CINDERELLA AU | ALBEDO KREIDEPRINZ X READER Part One, Part Two, Part Three, tba Once Upon A Vision Masterlist

Author's note: For the past three months, I've been busy but I've also been cooking up some new stories and ideas for this series~ While I've also been writing this story, I was also writing a few to release soon. I hope to get them released soon as I also finish this first fairytale!

(By the way, I didn't plan for this to be released on April fools lolol, don't worry, no prank or joke from me lmaoo)

After what felt like a while, you cleared your throat as you dusted your outfit. “Uh, I apologize, sir.”

Albedo snapped out of his gaze. “Don’t be, you didn’t disturb me at all.” He then looked at the bluebird, chirping at his easel. He noticed you holding a similar one, except this bird had a green ribbon on his head rather than a pink one. He asked you, curiously. “Is this bird yours?”

You chuckled, shaking your head. “No. I just happen to know these two birds.”

He raises an eyebrow but gets intrigued even more when the pink ribbon bow bird on his easel chirps as it flaps back to you and sets itself onto your shoulder.

“How so? Are they your friends?”

You shrugged, patting one of the bluebirds. “Sort of… I’ve seen them many times ever since I was a kid.”

“Do they have names?” He asked.

“...No, haven’t bothered to name them…” You smiled. “...And I’m terrible with names, anyway.”

On the subject of names, you look down and up at the stranger. You had lived in this village for most of your life and never had once seen or heard about him. “...Are you… a noble? Your outfit is more elegant than most of the townspeople.”

Albedo looked up, surprised and seeing that you were referring to his appearance. He cleared his throat. “Oh no, I’m just… a palace apprentice.” He knew that telling someone he just met his true identity might lead to endless bad outcomes.

You raise an eyebrow, doubting his statement because of his tone. But you decided not to push it further. “...I see.”

You glance over, noticing his easel. You walk near him, turning to his canvas. You gasped, amazed at what was painted on it.

It was a beautiful painting of the strawberry and cherry tree, there was a lot of wonderful coloring and details to it. Not only that, but the background was also a part of the village that was just as detailed and colored well as the tree.

You stare at it in awe, while Albedo looks amused by your expression. “...Is something wrong?”

You turn to him in shock. “...This… painting… you did this?”

“Indeed I did,” Albedo said, smiling. “Although, I’m still not finished yet…”

You smiled softly. “It's… beautiful.”

“...Thank you.”

“Do you paint often? Perhaps a court painter?” You asked him, curiously.

He responded. “Not a court painter, just a normal apprentice. But I simply see painting as a personal experiment.” Sensing your confused expression, he quickly spoke up. “However, I do still enjoy painting different aspects and environments and whatever interests me.”

You look at the strawberry and cherry trees. “But what’s so special about this particular tree?” You noticed that the birds flew over to the tree this time again, but you didn’t mind.

“Ah, well, I need a clear reference for such. I wasn’t planning on making the tree the actual subject, I simply used it to add more life to this piece. I decided that I would replicate the tree and the village as the background and add something else entirely on whatever interested me as the main subject.” Albedo said. “...So, basically, the tree and the village are just a background, and you’ll add something interesting as the main part of your piece?” You clarified.

He nodded. “Yes, that’s what I had in mind.”

“So, who will be your main subject?”

He hummed. “...Well, perhaps your birds can be.”

“...They aren’t mine.” “But, they are your friends. I’m surprised you aren’t their owner.”

You shrugged. Back then, you kind of did want to take them in when you saw them often but because of your strict household circumstances, you couldn’t. “I’m just not…”

It was realizing that you immediately cursed yourself. You had to go back home from your errand. “Uh, well, I have to go now… But, it was a pleasure meeting you…”

“...You can call me Calx.”

You gave him back the same look. “...Calx, I’m [Name]. It was nice to meet you. I hope to see you soon. Bye” You began walking off, waving to him

Albedo waved back with a soft smile.

...

The day went by fast, and now the day turned into night as quickly as ever. The dark outside always felt eerie and spooky to everyone, but when the village lights up the lamp posts and the fairy lights, all worries went away. And from the window of your home, it was a nice sight as the village continued on their days like the night was nothing.

Currently, that helped you forget a bit that you lived with your stepfamily. But then you heard Lady Avis yelling from the other room. “[Name]! Where is dinner!?”

You flinched immediately as you rapidly continued to cook the meals. “...In a sec, ma’am!” You were irritated when you heard animal snickers and laughter from your stepsisters, but you concentrated on doing your duty.

And just like you said, after a short while, you were now serving Barbatos Ratatouille to them, pouring it into their perspective bowls before putting their glasses of Apple Cider.

“This took about an hour? It would’ve been better if you cooked it in under thirty minutes, dearie. Be faster next time, and it should be cooked perfectly.” Your stepmother spat at you as she took a sip of her drink.

You nodded. “...Yes, madam.”

You glance at your stepsisters, thinking they would enjoy it since they were the ones who requested this dish before your expression turns to shock immediately. Leni had only taken the first bite of the dish, already throwing up the portion on the table, making a complete mess. Gisela also sipped on her beverage, only to spit it onto the floor, ruining the clean ground you had cleaned up earlier.

“Ugh! This stew is too hot! My mouth is burning!” Leni cried, taking the water jug and gulping it down.

“Eww, why does this Apple Cider taste like dirt!” Gisela said, glaring at you as she dared to throw her drink to the ground. The glass broke completely and the liquid flowed on the floor.

“Ah, guys, wait! Y-You’re making a mess-!” You ended up trying to say something that made even more of a mess.

Gisela was even more mad as she yelled at you. “Making a mess!? You dared to serve us this!?”

“That’s right, brat! The audacity you had to burn my tongue!!” Leni said, adding her loud voice.

“...I didn’t mean to! I-”

“And now you're talking back to us!? Must you know that we-”

“...Girls, enough.”

Lady Avis stood up, glaring at her granddaughters, giving them a look of disapproval which both of them immediately shut up. But when she gave you her very own glare, it made you flinch since it was a terrifying look.

“...[Name] [Last Name].” The woman walked up to you. “...Bring Gisela a new glass of Apple Cider and then clean up the mess you caused.”

Your eyes widen in disbelief. “What? The mess I caused? They were the ones who-”

“...And now you blame my daughters? Just because you are my husband's daughter, you should be grateful I’m not giving you a harsher punishment for not only coming home late but also ruining your sisters’ dinner.” She spoke with a stern tone.

You were, of course, angry but you were also overall hurt. “But, I-”

“That’s enough!” Lady Avis slammed the table, irritation was evident in her expression. “I do not want to hear another word from your pathetic mouth. This is why your father left. He probably never wanted to go on that business trip, he just wanted to get away from you.” She scoffed, playing with her nails

You stayed silent, feeling shame from what she said and anger, but you held yourself back from making another comeback to her.

“...Now get Gisela a new drink and clean up this disaster.”

“...Yes, madam.”

Immediately, you went to the kitchen, trying your best not to show your own overwhelmed feelings that you were feeling at the moment.

You open the fridge to pull out the bottle of beverage and get a new glass from the cabinets.

As you poured the drink into it, you didn’t realize a tear slipping down your face.

You hated yelling and shouting.

...

Back in the castle, Albedo was still painting his canvas in his study room. He now had a clear image of what he wanted to paint before, and now that he found a perfect main subject, it was very easy for him to draw the birds.

As he was busy doing this, Albedo didn’t notice those two same birds sitting by his window, watching him curiously.

One of the birds chirped loudly, looking up at the sky causing the other bird to also look up.

Their chirp caught Albedo’s attention. He was surprised to see them again, he knew it was your birds since they both had the ribbon bows wrapped around their heads, green and pink.

The prince went over, opening the window. “...You two… how did you manage to find me?”

Although the birds seemed happy to see that he noticed them, they were more focused on the sky.

Albedo bent over a bit to see what caught their attention only to gasp at what was flowing from above that seemed to be falling into his palace as he saw some of them already sticking onto his castle’s towers, roofs, and walls. Even his window was already covered with it.

He muttered, intrigued. “...Snow?”

…

Somewhere far away, someone stood below a tree and watched as the snow fell onto the kingdom and its village. They smirked before swiftly disappearing into the cold forest’s mist, never to be seen again by anyone.

...

The next day had quickly come by. But a new day is another day of daily chores. Once again, sit up and put your [favorite plushie] on the side of your pillow.

Today, you were feeling more tired and sluggish than normal. You knew it was what happened yesterday, but it wasn’t like it was the first time something like that happened anyway.

You stretched your arms whilst yawning and you looked out the window, expecting to see the birds once again outside your window to greet you.

But instead, you gasped as you immediately went over to see a view full of the current season. You opened your window, already feeling the cold breeze as you put your hand out for the little flakes to fall on your hands.

It is snowing.

It must have recently been snowing as yesterday was sunny and warm and you didn’t see snow forming last night before you slept. However, it seems as if the whole kingdom is already covered in snow. You see the village up ahead, their houses' roofs already filled with snow, including the fences and lamp posts.

And there you see families running around and playing in the snow and the markets were still busy, despite the cold weather.

The last time you ever saw Hexenmpire snow was so long ago, probably when you were at the age of six. All of the other seasons of summer, fall, and spring do occur every time in the land, and today should be the season of spring so why is winter occurring now?

Although strange, you were still fascinated by it. You had loved snow when you first saw it as a child. You remembered that you and your parents had created a snowman family to represent yourselves. You even remember that you also tried burying your father with snow when he was still sleepy in the morning, but you don’t know where the pictures your mother took before are now.

Suddenly, you yelped startled when your door burst open. You turn in shock to see Leni, entering your room. “[Name]! Where are my coats and boots!? I need them to go to the snow!” Leni said.

You raise an eyebrow. “What? They weren’t in your closet?”

“No! Now, chop chop and find it for me! And if it’s dirty, you better wash it!” She shouted at you before leaving your room.

You groaned since you just woke up. You sighed, got up, and went out of your room.

But you stopped, glancing over to find it just hanging loose in a clothing rack in the corner. You yelled, agitated.

“Leni! They were just outside! It was right here! How in the world did you miss it?!”

...

Back in the castle of Hexenmpire, the little red princess ran up to her huge royal window, followed by her mother and brother. Klee beamed, putting her hands in the window as she leaned further to admire it. “It’s snowing!”

“Why, truly rare and magnificent, indeed!” Alice smiled, hugging her daughter from behind. “Oh, how exciting for all of the fun things we can do!”

Albedo walked up to both of them, staring out of the window curiously. “It seems interesting that snow suddenly happens at this time.”

“It is. But, it’s, oh, so wonderful!” Alice said. “I never got to see and enjoy snow since Hexenmpire rarely snows!”

“Mom, can we please go outside?” Klee begged.

Her mother chuckled, ruffling her hair. “Why, of course, dear!” Alice then turned to Albedo. “But I think your older brother should accompany you. Would you be so kind to do so?”

“Not a bother at all, Alice. I’m sure Klee and I will have a fun time with the snow.” Albedo smiled.

She smiled. “Oh, I will also join you both in a while! Klee, let’s go and get you dressed in your warm clothes.”

Klee nodded as she and Alice left the room, the little girl already excited to experience and feel the snow.

As the two girls left, Albedo looked out of the window with his remaining curious expression. Seeing the snow all around the kingdom, he was questioning how snow suddenly came after all these years. He could only remember that during his time as a prince, there was only one rare time when he was young that it snowed. He remembered the sense of familiarity when his younger self felt the snow’s cold sensation. He wondered if he would feel that once again when he went outside.

Just then, he notices the same two birds with their pink and green ribbons outside of his window again. He was already startled that those two birds managed to find him in the castle last night. Albedo walked up, opening it slightly as he raised an eyebrow. “You two, why are you here again…?”

The birds just chirped in response, the one with the green bow was seemingly comfortable with Albedo as it flew and sat comfortably on the prince’s shoulder while the bird with the pink bow just nuzzled its face in Albedo’s covered hands.

“You two are particularly strange and interesting, I wonder if they are concerned about your guys’ wellbeing,” Albedo said, referring to you. “It’s still weird to not name you both…”

The two creatures just looked up at him innocently, chirping and being incredibly comfortable and cute near him which made him let out a small smile.

Looking back out at the outside being completely snowy through his window, he then noticed a similar figure. He raises an eyebrow, seeing the person he was just referring to.

...

After doing your usual routine and helping your stepfamily put on their warm clothes during the snow, you wear your outfit and step out of the cottage. You skipped over to an open field just between the village and the hill where your cottage was.

Your stepmother and your stepsisters had planned yesterday and decided to go somewhere out of the village for the day. Luckily, this was a day off for you, even though they expected you to still do your daily chores. You planned to do them later but since it’s snowing, why not just have some fun for now?

After feeling like you were far enough you immediately began to make a small snowball for yourself. Despite wearing your mittens, the feeling of snow was amazing. There was so much you could do with it and seeing how the kingdom is covered with it all, no snow would end even if you would use a lot.

You then used your snowball and rolled it up to the whole ground of snow, making its size increase slowly but surely. When it was big enough, you gathered more snow to create another snowball that was similar in size. You put one on top of the other and smoothen bits here and there. It reminded you so much of how you and your family did with your guys’ snowmen.

Now for the fun part, you probably need to go back to your home, go to a nearby stall, or just go to the forest to get materials and decorations you want to add to your snowman. Even though you don’t know if you have anything of the sort, you go back to your house and leave the unfinished snowman there. And you hoped no kids would ruin it or see the snow of the snowballs on the ground when you returned.

But after a while, when you came back with a scarf, carrot, and all, you didn’t expect to find that gorgeous noble pale-blonde stranger in his warm outfit in front of your snowman, seemingly giving its legs to its torso that looked like the snowman sitting down. It was even more strange to see the birds also placing a pair of red buttons on the snowman’s torso.

You walked up, giving them an amused expression. “Calx?”

Albedo turned to you, smiling back at you. He wasn’t at all surprised but rather was expecting you. “Hey, [Name].”

“I didn’t expect to see you again.” You said. “Don’t you have any duties to attend to? I don’t know what kind of work an apprentice does, but I would assume they would be busy?”

“Well, that’s normal to assume.” He replied. “But, in Hexenmpire, you’d be surprised just how much free time the palace apprentices do have.”

“Really?” You asked as he nodded in response. But then you said. “Wait, anyways, what are you doing? That’s my snowman.”

Albedo smiled. “Oh, I know. I just saw you across when I was passing by town. When you left, we thought we’d help you with it.”

“I like the snowman’s legs and buttons.” You smiled as the bluebirds chirped from on top of the snowman’s head. You held out your hands for one of them and the green bow one flew over to your hand, already nuzzling to your warm mittens.

“So, what decorations you got?” He asked.

“Uhhh, I only just got another pair of mittens, a red hat, and these…” You trailed off, pulling out what seemed like two pairs of eyes that looked like frozen sunnyside eggs. “I don’t know what these are and I don’t know how I found these, I just did…”

Chuckling, he said. “That’s pretty cute. I got some sticks, a scarf, and some pebbles.”

“And your birds over here just got… a weird-looking apple.” You look in confusion, seeing a red ball in the pink bow’s beak.

You grab it to feel it. “Oh, it is an apple… Where did they find this?”

“I don’t know.” He shrugged. “But, come on, the birds already seem eager to put this snowman together.” He said, referring to the pink bow bird attempting to put the red apple on its face and the green bow bird poking the top snowball.

“Alright, alright,” You smiled and nodded, patting them as you first placed the red hat on the head. You watch as Albedo first places the sticks on the side of the arms. Immediately, you put the mittens on it. Then Albedo put the scarf around the snowman’s neck.

You then noticed two of the bluebirds getting your egg eyes before positioning it and placing it on the snowman’s face. You and Albedo laughed, seeing how funny it was, you didn’t expect the egg eyes would look good on it.

After putting the red apple for the nose, you, him, and the birds worked on putting the pebbles for the smile. As you both worked on it, the prince spoke beside you. “Have you never considered naming them?”

“The bluebirds?” You looked at them above. “I mean one time when I noticed they’ve been sticking around me for a while. But, like I said, I’m just that bad with names.”

“What did you consider naming them?”

“The pink one Peony, and the green one Basil.” You shrugged. “It’s pretty basic, I know. But I’ve only just considered those because of their colored bows.”

Albedo raised an eyebrow. “Those names don’t sound that bad. They are pretty decent names.”

“Really?” You jumped when the said bluebirds were chirping loudly, flying up and down excitedly. That was a reminder of when you suggested the names to them when you were young, they did the same reaction, jumping up and down with their wings but you dismissed it as a way of telling you that they didn’t like those names.

Now that you are older, you feel like it was the opposite of what you taught. Albedo chuckled, surprised. “Seems like they also love those names.”

You sighed. “Alright, alright… Peony and Basil, it is. Seems good?” You said, patting each of their feathery heads. The bluebirds jumped up and down, seemingly extremely happy.

And once done, you both stepped backward to view the snowman finished. “It looks good.” He smiled. “It does look great!” You beamed. “My favorite is the egg eyes.” The bluebirds, now Peony and Basil, flew around the full snowman before chirping happily, seeing they also liked how the snowman looked.

“Thanks for the help, Calx.” You smile and he gives you one back. “No problem, [Name].”

“So… now what?” Albedo asked and you just shrugged at him.

Basil chirped, getting your attention. It used its beak to point at the snowman’s head, having an amount of snow in its mouth, and showed it to you. You then get the message.

You glance around before giving Albedo a smirk that makes him raise an eyebrow, confused at your expression. Suddenly, you scooped up snow to make a small snowball and threw it at his coat, making him jump in surprise.

He laughed amused before rolling himself a snowball also making you laugh, preparing yourself and quickly dodging it when he aimed it at your head.

As you tried to scoop up some more snow, Albedo went faster than you and threw it directly at your face making you yelp, and fall over. You sat up, rubbing your face to give him a playful glare which he backed away and laughed out loud when he felt your snowball collide with his back.

Soon enough, you two were just in the field, playfully continuing your guys’ snowball fight, throwing each other snowballs making you both just have a good time and laugh. During the midst of it, Peony and Basil also joined as they scooped their snow using their beaks to join.

You can’t remember the last time you’ve been this happy.

After a while, you two collapsed into the snow, exhausted but smiled next to each other as you both lay there for a bit.

“...Hey, Calx?”

“Yes?”

“I had a fun time.” You leaned to your side, giving him a grateful smile.

He looked at you to you gave the same soft expression. “So did I.”

You slightly sat up. “Do you get out of the palace that often, especially in your free time?”

“Sometimes whenever I feel like it,” Albedo responded, sitting up.

“...After today, when can I expect to see you again?” You smiled.

He smiled back. “Depends on my duties, but I’m sure we can still see each other tomorrow.”

“...What’s it like being a palace apprentice?” You suddenly said.

Albedo thought for a while before responding. “It’s not that bad. You just have to lift and dedicate yourself to your given duties. But we also have plenty of free time to relax and take breaks whenever we need.”

“What about the people around you? Like your teacher? How are they?” You said

“Everyone just like me is kind and friendly, including my teacher. They are just like the queen, all good and generous people.” Albedo secretly is referring to the actual palace apprentices, he has known them for a while when he was young and just sees how well they all treat each other, despite either being their master or working under them.

You frowned. “That’s good…” You trailed off, just wondering about your own life back at home.

“Why are you asking, [Name]?”

“No reason.”

“Do… you want to be a palace apprentice someday?” He raised an eyebrow.

You shrugged, finding a way for you to at least escape from your stepfamily. “Maybe.”

Noticing your strange tone of voice, he smiled softly at you. “Hey, want to know something?”

You look at him curiously as he continues. “I’ll share something interesting. Although it will be announced soon, I think it will cheer you up.”

You look at him in confusion. “What are you talking about?”

He gestured to you with his finger, making you lean further near him as he went closer to your ear and whispered something in your ear.

...

Later at night, it was almost sundown and you see through the window that the sun was slowly rising down to the horizon. After your short time with Calx, you went back home and quickly did your daily chores and your stepfamily arrived back home after a while.

Your mind was still thinking about what he said before he left. It actually shifted your grim mood to an eager one.

As if on cue, while you were just in the living room, sweeping up the floors like usual, you heard the knocking on the front door.

You wondered if it's actually it. You walk up, slightly looking through the small round window of the door, seeing an unknown man with fancy clothes and holding a scroll.

You opened the door, muttering. "Hello?" Hearing the door open, you didn't need to look back to see your stepsisters popping their heads out to see who was at the door and your stepmother stepping out, curiously.

"Good evening. I am a messenger from Queen Alice herself," He spoke with a calm tone. "I am here to give out an invitation to every village household this invitation."

He put his hand out with the scroll and you stepped out of the way for Lady Avis to walk over and take it. She smiled sweetly. "Thank you so much, sir." The messenger nodded in acknowledgment before leaving as you closed the door.

You, Leni, and Gisela looked at her as Lady Avis opened and read the scroll.

She cleared her throat, smirking as she read out loud what was stated. "To all villagers and citizens of Hexenmpire, we will now be celebrating the kingdom's 290th birthday in a few days through a royal ball for all invited to attend. The Queen and her children are all hoping and expecting to see you all at the ball. From, Queen Alice."

As Lady Avis finished, she smiled, already imagining the luxuries the ball would obviously include. Immediately, Leni and Gisela squealed in excitement.

Meanwhile, you didn't show any reaction but you were just as excited as any person would be, because this royal ball happens once every eight years.

'Huh, Calx was right.' You thought.

...

authors note: very quick and minor, but would you guys like to include the fairygod mother in this particular story? even though she is a major point in cinderella, i just feel like the story would feel or flow the same way with or without but I'm still debating because including a fairygod mother or parent or whatever would kind of impact the story a bit, but i have two alternatives if ever there will be a fairygod parent or not. pls let me know if you want one or not and majority will win (i might do a poll later but we'll see!)

[Cinderella AU][Albedo x Reader]

PAST MEMORY 1 - A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER

A little child was giggling as they ran around in shapes around the gorgeous green and white field, touching the flowers with their hands outstretched to feel them as they ran around. The gentle wind breezes through the trees and grass, making them slightly dance for a moment before staying still in the light meadow.

The beautiful field consisted of yarrows, daisies, white poppies, and dandelions. Along with the sunlight being not too soft and not too bright, just a perfect amount of light makes this beautiful grassland with only the colors of white and light green that just makes it perfect. The said child plopped themselves onto the soft grass, looking up at the smooth, neutral sky. Luckily, the sun wasn’t up there to blind their own eyes.

“[Name]! Where are you?” The voice of a man shouted through the field, big footsteps coming through the grass.

The said child, [Name], sat up as they yelled back. “Here, father!”

The said father, a male adult figure entered the scene, his appearance consisting of similar traits to the child. [Name] grinned as they got up and ran to hug his legs the adult smiled as he kneeled to their height to give them a proper hug. (I really can’t describe the parents in this since everyone has their appearance so pls imagine how they want to look lol)

The two stayed like that before [Name]’s father, [Father Name], pulled away and gave them a small grin. “Now, little one, what are you doing in the field… without me?”

“Well, I was waiting for you but you took too long!” [Name] pouted.

[Father Name] raises an eyebrow with amusement. “Doesn’t excuse you from running away.”

“I wasn’t! I was extremely bored! I couldn’t wait!” They stuck their tongues out. “You are too slow~! Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne!” The child said through giggles before running around more on the fields at a high speed

“Hey, get back here, you little munchkin!” He laughed as tried to catch up with his child.

The father chases his kid, both of them running in circles and around the poppy white field. Their heavy running sways the grass to dance along with the flowers moving their petals all around.

This continued for a while before [Father Name] managed to grab hold of his kid, wrapping his arms around their waist, stopping them which made the two of them laugh wholeheartedly. They enjoyed this moment as they both lay down on the grass, still laughing as they both caught their breaths from running so much.

[Name] smiled as they looked up at the clouds again, spotting various shapes and animals on the shape of the clouds which made their eyes sparkle with excitement until their father’s voice shouted across the field.

“Come on, [Name]! Your mother wants to see you!” “Coming!”

[Name] got up as they dashed toward the male adult figure, who had similar features to them, who was standing and waiting for them. The father smiled as the little child grasped his hand. They both began to walk hand-in-hand back to where they came from.

[Name] yelped when they felt their father take hold of their tiny waist, picking their whole figure entirely, which made the kid laugh in surprise. The man put the child behind them in a piggyback carry, intending to carry them for the rest of the walk. They smiled as they looked back at the gorgeous field behind them, and the beautiful view slowly faded away from their vision when they started to be far away.

[Name] eyes brightened when two birds were flailing in the sky as they looked down at them with their wonder eyes as they persisted in flying past them. To mimic them, the child spread their arms behind their father’s back. The man notices this, letting out a small smile as he watches his beloved child having fun with nature.

...

A woman was coughing softly into the palm of her hand whilst leaning against her pillow. Despite having many covers and blankets on her, she still felt sick as her coughs echoed in the room that she was alone in the peaceful birch-wooden bedroom. [Mother Name]’s head was still aching as ever like the past few days, and her mood had also worsened.

But when she heard a familiar voice call out from the entrance of her home, her mood brightened slowly. “Honey, we’re home!”

She smiles weakly as she hears the sound of her two favorite people in the world. The sound of footsteps grew closer before the door burst open. [Name] smiled brightly as they quickly went over to their mother. “Mommy!” The child gently wraps their waist, but still gently tries to keep their distance away. She smiled, stroking her kid’s hair as she gave a kiss back to her husband.

“How are you feeling, dear?” [Father Name] said, smiling.

“Alright, just need more rest…” She responded.

“Here, mommy.” The child brightly smiled as they pulled out a small flower. A simple white poppy from the white flower field earlier.

Even though it was simple, the sight of her kid gifting a small flower was cute and absolutely melted her heart. [Mother Name] smiles as she takes the flower from their small hands and kisses their forehead. “Oh, sweetie, it’s wonderful. Thank you…”

[Name] frowned. “Mommy, I hope you get better soon. I miss playing with you and Dad in the fields.”

The woman’s smile dropped, she looked at her child with a sad expression. “Oh, sweetheart, I feel the same way. Don’t worry, I promise… I’ll be better soon. It just takes time.” [Father Name] nodded, before kneeling beside them with a smirk. “Besides, you still have your best dad in the world.”

“What Dad?”

The woman laughed as she watched her child and husband start to bicker like always.

...

Somewhere Far Away…

A small pale blonde-haired boy looked out of the fancy curved glass window, his bright teal eyes focused on the bright blue birds that were fluttering their tiny feathery wings around the exquisite tower wall nearby. The kid was fascinated by such creatures and the earth itself as he never got the chance to go out of the grand palace.

He watches in surprise as the tiny flying creatures go over near his window, sitting as they chirp on his window sill. He couldn’t touch them as the glass was locked and he didn't want to open the window either to scare them away. His very teal eyes kept locked on the small blue ones. The child noticed that their little wings had an accent of bright yellow in the end.

The coloring reminded him of something similar in his body. His tiny fingers lingered on the golden diamond marking on his neck.

He suddenly flinched, grabbing the window tightly as he turned around when the grand door behind him knocked loudly. His sudden movement in the window caused the little birds to flutter away.

“Your majesty. Queen Alice requests you in the dining room.” A soft voice said outside of the room.

The child expressed a neutral face. “Tell her I’ll be right there.” As soon as he said that, the footsteps then began to fade away.

The young boy looked outside one more time, seeing the bluebirds flying away before leaving the room himself.

...

PRESENT - A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER

The dark blue sky was turning lighter, the grim indigo slowly fading into a bright orange color of the sky as a glowing star came onto the horizon that would soon later turn the whole sky to morning. As it was a golden sight, a flock of birds exclaimed chirping as their wings flew across the air space.

The sunlight shines through many windows in the world that were open or uncovered. That amongst the glass panes was through the bedroom of a person, sleeping in their [Favorite Color] bed.

[Name] was sleeping peacefully in their bed, cuddling with their [Favorite Stuffed Toy]. Despite the white mattress, their blankets and sheets were a color of cozy and fluffy [Favorite Color] making the bed as a whole a lot more special to the sleeper.

Whatever was going on in their head, they smiled whilst still sleeping to show that they were having a good dream.

A few moments later, as the sky gradually turned to its blue hue, a pair of bluebirds flew over to their windowsill, the window just beside the bed, chirping loudly through the glass.

…

Your [Eye Color] fluttered open from hearing loud chirps heavily muffled by the glass that woke you from your good dream. Sitting up, you let out a series of yawns while rubbing your eyes to clear your vision.

You put your [Favorite Stuffed Toy] aside as you kneeled in front to open the window. The cold breeze filled your room, but you didn’t care and just simply put your blanket over your shoulders to cover yourself. You lay your hand out, and as one of the birds leaped into your palm the other bird stayed aside, chirping as it looked at both of you.

You pat its feathery and fluffy head, seeing the bird nuzzle to your warmth. For the longest period in your life, these birds that you once mimicked as a kid and that you thought would never see again have brought themselves regularly in your life. From that day when your mother was sick, the birds always go to your windowsill, chirping cutely through the glass pane. Besides your father, these birds have brightened your day many times, despite them being just small creatures.

You pull out a small bag of seeds. They were vegetable seeds that you’ve always kept in your room, in case you ran out of seeds in the shed to plant in the garden. You’ve released the seeds from the bag in your hands, realizing you only had the last of it. You hoped you didn’t run out of them when you checked the shed today.

You shrugged as you put the seeds in front of the two birds. They fluttered their wings happily as they bent down and took the seeds with their pointy beaks.

As they did so, you immediately got out of your sleepwear to put on your regular clothes for the day. You went over to your bedside table, pulling out the list that was put in here last night for you to do today. You sighed tiredly, seeing about numerous tasks that are around twenty-five or more.

You see that the birds had just finished eating their seeds and now flying out from the window. You went over to close it before leaving your room to start the day.

...

You rolled your eyes as you could hear the sounds of multiple footsteps coming downstairs along with giggling. A woman with two other young ladies stepped down with them trimming and playing with the hem of their outfits.

The older lady turned to you with a grin that displayed amusement, but you knew underneath was a sign of pure wickedness. “Why, good morning, [Name].” Your stepmother said. Her hands were curling a piece of her ginger hair

“Good morning, madam.” You nodded at her with a small smile. It seemed she bought it and didn’t consider it as fake as she poured herself a cup of tea.

Lady Avis, your stepmother. Despite her being your guardian, you don’t really consider her a mother figure. It didn’t have anything to do with the fact that she wasn’t actually related to you, but it’s all because she treats you horribly. You even thought it was because you weren’t related to her. by blood. After all, she certainly treats her real daughters better.

Your stepsisters: Leni and Gisela were just like her. They sometimes do ignore your existence but whenever you bump into them, they use their chances to pick on you every time. You didn’t know but didn’t care why they disliked you.

All you needed to know was that you also didn’t like them either.

You brought a plate of pancakes to each of your stepsisters, they giggled as they began to eat. They didn’t even thank you, but whatever.

“...[Name], pass me the syrup,” Leni called out, already gesturing for it with her hand, expecting it.

You put the entire bottle in her hand as you knew that she would ask you the moment she sat down. Immediately, you pulled out the butter as another voice chimed in.

“[Name]! Where’s the butter!?” Gisela said, dramatically before you came over, putting the butter near her plate.

Before your stepmother could open her mouth, you already put the teapot filled with warm milk along with lemons on her plate. Without saying anything, she gives you a surprised smile before resuming her meal.

You’ve lived as their maid long enough to know exactly what they demand of you now. But they still never failed to make you angry inside.

Before you could walk out of the room, Lady Avis turned to you. “Ah, dear. Here is the list of tasks we need you to do today.” She handed you a relatively long scroll. Another scroll, seriously? Apparently, the one in your room wasn't enough.

You sighed as you took it silently, she gave you an amused smirk before focusing her attention on her other daughters.

You silently glared at her, grabbing your broom nearby before walking out of the room.

You entered the cottage’s living room, seeing the obvious bits of dust here and there along with a bunch of your stepsister’s stuff all over the room. It was obvious they did it to give more work for you.

It’s just like any other day, basically chores, eat, and repeat for you. That’s how it has been for you ever since you were under the care of your stepfamily. It wasn’t pleasant at all, but… you really had no other choice since mother and father were gone.

You sighed, as you already were sweeping the floors.

You aimlessly wandered around the room, while your arms moved the broom, the bristles swaying around to clean up the dirty dust. Once the head is filthy enough, you put the broom in a water bucket you’ve always used to clean the grime off of the head for a bit before you resume sweeping the room. And this was only the first task of the day.

...

Somewhere in a tall tower of a palace, an adorable little girl with light pale blonde hair and the softest red eyes as she scribbles and doodles in her notebook. She had a bright smile on her face, her hand holding her red crayon that was coloring inside of the very thick lines.

After coloring a big heart in the notebook, she beamed as she finally finished her drawing of her wonderful family and a big red heart in the middle to symbolize just how much they all love each other.

The little girl smiled as she got up and quickly went over to another person in the room. Tugging her brother’s clean white sleeve, she exclaimed. “Bedo, look what I made!”

The said male looked down at her notebook, his teal eyes softened at the sight of the adorable drawing of his little sister, himself, and their mother holding hands. The background all colorful in his and her favorite colors added such a nice touch to it along with the giant heart on top of them.

“Klee, this is beautiful,” Albedo said down at her, patting her pale blonde hair.

Klee giggled. “Thank you, Bedo! Do you think Mommy will like it?”

“I’m sure she will love it.” He smiled in response. Albedo kneeled to her height, dusting her flowy red dress, his fingers also fixing the little stuffed toy in her skirt. “Be careful with your dress, Klee. Alice wouldn’t want you to ruin it.”

“Don’t worry, brother! I’m being extra careful.” Klee beamed with a bright smile.

As if on cue, a woman with similar exquisite features to the little girl enters the royal room. Her gorgeous long dress added simplicity and youthfulness to her character but her whole smile was filled with amusement and playfulness.

She beamed, smiling. “Good morning, children.”

“Mommy!” Klee beamed, running up to hug her. The woman hugged her back, giggling in response.

“Good morning, Alice.” Albedo smiled, bowing.

“Hi, Albedo.” Alice greeted back. “And no need to bow, dear. You are family to us, y’know? Ah, but that’s just how polite you are.”

“I know, Alice. But thank you.” He said in reply.

“Mommy, what do you think about my drawing?” Klee showed her notebook to her.

Alice gasped in awe, taking a good look at it. “Oh my! Klee, this is wonderful!” She smiled brightly, pinching her cheeks and the little girl giggled. “This is pure art! I think this would go wonderful in the gallery.”

“Mommy? You think so?” Klee beamed.

“Oh, I know so.” The woman gives her daughter a smile before standing up. “Anyways, children… I have an announcement for both of you.”

Albedo and Klee looked at her, curiously as Alice continued. “As per the tradition of Hexenmpire, we will be hosting a royal ball in the next few days in honor of the kingdom being its 290th birthday and the Hexenzirkel’s anniversary!”

Immediately, Klee was jumping up and down, cheering. “Yay! Another royal ball!”

“That’s wonderful, Alice.” Albedo smiled.

Alice turned to the pale blonde-haired male. “Albedo, I have invited other nations across and around Hexenmpire, and I think you would get along with the other kingdom’s princes, maybe you might even find talented artists and alchemists such as yourself.”

“Well, I’ll see for myself, Alice.” He nodded. “I would want to see and discuss with Zhenyu again.”

“I hope I’ll get to see Yoimiya again!” Klee beamed.

Alice giggled. “Well, I’m glad you two are excited like I am. I’ll be having a reunion tea party with the others.”

The prince smiled before his eyes glanced at the hanging royal pendulum clock, realizing the time. “Ah, excuse me. I have to go now.”

The little red girl looked up to her big brother. “Where are you going, Albedo?”

Alice responded to him. “Don’t worry, Klee. Albedo will just be out of the castle for a scenery change. I assume you’ll be painting something once again, dear?”

Albedo smiled, nodding. “Indeed. I plan to paint the village this time, but I’ll paint whatever I come across that is interesting. I could also hope to have discoveries to study.”

“Can I come with you, Bedo?” Klee asked.

“Sorry, you can’t dear. Albedo managed to finish his duties for today and you still have your duties to attend to. Maybe next time when you finish.” Alice reassured her daughter.

She pouted but nodded. “Okay.”

Her brother kneeled to her height, patting her hair. “Don’t worry, Klee. I’ll get you some fried fish for you. I know how much you love the grilled ones from the markets.”

She beamed, exclaiming happily. “Yay! Thank you, Bedo!” Klee hugs him and he hugs back.

...

Later On…

You walked out and entered the garden of the cottage. After sweeping the floors, washing endless dishes, and washing them by hand, your next assignment was to tend to the plants and flowers.

You walked over to one of the garden’s planter boxes that consisted of beautiful roses. Noticing how some of them looked unwell, you quickly grabbed the watering can nearby and poured water above all of the roses and you fixed some of their leaves.

You put on some gloves, get the garden’s bug spray, and spray the bushes to repel any bugs in the plants. Whilst spraying, you noticed an empty planter box. You remembered that you were also meant to plant some new vegetables today.

After watering the roses, you went over to the garden shed to get vegetable seeds to plant. You went over to the shelf, checking the bags of seeds but realized that there were no more vegetable seeds.

You looked confused, you were so sure that there was some in here last night. But when you heard giggling in the garden, you realized what had happened.

You went out to see Leni and Gisela through the window of your house, they were holding the missing vegetable seeds before scrambling away to hide them from you.

You glared and sighed. And to make it worse, you had already finished the extra vegetable seed this morning to feed the birds.

You frowned even more when Lady Avis stepped out to the garden with a strict tone. “[Name], dear, what are you doing standing there?” She glances at the planter boxes. “I see you’ve already watered the roses, but by now you should be planting the vegetables.”

You spoke up. “I apologize, madam. But there are no more vegetable seeds in the shed.”

She hummed in response. “Well, that seems to be a big problem, right?” You immediately felt uncomfortable when she started to circle you. “And what do you suppose you should do, [Name]?”

“Uh… I don’t know.” You said.

“Foolish person.” She spat. “Think harder through that non-existent brain of yours.”

You gulped. “...Well, I could buy myself fresh vegetables from the market?”

Avis nodded with a soft smile. “Very good.” Her smile dropped as she began walking back inside the house. “Now, go on, rat, before I lose my patience.”

As she enters inside once again, you give her an annoyed look without her noticing.

…

Stepping out of the cottage, you did feel relieved being out of that house, even if it was just for an errand. You’d take five minutes of peacefulness without your stepfamily any day.

The gentle wind breeze right through you as you walk down the hill from where your cottage was, stepping down the stairs of the cobblestone path. Brushing past the lilies and daisies in the grass, you walked over to the direction of the main town.

You noticed the familiar houses and fields, you smiled as you entered the entirety of the village. Immediately, you can see just how lively and crowded the place is. Many children running around playing, various shops exchanging trades, farmers planting their fields, etc. It reminded you how much your family enjoyed going outdoors and visiting the village.

Walking over to the nearby market, you smile up to the familiar worker. “Hi, Brook!”

The said girl with brown hair and an orange and white dress smiled up. “[Name]! Glad to see you again!”

“You too, Brook, I see business for you has been going great?” You responded.

“Definitely. I hope all is well for you and your stepfamily.” She said back.

You nodded. “I can manage.”

“Anyways, what can I do for you?” Brook smiled.

“I was hoping to buy vegetables from you.” You said, walking over to her basket display.

Brook was already preparing a wooden basket. “Sure, which and how many would you like?”

You pointed at the cabbages, cucumbers, onions, and potatoes. “I’ll have five of each.” You watch as Brook puts five of each of the vegetables you requested in the wooden basket.

“That’ll be twenty-five coins, [Name].” She said to you as you immediately get her the amount. “Thank you.”

You smile at her. “Thank you, Brook. Have a nice day.”

“You too!” You waved her goodbye as you walked away.

Instead of walking back home, you decided to walk further into the town. This was one of the very few chances where you could escape from your cruel household and knowing you might get a scolding later for staying out too late, you wanted to at least take advantage of this.

Humming a tune, you decided to sit down on an empty stone bench to take a deep breath. You closed your eyes as you relaxed peacefully on the bench and it brought a big smile to your face by hearing the lively atmosphere around you. A soft breeze brushes past you as you look around at your surroundings seeing beautiful flower beds in the grass and the cottages and shops, etc.

You recognize that familiar chirp. You look next to you and smile, seeing the familiar two bluebirds next to you. You’ve known them since you were a child to know exactly that they are the same birds and how much they are attached to you.

You open your hand for one of them to jump on. The blue bird wearing a little pink bow ribbon in their feathery head popped onto your hand. But suddenly, you see that the other blue bird with a green ribbon flew away. Surprised, the one in your hand flew to follow it.

Confused, you watch as they fly to a nearby strawberry and cherry tree, they are just sitting by themselves in one of the branches. You got up, walking over to the trees curiously.

The two bluebirds looked down at you, jumping and chirping happily as the one with the green ribbon this time flew to your open hand this time. You look up, seeing the one with the pink ribbon still in the branch and looking at you with its eyes.

You were about to focus your attention on the other when you noticed someone standing nearby with noticeable clean white clothing. You raise an eyebrow as the other bluebird flies past you once again to the direction you were looking at past the tree.

Confused, you followed the bird but stopped once you saw a male with bright teal eyes and his unique pale blonde hairstyle. He seemed a bit fascinated by the blue bird that was on his easel.

You had never seen this person before, he was a total stranger yet his appearance appeared noble based on his outfit and demeanour. He wasn’t a villager or commoner.

You only took one more step and that was enough to get his attention as he looked up in shock to finally notice you. Your [eye-colored] eyes meet his gorgeous teal eyes, and the two of you just stare at each other with curious, surprised, and confused glances.

...

but the only thing i need to do is finish up some parts and extra touches and then it will be complete. and I'm free for today so it's my chance to finish it.

i do apologize at how much late this has been but I can hope that the next year of 2024 will be a new time for me to post many future works and continue new fairytales... but for now, I'll be focusing solely on the first fairytale before anything else.

thank you and merry christmas! (in advance)

....

decided to give up on starlight, bcuz when i was making it, i thought i had a story idea, but meh when i looked at it closer, it felt too boring for me, and i didn't have any motivation to write it anyway

(i've been playing too much of fontaine oops and it's also because i'm a bit confused on the new tumblr dashboard)

anyways, i still want to attempt doing my first series so i'll try to be careful in creating my next story plan

i have an idea, so i hope it will come to light very soon, but i can't promise anything because i don't want to give false hope

btw thank u all for almost giving me 80 followers, i truly appreciate it :D

Qᴜᴇsᴛɪᴏɴɪɴɢ CʜɪSᴄᴀʀᴀ [Scaramouche, Tartaglia - Ft. (Name)] [Mᴏᴅᴇʀɴ AU]

i've discovered the "611 anthem" and it's been on my mind nonstop and this is how i ended up writing this... please it's so iconic 💀💀 i still can't believe griffin and patrick did something like this... i thank them for the awesome anthem 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️ (I'm also currently waiting for someone to animate it or the community to make more videos of it bcuz........... yes)

...

You were just in the living room, scrolling through your phone as you made yourself comfortable on the couch. You were bopping your head through the music playing from your Spotify.

The clubhouse for your group, the Fatui, was literally the best, probably better than your own home. Your leader, the Tsarita, definitely picked the grandest house for the members' hangout area.

Unfortunately, it was a Sunday, and many members, aka your besties and great friends, were busy today. You only knew that Pierro was hanging out with Capitano and Pulcinella.

And Pantalone, Sandrome, Columbina, and Signoria were out of town for a while. Dottore was busy with his science experiments, and Arlecchino was in another city called Fontaine. You didn't know why, but you didn't question it.

Leaving only you, Tartaglia, and Scaramouche. The two members you both love and had the biggest problem with complex names. Seriously, the two of them have like three or four names. But you love them either way.

You didn't know what they were doing. All you remember before was that you and Scaramouche were hanging out on the couch, watching trailers of the upcoming movies you both were interested in until Childe literally pulled him and dragged him away, ignoring Scaramouche's angry temper.

So here you are, listening nonstop to your music albums and scrolling through your phone, bored. God, what can you do?-

You snap out of your thoughts when you suddenly hear the loudest beats you've ever heard. It made you jump, and you heard it immediately come from the backyard of the clubhouse. You raise an eyebrow as you walk up to the door that leads outside.

As you were about to open it, you witness Scaramouche sitting on one of the pool chairs as he was wearing a gold chain that had an anemo symbol, and shades, and holding his mother's treasure like it was a trophy.

But you jumped when he literally yelled behind the door as the beat continued. "Yo, where you at, Childe!?"

You notice that Childe was wearing almost the same things, and his and Scara's outfits changed, looking like rappers.

"Lift your brims, Scara, I'M RIGHT HERE!" You see Childe coming, and he literally threw a pool ball to Scara, but the purple-haired guy was unbothered.

"HIT' EM WITH THAT FIRST VERSE!" Scaramouche laughed. "I mean, no. You were playable before me?"

"Uh-huh."

"Let's go!"

"Alright! Slay all day!"

You then watch the two going around the pool, singing and rapping about lyrics that involve the memes of their fan groups. They were recording themselves around the pool and literally, it was a strange sight that Scaramouche was dancing and saying the craziest lyrics.

You stifle your laughter behind the backyard door and immediately whipped out your phone to record them. Their voices were loud so the recording managed to get their beats playing and their voices. You wheezed out loud when they said some lines that sound super weird coming from them, most coming from Scaramouche.

You were planning to send this to the other members because this was hilarious to you. This was the new entertainment and music you were craving for.

...

Their song didn't end that long because, after around two minutes, they were finished. And you literally laughed dying at the last lines they had to say to their song as the beat dies down.

"Yo, Scara! That was more than Tartagalicious! That was SCARAMOUCHE-ALICIOUS! I can't even say it!"

"..."

"We should do an emo song next."

"...What?... The ANEMO song... Anemo..."

The moment the beat stops, you burst out laughing as you finish recording, and you decide to be a hysterical hyena, revealing yourself and stepping into the backyard.

Scaramouche and Childe look at you, laughing with your phone whipped out. Childe was surprised but he wasn't mad like Scaramouche who was literally red.

"OMG! WTF WAS THAT...!" You yelled, wheezing. "I'm not surprised Childe to do this, but you... Scara, I didn't think were into this too..!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, (NAME)!" Scaramouche fumed.

...

A few days later, the entire house was filled with absolute laughter.

You, who somehow manage to avoid Scaramouche and his evil actions to murder you, showed the recording to the members when all of them came back into the clubhouse.

Dottore, Columbina, Pulcinella, and Pantalone were laughing hysterically with you as the video plays its iconic lyrics and beats.

You even notice the Tsarita, laughing, the lady of the house who rarely expresses emotions, laughing with you. She wasn't as loud as you but her laugh was more than enough for you.

Sandrone and Capitano were giggling, not laughing as hard as most of you were, but still found the video amusing.

Meanwhile, Pierro, Arlecchino, and Signoria were deadpanning at the laughing members, but they mostly looked embarrassed and shameful of the video.

"Bro, literally, wtf?"

"I love it!!"

"Nice singing, Childe! You too, Scara!"

"It's so good!"

"...This is quite amusing."

"Very funny~"

"Quite fun."

"...Why am I even here?"

"...Such Children."

"...This is the most embarrassing thing in fatui history."

Childe was grinning in his seat, enjoying the attention and the music video. He was not bothered at all and loved how the song turned out.

But...

All laughter died down when Scaramouche entered with the scariest glare you've ever seen.

And he. was. staring. at. you.

You yelped and laughed nervously out loud when Scaramouche then chased you with a butter knife.

"SCARA, WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!"

"GET BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE BITCH!"

"...I'm surprised he's mad at (Name). I thought he would also be mad at Childe, too."

"Pierro, don't give Scaramouche ideas-"

"OH DON'T WORRY! I'LL MAKE SOMETHING TARTAGALICIOUS OUT OF AJAX!"

"WAIT, SCARAMOUCHE! I'M SORRY! AHHHH- HELP!"

...

Chaos flooded the entire clubhouse.

...

And through it all, the Tsarita smiled. "...What a lovely evening at the clubhouse!"

...

authors: ok, help... what did i create... idk i'm sorry... but i still love it... anyways, unless another iconic thing appears before me, don't worry I'm still working at starlight lmao... now I'm considering add something like this in starlight now...

A Play of Vigorous Wisdom (PART THREE)

Interdarshan Championship Event x Reader (Genshin 3.6) Scaramouche/Wanderer x Reader

oh god, i'm so sorry this took like such a while to get out. i had so much going on and was extremely busy that I completely forgot i even had tumblr lol (and i will admit that procrastination played a part of this). I'm very sorry for keeping you guys waiting - genshin has already reached it's version 3.8 and the next will be fontaine while this whole event I'm writing about was back in version 3.6

ugh, i'm so dead...... but i did my best to finish this as possible!

PART ONE, PART TWO, PART THREE BONUS - Fighting For The Diadem (Cyno, Tighnari, Kaveh, Layla, Faruzan)

Hope you enjoy!

Today is still a rest day from the second round of the Interdarshan Championship. And, tomorrow will be the start of the third round of the competition. With the third round coming soon, all people around in the Akademiya Extravaganza were anticipating who could win this year.

You were one of the representatives of Vahumana along with your partner, Wanderer, but known as Hat Guy. Archons, the name of your boyfriend is just hilarious. You guys only participated in this event because of Nahida's request so both of you didn't have motivation or a motive to win this at all.

You didn't mind if you didn't win, you were extremely burnt out from participating other events and work from the Akademiya was already stressful enough.

But, as you were walking, you were kind of irritated that people around this time were talking about how you and Hat Guy weren't making an effort in participating the event.

"Vahumana literally has zero points…"

"What are they? Lazy?"

"Poor them. They are last place by this point."

If you weren't doing this because of Nahida's request and if you weren't tired right now, you would actually be ticked off, storm to them, and give them a piece of your mind. But you realize what they say is close enough as everyone already knows we aren't doing anything.

You just ignored what they were saying as you entered into the House of Daena.

The beautiful library stood out to the Akademiya as usual. The atmosphere of stepping into this wide-open place was enchanting, as everything felt peaceful and calming. Even though you've been heard more than once, it still became a comforting zone for you.

"Hey, (Name)!" A/N: I decided to change (y/n) into (name) because i realized typing out y/n is a hassle 💃(I'm doing this for all of my works now)

You turned to see your Vahumana friends calling out to you as they sat at a table filled with documents and books lying around them.

You have made friends with them ever since you enrolled in this darshan. They were just as chaotic as you and had similar interests to you. You guys always chat with one another at the House Of Daena and even during classes. Your friends love to share gossip with you because they all like to keep up with news about the Akademiya, either for curiosity or just drama. (If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't have known that your boyfriend was Hat Guy.)

You walked up to them. "Hey, guys."

"(Name)!" One of your friends, Arman, smiled at you. "I'm glad to see you again."

Your other friend Rahim was just doing some work, he did wave at you, but he seemed too busy.

Cyra, another friend of yours, smiled. "So, how's our little Vahumana representative going on?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Although, we are in last place." You answered.

Your friends didn't react or are mad at you at all. They all assumed you only became a participant because you were chosen by the majority recommendation. They knew how tiring it has been for you these past few days in the Akademiya. In reality, that was your cover-up which Nahida did for you.

Cyra hummed before widening. "Oh, yeah, Hat Guy was your partner, right? You finally got to meet him!"

You smiled as you nodded. "Yeah, I did."

Your relationship with Wanderer is private so nobody really knew you two were a thing, except for Nahida, The Traveler, and Paimon.

Rahim chimed in. "Yeah, Hat Guy is kind of cute…"

"Mhm. I will say he is beautiful." You chuckled.

"Right!? I immediately died the moment I saw him!" Cyra beamed. "Whoever ends up with him is so lucky…"

"Why do you guys like him?" Arman raised an eyebrow. "That guy always seems so grumpy like a little brat."

"He's hot!"

You giggled at the way they talk about your boyfriend. You don't blame them, honestly because it's true.

The next few moments between the four of you were just conversing about how everyone was doing recently, like how your friends were all complaining about how their lessons and research were getting more complicated by the day. You tell them a bit of your experience with the previous rounds of the championship.

Until Rahim said something interesting. "Hey, guys, I want to tell you something I found weird…"

"Hmm, what is it?" You turned to him.

Rahim muttered. "I heard that someone is planning to kidnap Sachin…"

Your eyes widened in confusion and shock. Arman had the same reaction. But Cyra just looked puzzled.

"Huh? Who's Sachin?" Cyra asked.

Arman rolled his eyes at her. "He's the one sponsoring the Interdarshan Championship. He's also the researcher who found the Diadem Of Knowledge."

"Oh, that guy…" Cyra mumbled.

You ignored her as you asked. "Where did you hear that from?"

"The night when the second round of the championship has finished, I heard Aarav, one of the Matras talking about how someone is planning to kidnap Sachin," Rahim said. "I saw him talking with the Traveler."

"The Traveler? You mean the infamous traveler all over Teyvat with their companion Paimon?" Arman asked.

You furrowed your eyebrows, taking into this new information you had just learned. You weren't that surprised if the Traveler themselves already knew something about the championship and Sachin, but it still did catch you off guard by how fast they knew more.

"Rahim, did you hear anything else in their conversations?"

He answered. "Well, I've heard that the people who are planning to kidnap Sachin were just a bunch of Eremites and the matra will take action into this immediately. Besides that, all they really talked about was what kind of a person Sachin is and how the Aarav gave the idea of the traveler to also investigate. That's all."

You hummed. "I see."

"(Name), I'd say you shouldn't worry and get yourself involve to this mess. Besides, if the Traveler is taking care of it, then I'm sure it will be handled any time soon." Cyra smiled.

"Yeah, you're right." You smiled back at her. "I won't."

I will.

...

You had just finished explaining to your boyfriend what you heard, but it seemed to make him be in deep thought for a while.

"Huh, I kind of figured that was the case..." Wanderer muttered. "I remember overhearing two girls talking about suspicious tourists at the cafe."

"So, these suspicious tourists are supposedly the ones planning to kidnap or kill Sachin..." You said.

"That seems to be the case, yes." He sighed. "Another pain to deal with."

You said. "Hmm, I say we should stop them before the third round tomorrow. Who knows if they will be striking or disrupting the Extravaganza..."

"I suppose." Then you see him smirk. "Besides, just beating up a bunch of scums would be extremely fun and bring me energy up for the third round."

"I say you save your remaining energy for tomorrow, Hat Guy."

"Seriously? I thought that you would forget about that name."

"Well, I did a bit but I think it suits you pretty well."

"Please no."

"Hat guy? More like Hot G-"

"Finish that sentence and I throw you out to the window again."

"OKAY! OKAY!"

...

"So, shall we go ahead and do it now?" You asked him.

He shook his head. "No, because if we do it now, they will still have more time to sabotage and execute their plan. It's better if we just do it tomorrow. Besides, I'm too tired for this shit."

"But the third round literally starts at 11:00 AM?" You exclaimed in disbelief in which your boyfriend just rolled his eyes

"Then, we'll just have to do it before that. It's not my fault your sleeping schedule is messed up."

"You sombrero bitch-"

...

The next morning - 11:05 AM

Every contestant is now at Mawtiwya Forest near the venue. Alhaitham and Nilou talked to each other or set things up while the contestants were wandering around the area or talking to each other until the grand sage's voice gained everyone's attention.

"Everyone, we are about to begin the third round." Alhaitham walked up front with Nilou beside him. "I will now explain this championship's third and final round."

"The diadem of knowledge is placed somewhere in Mawtiyama Forest. Your goal is to reach the diadem, bring it back, and place it on the stand. Because of our scoring system, the first person to do this will get four points and will likely be the winner of this year's championship."

"And I will say in advance that you are allowed to use your vision or any other strategy you wish to pull off," Nilou said. "It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you have the diadem."

You gasped as you thought. 'Combat? Meh, it's better than finding butterflies or Ley Lines. Although, I'm still tired from fighting them... I didn't get enough sleep!'

...

AN HOUR AGO

...

You and Wanderer were now outside of Sumeru City, inspecting the area around in sight of the kidnappers or any group that is treasure hoarders.

You were pretty drowsy as you had just woken up. "Ugh..."

"Quit whining and keep looking." Wanderer sighed. "I told you. You should've slept early."

"It wasn't my fault!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

You both continue to walk, you were slumping a bit, clearly tired until Wanderer put an arm upfront to stop you. You were about to question him until you felt him pull you behind a tree.

You look past his shoulders to see treasure hoarders. They were talking very loud and in the midst of it, about Sachin. There also seem to be someone else that had a completely different attire than them. But from the looks of it, they were clearly working together.

"It's clearly them," Wanderer uttered.

"Yeah, no shit." You said

As if anybody would say anything else, another voice spoke up quietly behind you two. "Well, well, I didn't expect to see you two hear."

Your eyes widen, quickly turn around to find someone you didn't expect.

"Alhaitham!?" You said surprised as Wanderer looked at him, unbothered.

The latter crossed his arms. "I can tell we are both here for the same reason, for the group who are planning to kidnap Sachin. Why else would you both be out here?"

"So what? Are you going to snitch on us or punish us for trying to get to the bottom of this?" Wanderer inquired.

"No, actually. In fact, the two of you being here would make this a lot easier." Alhaitham smirk. "I want to question them, but they would obviously put up a fight. So, if you can defeat them, I can question them smoothly. I know you both were here to fight them anyways so that they won't disturb the third round, am I right?"

"...Yes." You sighed. "Fine."

"Seriously?" Wanderer deadpanned.

"Well, we're going to beat their asses either way."

The eremites' conversations are cut short when they see you and Wanderer walking up to them.

One of them stopped you. "You looking for trouble?"

You didn't respond as you threw your polearm near the treasure hoarder. They barely dodged it as Wanderer flew up with his vision and started to throw his anemo wind blades.

All of them screamed and protest but as you start using your anemo vision, both of you showed no mercy and didn't say anything to them as you continue to beat them all.

...

You sighed, remembering that moment. For some reason, you thought you see Alhaitham flash you a smirk. You shook your head as you try to focus because the third round is going to start, and you will be using a lot of energy today.

"You look already worn out and the round hasn't even started." Wanderer eyed you. "Archons, you don't listen to me when I tell you to sleep."

"I do what I want." You say, looking away, yawning a bit.

"Do you at least know what to do..?" He asked making you nod.

"Of course! We just have to get the diadem in place first!"

"Hey, if you can't do that much if you're that tired, don't force yourself, alright?" He whispers to you softly.

You look at him, knowing he's somewhat concerned. You reassuringly smiled at him. "It's okay, I'll be fine. I won't."

He nods, as now you both turn to the hosts.

"Alright, if all of these rules are clear..." Alhiatham said. "The round starts..... now."

Immediately, everyone took running off to Mawtiwya forest.

Third round begins.

...

You and Wanderer were faster than the others with the other contestants trying to catch up. Probably because both of your anemo abilities were more overpowered than anyone since he could fly and you have faster speed from your skills. It was quite surprising because you still felt tired.

"Go to the west, I'll head east," Wanderer commanded out for you as he flew away to the right. You rolled your eyes at his harsh tone but went ahead to the left side of the forest. As you ran to the direction, you see behind your shoulder Faruzan and Layla running to the same direction you are heading.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, junior. But I still wish you two the best of luck. And don't take what I do to heart after this round, I will try and do the same with you too~" Faruzan winked at you as she continue run up ahead and went into a different part of the forest.

After she went away, you turn to Layla next to you as you said. "May the best win, Layla."

"Oh, you too! Good luck!" Layla nervously said but you can hear how genuine she is with her encouragement to you.

You went ahead to different parts of the forest, still in no sight of the diadem. You also ran into the other contestants during the middle of it. It was a pain for you. It was just like exploring the areas when you first came to Sumeru. Although it was fun for you, it can be a bit irritating to not find anything you're looking for. You remember the pain of finding at least chests all by yourself in giant forests in all of the other nations you visited.

While doing so, you even saw Wanderer a few times. He was legit flying around like he was a fucking fairy or an insect. You gave him a deadpanned look every time and, he literally sticks out his iconic tongue expression on you all the time. God, he's been always doing that when you're busy and you sometimes feel like he does them even when you're not here.

The other contestants, they didn't really say that much to you when you ran into them. You and they were all focused intently on finding the diadem fast.

You were out of luck as you searched everywhere until...

Out of the corner of your eyes, you see Layla running holding the diadem. It seems she found it first

Your eyes widen as you immediately dash after her.

...

As Layla had successfully retrieved the diadem swiftly and quietly, she knew it wouldn't last very long but still did her best to keep a low profile and try and head to the venue as quick as possible. And now she sees in the corner of her eyes in surprise as you run after her, trying to keep up her pace. She was starting to pant heavily from running faster than usual.

But her blood ran cold as she stopped to see Faruzan ahead, blocking her path. Layla had to act fast because she knew you were still following and catching up to her, and now she had to deflect whatever Faruzan was planning.

As soon as the girl sees the astrology girl, Faruzan releases one of her mechanical devices infused with her anemo vision that immediately darts straight in Layla's direction. The moment it was about to hurt Layla in any way, she quickly summoned a cyro shield around her. The shield protected her as the device hit the shield and immediately went through different directions instead.

Seeing the machine take off, Layla attempts to run again, but Faruzan decides to block her path by running up to her completely. The two of them are completely unaware of the two Vahumana representatives after them.

Layla and Faruzan both stopped running as they felt a sudden swift wind blowing against the both of them, and both don't see the diadem anymore in Layla's arms. The latter looked confused and surprised, while the other girl knew as she looked behind her to see the two people behind her.

Hat Guy to them or known as Wanderer, flew with the diadem now in his hands while you were on the ground with your polearm in one of your hands. Wanderer threw the diadem at you, and you catch it. You both share a quick high-five as Wanderer flies fast next to you as you run beside him. Hat Guy smirks and chuckles at Layla and Faruzan.

Triggered, Faruzan quickly summons another one of her devices that sends off quickly that seems to be following after you. You quickly sense a gust of wind after you, which you knew was the device.

You use your polearm from your hand, infusing your weapon with your anemo vision before taking a brief turn of the crazy and fast device up ahead. As you run, you swing your polearm at the device, hitting it perfectly and knocking it backward.

After you knocked it, Wanderer used his anemo skills and sent an anemo wind blade to the device, knocking it even more powerful. It now sends it backward to Layla and Faruzan strong. Both girls barely managed to dodge it in time by moving out of the way of the broken device on the ground. Layla looked shocked, while Faruzan was more mad as she watched two of you fly and run away with the diadem.

...

After a brief moment of dealing with Layla and Faruzan, you groaned in frustration as you see in the corner of your eyes Tighnari aiming his bow and arrows at the two of you. Once Tighnari meets your stare, he immediately shoots multiple arrows from his charged attack.

You crawled and rolled to the ground as you avoided them. Wanderer, instead just flew fast straight past the arrows, unbothered by his iconic dark laugh. In the midst of it, you had time to admire and gaped at your boyfriend. Like your mind for a brief moment was just admiring him and boasting to yourself how he's your man. What can you say? You do love him.

Snapping out of your thoughts, you used your anemo vision with your weapon once again and swung the polearm that was aimed toward Wanderer. The polearm rolls around in the air until it is caught by the owner.

Cyno grabs it and dashes forward in front of you and Wanderer. He immediately passes by you and tries to send an attack on your boyfriend. Wanderer flew, dodging it and sending his wind blades, initiating the personal fight between them.

As you were about to step into the fight, Wanderer gave you a stern glare. You knew him well enough what he was trying to say, he is telling you to just go with the diadem and break eye contact as he dodged Cyno's strike. You quickly nodded and ran away from their fight with the diadem in your hands, keeping it secured.

Tighnari was up high in one of the mushrooms in the forest again. As soon as he sees you running, he aims and throws his Vijnana Stormheart from above at you. You barely notice it, but you avoid it quickly by performing an anemo lunge forward from your elemental skill before resuming to dashing away. In the process, it also destroyed the stormheart.

You see that Tighnari is planning on hitting you with his charged attacks again. The moment the arrows have been released, you performed multiple slashes with your anemo lunge. You also swing your polearm and destroyed some of his arrows.

Meanwhile, Wanderer and Cyno continue to fight each other. Both swing attacks and send them to each other while dodging and retaliating. The Wanderer only continues to fight, so that it will distract the general mahamatra so that he doesn't go after you.

But that seemed to fail immediately because Cyno noticed your figure running away with something shiny with you. He realize that your partner didn't have the diadem in him, so that would mean...

The moment he realized, Cyno pushed Wanderer away and quickly sprinted after you. Wanderer's eyes widen in shock before he quickly flew after him.

...

After dealing with Tighnari, you yelped as you rolled to the floor, dodging the incoming electro strike coming after you. You briefly glanced and knew it was Cyno who did it. After his failed strike, he immediately started to attack you again. You were left with no choice but to fight against him.

Wanderer, still flying, squinted his eyes a bit to see the fight happening. Cyno was simply swinging his polearm around to attack you while you deflected it by performing your own polearm attacks and using your anemo vision infused. Both of your polearms clashing against each other, some attacks where you used your anemo vision to send off anemo attacks that swirl around Cyno and your charged attack to give him a hard time. General mahamatra deflected your attacks with his polearm and did more of his electro strikes.

As Wanderer was about to fly over, he noticed and turned around to see Kaveh flying towards him, clutching a device from Faruzan that seemed out of control. The moment that Kaveh flies past him with the device, he uses his anemo-charged attack on him that sends Kaveh blasting away.

Kaveh was sent off flying in the direction of you and Cyno's fight. Immediately, Cyno noticed and leaped out of the path when Kaveh grew near Wanderer's blast. But you barely had time to react when Kaveh hit his body against yours, making you yelp as you were thrown off above. It was such a powerful impact because you lost grip of the diadem that was also knocked into the air. Your body was about to fall to the ground when a gust of wind flew past, and a pair of arms held you tightly from above. Wanderer holds you in his arms while still flying.

The diadem that was knocked into the air was about to land when Kaveh used Mehrak to grab hold of the diadem in the air as he continued to slide onto the floor. He threw the diadem that was still secured to his toolbox. The diadem rolled into the sky before lunging forward in Kaveh's direction.

Kaveh was thrown off even more into the path further because of the diadem of knowledge's impact on his chest. Kaveh flew again and crashed onto the ground with the diadem of knowledge in his hands. It was a perfect moment for him since Kaveh crashed in front of the third round's venue.

...

You watch Kaveh from a distance walking to the stand tiredly, about to put the diadem onto the stand.

A dark chuckle blew against your ear, making it tickle you. You deadpanned as you turned to Wanderer. He was still flying and holding you in his arms since he caught you.

"...Didn't I tell you to not force yourself? And look at that. Sleeping beauty in my arms~" Wanderer smirks making you glare at him.

You held your glare for a while before laughing. "Well, thank you, my beautiful knight." You both smile for a bit before turning to the scene where Kaveh is talking to the ghost-like figure of Sachin.

Everyone seems distracted by the scene so nobody really paid attention to the Vahuman students wherein one was holding the other.

Wanderer sighed. "...Well, we lost. Do you want to stay and listen?"

You immediately shook your head. "Nah, let's go." Your boyfriend smirked as he flew away with you in his arms. No one noticed, except two certain traveling companions.

...

After the whole fiasco of Sachin's speech and Kaveh breaking the diadem of knowledge and refusing to take upon Sachin's research, Kaveh is declared the winner of this year's Interdarshan Championship.

The two of you were now telling Lesser Lord Kusanali about your findings and your discoveries on the past few days of how the Interdarshan Championship went.

"...I see," Nahida muttered before smiling brightly at you and him. "You both did well. I am proud of you."

"...Well, what shall we do now, Kusanali?" You asked her. "...Is there anything you want to know about Sachin's research?"

"...Actually, yes. I would want to get his research, but I don't plan to use it. Anyways, I would like you both to accompany me." Nahida smiled.

...

Even after the Interdarshan Championship is coming to an end, The Traveler and Paimon decide to head to Aaru Village in hopes to find where Sachin supposedly left his research. The two both arrived and conversed with Alhaitham a bit about his research and his points of view on this matter.

After a while, Alhaitham went off, leaving the Traveler and Paimon. Both were confused as they were waiting for the ones who supposedly would answer their questions, according to Alhaitham.

The two of them were looking through the research left here before hearing multiple footsteps.

"Traveler, Paimon, you're already here." Both turn around to hear Nahida's soft voice speak.

"Nahida! and (Name)!... oh, and Hat Guy..." Paimon muttered as you and Hat Guy were walking beside Nahida. You waved at them as the Traveler also waved back. "Wait, so did you ask them to take part in the Championship?"

"Yes, it was me. Are you surprised?" Nahida raises an eyebrow. But the traveler shook their head and responded. "Actually, not really..."

"Did you know that there was something wrong with the diadem from the start? And if so, why didn't you switch it out for another one?" Paimon asked.

"Because Sachin's research is not mistaken. He spent his entire life researching this topic, and these materials are a result of that." Nahida stated. "These are the crystallization of his wisdom. Yes, I was worried that the material might cause some disruption, but I didn't want to wipe away all his hard work searching for the truth. So instead, I had (Name) and Hat Guy here to help me keep an eye on things."

"Seriously? I think you can stop calling me that now." Wanderer turns down Nahida.

"Why not? I think I like it. It suits you." You grin at him as he sighed. Nahida nodded and smiles too before turning to the others.

"...Well, anyway — if Sachin's chosen successor hadn't been able to handle his research, or if it had brought pain to more people, he would have intervened at a suitable moment."

Hat Guy spoke up beside you. "And after all that, the person Sachin chose, turned his nose up at his life's work. Pretty hilarious."

"I was also hoping that this could be an opportunity for you to learn how to interact with people normally... I even thought it would help you better if (Name) was by your side, but it looks like that didn't work out." Nahida sighed.

"That wasn't necessary. I'm still paying you back for your help, and the last thing I need is more reasons to be indebted to you." He tells Nahida.

"Don't worry, Kusanali. Hat Guy and I sure had a great time together in the championship." You smile at her in which she smiled back.

Paimon interrupted. "Nahida, what did you mean by "Sachin's research is not mistaken"? Does that mean that you approve of his research?"

She hummed in response. "Hmmm. Put it this way instead. Truth, to me, is like a Shroomboar."

(sorry, i'm skipping this because i don't want her speech to take most of this part already... still a good speech though nahida <3) Lesser Lord Kusanali proceeds to tell about her analysis and comparison of how a shroom boar is seen and how she tells how the world is the same.

"Ultimately, my duty as the God of Wisdom is to guide every form of wisdom to a place where it can find its purpose." Nahida finishes.

"That was a long speech," Wanderer muttered.

You nodded "Indeed, but it's a great perspective and I agree with some of her points with it. So, Kusanali, what do you plan to do with the research? Do you plan to keep it or not use it?"

Nahida nodded. "Yes. Because Kaveh, as the successor of this research, does not wish to see these ideas disseminated, I will seal it up."

"But even though Sachin's research could be considered "negative" wisdom, it is still a building block of the truth. If someone wishes to follow in his footsteps in the future, I will not stop them."

Nahida turns to Wanderer. "I also look forward to the day that a member of the Vahumana Darshan can not only comprehend his theories but also find a way out from the despair as well." You smirk knowing who she's referring to.

"Hmph, Vahumana doesn't have that kind of talent..." He trailed off before realizing. "Wait, you're not intending to keep me in Vahumana long-term, are you? Hah, I don't remember signing up to become a scholar. Don't you think I'm useful enough to you as a prisoner?"

Paimon sighed as the Traveler facepalmed. "Oh boy, here we go again..."

"Why not? Don't you want to work in Vahumana with me?" You smile at him.

"As if. I see you already procrastinating a lot and you don't even get enough sleep. It was already a pain to work with you, idiot." He said as you stare at him, offended.

"...We. Do. Not. Talk. About. That. Hat. Guy." You smile darkly at him.

Nahida spoke up. "Well, to that, I would say that in Sumeru, even prisoners have the right to an education. I hope that your studies in Vahumana will help you deal with your own fate, and learn how best to settle old debts from your past."

"By the way, (Name)," You turn to her. "I am really happy about how hard you worked for Vahumana. I've been getting a bit of intel and seeing how much your progress has grown. Even though your habits are bad, your hard work has paid off in your thesis and research."

You blush slightly as you smile at her. "Oh, thank you, Kusanali... I really appreciate it..."

She giggled as she turn to Hat Guy. "I will also review your final thesis myself. I am expecting great things from you, Mr. Hat Guy."

You laughed alongside Nahida at him.

Wanderer rolled his eyes. "...Tsk."

...

...oh my gosh, why did it take so long to get this out... i sincerely apologize everybody... BUT IT'S FINISHED YAYYY
