Klee's Day in Sumeru
Also known as the Worst Idea in the History of Teyvat
Thanks to my family for helping me with the concept and execution
CW: Fluff, Klee-typical chaos, maybe a little angst
A/N: This is just a little bit of fun while I try and recharge from my long fic. probably not my most eloquent work, but right now I just need a change in pace. This is also half HC and half fic in a weird sort of way
Characters: Klee, Albedo, Tighnari, Cyno, Alhaitham, Kaveh
Who the hell came up with this idea?! not me.. ok totally me and my family. was very interesting conversation
So... I can only see this happening if Albedo came to teach a class on alchemy and couldn't find a Klee-sitter
Someone decided that after the Good Hunter Stove Incident, Kaeya would not be the best person to Klee sit and Jean is just too busy and very boring. So to Sumeru, Klee goes
Klee is extremely excited and of course promises to be on her best behavior
But still, Albedo is taking the most explosive child known to Teyvat into a great, big forest. He had an inkling starting out, but it could prove to be a bad idea
Spoiler: Tighnari has no hair by the end of it
The trip started alright. Klee is a really good kid and very wholesome.
Both Klee and Albedo were very interested in the flora and fauna, all of which is completely foreign to both of them
Unfortunately, Klee has never seen a rishboland tiger and decides to go pet the kitty cat. After all, it looks like a big version of the cats in the Cat's Tail
When it tries to scratch her, she lets loose one of her treasures and sets a small portion of the forest on fire
Tighnari, being the wonderful forest watcher that he is, comes to the rescue
Klee then receives the worst scolding she's ever gotten before.
Tighnari tries to be gentle, because Klee is obviously just a child, but the menace just set a portion of a rain forest on fire (a part of Tighnari is secretly impressed)
He offers to baby sit because he takes one look at Albedo and his frazzled look and decides that there is no way Albedo is up to handling an explosive-loving child in such a green place
After a few days of instructing Klee on the dangers of the forest, he brings her to Sumeru City to meet Cyno, Nilou, and the others
Once again, Klee promises to be on her best behavior and this time she's determined to do it
Cyno, surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) adores her. She canonically plays TCG so they play several games, though he's saddened when she doesn't understand his jokes
On the fourth day of Klee's visit to Sumeru, Tighnari turns her back over to Albedo
It might have been the worst thing he could have done
While Albedo does his lectures, Klee wanders off. She ends up finding a supposedly out of the way place to start tinkering with her treasures
It doesn't take long for a few inquisitive Kshahrewar researchers to find her and decide to help
Klee is super excited because most people try to curtail her explosive making. The researchers seem to be more enthusiastic than she is, so she happily follows them to a lab where they get to work
Not long after, Klee and the scholars have made the biggest jumpty dumpty the world has ever seen. It's also the most unstable jumpty dumpty the world has ever seen
While the researchers are recording their work (as researchers do) and Klee is smiling so gleefully, it goes boom, destroying a several rooms in the Kshahrewar Darshan.
Thankfully, due to some magical shielding one of the smarter scholars set up (shielding made in case of more explosive experiments and research topics) and a clearing of near by rooms, no one was seriously injured
Alhaitham and Kaveh are the first on the scene--Alhaitham thanks to quick reaction time and Kaveh because he was heading in that direction to start with.
Alhaitham, one of the most calm and collected people in the Akademiya, lets loose a string of blistering expletives, before going on a lecture. Every now and then Kaveh nods his agreement.
He stops when he hears Klee crying and realizes that there's a kid in the corner.
Even the serious and logical Alhaitham softens. (such is the power of Klee) He goes over and awkwardly wipes away the dust from her face.
"What happened?" he asks her, trying to tone down his voice.
A situation so far out of his expectations has him on his metaphorical heels. After all, what the hell is a scarlet clad kid doing in a Kshahrewar lab and what the hell is exploding.
Klee explains, through hiccups, that Albedo was doing something and she was bored and that the researchers were helping her build a new and improved jumpty dumpty recipe.
At this point, Cyno and Albedo had reached the origin point of the explosion.
Cyno starts interrogating the researchers while Albedo checks Klee over for injuries.
When Albedo is sure she's alright, he pulls her in for a hug.
"You have to be careful, Klee. You could hurt someone."
"The nice people said it was OK. That I could build the biggest treasure ever."
Albedo just sighs and looks over at the cowering researchers. "You shouldn't talk to strangers, Klee."
"But everyone in Mondstadt is so nice."
Archons save me. She's just too innocent.
Soon, Cyno comes over to the two visitors.
"I'm sorry for the trouble," Albedo says before the Mahamatra can speak. "Klee loves making treasures, though she almost never sets them off inside."
"The researchers are taking full responsibility. They said they approached Klee while she was tinkering with something and asked her if she wanted help building something bigger. I, personally, am not going to blame her for the recklessness of a few researchers."
"Thank you so much."
"If you'd like someone to watch over her, I can do so. I don't mind taking time off if it prevents the demolition of buildings and the destruction of more forest land."
"Please. I still have several more days of lectures and I don't have the time to watch her."
"Then I'll speak to Lesser Lord Kusanali. Perhaps the Lesser Lord would like to meet such an interesting young lady. Would you like to meet the Dendro Archon, Klee?"
"Dendro Archon? Like Lord Barbatos?"
"Mhmm."
"Please, Big Brother Cyno!"
The last few days go without a hitch, with Klee spending most of her time learning Sumeru children's games from Cyno and Nahida.
Eventually, however, it is time to return home, where the dreaded solitary confinement awaits a wayward, wholesome pyromaniac.

Ok so
Gabriel is pretty chill in stressful/dangerous situations, right?
And being contacted by Mercury for a job didn't surprise him, obviously, he works for her. But it also doesn't happen in a frequency where he can't have a 4 month relationship and brush it off with a "I've been busy."
But his first question was "What kind of job?"
And Mercury immediately reassured him "Oh, nothing dangerous, darling"
Soooooooo....
If transporting a young blood witch (who she knew would be hunted by the council but she obviously didn't tell him that) out of fairborn territory and over two countries is a "not dangerous" job
if that kind of job was so usual that Gabriel knew exactly what they might need if it went sideways (like the front door suddenly not being an option anymore, or the gun hidden in his pizza box)
if it going sideways mostly just made him roll his eyes and curse (and hell, he reacted so quickly with the table at the Ozanne massacre)
Then what is considered a dangerous job?
But my real question is this:
Is Gabriel a Hitman?
