can I request a modern time zhongli x reader age gap trope where in the reader is 22 and zhongli is 31, it's like a CEO x secretary scenerio almost like a sugar daddy kind of relationship but a wholesome one, it could be suggestive but not smut

Rainy Day Curry

A/N: This is a long one, and you can tell where I got hungry and very invested and lonely, I also struggled with the sugar daddy part but I did add a little bit to introduce the dynamic because I don't work with it a lot but I hope this answers your ask Iand that this fills you with warmth reading it the way it did writing it.

Modern! CEO Zhongli x Modern Assistant F! Reader

(Facial features, body shape, and skin color are not mentioned and any readers who may align with her/her or she/they are welcome to this work of Fanfiction)

Warnings: Rain a lot of rain, OOC Zhongli (For like two seconds), Cats, Cheesy movies (The Princess Bride), spoilers (The Princess Bride), falling in love, Tumblr being toxic and gaslighting me about character limits, Good food that will make you hungry, Pure fluff, Sharing a bed.

Song recs: (It's been a) Long Long Time by Kitty Kallen, Come Away With Me by Norah Jones, Sunrise by Norah Jones, La Foule by Edith Piaf, Bygone Days by Joe Hisaishi, The Time Of Cherries by Tokiko Kato

What kind of chocolate would Zhongli be? Dark chocolate with caramel filling and sea salt on top of course.

Cold fall rain pours on the tall buildings. Cars driving down the wet streets, you type out a document on your monitor the light illuminating the barely lit room, only a few lamps that cast a warm orange glow across the room keeping the atmosphere from being uncanny, you sip hot tea from the mug its calming aroma wafting through your senses providing warmth through your bones. Your boss works on the other side of a big burnt umber door with gold embellishments. He is currently meeting with Ningguang CEO of Jade Chamber Bank or JCB for short, you put the mug down and stretch your arms above your head looking over at the time 2:57 PM, eighteen minutes until the meeting is over then you can go home.

You sigh and finish your tea, standing from your chair letting your legs stretch and wake up for a moment, then walking towards the kitchen to wash your cup placing it on the drying rack. You hear Zhongli’s voice as he opens the door for Ningguang “When should we meet again for the finalizing?” She inquires “I would discuss that with my secretary she knows when I have a free day.” He hums peeking his head out the door to see if you’re there “Very well then, It was pleasant seeing you again Mr. Zhongli” You walk back into the room as Ningguang goes to leave “It was nice meeting you Ma’am have a good afternoon” you say nodding your head towards her, she sends you a smile “Nice meeting you as well secretary” she waves her hand back at you her gold heels clicking on the marble floors towards the door and walking into the hallway. You smile at the woman her confidence radiating wherever she goes, you go to head back to your desk but Zhongli’s silky voice stops you “Can you come in here for a moment?” “Yes sir” You Respond walking towards his office he holds the door open for you, and you walk over only for you to plop down in one of the comfy seats in front of his desk. He sits in his office chair his amber eyes focusing on you as he laces his fingers together and his elbows on his desk “I have a proposal for you” he hums “Oh? And that is?” You ask genuinely curious. “I need a companion of sorts” he looks away from you ‘Is he embarrassed?’ you wonder “What kind of companion?” tilting your head to the side and slightly raising a brow he takes in a deep breath “I need you to be my girlfriend” he admits his eyes meeting yours, you feel your face heat “Mr. Zhongli t-that's widely unprofessional” you look down at your palms “Wait before you assume” he puts a hand up “I simply need you to help me out for a few weeks, I need to stop relieve some stress” his voice remains steady “It’ll come with pay” his eyes making you nervous as you look at him “Can I have time to mull it over?” you ask looking at the clock on the wall 3:15 PM “Yes, please give me your answer as soon as possible so I can have time to prepare” he sighs. You agree and quickly slip out of his office pressing against the cold wood of the door.

You sit back down at your desk, the rain pattering the only thing making noise. You try to get as much work done as possible but your mind is swimming, but you come up with your answer. You stand up and walk to his office door knocking on the wood “Come in” his smooth voice resonates, you step in and your ears perk up at the soft jazz he plays from his small speaker “I have made my decision.” “Oh?” He looks up his eyes gaze curiously at you “I have agreed.”

He grabs your hand his wide gloved palm and slender fingers warming your cold hand, he shifts the umbrella so it covers you more “Mr- I mean dear there is no reason to do that” his shoulder getting the blunt of water “It is quite fine love” His warm eyes stare at you “I- we can just go to my apartment it’s only two blocks away” You invite as Zhongli tightens his hold “Fine if you think that is best” you were originally going to dinner for publicity but it began pouring and you refuse to get sick any less Zhongli. You bring him to your apartment building, close the red umbrella, and walk into the elevator clicking your floor. The tan walls and black rails give Zhongli nostalgia like staying in a nice hotel out in Fontaine, he watches as you dig into your purse for your keys pulling them out of some hidden pocket “I wish they would just give us some damn pockets on our pants” he hears you groan making him chuckle under his breath, you send a playful glare his way zipping your purse back up. You stand in silence as the elevator finally approaches your floor opening the doors, “Ladies first” he hums placing his hand on your lower back noticing the reddening of your cheeks.

You stride into the hallway and find your door unlocking the door, and stepping in. Zhongli closes the door behind him taking off his shoes and placing his wallet and keys in the basket where you put yours “I’ll go find you a sweater, feel free to make yourself at home” you call as you walk further into your apartment, He looks around at the pictures hung on the wall, the nice but cluttered kitchen, the small dining table pushed up against the big window next to the balcony door, the living room with a few plants in the windows. You come back holding a black and beige sweater and a pair of black pants, you also now wear a fluffy hoodie with white pet hair on it and a pair of shorts also covered in pet hair “Here this should fit you, oh let me hang that up to dry for you” You trade off the clothes and you disappear into your bathroom hanging it up in the closet where you dried your clothes and kept your towels “Alright bathroom is yours” you hum walking into the living room “Thank you” Zhongli walks past you as you pick up the clutter from the coffee table, he closes the door and undoes his tie and his undershirt hanging it up on a hanger next to his coat as well, he unfolds the sweater and pulls it on doing the same with the pants. He takes off his gloves and his hair tie and puts it in his coat pocket combing through his hair, he hears you turn off the weather channel to see when it’ll stop. He walks out “How is the weather looking?” he asks stepping up beside you and noticing a small white cat on your lap “It won’t stop raining until later tonight, I can drive you home if you’d like” you offer looking up at him, blushing slightly as you admire his long hair now free from that tight ponytail “Do you want me to go home?” he questions “No of course not, it’s just well, I- to be honest I hate being alone on rainy nights” you pet your cat as she purrs louder, Zhongli tilts your chin to look at him “Then I’ll stay” you nod “Well I don’t have much in my fridge, and we haven’t eaten yet. How about we order something?” You offer, and pick up your phone much to your cat's dislike “Sure, since our plans have been foiled, what do you suggest?” He hums “Pfft, you make this sound like we are plotting villains or something” You chuckle “But I do know this good Sumeru curry place that does take out” You pat the seat next to you for him to come sit. He smiles and does so, your cat surprising him by stretching and finding a place in his lap “What’s her name?” he asks scratching under her chin “Lettie it’s a character from Howl’s Moving Castle” you sigh stroking her long soft fur, he feels you lean against his arm “Here are the options you can get” Zhongli feels a warmth spread through his chest at the simple act he watches as you scroll through the menu recommending your favorites “How about this one?” He points to one that looks very good “I was thinking of that one too” you hum leaning your head on his shoulder, you call the restaurant and place your order with some butter and garlic naan on the side.

You grab the remote “What should we watch?” you inquire “You pick, dear” he looks at your expression watching as your face pinkens at the nickname “Are you all right with Princess Bride?” Zhongli surprises himself as he lets out a laugh “I never thought you’d be into that kind of movie” he exhales in contentment Lettie’s tail moving in disruption you chuckle with him “I am gonna go grab a blanket I’ll be back” you stand up and go into your bedroom coming back with a fluffy weighted blanket you turn down the lights and turn on a lamp that casts a comfy orange light setting a warm and romantic atmosphere, Zhongli lifts the cat so you can slip some of the blanket on his lap you switch on the movie.

There's a knock on the door “Let me get it” Zhongli whispers “Okay, let me pause the movie” You sit up from his chest and grab the remote pushing pause. Zhongli slips off of the couch and to the door grabbing his wallet and handing the man a ten-dollar tip “Thanks man, stay warm” the guy says “You as well” Zhongli hums closing the door, bag of food in his hands he walks into the kitchen and sees your already there with two bowls, a plate, and silverware all waiting “Would you like some water or anything?” you question grabbing two mugss from a cupboard “Do you have tea?” “Mhmm, I have Green, Jasmine, or Earl Grey” You look through your lazy susan “Green, please” You put the bag on the counter, filling up your kettle with water and putting it on its stand so it can heat. Zhongli washes his hands the aroma of lemon and mint resting on his hands, he walks over and puts the curry into the bowls and the naan and rice on the plate, he hears the kettle beep, and as you start steeping the tea. He looks back over his shoulder letting the gentleness of it all fill his heart with warmth, he walks over to you “Can I hold you?” he whispers into your ear “If you want to” he quickly wraps his arms around you and nuzzles his face into your neck your hair ticking his ears “Are you alright?” you inquire “I realized it’s been so long since I’ve held someone like this” even if it was for pretend he can pretend with you. His hot breath warms the cold spot on your neck your heart swells at the sweetness of the moment, like sitting by the heater on a snowy day reading with hot chocolate and cookies. You lean into him “I could get used to this” you mumble focusing on the tea, you hear your cat run down the hallway the little jingling bell on her collar announcing when she is nearby, and her little “Mrow?” and trills when she can’t find you or feels left out. You snort as she runs into the kitchen weaving between both of your kegs “Is it dinner time Lettie?” you tease your wide smile making your speech slur a little, Zhongli presses a kiss behind your ear unwrapping himself from you “Thanks I needed that” he clears his throat “Any time” you hum “Do you want me to feed her?” he asks picking up her food bowl “If you would that would be great, it’s in the fridge second shelf purple can.”

You both sit back down on the couch and resume your movie, shoveling the hot food in your mouths scratching that persistent itch as the curry fulfills your cravings.

In the end, Westly gets Buttercup, Inigo, and Fezzik are close friends, everyone lives happily, and the boy has a wonderful memory with his grandpa.

"Let's head to bed" you yawn "Where am I sleeping?" he yawns himself "Don't be silly, there's enough room in my bed for the both of us." "That woul-" he tries to interject "It's my job" He sighs but smiles and follows you.

And now two people and a cat cuddling under soft blankets as cold fall rain patters against the glass.

🍂*₊“𝐀𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧”

wc: 1.2k (no beta, we die like the light in Childe's eyes) prompt used: "sharing scarves" for the falltober prompt 'event' of @astronetwrk! a/n: this post has been queued weeks in advance.

The sweltering summer days had given way to gloomy ones. From dusk to dawn, rain would fall down from the skies, the once bright colors of blooming flora now replaced by stale brown, further intensifying the bleak atmosphere.

And just like the seasons, your clothes had changed these past weeks as well. The once short and breezy outfits had been replaced by sweaters and jeans, and it still left you defenseless against the cold winter zephyrs in Snezhnaya. Every breeze made you shiver, and the only solution was to clutch your jacket closer to your body and bury your hands as deep as you could in your pockets.

You had been waiting for your boyfriend, Ajax, who definitely should’ve been back by now. He had told you to wait at one of the lonely benches out in the town streets while he’d fetch hot chocolate from a small cafe, but when you checked your phone, ten minutes had already passed, and you knew the lines couldn’t be that long.

So here you were, idly watching other people pass by as you waited for his return.

If you knew Ajax (you did, you’d been with him for a while now), you’d bet money on the fact that he’d gotten distracted by the new Halloween decorations hanging everywhere in the town.

These last few days, Ajax had been rambling non-stop about ‘Halloween’ and how he’d bring his younger brother, Teucer, for trick or treating, something he’d done for many years now. He wanted to get matching outfits with him, but when Teucer threw a fit, saying; “I’m not longer a kid”, he turned to you instead.

If he was taking this long, he’d probably be stuck behind a window, eying a decoration he hadn’t seen before and thinking of the next matching outfit to suggest to you.

A ping chimes from your phone. It successfully throws you out of your daze and you grab the phone with a sense of urgency. The sooner you’d be able to put your hands back in the safety and warmth of your pockets, the better.

After you unlock the screen with your numb fingers, you click on the notification from Ajax. It’s a selfie.

Half of his face is hidden behind his red scarf, his nose that barely peeked out from behind the fabric is dusted a soft shade of pink, it brings a nice contrast to the freckles coating his cheekbones and bridge of his nose. In his left hand, he holds a small flimsy-looking tray with two paper cups (the hot chocolate, you assume), and behind him is an adorable illustration of two ghosts.

A puff of air escapes your lips. You can’t hide the smile that forms on your face.

Quickly, another notification pops up and you send a message back before he has the chance to scavenge the internet for white sheets with cut-out holes.

The message is read, and his status turns from online to offline soon after. It only takes a few seconds before you see your boyfriend rushing to you through the streets.

“Are you alright?” Ajax’s eyes glance up and down your figure. His face is scrunched into an expression of guilt and worry.

He moves his free hand to yours as he sits down next to you on the bench, frowning when he feels your cold hands. He gently rubs his thumb over your knuckles. “We’ll need to buy you gloves. I don’t think it’s healthy for you to get cold so quickly.”

“I wouldn’t need any if my boyfriend would keep me warm instead of hunting ghosts on store windows.” You retort back with a cheeky smile. His mere presence is enough for you to feel warmer again.

His worry falters for a moment, replaced by a smile before returning. “Here, —” He removes his hand from yours and wiggles one of the paper cups from the flimsy tray. “Drink up. It’s the best you can get in Morepesok”

To your delight, the hot chocolate is still warm when you bring it up to your lips. You don’t need to wait for it to cool down, it’s the perfect temperature, and you sigh in content after downing half of it in one go.

Ajax brushes the back of his hand against your cheek. “You can have mine as well. I’m used to Snezhnayan winters, I can handle it.”

You roll your eyes as you huddle closer into your jacket. “It’s autumn, dumbass.”

A snort escapes his lips. “You call those flimsy two weeks of ‘brown leaves’ autumn?”

Fair enough.

You scoff, and the puff of air that escapes your lips forms into a small cloud before it dissipates again.

While you were both studying in Liyue, Ajax had often mentioned how gentle the weather had been compared to the conditions he grew up in. He’d talked about ice fishing, a thing he still does, and made fun of the foreigners coming to visit the Nation during the winter months.

It’s ironic how you’re one of those people now.

“Hold this,” Ajax shoves his own cup into your hands and removes the scarf from his neck. He seems adamant about keeping you warm and doesn’t give you time to question him as he wraps the fabric around your face in a delicate manner.

With the scarf out of his face, you’re able to see how he purses his lips in concentration as he tucks the end of the red fabric into a loose loop, preventing any cold air from attacking your neck any further.

It smells like him. You first catch a hint of lavender from the laundry detergent his family uses, but with the scarf right at your nose, you also notice how it failed to fully cover his natural body scent.

In a way, the scarf comforts you. Not only is it warming you up and preventing you from the cold breezes, but it also reminds you of the moments spent in his arms.

You look up into his eyes when he finally stops fussing over you.

“But now you’ll get cold.“ Your voice comes out muffled.

Ajax bumps his shoulder gently into yours. “See it as payback for making you wait.“

He takes the paper cup he had previously shoved into your hands and drinks his own share of hot choco. “If you feel bad about it, you can always offer to share.“ He turns to you with a cheeky smile on his face.

And while you know he wasn’t being serious, you urge him closer.

Like he had done with you before, you shove your now half-empty cup into his hands before removing the fabric around your neck. With a little bit of help on his side, you’re able to wrap the scarf around the both of you. Admittedly, this doesn’t nearly provide as much warmth as it did before, but Ajax was already making up for that.

His shoulder is comfortably pressed against yours, and when he turns his head to face you, your noses are but a mere inch away from touching each other.

You smile. “Tell me about the diy ghost outfit?“

He lets out a chuckle as he hands you your half-full paper cup. “Couldn’t let me enjoy the moment for a little while longer?”

The airport ☆

At the airport with Ayato, Childe, Diluc, Venti, Xiao, and Zhongli (in order) Genre: fluff. crack? - gn!reader - modern au

AYATO-- ★

Ayato probably bought part of the airport tbh. Anyways moving on, lines at the airport would just disappear, he would have first class and top of the line additions onto your trips. You would just walk into the airport and everything would just be open for you. Even then you can’t control the customers who would complain to customer service about this but Ayato would handle it. He would literally give them a refund and kick them out of the airport on the spot. Security would be very easy, so with that out of the way now you.ve arrived at the gate. I think he would let you shop around and buy snacks for the trip. finally the plane has arrived and now it’s just the wait. The plane trip would be quite nice counting the top of the line seats and service. If you happen to fall asleep I think Ayato would you rest on his should while he reads a book. He’s probably the type of guy to read books about marriage “for educational reasons.” It’s his version of school to figure out how to propose to you. 10/10 trip would do it again as many times as I could.

CHILDE-- ★

oh boy. 💀 Childe would get you guys kicked out of the airport. no doubt about it. The moment you step into the airport there’s a problem. I have a small headcannon the Fatui and the harbingers are a well known mafia in the modern au so I’m going to apply that here as well. Anyways, everybody’s going to be staring at you guys, maybe not at you directly mostly at childe. Then when you finally are about to check your bags they ask the standard questions with a questionable amount of hesitation. “.. A-any weapons, cigarettes, alcohol, or illegal products in any of the bags?” And this man has the audacity to say a simple “no” with a smirk on his face. THERE IS A LITERAL SWITCH BLADE AND A PISTOL IN THERE. Don’t worry he says it’s for “educational and safety purposes” calm down everybody. Security is even worse though, the alarm goes off on his bag so your heading over there after putting your shoes on and you just see multiple police walking towards Childe. At this point you just grab your bag(s) and watch from a distance. Sadly as usual he see’s this as a challenge and fights his way out of it. At least he has the money (hopefully not stolen money) to get you a private jet to your destination. But it’s not going to be comfortable having to talk childe out of having a healthy, safe, and legal airport trips from now on. but I doubt it will work, sorry reader.

DILUC-- ★

Going on a trip with Diluc is quite peaceful actually. He’s already has everything prepared and he has payed transportation to get you guys there already. I think he would probably handle most of the bags for you, and checking in would be quite nice as well. Security is the only issue as the lines are quite long sadly. But either way you take advantage of the time talking and bonding with each other. Thankfully no red flags are raised going through security unlike other (Cough Childe Cough). Diluc probably already has small snacks and treats for you to eat at the airport while you’re waiting. for some reason he wouldn’t want to buy anything from the food court because he believes it’s “unsanitary.” Once you get on the plane I think you and Diluc would take for a little bit until he rest his head on your shoulder and tries to fall asleep. Diluc hates turbulence, so he always tries to sleep though plane flights so he doesn’t have to deal with it. If he wakes up before it’s time to land he might talk to you or try to do paper work for the tavern on a plane. Come on Diluc you should be relaxing please.

VENTI-- ★

Venti hates airports. Not because of the long lines to check in your bag and get through security. Or waiting long dreadful hours in the airport because your flight was delayed. No, he hates them because he’s petty. In the modern au I believe Venti gets a job as a pilot, so if you tell Venti you’re packing for the airport he gets all grumpy. His excuse is “Why go to an airport I could fly you to wherever you need to go! Are you trying to tell me those airport pilots fly better than me??” After long back and fourth arguments, you finally get him to the airport. Venti would try to rush and get everything done as quick as possible so he can just get the flight process over with. He probably gives disappointed looks to the employees out of full spite and jealousy. Once you make it to your gate, Venti going to quickly try to fine a food court to get some snacks for the trip. He would definitely share one large pretzel with you, but you have to buy it. he claims it’s to make up for taking him here. once you finally get on the plane, Venti would talk to you and play little fun games while you there. but once you get in the sky he’s fast asleep. Maybe you get some peace and time to yourself on plane rides.

XIAO-- ★

Xiao is also another person who hates airports. He doesn’t hate the actual airport himself, he just hates the people. It’s gets him frustrated having to be in a small place for up to many hours with so many people around you. He’s already grumpy the moment your driving there so I hope that’s a sign to you this might not be the best trip. I feel like he would scare other customer and employees? Not as much as Childe but enough for them to hurry up the process. Security takes longer though, with his appearance the guards are very hesitant to let him through. So you’re spending who knows how long at the security checkpoint waiting for Xiao. He would try to find somewhere to buy almond tofu from in the airport. He might use your credit card but at least he shares with you right? Once you make it on the plane, you’re going to have to ignore the passengers giving you both weird stares constantly. If you fall asleep at the plane he would literally just stare at you?? He feels as if he has nothing else to do so he either looks out the window or just stares at you. Fortunately, he finds a book he can read to distract himself for awhile. Lucky you, I guess.

ZHONGLI-- ★

Thankfully, you can actually have a normal flight with Zhongli. He’s the type of person who packs weeks in advance always thinking of any possibility that could happen. I believe he’s also somebody to buy first class in everything just for you guys to have a smooth flight to wherever you plan to go. Checking in your bags are fine and everything is below the weight limit as well. Security is very easy and everything just goes well in general. While he would let you buy things from the food court, he also hesitates like Diluc checking if everything is clean and sanitary. He would probably tell you stories from the past of modern Liyue if your flight was delayed. You might enjoy his stories but its the perfect thing to get you sleepy. Would bring you both to first class and let you rest upon his shoulder. Unlike Xiao he wont stare at you for to long, but he might stare at you once in a while. He’s mostly busy reading. He might fall asleep with you n the flight. At least he’ll wake you up once you arrive.

also also I know everyone likes to talk about how good of an archon Venti is because he left mondstadt to do its own thing and hey look Zhongli's doing the same now with his retirement but I also like how the story shows it isn't without flaws, with so much freedom in the city it's all too easy to take control with power, Mondstadt's people may be free but they also don't have a god to actually uphold the ideal they stand for and how personal freedoms conflict, discrimination(eg. against Eula and her clan) is allowed because the people are free to do whatever they want, the fatui really wormed their way into mondstadt during the webtoon + nearly did with Davalin bc the people of mondstadt do whatever they want so Jean is overworked and the knights are ineffective(according to Diluc), and how mondstadt might have been the least free place for the common people during the Lawrences rule despite being the region governed by the archon of freedom

Zhongli at least first tested his people were ready before retiring, Venti kinda acended, organized a bunch of celebrations for his people, then left them to have fun with their newfound freedom only interveining when things get really bad

#to be fair zhongli's only left his people for a couple of years so who knows maybe if he left them for long enough #despite honing his nation on honesty and contracts things would delve into chaos too #or a capitalistic mess and we all know what it's like to live in one of those #now if liyue didn't have plot-armour-due-to-chinese-region-in-a-chinese-game............#my thoughts on liyue are 'god i wish its story was actually about the common folk common folk #but what i know of the chinese government is the communist party represents the common folk #so in reality it's more like common-folk-party-does-so-good-for-the-common-folk see????'#i really like liyue and its environment too!#wish they explored its flaws too and didn't present it as perfect due to china-chinese-media-relationship!#all of liyue's plots are like 'it's the time of the common folk i want to tell stories about the common people'#'(but also hold on to tradition and respect the traditions which are represented by the adepti)'#can we pls have some actual flaws like the rigidity of contracts and lack of change and rule of tradition #instead of 'contracts are good and honest and also change as the times change for the good of the people'#like yes zhongli at least tested his people before implementing that big change of stepping down #but also if the game didn't have to put china in a positive light tbh idk if he would have done that #as it might be more interesting to explore his archonhood ideal in both its good and its bad #and may have focused more on liyue's difficulting in changing and adapting to the modern tiemes #if venti is the god of freedom and is too free at times then zhongli the god of contracts is too stagnant at times #i have. complicated feelings about liyue due to my complicated feelings about being raised chinese #so mondstadt my fav for representing and giving people freedom #genshin talk

I'm posting my silly headcanons

Here's an introduction to my genshin au, yes it's modern but I may have interpretated a few things, first of all, it's known as Modernized magic au (Acronym: MMAu)

Next hcs: Nationalities!

To start off, Venti, Zhongli, Ei & Makoto, Nahida, Furina, Murata, Tsaritsa and other god-like characters are all disguised as humans. (Makoto lives in this au)

The Fatui is the mafia for this au.

Sandrone and Dottore are related. (Uncle and niece) (Fun fact: Dottore got arrested for physical violence because he protected Sandrone)

Alrecchino and Eula are twin sisters.

Arlecchino has Spock/elf ears.

Xiangling, Xingqiu, Xu and Yelan are all siblings! (Xu is an npc but I gave him a vision, I see them as siblings)

Xiangling and Xingqiu are twins. (You cannot convince me to change this, I looked at their splasharts.)

Klee and Albedo are biological siblings. (Sue me.)

Sayu is 11 years old but she's in the eighth grade. (She's a smart kid/naturally gifted)

If there's a school play, you can always count on YunJin to operate it and it will always go according to plan.

Freminet had no friends, not until he was approached by Dori, who said she could pair him up with compatible people.

Lyney, Lynette and Freminet were all part of a travelling circus, which meant they were homeschooled by Caesar. (If you saw or played Lyney's story quest, you'd know who Caesar is, and yes, they're all biologically related in this au.)

Layla and Collei love to tease Bennett and Razor about their relationship.

Chongyun fell first but Xingqiu fell harder.

Aloy knows that Tartaglia's real job isn't a teacher. (They're siblings for a reason)

Aloy doesn't like being thrown in the dark, so when she was young, Tartaglia would often give her the attention she needs, despite the fact she was in elementary and he was in highschool, Teucer didn't mind anyway. (I feel bad for saying this since Aloy is neglected in game as well)

Furina(Focalors) had always loved Venti(Barbatos), after he "ascended" to Celestia, she believed she could never find him again... Well, she was wrong, she did find him.

Xinyan always thought why Lyney always had a face of guilt when they discuss about falling from high places. Maybe a bad memory?

HuTao watches over Qiqi since they're both adopted by Baizhu, HuTao always makes sure that Qiqi is close by or guarded by her best friends.

Kujou Sara is infertile so she adopted Bennett and YaoYao with Arataki Itto

Tsaritsa, Sucrose, Xiangling, Bennett, Dori and Diona are the student council.

Mika is a transmasc, he transitioned when he was young.

Freminet has a spade on his face as a birthmark, like his brother and sister.

Paimon, Lumine and Aether are all siblings. (I adore it when people give the three the sibling dynamic, they share a braincell.)

Chongyun has a yandere-ish side he won't show Xingqiu.

Tighnari adopted Collei and Razor before he married Cyno. (Cyno met Nari through Nilou, so technically, Cyno is a dad-dad, not stepdad.)

Nilou is the rich aunt and she places work before love so y'all know damn well she spoils her neice and nephew. (I love aroace Nilou)

Cyno and Nilou are siblings.

Arataki Itto and Kuku Shinobu are half-siblings. (Itto is about 4-5 years older than Shinobu. Itto's mom died so his dad remarried and then Shinobu came into the world, and Itto was protective of her during their highschool years)

Gaming and Chongyun are twin brothers. (Chongyun is the introvert and Gaming is the extrovert)

/takes a little breath amidst a quiet dash. Starter call!

Though I have threads/asks to get to, I'm curious if one of these would catch anyone's attention. I know sending in sentence starters isn't always up everyone's alley and it's a little harder when it comes to interacting with a character who's canonically dead in present day, like mine. Although (I need to write up the details for the first iteration of it) I do have her resurrected in a present timeline (see tags). If you're interested in me either coming to you, or fishing up something with a bit of a red line, give this a like and I'll see what I can do! Trust me when I say, if we're mutuals, I'm interested in writing with you. See this as a little cheat to grab my attention if you want it!

#[ so i've simply been dying to get her in a modern setting /without/ changing the course of events. ]#[ so while i need to refine the details and the circumstances may differ down the line-- it won't affect interact with most of you-- ]#[ as i heavily tie guizhong to the moon/night due to too many references to it in her attire and symbolisms alike... ]#[ and also to the chasm and its origins-- that's a whole other hc. ]#[ i've decided the first iteration of resurrecting her to simply be based within the concept that the gods never quite die... ]#[ because the elements that they're tied to never do either. they're not 'personifications' by any means-- but they're a part of. ]#[ they can manifest into a corporeal form and in the same way; that form can be broken and destroyed. ]#[ and it weakens them immensely; a much more severe form of osial being 'restrained'/locked away for thousands of years. ]#[ i envision that they can't simply reform. but they could over-time. or at least when 'stars align' of sorts. ]#[ when their element is at its strongest and can gather elemental energy from /somewhere/. ]#[ so /after/ the events of the game thus far-- during moonchase; on the night when the moon is at its fullest... ]#[ and at its apex. it's shining less brightly than it normally is-- and it's because it's being used as a battery of sorts. ]#[ you know all of the dust above cuejiue slope? that cloud of dust moves towards the cliff by the harbor-- by that sole glaze lily. ]#[ and dust from across liyue and possibly even teyvat-- slowly gathers. it would look like a shadow from afar. ]#[ and it gathers and along with the energy that the moon supplies that night; when everything falls into place... ]#[ it allows her to regain her corporeal form as it existed prior. ]#[ this is after 'rex lapis' has stepped down and retreats from his position as archon of liyue. ]#[ she doesn't step in by any means whatsoever-- her re-manifestation is actually (in my verse) witnessed by him from afar. ]#[ and then witnesses it up close as she finally forms after a long time of this process. ]#[ she wouldn't go by 'guizhong' except by adepti who remember; but she might go by haagentus. at least initially. ]#[ /breathes. hi. hello. i'm sae and i'm a mess of an individual-- pls come here and don't leave me despite it. ]#[ ooc. ] wherever her spirit may be among the countless grains of sand and specks of dust between the harbor and the mountains…

Another day with Geoanemo family

AU explanation under here:

For those who are wondering, I have a Geoanemo family AU, born just cause I thought that the interactions between my genshin mains were fun. In this au Xiao has a twin, Alatus, an oc i made from Xiao's beta design, and they are guili/zhongguang's children. From a misunderstanding, Xiao and Gorou think Noelle is something like a god warrior so they start following her trying to learn to fight from her, but she's actually only super strong. They all became friends and they have their little adventures, but Xiao and Gorou sometimes fight, nothing to worry about it, just some cat vs dog fight to have their master's attention. Oh, I forgot to mention that in this au Xiao, Alatus and Gorou can shapeshift and turn themselves into animals. Also in modern au they live together and share a flat. I also have a witches au where they all are Noelle's familiars. The dogs here are Tawara (Gorou's camp dog from his bday art) and Shirou (his family dog, the one in his burst).

I know Beidou's probably filthy rich, but I like to imagine that Ningguang's the one who bought her her own cadillac in that one collaboration.

#watching the official collaboration ruins the immersion SO MUCH #like they're both at Liyue Harbor next to the CRUX #THEN THEY'RE JUST DRIVING DOWN A NORMAL ASS MODERN DAY ROAD IN THESE CARS #like WHAT #beigguang #genshin #genshin impact #beidou #genshin beidou #ningguang #genshin ningguang

How I think all the Mondstadt and Liyue playable Genshin characters text + extra stuff about their phones (slight modern au)

A/N: So before I start, heyyy 😍 I know I’ve been gone for like ages but I’ve been trying to come up with ideas. Also wanted to say that I am INDEED alive so enjoy ❤️

Rosaria:

Okay let’s be fr she probably has great grammar without even trying

Definitely uses the little ‘ (I forgot what it’s called) she gets slightly annoyed when people don’t use it 😀

Only uses dots when she’s serious

Mostly a dry texter but when she’s drunk it gets a bit better

Kaeya:

We all know he’d never be a dry Texter

Uses „Lmao“ a LOT and I mean A LOT

Allergic to dots at the end of messages (will probably use them while texting Jean or other knights tho)

He‘d be a fun person to text

Uses „~“ at the end of flirty texts from time to time but you never know if he just uses it as a joke 💀

A very fast texter btw

Rarely misspells anything but if he does it’s BAD.

Never leaves you on read (if he likes you), he either sees the message or he doesn’t

Mona:

She definitely uses a lot of commas (how you’re supposed to)

If she texts you something it’s probably gonna be a whole paragraph

She will use dots at the end of sentences depending on her mood

Never misspells anything for some reason (it’s autocorrect)

Prefers just calling you because her hands are wet most of the time

I just wanna add her that phone is definitely waterproof because her outfit doesn’t have any pockets so she drops it a lot while doing her sprint

Diluc:

Oh boy here we go

So I think he’d be more of a dry texter if you two aren’t that close but it definitely gets a slight bit better if you know him for long enough

He isn’t that slow when texting

Has left you on read accidentally because he is a very busy person and just forgot about your message (forgive him)

Very good grammar and doesn’t need autocorrect to save him

I‘d like to add his phone is on silent mode most of the times so he doesn’t get interrupted while working or being in a meeting

Jean:

Okay first off I feel like she forgets where she puts her phone a lot bc of work and stuff

Her brightness is all the way up. Literally. Like all of the moms have it

She doesn’t have multiple tabs open (surprisingly)

Okay but when she texts you she definitely says „Ok“. She isn’t mad she’s just a dry texter dw

Will add random emojis. You’ll see „😃“ or „😊“ a lot

Uses emojis as their original meaning

Overall just texts like a millennial mom

Venti:

TEXTING HIM IS SO FUNNN OMG

Understands gen z humor 😍

You will get a LOT of random texts at the most random times. For example „Just got kicked out of the angels share“ - 2 am

Texts you a lot when he’s drunk and when he does you can’t read SHIT

The exact opposite of a dry texter

Allergic to not only cats but dots AND commas

Will send you random song texts, also texts of his songs

Phone calls are very chaotic. You could be facetiming him and he’s just on some random tree

Does not leave you on read. Man’s has a lot of free time 💪

10/10 text him

Barbara:

She’s somewhere in between dry texter and not dry texter

Uses „!!“ at the end of sentences a lot

Tried helping Jean with the way she texts and failed

If you have WhatsApp you know you can post stuff in your story. She posts videos of her and the other sisters singing in the Kathedrale

Her brightness is all the way up too. I just know it.

Her chat background picture is a pic of her and jean

Definitely apologizes after realizing she left you on read

The way she texts just radiates comforting energy

Razor:

Ily but who gave you a phone 😕

He texts the way he speaks. Like literally.

His spelling is better than you think but it’s still really bad

When he remembered commas and dots exist he just placed them in sentences randomly…“lok razor. Faund rabit in, howle. Today.“

Very very very very slow texter. Might take him a good 5 minutes to write one sentence (and its not even grammatically correct)

His phone case has bite marks.

Keeps his brightness pretty low cause he burned his eyes w it once..he doesn’t trust it anymore.

Lisa:

This girl.

She leaves you on read on purpose sometimes to tease you

Also somewhere between dry textin and…wet texting??? (I mean not dry texting I’m sorry 😭)

Uses commas perfectly. Ignores dots most of the times

She definitely changed her settings so now anytime she types „i“ it corrects to „I“ immediately (I did that too 😋)

If you’re a forgetful bookworm, most of her texts are just her reminding you to not. Forget. To return. Your books. (RIP if you do)

Albedo:

Perfect grammar

Literally never misspells ANYTHING. You will never catch this man misspelling shit

Puts his drawings in his story a lot

He isn’t online that much so sometimes it takes him days to answer to your texts 😔

But if you do ask him something he will give you a detailed answer. Detailed enough to make you have to ask him to dumb it down for you

Uses „Mhm“ a lot

Medium texter. Not fast but also not slow

If he’s confused he will just use „???“

Sucrose:

I honestly don’t have much to say about her

She doesn’t text you that much

Daily good morning texts tho

I think she does voice mails most of the time

Keeps her brightness down bc eyesight 😍 (Same)

Her phone „dings“ anytime she gets a message

Keeps her tone on Incase there is an emergency

Amber:

Her phone is turned off most of the time bc she’s on duty outside a lot (the monsters could hear her)

Texts a lot like Barbara

Good morning and night texts EVERY DAY. The day she doesn’t text it is the day she died

Records cute animals she sees on outside duty and puts it in her story

Its „Yup“ or „Yep“ instead of yes

Has a mini baron bunny attached to her phone case (dw it doesn’t explode)

Her storage is fighting for its life with all those videos

Eula:

She doesn’t text a lot of people. Only the knights and amber have her number sooo 😀

Dry texter. I can smell it

Will leave you on read a lot

Basically her whole phone is blue themed. Case, background, pfp, the phone itself

Might put some Dragonspine swimming tips in her story bc amber said it’s about time she posts something in there

Her brightness is almost all the way up

Her ringtone is definitely her favorite song. (she starts moving to the beat of it when she gets calls) Will wait a little longer to pick up her phone just to listen to it a bit more

Klee:

Isn’t allowed to have a phone yet. I mean she’s 8

Does have an iPad tho (she doesn’t get it a lot bc yk she has bombs with her at all times)

If you see her with an iPad, it isn’t her first one. (She blew up a few)

Has a dodoco keychain attached to the side of her ipad

It’s kinda sad but she spells better than razor does…

Her spelling might be pretty good but her grammar is…a little off.

Will call you at random times (begged Jean to make the cocomelon music her ringtone)

Diona:

She has discord. I just know it.

(I wanna add that she vents about her dad and alcohol in her notes app)

Anyways she definitely says „K“ instead of „Okay“

Her screen is a bit sticky because of all the drinks she mixes

Uses a lot of question marks in a..rude way? „So???“

While calling she leaned her phone on something while mixing a drink. The phone landed in the drink. (This happened at least once)

Fischl:

Long paragraphs and the meaning would be „wanna meet up??“

Tries texting in a cool and fischl way but if she ends up misspelling anything she’ll be embarrassed and blame oz for not correcting her (she can’t stay mad at him)

You will see a bunch of commas in her texts bc they are so dang long 😭

She has discord too. You can’t tell me otherwise

Her phone is on dark mode 🙏 one of the only phones that WON‘T burn your eyeballs

One of the main reasons she misspells stuff is because she has an eyepatch (does this even make sense 💀)

Bennett:

Bennett…..

Starting off with his phone- it’s cracked. Like really cracked.

His phone was supposed to be waterproof but it turns out it actually isn’t

Cracked screen..you can’t really tell what you’re looking at when he tries to show you a pic

Has at leas 10 different viruses (same)

Also someone that uses „!!“ a lot

I recommend calling him instead of texting because he can barely see what he’s writing 💀💀💀

Calls are VERY VERYYY chaotic because of his bad luck. One second he could be showing you the ducks in cider lake, the next all you can see is water and seaweed..

His phone falls out of his pockets all the time. He also drops it onto his face a lot

Yknow what just stick to voice mails for the sake of him 🙁

Noelle:

Clean phone, not a single crack in the screen

A sweet dry texter

Uses „hehe“ from time to time

Good morning and night texts everyday no matter what

I think she uses these a lot: „:D :) :( :/“

CLEAR PHONE CASE idk she just gives me the vibe 😭

Her alarm and ringtone are calming songs. Like I would wake up to them and actually be productive, makes ya feel motivated and shii

_______________________________________________

Zhongli:

This is gonna be hilarious

A dry texter but at least he uses „Okay“ instead of „Ok“

The PERFECT grammar and spelling. Dots and commas are being used, these ‘ too

Every single message is like you’re reading some kind of book

He tries his best understanding memes give him a break 😭

Looks at his phone in that one dad angle

Brightness all the way UP and tons of tabs OPEN. „I‘ll get back to them“ you know damn well.

Doesn’t use emoticons but he does use emojis…rarely. The occasional „😁“

His ringtone is either some ancient Chinese song or something…exotic? 😭 I don’t know how to describe it

Leaves you on read a lot but doesn’t understand what’s so bad about it till someone tells him

Good morning and night texts but make it EXTRA. It’ll be those pics with „Good Morning“ on them in cursive and flowers and glitter in the background (pls tell me y’all know what I mean)

Childe:

Not a dry texter but also not an extreme fun texter like kaeya (but that more)

I feel like he uses stuff like „huh“ and „oho“ a lot

He seems like a person that would use „LOL“ more than „lmao“

Another person that doesn’t use dots 😍

He knows how to use emojis ANDD understands gen z humor

Texts you a lot of dark jokes when he’s supposed to be working for some reason

A lot of his texts are him asking if he should buy you something (if you say no he will anyways btw)

He travels a lot so he sends you a lot of pics of sights in different nations ❤️

Ningguang:

The way she texts is elegant and idek how to explain it

Sends you a lot of fit pics (I wouldn’t mind)

Uses a lot of shortcuts when talking about work related stuff

Her phone case is beautiful I just know it

Puts videos of the view from the jade chamber in her story (when she has the time to)

I think she’d send a lot of voice mails bc she knows her voice is just YES

I feel like she has a lot of people blocked for whatever reason 😭

Beidou:

Uses a lot of shortcuts in general

Might send a few memes here and there

Also somewhere in between dry texter and fun texter

Her story is full of videos of the sea and crux introduction videos

Has a lot of contacts (every single crux member, ningguang, merchants, …)

I feel like her pfp would either be a pic of the sunrise or a funny pic of her face

Her phone is waterproof for obvious reasons !!

Hu Tao:

Black phone case black phone case black phon-

Her phone case also has a chain on it and it looks super cool 😋

Definitely a fun texter

Uses „HAHA“ a lot and sends you a bunch of memes

Puts videos of her pranking people (mainly zhongli) in her story

Her pfp Is either a ghost or a funny pic of her (I think it would probably be the funny pic)

I think she would record videos of her talking to ghosts and send you them at 3 am 😭

Definitely has different prank ideas in her notes app

Xinyan:

Her ringtone is one of her songs

Her phone is on dark mode too

Okay xinyans phone is very cool looking. Its all different shades of black and red and uahsjsjs 😍

Not a dry texter either and understands gen z humor

She probably uses „AYEEE“ a lot Idk why I think that but I can just see it 😋

Also Part of the discord gang

Yanfei:

Clear phone case with rosé outline. Change my mind.

Definitely has some important notes in her case

This girl has a to do list in her notes app.

I don’t know if she would be a dry texter or not but tbh I think it depends on who she’s talking to

Not a single tab open and that honestly scares me..

Her alarms aren’t even that loud but she has NEVER missed any

Xiangling:

Yet another person that uses „!!“ a lot. And yes that specific amount of them

Her phone is definitely waterproof just incase bc she hunts a lot yknow

Puts a lot of videos of herself hunting and cooking in her story

She’d text „YESS!!“ a lot when people suggest ingredients for her dishes

A sturdy phone case with a guoba sticker slapped on it

Keqing:

When she texts you it’s like she’s writing some kind of report

Dots, commas, ’ and sometimes skips a line

Never forgets the question marks at the end of questions

Good morning texts but no good night texts (idk why I just feel like it)

ALSO has a clear phone case.

Qiqi:

Sweet little baby.

I don’t know her physical age but lets just say she has a phone 😭

Definitely forgets she has your number and gets confused when you text her all of a sudden

Has a drawing of a cocogoat (that she made herself) as pfp and background

Has forgotten her pin multiple times and when she wrote it down she didn’t know what the numbers meant so she just told baizhu her pin 💀

Forget good morning and night texts you’ll get foot afternoon texts

Such a dry texter. You could think she’s dead.

Yunjin:

Okay she overuses GIFs and I know it

Most of the things she sends you are videos of her singing (not complaining)

She’s gonna have links to websites you can get tickets on in her status. I just know it.

Texts a LOT like barbara and uses „<3“ a lot (wether its sarcastic or not)

Her, Barbara, Nilou, Xinyan and have a group chat called „IDOLZ🌟“ (Miss Hina might be in there too)

Ganyu:

Oh lord.

Now you’d probably think her phone is all organized and stuff but NO its…pretty messy

It’s an organized mess. She knows where the stuff she needs is but if YOU saw all that your brain would over heat 😭

A BUNCH of reminders and alarms (the alarms are each 10 minutes apart for the morning invade she falls asleep after waking up)

She definitely uses „😂“ as laughing emoji

Dry in the non driest way possible iykwim <3

Still doesn’t know everything about her own phone

Xiao:

I don’t think its possible to get dryer than HE is

He is trying okay 💔

You think he wont be able to understand this technology? WRONG

This man is a full time gamer and streamer

Definitely tries to show Zhongli how everything works (now he needs to work on his dryness)

He’s a dry Texter and he KNOWS so he will send random memes from time to time to lighten the mood 😋

Xinqiu:

Definitely NOT a dry texter

He understands every single reference you make ❤️

Will share fanfic links with you everyday. (Please bmf Xinqiu)

He texts back really quickly even tho he’s supposed to be busy doing guild stuff???

Screenshots of funny quotes from stories he’s reading and the BEST recommendations!!!

Chongyun:

• Inspirational quotes in his status, no ghost sign as pfp and the drawing of a really famous exorcist as his wallpaper

He‘s basically like those football obsessed boys but with exorcism…and nicer

I think he is dry but just a TINY. Bit

Brightness all the way UP to „train his eyes“ (don’t ever look at his phone without wearing sunglasses)

Yelan:

Not a dry texter at ALL

She def flirts over text a LOT (gives her a confidence boost along with the one she already has)

She always knows where you are. Just don’t ask why

Will text back even MID FIGHT.

Probably has one of those THICK but fancy phone cases

Also has a waterproof phone since she’s wet a lot (🤭)

Face times a lot because she just always looks good so why not

YaoYao:

Definitely has an iPad too

Surprisingly texts in full sentences and has really good grammar 💪

(Not much because I don’t know a lot about her yet 😭)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

A/N: I hope you liked this because it took AGES to complete 😭

hello! if your requests are open could i please request venti and chongyun (weird combo but i love them) with a male s/o who goes out skateboarding a lot when he’s stressed about things?

thanks in advance if you choose to write this and have a nice day!

OFCCCC I LOVE VENTI AND CHONGYUN!! HOPE THIS COMES OUT THE WAY YOU EXPECTED ANON<3 ugggghhh disclaimer I do not skateboard</3 I'm so sorry if this is inaccurate. *cough I think it is*

“I'm this close to getting Life360” -Venti probably

—set in modern, highschool! au with male reader!! (it's messy i know! I'll fix it someday...)

Venti;

-You and Venti have been neighbors all throughout your lives. He can read you as well as his music sheets. And he definitely knew how you coped with things such as stress.

-Venti enjoyed skateboarding with you. Is he actually good at it? That's a whole other question. (He isn't but he'd instead fall off a thousand more times than admit it.)

-Hell, this man would trip and fall so many times you were actually worried but he still remained as optimistic as ever!!

-If you didn't tell him you were going out, he'd be worried. Usually, near exam days or rough times, you'd often go without warning. And Venti would either look for you in your usual spots or just keep his window wide open for any hopes of seeing you return.

It was getting late, the sun was half-set, but Venti couldn't stop the anxious taps of his fingers on the sweet brown wood of his study table. Papers and wrappers were scattered everywhere but the poor boy was just staring out his window and peeking at your house across the street.

Often days, you would bring him with you to the park. Him racing you with his bike instead of an actual skateboard because he likes it better. And it makes you two stand on equal grounds. You would stay there for hours together, mindlessly chatting and laughing around as Venti tried learning how to skateboard yet again, but ultimately falling once he got too excited.

He guessed that this wasn't one of those days then. Until his ears picked up the sounds of your wheels on the road below him. He practically flew closer to the window and called out to you.

"HEY WINDBLUMEE!! YOU GOOD!?!" He gestured wildly as he yelled, smiling as you showed him a thumbs up in return. You pointed towards your bedroom window. A wordless invitation for him to sneak in again tonight and you laughed when he nodded enthusiastically.

Chongyun;

-Chongyun did not understand why you kept going out skating after school, it did take a bit of an explanation but he got it eventually!! You two were in the same class and that's how you met, even before dating he's known of your hobby and he encouraged you despite still being friends at that time.

-He loves you... he really does... but no way is he sitting with you in the sweltering sun all day watching you skate. Sure if it was windy or cold out, sure. He'd stay with you as long as you're out. But he really can't keep up with the heat and just seeing you generally in his close proximity makes him flushed already.

-Somedays he'd relent, you'd drag him over for a bit as he worked on some school works he needed and just stayed until his limit was reaching its peak. And that was fine with you.

-But other days, you would just take off without a word and he'd get worried as well. Unlike Venti, Chongyun would actually annoy Xingqiu about it, much to the other's amusement. Chongyun would come and visit, see you aren't there and just send you a text to see if he should wait for your return or not.

Chongyun knocked at your front door, noting the absence of light in your room. Your family opened the door and told him and as usual, he went and sat in your living room and took his phone out.

"Are you alright? When are you coming back?" A simple message he sent. Quickly clicking the group chat with Xingqiu and Xiangling, he typed as he waited for your response,

In "gay ft. Gordon Ramsey <3"

<- Xingqiu he isn't here. </3 -> Oh fr? MY BAD should've expected it tbf it's exam season and yk how he is when he's stresseddd -> Also, love the heartbroken emo, you're getting better!! <- I'm not emo. -> Mb it's supposed to be a shortened version of emoticon. -> Maybe wait for him in the meantime? <- Yeah, I asked him where he was. <- djdkdkdk wait he's texted me -> OHHH WHAT DID HE SAY? -> WAIT SHSHDF THERE'S A CUSTOMER -> GIVE ME LIKE TEN MINUTES. -> TAKE YOUR TIME XIANGLING ILL CATCH YOU UP LATER

Chongyun had a fond smile on his face as he opened your message. "I'm near actually, are you at mine?" He barely had time to respond when he heard you pull up at the front door. Softly panting and smiling at him. "Come on!! I'm glad I caught you before you left,"

code to chongyun's chat part in the gc; (<-) chongyun, (->) xingqiu. (->) xiangling

#GOD I HATE THIS BUT IT WAS CUTE I GUESS #im a sucker for modern aus #genshin x reader #venti x reader #genshin impact venti #chongyun x y/n #venti x you #genshin modern au #chongyun fluff #xingqiu #xiangling #ugh the liyue trio making a cameo #HOPE YOU ENJOY #i need sleep #chongyun x reader #venti x male reader #genshin x male reader

I… don’t really have to tell you which fic I like lol.

Scaramance = Puppet reader is a passenger and pillow prince/princess. He will drive them where they want when they want, he’ll carry the bags, don’t worry baby, embrace the spoiling.

I don’t really insert myself into the stories! Kinda of weird? But I see the distinction between the reader inserts because each story has different settings/requirements and it’s vague enough to input the other bits if you get what I mean.

It’s… like a diving board? For me at least, since I read the story and I don’t get attacked by thoughts until after I read it all. Then I start doing regular everyday stuff and my mind wanders to it and then the gears start turning. And then I’m trapped in brain rot hell.

A really good thing about your writing is how you set up the story so it provides a rather solid foundation for brain rots, which are like the furniture!

I haven’t read a story from you that I didn’t like. If anything, I just haven’t been brave enough to throw out ideas until Scara.

Scara is the grumpy neighborhood cat you decide to follow one day only to see him jump on a spiked fence to visit his beloved puppet reader and suddenly you’re invested in their fluffy love story. And I did fall in love with their relationship. It’s more than the typical friendship/romance and captures just how complex love can be? It’s… it’s a quiet and not so loud love but you see him and you know that whatever he has with puppet reader, it is where eternity is found. (Hehe, eternity, get it?)

Just as there is love in the way that everyone checks on Collei to make sure she’s okay and the way Cyrus checks up on reader and they actively communicate about their lives. There’s love in how Tighnari lets them and Cyno lay on him and he holds their hands as he listens to their soft whispers and oh, Cyno makes a joke and-. There’s love when they include Karkata and Kevah at dinner, and they share stories and jokes and laugh and laugh into the late hours of the night.

Because love (from where I live) is so, so closely associated with a sexual romance where the guy wins the girl no matter what he does to her and how he’s always stoic and can’t be vulnerable. And the culture I was raised in is one where the men can have affairs and no one bats an eye but that’s a whole another story.

But there’s love in your story even if the focus is romance. In bits and pieces here and there that speaks about their willingness to be open about it and I think we should start remembering love (platonic, romantic, and familial) in all the little places that we end up overlooking because we’re so used to it.

This got long and off topic so I’ll end it here, but I would love the idea of love. Not blindly. But that it exists and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming all the time. The kind of love that you learn to speak and watch as you grow as a person. And!!!! It’s okay if two people grow into people who are no longer compatible because it doesn’t erase the love that was/is there. Because you can end the relationship amicably and fall in love again and be surrounded by love from friends (in real life and online!!!) and family.

Okay, I’m done for real now.

Bloom anon

(survey) Holy crap, this reads like a poem, a masterpiece, bloom anon. It's so beautiful, and the bits of headcanons stuck between is both hilarious and amazing

Also the part with Scaramouche dragging reader around is so in line with his Wanderer occupation for real, I can imagine them in a modern au that's always traveling to the point that their friends only get updated by their socmed photos together in some other country or region. While Scaramouche carries the luggage, Reader always has those neck pillows around their neck and their drinks in hand (they hold the drink up for Scara to drink when his hands are full) (eternity joke so tru tho, that's what I was trying to convey!!)

I am sorry about the death of romance in your area, honestly that's kind of the same here in my country too and I try to not embody that for the next generation. But thank you for the sweetness in noticing the details! I do adore the many ways romance can be shown (Romance is actually not my go to genre in every media I consume haha) and as such, refrain from writing cliches

But I think the biggest factor is that I'm a demiromantic, romance that is cultivated and grown is my specialty, romance that naturally occurs. And perhaps my preference to not overly romanticize things can sometimes make fics look like platonic and familial too, which I don't mind at all

Absolutely beautiful words, bloom anon, thank you. Let love foster here, small or not, and I wish to continue showing everyone the many beautiful forms of love

#exile.goblet #bloom anon #community survey #tooth rotting love right here #Scaramouche #but also modern au kintsugi works so goddamn well I'm also brainrotting hard #about kintsugi #just imagine scaramouche going bye we're going on a roadtrip to the traveler after committing terrorism #and the next time they see him is via a post card with puppet reader in Liyue having the time of their lives #exile.reader
