#i have gotten emotionally attached to the harbingers i have no excuse

This guy showed up at 10 pity on 50/50 when his banner was running and this gave me an idea for the Sanctuary AU:

Imagine the legacy creatures just randomly showing up in your office while you're working a night shift. They dont do anything like cause mayhem or terror(Kaeya and some of the Harbingers cause mischief at most) but all of them just want to see you. You are in your office filling out paper work and your notice movement in the cages and you later find they're broken open. But instead of some dramatic climax like in horror movies you just see Childe and Dainsleif, standing by your door way, you only seeing their torsos because they dont fit frame and all they do is just.

[Chirp translation] "I got a nightmare can I sleepy with you tonight."

And you agree every time. Not because you feel like you have to, but because what better way to work a graveyard shift then stargazing while being surrounded by abyssmal monsters.

Bonus: You begin to notice that some of the creatures are always finding their way out even if theres no indication of them breaking out. Its then you learn some these guys can teleport... so they'll pop in and out and you never question it.

YESSSS MORE SANCTUARY AU OMNOMNOMN

oh my goodness just imagine seeing all of the Abyssal monsters standing outside looking at you pleadingly- Childe and Dainsleif are there because they get nightmares, Kaeya follows because he knows they're going to go see you, Diluc chases him because he KNOWS Kaeya's going to cause mischief, and Albedo's just curious. anyone else who arrives is either wondering where they're going or thinking "hey, they're going to see my favorite person (you), I deserve to see my favorite person too!!!" so you have several Abyss creatures staring at you and you sigh and just open your arms as you walk out the door so you can hug them as best you can!! you've got paperwork to do, but you can easily do that outside with a candle (you're used to working late nights since you're one of the only people who can get everyone to sleep)

the first one to sneak into your office was Childe, no questions asked. he gets nightmares more than almost anyone (except maybe Dainsleif. Kaeya is a close second) and he's also the closest to your office, so one night when he had a really bad terror he just slipped out of his enclosure and went to find you, working hard during a graveyard shift. you quickly discover that late nights are infinitely better with a purring Legacy on your lap, especially since you can play with his fluff while you read. Childe's permanent spot is your lap, it's no one else's, that is HIS SPOT. he's normally quite friendly but he can and WILL shove anyone off your lap if he wants snuggles

you find out about the teleporting thing when Columbina just APPEARS behind you one day- it scares you half to death and there's no indication that she broke out, and then she just vanishes again with a little pop. MOST of the Abyssal creatures don't abuse this power- except Columbina and Dottore. they use it all the time because they love giving everyone a good scare. honestly, Columbina is pretty relaxed apart from the initial fright, she mostly likes wandering around and humming or dozing in places, but Dottore is an absolute MENACE. you're still trying to figure out some way to get him to stay in his enclosure so everyone can rest a bit easier, but for now you've learned to identify the sound he makes when he appears and disappears (the only time you're fine with any of them suddenly appearing is if they're hurting somehow or had a nightmare, then you comfort them for the rest of the day)
