What we can take away from the Hidden Strifes event: Diluc and his current relationship with Kaeya
I have too many ideas and new theories filling my mind, so Iâll be making several separate posts. Many things have already been mentioned by others, so Iâll be going over those things briefly or maybe even not at all.Â
 Ok, letâs start with the new info we have regarding Diluc and the series of events that followed his fatherâs death.
Diluc did not leave right away. And it was actually Alice who gave him the idea, and from the wording of both of their letter, it didnât seem to be so much about going on a killing spree, but more about getting away and finding himself (being lost due to the recent events) and along with that also the truth. Also, Kaeya somewhat helped him with it, keeping Jean and Varka from stopping Diluc and giving him a tip on how to leave.
(A part from Aliceâs letter)
(A part from Kaeyaâs letter) The way He worded the last part, makes it seem like Kaeya himself has thought about doing something similar.Â
Not so much about Diluc, but we learn that Kaeya kept Diluc updated about the Eroch situation, even though the other hasnât been shown to have replied or requested the info. You know the âYou donât have to replyâ Also that the whole Eroch process took quite the effort from the Knights and probably also time.Â
EDIT: I also want to add that Kaeya might be aware or at leas have suspicions of Diluc working with a secret organization. Or those âbusinessmenâ were from the fatui. But Iâm more leaning on the first.
  Diluc isnât so much against the Knights of Favonius, but due to their different approaches and differences in philosophy, he prefers steering clear of them, unless cooperation is necessary. Also, we can not forget that Diluc still holds a grudge towards the knights actions following his fatherâs death.
Lastly, it becomes even more clear that Dilucâs character is built on justice and righteousness. And also that heâs someone who thinks about the present and future more than the past. Basically, someone who strides towards the better future, rather than sulking in the past. But interestingly it seems like he also takes a lot after what he has experienced in the past, sort of gets stuck in his feelings and doesnât forgive so easily.Â
(This is opposite to Kaeya, someone who lingers on the past and holds onto mementoes from everything he can, but yet is quick to forgive and put aside his own feelings. He feels hesitant about the future and prefers not to think about it, rather enjoying what he can in the present)
(I might make a separate post about talking about How Kaeya and Diluc are both parallels and opposites to each other)
Now to unpacking Dilucâs and Kaeyaâs relationship:Â
The most important thing we can take away from this event, is that the two have been exchanging letters over the years. Kaeya took the initiative almost immediatly, and even though Diluc was at first resistant, he eventually started sending in replies.Â
(Iâd like to add, that these reveals are very important. I personally feel that they have made not only both Kaeyaâs and Dilucâs characters feel more fleshed out but also their relationship and the string of events more clearer and civil. Basically, it feels much more realistic now. And Iâve certainly felt my perception of the two shift a little)
It seems like their relationship isnât as bad as some thought, but at the same time it seems like itâs still not as good as some hoped for. Iâd say they have found some common ground and are at least on speaking terms. And interestingly you can feel the tone of the letters get better over the years.Â
Talking about the tone of the letter. It seems still a bit cold/resistant and there are some jabs at each other here and there, but overall it does seem better than how they communicate in real life. I think an interesting thing to note when comparing the letters to the others, is that while the tone of the other letters reflect more respect and warmth, itâs partially because the letters sent to Albedo, Alice Jean and Varka have been written in a rather polite manner. In an opposing way writings exchanged between Kaeya and Diluc are much more casual (Kaeyaâs more than Dilucâs, but still).Â
Maybe Iâm looking too much into this, but this line right here, is one of the jabs that actually also seems to have some compassion in it. It seems to be sending a message âWhy donât you worry about yourself instead, I know you act similarly/you arenât any better, so please do take of yourself tooâ
Overall it feels like they both have moved past their initial conflict, but there still seems to be a rock between them that makes it awkward.Â
It seems like Kaeya holds no grudge towards Diluc and his actions and instead takes the blame himself (While they both certainly hold some blame, it feels a bit unhealthy to forgive everyone who hurts you, but you do you, honey). It does feel very Kaeya-like to look at both sides of the conflict and not lable people as good-and-bad or hero-and-villain (Given that Kaeya himself stands between a conflict, having seen both sides, and Iâd say that that experience is the base of Kaeyaâs character and his actions, but thatâs an entirely new topic I might post about one day)
Thereâs no backup to this claim (at least not one I can think of right now), but Iâd say (and Iâve seen others theorize this), that perhaps Diluc seems hesitant towards Kaeya, because he sees his actions as a wrongdoing, a misguided justice, a violation of his own philosophies and while he has tried to learn from that, he still (depending on whether he knows or not about kaeya never having blamed him) doesnât see himself as worthy of forgiveness. As âI should uphold myself to same standards as I do othersâ (So If I canât forgive others why should others forgive me). And thus keeping a bit of distance from Kaeya, at elast emotionally.Â
(Or Itâs Kaeya who canât accept that Diluc has changed, and is thus approaching the matter from the wrong angle. Always referencing things from the past, perhaps thinking it will bring back the old Diluc.)
Lastly, Iâd say that we got even more proof about how much the two work together behind the scene. At this point, Kaeya might as well be sponsoring Dilucâs whole Darknight-hero affair.
And the fact that Kaeya immedaitly figured out that Diluc was the Darknight-hero (though letâs be honest, itâs not that hard) and that similarly Diluc figured out that Kaeya wasnât blinded, shows that despite both having changed and their relationship not being what it used to, they still know each other better than theyâd like to admit.
PS: Sorry if the post is a bit all over the place and long. My thoughts themselves have been all over the place after the reveals. Plus, Iâm not best at putting my thoughts to words sometimes, well actually most of the time.

A Small Predicament [Baby Genshin x Reader]
Characters: Scaramouche, Diluc, Kaeya, Childe, Xiao, Zhongli, Albedo
Synopsis: Cursed for a week, the boys either have to live with it or find a cure as soon as possible. You on the otherhand hoped otherwise.
(A/n): It only takes ONE glance for me to start having ideas. It was twelve in the morning yall, enjoy~
Oh here's part 2
--------
Scaramouche
⢠"Oh you shrank? I couldn't tell-"
⢠Threatens that he will murder you to pieces and burn your remains but his voice was so squeaky and high pitched (voice crack) that you couldn't help but burst into a tearful laughter.Â
â˘Â Its payback time  Bully him, take his hat and hover it above his head. Truthfully, without his hat Scaramouche looks like a little schoolboy. Overall less intimidating.
⢠Tries glaring. Cute. He's really bratty as a kid, sitting on a high chair (which you had to help him get on) and demanding his servants to do his bidding. In reality, his personality never changed. You realized that even as a grown up he still acts like this (bratty kid in a grown man body).
⢠The curse made his week a living hell. Signora had the audacity to pull his ear when he misbehaves. Childe constantly messes with his hair while giving head pats and the WORST of all, pinching his cheeks. Scaramouche never wanted to commit arson so bad in his life.
⢠Eventually finds a cure so he doesn't have to deal with it anymore and orders everyone to never speak of it again. Though, he's plotting how he'll get revenge on everyone who made fun of him using the very same curse (You better run).
~~x~~
Diluc
⢠"OhâŚOh my! Diluc you're just so cute!"Â
⢠Diluc grimaces as you glomp him in this state. How can you help it? With his head so small it makes his hair all the more fluffier! His coat no longer fits him to the point the sleeves had made past his fingertips. He tried wielding his claymore again, only to lose balance and fall flat onto his bum
⢠(insert kid voice "Retribution!") Did I mention the babyface?
⢠Diluc tries to act as if everything was normal, acting like the Darknight hero and Mondstadt's Tycoon but fun-sized. He couldn't. There was no way people would take him seriously in business meetings. Same with fighting abyss mages, his smaller form was too much of a disadvantage. Thus you ended up doing most of his paperwork.
⢠One time you caught him sitting on the floor couldn't reach his office desk  while reading away the various books for a cure. It was three in the morning. You told him it was way past his bedtime and he argues saying when did he ever have a curfew schedule. In the end you managed to convince him and he begrudgingly obliges.
⢠The type to NOT ask for help even when it's obvious that he really needs it. Before he was the one who helped you reach things from the top shelves, oh how the tables have turned. He avoids Kaeya like a plague unless he was in it for another round of funny remarks. When he wanted to go out and get some fresh air, you insisted on accompanying him. Worst mistake in his life. A travelling merchant bumps into you and commented that you had a very cute son. Diluc was mortified.
⢠The day ended up with him sulking in his room. Although it was tempting, you resisted from cooing over his adorable form after days of treating him like a child. It wasn't because you were teasing him, Diluc just works so hard that you wanted to spoil him a bit. At least he could still play a game of chess with you.
⢠When things went back to normal, Diluc ensures that you will NOT see him as your son.
~~x~~
Kaeya
⢠"Well look who it is, my little Prince Kaeya~"
⢠Tries really hard not be bothered by it at all. Kaeya still maintains his suave facade, throwing in a couple of flirting lines here and there (and forcing his voice to go a few octaves too low in which puberty has yet to occur HA). Though no matter what approach, he couldn't ignore the sparkling mischievious glint in your eye. You were obviously not taking him seriously.
⢠Things couldn't get any worse. He lost his masculine physique and boob window, he wasn't able to go to certain places without supervision. But the worst thing of all was that he was underaged. Kaeya hated the fact he couldn't drink anymore, he even insisted you to sneak him a few bottles (which you refused) and had to settle with plain beverages such as fruit juice (what an insult). He was never really grounded since his childhood days but he certainly felt like he was grounded now.Â
⢠Kaeya still kisses you on the lips whether you like it or not. If you ask him to sit on your lap, he will find a way to turn the position into his favour such as resting his face between your breasts. You're not gonna treat him like a kid, nuh-uh, he actively avoids it.
⢠Since his personality still remains, Kaeya is a naughty child. He will use his innocent appearance to sway people (even you) to get what he wants. That was how he was able to take a sip of the wine he stole somewhere (he wouldn't tell you). Diluc scolded him heavily and threatened to ban him from drinking from his Tavern for a week (they ended up arguing, Kaeya being the passive aggressive little shit he is).
⢠He was extremely relieved to return back to his normal form again. He has so much to catch up (specifically his bedtime activities with you *wink wonk*)
~~x~~
Child(e)
⢠"Hmmm to be honest, this actually suits you very much."
⢠Unlike the other boys, Childe was completely okay with it. Turns out that YOU were the one who was not going to be okay. If you thought taking care of Teucer was energy-draining then expect Childe to take that tenfold and beyond.
⢠You've officially became his full-time babysitter who is in desperate need of a raise (and rest). You can't take your eyes off of him and archons forbid that he will ever meet Klee. One point he'll be running ahead by your side and the next you'll find him getting himself in a 1vs7 situation with some shady looking treasure hoarders. Childe genuinely thinks he could take them on but the curse downgraded his abilities. You carried him and barely made out of it alive. (This made you ponder whether the best solution would be to strap him against a chair for the time beingâŚ)
⢠Childe being a child will eat all the candies and ice cream he pleases. You wonder if the curse also turned him a few years back or was it that he acts like this simply because he wanted to (it was the latter). He loves being spoiled, spoiled by you! Childe demands your full attention, spoon-feeding his meals, back rubs and head pats. Yep, he's definitely doing this on purpose.
⢠Did he just call you 'mommy'? (Childe has mommy kink confirmed).  He has so much energy that it was exhausting, you literally had to drag him away from what ever he was doing in order to get him to bed. "No Childe, your sleeping time is 9p.m stop whining." He bargained that he'll sleep if you sleep beside him (you didn't get any sleep. You knew what he was planning. In the end, you tried to make sure he didn't sneak out behind your back.)
⢠Finally you were able to get out of that hell-hole. Childe promised to make it up to you, you deserve it after all~
~~x~~
Small (aka Xiao)
⢠"Did you know in the Liyuean language, Xiao translates to small?" You didn't say that out loud. Not when he's this angry (this angy)
⢠He just stands there, crossing his arms and grumbling. You were hesitant to touch him in case he might hiss at you. Xiao has always been short, maybe an inch taller than you, but seeing him like this made you think 'my almighty yaksha can't be this cuteâĄ'
⢠He gets mad when you no longer call his name for help. How could you? He's just so precious~ Xiao makes it clear that no matter what form he takes, it doesn't make him weak ("Adepti and you mortals are nothing alike." Or so he says but you could tell he wasn't running as fast as he used to becauseâŚsmall legs). You may not comment on it aloud but he can tell just by the look on your face and it irritates him.
⢠Also the type to not ask for help but worse. Xiao is an agressive little kid, he seems as if he'll be willing to bite someone's finger off if they try to pet him (He gives strong cat vibes, so thats understandable). His spear was too big for him to wield so he often has to put it away or else he might knock someone over with it. Xiao hates being short so you'll be hearing him complain alot.
⢠Since he was an adepti, he didn't need to sleep however, the curse must have brought down his power by a significant amount to the point you DID catch him napping. You almost swooned out loud just by taking a glance upon his face. For once he didn't wear his signature grumpy look. Xiao appears like a normal child, one full of innocence. His snoring was soft and breathly but that just meant he was deep asleep. (You wished to take a picture).Â
⢠Of course, everything had to come to an end (much to your disappointment), he still complains about the incident to this day.
~~x~~
Zhongli
⢠How is it possible for a baby to still look so handsome? (Must be his godly abilities)
⢠Zhongli is unfazed by this 'curse' since his past lives have already taken many forms. Though for some reason whenever he walks down the streets of Liyue, young girls, mothers, ladies all come him was and start complimenting him and gushing over him (he was suffocating). They'd squeeze him tight or squish his cheeks, it only takes once glance before the little girls start blushing and hiding behind their moms.
⢠Needless to say, despite what form he is in, Zhongli is still able to get free stuff. He got some free candies and some free kites to play with. You had to help him carry his items. Zhongli ends up tripping too much because his tailcoat reached his feet (he decided to just take it off. You had to hold that too). Seems like he can have anyone do things for him in the end HA.
⢠He still got that drippy voice and you're just like ???? "What on Teyvat Zhongli, you're a kid." This is why you can't see him as one, its nearly impossible.
⢠Actively avoids Hu Tao and Childe. Once Hu Tao caught sight of him and chased him for hours, he couldn't stay in one spot knowing that she might just pop out of no where. Childe still spoils him, however Zhongli feels irritated by the fact the only things Childe buys him toys (its different when other people do it.)
⢠Everytime you guys go back strolling through Liyue, you had to hold his hand in case more women come swarming hin again. You swear that at this rate he might get kidnapped because hes just such a beautiful baby.
⢠Zhongli learned an important lesson after his curse was lifted: no matter how many years he lives throughout never take a form of a child.
~~x~~
Albedo
â˘Â You find him buried beneath a pile of books and had to dig him out before he suffocates.
⢠Albedo has the cutest eyes, they're big and round full of curiosity and they sparkle too (he has the prettiest eyes out of everyone tbh). He is the only person who is fascinated by this outcome and immediately goes in the wild to test out his new physique.Â
⢠He was always curious why Klee T-poses when she runs so he decided to try it out himself. She was thrilled to find out that she now has a little brother to play with. In the end, Albedo indulges in the games she always wanted to play but couldn't because he was too old: princess dress up tea parties.
⢠You felt many things when you saw Albedo wearing a frilly gown and a plastic tiara tucked on his head. Deep down you knew regardless of what gender Albedo was still pretty. Klee even had the guts to redo his hair and hardly anyone was able to recognize it was him at all. He has pigtails, PIGTAILS! You made sure to burn that image into the very depths of your mind forever.
⢠The only advantage was the he was ablw to fit through small spaces, other than that, being small was way too inconvenient. He knocked down a few of his potion bottles which damaged the floor (thankfully not him) because they were lethal (he wonders how Klee was able to not injure herself when using bombs). You carried him and lifted him to alot of places such as trudging through the snow because Albedo would surely fall on his face due to his small form.
⢠Enough was enough, he only lasted a day with this and decided to just make a potion and put an end to the curse once and for all.Â

Falling asleep on their shoulders on a train || Genshin Men X GN Reader
modern au
warnings: none, no proof read
characters: albedo, childe, diluc, kaeya, kazuha, scaramouche, thoma, xiao, zhongli
Albedo : He didn't realise at first that you were asleep on his shoulder. He was too occupied to notice. Scrolling through the documents on his laptop, he suddenly felt a weight on one of his shoulder. He looked to his side to see you, peacefully sleeping on his shoulder. He looked at you for a whole minute, deciding whether to move or not. But well, you looked so peaceful that he didn't want to wake you up. He looked at his laptop, sighed, and turned it off, carefully. He took his phone out to lower the ringtone just in case it rings and wakes you up. He lowered himself to make it comfortable for you and gazed at the scenario through the glass window on the opposite side, taking in the silence between you two.
Childe : He was going through his phone that he felt a weight on one of his shoulders. He looked to the side to notice you, in deep sleep. He was planning to wake you up but he noticed your little snores, which would be a lie if he says he didn't find it cute. Letting you sleep on his shoulder, he kept scrolling through his phone. The next station arrived as the sound of the announcement woke you up. Oh dear, how embarrassing, you thought. Before you could say anything, he gave you his phone, "You can keep be the apology for later, can I have your number before you get off the train?"
Diluc : As there were no seats available, he was standing while talking on his phone about some work. As he was speaking, he felt a weight pushing him forward. He thought it was someone trying to break through the crowd, so he looked at his side. You were hardly trying to balance your very self as you leaned on to his shoulder, in deep sleep. Diluc stiffened at the contact. He tried to wake you up but the movement caused while waking you up, made you lean even closer to him while resting your head on his shoulder. He immediately tried to cage you so you wouldn't fall, which, apparently looked like he was hugging you. Embarrassed would be very least compared to what Diluc was feeling at that moment. Poor man, he even thought what if you wake up and think he is a pervert. The voice on the ongoing call kept calling his name. He took his phone close to his lips as he whispered, "Adelinde, can you inform others that I'll be late for the meeting? I can't get down on the next station, apparently."
Kaeya : Kaeya, himself, was leaning back onto the seat while trying to take a small nap. Last night's hangover and all didn't really give him enough time to sleep and, here he was, taking a small nap on a train. Kaeya is a light sleeper, so when he felt a weight on one of his shoulder, he was quick to react. Kaeya stared at your figure leaning dearly on his shoulder in deep slumber. He thought to wake you up but hesitated to disturb your peaceful sleep. So, Kaeya, out of no choice, decided to take a nap too. It will also be much better if you wake up and see him asleep, that way you will be less embarrassed, he thought. Well, you woke up to missing your station.
Kazuha : Kazuha was reading a book, full of poems. He did realise that beside him on the seat, there was a person who was in deep slumber, you. Kazuha and you were both strangers but also not. You both used to get on the same train and get off the same train, together. A relationship where you both met each other every single day but never talked to. Kazuha was reading the poems that he noticed something. Beside you two, there was a third person on your side. Slowly, you were leaning on their shoulder in deep slumber. Well, Kazuha wouldn't have bothered much till the stranger you were leaning onto started to wrap their arm around your sleeping figure. Oh dear, the way Kazuha glared at the stranger was enough haunting to them for few nights while going to bathroom alone. Kazuha coughed, eyeing the stranger as he gestured with his fingers 'they're with me'. The stranger was quick to remove his arms around your figure while Kazuha inched closer to you, carefully making you lean on his shoulder instead. He slowly removed some hair stances on your eyes, and layed his head onto your head lightly, reading his book, as you both waited for the next station.
Scaramouche : Scaramouche wasn't having it. You were sleeping on his shoulder for the past thirty minutes. He seriously wanted to wake you up and he actually did, just to get no response from you. He stared straight, facing the opposite side of the train. He looked so pissed that he even made a child on the train cry from his glare. Giving up, he sighed. He was going to get off on the next station. The next station arrived, he was about to get up while not really caring about your sleeping figure leaning on him, that he noticed something. A stranger on the opposite side of the train, facing you both, as he stared creepily at your figure. Oh dear, the moment the stranger realized they were getting stared at by someone, only to meet Scaramouche's typical death glare, they were so close to wet themselves. Scaramouche didn't stop though. He kept glaring at the stranger as if they were nothing but a piece of dirt. Which ended up with the stranger getting down on the current station even though their station was after few. Scaramouche stayed, not feeling assured that you'll be safe in your deep slumber, missing his station. You woke up after a while, to find a purple haired man looking at you with such disappointment which made you apologize not only at that moment, but, the rest of the journey.
Thoma : It was busy and crowdy on the train. Thoma stood straight with plastic bags filled with stuffs hanging on his arms as he hold you still while you laid your head on his chest being in deep slumber. You both knew each other since you both stayed nearby, barely interacting than just a 'good morning' & 'good evening'. How you ended up like this starts like this, you were standing on the train as you gave your seat to an old lady since there were no seats available. You were pretty exhausted, sleepy, every single word which is the opposite of relaxed. Thoma, being on the same train, took notice of your figure slowly dozing off to sleep. Well, you would have hit your nose or so if he didn't dash in front of you to carefully make you lean on him. Thoma stayed like this for a few minutes till the next station arrived and the crowd got off, leaving enough seats. Thoma, being the gentleman he is, carefully made your sleeping figure sit while taking a seat beside you. Carefully inching closer, making your head lean on his shoulder, he relaxed his strained muscles he got while standing for long enough. Do accept his invitation for dinner at his house after you wake up and instead of accepting your apology he throws this invitation <3
Xiao : Oh please, he is so stiff at the contact as you were laying your head on his shoulder, taking a trip to dreamland. First of all, Xiao doesn't even know who you are. He saw you for the first time on this train. Seeing your packed bag, he assumed you were visiting someone in another city, but, where does you sleeping on his shoulder part came from? He is, not at all, moving. Staring straight on the empty seats in front of him, he's just wishing for you to wake up. Of course, he won't wake you up, if he really did then he won't miss his station which was literally the last one the train stopped at. He didn't know how to move. Bonus, you kept snuggling unconsciously on his shoulder because, it was comfyâ¨. You woke up to missing your station, which was apparently the second last station in the list. The train all empty, and mind you, you woke up to the Ticket Examiner calling you up since it was the last station and all passengers have gotten down except you two, you and Xiao. You looked at the guy beside you who had a frown on his face as he crossed his arm looking down not saying a word. 'Tsk' was all you heard. Well don't worry, you both took another train, this time, you were fully awake.
Zhongli : How long has it been since you fell asleep? Oh, well, you might not know but Zhongli does. It's been hell lot of time. But the man, as calm and collected he is, even when a random stranger is leaning on to his shoulder in deep slumber, he didn't react. Zhongli, understood how tired you might have been since you basically fell asleep on a stranger's shoulder. He didn't move an inch, just in case he wakes you up. Maybe the calm and collected man has lost some of his calmness, resulting in a flustered mess (still collected though mind you) when an old lady commented on both of you, "Such a lovely couple you both are. I had my time like this too, with my husband, before we both got married." Ok but, it would not be justice if I say you both, Zhongli and you, looked any less than a couple. God, date already <3. Ok facts aside, Zhongli did tell the old woman that you both were not dating, which he got a reply, "Oh, my apologies for assuming that. But, saying from experience, you both should give it a try if you both happen to be single, haha." Ok but that's facts. You woke up to see Zhongli, with red tint all over his cheeks. You immediately apologized for your doing. Don't be surprised if the next day you see the same man waiting for you in the train, keeping a seat for you.
note: might have lost creative brain juice for zhongli's part <\3

The word with C
Pairing: PLATONIC!!! Albedo & Homunculus!Child!Reader Description: You are Albedo's creation, yet you have his DNA. Will he ever see you as his child? Word count: 1433 Additional info: This is not meant to be romantic, but purely platonic bonding. Tagging @clouds-rambles & @deadlyboyy
You happily smiled at Albedo, kicking your legs as he examined you. It was the second time this week he took your measurements, checked your height, your weight, and just about everything you had. You were his pride, his magnum opus, his creation. A homunculi, a creature that looked so human one could believe you were one. But that was the problem, you weren't. Albedo had created you in his lab, and he was not even completely sure how he did it! It had been an accident, Albedo had been experimenting with his own DNA, trying to find a way to give vision abilities to people who didn't held them. Then Klee had barged into the lab, and before either he or Sucrose could react, one of her bombs went off. When the dust had settled, Albedo wanted to see if he could save any of the data he gathered. Instead, he had seen you, a human looking baby, laying on the floor. In a span of just three days, you had matured into what resembled a ten-year old. All while barely needing any nutrients or hydration.
âThat's itâ, he said, writing down some notes âYou can go now.â You nodded and hopped down from the table. Carefully, you approached Albedo, trying to hug him, but he pushed you away. ���I need to concentrate. Go play somewhere else or whatever.â He waved his hand, dismissing you. Your smile turned into a frown, and you scuffled out of the laboratory, sulking a bit. Sucrose watched, biting her lip. âYou shouldn't be so rude to themâ, she said, âThey are your child, after all. They want to be loved by you, and want your attention.â He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Her words were true, he knew that, but yet... As much as he loved children, he could not see you as one. Could not see you as his child. He was not even human himself, so how could he be a father? What could it mean if his secret were to get out to the masses, how would they treat him? How would they treat you? He did not dare to think about the possibilities, each scenario his mind tried to come up with was worse than the last. Albedo had never been this afraid before.
Because once he would start seeing you as his child, he would love you. You would become his world, his light, the center of his universe. Like any good father, he would want to protect you from everything bad, would want you to be happy and safe, would worry and fear for you. You would be his greatest weakness, the one place to hit that would hurt more than anything else ever would. No, it was better to keep seeing you as a creature, as his creation. As long as he kept a distance, it would not hurt should anything happen to you. If it did, and you wouldn't be saved, you would just be another failed experiment. Something he tried once and then never again, and would forget soon enough. And for you, it was the best as well, Albedo was sure of it. He was an alchemist, and Dragonspine was his home. The cold, uncaring mountains were no place for a child. While he could withstand the cold just fine, he had learned very quickly that you couldn't, not at all. And you deserved to have friends, Klee already being all over you. So truly, what kind of father could he be to you, if he visited the city so rarely? He would either be never there, or keep you from all the things that made you happy. It was for the best to keep his distance.
A hand on his shoulder brought him back into reality. Sucrose looked at him, her eyes full of emotions he could not name. âWhy don't you take a break for today and spent time with them?â, she suggested, a tiny smile on her lips. Albedo sighed again, shaking his head. âI can't. If I do, my creation will get used to my presence. I don't want thatâ, he said with a huff, focusing on his notes again. At least, he would, if Sucrose hadn't placed her hand on them. This time, he was met with daggers from her eyes when he looked up. âDo you not want them to get used to you? Or do you not want to get used to them? Who are you really thinking about here?â Her voice was cold as ice and sharp as steel. Albedo groaned, pushing her hands from his notes. âThis is not for you to care. Better watch over the experiments!â, he ordered her, staring her down. After a few more moments, she huffed, but turned away, allowing him to go back to his data.
---
The sun was setting already when he left the lab. The people in the streets walked quickly, scarfs and hats pulled deep into their faces. Winter was at the door, the temperatures already low. Not much longer and Mondstadt would be covered in snow, and the children would have snowball fights everywhere. He smiled at the idea of you being among them, happily laughing and having fun. A second later he shook his head. Keep distance, you were a creation, not a child. He could not let himself forget that. Klee ran up to him, a big smile on her face. âGood evening Mr. Albedo! Ready to go home?â, she asked, and giggled when he nodded. âI am. And you, Klee? On your way to keep Lady Jean on her toes or are you doing a slow evening?â Klee giggled, rocking back and forth on her heels. âI'm doing nothing for the rest of the day. Did [Y/N] bring you flowers?â Albedo blinked and tilted his head. Flowers? Why should you bring him flowers? âNo, they didn't. Why would they?â Now it was Klee's turn to blink, though it turned into a pout easily. âThey said you were angry at them, and that they wanted to cheer you up. So I told them to bring you flowers. Kaeya always brings the women he likes flowers, and they get happy. And then [Y/N] ran off and said they'd bring you the most pretty flowers in Dragonspine.â It took all but three seconds for the information to sink into Albedo's brain. You went to Dragonspine, alone, in this temperatures. You could be lost, you could be hurt, you could be dead. He was running before he knew it, the city flying past him. He needed to find you, and by Celestia, he needed you to be alive and well. His heart ached at the thought of not seeing you again, not being able to hear your voice again or never seeing you smile again. So much for keeping a distance.
He reached Dragonspine later than he wanted to, calling your name against the howling winds. With each passing second, your chances of survival were getting more slim, and the shiver he felt was not because of the cold. â[Y/N]!â, he called again, desperate for an answer. Tears burned in his eyes as he searched, your name echoing around every few seconds. Albedo prayed to Celestia for some kind of hint that would lead him to you, anything, he would take a miracle if he had to! âP-papa?â, a little voice called, and Albedo felt a boulder drop from his shoulders. He ran to the ledge the voice had come from, kneeling down and opening his arms. You stumbled out, your skin so cold and lips slightly blue. His heart clenched at the sight, and he pressed you as tight as he could against his body, hoping to warm you up a little bit. He thanked the Gods over and over on his way back to the city. You were alive, unharmed, and safe again. Safe in his arms, and he would not let you go. â'm sorry Papa, I couldn't find flowers for you. Please don't be madâ, you mumbled against his neck. Albedo inhaled shakily, hugging you closer. âIt's okay, my dear. I'm not mad at youâ, he promised. You sniffled a bit, your tiny hands clutching his shirt tighter. âIt was so cold and dark. I was so scaredâ, you admitted, hoping he wouldn't think bad about you. But he merely kissed your temple and forehead, gentle and reassuring. âIt's okay, you are safe now. Papa is here.â You had been his creation. But now, Albedo could only see you as his child.

how genshin characters would react to you have suicidal thoughts or self-harm thoughts
masterlist | 1k prompt masterlist | discord server
â
request for @ranbalsa <3 sorry this is so delayed, pls forgive me
â
content warning: this could be extremely triggering for some! there will be mentions of suicidal and self-harm thoughts as well as mentions of self-harm scars (national suicide prevention hotline:Â 800-273-8255)
â
characters included: beidou, fischl, lisa, jean, ningguang, kaeya, venti, albedo, zhongli, childe and diluc - these can be interpreted as platonic or romantic
beidou
if i had to choose one word to describe beidou, it would be caring
between the way people talk so highly about her in their voice lines to the little kids that like to play pirates and are always talking about how she gives them candy, itâs clear beidou is a very kindhearted person
so if you were having bad thoughts about hurting yourself, beidou would stop what she was doing and get you on her ship in no time
she figured that being out in the middle of the sea gave you no chance to actually hurt yourself + the waves and serenity were sure to calm you
she would spend the entire trip by your side, whispering how important you were to her and everyone back home and how foolish it would be if you took your own life
she would also get down to the root of the issue and try to give you as much advice as possible
beidou would finally sail back home once she decided you were stable again
fischl
i think fischl probably deals with some of these issues herself since her whole personality is based off a story book
but speaking of that, if you go to fischl in a state of panic i think she would sit you down on her bedroom floor and read you a book
her calming voice mixed with the distraction of a fairytale would help your breathing even out and you would ultimately forget about those thoughts you were having
if the story didnt help, then she would just talk to you about anything and everything
she might even invite bennett and razor over and four of you could make a little powow in her living room to make you feel better about yourself
lisa
even hearing you mention hurting yourself would send lisa into a âmotherly modeâÂ
she may not seem like it, but she cared deeply for everyone in mondstadt and never wanted anyone to hurt like that - especially you
like fischl, lisa would probably try distracting you with a book
she would take you into the library and pick out some novels or stories that would take your mind off your previous thoughts
she would sit with you and when you were ready, talk to you about why you were feeling the way you were and what she could do to help
sheâs a smart women and if thereâs one thing she understands more than anything, its you
jean
she panics
not on purpose, of course. but if jean walks in you harming yourself or hears you say something worrying, she would panic
she was never good in situations like this, afraid she would say the wrong thing and upset you more
but at the end of the day, jean was jean and she always smacked some sense into herself to properly help you through this bump in the road
jean would get down to the root of your issue and work her way out from there
to help you feel better, jean would order a pizza and let you indulge in it with her and after that, she would listen to you vent about what was making you upset
jean is also good at passing off tasks she knew she wouldnât be able to handle which means if jean thought she seriously couldnât help you, she would get someone who could
your wellbeing is more important than her pride
ningguang
she wouldnât understand at first
it would be a lie to say ningguang didnât live in a fantasy bubble sometimes
she cared about you, yes, but never experienced your pain before and had trouble grasping it right away
but once she did, she was very attentiveÂ
if you wanted medical help, ningguang would hire the best doctors in teyvat to help you through this
if you didnât, then ningguang would do her very best to console you
she would try to distract you with lavish gifts and expensive dinners and while it was nice being spoiled by her, it didnât make your problems go away
the last thing ningguang wanted was for you to hurt yourself so like jean, if she needed to bring in a professional to help, she would
kaeya
he would find out about your bad habit by walking in on you self harming
he was freaking out on the inside but stayed calm on the outside, coaxing you away from the blade and helping you clean up your wounds
you would be a nervous wreck for a while and kaeya would hold you in his arms
like jean, he would try and get to the root of the issue and find out why you were feelings these things
he loved you more than anything and he wouldnât know what he would do if you succeeded in taking your own life one day
on that day onwards, kaeya was determined to make you happy again
he puts your needs before his and does everything in his power to make sure youâre always okay
and if you relapse, kaeya never gets mad. he understands this is a hard cycle to break but heâs determined to help you through it
venti
he might be more upset than you
venti treated you like the archon in the relationship and when you revealed to him you were having suicidal thoughts, his world came crashing down
he blamed himself for a while and drank a lot more at dilucâs tavern but after a stern warning from diluc, venti realized this was doing nothing for either of you
he spent his days with you, walking you around mondstadt and showing you beautiful flowers and cool bugs
his goal was to show you the beauty of the world and convince you that taking your own life would prevent you from experiencing moreÂ
if you self harmed, venti would kiss your scars and make you bracelets made out of cecilia flowers to cover the marks
albedo
he would accidentally be insensitive, at least at first. your relationship was new to him and he was still trying to figure out all of his emotions so when you made a comment about suicide, he took it densely
he didnât understand why someone would want to kill themselves and told you that exactly
it was only after sucrose snapped at him and explained how you were feeling that albedo screwed his head on right
after apologizing, he would try his best to help you
he would create new potions that might help with your depression or other mental disorders and document your moods and feelings to help him understand what you were going through
it was difficult and sucrose added in a lot of support as well
zhongli
he noticed your self harm scars the minute you two got close but being the respectful man he is, he never pointed them out
he let you come to him and explain them yourself
if you pick up self harming later in your relationship, zhongli is quick to notice and take action
as aggravating as it was, zhongli hid all sharp objects in your apartment and took charge if you needed any of them for something
he made you promise to go to him if you were having thoughts of hurting yourself again
zhongli would make you tea infused with herbs to help worries and bring you relaxation and (in small amounts) happiness
he would take walks with you around liyue if you were having urges and let you cry into his chest in frustrationÂ
this was childeâs idea but if you needed to do something badly, zhongli would take you into an abandoned part of liyue and create fragile, thin rocks for you to smash onto the ground and satisfy that need
childe
having five siblings, he knew how to handle suicidal thoughts
his older sister went through a similar phase like you were now and childe would help you based on how he helped her
childe liked to wrap you in blankets so tightly you couldnât move, the pressure calming you down and usually causing you to fall asleep
he gives you so, so, so many compliments during this time. heâs so proud of you and so in love with your strength
he wants you to stay with him forever so heâs determined to get these thoughts out of your headÂ
if you attempt, childe will not leave your side
heâll stay with you throughout your infirmary visit and even when youâre discharged back home
heâs scared of loosing you
like ningguang, heâll shower you in gifts to make you feel specialÂ
diluc
like jean, he panics
he thinks itâs his fault somehow and you have to heartbreakingly explain that its not, that your brain is just wired differentlyÂ
diluc tries to keep you by his side at all times for a while
he takes you to work with him so you can sit at the bar or heâll have you walk around with him through the grape vines in the evening
you wake up more often than not to his strong arms around you and as annoying at it is, itâs comforting to know someone loves you this much
heâs afraid of loosing you like he lost his father
diluc was good at shutting down rumors as well. if you had scars, people would talk and diluc would give them one nasty glare and they would shut up
at the end of the day, he just wanted you to be okay

how they comfort you when youâre sad
ft. diluc, kaeya, venti, childe, zhongli, albedo, & xiao non-requested pieceÂ
diluc ragnvindr.Â
as stoic as diluc may be, heâs the most emotionally affected by your misery out of the others listed here, but heâs clueless in how to help. heâs not adept in everything despite being known for being a perfectionist and unfortunately, comforting you is one of them. he would reach out a hand to you, and then pull it back to his side before you notice. it annoys him greatly how he can insult the knights without hesitation and combat against his enemies confidently, and yet...
itâs easy to get diluc flustered over the simpler things in life. youâre usually so happy and lively, the light to his dark that he finds it almost eerie to see you looking depressed as you enter the tavern. you donât even spare him a glance, and slumps down at an empty seat, your head splayed down on the table. out of concern for your wellbeing, the winery owner whips up your favourite drink free of charge and delivers it himself to your spot. instead of leaving you as one would expect, he pulls up a chair and taps the wooden surface of the table with his gloved fingers, stirring you to look up at him. he greets you in a monotone voice unintentionally, and shyly asks if there are any problems going on in your life. he may not look like it, with how distant he is, but diluc would be very pleased to help you.Â
with hesitation, you take the drink and start taking small sips from the cup. the savory taste melts on your tongue and your lips quiver slightly. before you know it, youâre reduced into a sobbing mess, your tears staining the floor. âwhatâs wrong?â dismayed, diluc rises up and pats your back, handing you a handkerchief from his jacket pocket for you to wipe your tears away with.Â
he ushers you into a private room where nobody can see you and rubs your hands together. he doesn���t talk, instead fixating on calming you down. dabbing at your swollen eyes and cheeks gently with a drenched towel, diluc cradles your face and leans in close to you, your foreheads touching. âiâm here, [name],â his voice is soft and delicate, a sharp contrast to his formal and uninterested tone, âi will always be here for you, so you donât need to worry about suffering alone. weâll get through this together, alright?âÂ
kaeya alberich.Â
heâll take you to the tavern with him for a nice drink. it wonât do you any good to be by yourself and moping, right? as hypocritical as it may seem, kaeya is fully accepting of you coming to him for emotional support despite being rather closed-off when it comes to his personal emotions. if youâre underage, heâll purchase you a soft drink or juice, and if not, a glass of wine will surely boost your spirits up. his attempt to cheer you up is to temporarily distract you from it. quite clever of him, no? of course, his objective isnât for you to ignore your problems altogether, but to take your mind off of it until you can think a bit clearly.Â
kaeya will act like a gentleman the whole time, letting a few teasing remarks slip out every now and then, but his attitude is toned down for the most part. after you consumed a plentiful amount of beverages, he takes a stroll with you in the night, passing by a bard stringing music on their lyre. this gives the cavalry captain an idea and he takes you into a secluded area, fireflies glowing to add a touch of whimsy to the scenario. still gripping your hand, he raises it up to kiss the surface and proposes you to join him in for a dance under the moonlight and stars.Â
kaeya looks at you with a brimming grin. âare you feeling better now?â you nod, placing a hand on his open palm.
ânow that youâre here, yes, i am.â his smile broadens and cups your cheek with his free hand. the tip of his thumb lightly grazes your bottom lip before he replaces it with his lips. the kiss is passionate and savory, a description that fits your relationship perfectly.Â
âiâm glad you do,â he pulls back and breathes out a sigh of relief. âitâs the same with me. i admit, i also enjoy your company very much.âÂ
venti.
itâs best to let your emotions run loose. donât bottle it up, okay? if you need to cry, then cry. sure, venti may act all carefree and exuberant, but even he has his serious sides from time to time. he takes the situation rather calmly, pulling you into a comforting embrace and rubbing your back as you tearfully sob. when he feels that youâre muscles have slowly relaxed and your cries have been reduced to tiny sniffles, he transitions out of the hug and places his hands on your shoulder, all with an angelic smile on his face. see, that wasnât so bad, now was it?
if youâre up for it, venti will be happy to play you a quiet melody carried in the night breeze. heâll position your head to lean on his shoulder as both of you sit down on the ground and he clears his throat before he begins singing. the stringing of the lyre, the gentle rustle of the leaves in the background, and the soothing sound of his voice automatically brings a smile to your lips. snuggling closer to him, you drift in a state of contentment and serenity. once the bard catches wind of your heavy breathing, your eyes fluttered closed, he stops his singing and presses a dainty kiss to your forehead.Â
carefully, so he doesnât disturb your slumber, venti carries you back to your resident and tucks you into bed. as heâs about to head off, you snag him by the wrist, and tug him back to your side. âplease donât go yet, venti.â he pats the hand imprisoning his wrist and chuckles in amusement.Â
âdonât worry. i donât plan on ever doing something like that.â he crawls into bed with you, tangling your legs together and hooking his arms around your waist. the tip of his nose grazes your hair faintly as your back is pressed against his chest. ânot now, and not ever.âÂ
childe.
heâs the eleventh harbinger, yes, but beneath his fearsome title and mischievous demeanor, childe is a regular human with an affable heart. it hurts him seeing you look dejected, as if youâre on the brink of suffocating from insufferable pain. itâs like your emotions are a type of infection, contagious to say the least. if youâre happy, then heâs happy. if youâre sad, then youâll bet heâs also going to drop his jovial gleam. luckily, growing up with siblings gives him an advantage here. heâs used to taking care of others and turning their frowns upside down.Â
if he finds out someone has been upsetting you, heâll personally deal with them himself, ordering them to apologize lest they want to face his wrath. if youâre having financial difficulties, heâll lend you a generous amount of mora so you can clear your debts or help you find a well-paying job. either way, heâll cradle you in his arms and compliment you for being strong, no matter what life throws at you. lifeâs hard, but thatâs all the more reason why you should keep marching forward - hand in hand with childe. Â
âshh, [name], itâs okay. donât cry.â childe kneels before you and wipes away a salty tear. grabbing a teddy bear abandoned on the ground, he shoves it in front of your face. to your sudden bewilderment, he grabs the bearâs arm to pat you on the head and grins. âthere, there. mr. teddy is here to make you happy once more.âÂ
you sputter out a giggle despite tears still leaking from your eyes. âchilde, iâm not a little kid anymore. cut it out!â he resists the urge to pinch your cheeks when you pout cutely at him.Â
âfine, fine. iâll stop, but hey! at least youâre smiling again, right?â you roll your eyes and sniff.Â
âyeah, iâm feeling a little better. thank you.â Â
your comment forms a blush to dust his cheeks and he sheepishly scratches the back of his head. âthereâs no need for gratitude. to me, your smile is the one thing iâd hate to lose.âÂ
zhongli.
feeling sad? his arms are already wide open and a box of tissues is conveniently laid on the table. zhongli is the wave that laps up your sorrows and tears, the lulling sound of his voice uttering words of reassurance like a tranquil melody to set your heart at ease. heâs the type who will lend a shoulder for you to cry on. while he brews up a nice cup of tea to soothe your mind, he encourages you gently to tell him whatever it is thatâs bothering you. he soaks up every syllable that falls from your lips like a sponge and in a pensive state, he gives you advice in turn.Â
you take his words to heart, since everything heâs said before have always been genuine and your trust in him runs deeper than the bottom of the sea. sure, maybe not everything he says is the answer that will cause your problems disappear, but he does guide you to choose rationally how you want to approach it. as much as zhongli would like to solve everything for you, heâs aware that there are times where only you have the potential to fix the issue.Â
the golden ginkgo leaves twirl in the autumn breeze, as zhongli clasps his hands with yours. you adjust the scarf around your neck, shivering from the mild chill settling in liyue.Â
you stare grimly at the seagulls soaring in the cloudy sky, and peers down at your feet planted firmly on the ground. a frown tugs on your lips and you sigh. a warm hand caresses your cheek and you look towards zhongli smiling gently in your direction. wiping away the tears that are beginning to moist your eyes, he encages you in a comforting hug.Â
âdonât hold it in,â zhongli whispers soothingly in your ear, âyouâre allowed to cry if you want. i promise you, thereâs no judgement.âÂ
albedo.
itâs like he has a sixth sense. you could have been crying in your sleep last night and the first thing you wake up to is all your favourite meals placed rigorously on a sliver tray and a positive message with cursive, neat handwriting scribbled on a notepad for you to read. albedo is rather considerate, like that. before you started to live together and entered a more domestic relationship, he visited your home and asked if anything was wrong in a neutral tone that belied his concern. you were shocked how he could have possibly known since you were sure you concealed the visible evidences skillfully with makeup, and you looked quite normal for the most part, as if you hadnât been crying mere seconds before he knocked on your door.Â
he shrugs indifferently and responds that he just has a feeling somethingâs bothering you. albedo will take a day off from his confinement in his lab so he can stay with you. he takes you by the hand and gestures for you to sit down on a nearby chair beside him, offering you delectable appetites to eat while you rant to him. once youâre finished spilling out your problems, he kisses you on the forehead and tells you that you did a good job. it isnât easy to admit youâre not mentally well, in which he praises you for.Â
hugging your legs to your chest, you quietly ask him if itâs not a bother. firmly, albedo shakes his head and squeezes your hand reassuringly. âno, youâre never a bother.â he scoops up a spoonful of ice cream and feeds you the cool dessert. once you swallow, his lips curve into a little smirk as he wipes away the excess on the side of your mouth with a finger and licks the cream off with his tongue.Â
âwhether youâre happy, sad, or disappointed, my love for you will never change.âÂ
xiao.
heâs not very good at handling these types of situations. xiao can never know what heâs supposed to say or do to make you feel better, so he just stands there awkwardly. please donât blame him! heâs already terrible at consoling himself that having to cheer someone else up seems more like an impossible challenge than a simple task. however, like albedo, he can also sense if youâre depressed or in need of saving. what do you mortals call it, an instinct?Â
he asks verr for advice on what to do to help, and she suggests for him to stick by your side and show that he cares deeply about you. it takes xiao a while to come up with a suitable plan. he wanders up to the highest floor of wangshu inn and reminisces over the past. your first meeting with him, the time when you gave him almond tofu, and when you both fought together to protect liyue - heâs memorized it all down to the last detail. suddenly, an idea clicks into place and he teleports immediately to where you are. sitting on a bench alone, while you absentmindedly watch the birds peck at the crumbs scattered on the cement floor, it takes you by surprise when you find xiao hovering above you. he reaches out his hand and composedly asks if you would be willing to accompany him for the night.Â
when you encounter him at the location where you agreed to meet, you curiously question xiao what he wants to do, but he doesnât reply. instead, he scoops you up in his arms, a surprised expression on your face as you wrap your arms around his neck so you donât end up falling. before you know it, both of you are... soaring in the air? your eyes subconsciously drift to his vision glowing brightly in the murky night. so heâs using his anemo abilities to create wind currents and literally sweep you off your feet.Â
âdo you see this place?â he gestures with his head for you to look at liyue harbor. the city lights glow in the darkness and most people are walking back home, idly chatting with each other and giggling. âit wouldnât be as peaceful as it is now if it werenât for you. so if you ever feel sad again, know that itâs you who puts a smile on everyoneâs faces - including mine.âÂ
and with that, xiao smiles serenely at you, to which you finally offer a grin of your own.Â

Hi Dani! May I request some blurbs for Kaeya, Beidou, Albedo, and Jean (separately) having an s/o who, despite having a heart of gold, doesnât have two brain cells to rub together? They forget/lose things, ask obvious questions, or just sort of do things without thinking. Theyâre kind and brave and all that, theyâre just kind of square-brained a lot of the time. Thanks, and have a lovely day!
i have no idea what to title this but i loved this idea
includes: kaeya, beidou, albedo, and jean
kaeya
tbh kaeya loves your⌠not-so-bright moments
he honestly finds them adorable
especially because when he first met you, he thought your personality was more on the serious side
he couldnât be more wrong
whenever youâre having a moment he just sits back and enjoys the show, watching as you figure out your own problem
âwait!â you yell, stopping in your tracks.
kaeya does the same and turns to look at you. âwhat? you okay?â
âyeah, i just⌠i forgot my map.â you sigh, shoulders dropping in defeat. âi told you i would bring it and i forgot! we canât go on this mission without it or weâll be completely lost,â you explain.
a grin appears on kaeyaâs face, and he crosses his arms. âare you sure?â
you furrow your eyebrows. âof course iâm sure! if i had it with me, iâd be looking at it right now!â
âdo you remember right before we left when we stopped to talk to bennett?â kaeya asks.
you pause to think. âyeah⌠but what does that have to do with my map?â
âretrace your steps, love.â
you and kaeya were headings towards the entrance gates when you were stopped by the young adventurer, asking where you guys were going. you told him where, and let him join until he was pulled aside by another adventurer. he was told that some if the older guys were having arthritis problems again, so you and kaeya left without him.
âi still donât⌠oh!â you reached into your back pocket and retrieved your map. âgot it!â
beidou
tbh she doesnât really notice if you ask obvious questions or ask her if sheâs seen the book youâre holding in her hands
she finds it kind of endearing
and she doesnât blame you for getting confused easily, youâre a very busy person after all
youâre so busy all the time sheâs impressed you can even keep your head on straight
it wasnât until you joined her on her ship that she started to think you didnât have it on straight
beidou was more than excited to bring you onto her ship and introduce you to her crew. she just wasnât really expecting to have to babysit you the whole time.
âdo you guys have fishing rods? i can try to catch a fish for dinner!â you say excitedly, looking out to the sea.
âwhat? no,â beidou steps closer to you. âyou canât fish while weâre moving. you wonât catch anything.â she says, putting an arm around you. âi appreciate the sentiment though.â
later, when a storm started to brew, she had to drag you off the deck.
âno, let me stay!â you whine, trying to pull your hand out of her grasp. âsomeone has to look after the ship!â
âyeah, the people qualified for the job can do that, babe. i donât need you getting struck by lightningâŚâ she sighs.
she might be more aware of your silly questions not that it involves her area of expertise, but sheâll glare at anyone who looks at you funny.
âwoah⌠are you gonna make him walk the plank?â you ask beidou after she practically shoots daggers at a crewmate with her eyes.
âthe plank? no, thatâs just a myth. thereâs no plank walking here,â beidou replies, laughing.
albedo
donât get him wrong
he absolutely loves you
but having you in his lab makes him a nervous wreck
he trusts your judgement for the most part
but his experiments are very tedious
and tedious is not really your forte
âoh, so i just pour this in here, right?â you ask, tilting a vial.
ân-no!â albedo, panicked, grabs it to stop the liquid from pouring out. ânot this one. this one,â he says, giving you a different vial with blue liquid in it.
âright, rightâŚâ you say.
âpour it slowlyââ albedo sighs as you dump the liquid into the container in front of you.
you look at him, and then back down at the liquid. âsorry.â
he smiles. âitâs fine. nothing exploded, right? so weâre okay.â
you bite your lip, thinking. you set down the vial. âmaybe this is better as a one-man-job,â you tell him with a sigh. âi think iâm doing more harm than good here.â
âno, no, no,â albedo grabs your hand. âitâs fine. youâre doing great! you just need to⌠uh, listen⌠a bit more. iâm just worried for your safety,â he says.
âright⌠i should pay more attention. this stuff is serious.â you grab the vial you were holding before. âis it time to add this one yet?â
albedo smiles. âunfortunately, no. that one isnât even being added to this concoction.â
jean
jean loves and respects you very much
but whenever you go out adventuring
here anxiety skyrockets
she know youâre strong but
acting without thinking is a big problem of yours
so you usually arrive back home hurt every time
although to you, it isnât that big of a deal
she was returning to her office after practically being dragged to the church to get treated for a headache that had lasted days when she saw you making your way there yourself, covered in scratches and bruises.
âoh my god! what happened?â she asks, putting her hands on your shoulders. âare you okay?â
you grin. âoh, iâm fine! donât worry about me, jean.â
âbut youâre all⌠beaten up! i shouldnât keep you here⌠you should go get patched up.â she says.
âjean, really, iâm fine!â you tell her, grabbing her hand to keep her from walking away. âiâm just coming here so people donât yell at me to get treated⌠it doesnât hurt.â
âare you sure? youâre gonna be so sore tomorrow,â she points out.
âmmm, probably,â you say with a shrug. âbut at least there is a tomorrow, right?â
her gaze finally softens. âalright. but⌠i do want to stay with you while you get bandaged up.â

reader impact || first meeting
series masterlist characters: xiao, albedo genre: fluff summary: a game has been released entitled genshin impact, consisting of otherworldly abilities relying on the basic elements of nature. the game follows the story of an interdimensional traveling twin in search of their other half. along this journey, they meet different characters that live in this world. including you. notes: have i read a few genshin impact x game character reader stories and impulsively decided to make one too? maybe. you can't prove anything. i don't know if this will be a series but we'll see :D
xiao's playthrough -
xiao, named as alatus on his streaming platform, has made himself known as a gaming streamer with an awkward personality and blunt words.
he's the type of streamer who wouldn't have a set type of game and would, instead, play whatever his viewers recommended.
valorant? sure, he'll try it out.
hitman? why not?
animal crossing? it's a complete 180 from the other games, but sure.
when one of his viewers recommended genshin impact, he was quick to say yes and search for the game.
once the game finishes downloading, he quickly begins the game.
once the opening cutscene passes, he compliments the overall aesthetic of the game, pointing out the smaller details such as the footprints made by his character and the sound their clothes make when they move.
as always, his expressions are quite monotone to a point where it seems nothing draws his attention towards the game.
one of his mods, however, knows xiao well enough to where he knows which character he would like.
they convince xiao that the game is worth sticking with towards the second half of chapter 1, act 1.
he doesn't understand but he trusts his mods so he promises to continue.
it takes a few hours, especially because of the grinding, but a few streams later he's finally made it.
after fighting a one-sided argument with cloud retainer, he immediately begins his trek to the wangshu inn. and yes, trek, he enjoys walking/gliding through the world of teyvat rather than fast traveling everywhere.
he walks up the stairs to the top floor of the inn, resting his hands in his lap as the cutscene begins.
"to the blind, everything may not be as it appears..."
xiao is normally stoic during games, even ones with scenes made to fluster the player and catch them off guard.
but not this time.
once xiao's character is faced with yours, he just stops. his chat is spamming messages, asking if he's okay and if he's actually emoting for once.
he just stares at your character for a good five minutes.
and trust me, at least half of his viewers clipped that.
"... who are they?"
that was his only question after those minutes of silence. never before had he been attached to a character within the first few minutes of meeting them. his mind is racing and all he can think about is how amazing your character design is and how nice your voice is and how cool your character is and--
oh right, he's streaming right now...
anyway, the more your conversation goes on, the more he loves your character.
you're just so sassy and snappy but he loves you either way.
once you turn away with your back towards the camera, he just stares.
he stares at the intricate tattoo on your exposed arm and the mask hanging off of your belt.
and then you're gone.
his face drops so quickly and his viewers are very quick to point it out. he grimaces once paimon starts talking and he's very tempted to just speed through her dialogue.
he just wants to see you again.
once he hears from verr goldet that you've never smiled (at least around her), he immediately turns to the camera and says, "we better make them smile in this game."
once he finds out about your favorite food, he's already asking his viewers if he's able to get the recipe for it.
the next time he gets to talk to you, his face just lights up once he sees your character standing on the balcony.
however, once his characters tell you about rex lapis's death, his heart sinks when he hears how sad your voice becomes, even if your tone is still as harsh as before.
he gets all sad again when the quest ends and he has to wait to unlock the next archon quest.
he ends the game there and decides to spend the last few minutes talking to his viewers.
"i'll stream genshin again soon."
his viewers all know it's only because he met you.
albedo's playthrough -
albedo often does art streams and the occasional science-y stream.
if he does games, he mainly uses them to admire the art/mechanics of the gameplay.
genshin impact was one of those games he decided to play on his own solely because of the beautiful scenary.
(and the opportunity to draw more characters).
he's definitely the player that cares about elemental reactions above all else. pretty much every character he uses is built for elemental damage instead of physical.
most of his genshin streams are him walking around teyvat and pointing out the scenary.
he was definitely excited for the dragonspine event because that meant a better view of teyvat!
what he wasn't prepared for, however, was the reveal of a new character: you.
he isn't too into looking at the updates for genshin on his own, so he didn't find out about who you were until his stream asked about it.
he decided to react to the newest updates live since his chat seemed excited to hear his input.
once he pulled up the latest update details, he spent a few minutes talking about the new subzero mechanic.
but once he scrolled down to the characters... OH BOY
he's able to keep his composure but he definitely spends longer talking about you.
he almost gasped when he saw you were the chief alchemist of mondstadt.
combine that with the fact that you rely on elemental damage instead of physical...
your honor, he's fallen hard.
he'll put a countdown on stream to when your character and event drops, even on his non-genshin streams.
speaking of those streams, on the week just before your event, his streams will all be based around you and the information he's seen on you.
his art streams will consist of you and how he thinks your attacks will work just based on the description (he purposely avoided all pictures of your attacks for this stream).
his science-y streams would probably be based on your element.
once your event drops, that's the only thing he'll stream until it's over.
your assistant used to be his favorite character to play as but they just never clicked. it's not like he hates your assistant, it's just he didn't immediately fall in love with them.
his party definitely has your assistant in it, though.
he would have normally taken his time to look around dragonspine and admire the new scenery, but he couldn't help but speed through it until he finally gets to see you onscreen.
once the cutscene officially introduces you in front of a canvas, he's internally panicking.
you like art too?! and science?! how perfect can you be?!?!?!
he will genuinely feel bad when he scares the hilichurls because he knows that that's what you were sketching.
"who are you? why did you alarm them?"
NOW HE FEELS EVEN WORSE
even when you tell him you've finished sketching, he wants to make it up to you :((
if he were able to, he would've lured more hilichurls to let you sketch more.
some people in his chat would probably spam him to skip your dialogue because it's so wordy, but that's the exact reason why he listens to it all.
he likes listening to your character ramble on, especially because you have a soothing voice.
anytime your character does their idle animation where you give life to something, he will always let it play. even if your dialogue is finished before the animation, he would not progress until it's completed.
once your character asks for help, he would immediately agree before you finished your sentence.
man just wants to spend more time with you.
he likes staring at the tattoo on your neck whenever the camera is close to you. he just thinks it's really pretty on you.
once your other nonplayable assistant begins talking, he'll skip through the dialogue. he doesn't care if it goes more in depth into this world's alchemy, he just wants to hear it from you.
"hmm, looks like the potion's ready. i'll try a little first."
"please don't..."
he doesn't want you to try it just in case it hurts you :(
anytime he is allowed to walk freely with you around, he'd definitely put his traveler character next to you for a few minutes and just let you two stare at each other.
someone asks him why he spends a few minutes doodling on his desk when you talk.
he shows them the notebook that he had been writing notes in. it's filled with little doodles of you and some more information you give on the world of alchemy.
for future streams the involve you, he'd set up another camera to show the notes and doodles he's making about you.
sometimes he'll spend a few minutes on a single section where the camera is focused on you just to recreate the picture in the notebook.
he absolutely loves whoever planned out the camera angles because of how cute you look in every one of them.
he definitely gets a bad vibe from rosaria when she hints at the fact that you may be using alchemy against him.
he will defend you and alchemy to his grave!
that one scene where you create a flower in front of you is one he will always treasure.
he makes sure someone clipped that moment just so he can draw that, make it a print, and put it on his wall.
since most of his viewers most likely consist of artists, he will encourage them to draw you and send him fanart. he will put them all on a wall and dedicate every picture that goes there to you.
"if i one day lose control... destroy mondstadt... as well as everything around it..."
"huh?"
"will you be there to stop me?"
"wait... no."
if people were only listening to that portion, they would still be able to hear the pout on his face.
he'll end the game there but change his stream into an impromptu art stream.
he will only be drawing you in nice situations to distract himself from the fact that there is something going on with you.
"hm? what do you mean something's wrong with (name)? i have no idea what you're talking about."
poor boy's in denial...

how they kiss
characters: albedo, xiao, zhongli
notes: pure pure pure self indulgence haha i love writing kisses and now itâs everyone elseâs problem @citrussaurusâ @peachy-queen15â i finally caved are u proud of meÂ
part two of the multifandom kissing headcanon series :) lmk ur thoughts if u enjoyed!Â
ALBEDO
curiously. you can feel it in the way he shifts against your touch, leaning in and backing away as easily as the tides rise and fall. heâs constantly adapting, changing to better fit the present situation. donât mistake this as hesitance, though. this is uncharted territory for the both of you, and heâs simply gathering information the best way he knows how. an experiment. the way you lightly gasp when his tongue accidentally swipes against your bottom lip--he remembers it; files it away in his mind for later. it works in the beginning, until you do something that makes his breath catch in his throat. (what, exactly? he...canât exactly recall, and thatâs the problem.) all he knows is that suddenly his cheeks are flushed and his heart is hammering like heâs just run a marathon, every sense of cohesion in his usually organized thoughts spiraling out of control. an unexpected variable, he thinks hazily to himself, cupping the back of your head to guide you to a better angle. in any other of his experiments, the appearance of such a factor would be less than ideal. but here, right now, he doesnât quite mind.
XIAO
desire? he feels no desire. at least, thatâs what he tells himself as he almost goes cross eyed in his attempt to put you in his field of vison. youâre close, closer than heâs ever allowed anyone before that lived to tell the tale. it had taken every ounce of his willpower not to shove you away as soon as you had begun to lean in, and even more once your mouth connected with his, the very same one that had devoured dreams and dealt with death as long as he could remember. but still, he canât fully bring himself to pull away now. you fool, he thinks, though whether that was directed at himself or at you, heâs not sure. donât you know that associating with him will bring you nothing but regret? despite it all, you stay, eyes patiently shut as you stand in front of him, the two of you connected only by a kiss. how far he must have fallen, to the point he finds himself participating in pointless mortal customs such as...this. though, thereâs nothing pointless about how the corner of your mouth turns up at the fact he hasnât rejected you just yet, or the way your heartbeat flutters as he begins to press back. heâs attuned to each and every action your body performs, and perhaps he can feel his own heart rate increasing as well, to the point it almost becomes impossible to deny any longer. he wants you.Â
ZHONGLI
slowly. the seconds and minutes blend together in the warmth of his body on yours, but time is irrelevant to a being such as he. (by association, you decide itâs irrelevant to you as well.) heâs always been known for his almost inhuman memory, but as his soft lips move gently against yours, savoring the way you taste and quietly mumble his name against his mouth, hands tightening on the lapels of his coat, he realizes this is one memory he canât afford to lose. heâs kissed you a hundred times, and heâll kiss you a thousand more if it means constantly refining the image of you in his mind to perfection, beautiful and glowing like the finest piece of cor lapis heâs ever seen. his lips chase after you even as you pull away briefly for air, a breathless laugh escaping you in the process. this is the contract of your love, sealed with a kiss for every day heâs loved you.

dad/pregnancy headcanons
because i love dilfs <3
feat. childe & albedo
warnings: pregnancy
(afab reader)
when you first told childe you were pregnant, you were convinced he was going to explode from joy. he didn't believe you when you first told him
"there's really a baby in there?"
"yes, childe."
"...really?"
que death stare
he would be beyond helpful during your pregnancy. need to grab something? just stay put and he'll bring it to you. craving mac & cheese with pickles at the ass crack of dawn? he's already in the kitchen. he really just wants you to be as comfortable as you can be. he knows how to deal with your mood swings quite well (he grew up with quite a few siblings) and you always feel bad afterward but childe assures you that it's no big deal. as helpful as your loving husband is, you do get quite bored just sitting down all day and doing nothing. (this man wouldn't even let you cook for the first 3 months of your pregnancy. he claimed your belly getting too close to the stove would cook the baby.) so you convince him to accompany you on evening walks around your neighborhood. he was cautious at first of course. he's a fatui harbinger and anyone finding out about his pregnant wife would be bad news. but he gives in with a little convincing. overall, your pregnancy was quite the breeze.
childe would be the best dad. he's always wanted a big loving family and now his dream is slowly becoming a reality. the first time he held his baby was the best day of his life. the way his son wrapped his little delicate hand around childe's finger was the day he knew that he had a new person to care for. to love, cherish, and support. with all of the overwhelming love for his son, the dangers and fear lurked at the back of his mind. he was a fatui harbinger. it's funny how hands that have killed and slaughtered so much, are now holding something as precious and innocent as a new life. protecting you and his beloved son was now his number one priority.
he would hold his child over his shoulders all the time. he claims "the view is better when you can see everything!"
secretly spoiling the kid. i mean, come on. his pockets run very deep. who would he spend it on if not his own child?
"y/n, when can we have more babies? i mean look at this cutie! we do make cute kids don't you think?"
"you know, making babies is the fun part and i wouldn't mind-" oh look, a flying pillow heading straight for childe
once your son is older, childe will teach him combat. enough for him to protect himself
you and childe both agree that not telling your son about childe's real job is for the best. well at least until he's a bit older.
childe would make the sweetest, most fun, and caring dad <3
when you found out you were pregnant, you thought it was impossible. albedo had specifically told you that he couldn't procreate, so what was happening? you told albedo and he was just as confused as you. a week after being okay with it, you were both very happy. albedo called your unborn childe a miracle baby. for the first few months of your pregnancy, he would always rub your tummy. you could be cuddling on the couch and he would mindlessly be massaging and rubbing your baby bump gently. at night when he was sure you were asleep, he would talk to your stomach and plant gentle kisses on your exposed skin. "i love you very much. you're just going to be the cutest little thing, arent you? klee can't wait to play with you." you were sure your heart had exploded. but unlike childe, albedo wouldn't be the best with your mood swings. he would try his best to understand them, but it's just too much for the poor lad. you of course would apologize for your bursts of emotions but he assures you with a bunch of kisses that it's alright and you should just worry about your health. after that, albedo would busy himself with books, trying to understand as much as he could about pregnancy.
"hey y/n, did you know that babies cry in the womb?"
"albedo what the fuck."
sweet boy would do the absolute most for you during all of your trimesters.
albedo was in absolute awe when he first held your baby in his arms. wow, we really created this little little life, he would think. albedo was determined to find the meaning of life, it was surreal that he had helped create one. he kissed his baby gently on the forehead as they slept. they had his blonde hair, but your nose. he very much loved that. albedo doesn't know the first thing about being a father, but for his little baby, he would try.
albedo would a better father than he thought he would
you, of course, had no doubt
albedo would always listen to his child's stories and show them cool (and very safe) experiments in his lab
klee loved to spend time with your baby. she claims that she's practically gained a new sibling that she can play with!
albedo would listen to all of the babbles and endless nothingness of your baby like it was the most interesting thing in the world
he would also take notes of your baby. for research purposes he claims (wouldn't be albedo without some science)
once your child is old enough, he will allow them to come help in the lab with very minor tasks
while albedo is learning to be a father on the journey, he undoubtedly is doing a very well job

Here's the other: How'd they react to their S/O who cherishes their gift given by their beloved so much, that one day the gift was destroyed by a hilichurl and they went so livid they practically fought the creatures to death and threw them to a lake somewhere, and sulked the whole how they don't deserve them anymore cuz of how careless they were. For Razor, Albedo and Xiao đđ
đ
đđđđđđđđ: razor, albedo, xiao (separate) x gn!reader
đđđđđđđđ: not proofread, mc is referenced as an alchemist/adventurer in albedoâs, one swear word in xiaoâs
đđđđđ: im EMBARRASSED at how long this is and how MEANINGLESS THE WRITING IS IM SO SORRYÂ
he made you a paw-shaped clay sculpture!
it was cute and small, fitting right into the palm of your hands
to othersâit may look like some worn-down toy, but to you, it was a good luck charm from the ever-cute razor
but perhaps, it wasnât quite the clay-shape that you held close to your heart... no, it was the strenuous effort razor put into sculpting the paw
you remember it vividly. how the boy would dig his hands into mud and sit under the burning sun, carving the dirt with his bare fingers as he hid the gift from your sight
so when a good-for-nothing hilichurl decides razorâs paw-shape charm was a nice pebble for hot potato... boy were you livid
Patting the ground beside you, [e/c] eyes widened upon the feeling of nothing but grass.
What...? Peering over, you stared blankly at the empty space, comical arrows pointing at the now-gone charm you had received from Razor. Just where was it? You swore it was right beside you...
And as if Barbatos were laughing at you, the wind blew, burning your eyes as the sight of mitachurls and hilichurls danced around the fire in the distance, tossing what looked like a rock into the air.
Ah.Â
You blinked.
That was the charm Razor made.
first of all... how did the hilichurl get it? the charm was literally right beside you!
agh, whatever.
youâll just retrieve it. easy, right?
no.
first of all, your power would literally turn the lush grass into a desolate canyon (not really). second of all, youâd probably end up destroying the paw in your rampage
hah...
âif the hilichurl didnât destroy it first
Materializing your weapon, you couldnât help but hope that the paw had miraculously survived the impact of a hilichurl throwing it against the floor.
Hah, what were you thinking? Of course it didnât... physics just didnât allow it.
But you know what physics did allow? Why, beating these enemies to a pulp, of course!
once you floored the hilichurls, you quickly scrambled as to look for signs of the paw anywhere
berating yourself as to how utterly foolish you were for letting it go and leaving it unguarded in the first place, you stared in defeat at the sight of crumbled clay and hardened dirt in the grass of the hilichurl camp
why? why were you so careless? seriously, how did this happen? if you had just kept it in your backpack like a regular person, razorâs hard-earned hours and craft would still be as grand as ever-
â[y/n]?â
Blinking, you hadnât realized you had been sulking in the midst of this hilichurl camp. [E/C] eyes lifted up, widening once they had landed on none other than Razor, his crimson eyes like the agates that littered Dragonspine, his hair as grey as stormclouds.
âAh... Razor...â You smiled in exasperation, staring at anywhere but said boy. How could you face him after watching his clay paw get destroyed by some measly hilichurls?
âAre you okay?â He asked, glancing around at the scene before him. The grass wilted, the camp that he remembered being obnoxiously loud and disturbing was silent and empty.
âYeah, no biggie,â Waving off his concern, you began to walk away, your heart sinking with each step.
First, you let his gift get destroyed. Second, you walk away from him.
You were such a terrible partnâ
â[Y/N]?â Razorâs voice cut through the air, a tension you had created solely on the thoughts of your own mind. Gripping your wrist with a tender touch, you didnât fail to notice the way his eyes drooped down ever so slightly.
âDid I... make lupical mad?â
Gulping, you quickly waved your hands in front of your face, eyes widened as you tried to carefully explain the series of events that had just led down to this very moment.
âIâwell, you see, your uh, paw-clay-thingy... I was careless and Iââ
âBreak it while hunting?â Razor answered, tilting his head as his hold merely stayed still, not wavering for a second, as if you were a boar in his hands.
âAh...âÂ
Razor was much better at observation than you had thought.
âItâs okay. I make more for lupical,â Razor nodded, already beginning to pace over to a pond as he dipped his gloved hands into the water, wafting around for dirt as you rushed up behind him.
âWait! But I was careless... you donât need to make anoââ
âItâs for lupical. Lupical close, I give lupical gift that never break.â
Everlastingâthat was what he wanted to make.
And a part of you couldnât help but agree.
albedo, in all of his alchemy prowess, made you an artificial flower
how? donât ask him. heâll spew some lengthy thesis and paragraph about the fundamentals, the research, the prototype, the testing, theâ
ahem, anyways!
you had never intended to bring it outside. but one day, you had left your camp under the supervision of barbatos (wow go barbatos) and ventured off to fetch some materials
and when you came back? you were met with the sight of hilichurls and slimes raving around your tent
what theâ
âI...Iâm hallucinating,â You deadpanned, slapping your wrist at the sight of pyro slimes and masked hilichurls dancing around your tent, the inside of your humble abode moving around as if it were possessed.
And the cherry on top? A pyro abyss mage emerged, the flower floating besides it. But oh boy, it was no flower anymore... it was a flaming flower.
At that moment, you were left to ponder. Maybe, just maybe, you kinned a whopperflower at that point. Because oh boy did your temper and sanity explode on those little enemies, the way your blade sunk into their formsâ
you were already planning your apology to albedo. he trusted you and loved you enough to make an artificial flower for you... and yet, it so pitifully crumbled at your touch
okay, not quite your touch. but it crumbled at the ugly pyro abyss mageâs touch
so, as any good s/o would do, you sulked while rebuilding your camp. itâs okay. as long as albedo didnât know his creation was charred, all would be well. besides! he was quite a busy man! chances were low that heâd discover!
busy, he was, observant, he is
perhaps, you shouldâve known
âAh... hi Albedo,â You winced, opening your tent to smile at the alchemist who merely stared at you.
âYou were gone for a while. Is everything okay?â He noted, remembering your absence from visiting his own camp at Dragonspine. As an alchemist, he knew what it was like being holed up in a camp. But for two weeks? Even he needed breaks.
âWell, you see... I was out... gathering materials! Yes!â You gave him a weak thumbs-up, wailing internally once his piercing azure eyes trailed around your camp, noting that nothing looked new.Â
 âYou donât need to lie to me, [Y/N]. Is something the matter?â
âIâm sorry!â You cut off, clapping your hands together in a prayer-like position, guilt welling up in the pit of your stomach.
â...Why?â
âYour flowerâI left it unsupervised and it was set aflame and Iâm so so so sorââ
âDonât be.â
Mouth dropping, you stared up at the male, an amused expression painting his face like the canvases he dedicated to you.
âAt least you were not hurt while it was set aflame. Come, Iâll show you how to make some more,â Opening your tent for you all the way, Albedo held a hand out to you, eyes flickering in mirth.
âAnd next time, donât try to run away from your problems.â
âYou cheeky littlââ A blush of both embarrassment and fluster formed on your face, shocked at his sudden remark.
he made you an adepti amulet
enhanced with super-cool-adepti-no-mortal-can-have power, xiao had informed you that all you needed to do was hold up the amulet and itâd scare any kind of enemies away!
cool, right? too bad you left it unattended while fighting the irritable anemo cube! now itâs at the bottom of the sea <3
how did this happen, exactly? well... you see... when wind picks up and becomes strong... light-weight objects will fly up into the air!
and sometimes, those light weight objects will fall into the sea, and sometimes, those objects would be gifts from your adeptus boyfriend who was waiting for you back at wangshu innâ
ahem. anyways. you beat the crap out of the anemo cube (aka, beth. aka, tornado cube. aka, cube waifu)
I should just... not go back to Wangshu Inn today. Haha... Iâll go ask Katheryne for a commission... You nodded, stuffing the turquoise shards of wind into your pockets, your bags filled with mora and enhancement ores being thrown off the side of the cliff.
âAlong with the adepti amulet Xiao had made for you.
Seriously... you still had to wonder just how that happened! One second, you were avoiding getting sucked up by the vent of the anemo cube... and the next, your bag was traveling the world!
Canât have shit in Teyvaâ
Trekking back to Mondstadt in defeat, you were innocently oblivious to the worry of the Yaksha back in Liyue.
are they okay? do they need help? did they go to dragonspine? all these questions spun around xiaoâs head as he watched the moon rise, his mask dissipating into the wind
you told him youâd return tonight... yet you hadnât. and a part of him had wished you hadnât left liyue, so he had at least some control over whatever dangers dared to attack you
but, he knew you were strong. why else would he love you, anyway? he does not find appeal in being the savior 24/7
so, he waits. atop the balcony of wangshu inn, across the stars and moon, he prays to his archon, wishingâno, hoping you arrive safely
Andâyou did. You arrived back at Wangshu Inn.
... Three weeks later.
âYouâre late. Very late,â Xiaoâs voice blared in your ears, a blessing and a curse all at the same time. You didnât know how to tell him the amulet was thrown off a cliffâbut at the same time, you really wanted to run your fingers through his hair.
âHaha... sorry about that,â You laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of your head as Xiao merely grumbled, appearing before you with a piercing stare.
âWhere were you? You did not even send me a letter.â
âIâm sorry... itâs just... eh... well...â You looked away, your heart churning against your ribs as Xiao extended his index finger out, tilting your chin to face him.
âWhat?â He asked, his tone harsh yet soft, longing yet logical.
âI uh... kind of... lost your adepti amulet... Iâm sorry.â
He blinked.
âYou waited three weeks to tell me that?â He asked in disbelief, almost in disappointment. Seriously, he was an adeptus! A Yaksha, at that! He couldâve just made another one for you... But nooo... you decided to wait three weeks in the land of the free (America?) and then worry him to death.
âMortals...â Xiao muttered under his breath, crossing his arms with a huff as he turned his head away, the wind picking up.
âHey, wait! Arenât you going to say anything? Like a disappointed lecture or something?â
âNo.â
Disappearing, you facepalmed, already pulling out some sweetflowers and milk to whip up some almond tofu.
Damn that adeptus. Who was he to tug your heartstrings like that?
You sighed, sitting beside a cooking pot as lingering yellow eyes watched your form, their irises softening at the sight.
â constellations! đŤ

Beach Days with The Genshin Characters!
Wc: 1.7k+
Type: Headcanons
CW: umm nothing except mentions of alcohol and maybe people being creeps? (None of the chars or you tho itâs very brief)
A/N: HI IM BACK FROM THE DEAD! These were supposed to be a lot shorter but I got too excited. If you by any chance wanna see some for your fav character lmk! I know it says request are closed in my bio but since itâs just hcs itâs a lot less (and I really enjoyed writing these so ajdhdhdk)
đĽDiluc:
This man cannot swim. Tell me otherwise, I dare you.
Kaeya tried to jokingly push him off a lil diving cliff area when they were kids.
He almost drowned. Kaeya was in a lot of trouble.
So, good luck getting this man to actually get in the water. The most heâll do is sit on the shore where itâs very shallow.
He usually prefers to just stay under an umbrella on the sand and keep an eye on you.
Calls you every two hours in advance and helps you reapply sunscreen.
Heâs very pale so I feel like he burns pretty easily, meaning he needs to reapply super frequently otherwise he will become a tomato. He brings like three bottles of the good shit. Tch, rich boy.
If you ask him to build a sandcastle, he will pretend to be annoyed but do it anyways. Ends up finding it kind of enjoyable.
He has the maids prepare a nice picnic basket for the two of you!! Itâs got all your favorite foods plus grape juice cuz yâknow.
If any creepy peeps approach you, donât worry. He brought his vision and his claymore.
Of course, he wonât have to resort to such violent lengths. Everyone in Mondstadt knows who Diluc is and they probably know youâre his s/o, so theyâre usually smart enough to mind their own business.
If they donât, donât worry. Dilucâs glare is more than enough to scare them away.
All in all I definitely recommend a beach day with him! Iâll give it a solid 8/10 (-2 for not wearing floaties and getting in the water with you or letting you teach him how to swim.
đAlbedo:
You guys definitely 100% take Klee out with you on a beach day.
You guys bring snacks, beach toys like buckets and shovels for optimal sandcastle building, a picnic blanket, etc.
Jean definitely packs a lot more stuff for you guys to take with you than you actually need.
Itâs only cuz sheâs worried for Klee and is nervous about not being able to go with you guys though! Itâs very sweet really.
Klee tries to bomb the fish and cause havoc at the beach đ
I think Albedo is a good swimmer and gets in with you and Klee so that he can help her (which is very cute omfg)
Heâs set total workaholic, as we know, so it took a lot of convincing to get him to put down his experiments and accompany you to the beach (however, heâs particularly weak to yours and kleeâs puppy dog eyes so he caved eventually)
Though, looking at you and Klee happily building sandcastles and decorating them with pretty seashells of all shapes and colors, he canât really find it in himself to complain.
He, of course, takes this opportunity to take out his sketchbook and draw the waves, seagulls, you⌠Of course he wonât let you see the sketch book no sir. Heâs a bit embarrassed to be honest, but an artist such as himself recognizes beauty when he sees it so he simply had to draw you. (God I love him so much)
If a creepy person approaches you,- well donât worry. The sight of a small arsonist child blowing up fish is enough to scare them away đĽ°
At the end of the day, all three of you are all ticketed out. Albedo has to carry Klee back to Mondstadt because the poor baby fell asleep the moment you started drying her hair with the beach towel. Youâre, of course, carrying back Dodoco and your bags. (You also manage to sneak a peak at Albedoâs sketchbook and find some very pretty drawings of you and Klee with your sandcastle)
At the end of the day, you guys tuck Klee in and read her a bedtime story (she woke up and insisted). Afterwards Albedo takes you back home and thanks you for coming with you and Klee (which you ofc say wasnât a problem because how could you not???)
All in all? Iâll give it a solid 10/10. Youâve got tasty food, fun times, your boyfriend and his cute kid adoptive sister (yes I am very biased idc)
đŚXiao:
I think it would take a lot of convincing to get Xiao to go out on a beach date with you.
Heâll probably see it as a distraction getting in the way of his slaying of monsters and demons.
However, he also worships the grounds you walk on (hehe, simp XD), so I donât think itâll take that much convincing on your part (especially because itâs is self appointed duty to keep you safe so if you insist on going with or without him, he supposes heâll have to go)
Is definitely a bit tense at first. He doesnât know how to let loose and chill so while youâre sun tanning on a beach chair heâs like đ§ââď¸ahdgshjsjd
Eventually calms down a bit though! You get him to relax and eat some almond tofu you brought along with you. It definitely gets him to perk up.
I donât think he would mind getting into the water but I do think heâd rather walk along the shore and collect pretty seashells and sea glass.
He later gives the ones he deems pretties to you (he hands them over to you with a blush on his face and pretends itâs not a big deal and he definitely gets all pouty and grouchy when you coo at how adorable he is)
As for creeps, Xiao is both intimidating and well known in Liyue. No one is brave enough (or, letâs be honest, dumb enough) to approach you with any bad intentions.
Sure, Xiao has sworn never to harm a human/citizen of Liyue but that doesnât mean he canât scare the absolute shit out of them.
I think Xiao would definitely enjoy a beach day đĽşđĽş. Heâd find it very relaxing to go out with you and just hear the sound of waves and feel the sand under his feet.
Heâd definitely hint at wanting to do it again later. Of course, he wonât tell you. No, thatâs a foolish mortal activity and he has much better things to do.
Wait no, don't turn around, yes he will go with you next month.
All in all, I give Xiao a 9/10. Itâs a very relaxing day (which he deserves đ¤). And you get to see a whole new side of him.
đNingguang:
OK SO ORIGINALLY I WASN'T GONNA WRITE ONE FOR HER (at least not in this post) BUT THEN I THOUGHT OF LADY NINGGUANG TAKING YOU TO A WHOLE ASS PRIVATE BEACH
She knows you donât care about how exclusive the beach you go to is (in fact, the fact that you donât care about where you are or what you do is one of the things that make her fall more and more madly in love with you) but you deserve the best so sheâs gonna go all out.
Sheâs a busy lady so days like this where the two of you get to go somewhere and be together are few and far between.
She knows itâs hard to be in a relationship with someone who is busy 24/7, so she appreciates how you remain by her side despite all hardships. (Yâall are a whole ass power couple istg)
The two of you spend your day relaxing. Sun bathing, drinking piĂąa coladas, maybe taking a dip in the ocean. Itâs all very pleasant!
Ningguang doesnât quite feel like the type of person who would sit in the sand and make sandcastle, however youâre more than welcome to make some yourself. She finds it endearing <3
If you insist on her helping, sheâll eventually comply. She loves you too much to say no. I feel like sheâll either be terrible at it or like a total architect.
Sand is technically like tiny rocks right? So maybe she can use her vision to help her? If thatâs the case, sheâs making a replica of the Jade chamber out of sand.
If any creepy person comes up to you donât worry. Ningguang will buy the whole beach and then use her right of admission as owner to permanently ban them from the beach youâre at.
The only downside to a day at the beach with Ningguang might be that thereâs a big chance sheâll be called to tend urgent matters, seeing as she is the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing and all.
If that does happen, sheâll be sure to make it up to you somehow, whether it be rescheduling or taking care of the matter as soon as possible so that the two of you can get back to your day of relaxation and fun.
All in all?? Lady Ningguang will treat you like total royalty and the two of you will have an amazing time! I give her an 11/10 (she would literally buy a whole beach for you to be comfortable I mean câmon)
đVenti:
BEACH DAYS WITH HIM ARE SO FUN!!
Swimming? Yeah, heâd love to! Sunbathing? Sure! Heâll ever conjure up a light breeze for the two of you. Sandcastle building? WELL OF COURSE WHY DO YOU THING HE BROUGHT ALL THESE BUCKETS AND SHOVELS?
No but seriously, he might be the best person out of everyone here to go to the beach with. Heâs fun, free spirited, and heâs a traveling bard whoâs been alive long enough to know where all the best beaches in Teyvat are. (He also knows a guy- er, well, dragon I suppose- who is willing to fly them to any place).
Heâll play some soft tunes while you doze under the sun.
HE PICKS PRETTY SHELLS AND GIFTS THEM TO YOU!!!
He will bring booze. Iâm pretty sure this is a necessity. If youâre a little upset about it, heâll probably âeheh~â his way out of it. That slick bastard.
If you really insist on him not drinking, he wonât consume much alcohol.
If some creepy person approaches you and tries to ruin you your day of beach time fun, all of their stuff will suddenly be blown away, causing them to scramble back to their spot and (almost embarrassingly) flail around trying to catch everything. What a shameâŚ
At the end of the day, heâd be a little sad to leave. Definitely makes plans about tbe two of you going back soon.
I gotta give him a 10/10 heâs just so fun omg.

Albedo, Kaeya, Childe, Xiao, Diluc and Zhongli with a depressed s/o? Iâm sorry for the immense amount of characters but you can pick and choose if you want haha I love your work btw!
Hello! :)
I only write for a maximum of 3 characters each request, so I've picked 3 from the ones you've listed but feel free to send in another request if you wanted the other 3 written up too! ^w^
Depressed S/O
Albedo:
â Albedo wasn't the best at understanding human emotions. He got on much better with things that were logical. Things that made sense. And emotions were far from that.
â Despite this, he really makes an effort to understand how you're feeling. He makes extensive notes and even does personal research in his free time.
â If you looked in his study, you would find a fair few thick journals filled to the brim with notes on your mental health. From any patterns he feels he's spotted, to things he's realised trigger you, to extensive lists of things that have helped lift your mood.
â Albedo also puts in a lot of time and effort into researching and crafting an anti-depressant stimulant for you. It wouldn't take your depression away because it wasn't made to be a cure. But it would help you with regulating your mood.
â He doesn't insist you take it though and he isn't offended if you admit that you have any concerns about it. Instead he switches gears and focuses on spending time with you, taking you out for walks along Dragonspine when you want to get out for a bit.
â Days when you can't get out of bed, he brings his work to you. He'll spend all day with you in your shared room, working away quietly, checking in on you. He brings you lunch when he stops to eat - and honestly it's only really his concern for you that he even remembers to stop and eat in the first place.
â Albedo doesn't understand human emotion, but when it comes to you he won't ever stop trying to understand it. Trying to understand you.
Diluc:
â Diluc can almost understand the way you're feeling at times. When he lost his father, he was so hurt he just felt empty. Alone. Scared and confused and so angry.
â You told him that was similar to the way you felt. But, you were ashamed to admit that you didn't really have a good reason for feeling this way.
â When you say this, Diluc looks almost angry. He cups your cheeks, as gentle as ever, and tells you never to say that again if you can help it.
"You are struggling. You're fighting battles internally and that is more difficult than we could ever know. You have a damn good reason for feeling as bad as you do, my flame."
â He goes on to remind you that if this had been a physical wound, one that you could clearly see, would you have insisted you had no reason to feel so horrible? It's easy to think you're just not trying hard enough when you can't see what's affecting you. But it does not make your feelings any less real or valid.
â You're depression is very much real and very much a reason to feel this way. You're fighting each day and it's difficult. But, at the very least, Diluc will not let you fight alone.
Xiao:
â Xiao, much like Albedo, struggled somewhat with understanding your emotions. For Xiao, it was much easier when there was a physical reason, because he could deal with it for you then.
â Even if it had been a demon's intervention that had caused your depression, he could have at least vanquished the demon that had hurt you so.
â But it wasn't like that. There was no physical cause for the way you felt. No demons harming you beyond the ones in your mind. And these ones Xiao couldn't fight.
â So instead, he does what he can. He spends time taking care of you. He'll bring you food and encourage you to eat when you can. When it's late out and no one else is around, he takes you outside for walks in the peaceful evening air.
â As an Adeptus, he doesn't require sleep. So when you're tired, he curls up with you, running his hand through your hair softly and keeping a close eye on you and your dreams. If nightmares come, he makes sure to eat them before they can affect you.
â Humans are so fragile and he knows this. Yet, at the same time, he can see how strong you are. And he reminds you that you're stronger than you realise too.
"You may not realise it, but you are consistently fighting against your own demons. I think the ones you face are far stronger than any of the demons I've ever fought. You are incredibly strong, love."
â He knows he's limited in the things he can do to help you, but Xiao will still do whatever he can for your sake.

đ°đĄđđ§ đ˛đ¨đŽ'đŤđ đđ¨đĽđ đĄđđŹ
pairings: childe, diluc, kaeya, albedo x f!reader (separate)
scenario: itâs reallyyyyy cold outside and you want your boyfriend to warm you up :) and maybe cuddle :) i mean what no its just soooo cold
genre: fluff so much fluff
wordcount: 1.6k (mostly albedoâs djkfsdjfnkd)Â
childe
ok so this guy
heâs from snezhnaya which is like russia
its always cold there so heâs used to the below 30 temperatures
you however
ARE NOT
like at all i mean youâre from mondstatd whens the last time it snowed here
so at first he might not notice that you are extremely cold
you two are walking around, being cute yk couple stuff
that is until you start shivering
âwhy are you shaking? are you scared of something???â
heâs not the brightest but we love him
âchilde, im cold.â you bury your face in his chest to hide from the wind
âitâs not that cold out here, i donât see why youâre being so dramatic.â
âitâs below 30 degrees! iâm going to get frostbite and die!â
ok so maybe you are a bit dramatic but YOUâRE FREEZING OKAY?
âhey ojou-chan, why are you so clingy all of a sudden-â you reached your hand inside his pocket to grab his hand.
holy crap your hands are cold
âhey wait donât grab my- THATâS MY SCARF!â
suddenly you were running away from him at top speed, his scarf in your hands
âcome back here! what are you - oof-!â he had grabbed onto the edge of the scarf and pulled it back, you along with it.
you fell on top of him and youâre both wrapped in the scarf like every single christmas romance movie
âwell now my hair is all full of snow.â
âyou deserve it.â âHEY!âÂ
you get up and walk off to the side, taking his scarf with you
he follows after you, and catches up quite fast considering heâs got them long legsÂ
oh to be tall
he wraps his arms around you in a hugÂ
âstill feeling cold?âÂ
âyES!âÂ
so you two head for home and he promises that heâll cuddle you all day to keep you warm
which is what you wanted in the first place ;)Â
diluc
diluc doesnât get cold
not because of where heâs from or anything
but because pyro visionÂ
~natural body heat~Â
and unlike childe he would actually notice you withering away in the snowÂ
ây/n, are you alright?âÂ
âhuh? yeah yeah im fine just a bit coldâÂ
suddenly you are being cuddledÂ
âdiluc??âÂ
âyes?âÂ
âyouâre hugging me?âÂ
he doesnât usually initiate pda often so it was a surprise
âyou said you were cold. iâm simply warming you up.âÂ
you lean into his hug and notice that heâs actually really warm
like so warm you get sleepy
youâre so sleepy now that you think about it
and bonk
congrats dear reader
you have fallen asleep in dilucâs arms
he continues to talk on about ventiâs drinking problem and how annoying kaeya is
he looks down and notices you sweetly dozing off in his embrace
and heâs so lucky to have you isnât he
he smiles softly and sweeps you into his arms
carries you bridal style upstairsÂ
heâs about to tuck you into your bed when your arms begin to tightly wrap around his shoulders
almost like you dont want to let goÂ
âdarling, itâs more comfortable in the bed,â he says quietly
ânoo...â your voice is muffled by his chest and you sound tiredÂ
he chuckles lightlyÂ
âjust lay down for a bit iâll be right with you in a minuteâÂ
youâre quiet, like youâre stopping to think
âif i lay down, will you cuddle with me?âÂ
diluc sighs
âyes iâll cuddle with you, just please lay down? for me?âÂ
and who are you to resist thatÂ
so you lay down and while itâs not as warm as him
its still really soft and you fall asleep in no time
he comes back to you sleeping, and not one to break his promises, he cuddles with you anywayÂ
at least youâre warm nowÂ
kaeyaÂ
believe it or not, kaeya actually does get cold
i mean yeah he has a cryo vision, but that just means he isnât affected by his own abilitiesÂ
or at least thats my headcanonÂ
anyways
if youâre shivering...he will not help you at first
no, first heâll tease you about it
like imagine you guys have a mission in dragonspine
âoh y/n~ did you fall for me so hard you got frostbite?â
âyouâre looking mighty chilled over there, need a hand?âÂ
you are this close to punching his arm
however because you want him to hug you and warm you up, you are going to stay on his good sideÂ
he might prolong the teasing for a while
and after that while, he may or may not let you hug him
if he goes on for a bit too long however, heâd feel badÂ
you arenât laughing at his jokes anymore because youâre so cold
you just want to stop and sleepÂ
your steps become slower and slower
your vision is getting blurrier by the second
and after a while you just stop moving
kaeya turns to look back at you bc he notices
ây/n?âÂ
and then in a total cliche moment you collapse out of pure exhaustion
like the gentleman he is, he catches you before you land face-first in the snow
and in his mind hes like shit i let this go on too long
so he carries you around, looking for a cave you can rest in until youâre feeling betterÂ
after maybe five minutes of searching he finds one
and he knows albedo is up here somewhere but he doesnât want to risk you being in the snow for too long
he starts a fire and tries to lay you down near it, but you arenât getting any warmer
so he puts you in his arms and just cuddles youÂ
the combination of body heat + fire is slowly warming you upÂ
and in about an hour youâre awake again
but you canât move, because his grip on you is very tight
âkaeya? where are we?âÂ
he slowly opens his eyesÂ
âoh, just a random cave in dragonspineâ he laughs a bit as he says it
then ofc he remembers youâve just woken up from collapsing and is like oh right serious time ok
âare you okay?â he asks and this time he has a hint of concern in his voice
âyeah, iâm fine. iâm warm now tooâ you say as the fire starts to die down a bit
kaeya moves his arm in front of you to shift the firewood a bitÂ
âiâm sorry for letting you get that coldâ he murmursÂ
you adjust your position so youâre facing his chestÂ
âitâs alright, at least i can finally get some cuddles this wayâÂ
you both continue to rest by the fire and decide youâll head back to mondstatd in the morning
albedo
because albedo is rather observant of most things
he notices your state right away
he immediately stops whatever he is doing and tends to you
âyouâre cold, arenât you?â he sits you on the table and feels your forehead
âalbedo, its not a feverâ you laugh.Â
âno, if it was a fever youâd be burning upâ he says matter-of-factlyÂ
he walks to the other side of the lab and grabs his coat
âhere, put this on.âÂ
you wrap the coat around yourself and start to get off the table
he rushes back and grabs your hands
theyâre cold (duh)Â
so then he thinks what can he do to make your hands warm
usually some mittens would do the trick
but he doesnt have any except for his own
wellÂ
heâll do what he has to
anything for youÂ
so he slides his gloves off and offers them to you
âput these on, your hands are probably freezingâÂ
when you hesitate (because arent his hands cold now? you dont want him to be cold) he takes the initative and takes your hands to put the gloves on
he stands back and says âthere. tell me if you get colder, okay?â
and tries to hide his flustered face because
you look so cute in his gloves!!!Â
theyâre his gloves and youâre wearing them !Â
he turns back to his work for a bitÂ
after maybe half an hour he looks backÂ
and you arenât sitting on the table anymore??Â
he looks around
you arenât anywhere??Â
thats not good
not good at all
he makes his way outside and doesnât see you there eitherÂ
ây/n?â he calls out into the snowÂ
unknowingly to him, you had headed out about ten minutes after he turned aroundÂ
you went to go search for some starsilver, as you heard him muttering about it under his breathÂ
you were happily heading back to the lab, arms full of the stuff, when you heard someone shout in surprise
it sounded like albedoÂ
something must have happened to one of his experiments
you quickly hurried towards the lab only to find
nothing?? not even the man himself
there were footsteps in the snow leading away from the room, but you couldnât be sure if it was yours or his
you decide to wait for him to come back, and set the starsilver near his workspace
after a while, he comes back in, looking stressed and worried
âalbedo?â he looks up and breathes in reliefÂ
âwhere were you, i came back and- mMf!â he rushes towards you and wraps you in a tight hug
âplease donât do that againâ he says
âi got you some starsilver..â
he breaks the hug and looks back at his desk
âyou went to get starsilver...for me?âÂ
you bury your face in his neckÂ
âyeah..i heard you muttering about it so i thought you needed some. it was colder out there than i thought, thoughâÂ
he pats your back soothingly, rubbing his hand in circles around your shoulderÂ
âletâs start a fire, thatâll warm us both upâÂ
a/n: hi! wooh my first headcanon :) sorry if it was a little long, and i know some were a bit angsty and im honestly sorry about that! albedoâs got away from me sdkhjf but i hope you enjoy! and feel free to request a fic if youâd like :)

Hello, hello~ I see you opened your requests and I LOVE it.
Can I request a gn!reader with Diluc, Xiao and Albedo who are trying to confess to the reader, but always failed because reader is too busy and is like "sorry need to go." or "I have something to do."?
In the end they confronted them and won't let them go so they finally can confess properly!
I hope you know what I mean ^.^
Have a nice day, have fun and thank youđ
-Anon (because I don't want my friends to find out I read stuff like this ;-;)
Haha, I'm glad! Sorry for the wait and welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy<3
tags: gn!reader x Albedo, Diluc, Xiao(separate), fluff, tsundere Xiao, flustered Diluc, Albedo is the only normal one for once wow, busy busy bees.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albedo
-The least annoyed over this as the others. Still kind of annoyed. But not nearly as much.
-Albedo is also really busy, so trying to clear his schedule to meet your schedule and then you're even more busy its.. He doesn't do good with relationships as is.
-The last to assume you are avoiding him tbh. He's smart but he doesn't understand social cues well enough to draw that conclusion.
-This is why he has lured you to dragonspine because he "needs help".
-cant run now bitch -Khoi Dao as Albedo probably.
Teal eyes watch you as you place the appropriate items where they need to go in his little camp. He had asked you to aid him in organizing his camp, every time he does it it just gets messed up minutes later anyways, he said. You reached up, placing some assorted trinkets on one of the shelves in the small camp. When you turn back towards the alchemist heâs holding his pencil to his pad of paper, but his eyes are trained on you.
âWhat else do we need to do here? I need to get back to Mond-â
âAhem, I do believe myself to be in love with you. And I would like to pursue a romantic relationship should you feel the same.â Albedo sounds so casual about it you almost didnât process what he just exclaimed. He gave you a moment, setting his notepad down on the small wooden table while he waited.
You let out an awkward laugh as you examined him, his expression remained as it usually did. âYouâre not kidding?â He shakes his head. âOh well-â You clear your throat, stepping closer to him and reaching out to him. He takes your hands in his, intertwining your fingers. âI do really have to get back to Mondstadt, but I feel the same.â You squeeze his hands and he returns the gesture.
Thankfully Kaeyaâs advice paid off..
Diluc
-Help him. Heâs tried so many times. What do you MEAN you need to go to Liyue for a weekend? Why do you need to take on Bennettâs commissions? Can you stand still for two seconds.
-No. No you canât. Straight up thinks youâre avoiding him for some reason. Too salty to ask anybody for assistance in this matter. Just kind of broods.
-Sees you while heâs out doing his darknight hero duties and decides now is a great time to corner you in, what normal non Diluc people consider, the weirdest way possible.
-Aka he just kind of drops down from wherever the hell this Batman impersonator was hiding.. Directly in front of you. This was not how he intended to do this but it was getting ridiculous and Kaeya was making fun of him so here he is.
"Ah! Diluc! Archons, my heart." You press a hand to your chest as you meet his gaze. His jaw is set and he somehow seems more annoyed than usual. You lower your hand as his eyes flick away from your form, glancing down the dark streets of Mondstadt. "Is something wrong? You're out quite late." You smile at him and he finally looks back at you.
"Pardon my boldness, but given your recent schedule I have been unable to find a better time for this." He steps closer and you tilt your head, waiting for him to continue what he was going to say. "I would like to take you out to dinner sometime." He adjusts his gloves as he waits for the momentarily stunned silence to pass. Did he always do this when he was nervous�
"Sure! I'll be free this weekend. Is anybody else joining us?" His smile is awkward, forced maybe? At your words.
"I meant romantically." Diluc clarifies, clearing his throat as warmth spreads to his cheeks. He could only hope his face didn't match his hair. Spoiler alert, it does.
You rub the back of your neck, not expecting this of all things on your walk home from commissions. "I'd love to, Diluc. I'll see you at five on Saturday." You pat his chest as you walk by him in the direction of your home. Leaving a stunned, very flustered wine tycoon.
Xiao
-THIS GUY. The most annoyed AND the most broody.
-He has never felt like this before, and so heâs stepping out of his comfort zone to even tell you! And then you just? Cut him off? And run away?!
-Tries only once, the moment youâre out of his line of sight he just sort of up and disappears from Wangshu Inn? He just leaves!
-You find out from Verr, because she wants to know if youâve seen him. "Last I saw him he was going to tell you he likes you." She says with a smile as if she didn't know he disappeared because he didn't manage to say it. Sneaky.
-So this is how you end up trying to lure him in with offers of almond tofu and annoyingly calling out âAdeptus Xiao!â over and over again like heâs a grumpy cat(he is.)
Black and teal swirls of smoke appeared before you and you could only sigh in relief, this had taken the better half of your day. The smoke soon dissipated, Xiao replacing it with his typical scowl. âWhat do you want?â His tone is harsh, harsher than usual. But at least he isnât dead or whatever, so you had that going for you.
âI heard some very interesting information from Verr Goldet!â You inform him, holding up the container of almond tofu, it jiggled. His amber eyes snap to the almond tofu, reaching out and snatching the container from you with a huff. A grumpy cat, indeed. âI have a few days off from commissions, would you like to tell me anything?â You clasp your hands behind your back, bouncing on the balls of your feet.
âNo.â
âOkay! Well, guess Iâll go then- Check in with Verr Goldet ok?â Xiao grabs your wrist before you could take more than a step away from him, polearm disappearing to make room for your arm. âHm? Something wrong, Xiao?â
âDo not make me say it.â
âSay what?â
Xiao huffs but doesnât let go of your wrist, this was so embarrassing. He knew you knew, you knew he knew you knew. Why bother with this charade? Though, he supposed, this humour of yours is partially what had drawn him to you. Xiao mumbles something under his breath and you lean in closer to hear him. âThis is stupid, I like you.â He mumbles, again.
âThere we go, was that so hard? I-â
âIt was.â
âI like you too, Xiao. Letâs go back to the inn and enjoy that tofu.â

Hello, I've noticed you've had some REALLY good works and wanted to request something.
If it doesn't bother you can I ask how everyone would react to the reader having very bad social anxiety and can barely talk to people without panicking.
Thank you for reading this and have a good dayđ
a/n: ahhhh tysm for requesting Iâll try my best to write this. My inbox is always open but keep in mind if you're requesting that I have no writing experience but Iâll try to write it hehe. Also Iâm sorry for not responding quickly end terms and college applications are coming up and I have no plan with my life jhvdfjlgvdfigbdpigbdgdg
This is so bad i cannot I had some ideas but it went out of the window when I worked on my crewri peta im sorry T^T
Warnings: cult au, hints of soft! Yan, hints of possessiveness (let me know if thereâs anything I should add here)
English isnât my first language so there will be grammatical errors
Pls don't repost my work anywhere without my permission
Any form of interaction toward the post is appreciated <333
Not gonna lie when they first met you face to face they were scared they did something wrong. They really thought you hated them or something. After learning that it wasnât the case made them relieved beyond belief. People like Albedo and Zhongli understand you better than others for they like solitude while someone like Venti will always push you to socialize more. Of course despite that they respect your boundaries and your wants, if you donât want to or canât speak to someone they make sure that you wonât be bothered for as long as you want.
Socializing is still a must for a balanced healthy lifestyle so your most loyal believers will try and make you socialize daily, nothing too much that you canât take though. They will also try to find ways to at least lessen the panic that you feel whenever you talk to someone. That being said though, as much as they want you to have a healthy lifestyle and find coping mechanisms for your anxiety they are still selfish. Theyâll utilize your condition as much as possible so that they can monopolize you. It becomes a competition as to who can get close to you first for that means spending more time with you. Sure maybe itâs a bit wrong but surely youâll understand right? They have the whole of Teyvat to compete with and not all of them are worthy of your time. Thatâs why your loyal acolytes did a bit of segregation, you only deserve the best after all especially with the people socializing with you.
