HEMLOOO can I request lyney x gn!reader who is shy and lyney just keeps on teasing them? I swear that boy is a FLIRT
I usualy don't know how to do pick up lines, so I did my best.
Sorry for the wait, I've been busy
"Can I pick you up too?" He laughs leaning against the pole on the railing. You were leaning over the railing trying to catch a flyer that flew up. You didn't realize you almosr flew over, until a person pulled ypu back over.
The people around you laugh as you look away. Before you could blink, he pulls out a rainbow rose.
"For you darling." You could the chesire grin as he leaned in closer. Your face lit up red as you tried to back away. Your back hit the railing as his hand sat itself next to your arm.
"What's wrong, stage fright?" You could hear the cooing from thr old couple passing through.
"I remember when you used to do things like that for me." An elderly woman clutched onto her husband. His returns her smile kissing hwr on the forehead.
"Hey, this is not time for distractions, seriously you have a great magician standing right here." Your eyes met his lilac ones. Purple, mysterious and also mischevious, these things reflect the man ib front of you.
Keep eye contact, he pulls into his hat pulling out a deck of cards. Different carda were held in front of you. Picking one up, a diamond symbol was shown along with a small cat paw. Before you could further investugate, he re took the card.
Instead of reshuffling his deck disappeared.
"So, you're not from around here are you?" Your eyes furrow in confusion. He laughs further explaining.
"Usually, "Magicians," do card tricks like this and while you're distracted they pick your pockets." He holds up your valuable items that you were hiding.
"Hey.. give that back!" You reach foward as the items disappear. He smiles pulling out another object from his pocket. A flyer? He snaps his hands as it disappears as well.
"Countdown with me, 3 2 1." He snaps again looming around before lookong above you. Looking up, objects fall off your head onto the ground below you. Your missing items fell to your feet.
As you get up, you notice the man from before missing, with only a flyer left in his place.
"Lyney & Lynette's Magic Show."
'Performing tonight at 18hrs."
"Sorry for suddenly leaving, I had some things to attend to. I would like to see you again after my show tonight. I do have something to return to you after all."
"I hope you accept my invatation."

Tumblr media
Lyney who has separation anxiety but he tries to keep himself together, so that he doesn’t show it in front of you.
Lyney who likes taking you on small dates randomly when you least expect it. If he's busy with his fatui work, he will make up for it by taking you on a late night date.
You who has to remind Lyney to not burn himself out from his responsibilities, even if it means tying him to the bed.
You who has alot in common with Freminet, and tend to hang out when it when your boyfriend is busy. You bring him beryl conch bracelets that you created. He treasures them and wears them during his day job.
You secretly get a little jealous of Lumine and how your boyfriend acts around her, until he introduces you to her and the jealousy fades. The small words he used to describe her, did not compare to the words he held in admiration towards you.
Lyney who doesn't have the cat features from his bloodline like his sister, but very much behaves like a cat.
You who constantly have to give him reassurance that you love him, as he constantly demands your attention.
You,remind him how much you love him, and won’t abandon him, at the drop of a hat. (Haha pun not intended.)
Lyney who when you first met him, stole one of your items in his disappearing acts, just so he could see you again.
Lyney who hopes that you'll be apart of his family, permanently.

"I don't think I'm built to be the one to love you."
Lyney X Reader Angst 1,528 Takes Place during Act 1 when he his Fatui upbringing came to light because of his trial. I wanted to wait until all the Lyney angsty fics about you finding out he's in the fatui in Act 1 to die down before posting this :p I hope you enjoy, my Lyney fics tag is right here. Have a good day or night!
Tumblr media
The courthouse was in shock as the Outrice Scale decided the verdict for the twins. As he read off the card, hushed whispers exploded throughout the courtroom.
The Oratrice tilted up and turned blue, delivering the verdict.
According to the Judge of the Oratrice Mechanique D’Cardinal, Lyney and Lynette are officially declared not Guilty.
The performance before them causing the courtroom to burst into applause. An hour after the trial ended, word began to spread about the twins. Most were positive about them being declared innocent, while most were negative because of their background and area of work. 
The day during the trial, you were waiting at a restaurant for your boyfriend to arrive from his performance. He had one show today, only from 5-7 pm. Getting close to the time, you made your way to the restaurant.
 "Isn't that the girl who's dating that Fatui?'' The daughter of the nearby merchant came up with the register paper in hand. Going through, she stopped at a specific page. 
"Here she is!" The girl and her father looked back and forth between the paper and you. The stares grew as you fidget with the bag in your hands.
"Uhm, yes, I am Magician Lyney's Significant Other." Instead of smiles and excited gossip, gasps filled the air of the restaurant you were entering. Hushed whispers and glares were sent in your direction as you went to tell them about your reservation.
"Hey, we can't serve you here, sorry." You look surprised, thinking she was confused. Looking around, you see a bunch of open tables.
"But you have space?" She shakes her head, saying that those were reserved.
"You can try a different restaurant." She walks you out of the restaurant, sending you back to the streets. 
An uncomfortable pit sat in your stomach as you took a deep breath to calm down. You can make a different reservation somewhere else, no problem.
Usually, they say that you're lucky to be dating Lyney. Whenever there's a reaction about you being his partner, it's always positive. 
You shake your head and continue onto the next restaurant. You receive the same reaction from the next restaurant. The owner came out to yell at you. This continued on and on, making you more uncomfortable by the minute.
After going through countless rejections, you decide to make your way home. No one would accept your reservations. You hope Lyney isn’t too disappointed by the change of plans. 
As you pass through the streets, a drink is poured over your head. Shocked and embarrassed, you look up, surprised at the group of girls surrounding you.
"That's for my brother!" A girl yelled before kicking you to the ground. Overwhelmed, your eyes get blurry as your breath hitches.
Things get blurry as you hear them mock you for standing up. 
How dare the damn Fatui sit here feeling bad for themselves?
My brother suffered because of you!
You clutch your body in pain as you try to keep your thoughts together.  Rushing through the streets, you try to make your way home. You could hear the insults being thrown by the other people as you passed by them. 
“Demonic Bitch.” A man working at one of the shops mutters as he lets his dogs loose on you. The dog growls and begins to chase you in the opposite direction of where you need to go. 
Some laugh at your circumstances as you rush to find a safe spot. The hotel that Lyney is associated with comes into view; maybe you could hide there for right now. You rush past the hostess and make your way inside. Some rich bystanders look at you as you try to catch your breath. 
“Uhm, Name?” A hostess approached you with a look of concern. 
“Sorry, it’s a bit chaotic out there; can I stay here for a bit?” She nods and seats you before walking off to get your food. Thanks to your boyfriend, you have access to the hotel and even discounts. Since only certain people are allowed in, no one should try to harm you. You looked around at the scenery as you waited for her to come back with your order.
“Isn’t that Lyney’s lover?” 
“Yeah, I heard that ever since people found out about his court case, they started harassing them.” It looks like word gets out quickly around her.
 You see them glance towards you before ending their conversation. You sigh, tuning out the talking from others in the hotel.
You weren’t even sure if Lyney was Fatui to begin with. Yes, that could be true, but rumors can sometimes be wrong. You decided to put that thought on hold until you could locate your boyfriend. 
“Here you are, Name, a fruit tart for you.” She places the food and drink on the table for you. 
“Have you seen Lyney today?” 
“Last I heard, he was still at the Opera Eclaisse. He won't be out until his trial is over.” You nod, thanking her as she walks off to greet the next guest. 
You dig into the food with a small sigh. Hopefully, when you see him tomorrow, this will all be a little misunderstanding. It’s not like he’s actually working for a terrible organization like them, right?
The day changes to night as more customers begin to pile into the hotel. Surely, his trial should be over for the night? You pay for your items and exit the hotel. Some Steambird reporters surrounded the area; once they heard the door open, they turned towards you.
“Name, can we have a moment?” You give a polite smile before walking quickly in the direction of where you live. A few persistent reporters follow you for a moment until they allow you to leave.
Was Lyney really this person that everyone thought was evil? 
As you approach your house, you see it littered with items. Letting out a small sigh, you remove the items before making your way inside. 
You decide to wake up the next day to catch him before he’s on his way to work. Halfway there, he meets you as he and his siblings just exit their house for the day. They freeze, glancing at you before greeting.
“Hello Name.” Lynette gave a polite nod, and Freminet waved a little bit. As soon as they go, your boyfriend and you are alone.
“Hey.. darling.” His hair was a bit of a mess, and his eyes were puffy as he turned to face you. Lyney responds nervously as he approaches you. His hands tap on his arms as he tries to take deep breaths. His eyes stare at something else, as he does not make eye contact.
“Hello Lyney.” Nervously, he looks up, meeting your eyes. His breathing slows down as he takes in your expression before giving his normal smile to you. 
“Can I ask something?” He slowly nods, giving you his full attention. You frown at seeing the sweet look on his face. The adoration he has for you falters slightly.
“Is this about the papers from Steambird?” He grips your hand tightly, almost trying to comfort himself. 
“Newspapers? No, it's about the people from the court yesterday.” A confused look comes onto his face as he stares. You let out a small sigh, recounting the events from yesterday.
His expression evolves from worry to anger before returning to his gentle look. His hand tightens on your wrist with each word that you speak. Your Lyney, who normally looks at you with honesty and sweetness, looked at you guilty. 
"Lyney, do you know what they mean? What is the House of the Hearth?’’ His expression darkens as he lets out a small sigh. 
“It’s where I grew up.” You hold on to him as your heart drops. You remember their words about Fatui.
“The Fatui, are they associated with the House of the Hearth?” He pauses before nodding, confirming the fears you held.
All those things that those people yelled at you for were true, and they weren’t lying. Your heart sped as you backed away from your lover’s hold. A look of sadness spread across Lyney's face as you created distance from him. He reaches out to retake your hands in his, as you cover your ears. 
How dare the damn Fatui sit here feeling bad for themselves?
My brother suffered because of you!
Everyone seemed to know who your boyfriend was before he even told you. Lyney, Fontaine's famous magician, was a child of Fatui. You weren’t even directly involved with the Fatui, other than dating one of the members.
Did the people of Fontaine care? You could spend all your time doing every interview to prove them wrong, only to have them look at you like some thief or evil person. You look up, your eyes meeting lilac colored ones. Did you really want to spend the rest of your life with a target on your back? 
You let out a small sigh walking up to him. His expression lightens as you allow him to relink your hands together.
“Darling, I think it’s best if we don’t see each other again.”

"Oh, a gift for me?" The kids all nod at the same time. One approaches Lyney and pushes the box in his direction.
Lynette and Freminet, who sit opposite him, exchange puzzled glances before returning their attention to the box.
They didn't get him anything for Christmas?
Curious, he opened the box, only to discover that it contains something much more precious to him,than equipment for his performances.
You, dressed in scarlet clothing, resembling one people whom he and his siblings performed with. Your hair is nicely down, and your fearful countenance is disguised as eagerness for him.
"This is wonderful, where did you get this one from?" He spoke as if this was typical, which wasn't entirely wrong.
Fontaine is well-known for its human trafficking, which occurs under the nose of Monseiur Neuvillette.
"A visitor."
"From Sumeru."
Their voices blended together, expressing their excitement. Lyney clapped loudly enough to get their attention back.
"Quiet down, one at a time." They go towards him, getting into position. They kneel and stare up at him.
"They are a Fontaine Visitor, from Sumeru."
They are a architect, sent here on a commission." Before proceeding, one speaks out, looking him in the eyes.
"Their art is definitely something you'd admire. Aunty Lynette, I recall she liked lovely clothes, right?"
"Not only are they an architect, but  also a designer. Lynette's ears perked up slightly before returning to her drink.
He walks forward, inspecting your appearance from front to back before approaching you from behind.
"That is correct. Can you show us some of your designs?" He takes a step back into your line of sight, removing the rope that was bound you.
One of the agents that grabbed you walks forward and hands back your sketchbook. Looking up, you notice their blank expressions as they wait for you to act. One agent raised their hand to their scythe and gave a short warning.
You flip through the pages randomly, some personal paintings being revealed as some agents mumble in admiration.
You hand the designs to the blonde while pushing the sketchbook forward. He smiles briefly before taking it from you. He looks over it and the ones on the page after it before returning it.
"Thank you, these truly are wonderful." The agents breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's your name?" His head tilts as he looks at you with interest.
"(name)." As he approaches, his expression brightens. "Your height, the outfit you adorn, the color of your eyes, how beautiful." He hands you a bouquet of rainbow flowers that he summoned from thin air.
Your stare at the bouquet, perplexed. He simply hands it to you to take. You suppose it's merely a token of remorse for the problems his subordinates caused. When you take the bow, your hands get stuck on a thorn. You flinch, as Lyney frowns as he whips the blood from your thumb.
"Are you okay, darling?" The colors surrounding you alter as you raise your head to meet his gaze. As you take a step back, you are surrounded by blocks of items.
The block advances another step. "Are you okay?" As you panic, it hovers above you. As the others rush to check on you, you scream.
"Are you alright?"
"Why are you panicking?"
As sleep overtook you, a lovely aroma touched your nostrils.
"Good night, darling."
welp this was kinda of a brainrot. I usually don't write Yandere content, but i had a small idea.

"Like a Circus." (Lyney & Steambird Journalist! Reader part one
"Like a Circus." (Lyney & Steambird Journalist! Reader part 1
I've been obssesed with him for going on two weeks. (Now that I wrote something for him I can continue writing other things.)
References: to the Show & Movie : "Now you see Me" and "Black Butler Circus Arc."
Series: Adventures with the magician from a quiet village
Written before 4.0 Release
Written before Lyney Release
This is the tag for this and my other Lyney series. Follow this is you want future updates.
Tumblr media
 
2/21: I was having a difficult time trying to figure out how to do chapter 3, seeing that the original 2 chapters were a bit ooc. I just tweaked the plots in the original two chapters a bit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our show." The ringmaster's presence caught everyone's attention. He spoke, his voice echoing throughout the opera house as he introduced himself and gave his greeting.
The ringleader Lyney, and his sibling Lynette were known throughout Fontaine for their magician acts. The eldest often drew in audience members with his charm, while his siblings drew in others from their small disappearing acts.
Usually, these types of shows are not your forte, and you would avoid them.
Performances such as those of the twins, have a high probability of going wrong. Unfortunately for you, your job requires your attendance here.
Pulling out your notepad and pen, you prepare for the performance.
"Today we have quite the act in store for you." He eyes the audience, stopping briefly to make eye contact.
He gives a small smirk before addressing the audience once more. You blink at him, confused, before going back to your notes.
"Starting off, we have the beautiful Lynette on the tightrope. Will she make it to the other side?" Lyney's eyes sparkle with excitement as he gestures towards the spotlight, illuminating the tightrope.
The audience holds its breath as they wait impatiently to see Lynette's daring display of grace and balance. Your mouth drops while watching her performance. The report given to you mentioned there being a new act; you have yet to see it, however.
Charlotte, a manager of yours, assigned you to attend one of the siblings shows. It was her job to attend; however, due to her reputation for her "unique" writing style, Lyney has always denied her an interview. When she heard that they were performing a new act, she turned to her last hope for the information, which was you.
"There's a new act that they're putting on." Charlotte said, handing you the flyer.
The article mentioned a new act they were putting on, and renovations that was being made to the Opera Eclaisse.
"They do the same tricks every show; what am I going to write on it?"
"Try finding more information on them, like interviewing them per se." She holds her notebook, pointing the pen in your direction.
The cheers from the crowd broke you from your thoughts. Lynette waved down to the crowd almost robotically as she was given a round of applause.
You note that down on the paper. Rolling your eyes, you tap against the paper, hoping this will be over soon. This was just their normal routine; why would there be a new act if they're doing the same thing? You let out a huff as Lyney walks back on stage.
Lyney staggers slightly towards the middle of the room.
The next act reveals a water escape tank. You eye the act, writing it down on your notes. Finally, something interesting instead of a boring acrobatic routine.
A second assistant you've never heard of walks onto the stage, walking towards the tank. Once he was at the top, Lyney begins a countdown. At 1, the assistant drops into the cage as the time begins shortly after.
The young man wildly looks around, trying to navigate the key. Drool from crocodiles fell into the water as he tried to locate the key.
The timer drops from 2:45 to 1:59, still not key insight.
You continue watching, engrossed in the act, with your article forgotten.
The time keeps trickling down as the assistant looks for the key.
Eyes focus on leaning forward as the audience tries to look around, signaling a clue for him.
10 seconds near the end, he finds the key by slowly unlocking the chains, forgetting the impending death that awaits him.
8. Children begin yelling frantically, telling him to hurry up.
7.. The adults begin talking among themselves, a bit concerned at how long it's taking him to get out of the water tank.
6, He has the key inserted into the other leg chain, slowly getting it from around his leg.
The crowd began to get up, with some running to get help while others try to approach the center stage.
" Ladies and gentlemen, I assure you, my assistant Freminet will be alright." Lyney tries to de-escalate the situation from becoming worse.
The timer dings, and crocodiles drop into the tank as people begin to rush down the stairs. Some run around trying to break the glass to get him out. Lyney stares blankly at the situation, almost as if his assistant wasn't harmed at all.
His youngest assistant approached from behind, unscathed. The crowd looked on in shock before clapping. The assistant nodded and bowed before running back off stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, he did it. Give him a round of applause!"
Heartily clapping echoes through the opera house. Parents who were yelling retake their seats. Once everyone was reseated, he called upon his final act.
"For my final act, I need an audience member, please." Hands hesitantly went up. Lyney looks through them, shaking his head.
"No, sorry kids, I need someone a bit older. Maestro, please pick someone from the light."
The lights within the tent go black. A spotlight shines through the crowd, landing directly on you. Everyone glances in your direction as you turn around.
Clearly, he must mean behind  me.
 You check behind you, unfortunately, to see no one.
"You with the Steambird badge." Everyone stops staring in your direction. Slowly, you make your way up the stairs, stopping next to him.
You look at the crowd nervously as they clap politely. The blonde, noticing the tension, puts a hand on your shoulder.
"You'll do fine, it's nothing bad." He whispers, giving a small smile.
He leads you to a knife throwing wall from the side of the stage. You side eye him and the wall. The indentations look recent and almost concerning, given the giant tear in it. To be honest, it worries you about how the act will go.
“Please stand back.” He gently straps you into the chains, so you don’t fall. He gives it a small spin, leaving you upside down.
“Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome back Lady Lynette to the stage.” The cloud cheers as a younger girl walks onto the stage with a box in hand.
He leaves her view, allowing a clear position to throw the knives.
Internally, you were panicking, you were supposed to write an article, not join the act.
The world starts to spin as a knife wedges itself next to your face. You look up in shock, seeing Lynette throw each one neatly near your limbs. The crowd gasps at seeing the last one in her hand.
Nervously, you eye her, hoping she doesn’t miss. The wheel turns three times before the dagger wedges itself between your bang and your ear. The crowd gives a cheer as Lynette takes a bow.
“Wasn’t she amazing?” Lyney cheerfully greets the audience.
The audience erupts into applause, their excitement evident as they cheer for the incredible display of skill and bravery.
As you join Lyney on stage, you feel a bit shy about getting attention. A gloved hand grabs yours, dragging you down into a bow as the cheers continue.
"We'll see you next time." Lyney, Lynette, and you exit the side stage, going towards the backrooms of the opera house.
The siblings led you to a room where Freminet was waiting for them. He noticed you enter before briefly leaving the room.
"Are you here for an interview about the incident?" He brings out a chair for you to sit in. You take a seat while he settles into the opposite chair.
"Go right ahead." You take out a notebook and a pen.
"Can you please tell me about the incident and the new act?" He nods and begins to explain the incident.
The cannon apparently malfunctioned, which is why he was shot through the air so high.
"Was there anything else?" He gave a right smile allowing you to continue.
You nod, asking more of the questions Charlotte provided you. Before proceeding, he let out a tiny sigh of what you thought was irritation. Did he know that she sent you to interview in her place?
Halfway through a question, Freminet returns through the doorway, glancing at you before taking a seat. You stare at the blonde boy curiously, as the person you interview interrupts.
"Oh, I'm sorry; it appears that we have run out of time." He returns his gaze to you after a brief peek at the younger boy.
"Oh, we have." You check the time, seeing that it's gotten a little late. Lyney stands, guiding you to the door. You look at the scenery backstage as you make your way to the stage exit. The props that he used were sitting by some of the stage doors.
"Did you enjoy the performance?" He gives you one of his charming smiles as he pulls out a small rainbow rose from his hat. You take it as you give him a slight nod.
"That's good, you seemed nervous when the performance began. I thought that your job traumatized you by forcing you to be here." You freeze as he smiles cheekily, hitting the nail on the head.
"It's not that. It's that, uhm," you cut off as he lets out a laugh. He glances towards you unphased by the rude comment that you left.
"I know not everyone likes my performances; too many bad things can happen. Especially with the disappearing acts and the girls from Fontaine going missing." You walk in sync with him almost calmly now. His demeanor calms your nerves.
Opening the door, the cold night air pricks your skin.
"It's been a pleasure." He gives you a small bow as you pass him towards the exit.
"Thank you, M. Lyney." He gives another smile as he closes the door to the Opera Eclaisse.

"Like a Circus." (Lyney & Steambird!Journalist Reader) Part 2
To anyone named Lianna I am so sorry for your loss in this story/jk
Here's Part One if you haven't seen it yet
I love how the archon quest confirmed a theory I had.
(2/21/24)Next Chapter will be out by next week!

Tumblr media
Hehe gif is a small reference for something else im wriring for the Fontaine siblings 👀
Nighttime hit Fontaine as businesses began to shut down for the night. Most employees were making their way home, a few people were on the streets hanging out around this time.
“Uhm hello?” Lianna, a Knight from Mondstadt drunkenly walked down the streets of Fontaine alone, bottle in hand. She was here on business and ended up getting drunk at the bar she met her client at. The bar kicked her out for getting too rowdy and dancing on tables.
She mumbles angrily to herself, continuing forward, trying to find an inn to sleep in for the night. The clinking of her heels dragged along the street. She slowly inched her way through the road when the lamps lighting her way suddenly went out, leaving her in darkness.
“Huh?”
She stopped taking in her surroundings. The pitch blackness made it difficult for her to navigate a land that she was unfamiliar with. She went to move again when something strange occurred.
The sound of a music box started to play. Lianna stood confused, trying to get her thoughts together. First, the lights now have some weird music box, if she didn’t know better, she would think this was some stupid prank they played on foreigners.
The music suddenly stopped. Silence and sounds of water from the nearby pier filled the background. Light footsteps walked in her direction, the sound of continuous tapping directly in front of her. She waits with a bated breath for something to happen or the lights to turn on. Seconds turn into minutes as she waits.
A small flame flickers as a Fatuus stood before her with a scythe in hand. That was all Lianna needed before taking the initiative to run away.
She ignored the darkness as she took off running. She ran zig-zag, trying to get the person off her trail. Lianna could hear him right on her tail yelling phrases towards her that she didn’t pay mind to. As she kept turning the corner, she heard the ocean waves growing louder. She pushed forward, going forward down the path, running face first into the waters down below.
Her purser stopped in their tracks, standing close to the edge of the pier. A light flashed into the water directly at her, blinding her momentarily. The Fatui member stares at her, not moving to snatch her up. She is still watching their movements. She waited for him to move before she started swimming towards another pier.
As Lianna exited the ocean, darkness filled her vision.
The Steambird was filled with chatter from the other members. Members ran around trying to collect the newspaper printed.
"Mondstadt woman found dead near the pier nearby."
“A young knight who worked for the Knights of Favonius, came here on business regarding trade between Fontaine and Mondstadt, Officers pronounced her dead around 3 Am this morning.”
"Lianna was apparently found with her neck snapped in an awkward direction. The only evidence the police found of the culprit was some pieces of cat hair around her neck."
"Did you find anything?" Charlotte peeks her head in from around the corner.
"Nothing that we don’t already know." She entered with more documents in hand.
"I heard the streetlights were shut off, probably didn’t want the cameras or possible eyewitnesses seeing them.” Charlotte sat the pile of papers neatly to the side.
"Well, that makes things much harder, doesn't it?" Charlotte lets out a small laugh as she enters the cubicle, papers in hand.
"Boss says, "All of those need to be completed by the end of today." She takes her leave as quickly as she entered your cubicle.
Picking up the documents, you spot the Chief of Justice among your list for interviews. Very helpful, leave it to the court to "have all the answers."
You walk along the streets of Fontaine, sweater in hand. Light music filled the streets as you passed by the shops. Everyone is always working, leaving few people in the streets to leisurely roam during the day. Some restaurants had business lunches, others roaming around quickly to their locations. 
The head of the court, the young god Furina and her right hand, Neuvillette judged the guilty. The building was the largest in the city almost similar to the roles that the people residing in them had to the people of Fontaine.
You shook your head trying to relieve yourself from the negative thoughts. It was just an interview with the Judge, nothing bad was going to happen. Entering the court, you signed yourself in and waited to be called.
"Yes how can I help you?" A melusine sitting at the desk glances up in your direction.
"An Interview with the steambird for Monsieur Neuvillette?" The melusine sighs, before walking off in the direction of his office. You remain by the desk waiting for the Melusine to return.
"He has time for you." The Melusine returned pointing out the direction of his office to you. You knock on the door before entering his office.
The Judge's office consisted of various articles spread throughout the wall, with dates circled. Neuvillette himself, sat at the desk writing away on a document. The hydro archon, sat on a chair talking to him as he works away.
"You should have seen the people that danced on their partners feet." She recounts a story of one of her outings to the Judge who listens silently.
"Next time, I'll take you." She continues talking as he seemingly listens in on her. Seeing you, her expression changes back into the arrogant stature she carries.
"It appears that we have a guest."
Seeing no place to sit, you stand awkwardly next to the door waiting for his permission.
“For the interview, correct?” He responds still focused on his work, not sparing you a single glance.
“Uhm yes. I’m Y/N.” The Judge sets aside a document, looking up to meet your gaze. Lady Furina sat up listening to the conversation.
“Let’s begin, what are your questions for me?”
“Fontaine wants to know, what are you doing about the disappearances of the foreigners as of recent?”
“We are doing our best to investigate the situation, Clorinde has taken over the case, I would advise talking to her.”
You put away the notebook, as quick as you pulled this out. This wasn't even five moments into the conversation.
"I understand, thank you for your time." You thank him and take your leave to go find her office.
“Furina can show you.” The young girl who was leaning against his desk shot up.
“Huh?"
“She’s not doing her work; she has time to take you.” He sighs hearing her argue more. He stands pushing her out of the office alongside you.
“If you’ll excuse me.” He locks his door leaving you with the young God.
“Neuvi!” She whined banging on the door to no avail. It remains shut with her locked out. She stood at the door annoyed before turning to you.
“As your dear archon, I will graciously help you out.” Her expression taking one of a soft smile as she guides you to Clorinde's office.
"I see thank you Miss Clorinde." You exit her office leaving the Palais Memonia. You checkt the list of other credible sources that was on your agenda.
Miss Navia
Melusine Guardes
Guardes
Monsieur Neuvillette
Mademoiselle Clorinde
You sigh crossing them off one by one. You decide to go with your best bet which is the Guardes. The Guardes during the time that Lianna was walking that time of night, some had to have been stationed in that area. Looking over the information that Mademoiselle Clorinde gave, it appears that none of the Guardes that she had stationed that night, heard any strange noises.
You sigh crossing the Guardes off your list momentarily. You sigh making your way to take care of the other things on your agenda.
"And you're sure that was the only evidence that you left by accident?"
"Yes." The white haired female let out a sigh of irratation as her nails drum along the desk she sat at.
"No more mistakes or do you need more training?" She sends a glare towards the three who raised their heads slightly.
"No sir." She sighs and dismisses the three from the room. The door to the House of the Hearth closing as a certain blonde and his siblings exit.
"We were a bit careless." One mumbled as they pass down the streets of Fontaine.
"I thought that you had them honestly."
"It doesn't matter, next time we'll do better."
“Places in 5 minutes!”
The staff and the performers began getting ready for their acts. Other performers were talking amongst themselves backstage.
The twins were preparing for their final performances for the night.
Lyney sat next to his vanity, preparing for his upcoming act, while his younger brother, Freminet, drew sketches for his next project sitting with him.
 Freminet would occasionally assist the siblings with their shows, though mainly he would watch from the crowd. The last show he helped with, was to regulate Lyney so he wouldn’t have another accident.
“Are you helping out with the show again, Frem?”
“What acts are you doing tonight?’’  The youngest looked up from his drawings.
“The usual, tightrope, saw cut, things like that.”
“I don’t think I’ll join this time then.” Lyney frowns, turning to Freminet.
Lyney sighs making the youngest stop his drawing. He puts down the make-up brush, turning to face him. "You know I only do this to get you comfortable with others right?"
"You're always on your own, you barely even talk to Lynette and I, that's not healthy, little brother."
The youngest stops his drawings as he closes the drawing book. He simply nods, not arguing with his older brother.
Their conversation ends short as a staff member peeks his head into the room.
“Lyney, it’s time.” He stands, tying his bow behind his back.
"Will you watch tonight at least?” He sends a glance to Freminet as he puts on his sleeve and gloves.
"I'll be in the audience."
"Then, I'll make sure to put on a hell of a show for you." He ruffles Freminet's hair before leaving the room.
“Wish me luck!” The crowd cheers welcoming Lyney and Lynette to the stage for their performance.
A/N (2/21): Chapter 3 will be out in a few weeks, thank you for your patience.

Scarlet leaves: The children of the ocean (Chapter 1)
It's a What if Au.
What if Lyney and Lynette were not in the Fatui, and were adopted by Kazuha and Traveled with him.
Notes
The Goodwill's Children are a group of children who run the streets of Fontaine. (They are not canon)
Lynette's nickname is Nettie and will be referred to as such through out the series.
Kazuha will be here much later on through out the chapters.
Freminet will be showing up much later through out the story.
This is not a Kazuha centric story, some chapters will focus on him, so please don't leave in my messages "Where is Kazuha?", because he's not the main character. He is a main character but not the main character.
(The title refers to there being about 3 main characters.)
Just wanted to make that clear!
Scarlet leaves AU is an Au where the fontaine twins don't join the fatui and eventually travel Teyvat with Kaedehara Kazuha and later adopted by him.
The Idea came from here!
This took me months to do and I'm happy to finally show this to you all.
Plot:
Lyney and Lynette are a pair of unfortunate children who lost their parents to disease. They try to live day by day through each paycheck by doing jobs to save up money to rebuy their house. While dealing with the orphan gang and struggling to maintain rations to live by week by week, the twins meet a certain white-haired ronin.
Let's get things started ^^
Tumblr media
Fontaine began to calm down for the night as most began to get off work. Stores began to close as people hurried home for the night, except for a few unfortunate souls. Most children who weren't sent to the orphanage begged the streets and scavenged for food at night. Fontaine wasn't the best at monitoring and helping the children. Most went to orphanages or were picked off the streets; if they were lucky, others, in worse-case scenarios, died.
 Lyney and Lynette were no exception to this.
The first few months were hell as the two began to adjust to the streets. As the government repossessed items from their home, the two were left with the clothes they had on the night their parents died. Almost too soon after they passed, everything that was eventually going to be promised to the twins was taken away from them. A few people came by and began to take things from their home. Both fought for the gifts from their parents at the time because they were confused, only to have them taken away. The people who had taken away the only memories they had of their parents shortly after that ejected them from their house. After being kicked from their house, the two wandered the streets of Fontaine that night. No one would look at them, nor would anyone have pity for the new orphans.  Lyney, as the eldest, tried working various jobs to keep them afloat so that they could at least have food for tomorrow. With every ration that he brought, he found it quickly diminishing every time he brought groceries home.
"Move, you damn brats.” Lyney falls to the ground, holding his sister close to him. Looking up, he sees the group of orphan children glaring down at them. The Goodwill’s Children, an orphan gang, ran the streets of Fontaine. Their motto was to claim things from the rich and give them to everyone in "need."  
Typically, when there were fresh orphans living on Fontaine's streets, they would assist anyone who was willing to help the needy for a small fee. 
"So, what did you take home this week?" Someone takes Lynette's stack of food and examines it. The ragtag group of orphans were chowing down on their hard-earned food.
"Ooh, this is the good stuff, boss.” One of the members exclaimed as she quickly ate the piece of food, taking another piece. Soon enough, the others joined in, each eating up their rations as quickly as they earned them. Finishing off, they dropped the empty bag in front of them by accident. 
“You’re supposed to be helping the streets, not hoarding food for yourselves.” One mentioned kicking Lynette in the leg as she fell. Lyney’s eyes met the leader, who wore a smug look. She stood over his sister, grabbing her by the hair as she went to take out a weapon. Lyney approaches as the weapon digs into her throat. The group let out a laugh as he froze in place. Another member abruptly forced him to his knees as the leader kneeled in front of him. She lifts his head so that they can make eye contact.
"Always give us a portion of your earnings from your job first the next time around, alright?" She leaned in close to his face. Her hot breath hit his cheeks as he glared up at her. She lets go of him, as she and her group make their way back down the road that they came from. 
Ignoring his wounds, he gets up, rushing to attend to Lynette, who rises to her feet. She let out a deep sigh, facing her brother. Lyney frets over her appearance, causing a small laugh from her. 
“Are you alright, Nettie?” Lynette brushes off her dress, getting to her feet. Walking over to their little house, she grabs a few items. A top hat, a few birds that she had caught were in small cages, and some fireworks were in hand as she made her way back towards him.
“I’m alright, Lyney. We should practice for our performance tonight.” He agrees as they pull out their hats. Lyney tries to pull something out of his top hat, only to pull out lent. Lynette works to make a pigeon disappear, only for the pigeon to fly away that she had to chase down. While his sister ran to get their assistant back, he was practicing card tricks that, over the weeks, he was able to make decent. He continued working on it, until his sister came back to their home. Her hair was disheveled, but the bird was caught in the cage. Carefully, she sat the pigeon down before approaching her brother. They continued practicing their acts for the night before making their way towards the streets. Lyney hands fidgeted with each step they took towards the area. He shakily took deep breathes in and out as his sister lightly squeezed his other empty hand. He let out the sigh he was holding in as his heart rate began to slow down, as he walked in sync with his sister.
Usually around nighttime, the crowds in Fontaine circled around Monsieur Cesar’s performances. Monsieur Caesar was Fontaine’s famed magician, known for the acts he would put on for families and the street acts he would do for the children.
Lyney watched curiously as he moved the hat to the audience, showing nothing within it. As he lowered it, Lyney saw a rabbit being pushed into the back of the hat. 
“Ta da!” The hat appeared on the table as the crowd clapped. Lyney gave a smug look towards the audience who remained entranced.
`This seemed like it could be easy, maybe this isn’t as hard as Ceser makes it look?``
Lynette continues her next act with the use of small rings of fire as she jumps around for her performance. Her act mimics the ring of fire act most performers would do for their performances. She successfully passes by the last one, only for her dress to catch on fire a bit. Lynette looks in shock before going away from the crowd to put out the fire. Lyney glances towards her before continuing with his act. 
The rabbit in the hat trick was one that they worked on for weeks. After many attempts, he was able to do it. “Look here—a cute white rabbit, right? I’ll make this rabbit disappear before your eyes.” He carefully put the rabbit in the hat before facing the crowd.
 “Count down with me now.” He pulls a cover over the hat as the countdown gets to the last number. He pulls the hat back before revealing an empty hat to the crowd. They clap for him as he makes a small bow before re-covering the cap again. Instead of the rabbit reappearing, the hat remained empty. He looks at the top hat, surprised, before recovering it again. The crowd let out a small laugh at his mistake. When the rabbit didn’t appear, the crowd began to get confused.
"Apologies, ladies and gentlemen; there appears to be an issue.” He moves around his makeshift stage, looking for his assistant. Some people got up and began to leave his show as he ran around frantically. His anxiety creeps back in as he frantically moves things making the stage look sloppy. `It was just right here, what did it go?` He looks over on the side to see if Lynette has come back, only to see no one else but himself. He takes a small sigh before opening up his mouth to apologize to the crowd.
“Lyney.” Lynette re-entered the stage with the rabbit on her head. The crowd laughed at the silly look that she had. He let out a small sigh before greeting the audience with a more confident look. “Everyone, she did it!” He bows as they clap for his sister who hands him the rabbit. The rabbit settled in his arms as he looks over to her with a sheepish look.
“thanks, sis.” She rolls her eyes as she takes the stage once more. The two of them and the rabbit bowed as the crowd gave them some cheers. “This has been Lyney and Lynette’s magic show, we’ll see you next time.” He lights a small smoke bomb that goes off as they exit the makeshift stage. This first performance didn’t go exactly as he had planned, but at least they were able to get their names out there. The twins walk with their equipment down the small alleyway.
 “How much did we earn?” She holds up the mora they received from their performances. The amount grew a bit from his little mishap towards the end. He slowly counted it over noticing that it was still not enough for food rations for a few months. 
“Sorry Nettie, it looks like I won’t be able to get you that desert that you really wanted.”
“It’s fine. What’s most important is that we’re able to save up money to take back our house.” After being kicked from their own home, the person in charge told them to bring 40,000 mora to buy the house back. Lyney pleaded saying that it belongs to them and why would they take it away. The person only says that it’s business after all and that small brats like them couldn’t even think to afford to live somewhere as nice as this. Lyney was held back by Lynette that day so that he couldn’t chase after the man.
“Soon we’ll have enough, just another few 10 years.” He joked before letting out a groan as he held his hands over his face. “Adult life must be hard.” He sighs as they make their way home.
The day after, their small show began regular street performances. With each performance came its mistakes, but also gained new audience members. Their acts are what they expected to draw in people, with all the rookie mistakes, however, this has become more of a comedy show every night.
“Lynette, so I heard that you and your brother are doing magic shows at night?” 
The introverted girl nods at her boss while she works on a cake that’s for delivery. Café Lutece that was known for their desserts and sweets, was where Lynette found work. As someone who always buys desserts and spends her time there, her brother suggested that finding work here would be good for her, as she gets discounts for her favorite cakes. Her work was simple and due to her looks, she helped the restaurant receive mora in return. Most would come to Café Lutuce to help the poor child who was working as hard as the adults. Some only spent so much money on the café, to "help” the poor child who came from a struggling family.
“Yes.” One of the coworkers said that she had let out a small clap for the girl. She pulls the younger girl into a hug. “You must have been very much inspired by Mr. Ceser huh?” Lynette nods as another coworker pulls her away from the girl.
“From what I heard, your acts going wrong seem to be more popular."
Her ear twitches at the comment before she lets out a small nod. A coworker pats her on the head with a bright smile. “I’m sure you’ll do well.”
“Activate chat mode. Welcome to Café Lutece, I’m Lynette. What can I get you?” She takes the order for a family that entered the café. 
“Aren’t you a little too young to be working here, sweetheart?” She ignores the woman’s concern before repeating her question. Her husband looks towards Lynette with a look of pity towards her. She shrugs it off as she makes her way towards the back with the order.
Going to the next table, the pity she received dwindled down as the group of nobles looked down upon her. “Little girl, make sure you don’t mess this up. My wife would like La letter a Focalors, and I’ll have Conch Madeleine, and some tea freshly brewed from Chenyu Vale.” She stares him down before heading back into the kitchen. She hands the order over to the staff as she makes her way back to taking orders.
By time she returns to the table, she hands them the order before walking off once more. Halfway within someone's orders, she hears her name being yelled as people begin to stare in the direction of the guests whose orders she just placed down.
 “This is horrendous, maid here!” The man angrily waves his hands at her as she walks over, carefully stopping a foot away from him. His wife looks at her with a look of disgust as she holds up a piece of cake. 
“What is in this?” Lynette stares at her blankly. “Flour, eggs, sugar, normal ingredients.” The woman clicks her tongue as she shows her face to the cat girl. Her face swells slightly as she glares at her. Lynette pauses before walking towards the other staff. Returning to the couple, one of her co-workers took over her speaking for her and found ways to accommodate the couple to appease them. The woman’s face grew red with the more that her co-worker spoke. 
“I want this girl fired, clearly she doesn’t know how to do her job.’’ She turns towards the younger girl with a smug look. Her coworker glances towards her before turning back towards the couple.
“She’s our newest employee, she still is taking some time to get used to things, please forgive her for any mistakes.” Lynette also apologizes to the couple as she makes her way back towards the other staff. “She is still learning how to navigate things.” The words they used to appease the couple only expanded the aggression.
“Whoever taught her needs to be fired as well! The cake that she brought was wrong, the tea wasn’t from Chenyu Vale like I ordered, it was cold water, it wasn’t even brewed properly!” Lynette watches the situation become more out of hand as the manager comes out and takes over. She walks back over to her other tables, handing them their orders while the situation is taken care of.
“Hey Nettie.” She enters their makeshift house, dragging her feet along the ground. Their makeshift house in an alleyway was growing more with each item added to the house. Even though the two had a place to call their own, it was nothing compared to the house that they once owned. 
"Stressful day?" He finishes cooking and takes a sit next to her, offering her a bowl of food. The two dined alone, their bowls clinking softly. "Work was okay today, I suppose. I delivered a package to the wrong customer, and this lady went off on me." She remains quiet occasionally showing she's listening with an attentive nod as he reverts to silence. When they were finished, he collected the plates and placed them in a bag. "I'll go clean these tomorrow." She hastily changes into her costume as they go for their next job.
“They are so cute, trying to mimic Monsieur Ceser.” One of their wealthier patrons laughed at the cat in their performance, attacking Lyney. Lyney ran around as Lynette tried to fix the props that got knocked over. All of this causing laughter from their audience members. Lyney and Lynette received claps for their performance as they took their bows. Lynette collected tips as Lyney stuck around talking to their patrons.
“Your acts are so well Lyney.” He gives them a smile thanking them. He reaches in his hat before pulling out a boquet of Lumi Douce bells.
“My sister and I appreciate your support."
“Instead of doing magic acts, why don’t you both start a circus with the number of times that you’re acts go wrong.” The person with the person he was speaking with let out a laugh, causing a few others to laugh as well. They mock him further before making their way out of the plaza where they were performing at.
Lyney sighs grabbing a few props to pack up, when someone else called his name, he was still having a conversation with one.
"Hello, Lyney and Lynette, was it?” 
A brunette man in an expensive outfit and a blonde-haired woman in expensive clothing made their way towards the two. The man standing next to her had a happy expression on his face as he looked in their direction, concealing the woman's identity and hiding her emotion. 
“The two aspiring magicians, whose acts resemble the Great Magician Ceser.” Lyney looks towards his sister as she eyes them before facing him. Her expression changed to a look of discomfort before changing back to blank. Lyney faced the two with a bright smile as he spoke with the same politeness. "Good evening, dear guests; yes, Monsieur Ceser has greatly inspired my sister and I."
"Most acts that we have tried are old tricks that he used while making his debut."
The man laughs as he nods his head. "I'm surprised that you know that being that his debut was before you were both born." Lyney fidgets with his hat as the man continues talking. "Well, in order to learn, one must study everything in order to improve." He pulls out a few of Cecilia's, handing them to the woman next to him. She lets out a huff of surprise, accepting them from him. "What is that my sister and I can do for you, sir?"
“I noticed that you both were without parents. As for someone as talented and amazing as the both of you, it’s rather concerning.” Lyney notices the soft smile that the woman gives him as she lowers the fan from her face. The man grins at her sweetly as he takes her hand before continuing. “If you don’t mind, we would like to adopt you.” Lyney stared at the couple for a minute before turning to his sister. She still held a skeptical look as she eyed the couple. Facing him, she shakes her head.
"It is true; my sister and I do not have parents, but we are able to take care of ourselves. "Also, we are aware of your concern, and we are unable to go along with it." He observes that the smiles that were on their faces disappear. An attempt is made by the woman to mask her emotion by bringing the fan back to her mouth, while the husband appears to be in a state of confusion, almost as if he was unaware of being rejected.
"Are you sure?" Lyney nods as he collects the remainder of his belongings from their impromptu stage. Remaining there, the couple cast an intimidating gaze in the direction of the two individuals. Their smiles have faded as they look down at them from above, as if they were beneath them.
“Have a good night.” Lyney tips his hat towards the two as the twins make their way back to their makeshift home. Peering over his shoulder, he sees the man grit his teeth as he and the woman take their leave. 
“Why were they pressuring us so much?”
“I heard that some nobles have been adopting children off the streets as of late.” Lyney looks at her in shock as she continues. “Some orphans have been offered the chance to have a better life with these noble families.” Lyney felt a pit of anxiety hit him as he compared the previous situation from just now to what she was talking about. He remembers how they froze up when they declined their help.
“Do you think that they may have been?” She nods as his voice cuts off. They walk in silence for the remainder of their trip home.
"Lyney has a new delivery for this week.” He nods, taking the pack of newspapers as he makes his way out the door of the office of The Steambird. A young woman in her 20s stood outside as he passed her a series of newspapers in the satchel that he was given. Lyney’s put on his steambird badge before making his departure. “I have more work for you when you make your way back.” She sees him off.

Re: "To my darling, whose love is out of reach."
Re done story, because I rushed the original story.
One sided Lynlumi, Kazulumi.
Angst No Comfort
There will be a happier ending, that I will be writing, and I will link it once it is complete.
lyney's unrequited love song
Thanks for your support!
@bluu-m0on I re did this.
Tumblr media
(I miss when I thought Lyney and Lynette were circus members TwT)
Rose-colored lenses covered Lyney's eyes as he gazed at the blonde traveler. She had sun-bright blonde hair, snow-white skin, and eyes similar to those of Topaz, the beautiful traveler who had entered his country. Since the traveler from afar crossed paths with Lyney, his previous days have never been the same.
Lyney already had a lot to think about—mostly his future and current struggles. The Trveler entering his life helped change that for him a bit.
Following Lyney's court case, he began to encounter the traveler more frequently. She would later assist him in clearing Monsieur Caeser's name. After that, he would work alongside her while they were investigating the Meropide Fortress.
As someone whose entire daytime job was to charm others and entrance them with his acts, he often found himself entranced around the other blondes.
In their free time while they weren't traveling, they would help Lyney with his shows, occasionally learning tricks from the Twins. Lyney would tease her by saying that if she wanted to learn more, she could call him "Master Lyney." She rolled her eyes, shaking her head at that comment; however, Lyney found it hilarious.
Over time, he began to learn more about her, which she was willing to share, and in return, she learned more about him. He constantly told her tales about Lynette and, occasionally, some of Freminet's fairy tales that he caught himself reading over.
This became somewhat of a routine on the days she visited the nation of Hydro.
"Lynette, did you hear about what the traveler said? She mentioned that she had encountered a few ghosts before." His voice was much brighter as he spoke about her to his dear sister for the 15th time since they had met. Lynette let out a small sigh, even though she listened intently.
"She mentioned meeting a ghost that ran into a ruin guard, and Paimon scolded her." He laughed a little, remembering her expression as she talked to him intently. She leaned in a bit closer, with her attention never leaving his as he spoke. 
"I know; she told me before." Lynette responds quietly as she takes a sip of her tea. It was still early morning, so she was still waking up, but she was awake enough to hear him talk.
"You have been talking about her a lot lately. When are you planning on confessing?" Her words cause his ears to turn red as he panics, trying to deny the claims.
"Lynette! I'm not in love with the traveler; I just admire them deeply, ever since they forgave us." She stares back at him with a deadpan look, seemingly not believing him. She opens her mouth to say something else when Freminet comes into the room with Pers in one arm.
"Good morning." The deep voice of his younger brother took away the attention. Lynette begins to chat with him, leaving Lyney to deal with his inner turmoil. 
It's not a surprise that the magician would want to court the traveler. A sweet, kind-hearted person who has good ideals that will protect others. It's also a plus that she gets along well with both of his siblings. Lyney found her to be a fascinating individual, and he became attached to her quite quickly after meeting her.
Lyney typically maintains close relationships only with his family, never allowing anyone outside of that to see him without his mask. For the traveler to get to see all sides of him and to not turn him away like they did back then, at that moment, Lyney hoped to remain in their hearts.
"Hey Traveler, there you are." The wind swept sweetly over his hair as he stopped in the Beryl Region's mountains. The flowers confirmed the rumor that the traveler was gathering items for someone. Lyney eyed the small group of flowers that they had before facing the two. The travler turned, giving him her full attention. 
"Hey, Lyney, what can we help you with?" Paimon waved at him as she flew closer, clutching some rainbow roses in her hands. 
Lyney smiled a bit, staring down at the flowers. Rainbow roses were a popular flower in Fontaine, typically given as gifts or used for annivesaries.
"I was looking for the traveler; I had something to tell them." The traveler dropped the flowers carefully in her bag and moved closer to hear him better. She paused slightly closer to him, allowing him to take in her beauty. The wind seemed to have pushed her hair a bit, and there was some dirt on her boots, likely from walking in the mud or fighting.
She stares at him blankly while Lyney tries to get his thoughts together.
"Ah. I'd want to invite you to a special performance tonight." Taking off his hat, he reveals two tickets that fell off his head. Paimon catches the two tickets in mid-air and hovers down to hand them over. Momentarily, the female Travler examines the tickets.
"What's the special occasion?"
He flushes and wrings his hands together.
'Get it together!'
"Well, there's a special VIP trick afterwards." Paimon looks excitedly at her as she nods, pocketing the tickets. 
"I see no harm in it." The traveler shakes their head in agreement. Lyney lets out a small sigh of relief as he makes his way back the way he came, towards the boat he was using.
"I'll see you then!" He walks more chipper as he descends the mountain, to return to Fontaine City.
Hours later, he sat in his dressing room, quietly humming love songs. He danced around his dressing room while getting ready, a big grin on his face. Lynette and Freminet glanced inside the room without his knowledge. Both stared at each other with blank stares, as they turn back to him.
Tonight is the time he'll express his true feelings.
"Play close attention blink and you might miss it."
Lyney and his sister delighted the crowd with extrodinary acts. Act after Act was met with applause from the audience.
It's time for his special trick, which he's been waiting to reveal.
"Can I have a volunteer?"
The spotlight moves before focusing on the Traveler. She glances around before standing and walking to the stage. He brings them to the stage's middle.
"Hello, Traveler. Please choose a card." She looks at him, perplexed, before taking one. She holds it while he shuffles the cards for her.
"Can I have it back?" She returns the card to him as he reshuffles it before revealing a card.
"Was it this one?" He asks again, and she shakes her head before passing her a unique card. Before accepting the card, she shakes her head hesitantly. He snaps his fingers, and a bouquet of rainbow roses and a card appear in her hands. She appears stunned as the audience cheers and screams in amazement. Lyney stares at her happily as she accepts the boquet, instead of a happy look, she stared at the bow with an upset look.
"Thank you, Lyney."
As she leaves the stage, she reads the card. Lynette and Lyney conclude the act by taking their bows.
"This has been Lyney & Lynette's magic show." They do a bow before leaving the stage.
Lyney ran into his changing room, slamming the door behind him. Why did she look like that, did it have something to do with those rainbow roses that she was collecting earlier. His high energy wearing off as his mind took off at a fast pace.
The Traveler must have been puzzled by the expressions on her face.
He buries his face in his hands, hoping to calm his mind. Lyney may have been getting a little ahead of himself.
As the door to his dressing room opened, his love-sick thoughts consumed him. "Lyney, she's waiting on you." Lynette stood near the door, with her regular outfit back on. She held a bag on her shoulder as she and Fremient, stared into the room.
Freminet waves a little to Lyney as he stood next to their sister.
He did ask to talk to her after the show that is right. Lyney, grabbed his bag as he met them at the door. His hands twitched slightly as he tried to keep his compsure.
"Oh, I nearly forgot. Are you and Frem going home?" She nodded, putting her hand on top of his restless ones.
"You're overthinking Lyney. Go talk to her first." His hands stopped twitching as she said that. Lyney let out a small nod, as her and Freminet passed him going towrds the exit.
Before leaving, she pats him on the shoulder.
Lyney restless energy encouraged him to run to the spot he told her to meet him at. He hopes this wasn't him over thinking his feelings for her.
"Traveler!" He dashes up to the meeting location he specified in his note. There was no one on the bench.
As he tried to settle down his nerves, he was struck with disappointment. He waited on the bench, possibly waiting for them to arrive late.
As he sat in silence waiting for her, the wind filled his ears.
After a few minutes, he was approached by footsteps. When he looks up, he notices the Traveler arriving with an Albino haired male with red streaks in his hair, one he has never met. She was chatting with him happily as she clung to one of his arms. When they were close enough, the male noticed him first, greeting Lyney softly.
So that's her type.
"Lyney!" She grinned as they came to a halt in front of him, clutching the Albino's hand. The two almost looking perfectly together, rather than with himself.
A gentle type of man and the person he had a crush on, looking like a couple from one of Lynette's romance novels.
His heart skipped a beat, and his vision blurred as he focused on the male next to her.
Keep it together, we can't breakdown.
"Greetings Monsieur, I am Lyney, the famous magician in all of Teyvat!"
He should've known, of course he wouldn't be the only person after their heart.

Idol! Lyney
Tumblr media
Lyney is basically the older version of Kagamine Len, I feel like he would sing happier songs. Occasionally he would sing suggestive songs like "Spice." ( Viewer Discretion advised, this song is rated M.)
Who displays the Idol personality of a flirty man, but actuality he's very introverted and keeps to himself.
Lyney who grew up in the social media spotlight with his sister and half sibling Freminet. The three started off as a group, but Lyney was the most liked between the three so eventually they went on their separate careers.
Idol! Lyney who likes practicing his songs and harmonies with his siblings to give him courage to sing alone.
Idol! Lyney who rarely interacts with fans unless he's out in public spaces.
You being his Darling gets you access into VIP shows and private events.
Lyney dislikes parties but when he has to attend, he'll bring you, but as an Assistant.
Lyney who is very quiet about his relationship with you, to keep you out of any potential harm.
Just some HCS for the fic I'm releasing soon.
Here's some songs I think he would sing as an Idol.
