#and yes baizhu is taking care of you because i said so.

[lyneira]

♡ an accidental kiss?! that's so cliche 💋 ♡

-> reaching over to grab something behind them, your footing slips, causing you to fall forward and accidentally kiss them. How would they react?

lyneira's 1.2k milestone event

Confesses to you

Kaveh, Baizhu, Dainsleif, Cyno, Zhongli, Alhaitham

They'd seem less shocked than you'd thought they'd be. If you only knew how they felt for you, then this wouldn't be much of a surprise. They've been wanting to kiss you for the longest time after all. So, he'd decide to take this opportunity to finally let you know.

When you break away from his lips, trying to apologize, he'll quickly grab your hand before you can increase the distance between yourselves any further, silencing you and causing you to look at him directly in the eyes. The look he had in them was one you've never seen before: so sultry, so intense, and full of desire. And if you tried to look away, he'd whisper huskily, "Y/n...look at me", gently grabbing you by your chin to turn your face towards him. "I love you, you know that? ...and If you feel the same way, would you give me the pleasure of tasting your lips once more?"

Asks if you're okay

Kazuha, Tighnari, Ayato, Albedo

Their first reaction is to ask if you're okay. I think they'd be more concerned about your clumsiness during the moment, wanting to make sure that you didn't hurt yourself falling onto him like that. It would nearly seem as if the kiss didn't mean much to them, but oh honey, it meant a lot.

Afterwards, they'd keep glancing at your lips, recalling how they felt and tasted for the first time. Your lips were as sweet as he thought they'd be. He'd also wonder if you enjoyed the kiss too, because although the kiss was quick and on accident, he sure did.

They'll be as red as a tomato

Itto, Thoma, Gorou

You would surprise and fluster them enormously when your lips fall onto theirs that they'd go all red. Even when you break away from the kiss, they'd be like a deer in headlights, eyes widened and mouth still hanging open. They'd just be so overwhelmed by this sudden type of contact from you, the one whom they've been yearning for. It's not unwanted contact at all. Heck, he's wanted this so badly. Now that the moment finally came and had shocked him like this, he's just at a loss for words.

If you offer to give him a real, intentional kiss, then he’ll grow even redder, and will manage to whisper a small, "y-yes, please...I would like that", voice cracking a bit

Tells you to be more careful

Diluc, Xiao, Kaeya, Scaramouche

After you two part lips, he'd mutter a soft, "Hey, be careful", while covering his mouth with the back of his hand. You might think that he was annoyed by the way his brows were slightly furrowed, but that deep blush that was currently staining his cheeks said something different. Sure, he tells you to be careful, but if your clumsiness resulted in you kissing him, then really, he wouldn't mind if you were this clumsy around him more often.

Takes it lightly

Venti, Heizou, Childe

They'd honestly laugh it off and joke a bit about it like, "Wow, that just happened! ...You didn't do that on purpose did you? 🤨🤭". Yet, at the same time, he'd be "unintentionally" flirtatious about it as well, cupping your cheek and lightly sliding his thumb across your bottom lip, "You have soft lips, y/n. Very kissable", he'd grin. "What did you think of mine? If you don't remember, we could always try kissing again", he'd then wink at you

Bonus:

Would deepen the kiss

Alhaitham, Ayato, Dainsleif, Heizou, Childe

This category is the most similar to the first one.

These are the guys who would have the guts too hold you by the shoulders and deepen this kiss, savoring the taste of your lips. Most of them are the types who have gotten tired of holding in their feelings for so long that they take this chance to finally release that tension. So if you didn't know that he liked you before, then now you do. He'll enjoy seeing the flustered look on your face when you two part lips afterwards.

Buuuuut if you reciprocate his fervor? He'll be even more motivated to give it back tenfold and will completely devour your lips. He'd give you barely any time to breathe in between kisses that both of you will be panting by the end of your steamy makeout session.

a/n: I feel like some of the dialogue was kinda ooc here and there but I'm feeling all sappy and romantic today so imma just roll with it lol

》═══════~◈~═══════《

Pairing: Neuvilette x Zhongli x Reader x (Probably Baizhu)

Warnings: rough sex, double penetration, unprotected sex, monster sex, oral sex... I don't really know what else to add.

Comment: so this is my first post of this type, so don't kick me with your slippers. Sorry for my English in advance.🥲 MINORS PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT!

》═══════~◈~═══════《

I have a headcanon that they are like dragons with double members. That in math for two there will be 4.

> Zhongli. <

He... He!!! He knows exactly what you like and knows when you're ovulating because he can smell your hormones. He likes to take risks, so sometimes you have unprotected sex when you're ovulating, but it's okay, because pregnancy requires other... conditions.

He's the one who likes to almost fuck you till you unconscious in bed, bringing you to a semi-conscious state with hours of changing positions. But he also cares about you afterwards, because he knows that the endurance of humans and dragons is different.

Zhongli's cock is dark brown, like his arms and legs. The tip is orange or yellowish, like amber. He also can control the hardness of the cock making it hard like a...stone.

The main penis is larger, the second one is slightly smaller and resembles an arrow. The second member is darker and narrower.

> Neuvilette. <

Oh fuck, him!!! He hasn't been around people as long as Zhongli, so you'll have to tell him what you like and what you don't like. Because he doesn't understand human emotions. He will love you carefully and tenderly, even if you beg him to fuck you harder. He is not sure that he will not exaggerate his strength, so he will be as careful as possible.

The cock in the Neuvi... Well. There are two paths here. Both about the double because I said so. Lol.

· One is about a human-like penis. The other is about the tentacled one.

· We're going to follow the second one. Yes, they are tentacles and it is physically impossible for them both to be in you at the same time. One of the members is for laying eggs, the other is for fertilizing them. And you have to try to prove to him that sex is only for fertilization. The penises are blue, with suction parts that don't cling to the skin too much.

> When they're both in one room with you. <

I expect that Zhongli will show Neuvi exactly how you like to be fucked. Perhaps they will even let you play with his (Neuvi's) cocks with your mouth, opening up new sensations for the hydro dragon, because before he didn't understand why he should do this.

Double penetration... From the two of them... It would require preparation. And a lot of lubrication. Both his own and the other's (hydro slime, maybe).

After such a "marathon", you will need to go to Baizhu, who will only complain about the dragons for ignoring the fact that you are a human. However... you are so greedy that you want to fill all your holes with these incredible men. So again, double penetration from the dragons and oral sex for Baizhu...

(Funny headcanon that Changsheng will comment on all the positions and say which one will hit the most erogenous zones.)

So..... About that Naga Baizhu? ¬v¬

Snake Man becomes a snake

read all about it!

Naga!Baizhu headcannons+Short drabble

Cw: kidnapping,

Sfw

Cut for length

It all started when a white snake You saw it cowering in fear as to heartless teenagers poked at it with sticks. Pulling at the poor thing's tail even as the creature tried to escape. They had it trapped, Tormenting the poor creature, not until you chase those nasty people away, picking up the white snake gently. The poor thing was hurt and scared You kept it with you until it was ready to be released. When you released the whitesnake it's lizard in the grass and before it disappeared into the bushes It stood up looking at you with its big Ruby eyes flicking its tongue at you You could almost swore it thanked you before rushing into the underbrush.

Your house was connected to a lot of foresty land in the backyard so you are used to seeing wildlife... But you are not expecting the visitor you'll have this morning.

You're not sure how he got into your house. Maybe you accidentally left your back door unlocked.

You heard voices as you were waking up.

"are you sure this is the one?"

"Yes, they saved me a week ago, they're perfect for you."

"All right I'll start burning the blend."

As the blend burned the scent of lavender sage and a mix of other herbs hit your nose. Calming you, as you just woke up you already felt like you were falling back asleep. Barely opening your eyes You could sort of make out the two.

You almost thought you were dreaming when you saw the white snake the same white snake and hearing that same voice from her once again. "They're waking up."

"Don't worry The blend should put them back to sleep."The man next to her said His eyes liquid gold pupils like a snake as he looks down at you His green hair matching with the green scales on his hands I see brushes your hair back caressing your cheek. "Go back to sleep my dear." His voice warm and smooth like honey.

___________

Baizhu had been looking for a mate for a while now, but since Fall Baizhu was too busy taking care of other wild hybrids to worry about finding a mate for spring. So Changsheng to get upon herself, She was careless wanting to see her friend happy She separated from Baizhu's side slithering out of his cave. She didn't mean to be gone for so long.

However, her search was highly fruitful. She found a nice human, a human that took care of her, patched her up, and saved her. The caring hands in sweet smile reminded her of Baizhu. After getting yelled at by an angry, worried, sick Baizhu, his anger softened when Changsheng spoke about what you had done to her. Changsheng is a somewhat prickly character, so listening to her talk so extensively about you made him interested to meet you.

Baizhu knew humans had different mating rituals and knew full well that humans are not a... Intense, as the dominating aggressive Nagas. As much as his species fantasizes about how weaker humans are to them and how they are the perfect mate because of it but very little have the temperament to deal with the relatively complex emotions that humans have.

Baizhu was different. He was not as aggressive or dominating as members of his species. But he was not certainly considered weak either.

The way he took you back to his cave was regrettably something he could have done better. But for some reason, you took it rather well. You are more interested in his snake companion and Baizhu's snake body (which he was happy to show you.) He thought you would fear him. He thought you would run from him. To his surprise, if you'd let you go, you would even visit on your own accord. And you did! You are a strange one. But he liked that about you. He thought he understood humans more than anyone

I references species a lot, but the truth is that Baizhu is the last of his kind. Even with his dear white snake friend being the last, Naga hybrid was a lonely title, so he was so desperate to have you.

Baizhu is obsessed with your human anatomy; He's never seen humans this close. He plays with your fingers, rambling on about how your body looks similar up until the waist—squeezing your legs, wiggling your toes, feeling your smooth, squishy scalist skin. He wants to see if your body will react just like any other female Naga. He wonders what your body would do if he kissed you hot and heavy.

He doesn't mind if you touch him too, He knows that you're curious about him just as much as he is about you. He warns you that his skin is rather sensitive and he does shudder with Even the lightest of your touches. Eucharest his cheek honey hold your hand while nuzzling into your palm his lips gently touch your hand his golden gaze piercing through you.

Naga's are always considered more aggressive monsters, possessive of their mates, and highly protective. Baizhu is on the calmer side, more docile; however, during spring, when his more... Animalistic urges come to the surface, He gets more demanding of your attention—practically hanging off you, desperate to mark you with his scent. Baizhu tries to hold back a lot of his urges, not wanting to hurt you or scare you. Even if you accept his advances, he is still hesitant and tries to be as gentle as he can before fully succumbing to lust. When the cloud over his mind finally lifts seeing your bruised and bitten body, he takes care of you like any good mate and doctor would.

You were surprised how quickly you became Baizhu and Changsheng's heat pack. Baizhu would try to wrap his coils around you in any way when he's doing anything, especially when it's chilly. He'll literally cling on to you have as much of his skin touching yours as he can. This is not inherently sexual to him. He just likes the feeling of your warm body directly touching him. He tries not to admit it, but he gets pouty when Changsheng is being warmed by you but not him.

Sick Days

Pairings: Various Genshin Men x Isekai'd!Reader

Summary: Eighteen out of twenty-five men are sick, and you (and the other seven men who aren't sick) try to take care of the sick men who have fallen ill. Just when you thought they were already needier, they're even needier when they're sick.

Note: Just a mini-fic of the majority of the Genshin men being sick. I typed this at 2-3 AM, and I don't know how I feel about this. This was an answer to someone's ask, so that's why it's a minier mini-fic. Since I typed this out in the middle of the night, don't expect it to be half decent since I'm tired and want to go to bed before I have to get up early morning 🥲 I don't think I'll be tagging people in this mini-fic 🤔I don't post anywhere else but on Tumblr (Genshinluvr) and on AO3 (Aaliah_exo).

Warnings: Some of the Genshin men are sick

Word Count: 2.4k

Read Part 2 of Sick Days [HERE].

Almost everyone at the estate is sick except for Zhongli, Venti, Xiao, Scaramouche, Albedo, Baizhu, and Dainsleif. Oh, and yourself, of course. Which is a shocker because you’re usually the one that gets sick often out of everyone in the abode, but now it’s the other way around. Baizhu and Albedo are the ones that do the check-ups and prescribe medication for the men who are sick, while you and the others are the ones that try to nurse them back to health.

Childe rings his bell from his bedroom upstairs. “Snookums!” Childe hollers from the top of his lungs before having a coughing fit.

You peek your head into Childe’s room. “Yes, what do you need? And don’t shout! You’re going to make it worse for yourself, and you’re going to wake the others up,” you say, walking into his room.

Baizhu pinches the bridge of his nose and shakes his head. “I was able to get him to take his medication, but he refuses to go to sleep because he wants to cuddle with you,” says Baizhu, turning to look at you with a look of defeat.

You look at Childe, propping your hands on your hips. “Is that true, Childe?” You ask.

Childe nods glumly and holds his arms out, making grabby motions with his hands. You chuckle and sigh. You nearly forgot that Childe is even clingier when he’s sick, which is unfortunate because it makes it harder for you to care for the other sick men. 

Venti knocks on the door, pops his head into the room, and sighs, giving you a sympathetic smile. “[Y/N], the others are calling for you.”

“Which others are we talking about? The ones that aren’t sick, or the ones that are sick?” You ask, raising your eyebrows at the anemo archon. 

Venti purses his lips and clears his throat. “What would you do if I said both?” asks Venti, tapping his fingers on the doorframe while leaning against it.

Childe’s eyes widen, and he shakes his head, kneeling on his bed as if he’s prepared to get off it to convince you to stay. “No! Don’t leave me! You know I can’t go to sleep without you cuddling me!” Childe whines, giving you puppy dog eyes before coughing and sneezing into his elbows.

Baizhu gives Childe a fake smile before handing the eleventh Harbinger a face mask while keeping a safe distance between the two of them. “Please wear this face mask while you’re sick. You don’t want to get other people sick now, do you?” Baizhu says.

Childe lets out a huff, grabs the face mask from Baizhu’s hands, and puts it over his mouth and nose. You walk over to Childe and gently push him to make him lie on his back. Even though Childe has a mask over his nose and mouth, you know he’s pouting. You tuck Childe into bed and kiss his forehead.

“Get some rest, alright? I have to check up on the others,” you say, stroking Childe’s soft hair.

Childe huffs and nods before turning over to his side and closing his eyes. You, Baizhu, and Venti walk out of Childe’s room.

The minute you and the two men step out of Childe’s bedroom, you realize how much chaos the estate actually has. You hear occasional coughing, sniffling, and people calling your name for your attention from each person's room.

You walk to the room beside Childe’s room and knock on the door before peeking in. Diluc stares at you with bleary eyes with tissues stuck up his nose. You give the redhead a sympathetic smile before entering his room.

Diluc sniffles. “Don’t come any closer. I don’t want you to get sick,” Diluc says.

You can’t help but giggle at Diluc’s nasally voice and continue to walk to his bed. Diluc frowns at you before taking the tissues out from his nose and tossing them into the trash bin beside his bed. Diluc reaches for another tissue and stares at you while you sit across from him on his bed.

You give his leg a squeeze. “How are you feeling right now? You took your medication, right?” You ask, looking at Diluc worriedly.

Diluc nods while wiping his nose. “I did take my medication. I’m waiting for it to kick in. I hate being sick. It prevents me from getting my job done at the winery.” Diluc frowns, sniffling again.

“I understand your frustration, Diluc. But please take this time to rest. You won’t recover from your illness if you don’t get plenty of rest,” you say.

Diluc frowns and lets his hands fall onto his lap. You get up from Diluc’s bed and walk closer to him. Diluc looks at you with wide eyes while you lean down to kiss the top of his head. Diluc mumbles something under his breath before lying on his bed and closing his eyes. You press the back of your hand on Diluc’s forehead, nearly sighing in relief. Diluc’s temperature is going down, thankfully. 

You leave Diluc’s bedroom to let him rest, closing the door behind you. Venti and Baizhu went somewhere you’re not sure— probably to check up on the other men in the estate. Zhongli steps out from one of the men’s rooms, carrying a tray of food in his hands. Zhongli sighs and gives you a look, shaking his head.

“It’s strange how they got ill simultaneously,” Zhongli comments, gesturing for you to follow him as he starts making his way toward the staircase.

“Oh, uh, I’m about to check up on the others! I’ll join you downstairs after I finish checking up on all of them. Is that okay?” You ask, getting ready to enter the room Zhongli had left not long ago.

Zhongli smiles. “You’re not obligated to join me, [Y/N]. I heard everyone has been asking for you,” he chuckles, shaking his head.

You give Zhongli a weak smile, nodding. “Yeah, they are, and I’m going to check on each of them to make sure they’re okay. Childe wanted to cuddle with me, but I can’t join him this time since, you know, he’s sick, and he could get me sick as well,” you reply. 

Zhongli nods before bidding you goodbye and walking down the stairs. You walk into the room to see Dainsleif pinning Itto down while Xiao tries to shove a pill down Itto’s mouth. You stand at the door, unsure of what to do other than watch.

You clear your throat. “What in the world are you guys doing?” You ask, grabbing the three men’s attention.

“[Y/N]! Help me! They won’t let me go!” Itto screams, thrashing under Dainsleif’s grasp. “Is this how you treat a sick person!?” Itto exclaims, glaring at Dainsleif and Xiao.

Dainsleif rolls his eyes and tightens his grip on Itto’s wrists. “You need to take your medication. I don’t care if you’re an Oni, Itto. You need to take your medication because it’s prescribed to you by Doctor Baizhu,” Dainsleif replies.

Xiao lightly smacks Itto’s head. “This wouldn’t have happened if you complied and took your medication without a fight,” Xiao says, glaring at Itto.

You walk over to the three men and pull Xiao and Dainsleif away from Itto. Itto gives you a grateful look before sitting up and fixing his hair and clothes with a huff. You hold your hand out to Xiao. Xiao gives you a look before placing the pill in your hand.

“Good luck trying to get him to take his medication,” Xiao mutters.

You sit on the edge of the bed and hand Itto the pills. Itto stares at the large pills with horror, then back at you. Judging by the look on his face, Itto was asking if you’re insane for wanting him to swallow a pill that’s almost the size of his entire pinky.

You purse your lips. “If you take them, you’ll feel better after! Plus, it’s not fun being sick, is it?” You ask.

Itto frowns and shakes his head.

“If you don’t want to take medicine that’s this big, I recommend taking these right now, and you should be feeling a little bit better after a few hours.” You suggest.

Dainsleif hands Itto a cup of water. “Unless you want us to pin you down and force you to take your medicine, I recommend you take your medication like an adult.”

Itto glares at Dainsleif and tosses the pills into his mouth before downing the water. You give Itto a pat on the back before kissing the side of his head. Itto smiles and places the cup on the nightstand before he pulls you onto his bed.

“Itto, I can’t stay long! I have to check up on the others, too, you know?” You mutter, trying to squirm out from his grasp.

Itto ignores your comment and continues to snuggle into you with a wide smile. You look at Xiao and Dainsleif. The two men pinch the bridge of their noses, mentally cursing at the Oni. 

You sigh in defeat and pat Itto’s arms. “Alright, I guess I’ll be staying here for a little bit, alright?” You ask, glancing up at Itto.

Itto smiles and nods wordlessly. You look at Xiao and Dainsleif, gesturing for them to give you and Itto some privacy. You continue to let Itto hug you to his chest, nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck. You close your eyes and slowly drift off to sleep without even realizing it. Time passes by, and you wake up to the sound of whispering around you.

“Dammit, Itto! You decide to hoard [Y/N] for yourself and not let them check up on the rest of us?” You hear Aether whisper.

Heizou sighs. “Poor thing must be exhausted. Everyone wants their attention, and for them to check up on us must’ve worn them out,” says Heizou.

You crack your eyes open to see the men sitting around you. You blink at them and look at Itto, who’s staring down at you while combing his fingers through your hair. You rub your eyes and sit, blinking at everyone.

Kazuha chuckles, coughing into his elbows. “It looks like [Y/N] slept really well,” Kazuha smiles at you.

“Sorry for not being able to check up on all of you. As you can see, I fell asleep. Unintentionally, of course,” you say sheepishly. 

Ayato sighs and walks over to the bed, sitting beside you. “There’s no need to apologize. You tried your best to care for those who are sick and didn’t get to rest because people were pulling you left and right.”

“We decided to make it easier for you by coming here after we heard Dainsleif and Xiao say something about Itto hoarding you for himself,” Thoma says, putting on his face mask and sitting at the edge of the bed across from you and Itto.

You blink at the men before you and at Itto. Itto seems content with the situation. Itto presses his back against the wooden headboard of his bed and reaches for the cup of water. You plop over on your side and close your eyes. Dear Archons, dealing with sick men with the help of seven men was not easy. Zhongli, Xiao, Venti, Dainsleif, Albedo, Scaramouche, and Baizhu did everything to help the men that are sick, and you’re eternally grateful for their assistance. Despite their trying to help, it didn’t stop the others from wanting you and only you. You crack your eyes open and pat the bed.

“You guys might as well join us in bed then. You all wanted to be near me or be in the same room as me,” You say.

Al Haitham stares at you. “We’ll get you sick, you know that, right?” asks Al Haitham.

“And? I’ve gotten sick many times since my arrival at Teyvat. It’s nothing new!” You reply, brushing Al Haitham’s worry to the side.

Kaveh stares at you and tosses a pillow at you. “That’s the point! You’ve fallen ill so many times in Teyvat already. We don’t want you to get sick again because of us,” Kaveh replies, letting out a huff of breath before having a short coughing fit.

“Remember how a lot of you would tell me to rest up?” You ask, closing your eyes.

“Yes, we tell you that because you do need to rest. You push yourself to the point where you get sick,” Tighnari replies, clearing his throat. 

You sputter and rub your face. “Yeah, well, you all need to rest! And since you’re all in here already, you might as well make yourselves home for now until we’re all rest up!” You say, patting the bed.

“But you’ll get sick,” Cyno states, frowning at you.

“Hand me a face mask, then! You know that one part of a wedding vow? Something about in sickness and in health?” You ask, reaching out toward Baizhu while he hands you a mask to wear.

Kaeya snorts, sitting on Itto’s bed and lying across from you. “You really are stubborn.”

“Wait, are we all going to just lay on Itto’s bed? I don’t think we’ll fit,” Gorou says, counting the number of people in Itto’s room.

You wave Gorou’s worries away. “We’ll probably Tetris it, don’t worry! If that doesn’t work, then we’ll figure it out somehow,” you say, scooting over to make room for the others. 

Scaramouche asks, “What if I don’t want to be near any of these losers and only with you?” Scaramouche smacks Childe upside of his head as he walks by the eleventh Harbinger.

You stare at Scaramouche. “Then we can do that later! Just you and me!” You reply.

“And chaos begins,” Albedo chuckles, shaking his head as everyone starts pushing and shoving each other, trying to get to you. 

Surprisingly, no one has fallen over yet. You made sure everyone wore a mask because you didn’t want them to get each other even more sick than they already were. You’re in the middle of the bed while people are scrambling to lay beside you or at least close enough to you. At this point, it’s a cuddle pile, and you’re all for it because imagine being sandwiched between many men.

In the end, you had to give up your spot because they didn’t want to crush you. So, they have you lay on top of everyone because they want you to feel comfortable and not claustrophobic. That and because they want to be able to pass you around so the other person can get their turn cuddling you. Just when you thought you were needy when you’re sick, you’re wrong because these men are needier than you are and constantly crave your attention. Not that you’re complaining, of course. They’re just clingier when they’re sick, and it’s something you’re going to have to get used to if you ever get married to them.

Note: Not tagging people for this mini-fic since this was supposed to be a response to someone's ask. Plus, it's also nearing 4 AM, and tagging people can take a while. This is just a mini-fic/response to an ask. It's short, it's not the best. But this is what I imagined would go down if the reader were to take care of the sick Genshin men. Some of them aren't sick because they're immortal, so yeah! To my new and/or returning readers, please keep in mind that I ONLY post on my Tumblr (Genshinluvr) and my AO3 (Aaliah_exo)! Nowhere else except Tumblr and AO3!

Read more of my works on my Masterlist | Maybe support me by tipping me on Ko-Fi or by reblogging my fanfics! ^^ I will also be posting exclusive fanfics on Ko-Fi as well very soon! I might post all of my stories on there too, but who knows. You can also tip me on Tumblr if you'd like as a way to show support! ^^

[linkemon]

Would you still love me/like me if...? 

Friendly reminder that English is not my first language. You can check my Masterlists both in English and Polish here. Consider supporting me on Ko-fi. You can also check out my commissions if you're interested.

Other headcanons from this series can be found here.

Baizhu ✧ Animal

✧ Would you still love me if I turned into an animal? This was definitely not the question he expected to hear on a calm and beautiful evening. This amused him immensely. You, however, didn't seem happy with his laugh, so he would ask you what kind of animal exactly, to which you had no answer.

✧ He's not a vet but he's a doctor. First of all, he would promise you that he would try to cure you with all means possible. He would travel across the world to find some kind of treatment.

✧ You pushed him further. What if such a drug did not exist? Well... He has experience with Changsheng. The snake, of course, loudly protested that it was not the same but no matter how you look at it, Baizhu also had to feed him something and take care of him (Changsheng said that it was completely the opposite way and that he was his guardian...).

✧ You weren't entirely satisfied with the answer, so Baizhu took you out the next day to console you.

Wriothesley ✧ Worm

✧ Would you still love me if I was a worm? Wriothesley is prepared for anything. I mean literally everything! Even for his other half's philosophical questions. It's not like he heard about this trend from someone in the Fortress and thought that you'd definitely want to take part in it soon, so he thought of everything in advance... He immediately replied that yes, he would still love you.

✧ When you asked what it would look like, he said he would prepare a miniature room for you in his office. There are a lot of different pieces of machinery lying around the Fortress, I'm sure he could make a nice set of metal furniture out of it.

✧ He could carry you around with him in a special pocket in his uniform. He wouldn't let anyone crush you. He would even make special warning signs in places you would frequently be. Everyone would adjust to them because, as we know, Fortress of Meropide has a lot of people obeying him and their sentences would certainly be extended to stay there for their whole lifes if they didn't.

✧ When you asked if he would like to change you, he said that no, just to see your reaction. He wanted to tease you but don't be angry with him, he loves you very much.

Nahida ✧ Fungus

✧ Would you still like me if I were Fungus? This question did not raise a trace of surprise from the archon. To her, it sounds like any other. After all, it is not for nothing that she patronizes wisdom. She has to consider many concepts. Nahida would think for a moment with a finger pressed to her cheek. And then she would say yes, of course. She would also list every possibility.

✧ First, she would try to communicate with you. She can connect with living things, so why not with you? If you didn't like your condition, she would want to change it. By any means available. You can be sure that the students at the Akademiya would be wondering about your condition. Someone would eventually come up with some cure... or not.

✧ If your new form suited you, she would leave you in the forests of Sumeru in a safe place. She strongly believes that Fungus would be a different form that should be treated accordingly and would like to befriend you with other shrooms so you can settle in.

Nilou ✧ Slime

✧ Would I still be your best friend if I was a slime? Of course you would, she said, grabbing your hands to emphasize the importance of her words. She didn't even have to wonder.

✧ She just hopes you wouldn't be a pyro slime, because she'd have to be very careful with her hydro vision. She wouldn't want to hurt you. Apart from this fact, Teyvat's laws are thrown out the window! She didn't think about anything that made sense or was logical.

✧ In her mind, it looks like she's taking care of the absolute cutie patootie, which is you as a slime. Her friend would still go shopping with her, spend all day together and perform on stage. Now you could create a one-of-a-kind performance or, preferably, a whole spectacle. Did she leave out the fact that you probably wouldn't be able to understand her? Of course but it didn't occur to her because she was too excited.

✧ You have to forgive her, over the next week she will come back to this question at various times and tell you how cute it would be if, in the form of slime you would... Ate cake with her, danced with her, wore a tiny dress? Finish it yourself, there are many options.

It's something that I want to do a full write-up on after I finish more more quests (most especially Baizhu's) but I just want to put it out there that I am constantly amazed, as a chronic-illness haver myself, how many characters in Genshin Impact have chronic illnesses, how visible they are, and how well represented they are.

Like, it's extremely difficult to find even one character in a piece of fiction that has a chronic illness (let alone one where it isn't played for laughs, OR otherwise it completely destroys their life and they're fucking miserable, OR it's magically cured).

But Genshin? Dude you trip over a character with a chronic illness every five seconds, it feels like, and I fucking love that. Off the top of my head there's:

Anna (Mondstat), who visibly suffers from her illness and we know her brother struggles to pay for her medicine. But the traveler, through a series of quests, helps them get ahold of an affordable medication to manage (MANAGE, not cure) the illness and to return her quality of life to her.

Little Hongdou (Liyue) - who has an unspecified chronic illness. And she just does. But she's out and about and seems very happy.

Collei (Sumeru, playable) - and sure her illness is fixed by the end of the Sumeru quest, but I don't even care because of how well it's represented. She has hopes, ambitions, dreams. She participates in her work as a forest ranger even though we get visible confirmation that her illness is progressing. The people around her care and are compassionate, and do their best to make sure she takes care of herself, but she is also allowed to just...go out? and do things?? This shouldn't be such a tall order but chronic illness-havers with friends and family members who understand that, hey there are good days and there are bad days -- that's rare in fiction (and IRL for that matter).

Dunyarzad (Sumeru) - her chronic illness is a major plot-driver in an entire fucking archon quest. She has a huge amount of influence on the people around her, and her chronic illness is actually part of the whole reason we even are able to help Nahida in the first place. Her chronic illness is what makes her instrumental to the plot, but it also isn't the only thing about her, and I love that.

Dulphy (Fontaine) - an actress from Furina's story quest. What really struck me about Dulphy is how the people around her interact with her. I was half in tears by the end of the quest -- not even for Furina reasons (yes, that too), but because I was so touched by the fact that a game gave us a character who was unable to follow through with something she said she was going to do (finish her closing performance as the lead actress in a musical), and that was okay. Like, yeah, the people around her were upset -- but they were upset because she hadn't taken great care of herself and had pushed herself past her spoon limit! Nobody (including the narrative itself) treated it as a great failure when she had to call it quits on her performance. Rather, that was treated as a good thing, and they went so far as to explicitly state that her performance up to that point mattered, and that it was a meaningful contribution, even though she couldn't finish. And that just fucking got me, man. Also - again, this is a character where it is explicitly stated "this is a chronic illness. It has good days and bad days and it can only be managed, not cured. And if she pushes herself too hard then she'll need several days to recover." And that's just...part of who she is.

And, of course, Baizhu. (Liyue, playable) My beloved, my blorbo. His chronic illness(es) is an extremely visible part of his character - referenced in his voicelines, his idles, his interactions in quests, the imaginarium theater, and even your teapot house, and his emojis. Hell, he even coughs if you sprint too much with him. Nevertheless, he's arguably one of the strongest healer units in the game from a meta perspective, and from a story perspective he is immensely successful, insanely compassionate, and while he isn't necessarily super kind to himself about it, the people around him are. His chronic illness is part of him, but he is still allowed to inhabit a story where he's the most renowned and beloved doctor in his entire country & just...is an awesome, active person in general, and that means so much to me.

Just. God. I legitimately can't think of another piece of fiction where I have seen myself represented over and over and over again everywhere I look, let alone so kindly. It's genuinely so moving to have so many characters be so visibly chronically ill, and for that to just be part of their character. A neutral thing about them. And to have it be okay when they can't finish things -- even though they said they would, okay when they need to rest, okay when they have to take a break or extra care with themselves. And not just one but so many. I'm sure I'm forgetting some to boot.

(Honorable mention: Qiqi. Like sure she's a zombie but hear me out: visible chronic joint and memory issues, which is something I also deal with and it's just so refreshing to see a character who deals with them, too -- and who has so many people around her who are so kind about it).

Hi!! May I request for fluff with Baizhu and a reader who works at the funeral parlor (maybe a relative to Hu Tao?)

Either way, I hope you have a nice day!

Sorry this took so long to write! i was wracked for inspiration.

Tags: gn!reader x Baizhu, fluff, reader needs more than a painkiller for a headache, and that's about it, Changsheng is a little bit of a smartass.

Word count: 1066

Your head was absolutely throbbing, every step you took making it effectively worse. Going into work was absolutely out of the question, the funeral parlor would simply have to wait and so would Hu Tao. You needed medical attention because this wasn't good anymore, simple painkillers weren't taking care of it.

You could hear Hu Tao in your head as you ascended the steps to BuBu Pharmacy, warning you, yelling at you to turn around and that she could help you even though you knew she couldn't. She just really didn't want you to look for help from the pharmacist. Personally, you had never met Baizhu but you couldn't help but think your cousin was exagerating. You needed help and well, you were willing to risk it.

"So many stairs." You mumbled, the top coming into sight as you felt yourself getting lightheaded. Stumbling a little, you placed your hands on the step in front of you, trying everything in your power not to pass out, not when you were this close to the top. "Are you alright?" A smooth, calm voice asked as you were trying to stay steady. "Not particularly." You said in return, finding a way to maneuver your body so that you were sitting down on the step instead.

Looking up at the owner of the voice, you found yourself swallowing thickly. The light lilac snake around his neck being a beautiful contrast to his green hair. "Baizhu?" You asked, squinting your eyes at the throbbing headache. "You know me, I don't believe we've met however." He crouched in front of you, golden eyes scanning your face. It was undoubtedly clear that you weren't feeling well, your skin completely devoid of color. "But that doesn't matter right now, let's get you help." He added on before you could speak again, picking you up princess style before you could even object not that you particularly could, the sunlight being way too bright. Opening your eyes even hurt.

The sunlight went away when you were brought inside, not into the front of the pharmacy, but the back. A little room with a bed, desk and privacy screen.

"There we go, I assume you were coming to see me." He said, smiling at you softly as he laid you down on the bed. The lighting made it easier for you to look at him, finding your cheeks heating up at the sight of him hovering over you. "Yes, I've had this splitting headache for days and it won't go away." You said and he stood up again, clearing his throat as he wandered to his desk. "Okay, I'll run some tests to see what I can do for you." He grabbed a little light to check your pupils.

"So, you know me but I don't know you. How is that?" He asked, helping you sit up and looking over your face. It seemed some color had returned to your face by simply being inside and not on the stairs. You were good looking, even in your sickly state Baizhu could see that. If he had seen you around before, he most definitely would have remembered you.

"I work at the funeral parlor." You winced when the light reached your eyes, Baizhu reaching out to hold your hand gently for comfort. "Hu Tao's my cousin." You admitted and the pharmacist couldn't help but laugh. "That's you why didn't come to me when this started." He said and you nodded, continuing with his tests. "Yes Hu Tao has become quite mixologist for my head ache, she doesn't know I'm here." You told him and he nodded his head.

"Well I think she'd throw an absolute fit if she knew you visited me for help." He was smiling at the thought and you couldn't help but find it endearing how he enjoyed messing with your cousin. "I think you're right." You laughed only to immediately stop and clutch your head, shooting pain making you whimper. Baizhu frowned, not enjoying that you were clearly in pain and excused himself for a moment.

"You like them." Changsheng remarked as the pharmacist mixed together herbs and prepared a cool compress. "Be quiet." He shot back, getting flushed at the snake's deduction. "Their cousin will give you Hell." The snake pressed on further and Baizhu sighed, knowing she was right. "What Hu Tao doesn't know won't hurt her, besides what am I supposed to do? Not treat her cousin? They can barely keep their eyes open." He said, taking the medication he had concocted and shushing the snake further as he re-entered the back room.

"You're not like Hu Tao describes." You remarked as the cool compress was pressed to your forehead, laying back down in the bed. "In a good way I hope." He grinned and nodded, holding the compress to your forehead. "I have no qualms with Hu Tao, she seems to absolutely despise me. Considering you're family, I thought you might do the same." He added on and tilted your head up for you to drink the bitter medicine he had made you. "We might be family but our ideologies don't always align." You said once you finished grimacing from the taste.

The medicine nearly instantly took effect, however also making you drowsy, finding it more and more difficult to keep your eyes open as you spoke with Baizhu.

"One of the reason's for your headache was fatigue, so I gave you something to help you rest as well." He explained, noticing your fifth yawn in the last 2 minutes. "Oh." You said in realisation, giving him a lazy smile as you decided to stop fighting the drowsiness. "I want you to rest here, where it's peaceful and quiet and you can't be disturbed. We want you back on your feet quickly." He patted your hand as he spoke and you felt your cheeks heating up again. "Are you always this quick with remedies?" You asked him, curling up in the blankets he had provided for you.

"Yes, but I particularly want you back on your feet quickly." He admitted, ignoring the look Changsheng was giving him. "Why's that?" You laughed, feeling butterflies in your stomach for the way he was looking at you.

"Well, the faster you're on your feet again, the faster I can treat you to a meal and maybe we can call it a date."

[fawnforgold]

There's no point asking this anonymously because you'll know it's me from this: Baizhu, please 🙏 And rimming him maybe if you're okay with that 👀🫶

i haven't written rimming before, so i hope this is alright! I also haven't written for baizhu either so this was a nice challenge.

Warnings: 18+ MINORS DNI, Rimming/Rimjob, Reader is gender neutral, Baizhu goes by He/Him pronouns, Reader goes by no pronouns, Dom!Reader, Sub!Baizhu.

"Is this okay?" You asked hesitantly.

Baizhu shivered as your tongue gently licked at his empty hole.

You chuckle. "I'll take that as a yes."

Holding onto his hips you continued lapping at his anus, making sure to take your time pampering him. You couldn't deny the confidence boost you experienced from turning Baizhu into a puddle from just your mouth. With a hand on each of his ass cheeks you could feel a warmth blossom inside your chest.

As you started to quicken your ministrations you had begun to hear your lover's moans fill the room. You rubbed and grabbed at his ass, spreading it farther apart as your tongue delved into his hole. That earned a sudden moan to escape Baizhu's mouth.

"Yeah, just like that." He praised.

Baizhu tried for as long as he could to ignore the pre-cum dripping from the head of his hard cock, but it was impossible with how well you were taking care of him. Thankfully, you were quick to catch on upon seeing him buck his hips into nothing. You wrapped a hand around to carefully hold his cock in your hand.

"Oh, you're so hard, baby." You cooed. "Do you want me to touch you there as well?"

He didn't say anything but he did nod and let out a few whimpers in response.

You hummed in satisfaction. "Well, since you've been so good.."

While you kept on licking and sucking on his hole you had simultaneously begun to stroke his cock. Baizhu let out a loud moan as he clawed at the sheets. The euphoria that rushed through his body was electrifying. He'd almost forgotten how heavenly sex with you felt, but he was never one to refuse the reminder.

As you jerked him off you took your thumb and rubbed in the fluids against his tip. "You're leaking so much, Baizhu. Does that feel good?"

He nodded quickly and moaned. "Y-yes!"

You smiled. "That's good, because I'm not done with you just yet."

Going back to sucking at his hole you moaned as you did, adding a little bit of well needed friction to ensure he'd cum in no time. Baizhu went between grinding his ass against your mouth and thrusting himself into your hand. He couldn't make up his mind. For, no matter which way he turned to he was met with nothing but pure pleasure.

"S-So close.." He moaned.

You put your all into it after he said that, making damn sure he'd have the best orgasm he'd ever had. You spit on his aching hole as you continued stroking him off, faster and faster. Moaning against him as you sucked him from behind, you could feel the moment everything snapped for him.

"Fuck!" He cried out as he came into your hand.

He pushed his face into the pillows and moaned as his body writhed and trembled in pleasure. The sight of him caused something to bubble inside you as well. You made sure to continue what you were doing until Baizhu fell limp against the bed. Gradually you stopped what you were doing, until you were able to finally lay down beside him and scoop him up in your arms.

"Are you alright?" You ask, a hint of worry in your voice.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around you weakly, his hands and arms shook terribly. "Absolutely amazing."

You smiled and allowed a hand to reach up behind his head to stroke his hair. "You did so good, honey." You whispered, giving him a soft kiss on his forehead.

He hummed and gave you a small squeeze before he finally allowed himself to relax in your arms.

assigning songs from my latest romance playlist to mine and my friends' selfships :}

@lexisism @milk-violet @floraldresvi

it got a lot longer than I thought. so. have fun! <3

best friend - laufey

kavexis or verali. definitely an alexis selfship. the parts that are more about how you're best friends reminds me of kavexis, but the parts that are lovingly insulting feels more reminiscent of verali

magnolia - laufey

this song is about yoimiya. or it's mizuha and it's kazuha thinking about mirei. a lot of this song feels more like poetry than lyrics?? which leads me to say that kazuha would hear it whenever he sees mirei.

death, thrice drawn - the scary jokes

baivi? verali? I can't really place this one. but. when I think selfships with lots of pining, baivi and verali come to mind!!

jeanine - the scary jokes

kavexis angst where both alexis and kaveh are feeling overwhelmed and end up kinda neglecting each other. with the line "love is just a name for you to call me by", this song talks about how though they are still acting in love, the feelings are starting to fade. it also goes into someone being emotionally absent, and not being vulnerable enough for the other. both people are stuck in a space between "I can't find time to talk to them" and "they can't find time to talk to them", and lots of conflicting "it's my fault/I shouldn't be to blame here" thoughts. one of the last lines is "just like the smote cedars in the yard, I have fallen so hard for you" which shows that yes, they are in love. yes, they adore their s/o. but. it's not a love that is gentle anymore, it's hard to live with and difficult to manage. very "I love you, but at what cost?"

starstruck - the scary jokes

this song has a permanent spot in my shroomsym playlist for a myriad of reasons!!!! firstly. sylvia is being depicted as a figure who shows enough to be admired, but never enough to be known. that's sym for a while!! and the entire song is just someone gushing and wondering about her.

no leverage / no pleasure - the scary jokes

scarayui because of the "I just can't have a normal heart" line and all that's added onto that. with all the scaramouche lore I know very little about, I believe this fits his character? loving, despite it being against his nature? but since yui isn't on tumblr anymore. this is actually really hard wait. this could lead off of the kavexis angst from "jeanine"?? i'll go with that dfjdjdfk

crushed out on soda beach - the scary jokes

shroomiya angst because. the first lines "I tried just burning the whole thing down today / but decisiveness is such a foreign tenant to my psyche" represents someone trying to break up with their partner, but being too indecisive to do so. later on in the song, it goes "you called my bluff / I love you too much / would you please stay with me? / cause after all is said and done / I want you here, stay with me!" this song is representative of wanting the end of the bad parts of a relationship, but not the good parts. it's about wanting the relationship you used to have, wanting to go back to when everything was normal and better than normal because it was beautiful. "I could hardly stand under the weight of my little crush on you" shows how much yearning can take a toll on someone.

bets against the void - the scary jokes

baivi angst this time. "these days your light beam penetrate / the sorrowed skin that i've been living in". baizhu's condition is getting worse, but vi and everyone else's love and care for him motivates him to try to be everything he could be. "but still I wait for piercing pain / i'll feel when your feelings fade / I feel so good today" he knows that all of the good he feels now is temporary. when vi's gone, or busy, or tired, or sick herself, he feels worse. but how is he supposed to push that onto her? when they both feel so good today, isn't that all that can really matter? "the sun is just a copper coin / I flip in bets against the void / imitating choice / 'til I feel good again / i'll keep them in a tin can / then i'll have copper coins to spend" baizhu's trying to find optimism in vi, in qiqi, in everyone who comes to bubu pharmacy, and he is, he really is, but it's getting difficult to find much more meaning in that optimism. he has all of the little memories from people he's known and loved and cared for, but he doesn't have much to do with them. "will you remember me / when our spirits scatter off?" will you remember him, when he can't remember you? when he isn't there? when he can't be everything you deserve? when he loses all he was? "I know I'm an artist / 'cause I just can't stand the thought / that a love as beautiful as ours / could be forgotten" he knows you'll never forget. and that's just why he wants you too. he wants you to be able to move on a live a life as amazing as it always was. but he also knows that you won't be able to do that. so he will make sure you remember your love as beautiful, and make sure to pass it on to everyone you continue to meet.

anata no koibito ni naritai - choo kyuu mei

MIZUHA!!!!! "koi ni ochite iru" THAT DAY I FELL IN LOVE! "kocchi wo mite yo!" LOOK THIS WAY! "choco yori amai! ondo de tokeru!" SWEETER THAN CHOCOLATE, YOUR WARMTH MAKES ME MELT! ik the translation is rough but!!!! KOI NI OCHITE IRU!!!! THAT DAY I FELL IN LOVE!!! KOIBITO NI NARITAI! I WANT TO BE YOUR PARTNER! I want to make a mizuha animatic of you two falling in love.. and being in love.. and that day you fell in love!

also dreszhu. though I know little about it, I like the idea of baizhu seeing dresvi and going "OMG SHES SO BEAUTIFUL" before regaining his composure lol

what will you leave behind (end titles) - max LL and maude plante-husaruk

spiritfarer is everything to me. BUT this song feels like shroomsym and baivi!! for shroomsym, sym is immortal. there is a way to become immortal with him! this song is about loss, about moving on, about grief, and about getting over it and learning how to lovingly remember instead of feeling constant grief. immortality comes with watching the death of all your favorite people, but the last line "but it's ok, we'll be together my friend" would be how sym would be there through it all.

with baivi though!!! baivi is the sort of couple that goes through and sees everything. they grow old together, watch friends come and go, watch relationships blossom and deteriorate, see the landscape around them shift and change, and learn every little thing they can, and more. they guide each other through every difficulty, every problem they may ever have. and they make their own world, out of love and beauty and patches of everyone and everything in their lives. baivi is a couple that grows old together.

hikouki gumo - yumi arai

kavexis. alexis gets to see all of kaveh's dreams up close, everything he wants and everything he does to reach those wants. hikouki gumo is the ending song of "the wind rises", about an aeronautical engineer (I think?) who falls in love with a woman with tuberculosis. though he stays with her as much as possible, she doesn't survive. however, they get to love in the most beautiful ways possible. they love in paper airplanes, they love in carefully-chosen gifts, they love in dropping everything to see each other, they love in spite of everything that encourages them not to. they love no matter what may happen. that's kavexis to me, passion and dreams and unconditional love. kaveh would do anything for alexis, and all she wants is for him to love her. "i've loved you since the wind brought you to me" is my favorite quote from that movie, and I think it suits kavexis :}

itsudemo dare ka ga - shang shang typhoon

sunvi? this is the ending song of "pom poko", and is playing during a lot of friends reuniting. I feel like sunvi is about never truly being apart, only in different places. this song talks about never forgetting the name of the people who loved you. sunvi is about remembering. remembering favorites and dislikes, anniversaries and birthdays, names and relations. everything that matters, and everything that doesn't. because if it's connected to someone you love, is anything really insignificant?

le temps des cerises - cora vaucaire

this is a song that plays in "porco rosso"! the woman that sings it in in love with the main character, though he feels as if he will never be good enough for anything. he has too much guilt about his past mistakes, and doesn't want anything bad to befall someone he cares about, so he stops caring. but she persists, and I think that's very reminiscent of a possible mizuha or pantalovi au. for mizuha, kazuha feels as if he isn't stable enough for relationships. also everything that happened with tomo, he doesn't want that to happen to mirei. but she doesn't care. all she cares for is kazuha, and that's what matters to her. slowly, she teaches kazuha that she loves him with all the risks he may see in being close to someone. as long as they get to be together, she'll be happy, and so will he. pantalovi has something similar, with how pantalone is in the fatui and all. how could that end up in safety for vi? how could he make sure she'd be ok? by not involving himself with her, is his first thought. but similar to mirei, vi is persistent! she will love freely! and he will have to learn to accept that. and he does, because he loves her. pantalone will make sure NOTHING bad ever happens to vi, who appreciates the sentiment, but once again similar to mirei, won't mind what happens as long as she is with him.

socks - out of luck

MY FAVORITE SONG FOR SHROOMIYA!!!! "what's up? how you been? / I wanna be so much more than friends!" lots of realizing you're in love and wanting to confess and not being good at telling someone you love them but trying anyways!! wanting to be with someone forever and never being forgotten and sharing things that only you and them know! yoimiya reminds me of giggling into pillows at a sleepover, and that's what this song also feels like!! failed confessions and flustered glances!!

i do adore - mindy gledhill

baivi. vi is so deeply in love with baizhu that him just asking her about her day makes her a blushing mess!!! they're different in so many ways, but not in a way that sparks argument, in a way of someone who's always cold has someone who's always warm!! they compliment each other in such a personal way, it feels as if they were made for each other!! no matter how many times vi fails at telling baizhu how she feels, or how much he means to her, he understands. he is able to tell by the absolute adoration radiating off of her, that all her words are laced with love.

sakura kiss - chieko kawabe

i put the ohshc intro on here because of who this playlist is about jhsdjh. but also mizuha kavexis and shroomiya are all couples who would shout these lyrics at a sleepover turned karaoke night. KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE!

pretty girl - clairo

high school au baivi, kavexis, and shroomiya. helpless girls + kaveh who'd do anything for their favorite person.

for baivi, vi would see him in the halls, and it'd start off as just a little hallway crush. but she'd find herself constantly looking for him, trying to find out what he likes, what he doesn't, who he's close with, who he isn't. she's writing him little love notes to stick in his locker, and though she's been found doing this by a multitude of people, none have told baizhu!! she thinks. one day, one day, she'll find the courage to tell him how she feels. (and one day, one day, baizhu will find the courage to strike up a conversation with you) this could also work with sunvi + pantalovi but I think it's cuter with baivi <3

for kavexis this song fills my brain with the image of kaveh in fluffy pajamas and looking at his phone, which has a message from alexis that says something like "thank you!!" and he's blushing because SHE saw worth in HIM and thinks that HE was worth not one, but TWO. WHOLE. EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! they might as well have gotten married already!!! kaveh is so hopeless and in love with Alexis, and thinks that she's so out of his league!! but she thinks the same about him. so they're both stuck in the pining stage with a VERY annoyed alhaitham.

for shroomiya. I would do anything for her!! I'll make her snacks!! this is affection in the form of simple acts of love that are filled with adoration, mistakes made to make someone laugh, and endearing habits belonging to someone you love. I could be her pretty girl!!!

kool - meet me @ the altar

honestly? kavexis. both of them think that the other is so cool! that the other should look in the mirror and think about how beautiful they are! both are such daydreamers, and could spend the entire day just thinking about the other. but they'd much prefer being with them, thinking about them is a good temporary substitute. pining and doesn't know the other feels just like them!!

cat serenade - beetlebug

MIZUHA MIZUHA MIZUHA MIZUHA!!!!! "I've never been the kind to fall in love / it's just me and a couple of fleas and that's all I want" HE NEVER WANTED TO STAY IN JUST ONE PLACE BUT IF IT MEANS ANOTHER DAY WITH YOU HED STAY A CENTURY! kazuha slowly realizes again what it's like to find a home not in a place but in a person, and finds himself imagining all the places he'll go with mirei. he'd go fishing with mirei. go to liyue with beidou and mirei. search for flowers for mirei. everything has mirei added on, and honestly? he doesn't mind. he could use a couple more years of his life, if it means those years will be with you.

honey jet coaster - nasuo and route BLUE - yuki nakashima and kawaii dake ja nai - nasuo

shikimori intro and outro. and the shikimori-themed song. that means baivi. highschool au baivi again where everything with vi or baizhu apart of it is beautiful! everything has to be about the other, and if it's not, then they'll find a way to make it!! every single thing baizhu does is endearing. every bite of food vi takes baizhu finds himself smiling at. ik I compare you to shikimori a lot vi but I think it would be reversed? like. yes ur like shikimori. but for the Cool Person/sweetie who's madly in love with the Cool Person dynamic of shikimori and izumi, baizhu would be the shikimori. while baizhu is always making sure that vi is ok, that she doesn't accidentally hurt herself, that she isn't overworking herself, she's making sure that he doesn't have to worry!! vi's doing everything she can to take care of herself so baizhu doesn't have to constantly worry himself over her, but he still does. and whenever vi tries to bring up possibly being a nuisance to him, he shuts it down before she can get the full sentence out. he worries because he loves her. he worries because she matters to him. he couldn't imagine a world without her, and doesn't want to.

every little thing - cybergirlfriend

shroomiya and mizuha. mirei would GUSH about everything kazuha does!! his handwriting, the way his voice gets softer when he talks directly to her, the way he looks at her with a warm smile after grabbing her hand.. anything and everything she can think of!! and I'm never going to have an empty mind when yoimiya's around. it's always full of thoughts of her!!! <33

biri-biri - yoasobi

i can't say yoasobi without also saying mirei. which is why this is another mizuha song. she's waiting!! she's hoping!! she's anticipating what kazuha will say, do, and everything else about him!!! when will she see him again? what will he say next? where is he right now? when will he hold her hand again? she's always wondering!! and he always has the answer, and it's always "whenever and whatever you want".

shake & shake - sumia

this is the intro to a really weird anime that me and someone else are watching together so I put it on the playlist. anyways this is shroomiya. we'd watch the anime together and laugh at how weird and i'd teach her the choreography in the intro <3

chicken noodle - small crush

kavexis? verali? for kavexis, kaveh is the mess. nothing goes right for him, except for alexis. she's the right in his world of wrongs. when he falls in the mud, she picks him back up and cleans him up. when he loses something, she spends hours helping him find it. he's a mess, but you're the best.

for verali it's swapped. I love you alexis but from what I know of verali you'd be the mess <3 she struggles with falling asleep on time, and he texts her at exactly 10:30pm to go to bed without being prompted to do so. he brushes her hair when she forgets to. he always makes sure that her working space is clean. whenever alexis asks him why, he tells her that he's just doing the bare minimum.

signal dreams - small crush

shroomsym!! "i would rather be living in a dream / if that's the only way I could get close to you" anything for you! everything for you! dedicating your days to someone who doesn't know that you think of them the amount that you do! doing things for someone that they'll never know of! picturing yourself with someone you think will never look your way again!!! he's a dream, and i'm doing fine asleep.

freshman year - small crush

sunvi. vi getting her view on everything skewed. she's having to get used to a new life, a new place, new people and nothing she can do to make the scenario more comfortable. but sunday can do something. so he does, and makes her feel as welcome as he can. he makes sure that she is loved properly, and cared for in the way she needs to be. "but I wish I knew then what I know now" if only she always knew how much sunday would do for her. (he'd do anything)

rumblin tummy - small crush

i swear I didn't plan for it to end like this but. tbh. this fits with everyone.

shroomiya: similar feelings to socks!! i'd never waste a day if it's spent with you! <3 no emotions are useless, no words are meaningless, because they're for her. everything is about her. everything is for her.

baivi: days upon days upon weeks months years and lifetimes spent with each other. spent sighing and dreaming and falling in love too many times to count, and then falling in love again!!! finding new ways to say I love you every day, and new ways to reciprocate.

kavexis: kavexis actually really feels like a couple who has a lot of accidental synchronization!! complimenting outfits, texting each other at the same time, confessions piling over each other because you were both so adamant that the other spoke first.

mizuha: making sure that the other is always cared for. during any absence, any reason for not being together, they are both always secure and excited to see each other again. and they always do, they always, always reunite.

shroomsym: I'm never ever going to be free from him, and honestly, I don't mind. I'd waste all my time finding him, talking to him, and thinking about him while I'm not with him.

sunvi: making space for each other, making time for each other, anything to accommodate to your beloved. because that's what you are to each other. everything you do, is in honor of them. sunvi feels like the type of couple to always be intertwined with each other, when you see sunday, vi is not too far behind. when you see vi, sunday was just making his way over with a bag of food and a kiss for the crown of vi's head.

verali: though he may deny it at times, veritas lives for all of alexis' mannerisms. everything she does fills him with love. everything she says makes him so, so happy. he'd really love it if he were able to just be with her for the rest of his life.

pantalovi: he always makes sure that vi is taken care of, because that is always the top priority. vi is everything to him, and he's everything to her. how could either of them be any less? when all of their spare time is spent on the other, how could there ever be any doubts that their love is less than unconditional and absolute?

Here is the masterlist of this series!

✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤

"I have heard that some villages are suffering from a plague, do you know what is going on?" Bosacius asks.

"It is an outbreak of Reuca, I am already trying to get around the situation. But it won't be easy." You say with a tired sigh.

Bosacius looks at you with a frightened, pragmatic and worried expression all at the same time.

"I think in a few days I can contain it, don't worry too much." You say trying to sound confident, because frankly you felt quite apprehensive about the situation.

"I can help you with whatever you need. You know I can handle things here and anything else you need. Don't overwhelm yourself." He says gently advising you.

You nod.

And today, besides having to take care of Reuca's problem, you would have to get some more medicine. Currently you had not made any progress in the recovery of your companions, Bosacius seemed to have been a case apart, maybe some specific component helped him to wake up, but that unfortunately was not a pattern. Indarias had moved and had small reactions, but nothing out of the ordinary, or out of what you had seen over the years.

And as expected, it would take you a lot longer to figure out how to get them to wake up, but there was something you noticed that bothered you. Maybe because of the close contact you had with them, you had passed on some kind of disease, like Reuca, for example. You were not immune to it, the thing is that it was just some minor effects, at least none of the Yaksha got sick because of it. The same little marks that were characteristic of the disease were appearing on the others, which could easily become a big problem just because they were incredibly fragile.

This was all the more reason to try some drug that could make them better before it was too late.

"I remember Verr Goldet said he wanted to talk to you. You should come see her.”He says, patting you on the back in a comforting way. Funny how he could sense that you were worried about something.

You then head for the reception desk where Verr Goldet spent most of her time, and as soon as she saw you, she said. "I was just looking for you, I remember you had ordered some sweet flowers.They arrived this morning.” She says pointing to a package beside her.

"Thank you, how can I pay you?" You ask her.

"Don't worry dear, what you do is already enough. Since you are leaving, I will leave them in your room." She says with a kind smile.

You thanked her, and as soon as your back was turned she added. "Oh, I almost forgot, Baizhu is waiting for you downstairs."

It was not a good sign, Baizhu would not come here in person for nothing. And from the bad news that was already circulating, you didn't expect him to be the provider of a good one.

"Did something happen?" You ask him cautiously.

"I needed to talk to you personally, I suppose you are already aware of the recurring situation we are going through.” From his tone it was already possible to understand the gravity that things were taking.

"About what specifically? Do you mean Reuca?" You'd rather let him get started than misunderstand him.

"The cases are already spreading to the smaller villages, but I have already detected some in the city. I would like to know if you are already aware of the situation.”Baizhu asked you, and you noticed that he had some dark circles under his eyes and a tired look on his face. An indication that things were not good indeed.

"Yes I am, I just found out a few days ago. I asked Zhongli to talk to you about it, I don't know if he said so. But I'm already trying to fix the situation, don't worry.” You say, sitting down next to him.

"I wish I wasn't upset by this situation, however things are already more critical than you can imagine."

"Do you already have a solution? I mean, something partial. I remember that before there was no way to combat this.”

"Getting some medicine, along with herbal remedies that can at least minimize the effects. But I still don't know if it's going to be enough to keep the patients alive, but I'm doing my best.”He says in almost a way of consoling himself and standing his ground. Still you could sense that he was nervous about the situation, you could imagine the pressure he was under.

"So it's an experimental method? I can try to help you, at least to find some components. I can't make them because it would be lethal, you know that anything I make is too strong for humans.” You said upset with yourself, not that it was your fault, but surely with the knowledge you had you could help in some way.

"I think you'd better handle this situation first, things around town are already overloaded enough as it is. We're already having to set up some emergency clinics, and this took me by surprise."

You gave a light sigh, it's not like you didn't expect this to happen, but it was still a redundant situation. But on top of all this, there was something or someone who was spreading the disease even further, and even with your investigations you hadn't found an adequate answer to that, with so many problems at once it was difficult to focus on just one.

"I have to get back to my work, I have many patients to see today. I just came to see if you were already aware of the situation.” He says getting up and preparing to leave.

You nodded and he said goodbye, you remained seated while pondering some things.

You had thought about going to the Harbor to contact Liyue's Qixing about the situation, it might make things easier since they could properly warn people about what was going on. But at the same time telling everyone might not be the best idea, besides causing a buzz among the people, it might drive away the real person responsible for the situation.

However, people would have to take the necessary precautions not to make it bigger and more problematic, you yourself had already noticed that the mining activity had increased in the last few days, precisely because of the stones that had a high value. Even if there were warnings, or even old stories about the evils of Lumiar stone, most didn't care, because they thought it was just stories to scare children. A pity they thought that way, because of human frailty, they should be much more careful.

Even for you it was something dangerous, you felt exhausted just by spending a long time near the stone, imagine the effect it would have on even weaker beings. What you could do to prevent at least a little bit the situation from getting worse, is to use a portion of your power to prohibit many ordinary civilians from getting close to dangerous areas, by doing some manual interventions.

Making some stone piles or even creating an unpleasant atmosphere so that people would move away quickly. In the short term it worked, but then everyone came back. Besides, it wasn't as if only one area was the source of the problem, there were many places, and this made it easier for events to spread.

Your first decision was to go after some herbs to try to help Baizhu, as well as to see if the situation was under control at certain points. You headed for the Guili plains, after some Violetgrass. It didn't take long before you reached the place, but instead of going to get the plants, you saw the same red-haired man who used to talk to Morax, this Fatui.

He was talking to some of his subordinates, and you sneaked closer to try to listen to the conversation. It wasn't every day that you could get any kind of relevant information that easily. You managed to hear a thing or two, but they were more frivolous things than anything really useful.

"Well, well, look who we have here." Childe turns to you with utter contempt.

He ordered the others to disperse, and they did. Soon there were only the two of you.

"You're the stranger here. What are you doing here?" You return the question to him.

He laughed cynically and then answered, "I'm just a citizen of Liyue, there's nothing wrong with me.”

Before you could answer him, your eyes were fixed on the package he was holding. Apparently some medicine bottles, but what was he doing with them?

"That caught your attention? Want to see what it is?" He picks up a bottle and hands it to you.

You accept it a little suspicious, make a quick evaluation. On the package insert it said it was a specific treatment for diseases that were not so common, and one of these diseases was Reuca, followed by a few others that affected various regions of Teyvat.

"So? I can be a kind person and give this to you, and a pretty easy solution to your problems, isn't it?" He says pridefully.

Automatically you realized what he was talking about, selling a solution like that, when you were almost certain that the Fatui were to blame. How do you make a problem and give the solution? It doesn't make any sense.

"But will you give it to me for free? Don't try to make a fool of me, I know that you have your price." You say.

"Now, how hard is it to accept an act of kindness coming from me? I just want to help." He says, alternating between an offended and a kind tone.

You looked him up and down with narrowed eyes, there was nothing suspicious about him. Other than the fact that he was a Fatui, but nothing more aggravating than that. It was obvious that he didn't want to help just because he wanted to, there was something more to it all, although it was still too early for you to make an opinion about anything.

"Come on, are you going to accept or not? Remember that you have a lot at stake if you don't accept." Behind the common tone, there was an open threat.

"If I don't want to accept, what will you do? Don't threaten me, because if I were you I would think twice before doing it." You threaten him back, it wasn't as if you had forgotten that if you wanted to finish him off here and now, you could safely do so.

He laughed and ran one hand through his hair, then put his hands around his waist and looked at you strangely, as if he were watching a competition before his eyes. It wasn't a simple contest, but one that he would do anything to win, and obviously he wouldn't hesitate to use force if necessary, because that was exactly what he wanted to do.

"I'm here in a good mood trying to offer you help, if you don't want it that's your problem. But I'm not leaving here empty handed either." He posed in a more withdrawn manner, as if ready to attack.

"Be honest and I won't do anything against you, I just need you to tell me why you are helping me. You know that's not your job, on the contrary."

And he laughed out loud, as if he had heard an extremely pleasant joke. It was intriguing how he seemed to enjoy the situation. And instead of speaking he opened the bag he was carrying, allowing you to see how many medicinal herbs he had, besides several ready-made remedies. There were also many flowers that could help in the manufacturing of remedies.

"I guess that speaks for itself, doesn't it?" He says proudly, even smugly.

You dared to touch things, and looked deeper into them. You had not heard of this type of medicine, the components were clearly from other regions, like Inazuma or even Sumeru. Besides the other materials, some were regional but most were not, everything seemed perfectly elaborate. It wasn't as if there was anything strange about the compounds, but it was also unusual for the very people causing the problem to come up with the solution. Which left you with a bad feeling about the whole thing.

"I accept." You say calmly.

He even opened his mouth to speak, possibly to provoke you, but closed it immediately and looked at you a bit dumbfounded.

"I'll keep this, I hope you really aren't up to something, Childe." You say, collecting everything and getting ready to take it with you.

"You're just going to take it? No complaints or anything?" For some reason he sounded disappointed, and you don't understand, isn't that what he wanted from the start?

"Don't tell me you're giving up now? Wasn't that exactly your purpose in coming here?" You ask him.

He looked a little disconcerted, but soon returned to his normal posture. "Of course, that's exactly what I came here for." He seemed to be trying to find a way to speak without sounding frustrated.

"Good. I'll take this with me, and I'll still keep an eye on you. I hope we don't have any kind of problem." You say authoritatively, as a way of reminding him who you were.

He didn't respond, and you didn't wait for him to respond either. Then you turned your back and walked away.

You can't help but think that this could easily be something to trick you. It's not as if that possibility is out of the question, you would still have to see the components of the medicines and test their effects, and if this really was a solution, you would take them to Baizhu immediately.

But again, that would take at least two days, or someone with the stamina to withstand the effects if it was something bad. And as crazy as it sounds, you could only think of one person, Morax. Maybe he wouldn't accept it, but it wouldn't hurt to try, since it was Liyue's people who were at stake, there was a good chance he would let it be.

You just had to find him and explain this situation, and also talk about the strange interaction you had with Childe. For sure he knew something else, he had many acquaintances there, so for sure he knew something else.

So you took the packages to a safe place and picked up some copies of the medicine.You were going to head for the port of Liyue, but ended up meeting Morax there in the vicinity of the Guili plains. He didn't see you, he was collecting a few things on the ground, like some minerals. You slowly walked up to him, with a certain curiosity to see what he was doing.

"It's such a surprise to find you here, I thought you used to avoid this place." You say to him, who quickly turns and looks at you.

"I have no reason to avoid coming to this place. What happened before doesn't matter. Although I am more interested in the fact that I found you here, besides the fact that you came to talk to me quietly.” He says with a certain sincerity in his tone.

You decide not to beat around the bush and get to the point. "I need you to do me a favor." You say to him, and try not to use a tone that might cause strangeness.

"What specifically?" He asks quite curious.

You looked at him puzzled while still thinking of a way to say it that didn't sound so adverse.

"I got some medicine, and I'd like to test it. And I would like to be able to test it on you.” You say softly and quietly.

He looked at you grumpily, and took a moment to process what you had said.

"Are you kidding or what? You don't think I'm just going to ingest something you have done, do you?”

"That's not it, these remedies could be the cure for Reuca. But I'm still uncertain, and I need to do it as soon as possible.” You try to make it sound less worse. Not that Morax would suffer any major consequences, but of course he needed to take precautions.

"Where did you get this?" He says, pointing to the vial you were holding in your hands.

You didn't think now would be the right time to say who gave it to you, so it was easier to say you had worked something out with the help of some alchemists. It would be easier for him to believe you.

"I did some tests, and this was the best I could do. And like I said, I can't use it directly on people, I don't know what side effects it might have. So to speed up the process I thought you could help.”

He looked at you analytically, you hadn't responded the way he wanted you to. And to make matters worse you were a terrible liar, and he knew it. He gave a hearty laugh, and took the medicine you had in hand. You didn't react, just stared at him with astonishment, he didn't seem offended now.

"You can be genial when you want to be. I can't even imagine where you got all that stuff to make this medicine.” He says as he passes the vial between his fingers, looking at it cautiously.

"I have my ways, being honest it wasn't hard to find." Your voice intoned in an unsure way, even you didn't know why you was nervous about lying. It's not like anything serious was going to happen.

"I know you, I know well that you must have worked it out on your own."

You wouldn't tell him the origin of the remedy because you yourself didn't even know if it was really functional, besides Morax and Childe were incredibly close, which caused you a certain aversion. So you wanted to try to play a double game, trying to get information from both sides.

"So? Are you going to accept or not, we can solve this very quickly.” You take the medicine from his hands.

He didn't answer but reminded you of an important point that could help. "Actually, do you remember a blessing that was left long ago? In the vicinity of Qingce Village."

And quickly you remembered the events, an ancient Goddess who when she died left a blessing in the Qingce lands. When gods were killed they could use the remaining power for something good or bad, but this goddess chose to use it to benefit Qingce village, the place where she was born and raised. It was the reason that the land there was so productive and fertile, and there was a rumor that those who were sick could recover from the aura that emanated from the very place where the goddess died.

Not only this, but it was also said that herbs and remedies had a stronger and more effective effect if used in the benevolence that the Goddess had left. But this rumor disappeared over the years, as her power weakened. But the elders still talked about it, at least that's what you heard the last time you went to the village.

"Maybe I can rekindle her power?" You ask him.

"I believe so, but it might be dangerous. There are high chances of having some maleficent power coming from it." It is even if it had some risk, still in a strange way you did not feel that you could be seriously hurt if Morax were around.

Even though there might be some remnant of Karma, you were the only one who could deal with that problem, since Morax was not able to solve it. This was the main difference between you and him, and the reason he needed you to remain in charge of this kind of situation.

"If that's a solution, I think we can try."

Maybe if the power left by the Goddess was strong again like before, the medicines could become stronger, even more effective. And if things worked, people could usurp it to their advantage.

"Can you still do that kind of thing? I thought it was outdated for you.” In the background of his voice there was a certain amusement.

"What are you implying? If you're not even outdated, why would I think that?” You say, sounding mischievous.

And he gave you a sincere little smile, you could imagine that he liked these little interactions. Because you always returned his teasing.

"I accept your proposal. You can do whatever tests you want with me.” And you couldn't feel a hint of insecurity in his voice.

You gave a low chuckle, who knew that someday you would be able to do that sort of thing with him freely. But at the same time you were surprised that he accepted it so easily. In the end you agreed that you would go to the village at nightfall, which would still take a while to happen. But you couldn't deny that you had a certain anxiety to see what this situation would provide.

What was left was to wait cautiously, and use the time you had to prepare properly.

A Coconut Contract - (Baizhu & Qiqi platonic, 2k)

So, I posted this on AO3 waaaaay back in September 2022, only my third ever fic. But sharing it here because it still holds up quite well even now with his canon lore.

Wherein Baizhu reflects on his relationship with Qiqi as her custodian. Kind of fluffy and introspective I guess.

---

Herbalist Gui was perplexed by the masked stranger at the counter, bearing a small ornate box in his gloved hands.

“A payment? For Doctor Baizhu?” he said.

“Just fetch him, idiot, he knows what it’s about.” the stranger replied dismissively.

“Qiqi, can you take over a moment please?”

Qiqi looked up at Herbalist Gui with wide doe-like eyes and nodded compliantly. She took up her station with the same determined sense of purpose as a Millelith officer assuming duty. Herbalist Gui felt apprehensive about leaving her alone in the stranger’s company, but he had no choice. He didn’t want to start an argument with the man.

Herbalist Gui went into the back and gingerly knocked on the door of Dr Baizhu’s study.

“Yes?” came the muffled reply from within.

Herbalist Gui cracked the door ajar and said apologetically, “I’m sorry to disturb you, but there’s a gentleman who absolutely insists on seeing you personally. He said it’s something about a payment.”

Baizhu was seated at his desk and looked up from his notes.

“A payment? Did he say what it was for?”

“No. He wouldn’t give a name either. He doesn’t look local though. He’s wearing a carnival mask…”

“Oh! Yes, of course. I know who it is. Tell him I’ll be right out.” Herbalist Gui nodded, closed the door and returned to the shop floor.

“Dr Baizhu will be with you momentarily.” he said.

The Fatuus harrumphed and waited silently, his eyes scanning the surroundings and shelves full of earthenware jars. He didn’t want to contemplate too much on the contents; he’d heard all about Liyue traditional ‘medicine’ and it turned his stomach. Using powdered slimes? Ground up hilichurl horn? What next? He shuddered. Archon forbid he should ever fall sick while on mission here. He didn’t care how great this doctor supposedly was. He surely couldn’t compare to the illustrious Fatui medic.

“Good morning.” said Baizhu, sweetly, “I understand you’re here to settle your benefactor’s account.”

“Yes. It’s all there.” He proffered the box unceremoniously.

“I have no doubt. I shan’t insult you by verifying the contents. I shall prepare a receipt.”

Baizhu went back behind the counter and pulled out a large leather-bound ledger, into which he recorded the payment. Then he meticulously copied out a receipt with a fine writing brush, stamped it with his seal, and handed it to the Fatuus, who took it without so much as a word.

“Please tell your benefactor that I look forward to receiving our first delivery.” Baizhu eyes squinted above an elapine smile.

“What?”

Mirroring the same discourteous condescension the Fatuus had addressed to Herbalist Gui, Baizhu said serenely, “He’ll know. Now if you’ll kindly excuse me, I must get back to work. I bid you good day.”

He bowed slightly and, bearing the box, glided back behind the counter to return to his study.

He set the box down on the desk and opened the contents. Rolls of mora had been reverently wrapped in translucent paper and bound with fine ribbon in equal denominations. Whoever was responsible at the Northland Bank clearly treated currency with an admirable amount of respect. And yet at the end of the day, such trinkets were nothing more than shining metal. It was made of the same atoms as the rest of us, just in a different combination. Thanks to Rex Lapis, it was human society that had attributed transactional value to them.

Baizhu had had no regrets about demanding such an astronomical sum for the Everlasting Incense. Firstly, the item in question was extremely scarce and was produced via a convoluted process in very small batches. It was worth every penny in terms of the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship required to make it; it was supposed to be fit for the interment of a divine entity after all. It so followed that it was a requirement for a very special occasion and had a price tag to match. Such was the rarity of adepti funerals that Baizhu had never anticipated selling one in his own lifetime. Secondly, with the sum he’d received he’d been able to continue to subsidise the cost of prescriptions for the less privileged members of Liyue society; while incense was a luxury item, he did not feel that way about medication. For him, the ability to be healed should not be the exclusive preserve of the rich. Rather, those who worked hardest often had to sacrifice their health just for a meagre wage. And in turn, they stood to lose what little they had if they were unable to continue to support their families. Lastly, he saw it as a small act of revenge against the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour for Hu Tao’s harassment of Qiqi. As much as Baizhu admired Zhongli on an intellectual level, Ms Hu’s outward personality left a lot to be desired. That said, when it came to practising her art, he conceded that she was unparalleled and took her duties and ceremonies very seriously indeed.

Qiqi’s presence in Baizhu’s life was a strange and uncategorisable one. It was not quite that of an adopted daughter, for Baizhu did not feel particularly paternal towards her and he’d never had any plans to ever have children, especially after receiving his diagnosis. However, she was not a mere curiosity either. Perhaps the closest approximation was…a pet? He certainly cared for her welfare and her best interests, both in terms of providing safety and shelter. But he also sincerely cared for her emotional wellbeing too and was not without some affection for her. Nevertheless, his scientist’s curiosity could not help but remark the benefit of doing so. He found her predicament genuinely interesting on both a human and medical level. So, for as long as she was willing to stay with him (and he made sure she knew that she could leave at any time), he would study her as closely as possible. Perhaps study was too clinical a word; Baizhu certainly did not subject her to any cruelty. Any ‘experiments’ were purely with a view to trying to understand and improve her condition. They often took the form of playing games to improve her memory, tasting foods, or trying a new medicine or salve he had formulated to ease the stiffness in her limbs or preserve her skin condition. In observing these exercises and her daily interactions, he was sure to note any points of interest, lest they shed any light on the nature of her life essence and how she came to be. He saw it a mutually beneficial arrangement. He would protect her and provide for her every need. He would help her try to make progress so that she could become increasingly independent and functional in the world. She would provide data, just by existing. That was their contract. And contracts in Liyue were law. That was the way of Rex Lapis. Plus, he had to admit that she was actually a rather helpful assistant for the pharmacy. Her ability to find and gather herbs and medicinal components in the wild was incomparable, even if she was less useful in the shop. She had been a genuinely fine addition to the team. That said, as much as Baizhu told himself that their arrangement was one of convenience, he would have been surprised to see the look of unconditional adoration in his eye every time he smiled at her.

Part of Baizhu also couldn’t help but feel sorry for Qiqi. As much as his own affliction haunted him, he couldn’t even begin to reflect on what it was like to look at the world through Qiqi’s eyes. That said, he was ever so slightly envious of her ability to forget. How peaceful it must be to wake in the morning unhaunted by the events of one's life. But then, one must confront reality anew every day. Perhaps it wasn't so idyllic after all. It also saddened him that though she was a zombie and had lived for centuries, at heart she was a child suspended in stasis. Baizhu reflected on how her distraught parents must have scoured the mountain landscape for days or weeks, desperately searching for their precious child. Bearing lanterns, inconsolably screaming whatever her name had previously been into the dark wilderness until they were hoarse. He envisioned a weeping mother collapsing into her husband’s arms as they had to take a decision that it was their final search party outing. Eternally bearing the weight of the delusional hope of reuniting must have been agony to their dying day. It hurt him to think of their heartbreak that they never knew what happened to her for their whole lives. They must have been tortured by imagining what had arisen, their minds speeding in all manner of horrific directions about their child spending her last moments shivering with cold and fear. They had had no closure, since they had never even found a corpse. On one level, Baizhu wished there could have been a way to tell them that she was not dead. But at the same time, Qiqi was no longer the vibrant, colourful girl she had been in mortal life. Any free-spirited vigour had long since returned to the elements. So in that respect, the girl they knew and loved had very much died in that cave so many centuries before. It was probably better that they had not found her after all. He dreaded to think what could have happened to Qiqi in those unenlightened days if they had found her. Would they have rejected her? Attempted to exorcise her? Or worse…? Yes, it was definitely for the best that she was with him now.

Once the pharmacy had closed, Baizhu prepared an evening meal for them both. With the autumn came cooler temperatures and mushroom season. He had prepared some mountain delicacies with some steaming hot rice, plus a side soup to stave out the cold weather. She didn't need food for sustenance but the mealtime ritual was good rehabilitation. As he watched her eat neatly in tiny mouthfuls, he sadly contemplated the fact that, facing his own mortality, he could not protect her forever. Who would take Qiqi into their care once his own time came? Qiqi tidily laid down her chopsticks next to her soup spoon on the ebony tray with a soft clack. Baizhu smiled inwardly at her quiet accomplishment.

“Qiqi.” he called softly.

She looked up at him, expressionless as ever.

“I have a surprise for you.” he said, with a gentle smile.

“A surprise?”

“Yes. Do you remember the Snezhnayan gentleman who promised you coconut milk?”

Her eyes lit up. “Coconut milk?”

“Yes, your favourite. Do you remember him? His hair looked like carrots.”

She scrunched up her little nose with a frown as she tried to remember. Then shook her head slowly.

“No matter. Did you write it down in your book?” he asked, patiently.

She took the book out from her messenger bag and he helped find the page corresponding to the date. Yes, she had recorded it. He pointed to the line.

“See?”

She nodded enthusiastically.

“Come with me.”

They left their seats at the dining table, the chair legs dragging with a squeak against the wooden floor. Baizhu took her tiny chubby hand in his and led her back into the main pharmacy. Both their fingers were cold as ice. Then he pulled out the large leather ledger from the counter and riffled through the pages. He turned the open book to face her and pointed to a line. He tapped his finger lightly against the page.

“Now, see there? I wrote the promise down too.”

She looked up at him with amazement. He crouched down to her level and, holding her upper arms gently, he looked intensely into her eyes.

“Listen very carefully. No matter what happens to me, that promise is there, Qiqi. I have told Herbalist Gui and Consultant Zhongli will remember too, as a witness. The Fatui will have to honour that for as long as they exist.”

The weight of his words didn’t register with her. She blinked her wide amethyst eyes slowly and nodded.

“Qiqi will get coconut milk forever.” Her monotone voice had a hint of brightness to it.

Baizhu chuckled. He had a feeling Qiqi would far outlive the Fatui.

“Let’s write it in your book as well, so you can remember where to find the contract.” She nodded again then prepared a brush so that she could write it herself. He loved watching the concentration on her face as she did these little tasks.

Baizhu observed that her handwriting had improved and couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. The daily practice was doing her good; but he’d have to delve further to see whether this was a neurological improvement or a muscular one. He made a mental note to add this to his research notes.

[anantaru]

Okay Yoru, so…the plan has a bit changed we could say…but in the most perfect way possible!

strytells​:

             Baizhu adjusted his glasses and nodded to Louise, he could see the pain she was in and how much guilt ate at her before he sighed and nodded- the most he could do was reassure her in this situation…

      “Yes, of course…~” A gentle smile from the doctor as he got to his feet, “As for you, miss Louise- I’ll be putting your arm in a sling until it’s properly healed, is that alright?”

               Leona was quiet, moving to sit up and watch her- careful of his own injuries and his own state of being but his ears twitched as Baizhu walked out of the room with Qiqi in tow before he began talking.

        “….you know damn well I don’t give a damn who’s fault it is.” This wasn’t his first Overblot and it wouldn’t be his last. But he was still confused as to why he was so…PROTECTIVE of her. No one remotely came close to dragging that part of him out of the pit of self loathing he’d found himself in…

                                             but she did it…           This nosey Herbivore, who stepped on his tail when they met, who meddled with his plans of sabotage, who forced him to help her get her dorm back…         Who challenged him and called him out on all his bullshit as their lives went on…                No, no…he wasn’t getting feelings for her because of this…

‘How about…I’ll..take better care of myself…if you try harder.’ ‘…sounds like a solid deal…you’re on, Louise.~’

         Leona leaned over slightly as he brushed her hair from her face, hissing at the movement but continuing on nonetheless, moving to replace where Baizhu was sitting and going to hold onto her hand, running his thumb over her knuckles- silence falling over the two of them. And it wasn’t until he moved to properly hold her, laying on the other side of her and pulling her into his arms did Leona speak up again, looking to the wound he caused on her arm…

      “…I meant what I said Lou, I don’t give a damn- you didn’t do this to me on purpose.” It wasn’t an accident either, but how do you describe something someone did when they couldn’t think straight… A shake of his head and he just held her closer to him, almost a bit too protectively for someone who was in denial about having feelings for the other.

       “…I’m not gonna leave.”

Louise couldn’t begin to tell him how sorry she was, sorry that he got hurt, that he had to deal with her….sorry that her whole life was a lie.

She didn’t even fight when he held her close, too exhausted to do so, but found herself leaning into his touch carefully, to avoid hurting either of them. Her head rested on his shoulder and she closed her eyes, her injured arm not moving from it’s spot next to her, it hurt too much to move anyway.

Why?

She still never understood it.

He was kind to her, he was patient, more so than she ever saw him with anyone else besides a few. It made no sense to her, but she would take any sort of affection she could get. After all, maybe once this was all said and done, nothing would change, maybe he’d go back to his old self as if there was nothing between the two.

But…

She could have a little hope, right?

Suddenly the tears started to fall from her eyes as she gripped his arm and buried her head into him, letting out body wracking sobs. All the stress, from their time in STYX, to Idia’s overblot, to her own…all the secrets and lies spilling forth, all the pain she had to hold in. It all came pouring out as she cried into him. Not even caring about the pain she moved her wounded arm and held onto him as if he was a lifeline, rolling to her side to face him. 

“I’m sorry….I’m sorry…!” Repeated over and over like a mantra, muffled him his shirt as she tried to curl into him to make herself seem smaller. “Please…I’m sorry I’m a monster. Please don’t leave…” 

If her whole life had to be a lie, please at least let him tell the truth and stay. That’s all she asked.

Bedside Manner … 🩻

🥼You’re not feeling so good, let them take care of you 🩺 Gn!reader x Dottore, Baizhu, Tighnari, Albedo and Thoma 🥣

When you enter his lab, hacking loudly, clutching your head, Dottore assumes you’re just being dramatic. It wouldn’t be the first time you’ve come to him with false aches and pains in order to get his attention. However, as one of his clones so politely announced: “Damn, you look like shit” he decided to actually give you a proper once over. Sure enough, you did look like shit. You looked like you’d been stomped on by a sumpterbeast. “For celestia’s sake…” Prime grumbles as he takes you by the arm, practically dragging you back up the stairs you’d just came down, back down the hall you had struggled to walk, just to plop you gracelessly onto the bed in his personal quarters. He asked you a series of questions, mentally noting your answers as he stripped your damp clothes off. Had you been outside? Foolish... Your head was pounding, your throat was sore, your neck and shoulders hurt- honestly your whole body was sore and tired. Dottore inspected the inside of your mouth and determined you had strep throat. You whine as he delivers the diagnosis “Do something, my throat is killing me!” “Yes, yes- I know it is. If you’d let go of me, I’d be able to fetch some medicine for you. You won’t like it though, it tastes awful” he was correct, it did taste awful. Even though he complained about missing work or possibly running behind on reports, he sat by your bedside for the rest of the night. Clones filtered in and out, delivering paperwork for him to complete as he sat and others brought medicine n food for you both. Dottore could be a little soft when he wanted to be…

Baizhu sighs as he removes the thermometer from your mouth, holding up by the light so he can see. “My my, it seems you have a fever. And a high one, at that.” He clicks his tongue, setting the tool aside, tucking you back in. You were certainly ill, you had chills despite your high temperature and wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep beneath your pile of blankets. “Poor darling… You look so pitiful” It’s true, you’re shivering- you should have listened when he said to avoid commissions out in the cold rain. But, as your doctor and your lover, it’s his duty to care for you. Baizhu let Gui handle the pharmacy today while he cared for you- his most favorite patient <3 His time was spent fetching water for you, periodically giving you various herbal medicines and, in an attempt to help soothe you, he sat in bed with you to play with your hair and massage your achy shoulders. He likes watching over you, taking care of you when you need him. It gives him a purpose. There’s been plenty of times where you’ve coddled him while he suffers through flare up’s of his own. Our lovesick sweetheart enjoys returning the favor when you need it. It’s nice to be relied on <3

Tighnari sighs in disapproval as you reject the breakfast he made you. You insist you feel too nauseous to even think about the sugary pastries he’s attempting to tempt you with, you close your eyes and bury your face in your pillow to avoid the sweet smell. The night before, you’d eaten a mushroom that looked familiar. A light brown one with curly top, one you’ve seen plenty of times! However, because it was dark, you hadn’t seen it was orange and not brown. That mushroom had in fact been poisonous- not to the extent that it would kill you but to the extent that you couldn’t get out of bed due to your stomach ache. “I told you to be careful. How many times must we go over which fungi is edible and which are not?” Tighnari clicks his tongue, setting the platter of food aside. You feel the bed dip as he sits beside you and a warm, fluffy tail wraps it’s way around your waist protectively “I’ll take pity on you just this once. I’ll stay home to keep an eye on you… But you’re forbidden from eating any mushrooms without showing them to me first, okay?” You know that he’s just putting on a front, he is worried about you. And you know from experience that this will likely happen again in the future…. You know that you should take his advice and point the shrooms out to him next time before scarfing them down ;-;

Albedo has never fallen ill himself but he’s seen enough sick people to know when something is wrong. That and the fact that he’s been around you almost every day for years now, it isn’t hard for him to notice how tired you seem, how your eyes droop shut as you stand or how your face flushes with fever. He stares at you with a doubtful expression as you attempt to convince him that you’re ‘fine’… That excuse never works on him. Before you can argue any more, Albedo drapes his coat over your shoulders and offers- no, demands, to take you home. That’s how you find yourself in a cocoon of blankets, a mug of hot chocolate clutched between your cold hands. Within the cocoon, Albedo subtly smiles to himself. He likes taking care of you, he enjoys making you stay in bed all day with him. It isn’t often that the chief alchemist can have a day off, he’s going to use your illness as an excuse to stay home as long as he can. Not that he’ll admit that. Instead, he’ll him and rest his hand on your face ‘Mm… still signs of a fever. Perhaps we rest one more day just to be sure’ ‘Bedo, it’s been four days I wanna go back to work’

Thoma is the supreme worry wart. He’s bound to make himself sick too with how much he’s fretting about- making food, doing extra laundry, asking a billion questions, all of which is for your comfort of course. He can’t help it, he just hate hate hates seeing you so weak and tired. You even find yourself comforting him on occasion. “Thoma, I told you I’m fine. You don’t have to go through the trouble of-“ Your boyfriend is having none of that, he simply interrupts you to assure you that: “It isn’t any trouble at all! I don’t mind!” One way to get him to stop pacing around is sighing… sighing again… groaning in discomfort… He’s on you in an instant, asking if there’s anything he can get you, anything at all he can do! “You can come warm me up. I’m awfully cold :( I could use a big, strong, pyro wielder right about now” That’s really all it takes for his resolve to crumble. He’ll gladly slip into bed beside you, snagging his vision off of his belt to press between your chilly hands, his own hands on top of yours. Maybe you could even coax him into a nap too in order to sleep off this nervous energy…

Can i ask for prompt 3 with albedo? Thank you in advance 💓

Forgetting about s/o birthday | Albedo

prompt event

MASTERLIST

❛ :: welcome to my blog ⇐

- it was your birthday and you had everything planned. You wanted it to be just a small celebration with friends.

- you worked hard for the last couple of weeks, you helped Adeline with cleaning, from washing the clothes to rubbing the basement floor. You took four commissions a day and went all the way to Lyuie to help sort Baizhu's herbs and medicine.

- your coin jar was filling with money every day, and this day on a summer evening it was finally full. You haven't slept because you were too busy drawing colorful invitations and reserving tons of food.

- and once you were done the sun was already up in the sky and you had to take your bike to deliver the invitations to your friends.

- now you were holding the last invitation, it was for albedo. He was surprisingly not in dragonspine, instead, he was reading books and writing something on a piece of paper.

"Hey, sorry to bother but are you free tomorrow," you were standing next to him with the envelope in both hands, your head tilted and your smile awkward. "Hmm, I don't know It's something important tomorrow?," Albedo hasn't paid much attention to you, in fact, he didn't even look at you. He just moved his glasses he used when he was reading and wrote something down.

"Oh,uh," you let an awkward surprised sigh. Your heart hurt, yes it was no big deal, you don't care about small things like birthdays or holidays. But now it just hurt? You felt your eyes water and your smile turned into a bitter one. Hah, your chest heavied, "no, nothing," you made yourself answer. "Well, I will be going haha," you left the envelope on the table and left.

That hurt, tears were now freely sliding down your cheeks. "Oh, Y/n are you alright," a sweet voice asked, that person touched your shoulder and hugged you from behind, the hug was so warm and so comfortable, you wish it never ended.

"N-no nothing just allergy," you laughed, "thank you Amber for checking on me." "No problem," she laughed.

- your birthday party was in the angel share. It actually went pretty well. There was lots of food, from baked cupcakes to tatarák, and other specialties from different nations in Mondstadt. It actually helped you forget about Albedo.

- Kaeya got drunk pretty quickly, he ended up crying on Diluc's shoulder when he saw the vase he once gifted him. Rosaria just laughed. Cyno was also there, he was talking to Lisa about the scholars in Sumeru.

- In the middle of the night Albedo run into the vinery, he was wet from the rain outside and cold to the bone. He seemed very panicked, in hand he carried the now half tore and soaked envelope and in the other a small gift. He hugged you from behind apologizing many times, you could see he felt very guilty from yesterday.

- he explained that he opened the envelope in dragonspine and run to there, he said that he haven't got the time to buy you a proper gift, but he still bought you some earrings on his way there.

- since then he always carried a small calendar with him and he also bought a giant one to his dragonspine lab ;p
