Genre: Fluff, headcanons

ALBEDO
Your best bet if you want to stay cool
He'll be sure to make some cooling equipment. If you tell him about electrical fans, he would be able to make a pretty good replica using his flowers
Since Klee has a pyro vision, I imagine she gets especially hot during the summer so Albedo would be pretty used to dealing with the heat.
I don't see Albedo himself getting too hot though, so he probably still wears his normal clothing.
Its fine, you and Klee can rock the summer outfits (or you can also stick to your normal outfit)
As Albedo is making the cooling fans, you take it upon yourself to use your anemo powers to cool both you and Klee
It actually turns out pretty fun. She ends up convincing you to blow out air at enough speed to mess up both of your hairs
So as you two are giggling together, Albedo comes in, looks at you two, before sighing and creating combs and brushes
Albedo has glorious hair, he definitely knows what he's doing. He sorts out both of you two's hair as he starts up his little artificial fan
It's his flower that he always creates, being used as an oscillating fan
10/10 amazing fan. Not too loud, adds a small hum to the background that you only really notice if you focus on it. Its also very pretty
As Albedo fixes up your hair (he insisted, as he fixed up Klee's it was only right he did yours) he thanks you for keeping Klee entertained. Else, Mondstat would probably be on fire right now
You teach Klee how to make paper fans, and she designs each one for you three. Hers is of course Dododo based of course. Albedo will be based on being the 'bestest big brother ever' and his creations. Yours will have something to do with your anemo abilities and being the 'best sibling ever' (obviously, we can't top Albedo so we get second place)
They are very colourful, and are pretty good fans. She just wanted to be like her brother, so please thank and praise her
Poor girl tries to go fish blasting because she wants to be in charge of dinner
You have to stop her, you aren't trying to start the Great Fire of Mondstat after all
Go for a swim instead. Albedo has you sorted out for sunscreen too, so enjoy the waters to your heart's content
If it gets way too hot, you go to his campsite in Dragonspine, and he'll make an artificial sort of summer in there for all three of you to enjoy. Fake sand, fake sun etc. It's much cooler, but just as enjoyable
GANYU
Cryo vision is godsent
Cool drinks, ice pack, cool towels: name it and you have it
You have to pull her into the tea pot. Even though she has a day off (Or rather, a few hours. Ningguang knew hardly anyone would be productive during the hottest hours of the day, so she sent most people home), she can't help but worry about the files she has on the tables every time she passes them
But she makes sure not to leave any files in your Serenitea pot so it's a perfect escape for her
As soon as she settles into the 'no work right now' mindset, she's determined to make you cool as possible
She's half human so she can relate to your struggles better than the other immortals
She makes a giant ice flower in the middle of the room, and it doesn't even melt at all
You use your anemo to blow the cold around the room, like an air conditioner
The air is now a crisp kind of icey air. Just too good
Though its a bit of an active process you both need to do continuously
You use the cryo as an opportunity to make ice cream, a fun little bonding activity for you both
She will definitely enjoy the ice cream, and when you return to the kitchen after a nap, you will find an assortment of ice creams
Ganyu was only meant to make a couple, but she ended up making all sort of ice cream
Mint, sweet flower, violet grass - you name it
Pick a favourite, she will make it for you as much as you like
If you ask, she will place her palms on your head. She's naturally cooler, after all so she's better than ice cubes.
Overall, very good time spent with her!
VENTI
Everyone everyone everyone
Now that I have you attention: you know how hot air rises?
And how venti is the anemo archon?
Let's assume he's made out of air
The poor boy just keeps floating up.
Your talking to him one second, look over and he's on the ceiling the next second:
"I really can't help it Traveler!" he whines as he pushes himself off the ceiling. He tries to grab onto the couch and misses, and is forced to grab onto the table. Even that is not enough to keep him on the ground. "None of these things can help hold me down! You have to help me Traveler!"
"How can I help?"
Venti: *cheeky grin*
And that's how you got stuck with venti latching on to you. Whether you let him loop his arm in yours, or you let him hold your hand, he's ecstatic
(This, this I want to extend into a fic on its own if I can)
He doesn't even care if your sweaty, or you smell musty. He just wants to be close to you.
Still, being with the anemo archon during a hot day has its perks
You never have humid air with him. The air is always so perfect and cool. It's brilliant
Your drinks never go warm either.
He uses his anemo powers to blow wind through your clothes just to cool you down entirely because unlike everyone else, he can cool you down pretty passively without lifting a finger
To thank you for holding him down, he takes you to Windrise when the hottest hours have passed.
As you lay back and enjoy the shade, he plays some ballads about summer, games, and all sorts
He does pause in between them, to admire you, before returning to singing his songs
I would recommend him if you don't mind him being clingy
XIAO
He is judging you so hard lmao
"You claim to immortal, yet you crumble from a bit of heat?"
Melt is a better word than crumble, but we digress
He is sweating as well though, don't doubt it.
When his judging eventually becomes pity (which is pretty quick), he takes you to a bit of a hidden gem in Liyue
A little cave behind a waterfall. It's much cooler than the outside, it has the perfect shade, and the water in the cave passes as a pool you absolutely take advantage of
Xiao planned to watch you from afar, but you dived in and nearly splashes him, much to his annoyance.
You then ended up taking his hand and tugging him in the water
Was not happy at first, but he likes how nice the water feels against his skin so he doesn't complain too much
You also seemed to be feeling better, so he thinks it was worth it
The two of you have little water fights in said pool, both of you using your anemo abilities to cheat.
When you tire out, you both just sit by each other in the water
You thank him, for saving you from melting
He tells you you are being dramatic
But he also tells you, should you wish to return here at any time, you simply need to call his name
You should spend a hot day with him, everyone. Less clingy than Venti, though he's a bit slow in helping
ZHONGLI
Knowledgeable, but hasn't actually experienced heat as a mortal until now
As Morax, he would usually just sleep off the heat, so he has never had the need to actively cool off
However, as Zhongli, he is struggling
Instead of him helping you out, you have to help him out first
Zhongli, for the love of mora, take the coat off
(Feels like a fanfic waiting to be written here. I'll try and make it happen)
He doesn't want to initially. For many reasons, one being he is low-key attached to the coat.
Since it's you though, he does take it off.
Following this, Zhongli is cool enough to actually deliver his fine wisdom
He makes sure both of you hydrate regularly. Especially you, even though he knows you can handle himself, he doesn't want the heat getting to you
He also gets the both of you to put ice on pulse points. Your wrist, and the side of your neck. He says that's how people used to cool down when high temperatures like this was much more common.
This also leads to many stories, how during the especially hot days he would seek permission from Barbatos to allow the Adepti to dig up snow from Dragonspine and then distribute the cold among the people
Both of you also have iced tea.
I think he would have hated the idea initially, believing it to be blasphemy to the art of tea.
Tea is to be brewed and served hot. Why on earth would someone willingly make it cold-
However, one sip and he's sold
In summary, once he's cool enough to think, he would be a good person to seek out
YAE MIKO
You are kind of on your own
You know how smaller organisms have a larger surface area to volume ratio? So have a higher rate of heat loss?
(Yes I am bringing Biology into this)
Yeah, Miko goes into fox form and just sleeps on a pillow in the cooler corner of the room to sleep the heat off
And she will not let you go near her
But you know what? Its actually better this way
Human form miko during hot summer days is kind of a pain to deal with
And I don't mean she's just whining and whinging
I mean her electro vision
The heat and humidity is kind of making her overload, your getting electric shocks just being in her presence
She claims it isn't her fault, but you are beginning to suspect she's using her electro to keep you at a 2 meter radius away from her
But she could have just told you straight - its too hot to cuddle anyway. But this is Miko, so it's expected.
When the sun is a bit more bearable, you both spend the evening resting in the shade of the Sakura tree at the shrine.
Pack a picnic while your at it. She'll be content with just tofu. She has told you how to make it before, so get on with it
You bring what you please. If you look away though, you might turn back and notice bits of your meal missing
Turn to glare at Miko, who is obviously chewing your food but insists it is her tofu
Watch the sunset. It will be very pretty: pink filling the skies and as pool of golden light from the sun begins to dip below the horizon. Take pictures with the Kamera - take pictures of her and with her too while you are at it
(another fic????)
10/10 recommend - the view, at least. Everything else though, spend the hot day with someone else
RAIDEN SHOGUN & EI
I'm sorry but they are almost useless
Ei hasn't experienced summer in centuries, and the Shogun probably has an inbuilt cooling system
They don't know what you are feeling, so they can't exactly help much
Ei asks the commission for various things to cool you down: she is presented with cold water, a hand fan, and more summer appropriate clothes
So the pair of you lounge about in the shade of Tenshukaku, in summer clothing
As the Raiden Shogun fans you (she insisted and you really can't fight against her will), you make a throw away comment about wishing it rained or something
Unfortunately for you, both of them caught that comment and took it very seriously
They figured that if you wanted rain, they could make a small thunderstorm. Easy right?
Queue the worst thunders in Inazuma history
You have to explain to them that heat makes thunders way worse.
It was so bad, they struggled to contain the storm.
(Feeling a whole fanfic here)
It did rain though, but the thunderstorm was a bit too wild. Even you didn't want to go out there.
Essentially, so it was a complete fail
Ei is so embarrassed, Raiden apologizes for her miscalculation.
Please forgive them. They were trying their best
She asks how she can make it up to you after the storm passes
Cold Dango milk
Even though it was meant to be yours as an apology, Ei can't help but drink two, five, ten of the 30 she had gotten you
Raiden Shogun switches her out quickly though, and hurries you into finishing it before Ei succumbs to her cravings again
If you spend a hot summer day with them, good luck
TLDR of best to worst: Albedo, Ganyu, Venti, Xiao, Zhongli, Yae, Ei/Raiden Shogun
Have you seen the weather forecast and how hot it's gonna be? I'm actually screwed.
Stay cool and hydrated everyone!
Thanks for reading.
