“kill me and live with the memory” for fic title ask game!!

- mao (xiaowhore) ๑·̑◡･̑๑

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

(oml HI MAO!! how are youuu!! this screams xiao and i'm not Okay.)

everyone has heard of the conqueror of demons, the vigilant yaksha, the ever-watching guardian. for centuries he has protected these lands, and its people. liyue knows of his story; of the days he spends purging the city of contracts, protecting the borders and peace. he is who every parent says will appear in your dream if you're naughty. he is the one who guides lost souls when they depart. he is the will of rex lapis.

liyue knows his story. but they do not know his sacrifices.

they do not know of the blood on his hands, the blood of his people, his comrades, the soldiers he sent to their deaths as their general. they do not know of the young adepti that followed him to battle, that he broke bread with, that swore their lives to him, only to be cut down by his blade. general alatus, they would call him. general alatus, they would cry out.

liyue does not know of you, the bright archer under guizhong's command. liyue does not know of the moments he shared with you; the promises you swore to each other. liyue does not know of the way alatus dreamed of a someday, a forever, with you.

("after," he says, "after all this is over, let us live quietly. no more contracts, no more wars. just you and me."

you smile at him and alatus thinks that even celestia could be brought to its knees.

"yes," you take his hands, and it feels like coming home.

just you and me.)

liyue does not know that general alatus killed his someday, his forever, in some war-torn battlefield. they do not know of your final words, of the love in your eyes or the way he scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed until his skin was raw and bleeding but the feeling of your blood on his hands never faded.

liyue knows of his story, but xiao will forever live with his sacrifices.

THIS IS SO COOL THANK YOU FOR THE TAG ANNIE <33 (okay so...maybe i spent wayy too long on this too.)

ABOUT KAEDEHARA KAZUHA.

the first time we met was in liyue. as an ambassador of sumeru, passing through the port was unavoidable. the alcor had just docked and kazuha was amongst those who disembarked. who knew my boring diplomatic meeting would turn into an impromptu tea tasting adventure! 

ABOUT KAMISATO AYATO.

hah! the yashiro commissioner is a crafty one. i don't think i've ever met anyone quite like him and by the archons, am i grateful that none of the other commissioners are as skillful and adept in politics as he is. though, something tells me there is more to him than meets the eye.

ABOUT KAEYA ALBERICH.

the calvary captain is, by far, the most delightful drinking partner! i don't get to do it often because of those stick-in-the-mud scholars from the akademiya but during my visit to mondstadt, the captain gifted me a few bottles of dandelion wine and we decided to drink them all in the same night!

ABOUT SCARAMOUCHE.

he's dangerous — i could tell the moment he addressed me. it was at a blockade in snezhnaya, and the balladeer himself had come to escort my caravan. as an ambassador, i've met countless people, seen most of teyvat, been the subject of numerous abductions but none of them measure up to the what i felt in the presence of that harbinger.

ABOUT ALBEDO.

i was introduced to the chief alchemist at a state dinner. we exchanged pleasantries and a toast but the elusive genius alchemist quickly made himself scarce. what an interesting fellow...

ABOUT CHILDE.

now here is another harbinger i do not want to tousle with. these fatui...you never know what they're hiding behind those masks they call smiles. but from the rumours, i think this one is the most normal one.

ELEMENTAL SKILL.

at my signal!

beware the cold (laughs)

ELEMENTAL BURST.

dust of snow, hear my call!

time to skip the pleasantries!

LOW HP.

how dare you!

let's get serious then, hm

ALLY ON LOW HP.

get behind me!

akademiya be damned

WHEN IT'S SUNNY.

what a beautiful sky! maybe i should take a walk today...

new tag game! if this flops, pretend you see nothing lol

if your tumblr personality was a playable character in genshin, what would be your voiceline for:

about [insert your favorite character(s)]

elemental skill

elemental burst

low hp (yourself + ally)

when it's [insert your least favorite weather]

alternatively, it could be your oc, but i personally feel it's more interesting if you imagine yourself in this position lol

about zhongli

"listen. if zhongli has million fans - which is very likely, i mean if you stop and eavesdrop the ladies talking in liyue harbor, there's a 50:50 chance they're fangirling about a certain wangsheng funeral parlor - then i'm one of them.

if zhongli has one fan - less likely but okay whatever helps you sleep at night i guess - then i'm THAT ONE.

if zhongli has no fans, that means i'm dead and teyvat has collapsed on itself creating sentient monster that had single-handedly sucked in all life forms and the world as we know it has ended."

elemental skill

"*uncomfortable giggle* kindly fuck off, please and thank you!"

elemental burst

"*groans* oh my archons won't you just die already?!"

low hp

"no... i can't...... not before i see him.... just one last time........."

ally on low hp (specifically triggered when it's zhongli/xiao/kazuha)

"*scandalized gasp* HOW. FUCKING. DARE. YOU!!!!!!!"

when it's sunny

"no no no no! rain, come back, why have you forsaken me!!! *whines*"

Undying Depths

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

(hmmm this feels like a childe bait and i have unfortunately fallen for it.)

in which childe has died. but not really. it's a weird spot and he's not sure what's going on. 

he wakes up the same way he’s done for years, drinks the same jasmine tea he does every morning, shrugs on his jacket, fastens his knifes and he’s out the door  — the same way he’s done for years. 

but somehow today feels different. the old lady with the kites doesn’t sneer at him and chef mao doesn’t have his pork bun order ready for pick up. in fact, childe doesn’t know if either of them even heard him. 

it isn’t until ekaterina looks straight through that he realises that something is definitely wrong. he tries again, this time pulling at nadia hood but she doesn’t even flinch. all day, childe tries to get someone, anyone’s attention and he almost cries in relief when the director of wangsheng funeral parlour stops and grins at him. 

“ah ha! now isn’t this a curious sight! it seems like you’re in quite the predicament.” 

[sohyuki]

Faithless Divinity

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

in which ei meets the ambassador of mondstadt and learns about what it means to be free.

mondstadt, moon city, the land of the anemo archon. she's heard of it, never been to it though. back then, makoto was the one that would attend the gathering of the archons. ei knows her role as a kagemusha well enough but that didn't stop her from pestering her sister about the other gods and their lands.

mondstadt, to her knowledge, is free will embodied. it is by their archon's will that they govern themselves. maybe that is why barbatos is the weakest, is what she first thinks because not all pray to him. some have strayed from the path of worship, choosing instead to believe in their own will. blasphemy, she thinks. but then she meets you.

you're proud, straightforward and one of many people who do not believe in the divine. even as she, a god, stands before you, you don't bat an eyelash. she asks you why: why do you not believe in us, in the gods? and you tell her it's not that you don't believe, it's that you don't hope. the gods have done nothing for you because you are just one person amongst the crowds on their people. why would they and why would you hope that they do when you can make it so yourself.

ei is a god, an archon, a servant of celestia. she's seen and done things your puny little brain couldn't possible comprehend. but when you smile at her from over the rip of your cup, she thinks you might be the most divine thing she'll ever seen.

[sohyuki]

Song of A Fallen Hero

-Sherry

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

(HMMM okay this one is definitely a hard one but let's give it a go!)

news from the tenshukaku is scarce, if there is news at all. the raiden shogun is elusive at best, absent at worst. but that changes the day the streets of inazuma city whisper about a duel. how this concerns a common waitress is beyond you but people chatter and recount the most absurd stories: from being there in person, to being the one that fought the shogun herself. you try not to think much of it.

all that changes when a wounded samurai breaks into your house, tiredly pleading, when you raise a flower pot to defend yourself, for "just a few moments....just a few moments to myself is all i need."

you let him, because though he doesn't say a word after, his eyes speak of a grief you will never know (not yet, at least) you give him a moment, and then a few hours, and then a day, a week, and it's on the ninth day when he comes out from your spare room to lay a bag of mora in your hands.

"for the accomodation...and for your silence."

you notice the haphazardly wrapped bandage of his left hand and think to offer proper care, but he's walking towards the door before you can say anything.

"you were there, weren't you!" you say, stumbling through the genkan. "you were at the duel, the one everyone is talking about. is that the reason for your wound? did you...did you fight her?"

he flinches, and breathes out a pained sigh. "no, it wasn't i that challenged her excellency. it was...someone very dear to me."

and then you say the only thing you can think of, the only thing you think might convince him to stay. because this man is tired and hurt and grieving silently and you want him to know that there's still good in world.

"tell me. tell me about them"

“i love you & i have to live with that” fic title ask game !!

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

(tien why do you keep sending enemies to lovers titles 🤨🤨 are you trying to send me a signal or sumn????)

in which ayato wakes up to blood on his apartment floor and peonies in his throat.

kamisato ayato knows you like the back of his hand: your favourite milkshake order, the brew of your tea, the way you like to have dessert before your meals. you’ve been friends for ages. heck, ayato considers you family so why? why do peonies litter his floor? why does the very thought of you send him into a coughing fit? why, why, why, why 

he calls thoma in a frenzy and barely gets through a sentence. it doesn’t take more than half an hour for thoma to rush through his front door with a panicked expression. his face only drops further when he sees the splatters of blood and strewn flower petals.

“peonies. they’re...peonies. there’s only one person we know who -”

“don’t say it.”

“you love them.” 

[sohyuki]

(for the fic title ask meme) 'sonnet of the sunken' :3

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

(ooo this was a tough one!)

before she was captain beidou, the uncrowned lord of the ocean, she was beidou, the orphan from mingyun village. her days were spent crashing through the endless canverns and mountains, climbing the highest peaks of liyue to taste the sun-sweet waterfalls, and besting the village hotshot, ningguang.

beidou, the orphan from mingyun village, never thought she'd ever be the savior to a lost siren because as far as she's concerned, sirens are (or, were because you're staring expectantly at her, and she's losing herself to the depth laden in your eyes) myths. mere fables that storytellers used to enrapture an audience: a lone sailor and his songstress; a mysterious song and a ship-wrecked crew; the shine of scales, the glint of alluring eyes.

but here you are, no scales in sight but the stories do no justice to the wonders in your eyes. you haven't spoken a word to her yet but she knows, somehow, somewhere, that the moment you do, beidou, the orphan from mingyun village will be as dead as the sailors you keep in your cove.

[sohyuki]

To Quell the Unheard

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

(ooooo i am loving these titles!!)

in which you are an travelling exorcist that specializes in absolving the souls of the fallen and childe is the idiot that accidentally angers said souls.

at first he doesn't realise he's been cursed but when his hands start to phase through objects and when the sensation of taste and smell are lost to him, childe loses his shit. he visits zhongli first, explaining the entire situation "theoretically". zhongli knows what's up but plays along and the two then visit baizhu because childe is convinced he's dying.

("it can't be poison, i've been building my immunity to most known poisons for years. maybe it's something new? or maybe...fuck, did i forget to bandage a wound? but that doesn't explain my hands literally phasing through that spoon earlier! xiansheng, am i dying?!"

"why don't we go to bubu pharmacy? dr. baizhu might have something for your...aliment.")

childe then meets you, the very annoyed and very angry exorcist that claims he's been cursed because "they told me, you idiot!"

(he thinks you're insane but zhongli seems to agree with you.)

and thus begins your adventures with tartaglia, no.11 of the fatui harbingers, in the hopes of trying to appease whatever soul he offended and to stop him from fading into nothing!

[sohyuki]

ig maybe bc of your theme but ur blog has the vibes of a geocities site archived on wayback machine! (/pos) it gives the vibes of somewhere novel, authentic and fun where the owner enjoys just expressing themselves or sharing bits of their life without conceding to the pressure to curate or appear effortless, as is with most of the internet these days :3

VII!!! I AM BEYOND FLATTERED BECAUSE THAT IS THE VIBE I WAS GOING FOR AAAA :((( ilu (and thank you for saying that <333)

what vibe does my blog give off?

[sohyuki]

HEY BABE! how abt "ephemeral" for the fic title game? :D

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

in which mint and karma spend their days in marital bliss

a short look into the infinite life of zhongli and the finite life you spend together. it is a snippet in the long life of morax, a time where he comes to know love, peace, happiness and then loss. because just as a flower wilts and withers, life is ephemeral when looking through the eyes of a god. 

(babe...i might steal this plot...it is looking Juicy) 

[sohyuki]

Lovers in Starlight

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

in which you are a fallen star and mona is the astronomer that charts your journey across the skies. it starts with her sensing a ripple in her divination, the same ripple she left when leonard's constellation fell. it starts with mona digging through all her books, ripping through her notes to find out who.

(another constellation? it can't be. there shouldn't be another one.

so who is this.)

it continues with mona studying the path of your descent, watching the sky each night for the briefest flicker of starlight. it continues with mona, marking every spot she thinks you'll fall to, every cliff and reef and plain. it continues with you, descending onto the ice peaks of dragonspine, only to be met with a wide-eyed witch who looks at you the same way lovers look at the moon.

it ends with mona and you, saying goodbye at those same ice peaks because stars do not belong on earth.

(acco how tf are you so fast???)

[sohyuki]

ohohohoh this looks so interesting but also could be my undoing... (thank you also to @tofuthoma​ the tag) buckle up everyone, there is a LOT.

WIP GAME

Rules:

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it!

And then tag as many people as you have wips.

(You can make your own post or reblog this one!)  I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? Dnd campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

thank you @reneneedtodie for the tag. i decided to cut the thread because it was getting too long 🥺💔

also this list is yelling at me to finish all my shit

Rapture of Sex

cliché but "until death do us apart"

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

(NOT CHICHÉ ANON BECAUSE I LITERALLY HAD A DRAFT WITH THIS TITLE- can't remember what it was for though so im in tears)

in which you are a mercenary assigned with the (impossible) task of killing the head of the ragnvindr clan but the only way you even have the chance of getting close is through the spouse selection held at the end of winter.

diluc ragnvindr, you note, doesn't want to be here any more than you do. he's blunt, uninterested and you're pretty sure one of the candidates left in tears. all in all, this isn't looking to be a good idea.

when it's your turn, diluc is still blunt and uninterested. you don't expect this to be one of those romance novels you've heard about, where the love interest falls deeply in love at first sight and they live happily ever after, the end! no, this isn't a romance novel so diluc ragnvindr doesn't fall in love with you at first sight but you do spend the longest time with him.

you talk (mostly bickering though) and he tells you about his cecelia garden and you tell him about the place you used to call home, all while trying not to blow your cover because you're not a noble like diluc was lead to believe and you don't have an "enchanting" estate by the sea and you don't have a loving mother and father.

you leave the ragnvindr manor feeling no different than when you came. so when a letter of marriage proposal arrives at your doorstep, you think that maybe there might be more to diluc ragnvindr than meets the eye.

[sohyuki]

OH OH WHAT ABT "KILLS AND KISSES"

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

(SPYXFAM AU SPYXFAM AU)

when your agency ships you off to the hostile nation of inazuma with an assignment that only instructs you to do whatever you have to do keep the world at peace, you don't bat an eyelash. why? well, because this is what you signed up for.

what you didn't sign up for was the little note at the end that said "get a spouse, make a baby!"

a spouse? a baby? you've never even kissed before, what do they mean baby! the universe must have pitied you (or could be having the time of its life with your lack of experience in humanly relationships) because in comes a tiny girl with an uncanny ability to know exactly what you're thinking and a wandering samurai with too much snark, eyes the shade of bale thunder and a mysterious past.

you're not sure if this is a blessing in disguise or a disaster in the making. but one thing's for sure, there is never a dull moment when the three of you are together.
