#KaishinGenshinAU♪

Joined a Secret Santa event this year and got prompts for our ship! Naturally, I had to pick the hardest out of them cause I like to make myself miserable lmao- (TvT) Anywho! I originally signed up as an artist, but since the person who wanted this was good with ANY type of media, I took my creative liberties and began writing down potential plot too! Hope you enjoy them because I'm not done yet and this is just a preview before your ACTUAL Christmas gift, dear @ilsepfefferminz! Have a very happy holidays in the meantime, okay? ;-)

Plot Summary:

The Anemo God saw how dangerous it is for anyone with malicious intent to hold magical jewels as they please (specially like that of Dvalin's tears), so he appointed someone to make sure those gems never reach the hands of evil. They can go about it however they like as long as they don't cause harm and the disciple they appointed chose to be a phantom thief. Unbound by mortal rules and laws. It started with his mother, then his father who was killed by a gang of bandits aiming for a specific gem of true eternity (that the Kurobas have never even heard of before then), and thus, it was a title passed on to their prankster of a son, Kuroba Kaito. Who studied from Sumeru (and absolutely obliterated the top scores at the Academia) and went back to Mondstat to become a carefree travelling performer after getting sick of studying for tests he could answer in his sleep, only to find out the truth of his lineage. Gaining the blessing of a certain bard and taking up the mantle, he becomes Teyvat's notorious (yet beloved) thief reincarnated, the guardian of any and all celestial gems, and the thorn to every sort of authority that challenges him, Kaitou KID.

He got the Anemo God's Blessing with a game of Poker. He won (and cheated), but Venti was a good sport about it. In fact, he found his guts to go against (and cheat on) an Archon to be hilarious and the bard DID agree to a FREE game so- ce la vie. The two of them got along like a house in the eye of a sentient hurricane. Not only because of their cheerful performer disposition, but also because Kaito can truly understand how the Anemo God feels about taking the place of someone once so adored and revered. It's a heavy burden. One that Kaito can also share.

Shinichi Kudo is a detective from Inazuma. His father rushed him to Fontaine in the guise of furthering his detective career when they heard early tales of a civil war coming about. Though danger knows following brilliant minds bring about entertainment as Shinichi soon found himself in a middle of a case that was as simple as finding a lost item for a (weird, but cunning) pyro catalyst (still being bitterly rejected by the Hexenzirkel) witch named Akako as a commission. Only to be forcibly corrupted by said missing item, a scarlet doublet gem, when a notorious bandit organization incidentally crossed his path during his investigations and decided to test the Prototype Pandora Poison (4869) on him in the form of a new yet undetectable potion. Finding out that instead of demise, it grants him the gift of longevity... at a price. His age was reduced in half and slowed to a snail's pace. Granting him the painfully long life and appearance of a young nekomata. A youkai who lives their days full of deathly screams and offers no peace despite his "blessing" of near immortality. To break the curse, at night he ventures to seek the same type of gem that brought his misfortune. For only when the moon rises does the poison in his blood give way for his true self to reappear for a time. Only then would he not have to hide behind the glasses & name of one childish, mischievous, yet eccentric: Conan Edogawa.

Some time ago, a young(?) dendro bow (in place of a gun) user named Haibara (with a knack for alchemy and brewing the deadliest potions- who was once offered a seat at the Hexenzirkel -which she boredly declined) revealed to Conan the description of the rare (legendary even) celestial gem that was added in the mysterious potion that the bandits used to curse him. If it could do that, then it'll most likely be needed for the reverse engineering process of his cure as well, she says. Thus begins his journey of traversing the countless domains of every nation at night and stumbling upon death after death in the day. (Even gaining unlikely allies from like minded folks such as a Natlan pyro claymore user named Hattori Heiji and a Fontaine hydro sword user named Hakuba Saguru.) Though it's disturbing, really. To be a detective that detest murder and yet to live in Teyvat, a world where slaughter is a means of one's own daily survival. Necessary and often morbidly understood, accepted, or encouraged. A world where nekomatas like him can barely take a break from the amount of killing that just happens everyday. The night have become his only relief. The only time to breathe and wherein he can actually curve the call of passing souls without feeling the suffocating obligation to solve their murder and lay them to rest as Shinichi Kudo should be a mere human who can't instinctively feel when someone dies from a fair city away. Far out of his reach. Still, it shakes his morality. Test his faith. In himself, in humanity, and in the gods. Remembering how he got his vision as he was being poisoned. Believing he's at the brink of death. Thinking how desperately he wanted for a little more time to exact his justice on those who wronged him... Just a little more time... And now? With the same power that drove his country to war at his fingertips? He's sick and tired of the irony of Eternity.

To think... That he'd find a man of morals similar to his own- one that despises murder with a burning passion -in the mind of a criminal most annoying of all people! He can still recall their first meeting at Fontaine. Detective Shinichi would just like to clear out some domains and check for a certain type of gem, if only that stupid thief won't stand in his way. KID's just here to do his job (and also find a certain gem to maybe get some rightful revenge on the side), thank you very much. But he must admit, the mysterious and evasive Detective of the East (who only appears at night- what's up with that-) can be very entertaining to match wits against.

On the other hand, when morning comes, Conan wonders what he did to deserve this. As a nekomata, he has his needs and being feline meant a new craving for fish and not just the celestial ambrosia that is coffee. Who knew then that he'd instead be catching a notorious prankster, once drowning in the water for unspecified reasons (by that, we absolutely mean that he's looking for a gem, though tantei-kun doesn't need to know that) and screaming bloody murder to all finny things, when he went out to go fishing that fateful day? Then later, said genius performer insisted on being the first member of his party (whether he likes it or not) as a concerned citizen who took upon the self-appointed duty of looking out for impressionable (albeit admittedly brilliant) children left on their own. To be fair, Conan thinks the guy is also, technically, a stranger. But time and again, Kuroba proves to be trustworthy enough. Still, why does Kaito-nii seem very curious about his distant "cousin?" And why does he remind Conan of that one silly fairytale from Sumeru of an incorrigible street rat that found a genie and became a prince in white lies? Curioser and curioser.

(Random fun fact. If Kaito can get along with Venti, Conan would probably get along with Diona if he ever paid a visit to the homeland of that stupid thief. It's because both Diona and him are young nekos who share a deep hatred for alcohol for one reason or another. He also gets along with Qiqi. What with their connections to death and aversion of Hu Tao. The director interested in the kid's ability to find corpses. Wanting to use it for her profit.)

(Shinichi's dad works for the Yae Publishing House as an award winning mystery novelist. Yuusaku and Yae Miko loves to terrorize either their editors or their readers and make a great (terrifying) team for it. Yukiko was an actress for the all-female Takarazuka Theater Troupe and she excels at both gender roles. The Phantom Lady is from Fontaine & both families feature a lot on the front pages of the Steam Bird. (That is before the Traveler.))

Now here's the tough question, if you can only have one, who would you pull for? XD
