warnings: none

not proofread

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

keqing -`✮´-

• window shopping is her favorite way to spend time with you!

• she wouldn't be able to contain her excitement as you walk through the streets of liyue together, looking at all the different goods displayed in shop windows

• enjoys explaining the significance behind many of the artifacts, or how different types of clothing are manufactured

• but, if gently intertwine your fingers with hers, she'll shut up real quick

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

hu tao -`✮´-

• would definitely enjoy bringing you to a haunted house of some sort

• obviously she wouldn't get scared, but enjoys watching you jump at every little movement and sound

• would also scare you herself, then giggle at your reaction

• should you hide behind or grab hold of her out of fear or for protection, her heart will flutter a little <3

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

clorinde -`✮´-

• for her, playing through a tabletop troupe script with you would be her ideal date

• she loves to immerse herself in the story and characters, and whenever she roleplays with you, she finds it much more enjoyable!

• she'll secretly pick a script that has her saving you from monsters, or even one that ends with the two of you kissing (//ω//)

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

jean -`✮´-

• a midday picnic away from the hustle and bustle of mondstat and the knights is perfect!

• you would bring your favorite dishes, she would bring hers, and you two would spend time sharing food and stories

• spending time away from her responsibilities and expectations also helps her relax and decompress

• her heart will melt if you lean on her shoulder or lay your head down in her lap

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

ei -`✮´-

• in her mind, simply walking around inazuma with you is perfect

• having been stuck in the plane of euthymia for so long, many of the sights and goods are still novel to her, and she enjoys listening to you explain all the new things she’s seeing and experiencing

• but, you should be prepared to stop at every shop or stand that sells sweets

• wouldn’t try and feed her any sweets though, she’s still the archon and has an image to uphold

she’ll gladly do it in private

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

yae miko -`✮´-

• she would prefer to start the night off with a nice dinner

• wouldn't have to be anything extremely fancy, the only requirement being the establishment must serve fried tofu

• after the meal, simply lazing around at home with you would be a perfect way to end the night

• she would enjoy reading light novels with you in her lap, but her hands would be constantly roaming around your body, making it very difficult for you to focus on your book

"dear, is the novel not to your liking? you've been on the same page for ten minutes now..."

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

furina -`✮´-

• would love to go watch some sort of stage play or musical with you

• she wouldn't care what genre the performance actually is, she just wants to spend time with you!

• unless it's horror-if it is, she'll have a death grip on your hand the entire way through

• the following days, or even weeks, she's not entering any dark rooms by herself, has you check in the closet and under the bed before sleep, summons all the salon members to keep watch, and clings to you like her life depends on it while she's trying to sleep

• if it's not horror, she would be constantly glancing over at you to "gauge your reactions at different scenes" (you're just too beautiful, and she couldn't resist the urge to look at you)

• would also enjoy acting out some of her favorite scenes to you in private!

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

bronya -`✮´-

• similar to jean, anything that lets her take a break from her responsibilities and expectations would already be perfect

• that being said, she would really enjoy going clothes shopping with you!

• besides taking her mind off work, it's allows her to admire you under the pretense of making sure the clothes fit on you

• she'd blush every time you tell her she looks good in something

• would suck at helping you decide what to pick because you just look good in everything!

• wants to hold your hand, but sadly she's got an image to uphold-don't worry though, she'll make up for it by giving you a quick kiss in a changing room!

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

black swan -`✮´-

• 100% a romantic candlelit dinner type of woman

• loves to listen to you talk about your most recent or favorite memories!

• she'd also want to show you some of her favorite memories of the two of you, or even maybe some of her favorites from her own life

• would definitely make you relive some of your embarrassing moments, for example, when she caught you red-handed trying on her clothes and posing in front of a mirror

• afterwards, taking a calm night stroll hand in hand would be a perfect way to close the night

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

feixiao -`✮´-

• would love to have you accompany her for a morning run and workout!

• when she runs, it usually allows her clear her mind and think over important issues with a fresh mind, but since you're present she can only think about you

• don't worry! if you get tired or don't want to run, she'd be more than happy to just take a morning stroll!

she'd also be willing to carry you

• would love if you'd join her lifting weights, but wouldn't ever make you do anything you don't want to do

• very obvious that she's trying harder than ever now that you're watching to try and impress you <3

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

march 7th -`✮´-

• shopping.

• spending a whole day going store to store looking for cute things with you would be a dream come true

• she'd have you try on many different outfits, and may even have you pose for her camera!

• would also suck at helping you choose an outfit, you just look too cute in everything!

• by the end of the day, her camera roll is filled with pictures of you and her, and she'll immortalize her favorites on her wall

• if you were to buy her a stuffed animal of any kind, she'd treasure it, naming it ruler over all her other stuffed animals, and would also hold it when she's missing you </3

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

qingque -`✮´-

• she'd love to just slack off and play celestial jade with you!

• she wouldn't care if you brought along your friends, as long as they were fine losing to her

• but, if was were to be down to you and her, she'd discreetly make a bad play to let you win because your smile never fails to make her heart skip a beat!

• grabbing takeout and walking around aurum alley would be a cherry on top for her, but you should be prepared to have a lot of your food stolen by her

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

silver wolf -`✮´-

• would want to just laze around and play video games with you

• she's very skilled at basically every game, so she could help you beat bosses you were struggling on or boost you a couple matches in competitive

• could also spawn you in credits or other valuable in game resources if you wanted-just don't ask how

• if you decide you want to play against her, she'll promptly sit herself down in your lap just to distract you (not like she needs the advantage, she just likes to watch you slowly get flustered)

• also uses you as like a good luck charm for her gacha game pulls

a/n: thanks for reading!

⊹ [ characters ] — Beidou, Chongyun, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Keqing, Ningguang, Qiqi, Shenhe, Xiangling, Xiao, Xingqiu, Xinyan, Yanfei, Yaoyao, Yelan, Yun Jin & Zhongli. ◞

⊹ [ synopsis ] — let's see what they think about you. ◞

⊹ [ cw ] — religious theme. ◞

⠀‣ Beidou

About The Creator: Relaxation

"We had to bring them to Inazuma for a few times, apparently they really wanted to travel with The Crux. Take important person like this isn't really what we do but you know my eye for people, Y/n seemed to be more than what we heard, they were a good travel buddy, playing with the crew and telling interesting stories from another world. Sad, the guards with them don't let them drink 'A drunk God in Inazuma? What would they think?'... But who cares what they think, they should let them have a bit of fun!"

About The Creator: Consort

"You can say traveling has brought us closer, haha! I'm really happy to have find someone like them. I'll never forget the celebration we had on the ship, the weather was kind to us this day, and the food was far better than what we're used to eat, and how could I forgot the drinks, I never saw Y/n that... wild, it's quite the experience, but it's good to see them without having to worry about anything."

⠀

⠀‣ Chongyun

About The Creator

"Like me they have an energy that keeps away evil spirits from them, I suppose spirits are too scared to approach in fear of vanishing into fin air. So, I wonder why people still ask me thinking they need an exorcism, last time, we called me because apparently the Creator had an unusual behavior, rambling unknown words beyond any language experts' knowledge, turned out they just had too many drinks with the leader of The Crux..."

⠀

⠀‣ Ganyu

About The Creator: Relating

"The Qixing had to work a few times with them, and I noticed they always seem a bit anxious so I always try to help them when I can, maybe it's also because I relate to them a bit, they are our Creator but they act more like a mortal, they are trapped between two worlds, leading to confusion not only for them but also others, which would always lead to critiques..."

About The Creator: Consort

"I have still a lot to finish about this, people from all regions will come so we need to strengthen the Millelith to keep everything in order, the music group that was supposed to perform left us so I have to look through the applications again, I need to verify the special invitations just in case there's an error in the date or location. Also, I'll have to go soon for the Sumeru's flowers that should arrive this afternoon. An union between who, you ask? O-Oh... me and Y/n of course! Sorry if I wasn't clear. There's no need to worry about me, I just want everything to be perfect, I don't think I will be able to not blame myself if something bad happened, I know Y/n told me they'll be happy no matter what as long as I'm with them, but that just makes me want to work more for a perfect ceremony."

⠀

⠀‣ Hu Tao

About The Creator

"Even the most superior being needs a long rest sometimes, if it's meant to happen again, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor would be more than honored to prepare a noble ceremony for their departure. Better be quick, and offer them our buy one get one free special!"

⠀

⠀‣ Keqing

About The Creator

"Due to their return, people expect them to rule over Teyvat, which includes Liyue. People also pray to them for the minor inconvenients... *sigh* We can't rely on Gods for everything, we're perfectly capable to survive as our own, and Y/n don't seem convinced to govern alone, even before their death it was never said that the Creator was the one who ruled Teyvat, they simply enjoyed interacting with their creations."

⠀

⠀‣ Ningguang

About The Creator: Tour

"It is a great pleasure to welcome a such honorable guest into Liyue, especially when they were the one who helped us to save our nation. As the Tianquan I was more than glad to have the chance to make them visit the city, it was cute to see them insisting to pay even with no mora on them."

About The Creator: Consort

"I've heard people telling that I accepted their proposal to make my items more valuable and attract more persons to come and make deals in Liyue. In short, our marriage is just a business partnership and not an act of pure love. You... don't believe that, do you? Y/n is worth more than any amount of mora for me, and not because they're the Creator. I know I don't need to prove myself to anyone but I'm concerned if one day Y/n will listen to those rumors."

⠀

⠀‣ Qiqi

About The Creator

"I don't remember who this is... Sorry."

About Y/n

"Y/n is the one who gave me a finch, I named it just like them because they're both nice with me, so when I forgot one of them I just need to look at the other to remember... Uhh, who were we talking about?"

⠀

⠀‣ Shenhe

About The Creator: Disciple

"My family was from a clan of exorcists so they were followers of them, the clan sent prayers and asked for blessings when performing an exorcism. When my mother died, not only did my father abandon me but them too. Maybe that's why I became one of the Acolytes."

About The Creator: Consort

"My master insisted to meet Y/n, not only because they're the Creator but my partner, she wanted to meet the one who 'tamed my heart'. When they did meet, let's say both of their personalities didn't really match well together which gave... an interesting show, but at the end they agreed to share and listen to stories of my childhood..."

⠀

⠀‣ Xiangling

About The Creator

"They told me about dishes from their other world, just hearing about them makes my stomach growl, I'd love cook those dishes if they ever feel homesick, not only can food be delicious but bring warm feelings, and not just because it's hot! But I also love making them try food from here and they always seem to like and excited when I bring them a nice cooked meal!"

⠀

⠀‣ Xiao

About The Creator: Unusual

"They're a God, the oldest one, and yet their body and mind are just as weird and vulnerable as a human."

About The Creator: Consort

"Hm... Yes, about that. Could you help me with something? They always seem to care about me a lot, trying to heal me and making me food, even though I need none of this, but I heard it's expected to show gratitude to the person who cares about you. Since they act more like a human, I don't know what should I offer them. Flowers? Hm... Maybe something that gives me more work, picking up flowers isn't enough to thank them for everything they have done for me. Flowers crowns? I mean... I guess I can try to make one. You think that would make them smile if I had one too? Fine... Show me how to do it."

⠀

⠀‣ Xingqiu

About The Creator

"Ah, they're quite the difficult topic to avoid. My presence was required when my family invited them for a warm welcome to Liyue, I cannot say more as it was a private meeting, but I didn't imagine them with such a casual and clumsy personality, if you would have seen the faces of my father and brother, hehe... Just to say another meeting won't come anytime soon."

⠀

⠀‣ Xinyan

About The Creator

"Who'd think that someone like them would like my performance? Even better, they encourage it! I mean, that's understandable, staying with the most uptight persons and doing boring work all day... Can't even imagine the nightmare, they certainly got the rock 'n' roll's spirit!"

⠀

⠀‣ Yanfei

About The Creator

"Ah... Yes, I'm aware that because of their position we allow them more than we should, but it's not like anyone mind or they do anything bad, the worse that happened was them and Xinyan being a bit too loud. I've heard of a fireworks show in all of Inazuma and a wanted gang getting out of prison, but it's outside of my territory to talk furthermore."

⠀

⠀‣ Yaoyao

About The Creator

"They're always so heavily guarded, so you can always be sure they are in good health with no injuries, but I do worry about how they feel with being followed by people who watch your every move all day. So, whenever I see them, I ask how are they and I always have a ration of their favorite food with me. If you encounter them, tell hi from me and to take care!"

⠀

⠀‣ Yelan

About The Creator: Easy target

"If you knew the number of cases related to them, from little scammers to hitmen, there sure is a great variety. Since the Creator has a more powerful influence than strength, criminals think they are the perfect target for great sum of mora, but they sometimes underestimate a bit too much those close to the Creator and I'm not talking about the Millelith."

About The Creator: Consort

"Shh, not so loud. Surprised, aren't we? That means we're doing a good job at keeping it as a secret. I don't want to be known and blow up my cover, plus with the danger it can attract to them, so we can't announce it publicly but it's not that bad, seeing others thinking they have a chance with them is a funny show, unless Y/n feels uncomfortable, to this I'll attend to it personally when nobody is watching."

⠀

⠀‣ Yun Jin

About The Creator

" 'Through a simple whisper, thousands winds started to blow. Hands drew a river, rising waves emerged from the flow. Love was poured into the earth, and life began to grow~' Aren't these beautiful lyrics? There's a few operas about the Creator as we didn't know them much. We invited them but they appeared a bit embarrassed, which I can understand, so I try to sing tales that aren't about them and might fit their taste. I'm used to hear praises but their enthusiasm about my singing never fails to delight me."

⠀

⠀‣ Zhongli

About The Creator: Hopeful future

"I was surprised to hear about their reincarnation, especially about memories from another world. I had the occasions to talk to them, even if they may seem lost sometimes and lack experiences, the love they share for this world is real and the people around them returns this feeling, with a modern and ambitious mind like them, I'm sure the future of Teyvat will be bright."

About The Creator: Consort

"You want to know more about our contract? Well, our feelings for each other were mutual and we had the same promise which was to keep the other safe and happy, naturally we came to do the ultimate promise to stay together until death separates us, but I fear even this won't be able to break our contract, one that I shall forever cherish and respect. They're quite busy but I stay patient for them to come and see me when they finish with tea that I prepared for relaxing them after a stressful day."

Illuminate Me

Hu Tao x Keqing

Merry christmas to @eenochian because once again this is one of her gifts <3333

Warnings: none

WC: 1823

Rating: T+

--

Keqing buried her face in her hands, frustration and exhaustion washing over her. Less than a month until the Lantern Rite, and she still felt no closer to finalizing everything than she had on day one. Everything was piling up, and to be fair,  everyone was overworked. Still. That didn’t stop Keqing from wanting to complain.

She slid all the papers away from her once she looked outside and noticed the sun was setting. She was ready to go home, maybe after a quick dinner. The day was ending, and Keqing did not want to trigger burnout.

Keqing waved goodbye to Ganyu and Ningguang, leaving the Qixing Headquarters for the day. As she stepped outside, she debated whether or not she was actually gonna eat out, and if so, where.

She settled for Wanmin, if only because it was close to her home, and Mao did take-out. So she trained her feet down to Chihu Rock.

She wove through all the crowds, thick despite the sun falling below the horizon. She deftly avoided so much as brushing shoulders with anyone, her quick speed and reflexes helping her in crowds more often than she’d admit to other people.

She arrived at Wanmin after about half an hour, and slid into an empty barstool. She was surprised to see Xiangling in the kitchen, but then figured she must have returned from her latest adventure. So she gave Xiangling her order, not that she needed to, because she already knew. And as she waited, Keqing put her head down on the counter, cushioned by her arms. She closed her eyes, and let the ambient noise lull her closer and closer to dozing…

And then someone slid into the stool next to hers with a giggle. When Keqing looked up, she was met with the scheming face of Director Tao of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Keqing sighed.

“Do you need something, Ms. Tao?”

The young woman grinned even wider. “Are you all alone on a Friday night? Not anymore!”

Keqing’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Is this another marketing ploy?”

Hu Tao shook her head. “Nah, I’m just here to keep you company. You look exhausted and lonely, so I figured I’d abandon my consensual stalking of Zhongli and come hang out with you!”

Keqing’s frown only grew. “I have questions. Like, what do you mean by consensual stalking?”

“Oh, he told me it’s okay and he always spots me somehow, so it’s consensual. I only do it to Zhongli, though. I’m well aware of legality, Lady Yuheng. I stay well within it.”

“That’s why you haven’t been arrested,” Keqing agreed with a sigh. “For the record, Ms. Tao, I don’t think you deserve all the calls you get from the Millelith. You are, in fact, running a business. Does everyone agree with your methods? No, of course not. But you’re just drumming up business. No different than the jade vendor hawking his wares. People just look down on your business because of their fear.”

“So, you’re not telling me to change my tactics?”

“Why should I? So long as you aren’t trespassing or harassing people, you’re really no different from the other vendors. It’s not your fault if your ‘product’ makes people uncomfortable.” Keqing perked up as Xiangling set down a plate of golden shrimp balls and took Hu Tao’s order.

“It’s just. Some people think I should change things. Be less forward, use more euphemisms, stick only to billboards, stick only to pamphlets, shut up and let people die, then they’ll come to you.” Hu Tao pressed a hand to her eyes. “Sorry, I got a little emotional there, haha. Anyway, some company I am. How are you?”

Keqing had just stuffed a shrimp into her mouth when Hu Tao asked, so she made a point to chew slowly while making eye contact before speaking. “I am frustrated with my job, but it is nothing that I haven’t done before.”

“Oh that’s right, you must be working on the Lantern Rite festival!”

“Yes. Things seem to be moving rather slowly, and I’m not sure how to speed them up.”

Hu Tao grinned with her eyes closed, though a small tear still glimmered on one of her lashes. “Hey, I’ll help if I can! Maybe if I’m not talking about ghosts and death, people will listen! Besides, I’m an excellent director or manager. Not a single person has complained about my management skills, living or dead!”

Keqing stifled a giggle as she grabbed another shrimp ball. “Well, we’ll see, but ultimately it’s not up to me. But if we need someone to hype up the workers, we’ll give you a call, maybe.”

Hu Tao hummed. “Fine by me. Hey, you know what you- and probably me, too- should do after the festival?”

“Hm?”

“We should go on vacation!”

“I can’t.”

“Ningguang’s labor laws apply to you, too, Keqing,” Hu Tao said, dropping the formalities.

It threw Keqing off, though, the sudden change in tone. Everyone referred to her as the Yuheng. They referred to her as authority, as someone in charge. But Hu Tao was not doing that. She was referring to Keqing… more like a friend. 

And that did something to Keqing.

She stammered over her meal. “W-well, even if I were to take a vacation, I don’t think it would be suitable for us to go together.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Keqing knew she messed up. She tried to back track and clear it up, but Hu Tao laughed and leaned on the counter with smirk.

“So, you’re thinking about going on vacation with little ol’ me? I’m flattered!” She leaned in close. “I’d love that.”

Keqing flushed, and hurriedly started shoving fried shrimp into her mouth. Hu Tao leaned back and laughed.

“Your face is priceless!” She shrieked. “Oh, Archons, I’m so sorry, but that was so funny!”

Keqing glared at Hu Tao over her stuffed cheeks, too dignified to start yelling through a mouth full of shrimp, but needing to get her point across. Hu Tao just laughed more.

“I never bought it when guys said this but, Keqing, you’re cute when you’re angry.”

Keqing felt the receding heat in her cheeks return full-force, and she swallowed and pointed her chopsticks at Hu Tao. “You. Are on thin ice.”

Hu Tao giggled, picking at the noodle dish that Keqing hadn’t even noticed was there. “Well, unfortunately I’m a Pyro! So say bye-bye to your ice, Miss. Or, rather,” she says, catching a glimpse of Keqing’s Electro vision, “Prepare to be Overloaded! By, uh. Feelings.” Hu Tao slammed her face into the counter, narrowly missing her noodles. “Way to go, hotshot,” she muttered.

Keqing paused. “What do you mean?”

Hu Tao suddenly stood up. “HAHA LOOK AT THE TIME I BET MR. ZHONGLI IS ON HIS DATE NOW, WOW! I MUST BE GOING!”

Keqing quickly grabbed the cuff on Hu Tao’s jacket. “Wait, I want an explanation.”

Hu Tao looked away, and made eye contact with Xiangling, who had shamelessly stopped working to pay attention to their conversation. Xiangling giggled at the helpless face Hu Tao was making.

“May I?” Xiangling asked, leaving the kitchen for good. When Hu Tao nodded, Xiangling Turned to Keqing, a semi-serious expression on her face. “We need privacy! Ms. Keqing, if you’d be so kind as to come with us?”

Keqing was a little confused by the turn of events, but still desperately wanted to know what was happening. So she nodded, and followed the two young ladies to a more secluded area down by the docks.

When they got to a quiet area, Hu Tao looked less nervous and embarrassed, but Xiangling’s mischievous grin had only grown wider.

Xiangling spun around. “So Hu Tao has something to tell you!”

Hu Tao shot a glare at the younger girl, then started fidgeting with her hands. “Well, the truth is. I’m a lesbian.”

“Congrats,” Keqing said, not quite getting what was happening. After all, she was a demisexual herself, but even so, she didn’t get the hangup around sexualities.

“And I have a crush on you.”

Oh.

Keqing felt her face flush again, and Hu Tao kept talking.

“I’m really sorry, but you’re just so smart, and strong, and cool, and you’re cute when you’re mad, and you’re so kind at your core, and you’re not afraid to express yourself. And before I knew it, I really, really liked you!”

Keqing finally finished processing everything Hu Tao was saying, her eyes going wide. Xiangling had long since departed with a song on her lips, but now all Keqing could see was Hu Tao silhouetted by the moonlight on the bay water.

“Hu Tao.”

“You don’t have to reciprocate! I just. Wanted to explain why I was being a little. Weird. I’ll leave you alone, now. Forever.”

“No, wait.” Keqing held her hands up and shook her head. “This isn’t a rejection. I may not be ready to try dating yet, is all. I’m, uh. Pretty slow when it comes to this stuff. You may have to give it some time to see if there is anything. But. Maybe, there is a chance. Don’t give up hope, Hu Tao.” She hesitantly placed her hands on Hu Tao’s. “Just. Be patient? Please?”

Hu Tao nodded with a watery smile. “I can wait. I can wait a hundred lifetimes if it means I get to spend even one with you.”

Keqing felt a tingle in her soul at that statement. A promise was wrapped inside.

--

The Lantern Rite was reaching its peak. The big fireworks show, this time personally overseen by the family from Inazuma, was about to launch. And instead of supervising the launch like she had in years past, Keqing was running through the crowded streets, looking for just one person.

She ran past the Feiyun guild, where Xingqiu was chatting with some Mondstadters. She ran past Yelan who was talking with Yanfei and Ganyu. She ran past Shenhe, who was perusing goods with Chongyun. Past Ningguang, Zhongli, and Beidou. Finally, down by the docks again, she found her.

Hu Tao turned around at the sound of Keqings festival heels clicking against the ground. She opened her arms up, and Keqing threw herself into them.

As the first fireworks went off, Keqing pulled back. “Hu Tao. I like you, too. I like you back. This is fast for me, but you are kind, and you are a fantastic listener, and you make me laugh. And you’re cute when you laugh with me. So yes, I like you. A lot.”

Hu Tao smiled, happy tears forming in the corners of her eyes. “So, can I ask you to be mine?”

“I already am.”

Keqing’s confession was punctuated by the largest firework of the night going off in the sky, and as the two girls leaned in close for the first time, the world seemed to fall silent.
