99 Years, 11 Months, 27 Days

Theatricality had never been Neuvillette's strong suit, but a century of learning from one of Teyvat's greatest illusionists had taught him how to put on a good show. Thankfully Furina took ages to get ready, which meant Neuvillette had plenty of time to set the stage…with a few helping hands, of course. 

"Where do you want the cake M. Neuvillette?" A lime green melusine asked, delicately balancing a hefty slice of pillowy cake on her head. 

"Table by the window if you please, Ceres," Neuvillette said, lighting the last of the candles and setting it on a paper lily boat in the pool. Furina had spent four bloody months settling on the decor for the grand gala and he would be damned if someone didn't enjoy the ambiance. A small fleet of melusine had done what they could without ladders, turning the lower three feet of walls into a tapestry of ceramic fish and shells as Neuvillette prepared the pool. 

"Alright, that should do it," Neuvillette sighed, pulling his hair into a loose ponytail and wiping his brow. He had stripped down to a loose shirt and slacks while setting things up, deciding to change into something more suitable once everything was set up. "Thank you ladies, I shall take it from-" 

"Neuvillette?"  Furina called from behind the door to her room. "Where are you?" 

"Pool room," Neuvillette called, ushering the melusine through the door to the foyer. "Come in." 

"Come in? Is that how one announces the arrival of an Archon to a gala held in honor of her reign?" 

"You want to be announced ?" Neuvillette sighed fondly. "To whom ?" 

"My distinguished guests, of course!" 

"...I am literally the only one here." 

"And very distinguished!" 

You ridiculous woman… Neuvillette thought with a slight smile. "...announcing Lady Furina de Fontaine, Regina of All Waters, Hydro Archon and Goddess Focalors, Ruler of the Nation of Fontaine, Protector and Patroness of the Melusine…etcetera, etcetera." 

"I don't recall etcetera etcetera being part of my coat of arms!" Furina huffed, anxiously unlatching the door and stepping out into the candlelit chamber. "Oh…I see you were busy." 

"Yes, well, since I assumed you would take some time gussying yourself up, I thought I would make the place look…" Neuvillette trailed off as Furina stepped into the light. Her dress reflected every candle, a sea of shimmering interlocking scales that shifted as she walked from shadow to shadow. It hugged her chest snugly, falling just short of her kneecap and leaving her collarbone and shoulders bare. Stockings and gloves that rose to the middle of her arm complimented the ensemble, as did a familiar blue gemstone that had finally returned where it belonged. 

"...beautiful," Neuvillette finished.

Blues time.

I didnt want it to get this far, but Ive always liked Furina a lot, then 4.2 happened with all the drama and betrayals and guilt, and then I saw Neuvilette smile and it was OVER.

Suffice to say, these two are stuck in my head permanently.

I honestly like any interpretation of their relationship, but I just found I have more fun coming up with more ship-y situations for them. (also like, small and feisty + tall and cool, by now you should know my preferences)

Anyways, bit of context for the Melusine one: in contrast to most Fontainians, the Melusines have been with Neuvilette and Furina for decades, so while they answer to Neuvi, Id think Furina still is a soft spot for them.

(And Neuvi seeing his ex-Archon he rly wants to reconnect with get along so well with his daughters, well, man has to decipher that emotions first).

post 4.2 furina finds out neuvillette said she was 'prone to hysterics' and is like 'hahaha.... yeah, yeah i was wasn't i? it must have been awful, having to deal with me for all those centuries...'

and you know neuvillette is standing there wracked with guilt like

(it starts to storm and furina thinks its because he's remembering how annoying and frustrating it was working with her, and meanwhile neuvillette is three seconds away from throwing himself on the ground and begging for forgiveness)
