You should’ve known something was wrong as soon as Childe asked you if you wanted to go outside.

Honestly, you should’ve known something was wrong as soon as he found you reading in front of his fireplace, as soon as that crooked, schoolboy grin found its way to his lips and he forewent his usual routine of draping himself on top of you like some muscled, zealously homicidal weighted blanket in favor of ruffling your hair and toying with the collar of the flannel you were wearing (his flannel, technically, but you tried not to let yourself acknowledge how accustomed you’d grown to wearing your captor’s clothes or, more troublingly, how long it’d been since the last time you’d felt disgusted by it). “Snow should be done for a couple hours,” he started, nodding towards the frost-coated windows. It might’ve been a more charming sight if not for the scratches carved into the surface of the glass – souvenirs from there the first time you got your hands on one of his axes. “I’m thinking of stepping out, doing a little hunting before the storm kicks up again. Wanna come with me?”

You narrowed your eyes at your book, trying to hide the way your heart beat a little faster at the suggestion of being able to leave his claustrophobic cabin. But, with Childe, you were usually better off staying safely tucked behind the bars of your rustic cage. “Is this going to be a normal hunting trip or a you hunting trip?”

He only hummed. “’fraid I don’t know what you mean by that, princess.”

“Are we going to be hunting animals, or…” You trailed off, swallowing down the bitter taste that came with remembering why you were here. “… or, you know. People, or whatever.”

“This time of year?” He let out an airy laugh, like you’d asked to go skiing in the middle of summer. “There’s nobody on the mountain ’cept me and you.”

Still, you dug your teeth into the inside of your cheek, forcing yourself to try and think beyond your near-overwhelming desire to be anywhere but here. Childe was a murderer, a sadist, a kidnapper, but he wasn’t the type to play mind games. He tended to divide his reality between the world outside – where people could be hunted like quarry, their bodies left to rot in tents and rivers with only the occasional token taken as a keepsake – and the world inside the walls of his cabin – where he sat you down in front of a low-burning fire and told you stories about ice-fishing with his siblings and pouted when you admit his (admittedly, not entirely inedible) cooking could use a little more seasoning. After that first night – the worst night of your fucking life – he seemed to want to keep you resigned to the latter, at least until he came home covered in blood and desperate for something warm and familiar to fuck until he passed out.

Eventually, you sighed, closing your book and sitting up. “Fine. When do we leave?”

His grin widened, head lulling forward as he pressed a kiss into the top of your head. “The front door’s already unlocked. I’ll give you a head start, a full five minutes. Actually, make it ten – just to make it a little more fun for you.”

 There was a beat of silence, then another. “Childe, you’re making it sound like you’re—”

“Like I said, there’s nobody on the mountain but me and you.” He pulled away, turning on his heel. “I’ll be nice, too – won’t use anything with more than a twenty-foot range.”

“But, you— you can’t just—”

“Tick-tock.” He clicked his tongue, winking at you over his shoulder. “Unless you’d rather cut straight to the good part.”

You should’ve known something was wrong, and now, running through the frozen wilderness desperately lost and barely dressed, your ten minutes spent and a killer undoubtedly chasing you down, you were paying the price for it.

You didn’t have time to be tactical. The snow was fresh enough to make every interruption unbearable obvious, meaning that – even if you were willing to stop and spare the seconds it’d take to hide your tracks, it wouldn’t have done you much good. Your only option was to run, but even that was easier said than done. Childe preferred to keep you in a state of hand-crafted domestic bliss, meaning what few clothes you did have were either picked out by or borrowed from him. Currently, all that separated you from the cold was his flannel, an oversized shirt, and a pair of his boots that you’d snagged on your way out. The chill snapped at your cold legs like the teeth of some unseen predator, the frigid air burning holes in your lungs, but the thought of what Childe would do when he caught you was enough to keep your feet moving, to keep you sprinting blindly through the forest. He wouldn’t kill you. You had to believe that he wouldn’t kill you, but—

A high-pitched holler, the sound of branches snapping underfoot and foliage being pushed aside somewhere behind you. You hadn’t stopped running after your first trembling steps away from the cabin, and yet, he couldn’t have been more than a few hundred feet behind you – half a mile, at your most generous guess. You started to curse under your breath, then thought better of it, biting down on your bottom lip with enough force to draw blood and pivoting to the left, where the forest seemed to be just a little thicker. If you couldn’t get away from him, you could at least try to hide before he got to you.

It was a haphazard, half-baked plan that was cruelly and immediately cut short as your foot caught on a root hidden by the snow, tearing away your right boot and leaving you sprawled over the frozen ground. Dampness sunk into your thin clothes, and you shut your eyes, trying to listen for Childe’s footsteps, but there was a reason none of his victims ever seemed to hear him coming. The forest’s minimal white noise was enough to swallow him entirely, the sound of birdsong and distant car engines disguising his presence despite your best attempts to—

Your realization was delayed, but intense.

Cars.

Cars meant roads. Cars meant civilization. Cars meant people, people who could take you away from here, away from Childe. You clambered to your feet, but failed to take so much as a step before a sudden, stabbing pain bit into your calf, your leg immediately buckling underneath you. You would’ve fallen entirely if it hadn’t been for the adrenaline running through your system, numbing the agony and choking the ragged scream that threatened to rise from the pit of your chest into a cracked whimper. It was one of Childe’s arrows – you would’ve been able to recognize that black steel from a mile away – but you didn’t let yourself linger on the implications. With grit teeth and balled fists, you limped forward, leaving a thin trail of crimson in your wake. You would’ve missed it if you hadn’t been looking, but it was there – a thin, wobbling, unpaved dirt road, only marked by two thin rows of tire tracks that sliced harshly through the otherwise unmarred blanket of snow. God, you never thought you’d be so happy to see dirt.

There wasn’t time to think. You stumbled out of the woods and into the road, the arrow’s head sinking that much deeper with every stuttering movement. The car you’d heard was still there, too; a by-the-numbers sedan, only a few hundred feet down the road. You threw up your arms up, then thought better of it; cupping your shaking hands around your mouth. You moved to call out, but whatever you might’ve said was stolen away from you as something dark flashed across your peripheral and another arrow planted itself in your right shoulder. This time, you crumbled like a dead leaf – broken into pieces by a morning gale.

Out of the corner of your eye, you watched Childe emerge from the tree line, his crossbow still in-hand. As he came to stand in front of you, your gaze shifted back to the car. You watched, your mind buzzing with pain, as it disappeared around a sharp bend, never so much as slowing down.

You didn’t realize you were crying until you heard Childe coo, wiping away the tears flowing down your cheeks before they could freeze against your skin. “Sorry, princess,” he muttered, his voice low with a painful edge. “I guess I cheated, huh? Couldn’t help it – just knew you’d look so cute all bruised up and bleeding.”

Dropping his crossbow carelessly, he fell to your height. He was dressed for one of his usual hunts; a cut-off shotgun slung over his back, a hunting knife sheathed at his hip. The leather casing of the latter pressed into your side as he dipped lower, burying his face in the crook of your neck and pressing a long, open-mouthed kiss into the base of your throat. You felt his knee settle between your thighs, and weakly, your hands found their way to his chest. “Not here,” you mumbled, more afraid of the chill quickly seeping under your skin than being seen. “It hurts, Childe. I—I think you hit something imp—”

“I’ll be fast.” Another kiss, this one to the exposed skin of your collarbone. His calloused hands skirted over your sides, then your waist, hiking the thin fabric of your oversized shirt up to your midriff. You were already past the point of total numbness, and yet, the rough gravel beneath the snow cut harshly into your exposed skin. Rather than distracting you from the pain in your calf, your shoulder, it only seemed to draw more attention to your bleeding wounds, only seemed to make it harder to ignore the dull heat of Childe’s mouth against your chest. “Gotta take you out more often. You’re always beautiful, but I didn’t know you’d look this pretty.”

It hurt, it hurt, it hurt. His arrow burnt into the tattered skin of your calf as his hands fell to your legs, groping at the plush of your thighs playfully before shifting his attention to the fly of his jeans. You knew what he wanted, he’d always been transparent, but the sound of shifting fabric, the sight of his rosy-tipped, stiff cock pressing flush against his stomach – that was enough for the loose coil of dread writhing in the pit of your chest to tighten into a tight, jagged knot of pure terror. You tried to sit up, to make your refusal that much more apparent, but Childe only caught you by your uninjured shoulder, shoving you into the ground with enough force to earn a pained scowl, a fractured whimper. His only response was a wordless, vaguely sympathetic noise, a softened lull to his wide smile. “No skipping out on this, babydoll. I can’t guarantee you’ll end up in one piece if I have to wait ‘till we get home.”

It was a fair warning, but anything he could have said would’ve been lost on you. Your heart was beating in your ears, blocking out any other sound. Pools of red blood and piles of limp bodies flashed across your vision and desperately, futilely, you clawed at the hand on your shoulder, kicked at his chest, thrashed underneath him like an animal unaware that resistance would only make the predator want to drive its teeth that much deeper. It was more Childe’s divided attention than your strength, but your heel found his side and, just for a moment, he slipped, letting out a soft grunt as the hand pinning you down fell away. You were scrambling onto your knees in a second, attempting to get your feet underneath you in another, but your little stunt was cut short as Childe lashed out, wrapping his arm around your neck and forcing your stomach against the ground. There was no whimpering, anymore – just a ragged, ear-piercing scream as his free hand found the arrow in your shoulder, tearing it out of you in one clean, unfaltering motion. His only response came in the form of a throaty moan; deep and terrible and followed immediately by the feeling of his cock against your dry cunt. You would’ve begged him to stop, offered to let him do anything he wanted to you if he just didn’t do this, but he didn’t give you time to bargain. Without hesitation, he thrust into you, bottoming out in the same motion.

Trembling sobs tore at your throat and past your lips, tears now flowing unabashedly down your cheeks. Childe kept his full weight against your back as he fucked into you with short, sharp thrusts – never happy unless he was burying himself in the deepest pocket of your poor, freezing pussy. Rather than desensitizing you, letting you fall back into some distant state of nonexistence, the snow seemed to burn where it was pressed into your cheek, your chest. You wished he would’ve taken off the rest of your clothes. You wished he would’ve just shot his stupid arrows into your skull and put you out of your misery.

It shouldn’t have felt good, you didn’t want it to feel good, but your body didn’t know that. Your cunt clenched and drooled around him, trying in vain to turn his assault into something you could enjoy, but the way he grunted into your ear snuffed out any pleasure you might’ve been able to feel. “Tryin’ to pull me back in,” he muttered, his voice already airy, already strung out. You couldn’t help but wonder if, had you only been able to run from him for another minute, he would’ve found something else to shove his dick into and left you out here to freeze to death. “Is that your goal? Wanna – Fuck, wanna help me warm you up?”

His hands fell to your hips, pulling your ass flush against his hips and letting him fuck into you that much deeper, that much more brutally. Your injured leg grated against the dirt of the road and you cried out, your voice ragged and barely coherent. “St— Hurts, stop, stop, please, stop—”

“That’s it, always making such pretty sounds for me.” He buried his face in the dip of your shoulder. “Sometimes, it feels like all I wanna do it cut you open and crawl—”

He was interrupted by the dull roar of an approaching engine and something brightened inside of you, your eyes shifting towards the road, towards the well-beaten pick-up truck speeding in your direction. The breaks screeched as you and Childe came into the driver’s view, and for a second, you let yourself go slack underneath him, relief overwhelming your better judgement.

Childe wasn’t so sentimental.

His shotgun was in his hand before you could so much as process that he’d moved. Wordlessly, he fired off two shots; the first to the windshield on the driver’s side and the second to one of the front tires. You watched on helplessly as your last hope for salvation bucked, swerved, then veered off of the road entirely, catching on a snowbank and turning over once before crashing into the trunk of an oak that failed to so much as shake under the force of the collision. It was quieter than you’d expected it to be, the only sounds that of shattering glass and crunching metal. If there were survivors, no one screamed, or called for help, or came stumbling out of the wreckage. Childe’s breath hitched in his throat, his pace growing that much more erratic as he buckled into you – his pointed canines finding the tender junction at the base of your throat and burying themselves in your skin. It was less a love-bite and more an effort to eat you alive. What little blood he didn’t lap up washed over your chest, melting the frost and mixing into the snow beneath you. “Look—” He groaned, tried and failed to pull away from you. His voice reverberated against the curve of your neck as he went on. “Look what you turn me into, princess. Got me making all kinds of messes for you.”

Blood. Bodies. The taste of his cum on your tongue as your friends bled out under the same roof. You would’ve choked the air in your lungs if you’d been able to breathe, but there was no point lingering on pleasant hypotheticals. There were no distractions from the feeling of Childe’s hips grating against yours, the way his cock twitched as settled against you. A guttural moan tore past his lips as something thick and searing flooded into you, and you refused to let yourself acknowledge that this was the warmest you’d felt in days.

You stayed there, limp and frozen and miserable, as Childe pulled away from you, pulled out of you. Your eyes fell shut as he stumbled to his feet, your skin too numb to feel anything aside from the pressure of his arms around your motionless body. He pulled you against his chest, then let out a low whistle. “Might’ve gone a little overboard there. Sorry ‘bout that, princess.” A low chuckle, a gentle squeeze. “I just can’t help it, not when it comes to you. You’ll forgive me after a warm bath, right?”

You didn’t answer. The arrow in your calf must’ve fallen out, or maybe not – you couldn’t feel anything below your knees. Your hands felt like dead weight too, utterly disconnected from anything you might’ve used to control them, but every drop of panic, every ounce of horror – that all paled in comparison to the never-ending pit of pitch-black loathing that formed in your chest as you stared up at Childe. You hated him, wanted to see him torn apart with his own stockpile of weapons, but you really couldn’t blame him. Not for this, at least.

You should’ve known something was wrong as soon as the monster bared its fangs.

Title: An invitation to a chase

Character(s): Childe / Tartaglia (Genshin Impact)

Summary: Isekai au; It wasn't by choice that you dropped into this game. It was slow, but you slowly manage to make a living for yourself in Liyue. This was not a game anymore. Yet at the same time, you could not shake the feeling that this world had its faith already decided so you decided to become someone from the background not knowing you have gained the interest of a certain harbinger.

Warnings/tags: F!reader, yandere themes, mentions of other characters (liyue)

When you woke up you didn't know where you were...

Confused by the tall mountains and the beastly monsters that carried axes, wooden bats and shields, the small circle monsters that looked afraid when they saw you and ran away, you thought that they were familiar but at the same time in a daze unable to properly understand anything.

It was almost like a dream that you waited to wake up but... you never did.

It was with the help of travelers and adventurers passing by that you finally understood where you were. Their clothes hinted at where you were, and the names of places were another one. It was slow, but soon everything clicked together. You were sucked into a game called Genshin Impact, and you don't know how to get back.

Distraught you were after you realize that other than your clothes, you had nothing, nothing that reminded you of home or a way back. It was with the help of kind-hearted adventurers that you were able to get back up.

You knew that you were in Liyue and with the adventurers who found you here heading to Liyue Harbor. It was soon that you parted ways with them after they were sure that you knew your way around and had a place to stay.

You passed by Xinyan and Yunjin in their repetitive stages till you found Yanfei, who helped you get on your feet and make a living for yourself here.

It has been a few months since then, and oftentimes, you wondered if you should have even become friends with the characters that you once knew from behind a screen. If you were allowed to be their friend when you didn't belong here. No matter how kind Xinagling and Gouba were, they would always be a reminder to you that this was a game that you played once.

The NPCs that you helped as a traveler, even playable characters... it was somewhat nerving to see them... detailed, their struggles beside their quests that they gave to the traveler. You used to see only part of their problem before being forced away from them, unable to talk to them anymore besides a few repeating texts.

You wanted to help them, but part of you also thought that you shouldn't. That later on the traveler would come and help them which you thought would be far more appropriate than... you.

It wasn't like you didn't want to help, but in the end, you realized that they didn't ask for it and that you weren't the traveler anymore, and that you were another person altogether at this point. You didn't have the power to make everything okay again.

Instead, you just choose to be in the background, maybe a friend to Yanfei and a few others or just acquaintances for others if you ever bump into them yet faceless in the whole storyline you suspected to start soon.

So when you were out in the mountains gathering herbs, you didn't think you would see a certain person with ginger hair and blue eyes who came all the way from Snezhnaya.

He was the one who noticed you first as you froze like a deer in headlights unable to move when you meet his eyes. It wasn't like he was gonna kill you, you knew that even if he could he would not. But that never changed the fact that to you he was still dangerous.

Meeting him here all of a sudden without any notice made you unable to casually wave at the man who did so instead look away as you took off leaving him alone to wonder if he had done something wrong to a stranger. Did his wave offend you?

You thought you would never see that man again.

Again, you mentally thought it wasn't like you disliked him or anything, as much as you would fawn over or like this character in the past... it has been months since you last played the game, and the characters became all the more real to you even if you didn't want them to be... yet at the same time still just characters.

Yanfei would occasionally visit your home when you realize that she had her own problems other than what the game shows. That her words weren't on repeat, but actual genuine interest.

It made you think about the future choices that have yet to happen when Zhongli would choose to "die" in the ceremony... how much panic and worry would strike the citizens but also you. It also made you think about a certain toy seller who would cause even greater trouble and turbulence. The same man who waved at you.

It wasn't like you could stop him. You didn't have a vision, nor were you strong enough to fight him.

Choosing to stay quiet till everything passed was what you chose to do when everything would finally happen. You already knew that everything would end well one way or another with the help of the traveler.

You didn't expect to see him again in the mountains. This time, he was sitting on the grass as if he had finished training just a few moments ago. With how messy the whole place around him was? No doubt.

Hidden behind the trees, you stared at the man who you thought didn't notice you, carefully taking a step back you plan to leave.

"You know, it was quite rude of you to just go when someone greets you."

You flinched as you glanced back at him, a cheerful smile on his face.

You were caught.

"I am sorry... I was in a hurry back then." You tried to make an excuse, not making a move to go towards the man nor stepping away to make a run for it. It would be too suspicious. Tho... he probably already was suspicious of you.

"Hmmm, I am not so sure about that."

You watched as he sat up still watching you, "While I don't exactly think that you are a spy seeing how concentrated you were in collecting those herbs, you looked like you almost like a rabbit frozen in place as if I have come to bite you." The smile never once went down, but it also never reached his eyes.

"Tell me, have we met before? Your eyes recognized me when you saw me, but I don't remember ever seeing you."

You bite your lip as you look away. Were you really that obvious? You wondered, but you shook your head. "I don't recall ever meeting you in my life. It was because I experienced an… unfortunate event with the fatui that I now choose to just avoid them." You told him... somewhat honestly…

Well, half truth and half lie really… You did experience events from the game that almost made you dislike the fatui when you watch them cause so much trouble. But you also meet a few here, and while most ignore you, some could be rather...

So, really, you aren't wrong. You just hoped that Childe actually buys into the story enough to leave you from now on.

"Hmmm… Is that so. Well, maybe you can tell me who it was, and I will go check?" ...Childe was definitely trying to do something here. "That won't be needed." You said almost harshly. You were nervous.

"Now, now. If they made a mistake and hurt the passerby for no reason, then they are definitely at fault for it and would need punishment." Childe raised his hand, the other on his waist. "That isn't needed." You told him raising your hand as if to stop him, "It was long ago now, and I do not remember the person's face, nor do I care to get some sort of revenge."

Rather than a random fatui, you prefer if someone could knock some sense into the man in front of you. Not that you would say that.

You already packed your bags and were planning to head out as soon as you heard that Monstade was saved by the traveler and head there for a vacation away from the chaos here. You saved some mora just for this reason, too.

"Ahh, alright. Then how about this. How about I hang out with you whenever you go to the mountains? Think of it as an apology from the fatui." Childe said, taking a step closer still with a friendly smile. You lightly bite your tongue, wondering why he was so insistent. There was absolutely nothing special about you to warrant such interest like this. "That would not be needed."

"Well, but had I not come here a moment or two later, you would have already been hurt by the hilichurl camp here," Childe told you, his smile widening almost like a Cheshire cat. Quickly, you looked to his side, and your eyes widened in surprise. Of course, the mess was from a hilichurl camp.

"Don't worry too much about it they are all down. While you gathered herbs, I can clear out the place for you, and if there is a particularly hard place to get to something, I can also help you out." Childe made the deal sweet in his own opinion, yet when he raised his hand for a handshake you looked into his eyes and noticed that he still was suspicious of you, and you knew that if you declined here he would try other means to watch over you. 

You frowned at him again, "I already told you that I do not wish assistance from the fatui."

"Hmmm, okay there. I will just be right beside you, not as a protector or anything like that, but more on an accidental meeting." You have been left speechless at how shameless this man was. All the while, he continued to smile as if he didn't say anything wrong.

And as much as you hated it, he kept his promise or whatever you would call it. Whenever you would go to the mountains, he was always there acting as if he was just going to head up too and that the two of you should hang out. Or that time you met him on the way, and he decided to follow you up again when you clearly saw that he was actually going down it. When you change the time you usually go up the mountains thinking you could outmaneuver him... he was there waiting for you.

It was unnerving really how often he followed you, as you would now see him in the market and the streets of Liyue Harbor. "Ah! I didn't expect to meet you here, comrade." Childe would openly greet you while you want nothing more than to look away. You didn't doubt that he had eyes everywhere... he probably placed a spy or two on you if he was actually suspicious of you.

Yet somehow you thought that this was different, that the eyes on you weren't cause you were a spy but something else. Not when you realize that Childe's eyes were always on you, no matter what you do, he was always there...

What did he notice...

It was always amusing watching you search for that moment to scurry away like a mouse whenever the two of you meet. It was something that Childe always took pleasure teasing you with.

You have always been like this except to a way to various degrees even with others but more so with him. There was always a distance between you and the world that he craved to figure out. When he first came to Liyue a few months ago, Childe had seen you a few times walking around the streets. You weren't special well, not at first, while vision holders tend to have their own distinct style. You choose something that blended with the crowd and their fashion.

He didn't really care much, just a moment thought and then to the next topic he had to deal with. But he couldn't help himself but look at you again after he noticed you on the side of the street with some vision holders. You guys were talking for a bit, but Childe noticed that stare you had almost knowing, yet no words of it came out of your mouth.

A few times later, he saw you by chance. You sometimes had this distant look in your eyes as you watched the ships come and leave the docks. Sometimes, it was a cautious look or maybe sometimes impatient, but you were always watchful... waiting. You were always looking for so clues, what he wasn't sure but had as time passed gotten curious.

The first time you saw him, he thought that you would maybe wave back as he raised his hand, yet much to his surprise there was recognition in yoru eyes, and then the next thing you did was run away.

You knew him, even tho he had no remembrance of ever meeting you before he noticed you. There was a certain thrill that beat in his heart when he realized that you knew more than you let on.

And to him, it was an invitation to a chase.

He followed you almost ever you went ever since then, mildly disappointed when his duties call for him as he had to for a short put a cause to the chase. But the more he spent time with you, watching you, he knew that you were definitely hiding something. The knowing look you sometimes give to others when you thought that they were looking, as you withheld information that was just about to reach the tip of your tongue. The look that you gave him, when he talked about certain topics, his trill towards fighting, your eyes told him that you knew something that he never told anyone else other than his close associates.

And to him, it was nothing but trilling. You have become something likened to a prey that he had become found over. Someday, there is this itch of wanting nothing more than to rip you apart to know everything about you, but he cherishes you just enough not to.

It would be sad to destroy you like that, but to be fair, even if he had patience... he could only wait for so long.

Note: It is his special day so loll

Teyvat!Legend of Drizzt Concept

Okay so @planerider-ryn​ asked about the Genshin/Drizzt AU and I only really need, like, one person encouraging me to get me to ramble about both my special interests at the same time so I am going to ramble.

A lot.

So with this AU the first thing I really needed to consider has to do with the characters themselves: Teyvat has elves but at the moment there’s no real indication we have drow or any sort of dark elf.  If I were to consider this from the perspective that all the drow of Legend of Drizzt are fairly rare individuals from a culture based underground, with a religious system widely considered aberrant, very distinctive physical features, and a tendency towards longevity you know what I’d think of?

Khaenri’ah.

So it very likely wholly flies in the face of Genshin’s canon, but all the drow characters are now just…Khaenri’ahn or half-Khaenri’ahn elves.  Is that a lot of Khaenri’ahn characters despite the ethnic group being supposedly rare?  Yeah.

But drow are supposedly rare on the surface in Faerun so I think I can get away with it.

Second point to consider: While a lot of Legend of Drizzt characters are not mages, I cannot look at any of them and reasonably go “Yeah none of these guys would have Visions” most of them would have Visions.  Actually the only major characters I can reasonably look at and write “would not have a Vision” are like, Regis but probably only for a limited period, and Briennelle, who is a toddler.  Yeah children can have Visions but Brie cannot say “stars” yet; I don’t think she has a Vision.

Third point: Where is everyone hanging out?  A much easier question than I anticipated.  As per my current notes, most of the drow characters probably got their Vision in Sumeru since Khaenri’ah is under it and have since spread out among the nations.  Because this whole AU does sorta cut out the need for like, murder for social climbing Drizzt’s family is still alive just…actively avoiding each other while Malice tries to find them.

Anyway all my points in mind I’m gonna give a list of each character, the Vision I think they have (if they have one), their weapon, where they got their Vision, and where they are now/what they’re doing.

And for fun, I’ll list their ascension and talent materials.  The boss materials might not match the region they’re living in so bear that in mind.

Note for people not aware of how weapons in Genshin work: Genshin has five weapon categories: Bow, Catalyst, Claymore, Polearm, and Sword.  I am fully aware that, say, Bruenor wields an ax and Drizzt and Zaknafein dual-wield.  The weapon categories are pretty set so I can’t mess with them.  In another post I’ll probably list off their weapons with fun descriptions and stuff.

Drizzt (Cryo Vision, Sword, Sumeru): Since he’s highkey feral and also avoiding populated areas is a surefire way to avoid all of his siblings and his mom, Drizzt and the Companions are running around near Dragonspine.  Guenhwyvar, who we love, is a melanistic rishboland tiger that Drizzt is honest to god hanging out with.

Character Ascension Material: Shivada Jade

Boss Material: Crystalline Bloom

Local Specialty: Wolfhook

Character Enhancement Material: Slime Materials

Character Talent Material: Freedom

Weekly Boss Drop: Tail of Boreas

Catti-brie (Dendro Vision, Bow, Mondstadt): Catti-brie and Bruenor definitely live somewhere near Dragonspine, probably on the very edges of Springvale.  They’ve definitely hosted Drizzt in their house more than once.

Character Ascension Material: Nagadus Emerald

Boss Material: Majestic Hooked Beak

Local Specialty: Calla Lily

Character Enhancement Material: Hilichurl Shooter Materials

Character Talent Material: Resistance

Weekly Boss Drop: Spirit Locket of Boreas

Bruenor (Geo Vision, Claymore, Mondstadt): So Teyvat, to my knowledge, doesn’t have dwarves, but if they were the idea of Bruenor being like, Springvale’s very grumpy blacksmith really appeals to me.

Character Ascension Material: Prithiva Topaz

Boss Material: Basalt Pillar

Local Specialty: Philanemo Mushroom

Character Enhancement Material: Whopperflower Materials

Character Talent Material: Resistance

Weekly Boss Drop: Dvalin’s Claw

Wulfgar (Geo Vision, Claymore, Snezhnaya): I picked Snezhnaya because no one in Mondstadt, to my knowledge, lives on Dragonspine but from what we know some people in Snezhnaya just do not interact with the government at all.  I like to think Wulfgar went to Mondstadt for something Dragonspine-related and then stuck around for the friendship.

Character Ascension Material: Prithiva Topaz

Boss Material: Juvenile Jade

Local Specialty: Valberry

Character Enhancement Material: Hilichurl Materials

Character Talent Material: Freedom

Weekly Boss Drop: Ring of Boreas

Regis (Initially no Vision–Later Hydro Vision, Catalyst, Mondstadt): I think Regis got to Springvale running from Sumeru for the same rough reasons of “stole something he shouldn’t have” but settled in fine given he’s very suited to Mondstadt’s culture.  I think eventually he gets a Vision, but initially, he doesn’t have one.

Character Ascension Material: Varunada Lazurite

Boss Material: Perpetual Caliber

Local Specialty: Cecilia

Character Enhancement Material: Treasure Hoarder Materials

Character Talent Material: Ballad

Weekly Boss Drop: Dvalin’s Sigh

Malice (Electro Vision, Catalyst, Sumeru): So I liked Drizzt’s siblings having Visions as an adaptation of Malice’s need for control and her high expectations.  I think this also would translate into her choosing fathers who themselves have Vision and not accepting that her children want nothing to do with her.  Hence she is traveling around Teyvat trying to take them home.

Character Ascension Material: Vajrada Amethyst

Boss Material: Runic Fang

Local Specialty: Kalpalata Lotus

Character Enhancement Material: Samachurl Materials

Character Talent Material: Admonition

Weekly Boss Drop: Mudra of the Malefic General

Rizzen (Hydro Vision, Polearm, Sumeru): Rizzen, I think, is probably still following after Malice though I think he really would rather let his kids live their own lives.  As miserable as he is he is still loyal to Malice, to a fault.

Character Ascension Material: Varunada Lazurite

Boss Material: Cleansing Heart

Local Specialty: Padisarah

Character Enhancement Material: Samachurl Materials

Character Talent Material: Praxis

Weekly Boss Drop: Tears of the Calamitous God

Zaknafein (Pyro Vision, Sword, Sumeru): Zak is absolutely nowhere near Malice now, but when this hypothetical storyline begins he and Drizzt are not only separated, I kinda think they think the other is dead.  Either way he’s probably in the desert initially but eventually settles in Port Ormos with Jarlaxle.

Character Ascension Material: Agnidus Agate

Boss Material: Smoldering Pearl

Local Specialty: Henna Berry

Character Enhancement Material: Treasure Hoarder Materials

Character Talent Material: Admonition

Weekly Boss Drop: Ashen Heart

Briza (Pyro Vision, Claymore, Sumeru): Briza ran off into the desert the first chance she got and has not been heard from by Drizzt or Malice since.  The only sibling she bothers to contact anymore is Nalfein and that’s because he’s “easy” to find.

Character Ascension Material: Agnidus Agate

Boss Material: Light Guiding Tetrahedron

Local Specialty: Sand Grease Pupa

Character Enhancement Material: Eremite Materials

Character Talent Material: Admonition

Weekly Boss Drop: Puppet Strings

Nalfein (Anemo Vision, Catalyst, Sumeru): Nalfein, meanwhile, has been jumping between Port Ormos and a wide array of ruins from the ones in Sumeru to the Chasm to Enkanomiya to Stormterror’s Lair.  He’s probably the most in contact with his siblings but that’s also because sometimes he just shows up in their vicinity.

Character Ascension Material: Vayuda Turquoise

Boss Material: Pseudo-Stamens

Local Specialty: Nilotpala Lotus

Character Enhancement Material: Fungus Materials

Character Talent Material: Ingenuity

Weekly Boss Drop: Daka’s Bell

Vierna (Hydro Vision, Sword, Sumeru): Vierna, like Drizzt, thinks Zak is dead and has no real reason to contact her family.  She was trying to find Drizzt for a time, and worked for Jarlaxle for a bit.  Now I think she does the usual sellsword work out of Liyue since none of her other siblings are there.

Character Ascension Material: Varunada Lazurite

Boss Material: Cleansing Heart

Local Specialty: Glaze Lily

Character Enhancement Material: Fatui Skirmisher Materials

Character Talent Material: Diligence

Weekly Boss Drop: Bloodjade Branch

Dinin (Electro Vision, Bow, Sumeru): After getting away from Malice (and probably throwing Nalfein under the bus in the process true to form) Dinin worked for Jarlaxle for a bit before a run-in involving Vierna and Drizzt went sour.  He’s since settled for doing Forest Ranger work in Gandharva Ville since it’s exciting enough he’s not bored and calm enough he’s not a constant ball of nerves.

Character Ascension Material: Vajrada Amethyst

Boss Material: Thunderclap Fruitcore

Local Specialty: Rukkhashava Mushroom

Character Enhancement Material: Whopperflower Materials

Character Talent Material: Admonition

Weekly Boss Drop: The Meaning of Aeons

Maya (Hydro Vision, Polearm, Sumeru): Maya, like Briza, is extremely Not in Contact with the rest of the family.  At most she probably talks to Nalfein and Dinin and spends a lot of time in Sumeru City or exploring the Chasm and Enkanomiya.

Character Ascension Material: Varunada Lazurite

Boss Material: Dew of Repudiation

Local Specialty: Padisarah

Character Enhancement Material: Specter Materials

Character Talent Material: Ingenuity

Weekly Boss Drop: Hellfire Butterfly

Artemis (Cryo Vision, Sword, Sumeru): Artemis is definitely a desert-dweller with a chip on his shoulder.  Initially he was probably hired out to track down Regis but got roped into stuff with Jarlaxle afterwards.  I like to think he’s mildly tolerating Jarlaxle’s bullshit in Port Ormos now.

Character Ascension Material: Shivada Jade

Boss Material: Perpetual Caliber

Local Specialty: Scarab

Character Enhancement Material: Eremite Materials

Character Talent Material: Admonition

Weekly Boss Drop: Puppet Strings

Jarlaxle (Electro Vision, Sword, Sumeru): Yeah the sellsword guy is, as you’ve surmised, running a very lucrative merchant/mercenary business out of Port Ormos and making it everyone’s problem.

Character Ascension Material: Vajrada Amethyst

Boss Material: Runic Fang

Local Specialty: Kalpalata Lotus

Character Enhancement Material: Treasure Hoarder Materials

Character Talent Material: Ingenuity

Weekly Boss Drop: Shard of a Foul Legacy

Kimmuriel (Hydro Vision, Catalyst, Sumeru): Kimmuriel got into this business because Jarlaxle talked him into it, he is being very patient putting up with Jarlaxle all things considered.

Character Ascension Material: Varunada Lazurite

Boss Material: Perpetual Caliber

Local Specialty: Padisarah

Character Enhancement Material: Specter Materials

Character Talent Material: Ingenuity

Weekly Boss Drop: Shadow of the Warrior

Rai’gy (Electro Vision, Catalyst, Sumeru): Rai’gy probably still tried to betray Jarlaxle at some point and failed, but I’m not sure Jarlaxle would ever end up in the position to like, roast him alive and Rai’gy is still pretty valuable.  If he is still alive, he’s probably running his own branch of the operation in Liyue, probably with Vierna since the latter doesn’t want to be in Sumeru.

Character Ascension Material: Vajrada Amethyst

Boss Material: Dragonheir’s False Fin

Local Specialty: Violetgrass

Character Enhancement Material: Samachurl Materials

Character Talent Material: Prosperity

Weekly Boss Drop: Tusk of Monoceros Caeli

Valas (Geo Vision, Bow, Sumeru): While Jarlaxle technically runs the merchant and mercenary sides of his business and Kimmuriel is technically his co-leader, the person in charge of the mercenaries themselves is Valas.  When he’s not doing stuff for Jarlaxle he’s hanging around Vimara Village.

Character Ascension Material: Prithiva Topaz

Boss Material: Riftborn Regalia

Local Specialty: Kalpalata Lotus

Character Enhancement Material: Fungus Materials

Character Talent Material: Admonition

Weekly Boss Drop: Daka’s Bell

Beniago (Anemo Vision, Sword, Sumeru): Beniago is in charge of the merchant side of Jarlaxle’s whole enterprise.  He has a permanent residence in Port Ormos but honestly spends more time on his ship.

Character Ascension Material: Vayuda Turquoise

Boss Material: Light Guiding Tetrahedron

Local Specialty: Nilotpala Lotus

Character Enhancement Material: Treasure Hoarder Materials

Character Talent Material: Praxis

Weekly Boss Drop: Mirror of Mushin

Dab’nay (Dendro Vision, Catalyst, Sumeru): Dab’nay has generally been working for Jarlaxle the whole time.  She spends a lot of time in Port Ormos helping Valas and Beniago run Jarlaxle’s fun times enterprise.

Character Ascension Material: Nagadus Emerald

Boss Material: Quelled Creeper

Local Specialty: Henna Berry

Character Enhancement Material: Whopperflower Materials

Character Talent Material: Praxis

Weekly Boss Drop: The Meaning of Aeons

Dahlia (Pyro Vision, Polearm, Snezhnaya): So the only organizations with anything in common with the Thay are the Abyss Order and the Fatui and one of those is more likely to hire Dahlia: the Fatui.  I think Dahlia stayed in the Fatui and the Bregan D’aerthe for as long as it suited her.  She’s moved to other things, if that.

Character Ascension Material: Agnidus Agate

Boss Material: Everflame Seed

Local Specialty: Starconch

Character Enhancement Material: Fatui Skirmisher Materials

Character Talent Material: Gold

Weekly Boss Drop: Dragon Lord’s Crown

On a similar note, Briza, Malice, Vierna, Rai’gy, and Dahlia could also function decently well as Weekly Bosses, with Vierna, Rai’gy, and Dahlia specifically being in a similar position as Tartaglia and Wanderer where they have a Weekly boss and are playable, but this is more gameplay thoughts than lore thoughts so I’ll leave that thought where it is.

I have other general thoughts on ideas like a storyline or even little character notes.  I’ve definitely had ideas for voice-over quotes while working on this.  If I end up writing more for this AU I might post it, and if you have questions definitely ask, I like hearing thoughts on my longform AU concepts.

[darkwingphoenix]

Idea: Have Cinnamon's magical guitar also be a battleaxe on top.

I might actually do this in my AU, except Skylie would make her a Pyro Vision and give her the ability to make her own guitar-axe fueled by the Vision's magic, also giving Cinnamon pyromancy proficiency while she bears the Vision, which she often abuses to infuse her guitar-axe with flames, really giving her the heavy rocker aesthetic with flames and all

This whole concept is based off of an actual Genshin character named Xinyan, who's a rocker like Cinnamon and has a Pyro Vision

Will the Cinnamon becoming a heavy metal musician thing still happen? Because you seem to have deleted the original post about that.

The post is still around on my other blog! I initially deleted it because I was afraid of spoilers, but I've changed my spoiler policy since then.

I definitely still want it to be a thing. I was thinking she'd eventually join the Freelance Good Guys, but she'd use a magical electric guitar as a weapon. She would specialize in telepathy and echomancy. Still working out the details, nothing is set in stone yet!

Ultimately I'm just trying to go into a Beethoven direction with her.

ALIEN STAGE AUS

i wanted to show off me and my boyfriend's Alien Stage AUs because i think they're cool and deserve to be shown!!

tw for: dead dove do not eat! serial killers, child endangerment, codependent relationships, & other disturbing topics. also OC X CANON & most of the canon ships do not exist here. (only mizisua and maybe mizihyuna)

the ocs

Aero - Jude Kira - Nio

Normal World - final year of HS. all of them are a friendgroup!

ivan - rich. most popular guy in school, seemingly nice but extremely harsh with rejection - will be very mean to you. he will attack anyone nio asks him to if nio feels like watching a fight happen, no questions asked. likes to sing in his spare time. he's nice if you're nice, though. nio - ivan's boyfriend who is also known to be possessive of him. he's a mean "girl" trope, harsh, and likes to make fun of people he doesn't like and likes to instigate fights to watch for fun. extremely good singer, but only for his friends. can be friendly too though.

luka - rich. considered very handsome, but the one person who confessed to him in a different school almost got killed (luka lured them to the music room and beat them to near death). he got expelled for that, so he's in a different school now - but his rep followed him. aero - luka's only real friend seemingly. luka defended him from bullies as kids and got expelled over it. the first time luka got in detention, the next day Aero and Kira throw a desk out of the window to purposefully get excluded too so they can sit with him in the exclusion area. he helps them all with styling their hair and doing their makeup, which is his hobby.

till - known as aggressive but just gets easily overstimulated, has hypergraphia due to OCD, gets into fights but is generally nice if you're nice. prefers to spend his days in the music room to practice/write music. cares a lot about mizi as well as jude (but not romantically). jude - kind of closed off and shy, till's known boyfriend. he's nice to everyone, but is protective of till's wellbeing and helps him cope.

kira - rich, already an idol. everyone's friend, but a little cold to strangers.

mizi - the nicest in the group, sua's crush. she helps hyuna with her investigations sometimes.,

sua - goes missing during a getaway, but was mizi's crush before that. in an idol group with kira until her disappearance.

hyuna - already graduated. an amateur detective, especially of cryptids.

Horror movie - college they all go to a getaway in a cabin in the mountains and get hunted by a werewolf + serial killer alien in the area, a year after sua went missing in the same place. humans are dwindling after aliens took over earth.

all same backstories, the only additions/changes are: ivan, luka & nio are serial killers.

ivan - meticulous, plans well ahead, different methods, enjoys it immensely. kills aliens and humans allied with aliens. luka - opportunistic, always has his gear on him just in case. calls aero to help clean up. nio - mostly watches ivan, but likes to pick victims too. he's very impulsive, and anything can make him snap.

sua - werewolf in the woods around

Vampire

aliens = old vampires who take humans and turn them into thralls as kids. now the adult vampire servants each have their own mansion in the kingdom (like game bosses).

the vampire lord thralls: ivan - turned as a child, seemingly kind and always smiling, but quite ruthless if you cross him luka - bred as a vampire thrall, quiet and obedient, but alwaysy watching, always learning sua - turned as a child, obedient, secretly trying to find a way to escape kira - turned as a child, wants to escape

vampire hunters: hyuna - turned vampire as a child but escaped, now hunts them mizi - was saved by sua as kids and managed to escape, is trying to find her again nio - kills every vampire, but his goal is to get to ivan and be turned BY him

other servants: aero - luka's human servant till - a werewolf, kept as "entertainment". always trying to escape and find his friends. jude - till's "caretaker" (friend)

hidden abyss || sagau

masterlist characters: n/a genre: angst contains: sagau/genshin cult au, talks about death summary: the world that once welcomed you with open arms in stripped away from you. notes: ah guess who's been in a chokehold with sagau/genshin cult au again? might write a bunch if i find inspiration parts: [persecution (1)] | [hidden abyss (2)]

you lead yourself to believe that the monsters in the spiral abyss would kill you. you built up the image in your mind of your body being ruthlessly attacked by arrows and pyro slimes. you imagined being beat around by wooden shields and axes while being pelted by electro, hydro, and cryo elements alike.

it was a strange sensation, walking towards your death, that is. unlike in the movies you had seen at home, there wasn't a sense of foreboding or fear in your body. you felt nothing but peace. you had long prepared yourself for this moment since you stepped foot in teyvat.

so when you reached the top of the stairs, ignoring the sounds you would hear from the corridors that lined the walls, you were more than shocked to see a hoard of monsters standing before you, unmoving and far from attacking.

you didn't say anything. in all fairness, what would you have said to them? you weren't just going to offer your life on a silver platter, there was some semblance of self-preservation in you.

luckily, you didn't have to make a decision.

the monsters, namely the abyss mages hovering in front of them, began to float towards you. they stopped just in front of you before moving into a deep bow, their staffs spinning aimlessly beside them.

"your grace," the hydro mage greeted, sending a shiver down your spine.

that title haunted your thoughts ever since you arrived in teyvat. its people would curse you in the name of "their grace" and swear on their name that they would hunt you down.

"please don't call me that," you managed to whisper, prompting the mage to look up at you. the hydro mage seemed to hesitate for a moment before its shield disappeared, allowing it to get closer to you without the bubbling sound of water separating the two of you.

"if... i may ask," it began, bowing its head once more, "is there a reason you would like to be addressed differently...?"

its question was just as hesitant as it seemed before lowering its shield. there was something else it was hiding, that much you could gather.

"you already know, don't you?"

"... of course."

figures. if every person in teyvat knew of your existence, why wouldn't the seemingly omnipotent creatures know as well?

"if i may," the cryo mage chimed in, having lowered its shield as well, "the cretins of teyvat have convinced you that you are not worthy of your title."

"they... what?" you muttered in response. the mage nodded, moving forward to float beside the hydro mage.

"their actions have convinced you that you do not deserve your title," the cryo mage repeated. "ever since your descent on teyvat, they have been worshipping a nonexistent entity. they have turned their back on the true creator."

you could gather what it was trying to tell you, but you were far from accepting it. even though all of the creatures of the spiral abyss, the ones from the corridors lining the stairway included, were standing around you, ready to wait at your beck and call, you couldn't accept it.

"i... i'm sorry, but i think you have the wrong person."

"we can assure you we don't. give us a chance to prove it, your grace."

as soon as the traveler entered the mysterious archway, they found themselves in front of a towering staircase. the floor they stood on was covered in a thin layer of water which made quiet splashing sounds with each step they took.

they summoned their sword once they reached the top, having been met with a few slimes that hopped around the arena.

and with each floor they passed, the more monsters they found at the mercy of their blade. they had grown numb to the cries of the creatures, unbothered as they surpassed each chamber.

there had been a total of twelve floors, each one progressively harder than the last. however, that did not deter them. instead, it fueled them to keep going.

and as the final abyss herald fell to its knees, its weapon clattering to the floor as its body disappeared into yellow sparks, the traveler found themselves climbing one last stairway. the walk was quiet, save for the light sounds of their shoes clicking against the steps.

what greeted them at the top was another room, this one devoid of any monster. instead, a single person sat atop a throne, sobbing into garments.

their body was covered in, what the traveler could only describe as, godly attire. their shoulders were covered in a white shawl that had been decorated with gold accents. the rest of their clothes had a similar design, framing the person in a sort of heavenly aura.

"excuse me?" the traveler called, their words barely escaping their quivering lips. the person on the throne jumped, their cries stopping abruptly as they looked up at the blond(e).

"you..." they muttered before their voice turned into a harsh growl. "you!"

the traveler was frozen in their place, their sword having long dropped from their hand. the person on the throne stood up before walking towards them, each step more menacing than the last.

and when they stood directly in front of the blond(e), a single sentence came from their mouth.

"you have committed a cardinal sin against the creator."

Title: The villain's bride

[ - Cottage (Fem!reader) + Roses (Yandere) + Childe (Genshin Impact) + Chocolate churros (Villain au) - ] - Starlight Anon's ask

Summary: You lost. When you were supposed to save the world from the ice queen's hand, you and the hero's team failed. You were supposed to die, your neck sliced by the ax in front of a crowd but it seems that someone doesn't want you dead.

Additional warnings/tags: healer!reader, fantasy au where the hero saved the world from evil kind of thing (but fails-), manipulation, violence, death of unnamed characters, forced marriage

[ - Fairytale Picnic Event - ]

The white dress was pretty on your body, chosen with a lot of thought and care. The fabric was delicate and soft. You would have been happy to wear this dress. You would have been happy in this dress in the arms of the man you love and cherished...

Yet he was not here anymore, died in the hands of the villainess.

He was supposed to be a hero, he was supposed to save the world from the evil ice queen's wants to take over the world and turn it to ice. The peace she sought was not something other nations wished for...

You thought that with the hero, you would win. You thought if he was here, he would save the world.

But he was stabbed by the woman with a sharp icicle, a glass sword. It went through his heart and gone from the world as he took his last frosty breath.

Your teammates, members of the hero's team soon fell into the woman's clutches unable to beat the harbingers that followed the queen. You were just the same, pushed to the ground and chained.

You thought you would die when your eyes watched the people you once knew killed by your enemies. A blade down their necks... their lifeless eyes stared back at you... the cheers in the background... Your voice became raw as you wished everything ended.

You were the last one.

Yet the end did not come, it didn't wait for you abandoning you when the 11th harbinger stopped your death just as the man raised his swords ready to make a clean cut to your neck.

The words he said to the ice queen haunted you.

He wanted you.

It made you numb inside shocked when you heard what he said. That as a reward for having a hand in defeating the hero and his team he wished for you. The queen's words made your world shatter when you were suddenly dragged back to the castle.

"My you look beautiful in that gown. I did the right choice picking that for the wedding." His amused voice filled the silent room and your sensitive mind. You want nothing to do with him.

You had to listen to the knights who dragged you here tell you how lucky you were to live. The maids who bathe you, dressed you, and gave you food to eat and water to drink told you how fortunate you were to be the wife of a harbinger and to be proud.

"Why did you not let me die?" Was your first words to the man who supposedly "saved" you and brought you back to this nightmare... all alone this time.

"I am your enemy do you find so sort of satisfaction or gratification in making me your slave after taking everything away from me?" You accused, wanting no more than to shout.

"My, I am not so barbarian to do something of that sort. I saved you because I wanted to you to become my lovely wife." His words were coy, mischief in his eyes that you truly despise. "Many people are rather happy that you are saved you should know."

Confusing raised in your mind at his words what did he mean by that... "Who in their right mind would be happy that their enemy is alive."

Childe laughed "Huh didn't think my bride-to-be is that dense. I always thought that she was a bit of a hypocritic." 

It was an insult to you.

"Now now don't glare at me like that I might get hurt. People are all happy that you and I are getting married..." He shrugged, as he took a step towards you. Childe... Childe was his name... or rather Ajax a name he told you long ago.

"They know that you saved me from the hands of death." You held your breath as he walked closer raising his hand to touch the white veil. "Back then after a rather ugly defeat. I managed to get away. Don't you remember to find me you all split up to find me?"

Childe laughed when he saw you froze. You didnt think it had anything to do with that day... That day late at night when the winds howl and there was a heavy storm and in the middle of it an old abandoned castle a battle took place.

"Maybe it was the Tsaritsa's will that you were the one to find me. I was deeply hurt and I almost gave up but instead of dealing the final blow, you healed me. I still remember the hesitant eyes wondering if you were doing the right thing mixed with pity."

Pulling the veil towards him he kissed the clothe as he stared into your eyes, your eyes filled with disgust when you saw how in love he was... "Not only that you healed me just enough to get away and when your team was so close to finding me you lied to them."

The grin on his face was ugly, but he was not done speaking yet.

"It was a surprise when I heard that you also healed many of our people. You know that these people are the same people who could put a spear on the backs of your side yet you healed them? A noble deed indeed, did you get some sort of euphoria acting like a goddess?" It was sudden, your head blanked when you heard his words. Your hand stopped by his, you were so close to slapping him.

Childe glanced at your hand, pulling it closer to his face you tried to pull away when he placed it on his cheek. "Let me go."

"Now now, again don't be too mean." Childe chuckled moving your hand close to his lip and kissing the palm of your hand. You wanted to vomit when you saw this, the feeling of his lips felt repulsive on the skin of your hand.

"It was easy to morph the information around here, spread a few nice rumors here and there and then done. Not really my way of doing things but Punciella really has helped me a lot here. Really everyone was hoping that you would not die a few hours ago, if you were not so shaken you would have heard the relieved sighs." His words shocked you, what did he mean by that… "W-what... What did you do..." 

"Nothing." His sly smile told you so much yet at the same time nothing. You wish saw nothing.

"Get ready my dear. For many are waiting for this occasion, you could already hear the cheers outside waiting for you." Were his last words he left you alone in the cold empty room, as your legs gave out unable to hold your weight anymore. Your eyes were wide as you stare at the floor unable to react.

You didn't notice something warm touching your hands.

Don't forget... not again

Summary: Uhm I decided to write sagau au because I've been reading it a lot lately.... and here's a brief explanation! Reader has stars and galaxies for blood and blood for tears... Reader slowly regains her memories of her being a god but doesn't forget her time in her real world so gets a little crazy and stuff... Warnings: Abuse, mentions of blood, obsessive & ignorant behavior, reader just experiencing stuff ig? Anyways mental and physical torture implied so watch out for that!

what happened?! Where was I going?! Why am I even being chased?! I was supposed to go buy some tomatoes for mother!! While running she mentally cursed whoever the hell 'god' was, because by the looks of it, that dude was the reason she was being chased by a good crowed of what she remembered to be npcs and unreal people who were just mere characters of a game! She cried and cried for someone, blood dripping from her face along with stars and liquid galaxies. Her feet were practically on auto pilot, and the fuel seemed to be her will to live! She didn't even look where she was going. just run. Her mind screamed at her, no way was her legs capable of doing that!

Did I... loose them? You never trusted your instincts and you weren't gonna start now, so without rest you climbed on top of a tree because that's the only thing your physical state could let you do. What... just happened?! Ok sit down, think! Tomatoes, cabbage, pasta sauce and.... No!! Not about the lists y/n! goodness! What happened that I had gotten chased by a whole city?! Did I forget to pay the money for the things I brought?! No! Why would they start a fire a throw it at me for something like that?! More importantly, where am I?! And.... is that a small lamp grass?!

No, no, no please god don't tell me

Am i in... is this a dream?! It was way too real.... I looked around... wolvendom? Ok... this is fine! I'm completely gonna be okay! A- okay! I hope... Well I have to be! But right now I need to think! If.... probably not but.... if i'm actually in genshin..... and these guys are running after me for no reason.... Then will I be able to try almond tofu?! Oh how I always wanted to try it!! wait wait! that isn't the problem! I'm a wanted criminal! I stole the tomatoes and pasta sauce! Am i..... gonna go to jail!?

No way... right?

Well... I'm not going in that direction again though! I thought looking over the water to the tall cathedral and the statue of barbatos... And what now?! Even the day and night move faster than average, if I'm not wrong, in the two hours that I've been here, thirteen days passed! And the big question comes now! I'm hungry... should I eat the very good apples or sunsettias!

And before I could take a bite into the sunsettias it seemed my presence caught the attention of a hilichurl and two mitachurl, axe guy and shield guy! Whoo hoo things are going so well!

why? You might ask, because they had food! good food! As they say desperate time call for desperate measures, I'm gonna eat the god damn hilichurl food because no matter how crunchy these are, I thought looking at the apples, that looks wayy better.! If i could run from a whole city, these guys should be easy game!

I hopped down and dashed toward the pot, and picked it up, fuck! Hot!

The hilichurls stood there still though, but because of the pain I dropped the pot, all over me and burnt myself.

Great, y/n, fucking amazing!

i stumbled up on my feet right after and fell ace first to the ground. The hillichurls said something, but didn't attack. I obviously didn't understand them so I replied "hakuna matata? " I said and they looked at each other and then looked at me "ok, yes bad joke! I know! But uhm... I'm sorry for ruining your dish and uh yeah! So ... let me live?" I said all pride and logic draining from me

They said something again but i didn't understand, I waited for my mind to process the situation and carried out the plan as it was supposed to go! I ran! Like and idiot!

The camp didn't follow me though! That's good.. i guess?

I sighed as I sat down the grass in the shape of a tree "that... just happened" I munched down on another apple God damn it

I started walking again Ok so if I'm here, I pinpointed an assumed location, the wolf guy must be here, and then.... hmm, where should I even go?Dawn winery? Yeah... and then what?! Get my hands cut off because I stole something?! yeah, no!

Think! y/n, think! Well guess there's no time to think! Should've done that instead of eating! Now the knight are back at it again!

"You guys!- whats your problem?!" I groaned and got back up running, running and running... as far as eyes could reach and legs could keep up, we crossed the winery and nearly died every time a bow was shot but luckily, I jumped off a cliff and into the water! Since i was tired I decided to drown a bit before getting back up and running running running.... is it just me, or is the temperature a little...low? As I kept running.... lower..... and oh my god I'm freezing!

please don't tell me this is dragonspine! aish...

No but wait!! "albedo...." I thought He'll help out... he has to! But before I could think of getting to him, i felt like my body was dying. What? Oh... sheer cold, right! I ran up to one of the fireplaces, and sat down sighing..... Tired, so.... tired

~

"Tomatoes.... cabbages... pasta sauce and.... no... i remember.... cheese? No no... something else..." "Half a kilo of potatoes?" A voice asked "Yes!" I said suddenly remembering Wait... what? that - who???

I opened my eyes to come back to dragonspine... are those- slimes?! Oh I never imagined them to be so cuddly! Wait- no! Slimes are dangerous! I have nothing to protect my self! But they aren't attacking???

"Have I .... gone mad?" I asked taking a hand to my head "No.... I want to go home.... " I cried holding one of the slime in my arm, completely forgetting about how they were a threat just a second ago "Why..?"

"Hm... the slimes don't seem to want to attack you. Instead, they are attracted to you? I don't understand? are you a slime in human form?" A cool voice came from behind me What?! Albedo! My chalk prince!

"Albedo! Finally! Someone who doesn't kill me on sight!" I said excited "You have to explain why I'm being killed here!" I pleaded "Hm, that would be because you have the gods face" He sighed "Are you just born with it? Or was it your plan to make a fool out of everybody and think you can get away with it? You must really be stupid if you thought of it like that" He glared down at me summoning his sword Ah... of course... why would he? "Wait wait! At least tell me! Who the hell is this god?! why would I make a fool out of anyone?! I thought I was here because I stole my pasts sauce?! " This comment momentarily stopped his motion "Pasta sauce? Oh you did that as well?" He asked "No! I paid for it! If I remember correctly.... but if I didn't I still can! I have money! There's no reason for me to steal anyway!" "Why should I choose to believe you?" He asked I pulled out fifty dollars, this should be enough! "You can go pay it yourself if you don't trust me that much!" He looked down at the money I had in hand "paper ?" He looked at it "This is a rather boring design, even if you were to sell it, I don't think you'd be able to pay for what you stole" "Design?? Money is money!" I said complaining "this.... is paper" He sighed "Are you kidding me?" I asked Oh... right..... Mora! Mora is the money here....

"I.... I'm sorry, I lost my tomatoes and potatoes and sauce while I was running for my life, so I don't have them with me to return." I sighed looking down "You first take our gods face and try to fool us now you can't even pay back?!" A different voice said from behind me Pallad was circle around the area again. He picked up a rock and threw at me, I covered my face with my hands and tried to dodge but the slime that was with me moments ago took the hit for me.

And it along with its friends (?) went to attack pallad.

Good. I ain't ever helping that fucker again!!

"Hm, the slimes really like you, are you sure you aren't a slime?" Albedo went back to questioning me "If I were a slime I wouldn't talk to you because slimes don't speak human!" I complained "A smart slime?" He wondered "no! Not slime! unlike you, I'm human!" I rolled my eyes

"Huh? How... I mean, what do you mean I'm not human?" He quickly covered up "What- you're a chalk thing aren't you? I forgot the details but, you were some sort of experiment right?" I asked trying to remember "Who- Who told you that?" He asked seemingly surprised "Who told me that? you did!" I said "When? Did you kidnap me and erase my memories? ut I have not been reported missing any day in the past-" Before he starts questioning me on math and shit I decided to cut him off "You told me, on your own, because you wanted to. In the event quest! Do you- Ohh yeah, you told the traveller!" I sighed, that made sense, my face and the travelers face are different so he must've gotten confused! "Traveler? You mean... lumine? She told you?" He asked He had a look of '#betrayed' painted on his face "Wai- No no! Traveler didn't tell me this! I guess you could say... I am the traveler?" i said questioning my own words "If you are not going to tell the truth clearly, I will have to use other means" He said putting his swords tip on my neck

"that was hot though." You said out loud "What?" he pulled back, surprised by that reaction "Uhh, ok listen! I'll put it in the easiest way I can ok? You're not real, nor is this world. You're just fictional characters. And I have no idea how I ended up here. Make it easier?" I said "Seems you don't understand the position you're in to fool around like this" He said pushing the blade a little more so that blood comes from my neck, hurt I took a step back.

He advanced a step and all of us sudden! pusshhh!!! Some lue orb thing covered me and albedo was pushed away!

"Wait what-" I asked my self seeing an abyss mage try to attack albedo. Now that I notice... is that a travelers handy sword?! Dude, why do you even have that on?!?!

goodness.... I think they're talking.... I knocked on the blue glass shield thing, is it sound proof? But since they both turned their heads toward me, I think it isn't I smiled awkwardly "Could you uhm... let me out?" I ask "Please?" I sighed not having any hope but I was let down

"Your majesty!" the mage came running to me "Whoah there... uhm I- I'm sorry ok? I swear I didn't mean to steal the tomatoes!" I said holding up my hands "I know I cant pay for it at the moment, but.. I'll earn! Some how.... I swear!!!" I tried "steal? everything in this world.... is yours! I shall personally deal with any of them who dares charge her highness who-!" Before the mage could finish, albedo cut them off "Your being fooled, if the creator was actually-" He didn't finish his sentence when the mage shut him up "Silence! You... can't see?" The mage asked

"So am I off the wanted list? or..." I trailed off "Your majesty! No! Your not wanted, as in a criminal! Your highness let me take you to somewhere more suitable for conversing" they lowered their head "I- okay uhm.... is this an interrogation?" I sighed... No point going against the police.. they'd shoot you the second they see a chance... but this is a mage! why would a mage question me about stealing!! "What's your name?" Albedo asked ignoring the abyss mage glaring at him "y/n? Y/n..l/n," I said "What- that's not our creators name!" He said arguing "Your highness.... please, this might seem weird the first time" The mage said before teleporting away "woahh" i said before passing out

An endless void, what was it? I can't open my eyes, but I can see, everything, this overwhelming pressure and weight, but somehow it feels natural to me, am I dead? "Child..." A voice echoed The tranquility of the space had been broken and I shot open my eyes from the free space. I wish I didn't...

There was red, everywhere. Not pretty red... the red you choke on. Blood, blood red. that wasn't all, the atmosphere was so different from when I had closed my eyes. It was suffocating, but again, it seemed so natural. There were bodies everywhere, in fact I had been sleeping on a liver for cushion along with what I think is a lung? "You.... could've made better choice" The voice said and my head shot in that direction "You... did not though. You have regrets, so much it weighs you down" The voice had no origin, it came from every where! "I.. don't really" I sighed "A lie!" She said "A huge lie! Who are you thinking of fooling?! I know better than anyone!" After a few seconds the voice announced again "You... who made it all, will now see, that your creation, was an utter failure!" she said and soon my eyes where forced shut.

I was back in the void again but this time I saw myself, much more elegant and dignified than I am, like some.... queen of something I was making something, something similar to a sphere? A globe, perhaps? I tried to move toward the figure but something stopped me "live" the voice sounded so sad.... "Because I couldn't"

She couldn't? But shes so godly.. why?

At that moment all went black and I saw again, the figure of the sleeping woman, she was bored now.... "something...." She said "Why.. am I here?" She moved her hand and slowly drew a line and then another and another... she created a child. how? "Go elsewhere, where you might see and experience something" her voice was a request only, but as if her very existence meant absoluteness, the universe sent the child somewhere.

She was alone, again.

She closed her eyes and opened them, when she did, stars where ever where, all of us sudden, everything was filled... And she seemed so happy, but yet so alone.... "more.... I want to see more..." now her voice was like a plea! Yet the universe took it in and created for her, her very own globe....

And I was forced to close my eyes again

Im back!!!

Imagine chat...with Tommy and Wilbur talking talking through crows Gaslighting reader into thinking they can't fly.

Wilbur: You have to be careful you can't Fly yet

Reader: Wilbur I am Litteraly older than you, I can fly Shut up

Wilbur: By 2 Minutes...

Tommy: I didn't know Big Sis I remember you falling because you can't fly.

Reader: Tommy...Don't do this..We already did this to Phil

Tommy: do what?

Reader: DONT GASLIGHT ME INTO THINKING THAT I CANT FLY

Wilbur: But you can't

Reader: I FUCKING CAN

Chat: Prove it.

I didn't finish watching this stream cause I was so busy but idk if they did successful did it but I'm definitely laughing my ass off cause this could be canon in the soft Au LMAO HAHAHAJAHH

Oh yeah for those who reads my ask then you are in a big surprise cause I have alot Soft Aus of the crossover of my DSMP reader or Should I say MCYT reader soon XD

I won't say why but you'll know soon UwU

Anyways back to the ask 🤣🤣🤣

Yes I can imagine this happening and those two be popping up after reader finishes a build and legit the acolytes are gonna be so confused why is there tow crows that have beanie and one have white and red shirt on it. They see their creator cussing so loudly at them and legit Rubedo is just drinking tea watching this chaos happening HAHHAAHHAHAH

The fact Reader suddenly became the victim of Tommy and Wilbur's friendly chaotic gaslighting when it supposedly to be only Philza but now it's on her HHAAHHAHAH

CHAT IS GONNA GET COOKED WHEN READER SLOWLY GIVES THEM THE FAMOUS SLOWLY MENCING HEADROLL THAG SHE GOT FROM TECHNO KNOW AND THE CHAOTIC DUO BROS BE LAUGHING THEIR ASS OFF SEEING THAT HEAD TURN 🤣🤣🤣

The fact Reader is so done with her brother's shit shit still loves them deeply but she's more biased to Tommy (Only because she loves the loud gremlin energy he emits HAHAHAHHAAH) But honestly if she ever sees her bros after their crows message her like that or they called her in that scenario in Genshin.

Philza is just cheering with Techno in the background as Reader chases her brother with the Axe of Chaos (Her own Axe) to Wilbur and Tommy who running away with screams of terror and laughter.

Acolytes are confused yet amused at the sight XD

I suppose to make this a one-shot but I haven't gotten Tommy and Wilbur's personality right Sorrry DX

But honestly I might make this in my soft Au soon XD

[archived-kin]

caught in a twin courtship

note from kin: i’m going to be honest i only really wrote this because the title is fun to say, so it isn’t as cohesive as i normally would have wanted to make it

(this is an au where the twins aren’t separated by the unknown god! instead, just their world-hopping powers were stolen, and that’s why they’re journeying to find said god - to get their powers back so that they can go home. i’ve also excluded paimon since i kind of forgot about her while writing this haha)

(this doesn’t follow canon at all since reader and the twins just kind of start wandering about after the dvalin incident rather than heading straight for liyue oops)

fandom: genshin impact

character(s): gn!reader, lumine, aether, diluc, venti, jean

pairing(s): aether/reader/lumine

warning(s): i don’t think so??

genre: fluff with a little bit sprinkling of angst

you first meet the twins in the aftermath of the stormterror battle. it isn’t a glamorous introduction by any means - it’s pretty unflattering, actually - but it definitely makes a powerful first impression.

the group - aether, lumine, venti, diluc, and jean - are on their way back to mondstadt city, making small talk here and there, but mostly just walking in silence.

then they hear a yell in the distance.

jean and lumine both drop into a battle stances, venti leaps to hide behind aether with a very unmanly squeak of fear… but diluc, who arguably should have been the most alerted by this occurrence, just gives a resigned sigh and pauses.

a split second later, a figure comes speeding up to the group. you barrel up to diluc and immediately punch him square in the stomach, yelling “why didn’t you tell me you were going after stormterror?!”

aether and venti both give matching gasps of horror at the blatant disrespect, but diluc only shakes his head and catches your fist as it goes for another blow, this one aimed at his chest, and chastises, “calm down, i left a note.”

“i left a note,” you mimic, an absolutely awful impression that has you sounding more like a mosquito than the darknight hero, “fat lot of use that is when you aren’t even telling me where you’re going!”

diluc evades another jab at his arm and firmly sets his hands on both your shoulders, effectively anchoring you to the ground. you contemplate swinging your feet at his knees and knocking him over, or maybe shocking him with your electro vision, but ultimately decide that you might as well try to preserve what little dignity you have left in front of those three people you’ve never met before

so you stop with a defeated sigh and turn to face said three people to introduce yourself

it turns out that you’re diluc’s cousin and he’s been having to baby-sit you for the last few years after your own parents left on a ‘business trip’ to snezhnaya that they’re still not back from

you’re pretty sure they’re dead, killed by the fatui, and you say as much during your introduction without even the slightest sign of distress, which is a little unsettling

lumine’s first thought is that you’re quite the interesting character, what with the casual way you treat diluc, and how you don’t seem to question whatever situation lead you to meet in the first place

aether’s first thought is holy shit, they’re cute

one twin greets you in return with a lot more enthusiasm than the other, and venti the bard wastes no time in asking whether you have access to good master diluc’s wine storage

(you’d be shocked by the audacity if you weren’t just as bad as him when it came to shamelessness)

strangely enough, the fact that aether likes you so much actually makes lumine more wary of you than she was initially

aether trusts too easily, and from experience, that usually leads to disaster - and your flippancy regarding your parents’ apparent probable deaths rather inclines her to think that you might be a very dangerous person indeed

the three of you don’t see each other for a couple of days after that - you and diluc leave for dawn winery together, while the twins depart with venti to wrap their whole situation up, and jean returns to her duties in mondstadt city

all this time, apparently unbeknownst to even himself, aether keeps finding ways to bring you up in the middle of conversation

you’d only spoken to him for a few minutes and somehow that as enough to get him absolutely fascinated

lumine would be lying if she said she wasn’t still curious about you as well, but it gets annoying after aether somehow manages to mention how ‘mysterious’ your black cloak is in the middle of a conversation about why mitachurls are able to randomly set their axes on fire

luckily for these two, they happen to run into you the very next day!

you’re in the middle of taking out a ruin guard stomping around the thousand winds temple -  a ruin guard that the twins had been meaning to take down themselves, which is why they’re here in the first place

at first they move to help you, only to stop short and watch in awe as you plunge down at the ruin guard from atop one of the enormous pillars, your polearm held steady in your grasp as your entire body seems to spark and glow with a deep purple electro energy

the sharp blade of your polearm goes clean through the top of the ruin guard’s head and shatters its core, and it sinks to the ground with a massive thud that echoes around the temple ruins, massive wooden limbs twitching and jerking as the last of your vision’s energy disperses from it

aether and lumine are basically star-struck

from there you spot them and call them over for a conversation, show them how to take apart a ruin guard’s circuits to get at the good parts, and somehow end up agreeing to journey with them across teyvat in their search for an unknown god who stole their abilities to hop from world to world as well as their apparent true power that allows them to wield all seven elements at once

the details are a little lost on you, but what you’re hearing is that you get to go on a cool adventure with a cool gal and a cool lad, so you’re pretty much all for it

diluc isn’t too happy about you up and leaving without so much as two week’s notice (partially because he has literally no friends apart from you and he’d get lonely without his little cousin bothering him all the time) but you simply tell him to deal with it and go anyway

(you do give him a big hug and promise to visit, you’re not heartless)

from then on you, aether and lumine become a dynamic trio like no other

it’s actually pretty damn spooky how well the three of you end of working together

aether and lumine had long since formed a style of fighting that meant they made up for each other’s weak spots and could attack in perfect sync, but then you come along and somehow manage to make their already pretty flawless formation even better

is it witchcraft? they honestly don’t know

considering you fit so well into their battle strategies, it follows that you’d also slot perfectly into their every day life

lumine is cautious at first, wondering if your presence would disrupt her and her brother’s long since pre-established routines, but you fit in so naturally that it’s as if you were there all long

maybe it it’s this that makes both twins slowly start falling for you - the comfort of being beside you and the familiarity that you bring are things that they struggled to find, being trapped in a world far from their own with no way to get out, and they unknowingly latch onto you like drowning men clutching lifebuoys

aether is the most obvious about his feelings - he starts waking up earlier just because he knows you do, sitting beside you as you stoke a campfire and keep watch for any approaching monsters, making quiet conversation as lumine continues sleeping. he tells you stories about his adventures in other worlds, including an encounter with a rather bigoted individual who is the reason that he keeps his hair so long while lumine’s has been cut short

he even starts taking his hair out of its braid before he goes to sleep so that he can ask you to braid it for him when he wakes up

lumine is a lot more subtle

she finds excuses to stand closer to you when, deliberately brushing her fingers against yours when handing you something. she listens far more attentively to you when you speak than anyone else, and she smiles far more in your presence, hanging onto your every word and gazing at you so intensely that it’s almost unsettling

of course, the twins notice each other’s feelings pretty easily

at first neither acknowledges it - it’d be far too messy for both to accept that they’d both fallen in love with the same person, let alone actually admit this to each other

but it gets to the point where it just isn’t ignorable anymore, and finally the twins decide to talk

it’s about as civil and sensible as they could hope for with the subject at hand, and they eventually decide to talk to you about it

and so, we come to an ultimatum. what will your choice be?

if you reject both, it’ll be hard to continue adventuring with twins who can’t look in your direction. neither resent you, of course, but the atmosphere has become so stifling that they can’t even make eye contact

it’s as if an enormous gap has opened up between the three of you. the twins are avoiding each other as well, unsure of how to handle the fact that they’re both in love with the same person and have now both been rejected by that same person. if anything, they should be becoming closer out of solidarity, but it seems that they can’t stand to be in each other’s presence as much as they can’t stand to be in yours.

the three of you still work together as seamlessly in battle as you did before, but once the final monster has been cut down and your weapons are sheathed, that connection seems to disappear again.

it’s aether who finally breaks the stalemate. he starts trying to start conversations as the three of you sit awkwardly apart from each other around a fire, and while the first few attempts end in stony silence and an awkward cough on his part, eventually you begin replying with some semblance of the humour you used to

from there things only improve - the three of you come to a silent mutual agreement to leave this behind you, and soon you’re all laughing and joking as you used to

lumine and aether both know that they cannot force you to love either of them, and they respect your choice. if anything, they’re the ones in the wrong for springing something like this on you so suddenly, and they start to feel a little guilty that they were essentially pressuring you into making a choice that you were never obligated to make

so they return to treating you as a dear friend, just as before. things are different now, of course, but they can only be grateful that you continue to travel with them and stay by their side; this situation doesn’t make them love you any less, even if you don’t love them in the same way.

if you choose lumine, aether will be understanding. the twins have been each other’s only support for longer than they can remember, and as the older brother, he’s well used to giving things up for his sister.

he’ll still be friendly and amicable, but he won’t seek you out as much as he did before. he starts braiding his hair by himself again, and stays in bed as late as he can every morning so that he doesn’t have to be face to face with you. just because he’s accepted this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt.

sometimes, when the sky grows dark and you and lumine have long since fallen asleep beside each other, he wonders to himself - why is it that he has to give everything to his sister? he’s given away so much, so why couldn’t the universe let him have this one thing?

but he knows, deep down, that this is nothing to do with the universe - you simply fell in love with someone that wasn’t him, his sister at that, and he’s struggling to come to terms with it.

he wants to hate you, hate lumine, hate the relationship that the two of you have formed, but he just can’t. he loves the both of you in different ways that are just as important as each other, and he can’t stand to lose either of you. he’d rather throw himself off of starsnatch cliff.

so he’ll smile and bear it, even if it’s a battle to keep himself from breaking down every time he sees the two of you lace your hands together, off in your own little word, so near and yet so far from him.

if you choose aether, lumine will become cold. at first, that is. she’s never been as empathetic as her brother, always holding grudges and developing dislike much more easily. it had taken a lot for her to open up to you in the first place, and now that you’ve rejected her, it’s going to take a while for her to return to the same camaderie with you that she had before.

lumine does not begrudge aether for being the one you chose. if anything, she’s glad - aether is always putting her first and himself second, and she’s happy that he has someone like you, who lights his eyes up in a way that she’s never seen before.

but our hearts often betray our mind, after all, and lumine can’t help but scowl and turn away every time she sees her brother wrap his arms around your waist or press a kiss to your cheek. despite her best efforts, all she can think is why? why did you have to choose him?

she can’t bring herself to hate you, though. as much as it feels like her heart is threatening to split down the middle when she sees you smile and is reminded of something that she cannot have, there is an equal joy in the fact that her brother can be with the person that he loves so dearly. if anything, the two of you deserve to be happy together.

lumine would never do anything that could take that away, and so she forces herself to accept it. it takes several days of tentative conversation and barely held back tears, but eventually the two of you seem to return to the way you were before - all friendly jabs and light-hearted banter and little jokes exchanged over crossed blades.

but lumine knows that your friendship can never be quite the same as it was before. she’ll forever be holding you at arm’s length, terrified to let you get too close lest you see how much your presence affects her. she can’t let you know how much she loves you because she will never be the one who links hands with you as you walk down a long, winding path, or the one who holds you close under a darkening sky filled with stars - because that person is aether, and she would sooner die before she takes her brother’s happiness away.

if you refuse to choose, the twins will be at a loss at what to do. they hadn’t considered this scenario - that you had somehow come to love both of them.

the confusion becomes joy soon enough, though. they realise what this means - they both love you, and you love both of them! isn’t this perfect?

neither are particularly thrilled at the concept of ‘sharing’ you with the other, so to speak, but in the end they both equally want each other to be happy as they want you to be, so the logical conclusion is that they both become your partners.

they’re not too sure how this should work, nor what sort of label to put on it, but they come to you tentatively with the idea anyway

to their joyous surprise, you agree!

and from then marks the point of no return…

aether is definitely the clingier of the two. once he realises that he’s allowed to show affection and be close to you for no particular reason, he won’t stop - it’s as if he absolutely has to be holding your hand or be standing or sitting  as close to you as physically possible. he’s always buying you souvenirs at every place you stop by, scaling trees to pick apples for you when you mention a craving for fruit, presenting you little treasures that he’s found with all the pride of a golden retriever.

lumine is a more subdued kind of partner, preferring to demonstrate her feelings with little things like making your favourite food for dinner or bringing you sprigs of flowers that she’s secretly been collecting in order to present you with them. of course, that doesn’t mean she isn’t physically affectionate at all - she presses perhaps even closer to you than aether when you sleep beside her, and somehow her hand finds yours at every opportunity she has.

the twins clash every now and then, as siblings often do, except that you’re usually caught in the middle. their arguments are little more than playful squabbles, though - things like play-fighting over who gets to hug you first after a well-fought battle, or who gets to hold your hand on the way to the next village (you have to step in and remind them that you do, in fact, have two hands)

in conclusion: why choose one when you can have both and prevent the unchosen from having endless amounts of angst?
