➸ featuring kamisato ayato

➸ cw: fluff to angst with no comfort; improper letter format; improper grammar; genshin spoilers if you’re not at inazuma yet; light humor; mentions of marriage and divorce; slight possessiveness (not in a yandere way); gender neutral; death; made-up dates bc genshin doesn’t give dates; slightly incorrect lore; lmk if i missed anything!

➸ pre-note: day three of my [letters for you] event! ngl this one was supposed to be just fluff. i guess i mistyped a few words (don’t come for me please)

“my lord! there’s a letter for you from [name]”

looking up from his desk, thoma didn’t fail to see ayato’s eyes light up. taking the letter and opening it, ayato asked, “their time in liyue is almost up, is it not?”

“indeed, they’re scheduled to arrive within the next three days if there was no delay.“

a soft smile spread across ayato’s face. 

“you may go, and let ayaka know i’ll be joining you guys for dinner.“

“of course, my lord.“

dear kamisato ayato,

have you averted your eyes from the parchment after seeing all my improperness? don’t roll your eyes at me darling, that’s my job. have you been doing well lately? by the time you receive this letter, i should be on my way home. it’s been a lonely year without you, but i’ve enjoyed my stay in liyue. the port city is busy day and night, and the food is just as delicious as rumors say. i’ve sent some recipes with this letter for you to enjoy.

i met lady ningguang during my stay. she’s quite beautiful if i do say so myself. shame that i’m already engaged to you. if you weren’t in inazuma, i would’ve filed a divorce the moment i saw her. net only is she beautiful, she’s also intelligent. those who work directly for are are nothing short of brilliant. i’ve already invited her to our wedding. i figured you wouldn’t mind, given how you can’t say no to me.

liyue aside, have you been taking care of yourself? listen to thoma and rest now and then. i can’t have my fiance collapsing before our wedding can i? if you must pass on early, at least make it after i become kamisato [name]. then all the clan assets will go to me. 

you better have rejected any marriage proposals while i’ve been gone. for the shogun’s sake, do they really not remember you’re mine? seems i’m gonna have to remind them what’s mine stays mine. look at you, probably smiling at my possessiveness. don’t act like you aren’t just as crazy for me dear.

i’ve heard rumors the shogun has started setting restrictions in her plan to pursue eternity. keep yourself safe alright? i’ll see you soon darling. love you!

“i’ll write to you so be sure to write back! take care darling.“

“only if you promise to do the same.“

placing a kiss on his mole then lips, you turn to board the ship. 

turning back one last time, you call out “i love you ayato!” 

“i love you too [name].“

who would’ve guessed that was the last time he’d see your face? his last time hearing you say i love you, feeling your gentle touch and warm lips against his?

october 7th, the almighty shogun raised her blade to the sky, declaring the commencement of the vision hunt decree. storm clouds met all those who tried to flee from ships, wrecking everything on the open waters. not a single ship that left survived. to the horror of the people, they realized that nothing would help them escape. and no one was allowed to enter. 

in his study, kamisato ayato slowly came to realize that no ships would survive such storms created by the archon. reality hit, and he could only cry silently in pain, knowing his fiance would never make it back alive.

eri’s notes!

          feels like i wasn’t clear on the last part sdkjfn reader’s ship was close to inazuma so it was caught in the storm and didn’t survive :( hah look at me being sad when i could’ve completely avoided that and let everything run smoothly
