Hello there, and welcome! 😊

Link to masterlist

I'm a male alien INFJ (at least, I strongly suspect it) who descended in this mortal realm in the year of 1998. I have a little bit of writing experience, though I wouldn't call it a proper hobby...

After the idea floated around my mind for a while now, I decided to give a try to writing headcanons/short fics, specifically for Genshin Impact (with now a bit of Honkai Star Rail), with a particular focus on comfort/fluff.

I got inspired to do this after seeing how often I would turn to comfort or fluff content on tumblr, as a way to cope with the void of loneliness (sometimes overthinking too). As such, why not add my own contribution... as long as it can, hopefully, provide some relief to one person out there.

Asks are open (anon allowed) for requests and chatting (and DMs for chatting if you feel like it) 👀

Please read all the rules first though!

Universes I can write for

Genshin Impact

Honkai Star Rail

Characters I feel rather confident to write for

Genshin Impact

Kamisato Ayaka

Yae Miko

Fischl

Furina (before or after 4.2 archon quest)

Lumine (with or without Paimon)

Honkai Star Rail

Ruan Mei

Here below, characters I may possibly write for

I'm not as confident regarding them, so "ask at your own risks", I suppose. For those I didn't mention, I'm not against writing for them... Maybe, I can actually write them well, and I just don't know it yet 🙃

Genshin Impact

Zhongli

Neuvillette

Sangonomiya Kokomi

Nahida (strictly platonic and SFW, obviously)

Chiori

Navia

Albedo

Nilou

Charlotte

Yanfei

Amber

Wanderer

Beidou

Lisa

Arataki Itto

Clorinde

Keqing

Shenhe

Honkai Star Rail

Black Swan

Robin

Sparkle

March 7th

Tingyun

What I can write

reader X character (with reader by default as gender neutral for wider audience's sake, unless a request demands a different one)

mainly fluff and comfort (reader comforting, or being comforted by character)

I don't exclude mentions of hurt or angst as context for the above (unless a request specifically demands it), some conditions related to mental health (loneliness, overthinking and its consequences) aren't excluded either

platonic (not entirely confident with romance, see Miscellaneous below), eventually light romance, but nothing intense

headcanons, eventually fics (fics may be included in headcanons if I'm feeling inspired; no guarantees though)

What I would rather not write

Unless you're lucky and your request is within my abilities, just be aware though they're not my preferences (= you would be wise to ask someone who actually writes for those, instead of me)

smut/+18/NSFW/NSFL (not out of dislike/disgust/discomfort, but due to no experience in writing this kind of sensitive stuff)

intense romance & flirting (not really into romance, so, better to be safe than sorry...)

yandere (no experience in this)

genderswap (not really interested...)

character x character (check above, "intense romance & flirting")

Miscellaneous:

By default, the reader will be gender neutral and referred to as S/O (please specify in the request, if you wish for specific nicknames or other pronouns to be used!), I want my blog to be open to everyone 😊

Multiple requests are allowed

I aim to write characters in a realistic manner, meaning I will base myself upon canon actions & voice lines from them

I'm not familiar with everything regarding LGBT+ and the autism spectrum (I'm not against writing about them, it's just that it will be a bit more difficult, and will require some research on my side)

I may not accept every request I receive (I'm no professional writer; plus, everything is done for free, during my free time)

I plan to add a link to ambient music to listen to, for immersion's sake (it may be emotional on purpose, at times), ideally to open in a new tab, so it can keep playing in background as you scroll along

Please don't interact if you don't have a civilized behavior; that is to say, be respectful, no hate, etc...

Headcanons are called headcanons for a reason; it's fine if you don't agree with mine, but that doesn't allow you to consider yours as superior/the only one 😉

If you own a blog which has "men dni" (or "mutuals only" and we aren't)... then what are you still doing here? *vine boom sound effect* Just kidding, I don't mind you interacting (I'm not like other men, and it's not like I could choose my gender at birth anyway; arbitrary discrimination be damned), though be aware this would technically be hypocrisy... so you ought to use anon, for your own public image's sake 🤨

Take care and have a nice day/night 😊

– rules for requests.

read the following rules before requesting ;

– i will only be writing for platonic content. while i am fully capable of writing romantic requests i choose not to. please do not request anything other then platonic.

– please don't be vague with requests. requests such as "x character with y reader." are considered vague and will either be disregarded, or I'll ask for something more detailed. there is only so much I can work with.

– reader will be gender-neutral by default, though pronouns will hardly be used because I stick to second person pov. if you feel the need to mention the reader's gender, please do.

– reminder that this is an x reader blog only. i might brainrot over canon characters' dynamics from time to time, but actual headcanons/drabbles are reserved for x reader requests only.

– all requests will be written in headcanon format unless requested otherwise. so if you wish for your request to be a drabble (i don't write full-length fics), please say so.

i am currently writing for ;

genshin impact.

all characters except for : al haitham, eula, dori, keqing, il dottore.

perhaps you should’ve asked...

summary: in which you give in and buy a rex lapis plush.

characters: keqing and zhongli (separate)

tags: gn!reader, no specific relationship between characters and reader but you two live together, reader knows zhongli is rex lapis, fluff + crack, hc + scenario format

warnings: you get so much embarrassment you die none

author's notes: i just wanted to write something fun LOL also i have the rex lapis plush myself so i just thought “haha what if they see me with this thing” so yeah

keqing

when you found out keqing is secretly into rex lapis paraphernalia, you fought the urge to laugh. but that was then. now…you find yourself with a limited edition rex lapis plush. you couldn’t help it - it’s just so adorable you’d spend all your savings on it! fortunately though, you didn’t have to do that

though you then realize that you do not know how keqing would react to you having such a thing. would she be jealous? would she want it for herself? either way, you obviously need to find out her opinion on the plush for…reasons. you totally don’t just want to see her reaction towards you having limited edition geo archon merchandise

so you waltz to your shared home casually with the plush in your arms, you hugging it so tightly that you might squeeze out its stuffing. with a big smile on your face and a catchy hum on your lips, you enter your humble abode

keqing is, unsurprisingly, working in the living room (although you have a study room - you guess that she was simply waiting for you to come home) and she looks up once she hears your footsteps nearing her. she greets you happily but the moment she lays her eyes on the plush, her eyes widen

“i-is that what i think it is?”

you smirk as you nod vigorously in response. she folds her arms and shuts her eyes, assuming a pondering pose. you await her remark excitedly and for your chance to flex your little limited edition plush-

“i…already have that, (y/n).”

you feel your heart sink. then again, you should’ve expected this considering she is the biggest rex lapis fan you know but you suppose you clung onto that small sliver of hope a little too much. you try to reason that you bought it for yourself instead of it being a gift for her and she only snickers in agreement

she pats your back supportively as you sulk on the couch beside her and insists that hey, two is better than one after all; now you have your own and you two don’t have to share! though this does not help with relieving any of your shame but it’s the thought that counts

the next day, you see her hugging both of your plushies. she tells you not to say a word - not to her and not to anybody else. knowing her, you do exactly as she says.

zhongli

oh, now you’ve done it. this is the peak of embarrassment for you; here you are, living with the ex-geo archon himself, and yet…a rex lapis plush with the softest fur you could ever imagine is sitting in your hands. it stares at you cutely with his shut eyes, fast asleep in his own dreamland. how could you ever resist such an adorable little thing?

even then, you decide that you are not going to let him see you with the dragon-and-mini-him. you worry that he may be roaming the very streets you are walking through right now so you rush home, determined to keep this your “dirty'' little secret

the moment you step into your house, you relax and start making your way to your room to stash your little dragon away somewhere safe. where would work, you begin to wonder. would under the bed work? or should you hide him in your personal dresser? or even-

“(y/n)? is that…me?”

you freeze. you turn towards the direction of his voice hesitatingly, your cheeks slowly but surely growing red. there is no way to hide the plush in your arms. but at least there is a way to deny his statement…if you are to use the word “deny” loosely anyway

“y-yes? i mean, no! i mean, technically it’s rex lapis and you know, you’re not the geo archon anymore, you’re just zhongli now, hahahaha…”

you nervously laugh and scratch the back of your head sheepishly with your right hand, your left hand still clutching onto the plush firmly. following suit, zhongli offers a chuckle of his own. your cheeks are flaming red now

“what fine craftsmanship. it is no question that you procured such an item. and you are correct - i am zhongli.”

thankfully enough, he seems to not question it much. you don’t know why you were so worried; zhongli is quite literally one of the most open-minded people you’ve met. and that’s saying something for someone who has lived for centuries. so you breathe out a sigh of relief. until zhongli continues-

“although, if you simply wanted to hug rex lapis, you could’ve merely asked me. i would’ve been happy to oblige. i still am, if i were to be completely honest.”

you’ve had enough. you sink onto the ground out of embarrassment, your knees growing weak under his unintentional tease. he grows concerned and kneels down in front of you to check if you’re okay. and quite frankly, you are not

the plush now sits in your room (“your” as in either your individual room or shared room with him) and when he is ever in the mood to tease you, he will bring up the incident. he knows it always brings a blush to your cheeks.

Imagine dragging Keqing to the arcade in a modern au because she seemed to focused on her work. She only came because you seemed so excited about it 😭

But then she ended up having fun with you and asking to have another date like this <3

Keqing and Reader Enemies to lovers

(Cause she keeps coming home)

,🌂 keqing x gn reader genre ,, enemies to lovers.

tws , none(?) notes ,, i probably wont have enough time to put this entire fic into one so expect a prt 2, ALSO,, YN IS SLIGHTLY BASED OFF ME WHEN ITS WORK/MODULES

au ,, modern

keqing enemies to lovers

you and keqing didn’t see eye to eye on things often. So it always results in you two mildly disliking each other,, but that slowly changes when time passes by.

You weren’t from liyue. You and your family simply moved in from sumeru. You weren’t young when you moved, it was actually pretty recent, it was only a year ago. Therefore you knew almost nothing about liyue and it’s god.

Ever since you met keqing, you already knew you and keqing wouldn’t get along easily.

You were a little lazy when it comes to work. You mostly get too distracted by something, and forget about work. So you mostly, don’t do your work on time. And Keqing didn’t enjoy that, obviously. She always insisted you do your work before it’s too late. She was right, but you didn’t really listen to her.

”Y/N! please do your work, before it’s too late.” she told you while holding a pile of paper in her hands. “Oh fine,, I’ll do it.” You get back in position and you continue writing your work. “good.” She walks away.

“Keqing’s,, a bit annoying.” You thought while writing. “It would be better if she didn’t tell me to do my work,,but, if she didn’t my papers wouldve been overdue by now.” you thought to yourself again.

after a few hours of doing work things

“Hng—“ you stretch your arms up “At last, work is done” you said in relief. You start getting ready to go home. “Y/N.” keqing suddenly blurts your name. “,, Yes, keqing?” you replied with a slightly annoyed tone. ”Don’t forget, we have a meeting tomorrow, and I’m expecting you to be there.” She told you strictly. “I’ll be there.“

You turned back and rolled your eyes. “Good,, then I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, Y/N.” she said a little annoyed. “See you.” you wave goodbye. “I guess.” you muttered under your breath.

you finally got home after a day of writing paperwork. “Home at last!” you plop your bag on the ground while quickly taking your shoes off and tossing them to the side of the door. You went in your room and changed into your normal clothes and go on your bed and on your phone.

part 2 is gonna come soon,, I’ll put the link here when I do part 2 lol

Part 2 of Genshin characters getting drunk and crying when their S/O says they're not single.

(Sara, Gorou, Kokomi, Heizou, Al Haitham, Cyno, Tighnari, Itto, Jean, Dottore, Pantalone, Keqing, and Diluc.) To be honest I kind headcanon that one of the other reasons Diluc doesn't drink is because of him actually being major a lightweight.

😆 😂 I liked working on this one the first time

Sara - that stern demeanor is falling apart with the most crestfallen face ever

Gorou - tries to save face with a “oh they must be a lucky one,” but his cracking voice is not doing any favors

Kokomi - calm, enigmatic and shrewd turns disastrous as you reveal to her

Heizou - completely chaotic and almost begging, “I could be better than them!”

Al Haitham - wise and intelligent? More like crushed and a not so convincing “I’m fine 😔”

Cyno -curt and stoic now turns into a hot mess of “where did I go wrong?”

Tighnari - be gentle with him or at least clarify fast because he has that sad look on his face like “wh-what?? Who is it?!”

Itto - “whoever they are, they must be really lucky to have you 😞 😔”, “it’s you, you goof”

Jean - withdraws into herself for a good while

Dottore - a maniacal “they will rue the day they harm you!!”

Pantalone - turns a bit yandere-ish as he tries to convince you he’s better

Keqing - immediately wants to challenge the supposed “suitor” to a duel

Would this character catch you?

genshin impact edition pt. 2

a/n: i wasn't gonna make one of these again but i thought it would make for nice writing practice. I'll be including the Liyue ladies :D inbox is still open as usual! I'll be doing request slowly but if you just wanna share ideas, your own headcanons, ask questions, or promote yourself then pls send them in :D also i most definitely forgot ppl, it's really late and i have to wake for school in like 6 hours 😭 there is mistakes so pls ignore them

-------------------------------------

Ningguang: 7/10, only because if she didn't have to keep up appearances she could totally catch you

given that you both are somewhere decently public, you are falling to the ground

Of course she'd crouch down to check on you to see if your alright

but she'll lean down closer to you, covering her mouth and say

"that was a very dumb thing of you to do. Don't you feel even the slightest bit of shame my love?"

in private she might entertain you with catching you

if it's in her bedroom, then she'd catch you then teasingly toss you on to her bed

Beidou: 10/10, best one honestly and the muscle😩

banging my hands against the table

Captain Beidou is definitely catching you and not putting you down

If she's docked and out walking in the Liyue Harbor, she excepts you to run at her and jump into her arms

it's a tradition at this point

it's also a way for her to show off how strong she is

probably doesn't put you down

god i love Beidou so much

Ganyu: 2/10, she's getting this rating because she's pretty

She's probably not catching you?

Ganyu absolutely could it's just she was probably half asleep or thinking about something else

You both fall to the ground and she just stays still for a moment before asking if you're okay

wants to make sure you weren't being chased by a hilichurl

mostly just confused

Keqing: 0/10, moving out of the way lol

What do you think you are doing

I think she would catch you if she wasn't overthinking

She plans to catch you but moves out of the way before you crash into her

Yells at you with a flushed face asking why you would do such a thing

does bandage up any bruise you get

you get no feel better kisses though

Yunjin: 5/10, She does catch you but you both fall to the ground anyways

she's very giggly about it

Yunjin was very sure she could've stayed standing but it appears that she should've braced herself a bit more

gives you small pecks while laughing

asks to try that again as she wants to be able to catch you and twirl you around

tries to find a better and more stable area for you to try again

"Do you mind if we try that again? I was quite excited to twirl you around in my arms, so if you do mind let's try again."

Shenhe: ?/10, she catches you but like she drops you?

honestly, i think you'd be more shocked that she caught you

It would take her a few moments before she starts get a bit red and then she drops you

like gently drops you

coughing she turns away from you and tells you not to do it again

and then leaves

leaving you confused

Yelan: 9/10??? i honestly have no clue lol

She'd catch but in a like teasing way

makes comments about how desperate for her attention you must be and how lucky you are that she caught

squeezes you against her and gives you a closed eyed smile

"Oh how interesting, I must've rolled something good to get you to fall into my arms. If you wanted to get close to me all you had to do was ask."

Now Yelan doesn't put you down, instead she carries you someplace and sits down with you in her lap

You're not leaving her lap

Better yet she has plans to go play poker later and she needs a lucky charm

it just so happens that she's decided that you look quite lucky and you'd look nice on her lap :>

art museum ft. albedo, ganyu & keqing ⊹ ࣪ ˖

cws: established relationship: ganyu, mutual pining: albedo, one sided pining: keqing, fluff, slight jealousy, dates, reader is implied to be feminine; reader can be taken as gn!

notes: i wanted to write for kazuha but i couldn't think of ideas for him :'(

mlist | based on headcanons

ALBEDO

he wanted to take you somewhere you can see his feelings for you

since you both share the love for the arts, he decided to show you his exhibit of his recent or oldest works

he didnt expect you to share the same feelings as him

it was your first time being at an art museum or at least being accompanied with someone. well, actually, it wasn’t really an art museum when really, its more like an art exhibit. albedo’s art exhibit.

even though, he is the host, he was walking around with you linked to his arm. “albedo? what’s this piece about?”

you pointed to a painting that were more abstract than the others. albedo’s fair complexion reddens a little, “it’s about me experiencing love for the first time.”

“really?” you said, tilting your head. he looked at the expression on your face, your face twisted into jealousy.no matter how you tried, albedo can read you just as easily as a book. “i envy that girl you loved to make that.” you tried to laugh it off but in your eyes, you didn’t find the joke to be funny.

albedo chuckled, which his laugh snapped your attention to him, peeling your eyes off of the piece. “what?”

“this piece was influenced by my love for you.”

“wait what?”

albedo watched how you experienced the stages of grief within ten minutes.

“OH.”

he laughed again as you tangled your fingers in his flax hair. “do you get it?”

“yesyes!”

GANYU

you two had been waiting for ganyu to have a day off to plan another date

usually your planned dates dont go so well so you try to make a spontaneous one and pray it works

surprisingly it does

as you two were already on a date, however when you saw an art museum, you knew you had to take your girlfriend there. today was unfortunately the only day ganyu had time off from work but you were ready to switch gears and make this date the best of all.

“yu! lets go here.” you said, pointing to an art museum. ganyu tilted her head, squinting at the sign.

“the… enchanted canvas?” she fiddled with the ends of her dress.

you confirmed, “yes!” glancing at her face, you reassured her, “i know what youre thinking but dont worry about the costs! i got you,”

you showed her your wallet, packed jammed with money. too much money but she cant stop you from buying for her or not allowing her to pay.

“okay!” the both of you entered, seeing the rows of pieces around the walls. the glass cases of different arts from all over the world.

due to the different aesthetics you both have, naturally, you both separated. you came across a painting that was blue, actually, different variations of blue. the artist used golden accents to highlight the plant they chose to use in the painting. hydrangeas. these colors and especially the flower reminds you of ganyu.

“yuyu!” you said, hoping she caught your voice. behind you, you heard familiar clacks of heels. “hm?”

“this painting reminds me of you.” you pointed to the large canvas framed in gold. ganyu chuckled, “thank you, sweetheart. ive seen one that reminds me of you too.”

“yu, do you think i can buy this for you?”

“name, with both of our savings combined, i dont think we can buy this.” she joked, but really was trying to convince you not to buy the painting.

“hmm.”

“do you want to see the painting or…”

you changed your mind, or seemed to. “yes, lets go see it!”

KEQING

keqing had been admiring you for far too long and realized that the feelings she thought was platonic were actually romantic

on todays hang out you both have topics to share

“keqing, where do you wanna go for today’s daily debrief?” you asked. the both of you met up at a local cafe and usually on every friday, you both talk about whats happening in your life. but keqing noticed that you have been flaking every other friday making her concerned for you, which is why she called a debrief on a thursday instead. “let’s go to the art museum. the one reel you sent on instagram.”

“oooh! ive been wanting to go to the glided gallery.” you replied in excitement. keqing nodded as she pulled out her phone,

“its a 5 minute walk from here. lets go.”

- - -

you and the purple haired girl walked into the museum. seeing how every other person was dressed, you felt embarrassed because of how underdressed you felt.

“‘qing dont i look like underdressed?” you asked, feeling the regret seeped into your bones. keqing seemed like she brushed it aside but really, she was thinking really hard on what to say to you. “no. you look gorgeous.”

“oh! thank you. so what did you want to talk about keqing?”

keqing winced, she had forgotten the reason why she invited you in the first place. other than asking you why you flaked out, she likes you. as in, likes-likes you.

“i was going to ask why did you flake out on the last meeting, n/n.”

“oh!” you said, flustered a little. “thats because ive been talking to this guy-”

a guy? again? hasnt enough guys broke your heart

“and hes really sweet. i think you know him actually! xiao?”

oh. nevermind, this guy would never break your heart.

“ohh, hes loyal.”

“isnt he?!”

“um, lets go pver here.”

unluckily, keqing thought. this section shows the romantic side of artists. “oh okay, wait, keqing, was there more you wanted to tell me? i can tell on your face.”

keqing’s heart and brain fought between confessing to you and not telling you. its a cycle she goes through, laying on her bed to everyday thought. she was going to confess but after hearing you have another boyfriend. she decided against it, bringing this secret to the death bed.

“oh. no, i just wanted to show you how this painting is really cute.”

“youre right, it is.” you were mesmerized by the painting hung on the wall, you couldnt see that keqing was just as enchanted just by looking at you.

What are the Chances? (Ch. 1)

The Diving Reflex

Summary: You are now the respected leader of the Fukahire Gang. Your reputation precedes you, in both good ways and bad.

Love Interests: Beidou, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Keqing, Ningguang, Shenhe, Yanfei, Yelan, Zhongli, Itto, Kazuha, Ayaka, Ayato, Sara, Shinobu, Kokomi, Thoma, Yoimiya, Tartaglia, Signora

Navigation | Previous | Next

Warnings: Smoking, slight drowning, choking

That was a few years ago. You had gotten used to your kind of business and there hasn’t been a challenge or protest since that fight, fearful that they would wind up with the same fate. You didn't blame them. After all, if lighting were to strike you, you knew that you would survive.

You were currently doing business with the Fatui and the Northland Bank. They wanted to expand their name into Liyue, and you happen to own the apartment they wanted to open in. Though technically, it wasn’t yours. It belonged to a past client, who lost it in a gamble. However, you were beginning to grow bored of these endless meetings.

“I’d be more than happy to welcome the bank under my name,” you said with a cheery whistle that was too friendly to be welcoming. “However, this won’t come for free, ya know.”

“Of course! That is to be expected!” replied the harbinger in front of you.

You recognized him immediately when you first met. He had requested an audience with you when your assistant was working one day and you were off the clock. Though you haven't played the game for years, you could still recognize those who were playable almost instantly. The tall man in front of you was none other than Tartaglia himself. His bright auburn hair was very noticeable to you. You knew that you needed to accept this, otherwise, there’d be an issue in the game’s storyline. You pondered on that for a bit. Could you possibly alter the story in some way? What would happen if you did so? Would the traveler's fate change? You pushed the thoughts aside for now. Even if you were lucky, you refused to gamble with that possibility.

You’ve lived in this world for quite a while now. This was practically your life. You snapped your fingers for your assistant.

“Lingxin, a cigarette please.”

The young woman to your right did as she was told. Her light brown hair was pale, almost blonde, and was tied in a loose bun that stayed on one side while the other covered a part of her porcelain face. Her eyes were dark brown and framed by a monocle that was clipped to her clothes. The clothing she wore was professional yet formal, trimmed with golden fabric. It was a uniform that you made when you were a teen so you could differentiate the gang members and their ranks.

Despite her dress, you knew she kept a hidden weapon with her at all times. She was dancing a dangerous tango by being in your affairs. You warned her of such when she first applied to be your assistant, yet that was a trait that you respected about her. She must've been the only person who got to be in your personal space and be confident.

The woman pulled out a cigarette from seemingly nowhere and placed it between your held-out fingers. Without even looking, you heard the flicker of a lighter and another click when it closed. You brought the freshly lit roll to your mouth and deeply inhaled. You sighed out, slowly opening your eyes to look at the young war bringer in front of you, who seemed in deep concentration by your own simple actions. There were two times when you smoked; during meetings and during gambles.

“Well, Mr. Tartaglia, it seems you and I will need to come to an agreement,” you said. “Because of your… military background, I’ll need to up the pricing for quite a bit. Surely, a man of your caliber can handle the raise.”

He nodded without a second thought. “I wouldn’t mind that at all! However, you’ll have to ask a colleague before we make any finalities.”

You tried your best to remember who he was referring to. Was it Zhongli or Signora? Either way, you kept your on the poised facade in front of Childe.

“Then what use was this meeting?” you hissed with a sudden impatience. “Consider this warning, Tartaglia. Waste my time again, and even the Tsaritsa won't save you.”

The drop of formality was a surprise but it still stirred something within the ginger. He was speechless. Your glare caught him off-guard and for once, he wasn't sure what to do.

“As you wish,” he finally said with a deep breath.

You took in another puff but with less patience. “Boss,” you breathed out. “You call me, ‘Boss.’ Nothing more, nothing less, Tartaglia. You'll be working under my roof, which makes me your boss. Got it?”

“As you wish, Boss.” Childe seemed to be one nerve away from a complete overload yet you brushed it off.

You chuckled and relaxed in your seat at his response. You could've sworn you saw his breath hitch. “Good job,” you praised before turning to your assistant. “Lingxin, give me the time.”

“Your scheduled lunch break is within ten minutes,” she informed as she glanced over at you from her pocket watch. “Your usual meal will be ready in a few minutes in the cafeteria.”

You thanked her and everyone else for their time before standing up, adjusting your clothes, and then walking out the doors with pride. You put aside the excited gleam in Childe’s eyes. Knowing his true nature behind that friendly attitude, you were wise enough to keep him on his toes and keep him away at arm's length. You passed by the kitchen of your headquarters to pick up your lunch from the chef and then left to eat it elsewhere.

If you were being honest, your favorite time of the day was your mealtimes. It was the only time when you could be left alone without expectations, and although you could adjust your schedule to have more free time, you knew that would make you neglectful of your responsibilities. Besides, you could only take so much isolation before feeling a heavy loneliness settle inside.

At the moment, you were going down to the docks where you could feed the fish. It was the reason why you had bread crumbs mixed in with your lunch bag. As you threw out the crumbs, you felt something move in your jacket, tickling you with its scampering and fur.

“Heh. Violet, please,” you muttered quietly. “You’re gonna make me laugh.”

A purple weasel popped out of your sleeve and clung to your wrist as she reached out to the piece of bread you were holding. Violet was a Bluethunder weasel you had adopted from a trip down in the Chasm. She was a hungry girl and hasn’t left your side since you gave her some food that one time. Rather than sending her back to where she came from, you've kept her with you. She was your little lucky charm.

You spent the next half hour simply watching the fish and eating your food. There was something oddly mesmerizing when watching animals eat and it put your mind at ease to be caring for something. That’s when you heard footsteps run towards you from across the start of the docks. The clumsy treading of boots could be heard from the creaky wooden planks and they leaned against the post to pant for air. You knew who it was and what they were here for, yet you remained still as you kept your eyes on Violet, watching her nibble on a piece of fish you had just given her.

“What seems to be so urgent that you needed to interrupt feeding time, Haijun?” you coldly asked.

After your question, you heard him suddenly straighten up, standing firmly with his hands to his sides like a soldier.

“W-We were having difficulties labeling the cargo for the next shipment, B-Boss,” he stammered. "None of our officers were near so we... h-had to call for you."

Before he could get another word in, you interrupted him by putting one hand up slowly. “Does this happen to be involving the shipment of herbs that need to go to the pharmacy and the farm, Haijun?”

“…Y-Yes, Boss. We can’t figure out which ones are for the farms and which ones go to Bubu.”

You put the hand down and pinched the bridge of your nose out of annoyance. “Tell your crew that I’ll be there eventually. I swear to the archons if this is a waste of my time, I’ll have you thrown to the Geovishap.”

Although you have yet to actually do such a thing, you did hold a man above the cave. You had to leave an impression on your underlings after all.

“T-This isn’t like last time, Boss! Our labels were mixed up at the farms and we need you to sort it out,” he reasoned.

You opened your jacket to let Violet into your pocket and got up. You carried yourself with a dignified posture as you walked past the grunt, who stayed behind you out of both fear and respect.

You passed by the workmen without sparing a glance. You spent your lunch breaks at the docks and they’d often see you. However, they never bothered you because of your reputation. As you were about to go past the usual food vendors, you heard a panicked cry and someone coughing frantically. You turned your head to the source as soon as you heard people starting to grow louder with worry.

The crowd began to surround something but it still parted as you approached as if your aura alone carried a heaviness that anyone could feel. A child was choking on some food and his mother kept trying to hit his back, trying to get whatever was out of his airway. You had a poker face on as you analyzed the situation before deciding on what to do.

“Haijun, go find a physician or someone in the medical,” you ordered. “Specifically for children if you can.”

Hu Tao was going around door-to-door as usual, trying to promote her business. However, the growing crowd in the food market is what drew her attention.

She tried to squeeze past the bystanders, only to be pushed back with a stumble. But then she heard some people scream, calling out for the Millelith as someone was doing… something. She could hardly see because of these people...

“Someone get the guards!” a woman shouted. “They’re going to drown my son!”

“Shut the fuck up! I’m not!” another voice argued. "Just let me do my thing, woman!"

The mob of people started to disperse from the scene, though a few still lingered. At the canals, Hu Tao managed to see that there were two people in the canals. Both of them were drenched with water but the one in formal clothes was holding onto someone else. A young child, to be specific, and he was being held by the shoulders to be shoved into the waters, struggling to stay conscious. The woman who shouted for the guards was most likely the mother.

That’s when the director realized who was keeping the child underwater. The notorious leader of the Fukahire Gang? Was this personal business? Though she had never seen them in person, she had heard rumors of their questionable motives.

“Step aside! Everyone keep away!”

As if on cue, the gang had shown up, pushing people away from the three. However, Hu Tao managed to stay to the side and continue to watch what was going on.

“We came as soon as we can, Boss!”

You were not drowning this lady’s son. You struggled to get the lady off you as you dunked the boy’s head into the canal. The water was cold and you guessed that the kid was barely five. The Heimlich maneuver wouldn’t work because he was too small and he was clearly too old to try hitting him on the back.

You continued to keep his head down under the cold canal water. Hoshi has taught you this thing. The Diving Reflex. The younger the person, the more likely it would react. The colder the water, then the better it would work. Sure, you were getting your clothes wet in the process, but you were saving this kid’s life. You were doing whatever was best in the moment, relying completely on your instincts.

The chances of this working were slim but you were willing to take it.

When your underlings came back, you had pulled him up from the water, shoving the lady off you in the process, and ordered them on what to do. The boy’s mother was still sitting in the water, confused by what you were doing.

“His airway is obstructed.” You were about to hand the unconscious child to one of them. “Remove it via forceps.”

“We brought a med kit, Boss!”

You perked up at this. “Ah. Well, I'll lay him on the nearest table and keep track of his pulse as I take it out.”

You worked fast, rolling up your sleeves and turning to the mother. You grabbed the forceps and ordered your men to keep people away. You closed your eyes as you tried to locate the thing choking him. It didn’t take long to take out the dumpling he was previously blocking his throat with the forceps. Once you were done, you went back to the frantic mother, who kept looking over your shoulder.

“He’s fine now, but take him for an emergency checkup.” You handed her a business card. “Just hand that to whoever at the pharmacy and they’ll help you right away.”

“W-Wait what?” she mumbled as she took it. Then she looked back down at her son, who was now breathing perfectly fine despite being in wet clothes. “B-But you were just drowning him!”

You scowled and shot her a glare to promptly shut her up. She would’ve froze on the spot if you didn’t order her to move. You pushed past everyone before the Millelith showed up, leaving the scene of what just went down. You felt Violet scamper up to sniff your damp chin. Her purple and cream fur was all ruffled from the recent water fight.

“Yes, I know. I’ll get you somewhere warm.”

The next day, you had decided to make your lunch break longer. Your assistant didn’t mind as she understood that what happened made you a bit peeved. Although you stayed calm on the outside, you were screaming internally. What you just did may or may not drastically change things. Were you supposed to let that kid choke like it was nothing? You drew so much attention but you had taught yourself that the gang leader was supposed to be elusive and mysterious.

Violet squeaked as she scurried to sit on your shoulder, leaning over to sniff your face. Her whiskers tickled your cheeks and you couldn’t help but giggle at how they danced over your skin.

“What kind of weasel is that?”

Your heart suddenly fell and you clicked your tongue, telling your weasel friend to go back into your pocket. You took a second to compose yourself.

“Ms. Hu, what an unusual question,” you said rather calmly. “What are you doing here?”

“Ohoho! You aren’t getting away that easily. So you’re the leader of that gang that’s been lingering around the harbor?” She plopped herself right next to you, swaying her legs above the water. “Also, don’t call me that. You make me sound like an old lady.”

Hu Tao leaned over to get a better look at you. You didn’t move or pull away, keeping calm and tossing more crumbs into the water for the fish. She watched the various colorful fish pop out to the surface like a child in amazement. You couldn’t hide the little twitch of your mouth from quirking up, a small smile that was barely noticeable. One glance at the funeral director told you that she was trustworthy.

“Did you need something from me, Hu Tao?” you repeated as you pulled out a bit of chicken from your lunch bag. This time you handed it to Violet, letting her pop her little head out from your jacket.

The brunette giggled as she saw your weasel friend. “So my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me! You really did pop out a purple weasel! Who would’ve thought that a tough gang leader like you would have been a softie to animals?”

You scoffed and rolled your eyes. “I’m not heartless, Tao. I’ll toss some bread to some and spare some Mora to others…”

“And you’ll steal potential clients from my parlor?” she hummed. She turned to you, drifting away from Violet. “Why did you keep that boy in the water? Were you trying to drown him for a bit or do you like toying with life?”

That last part of the question was dripping with a hidden disdain so you knew not to choose the latter. You bought some time by handing over another chunk of meat to Violet. The weasel moved to sit on your lap. “It’s called the Diving Reflex,” you stated. “You keep your nose and face under water while holding your breath. It’s a psychological response that prioritizes oxygen to vital organs and regulates that heart rate. The kid’s alive now but it isn’t something that’s reliable. Any option to save him was risky. But, I was able to buy time till I could get help with the method.”

“His chances for living were slim either way, you say?”

You nodded. His chances of any sort of survival were low, yet you managed to beat those odds through a mere gamble.

Hu Tao squinted her scarlet eyes as if she was trying to get a read on you. “Hmm. You really are something!”

You rolled your eyes once more. “I’m not a heartless asshole, Hu Tao. I wasn’t going to turn a blind eye to someone possibly dying. I get that people see me that way because I gamble with my business and I don’t care.”

The two of you sat together in peace before she suddenly asked you yet another question.

“So what happened to yesterday’s suit? Did you throw it out?” she joked.

You clicked your tongue and frowned. “Don’t be ridiculous. I would never waste such an expensive suit. I merely donated it after cleaning it…”

The last part caught her off-guard so she questioned you about it, which proceeded for you to explain how you worked. You didn’t give her crucial details but you told her enough to keep her interested. Rather than getting rid of old clothes via disposal, you donated them to charity. Of course, you had your friendlier underling do it because who in Liyue would accept any sort of gift from you. Either way, you were done with it.

When you explained this to her, you noticed that the director somewhat relaxed around you, almost softening up. But you did have to leave eventually.

You whistled for Violet to hop back into your pocket. She licked her paws for a bit before scampering to her spot. You left Hu Tao at the end of the docks without saying anything, but as you were going to walk away, you stopped. You didn’t know much about her as a person or character, despite being playable, but you did know that she was supposed to be a cheery and mischievous person, despite her unpopularity with the natives. Now that you thought about it, it was always hard to escape rumors. Maybe that’s why you had such a mixed background… and why you felt a kinship with her.

“You are welcome to sit with me again tomorrow,” you hesitantly offered. “I don’t mind your company.”

And that’s how you made a friend. Hu Tao would show up on your lunch break during the next few days, idly striking up conversations that usually started if you made her any new clients or lost her some, or asking if you could pop the weasel, to which then you’d let your weasel friend climb out for her own feeding time. The two got along quickly.

Her dark humor and corny puns never failed to make you smile. Though you hardly ever laughed, she seemed fine with it. You didn't wanna completely let your guard down. But you did find your sudden friendship rather heartwarming.

However, while you viewed your interactions as platonic, Hu Tao didn't. Her infatuation grew fast. It started out as a little ember, a very subtle warmth with you but clearly visible if you were gone. She thought that she could ignore it for a bit to simply enjoy her time together with you. After all, both of you were social outcasts so making a friend was hard, though for different reasons on each end. People didn't enjoy her pranks and she would bother the locals for certain deals for her parlor. As for you, the locals were quite honestly afraid of you and your reputation alone. Although some didn't seem to mind, most of them did and would deliberately go some other direction just to avoid your path. Yet Hu Tao couldn't care less merely because you tolerated her and her antics.

"Seriously, the last person from yesterday didn't even open his door!" she whined as she leaned her back against yours.

You handed her an entire piece of bread. "Hm. Would you like me to turn him into one of your clients?"

Hu Tao swung herself around to sit next to you, not noticing a dark shadow move from under the docks. You picked up on it immediately but didn't warn her. She giggled at your dry joke. "Nah. Then that would be too many clients for us! And although I wanna advertise my business," she was speaking with her hands, moving the one with bread around above the water, "I don't need that many custo-!"

Just as you were expecting, a fish had decided to be bold and jump up to get the food from Hu Tao's hand directly. She nearly shrieked from it but the fish had managed to pull her into the water with its weight. The two managed to splash water on you as they went diving in. The sudden look of surprise on her face was what got you to smile clearly. When she came gasping up to the surface for air, her hat was heavy, soaked with water and making it off on her head. You urgently helped her back up, keeping your gleeful expression. But as you stood beside each other, you looked closely at her. She was completely drenched. Her hat drooped on her as she tried to fix it, and that's what made the dam burst. The sight of her hat dipping on the corner of her head and the way her twintails sadly hung behind her.

You couldn't stop yourself from laughing at what just happened. The memory replayed in your mind. You were finally completely comfortable around her and your contagious joy came to you with ease, no longer caring about the things around you. That burst of unrestrained laughter was the final nail in the coffin that made Hu Tao realize that she was absolutely whipped for you. Her heart practically fluttered at the sight of your giddy grin. Thank the archons you were too busy laughing to notice her hiding her flustered flush.

Genshin Women Take You Shopping

Modern AU - Gender Neutral Reader (No pronouns) - Platonic ft. Ningguang, Beidou, Yae Miko, Kokomi, Keqing, Amber, Eula

"You really don't have to do this Ningguang, I'm fine, I swear," You tried to excuse yourself, but felt it was no use either way.

"Come on Y/n! You deserve something fancy every now and then." Beidou reassured, pushing you through the entrance of an expensive name-brand store by your shoulders.

Today was a monumental occasion, to say the least, or that was certainly how it felt when the girls announced it. Amber, ever attentive to her friend's emotions, had seen the late nights, the endless cups of pure caffeine, and the hair-pulling stress you had been experiencing recently. Once she discussed her concerns for your health with the other ladies, Ningguang had the idea to spoil you with some retail therapy.

So here you were at the largest mall in the area, the bubble tea Kokomi bought you in one hand and a posse of fashionable women acting as your team of personal stylists around you. In front of the group, Miko, Keqing, and Eula stood before the map, planning a route to take you along.

"Well then, shall we?" Miko mused to the group.

"I believe an anticlockwise approach will allow the most efficient trip, starting from the top floor and making our way down." Keqing proposed, evidently taking her job very seriously no matter the task.

"Sounds great. Y/n, are you ready to go?" Kokomi asked, causing the group of women to look at you. You smiled, nodding at their enthusiasm, however subdued or evident the emotion was in each of them.

"Ooo! This top would look amazing on you Y/n!" Amber pressed a light top to your chest. Nodding in the confidence of her own choice.

"Yes, and this jacket would complement it nicely, wouldn't you say?" Eula presented a cropped jacket, the paneled colours matching Amber's choice.

"I believe these would suit the bottoms Keqing found earlier," Kokomi identified, matching an outfit in her head.

The women lead you back to the dressing rooms, where Beidou and Miko sat patiently waiting for your return. They had overtaken an entire stall in the corner for your use, the small wall hooks already flowing with garments of varying styles. The range surprised you as much as the volume did, from casual wear to formal, a rainbow of options laid awaiting your approval.

"Welcome back. I think we've gathered more than enough material to play dress-up" Miko prompts.

"Where are Ningguang and Keqing?" Amber asked, noticing the mentioned women were absent from the party.

"They're off searching for accessories," Beidou informed.

"I'd suggest you don't attempt to predict my movements Captain," Ningguang said as she and Keqing approached the dressing room. "I may just surprise you." The duo shared a smirk, as Keqing approached you, holding a simple, but elegant chain necklace.

"Here, we found this and believed you would take a liking to it," Keqing held out the jewelry, allowing for your scrutiny. You took it carefully from her hands, inspecting the beautiful piece with awe. The women around you gasped as tears began to fall slowly from your eyes, Amber quickest to come hold your arm in comfort.

"What's the matter Y/n?" Kokomi asked softly.

"Is it the necklace? If so, please know I am happy to remove it from your sight immediately-" Ningguang offered.

"No, no the necklace is beautiful," You choked, clasping it with care. Eula approached your front, carefully lifting your head from its bow and locking your gaze in her own.

"Y/n, please know we are here for you, and you alone. Your strife, no matter how small, will dissipate under my wrath, our wrath, should you only give the word," You smiled at Eula's comfortingly Eula-like words.

"It's just, I haven't been treated out like this in a long, long time, if ever," You began, attempting to wipe the tears from your face. "And you're all so kind to me, I still can't believe you're willing to go so far just to make me happy. I'm so lucky to have you all, and I want you to know how much I love you all,"

Without warning, your body was surrounded by the warm arms of a half-a-dozen women, many with tears in their own eyes.

"Shoot Y/n, you even got me crying," Beidou chuckled, wiping a tear from her eye as her other hand squeezed your shoulder, her arm encompassing the group in the wide hug.

"We love you soooo much!" Amber was crying the hardest of the group, squishing her teary face against your unoccupied shoulder, Eula coming up just behind her to support you both in your tears.

"You are always welcome to come to us if you ever need a break, you are entitled to our services, you know," Your remaining tears were swiped quickly away by Miko.

"We're here for you, always," Keqing agreed, hugging your side. Kokomi nodded quietly, focusing more on petting your hair lovingly. Ningguang took your face in her hands, smiling as she pressed a gentle kiss to the crown of your head. The love around you was warm, constant, and comfortable.

You hoped it would never end.

Hugs/Cuddles/Physical affection they enjoy

Just a heads up this is my first fanfic that I’ve made so it might end up a bit cringy, so this is a sorry in advance just in case it is. This wasn’t a request by someone I just wanted to do it. Most of these can also be seen as platonic. Also (P) means platonic and (R) means/more romantic

Characters used

Diona (P)

Qiqi (P)

Klee (P)

Sayu (P)

Kokomi (R)

Hu Tao (R)

Collei (P)

Fischl (R)

Ayaka (R)

Keqing (R)

Amber (R)

Ganyu (R)

Platonic character x reader

Diona enjoys it when you pet her head softly, but she’d never tell you that. She’ll only hint at it when she wants you to pet her head. You figure it out after a while, but only because she started to force you to pet her head softly. She likes it so much because she lacks affection from her father who only drinks and hunts. You give her the affection and attention she needs, and only wants from you. Her honorary older sibling. <3

Qiqi enjoys it when you hold her hand while doing anything. It’s one of the only things she remembers that she enjoys. She’ll hold your hand while you walk around, sit, or do anything in fact. To her it doesn't matter as long as she can remember that she has a person that isn’t just Dr. Baizhu, that cares for her, and protects her. <3

Klee loves it when you let her have a piggyback ride on you! She loves to see things from a higher point of view than her own. She’ll sometimes beg to get a piggyback ride on you, because you’re the only one who still does it. The others deemed her too old (she’s around 8-10 years old) while you simply just let her. To you it didn’t matter how tired you’d get from her getting piggyback rides on you all the time, it was worth it for her bright smile that she always wore while on your back. <3

Sayu likes it when you let her sleep on your lap. She feels extra safe with you watching over her while she sleeps. She also likes it when you run your fingers through her hair while she sleeps, to her it’s comforting. You're also one of the only people who will let her sleep on you for a few hours. The others don’t like being stuck in place for hours on end while she sleeps on them. (The only other who will let her sleep on them is Ayaka; she already stays in one place for hours. Why not have another person with her?) Sometimes you two also sit together while you read (or another activity that you don’t have to move much in) while she falls asleep on you. <3

Collei doesn’t like being touched much at all, but sometimes she’ll get a hug from you or a simple hand squeeze and she likes it. You never force her to hug you or give any physical touch, You’ll only touch her with her permission. Which sometimes makes her cry because she hasn’t felt that comforted in years. Even with master Tighnari, and Amber you're the only one she’s somewhat comfortable with touching her. So please be okay with her only giving little physical touch. (also when she starts crying or is on the verge of crying, and you ask if you can give her a hug. it only makes her cry more from the comfort you give her.) <3

More romantic type of character x reader

Kokomi enjoys when you let her rest her head on your shoulder while she reads or works. She tends to have to work very often, and it quickly ruins her social battery. So when you invite her to rest her head on your shoulder she never denies it. The affection you give her helps recover her battery for the rest of the day. Plus it lets her get her work done quickly and have little disturbance. The people of Watatsumi Island quickly learn after you both started dating that you didn’t enjoy it when they disturbed her. You’d give them the dirtiest glare or be extremely passive aggressive to the “poor soul” that disturbed her. Because of that she’s gotten a better sleeping habit and a bit more free time, with her work becoming more spread out among other people. <3

Hu Tao really likes giving you surprise hugs. Hu Tao enjoys any affection with you, but when she found out about the face you’d get (surprised and a bit of blushing from the sudden contact) from a surprise hug. She found her new favorite way to give affection to you. So oftenly when you're not paying attention she’ll quickly go to you, and hug you tight. She also enjoys when you give her surprise hugs. It's only about once a month so not very often. But the day you give her a surprise hug, that day of the month becomes her favorite day that month. <3

Fischl likes it when she’s reading a book (fictional ofc) and you play with her hair while laying down on your lap. She likes drifting off to another reality while also being grounded in “this one” by you playing with her hair. When you do this with her, she doesn’t feel the need to talk all fancy. With you she’s just Fischl and not ‘Prinzessin der Vertureilung’. (She also sometimes lets you call her amy, mostly when she first wakes up) <3

Ayaka also enjoys it when you play with her hair, or run your hands through her hair. She enjoys it while she works on something or you're both just close to each other, and you start to play with her hair. It can be a bit distracting to her work, but she likes it too much to ever tell you that. She also likes being physically close to you in any way, but she still is very easily flustered. So please be okay with her taking a while to get used to your affection. <3

Keqing likes it when you rest your hand (or head in private) on her shoulder. Resting your hand on her shoulder isn’t normally seen as a romantic jester. So it’s a way for her to get affection from you in public, while no one bats an eye to it. It’s simple and you tend to do it without thinking, but it’s something that she loves getting from you because of that. <3

Amber loves it when you both go on walks around Mondstadt and you hold her hand. It’s a way that she can slowly drag you around Mondstadt without ever losing you. So more often than not you’re both seen walking around together. Your relationship together has been called ‘adorable’ by the people of Mondstadt, more times than you can count. But at least you’re together through the teasing. <3

Ganyu enjoys laying her head in your lap and taking a nap while you do a quiet activity. She only does it in more private settings, but it’s something you both enjoy a lot. When she naps on your lap she gets better sleep than when she does in most other places. Even though she doesn’t need sleep, she still likes it best with you. Every time you’ve caught together like this outside, which is only a few times she becomes a blushing mess that you find adorable. <3

Hello there! I've been following your tumblr for a time now and saw your beautiful works! I'm quite impressed by the style of your writing! If it's possible and wouldn't make you uncomfortable, I'd like to make an Angst Request! Raiden Ei, Ayaka, Yelan, Keqing and Jean break up with their S/O due to some circumstances that you can choose or just leave it a mystery. After a couple of month they learn that their S/O become quite skilled fighter because they've been throwing off themselves into dangerous fights and somehow get things done. Also they doesn't care if they get gravely wounded. When our girls find their S/O to get them back they see that their S/O is already injured heavily. They find a shelter themselves and our girls tries to patch them up as they make things better! It may have a bad or good ending up to your choice. I'm sorry if this request is too detailed, this cliché request has been on my mind for a while now and I wanted to send this to you. (Also if you don't mind, I can be your angst anon with an 🔥emoji)

oo, no worries! thank you for the compliment and i hope you enjoy! (also yes you can be my angst 🔥 anon!)

Ayaka, Jean, Keqing, Ei, Yelan x gender neutral!reader

ex s/o who now gets into fights a lot/injured a lot angst, hurt with comfort (Ayaka, Jean, Yelan)(?), hurt no comfort (Ei, Keqing), mentions of injuries/blood/etc, reader uses a sword, mild language (Jean, Yelan), reader having a vision mentioned (Ei), reader is a pyro vision user (Yelan)

The both of you were going through a rough patch in your relationship. She was busy with work and isn't able to spend as much time with you. It hurts when she mentions breaking up. You know its necessary since you both are becoming distant but, it doesn't hurt any less. All you can leave her with is a simple.

" I'm sorry. Please take care. "

Sharpening your sword skills was difficult enough. Finding opponents that didn't go easy on you was harder. What was easy though was finding the Nobushi in Inazuma.

Ever since you and Ayaka had parted your separate ways and continued to live your lives without each other, you had been practicing your sword skills as an adventurer. Your most recent battle with the Nobushi wounded you severely.

As you limped along the beach, the scarlet red liquid dripping down from your abdomen onto the sand below you as you walked. Konda Village was in coming into your blurry sight, the blood loss making you dizzy.

As you slowly made your way onto the grass, your blurry vision caught that white hair you missed seeing oh so much. Giving the girl a weak smile as she ran up to you was the last thing you could remember doing before your vision went black.

-~-

You faded in and out of consciousness, you don't know how long you were actually out but before you knew it, you were comfortably laid in a bed, someone hunched over you. Your ears were ringing painfully, leaving you unable to hear the words that were being said around you.

" They'll be alright, right? "

" Hopefully. Here's the... "

You weren't in the right mindset to identify the voices or even hear them at that point. Everything was so painful as you tried to lift your arm. Pain shooting through your body as you freeze. When had an injury had been this painful? Your mind was foggy as you laid there but soon lessened when you felt a hand on your shoulder.

" (name), I'm going to need you to take this medicine.. " The sweet voice that you couldn't remember when you heard last. " You were terribly injured, you know.. "

" Wai- " Your voice was hoarse as you tried to lift yourself up, blinking your eyes and searching for some sort of hydration. Ayaka gently lifted the water cup up to you for you to drink from. The cool water tasted so good in that moment. " Wait- I need to.. " Your voice trailed off again. What did you need to do? Was it just an excuse?

" What you need is to rest, (name)! If a villager from Konda hadn't alerted Thoma and I, who knows what would have happened to you! " Ayaka worriedly said, kneeling beside you. " I'm sorry if this is.. because of what happened a while back.. but please rest, (name).. "

You sighed and reached for the medicine she had beside her. Perhaps you could listen to her a little more, even if it is for just a few days. Or weeks. You knew you couldn't burden her with such a trivial thing for any longer than you have already.

You could never leave the Knights of Favonious even after what happened between you and the Acting Grandmaster. Both of you being so busy with work wasn't good for your relationship and you both ended up well, cutting it off.

Jean always had tried to make it as not awkward as possible between the both of you when you both did have to interact but it was always slightly tense on your part if if was just you two.

The Abyss Order was getting tougher and tougher, always calling in reinforcements. It was lucky for anyone to get out of a fight with them with only some cuts and burns.

Today was particularly bad for you. A new abyss mage had shown up. You had never seen one before and now you were thinking that you never wanted to see one again.

The burns it left made it feel like your skin was on fire, it hurt like hell honestly. The walk back to the city felt more like a hike to you. You were exhausted but at this point, you didn't really care. The city was more important.

Seeing the large tree on Windrise was a big relief. The city was near but a break seemed pretty nice at that moment. Your sword had long been repurposed as a makeshift cane to help you walk better.

The smooth bark of the massive tree's trunk that led up to the branches above that shaded you from the sun above was inviting you to sit under the canopy. As you slide down to sitting on the soft grass, you turned to check the burned skin.

" (name)! What are you doing here?! " The voice was filled with concern as footsteps got closer. " Amber had told me you weren't back yet so I was worried.. "

You turned your head towards the blonde approaching you. " Heh, yeah. They got me good.. At least the city is safe, right? "

" I guess so.. but (name), you can't do these dangerous things by yourself all the time! Let me get you back to see a healer. " You shrugged, not caring about the injuries now as she helped you up.

" I can walk, Jean. I'll be fine. You don't have to worry about me anymore, I can fight. " You walked along as normally as you could beside her, not wanting to stress her out more.

" ...You're right. Sorry, (name). You can tell me what happened when we get back. "

Work. That's all you had known ever since you joined the Liyue Qixing. It wasn't the place for you. Overworking yourself everyday to get everything done. Your ex-girlfriend had it down better than you did. You could say that it was a reason for you both to break up.

Keqing was always a workaholic for as long as you could remember. Thats what drove you apart. She couldn't take a break. You had started helping out the Adventurers Guild more, seeing as you could choose when and what work you do.

Taking on that Lawachurl was a mistake. It had apparently been causing trouble and needed a skilled fighter to take care of it so of course, you took the job.

You didn't heed the warning you were given as you took the commission, already waving as you left to head towards the location. The terrain was rockier than usual but you had already seen the Lawachurl ahead and started to make your way over to it.

It seemed to be irritated, throwing the Geo slimes every which way as you approached. Getting your vision ready, you approached it, sword drawn to attack. Your vision suddenly went black as the Lawachurl turned to you, letting you wake up only a few moments later from a voice.

" No escape! "

Your head was aching and you had scratches from what you were assuming the rocks around you. " ...Keqing? " You called out to the purple figure, vision blurry from the impact on your head.

" You're part of the Liyue Qixing, (name). Get up and uphold the name. " She spoke harshly towards you, helping you up by offering you her hand.

" Got it.. " You sighed as she walked away.

" Don't let it happen again. " Your head was pounding and it almost made you want to call out for her to help you but you knew she wouldn't. You slowly but surely, made your way back to the Harbor, being sure to avoid Qiqi and Baizhu since you didn't think you should bother them with such simple injuries that you had let yourself get.

The Tenryou Commission was a busy place. Being apart of it was even busier. The battles with the Resistance always were terrible. The injuries and consequences were terrible.

The rare times the Shogun came to visit was always stressful. Even if it wasn't Ei, you still felt your heart ache for the purple haired woman. You had missed her so much yet, no matter how much you yearned to be with her again, you couldn't.

The Nazuchi Beach battle against the Resistance didn't go particularly well for the Tenryou Commission. It was painful knowing that it was so difficult to win against those soldiers. Kujou Sara never let up on the training before the battle either. You body had ached even when waiting for the order to charge.

You weren't prepared to win this. You knew that. You knew that even as you lied on the ground after the defeat, the less wounded soldiers retreating to get a healer or help for the more wounded. It hurt.

As you slowly lifted yourself up, your vision at your hip glowed faintly. You rubbed your eyes, careful not to get any sand in them to irritate them more than they already were. The familiar shoes that walked towards you made you look up at her.

" This is the outcome? " She surveyed the battlegrounds before looking back to you.

" Y-Yes. " You lowered your head.

" I see... (name), leave the Tenryou Commission. You're not well suited for this. " She spoke calmly, her eyes staring at you before she walked off, soon disappearing before you could see where she went.

Although, you had no clue if it was the Shogun or Ei appearing before you and speaking to you, the words stung and left a terrible feeling in you.

You watched the Fatui from behind the crates. You knew you shouldn't have followed them but after telling your friend to get backup to help, you had to follow the Fatui into the Domain.

Secretly you had hoped they would go to the Liyue Qixing or even the Adventurers Guild, in hope of not seeing Yelan again but alas, you had to take what you could get.

Spotting pyro slimes in the explosive barrels around the room gave you an idea. Although risky, you didn't care. You focused your pyro vision into making a spark on the closest barrel to you. If you were lucky you could make it out with just some burns and scrapes but you knew it wouldn't play out like that.

" Just a.. little more- " You whispered out to yourself, seeing the fire from the pyro slime spark at the wood around the barrel. You plugged one ear with your finger, scared of the explosive boom that would soon ring throughout the room.

Soon, the barrel exploded in a display of orange and yellow flames, hitting the others around the room causing the stone walls to rattle around you before the explosions had hit you. " Shit! " You cursed as you stood against the wall, in attempt to get away from the explosion.

-~-

As fast as you had felt the heat on your face was as fast as you felt the cool breeze hit.

" Glad you're alright. Big explosion you created, (name). " Your vision cleared to see the hydro woman, that you were hoping you didn't have to see today, in front of you with her hand on her hip.

" Whatever.. It got the job done, didn't it? " You looked around, spotting the Fatui already being dealt with by the Millelith.

" It did, but that doesn't excuse you from the explosion you created. You can't go around doing stuff like that. " She scolded, although it felt more like she was just telling you it. " Let's get back to Liyue, yeah? Baizhu can fix up your burns when we get back. "

" ...Yeah. Thanks, I guess, though these burns aren't a big deal. " She just shook her head at you and started walking away, assuming you would follow close behind. " Stupid Yelan.. "

Hey there! I'd like to make a request pls because I really liked the post u did where Ei, Yae and Kokomi were voicing their fear that their s/o might leave them. Could u maybe do this prompt with Eula, Jean and Keqing? If u don't then that's okay! Anyway hope u r doing well :)

Synopsis: overhearing your s/o say “I just hope they don’t leave me.”

Warnings: self doubt/ doubt in a relationship I suppose, as well as crying in Eula’s part, otherwise it’s just not proofread :D

Game/ fandom: genshin impact

Characters: eula, jean, and keqing

Pronouns for reader: gender neutral/ not mentioned

A/n: hello! I don’t typically write for jean or keqing, so I apologize if they’re slightly ooc. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy, and have a lovely rest of your day/ evening!

— eula —

Eula always felt you would leave her, and not even because she did anything wrong, no no she knew she was a wonderful girlfriend (at least she tried to be). But she felt you would leave her because did her family. Either because you found out who her family is, or they finally got their message through that “eula was a disgrace and a traitor to their clan.”

She always bottled these feelings up, knowing you wouldn’t do that. But deep down they always remained. Eula is secretly an emotional person, and requires a lot of affection from you (she’s touch starved let’s be real). So, when she starts isolating herself when she comes home… you become a bit suspicious

In the recent days eula seemed much more… private than usual. Kept more to herself than usual. She wasn’t a very lovey dovey person, but she at least spent time with you, and cuddled you when you went to sleep.

Recently though, she’s always gone straight to your shared room, or straight to her home office when she came back from a long day at work. You knew knights of favonius work was tough, so you respected her privacy! But then… one day you heard sobbing from her office.

Quiet cries, and sniffling was all that could be heard from the small crack in the doorway. The soft light of a lamp shined on Eula’s body. Her face buried if her hands, and elbows resting in her empty desk. She wasn’t working, but rather… sitting quietly in her office, or your room for the past few days.

She let out a sigh, and said “I just don’t want them to leave me…” those words made your heart shatter. You softly knocked on the door, “eula…? What’s wrong?” You said walking into the office.

Eula’s head shot up, and she started crying more. Pulling you into her lap, she sobbed into the crook of your neck, mumbling apologies for the past few days. You’ve never seen her this way, she was typically fairly upfront with her emotions but never… showed them like this.

“Eula it’s ok… I won’t leave you.” You said brushing her hair out of her face and behind her ear. That seemed to calm her down, and she nuzzled into your shoulder, her cries starting to become quieter, and quieter, until they stopped. She had fallen asleep.

— jean —

Jean beloved communication was key in your relationship, feeling that, like being the acting grand master, you had to communicate, and work with people for the best possible outcome.

But… with how much you’ve been hanging out with other people… and with how busy she’s been… that feelings changed.

Lisa and jean often met up every week for some coffee and/ or tea once a week at a new cafe in mondstadt. It was very lovely, and you wanted to check it out for yourself! You though your girlfriend had already taken her lunch break, and had been on her way back to work by the time you had gotten there.

You walked in and… to your surprise she was still there, sitting with Lisa talking over a cop of coffee. You decided ti go say hi, but when you walked closer you overheard jean saying something… worrying.

“I really am just nervous that they’ll leave me… I mean I have barely seen them. They’re either hanging out with kaeya at dawn winery, or… or I’m busy!” Jean let out her frustrations to Lisa, who was listening to every word.

Jean sipped some of her tea before resuming, “and I have no clue how to tell them that either!” Lisa looked over a bit, to see… you! Standing there! Hearing every word she just said. Lisa chucked before saying, “you just did tell them.” And pointing in your direction. Quickly turning around jean saw you.

The apologetic look on your face said it all, “I’m gonna go get some coffee, I’ll uh… talk to you at home tonight ok sweetie?” You said kissing her cheek before doing exactly what you said, and getting some coffee. Jean didn’t know wether to be thankful, or mortified.

— keqing —

Keqing has very good ways to let of some stress, and decompress before coming home. But… she’s been doing that more than usual as of recently. Why? Oh… maybe it’s because she has a fear that you’re going to leave her, for someone better, like… I don’t know the traveler maybe?

She’s afraid you’re going to realize she’s not as strong as she acts, and to prevent that… she’s been going around liyue practicing her swordsmanship, and to cool of some steam.

With a sharp swing of her sword the ruin guard falls, and becomes nothing more than red particles. The metallic noises of the ruin guard disintegrating, are the only thing to compete with keqings heavy breathing.

She struggled with that one. It’s not good enough. She’s not good enough. You’ll leave her if she’s not strong enough… and she would do almost anything to prevent that. So she continues, mumbling to herself about how you’ll leave her.

Suddenly, she heads rustling in the bush, and brings out her sword to be ready. And all she sees… is you! Popping out of the bush, with leaves and sticks in your hair. Your bag seems full of medical herbs that grow around this area… we’re you foraging?

“Y/n? What are…?” Keqing asks, but is cut off by you smooshing her face together and yelling, “keqing I would never leave you because e you aren’t strong enough! You are one of the most strong and resilient people I know, and not only as your partner but as your friend I say that I look up to you a lot!”

Your face mere inches from her own, she bursts out into a bright shade of red. You kiss her all over her face, and drag her home to treat her injuries that she got while fighting the ruin guard. Seems she doesn’t need to train anymore… you already thinks he’s more than strong enough.
