♡ Furina

-we all know how she's not one of the best cooks. so, you being one makes it a bit better.

-still, if you wanted to cook WITH her, then the food would probably just have to be macaroni.

-not gonna judge, i love it js as much as she does.

-you decided to get prepared one day, to cook together, and prepare a meal for one another!

-although you know that the only options you had were macaroons and macaroni, where she only had one option.

-so you started cooking macaroons.

-it is always SO fun to cook with her. she's always smiling and talking with you, talking about the most random things ever.

-of course, if you don't like talking much, she'll talk less but not be quiet entirely.

-know that you're gonna get a few kisses during the tiem being.

-and when you finally finish both of your meals, and prepare them for eachother, furina literally has a new shine in her eyes.

-when she tried it, she mumbled something that she thought you wouldn't hear

-"i don't care. this is my new favorite food."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

✿ Sucrose

-she's like noelle, so i think you get the point what she'd be like.

-whatever you'd cook for eachother, she'd like it. and the other way around.

-the cooking experience with her is very calming, too.

-you might chit-chat about something randomly but know that it's mostly quiet with the sounds of nature from outside.

-if you liked to talk a lot tho, she had no problem of listening to your pretty voice while she cooked something for you.

-you made a cheesecake for her!

-setting the table together, and finally sitting down to try the food.

-whatever she made you, it was really decorated and the only thing that you knew that it was some type of cake.

-and she recognized that your's is a cheesecake almost immediately.

-when she tried it, she started talking to you, blushing a bit, about how much she's grateful for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

✧ Arlecchino

-i'm pretty sure this isn't too ooc

-now, what i know is that she's definitely a great cook.

-i mean, she's a 'father', a parent to her children, of course she knows how to cook!

-so you had no problems asking her to cook with her. you knew that the kitchen wouldn't be burned down. hopefully.

-alright, you start cooking something that everyone likes, cupcakes! but the ones that you were able to make for her were cherry ones!

-arlecchino wasn't entirely quiet throughout the cooking either. it was either you or her talking with some kisses that can't be missed. she talked about her kids and her missions, while you either talked about her work in return, or about why you still love her despite it all.

-when you finish cooking and come to the dinner table with her, there's not much reaction on her face yet, unlike your's which was clearly happy.

-she made you cinnamon rolls!

-(i'm sorry if it's something you don't like)

-when she tried the cherry cupcake, you got a smirk from her.

-"you're a good cook, pretty girl."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

✯ Navia

-this girl will make you the best food ever. she will take this activity very seriously with you.

-usually, you'd think that maybe the conversations that you'd have throughout the process very little, but that's not the case.

-she would talk with you the whole time.

-"i remember once when i was little..."

-"do you remember when i..."

-"can you pass me the sugar?"

-you get the point.

-of course, she won't miss the chance to give you a few kisses.

-and finally when you cooked eachother the "special food", turns out the both of you made macaroons for eachother.

-that just resulted in a laugh from you both as you now started talking about whose are better.

-she said yours were better.

-but you denied and said the opposite.

-however you look at it, cooking with her is a great experience to not only get to know eachother better, but also just for the fun of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello there! I hope your day is going well, but if not I hope it gets better dude!!!🤗

I wanted to know if it’s alright to request an idea for sagau? Like I might make a post about this but I always thought it would be cool to have y/n retain some realistic features even though they isekai into tevat!

Like for example; the hair being more textured, shines in reflection , the way they would have different shades and saturation throughout the skin, they way how your touch feels ‘real’ or different, oh and ur eyes, oh how the characters could look how your pupils reflects, etc.

Idk I always thought if I were to make and character of mine or y/n still retaining little features they had back their own world seem kind of cool and interesting to think how people would react to it!

Even better is if they don’t know you’re the ‘creator’ of their reality and they were only able to hear your voice and how you express yourself!!

Anyways sorry for making this so long 🥲 I’m just kind of curious on how you or others would feel on this idea 💡

Unique differences

Gender neutral reader, ideas TW/CW: sagau Character(s): Some characters from Mondstadt Word count: 608 Proofread: n/a | The differences you hold is what makes you unique, so special, lovable. | A/N: hello! I hope this fits your tastes..? might have a part two if i manage to find some more ideas!

Taglist: @chaoffee

When you arrive you probably don’t know why some random citizens look at you with such amazed, perplexed gazes, with you likely thinking there’s something on your face that you don’t know was there.

You’re also slightly confused why the hilichurls don’t attack when you’re an inch near them, and why the slimes seem to be more docile, why you barely manage to see abyss mages– everything’s odd.

If you arrive near Mondstadt, Amber is the first one to find you and lead you towards the headquarters of the knights of Favonius, but she definitely notices something different with you. You haven’t spoken yet, so she doesn’t know who you really are, perhaps, you’re like the traveller, she thinks.

But when you properly introduce yourself to Jean and the others the whole knights that are in the headquarters, such as Albedo, Sucrose, Kaeya, Lisa, perhaps Eula, gather around you, murmuring to themselves that you’re 99% the creator that they’ve only ever heard, and you’re just standing there. 

With your voice, the different, more dynamic and ‘lively’ look that you have seemed to make more sense–your eyes held the shine and reflection of their own appearance, your skin seemed to be much softer… and you assume that you’ve managed to retain some realer features you had in your original world.

Don’t worry, don’t fret, they love you with or without differences. Even if you weren’t the creator, Mondstadt welcomes you with open arms.

Best to say now the whole of Mondstadt finally knows their creator’s here in their region.

While Albedo knows that you are the creator, he can’t help but wonder if he can try to run some tests–he doesn’t want to hurt you, he just has an infinite curiosity ridden area in his mind.

Same goes for Sucrose too, but she doesn’t want to come off as rude or disrespectful, so she only holds these curiosities within her, oftentimes writing this in her journal, it’s not creepy, I promise.

Jean finds your presence nice, but more than others, it feels as if you’re like a safe haven for her with only just your presence, and you can visibly see her tired eyes brighten up when you pat her head for her hard work.

For Lisa, she also holds some questions for you, though she’d rather stay where she is, watching and hearing you enthusiastically talk about the books and literature in your world in the library.

Diluc wishes he was the person to find you first and lead you to Mondstadt– his feelings towards the knights of Favonius may be neutral and slightly, very slightly bad, but he’s still grateful that you managed to arrive safely. If you manage to visit Angel’s Share often, he’s somehow always there, wiping a glass or two.

Kaeya’s teasing his brother. No hard feelings though! Just pure friendly sibling rivalry. But when you’re near, his charismatic face fades as he’s rendered to someone yearning for affection–it’s adorable.

Same goes for Eula. She’s not often seen in Mondstadt due to her… ‘status’, but when you welcome her with open arms and no judgemental gaze, she feels… so appreciated. She’s barely felt this before other than in the knights of Favonius, but this… feels more different, warm, loving.

Venti’s elated, often like him a majority of times, but for him, he feels the joy that he’s never felt before–it’s pure, unadulterated joy that stems from his chest, as his mind fills with endless pure and innocent praise and lyrics for you with his lyre. The weather in Mondstadt seems to be more light, a refreshing breeze whenever Venti’s with you for some reason…

Genshin Girls When You Have Crushes on Eachother!! Highschool AU

Genre: Fluff <3

Reader: Gender neutral | Reader is a little oblivious in Furina’s and Yae Miko’s part

Characters: Yae Miko, Kujou Sara, Keqing, Furina, Sucrose

Yae Miko-

Thought you were the cutest little thing when she saw you on the first day of the new school year. She’s quick to make her move! Befriends you and not too soon after, confesses. She can’t help it! You think she’s just messing with you when she flirts with you. And who can blame you? First, y’all just met a couple weeks ago, and second, poor you can’t even tell if she’s serious or not with that shit-eating smirk on her face.

Yae Miko does nothing to qualm your concerns. She just likes your reactions too much. Your confused and flustered face brings her much satisfaction. You’ve turned into her piece of amusement and she doesn’t want to let you go!

She teases you so so much and you can’t understand if she actually has feelings for you or if she’s just playing with your heart! She really likes you though. Its just that she sees no problem in taking her time with you. She wants to study your reactions and really see what she can do that flusters you the most! In reality, she’s trying to treasure you, hence why she’s taking it slow, but you don’t need to know that do you?

She’s hot and cold with you but never too cold that you lose interest, just enough so she can see that frustrated look on your face.

But one day it got too much for you! You tell her whatever is going on between you two- if there’s anything between you two cause heavens you can’t figure her out- that it’s too confusing for you :(! Yae Miko didn’t think you’d break so easily, but she’s happy nonetheless. She wanted to take things a step further soon! Really wanted to be able to hold your hand and kiss you. But she tells you that she’ll explain everything in due time and leaves you stranded, but not without a kiss to your cheek and flirty wink!

On the weekend, she calls you up asking if you have a spare hour or two to hit the park. Tells you it’s an emergency and you come running thinking she might be in danger!

You come to her rescue at the park only to find a handmade banner tied between two trees and in writing asking, ‘will you go out with me?’ The cherry on the top was the pink haired girl standing beneath the banner with a bouquet of flowers.

Your eyes swell up a little. After weeks of back and forth from her, she finally gave you a clear answer. “Told you it was an emergency.” She says and she grabs you by the arm. She brings you into her arms and holds you in a big hug. “What do you say? Will you make me a girlfriend?” She asks while patting your head and she pulls away to look at you and well.. she already knows the answer from your face ;).

P.S. She had a whole day planned with you, from the park to the movies and dinner!

Kujou Sara-

Doesn’t catch herself falling for you until she’s already madly obsessed! She starts to look at (stalk) your socials, swears it’s not cause she wants to look at you but just to protect you from online haters! You quickly become the thing she thinks about the most, from right into the middle of the night to the early mornings when she wakes.

You start to notice the dark haired women popping up around you coincidentally! (She totally learned your schedule.) But Sara tells herself that she’s just there to keep you safe really (and to see your precious little smile!) She keeps her cool and calm demeanor around you, but she can’t quite look you in the eyes when she talks. She ties your shoelaces and holds doors open for you! Follows you around to the bathroom and to your car until you tell her it’s time for you to go home </3.

She starts to carry your backpack, pencil pouch, water bottle, basically everything you own. When you finally ask her why she goes through the trouble of carrying your stuff ontop of her own, she answers without thinking! Says something along the lines that a cutie like you shouldn’t be carrying such heavy stuff! Sara doesn’t realize the gravity of what she just said until she looks towards you since you’ve gotten quiet… and she’s met with the shyest look she has ever seen of yours!

Sara immediately wants to drop everything and take a picture of you, but instead you guys just walk to class in silence. Sara musters the courage to hold your hand and when she feels you give a little squeeze to her hand back, her heart skips a thousands beats! (she still living though lol.) The walk to your class is long, but it feels so short when you’re at your class door and Sara gives you back your stuff. Sara doesn’t know what comes over her as she asks you out!

“Are you free this friday?” She leans over the door looking at you as a light blush dusts her cheeks.

You nod, “please text me the details,” Sara, stunned, can’t believed you agreed. The bell rings, indicating it’s time for class as you head inside, but not without looking back to see if Sara is still there. “Sara!” You giggle. “You’re going to be late.”

“I already am, so let me look at you while I can.” Sara replies and you can’t help but wonder if Sara has always been such a smooth flirt! You finally head in, but not without the enticement of your date this friday and potentially your new girlfriend!

P.S. Sara cannot hide her feelings for you when you guys start dating so eventually the whole school knows y’all are together. Don’t worry though, she deals with the homophobes for you too <33!

Keqing-

Immediately notices how she feels differently around you from day one. Can’t really handle these feelings so tries avoiding you for a little to see if they die down, but she ends up just missing you even more!

She caught feelings for you once she sat next to you in class and heard you laugh. It’s such a simple thing, but Keqing got herself thinking how she wants to make you laugh more and hear all your different kinds of giggles and chuckles! She got shy at her own imagination and put her head down so you wouldn’t see her heated up cheeks! Little does she know you caught the red of her ears instead >;).

But even though you notice the red on her face when she looks at you and how she starts talking to you all fast now, no progress is made :(! Keqing is still quite the studious girl. She’s worried that you’ll become the biggest distraction ever from her studies! She uses that as an excuse to avoid you, but much to her demise, when you find her in the library that she’s studying in, and pull up a chair beside her, all that homework and those upcoming tests she thought about are now out of sight and out of mind!

She gives up on her little ploy to avoid you and decides she just has to manage her time better to be beside you! You guys take it slow for a while, it’s mainly stolen secret glances at each other that lead to you guys making eye contact sometimes where you both quickly break away but then look back to see if the other is still looking. Or its bad flirting between you two that always ends up in silence and with someone heated up in the face, but eventually… as both your feelings build up and up to its climax, you two practically burst!

Keqing and you can’t hold it in your hearts anymore. You’re both tired of waiting for the other person to make the move, so on one night when you both are out late at a cafe working on a school project. You two are sitting next to each other instead of across, and all of a sudden the cafe turns quiet with a slow song spewing in the background. You both look at each other, wanting to say something about the sudden silence, but instead you realize that the dinning room is left with only the two of you in it and that it makes you feel like it’s only you and her on the planet. You lean in a little.. she leans back.. you guys nudge noses.. she cups your face.. and you cup her neck.. you’re looking into each others eyes.. and then down to each others lips.. when you close your eyes and feel something soft on top of your mouth you realize you had the perfect first kiss!

P.S. You guys were definitely not alone. There’s always someone interrupting what would be the best kiss scene ever in the movies, and now it was your turn to feel that frustration first hand. Like its so homophobic for your waitress to interrupt y’all… (kidding I used to be a waitress and would hover over straight couples going at it like animals (T_T) with their food burning my hand off </3)

Furina-

Doesn’t want to admit she has a crush on you. Denies it so hard and challenges herself to talking to you without turning red! When that doesn’t work well she takes things to the next level…

She starts to make fun of you to prove to herself that she doesn’t really like you. She reminds herself that she’s doing the right thing because she thinks this where you are… beneath her. But after a particular moment when she went too far… she sees the hurt eyes and forlorn face of yours. All of sudden it doesn’t feel so good anymore when she feels like she’s the reason you’re crying! She exclaims that it’s your fault you can’t take a joke and runs away.

It’s not until an outside force (probably Neuvillette or Clorinde) who tells her that she’s acting awfully like an elementary girl with feelings… that Furina snaps. She’s no child and knows how to deal with her feelings! Do note her progress with how instead of denying her feelings for you now when called out, she’s denying thats she’s too immature to handle them. Furina decides to herself that you must be the sole person in this whole wide vast universe that is worthy of her affection.

So the next day at school she’s holding flowers, chocolates, and a big teddy bear with an ‘I’m Sorry’ sign on its belly, and you can’t help but think it’s another one of her mean pranks! When you run away from her and her gifts Furina doesn’t throw a tantrum that you didn’t accept her love, no, she grows even more determined to win your heart!

The game of cat and mouse begins as Furina keeps thinking you’re just playing hard to get! But the longer the chase plays out the more confused you get. Why would someone who made fun of you try to win you over all of sudden? ‘No, this must be another prank!’ Is what you thought until Furina seems at the end of her ropes.

It’s been a month of Furina trying to win you over and she starts to thinks it might just not be meant to be. The last time she tries to capture your heart isn’t with her bombarde of gifts, it’s her just walking up to you after school and asking if you’d go on one date with her. She ignores the confused look on your face as she tells you this is her last chance of trying to win you over and if you really don’t like her then she’ll leave you alone for good.

“Go out with me this weekend and if at the end you admit you’ve had enough, I’ll let you be.” Furina tells you direct and bold but also tired. She’s at the end of her line and you don’t notice the eye bags under her eyes or her messy hair. She has been staying up late these nights thinking of the perfect ultimatum to give you!

You, however, are still confused at what she means by ‘date,’ still not caught onto her feelings just yet. But it doesn’t sound like a bad idea as she promises to leave you alone after.

So you agree, and Furina’s face starts to light up again! She’s lost a lot of sleep over you, constantly thinking about how to win you over but she finally did it! She tells you to get ready by 10 am this saturday and she’ll pick you up.

Furina ends up taking you to the mall. She talks about random things going on in the world until she mentions a thing you both have in common! You forget about all the past teasing for a second as you geek out on this specific thing you like and realize that this isn’t as bad as you thought. The date goes really well and at the end of it Furina’s shown a lot of maturity in the past couple hours. You realize that maybe she does really have feelings for you and you consider them in your head. But when Furina pulls back to your house and she looks a little scared.

She parks on the curb of your house and looks you in the eye. “I know I said I’d leave you alone if you went on a date with me and didn’t like it, but… if by the slim chance you did.. then can I..?” She hesitates at the end and feels like she might’ve been asking for too much from you to be your girlfriend. But she doesn’t want to lose you.

So when you throw your arms around her and promise that you’ll really consider her feelings, Furina almost turns the whole car upside down! Even though she didn’t ask you out yet, that promise means a lot to her!

P.S. And when you finally accept her feelings… then congratulations, you now have a bratty little cat named Furina on your hands!

A/N: Read Furina as your girlfriend here!

Sucrose-

Is just a complete mess around you <3. But even though she embarrasses herself a lot around you, she just can’t find it within herself to pull away from you!

When you smile at her, call her name, or do anything remotely friendly to her, she goes into shock a little and immediately hides behind her bangs! When you talk to her, her eyes gleam but is a stuttering mess in response. She beats herself up about not being more chilled out around you :(.

You’re going to have to be the one to take notice of her feelings because she needs a little encouragement to confess. Originally you thought she was just a little shy (or your resting bitch face was kicking in and intimidated her..) But even after a while, she remains as flustered as she is around you. This leads you think there might be another reason to her shy behavior.

You straight up just ask if you’re doing something wrong and Sucrose immediately wonders as to where you came to that conclusion. You tell her that you want to get closer to her but you feel like she might be scared of you. Sucrose realizes how her shy demeanor can come off as a fearful one, and is quick to deny your concerns! However, she holds herself back from putting her feelings of you into words. Sucrose wants to confess her feelings once she musters enough courage to do so! But when you ask her what you can do to make her more comfortable around you, Sucrose just can’t contain it anymore!

She gets frustrated. Why are you so nice? And why do you have to make this so hard? She mentions that she can’t tell you the reason now, but that she will soon! Sucrose quickly walks away before you can refute.

In a couple days, Sucrose walks up to you. Looking at her feet but not without a letter in her hand extended out to you. “It’s for you…” She mutters as you grab the paper from her hands and your fingers brush against each other. “Oh really? Thanks let me open-“ Just before you can open the paper, Sucrose is quick to cut you off. “No, please look at it when I’m not here!” She finally looks at you in the eyes and you can’t deny her with the desperate look on her face. After you agree, she calms down and class continues like normal.

Once the school day ends though, you read the letter filled with pretty little handwriting as your eyes quickly skim it down. In writing, Sucrose is apologizing for worrying you for thinking that she didn’t like you. She quickly tells you it was the exact opposite case! You read how she likes you so so much that she can’t handle herself getting nervous in front of you and your heart swells! She does apologize wayy too much in the letter for the dumbest things like not being able to tell you this in person and burdening you with her feelings which makes you a little mad as to why she’d apologize for something so human. But you feel the passion written behind each and every letter! You anxiously try to find her and you’re glad she finally felt comfortable enough to tell you this.

You’re trying to find Sucrose but she’s no where to be seen! She very much so ran away after handing you the letter, not wanting to see your reaction. But you scramble around the school looking for her through the mass hallway filled with students leaving the campus. You remember that she’s in the Science Fair and head to her club and low and behold there she is. She’s helping a student with a project and man are you piped to see her. She looks so pretty as she tucks a piece of hair behind her ears and pushes her glasses up looking at the fake volcano she was helping with!

But there is no time to admire her beauty, you run over to her, breathless and Sucrose looks as if she’s seen a ghost! You ask to speak to her in the hall and drag her by the arm before she can decline. You don’t waste another second as you pop the question, “Will you be my girlfriend?” And Sucrose looks as if she might pass out from excitement? Relief? Happiness? You’re not sure as to what, but are more than happy to see her reaction. “Well… is that a yes or a-“

“Yes a hundred thousand percent yes!” This is the loudest you ever heard her speak and she runs into your arms! But her excitement turns into needlessly worry. “Oh I’m sorry! I was just so happy that-“ Before she can pull away from the hug completely you interrupt her.

“We really need to work on that apologizing habit of yours…” You sigh into her neck as you tighten your arms and Sucrose eventually lets herself relax in your embrace.

You finally found the answer to your new girlfriends shy behavior around you! And that answer has led to a newly blossoming love!

P.S. I bet Sucrose gives the best hugs ;-;

A/N: screaming crying and sobbing… where’s my gf?????

[joking-suggestions]

pining after albedo would include:

rosaria warning you up that you shouldn't trust the chief alchemist this easily because he's "much more than what he let's see." beware, she is monitoring all of your hangouts together. she could much possibly be worried for you.

kaeya teasing you and albedo, asking you subtle things and alluding to your implicit bond. he knows. and maybe he likes to see both of you frustrated.

diluc puzzled by how you two act together, exchanging complicity glances to kaeya, who looks rather amused. has the chief alchemist ever been so intimate with anyone before?

jean shocked by how albedo becomes a totally different person when he's with you. she'd discuss that with lisa, at first kind of worried for albedo mental health.

lisa would be another person who would tease the hell out of you, but she'd allude to your romance in a more open way.

amber gossiping with eula and sometimes directly alluding that you two would make a cute couple.

Klee loving you and often asking to you or albedo if you actually are in love with each other. she'd love if you actually got together and often sketches you two together. or she forces you to play rather embarrassing such the Knight who has to rescue the Prince or the married couple. maybe she's doing it on purpose for helping her brother, who knows. after all, she'd be the first rooting after you.

sucrose and timeous worried because lately their master looks on cloud nine. he's totally changing behaviour when you're around. they probably made a bet about who's going to ask out who first.

mona being slightly jealous. she'd be kind of reluctant to talk with you at a first. tough she'd start to menage it over time.

[nian-7]

Hello good morning / good night! could i request a Hc of Genshin women's reaction to receiving flowers from their s/o ? (if possible Fem!reader please). I already thank you in advance :) , feel free to delete !

hi! this sounds cute, please enjoy

Various Genshin Women x reader

✧their reaction to receiving flowers

✧fluff, genshin male ver

She's surprised to say the least. It wasn't something that she was expecting to see when she arrives home. She's very thankful that you thought of her and bought her some beautiful flowers! She accepts them gratefully and will put them as the center piece on a table.

-Eula, Jean, Ningguang, Kokomi, Yun Jin, Ayaka, Nilou

She's happy! She loves the flowers you picked out and will cherish them for as long as she can. She takes extremely well care of them and is disappointed when she has to get rid of them because they've hit the end of their life span. She absolutely loves them and will put them on display and mention how you had gotten them for her.

-Collei, Yoimiya, Beidou, Hu Tao, Xinyan, Amber

The poor girl is a little flustered that you had gotten her a gift! Why didn't you tell her before? She would have gotten you something as well! She really does like them though and will always think of you whenever she sees those flowers now! Not that she wasn't thinking of you before, of course.

-Sucrose, Ganyu, Ayaka, Kuki, Layla

I mean, of course you got her a gift. Why wouldn't you? Whether this be her thought process to protect her own ego, to hide the butterflies inside her, or even just to poke fun at you before thanking you for them, she really does like the gift! No matter what type of flower it is, she thinks it was very thoughtful of you to get her a gift while you were out!

-Yae, Lisa, Mona, Fischl, Faruzan, Hu Tao, Yelan

She has a neutral expression for the most part. You can't tell if she doesn't like it or if she isn't sure how to react. At this point, you might as well ask but, before you can she thanks you. A small smile appears on her face (possibly accompanied by a small blush forming on her cheeks) as she looks at you.

-Rosaria, Shenhe, Ei, Sara, Kuki

please do not repost any of my work without my permission, thank you for reading.

MONDSTADT: # when you tell them you see them as a "main character." (1/4)

content: voiceline style responses. mentions of alcohol, ignorance of mika's release. 500w

__ albedo ㅤ“i don’t like to think about myself in that way. i'm only interested in discovering the many hidden stories of this world, similarly to you. well, if you think that makes me a main character… i won’t argue with you.”

__amber ㅤ“hehe, you think so? maybe you’re right! i’ve always wanted a book to be written about outrider amber of the knights of favonius! but don’t you think you play a pretty big part in this story, too?”

__barbara ㅤ“oh, my! you must be mistaken—did you take me for jean? it’s me, barbara, and i’m certainly not main character material—not yet! although… if you were trying to compliment me, that was very kind of you. i’ll try not to let it go to my head, don’t worry!”

__bennett ㅤ“yeah! that’s why i got an adventurer’s team named after me! um… but since i’m the only member right now… i guess that makes me the only character, huh? … yeah, main character by default is still a main character. i’ll take it!”

__diluc ㅤ“uh… i’m not sure why you’re saying that. word of advice, i think you ought to keep your darkknight fantasies to yourself.”

__diona ㅤ“did i finally make a bad drink? something’s off in your head, alright. what is that even supposed to mean… ‘main character’?”

__eula ㅤ“oh? indeed, if i were in a story, my importance would be key. my keen sense of justice and deserved glory. it would be a story about revenge, etiquette, and honour. perhaps someone should write such a book and sell it to the children of mondstadt.”

__fischl ㅤ“such diction is foolish in my presence. i am no character of a story, but the author of many fates.”

__jean ㅤ“oh… i think it improper for you to regard me in such a way… i’m only the acting grand master, and i haven’t done nearly as much for mondstadt as vennessa or varka.”

__kaeya ㅤ“oh-ho-hoh, you’re trying to flatter me, aren’t you? try dry praise like that after i’ve had a few more drinks.”

__klee ㅤ“heehee, the main character? i’m not from a picture book, you know.”

__lisa ㅤ“hmm.. don’t you think working at a library after being the akademiya’s most distinguished graduate of 200 years would speak better of desires for the opposite? sweet of you to say, though, cutie.”

__mona ㅤ“the responsibility of a main character is far more than that which comes with wealth of knowledge and birthright. yes, i think your comment is suitable, since i’m also altruistic, wise, and humble, all in a unique enough way…. don’t give me that look.”

__noelle ㅤ“how kind of you to say! but—ahem—since i’m not yet a real knight, it must be a very sad story to read.”

__razor ㅤ“razor wants to read that story! does teacher have it?”

__rosaria ㅤ“i... hmph. you should read more books, i think you’d change your mind. stop scowling at me and say something more useful.”

__sucrose ㅤ“w-what? a main character? even a narrator would have trouble trying to define me interestingly. but then, would that mean i will discover more in my research? i’m not sure but i wouldn’t mind that.”

__venti ㅤ“you’re always saying that now that you know about my past. well, if i’m not recognized as the archon, at least i have some importance to someone, hehe.”

tending to their injuries

↳ ft. xiao, bennett, and sucrose x gn!reader (involves romance for the anemo characters)

hi I'm in love with xiao and sucrose YEAHH <3 xiao's is A LOT longer and in depth due to favoritism

━ xiao, under no circumstance, would let you accompany him while he fulfills his duties. he has stressed his concern over the strong possibility of you getting hurt as a result of his abilities various times. it's true that he has a soft spot for you, but he simply won't let you even if you beg.

━ the first couple of times you help him, he'll be very conflicted. nobody has ever helped him in such a way, or has fussed over some minor wounds. this is mostly because he has been in solitude, so it brings a weird feeling all over him. should he feel grateful that someone is taking care of him? or perhaps, should he feel humiliated that he's showing vulnerability as an adeptus? he'll get irritated and brush it off, choosing to relish your kind touch.

━ being persistent enough would leave you with having the chance of helping him out after he's done. of course, xiao can be quite stubborn and he has suffered enough physically to the point he can endure any wounds so he might resist a bit. "I have no need for help, this is like a scratch to us adepti. you should find something more entertaining to do." he isn't wrong, it's not often that he gets any major injuries but it's still nice to tend to him.

━ don't let his prior words fool you. the second you see through him and start helping him despite his words, he'll let out a sigh and lean into your touch. xiao will be silent the entire time; he will watch with observant eyes so he can return the aid if the time ever came.

━ maybe just once, he'll hold your face and tilt it upwards when you kneel down to tend to any cuts on his legs. his words will be quiet, his thumb lingering over your cheek and his eyes locked on yours. "thank you for sticking with me. your kindness is appreciated, and I'll cherish it."

━ now that you look after his health, xiao is more careful than before when in a battle. he doesn't want you to waste your time on something caused by him. but when you do, be gentle with him. his words can be harsh, but considering his past it's understandable, so take his occasional rude comments with a grain of salt.

━ unaccustomed to physical touch, xiao will shiver whenever you glide your fingers across his body in search of injury. as his feelings for you start to bloom/if you're already in a relationship with him, he'll notice himself getting embarrassed whenever you raise/take his shirt off. ALSO ONCE YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP KISS AND TRACE HIS SCARS PLEASE he'll be so flustered

"oh xiao? have you got a fever?" you ask in a teasing tone. patting his forehead and lowering your hands to feel the heat radiating off his cheeks.

"what? adepti don't get ill in the same manner humans do." xiao would reply, scoffing before backing his face away from your hand and hoping that your hands wouldn't wander to his chest– where you'd be able to feel how quickly his heart was beating.

━ oh boy, it's no surprise that bennett always comes back from his adventures injured. you offer to accompany him during them and he excitedly agrees, eyes sparkling as he proclaims once again how you're the star of his team. he gets way too ahead of himself, and you sometimes get wounded as well. since it's mutual, you both help one another.

━ "man, I'm sorry. there's no reason for you to get hurt when it's my bad luck that causes it." bennett sounded dejected, rubbing the nape of his neck awkwardly as you patched up the long and painful scratches on his thigh. "really, you should take care of yourself first! I can bandage myself up."

━ he also burns the fire underneath him sometimes, and so he gets scars from it. and obviously, it hurts a lot and there's not much you can do to take the pain away. however! distracting him from it is a temparary solution until you can get him to barbara. the townspeople have already gotten used to you returning while holding bennett by the waist to support him as he limped.

━ bennett will talk so highly about you to others! "they're super cool! always helping me out and fighting the enemies with me! man, the thought of changing the title "bennett"s adventure team" to their name instead crossed my mind once. I'd love to introduce the two of you, everyone deserves to see how awesome they are. you know how I get hurt often right? well they always take care of me and— oops, I'm rambling again aren't I? sorry!"

━ sucrose is an absolute sweetheart who would love to be in your company when doing her experiments and research. she's motivated to do better with you watching her. whenever curiosity arises in you, and you have inquiries, sucrose will do her very best to explain the concept/material to you. it's the one time that she's confident since she holds a lot of passion for her job.

━ on occasions, something will go wrong and it'll leave her with some injuries. sucrose doesn't need to fret with you by her side if you're willing to lend a hand. bandage up her fingers that were stung, maybe even give them a small kiss afterwards to reassure her. oh, the gesture will leave sucrose an apologetic mess. <3

━ not counting as an injury, sucrose will accidentally cause something to blow up in her face. in which, she can't see and so you're the one now being relied on to clean her up. take her now semi-broken glasses (which you can get a replacement for later), and gently wipe her face clean.

━ even in a region like dragonspine, sucrose doesn't get into trouble with the creatures there often. that's not to say that it doesn't happen at all, though. not wanting to worry anyone, sucrose will usually try to hide her wounds. she's like an open book though, and you can tell something is wrong by the way her eyebrows twitch, by her limping, and by her hovering a hand over the wounded area.

━ sit her down on one of the stools and clean her cuts so she doesn't get an infection. be wary of any bruises she might've gotten so you don't touch her there for the next couple of days. sucrose will tell you not to spend your energy and that she doesn't need it, but it's purely because she feels bad. but what kind of lover would you be if you ignored her pain?

━ sucrose's ears will move backwards once you reassure her that you're okay with helping her out. she's bashful and will stutter out a thank you, her heart fluttering as she relaxes and lets you tend to her wounds. if you even try to check her heart rate, you'd be concerned since it'd be beating so rapidly due to your proximity

"sucrose, I'm here for you. if you're ever hurt then don't hesitate to come to me, okay? I promise you aren't a burden or anything." your words are like music to her ears as you continue wrapping white medical tape around her knee.

she fiddled with her fingers, laughing nervously. "I'll try! sorry, I just overthink sometimes."

Do They Get Invited to the Fontaine Masquerade Ball? [Mondstadt]

A/N: Based on my post where I begged Hoyo to give us a Fontaine masquerade ball event. If they don't, this is the post I am using to quench my thirst.

Warnings: This is just my opinions and thoughts! If you think differently it is okay! (In my original post I said that I thought that the "higher-ups" would get invited so that is what I'm basing it off), written in an informal way, not all characters have headcanons!

≿————-　❈　————-≾

Yes - Jean, Kaeya, Diluc, Eula

Jean: She's anxious that something may go wrong if she's not there, especially with Klee. Lisa reassures her that everything will be okay (Lisa can be strict too so I think they'll be fine). Her co-knights (and Diluc) try to comfort her as well saying it is something to be proud of for her. I think she starts feeling better when she receives compliments from other guests of her being the acting grand master.

Kaeya: Was surprised he was going, because he thought Jean would've asked him to stay (Diluc: the Knights of Favonius are inefficient, you really think you'd stay?). He remembers that one time his adopted father was away for two days for the ball, and can't fathom that he'd get this chance. I just know his outfit for the masquerade ball is e x t r a v a g a n t.

Diluc: He remembers his father getting invited, so now it's his turn. He is hesitant on going, since there is business to take care of with the winery, possible memories of his father, and of course- his "dear" brother who is also attending. He probably is asked to bring wine by the organizers. When he gets dressed, Kaeya's like huh you're not wearing the darknight hero mask? And if you listen closely you can hear retribution.

Eula: Also surprised she got an invite because of her lineage... but on the other hand, she is not her ancestors, nor is she getting invited for that reason. Amber is excited for her and begs her to tell her all about it when she comes back. She is the best when it comes to the ballroom dancing part.

No - Amber, Lisa, Barbara, Razor, Bennett, Noelle, Fischl, Sucrose, Diona, Rosaria, Mika, Klee

Most of them are too young anyway... however that doesn't stop them from getting excited about a ball even though they cannot attend.

Fischl: She claims she is not jealous, because in her kingdom they have their own masquerade ball. Fontaine has an exquisite ballroom with the most brilliant chandeliers? The Immernachtreich has a better one, all purples and black with candles and Oz themed lights. She immediately organizes it along with asking her mom to make her favourite cold cut platter, and invites all her friends.

Bennett: Hears about Fischl's masquerade ball and is very much convinced that her's sounds better than Fontaine's. When he attends Fischl's ball, (well it looks better in her head but) he thinks it's the most amazing event he'd been to.

Klee: She is sad that Kaeya and a few of her other friends have to leave, though it's only for a bit. Klee asks him to bring back something like a Fontaine-Dodoco, Kaeya chuckles and says sure. Lisa and Albedo are the main people who have to keep her out of trouble.

Razor: Potatoes.

Well... - Venti, Mona, Albedo

Venti: If this guy can somehow make it to Lantern Rite and Irodori, then he can get to the ball. Not saying he was ever invited, but something tells me he has a scheme twirling his fake mustache and sneaking in. I won't deny that it would be fun to see him at a masquerade ball. Insert Diluc's deadpan face when he sees an alcoholic bard made his way to Fontaine. Venti makes up a fake title- "The Best Wine Taster of Teyvat"

Mona: She has wrote on the Steambird which drew in a lot of readers, so I think she has a good chance of getting invited. She'd be able to connect with any Fontaine fans that enjoy her astrology columns. I also think her outfit would be very elegant.

Albedo: I feel like he has a chance of getting invited but declines for two reasons. One because he has a lot of research to do and two, because someone needs to keep Klee from blowing up Mondstadt (and possible sus-bedos on the loose). I believe if anything, Sucrose would be the one to convince him to go since there could be more things alchemy related to discover in Fontaine, or other alchemists or scientists to meet.

"All I Want For Christmas Is..." Diluc x Female Reader | Chapter 1

Hi, all! I'm so sorry for not updating for 2 months. I completely forgot about this story, and well, it's a little late for Christmas now, isn't it?

Might as well keep writing until next Christmas at this point LMAO

Anyways, enjoy this short chapter + chapter 2 which I will release soon! (I swear I'm working on it)

Prologue

---

CHAPTER 1: I think you have the wrong number.

You stepped out of the shower and dried off. You huffed a sigh. ‘I could’ve stayed in there for another hour, really. Alas, work needs to be done.’ You completed your nightly routine before plopping down into your desk chair. Just as you turned on your computer, you received a text message.

 - 

Anonymous: Hello?

You: Who are you?

Anonymous: I don’t believe that’s relevant right now. If I may ask, could you answer a few questions for a…survey of sorts?

‘That’s not suspicious at all…’ You hesitated to type your next words, considering blocking this person.

You: I don’t know who you are. Please delete this number.

Anonymous: I’ll give you 300 primogems for every question you answer.

Now that was really suspicious. How did they know you played Genshin Impact? 

You: How do I know you’re not lying to me right now?

Anonymous: Check your game, I’ve sent you a gift.

Well, let’s just check. You booted up the game on your computer and opened your mailbox as soon as you entered. Sure enough, you’d been sent 300 primogems. Your eyes widened as you checked to make sure you hadn’t been hacked. In the midst of your panic, you hadn’t noticed that Albedo had not only been swapped into your team, but he was also looking straight at you. You breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary…well, other than the mysterious appearance of these primogems. You picked your phone up again, texting the number back.

You: Alright. I’ll play your little game.

Anonymous: Good choice. 

Albedo smirked to himself before typing out a message, looking up as it pinged to your device.

Anonymous: Question one: How long have you been playing Genshin Impact?

…

Anonymous: Question two: How do you obtain these characters?

…

Anonymous: Question five: What is “pity”?

Anonymous: Question six…

Question seven…

Question eight…

—

You answered all of the questions, albeit strange, to the best of your abilities. After all, primogems were on the line. You’d ended up answering a total of 25 questions for 7,500 primogems total. This person stayed true to their promise, sending you your gems immediately after each question. 

Anonymous: Hm…Interesting. Thank you for your time. Please check your mailbox once more.

You eagerly opened your mailbox, noticing a letter titled “Gift”. You clicked on it, gasping as it displayed Albedo’s splash art, flashing before turning into stellar fortuna. Albedo’s dynamic TCG card was also found in the gift.

You: Just who are you?

Anonymous: I suppose I can disclose this information to you. 

Albedo: I am Albedo, Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius.

You: What the hell? Just who do you take me for, a fool?

Albedo: It’s up to you to believe me. In the meantime…may I ask that you stay in contact?

You placed your phone down on the desk. This person really thinks I’m dumb. A fictional character talking to me? You sat back in your chair. Though…I could really use the primogems. It’s a really good deal… You made up your mind, picking up your phone again before typing out your message.

You: Fine, I’ll stay in contact as long as you keep up your end of the deal.

Albedo: Thank you for your cooperation. I have to go now, I will be contacting you in a few days with more questions. 

You: As long as primogems are involved…

You placed your phone down once more, taking the time to process what the hell just happened. Were you dreaming? Were you awake? This was all too surreal. You took a deep breath, rubbing your eyes in an attempt to wake yourself up.

*DING!*

You hesitantly opened your eyes, squinting at your phone that just lit up. 

“What could this guy want now?” You grumbled to yourself, slowly raising your phone up to your face to read the text.

Albedo: There’s one more thing.

You: What?

Albedo is typing…

.

*DING!*

Albedo: Please say hello to Junia and Aspen for me.

—

“Mr Albedo! You shouldn’t mess around like that!” Sucrose frantically exclaimed, reading Albedo’s messages over his shoulder. “Relax, Sucrose. I just thought it’d be funny to keep her on her toes.” A ghost of a smile flitted across his otherwise stoic face, an action that did not go unnoticed by his ever-attentive green haired assistant. “And-and what if she blocks you? Our experiment would’ve been for naught!” She stared wide-eyed at the screen as Albedo began walking throughout the lab, scribbling words unintelligible to any but oneself out of pure unadulterated excitement that not even he knew his body was capable of possessing. Was this the power of her majesty, capable of even bringing out unusual and most likely human emotions of non-human entities such as himself, without even being physically present? He was eager to find out. Now that the barrier between Teyvat and Earth has finally been broken, he can do so much more…

“ALBEDO!”

Albedo stopped writing immediately, swiftly turning his head towards the animal-eared girl. “Yes, Sucrose?” She breathed a sigh of relief. “I-I’ve been calling your name for a few minutes now…you were so distracted that you never answered my question.” Albedo blinked, looking back down at his clipboard. He looked back up, clearing his throat. Perhaps he’d gotten a little carried away. “...What was your question again?” He asked, now giving her his full attention. “What if she blocks you?” Albedo smiled slyly, an expression Sucrose never thought she’d see on his face. “She won’t. Not for the reward I’m providing her with.” He paused. “...None of them would.” Confusion reflected through amber-tinted eyes. “Mr. Albedo, who’s they?”

“Don’t worry about it, Sucrose. It’s not important. For now, I need you to gather everyone as soon as possible. We don’t have much time to work with, based on her majesty’s schedule.”

🦴 Kaveh x Sucrose 🦴 Better than Bones

Sucrose couldn’t believe it. News of a large-scale building project in Sumeru quickly made its way to Mondstadt. A building project meant laying foundation, and laying foundation meant digging up the ground.

And digging up the ground meant freshly overturned soil just begging for Sucrose to dig through for bones. They wouldn’t be just any bones, either. This was a prime chance for her to excavate native Sumeru bones. Before this, the furthest she had been in her life was a bit into Liyue. Never had she traveled as far west as Sumeru before, as she had no convincing reason to leave the comfort of her laboratory. Now, she had a reason, and that reason was to add some new, exotic specimens to her collection.

It's even better that the project was set to be completed in the middle of a lush area full of vibrant green foliage. Sucrose would be able to blend in perfectly and strike when the time was right.

This plan of hers seemed to be working so far, surprisingly. From amongst the bushes, Sucrose watched intensely to try and catch the perfect moment for her to strike the excavation area. While she was waiting, however, she couldn’t help but pluck a few samples of plants for herself. Sucrose had to contain herself though, as her tote could only carry so many plants in addition to whatever bones she may come across.

The workers were concentrated on digging on the opposite end of the plot where Sucrose was taking cover, so she seized the opportunity to make her move.

While remaining low as she made her way through the grass, she had but a single goal in mind, and that was to find as many deceased critters as she possibly could. With nothing but a small spade and magnifying glass, she picked the most inconspicuous corner out of the two on her side and started excavating.

Sucrose initially hoped that she would be able to find at least a few skeletal remains to make it worth her time. After all, Sumeru's wildlife was incredibly diverse, and there was no doubt that at least a few small lizards or mammals would’ve met their fate in this vicinity.

And boy, did she get more than what she bargained for. The freshly overturned layer alone was filled with more than enough curiosities for her to take back to Mondstadt. Weird rocks, strange bugs, bird feathers, and everything in between turned up. It was too hard to resist the temptation, so Sucrose gave in and stashed a few of these odds and ends away for herself.

Digging down a bit deeper exposed her to her actual goal; a treasure trove of bones. It was merely a sporadic distribution of bird bones and small mammals, but Sucrose felt as if she struck gold nonetheless.

She was so absorbed in her findings that she had complete disregard to what she considered a crucial part of her plan: stealth.

A vibrant green fox girl rolling around in the dirt isn’t exactly hard to miss, especially for those who have an eye for beauty.

"And who might you be?" a voice asked.

Sucrose jumped out of her skin. He was right behind her, wasn’t he? She didn’t plan this far ahead to plot out an excuse for her presence.

Sucrose slowly and nervously turned around, feeling her entire body trembling out of utter fear.

"S-s-sorry...." she spat out.

She expected to be greeted by a burly construction worker. The sight she beheld was in fact, the exact opposite of what she was anticipating. A blonde man was looking down at her with a smile, rather than a menacing scowl like she envisioned in her mind. He looked more like a bird of paradise than anything else. Intriguing, she thought, despite the fear circulating in her head.

"Ah, but I was merely asking you for your name, not an apology of any sorts," he said.

Sucrose didn’t feel as threatened as she should. Which, in turn, somehow made her more nervous.

"I’m uhh...uh..."

The blonde, flamboyant bird-like man crouched to be closer to her level. He didn’t seem like he had the intention to intimidate her, but Sucrose’s ears still remained flattened out of panic.

"I’m Kaveh," the man said. "I hold no grudge, as I merely wish to become acquainted with you."

"S-Sucrose. My name’s Sucrose." she finally managed to say.

"A sweet name, for a sweet girl," Kaveh said with a wink. "Now tell me, what brings you out here of all places? You don’t don the attire of a usual Sumeru resident."

Why was this man being so gentle? It didn’t help that he was awfully gorgeous as well.

"I heard that some major architectural project was taking place, and I wanted to dig through the soil while it was fresh and loose. I-I can leave if you want..."

"What are you looking for, precisely?"

"Bones. But I got distracted. So now I have bones and a bunch of random plants. I can still leave if that’s too weird for you."

"Not at all! It is quite charming to have run into such a lovely young lady with a fascination for nature. In fact, I can tell my crew to set aside everything and anything curious just for you."

"Huh? You’d do that? For someone you just met?"

Sucrose's heart was no longer racing out of fear of punishment, but out of extreme awkwardness. Her ears relaxed back and she felt her face begin to heat up. Which obviously wasn’t a good sign. And she couldn’t control her reaction, no matter how hard she tried to calm herself down. Lovely.

"I suppose you’re unfamiliar with Sumeru's ideologies? Here, we value academic studies over everything else. Usually," he said, crossing his arms.

"What do you mean usually?" Sucrose asked, tilting her head and perking one of her ears up.

"Some people lack the heart to carry out their research in such a fashion, treating it more like a chore instad of pouring their heart into it,” he said, grumbling. "You, on the other hand, are clearly passionate. It’s not often you see people willing to take their nose out of a book and get up close and personal with their studies."

"Ah...uhm...thank you?"

"Think of it merely as a gift from me to foster the growth of knowledge," he said. Kaveh turned his back and began walking off, but not before giving Sucrose yet another wink.

She was strangely fascinated by this man. Probably for all of the wrong reasons but, nevertheless. A single meeting wasn’t enough for her, and Sucrose was unable to observe him from afar. She had no choice but to resort to her only option.

"Wait, Mr. Kaveh, sir! Are...are you free this evening?"

Kaveh stopped to look back at her.

"After today’s project wraps up, yes. Why may you be asking?"

"I... would like to get to know you better. Observe you, I guess?"

"Observe? You most certainly are a curious one,” Kaveh said with a laugh. “I shall show you around town later today, if that suits you well. Consider it a date."

A date? Did Sucrose accidentally score with someone out of pure awkwardness and curiosity?
