#My Joyful Saurian

[wandering-tides]

He is a baby. And a dragon. Who was being beaten-

And has a dead mother-

...

Anyway, I think it is fitting :p

Well technically speaking, he is not a Dragon but rather an evolved form of Dragons- Saurians to be exact. But hey, I still hope he grows up happy and healthy.

He is such a little bundle of happy energy- he is adorable and I love him. My little joyful Saurian

The quest really came out of nowhere and slapped me in the face as soon as I stepped into Natlan- I panicked. Lmao. I couldn't really think of anything at the spot. But then a friend of mine named his Saurian Roksoo. And another one named hers Alberu.

So I decided to name mine after a TCF character too. lol. I was initially thinking of Choi Han, but then I decided to name him Raon instead.

So it's a trio of dad, uncle and kid. XD

(Oh. They all grew up without mothers-)

Really hope they let the Saurians interact with each other during co-op... But that's just wishful thinking.. :(

nights like this i wish

cw. 5.3 spoilers, post-natlan archon quest, established relationship

pairing. kaeya alberich x black!fem!reader

synopsis. with the natlan's war with the abyss over, you're finally able to visit your lover's home in mondstadt.

notes. one of the few level 90 characters i have, that's how you know he's a real gem. i haven't written much for kaeya which is a shame when he's my favorite male character in the game and the reason i installed in the first place. so i wanted to write a little drabble for him

"And how are you enjoying your first night in the Land of Freedom?"

Nights are different in Mondstadt.

Crickets singing through the night, the occasional howl from Wolvendom. It's a stark, gentle contrast to evenings in Natlan where it's more common to hear the distant roar of a saurian than a wolf. The throaty rumble of Tollano. Or if you were incredibly unlucky, the declarative war cries of the Abyss. The last of which, fortunately, will no longer again plague your homeland. Nor are you restricted to remaining in your homeland's borders in order to avoid straining the Wayobs.

It's nice; Mondstadt is nice.

"I love it," you beam, falling back into the soft grass of Starsnatch Cliff. It's an aptly named location, you realize. Reaching out your hand, it really does feel like you can snatch the stars right out of the skies. If you ate one, what would it taste like? A giddiness that makes you feel like a child again sweeps over you much like the winds Mondstadt is known for. Kaeya chuckles, watching as you snugly press yourself in the grass. "It's beautiful. I'm happy I can finally see where you grew up."

Mondstadt has welcomed you warmly. In some ways, it reminds you much of your own home.

The poetic words of the bards are much similar to those hailing from the Flower-Feather Clan.

The laidback nature of the people is akin to those hailing from the People of the Springs.

In some ways, Natlan and Mondstadt seem inherently connected. The land of wine and song touched in Natlan's colors. You've wanted to visit long before you ever were aware there was a man named Kaeya Alberich in Teyvat. The founder of the Knights of Favonius hailed from Natlan, after all. From a time before the Night Kingdom, no less. Still Vennessa and her tribe found sturdy roots in Mondstadt, much like the giant tree nestled in Windrise.

Now here you are surrounded by the soft scent of cecilias rather than embercores.

I was born in a lucky lifetime. You never were one much concerned with matters dealing with luck. You aren't able to find any other word to describe it. You were born into a time where you would experience Natlan's victory and live to enjoy it. You'd been lucky enough to come across a gentleman from Mondstadt visiting the Collective of Plenty and Natlan's wine industry.

All these things leading up to where you are now.

"Thinking good thoughts, I hope," Kaeya's deep voice pulls you from your thoughts. He's not wearing his eyepatch for once; a rarity in itself. The starry sky is enough to illuminate his face, though, it isn't absolute. The shadows of his hair still work to keep his scar mostly hidden from your sight. It's still an honor he's comfortable enough to show you, regardless.

Playfully, you give him an incredulous reply, "do you doubt they're anything but?"

"I don't know," he teases, voice wine sweet. "You might surprise me. 'I've already grown tired of the sight of windmills, Kaeya. Take me far from this place. I'm ready for the mountainous terrain of Liyue.'"

"Take me there for Lantern Rite," you giggle, rolling onto your side. You pat the grass between you both, a silent offer. Somewhere between joyful and tired, you watch as your lover adjusts his positioning to lay beside you. "Thanks for hosting me while I'm here, Kaeya. It means a lot just being here."

"Hey now," Kaeya tuts, poking your forehead in his teasing. "What man wouldn't host his girlfriend after she comes all the way to his country?"

"I could have stayed at a hotel."

"Adelinde would kill me before you have a chance to meet her tomorrow if I did that."

That steals another laugh from your lips. You heard many a story about the head maid of the winery Kaeya grew up in. Tomorrow you'll finally have a face to the name. "I'd make sure to vouch for you so she wouldn't. I just don't want to take too much time away from your work."

Long distance is difficult for any couple. Considering Natlan's until recent restrictions, you are sure it was doubly more so for any coupling where half of the party was from Natlan. You'd seen a few relationships crack under that pressure. With Kaeya's own job as a knight keeping him busy, it is anyone's guess as much as yours that you were able to last this long together.

It's a relief.

It's a feeling that's warm.

The smile on Kaeya's face matches it, "you're never a bother to me."

"Even when your friends thought I was your totally-real-Natlanese-girlfriend?"

You both share a laugh at that. Outrider Amber had been more than certain that Kaeya had been making you up all this time. "Especially then," you're sure his diamond shaped pupils are sparkling. "It made their reactions that much more satisfying."

[glitterguts13]

Omega Kinich suffering infertility and Ajaw is trying to comfort him but being around Saurian Eggs made it worse, Mulani and Kachina are both easing his pain and his body is starting to change, such as experiencing false pregnancy which hurts him more as various Saurians have him around their young to tend while out hunting.

I am in the mood for angst, so let's make this one hurt, yes?

"Are you just going to laze about?" the voice is high and shrill in his ear, "Sulking because you didn't get what you wanted?" gritting his teeth, Kinich brings his knees closer to his chest, face buried against the palms of his hands.

It hurt.

The emptiness in the pit of his stomach burned, hollow and void. Heat crept under his skin, eyes aching from all the tears he'd shed the last few nights. It felt as if he had weights wrapped around his neck and arms, muscles refusing to obey when he begged them to loosen

His body is twisted around a clutch of Saurian eggs, warming them against his skin and clinging to them for dear life. It hurt to be so close to the little unborn lives, but it hurt far worse to pry himself away.

"Ajaw, please," Mulani's brow knits in concern as she bats the 'almighty' dragon lord aside, "Kinich is in pain, have some sympathy."

The small creature 'hmps' and pops out of view.

"Here, drink this." a glass of warm, deep maroon liquid is brought to his lips, and Kinich obeys, opening his mouth and swallowing the sickly sweet nectar.

"This should help ease the various aches and pains. Kachina brought some sleep aids too if you feel like you need them."

The liquid sits heavy on his tongue, his stomach churning violently.

"It isn't....fair," tears threaten to spill over once more, and the words hurt as they fall from his lips, "Why...is my body broken?"

A small hand pets his hair,

"You aren't broken Kinich." Kachina soothes, forcing a wide smile. The site of the young girl only stirs that painful longing in his chest once more.

Would his children have been as joyful and bright as her?

Could he have raised such a strong child?

"An Omega...has one true duty...and my body can't fulfill it."

"Stop that," Mualani chides softly, "Your worth is not defined by your ability to bear children. So many people depend on you, so many people love you."

A broken sob finally spills over.

Kinich hates this feeling.

Like he was a child once more, running to his mother for comfort, unable to handle the scary truths about life.

"It hurts-"

"I know," Mualani whispers.

Groaning, Kinich finally unfurls from around the eggs, one hand pressing into the tensing muscles of his abdomen.

"Why-it won't stop-"

"Shhh," Kachina shares a worried look with the hydro user, "Should I go fetch a healer?"

"No...there isn't much they can do for him," the pity in her tone sends a chill down Kinichi's spine, "His body is just...angry."

That was putting it lightly.

Trying to expel a baby he would never carry.

Cruel, nature was just cruel.
