BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!! [tighnari birthday]

im so sorry for not posting for almost a month 😅🫶

you have been working so hard to make a secret suprise. for your boyfriend. you work so hard and scared that he will notice something weird in you.

well good thing you are a good liar, things goes your way! but there is time where you think he notice something, but maybe its just you being an overthinker

so, your plan is wake up WAY MORE EARLIER than tighnari, and its going to be hard because tighnari usually wake up at 6. and that mean you need to wake up at 5 or 4:30. why?? well first youu need to take a shower and clean yourself. next! take the decorations from the room next to the bedroom slowly so tighnari wont be distrupt by the noises. then put it up and make it look like your expectation. now take the cake from the fridge and put the candles! then take your gifts that you work hard on getting it! some of the gifts you make it by yourself and some you bought it from a store. and tidy the place and you need to do it all without waking tighnari up and its will be quite hard because of his awareness and his ears, once he woke up and saw that you warent in bed with him, its game over

“yawn… mmnn..” you mummbled as you stand up from the bed to the bathroom. you open and close the door slowly and try to not make that much noise while you shower

after you clean yourself, you get out from the bathroom feeling so fresh! its starting of greaat!! you see tighnari still sleeping while hugging a sack of pillows you put to make it feels like he is hugging you.

you get out from the room and went to the next room next to your bedroom, you see 2 medium size box fills with decorations, and back up plan incase the decoration look boring or not like yyou expecting. you dra one of the box out and it make some noises but not enough to wake him up. but still! you need to be carefull incase he wake up. you put the box in the living room and go back tto get the other box, when you drag this box its kinda more louder than the other one, which you hope the noises didnt go through to the bedroom.

after you have both of the box i the livig room, you start decorating carefully. you keep make some noises from taking the decoration out from the box. you put a little “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” decoration across the room. then blow some ballons and a little party hats! just for fun, the long part is when you need to blow the ballons.

after the decoration, you didnt have that much time before he wake up. you take the cake and put it on top the table that was in the middle of the living room. you put the candles and but you kinda scared to light the candles on fire, so you have some match stick and try many time tto lit it up, but you cantt seem to do it! you try 4 stiks and everytime yyou end with the fire is not strong enough and blown by a wind when you try to lit the candles or its just traight up not lighting up.

“sigh..let me help you” a voice behind you appear and help you light the candles and its no other thn tighnari who help you with iy. “happy birthday!! i tried to make a suprise but i kinda failed..i almost had it!!” you explain to him whhile kiss him in the cheeks

“oh please..,the sounds that you make beside our bedroom is soo loud.., and you act so suspicious, and i saw the cake. its not rocket science but i still really greatfull for your hard work for making this suprise. thank you love” tighnari says while hugging you

“always! now lets try the cake!!!” you say while give the plastic knife to tighnari

and you guys have a great or may i say wonderfull day!

thank you for reading!! should i make scaramouche one?? if you have any suggestion or recomendation, please tell me anoymously 🫶

*busts door open* IM BACK

I’m not gonna be too weird about this but- ironically- today was a day of much crying, and from that I was re-reminded of few things that got me thinking about the other nights rants so I have just a few more considerations~

again- not necessarily a fit for the current fic situation BUT. Types of crying. I feel like Cyno really doesn’t cry much at all. And maybe this was a given lol but I wanna talk about it anyways 😭

He’s just that kind of person and I feel like that tracks with canon. Even if he isn’t bottling up emotions, like if he’s sad and he’s letting himself feel sad, even then he may not cry that much. but if he is crying- or sobbing due to fever-addled hysteria- it’s him doing everything he can to keep it quite. Like muffled sobs, or just tears spilling uncontrollably, and so much, sniffing. That kind of crying you get when you just can’t stop crying even if you really want too. Maybe because it’s so stifled it lands in his body, so he’s stiff, or hunched or shaking a little. And! I feel like it’s so much easier to slip into hyper ventilation when you’re not breathing cuz you’re trying to hold back tears.

I think under Tighnaris care and comfort he’d be a bit more vocal? Maybe? Or!! Or when it gets really bad and he can no longer help it that’s when his sobs sound like, well, sobs. And that’s new territory for nari and cyno both. I think Tighnari would need some serious comfort after all this himself because it’s scary seeing your partner in so much distress even if you know they are okay and kinda just out of it.

I think cyno would try really really hard to communicate well, but he’s struggling cuz he’s sick enough and emotional enough that he’s not quite making the most sense? He’s stumbling over his words and he’s not quite sure how to explain what hurts and in what way- But he knows that he’s worrying nari and so he’ll try his damndest to make sense, and at the very least be honest. Maybe not at first but once they settle into his recovery I think he’d try 🥺

I also was thinking about more comical things Cyno would get upset over? Idk if it’s the vibe at all lol, but if his fever is high enough or if say the meds he’s on add to the loopy ness, I can picture him being very very distraught over just how *pretty* nari is. Maybe not full on crying but I can see him just starting and pouting cuz his partner is just…too perfect??? And if anything happened to him what would he do??? His EARS!! They are so soft- and he falls apart

idk these aren’t as fun as the ones from the other day but oh well lol 😑

WELCOME BACK AHH!!! I'm sorry you had a crying day and I'm sorry to post this so late when you sent it ages ago!!!!!!!! I hope you're feeling better now and if not, I'm sending you all the hugs!!!

This ask has me in a chokehold because I do think about characters crying a lot and I agree with you I don't think Cyno cries much at all. Even though I want to make him cry all the time LOL. Honestly though him and Tighnari both, especially in the canon world, I really have trouble picturing them crying.

100% agree that Cyno would be pretty quiet. My instinct was that he cries without realizing it and that's why he's quiet but I am now obsessed with your (paraphrased) "he is quiet on purpose which can lead to hyperventilating" like. Yes. And that progression to sobbing is really intriguing, definitely seems like something I'd like to explore if I can work it in somewhere!!!

I also headcanon Cyno as being very honest with Tighnari! I could see him downplaying stuff unintentionally - like, he's always a little banged up, so he brushes off discomfort without a second thought sometimes. And he might initially resist Tighnari urging him to look a bit more closely at that, but he'll cave eventually.

I also could definitely see Tighnari having a hard time with Cyno really crying, depending on the situation............ and at the same time I could see him actually being reassured by it. Like, finally, Cyno's letting himself being completely open. Finally he's letting himself be honest and feel things fully. But also Tighnari is going to frequently check his temperature to make sure it's not gotten to a dangerous place to be causing this. And freaking!! Absolutely to Cyno crying over how pretty Nari is and how much he loves his ears/tail/claws/etc. Maybe apologizing for "springing Collei on him" all those years ago and Tighnari is laughing because, like, he adores Collei and is so glad Cyno brought her to him.

I've also been thinking about Tighnari and crying. I picture him as a nonchalant but infrequent crier. Maybe some anxious/frustrated crying in extreme situations, but generally if things aren't going well, he compartmentalizes to figure out a solution. If something is upsetting to him and it's really shocking, maybe he'll shed a few tears without realizing, but then he'll wipe them away and do what needs to be done. If he's in a lot of pain, he'll cry but be really reassuring ("It just hurts a little, don't worry. Could you possibly help wrap this? My hands are a bit unsteady" tears running down his face) to anyone who's around the whole time, while treating his injury if he can. And... I think if he finds out someone he really cares about had something bad happen to them, he'd respond with rage. Even, like, Collei with her Eleazar - if anything worse had happened to her, I don't think his initial response would've been to cry. It would've been "I'm going to fucking murder who or what ever caused this disease." And then when things calm down he'd go to his hut, hide under the covers, curl up into a ball and sob.

Hm. I dunno if you've picked up on this by how much I wrote but. Personally..... I think this was just as fun as your previous asks sdjkfsdjksfj thank you so much for sending ittttt ily <333

[hematomes]

changed it up a little

now let me explain. first and foremost the bite is (unless specified otherwise) affectionate, not to hurt (unless they want to i don't judge). it's mostly a one-time/occasional bite. unless specified otherwise, once again. now let's look at my sick, sick brain. i don't think im gonna justify everyone bc it's tiring so im just focusing on my faves oop

edit ik y'all aren't dumb but just to be safe i don't go around biting ppl without their consent. i need this to be crystal clear. don't do that it's weird

diluc, xiao, tighnari - see im a little shit. so i have to act like one. and im also curious so i need to know how they'd react. hence it's mostly to get a reaction. as for the spots: diluc's wrist, xiao's back window (or cheek) and nari's ear

itto, venti, kaeya - i feel like they'd be ok with it. itto and venti would even understand. kaeya would be a cunt abt it but it's fine. spots: itto's hip, venti's thigh (not in a sexual way. you wouldn't get it) and kaeya's bicep. don't ask

candace, sara, cyno - while i am scared, i am also a simp. spots: candace's calf (still not sexual), sara's nose and cyno's arm. once again, don't ask

wanderer - a mix of all of them. but also it's the only way im sure he understands how i feel at all times. and sometimes i hate him so i need to let it out. let's hope he doesn't feel physical pain or smth. spots: i already went through it when his drip was released but i don't rly remember. hip window, hand (where the thumb meets the wrist), cheek, thigh, the little spot of naked skin on his shoulders, collarbone, neck... yk. anyway. i will also need to be constantly chewing on one of the dangly things on his outfit. yes, at all times. everytime we're hanging out. either that or his hand but im nice so ill let him choose

childe - i want to bite his jugular off and watch him bleed to death. (ok no it's mostly like siblings fight. you go in with the intent to murder but don't make it actually hurt). spots: fingers. idk. i don't want to think about it too much

albedo, kazuha, heizou - they're just cute. it's kinda cute agression. + curiosity with albedo bc i need to know what he tastes like. spots: albedo's star on his neck (is it sensitive. that could make things weird), kazuha's bandaged hand (im developing a weird thing for that hand), heizou's cheek

ei, zhongli, ayato - kinda like diluc etc, mostly curiosity abt the reaction. and it feels like an achievement yk. i bit important people. you wouldn't get it. spots: zhongli's arms, ayato's shoulder, ei's nape

yoimiya, hu tao, sucrose - i feel like they'd be cool with it too. even maybe understand and reciprocate naturally like good friends do. spots: sucrose's ears, hu tao's arm, yoimiya's cheek

al-haitham - he would not be cool with it. but im a little shit. gotta see through it. obviously would bite into his tits

mona, jean, yelan, keqing - i don't really like them and biting is a mark of affection. you know how it is

ningguang, yae, lisa, rosaria, lumine - im too scared

what if after the hands ranking i ranked gi characters by how bitable they are (< procrastinating on actually productive stuff)

[whoistartaglia]

hello!! I'm sorry if this is awkward, this is my first time doing this so I'm not sure really how to ask!😭 could you do albedo, tighnari, and ayato with an s/o who has like a medical condition that they kinda like faint easily? I'm sorry if that sounds weird I have pots😭 I apologize if I wrote anything wrong, please lmk!<3

fainter, fainter. 

this request has been sitting in my inbox forever, thanks for sending it in! i based some of this on my own experiences fainting, and i hope i didn’t get anything too wrong about it from an actual medical standpoint.

includes: albedo, tighnari, ayato.

warnings: fainting, gender neutral reader.

albedo. 

you were used to the dizziness; the way your vision filled with black spots until it was completely gone. it was an entirely unpleasant feeling, but one you had unwillingly grown accustomed to. 

what you weren’t accustomed to was the concerned face looking down at you when you came to. your eyes widened with surprise, until you realized it was just your boyfriend. 

“albedo?” you asked.

“yeah, it’s me,” albedo responded. 

you nodded and slowly sat up.

“are you— okay?” albedo asked once a couple seconds had ticked by. 

you again nodded. “it’s… yeah. i’m okay.” 

from the look on his face, it was evident your boyfriend didn’t believe you, but didn’t press the issue. “do you know why it happens?”

“not really,” you replied. “but i’m okay, really.”

several more beats of silence passed, in which albedo’s brow grew increasingly more creased. no doubt he was analyzing what just happened— and now maybe to help you in the future. you were afraid he might go all scientific on you, explaining his hypothesis of why this happened and all that, but he only wordlessly stood up and stuck out his hand to help you up. 

“the next time, i’ll catch you,” he said. a promise, an oath, a vow: from him, to you. 

tighnari. 

when you fainted in the avidya forest without a traveling companion in sight, you thanked all your gods that it was tighnari who found you. 

at least, you did after that fact. when you first awoke to an unfamiliar man in an unfamiliar location, you almost… well. tighnari still teased you about how you threatened to burn him and his abode to the ground. but how were you supposed to know this “tighnari” as he introduced himself wasn’t some malevolent creature? (when you asked him that, he only responded, “because i saved you,” which still didn’t put your nerves at ease).

but after a time, you grew closer. especially after you fainted (again) and he brought you back to his place (again). it was an uneasy alliance at first, with him promising to help prevent your fainting spells and you promising to help him as he watched over the forest. 

and while tighnari still hasn’t found the cure to your fainting spells, he did help you recover from them quicker. his knowledge of flora and fauna certainly helped in that regard. you couldn’t lie and say you didn’t like your new life here. and if you maybe fainted because of how good tighnari looked… 

well, no one could really blame you.

ayato. 

most people met ayato, the current head of the kamisato clan, with a formal introduction. you met ayato by, quite literally, falling for him. in his arms, to be exact. 

it was shortly after that when you actually started dating ayato. it was certainly strange at first, especially because you fainted again on your second date, but you were both used it now. or, at least, as used to it as you could be. you were still searching for a potential solution to your fainting spells, and ayato was more than willing to help you. 

whenever you did find yourself growing colder, that ringing in your ears growing louder, ayato could be right next to you, preparing to catch you again. and although he was never bothered by the whole ordeal, you couldn’t help but feel bad. 

“don’t you get tired of it?” you asked one evening. it’d been some time since you last fainted. 

“tired of what, dear?”

“of… me,” you responded. at his confused look, you clarified, “i mean, me fainting.”

“no.” he responded automatically. “i don’t mind.”

“promise?” you asked, unconvinced. 

ayato gave you a look, as if to say really? he wantd you to get better, of course he did. ayato would do anything to help you. anything. so an almost boyish smile broke out on his face.

“yes. i promise.” 

[solly-dendy]

Better than you could aspire to be (Part 2)

So this is gonna follow the reader, and I'm planning on a part 3 lol. Angsty but nothing like death here, gender neutral reader! Part 1 is here!

--

You wake up in a hospital bed, and you look down to see all of your personal items have been taken away. In a hospital dress that had its back distastefully showing, you get up to investigate your surrounding area. You touch a book that you saw, and you open it with the hopes of locating where you are. You furrow your brows when you realise this was where Tighnari was. You see nothing to indicate you were in Teyvat, and you hate the sinking feeling in your gut.

The staff weren't horrible, but when they were talking to you it felt like they took you as a joke. They'd keep making comments about what you were saying the day before, when you weren't lucid, and you were unable to hide your interest in other people possibly finding out about this place. You decide to ask if any of them knew who Tighnari was, and they would give you a weird look before explaining he went missing, gone without a trace.

One night, when everyone else is asleep and resting, someone you hadn't met before hands you a bag. Looking at their ears, you have an idea of who it was. They ask you some questions, and they inform you that the items in the bag were for Tighnari. When you tell them Tighnari was really good at his job, thoroughly enjoying it, you see the massive wave of relief that washes over the person. They tell you that when you next see him, you should give him the bag. You tell them you may not be able to see him again, but they shrug it off and wish you a speedy recovery.

--

You didn't expect to wake up washed up on Port Ormos, and it wasn't in the least bit reassuring that your bare ass was exposed thanks to your hospital gown. Thanking the gods for making sure nobody was there to witness it, you frantically turn to cover your backside, only to make uncomfortable eye contact with a man.

"..."

"..."

"...I think I know who you are." The man breaks the silence. "Follow me."

He doesn't bring up the obvious problem of your clothing, but he gives you some silent support by giving you some paper clips he had handy, aiding you in tying up the gown to cover yourself.

He eventually lets you into his apartment, closing the door and grabbing you some clothes to change into.

"There was a bag that was next to you, before you ask." The man begins, walking you to the bathroom. "Somehow the bag was dry. I haven't checked the contents." He finishes, letting you change.

You don't waste any time, wanting to get your life back on track. The man is sitting, a file in his hand as he reads through it before looking up at you, gesturing for you to take a seat as well.

"Cyno asked for this to be burned, but I managed to take it away without him knowing." The man almost brags. "Are you _? Please confirm your date of birth, your occupation." The man runs through the identifying questions, and he nods as he realises this was, in fact, your file.

"Many people don't remember you, this was not an easy decision to make." The man continues, you growing confused at his words. "'After the successful procedure, this document must be incinerated to remove any and all evidence of this person's existence. As such, those who have memories of the individual will be subjected to various treatments that will render them unable to recall similar memories.'"

You stare silently at the man, who seems to decide it was a lot to process.

"I have a free day today, so if you would like we could get that bag to Tighnari." The man states.

"Sorry, could you tell me who you are?" You ask, hoping you don't offend him.

"Alhaitham." He states. "Honestly, I'm surprised it took you this long to ask me that, but given how we met that's hardly surprising." He stands up, taking the bag in his hands as he looks down. "Let's go."

--

Seeing Tighnari after you last saw him kinda hurt, seeing how much better he was at the role you were in. It felt like you were supposed to be in his ‘original world’, but you didn’t understand why you were back in Teyvat. Alhaitham takes the lead, knowing about your background with Tighnari as he approaches the man.

“How many times do I have to tell you people that I do not intend on joining the Akedemiya?” Tighnari huffs as he spots Alhaitham, and you trailing behind. 

“Here.” Alhaitham states, preferring not to have an argument about Tighnaris current work. “_ told me someone was wanting to give this to you.” He speaks for your behalf, which you are eternally grateful for.

Tighnari opens the bag reluctantly, and he pulls out a botany book from his originating world. Reading the back, he scoffs as he begins to pinpoint how this book would be of any use to him.

“Fictional books are not going to sway me.” Tighnari states coldly, tossing the book at you. You flinch, fearing the speed the book was going, only to hear Alhaitham catch it. “The other items, however, look useful.” He finishes, leaving the both of you without thanking either of you. Alhaitham turns to look at you, clearly struggling to not throw the book back at Tighnari. You nod, silently agreeing that you were done there, and you turn to leave.

“_?” You hear a forest ranger you trained when you were first in charge call out.”I can’t believe you’re here! It’s been ages.” 

How was this person remembering who you were? Did they not receive the same treatment everyone else has had so far? 

“I’m just paying a small visit.” You state, feeling the curious eyes on you that didn’t know who you were. “I trust Tighnari’s been looking after you?” You ask, the forest ranger nodding eagerly. They begin talking about the changes he implemented since you didn’t return, and the feeling of worthlessness builds up violently. 

“Ah, I’ve just remembered I have something I need to complete. Sorry, gotta go!” You say, catching up to Alhaitham. 

The walk back is quiet, and you’re telling Alhaitham about your experience as a forest ranger from your point of view when he puts a hand up, stopping you. The both of you stand in silence, only being disturbed when you hear weapons clashing against each other. Looking over, you see your childhood friend fighting Alhaitham. 

“Cyno!” You call out, causing both people to stop. Cyno looks over, giving you a deadly look as he contemplates your punishment.

“Do I know you?” Cyno asks, his voice piercing you. 

“We’re friends, Cyno. Do you not remember?” You plead, Cyno’s glare growing more intense.

“We have never met before.” Cyno explains, putting away his polearm as he hears people running over. “Watch yourself.” He warns you, leaving you with Alhaitham as some children start to run through the forest to play. 

Alhhaitham doesn’t acknowledge the way you seemed to forget about Cyno subjecting himself to the amnestic treatment, which you are thankful for, but he brings it up when you’re both by yourselves in his room.

You take a few deep breaths to steady yourself as you explain Cyno was close to you before you went over to the other world, explaining you forgot about the fact he didn’t remember you because of what he did after the ritual was completed. You briefly ask him if he knew why the forest ranger who called out for you remembered you when nobody else did. Alhaitham tilts his head, clearly not knowing about the short discussion that happened, and you explain that this person was relatively close to you due to you training them, but adding on the fact you trained other people. Alhaitham takes a mental note of all of this, making sure he would write this all down to document before he forgets. 

Alhaitham turns his attention to the book in his hands, and he gets an idea on how to pass the time.

“Sit with me while I read.” Alhaitham states, you nodding as you sit next to him, him extending his hand so that the both of you could read through the book. 

Neither of you talk, and you weren’t sure if he was going to tell you off for not explaining things to him, but you also knew that he probably didn’t want to be disturbed during his reading. 

--

Over the next week, Alhaitham opts to keep you next to him. Even with his work, he manages to keep you by his side. When you ask him if he had any ideas as to where you would be able to work, Alhaitham responds by saying that you were working as an ‘assistant’. Truth be told, he enjoyed your company. Although you didn’t speak much, you proved yourself by getting the items Alhaitham wanted when he had to finish a paper. 

He asks for you to collect some ingredients for dinner, giving you the mora to do so, and you go out by yourself. Successfully getting the basic components for a nutritious meal, you feel a presence behind you. Turning around, your heart sinks when it’s a member of the Fatui. They try to make you feel guilty for returning to this world, putting a lot of emphasis on Tighnari and even sprinkling in the confusion you must have given Cyno. At one point, they imply that you are simply a very good liar, and thats when they suggest you join their ranks. Your hand clutches your bag, and you try to lose the person by ducking and weaving between buildings. Nothing works, which you partially expected, and you stop in your tracks when you realise your attempts would be in vain. The person starts to close in on you, opening their mouth to continue their attempts at convincing you to join them...

Only for them to fall unconscious. You turn when you hear someone fall to the ground, Alhaitham clearly knocked the person out as they check you haven’t been harmed. After seeing you were alright, he escorts you home closely, turning every once in a while to ensure nobody else was going to harm you. 

“Tomorrow, I have a day off.” Alhaitham states, locking the door behind him. “I think we need to interview the forest ranger that knows about you.”
