a/n: tHE WAY THIS JUST FELL OUT OF ME?!?!? like WOW, okay, guess i just needed to write xiao fluff to feel better. anyway, hope you all enjoy this have a great day💖

It was the first snow of Liyue’s winter. The window near your bed gave you an excellent view of the landscape near Wangshu Inn. The water had frozen over, and you smiled at the amount of people who already had set up on the ice. Some of them were families who played around on the ice. Others were fisher folk who chatted amongst themselves near holes in the lake, keeping an eye on their pole’s line for any sign of sudden tension.

And Xiao, the mighty Yaksha who sought out all evil within Liyue, laid comfortably in your shared bed, lightly snoring.

He was clutching onto you for dear life even while asleep. Xiao’s head rested on your collarbone, with part of his body on top of yours as well. Because of this position, you kept inhaling the smell of Xiao’s hair— which smelled like your shampoo, oddly enough. I’ll talk to him about it later, you reminded yourself as you instead used your fingers as a fine-toothed comb, gently brushing through his dark hair.

You really enjoyed these moments. Xiao looked gentle, and finally at peace. A pleasant smile rested on his thin lips, and his expression was calm too. And a smile always graced your features when you rubbed Xiao’s back because he burrowed himself further into your personal space, which earned a gentle chuckle from you. 

“So adorable,” you gently murmured. Then, you lowered your chin and pressed a kiss to his temple— right where his diamond-shaped mark was.

Xiao furrowed his brow, and you instantly knew you were busted. “‘Adorable’? I don't think that's a very fitting compliment for a Yaksha…”

You chuckled. “Maybe. But it’s certainly a fitting compliment for my Yaksha.”

“Stop,” he groaned, his cheeks now reddening. “It’s too early for this.”

“Hm, agreed. Five more minutes in bed before we start the day?”

“Glady,” murmured Xiao, his lips ghosting over your collarbone as he spoke. “Now, flip over. I want to hold you for a bit.”

⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅*̩̩͙‧͙ Day 5: Winter Walk ‧͙*̩̩͙❆ ͙͛ ˚₊⋆

“Xiao, look!” you gasped, excitedly holding out your hand to capture the first falling snowflakes.

Xiao and you had been strolling around Guili Plains, enjoying the stillness and peace of the crisp winter air, far from the prying eyes of others. The two of you were either engaging in idle chatter or walking in comfortable silence as you admired the changing of the seasons. 

When you looked over at Xiao, beaming as the crystals settled on your glove, you found his amber eyes were already fixed on you. There was a soft smile playing around his lips as he studied your expression, committing all of it to memory as if he hadn’t done so thousands of times.

With a position and duty as his, it was easy to lose sight of life’s small joys, the little things that made life worth living. But as you invited him into your life, he suddenly found himself confronted with a huge number of them, almost overwhelmingly so. It took the adeptus quite some time to shift his perception of the world but as he did, Xiao finally understood why his former friends longed for this mundane existence.

“It’s snowing,” he said, mentally kicking himself for not coming up with something more profound to remark. The sound of your genuine laugh he had grown so fond of, remedied his anguish as soon as it had befallen him. 

“Look at this one.” Holding out your hand to him, he carefully held it between his and examined the snowflake on your index finger. Once more, he was struck with the realisation that he had never even bothered to look at the sparkling snow up close, taking in the tiny structures making it up. “They say that no two snowflakes are ever completely the same. It’s really cool when you think about it. I can’t wait ‘til more of them fall, it bet Liyue will look super pretty.”

“It will,” Xiao reassured you before stepping closer, softly wrapping your scarf tighter around you. “Do you want to head back to Wangshu Inn? We’ve been out here for a while and I don’t want you to catch a cold.”

“It’s just a bit of snow, I’ll be fine.” As you gazed into striking gold, your gloved fingers wrapped around his wrists and guided his palms to cup your cheeks. “Besides, I want to watch more of the snowfall.”

 “Hmm, you could see a lot farther from the top of the Inn though,” Xiao reasoned, “and we can come back tomorrow when more of it has fallen.”

“You’ve got a point. Alright, let’s call it a day.”

Leaning in, Xiao pressed a tender kiss to your forehead, his lips lingering on your skin just a little longer than usually. In the silent winter landscape, no other sound besides your breathing could be heard, a moment as delicate as a frozen bubble on water and you never wanted it to end.

“I love you, (y/n).” Before he could stop himself, the words had escaped him without any sense of where he was going with them or where the urgent need to confess them came. 

But you, beautiful you, only graced him with a knowing smile, quietly repeating them back to him, as if you were sharing a secret meant for only the two of you. Xiao still didn’t understand how you did it, how you reawakened the long forgotten side of him that looked upon the world with curiosity and wonder.

And maybe, he didn’t have to understand. Maybe, he could just indulge and open himself up to that feeling; to you.

“(Y/n),” Xiao called, intertwining his hands with yours as you hummed, “can you explain more of those mortal traditions to me?”

your consequences

summary: after travelling for so long, you and alhaitham are more than ready to get a good night’s sleep in. however, there appears to only be one bed... perhaps now is the time to address your feelings for each other, hm?

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: alhaitham x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader has been traveling for a while with alhaitham, and reader is not traveler

word count: 770 words (3 mins~)

genre: romance, fluff, confession, one bed trope

format: one shot

warnings: kissing/making out and suggestive if you squint

a/n: hehehewhew, alhaitham💖 a dashing young lad, ain’t he? a nice guy to write for. many thoughts about him. but hope you enjoy this💖

The snow storm had transformed into a blizzard just as you and Alhaitham had checked in. The innkeeper was kind and ushered you two to a spot near the fireplace. They couldn’t do much else, as they had to tend to other guests after they signed you two in, but they did hand you both a warm drink. The kind gesture was still appreciated by Alhaitham and you, though.

Once you two had entered your shared room with Alhaitham, exhaustion overcame you. It seemed to have seeped into your bones, making your movements sluggish and painful, and it caused you to flop onto the nearest bed. You sighed heavily as the blanket’s texture brought a heavenly comfort to you, and the pillow you groped for was just as nice. 

However, your brief moment of bliss didn’t last long as Alhaitham realized something.

“There’s only one bed,” he murmured.

You rolled over so you could look at him, “Do you care?”

“About which part?” Alhaitham began to shrug off his coat. “The room with one bed for the price of two? Or sleeping with you?”

“Sleeping with me,” you clarified for him.

“Obviously, that doesn’t matter to me.”

“‘Obviously’?”

“Yeah,” Alhaitham said, as if he did not just say something so bold and flustering that it made you a mess in the bed. “What about you? You okay with sleeping with me?”

“Of course.”

“‘Of course’?” He parroted.

You flipped over to your preferred side of the bed and began to climb under the covers, “Yeah, now go to sleep, pretty boy. I’m tired— you look tired— so go to bed.”

“‘Pretty boy’?” Alhaitham whispered hoarsly, his cheeks flushing a beautiful scarlet red. He didn’t want to seem desperate, however, all traces of dignity and self preservation were lost in his sleep deprived state. Which led Alhaitham to flip you over, slow enough not to shock you, and face him. “Alright, you’ve got to explain yourself now.”

“There’s nothing to ‘explain’—”

“Yes, there is!” he whispers harshly, lowering his face down so it now hovered only an inch above your own. “You’ve been flirting with me this whole trip! It’s— oh my goodness, it’s so—”

“— does it make you uncomfortable?” you asked, worry and fear eating at you as you stared at the gray-haired man. You had indeed been flirting with him this whole trip, as his responses and reactions always made you smile. However, you didn’t consider that those reactions could be coming from a place of unease and—

“Archons no,” Alhaitham reassured you. “It’s so flustering, that’s what I was trying to say.”

“Oh,” you say, dumbly.

“And I just— I need to know, that this isn’t some screwed up game to you.”

You frowned, your heart breaking slightly at the fearful expression on Alhaitham’s face. Slowly, as you did not want to startle him, you began to caress Alhaitham’s cheek. Then, you slipped it up to his hair and began to part it in a way that made him appear even more handsome to you. 

“Oh, archons above, Alhaitham,” you said gently. Then you met Alhaitham’s eyes and softly smiled, “I would never dream of it.”

“Good, because my feelings aren’t something you can toy with,” his eyes darted from yours to your lips, causing his own to part slightly, “not without consequences.”

“Oh? Consequences such as…?”

He was now only staring at your lips, “May I show you…?”

“Gladly, Alhaitham.”

Your chest burned, with longing so deep it hurt, as he moved his body impossibly closer to yours. Then, his lips came crashing down onto your own. And Alhaitham’s actions were clumsy at first as he positioned himself comfortably over you. However, as the kiss progressed, it became more fluid and passionate with each second you went without air.

Finally, you two did break apart. Alhaitham panted over you, his cheeks a lovely pink now. He chuckled at your equally flustered expression, falling back onto the bed as he regained his breath.

“Good night, Alhaitham,” you murmured, sleep drowning out your excitement as your exhaustion returned. “See you in the morning.”

“What? No good night kiss?” he teased, settling in next to you so that his chest pressed against your back. 

“I just gave you a good night kiss!”

Alhaitham chuckled, “Alright, sweets.”

Then, he leaned over so he could press a kiss to the side of your temple. He also moved his arms so they had a firmer grip on your hips now, giving them a gentle squeeze as he closed his eyes too.

“Good night. I’ll see you in the morning too. Sweet dreams.”

you want to talk about it now?

summary: cyno and you were just preparing to leave for a friend’s holiday hangout until you tried to bring up whether you two should go as friends or... something else, regarding the nature of your relationship

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: cyno x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader and cyno are in a situation-ship, and reader is not traveler

word count: 902 words (3 mins~)

genre: romance, hurt/comfort, friends to lovers

format: headcanons and blurbs

warnings: confrontation, arguing, swearing, and situation-ship/friends with benefits (sfw) relationship between cyno and reader

a/n: THIS!!!! WAS!!!! SO!!!! FUN!!! TO!!! WRITE!!!! literally, like, it all fell out of me in one sitting. wth. hope y’all enjoy reading this as much as i did writing it💖

cyno and you used to be just good friends

you laughed and joked, and generally enjoyed spending time with him (as he did with you)

though, as time passed by, the line between friendship and something more blurred

you two hugged when you greeted each other, sometimes kissing the other’s cheek if it had been very long

and you two were generally more... touchy than “just friends” were

but... neither of you wanted to label it as anything other than just two lonely, touch-starved friends looking out for each other

but friends didn’t look at each other for so long, turning bashful when they were caught red-handed

and cyno certainly shouldn’t get so worked up about going as friends or as something more if you two really are just friends

Cyno scrolled endlessly on his phone, tucking his other hand into his coat’s pocket. He waited by your door, dressed warmly for the blizzard that awaited you two outside, with a great amount of patience. When he looked up at you, all dressed up for the winter party, Cyno smiled. 

“Well, don’t you look nice,” he not-so subtly eyed you up and down. “Trying to impress someone at the party, hm?”

You rolled your eyes. “Can’t I look good for the sake of looking good?”

“Oh, sure you can. I just never knew you were capable of—”

“—watch it, Cyno.”

“You didn’t let me finish!” He held his hands up, surrendering. “I was just gonna say that I never knew you were capable of being more attractive than you already are. That’s all.”

You bit the inside of your cheek to stop yourself from smiling so hard. “Aw, thanks. And, if it’s any consolation, you don’t look half bad yourself, Cyno. Kinda handsome, if you squint.”

“Would it kill you to be nice to me?”

You pulled on your own coat, scarf, and mitts. “You know you like it.” 

“Uh huh. Sure,” he dismissed in a cocky tone.

It was now or never, you decided as you looked at him.

“Are you ready to go or…?” he asked, his voice trailing off as his eyes met yours.

“Well… Yeah. Actually, there is,” you replied. 

“Oh?”

“I was wondering if we were going to go to the party as friends or,” you inhaled quickly, and murmured the next part softly, “or as something more.”

Cyno’s face went slack with confusion. “‘As something more’? Care to clarify?”

“Y’know,” you examined your nails. “As… as a couple.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah.”

Cyno groaned. “You want to talk about it now?”

“Well, yeah. Because I don’t even know what ‘it’ is,” you retorted. “You’ve kind of just been playing around with my feelings for the last few months. You know that, right?”

He furrowed his brow. “I haven’t been—”

“Oh really? Then what are we, Cyno?” you exclaimed. “Because we aren’t friends— because friends don’t cuddle and look at each other like we do. ‘Friends’ don’t drop everything if the other is having a bad day, just because you’re worried about them. And friends certainly don’t fuck around with each other’s— no, my feelings— just because they’re lonely and—”

Cyno’s hand came onto your shoulder, instantly shutting you up. You looked over to him and were shocked to see a concerned expression on his face.

“You’re doing it again,” he murmured, gently.

“What?”

“You forgot to breathe,” he clarified. “I thought you were going to pass out if I let you go on for another second.”

You shook him off. “Stop that. Stop acting like you care about me.”

“I do though.”

“Then stop playing with my feelings,” you snapped. “Just tell me, Cyno. Are we friends or not?”

Cyno’s lips parted, but no sound came out. You felt your eyes burn and the back of your throat hurt, but you clenched your fists and remained strong. 

“Fine then,” you grumbled, shoving past him to the door, “I’m still going to the party, though.”

But before you could twist the doorknob, Cyno grabbed your wrist and flipped you around. In an instant, he had you pressed against the door with his face close to yours. With his tempting lips close to yours. So, tantalizingly close it hurt even more than the silence.

“You didn’t let me answer,” he growled.

You glared at him. “Your actions were more than enough to—”

But before you could finish your sentence, Cyno’s lips swallowed yours. You let out a surprised gasp, though it was muffled due to his lips molding so nicely against yours. Cyno’s eyes fluttered close as he tilted his head, then his hands found their place on your body. An embarrassing sound left you when Cyno pinched your waist, teasingly.

You two broke apart, panting for air as you stared at each other. A sense of understanding passed through you both, one that was mixed with love and the bliss that came with it.

“Want to skip the party and just head downtown for dinner?” you asked him.

Cyno nodded, interwinding his right hand with your left. “Should I text Collei that we can’t make it or should you?”

You hummed for a moment before you came up with an answer. “I’ll text her, but you’ve got to make up the excuse.”

“We got snowed in?”

“Good enough for me,” you said as you pulled out your phone. “Let’s just hope it’s good enough for Collei and the others.”

i just want to help

summary: tighnari and you have had a rivalry for long time now... if only you knew that tighnari only wanted to help you

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: tighnari x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them) and the reader is not the traveler

word count: 282 words (1 min~)

genre: romance, enemies to more

format: headcanons 

warnings: not proof read and reader is stubborn

a/n: the person who requested this had a great idea... and i feel so bad for making it like this </3 i hope i can redo/rewrite this in the future💖

tighnari first encountered you when he was out on a patrol

although the forest didn’t get snow, the sheer temperature drop that occurred in the winter concerned most of the forest rangers

so, tighnari was sent out to make sure none of the water sources froze over completely

and, as he was hacking away at some of the ice, he spotted you

you, who was camping out in the middle of the forest

safe to say, tighnari was instantly enchanted by your near-mystical mannerisms and appearance as you walked through the forest

until he saw you pluck some nearby berries from a bush, one that he knew was for a nearby family of birds

tighnari tried to stop you, but even then you wouldn’t listen to his reason

and suddenly, those feelings of attraction were replaced by annoyance and frustration

most of your encounters with the forest ranger were infuriating

especially for him, as he always tried to offer you help whenever he saw you struggle

but you always refused his help. whether that be out of determination or stupidity, tighnari didn’t know 

and, even more annoyingly so, the more tighnari saw of you the harder it became to see you suffer

it got so frustrating that the forest ranger just had to let you knew how he feel after you two argue for the nth time that week

“will you just accept my help?! i’m not even asking for anything in return— i just want you to be safe. what do you mean ‘why?’ because i don’t think i could handle going a day without seeing you on my patrols or in my life and— just let me help you. please.”

i’m not a monster

summary: although your university has given students two weeks off for the holidays, you’re still stuck in the library studying for the upcoming exam season. although, you seem to have lost focus and fell asleep on top of your textbooks... luckily for you, your long-term rival dottore is here to help

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: dottore x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader is a student and rival of dottore’s, and reader is not traveler

word count: 491 words (2 mins~)

genre: romance, enemies to more, modern AU

format: one shot

warnings: not proofread thoroughly 

a/n: ghghghg, i’m going to need to revisit this idea/concept with dottore (and other characters?!?!) in the future... but i hope y’all enjoy this💖

The holiday break was for students and staff to take a break from studies and spend time with their loved ones. Although, many students didn’t spend the break exactly like that. Some hosted huge parties in their parents’ house while they were on holiday. Others— like yourself— spent the whole two weeks panicking and studying for the upcoming exam season. And, for those like yourself who bit more than they could chew, they had rarely any time to relax.

Which is exactly why you had holed yourself up in your university’s library for a few days. You were strict with yourself while studying, too. Coffee and your textbooks were the only thing you could rely on, it seemed. Though, it was only inevitable that you would come down from your coffee-fueled ambitious high. You just wish you hadn’t crashed so hard while you were reviewing your textbooks for the nth teen time that day.

But, luckily, Dottore had just turned the corner in search of a book to satiate his own curiosity when he saw you, slumped over your textbooks.

Admittedly, he did chuckle at your pathetic state. Half of your face was squished down, adorably so, while you slept on the pages. He did cringe as he saw a small amount of drool leave your parted mouth. And the academic in him stiffened when Dottore noticed how you were wrinkling the paper in this position. So, really, he had no choice but to put you in a more comfortable position. For both you and the book.

Just like he had no choice but to make you lay down, head in his lap. And he certainly had no choice but to put his coat over you once he saw you shiver. Though, Dottore can’t really explain the soft smile that spread across his features when he caught a glimpse at the peaceful look on your face. They’re too cute to resist smiling, he reassured himself, anyone who doesn’t smile at that is ridiculous. Obviously.

Dottore looked over at your notes and sighed wistfully. He examined your handwriting, and smiled at the small details in it that made it uniquely yours. Some of the notes you wrote on the margins of your work earned a chuckle out of Dottore, too. 

“Oh, if only you didn’t have such a bad impression of me,” Dottore murmured, slightly wincing as he recalled your first meeting.

Rumors of his questionable ethics and dubious morals had spread around the university, and you joined everyone else in their superstitions. However, the only thing that separated you from the rest of the sheep was your brilliant mind.

“We could have been friends,” he mumbled. Dottore sucked in a harsh brush as he took in your face fully. “Or maybe something more…?”

Dottore looked at the time on his watch and concluded that maybe— just maybe— he’d need a nap too. 

Even if it is next to his so-called “enemy”.

office party

summary: even though it’s been a year since the break up, you’re still tense around your boss and former lover, yae miko. however, after a recent break up and attending the office’s yearly holiday party, you realize that yae’s feelings for you haven’t changed.

a/n: i feel awful that this is so shitty😭 but i hope that everyone had a wonderful time with this genshin advent calendar and found a piece in it that you really enjoyed 💖stay safe and hope you enjoy this 💖

You stumbled through the bustling crowd of people, all merry and full of holiday spirit. Although, the office space is clearly not enough for the amount of people invited. Did everyone bring a plus one? You thought to yourself as you slipped into a small conference room, which had been exempt from the holiday decorating.

You looked back at all the people and sighed, leaning on the table for support. “Why did I even come to this stupid party?”

“Oh, it’s not that stupid, sweetheart,” a familiar, sultry voice called from the dark.

You jumped as you saw the C.E.O. of the company emerge, her pink hair flowing behind her. The smell of her perfume— lavender and something else, if you recalled— overwhelmed your nose immediately. And her beautiful purple eyes would not stop boring into your soul, even as you turned your attention to the floor.

“Aw. What’s the matter?” Her hand slipped under your chin, lifting your gaze to hers. “Cat got your tongue? Or, rather, fox—”

You swatted her hands away, the sound of the slap echoing slightly in the empty conference room. “Don’t, Yae.”

“Oh, I’m just teasing, darling,” Yae reached out, but hesitated. “Sorry. Old habits die hard, I suppose.”

You furrowed your brow. “We broke up a year ago. That is plenty of time to—”

“Has it really been a year?” she rubbed her forehead. “It feels just like yesterday, to me.”

“Has CEO life really been keeping you that busy?”

Yae nodded. “With you by my side, my work felt more important.”

“Well, all good things must come to an end,” you murmured, watching as one of your coworkers helped Jared to the washrooms, too drunk to find his way on his own.

“Is that why you broke up with me at the party last year?”

You nearly snapped your neck when you looked back at her. “Yae, I didn’t mean to—”

“It’s fine,” she said, sadly. “A relationship between an employee and their boss wouldn’t have worked out in the end, anyway.”

“Well,” you began, gently sliding your hand over to Yae’s, “Maybe not. We had managed to keep it under wraps for a year… not even Stacy heard about it.”

Yae perked up, now curious. “What are you saying?”

“I’m saying that… maybe we could try again at ‘us’?” you tentatively put out, the heat rising in your cheeks. “If you’d like to, that—”

Yae’s hand came on top of yours and she smiled cheekily, the apples of her cheeks almost wrinkling her eyes. “I’d like another try at ‘us’, too.”

and the endless praise that spills from your mouth makes ayaka blush madly, but she just blames it on the cold

however, ayaka is a quick learner!

so much so, that you ask her to skate from one end of the ice skating ring to the other end without you

she’s quite confident as she glides over the ice

but when ayaka looks up to find your proud face, she accidentally ends up face first into you

which sends you both down into a comprising position... leaving a very flustered ayaka on top of you as she tries to think

Ayaka’s breath forms in small, white puffs in the chill air. Her fall knocked all the breath out of her, so she inhaled each breath of crisp air with gratefulness. However, once the air had been returned to her, Ayaka looked down to see what she landed on. But once Ayaka saw you beneath her, her breath was knocked out again.

Her face was pretty crimson, making her beautiful sky-blue eyes pop against her skin. However, she was quick to hide behind her hands as you stared at her with a dazed expression. It seems your friend was too flustered even to think. Or to get off from you.

Which was perfectly alright, you thought as your hands snuck up to her waist. The view’s much better down here, anyway.

Ayaka squealed, and you couldn’t help the soft coo you let out.

“S-stop it,” she stuttered out, her voice muffled thanks to a pair of hands. “You’re making me turn red.”

You began to sit up, now face to face with your dear friend. “Oh? But I thought it was the ‘cold’ that was—”

As you had moved closer to tease Ayaka further, she removed her hands from her face. She began to lean in, a combination of frustration and flusteredness all over her face. However, your combined movements resulted in a soft accidental kiss between you two.

For a moment, all you can do is stare into Ayaka’s eyes with shock. Her expression is mirrored back to you, coupled with a soft blush that decorates her cheeks. But her lips are so soft and tempting, that you couldn’t bear to end it here now. It feels so soft; you both think as you take in the texture. Your hands still rest on Ayaka’s hips, but as you two sit lip to lip, you tighten your grip ever so slightly. Her face contorts into brief shock before a mischievous look enters her eyes.

Another moment passes between you two, and Ayaka finally lets out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.

And then she deepens the kiss, making you both think: it feels so right.

duty calls

summary: although you know diluc “must” leave each night to protect the streets of mondstat, it doesn’t hurt nor worry you any less when you must say good night to him on the winery’s doorstep.

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: diluc x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader and diluc are in an established relationship, and reader is not traveler

word count: 446 words (1 and a half min~)

genre: romance

format: headcanons and blurbs

warnings: mention of spouse/loved one (diluc) being injured in line of work

a/n: ahghghg... i really wanna turn this into a long fic one day, cause i have SO many ideas with this💖 enjoy what i came up with, and i hope you have a great day💖💖

diluc’s want for justice is one of the many things that attracted you to him

however, lately it has been getting in the way of your relationship

he often has to leave you, his heart set on protecting the streets of mondstadt

and it only gets worse in the winter

because while you anxiously wait for his return, the room only gets colder and colder

but thoughts of your nightly send off return to you

of how beautiful your boyfriend looked, dressed in mostly black while snowflakes began to decorate his hair

and his beautiful lashes, that collect the snow so wonderfully on them

but that loving gaze he gives you each time he has to leave will never leave your mind, ever

because even though you two can’t always be together, you know that diluc loves you with each kiss he gives you

You two stand in the doorway of the Dawn Winery, chest to chest as you breathe each other in. The whispers of a loving goodbye rest on each of your lips, yet you couldn’t bear to part from your lover. So, you cling onto his stiff leather coat for another moment longer as he murmurs his love for you. I hope he’s warm in this, you think as you roll the fabric between two fingers.

“I promise you, my love, that I’ll be back before the early hours of tomorrow,” he murmured. Diluc slipped a gloved hand under your chin and made you meet his loving gaze. “Does that satisfy you, my darling?”

You smirked at the pet name, but your lips dropped when you looked at the bruise on his cheek. There was a soft pang in your heart that urged you to say, “Come back in one piece, please.”

“I’ll try, love.”

“No,” you tugged him towards you, bringing his lips onto yours. He let out a harsh breath before his arms found their place on you; desperately gripping onto you like you were doing to him. When you broke apart, Diluc stared at you with a pair of reddened cheeks. “You come back to me in one piece, and not a scratch. You understand me, my love?”

He smiled. “Of course, darling. Now, you get to bed now. The last thing you or I need is for you to get a cold.”

“Good night, Diluc. Stay safe, please,” you hugged him one more time. “Or else.”

Diluc chuckled, but kissed you once more for reassurance. “Good night, love. Sleep well.”

And when you looked out the front door’s window, desperate for one more look at the love of your life, he was gone in a blink of an eye.

stargazing

summary: with news of aquila being spotted in a starry sky near you, your friend childe and you quickly find a night to stargaze together. however, while you’re trying your best to stay warm and look for that damned constellation, childe’s eyes seem to be on something else. or rather, someone else...

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: childe x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader and childe are friends, and reader is not traveler

word count: 854 words (3 mins~)

genre: romance, friends to lovers, fluff

format: one shot

warnings: brief descriptions of making out and things escalating quickly

a/n: no you don’t understand the CHOKEHOLD this fic idea had on me when i thought of it. i wrote it in one sitting (which explains its quality) and have not stopped thinking about this idea (/trope) since then... oh well💖

"Is the blanket really necessary?” He teased you.

You brought the warm blanket closer around you, as though wrapping a protective shawl around yourself; intent on deflecting Childe’s teasing. And also the night’s frost, which seemed to have no effect on your friend.

“Well, some of us are warm blooded,” you retorted in a half-bitter and half-sleepy tone, “and some of us also get really cold, really easily. So, yes, the blanket is necessary.”

Childe looked over at you, the night’s stars reflecting back in his blue eyes. His eyes seemed to be on some aimless search, darting from one corner of your face to another, as Childe’s lips parted. There was no doubt he didn’t not see your own eyes dart to the subtle gap between his seemingly-perfect lips. But, in a rare act of kindness, Childe made no indication of it.

“What are you looking at me like that for?” you asked him. “It was your idea to look at the stars, dumb dumb.”

“Looking at you like what?”

“Like that!” you said, accusingly, as you saw that lopsided grin takeover his face.

“You just…” his mouth parted further this time, and you noticed Childe’s hand reach out to you. But some invisible force acted upon him, and the ginger retracted into himself. He shifted his gaze to the night’s sky and shook his head. “Nevermind.”

“Oh, so now you’re interested in the stars—”

“Hey, look! Aquila, right there— dead center, you can’t miss it.”

You tried to look for Aquila, the constellation that was the whole reason for this night of stargazing, but couldn’t find it. Seeing your confusion, Childe leaned over and pointed to the sky, gently tracing the stars. To be honest, you couldn’t remember what Aquila was supposed to look like— and Childe’s tracing didn’t help as much as you wanted it to—but you enjoyed the excuse to be closer to him.

“Oh,” you murmured, feigning a sense of realization at finding Aquila as you drew out the ‘o’.

“Do you see it now?” he asked.

You nodded, “Yeah.”

Childe gently leaned his head onto yours, a yawn spilling out of him as he sat beside you. “Pretty cool, right?”

“Hm,” you hummed your agreement. “When did you have the time to learn constellations?”

“I didn’t.”

“What?”

“I learned some,” Childe explained, “because you mentioned how nice it would be to go stargazing. And one of my siblings really loves the stars, so they were pretty happy to help me learn to recognize some constellations.”

“Oh,” you murmured. “That’s… really sweet of you to do, Childe.”

“Yeah, well, that’s what friends are for, right?” he chuckled. “Now scoot over and give me some of that blanket, I’m getting cold.”

Without verbal complaint, although there was an exaggerated eye roll directed to the ginger, you open the blanket up to him. He gently pulls it over so it covers the shoulder farthest from you. One of Childe’s hands sneaks down to your side, wherever it touches now struck ablaze, only to rub his knuckles against your own. Then, he relaxes into your side and puts his head on top of yours, sighing blissfully.

“What’s got you so happy?” you asked. “I can’t be that good of a head rest.”

Childe chuckled, now pressing his cheek into your scalp instead of his pointed chin. “I’m enjoying your company, dummy. It’s what friends do.”

You feel his knuckles shift closer to yours, again, so you dare to ask him, “Do— can friends hold hands, then?”

“Maybe. If friends are comfortable doing it, that is.”

“Well... I am.” 

You felt giddy as he intertwined his fingers with yours. It felt so right, you thought as the excitement bubbled inside you.

“Can… Can friends kiss each other, as well?” Childe tentatively asked. “Like, on the cheek or something…”

“Well, if friends are comfortable doing it. Right?” You chuckled, enjoying this much shyer side of Childe. “Which I am, by the way.”

With that, Childe slowly pulled his head off of yours. He pressed a small kiss to your cheek, just below the eye on your right side, like he suggested. His lips felt nice there, like something sweet but unfortunately too quick. 

They also felt nice on the apple of your cheek, along the brim of your nose, your other cheek, your forehead— until finally he reached your lips. But he broke away from your lips, just as quickly as the other kisses before, and parted from you.

For a moment,  you two just stared at each other. There was a bewildered, as well as guilty, expression plastered across your friend’s face. A knowing look passed between you two, the line of friendship crossed as soon as Childe’s lips pressed down onto your skin. 

But it didn’t matter, in the end, as you pulled him back in for a second round of affection beneath the stars, your heart and his swelling at the mutual reciprocation. And all you could hope for was that the stars looked over you two, a mess of sloppy kisses and giggles, as exhaustion slowly crept over you both.

desert me...

summary: venti noticed you’ve been struggling with some similar problems, so he offers you some reassurance and advise

masterlist | advent calendar 

pairing: platonic!venti x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader and venti are friends, reader is unaware of venti being barbatos, and reader is not traveler

word count: 512 words (2 mins~)

genre: platonic, hurt/comfort

format: oneshot

warnings: spoilers for venti’s backstory/mondstadt archon quest 

a/n: aghgh my heart💖 this one was a little self indulgent and i apologise for how rushed it is

Venti plopped down beside you on the bench, gazing up at the snow covered Barbotos statue. His feet swung back and forth, like a child’s, as your friend rambled on and on about his previous night’s mischief. Normally, you’d snicker or laugh at his cheery attitude. But today, you could barely pay attention to what the bard was saying— too caught up in your mind.

“And then I leapt onto the table and— Are you even listening?”

You flinched and looked at your friend, “Hm, what? Oh, sorry…”

“It’s alright,” Venti said, turning his attention back to the grand statue. “But, as I was saying—”

“Venti, do you think I’m annoying?”

The bard froze and turned to you. Anyone could pick up the hint of insecurity and hurt in your voice, but only Venti could understand that hollow look behind your eyes. Only he could notice how you curled into yourself, ever so subtly, and cling onto your arms for reassurance. His eyes stung as they raked over your form, finally realizing how quiet you were.

“No,” Venti said slowly. His feet had stopped swinging, and now were perfectly still. “Why do you ask?”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it,” you murmured, biting your tongue to prevent yourself from venting to him.

He eyed you for a second. Then, he said absentmindedly, “You know, it’s very disrespectful to lie in front of an archon.”

“It’s a statute, Venti,” you reminded him.

“So you didn’t deny the fact that you’re lying?”

“I—” you bite your tongue again. Damn it, Venti.

“So, are you going to fill me in now?” Venti leaned over to you so his head rested on your shoulder. You simply sighed and leaned your head against his.

“It just feels like everyone’s been abandoning me, lately,” you explained. “And I know it’s not their fault, but… still. I wish everyone didn’t just leave me, y’know?” 

A gust of wind blew by, shoving Venti’s multicolored braids into his face. He teared up, slightly, as he watched you through the blue and black strands of his hair. Painful memories flashed before his eyes as he stared at you, as he heard your whispers.

“Does… does that make sense?” you asked, hesitant. “I know it’s silly to worry about but—”

“I know what you mean.”

“Oh. I’m sorry you’ve felt like this before,” you said. “Is… is there any way to feel better about it? Does it stop?”

Venti looked up to you, taking note of the vulnerability that took over your face. Although he knew it didn’t always get better— as an archon, it was so much worse— he wouldn’t let you know that.

“Yeah, it does,” he assured you. “And I’ll never leave you, ya know that? It’s going to take a lot more to get rid of me, bud.”

You chuckled, playfully pushing the bard off of you. “Likewise, Venti. Now, what’s this about leaping over tables? And without me! The nerve…”

Venti giggled as he launched into a long-winded story of yesterday’s shenanigans, glad to have you smiling and laughing once more.

days indoors with zhongli are always great

they’re usually quiet, recreational days spent together

he’s a lover of existing in the same room as each other while you two do something 

although, as he reads on the couch... he does wish you could come over and sit with him

zhongli keeps sneaking looks over the top of the pages, internally cooing at your totally focused face

but then he blushes once you catch him

yes, even though you’ve been dating for ages, he still blushes when you catch him

but zhongli doesn’t press you to spend time with him

although, he does ask that you take breaks when you work

and he would love to curl up in front of the fire with you and a blanket on your breaks

this man is so content when he’s with you in front of the fire by the way

zhongli also takes this opportunity to give you many kisses, all across your face and a few onto your shoulders

and he acts all oblivious to your flustered state, as he’s too content to really tease you about it

“mmm... hm? do you like it when i kiss you there, dear? hm, good, because i do too. oh, dear, let’s get closer to the fire... unless you have another idea on how to warm up, hm? oh, i’m kidding, love!”

window shopping

summary: shenhe hasn’t celebrated the holiday season properly before. so, you’re there to help her discover the joys of it all!

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: shenhe x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader is friends with shenhe, and reader is not traveler

word count: 408 words (1 and a half min~)

genre: romance, friends to lovers, fluff

format: headcanons and blurb

warnings: none

a/n: ahhh, sorry this is so short :”) trust me when i say that i love writing for shenhe, she’s one of my favs 💖 regardless, i hope you enjoy this!

shenhe has experienced a lot of firsts with you

and it’s only natural for her first holiday season be spent with you, too

so, you find yourself following behind shenhe as she peers at each display in each window with so much excitement it’s endearing

although, she’s a little puzzled on why there’s so many couples around

every way you look, a couple committing some act of PDA met your eyes

shenhe didn’t really care that much about that

and it certainly didn’t bug her when almost all the window displays were centered around romantic love...

however, shenhe did ask more questions as you two moved from window to window

specifically about the “romantic traditions” of window shopping

“Is it normal for couples to shop together?” Shenhe murmured, raising her brow as she spotted a couple giggling as they rubbed their noses together.

“Kind of? Just depends on the couple, Shenhe,” you answered.

“Do people think we’re a couple?”

“Maybe? I don’t know.”

“Oh,” she said. “Well, if it’s any consolation, I wouldn’t mind being your girlfriend.”

You nearly tripped over your own feet, but Shenhe was quick to prevent that. For a moment, you looked up at your friend— you savior— with a transfixed gaze. A slow, but steady, blush spread across Shenhe’s face as she held you. But once you broke out of it, she let go of you and gazed at a train display in the nearest window.

“Shenhe?” you called.

“Hm?”

“You... know it’s not normal for ‘friends’ to feel like that, right?”

She blinked, very slowly. “It’s not?”

“No, not unless you like them,” you replied.

“Oh.” Shenhe pulled her gaze from the window and over to you, her lips thinning into a stern line. She glanced at your reflection in the window, and then said, "Then... I think I like you,” she murmured, letting her hand graze over yours. “And... I’d like to go out with you, if you’d like to, too.”

You smiled and gladly took Shenhe’s hand, “It would be my pleasure.”

“Great,” Shenhe breathed out. “Now, let’s go into this next store. I think they have some nice chocolates— oh, and some pepermints too! C’mon frie— love!” She then pulled you close, “Is it okay if I call you love?”

“Of course it is,” you murmured. “As long as I can call you something.”

“Wonderful,” she said with a lovely smile. “Now, let’s go try out some candy, love!”

on the run

summary: after narrowly escaping the millelith, you accidentally bump into a stranger. into a very pretty and lovely stranger.

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: ganyu x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader is a wanderer on the run, and reader is not traveler

word count: 618 words (2 mins~)

genre: romance, meet cute

format: one shot

warnings: mentions of getting cut and things escalating quickly

a/n: while writing this i had SO MANY thoughts about snow princess!ganyu you wouldn’t believe it. oh well, another fic for another day💖

Your heart thumped in time with each step your feet took, beating so loudly you could feel it in your ears as you run. The snow crunched loudly beneath your feet as you ran through the forest. However, the trees were getting thicker and thicker now. Stray branches came in contact with your body, but you plowed right through them. But they left scratches and cuts around your body, which would hurt much more once the adrenalin wore off. 

Then you saw a clearing up ahead, and you nearly wept. You risked a look behind you, checking for the Millelith that were after you. 

But then you made it into the clearing and bumped straight into someone.

A loud hiss was drawn from your lips as you fell into the snow, your head aching from the impact. You heard a pained wail from across from you and a loud thump. When you opened your eyes, however, you were quite unprepared to see such a beautiful woman.

She had hair as blue as the sky, and two eyes that held all the colors of the sky at dawn. She sat in the snow across from you, gently rubbing her temple with a delicate, gloved hand. But once she looked at you, a gentle blush decorated her already beautiful features. 

“H-hi,” you both stutter out.

The woman doubled over in laughter, the sound so bright and loud it made your heart swell. She smiled afterward and said, “Sorry for bumping into you. I wasn’t looking where I was going.”

“I wasn’t the one who was looking,” you explained to her. You stood and offered a hand out to her, “Please, allow me to apologize.”

She giggled and accepted your hand, “I suppose I can, stranger.”

As you pulled her up, you gave the stranger your name. She sounded out your name slowly, with your guidance, while wearing a dazed expression. Truthfully, you had never thought your name had sounded as lovely as it did when she said it.

“Oh, that’s such a lovely name,” she murmured.

“Ah, but I’m sure a lady as lovely as you has an even lovelier name.”

“Oh— stop it, you,” she blushed. “But, if you must know, it’s Ganyu.”

“A beautiful name for an even more beautiful woman,” you complimented, tucking some of Ganyu's stray hairs behind her ear.

But before you two could enjoy the bliss of love at first sight for yet another moment, a familiar cry came from the woods behind you. You bristled and looked behind you; sure enough, the Millelith had caught up with you.

You looked at Ganyu with a pained expression. “I must leave now, but it was so nice to meet you, Miss Ganyu.”

She smiled sadly but nodded to show that she understood. However, when you two broke apart, Ganyu called out your name. You turned back to her and were met with a small peck on the cheek.

“F-for good luck,” she murmured against your skin, bashfulness now taking over her.

“What happens if I get a proper kiss?” you teased, inching closer to her. “Will I have good fortune as well or—”

“Oh, get going, you!” She yelled, pushing you away with a playful push.

“Will I ever see you again?” you asked suddenly. 

Ganyu smiled. “Well, I hope so. But if you don’t move now, we may never see each other again. Now, go!”

You gave her a toothy grin before sprinting off further into the woods and away from the Millielith and Ganyu. Although, instead of the usual fear that carried you farther and farther away from the authoritative guards, you let the first blossoms of love guide you through the forest.
