#mihoyo when do i get to give her a hug

[hydrachea]

[bittersweetorpheus]

this idea has been boiling in my head for WEEKS I tell you WEEEEKSS so I thought I might as well just let it out:

what if you worked for the tsaritsa as just another fatui skirmisher or cicin mage and slowly climb the ranks until you manage to land a position as the personal assistant to the personal assistant to the harbingers! yay! a promotion! but also maybe not so yay since it’s highly likely you get killed in like the first week or so… but whatever, you’ll take what you can get.

they don’t pay much attention to you at first but they eventually warm up to you and even start seeking you out more as time goes on.

meanwhile, you, on the other hand, have started to notice this- how could you not when you could feel the captains gaze on you whenever youre bent down over paperwork and thinks you can’t see him or the way the balladeer always drags you away from whatever you were doing for something “urgent” when he really just wandered around somewhere while ranting about random things to you or the fiery red butterfly that’s seemed to take a liking to you and could almost always be found resting on your shoulder

…and well, there were less subtle ones too- like the random segment that would always be a few steps behind you no matter where you went or the almost weekly chess games that the jester kept invite you even though you kept losing miserably to him hey! it’s not you’re fault when you also have to focus on ignoring the suprising amount of sexual tension!

but even more suprising is the way damselette calls you over to just. lay her head in your lap and sing or doze off while you do your work.

however, unlike damselette, the marionette is one for more silent appreciation. she shows you the projects she’s working on and if you show interest in a particular thing, say, one of automaton she’s creating, she’ll take note of it and might even make a pocket sized version to give to you- something that you could put on your keychain or keep as a figurine if you’re into that type of stuff!

Speaking of gifts- the regrator. gives. you. so. many. at first, he gave you jewelry with a price tag that even glancing at would probably send someone into debt but if you don’t wear jewelry, he’ll probably take note of things you like or hobbies you have. you like drawing? prepare to have trouble opening the door with how many expensive art supplies are piled up infront of it. you like stuffed animals? BOOM!! Your bed is overflowing with so many stuffed animals! You’re hyperfixating on something? Don’t worry- hes got ya covered!

Now, if you ever wanted to get better in combat, who better to ask for help than the Knave herself? However busy she is with the orphanage, she can always find time to help you fix your posture or get better at using a different weapon or anything you might need help with. While she’s cold and straightforward to everyone else, she’s surprisingly patient when it comes to you and sometimes, on the particularly rough days, quietly reassures you that you did good.

And lastly, Childe. He’s one of the more openly friendly ones that you can have actual normal conversations with. He’s definitely more comfortable with showing affection because of the traveler and his family and such so he’s someone you could go to if you just need a hug and a headpat.

Soft harbingers. That’s it. I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY PLEASE MIHOYO PLS GIVE THEM HAPPINESS

anyways so sorry that this turned into just me rambling or if this is incomprehensible or something 😭

Xiao: Fainting HCS

FUCK. I FORGOT TO POST THIS EARLIER. AHHHH. I HAVE WORK IN LIKE 2 MINUTES SO I’LL BE BACK TO REPLY TO EVERYONE. 

Hey anon! So sorry it took me forever to finish writing this but good luck if you’re planning on pulling Xiao. I really wanted to finish writing this fic as an offering to the gacha gods that c1 xiao wants to bless me (even tho that’s not gonna happen). But good luck to everyone rolling today^^.

Disclaimer: I have not watch anything about Xiao because my hype can only take so much. This was written before 1.3. So if I get anything wrong or I’m missing something. That’s why.

---

Can I just say how far Xiao has come in my writing since the first part of the semi series? Sniff, feel like we’re making character development for a character that’s not even out yet. I can’t wait for mihoyo to take my HCS and rip them apart.

Xiao: Fainting HCS

Instant panic mode engaged. If you’ve ever doubted his adepti power of swiftness you’re about to be mistaken. He’s noticed that you seem a bit out of it but brushed it off as you being tired from your recent journey. If there was anything bothering you, you would tell him. But as he turned around to greet you back, it seems like time is slowing down for him. He sees how your eyes glazed over and become unfocused. The muscles in your body snap and you drop to the ground. He can feel his blood run cold as past memories that have been waiting to jump at him suddenly claw at him but he doesn’t even register them. He’s already running towards you.

He’s already caught you in his arms before you can even meet the wooden floor. His brain is racing as he quickly checks your pulse to make sure you didn’t suffer from a heart attack or a curse. He makes a quick search over your body to check for any injuries, he can already feel the red hot iron of anger fill his system at the thought of someone trying to take advantage of you or threaten you. He’s usually logical in these types of situations, even the death of Rex Lapis didn’t shock him this much, but he’s been battling his conflicting feelings ever since he met you. But now that he’s finally accepted you and himself, he wouldn’t know what to do if anything happened to you. His mind flashes to Guizhong before he shakes away the thought.

It doesn’t occur to him that you might be sick as he tries to shake you awake. Whatever teachings Guizhong and Morax have taught him fly out the window as he holds you so close to his chest, he’s pretty sure his grip on you is bruising. He knew mortal souls weren’t as strong as adepti and staying around one might cause sickness or even worse- death. Was this his fault? He can feel the drop in his stomach as he tries to reign in his emotions and powers, not here.

Verr almost screams when Xiao breaks the wooden ceilings and lands in front of her. She’s scared that there was a monster outbreak or something was wrong with Xiao before she notices your passed out form in his arms. As much as she likes to joke around and thinks your relationship with Xiao is cute, she knows that if anything came to seriously harm you she wouldn’t able to calm Xiao before he goes on a rampage. You mean so much to him and he hasn’t opened his heart to anyone except you.

She can tell he’s nearly past his breaking point as he looks at her with dilated eyes as he asks, no commands, her to help you. It’s such whiplash to her. Xiao’s always been polite and reserved that she almost forgets he used to be a demon slaying Yaksha, but this isn’t the time for her to worry about that. She quickly leads him to the backroom since there’s no way Xiao wouldn’t bite any hand that comes near you. Bless Verr’s heart since this isn’t the first time she’s had to handle Xiao’s outbreaks that she manages to save face and contact a doctor that was staying at the inn to look at you. She does feel a bit bad for the doctor who looks like he’s about to piss himself in fear as Xiao growls and watches the doctors every move with piercing yellow eyes.

Xiao is still wary when the doctor and Verr try to calm him down and examine you more closely, always flinching back whenever their hands get too close to you, letting out a dangerous hiss whenever there’s the slightest twitch of discomfort in your face when the doctor feels your heated forehead. As soon as the doctor concludes that you’ve been sick for the past few days and your body just needs to heal itself and recharge, the tension on Xiao’s shoulder loosens and the suffocating aura that’s been filling the room slowly filters out. Verr can’t help but sigh in relief but can’t bring herself to scold Xiao for breaking the inns roof as she watches him look over your form with worried eyes as he softly nudges your cheek. He’s still holding you but his grip has loosen slightly as he rests his forehead against yours. He breathes a sigh of relief as he rubs small circles in your hand. Xiao’s never been the most affectionate or shown to be the most caring but you’ve seriously scared him. She quietly leaves him be and closes the door as she begins to prepare to fix the damages.

Xiao never leaves your side as he waits for you to wake up. He can’t help but berate himself for not confronting you. The doctor said you would be fine but he can’t but imagine your body falling in a more violent scene. He quickly shakes those thoughts away as he paces around the room, sits besides you, then goes back to pacing. Usually he would go on a walk or beat his aggression out but he doesn’t want to leave you alone should you awake early.

Xiao doesn’t ramble about his day while you’re asleep, instead he just observes your features and the small movements you make to remind him that you’re okay. How your chest moves up and down as you breath or how your eyes sometimes scrunch in sleep. You’ve made him almost trip when you did it the first time since he thought you were waking up. He can’t help but think back to his fellow Yaksha’s and what they would say if they saw the way he was acting now.

Since his panic attack has mostly subsided he’s found himself growing more curious. He’s still worried about you but he’s managed to reason with himself that you’re okay, just sick which he’s going to scold you a bit for when you awake, so he softly brushes his fingers across your face. Before snatching his hand away in embarrassment. What the hell is he doing? Guizhong would slap him sideways if she saw him now. He huffs at himself as he deflates a little and rests his head on the bed beside your head. He’s patient. He will wait when your ready to wake up.

When you suddenly gain consciousness, it feels as if the entire world is weighing you down. You slowly blink open your eyes to see a worried Xiao hovering over you, his hands awkwardly in the air since he’s not sure if it’s okay to touch you.

“How are you feeling?” Xiao asks as his eyes dart all over the place before resting on your face. You’re still a bit out of it but you can tell he must have been really worried. You try to give him a small smile but with how scuffy you feel you can bet it’s not a pretty picture.

“Like I got slammed with one of Zhongli’s meteors,” you tried to laughed before coughing as Xiao quickly pressed a cup of water to your lips. Slowly letting you drink and calm down. 

“If you have time to make jokes then you’re alright” Xiao sighs before his features change slightly. His eyes glaze over in concern as a small frown appears. He really does look like a kicked kitten as he slumps over as the stress finally lifts as he feels your hand softly run through his hair.

“Sorry,” you say, he must have been so stressed out while you were passed out for him to look so exhausted. He simply nudges into your hand before turning his face to kiss your palm,

“There’s no need for apologies. I’m...just glad you’re okay,” Xiao mumbles before he’s back to pressing his head into your stomach. You can’t help but smile delicately as you reach over and bring Xiao up with you until he’s lying over you as you hug him gently. There’s a bit of shuffling before you’re able to spoon him as he let’s himself relax after the two day panic attack he just went through.

---

When you’ve fully recovered Xiao seems to hover around you a bit more. Well not a bit, a lot more, but no one has the heart to tell him that. It’s actually kind of adorable seeing the aloof and reserved adepti seem to follow you around like a loss duckling. Making sure you’re okay and you’re not overworking yourself. He still keeps his tough demeanor but you seriously gave him a big scare.

When Zhongli and Childe come over for their weekly visits of tea, they were aware that Xiao had locked himself in a room to watch over you and anyone that even stepped near the door would be skewered with a spear - and Verr would make them pay for the damages (Zhongli) and whatever consequences Xiao saw fit (Childe) - but they are happy to see you’re okay. You all fall back into your usual rhythm of conversation or Childe trying to get a rise out of Xiao while you and Zhongli talk about how lovely the weather’s been.

Zhongli let’s you in on some details that Xiao or Verr never mentioned while Childe and Xiao are fighting about who knows what. How Xiao wouldn’t leave your side or that he resembled a kicked kitten as he nudged your hand when he thought no one was looking. He offers you some medicine herbs to help with exhaustion and to take care of yourself. Likewise, to give Xiao some pain medication on his behalf. You’re one of the few good things in Xiao’s life and he doesn’t want anything bad happening to you.

---

Hmm. I didn’t mean to but I totally believe in the dad zhongli train and I think Zhongli basically just gave you his blessing? Maybe I’m thinking too hard on this haha.

Maybe this is better? Trying to figure out writing styles are hard. Either way, I’m never gonna end up kicking my paragraph HCS habit haha. If you couldn’t tell, I really like feral protective but lowkey vulnerable types (coughrazorcough). Xiao is so OOC at this point I don’t even know how to fix it. Please come home Xiao. 

(Edit: FUCK YEAH HE CAME HOME WITH DILUC. WE 90ED THIS BITCH AND IM ABOUT TO MAX HIS TALENTS. ILL SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL (since people have been asking) WHEN I GET BACK FROM WORK)

do u think Kiana and Mei fell in love quickly or slowly? was there a specific moment???

I feel like Kiana is one of those people that falls in love real fast agfjdklasghlksd Started out just being infatuated as all crushes do but after a month or two of being friends with Mei and getting to know her that started shifting into a deeper attraction than just "Omg pretty girl" y'know? I don't think there was a specific moment here. There might be a scene in the manga but I haven't read most of those yet, so agfdkljsaghlkas I do think you can see how Kiana's love for Mei matures throughout the game as well. When you compare how she is at the beginning of the game- borderline overbearing in how she's always jumping on Mei and ignoring orders so she can fight alongside her etc etc.- to how she is now. She's much more... not reserved but level headed about it I guess would be the words? It's very much connected to the rest of how Kiana matures as a character throughout the story. Younger Kiana would NOT be satisfied with knowing she'll see Mei again eventually and would probably try to 1 man army World Serpent to get her back instead of thinking about and eventually kinda respecting Mei's decision despite how much she dislikes it.

Mei seems like she'd be the opposite. It's slow for her, they get really close as friends over a year or two first and Mei thinks Kiana's just being her overzealous self when she starts declaring her love and getting really clingy. But they've known each other for a few years iirc by the time of the game and gradually over that time I think Mei would start noticing how much she's grown attached to Kiana's touch. Her hugs, the way she clings to Mei and always wants to do everything with her etc. Takes her a while to realize it had been something that started back when Kiana saved her in Nagazora. I'm going off of stuff from Lament of the Fallen here with how Mei talks about "you changed my destiny from the moment we touched" and "You're the most important person in my life". When Kevin gives Mei her options she realizes she really would do anything to keep Kiana alive.

Despite being very much on opposite ends of the spectrum in how their feelings develop, Mihoyo has made it obvious they love each other very much

Playing tricks with the trickster

Summary: Failed escape attempt from yandere Childe. He lets you play your cards, even playing along, just for his own amusement.

Notes: My first genshin piece yay... I had a sweet and terrible dream of me running from Childe in the woods. Also some inspiration was drawn from @cinnamonest‘s this post, one big virtual hug to her! I hope I did Childe justice, what can I say I love manipulative smiling boys. It has become a pattern as I dash from one fandom to another. This is had turned out to be longer then I expected...Ginger boy demands my time and energy too much omg. Mind the warnings, although there is nothing extreme in this.

Fun fact, I was looping to Nintendo game by Alessia Cara when writing this down. I believe it fits the theme of this fic quite well.

Tagging: @akutaguagua a great friend who patiently beta-read this mess of a horror dream and gave me lots of kind praises! 

(Offical art belongs to miHoYo! This is a cover page of this video, if there is any issues, contact me and I will remove it at once)

Warnings: Implied past abduction,dub-con touching, mild degradation, drugging(not on reader), implied non-con/dub-con at the end, this is not healthy love and I do not condone this irl.

It has been nearly a month since the youngest Fatui Harbinger had “taken you in”. After a few tries, you were too horrified by the punishments to continuously fight him. You learned on the first day that Childe’s smiling, the friendly mask would come off towards you. Your behaviour would decide if that is a curse or a “blessing”.

So you had quieted down, struggling to restrain yourself from yelling or screaming, carefully not to provoke his anger. Despite being compliant to his orders, you never truly showed him any affection either. Sure, you would sit on his lap if he asked, but you never initiated anything intimate with him. No matter how much Tartaglia spoiled you with clothes, books, jewelry or other luxuries, he is still the one who holds the commanding end of your shackles. It’s the best not to get used to all of that when your sight is set on the door.

Although he has taken your freedom away, you are not kept in a windowless room. On the contrary, you have too many outings now. Wherever he goes, you have to be present in a 2m radius, including meetings. Being a Harbinger is no easy job, so he prefers not having to worry about your safetly during buisness hours. The best way to do that is never let you out of his sight.

“Love, no one should witness our little problems. Well, no one alive that is.” Of course you wouldn’t want to put innocent people's lives at stake. You never dared to act out when you two are in public, and no one would bat an eye if a Fatui had taken a lover. 

You had taken an emotionless approach towards him. If Childe wants a kiss on the cheek, you’ll give him a quick light peck. If he wants breakfast, you’ll go make some pancakes with the topping he likes. Luckily, Childe had not done anything too extreme yet. If cuddling to sleep does not count as extreme that is. The only time you slipped up is when he suddenly hugs you from behind when you’re cooking.  

You thought maybe, just maybe, by being as boring and dull as you could, this bastard might just get tired of you and let you go. Childe only loves the fun of it right? Or maybe it could lower his guard.

Oh, how naive you are. You should have known better than to underestimate a Fatui harbinger. See, this is exactly why he needs to keep you around. Yes, unfortunately for you, Childe loves you, so very much. Speaking to him with a monotone voice isn’t going to alter that fact.

You have been devoid of emotions as of late. While Childe does appreciate fewer screams for the sake of his eardrums, this schemer can sense you are up to something. Perhaps this is the peace before your “storm”(he thought of it more like a drizzle)

You want to play a game? Okay, why not? Childe cannot wait to see what tricks you got on those sleeves. Are you ever getting away? Does an amateur ever win when they play a game with a professional trickster? Never.

Still, nothing bites like a cornered rat. You are no airhead, and he is fully aware of that. Just not as cunning and observent as him, that’s all.

The way you just kept your emotions sealed up is impressive, even to someone like him. Even when he got hansy, you did not flinch and just stared at the corner. Childe can only catch faint glimpses of anger when you thought he wasn’t looking.

Hm, when are you pulling your trigger? Tonight, or tomorrow night? Not that Childe is impatient, anything from you is worth waiting. But he would need to dismiss his patrolling underlings in the nearby woods beforehand. No extras would be allowed to disturb this game.

There is no chance during the day, a somewhat mutual understanding for you two. Night time in comparison, is a different story. 

Anyone’s sleeping hours is their most vulnerable time of the day, Childe is no exception. You do not plan to harm him, not that you don’t want to. But you are willing to swallow the pent up frustration towards him if you would never see his face again after this. Maybe beating up some slimes would help with the release?

You somehow managed to slip a mixture of herbs into his tea. Since he would buy cooking ingredients for you from time to time, you had requested a bunch of herbs along with the ingredients of a sleep inducing medicine you remembered. Although Childe does all he can to keep you near him, there are inevitable hours that he needs to be somewhere without you. He cannot jeopardize your safety with troublesome monsters. On a side note, he loves showing you off to anyone, his colleagues, acquaintances, business partners, anyone he does not deem a threat.

Enough time for you to make those herbs into powder and cover it up with a few spoons of milk. Tea with milk has become quite popular in Liyue as of late. Childe has grown to love them, so you have learned how to mix it up. He always let you handle his food and drinks, saying that he “trusts you”. What you do not know is this is one of the openings he exposed on purpose. It’s not like you can aquire anything deadly under his suffocating supervision.

Your plan will work, or so you think. Childe will not wake up when you wiggle out of his grasp, because dreamland will keep him occupied. All you need is a glider and a usable sword from Liyue and you’ll get your life back. Bottling up extreme emotions has certainly taken a toll on your mind, but it will be worth it if that is the prerequisite of being free.

Something about this being so easy sits ill with you. Have you really been with the youngest Fatui Harbinger this whole time? But that was brushed off your shoulders by the sheer excitement of regaining your long lost freedom. You know Liyue is in walking distance, all you need to do is cross these woods and-

The moment you dive into the forest, you think you heard an amused chuckle. 

That smooth voice terrifies you to no end, the same voice you took orders from for the past month.

Oh, how Childe loves seeing you happy. It’s priceless, both literally and figuratively. No matter how many things he buys you, you had not shown him even one small smile. Enjoy your sweet freedom, because it ain’t going to last. You certainly will know your place after this right? If not you are just dumber then he give you credit for.

That glow of relief in your eyes is worth every last bit of this intense dizzying feeling to Childe. To make sure your plan go through, he had drunk the tea without hesitation, quick enough to catch the momentarily excitement you expressed. He knows the game is on, therefore he had given the night patrol guards the entire evening off. Forcing himself to stay concious by digging his nails into his palms, Childe followed you into the woods.

Your potion is quite strong. Excellent, you’ll have to give him the recipe for informational purposes later. Especially how you managed to achieve such effects with a few herbs you had. He never took you to be anything less than a smart girl, but this has exceeded his expectations. Where’s the fun in a game without challenges?

How you storm through the forest wearing that cute terrified expression looks so endearing, it’s surely not his fault if he wants to enjoy this sight to be longer right.

So, each time you feel the slightest at ease due to whatever reason, expect Childe to make some sound to send you running like your life depends on it again. The sadistic man is hunting you down playfully, like a cat chasing a stray mouse to the inevitable corner.

You know he is toying with you. There is nothing you can do to make him shut up though.

“Love, you had scratched your leg. Must hurts by the looks of it.”

“Liyue is that way, you know.”

“Are you tired? If you want to jog in the middle of the night, you should have called me to come along!”

How can he say those things nonchalantly while you are trying to escape from him?  Here he is, daunting you with that signature smile he wears so very often. That is when reality slaps you right in the face. No matter how hard you plan, no matter how fast you run, there is no getting rid of him.

When your stamina runs out, a simple pull and push on your left wrist is enough to let you fall onto the ground panting. Even now, you still refuse to beg for mercy. You would take the cold grounds to the warmth of Childe’s embrace anyday. 

“Aw, burnt out already? Pathetic. Looks like we need to work on your stamina more. But this is not the place for exercise.”

“Look at me.” His slender but forceful fingers tilt your head up, making you look into those ocean blue orbs. There is anger present in his eyes, but those emotions are more a mixture of delight and that. His smile had also been replaced by a mocking smirk. “You, trying to leave me? Your sense of humor is...well, let’s just call it unique. Lucky for you, you amused me nonetheless.”

“I know what you’re thinking. How I’m a selfish jerk and you hate me. Why be so ungrateful? You get to live in luxury thanks to me, you know. I am selfish, yes, but look how stupid you are. I know you added something extra in my evening tea, my beloved.”

“Come now, we are going to do some exercises suited for a night like this once we’re back home. It is our one month milestone, after all. You had already given me your gift, it is only fair for you that I do the same.”

Childe is not making a sarcastic remark. The thrill of that chase was the best fun he had in months. And you are going to love his gift too, maybe not right away, but surely sometimes after. 

You have to mentally prepare yourself for the worst as he dragged you back to the prison, hopefully you’ll still be able to walk properly after whatever Childe got in store.

how to confess your love (unsuccessfully)

𐐪𐑂 includes: ganyu

𐐪𐑂 summary: as lovely as she may be, like the stars, you can only watch from afar.

𐐪𐑂 genre(s): pining, unrequited love (implied)

𐐪𐑂 note: maybe if i write for ganyu mihoyo might give us a ganyu rerun

𐐪𐑂 word count: 0.4k

ganyu’s presence makes the flowers grow. her quiet kindness is like the sun’s warmest hug; nor harsh nor overbearing with the blanket that wraps you up and yet still leaves you wanting more. she is a gentle tempest, and you can’t pull away after having a brush with her.

it’s not easy to admit your feelings. there is a little something called shame that comes along, hand in hand, with rejection. zero out of every time you’ve experienced the feeling had a positive outcome, and thus you actively decide against romantic confessions.

(but storms persist, do they not?

when you bottle a storm up without allowing it an exit, it will do nothing but make one for itself. and the blame will be all on you.)

“oh, hello! how nice of you to visit me!” ganyu drops her pen, much too eager to get out of her seat and greet you. her face lights up and consequently brightens your world; her smiles are akin to the twinkling crystals made out of starlight in the broody night sky.

“oh, uh,” you stammer. the spotlight from those ethereal violet eyes makes your palms sweat. you follow up quickly, “yeah and i, uh, brought you this bouquet of qingxins i thought you’d might like.”

she seems to glow even brighter. flowers surround her being. (is there a limit to her cheer?)

“oh!” her laughter must be what you hear at the gates of celestia. “this is wonderful. thank you, please place them in.. err..” she scans her office space, locating an empty vase in no time. her grateful smile makes you feel the rush of butterflies into your stomach tenfold. maybe you brought them in with the flowers.

“please, have a seat, i still have a bit of work to do but—”

you raise your arms in front of yourself, waving your hands desperately in an attempt to stop her, “oh— oh no, i don’t want to bother you while you’re working.”

“ah, i see. that’s okay,” she grins and grabs your hands, thanking you for coming even though you can’t hear her words over the sound of your heart beating out of your chest. the world is a rose-tinted blur set in slow motion as you turn to exit out the door.

you swivel around, adrenaline pumping through your veins. is this the moment? is it alright if you...

“actually, i—” “hm?” ganyu looks up at you from her place at her desk, expectancy in her eyes. (how does she get back to her seat so quickly?)

“no, no,” you jump, “it’s nothing. um, sorry. i’ll leave.”

she smiles with creases in her eyes, and you all but run away after shooting her an awkward one back. there is an empty feeling in your hand that really, really should be filled with hers. but maybe someday...

Lumine and The Goblet of Fire

Word count: roughly 2.7k for this part

disclaimer: first of all, this au was heavily inspired by @majunju 's incredible art! she made chilumi as beauxbatons and durmstrang students and my brain went brrr so i had to write something for them??

both Genshin Impact and Harry Potter are not created by me. However, i took the liberty to mix a lot of concepts in this AU, so have that in mind when reading. 

for sake of plot, lets pretend that Durmstrang is located in Russia. Lumine, Paimon and Aether are the only ones from Beauxbatons, while the rest are from Hogwarts unless mentioned otherwise. All the characters that have adult models, like Jean, Lisa, Kaeya and Diluc are presumed to be adults, with Childe being the only exception. Also, all the characters that use children or teens’ models are students, with a few exceptions like Venti and Scaramouche [mihoyo pls stop giving us confusing ages and body models i never asked you anything]

(please, have in mind that english is like, my third language, if you notice a spelling or grammar error, feel free to message me!)

Act One: Lumine and her stupid impulse control

“I’m going to put my name on it.” Aether broke the silence suddenly

“What...? No! Oh god, I expected that from Paimon, but you’re just as bad as her!”

There were a lot of things that Lumine hated. 

Open shoes. A very specific type of silk-flower based perfume(Aether once tried it because he wanted to impress a girl, but it ended stinking for two weeks straight). History of Magic. Condensed slime— those that Paimon loved, but she couldn’t even see it without being sick—, potions that took more than one single day to brew. But the worst, certainly was—

“C’mon, Lumine! You’re just afraid that you’re going to get your ass kicked in the tournament!”

...when Aether was being dumb. 

“No, I’m not!” She countered quickly, ignoring the way Aether smirked like he knew exactly what buttons to push. Actually, it wasn't that far from reality, if she was being honest. She eyed the paper carelessly torn from his notebook that had his name as if she could burn it only with the power her heavy gaze. “You’re being dumb! Are you deaf or something? DIdn’t you hear them saying that the Triwizard Tournament has a high death count?”

“Paimon is sure it isn’t that bad!” The half-fairy smiled at her, eyes twinkling in greed and mischief. Lumine narrowed her eyes at the way she happily jumped in her steps, staying afloat in air for more time than it was normal to common humans “After all, they're opening it again, right? I’m certain that the ministry has done something to make it safer!”

“You’re the one to talk! You don’t care about anything other than the mora!” Lumine was quick to shut her down, sending a glare that didn’t affect any of the two. In that moment, the three of them entered the hall which had the Goblet of Fire in its full glory, a bunch of Hogwarts students surrounding it like curious birds, eager to know which students were applying for the tournament. 

“Have a bit of faith, wont’ya?” Aether smiled boyishly, flicking his wand from his sleeve and hitting it slightly at the top of his head, also giving a wave to a bunch of ravenclaw girls that awed at his presence. He continued in his confident stride, each step leaving him closer to the Goblet “Arent I the best of our school when it comes to Charms? Besides, I have my beautiful, great and awesome sister which of course, will give her full support and use her full knowledge to—”

“Shut up, you know it's not that what I’m concerned with!” Lumine hissed, grabbing her brother’s wrist and tugging, lowering her voice. In the corner of her eye, she saw the Dumstrang guys eyeing her, Aether and Paimon like wolves, ready to pounce on them. “You heard the rumors, right? Please, don’t tell my you’re that reckless-”

“What rumors?” Paimon squeaked, her eyes going wide for a fraction.

“The Fatui. You know them, right? The Tsaritsa’s pawns.” She whispered, narrowing her golden eyes and not daring to let her guard down when she was in the same room as the Durmstrang and Hogwarts students. “There are rumours that they are at the move. Some say that her personal minions, The Harbingers, are also involved in some dark scheme around Hogwarts.”

“Nah. You’re just being paranoid, there’s no way someone of that caliber would be here" Aether raised his eyebrow and Lumine wanted to tug her hair out in pure frustration. “Besides, it’s not like I'm some helpless dead weight. I know I already said it before, but I’m really confident it’s going to be fine.”

“Aether is right, Paimon thinks you should relax!” The white-haired girl smiled brightly, nodding her head to herself. “Or even better, you could enter the tournament too! It would make our chances of representing Beauxbatons even higher!”

“Don’t you ever listen to me? Why would I—” Before she could complete her nagging, Aether quickly threw his paper into the Goblet, the flames flickering aggressively before consuming his entry. Her mouth fell open in disbelief, but the crowd around them didn’t seem to notice her reaction as they gave a round of applause for her twin.

“What, Lumi? Are you afraid of losing?” He made a point of taunting her with the most infuriating shit-eating grin he had “Or… Maybe you’re not up to the challenge…? Y’know, it’s really okay if you feel too scared to face some bad guys—”

Ah. Right.

Aether knew how much she loathed being underestimated.

“Shut up!”

"Aww, there is no need to be this angry! I'm your big brother, of course I'll know when you feel too scared to put your name on the Goblet! It's okay to feel insecure, and I think it is better for you to not enter as you might not be able to—"

The crowd cheered again as the Goblet of Fire consumed another entry from Beauxbatons Academy.

“Lumi—”

“Shut up, im still mad at you.” 

Aether smiled sheepishly under his sister’s heavy glare and Paimon giggled. Lumine also sent her a heated look, making the half-fairy squeal childishly. 

“Luuuuumi!” Aether whined, making her sigh. “Don’t be mad at me! You were the one who put your name on the Goblet, right?”

“Don’t act like you’re innocent! You know damn well what you did—” She hissed like a annoyed cat. Aether pouted and tried to trap his sister into a hug, but she slapped him away on pure instinct. 

“Chill, chill! At least we’re getting a feast tonight, right? Not like we don’t eat well in any of the other nights, but a guy told me that Hogwarts’s food is really amazing on these special days!” Aether pleaded, the bright grin revealing how amused he was with his sister’s grumpiness. 

“Free food is great, but free great food is even better! There is absolutely no way you can be mad after you eat, right?” Paimon tried, and Lumine let out an even more tired sigh. “Besides, a lot of students applied for Beauxbatons! What are the chances of you being chosen, especially since you don’t actually want to do it?”

“Shut up Paimon, you just jinxed it,” Lumine scolded half heartedly, tucking her notebook under her arm. 

The bunch of Hogwarts students were a handful. Even with the merged classes to accomodate the Beauxbatons and Durmstrand delegations, it seemed like the hosting school’s own students were never going to be used to see them in the classrooms and corridors of the castle. Everywhere they went, their blue uniforms made the crowds stare them down with admiration, suspicion, curiosity or even anger in some cases. 

Aether and her were somehow getting even more stares than the other Beauxbatons students. Her twin shined under the spotlight, offering a gentle smile to the brave girls who tried to talk to him sometimes —how strange it was to see her brother gathering a bunch of fangirls—, but she felt uncomfortable under the attention.

“You’re too tense, Lumi” Her brother chimed, as if he could read her thoughts. His arms were carelessly fold behind his head and he shot her a gentle smile. “No one is going to bite your head off if you smile a bit, right? Just relax!”

“Now, the moment you all have been waiting for...! The Champion Selection!” The Headmaster, Barbatos announced, his voice carrying in the big hall and being able to shush all chatter. With a swoosh of his hands, the lights on the walls dimmed down, leaving the Goblet of Fire as the main attraction.

Lumine felt a shudder in her spine, knowing that despite seeming like a simple gesture, the skill level required to perform a wandless and also wordless spell was higher than everything could even imagine herself doing. Deep inside her gut, the respect she had for the Hogwarts Headmaster was raised to the roof, especially since his appearance was nothing but of a kind and carefree young boy. 

Below the table, her hands were connected in a silent prayer. Her luck couldn’t be that bad, could it?

If everything went well, neither her or Aether would be chosen.

“Mr. Alberich, would you like to do the honors?” Barbatos asked a blue-haired man, who Lumine vaguely recalled being a member of the Ministry of Magic named Kaeya. As he nodded and approached the Goblet, she felt her shoulders getting even more tenser.

The flames flickered aggressively, but Kaeya didn’t seem to be intimidated by it. He slowly extended his hand, the fire spiking suddenly and changeling from blue to a menacing pink as it spat a piece of paper.

“From Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albedo!”

The crowd— majority being from Hogwarts itself, the hosting school— cheered loudly, the most excited ones being from Ravenclaw. A boy dressed in blue rose from his seat, his ash-blonde hair styled in a braid at the back of his head and teal eyes immediately catching Lumine’s attention. He quickly went to the front and was guided by one of the teachers to a backroom, disappearing from everyone’s view. Mr. Alberich waited until the cheers died down to announce the next Champion, the flames shaking as if the own Goblet was impatient. Finally, with a burst of green, another paper flew into his hands

“From Durmstrang Institute, Childe!”

This time was the turn of the students seated at the end of Slytherin’s table to scream, a lot of figures rising at once and making it almost impossible to pinpoint who exactly was Childe. However, Lumine could see how a tall guy with a slim build was receiving some strong pats on his back, his messy ginger hair being attacked by another short guy who was too enthusiastic. His eyes still glinted with pride and excitement, even if the neatness of his red uniform was entirely ruined by his peers.

She clapped politely, lowkey still distressed about the next Champion. She was suddenly startled when the guy, who was definitely Childe as he finally went to the front, made unexpected eye contact with her. His eyes lingered a few seconds more than she would be comfortable to admit, making her even more anxious.

Mr. Alberich approached the Goblet again for the third name. For some reason, Lumine thought that the man was being slow on purpose, or that the Goblet was being too indecisive, as the flames flickered between blue, yellow and orange aggressively for a few seconds. Everyone else seemed to notice this too, a few curious whispers breaking out between the students. Kaeya narrowed his eyes and then, not a second too late, the Goblet spat the last entry.

“From Beauxbatons Academy…”

Her stomach dropped and she thought she would throw up on the spot.

 “...Lumine!”

Aether screamed the loudest, right beside her ears. Paimon came to a close second though, shaking her by her shoulders like a ragdoll as if there wasn't a tomorrow. 

"Lumi! Lumi! What are you waitin' for? Go to the front!" She got up, feeling her stomach do all the kinds of flips and lowkey dizzy. Her head couldn't even register properly the cheers, her mind too busy shouting all the bad words she knew at her mental images of Paimon and her brother. 

She took in a deep inhale, keeping her breath until she was in the front of the whole hall, right in front of the teachers. Lumine saw the Beauxbatons Headmaster’s eyes take her in with slight tension in his slender fingers and she couldn’t help but to feel out of place.

"Mr. Zhongli…" She greeted quietly at the man, his tiny nod being the only thing to indicate his acknowledgment. He quickly led her into the backroom she saw both Champions go before, his brown cape flying elegantly behind him with every step.

"Miss Lumine, what a pleasant surprise… I must admit I didn't expect you to put your name in the Goblet." Zhongli started as a matter of fact, even if his eyebrow had a curious arch, as if expecting her to explain this turn of events.

“Yeah, neither did I, if I’m being honest.” She sighed, her hand wrapping around her stomach to hopefully help with the nausea and anxiousness

“Be assured, I’m sure the Goblet of Fire made an excellent choice for our school.” Zhongli said, his voice acquiring a softer tone, probably noticing how the blonde fidgeted a lot. Lumine clenched her fists, taking a deep breath. The man didn’t say anything else, and both of them reached a room decorated with Hogwarts’ trophies from the many tournaments held before.

She immediately saw Childe in a corner, poking a shiny statue that seemed to react at his mean touches, his eyes shining with some kind of rush and impatience she really didn’t want to explore any further. A tall woman, with elegant white hair that reached at her waist and ice blue eyes, slapped his hand harshly, freeing the poor statue from the Dumstrang’s clutches. Lumine didn’t know who exactly this woman was— It was common knowledge that Durmstrang Institute’s headmaster couldn’t be bored to attend the tournament personally—, but she could assume safely that she was at least a teacher.

With his distraction taken forcefully from him, Childe finally seemed to notice Lumine, turning on his heels with hands on his pockets. The witch felt another chill, incredibly uncomfortable with his heavy gaze analysing every feature, but she prayed to every god that she could at least maintain the stoic features she was quite infamous for. His blue eyes stopped carefully to analyze her face— a fact that she pretended to not notice by looking away—, with a satisfied(?) smirk appearing on his face that screamed bad intentions.

It took more than she would like to admit to pretend she wasn't the least affected by his heavy gaze on the side of her face. Her arms crossed around her face, her hand resting discreetly above the hidden pocket in her blazer that had her wand. Golden eyes searched the room again for another distraction, until they landed on the figure of the ash blonde boy chosen for Hogwarts.

He was pretty, no one could deny that, but even if he had those stupid charming eyes of his, there still was something about him that really threw her off. She couldn't exactly pinpoint it, but Lumine was sure that Albedo had some kind of deep dark secret kept hidden in himself. Was the whole Harbinger thing making her paranoid? 

Before she could answer her own question, Barbatos entered the room with other Hogwarts teached in tow. The three of them— her, Childe and Albedo— came closer to the fireplace where everyone gathered, eyeing the teachers and the Headmaster who stood in front of them in a neutral position, except for mr. Zhongli, who was behind her, and the mysterious woman she supposed was Childe's teacher behind him. Occupying the vacant space, a pretty woman immediately went to stand at Albedo's back. She had light-brown hair and alluring green eyes, but the most iconic feature was her curvy body accentuated by her purple dress.

If she had to guess, she would assume that she was Ravenclaw's house head. Technically, Barbatos had to be a neutral party, as the hosting Headmaster, even if everyone knew his favouritism towards his own school.

"Well, now that we're back here, far from prying eyes, guess I can finally drop the formalities!" The small man suddenly said with a big smile, catching her off guard. In the corner of eye, she saw that Childe had a similar reaction, but Albedo seemed exasperated. "I must say, this year's competition is going to be tough. But I'm sure you three will be able to handle it just fine, hehe!"

Oh god. Was Barbatos like this in real life…? Suddenly, the previous mighty and ruthless image she had of the Headmaster was shattered. All the books talked about him as one of the seven great wizards of the last war, so she expected something more… Aggressive?

"Venti, please." For a greater surprise, Mr. Zhongli seemed used to his attitude, poorly hiding his smile behind a fist.

"Yeah, right. The Triwizard Tournament" He forced a cough, hardening his expression and straightening his posture. "From now on, Mister Childe, Mister Albedo and Miss Lumine will face difficult trials to determine which one of you is the greater wizard. I should also mention that the prize will be eternal glory and ten million mora, of course." 

"We already warned you before, but let me repeat it. If you don't take these challenges seriously, you'll probably be squashed to the ground." Mr. Alberich stated bluntly. 

"Is there a chance of dying?" Childe asked, the way his head tilted indicating that he wasn't asking just because he was scared. 

"There were a few casualties some years before, but this time, the Ministry is making sure to bring some precautionary methods." He answered cooly, his expression not changing the slightest. "That being said, we still stand on the recommendation that you take extreme caution."

He didn't deny it. The fact didn't pass above any of the students' minds, Lumine tensing her shoulders, Childe grinning madly and Albedo pressing his lips.

"Anyway, about the first task," Barbatos took the lead again, a satisfied smirk on his lips. "The three of you will face an ability challenge. In other words, you'll be facing magic combat right from the start."

"Against each other?" Lumine asked, not wanting to fight Childe even in her dreams. He exhaled some mad, maybe sociopath vibes if she looked at it from a certain angle, and she certainly didn't want to test her theory. 

"Nope," Barbatos said easily, tilting his head in fake innocence "Where's the fun in that? I can't say anything else, since it's supposed to be a secret until the trial— Ah, by the way, about the test, it will be on November 24th. You have two weeks to prepare, so have fun!"

Forget every good thing she had thought of him before. He was a Madman. She was surrounded by a bunch of madmans.

Oh dear lord.

C1. Sorrowful Smile

“Kaeya,” I whispered, entering his office.

He was still busy with reports, even in this late at night. And most people call him a slacker, but I wouldn’t call him that. He’s done so much for me, sacrificing himself sometimes. Which is why the subject I was going to bring up would haunt me for as long as I live.

I cleared my throat, standing in front of him. The dim light of the candle shined onto his beautiful, tan skin. And it reminded me of the time he was set on fire while fighting the Pyro Regisvine. He met my gaze, and I could’ve sworn hurt flashed across his pale, blue eyes. 

This is going to be hard, but if I hide it from him any longer, I’m afraid I’ll—

“Oh? What brings you here?” his deep voice entered my ears. 

I swallowed. “I wanted to talk to you.” 

He gave me a distasteful smirk, setting aside his papers as he laid back onto his chair. “I know. And I also know what you’re about to say.”

My nose burned, and I begged myself not to cry. “I’m sorry.” My voice broke.

Kaeya’s smirk faded into a sorrowful smile. “You’re not the first to have abandoned me, you know.”

Damn it, I cursed as a tear slipped from the corner of my eye. 

What do I say? Sorry that your biological father left you? Sorry that your foster father died? Sorry that Diluc tried to kill you? No words I say can help him, and I know that deep down, my betrayal would break him.

“But I am somewhat grateful you left me when I’m at level 80. Some players abandoned me before I even reach level 30, to be honest,” he said and shrugged. 

How could he be so casual? Did we hurt him that he was numb now? 

“Kaeya, I’m really sorry,” I cried. “I-I really am.”

His smile dropped and he stood up, towering over me. “You were ready to give my weapon to MC after you get Eula. And I am sure as hell that you were ready to give Beidou’s claymore to Eula as well.”

I shook my head violently. “N-No, Kaeya please, I—”

He slammed his fist onto the table, causing me to shut my mouth. Then he huffed, clenching his heart. “Funny that you would leave me but keep Amber.”

“She is cute!” I exclaimed.

“And I’m sexy!” he snapped back. 

“Well, so is Eula,” I muttered. 

He remained silent for a while, and I kept my eyes shut, unable to see his face. Then he finally spoke. “This is all Mihoyo’s fault. If I wasn’t a free character, I bet my sexy ass that you would’ve whaled for me like how you whaled for Rosaria.”

“I saved up my primogems,” I mumbled. “I skipped so many banners just to get her so you can have a drinking buddy.”

“And yet, you were willing to drop me off the team the second Eula appeared,” his voice was low. . . and cold.

I hugged my arms, opening my eyes to see him once more. But he was already at the door. And before he left, he turned to me, his sorrowful smile showed just how much he wanted to be loved.

“Goodbye, player. Guess I’ll see you when we fight the Pyro Regisvine for Amber’s ascension materials.”

With that, he left me standing alone in his office. And I wondered if it was the chill of the night, the frost of his vision, or the emptiness I was feeling that had me shivering in cold.

.

.

Hi, thank you for reading. Sorry, Kaeya. But if I don’t get Eula, I guess we can be best friends again, right? . . .Right?

[noro-noro-noro]

anyway bug aside here’s dreams i had during the day yesterday. 1. i adopt razor genshin impact  2. i meet kokomi genshin impact’s VA who is also kokomi at the same time 3. i kill someone in a grocery store  4. i can see ghosts & my fake boyfriend becomes a megalomaniac

first: I was hiking/exploring near a ruined building on top of a mountain with some friends. there was an abandoned playground & I was walking my friend's puppy when it encountered a wild kitten on the other side of the fence. i didn't want the puppy to get attacked so I tried pulling it away, but the kitten followed it. then a mama cat appeared & picked up the kitten. how nice. 

we found razor genshin impact there but as a young kid, so we enticed him out & took care of him & gave him food. flash-forwards to when he was about as old as he is now & we were close buddies. we tried to give him a bath & he disappeared instead to give me a letter he wrote for me, but then government people showed up & we found his mom was a brown haired woman who was forced to give him up bc she & her twin (named Phoebe) had psychic powers & were taken away. she was trying to escape & see him but got caught again. 

razor realized that lady was his mother. we had to find them both inside the abandoned building which was actually a front for a govt lab & I think they both sacrificed themselves to destroy the facility & eradicate that unit. 

i was worried about razor but he gave me his letter, which said something like (but written with bad English the way a kid who doesn't have grasp of language would talk) "hi :) happy birthday! you took care of me sfor so long  I do not feel sad about that mother because I never knew her all she did was make me. you are like my mom. thank you I love you" & this was a huge surprise because when I'd met him he didn't even know how to write!!! I got all emotional & then gave him a big hug & he finally went to go take a bath. 

2: I met her (me from the next dream) & then I was her for a couple minutes so I knew her well-ish. a bunch of college students were chilling in a building & then apparently she was gonna visit fsr. i was by the window so I glanced out & saw her & she was a slightly chubby highschool girl in a white outfit with a skirt & blond hair in a normal ponytail & I waved & immediately felt weird about it since I don't like. know her or care particularly much about kokomi genshin impact. then she came inside & was preparing to be greeted by everyone in the back of the room where me & my friends were sitting. I offered her a yellow origami parrot from my bookbag & she just looked at it & said "cool" & walked away & I was a bit salty about that. anyway while she was talking to everyone, there was some kind of attack of some kind? her security agents made her hide in a wooden box but fortunately I could summon a giant electro wolf like razor could out of nowhere, so I just started beating the shit out of the intruders with a couple other people & she was in the box feeling guilty & shitty that she was afraid & unable yo do anything, & I remembered thinking "damn super lame of mihoyo to make kokomi yet another girl who's obsessed with work & then secretly incompetent". but she's not even out yet. 

3: something about a world where some.people had slight superhuman powers. first I was ?kokomi's voice actor, who in my dream was just like a highschool girl who at the same time was ALSO kokomi genshin impact, except worse at it & unprepared for her duties as divine priestess etc etc. the same person I was in the previous dream. 

anyway i was in some kind of grocery store & Jessie & James from team rocket were performing a musical number in disguise - I remember their hair was hue shifted so Jessie's hair was now lavender & James hair was now blue-green. it was a nice song. there was a little kid on stage with them sitting on a bucket & he had glowing orange eyes. he was just sitting quietly. anyway I was chatting with one of my highschool friends that I haven't spoken to in a while & I wanted to get closer to the stage to see the performance, but one of the cashier's beckoned me over & started being a dick to me because I was wearing my pajama tank top, which is admittedly huge on me & not something I should be wearing in public but it was a dream. so. she told me off in a really ride way like "why don't you go serve those guys & bend over real good to help them? Bet they’d pay extra for the view" & I was like "damn what the hell are you being such a bitch for" & she took out a big square knife? so I used my ability & killed her. what's my ability? well for every step I walk, I bank up a second of slow time so I can activate slow time & be like Barry Allen the fastest man alive & also I can clip through walls & ceilings. so I killed her somehow & clipped into the apartment complex upstairs to gather my wits & pace back & forth to keep charging, but the owner of the apartment showed up & I ended up dashing back into the store to destroy the camera footage that would have shown me talking to her & then me gone with her death, which would probably look pretty suspicious. 

I started to regret my actions & went through a flashback sequence that showed we were pretty good friends originally! so it was fucked up of me to kill her with her own knife? or whatever happened. even though it was self defense. at this point, I was a male coworker maybe 24 years old. i decided I needed to get out of the state & clipped into my car to drive home & gather my stuff. even though I'd destroyed the camera tapes, there were probably witnesses that saw me straight up vanish, so it'd be better not to come here again. the city looked like some kind of rusty cyberpunkish area, like how the slums look in a cyberpunk game except red and oxidized with some neon lights scattered everywhere. anyway I got home, packed my stuff, heard cops in the apartment lobby & became paranoid they were after me so I used my ability again (running low by now) to run out the back wall & start running on all fours over the hills into the natural area outside the city - still rusty red in color..it was nighttime now. i thought I could dive into the ground to hide and I did so & I was excited to be free & out of there! 

then I was that kid from the stage that pulled a "is that what you think? you idiot, you're already dead" type beat. & it turns out that kid had killed me where I stood in the grocery store the second I started to use my ability & he'd absorbed it & this whole escape was my last moments hallucination. i was reduced to ashes on the store floor. the kid was outside in nature where I thought i was. 

turns out this kid was that trope of "ancient evil in a younger form to throw people off" or smth like that. he was trying to absorb other people's abilities to rid the world & had figured out someone with an ability worked at that store. anyway his next step was to bait superhumans into helping him "escape a trap" & then kill them on the spot. unfortunately this ancient evil found out that being tied up & tricking people was a huge turn on for him so every single time that he baited someone he was desperately trying to hide a boner & he would inevitably always bust a nut once the hero with abilities was dead. i didn't particularly like this very much & the dream zoomed out to a discord call where you could vote people off similar to AMOGUS!!!!! & it was my friend's friends in the call. they all voted for me & I was relieved since that ancient evil horny kid was gone, so I explained it all to them & they were like huh..hmm. interesting. weird tho & I was like yeah. 

4: i could see ghosts & had higher exorcism window than my friend. howber, she didn't know this. she introduced me to this dude she was dating/interested in? he lived with his mom & younger brother in a small house in the middle of a field surrounded by forest. he owned horses & kind of acted like a typical chad. there was a bear? in the forest that would attack the house every day. it seemed magical or to be magically driven enraged & extra huge & evil tm. it almost shattered a window when she took me with her to visit this guy. 

my friend gained some influence in that community & when a hunt was sent out to catch the bear, she was in charge. we found a strange tunnel bored directly through solid stone that had black seeping smears from strange ruins & it led to ??something??. not the bear den though. something else weird. the tunnel went through rock into another forest area but everything was gray/black/ashy/rotten/dead/etc & coated in a thick layer of dust. there might have been a pit. there were stone stairs like an amphitheater that we were all sitting on while someone? maybe investigated the ?pit?. there were ghosts here & i made eye contact with them to let them know I could see them. one was a younger kid maybe 10-14. asian, with a weird kind of bowl cut. my friend was sitting next to me chatting with some.other friends, but she wasn't really my friend anymore she was starting to turn into a weird guy with a superiority complex because he could see only 1-3 level ghosts while I could see the full spectrum. the weird tunnel was his doing. his friends made an insensitive joke about something & the asian ghost (now visible & appearing human) seemed really upset, so I offered him a hug. 

later my "friend" - now fully a guy whose face I can't remember - showed me the best den in the forest & every day it was constricted further by this giant black slick thorny vine he had asked the pit entity to summon, so he was the one driving the bear to attack. i was stronger than him magically but he had all the political? power. so even if I got rid of him it would not stop. so when he asked me out I said yes so I could sabotage him from the inside. 

anyway then there was a bit of a time skip & he controlled everything now. the people lived in fear & hated of him & would openly shit talk him to his face. my friends saw me with him & insulted me too & I wanted to explain I was going to sabotage his efforts magically but I couldn't risk giving it away. they pushed me into an ice cold lake since it was snowing now & the guy came & took me home. he had no redeeming features but he did have a nice mansion with a huge bubble bath so I warmed up fast. while in the bath I started my scheming & sent like an eye vision to search through his office. 

next dream: I know there was one but it literally just slipped away.so that’s all
