Please, (I Need You to) Marry Me!
--Your inheritance is at stake and there are too many suitors lining up at your door....But good thing you find the perfect conspirator!
Character: Zhongli (ft. F!Reader)
Notice: SFW. Not the usual elegant format. Just thoughts that needed to be indulged in. Apologies for any grammatical errors as this had been written during work hours.

Imagine being the sole heiress from an affluent family that ran a successful shipping business in Liyue. Shortly after Rex Lapis's death, your parents encountered an unfortunate accident. They had been en route home from Inazuma when a storm had caused their ship to sink causing them to lose their lives. It's during the preparation of the funeral that you learn that a will has been left. It's revealed that to gain your inheritance and become Matriarch, you must find a spouse of noble birth. If not, then your clan's wealth would be kept by your Mora-hungry relatives. Upon hearing this, countless individuals have been vying for your attention and proclaiming their love and admiration for you. Your distant relatives are shameless enough to send their own children as 'recommendations' as your spouse, all to get a portion of your inheritance. During your parents' funeral preparations, you are introduced to the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour alongside her right-hand man, who you swear to be the most handsome man you have ever seen. In the few times you had met, the man had always carried himself with the elegance befitting of a nobleman—furthermore, his voice and handsome face were just icing on the cake. You approach the funeral consultant and propose your idea: A contractual marriage. Of course, you two briefly go over the terms. The said brunette seems to be contemplating how to reject you properly…that is, until you vehemently promise to maintain a relationship devoid of affection, all the while providing for him. He may keep his job, live in your expansive residence, be attended to by dutiful servants, and spend chests upon chests of Mora. All he has to do is act like a dedicated husband. Additionally, you even offered to compensate him an absurd amount of Mora after two years then the two of you would dissolve your marriage; This seems to catch his attention, and after a few minutes of pondering, the man accepts your proposition. Excellent news, right!? Well…Yes, that is until an uncle of yours begins questioning your husband's origins (Jokes on you, he's above nobility…and mortals). Another relative of yours is questioning the credibility of your union as you and your husband have yet to provide an heir after a year of marriage. You take this all in stride, but the consultant doesn't take kindly to such accusations. When rumours of you being barren and that you merely married the funeral consultant for his handsome visage goes around (…Um, Well…They aren't wrong?), you experience a scary side of your usually calm and collected (fake) husband when he addresses their concerns. It's only after the date nearing the end of your contract that Zhongli confesses that he's unable to carry on with this farce. He's fallen in love with you despite trying not to. How can he not when you incite a supposedly foreign emotion that comes to him so obviously and naturally? He wishes to pursue a real relationship with you--a real marriage--, and he begins by telling you his real identity.
What do you mean, you're REX LAPIS!?

Chapter 7 spoiler

I have reached a point in my life where I have watched WAY TOO MUCH XianXia Chinese dramas and related media to verbally say out;
"700 years old? that's still quite young"
Don't worry, Lilia, you still have more years to live... at least that's what I think.

“Furina is a true Archon unlike Zhongli who doesn’t do anything and just left Liyue to die for a “test”?
Oh my fucking god. I swear people cannot FUCKING read. Zhongli has been alive WAY LONGER THAN Furina, has seen countless wars and had to witness the death of many friends. And the “test” people keep downplaying… He wanted to make sure Liyue was PREPARED to fight major threats AND IF THEY WERENT READY HE WAS PREPARED TO PROTECT THEM. I’m sorry, I love Furina, but holy fuck some of her fans are more annoying than Aether Harem fanboys. And she’s not even that bad! She’s one of my favorite Archons because her story is so interesting! Right after Nahida and Venti! Her design is beautiful and she’s an amazing character! I know Furina catches more hate than other Archons, but my god, we do not need to drag other characters down just to push her up!
These people are not Furina fans. They’re just haters of other characters.

so I finally got the friendship level for kaeya unlocked that talks about his adoptive father's death/vision...
oof
It makes perfect sense why he's the way he is now though. I also really like that he told diluc the truth and that's how he got his vision, but honestly I really don't see him going through with the betrayal. It's no wonder he's drinking all the time though, having all that on his mind. I mean yeah he's manipulative and keeps alot to himself but he's also still really kind to the people in his life. Also he's literally constantly hanging around Diluc, like sure okay he's gathering rumors in the bar for work but also he gets to see if his brother is doing okay, which he was literally doing during the batman quests. I don't think anybody is fooled by his nasty attitude lol
Also he is SOOOO happy when you invite him to stay in your teapot. He loves living there so much lmao he doesn't even pretend to be aloof and his conversation is about how much he likes talking with traveler. I think he really misses his family and having a home full of people he cares about to go back to :(
But I maybe missed some lore about khanriah? It's a nation that Mondstadt is at war with? Is that where the Grandmaster took the calvary? And didn't take the calvary captain? XD I found it interesting that Mika was originally scouting with him but the Grandmaster sent him back? That was in the poetry event tho I haven't seen anything else about Mika
Anyways I sure wish I didn't have to rely on gacha to hear Diluc's side of the story, I mean there's yt but it's not the same :/

you know that thing where like men will wear dresses or be feminine for a gimmick or as a trend etc which is all well and good but then theres people who can only handle seeing a man in a dress as a gimmick or as like a Thing where it's not casual or an everyday thing like they can only handle it when its specifically for a Bit bc they could never take a man just casually in a dress as anything casual, it'd be an affront to them for you to think a man in a dress can be anything but a gimmick so if you try to do it casually you're insane, and if you do it as a bit you are agreeing with them (youre not but they think you are). anyway this is how people are with genderfluid characters they can never just exist and casually be genderfluid they Have to be some sort of shapeshifting or weird over the top mystical being and it has to be a gimmick or it has to fit their persona or something for you to even consider them genderfluid because nobody could possibly casually be that without it being some sort of set piece for a punchline. how often do u see people even hc characters as genderfluid just cus. yknow.

📖 hehe
Hello there Jay 妹妹!!!Okay you're probably the only person who can relate to this daydream of mine so I'm definitely telling you about it 🥺
I've actually dreamed about this scenario/setting countless times in which reader and Levi are characters in a 武侠 au where Levi is reader's 师兄... can you imagine though... Levi with long hair and a high ponytail.... Levi in a 汉服.... Levi holding a 剑 practising his sword skills and also calling him 师兄?!?!? I'm gonna crumble and die 😵‍💫
I don't have a plot or fic idea for this wuxia au yet, and I don't think I'll ever write something for it because there's too much world building to do. But I really love this setting so much haha and sometimes I just daydream about Levi and I wandering around the mountains in our hanfu and jian and sparring somewhere in the bamboo fields 😭💖
Send me a book emoji and I'll tell you about my fanfic daydream!

May I request Zhongli, Itto, Kaveh and Cyno with an s/o who's got crazy good luck? They could win any challenge or game presented to them, never get hurt (to badly), and are always making loads of cash (somehow).
I can imagine at least one of those characters getting jealous over something like this.. Characters Included: Itto; Cyno; Zhongli; Kaveh Content: gender neutral reader; established relationship; crack??; some fluff and comedy; nothing too serious here, just some funny headcanons Word count: 942 words Have fun with this<3
Tumblr media
Itto
the man, the myth, the legend himself..
he gets SO incredibly jealous. When he challenges you jokingly at first, and you keep winning against him..
His pride is on the line here, okay?
you win a match of TCG against his amazing deck? That's fine, he can always challenge you for another round
but when you keep on winning and winning, he gets more and more desperate with each passing round
okay, screw TCG. How about a beetle fight? He's sure to win this, no doubt about it!
...what do you mean he lost again?
he's heartbroken. Will fall to the ground in disbelief. Have the gods truly forsaken him now?
a little drama queen about it, but it wouldn't be the Itto you know and love if he wouldn't act like this
still, you do feel a bit bad about it. To the point where you decide to only do the bare minimum and let him win against you, so he'll cheer up again
when he does win, his spirit is back up again immediately, bloating about his superior victory for the rest of the day. Like, seriously, he won't shut up about it anymore
unless someone were to mention all his previous losses, then he's back to sulking again
however, the next day, all is forgiven and forgotten again
Tumblr media
Cyno
one night, after dinner, he was talking about his new deck in TCG when you decided to ask him if he could teach you how to play
immediate sparkles in his eyes as he gets all excited and pulls out a new set of cards for you. He's been waiting for this day to come!
takes his time to explain the rules to you and helps you build your deck. If you ask him questions, he answeres them paitently
then comes the time for your first duel. Even though you are his partner and it's your first ever match, he doesn't plan to go easy on you. Well, maybe a bit, but he still will take this match very seriously
But when you end up winning against him, he's dumbfounded. How did you manage to do that?
He'd quietly mumble something about beginners luck, then challenges you to a rematch. This time, he plans to go all out
...and he looses again
now thourougly confused, he's looking at his cards like he might find the answer in them, while you are laughing your ass off. Your stomach hurts from all the laughing, but you can't calm down. Cyno's just so cute when he looks so shaken up
it's a mystery to him, how you could win against him, despite him having the better cards, the better deck and obviously having more expierence playing the game
in the end, he does swallow down his pride and congratulates you to your win, though he will work his deck over and challenge you again at a later point in time
Tumblr media
Zhongli
as an adventurer, it is unavoidable that people get injured every now and then. It's just a risk that comes with the profession
and yet, Zhongli has never seen an injury on you more severe than a cut and maybe some darker bruises
don't get him wrong, he's glad that you're not getting hurt all the time. It's just that your stories and the results don't match up most of the time
"And get this. Then, a huge rockfall comes falling down in our direction! Can you imagine that?" "Darling, that's very serious. How did you manage to avoid that?" "I don't know. Guess I just got lucky. I only got hit my a small one on the head, but it wasn't even big enoug to give me a concussion, so all's good!"
"I almost fell down a cliff today!", "A group of Ruin hunters attacked us today!", "We got locked in a cave, but luckily, they were connected to other caves, so we got out no problem."
almost every other day, you come home with a similar story and every time, Zhongli questions just how much luck one single human can possess to come out mostly unharmed every single time
still, every time you set out for work, he can't help but worry about you. What if one day, your luck runs out on you? You reassure him that you're careful, but it does little to appease his mind when you come home with yet another tale to tell...
Tumblr media
Kaveh
Kaveh isn't one for gambling, never has been and never will be. Though, he knows that you like to induldge from time to time, so when you invite him to come along with you, he agrees
and then he witnesses you winning each and every game you partake in. Doesn't matter how rigged the games might be, you make it look so simple
with a huge grin on your lips, your arms raise into the air as you declare your victory one again, and he's left dumbfounded
when he catches a quiet moment, he can't help but ask you about it
"I don't know. I just always had really good luck when it comes to those type of games.", would be your nonchalant explanaition
now he gets why you don't go out to play more often. You'd get banned from every single location if you were to do this regularely
Going home from a place like this with such a massive win.. he's too stunned to speak, but nonetheless very impressed and proud of you for it
will accompany you more often when you want to go out to gamble again, just to see your excited and joyful expression again
