GENSHIN + YOU SAY HE'S TOO SMALL

— ꒰ including ꒱ — childe, wriothesley, zhongli, alhaitham x fem! reader

— ꒰ warnings ꒱ — [ex]plicit, bratty! reader, dom genshin characters, size kink & size difference, pet names used: dear, love, baby, doll, they're so confident i'm sick, alhaitham is a little mean in this one, cockwarming, rough teasing ⊹ ‧₊˚ ᰔ

— ꒰ CHILDE ꒱

as marvelous as it sounded to be nice to ajax, indulge yourself beneath his welcoming silhouette and paddle through the outbursts of sparks and bliss, you also loved being a little menace and make him question himself. it starts with a, "you're too small for me," then ends with a "but that's okay!" before putting a ribbon on it, becoming concerned by his drawn out silence before he changes up his demeanor, laughing and smirking sarcastically above you. 

"too small, hm?" childe grunts hotly before carefully inspecting how your eyes grow with fervor as he snaps his hips forward with one numbing snap of hips, his muscles visibly contorting at the movement, "you're so mean to me, baby, always so mean," as he completely stills himself inside.

if he's so small, you don't mind if he's not moving anymore, correct? in fact, the flaring stretch of your cunt shouldn't be that evident on your pungent expression. your skin grows warmer when you realised he doesn't have any plans of fucking you nicely tonight, if anything, the harbinger wanted to make this an important lesson for you.

buried deep, he felt so hot inside of you, burning a mark on your walls and exploring more and more of your skin as every part of your limbs and veins felt like he's set them on fire. every pulse of his erection in you, each grumble and deep, delicious moan sent you into a spiral until you couldn't breathe, not when you felt so full inside.

your hands fly to his hair as you tug him closer, struggling to keep the focus on his darling face with the obvious distraction of his shaft thudding within you, "move.." you bite and gnaw down on your bottom lip, yet he doesn't, much to your displeasure, he only drives himself a bit deeper until he couldn't anymore, roaming through your sensitive walls as a wet heave echoes from your lips.

"didn't you say i'm too small for you?" childe pouts apathetically as you feel a rush of defeat coarse over your spine, "this shouldn't bother you then baby," and he continues, he cannot stop now.

he begins to slowly grind his hips back and forth, yet only in small, little rolls that barely did anything, never pulling himself out.

— ꒰ WRIOTHESLEY ꒱

the duke was both pestering and infuriatingly sexy, and there was only one way to humble him by claiming he's not as big as you might've made it sound like in the past. sure, he can make you squirm if he really tries, beyond that? it's fine, nothing out of the ordinary though.

"I don't care that you're too small for me baby, you still have a big heart," you purse your lips together, suppressing an interrupting laughter, although unblinking with a devilish smirk.

"hey, now," wriothesley mumbles in soft tones, and he's gentle, squeezing your hips and tracing over your body as he drops lower to press himself close to you.

the duke rests his forehead against yours and kisses your bottom lip, knowing you love it, it's like a silent way of telling you that he'll be gentle despite his size, well, normally, now it's his method of warning you for what's about to come, "tell me that once i'm done, hm?"

"…with a straight face, stock-still," he felt excitedly elevated, so eager to sooth you and take the edge of brattiness from your voice— until you're bathed in sweat and his cum, desperately moaning out his name with a sound drenched in that of raw hunger.

in a blink of an eye, a ruthless rhythm manifested from wanting to burn that lie from your brain and the usual confidence rising from his body.

he holds your frame captive without a single route of near return, pleasure racing through your skin as he grumbles into your lips, makes your voice rise and hitch as he knocks the air off your lungs with another swift drag of him, his balls crushing against your puffy flesh before letting your walls constrict around his big length.

"shhh, not to worry, you hear? you claimed you can take it, didn't you?" a shudder was born at the ruthlessness in his words, your shoulders tensing and falling in an alleviation of feeling so full. the impact on how he's handling tonight was both totally unsurprising as well as exceedingly sudden at the same time.

you're slowly regretting your past claims, although not really— because you secretly enjoyed whenever wriothesley was rough with you, anytime he was so turned on by your presence that he had to show you in many different ways.

every thread and spark of your cunt constricts up at the close proximity he made you go through— the penetrating waves of his feverishness entrusting into your flesh as you lose yourself completely, needing more, needing him faster and better than each time before.

"you like that, doll? i'm so deep, fuck—" he slurrs his wording, making you shudder, "i love being inside you, i love when you do that… squeezing me," and the more you attempted to hide your precious whimpers from him, the more he made you gasp heftily in return as his hips carried on to rock back and forth your spongy insides.

— ꒰ ZHONGLI ꒱

believe it or not but in the beginning, it was supposed to be a little throw around inquiry to mess with your boyfriend's mind a little, just so you could see how he'd react to being called small. in truth, you didn't necessarily believe he'd actually care that much, maybe he'd even jester back. no one needs to tell you that morax had experience, and a special way of going around your body— so naturally, you expected him to simply laugh off the comment of being on the smaller side, especially his girth.

you can feel his cockhead nudge over your throbbing hole, ever so slightly inching inside until you'd gasp from both fullness and ache. zhongli was never too rough with you, he couldn't be, the idea of actually hurting you was sending numerous shivers into his body.

“i'm fond of this side of you, my dear, i love when you say nonsense like this,"

before you can form your words, his lips found yours, although rougher this time— teeth colliding together messily as his tongue laps across your own, exploring the inside and groaning when you tug roughly at his disheveled strands, his raw emotions enough for to lose a war you were never able to win in the first place.

zhongli hears you pant softly into his lips and he could cum just here and there if it wasn't for his self restraint, calculating his hot trails of touches as your walls glister beautifully around his hard and heavy shaft. your reactions excited him as much as reminding you that there's no point in lying to your lover, not when he always fucked you so nicely and left you breathless.

"zhongli— please please don't tease me now.." you whimper, words muffled beneath him as you attempt to reason, "i was just joking, really," and your voice? so deliciously at his mercy, sounding so pathetically weak that it strengthens the turmoil in your belly.

he breathes out a laugh, his musky scent lingering all over you, "you forgot your earlier statement already? that's not how it works."

you continue to mumble out precious pleas, unable to answer with words anymore as his dripping dick buries balls deep into your hot warmth before he grabs onto a fistful of your ass, "you feel so good, my dearest," he says wetly, pulling out of you and grinding back in immediately after as the bed drags against the wooden floor.

oh well, zhongli would be lying if your claim, even with how extremely amusing it was, didn't turn him on in the end.

— ꒰ ALHAITHAM ꒱

propped up on your elbows, you watch alhaitham get rid of his shirt before he attempts to go down on you, in fact, it was a sweet, little habit of his because he knew he had to prep you enough so it wouldn't end up feeling uncomfortable to you taking his bulky cock.

yet this time, you gaze up at him in open expectation, before stopping him from shuffling between your thighs, "no.. i want you now," you softly feel up his stomach as a sign of desire before smirking, "it's not like it makes a difference with your size, come here," before quickly wrapping your arms around his neck to pull him down.

you kiss and lick over the slight confusion on alhaitham's face as he props your soaked hole with his middle finger breezily, "didn't i say you're not supposed to lie?"

"and what was that about always being honest in a relationship?" he affirms, stilling the movement of his finger before dropping his body on the mattress, the sheer impact of his weight falling to the bed making you tumble slightly.

"come on then," he urges you confidently, snaking his arms towards your hips before lifting you above his pulsing erection, your wet folds sitting gently against his cock throbbing between, "if that's what you believe, you can ride me tonight, correct?"

"..uh, sure," your voice wasn't anywhere near his confidence and you didn't believe it was even possible for you to reach that level in the first place. although your rhythm was hesitant at first, you begin to lift yourself up as alhaitham wraps his palm around his aching shaft, giving it a good stroke and making you line yourself up alone.

you don't mind, do you? not under any condition could it be difficult if what you've said was the truth and nothing but the truth.

his fingers dig into your hips as you take his cock head, the stretch of it slightly burning. but you're determined, in fact, you never achieved victory against alhaitham and perhaps, that was your secret time to shine.

breaking the silence, you wince before a dozen of soft, silken moans gash from your mouth, not making it any easier for you. nevertheless, you carry on to move your hips, thighs shuddering and your hands finding support by leaning against his toned abs.

"f-fuck—" a needy whine echoes and finds alhaitham's ears as the glow of shyness in your gaze refuses to meet his intense, sweltering one.

he hums, making you whimper, "you need help?" as his fingers compress into your skin to shift his hips up and hold yours down at the same time, forcing your cunt to take a couple inches more.

your head immediately lolls back as he bottoms up again, again and again until he's filling the space in your hole, sliding his palms over your ass and kneading a fistful of flesh before dragging you up and down his length. alhaitham can make out the beauty of your figure even better now, he might become addicted to this position presenting him your bothered face, your erected nipples and your beautiful tummy all for his eyes to relish in.

"too slow," but you melt into his touch regardless, shivering above him, "didn't expect anything else," yet it was so amusing to him— because watching through alhaitham's pair of eyes, you should certainly do this more often, in fact, there was nothing that turned him on more than proving you wrong.

The first thing how you got a dog was to take care of it, by the cafe owner which you often visit as the family seems to go on vacation leading you to take care of their dog, which is a he.

The dog was big, bigger then Chuuya height when he was attack I mean cuddle by the dog you brought in the Headquarter.

Mori was taken aback by sudden seen of the dog which you brought so... Suddenly.

Elise was practically on top of the dog back as he carried her around making the dog her new ride to roam around of sort.

Everything will be fine, even Chuuya was so happy to see a dog with friendliness as it love to pounce onto others and lick them happily.

But.. The main problem was..

Your divided attention.

The port Mafia's members doesn't mind at all, they think but the more days it stay the more you started to come less at headquarter and busy taking of the dog.

Which lead Mori to let the dog come to the headquarter so that you will do your job.

Which was practically researching or paperwork's.

During those times, either Chuuya look after the dog or.. Hirotsu.

"Wah.. But from where did you get him, Al-niisan?" Asked Elise curiously while letting the dog.

You briefly stopped on your tea drink as you glance at her.

"Oh, he is the cafe owner family dog.. They eventually went for vacation for some weeks"

"Ah no wonder you have been asking me to make tea for you.. More often" said Kouyou who chuckle slightly as you gently smile apologetically.

"Heh.. What's the dog name?"

"...."

"Did you even ask them his name?" Asked Mori as you squint your eyebrow and frown slightly.

"..so you did forgot" said the four of them.

"Either way! Elise-chan seems to like the dog a lot!"

"Hmm mmh! Since Al-niisan like him too!" Said Elise as you just drink your tea with thought swirll in your mind.

They should not feel jealous especially Chuuya who watches you just patting the dog while on one hand held the report.

He notices your gentle smile and often care for the dog and leave your work if the dog wants to go out for a walk.

He frowned as he shouldn't be jealous of a simple dog, but it annoyed him that you can divide your focus on both work and the dog.

And the most bothering thing was you stop patting him for doing a task complete. Which he won't admit but he wish you say, "good work" and a pat on his head but nope!

The dog have hogged your time.

But thankfully it wasn't just him.

Akutagawa was so close to just take the dog and leave it in a dark room lock so that it won't bother you.

His sister Gin was very much concern yet she too, wish the dog to STOp taking so much of your time.

You barely even bat an eye on her when she handed you the reports or even a nod, even if you do speak you would ask about bringing the dog food for the dog or even some toy for the dog to play with.

Ryounosuke is very much paronoid as his mind race in thought.

'What if L/n-sensei care more about the dog and stop acknowledging me..' He thought to himself as he can't even talk to you unlike some can, as he would wait for you to say something whenever he did a task and you often gave a pat on his head or a smile, even a word of advice for him to take care of his health of sort but...

Now you just hummed a small okay, and take the mission report or even given task to him as the dog been your main priority.

Though they are slightly glad that Elise like playing with the dog and even take him for a walk around hallways of the headquarter but... It also, annoyed them that you were very much into taking care of pets over them.

Even Kouyou was annoyed when she was talking to you while having tea you just ask her what type of dog treats are good.

Like hell she knows that! And the fact that your own thoughts and care was solely on the dog.

The worst case is the dog have weak immune leading you to often call the cafe owner on the first week making no time in Port mafia work and practically solely focus on the dog that got sick.

"When will this dog leave?" mutter Kouyou as Mori let out a sighed while massaging his forehead.

"Don't know the particular cafe owner which Y/n-kun often visit has still not came back from vacation"

"Huh..? Why does Sensei have to take care of the dog! And its annoying how his focus is only for the dog!" Muttered Chuuya who too took a cup of tea to drink.

"Hmm? Don't you like dogs, Chuuya?"

"I do, Ane-san but... This dog is not even sensei's and it belong to someone the worst is sensei is so attack to the hip of taking care of the dog... He doesn't even bait an eye when I gave him the report of the assassin!" Said Chuuya who frowned in annoyance as Mori sighed in agreeing.

"Y/n-kun didn't even frown or say anything like usual.. When I try to ask him to go for shopping with Elise-chan, he just said.. 'Can I bring him to then? Maybe he need another colar' shouldn't his focus be slightly diverted from the dog?" Said Mori annoyed that you didn't even look at him while speaking as you busy taking out the leech on the dog fur.

"You don't say, Ougai-dono, Y/n even ask me what dog treats shall he get for the dog, when I eventually ask if he want to go with me to the new bakery but his focus of attention was for the dog" said Kouyou recalling your distracted formed of trying to leave early with the dog to get the latest treat for him.

Well, they couldn't do anything and they just wish the dog owner come earlier or they might resort to... Just lock away the dog away from you of sort as it annoyed them all.

And the fact that even the detective agency was affected.

For example, Fukuzawa was awaiting for you to visit or perhaps meet to drink tea together which you both often does once or twice in a month.

But to only got rejected that you have a work to take care of leading you to kindly excuse it out and told you won't be having tea time together for some time.

He was unbothered yet, worried if Mori wanted you to stop visiting him as he frowned at the thought.

He barely has a friend whom he can have tea together with, and the fact that if Mori is the problem of you rejected about the tea he was in fact abit annoyed. Cause he love having tea time vacancy time with you.

And he often wait for the day to come to have a pleasant conversation with you, as you often have interesting (useless) facts to tell even stories that are interesting (boring) history which he enjoy listening.

But that thought went off when, One time when Fukuzawa was with Ranpo and Kunikida to buy Ranpo some of his sweet store to buy and a particular case around the area.

Ranpo was the one who point out noticing you alarming both of them.

There you were with a dog happily playing in the park throwinga disk and letting the dog catch it .

'Why is he here with a dog didn't he say he have urgent work or sort..' Thought Fukuzawa to himself trying to ignore it as he was slight curious and hurt of why you would reject to spend tea time with him that only happens one or twice in month.

"Isn't that.." Ranpo point at some group as Kunikida frowned.

"Why are they there and why all of them acting so suspicious?" Muttered Kunikida confused.

There they were most of the well know Members of Port mafia stalking you who was busy playing with the dog and patting it.

"I didn't thought.. Sensei like dogs.." Muttered Dazai alarming Kunikida as Atsushi awkwardly bowed and greet Fukuzawa.

With Yosano and Kenji who seems to just walk past and was confused of why.. Fukuzawa (who wasn't trying to hide), Kunikida and Ranpo (hiding in a bush)

"What do you mean?"

"I hate dogs! And why is the dog licking my handsome sensei face! Ah! It almost touch his lips!!" Exclaimed Dazai accusingly.

As you and the dog started leaving as The Port mafia members approach them.

"Oh? Dazai-kun, Fukuzawa-dono Yosano-chan and.. The other agency members I didn't thought we would encounter here" said Mori as the air tense around them.

"Oh? Neither did we? Is there a specific reason why the port mafia here... Stalking your own executive?" Said Fukuzawa as Mori chuckle.

"Well, Can't we? After all he is part of port mafia! Especially looking after the members is what make me a great boss"

"Huh!"

Whereas, Chuuya glared at Dazai who held a stiff smile.

"Ayaya~ Chuuya what's with the grumpy face"

"You still don't learn do you, Mackarel"

"Oh? And what do you mean by that?"

"Stop.. going around stalking sensei last time you try to double suicide with him" said Chuuya as Dazai blink twice and let out an mocking sigh.

"Why can't I? After all Sensei and I are close I'm just following wherever my teacher walk no?"

"You..!"

As Yosano stare at Kouyou who gave a smile.

"Oh, I didn't thought I will see the doctor Yosnao here"

"Huh? Oh arent you the women who was injured and capture by us weeks ago"

"Indeed, what brings you agency here in the park?"

"It is a public park can't we wander around our wish?"

"Ohoho~ indeed indeed, but the timing is too accurate.."

As their stare make Kyouka and Gin to flinch and slightly back away from the older women's staring off contest.

"..."

"....."

"..."

Atsushi just want to be buried alive By the intense glare of Akutagawa who seems to be in murdering mood.

'What did I even do!?' Cried Atsushi in his mind.

"Are you all going to just glare off? That researcher have already bygone somewhere" said Ranpo annoyed that he lost sight of you.

"What?!/when?"

The glaring continues.

"Why are the Port mafia even interested in knowing where the researcher go?" Said Fukuzawa with raise eyebrow as his eyes look down at Mori who smile evily with a tick mark on his for head.

"And what brings the agency to pry what we Port mafia does?"

"..."

"..."

"Some young girls are talking to the.. researcher"

Like a switch they all rush to where Ranpo stood who let out an annoyed sighed.

"Why are the agency interest on who those womens are? Huh? Is it some of your members to manipulate our executive?"

"Huh? As if! we don't stoop so low, perhaps it is your own members trying to sway him onto dealing and stay more in port mafia"

"Huh! He have his own life and privacy"

"Yes, he have his own privacy but that does imply to port mafia as well to stalk him"

"..."

"..."

The argument stopped when they notice your discomfort by been surrounded by some two-three high schoolers that are trying to sway in by just saying the dog is so cute to literally flirting with you.

Your eyes held discomfort as you try to be polite.

"You know, I don't like co-operafing but.. Will you help my partner y/n removing those girls from his side?" Asked Kouyou to Yosano who raised an eyebrow as she side glance at Fukuzawa who gave a shook.

"Argh! Comeon, Help us with this we can't just scooped and kick those girls it will literally asking to be jail"

"...."

"..."

"..."

"Alright... in one condition you tell us why you are here in first place"

"Same goes to you too... then"

"Alright"

.

.

.

.

You don't know why and what just happen as Kouyou and Yosano just came between and sweet talk with the higschooler girls who squeak in fears and left running.

You just went to focus on the dog.

"You alright?"

"Yeah didn't thought the-/should it be you-" they both stopped as they frown when they notice you just patting the dog and smile when he bark and wave his tail happily.

"Good boy, are you hun-"

"Y/n"

"Oh, Right... Thank you? Akiko and Kouyou" You unsurely said as you don't know what to say, as the highschool girls that they chases away were only asking what the dog eat to be this big and what breed it was Or even how old the dog was.

You were discomfort because it wasnt your dog and you have no clue what the owner of the cafe gave to the dog to make the dog to be this big in size.

Maybe, Because of its breed you are not sure.

"Is he often like this?" Asked Yosano to Kouyou who let out a sighed.

"Unfortunately his focus has often been with the dog"

"What why?"

"Not sure.. he seems to take care of the dog more.. Especially he started to side tracketed in his own works"

"Pity, But how long had you guys raise as I doubt he suddenly just love the dog after raising it to the point to just stopped caring about work and focus on the dog"

"Well that dog was been taken by y/n to take care of by the cafe owner which he often visits as they went on vacation"

"How long has it been?"

"A month now, and he havent come to Port mafia headquarters for a week because of the dog"

"Heh.. Why not just take away the dog"

"...do you think that.. is easy"

"Hmm.. I barely know him but.. Yeah it won't be easy and-"

They both stop talking to see you already left so does the other members alarming them both.

"Ah! Come on they seriously left us?"

"Meh~ Ranpo have an weird interest on the researcher so yeah"

"He? That's.. Weird even y/n have interest on you"

"Me?"

"Yeah"

"How so?"

"He calls your.. first name"

"So.. did he call yours"

"Because.. we are partners since 14, I think but.. He doesn't know you much right?"

"...I guess.."

And so does it perk Yosano interest as they both left in search of where you left.

The whole up-and down came to an end as they finally saw you leave the park to go home with the dog happily barking .

As the evening fall they all tiredly stood there.

"So he rejected to drink Tea meetinf for the dog?"

"Yeah... He even didn't came to work for a week"

"..."

"...."

"You know.. The owner should really take away the dog"

"First time I agree with you"

As silence felt over.

But soon they both shook hands with the other members to agreed.

"We will find where that Owner of cafe left of too and quickly let them take away the dog"

"And.. we will try to make Y/n-kun not to be around the dog 24/7 so that he won't missed the dog when it truly left."

"..."

"Also what do you mean by Tea meeting, Fukuzawa-dono? Are you trying to steal my executive, Y/n-kun?"

"...."

He just gave a dead paned look and departed with the agency.

So, does the port mafia with one goal in mind.

'Never in million we will bring another pet so that y/n won't be distracted with it again'

[a-998h]

Heyyy I’m here to bother youuuuuuh😊

Anyway, I don’t know if you’ve seen the ask yet about certain characters ages and {Reader} calling them old and stuff, but if you do that request I would like to add smth and reacting to their ages, I would recommend reading that one first then this one

Basically when the readers like “You’re still gon’ be here even when I die” and then they just smile and joke about it- just go check out the request I sent lol-

But what if {Reader} figured out some of the characters were ‘puppets’ and they were like “Why are you being a coward? Just show your true self!”

Because wanderer is like a puppet right? But I don’t know if it’s the same situation as EI

Also another scenario where some of the characters try to pick up {Reader} and they just can’t (magic mfs)

But reader can easily like lift up ZHONGLI- Or maybe to some sassy characters liek Wanderer(if he’s sassy idk) or like Tighnari (same goes for him, idrk)

And another thing, {Reader} would ABSOLUTELY judge the crap outta some all the characters clothing choices- especially the ones that fight

So they’ll like go up to Itto and be like “Where’s the rest of your shirt?” And if he says something egotistical/ or compliments himself (If that’s what his character is even like�� If not just choose another character I guess) and {Reader} would respond with “Yeah well you ego seems way bigger than your build”

Or for like EI they would be like “Why doesn’t the kimono cover the some of your chest?” Or for Xiao they would be like “Do you even have a shirt on or is it see through-“ and for Zhongli it would be “How can you even fight in a suit? It looks so tight and uncomfortable, and what’s the point of the bottom part of your suit being shredded? (The part where his suit splits into parts at the end) and basically every other character who fights yet their outfits are completely unpractical

And {Reader} wears like very baggy clothing and Japanese sandals

And also how they fight is instead of using powers- they just hella skilled with like martial arts, like they’ll just swipe some characters off their feet, and like elbow some in the stomach😭 and like instead of teleporting they’re just so fast and they jump off trees like a crazy lil shit-

And this is also really random, but imagine the characters are playing hide-n-seek with {Reader} and no one could find them until EI looks up and SOMEHOW {READER} MANAGED TO CLING TO THE CEILING (IN LIKE A SPIDERMAN POSITION TOO-) AND THEYRE JUST LIKE- “You guys suck at Hide-n-seek”

Anyway if you could combine this request with the other one where it talks more about certain characters ages and like how reader reacted to it and stuff, taht would be greatttttt🙃🙃🙃

Hope you have a good dayyyy!

-🍉Anon

okay let's break this down. 🍉 Anon, I love your enthusiasm but please calm down a bit, one idea at a time.

You become a fashion critic to them. I love the character designs but jesus christ , some of them are so impractical. You offer them advice on how to make their outfits more practical and whether or not they listen to you is not your problem. Your constantly begging Itto to put on a shirt. You're just confused by the whole boob sword open chest kimono thing with Ei.

They're all very proud of your skills. And while some think someone your age shouldn't need to learn this. They accept it and deal with it in their own way. Some are absolutely terrified of you. Some just think you need training and others genuinely question how you got this strong.

Ei would try and dismiss your concerns over her "true self". As time goes on if she ever decides to leave the plane of Euthymia one of the first things she'll do is look for you. Wanderer will scoff and tell you this is his true self. Then you would probably throw a few jokes. His way and your petty fighting will start all over again.

Zhongli and Tighnari are impressed by the fact that you managed to left them while no one could lift you. When lifting Wanderer... You essentially become his personal carry person until someone scolds him and takes him away from you.

In hide-and-seek no matter who you're playing with. Everyone gets really nervous when they can't find you. They check in all the typical spots. And then they find you up a tree or something. Some of the characters freak out because my precious baby is in a tree and others. Just questioned how you got up there in the first.

Hi i see that your open for request so umm can i request sagau creator reader,that has a adopted child that somehow also came with them and their child also developed their own power, i just love the creator as a parent/parent figure or maybe the creator's parents also soon arrived after their arrival

ᯇ Creator!Reader's Child and Parents getting isekaid ♡ ！

⊹ [ synopsis ] — just a small imagine about what would happen if your child and parents get in Teyvat. ◞

⊹ [ cw ] — religious themes. ◞

⊹ [ a/n ] — Hi, so I did a similar thing for reader with kids but I suppose I can continue a bit. Thanks for the request! Hope you'll enjoy! I might take a bit of a break (really not that long) because I feel like I was active enough this week and I don't like posting too much.◞

. The kid plays alone Genshin, but since they're very young, they're not really good and dies easily, so the characters kind of break from their scripted movements and help your kid to win. Also, characters thinking they're too cute and accidentally saying it out loud, but they don't have to worry, kids got a big imagination, don't they? You won't believe them, right?

. If they get powers, they're only allowed to use them in a teapot because I don't think you can imagine how chaotic that would be, suddenly Santa Claus exists in the world of Teyvat, schools somehow vanished, everything is now made of candy-... Supernatural beings like Zhongli, Xiao, Nahida, teach them how to control their power and say things like 'with great powers come great responsibilities'. And then, there is the others like Venti and Miko who encourage them to use it for fun and pranks.

. As for the parents, imagine no matter your age they don't let you play too much, some can accept it because you shouldn't play too long (Zhongli, Yaoyao, Jean, Shinobu) and others too but would miss you (Xiao, Albedo, Yoimiya, Klee), but there's a group who would be against it (Childe, Itto, Scaramouche) and Itto and Childe may or may not have team up to spam your email with 'WANT TO GET PRIMOGEMS? LOGIN IN GENSHIN. OFFER ONLY AVAILABLE TODAY!'

. As for when the parents get isekaid would be really confused not only by literally being transported to a new world, but why do people have powers and why do you do too? Who are these weird-looking people? You're in love with all of them?? (Advise: don't talk about their backstory, some would really leave your parents concerned)

. Depends on how your parents act but either they would be glad to be there because they are treated like royalty or just want to go back because of their work, family and friends, also traveling to another world won't make them escape the rents, so no matter what you think they'll drag you back to your home.

+ small bonus

. Everytime a mom on YouTube reacts to Zhongli they immediately fall for him, so if you want to keep him for yourself better not present him and good luck with that because he really wants to see those who brought to the world his creator/partner and thank them.

a matter of sickness

'Archons don't get sick, and neither do dragons...'

tags: fem!reader pet names, Zhongli is very pure, soft Zhongli, fem!reader, Zhongli and reader are in a relationship, reader is ill, Zhongli does not know what to do with himself, fluff no plot, author is still very tired

masterlist | ao3 link | taglist | next

please do not repost or edit my work without credit. reblogs are greatly appreciated!

i'm also taking ideas for the rest of the flufftober days, feel free to leave any suggestions in my asks, no matter how self-indulgent they may be

Zhongli has limited experience with illness. Archons don't get sick, and neither do dragons.

However, his pretty human wife does, and he doesn't know how to handle that. Especially when, for some reason, you don't understand that you need to rest.

"Li, please!" you complain between coughs. "I'm fine, really. There's no need for any of this."

He ignores you, propping you up with yet another pillow. He's had no sleep, concerned that your condition had worsened every time you tumbled into a fit of coughs in the middle of the night. He's tired, and therefore cranky, and he's desperate to somehow make you well again. Having a sick wife is putting a type of tension on his shoulders that he has never experienced before.

"If you won't rest, at the very least, stop protesting so you can give your throat a rest." He says curtly, though one look at you has him taking back every word. You're not used to Zhongli being harsh with you and no matter the cause, it always leaves you on the verge of tears. Noticing your reaction, he sits on the bed beside you and strokes your hair. "I'm sorry, love. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."

You sniff, staring at him with wide, bloodshot eyes. You're exhausted and emotionally fragile as a result of the night of no sleep. You lift your arms so he can pull you into a hug. "It's okay."

"I'm not used to those around me being unwell. I sincerely apologise." you nod into his shoulder, a stray tear escaping, despite the fact he's already apologised. "Please drink some tea."

The first thing Zhongli did when sunlight hit the window was going straight to Dr Baizhu. Mainly because he didn't think he could endure another night of fearing for his wife’s life. After explaining your illness to him, Dr Baizhu laughed at Zhongli.

"You seem to be getting soft," he marvelled. "All for a human."

Zhongli really didn’t appreciate that. He was already stressed since you were on the mountain alone, and now he was being ridiculed by the doctor. He bit back his complaint, grit his teeth and waited for a prescription.

"She just has a common cold. She'll be better in a day or two, provided she rests and drinks lots of fluids. This should help with the coughing." Dr Baizhu said, passing Zhongli a box of tea bags. He thanked the doctor dutifully, not that he truly believed that he had been much help, and ran back home to you, praying you hadn't noticed the fact he was missing. You had.

That was the start of everything going downhill. You'd panicked because you thought something had happened to him, and had worked yourself up, he was tired and annoyed by Dr Baizhu's comments, and the panic in your eyes when you saw him made him regret leaving.

“Li, it’s too hot. It hurts,” you whisper, pushing the cup of tea back to him.

“My love, you have to at least try for me.” He replies, If he could magically make the drink colder for you, he would do it in a heartbeat. But he can't, so he settles for blowing on the drink for you.

You shake your head no, and Zhongli knows better than to scold you again. As tired as he is, he doesn't think he can cope with making you cry again.

"I'm cold," you whine again.

"Maybe you should drink your tea," Zhongli quips. It's been a particularly hot summer, so he'd put the majority of the thicker covers in the closet to keep them out of the way. He pulls out the warmest one he can find, and drapes it over you. You thank him gratefully, but continue to insist that you will not be drinking the tea if it continues to be hotter than the archipelagos in mid-summer at midday. Zhongli laughs at your dedication to your metaphor.

"Are you always so mean to sick people?" You ask. Zhongli sits in bed next to you, and wraps his arms around your shivering body. You feel yourself warming up immediately.

"I'm not accustomed to people who are ill, so I can't answer that question," he says. "Archons don't usually experience human ailments. The only other possibility is corruption, but recovery from that is rare. Especially if it's from the Abyss."

You scowl. "Let's not talk about the Abyss. One of their men gave me this dumb cold. I should have killed him on sight instead of trying to not engage him." You’re not often this open about how you feel about your experiences in combat, so Zhongli supposes that being ill lends itself to callousness.

"You tried to spare a Fatui? How gracious of you." Zhongli marvels. He can't keep up with your moods. Sometimes you seem to want death to each and every single one of them, other times, you're happy to just let them be. You cough.

"Never again. They can all die.”

“Even Childe?” Zhongli teases.

“Don’t talk to me about him. He can die too, for making you do the Fatui’s dirty work.” You move closer to Zhongli, if that’s even possible, another chill running through you. “See? Now I’m getting shivers.”

He laughs, and you feel him shift into his slightly less human form, just as you hoped. He’s much warmer this way—almost as if the sheer power of his archon form radiates heat. Plus, there’s more of him to wrap around you like this. For some reason, his tougher skin somehow feels like velvet against yours, and the tickle of his hair is familiar and soothing. Never has a person ever felt more like home to you. 

“I cannot keep up with your mood swings.” He chuckles. “If I keep you here like this for at least another hour, will you drink the tea then?”

“No.” You reply. You’re nothing if not open and honest, and Zhongli appreciates that. His contracts mean that he has to keep quiet about a great manner of things, but that fact that you have no such problems is of great joy to him. He always knows what’s running through your mind.

When the hour is up, and he feels like the period of resting—as well as releasing his archon form—has rejuvenated him sufficiently, he slide outs of your arms and heads off to the kitchen. Your next complaint, other than being cold or in pain, will most likely be that you’re hungry. You’ll never accept anything unless he’s made it or it came from Wanmin, and Celestial help him if you wake up without him again. He’s barely in the kitchen for five minutes before you come staggering along, barely even awake and dragging your feet across the tiled floor. You press yourself against his back, wrapping your arms around his waist. If he’s surprised by your presence, or how clammy you are to the touch, he doesn’t mention it.

“I need you,” You’re not ashamed by your lack of tact.

Zhongli chuckles. “You have a heater and a blanket in there. I am sure you’ll be fine on your own for half an hour, love.”

“No,” You complain. “Not like that.”

He turns to face you. As much as he loves hearing that he’s as indisposable to you as you are to him, he’s not falling for your antics. He notes that being ill makes you blood-thirsty and boosts your libido somehow. What a strange combination.

“You are sick, and you’re supposed to be resting. It’s a no.” He kisses your forehead to soften the blow of the rejection. It doesn’t work.

“Please?”

“No.”

You huff, and plonk yourself on a dining table chair. “Your wife is sick and you won’t even do the bare minimum to make her less miserable.”

“No no,” Zhongli laughs. “Let’s not go there, hm? You’ve rejected every single attempt I’ve made to lessen your pain.”

“I never asked for those attempts.” You reply indignantly.

“Okay, how about we make a deal? You rest that pretty mouth of yours while I make you something to eat, and when you return to your usual health we can hunt some Fatui down and make them regret making you ill. Is that satisfactory?”

You smile then, the disappointment that his proposal was a slight deviation from what you really wanted disappearing. You loved beating the Fatui to a crisp. Especially when it was a revenge mission.

a/n: can you tell i like brat tamers or is it not clear yet

[spoops-inliyue]

grrr its 4am too warm and im feelin petty SO im rollin in w a request for a hc😤😤😤

what abt zhongli, raiden, and/or childe act w an enby s/o who has kinda-not-rlly-chronic-illness and they constantly make jokes abt it and tries placing bets w ppl abt what will cause em pain that day if ur fine w it

mwa dont follow my example sleep and hydrate

| S/O who constantly makes jokes about their chronic pain condition

Character(s): Zhongli and Raiden/Ei

TW: Chronic pain, chronic condition (generally unspecified), mediation mention, betting, Xiao spoilers (? - Minor, if it isn't already common knowledge, idk)

Notes: Non-binary reader || We're not gonna talk about the fact that I went to sleep at 7 in the morning the day that you sent in this request m'kay 😌 But make sure to take care of yourself and hydrate too!!

Zhongli

He tries his best to joke along with you but he's struggling

He's already aware of chronic conditions because he makes quite the effort to learn as much as he can about humans in general and various area of study such as medicine and is more than aware of things like Xiao's karmic debt in regards to which he already finds himself very concerned about so it's very alarming to have you joking about it all of the time

He ends up developing a habit of noting what hurts and when and how often for you and will otherwise learn how to respond quickly if your pains are sudden and irregular

He's not actually too fond of the idea of you joking about your pain but, if it makes it easier to deal with, he'll leave it be but he does make an effort to try and lessen the pains with the help of anyone he can find

"I bet it'll be my joints that screw me over today. I bet 500 mora on it. Hey, Hu Tao, what do you think?" Yeah he's definitely not too on board with the fact that you manage to rope Hu Tao - and very easily for that matter - into betting mora on it but what can he do against the two of you when you're... The two of you?

He never stops you from betting on it - not that he could - but he puts all of his skills to use in ensuring your comfort. If you don't want him coddling you, then he's doing it discreetly but Baizhu will wring Zhongli dry of all of his mora and Zhongli will be more than willing. You will likely never know this

Unlike his mora, he'll never forget things like medication when he's out with you

Raiden

She has not been out in the world for a WHILE so hearing you joking about your pain throws her off no matter how many times she's heard it

She has her plane of Euthymia to remove her from feeling things like pain - physical, emotional, the pain of loss - so she's more alarmed than Zhongli at your constant jokes

Not to mention that she's emotionally inadept and most definitely is not accustomed to the idea of people using jokes to mask their pain

She can't really comprehend the idea of pain having no cause, or none that's visible at least so she's at a genuine loss of what to do and constantly asking Miko for advice which consists of both really good advice considering her being an immortal familiar but also just "Perhaps you should lock them in their room so you can monitor their condition."

Ei doesn't but she does consider it for a split second

She's almost painfully aware of your mortality so, while an immortal would be able to get used to it and just live with it without much issue, you're life was much too different and she's definitely rubbed the wrong way by the fact that you're having to spend your life with the pay and have it getting in the way of basic activities

She gets a lot more defensive over you in general and does tend to be rather straight forward with how she'll treat you and your condition but she doesn't stop the betting. She doesn't even realise that you probably shouldn't do that until Miko keeps denying your encouragement to place bets with you

Lantern Rite Xiaether Ship Ammo

Lantern Rite has, as always given us a bunch of shipping fodder for ships old and new. Figured I'd list off the highlights.

Edit: so this became a Xiaether ship moments essay. so i'll just do another post later breaking down the other ships. I'll link it Here. if you are looking for the Sapphic lesbian ships they will all be over there.

So the first bit of Xiaether shipping fodder is in the beginning of Part 2.

Xiao saving Aether from drowning. Xiao's concern is sweet and the fact he came when we were in danger without us calling his name. Tells us just how strong of a bond he has with Aether when Aether is in Liyue. Aether doesn't even need to say Xiao's name for Xiao to be able to sense when Aether needs him.

The argument can also be made that in a life or death situation with Adeptus on his mind. Aether did subconsciously call out to Xiao. Even so Aether has gotten to a point where he doesn't have to verbally call out for Xiao to "hear" him. Which I think is a great thing to provide to a character I see as selectively mute.

And the boring answer is Paimon was so loud Xiao could hear her yelling from where ever he was in Liyue.

But I feel bad that we seem to have legitimately worried him. I offhandedly said it during the stream that the Traveler isn't someone that would find himself in a situation struggling to swim in that small of a pool. But it's true and everyone there knows how strong traveler is. Aether would either have to be extremely injured which is what Shenhe asks. Or it would have to be intentional. Which it was. it was staged to try in lure out the mystery Adeptus. But Xiao didn't know that. From Xiao's point of view Aether went into a shallow pool of water with the intention to drown/harm himself.

This is why he gives the line "Your actions here cause other's a great deal of worry. Do not repeat them in the future." Xiao uses Shenhe as an excuse to say others. But the main person Aether worried was Xiao. Shenhe just saw someone drowning. Xiao sensed Aether drowning and came from some distant part of Liyue to save him.

We of course don't see Xiao again until the Epilogue but maaaan does Mihoyo make up for the wait.

While Zhongli is making a big thing of this being the First time he's met the Great Adeptus Alatus. A name he should NOT Know. Aether and Xiao just share a silent look with each other. Is it a look of surprise? Excitement? Xiao knew Aether would be here. So he shouldn't be surprised. Regardless the first person Xiao locks eyes with is Aether before being dragged into introductions with Zhongli and the others.

Of course we then get Hu Tao being the ultimate wingwoman and not only suggesting Xiao sit beside us. But sit beside us because we are "pretty close". Which of course Aether agrees with but adds they are also old friends at this point.

Zhongli being onto Xiao's crush on Aether kills me. In trying to figure out how Hu Tao convinces Xiao to come to the meal. Zhongli is quick to shoot down the idea that it was just because Hu Tao annoyed Xiao until he agreed. Again we later learn the only one's Xiao expected at this meal was Zhongli and Aether. And you could argue Zhongli tried to invite Xiao when stopping by to collect ingredients. But Xiao didn't agree to come then. It's not until Hu Tao mentions also inviting traveler that he agrees. (Hu Tao words it as no one present will be harmed by his karmatic debt. Xiao reads it as the other guest will be Aether).

The others start messing around and Aether takes that as a moment to quietly check in with Xiao. He continues to check in with Xiao throughout the rest of the dinner. Which is really sweet.

After being told Xiao is still good Aether then offers another thing. well you can ask about the secret friend who is Venti or you can offer to have Paimon eat the food Xiao can't finish. The other side of the table is arguing about Xingqiu's uneaten carrots. So this is Aether offering Xiao a quiet out so he doesn't feel forced to eat more than he can. Xiao has a lot of mental trauma linked to food and sometimes just can't stomach eating at all. So it's really sweet that Aether is not only checking in about the socializing but also the food related anxieties.

Of course after Zhongli and Venti take turns poking jabs at each other Aether reads it as an opening to leave for some fresh air. Xiao doesn't speak much during the interaction but Aether seems to read him reaching his limit at some point. The twist is telling Paimon to stay inside. Leading to Actual alone time with Xiao.

Xiao's first thought is to check in on Aether which is really sweet because Aether has been checking in all night with Xiao. Aether tosses the question back showing they are both concerned about how the other is handling dinner.

Xiao mentions envying Venti's ability to bond with humans and of course Aether say's Xiao's perfect the way he is. That he doesn't have to change himself to be more out going.

One he thinks about our conversations often. Two he finds them different but in a good way. It's different talking to Aether than other people, but not a bad different. Xiao then admits to coming because he knew Aether would be there. That Aether being there would make the dinner easier to handle. That without telling Aether before hand he could trust Aether to help him handle the meal without question.

Xiao mentions being surprised at who the other guests turn out to be. But goes on to say he shouldn't worry about it. Instead focus on the present that he's enjoying. The present of being outside alone with Aether.

Xiangling comes out seemingly ruining the moment. But instead makes it better by offering Xiao's comfort food Almond Tofu. Both of them get a plate but Xiao saves some of his for later.

Aether makes a joke about Xiao just teleporting on them. But it slightly misses? Because Xiao takes it seriously asking why he would do that. Xiao's enjoying himself and feels like there's no reason for him to leave. And so in his own way affirms that he doesn't want to leave yet.

Xiao tries to tell Xiangling she really didn't have to make the tofu. But it only takes one huff without words to communicate with Aether and realize he should just take the gift. I'm a firm believer of the selectively mute traveler and the reason Paimon talks so much is so Aether doesn't have too. So leaving Paimon shows how much he trusts Xiao and trusts the idea that he won't need the communication aid with Xiao. A thought that is proven correct when Aether doesn't have to say anything for Xiao to still understand what he means. Something Aether really only has with Paimon.

This is the end of their private conversation. So I'd like to once again point out how big a deal these private interactions are. Mihoyo decided to pause the entire epilogue to have Traveler go have a private conversation with one character. They could have picked any character in the room. Hell we don't even get a private conversation with Venti. Instead they decided the closest character to traveler, other than Paimon, was Xiao. Said conversation was just the both of them checking how the other was feeling about the seemingly stressful dinner. Showing concern for the other the entire time. Something you could argue we didn't need to see. We didn't gain any large information about the world or the characters in it. It was just a quiet conversation between to friends discussing how stressful family dinners can be.

They come back to the dinner seeming more relaxed. But continue sharing silent glances together as Venti rambles on about Zhongli. Xiao looking over to Aether for input and Aether's answer just being a shake of his head. Like you really don't want to bother stepping in. (god i wish i knew how to make gifs)

They play hot potato about who should light the incense. Xiao of course is the person to pick traveler. Stating he's the most distinguished guest, as everyone there knows him. Of course we see Aether's internal monologue as he puts together Xiao's about to point to him. Which is the cutest thing.

Eventually Aether picks Paimon to which everyone agrees. With Xiao's only comment being that he trusts the traveler's judgement. No surprise there Xiao.

After the dinner wraps up Zhongli once again points out Aether's unique bond with Xiao. That most people struggle to approach Xiao. But Aether has over come this and become his friend regardless.

Xiao ends up turning down the offer to explore the city. But unlike the first lantern rite where we only got him to the bridge or Xiangling's cook off where he stayed by the docks. Xiao did manage a few hours in the city which is a huge step up. But he's also able to tell where his limit is and steps back before he gets overwhelmed. Xiao of course thanks Aether for his help with that. And Aether insists Xiao doesn't have to thank him every time. Which Xiao excepts along with agreeing to a "next time". Whether that's a meal in the city or a large social gathering Xiao at least agreed to do it again with Aether.

And finally after it all. Xiao offers to eat the extra Tofu with us while listening to stories about the mortal world. Implying that no it doesn't have to be a special occasion or an emergency. Aether can hang out with Xiao when ever and talk about the most mundane things. And Xiao will be there to listen.

It's just so sweet. Xiao's bond with traveler really is something else and it's been so cool to watch it grow from that first lantern rite to this. This post is really long but if you've made it to the end I hope you've enjoyed it? Again I'll be making other posts breaking down other ships that showed up this lantern rite. Expect BeidouNingguang, Madam PingGuizhong, and XingqiuChongyun in that post along with more!

[tenebriism]

"Perhaps a little rest would serve you well?" Zhongli spoke, his voice soft. "Exerting yourself is not the wisest of ideas, Baizhu. I'd hate to see you fall ill." He handed the man a cup of tea, it really was the only thing Zhongli knew to offer. // (:

Baizhu WANTS to verbally swat back at Zhongli's concern with a huff of disdain -- he's ALREADY about as ill as one can be, what's a TAD more -- but, he knows it comes from a genuine concern for his well-being, and a touch of something MORE than they've been exploring these past few months. The addled pharmacist swiftly turns his head, tucking his mouth into his arm to cough, before offering the funeral parlor consultant a rather PITIFUL wave of his hand, and an equally pitiful chuckle. " Thank you, darling, but I assure you... it is nothing I am not used to handling. "

Still, he knows he shouldn't simply WAVE off Zhongli's heartfelt concerns like they mean nothing. Nay, the sick doctor knows he should be THANKFUL he has someone who cares about him to so intense an extent, especially when there are a number of BETTER things Zhongli could, certainly, be occupying his time with ( as much as Baizhu knows the geo wielder would argue otherwise ).

" Would it make you feel better if I limited myself to one more task for the evening? " In times like this, it's better to COMPROMISE; surely, he could handle ONE more, right? And then Zhongli needn't worry about him working well into the early morning hours as he is oft known to do. " --- and, you WILL be staying the night, will you not? I see no benefit in wrapping up early if I do not have a certain pair of warm, strong arms awaiting me at the end of it. "

A compromise, indeed, but a cheeky one, given the way Baizhu smirks at his partner, tapping the quill atop the hefty stack of parchment as if THREATENING to return to it, in full, should he not get what he wants.

The Royal Harem (Smut)

Synopsis: You have been working hard constantly every single day, finding ways on how to improve your nation. Your attention was solely upon the needs of your Kingdom, to the point where you have forgotten the needs of your own harem.

Characters: Diluc, Kaeya, Zhongli, Thoma, Childe

Warnings: sub!genshin, dom!reader, handjob, blowjob, reader has a cock, anal penetration, licking/sucking, use of toys, overstimulation, cum swallowing, belly bulge

Note: This is my first ever post here in Tumblr. So I hope I didn't disappoint anyone reading this story too much. Also, the reader is gender-neutral.

Although, you do have secretaries to help you with the load of paperwork— but somehow, they, too, were just as busy as you. You couldn't really complain either, since you're literally the sovereign of your very big Kingdom, and doing some paperwork was just the bare minimum.

ㅤ

You heaved out a sigh. The papers on your table never seem to stop itself from piling even more anytime soon.

However it was tiring, nonetheless. And you were getting bored of it. But as you know, you would do anything to keep your Kingdom thrive and be evermore prosperous than it already was.

"The perks of ruling a Kingdom," Dryly, you humoured yourself. Your eyes boredly stared at the piles of documents right in front of you.

A knock resonated from the door and a soft sound of a woman could be heard behind it.

"Your majesty, I have brought you the backlog of papers from last week."

"Come in."

The door opened and revealed Ganyu holding a few stacks of papers. She smiled softly at the sight of you as she walked towards your table.

"Miss Jean wanted to finish them for you, but unfortunately it requires the monarch's attention."

"I see. That's no problem, put them here please."

She did what she was told and carefully placed them down. You thanked her and Ganyu gave you a small curtsy. But as she lays her eyes on your desk, concern swallows her whole.

"You've been working for quite a long while now, shouldn't you take a break, your majesty?"

You look up from your paper and meet her gaze, "Don't fret, I'm fine. They're just papers anyway. I'm already used to this."

"But I fear you might be burning yourself out." The female adepti argued, "You always nag me whenever I overwork myself into taking a break..."

Your (e/c) eyes look up at her expectantly, "And you claim how the tables have turned?"

Ganyu let out a small laugh, pink hue faintly dusted her cheeks as she nodded. You playfully scoff and lightly push your chair back.

"Alright alright," You say, raising your hands in defeat. "I'll perhaps rest for a bit. I wouldn't dare to push my lady's worry and have her dwell on my health."

She blushed at your statement, "O-Oh, a wise choice, your majesty." And quickly bowed before leaving.

Deciding that was it for the day, you stood up from your seat and almost fell. You have been sitting for a long while that your legs fell asleep.

And the moment you decided to use them— you began to cringe at the prickling sensation in your legs. A small groan came out of you as you furrowed your eyebrows at the uncomfortable feeling.

You should have at least got out of your seat for some time while you had work. This simply could've been prevented.

But it's not like you won't do it again anyway. After all, you don't think you'll remember to at least move your legs while you work.

Walking to your bed chambers was tiring. Every time you get to think of the thought of laying on your bed— you would feel your legs on the verge of collapse.

But the bustling noises in your palace would always snap you back to reality, preventing you from further indulging your thoughts of your bed.

Softly, you sighed, as you set your eyes upon the familiar engravings of your chambers' doors.

However, due to your tired state, you have failed to notice the lack of guards who were supposed to be near your doors.

You jog a little, feeling excited to finally run into sleep's arms.

"Ah, bed. I can't wait to embrace you."

You sang as you opened the doors.

But you halted as the feeling of surprise swallowed you whole as the room was filled with silence.

"—!"

There, inside your room, were 5 men wearing nothing but their underwear and white satin robes.

Their eyes widened, they looked like a deer in the headlights. But then relaxed once they realized it was just the person they were waiting for.

Your mouth hung open. You weren't certainly expecting this. (E/c) eyes scanned each man inside the room.

There was Diluc, Zhongli, Childe, Thoma, and Kaeya.

"..."

You then began to break the silence, "What on Teyvat is going here?"

They snapped back from their shock at the sound of your voice. And Kaeya was the first to approach you. His signature smile appeared on his face.

"Your majesty," He bowed, "What perfect timing you have. We were just about to give you a little surprise."

Childe then approaches you next with a wide smile, "But you arrived a bit too early though. Well, no matter. Since their majesty is here, we shall give them our surprise."

"Hope we're not bothering you, your majesty." Thoma smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

You stared at them, unsure. What was going with them? You didn't recall having a rendezvous with any of your concubines. Seeing the confused look on your face, Zhongli decided to explain themselves.

"We've noticed that you've been awfully busy and you no longer spend any time with us anymore. So we decided, if you don't come to us, then we'll come to you."

"Of course, not all of us had agreed to share you and your time, but we know their majesty doesn't like it whenever we don't get along with the others." Diluc added, having a look of displeasure and his red eyes glared at Kaeya— who just merely shot him with an unaffected smile.

Oh right...

You have been so focused on your Kingdom's needs that you forgot to tend to your lovers and now they planned to have you to them right now.

Honestly, you were surprised that they managed to agree to share you— albeit reluctantly.

"So..." You began, "In conclusion, all of you missed me and now you're all needy."

Childe and Kaeya gave you a close-eyed smile. While Diluc blushed and looked away, Zhongli timidly nodded his head, and Thoma let out a nervous chuckle.

"I see..."

It was then you closed your door and took a step forward. Your eyes stared at all of them and a smirk appeared on your features.

Seeing your usual dominating behaviour, all of them visibly shivered in your presence.

"Then, shall we begin?"

---

And now here you are.

Currently, you are lying on your bed. Your hand was holding Diluc steadily as you thrust your cock inside him. The red head had his eyes rolled back and his back arched whenever your cock would hit that spot. His nails dug into your thighs, gritting his teeth at the euphoric sensation inside him.

"Ah ah ah—!"

He bounced shamelessly on top of you. Becoming undone as he came for the umpteenth time.

And Thoma was sitting on your face, being absolutely ruined by your skillful mouth. His grip on his ass was so tight— his knuckles turned white. He rolled his hips when he felt your tongue fucked his insides.

You would groan and moan, whenever you felt your hand brush on the red head's stomach— feeling a bulge on it whenever you roughly thrust inside him, your vibrations adding more to Thomas's delight.

"Ah— F-Fuck~"

Filthy sounds— ranging from pornographic moans, whimpers, grunts, groans, to the sinful sounds of skin slapping and soft gasps filled the room. And you're quite lucky there were no guards standing beside your doors.

Your dominant hand was working on Zhongli's needy hole, said man was whimpering and would often let out a small squeak whenever your long fingers would hit his sweet spot as you ravaged his insides. Truth be told that he lost count of how many times he came just by your fingers alone.

Childe and Kaeya, on the other hand, were the loudest. They had a double end toy phallus inside their holes and both moved at a simultaneous pace. Moaning loudly as they felt the urge to come again. Their eyes watched at how you ruined your other concubines. Their dicks hardened and tips wetted at the thought of their turn with you.

All of them looked liked sex starved prostitutes in a brothel.

Pleasure shook the entire room like an earthquake and it seemed like it wasn't going to stop any time soon.

"A—Ah, c-cumming!"

"Y-Your m-majesty~!"

Thoma and Diluc came simultaneously, and both were at the verge of passing out. With your adept skills, you were able to maneuver them both off of you and you gently lay them down on your large bed.

They both lie down tiredly and their eyes begin to close due to exhaustion.

Zhongli saw you were done playing with the pyro welding men and went to crawl towards you— You happily accepted him with open arms.

You lay down on the bed and have the brunet on top of you. He steadied himself before slowly inserting your cock into his hole.

As the tip went in— Zhongli swore he had seen stars blurring his vision and he let out the most filthy sound once you were fully inside him.

"Mnhm~" He cried softly.

"Are you alright there, love?" You asked. Feeling a bit of pride swells up in you as you smirk at the sight of the trembling almighty Geo dragon on top of you.

He nodded with a red blushing face, beginning to roll his hips— with you letting out a soft sigh at his actions.

Your hands were on his waist, keeping him steady while trying to make you both cum.

"Oh, yes~ Just like that, keep going..."

You let out a groan and the man riding you could help but arch his back at your sound. He did what he was told, he rode you like there was no tomorrow.

And once you felt like he was slowing down, you took matters into your own hands. You lift him up a bit before slamming your cock inside him hard.

"AH~!!"

A loud sound of euphoria left the dragon's lips and his eyes almost rolled all the way back of his head.

He came almost instantly. Squirting all over on you, the bed sheets, and on himself. Tears formed on his face and his mouth drooled at pleasurable sensation.

But you weren't done with him just yet. You repeated your actions, slamming hard inside over and over again overstimulating the poor man.

Trying to catch your high and which you eventually did. You painted his walls white as Zhongli came again together with you.

Both of you panted. Zhongli— despite being a dragon— fell off of you due to exhaustion but you managed to catch him and lay him properly onto the bed.

You smiled softly and kissed his forehead before averting your attention towards the two remaining men— who were still waiting for you.

"Your m-majesty~" Kaeya sang, giving you a sultry look when you met his gaze. You sat at the edge of your bed. Gesturing for the two to come closer.

And they did. Crawling towards you with such whorish looks— abandoning their toy as they did so.

Kaeya reached to you first and he immediately went to kiss you on your lips. His kisses were hungry like and you had to push him gently to prevent him from making you lie on your back.

Both your tongues danced in an unknown rhythm but you both made it work.

And while you two were trying to fight for dominance— Childe had happily dived his mouth down on your cock, he didn't give any warning and just went straight to devour your huge dick inside his pretty little mouth.

The ginger head's action caught you off guard and it made you collapse down onto the bed on your bed. Kaeya chuckled at you and proceeded to pleasure your upper half with his mouth.

He sucked and licked your nipple as he toyed with the other with his hand. You moaned softly and grunted, your hands went to play with their hairs as your concubines gave you a mewl sound of appreciation.

"Ah, C-Childe.....c-cummi—"

You didn't even finish your sentence when Childe took you in deep down his throat and you felt him going deeper, you came. You arched your back, bucking your hips and hitting the back of his throat making the ginger head almost gag at your movement.

"Mmmh~"

The bluenette hummed, feeling you tremble while you reached your climax. Gently, he grazed your nipple with his teeth, teasing you as it added more pleasure onto your body.

Childe pulled away from your cock and tried to swallow your load. He spilled some a bit but he was satisfied with the taste of you.

"Mmh... Your majesty taste so divine~ I want more~"

He spoke with lust evident in his voice, beginning to lick the cum that spilled on your dick.

"Childe— Ah!"

"Now, that's not fair. You should give some of your attention to me too, your majesty~"

Kaeya pouted, feeling jealous when it wasn't him you're focusing on. He then went lower to where the ginger-nette was and he, too, began to lick your spilled cum.

You panted, as you looked down. You almost came at the sight of your two concubines going down on you. Oh how you loved it when they worship your cock, as they have worshipped you as their King.

Childe smiled at the sight of you. You pulled him by the arm with gentle care, and you had him on top of you.

"I've been waiting for this." Said the man on top with an eager tone. He personally slammed your cock inside him earning a small hiss from you and a lewd mewl from him.

The harbinger sang lewd sounds, as he bounced with harsh movements on you.

"Oh f-fuck—!"

He came when he felt you hit his prostate. But that didn't stop him, planning to overstimulate himself to see how far he can go.

Meanwhile, Kaeya made himself busy with your mouth. Your free hand was stroking his cock and that made him moan in your kiss.

Your hand movement synced with Childe's pace. Feeling the blue haired man shiver at the pleasurable feeling down his lower half.

He came as the other did— again— and the former started to move on his own accord, using your hand as if it was a fleshlight

Kaeya, knowing he'll be next soon, pulled away from your lips and moved on to your neck next, then on to the rest of your body. Biting, sucking, and nibbling the places that he knew would make you shiver.

He sat up, smirking at his masterpiece. Seeing you littered with all his love marks makes him swell up with pride.

"Ah!"

The ginger-nette came again for the umpteenth time and almost fell on you when you quickly held him before removing him off you.

He was panting, out of breath, lying there tired and contented with the cum that was inside him and was dripping down his thighs.

You move a stray hair off his face before placing a soft kiss on his cheek, bidding him sweet dreams.

Then, you turned to face the last of your lovers.

"Your turn." You grinned, your breath slightly ragged due to the 'activities' you've been doing.

Kaeya giggled, "Finally." Before lying down on his back, a blush was visible on his face. He wrapped his arms around you and captured your lips with his in a feverish kiss.

You pulled away from him and went to place your kisses on his neck— inserting yourself inside him as you did so.

A soft gasp left his lips when he felt you inside him, he released once he realized how big you were. You chuckled seeing him tremble, his embrace on you was tight but slowly went loose when he finished his high.

"M-Move...please..."

"Very well."

You smiled and did what you were told. Your pace started slow but it increased once the bluenette requested you to move faster.

"Hah— hah..."

"Ngh~"

You hit his prostate over and over again, making Kaeya see stars in his vision. He cried out in pleasure, his nails dug the skin of your back— slightly drawing a bit of blood.

He was close again, you could tell, by how he clenched tightly around you. You sighed blissfully at the feeling and you, too, were almost at your limit.

"Your majesty! I-I'm cumm—"

"I k-know. Hah... Me t-too..."

You pounded him for awhile, before finally releasing all your pent up seed inside your favourite pirate looking lover. You came together with him and his entire body shook.

His embrace around you was gone and instead his hands were gripping the sheets tightly.

Both of you were out of breath, but Kaeya was beginning to pass out. You stayed inside him for a bit, making sure he was getting the most of his climax and when he finally showed signs of subsiding, you carefully pulled yourself out of him.

Sweat lingered on all your skins'. You saw the bluenette smiling at you before succumbing to the sweet hold of sleep.

You looked at the rest of your concubines and noticed that all of them were now asleep.

You chuckled to yourself. Ah, one of the perks of ruling a Kingdom: was to take care of your harem with equal care and love.

You stood up, albeit your stance was wobbly and you were slightly dizzy. You playfully scoffed, they did a toll on you. And you proceeded to cover them all up with a large blanket.

Though, usually you would not prefer to let them sleep on a cum/drool stained bed, but there's nothing you can do about it now. You'll just have to make it up till next time.

Sighing, you mentally made a reminder to yourself: When in tending to the needs of your Kingdom, never ever forget the needs of your own harem.

Otherwise, you might never be able to get out of bed.

[wri0thesley]

Nat… nat… genshin men and somnophilia 🫣 Diluc who just needs to have you so, so bad. Comes back from his dark knight escapades and you’re asleep, vulnerable and innocent and so lovely and he can’t stop himself from touching you all over. Or Childe who just would never stop if he desires you, just eagerly starts grinding against you or touching you, doesn’t care if you wake up!! OR PANTALONE… Because he owns your body and he has a right to it any time he pleases. Wahh help the brain rot is consuming me.

somno.... sigh....

cw: not sfw, minors dni. somno, reader is afab but no pronouns or gendered language are used. dub-con, especially for pantalone - relationships are implied to be consensual but the discussion of consent doesn't take place within the hcs. fingering, grinding, oral sex (on reader), teasing. ft: diluc, childe, pantalone, zhongli, lisa, ayato.

diluc, who can't help but be overwhelmed whenever he slips back into his bedroom and sees you waiting for him, asleep amongst silken coverlets in expensive nightclothes. you're so peaceful - so lovely, your mouth curved in a half smile . . . of course he can't help himself. he has to remind himself that you're real; hot palms dragging over every curve and line, the heavy, warm weight of you so terribly erotic against his bare skin now that his gloves have been stripped away. after a long night of fighting for monstadt, it's a luxury to allow himself to sink into your warm embrace - but his pent-up emotions need to be taken out somehow, and you make it clear how you think he should as you sleepily blink at him and spread your thighs, already falling asleep once more even as you implicitly tell him that he can use you as he needs.

childe, who is constantly dealing with all of the hormones of being a young man in a position of power, as well as an unfortunate lack of impulse control where the most beloved person in his life is concerned; who thinks you're beautiful when you're quirking an eyebrow at him and shooting back one-liners with a smugly satisfied smile, but thinks you're just as beautiful quietly beside him. who lets his eyes wander over your body, whose gaze lingers on the bruises on your hips from just how roughly he held you last night - and feels his cock twitching at the mere memory of that. who says he'll simply satisfy himself with some touching, but is soon messily mouthing at your throat and grinding his stiff cock against your ass until, oops, you're awake and that means he can just go to town on you now, right?

pantalone, who, yes, can touch you whenever he likes - pantalone who knows he has you body and soul and knows that you belong to him and uses that knowledge to unload whenever he's had a particularly difficult day. sometimes that means having you in his office, over his desk, to work out a little frustration when a plan he has doesn't come to fruition. sometimes that means on his lap in a meeting of harbingers, whilst the others try not to look at how your hands curl into his cloak and you muffle your whimpers against his throat as you warm his cock and keep him in a calm, affable mood amongst some of his more volatile colleagues. and yes, of course that means whilst you're sleeping - you're his, aren't you? and shouldn't you, then, wish to please him whenever and however you can? oh, he could be cruel - but even when you're asleep, he's spoiling you with the way his thumb is dragging circles over your clit and his fingers are curling inside of you, so giving yourself over to his pleasure even in slumber is really the least you can do.

zhongli, who needs to sleep little himself, but cannot help enjoying watching you do so - the reminder of his most precious treasure laid out on his bedsheets like a work of art. his touches are intended to be lazy, but when you react so sweetly - when you sigh out his name, when you arch your back and squirm as his claws brush the soft skin of your bare thighs . . . ah. you wouldn't mind, would you? if he indulged some of that hunger that you always seem to stoke deep within him. when you wake up to zhongli's forked tongue flickering over your sex, his low, rumbling voice murmuring pretty things against your slick skin and the soreness in your hips and thighs and body that suggests that you've come whilst sleeping more times than you can count . . . mm. well. you won't mind helping him with his own pleasure now, will you?

lisa, who likes nothing more than lazy mornings in bed with you . . . and likes them even more when she awakes first, and you're utterly at the mercy of her long fingers slipping between your thighs. who loves playing the game of how long you can stay asleep whilst she teases you, who murmurs softly in her low, pretty voice; "oh, darling, don't start stirring now . . . just lay back and let lisa take care of you, alright?". lisa, who uses the orgasm she wrings from you (your eyes stickily blinking open to the sight of her licking your own arousal from her fingers) as proof she's already done some hard work today, and therefore she deserves to lay back down beside you and drift off once more.

ayato, who delights in teasing you whilst you sleep. who slips in long after you've come to bed and cannot resist just playing with you a little; who brushes his cool lips over your chest, ghosts his tongue over your nipples until your sweet face creases and you whine. who simply presses his cheek against your soft thigh and lets his hot breath fan over your cunt until he can see that you're shifting, that the tell-tale glimmer of wetness is beginning to shine between your legs. who may, if he's feeling generous, even brush his fingertips over your poor, untouched sex-- and who always, without fail, when you wake up in the morning after suggestive dreams that leave you unsatisfied, asks with a faint smile on his handsome face; "and how did you sleep, my darling? i found that you were rather . . . restless last night."

[hiraya-rawr]

Call Me By My Name (Zhongli SAGAU Drabble)

synopsis: you didn't want acolytes, you wanted friends. you reveal this on a vulnerable night to zhongli.

contains: sfw intimacy; comfort; touch-starved characters?; maybe angst; platonic but can be romantic cuddling

note: inspired by CMBYN film (a beautiful work of art!!) btw read Zhongli's character stories, they add a bit of angst to this hehehe

"Not once have I ever considered myself your god." You mutter, hands gripping onto the front of his dress shirt. Zhongli stood before you as you sat on your bed.

The man had knocked on the entrance of your chambers to ask how you were faring just a little after the last candles of the night were blown out. Under the guise of only moonlight, you sat by the open window and told him you were doing fine.

Except, it wasn't fine.

To suddenly die in your first life and transmigrate to a world you once thought was simply a game was hard to accept.

It's been months now: you formed bonds, traveled Teyvat, and dealt with the whole "you are our divine god and we are your loyal acolytes" scenario. Most days, it was easy to drown in the euphoria of the new and exciting world; but during the night, it was harder to come to terms with experiencing death.

You were the one who died yet it seemed like everyone in your past life died without you. Leaving you in a place so strange and magical, you still wonder if this was a dream, a hallucination, a brain issue.

Zhongli picks up these cues quite easily. He's been around for more than 6,000 years after all. He lingers by the doorway, face contorted with slight concern as you tell him that you really are okay.

He steps closer to ask if you'd like some tea before bed. You shake your head no.

He takes a robe from an ottoman, telling you that you'll get cold sitting by the window. You say it's fine, you're not cold., but your body betrays you and shiver at the gust of wind. Zhongli doesn't hesitate to place the robe over your shoulders.

"How about we get you to bed, divine monarch?" You frown at the title.

"I thought we agreed you can call me Y/n? At least, when we're alone?" You tell him, arms slowly wrapping around his neck as he carries you to your bed bridal style.

"Alright... Y/n," He hesitates to say it as if it were blasphemy for someone like him to speak of something so divine.

"Say it again," You push. He places you down gently on your bed only to pause when your arms tighten around his neck, refusing to let go. His skin on yours felt so warm. Your chin was on his shoulder, your ear next to his lips: you want to hear him say it so close to you.

"...Y/n," There's hesitation, you note, as you kept your grip on him. He puts one knee down on the mattress to steady himself, his arms deciding to wrap around your waist. He really shouldn't be on the bed of the divine one but you're as stubborn as you are human.

"Again."

"Y/n." You smile — it just sounds so so sweet when he says it directly. He parts his face from your shoulder to look you in the eyes with his honey dripped ones.

"Again."

"Y/n."

You pull him down with you on the bed with a light chuckle, arms making their way around him and face to nuzzle in his chest — to be held so lovingly like this was almost healing. He was warm and comforting, nothing like the stiff and formal gestures of those you meet in the morning. Even then, mortals dare not touch you in anyway since your ascension to your title.

Perhaps it was the silence that wafted over you two, or the feel of your warmth on his body that snapped him back to reality.

To lie next to the divine monarch — sure he's grown quite comfortable with your presence, he's carried you multiple times and warmed you with his hands whenever you so much as ask — but to be in such an intimate setting with someone he revered so much felt...

"Zhongli?" Your voice breaks his thoughts, seeing him zoning out. He sits up straight, arms untangling from you before sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You should rest now... Y/n," He fixes his dress shirt, giving you a kind smile as he stands up. Had this happened a few months ago, he'd be apologizing profusely for letting his desires to hold you overtake him; even when you'd reassure him it's okay.

Your eyebrows furrow as you sit up, "Won't you stay for a bit?" It comes out almost like a plea. His eyes meet yours but he quickly averts them away.

"I wouldn't wish to disturb your night any m-"

"You're not disturbing, I'm sure you know that."

"It's getting quite late-"

"So stay the night?"

"You need to rest, your holiness." and it slips past his slips as you pause in your reply.

"... It's Y/n," You say looking down on your hands. He wasn't making eye contact with you anyway.

"...Y/n, I shouldn't-" He sighs, there's a feeling of defeat but he doesn't quite understand why, "I shouldn't rest next to y-"

"This life is lonely, Zhongli," You say, crawling closer to the end of the bed, "Surely you understand that? As a God?"

He freezes, eyes back on your eyes. As the oldest of all the archons, the god of contracts, god of war, god of commerce, god of history, the warrior god, Morax, Rex Lapis, the prime adepti — surely, he must understand loneliness, right?

Which lead to this situation with the former Geo Archon.

"Not once have I ever considered myself your god." You mutter, hands gripping onto the front of his dress shirt as you hid away from his gaze. Zhongli stood before you as you sat on your bed.

"I want a friend, Zhongli, please."

He reaches for your hands on his shirt, making you release your hold. He intertwines his fingers with yours in replacement. He kneels back down on the bed to be eye level with you, a melancholy look in his eyes but a small smile on his lips.

The night is quiet save for the two of you in your bedroom; under the covers, his arms wrapped tightly around your waist, your hands in his. There's light shuffles of blankets and hushed whispers of hopes and dreams and lands far away. His voice lulls you to sleep.

—

"This isn't fair! I want to sleep with their holiness too!" A harsh whisper wakes you. The sun is shining through the windows and the birds are chirping, you turn to your side to see a certain green bard pouting at Zhongli.

"You'll wake their holiness by barging in he-" Zhongli stops to see you sitting up on the bed. He sighs, "It seems that they're awake now." He sighs, rubbing his temples before a thought caused a glimmer in his eyes.

"How was your rest, Y/n?" There's a sly smirk on the geo user's face as he says your name. The god of wind stares at him, mouth agape.

"This isn't fair at all! You get to sleep with them and call them by their name? I want that as well!" Venti groans, glaring at the taller man and turning to you with puppy eyes.

"Sleeping? I- I also wish to sleep with their holiness!" Ei pops up from the doorway, face with a light blush, "If they allow it, of course-"

"You're both causing such a ruckus in the morning," Zhongli scolds.

You looked on at the three archons as they began to bicker, a wide grin growing on your face. They turn their attention to you and you laugh.

"Yay! A sleepover tonight!"

"A what?"

note: yes zhongli is my comfort character :> diluc may be my fiery love, but zhongli feels like home.

also, i changed the title to divine monarch since your grace sounds a bit odd, it's a ducal title so :// i like "your holiness" or "divine monarch" a lot more :D

[whoistartaglia]

r u mine?

summary: you are tired of the back and forth of the chase with zhongli and decide that it's finally time to him what you two are.

warnings: gender neutral reader, fluff.

notes: inspired by r u mine? by the arctic monkeys.

you played with your hands when you got nervous. cracking your knuckles, lacing and unlacing your fingers, twiddling your thumbs. it was a tell as clear as day, and all those around you recognized it.

so when you stood in front of your door, hands moving with a mind of their own, zhongli had to wonder what you could be so worried about. to him, the day was a good one. almost perfect, even. after finishing up at the funeral parlor, he had offered to walk you back home just like he always did, and you accepted, just like you always did. 

although, looking back on it, zhongli remembered a slight look of apprehension when you replied. and throughout the walk, you seemed a little more quiet than usual tonight, preferring to let the conversation fade in and out. zhongli didn’t think anything was wrong with that. maybe you just needed some peaceful silence after a long day. 

but now at the end of the walk, it seemed that he should have been more concerned at your initial abnormal behavior. 

zhongli glanced down at your hands and back up at your face. “is there anything wrong, [you]?”

you opened your mouth to reply, but shook your head instead. you gave him what you hoped was a reassuring smile. 

zhongli thought it looked more like a grimace.

“i’ll see you tomorrow,” you said. you sounded a little resigned, your voice laced with tiredness and something else zhongli couldn't quite place.

zhongli could have said goodbye and left right there. on any other night, he might have, letting you to mull over your worries on your own, as you usually preferred to do. but tonight, zhongli couldn’t help but ask again. “are you sure you’re alright?”

at that, your hands started fidgeting faster, if that was even possible. so without thinking, he reached out and held them, effectively rendering them still as he covered them with his own. 

or maybe it was your surprise that stilled them. you were used to the fleeting brush of hands, a brief moment of contact, when working together. but never had he done anything like this. 

“i’m fine, really,” you quickly replied. “but, zhongli, i just—“ the words were falling out of your mouth with your permission. a part of you wished you could reach out and stuff them back down your throat. 

a smaller part of you was glad you couldn’t. 

“please, what is it?” he asked. his eyes were completely sincere and he had subconsciously begun rubbing small circles into your palms with his thumbs.

you forced yourself to relax and summoned all the courage you had. there was no turning back now. “are you mine?”

the world stilled at the question, as if it was holding its breath, waiting for the answer. you had been wanting to ask him this for a long time now, ever since he first started walking you home all those months ago. ever since you and him exchanged more glances and smiles during work. ever since he took care of you and made you tea when you were feeling unwell. 

and today, you felt that you couldn’t go another day wondering what you two were to each other. if anything at all. 

a relieved smile bloomed on zhongli's face. “was that what you were so nervous about?”

he clasped your hands together with his on the outside. “i’m sorry, my dear. i thought it was rather obvious.”

you tilted your head to the side, which earned a chuckle out of him. 

“i adore you. i thought you knew that,” zhongli clarified. the world stopped holding its breath. “you shouldn't have needed to ask. i am yours. i have been for a while now.” 

[etsuven]

you are (y/n): a royal living in the kingdom of aetas*, and the time has finally come for you to choose who to marry. as a way of looking for a future spouse, you begin searching all across the land of teyvat. your parents weren't very picky with who you chose, so it shouldn't have been that hard. but really-

who knew that there were so many men willing to marry you?

Xiao your personal knight. he was appointed to you when you were both young, so you practically grew up together. he was adept at many things: fighting, teaching you how to defend yourself, reading your practiced facial expressions, and of course, protecting you.

ever the stoic person, xiao is the type to stand by you and stay quiet unless you ask him something. he much rather preferred to- as you liked to say, "stand there and look pretty." he always looked at you weird when you said that. after all, he believed that he was just doing his job.

he often found himself shooing away strange people who tried to make moves on you. he claimed time and time again that he was only doing it to keep you safe- and while that may be true, you've begun to think that he's doing it more out of jealousy than his concern for your safety. or maybe he's right and you're just overreacting.

Zhongli the king of the liyue kingdom, and quite a lovely man! you met him a few times in the past in places like royal balls, finding that he was naturally a gentleman. unlike most other people you met, he was respectful with his touches. he always had his hands clasped either in front or behind him, and he only ever touched you when dancing or kissing the back of your hand as a greeting.

he seemed very sweet, but you found that he had quite the extensive knowledge about war tactics. how to plan, where to strike first, how to absolutely obliterate someone in battle... things like that.

zhongli had the tendency to ramble on about things, which was quite handy when you needed something to fall asleep to. you've always tried to keep your eyes open, but they just end up closing on their own. and the next thing you know, you're tucked into your bed. this happens every time you're with zhongli, and you've begun to think that he does this on purpose since it helps you sleep after a particularly stressful day...

Ayato a noble from the inazuma kingdom, and another respected man. you didn't know him very well, so you never really had much to say about him. you had heard rumors that he was an incredibly smart and efficient man, leading his clan at a concerningly young age- and all while taking care of and protecting his younger sister.

you had also heard about how he had survived an assassination attempt from one of the most feared assassins in the land! the assailant was reportedly able to disappear and reappear at will, but the young master managed to outsmart him in the end.

facinating, you thought. maybe you'd be able to learn a thing or two from him.

Thoma one of ayato's guards, and the housekeeper of his manor. along with your parents, you'd visited the inazuma kingdom on a few occasions, and he was the first you noticed. after all, blonde hair and pretty green eyes weren't exactly common in inazuma.

and what a coincidence, you later found out that he was from the same kingdom as your childhood friend!

now, thoma was absolutely the sweetest guy you had ever met. he was kind, hospitable, and he knew the best places in inazuma to eat at. you tried your best to pay for your meals in return for his hospitality, but he never let you. always greeting you with a smile and sending you off with a kiss on your knuckles and a deep bow...

ah, he really is too nice for his own good.

Venti your dear childhood friend. the two of you had known each other since you were babies. he was a tad bit older than you, and since you were both royals, you had plenty of time to bond together. your childhoods were spent running around the castle halls, playing tag in the many passageways that littered the area.

venti always seemed to have a childish wonder to him, and that trait only persisted as the two of you got older. once you began to get swamped with royal duties, venti was always somehow there to provide a stress free environment for you to relax in.

whether it be a picnic in your garden, or a late night walk on the outskirts of your kingdom where you spent most of your time catching blue crystalflies. now, you had to admit- you had quite the crush on him when you were younger. the feelings have faded away by now, but they were quite fun while they lasted...

Kaeya a noble and the son of the late crepus. as he is adopted, he is not the heir of the ragnvindr house. unlike most would think, he doesn't mind it. he spends his free time roaming around the kingdom, making personal connections with people- unlike his dear brother. no offense to him.

you've met kaeya on a few occasions while hanging out with venti (xiao was tagging along, as a personal knight should.) he was often one of the ones shooed away by xiao due to his attempts at flirting with you. kaeya and venti were acquainted as they drank together a lot.

kaeya flirted with almost anyone, so you never knew if his flirting attempts were just his personality or genuine. did his smooth words genuinely fluster you at times? maybe, but we won't get to that now.

Albedo the chief alchemist of your alchemy department. he was very, very smart, and you often found him helping you out with your studies. normally they were quite boring. confusing math and science, sleep inducing reading and history... but with albedo there, everything was calm and fun...

he was patient with you, explaining things carefully and working things out with you if needed. albedo with his pretty hair and pretty glasses and pretty smile...

this meant nothing. you were just a sucker for pretty men.

anyways, albedo was quite the calculative person. he was another person who knew how you were feeling based off of your facial expressions, which was both a blessing and a curse. he knew when you were frustrated with something, which was a sign for him to grab your favorite drinks and snacks and take a break. now, this was something you'd always appreciated about him.

alrighty, here's the cast! keep in mind that not all of these are love interests, they're just the people who made it into the top five (with the exception of thoma and ayato who were guaranteed to be in the fic when i first thought of making something like this.)

these also aren't in any particular order because i didn't want to give away who the endgame was. i just randomized it a bit! you may think that you know who the endgame is based on what i wrote, but you're most likely wrong!

*oh, and the pronunciation for aetas is “ah-aye-tas”

I'm writing this in bed so sorry if it's long winded and weird!

✨ I really love arranged marriage aus for him, and contract things they're fun

✨ He's a very particular person. At base he would prefer if you follow all his rules without complaint. If you don't like some he will give you a chance to raise concerns and tell him why you believe you shouldn't have to do specific things, and if he sees your side positively he will bend to your will on that particular thing to reach a compromise. but if he doesn't see the value in the points you bring up he will explain how you are 'wrong' and you will have no choice but to stick to his rules exactly.

✨ If you aren't already originally from Liyue he wants you to learn as much as possible about Liyue. Traditions, culture, food, current affairs, language, everything. He dedicates so much to this that it takes up almost all of your time for the first 3 months of being together until he believes you have strong foundations for every subject. Only then will it switch to a lighter casual load of learning. After all, you will have.... A lot of time together to continue studying. Practically eternity. He just needs you to quickly build enough of a base knowledge to get by at first. If you are originally from Liyue he will just start off with the casual lessons.

✨ The one good thing about that though is he has a slightly similar value about learning about your own culture if you aren't from Liyue. You're joined together now, are you not? You will both focus on Liyue as this is your residence and will remain so. But, he will not erase the past and he wants them to know where you come from and to be able to answer questions on your behalf. It can be overbearing, but at least it's YOUR time to talk.

✨ Overall, he's having you stay near him and when you're not with him, you're at home in his adepti realm or being watched over by someone he trusts.

✨ He's a weird middle ground between trusting and untrusting of his darling. He trusts them because there's no way he'll let them break a contract (and they've made one if they're with him) but he distrusts them in relation to others outside of their relationship unaffected by any contracts. Either way he sets clear rules to follow and if something gets through those rules he makes you sit down and revise them together and sign.

✨ Because of his contracts his punishments are more severe and he tailors them to what he believes will make you 'learn' the best so it won't happen again.

When you reject them

characters; Scaramouche, Kazuha, Childe, Yoimiya, Hu Tao

;contains a quite a few story spoilers! And a little yandere at Scara's part.

Zhongli, Ganyu and Ayaka were here originally but god idk what flaw i could use against disciplined peeps to get reader to dump them shshhsshs

Scaramouche

Ah. Of course.

This isn't the first time someone had rejected who he truly was. Who in the right mind would love a mere puppet? Maybe he shouldn't have revealed this truth he oh so despises.

He thought, that maybe, you were different, that you'd accept him and his feelings, not as The Balladeer or as the Shogun's prototype, but as Kunikuzushi, the forevermore chalked embodiment with a soul longing for appreciation.

But boy, was he wrong.

"I'm sorry, Kuni-, I mean, Scaramouche. But I simply wish to live in peace with my family." His arms stiffed under your sorrowful gaze as you handed him back the bouquet he bought for you. "And, being with you will prevent me from doing that."

"...I see." He looked away as he somehow heard his heart crack into small pieces.

"D-don't get me wrong!" You flailed your arms in concern, "You're a good person! But, I'm afraid I can't overlook your title as a Harbinger..."

You both had gone silent after. Well what could you say? You can't just apologize for breaking a man's heart. Especially to someone who's already as fragile as he is.

You felt your eyes widen when he slowly started approaching your figure. "What are you-"

You were cut off as he patted your head with a small rare smile upon his features.

"It's okay. Your cautiousness is one of the things I liked about you after all." He retracted his hand as he stepped back, slowly donning his hat once again. "I guess, this is farewell, as Kunikuzushi atleast." You noticed his hand gripped the bouquet tightly as he bowed towards you, before he turned around and started walking away, leaving you under the falling petals of sakuras.

What did he mean by "atleast"?

Kazuha

He slowly writhed in pain as he looked at you interact with Gorou. You both looked terribly down for each other, it was so obvious that you harbored feelings for each other that the whole resistance army ships you both.

He clutches the bamboo flute you had made for him specifically in his hand, reminding himself that not all hope has been lost, especially with the look of adoration you adorned him with as he played the flute during a sunset in Watatsumi Island.

"Y/n." You heard him call out from up the trees as you were making your way towards the camp.

"Oh, Kazuha." You smiled as you waved at him, which he took as signal to jump down in front of you.

"There's something I wanna tell you."

"What a coincidence. Me too!" You laughed a bit, too giddily...he thought. "You can go first though."

"I- uh, no. You can go first." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. Could you possibly be...?

"O-oh well, actually..." You put your arms behind your back as your face flushed a bit. Kazuha gulped at your actions. Are you actually gonna...?

"Me and Gorou started dating!" You giggled happily, as he froze in shock, but alas, you didn't notice. "I actually wanted to tell you this quite a bit ago, since you're a close friend of ours, but-"

The rest of your words were tuned out as Kazuha stood completely still, not quite processing your words.

"You guys...are dating...?" He repeated, still not believing.

You stopped your babbling as you looked at him with a raised brow. "Yeah...we are. Are you okay? You don't look too well." You stepped closer to inspect his horrified look.

His doubts and thoughts spiraled as he tried to wrap his head around those words. He couldn't believe it. No way, he can't. He couldn't believe that...

he had lost you to him already. (this isn't really a rejection but i can't hurt my boy like that)

Childe

"Bleeghhhh! You'll never catch me!" Ajax stuck out a tongue as he dodged a snowball you had threw at him. "You always speak way to soon!" You ran behind a rock to dodge one of his throws as you scooped up another batch of snow.

Playing with him, never felt cold. Even in the everlasting cold winters in Schneznaya, simply being in his presence was warm and delightful, almost like a fireplace, haha. Kinda ironic, considering the sudden chill you felt down to the very bottom of your being when he walked past you silently after missing in the forest for 3 days straight.

He changed.

Just what had happened during those 3 days? It all still remains a mystery to you and his neighbourhood.

You frowned as he appeared before you once again, this time wearing an all too familiar uniform. Way proudly. Too proudly.

"Of course, you became a Harbinger. Of course." You sighed, disappointed with his choices. Where was the boy you loved who would always bring hot bread from his home to yours? And who was this man named Childe, in front of your doorstep?

"I-" His smile fell at your expression. "Aren't you proud?" You looked down at your feet as you spoke up, "I...how could i be proud? When you're now affiliated with the Fatui, as one of their lords at that?"

He blinked. Was this because he had stopped playing with you a few years back? "Are you...angry with me joining them?"

You looked at his lightless eyes as you cupped his face with gentle hands. "It's more like...I feel sad."

"About what?"

"It's nothing you have to worry about." You stepped back onto the other side of the doorstep, keeping your silent pleas for him to come back near your heart, long decided to be unsaid. "It's better to not be know, as it'll probably affect your line of work." You smiled as you tried to close the door, but suddenly his hand had stopped it.

"What are you saying?? I came here since I felt that..." He frowned. "That you felt the same way."

"What way? You mean loving you?"

"Yes."

"Childe." You stared at him blankly. "I'm engaged."

And he fell down into misery, yet again.

Yoimiya

"The fireworks are as spectacular as always, Yoimiya." You lifted your gaze to the sky blooming with colorful lights, "It seems you've went after a romantic theme for today." You say as you spotted multiple heart-shaped explosions in the sky.

"Oh, that's- uhmm..." Yoimiya looked down at her feet, with an uncharacteristically shy voice. "It's just..."

"Oya?" You felt your lips tug into a smirk. "Did our Queen of Narukami find herself a little crush? Mind telling me who has the honor of catching the attention of her majesty?"

"Eh???!" Her eyes widened as she felt herself get hotter.

"Pfft, you should really look at yourself right now." You laughed a bit at her sudden shyness.

"D-do you really wanna know who it is?"

You blinked at her demeanour. "Not if you're uncomfortable with it."

"It's fine." She put down her sparklers as she stood up, fully taking the view of the fireworks. "This person...has always been by my side." She started. "They...had always supported me with my passion for fireworks. Even though I failed many times, resulting in some severe burns, they were always the one patching me up, and telling me that I shouldn't give up, even if I didn't plan to, hehe."

You felt your chest tighten as you connected the dots. There's no way she's talking about...

"Hey, Y/n." She turned to you with a smile that mirrors the beauty of the fireworks, "I like you. I really do."

"..."

"I already know...that you like Ayaka, but...!"

"Yoimiya." You halted her words. You felt your mood dampen with the visible hurt in her eyes. "I...only see you as a sister of mine. I don't think i can-" You sighed, not wanting to have to tell her this way. "I don't think i can see you as anything beyond that."

You could only watch as she smiles to herself, and silently cry, knowing she'd never win against an actual princess.

Hu Tao

"Ah-!" You exclaimed as you felt something heavy jump on you from behind.

"Hello, my lovely Y/n!" She giggled as she stuck on to you like a koala, "Nice to see you today!"

You sighed as pried her off from you. "Hu Tao, not now. I'm busy." You heard her huff as she crossed her arms.

"Collecting debts is sooo boring! Why don't you come work at the parlor instead?" She winked at you, as if she just suggested some completely genius. "I'll give you an extra bonus on your pay if you bring new customers, ehe!"

"Stop disrupting my work. Besides, the Tsaritsa has given me enough money already."

"Then why continue working for themmmmm, boo hooo!"

"Hu Tao, just leave me alone. I don't feel like dealing with you today."

She felt a pang in her heart, yet her smile didn't waver. "Oh, come on! Just admit it, you like me being around-"

"No. You're annoying." You stated as you looked towards her. "I seriously don't get why you keep going after me. Can't you go annoy someone else, like Zhongli?"

Her ruby eyes widened at your harsh words. "I-I just wanted to-"

"To cheer me up?" You fixed your position to fully face her. "Being in the Fatui has shown me all the ugly sides of this world. You're only constantly reminding me of my siblings that I'll never see again."

Hu Tao looked down at her feet, knowing fully well that she did nothing but pester you.

"My anger towards you right now may be misplaced, but you'll need to know that I also need space."

"I already know all of that." She spoke up, with a new determined look in her orbs. "It's precisely why I keep insisting you to be with me so you could be happy. You're all alone...and i just wanted to change that."

You frowned at her words, "Why are you trying so hard to-"

"Because I love you!"

Your eyes widened as she gritted her teeth. "I've always loved you!"

"Hu Tao."

"-Ever since that time you found me at Wuwang hill, and helped me move on from my grandfathe-"

"Hu Tao."

She looked up with tears prickling her eyes.

"If I were the same person all those years ago, I would've accepted your confession with no question." You looked down at your own feet this time,

"But unfortunately, I'm not the same as I used to be."
