#dawn winery project

[yuriisclumsy]

Quick update on how the Dawn Winery project is doing!

Going smoothly, we already have the plan, we're just trying to figure out how big we want it!

We also want to buy a laser to get everything done faster.

[sl-vega]

Hi Vee, I would like to request a sick! gn reader with some of the genshin characters (Yae Miko, Wanderer, Albedo, and Kazuha) where reader can’t really talk all to well cause of said sickness. What sort of shenanigans would ensue as our dear reader tries to communicate. It’d also be really cool if the reader knew a bit of sign language and tried to communicate that way (your choice on whether the characters know it or don’t). Have a lovely morning/day/evening!

NOW I'M (LOVE)SICK

pairings: Yae Miko, Albedo, Wanderer, Kazuha x [GN!] Reader

genre: fluff, established relationship, headcanons/drabbles, canon compliant, sick! reader, reader knows sign language

synopsis: in which your s/o tries their best to make you feel better since you've fallen ill

CW: mild language, potentially ooc, vee doesn't know how to do headcanons so you have been warned

additional notes: lol perfect timing for this request cuz I'm actually sick rn // header credits: yae header by @/k1aya on pinterest, albedo header by @/kuno on pinterest, wanderer header by @/ggoldiz on pinterest, Kazuha header by @/detailuffy on pinterest

YAE MIKO-Divina Vulpes

miss girl would be babying you 100%

kinda acts more like your mom than your s/o in this case tbh

"I told you not to go adventuring in the rain!" but then she goes back to saying shit like "aww you poor thing~, let me get some soup for you"

yae would also tease you too, cuz yk, she's yae miko

since she's not human, I don't think she can get sick, well not any human diseases at least

she tries her best to be there for you though, probably reads a bunch of light novels from her publishing house to help you fall asleep

if you try to communicate via sign language to her, she probably just hushes you and grabs your hands so you stop frantically making hand signs

cuz she wants you to get your rest

I think she does know a little sign language, but she never really committed to learning it, she'd gladly start for you though

ALSO

i think she'd turn into her fox form and let you cuddle with her like she's a stuffed animal

totally not projecting rn

ALBEDO-Princeps Cretaceus

he'd def send sucrose over to check on you if he's busy, but once he's done with his work, he is SPRINTING over to check on you

✨he's a runner he's a track star✨

maybe it's just me but I feel like Albedo would be the type of boyfriend that worries over you a lot

when he does come over, he probably has lots of concoctions that are supposed to clear your throat, but they're probably made of...

less than delicious materials

and you aren't becoming your boyfriend's personal test subject no thank you, not today

since he has a little sister, he knows how to take care of you

probably has experience cuz klee would get super sick after running around in the rain for too long-

makes you chicken soup, and tea, the usual

if you try to communicate with him via sign language due to losing your voice, he'll probably have the same reaction as yae

just forces you to go back to sleep

he def knows sign language (mr. genius🙄) but he wants you to get better as soon as possible

klee also comes over at some point, probably tells you some crazy story about how she tried to blow up dawn winery with diona or smth-

her and Albedo also make some get well cards for you once you fall asleep as well <3

WANDERER-Peregrinus

this mf

if you've heard his voice lines you already know what this bastard would say to you

he'd call you weak and say shit like "a small illness has already rendered you helpless? how pathetic..."

THE FACT I CAN PERFECTLY HEAR HIM SAY THAT-

he's a puppet so he's never been sick cuz he can't get sick either

nahida would probably slap him and scold him and tell him to be nicer though

on the inside he's super concerned about you

lowkey, he's afraid of losing you

not that he'd ever admit it-

(tsundere scara for the win)

he's worried that you're going to end up like the child he used to live with, and that you'll become "powerless before your mortality" as he'd like to say

same as yae + albedo, if you'd try to communicate with him via sign language he'll tell you to sleep

(in a slightly aggressive way but he's scara what do you expect?)

i don't think he knows sign language at all tbh

he'll ask nahida about it and he'll probably start borrowing books from the akidemiya and practices in secret for you

he WILL ruin his sleep schedule for you but he'll probably just brush it off and be like: "meh, it was easy."

when in reality this mf has spent an AGONIZING amount of time just to try and impress you

he'll make you tea too, the bitter kind

the VERY bitter kind

oml this sounds like scara slander 😭 dw I actually really like him

KAEDEHARA KAZUHA-Acer Palmatum

like albedo, he'd be super worried about you

tells beidou that he needs to make sure you're okay before the crux leaves for it's next destination

brings you tea, soup, and writes cute little love poems for you while you rest in his lap

tells you stories about his travels while holding your hand and sappy stuff like that

kazuha is a top tier boyfriend fr fr

unlike the others, if you tried to communicate with him via sign language, he let you teach him certain phrases

i think he knows a little bit due to his travels so he's picked up on a bit of it

he thinks it's really cute of how you try to explain things to him since you can't speak so you probably alternate between the hand signs themselves and pen and paper

VERY attentive to you

"slow down love, we have all the time in the world."

VANITY | vampire! genshin characters x reader

note | trying something new here! we’re going for multi-chapter, multiple characters x reader, and you get to choose your route! hopefully this goes as planned 😔 general trigger warnings for blood and biting in a (mostly) non-sexual manner.

SYNOPSIS | you receive a letter from a mysterious admirer, inviting you to an exquisite gala. when you arrive, you find various suitors waiting for you— but there’s a catch. they’re all vampires!

first chapter (you’re here!) / next / previous

Dear Y/n,

You have utterly captivated me. Your charms are like the sweetest incense, drawing me nearer like a moth to a flame. When our eyes meet, my heart erupts with joy in a way that words cannot describe. Simply writing to you makes my hands shake in wistful longing. The quill in my hand is as restless as I; and I hope my penmanship is legible. (It would be my worst shame to write to you and have you not be able to read it) Now allow me to get on with the real point of this letter.

I formally invite you to the Dawn Winery next Saturday evening to enjoy a delicious wine tasting and incredible live music. As it is a masquerade, please dress in appropriate attire. I propose a game to you as well— if you can spot me in the crowd, I’ll give you a sweet surprise.

Yours in secrecy,

Your secret admirer.

The love letters were new. You were used to odd trinkets: windwheel asters, berries, a honeyed ale or tasty biscuit. Never had you received such a flowery parchment. Flush rose to your cheeks, tinting them red as you stood on your doorstep. You shook your head, pushing back inside. Sure, it was true that sometimes you stayed awake at night, thinking of who could be behind the gifts. A rich nobleman? A sweet farmer’s son? A librarian, a fisherman, a baker? At times like these, you longed for the touch of your admirer. The country of Teyvat was large, but the incoming fesitival at the Dawn Winery drew in travelers months in advance. Your admirer could be from any reach of the nation! Could they be from your hometown of Mondstat, or the farthest reaches of Inazuma? You would have to find out yourself, should you attend the wine tasting.

Who were you kidding. You were already gathering money for a masquerade mask.

please reblog my work! i spend lots of time on my projects, and it really helps me out :) tagging @ilyuu and @hobieist bc they helped me finalize the ideas for this series!

[starsnatched-cliff]

wrote a little mond siblings snippet bc i'm busy with school and projecting onto them haha

kaeya & diluc are 14, barbara is around 9

------

The next time Barbara comes stumbling into Dawn Winery, it’s with a frown on her face. Diluc knows this because he rounds to corner to hear Kaeya consoling her, and snippets of their conversation drift near through the wind: 

“—they’re all like that. You know, ever since Diluc became Cavalry Captain, he’s barely spoken to the rest of us outside of mealtimes.” 

Barbara digs her fingers into her dress, petulant. “But you get to be in the Knights with him! And Jean!” She seems on the verge of tears as she says her sister’s name. “He might be more busy, but you still— you still get to spend time with him!” 

He pauses in his steps, hanging back so that he’s just short of greeting them. Barbara— Ever since the sisters’ parents divorced, their friend group hasn’t been the same. He knows how to comfort his little brother, knows how to read upset on his father’s face, but he doesn’t know how to help with this. 

Kaeya leans down—he hasn’t hit his growth spurt yet, but he’s still a good foot taller than Barbara—and pulls her into a tight hug. He whispers something between them that Diluc can’t hear. 

“Alright, ‘Luc,” he laughs, pulling away. “Stop spying on us and come over here.” 

Diluc huffs, walking over. Of course he’d noticed. He gives Kaeya a light shove, but turns to Barbara with a serious expression. “I’ll… I’ll try and talk to Jean about it. We are busy, but I know she wants to spend time with you, too.” 

At that, she beams. “Really?” 

“Yeah,” he grins. “I promise.”

The Steambird - A Recap Spanning Roughly 10 Days!

Kaeya is still stuck on the mountain freezing to death with lisa. But hey, at least now diluc finally got to dragonspine after like.. two weeks. They are now finally descending down the mountain. Kaeya is still freezing to death.

Alas! Winery Owner Finally Manages to Make it up the Mountain to Save his Adopted Brother!

Kaeya Alberich, the Knights of Favonius’ Cavalry Captain, being still stuck on Dragonspine with Lisa Minci ultimately freezing to death with his Knights of Favonius colleague, is finally getting down the mountain!

Diluc Ragvindr finally made it up to rescue the two KoF members. He is now descending down the mountain with his adoptive brother in arms and the librarian trailing behind him as they rush towards the camp near the base of the mountain.

Kaeya, however, appears to be in quite the serious condition.

Will Kaeya pass from hypothermia? Or will Ragvindr and Minci be able to rescue the Cavalry Captain?

Everybody here at the Steambird waits in anticipation of the results. We hope Kaeya will make it out alive!!

Diluc still hates the fatui and continues to squabble with UTA.

Esteemed Dawn Winery Owner.. Continues to Squabble with Fatui Harbinger Clone as Would a Cranky Old Married Couple.

That’s it. That’s the story.

Kaveh gets confronted on having not taken care of himself as of late and anons scold him and attempt to make him take care of himself more

He is currently opting to hide out in a ruin for the next century like how madame faruzan accidentally got stuck in a ruin for 100 years.

Anon threatens to call his friends TIghnari- a forest ranger, Cyno- the general Mahamatra, and Scribe Alhaitham. (which I continue to believe is entangled in some affair with the architect!)

Famed Ksharewar Architect Accused of not Taking Care of Himself.. and Being in a Relationship with the Former Acting Grand Sage of the Akedemiya?!

Kaveh, a famous architect from the Darshan of Ksharewar, was called out by an anonymous user for having not properly cared for himself!

In an ask, an anon questions him with a truth or dare question.. but regardless skips all casualties and asks a question anyway. Specifically asking how many hours the Architect has slept this week.

Kaveh reluctantly answers by counting off of his fingers.. and ending up with less than even a whole hand with fingers up.(Meaning that he’s slept for less that five hours.)

The anon then gives him a dare: go to sleep.

Kaveh instantly denies his lack of sleep and argues against the not so accusation, protesting that he for one has no eye bags and is perfectly sane and has projects to finish nonetheless.

The anon threatens to call the former Acting Grand Sage, Alhaitham, to which Kaveh is flabbergasted and demands to ask why Alhaitham of all peo

Nobody seems to believe that one though.

After some back and forth and a few threats of calling the Architects friends(the General Mahamatra, Forest Ranger Tighnari, and of course, the Former Acting Grand Sage/Akedemiya’s scribe, Alhaitham), Kaveh admits that if he must go into hiding, he says he’s thinking of going to go hide out in a ruin for the next century.

(much like how Madame Faruzan, Senior in Haravatat was stuck in a ruin for a century solving puzzles.)

Madame Faruzan pops in to ask what’s going on and Kaveh asks her to help him out.

..nevermind the anons wasted no time telling her his lack of self care.

Arataki Itto, leader of the Arataki gang, is once again scolded by his colleagues, Kuki Shinobu, the deputy leader, and Takuya the blue oni, the.. Uh.. other member. This time being for having a poster of his face plastered on a billboard in Ritou. Which, without a permit, is pretty illegal. So Kuki Shinobu tries to reprimand Itto by telling him to go take it down, but he denies saying it was his pet bull, Ushi, who put up the poster. Takuya ended up taking it down anyway.

Arataki Gang Leader Illegally Decorates Ritou Billboard.. What? What do you Mean it was his Cow?

Arataki Itto, leader of the Arataki Gang, was questioned by Arataki Gang deputy, Kuki Shinobu, of why there was a poster on a billboard in Ritou with a scrawl of Itto’s face posted illegally.

Friends of Arataki Itto, both Takuya the Blue Oni and Kuki Shinobu, question why the seemingly self portrait is up on the billboard without a permit.

Itto pops into the discussion and when the two demand for answers, he frantically blames it on Ushi. Which, despite the headline, is actually a bull.

That’s right. Arataki Itto blamed an illegal act of posting something on a billboard without a permit on the poor bull as tall as his knee.

Naturally Takuya and Kuki Shinobu did not believe his protests.

Itto flees the scene and Takuya chases after Itto.

Takuya later caves and takes the poster down himself.

Hat Guy of Vahumana learns to break out of his shell and befriends a child named Malak and now they have matching hats! How cute.

Hat Guy Softens Up for the like.. Third Time in Genshin-Official History

There’s not a lot to cover, but essentially, a small child who lives in the Birmastan steals Hat Guys hat and after returns it. The two then become friends of sort and after a recommendation from Lesser Lord Kusanali, Hat Guy takes the child, then revealed to be named Malak, to the Grand Bazaar.

Malak now has a hat.

The two now match.

Isn’t that cute?

Bennett, an adventurer notorious for being incredibly unlucky, lost his boots. Chief Alchemist Albedo and popular bartender Diona of the Cat’s Tail report that they saw them at the gates of the city.

Unlucky Adventurer Somehow Loses His Boots. Like, the Ones he was Probably Wearing. How Does That Happen?

Bennett, an adventurer from Mondstadt notorious for being incredibly unlucky but nonetheless cheerful and pleasant overall, lost his boots.

When? A few days ago. How? No idea. Where? Dunno. Where were they(the boots) found? Well, Bartender Diona, while apparently gathering dandelions near the city gate to make her next big concoction, spotted the boots near the city gates.

Albedo also says he saw the boots by the city gates.

How did the boots even get there in the first place?

I suppose only Celestia has the answer to that one..

Nameless bard confesses to having placed flowers around the City of Mondstadt. While it did look nice temporarily, it wasn't very great to clean up afterward. Diona expressed her displeasure at having to clean up after her boss, Margaret, owner of the Cat’s Tail, made her clean it up. She reluctantly forgave the bard anyway and moved on with her day.

Ghost from Mondstadt Revolution Confesses to Placing Flowers Around Mond City. Here’s the Aftereffects.

Nameless Bard, a ghost from the Mondstadt revolution who is notorious for belting out sick comebacks, admitted to encouraging the children of Mondstadt to go spreading flowers all over the City.

He did this after another very alive bard, Venti, came out to make sure nobody assumed he encouraged the children of this.

Adventurer Bennett was rather surprised that people were unhappy about the array of flowers all around the city and thought to himself that the flowers had looked nice.

Sister Barbara of the Mondstadt Cathedral and popular idol didn’t really mind the flowers and laughed it off.

Diona of the Cats Tail on the other hand was rather upset because apparently owner of the cats tail, Margaret, had made her clean up the flowers around the tavern.

She shortly after waves it off though.

Arataki Itto tries to eat Sangonomiya Kokomi, the Divine Priestess or Watatsumi Island’s fish friends. Much to her horror.

Gang Leader Itto Eats Fish. Watatsumi Island Head Priestess is Appalled.

Sangonomiya Kokomi, the head priestess of Watatsumi Island, had quipped about how cute and fascinating fish are.

Arataki Itto, leader of the Arataki Gang.. being Arataki Itto, leader of the Arataki Gang, said and I quote, “Fish, Nomnomnomnomnomnomnom”

Sangonomiya Kokomi was appalled and cried out for him to stop since she sees the fish like her children. She said, “fish are friends, not food.”

Zhongli from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, agrees with the Divine Priestess, saying that fish are not food.

Arataki Itto, for once, makes a good argument and gives the example that a dish such as Squirrel Fish exists and that fish are indeed food.

Zhongli starts talking about fish texture and Itto becomes utterly confused.

To this day, he still remains confused.

Chief Alchemist Albedo officially sets out for Sumeru and unexpectedly, Bartender Diona tags along.

Mondstadt Chief Alchemist Officially Sets out for Sumeru.. And Takes a Cat With Him.

Albedo, Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, officially sets on a journey for Sumeru.

Probably for Nilou, esteemed dancer from Zubayr Theater,’s picnic.

This picnic was announced about a month ago and people from Fontaine to Mondstadt will be attending. It seems like quite the event.

While Albedo announces he’ll be going, Bartender Diona from the Cats Tail, practically clings onto his leg, demanding to come with him.

She apparently is sick of her job and wants to get out of Mondstadt.

Albedo let’s her come with him, and the next morning they set out for Liyue, a pit stop they will stop at before heading into Sumeru.

[cl0udy-b3ans]

Did anyone order Diluc humping a pillow? No? Well, I made it anyways. You can’t tell me he isn’t at least slightly lonely with how little time he has for anything besides his job

Title from one of the game soundtracks

Teyvat Undead: Sucrose's Notes

Log 7-22-20XX.1

This is Sucrose – Assistant Alchemist of Project Chrysalis – logging in. I decided to start making logs in order to keep track of information. It'll be easier to update as we gain knowledge about everything that's happening. Should anything happen to me or the other researchers, this will be.. will be... nevermind. I shouldn't be dwelling on the negatives.

We should probably start from the beginning... when the disease broke out. The cause of the diseases.. isn't clear as of now, but many of the cases took place in Galesong Hill and Falcon Coast. Some of the survivors claimed something in Brightcrown Mountain was causing them, though none of our operations are capable of venturing that far from Mondstadt City. They could've seen something there that would help us turn the tides but without enough resources and with the current state of the city's defenses, it's something we need to set aside for now. 

Mondstadt City was put on lockdown a few hours after the first case was filed. Thankfully, Jean had made the right call before the infected reached the city walls. The people from Springvale were evacuated, as well as Diluc and his workers at the Dawn Winery. The Adventurers' Guild in Mondstadt is halted temporarily. It's getting dangerous for citizens to leave the city with the infected on the prowl. Since the outbreak, Jean split the Knights of Favonius into three groups: the Garrison, the Reconnaissance, and the Researchers. 

The Garrison is composed of knights, architects, and strategists that make sure the infected don't make their way inside of Mondstadt City and make sure no one is able to sneak out. Kaeya and Noelle are both in charge of making sure the defenses are impenetrable. Although, sometimes a few other Mondstadters offer their assistance. I couldn't tell who.. I heard one of the nuns at the Favonius Cathedral was spotted lurking about the East Gate but maybe that was just drunken hearsay. Kaeya also mentioned something about a “Darknight Hero” in our ranks. Hmm.. I wonder if that's a euphemism for anything... 

The Reconnaissance consists of soldiers, surveyors, and adventurers tasked to patrol outside of Mondstadt City to obtain information to help the researchers understand the nature of the infected and to monitor the areas affected. They’re tasked to observe the infected up close, as well as gather samples that can be used for research as requested by the Researchers. It's a rather dangerous task.. sending one out always feels like a gamble. Thank Barbatos that the casualties aren't that severe. Moving on.. we have a few reconnaissance groups sent out to investigate what happened leading up to the infection as well as study the infected’s behaviors. We haven't heard from them for a while but I have trust in Eula to keep things under control. 

The Researchers are the ones conducting research in order to understand the disease and find a possible cure – that and other factors such as the effect of the disease on water, air, soil, and more. Albedo, Lisa, and I are the ones who are leading the scientists, alchemists, and researchers. Thanks to the efforts of the Reconnaissance members, we are able to get an idea of what’s been happening in Mondstadt. 

The disease, in a general sense, puts individuals in a seemingly semi-conscious state with no other instinct but to spread the disease. It is hard to tell if the infected still have some semblance of consciousness or a recollection of their memories prior to the infection. If so, there might be a chance to save them with a cure, but it’s impossible to bring an infected inside the city without any risks. I’d have to ask Albedo for details.

The infected individuals are noted to have an eerie connection to the seven elements, more specifically the elements of their visions should they be Vision bearers. Another thing to note is that the spread of the disease varies on the element of the infected individual. Taking the seven elements in mind will help classify any infected as well as what to do upon encounter. The infected discovered in Mondstadt as of writing this are Floaters, Planters, and Burners.

Floaters are infected individuals that resonate with the element Anemo. They are easily recognizable by their deathly pale complexion and their bodies being motionless and suspended in the air. While they may not pose a threat when encountered, their body emits a toxic fume which infects those who are at a 30 45  50 60 foot radius. 

Inhaling Floater fumes can result in headaches, difficulty breathing, nausea, coughing (in later stages, includes blood), fainting, delirium? May be updated if recon brings new information. 

The spread of infection from Floaters are caused by inhaling the toxic fumes – what makes it more of a threat is the fact that they are easily scattered by the wind and other natural means to different places. There are cases of Floaters getting caught in trees or under debris which could infect unsuspecting passers-by. If exposed to the fumes, isolate immediately and seek treatment to avoid falling ill to the disease. 

Planters are infected individuals that resonate with the element Dendro. They are easily recognizable by the plants or fungi growing on their skin or inside their bodies. The growing plants may vary from the seeds nearby prior to infection – it ranges from weeds, flowers, herbs, shrubs and trees. Their mobility is affected by the kind of plants they carry – some Planters are found rooted to the ground once they were unable to carry fully grown trees. Similar to Floaters, they are not harmless when encountered. Although, the true danger of Planters lies in their ability to contaminate the food sources should any part of the plants growing on them fall on the ground (may vary from seeds, branches, or fruits). Infected plants may grow and pass off as any other.

The symptoms of ingesting Planter contaminated food and water includes dehydration, sudden irritation, lethargy, and body pain in areas the infection may grow (lung, stomach, heart, etc).

Reconnaissance recruits are strictly required to listen to a seminar to learn how to differentiate healthy plant life from the infected ones before being allowed to patrol. See Wolfhook Incident.

Burners are – by far – the most dangerous category of infected. They are classified by their unnatural body temperature, often ranging from steam emitting their bodies to being fully engulfed in flames. Observation notes state that Burners are not capable of feeling any pain; possibly due to their nerve cells undergoing third degree burns, perhaps past that. Due to Mondstadt mostly consisting of wide plains and an abundance of flora (Dragonspine may experience little to no effect of melting due to the cold climate), Burners are capable of causing fires.

Unlike Floaters and Planters, Burners are capable of running to great speeds and would attack a person they feel that are in their vicinity. An important thing to note is that they're blind due to their eyes being burned. Similar to Floaters, Burners spread the infection via the smoke they produce. It can be inhaled if a person is in a close proximity to the fire in question (the flammable object and the body both apply).

The symptoms of inhaling Burner smoke include inflammation, skin irritation, difficulty breathing, burning eyes, and high fevers.

The Reconnaissance members are instructed to extinguish and dispose of the body to avoid further casualties. The Garrison is required to avoid using flammable materials for barricades lest any Burners stumble upon Mondstadt City. It is inadvisable to deal with a Burner alone.

There is a theory of Cryo infused infected that may have originated from Dragonspine, but there is not enough evidence to verify. The infected’s affiliation with the Seven elements imply that there is a category for infected individuals with the elements Hydro, Electro, and Cryo. 

The Acting Grandmaster Jean had delivered a letter to Ningguang, the Tianquan of Liyue to request an alliance to battle against the disease. I’m not sure if the Nation of Geo is safe from the disease – it is uncertain whether the infected remained in Mondstadt or wandered towards the other regions. I can only hope that they can come to an agreement before things take a turn for the worse. Hopefully, we can get in touch with not only Liyue, but the rest of the nations (perhaps even Inazuma). Kaeya mentioned that establishing connections is is crucial in these situations.

Everyone has been growing uneasy these past few days. I can see it whenever I leave my lab to get some fresh air. There aren’t a lot of people outside –  the only exception are those who would come to visit the Favonius Cathedral. I can tell the disease is affecting everyone badly. Mika is more skittish. I hardly see Kaeya drink. Amber is as optimistic as always, so is Bennett – seeing their attitudes seemed to boost the citizens' morale.. at least a little, but I can tell this is bothering them more than they let on. Noelle is on edge too, she couldn’t help but keep making extra rounds around the entrance and exits in the city and always checks on how everyone is feeling. I don’t know what caused such a change in her. She doesn’t seem to enjoy talking about the infected that much. Sometimes, I'd see Lisa reading alone in the library in the early hours of the day. I got used to seeing her so calm and composed, it's.. strange to see her look so serious and almost tired (more so than usual). Not to mention, she keeps mumbling about a student of hers to Jean. I don’t know who this student of hers is but I can tell she cares a lot about him.

And here do I start on Jean? I can already imagine how much stress she’s going through now. On top of running Mondstadt and taking care of Klee, she has to oversee the progress in all three divisions of the Knights of Favonius. I feel a little guilty whenever my leads end up on dead ends, some results would help lighten her burdens. I see her visit the Favonius Cathedral more often.

Albedo isn’t acting like himself, either. After joining one of the Reconnaissance operations, he came back home with this.. frightened  bothered  indifferent strange look on his face. He keeps secluding himself, insisting he needs to work on his research alone. That may not be new, but this feels different.. I can’t explain why.. I have a feeling Albedo knows something, something the Research Department doesn’t. If I could just

The Researchers will continue studying the samples we have to understand how the disease works. Just recently, we received samples of the soil and water in Dadaupa Gorge. Lisa says it’s best if we filter it out and see if anything matches with the blood sample Eula gathered from a Planter in her previous mission. If her hypothesis is correct, we could find something that caused the infection. It could be a parasite or a microorganism that caused all this. 

There’s only one way to find out.

Through the Veins

Ignatius Sorrow fell through the veins of Teyvat; in Arkham, he contemplates. [Backstory for my Dottore Segment OC]

He didn’t belong here.

They all felt that way, of course, with few exceptions.  Arkham was not a place one truly belonged.  It clipped the wings of its inhabitants but never quite managed to do the job properly, leaving most passing through a rotating door.

Unless one was unlucky enough to be taken to the morgue rather than the infirmary.  A case could be made that one was truly fortunate in that regard.  No one went to Arkham and came out better for it.

Every Rogue knew each other’s stories and their quirks, or enough of them, at any rate.  Merely a byproduct of the adversary they all had in common and the systems they danced through.

Except for Ignatius.

He had been traversing Irminsul at Prime’s request, navigating the veins of the world’s memories in an attempt to study whether primordial seawater was tainting some of the older roots.  A pointless experiment, if he were to be critical of his creator.  Then again, that same man split himself so many times that he couldn’t keep his own theories straight some days.  Ignatius, although he held faint memories of a string of letters and numbers rather than a name, was only coming back when the internal Segment network failed and he lost consciousness.  

Instead of hard stone and a sneer, he was greeted with hands rifling through his pockets and a swift kick to the ribs.

He got off lucky, he surmised, when he saw the rest of his surroundings.

Gotham City.  

Dreary, miserable Gotham City, and all of its flashing Bat signals.  

At the time, he hadn’t known or understood.  This world was vastly different than Teyvat, than Irminsul, and all the laws combined.  Whatever knowledge Prime passed down to his Segments about the universes connected by the world tree, it had not included Gotham.

A city protected by a masked vigilante who had technology so advanced only those with deep pockets could ever access.  It was like Batman was begging the people to call him out, identify him.  A challenge no one won, although everyone tried.

 Ignatius recalled an incident at Dawn Winery that another once told; red hair and a mask and a sunburst phoenix.  Always the rich, wasn’t it?

The lost Segment flew under the radar for a while.  Got his identification, forged his credentials, found a job at Stagg Enterprises.  Surprisingly easy to do.  Or perhaps he was just used to bending rules for the sake of experiments.

Blue hair and red eyes didn’t stand out all that much here, not compared to the Clown Prince of Crime nor Poison Ivy; Ignatius looked normal by most standards for a director of research and development.  And his face mask in the lab hid his sharpened teeth.

Neurological  and memory enhancement were child’s play.  Boredom set in within a few months.

Alleviated only by those who came to him with special projects or in need of specific compounds only he had access to.

Like Scarecrow.

Fear was one of many facets Ignatius and his brethren played with but only as one part of a whole picture.  But Ignatius could respect the dedication to studying something so deeply that eventually, one might conquer all that it inhabited.  It was not a dissimilar practice to his own, to Prime’s.

The extra cash had been helpful in obtaining more materials for his private work and having a mind who understood scientific practices and the need for objectivity was refreshing.

Until they were caught, of course.

Ignatius’ first encounter with the Batman hadn’t been terrifying in the least but it had brought back unpleasant memories of being tossed around for sport.  His body, almost fully synthetic save the flesh that coated his metal skeleton, was thankfully intact when they shoved him into a cell in Arkham.  

Where he sat now, holding up his earring to the light.  He’d stolen it back from the guard who took it; Irminsul sap shouldn’t be in the hands of just anyone.  Especially those who didn’t even know of its existence.

The teal liquid winked as an errant flash of light ran through it.  A promise.

When he returned to Teyvat, whether it took a year or a century, Prime would pay for abandoning him.

Fandom: Genshin Impact

Characters: Sick Diluc, Caretaker Kaeya with a cameo of sick traveler (Hillie takes care of her I promise!)

Warnings: Vomiting, Emeto, poison mention

Summary:

𝐀𝐫𝐜 𝐕𝐈 — 𝑪𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑭𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒔

𝐀𝐫𝐜 𝐕 | 𝐀𝐫𝐜 𝐕𝐈 (you are here) | 𝐀𝐫𝐜 𝐕𝐈𝐈

Authors note: Hi, everyone! Been busy with other stuff. The project for Dawn Winery is finally progressing when we managed to fix the laser (yes, we did by one). I'll update once we have everything more defined. PS. I have a character sheet for Amalia! Will post it after the next Arc is published.

Volksfest

╰[A Volksfest (pronounced [ˈfɔlks. fɛst]; German for "people's festival") is a large event in German-speaking countries which usually combines a beer festival or wine festival and a traveling funfair.]

╰Volksfest begins in Autumn – August to November – because it is the season of harvest.

Adler’s Tavern

–Adler’s Tavern should be on top of your list to visit during this festival! With out-of-this-world music and local beers and wine, with famous staples from all around Teyvat.

–Many come here for the Autumn show in Adler’s Tavern. The show can vary between years. From shows about Autumn itself, to Archon related shows, but there is always one show that is always performed during the season: Grace and Humanity.

╰Grace and Humanity is a show depicting the love Her Grace has for humanity, blessing them with great harvest each year.

╰The tavern has a little theater that is always full during these festivals. When not in use, Adler will rent it out to producers to host their shows here. Safe to say, it always has something in its box at the entrance.

╰Majority of the shows are family friendly, especially Grace and Humanity.

–Overall, a 10/10 place to visit even outside of Volksfest.

Wine Festival

–This festival is done only during Volksfest because many people can gather and taste, and make, wine. This Festival is hosted by the farmers in the ‘countryside’ of the city.

╰There is grape juice for kids to not make them feel left out of this festivity.

Old Times Renewed

–As the name suggests, this festival is to bring back the old in the city. During this one week festival, people will dress with traditional clothes, or old styled clothes to commemorate the past.

–Foods that have a long history or are traditional will be served especially for this time.

╰If you have time, walk around the city and see which restaurant brings back a 100-year-old-recipe into the menu.

╰A lot of this restaurant only bring out this old recipes for this festival only, so don’t miss it!

Farmers Harvest

╰The Farmers Harvest is different from Volksfest because it actually involves farmers coming together to harvest their crops and selling them in their markets. Depending on what plant they are harvesting, the date for that Farmers Harvest will begin.

╰During this period, all vegetables and fruits in season will be on display in the Farmers Market.

╰Fruits and vegetables that don’t take long to grow will not be included in Farmers Harvest.

Grapes

–Begins in August and ends in November.

Pumpkins

–Begins August, ends in October

 Wheat Fields

–from July to September.

Parades

╰There are three main parades in the City that are celebrated each year.

Irene Parade

–This parade is done once a year on July 9, for the founding of the city.

–The main streets of the city are closed for this parade. It begins from the main entrance of the city, traversing through farmland, following the streets of the city, to eventually end at the entrance of the Castle.

╰At the end of the parade, a young boy who won the week long competition present a present to her Grace representing the gratitude of the people for forming the city.

Masquerade

–This parade welcomes winter with open arms. It is a dance with masks to show the winter it got nothing against them.

–There are many parties hosted throughout the city, but the most important one is the one hosted in the castle by her Grace.

╰If you received a letter for the dance, consider yourself luck! There is only a limited amount of letters sent out to random individuals. So make sure to accept before they give it away to another!

January, The Month of our Lady

╰The first month of the year is dedicated to celebrating and recognizing Her Grace alone. Many activities and parades happen during this time, such as Grace’s Mercy.

Grace’s Mercy

–Grace's Mercy is a parade done once at the end of January.

–It usually consists of tales, sayings, and shows regarding her Grace. But the main course is the dance done in her honor in the city’s square. Only one dancer is allowed to dance the traditional performance each year.

╰It is a great honor to perform this dance as it takes years of practice and experience, with even some of the best dancers unable to follow the routine with how difficult it is.

– If she is happy with the gift the people of the city will be blessed and protected until next year.

[Fun Facts]

–Diluc has made contact with Madam Adler after coming back from his revenge-emo-phase to manage the family business.

–Madam Adler and Master Crepus were good friends back when he was still alive.

╰They were penpals.

–The time of grapes to be harvested is when Volksfest begins and ends.

╰The time for wine making!

–The Irene Parade is a legal Holiday. No one works that day, even her Grace.

–There are actually two dances for Grace's Mercy, a male version and a female version, both are as complex as the other.

[scaranation]

hi!! could I please request for kaeya & fem reader- reader is confident and outspoken with those around her, and so as they meet he thinks it’ll be hard to fluster her with his flirting, only he’s quickly proven wrong once they actually have a conversation and he makes an attempt to do so? I hope that makes sense lol. thank u sm! <3

yesss i love this idea sm! i hope i interpreted it right, enjoyy <3

༊*·˚ 𝐂𝐔𝐓𝐄

Pairing: Kaeya x F!reader

Content: fluff, mildly suggestive

Kaeya approaches you, the confident newcomer at the tavern, only to fall for the unexpected way in which you so easily get flustered by him.

You possessed a certain gravitational quality, seeming to be the confident centre of attention wherever you went. Coaxing laughs out of others was almost second nature to you. Out of all the other patrons Kaeya had seen at the bar, you certainly. caught his eye, being the glamorous Inazuman immigrant that’d remained outspoken in the tavern. Perhaps he was no different from all the others - enamoured by the persona you projected from afar.

Kaeya approached you on the rare occasion you were alone, expecting the confident shrewdness he’d seen from you before. However, you quickly fumbled with your bag to make room for him next to you, muttering hurried apologies. He raised his eyebrows. How unexpected.

“What are you apologising for? Stealing my heart?” Kaeya smirked, slightly surprised at the way your eyes widened and your cheeks became tinged with the faintest hue of red.

“Sorry, my brother always tells me I’m too forward around strangers. Nice to meet you, I’m Kaeya Alberich.”

You stared at the outstretched hand for a moment before taking it. With a wink - or a blink, you couldn’t tell because of the eyepatch - Kaeya lifted your hand and kissed the back of it. You snatched your hand back. Mondstadt truly was the city of freedom, but were all its customs this… flustering?

You stuttered out your name, quickly recovering. You lifted a glass of dandelion wine to your lips, the cold feel of the cup against your fingers grounding you back in reality.

“I take it you’re not from here?” Kaeya made idle conversation, although he already knew where you were from based on the rumours circulating around the tavern. He leaned in slightly, indulging in the way you broke eye contact to awkwardly shuffle back. This was certainly a pleasant surprise. The cavalry captain had begun the conversation expecting you to be equally as confident as before, almost anticipating for you to fluster him.

“Ah, I’m from Inazuma. I came here for work.” You replied, finally returning Kaeya’s gaze. It was there that he decided your unexpected shyness was adorable - a faint smile flitting across his lips.

“What kind of work?”

“Due to the Vision Hunt Decree, there were impediments to wine exports from Mondstadt to Inazuma. I’m here to sort it out, hence me being at the Dawn Winery often.”

“It seems you’ve taken a liking to the wine here, if you’re now at the Angel’s Share.”

“… Yes.” You flushed again upon noticing that Kaeya had advanced closer. He smiled at your candid reactions before interlacing his fingers with yours.

“Rough hands. Have you been in this line of work for long?” Kaeya noticed, rubbing a thumb over your knuckles.

“No, I used to be an adventurer.” You admitted. You hadn’t had that much to drink, and yet you found yourself intoxicated by this strange man.

“Mm. I know a few of those.” Kaeya mused, before noticing your glass was empty and ordering another - winking (or blinking) as he paid for it.

“So… what are you? What do you do?” The alcohol slid down your throat pleasantly as you felt your face heat.

“I work in the Knights of Favonius, as Cavalry Captain.”

“Funny, I haven’t seen many horses around Mondstadt.”

“Well, usually I prefer to play the role of being ridden.”

You stopped for a moment to process what Kaeya had just said, almost spitting out your drink in the process. The man laughed at your bewildered reaction, placing a hand on your shoulder as he continued to chuckle.

“Calm down, I’m joking. Perhaps you do take me seriously after all?” Kaeya held back another grin at your flustered demeanour. How fun it was to tease you - like playing with a hamster.

Your alcohol-addled mind couldn’t formulate a proper response, and so you only opted to take another sip of your drink.

At least another hour flew by with you and Kaeya making conversation - laughs and chatter melting into the heated slosh of dandelion wine down your throat, a heat that was mirrored in your face as you continued to be subjected to the man’s relentless teasing.

“You know, I can’t keep paying for you to drink yourself into a nasty hangover.” Kaeya remarked. His hand was laid lazily over yours, a touch you’d somehow gotten used to.

“Then I’ll pay for it myself.”

“That’s not what I meant. Where are you staying? I can take you there.”

“Goth’s Hotel…” You pouted a little, but didn’t struggle when Kaeya took you by the arm to bring you out of the tavern.

The cold night air sizzled on your burning cheeks, the feeling of your body too heavy on your swaying legs as the cobbled pavement drew dangerously close to your face.

“Can’t have you falling over something that isn’t me now, can we?” Kaeya quickly caught you before you could feel the ground against your cheek. You mumbled something in response, limited to being barely coherent as the charming man escorted you back to your hotel.

“If you want someone to drink with again, you’ll know where to find me.” Kaeya smiled, tilting your chin up. His fingers were smooth and cold, gently nudging your jaw as he drew your faces closer to each other. You could feel his breath fan across your face, and you closed your eyes - only to feel the warmth disappear as Kaeya leaned away, chuckling.

“You’re so cute, you know? It just makes me want to tease you.” Kaeya kissed your forehead instead.

“… I’m sorry… you had to see me like this…” You trailed off.

“Hm? No, I like this side of you. As long as I’m the only one seeing it, of course.” With one last fleeting peck on the lips, Kaeya left you in front of the building - smiling to himself.

You had certainly grabbed his attention - but not with the confidence you’d used to grab that of others. And he only liked you more for it.

[ladychance]

Hey I wrote something 🙂👏🏼

Basically Kaeya has a hard time adapting to life at Dawn Winery in the first few weeks, and can’t find sleep in a comfortable bed.

(Feat. sad-bean Kaeya and sunshine Diluc!)

[wri0thesley]

that ask about yandere! diluc entering the literary world in hopes of fantasizing even more about darling though - rubbing my hands together at the brainrots ive thought about.

- master diluc, who was never into - ehem, explicit material since he has been indoctrinated into the knightly, gentlemanly code of honor ever since he was young stumbling on a broad collection of eroticas and wanton ideas his mind can conjure.

lisa smiles at him a bit too slyly when he spends more than a couple minutes browsing the section, his large hands scowering the pages and summaries of what he could essentially project his daydreams of you two together. there has been a collection recently added to the shelves, some publishing house all away from inazuma writing about obsessive love and the main character's lovestricken determination to be with their beloved at all costs.

oh my, it has one of the highest ratings. surely the voyeuristic tendencies of the male lead as well as the crossing of multiple boundaries have guaranteed such excellent reviews from the general public. he reaches out to check the material for himself when a familiar hand lays on top of him for the same idea, and your eyes nearly pop out of your head when you see the handsome master of the dawn winery staring back at you.

before any words are spoken, you take your leave. such a shame, you were anticipating the latest novel! the redhead takes one last look over at the book. so this is what you're into.. interesting. It wouldnt hurt to take a few notes of what you're supposedly into.

ALTERNATIVELY

- diluc who commissions an anonymous writer to elaborate his fantasies of his darling who's too far from his reach but the ghostwriter realizes that they share a lot of the same features and characteristics the most influential figure in mondstadt lusts and daydreams over 👀 and the upcoming personal and face-to-face meeting between you two surely doesn't help your realizations that the pyro user is the one stalking you as of late

oh, imagine how utterly embarrassed you would be that your fingers have brushed diluc's over this latest offering - that you've given away your tastes and proclivities (ones, you are certain, are strange and off-putting) in front of the most handsome man in town. what if he thinks all the worse of you for finding such a thing romantic - he was at the shelf too, of course, but perhaps he was simply browsing--

you go home with thoughts of that series love interest in your mind; a dark brooding figure who, in your fantasies, is always a redhead. standing watch silently outside of your window, watching your every move, coveting you like something precious--

and you do not for a moment realise that this same plot is playing out in real life.

HIHIII

I would like to participate in the event!! Congratulations on 500!

My main team is a claymore only team consisting of : Kaveh, Diluc , Razor , Sayu (other choices come in when i have to use cryo or geo : Itto and Eula)

—🦀

Thank you!!

⊱ ────── {⋅. ✯ .⋅} ────── ⊰

Team: Kaveh, Diluc, Razor, Sayu

Wholesome af is all I'm gonna say, which may be surprising

Razor learning new claymore techniques from everyone else aw <3

I feel like Kaveh and Diluc would get along really well, they are both emotionally intelligent adults and I think they'd share similar interests

Kaveh being broke af and wanting to treat his new teammates, then crying when Diluc is willing to pay for anything they need

Diluc allowing them to tour his manor- and Kaveh admiring every detail of interior design

Kaveh gasping when he finds out Diluc is the owner of the Dawn Winery, trying not to seem greedy but Diluc can sense the heart in him, so he insists on him trying some

I think Diluc and Razor know each other sort of, so now that they finally meet, Razor can express how he looks up to Diluc, seeing how powerful he is

Kaveh getting emotional and relating to Razor when he hears about his past (Razor assures him as long as he's with his Lupical, he's fine, and that Kaveh should be fine too as long as he has his Lupical <3)

Razor thinking that Sayu is also from an animal related family...

The team is pretty stable even if they camp out in the wild, mostly because Razor and Sayu are carrying the hunting side of things

Kaveh being jealous of how much Sayu gets to sleep, and Sayu getting jealous of how tall Kaveh is

"A nap? I'm lucky if I even get a wink of sleep when I'm working on my projects..."

"You... don't sleep?!"

Sayu starts questioning her more sleep = taller theories

a (not really helpful) guide to cancelling birthday dinner plans | Ragbros, Kaebedo Fic

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Warnings: None

Summary: “You really like him, don’t you.”

Perhaps it should be a question, but it isn’t. Normally, Kaeya would not like things assumed about him, especially by Diluc of all people, but…

“Yeah.”

His voice is breathy; reserved.

“I think do.”

(Or: When Diluc invites Kaeya to the Dawn Winery to spend the night of his birthday, a certain Chief Alchemist may or may not mess up their plans a little bit. Only a little, though.)
