#sucrose my oc

[heartfullofleeches]

Dentist Darling who despises Sucrose (Taffy Candy Yan) and their candy store- More sweetness is the last thing anyone in their town needs. Especially with all this bizarre cases of rapid tooth decay sprouting up. What can Sucrose say? Their treats are irresistible! Darling would know if they just tried a bite. Too bad they've been scared off candy since they were a child. Cavities are a not something to be taken lightly, but Darling may lean a bit too far on the safe side. Perhaps it's for the best. After all, they're still around and kicking while others who've eaten Sucrose's candy face side effects ranging from tooth aches to terrible nightmares and in some cases death. Sucrose would make sure Darling doesn't meet the same end.

All they have to do is take one little bite of him and Sucrose will take care of the rest.

-

Sucrose: Ohhhh, Gumdrop! I made a gift basket for you! Filled to the brim with all the best sellers from my shop! Try a piece, won't you?

Dentist Darling: You will not tempt me with such filth, trash.

Sucrose: If you want a real sweet temptation I can always drop my pants and let you have a taste of my taffy stick.

Dentist Darling: What was that?

Sucrose: Nothing! ^⁠_⁠^

[problems-exe]

I designed this goober a while back but never posted them. Meet Sucrose! They're my inkmare kid!

I'm really pleased with how their design turned out, I can't wait to draw more of them.

They're my silly little 17-year-old aroace candy apple critter, I love them dearly <3

I put some info about them below the cut for anyone who might be interested in learning a bit about them!

They can also derive emotions from consuming food of corresponding emotion colors without the need for the candy melts. For instance, eating something yellow will make them feel happy. They simply chose the candy melts for their taste and ease of access.

☆ They can only faintly feel emotions on their own. Similar to Ink, they need outside help to experience emotions fully, but instead of vials, they get their emotions from colored candy melts that they carry in their bag.

☆ The large pen beside them acts as their weapon, serving as both a mallet and a spear, able to be thrown by one of their tentacles. They can also write with it.

☆ Like Ink, Sucrose's eyelights can change shape, but one of them is always in the form of an apple.

These are just a few details about Sucrose. If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask. I'm still developing their character, so any ideas or questions would be greatly appreciated!

Randomly started thinking about this. What voiceclaim headcanons do you guys have for sotm characters?

[heartfullofleeches]

Dentist Reader figures out Sucrose [Taffy Candy Yan] isn't a human fairly quickly, but they're such a grumpy ass-hat compared to the charitable, kind hearted candy shop owner everyone pretty much ignores them except for when they need their teeth taken care of.

-

Dentist Reader: Try to feed me one more piece of candy and I will punch you in the nose.

Sucrose: [giggles] Aww, don't be scared, Gumdrop! All it takes is one small bite and you'll-

[Dentist Reader slams their fist into the confectioner's face - their sense of self justice short lifed as a strangely sweet smell wafts from the blood coating their knuckles.]

Dentist Reader: What the- Is this....Cherry syrup?? What the hell are you?!

Sucrose, panting heavily as they wipe the blood pouring from their nose: Gumdrop- You're such a brute! <3 I was planning on keeping my little secret until we got married - I guess there's no hiding anything from you! My, you got me all riled up with that punch- Take me now, you beast!

-

Dentist Reader: You can't seriously still think this monster is human... His skin is bright pink for Christ sake!

Sucrose, drying fake tears from their eyes: It's a skin condition. :⁠'⁠(

[The townspeople glare angrily at Reader as Sucrose hides his face in his apron, weeping]

[thedemises]

they, in fact, would be all dead (/lh)

jk jk tho- I appreciate your appreciation towards me and my ocs :]]] <333 also i made something in my free time while at school (not during class dw-

━━IF YOU TRIED TO EAT THEM (/jk)。 nhell rivers: would ask you what you want from her, while telling you to let go (rip your teeth if you tried to bite her metal arm). would also scold you. kaoru takamura: giggles sillyily and tries to eat you too (literally, I forgot to add that she's a cannibal too 💀 freaky girl-) melaine harrison: nothing. blank stare. until she slaps you away and continues cloud gazing. not even sorry 💀 evgenia yefimova: "huh?" she has a condition where she can't feel pain so evgenia doesn't notice you at first (though her hearing sense is quite effective and she can hear your breathing clearly even from miles away) freya danesworth: freaks out and thinks that you thought they were food (cuz she's half-bird), then she tries pushing your face away brooklyn: chuckles at your antics sucrose qu-yang: ?!?!?1!? 😲😦😓 did you mistaken that she was food?? oscar wilde: screams like a girl as if he's in severe pain penni pennington: heartedly laughs at your attempt, no ill intent, just pats your head after celen nishiruka: nothing really, this child doesn't care. continues what she was doing but if you're in the way, she'll body you kaname nishiruka: cries for you to let go 😭 krystian karmazin: he'll try to eat you too 💀 (<--- not a cannibal, just in the playfully way) miriam yefimova: smacks you away with no hesitation like you're an insect coventina blackwood: cocks her head to the side like an owl, slightly creepy in a way benjamin baker: kicks you in the shin izu mikazuki: again, this man's reaction is also nothing

━━EXTRA OCS:

rei archambeau: "dear, no." ryū murakuma: tries to shove you away because he's probably 99.9% working (workaholic ass 😒) dinah amy fernsby: ??? you made her confused

things about my ocs cuz why not?

nhell rivers has lots of scarring on her body, especially the right side because of an explosion that was so powerful it blown off her arm and she made herself (with help) a metal arm in place of the missing arm (spoilers: the cause of said explosion was a firework from one of the enemy's grunts but the firework was more explosive than expected).

nhell rivers is also pretty much deaf in her right ear.

kaoru takamura is actually so psychopathic (needs to be in a mental hospital) that she mostly acts and appears “normal” to almost everyone, though that may or may not be a front she skillfully puts on. anyone who do know kaoru well enough mainly avoid her for good reasons, she doesn't care enough to be sad lol.

melaine harrison likes to go cloud gazing by herself since she hates loud noises and most of her friends are too much of a nuisance for her to focus and peaceful relax.

melaine harrison has a scar on the left side of her face that she got from a forest fire (yes, she lives in the woods with her parents that are still alive after the incident).

evgenia yefimova hates blue fire because it reminds her of the day her home burned down alongside her parents and younger sister, miriam—yet she uses blue fire against her opponents and enemies with her urumi sword.

freya danesworth is a short half-sparrow human, and they work as a delivery guy to earn money for a café called Artful Dreams which she works for as a side-job.

brooklyn is pretty much fearful of basically nothing except she fears breaking promises, and she's also a clean freak too- but not the obnoxious type of freak, like, “oh you stepped on a perfectly clean floor with your muddy shoes and thats okay itll be cleaned up in no time” type of freak.

brooklyn loves cleaning actually and is skilled in getting rid of messes she made during her murders and killings.

also part of kaoru and nhell's relationship (somewhat) summarized:

nhell: *gets down on one knee* kaoru: oh my god, it's finally happening! nhell: *falls over* kaoru: the poison is kicking in!!

sucrose qu-yang cannot say no, ever. people thinks she's cursed with that inability but no she just has anxiety x10.

oscar wilde and sucrose qu-yang are besties actually and both work in the same work place, probably gossip and talk about oscar's works (both of them are writers).

penni pennington has a bottle cap collection and refuses to show anyone except for his mother, merryy, cuz she's so nice and radiates warmth—probably named a red jet bird he found after her.

penni pennington has a scottish accent mixed with a swiss accent and speaks so joyously, he never is ever seen mad or the least bit annoyed.

celen nishiruka & kaname nishiruka are opposites like the moon and the sun; kaname is a lot more expressive than celen who is more reserved and stoic—and they're so young too!

krystian karmazin's first name literally means “follower of christ” since he came from a very religious family yet ironically the ukrainian man himself is an atheist and a silly jester who follows no rules (but will respect boundaries and pronouns).

if miriam yefimova happened to have survived the All Blue Fire, she would've been a spy working in the same group of evgenia yefimova who works as an assassin.

both miriam & evgenia yefimova don't like pirozhki that have mushrooms as the filling because both the sisters have allergies towards mushrooms (aka, they both dislike mushrooms).

coventina blackwood likes ghosts and spirits or anything transparent object/creature, and her skill revolves around spirits but they're mainly just arms (kind of like the hana hana no mi, eaten by nico robin).

benjamin baker is the shortest male character (152 cm, 5'0") while krystian karmazin is the tallest (228 cm, 7'6"). kaoru takamura is the tallest female character (211 cm, 6'11), compared to freya danesworth (159 cm, 5'2").

if competing in a competition where who is the most stoic, both evgenia yefimova and izu mikazuki are both tied as the most non-expressive people.

izu mikazuki has been mistaken so much as a woman that he just simply accepted that he'll always be woman in the eyes of people at first glance (he's a male assigned at birth).

[sleepyburito]

sometimes I randomly remember my Genshin War Au and how fucked up a lotta stuff was

but then I remember I made a lot of badass moments for a lot of my favourite characters such as Childe and Kaveh being generals and Collei having a gun

Imma just ramble the basic story cuz I'm not gonna be able to write this for a long while:

So, serveral people all across Teyvat including the Traveler, Zhongli, Ei and Venti all entered a domain (what they didn't know was the same domain just different entrances all across Teyvat) and ended up stuck there for 10 days. Only for the outside world... it was 10 years

and in 10 years... a war started and raged. A war started by an unspecified enemy but the general idea is that all the terrible people teamed up for one massive army and managed to catch most of Teyvat by surprise before everyone took refuge and set up their main base in Fontaine

Slowly each group from each nation left their entrance of the Domain and are found by the resistance whom are all older and war hardened versions of the people they know

Each Nation would have a POV and I dunno I thought that would be the easiest way to tell all the stories

Those who were in the domain and didn't go through 10 years of war

Sumeru: Alhaitham, Tighnari, Cyno, Dori

Fontaine: Arlecchino, Lyney, Sigewinne, Wriothesley, Clorinde

Inazuma: Ei, Sara, Yae Miko, Shinobu, Goru

Liyue: Ningguang, Zhongli

Mondstat: Jean, Albedo, Diluc, Venti

so!! my favourite facts!!!

Childe & Xiao friendship with Xiao as Childe's right hand

General Neuvillette with Furina as his right hand

Furina having killed Sandrone

Keaya being just below the generals in rank but he was the one to kill Capitano

Amber and Eula being squad captains and married!

Sucrose, Lisa and Diona running the science/alchemy sector

Baizhu being head of the medical sector

The Fortress of Meropide being the hospital

The Tsaritsa being frozen in a coma after leaving her gnosis to her wife, my oc Myra

Kaveh having been the one to kill the former sages and he used their blood as dye for a whole outfit that he displays in his office

Nahida being physically older to show what a toll the war has taken on her

Scaramouche being a member of the engineering sector!

Beidou having adopted a kid!

Kokomi as a General with Itto as her right hand!

Rosaria and Mona being married and adopting Barbra

Collei being a field medic

all bow users being trained in guns

Kavehatham having a confession scene inspired by 'true colours' (Trolls version) by the tree in Fontaine where they acknowledge their feelings and make a promise before the final battle

Alhaitham promising to war! Kaveh to show his Kaveh how much he loves him in his time

Tighnari and Cyno dealing with the guilt and pain of unintentionally abandoning Collei

Ei & Scara reunion

Shinobu being sad over not getting to see Itto mature and realising how much she appreciates his happy go lucky attitude

Diluc realising how much he missed his brother

that's all I can say before I reveal the whole plot but send me questions in asks and I promise I will answer to the best of my abilities

@kitty-thinks-stuff figured you'd appreciate your boys in this au

"Would you still love me if I was a worm?"

Uhhh I had this idea from an oc question in one of the servers I'm in lol. This is definitely uhhh crack lol

Includes: Zhongli, Diluc, Xiao, Itto, Yae Miko, Tighnari, Sucrose, Childe, Yoimiya, Al-haitham

You ask them out of the blue if they'd still love you if yiu were a worm lol

Zhongli

He stares at you, very confused by this question.

"Of course I would my dear, what makes you ask such a thing???”

He now feels like he hasn't been giving you enough love and now you feel unloved :(

You'll have to reassure him but even then he'll likely be extra doting and loving to you for the next couple weeks

He's so wonderful <333 my husband <333

Diluc

He looks at you like

"S/O.... Go to bed."

If you don't go to bed he will literally carry you to bed.

And tuck you in too.

He gives you a kiss on the forehead.

"And... Yes. I would still love you if you were a worm."

Then he leaves and goes back to his work.

Xiao

He stares at you for like a good full minute.

"... What."

No, seriously what.

"What does that even mean...? Why would you be a worm??? Such a ridiculous question. Honestly, do all mortals ask such idiotic questions?”

If you insist he'll say, "Do you understand how weird it would be to be in love with a worm? Spare me your foolishness."

When he sees you get sad he sighs.

"Of course I wouldn't love you as worm. Because I love you as you. I don't want you to be anything else."

He looks away, his face bright red, as he says that.

Itto

"ARE YOU GONNA BECOME A WORM??? WHO'S TURNING YOU INTO A WORM???"

He picks you up and runs off with you.

"DON'T WORRY, S/O, I'LL SAVE YOU!!!"

You have to quickly explain that, no, you are not, in fact, being turned into a worm.

Once you do he puts you down and looks at you, puzzled.

"Waitwaitwait. Why'd you ask that then????"

Once you explain he just seems even more confused.

"So. You're not a worm. And you're not becoming a worm. I don't get it. Why does it matter???"

The more you try to explain the more confused he gets.

Just give up he's not gonna get it, let alone answer.

Yae Miko

"Of course not, why would I love a worm? Why would I defile myself with such a vile creature?"

No hesitation 💀

When she sees your reaction she just laughs.

"Oh, you are so cute with that expression, dear. If it makes you feel any better, I'd at least get you a terrarium to live in. How does that sound?"

When you pout at her, she laughs even more.

"I'm just joking, silly. No need to take it so seriously. Come now, let's go get something to eat to make it up to you."

And then she takes you to get fried tofu.

S/O will remember this.

Tighnari

He stares at you

And then stares at you more.

He stares at you for a full 10 minutes before resonding.

"S/O... What in archon's name are you going on about??"

When you try to explain, he stops you, ears twitching a little.

"No, no. That was rhetorical. But really, what could possibly drive you to ask such a thing? If you want me to give you some love, you don't have to ask ridiculous question to do it."

He shakes his head and pulls you into his arms.

"I love you just the way you are."

Sucrose

She gives you a surprised look.

"Of course, I would! And I'd get you a terrarium to stay in and take good care of you until I figure out a way you change you back!"

Her ears droop a little more then they already are.

"Are you asking because I haven't been paying enough attention to you? I'm so sorry! I can put some of my work to the side for now and we can-"

You have to interrupt her to explain that it was just a silly question.

She looks visibly relieved and nods with a smile before hugging you.

"I'll always love you, S/O..."

Childe

He stares at you like 🧍

He blinks

Then blinks again

Then he bursts into laughter.

"What kind of question is that?!"

Yes, he is making fun of you

And yes, he is going to bully you about this.

"Oh, you're truly hilarious, S/O. Where do you even come up with these things???”

He immediately pulls you against him.

"Now, the real question is... Would I be a worm too??"

Yoimiya

She immediately giggles at you.

"Silly, S/O! Why are you even asking?? Of course I would! How could I not?"

She gives you a lil kiss.

"Besides, how would you become a worm anyway?? That's just silly! Now come on! There's supposed to be fireworks soon! We HAVE to go see them!"

She grabs your hand cheerily dragging you along, having completely forgotten your conversation already.

Al-haitham

🧍

He turns and starts walking away.

When you chase after him and stops with a sigh.

"You're in one of those moods where you aak idiotic questions again. I don't feel like hearing it right now. Go take a nap and put those thoughts out of your head. Don't talk to me until you've cleared your mind."

And then he leaves 💀

And he keeps to his word too. He refuses to talk to you until you get over the question.

He's an asshole 💀

Pairing: Albedo x OC!Juniper

Warnings: 18+ MINORS DNI, This is NOT an x reader, Soulmate AU, Reincarnation AU, Selfship/Self Insert, Death, Heavy Angst, Implied/Alluding to Suicide, He/Him Pronouns for Albedo, She/Her for Juniper, Juniper and Albedo have a kid, Panic Attacks, Mental Breakdowns, Toxicity/Toxic Relationship (my selfship isn’t technically toxic but for this fic it might come off a little unsavory at parts), Albedo is implied to have PTSD, Trauma, 4.9k words.

A/n: Hi this fic was inspired by the conversation where me and @/auphelia bounced ideas about my selfship lore hehe so enjoy guys <3

Summary: Albedo and Juniper are victims of the archon's fascination and are reincarnated in many lifetimes. The problem is that only Albedo remembers anything from those past lives and thus must prove himself worthy to Juniper in every lifetime. 

Tagging: @auphelia @suyacho @themovingcastlez @tighnarly @fleur-de-leap

Heaven and Earth Playlist

“Oh my god, Mr. Albedo you’re a genius!” Sucrose exclaims.

She held up a vial to her colleague with pure excitement. She thought she’d get the same reaction in return, but what she witnessed instead frightened her. Albedo turned to her slowly and with eyes as empty as ever, he replied coldly.

“Don’t ever call me that.” 

His voice sent shivers down her spine. She tried to ignore it but even Sucrose knew better than to chalk this up to simply nothing. Sucrose saw how Albedo was slowly descending into madness. Some moments she wondered if this was inevitable, but then quickly snapped herself out of it. Reassuring herself that her friend was not like that. Unfortunately, there was only so much she could do, especially in that moment. So, she kept a watchful eye and confided in Kaeya about moments like this, moments where Sucrose could slowly see Albedo drowning underneath the weight of it all. She tried to reassure him that he could talk to her if ever he felt the need, but it wasn’t as simple as that. 

Albedo couldn’t just tell Sucrose what happened and what has been happening over and over and over again. He couldn’t tell anyone. Who would believe him? Genius or not, it would ruin what little reputation he had left. There was always that voice in his head that told him that talking about it with someone wouldn’t hurt, it wouldn’t go as badly as he thought, but that was before one of the worst memorable moments of his lives had happened. Before he spilled his heart and soul to Juniper, and became utterly distraught from his feeble attempts at trying to save her. Albedo didn’t remember much from that day except for the parts that stung like hell. Like when he told her all about the reincarnations and how he was the only one who remembered anything, and that she would die in many ways he could never predict. 

It started  calm and collected, his words moving carefully and cautiously, but somewhere down along the line it transformed into something frantic, drenched with guilt and regret. He watched as her face went from concern to fright. He wasn’t quite sure why he was scaring his wife, and even when the answers were right in front of him, he just couldn’t control himself. The words spilled and poured past his lips like a damning prayer. Albedo didn’t remember much but what he did remember was the way her eyes lit up in terror. That expression of hers would be forever branded into his brain.

He remembers the way he clawed at the bottom of her skirt. Her skirt, so graceful and free, which had been trapped in his hands which were balled into fists. Albedo’s nails carved at the fabric of her clothing, ripping holes into something beautiful he had made for her and turning it into something ugly. You looked down at his expression in absolute horror, his face red and wet from his desperation and tears. His face was twisted into a horrific expression, one that bore the pain of many, many people. Maybe he was telling the truth? Juniper thought to herself. Maybe, I had died in a past life with him. Maybe when he wept, clinging to her for dear life and begging for her to trust and believe in his words, perhaps he was telling the truth. 

“Please.. You.. you have to believe me.” He cried out, pulling her closer to him by the hem of her skirt.

But she didn’t believe him. There was simply no way to believe in him. That sort of thing didn’t happen, right? In her anxiousness she pulled away from him, enough that he would tighten his grip only to loosen it in just a few seconds. It couldn’t be helped, she was scared. She had a right to react the way she did. Didn’t she?

“Bedo you’re… you’re scaring me.” She whispered, too frightened to raise her voice an octave higher. 

This time she pulled completely out of his grasp, no lingering touches grazing her or her clothing. He stared up at Juniper with tear-filled eyes. There were heavy bags underneath his eyes, darker than she’d ever seen anyone's look before, and his mouth fell slightly open as his tears dripped down to his lips. The taste of his sorrow was more sour than the day he lost her, and all he wanted was the sweetness of her love again. It was tragic really, that a man who was destined to be with his soulmate in every lifetime was forced to fail in every single one. Albedo had been gifted gold and had managed to tarnish it in almost every life he had lived. 

So, he watched helplessly as she walked out on him, frantically tripping over her own feet as she ran out the door like a scared house cat. As Albedo fell apart, melting into the wooden floors they had both walked on in those past years, he swore to himself this would be the last time he initiated contact with her. No longer would he go out of his way to befriend her, woo her, love and cherish her, only for his love to die right before his very eyes in every lifetime. It was then that he decided to do the most sane thing he’d ever do, leave. He left, so that when and if she returned, which she most certainly did, she would be left with absolutely nothing but his memory. He would never be there to witness the pure panic she endured as she realized, nor watch the way Juniper and Kaeya searched for decades all across Teyvat just looking for him. 

Albedo would never see how it absolutely destroyed her. When he left to put a bandaid over a self-inflicted gash, she continued to wither and die slowly until all that anguish finally caught up with her. It infected her until what only remained was an extremely sad memory. She wondered as she died if things would’ve been different had she listened to him, and as her heart began to slow she couldn’t help but hear his words ring true in her ears which had barely heard much of anything those days. As you took your final breaths your hand twitched, slowly reaching out for the hand of a long lost lover. She died warm in the bed he’d made her, Kaeya was kneeling on the floor, holding her hand gently as he watched the light finally leave her eyes. People said she lost her life to old age, but both Kaeya and Albedo knew better than that. 

So, as that life eventually took her , and Albedo eventually found his own way out of this one, he once again was reborn into another lifetime. A life where all he would worry about was seeing her again, and it would prove to be one of the many curses bestowed upon him. He tried his best to avoid her, but fate had a way of mocking him. It was when he had taken a spontaneous walk that his unluckiness would catch up to him. He locked eyes with her figure from afar, and quickly hid behind a nearby tree. His chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath, panic enveloped him while his worst fear slowly crept behind him. He just had to keep still and hidden, he convinced himself. Sadly, his reassurances did nothing to ease the fear he felt. Especially when a hand placed itself on his shoulder and a soft voice of concern followed soon after. 

He couldn’t possibly face her like this, not in this awful state. Her eyes looked at him with nothing but compassion and worry, and all he could do not to fall apart was remain completely still. Visions of what if scenarios haunted his mind and so he remained completely frozen, refusing to move even an inch until he was sure he could act with complete control. He sat there crumbling onto the grassy ground as she rubbed his back and soothed him through his attack, and for some magical reason it worked. Before he knew it his breathing had slowed, and his heart rested at a rate that was somewhat normal. Letting himself be still with her, even if for a moment was healing in a way he’d almost forgotten about. 

Still, as sentimental as this moment was it did not erase the damage he had done nor the madness that stirred within his body. He shared some of this life with her. Yes, he had allowed himself to know the joys of her laughter and feel the tender touch of her skin against his, but never did he forget the damage he had caused. As he lived in a house with her that was nearly identical to the homes they shared in other lifetimes, he didn’t once forget how her eyes looked at him on that day. He could never erase the memory of her wrinkled hand in his as she gave him one last smile. Albedo could never forget all the memories he shared with Juniper, and even though he was staring at her, healthy and full of life, he would never forget the image of his beautiful wife disappearing right in front of his eyes. 

It was a fresh new hell with every life he lived, and to be doomed to never die of old age was just one of the worst aspects of it. Being a homunculus had its benefits, but dying was not one of them. While you could continue to die of old age or any natural cause, Albedo had to resort to more drastic measures to die. Unless some unfortunate circumstance had happened to end his life, Albedo oftentimes had to take matters into his own hands. Thankfully, this was not something he thought twice about, making no hesitation when he had to take the blade to his throat to stop whatever it took to keep him alive underneath all that skin and bone. He was thankful for the times where someone did the job for him, dying with a smile on his face as he watched the world darken around him. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t take long before he was opening his eyes to the sight of his master, again. She wasn’t as pleasant company to have as Juniper would’ve been, but he was grateful just to have something or someone distract him from the madness that brewed within him. 

Sadly, this “bliss” only lasted for so long and soon, he was left all alone in Teyvat. A few centuries had passed before he crossed paths with you again. He had some time to recover from the agony of her, only to be reintroduced to it all over again. Albedo wasn’t too sure why he did what he did next. Perhaps he wondered how this life fared for the both of them. Maybe he started to finally heal from the damage that had been done, or maybe he was simply homesick. Whatever the reason, he had convinced himself that this time would be different, that this time he would enjoy this life with Juniper no matter how it ended.

At first he remained true to his words, making a life for himself with his wife and child in the cool meadows in Mondstadt, but then something happened, or should I say someone. Albedo hadn’t noticed it in the previous lives but eventually he caught on to this stranger's presence lurking in the shadows. At first he thought nothing of it. After all, he’d become quite paranoid due to the lives he lived, but he soon realized that it wasn’t paranoia and instead was a worry that was much warranted. 

It happened first when Juniper and him were celebrating their first anniversary, they’d taken themselves out to a nice picnic in a nearby meadow. Everything was peaceful and the kindness of Juniper’s voice soothed his forever aching heart. Albedo’s heart was full as he heard you inquire about some experiment he was currently working on. Sadly, the moment was brought to a cold halt as he saw a familiar stranger out in the distance. The figure did nothing but stand there and glare down at him, and in a matter of moments he vanished. This visual would be something that would continue to haunt Albedo no matter what life he lived. In the ones that came before he hadn’t thought twice about it and now he wished he had. 

He tried his best to ignore it, truly he did try, but even his best wasn’t enough. The man showed up even in his sleep, dreams turned to nightmares and nightmares soon became night terrors. Waking up in a cold sweat he’d sit upright, hyperventilating as his wife tried her best to calm him down. No matter what had happened in his sleep the man always showed up, the one constant theme being the mysterious man and his intentions. Albedo had his theories but never anything solid, that was until that night when the stranger spoke to him in his night terrors.

“I know what you’ve done.” 

There was something incredibly bone chilling about those words,it felt like a threat to Albedo and all he cherished. Then the madness started to slither its way back into his life. Many nights were spent sleeplessly working on his research, thinking back to his past lives and what the appearance of this daunting figure meant. This continued on for about a decade or so before Albedo’s research came to a slowed halt. He hadn’t seen this figure in quite some time and foolishly thought with hope in his heart that this man had given up. At the very least he hoped this was someone who he could easily get rid of, but fate had a peculiar way of baring its fangs. 

The next time he would see the man would be much farther in the future, long enough that Albedo almost forgot about him. Almost. It was summertime when the three of them, their child included, made their way into Mondstadt City. Albedo was holding his daughter, talking to her about the many flowers at Flora’s stand when his eyes locked with another pair. As his wife was paying for the gorgeous flowers she’d planned to decorate the house with, Albedo was preoccupied with a tall, blonde man’s eyes piercing straight into his. His immediate instinct was to take out his sword and protect what was precious to him, but he forced that urge down as hard as he could. That would only bring more trouble, he thought to himself. 

He thought at best the stranger would leave him and his family alone, but he was sorely mistaken. After the man made a point of glaring at him and his daughter, he started to approach him. Albedo had no clue what he should do in a moment like this and he had no proof to tell the knights of favonius that he was a threat. So, instead he chose to remain exactly where he was. Albedo watched the stranger extra closely as he closed the distance between them, his hand twitching at his side as he readied to strike at any moment. It wasn’t until the man was standing right in front of him that he could truly get a good look.

He stood before him, tall with a threatening aura that followed, staring down at him and his child. There was a fire burning in his eyes, a dangerous hatred that threatened to tear him limb from limb, but before Albedo could say anything he turned to Juniper who had since bumped into the unfamiliar man by accident. 

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you there. You.. are?” She questioned with a look of confusion. 

He moved out of the way and smiled at Juniper with a look that was most unsettling. He said nothing and did nothing, just stood there, remaining frozen until his daughter, Rose, had reached out a hand towards the man. Quickly Albedo pulled her arm back against her body, holding her in a protective hold. Albedo stood his ground, now staring down the unfamiliar man who he knew now more than ever was a threat to his family. 

“Nobody important, I was just on my way anyway. You.. have a good evening.” The man said as he walked past albedo, now bumping into him by mistake. 

Although, one could hardly call what he did an accident. Juniper watched as the stranger floated away, vanishing among the crowd while Albedo focused on his daughter, refusing to give her up to even his wife. It seemed that Juniper had forgotten about what just happened and offered to carry Rose, but Albedo shook his head, reassuring her that he had it handled, but she wasn’t too sure about that.

The three of them walked home together in silence. That was until Juniper finally confronted Albedo. “Albedo?”

“Hmm?” He tilted his head to look at her briefly before returning his gaze to the road in front of him. 

“What was that about? Do you know that man?” She pushed.

Albedo stayed silent. Not sure if he should be truthful or lie. He knew what would happen if he was truthful with Juniper, but he hated the idea of making a fool out of her. Sadly, Albedo did what he thought was best, even if Juniper saw right through him. 

“No, I don’t know who that was today.” He said.

She turned to face him as her expression became angry. “You’re lying to me. Why are you lying to me, Albedo?”

“Let’s not discuss this here.” He tried his best to calm Juniper down, worried it would wake the baby, or at the very least that’s the excuse he gave her to keep her distracted.

Juniper was silent up until the moment the three of them returned home and tucked Rose into bed, but she did not forget about the man or Albedo’s suspicious questions. So, the very minute she had the chance she cornered Albedo in an attempt to force some answers out of him, but still he barely budged. 

“What’s going on, Albedo? This isn’t like you.” She questioned him, desperate for answers.

Still, Albedo wouldn’t give in. He wasn’t trying to ignore Juniper but he was at a loss for words. He wasn’t exactly sure how he could tell Juniper that he had seen this many times before for such a long time, and that he had some less than savory theories about the stranger, as well. To put it simply, there was no way he could be truly honest with his wife. Not without things going awry that is. 

Juniper stood in front of Albedo and grabbed both of his hands, holding them against her cheek. “Albedo, talk to me. Please?” She continued to push him all while he remained absolutely silent. “Can you at least tell me if he’s dangerous?” She asked in a hushed tone, her voice barely audible. 

Albedo kissed her hands and then sighed. “I think so, yes.”

She pulled away slightly to give him a look. “You think?”

He sighed again and replied. “I have my theories of who he is and why he’s here, but that’s all I can say for now.” 

The both of them sat in silence for a moment, neither of knowing exactly what to say. Albedo thought about the man and the many theories he had about them, and Juniper wondered about the stranger and Albedo’s theories. In a way their minds were connected in a very distorted and unorganized way. Thinking on the same wavelength but in opposite tempos. At some point the two of them decided nothing would be properly handled or solved with a mind and body that lacked sleep, and thus chose to end the conversation there for the night. Juniper slept soundly through the night while Albedo remained restless. 

If there was any chance of Albedo getting any sleep it was long gone once he heard footsteps outside the window of their room. At first he wondered if he heard correctly but as the footsteps approached the room where Rose was located, he wasted no more time wondering and jumped out of bed. Carefully and cautiously he crept to the side of the room where Rose was, pushing the door slightly open to peek into the room to check in on his daughter. Once he was reassured of her safety he made quick work of finding his sword and gripping it close to his hips. He took a peek out a nearby window before opening the front door and closing it behind him softly. 

Looking around him he held his sword at ready until he laid eyes on the source of the noise. It was him. Albedo felt rage course through his veins as he rushed towards the familiar man. 

Reaching him he pointed the tip of his sword at his neck and spoke quietly. “Who are you?”

The man scoffed. “You can call me Dainsleif.”

Dainsleif held the demeanor of someone who had already won, the look in his eyes assuring Albedo that he would always be one step ahead of him. That was only one aspect of him that gave Albedo a bad feeling. Albedo took one step forward, holding the handle of his sword extra tight. He would not hesitate to swing his blade if he felt necessary, but for the sake of his family he restrained himself. He poked Dainsleif’s adam's apple with the tip of the blade, serving as an unspoken warning. 

“What are you doing here, Dainsleif?” Albedo’s voice was thick with venom. 

Dainsleif stood there motionless, not moving a muscle. Then he turned his attention to the house, eyeing the window that belonged to Rose’s room. This motion did not go unmissed by Albedo and immediately questioned the strange man. What could he possibly want with an innocent child? 

“Why are you here?” Albedo spat in reply. Growing more impatient with every passing second.

“I’ve been watching you for a very long time, Albedo.” Dainsleif admitted. 

That’s when Albedo lowered his sword momentarily, too stunned to speak just yet. What could he possibly want with me? With my family? Albedo asked himself. Although, an answer is what he sought, an answer would not return to him. 

“This is not the first time we’ve met and nor will it be the last.” He continued. 

Albedo’s head began to spin and spin until he ultimately fell to the ground onto his knees, sword now laying beside him. “You know.. Don’t you?” He asked

Dainsleif looked down on Albedo and then to the house, again before replying. “I’ve always known.” 

Albedo dug his nails into the cloth of his shorts, praying that this hell would stop, but he knew better than to be hopeful at a time like this. Sadly, he remained hopeful with childlike wonder, having an idea that he was so sure would bring him relief. He hesitated for only a moment until ultimately deciding to do it, going against the bad feeling that ruminated in his gut. 

“Do you.. Do you know how I can save her? Is there a way to save her?” Albedo asked weakly, his voice broken and strained.

Dainsleif looked down on Albedo with a cold glare. “What makes you think I’d ever help you?”

Everything was starting to unravel before his eyes. Albedo was beginning to see for the very first time in any of his lifetimes. He was doomed from the very start. As fate would have it Albedo would never see the good in his continuous lives as long as the archons looked down on all of Teyvat. As long as Albedo lived to see the daylight and die underneath the moon’s cold embrace, so would destiny let its hands do its cruel bidding. 

“Please.. There must be something that I can do in return? Anything?!” Albedo begged, but again, Dainsleif refused.

Shaking his head and walking further from Albedo who was currently on the ground groveling, he replied. “You’re dangerous. I cannot trust you with this invaluable information.” 

Albedo reached out a hand to Dainsleif but before he could even graze his body he had vanished into thin air. The strange man had cast upon his judgment and before Albedo could even defend himself he had left. Albedo remained on the ground for quite some time, hours passed by while he cried and prayed to the archons for forgiveness. That, whatever would come to pass, would be most merciful to him, but his prayers would grow unanswered. He wept and yelled to the skies, cursing them for being born with such an unforgiving face. Although his voice was loud it did not carry along with the wind. Some things could not be helped, a prisoner will always feel tied down even in a land as free as the wind. 

At some point he must’ve carried himself back to bed to Juniper. He hoped this would all be some nightmare that would soon pass and be just one big miserable memory. Sadly, though this was just one hellish day, it would eventually come to haunt him in the future. For when Albedo’s time with Juniper in this lifetime ended, another life would follow with an even more nightmarish revelation to follow, too.

The same usual moments would happen, still, but it was when he took that fateful walk by a familiar hill that would damn him to heartbreak eternally. Eternity is a thing of the past, but the way Juniper looked at him would forever be etched into his mind. He didn’t even notice the presence of a certain man standing beside her until he looked away from her cruel expression. She wore the same one Dainsleif had that night, frozen and unsympathetic. There was no escaping his fate, the worst had truly come. 

Looking back at that night which happened so many years ago, Albedo couldn’t help but feel that man was nothing but one brutal omen. He wondered if he had ignored him would he still be in the same situation? Would he not still be damned to suffer just as all mortal men are? Their eyes locked onto him, etching into his skin the sins of man. Although Albedo was nothing close to human, there was something about being lumped in with any other human made him feel insane. 

Albedo thought that surely there must be a way to free himself of this torment? But there wasn’t. Not in this lifetime, the next, or any that would follow. Still, he tried to fix what was never broken to begin with. He tried and tried to connect with Juniper, build something out of nothing, but each time she would scowl at him and look at him in disgust, immediately shutting down any and all words he had to say. Still like a mad man he continued this pointless mission that would end in defeat every single time.

At one point Albedo had managed to convince himself that this was only his fate in that lifetime, but oh what a sad realization he had waiting for him in his remaining lifetimes. As time went on Juniper looked at him with an expression that grew crueler with every glance she gave him, as if to say “I remember”. Not only did she resent him with every reincarnation, but bit by bit she started to become more like the man that had always lingered around her. Never letting her out of his line of sight, something that truly sickened the alchemist. 

Eventually Albedo had no choice but to accept this destiny of his and hid himself in a much better place than Dragonspine. Although no place would be far enough when in regards to his love for Juniper, wherever he was headed was a damn good place to start. He focused on his studies for some time, avoiding all social contact of any kind. Keeping himself holed up in a secret location that none knew about (that he made sure of) until he forgot how she looked. Sadly that day would never come in that life or the next. Her face haunted him from sunup to sundown. A horrific reminder carved into his psyche until the day that the archons would cast mercy upon him, but that day never came. 

The only thing that would remain constant for Albedo was the anguish and the ever maddening silence which surrounded him. Death was not an ending for Albedo but instead was the gasoline which ignited the fire. Even as he crafts something on his trusty alchemy table, somewhere far from any livable life form, he could still hear her voice and feel her cold eyes burning into the back of his neck. An eternal reminder of the selfishness of mankind.
