Okay so this one is a bit into super-AU(/modern???) territory, but I was deep into a rabbit hole on space (I like black holes and pulsars a lot :D) when I had a great thought:
Us as an astronaut + space (entity??) Legacy
Admittedly I don't know much about astronauts beyond the training that they have to go through to be able to go to space, but I do think it'd be cool to just, like, see Legacy on the moon or something.
~ The anon who wanted Kaveh but didn't want Baizhu or Ganyu Ooooo what if the Abyss was, like, one of those theoretical other sides of a black hole? People like making theories about black holes, and I really like the ones about parallel universes and wormholes so- P.S. I might talk more about this concept/idea later to be honest, because I really Love Space :D
OHHHH I LIKE THIS ONE I LOVE FLUFFY COSMIC MOTH!!!
you didn't train with the intention of meeting an interstellar void being, you mostly wanted to explore new horizons, go places few have ever been before and see the infinite sky as a place rather than a backdrop of your world. to your delight, you received all that and more. far, FAR more than you were expecting. you catch your first glimpse out of the corner of your eye, just a subtle whisp of something like stardust. the clicks are next, faint, echoing croons and hums following you, and for a dreadful few minutes you think your suit must be malfunctioning somehow, a quick death sentence. but everything looks fine- perfect, actually- and you find the answer when you finally look up and behind you, a confused scrunch between your brows
what you can only describe as a galactical beast hovers before you, and your jaw drops. tall, floating off the ground, adorned in glittering lights and stars with ethereal wings and twin horns spiraling towards the heavens. it mimics you, tilting its head and letting out a soft cooing sound. that explains the noises you were hearing, at least. the creature reaches for you slowly, and its claws are as cold as ice even through the heavy material. but it seems to delight in mere touch, moving behind you, then to the side, the other one. at the end the peculiar, terrifying, beautiful monster bumps its head against your helmet, and you want nothing more than to sink into its cradling embrace and remain there forever. alas, you only have a fraction of eternity, but it's enough to receive gentle purrs and nuzzles and stray bits of stardust that feel like nothing and everything at once
for he calls himself Foul Legacy, and he wishes to visit you at nighttime

Overheated Möth needs reader with a Cryo Vision
in lieu of air conditioning, a Cryo Vision works just fine!!
Foul Legacy is constantly fascinated by you, by the snowflakes and ice crystals, the seamless elegance in how you fight and use your elemental abilities. you remind him of home, in a way. not home as a frozen tundra- home like a village buried under snow, the lights still glowing in each house and waiting to welcome a visitor. you indulge him endlessly, freezing the surface of water so he can watch the fractals spread from your fingertips in delight, or brushing tiny bits of snow and ice against his face just so he can happily bat at them with his claws, an enormous smile on his masked face. you turn winter, dead and silent, into something beautiful for him
in the summer, however, it's another story entirely. you tend to run a bit cooler than an average person, so Legacy is constantly snuggling and pressing against you, trying to leech some of the soothing chill. he whines and whimpers until you make it snow, and rather than frolicking around he simply sighs in relief and flops over for a much-needed nap. Legacy purrs even louder if you lay next to him, surrounded by blissful cold. it won't last forever, but it's a lovely moment of respite from the heat that makes him melt so miserably. now you just need to figure out how to get him off when he's draped over your back and snoozing...

imagining foul legacy just koala hugging the chunk of ice until it melts and then there's just legacy moth sad because the ice is gone and it's hot again
at this point he's just half considering going back to Snezhnaya and carrying you with him teehee
Foul Legacy looks at you SO pitifully once the ice is gone, whining and scrabbling his claws around in the remaining water and pleading for more. unfortunately you're fresh out- ice takes quite a while to import from Dragonspine, and happens to be rather expensive as well. Legacy's wings droop as he splays out on the hardwood floor again, attempting to leech as much chill from it as possible. such suffering he must endure in the season of sunshine and late-night dusk! such agony! such woe! such- you ruffle his hair gently with a small grin, and Legacy can't help but melt and purr despite how warm it is, inside and out. he knows you'll get more ice, he just has to be patient
he huffs and pouts. Abyssal monsters aren't very good at "patient"
it's even WORSE when it's the evening and he wants nothing more than to snuggle up against you as usual, but it's too hot for either of you to be comfortable. Foul Legacy flops onto the mattress, blankets and quilts pushed aside and sticks his tongue out to sulk. he's so tempted to clamber onto your lap like he normally does, tugging on your sleeve with a pathetic whine. you catch his hand in your own and kiss his armored knuckles before settling a few damp towels over his chest and arms, earning a sigh of relief and an Abyssal monster who can finally catch a quick nap in the heat
the towels will definitely be tossed on the floor come morning, but it's a small price to pay to see Legacy happy

Foul Legacy only survives summertime because you kindly bring him chunks of ice to munch on. he likes sunlight, but not this much sunlight and certainly not THIS WARM. he's from the Abyss, and Childe is from Snezhnaya, for Archon's sake! neither of them fares well in hot weather!! luckily he has you, an absolute angel, and you fetch some blocks of ice imported right from Dragonspine while also trying very hard to not laugh until you can't breathe because your strong, intimidating Abyssal moth is currently sprawled on the hardwood floor looking a little woozy from the heat.
he perks up when you slide the ice over to him, snapping off a bite with his teeth and happily crunching down, savoring the cold, brittle texture. of course you get some as well, a smaller piece to carefully chew on so your teeth don't chatter or freeze. Legacy purrs contentedly, licking his fangs and soaking up the coolness of the floor even more- only now can he finally sleep peacefully, at least for a few hours until sundown when he'll inevitably nudge and plead for you to bring him outside at dusk, catching fireflies between his claws.

Rolling around on the floor because I got covid again, this is so 2020 of me 💔💔💔 I need moth bc my blanket isn't heavy enough. I'm feverish, so maybe I might just not make sense... BUT I just need Legacy and Ajax collaborative effort to bring life back because I feel like Ajax has the most soothing, cozy, nurturing ass family recipes that feel like a kiss on the forehead when he makes them for you AND Legacy is a huge warm, purring blanket literally first aid kid for any sickness you have. Clawing at the walls of my enclosure, rolling around and going crazy rn I love them sm. I hope everyone else that's sick gets well soon. I forgot how privileged I was when I was able to breathe from my nose 💔 Ty Wifi ilysm hope this finds you happy and healthy 🫶
AGH NOT AGAIN,,, PLEASE FEEL BETTER SOON ANON *puts a cat-sized Legacy on your lap*
Ajax's specialty dish is literally a type of soup- very violent and spicy looking soup, but still soup! he has an entire booklet of recipes, some from his father and mother and some that he made himself, for when his loved ones are sick and ailing. the moment you mention that you're not feeling well, he scoops you up and tucks you right into bed, or the couch if you want to be close, and sets to work making a delicious, comforting soup for you. here's hoping you like seafood, all of his best dishes have some type of fish in them. where he managed to get his hands on an octopus, you'll never know. there's several minutes of sizzling, boiling, cheerful humming of an old Snezhnayan tune. he'll teach it to you one day, when you're not languishing beneath several blankets and suffering from both a migraine and a cough at the same time
you're asleep when he brings it to you, and Ajax's expression softens to pure tenderness. he sets a gentle hand on your cheek, murmuring until you stir and helping you sit up. Ajax encourages you to eat, smiling with each mouthful, and the broth fills your veins with fragrant, spiced warmth. even if you can only eat half of the bowl, Ajax is proud of you, taking it gingerly from your hands and setting it aside with soft light in his eyes. there's a crackle of violet lightning, although it's more like a sizzle and a pop, as Foul Legacy appears. and he settles on top of you with a heavy purr, careful not to crush you in any way. he's the comfiest, warmest, most wonderful weighted blanket that you could ever ask for, adjusting so he can stare directly at you with unabashed adoration. even in the haze of your sickness, you can still hear, still feel his rumbling purrs and croons. he cradles you gently, caressing your temples and the back of your head with his claws to ease the pain and slowly, sweetly, guide you back to sleep for now

okay but we all agree that Childe simply must appear in Natlan at some point, right? not even from a lore standpoint, just because he has a reputation of being Mr. Teyvat and you know that man never backs down from a challenge.
i imagine you leave home for a little bit to help with Natlan's rebuilding as many of the nations are doing, and Childe convinces Foul Legacy to also just HAPPEN to be in Natlan at the same time. his Abyssal half doesn't want to at first, since the house is cozy and Natlan is notorious for being very, very warm, but the moment Childe mentions your name Legacy perks up and agrees, and a few days later you're promptly tackled by a jubilant monster and sent stumbling right into a hot spring.
needless to say, the civilians around you are VERY concerned until you sheepishly reassure them that this is one of the, ah, nicer Abyssal beasts. not that they really doubted your words, seeing how eagerly Legacy snuggled into your lap and nibbled your fingers.

Reader going out to pick sunsettias but needs help because their too short, so legacy lifts them in a simba hold.
this put the absolute best imagery into my mind, thank you anon
in the summer and autumn, when the flowers of spring have receded and leaves are splashed with bright colors, you go fruit picking. there are some things your little garden simply can't support, mostly the trees that would take up far too much sun and rain. you wait all year for the wild fruit to be ready- when you can see the sun shining orange and red and gold through the leaves, it's time- and the soonest day off, you drag Foul Legacy outside. or, rather, he drags you, elated at being allowed to run around outside and spend the day with you at the same time. while he romps around in the dry grass and wheat, you do your best to scale every apple and sunsettia tree you can find, balancing on the branches and gripping the bark tightly with your nails
Legacy tilts his head, glancing over at you before darting to your side, holding out his claws in case you slip and fall- which you do. landing squarely into Foul Legacy's arms with a soft thump, still clutching the sunsettia you plucked from between the leaves. he chitters disapprovingly, shaking his head, but you simply laugh and gesture to the remaining fruit in the tree. Legacy's gaze looks between you and the sunsettias, tongue licking over his sharp teeth before he carefully hoists you in his arms, holding you high above the ground and in the perfect spot to snag the last few. they tumble neatly into your basket, the last one swiftly split between you and your Abyssal monster as he sits on the ground, pulling you into his lap and eagerly nudging your hands
time for a snack break

I hope our precious moth is keeping your warm and cozy this holiday :3
he will keep ALL of us so toasty and comfy, although the holidays are over it's still chilly!!
Liyue isn't quite as icy as Snezhnaya- at least, it USUALLY isn't. but this winter season has been particularly cold, the roads coated in frost and freezing rain falling day after day. businesses had to close, temporarily, as people slipped and fell in the streets, the lucky ones who made it to work unscathed almost always receiving bruises on the way home. you had to prune your garden early, hastily snipping off any errant buds and fruit you can find. small as they may be, it's better than allowing them to wither in the bone chilling weather. it's almost jarring, seeing the icy landscape and harbor outside and then stepping into your little house, filled with flowers and fresh produce and embers warming in the fireplace, Foul Legacy curled up comfortably on the carpet. he perks up when he sees you, wiggling his wings and letting out a cheerful chirp, an invitation for you to join him
you smile, kneeling on the floor, and Legacy immediately moves to snuggle around you, plopping his head squarely in your lap. he glances up at you and trills, nuzzling against your hand until you relent and run your fingers through his thick, coppery hair. he rumbles and purrs and coos, wiggling and shifting so you can scritch behind his twin horns, his favorite spot of all. Foul Legacy is warm, almost more than the flickering flames before you, perfectly positioned around your body as if he was protecting you from all harm. slowly you slide down so your head is next to his, legs stretched over the carpet. he's beautiful like this, crystalline eye closed blissfully, sprawled out like an oversized cat. Legacy cracks his eye open, purring at the mere sight of you, and leans in to playfully lick your cheek, just to make you laugh
outside is cold, but your house has never been warmer

Foul Legacy with a partner who also has wings
They'd compare wing sizes and show how his are bigger by wrapping them up like a lil burrito ♡
-•^• anon
ohhh my goodness maybe you have feathers while his are more like a moth!!
you've always kept your wings hidden for years, not wanting to draw attention to yourself. they made people stare and gape, the kinder ones call you an Adeptus; the cruel ones pull out your feathers and jeer. you don't know why- they're not valuable at all, not made of gold or pearls. they're just ordinary feathers, as common as the finches that constantly hang around the harbor, and small enough to be tucked away beneath your shirt or coat. so that's where they stay, when you're out and about, bound securely within your clothes. only when you're positive that you can trust him do you show Foul Legacy your wings, flapping them a few times in an attempt to neaten them up. his crystalline eye widens, strangled chirps and trills of excited delight slipping from his fanged maw as he darts closer to examine them at all angles
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Legacy shivers his wings to their full span, allowing you to trace your fingers over the constellations and speckles of stars in awe. they flutter once, twice, before wrapping over you like a gauzy blanket, your back securely against Foul Legacy's armored chest. with a tap to your shoulder his claws begin gently preening your feathers, the poor appendages a bit bedraggled and neglected during your busy daily life. his touch is delicate, gingerly fixing bent and curled feathers and dislodging old ones to bring forth new down. he bites back a satisfied croon as your shoulders slowly relax, the soreness of your wings gradually eased with his careful massaging. your eyes open when his touch lessens, gratefully brushing the tip of your wing against his
Legacy purrs, and waits a moment before grazing you back with his own shimmering limb

Childe knows when you're not feeling well. he's picked up on your habits, your silence- and if he happens to miss it by mistake, Foul Legacy sense it immediately.
Childe taps your shoulder, gently, then settles his whole hand when you give him permission to touch you. he tilts your chin carefully, looking at you, at your exhausted, deadened expression. Foul Legacy whimpers, and Childe frowns as he pulls you into a sweet hug.
Childe takes the day off, and you don't complain when he quietly asks if you'd like him to send in a letter of absence for you. he sits you down on the couch, thumbing gingerly over your cheek and holding the back of your head. tell him what's wrong. please. they're both listening to you, always.
Childe who wipes your tears away when you cry, murmuring soothingly into your ears. he's had to console his younger siblings before, but this is different. this doesn't come from nightmares or make-believe creatures that lurk in the dark. you've been caging in your emotions too long, letting them fester and rot.
Childe kisses your forehead, his copper hair brushing against your skin. one hand cupping your cheek is his own- the other is Foul Legacy's, wanting to console you even while he's not out and about. and they both hold you close, silently allowing you to cry as much as you need, because they want you to know that they love you.
even if the entire world hates you, Childe and Foul Legacy love you. and that will never change.

Wifiiiiii the rhythm event has Legacy's theme AAAAAAAAA-
Anyway! Hydraulic press Legacy is a yesyes. But I also raise you: Legacy utilizing a wide range of chirps and growls to try to 'sing' to us <3
~ The anon who wanted Kaveh but didn't want Baizhu or Ganyu I am horrible at rhythm games but I want my primos >:)
OH MY MOON AND STARS IT DOES???? WELL NOW I SIMPLY MUST PLAY IT ANYTHING FOR FOUL LEGACY
Foul Legacy's kind is adept at singing, although perhaps not the type humans are used to. he communicates in low whalesongs, haunting melodies unheard to most other species of the Abyss, because they're only for telling those you love how much you adore them. but he also loves listening to you sing the way mortals do, forming words and stories. his songs are more about conveying feelings, but you can do that and so much more with just a few notes, eyes closed and a peaceful smile on your face. he chitters in awe, tilting his head so far that he nearly flops over onto the ground in his attempt to watch you from every angle. you see his wings flutter up and down, matching the rise and fall of your voice as you sing, and can't help but pause to chuckle kindly behind a hand
he starts trying to mimic you, quietly, not wanting to disturb your own songs. but oh, how he wishes he could sing like that to you! all whimsical and lovely and free. so he practices when you're at work, using his memory and the birds outside as a reference. it's a bit gravelly, more growling than your sweet tunes, yet he's proud all the same, rumbling happily and rolling over in the sunlight. when you're half asleep, cradled in his lap before the fire, his claws tracing the outlines of your face, he sings to you. soothing and gentle and quiet. at first it's your music, bringing a soft smile to your face. then his own as you fall asleep, crooning and trilling into your ear until you're comfortably limp in his arms, and Legacy switches to a strong, constant purr
you wake him with a hum the next morning, and the wonderful cycle repeats once more

You need fluff?
Multiple tiny Legacies that do those tiny kitten hisses that sound like they’re spitting at you. When they get scared their entire body poofs up cuz they have the orange and the purple fluff.
OH THIS IS A GOOD ONE THIS IS SOOOO CUTE THANK YOU ANON
you are always surrounded by no less than four tiny Legacies, clamoring for attention around your feet- watch where you step! they jump onto the countertops, climbing up your legs, scratching the fabric of your pants with their tiny claws as they cheep and trill. they're hand-sized, or not quite so, being mostly soft fur and fluff, and sit so perfectly in your palm, staring up at you with glittering azure eyes. they all want your affection right this moment, all at once. more often than not you have to walk around the house with an armful of puffball Legacies, each peeping and nudging you and begging for headpats. you try depositing them in their nest of soft blankets and pillows, only for them to scramble right back out and follow at your heels
not all of them are always swarming you, though. you can find miniature Legacies all over the house, curled up on cushions or hidden in random object, flowerpots and cookware. how in the world they manage to sneak into your cabinets, you'll never know, but you've gotten over the surprise of seeing a little Abyssal monster happily staring up at you from a bowl or plate. if they fit, they sit, you've discovered, and that apparently includes piling themselves into your lap until you physically can't hold any more of them, all wiggling in your arms and squeaking and bumping their little heads against you until they eventually all fall asleep with tiny whistling snores
you're not getting up for several hours, at least

This thought is brought to you by me frequently (accidentally) jump-scaring my friends & family:
What if we walked silently? Like, made next to no noise when moving and whatnot. Could we possibly scare Lgeacy-?
~ The anon who wanted Kaveh but didn't want Baizhu or Ganyu I hope you feel better by the time you see this <3
okay but i relate to this so heavily, the number of friends i've startled by manifesting behind them is too many to count!!
unless he's purposefully stalking prey, Foul Legacy makes sound wherever he goes. boots marching against the ground, wings fluttering curiously, claws idly scratching together- noise follows him, especially when you're nearby, for that's when he begins to trill and purr, nuzzling against you for affection. maybe Childe is a bit quieter, but he rarely bothers to be, preferring to announce his presence with a laugh and a light tap to your shoulder, asking permission to hug and squeeze you tightly. he TRIES to sneak up on you- keyword is tries. often enough you can hear tiny chirps and chitters as Legacy sidles up behind you, gasping in mock surprise when he scoops you up and buries his face into your hair with a sweet, adoring croon
you, on the other hand- Archons, where does he even START with you? you seem to have a habit of accidentally coming up behind him without him noticing. sometimes you'll just be watching him fondly, and Legacy turns and almost jumps out of his skin with a startled yelp, fur and hair fluffing up and wings flaring outwards. you laugh apologetically, raising your hands to show you're not any type of threat. Foul Legacy's claws lower as he huffs, turning away from you and sulking, but he can't resist when your hands gently caress his mask-like face, thumbing over the crimson ridges and valleys. Legacy softens, rumbling quietly and leaning into your palms, giving your fingers an absentminded lick and opening his crystalline eye just a tad to watch your lovely smile
...he really should bell you like a cat, eventually
