☆ Tartaglia seeks the thrill of battle first and foremost; romantic love has usually been second to that. Though after spending many months in a relationship with you, he’s seen just how enjoyable it truly is. As ideal as settling down would be, it’s a lifestyle he can’t yet enjoy because he’s a Harbinger and the nature of his job has him traveling often when he’s given a new mission.

☆ For those reasons, he can’t spend nearly as much time with you as he wants to, and he hasn’t told you of what he does for a living. You could dig if you really wanted to know the truth; he wasn’t going to stop you. But when you meet with him next and you tell him that you don’t think this relationship is going to keep working, he realizes two things. One: He likes you more than he initially thought, no longer seeing you as a passing amusement. Two: He knows more about you than you know about him, and what you don’t know is that he loves a good chase—salivates over it like a starved man at a buffet. 

☆ Tartaglia will be casual about the break-up. He understands it because his job has him traveling all over. He might even offer you a bashful apology to further smooth things over, telling you that you deserve someone with a more open schedule. And it’s a very calm break-up; you look so relieved after the fact. He treats you to one last meal before the two of you part ways for good, with you assuming all is well. Tartaglia offers you one final smile under the stunning lantern light in front of Liuli Pavilion. “See you later,” he says, his sincere features illuminated under the light.

☆ Tartaglia is not Tartaglia in your eyes. He’s always insisted you call him Childe. Childe was sweet and fun, always spoiling you and keeping you away from the Fatui for your own good. Tartaglia, on the other hand, is everything Childe did not show you: a ruthless, battle-hardened hunter who hungers for a good fight. It’s easy to use his time for missions to stalk you, especially the ones that place him in Liyue, where you’ve been living. 

☆ At first, you’ll think you’re seeing things when you spot a familiar head of orange hair amidst the crowded marketplace. But then you’ll catch him too often in your peripheral and it feels like less of a haunting and more like a tangible thing. 

☆ And then you’ll conveniently run into him, and he’ll be charming and sweet to you, acting as he always has, while he offers to pay for the fruits in your hands or take you to another restaurant for lunch. You take him up on his offers because who are you to decline good things? Despite being ex-partners, you can still be friends. 

☆ He becomes a stifling presence in your life. It will feel as though you’re always running into him, always accepting his goodwill, always leaving satisfied and pleased to know there is no hatred between the two of you even after the break-up.

☆ But then the line between friends and something unhealthy is crossed when he breaks into your home. Of course you don’t actually know if it was him. But there was a home-cooked meal left for you on the table (your favorite dish, actually), along with a beautiful, handcrafted accessory you had been saving up for, and you have an inkling that it might be Childe. But Childe isn’t like that; he’s sweet and harmless, right?

☆ You think you saw him standing at your bedside one night. You’re not sure how he gets in. You think you might be going insane because every night you think you see him he’s never truly there. But there are traces of him scattered throughout; you think he’s doing this intentionally—to show you that no one else is capable of tormenting you quite like he can. 

☆ So you play his game. You decide that you’ll stay up late in hopes of catching him and reporting him the Millelith. You even commission a Millelith solider to stand guard outside your house for the night, promising to pay him handsomely if he just watches over your residence for the evening while you remain inside, holed up in your room with a knife. You’re ready; you’re not sure what you’re ready for, but you’re ready nonetheless.

☆ Until you aren’t. At some point, you’ve slipped into slumber and when you wake next you find yourself pinned under Childe, who smells terribly of iron. There’s a faint speck of something on his cheek and you don’t dare look at his clothing, horrified at the thought that he managed to kill someone so stealthily and you never woke to a single scream. He smiles at you, a hunter having caught his prey, and you’re too frozen with terror to do anything but stutter through a myriad of hopeless questions. 

☆ “Cat got your tongue?” he asks, smiling down at you, and he plays soft so masterfully. But his eyes betray him. Empty and soulless—devoid of any form of warmth. Blank slates. It occurs to you that he’s holding your knife. “You should be more careful, you know... Sleeping with knives isn’t very smart, sweetheart.” He could use his Vision if he wanted to—could summon a pair of dangerous water blades and hold them at your neck—but there’s something much more exciting in pure physical strength and the sharpness of a blade not created by the elements.

☆ Twirling the knife in one hand, he runs the blade up the length of your nightshirt, the tip nearly at your throat. There’s a wild look in his eyes now, a crazed glint that tells of his true intentions, and the horror only allows you to plead in desperate whispers rather than attempt to fight him. 

☆ “Don’t be like that,” he says with a soft tut, having sliced through your shorts next, his free hand palming your most private area. “We’ve done this before. You know how I am in bed. I wouldn’t hurt you.” He exhales a breathy chuckle. “Too much.”

☆ When he slips two fingers into your mouth to coat them in your saliva, you almost bite down. You think he’s expecting you to do that because he laughs at you and says, “If you’re going to teeth, you’d better be prepared to be repaid tenfold...” You don’t have the bravery to test him on that.

☆ You will never see a bad side of Kazuha. It’s not that he actively hides terrible sides from you. It’s just that he’s always so sweet, polite, and patient that there’s never any chance for remotely bad things to slip through his usual demeanor. And since he always seems like the perfect partner, your relationship must have reflected that. It did, until you realized that the life of a wanderer is not very ideal for you, especially since you have friends and family that you’d rather not leave behind for extended periods of time. 

☆ So you’d made the tough decision to break up with Kazuha after nearly a year of traveling alongside him. If he was surprised by your admission, he didn’t let it show. Kazuha is aware that all good things eventually end, and so he tells you that the time he spent with you will always be valuable. He shall cherish the memories he’s made with you thus far and, should the wind will it, the two of you will meet again.  

☆ The wind must really wish for your paths to converge frequently, for you almost always find yourself stumbling into Kazuha one way or another. The first few instances were completely coincidental (or so you thought). He’d happened across you while you were fishing, while you were running some errands in the city, while you were eating breakfast with friends at your favorite restaurant.

☆ Though you thought each meeting was going to be terribly awkward, Kazuha was so friendly and his amiable nature immediately puts you at ease and warms your friends to his presence. He’d ask if it was all right for him to join, if it was all right for him to lend you a hand, if it was all right for him to accompany you on your walk home. And you’d said yes every time because how could you not when he’s so princely?

☆ You thought it was strange, the way he’d start to make appearances in your daily life so often you began to question whether he really intended to continue his lifestyle as a wanderer. When you asked him about it, he had smiled pleasantly and said that he was in the process of planning his next journey, which would have satisfied you if it didn’t feel so...uncharacteristic. Kazuha only ever plans the bare essentials, preferring to let happy happenstances guide him in his travels. 

☆ You’re not sure if it’s stress or paranoia or a mix of both, but you’re certain someone’s watching you. You feel eyes, but you never see them. You confide in Kazuha and he offers to be your guard for the time being. He’s skilled in combat; he can protect you. You agree, but it’s only because you know how well he wields a blade and utilizes his Vision. Still, you can’t shake the feeling that the eyes only ever cling to you when he isn’t with you. 

☆ Kazuha loves every side of you, including the ones that are most clumsy. He finds them to be endearing facets of you—facets that make you stand out amidst a crowd of many. He would never hurt you. In fact, it weighs heavy on his heart to know you’re so frightened. But he assures you it’s nothing. He says that the wind has a habit of making those who feel particularly guilty watched. But that shouldn’t be the case with you, right? You haven’t done anything that would warrant guilt, have you? It’s manipulation in the smoothest of forms; you never suspect he pulls at the emotional harp that resides within you, plucking strings to create a tune befitting a believable story—a story that makes him seem right each time. 

☆ The one night you’re afforded a break from everything is the night you find yourself drinking with some friends, drowning fears and sorrows in lively chatter and alcohol. Kazuha’s with you, as always. He had claimed it was to be there for you in case you drink yourself silly. At the time you said that that wouldn’t happen, but hours later you’re leaning on him for support as he helps you trudge back to your lodging for the night.

☆ With this close proximity, he can admire your lovely features without having to worry about looking impolite for staring so much. He tells you how perfect you look, but the words don’t quite reach your ears. You mumble something drunkenly, burying your face in his shoulder, and he can’t help chuckling. You’ve always been the cutest.

☆ Initially, he had planned to take you home and look after you until the morning sun rose or you had woken—whichever first—but with the way you’re rubbing against him, coupled with your very soft mumbles, has him redirecting your route to a secluded strip of alleyway in a quieter part of Inazuma City. He has you pressed against the wall of a building, the both of you shrouded in blood-red lamplight, with his knee sliding between your legs.

☆ At first you kiss him back, licking into his mouth with desperate, heated fervor, your arms thrown around his neck, and he relishes in the taste of you, even if most of you tastes like fine sake. But then you’re pulling away, placing your palms on his chest to hold him back. You try to look at him, but you’re so intoxicated that you sway, your eyes flicking all about him. 

☆ Your speech slurs when you tell him that the two of you shouldn’t do this. He looks at you like he’s working out a difficult problem. “Why not?” he asks, an eyebrow raising curiously. “I thought you loved me.” And you do. Wait. No, you broke up a while ago. You only see him as a friend now. 

☆ Kazuha still smiles even as you struggle to work through a coherent sentence, leaning in to press a kiss to your throat. He tells you of how much he loves you in all manners of ways: poetic, filthy, filthily poetic. His hands wander all over, squeezing you in the softest of places. He adores every inch of you, and though his touches once soothed you in the past you seem intent on stopping him.

☆ It does sting to know you’re so averse to him even in a compromised state, but you won’t be once he’s slotted himself inside you, keeping you pinned against the wall while he holds you up and ruts into you in the exact way you like. You can try to protest, but when your tongue is tied between objections and breathy moans the latter is quick to drown out the former. He’ll swallow all protests in sweet smooches. 

☆ By the end of it, he gathers you in his arms, holding your shivering frame against his flushed one. He asks if you love him. You say yes, but deep, deep down that’s not true. And the eyes that have pursued you for half a year now finally close.

☆ Azul had smiled through the break-up, nodding along and uttering words of understanding. He intends to look civil about the entire thing, but he certainly doesn't feel civil. 

☆ By his standards, two and a half years mean everything to him. Time is money, as they say, yet when it came to his relationship with you time felt much more precious and priceless. In the back of his mind, he always had his doubts and fears that you might leave him one day and he’d be all alone once again. 

☆ It’s fairly simple to keep tabs on what you do. He had been with you long enough to know all about your habits, the places you like to frequent most, the friends you talk to, and even what days you shop for groceries (which he makes note of in a journal). He’s a busy man, so most often he’ll send one of the Leech brothers (most likely Jade because Floyd prefers to approach you outright and that goes against the entire meaning of discreet) to track you throughout your day. 

☆ If you’ve blocked his Magicam account, he’ll just make another secret account. And another. And another. And another. He’ll make as many as he must in order to stay updated on the happenings in your online life, to see what posts you have been tagged in, to follow your digital footprint like a bloodhound. 

☆ Azul wants to make it seem like he’s moved on when he goes about his daily life, all charming smiles and pressed suits, and when he’s distracted with work it’s easy to temporarily forget about what ails him. But when he’s alone and he gives himself time to think, thoughts of you come creeping in. He’s had to stop himself from spontaneously texting, calling, even emailing you just to connect with you again so that he doesn’t look like a desperate, pathetic ex-boyfriend. 

☆ Azul won’t allow you to cut him out of your life. The two of you were meant to be together forever. Who else could have loved him, flaws and all, but an angel? Sure, you may have broken up with him as softly and angelically as you could (and he may have cried over it for hours later that same day), but that doesn’t make you a bad person. He still loves you, even if you hurt him, and he wants you to love him again. 

☆ If there’s something wrong with him, he’ll work to fix it. If it’s his looks, he can change his diet habits and eat less to become prettier and skinnier. He can change the makeup brand he usually wears for something you like. If it’s a certain part of his personality, he can bury it and pretend it doesn’t exist. He can mold himself to your ideals. He can become your perfect lover. Whatever it takes to be loved by you again, he’ll do it. 

☆ Azul thinks he’s dreaming when he gets a call from you, and it takes all of his restraint not to answer with a hasty confession of how much he’s missed hearing your beautiful voice. He forces himself to sound calm and collected and civil while you explain that you found some of his belongings in your apartment while cleaning and that you want him to pick them up within the next few days otherwise you’ll give them away. 

☆ Azul cannot contain his smile, nor does he realize how fast he’s agreed. He says he’ll stop by bright and early tomorrow morning. Nothing else matters in this moment. The frigid indifference in your voice doesn’t matter. The fact that you ended the call right away after that doesn’t matter. All that matters is that he’s going to be able to stand in your apartment and see you again after months of watching from afar. He’s so excited he’s not sure how he’ll fall asleep. 

☆ Your apartment is exactly how he remembers: comfortable, warm, and welcoming. You’ve put everything of his in simple, unlabeled boxes, which stings a little. Do you really dislike him that much that you’d prepare everything in advance just to avoid spending more time with him? 

☆ You can’t even look at him. When he steps inside with a kind smile, you greet him curtly and tell him to take his stuff. He watches you walk off to the kitchen to continue cooking a breakfast that smells so delicious. He’s always loved your cooking. Azul glances between the boxes and the kitchen that waits down the hall. He can gather his belongings later; right now he has to appreciate this moment and draw it out for as long as he can before you force him out.

☆ As usual, there’s a certain peacefulness that envelops you when you’re so focused on cooking, your back turned to him when he steps into the kitchen. He’s not sure how many times he’s fucked you against that very countertop, in this very room while you were preparing a meal, but he misses those moments of intimacy. 

☆ You don’t startle when he presses himself against you from behind, his arms caging you in against the counter, but you do attempt to shrug him off. You remind him that if he’s taken his belongings he should leave; you’ll even walk him to the door. But Azul doesn’t want to leave. He wants to stay here. He wants to be able to hold and kiss you again, and that’s exactly what he’s going to do.

☆ “I love you so, so much,” he’s telling you, mumbling it against your skin through kiss after kiss, playful bite after bite, while his hands slide under your shirt to fondle your perky nipples. You can protest and call him names all you want; soon you’ll be feeling too good to keep up those nasty insults. Soon you’ll love him again.

☆ It’s been so long since he’s been inside you—so long since he’s had you folded over on the counter, babbling incoherently through yet another orgasm, but it feels so nice to touch you, to hear you crying and moaning his name so sweetly, to smell you, to be with you once more. And though he may have made a few mistakes in the past, this time he’s going to show you every bit of his honest love, even the sides that are twisted. Since you’re his angelfish, you’ll accept him as he is, won’t you?

Beidou- The True

Warnings: cult behavior, obsessive thoughts, religion

Gender Neutral. I will always use "The Divine One," "The Original," and "The Creator" as terms for the reader along with They/Them pronouns unless specified otherwise by a requester

Despite everything, Beidou believes in you and your mercy

For a time she believed herself to have incurred your wrath, when that dog dropped dead after she chased it down

A hunter kills your creations for food, but she had never ever meant to kill it. Surely an accidental murder, a selfish person running down a dog until it dropped.... Surely they did not deserve mercy

But still she prayed for your help when she needed it, Beidou prayed every night for forgiveness until she was certain you'd forgiven her

Her life seemed to be looking up, she started praying instead to thank you

But then... The village turned on her, she had no home again... And she wondered... Had she failed you somehow?

Beidou eventually lead The Crux fleet, and my goodness did she thank you every day for your generosity

The Creator allowed her to keep living despite her hardship

The Creator gave her power

And how she wants to be your vessel, just like the Traveller!

Please, she'll lend you her sword, her fleet, her life

Whatever you need! Whatever you want! Beidou will give it to you, because you've been watching and protecting her this whole time, even when it seemed like you'd forsaken her

When you descend, she insists on offering you whatever the grandest thing she can get her hands on is

Thanks to her connections to Kazuha, she offers a beautiful sword

Thanks to the mora she could make as Captain, she offers you the finest jade jewelry

Thanks to her own life, gifted to her by You, she offers you stories, tales spun over the course of her years and experiences

Just... Let her thank you for all you've given her

✨ assorted genshin impact headcanons of assorted levels of brainrot to get the brainworms out ✨

- polyamorous kazuha. no time to be mono when you’re in a different country every week

- xingqiu has hemophilia. as he & chongyun are designed to complement & contrast each other, xingqiu is the yin to chongyun’s yang. apparently in the human body, whereas yang is associated with qi, yin is associated with bodily fluids, especially blood! so perhaps xingqiu doesn’t stop bleeding very easily as a result. just a thought i had based on some research!

- the raiden shogun is 8’, ei is 4’10’’

- heizou & yae miko regularly Go Into Town and Cause Mischief together. they get their nails done every 2 weeks and then go eat a bunch of fried food and raise one eyebrow at people they find attractive over the rims of their pink-tinted sunglasses. yae also occasionally leaves heizou books she thinks he’ll like

- heizou & kazuha get together at least once every two weeks and spend a full day on Fun Stuff. they just talk, go to nice places, eat good food, read poetry, play little games, solve puzzles, drink tea, etc, etc, etc

- enby spectrum gayzou

- chongyun has the biggest family you can fucking imagine. he’s on the younger side of middle child and has 9 siblings and half a million cousins

- stolen from a friend: rex lapis, guizhong, and madame ping were in a poly relationship back in the day

- xingqiu reads erotica for the plot

- rosaria, kaeya, & venti are besties. they go out drinking together on a regular basis and rosaria has to drag the other two back to their houses because she is the only moderately responsible one there and diluc sure ain’t gonna help their sorry asses

- i had an idea for a fanfic where diluc and kaeya very slowly start to mend their relationship via birds. basically the plot would be that kaeya has three beautiful peacocks that he absolutely adores but they don’t have anywhere to live so they just kind of wander around and he’s worried about them, meanwhile diluc has a hawk and two owls that people in mondstadt constantly chase away and hunters try to hurt. so they make a deal where if diluc gives the peacocks a place to live at dawn winery, kaeya will keep the owls and the hawk safe and I’LL WRITE THIS SOMEDAY I SWEAR

- rosaria is aroace

- alhaitham is neurodivergent and has misophonia bc i like projecting <3

- and lastly: once, when heizou was young and lost, he followed a deer with a unique marking on its side through the forest. it was thanks to that deer that he emerged from the woods again. i think it would be cool to connect this little idea to yōkai or supernatural stuff but i haven’t found much on deer-related folklore in japan, so if anyone has any ideas or info please lmk!

[naquey]

I figured I might as well start a masterlist while I'm at it because I never really had one before, and don't exactly know how to write one. No better way to whack at it, am I right?

Hi! You an call me Naqe or N. I'm aspiring to be an author and have loved writing since I was in fifth grade. It has been my passion for as long as I've known. I write fanfiction as a hobby, and am in college! Surprisingly, I'm fairly new to tumblr despite writing fanfiction for a long time. I started out on Quotev and just recently moved to AO3 under the same name Naqe. I deeply enjoy the fandoms that I am in and the fandoms that I discover.

Basic request and ask ethics:

minors DNI (if you see the above banner on anything nsfw that i've written and you still interact. I will block you)

dms are open to anyone 18+ (im 20 an DO NOT want to be talking to a child for any reason)

don't be an asshole: INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PROSHIPPING, BATCEST, OR INCEST (if i see you come to my page i will block your ass)

i will not write anything 18+ if asked {(only on my own accord) and even if I do, I use a place holder. No x readers}

no zenophobia, transphobia, homophobia

nothing pertaining to religions (think: religious themes) outside of black butler

i only write for male/gender neutral reader

nothing with yandere or mental illness (even if it isn't glorifying it)

Priorities / Heikazu / Genshin Impact

meant to write a oneshot of heikazu

ended up with a multi-chapter because i got VERY distracted and you can tell because the first half of this is literally just heizous thoughts LMFAO

Kaedehara Kazuha. A distinguished clan now in shambles, the last remaining Kaedehara marked a criminal and hunted under the Vision Hunt Decree.. A shame, really. When he asked what led to him becoming a criminal, it was the day a supposed ‘no-name’ had challenged the vision hunters to a duel. Of course, the decree had won, but before the vision could be collected, Kaedehara intervened. That brings more questions. What use would a dead vision be? Perhaps they were a friend of Kaedehara’s and that was why? Yet no one had seen Kaedehara near the battle until at the end, so perhaps he had not known until then? ..And now he was being hunted down near Ritou. Heizou groaned. And where was he in all of this mess? Solving cases such as where someone’s pet was missing! Not in some real time chase against one from the Kaedehara clan, who stole a vision from the Shogun of all people! Until now. --- OR, Heizou finds his interest in a certain samurai who is on the run from the Tenryou Commission's forces, and seeks to meet him before he's off the nation for an indefinite amount of time, yet perhaps it only succeeds in making him more distracted at work.

( a direct continuation of andromache’s story quest. ) cast of characters : jean, kaeya, diluc, rosaria, traveler, amber.

8. Favorite nation?

Gotta be Liyue. but Mondstadt feels like home.

9. Least favorite nation?

Inazuma. or Enkanomiya if that counts.

10. Favorite element?

Anemo in spirit, Geo in lore, Hydro in practice.

11. Least favorite element?

Pyro for petty reasons. why does my own pyro not fend off sheer cold on dragonspine. Why does fire (on grass specifically, after being hit by my own pyro) hurt pyro characters. i hate it

12. Favorite combos of element?

Dendro+Hydro (Bloom) + Bloom+Electro (Hyperbloom)

13. Favorite enemy?

those little squishy jellyfish mushroom guys! the cute ones! I also quite like fighting ruin hunters and pyro fatui agents (god i hope we get elemental variants of the pyro agents like we have with the electro/cryo cicin mages). i like fighting the black serpent knights too. nobushi/kairagi are my faves to farm.

14. Least favorite enemy?

samachurls and whopperflowers. theyre all bastards. i dont like the plain brown mushrooms in sumeru either. and spectres are still annoying as emotional residue from before they were nerfed

15. Do you kill animals when you pass by their sides?

yeah man always. need that meat. sometimes i cant be bothered to chase them but if i got a clear shot? goodnight sweet prince.

16. Walking or using teleport?

teleport. best feature of the game

17. Favorite mission?

destroy hilichurl towers. easy as fuck takes 10 seconds. simple

18. Least favorite mission?

defending slime balloons. the worst. that and whenever Lan wants me to do anything. find someone else i do NOT feel like going to guili plains.

19. Do you like gliding?

so much that im surprised and annoyed when other games dont have it

20. Who is the most useful character in your opinion?

Kazuha . baby i love that i can use your E in mid air . i love you

21. And the least one?

diona . hatred simmering

22. Your favorite character’s design and the least one?

Venti. Kuki

23. Bow, Sword, Polearm, Claymore or Catalyst?

polearms have my least favorite designs on average, but i like polearm characters.

24. Your party formation? (DPS, Healer, Tank, Support)

for my main party, tanky support, dps, sub dps, dps

25. How much lucky are you with Wishes?

it varies widely. i dont have average luck it's either really really good or devastatingly bad

26. Do you usually focus on your mission or you go around to find items?

i grab things on the way to wherever i'm going, if possible

27. How much do you cook? If you do it.

once a week mainly for the battle pass but probably more often in general than i think

28. What is your Adventure Rank?

57 (almost 58. probably 15k away)

29. And your characters’ level?

all of my characters are 70+. a large handful are 80 and my 6 or so mains are 90

30. Something you like in general.

every character's fighting move animations are unique, even amongst similar weapon types and character models

31. Something you dislike in general.

artifacts. artifact grinding culture.

32. Something you’re waiting for.

playable dain <3

33. Domains or Bosses?

bosses !!!!

34. What do you think of Paimon?

i dont even call her emergency food because that seems too much like a friendly in-joke. if there was an option to play genshin without paimon i would take it. sorry paimon

35. A random headcanon.

zhongli was fine with seafood before the archon war but having to defend liyue from ocean attacks on the shore made him associate the smell with Badness

Teyvat's Beloved — A Grand Reaction

< Prev | 5 | Next (TBA) >

You obviously couldn’t just take the main road and walk into the camp, not with everyone chasing you down.

Then again, it’d be far more suspicious if anyone caught you trying to take an alternate route, since a river cut off any other routes. You’d have to swim through and ask Ember to dry you off the best it could.

Unless you icebridged across.

If all monsters treated you as they had, then you could easily request a cryo slime, Whooperflower, hilichurl or samachurl to freeze a path across—you’d just have to carry Ember. Or maybe Eos could harness some elemental energy and create a cryo-infused swirl, then you’d not even need to ask.

You slammed a fist into your hand. Maybe you were the protagonist of a ghibli movie. Step aside Snow White, a new Disney Princess is in town.

Eos and Ember looked a little confused at your sudden brightness but excitedly chirped anyway, happy you were in a better mood.

…

You managed to slip past the main road and back into the sparse treeline on the other side, where you hoped to be mistaken for a simple traveler or hunter and left alone. Surely security wouldn’t be so tight that they’d flag down every single person they couldn’t see the face of—actually, maybe you shouldn’t jinx it.

From the game, you remembered there being a researcher and some knights in the area. You scanned the area as you moved to a more secluded area. You just needed to get somewhere between the camp and the knights and quickly across, act confident and nobody should trouble you.

With the cliffs to your back, the path curved from the camp’s sight and the river at its thinnest, you turned to you faithful companions. “Eos, do you think you could make a path across?”

Eos chirped and bounced around your feet in response, ready and eager. It settled in a spot in front of you and began to pull anemo and cryo toward itself, before surging forward with it, as far into the water as it could. All at once, the energy released, creating a giant swirl that put the Kazuha Slash to shame.

“…What the fuck” was all you could say.

More than a small patch or thin path, the entire section of the river in front of you had frozen near solid. And in the center, Eos looked up at you, practically shining in pride and—you couldn’t help it—you burst out laughing.

Fuck, you were probably drawing as much attention as Eos did, but you couldn’t help it. Quickly scooping up Ember and squishing it to your chest, which it was happy for, you hurried across the path, grinning down at Eos, who chirped in confusion.

“Wonderfully done, Eos!” You grinned down at it, mask thankfully showing your bright smile. Eos chirped in response, bouncing along, easily keeping up with your hurried steps as you all rushed to escape the scene before anyone came to investigate.

A figure hummed to themself as they watched you leave.

…

From your spot, it wasn’t exactly easy to figure out a path to Albedo’s lab. But! You had a big brain and knew one piece of information you could take advantage of: Albedo spent much of his time investigating Dragonspine and its mysteries.

And what had you, well, Eos, just done? Caused a large and abnormal elemental reaction that surely caught the alchemist’s attention (and perhaps his imposter’s).

Though you probably couldn’t approach him openly, especially since the other side were probably already checking out the area, Albedo surely would be able to track you down in his home turf, which hopefully wouldn’t spell your end.

Albedo would listen, you told yourself, Albedo will explain. He had to, you had no other hope.

Push come to shove, you could take back his Cinnabar Spindle and artifacts until he behaved. Clearly you’d had some kind of effect on this world, you could leverage Albedo’s curiosity and offer yourself as a research subject if you had to, like the Traveler had.

“Now what do we have here?” Oh god, you knew that voice. That wasn’t Albedo. “And to think the Acting Grand Master had been so sure the Hypostasis had killed you.”

Memories of those kind winds flashed past your eyes, a once unknown rage consumed your thoughts. “How dare you. Beth would never—” You quickly cut yourself off, realizing who you were dealing with; Cavalry Captain Kaeya, one person you’d counted your blessings not to encounter.

You knew he was far more dangerous than he seemed.

“Beth?” He hummed, seemingly more to himself than anything. “It seems you care for it quite a bit.”

Be careful, you reminded yourself, this is Kaeya’s element.

“Well, at least Beth didn’t try to kill me for breathing,” you snarked. Don’t give him anything he doesn’t already know. “Can’t say the same about Mondstadt.” You crossed your arms with a huff. “Donna should just go back to talking about Diluc all the time.”

“To be fair, she talks about the Darknight Hero as well.”

“You know damn well that’s the same—” Ah, shit— “...thing.”

You’d given him what he wanted and you both knew it, though Kaeya’s smug expression certainly would have covered that if you didn’t.

Kaeya shifted his weight onto one leg, waving a hand in the air. “For someone who claims to not know anything about their crime, you certainly know a lot about Mondstadt.” He leaned in. “So how about you give me the real story.”

Before you could say anything, your slimes reacted for you, unable to take your discomfort any longer. While Ember curled up closer to your chest, Eos lunged at Kaeya—a leveled dps with a maxed weapon and good artifacts.

Time slowed down.

Kaeya summoned his blade, his vision lit up.

Eos closed in, releasing a war chirp.

You wrenched your eyes shut, squeezing Ember closer, whimpering in fear.

Something heavy hit the snow.

Silence.

One moment passed, then another. And finally…

A chirp.

You hesitantly peaked an eye open, then, you blinked, wide and owlish.

Eos cheerfully bounced atop Kaeya’s prone body, looking to you for approval.

You opened your mouth, closed it, and opened it again.

Once more, what the actual fuck?

49. "I spent this whole time loving you, and what did you do? Have you ever loved me just as I have loved you? You can't say this now- not now that-" + Kazuha + Angst to fluff (or just angst but my heart's gonna break)

“I love you, I missed you, so-”

“I spent my whole time loving you, and what did you do?” you interrupted KAZUHA, eyes boring into his with a huge sense of burning in the very depths of your soul, reflecting very well in the orbs of your eyes. “Have you ever loved me just as I have loved you?” tears form in the corners of your lids and you could see the same with his, but there’s no backing down now. With a much softer voice, you continue, “You can’t say this now-not now that-”

“Don’t.” he stops you, looking away from you just in time when you’ve tried to make contact with his.

“Don’t say it.”

“I have to.” you say gently, a pang in your chest as you continue, “I’m married now, Kazuha, whether you like it or not. You were gone, and I thought you weren’t coming back.”

He looks at you again, plum eyes tinted with sadness, a sight you’d never thought you could ever inflict upon him ever since you were children, but all has changed.

His lips broke into a smile, but they weren’t reaching his eyes nor did it felt pleasing at all. “Gorou is so lucky to have you.”

And when he turned away, you never chased him like you did before when you were little kids, nor when he was running away from the Vision Hunters, leaving you all alone.

But now, he’s the one who was alone, not you. Ironic, isn’t it?

A Poem For You

Fleeting romances in the court of the Raiden Shogun, whose reign stands eternally still...

Spring - 春

"In Naniwa Bay, now the flowers are blossoming. After lying dormant all winter, now the spring has come..."

-Wani of Baekje

• The old tales warn of kitsune: yokai that take on forms of handsome men and beautiful women to play tricks on the unsuspecting humans. When they are careless, however, their disguises slip, and one can see a tail or two poking out from under their robes.

• Or, in the case of your soldiers' archery instructor, Gorou, a pair of large, fluffy ears emerging from his hair.

• There are whispers of a general in the rebel army far in the mountains, who has the features of a fox spirit and the slyness to match. Thankfully, the army lacks valuable intel to proceed, and cannot move forward without the use of spies.

• You blink and, in a shimmer like dust on sun-baked earth, the ears are gone. The gentle afternoon breeze rustles the leaves, and he nocks his arrow and lets it fly.

• Perhaps you were simply imagining things?

• Gorou, who guides his trainees with a strong, reliable hand, steady as stone,

• Gorou, who splits arrows in half as they fly, vowing to protect you always,

• Gorou, who smiles fondly at you as you walk through the gardens of your estate, holding your parasol to veil you from the sun, would never betray you or the great shogun. Would he?

• One warm spring night, where the dew still drips from the sakura flowers, he sits with you on the rooftops. His round lazuli eyes meet yours, and he tells you, truthfully, that he'll be leaving soon. Won't you join him?

• Your heart stirs to agree, but you respond that you cannot abandon your duties to your family, or to the shogun. He looks disappointed, but gets up from his seat, telling you that he accepts your decision. “If you ever change your mind,” he begins, but stops when the look in your eyes makes it clear you can’t.

• But you didn't know that "soon" meant now.

• Papers stolen from your family's most secret rooms are rolled up in his hands. His plain clothes melt away to reveal the uniform of the rebel army. The foxlike ears you thought were a dream now rest on his head, clear as day. 

• Most striking of all, however, are the nine tails shimmering behind him- the mark of a fox spirit that’s accumulated centuries of magic.

• Your eyes can’t quite catch the way he leaves, and you’re not sure exactly when you became alone in the night with the flowers.

• Or if you’d imagined the saddened way he said goodbye.

Summer - 夏

"The spring has passed, and the summer comes again;

For the white robes are spread to dry on the Mount of Kaguyama."

-Empress Jitoh

• You do not know who keeps sending these letters, despite your best efforts. Only that they must be a refined noble of high status and excellent taste.

• Each cut of paper, beautifully bound, is dyed the right color to match the season. They are appropriately adorned with fresh sprigs of plants from the sender's garden, or tied with a luxurious ribbon of patterned silk. Lavish scents drift off the pages in a perfume that's sweet and light.

• Oh, and the words.

• The appearance of these gifts pale in comparison to the contents. The mysterious admirer has learned the alphabet borrowed from Liyue, and the complex brush strokes are applied with just the right deftness that each kanji character shines.

• Your beauty is eternal, they proclaim, like unmelting snow on summer mountains, and strikes the heart like a bolt of lightning. In your luminous eyes, the ideal of your god has been met- a thousand times over...

• As dizzyingly romantic as it is, one thing gives you pause, as you lift your own brush to write your reply.

• "Your god," it says. Not mine.

• Who would know the secret etiquette of the court so intimately, to the point that other suitors' letters paled in comparison... and not worship the immaculate Raiden Shogun, much less take an interest in you?

• Then you are sent in your clan head's place to deal with the troublesome Fatui that have slipped past your nation's defenses, and you find your answer then. Their leader wears the traditional attire of a traveling nobleman, and wields his weapon with aristocratic grace.

• His underlings fall rather quickly under your hand, but he himself is annoyingly persistent. He darts out of the way of your attacks, but it takes all your power to stop his from striking true.

• You do not get his name, only his face- fair and clean and luminous, with delicate features twisted in cruel amusement. 

• It’s a shame that you must marr it with your blade, but what can be done?

• Then, he glides past you, close enough to whisper in your ear, and completes the poem no one has seen but you. 

Autumn - 秋

"Even in the age of almighty gods unheard of;

The waters of Tatsuta are dyed in crimson red."

-Lord Ariwara-no-Narihira

• It is time for the great procession- an event of fanfare and decadence, where you and your family must travel from your ancestral home to the domain of the immortal shogun to display your wealth.

• Despite the excitement surrounding the occasion, you know quite well it is nothing more than a way to maintain control over the lords of Inazuma.

• But no expense must be spared if it means preserving your reputation. If it means that no other family dares question your wealth. Not in travel, not in housing arrangements, not in entertainment, not in the hired guards to protect you on your long and arduous journey.

• And so, after you pay the Kaedehara clan the exorbitant sum they demand, they give you twenty able-bodied samurai under their command... including Kazuha, their youngest son.

• The servant girls- and some of the boys- traveling with you blush when he passes, observing his lithe form and gentle eyes and striking, pale blond hair. One streak of red is visible there, calling to mind a sole maple leaf in autumn.

• Kazuha does not join in the other samurai's revelry. While they cheerfully indulge in the food and drink provided to them on the journey, and boast of their prowess when the time comes to fight bandits hiding on the path, he remains silent and alone, his eyes only on his collection of handwritten poems.

• (And, when you aren’t looking, they shyly flit to you before looking away.)

• In the end, however, Kazuha is the only one who actually bests a bandit in combat.

• Late at night, when the others are sleeping off the wine, large shadows flit past the trees. The bandit clans in the area thrive during this time, like hunters when beasts migrate in droves. They're confident that this traveling party will be easy prey.

• But one thief approaches too rashly, too quickly, and one crimson eye opens to meet him.

• Kazuha drifts from one opponent to another like a leaf falling from its branch, carried by strong winds. And yet, none of them can touch him. One after another, each man collapses with a sharp cry, only their silhouettes visible in the darkness. 

• In the morning, the traveling party awakens to see fifty-some criminals tied up and piled up in a heap, and bursts into laughter. As the other samurai are still hung over, it’s clear who was responsible for this.

• Yes, Kaedehara-kun is a wonderful samurai. Skillful, composed, brave. And an excellent companion to have by one’s side, if one is lucky enough to have met him.

• It was quite the shock to learn that he would later flee the islands, sailing onward to the Land of Contracts aboard the ship of a pirate lord.

• But if anyone had the strength of mind to defy the gods- wouldn’t it be him?

Winter - 冬

"In winter, the early mornings. It is beautiful indeed when snow has fallen during the night, but splendid too when the ground is white with frost..."

-Sei Shonagon

• Lady Ayaka is one of your closest friends, with your families being in a partnership for centuries. You have fond memories of playing together in the snow, with cranes flying overhead in the white sky.

• You know her secrets, and she knows yours. Nothing is kept between you- this is how you survive in a court of treachery and lies.

• So when she passes by in a sunlit hallway, you hear a whisper that shocks you to the core. Smooth silver hair floats past your sight, quiet as snow, and just as fleeting. But you must collect yourself quickly, for spies may lurk behind any silken screen.

• You will be betrothed to Kamisato Ayato, your dear friend's older brother, in ten day's time.

• As close as you are to Ayaka, Ayato has always been a shadow flitting in the corner of your sight, being too busy with his duties to see you. So his visage- to you- is as featureless as a field of snow.

• After all the romance novels you've read, it's difficult to accept marrying a man you've never spoken with, but... what can be done? You can only hope that Lord Ayato is kind and treats you well.

• But... what if he isn’t?

• Lady Ayaka would never speak ill of her brother. In fact, no noblewoman would even consider such a notion, even if it were true. Good appearances, on every level, are more important to nobles than gold. 

• But all the same, you’ve seen the ladies of the court who are trapped in loveless homes like birds in cages. How their smiles are painted on, how their laughs ring hollow and empty, how they glance longingly to the world outside, beyond the lavish court that hides them here.

• Your gaze drifts towards the harbor, where the water shimmers with light. You could run away, too. To the eastern mountains, where your former archery teacher hides with his fellow rebels- although to do that would invoke the shogun's wrath. Or, riskier still, follow Kazuha's path to the harbor, and chase him on to Liyue...

• “Young Lord Kamisato is waiting for you,” a servant says, breaking you from your thoughts, and bowing hastily before you can meet her eyes. The servant across from her does the same as the paper doors slide open, and they do not rise as you walk through.

• This room is airy and spacious, of course. Wind from opened windows seems to sigh as it passes over you and beyond, and you can smell flowers from the garden carried in from the breeze. How strange... even a garden that you played in countless times seems completely new and unfamiliar.

• Gracefully, soundlessly, Ayato emerges from behind his ornate screen. Power and elegance flows from his every movement. And at last, you dare to look at what you have never seen before.

• You look at his face, finally revealed before you, like translucent ice giving way to the land beneath the white...

• And gasp.

Author's Notes

Wani of Baekje: Each opening quote is a poem by a famous Japanese author, but Wani was a scholar visiting from Ancient Korea!

Great procession: Known in Japan as sankin kotai. Powerful lords were forced to spend massive amounts of money to travel from their homes to the shogun's castle and back; in this way, the shogun was able to keep them on an efficiently tight leash.

[daughter-of-royalty]

Out-of-DL!Kazuha Headcanons

[Admin!Danny: OH, BOY! Prepare for this one, because there’s much more pain for Kazuha than Mystic. And her story changes a lot due to the lack of a father.]

ᴋᴀᴢᴜʜᴀ ʟᴀᴜʀᴇɴᴛ, ᴛʜᴇ ғᴏʀɢᴏᴛᴛᴇɴ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇss

After Kazuha’s father dies of a mysterious and incurable illness—alongside his family (except his brother, who was killed in war)—the crowd turns to her mother, Elle Laurent, a powerful witch with blood connections to the royalty. They accuse her of having created this sickness, spiteful of the family’s treatment to her and her daughter.

The accusations, though untrue, created a violent crowd wanting to kill them both in retribution of Kazuha’s father’s family.

This forces Elle to run away with Kazuha and go into hiding for a long time. The luxurious life they knew under the care of their husband/father is left forgotten as they find themselves sleeping in slums and rundown, abandoned homes.

Elle had been kicked out of the status her parents had left for her in the family before they passed, due to having a child out of wedlock with a man “not fit” for her. So, after they were scared out by an angry mob threatening death for both, they really had nowhere to go.

From then on, Kazuha adopted her mother’s name: Laurent. She refused to let go of the name his father had given her. Making her: Kazuha Laurent. She does tend to use “Kassandra” as an alias when out in public.

Kazuha was decently young at the time this all went down, having the appearance of a kid midway down their teenager years.

By then, her entire personality had been built. Like always, she is poise, calm and collected, but a hothead. She does tend to think things through before acting—that’s how she was raised, after all—but will blow up without notice.

The kicker here being, Kazuha doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty now. She would still prefer not to, if given the option. But she will if she has to. And she will make it as enjoyable as possible for herself.

The more the mother and daughter pair venture through the Demon Realm, Kazuha learned of an underground kingdom directed by none other than that one maid who took care of her and then went on to become he uncle’s lover.

She sent a letter via one of the Familiars (who are basically the only companions they had after being chased out). After receiving a response, welcoming into the kingdom, the family reunited at last.

Kazuha is still the little girl DJ took care of and Elle is still the same friend she had all those years ago, but now they look battered. Their clothes are shabby and nothing like the fancy dresses they wore once in the past. They themselves are covered in grime from head to toe, setting to questions just when was the last time had a decent bath.

DJ demanded for answers as to how they ended up like this and Elle proceeded to answer, causing the Queen breakdown in tears out of pity for the two. At that moment, Kazuha saw something she hadn’t in a long time: her mother crying, desperately clinging to her old friend.

The cousins relationship is rocky as always. They have good and bad days—much like siblings—but the fact that they would give their lives for the other has never changed.

Kazuha takes care of correspondence in the castle and sorts it out for the queen and king. All to have something to do as a thanks for taking them in. Now she didn’t have to worry about hers or her mother’s safety every time they laid to sleep. She didn’t have to worry about what they would eat or how they could get it.

I’m still not sure if she will start those business of bounty hunter (where she would hire Mystic to work for her), but it’s very possibly that I make it happen.

Summary: In a twist of fate, Kazuha is reunited with his friend after he thought he had died. (TomoKazu, Canon Divergence AU)

“What are you thinking, Tomo?” Kazuha muttered to himself as he ran across the bridge leading to Tenshukaku. A wall of soldiers stood ahead of him but he barely gave them a glance. His only thought was to reach the courtyard and save his friend. Has the fight already begun? Would he be able to intervene if they were in the midst of the battle? What if he was already too late? He pushed the last possibility from his mind and he forced himself to focus on the fight ahead of him.

He thought of the day the Vision Hunt Decree was announced. Baal didn’t provide a reason for why she decided to take people’s visions, whether they were given by her or another archon. Most went into hiding to avoid the hunters because they knew that it was impossible to challenge a deity. Tomo was the only exception.

Kazuha and Tomo were already wandering samurai when the Vision Hunt began and they knew how to easily avoid the hunters. He believed they would continue travelling together and they would keep each other safe. He was confused when Tomo told him that he needed to return to the city. While he didn’t tell him why he wanted to part ways, Kazuha trusted his strength and he didn’t try to stop him. He was certain that they would find each other again.

Now, he wished that he had asked him to stay by his side.

He heard rumours that a tall blond man with an electro vision had challenged the Raiden Shogan. While the description was vague, he instinctively knew that the person was Tomo. He was one of the few people to receive an electro vision before the hunt started. Was the challenge connected to the reason he returned to the city? He should be aware that losing would mean divine punishment.

Kazuha didn’t know if he should describe his friend as incredibly brave or reckless. On the other hand, he was the same as Tomo. The moment he learned that Tomo could die, he ran to Tenshukaku without thought to the danger. He gripped the hilt of sword and he drew on the power of his vision. He had always been careful to hide his vision but he used it without restraint now.

Please, let the wind carry me to Tomo in time, He prayed to Barabatos to give him the speed to reach his friend in time. Kazuha manipulated the wind around him and he used its force to make himself faster. He could see a group of guards before him and he drew his sword. With a powerful leap, he flew above the men’s heads. He turned his body in the sky and he created a vortex around them to immobilize them.

He landed gracefully but his feet touched the ground for only a moment before he flew forward again. Kazuha didn’t bother to look back to the men chasing him to see if they were close enough to grab him. He ran up the looming staircase, taking two steps at a time. He could hear the clashing of swords ahead of him and the wind told him the battle had already started. The journey to the courtyard at the top of the steps only took a few minutes yet his dread made it feel like an eternity.

Finally, he reached the duel. He forced himself not to call Tomo’s name because he didn’t want to distract him from the fight. He bit his lip hard enough for him to taste blood. Kazuha unsheathed his sword and he searched for an opening where he could save Tomo. The moment he stepped forward, a broken blade fell to his feet. His heart sank even before a voice declared the end of the duel.

“You have lost and you shall receive divine punishment.”

With those words, Kazuha felt as if the ground had turned to water and he was dragged beneath. He couldn’t breathe. His mind was racing and his body moved quicker than that. Kazuha jumped forward to protect Tomo from the Musou no Hitotachi but a hand grabbed his arm to stop him. He didn’t take his eyes off Tomo as he thrust his sword backwards to force the man to let him go.

“Tomo!” He yelled and he instinctively reached out his hand to him. Tomo started to turn around to face him but Kazuha couldn’t see the expression he had. Lightning came between them and his senses were overwhelmed by its brightness. He blindly stumbled forward and he prayed that he would be able to reach Tomo. No one had ever survived divine punishment but he didn’t want to accept his friend was gone.

Kazuha continued to call his name even as lightning rained onto the courtyard, hoping to hear him respond. A vision skipped across the ground until it slid to a stop in front of him. He picked up the vision and he realized that it belonged to Tomo. The violet hue flickered and his heart sank. Once the vision bearer dies, the light in the jewel would fade.

“Archons, please don’t take Tomo from me.” He knew the plea was pointless when the only god who could hear him was the one who issued divine punishment. Far too late, Kazuha realized how important Tomo was to him. How could he not realize the truth after travelling with him for years and only once he was gone? “I love him.”

The purple vision in his hand glowed brightly for a moment and then a lightning bolt struck the wood next to him. Kazuha saw that the thunder had stopped a guard from taking his own vision. The fight was over and their eyes were now on him and his vision. He needed to run. He couldn’t absorb his grief properly with the situation he was now in.

Grief and shock made his body stiff but he managed to collect himself enough to stand once more. He pushed himself to his feet and he ran from the courtyard. Using the nearby tree, he climbed to the roof of the gate where the guards couldn’t reach him. He evaded the archers with his agility and he wove through the arrows they shot.

In the corner of his eyes, he saw a cart driving along the other side of the wall. He jumped off the roof and he used his wind to control his fall. Kazuha landed in the back of the cart and he hid himself among the boxes. He was hidden but far from safe so he kept his sword in one hand. His other hand held the grey vision and he slowly ran his finger over the golden frame.

Kazuha covered his mouth in a hopeless attempt to stifle his emotions. His friend was gone and he had been too late to save him. He wasn’t even able to see his face one last time before he died. A hundred different emotions clashed together in his heart but, strangely, not one was anger. Tomo was an honourable man and he likely chose to fight for what he believed in.

He looked down at the vision in his hand, the last thing he had left of Tomo. A vision was one’s ambition and Kazuha wondered what motivated Tomo to challenge a goddess. Perhaps, he could keep him alive by fulfilling the dream that once lit the vision. Unfortunately, the vision didn’t give him a hint of what the answer could be. “Can a masterless vision be revived by someone with a similar dream to Tomo?”

“The guards chased the samurai to the port but they weren’t able to catch him. He escaped with the challenger’s vision. He stole a small boat so I doubt he will survive the journey overseas. Though, I apologize that we weren’t able to recover the visions.” Sara reported the events that followed the duel to Baal. She kept her head lowered out of respect but she noted how Baal stared at the man’s body. “Shall we contact his family so they can give him a burial?”

“Very few have survived the Musou no Hitotachi.” Baal mused out loud and stood over his body. She remembered each person she had gifted a vision to and she recognized him during the challenge. He had a strong will and that hadn’t changed since she first gave him a vision. In the chaos of her attack, she saw how he held onto life long enough to save his friend. The man had succumbed to his wounds shortly after the samurai jumped over the castle’s gate.

Baal stared in the direction that the samurai had escaped. Throughout the centuries she lived, she witnessed the varied way people reacted to death. She was all too aware that nothing was truly eternal. She had seen gods die and countries fall for empty reasons and their own hubris. “In this world, there is only one thing that can withstand the turn of time. The concept of immortality and eternity is far away from even Archons. The others have been quite fickle with their power but I will correct that. An ideal eternity for everyone.”

She drew her sword once more but her intention wasn’t to fight. Sara had watched her wield her sword countless times yet she sensed a different power now. While others saw Baal as a tyrant, Sara didn’t question her Shogun’s intention. She had been the one to train her and she came to know her as more than just an Archon. Baal wanted to give her people a better life according to her values.

Small sparks fell from Baal’s sword before she languidly swung it down on Tomo. The blade only grazed his clothes though. She sheathed her sword and she turned away to return to the castle. She gave the passing guards the order, “Tend to Sara and the man’s wounds. The man should wake shortly.”

“I don’t understand, My Lady.”

“I cut the connection between his body and his memories. His body will return to before he was struck by the Musou no Hitotachi. This will be his second chance at eternity.” Baal explained with a disinterested voice. Even as she revived him, she doubted he could impact eternity nor the future she had planned. “He will wake without his memory so you must explain everything to him. Tell him that he is free to do what he wants after his wounds heal.”

Sara started to walk after her but a low groan stopped her. She followed the voice to the man lying on the ground, struggling to stand once more. The power of a god never ceased to amaze her. He glanced around the courtyard with confusion in his violet eyes. The healers began to heal him and Sara watched over them. She had won the duel but she recognized the man’s strength.

“Can you remember your name?” She asked. He was in too much pain to answer her and his only response was to shake his head. “I believe the person called you Tomo. Your life has been saved by the Electro Archon, Baal.”

“Then, I owe her my life. I must thank her. Is she still here? I don’t know anyone by that name.”

Tomo’s mind felt hazy. He couldn’t recall what happened before he woke, no matter how much his memory. Images sat at the edge of his recollection and far out of reach. He searched the courtyard for a familiar face but he only found himself among strangers. The only thing that stirred his heart was a maple leaf laying on a broken sword. The red hue was oddly familiar and comforting.

“Under normal circumstances, it is rare for commoners like us to obtain an audience with the Raiden Shogun. The Kamisato are a powerful family and they oppose the Vision Hunt Decree. It might be possible to ask for their help.” Kazuha told Aether as the ship sailed closer to the island. The salty breeze washed over him and he adjusted his hood around him.

He wore a large cloak to disguise himself. After he stormed into the castle, he became a wanted man and he thought he would never be able to return to his home. He was caught between feeling nostalgic to see Inazuma’s unique landscape but he was also reminded of the love he lost. Time had helped Kazuha heal from the loss. Yet, there would always be a part of him that missed Tomo.

Kazuha hoped that Tomo’s family still lived with the resistance and they would allow him to visit his grave. He subtly slipped the extinguished vision from his sleeve and he turned it between his fingers. He thought he would be able to hold onto his friend’s memory by continuing his dream and reawakening his vision. Every attempt had failed and he was beginning to fear that it was impossible. Should he bury Tomo’s vision at his grave rather than continuing on a hopeless journey?

He didn’t know what the right choice was and he carefully tucked the vision back into his sleeve. For now, he would help Aether be reunited with his sister and find answers to the questions he held. It was possible his quest would answer Kazuha’s own questions about eternity.

“The officers will search the boat as soon as the ship is fully docked. It’ll be troublesome if they find a fugitive hiding on the boat. I know of a cave hidden in the cliffside and we can use that to evade the soldiers. I will create a wind for us to glide there so follow me closely.” Kazuha nodded towards the large cliff they approached. He was a wandering samurai and he knew the kingdom well. He thought of the adventures he went on with Tomo.

Kazuha watched the shore carefully and he waited until they would be hidden by the other ships. He climbed onto the ledge of the ship and he signalled for Aether to do the same. With his vision, he created a discreet wind that could carry them to the cliff. They glided towards land and they stayed close to the water where they wouldn’t be seen easily.

The wind shifted around them and he sensed a powerful force falling towards them. He grabbed Aether’s arm and he quickly redirected their flight to avoid an arrow. It grazed his hair and he was certain it would’ve struck them if he hadn’t sensed it. The sudden change of their flight made them both dizzy and he did his best to keep them from crashing into the water.

“Paimon, hold onto me!” Aether yelled. He held out his hand towards the water and he summoned a vortex in his palm. The wind fought against the water and the force it created blew them back into the air. Then, Kazuha used his vision to push them towards the beach.

They crashed into the sand and they rolled to a stop. Kazuha sat up and he touched the vision in his sleeve, worried that it had slipped out during the chaos. He let out a breath of relief once he felt the cold jewel. He wasn’t able to relax for long before he heard footsteps behind him. With a hand on his sword, he stood and faced the person.

He recognized her immediately because it was impossible for him to forget the person who defeated his friend in that fateful duel. His eyes didn’t waver as she nocked her arrow and aimed it at his heart. Kazuha held no malice towards her for fighting Tomo. However, her loyalty to Baal and her vision hunt stole people’s freedom. He could never forgive that. Tomo would’ve never challenged an Archon unless it was to stop their oppression.

“How can one forget; Such a cold gleam in your eyes; Without doubt and guilt. Do you ever question your Shogun’s decree? You must’ve heard people’s tears and pain countless times during your vision hunts yet you’re unmoved by them. Can you not hear them or do you merely ignore them?” Kazuha addressed her with a sarcastic smile. His next words were a whisper to Aether. “Run back to the ship. I’ll keep her from following you. Go, Sara is a powerful foe.”

“What about you, Kazuha? We’ll have a better chance of defeating her if we fight together.” Aether argued. They hadn’t known each other forlong but he couldn’t allow Kazuha to face someone so strong by himself. He only returned to Inazuma because he asked for his help.

“This is a personal matter to me. She was present at the duel that took my friend’s life.” For months, he buried his grief and anger but he couldn’t suppress them now. They emerge to taint his usually calm voice. He was relieved that Aether nodded in understanding. “Thank you, Aether. Tell the captain that I will find another ship to return to Liyue.”

“We both know she’ll yell at you for that message.” Aether gave him a weary smile before he turned to run back in the direction of the port.

Kazuha moved to stand between him to prevent Sara from following Aether. Her arrows moved as quick as lightning but he wouldn’t allow a single one to pass. They stood with their weapons drawn, waiting for the other to attack first. She had an advantage while fighting at a distance due to her arrows and he needed to close the space between them quickly.

A movement over Sara’s shoulder caught his attention and he assumed the person was another vision hunter. Kazuha shifted his stance and he prepared to fight multiple enemies. The man stepped out from the shadows of the trees. For a moment, Kazuha stopped breathing and his grip on his sword became lax. The world spun around him and he could only anchor himself by staring at his familiar violet eyes.

“Tomo?” He whispered his name. “Is that really you, Tomo? How? It’s impossible to survive the Musou no Hitotachi. I saw you die.”

Kazuha took a hesitant step forward, afraid that he would lose the illusion of his friend if he moved too close to him. He lowered his sword and he forgot the battle. His pace gradually grew quicker as he approached him and he could see the detail in his face. He had dreamt of reuniting with him for months. The Tomo before him appeared far too real to be a trick.

He was still trying to process the fact that Tomo was alive and he didn’t notice his strange behaviour. Tomo gave him a suspicious frown rather than the welcoming smile he often showed him. When Kazuha broke into a run towards him, Tomo reached for his sword. He couldn’t draw his weapon before Kazuha threw himself into his chest and circled his arms around his neck. He was taller than him and he needed to stand on his toes to bury his face into his neck.

“You’re real. I thought I would never be able to see you again. I’ve missed you so much, Tomo.” He felt warm tears fall onto his skin. Tomo was confused by the person’s reaction to him and he wondered whether the man knew him before he lost his memories. He couldn’t see his face while he was clinging to him. Slowly, he lifted his hand and he touched the anemo vision pinned to his scarf.

“Sara, I’ll deal with this man. You’re faster than me so you should go after the other one.” His words finally made Kazuha look up again. He realized that Sara hadn’t attacked them when she had the perfect opportunity while he was distracted with Tomo. His eyes moved between the two and a sense of dread fell over him. They were far too calm in each other’s presence even though she had been his opponent at the dual.

“Are you working with the vision hunters now?” Kazuha gripped his scarf and he pulled it out of Tomo’s hand. He knew he should run but he couldn’t bring himself to move. He only found him again after months of believing he lost him. What happened after he fled the castle for Tomo’s eyes to become so cold? “Baal is a tyrant and she has no right to take people’s visions!”

He didn’t understand what caused Tomo to agree with the vision hunt, especially after he lost his life challenging the decree. He hoped he could make him see reason again. Kazuha took out his eletro vision from his sleeve and he pressed it against his chest. “Do you remember how you received your vision?”

The vision reacted to Tomo and it reawakened with a purple glow. The blinding light sparked a memory of falling lightning for Tomo. His head began to throb and he closed his eyes against the pain. A scene played in his mind but they were too short and chaotic for him to make any sense of. He was laying on the ground. Thunder rained around him. His hand was outstretched to his vision. Someone picked up his vision and disappeared into the lightning.

“You stole my vision.” Tomo wrapped his fingers around Kazuha’s hand and the vision. The light of his vision grew stronger and sparks of electricity formed between them. For months, he felt as if there was something missing in his heart and the reason could be the man standing in front of him. “Isn’t it a little hypocritical to challenge the Vision Hunt when you took mine?”

They had travelled together long enough for Kazuha to sense the moment he would summon an attack. He kept a firm grip on the electro vision as he jumped away from him. Kazuha manipulated the wind to circle him so he couldn’t take either vision he held. He was conflicted between protecting his vision and not wanting to fight Tomo.

“I didn’t remember anything from that day until now.” Tomo swung his sword down on the barrier of wind. “I won’t let you run away with my vision a second time.”

“Do you not remember me, Tomo?” The realization made Kazuha hesitate and he briefly paused his control over the wind. Tomo broke through the barrier he made in those short seconds and he closed the space between them. Kazuha blocked his attack and he caught his sword against his blade. The force of his strike forced his feet to slide backwards but he kept his footing.

His back hit a tree and he was trapped by the weight of Tomo. His red eyes slowly became more familiar to him. In his memory, this man stole his vision yet Tomo didn’t feel angry as he looked into his eyes. “Tomo, stop! You’re my friend and I’m not going to fight you. I thought you had died when I took your vision. You have to remember me. My name is Kazuha Kaedehara and we travelled together for years.”

Meeting Tomo again, only for him to have forgotten their time together, felt like losing him a second time. Kazuha angled his sword so Tomo’s weight would follow the changing momentum. He slipped from beneath his body but he couldn’t run away. Tomo recovered quickly and he swung at him again. The only thing Kazuha could do was block or evade his attacks.

“We sailed to Watatsumi Island together. You tried to catch a fish with your hands and fell into the water.” He listed more memories they shared together. He prayed they would help Tomo remember him. The longer the fight drew on, Kazuha became more tired. A powerful swing knocked him to the ground. Tomo straddled Kazuha and his weight kept him from standing or running away again. They were both breathing heavily, exhausted from the fight.

He reached for the electro vision still clutched within Kazuha’s fist. He would soon have his vision again yet Tomo still felt as if something were missing. A feeling of emptiness and loneliness lingered within him. He looked into the stranger’s familiar eyes, as if he would find an answer in their autumn hues.

“A vision is one’s ambition and it should not be taken away from its owner. I know this better than most. I should return your vision to you. I want to.” Kazuha struggled to put words to the different emotions washing over him. He lifted one of his hands and cradled Tomo’s face in his palm. His eyes were more beautiful than he remembered. “For the longest time, your vision was the only thing I had of you. I’ve been holding onto it for so long that I can’t let it go easily.”

“My ambition…” He echoed the words and Kazuha nodded with a sad smile. He closed his eyes and he tilted his head back, signalling that he wouldn’t continue to fight. Tomo could kill him and take back his vision. However, his hands began to shake around the hilt of his sword. Something within Tomo stirred and he felt another memory creeping to the surface. How did he receive his vision?

Kazuha expected to feel the sting of Tomo’s lightning. He only felt the light breeze caused by the sword dropping next to him and then there was a brief warmth on his closed eyes. The wind told him that the touch was Tomo’s kiss. Confused, Kazuha opened his eyes and their gaze met. He could see recognition in his violet eyes once again and hoped blossomed in his chest.

“My ambition was to protect the people I love. That’s all I wanted to do. They would’ve chased you for your vision until… I needed to stop them but I was the one who… I’m so sorry that I hurt you, Kazuha.” Tomo whispered and hugged Kazuha close to his chest. While memories could fade and visions stolen, Tomo’s emotions and the bond that connected them was eternal.

“You should take responsibility for these wounds you gave me by treating them.” Kazuha said and there was a small smile on his lips. He was too happy to have Tomo back to be angry. He fought against his sore muscles to return his embrace. “My ambition is to travel the world, boundless and free, with the person I love. Maybe we can make each other’s dreams come true.”
