prompt: corn maze
haikyuu!! masterlist || hollysm event
Tumblr media
“Let’s face it: We’re lost.”
Flicking the leaf blade of a corn plant that looked exactly like every other plant around, you huffed in frustration. The falling night made it even harder to discern whether it was the same stone you had come by for the nth time already or a new one. By now you were sure, you and your boyfriend were the last idiots wandering through this corn maze.
“I’d like to remind you that this was your idea, by the way,” you grumbled, not actually all that mad. 
“And you were the one who said ‘Oh, let’s do something cute and coupley this Halloween!’, if I may remind you,” Suna retorted, throwing pieces of corn at you. He seemed far less concerned than you, as calm and collected as ever. “Plus, you agreed rather enthusiastically when I brought it up.”
“Well that was before we’ve been walking in circles for hours. It’s gonna get cold soon, too,” you defended yourself. To emphasise your point, you rubbed your hands up and down your arms.
“Here.” Suna was already shrugging off his own jacket and draping it around you, fastening it in the front. Immediately, his warmth still radiating from the material made you feel better and you sighed contently. Your boyfriend had the audacity to laugh at you, pulling a leaf out of your hair. “How lucky you are to have a boyfriend who dresses warm enough for both of you.”
“Yes yes, you’re the best or whatever,” you rolled your eyes, then sidled up to him and slipped your hand into his calloused one, blatantly ignoring his amused snort. “About getting out of here though, if you’re now also packing something like a map–”
“Yeah no, I’m not,” your boyfriend shattered your hopes. Holding up his phone to show the endlessly loading map, he added. “I also don’t have reception.”
“I can’t believe it, we’re going to die in a corn maze. That’s not how I wanted to go out,” you joked. Turning both ways again, you tried to recall if you had seen this place before. “But seriously, what are we going to do? Even you are losing in height to a stupid plant… Try jumping though?”
“Absolutely not,” Suna deadpanned. He started moving again, tugging you along. “You know, our high school volleyball team used to do this, too. Do you know how easy it is to get lost in a maze when you have the twins with you?”
“I can imagine,” you snorted, the thought of Atsumu and Osamu bickering endlessly the entire way cheering you up. “I’m sure Kita handled it though.”
“Yeah, his sense of direction is freakish,” the middle blocker said. Taking another right, you followed him. “I’m still pretty sure he’s a robot or something.”
“Can’t blame you, someone should study him,” you agreed. All the times you had met the former captain you had failed to point out a single flaw, so you supported that theory whole-heartedly. “But I don’t think anyone else could’ve handled that team. You guys always had a knack for causing trouble.”
“Hey now, don’t lump me in with the rest of them,” Suna purposefully tugged at your intertwined hands, so you’d stumble right into him, disproving the point he was trying to make. “I never was a troublemaker.”
“‘Course not. You only filmed all of it,” you shook your head at him in amusement. By now you had figured out his strategy. You had been sticking to the right side of the maze this entire time and in the distance you saw the lights of the maze’s end. 
“See, that wasn’t so hard. No need to write out your testimony,” Suna one-sidedly grinned at you. 
“If it was so easy, why didn’t you just do it sooner?” You stared back, unimpressed.
“Where would be the fun in that, babe?” By now his smirk had widened and he wrapped a strong arm around your middle to pull you flush with his chest and you let him. “Anyway, don’t you think I deserve some kind of reward for saving you from dying in a corn maze?”
“You are the worst, Suna Rintarou,” you laughed but still took his face between your hands and pressed a sweet kiss to his cheek, lingering a little longer than necessary. “There, happy now?”
“Hmmm, is that really all I get? I mean we’re talking about your life here…” Sharp olive eyes were looking at you expectantly and your heart, the traitor, melted at the sight.
“How corny,” you mused before leaning in and connecting your lips.

pairing: marius von hagen x gn! reader
prompt: gift shopping + movie night
miscellaneous masterlist || hollysm event
Tumblr media
When you came home from your gift shopping trip, you were exhausted, the bags you were holding seemingly weighing a ton. Marius next to you, however, looked as lively as life itself, the grin on his face not able to possibly be any bigger.
Of course, the shopping trip had been his idea but you had easily agreed, considering the approaching holidays and your lack of presents. Only when you had arrived in the city, though, did you remember something integral: Marius’s willingness to buy just about anything your eyes landed on for even a second.
“I still think the gem drop necklace would’ve suited you well,” the man next to you said, setting down his bags before taking the ones you were holding. Initially, he had offered to carry yours too but you wanted to do at least that much yourself. 
“And I’ll remind you again, I already have a similar one,” you sighed affectionately. “One that you bought for me, actually.”
“So?” He shrugged his shoulders way too casually when your eyes had nearly bulged out of your head when you saw the price tag. Cupping your cheek, his amethyst eyes were softer with love than the pads of his fingers felt against your skin. “You should have options to choose from, so don’t hesitate to be a little greedy. For you, there should only be the best.”
Smiling up at him equally as fond, you placed your hand over his, slowly stroking over his slender fingers with one of yours before humming pensively. “But I already have you, how could there be anything better than that?”
Your squeal echoed around the house followed by your giggles as Marius swooped you up into his arms, spinning you around before setting off towards the living room. Apparently, Vincent had been working hard as you were gone, because the house was tastefully decorated with boughs of holly, fairy lights and sparkling ornaments. 
“You can’t just say something like that and expect me to ever let you go again,” Marius chuckled as both of you plopped down on the comfortable couch. The festivities were still a while off but he looked like a child on Christmas already. “So, did you already think about what you want to watch today?”
“Hm, it’s a tough call,” you laughed, thinking about your options of Christmas movies. “Do you want to watch the obligatory story of a high-strung business woman falling for the guy moving to the city and opening her eyes to the beauty of Christmas? Or rather one about a rich prick falling head over heels for a woman that’s made out to be very plain but is actually super attractive?”
Marius tapped his chin in mock contemplation for a second, his lips quirking up into a grin at your sarcasm. “Let’s go with the first one. I already know all about rich pricks falling for stunningly beautiful people.”
At the end of his sentence he tapped your nose affectionately and your cheeks heated up consequently. Then you regained your composure and playfully jabbed your finger into his chest. “Marius von Hagen, you’re not a prick. You’re very sweet and attentive.”
“Who said I was talking about myself?” He laughed as you muttered a ‘Maybe you are a bit of a prick’ under your breath, then wrapped his arms around your middle tighter to subsequently bring you closer. “Well, you are the most gorgeous person I’ve ever met, both inside and out, so maybe it’s true. I definitely think you changed me for the better.”
From up close you could study him without trouble as your hands framed his perfect face the same way your knees bracketed his hips against the cushions. Caressing your thumbs over his cheekbones, you felt his arms unwind from you so he could settle his ringed hands on your waist. 
Then, you leaned forward until your lips brushed his soft ones. The tips of his midnight blue hair tickled your skin as you deepened the kiss and Marius tugged you impossibly closer. One of your hands wandered to the back of his head to grasp at the soft locks there and he groaned breathlessly. There was no rush from either of you, your slow and sensual movements completely in sync as your hearts beat in unison against your rib cages. 
When you parted for the sake of breathing, Marius’s violet eyes sparkled as if you just hung the entirety of the stars in the night sky. Holding his gaze, one of his fingers mapping out the path from your jaw down to your collarbones, was like looking straight into the universe.
“What’s this? Can’t resist my charm any longer, darling?” You could see right through his cocky exterior, your boyfriend betrayed by the redness blooming across the tip of his ears, making his silver studs stand out even more.
“Mhm…” Humming confirmentally, the blush dusted his cheeks under the pads of your fingers as well. No matter how much he teased you, he was never prepared for you to reciprocate and turn his game onto him. “I’m just being a little greedy.”
“Ah, seriously…” Marius buried his head in the crook of your neck, making you giggle. But just when the vibrations travelled against his lips, he closed them around the skin there to leave his mark on you. “The things you do to me…I know I said you changed me for the better, but in one aspect I’ve become much worse since meeting you.
“When it comes to you, I’ve grown much greedier than ever before. So, won’t you give me every piece of you? I’ll gladly give you all of me in return.”

pairing: jamil x gn! reader
prompt: snowball fight
twisted wonderland masterlist || hollysm event
Tumblr media
The temperature difference between Scarabia dorm and the school campus should be illegal, in your opinion. To go from dry heat to below freezing point in a matter of seconds could not be good for you. You thought there were fairies here to keep this from happening, so you wouldn't be surprised if any second your beloved and most generous headmaster would pop up and ask you to fix his problems. Time to savour what was left of your peace.
“Make sure you don’t slip,” Jamil spoke next to you, turning to you to check if your scarf was tightly wrapped. Then he extended a hand towards you. “Here, you can hold onto me.”
“So that both of us fall on our asses? Sure,” you laughed, happily intertwining your gloved hands with his. “We could also just turn back and I spent the night over at Scarabia. Grim can fend for himself for a day.”
“As much as I’d like to say yes, I don’t think Kalim can fend for himself for that long,” Jamil sighed. You squeezed his hand reassuringly as your feet crunched over the freshly fallen snow, which made the campus look like a winter wonderland. Except for Ramshackle. Ramshackle somehow appeared even more desolated than the rest of the year.
“I’d put up with him if it means I can spend more time with you,” you said only for Jamil to tug you a little closer.
“No, I want to spend time with you when it’s just the two of us.” The words left his lips before he could think them over, which was very uncharacteristic for him. But he really didn’t want to share you with anyone, like he always had to with everything else he had before. “Ah sorry… That came out a little forcefully.”
“I don’t mind, it’s nice to see you a little selfish from time to time. Especially when it’s with me,” you winked at him. He was about to respond when you stopped and pointed and pointed at his shoes. “Hey, your lace came undone.”
“Huh? Oh, you’re right.” While Jamil bent down to fix it, you crouched down as well, just outside his field of vision. By the time he rose to his feet again, you had already pressed the snow between your hands into a ball. Just as anticipated he turned around to look for you, seeing the snow in your hands. “What the-”
Before he could finish his question, the snowball had already hit him square in the face.
“Jamil, you should have seen your face.” You had a hard time standing, your knees buckling as you curled up with laughter. Then you shrieked as a heap of snow landed in the crook of your neck, the magic pen in your boyfriend’s hand glowing.
“Well, now we match,” he grinned, lifting his hand again to send another burst of snow at you but this time you were prepared and dodged just in the nick of time. 
“Oh, I’m sorry,” you smirked back, already forming another snowball, “I didn’t know I was going up against a coward. Can’t even throw a bit of snow without magic?”
“I’ll make you eat those words,” Jamil took up your challenge as he pocketed his pen.
Not so surprisingly, Jamil turned out to be fierce competition even without magic, the muscles in his arms apparently not just for show. Unlike normally, he also had no reason to hold back against you to preserve his image, so you hid between tree after tree to shield yourself, firing back just as vigorously. The way leading up to your dorm filled with your child-like laughter and you would freeze this moment in time if you could, exhilarated to see this side of your usually serious boyfriend.
As you rested your back against the cold bark to catch your breath, you planned your next attack, listening to his sounds. When it was eerily quiet, you spied around the tree trunk only to see him nowhere.
A chill ran down the back of your spine. Literally. There was a bout of laughter behind you at your shriek, Jamil having snuck up behind you and bathed your neck in another snowy assault. 
“Give up yet?” He grinned at you, taking a step towards you.
“No, never,” you stubbornly responded, only for your world to shift when you stepped on a frozen root hiding under the snow.
You braced yourself for a painful fall which never came. Instead, you landed somewhat softly on a sturdy chest, your hands instinctively having grabbed the front of Jamil’s coat. Your knight in shining armour, who’d quickly spun you around to shield you, groaned a little under you as he adjusted the way he was lying.
“Oh Great Seven, Jamil, are you okay?” You fretted, pushing yourself up a little to push his bangs from his eyes and check the back of his head for a sign of an injury. “Why did you do that? You could’ve gotten seriously hurt!”
“So could’ve you,” Jamil chuckled a little breathlessly. His grey eyes showed no sign of pain, only fondness, as he looked up at you and you became aware of his arm draped over your waist. “And unlike me, you can’t cushion your fall with magic. I’m just making good on my promise to protect you, even if it’s from your own clumsiness.”
“How can you be so sweet and so infuriating at the same time?” Without any actual malice, you huffed at his words. Even laying in the snow like this, Jamil looked gorgeous with his dark hair splayed out around him in the white snow, glimmering stars caught in the strands and his breath forming little clouds that hung between you before dissipating. “Still, thank you for saving me.”
You pressed a quick kiss to the cold tip of his nose, relishing in the way his eyes widened for a second before they avoided your gaze, only to return to you at the sound of your laughter. He mumbled something akin to ‘Don’t mention it’ and the warmth curling around your heart was almost enough to warm your entire body.
Almost.
“Perhaps, I should stay in Scarabia after all to dry off,” you chuckled sheepishly as you detangled your limbs from his and pulled him to his feet with you. Patting some of the snow from his back, you let him adjust your scarf again. “No other reason, of course.”
“It might be for the better. Objectively speaking, obviously. Catching a cold would do neither of us any good, after all,” Jamil corroborated your theory, with a pensive face. “The tea and warming food would be far more beneficial than the withered walls of Ramshackle.”
Grinning, you intertwined your hands once more as you headed back the way you came, thanking the snow silently.

pairing: barbatos x gn! reader
prompt: baking
obey me! masterlist || hollysm event
Tumblr media
“I am most grateful for your assistance today, my dear,” Barbatos said as he led you down the castle halls towards the kitchen. His hand splayed on the small of your back emanated a pleasant warmth even through his gloves and your clothes. “After all, I am not familiar with the recipe you have given me.”
A few hours ago, your demon had texted you, asking if there was something you craved from back home. Reason being, Diavolo expressed the wish to taste some Human Realm baking and Barbatos of course lived to serve. Naturally, there was someone’s opinion he valued as much as that of the Young Master.
“I hardly think you actually need my assistance though,” you chuckled. After much contemplation you had settled on something simple but perfect for the dropping temperatures outside. “If I can make cinnamon rolls without assistance, it’ll be a cake walk for you. I’m actually afraid they’re so far below your league you’ll feel offended.”
“Oh nonsense,” Barbatos shushed you gently as he prepared the ingredients you had listed for him. Turning to you, he gently brushed over your brow with his thumb, smoothing out the frown on your face. “I find that the simplest recipes yield the best result at times. Besides, it would be nice to have something quick to resort to in a pinch.”
“Alright then,” you agreed, pulling on the apron Barbatos had handed you. “I can hardly wait to eat your baking again, Barbs.”
“You know you must only say the word and I will gladly make whatever your heart desires. And do not use the excuse of ‘not wanting to burden’ me, love. You could never burden me.” At his smile, you turned to check if the oven was already preheating or if it was you that was radiating heat. “Now then, please observe carefully and correct me if needed.”
It was not needed. 
Barbatos had combined all ingredients as you instructed him quicker than you had seen before and in no time the dough was already sitting under a towel to rise. As he wiped down the counter, which wasn’t dirtied at all, you leaned back and watched the muscles flex and relax under his shirt. 
“How peculiar,” Barbtos remarked with a teasing tone, giving you a smile over his shoulder. “I do not recall staring a hole into my back being part of the recipe.”
“It’s the most important step though,” you said without hesitation. Normally, while he was working, Barbatos was the epitome of propriety but with only the two of you around, he too could let the mask slip a little. And he did so when he caged you against the counter.
“Suddenly I am reminded of something which should help shorten the time the dough needs to sit,” he said as his head dipped down so your noses nearly touched. Looking up to see bright specks of verdure focused solely on you, your breath hitched.
“Is there really something that can shorten time?” You exhaled airily, your words fanning over his cheeks as your gaze shifted to his lips. “That sounds impossible.”
“I am positive,” Barbatos whispered before he closed the gap between the two of you in one smooth motion. One of his hands came to hold your chin between his thumb and index finger and he pecked the corner of your mouth when he let you go again.
“Perhaps you are right,” you mumbled, then leaned in again, pulling him in by his apron.
It felt like hardly any time had passed until Barbatos was back to rolling out the dough, spreading the cinnamon over it and cutting the roll into pieces. While he looked like nothing happened at all, his clothes back in place and composure neutral, you could still feel your lips tingle as you tried to straighten out your apron in vain.
By the time the oven beeped your treacherous heart had calmed down again despite Barbatos stealing knowing glances at you the entire time. You were happy when you could inspect the mouth watering cinnamon rolls and blame the heat of your cheeks onto the freshly baked goods.
“They smell delicious, honey. And I bet they taste even better,” you swooned, heart eyes directed at both the tray and the demon responsible. “See, I told you, you could handle it without me.”
“I’d beg to differ, darling,” he smiled at you as he plated a roll and sat it down in front of you. “After all, who else could taste test my creation but you?”
You grinned at him before taking a bite out of the warm pastry. Immediately, the cinnamon-y flavour burst across your tongue as the dough practically melted in your mouth. Closing your eyes in satisfaction, you savoured the treat as you hummed in contentment.
“I take it they are to your liking?” The knowing glint in his eyes told you you needn’t respond for him to know the truth but you did anyway.
“I don’t think I ever had cinnamon rolls this good. They taste fan-ta-stic-,” you sighed dreamily, imagining snuggling up on the couch with a hot drink to pair them with as you conveyed your endorsement by pressing a kiss to both his cheeks and then his forehead between syllables. “You should try them too.”
“Perhaps I shall,” Barabtos mused and then his mouth was on yours, tasting the flavour lingering on your lips. You let out a surprised noise and the demon took the chance to deepen the kiss, groaning against you.
“You’re right, the taste is divine. It might be my favourite yet.”

pairing: childe x gn! reader
prompt: collecting chestnuts + seasonal decorations
genshin impact masterlist || hollysm event
Tumblr media
“Here, let me take that for you,” Childe beamed as he motioned for one of the bags you were carrying. “Can’t have my pretty baby strain themselves with this.”
The leaves were crunching underneath your soles as you headed down the earthy forest path, several bags filled with sweet chestnuts swinging between you. You breathed in the autumn air, unlike in the city, clear and crisp, as you chuckled at your enthusiastic boyfriend. He was the reason the two of you were this loaded anyway. There was no doubt in your mind he’d have collected at least twice as many chestnuts if you had brought more bags.
“It’s fine, Ajax. I’ve carried these just fine this entire time,” you said, glancing at the biggest bags already dangling in his grasp. The trees started to thin in their numbers, indicating you’d reach the edge of the forest soon. “I can handle it.”
“Are you sure? I don’t mind carrying them,” he cocked his head to the side. When you nodded, he visibly deflated, his lips turning downwards into a pout. “Fine…”
Seriously, he could be adorably stupid at times.
“Well, now that you mention it…” You trailed off in faux contemplation, rolling your shoulders a little to sell the act. Immediately, Childe perked up, his entire being straightening up in attention. It was the same reaction he had when you had started collecting and you wondered where he took the energy from. “My arm has been getting kinda tired–”
“I got you!” Before you could so much as blink, he had swooped one of the bags from your grip and added it to his as if it weighed nothing. The pout had been replaced by an excited grin. “Do you want me to take that one too? It’s no problem!”
“No no, I have to pull some weight around here too,” you laughed at his change of demeanour and decided to encourage him a little more. “That you can just carry them like it’s nothing… My boyfriend’s just so strong, isn’t he?”
“Of course I am!” You might as well have hung the stars in the sky with how he was looking at you. 
“Come on, let’s get these home,” you chuckled, thoroughly amused by his antics. “I still want to decorate the house today.”
After unloading the chestnuts from the car and sorting through them to filter out the bad ones, you set them aside to prepare later. Then, you fished the boxes full of autumn decoration out of storage, where they had sat since last year. 
“Honey, come help me with these,” you huffed as you tried not to face-plant by peering around the decorations sticking out. Naturally with Childe’s help, you were surrounded by crates in no time. “Okay, just put up whatever you think looks good.”
With that you got to work, arranging small porcelain pumpkins together with dried maple leaves and horse chestnuts. Small ghosts started to take their place on shelves and an orange table runner replaced the previous one. When the sun started to set and you had just finished straightening out the autumnal wreath at the front door, Childe called you over.
“Where do you want this thing to go?” Holding up a long, green garland with red berries, he twisted around to check for anywhere to hang it. You snorted as you stepped around the boxes on the floor and gently took the decoration from him.
“I think it’s a bit too early to be putting up holly leaves, it’s not even close to winter yet.” Setting it back down in a crate you took a moment to look around. Luckily, there weren’t any other contrasting decor elements around, and you nodded to yourself. It could use a little bit of a finishing touch but it was far from bad. “Nice job, though. It looks great.”
“Really?” Childe beamed. Then, faster than you could react, he wrapped his arms around your middle, picked you up and spun you around before falling backwards onto the couch with you on top of him. “Great, means I finally get to have you all to myself.”
“Ah but I still wanted to boil and peel the chestnuts–”
“Nope, you’re mine now,” your boyfriend grinned mischievously as he rolled the two of you over and firmly planted his head on your chest, his arms still securely caging you in. The natural warmth radiating from him enveloped you like a blanket and his weight comfortably pressed down on you.
Knowing you would not get away from him any time soon, you resigned yourself to your fate, sighing affectionately as you flicked the TV on before settling your hand in his hair and playing with the ginger strands.
“Well, I don’t really mind the sound of that.”

prompt: coffee date
tokyo revengers masterlist || hollysm event
Tumblr media
“Looks like it’s gonna rain today,” you thought out loud, holding one of your hands out. “This better be worth it.”
“You know Koko, his tastes are as refined as they get,” Inui playfully bumped your shoulder as he directed you to the location your boyfriend had sent you. “This café is no doubt well worth it.”
“You’re probably right,” you agreed, walking closer to him to dodge a bike. “Besides, he’s been wanting to go forever, so it’s long overdue.”
“We would’ve come here earlier if he hadn’t been so much trouble when telling us,” Inui laughed, reminding you how the black-haired man had ‘discreetly’ dropped hints he wanted come here without outright saying it. “He even tried to play it off as you wanting to go and him just tagging along.”
“For someone as intelligent as him, he can be extraordinarily thick at times,” you said affectionately. Looking to your right you saw Inui already looking at you, squeezing your hand when you caught his bright gaze. “Don’t tell him I said that though.”
Grinning at you as he made a motion of zipping his mouth shut, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Don’t worry, love, my lips are sealed.”
When the café came into view, you spotted a dark-clad figure already standing in front of it, impatiently checking his watch as his breath formed little clouds as he sighed. Movement caught his attention from the corner of his sharp eye and Koko turned to you.
“Finally, you were almost late for our reservation, you know,” he nagged but still relented when you tugged him into a hug before Inui did the same. Then, he ushered you inside, away from the cold temperatures.
“We know,” you answered nonchalantly. “Keyword being almost.”
“It wouldn’t hurt you to admit you were worried about us and not the reservation, you know,” Inui picked up where you left off. 
“You…!” Koko gritted his teeth but didn’t deny it. Instead, he helped Inui out of his coat and pulled the chair out for you when you got to your designated spot, leaving your blond boyfriend and you to exchange knowing looks.
“You picked a nice table,” you commented as you studied the menu you were handed. As expected of Koko, their selection was fancy to say the least. “In a corner right by the window, I like it.”
“Obviously I know what you like. Isn’t that a given?” Despite saying it as if it was self-evident, you didn’t miss the way his ears pinked as he turned back towards the menu in front of him. “Speaking of-”
“You’re thinking about ordering one of their seasonal drinks, aren’t you?” Inui smiled at the dark-haired man across from him. “Don’t look so shocked. Of course I know what you like.”
“How about we all order something different to eat too?” You proposed as your gaze flitted over the card, torn between all the delicious sounding pastries. “We can just share them between us.”
Both of them agreed and Koko signalled for a waiter you were ready to order. It didn’t take long for your order to arrive and you halted your conversation to squeeze all the plates on your table. It was quiet for a moment as everyone took a sip of their drinks, the warmth spreading through your body in a pleasant contrast to the cold outside.
“Ah, this is nice,” you hummed as you dug your fork into the treat sitting in front of you. When Koko asked if you were talking about the food, you shook your head. “I mean, sure, that’s amazing too. But I was about all of us sitting together like this with all the time in the world to spend. It doesn’t happen too often that all of us can go out together.”
“Yeah, everyone is so busy with their own life,” Inui mused around a forkful of cake. “Makes moments like these even more special, though.”
Koko’s eyes were cast down on his pistachio tart, his fork scraping along the surface. “...I’m sorry I’m always working so much. I know I’m not home as often as I should be.”
You threw Inui an alarmed look, both of you not meaning to imply anything remotely in that direction. Quickly, you sat down your fork and grasped Koko’s free hand in both of yours, his eyes widening as he looked from your touch to your face which held nothing but love for him.
“Oh, Hajime, that’s not what we were saying at all. Please don’t think things like that,” you soothed, fingers running over his smooth skin. “You do so much for us already and you show us how much you care with how thoughtful you are.”
“They’re right, you know,” Inui backed you up. “You were the one who organised this date, weren’t you? I know it’s hard, but please don’t worry and don’t get into your own head so much about this, we love you no matter where you are.”
“We’d be pretty bad partners if we only loved you while you were right next to us.”
“That’s true.”
“You guys…” Koko dabbed at his immaculate eyeliner. “I… Thank you.”
“Here, try some of this,” Inui cut a piece off his cake. “You’ll like the cinnamon flavour.”
“I know what this calls for… a movie night!” You exclaimed before pointing your fork at Koko. “And you, mister, are getting extra cuddles, no excuses allowed.”
“I guess I have no choice then,” he rolled his eyes but they softened as he smiled, intertwining his fingers loosely with yours. Returning his smile equally as fond, your eyes wandered outside the window.
“Look, guys! It’s snowing!”

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well ♡
In just a few more hours, I will officially start my 3k milestone event featuring a variety of different characters you know and love. And while I know, not every fandom is everyone’s cup of tea, at least skimming through each day might be worthwhile. After all, pieces to a greater puzzle might be hiding in plain sight~
I’ll schedule each post for 5pm CET on their respective days and pray to the stars above that tumblr doesn’t eat them (again). Still, if you do not want to risk missing a single post right as it drops, I’ll gladly make a separate tag list for the event (the usual taglist will remain active as well).
Table of Contents:
Sunday, November 5th - Prologue
Monday, November 6th - Childe [GI]
Tuesday, November 7th - Barbatos [OM!]
Wednesday, November 8th - Suna [HQ]
Thursday, November 9th - Koko & Inui [TR]
Friday, November 10th - Jamil [TWST]
Saturday, November 11th - Marius [TOT]
Sunday, November 12th - Epilogue
Thank you all so much again for interacting with me and my blog and enjoying my writing. When I started posting almost two years ago, I would never have dreamed this many people would read my pieces and then come back for more!! ♡
So, I hope you have fun with this seasonal event and the little reward I prepared for all those who manage to piece together all the clues I left~
Sincerely, Your Travelling Witch,
Holly
P.S: So sorry to all my folks in the southern hemisphere, I hope you’ll still enjoy a little bit of autum and winter magic~

pairing: childe x gn!reader
prompt: collecting chestnuts + seasonal decorations
genshin impact masterlist || hollysm event

“Here, let me take that for you,” Childe beamed as he motioned for one of the bags you were carrying. “Can’t have my pretty baby strain themselves with this.”
The leaves were crunching underneath your soles as you headed down the earthy forest path, several bags filled with sweet chestnuts swinging between you. You breathed in the autumn air, unlike in the city, clear and crisp, as you chuckled at your enthusiastic boyfriend. He was the reason the two of you were this loaded anyway. There was no doubt in your mind he’d have collected at least twice as many chestnuts if you had brought more bags.
“It’s fine, Ajax. I’ve carried these just fine this entire time,” you said, glancing at the biggest bags already dangling in his grasp. The trees started to thin in their numbers, indicating you’d reach the edge of the forest soon. “I can handle it.”
“Are you sure? I don’t mind carrying them,” he cocked his head to the side. When you nodded, he visibly deflated, his lips turning downwards into a pout. “Fine…”
Seriously, he could be adorably stupid at times.
“Well, now that you mention it…” You trailed off in faux contemplation, rolling your shoulders a little to sell the act. Immediately, Childe perked up, his entire being straightening up in attention. It was the same reaction he had when you had started collecting and you wondered where he took the energy from. “My arm has been getting kinda tired–”
“I got you!” Before you could so much as blink, he had swooped one of the bags from your grip and added it to his as if it weighed nothing. The pout had been replaced by an excited grin. “Do you want me to take that one too? It’s no problem!”
“No no, I have to pull some weight around here too,” you laughed at his change of demeanour and decided to encourage him a little more. “That you can just carry them like it’s nothing… My boyfriend’s just so strong, isn’t he?”
“Of course I am!” You might as well have hung the stars in the sky with how he was looking at you. 
“Come on, let’s get these home,” you chuckled, thoroughly amused by his antics. “I still want to decorate the house today.”
After unloading the chestnuts from the car and sorting through them to filter out the bad ones, you set them aside to prepare later. Then, you fished the boxes full of autumn decoration out of storage, where they had sat since last year. 
“Honey, come help me with these,” you huffed as you tried not to face-plant by peering around the decorations sticking out. Naturally with Childe’s help, you were surrounded by crates in no time. “Okay, just put up whatever you think looks good.”
With that you got to work, arranging small porcelain pumpkins together with dried maple leaves and horse chestnuts. Small ghosts started to take their place on shelves and an orange table runner replaced the previous one. When the sun started to set and you had just finished straightening out the autumnal wreath at the front door, Childe called you over.
“Where do you want this thing to go?” Holding up a long, green garland with red berries, he twisted around to check for anywhere to hang it. You snorted as you stepped around the boxes on the floor and gently took the decoration from him.
“I think it’s a bit too early to be putting up holly leaves, it’s not even close to winter yet.” Setting it back down in a crate you took a moment to look around. Luckily, there weren’t any other contrasting decor elements around, and you nodded to yourself. It could use a little bit of a finishing touch but it was far from bad. “Nice job, though. It looks great.”
“Really?” Childe beamed. Then, faster than you could react, he wrapped his arms around your middle, picked you up and spun you around before falling backwards onto the couch with you on top of him. “Great, means I finally get to have you all to myself.”
“Ah but I still wanted to boil and peel the chestnuts–”
“Nope, you’re mine now,” your boyfriend grinned mischievously as he rolled the two of you over and firmly planted his head on your chest, his arms still securely caging you in. The natural warmth radiating from him enveloped you like a blanket and his weight comfortably pressed down on you.
Knowing you would not get away from him any time soon, you resigned yourself to your fate, sighing affectionately as you flicked the TV on before settling your hand in his hair and playing with the ginger strands.
“Well, I don’t really mind the sound of that.”

𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐦: 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

“So, did you find what you were looking for?” The witch asks you as you step through the door to her shop a week later. There’s a knowing twinkle in her eyes as she studies you. “By now you should have all the pieces you need to read that map of yours. Remember to include every minute detail and leave no gaps~”
You think back to all the places you had visited over the last week. Initially, you only swung by because of boredom, because you wanted to escape your everyday life, but you ended up meeting all sorts of new people because of the rolled up parchment in your hand. At the memory of your journey the map emanates a pleasant warmth. 
One question burns on your tongue though. “Holly, why do you know so much about this map? You seem to know all about the needed clues despite saying not many do. Actually, you said only a handful of people including its creator can read it. Surely someone as curious as you would try and solve this as soon as they get their hands on it… Unless…”
In response she only smirks at you, eyes glinting in amusement behind her thin frames. “You came here looking for something, though you knew it not, and I gave you something. Does anything else matter?”
Gently she guides you to the door of the shop.
“Well then, good luck with your find. You must tell me all about it when our paths cross again. I heard turning to the stars and making a wish helps.” The witch winks, then waves you goodbye and closes the door as you turn around. Casting another glance over your shoulder, you find the place to be empty, specks of stardust dancing around the space the shop would occupy again… somewhen in the future.

You enter the familiar potion shop, the door to which had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, not looking for anything in particular. But before you knew it, you had already crossed the threshold.
Behind the counter, the witch sitting there looks up at the sound of the bell and grins when she sees you. On your way over, you inspect the assortment of magical and mystical items you couldn’t identify lining the shelves, the space in the shop much larger than it appears from the outside.
“Welcome back,” she greets you with a wink. Propping one hand on the counter, the witch studies you. “What can I help you with today? Or did you only visit because you wanted to see me?”
When you tell her you only dropped by on a whim with nothing really in mind, the witch’s eyes sparkle as she laughs. Looking onto the counter you see she was inspecting what appeared to be a dark blue piece of parchment. Occasionally, darker shades swirled across it, giving the illusion of clouds against the night sky.
“What you’re looking at is a star map,” the witch explained. “As you can probably imagine, it does more than just chart the stars. But most can’t read it.
“See,” the woman pointed to the blue swirling parchment where not a single star could be seen. “You have to piece it together first. It’s said the pieces are strewn across the universe and will link together if you collect them all. Most wouldn’t go through that trouble.”
You reach out to graze your fingers over the map and a cold chill spreads across your body before it’s replaced by pleasant warmth. Suddenly, you wonder about what lies beyond the world you know, what wonders the universe could hold for you. The witch laughs.
“Go on, take it. I have my hands full with the shop, it would just collect dust here.” Carefully, she folds the map back together, seemingly unbothered by the temperature drop. “I know it might sound daunting to travel the universe for clues. But let me assure you that all puzzles come with clues, so you’re not stumbling around blindly. Look, there’s already something stuck to the back of the map.
“Well then, are you ready to go on an adventure?”
