Okay okay, so this happened before the EBG started. Like right before, and Ive has to silently SIMP OVER THIS FOR A WEEK

Anyway, I did my first commission with one of my fav artists @777els to draw some incredible Diluc artwork and .. HNNNNG .. LOOK!

I just cannot, artists are incredible and I am just in love with you all (and also him,.I'm in love with him!)

Thank you for making this for me!! I love love love it!

Fine. Diluc isn't discreet.

So maybe that pesky little cat child he'd always thought too young to be working at a bar had figured him out. He liked to think that he was above the one-sided rivalry Diona had thought up in her head, but the staredown they were having from each side of the street wasn't working in his favor.

Somehow, she knew. She had to, right? There was a certain wariness in her eyes that was different from the disgust the girl usually regarded him with. And when she--Hazel--came out to deliver drinks, Diluc had, against his own will, played his entire hand. There was only so much he could do to ignore that (adorable) strut and (mesmerizing) grin. When it was just him and Diona again, her eyes narrowed. To his surprise, she made the trip to his side.

"You. I don't like you. But I like Miss Hazel. Boss can't hire her full-time, so you better."

With those astounding words, Diona turned her nose up and returned to the Cat's Tail.

Did she just solve the matter that had preoccupated him for nearly two weeks? Well yes, but actually no. The hardest part wasn't hiring Hazel, but approaching her at all. Not once before had he felt so intimidated by a person he could certainly best in combat. He used to be the Knights' cavalry captain, for Barbatos' sake!

As if the Anemo archon himself was sending signs from Celestia, Diluc didn't really have to think about his first encounter with the (pretty) woman because said (beautiful) woman was the one who came to him first.

There wasn't much to see from his private office's window with the heavy rain that was pouring down on the winery grounds. Were it not for the lamps at the entrance of the manor, there would be no green in sight. Only dull grey and brown.

Wait. Brown?

Who in their right mind would travel all the way there in such a weather?

Curious, Diluc made his way down. Just in time for the knocks, too. He had half a mind to bring his claymore, but no one would be foolish enough to put themselves at such a disadvantage before challenging him.

He opened the door, all words dying in his throat when he recognized the shivering person on his porch. ...Hazel?!

She coughed,

"Excuse me, sir. I don't wish to disturb you, but could I please shield myself from the rain in your home?"

Well, if it wasn't convenient.

But the problem with 'convenient' is that it leaves no room for preparation. He had no time to plan his words, nor do something about the mess of hair he'd tied in a ponytail in his fatigue or the dark circles under his eyes acquired after too many hours awake.

And it was speechless and messy that Diluc welcomed Hazel for the night. She was drenched and he was drained, but he ended up finding the odd arrangement (Adelinde had insisted that they eat-'no buts, young master. you require sustenance right this instant') much more enjoyable than the elaborate schemes his mind had conjured up. In none of them had he guessed that he would be on the receiving end of her smile. That damned smile.

I-he-waht?! A CONTINUATION?!?! ANON YOU WROTE MORE OF THIS STORY

༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

It's so well written, composed in such a gripping manner - I've read this like five times already and I want to know more omg!!! To be on the receiving end of talent like this well, by the archons, (ʃƪ＾3＾), I'm speechless

(seriously, who ARE YOU)(my tags got away with me)

#hazelmail #gift from anons #my goooodness #seriously this is so goooood #i need to fnsikas GODH UM #tag this so you can read it later hazel #love story - hazel & diluc #wowowowow #i neeeed THIS #what a boost in my mood #i was smiling like a fool about this #fffffff #wowowo #good gift #hazel is blushing so hard #hazelismoved #i wanna hug you #😭😭😭😭😭

[witch-hazels-musings]

diluc was good with hunches.

maybe it was the many months he spent as the darknight hero, sniffing abyss monsters and petty criminals alike. maybe it was just the result of trauma giving him trust issues.

when a slew of new clients started appearing in the cat's tail, he knew something was amiss. their alcohol quality in no way surpassed that of his goods, he was certain of it. the establishment was respectable and neatly-kept, though not particularly remarkable either. so what was the secret behind their sudden takeover? he had to know.

no, he wasn't petty, but he was a businessman and any responsible businessman pays attention to the competition.

so he observed, waited for anything that sparked his curiosity. for a few days, there was nothing-and he hated it. he was a man of logic, whom always solved his problems directly. the lack of answers irked him, but he couldn't make himself known lest he threw his reputation away.

and then, something happened on the fifth day.

well, not something. someone.

as ridiculous as it sounded, he knew as soon as it happened. and what was 'it'? a new waitress. it couldn't be, could it? and yet, she was the only anomaly he could find. the way she almost tripped as she delivered a tray to an outdoor group of adventurers nearly made him roll his eye. but when she smiled and the sun seemed to shine far too bright, it finally clicked. diluc had his answer.

with his many connections, it wasn't hard to find her name without her knowing the owner of the competing establishment was the one asking.

hazel. quite...pretty. soft. he dreaded these intrusive thoughts and painful palpitations in his chest already.

now, onto the matter of hiring her.

I am ... I am smitten with this -- omg

I don't even know what to say other than I'm crying?? This is so well crafted, it's adorable and I can feel Diluc in this, and I have been told my smile is rather striking so it would mean the world if he thought so too 😭😭😭

Wowowo anon, wowo, thank you. (Don't mind me if I read this again and hang it on my wall)

[witch-hazels-musings]

If you ever write a book I will read it from cover to cover and that’s saying a lot because I have a lot of trouble reading actual books. Your words are so captivating that it feels like watching a film. It’s so good at conveying it’s mood, it flows so well. I applaud you.

༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

Anonnnnn, really ... Like really really ... You'd buy a book (´ . .̫ . `)

#hazelmail #i dont even know what to say #im so touched #ive been emotional all day and here you go and make me CRY 😭😭😭😭 #its a good cry though #a powerful cry #hazelismoved #(っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ #I CANT BELIEVE YOUD WANT TO READ A BOOOOOOOK FROM ME #my heart im fuckng crying #and its funny you say a movie because i see everything as if its playing like a movie in my head #and then i write it out!! 😭 #im so glad you can see my thoughts 💭💖

[witch-hazels-musings]

it’s been a long day of work and sitting at your desk.

you didn’t have to complete the usual round of commissions you would accept from the adventurer’s guild, but today you decided to take the day off to write: a hobby of yours you unfortunately have been neglecting since your trip to inazuma.

and yet, today was exhausting. an activity that once brought you so much comfort and pleasure felt more like a chore as writers block shackled both your creativity and ability to write.

as such, you found yourself nodding off in the plush office chair in diluc’s work room. he had left earlier in the day to check on the taverns stock of dandelion wine, much to your dismay. even as he left, diluc sighed, heart breaking at the pout you gave him: “duty calls, darling. and that pesky alcoholic of a bard seems to call even louder.”

you don’t know when you drifted off, but you were awaken by a warm hand brushing the stray hair out of your face. as you slowly opened your eyes you could make out a familiar mop of red hair situated at your left.

“hehe. good morning dear.”

diluc gave a small smile in return.

“morning? i could hardly call it morning anymore. it’s past midnight, love. did you get a lot done today?”

had time really passed that quickly? feeling more awake now, you looked out the window. the stars and the moon greeted you. the familiar feeling of guilt began creeping into your stomach, and you could feel your heart began to beat at twice its normal speed. a whole day, a WHOLE day you allotted yourself to sit down and finish the story that you were able to make such good progress on weeks ago: what had changed? you felt the beginnings of tears coming on.

noticing this, diluc frowned.

“are you okay love? is something the mat-“

“no. i’m not fine,” you half sobbed out. “i-i, i barely got anything done today! it’s like my brain froze and the paper STAYED blank, whatever i did write was awful and i crossed it out and threw it away! i wasted so much paper and i, and i..!” you sniffled, trying to catch your breath as you recalled your unproductive afternoon.

diluc stayed silent, as if waiting for you to finish your train of thought. although when he noticed another wave of fresh tears ready to fall, he could stay silent no more. bringing you close to his chest, he wrapped an arm around your shaking body and used his free hand to lift up your chin to pull you into a chaste, sweet kiss.

the effect was immediate. you instantly felt your anxieties began to seep away, but a part of your guilt remained. sensing this, diluc frowned.

“darling, regardless of how much or how little you’ve accomplished today, i am proud of you. im proud to call someone as hardworking as you as my partner. there will be days when work will not go the way you want, and today happened to be one of those days. do not worry, there are endless opportunities for you to continue writing. but for today, you did what you could: and you did well.”

you felt more tears coming on, not out of anxiety, but of gratitude. you managed a watery smile, and diluc kissed you once again.

“thank you diluc, i truly don’t know what i would do without you.”

“of course my love. now let’s get you to bed.”

(p.s!! the moral of the story is! it’s okay to have some days where you don’t feel like creating!! when you’re a content creator, the output of your work isn’t something mechanical! you are entitled to your own downtime and days to relax!! just wanted to remind you of that since you’re so giving to all of your followers :)) all of us love you and want you to happy above everything else!! so, miss hazel (and anyone out there) remember that you’re valid and you shouldn’t base your self worth off of how “productive you’ve been” throughout the day!! that’s so capitalist and icky!!)

-💖💖

( ᵒ̴̶̷̥  ‸ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥  ✿)

don’t mind me, just over here in feels town as I read this lovely message. Please, i’d so easily break down if he asked me what was the matter and then feel silly for getting so worked up (i’m so emotional T.T) 

literally I don’t even know how you always know when to send me something - are you in my heart!? because you have to be at this point!!!! 

(( I even tell myself that it’s okay to take a break but the GUILT and this stupid feeling of being unproductive -- you got me so good -- am i truly giving enough to you all when I know I could give you more. ugh idk ))

#hazelmail #💖💖 anon #hazelismoved #hazel in her feels #anon submission #others work #i love you internet friend #i hope one day we can chat more!

... i sit here sobbing, my dog is confused and my cheeks are soaked.

When the universe feels heavy, there comes a reprieve because not only did Diluc come to comfort me but there is a beautiful, kind, incredible person named Areyn who brought me to tears with their gift. I'm having a hard time seeing right now through my unending tears but you have no idea how much that meant to me -- (( I don't know how to thank you - please let me know how I can thank you))

.·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.

Thank you thank you, and for everyone out there - here is me reacting like a lovesick fool over what came in the mail just a bit ago

Hazel!! Giffffttt!!!

I wanted to show you how much I appreciate your work and this blog in general- honestly it's like a safe place, really grew on me with all the nice people and you here :( but I'm too shy (yes i literally just made a whole new tumblr for my emoji akjgsgjrsk) annnd I'm terrible with words so please have this small sketch I made of your lovely Fay as a token of my affection!! -🐮

You have no idea how much this impacted me! I saw this message at work and it hit me so hard I cried while walking to my car, I was like who can I share this with and called my sister! Like -- she’s so pretty, and you took the time to draw fan-art of something I MADE!? I cannot even tell you how touched i am -- like this message doesn’t do my emotions justice. So thank you for this gift T.T 

(also - if you are okay with it, i’d love to use this as my profile picture on witchhazelbazel because I just want to stare at it all the time! - if so - what’s the best way to credit youuu!?) 

#hazelmail #hazelismoved #i am touched and emotional and i love this so so so much #you've made my whole day #just bless you

[witch-hazels-musings]

I almost feel like he is real reading your works about Diluc. You have taken his essence and capture it so well in your descriptions it makes my eyes well up! Such gentle but steady writing style! I would buy 10 copies of your book in a heartbeat of you ever write one!

Omg this message just like knocked me over

Thank you, thank you wow ... (I'm gonna screenshot this and look at it when I'm sad), because this lifted me up)

Hazel you need to be kidding me you can't look me in the eyes and tell me that Diluc wouldn't be ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH YOU the moment he got to know you.

Like, "tolerating you"? With the heart of gold you have and the amazing person you are just in general? HE WOULD BE HEAD OVER HEELS FOR YOU.

Anyways I had to tell you that, have a nice day :) 💕

Me reading this message while at work and trying to hold myself together 😭😭
