Little baby dew and little baby phantom+ tummy time!!!

They wiggle around like lil worms lol

Anon this idea is absolutely adorable - i want to write a full ficlet revolving this idea at some point but for now have this little drabble :

"Come on, Dewcifer" Copia cooed softly, as the tiny fire ghoul wiggled on his little tummy. "Come to papa!" He continued to speak, over the adorable gurgles of Dewdrop. Phantom chirped behind him, he fluttered on his floor next to Aether.

"Go on little ones, go to papa" Aether chanted supportively. Copia's gentle coaxing filled the room as Dewdrop wiggled happily, responding to the affectionate words. He wiggles into the arms of Copia.

"Good job Dew, you clever boy" Copia continued to softly coo as he hugged the tiny fire kit, clad in his cat onesie. Phantom followed quickly behind him, wiggling on the soft space blankey underneath them . He wiggled around as he reached out to his favourite toys, a colourful xylophone and a bat plushie.

Phantom's joyful chirps echoed in response to Dewdrop's playful exploration. Aether smiled, watching the endearing scene unfold. Copia, cradling Dewdrop, encouraged the tiny quintessence kit as he reached for the vibrant toys. The room filled with a delightful mix of coos, gurgles, and the soft tinkling sounds of the xylophone as Phantom discovered the colourful world around him.

Aether comforting ifrit after he gets overwhelmed. Taking care of everyone else before himself. Can’t stop to ensure he’s doing alright because someone else needs him more. Zephyr has too much to deal with to stop and take of him, they don’t deserve that burden.

But it’s too much, it always is. Standing in the middle of the kitchen after promising to make lunch for the other ghouls, head feels like static, vision tunneled on the sandwich in front of him. And when he drops the butter knife on the floor it just becomes too much.

Ifrit tries to stop the tears before they come, hot and thick welling up at the corners of his eyes. But he can’t. His hand shakes as he picks up the butter knife, determined to finish his task.

And aether sees, can feel that ifrit was on the brink from a mile away. Just quietly takes the utensil from him, shushing him and telling him that it’s not important, that he can’t finish this in his current state, that the others will understand.

And ifrit just collapses into him. The floodgates opening once aether wraps his arms around him, pulling his head into his shoulder.

Regressor Aether and Cg Dragon!Zhongli

Requested by @dragon-queen21

- In his full dragon form, Zhongli's instincts get very strong, so he mostly stays in his half-dragon form with horns and a tail visible. Aether loves cuddling said tail like that long cat plushie when he naps:

He also sleeps on the tail often🧡

- Zhongli has to put up with his horns constantly being tortured by Aether's various toys, like having toy rings put on them or getting them dirty with markers and crayons. His little one swears it's "fashion" and that some Inazuman auntie called Chiori taught him that. Zhongli begs to differ...

- No one, and I mean no one is allowed to get near baby Aether, even Paimon has to keep her distance! Zhongli's little is his treasure so of course he's going to be guarding it. Aether doesn't mind, except when he wants to crawl somewhere and his dada immediately follows, absolutely no free wandering for this lil guy!

- Aether plays with Zhongli's shed scales the way some kids play with dead bugs, that's it I said it

[sodoshame]

if it isn’t to much/if you want to and or have time could I have some little aether hurt/comfort? If not that’s totally okay!!

Hello anon! I hope this is okay! I used this ask to slip in some Omega and Aether since I love them hehe.

Below the cut: Little!Aether, Caregiver!Mountain, Caregiver!Omega, brief description of blood, Aether calls Omega ‘daddy’ (completely innocent), completely SFW like always!

Aether was always the strong one. He was always the one to care for others; he looked after the other ghouls when they were little. He spends so much time looking after his pack, he doesn’t have time to even think about looking after himself.

The quintessence ghoul never let himself slip; he always had too much to do. The only times that it had happened before, it was involuntary; something forced him down into a dark enough headspace that his brain couldn’t do anything else.

-

Aether had been busy all day; Dew wasn’t feeling well so he’d spent all day fussing over him and now, he’s absolutely exhausted. Once the fire ghoul finally fell asleep, Aether realised he hadn’t seen Mountain since breakfast- this, for some reason, gave him a bad feeling.

The quintessence ghoul rushed down towards the gardens, feeling panic rise in his body. From somewhere off in the distance, he hears screaming. Logically, he knows it’s probably just some of the children in the ministry; but a tiny part of him is yelling that it could be Mountain in danger.

He can feel the panic rising, but at the same time, he can feel his head starting to… cloud over, almost.

Aether quickens his pace, his heartbeat getting faster and faster. He can see the greenhouse in the distance, the lights inside still on. Out of nowhere, his foot catches on something wedged in the grass and it sends him tumbling to the ground. Aether feels his knees make contact with the ground and he tries to put his hands out to protect his face, but he’s too late and his face hits the ground too, and he can hear his nose break.

His mind feels heavy and fuzzy all of a sudden and he can feel himself slipping. Aether tries to fight it, trying his absolute best to stay big; what if Mountain needs him?

He brings his hand to his nose, wincing at the pain. He pulls his hand back and sees blood. For some reason, the sight of his own blood makes a sob rise in his throat. He slowly gets to his feet, letting out a whimper as he feels the tears starting to fall. The quintessence ghoul can’t make sense of his thoughts other than one thing; Mountain.

Aether arrives at the greenhouse, stumbling through the door as he lets out a broken sob.

“M-Mount?” He calls out, the nickname taking a lot more effort to say than it normally does.

The earth ghoul comes rushing around the corner, dirt smeared on his cheek and a concerned look on his face.

“Aeth? What’s wrong, sweetheart?” Mountain asked, stepping closer. He sees Aether’s bloody nose and the tears running down his cheeks and immediately pulls him into a hug.

“F-fell.. hurt m-my nose.” Aether stutters, letting out another sob, bringing his arms to wrap around the taller ghouls neck. Mountain immediately catches onto the fact that Aether is regressed; he’d never dealt with him like this before, but he could recognise it from the tone of voice and just Aether’s whole demeanour.

“Oh, honey. Okay, you’re gonna be alright, okay? Let’s.. let’s just get you down to the infirmary, go and see Omega, hm? I’m sure he can fix you right up, sweetheart.” Mountain mumbles, bringing his hands under Aether’s arms and lifting him up with ease. The quintessence ghoul wraps his legs around Mountain’s hips and keeps his arms around his neck.

“G-go see M-mega?” Aether repeats to the best of his ability. He tries to bury his face into the earth ghouls shoulder, but cries out in pain when he feels the pressure against his nose.

“Yes, honeybee. We’re gonna go see Omega. You’re going to be okay, I promise.” Mountain responds, starting off in the direction of the infirmary, keeping Aether rested on his hip, wrapped safely in his arms.

Once the two ghouls walk through the door of the infirmary, Mountain immediately spots Omega and rushes over to him. The older quintessence ghoul looks over, his eyes immediately widening when he sees Aether being carried like that.

“Woah, what happened?” Omega asks, automatically reaching out for Aether.

“I’m not sure, he said he fell. He came stumbling into the greenhouse, sobbing and his nose covered in blood.” Mountain quickly explains, sounding slightly panicked as he hands Aether over to Omega.

“Aether, can you look at me, love?” Omega questions as he takes him from Mountain, sitting him down on one of the beds. As soon as the younger quintessence ghoul looks up, Omega recognised the look in his eyes; he’s seen it before.

“M-m-” Aether stutters, fresh tears rolling down his already tearstained cheeks.

“Shh, my little quint. You’re okay. I’m gonna make you feel all better, okay?” Omega coos, bringing a wash cloth to Aether’s face, gently wiping off the blood from around his nose.

“H-hurts-” Aether whimpers.

“I know, baby. I’m sorry.” Omega whispers as he finishes wiping the blood from the younger quints face. He then hovers his hand over his face and focuses his mind, using his quintessence to dull Aether’s pain.

After a few seconds, Aether visibly relaxes, letting out a relieved sob as reaches out to Omega.

“D-daddy-”

“I’ve got you, baby. You’re okay, I’ve got you.” Omega coos softly as he sits next to Aether on the bed and pulls him into his lap, wrapping his arms firmly around him. The older quintessence ghoul looks over at Mountain who’s still stood there, watching them.

“I’ve got him, Mountain, it’s alright. You can go.” Omega says softly, offering the earth ghoul a reassuring smile.

“Are you sure? I can stay-”

“I’m sure. Go and get some rest, okay?” Omega cuts him off, gesturing for him to leave. Mountain nods and leaves the two quintessence ghouls alone.

Aether’s sobs seemed to have finally died down now that he’s not in pain anymore. He let’s out a little whine and presses himself further into Omega’s embrace.

“You okay? What do you need, baby?” Omega asks, bringing his hand up to stroke through Aether’s hair.

“N-need you.” Mumbles the younger ghoul.

“I’m right here, love. I’ve got you, okay? Everything’s alright, sweetie.” Omega coos, pressing a gentle kiss between Aether’s horns.

“T’ank you, d-daddy.” Aether whispers in response, nuzzling into him.

Hi! Can I request a cg moodboard of Aether from Genshin Impact?

the sibling i picked the first time i played genshin ages ago ;—; nowadays i can't even play without feeling motionsick so i gave up SHHDKSKSKSK

[azuresky-agere]

Firstly I stumbled upon your blog and I love it so much. I just started getting into Genshin Impact so while I may no know all of the characters I find that the ones I do know your writing is so comforting.

Secondly I was wondering if I could request a mini fic with regressor Aether. Bit of an angst idea here, Aether overworking and over tired, regressing without realizing and it takes Venti telling him to stop and take a break and that he will look watch over him for Aether to realize just how much he needs one

OKAY OKAY OKAY

First of all- it's been a while since my last minific, I know...I've just not been fully motivated to write in general because I'm generally busy with exams this month but thank for for your nice comments !!! waking up this morning to like, 20+ notifications of one person liking my blog is GENUINELY insane so thank you hehe <3

(also yes this is an image, i could NOT find an aether gif for the life of me)

Little!Aether, CG!Venti - Aether being overworked, and Venti telling him to take a break.

"There's still a long road ahead." - Aether, "Joining Party" voiceline.

─ 𖥔 ─

With the addition of the Serenitea Pot, Aether's life should've gotten way more easier.

With Paimon out at Wanmin Restaurant for the day, and his adventures on a halt to catch his breath after saving yet another nation, it's safe to say he had nothing to do. The first few hours of his day were dedicated to cleaning. He cooked for what little people rested at the teapot the previous night, the bookshelves were clean, and he was positive that any more attempts to clean and dust would make him go insane.

He could feel a tantrum bubbling in his core- a trait which only happened when he was regressed and angry about something big. But...he felt big now. He had to be big- and being regressed was stupid, anyways.

"Yahoo, Traveller!" a cheery voice called out. It was Venti. After a few seconds, he descended the stairway, and wrapped Aether in a hug. That hug did not help him remain big. Aether hugged the bard back, albeit a bit clumsily. "How are you today? Where is your little travelling companion?"

Aether huffed, but it really sounded more like a whine. It hadn't been good. "Paimon is at Wanmin, an' i got nothin' to do..."

Venti hummed in confusion. "That sounds like a bad thing."

"It is!" Aether whined. "I wan' do stuff, but m' tired..."

"Then you should nap, silly!" Venti said. "Or...is there something else going on?"

Aether stared at the floor as if it held the secrets to giving his sister back- that's all he wanted from this world- Lumine. Sure, he had a stuffed animal upstairs called Lumine, but he still wanted the real thing back. When she came back, he'd hug her tight, and never let her go, ever.

Well, that was an exaggerated statement- restricting his sister's freedom would never happen, but he was small, and everything felt floaty and too exaggerated for him to think right.

"Small." he mumbled, wrapping his arms around him. He didn't even know if Venti knew what regression was- and if he did, Aether expected to be yelled at, and-

"Oh, you're a kiddo right now?" he cooed. "Hello, sweet thing!"

Aether glanced at Venti, gasping- almost similiar to how a toddler would. Granted, he felt younger than that right now, but still. "You know...regression?"

Venti nodded, a soft smile on his lips. "Diluc helps me be small, butttttt it seems like you need some help relaxing, yes?"

"Mhm!" he nodded. "Been workin' super duper hard!" he giggled, trying his best to stifle a yawn. "Hard to do nothin'...feel bad."

"Well, let's talk about being overworked when you're much bigger, hm?"

Aether nodded, watching curiously as Venti bent down to Aether's level. "Now, do you want to snuggle up in your room and relax-" he held out his left hand. "Or do you want to have a picnic outside?" with that, he held out his right hand. "Your decision, kiddo. You can even nap if you want."

Aether dwelled on the question. He had...an option? And none of them had him doing overwhelming combat for horrible pay? Quietly, Aether held Venti's left hand, using his free hand to suck on his hand. With a giggle, Venti lifted Aether up, letting him rest on his hip.

"Well, let's go!" he smiled. "Maybe you can introduce me to your stuffies, hm?"

some tiny/regressed dew!? 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Of course <333

I added some caregiver Aether too, if you don't mind :>>

When It Rains It Pours

Summary: A bad thunderstorm wakes Dewdrop in the middle of the night, and finds Aether half asleep on the couch in the ghoul common room.

Words: 600

Pairings: Regressed Dewdrop and Caregiver Aether

CW: mentions of a thunderstorm

Dewdrop rose with his heart pounding, a sickening cold chill seeping down his spine  as the roaring thunder echoed loudly in his room. The sound of laborous rain pounded on his bedroom window. He tried to breathe, to calm himself but any efforts proved to be futile, as the storm barked ferociously, like a lion hunting its prey.

He stepped outside his bedroom, and tiptoed himself into the ghouls common room, where he was met with Aether, who was sprawled on the couch, deep in the transcendence between sleep and wakefulness. Dew turned on a soft light, careful to not startle the ghoul on the couch.

His hands shaky, he held onto his pajamas, as he anxiously pranced on the spot, wiggling his knees and flapping his elbows. He hesitated for a moment, before softly speaking

"Aether?"

Aether roused awake, concern raging in his eyes, as they fell upon the ghoul standing anxiously in front of him. He sighed, as he gestured for Dew to join him on the couch, seemingly notice the change.

"Are you...feeling small right now, Dew?" Aether asked, and a quick nod was all it took to confirm.

"I'm...scared, Aeae, can...I stay with you for a bit?"

"Hey, little droplet" Aether whispered, his voice flourishing with softness and comfort "you can stay here all you want"

"It's just a storm. We're safe here. You can be as small as you need to be right now."

He started to draw circles with his quintessence on Dew's palm, as he felt Dew relax slightly with his touch.

"...can...we...fire...and...cuddle...Aethy?"

"Yeah, of course, droplet" Aether lies down on the couch, as he lets Dewdrop rest his head against him, letting him listen to his heartbeat and the way his chest moved up and down.  Dewdrop, finding comfort in the cadence, closed his eyes, letting the sounds of the storm outside blend with the soothing presence beside him.

Aether gently stroked Dew's hair, his fingers moving in a rhythmic pattern, a gesture that attempted to calm the anxious ghoul down. The fire continued to dance, casting shadows that painted a serene tableau in the common room.

As Dewdrop rested, he still raised his head with every flash of light that filled the room, only to be gently guided back to Aether's chest as he had words whispered into his ear "breathe, little one, breathe, we'll weather any storm together, droplet."

"Aethy?" Dewdrop voiced himself, as he grabbed Aether's shirt

"Yes?"

"Thankies, Aethy, I love you"

"I love you too, darling" was Aether's response.

"Can you...tuck me in bed? I want...sleepy"

"Yes of course, darling" Aether's voice carried a delicate tone. He gently took Dew's hand and guided him to his room, he  lightly laid him on his bed. He covered the little ghoul with his favourite blankies, and planted a kiss on his forehead. The storm still rumbled on, but he felt a lot safer with the quintessence ghoul around him.

"...paci" Dew mewed, as he snuggled warm in the blankets.

"You want your dummy, firefly?"

Aether nodded, smiling gently. "Alright, let me grab it for you." He fetched Dewdrop's pacifier and handed it to him, his eyes glimmered as he noticed Dew gingerly flap  his hands with delight.

"Sleep well, little one."

Dewdrop nodded, his eyes heavy with drowsiness. "G'night, Aethy."

As Aether left the room, he glanced back one more time, ensuring Dew was settled. The storm continued its symphony outside, but within those walls, a quiet warmth enveloped the room.

Aether sighed, and turned around. He crawled into the bedsheets, snuggling Dew against his chest, as Dewdrop filled the room with light purring, which transitioned into an eloquent snore. Aether held Dewdrop close, their silhouettes faintly visible in the soft glow of the room.

Aether regressing?

Aether regressing for the first time is absolute chaos, nobody knows what to do. He drops and hides because he was in the middle of a panic attack and it takes hours to even find him.

It’s Blood Moon, who has been hiding in the theater basement, who sniffs him out and the twins just hold him because Aether clings onto them and cries and shakes and he’s just so terrified the twins would feel bad scaring him to preserve their hiding spot.

The other daycare attendants are in complete panic because they can no longer find their new brother. Aether had been screamed at by an angry parent and it reminded him of his old ex-brothers. Aether had ran off having a panic attack and they just cannot find him due to pickup being complete chaos, which Aether disappeared into. They have no idea Blood Moon is in the theater basement rocking Aether and shushing him and assuring him that he’s safe now.

Blood Moon eventually carries poor little Aether up to the daycare half-asleep and clinging onto them for dear life. Aether is in full babyspace, and he whines and unhappily squeaks when Bloody transfers him to Moon, who can carry little Aether much easier.

Aether clings onto Moon immediately, just snuggles right in and Moon, Sun, and Lunar are so relieved to have Aether back and safe that Sun hugs Blood Moon with relief and thanks for taking care of him.

Blood Moon becomes Aether’s favorite person while he’s small. Blood Moon happily takes on this little one, Aether is their favorite child to care for. He’s very sweet and giddy and they are very gentle with him and let him cling to them and snuggle up to them.

Blood Moon just absolutely showers small Aether with toys and stuffies and pacis and love and attention. Blood Moon pins every single picture little Aether draws onto a wall. Ever single one. They cherish all of them.

Anther gets regular tickles and raspberries when he’s small, Blood Moon usually leaves little Aether a squealing little puddle of baby that clings on for cuddles after tickles.

Regressor Aether and Cg Dainsleif Hcs!

Requested by @dragon-queen21

Cw: diapers

- Dainsleif and Aether have a mostly long distance relationship due to both of them travelling often. Because of that fact, Dainsleif always makes sure his baby has an "emergency cg" nearby in case he isn't there to take care of him. If there's really no one vailable, baby Aether hangs out with Katheryne of the nation he's in for the day!

- Aether loves listening to stories about his sister before bedtime. Dainsleif tells him whatever he can (and what's not too gruesome for a baby). In return, Aether tries to describe his adventures to his Dada despite not really knowing how to speak when regressed. He babbles a lot and Paimon helps with the translation :D

- Dain is often conflicted whether to let Aether fight monsters when the latter is regressed - it's definitely hard to stop him from doing so! The baby loves poking hillichurls and whopperflowers with his toy sword. For now the agreement is that Aether can only fight with slimes when Dain isn't there to supervise him

- Both Dainsleif and Aether are medically padded, additionally Dain is a disabled caregiver!
