#save me morax 😭

[da-shrimping-station]

what if he had less bandages covering his face yk

[jhuzen]

Hi!! I wanted to make a request if you're taking them right now! (Sorry if you aren't, feel free to just ignore!!((in love with your writing by the way it's amazing)))

My idea is Zhongli with a partner who is very usually very cheery and chaotic but very emotionally closed off. Until they get drunk for whatever reason and sobbing to Zhongli about how much they're in love with him and how he's the best thing that ever happened to them etc.

Basically just very mushy drunk reader.

Anyway, hope you're doing well, make sure to drink water and be nice to yourself!

truth serum [gn/m.reader]

asmsiskdkcmeimcwdc?? not me absolutely having fun with this godsend ask. like. tysm anon. i love it. you have no idea how amazed and happy i am to see this ask. good shit. another big brained anon ftw. also i hope i did it some justice 😭 i really enjoyed writing their chemistry,, it’s so cute hehe

𖦹 a pinch of angst, drinking, alcohol, an attempt at a cute scenario

In all the years that Zhongli has known you, there was nothing short of joy and amusement that you brought into his life. Since the day he met you up on one of the mountains he’s shaped and created, you’ve enticed him and drew him in so effortlessly and he complied, growing closer like a moth to a flame. You were the sun that everybody looked forward to — him more so.

And he wasn’t wrong with his judgment, you gave what you offered. You were the gentle glow and the warmth that radiated on the nights that he’s cold. Always blessing him with that smile of yours — how ironic was it that he was the famed archon, and yet he looked to you and worshipped you far more than anyone in the people of Liyue could ever do so with him. To him, you were the unsung deity, the person that deserved a throne but never needed one, your benevolence exceeded anyone’s expectations and anyone wouldn’t be ashamed to have you.

You are Zhongli’s pride and joy, the only one capable of forging the embers of passion that sweltered within him. You are his everything.

And even with such a kind attitude, you were no downer. You exhibited a form of exuberance that immediately drew everyone in. With that warming smile of yours, everyone wanted to be near you for a chance (though Zhongli still with the characteristics of the draconic Morax would refuse anything closer, you were his even before he staked his claim).

Said exuberance of yours often turned you into a mad riot — a whirlwind of pure excitement that anyone could barely keep up with. Zhongli had to stifle a quiet laugh when he had to come get you from Wanmin restaurant, Guoba scolding you as you tried to beat Xiangling on who can eat the most Jueyun Chilis. You lost to young girl, but Xiangling wasn’t doing any better. You tried to reason out that you were losing on purpose, but with your labored breathing and your adorably red face, Zhongli could tell otherwise.

Often times, Zhongli would get dragged into such schemes, to the point that he has to save you from plummeting down into Osial’s prison when you tried to propose to him to be your lover in the stone forest. It truly was memorable for all the wrong (and right) reasons.

You’ve endeared him when you took the leap of faith and came to him with open arms, ready to finally have him after the long-winded pining, the hinting glances he would give you, and the way the former archon only seems to care about you and only you far more than anyone else.

Being with you was nothing short of delightful. Everyday, Zhongli would wake up to your breathtaking smiles and home-cooked breakfast. You entertained his endeavors and stories that could last for days, even making remarks of your own. You bought him trinkets that ranged from something simple, to something he knew even Tartaglia’s bank would quiver at. You were perfect.

Well. Generously speaking.

By all means, you weren’t a bad partner or a lover, you gave him everything, from the material possessions, down to the intimate moments you and him shared.

It was only that there are times, when Zhongli would be left in the silence of your shared home, he would zone into those moments that were so intimate emotionally and found… that it was only him that ever shared the appreciations, the loving gratitude, and the genuine love that he feels for you. And you accepted it wholeheartedly, only to turn the other way and continue on with what you’re doing.

It worried him greatly.

Even more when his thoughts were proven right as you held him so closely as you and him laid under the shade of the tree, with him comfortably resting on top of you. He could hear your heartbeat from your chest, as he laid his ear on it, quiet thumping can be heard and if he were to listen close enough, there was a timber of kindness and love inside it.

He sighed, content and at peace within your arms, “I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated life more than now…”

“Hm? Why do you say that?” You asked, hands slowly removing itself from his waist as you played around with the strands of his hair. “You’re not dying on me, are you?” You jested and he only scoffed with no malice. Ever the joker you are, it’s ridiculous how he fell for such charms.

“I am merely appreciating the finer things in life. Madame Ping has urged me to talk more about it,” a mere white lie for him to coax out your vulnerability. Madame Ping was far too aware of his happiness now that he has you — she was always the one on the receiving end of his talk of fondness about you.

“Oh? Then what makes you appreciate this life then?”

“Complications are far behind me now that I’m no longer the one in control… everything feels so much simpler yet so intricate,” he looked up at you, chin resting on your chest as he flashed you a small smile. “All of it because now I have you. I love you, [Name]. I would give you all the stars if I could, and slay a thousand beasts to keep you from harm… you are my everything and without you, I can no longer see myself as something…”

He watched with glee as your eyes widened at his words, no doubt taken by surprise. Zhongli can feel it, your vulnerability, ready to bare itself to him with the same level of intimacy as he’s displayed. Just that, and he can be the most content man in the world.

“I— ah, that’s good.”

Zhongli blinked owlishly as you stumbled over your words. Struggled even. He felt your muscles tense up beneath him.

“Good. I’m glad you’re happy, dearest.”

He couldn’t shield you from the way his eyes flashed a smidge of hurt at your response. And you weren’t an idiot. A bit reckless to the point of trouble following you, sure, but you were far from ignorant. Especially to your lover. You frowned a little and tilted his chin up, “Hey now, don’t make that face. I’m glad you’re feeling okay in the life that you’ve been living. And I love you too,” you tried to salvage what you could but even you were aware at how lacking it was.

Zhongli wasn’t unappreciative of your efforts, but he could only nod and stomach the gnawing worry inside him as he felt your lips brush against the skin of his forehead. Surely there’s a way to pry you open, right? There was something holding you back… and he doesn’t know what.

He was aware already that despite how accepting you seem, no one has ever seen you so vulnerable. You were an individual so full of life, but you never once wore your heart on your sleeves. And if people could look past those smiles of yours that are just so full of life, they would’ve known just how closed off you truly are. It was confusing, really, and Zhongli was starting to doubt things.

If he can’t even know your true feelings… then what’s stopping you from suddenly going up and leaving, only to never come back? Zhongli was heartbroken at the thought, he can’t lose you, not in a million years and even more than that.

But how… in Teyvat is he going to pry you open?

“ALCOHOL!!”

Zhongli almost yelped as he watched the poor you crash into the cobble streets of the harbor, jolting at the sight of the infamous Crux Captain on top of your back, with an incredibly huge smile on her face. He grimaced at your weak groan. He knows you can stomach a little pain. He knows that after he watched you confront Azhdaha to help the traveler into coaxing him to give them some materials for something important.

“[Name]!! I’ve arrived with a hundred souvenirs and a thousand more kegs! Courtesy of the rich lady up top, of course.” Beidou cackled as she finally got off of you, helping you up to your feet. “Oh! Hey there! Hope you don’t mind me borrowing your beloved for awhile!” She winked at Zhongli… but from her one eye, it only seemed like a mere blink.

Zhongli tilted his head a little as the look of confusion crossed his features, “Pardon? What do you mean by that, Captain Beidou?”

You dusted off the last bits of dust on your clothing and laughed a little, “Ah, I almost forgot. Y’see, before Beidou left, she told me I owe her a challenge.”

“A challenge?” The former archon cocked an eyebrow.

“A challenge!” Beidou parroted with a loud laugh, patting your back rather strongly to the point that you almost went back down to kiss the ground. “I challenged [Name] into the greatest drinking contest ever! Them against me, of course! It’s finally time for us to prove who’s the one that can hold the most liquor in the world!”

Zhongli looked at you questioningly, and you returned it with a shrug, “It’s what she wanted. And she won’t leave me alone until I say yes. If I didn’t I probably wouldn’t have been able to leave the ship.”

“Like there was even a chance for you to say no!” Beidou laughed again before patting your back and Zhongli’s shoulder, “Alright, I’ll see you in Liuli Pavilion! The booze is waiting and I don’t want my rival backing out!”

You had to rub your back from the soreness and sighed, “Though I doubt she’ll win, you have to admire the captain’s spirit. It’s hard not to honor her request.”

Zhongli stepped nearer and fixed up the lapels of your suit, smiling a little, “You know it’s a rather unfair match, right? While the Captain is amazing, you’re basically impossible to even get drunk.”

“That may be true, but hey, who knows?”

Who knows, indeed — is what all Zhongli could say as he gawked at the many barrels of alcohol that were stacked upon each other. The captain was not kidding, she secured barrels of it even, and the spark of glee that was within her eyes was relatively alarming. He merely tagged along so he can at least help clean up, but now curiosity was lingering at the back of his mind.

He’s never once seen you drunk. Often times, it’ll be him already mumbling about on the occasions that you and him would go out and drink to unwind (often in the company of one harbinger who would always challenge you and subsequently lose). He’s even seen you offer a handicap and drink Snezhnaya’s fire water in one bottle and Tartaglia still got wasted first.

You simply held your alcohol so well. Zhongli figured maybe this was the reason for Beidou’s challenge, to finally outdo you.

And Zhongli would have called it a night if it hadn’t turned for the unexpected.

But before that, expectantly, Beidou was out. She couldn’t beat you, and probably not even a million years. But she managed far more than any other human out there, swigging drink after drink with little to no care, keeping up with you all the more. It was almost inhuman, really, to see her empty the huge beer glass with so much gusto, the accompanying snacks as chasers left to the crew members who were also around to witness their captain’s victory.

And when she finally tapped out, surprisingly, you… you were already drunk.

Zhongli waited in bated breath as you and him were the only ones awake in the establishment. He was positive even the owners had to have dozed off with how long this competition has been going on already.

“Z…Zhooooong…zhongzhong…” you murmured and he was already by your side in a flash.

“Dear? Are you alright?” The concern inside him was quelled as he watched your flushed cheeks brighten even more. You’ve had one too many to the point that you were barely coherent. He was surprised to say the least — seeing you so feverish and so drunk.

“Zhonnnngggzzzzzzzli,” he blinked as you looked up, letting go of the beer glass you had in your hand. “Did I… win?”

“Sure did. We’re the only ones awake.” He laughed.

You raised a wobbly and weak fist in victory, “H….Hhhh…. Y-Yep. D-Das’right… I am the… undefeated champ,” your fist landed softly on the back of Beidou’s head, bonking her slightly with a slurred grin, “Take that… you… sea lady thing…”

Zhongli sighed a little, it was definitely in your fashion to get yourself into this kind of situation. Definitely your style to agree to something as ridiculous as a drinking contest and get drunk for the very first time. A smile tugged on the corner of his lips, “I will go get you some water and carry you home, yes?” He said and you nodded.

Only that when he did stand up to get water, you pulled him back down from his coattails, making him sit on your lap.

“[Name], I…”

“Shhhshshshshhh, no. Shush.” You huffed, enveloping his waist with your arms as you buried your face into his chest. He let out a breath, “Shush.” You chided and Zhongli obliged, trying to breathe quietly… however that’s done.

You and him stayed in silence, and he relished in the feeling of you within him. It was a sight to behold, something he will definitely remember for all eternity.

“Zhongli…” you murmured into the fabric of his coat, he only let out a quiet hum in response, playing with your hair like you did with him before. “I love you.”

“I know, dear. And I lo—”

“No!” You suddenly yelled and one of the crew members stirred at your volume, but you could care less. You lifted your head from his chest and held his shoulders, pulling him back a little as you looked at him square in his eyes. “I. Really. Love. You.”

Zhongli smiled a little and nodded. But you cut him off before he could say it back again, “I don’t think you realize just… how much… I love you. It’s ridiculous. I love you so much that it’s soooo annoying,” you drawled and the former archon had to wonder what you meant.

Lucky him that you were going to tell anyway. It seemed as though a moment of sobriety and clarity came upon you, as your lazy slurring left your system while you spoke.

“You… are probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. I know I don’t say it much, but,” you hiccuped and Zhongli only then saw the tears cascading down your face, “I really, really, really love you so much. You have no idea how much it broke me when I saw your face before. You looked so sad, Zhongli, so, so, soooo sad. I’m sorry I couldn’t say it before, love. I don’t know what came over me, and I—!”

“Oh dear,” an airy chuckle left Zhongli’s parted lips as he watched you suddenly break open the emotions you held in your indestructible dam, flowing through like the tears in your eyes.

“I just— I just… I just!!! I just love you so much, man! Y-You treat me so well and give me all that I hope for!” You wailed so dramatically and Zhongli had to wonder if anyone woke up (he hopes not for the sake of your dignity and that he only wishes to be the only man to see this side of you), “Zhongli, I will marry you. It’s not even a want to do kind of thing anymore, I-I feel like if I don’t have you, I will die.”

It wasn’t even your intention, but soon tears pricked at the ends of his eyes, sniffling at your display, “Let’s hope we do not come to that point, yes?”

You pouted a little, “…Yes… Anyway… I’m… sorry I couldn’t say much… it’s hard for me, I guess,” you confessed and Zhongli understood. He always will for you. “But please understand… that if I also could, I would bring you not just stars but all worlds, that for your safety, I will not just kill a thousand threats but also build the strongest home… I will do it all for you…”

Suddenly, the fears within Zhongli were quelled and sent away as you finally gave out, letting him know that his worries were nothing but anxiety and that he will always have a place in your heart. He could feel his cheeks warm at your proposition earlier of tying the knot, even he couldn’t resist the giddiness that flooded his system at your drunken promise. It was enough for him to know that you still loved him even when it was expressed through a drunken honesty.

“…I love you… Zhongzhong…” you took your final shred of consciousness to breathe out your little declaration, eyes finally closing as you gave into the blissful slumber.

He cupped your cheeks and pecked your lips with a content smile, “I love you too, [Name].”

Zhongli was right about himself when you finally laid your feelings to him so openly. Because right now, he can confidently claim that he is most content man in the world.

I have so many ideas but none of them can be put into words, all I can do is just wheeze as they come along🤣

Also remember how wordy and flowery Teyvat speech/dialogue is? ADD THAT TO THE FACT THAT TEYVAT HAS ITS OWN LANGUAGE---

Reader can understand the basic speech which is why they are so blunt (I love this idea so much 🤣) and can piece together an idea what the person is talking about.

*insert random person talking about a commission with a long ass backstory*

Traveller & Co.: *understands completely and making plans to retrieve said commission*

C!Reader: (They said they had a cart.... a bunch of hilichurls appeared... dancing?.... they want us to dance fight the hilichurls???? Dance off???)

Actual story->The person's cart got ambushed by a group of hilichurls and taunted them by dancing around it.

....... it doesnt always translate well

Also imagine Reader heaeing random names and overthinks it as a word instead of a name.

Example: Pantalone means pants in Philippine English (sorry not sorry Pantalone)

Tsaritsa??? Oh do they speak russian there??? - reader

Capitano -> captain in some countries

(I once mistake Sandrone as Sandalone and I just went "... ehh??? Standalone? Sandalone as in Sand Alone???? Sandal (Flip flops)????

Oh wait its Sandrone" ".... as in Sand and Drone??--)

-Vine Boom

VINE BOOM ANON MY BELOVED 💖❤🧡💛💚💙💜✨️✨️

Gif is me writing u anything ever:

AHFLALA FERRRALLL I STG I ALSO THOUGHT ABT THIS!! WHY U COULD ALSO BE BLUNT BC U ONLY GOT THE BASICS 💀 RIP

Man theyre written language looks so scary to learn, kinda like when I looked into trying to learn Mandarin/Japanese (and even Korean), the letters r just inherently so different i was so intimidated

And u dont even read it like left -> right like English

Omg i tried to reply to a arabic comment on my art post once, and i felt so acommplished when i finally was able to type "اشكرك (thanks)" but like, i had to put it on the OTHER SIDE OF THE TEXT BOX, LIKE ALIGN IT TO THE RIGHT INSTEAD OF HOW U KNOW ENGLISH IS INHERENTLY ALIGNED LEFT, IT WAS SO TRIPPY-

Going thru genshin life only understanding minimal words of anything anyone says is honestly how i feel like ive been playing Genshin LMAO

Those analysis videos/lore are saving a bitch's life out here

PANTALONE IS ALSO RLLY CLOSE TO SPANISH FOR PANTS I KNOW WHAT U MEANNN LOL

UR ENDLESS CONFUSION FOR SANDRONE PLEASE ANON U DIDNT EVEN GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST CORRECTION IT JUST KEPT GETTING WORSEEE 😂😭 SAME THO

That would literally be you in genshin tho, like i could easily see it being like, back to back misunderstandings 😭😭

Like u think u got it right (Oh so his name is Rex Lapis, wait what? Morax? Ok his name is Morax...?? What??? Zhongli??? WHO IS THIS MAN-)

.

JFC first they gotta have a whole different language (like u saw in game)

And ON TOP OF THAT THEY CAN TALK FOR 10 MIN STRAIGHT ABT THE WEATHER OR SOME SHIT??

No... just, no.

U quickly decide u like what little bits of language u could pick up so far, which just results in,

U guessed it, simple speech and short fragmented sentences (or broken Teyvatian)

U cant even bring urself to care when u give half the characters a heart attack and send the rest into laughing fits

No fucks given, they wanna make this extra hard on u by being wordy on top of a new language,

Yeah u dont care what comes out of ur mouth anymore

Also, since everybody is raised in Teyvat very few ppl dont know the language, which once again brings us back to ancient/older deities/creatures who have a more simplistic version/outdated version of modern language

.

Omg getting stuff mistranslated bc u cant understand it all/only keywords sounds like hell but also rlly funny

Traveler/Paimon: "Alright, yes, all is well. We will accept this comission, and depart soon."

You: "...they want us to?? Dance fight?? Hilichurls...???"

Traveler just stares at u half in pity, half trying to hide their amused smile, Paimon is giggling

The commissioner is shook bc a supposed ancient creature?? Just accepted?? Their simple commission?? And u think they want u to dance battle???

.

PLEASE U MISTRANSLATE THE HARBINGERS NAMES RIGHT TO THEIR FACES

Signora: "You shall rue the day you crossed the Fatui mortals!"

You: "Lady we don't care, just fight us."

(Signora just means 'Lady')

Signora: *offended gasp*

Traveler/Paimon trying to stifle laughter

Raiden Shogun jaw dropped a little

.

Pantalone: "What a pleasure to finally meet you traveler, and thine wonderful companions!" *little bastard smile*

You: "And it was awful to meet you, Pants."

Pantalone: 😶😧😡 "Pants?! HOW DARE YOU NOT EVEN GIVE ME THE MOST BASE RESPECT, AFTER I GREETED THEE SO KINDLY-"

.

Oh its so funny, everytime you talk about Childe you always phrase it like he's an actual child bc u thought everyone was just calling him a little kid for some reason (u dont know how Teyvat ages work, he could be for all you know!)

Not very long, but Vine Boom anon your brain >>>>

Ur ideas r so on point, i love them sm

That makes perfect sense why u could be talking blunt too, like an in world explanation really

For you, all the desserts🥰 🤲🍪🍨🍰🍮🧋🍦🍡

Cheers,

🌒🌊🌧Aquarius♒️🌌🌘

[lalaaay]

Looking for a ZhongChi one chapter fic I forgot the title of where Childe is, if I remember correctly is a fox and was found by Guizhong I think? And then got close to Guizhong and then Morax. Then the Archon War happened and Guizhong died and ZhongChi was mourning separately(?) I think? likeee Childe is hiding under something I forgot, the cabinet or was it the bed until Morax coaxed him to come out cuz he already lost Guizhong so he can't lose Childe as well (by starving himself). I also remember the enemy invading their territory but their target was Childe and he was injured badly and was saved by Morax and the ending I remember was when Childe woke up after the incident he was confused why the adepti around him are gawking at him and it's because he turned into his human form and Morax was in awe.

Can anyone please help me find this fic 🥺🥺 I forgot to bookmark it and I've been looking for it for days I'm about to cry 😭

THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️

[getonite]

msmsksj m so normal rn !! >/////< s a bit long s'be warned !! ^_^

Okayokay- so there are these twins, Lumine n Aether, the game kinda lets yu pick which twin you want, but for simplicity sakes m gonna use Aether as the MC.

The twins r interstellar travelers, meanin they travel through different worlds together. They reach Teyvat n try to leave, but an Unknown God doesn't let em and separate the twins.

Fast forward 500 years, Aether wakes up n fishes this weird floating creature (that looks oddly similar to the Unknown God, very suspicious) out of the ocean. Her name is Paimon, and she decides to be Aether's (everyone calls him Traveler) guide and help him find his sister.

They make it t' Mondstat, a place based on Germany to see if she's (Lumine) there, and to meet the God of freedom, Barbatos. They don't, but they solve the storms that were reigning over due to Barbatos' (or Venti since that's the name he disguises himself under) pet dragon getting corrupted by the Abyss Order (remember that name beaches they're very important).

We learn that all Archons have this silly little chess piece looking thing called a Gnosis, which connects them to Celestia (basically kinda like Genshin's version of heaven, it's where the heavenly principles stays, she's Genshin's version of God). The Cryo (Ice) archon wants all the Gnosis' to overthrow the heavenly principles (if my lore knowledge s servin me correctly!!)

Traveler n Paimon decide to visit all the nations to ask the archon's if they know where Lumine went. The entire journey is pretty much same old same old until they meet Dainsleif.

Dansleif is the Twilight Sword (tip top Military man !!) who lived in a nation called Khaenri'ah. Dainsleif reveals that he was close go Lumine, and after the destruction of his home nation (The heavenly principles & the archons did because Khaenri'ah was a nation without a God, and they were gettin too advanced for their own good) they traveled together until Lumine got into contact with the Abyss Order, and became the Abyss Princess.

She tells Aether that the world of Teyvat isn't a nice/safe space, and that she'll find him when she's taken over Celestia. That he's come too late, and that they've always had enough time.

He continues searching through Teyvat with Paimon, saving nations and talking to Archon's who don't tell him even the finest bit of information about his sister, until they reach Sumeru.

[For base knowledge, the known Archons are: Barbatos (Venti), God of freedom. Morax (Zhongli), God of contracts/commerce. Beelzebul (Raiden Ei), God of Eternity. Greater Lord Rukkhadevata (Sumeru's old God, who is dead during the current timeline of Genshin)/ Lesser Lord Kusanali (Nahida), God of wisdom. And Focalors (Furina), God of Justice.]

Nahida tells the traveler that Lumine is a part of Irminsul (basically government files) and that she belongs to Teyvat, which shouldn't be possible because Aether isn't a part of Irminsul, and they got to Teyvat the same way/time.

Nothing has been said about Lumine in Fontaine (the newest reigon) so that's basically it.

Jus a disclaimer that somethings might not be 100% accurate, I typed all this from the top of m head (0^ ^0) hopefully this helps though!!

f you're confused about anythin' m always here t'answer!! :33

ty! i appreciate the help. bc omg that game is so fucking complicated.

what about fontaine lore in general? and also, i keep getting different reasons as to why Khaenri'ah was destroyed. idk which one it is 😭

but ty! i do wonder what exactly is the abyss order? there's so many concepts i dont get 😖

[daggryet]

also fun cousin story while I'm at it taking a break from getting my ass beat: my cousin, who is a heterosexual woman with a fiance who she loves very much, is so gay for genshin women. it's hilarious

(I have two cousins, one's a gamer, the other one is not. this one is the one that's not)

she was going through archon quests (finally, girl's been playing longer than I have and was just not going through the storyline at all for some reason) and tartaglia (yknow one of the most popular guys of genshin) showed up.

and she was talking to me about it describing where she is in the quest and was like "so ningguang did her cool thing and the dragon fell and there was panic and I ran and then some fucking guy saved us idk". so funny. girl knows ningguang and yae miko but childe is just "some fucking guy".

I need to explain to her about guaranteed pulls so she can start saving up some primogems for yae miko she wants her so badly

- ❤💛

childe actually IS just some guy! i listened to the "hey girlie" clip the other day and just... That was the line that made people go feral? 😭 That??? i guess it did happen during covid but still. was very funny to have it built up by everyone i saw and then it ending up being... That.

and good for her only paying attention to ningguang! i too should have been blinded by gayness... I was suspicious of her at first when morax died, was just musing to myself "hmmm how convenient..." <- very sorry to miss ningguang for that

but yae miko! oh do i understand your cousin's pain, i went through regret for not pulling for her yesterday (even though i did not have any primos to really speak of at that time), hopefully we will both get her in her next rerun !! 🙏 also good luck with the explaining guaranteed pulling, when i told my sister she was just like "you sound like a gambler" which is not wrong, it's just not real money that's being used 😭

also thank you for the well wishes on tighnar, it is a pipe dream and ardous battle but i will prevail 🫡

do you have any characters you wanna pull for? with fontaine coming and all

[trashcanwithsprinkles]

when ur spouse says “i love you” but Ajax Tartaglia Childe 11th Harbinger of the Fatui quite literally:

met the love of his life in another reality, decided he didn’t want him to suffer or see his pseudo-sister/best friend die so he hatched a plan to prevent an eon long war thatd kill thousands of gods, MULTIPLE of which were Moraxs allies, successfully entered the abyss and found his master in another reality and recruited her to the cause, fought of a shade, held hands with morax after that (just a touch of affection for a treat), saved zhihao from the dream evil god guy, saved moraxs future son xiao which is now ajax and moraxs son that i guess they co parent with guizhong, then ajax proceeds to travel to snezhnaya and beat the shit out of celestial gods and get ANOTHER child and three random siblings that are actually his in another universe, bring them back to morax, make morax (unknowingly) fall in love with him, obtain cryo powers, then RETURN to snezhnaya with a kiss on the forehead, make it up to celestia after zephar threw a fit, get stuck up there, start a riot, then the Avengers of Teyvat come back him up (including his soon to be husband and basically sister in law (wait i cant remember if gui was there or not), as well as his kinda master), and they win that battle. AND MIGHT I ADD AFTER THAT, they then travel back to ajax’s own world to prevent Celestias attack on his world and inevitably the archon war as well, HE THEN REUNITWS WITH HIS REAL MASTER, TSARITSA, COWORKERS AND HIS BITCHADD FAMILY AND PROCEEDS TO KILL GOD,??? and then they all go back home.

and he does all this so morax doesn’t have to suffer the emotional turmoil of losing his friends. ajax did this for what he knew as a FICTIONAL character in a video game. bruh stopped an armageddon for his husband and didn’t think morax was gonna fall in love with him this man is denser than a metal ball i cannttttt 😭😭😭

anywYs super good chapter!!! i always laugh about this specific fic bc compared to the soulmate chili fic u posted it took like nearly 400k words to get them to realize they’re in love with eachother but it took like 130k ish in the soulmate one 💀💀 i’m so stoked for the next chapter. can’t wait for what ur cooking up!!!

you're right lmao 😭

i think the reason why things went so comparatively faster in itysg is bc zhongli was already 6000+ and childe was kind of faced with the idea that zhongli might want to marry him like- straight-up from the first couple of chapters, so like,,,,,,, coupled with the fact they know they're soulmates from the get-go, i think that kind of expedites his crisis to the next step hahah;;

and also bc in cyanide they spend most of the fic doing literally anything else so there's no time to question feelings lmao

but it's still very funny indeed;; i think cyanide is the longest i could possibly write it bc of all the shit they have to do that keeps them from thinking about it. you'd have to have an even longer plot or start their relationship from scratch (no interesting first impressions and no 'i know you from the game' ordeal, or even have them start as like- enemies, and slowly worky your way to friendship and then love)

but i really don't plan to write that, cyanide is i think on the longest spectrum of what i'm willing to go 💀

(catch me writing 600k next time, given my track record of not controlling what i write)

aaaa anyway thank you!! happy you're enjoying it!

[ilyuu-archive]

QUAAAAAK I'M DONE :D

Xiao is exhausted.

How can he not be? His thousand years of carrying a debt that is destined to consume him in the future bares down on him with no mercy. As the days pass he finds himself struggling to breathe, there are even days he can’t carry his spear to do his duties as a Yaksha. 

He’s tired of it all. But if there’s one thing he would never get tired of is your presence. Bright, calming, pure. Such a stark contrast to him, a being corrupted and tainted with sin.

He could see your lips curve upwards as you beckon him to join you. His hand reaches out to your serene figure, his fingers twitching to hold you, to be loved by you once more. He knows better than anyone else he’s undeserving of such a thing, but he can’t help but be selfish of it.

Xiao’s hand was close to touching your own, but your figure dissipated seconds before he could hold your hand.

Xiao soon realized it wasn’t you he was reaching out to, but death.

You are dead. Your life has ended long ago.

There were days he considered joining you in days his karmic dept was too hard to bear but ultimately decided not to. He still had a contract to uphold with Morax, as much as he wants to die he can’t. His mind also drifts back to the promise he made with you, to live his life despite the hardships and losses he may experience.

“Life may be filled with pain and despair, but there are also many opportunities for happiness Xiao” He remembers the exact words you spoke to him thousands of years ago, your loving expression having been engraved into his mind. Your view on life is so bright, so beautiful, he envied your mindset and wishes he could believe the same.

It was always the two of you in your home, a place so warm and inviting. There was never a moment his mind wandered back to the horrors of his past whenever he was around you. He finds himself wishing, praying, that this won't ever change.

But he should’ve learned by now, that the only constant in this world is that nothing is constant.

“NO! (Y/N)!” Xiao lets out an anguished cry as he sees the demon plunge its claws through your chest. The Yaksha forces his battered and bloody body to move and pierce his spear through the demon's body, screaming in anger and despair as he doesn’t stop stabbing the thing that took your life away.

Once he’s (somewhat) calmed down his eyes slowly look over your cold and unmoving body. His vision blurs as he limps to where you are and collapse on his knees, grabbing and holding you close to his heart.

“(Y/N), forgive me… I failed you…” He quietly says before sobbing silently. He gets no response, you must have died immediately from the demon's blow.

He could’ve saved you. He was capable enough to protect you and your home. Yet your home is demolished, and your life ended earlier than expected.

If only he was fast enough…

if only he didn’t leave you this morning..!

He thought about bringing your corpse to the Adepti and begging them to bring you back to life. But he stops himself. That would be too cruel to you, and who knows if you would still be yourself once you’re brought back to life.

So he decides to carry on with his life, despite it being a living nightmare.

But he keeps your words in mind. Despite life being full of pain, there are opportunities for happiness.

So he bares through this nightmare. So that maybe, just maybe, once it’s all over he can have a sweet dream.

I'm the anon that asked about the old hc about riding. Thank you for clarifying!! I completely understand and I look forward to seeing your new content as usual(As a Xiao fan the shadow creature au sounds really yummy I hope you continue it on this blog too)!! The "if he dies he dies" was part of the series name as I remember but maybe I'm recalling it incorrectly, sorry!!

no you’re right!!! that’s 100% what it was called, i just completely forgot about it until you brought it up again HDJDBSJDHDB it’s solely just me forgetting my own posts and fics. As usual 🙏😭 if you ask me about the plot of any fic i wrote prior to like, august 2020 i’ll blank bc there’s at least a 90% chance i haven’t read that fic since i posted it. save for proofreading, i don’t really reread my old work that often unless i’m referencing it for an additional/sequel work ie morax x fertility archon stuff

we’ll just have to see how things go c: ty for the support muah

OHHHH, YOU FINISHED DRAGONSPINE?!?!😱😱😍😍 CONGRATS, You're amazing!😂💃🏻💃🏻😂 Tbh, I haven't gotten around to playing for about a month now cause real life is MEAN😭 AND WHAAAAAAAT??? YOU GOT BENNY AND RAIDEN SHOGUN?!?!😱😱😱😱😱😱😍😍😍😍 CONGRAAAATTTSSS!!!💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Ohh, that reminds me, after my 50/50 loss of Xiao I'd been afraid of pulling for Zhongli but my friend convinced me to pull a few times and pulled for me and I freaking got Morax in 18 pulls😍🤣🙈(Btw, 3 messages again)

Thanks! =^_^= I'm SOOOO happy I never have to go deal with that stupid freezing cold ever again...

Aww, that sucks... To be honest, real life's been giving me loads of trouble too (Why is earning money so important, damnit?!) but I've been using a bit of time every day to get dailies done and inched my way to my goal while still somehow trying to write a sentence or two whenever I can... Who needs sleep...

THANK YOU!!! =^___^= Now to rush to Inazuma so I can ascend her to the highest possible level, lol. (Regarding Bennett, why does he have to use treasure hoarder insiginas to... He, Yanfei and Kaeya are forcing me to farm them and I don't like farming... T_T)

OOOOOO, CONGRATS TO YOU TOO!!! Haha, that means we both have one Archon each so that leaves Venti. I think his rerun banner is coming up in the next update but so is Ayaka's and I want her much more so I might save all my pimogems for her banner... Will you be aiming for anyone? Ayato's making his debut but... well, sorry big bro, your lil sis is the already established powerhouse so I'd rather get her instead. XP
