#i love talking about Melusine and that world

[feeblescholarmyass]

WHAT IS THE MOST KNOWN MYTH

I'm gonna kiss you hard on the mouth thank you for the ask

OKAY most known myth in Felidæ (country that the first two books focuses on) would probably be the story of the first Enchantress- at least the watered down version taught to children to encourage them to worship the Enchantress and monarchy as one. In Araness (location of the 3rd book and country where Alex's mother is from and where their sister lived prior to the events of book 1) it would be the story of Melusine, the water goddess they worship with the highest divinity besides the Creator.

The myth of the Enchantress (watered down version) goes as such: when the wasteland of eastern Felidæ first began to deteriorate into what it was, small villages that used to farm the land were the first to succumb to famine and disease. As the Disease spread across the land, the people of Felidæ began to panic. They searched for any way to cut themselves off from the "infected" land, but nothing could stop it from spreading. After a couple years of this, a young girl of the age of 13 came to visit. She was a scholar from Araness, who had spent her childhood learning to harness magic. Her magic was wild and unruly, much like the power of the goddess Melusine. She had come to Felidæ in hopes to find something to help her harness it. While she was traveling by caravan to the furthest surviving eastern city, Tabithia, she was thrown into the wilderness by a storm caused by the ever-expanding disease, along with the other cargo it had been pulling. Hidden in that cargo had been a kitten, shivering and crying for help. She felt sympathy for the kitten and carried it with her as she followed the road to Tabithia on foot. Just as she reached the outskirts of the city, the storm started to get worse. Sand and flames and pathogens swirled in the air, raging towards the helpless city. The kitten was torn from the girl into the storm and she ran after it. She instinctively used her magic to protect the cat, and the sheer force of the spell she used seeped into the very spirit of the land, quieting the anger of the spirits who had caused the Disease and all that came with it. The citizens of Tabithia had seen what happened and brought the girl and her kitten to the King, saying she needed to be recognized for her heroic deeds. The King agreed and offered her a position as his advisor, thus creating the position of Enchantress. Ever since the Enchantress has been the main advisor to the crown in honor of the girl who saved Felidæ from destruction.

The story of Melusine is my favorite. When the world was first created, the Creator had meant for it to be a haven of her own, away from the chaos of her family of Gods. She'd made it the perfect paradise for herself, with huge open space and no one she had to share it with. However, she soon find herself becoming lonely. She had trapped herself in a prison without the ones she loved, somewhere nothing could ever reach her. She shed a tear, and when that tear hit the earth of the planet, the first ocean was created. Water rushed around the earth, and infused with the essence of the Creator, life sprang in its wake. Beautiful, luscious plants grew where water touched the earth, and animals formed of the salt in the water. The final thing water created as it rushed around the rocky planet was a waterfall. The water rushed into a pool, crystal clear and reflective. In that reflection a Goddess was born. The first Goddess and daughter of the Creator, the water spirit, Melusine. Melusine, being born of sadness, was a lonesome and depressed spirit. Even though all creatures were made of her waters, they all returned to such when they died. This saddened the Goddess. So she roams the earth, sobbing at the thought that even though she was the harbinger of the beginning of all life, she was doomed to be their end as well.

hi!! i was wondering if you could do adult! gn reader that got transported to teyvat with verlaine? i love your works!

If you were not alone

Part XII

Characters: Self-Aware! Paul Verlaine

Reader: GN! Adult! Reader

Warning: OOC. English is my second language. Some violence.

🇫🇷 You and Paul were on a walk, when that happened. One moment, you two were in a park. Next moment you were laying on the ground. You were dizzy, the world was spinning before your eyes. Verlaine was luckier than you. At least, he was standing. And, perhaps, he didn't get a headache, or, at least, was better at keeping himself together. He was holding good enough to walked to you and effortlessly pick you up and put you back on your feet.

A few minutes later, the world stopped having a rolling party, and you finally managed to look around. You looked at grass, at trees, at water and at familiar giant blue blocks of Fontaine Research Institute.

You felt Paul's hand squeezing your shoulder.

"[Y/N], since when your..." Paul noticed the side glance you gave him and corrected himself. "Our world's technology became that advance to have an antigravity?"

Your chuckle was bitter.

"We aren't home."

🇫🇷 You took your time to explain To Paul what Teyvat (and Fontaine) are. During your explanation, Paul nodded from time or hummed, showing, that he understands. However, when you tried to share the Idea of Genshin Impact Characters also being self-aware, Verlaine shook his head in disagreement.

Apparently, BSD Cast, before transportation, monitored every last of your apps. To find more about Real World, to take care of you. And to investigate, if someone else has become self-aware.

There was nothing wrong with Genshin wrong. It was just a game.

"I admit, it is possible, that we overlooked something, and they were self-aware all this time. Nevertheless, let's be careful. We don't know, how they will react to us."

With that in mind, you two start moving, using Callas Line as a "waymark" to Court of Fontaine.

You run into Fatui Operatives, tho... For some reason, they insisted on getting into a fight.

At least, now you have mora and operatives will be on a sick leave.

🇫🇷 Plan was simple.

Get to city - Go to the Adventurers' Guild - Ask Katheryne about Traveler's whereabouts (or Alice's)

You two get into the city (with some difficulty). Entrance from institute's direction was a bit hard to reach. And, as Paul pointed out, if he uses his ability to get to the aquabus station, you will get unwanted attention.

It's not like you didn't get it.

The atmosphere in a capital was... strange.

People were staring at you. Their eyes were full of confusion. You heard a whispered "Aren't their Holiness were with Monsieur Neuvillette today?"

"Holiness"? Is there a religion in Teyvat Hoyo still haven't dropped a lore about?

Melusines were looking at you with a mix of disbelief and hope. You overheard Muirne whispering "They are the real one. Who else would be traveling with a living embodiment of a storm". (You sneak a glance at Paul after that words, but, he either didn't hear her, didn't care about her words or did a good job hiding his emotions).

It was hard to navigate through Fontaine. You decided to go to Palais Mermonia and take the elevator here.

You reached Palais Mermonia.

And came face to face with your own doppelgänger and Neuvillette.

Your double... The moment they looked at you, they started to look sick. And you weren't talking about "pale, stuffed nose, have a fever" kind of sick. They looked at you with outright predatory gaze. They were trembling. The white of their eyes looked yellowish.

For some reason, you thought about withdrawal.

Paul grabbed your shoulder and pull you behind him. The emotions in his dark-brown-eyes were... You might call it "time-to-pray-so-Monsieur-Paul-Verlaine-hopefully-will-forget-that-we-exist."

The silence can be cut with a knife.

Your double point their finger at you. Their voice rang in the air.

"Preposterous! Dirty Sinner, how dare you impersonate my Holy Looks. Get them! Lay their body before my feet..."

The sickening crunch cut their speech short. With animalistic howl, your double fall on the ground.

You felt sick, trying not to look at what happened to their legs.

A bloodied mora coin, still under the influence of Paul's ability, hit the wall of Palais Mermonia, sticking deep inside, making a huge crack.

Neuvillette, guards and mekas attacked.

Paul, without looking, grabbed you and threw you on his back. He almost barked.

"Hold on tight!"

The fight begun.

🇫🇷 After the fight (at the end of which half of mekas can be sold for scrap, and Fleuve Cendre got a beautiful skylight, that was snapped like Hydro Archon statue.

While Neuvillette and others retrieve (while taking injured "Creator" with them), you finally reached The Guild.

Katherine, who supposed to be an android doll with a very limited functions and with undying loyalty to Teyvat and Creator, after taking a look at Paul's grin, was not only ready to tell you about Traveler and Alice, but also about the partisans, the smugglers from Snezhnaya, the atheists of Mondstadt, the nihilists of Natlan, the flat, where Pantalone hides his secret stash of mora, Capitano's doll collection and the shop, where Tsaritsa buys scarfs.

After getting all necessary information, you and Paul decided to search for Alice.

🇫🇷 Traveling with Paul Verlaine was like traveling with a portable avalanche/earthquake/volcano eruption/any catastrophic event, that makes people run for their lives. And it wasn't only because of ability, that can turn mountains into flat surface. Paul himself looked imposing and dangerous.

Yes, he was King of Assassins. But, ever since BSD Cast get into the real world, Verlaine was just minding his own business.

He spent time with Rimbaud, helped Flags, if they were in a need of heavy lifting or another pair of hands, talked with Chuuya. He spent time with you, cooked French cuisine, read books. And nothing in his facial expression implied, that he is dangerous.

But, Teyvat and constant danger you were in. That makes him show, how dangerous he truly is.

🇫🇷 The journey was rocky. You would say, that after what happened in Fontaine, people won't dare to attack you. Perhaps, it does decrease the number of attackers. But, there were devoted ones, who were going all and beyond during attacks. They would either try to separate you from Paul, or try to lead a large scale attacks.

For now, they didn't succeed. Nevertheless, Paul was on his guard and insisted on you staying where he can see you.

You weren't against it. It wasn't the situation for arguing.

You got to Sumeru. You got help from Nahida and Wanderer. Apparently, Alice was in Natlan. The nation, that still was hesitant in letting "Creator" stepped on their land. Wanderer even shared some rumors about a barrier around Natlan. Barrier, that keeps Creator away.

Dehya and Candace helped you and Paul cross the desert.

You swore, that you could see a barrier made of Phlogiston around Natlan. You braced yourself and made a step forward.

Barrier let you two through.

🇫🇷 You spend in Natlan a mere five minutes, but Saurian population, for some reason, already adored you. On top of it, baby tepetlisaurs and baby yumkasaurs seems to like Paul and his hat. He scoffed and rolled his eyes, but let them nibble on his fingers and hat.

Paul felt relieved. He didn't show it, but he was extremely worried about you. He was afraid, that one day you will get hurt, or you will wander off and get captured, or you will get sick. Yes, you were an adult, but he still was worried. And having a bunch of cartoony dinosaurs helping to protect you was reassuring.

You get to the Stadium of the Sacred Flame without troubles.

And was met with Pyro Archon herself.

🇫🇷 Mavuika asked you and Paul to join her for dinner. Well, it was a mix of interrogation and dinner. Everything went mostly neutral, until Mavuika decided to press further into your supposed "Real Creator" status. She didn't outright say, that you were lying about not knowing anything about being a Creator and just being a simple person, but Pyro Archon made it clear, that she didn't trust you. And, perhaps, it would be beneficial for Natlan to sell you out to the Holy Guard.

Paul didn't like the implication. The stone table was crushed under his hands. He was towering above Pyro Archon.

"If you dared to lay a finger on them, I will crush your precious little nation."

You grabbed Paul's hand. He looked like he was ready to become a Demonic Beast Guivre, and without Dazai it would be a death sentence. To Teyvat and to Paul.

Mavuika took Paul's threat well. She nodded, gave you a half-bow. She spoke.

"I knew what it means to be a mortal in a position of a God. Forgive me for my small performance. I need to make sure. Your companion has a loyalty of a warrior. I will help you. I will send a letter to Alice. She will be here in a few days. Until then, you are my guests".

🇫🇷 Paul felt relieved. You were almost safe. The Stadium of the Sacred Flame was full of music and warmth, and people weren't here to attack you.

In a few days, you met Alice.

While giving your goodbyes to Mavuika, she suddenly asked.

"I understand, that I have no right to give you two that kind of task. But, if you knew someone who can help us to deal with imposter, could you, please, send them here? People of Teyvat aren't bad. They are scared."

You didn't promise anything. But you kept her request in mind.

Alice prepared a portal. You and Verlaine finally returned home.

_______

🇫🇷 The Return was something. You two were gone for almost two months, making everyone worried sick about you two. The story of Teyvat made everyone angry and curious. Kids wanted to see saurians, adults wanted to help people, who helped you, and punish people, who tried to hurt you.

You and Verlaine were sitting under the starry sky. You whispered.

You secretly also wanted to help Mavuika, Alice, Dehya, Candace, Nahida and Wanderer. They didn't deserve to get in trouble because of you.

________

"Paul... If one day I decide to return to Teyvat and save everyone, will you..."

You didn't get a chance to finish, when Paul turned his head towards you and nuzzle the top of your head.

"I will come. You won't be alone, [Y/N]."

Stream theory! time:

I am here to write my thoughts about the Neuvillette part of the stream/trailer, feel free to share yours too!

"The Melusines can't be trusted! That goes for Neuvillette too!"

So, first I have to say I'm heartbroken to hear that the Melusines and Neuvillette can't be trusted, but idc idc i trust them no matter what. And the Melusines saying: "I'm confident that we'll find the meaning of our existence one day" truly broke my heart.

To keep going with the Neuvillette angst we have The Chief of Justice himself saying: "I find it difficult to express my emotions, because I cannot fully understand myself" The struggle to deal with accusations from your own people that they don't trust you while being unable to show them how you really feel... and to add to that whatever rumours saying that u were born from calamity?? I'm so confused and sooo hyped to get the full lore.

'is this what justice means to u? answer me neuvillette!'

First, let me point out THE VOICE ACTING FOR THIS LINE IS CHEF KISS. It sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it. And every time I hear it I'm thinking, what verdict did Neuvillette come to for Wrio to deliver such a powerful line? Maybe it's about Lyney and Lynette? Because we hear Freminet asking Wrio about his siblings and I'm thinking that maybe Wrio goes and demands an explanation from Neuvillette?

"You will see much in the human world, from the delightful to the depressing and one day, when you have dwelt among humanity long enough, you will be placed to bring judgement over all, as the spokesperson for Fontaine's past"

Can't move on from this line without pointing out the informal addressing here. No Monsieur or anything. Straight up Neuvillette. I'm curious to see how close the characters are and why does Wrio sounds so hurt/betrayed.

edit: a lot of people told me the voice line is from an npc but im too tired to delete everything👍

THIS??? raised so many questions in my head it's crazy. it's unnecessary. The hold this last line has on me is absurd. I think it's directly addressed to Neuvillette and I'm curious why is he the one bringing judgement over all? why is he the one shown all alone in a grey and dull Fontaine?why not Furina? What does "spokesperson for Fontaine's past" suppose to mean??Like we already speculated about him being the Hydro Dragon, but this is *sniff* i smell GREAT storyline.

Genshin is about to drop heeeeavy lore and I'm here for it.

"its unnecessary to hold me in such high regard"

Last line in the trailer. Neuvillette said this right after being shown as one of the most powerful people in the whole nation really. He is either really modest or just tries to hide the fact that he's the most powerful in the nation. Or both. Honestly I'm not even sure of what to say about this, I just had to add it here because Neuvillette said it and I'm in whoo for him.

Him🤝Zhongli , fancy talking and acting like they don't have supreme power.

Last thought: this trailer was so powerful and sad over all. I'm expecting the archon quest to be an emotional rollercoaster with one or two emotional punches. I just know Neuvillette story will make me sob. Just look at him.

p.s. : I saw someone pointing out that the creators said that Neuvillette made a law so that the Melusines to be addressed as she/her and that fills my heart with joy. Neuvillette is shown to be oh so powerful and 'born from calamity' or whatever and yet he's one of the sweetest and kindest characters. 🫶🏼

Conclusion: i love neuvillette and idc about false accusations 😊🫶🏼

[gold-rhine]

all of Neuvi's lines finally unlocked and there is a lot of great stuff in here, but the constellation one took me out. there is all this talk of fate and his disdain for celestia's puppet-lines, and then turns out he doesn't have one and made it up bc his adopted abomination daughters were excited about astrology asdfghjkl

"Of course, he was born in the form of a human. But why, then, is his name the image of the great leviathan? Well, this leads us to a more mundane explanation for the situation, one quite separate from grave matters of the world's fate: As the one named "Neuvillette," he would often be roped by Melusines (especially Sigewinne) into a bit of astrology via The Steambird's constellation columns or astrology guides from Sumeru. Would it really do, at that point, to tell them that he "didn't have a constellation" or that his own constellation was just "Neuvillette"?

I LOVE HIM, it basically went

Neuvi: Constellations are nothing but leashes that usurpers use to impose their rule, they have no power over me and they will be rightfully burned

Melusines, info-dumping at him about astrology for hours and then asking with stars in their eyes: What is your constellation?

Neuivi: Oh, right. The constellation. The constellation for me, constellation that exists specifically for me. My constellation. Of course I have a constellation, and it has a very cool name that is definitely not just my own name. It's called Leviathan. Judicator. Leviathan Judicator.

[bedoballoons]

I have been so excited for this one, like it's just such a creative idea and I'm so so sorry you had to wait so long for me to write it @delicatefestivalcreator , I hope you still enjoy anyway! >///<

{༻~Courage and cowardice~༺}

CW: GN! Reader, mentions of the reader being a little bit scared at first, but growth and bravery in the end~

(Includes: Lyney, Neuvillette, Freminet, and Wriothesley!)

𑁍༄Lyney:

"L-lyney, are you sure they aren't following us? What if they are secretly a assassin? They were sent out to kill as many fatui as they can because one fatui agent killed the assassins brother! They could hunt you down and Lynette and Frem-"

"Oh love, they are just out to get some coffee, look." Lyney chuckled at you, pulling you close so you could follow his line of sight...upon closer inspection, the person really did just seem like they wanted a nice cup of coffee.

"Oh..my bad..."

"Sweetheart, the worlds not always out to get you, I promise and even if someone tried...I'm here to keep you safe and I can protect myself too. I appreciate your concern, but you don't have to be so scared. I will never let anything bad happen to you." You turned to face him, letting his words sink in as he kissed your lips softly. Somehow, knowing that he'd always keep you safe...it made all those worries seem nonexistent...even made you feel a little braver.

𑁍༄Neuvillette:

"What if I get trialed...it's a false accusation, but they have fabricated the evidence and convinced the oratrice of my guilt. I get the death sentence...or if I don't, they find a way to kill me while in the fortress!" You shuddered at the thought, scooching closer to Neuvillette as the two of you sat in the opera house. You'd asked to see it...even planned to talk with him about how trials go, but being inside the place made you more aware of how terrifying it would be to be in the guilty persons place.

"Please, do not fear such things. I would find the means to prove your innocence, even if it meant resigning from my place as chief of justice." He kissed the top of your head, silently wondering what it would be like if he did resign..if all that time that normally went into trails was spent with you instead...perhaps there wouldn't be so many rainy days.

"I could never ask you do to that!"

"...I don't believe I ever said you'd have to. Just know that I would never loose you so easily."

"...never?"

"Never."

𑁍༄Wriothesley:

"Has he killed someone? W-what about her?? Wrio, are you sure I should be here? What if someone sees us together and tries to kill me to get to you?! Or what if they use you to get information out of me, like tell us his the code to his safe or he gets it!" Your bit your nails, your eyes frantically scanning every prisoner that walked by you, why had you come to the fortress again??

"Actually, hes here because he beat up a man who'd bullied multiple Melusines and she's here because she stole a bag for her sibling cause she couldn't afford to buy it for them. Sometimes, people do bad things for the right reasons, that doesn't make them good, but it doesn't necessarily make the bad either." He waved at them both as you followed close behind, seems your mind had gotten the better of you yet again...but knowing they weren't murderers didn't make the fortress less scary.

"There are killers here though...how can I not be afraid?"

He paused midstep, making you bump into his back...had your words stumped him?

"I'm a killer, but you seem perfectly content being around me." Those words were on your mind all day...he was a killer, but you seemed perfectly content around him. Others were easily afraid of him and yet you never were, so maybe the fears you had were never really that scary at all.

𑁍༄Freminet:

"Freminet! I-im scared! What if something's under my feet!" You struggled to keep yourself afloat on the oceans surface, suddenly regretting joining him for a swim...he always made the water sound like home, but the idea of something lurking beneath the waves or getting stuck somewhere and never being found..."F-freminet!!"

"Hey calm down, it's okay." He wrapped his arms around you, keeping you afloat while his cheeks turned a rosey hue, "Do you trust me?" You bit your bottom lip, staring into his eyes as you contemplated that question...of course you trusted him, but the rest of the world was up from debate..

"Yes...I, I trust you."

He kissed your forehead and softly pulled you under the surface of the water, for a second you thought you were going to panick...but you forgot all about your worries. Fish of every colour and plants you'd never seen...bubbles floating softly to the surface and sparkling shells catching your eye. It was more beautiful than words could describe...and for once, not a single thing scared you.

ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚~Have a nice day!~*⁠.⁠✧

[catcze]

here me out.. so like i was scrolling a pinterest and i found this one song on spotify called “cigarettes out the window x dangerously yours” and the first thing i thought about is neuvillette!! LIKE THE BRAINROTS IN MY HEAD RN. reader and him are in his office 😱

OH OH OH OH OH OKAY HOLD ON HOL D ONNNN 👀👀👀👀 The way i opened YT so fast!??! HASKJDNA but my GOD do i see what u mean anon—

I'm getting vibes of reader who is, perhaps, from the fatui? or from some other hostile organization (idk im workign on it 💔) and they get assigned to be a double agent at the Palais Mermonia and acquire sensitive information for the organization they work for. Initially, they weren't supposed to do anything complicated— they certainly weren't even supposed to ever cross paths with the chief justice of Fontaine. But what do you know, Neuvillette falls for you first and invites you out to a meal, and you can't necessarily refuse.

Your superiors are delighted by the change in plans— if you get closer to the chief justice, you could easily get your hands on all sorts of information! So, although you're hesitant, you're forced to go along with getting closer to Neuvillette. But over time, you find that he's much, much more than most people think he is. He's more caring and gentle that most realize, and he's so sweet. Gods, he is so sweet. The way he cares for every single melusine is adorable. The way he enthusiastically encourages you to try water that he imported from gods-knows-where, just because he says that it taste fresh and clear like no other. And the way his eyes shine when you take a sip and tell him that he's right, that it's sp distinct, and he smiles, and you don't have the heart to tell him that in truth, it just tastes like water to you.

Before you know it, you're actually falling for Neuvillette. Not for the mission, not for the files. You're genuinely becoming head over heels for him. You can't tell your superiors this— you know you'd be pulled out and disposed of immediately now that you're compromised, but you can't go along with deceiving Neuvillette anymore. But if you tell him... no doubt he'd turn you away, like the double-crosser you are.

But you still find yourself in front of his office anyway, a heavy hand and a heavier heart knocking on his doors.

"Come in," he says.

And it's hard. Gods, it's so hard to come clean to him. You stutter and you just can't seem to spit out the words, so Neuvillette decides to talk first. He pulls something out of a drawer and sets it on his desk, opening its contents for you to see. And you gasp, because these are the files that you had been told were the highest priority. If you ever got your hands on them, you were to risk your life to get them back to your organization.

"Why are you showing me this?" You ask him, voice quiet, brow furrowed. Your hand reaches out to touch the papers, but you hesitate. Neuvillette just watches you, smiling mysteriously.

"Because you have my wholehearted trust," is all he says, and it's enough to break you.

The tears come flowing faster than you can help them. There's a lump in your throat, making it hard to breathe. Even as you splutter out the words, the confessions to why you're here, why you got close to him, and everything else in between, Neuvillette listens patiently. He doesn't yell, doesn't glare or curse you out. He doesn't shout for guards to come and toss you into the darkest pits of Meropide. Instead, he's calm.

"I know," he says as a means of explanation, and you still. His hand reaches across the desk, holding yours gently. "Since the very first day we met, when you stood beside me drenched in rain on the balcony, I've known. And my heart is yours anyway."

You shake your head, still crying quietly. "I will betray you. If not, I will be killed."

Neuvillette's hand squeezes yours. "Do you think so little of me that I would allow any harm to befall you, my love?"

"I think the world of you," you argue, and he smiles.

"There is no safer place for you than by my side. Should there be any threat to your life, I would use every ounce of my power to dispose of it, " Neuvillette vows. "Your organization has made a great many mistakes, but the greatest of them all has been sending you to me, and expecting me to ever let harm befall you."

HAJSDSAJKL LISTEN the monologue in the clip that i found (hopefully we're talking abt the same mashup ?!?!?) was longer + had more drama but OUGH my brain craves soft sweet tender romance without too much drama and life-or-death haksdkajs

- He loves to cook for you and even if you don't want to, he makes you breakfast *every morning*, he also always reminds you to drink water and stay hydrated!

- Neuvillette loves the melusines, and while he is with you, he loves spending afternoons together helping melusines with their chores.

- He is *completely* in love with you, for him, you are the most beautiful woman/man in the world and he would give anything to keep you with him forever.

- Neuvillette lets you taste all the waters from all regions, even the most expensive ones, and talks to you about the taste of each one for hours! (Good luck)

- Neuvillette is not only a crybaby after trials, but... He requires comfort during his crises... He also has a habit of overworking himself :( but whenever you are around he pays you a lot of attention :)

"My love, you are the best thing that ever happened to me" He says while crying after one of the trials, it was a difficult day and he just wanted to be with you... His eyes were smudged from his eyeliner and his tears made a black streak from his eyes to the tip of his chin.

(AUTHOR NOTE: he is so sweet! Seriously, I want to marry this man!)

99 Years, 6 Months, 16 Days

“So…how long until Carole wakes up again?”

Death was a concept that seemed to elude the melusine; they didn’t seem to age past the childish form they were born in despite the oldest melusine being a few years old now. For such an intelligent group of creatures, Furina was sometimes struck by their naivete, and in this case it was her unhappy duty to educate them on the uglier sides of the world.

“Dear…Carole isn’t going to wake up.” Furina said softly, rubbing the little melusine’s head as the small skiff beat across the waves towards Elynas.

Rain had come and gone in the few days since the riot, only clearing the morning of Carole's funeral. Had any other melusine been harmed, Furina feared Neuvillette's sorrow or rage would have drowned the entire country; thankfully they had all found refuge in the undercity before the riot got ugly. Vautrin and a handful of officers had shepherded them to the Palais Mermonia before the sun rose on the day following Carole’s death, a small legion of gardemeks ensuring none of the townsfolk got any funny ideas.

But just as quickly as the riot started, it had fizzled out. No one who had participated in the night’s violence was making a show of it; even Thibert’s attempts to frame the riot as inspired by the melusine were beginning to fall on deaf ears as people moved to quickly distance themselves from Thibert’s failed uprising. It was hard to frame someone who had willingly submitted to being beaten to death as a bloodthirsty killer and even those who were opposed to the melusine were quiet about it after Neuvillette dispersed the crowd. 

The tides were beginning to turn. Carole had delivered Furina a golden opportunity to set the country back on its feet and she was not about to squander it. But first, she needed to explain death to a species who had never experienced it yet. 

“So she’s just gonna sleep forever?” Kiara replied, her nose wrinkling. “How’s she going to get her work done in that case?” 

Neuvillette was silent as he stared at the approaching shoreline of Elynas, a small bundle wrapped in clean white cloth tucked in his arms. The pack of melusine that accompanied them back to Elynas were in their usual high spirits, cheerfully looking over the edge of the boat and skimming their hands in the water. For all that they loved Carole, none of them seemed particularly perturbed by her demise.

“She’s…not going to be working anymore,” Furina sighed. “Death is…an end of duty. And an end to Carole's life. You’re not going to be able to talk to her anymore or…see her anymore or play with her anymore.” 

Kiara’s brow furrowed, staring at the bundle in Neuvillette’s arms. “No? But…how do you know that she won’t wake up?” 

Furina swallowed a lump in her throat. “Because death means not waking up.” 

“For humans, but…melusine are different, aren’t we?” Kiara said. “How do you know we won’t wake up after we die?” 

“Because…that’s how it is for everyone,” Furina said. “After a creature dies…” 

Furina trailed off. Gods were supposed to know things like this; the mysteries of life and death that perplexed humans were the playthings of divinity. But for once, Furina couldn’t bring herself to lie and spin some story of a paradise for melusine after death. It wasn’t fair to get their hopes up on another lie.

“Hm…I guess if you say so,” Kiara shrugged, sounding thoroughly unconvinced. “Although…Carole was ‘dead’ before she was born, wasn’t she? What’s to say she can’t be born again?”

Furina stared at Neuvillette’s back. Reincarnation was possible but-

“Well…we’re going to put Carole’s old body to rest,” Furina said, deciding to take up the matter of mortality another day. “I guess we’ll see if she’ll be born again someday-” 

“Furina,” Neuvillette hissed. “Who are those people on the shore?” 

Furina’s stomach plunged as she saw a small crowd of people waiting on the shore of Elynas, torches flickering in the darkness. She had left the city with only a handful of dedicated gardes, not wanting to draw attention to the funeral in case some unfriendly people decided to crash it.

“I thought Vautrin was the only person who knew about this,” Neuvillette growled, gripping his cane and tucking Carole’s body close to his chest. The calm lake waters grew suddenly choppier, threatening to tip the boat over before they reached the shore. 

“W-W-Wait a second! Let’s just calm down and see what they want,” Furina cautioned. As they drew nearer, she could make out Vautrin at the front of the small crowd, shuffling his feet uncomfortably as their boat drew up onto the shore. 

“Captain!” Furina hissed, jumping off the boat and grabbing Vautrin’s elbow before Neuvillette could leave the boat. “Who are these people?!” 

“A-Apologies, Lady Furina…I know you instructed me to keep this a secret, but-” Vautrin turned back to the small crowd of twenty or so humans, all dressed soberly and waiting on the shores of Elynas. “...Carole spent a lot of time in the undercity. The people who live down there don’t exactly get Suavegothe’s editorials so they weren’t as eager to hate the melusine as the rest of the city was. In fact Carole…well you know how she was. Always helping people and making everyone’s lives better…some of them asked if they could pay respects.” 

Furina’s eyes drifted to the other people on the island who, as their torchlight fell on her, realized they were in the presence of the Hydro Archon. 

“Are you sure you can trust them?” Furina asked, eyes falling on a young girl peeking out from behind her father’s leg. “The Iudex is in a very touchy mood…if any of these people hurt the melusine here, I can’t guarantee their safety.” 

“I will make sure that doesn’t happen…but I know these people,” Vautrin insisted. “Carole's sisters wouldn't have survived if some of these people didn't take them in; the mob could have just as easily done them in too.”

Furina noted more flowers than pitchforks clutched in the hands of the people and as the melusine landed beside her, she saw no bricks flying their way. Furina glanced back at Neuvillette, still lingering on the gangplank of the ship with a wary look on his face. After a moment’s deliberation, she nodded to him, prompting him to slowly come down the ramp to join her. 

“You don’t mind a few extra mourners, do you?” Furina asked quietly. 

“...this wasn’t part of the plan,” Neuvillette muttered. 

“None of this was…,” Furina reminded him, turning to greet the crowd with a look of serene sorrow; the face of a goddess who had pity for mortal suffering, but betrayed no suffering of her own. “Good evening…I am very sorry to make your acquaintances under such grim circumstances but-” 

“Are you really Lady Furina?” A girl called from behind her mother’s leg. 

“A-Annabelle!” The girl’s mother laughed nervously. “F-Forgive me, Lady Furina; we didn’t expect to see you here.” 

“Honest questions never require forgiveness,” Furina said, smiling at the bashful girl peeking up at her. “Although right now, I’m just a friend of Carole's, come to lay her to rest. If you are here for the same reason, then you are welcome to join us. But…”

Pause for dramatic effect, Furina thought, fixing the crowd with her most Neuvillettesque glare. “Know that if any of you here wish to harm the melusine, you will suffer the same terrible curse as those who killed Carole.” 

“C-Curse?!” A woman in the crowd gasped. 

“Curse?” Neuvillette hissed in her ear. 

“Improvise with me! ” Furina hissed back.

[a-998h]

One

*Warning this contains some angst and some vague drugging*

Creator's POV

Turns out, the place I'm being housed is were Furina used to live. This placeis crawling with gards and Neuvillettecan visit me at any moment. However, I don't want to be stuck here. I'm running out of time and I'm still down two cores.

Panic sets in as I realize someone, or many someones, is trying to keep me here and it might have to do with people thinking I'm a fucking god! I'm screwed!

My cheeks feel wet, I'm crying. I just sit down on the sofa and cry my anger and frustration out. I think back to what lead me to this moment...

I found this cool game, tried it out and got hooked. The stories, the characters, and art, everything made me love this game. Now, that love has gotten me trapped in this world with only one day to find what I need to get out.

Maybe, I should just end it all, people back home have probably given up on looking for me, and I didn't want to live in this world. The tears keep flowing, harder and faster and snot comes out of my nose as well. They probably think I'm dead somewhere, because I have no idea how long I've here but is must been a long time. Maybe if I die, then I'll go home without the portal cause I know at this rate I'm not gonna go home and I'll be stuck with these crazy people till I'm old and I die.

"I can’t be with people and I can’t be alone," I mumble.

A show I watched had this line, and right now it fits. I want to be away from these crazy people but being alone with my thoughts seems to be a hell of my own creation. The tears keep falling and won't stop. Why, why can't I just put myself together to figure this out? I... I want to go home, with my friends, family, partners, everyone from my real life.

I'm pulled from my mind, by someone knocking on the door.

"Your grace, may I come in?" The voice asks.

The voice is female and sounds young. I want to be alone so I can process my thoughts, but at the same time I want to have a shoulder to cry on and a willing ear to listen to my problems.

Wiping my tears and snot on my sleeve I open the door and I see, Furina on the other side. Dressed in fancy clothes as always, I wonder how long it takes her to get dressed every day? She walks into the room, closing the door behind her, and sits in the sofa.

"Hi Furina... What are you doing here?" I ask.

She smiles at gives me a kind look, little a kind younger sister in a way and it kind of made me feel better.

"Neuvillette asked if I could keep you company. He's worried about you getting lonely while you settle in," she explained.

I smiled, was it because I had someone to talk to or because Neuvillette had it in his heart to care about me? She walks into the dinning room, and I notice she's holding two bakery boxes. She places the boxes on the table and looks at me. I keep waiting and see her taking out a tea set with a rainbow rose pattern and blue base colors. I keep my eyes on tea set just because it's pretty.

She catches me looking and gestures for me to sit at the table. She pulls out a chair for me and I sit. She pours me a cup of tea before doing so for herself. She then opens the bakery boxes and inside the first one is a blue frosted cake and the other has macaroons of every color of the rainbow.

"Here, we can't have a tea party without desserts," Furina happily chirped.

I smiled at her. It felt nice, we were silent but is wasn't awkward. We shared tea and desserts as the sun shines through the windows. Furina tries to get me to open up and it seems to help. She talks about herself and asks me things about myself and how I'm finding Fontaine.

I answer her questions and tell her about myself and I tell her my thoughts on Fontaine.

"The city is beautiful and the Melusine are so cute!" I accidentally squeal.

She nods her head and she then notices the bag. I freeze. If I tell her, then she might rat me out and I don't want to take that risk. I lie to her and say it's nothing. The once comfortable silence becomes awkward as we just stare and pick at the desserts.

Furina looks at me, with sadness in her eyes. She tells me that she can tell I want to say something. I try to deny it but she can tell I'm lying. My eyes start to water and I tell her about me wanting to leave and the cores. She has slight sadness in her eyes but she doesn't seem all that upset. She tells me she knows where the other two cores are. She tells me that she'll help me find them so I can go home.

Hours later

I... I can't believe it! Furina fulfilled her promise. She told me that Wriothesley had the Dendro core, and well let's just say I needed to start a problem so Wriothesley would leave his office. Once I got into his office I had to sneak the core out of his desk. It was nerve racking but I managed to do it! I put the core in the bag with the others and I exit. I swim around and explore, and then Furina tells me to focus.

When I'm back in the city I ask Furina who has the hydro core. Furina gets nervous and she looks away.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Ummm... Chiori," she mumbles.

I ask her to speak up and she says the person who has the hydro core is Chiori. Well, I'm fucked. Chiori is scary, but my want to go home is stronger than any fear I have of a seamstress lady who threw a pair of her fabric sheers at a rude customer.

I sneak through the city and make my way to Chioriya Boutique. The outside looks pretty and the outfits inside look awesome. I mentally take notes to do these as cosplay some day. Chiori is busy with a customer and I sneak around, trying to find that hydro core. I end up in the backroom and investigate. When I do find it I put it in my bag and dart out of the backroom. I feel relief as I realize I have all the cores I needed. Before I make it to Chioroiya's front door, someone grabs the back of my shirt. I look and see.... it's Chiroi. She holds her hand out for my bag and I shake my head. She keeps telling me to give her the bag.

This goes on for who knows how long until I mange to escape. I rush to the nearest teleport waypoint. When I do find it I think over Musk Reef. I'm expecting a flash of light and then appearing in the waters near Musk reef but I'm not. I open my eyes and I'm touching a streetlight pole.

As I go to leave I feel something in my arm before my word goes black, the last thing I hear is Sigewinne's voice telling me to relax and sleep.

My thoughts about Wriothesley

Literally my thoughts about him, and his personality when I play the game.

He had a wonderful childhood, before he knew the truth. He thought he was the lucky child in the world, had been adopted and lived happily with silbling.

Based on his personality when we get close to him (and his sense of humor), I think he used to be a talkative child. Not the energetic one but the one who has a positive, extrovert vibe. I can image Wriothesley, in the past, giving newcomers a sweet and encouraging smile while walking them around the house.

So well-behaved *sob*

His smile used to be so pure and sweet, kind. I think in a normal life, Wriothesley could be a kind entrepreneur or a nice, helpful officer. He is easy-going and willing to help others.

So when he knew the truth, it devasted him. Imagine your dear parents, your saviors, your most loved ones, you used to swear that you would protect them when you grow up, but actually use you like livestock. He would feel like a clown. He was furious from the betrayal. I’m sure it ruins every memory, warm feeling of him about childhood. I can imagine how struggling he was (or is) to endure the thought that his dear memory was nothing but fake.

Think about a lively teenager who suddenly lost everything. He couldn’t rely on anybody or anything. He must be angry so much. Why now? Why did they lie? Why they were careless to let him know the truth? Why?

I think Wriothesley, sometimes, just sometimes, wishes that he could die without knowing the truth. So he could remain as a pure boy who had a beautiful childhood.

But nothing can undo, his memory about his childhood now was stained by the dirty truth. He may talk about his past with ease now but it still bothers him.

After all those years, he still healing and comforting his wounds. He avoids touching it or digs deeper into it. He even doesn’t connect with any of his “silblings”, knowing that helping them could hurt him more.

Living in the fortress taught him that everyone has their own story, their own reason, well most of them. So do his “parents”, but he doesn’t want to understand that, he doesn’t want to empathize with them. If he does, who will empathize with him? Who will bring back his pure childhood to him? Who will let him have a life as a “clean profile” citizen? No one. So just let him despite them.

 That’s why he went himself to the criminal house in the teaser. He wants to protect that child’s world so she can live a happy life, unlike him. When that girl gets older, she will understand her father's guilt.

Although Wriothesley is an easy and sassy guy, he will bonk whoever tells children that Santa Clause isn’t real.

Overall, Wriothesley is deeply hurt and he is trying his best to heal that trauma. I know every character in Genshin has an unforgettable past but hyv did really well at Wriothesley’s. I can feel his pain and struggle through every single line. (or maybe because I like him too much ig lmao)

Wriothesley is smart with craft things. If whoever plays Tears of Themis, you will understand what I mean. Wriothesley plays with materials just like Luke. We can bring him a broken clock and he will fix it as if his hobby. Maybe he will even add more functions to that clock lmao. (Something like an alarm when is tea-time).

Wriothesley admits that he has trust issues and most of his friends are not human. I guess they are Melusines. They may be weird a little bit and cannot understand or act like humans, but Wriothesley can trust them since they are not as greedy as humans

As a happy boy he used to be, Wriothesley loves playing =))) He enjoys his daytime with many entertainment. He will delay work till night if it’s not urgent. He is smart enough to be lazy.

One more reason is he wants to sleep faster. If he does the work at night, it will drain his energy. As soon as he flops on the bed, he falls asleep. Better if he is tired enough that he can’t even dream of anything. He doesn’t want to sleep alone in bed, thinking about his life, past life.

Omg please Wrio let me hug you. I will pamper you into sleep every night QAQ.

Lmao he has a sweet tooth. I thought he likes the bitterness of the tea when I heard that he drinks it usually until I see this. Ptff men are just bigger boys.

HCS FOR ELYNAS "BORN TO LOVE FORCED TO HURT" GOLD

he died first! before durin and dorian both because he never got the chance to get corrupted! not long before them but long enough that at least dorian and rhinedottir were aware of it.

he doesnt actually dislike his true form, just how people percieve it.

he lovs his siblings (canon) but he never got to know dorian very well since he was like. wooo artificial human cool. dorian in turn didnt know much about elynas.

uhmm idk if this is canon but he actually didnt spend much time in fontaine it was just his favorite and he knew of an island he could die where he couldnt hurt anyone

hes actually really flattered they named the island after him and its like a reminder hes always there

even when his daughters leave for the court theyre always his daughters and he'll always solo anyone else who gets called father of melusines IDC ELYNAS ON TOP

he knows and loves the riftwolves even though theyre a pain. hed pick his daughters over them though.

he has no interest in looking human hed rather be a little guy or a giant guy.

he likes bugs especially water bugs (both insects/arachnids that live in water and water animals that resemble bugs like crabs, slugs, shrimp, ect.)

in another world hed find worms when it rained.

loves his mom hes a mamas boy he loes his mom even if she doesnt really deserve it from him i think he'll love her forever like durins resolve could be shook MAYBE (idk for sure im saying MAYBEEE im the least educated on durin) but not elynas. he loves his mom

wasnt suicidal in the "i deserve this" way and never truly wanted to die, but felt it was a necessary sacrifice. a part of him hopes he'll one day get to live again, in a smaller, safer form

he likes hugs and physical affection in general

he spends time in his little mindspace picking flowers because he couldnt when he was a dragon

hes just!!! UGH!!1 HES JUST FULL OF JOY AND HAPPINESS EVEN THO HES NOT ALIVE!!!!

kinda guy you see people crouched down to talk to. he thinks its silly bc hes used to everyone looking up at him

he wishes he couldve met albedo he really wants albedo to go to fontaine. he wishes he could have known him.

durins death wouldve made him sad if he had any idea it even happened LMAO

thats all i have off the top of my headd,,, also hes aroace i wont fight u on that its just true trust me. also genderfunny. all the gold kids are. rhinedottir herself is genderfunny

[fatuismooches]

Sandrone crumbs spotted in Fontaine!! Spoilers under the cut for the world quest "Questioning Melusine and Answering Machine", but I saw this dialogue, and had a little fluff hc. ❤️

Someone says: "Your names were written on the paper. Seems like the person who was backing him wants to apologize to you three... It appears they don't want to make enemies out of you. Or maybe they feel quite strongly about what happened to Agent Curve. Those are the only possibilities I can think of..." (The person being referred to is Sandrone! 🥹)

As we know, Curve was a machine who sacrificed himself to save Traveler and company, because of that annoying guy who was behind the whole thing (blah blah). Sandrone ended up cutting out the tongue (😭) of that guy and allowing him to be caught, also leaving behind a note. These two reasons are offered up as to why she would do such a thing and the latter has me interested.

Sandrone feeling strongly about a machine/robot dying.

Obviously, this could be completely false and just a facade she puts up, but it makes me wonder. Sandrone is said to have a bad personality so, what if her machines are her "friends" instead? Maybe friends are too strong a word, companions perhaps. They're the only ones who don't mind her personality (they are tailored by her after all...) and so she cares for them more than one would initially think or believe. She doesn't show it in public, no, of course not, but in private she muses to them. Talks to them as if they're real people. So perhaps that's why she could have felt this way, about Curve dying.

Sandrone didn't even tell you about this habit of hers, she knows how... childish it is. But she finds out you do the same thing too! Treating her robots and creations the same as a real person, talking and chatting with them even if they're the build that doesn't respond.

It makes her love you even more.

[selfaware-bungou-stray-dogs]

Heyya! It's me again! 🌙! Been a while since I asked a question:3 btw hru? Love your new fics! And also concerned on how many requests you have. Pls do take your time on making them you could (or have gone) burnt out if you rush. Do take a break from time to time <3. Here are my questions!

Questions for both Sagau x bsd and self aware bsd

1. Did you mention Verlaine in SAGAU X BSD?

2. Where are all the other good genshin characters stay in GL world (like nahida, scaramouche, citizens, etc.) ?

3. Does Nahida and Furina move their people in the real world too?

4. Is Fitzgerald basically the richest person in the world?

5. In the real world, is the government suspicious of Fitzgerald like- suspicious if he is the richest person in the world.

Hello, 🌙 Anon! Long time no see.

I am doing great. Glad that you liked my last fics.

And thank you for your concern. I am doing requests in my own pace, taking enough breaks.

And to your questions.

1. Verlaine was mentioned in this post and in this post. He also has one SAGAU themed meme, and he was requested in Event.

He didn't appear in the fics, for now. I am planning to write about him saving Furina and Melusines from Fortress of Meropide, but, it still in planning.

Can share some plans for future SAGAU x BSD AU Crossover fics

(Right now I am talking about original fics, not including requests and event!)

Fukuzawa and Fukuchi fic. - "A step back". Set right after Reader returned from Teyvat, but before Capitano got into the Real World to capture Reader. About Fukuzawa and Fukuchi taking care of a still almost broken Reader.

Mori, Elise and Zhongli fic. - Mori vs Zhongli

Verlaine and Furina fic I mentioned above

Maybe? An Arlecchino focused fic. A scene, where Arlecchino came to Reader to negotiate about benefits she will get from helping Reader. Will I tie it to BSD Character? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We will see.

Mitchell and Venti fic. Venti, after confronting Fake Creator, is forced to be loyal to them, otherwise they will execute everyone in Mondstadt. He gets an earful from Mitchell.

Another Fukuzawa fic, possibly? Something with Fukuzawa act as an assassin again. Perhaps with Rosaria and Eula, or Lawrence Clan.

Saving Nahida and Aranaras fic. Chuuya? Perhaps Adam and Lucy.

Fake Creator focused fic. About their past, and why they decided to pretend to be a Creator. Possibly with Ayatsuji.

Atsushi fic. Something soft, Atsushi bringing tiger cubs to Reader for petting them.

BEAST Spin Off. Semi-canon for the main crossover. BEAST Characters get into the Real World after Reader returned from Teyvat and BEAST! Mori accidentally scared Reader with his voice.

What if. What if Reader get into Teyvat before BSD Cast got into the Real World and during execution Reader, instead of returning to the Real World, got teleported into BSD World.

2. In BSD Manor. It's big enough to house few more people. If needed, Fitzgerald might order to build one more house (he was planning to do it anyway, in case more BSD Characters appeared in Real World).

Kids helped Aranaras and Melusines build new villages for them.

3. Does Nahida and Furina move their people in the real world too?

It will depend, if most of their citizens will be in danger (example: If Fake Creator ordered Apep to "unleash" jungles on Sumeru, or Neuvillette decided to drown Fontaine), Furina and Nahida will demand for their people to be moved.

Otherwise, if their people aren't in danger, they will see and wait.

BSD Cast, while angry, aren't unreasonable. They understand, why common people chased after Reader (fear, religious beliefs). Their revenge are mostly focused on "playable characters". People in power, who ordered to hunt Reader.

They will try to keep permanent damage to the normal citizens as low as they can.

4. He is quite rich. I won't call him the richest, but he is wealthy.

5. Even if they are, they won't find anything. Fitzgerald is financially clear. For real world, he was just a cosplayer, who decided to play on the stock exchange (Fitzgerald and Alcott) and get a jackpot from online casino (Sigma, Fyodor, Dazai). There is no tax evasion, Fitzgerald is just a very lucky person.

BSD Cast prepared, before going to the real world.

Gonna post a sort of story based on a batshit insane Pokémon headcanon I have

And it’s all based on this pic

Yes, you’re reading it right, my brain connected some weird ass dots. And I’ve even made a backstory for them in my brain which I’ll read now!

(just to clarify since some of my moots were confused: Latiaos canonically are a proper species with multiple specimens, there are mentions of them having flocks in the Pokédex and in the Japanese version of the Heroes movie it’s directly shown theres multiple of them. A lot of you probably know but this is just for those who don’t)

So! Pretty much all of my Pokémon stuff is set in the same universe, which I’m calling the Therianverse because a good amount of the protagonists in the stories are shapeshifting Pokemon who take human form

One of the main things in this AU is that pretty much all Pokémon are unambiguously sapient, and also are allowed to be trainers.

Now that I’ve explained how this universe works, I’ll talk about these fellas

In the Sevii Archipelago, there lived a couple, named Melusine and Luster. Sometimes, they would visit towns for a bit before disappearing for a while, then visiting different towns. They were kind folks, so they were a welcome sight whenever they appeared. One could always recognize them by the mysterious orbs they wore on wrist bracelets, but no one could’ve known that these were in fact, the key to their disguises.

The orbs, properly known as Soul Dew, were objects with amazing magical powers, including the ability to shapeshift. The couple were in fact Latiaos, flying from island to island. Of course, this probably wouldn’t have changed most people’s opinions that much, but the couple did have reason to worry…

At one point, they would disappear for a much longer time than usual. In fact, this time was years. People thought that they would have left, of course. But they hadn’t. They still disguised themselves, though, they needed to keep their children safe, after all.

The twins were to stay home, for they didn’t get the grasp of shapeshifting for a while. Their parents were happy to help, though, and soon enough, they would go out to meet the world. The parents would “return”, this time with their children, and the story that they had moved to raise their children elsewhere.

The children were very much adored by the townsfolk, and led happy lives with their parents. So it was a bit of a shock when their parents would have a second pair of babies.

They weren’t particularly excited about this new development, worried that they wouldn’t be as loved anymore. Of course, their parents would assure them that they were okay, but the children wouldn’t accept this.

At some point, the parents would actually leave to meet with their friends far away. The children and the townsfolk knew it wasn’t for long though, especially since they said that they’d only be gone for a few days.

When a few days passed by, they didn’t return.

When a week passed by, they didn’t return.

When a month passed by, they didn’t return.

Of course, the worst was assumed. Their children were especially hurt, not helped by the fact that they would have to raise their siblings. Fortunately, some of their family friends offered to help them raise the new siblings.

Just under a year later, the new children would hatch, and were given the Soul Dews that their parents had made before their birth.

Seven years would pass. The two older children had found their names (AN: in this au, pokemon culture has pokemon name themselves rather than their parents do so): Lucian and Lorelei. They were around 17 years of age, two years after one could legally become a Trainer. Neither was particularly interested in the prospect, as they still had to help raise their little siblings. And their siblings were starting to become clawfulls with their mischief and curiousity.

So at night, the little siblings had begun a routine of flying around at night when people wouldn’t see them. (Their big siblings knew because y’know, psychics, but couldn’t really stop them from that) But one night, they flew all the way into morning, when there were people to see them… Specifically, Team Rocket.

Suddenly, they were struck by something, and fell from the sky. When they realized what had happened, they tried to escape, but one had been hit by a Sticky Web and couldn’t move themself. So their twin would help them get out, leaving themself vulnerable to capture.

One escaped from the web. The other didn’t return home.

The elder siblings had a feeling something like this would happen, but they at least hoped that it would involve both of the twins returning and them getting a lecture. But a lecture would be too cruel now. They had to do something. They knew their little sibling would be safe with their caretakers and understand to be careful. They would set off in the dead of night to rescue their lost sibling.

This, however, was still a cruelty to the sibling who was abandoned, they had thought their siblings hated them so much that they didn’t want to deal with them anymore. And for several years, they would live in guilt… until they received a mysterious vision.

There’s more to the story, but that’s the basic backstory. Fortunately all the siblings have nicer lives now, Lorelei became part of the Kanto-Johto Elite Four and retired, Lucian stayed on the Sinnoh E4, Will escaped kidnapping (though losing two of his eyes in the process) and would become part of the Kanto-Johto E4 once Lorelei retired, and Anabel would reunite with her twin and also make amends with her elder siblings (though it did kinda generally make them bitter) and also joined the Hoenn Battle Frontier, and also is Looker’s assistant with his detective stuff, though that’s more relevant to the Sun/Moon part of this AU.

For some clarification: the parents are probably dead, haven’t quite figured that out yet. Also I had the idea that Latiaos can change their scale color depending on their gender identity, and since Will and Anabel are nonbinary they’re purple :]

their secret office romance is an hr nightmare...............

gonna ramble abt their actual relationship bc im sleepy and :) they

they know they cant keep hiding it forever BUT thats a problem for future them, once the prophecy stuff is taken care of they'll announce it. surely

they havent directly Told anyone. the melusines know and talk among themselves about it because they think its so cute to see neuvi open up like that. sedene has covered for their asses so many times

furina and wrio ABSOLUTELY know. they just know. neuvi did COME to furina for human courtship advise and its obvious who hes talking abt and furina loves to tease him about his 'secret little human crush' and finds it entertaining to watch him try and keep up appearances professionally

with wrio its Complicated. because he did/does have feelings for silvanus, when she was interning at the fortress (dont ask me what kind of education silvie has bc i dont know. she did some studying at the akademiya, knows fontainian law very well, has the most insane organization/scheduling/filing system that barely anyone else can keep up with) its very funny to see that SILVANUS is the hr nightmare

but wrio sees that she has talent and potential and could absolutely use her down in the fortress but deserves better than to be stuck there and recommends her to the research institute and eventually works up to being hired by palais mermonia

and throughout his meetings with neuvillette with silvanus as his assistant, he can feel neuvillette possessive nature towards silvanus. he knows it not in a bad way but more affectionate and protective and it startles wrio because he has NEVER felt this kinda vibe from neuvi before. but he knows that silvanus would be happy with him, in the over world and he wants that for her (and neuvi)
