There is a knock on Xiangling’s door. “A-Auntie, are you there?”

@crossroadsglade

Xiangling opens the door to see Meg

“Oh Meg what brings you all the way from Snezhnaya to Liyue?”

She lets Meg come in preparing Meg’s favorite tea handing to her as Guoba gets food that Xiangling prepared

“Meg you seem stress everything okay” Xiangling said softly kissing the top her head as Meg was sitting so easy for her to do

You're Magic Now - Chapter 5 Preview

A Blind Date

A cauldron sat in the middle of the shared common room of the girls’ apartment as Lumine, Keqing and Ayaka worked hard on crafting its contents. The fumes coming from the potion were thick and while they smelled fairly good, they made the room hazy. Keqing cracked open a window, summoning a breeze to help air out the room. If this potion didn’t work, Lumine was going to lose it.

“Lumine,” said Ayaka while the blonde stirred the cauldron’s contents. “Where did you find this recipe anyway?”

“It’s a recipe that Kazuha gave me,” Lumine told her. “He said that he used it after he unlocked his base form.” She had been having trouble with a couple of spells during class that resulted in a lot of minor explosions. Kazuha, needless to say, was only one of many to take note of it. “It’s supposed to help me find the source of my magic so that I can control it better.”

“And potatoes are a part of that?” mused Keqing with a brow raised. …Now that she said it out loud, Lumine wasn’t so sure. There was a moment of silence before Ayaka picked up a measuring spoon to use to taste the cauldron’s contents. She stared at the mixture after putting the spoon in her mouth. 

“Lumine,” Ayaka began, “this tastes a lot like something Thoma used to make for me when I was upset.”

Lumine quirked a brow. “Thoma?”

“My brother’s former retainer.”

“Former? What happened to him?”

“Nothing bad! I promise! He’s just… my brother’s fiancé now.” Oh. Oh. …Good for him.” Ayaka quickly shook her head, her face still a bit pink. “A-Anyway, none of these ingredients are magical, they’re just regular food items that Keqing asked Xiangling to get for her.”

Keqing shrugged. “Xiangling knew what we could use because it was in surplus or going bad soon anyway.” Lumine loved that girl. She was the daughter of the school’s chef and a fairy as well, even though she wouldn’t start at Alfea for two more years. 

…wait a minute.

“So, we’re making soup?” Lumine asked. It was just soup, not some kind of potion?

“Kazuha tricked you into making soup so you’d feel better,” said Ayaka. Well… this was definitely a first. It had likely been because so much had been changing for her lately, and Kazuha must’ve caught wind of it. Not to mention that earning her wings brought forth a whole new surge of magic that she was still trying to get a solid grip on.

Unlike most of the others in their class, Lumine was still struggling to find the source of her magic. Everyone seemed to get it within the first few days of school or even before they started Alfea. For example, Keqing’s came from the weather and Ayaka’s was from snow. Barbara’s stemmed from song, Kazuha’s from sound and Bennett’s from fortune. Any test that Lumine took under their class advisor’s supervision came out inconclusive. The hell did that even mean…?

…maybe Lumine did need the soup. She was brought out of her thoughts when the door to their apartment opened. Barbara came in, staring at a note in her hand and seemingly not focused on much else aside from it.

“Hey, Barbara!” called Lumine. “Kazuha tricked me into making feel good soup. Want some?”

The full chapter will be up on Ao3 on October 12th!

full list of genshin characters and their possible godly parent (from percy jackson and its other related works)

no archons here mainly because they're gods in their own right and sadly no adepti/immortal beings (so no xiao, xianyun, or yae miko) no natlan characters either (made right before 5.0) since i know next to nothing about them. the list also includes alternate possible parents (because what i wrote down adhered to the canon of percy jackson eg. very little to no big 3 kids) so if a character also suits another god i'll take that into account. the entire list is also in full alphabetic order!

[viatrixtravels-a]

Send "Love Story with ____" for my muse's reaction on finding a romantic fanfiction about themselves paired with that character

"Love Story with Xiao: Sparkle" (Based on: Kimi No Nawa and The Angel Next Door Spoils me Rotten)

Submitted by the infamous 'long ask anon'. uwu

When Lumine first picked up the book, she was a little skeptical. It was quite hard to imagine Xiao as a character inside a romance novel after all. While he could be very romantic when he wants to be, he still did not strike her as your typical male lead type of character. However, perhaps this story would prove her wrong.

"Well...I have to wait for Paimon to wake up from her nap anyways. Might as well read this in the meantime."

With every page, the blonde became more and more invested in the story, her cheeks now dusted a pastel pink hue.

"..."

She completely lost track of time, completely absored by the book and before she knew it, she had reached the end.

"That was..."

Letting herself fall back onto the mattress, she covered her face with both hands and began to roll around on top of the bed before burying her face in a pillow to silence her squealing.

( ...Amazing!! )

Cheesy love stories had always been a guilty pleasure of hers ever since Fischl introduced her to them. She had secretly bought countless of romance novels from Yae Publishing House - keeping it top secret from all of her friends besides Paimon. But this one was special since it featured Xiao and herself. She would implode from embarrassment if the former were to ever find this book and read it, but she would definitely keep it stashed somewhere to read again at a later time.

THE STORY

In the first scene, you both wake up in your respective homes preparing for school. You are a Grade 11 Student who is good at travelling, language, reading, and some cooking. Xiao is a Grade 12 Student who is really good at martial arts, history, and playing the flute. You go out first to walk to the train station to go to your school. Along the way, you catch a glimpse of Xiao but then, the train stops, and you lose him in the crowd. After getting off at the correct station, you try to find him but can't so you continue on in school. Xiao meanwhile, seemed oblivious to all this but could some what sense that something is going on and continues going to school.

You arrive and meet your friends Xiangling, Amber, and Sucrose in the school entrance, and the four of you talk about the typical things in highschool life. Amber asks if you have a crush on anyone but of course you say that no boy is attracted to you or has an interest in you. Xiao meanwhile, was sparring with Xinqiu while Kaeya, Diluc, Thoma and Childe and even Bonanus, Menogias, Indarius and Bosacius watch on. Xiao beats Xinqiu and Xiao and his Yaksha friends congratulate him while the others clap. The scene then moves to Xiao and his Yakshas having lunch in the canteen and Bosacius teases Xiao how he needs to find a crush soon and that he can't be that uninterested in finding a liking to someone. Xiao of course says nothing but then Menogias says to him that he has been looking at a certain golden haired girl across the other side of the canteen. It's you. And talks to him that she does look pretty and a pretty intelligent student too.

Days pass, you're fixing things in your locker, but then once you close it, you come face to face with...

Xiao

You get startled, and you drop all your things. It was a mess of books and notebooks and papers. Xiao first apologises to you, but then you let out an annoyed look as you told him that you had just fixed your locker. He decides to help you, and as both of you are fixing your mess, he accidentally touches your hand as you try to grab a book. You look at each other with confused looks at first, but then Xiao says he's sorry for touching your hand and just continues fixing the pile of books. You, on the other hand, are... blushing. Blushing in stunned silence as you look at how... handsome he is? Yes. Xiao looked handsome. It lasts for a few more seconds until he looks at you with a confused look and snaps you out of the trance. Quickly, you fix the remaining books and safely place them in your locker. You thank Xiao, and he returns the favour, but then, he asks you your name. You respond back with typical hospitality and also tell him your class and grade level. He then tells you his name and class and his grade level and tells you that it's nice meeting you. Before he leaves however, you ask him where he's going, and he responds by saying that he was going to the library. As were you, so you both decide to go together and along the way you both ask what your daily lives are and what hobbies and so on you both have. You're interested in Xiao's knowledge of history thanks to being a student of Professor Morax, and you want to know how to get into a martial arts class while he is interested in the amount of places you've been.

As time goes on, you both grow closer and become good friends, and you both travel on the same train, and you both sometimes visit each other's apartments, which are just a block apart. Soon, you introduce him to your group of friends and he introduces you to his fellow Yakshas as well as the other martial artists students.

Months have passed since you first met, and you're in Xiao's house cooking some food for him and yourself since you both agreed that he would be the one to wash the dishes while you cooked. After eating dinner, you both study and share some knowledge together, and he decides to share you a story about one of Professor Morax's lectures, but halfway through, you fall asleep. Xiao was surprised by this and decided to bridal carry you to bed. As he covers you in a blanket, you slightly wake up and see him looking at you. You tell him goodnight, and he does the same but before he left, he couldn't help but stare at you. Maybe he's enthralled by your beauty but he wouldn't want to make it known. Not yet at least.

When you wake up, you ask how you ended up in bed, and Xiao tells you that he bridal carried you. You become embarrassed as your face turns red and you ask him why he carried you without asking you first, and he simply told you that you were already asleep and he didn't want you on the couch or sleeping on the floor. Still embarrassed, you make some punches on his thigh and when he asks why you say "Shou-Kun no baka!" but you do let it slide for now and he does apologise.

The school semester goes by, and the two of you start to become closer as rumours start to spread of you possibly being with the school's top martial artist student. Do you want to admit your true feelings for him? Or course not. It would cause too much of a ruckus and bad publicity.

One day, you and Xiao are walking together at a festival to which you were invited to attend by Ayaka and Ayato. You were wearing a beautiful shrine maiden kimono and have a kitsune mask you bought, while Xiao keeps close by holding your hand. Yep, he was trying his best to hide his embarrassed look as he held on to you for about 15 minutes or so. After some time, you finally meet with the Kamisato siblings, and Ayato comments on how your bond with Xiao is only growing stronger, it seemed. Before you could say anything, Xiao talks first, saying that while he and you are close friends and that there's nothing romantic about the relationship. Ayato only laughs while Ayaka says there's nothing wrong with admitting your true feelings someday. She had a point. Perhaps you and Xiao will have to spill the beans someday.

More days pass by, and on one occasion you both sleepover in Xiao's house, as you both talk about what your plans are for the next day, Xiao thanks you for being the closest person he's ever had and that he was able to open up more to you and his friends because your presence made him feel more comfortable. You do the same, and you take his hand before telling him that she still feels uncertain about how he would feel if you said this to him, so you write on the palm of his hand, "好きです". It's "I love you" in Inazuman. Xiao is taken a back and isn't sure how to respond, but eventually, he also says that he, too, has strong feelings for you and thanks you for everything and so you kiss him on the cheek before leaving. Xiao is only stunned silent.

On the school's sports event, you have to compete in a track and field sprint with a partner, and since all others are taken, you decide with the best person. Xiao. When it's your turn, you both run at full speed while everyone cheers you on. Thanks to learning and exercising with Xiao himself, you match his speed, and it appears that neither of you will take the lead. You both spend every last bit of stamina until...

You both reach the finish line at the same time, and everyone is unsure who really won the contest. When asked who won by the host, you write down, "Someone lovely," and then Xiao responds with "The lovely person beside me." Everyone is shocked at this revelation. Your friends, Xiao's friends, the professors. The judges, the host, and every student watching the event. You look at Xiao with a beautiful smile, and he smiles back at you while holding your hand. He leans in and kisses you at the forehead, and you respond back with a tight hug.

The days past have been very interesting considering now that everyone knows that you and Xiao are a couple now. The paparazzi was crazy.

The next scene is you on a train returning home, but then the train you are on stops and breaks down. With no choice, the passengers are forced to leave the train and walk on foot. Your phone is low battery, and you are far from home. So you tell Xiao to meet in a particular place near the city outskirts. However, it was late at night, and you get lost, trying to find a place. Xiao too was lost but was able to find his way to a low ridge where he tries to contact you. Before you could give the exact details, your phone dies but you know he's close. You run everywhere, but you still can't find him. Hours pass, it's certainly past midnight, and you trip on the road and roll until you stop after 10 seconds. You're in pain, and you're exhausted. However, you are determined to find him and feel his embrace. Your lover was doing and thinking the same, and he was busy walking on a small road in a forest while desperately trying to look for you. Hour after hour passes but you still can't find each other. You both swore that you both checked every place and are just going around in circles. But then you both remembered...

The sun. The sun rise can be seen on the mountain top. The place where you can directly signalling a new day. There can be no other place in the city right now.

As dawn approaches you successfully go on top of the flat mountain face and start to run everywhere until...

You just ran past someone.

You slowly turn around.

That face. You know that face, and it knows yours.

Xiao.

Tears start to stream down your face. But then you start to laugh. He laughs too. How absurd was it? To run for hours until the dawn and meet at the mountain top. You then embrace Xiao as hard as you can and he embraces back, thankful that you're okay, despite the bruises and scrapes on your skin. He too was crying. After a while, he then takes your hand and writes "大好きです" on your palm. He was saying "I love you" but this time it was out of true passion, and he is elated to finally to have said those words to you. You say "I love you" back to him and give him a passionate kiss on the lips. He returns it back. Relishing in the moment as the Sun rises above the clouds on the mountain and the surrounding city.

Years pass, you both graduated to college but didn't come to the same school this time. You decided to study abroad for two years while he stayed. After a while, he for some reason, stopped receiving your calls and messages. It seemed all would be forgotten until one day. Maybe all the things you experienced before were just a dream. But after returning to your home country, you walk past an all too familiar face.

On a flight of stone stairs...

You both look back at each other.

It's certainly him.

You both ask "Kimi no namaiwa?"

-The End

[manganyeh]

“Oh I’m Cecil the goose kid!” She said scratching the back of her head

“I usually come to the hearth to help with the food since I think Arlecchino likes me!”

((don’t mind me but meet the goose adopted child who is around Lilith age Xiangling))

Xiangling decided to come visit the hearth to help out as well she hadn’t seen Cecil in a while but the least she could do was to visit the fatui

When bringing her stuff she bumps into someone by accident

“O-oh sorry I didn’t mean to bump into you!” Xiangling said Guoba about to help her up before the other extended their hand

“Oh thanks I’m Xiangling by the way!”

@manganyeh

lilith is on her way to bother her siblings, of course — they're just so fun to tease, but she can't find them anywhere– ugh, she can't be bothered.

just as she thinks that, she bumps right into someone; as they fall over, she offers a hand to help them up.

❝ no problem, ❞ she nods curiously. ❝ nice to meet you, xiangling; i'm lilith. never seen you around here — who are you? ❞

[devolusion]

niya does not care about most people.  while they do have something resembling a moral code that they abide by in terms of how to treat others, they ultimately view most people around them as tools they can use.  if they see someone dying and they can help, or the strong attacking the weak, they’ll interfere, but beyond life - and - death happenings such as that, the vast majority of people do not matter to niya as individuals.  even most people she’s on ‘friendly’ terms with aren’t even people in her head, just things to use.  whether that’s something they can use in the fight against the fatui — allies, ‘friends’ — or just to entertain themself.

the only people niya actually gives a shit about by default are the traveler and jean, and jean only because jean infuriates her.  anyone else — kaeya, elysia, ningguang, etc — exist, to niya, solely to entertain or be used by her.  (  obviously there are individual muses for whom this is not true; @wanmins’s xiangling is adored by niya, but by and large —  )

this isn’t to say niya is pointlessly or excessively cruel in their day to day.  she can be mocking or dismissive, but just because she subconsciously doesn’t consider you a person doesn’t mean she's going out of her way to be a dick.  it just means that she won’t pry or prod into another’s business if it doesn’t benefit her, because who gives a shit?  it just means that if she acts like she views you as an actual friend, she’s probably being manipulative.  it just means that if you need her help, you'll probably have to pay for it. but she’s such a good mimic — who even cares!!  after all, there’s no niya, just masks, so it’s not like the specifics of her views matter.

[fanfaire]

[XINYUE KIOSK DESSERT CART]

Two girls with sweet tooths and an abundance of moon cakes with seven unique fillings to try out ー What could possibly go wrong?

"Wah...~! Just look how pretty these are! It always amazes me how they manage to add such an intricate pattern on top of the pastry." Lumine considered herself to be a decent cook and baker, but she would never be able to pull of something like that.

"Anyway, we're not here to just look at the food, are we? Let's try some of these! Which flavor speaks to you the most? Personally I'm torn between the vanilla custard or apricot jelly..." She mused, placing one hand underneath her chin. "The Jueyun chili compote sounds very unique but I doubt I will be able to handle the spice." She could not help but wonder if Xiangling perhaps helped out to select the different flavors - it definitely did something like something she would come up with. The young cook is infamous for using a bold flavors in the kitchen - as well as always trying out unique or unusual flavor combinations.

after a late night traversing the deep and still wetlands of dihua marsh nearly until dawn's first light, she's sure all of the production team is appreciative for the day off to spend at their leisure before a second venture this evening. most of them opted to spend it resting at the inn, but she and a couple others could hardly pass up the chance to partake in the festivities further south at the harbor.

and who should she encounter but the golden-haired traveler, most recently center stage of fontaine's triumph — and of furina's own notoriety.

( if she's completely honest, the sight of lumine still summons a strange and unpleasant sensation, like shuddering under the blazing heat of far too many lenses, as oppressive a sun as the hue of her hair. she cannot altogether help the tiny bit at the center of her that curdles, like a vine turning its head away; lumine had coaxed her plaintively to speak of the truth. alone, she'd dangled a temptation of understanding, of companionship. and it had nearly, so, so nearly succeeded. how she had longed—

then the rafters had fallen away, revealing the stage.

and the grandest actress found herself in the defendant's box; on the other side, that unrelenting gold. so bright, so bright — like too many stage lights. )

"ahem!" furina clears her throat confidently and waves for the seller's attention; lumine's doubt had secured her decision. "two of the chili mooncakes, please! the hottest ones you have."

as the merchants exchange quick orders with each other, she crosses her arms and casts an assured, brazen look at her erstwhile accompaniment. "there's no point to it if you stay in your comfort zone all the time. i'm sure you wouldn't be half the adventurer you are if you did. a fair challenge: whoever sheds a tear or asks for water first pays for the sweet flavors next. no backing out, or you may as well buy them now!"

[manganyeh]

Xiangling nods before Guoba brought out some prepared dishes

"Well we are happy to serve you anything you like right Guoba!" She smiles brightly

"Feel free to take a seat will bring you something anything you want!"

Xiangling came back with some steamed pork buns placing them infront of Lynette

"So is there anything else we can get you!"

Xiangling was working hard and saw Lynette walking into her restaurant she immediately dashed in front of Lynette

“Welcome I’m Xiangling and this is my co-chief Guoba how can we help you?”

Xiangling was very much excited for this new customer before she recognized who she was

“OH YOU THE LYNETTE FROM FONTAINE!”

Xiangling fixes herself up a bit before clearing her throat

“S-so what brings you to Liyue?”

@manganyeh

Lyney had decided that , with Lantern Rite approaching , it was the perfect time to visit Liyue . And , of course , he wasn’t going anywhere without his dear sister ! Lynette didn’t really enjoy trips away from home , but since Lyney insisted. . . they even dragged Freminet along (by force) , calling it a ❛ family trip ❜ or something like that .

When they arrived in Liyue , Lyney wandered off to explore Liyue Harbor , dragging Lynette along with him . Freminet , preferring peace and quiet , went off on his own to spend time alone .

But the ❛ looking around ❜ didn’t last long . Before Lynette knew it , her brother was already performing a small magic show for a group of kids nearby . With nothing else to occupy her , Lynette decided to find somewhere to eat .

The nearest spot was Wanmin Restaurant . She didn’t expect to be greeted so enthusiastically by the chef the moment she stepped inside .

❝ Hello , miss Xiangling . Yes , I am the Lynette you’ve heard of . But I didn’t expect to be recognized so quickly . I’m just the assistant , ❞ she said in her usual calm tone .

Despite her composed demeanor , the chef’s excitement brought a small smile to her face .

❝ My siblings and I came here for the upcoming Lantern Rite . My brother , Lyney , thought it would be exciting to visit for the occasion . ❞
