Since you can do MMD stuff now I have a request!
The Fontaine gals with an S/O who likes to eat ice cream with them atop somewhere high while watching the sunset! (Inspired by Kingdom Hearts)
(Genshin Impact) Navia, Furina, and Lynette eating ice cream with their S/O
I'd throw my sea salt ice cream at Xion's head.
Tumblr media
Navia prefers baked treats over cold ones, but she'll have no complaints about sharing either with her S/O!
And when it comes to their choice of their scenery, Navia absolutely loves it.
Watching the sunset with her lover at her side gets her heart racing.
Though with that being said, she only goes along if that evening is not particularly windy.
The last thing she wants is her hat flying off into the wind at that height.
Mostly because she'll go after it, which S/O would have to grab Navia and make sure she won't fall.
And with how strong she is, she's taking S/O with her.
She also tries to make sure the ice cream doesn't drip down onto her dress, but other than that, sitting next to them is one of her new favorite past times!
===
Navia smiled as she took a bite into the frozen treat, turning to S/O and raising her sunglasses.
Tumblr media
S/O blushed at her bright expression, staring more at her than the sunset itself.
(S/O) "Sure thing! I'm sure you can make it taste better too!"
(Navia) "Aw, I can't make it without you, silly! Now, what did you call this again?"
(S/O) "Sea Salt Ice Cream."
(Navia) "Sea Salt, got it! There should be no shortage of that around here, I'm surprised no one's made this sooner!"
(S/O) "A friend of mine taught me the recipe. He liked sitting up here with his friends and eating the same thing."
Navia's sunglasses dropped back down as she moved closer to S/O, taking another bite from her ice cream.
(Navia) "Well...I'm glad you wanted to share this sight with me too!"
Tumblr media
Furina is a woman of class, only enjoying the most delectable of desserts adorned with fancy decorations.
And their taste must be nothing short of sublime!
So when it comes to ice cream, admittedly, she finds them lacking, but sweets are sweets!
And the ones S/O had chosen to share with her passed her expectations!...When it comes to the taste, anyway.
But when it came to their choice of location, Furina was more than happy to watch the sunset in silence with S/O.
It was honestly a nice change of pace than the opera houses they'd frequent. This secluded place on the wall overlooking a large part of Fontaine felt like a special place, reserved only for them.
===
Furina examined the treat before her under close scrutiny. Appearance-wise, it was just a block of blue. Boring!
But, S/O had made this specially for her. The taste passed her inspection but it was admittedly bland. She would have to properly inform them how to make amazing treats!
(S/O) "Do you like it?"
(Furina) "The taste is adequate. But would it have killed you to put some flair onto this ice cream?"
(S/O) "Well, my friend never really taught me to do anything special with it."
(Furina) "Your friend?"
(S/O) "Oh, did I not tell you? He's the one who taught me how to make it! We all shared the ones he made at this very spot. Heh, everytime he showed us, he'd ask if we "got it memorized" every single time!"
While Furina was listening, she became enraptured by S/O's face as they recalled their fond memory, smiling as the sun was shining on them.
They had noticed she was staring and tilted their head curiously.
(S/O) "Is something wrong?"
Furina smiled and tasted her ice cream, then leaning the treat towards S/O.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Admittedly, Lynette did not try too many dishes that were either too hot or cold. The only exception for that being tea, and even then she had to wait for it to cool off.
Due to inheriting the cat-like traits, a very sensitive tongue was one of the things she had to learn to live with.
So, ice cream was something she did not have often, although she admittedly did enjoy it, but not to the same degree as other dessert aficionados.
But she won't say no to a free meal, especially one provided by her S/O.
And seeing how happy S/O was to give her the homemade ice cream, she couldn't refuse that smile.
Doubly so when she got to watch the sun set next to them, though feeling the heat directly made her want to take a nap more than anything.
===
Lynette looked at the ice cream in her hands, noticing how basic the shape was.
Shrugging, her tongue poked out from her lips as she gave the ice cream a lick, immediately recoiling.
Tumblr media
S/O chuckled at her cute reaction.
(S/O) "I mean, it is ice cream, Lynette. How did it taste?"
Lynette stared blankly at S/O before failing to contain a small smile from growing. She waited for a few moments before taking another lick, noting the taste.
(Lynette) "Salty, but sweet at the same time. Surprisingly not too strong in either direction."
(S/O) "Okay, good! My friend would never let me live it down if I messed up the recipe for my girlfriend."
Now it was Lynettte's turn to quietly chuckle as she looked at the setting sun, feeling the warmth on her skin.
(Lynette) "I don't think Lyney would either. Speaking of which, do you mind making more for him as well?"
(S/O) "Sure. Want me to teach you as well? It's pretty simple."
Lynette paused for a moment, her ears twitching.
(Lynette) "I don't have to use any appliances, do I?"
(S/O) "The stovetop and freezer, mostly."
(Lynette) "I...think I'll watch, so that way I don't break it."
S/O laughed, almost dropping their own ice cream.
(S/O) "Okay. You'll at least eat them when I make them, right?"
Lynette smiled at them before getting back to slowly finishing up the ice cream.
(Lynette) "I won't eat one every day, but I will when you make them."

navey got me wondering...
how would the fontaine women propose to you? whos gonna go all out and make it just like the movies, and whos gonna start crying because they just love you too much?
(i think navia would propose on a boat ride late at night, just the two of you, under the stars)
-🍁
The boat ride late at night would be so romantic…if I didn’t get motion sickness easily 😅
But ignoring that! Imagine you and Navia sitting on the boat together, Navia bringing out a small box of cupcakes for you both to enjoy and…WOAH. IS THAT A RING ON TOP OF THE ICING? Ofc Navia would infuse her baking into her proposal somehow! Now you have a ring, a fiancé, and a box of delicious cupcakes!
I can see Furina trying to propose to you on her knees out in public one day, but she’s just so overwhelmed and in love with you that she bursts out crying and sobbing, the ring box shaking in her hands because she’s struggling to ask “will you marry me?” God she’s so pathetic 😍 you’d have to finish her sentence on her behalf…
I need to think of other unique proposals for the Fontaine women, but these are the ones I have so far! I believe Fontaine women would be the most extravagant in their proposals, so feel free to get creative and add on!

More than you can chew III: three is company
Previous // Next // First
Elirah (genshin impact OC) x Alhaitham x Kaveh
Word Count: 6K
WARNING: NSFW 18+ MDNI. This fic contains smut between all three characters, and includes very heavy kaveh x alhaitham. All characters have consumed small amounts of alcohol, but not enough to impair judgement.
CW: m/m/f threesome, sex, penetrative sex (m and f receiving) heavy BDSM dynamics. Dom!alhaitham, sub/slight switch!Elirah, sub/slight switch!Kaveh. Cussing, Oral, squirting, teasing, fingering, consent is sexy, dirty talk, use of nicknames: little slut, pretty girl, little flower, baby. Anal sex (m receiving) creampie, cumming on ass, mild cum eating, Kaveh gets sex🚂’d (alhaitham inside him while he inside elirah)
————
Kaveh’s gaze burned a hole into the side of Elirahs skull, and she couldn’t focus on what she was doing. 
Granted, she couldn’t really focus anyways, Alhaitham was consuming her like she would disappear at any moment, his hands grabbing at the flesh of her hips like she was going to run away from him. 
She very much planned to stay exactly where she was, but Kaveh watching her made her feel… squirmy. 
Eli was no stranger to sex. In fact, she’d say that apart from her duties to her archon, casual sex was one of the things in life that she truly enjoyed without reservations. Well, without some reservations. 
Did she go around sleeping with everyone? Certainly not. She was very picky, only sleeping with trusted friends, or people whom she knew were capable of being a lover without the expectation of tying her down to them. 
That’s one thing she couldn’t have, a relationship that trapped her. Her freedom to come and go and do as she pleases while serving Lord Kusanali’s wishes was the most important thing to her. 
The akademiya tried to pin her down, and she rebelled, causing a lot of problems for her archon, which was the only reason she decided to be nice and play ambassador for her god in Fontaine. 
That had ended spectacularly for her self esteem, which is why she hadn’t had sex in the many months since the revolution that happened while she was off playing house with a harbinger. Well, a harbingers half-baked lackey. 
Yeah. She was still a little sore about that one. 
Alhaitham’s hands were the first hands that had touched her in many moons, his lips were the first she’d kissed in a long time that had made her feel so breathless, and yet her best friends heavy gaze was distracting her from what was shaping up to be one of the hottest encounters of her life. 
She pulled away from Alhaitham, the acting grand sage chasing her lips in a needy way that made her grin. She leaned back, looking off to the side at Kaveh, who was perched on the same couch, watching the two of them like they were the finest entertainment money could buy. 
“Kaveh,” she said, eyes fluttering as Alhaitham kissed up her throat, leaving little nibbles as he went. “I know you suggested that we don’t stop just because you got home, but I didn’t think you’d be sitting and watching us.” 
Elirah felt Alhaitham grin against her skin, his nips growing harsher as she held back noises, watching Kavehs red eyes glimmer in the candlelight.
“Why wouldn’t I watch?”  Kaveh said, leaning an arm against the back of the couch and resting his head there, tilting it playfully. “This little scene has been a long time coming, though I thought it would take you both much longer, being as stubborn as you are. I owe Tighnari money now.” 
“Excuse me?” Elirah tried to sound offended, but it was so like the architect and the forest ranger to make bets on stupid, petty things like this. 
Tighnari had once suggested a betting pool on when Alhaitham and Kaveh were finally going to break and become an item, but Elirah refused to take part in it, if not for anything but the sheer fact that the archer was way too greedy about his starting wagers. 
Speaking of the two of them…
“Are you sure you’re not just jealous, Kaveh?” She tried to hide the whimper at the end of her question as Alhaitham licked and sucked on the sensitive skin beneath her ear, but her eyes fluttered back whether she wanted them to or not, and her question lacked the teasing tone she’d intended. 
“Me, jealous?” Kaveh leaned forward, and she could smell the faint scent of wine on his breath. Not enough to make him drunk, but apparently enough to make him honest. “No, I can have him whenever I please, but seeing you like this is a rare treat, little flower.” 
Elirah flushed despite herself. Kaveh called her little flower when she was younger, many years his junior and trailing after him with Padisarahs in her pockets, in her hair, clutched in her hands, only stuck together because their mothers were close once. 
“S-so he finally admits to sleeping with the scribe?” Alhaitham continued to lick and kiss and paw at her as she tried to keep her cool. “I thought the light of Kshahrewar was so far above sleeping with his juniors?” 
Kaveh lifted a lithe hand to her face, tucking a strand of her disheveled hair behind her ear as he smiled dreamily, though there was a heaviness behind it, a sort of mischief that Elirah rarely saw. 
“There are a few exceptions, it would seem.” 
Eli shuddered at the implication. She’d always found Kaveh very beautiful, very attractive, but she had never really entertained the idea that he would be interested in her in that way. 
Alhaitham scoffed a bit, pulling away from Elirahs red and flushed skin, leaving little spots that she was sure were purpling as he spoke. 
“Are you going to kiss her, or am I going to have to shut you up myself?” He looked at the architect pointedly, and Elirah squirmed in his lap at the thought. 
“You should shut him up, I want to see that.” She whispered. 
Alhaitham’s eyes thinned in mirth, and he promptly deposited Elirah beside him, rolling quickly onto Kaveh, pinning him against the back of the couch. 
“Wha— hey!” Kaveh exclaimed. “I was enjoying the show!” 
Alhaitham hummed against Kaveh’s lips. “Well now she can enjoy a little show as well.” 
Alhaitham devoured Kaveh with the same ferocity she’d met when their own lips combined just moments ago. Kaveh seemed helpless, lost, completely unable to break free from the spell that Alhaithams tongue had on him, and with the moans and whimpers he released as the scribe carried on— it seemed like he was very much content with staying put. 
The buzzing spot between Eli’s legs throbbed as she watched the two in front of her moan and kiss and grope at each other, her eyes trailing to where Alhaithams hand palmed over Kaveh’s groin and he squeezed, making Kaveh buck his hips and whine pitifully. 
“Eli, come here.” Her eyes fluttered to where Alhaitham had broken the kiss, his eyes dark and expression teasing. 
She obeyed, the gratification of seeing Kaveh get flustered when Alhaitham picked her up and sat her in the architect's lap was well worth obeying something Alhaitham told her to do. He persisted in his demanding role, pushing her head towards Kavehs’s as the scribe kneeled on the floor in front of them. 
“You two can enjoy yourselves up there, I’ll be down here for a moment.” 
Eli watched as Kaveh’s expression shifted, and she could feel movement behind her,  but it wasn’t until she felt Alhaitham’s hair brushing against the backs of her thighs that she realized what the scribe was up to. 
“Do you get the acting grand sage on his knees for you often, Kaveh?” She whispered, grinning as Kaveh moaned, his eyes squeezing shut as if he was trying to concentrate. 
Kaveh just grabbed her by the back of her head, his long fingers tangling in her hair. He yanked her closer, so close that their noses touched, their breaths mingled.
“Just wait until he starts on you, you little minx.” Kaveh was breathless, his retort sounding far less menacing than she’s sure he meant, but it caught Alhaithams attention. He reached his hands up to palm at her bodysuit, fingers brushing along her breasts in search of her zipper. 
He paused his mouthing of Kaveh’s cock to sit up and shuck her clothes down and off her once he pulled the zipper free. Kaveh’s eyes flickered to her chest as his face flushed, but he quickly averted them to the ceiling as Alhaitham managed the awkward task of removing her clothing while she was still on his lap. 
“If you want this to continue in the direction it's going Kaveh, it's okay for you to look at me.” Eli smirked. 
Alhaitham snaked his arms around Elirahs waist, warm hands grabbing at the skin there as he eyed Kaveh over her shoulder. 
“Do you want to stop?” He asked, seeking out Kavehs gaze. 
The architect’s eyes flickered from Eli’s chest to Alhaitham’s eyes and back, his fluster growing more evident. 
“No, no, I want this, this is….” Kavehs hands rested just above Alhaithams, his eyes warmly tracing her bare skin, bared just for the two of them. 
“This is perfect. I want to continue. I’m just…” Kaveh paused, his expression growing sheepish. 
“Are you nervous because you’ve not been with a woman before, Kaveh?” 
The blond tensed beneath her. 
“You really don’t know the art of subtlety do you?!” Kaveh snapped, his brows furrowing. 
“Hey,” Elirah cupped Kavehs cheeks in her small hands, tilting his face up to meet her gaze head on. “Everything’s okay. Do you want to take things slow? I’m okay with slow.” 
His eyes shifted between hers, and for a moment, he looked a bit startled. But he must’ve realized who he was with, because he then hung his head a bit in shame, making her bear the weight of it in her hands. 
“No, I’m… I’m amiable to the pace Alhaitham is setting. I just don’t want this to ruin anything between us. Like, what if I—“ 
“Kaveh.” She cut him off. 
He looked up at her. 
“Kiss me.” 
He looked confused, but hesitantly wrapped his other hand around her head, pulling her just that much closer as their lips connected. He kissed her gently, but with passion, tongues lacking hesitancy as the heat of the moment overcame them. 
It felt lovely, kissing Kaveh. Her chest warmed— he was so beautiful, his lips were so soft. She felt Alhaithams hands tighten on her waist, he must have thought them beautiful together as well. 
She pulled back gently, feeling him lean and chase the feeling of her lips. She smiled. Looking at him with all the love and care she had held for him all these years. 
“You’re still my best friend Kaveh, nothing will ever take that away. It might change, it might grow, but I’ll never stop caring for you.” 
His face grew incredibly red then, and he moved his hands to wrap around her shoulders, pulling her close and out of Alhaithams grasp to hold her in his arms. 
He hugged her, holding her naked body close for quite some time before he spoke. 
“Okay. Then let’s keep going. I want to keep going if you both want to.” 
“I was perfectly fine without the theatrics, but as long as we’re all understanding of what’s going on here, I’d like to continue.” Alhaithams voice sounded like he was rolling his eyes, so Elirah gave him a playful smack on the arm behind her. 
“Don’t you be like that, some of us need to talk things out before we pounce on each other, there’s nothing wrong with that, you brute.” 
Alhaitham just hummed, pushing her upper body back down towards Kaveh, hoisting her ass a bit further into the air before mouthing across the round flesh. He nibbled as he came closer to her thighs, making her squeak and blush as Kaveh chuckled at her wide eyes. 
Alhaitham then dove directly between her legs, licking up her core without warning, making her moan and squirm. 
“Oh, fuck!” Her eyes clenched, and she gripped onto Kaveh’s sides, tugging on his shirt. 
“I told you. That damned tongue is good for more than just talking shit, you know.” Kaveh snickered, eyeing her expressions with lust. 
“I— I can see w-why you keep him around now.” Elijah stuttered out. Earning herself a playful smack on the ass from the scribe. 
She jumped, whimpering at the sharp sting that accompanied the pleasure oozing from her core as Alhaitham licked and suckled at her clit. 
He pulled away, and suddenly Kaveh tensed again, letting Eli know that he was right back to sucking him off. 
Now that she could focus a bit more, she leaned in and mouthed her way across Kaveh’s jawline, suckling on the skin of his throat and leaving little love bites as she went.
The blond continued to squirm as she pulled at his shirt, and she could feel Alhaithams head bobbing just beneath her ass— his hair brushing against her thighs in quick motions. She could hear the slurping noises as she pulled Kaveh’s shirt up and off of him, her hands roaming his chest as he tossed his head back on the couch. 
“Fuck!” Kaveh whined as Elirah raked her blunt nails down his chest, just hard enough to leave faint red lines in their wake. 
She bent down to give his nipple a little kitten lick, delighted that he seemed particularly sensitive there, and she proceeded to lick and suck all across his chest until he was whimpering and pushing at her shoulders like he was about to burst. 
“You— you both… I’m gonna—!” She stilled, watching him pant and whine as Alhaitham stopped as well, pulling away to rest his chin on Elirah’s shoulder. 
Kaveh’s chest rose and fell rapidly, and he squirmed, bucking himself up so hard that his dripping cock brushed against Elirahs bare ass, and she grinned a bit, enjoying his shameless desperation. 
“Don’t tell me you were expecting to cum so soon?” Alhaitham said, bringing his hands around to Eli’s chest, squeezing her breasts for the blond’s viewing pleasure. “And with such a beautiful woman in your lap, receiving absolutely zero attention. How selfish of you, Kaveh.” 
Kaveh sputtered, his face red and hands gripping her hips as he continued shifting and bucking beneath her. 
“Fffuck, please!” He whined. “You don’t always have to be so fucking mean, Alhaitham!” 
“Hah.” Alhaitham huffed. “Mean? You don’t even know the definition of the word.”
The acting grand sage grabbed Elirah as if she weighed absolutely nothing to him, flipping her around and pushing her back against Kaveh’s chest, trapping his cock against her plush ass. 
Kaveh hesitantly wrapped his arms around Elirah, avoiding her breasts but squeezing the flesh around her waist appreciatively. 
Alhaitham lifted his hand, thrusting his fingers at Kaveh’s mouth with a firm demand to suck, and Kaveh obliged, licking and sucking at them rather provocatively, making Elirah’s core throb with the sight of it in her peripherals. 
“Haitham,” she said, smaller than intended. “I don’t think that’s necessary, I’m plenty worked up, you shouldn’t need to…” 
Her eyes trailed to where Alhaithams hand was fisting his cock, she hadn’t noticed before, but now that she was turned around it was evident that he’d been pleasuring himself this whole time. 
“Oh.”
His cock was huge. Bigger than any she’d seen, bigger than any she’d taken. It was long and thick, the tip the prettiest shade of pink, oozing filthy amounts of precum as he fisted along his length. 
“I’m not going anywhere near you until you’re thoroughly prepped, Elirah.” He said as he pulled his fingers free from Kaveh’s mouth. 
“Yeah,” she stammered as she eyed the weapon between his legs.  “Yeah, that’s… probably best.” 
He started with one finger, hesitantly pushing it in, pulling back when he met no resistance and adding another, slowly pushing forward and crooking his fingers gently, making her keen. 
His fingers were so long, she’d secretly admired his hands in the past, before she thought she hated him, and now they were inside her, poking and prodding deeper than her own could ever hope to reach. 
He picked up the pace, crooking them so deliciously when he found the spot that made her squeak, made her thighs tense where they were spread, her feet planted on the couch on the outside of Kaveh’s legs. 
She could feel Kaveh’s cock twitching against her backside, the length of it jumping, smearing wetness across her skin. 
It was all so filthy, so hot, so incredibly gratifying that when Alhaitham crooked his fingers once more, she broke, and an extremely satisfying orgasm rocked through her. 
Wave after wave, Alhaitham worked her through it, his fingers keeping a steady pace. 
“Haitham,” she gasped, “haitham— please!” 
He was relentless, pushing her past a pleasurable point into glorious overstimulation, and she keened, writhing in Kaveh’s grip. 
Finally, finally, after what felt like ages of pleading with him, he pulled his fingers from within her, stroking his cock with the juices that still coated his fingers. 
“Kaveh,” Alhaitham paused, pressing the heat of his cockhead just at her entrance, teasing her. “Remember when you told me I was being mean?” 
She could feel Kaveh swallow behind her, shifting her weight a bit in his lap. 
“You’re going to hold her while I fuck her, and if you can manage to not touch yourself, to not cum— then I’ll take good care of you afterwards,” he leaned, reaching past her to squeeze at his waist, looking over her shoulder with a stare that bordered on menacing, but oh so hungry. “Does that sound mean enough for you?” 
“No,” Kaveh muttered. “That’s… that’s fair.” 
“Good boy.” Alhaitham said simply. 
His focus trained back to her, and he pushed forward, watching her eyes as he pressed the head of his cock within her tight walls. 
She swore she could feel her eyes nearly pop out of her skull. 
Her core throbbed, clamping down around him like a vice, just as relentless as his pursuit into the depths of her. 
Inch after inch he pushed in, until about the halfway point, when he must have realized she was holding her breath to prevent any noises from escaping. 
He watched her face return to a somewhat normal colour as she took a deep breath when he paused, her face scrunching up in what she was sure looked like discomfort, which was half the truth. 
The other half was that she felt, to the deepest extent of the word: full. She felt like her stomach was bulging, like he was about to split her in half. 
“Are you alright?” He said, and she let a weak laugh of disbelief punch through her chest. 
“You— you’re kidding right?” She said, eyes wide, staring up at him. “You’re so…. So fucking huge. How is this even possible?” 
“You're doing so good, ‘Lirah.” Kaveh’s soothing voice was an octave lower, whispering gently in her ear as his hands ran up and down her waist in soothing motions. 
In her pleasurable distress, she’d almost forgotten he was there, but was suddenly very grateful for his grounding presence. 
Alhaitham moved in another inch, slow, before pausing for her again. 
“Fuck!” She shouted into the charged air around them. “How— how do you even take this, Kaveh?” 
“Should I be offended that you assumed I’m a bottom?” His lilting voice teased her ear as he nibbled on the lobe, hot breath making her shiver. 
“She’s not entirely wrong, so there's no need for a fuss.” Alhaitham grabbed one of Kaveh’s hands, bringing his fingertips to her aching core. 
“You see this right here? Feel it?” He swirls Kaveh’s fingertips over her clit, making her cunt clench and pulse around him, and she sees for a moment that it’s affecting him more than he’d like to let on. He composes himself and continues though, much to her displeasure. 
“That is her clitoris. You should be able to infer what to do from here. Pay very close attention to her reactions, observe and readjust as needed. It will help her to take all of this.” 
Kaveh nodded, for once, having no quips to Alhaitham ordering him around. She squirmed as he swirled his fingers around her pulsing bud, and Alhaitham was right, it did help ease the slight twinge of discomfort she was feeling. 
She moaned, arching her back as Alhaitham pulled out ever so slightly to push back in, Kaveh’s fingers swirling around her clit diligently, so softly. 
“Doesn’t that feel better, pretty girl?” Alhaitham murmured in her ear, sinking in a bit deeper, almost to the hilt now. 
She felt like she was going to burst, but the ache in her clit was nearly mind numbing, making her body feel warm and fuzzy all over as Alhaitham pulled out and pushed back in, nearly there. 
“Do you wanna take it all?” Kaveh whispered to her, his fingers swirling and swiping as she writhed in his grip. “Wanna take it all for us? It’ll be so good, I know you’ll love it, baby.” 
Elirah keened, nodding as her back arched. “Please! Please Haitham—“ she gasped. “I can take it!” 
“You can take it, huh?” He smirked. “You sure about that?” 
She nodded, nearly delirious. “Uh huh, uh huh! Please!” 
“You're so filthy, Elirah,” he teased, inching out of her slowly. “But maybe I should’ve expected that from you.” 
She whined, but the noise was ripped from her throat as he pressed all the way inside of her, melding into a scream as the tip of his cock pressed into the deepest points of her body. 
“Fuck!” Her back arched, her eyes nearly popped out of her skull as she came, Kaveh’s fingers pressing into her clit combined with the feeling of being so fucking full sending her completely over the edge, unexpected.
There wasn’t even that much of a buildup, it just wracked through her like an explosion, making her legs twitch and spasm as she came and came and came, Kaveh’s fingers keeping her going as he watched in awe. 
Alhaitham took that moment to begin fucking her, working his monstrosity of a cock in and out of her core with an embarrassing wet sound that would have set her on fire if it weren’t for the immeasurable pleasure coursing its way through her body with each thrust. 
She’d never felt so good in her life. Nothing compared to how overwhelmed she was in this moment, with Kaveh murmuring sweet nothings in her ear, his hands finally, finally toying hesitantly with her breasts, fingers twirling around her nipples. 
Alhaithams grip on her hips was relentless, his thrusts brutal as he pounded against what she figured was her cervix. She’d never felt anything so deep, it tore broken little “ah,” noises from her throat with every thrust. 
“Fuck,” Alhaitham hisses, his hands readjusting on her hips. “You’re going to come again, already?” 
She was unsure what he meant, but then she realized she could feel herself clenching, twitching, her moans growing more desperate as the pleasure welled within her like a tidal wave. How he knew before she did— well Elirah figured that was just proof of how fucked dumb she was becoming, because when she came, it overtook her senses, her body contracting as she gasped in surprise, wailing as the pressure of her orgasm pushed Alhaitham completely out of her body with a torrential gush.
”Fuuuuck,” Kaveh groaned as he watched her squirt all over Alhaitham’s lower half, soaking their couch and Kaveh’s pants in her arousal. 
Alhaitham stroked himself as he watched her core pulse and twitch as she came down from it, her chest heaving with each breath. Kaveh’s arms held her close, stroking over her sides and kissing along her cheek and neck in an attempt at comforting her. 
“That was beautiful,” Kaveh whispered. “I’ve never seen something so fucking hot in my life.” 
“I’ve never…” she panted, eyes fluttering up at the ceiling as she tried to catch her breath. “I’ve never done that before…” 
She can feel Kaveh’s length twitching and leaking against her back, and she can hear the wet sounds of Alhaitham stroking himself to her image. She lolls her head to the side, resting on Kavehs shoulder, and her stomach flips at how lustful his gaze is. 
His eyes are dark, gaze heavy, a bead of sweat runs down his face to the column of his throat and she feels the deepest desire to lick it off him. 
“Oh yeah?” The scribe says. “Let’s see if you can do it again, on Kaveh this time.” 
As if she weighed little more than a sack of rice, he picked her up and flipped her around, making her face Kaveh once more. She felt him shuck Kaveh’s pants off, throwing them into whatever void took her clothes as well. 
“Are you still alright, Kaveh?” Alhaitham asked behind her, and she shimmied her hips, looking at Kaveh’s flushed cheeks. 
“Y-yes!” He stammered, his hands hesitantly holding her hips. “But shouldn’t you be asking Eli as well?” 
A firm smack cracked against the cheek of her ass, and Elirah moaned, long and filthy, her eyes nearly rolling back as she pushed her hips further back towards Alhaitham.
She could feel him spreading her, baring her to his heavy gaze. “If you could see the way this sluttly little hole is weeping and clenching, just begging to be filled up again, you would realize that the question would be obsolete.” 
His voice was sending her, making her spine quake with shivers as she held onto Kaveh’s shoulders. Who knew the scribe would have such a filthy mouth? But she should have suspected, considering his darshan, that the man would have such a way with words within the bedroom as without. 
Kaveh’s brows scrunched up with concern as he looked between the two in front of him, and Elirah couldn’t help but pant at the way his hands held her tighter. Protective. Possessive. 
“H-haitham, you know as well as I do that verbal consent is extremely important.” 
Eli was in such a haze, slipping further into a deep headspace she’d not encountered in a very long time, a headspace that she’d not slipped so easily into in the past. 
For all his faults, all their past conflict and turmoil, she trusted Alhaitham in this moment, and wanted more. 
“Well, little slut?” Alhaitham breathed, grasping her hair and pulling her back with a tug to speak directly into her ear, his breaths heating up the flesh. ”Are you still alright with the pace I'm setting? You want to keep going? Take Kaveh’s cock for me like a good girl?” 
“Yes— yes, yes! By the archons, don’t stop.” She was rambling, wanting more and more of this addicting feeling. “Keep going, just like this, I love this, it's so good—  ‘Haitham, don’t stop.” He hadn’t even done anything, was just holding her, but after those earth shattering orgasms, she was pliant and willing in his hands, wanting anything and everything he could give her. 
A pleased hum rumbled from Alhaitham’s chest and into her spine, warming her even further. 
“See?” He said to Kaveh, thrusting her back into his chest. “I can be nice.”
Kaveh grabbed her face, smoothing down her hair as she looked at him with heavy, hazy eyes. She squirmed in their hold, and whined when she felt Kaveh’s cock brush against her aching hole. 
“Gods, Alhaitham. She’s so far gone,” Kaveh murmured, pressing gentle kisses to her lips. “She slips into it so fast, like she was made for it.” 
“Mmhmm,” Elirah nods, heavy and dumb, wanting to be good. So, so good for them. 
“She still lasted longer than you did the first time,” Alhaitham says, palming over her ass. The easy way they’re conversing about her as if she isn’t even there has her keening into his touch, wordlessly begging him for more. 
“You were— ah!” Kaveh gasps as the head of his cock is pushed into her waiting cunt, sucking him in with no resistance as her juices roll down his shaft. 
“K-Kaveh!” Eli cried out, her sensitive walls fluttering around his length. He wasn’t as big as Alhaitham, but he still had glorious length and a curve that had her curling her toes up as it pushed against her g-spot. 
“Oh my gods,” Kaveh moaned, his hands squeezing her hips as he slowly but surely thrust himself within her, nestling himself deep inside until her throbbing little clit was pressed against the trimmed hairs at the base of his shaft. “H-How are you still so tight after he hollowed you out like that?” 
“Filthy.” Alhaitham simply said as he ground her down onto Kaveh. The two beneath the scribe moaned as their bodies writhed together, losing themselves slowly in his guidance. 
“Why don’t you ask Kaveh how his first pussy feels, hm?” Alhaitham whispers in her ear. “Don’t you feel so special being his first?” 
Something in her quivered as she groaned, leaning her head back against Alhaitham’s shoulder as she continued to grind her hips down onto the blond beneath her. 
“Yes, yes! Is it— is it g-good Kaveh?” She panted. “Do I feel good? Am I good for you?” 
Her mind was in shambles as she looked down at him. He was so flushed, panting weakly as his eyes flitted across her body, across the beads of sweat she could faintly feel rolling down her skin. 
“Yes, baby.” He whined, hands gripping her hips hard enough for his nails to leave little crescent moon indents in her plush skin. “You f-feel so good… better than anything— better than… fuck!” 
Alhaitham had leaned forward to wrap a large hand around Kaveh’s throat, looking at him predatorily over Elirah’s shoulder. 
“Should I be offended by that?” He said, fingers squeezing the sides of Kavehs throat. “I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve broken you into pieces while sitting on your cock. And you’re still going to say that in front of me?” 
Even with his eyes rolling back with pleasure, Kaveh was still weakly rutting his hips into Elirah, matching the pace of her stuttering movements on his cock. 
“You’re… you’re gonna deny the way she— she feels?” Kaveh choked out, his voice wavering with the overwhelming pleasure. “I wouldn’t… wouldn’t be upset if you said that she’s— fuck!— that she feels b-better than me. I’d believe it.” 
Alhaitham seemed satisfied with that answer, loosening his hold on Kaveh in favor of guiding Elirah’s hips into a more punishing pace. 
“It’s like comparing zaytun peaches to harra fruit.” He said, licking along the column of Eli’s throat. “Different, yet delicious. I’ll happily devour them both the same.” 
That made the both of them shudder, and Eli felt herself clenching around Kaveh, making the architect cry out and squirm. 
Suddenly, Alhaitham’s hot breath was in her ear. “Would you like to see him lose himself completely?” 
She nodded, whining at the thought of seeing him even more wrecked than he already was. 
Alhaitham dipped his fingers in between her folds as she rode, drenching them in her sticky arousal. A moment later Kaveh’s eyes bulged wide, and he keened, his hands gripping her hips hard enough to leave bruises. 
He stopped meeting her pace, breathing heavily as if he was trying to focus. 
“What’s wrong?” Eli rolled her hips, hungrily wanting him to keep going. 
“He’s got… he’s got his—“ he gasped, eyes rolling for a second. “His fingers… in…” 
Elirah groaned, her mind drenched in the most obscene delight as she realized what Alhaitham was about to do. She stilled her hips, leaning forward to kiss Kaveh as Alhaitham worked him open. 
After a few torturous minutes, Alhaitham used his other hand to dip in between her legs again, and she could hear the sounds of him slicking up his cock with more of her juices. She leaned back, meeting his chest once more as they both looked down at Kaveh, who was blinking up at them both in nervous anticipation. 
“I told you I’d take care of you, didn't I?” Alhaitham murmured down at him. “And you were such a good boy for us, wasn’t he Eli?”
Even though Elirah herself was still deep in the throes of subspace, the prospect of seeing Kaveh reach those heights as well was quickly sobering her up, making her grin maniacally down at the blond. 
“Yes, such a good boy.” She said, light and breathy as she felt his cock twitch inside her. “So fucking perfect.” 
Kaveh keened as Alhaitham pushed forward, and the architect's mind seemed to short circuit as the scribe simply pushed in all the way with a single, slow thrust. 
Kaveh looked broken, his jaw hanging open but not a single sound leaving it as his wide eyes lay locked on the ceiling, his hands white knuckling in their hold over Eli’s hips. 
She hissed, rolling them over his as she tried to fuck him out of his shock, and it pulled a very broken whine from his slender throat. 
His cock throbbed inside her, and some movement from Alhaitham seemed to stir him up, making him cry out loud, full and needy from his chest. 
“Please, please please please—“ he sobbed beneath them. “I’m not gonna— I’m not gonna last, please!” 
Elirah moaned, letting Alhaitham move her hips once more as he rocked into Kaveh. 
It was hot, sticky, incredibly messy. But oh so gratifying to watch as Kaveh truly lost himself. 
He whined, pleading to Alhaitham to let him cum— he was so close, please, please let me cum!
After another torturous moment simply just to tease him, Alhaitham simply told him that he was asking the wrong person for permission. 
“Eli!” He cried out, watery eyes pleading with her. “Can I cum, can I cum, please please please let me cum!” 
Her pleasure was mounting, right on the precipice as well, but she drew it out just a moment longer to savor this moment. 
“Where do you wanna cum, Kaveh?” 
He whined, biting his lip as his face flushed even deeper, his brow pinching together as he held himself back before he released a deep breath, answering her. 
“Inside— please inside, please let me cum inside!” 
She smiled, feeling her orgasm reach its limit, choosing the last moment to gasp out a breathy “cum, Kaveh.” 
And he did. It was oh so warm, and he writhed beneath her as he gasped, feeling his cock twitch and throb as he pumped her full. She rode out her own orgasm with the satisfying feeling of it oh so deep inside her. 
Behind her, she heard Alhaitham curse out, pulling himself back until she felt hot ropes of his spend splatter all over her ass, dripping down her cheeks to land on Kaveh’s spread thighs. 
Their hot and heavy breaths mingled in the charged air of the living room, the couch most likely ruined, but none of them made any moves to get up, to clean their mess. 
“That was…” Kaveh huffed, his hands smoothing down Elirah’s hips in a soothing motion, whether to soothe her or himself, she wasn’t sure. 
“Incredible.” Elirah breathed, letting herself fall forwards into Kaveh’s chest with a little groan. She felt his softening cock slip free, feeling his cum start to drip from her still clenching hole, but neither of them seemed bothered, so neither of them moved. 
Alhaitham moved though, he simply spread her ass once more as if to get a better look at the mess, giving a satisfied hum. 
“You’re on birth control, yes?” The scribe asked. “If not, I can run over and get some post-coital contraceptives, no problem.” 
“I’m on birth control,” she said, turning her head to nuzzle in the crook of Kaveh’s neck affectionately. “And if you ever say the phrase post-coital ever again, I will stab you without hesitation.” 
Kaveh snorted, weakly raising a hand in affirmation. “I second that.” 
Alhaitham made a small contemplative noise, his hands squeezing Elirah’s ass once more. “And here I was going to offer to clean you both up, but it seems like you’d both rather do it yourselves, yes?” 
Eli jumped, tensing a bit. “Well well, don’t be too hasty now, you’re the orchestrater of said mess, so I think it’s only fair if you clean it up!”
Alhaitham hummed once more, before Eli felt his hot tongue snaking across her folds, licking some of Kaveh’s cum from her in a firm stroke. 
“What are you doing?!” Elirah exclaimed, feeling her cunt give a sensitive throb at the motion. 
“Cleaning up the mess.” He simply said, licking across her ass. 
Though she was thoroughly satiated, she had a sneaking suspicion the night was far from over, and when Kaveh’s cock gave an interested twitch beneath her, she realized she was well and truly screwed.

~The Duchess' Thoughts and Drabbles Pt. 4~ Ft. Neuvillette
Thinking about Neuvillette slowly falling in love with a reader who owns a dessert shop. Mostly just ideas of Neuvillette falling in love with the reader's Raindrop Cakes, rather than them as a person lol
[Neuvillette x reader, Very little romance/slow-burn set-up, Gn! Reader, fluff]
Tumblr media
Well, it had all started when one of the Melusines had come across your new, quaint little dessert shop that's just got up off the ground. The shop was tucked in a little corner, but at the time it was all you could afford to purchase for your bakery. Unfortunately for you, the awkward placement meant that there was not a lot of traffic coming through your doors, and it didn't matter how many sweets you baked with the windows wide open- the smells of the other bakery shops nearby greatly overpowered yours.
It was tough trying to get by everyday, but you always held your head up high for the next day. After all, it was your dream to open up a bakery in Fontaine, and after all the shit you had to go through to get this up and running, you weren't about to just kneel over and give up when things didn't go as you planned.
At the very least, you've now managed to secure a couple regular customers, who prefer the tiny and cozy atmosphere of your shop compared to the grand and extravagance of any of the other bakeries.
On this day, you were sitting at the register, focused on your little stack of baking books around you and writing things down in your notebook. There wasn't a single soul in your shop besides yourself. The Melusine could hear you muttering things under your breath about ideas for new recipes and baking methods, and you were brought out of your thoughts when you heard the bell of your door ring as the Melusine walked in.
"Good evening!" you jump up excitedly. This Melusine could possibly be your first customer of the day! "Let me know if there's anything that strikes your fancy. I also offer free samples if you're unsure!" Well, it's not like you really had a choice with the free samples... With how much you ended up baking, most of this stuff was probably going to have ended up in the bin anyway.
The Melusine nods her head and starts looking around, and you can tell that she's rather timid as she takes a look at the goods you have on display. Though, with how much your focus was directed specifically to her, you can see the sparkles in her eyes as she browsed. You offered a lot of classic Fontainian desserts, like croissants, tiramisu, lemon tarts, macarons, mousse, and the like, but a majority of your items were things the Melusine has never seen before. Swiss roll cake? Key Lime Pie? She's never even heard of these- but you're more than happy to offer her a taste of your hard work.
With every bite, the Melusine's eyes started shining brighter and brighter, and her timid personality started to give way to her curiosity about your work and how you create these sweet confections.
At some point, she stops in her tracks when she sees a dessert that looked rather....bland, in comparison to the others. It sat in its display case, delicate and untouched. The surface was smooth, and you could see right through it.
"Oh, this? This is called Raindrop Cake. Some of my customers prefer desserts that aren't too sweet, so I have this. It really just tastes like plain water, at least until you add some toppings to it. It's quite pretty, isn't it?"
"I'll take a box of those please!" the Melusine exclaims excitedly. It was the perfect dessert to offer as a gift for the Iudex.
"Of course! I appreciate your business! Come back next time!" And the Melusine happily leaves your establishment with a skip in her step while you're just happy that you managed to sell something today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ever since then, Neuvillette has been asking for more of those Raindrop Cakes specifically from your shop. He's always much too busy to get them himself, so the Melusines are always happy to go grab some for him in his place. Every time they come back, the Melusines tell him all about the kind owner who works the entire shop single-handedly. They tell him about all of the amazing other sweets they've got for sale, too- some even offering him a piece of their cake for him to taste.
Of course, he's always happy to receive any gifts the Melusines offer him, but his favorite is always the Raindrop Cakes. Their delicate texture and subtle tastes always brings him to happiness. He can tell when you've used water from different places for the recipe. (His personal favorite is when you use water from Sumeru's waterfalls.) And at this point, it's become a part of his routine to enjoy some of your Raindrop Cakes while tasting water as part of his hobby.
Even Furina manages to hear about this new bakery and she demands Neuvillette to bring her some of their cakes, being a sweet connoisseur herself, she must find out what all of this fuss is about! So, for the first time, Neuvillette finally decides that it was time to visit this bakery personally.
You almost fall off your seat at the cash register when you see the Iudex of Fontaine walk in through your doors, with at least 3 different Melusines in tow excitedly. You recognize each of the Melusines- after all, most of your customers recently have been Melusines coming in to buy more Raindrop Cakes and a few other desserts for themselves.
"G-good evening, sir! How can I help you today?" you ask nervously. Neuvillette's eyes stare directly into yours, his face unmoving and stern.
"Are you the owner of this establishment?" he asks. You can do nothing but nod under his intense gaze. Did you do something wrong? Are you in some sort of trouble with the law? You're sure that can't be it, you've been doing everything correctly... Maybe there's some other law that you broke without realizing? Or maybe someone wants to charge you for murder!? You know that eating too many sweets isn't really good for your health, but it's not your fault if someone ate so many of your sweets that they died from it!! You're innocent!
"Could you please show me your Raindrop Cakes?" he asks politely, and you're knocked out of your thoughts at the unexpected question. So... you're not in trouble. That's good. You move to show him where you keep the Raindrop Cakes. Because you've had so many people (Melusines) ordering them, you expanded the space and you increased your variety of Raindrop Cakes.
Neuvillette's eyes widen when he sees how many you have in stock. Some of them appeared to have been drizzled with molasses, some with honey, some with caramel, and some with black sugar syrup. Some of them have graham crackers sprinkled on them, some with powdered cinnamon, and some with soybean powder. Some have sakura blooms inside them, some with cecilias, some with glaze lilies, some with kalpalata lotuses, and some with rainbow roses. Some of them have strawberries in them, some with blueberries, some with mint, and some with valberries. Not only that, but some of them are in different shapes too. Like, take a look at this one, it's shaped like a cat! Or an otter! How delightful. The point is, Neuvillette didn't realize there were so many different variations to his favorite dessert. And this isn't even going into the different water you used in each of them. The only way he'll know is if he tries it.
"I'll take your entire stock of these. And add in one of those Mille Crepe cakes as well, please. Lady Furina would also like to try some of your desserts."
"Huh?!"
"It appears I am woefully ignorant of the world of Raindrop Cakes, despite how many I've enjoyed until today. I look forward to trying out each and every single one of these," he explains with a subtle smile on his face. The Melusines behind him celebrate to each other- namely because they're happy that your ledger will not be in the red for today. With how often they've stopped by, they've become quite close to you, and they collectively have been praying that your business succeeds. But they're also happy that Neuvillette seems to have found another thing to enjoy besides his water tasting.
While they were celebrating to themselves, they noticed the dazed look on your face as you try to box up all of the Raindrop Cakes for Neuvillette, and their minds start delving into...creative territories.
"Do you see that? I think they might like Monsieur Neuvillette!" "Is it a crush?" "Could it be true love?" "Monsieur Neuvillette finally finding someone! How exciting!" "I'm sure they'd get along splendidly! They're so kind, it's hard not to love them!!"
The hushed whispers of the Melusines do not escape from Neuvillette's ears, but it appears you were too much in shock at the moment to hear. I mean, both the Iudex AND the Hydro Archon wants to try out YOUR desserts? You'll have to thank the Melusines later for their free advertising. (That is, if you aren't forcibly closed down due to Furina not liking your sweets...)
But after everything that he's heard about you from the Melusines, he supposes that officially getting to know a person like you wouldn't be too bad. Maybe he will prove them to be right after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
This was meant to be a lot shorter, and a little more romantic, but I'm happy with how it is now! But I just KNOW that Neuvillette would absolutely adore Raindrop Cakes since they're so simple and since they basically taste like water lol. I hope everyone enjoyed! <3

Part 2
After our heated discussion yesterday at noon, we dined quite peacefully. Although Marissa was somehow still self-conscious, putting up a smile once in a while since Elona was with us at the table. The Steak Frites and Bisque were delicious by the way.
I decided to stay for the meantime, Marissa seemed relieved to hear that, albeit confused with my sudden presence. Elona looked very happy to hear the news too, she didn't seem wary of me at all.
She initiated most of our conversations, but she was still shy and careful with approaching me. I welcomed her as friendly as possible, and she seemed to appreciate the gesture.
For the past few weeks, Elona and I baked pastries, croissants, éclairs, macarons, the list goes on. It got to the point where we baked excessively and Marissa had to dispose some of it too. I'm not entirely sure where she took them, but I hope they enjoyed it.
When afternoon arrives, when the sun is almost setting down the horizon, the three of us altogether sit down by the window and enjoy freshly brewed coffee and tea of my blend, we savor it with the pastries we baked and watch the sun go down. That became a routine.
"Miss Eli," Elona called as she tugged onto the hem of my skirt.
She began to use sobriquets for Marissa and I, to differentiate as much as she claimed. But she refused to drop the honorifics even if my sister begged her to.
We're currently out on the streets of Fontaine, entering shops through shops. We visited all the points of interest. Marissa kicked me out of the house, she said I was starting to dust. Elona happily accompanied me and showed me the wonders of their capital.
"Are you tired? Would you like me to carry you?" I offered.
She shook her head to the side. I tilted my head and matched her height. I observed her closely and patiently, Elona's expression had changed into, something similar to a distraught one.
"Are you okay? Do you feel sick, perhaps?"
"No...but thank you for worrying. Uhm..."
I gave her an assuring smile and urged her to speak up. I gave her all my ears.
"S-so I heard what you and Miss Ria were talking about when you first came....."
Ah
"A-and, I know you don't like me at all! I understand so-"
"Elona," I spoke, interrupting her before she starts to go hysterical. I caressed her cheeks in an affectionate and assuring way. For such a little girl, she worries a lot.
Now I understand what Marissa meant.
"Thank you for accompanying my sister all this time. I hope you continue to do so."
I could feel that Elona relaxed as if a weight had been lifted from her small shoulders. I could see her eyes tear up a little, so I at once embraced and lifted her and continued our way. She nuzzled her face on my shoulders while her arms tightly clutched around me.
I had a hunch that Elona might've heard us before, which is why she's been trying to show her good side these past few weeks. I didn't expect she would voice out her concerns, that's a good thing. Not a lot of children can tell what they truly felt. Marissa has been raising her right.
However, what I cannot agree with is the state she is in. I heard the details that she was covered in bruises and severely malnourished when Marissa first saw her. She might've been abused and neglected by her biological parents. We wouldn't know the true story, I agree with Marissa for not forcing her to tell her life story and leaving her be to heal.
Elona is a bright child. She's as sweet as the custard in pastries, She's thoughtful enough to even sympathize with the littlest creatures. She's like the colors in the world. She's lovable in her way.
I wasn't against the idea of Elona. I was only against the process of how Marissa got her. If things end badly, Marissa would be accused of kidnapping a child. And learning that Elona's parents are people you shouldn't regard as one, puts me at ease. Marissa should be safe for now.
"What would you like for dinner, Elona?"
"Boudin Noir aux Pommes, please"
"Very well, Let's buy the ingredients, shall we?" I could feel her nod her head. "Where's the nearest shop for the basis?"
Elona raised her head and sniffed. She pointed to the direction on our left. Her eyes are slightly puffed and reddish.
" might have, but I think they don't have the other ingredients for Boudin Noir aux Pommes....."
"Then, let's go for another adventure?" I smiled at her. She returned my expression and nodded her head.
It is a good day. And I hope it will be for the upcoming days as well. Though I might've jinxed the state already considering I am about to be arrested as of now.
"Miss Marissa of Perla Grandeur, you are under arrest."

(kiss roulette!)
18 (i said the other one was 18 but i was wrong), some chilumi 4 u @audioletter
She never expects to run into him—though, at this point, perhaps she should.
The streets of Fontaine seemed a particularly odd place, but even odder is when he shows up again, a little later. Lumine is still rattled by his odd behavior, having handed off his vision to her as though they were trusted friends and not sometime-enemies.
With Paimon asleep, she'd walked the streets, trying to calm down, and found herself drawn to the aroma of baking bread from a cafe. Maybe she'd stop and eat for a bit, Lumine thinks. If the bread is good, she could bring some back for Paimon when she woke.
"Enjoying the local fare?"
She startles enough to nearly drop the bread to the ground, not expecting the cheery tone of his voice as he sits smoothly on the bench next to her.
"I was," Lumine mutters, stuffing the rest of the bread into her mouth before he can ask if she'll share.
"Well, I'm glad to see the traveler's not all work and no play," Childe says, and then he stretches, slings an arm around the back of the bench. Warmth seeps through his sleeve and into her back, and Lumine wants to roll her eyes. Oldest trick in the book.
He doesn't ask for any of her bread, doesn't say anything at all, in fact, seeming almost melancholy, as though there's something on his mind that he can't, or won't, speak of. As Lumine chews her pastry, she considers that maybe it's her turn to be surprising.
"I've got to go," she says, standing, and tries to suppress her grin.
Before Childe can respond, Lumine ducks her head, grabbing his face and planting a kiss on his lips. A laugh bubbles up in her throat, and she pulls away, enjoying the dazed expression on his face before she turns to go.
"See you later, Childe," she says, over her shoulder.

He has no knowledge of flower language. He does not know what to give her. The Oceanid would put on his thinking cap and made his watery brain work. It's been years since he had a go at it, but looks like he needs to get familiar with an oven again...
As Clorinde came home from work, placed elegantly on top of her dining table was...
Tumblr media
A lavish, delectable cake layered with moist chocolate topped with whipped cream and freshly picked cherries. There was a note haphazardly placed on the side of its plate, the sender was most likely in a hurry, it read:
Happy Valentine's, Lady Clorinde
From: Your Beau.
Tumblr media
Work was frustrating at the least. Ever since the Flood, the crime rate in Fontaine showed a dramatic increase: Underground turf wars, stealing, robbing, gang fights over supplies...the list goes on. Suffice to say, Clorinde really has her work cut out for her. She doesn't even want to think how much worse Neuvillette and Wriothesley has it if hers was this bad.
Quite often, the Champion Duelist would be bone tired by the time she got home and wanted nothing more than to curl up into bed. Sometimes even without having dinner. But things are different now with Basil in her life.
And today is a special day. So naturally, she should take the time to convey her affection and appreciation for him.
As Clorinde returns home, she is immediately surprised by the cake upon the table; easily noticeable even from far away, considering how she exist at bare minimum. With her companion moving in together, she can say that the place looks nicer than it has in ages. It's cozy...warm even.
The aroma of a freshly baked cake permeates the air and she is drawn in by the fragrance. In quiet awe, Clorinde admires the sweet treat for a beat. The layering of the cake, how generous and wavy the whipped cream swirls are, and the cherries...
"He made me a cake..." A smile appears on her face, soft and fond. "And to think all I got him were customised apparel."
Mentally resolving to thank the oceanic properly later as she helps herself to a bit of the cake, Clorinde catches herself humming in contentment. Looks like this day isn't half bad after all. @boomermania

So…. How are we feeling about the Fontaine lineup?
Leaks & opinion below
Tumblr media
Just gonna say I’m extremely underwhelmed. The color palettes for the characters in red are…. Lame. They’re lame. I can’t see myself pulling for any of these people except for Mr Judge and madam blonde on the end (and Lynette/Lyney depending on their playstyle)
I’m, frankly, very tired of the man/woman ratio within the game. I personally feel like churning out half baked female characters for the ‘waifu collectors’ is disappointing/lazy. I can already smell the ‘overworked woman’ plot points from here. It’s disappointing because I’ve been playing from the beginning and I can just see the trend of throwing together a character becoming more and more frequent. I think that Layla is a perfect example (along with Faruzan), her story is lazy, her personality is annoying and her design is… okay (I’m quite tired of the ‘cryo chars MUST be blue’ ‘electro chars MUST be purple’ etc).
When I saw the Sumeru lineup, I was optimistic and generally liked what I saw! I thought the clothes were unique, each character looked like fun, I was excited to meet them all. I’m not feeling that with Fontaine. Probably because it’s all women. I’m tired of half baked women.
Also, while I’m thinking about it, I’m disappointed with the Lantern Rite. It’s going to be Hu Tao centric ig and fun fact… I don’t really like her ;-; I know that all of the Baizhu fans and I were hoping to have a Baizhu-centric Lantern Rite. Shenhe had a great Lantern rite! She was brand new! we got to learn all about her and befriend her! So that made it exciting. This time it’s the same characters………again…. And 2 seconds of Baizhu… 2023 not off to a good start ;-;

11 + 19 for eimiko?
Thank you for the questions. We'd be happy to answer them. - Ei
11. Date night! If you had to come with a dream date with s/i, what would it look like?
It depends a little on whether this is a one-on-one date with her or one with the three of us together. I shall give you an answer for both. For the first option, baking with her and spending the evening reading together in front of the fireplace while enjoying the treats we've made is my ideal date with her. For the three of us... honestly, anything that ends with the three of us cuddling together - whether that means a walk, a dinner date, what have you. - Ei
Mm, I have to agree with that last point, my dear. Though, I'd specify that it's a picnic and then cuddling. As for just me and April? I quite enjoy those nights when we end up stargazing at the Narukami Shrine... and then we end up using our fox forms to get back home, which always is a lot of fun~ - Miko
19. What’s a memory with s/i that you’ll never forget? It can be anything really. Just try to stay positive, alright?
I'll go first this time~ It's difficult to come up with just one memory when we've shared so many beautiful moments together... but I'd have to say the first time she wrote a poem for me. It was rather cute, how shy she was as she handed it over to me. I'm certain that if I hadn't caught her, she would have left it there for me to find later. I would have missed out on how red her face got as she waited for me to read it... what a shame that would've been. Of course, I complimented her writing as soon as I was done. I can't have my little writer doubting her skills, now can I? - Miko
This is difficult... I'm torn between when we learned that she's immortal - meaning we wouldn't have to worry about time taking her away from us, or that time she learned how to make a few different Inazuman desserts instead of the regular ones she knew how to make from her time in Fontaine. It was so sweet of her to put in the practice to learn those new recipes and she looked all nervous when she gave me the results - like she was afraid I wouldn't like it. It was a rather cute look... but of course, they turned out delicious and now she'll make them for me whenever I ask. - Ei
Hehe, of course, yours ended up mentioning desserts, Ei. Anyways... thank you again for the questions! - Miko

just my personal rambles about how much i love fontaine utc ໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ ` ꒱ྀིა
i’ve literally been bottling up my sheer adoration for this country since we started getting hints at it and teasers; i share a mild connection with france itself as french is my second language and i spent majority of my childhood between marseille and london so i was so excited for a sense of familiarity in fontaine and i was also incredibly excited for the lowkey steampunk aesthetic they gave fontaine )):
so like first things first; the archon quest??? has left me gasping, shaking, bawling, on my knees choking on tears!!! and like the best part about it is that it’s only just begun <3 my favourite thing is that with past countries, we could get a feel where the archon quest plot was going. in inazuma you recognise that ultimately you’re going against the raiden shogun and you’ll fight her before you can ask her about your sibling and in sumeru it becomes obvious that the government is the problem and you need to free the dendro archon but in fontaine? where are we going with this?
what is the prophecy truly? is it from a curse from celestia? what about furina’s status? is she just another helpless archon drowning her sorrows in trials because if she doesn’t live in that moment she’ll remember the prophecy she undoubtedly believes in, knowing her people’s sins will never be washed clean? what about arlecchino? is there actually a good motive behind her or is there going to be a hidden twist when you least expect it? how the hell are we supposed to help fontaine from submerging? and what about childe’s loss of control for his vision? i’m SO EXCITED because i have so many questions and very little answers! (who knows i might update this with more questions after doing 4.1’s archon quest)
then there’s the soundtrack!! i don’t know about yall but i’ve been going idle in absolutely every place possible just listening to the music and the ambience. i’m absolutely in love with the underwater music, i have my favourite underwater song playing in my teapot and i sit in my teapot in awe every time <3 i’m so excited for future regions’ music and how these new locations may differ from what we have now (not to mention the range of orchestra instruments hoyo included in making fontaine’s ost!)
not to mention all the species! i love the clockwork concepts (especially the dogs pfft) but also just the animals in general??? the OTTERS?! the blubberbeasts and even the seahorses, the dogs that wear silly little outfits and birds that look like they came out of pokemon aaaa <3
the flowers !! pluie lotuses that i pick every time i see them because i would kill just to have a vase full in my kitchen window <33 and the rainbow roses that look more like tulips or the lumidouce bells that are like the lovechild of bluebells and lily of the valley ): i can’t wait to see more as an ex-florist who still clings to her relationship with flowers
melusines <33 need i say more? their quest regarding elynas had me sobbing and screaming honestly, i long for more lore about them - not to mention they are such funky little genderless creatures, i aspire to be them hehe - and more quests regarding them; like i physically need melusine content or i’ll be perishing ):
character outfit designs!! everyone just looks so good i’m sorry but there isn’t a single outfit i’ve even remotely disliked yet. everyone looks amazing, hot, baking some damn goods - like we got geo taylor swift and electro lana del ray, an archon with heterochromia, some elf looking ass man who could be a dragon - or an otter, i like otter more - the wolf looking mf who wardens a prison??? magicians in thigh highs, stockings, garters and boots?! with matching bows?! AND FREMINET’S WHOLE DIVER’S HELMET ORDEAL AND COLOUR PALETTE?? i can’t i’m too in love with everyone (and all their english voice actors are fantastic too!!)
the airships being the most fun thing i have ever seen in my whole life, i routinely go on the airship at the west slopes of mont automnequi because you can see almost all of our past locations there! you can see deshret’s masoleum, the divine tree, the jade chamber and (i think) dragonspine. not to mention you get a good ass look at fontaine and some things in areas we haven’t got yet - also you can see how close celestia is to fontaine… i still remember all the theories about celestia and mondstadt (╥ ω ╥)
being able to dive out of water with fontaine characters & hydro traveler (please please please let us dive with wriothesley and neuvillette, just because they’re the first two tall characters we’ve got i’m so curious if we can)
building a relationship with berrypuff ♡(੭´͈ ᐜ `͈)੭ proceeding to cry when we release berrypuffier and then cry again when you run into them in the wild <3 i’ve also grown attached to the dog in the ship graveyard, i go there daily to feed them chicken and i cook dishes while i’m there hehe
the dishes in fontaine!! i still cackle daily about fonta ૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა oh and salsa! she’s so annoying but at the same time i love that kid hehe
i could go on for too long aaaa.. i love fontaine guys. i thought i was sad seeing sumeru finally go but i think i may cry when it’s time to leave fontaine. i’ve never been so excited for a genshin region and plot since inazuma and inazuma has always been my favourite up until now. i think the only things i’ll be excited for after fontaine is meeting the tsaritsa and khaenri’ah <3

Hi Hi! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. May I request Eula, Keqing, Kujou Sara, Ganyu, Kokomi, and Ayaka (separate!) reacting to their usually overworked lover in their shared bedroom, with the record player playing some old songs and reader just dances to Fontainese Waltz very late at night? Also, female reader if you could!
Thanks so much! :3
An Overworked S/O Dancing to a Fontainese Waltz with Her
Characters: Eula, Keqing, Sara, Ganyu, Kokomi x fem!reader
Warnings: none
A/n: Ah please forgive me but for the sake of fairness towards every anon I can only do five characters so I decided to do the first five mentioned 😖
I’m also not very knowledgeable on the waltz? and I assume Fontainese means originated from Fontaine if I’m not mistaken? So I hope I am following the request correctly :,)
Tumblr media
• Eula being very accustomed to aristocracy, knew almost every step to dances the rich would perform to flaunt their nobility. Even if she had abandoned her old life as an aristocrat, she still knew every dance like the back of her hand. 
• Eula had noticed you getting home all grumpy and tired. She might occasionally have time to arrive early and cook you some sweets to cheer you up. Although that was quite rare. So instead thought it would be nice to unwind with you via dancing, one of her personal favorite pastimes. 
You came home practically limping, you were so tired all you planned to do was mope to your room and once your head hit the pillow you were out like a light. You didn’t even notice Eula standing hopefully holding a tray of steaming homemade desserts just for you. She watched helplessly as you treaded to the bedroom.
Sadly setting down her food she looked at it trying to muster up an idea to cheer you up. Normally just the smell of her baking was enough to make you smile and giggle with glee. She bit her thumbnail under stress, trailing behind you to the bedroom.
You barely noticed Eula, your eyes half shut as you were a second from falling asleep. That was until you heard a record player and the sound of smooth violins playing in sync. Your headshot up a the unfamiliar sound. Eula looking at you with soft eyes. “Come, dance with me,” she held her hand out to you.
You took her hand, readily getting out of the sheets. The sound of the music practically makes you forget about your fatigue and your duties. She took you by the waist, your hand floating to your side as you stared into her amber-colored eyes. “Step one-two-three-four,” she guided you. “One-two-three-four.”
Eventually, you got the hang of it without Eula having to correct your timing, you both swaying together in your small room. This was exactly what you had needed. “I made your favorite cookies downstairs fresh, if you don’t have some I might have to take vengeance on you for wasting my precious time,” Eula whispered in your ear.
Tumblr media
• Liyue was further in culture from Fontaine so she probably didn’t know how to do any sort of dance, however, she knew your particular fondness of their music and traditions. The waltz in particular, was very popular and seemed easy enough to perform.
• Keqing was by no means a dancer, but she was willing to try new things for your sake when she saw you down in the dumps. Once she put her mind to learning something she would surely go through with it even if her presentation was subpar. 
Keqing and you had just gotten done with a long day, both of you brushing your teeth and washing your faces. Keqing being particularly concerned about her appearance always finished later, leaving you to deal with your migraine as you waited for her to join you in bed.
You sat on the edge, your head burrowed into your hands as you applied pressure to soothe the pain. This cursed headache felt as if you were being split open. Keqing must’ve noticed from seeing you in the reflection of the mirror, her facial expressions softening at the sight of you in such pain.
She took a deep breath, making her way to your record player. It had collected a fair amount of dust from not being used so frequently. You were too absorbed in your own world to notice. That was until you heard the smooth sound of violins and piano.
Looking upwards you saw Keqing give you a stubborn look, turning her head away to hide her blush. “Hmph, Take my hand before I change my mind,” she said sternly. You took hold of it as she hoisted you upwards.
She swayed with you left and right in basic movements, nothing too fancy like twirling or too elegant. But the simple motion and effort she put into it touched your heart, making you momentarily forget your stress and worries. “I noticed you were offset the past couple of days. I’ll improve myself so you may enjoy yourself more frequently.”
Tumblr media
• Sara was as stiff as wood when it came to dancing no matter if it pertained to her culture or not. She was only a witness when it came to dancing, she would sometimes watch street shows of Inazuman dancing. When it came to foreign traditions she would struggle to grasp the concept.
• Sara noticed you were overworking yourself, she thought maybe just sitting down and listening to a disc of Fontainese music would cheer you up enough. When you asked her to dance with you she almost froze up, but your persistent nagging would eventually convince her.
The clock only struck 5 pm, it was evening but she had already completed all her duties for the day which was extraordinarily rare. Instead of taking overtime however, she decided to go home to you.
As she opened the door to your bedroom, she looked for you. You had to be in here, after all, you were nowhere else in the household. That was until she saw your resting body covered by blankets. She tried shaking you awake, she wanted attention surprisingly enough. “Wake up, it is only noon,” she whispered to you.
When you didn’t reply she knew one thing would work for certain. She knew how much you adored Fontaine’s culture, going to the corner of the room to the abandoned record player. With some small tweaking she managed to operate the machine, an acoustic-sounding guitar made your eyes burst open in surprise.
As your figure rose from the sheets you saw Sara stand before you, her arms crossed. “Awake now? I assumed you’d be after I played this record. It’s only afternoon let us go do something together,” you knew she didn’t mean dance. But waking up to such a greeting of music made you want to do nothing but dance.
Grabbing her hand with one, and her waist with the other you spun her around. Twirling around the room as Sara got easily dizzy. She gasped at your sudden jolt of energy from just a record player. “Woah, do not underestimate me. I did not intend for such an activity,” she tried to interject, but you ignored her pleas. You found her stiff movements where she almost tripped over herself quite entertaining.
Tumblr media
• Ganyu struggled to fit in even in Liyue, so when it came to traditional dancing and opera from Yunjin, she was only an observer. However, the Adeptus training was somewhat close to dancing, it was a step-by-step process, so it must’ve been somewhat easy. 
• She would notice you would come home, your bags drooping further and further every day. Poor Ganyu tried desperately to cheer you up, even if you might’ve given her the cold shoulder once or twice. She knew you were struggling so she tried to prepare a surprise for you.
You walked through the door trudging yourself through the house. You didn’t even want to eat dinner, it was straight to bed for you tonight. This had in fact been a trend the past week, you’d go to work, return for sleep, and repeat. Ganyu knew that struggle of overworking herself all too well.
She watched you repeat it over and over again, her shy figure always standing in the background as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t. Today was different however, she was going to say something, make you eat dinner, relax with her instead of immediately hitting the hay.
She shyly made her way behind you to the bedroom, her hands curled up in a ball holding themselves as a nervous habit. You had already tucked yourself in for the night. That was until you heard the sweet melodies of violins clashing with pianos reverberate through your bedroom, your headshot up in attention. 
Ganyu stood in the corner of the dimly lit room, looking at you with her head hung low. With an urge of mental confidence, Ganyu approached you with her hand out, pulling yourself out of the bed hesitantly. She was like a fairy, the light source igniting her figure and her motherly glow and warm hand exciting you to the core. “M-may I have the pleasure of dancing with you?” Ganyu asked.
You took her hand, her face and movements tensed up as she tried to remember what she had recited. You flowed together, awkward at first, but after a couple of swaying it felt natural. Your eyes calm as your bodies relax together. She rested on your chest as you two swayed left and right. “Being together like this is nice, if only it could be like this forever.”
Tumblr media
• Kokomi being the divine priestess has probably performed a couple of traditional dances to the people of Watatsumi. Her introverted nature and devotion to Watatsumi often got in her way from exploring other cultures. However, she was very poise and lucid with her movements. Learning the waltz for her was a walk in the park.
• Kokomi would sympathize with you, seeing you be like a robot waking up for a 9-5 and coming home just to repeat. She would want to prepare something special for you even if she was busy herself. She’ll even learn how to dance to your favorite genre of music for you.
The door to your home felt heavier as you opened it, your eyes barely open as your plan was just to go to bed and wake up for the next working day. You couldn’t remember when the last time you had a break from your busy season. Kokomi looked at you with her soothing eyes, she had seen this scene far too many times within her army.
She was fully capable of telling the difference between temporary exhaustion and permanent fatigue. You were even further gone, you didn’t even notice Kokomi watching your pathetic state as you shut the door behind you, not even undressing into more comfortable clothes for sleep.
Kokomi followed lightly behind you, her small frame curiously opening the door to find you had just plopped down on the bed without tucking yourself in. She had recently been trying to get into your hobbies, flipping through your records as she picked up books from the library about Fontaine and its dances. You heard a loud screeching sound before the record player began playing a smooth sound of pianos.
Your head jolted upwards, looking around the room to find the culprit to find Kokomi approaching you, her hand reaching for your cheek as she stroked your hair gently. She looked at you with empathetic eyes, she felt so pitiful that you were having a rough time, if only she could not only heal physically but mentally too. “Let’s dance shall we?” she said.
She grabbed both your hands, springing you up from your laying position as you both excitingly twirled around the room. Nothing fancy or too formal that she’s read about, just the idea of relaxing and taking life not seriously was enough to destress you even if it was momentarily. Her hands on your hips as she nuzzled her head into your chest, yours wrapped around her neck as you lie your cheek on her head. “I’ve practiced a bit through books, it’s strangely similar to strategizing. Can you tell?”

Being an older sister to Signora, Scaramouche and Childe.
Summary: As the 3rd Harbinger, you were always looking out for your fellow Harbingers and helping them. Or maybe doing chaotic shit with them.
Warnings: Alcohol.
A/N: hi this is just a bunch of hcs and imagine movies exist here :) also I made the dividers/borders a lil too big so uhhhhhhhhhh yea ill fix that later
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
La Signora
-Who do you think taught La Signora how to style hair?
-YOU DID
-Lets say there was a big meeting coming up when Signora first became a Harbinger. She had no idea what to wear, how to do her hair and she didn’t even know what to do for the meeting.
-And, being the nice person you are, you offered to help.
-So, both of you were sitting in her room, and you taught her how to style hair. You gave her fashion tips and bOOM look at the gorgeous lady she is nowadays.
-When you’re both free for a few days, then you like to go drinking with her and maybe some of the other Harbingers.
-if you're not a fan of alcohol/hate it then you both like to get hot chocolate or anything warm to drink since Snezhnaya is always cold.
-If you’re ever on a mission in Liyue, Inazuma or Fontaine (i feel like these cities have wonderful fashion ngl) You would definitely try to find anything Signora might like: Clothes, gifts, souvenirs, food, etc.
-When you’re both in one of those cities? SHOPPING 24/7 and just hot chocolate because at this point you both love it.
-I imagine Signora to be a bit of a sweet tooth so you’ll end up baking cookies, cake, truffles , etc with her. Sometimes Childe might sneak into the kitchen to steal some chocolate chips.
-if you catch him, you’ll tell him to wait until you finish the cookies.
-if Signora catches him, she’ll just scowl at him.
-Never get into a food fight with her because she can and will kill you for messing up her hair or clothes.
-Once you’re done baking, you’ll probably gather with the other Harbingers and watch a movie. You’ll sit beside each other, and she’ll remove her mask to let her hair down and so she can rest her head on your shoulder.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Scaramouche
-When Scaramouche first became a Harbinger, he was very distant and quiet. The only times he talked was to tell someone to shut up or to yell at an underling.
-Despite him being so distant, you kinda wanted to get closer with him.
-So, you offered to show him around Snezhnaya! You knew he was from Inazuma and that he didn’t know much about Snezhnaya, so you decided to tell him everything you knew about this cold city.
-The entire time, he complained about how cold Snezhnaya was and that he hated it.
-You weren’t annoyed by that at all, though. You were actually happy he was talking and not yelling or telling you to shut up. Sure, he was mad during the whole trip, but he was never gonna admit it felt nice to spend time with you.
-You two would talk over tea and he would tell you about Inazuma and you told him about Snezhnaya. The other Harbingers never dared to come, since he would just tell them to shut up or yell at them.
-You liked to think of the Harbingers as family, and you wanted Scara to be in that family too.
-So, after many tries, you got him to finally talk to the others.
-He connected with Signora and the others. Well, he still told them to shut up and everything, but they all knew he loved like family.
-He actually knows a lot about fashion, so of course he’s with you and Signora at times if you're all just tryna find an outfit.
-He doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, but that doesn’t mean he wont eat any sweets. He’ll help you bake at times, and definitely taste test everything.
-He won’t start a food fight with you, but will definitely continue one that you started.
-He will and can use his Vision just to get Childe out of the kitchen if he tries to steal chocolate chips.
-He’s not too fond of spending time with the other Harbingers, and would rather spend his time alone. But if you beg and plead, then maybe he’ll join movie night.
-Try to hug him while watching the movie? He will push you away.
-Don’t be surprised if he falls asleep on you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Childe.
-You were shocked to see a 18 year old become a Harbinger.
-He was so young!
-You asked Pierro when he had first joined the Fatui, and your soul left your entire body to find out he joined at 14.
-You vowed to try and protect this kid.
-You often came with him on missions, just to watch over him and protect.
-But with how the mission ended up, you didn’t need to protect him. He was strong.
-Doesn’t matter, you're still protecting him.
-He often trains with you because he wants to test his strength against a stronger Harbinger.
-You go easy on him but after deciding he was strong enough, you stopped going easy on him and it actually made him happy.
-You teach him a lot of new techniques, and you're always so happy when he learns new tricks.
-You buy him Narwhal and Whale plushies and he loves them. Doesn’t matter how old he is, he will always love Narwhal and Whale plushies.
-When he’s not with his family or on a mission, the first person he will go to is you. He will keep bothering you and bothering you until you’re forced to go on a walk with him in the freezing cold.
-In Liyue, you’ll spend more time with him then how much you spend time with him in Snezhnaya. There are a lot more places in Liyue, and it's so warm, so it's best not to waste the time you had there.
-You’ll often go for tea with him, and you’ll show him a lot of new places in Liyue.
-When baking, he will always eat the cookie dough, frosting, chocolate chips, etc. You slap his hand away when he does, but he’ll always find a way to eat it without you noticing.
-When it's movie night with the other Harbingers, it reminds him of when he had movie night with his family. He knows a lot of movies because of his family, so he always chooses which movie. Horror? Comedy? Romance? He knows all.
-Will definitely have his narwhal/whale plushie with him and he’ll snuggle up to you.

Little Bits of Love
Characters: Lisa, fm!reader
Word Count: 1,224
Warnings: None
Premise: General fluffy headcanons of being Lisa’s partner
Author’s Note: Put the whole thing in past tense because the idea of switching to present between anecdotes was killing me. Hopefully that doesn’t read too weird. Also hope I did Lisa proud. She is an absolutely amazing character after all!
Lisa
Despite Lisa’s reputation as the sultry, slightly sadistic, librarian that flirted her way through the day, the librarian held her love of books in high regard. After all, it was what she had decided to structure her life upon. Even more important than her sorcery, Lisa put the preservation and distribution of information over everything, and it was that love of knowledge that caused her to meet you.
Your interest in the minutiae of what you were studying immediately caught Lisa’s eye, and soon enough the two of your were chatting up a storm in the otherwise quiet library. Lisa agreed to send requests for more manuscripts out to Sumeru, Liyue, and Fontaine. Though Fontaine’s archives ended up being unavailable, the books from Liyue and Sumeru began their slow trickle in, and with the frequent visits to the library for pickups, you two grew into fast friends and, eventually, Lisa finally decided to ask you out on a date.
Though the two of you were often busy you managed to grab a few baked goods from a new stall set up on the edge of the center square of Mondstadt, and after an evening of perusing through the City and walking along the clear blue of Crystal Lake, the two of you had established yourself in each other’s hearts as the perfect partner.
One of the things you quickly learned about Lisa was her workaholic nature. Though she might joke around with her coworkers and put up an air of laissez faire compared to Master Jean, once Lisa had locked her in the library or in the office in your shared apartment it was nearly impossible for you to get her out of there. Some serious coffee and reading bribery had to be used.
Though you might not have been as naturally pressed to work as Lisa was, you certainly had your moments, when a deadline came up faster than expected or when a book was suddenly due tomorrow. Those days Lisa and you would usually end up doing a double all-nighter. Plying yourselves with enough black coffee to kill an Abyss Mage, the two of you set off to work, making sure to take the occasional stretching break. Somehow you two always managed to finish your work, though usually the weekend after these nights would be spent passed out on the couch, a discarded book sprawled on the floor.
When your relationship was first developing Lisa would notice sometimes that you seemed to be idolizing her, mostly due to her position as Librarian for the Knights. Though she was of course quite flattered, Lisa would take extra time to make sure that she showered you in as many compliments as you did for her. After all, you meant absolutely as much to her as she did to you, and she never wanted you to forget that. Regardless of job position, Lisa didn’t herself as any more important or special than you were. After all, you were, well, you!
She also made sure that her flirting never made you uncomfortable. Of course you didn’t mind that aspect of her personality; whenever Lisa flirted with you, you always lit up slightly inside, and you didn’t mind that she did so with other people as well. It was part of her nature, and if you couldn’t handle that then you wouldn’t have fallen in love with her, or agreed to be her partner. Nevertheless you had to admit, though it made you slightly bashful, you secretly loved whenever Lisa would shower you with nicknames and slightly sappy lines whenever she ran into you. You never felt jealous of the other people around you, you knew that your heart was always with Lisa, just as hers was always with yours.
Still it was sometimes funny to see Lisa play up the aspects of herself that had sort of sprouted from rumors. Especially when the two of you ended up tracking down errant people who had “forgotten” to return their books. Seeing as the Knights’ library was essentially a rare book collection, these instances could be very serious. Yet it was hard not to laugh at the sometimes ridiculously threatening manner that Lisa would ask for the books back. Inevitably the two of you word burst into fits of helpless laughter by the end of the day.
Life can still get in the way however, and inevitably there would be low periods for the both of you. Whenever you felt slightly down Lisa would immediately notice.
Sitting you down, whipping up some Mysterious Bolognese – the only dish she was really good at cooking – and pouring you a cup of coffee – made with a generous 90% cream and sugar – Lisa would ask you about what was wrong, and offer to do whatever she could to help.
If it was a problem then she would immediately try to solve it. At the end of the day Lisa worked with information, and the logical part of her brain was always ready to kick in and try to push past any obstacle in the way, both for herself and for you. If it was something more emotional then the day wouldn’t go by without at least 42 compliments to you. And if you told her you were feeling overwhelmed by the praise then she would back off, limiting herself to one note in the front cover of the book you were reading every day.
Speaking of food, Lisa’s relationship with cooking was, shaky at best. It wasn’t that Lisa didn’t admire and enjoy cooking as a concept – honestly who doesn’t – it was that she had never had the time to really buckle down and learn. At the Academy the meals had been provided, and then once Lisa had joined the Knights of Favonius there was really no time to take a break and learn all the intricacies of cuisine.
If you knew how to cook then I hope you’re ready for a lot of cooking, because it was really either that or pasta or a trip to the Good Hunter. Not that Lisa would be upset if you couldn’t cook, I mean she couldn’t either. Then the two of you would usually take a trip to the Good Hunter or to some other lighter restaurants in Mondstadt, making sure to plan everything carefully.
Though she might get the idea of a cooking date. After all, spending time making something wonderful for your partner to eat, what’s not to love? Although if the two of you end up learning how to bake a perfect biscotti and yet are still unable to use a top stove, well, you tried.
Sometimes, when you fell asleep before Lisa, the librarian would stare at the walls of your room. Letting her eyes pass over the books and the papers, Lisa would think about how lucky she was. There was no one like you in the world, yet somehow you had met her and had fallen as deeply in love with her as she had of you. Though Lisa thought of herself as more practical than anything else, it was moments like those that she let out a small thanks to fate and to Barbatos. A thank you for the love that she got to share with you.
A love that grew more and more every day.

Moonflower Act V
Priestess!Reader x Demon!Bucky
Summary: A morning conversation stirs up doubt.
Warnings: Angst
Act IV
Tumblr media
James continued to visit you. But that was only if your family was not at home. And that wasn’t so easy considering there would be at least one member of your family who would stay home with you. Those days when you couldn’t see James, you would sit glumly in your room, staring out the window, wondering if he was alright. 
“James,” You said on one sunny afternoon. You and James were in the parlor, sitting on an armrest together. Much to your embarrassment, James was once again wearing tight dark clothing, but this time without his torso exposed. Since you were sitting so close to him, you would occasionally feel his muscles brush against you. As if to rile you even further, whenever that happened, James would purposely give you a teasing smirk. You tried to ignore his constant teasing by looking at the sparkling moonflower ring instead. “What is the name of the inn that you reside at?”
“Fontaine Inn. Such a nice place.”
You perked up immediately. Fontaine Inn? That was the most famous inn in all of Larissa and like James had said, was quite close to the residence. A bubble of excitement began to rise within you.
“Well then, how about I visit you over there instead? I think it’s better that way since I’m not sure when my family would stay or go out.” But your excitement faded away when James quickly shook his head.
“I appreciate that Priestess, but it’s better not to get anyone’s attention over there. There has been more demonic activity recently and I don't want you to get in harm’s way or raise suspicion from humans,” He said.
You frowned. “Okay...how about we meet at a secret place instead -  “
Before you could finish, James held up a hand. “That wouldn’t work either. For we all know, that secret place that you want to go to could be occupied by demons. And if people saw you frequently at that place, they would see it as a suspicious act even though you are the Priestess. I know you’re already stressed out with your duties, so I don’t want to put you in that situation.”
Well, James did have a point. However you weren’t done arguing yet.
“But I can wear a cloak to hide my identity as the Priestess! I don’t think anybody would care if I go out like that.”
A cold finger was gently pressed to your lips. “No. It’s better this way. Please?”
As he withdrew his hand from your lips, you stared at him. He gave you a small sheepish grin, but you didn’t return it. You didn’t know why, but something in the back of your mind was telling you that there was more than what James had told you. But you weren’t sure. And you weren’t ready to confront him about it...yet.
With a huff, you reluctantly nodded and instead laid your head on his shoulder. James, in turn, wrapped his arm around you and kissed your cheek. One of his hands began to gently thread through your hair. You couldn’t help but give out a little moan at the sensation.
“My sweet Priestess,” He whispered as you closed your eyes in relaxation.
                                                                       ~*~*~
The scent of freshly baked bread woke you up. You winced when you tried to move around. Last evening was just extremely tiring for you and your family. It was supposed to be a pleasant walk. But then so many demons suddenly appeared and tried to ambush you. The ones who were much bigger than the average demon gave you a much harder time to defeat. They were able to withstand so many hits from you and your family that you nearly had to retreat. In the end however, with a combination of yours and Nicole’s spiritual power and the help of a certain demon (who was hiding in the darkness), you and your family were able to wipe them all out. 
But because you and Nicole used up so much spiritual power, the two of you were very exhausted. Nicole had passed out in Steve’s arms while you leaned onto Sam.
“Let’s go home,” Steve said quietly as he brushed a strand of hair out of Nicole’s face before gently lifting her up.
“Yeah, let’s,” Sam said in agreement as you quietly thanked him before gathering your strength again. “Hopefully there’ll be no more demons tonight.”
While your family walked on ahead, you stayed behind for a bit. When your family was a foot away, you looked back. Standing in between two trees was a familiar tall shadow with blue eyes staring at you kindly.
“Thank you,” you whispered.
You could’ve sworn you heard him say “Your welcome” as you walked away.
Oh James…
The blankets were thrown back as you finally got up, though your limbs were screaming from the effort. Perhaps some ointment and stretching will ease the pain. Last night’s fight also made you hungry, evidenced when your tummy grumbled as you inhaled the wonderful bread scent. It seems like Wanda made her delicious bread again.
You ran a hand through your hair as you stepped into the corridor. Voices could be heard from downstairs, presumably in the kitchen, but you were too tired to hear what your family was talking about. All you wanted was some bread and maybe some spread to go along with it...
“Is it me or is the Priestess being distant to us recently?” Pietro had asked. 
You froze.
“Well, it could be because of her stressful duties,” Clint said as he took a bite of bread. “Dealing with so many monstrous demons can do that to you, you know.”
Biting your lip, you stayed hidden in the darkness of the corridor and tuned into the conversation.
“Maybe, maybe not,” Wanda added. “Nicole, has your sister told you anything as of lately?”
“Not really,” Nicole replied. “She just checks up on me occasionally. I assume it’s because of her duties and Mother trying to set her and I up in arranged marriages.”
There were collective groans and you had to stifle a giggle. “Oh man, your Mother is still onto that?” Sam shook his head in disbelief while Nicole sighed.
“Yeah, I know. I don’t like it, at all. But it’s tradition, of course. I’m thinking of speaking to Mother about it though.”
“...That could be it. However I think there is more to that.” Your eyes widened. That was Steve. “Do you guys remember that night when a demon somehow infiltrated our residence?”
Oh Steve. His big brother instincts really were so irritating at times.
“Yeah, I do,” Clint replied. “...Come to think of it, the Priestess never told us what happened on that night. Where did she even get the moonflower?”
“That’s what I keep asking her,” Steve said, his voice taking on a serious tone. “But every time I ask her, she either hesitates or tries to change the subject. Which makes me think the moonflower came from that demon after all. I just hope that that demon didn’t do anything to her.”
“Oh...this isn’t good. He could’ve tainted that flower with demonic energy,” Natasha muttered. “Nicole, are you okay? You don’t feel different do you?”
“I feel fine, Natasha,” Nicole said. “I also feel like my spiritual power was rejuvenated.”
You could hear the relief in Steve’s voice as he responded, “Oh thank goodness you’re alright, Nicole.”
“But still...for all we know that demon probably did it just so he can get close to the Priestess before he kills her. Wanda, do you think you can set up a strong barrier around the residence for tonight?”
“Of course,” Wanda replied. “Anything to protect our family and if that demon tries to come in, I’ll kill him.”
Your heart sank. 
“It’s settled then.”
“Wait, there’s something else that I need to tell you guys,” Natasha said, her voice becoming serious just as Steve’s. “I also discovered something.”
There was silence before Steve spoke up, “Go ahead?”
“I saw the Priestess in the parlor one time. I tried to ask her if she wanted some tea. But it didn’t seem like she heard me. I assumed there was something on her mind. But when I came closer to her, I saw that she was holding a ring...”
Aughhhh Natasha?! Really??!!
You wanted to disappear into the darkness of your room and never come out. You had tried your best to hide the ring from your family, and yet in the end, it was discovered. Were you really so lost in your thoughts about James that Natasha just happened to see you with the ring on that day?
“Well, she could’ve just bought the ring,” Pietro had said. “After all we do go to those markets often - “
“No,” Natasha interrupted. “From what I could see, that ring is really expensive. There’s no way she could afford that. I want to believe that it came from someone within the royal family or someone from a noble family…and yet my instincts tell me that it came from the demon...”
More silence.
“I...I, oh gosh…” You had never heard Steve sound that nervous before. Even when facing the scariest of demons, he managed to stay calm. “First the moonflower, then the ring? You don’t think that demon bargained with her, do you???”
“Guys, guys,” Sam said hurriedly. “Why don’t we go outside, maybe talk a little walk so we can cool off? We’re all stressed out from last night and this certainly is a lot to take in. For now, it doesn’t seem like the Priestess is in any danger. But we’ll find out the truth later, okay?”
“Good idea. Some fresh air would be nice.” You pressed yourself further in the darkness as everyone got up and gathered at the front door.
“Nicole, wait, please.”
“Hmm, yes, Steve?”
Hoping that no one notices you, you peeked out from behind the corner. Nicole and Steve were  the only ones at the entrance now. Steve’s cheeks seemed to glow as he looked at Nicole with fondness. 
“Are you sure you’re okay, Nicole?” Steve said softly as he gently laid his hand on her shoulder. “I just want to make sure…”
Nicole smiled up at him as she took his hand into her own. “Of course, I’m fine, Steve. My sister definitely wouldn’t give me something that is dangerous. Please don’t doubt her. And even if she did have a secret, maybe she did it to protect us. Sometimes there are things that we aren’t ready to tell. But I will talk to her after our walk.”
“I know...I’m just worried about you and her since we live in a dangerous time...but I’m so glad that you’re alright.”
Steve ruffled Nicole’s wavy hair and she let out a laugh. Your heart swelled at the touching moment between them.  “Hey, don’t mess up my hair! Now I have to mess up yours!”
“Not if you catch me first ~ !” Steve stuck out his tongue teasingly at her before racing outside. The door closed as Nicole quickly followed suit. You stared out at that same spot for a few more minutes before letting out a frustrated sigh. Then you put your hands over your face. 
All of a sudden, you weren’t hungry anymore. The soreness in your limbs had seemingly faded away. Even the cute scene that you had witnessed just a few minutes wasn’t enough to erase the troubled thoughts building up inside of your mind.
You knew that someday your family was going to discover your secret. Trying to keep it to yourself wasn’t so easy with your duties and all. And all that delaying wasn’t going to last forever either. But how were they going to react when you tell them the truth? Whatever the outcome was, you knew it wouldn’t turn out so well.
“Priestess, are you alright?”
Oh no.
“J-James…” Your hands slid down your face in horror. “W-why are you...?”
He was dressed handsomely again. However, his long dark hair was rather wild, as if he forgot to comb it. If it weren’t for the situation you were in, you would’ve laughed at how silly James looked with all that messy hair. 
“I’ve...felt your distress from Fontaine Inn. I couldn’t help it. I just wanted to see if you’re alright…” There was a sympathetic expression on his face as he approached you. 
Pushing aside all doubts, you let out a sob and threw yourself into James’ arms. Tears stained James’ shirt, but it didn’t bother him as he whispered comforting words to you. One of his hands began stroking your hair while the other hand wrapped your waist. You didn’t care that his hands were cold, because these were the same hands that soothed you when times seem tough. 
“Oh James...I think my family is finally finding out what’s going on between us…what do we do?”
James didn’t respond at first. In fact, his hand had stopped moving after you said all that. All you could hear was the sound of his heartbeat. When you looked up, you saw that James’ expression was a mixture of worry and terror. 
“Oh my dear Priestess,” James murmured after a while. He leaned forward and kissed your tears away. Oh, his lips felt so nice. “I’m so sorry for letting this happen. I only wanted to help. I would never do anything harm to you and your family. However...I think the only way to fix this is to...perhaps run away with me?”
“What!”
You couldn’t believe what he had just said. Run away? To where? And in a world filled with demons and vengeful spirits that would never stop haunting their targets? You tried to see if James was joking in his mischievous way, but he was looking at you very seriously.
“James...you can’t be real! That means I have to abandon my family, my kingdom, and my duties! I can’t do that! That wouldn’t be…!”
“Fair.” James’ blue eyes softened. He gently pushed your head to his chest. “I know. I’m sorry. I’m just being selfish. I really like you, you know?”
Fair. Now that you thought about it, you realized that what you had said to James in return wouldn’t be fair to him either. You didn’t want to leave everyone and your duties behind, but you didn’t want James to be gone from your life either. Just why was life so complicated?!
You sniffled. “I know. I like you just as much. You’ve done so much for my family and I. You should come here and live with us. You’ve done so much for us. It’s the least I can do...”
“I would love to live with you and your family.” James led you to the parlor and set you down on an armrest. He grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around you. You muttered a “Thank you” to him as he sat beside you and laid his head on your shoulder.
“I actually feel like I’m the selfish one,” You said as you brushed James’ long locks. But you said it in such a hushed voice that you presumed James didn’t hear you. However, he looked at you and his widened eyes told you otherwise.
“Why do you say that, my dear?”
“Because I’ve been keeping quiet about the moonflower and about you as I know they’re going to get upset with me!” You were this close to pulling your hair out.
“I don’t think you’re being selfish.” As if he knew what you were going to do, James slid his hand over to yours. His cool thumb rubbed circles over your soft skin, which sent tingles down your spine. “Things are already tough for you. I...made it even worse for you…I apologize.”
“Oh James, don’t say that. It’s not your fault!”
“It is…” James murmured. “But if you do not want to run away with me, then the only other option...is to tell them the truth.”
You lowered your head in defeat. Right. That was the only other option and one you had been avoiding so much. 
“Do not worry, my dear.” James soothed you as he pressed a kiss to your cheek. “I am right here with you. I will even give them my explanation. It’ll be alright.”
Will it???
You have learned in the past that things never turned out to be alright in the end. Life was wonderful and yet at the same time, it was painful. It seemed like an endless cycle. You would’ve preferred where life didn’t have so much suffering, where everything could be so easy. Would a wish like that be granted?
“Priestess! Get away from him!”
Your blood ran cold while James flinched. Your family was back already?! How did you not even notice?! 
But...this was it. The inevitable had come. Yet, you couldn’t face them first. But slowly, oh so slowly, you looked up. Your family was standing at the entrance of the parlor. Their weapons were drawn while they all fiercely glared at James. Before you or James could protect protest, Wanda stepped forward, her hands clenched and her eyes starting to glow red. “No need to hide your presence from me, demon.”
