About Seelies, their Palaces in the Dark Sea & how they're Probably Related to Andrius (TL;DR)

Their palaces are in the Dark Sea, where The Seven have no jurisdiction. They brought wisdom to mankind, & probably so to other entities like the Andrius, "the Wolf the North".

Their palaces are in the Dark Sea, & Enkanomiya is also exactly there, but there was no Seelie civilization there; there were just humans from the Unified Civilization as far as we know. It's quite interesting that the Seelie courts are eroded by the time all around Teyvat, but in Enkanomiya they aren't.

For a while, I used to think that the ruins that are around all Teyvat's surface, were the architecture of the Seelies, but this isn't the case at all bc according to the book "A Drunkard's Tale" the Seelie palaces are in the Dark Sea.

And now that we're talking about the Dark Sea and the "A Drunkard's Tale", there's smth pretty interesting I'd like to mention about...Columbina.

In "A Drunkard's Tale" Vol. 3 we learn the tale about a lone wolf, that once wandered in the a "cruel" wasteland; a place that seems to be far beyond the dominion of Celestia, with the remains of fallen gods and others that escaped there after the archon war, (ex. Orobashi).

According to the tale, once the lone wolf passed by a palace where he heard music. Within there, he found a "fair maiden" using an instrument, with a skin "ashen white" & playing a "long-forgotten and mournful melody".

"The chirping of insects on a long-gone autumn night is the chorus of exiles, singing mankind's most ancient song as they live out their plight..." she sang.

"Stripped of all that the body once held close and the soul once held dear, song and memories are all that now remain of yesteryear."

"The last singers, the first Seelie, they played their final tune in the halls of angels."

The Seelies in the area approached the pale white maiden to listen to her music. The wolf asked about the song to the maiden, and the maiden replied "A song of the Seelie".

"Long, long ago, we wrote this song for the human savages. Yet now, we sing it to mourn our own fate."

This maiden was clearly a Seelie who seems to still maintain her human form, & we're told that Andrius received his powers from an ancient god...could this god be the Seelie from the tale? he has a very icy windy ghostly anemo form, just like Seelies.

The twitter user named @nanbeidou7 also talked about this before me.

Here's a link to a thread she did about the topic.

Link:

I'd like to also talk about a possible mention of a Seelie (maybe even Columbina, asuming that she's a Seelie), in the artifact set "Adventurer" in the "Plume of Death", there's a mention of an adventurer meeting a "girl so beautiful" that even her appearance felt surreal.

And do you all know what else did the girl had? that's right! a cluster of feathers!! the similarities are too coincidental tbh...but who knows! anyone in Teyvat could be incredibly beautiful girl with a cluster of feathers, right?... right??

here me out on this, afab Scara, reader eating him out while praying, since you mentioned in your 'how easy to bed each of the scara eras' that he likes being worshipped I think it'd be pretty interesting.

TO- be worshipped is to be loved.

...you pray daily, without fail you pray to your god, in a place..made best for prayer...credits [Oishru] on X

Hinted AFAB scaramouche though it's not clearly described, gn neutral reader, as reader's gender is not hinted to! Though if you squint its kinda hinted to the fact that the reader is in the church very often

So it can be perceived as nun!reader, but you can also take it as priest!reader

...scaramouche...

Wanderer wouldn't like to be worshipped as much as his past self, scaramouche would.

He finds it embarrassing to part his legs for you; in order for him to feel worshipped, he needs to feel above you, at least in the beginning. His back is cushioned by soft pillows as he tugs in your hair trying to ground himself in some way,

Tugging fists fulls he can't decide whether to pull you into the heat spreading through him or to push you away, it's too much!

And your soft, ever so sweet words- a contrast to your harsh tongue which eats him raw, a contrast to even his own harsh grip. But you never say anything. You don't complain about the scratch marks or the fist full of your hair that he pulls out

Nor about the blood that seeps from any part of you that he holds on to, his grip is never yielding, afraid that if he lets go, you'll go too.

But those thoughts get buried the longer the night goes on, spasms of his body shaking at every touch every lick every tug. His body presses against the statue of the archon, the stone carved to perfection. His gaze sometimes moved behind you to the church doors wondering what the nuns would think of the sacrilegious scene before them.

Tears as he listens to your murmur your face burned deep within him sending vibrations up his spine. Murmurs, more like prayers. The ones which would be considered holy, and innocent if not for where and how you were exactly praying.

His head rocked back and forth as if nodding in agreement to whatever you said, as if he himself would make it come true. Squirting onto your face as you drank him up like holy water,

You'll look up every once in a while, mouth dripping as you would ask him to fulfil your prayers "if- hah, if you bring me pleasure- then- I'll accept whatever prayer you wish for- AH-"

He's never felt this high, this above. Here you are at a place of worship- worshipping him. Your archon, your god. The one that he couldn't be.

Sweet slick drips down the hard stone of the statue as his legs are spread on top of either side of your shoulder. "Wh- ah mhm- am- I- I" barely a whisper, but you hear every oracle from your dear, "my archon." And with a pop of your lips as you let go of the meal that you were latched onto "my god."

That alone brings him over the edge, body slumping against the stone as tears fall like endless waterfalls. Yours, that's what he is.

DANCE OF FLOWERS!

repost of one of my older fics that i had saved somewhere. I was and still am really proud of this fic, i still like it a lot.

Upon hearing about you, The Tsaritsa found herself eager to find out more. To see you with her own eyes. That’s why she finds herself in Monstad for once. She doesn’t want to be here, of course, but you’re more important than any of those she holds in contempt.

Laughter sounded from a crowded area just up ahead, and she went towards it. She listened to the tune playing as successfully weaved herself to the front of the crowd.

The laughter and music grew louder and she couldn’t help but watched in awe as you twirled yourself and the child you held onto, smile wide on your face. Your face flush red from happiness. This look was what she liked best on you. Happiness suited you better than the benevolent neutrality that people made you famous for.

Flowers were weaved into your hair, resembling the ones that bloomed all throughout teyvat. Flowers seemed to blood in her stomach as well as she stared at you, completely mesmerized.

You locked eyes with her and smiled at her, head tilting to the side before letting go of Klee’s hands and heading towards her. “Dance with me.” You spoke out, smiling happily at her without a single trace of fear as you grabbed her hands. They were cold, like ice, but you didn’t mind.

“Ah.” She spoke out finally, looking down at you and let you drag her out. She easily followed your footsteps and twirled you around without having to be told.

Venti watched closely while still playing the tune with ease. He was a bard after all. He knew why she was there and he didn’t want her hurting their precious creator, so he made sure to keep an eye on them.

“You dance really well, my lady.” You beamed at her as you held onto her hands, cheeks flushed as you still danced to the song that was nearing it’s end. “It was my honor to dance with you.” You smiled as you looked up and all kind of petals rained down upon the surrounding people.

You stepped back, letting go of her hands and reconnecting with Klee before turning around and heading off with Klee and Venti in tow.

She searched for you for weeks afterwards but never found you, so she went back to Schneznaya with hope that you may get her gifts and letters.

Every single gift and letter she sent was intercepted by one of the acolytes, except for a music box.

A beautifully crafted music box with the same tune that the two of you had danced to, and on top where the figurine usually was, sat you. Beautiful, kind, happy you with petals drifting around. It was a beautiful gift. One you fawned over to everyone that would listen.

“Your Grace....” Zhongli glanced at your pouting lips before his eyes drifted over to your puffed out cheeks and up to your furrowed eyebrows. “Please understand, it’s dangerous. We only wish to keep you safe.”

“Why would she hurt me? She’s been sending me gifts and letters! Which you always discarded Zhongli!” You crossed your arms, upset at the actions they took.

Zhongli’s face softened as he came closer to you and grasped at your hand so that he might press a kiss to it. “I’m sorry. I just want to protect you. I’m your loyal acolyte. I wish only good things to come your way. I should have consulted you first, my creator.”

Your face softened and a sigh came from your lips as you gazed at him. “I can never stay mad at you.... But!” You added on as his face brightened. “I want to meet with her! She sent an invitation to have tea with her in her palace! I’ll take Aether and Lumine! I’ll be safe so please Zhongli!!!” You pleaded with him, grasping at his hand, desperate for his approval.

You knew they only did these things to protect you, to protect your happiness so you always let it slide but you wanted to see her again so badly! You couldn’t stop playing the music box and listening to it with longing.

Venti sighed from the doorway before making his way into the room. “C’mon Zhongli! It’s the Honorary Knight and Lumine is just as capable! They’ll be perfectly safe. Let them have a little fun.”

“Alright.” He sighed as he agreed, making you jump for joy and hug him tight, repeatedly thanking him.

You were so happy! You had been waiting so long to see her again. Ever since that dance, you hadn’t been able to get her off of your mind. And now, you were going to have tea with her in Schneznaya. Lumine and Aether would be there too but you knew they wouldn’t cause any trouble, they were good people.

Oh, you couldn’t wait!

And that led you to where you were right now! In front of the Zapolyarny Palace with the twins at your sides and a bouquet of red carnations in your hands.

“You have to be on your best behavior, okay? No matter how much someone aggravates you. The Tsaritsa has been very kind to allow us to visit, so we must be kind in return.” You lectured them, sternly.

Lumine nodded her head and nudged Aether to the same. “We’ll make sure to be civil no matter who it is, right Aether?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry so much your grace. We’ll be role models!” Aether pumped his fist in the air with Paimon at his side watching in suspicious silence.

“Paimon too, right?” You smiled at the floating girl and she pouted before nodded reluctantly.

“Paimon will be nice.”

A snort cut through the silence as Scaramouche appeared in front of them. “Surprised to see you three, survival must be easy for you huh?” He smiled mockingly at them before it turned sincere once he turned to you and bowed. “Your Divine Grace, The Tsaritsa sent me to guide you to the tea room.”

“Thank you.” You smiled at him and ushered your three companions to follow as you knew they disliked Scaramouche and you knew why but you aimed to have a peaceful tea time with The Tsaritsa!

“You’ve come.” Once she saw you, the Tsaritsa smiled at you, the corners of her eyes crinkling up with it. “I thought you wouldn’t, you never responded to any of my letters....”

You rubbed the back of your neck with a hand. “Ah, yes. The letters and gifts except the music box and the letter than came with it were all not given to me.” You spoke and upon seeing the Tsaritsa’s rising anger, hurried to soothe her. “They’re just trying to protect me. Will you forgive them this once?” You pleaded with her.

“If it’s what you wish...” She conceded, not wanting to go against your will.

“I... um.... I didn’t know what kind of flowers you like so I made red carnations for you.” You handed the bouquet over to her and she smiled down at it.

“You are much too kind, come. Let’s have tea together. Scaramouche, lead the twins and their companion towards the other table.” She commanded and you smiled at the three companions.

Lumine frowned but bit her tongue. You wanted them to be on their best behavior. Even if it means being nice to....ugh..... Scaramouche, she’ll do it. For you.

Aether was working hard to hold himself back, reminding himself that this was what you wanted.

“Sorry Travellers, heard you were coming and made sure you wouldn’t have too many options. Must hurt your head to think all the time, huh?” Scaramouche remarked as he smirked and walked forward.

Aether wondered if it was too late to stop being nice to that prick.

Meanwhile, with you and the Tsaritsa, you both were chatting happily with each other.

“Thank you for the music box. It was lovely.” Hands clutched at the teacup in your hands as you smiled down at the contents in the cup.

“I’m glad you liked it, you left an impression on me. I wanted to see you again.” She spoke out as she reached out her hand and brushed her thumb along your cheekbone. “I’m happy you came to see me.”

Red filled your cheeks and you nodded fervently. “M-Me too! I wanted to see you too......”

You bit into one of the tea cakes, a pink one. “Mmm!” You made a sound of approval as you swallowed it. “So good!” You spoke before taking a sip of your tea. "I’ve never had a tea cake that tasted so good before.”

The Tsaritsa watched you with a fond look on her face as she pulled back her hand and grabbed the white chocolate tea cake grabbed a piece of it with her fork. “Let me food you.” She insisted and you nodded eagerly, opening your mouth.

She fed it to you and you made another sound of approval. “This one is good too!” You looked so happy and she couldn’t help herself but to learn forward and press a kiss to your lips.

A crash sounded somewhere behind you and you turned bright red as you hid your face. “My lady! W-W-W-” You couldn’t form a response to what had just happened.

My first kiss!

You could have sworn you heard Scaramouche cackling behind you as Lumine whispered at Aether to calm down.

Hello, i hope you have a great day!

about the event, may i ask for a 🌼 for platonic yandere diluc. 🦋 please~~

Title: Clinging

Character(s): Diluc (Genshin Impact)

Summary: Diluc found you in the forest running away from hilichurls after taking you in his arms he saw your blood was not red but gold.

Warnings/tags: Platonic yandere, Fem!reader (child!reader), Sagau; gold blood au

[ - A little present~! Event - Closed - ]

The sounds of your snore were small yet enough to bring Diluc out of his focus on the documents. Looking down to see you in his lap sleeping peacefully Diluc felt a sort of comfort. Touching your hair, lightly combing the strands so as not to wake you up.

He had found you lost and alone in the forest crying for help in fear of the hilichurls that were after you. The sounds the hilichurls made scared you as you continued to run from them with tears in your eyes and snot. Diluc was around there that time when he heard your screams. He planned on saving you grabbing you on the waist his weapon out. But had to pause when the hilichurls stopped, their behavior different than before as if checking to make sure you were okay and examine him. They left before Diluc could take another step as if... they were sure that you would be in good hands.

It was odd, to say the least, but his thought turned to you when he could hear sniffles and small hands clinging to his jacket.

He will investigate those hilichurls later as for now he had to make sure the little child he found was okay.

A small girl, you were crying in his arms calling out for your parents but was just you and him. Diluc never saw you before, well at least never in Monstade.... protecting the citizens he would have noticed you at one point or another.

Yet his heart only seems to drop when he saw a small cut on your arm where red blood was supposed to flow instead was gold in color. The wind howled as Diluc quickly took you back to the dawn winery. Too dangerous he thought for you to be here in the middle of nowhere focused on his goal that he must bring you somewhere safe.

Diluc knew many stories where there once was a ruler loved by nature and creatures of all. That their touch was healing and her powers strong. She was bowed and was of higher rank than those of archons. But she disappeared in the end, many different stories were told of her end but all stories told the sadness and anguish.

Diluc didn't know what you were yet maybe it was some sort of magic, but as how one was familiar with their own vision element even tho it was his first time meeting you Diluc was so sure of who you were.

And the dangers that will come with you.

The world was unkind to a child giving you so much that what was supposed to be your blade can be turned against you. You can be worshipped for your blood but if you fell into the hands of another with a more dark intention he was sure it would be either the end of Teyvat or the end for you.

Diluc wasn't fond of children, he wasn't really sure what to do with them. To be honest, he didn't know what to do with you as you were a child and it wasn't like he could just magically become experienced with them and like them... but you were another situation altogether. You were not someone he could just toss to the knights of Favonious Knights when he didn't even trust them that much.

So here you were in his home. In his arms, you cling unwilling to let go. You cried when Adelinde tried to take you away from him, the head housemaid glanced at Diluc silently telling him to be patient and take care of you for a while.

It was a struggle when you didn't eat at all, stuck to Diluc in fear that monsters would show up again when you were alone without him. He had to pull you away from his jacket sitting you down on his lap as Adeline told him to feed you. You ate a bit that time when he told you that if you really want to continue to stay here you would have to eat. The first bite and he saw your eyes sparkle finding the food delicious. Diluc continued to feed you because even tho you hurriedly ate your hands still cling to his jacket again.

Diluc honestly didn't know what to do when you continued to cling to him having a hard time doing what he usually does he had no choice but to stay. He had no choice really when you cried yourself to the point your voice went raw because he had gone out to protect Monstade at night.

It took some time... a few days really. You didn't let go of him at all but slowly you started to trust people around you, your started to let go of Diluc's jacket when Adeline called you. Diluc was able to go out with his mask late at night but it seems that you would always notice when he comes back. Waking up when he was near and heading down to greet him.

"How do you know that I am near?"

"I don't know... I just woke up..." It was an odd answer there was definitely more to it than that. Diluc didn't know what it was but was also something he realize you didn't either. He didn't ask again preferring to quickly change and go to sleep with you right beside him clinging to his shirt.

He had grown so used to you, so quickly and so soon. He wondered if this was the actual feeling of taking care of a child. Things he did he wondered what his own father had thought while doing when he was your age. He came to cherish you, yet there was this worry because your blood was gold you were different from him... and from the archons themselves... if words get out that a child's blood was gold many would search for you and not all were kind and just merely curious.

Diluc patted your hair combing it with his fingers. You didn't wake up from his lap but whined a little at his disturbance. You try to get closer to him in your sleep finding comfort in his warmth.

Diluc was worried about the future. But he was sure that he would do everything to keep you safe. Even if it meant to keep you a secret from the world, even if it meant you will have to stay by his side even when you didn't want to.

He will keep you safe and even if a few knew who you were the people he trusts would never get the chance to take you away from him and the people who he didn't trust he would make it so they would not be able to spread the word about you.

You belong here after all and nowhere else. He would protect you.

♥How you met them♥

↪Characters: Dottore, Diluc, Childe, Albedo, Bennett.

↪Synopsis: Yeah basically just how you met them haha ヽ⁠(⁠｡⁠◕u◕⁠｡⁠)/

↪Note: First of all, i apologize if this wouldn't make sense a little bit. This is just for fun, nothing serious. Just my opinion. Alright, enjoy!

★Dottore★

This guy.. hm.. i think, as a test subject. In my opinion, you'd be his test subject. At first he won't pay much attention to you, he'll just use you for experiments. But it seemed like you've caught his interest. Not only that you survived every experiments when most of the other subjects don't, you're also a "smart talker" in his opinion. He finds it fascinating how you're not that scared of him also. So he decided to keep you as a pet or something like that. He tried to do less and less experiments on you tho. Just, don't get him mad or you'll get back as a lab rat.

★Diluc★

Ah, Diluc. As we all know, he works at his bar. So i think it all starts when you went to his bar. You had a rough day, so you decided to try drinking. Ever since you stepped in, Diluc had his eyes only at you. You never really drink before so you're not really aware about anything it'll feel and would happen. Some time later you got carried away and drank too many. It was late, you paid Diluc and got up from your seat. Your head was spinning and Diluc (magically) decided to let you stay at his house for a night because he's scared you won't make it home safely.

★Childe★

My, my.. as for him.. i think it'll be when he's at Snezhnaya and playing with his brother. They were playing hide and seek when Childe lost Teucer. He went all panic and searched everywhere. Not long later, he saw Teucer with you. He came closer and Teucer ran to him. Teucer told everything, from how you tried to help find his brother, how you're so kind and sweet to Teucer, and everything. Teucer wanted to see you more so Childe decided to keep in touch. Not only because you helped Teucer find him, he also thinks you're pretty cute.

★Albedo★

Albedo just finished his experiments on the dragonspine and wanted to find Klee. But instead of seeing Klee getting scolded by Jean for bombing the fishes (again), he saw Klee playing with a young woman. He kept his distance and watched for a while. He smiled when he saw Klee so attached and happy when she's with you. When he came closer, he asked for your name and thanked you for being around Klee so she won't bomb fishes again. After that, you guys kept seeing eachother and spend time. Of course, he catches feelings because yes (oops)

★Bennett★

It was raining at monstad, so you decided to search for shelter. You put your basket on your head to cover it from the rain while you search. Moments later, you found a small abandoned house nearby and decided to shelter there. To your suprise, you saw there's a boy inside. You gasp in shock and apologized. As you were about to leave, Bennett told you to stay and he wouldn't mind some company. Also because he's kind of scared on being alone in the rain. You sat across him and had a conversation together. Some time later, the rain stopped. You went out and smiled at him, saying that it was nice to meet him. You opened your basked and gave him a small box of foods as a thank you. He got really exited and waved as you left. And of course, just when you're gone, he accidentally dropped the box and making all of the foods fell to the ground. •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀ poor Bennett.

♥Alright!

Thank you so much for reading this, and again, i apologize if there's any mistakes. Goodbye and i hope you have a nice day.

꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡!

2 A wonderful proposition

✦ Smut Warning ✦

˚. 　 　✦　　.　　‧˚₊⋅ ୨୧ ⋅₊˚‧. 　 ˚　.　　°　　　 .

-Diluc... I've heard a lot about you in my travels- you said with a smile

-OH I also forgot to introduce myself, I'm y/n-You said with a slight blush on your face

-y/n... Such a beautiful name!

-Thank you!! - you said, blushing treatment, you don't want to show it

-Would you like to show you around the Monstad? - He said with a slight blush, avoiding eye contact.

-yes, that would be great! - you said enthusiastically.

Diluc blushed even more. He smiled at you.

-So you're a traveler?

-yes-you said with smile on your face

-Do you have a place to stay?

Suddenly, your smile disappeared from your face. Where to stay! You didn't think of that!

-No...

He looked at you and laughed lightly

-Hey! It's not funny! - you showed fake anger

-If you want, you can stay in my vinery. He said with a slight smile

TO STAY AT HIS VINERY WOULD BE GREAT! With a surprised look on your face, you looked at him, thinking about how wonderful that would be.

-Of course, if it doesn't bother you... I know we don't known each other for a long time, so I won't be surprised if you refuse.

You got up abruptly from your chair. Diluc was terribly surprised

-THAT WOULD BE GREAT!! - You shouted at the whole winery.

Diluc was looking at you, he was terribly surprised and ashamed. He blushes and stared at you.

-You can sit down now- he said embarrassed

Then he led you to the room, showed you where the bathroom was, gave you a clean towel. Then you two sat down on the bed.

-Tomorrow morning I can guide you around mondstadt and then we can practice with swords, it will be useful for you on your travels.

-That would be great! - you said with smile

He smiled at you. You blushed looking at him, so you wanted to avoid eye contact with him. You turned your head abruptly. He looked at you with a look of surprise on his face.

-I'll leave you now, rest because it's late, and you're probably tired of the journey. He said with a slight smile

-mhm - You replied with a blush and a smile.

Diluc left the room. You lay down on the bed and kept thinking about him, blushing a lot.

You wanted to do something...

-WHAT AM I THINKING ABOUT, GET A GRIP ON Y/N!!

You stared at the ceiling for a long time. You looked at your hands... Without thinking, you unzipped the fly in your pants and pulled them down. What am I doing.. You thought, but you continued. You couldn't stop thinking about him. About his beautiful red eyes, shiny hair and wonderful smile. You started rubbing your pussy. It was a wonderful feeling, you imagined what it would look like if you had sex with him. You rubbed harder and harder. You kept wondering why you were doing it, but you felt like you were in a trance, it was so wonderful, you imagined his face, you felt like he was doing it. You put one finger in. You felt wonderful. You imagined Diluc putting his long fingers inside you. You moved it up and down, then you put your second finger in. You thought you were going to die of how good you were. You were still imagining Diluc, imagined him doing it. You knew you were about to and thinking about Diluc made you want to do it even more. You had an orgasm. Your fingers were all wet and you kept thinking about him, it felt so good to you. You lay on the bed for a while and then went to wash yourself. You were tired, so you decided to go to bed, wanted to get some sleep so that you would have the strength to train tomorrow. You fell asleep thinking about Diluc all the time.

A Gentleman's Gamble

💔🎯Diluc X Drunk! Reader

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ 0 ♥(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ 0 ♥(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ 0 ♥(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥

The dawn winery grew warm as the night approached. The summer moths buzzed around yellow flames, their erratic wings sending dancing shadows across the walls of the study. Diluc swatted one away before returning to his paperwork. Although Elzer did most of the accounting and dealings, in strange ways running through them brought him peace. Exactly the kind he needed before bed. It had become a routine for him now, the numbers preparing him for bed the way a bedtime story does to a child.

He brushed past the last page and placed his quill down with a sigh. There were a ton of things to do tomorrow, he had to meet jean with regards to the Ruins at Stormterror’s lair he had come across, and get the adventurers guild to send someone with the carts going to Liyue. The hillichurs were causing a riot, they seemed to be everywhere, the gulli plains, building towers too close to Monstad. They were even splattered across springvale in small groups, behaving more erratic than ever. A grimness settled over his features as he leaned back into the chair. It was no wonder the doing of the Abyss order. But couldn’t seem to figure out their next move. Although them scattering hillichurls was a clear attempt at distracting the knights and the guild from the actual attack, without any leads all he could do is wait in anticipation until the calamity actually struck.

The darkness of the room bore down on him as he pondered over it. Finally standing up, he shook his head trying to concentrate on the present task at hand. Sleeping.

Diluc lived his life in a prim systematic way. At a very early age, he had mastered the art of looking after himself, quite like the art of brewing wine. He had such command over himself that his mannerisms, the faintest of gestures he made towards people, were always intentional. It had gotten him quite a courtly reputation. He wasn’t unaware of all the women and men that swooned over him in Monstad, so he kept his distance always. Nothing but polite smiles and warm words, kind but formal. Ever since he had left the knights, he had made sure he was the one who pulled the reigns of his life. He had a calculated, rational recipe for not only his wine but also to life.

Unfortunately, for Diluc, no matter how rationally he tried to live his life, something erratic would always find a way to weasel in. Quite like the wagon that was striding towards dawn winery right now. Diluc blissfully unaware of the tornado hurling at him was changing out of his day clothes. He pulled the heavy jacket off and hung it on the rack, long fingers curling to loosen the tie around his neck.

As he unbuckled the straps on his waistcoat, a faint commotion rumbled downstairs. He brushed it off at once, probably Adelainde telling off someone. But then the rumble came again. This time louder, stubbornly making its presence known. As he listened, there was a sudden cluster of raised voices followed by a loud splintering noise. That was his cue to walk down, God if it was Kaeya again-

The commotion just grew louder, elusive notorious footsteps up the stairs followed by a gaggle of haphazard ones behind.

“Diluc~” a familiar voice called out. Diluc pulled the door to his chambers open, before the master of the house could completely understand the situation open and a blur of blue clothes crash-hugged into him. Diluc almost lost his foothold stumbling a few steps back.

Your skin was feverishly warm, and the faint smell of dandelion wine clung to your hair. You buried your face in his chest sighing contently. A sudden blush reddened his cheeks, he looked past you to see both Adelinde and Elzer who had apparently chased you up, for some explanation. Adelininde was very red in her face, eyes wide as if she had seen a ghost, Elzer more composed embarrassingly holding your shoes.

Adelinde looked aghast, “You-“ she gasped out, “You just dragged that-” mid sentence she turned eyes towards Diluc, “They just bought that- that thing with them, that godawful creature!”

Diluc frowned, what now?

There was a grumble of strange noises downstairs as if someone wanted its presence known. Diluc’s eyes widened as he realized just what it was.

“You bought a hillichurl?’

You pouted, “Venti passed out so quickly! I needed company” you said averting your eyes, “So I grabbed one.”

“You what!?”

You shuffled your feet like a toddler being told off, “It was walking around close to the city walls, so I just took it.”

Diluc was having a hard time wrapping his head around all of this. “How did you even get it inside city walls? Who let you drag it in the tavern?!” he demanded; he had his reservations against the Knights but this level of incompetency was an all-time low.

“Kaeya did!” you chirped. “He said it was hilarious and even offered one of Lisa’s dresses-

Diluc groaned internally, that bastard of course it was him. He shook his head, “But what in the world did you need Lisa’s dresses for?”

“Well-uh… It’s all dressed up Master Diluc.” Elzer explained through a cough. Blessed Archons. Diluc walked out of his chamber to the end of the corridor, You sheepishly following behind.

Sure enough, as he looked down, at the bottom of his staircase sat a very battered up hillichurl, dressed in a bright violet frock and a humongous witch hat.

Diluc pressed his fingers into his temple, trying to make sense of it all. You had gotten drunk at the tavern, potentially left the half-dead bard there, and wandered around in the dark to find a hillichurl to keep company. Then you had dressed it up as Lisa and sneaked it inside Monstad only to drag it to the tavern and get It drunk too. Kaeya encouraging all of this was the least of his worries right now.

“Elzer.” He said finally, “Please get the hillichurl out of here, just leave it outside Springvale and it’ll wander back to where ever it came from once it is… uh.. Sober.”

He turned to the head maid, “Bring a glass of lemon water to my chambers please Adelinde.”

“And you,” Diluc said finally looking at the storm that had unleashed itself at dawn winery. You pulled your doe eyes to meet him and batted your eyelashes innocently. He cupped your face, fingers squishing your cheeks, "let's get you sobered up."

"Luc" you tried again, "I don't want to be sobered up I want youuu~~~" you whined. Diluc felt himself sigh as his fingers trailed down your arms. “Drink the water.” He told you pulling away.

No matter how much he wanted to cuddle, he had to get your sorry ass sobered up first. You groaned at his words, but took the glass of water in your hands anyways. Plopping down on the bed stiffly, you frowned trying to move your shoulders. You were wearing a leather harness, laced up across your chest. All of a sudden, the garment felt too stuffy. You tugged at the laces, looking up at him.

“Take it off.”

Diluc felt his eyes widen, “p-pardon?”

“It's uncomfortable,” you said, Diluc spluttered, his face turning as red as his hair.

“Oh come on.” you urged, giving the blue ribbon that held it together with a sad tug, "I'll drink the water once it's off." you supplied. Diluc gave you a knowing look, crimson eyes seeing through your weak attempts at enticing him.

"Fine," He sighed giving in, he placed his hands on your torso pulling you close, "But only because I want you to be comfortable."

You grinned at him, "yay!" the haziness in your eyes and the red undertone against your skin proved to him that you were still intoxicated. His long fingers worked on the azure straps diligently, he could see how deep your blush went as your chest rose and fell. The inner was flimsy and made of linen, hardly covering anything. He leaned in for the final strap and you kissed his nose sweetly.

"hmm?" he contested, not pulling away as you continued babbling drunkenly, " Luc~ you're warm~".

You chuckled against him and Diluc felt himself melt, he snuck a quick kiss to your cheek and then another to the brow. You grinned against him cupping his face, thumbs brushing over his cheekbones. Your fingers trailed up his neck, touching his ears lightly before burying them in his hair.

“Want to pull it free?” He asked, your eyes glistening warmly, “Can I?” He gave you a soft nod. Your fingers found the band that held his auburn locks together and you tugged it lightly easily pulling them free. They fell around his face like waves on a deep red ocean. You slung your arms around his neck, pulling yourself closer to him. You felt his arms snake down, palms pressed flush against your back, closing the space between you two. Your mouth left soft kisses along his jaw, feeling the warmth of his blush through his skin. He laughed against your hair nuzzling into your warmth.

“You’re so pretty.” you murmured against him, teeth grazing at his skin teasingly. Diluc felt the warmth spread through his body, blood rushing to his core as your hands caressed down from his neck to the tonearms and over his torso. Diluc suppressed a groan, he hated how easily you could make him a flustered mesṣ. As your mouth found his, he let your existence consume him for that moment.

He hated alcohol, but he wanted to get drunk on the lingering taste of wine on your tongue. Your fingers danced down to the edge of his waistcoat giving it a meaningful tug.

Your eyes were glazed looking at him so hopefully, "come to bed~"

He hummed against your ear, “Yes,” he admitted, “But separately. You’re still drunk.”

You groaned in defeat, pouting like a toddler. You plopped down on his mattress arms crossed, “I hate you.” You said finally, embarrassed at how your advances had no effect. Diluc couldn’t help but laugh, he cupped your face, kissing your forehead hard, “After all, it's of no use if you can’t remember all the things I would do to you, is it?”

“So unfair.” You mumbled, there was really no breaking this gentleman, and you might just owe Kaeya a full lunch at good hunter for losing the bet.

🎀 sacrifices • childe x reader

A/N: i finally decided to start writing regularly again and i think i'll take requests. anyways, sorry if it's not as good, i'm still getting used to writing again 💖

Warnings: cursing? lol yandere if you squint (idk is this classified as yandere?), childe is a warning by himself tbh. plz let me know if i need to add anything else <3

You often enjoyed trailing through the bright, freeing fields of Springvale. You'd grown acquainted with quite a few people who lived there— one in particular, a bright haired girl with ashy gray eyes. She would get quite excited to see you, as you seldom visited the cheerful town. You had considered permanently moving to Monstad, as the acting grand master of the knights of favonius had taken an interest in your skills with an electro vision. Though had no issues with the nation per se, you simply failed to see a future with the citizens of Monstad. You rarely ever stayed in one place for more than 6 months because you'd rather experience changes of scenery often. It was simply your mode of living.

"[Name]!" a sweet voice cooed, running towards you. It was Lin, a girl from Springvale. She wore a plain, white sundress and held a basket of fruits in her hand. A small sheep perked it's head up, happily following her. "You're back!"

You gave her a soft smile, as she placed her basket down. "Not for long. It's almost winter so I thought I'd just stay here till it warms up again."

"You can't possibly spend the rest of your life traveling can you? Why don't you settle somewhere. Get married,have kids..." she chortled, dimples appearing to on her cheeks.

A bitter feeling pooled in your stomach at her words. Although her goal was not to offend you, you couldn't help but feel a little cold towards her opinions. Life would become too simple if you settled down and there would be a lack of an adventure. And as for finding a partner, you were barely 21, there was no rush for romance. You'd rather continue to travel from nation to nation, occasionally living in one place for a while and finding odd jobs. "Perhaps one day!" you fruitfully replied, maintaining a tense free vibe. Your eyes trailed down to her hands and you suddenly noticed a shiny object on her ring finger. You gasped out of surprise and looked up at her, mouth agape. "Y-You're engaged?"

Lin bashfully tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before speaking. "Oh... How could I forget? But yes, my fiancé proposed to me a couple months ago. You'll be delighted to hear that he's a vision holder, just like you!"

"Congratulations!" you enthused. You could care less about him being a vision holder, but you didn't want to hurt her feelings. Unfortunately, she seemed to pick up a hostile vibe.

"Well then, I'll be off!" she picked up her basket. "Please let me know if you need anything. I'll be at the bakery most of the day!" she strutted away while her sheep followed her joyfully.

You watched as her figure grew smaller and smaller the farther away she walked, and sighed in relief. It's not that you didn't like her, you enjoyed her company. The people of Monstad were just a little too free in their way of speaking. Sometimes they wouldn't know when to keep their thoughts to themselves. There was tons of talk going on at the moment— about some other traveler and their sibling, Stormterror, the Fatui infiltrating, the abyss order, etc.

You never cared about the hassle of it all.

It was selfish of you.

Currently, you had your book of herbs and fruits open, flipping through the pages of ones you could collect from Springvale. You reached down to collect a pile of red colored berries, which often grew next to tall trees. Before your fingers could lock around the fruit, footsteps emerged from behind you, and you panicked. Immediately straightening up, you turned around to see absolutely nothing there. Your brows furrowed in confusion before your ears picked up the sound of something whizzing past you.

"What the hell?" you whispered to yourself. For a moment, you stood lazily, as if you were unaware of your surroundings. The second you heard shuffling, you turned around once more, and your body flung itself at the thing that was running behind you. Your sword was out and you found yourself tackling SOMEONE, rather than SOMETHING onto the grassy floor. You immediately recognized the fox-like features of person pinned underneath you, with your sword at their neck. "Childe?"

"Miss me?" he cocked a brow.  You pulled yourself off him angrily, before he caught a hold of your wrist, forcing your down, enjoying the little gasp that left your lips. "And what did I say about calling me that?"

"Ajax," you hissed, glaring down at the harbinger. You were quick to notice how his grip slightly tightened, but he still held the same playful expression on his face. "What are you d-"

"Tsk!" he scoffed. "As if you don't know."

You finally pulled away from him, and stumbled back into the grass. Sighing, you looked up only to realize something was blocking the sun from shining down on your face. An arm extended down to help you on feet, and reluctantly, you took it. "I don't know why you're here."

"I left you a note [Name]. You know that!" his voiced darkened and increased in volume with each word. His features were no longer soft and mischievous— they were cold. Perhaps his eyes were always this dull and lifeless, you just never realized before. Displeased with your lack of a response, Childe stalked closer to you. "I don’t like to be ignored, don’t do this right now.”

You stepped back, hearing the sound of leaves crunching under your shoes. "Fine!" you snapped, staying alert of your surroundings. "I did get the letter but you're delusional if you think I thought about it for even a second."

"Ouch..." Childe dramatically placed a hand on his chest, face morphing into falsified pain. "You really hate me that much?"

"Chil-" you began, but caught sight of the disapproving look plastered on his face. Your grit your teeth before continuing. "Ajax... I don't want to join the Fatui, under you especially."

"Is that so?" he taunted. That was something else you despised about the harbinger. He rarely took anything that left your lips seriously. God- you fucking hated when he did that. It made you feel worthless— like a kid blabbering nonsense to its parent. It was degrading. "You'd be a special subordinate of mine [Name]. Anything you want, it's yours. If the world is what you desire, the world is what you'll have."

To anyone watching without an ounce of context, Childe sounded almost romantic. Offering the world to you as if it was a material object— he looked to be at your feet. But you know him. You knew him far better than any of those imaginary bystanders. He was a monster, and you were simply just his prey. “I don’t-” you swallowed.

“Do you really believe that you have a choice?” he taunted you once again. His eyes gazed down curiously in an attempt analyze your body language. Suddenly, as if the world had sided with him, Childe’s eyes lit up. “Confused?”

You looked at him strangely, tilting your head. He loved when you did that. “Confused about what?” you questioned. Without a single second to spare, his strong arms wrapped around your waist, and with immeasurable speed, you were pulled behind a tree. “Wh-” you began.

“Sh!” the harbinger hissed, covering your mouth with his hand. He motioned towards the open field and your turned your head, your eyes meeting two soldiers, probably the Knights of Favonius. They seemed to be searching for someone, their hands tightly gripping their weapons. You opened your mouth to ask Childe why he seemed to be hiding, but before you could ask, he was already speaking. “Someone died, and they’re looking for the killer.”

“Huh?” you squeaked out in confusion.

His eyes switched from dark and dull to a bright gleam. You noticed the way his lips curved up into an innocent smile and how it reached eyes. “It was some blonde girl with a sheep.” he shrugged. Your heart dropped into your stomach and bile was forming in your throat. For a second, you felt dizzy, and you unconsciously hunched over, covering your mouth. “There! There!” the ginger patted your back soothingly. He helped you steady yourself. “It’s alright, some sacrifices have to be made for the greater good."

You froze, glaring up at him, and finally understanding the dire situation you were in. “You killed a civilian?” you croaked out, still a little dizzy. She was with you only a few moments ago. Had you not ran off in anger, you would have protected her.

Childe was still watching you carefully— observing your face with intent to analyze your emotions. “Come now, you’re not oblivious to the doings of the Fatui, are you? We really don’t have time for idle chit chat, they are looking for you.”

He motioned for you to follow him, and crossed his arms in disapproval when you didn’t. “How many more people are to die for you? Huh?” he angrily snapped at you. “The more you waste my time, the more people die, understand?”

You hands were shaking. Out of fear or anger or perhaps shock— you didn’t know. “F-Fine.” you spoke, your voice shaking. All you think about was Lin. Poor, sweet Lin who made the fatal mistake of befriending a simple girl who had caught the eye of the 11th Fatui Harbinger. You didn’t want to think about her family, or her fiancé, or the the fact that she wanted kids.

Childe leaned down to raise up your chin and kiss you. You obliged, kissing him back and feeling him smile into it. “See. Everything is much better when you simply listen. Isn’t it?”

Based on the cutscene, do you think Venti actively allowed the Oceanid to rest in Monstad? 

Oh definitely. Mondstadt is like the home of orphans and strays. It’s both very wonderful and terribly sad. That cutscene was great but now every time I hear the Spring Vale music I’m slightly devastated. I like how calm events have the most emotional art scenes for no reason. The TCG event scene still hurts my heart.

Marionetta

Albedo and YN are both non human creatures, albedo being an Homonculus and You being doll bringed to life (you can take Gowther from 7deadly sins as an example) you are an experiment by Lisa and Jean who desperately wanted a child , since you're seen as abnormal you where gifted an electro vision , you have ashy blond hair and deep green eyes

He was really curious

Maybe a bit too curious

The Homonculus had already tried everything to get his shy doll to reveal his body so he could understand how your body would function

So now it was time for his final subtle try , as he thought. In fact he was never really subtle especially since the little klee would tell you everything finding it funny to play the matchmaker between her two best friend in the world. So you played the game and finally caved in .

Albedo had invited you and klee to a pond in this hot summer day to play in the water and swim . But klee had told you everything! So to tease a bit the scientists you decided that the best thing to do would be to wear your swimsuit AND a shirt

Giving the blond an adorable pouting face not understanding why his plan would always fail

Albedo: ...you should take off your shirt its gonna get wet

Yn: shouldn't you swim too ?

You knew his reason but it was so funny to tease him

Albedo: ..no , i-i want to draw this tree first !

Yn: then we can draw with you in the meanwhile

Albedo: b-but kle-

Klee: he ! Don't worry I got my floaties that mommy gave me ! So I can swim alone like a big girl !

The alchemist was defeated and his despair he took you by the shirt only being a centimeter or two more than you

Albedo: y-youre driving me crazy !! Come on let me see how your body work !!

He was softly shaking you while you ended up laughing and hugged him

Yn: aaaah you're too funny ! You could've just ask you know ? I am more than happy to steal your attention

The poor blue eyed scientists was completely red ashamed of his kid like behavior

Albedo: noooo it's not funnyyyy

Yn: what do you want to know about my body ?

Albedo: ..can I do a full check up of your physical reaction , heat , and sensitivity please ?

Yn: sure have fun !

And as you where taking off your shirt he seemed to gain some red , since when did his interest in your body function made him so ...clumsy ? Anyways he needed to focus ! So he did ...half did . As he was checking your working reflex his hand wandered on your thighs curious if they where as sensitive and..giving a look to your red face made him abruptly stop

Albedo: l-lets end the experiment here for today ..i-i don't want to overheat my subject

The poor boy was caught off gard by this new reaction so much that after that he ran away so read that some monstad people started rumors about the strange behavior of their hermit

[the-sleepysiren]

[dandelion-wings]

Are you going to publish more Bells and Spires works? I'm pretty fond of these works you made, almost stalking your account every now and then. I really want to see the family Kaeya found in Jean and Barbara after what happened with his brother... Will you write about Diluc too in this series? Like coming back to Monstad after his little escapade in Sneznhaya?

That's certainly my hope! I have a lot of WIPs for it, including the Jean/Lisa sequel, and thoughts for the dim and distant threequel (which would be when Diluc shows back up). I also have a lot of other WIPs and a lot going on IRL, and fanfic is a hobby for me that gets less fun if I try to force it, so I don't want to make promises I may not keep. But I would love to complete out the series someday.

Yandere Ayaka x fem reader

So in this story the reader is the little sister of Aether

♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛ ♛

Yandere ayaka: who fell in love with you when you showed up at the Kamisato house with your older brother she couldn't see you at that moment but she knew you were perfect for her when she heard your sweet voice telling your older brother that you had to help her and that you couldn't leave Inazuma's citizens in that condition such a sweet soul that is ready to help her without asking for anything in return were you by any chance an angel sent by the Archon?

Yandere ayaka: who immediately began to spy on you from your meeting starting to collect as much information as possible about you even asked his older brother if she could have some documentation of your battles in Monstad and Lyue (as if she didn't already know about it)

Yandere ayaka: who saw red when she found out you put yourself in danger to save Thoma she wanted your older brother to go not her princess

Yandere ayaka: that at your next meeting she convinced his brother to distract Aether so she could spend ALONE some time with you her sweet princess (let's face it Ayato can't say no to her little sister so when Ayaka told him she was in admiration of you Ayato can't help but help her make her little sister's dream come true)

Yandere ayaka: that when she heard the hurtful comments about your body from some of the stylists at the shop where she commissioned his and yours dress, she looked for an excuse to distract you and then threatened to make them lose their jobs and ruin their reputations for all inazuma because she was Kamisato Ayaka and you her sweet girlfriend (even if you didn't know it) who will become y/n Kamisato

Yandere ayaka: that when you accompanied her to the festival with your new dress that matched hers perfectly she couldn't help but admire you under the moonlight now the festival doesn't matter to her anymore

Yandere ayaka: when a group of guys starts insulting you saying that ayaka was close to you only because you were the sister of Monstad's hero and that you were just a burden to your brother a good-for-nothing bitch as soon as ayaka saw you running away crying she doesn't think about it not even twice before pushing the boys into an alley and giving them a quick but painful death now that alley is painted in red blood because no one can insult the girlfriend of the Kamisato clan's daughter

Yandere ayaka: after she had managed to calm you down and you had helped her and she had danced for you she revealed her feelings to you and you with a blush on your cheeks said yes so she kissed you like in a fairy tale where you are the princess and she your prince who rescued you now you were truly forever her sweet princess soon to be her queen

Yandere ayaka: his brother even managed to convince Aether to let you stay here where it was much safer while he continued his journey in search of Lumine and now here you are dressed in the classic Kamisato clan clothes dancing with Ayaka and her brother and thoma look at you smiling

“y/n I've always liked you from the first moment I heard your sweet voice you're like a princess always sweet and polite you always put yourself in danger for people who don't deserve you but I want to be there to protect you like a prince willing to save her princess”

“what did you dare to say about my girlfriend do you know who i am? I am Kamisato Ayaka daughter of the Kamisaro clan don't you dare talk about her in this disrespectful way because I will make you dream that you died by the sword of the Shougen. do you understand?”
