Hihiii, I have a request! I hope thats alright? I just finish your Zhongli x Adeptus!reader migraine, and I fell inlove with it! its kinda like me in someway, I used to be huge simp for Zhongli, well until the Fotaine update, somehow I didnt simp like I used to for Zhongli, my attention quickly shift to Neuvillette!(I guess I have a thing for dragons-) anyways sorry for rambling!

My request would be like the same idea as the Migraine Zhongli x Adeptus!reader? change childe for Neuvillette, I heard Neuvillette is going to be in the lantern rite! that would a perfect place! sorry sorry if I didnt make sense, english isnt my first language.

you meet him again, the one who had shattered your heart. | zhongli

ANGST, no pronouns used, cocky neuvi, guizhong x morax, ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP

a/n: IDKWHY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG LMAOAXOAO slow writer here!! (bc i want it to b perfect smh..)

not proofread !!

no. really— no.

you didn’t expect he would be here, well, which was pretty stupid. of course he’d be there. he lives in liyue after all. it’s plain common sense.

but it seems as if you were just clinging to lost hope, a hope that says you dont wanna see him there, interact with him, anything else just not him in it.

morax, the god of contract. the god you once loved, but never loved you the same way as you did. it was obvious who he had in his mind and heart, it was guizhong. i mean— who wouldnt, really?

guizhong was pretty, smart, courteous, firm, everything morax wanted in a person. it was hard to hate her, it was more easy liking her.

yet, why was it so hard for you? why was it so hard to like guizhong?

everyone else did, so why didn’t you? is it because of how envious you were of her, is it because you were jealous that she had morax wrapped around her little finger, is it because you wished to be her?

you didn’t know. how would you? when you solely focused on morax. you didn’t have time for yourself. you didn’t realize you were hurting, you were in agony.

no one noticed, not even you, not even morax. why would he notice? when all his attention was all guizhong’s.

maybe that’s why you were a bit overjoyed, when you had heard she had been killed. well, you heard from a rumor.

you had left them, for good. to be put simply, you left morax. you bid your farewells to xiao, as he was the only accomplice you have enjoyed their company with. no one else.

i guess you could say you enjoyed morax’s company, well, not so much. guizhong was always with you both. there was never a chance you two were alone.

it’s rude of you to be happy at the news of her “dead”. it’s offensive and disrespectful to the god of dust. but, you really didn’t care. was it of envy? you don’t know.

it was the first lantern rite you have attended again, after so many years of avoiding liyue and residing in somewhere far away, which was fontaine. it was great, meeting many people and friends that were generous and kind enough to talk to you.

so seeing him again in present time, both your eyes locked with eachother, gazing at one another, it feels as if time had stopped.

you both were together once more, reunited by fate, was it to attempt to reconcile your differences?

it was always him and you. side by side, fighting with other mobs, gods, and other things.

but did he, for once, fight for your heart?

he did. but not for you, for guizhong. he fought alongside her when you weren’t there, were you just a second option? maybe you were. maybe you are.

neuvilette says you aren’t. he, word for word, promised that he wouldn’t be like your first love. so let him be the love that you need, let him be the one that you cherish, and you did.

so going to lantern rite with him, it was his wish when both of you had gotten together. you couldn’t say no to a pretty face.

i guess for neuvilette, meeting another dragon would be unpleasant. yes, it might sound possessive, but if you look on it at the good side (his side), it may not be so wrong.

especially because that dragon was once your first love. your first ever greatest. so he had all the reasons to get jealous!

zhongli looks devastated as he sees/smells another dragon scent on you, your aura illuminating a blue and white one. it wasn’t yellow and orange anymore. was morax replaced?

who is he to ask? someone who had left you, replaced and almost forgotten about you. so why bother asking if you still love him?

neuvilette wraps an arm around your waist from behind, your aura brightens as morax could only narrow his eyes. he wishes he was the cause of your aura changing and glistening. him and neuvilette had maintained eye contact, as if arguing firmly in their minds.

only they could see scents after all.

so, as cocky as neuvilette can be, he kissed you on the cheek as zhongli’s eyes wrinkled in envy.

“let’s go somewhere else.” neuvilette whispered, and you nodded.

and zhongli saw that faint little smirk on neuvilette’s lips when he saw his reaction. it’s making him pissed. why is he acting like this anyway? it’s because he only realized now that he loves you. not guizhong.

zhongli feels this inkling pain deep in his heart, it’s wrong. it hurts him so much, he feels so sorry for treating you the way you don’t deserve to be treated.

but it’s too late.

only in his dreams, you are his. but i guess he just woke up from his everlasting dream.

and he feels as if he won’t be getting that marvelous dream once more.

Love Languages (Xiao, Tartaglia, Kaeya Diluc)

I was reading tie a lasso around the moon by starglittered on ao3 (which is a very, very cute Tartaglia x lumine fic, very much recommend) and this popped into my head and I absolutely had to write this.

CW: fluff, angst in Kaeya and Diluc sections

Xiao x gn!reader, Tartaglia x gn!reader, Kaeya x gn!reader, Diluc x gn!reader

Xiao

I think Xiao's giving love language is likely Acts of Service (there's definitely a difference between his giving and receiving love language)

I mean, one of his big things is if you need him just call his name

Whether it be old gods before Zhongli saved him or Liyue, service is something he's known his whole life. So it's very natural that it translates over to his relationship with you

Whenever he's free, he's helping you with whatever he can. He spent a lot of time learning how to cook because he loves your smile when he makes breakfast for you

His receiving love language is physical contact.

It's odd because while acts of service is so familiar and comfortable, physical contact is something he had to get used to.

He never really thought he'd ever receive something so human, but now that you're here, he's grown to really love it

Xiao has often found that your touch is enough to drive away his demons and settle him, sometimes even allowing to sleep. Once again, a human act he never thought he'd participate in

Tartaglia

Tartaglia's love language is 100% physical touch

He radiates a certain physicality, especially when he fights, and that translates into the rest of his life

He loves having an arm around your shoulder or waist and his always peppering you with soft kisses just because he feels like it. And I really wouldn't put it past that little shit to keep trying to cop a feel.

He loves it just as much when you reach out for him. When you're cuddling on the couch and sit on his lap or when he's cooking (I feel like he's a really good cook) and you give him hugs from the back

After a long absence it gets even worse. It's hard to get him to let go, because he missed you so much. He gets touch starved during those absences because it's not like he's going to cuddle with anyone but you. He's 100% yours, but it means he suffers when he's away for so long

Kaeya

Kaeya has a couple love languages, I think. A mix of quality time, physical touch and words of affirmation

Starting with the first, he just seems like a touchy person who loves to spend time with you

If you're there he's happy and while you spend time together, he has a tendency to give brief touches. Stuff like a hand on the shoulder, a kiss to the forehead, quick touches before moving to the next task. I dunno why, but Kaeya gives me very restless vibes so they aren't long, but they're definitely there.

Aside from physical touch and quality time, words of affirmation are a thing. Surprisingly, it's not his primary giving love language. He's usually a little more genuine with you, not finding it necessary to sweet talk you, though it definitely happens.

Words of affirmation is his receiving love language. As strong as he can be and cold as he can be, he feels a great deal of conflict and guilt. he doesn't get to forget about his divided loyalties or the pain of the past, so when you're with him, hugging him, telling him that you're there and not going to leave him, that you love him--honestly, sometimes he finds it overwhelming, but the combination is something he finds he needs.

To hear that someone loves him for him, makes him soft and very, very happy.

Diluc

Diluc is a quality time person, though he really likes physical touch

He's so very busy, with his business and his dark knight hero gig, so he treasures time with you even more

Even if it's just you hanging out in his office reading while he does paper work or helping babysit the drunks while he's working as a bartender, he'll take what he can get

His receiving love language is physical contact

By the time your relationship is truly settled, it's just habit for him to get home and seek a hug. He buries his face in your neck or hair and relaxes

There are a lot of times, especially after his patrols as the dark knight hero where it's the only thing that can ground himself.

After a bad day, it reminds him that you're there and that he's not alone.

I mean, he's lost so many people. His father, Kaeya, and he lost the brotherhood of the knights when they did Crepus dirty. There are times when he's terrified that he's going to lose you too.

Your touch grounds him and gives him a feeling of safety and security that he hasn't had in years. Sometimes it drives away his demons, while other times it allows him to feel comfortable expressing it.

You've seen more of Diluc Ragnvindr in those cuddle sessions that anyone else has.

◇ characters ◇ husband!zhongli, baby!xiao

◇ tags ◇ afab!reader, fem!pronouns, mention & implication of pregnancy (reader), children, xiao (tries) to call you “mama”, angst to fluff, heartwarming domestic fluff

◇ a/n ◇ last submission for my ᴇʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟ ϟᴜᴘᴇʀᴄʜᴀʀɢᴇ collab

disclaimer: i don’t have a child, and i won't pretend i know how it feels to have one. this won’t be 100% accurate. however - i have first-hand lived with one and witnessed the calmest person on earth snap from all the stress that is caused by child-rearing, so…

𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑏 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 ⬙ 𝑚𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 ⬙ 𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡

[ 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 ]

you think you and zhongli make for a harmonious couple.

if you were asked to describe your relationship in a word, you would choose ‘steady’. it has always felt as such ever since you were friends, stayed as it is when you started courting each other, throughout your stage of falling in love with each other’s flaws and strengths, and persisted through your engagement and your newlywed stage.

of course, you’ve had fights - from petty ones that make you roll your eyes in exasperation, to bigger ones that made you temporarily move out to your friend’s house for several days to reevaluate your relationship, you had them all. they all ended in the same way, every single time: reconciliation, deep conversations, promises to do better, and tons of affection to make up for the lost time. your relationship is most definitely not perfect, but you’d like to think that it’s healthy and open and, as quoted by your friends, “couple goals”.

but nothing that you’ve experienced so far prepared you for the hectic, sleepless, and insanely stressful life that is being a parent.

and to think you thought pregnancy was the worst. ha ha.

“- he doesn't want to eat, he doesn’t want to see me, he doesn’t want to see you, he doesn’t want his stories, his diaper is clean - i just - i don’t know what to do!”

you had to shout into the phone, seeing as your baby is quite literally screeching his head off in the background, the shrill sound further amplifying your stress headache and breaking your tired heart.

your husband hums in affirmation over the phone, and the background sound of people talking from his side suddenly disappeared. normally, you would have felt bad at interrupting his meetings, especially since you know it’s vital for him to be there, but you’re too far gone at this point - your patience has its limit and it seems like you’ve reached the bottom of the bar.

“calm down, dear.”

“how am i supposed to calm down?! i’ve never seen him throwing this kind of tantrum!! what if - what if something’s wrong - should i go to the doctor? i can’t tell if he has a fever, his whole face is so red and i can’t even touch him because the last time i tried he screamed harder and choked and i was so scared i-”

“[name].”

“i don’t know what to do,” you sob, tears falling down your cheeks, “i can’t do this anymore…”

“of course you can. listen to me, love. everything is going to be okay.”

“will it though?”

“of course. i’m here too. let us tackle this problem together, just like how we always do.”

“….. okay…”

“thank you, dearest. did you try giving him his dragon plushie?”

“he threw it across the living room.”

“hm. strong arms, like his father.”

you sniffle and laugh weakly at his words.

“maybe he missed menogias?”

“their family is on vacation right now,” you wince when xiao throws another one of his soft toys - a limited edition spear gifted by your husband’s friend who runs the biggest toy factory in the whole country - successfully knocking over the untouched bowl of food you made for him before.

another thing to put in the washer, another ruined food, another thing to clean up. wonderful.

“ah, i remember. australia, i believe. i heard it’s magpies season. hopefully they’re staying safe from the birds.”

“who cares about that right no-” you pause.

“….. dear? what’s wrong?” zhongli’s concerned voice snaps your attention back to the phone momentarily.

still keeping your gaze on your son, whose wide golden eyes are also looking straight at you, you whisper into the gadget, as if you’re afraid he’d go back to crying the moment you said something, “he stopped crying.”

“…… xiao?”

the boy blinks and switches his stare at your phone silently, where the voice of his father is addressing him from.

“do you want to talk with daddy?”

his nose scrunches and despite knowing it’s not zhongli’s fault, you snapped at your husband, “no! no he doesn't!!!”

“ah,” another hum, “then, perhaps a keyword… australia? magpie? safe?”

xiao's golden eyes narrow. you whisper a soft ‘no’.

“birds?”

like magic, your son’s expression lights up like a christmas tree. within seconds, he’s waddling towards you, latching onto your leg, teary eyes staring up at you in expectation. you’re sitting still on the dining chair in shock. literally minutes ago he did not want you to touch him at all.

“is that not it?”

“i…. no, i think….,” you hurriedly wiped your tears away and abandoned the phone on the table in favor of hoisting the toddler up to your lap, “birds? you…. you want to see the birds?”

xiao blinks one, twice, and then nods.

you sigh in relief as you wiped the tear tracks on his chubby cheeks. zhongli chuckles.

“will you be alright now, my dear?”

“ah…. yes. i think so.”

“alright. skip the cooking for us tonight, i’ll come back early with your favorites. i love y-”

a small sweaty palm punches your phone’s screen, effectively disconnecting the call. you give the young boy an unimpressed look. he looks back at you innocently before starting to suck on his thumb.

your house resides on one of the higher terrains, along with a great view of the lakes and forests in the distance. this, fortunately, means that you have a lot of trees and birds for your little one’s viewing pleasure. the moment you step out onto the balcony of your second story’s bedroom, xiao starts to bounce excitedly within your arms before settling down, eyes transfixed on the group of avians perched by the nearby trees.

“bub?”

“……,” you exhale shakily, chants the name of the deities above inside your head, and gives him a shaky, weak smile, “yes, love. those are birds.”

[ 𝑔𝑒𝑜 ]

your doorbell chimes right as xiao accepted the first mouthful of his dinner. the toddler glares towards the direction of the front door, as if silently saying ‘who dares to disturb my meal’, and you chortle in amusement.

“coming!”

after giving a few pats on top of his dark-colored hair, you’re immediately running towards the front door in record speed, intent to turn away whatever salesman you have on the front steps by slamming the door on their face if you have to, because your baby needs his food, darn it.

cautiously, you squint through the peephole.

the sight makes you frown in bewilderment.

instead of some slimy-looking salesman, outside stood your husband in his immaculate work clothes, waiting to be let in like some kind of a lost puppy.

did he forget his key, perhaps? you chuckle in amusement. knowing how often he forgets his wallet, it’s only a matter of time until he forgets his keys, you suppose. with that in mind, you unlock the latches and open the door, a greeting at the tip of your tongue-

the sweet scent of flowers envelops your scent and the entirety of your sight, and you find yourself staring down at a massive bouquet of flowers, tastefully arranged, all freshly bloomed with no single imperfection on their colorful petals and trimmed stems.

“…… huh?”

zhongli chuckles, finding the lost expression on your face endearing. your hands might have instinctively accepted the gift, but it appears your brain has yet to catch up with your body.

“i’m home, dear.”

“w-welcome home? but what-”

“can’t a husband spoil his wife without any reason every now and then?”

“yes? no? i mean-” you want to hit yourself for stumbling and bumbling around like some kind of a high schooler in love, and the entertained laugh from your husband makes you smile in both embarrassment and the sudden happiness that enveloped your whole being. despite already being married, the follow-up kiss to your cheek makes your heart jump and your grin widen.

“may i come in now, dearest?”

you eye your husband with a huff and arch your eyebrows coyly, “hmm. persuade me.”

zhongli doesn’t even hesitate or look surprised at your antics, merely sporting the same gentle smile as he places a proper kiss on your lips this time. now you’re actually giggling like a high school girl, and yet your partner isn’t even fazed, soft lips tracing your jawline, fingers brushing back your hair-

a loud clatter makes the both of you jump, and you would have been touched by the instinctive hold zhongli immediately has on your arm, if not for the sight of disaster in your peripherals.

xiao has, somehow, reached onto the plate of food you set aside for him, and while you were both reliving your honeymoon dating phase (not that you've ever grown completely out of it, according to your friends), had taken the liberty to try and shove the food onto his mouth with his own hands…. keyword here being ‘try’.

the bowl of food lays sadly on the floor, its content spilled against the white tiles.

within seconds, your son starts crying, and the two of you scramble to tag team the situation; with you tending to xiao and zhongli tending to the flowers and locking up the door.

right. gone were the long relaxing beach walks and uninterrupted sweet moments.

….. and yet, as you’re cleaning up the food spills around the baby chair and catch the sight of your now-husband silently patting a sleepy little boy whose belly is now full of food, you think that this kind of life too, has its own unique moments of happiness.

[ 𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑚𝑜 ]

“maa…”

you feel a tug on your hair and groan.

“mah….?”

your eyes squint, heavy eyelids struggling to open, something within you forces you to push through it. wake up, your instinct says. your brain lags, and it’s so easy to just fall back asleep, but-

“maaaaaa!!!”

you sit up at record speed, vision bleary yet immediately alerted at the piercingly loud noise and familiar voice of your baby. instinctively, your arms gather the smaller body of the toddler despite the exhaustion weighing your whole being.

“mmah.”

“yes, baby. mama’s he-” tiny hands push your cheek away and you frown, feeling a little hurt by the rejection, “okay, okay… what is it, xiao?”

he wrestles away from your hug and points at the vase of flowers sitting on the dining table. though the blooms aren't as fresh as the first day you got them from your beloved, they’re still a magnificent sight. not to mention that the size of the bouquet made you separate the flowers into three big vases, and this was just one of them. you understand that your child might be fascinated with the new additional decor to the house, but you really doubt he could carry the whole thing by himself… plus, that sounds very dangerous.

“no no. let’s find another thing to play with, okay, dear?”

xiao gives you a look and stubbornly points towards the flowers again, now slightly frowning.

“no.”

“mahm!”

you sigh, rubbing your temples in exasperation before standing up to approach the table. your little boy follows right behind you, all the while observing your movements, waiting for you to fetch what he wants.

hesitantly, you hold onto the vase in your arms. they’re big. heavy. made of glass. what if it shatters? what if he grabs one of the flowers and they weren’t pruned properly? what if he accidentally stabs himself in the eye with one of the stems??

you really shouldn’t….

xiao latches insistently on your leg, doe eyes looking up at you in excitement.

“gihb!”

with a defeated sigh, you place back the vase onto the table, take one small flower, and give it to your child. he whines and points back to the arrangement on the table. you reluctantly give him two more flowers, slightly bigger than the previous one.

“no more.”

he holds them in his hands and stares at them for a while.

you think he’s going to ask for more, so you opt to sit down on the floor, grabbing the nearest storybook and patting your lap in an invitation, “now that you have the flowers, why don’t you hold them while mama reads you your book, hmm?”

to your utmost befuddlement, instead of obeying, your son looks up at you and lifts the flowers up, before staring at you expectantly.

you smile through the confusion and accept his offering anyway, and you were about to thank him when he determinedly kicks the book away and climbs onto your lap-

-to place a kiss onto your cheek.

....

........

oh.

“are you-” you choke on your words, already feeling tears gathering in your eyes, “-sweetheart, were you trying to copy your father…?”

xiao frowns, seemingly unable to comprehend why you’re not reacting as he expected…. and decides to kiss your other cheek. only, this makes you tear up even more. and he does not like that.

“maamh….”

“oh no no nono darling i’m sorry, mommy’s not sad, not at all!”

you carelessly wipe your tears away when xiao’s nose scrunches, the first sign of tears already showing in his bright-colored eyes. gently, you pull him into a hug and squish his chubby cheeks, peppering loving kisses all over his face with a chest full of warmth and unimaginable joy. the toddler squeaks and squirms on your hold, but you continue to coddle him with affection, for the happy giggles bubbling from his throat clearly reflect his true feelings.

later that night, you tell your husband about the endearing moment, and he laughs in amusement before asking the boy if he could get a flower too.

he gets a freshly laundered spear toy thrown at his knees.

you’ve never felt so smug in your life.

Hi can I get Genshin men as +1 to worker (*cough*) company party as they aren’t dating or just starting to date s/o? HCs like to be wedding date ones?

genshin men at a work party

Featuring— Diluc, Childe, Zhongli, Kazuha, Kaeya

⤀ established relationships, friends to lovers, pining, enemies to lovers ⤀ gn! reader, modern au, mentions of alcohol use, slight angst in zhongli's, suggestive but still sfw

a/n— this was fun to write lol also i’m gonna be limiting future requests to max 5 characters 🙇🏻‍♀️

DILUC

there is no way in hell you’re telling your coworkers that you’re dating the ceo of your company

that’s basically asking to be the most hated person in the office; you’ve worked way too hard for anyone to accredit your achievements as just sleeping with your boss

besides, you two have only just made it official. it's still way too soon to make your relationship public, especially with such a high profile figure

diluc is ceo of avoiding parties so everyone is surprised when it’s announced that the big launch event is going to be held at the ragnvindr estate

oh how he hates parties; you convinced him it’d be fun plus, it’s normal for a boss to be chatting with an employee at a social event right? it could give you guys a chance to soft soft launch your relationship. instead, he’s being pulled into every conversation, mingling with everyone except you

ah but how could you forget that everyone would want to jump at the chance to introduce themselves to the big boss himself

the night is filled with quick, stolen glances and it really doesn’t help that the longest he’s held your hand was the few seconds where you both reached for the bowl of grape juice

he quietly slips away and shoots you text

“ haven’t seen you all night, i’m in my study if you’d like to join me? : ) ”

of course you go. it’s a big party...you’d hardly be missed

as soon as you’re close enough, diluc pulls you into his lap and rests his head in the crook of your neck. please pepper him with kisses and play with his hair— his social battery is drained

you’re interrupted by a bang, followed by an aggressive twist on the knob before finally hearing someone hurl outside the study. it’s a good thing you locked the door

CHILDE

the firm you work at is throwing its annual holiday party and who better to bring as your fake date

great arm candy and he’s confident enough for the theatrics required to get your annoying coworker off your back

seriously your coworker isn’t taking any hints and they definitely don’t believe you when you say you have a boyfriend (which to be fair was a lie so…)

childe doesn’t do anything half-assed so he’s going full out as your ‘boyfriend.’ go big or go home!!

you arrive together, with his arm is around your waist. your coworker comes up to talk to you and he’s like

“who’s this babe?” with the most passive aggressive smile because he knows full well who that is. he pulls you closer; you feel his grip on your waist tighten

his hand is on your thigh every time you two sit down and he does this while making direct eye contact with your coworker

dangles a mistletoe above the two of you to steal a kiss. it’s not just a show anymore, it’s a whole production. his excuse? you want it to be believable right?

he’s pretty well liked among the rest of your coworkers; very amiable guy. completely ignores the fake backstory you guys prepped though and is spinning his own tale of how you two met (he definitely went the meet cute route)

which leaves everyone confused because you’ve been telling them something entirely different the few weeks prior

you drag him into the break room ready to scold him for going off script but your annoying coworker beats you to it and calls bullshit on your relationship. no matter how much he wants to, childe’s not going to physically fight him because the last thing he’d want to do is get you in trouble at your job

“oh yeah? would a fake boyfriend do this?” and now he’s full on making out with you in your office’s break room, which has floor-length glass windows btw

i mean yes childe’s your friend, but you also have an ongoing flirtation, but it also never leads anywhere? you two have a long talk that night

come monday morning you actually have a real boyfriend now but you also get a warning from HR. you win some, you lose some

ZHONGLI

zhongli’s your average salaryman with above average looks and an above average skillset so needless to say, he’s pretty popular in the office, especially with his single coworkers

the only thing is, he’s so painfully unaware of their flirtations and advances that they’re beginning to think he’s doing it on purpose (he is). nevertheless, they persist

which is how you end up going to his office party as his plus one and… who the hell is this bitch pulling you aside and introducing herself as his ‘work wife’

she says she wasn’t aware zhongli had an s/o; granted, your relationship was pretty new and zhongli is private in regards to his personal life so, fine, you’ll let it slide. but then she has the audacity to say you can feel free to ask her if you need any advice in regards to your own boyfriend because

“hehe i’m his work wife after all, not work girlfriend”

zhongli comes back from the bathroom and oh my god he can feel the animosity from across the room. he leads you away to somewhere private the two of you can talk

honestly you’re not sure how to feel. angry, yes. upset, definitely. because if she can be so bold as to say these things to your face, what is she doing everyday in the office when you aren’t there

he pulls you into a tight hug before your thoughts can get any more intrusive

“darling i’m so sorry for whatever she said. i’ve warned her of her behavior before but it seems i’ll have to visit HR again”

he doesn't leave your side for the rest of the night

KAZUHA

the interns; you’re both out of college hoping to land a permanent position in this company

of course you aren't the only two interns in the office but you are the duo ™. whether it's the way you cover each other’s work so well, or the way you throw paper balls at each other on slow days— you just fall so naturally in sync

the whole office ships you two

the company’s celebrating a huge merger so they’re throwing a party and since you’re both single…you guys decide to go together (his idea, he insisted!)

wow this apple cider is so good. oops it seems both of you missed the memo that it’s hard apple cider, and when you realize…well, you’re already buzzed

he’s not drunk, but kazuha is a lot more loose-lipped when under the influence of alcohol; he’s entertaining the other interns and you drag him away before he says something embarrassing about either of you (because god, he knows and remembers everything about you)

you take him up to the roof of your office building; the cool night air feels good against the heat of your skin. you’re leaning over the ledge watching the city lights but you feel his gaze on you

“you’re really pretty tonight, y/n. well you always are but tonight….”

you’ve never been in such an intimate setting together before and something about tonight makes him want to abandon his 14-step plan to win your heart

you guys leave the party early and the intern gc is blowing up because someone spotted you two getting in the same cab

KAEYA

okay so what if you’re the only one in your branch who showed up to the company party without a plus one

well there’s kaeya too but he’s annoying so you don’t count him. to further prove your point, he doesn’t really care anyway; loves the bachelor life he says

so why is he, your work rival, standing in front of you right now, offering to be your date for the night? is he making fun if you? if this is his idea of a joke it’s not funny! admittedly some of his jokes are, but you’d never tell him that

“I don’t know y/n, maybe because I actually like you?” there’s more truth to his words than you realize

for the sake of your single person’s ego, you accept his proposal…but you warn him that it doesn’t change anything about your current relationship

“You realize our little rivalry is completely one-sided?” he says as he hands you a flute of champagne

…..

“because there really isn’t any competition on my end”

omg you want to strangle him. he laughs at the way your eye twitches and you down the entirety of your champagne. it’s too late to back out now; maybe if you’re drunk enough you can get through the night

he matches you drink for drink and at the height of the party, you forget that you hate him because he’s..actually kind of cool and fun?

the way he beats your quarterly sales by just a little, scores just a little higher on performance reviews, receives a promotion just a few months before you…all out the window

you guys are making fun of your boss and gossiping about coworkers and giggling together?? who are you two and what have you done to kaeya and y/n

monday morning back at the office and everyone knows you and kaeya drunkenly hooked up because the sexual tension is gone but you also find out there’s been an office betting pool??

Omg official first request I've made ever?

Okay so hear me out, Dragonkin Reader, Dragon of war at a point of time in the past who was best friends with Morax in ye olden days. Reader who use to drink Osmanthus wine with everyone and such, ended up in a marriage with the great Morax and over time things got shaky, when he faked his death and took the name Zhongli and decided that having a dragon partner with obvious features of Dragonkin isn't great for his whole Human(tm) brand he has going on so he just neglects the reader except for during meetings with Childe on occasion, and reader just so happens to befriend Childe who definitely has his eyes for the stunning dragonkin...and perhaps even challenges them to a spar in which Reader wins and he just falls over head in heels with them..and perhaps reader shows up soggy in the rain at the inn room he's in when Zhongli presented Divorce papers and essentially kicked them out 👀 or something of the sort. Extra angst extra forbidden(ish) romance 👀👀👀

-----

A/N: Why hello there! I am honoured to be the recepient of your request, dear definitely-a-stranger of mine! I love the idea, but have changed it maybe a little bit too much on accident, so I hope that you'll like it anyways!<33 Content: Mention of non-sexual nudity!!!, some light flirting, neglect, Zhongli being a bad husband (like in most of my writing for him-), some angst, emotional adultery???, hurt/kind of comfort, talks of divorce, Childe being a sly homewrecker, somewhat forbidden romance, romantic tension, characters might be ooc?? idk- Female reader, who has some dragon-like features! Word count: 2.2k ((Not proofread at all!!!))

"Take a leap into the waters below with me, won't you?"

It was a cold and misty morning, when Ajax decided to take a nice swim in an uncharted lake he had found during his travels. It was close to the borders of Liyue city, hidden in a lush field of tall grass, and yet no map seemed to acknowledge it's existence. This intriuged him greatly, as not even locals seemed to be aware of it. And so, whenever the tempratures dropped, he ventured out for a quick dip in the cold water, a familiar tradition from back home. He trudged through the thick grass, his eyes narrowing against the mist. It was easy to miss the lake and so he was always very careful in looking for it, having even gone as far making a small pathway for himself.

A content smile pulled at his lips, when he finally saw the still surface of it in the distance, his steps speeding up, until he stood at the small part of the shoreline that wasn't covered in rocks. His boots came off first, then his shirt and jacket, then his pants. All unceremoniously thrown onto a nearby rock, right next to the foreign silken robes he hadn't seen in his eagerness to get in. Ignorant to what may linger below, he was quick to lower himself into the water, letting out a soft hiss at how cold it was.

Just like how it was back home.

He closed his eyes, muscles tensing and flexing, before they relaxed and his mind drifted into thoughtless dreams of work and his family. It was quiet and peaceful here... perhaps a little too unnaturally quiet. But his apparent fearlessness didn't allow him any doubt or worry. Every now and then, he'd hear the soft movement of the water in the subconsciousness of his mind, until it became a little too often and began near approaching him. He cracked a tired eye open, his arms crossed over his broad chest, as he tried seeing what the source of the sound was. was it a fish? Frog? ... A woman?

The young man gasped softly, his body straightening up in surprise, when he saw her carelessly step out of the water, goosebumps spreading across her body when the cold breeze hit her skin. He opened his mouth to perhaps apologise or question her... yet not a word was able to escape his lips. And she didn't seem to particularly acknowledge him either. Instead, she just now stood next to him, calmly looking off into the distance, before her head slowly turned to look down at him.

The silence was suffocating, but Ajax's mind was racing with millions of thoughts at once. He should be looking away from her nude form. He should get up and... No, he can't do that either, as he was in a similar state. Yet he seemed to have more shame than her. So instead, he could only blink in surprise, when he noticed the scales, horns and cat-like slitted, intense eyes. She was no human, he then determined. A siren maybe? Was she going to rip him apart with the sharp teeth he spied under her lips? Was she going to dig her sharp nails into his heart and take it for herself? Was she going to seduce him and drag him into the depths of the lake as punishment for being so careless? Ajax fidgeted nervously. At least she was beautiful, he supposed. Breathtaking, in a literal sense, if you will.

And yet, his creative imagination came to an end, when the woman finally spoke up, still so unbothered by it all. "It's been a while, since a human decided to lose it's way into my territory..." She hummed, before just stepping out of the water and collecting the robes the harbinger had ignored. "... Have any of them survived to tell the tale?" He asked, trying to retain some semblance of his composure, which seemed impossible in her presence. He heard a small huff, perhaps a chuckle. "Some, yes." She mused, but her voice was oddly devoid of any emotions. Or perhaps, human emotions.

Childe dared to look behind him then, his eyes catching as her bare shoulder disappeared under the silk. "I won't go down so easily, if you happen to be in a bad mood today then." The man near challenged, but he was only met with a slight turn of her head in his directon, as she halted her movements. "I doubt, that you'll ever be a match forme, even in a good mood." She replied, before slowly walking away, her hands gently brushing against the tall grass. But her words only ticked off Ajax's challenging nature, which made him swiftly stand and give her a slight grin. "Then fight me. I assume you are an ancient creature, one with great power. I'd appreciate the challenge-" "-Maybe next time." Was all she said, as her form merged with the mist and disappeared soundlessly. Childe stood in the still water for a while after, his breathing a little laboured from the excitement that had filled him from her words alone.

So much for relaxation...

He visited the lake often afterwards, in hopes of seeing the woman again. And every now and then, he'd be lucky enough to do so, even if she never agreed to a fight. Instead, he'd spend his time speaking to her, although that was a little difficult at first due to her reserved nature. Something that Ajax was eventually able to break through as well. He learned three things about her over the few weeks he had spent here. Her name was (Y/N), she was once an ancient, powerful dragon... and she is married, unfortunately. To who exactly however, she refused to say. Not that it mattered anyways, since childe's brewing, selfish jealousy only saw it as a challenge too, if anything. Especially when he learned that your dear husband wasn't very attentive to you in the first place.

"Say, wouldn't your husband get quite angry, if he saw his wife and a foreign man sitting in a lake together... naked?" He one day asked, loosely gesturing between the two of them lazily to empathise his point. But he had learned over time, that dragons didn't care about nudity all that much. They techincally usually didn't wear clothes anyways, right? (Y/N) seemed to have learned some human customs at least regarding that, but her lake, her rules, he supposed. "He forgets I'm there most of the time. I doubt he'll care now." She hummed, her body laying across the warm sand. It was a hot day, the sun shining down and reflecting against the lakes still surface. Ajax kept his eyes away from her, mainly out of odd embarrassment, that he usually couldn't care to feel. But she made him feel alot of similar emotions against his will anyways.

"How can he forget you? I certainly think about you all the time." "About me? Or the duel you are itching to have?" He simply grinned knowingly in response. It was both, ofcourse. "I guessed so... but I'll have to disappoint you once again, I'm afraid. There is a meeting I have to attend with my husband." She muttered, sighing as she sat up with a slight frown. Ajax raised a brow, a silent question she understood. "Appearances are important to him." "I see... but what about your...?" He trailed off, eyes daring steal a glance at her horns, that made her nod. "Yes, I hide them around him... or other people for that matter." "Ah, so, I'm special then?" He teased, making her huff and pull on her thin robe. "Perhaps in a way, you are... but then again, you are in my domain." She said, which made the man smirk a little. He'll take that for now.

She took her leave then, a small wave and bow of her head, before she disappeared in the tall grass. Ajax sighed to himself and sunk deeper into the water. He also had a meeting to get to... but for now, he'll stay in your domain to relax in your comfort, that even lingered in your absence.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have done that..." He cursed, when he was running late from falling asleep in the lake. He didn't know how it happened and was quite irritated at himself. This was a mess, but knowing him, he'd always find a way out of everything. So when he arrived at the restaurant, he put on his best, apologetic smile, as he went to greet the man. "Ahaha.... my apologies, Mr. Zhongli! Last minute work came up, that I had to take care of and..." His words trailed off, when his eyes found the familiar gaze of the dragonic woman. He gulped, when it all dawned on him... but then the confusion settled in. Why would such a powerful, ancient dragon be with a funeral consultant? Unless... he didn't know? Yes, that made alot of sense, especially when she looked so human-like now. Somehting that irked Ajax deep down, for some reason.

"That's alright, things happen." Zhongli hummed, ushering the man to take a seat, when he absently waved a hand into the direction of his near stoic wife. "I hope you don't mind my wife joining us for the evening?" He asked, making the harbinger clear his throat. "No, ofcourse not... it's an honour.." (Y/N) seemed less affected by the whole ordeal and so he decided to reel himself in as well and go ahead with the meeting. Every now and then, his eyes would find her calm form picking at her food or idly looking off at a nearby wall. He also quickly noticed how... indifferent Zhongli was to her.

His eyes never trailed to her breathtaking form in her fancy, silken robes. He never spoke a word to her, never asked for her opinion. It irritated Ajax. If she was his, he'd show her off, boast bout the strong, powerful wife he had at his side. He'd never allow her to hide her dragonic features either. She was to be worshipped, just like she told him she once was... but then again, Childe was selfish. He'd rather just worship her all on his own.

And by the end of the evening, it took all his strength to not rip her away from the other man's unworthy grasp. What did he have, that Ajax didn't? But all he could really do, was watch the two walk away, her eyes meeting his briefly, before she disappeared after her husband in the dense crowd.

"Even after a nice evening, you can't seem to acknowledge me, Morax." (Y/N) said, although she knew her word would just fall on deaf ears. Especially when she used his old name, actual name. "I don't expect much else from you however.... Would you like it, if I simply disappeared into the depths of my lake forever? Far away from any civilisation, forever alone?" More silence, as the man simply took off his coat and shoes. He only responded when she used that pathetic human name of his. But she'd be damned, before she allowed herself to sink that low. "I will warn you, that I will not be alone however. I have perhaps found someoneelse. Someone who appreciates the war and carnage of love much more than you ever could have."

Zhongli stopped in his tracks, his head tilting ever so slightly in her direction. He wouldn't even spare her a last glance it seemed. He had fully given up on his past and his wife of eons with it. "Then leave." "Very well, Morax." She saw his jaw clench, a last dig at revenge, the sound of a ring hitting the marble floor blending in with the door falling shut.

The moon was high up in the sky, by the time (Y/N) arrived at her lake. As expected, Ajax was already resting in it and for a while it seemed. "It's a little late for a swim, don't you think?" He asked, making the woman hum in response, as she shrugged her clothes off and walked past him into the lake, until it reached her hips. "Says who? I make the rules here." The man sat up, his head tilted back a little to laugh softly. "My, when did you get so sassy? Seems like I'm rubbing off on you." "Perhaps so... why are you here?" She finally asked the obvious question, that earned her a smirk. But it was a dangerous one. "It's not for a duel, for once." He mused, the message clear.

This type of burning love he felt was forbidden and perhaps for a good reason. A dragon and a human couldn't possibly be together, and then there was Zhongli, who he still assumed was just a mere human. People would call him a homewrecker, or maybe they'd dare to blame you. But alas... when was Childe ever the one to back down from anything? Especially when he wanted something? It was a risky, uncharted part of life for him... yet that alone seemed to have worked out for him before with this lake, right? "I see... then what is it?" She asked carefully, eyes narrowing a little, when he chuckled.

"I'd like to take a leap of faith." "A leap of faith?" "Yes." His answers were clear and confident, filled with an arrogance only he perhaps could have. But that intriuged the woman, who hummed and reluctantly held her hand out to him then; A final test.

"Then come... Take a leap into the waters below with me, won't you?"

"Challenge accepted."

-----

A/N: Alrighttt, my back hurts! And this took me about 3 hours to write... and I maybe went off the idea alot... BUT I know you'll appreciate it anyways. I hope everyone else enjoyed this too and thank you again for the request, dear!<33

First, I luv ur works. Really. Bring me many emotions. Second, may i request oneshot of Zhongli with destruction deity reader? She's considered as a threat to whole Teyvat, yet she wandered freely, no bad intentions. I thought 'bout who can simply disintegrate anything in material world into ashes by her touch. Angst, hurt-comfort, fluff... it's up to u. Have a good day!

Fault Lines (Zhongli x Reader)

𝗔/𝗡: 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 !!!

𝙒𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚? ⇒ 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩

𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙧?

You don’t fault others for being scared of you.

You don’t fault them for wanting to look away. For wanting to run away. For never wanting to speak. For never wanting to get close. You don’t fault anyone for any of it. The good, the bad. The heavenly, the hellish. And all those who fall in between. You just can’t fault them.

But it doesn’t change the fact that you’re filled to a brim with the feeling of pain every time it happens. Every single time. And still, you cannot fault them. Not the headstrong humans. Not the curious critters. The rowdy monsters. The uncertain unknowns. None of them.

Because If you’re not careful, patches and patches of grass could die before you even set your foot down. If you’re not cautious, your very gaze could age any plant or bush or tree within your immediate eyesight. And if you’re not conscientious, a brush of a fingertip could destroy and turn even the strongest of metals and man into nothing but a pile of ashes.

So you can’t blame all those who fear you. You know their fate would be as definite as death if they were to wander too far into your land where you roam. You know that because it’s what happened before. To all those who you tried to love. To all those who tried to love you. Years and years of the same thing happening has made you hate your powers for all that can and will do. Lost follower, hoping to worship you. Lost travelers, looking for directions home. Lost souls, thinking that they could become something more if they best you.

It was all the same. The beginning may be different, but it all ends the same. You lose everyone- every single one- the absolute same. Because of your powers. Because of your strength. Because they find a weakness and exploit it. Because they are your weakness. The story beats never mattered. The middle never mattered. The climax never mattered. Because you could predict the ending for everyone who got too close to you. You could predict the ending for every single one, every single time-

“Your hands, my dear. Let me see them.”

Everyone, but him.

There’s a gleam in his eyes as Zhongli looks down at you. It’s hard to see as you choose to advert your own eyes, but you know it’s there. You’ve been in this situation far too many times for the look on his face to be surprised. You know for a fact that once you look up, you’ll be met with sympathetic browns and warm amber, and caring gold. You know you’ll have a soft, uncharacteristic smile of such a mighty and powerful man. You know already that it’s a smile he has reserved for you in moments like these.

And that doesn’t make things easier. Knowing never made things easier. Because with all the time to plan and to think and to ponder and to wonder in the world- you can never come up with an answer. A feeling. A way for things to no longer hurt. A way for things to no longer feel too good.

And you hate it.

But surprised or not, you find yourself shifting on the large stone he has you seated on before reluctantly holding out your hands. Your arms move slowly in front of you as you make careful movements to twist your wrists and face your palms up to the sky. In moments like these, you’re vulnerable. You’re no longer the most powerful person for miles when Zhongli comes to see you. You’re no longer the most untouchable person in this part of the world when Zhongli visits you. In moments like these, you are not a deity made and bred for nothing but pure, unadulterated destruction.

In moments like these, you are a woman. Plain and simple.

A woman being cared for by one who still inspires butterflies in her stomach.

You don’t fault others for being scared of you. But if only the person inside of the shell that they feared. If only they knew…

“I…” Your voice starts with a quiver, leading you to falter in your words almost instantly. You’re tempted to draw into yourself- to make yourself smaller. Less of a problem to the world around you. But Zhongli reads you too easily. He’s quick to snatch at your wrist, keeping your hands where he could see them. It jolts you forward, but you’re far too worried about the unreadable expression crossing his face as the blood in your body starts to flow faster. It’s obvious what he’s looking for. And it’s obvious that he knows it’ll be there. Still, you find your mouth opening to say what you’ve been meaning to say once more. “I’ve…I’ve been distracted lately…Please forgive my carelessness.”

The apologies roll off your tongue almost as easily as destruction sprouts from your fingertips. Loose and uncontrollable. Fast yet natural. The apology is in reference to the world around you. The world he found you in. The world littered and broken with signs of your powers running haywire. The world you know will eventually break down and heal itself. All for you to accidentally destroy again. It’s the story of the landscape around the two of you. The story of the decaying trees and the dead grass. It’s the story of the rocks with holes that are too perfect to be the result of weathering. The story of a proud mountain that no longer exists on this mortal plane.

It’s the story of your hands.

The ancient etching painting onto your skin. In a language, you no longer remember. In a jargon, you no longer pray upon. In a diction you no longer hope to understand. Yet despite what you see. Despite what you cannot read. Despite what you cannot learn to no longer trust. Your hands tell a story. Your hands show signs. Your hands that show signs of use. Your hands that show signs of hurt. Of pain. Of destruction. Of regret.

Of hope.

It’s the story of destruction. The story of a woman.

“Never apologize.”

And how only creation. And how only a man.

“Forgive me, Morax. You know I can’t-”

Could ever exist in the same life…

“Never apologize…for something I love you for.”

…as hers.

Thoughts on imposter!au?

-rapid

I think it has a lot of really good potential for angst, which is one of my favorite things to read

I do prefer reading about the after when the reader is discovered as the creator and the fall out of that, the whole characters trying to atone with no chance or at least a very small chance at redemption is a pleasant read 😌

That being said, the biggest problem I have with it overall is a lot of characters are just incredibly ooc, which is partly to be expected when you try to take these morally good and smart characters and make them into villains, it's sort of hard to avoid

But I just really don't feel like most of the genshin character would act that way towards poor reader who shares the creators face

Now if the reader was at least actively calling themselves the creator that would be some grounds for it, but a person who denies their association from the get go doesn't seem like a reasonable target for that aggression, just a victim of circumstance, especially in a situation where the general likeness is a little bit more up to interpretation considering how long ago it's said that the creator was seen, even the most well built statues erode

And in the case of Venti, Archon of freedom, canonically took on the form and face of another, I feel as if he would be the most sympathetic

I can definitely see the logic leap where someone impersonating the divine creator would be seen as an incredibly significant crime, but impersonation requires more than just a general appearance likeness

Now an instance where there's already someone acting as the divine creator and then reader happens to become a victim of their fury is a more realistic situation, I mean any of the characters when told to kill someone impersonating the person they worship would do so without question, especially when the evidence seems stacked against the person

So the biggest problem with that one is where the heck did that imposter come from and how on earth did they get away with acting as the divine creator for so long?

I do like the whole gold blood thing, it's very greek ichor feeling and I can definitely get behind that as a concept, it would also be very cool if the appointed Archons had that too tho imo, I mean I can't even begin to describe how well it fits with Zhongli, but I guess that takes away a little bit from the fact that it's only an attribute of the creator so

Overall I'd definitely be down for writing for it, I would just have to do so in a way that felt natural to me and still did my own characterizations of our beloved characters justice

#genshin impact #sagau #hey look i'm talking #i do love me some angst so I've definitely sought this au out before

[20 Question Fic Writer Game]

Thanks for the tag @eomma-jpeg! This looks fun. :D

How many works do you have on AO3?

Twenty, if you can believe it, omg. Though, tbf, most of them are just little oneshots, lol. I only have a few chapter fics to my name. XD

What is your AO3 word count?

It's apparently 189,048... Which feels like far too much for what I've written, but okay. 😅

What fandoms do you write for?

As of right now, the only fics I've posted are (mostly) for Detroit: Become Human and (one singular one) for Trigun. I've also maybe started a few things for Genshin Impact and The Silmarillion, but nothing even anywhere near done, lol. But maybe one day!

What are your top five fics by kudos?

The Nearness of You (981)

A Simple Equation (847)

In a Name (604)

we're just two lost souls (swimming in a fish bowl) (501)

In a Flash (309)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Oh yes. I love getting comments, they mean so much to me? Even if it takes me awhile, I will respond to your comment!

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Pft, well, right now, it's a story called Reflections that I never finished writing. XD I left it off on a really uhhhhh... horrible cliffhanger... and haven't updated since... >_> But yeah, as a general rule, I don't do angsty endings. No matter what I put a character through, they're getting out in the end.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Absolutely The Nearness of You. Lol, the entire goal of that fic was to be like... the anti-angst. XD The DBH fandom really loves going dark and I was deliberately setting out to write something happy to try and counteract it all, omg. Not that it doesn't have a few serious moments to it of course but, overall, it just a light, fluffy romcom with (I think) a pretty funny ending, so yeah. XD

Do you get hate on fics?

Not for my fics in particular, per se, but I've had some run-ins with folks who don't like the ships I write for... Which isn't fun. >_>

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nah, no smut for me. Tbh, even writing kissing makes me squirm, I am so ace. XD I think I would implode if I even tried, wow.

Do you write crossovers?

I've... dabbled. Nothing I've ever published or anything, but I've had a lot of crossover ideas and stuff? And I've attempted to write a few, but nothing that ever got even close to finished, lol. Crossovers are fun to think about though. XD

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not a fic, no, but an idea? Uh, I used to get very elaborate with my prompts, with a lot of detail and stuff. Basically like mini outlines. (See my pinned message on my blog if you're curious, I have a whole list of them up there. XD) But yeah, one of them I shared with a former friend who I ended up having a huge falling out with. Well, they eventually wrote and published the idea awhile after we stopped being friends and like... fine, that's alright and all, but it sure would've been nice to get some credit for it... I don't care that they used it, only that any association with me is completely absent from the fic. :/

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, not to my knowledge!

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nothing published, lol. I've attempted one before (with that same former friend I mentioned above), but that obviously didn't pan out. However, now I am writing a much more successful attempt with my buddy, @eomma-jpeg! So finger's crossed that eventually gets posted one of these days, I love it so much.

What's your all-time favourite ship?

All-time fave?!?!?! Oh no.... How can I pick just one? Listen, you're just gonna have to deal with me listing one for each of my main fandoms rn, because I can't possible choose. For DBH, definitely Convin? (Connor/Gavin Reed) (Though damn, North60 is a close second these days. 👀) For Genshin... Ugh, I'm such a slut for Chili. (Childe/Zhongli) And for Trigun... Ugh, it's gotta be Millyons, right? (Milly Thompson/Millions Knives) I adore all these ships sm. 😭😭😭

What's a WIP you'd like to finish but doubt you ever will?

GD DBH COFFEESHOP FIC THAT I'VE HAD FIVE CHAPTERS WRITTEN FOR FOR LIKE THREE YEARS NOW BUT CAN'T FUCKIN FINISH, UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡

What are your writing strengths?

Ugh, geez, I don't know? Uh... I think I'm good at... description? Or like, setting the scene? I've also gotten a few compliments on my action scenes before, too, which I was kinda blown away by cuz I didn't think they were anything special, lol! But... yeah, maybe those?

What are your writing weaknesses?

Lololololololol, how about actually writing?!?!?! 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 It'd be grand if I could actually do it, omggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!

No, but other than that... I think I tend to rush? I get so fatigued by the idea of stretching something out too long so I think I tend to just cut right to the chase in my fics. I don't much like to meander or get sidetracked with B plots or anything. My fics are... compact, let's say. 😅

I also feel like my characterization can really veer off sometimes. I feel like sometimes I default to idealized versions of the characters I write instead of writing them as they actually are.

I make a lot of typos and stupid grammar mistakes and, despite me obsessively editing everything I write before posting, it seems like a lot of them still make it through. 😫

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I have... used little snippets of language in some of my fics before? But the kicker is that I found someone who actually speaks that language and asked them to help me with that, so idk, is that cheating? XD

I myself and a filthy monolingual, so I couldn't write a full-on fic in a different language or anything. But some phrases thrown in here or there for color/emphasis/character building? Yeah, I could probably do that.

First fandom you wrote for?

Oh, this is a loaded question, lol! So, first fandom I ever published a fic for was DBH back in 2019. But you'd be a fool to think that was my first attempt. XD Honestly? I think my first try was like a Suikoden fic back in... Idk, '99 or 2000? I was a child and it sucked hardcore, but y'know. XD I'm so glad my anxiety didn't prompt me to publish anything I wrote thought, omggggg. The mountain of garbage I would be sitting atop now if I did... XD

Favourite fic you've ever written?

Ah, man, it's The Lark Ascending. Without a doubt. That fic... It's both the longest thing I've ever written and the most personal. I drew from a lot of my own experiences when writing it and it helped me process some of the shit I was going through at the time and I just think it turned out... really nice. I went back and reread it not too long ago and I just... I adore it.

It's also one of the most accessible fics I've written, if anyone is curious? The whole concept of it centers around the characters as elemental spirits and I use no canon names or places or anything through the entire main story. It's the only thing I've done that's tagged with both the fandom that inspired it, but also Original Work. Because yeah, it basically is a completely original novel tbh.

The downside of it being super accessible is that it didn't really catch on in the fandom it was tagged for (DBH). It is still to the day one of my sadder failures, just because I put *so much* of myself into it? And I truly believe it has my best writing out of everything I've done, too. I went super stylized and almost poetic with it and I really tried to modulate how I wrote to match the elements of the characters I was portraying. Honestly, I'm so proud of it and I just really wish it had had a better reception than it garnered, but oh well. What's done is done.

Thank you again for the tag, @eomma-jpeg, this was a lot of fun!

As for me, I will tag... @woppy42 @ewates @sharysisnhmoonshadow @connor-sent-by-cyberlife @detroitbecomeonline @titaniumpsychologist @nock-and-bolt and anyone else who wants to pile in here! XD

#tag games #about me #writing #fanfic #dbh #genshin impact #trigun #haha look at me ramble XD #this was a good tag game though #I enjoyed this one a lot! :D

Yesterday I fell from some metal stairs from the top. It was raining and the stairs are outside the house.

I wanted to comfort my relatives on the first floor who are afraid of the yesterday's rain (ngl it was strong, it even hail, which is very rare where I live)

Now that I'm in bed instead of worrying about my throbbing left leg (it bent and had to be put in a cast).

I wondered how it would be MC with the Genshin boys if something similar happened to her, hehehe.

[Btw: I love reading Angst. I enjoy reading the pain. Especially your works 💖👌

Also the funny part is when a I was about to go one stair down I started singing "Mexico lindo y querido" in nahuatl, I think Tlaloc got angry 'cause I mispronounced one word. I fell down like a cartoon character. Also me ]

- Mexican Candy 🇲🇽

This is a suggestive (by suggestive i mean what suggest really means,,) ask so it took incredibly long but auuuuu I hope you're doing fine and dandy now anon dear, though I'm sure it'd take a lot of time before the cast is going to say goodbye-

It goes without saying that whenever MC is hurt (let's be general, MC as MC-), Genshin men would be concerned.

Okay Scara maybe not (he's worried shh he just doesn't say it aloud)-

Certainly, they'd go out their way to assuage whatever complication MC may be having. I swear Thoma/Kazuha/Aether/Bennett/Itto/Venti are the types to just give her a piggyback ride, maybe a bridal carry? 😳

Kaeya and Childe I believe would do this, but he'd add it up with a sly, "You have to do something for me when you get better though ;))"

I imagine Ayato/Diluc/Zhongli/Xingqiu/Chongyun/Gorou politely demanding MC to stay the shuck on the bed lol, no moving until she's better. You know, the most normal reaction 😆😆

Xiao definitely is included in this, but remove a bit of the politeness adhsajdhsajhasd

He'd straight up be : "Don't even try to leave the bed."

I second this dialogue with Tighnari SHDASHDASJ but he would definitely be a bit sterner, along with Albedo. Personal nurse lol

Heizou and Razor would be on Tighnari/Albedo's level of observation, if not on a different level,, mainly because they rely on their keen senses a lot. Like a whole lot, that goes without saying- so I think they'd be the kind to be at MC's beck and call.

Scara's on a whole other world :V

"This is what you get lol" - scara

Naur, he definitely tries to make things easy, though he tries to be subtle at it. When MC catches him, say, freeing up more space so there's almost nothing to bump into, he'd blow up with some awful excuse like "IT'S ANNOYING TO HAVE IT THERE" AHDJSAKDSHAK

#moonlitchat #queued #like did i legitimately forgot some characters-#ah the character pool is increasing...#remember when it's just diluc/kaeya/bennett/chongyun/razor/xingqiu/aether at launch?? aaAAAA

for the writer ask 3, 14, 18, 26, 43, 55, & 68!

3) Describe the creative process of writing a chapter/fic

Usually I work off of an outline; if I don't have one for the whole fic, I'll work on that first, even if it's just rough for that chapter. What I need to happen in the chapter and what kind of scenes would accomplish that. I find that outlining and constantly thinking about the rest of the fic and having plot points as goals, etc., is what helps me finish fics, even if it takes years.

14) How do you write emotional scenes? Do you ever feel what the characters feel? Do you draw from personal experiences?

Sometimes personal experience is thrown in, yes. But only in crumbs. Exact situations, no. The emotional parts? A little bit. All writers do. What I don't know first-hand and feels weak gets researched so it at least feels authentic. Angst is usually where I feel my characters' emotions far more than joyous scenes. The latter tend to make me feel proud and like the characters have overcome a lot. (Not that they don't deserve to be happy regardless but characters serve a plot and the story as a whole is better when things are earned).

18) Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?

Already answered! <3

26) Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

Hmm, that's a good one! Deus in Absentia definitely qualifies, Under Observation does as well, and I would argue DALDOM can be a wild ride if you don't read the tags, I guess lol.

43) Do you take a sadistic joy in whumping your characters, or are you more the "If you hurt them I would kill everyone and then myself" kind of person?

I love hurting my characters, who are we kidding. They all get to suffer before they can be happy. The only way out is through, you know?

55) Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

Excluding canon characters (because that's literally just Dottore and Zhongli and it's clear who I've chosen to let occupy my brain for now.)

It's a tie between Musician Reader, Accountant Reader, and Karina.

Used to be Karina only. But as I got more familiar with a reader character who has a more defined personality and acts as a pair of shoes for a reader to walk in, I've grown to really love Musician Reader over the course of the story. She's still a little too passive at times, in my opinion, but she is the softest character I have (in comparison to Karina who is detached and traumatized af and Accountant Reader who has no room for her own wellbeing).

68) What, if anything, do you do for inspiration?

Literally anything other than writing and touching the source material (if I'm feeling burnt out, as I often am) but it's so easy to forget to do these things because I don't feel up to them. I talk to others and bounce ideas around IRL and online. I read books of different genres but ones I still enjoy, I'll play different games, do housework, spend time away from social and fic and go outside. Sometimes, I go for a drive if it's nice out. TLDR: I get out of my head because inspiration exists outside of myself lol

Hiii, first-time anon here!! I just found BK at chapter 30 and I have no clue why I haven't found it sooner skfjsk Don't know what I was doing without this work of art in my life, don't wanna go back~

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your writing so much!!! The story's flow, the little interactions between MC and Ajax and literally everything else is so well-thought-out <3 Your wording is so very pretty as well, it really made me feel like a princess, and brought MC to life perfectly :)

I read E V E R Y T H I N G from the beginning to chapter 30 in one sitting (took nearly 2 hours if you were wondering, I wish academic reading was this easy ;-;). It's funny how I got to around chapter 18, I thought that was bad. Like, really bad. I then found out the pain only intensifies, but it's so good!!! I only cried a few times, got jumpscared with chapter 31, cried some more, and now I'm here :D

The character arcs for MC and Ajax are so beautiful too!! It's absolutely seamless, and it's really amazing to see them slowly grow familiar to and fall in love with each other more n more <3 What they did what really understandable, but that does not excuse a certain someone from being an ass >:( I love our Princess so much, Ajax definitely doesn't deserve her and everything she did for him, especially after that trick he pulled in chapter 30 and the whole Lumine drama </3 I would say she needs to give him a hard time before forgiving him, but ah.

And there are so many questions left. What will our family and friends from Liyue do? Maybe this explains MC's past vision of Zhongli with the unknown woman? I thought that meant he'd move on from MC eventually but I absolutely did NOT expected this :( There's also vision of Ajax under the tree... It'd be so heartbreaking if MC first thought he was scheming to hurt her and her people, when he's just really praying to have her back. I think he never learnt about Duke Maxim too. If he can't even do that right for our Princess I'll be so mad xD

Thank you so much for writing this beautiful piece <3 It's easily one of my favourite works EVER and I'm sure it'll stay there forever! I can't wait to see the next chapters and your new work, I'm sure they'll be just as wonderful if not more than what you've written (BK will always be special though <3)

Looking back I really had a lot of thoughts about BK xD Hope you didn't mind the wall of text :) Have a lovely day and don't forget to take care of yourself! <3

I'm off to reread BK ehehe

HELLO!!! WELCOME WELCOME! and thank u for joining the anon club ehehehehe!!

AWHHWHWHWHWH YOU’RE TOO SWEET THANK U SO MUCH THAT MADE MY DAY. i can’t wait to share more angst chapters!!! so please stay with me until we reach the end of BK!<3 LOVE YAAA! have a great day sweetie!

Hello! This is just me asking for your spoiler-filled thoughts after finishing Sumeru's Archon quest because I saw you finished and I have so many feelings myself and would love to read yours.

HI SORRY FOR THE DELAY LETS GO (SPOILER WARNING)

Sumeru's quest was SUCH a step up from the past archon quests. In act 2, I loved how you actually felt the emotions of the traveler as they were stuck in the samsara (I remember very clearly how, when Paimon told Dunyarzad "sorry we overslept", I was like "that's not gonna leave a great impression since you guys had the same reason yesterday 😭" until everything started happening exactly the same and I was like. hold tf up. And then the whole mystery of what's going on was very immersive too, with all the reasoning steps taken to figure out the truth - like my mental gears were actually turning along with the traveler trying to figure it out, though of course the truth was way beyond what I could imagine. Nilou's dance scene was gorgeous, and Dunyarzad was one really great NPC that I genuinely liked.

3.1 had some really cool parts that I love to go back to - the cutscene talking about Deshret and Rukkhadevata (it's quite sad to see that Kasala tells the desert-dwellers to not forget of what Rukkha did for the desert, yet in the end, they did :'( ) and SCARAMOUCHE'S BACKSTORY ANIMATION!! oh my god that was the key that turned me from being "eh he's alright. a bit extra perhaps. interesting bits of backstory so far" into "I would bark for you, king". His CN VA did a really great analysis of that video that stated his interpretation - the "second betrayal" is a mockery of the friends and family that he doesn't have, and "third betrayal" is actually his bitterness that he couldn't do anything for the kid, and all of that just solidified into an anger since nothing ever turns out happily for him. For someone who's not quite human, his characterization is so human in a painful way that displays all of humanity's ups and extreme downs. Scaramouche is just such a fascinating character.

3.2 ARCHON QUEST!! Such a good finale omfg. The best parts, for me, were any moments with either Nahida or Scaramouche (or both). The way i was like simping when the illusion of Scara spoke to the traveler? His lofty, "godly" tone was like... aw you're so into the role that it's almost cute haha.

When we went to break Nahida out of her locked consciousness and you hear her talking to herself about all her efforts being met with disdain and abandonment, and her voice was so heartbroken and choked that my heart shattered into a million pieces... and also the traveler spoke!! Definitely worth remembering.

Scara boss fight(s). God. For one, his battle themes SLAP. Two, voice acting was so key here, and I think the CN VA was phenomenal - while in the mecha, he still has that lofty, deliberate voice of a "god" - but when he's defeated, you can hear the panic and desperation hitting him like a sledgehammer. The change in tone is just that audible. Honestly that scene where he lost the gnosis made me feel so bad for him 😭😭 he's usually so arrogant and temperamental but this thing, the reason why he even exists, has such a hold over him. His expressions were also heartbreaking 😭

But the angst doesn't end, because there was the Nahida and Rukkhadevata scene and the tears were POURING down my face because, again, the voice acting was great (you could hear Nahida's voice getting higher and airy from tears) and also the expressions, I think it's the first time we've had such realistic intense crying in the game. Rukkha is someone we've only known for a single scene, yet it was enough for me to feel really sad that the entire world would forget her and her benevolence. Zhongli's line "Those who come to witness will witness, those who are born to remember will remember" hits real different here.

in summary, i love the gods of sumeru that we met in this quest (i count scara in this category)

i will feed you all the ayato brainrots and you can’t stop me, this is your fate when you signed the contract to be my adopted cousin /hj

hehehe that does sound like ayalia alright!! and mwahaha i know you love your nobleman!au >:D

THE CRACK ROUTE OF YOU HEABUTTING AYATO LMAO I ADORE THAT SO MUCH and tbh i can't blame you i mean if zhongli does that with that voice of his i would break his nose with my hard skull and get a concussion myself-

his fangirls would be so jealous because it’s so apparent that he favors you. he sees you walking down the hallways and he’ll drop everything to suavely slide onto your path, ask you about your day and offers to help you carry your books to your destination. oh, you’re with a friend? he’ll introduce himself politely (as if there’s anyone in the school who doesn’t know of him) and starts assessing the situation - a potential foe? an ally that can be trusted? a neutral party he could use to his advantage? hmmmm.

when he discovers that one of the professors is your cousin, he probably tries to get brownie points from said teacher just so she can tell you how helpful and reliable he is lmao

ayato… he’s a slytherin in my book. he may not have grand ambitions but i feel like he wouldn’t exactly be opposed to use…. slightly underhanded means / something that defies rules, to secure what he wants? lol i’ve always thought of him as a cunning man… i agree that he’s definitely not a gryffindor tho! and heizou as gryffindor sounds fitting now that you said it!!

zhongli is…. uhmmm. ravenclaw vibes just bc i can see him pursuing knowledge above all things, and the other houses just doesn't seem to fit him. there might be a slight slytherin there, maybe on his younger days? xiao is a total hufflepuff methinks!! kazuha… i’m torn between gryffindor and hufflepuff. and al haitham = ravenclaw, but then again i have yet to finish the archon quest so i’m probably wrong-

I MEAN WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING ME TO SAY YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER /J the darn beatdrop and the erhu and guzheng(?) are just. top tier 💯✨❤️ and yes orchestral music is just so. hngggg. i wish i can go to a live orchestra properly one day!!!

it is… i’m down bad…. he’s so. sljfklsjdflksd. i’m always weak for deep/calm sounding voices ;;;; dps zhongli is… okay (his meteor hits 31k last i checked but i have yet to assemble all the artifacts, i heard from my brother a full dps zhongli's meteor can hit like 80k??) xiao still does more dmg with his ult in total since he can plunge several times. i can never tire of zhongli’s eb cutscene & voicelines tho hehehe

soft men on his wedding day is just <3 all the stress in planning it out was worth it, ayato thinks as he sees you in your wedding dress... for that moment he's convinced he's the happiest man in the whole world <3 <3 i still can't decide if i want to see zhongli in a full decked suit or traditional chinese wedding outfit.....

LOL we’ll see. i mean i’m not in the mood for angst 24/7, who knows, you might get a fluffy request~

YES AND SEEING THEM BREAK DOWN BC THE LOVE OF THEIR LIFE (ME) SUFFERS? EXQUISITE. INCREDIBLE. DELECTABLE. 👌🏻💘 i swear i’m sane

the shenanigans of zhongli and his shield lmao oh i keep forgetting about the azhdaha photoshoot gotta go do that soon too!!

if i have to persevere sm ayato brainrots until death in order to stay as your cousin, then so be it. *clenches fists* no because see??? we'd break their noses or give them a concussion on accident 😭 sorry, loves, it's just a fight or flight instinct, nothing personal. <//3 (/j)

ayato just lives to see the reaction on your face; the twists and turns of your eyebrows as they frown, the way your lips would hesitate to ask him "why?", how you'd avert your gaze from him. if studying you were a subject, he would excel with such flying colors professor raiden would've raised an astonished eyebrow at him. FJKEKDJFK. i am no longer here. head empty, prefect!ayato only 🚶

rin jie, i warn you, do not let ayato see you around zhongli 🏃 because i can already feel the amused chuckles he'd hide behind his hand so politely while he makes an example from the lovesickness (simpness and we are proud /j) on your face. he'd tap his chin and say, "hmm... i wonder if one day, you'll look at me that way too?" but dw, i will never let him slander you. how dare he do that to my cousin??? know your place, pretty boy. 🤨 (/j)

true true~ the way ayato goes about things sometimes really gives off major slytherin energy. but thank goodness he uses those tactics of his to bring justice to light or just to mess light-heartedly with the people he loves 😭 i also love how in yae miko's voicelines, she actually called him an unpredictable rascal — okay, so ayato is one of the few students professor yae finds annoying, noted. (/j)

adding alhaitham to the trio??? i see, it's a quartet now 👀 yes, i 100% agree with you on zhongli as a ravenclaw !! i think geo vision and dendro vision holders are the same in the aspect of being extremely loyal and dedicated to their passion — but dendro allogenes lean more towards knowledge and some can be morally grey at times??? which is why i get slytherin vibes from alhaitham, personally! i like how the both of us are just here sorting these silly men into hogwarts houses like they're chibi figurines fjekskek

YEPP, xiao is definitely a hufflepuff. beneath that tough exterior of his, it feels like he just has an inexplicable inkling of innocence on the inside <//3 and for kazuha, i'm leaning towards hufflepuff for him??? he is a pacifist and more mellow than a gryffindor 🤔

uuuuu, good luck assembling artifacts for dps zhongli, rin jie !! i think i'm just gonna keep him as a shield support because i fought azhdaha with him on the team yesterday and i've never beaten that giant rock frog so fast before 😭 his current HP is 39k rn and idk if that's enough? how much HP would you and your brother recommend for a new zhongli haver??? asking for advice from fellow zhongli mains fjkekwkdk

ZHONGLI IN A TRADITIONAL CHINESE WEDDING OUTFIT. we already know the man looks good in suits, so to see him in a traditional chinese wedding outfit??? now, that is smth new 👀 allow me to be your wedding photographer 📸

praying that your fluffy mood switch stays on 24/7 during the period where my requests are open in the future. (/j) speaking of, what are your fav fanfic tropes??? for both fluff and angst 👀 i say this while i hold my fav angst tropes; unrequited love and right person, wrong time close to me. they may be basic, but when the love interest chooses smth over the protagonist like another person they love or a passion they can't give up on <//3 just the fact that the love you're willing to give your all for being inferior to smth else in the love interest's eyes pains me 🚶

RIGHT, THE PHOTOSHOOT. i actually tried taking a pic of azhdaha while fighting him with zhongli until the game told me i can't take pictures inside domains... no selfie with zhongli's friend then <//3 so, i had to make do with my recent victim, gimel aka geo hypostasis that i had to farm for after zhongli came home without warning — here, have some pictures taken before destruction! >:)

(ahh, true family bonding time <3 and the the way i had to keep my distance taking these because i'm scared it's gonna activate on me HRKLOFO)

#AND OML. I JUST NOTICED I ACTUALLY HAVEN'T FOLLOWED YOUR NEWEST WRITING BLOG YET??? I'M SO STUPID #no wonder i don't see you on my notifs HELSDOSODJ I AM ON MY WAY TO THE FOLLOW BUTTON >:)#i hope your day was good btw rin jie~#ask box! 📬#visitor: dearest rin! 💠

Today in: My genshin ships~

Why do I ship my ships *pats herself in the back*

Navia / Clorinde: They are the obligatory lesbians of the region, but in my opinion these two have the best chemistry of the other wlw pairings. I love the sweet angst between them, and I'm only halfway through the Fontaine story. Also their opposite aesthetics only made me love them even more. I need the Clorinde banner NOW, I'll build a team just for her.

Thoma / Ayato: I'm a sucker for the master/servant dynamic, and while Thoma has that with Ayaka as well, we 100% know she has a crush on Lumine/Aether. I loved the beginning of the Ayato quest where they are just chilling, Thoma also takes care of Ayato in any way his master needs and that is very cute and hot.

Xiao / Venti: The grumpy/cheerful trope always gets to me. Also Venti seems to care A LOT for Xiao, giving him the vision, cleaning his karmic debt, saving his life, and this boy isn't even from Mondstat which makes it even cuter. One point for the opposites trope that I keep on loving.

Xiao / Zhongli: I'm a sucker for them. The way Xiao still respects Morax as this divine being and Zhongli saving Xiao in his chasm moments of need... Wow *cries*. Their dynamic of this all powerful but benevolent and caring being and the sad and serious small warrior is great. Also their designs are from my favorites of the whole game. Sadly Xiao is not very compatible with the teams I'm building right now and if I pull for him just because I like his design he will end up benched and I don't want that :c

Xiao / Aether:

Amber / Eula:

Ei / Yae Miko:

Aether / Noelle: Listen, I'm not on the Traveler/harem boat, but since he (I picked Aether) interacts with practically everyone in the game, in my opinion he has pretty good dynamic with some characters and Noelle is definitely one of them, their hangout event is adorable, she looks forward to be like him and they basically end up in a date, the roses ending is super cute. She's like my wife in the serenitea, and she's even in my abyss team, what can I say...

Aether / Childe: They are so chaotic, I like that. Childe's obsession with fighting him ended up in a very weird friendship. Also his mission with Teucer and all the stuff with his family made me develop a soft spot for him. ALSO, boy you cannot give your vision to him and expect me not to feel a thing, please. This one is not in my top ten, but I still like it a lot. My love for them is Pnkcrow's fault and if you recognize that name, you know what I'm talking about, you're as guilty as I am.

Aether / Layla: Their Hangout has been my #1 favorite so far, it's the epitome of cuteness, the date at the forest melted my heart, he is very supportive of her conditions and doesn't treat her any differently because of it. I adore Layla and her alter mentioning she doesn't have any friends surprised me, she is so sweet. Definitely top 5 favorite characters and my first C6, I love her. I need them to hug and to stay together forever, bye.

Tighnari / Cyno: They are the Sumeru husbands. I love chaos, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I love shipping something safe and beautiful, where my soul can rest~ They are made for each other, also I love the daughter-Collei dynamic is beautiful. I love me some family environment ❤️✨. Bless the Peaches/Nari cover, yes that one. Meta is temporary, ships are forever, so Main DPS Cyno, sub DPS Tighnari we go. Definitely in my top 10. Btw my team's 'nari keeps on stealing Childe's bow and I like that~

Razor / Bennet: This one started for me in the event where we were making the wine from Razor's parents (I'll never forget that event, it has been my favorite so far, I cried and everything lol). That moment where Bennett sympathizes with Razor's situation and explains to him his own, while promising they will be there for him was a direct hit to my heart. I can definitely see them going on adventures together. Also, I don't know, but when characters work together in a team, I end up liking their ship even more (?

Wriothesley / Neuvillette: These two are living rent-free in my head right now. My love for them is surreal. They have everything, they are cute and safe, also slightly angsty if they need to, opposites that complement each other, their aesthetics also opposites that complement, they are perfect, they even have a daughter (I don't care Sigewinne is older than Wriothesley and a menace to society, I love her and she's so Wriolette-daughter coded). Also I have a very soft spot for dragons, so here we are. I despise with my heart and soul not being able to use them in an abyss team, they both are on fields and it wouldn't work as good as I'd like them to. Very high in the list, definitely in the top 3.

Jean / Diluc: I have SUPER MIXED FEELINGS for these two. I wasn't expecting to like them this much but Jean is so sweet and down to earth in contrast to Mr. I'm Mondstat's Batman here. Another point for the opposites trope, but I feel they complement each other so well. In the fics and comics the author's depiction of the pair is amazing, is a very solid ship, I could say it is from the best ones from Mondstat.

Lumine / Dainsleif: I can't get enough of the Princess x Knight headcanons of them both. That alone was strong enough to make me love this ship with my heart and soul. Also my undying love for Dain doesn't help the case.

Itto / Gorou: Ok, hear me out. Itto is canonically in love with Gorou. He loves Miss Hina, and we all know who she actually is. Also they are nade for each other team-wise, Itto DPS and Gorou Support are Geo top tier. I have this headcanon that makes me adore them and is Gorou being in the Inazuma-Watatsumi conflict and of course he's the general, but there in the battlefield arrives the general's boyfriend, this massive Oni with the power to get rid of half of Sara's army, ready to aid his cute doggo general~

Itto / Sara: With them it was like a cupid arrow went through my heart. It was such a crush moment with this pairing. They are the embodiment of "I like a woman who can kick my ass". I know it's a cliché nowadays but the black cat/golden retriever energy here is big. The headcanon of them initially being childhood friends melts my heart. I love their designs and together gets even better, the diligent and elegant Tengu and the imposing and chaotic Oni *chef's kiss*. Also I don't know why but I feel they would be super cute and safe together, this is like my comfort ship. Again, another one for the list and they have a spot in the top 3.

Itto / Ayato:

Yunjin / Shenhe:

Diluc / Kaeya: I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL OK? This was my first Genshin ship and it holds a very special place in my heart. They belong to the chaos-incarnated team and to the opposites teams, so very good points there. Sadly I don't like Kaeya's skin that much to purchase it so they can be both classy in the team. Right now they are not that high up in the list since they have gone a little outdated but still, very solid ship.
