hi, could you please write an overwhelmed autistic reader x aether? i had a meltdown today and i really want some aether comfort content

thanks 💕

Hello there! I hope you’re feeling a bit better and managed to get yourself some rest <3

I hope this is what you were after anon! Sorry it’s a little short, this is the second time I wrote this because it deleted itself the first time lmao.

I’m also autistic so I’m kind of writing from my experience, remember everyone experiences thing differently!

Noise.

Autistic!Reader (GN) x Aether Ghoul.

Warnings: Description of a panic attack/autistic meltdown/shutdown. Reader goes non-verbal for a while.

You ran out of the common room and into the hallway, sliding yourself down to the wall and onto the floor. Bringing your knees up to your chest, you rest your head there, bringing your hands up to pull at your hair. All you could hear in your ears was ringing; everything felt way too much. Rocking back and forth and pulling at your hair, you really tried to calm yourself down.

“Y/N, darling. What’s going on?”

You could barely hear Aether’s voice, let alone make out what he said, so you just let out a small whimper, still pulling at your hair. Feeling a hand come to rest on your wrist, you slowly looked up at him. A slight feeling over relief washes over you as the ringing in your ears quietened down a little.

“That’s it, keep your eyes on me. Can you talk right now?” He asked, his face soft and his eyebrows knotted together in concern.

Shaking your head in response to Aether, you slowly reach a shaking hand out to him, gripping his shirt tightly. He nods, sitting down cross-legged in front of you, close enough so you could cling to the fabric of his shirt.

“Okay, honey. Is it okay if I stay here with you?” He asks, searching your face for an answer.

You nod, your other hand still pulling at your hair. He reaches up, taking your hand into his and taking it away from your head. He holds it tightly in his hand, knowing that light pressure will only make it worse.

“Can you look at me, Y/N?”

You slowly lift your head up from your knees to look at him again, blinking away tears that are threatening to spill.

“Would a hug help? I know last time you said that deep pressure-”

Before he can finish his sentence, you crawl into his lap, pressing your face into his neck. Aether wraps his arms tightly around you, resting his head on top of yours.

“That’s it, I’ve got you sweetie.” He murmured softly, holding you tight to his chest.

You could feel yourself trembling slightly in his arms, but the longer you’re there, the better you feel. After around ten minutes, you untucked your head from his his neck, looking up at him.

“Aeth?” You mumble quietly.

“Yeah, darling?” he responds, brushing a stray hair from your face.

“m’sleepy…”

“I bet you are, Y/N. You wanna go take a nap?” He asks, a smile on his face. You nod, looking up at him with a small smile on your face.

“Right then!” He exclaimed, standing up with you still in his arms. You let out a little squeak which made him chuckle as he started walking to your room. Once you got there, he opened the door and walked in, putting you down on the bed and putting a blanket over you.

“Aeth? Can you stay?” You ask, a slight whine to your voice.

“Of course I can, Y/N.” He smiles as he crawls into bed next you, pulling you to his chest again.

“How’s that, darling?” He asks, his voice soft and sweet.

“Perfect.” You mumble, nuzzling into him. Two minutes later, you were asleep.

Cuddling times... (Fluff!🌸)

Cuddling up to a very tired, yet clingy aether; seems easy but boy is it hard-

TW: None! Just fluff (No paimon in this either wooooo)

I was bored so i decided to write something that will make me feel comfortable looking back to read it :3

GN!Reader

You came home after a mission to find a very clingy and tried Aether tackling you to the couch; usually this would be a good thing if it weren't for you needing to use the restroom.

"Aether, Darling, you know I love you but could you please let me go? I'll be back i swear." You said to your charming loving boyfriend aether that was cuddling you.

You swore you could almost hear him say no, you chuckled to yourself before trying to untangle yourself from your clingy wet golden retriever

Keyword: Tried

Aether just held onto you tighter before saying something you could quite make out. "Aether, hun, I really need to use the restroom; if you let me go I'll give you all of my love when I come back m'kay?" You said in a loving tone.

After he heard that he let you go, sat up slowly, and rubbed his eyes.

"Fine, you better be back in 5 minutes though or I won't let you go for a whole hour" Aether said in an almost needy voice. Of course you paid no attention to it and just got up to use the restroom.

When you came out of the restroom he practically climbed on you like a kola who found their favorite branch to sleep on. You could only laugh a tiny bit before dragging him and yourself to your shared bedroom.

"I'm back aether, don't worry I'm not going anywhere for the rest of the day" you said as you softly played with his hair and giving him a few kisses here and there.

Soon you drifted off into dreamland with him.

Just wanted to write a quick little fluff cuddle story as I haven't written anything in a hot minute, hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Spending Autumn With The Twins

Fandom: Genshin Impact

Character(s): Aether, Lumine, ft. Paimon

Warning(s): fluff, Twins being in love with reader and fighting for that love, Paimon,

Readers Gender: Gn

You all had your fun in summer but now it was time to relax and enjoy the autumn season. You had planed allot of things for all the four of you even the twins had ideas.

Yes you all traveled to Mondstadt to go look around and see all the beautiful leaves and take a nature walk. During those walks Lumine would hook her arm to yours and when you notice her cheeks turned pink and she just said, “So if anything happens I’ll be close to protect you”, which to you was very sweet. Aether soon did the same thing saying how, “We don’t want to get split up and lost so I wanna be close”, but they did have to let go cause Paimon wanted a turn and neither was gonna let the have this chance and to be fair for Paimon. You guys saw a bunch of leave so like any normal person would do you jumped in as leaves went everywhere and that started a whole thing in it’s self as you guys were throwing leaves everywhere

Than off to Fontaine where you all had wanted to try the delicious autumn themed treats. From sweets to drinks you all tried them all and as you were drinking your (drink choice) Aether asked if you wanted to try some of his drink as well where you took a sip from his cup and you offered yours and Lumine had watched as Aether drank where you had drank your cup, putting his lips where you just put yours and did the same for his cup. So after that Lumine had gotten a treat and asked if wanted a bite and when you were going to grab some Lumine was ready to feed you, you wanted to say no but she was giving you such a cute look.Hey both stopped when you and Paimon had a discussion on which treat was better almost starting a war, all in good fun

Then to Inazuma where you all decide to go see a pumpkin patch there. You had a competition on who can find the biggest pumpkin as you all looked around and it being a tie, said by Paimon. From there you all had wanted to paint and carve your pumpkins which you all did in Inazuma. As you were showing off your carving skills you couldn’t help but be jealous of both Aether and Lumine which you commented and both faves were growing red and when you turned to Paimon she was just painting all of you, which was adorable.

Now you all stopped at Liyue for the market place just to see if they have anything. It was nice cause you all went around looking at stuff and buying stuff. You even bought things for the twins and Paimon and asked if they all wanted a sleep over at your house. They agreed and from there you all stocked up on things for the slumber party in Liyue.

Once home you had asked if they can put on a little fashion show for you as you wanted to see the close they got and what you had gotten for them. They all proudly posed and showed off their clothes and were very moved by the clothes you gotten them as it really fit their style. And when it was your turn they all cheered as you showed off and when asked which outfit was better, by what Aether and Lumine had gotten you, you had to say. “Honestly I can’t decide you two are very good at picking out stuff for me”, and with that it was a tie.

During the sleep over you all had played games, tell stories, gossip, read books, and by night you all were tired. You had told the twins and Paimon to take your as would just use some blankets and make a little bed on your floor. With that you all argued from that you should take the bed and they take the floor, you sleep with one twin and the other is on the floor, then to Paimon takes the bed and you all sleep on the floor.

You all just agreed to try and sleep on the bed all together. That’s how you were left with ten twins curled up on each side with you and Paimon sleeping on your chest. Was it comfortable probably not, but would you rather be somewhere else maybe? But it was all washed away when you took a good look at everyone and just seeing how comfortable and happy they were if made you love autumn a bit more now.

Oneshot -Killing Butterflies

Fandom: Genshin Impact

Ships: Aether x reader ; Childe x reader ; Childe x Zhongli

TW: Aether x reader ; reader x Tartaglia ; Tartaglia x Zhongli (if you squint) ; Major angst ; character death ; hurt no comfort ; Aether loves reader, reader loves Tartaglia, Tartaglia loves Zhongli ; reader dies ; implied death ; gn reader-no gender is given to reader

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

This is a whole bucket full of angst so have fun lol. Also, for context i would recommend reading this post of mine. Anyways enjoy reading! (*^▽^*)

Aether couldn't bear to see you like this. To watch you through yourself at him when he no longer loved you. It was pitiful really. How you begged for him to stay. You were attached to him while he moved on. Tartaglia didn't hate you, he simply didn't love you anymore. Tartaglia moved on and fell in love with someone else; his best friend. You couldn't do anything about it but simply accept what had happened. Though you could never move on from him as he had done.  

And so Aether watched as you fell deeper into despair. He tried to lift you up, to show you how much you were loved and that you didn't need Tartaglia to feel loved, that there was someone else who loved you dearly. You were too blinded by your sorrow to notice how Aether thought of you.  

As much as Aether wanted to do more for you he couldn't and so he let himself be a shoulder to cry on for you. Hoping. Praying. That one day you would see how much he cared for you. 

You had been going to Aether nearly every day for about a week just to cry. He was your dearest friend after all.  Until one day you stopped.  

Aether thought you simply needed a bit of space to get over your heartache.  

That was a week ago though. 

It had been two weeks since he last saw you, and he was getting worried.  

He stood outside your home, knocked, telling you it was only him and that he was worried because he hadn't saw you in two weeks. 

Silence 

He knocked again. 

Nothing 

He wasn't fond of entering without your permission but he had to make sure you were alright. He needed to make sure. 

He went to open the door to find it was unlocked already, though it wasn't uncommon for you, it seemed to unnerve him for some reason. Your home was dark, the curtains were all closed and no light was on. The lack of light only made him worry more. You always had light in your home whether from open curtains or candles lit at night so for your house to be so dark in the middle of the day was worrisome. He walked around your house looking for you until he came to your room. 

The door was closed and at first it seemed deadly silent from within your room as it was in the rest of your house. He stood there silently until he heard what sounded like a sob come from within your room. He opened the door to find you curled in on yourself in the corner of the room on your bed.  

"Y/n are you-" 

However you were surrounded by butterflies. 

Red butterflies. 

Blood Red butterflies 

"Aether?" 

He knew what was happening. He had seen this before. A friend from another world had died the exact same way, but he hadn't heard of it happening on Teyvat. He didn’t think it was possible here. He didn't want to believe it.  

"How long has this been going on for y/n?" Aether inquired while walking over to your side. 

"A-about two weeks now," you paused, taking a breath. "Aether do you know what's wrong with me?" 

The look in Aether's eyes told you the answer to your question. It hurt Aether to see you like this, to hear you sound broken. It seemed that at the very least the disease wasn't well known in Teyvat if at all. 

You didn't have much longer. It was obvious with how pale you were and the number of butterflies around you. Most people barely survived a month with the disease. Typically the victim died within three to four weeks of obtaining it. So it was easy to tell you would be dead soon. 

He stayed by your side, tending to you as you slowly grew weaker and couldn't perform simple tasks let alone even walk. The only time he left your side was to inform Tartaglia of your condition and what was going to happen as well as ask Albedo if he knew anything of the disease. 

Aether was told that while it did exist in Teyvat, it was extremely rare. 

The moment Aether got back he was immediately by your side again. 

You died in his arms five days later. 

He laid you down on your bed as the butterflies landed on and around you to rest peacefully alongside with you.  

Aether sat on the ground next to your bed, closing his eyes only to start coughing. He looked at his hand only to be met with flowers. 

Red flowers. 

Blood Red flowers.

I've come to realize that while I'm not the biggest fan of reading angst, I sure do love writing it.

the light-filled gaze of the prince of darkness

SYP. the prince of the abyss looks down upon a lonely soul with an unfamiliar affectionate gaze

CHARA. abyss prince aether

WARNINGS. cussing, spit (figuratively), ding dong ditch /j

NOTES. valentines is coming👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩💏👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 where is your bf🤷‍♀️🤨you are sitting at home🫵👀lonelyyy😹😹🤣‼️ i deeply apologies for that i wasn’t in the right state of mind

masterlist || art credits

you hated valentines day. well, not really. the red and pink hues everywhere that were suppost to get you into the "valentine's mood" did nithing but annoy you. seeing couples walking around with either them hands or arms tangled with each other was simply sickening.

maybe it was jealousy? you've never really had a valentines before despite your appearance. seeing people gushing and squealing about what theur significant others got them was sweet at first but not as much now. but its not like you hated valentine's day...

"come on, [ name ], lighten up!" your friend teases "nobody's suppost to be so downcast right now when tomorrow's valentine's day!"

you sigh. despite you being terribly avaliable for tomorrow's holiday, your friend seems to be happier than ever. apparently, they scored a “date” with the traveler. the both of you know that she just wants some company while doing commissions but your friend insists that she’s head over heels in love with them.

“easy for you to say, at least you’re not stuck at your house for the MONTH.” you groan before slamming your head on the wooden table. your friend leans over to pat your head. sure, your occupation letting you go on leave for a month was kind but that left you nothing to do for that month. your house was spotless, you had enough groceries in your fridge to last you 6 weeks, and you were even healthy and well-rested. you literally had nothing to do and the boredom was killing you.

“well, you always have me if you want company!” your friend said trying to cheer you up, which quickly backfired when they spotted the traveler out of the corner of their eye, sprung up, quickly said thank you for the treat, and ran over to “pursue his girl.” god… they were so cringey… you decided that it was time for you to leave as well, picking up your bag and leaving good hunter to make your way back home

the way back doesn’t usually take you more than 20 minutes, but the main road was blocked due to abyss mage activity so you sought out a new route. the 20 minute journey surely wasn’t 20 minutes because half an hour in you were treading through a thick forest. the forest was lush, dark, and quiet as you could hear your thumping heart. you became anxious as you held your back to your chest and continued on.

a little more into the journey, your ears caught the sound of metal clashing. you assumed that someone was sparring, or even throwing stones (if you were to push it), but you definitely netly wasn’t ready to see a beam of pure energy before your eyes. this burst of light was followed by a scream that faded into silence.

you look to the source of the blast, weaving around the burnt vegetation to see a golden figure standing at arm. his figure seems to shake as he pants, his eyes look dull and unfocused and his sword as golden as his hair. his figure suddenly relaxes and falls, and as the boy’s body faints your own body moves on its own to aid it.

as you skid on the grass to reach to him, you position his head to lay on your lap. a trail of his blood — which is a rich golden colour — runs from the scalp of his head and from a thin line from the corner of his slightly open mouth. his clothes are a deep shade of blue that resembles the depth of the abyss with light golden streaks of what you think his blood is. you reach over to your bag to get your first-aid kit to clean and that any visible wounds.

after patching him up, you wonder if you should take him home with you. but what if you are overstepping some sort of boundary? you don't even know the guy! but, you do have a bed at home that would be 10× more comfortable than the grass and your lap.

"fuck it."

you struggled to lift his limb body onto your back, you were trying to carry him back with his sword but the journey was difficult. a stranger on your back, an unfamiliar sword in your right and your bag in your left, could the day get any more interesting?

as you got home to your small apartment in qingce village, you lay the unconsious figure on your bed, placing the golden sword on the other side of the bed. after placing your bag in the furthermost corner of the room you look over to the boy on your bed. If you were to be completely honest, he's absolutely stunning. his youthful face, pristine, free of any bruise or blemish that were not scars from previous battles, was at ease. His broad chest rises and fell at a steady rhythm, signalling that he was asleep. His lips, oh heavens, his lips, were slightly agape and were oh so inviting.

for the second time that day, your body moves on its own. you kiss the boy. pulling away, you quickly come to your senses and rush out of the room.

what in celestia's name were you thinking?? kissing an unconsious body? scratch that, kissing an unconsious STRANGER? the guilt was eating you alive. youre sure that your distressed pacing has probably woken him up by now so you decide to get him a glass of water.

your hunch was correct as you see the boy sitting upright on your bed. his hair spread across thr pillow he was previously laying on, and was staring at you with cold eyes

"before you say anything" you start to speak "you passed out in the forest nearby after fighting... something"

you try to console him but his shoulders are still tense, showing that he is still on guard. to try and subside his concerns, you place the glass of water you brought for him on the dresser beside your bed then quickly return to your original position in front of the door.

his glare was ruthless, its like he was trying to pick apart any ulterior motives you might have had against him, against his goals. he sighs when he senses none, still looking at you as if you had spat on his face.

“if you still feel weary of me, all you had to do is just say so” you comment as you leave the boy to grotto on his own. murmuring how its not like you saves his life or anything under your breathe. even though everything was technically taken care of, you were sure you could find something to do. maybe make him something to eat? but you would have to ask for any allergies or dislikes. sure, he looks like you like your the scum of the earth but you ould feel cautious if you were to just randomly wake up in someone’s bed. walking back into your room you announce:

“hey, do you want anything to ea—”

he was gone.

“okay…”

you look around the room to see if he had left anything but it was like he was never here in the first place, he had even straighten back the bed covers making him more of a mystery to you. well, all but a single open notebook on your desk. the note read:

thanks for saving my life, your actions will not go unrewarded.

what does he mean by rewarded?

🫐 ༊*·˚

your unexpected visiter came the day before, it was valentine’s day. you had fully expected to spend the day alone so you didn’t even bother to get ready. your friend had their “hot date” with the traveler so you couldn’t seek them out. it was really just you, yourself, and the book you had curled up with on your sofa.

the book was a horror book, you knew better than to read a romance book on the literal day of romance, in the most romantic city in teyvat. that was just a recipe for despair. the main character in the book was being chased into an abandoned shack in the middle of nowhere, having blocked the door with their own body as the antagonist attempted to bang it down. the hairs on your arm stood up from the sheer adrenaline you got from reading a book. maybe horror wasn’t the best genre to read for you, maybe you should of re-read flowers for princess fischl for the gazillionth time, maybe— someone knocked on the door.

maybe it was the boogie man from the book, you mused to yourself as you got up to greet whoever was at the door. when you opened it and saw no one, your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. you could’ve sworn you heard someone knock on the door. as you look around your front yard, the varanda, and even down the road at other houses, nothing. you hissed your teeth and closed the door, stopping as your eyes caught something at the base of your feet.

it was a flower of some sort, four white petals and one light blue one with yellow pollen. the unfamiliar flower was accompanied by a note. taking up the note with your left as you gently brushed the light blue petal with your right, the note — which seemed more like a letter since the small piece of paper unfolded — read:

since small talks aren’t necessary, i won’t bore you. i want to formally thank you for aiding me back in the ⍼ൠᴥ௵ஔ forest. i will take full responsibility for my inattentiveness in the situation. the flower that this letter is accompanied by is called an inteyvat. these flowers do not whither once they are plucked, showing my gratefulness for your aid.

i am aware that there is a holiday in which mortals celebrate on this day, i do not have enough information on this event, but i am aware that it is celebrated in pairs. if it is your desire, we may celebrate this holiday together. i am also aware that the celebrants have to be asked formally to participate so you will see this letter as such. if you need me, simply call out my name and i will be there.

oh, so this is the guy you helped yesterday, but why was his writing so formal? and yeah was up with his name? you looked at the name in confusion, this definitely wasn’t a common name since you have never heard it before. you weren’t even sure how to pronounce it. looking around your surroundings once more, you whisper the name to see if he was actually true.

little to your knowledge the same golden figure stood on nearby mountains, the look on his eyes was a stark opposite from how he looked at you yesterday. instead of sharp and sturdy eyes, his eyes were soft and gentle. in all of the millennia that he has travelled, during and without lumine, he had never looked at someone the way he looked at you in this moment. as he takes one final look at your smile that was made from reading his script, he turns his back to you and acknowledges the abyss mages who bows at his feet.

you definitely didn’t expect to have an impromptu valentine’s letter, neither did you expect t9 have any sort of company. you are thankful his prescence, the boy… oh, what was his name again? ahh, aether.

characters : Aether and Jean (separate) (yes I did the overworked duo)

I’ve done : Amber ,Kaeya ,Venti ,Heizou ,Ningguang and Zhongli (linked in my master list

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Aether

When you discovered your identity ,you wanted to tell your boyfriend ,but the problem is ,he is constantly stressed and has work constantly put on him even when he doesn’t offer to help ,but the problem is he doesn’t know how to say no.

You wanted to tell him ,but you were scared this would put some stress on him or make him dislike you. So you kept it in until it ‘felt right’ to say it ,but then days turned into weeks into months and you haven’t even try to hint it.

This was until one day your dysphoria was horrible that day and you couldn’t take it anymore ,you let all your tears out and all your thoughts were attacking you ,you couldn’t escape it no matter how hard you battled ,its still just there and you can’t escape it.

until you heard

*Opens door* “(____) I’m home! “ said your boyfriend extremely excited to see you ,but ….where exactly are you? Until he heard

“*sniff* Hey (pet name) . Glad your back home” you said behind a closed door

“Babe is everything.. ok?” Aether said concerned wondering what was going on ,he always told you if you have a problem tell him ,he will solve it .Maybe you thought he was too busy for you ,maybe he didn’t give enough attention to you, maybe you.. don’t love him anymore? He instantly disagreed with the last one

But still what were you hiding from him?

He opened the door to se you disheveled and in tears on the floor of your shared bedroom.

“Babe! Are you ok? Is there a problem? Please tell me ,I will help you with anything ,I promise!” He asked well in a panic

“Y-yeah I’m fine A-Aether ,noo need to worry” you said clearly not fine

“I can see your lying to me (____) ,please tell me the truth ,I won’t judge you.” He said from a loud to quiet tone

“W-well ,*sigh*…….” You explained how you had been feeling recently and how it was affecting you ,but how you didn’t want him to worry.

“(___) I had no idea you’ve been feeling this way ,honey you know I will help you with anything and that you have my full support ” he said well snuggling into your neck

“Is there anyway I can help? Maybe getting clothing ,but then I need to schedule and think of the windblume festival and-“

“Aether I appreciate this ,but having you be with me is enough”

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

Jean

You loved your girlfriend Jean ,but it always feels loney .Since she’s busy with paper work and your busy with (————-) so the two of you barely see each other ,which made it hard to process in the relationship ,but you two found a way.

recently you found out your transgender and were excited and nervous to tell your girlfriend. That was until, you realized that if you wanted to do that ,you would have to be awake at basically 3 am to see an overworked Jean. You instead decided to do it on an off day.

You also wanted this to be surprise for Jean ,because she is overworked and this is probably only one off day in the year ,so you decided to get her something.

There was one person you knew that would probably know around when she gets her off day. Barbara ,that’s because Barbara is Jean’s sister. So she would also know what to get for Jean.

The day had came where it was her off day

“Jean ,(insert pet name) ,guess what special day it is?” You say waking up next to her

“Mhmm I don’t know if remember ,but you seem more excited about this ,so that means it’s a good day for us or just you” she says drowsily

“Yep! Let’s get breakfast then go to the Windrise tree !”

‘Ok ok ,let me just get dressed ok?” She asks

“Ok Jean” you said

you wait for about 30 minutes ,until she came out in her summer uniform which is good ,because it was a hot day today

the both of you enjoyed your breakfast and ,after lots of catching up the both of you were already there.

“Jean I have something to tell you” you asked quietly “Yes anything honey.” She responded

“Well Recently I’ve found out that I think I’m a (preferred gender) and would appreciate if you call by __/__ pronouns instead ,if you don’t wanna date me anymore that’s fine.“

She was shocked at that last part ,because why would she leave you? You are one of the bests thing she has in her life. “(____)….. I didn’t know you felt that way ,but always know I will support you for who you are. And will definitely will help you on this journey. I would never leave you for who you are and you are one of the bests things I have in my life”

you look at her in awe ,until saying a very quite ,but happy ‘thank you

she grabs you into a hug and you both cuddle

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

sometimes, aether was afraid of himself for having so many chaotic friends that were so so different and unique in their own ways.

first was childe being the rich friend of the friendgroup, and someones wallet (cough cough zhongli) he was also quite a battle addicted person, starting fights every now and then.

zhongli was the one friend that forgets their money almost every single time so people think hes broke (i bet hes rich by how much he forgets his money and use’s other people instead) he would also be the friend that tells tales to the others.

raiden ei is the bad cook, she may probably be the worst cook alive ever, as ei has burnt down the kitchen not once, not twice, not thrice, but i cannot count. she has burnt the food enough too. oh and did i mention that ei is quite obsessed with the idea of eternity (dont say eternity is stupid she’ll electrify you..)

venti, or should i say.. barbatos. is quite a heavy drinker, be careful to store your wine somewhere safe (tip for diluc) but its not like it could escape the nose of this drunkard. he is quite a goofball at times, but he can get serious. be careful of this drunkard so called drunken bard of the college.

albedo, (the love of my life.) the class scientist, he was known as chalk prince though. his intelligence exceeds some of the teachers, even if he can graduate already he stays in college for a little while. (to see me ofc..) he says its for experiments and because he thinks its quite unfair if he graduated.

rubedo (my love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️) was often called the imperfect version of albedo, he gets quite annoyed whenever people called him that, so aether has to step in. just in case he made another student go to the hospital again.

they all (i’m too lazy to do the other characters ok.. shut ur mouth) caused quite a bit of trouble, expect for the good boys (razor, bennet, thoma🫶🫶)

anyways— to meet or die a lonely death, was your moto, (wym its o u r s) and you met aether exactly the same time you’ve said that, causing him to be quite concerned for your well being and confused as well. meet who?— that was what he wondered the most, though he never said it out-loud.

seeing your eyes shimmering with such hope, made him— feel things.. he didnt know what to say to it— it felt so new yet so familiar at the same time.

he could only watch you as you smile so happily talking about if you ever ended up with someone. his heart aches at the thought of you loving other people, but he cannot do anything about it. after who is HE to do anything in your love life?

Underneath the Christmas Lights pt. 1

mondstadt genshin men x gn reader (aether, diluc, venti, albedo, kaeya)

— how they keep you warm while shopping w you on Christmas Eve—

aether —

you were out shopping with him since your ass decided to wait last minute. he didn't bother trying to convince you to not do it next year (it was inevitable) but instead took a seat for the chaotic ride.

he watched you run around shops and plazas, looking for what'll be the 'best' gift for your friends and family.

eventually you bought everything and he helped you carry some stuff as you two walked on the lively street. the trees had lights around them, the shops were bright and colorful and aether saw your eyes sparkle.

your face was red as your ears and your hands trembled underneath the cold atmosphere. he sighed, no one is as irresponsible as you...

you pointed to decorations on the street for aether to see but there was no commentary. you turn to him, his hand already extended for you to grab his pair of gloves.

"huh?"

aether takes off his precious scarf, the one his beloved sister gave him many Christmases ago and wraps it around you. "i'm making sure you aren't cold. i never expected you to be so irresponsible..." he laughs at the last bit.

diluc —

he was such a gentleman! he carried all of the bags from gifts you bought carefully as he watched you scurry around. he didn't say anything about your childishness but let you be you.

you asked him plently about the gifts like you needed his opinion. he would respond with what you wanted to hear (unless it was absolutely garbage and let you down easily) and you didn't know the difference.

you finished shopping with his input and instead of letting you go bankrupt , diluc offers to pay for you!

he walked behind you, carrying everything that was humanly possible, leaving almost nothing for you to hold. you wandered on the street, pointing at random things like decorations and possible gifts.

your arm shook, maybe because you weren't wearing a coat and diluc puts down all the gifts he was carrying.

he takes off his coat and before you know it, he had already wrapped the warm cloth around your figure. he cleared his throat.

"you were gonna freeze to death, now come on. let's go." he picks up the bags he placed and continues walking.

venti —

he, like you, also decided to wait last minute to shop for gifts. you both run around the shopping center like your life depended on it, occasionally exchanging gifts because it was easier that way.

you would see him in stores beside you and only wave a small 'hello' before quickly leaving and searching for another present.

the shopping spree ends with you and venti carrying a ton of bags on each hand. you two are both panting and exhausted (as well as your credit card since venti's got declined halfway).

on the way out of the mall, you notice cute decorations and mellow shops that just scream bankruptcy. venti acknowledges them too but doesn't want you to spend any more of (y)our money and persuades you to leave the building.

it was cold outside, which affected you more than it did him. he was fully dressed: a pair of mittens, earmuffs, a teal scarf, and even a lively cape. you on the other hand wasn't even bothered to put on a jacket. venti decided to make this his problem.

he stopped you before you even reached the mall's parking lot, setting down both of you guys' presents and taking off all of his warm clothing (besides the goofy cape).

he puts it all on you messily but you can appreciate the sentiment. "there! now you're all nice and cozy."

albedo —

he never had the time to go out shopping, nevertheless he always wanted to. klee managed to convince him to go with you (she cried), since she wanted more than the occasional five gifts from her mother and him.

he let you run around the streets but to an organized manner. he helped plan out your routes so shopping would be faster.

when you finish shopping for your friends and family (and klee), he didn't carry as much as the others would, simply carrying the cargo you couldn't. albedo didn't really mind it though.

you were panting and whining that the bags are heavy but the male simply ignored your words, watching your breath turn into fog in the cold weather.

he wasn't naturally cold nor did he mind the cold so seeing you shiver and carry over a hundred pounds of presents made him a bit protective of you.

albedo taps your shoulder and takes off his jacket. your jaw dropped (and so did the gifts) when he placed it around you gently.

he picked up the gifts you dropped, not bothering to give them back. "you weren't made for the cold, so there. let's go home now."

kaeya —

he had already completed shopping last month but wanted to follow along on your adventure. he also wanted to see want you'd buy him, his nosy ass.

he snooped around your bags when you weren't looking, secretly interested in what you were getting other people. he didn't mind you running around the stores as long as he can keep up.

he offered to pay for your gifts in exchange for a present. he was already getting one but just to make sure. he carried a little bit less than you, his back had already been hurting and he didn't want to make it worse (also to look like a trophy husband).

you walk with him down the street admiring the decorations that shop keepers put their heart and soul to putting into. kaeya watches you from his one eye and smiles as you wander around.

he attempted to hold your hand but instead saw the shivers you let out. your ears and cheeks were also red. he sighs, leading you to turn around.

"kaeya?" you ask, only seeing your buddy taking off his fluffy cape. he wraps it around you, the fur brushing against your cheek and he looks at you with small hearts in his eyes.

"what? can't handle the cold? now hurry along, dear."

[nariism]

your boyfriend can't sleep without you anymore.

he used to be tormented by thoughts that kept him awake at night, leaving him tossing and turning until he could hear birds chirping. he was always sort of an insomniac. and it showed, too, when people would point out how irritated he looked every morning.

he's slotted between your legs with his arms around your torso. you're balancing a book on his head: elemental slimes and their applications. it's hefty but the weight reassures him for some reason, proves to him that your existence isn't some figment of his imagination— you're real and holding him like he's some kind of sacred treasure.

one of your hands is in his hair, mindlessly twirling and combing through it. the other is pulling him closer to your body by the back of the neck, effectively squishing him against you.

"did you know that dendro slime flowers taste bitter?" he only hums in response, eyes growing heavy with sleep. his lack of a proper answer tells you all you need to know. the book atop his head closes and is exchanged with your lips, pressing gentle kisses down to his forehead as you peel him away from you to settle into bed.

all the thoughts that would usually keep him up are replaced only by you. you and your warm hands, soft kisses and excerpts from the book you're reading.

he falls asleep before you can even turn the lamp off.

[unearthly-doting]

the wind will guide you home

a/n: idk idk i just really like the anemo characters soso much. kept it pretty vague i think so you can decide if the reader is willing or unwilling. no faruzan or lynette bc i couldn't think of anything for them :(

includes: aether, lumine, venti, jean, xiao, kazuha, sucrose, heizou, and wanderer.

premise: you wandered a little too far away from your partner for their liking. maybe you were trying to escape, maybe not. but don't worry, they'll find you.

warnings: mdni, yandere content, gn reader, implied/referenced kidnapping, overprotective behavior, possessive behavior, obsessive behavior, implied drugging, stalking, unhealthy relationships, vague mentions of dependency, uh whatever the fuck is happening in wanderer's section.

AETHER — is immediately panicked the moment he realizes you aren't by his side anymore. he never lets you travel with him, it was dangerous and you were safer tucked away in the little area he kept you in, safe from the dangers of this mysterious world. it was his fault, really. he had forgotten to lock the door the last time he visited, having been in such a hurry for one reason or another. you, for some reason, had decided to leave even though he had told you time and time again that it was dangerous. he wouldn't waste any time looking for you, hurrying outside, and using everything he had to his advantage to search for you. if you have a vision, he's definitely using his elemental sight to track you down. and when he does find you, he's immediately latching himself onto you, clinging to you and breathing a sigh of relief. he was completely oblivious to the horrified look on your face, just glad to have you in his arms again. "let's get you home. it's not safe for you out here."

LUMINE — would more than likely notice immediately when you vanish. she keeps you at her side at all times to ensure that she can protect you, so you're rarely ever away from her. the moment she sees that you're gone, she's abandoning whatever it was she was doing to find you. it doesn't matter if it was a commission or some important task that will help her get a better understanding of this world. you were more important than that right now. you needed to be back by her side. her tracking skills were incredibly good, so you wouldn't get far before she had you in her sights again. it doesn't matter if you were trying to escape or if you were just distracted and wandered off, the grip she had on your wrist was tight once she caught up to you, and she refused to let you go until the two of you were back at whatever inn or camp you two were staying at. she'll bind your hands together and tie the end of the rope to her wrist if you try arguing with her. "i can't keep you safe if you refuse to stay by my side."

VENTI — is honestly the only one here that will find you like almost immediately. even if he isn't paying attention to you and instead wowing a crowd with his amazing bard skills, the wind will tell him the moment you're gone. he'll stop midstory at the news, politely excusing himself and promising to be back later with an even better story. he'll let the wind guide him, listening to the whispers as he hurries down the streets of mondstadt, picking up pace when the wind tells him you were heading for the main gate of the city. if he uses his powers as the anemo archon to cause a harsh gust of wind to knock everyone away from the gates of the city just so he can catch up with you, then... well... it's not like anyone will know it was him. other than you, of course. and the moment you recovered from hitting the ground, venti was at your side and helping you up. he let you keep your freedom, most of it at least, but he didn't want you to leave the city if he wasn't at your side. he doesn't let go of your hand as he drags you back, an upbeat smile on his face as he playfully spoke, "you're missing my performance! you know i can't perform without my biggest fan watching me." you miss the tightly concealed desperation in his eyes as he stared at you. you can't leave him. he won't let you.

JEAN — is so busy with work that she rarely has the time to keep track of every little move you make. honestly, she probably won't realize you're gone until kaeya or amber drop by and tell her that they saw you wandering outside the city, seemingly heading in the direction of liyue. she's immediately abandoning whatever paperwork she had been looking through, hurrying out of her office and rushing past the citizens in the city to get to you. her mind was running wild trying to figure out why you would even think about leaving the city, let alone leaving without telling her. she's almost out of breath by the time she finds you, the sun starting to set as she crashes into you in a tight hug while rapid-fire questioning you on why you were leaving mondstadt and if she did something wrong and what she could do to make it better. it isn't hard to calm her down, cutting off her questions and explaining that you were simply going to visit some family in liyue and that you had left a note for her at home because you didn't want to bother her when she was so busy. whether or not that was the truth, she didn't care. she was pulling you back in the direction of the city, shaking her head. "no, i can't focus on anything when you aren't here. i need you."

XIAO — felt a little hurt, finding you gone. he was one of the hardest to get away from, always at your side unless the traveler called him away or something happened that required his attention. he thought you had gotten used to him by now, seeing as you never shied away from him when he was around anymore. so yeah, he was real fucking hurt when he returned to the inn and found your room empty. not even verr knew where you had gone. he isn't the type to immediately panic, but he is tense and will gradually get more agitated the longer it takes to find you. if he finds you quickly, the most you'll get is a cold glare as he drags you back to the inn. if he finds you after searching for hours upon hours, he will cling to you as if you would disappear if he let go. his breathing would be heavy, his face buried in your neck as he grounds himself. you were back in his arms, and either way, he wasn't going to let you leave his sight until he was sure you weren't going to pull a stunt like this again. if you want to wander around, then just ask and he'll go with you. "don't ever do that again. don't... don't ever leave me like that."

KAZUHA — would feel torn. while he understands the need and desire to roam the world and take in all that one can process, he also felt uncomfortable when you weren't around. a sick feeling budding in his chest, wondering if maybe you weren't wandering off but instead trying to leave him. he wants to trust you, and most of the time he does, but... you've tried leaving him before. many times, actually, that he's lost count. so, as much as he would love to leave you to your own devices, he just didn't trust you enough. he would ask other travelers if they'd seen you by chance, and some would point him in your direction while others would shake their heads. no matter, he took any and all help given to him until he finally spotted you. his approach was quiet, and you were startled when you had finally noticed him. he didn't say anything for a moment, just staring at you. there was something about his gaze that felt more intense than normal. it was like he was studying you, deciphering your actions. it didn't last long, because the look was replaced with a soft smile as he held his hand out, beckoning you to take it. "let's walk together."

SUCROSE — also didn't immediately notice. similar to jean, she can get pretty busy with work and gets so invested that she'll often times forget her surroundings. it's only when albedo or noelle make a comment on you not being by her side that she snaps to attention, looking around with a puzzled expression. when had you left? how long had you been gone? when she had last spoken to you, the sun was high in the sky. it was dark now. she would stutter out a quick departure to whichever friend had told her you were gone before scurrying away to try and find you. she would have the hardest time finding you, nervously approaching strangers on the street and asking if they had seen you or not. one person mentioned seeing you at the barbatos statue, and she immediately darted off in that direction without sparing the informant a second glance. and she was damn near tears when she found you. she wouldn't understand why you had left without telling her first, wondering if maybe she had done something to upset you. she'd be apologizing, telling you she was sorry if she made you mad, and begging you to come home. given how you two were in public, you felt a bit out of place so you agreed just to stop having people look at you. she would hug your arm the entire time, refusing to let go until the two of you were back at her home. and then she'd offer you something to drink! as an apology! and, well... if she puts a little something in it to tire you out, then that's too bad. "o-oh, you feel sick? maybe you should try to rest... don't worry, i'll be here to take care of you."

HEIZOU — would be the second one to find you quickly. he's a detective, so obviously he'll be able to track you down with ease! your attempts at trying to cover were tracks were adorable but futile. he had found you probably a mere hour after you had gone off, though he didn't immediately make his presence known. he was curious as to why you had left so abruptly without telling him, wondering if maybe something had happened or if you were, perhaps, trying to leave him. but you wouldn't do that! right? either way, he's following you in secret. some may call this stalking, but he calls it... lovingly admiring from afar. this'll go on for hours, more than likely. he's not in any rush to drag you home, and he gets to partake in his favorite pastime! so, by all means, continue walking. he'll probably do a few things here and there to startle you, making noises by shaking bushes and branches or throwing rocks. he likes seeing you on edge; he thinks you're cute when you're constantly looking around, searching for him. of course, once you get too close to ritou for his liking, he'll bring the fun to an end and finally make his presence known by hugging you from behind, a cheeky smile on his expression as you tense up. "caught you!" he hums, pressing a kiss to the back of your neck as if to prove to you that he was actually there. maybe he'll lock you up at home for a few days just to keep you all to himself. y'know, as his prize for catching you.

WANDERER — thinks it's amusing, honestly, that you think you can sneak off without him noticing. he'll let you go off on your own and let you think you have the freedom of doing so, but only because he has other pressing matters to attend to. he'll take is time too, going about his tasks at a languid pace, not at all worried about where you may be or where you might go. some people may ask about your whereabouts since you're usually almost always with him, and he'll just offer them a smile that... well. it puts them on edge, to be honest, and it makes them drop the topic. he'll even occasionally take breaks, enjoying a drawn-out lunch with nahida and even deciding to indulge the traveler a bit and walk with them through the city. but the moment he finishes all of his tasks for the day, he's going after you. you've had enough freedom today, and he wants you back at his side. it's where you belong, after all. he won't lie, it's exciting, searching for you like this. he wonders if you know whether or not he's after you. maybe you've been looking over your shoulder the entire day, wondering if he'll be right behind you. the thought alone fills him with an almost gleeful joy. and when he does find you, he's not wasting a single second before grabbing you, lips twitching upwards slightly at the startled shout you let out. "did you have fun?" he'll ask, though it would be hard to tell if he wanted a serious answer or not. he doesn't really care, in all honesty. you're back in his arms, right where you belong. his prized possession.

[wanderingconstellations]

He's so pussydrunk that he fucks you so fucking good that you're just too blissed out to even comprehend his praises. He babbles about how good you're to him, how you're taking him and how beautiful you are. Fuck, he just loves how your warmth is wrapped around him. It's so good, he loves being buried deep inside of you, feeling your warm gummy walls wrapped so tightly around him, practically milking him out. He's just in love, so in love. He loves everything about you, all the way to your tight n' warm cunt that flutters around him whenever the crown of his cock would kiss your womb with every thrust he made. Your sweet, sweet moans were music to his ears. He would die happily like this if he could.

He's the one who makes you a dumb, babbling, cockdrunk for him. He has your face flushed into the pillows, tears forming in your eyes, cheeks flushed and drool coming from the corner of your lips. You were babbling incoherent words, but he found it cute that you were too overstimulated, too cockdrunk to even comprehend anything. It's not like he minded, afterall, that pretty little head of your don't need to think about anything except for his cock that continues to ram inside of you, mixed cum leaking out of your hole and staining his cock. Your walls were squeezing him so tightly while he gives another slap to your cheek, making you jolt forward a bit and yelp from the sensation of his slap. He's so mean, he would slap your ass to keep you awake, pull your hair, and leave bruises on your hips..but it's not like you minded anyway. Afterall m, you're his cute little cockdrunk slut <33

[abyssruler]

would they choose you over the world?

aether (traveler), dainsleif, scaramouche, raiden ei, lumine (abyss), venti, xiao x gn!reader

AETHER thinks he can save both, no, he knows he can. The powers of this world rests at the tips of his fingers. He’s faced monsters and gods and come out alive and better than he was before. There’s no reason to hesitate, none whatsoever to consider his decision but—but. He has never been made to choose before. There was always another way, another choice, another something he could rely on. It’s a moral dilemma, like the situation with the train where you either save five people and kill one person, or kill five people to save one person. It’s easy enough to answer when it was simply that—a moral dilemma created to confuse him, not a world ending decision that lies on his shoulders. To choose one is to doom the other. Most people would choose the world, but while Aether is called a hero and the savior of nations, he is also a person. He looks at your resigned smile, like you already know which one he’ll choose, and he decides to prove you wrong.

DAINSLEIF clings to loss like a dying man does to the edge of a cliff. The inevitability of death and your mortality rests on his shoulders much like weight of his entire nation’s death. He wonders what it says about him that he’d rather have you safe and sound than have the world be saved. Five hundred years of aimless wandering, fighting against the remnants of his fallen nation and watching the world move on while he remains untouched by time, the ghost of a past that can never be returned to. Dainsleif isn’t a hero, he’s tired. All that’s left of him are fading memories of a time gone by and moments with you that he clings to like a lifeline. What has this world ever done for him except cause him pain and needless grief? What has it done to deserve his sacrifice? Nothing. And so he rests, hand in hand with you on withering grass and waits for the world to end. At least, this time, he won’t be alone in watching the heavens descend.

SCARAMOUCHE laughs, and laughs, and laughs until he’s sure even the gods that reside in Celestia has heard the scorn and mockery in his voice. It is so laughably easy to choose you and denounce the world. Let it be turned to ash and dust, let his body dance on top of a desolate world, let him pull you in an embrace and delight in the fact that no sun and no light (for none of these exist anymore) would ever outmatch the brightness in your eyes, the smile on your face, the tinkling sound of your laughter amidst the remains of a world that once threatened to snuff your life like a candle left in the dark. He is like a flame and you, the spark. There’s a tsunami gathering on the horizon, threatening to drown everything in its wake, but instead of preventing it, he revels in the ruin it will bring. It is either your death alone or yours and everyone else, and if you have to die either way, then he will die with you and drag the rest of the world along in his self-appointed destruction. You taught him what it felt to no longer be alone, so he will make sure you’re never lonely, even in death.

EI feels weightless, like a leaf adrift in the wind. It feels like she is back to that moment five hundred (a thousand) years ago, a dilemma, a decision, a choice—follow Makoto to Khaenri’ah, or defend her people from the monsters ravaging the lands? There was uncertainty there, a small seedling of hope that she would arrive not far from Makoto and see her sister alive and waiting, and so she had made the decision to stay—but this? Faced with an ultimatum, the world or your death, Ei finds that the decision is much more difficult, much more devastating but no less heartbreaking. Had it been before, in her lonesome at the Plane of Euthymia, the choice would have been easy, barely a thought in her mind, but everything has changed and Ei wants, in a way she has never wanted before, to be with you. You with your smiles and your laughs and the warmth you induce in her frigid heart—and she finds that she cannot make a choice… so you do it for her. For the greater good.

LUMINE doesn’t hesitate, doesn’t even flinch before she turns her back to the world and takes your hand. What good is the world if you’re not there in it? She won’t just stand by and watch as everything she holds dear is destroyed in front of her—not anymore. There is you, there is her, and there is the world burning, and Lumine finds that she can hardly care. Her heart has no place for faceless people, no love left for a world that has done nothing but spurn and trample on everything she had offered. Let it burn if it means having one more second, one more minute, one more lifetime with you. A choice isn’t truly a choice if the other option was never considered, and she will never consider a world without you. There are millions, billions, countless other worlds out there she could take you to. Damn this place, damn the heavens, and damn the consequences. Her brother would understand, he always has, and when Lumine meets him again in a new world, she’ll make sure to introduce you to him.

VENTI wants, like Icarus yearning for the Sun, but Venti is Venti, and Barbatos is Barbatos. Right now, he cannot afford to be that carefree bard who spun tales of your lovely hair and lovelier still lips (cannot be Icarus who flew too close to the sun and fell). Venti wants—but Barbatos knows the best option, the best choice, the least devastating one but the most heart-wrenching one. The situation is funny, laughable, hilarious, really, the kind that makes his stomach ache and brings tears to his eyes that drip down his cheeks and onto the ground and—oh, he’s crying. He’s crying and holding you close and apologizing, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, and he doesn’t deserve your forgiveness, doesn’t deserve the hand carding through his hair and the soft press of your lips on his forehead as you murmur, don’t cry, it’s alright, you’re doing the best you can. But the best means not doing this at all, the best means not having to make a choice at all, the best means not having to say goodbye. It’s okay, you tell him, I forgive you. But he never forgives himself.

XIAO thinks there must be another way, there has to be another way. He won’t accept this, won’t allow himself to choose between losing you or losing everything, because he knows, deep down, that the choice has already been made and it is not the one he wants. But he knows better than most that doing what he wants isn’t always what is needed, that certain sacrifices must be made despite his unwillingness, despite his entire body protesting against it. Rex Lapis once told him that being a god means making difficult decisions. If this is what it means to be a god, then he will accept a life of service, a life of war and fighting and breathing like every second is his last—because pain and suffering are infinitely better than having to wake everyday without your voice by his ear, giggling about how you finally caught him asleep. A world without your light, without your presence, without you is a desolate one. There must be another way, another sacrifice to be made that doesn’t involve you. Just—anything, anyone but you. Even if it has to be him.

Heavy footsteps echo throughout the lavish halls. A soldier clad in golden armor makes her way to a large door that leads to their Grace’s quarters. With an equally heavy hand she pushes the door open and there she sees your doppelgänger sitting on their golden throne

They turn their attention towards the lowly soldier and the look in their eyes sent shivers down her spine

“What is it?” Your doppelgänger spoke coldly

The soldier bowed before them and hesitantly whispered “Uhh, the imposter… was captured, your Grace…”

“Where are they being held?”

“In a maximum security prison in Fontaine, your Grace…”

Suddenly the room was filled with a maniacal laughter, the soldier looked up to see your doppelgänger doubled over in laughter

“Finally! That rat has been caught! I bet they’re a crying mess!” Your doppelgänger cackled out while falling out from their throne before standing up at full height, towering over the kneeling soldier. “Hehe, you’re dismissed. I have to make arrangements for that filthy imposter’s execution.” They said with an evil smirk that also uncanny

Rough and calloused hands grab your arms and drag you into an underwater prison, which you learned it’s named the Fortress of Meropide

Your feet drag against the iron floor, the guards don’t let you walk, preferring to drag you wherever they are taking you. You take in the surroundings and see that the walls and floors are all made of iron and has dingy atmosphere, you just can’t help wallow in your own misery

Finally the guards stop in front of a door with a deadbolt lock on it, a third guard presses in a code and the door opens. The guards shove you into the room and slowly walk through the door. You look up at them to see they’re taking out their batons. Realizing what’s going to happen you instinctively curled up into a little ball, making sure to protect your head and stomach

The guards bring their batons down on your helpless form, their blows mercilessly and brutal. You don’t know how you were beaten for you just pay attention to the floor, mainly the bolts protruding from it. Examining each unique scratch the bolts have was all you could focus on, even counting every scratch you could see, you were so focused that you didn’t notice the loud sound of the door opening

“What is the meaning of this?!” The strong voice broke you out of your trance and made the guards stop beating you

“Your Grace! We’re just-”

“I don’t want to hear it! Get out before your punishment is worse than it is right now!”

The footsteps of the guards quickly became more quite as they rushed out of the room. You lifted your head to see a muscular man with black and white hair kneeling over you

“Don’t move, I’ll get Sigewinne to look at your wounds.”

Your eyes felt heavy and before you knew it

A small girl with two unusual horns on her head that look soft to the touch entered your room, she looked uncomfortabled in your presence. She slowly walked towards you and stopped by your bed

“I’m going to need you to take off your jacket.”

You followed her instructions and put the Fatui jacket right next to you. A look of horror filled the young girl’s face, you saw a few tears forming in her tear line. Before you could ask Sigewinne what’s wrong she blinks away her tears and starts to bandage your bruised arms

The two of you didn’t utter a word to each other and after she finished patching you up she handed you a cup filled with a strange liquid

“Drink this, it’ll help with the healing process.”

You wordlessly took the drink and examined it, the concoction gave you an uneasy feeling like this drink wasn’t meant for human consumption

“Don’t worry, it’s not poisoned.” You looked up to see the same man from before. “It’s safe to drink but it will taste weird.”

Your eyes felt don’t have much confidence but at least if is poisoned your death won’t be at the hands of your imposter. You downed the drink and instantly your mouth is filled with an unpleasant taste, it almost taste like that awful medicine your parents forced you to take as a kid whenever you were sick

Your parents…

You wonder how they and your friends are doing?

How long has time past since you’ve been gone? Have they filed a missing person case? Your taken out of your thoughts when Wriothesley speaks

“Since you’re an usual case, I have decided that you will be in solitary confinement. You will be given 3 meals a day and be allowed some time out of your room.” He heads towards the door and Sigewinne hesitantly follows him, before he could close the door you see Sigewinne wordlessly mouthing a word that you can’t quite understand

Before you think you a grasp on it the door is closed and you hear it locked leaving you alone with only your thoughts to keep you company

Outside Wriothesley walks into his office and makes a phone call

Half way across the world a phone rings and a woman picks it up

“Hello this is the Liyue Qixing, Huixin speaking.” The secretary spoke with a little hesitation due to her limited experience working a telephone. “Yes, he’s here. Wait one moment.” Huixin stood up and handed the phone to a man with long white hair. “Mister Neuvillette you have a call.”

“Hello?”

“Neuvillette, the imposter is in my custody, they’re in solitary and have way of escaping.”

“That’s good to hear. I will let them know.” Neuvillette puts the phone down on the base before turning towards the other envoys and sharing the news with them

“That’s a relief.” Jean said

“We shouldn’t celebrate just yet, we must take every precaution to ensure that they don’t escape again.” Al haitham stated

“I don’t know why their Grace insist on waiting and not killing that vile imposter.” Kujo Sara crossed her arms

“Questioning their Grace’s actions, that’s almost blasphemous.” The Natlan high priestess joked

“Chimalma is right, we are no position to question the actions the highest among the gods.” Ayato advises

“So who is going to make their Grace, aware of this recent update?” Ganyu asked looking around towards the others in the room

“Their Grace is already aware.” Nigguang announced causing the others to look at her in surprise

“H-how did they take the news, relieved I bet.” Ganyu asked

“They weren’t relieved. I would say more elated.” Ningguang explained while leaving the part out where your imposter looked maniacal. The Tianquan won’t forget the look of fear on the poor soldier’s face as they described their Grace’s features to look almost demonic like

Staring up at the same wall you’ve been staring at for the past couple of days, the only reason you know a few days have past is because of the food the guards have given you

You can recognize some breakfast food items, like toast with butter, eggs, pancakes, and a few strips of bacon. The food is okay, most times the food is tolerable while some it feels almost inedible. You miss the food you grew up with, the smile on your face it brings to your small features

Without anything to do you think back on your home

Your friends and family

How are they doing? Have they notice that you were gone? Have they even file a missing person report? All questions that rumble around in your mind

Another question that you often asks yourself is where are the twins and Childe?

Were they captured along with you? No, Aether could easily open up a portal to the abyss when things get too hot, so why hasn’t he opened a portal in your cell? Have they decided that your too much trouble to save? All of this mess started when you first arrived here, everyone was happily living their lives until everything went out of whack

Perphaps the twins and Childe thought that it was better for you to be killed off by your doppelgänger

Tears filled your vision, you curled up into a ball and cried

You cried and cried

Until you had enough of crying

“I going to get out of here.” You told yourself. “I’m not going to lay here and wait to die.” You stood up from your cot and wiped away your tears. “No matter what. I will get out of here!”

You hear the lock on the door and it opens to reveal Wriothesley. He has a lunch tray in his hands, he walks in and put the tray on the desk in your cell, a pleasant and welcomed surprise compared to the guards just throwing your food on the floor and making it spill onto the floor

Wriothesley looks around to see the baroness of your room. “I came in to see how you’re holding up.” Wriothesley sees your tear stained face and had to fight the urge to go over to you and to hug you, take you somewhere that isn’t this hellhole. He doesn’t know why but he composed himself before continuing on. “Since you aren’t allow out of your cell like the other inmates, can I offer you some form of entertainment? Within reason of course.”

You took a while to think of what you want to say before deciding on something that might help you

“I want a book.”

In the depths of Teyvat, there a sky of deep blues and purples is looked at by a certain harbinger. A sense of nostalgia fills his chest, but before he can get too wrapped up in his old memories he turned towards the twins, mainly Aether who is trying and failing at composing himself

“What do you mean, their Grace is in the Fortress of Meropide?!” Yelled the prince

“That is what our intel suggests, your highness.” Spoke an abyss mage

“If their in the fortress of Meropide, then why can’t we sneak in and take them out of there?” Paimon asked

“It isn’t that simple, all of Teyvat knows that we’re on their Grace’s side and will do everything in their power to stop us. They might even try to kill us if they see us approaching the prison.” Lumine explains

“Maybe we can get one of the lectors to disguise themselves and enter the prison?” Aether wondered aloud

“I don’t think that’s necessary.” Childe spoke

The twins and Paimon turned towards the ginger, Aether stormed other and grabbed him by the collar

“What the hell do you mean, harbinger?!” Aether hissed out. “Their Grace is in a maximum security prison and their execution is quickly approaching, time is of the essence!”

“We both know that the Fatui wants their grace safe and sound, so don’t think I’m not as concerned as you!” Childe grabbed onto the blond’s wrists

“You two, stop it! We’re all worried about their Grace!” Lumine shouted as she got in between the two men

“I know that the news has already reached Snezhnaya, and knowing a certain associate of mine, she’s already has a plan to get their Grace out.”

In the overworld of Fontaine, rounds of applause are held in a theater

Even some roses are thrown on the stage where a young magician and his assistant are standing. The two look nearly identical except for his sister who had cat ears and a tail

“Thank you, you all have been wonderful tonight!” Spoke the magician before walking off stage and returning backstage

There a blonde boy was waiting for them with a phone in his hands

“Lyney. You have a call, it’s Father.”

Going up to the young man, Lyney takes the phone and puts it against his ear

“Hello Lyney.”

“Hello Father.”

“I have a special assignment for you and Lynette.”

— let's go below zero and hide from the sun!

SYP. a wonderful way to stay warm against freezing frigid winds, with the one to whom you love the most

CHARA. aether x gn!reader

WARNING.

NOTES. lets pretend that the picture isnt blood guys, this is literally fluff it was the only picture i could find. also haters would say its spring, bro its literally december🤨

art creds.

“im so cold” you complain to your traveling companions. when you didn’t get a response you continued to pester them “im so cold im starting to smell colours and taste-“

“we get it, [ name ], you’re cold!” paimon interrupts you before stuffing her face back into aether’s scarf. aether chuckles as he pats the fairy’s head. focusing back on trekking the snow covered mountain.

around a certain part of each year, something goes wrong in dragonspine. you and aether had made it a habit to patrol the icy mountain to see if these incidents can be prevented. so far, your little group hasnt come across anything noteworthy and decided to rest in a nearby valley of pure white.

you were never adapt with the cold, constantly sticking your hands between the fabric of your clothes and your bare skin to avoid frostbite. but your boyfriend seemed unfazed, proudly wearing his usual top that gave you a pleasant view of his midriff. how was he not shivering? you’re wearing twice as much clothes as he was right now!

you sneak up to aether as he lights a nearby pot to make soup, wrapping your arms around his face and snuggling into his scarf. he still carries the same star-like scent that he did when you two first met.

“cold?” he asks before successfully lighting the fire. he turns around to face you as you bury your face into his chest and grumble. “don’t worry, dear, i’ll warm you up” he hugs you closer, placing his chin on your shoulder as he continues to prepare the soup. as he worked, he hummed a sweet tune, one that seemed to fit the snowy weather you two were surrounded by.

when you asked about the song, he placed a kiss on your forehead then explained that it was from a world that he and his sister visited. it was a land of snow and ice, a barren wasteland with little civilisation akin to snezhnaya. this patch of white simply reminds him of it. they had rich culture full of sports and dance that aether finds fascinating. he wonders that if dragonspine had as big of a population as mondstadt, would the people be doing similar things?

you listen to him talk about the world with open ears and a soft smile on your face, aether has always seemed to light up while talking about his previous adventures. maybe thats why he doesn’t seem to be as affected by the cold as you are.

“was the place as cold as dragonspine?” you ask, lifting your head slightly

“oh no, much colder. as soon as we landed, we both sneezed and huddled together for warmth”

“like what we’re doing right now?”

he chuckles as he kisses you again “kind of, with much less kissing definitely”

you two laugh together, the way he talks about his sister makes you miss her as well, despite having only met her once. being alone must of been hard for him, yes, he has you and paimon — speaking of paimon, where is she? — but he was missing his sister, his flesh and blood. you could only imagine what he went through before meeting paimon.

“paimon! soups ready!” aether calls out as paimon pops back to where she was previously, quickly snatching the bowl from his hands and chowing down while being careful as to not burn her tongue. you turn around in his lap as he hands you a bowl of radish and veggie soup. you thank him with a kiss to his jaw, and take a sip of the heavenly soup your lover made.

not even halfway into your bowl, paimon sighs as she finishes her 3rd bowl:

“that was too good, traveler! im sure you’re the best cook in teyvat!”

“she’s right, aether. thank you so much for the meal”

aether giggles at your praise, his hand rubbing his nape in embarrassment, while hiding his face in your neck.

“well, im gonna leave you two alone. have fun on the rest of your patrol!” paimon says before poofing away to where she usually goes. she suddenly pops back in with a stern look on her face and her small hands pointing at you two menacingly: “and no funny business, you hear me?!” she poofs back.

“what exactly does she mean by ‘funny business’?” you question

“i have an idea…”

he gently pushes you off and takes your hand, leading you to the middle of the feild. the snow falls around you two as he pulls you to his chest, wrapping his right arm around your waist and having your fingers entwine with his left. you two slightly sway, being led by the soft melody of the song aether was singing before. the lyrics you couldn’t understand, but the meaning transcended between barriers such as language; being with you in the winter, is as sweet as the summer.

you arm raises to his shoulder as he spins you around with a shared grin, weaving through each other as you were led by your lover felt like second nature. the gaze that was filled with adoration never left, it only softened and or scrunched up as he smiles at you, you were either looking down at your feet to avoid stepping on him, or getting lost in his golden, lovestruck eyes.

he repeats the chorus as he slightly dips you, and indulges in a passionate kiss. when you two parted, you giggled as the both of you still felt euphoric from the sweet moment you two shared.

aether sneezes, he rubs his nose with the tissue you provided him as he opened his mouth to be fed the miso soup you had prepared earlier

“i thought that you had experienced worse than dragonspine, hmm? what happened to the experienced traveler whom i love oh so dearly?” you teased

aether’s nose wasn’t the only part of his face that was dusted with a rosy hue, as he shamelessly opened his mouth to welcome another spoonful of your soup into his mouth.
