Ever since you had been thrown into this world or better known as Teyvat, people have chased you back and forth for your blessings. The last few days have been rough on you so you decide to take a break. Staying in your teapot will help you relax, especially after so many acolytes offered help to decorate it so neatly. 

Having alone time is what you needed the most right now. You enjoyed your peaceful moments while sitting on a bench. The sun slowly setting, creating a perfect golden hour, just you and the tea that Zhongli made for you this afternoon. The silence was disturbed, when you felt a gust of wind. Great, you think to yourself, another visitor.

You keep your eyes closed as to not acknowledge the visitor standing behind you. Even though you gave certain people permission to enter as they wish, you still felt annoyed. 

“Your Grace”, a quiet voice calls out for you.

Taking a deep breath and turning around, you see Xiao, kneeling on the ground not daring to make eye contact or get up without your permission. He was the last to expect coming into your teapot. 

“Yes, Xiao? Do you need something?”

“Your Grace, everyone is asking for you. You have been isolating yourself for weeks now.”, he speaks.

“Didn't I ask to not be bothered? Xiao, I never knew you would be so quick so disobey, what a shame. I thought you were my most loyal acolyte, no?”, you smile.

He snaps up looking at you with wide eyes “I am deeply sorry, I will refrain from questioning you further.”

You raise from your seat and stand in front of Xiao, who is still kneeling. You bend down to pick the qingxin beside him. Gently tucking it behind his ear, you admire his face. Its crazy how he was just a 3D model in a game and now hes a real person who has opinions, desires and emotions. A mind of his own. Is that what you are so desperately searching in him? Perhaps everything is a dream waiting to find its end? Yet, you long for these moments with Xiao. You wish to take him back to the world you were born in. The ’real’ world. You lift his chin up and look into his eyes. If you ever bring him into your world, would his eye color change? The pretty shades of yellow and gold reflect nothing but loyalty to you, would they stay? 

“Xiao, if I disappeared one day, don't bother to search for me. When the day of departure comes, I promise I will leave a sign behind.”, you whisper.

Xiao says nothing. But the way you see him close his eyes and lean into your touch, he understands. You never wanted to get too close to any of the characters yet here you are, caressing Xiao's face. If he only knew how much you loved him. You let out a sigh and sit back down on the bench. 

You give Xiao a quick glance “You may sit if you wish”, and resume on drinking your now cold tea.

Looking at the sunset once again, you hear footsteps approaching. From the side of your eye you see Xiao, quietly sitting down next to you as to not disturb your peace. Silently you pour a cup of the for him too. The tea might help him relax for a bit. He bows in response to you pushing the cup to him. Poor boy, if only you could see him so shy every day.

“If you disappear one day, will you take me with you?”

“I would if it were possible. The world I was born in would maybe be easier on you as there is no need to fight monsters. Even if it was possible to bring someone with me, I would take you with me because you are my favorite.”

He stares at you as if you said something stupid. You were technically speaking the truth but would you really drag him out of this world for your selfishness?

You begin to cough as to break the silence. Xiao still stays silent until he feels your hand on his shoulder. He looks at your hand and back to you. You can tell he is confused, how cute, you think to yourself.

“Xiao, the reason I would take you with me is because I love you.”, you smile awkwardly. This is so embarrassing to you, a god, confessing their feelings. Not just to any normal acolyte but to the most loyal one.

“Your Grace, I-”

The sudden feeling of coldness jolts you awake. You're back where you fell asleep. The dream felt too real for you and the overwhelming feeling wash over you in an instant. A bright screen catches your attention. Right, you forgot to turn your laptop off. You look closely and it seems like you left Genshin Impact open. As you try to log off, a notification pops up. New mail? At this time? Deciding to check it out, you open it.

An eons long promise

BARK BARK WOOF WOOF im in tears literally one of my fav fanfics rn <<<<<<<<333333333333

CONGRATS ON 900+ CHOCOOOOO! For my order I'f lke a Standard Chocolate bar with bitter golden envy flavor! With sweet honeyed syrup! With an additional 3. I'll send it to Xiao! From regular reader!

An order for the 900+ Follower event

Coming right up!

You'd like a choco bar (standard short story) with bitter golden envy flavoring (villain au) with added honeyed syrup (disney princess tag). You want to send Xiao "You can fly away with me tonight" from regular reader. Got it!

*~Notes: two sad gremlins think they're gonna kill each other but actually fall in platonic (or romantic if you want) love.

*~Warnings: Cult behaviors, villain au, Xiao is depressed, everyone thinks they're gonna die but no one does

The moment he laid eyes on you he knew he couldn't follow through with Rex Lapis' orders. He swore loyalty, he never hesitated with kills, and yet when your eyes met him he paused.

They were filled with so much familiarity. You'd known him for 500 years or more, you'd loved him for 500 years or more.

He was a traitor today, he realized, as his spear clattered to the ground. A traitor to you and your warm gaze that wiped a millennia of pain from his shoulders.

He was a traitor to Rex Lapis, as well. For not killing you the moment he found you.

In every sense, once more, he was in the wrong. Someone would hate him, everyone would hate him.

He bitterly bit the inside of his cheek and dug his nails into the palms of his hands as he got on his knees before you. Of course this would happen to him, there was no one else fit of such a punishment. Nobody else deserved this but him.

His forehead touched the ground, he muttered hurried apologies. He didn't want to force you to listen to his voice. One you no doubt hated.

He awaited a strike, prepared himself for the pain. It'd be well-deserved for almost killing you, his god. The one he devoted so much time to, the one he and all of Liyue adored.

After a moment of stunned silence, you finally moved. He stiffened.

You grabbed his head and lifted it, cupping his cheeks with tears running down your face. You smiled, and the weight constantly on his mind, weighing his heart and shoulders down, almost fully disappeared within that one moment. He felt as though he could fly.

"Thank you." You whispered happily through the tears.

*~

You took a stunned Xiao to your temporary home in the undergrounds of Liyue. In a cave long forgotten, or maybe it was new. Either way, it was your small abode for the time being. Nothing too grand or nice was in there, just a bed to sleep in and a few trinkets.

Xiao took it all in, dedicating every item to memory. It must be important if it belonged to you, after all.

"Xiao," you grinned, "Do you wanna see something? As a thank you for not hurting me?"

He blinked, "I- I merely did what the rest of Teyvat should've done... but..." Your eyes were hopeful, staring at him, "Yes please."

You giggled and grabbed his hand. He swore his heart nearly beat out of his chest. You dragged him to a corner of the room and moved a miscellaneous rock aside.

You heaved to move it and gently, Xiao helped you, moving it with ease.

"Thanks," You sighed with a smile.

Behind the rock was a small opening, one that you squeezed yourself through. Xiao didn't dare question you, and instead followed you in.

After a minute of walking through the tight space, so tight he could hardly breathe comfortably, the cave opened up. He could stand up properly now, and even though it was still uncomfortable there was enough room for him and you.

It was when the path started to curve upwards was when Xiao realized what was happening.

It was merciful, wasn't it? He thought, to die by your hand. If it wasn’t you it’d be Rex Lapis, or all of Liyue. Out of all of them, he preferred you.

He was silent behind you, preparing himself for his death. Would you play with him before he died? Why did you want him high up? Punishment?

His heart clenched as he stared at your back with a million questions. He voiced none of them. No matter what you had in store for him, he’d take it. It was his punishment.

Though your thank you still rang in his mind, he knew it was fake. To get you to trust him, so he’d follow you, so you could kill him. Or perhaps it was to make this more painful, either way, he wouldn’t complain.

A peak of light shone through the cave and you rushed to place your hand on the stone. You had a pep in your step and he could hear a breath of laughter escape past your lips, it made his stomach queasy.

You used all your strength to move the rock blocking the entrance, quite a flimsy cover-up for someone accused of a great crime but you hadn’t got caught yet he supposed.

He quietly hissed at the bright sun, harsh on his eyes after the dim cave. But he was quick to follow you once you started moving. The two of you were on top of a mountain, overlooking the vast expanse of Liyue and beyond. The sun cradling your form. He saw you smile and looked back at him.

His limbs loosened, he knew what was to occur next and he couldn’t help but feel relieved. He’d finally be free. Or at least he hoped.

You grabbed his hand, softly, and he closed his eyes.

“Xiao?” Your grip on his hand softened, you were looking at him, “Do you like the view?”

He opened his eyes and gazed out at the waves of Liyue. The waves of people that hated you, that probably now hated him.

He nodded, he fished for his voice but found none. He opted to stay quiet.

You hummed, a small, nervous, scared(?) smile on your face, “I’m glad. This is where I’ve watched over Teyvat since I’ve gotten here. I wanted-” You choked on the beginnings of tears in your throat, “I wanted to show everyone how pretty it was,” The grip on his hand, “But nobody wanted to follow me. But, now I have you!” You grinned up at him, ignoring the beautiful lands below you, “You’re the first person I’ve shown this to, because you’re the first person that didn’t try to kill me. Or, well, stopped trying to kill me I guess.” There was no amusement in your little laugh.

Xiao felt his soul cry, years of karma may have abated in your presence but guilt still ate at his heart.

Your hands shook as you reached out for him, “Can I,” You sniffled pathetically, “Can I have a hug?”

Xiao frowned but obliged, holding you close.

You weren’t going to kill him, but that didn’t lessen the unease in his heart. How utterly upsetting the sight of you, the all-powerful, seeking love and refuge in the vigilant yaksha’s arms. Arms that couldn’t even love their owner.

He silently swore another oath to you, one he never thought would be necessary.

To make the whole of Teyvat love you once again. Whether it was through peaceful or violent means didn’t matter to him. More blood on his hands and conscience was inconsequential if it was to wipe your tears permanently.

Giving Genshin Men Headpats!

Characters: Albedo, Childe, Scaramouche

Words: i lost count >:)

Warnings: Nothing just fluff <3

♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥ 　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥

Albedo:

I bet he gives Klee headpats

Now if YOU give HIM headpats 

Windows.exe stopped working

Confusion 

He associates headpats as something you get when you have done well

Overworks himself so that you notice him

He tries so hard

Please tell him good job

Headpats + praise for the wombo combo

Carrying a bag of sweets and homemade cake, you make your way to dragonspine. You really need to catch a break before others start chasing for your attention and blessings again. As you step into Dragonspine, you feel how the snowflakes fall on your face. You hurry to the alchemist's lab before it gets dark. Carefully jumping over the broken bridge you see Albedo working in his lab. 

“Albedo!” you shout.

“Your Grace, what are you doing here? Please, take a seat you must be exhausted” Albedo pulls out a chair for you.

“Here for you! I know you really like sweets so I brought some I thought you might enjoy. It's not much but please give me feedback on which ones you don't like.” 

“Thank you, your Grace, for being so caring.” Albedo murmurs.

“Well you have been working really hard and not giving yourself a break. Good job but please take a break.”

Giving him the bag of sweets you walk over to the table behind him. It's pretty messy and looks like he was taking a lot of notes about his experiment. Turning your head you look at Albedo with a frown. He must be so exhausted the bags under his eyes are more prominent and his hair is messier than usual. You gently pat his head as he relaxes under your touch. Hearing his sigh of relief you make him sit on a stool. Slowly you undo his braid and begin running your fingers through his hair. Taking care of Albedo is now one of your best memories.

Childe:

This menace 

Puppy who runs after you

Brags about how his God favours him 

Lets you ruffle his hair

Tells his whole family and neighbourhood

“Thank you for cooking for me today, Ajax. I really appreciate it.” You look up and smile at him.

The cold weather really took a toll on you. You sit down on your couch and watch the snow fall while being wrapped up in thick blankets he brought over. Who knew that he could be so… caring. 

“It's an honour taking care of your Grace. I used to take care of my sick siblings all the time.” he chuckles.

“Perfectly trained for such situations. A malewife indeed.”

“If I'm such a malewife why don't you wife me up then?” Ajax smirks.

“Very funny, Ajax. Maybe if that soup would cook faster I would consider it.” You tease.

Ajax hurries up preparing the soup and serves you a bowl. He is really a good cook. This soup just tasted like home. You feel a weight dip next to you and look up from your soup. Maintaining eye contact with him for a while before he breaks the silence with a laugh.

“Seems like you enjoy my cooking. I'm glad. I could cook for you every day if you marry me.”

You pat his head and ruffle his hair slightly. Marriage doesn't sound bad but right now it's not the right time.

“I will keep that offer in mind. Your cooking is truly amazing. Good boy!” You tease him.

“Well then more praise and affection for me if I did such a good job!” He teases back.

“That will cost you one more bowl of soup!” You laugh.

“I can't wait to show off to Scara. He's going to be so furious!” He beams.

Scaramouche:

Acts like it doesn't bother him

Blushes like crazy

Pls tease him about it

Mans exploded

If anyone saw that rip

You were bored out of your mind. There was nothing to do and you didn't feel like doing your duties either. So what does one do with their free time? Bully Scaramouche of course. His reactions are hilarious and he can't do anything about it. You make our way down the hall searching for a specific indigo haired man. Finally spotting him you run to him.

“Scaaaraaaaaa!” You scream down the halls.

He quickly whips his head around at the screeching sound leaving you. Breathing in he mentally prepares himself for your relentless teasing and bullying. He sighs and greets you.

“What are you up to? I will tag along! Can I try out your hat? I can be you for a day!” 

Bombarding him with so many questions is not the smartest thing to do but you still do it out of fun. You grab his hand and give him an excited look.

“Your Grace, are you perhaps bored?” he questions.

“Maybe. Maybe not. Mouche is here with me so I can do things like this!”

“What…things?” looking worriedly at you.

You pinch and squeeze his face, especially his soft cheeks! Squishing his face and leaving his skin red due to your so called affection. You continue to pat and play with his hair while laughing at his reactions. He is so red! You should probably watch your back the next few days because he will try and get back at you.

This was truly a sight to behold. One of the remaining Yakshas, before you, on his knees, begging for forgiveness. Just moments before he was trying to slaughter you with his spear that YOU worked so hard on to obtain. You could only look down at him silently. 

“Your Grace, I am truly sorry. Forgive me, Your Grace”, he pleaded.

You gently patted him on the head and the moment you do, he bursts into tears. Your warm touch and your presence made all his karmic debt disappear. His cries reach your ears and you lift his chin up to look him in the eyes. Fear-stricken glassy eyes meet your warm and caring ones. You sigh, how could you ever forget his angry expression at you. Dark eyes filled with hatred you have never seen.

“...Your Grace ”, Xiao whispers," Whatever punishment you choose for me, I will accept it. A weapon should never disobey their master.”

You frown at his words. A weapon? How could he describe himself like that in such a degrading way? You put so much love in building him, giving him the best artifacts and cooking him his favorite dish. You press your forehead against his and turn around to leave. Giving Xiao one last look, you smile at him.

“I will come back to you when I made up my mind. I will not punish you for your actions so do not worry about that”, you laugh, cutting your finger and smearing the golden blood on his cheek. “I hope this proves that I will keep my promise.”

Xiao is still sitting frozen on the ground, not daring to speak. His divine God smeared their holy blood on his cheek. As a promise. How could they possibly show mercy to him? Before realizing, you disappear into the night, leaving small particles of stars behind.
