular boundaries that normal people such as yourself suffer from.

You're a new intern at Mr. Zhongli's billion dollar company but you can't help but to wonder whether or not the star you were born under was cursed or lucky. You lost count how many people wanted to be in the position you were in at the moment and you were no different a few months ago, back when you didn't know better. The odd favoritism Mr. Zhongli displayed towards you felt odd but you were a little flattered at the start. He was just so handsome and charming, how could you not? He would call you into his office for the silliest things ever and he just liked to keep you around in general. It was easy to lose track of the time when you would be locked away in his office and he would always get so sad whenever you'd leave.

The attention later took a sour turn once everyone started to gossip about you and things were getting out of hand. Sensing your distress and worries Zhongli made sure that you would not be able to quit this no matter how hard you tried. Everything you need is in the contract, and if you have any issues you are more than welcomed to negotiate with him... If you'd like. ❤️

Aether

To be honest, Aether has a bit of a superiority complex.

He's your first vessel, the only vessel you've never left behind, your favorite vessel to talk through, any important conversations are done through him, and he takes all of those details to heart with the idea that even though he's lost his twin, he's gained a god who will assist him in every step along the way while he's looking.

His favorite way to worship and thank you for your help is to place himself at the forefront of every conversation about you.

He's gained respect from the other vessels as your first vessel and many respect him as your voice piece, speaking on your behalf with everything, from what foods you would favor based off of what you cook most often to what your temples should be designed as based off of which buildings you ooh and aah at the most.

He views himself as an extension of you and your will, and nothing in Teyvat could convince him that he is not the manifestation of what you believe.

Amber

Amber has always felt most at home in the sky, gliding being one of her best and most respected skills.

As the gliding champion on Mondstadt, there really was no one better than her to teach Aether how to glide, and by extension, you.

Amber feels most connected to you when she's gliding through the air, remembering the feeling of your voice surrounding the world around her rather than emanating from the Traveler.

Gilding reminds her of that slight gasp and noise of joy she hears when enjoying the sky.

Reminds her of your concern in that treasure thief's hideout when she jumped across that expanse, she knew there was some way to make it across but your concern simply enforced that she had to try.

Honestly, Amber feels a bit guilty for not recognizing you when you first met, the whispers in the wind weren't her biggest priority until she focused on teaching the Traveler everything she knew about gliding and words in the air weren't exactly normal, however now that she knows, she's thankful you trusted her to teach your vessel.

She's also thankful that because of you allowing her to teach you, she's getting requests from citizens of Mondstadt to help them with their gliding license. You've given her the chance to do more of something she loves and has put the life of your vessels in her hands, she can never thank you enough.

Kaeya

His methods of appreciation might be a bit outlandish compared to the others.

He's seen first hand the response that using The Guide's title garners and he's rather proud of the fact that as a vessel, he can use it freely.

He feels a little bit of shame for the amount of things he's put the Traveler and therefore, The Guide, through, but he doesn't feel too bad about it. He was only doing his job after all.

Mondstadt as a country isn't very religious and Kaeya is no exception. His worship for [Name] is directly tied to how much amusement and strength they give him and each adventure, travel and battle causes him to respect this being just a bit more. 

Kaeya also knows better than to blame The Guide for his mistakes in life and finds it rather refreshing how willing The Guide is to admit when something going wrong is their fault. 

Whispers of 'sorry' and 'that must have hurt' or even 'I promise I'll make it up to you' always soothes any injuries better than food or proper healing and Kaeya takes it as a bit of a compliment how much a god apologizes to him.

Kaeya almost doesn't see The Guide as being a god, but no one else could have that kind of power. The Guide is kinder than any god he could think of and he only hopes they never change.

Lisa

As someone with a much more in place job than most other Knights of Favonius, she can't exactly go out to gather gifts or offerings unless you personally pull her outside but either way is fine with her.

Lisa builds up her own reputation by writing stories and religious texts of you, occasionally interviewing other vessels and especially Aether when he's in town, honestly he never gets a break with how many people ask him about [Name].

Her writings are often for the eyes of the Knights of Favonius only, worrying that if she leans them, people will never give them back and goodness knows how much Lisa cares for her books.

Speaking of which, any chance she has to have you and Aether in the Library, she'll take. Showcasing how nicely she takes care of the Library and showing off her favorite books.

Any books that you show any appreciation for will promptly be taken off the shelves and kept for your eyes only, she would rather be fired from her position than let you down by not having your favorite book and Jean knows better than to fire a vessel from her ranks. 

One day, Lisa will show all Mondstadt what she's written for you but only once she's certain they understand how well it must be taken care of.

AYYY! PAIMON BECAUSE NO ONE WRITES PAIMON! Okay, okay, actual writing, let's do this.

Bonus, Paimon!

Paimon often gets glossed over in regards to you, by everyone honestly, but they seem to forget a key detail, Paimon never leaves.

She's always travelling with your vessels and while she boasts quite a lot, she'll keep the knowledge she has of you private.

She's there every time you pause the game, listening to everything from speaking to other people to when you leave the device online while sleeping.

She knows your name, she knows your favorite foods, she knows your favorite songs. 

Aether might consider himself your mouth piece but Paimon knows more about you than any vessel could dream of, and she has no problem making others aware of that if they threaten her.

Aether might speak for you, but Paimon knows you, even if she doesn't tell your followers everything.

She'll make sure she's heard by you one day, one day you'll realize that if any of your followers truly care, it's the devoted and hard working Paimon.

[chill-pills-yandere-haven]

True Bonds Don't Break Until the end of Time

An: Based off a version of the imposter Au where your characters notice your divinity based on your friendship level with them. I'll tag the creator of this au when I find their @. Sorry that I don't have another triple threat post, just a bit of writers block. I have two other parts of this with the other regions.

This is based off my account where I have friendship lv 10 Kaeya, Diluc and no Jean.

Tw: Light yandere, religious themes, I think that's it but let me know if you found more.

A star.

A star had fallen from the sky in the middle of the day.

When it fell, Kaeya was busy pestering Diluc as Diluc bartended at Angel's Share, as usual. Diluc served drunken patrons and made sure that everything was going well. It had been a while since Diluc felt the pull of the All-Creator on him, unsettling him a bit.

All it took was for the Creator to make a claim on that suited man from Liyue and he was on the sidelines. At least he and Kaeya had agreed to tell each other all about their adventures with the Creator if the other was benched. It allowed them to live through each other, and on days when the Creator praised either of them, prompted a bit of fighting.

It had just been another one of those days. The sworn brothers fought about who was more appealing in their creator's eyes, each with their choice of drink in hand.

They could almost feel their creator's fall. Both gasped as they felt the warmth of the creator on them once again, yet this time it was different. They were still completely in control, and they were still in Angel's Share, not teleported back to where the Creator left them. It was a pull, a whisper calling to the both of them, "Come find me, I'm home," it said.

Suddenly, the door burst open, showing Mondstadt's best (and only at the moment) Outrider. Amber looked around for Kaeya, finding him right on a barstool, wine in hand.

"Kaeya! We have to go, something has fallen onto Starfell Lake!" Diluc and Kaeya perked up at that, with a look at each other, they knew what they had to do. Maybe it was them.

Maybe their Creator had fallen from the stars.

Once at Starfell, they met with Jean and some other knights who were confronting... Someone. Kaeya and Diluc had never met this person before, yet both felt as though they knew them their whole lives. The pull was so strong, Diluc wanted nothing more than to go up to them and throw his arms around them in an embrace. Kaeya wanted to make sure they were okay and then carry them back to Mondstadt, so he could care for them.

Then there was Jean.

Jean was...

Shouting at them?

It didn't make sense, Kaeya and Diluc both knew that this was their God who they loved since they could love. Kaeya and Diluc got a good look at the person's face and sure enough, it was their beloved Creator. Jean was still shouting at them though. "You dare steal our God's face!? Filthy imposter!"

Steal their face? How could it be when the warm pull they felt whenever they were in their presence was stronger than ever with them. It enveloped Diluc and Kaeya so thoroughly that it was almost nauseating. Nauseating in an addicting, delicious way. Jean was about to kick the Creator.

Right before she could make contact, Diluc swept her leg, causing her to fall and Kaeya shielded the creator with his body. "K-Kaeya? Diluc? What's going on? Why did Jean try to kick me? What imposter?" Kaeya shushed his creator as they rapid-fired questions.

"It's okay, your grace. She's just confused, having never felt your pull before," Diluc explained though that caused the Creator to seem even more confused. They were about to rapid-fire more questions when Kaeya brought his arms around them in an embrace.

Kaeya whispered sweet nothings into their ear as they visibly relaxed in his arms. Kaeya moved one of his hands to cup the back of their head, petting their surprisingly soft hair. Looking back, Kaeya saw that Jean had now fallen to her knees, tears in her eyes and hands on her mouth.

"What was I about to do!? How could I have been so foolish to not recognize them!? I truly am not worthy of them," Jean sobbed. Amber, always such a little angel, comforted her.

"Hey, it's okay Jean. Even I didn't realize it was them and I've been with them for almost all of their journey!" Amber set a hand on her shoulder, consoling her.

"Diluc and I can take care of them. We'll get them to Dawn Winery and they can stay with us there," Kaeya still hadn't moved from his position of embrace with the Creator. Diluc nodded at the statement. Yet there was one thing left unsaid.

"Forever."

[vilithshaven]

I like the villain au a lot, but I wanna really read something about regular sagau tracking down a wandering reader with yandere-level ferocity and more benevolent(or selfish) intentions. Assuming reader lands in Mondstadt, Venti and Kaeya? I think they'd notice something off first and start hunting.

YANDERE FINDING GOD!DARLING FIRST // ft. Venti and Kaeya

Warnings: yandere behavior, kidnapping

We loved making this, yanderes are a guilty pleasure of both of ours lol. Hope you enjoy~

-Vin & Lilith

Venti

Venti knows the moment you appear in Mondstadt because of the winds. They are silent, not talking to them like they used to, and when he tries to order them around, they ignore him completely. It's after he thinks about the last time he's felt his god's presence around him does he realize - it must be your doing. You've come to his city! But why aren't you here now? Why has he yet to see you?

Despite his best efforts to take back control of the winds, they refuse to give up your location. Only after weeks of trying and looking for you does he realize that he can only ever not control them in certain areas. If he has to take a guess, it's because they are keeping you safe.

He doesn't mind it that much. If the winds keep you safe, you're protected and no one else, especially people that want to harm you, can find you that way! It's just really mean of them to keep you hidden from him. He's the Anemo Archon and the God of Freedom. He only wants to meet you!

It has always been his dream to show you his pride, the one nation that learnt to live without a god centuries ago. Knowing that his god has been watching not only him, but even some of the citizens made him incredibly happy. It's only natural then that he'd want to face you directly, right?

It didn't take him long to find you as you were in the Mondstat region admiring the natural beauty of the land. When he first saw your figure in the distance, his heart burst with overwhelming emotions. Admiration, happiness, passion, the absolute need to be close to you, he could barely contain himself when he caught up to you.

His joyful face and voice surprised you when he popped up suddenly, but as he started speaking about worshipping, shrines and you being his oh so wonderful god. It started to scare you a bit.

Venti kept rambling while touching you all over, your face, hair, arms and even going down to your legs. Admiring every single bit of you that he could now touch with his bare hands. He didn't take notice if your suddenly frightened gaze or your tense posture. The only thing that mattered was your skin touching his.

He had you right here in his arms, even as you try to stammer out for him to let go, to let you breathe. He overtook your voice by speaking louder about all the things he wants to do with you, take you on a tour through the city, go visit Dvalin, go to Starsnatch's peak and look at the night sky.

But just with him. Only with him. He doesn't want anyone else to feel your soft skin against theirs and he will make sure of it. Venti will get on his knees and cling to your legs if that means you won't leave his side, he will say how sad it makes him feel and how he just cant handle not being around you, for you soothe his pain.

That's right, you know of his past so surely you know how much it hurt him, you won't leave him right?

Kaeya

Kaeya, unlike Venti, didn't notice your arrival immediately. He's aware of you as a celestial being as he was one of your first vessels, but he didn't have any help to feel your presence.

To him, you guiding him was like a drug. Whenever your presence enveloped him, he'd be all too happy to let go of his control. He allowed you to do whatever with his body; he's all yours. You were a drug to him, even more so than alcohol. So when you left and never came back one day, he started to grow increasingly frustrated. He visited the tavern more and more and picked fights over the stupidest things.

It's only when he noticed Venti's disappearances and spied on him looking for something that he knew something's off. He followws the bard throughout the night, not knowing what he was looking for but if it's something that the ever so open bard had to sneak around about, the cavalry captain was surely curious.

It appeared that the bard had no idea where this thing was that he was searching for, going back and forth checking places, wondering around seemingly in a hurry, Kaeya was growing frustrated at this nonsense. Losing your presence already had him on edge but now he's dealing with a bard running around looking like a chicken who's lost its head.

Kaeya was about to leave and head back to the city, tired from Venti's antics, until he spotted a familiar figure in the distance looking just as lost. His eye narrowed before recognizing you, the very being who makes him crazy, the one that he craves so much.

His heart dropped seeing you, and with Venti nearby there was no doubt he knew you were here. Kaeya made the quick decision to go up to you and drag you away before Venti could spot you, youe sputtering almost alarming the bard of your presence if it wasn't for Kaeya covering your mouth.

Kaeya almost felt regret for his actions if you didn't drive him so crazy, if only you weren't so addicting. He felt nothing but peace as he knocked you out and took you further away, heading into the depths of the forest.

As you awoke you noticed you were tied up, your hand and legs bound by thick rope. Your body was laying against a surprisingly soft surface, the mattress was plush but devoid of any pillows or blankets. Footsteps entered the room causing you to look up only to see Kaeya looking down at you.

He stepped closer to you as you began to freak out, your body flailing in a desperate attempt to escape the tight rope. You began to shout at him, asking him why he tied you up but he said nothing in response.

Bringing a hand up Kaeya began stroking your face with his thumb, slowly tracing over your lips, he only smiled at your attempt to bite his finger. You were like a kitten that got its freedom taken away.

"To have you here with me in the flesh..." he began, voice dropping low in a hushed whisper. "..nothing would ever make me feel as good as you do. Not the alcohol, nor anything else. Just you."

Kaeya leaned down and pressed a loving kiss to your forehead. "Don't worry, love. Soon you'll come to understand that this was for the best."

More for him than for you. But you didn't have to know that.

Historical figures:Chapter 1

Heneral Luna

My idol~...ahem..anyways...

Disclaimer: Reader will not be Heneral Luna, But will have characteristics of said person, And The Actual Heneral Luna will be related to Reader

Warnings: GN!Reader, Mentions of War, Death, Imposter AU(cause yes), angst/comfort,Good End, Mentions of Blood, Alot of Swearing Both Tagalog and English.....as expected

Enjou gets a Cameo cause I love him

As for the translations....you figure it out

————————————————————————

"Hay Potcha Where the Fuck am I?" Was the first thing you say when you woke up in the middle of a grassy field. "Nahulog ba ako Sa Duyan?" Did you fall of a hammock? who knows. Turning around to see no hammock one tree. 'Ay pak shet this isn't our property' you thought finally standing up the Sun in the middle of the sky. Glad your mother wasnt there or whe would've whooped your ass and nagged you for sleeping in.

Getting up and trying not to fall down. When someone tried to shoot an arrow barely missing. "HOY WHAT THE FUCK"

"BY THE ORDERS OF THE CREATOR, SEIZE THE IMPOSTER AT ONCE" the person screamed and a familiar figure walks from behind of the archer....fuck it's Kaeya.

"....Putangina Yoko na.....I think I should run" Son of a bitch You've had enough,you just woke up but that's besides the point. "Look I don't know what you mean Mr. Cavalry Captain...but I'm gonna go"

And then you BOLT. You ran and ran your abdomen started to hurt you reached a forest and took a breather. "Mga Yawaaaaaaa" Assholes, Demons, Ruthless you breathed out. "Your Holiness?"

"AY PUTANGINA MO" you shreiked you Son of a bitch A tall Figure appeared before you. "Your Holiness!" The tall Figure beamed in delight.

"Wait a minute...ENJOU!?"

"They Know my nameee" he squealed like a high school girl. "Uhhh Yea...Anyways I gotta go before Kaeya Catches up to me with Back up"

"Why would he chase you anyways" he asked "Something about being an imposter, Di ko Sigurado" You weren't sure to be honest.

"PREPOSTEROUS! HUMANS CANT EVEN RECOGNIZE THEIR CREATOR" He Gasped. Honestly you didn't give a flying fuck about being called an imposter, It's the Shooting you was the concerning part.

"It's fine it's fine...Anyways Can I stay with you and the abyss? cause I really don't have anywhere to stay at" you asked making doe eyes you probably didn't need to do that and he'd still say yes.

"Well of course your Holiness! One moment.." Enjou said Opening a portal.

Him pulling you in the portal and a moments you were in a ruin like castle. 'so this is what the Abyss looks like inside'

"Enjou...Is that..." A voice called out it was the traveller's twin. After a couple days later in the abyss you got comfortable.

Your now seated in a Library well you guessed it was..you were trying to teach Enjou Tagalog(properly..no jokes) so he can Translate you for Other people. Well it's mostly curses and simple phrases

"so...If I want to introduce myself in the holy la— Tagalog..I Say 'Ako si Enjou, Nalulugod ako makilala ka' right?" He asked God he was Adorable "Mmhm It Means My Name is Enjou, Its a pleasure meeting you" You were proud you also taught him a couple curse words just incase you want to cuss out someone which you wanted to...but no one.......yet.

"Maglakad kaya tayo sa Labas ng Abyss?" You suggested

"Walk outside the abyss? Just us?" He asked happily.

"Yep! I want to go walk around the grass again..and maybe find some of my things...maybe"

~

You and Enjou Were walking...well he was floating..You were walking around Gallesong Hill.

Near the tree you originally woke up at you found a satchel with a book, a thick ass Journal, A modern pen, a random pistol with no bullets, and...YOUR PHONE

"AY PANGINOON CELLPHONE KO" You cried in happiness.

"you just swore...to yourself"

"Hah?" Hotdog.

"You're God?"

"Oh Yea....Anyways"

You open the journal first a photo fell out it was old around the 18 century maybe.

"Oh it's my photo of my lolo...well Great Grandfather actually...well uncle, My Family says I have an uncanny resemblance to him" you held up a photo of Heneral Luna. You looked alike, to the nose, the eyes, the jawline, even at the eyebrows.

"You two do look alike, although you look younger" You nod in agreement, Flipping a page it was a article that at Heneral Luna used. Artikulo Uno. Who ever wrote this journal must look up to him...Like you are...

Then something caught your eye

"Dear Myself, You may doubt it now But you are truly a god, Makinig ka Na tanga ka Ikaw yoong totoo na Diyos. Your Gonna need the Artikulo Uno thing Later probably after reading this. P. s. The book is in Baybayin Have fun Studying it again From (y/n) Luna"

You just started at the last bit "FIRST OF ALL MYSELF JUST TOLD ME TO LISTEN...THEN PROCEEDED TO CALL NE AN IDIOT THEN MAKES ME STUDY BAYBAYIN AGAIN WHAT THE FUCK" you angrliy shouted. Until you heard footsteps.

You and Enjou swung your head to where it came from. "YOU." Someone snarled. They looked like you..just in very flowy clothing....Well crap.

Kaeya and the Knights followed behind them. Then you said

"Hay Panginoon! Eto ba Yoong Walang Hiyang Punyeta na May Kasalanan kung bakit ako ipapapatay!?" Oh Lord, This was the bitch that ordered to hunt you down

"They are, Your Actual. Holiness"Enjou replied with full confidence, The Person Froze.

"Gague Pangit niya, Masakit Makumpara Sakin, Parang Insulte" God Damn, They were a lesser version of you, It felt Gross being compared to them, An Insult.

Everyone froze when you started talking in Tagalog.

"Enjou, Sinusunod ba dito yoong Artikulo Uno" Did they Follow the Artikulo Uno principle here, they did so Enjou nodded.

"Hey You do you know what meaning of Artikulo Uno is, I'm sure you have been abusing that" you asked your poser. They looked terrified.

"Artikulo Uno, Ang hindi sumunod sa utos ng punong heneral ng digmaan ay tatangalan ng rango at ipapatay ng walang paglilitis sa Husgadong Militar" You looked at Enjou after saying it signaling to fully translate.

"Artikulo Uno or Article One, People who disobeyed the Head General of War, will be removed from the ranks and be killed with no proceedings from the Court, or in this case, Their Grace" he smirked under the abyssal Form.

Your imposter started sobbing and apologizing on their knees.

"Shuta Dali matakot, Ano ba yan?" Enjou said almost laughing Well shit They get scared easily What was that

You couldn't hold your laughter. "AHAHahaha— oh that was a good Laugh, then you Guys, You believed Their Words Blindly. PARA KAYONG MGA BIRHEN NA NINIWALA SA PAG-IBIG NG ISANG PUTA" you shouted the quote with full emotional

"Should I translate" Enjou Wispered to you. "Go, I Dare you"

He breathed in trying not to laugh " Directly translated, What their Grace said was....oh dear Your like a bunch of Virgins That believes in loving words of a Whore"

You both Laughed while the knights also apologized profusely.

"Alright Get your Asses together we have Six other nations to convince"

~

It has been a week, a week of studying baybayin now you can read the book fucking finally.

It's also the time where you have to set of the 6 different nations to redirect their belief in their God.

Convincing Liyue was Easy, with the Help of Venti Bring the Anemo Archon He got to Zhongli Alot faster, then to the Adepti then to the Qixing, They handed us Milleleth soldiers to help us, But was had to cut the troops in half when reaching Inazuma and Back, Again Easy with the the Shogun to the Tricomissions, and you came back with more troops and the Electro archon.

It was going great. You were already in the mainland and you guys well some rested in Carts pulled by Horses. You stopped to buy food for everyone, Being a god gave you privlages Free food. You see your troops switching places some to rest and some to guard. You saw Enjou about to fall over in his sleep. You patted his Leg and asked.

"Nakapagpahinga ka na ba?" Has he rested? Judging by his groggy State he has... a little.

"I'm sorry your Grace are we about to head home?"

"May tatlong bansa pa tayong pupuntahan" 3 nations to go to, and you were only half way to Sumeru

"With all due respect it's midnight" He said Groggily.

"Kaya bilisan pa natin" You said giggling. Guess we should speed up

Maybe this life wasn't too bad.

GOOD LORD FINALLY IM FINISHED

Hope you guys enjoy

Enjou Cameo my ass this is a Reader and Enjou Duo fic

[kaeyats]

 ʕっ• ᴥ • ʔっ dating modern au kaeya, fluffy headcanons ! !

[ warnings: cursing (from me, not from kaeya) ]

[ reader's gender is not specified, as with most of my works. requests and imagines in my ask box are appreciated, but will take a while. :D ]

⍣ fun-filled shopping sprees, kaeya would be absolutely supportive of your choice of aesthetic. although he is the most encouraging boyfriend in the whole god damn world, he isn't afraid to give you some straightforward criticism about what looks and what doesn't look good. he has impeccable fashion taste after all. time spent on mall trips are usually split equally between the two of you, with kaeya taking just as much, sometimes even more, time trying out clothes as you.

⍣ expect this man to sling his arm over your shoulders affectionately as you walk from store to store. walks are never silent or tense, they're always filled with laughter as kaeya jokes about something in the background and you two share back-to-back teasing banter. and they're filled with affection too, of course. if he isn't holding any bags, expect to be smothered with hugs from the back. if he is carrying bags, again, expect an arm over your shoulder or his arm hooked with yours. and yes, he randomly says 'i love you' out of nowhere or just lovingly stares at you in the middle of talking, like you're the shiniest mora in the bunch.

⍣ when you two have to stop for quick snacks together, he'll absolutely order for you. most of the time he gets the order right because he's an attentive boyfriend and loves it when he can do things for you (acts of service, ehem). when he gets the order wrong, he'll secretly get disappointed at himself and feels absolutely motivated to get it right the next time. i'm pretty sure he'll be able to laugh it off with his charms, but something about it feels off. you try to reassure him that it's fine, that a small mistake wouldn't make you love him any less.

⍣ you spend HOURS inside the mall, jumping from one store to another. just entering everytime you see anything nice inside. i can absolutely see kaeya basking at aesthetic accessories, your fashion sense feels inferior whenever he chooses to purchase something. your legs are sore after all the walking, it's sore every single time you go on a mall date, but kaeya's teasing and sweet remarks keep you going. he'll treat you like a fucking angel everytime you come out of the changing room, shamelessly showering you with compliments and flirty lines in front of other people. it doesn't help that when HE comes out of the dressing room, he looks like an absolute GOD in the button-ups he keeps buying and you know for a fact that all the salespeople nearby are drooling over him.

⍣ sometimes he takes you on a ride on his motorbike in the middle of the night, especially when he notices that you're upset over something. the fresh air hits you like a refreshing hot shower does and suddenly, all the awful things in life that once bothered you were nowhere to be seen. kaeya's muscular body feels snug against yours and you can't help but hug him tightly from behind, feeling the hardness of his back against your front and the firm abs on his front. he smells like kaeya, and the thought alone calms you. he smells like home and being so close to him makes you feel safe. as you zoom through the bright city lights, you sigh contently as you feel kaeya chuckle against you. you can't hear what he's saying, but you felt happy hearing him he so happy as he makes loud noises driving through the empty streets so late.

⍣ you realize something staring at the beautiful man, kaeya is home, your home. and the absolute thrill you feel when he takes you out for rides along with the absolute warmth you feel being with the love of your life is a blessing next to no other. it's just a lovely evening, over all. the beautiful night sky and the buzzing city underneath your gaze from the mountains he took you to were.. beautiful. not as beautiful as kaeya though. kaeya whose loose ponytail is messier than usual. kaeya who is handsome no matter what he does. kaeya whose leather jacket fits him so well, it's almost unfair. kaeya who stares at the view so happily, it makes your heart soar. you hug him at that very moment, no words needed as you realize something when he kisses the top of your head, you love this man and he loves you, more than anything.

Act One - Agony

All it took for all of the citizens of Tevyat, was to step into their Homeland.

You, who adored the game ever since you've gotten the game. Became an enemy to the eyes of the people.

"Please, I didn't know!" you pleaded, hands shaking as they were clasped in front of your chest as you pleaded mercy.

Jean, the acting-grandmaster, merely eyed you like you were the scum of the Earth. Maybe you were, in their eyes.

"You dare claim innocence wretch? You have broken Tevyats sacred laws regarding our sovereign. And for that, you're sentence is execution.

"No, Jean! Please, I didn't know I looked like your god! I can change! Please give me another chance!" You cried, scrabbling to the blonde.

Your injuries had left you unable to walk, the running, the arrows and the slices, all the damage left intense scars to the point it ruined the muscles.

Jean backed away, a clear look of disgust resting on her face, "Do not touch me vermin. Repent for your sins in front of our god."

There, standing amongst the crowds was a majority of the characters, watching.

However, standing at the front of the statue that looks exactly like you, were the Archons.

Raiden Shogun was standing at the side, however it was Ei that was standing next to the retired Geo Archon with the Anemo Archon at the other side.

"No, no, no, is it wrong to look like someone from just genetics alone!?" You looked around, looking at everyone in the eyes.

Ayaka merely closed her eyes and unfolded her fan.

Amber watched with narrow eyes.

The Traveler was no where in sight.

Ningguang had her arms crossed, her expression blank, but her eyes held distain towards you.

Thoma, who was beside Ayaka, continued to hold his small smile, but his eyes were frigid.

Diluc had his jaw clenched, his blood red eyes glowing with anger, directed at you.

Strangely, Albedo and Kaeya were also not there.

"Anyone could look like your god!" you tried to reason them, hoping to at least gain someone on your side.

"Enough! We do not have any more time for this nonsense. The sooner we deal with it, the sooner our god would be pleased." Ei ordered sharply.

All resolve within you broke.

You screamed, shrieked, struggled, going into hysterics as you were dragged closer to the statue, your injured legs leaving more blood behind.

"Please.. Please.. Please..." You wept, continuing to ask for mercy, but it was all in vain.

Zhongli stood at the side, holding an executioners axe. His expression was dark in contrast to his bright gleaming eyes.

You always saw them on the screen, amongst all characters, Zhongli had the prettiest eyes.

But now, they looked at you with scorn.

"It is time." His deep voice rumbled out.

Raising the axe above his head, the blade then made it's decent towards your neck.

Before it made contact with your flesh, an ear piercing shriek was heard from a distance, "...Dvalin?" Venti spoke out in a hushed tone, but it caught Ei's and Zhongli's attention.

The sky dragon came flying, and then landed, taking you in his jaw gently, while a voice rumbled, "You dare... CALL OUR GOD A FAKE!?" the ground shook in rage as Azdaha's voice came from below.

"No, this can't be, he shouldn't be able to-" "Break free? Sorry to.. Burst your bubble Morax.." A sickeningly sweet voice cooed, a figure appearing on Dvalin's back.

"Osial..." Zhongli growled, grounding himself.

"I'd say sorry about crashing the ceremony, but that'd be a lie. Thankfully we were released from our prisons thanks to your dearly treasured outlanders.." Osial gestured towards a small group of people.

"Klee?" Jean's voice called out towards the child that was with the group.

The girl bit her lips, tears welling in her eyes while her tint hands gripped her dress, "Why did you hurt our god? Why did you try to force them away?" Klee's voice broke.

"Klee, you're not supposed to be here, Albedo, Kaeya, Honerary Knight, explain yourselves!"

Jean tried to bring Klee back to her side, but ultimately failed when Albedo held Klee's shoulder, who cried and turned away from her old caretaker.

"I cannot sit still and allow you all to kill them, not when our god is right there." Kaeya spoke, his usual mirthful tone gone.

"Impossible, our god hasn't returned in millennia! How can you prove this!?" Diluc shouted.

He should've killed the rat while he had the chance.

"Because I am from Khanri'ah who was the closest to our god!" and then a battle broke out.

Various monsters broke in and sided with the 'imposter' while Dvalin and Osial went out into the sky whilst then others were occupied.

Klee and Albedo made their way out to avoid any damage to themselves as, Klee is a child, and Albedo is to nurse you back to health.

𖣔┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ꕥ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈𖣔

You woke up, clutching the sheets tightly, staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling.

Where were you?

"You're grace! You're awake!" A small, familiar child-like voice exclaimed and a small red figure came onto the bed and peered at you.

" ..Klee..?" Your voice cracked, blinking several times to rid of the blurriness, the child beamed brightly, "I'll go tell Albedo you're awake!" And with that, Klee hurried out of the room.

You continued to stare at the ceiling before slowly sitting up, wincing then threw the blanket off yourself.

Your legs were healed, but still carried scars, you hand several bandages around your body too. You moved to the edge of the bed, place the toes of your feet on the cool wooden surface, taking a deep breath, you pushed yourself off the bed.

When you fully stood, a sharp jagged pain shot through your legs, causing you to collapse.

A broken cry escaped you.

Why did you come here?

Why are you even in this stupid game if they were going to treat you like this.

The door opened and Albedo slowly entered the room with a clipboard and papers, writing on them before looking up.

He dropped everything he was doing and rushed to you, "You grace!" He exclaimed, worry was evident in his face and tone. He gingerly lifted you up and placed you back on the bed.

"Why.." You uttered out as you watched him fret over you, "why did you save me?" You questioned.

He paused, before slowly taking your hand in his own, "Because you're our god."

genshin: childe / zhongli fic recs

other genshin fic recs here genshin fic recs by pairing here personal favorites are starred, by the way. everything is complete unless stated otherwise.

The World Through Your Eyes by leylla (~6k) *WARNING: MCD*

Childe can see that Zhongli is on his death’s door, and he knows that the man himself knows that better than anyone.

So Childe can only snap a shot, and hope that the memory will last forever.

Traveling photographer Childe x Terminal illness patient Zhongli AU

modern setting, zhongli has a terminal illness. it’s really sweet, but also super angsty. the ending broke me.

Blooming in Frost by unrivaled_tapestry (~9k)

Two weeks into his retirement, Zhongli starts coughing up Glaze Lily petals on his morning walk.

hanahaki. really angsty

*no life to be found in barren stone by rysarium (~13k)

Childe turned to Zhongli, about to call out his name, when he stopped and realized the consultant was refusing to meet his gaze. And as he stared at those downcast golden eyes, he finally registered why that color had always seemed so warm and familiar.

The same color as Cor Lapis, that precious rock made of condensed pure Geo. The same color as the glowing scales on the Exuvia’s back. The same color as Childe’s own Geo Vision.

Oh.

All the signs—Liyue’s very own Archon—had been right in front of him all along. Like a fool, he hadn’t recognized a single one.

Childe has a Geo Vision. He will not let that distract him from stealing the Geo Archon’s Gnosis.

*Scatter My Ashes on Your Grave by asthewavesdo, SilentWaves (asthewavesdo) (~16k)

Tartaglia’s previous incarnation was that of a God of War, during a time before the Seven were established and when the Gnoses were split into shards instead of held together as one.

Morax was his servant, then his friend, then his killer.

Zhongli reminisces, until his former lord’s reincarnation suddenly appears back in his life.

pre-getting together kind of. it’s not really about zhongl and childe, it’s more about zhongli and the god he served before he became an archon. kind character study for zhongli in a way. it’s so good, seriously, go read it please!

*Erosion by moolktea (~15k)

There are two things that make Childe who he is–one is his Archon, with her icy fingers and arctic voice and eyes that see into every part of him. The other, as it turns out, is Zhongli.

*to be loved is to be known by growingclouds (~2k)

He sees Vlad and Nadia by the pier, blushing up a storm behind their masks as the backs of their hands brush against each other’s. Childe allows himself an indulging smile at their antics, but his eyes are cold.

Cute, half of him swoons. Frivolous, the other, more rational half says. Childe listens to the latter. He’s here on a mission, not a vacation. Anything not pertaining to the gnosis is a distraction. Childe doesn’t need anything like this in his own life.

Then he meets Zhongli, and both halves of him simultaneously go whatthefuck.

Please Don’t Say You Love Me by relien (~7k; Warning: MCD)

It is a sudden and quick understanding; one minute Childe is sitting before Zhongli, consultant of Wangsheng Funeral Parlour, perpetual daydreamer and the next Childe is sitting before Rex Lapis, God of Contracts.

He’s not sure what triggers the cogs in his mind to start, but once he does, it’s irreversible.

Childe looks up at the sky, as Zhongli rambles on about the origins of a specific chilli in their stew.

The sky is dark with stars.

The air of Liyue is humid with warmth.

Zhongli is Rex Lapis.

*Caught by ZhongliChilde (~52k)

[***BREAKING NEWS*** Constellation’s Zhongli and Tartaglia are Dating? “This just in, Disbatch reporters have supposedly captures images of the two boy group members on a date outside Komo…” Diluc dropped the television remote. “Shit.” There was only one rule idols could never break.

has multiple ships but mainly zhongli / childe and diluc / kaeya.

Grounding by LoadingScreen (~7k)

After the Traveller has gone, and Zhongli is left standing over Guyun Stone Forest, he is left to bear the weight of the passage of time once more. For the God of Earth, he's a man who needs grounding. So someone comes up the mountain to get him.

Post Zhongli Act 1 scene, because I couldn't bear leaving him after the cutscene was over.

yeah, fair enough. the ending of zhongli’s first quest gave me zhongchi brainrot too.

Within the Chasm’s depths, a chained god slumbers  

this fic is so angsty, i loved it.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust by caramelt (~1.5k)

Xiao has seen what Zhongli had been like following Guizhong’s passing. His empty stares as he stood by the vast fields of glaze lilies, lost in thoughts of what could have been and what will never be able to happen again.

And so, to protect the remaining pieces of his Archon’s heart, Xiao decides to find the Harbinger that has caught his fancy.

protective xiao, outsider pov. more xiao and zhongli stuff tho.

[merakiui]

Something caught my eyes in manhwa au, so in manhwa au the kingdom is governed by royal family with Childe as the crown prince right? The harbinger also occupy important position in government (bureaucrat, the prince personal assistant) but then there's Diluc as the Duke, Kaeya as the knight, Albedo as the mage. All mondstadt character is also in the kingdom and they're also an influential figure

So what if, the kingdom is a mix between snezhnaya and mondstadt? Maybe snezhnaya (fatui people) Wage a war against them and they won so now the land is theirs. And the mondstadt character is the native people and now want to steal their glory back by silently planning to dethrone the royal family (maybe just Diluc and Kaeya tho)

And just imagine forgotten God! Venti, who hides his identity after his failure to protect his land and defeat against snezhnaya goddess Tsaritsa, who's also the current goddess worshiped by the people of the kingdom. Maybe Diluc found him and take him in to join him in his quest of vengeance and then he meet you and now he's started to questioning himself whether he have to join Diluc or stay as a normal human, but if he join him then he will have the chance to meet you more so....

OOH and just imagine the tension between Diluc, darling, and venti. Diluc who's now tempted to go against his own God just so he can keeps his wife to himself, venti who finally found a new reason to join the resistance (and maybe take his rightful place back), and of course poor darling who got caught up in these guys antic

What's even more troublesome is that Venti is so carefree about everything he does and only ever gets serious when certain situations call for it. It's common for him to pop in completely unannounced whenever he feels like it, and everyone always wonders how he manages to slip past the guards who have been assigned to protect you when Diluc is not home. Venti loves to visit you in the late hours of the night, when the moon is high and bright in the sky, and he'll serenade you with the most beautiful melodies. In the beginning, you found his persistence bothersome. But his voice and his ability to play and perform flawlessly are things that leave you enchanted.

Now you look forward to his nightly visits and you'll stand at the balcony and wait for him to arrive on wind's gentle current. Diluc won't approve of it when he finds out, but he doesn't have to know. After all, Venti did tell you with a playful wink that it was to be a special secret kept between you and him.

Genshin: When you’re cold [V1]

Whenever I write these it’s always when I have a pile of requests on my desk that I said I was going to get to but never do. I even missed a day yesterday because I crashed and burned and slept the entire day haha. Might miss today too since I’m going out to see my mum. 

This is like 90% crack and 10% actual content. I’m gonna post this and proceed to have shock therapy and wipe it from my memory.

I just want to be happy and it’s cold af where I live. I’ve also learned from maagdalen that Russia is insane with snow.

Today’s appreciation post goes to asoundofdrop. Ty for the love on the Childe HCs hehe. Honestly, just the fact you tag everything blows my mind because I hate tagging so just seeing you do it with my mess of tags (back when I screamed my feelings before tumblr dropped the ban hammer on me) is like wow. That’s some next level effort, wish I had that haha;; I’m just gonna say this in advance, I am so sorry for the mess of tags I’m about to drop on this.

Xiao

Excuse me? What is this cold you speak of? He’s an adepti he doesn’t know what cold is. Is it a demon he’s not aware of? Should he go beat it into submission if that’ll make you feel better? He’s already gone with his spear and out to go slay this cold demon before you can explain what the hell temperature is. 

By the time he’s back, he seems so proud of himself for killing a dragonspine yeti that you don’t have the heart to tell him that was literally not what you wanted or expected him to do. Your fingers are about to break their finger kneecaps. pLEASE sir just hold my hand. 

Bad idea, he’s been outside in the cold and he’s not exactly wearing mittens so your fingers end up colder. But you’re finally holding his hand that you suck it up and cry when he does actually break your fingers because he doesn’t know what muscle control is. 

Keqing

Ruthless business woman one second and then you show up, tell her you’re cold, and she’s reduced to flustered mother hen. All she has on her are these long sleeves that all Qixing wear. Would you like some warm milk? She knows you like your milk heated to a simmer right at 187.7975 degrees Fahrenheit.

Okay, first off, who measures in fahrenheit anymore this is China Liyue. Second off, how the hell does she know that and why is it so precise? She’s already throwing whatever Liyue duties she had back at the poor worker that has no idea what possessed the normally confident and admirable Keqing into this...creature. Making new plans for a heating system in Liyue while also coddling you. 

Catch her outside at 3am pounding the snow ground, crying, as she curses Rex Lapis for making it so cold in Liyue when he’s not even the Cyro archon. Zhongli sneezed while looking over papers burning the 3am oil. Maybe he needs to go home before it gets too cold, he might be getting sick. 

Diluc

God you’re such an idiot. Didn’t you see how hard the snow was falling? I can’t believe I married someone with 2 braincells. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? What would father in the sky think if my partner died because of frost bite when I’m a goddamn pyro vision user? I can commit arson to make a make-shift fire place, I have the money for the damages. 

Dilu- NO I DON’T NEED YOUR SHIRT. IT’S -20 DEGRESS. IT’S OKAY. YOUR COAT IS ENOUGH. PUT YOUR CLAYMORE AWAY WE CANNOT SET THE KNIGHTS OF FAVONIUS HQ ON FIRE WE AREN’T EVEN NEAR THERE. KAEYA IS INSIDE- DILUC - NO COME BACK. 

Your make shift fireplace is Kaeya’s “ugly” scarf. That’s it. That’s the post. 

Amber

Oh you’re cold? It’s okay, here take her baron bunny to cuddle with while she lights a fire. She thinks she saw some boar’s in the forest, she can make her specialty and that should warm you right up! So sweet, so wholesome. Don’t worry this baron bunny won’t explode in your face, she tripled checked she wasn’t giving you a dancing bomb.

While you’re huddled around a summoning circle of baron bunny’s, nice and warm, is when she relaxes and joins you. She grins to herself and pats herself on the shoulder. See that haters, she can make her partner nice and happy without your #buffamberwhen. 

Kaeya

You’re cold? Maybe you’ve just fallen so hard for him that whenever you think of him you get cold. He never knew you cared so much it’s so cut- okok you can stop hitting him now. He’ll offer his scarf if he had one but Diluc might have burned it but he does have his tit window. 

Basically impenetrable, you could bounce bullets off it so naturally the cold bounces off. You have to tell him up front that he sound borderline crazy and the fbi are already at his door. The fbi is Diluc. So instead he offers his overcoat and asks you if you would like to join him in some cozy tavern that hopefully has heating. 

It’s a nice and comforting experience until he drags you to Angel share and you know it’s just to 1v1 Diluc in the parking lot. 

Scaramouche

lol perish 

So naturally, you grab his ridiculous hat that he wears to compensate for his gremlin height and throw it like a frisbee. 

Go fetch 

---

God, why is there no official content of you scaramouche you bitch, you’re ruining the aesthetic. This is why I only give you one point of dialogue. This isn’t even funny. It’s a therapy session. This entire post was just for me to say tit window because I didn’t get to say it in my last Kaeya fic. 

Wow, I wonder which characters I like in genshin. Could it be “wow I hate everything and everyone don’t fucking touch me” male characters??? Could it be “Head strong but are secretly adorable” female characters?? Kaeya is only there because Diluc is there. 

I had to redo all my headers because everyone was taking up so much space in their 240p quality. Keqing is the only one that actually stepped forward when it was picture day. I don’t have enough energy to care about sizing I’m sorry.
