#// Rosaria throwing it back for Jean

[yuusishi]

UNDER THE MISTLETOE

pairings : twst , genshin , hsr cast x gn!reader

genre : fluff , unestablished relationship , requited feelings

cws/tws : kissing lol (a lot)

a/n : happy holidays to all who have anything to celebrate and to those who don't I hope you enjoy a break and a warm december <3 this is also sort of my 1k special !! I know it isn't much but I couldn't think of anything to do to celebrate <//3

note: I know I mentioned friends in the first prompt but you can literally imagine these scenarios with either a crowd or alone lmao

"Oh. My. God" rang in their head as they looked up, eyes meeting the green leaf hanging above the two of you, "We don't have to push through with this... tradition if you don't want to..." they said but it came out as almost a mumble. As more teases fell from the mouths of your other friends, you couldn't help but inch closer to them, once you got the go signal you pressed your lips against theirs. It felt warm amidst the cold of the season and radiated a sense of comfort throughout your body.

(twst) Deuce, Cater, Ruggie, Azul, Epel, Idia, Sebek. (genshin) Jean, Amber, Ganyu, Chongyun, Yanfei, Sucrose, Thoma, Kirara, Kaveh, Layla, Charlotte, Navia, Kokomi (hsr) March 7th, Arlan, Asta, Bronya (sort of), Gepard, Luka, Qingque, Sushang, Guinaifen.

They stared at you silently, waiting for you to make the next move. Yes, they're interested in you and they know you were interested in them, but they didn't want to rush you. Eventually you stepped closer, tugging lightly on their hand before they tilted your chin. It was a calm, ordinary kiss, yet it made the cliché movie fireworks explode both in your mind and body.

(twst) Trey, Jack, Jade, Rook, Silver, Malleus. (genshin) Albedo, Ningguang, Zhongli, Kazuha, Shenhe, Cyno, Yun Jin, Ayaka, Alhaitham, Baizhu, Heizou, Nilou, Neuvillette. (hsr) Serval, Himeko, Natasha, Tingyun, Hanya, Argenti, Ruan Mei, Jing Yuan, Luocha, Argenti

"Well?" they said teasingly, throwing you a sly look as you fumbled around your outfit in an attempt to calm down. They waited until you stepped closer to them, their hand making its way to your cheek as they leaned in and kissed you. It was funny, you could've sworn you were sure they didn't like you back, so why were they kissing you so calmly yet with so much fervor? As you pulled back, you couldn't help the sense of longing as you looked back into their eyes looking like they, too, wanted more.

(twst) Ace (not a loser this time!!), Vil, Lilia. (genshin) Kaeya, Venti, Childe, Hu Tao, Itto, Yae Miko, Ayato, Lyney, Yelan, Wriothesley. (hsr) Kafka, Sampo, Black Swan (?), Sparkle

"There will be no 'kissing under the mistletoe'" They said sternly, but no one missed the tinge of pink dusting on their ears and cheeks. Despite the small disappointment, the party went on without a hitch. Later on into the night, you spotted them by the balcony admiring the stars with a small drink in hand and joined them saying you wanted a breath of fresh air. "I've liked you for quite some time now" fell from their lips, somewhat boldly even, the sudden confession made your heart skip a beat. A kiss placed on their lips was all the answer that they needed.

(twst) Riddle, Leona, Sebek, Idia (sort of), Jamil (genshin) Diluc, Beidou, Dehya, Xiao, Mona, Keqing, Rosaria, Eula, Raiden Ei, Kujou Sara, Kuki Shinobu, Tighnari, Candace, Scaramouche, Faruzan, Furina, Chevreuse. (hsr) Seele, Topaz, Blade, Yukong, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Xueyi, Dr. Ratio

They had a mixed expression of shyness and also slightly explosive joy. I mean, they knew that you liked them back but they just haven't had the chance to tell you yet, you know? They impulsively (but gently) took your hands in theirs and looked you in the eyes as if telepathically asking you for consent. Once you gave your permission they immediately kissed you, their happiness was infectious and leaving you feeling giddy once they pulled away from you.

(twst) Kalim (genshin) Yoimiya, Ga-Ming (?)

(Genshin Impact) Jean, Eula, and Rosaria's S/O being terrible at handling kids

ENOUGH ABOUT CHILDREN'S RIGHTS, IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT CHILDREN'S WRONGS Okay before you kill me, that's a joke. This is in regards to a lot of posts of reader usually dealing with kids in a great way like a good dad/mom. So this is for me the folks who have no idea how to interact with kids. Like, I'm talking THIS kinda level of bad with dealing with kids:

Jean has always known how to speak to kids thanks to growing up with Barbara. Though she is usually a bit more formal than she needs to be, every one of the kids thinks she's the nicest lady in Mondstadt.

It warms her heart.

S/O on the other hand always had raspberries blown their way by the kids, even when she's with them.

She's gotten reports of S/O accidentally making kids cry by trying to help. Specifically, there was one child named "Timmie", who S/O accidentally made angry by scaring his pigeons away.

S/O tried to make things better by feeding ducks, but apparently something went terribly wrong which resulted in duck casualties.

Though nothing will top the moment when she was enjoying a date with S/O and had a kid walk up to her and ask:

(Child) "Miss Jean, why are you dating a jerk like S/O?"

Which made her choke on her drink.

She has always thought about having kids herself when things settled down, but clearly S/O needed to learn how to not provoke them.

Even if it was accidental.

Despite the adults disliking Eula, many children adored her. Something she was surprised by herself.

That being said, many approved of her but not S/O.

Apparently they just didn't like S/O...That was it. Not really a reason beyond that. Well, at least she could understand that feeling.

She can't help but feel bad for S/O everytime she witnesses it.

(Child) "We dropped our ball!"

(Eula) "Ah, one moment-"

S/O picked up the ball and was prepared to throw it back to them.

(S/O) "Here you go!"

(Child) "...Uh, that's okay. You can keep it Miss Eula. Come on, let's go!"

The kids looked disgusted by S/O's presence and quickly ran off, making Eula look sympathetically at them.

(Eula) "...I suppose we do need to balance each other out since we're both hated by one half of Mondstadt..."

Rosaria wasn't great with kids herself. Her resting face was enough to make them flee in terror.

That's probably for the best, considering her true line of work. Besides, there was much better sisters to talk to the little tykes anyway.

That being said, she finds it hilarious how much kids seem to hate S/O. They always seem to scowl at them whenever they pass by and are called things like "poopybutt".

Rosaria finds it doubly hilarious whenever S/O attempts to calm them, they end up making them even more upset by having them stomp off and getting glares from nearby sisters.

Best of all, she didn't even have the reputation S/O does among the kids of Mondstadt.

(Rosaria) "Jeez, what'd you do to piss them off?"

They hit their head

Genshin impact x GN!reader

///Sfw (swearing)

Send me requests! <--- What I write

Tries squaring up with it, literally gets their fists ready and screams insults at it. You eventually had to pull them away because it was getting annoying hearing them yell at the inanimate object.

Venti (probably drunk), Itto, Beidou (drunk too), Bennett, Scaramouche, Eula

Curses for the first time in their life, ever. "FUCK!" They didn't notice, though. They were too focused on the throbbing pain to notice the shocked look on your face.

Ganyu, Barbara, Yun Jin, Yanfei

Plops down on the floor and just starts crying, while pointing at the object to get your attention like a kid running to its mother because some other kid hit them.

Klee, Childe, Itto, Ganyu (baby didnt have her afternoon nap💀)

"Oh. Ow, god damn." in a very emotionless stern voice that made you burst in laughter.

Jean, Ayato, Scaramouche, Eula

Goes fucking feral on the object, their animal instincts taking over them. You basically have to drag them away while they kick and claw at you

Yae Miko, Yanfei, Ganyu, Diona, Gorou, Razor💀

Ruins her day. Kinda like the second one except she yells it 10x louder and Ayato scolds her which then causes her to start cursing at him like an angry kid. He just gave up and left

Only Ayaka bro shes a whole different breed

"Oh FUCK me! that hurt."

Y/N: "My pleasure!~"

"no."

Lisa, Yae Miko, Raiden Ei, Diluc, Zhongli, Scaramouche, Albedo

Fucking passes out lol they were already tired

Jean, Ganyu, Sayu, Qiqi, Albedo

Tries to perform an excorsism on it

Shenhe, Chongyun, Xiao

"AYO Y/N! COME GET THIS FOOL, IT TRYNNA THROW HAYMAKERS (fists)"

Klee (Kaeya taught her that), Beidou, Childe, Itto, Xinyan, Gorou, Sara

This mfs out of it, they hit their head HARD. Look around while rubbing their head in a daze "Is it raining?"

Lisa, Jean, Keqing, Ayaka, Diluc

Does a very rock genere scream then walks away like nothing happened

Xinyan

Definition of "Woe is me!" They dramatically they stumble back and just look around like the fridge they hit theid head on just committed a horrible crime

Ningguang, Keqing, Venti, Sayu, Zhongli, Raiden Ei

Acts like nothing happened while they walk towards you to sit while they just "casually" have a black eye and huge ass bump on their forehead

Qiqi, Jean, Ningguang, Kaeya, Rosaria, Xiao, Hu Tao, Ayato, Albedo, Razor

STARTS FLIRTING ANe BLOWING KISSES TO THE obJECT??? HOW HARD DID THEY HIT THEIR HEAD?? WhaT??

Yae Miko, Lisa, Kaeya, Ningguang, Venti, Kokomi, Ayato

Declares that they will get vengance

Eula

[sheep-from-rad]

What if God!Reader had a kid? Either adopted or not. What if they were pregnant when coming to Teyvat or got into a secret relationship and it happened? What would the acolytes think? What would they do?

SAGAU: Parent readerNote: I just love the brains of my anon. Well, you ask and I shall provide. Also Happy birthday Asmodeus!!! I should try to write Obey me again. It’s been a while. Lastly, if you have an idea or a question that you want me to write just dump them in my inbox.Warnings: afab! reader, pregnancy (mention), throwing up, yandere-ish(?) Masterlist 

Rest assured the child will be the most spoiled child to ever live in the whole world. You want the toy? The little teddy bear? Auntie Ningguang got it for you. You want to go out and pick some flowers around Mondstadt? Big sister Amber has your back with big brother Razor on guard. Do you want to go and play? Take Klee with you but promise not to do anything bomb related okay? The acolytes will see the child, adopted or not, as an extension of you which means if something happens to them the perpetrators should be ready for an incoming war. 

If the child has been there way before you two were thrown in Teyvat and then the acolytes would take it as their responsibility to be the second parent. They’ll happily become their guardians, playmates, teachers and protectors if you become busy with your job in Teyvat. I have a feeling it will take time for the child to adjust because they are used to technology for sure and Teyvat’s closest technology is not social media related but fine tools for work and adventures. 

In the adjustment period, acolytes will make their own schedules and it will be a by nation schedule to ensure that the time spent is equal. In Mondstadt they have activities such as learning how to use a wind glider with Amber and playing around with Klee and Diona. Kaeya for sure will be their guardian in the city because Jean is busy with her job as the acting grandmaster. Sucrose will be a dear and teach them the language of Teyvat with Albedo teaching them how to draw. Venti loves playing music with them but Rosaria has to keep watch because she left Venti alone; they were both found on the top of the statue in front of the cathedral. No worries about getting injured, we have Auntie Barbara on call. 

Lisa loves helping them fall asleep by reading a book for them and seeing them napping in the library is a common occurrence. Outside the city, Diluc would be their protector with Eula at the distance watching out for whoever that will try harming them. A small part of the Dawn Winery was converted into a mini playground for them to play around with Elzer and Tunner teaching them about the grapes. No wine though, just grape juice. Bennett and Razor will be their big brothers and would take them to adventures (with another acolyte following them to ensure their safety of course). 

They have more playmates in Liyue than in Mondstadt. The Liyue teens (Chongyun, Xiangling, Xingqiu, and Xinyan) will always set a time aside to play hide and seek around, Liyue is a big place at all and sometimes hide and seek takes a long time to finish. Qiqi’s memory is not good, which is why they are paired with Ganyu and Keqing if something happens. Yanfei once tried to teach them law saying that ‘the earlier the better’ but she was chastised by Madame Ping and the law book reading became story times. 

Hu Tao once tried to take them to Wuwang Hill but it got them frightened and ran away, luckily Xiao was able to calm them down. Hu Tao is grounded from taking them outside the city from then on. Ningguang and Childe, though they hate each other, will do their best to provide for the child. It has become a competition inside Childe’s brain though. From time to time when Yun Jin needs a time off, she will sneak outside the city with the child and Shenhe tagging along with them. If the city becomes suffocating, Zhongli will take them to different places like Qinghe village or carry them in his arms to go up Mt. Aocang to meet Cloud Retainer. 

Going to Inazuma, Kazuha and Beidou would be their guards. Thankfully, the Shogun already removed the storm barrier around the city or else it would be hard for them to move around. I have a headcanon that Beidou can take care of kids because the crew has a small boy and that also means that the child has a playmate whenever they need to travel. 

Kujou Sara’s headache doubled after the child took a liking and started going around with Arataki Itto. Yomiya’s fireworks shows became double as well with the child becoming their mini designer. The Komori teahouse is now filled with laughter because Ayaka and Ayato will always come visit. By Thoma’s words though, they are banned from using weird stuff in hotpot games. Taking a nap at Narukami temple with Sayu is now allowed by Yae Miko who loves spoiling the child with sweets. I have a feeling Sangonomiya shrine is their new favorite place as well and that some parts of it was child proofed by Gorou and Kokomi. Raiden who has been lonely for years will do her best to be a big sister or even a second parent to the child wondering if the warm feeling in her chest is the same feeling Makoto felt when she was still around her. 

If the acolytes are yanderes, they will not hesitate to use the child to gain your attention and might even subtly force them to pick a favorite place or acolyte. 

If the god! reader got pregnant by one of the acolytes in secret, it’s gonna be a mini war. You thought the secret relationship could be hidden until you went to the Narukami Shrine and Yae sniffed what’s going on already. The others brushed it off as Yae just joking until you woke up one morning complaining about the smell followed by throwing up. Before any of the archon could even go near, your acolyte lover came barreling to the door asking you if you’re alright and that’s when things clicked. 

Almost immediately regardless of power or money, your acolyte lover will be put to questioning because ‘really bro? Our god?’  This lover of yours will only be released by your orders. Some acolytes are salty about it though but it won’t stop them from trying to get your attention. If the pregnancy is sensitive, it’s high likely that the acolytes won’t let you travel and you’ll be spending the whole three terms in one nation only. Healers all around will be having their own home to stay in the nation that you choose and everyday the nation will be receiving tons of offerings and baby clothings and toys.

Once the baby is born, jealousy is likely to happen because it’s over. Your attention is now focused on the baby and your lover. Acolytes like Klee, Qiqi, Diona and Sayu don't mind it though, they just see the baby as a smaller sibling but to the older ones, it is different. Once that happens, they will persist and do their best to take care of the baby. In yandere context, having the baby born doesn’t save your acolyte lover though because the other acolytes will try their hardest to take them out of the picture.

her princess <3

"There's my girl" She whispered, kissing along your hips. She ran her hands up your thighs, smiling at you. She was such a cold person, it was hard to believe she was so soft with you. "Tell me what you need. Use your words"

She kissed your clit, barely. Her lips practically ghosting over your sensitive skin. You whined, your fingers lacing in her soft blue hair. "Eula please, you know what I need"

She chuckled, squeezing your thighs. "I know baby, but I like hearing it." She kissed your lower stomach, looking up at you. "Please? It sounds so beautiful"

You took a shaky breath, nodding and biting your lip. "I- I need your mouth. I need you, I need to cum"

She smiled, leaning up to kiss your collarbone. "You will. You always do my love" She crawled back down, gently locking your thighs over her shoulders. She nibbled on your skin, holding your hips. "Your body is so perfect, so fucking sexy"

She licked your clit gently, causing you to squeal and close your eyes. "Thank you. Thank you so much"

She gently lapped at your cunt, her hands massaging your thighs the whole time. "My baby, my princess." She dipped her tongue into you, making you shudder and grip her hair tighter. "Yeah? You like that?"

You nodded frantically, bucking your hips towards her. "Yes! I love that" You squirmed, clamping her head with your thighs. "Mommy..." You whined, tugging on her hair.

She froze, looking up at you. "Mommy?" She whispered, squeezing your thighs again. "Say that again my love"

She started to eat you like a starved woman, moaning loudly and biting at your clit. You squealed, throwing your head back and gasping. "Mommy!" You shook, looking down at her with teary eyes. "Mommy... Mommy that feels so good!"

She hummed in approval, dipping two fingers into your sopping pussy. "Yeah baby, show mommy how much you love this"

You sobbed, your thighs trembling. "Mommy- mommy please 'm gonna cum!"

She moaned, her face was messy and her eyes were shut in concentration. "Yes. Cum baby, go ahead." She sped up her fingers, pressing the pads of her fingers against your sweet spot.

You arched your back, gasping and whining as you came undone under her, screaming her name. "Eula!"

She rubbed your clit as you came down from your high, sucking your juices from your thighs. "There's my girl. Beautiful, perfect."

She sat up, wiping her face off on the towel you always kept by your bed. She smiled down at you, running her fingers through your hair. You looked up at her, till dazed. "Thank you mommy"

She laid down, pulling you close. She rubbed your back, kissing around your face. "Anything for my good girl" She held you on top of her, looking at you with loving eyes.

You yawned, hugging her tightly and setting your head on her chest. You had no idea how on earth this cold woman could be so gentle with you. It was like you were a princess, like she cared for you more than anything. "I love you" You whispered.

"I love you too" She kissed your cheek, pulling the blanket over both of you. "Sleep now, rest"

You fell asleep, your body relaxed against the love of your life.

✧ DIVINE ADULATION . sagau headcanons

✧ SUMMARYzz.. 1111

So, divine creator descends and the acolytes are ofcourse beyond pleased, yet there's a problem. Divine creator had a significant other back in their original reality, whom they weren't able to say goodbye to before descending since it was so sudden. Don't even worry though, significant other also descended! So, one day the creator and their lover get reunited, what would the acolytes reactions be?

✧ PAIRINGzz.. 2222

Sagau x GN!Reader (no pronouns mentioned)

Reader x GN!S/O

✧ WARNINGSzz.. 3333

Slight yandere if you squint , cult au , religious themes , stalking , privacy deprivation , relationship sabotaging .

✧ SIDE NOTESzz.. 4444

Merry Christmas to whoever celebrates it <3

THE divine creator was thought to be a being ancient, not exactly incapable of feeling love but unwanting to waste their time on such matters. So, seeing you be so sad, devasted even, when you descended because of a certain someone surely caught the acolytes off guard.

A few weeks passed, you seemingly calmed down yet your opinion on getting a spouse within teyvat was always negative. Something about loyalty you said, something about unwavering faith and about missing someone you said.

At first the acolytes weren't sure what to think about it, yet during a seemingly normal day you were spotted running toward an unknown person. Time once again passed, and within the following days the acolytes were able to see you walking around with the same person, hell, you even invited them to spend the night in your room, the two of you requested for snacks to be brought during the late hours of the night multiple times, seemingly enjoying each others company so much that you were barely able to stop talking about things all night.

Yet once every acolyte got the news, and once they spread throughout teyvat, was when the real chaos began.

Surely, everyone wanted to know who this mysterious person who would spend every night and every day with the creator was, they were beyond certain said person couldn't just be a regular person to be able to receive such adulation from you.

Probably refuses to believe that you could have a lover, teyvat is full of rumours, especially surrounding the important people. It isn't a surprise they'd spread rumours about the divine creator. Surely their just a bunch of lies, right? Nobody is worth of even standing one stair below you, let alone stand by your side, especially not some random mortal!

Zhongli , Ei , Tsaritsa , Kamisato Ayato , Pantalone , Ningguang , Arlecchino .

Interesting, interesting. Probably doesn't care all that much, not like they were planning onto turning into a potential love interest for you, they'll continue their duties as worshippers and all. If the rumours are true though, they believe you're fully able of picking out a significant other, so for aslong as you're fine and happy in the relationship, it isn't their place to say anything.

Rosaria , Capitano .

Probably throws a secret tantrum if they see anything romantic happening between you and said person. I mean come on now! You want them? Seriously now?? Easily the most likely to start plotting on how they can sabotage the relationship. Oh, and don't get me started on what would happen if the two of you got engaged..

Wanderer , Childe , Venti , Kaeya .

The first to know about the relationship, they watched every single thing the two of you did within your private chambers. Unless the two of you were covered up with the sheets that is, obviously. Their just making sure you're safe! How can they trust you to be alone with a stranger hm? (This came out as sexual even though I had no intentions of making it sound anywhere near sexual, forgive me shhxjsks)

Xiao , Wanderer , Ganyu .

Regrets not making a move before you found someone, won't try to interfere with your relationship for now, respects your relationship, for now.

Albedo , Jean , Xiao , Ganyu , Kamisato Ayaka

Destroys the relationship after careful planning, either makes you seem disloyal either makes them, doesn't matter for aslong as the two of you aren't together anymore. Comforts you if you allow them to.

Wanderer , Childe , Venti , Kaeya , Ei , Zhongli , Kamisato Ayato , Albedo , Jean .

In conclusion, don't let the acolytes know of your relationship. Or do, we do not care.

[As]

✧ ENDING NOTESzz.. 5555

Rushed and bad but I got caught up in family stuff today so ykyk,, may remake but probably won't. Anyways, goodnight 🫶🏻

Language Barrier

It’s impossible to replicate everyone’s in-game experiences, character acquisition, etc, so the reader has developed their own. Did I throw darts at a wall to do so? ...No, definitely not, that would be ridiculous, what are you-

Chapter 6

(~2.3k words, see chapter list here)

You turn your head so fast you think you might get whiplash.

Did he just say what I think he said? "Say that again!"

The room goes silent.

Everyone's attention is on you now, but your eyes are focused squarely on Diluc, who looks back at you blankly. He seems to be aware he's done something, but not what, exactly. The room waits with bated breath as he shifts uncomfortably and clears his throat. "...Yzgnc mtuxc, xaue kigxm?" he says finally.

You narrow your eyes. No, that's not it. Surely you weren't just imagining things? You weren't, right? You were almost certain you'd just heard him say 'sorry', and maybe 'you' and 'we' afterwards. The last two you suppose could be words in their language, but the first was too distinct, you were sure.

...Ninety-nine percent sure, anyway.

You shake your head. Let's try this another way. You point to him with one hand. With the other, you fold your thumb to your fingertips to make a 'mouth'. You open and close it a few times, trying to get him to keep talking.

To your right, you hear Kaeya chuckle. "Kboyykxvso. Kbeknz ertu jxgkn ktu kitkztky zau lu xaue nzaus jtg eknz xkbkt ztgc uz xgkn aue qgkvy togmg."

Amber's eyes move to him. "Togzvgi gekgq! Yo yonz errgkx knz ksoz xul ykqup?!" she exclaims, seemingly scolding him. Eula nods sternly at this, and Jean looks exasperated.

Venti, meanwhile, studies you thoughtfully. "Zo yxgkvvg xoknz kigxm yztgc aue uz vkkq mtoqrgz. Jrauc aue kxgi uz kmrajto ya xul g ztksus, xkzygs iaroj?"

Diluc shifts again. "Zgnc sg I jkyuvvay uz qrgz zauhg?" Your focus on him sharpens again. 'I' could definitely be a word in their language too - after all, even English has 'eye' and 'aye' as well - but something about it made you feel that it wasn't.

"Exz mtozgkvkx zgnc aue jogy kxulkh," comes Jean's voice over your shoulder.

Diluc purses his lips before facing you directly. "Sorry xul knz egrkj. Yg you tgi kky, we zon tg jkzikvdkta vsah to knz jgux," he says slowly.

You brighten. "Sorry, you, we," you repeat excitedly, hoping you're actually onto something and not about to look like an idiot. "You said sorry, you, and we, right?"

The look on his face says he did.

"They tgi jtgzyxkjta ksuy lu knz yjxuc so mtoegy," he says, sounding more than a little stunned. "Jtg knz ksgy ykum xul me."

The room erupts into chaos. Everyone seems to be talking at once, and you stare at Diluc in awe. I can't believe it! Who cares if it's just a few words? I can actually understand somebody!

But, wait.

Why can I understand him?

There's no doubt the words he's said are fairly common, so you find it hard to believe no one else in the room has said any of them in your presence. Furthermore, as you listen to the man being bombarded by a barrage of incoming questions, you realize that the words he's saying... aren't any different from the words they're saying. Why would they be? The difference is that, somehow, when he says the words - some of them, anyway - your brain is able to recognize them, and evidently vice versa.

So perhaps rather than 'why can I understand him?', the question you should be asking yourself is 'why can I understand him?'

You gaze leaves Diluc as you glance around the room. Though they haven't done shit for you so far, you can't help but think back to common sagau tropes as you glance over the people gathered. Maybe it has something do with the characters you'd pulled? You had Diluc, yes, but you also had Amber and Kaeya. Although...

Although...

No.

No.

"No," you whisper. "No. Nonononono." You wheel around, startling everyone as you rush back to the table, snatching up the list of Mondstadt characters. Barbara? No. Razor? No. Mona, no, Sucrose, no, Diona, no. "Holy shit." Klee, Albedo, Rosaria, Fischl, Bennett - all no. How was this even possible?

How could you, in all your months playing Genshin...

...manage to get only one Mondstadt character to friendship level TWO?

"Well FUCK."

The thing about charades, you discover quickly, is that you still need to understand the same language. You can mime all you want, but you have no way to confirm or deny their guesses, because fuck if you know what they are.

Everyone's seated around the table now. You're at the end, with Diluc to your immediate left, presumably to translate. As if he could.

After recovering from your little outburst, there was a lengthy period where everyone else crowded around tossing words at the troubled winery owner, and he would repeat them to you, to see how much you understood. Not much, you learned. It was pronouns mostly: 'she', 'him', 'them', 'I', 'we', and so on. 'Please', 'sorry', and 'thank you'. 'Yes' and 'no'. That was about it.

You had no idea if they had any inkling why Diluc was the only one you could exchange a few words with, or if they were totally in the dark. You doubted they knew about friendship levels, but maybe they were at least aware of how he'd been your go-to pyro unit during your Dragonspine exploration days. To be fair, even you didn't know for sure that friendship levels were the answer. But, given the circumstances, it's all that you could think of.

Unfortunately for you, you had never really cared too much about your characters' friendship levels. They weren't useful for combat, the voicelines and backstories were all available online anyway, and you were fine with the namecard you had; so you had a tendency (one you were now deeply regretting) to use the same characters for pretty much everything. Sure, there were several that had gotten at least a couple levels here or there, but only a few were very high or completely maxed. Ugh, I knew I should've put more effort into my teapot.

In any case, you're obviously going to have to make your way to Liyue or Inazuma if you want to be able to hold a proper conversation with someone - and let's not forget finding out what's going on. Your grasp on your current situation is tenuous at best, and every time you think you're certain of something, it's been wrong. You need someone to sit down and explain everything to you... and luckily, you think you have just the person in mind.

Which brings you to now.

Charades with some knights, a vigilante, and a bard is the exact start of a bad joke that it sounds like. This is mostly because every bat of your eyelids is under close scrutiny; every twitch of your fingers analyzed to the nth degree. Often times you pause in your gesturing, trying to figure out how to act something out, and they launch into another round of guesses. "No, no," you say, and they calm down as Diluc repeats this to them, only to perk up again when you absent-mindedly scratch your cheek. It gets so bad that you finally slam both hands on the table with the most deadpan stare you can muster and say, "Would you please stop??"

That, at least, they seem to comprehend, or maybe they were already aware of how over-the-top they're being. Sheepish looks are exchanged, and when Diluc mutters, "Sorry," you know he's speaking for all of them. You sigh and sit back in your chair. Well, it's partially my fault for making it so complicated, you think. Think Razor speech. Forget trying to explain yourself, it's not going to happen. Instead, what's the simplest way to convey that you need to get to Liyue?

Map. You need a map.

This time, you reach for a sheet of paper instead. You see the in-game map every day, so it shouldn't be too hard to replicate, right? Pursing your lips, you start sketching the island the city is perched on, the one in the middle of Cider Lake. Everyone else leans in.

"Yo zgnz jkyuvvay uz kh g nzuuz?" Eula guesses from down the table. "Tg kek xul tg kek, g nzuuz xul g nzuuz - yvgnxkv ktuksuy yo krhoytuvykx xul yonz kzgzy lu yxogllg jtg yjkkt uz kh zrgkj nzoc."

"Yvgnxkv," Jean responds, "zah yzo uuz tuuy uz vsap uz etg ytuoyaritui. Zo jraui uyrg kh g... kamtuz?"

Kaeya chuckles (which tells you that either a) your drawing sucks, b) their guesses are horrible, or c) both of the above). "G nzuuz xu g kamtuz - yvgnxkv xoknz kigxm yo exmtan togmg?"

"Zo yquur g zoh kqor g lgkr," Venti muses. He leans forward. "Errgazig, kxknc kbgn o tkky yonz kxulkh?"

"Ykuj zo quur xgorosgl uz aue?" Jean asks him, as you start outlining your best guess of the lake. By now you're mostly ignoring your audience; as far as you're concerned, no one's gotten it right until someone slaps a map down in front of you.

"Yke, zah o ztgi kigrv zo zke. Xoknz ykigxm mtocgxj yrroqy kxg... skng... o zyap cutq zgnz kbo tkky zo kzoaw g ckl yksoz. Zgnc zauhg aue, xkzygs iaroj? Aue skky uz kbgn g tuozikttui nzoc xoknz kigxm, uj aue kfotmuikx mtonzetg?"

"...No," Diluc shakes his head. "I znmaunz zo znmos kh tg kek, zah zo ztykuj quur kqor yzgnz knz kygi kxusetg."

All of a sudden, Amber snaps her fingers excitedly. "Lu kyxaui! Etg xkjoxzau nzxuc xoknz zrgy jrauc kfotmuikx knz rgoxkg ckob lu zjgzyjtus!" You look up, the certainty in her voice surprising you. She grins and nods at you ecstatically, seeming confident in whatever assessment she's made. Hesitantly, you put down your writing utensil. With your fingers, you make a "frame" around your drawing, before expanding it, hoping she'll get the idea. She nods enthusiastically. "Ut skrhuxv! Rro zkm aue g vgs znmox egcg, xaue kigxm!" She gives you a salute, pushes her chair back, and dashes from the room before you can blink.

...Well, now you really hope her guess was correct. You can't be held accountable for actions taken on your behalf based on misinterpretations, right? Right?

Venti gently nudges your hands to the side to take a closer look at your drawing. "Ng, uy yzgnz enc zo yquur uy xgorosgl!" he says cheerfully, as if everything makes sense now. Apparently he agrees with Amber's assessment, whatever it is. You hope that's a good sign.

Meanwhile, the rest of the room looks stunned. "Cun joj she kmgtgs uz zkm zgnz?" Diluc mutters.

"Yaurgkp?" Kaeya smirks, which earns him a glare.

Jean shakes her head in apparent disbelief. "Khegs kny ygc xoknz ykigxm zyxol rkyykb xul g tuygkx." Eula crosses her arms and makes a dissatisfied noise at this statement, though if anything, you think she actually looks a bit pleased.

A few moments later, Amber returns with a flourish - and a large rolled-up scroll half her height, which Lisa is carrying the tail end of. "O jxgkn xau kozai ygc to jkkt lu g vgs?" the librarian smiles.

"Yg xgl yg kc tgi rrkz," Jean says, and Amber nods confidently as the two of them maneuver the scroll onto the table. It's so big that it will have to be unrolled the long way down the table, so you rise from your seat at the end, moving the papers out of the way and positioning yourself along the center for a better view. With a quick wink in your direction, Lisa dramatically pushes the two ends of the scroll apart to reveal-

-something. It's definitely something.

Your brow furrows as you try to make heads or tails of the lines scattered across the paper. You certainly hope it's not art, because you've never been a fan of those abstract pieces. Thankfully, a gloved hand waves in front of your face, and Amber directs your attention to the far right edge of the parchment, pointing to... oh, there's Mondstadt! Your drawing was pretty good, if you do say so yourself.

But more importantly, that's Mondstadt. You give her an excited nod. So this is a map. It just took you a minute to realize it, because you're not used to seeing it in black and white and... ink, instead of the digital colored version with all the the teleport waypoints. Now that you have a starting point, though, you begin to recognize other things as well. Your eyes sweep the map, picking out rivers and islands and other various landmarks. Some features are lacking in comparison - most obviously, there's no clear way to distinguish climate or elevation, so Dragonspine looks the same as Stormterror's Lair other than its location. Other things are more clearly marked; for example, there's a distinct pathway to Windrise, and another path with a little note next to it that you're fairly certain leads directly to Albedo's camp.

Your eyes wander to the other side of the map, and you feel a little thrill when you discover it extends further than the current in-game release. One section appears to have several large bodies of water, and you imagine that's Fontaine, although there's a region further west that has a number of rivers. Unless... unless those are rivers of lava. Hmm. Yeah, you'll be steering clear of Natlan for a while. As for Snezhnaya... well, it's just very big.

Remembering your initial goal, you quickly trace your finger down through what you now recognize as Liyue. Fortunately, the harbor is another thing that's distinctly marked, along with what you assume is some kind of trade route there. You tap your finger on it a couple times before pointing to yourself hopefully, and then back to the map. I need to go there.

Glances are exchanged. You hold your breath as multiple people start speaking at once, and far too quickly for you to even pretend to follow them. You don't think you can make your message much clearer than that, so you don't know what you'll do if they still didn't get it. But then you feel a gentle touch on your arm, and Diluc gives you a firm nod. "Yes," he says simply.

You're going to Liyue.

Them Snapping At Their SO And The Apologies That Come After. Pt. 2

Characters: Kaeya & Yae Miko (separate).

Warnings: Mentions of alcohol, verbal fighting and heavy emotions. With comfort after!

Notes: This is my first time writing for Kaeya, and all I have to say is that he’s very hot and he desperately needs therapy.

Part 1, in case you’re interested, is in (this link!)

To say Kaeya was having a bad day would be an understatement.

He’s a professional man, so he can handle whatever problems he encounters in his line of work quite well, always ready to manage the situation before any problem escalates enough to be a bother for him later on, all the more so before Jean even hears of it.

So after a long (and exceptionally tiring) day of being the renowned Cavalry Captain, he thought he deserved a proper rest, so he headed to Angel’s Share with Rosaria to unwind, like he usually did.

Make it a quick drink, Rosaria had said, and Kaeya nodded. He had a date with you, after all.

It wasn’t a rare occurrence for the both of you to have dates, even after your honeymoon phase had long since ended, but you still enjoyed each other’s company and Kaeya insisted on adding his special touch to all of your meetings, so the two of you always ended up calling it a date and having a wonderful time together.

This one was special, of course. It was your anniversary. So Kaeya promised himself he’d have a quick drink and he’d head home to you.

It had started as a simple discussion, as it often happened whenever Kaeya walked in Angel’s Share and Diluc was behind the counter, serving for another night. To say the two of them had a complicated history would be another understatement, and Kaeya has never been too open about his emotions towards his brother to you, if at all. He liked to keep his secrets.

But the argument with Diluc grew, and soon they were throwing spiteful words at each other over the counter, Kaeya’s drink spilling and Diluc’s face getting redder in anger by the minute. Rosaria was too used to the situation to try and intervene, so she stood aside and let the storm rage and pass on its own, as it often did.

Let’s go to the Cat’s Tail. I’m yet to enjoy having a drink today, Kaeya told Rosaria as he stormed off Angel’s Share, Rosaria following closely behind.

It’s late. You should go home, Rosaria tried to argue back to no use.

Let’s go, Kaeya insisted, and Rosaria wasn’t one to engage in pointless confrontations.

It was well past midnight when you heard the door creak open. At that exact moment you learned three things. One, Kaeya was home very late. Two, by the careless way of him opening the door, he was clearly drunk. And third, he had stood you up on your anniversary to get drunk and arrive home late.

So you walk up to the corridor and switch on the lights, your arms crossed on your chest and resentment boiling inside your chest.

“I hope you have a good excuse.” Your voice is cold as ice.

“I’ve had a terrible day, okay? I apologize for the state I’m in, but— Can we talk about this in the morning?”

“No. We absolutely can’t, Kaeya.” You block his way, feeling every nerve and inch of your skin light on fire. “What were you even doing? Did the thought of me waiting here for you even crossed your mind?”

“You’re always on my mind, my love.” He tries to flirt his way out of the situation, but your stern expression doesn’t flinch even a little, so he sighs. “If you must know, I had an unpleasant encounter with my brother. It’s him you should be blaming, really. He kept me at his bar sputtering nonsense.”

“Kaeya—” You take a deep breath. “You can’t keep doing this. You can’t possibly keep blaming your brother for everything that’s wrong in your life. At some point you’re going to have to take responsibility—”

Kaeya freezes, his eyes growing darker as he frowns, looking down at you with his eyes overflowing with disgust. 

“What do you even know about us, huh? You have no idea of what he did, no idea of what I went through. So don’t talk as if you knew anything!” He raises his voice, sending chills down your spine. He walks up to you with big steps, and somehow he looks bigger, like the anger bubbling in his chest is making him larger, the smell of alcohol stronger the closer he is to you. And for a moment, you’re scared. “You’re too privileged to even phandom what kind of horrors I’ve had to witness, how much pain I’ve had to bear. But then again, you’re not that interested in knowing, are you? After all, your world revolves around you, doesn’t it, darling?” The twist in his voice, from anger to sweet and frivolous makes you sick to your stomach. He’s too close to you, leaning over your face like a predator, and you’re shivering. “We’ll talk in the morning.”

He says, and he stomps to the bedroom, closing the door behind him. You’re left in the corridor, your blood frozen inside your veins. You run past the front door, not looking back.

Kaeya wakes up the next morning with the worst of headaches. He makes it to the kitchen to make himself some breakfast when it hits him. Everything he said last night to you, the look of utter terror written all over your eyes, and he feels positively terrible. He knew he wasn’t a good person, he’s always been painfully aware. But whenever he brought it up half jokingly, you’d hold his face in your hands, fingers in his hair as you tell him, No. You have a good heart, Kaeya. And he never wanted to believe anyone’s words until you arrived.

And now, he’s been a terrible person to you. He’s hurt you deeply, and the worst part is, he can’t excuse his actions and promise he won’t do it again.

So he waits for you to come back, his chest heavy as he cleans the house, scattering his brain to find some words of comfort, of absolution, anything to make you stay. That is, if you ever come back to him. A small, cowardly part of him would understand if you didn’t, though it’d crush his soul into a million pieces.

It’s not until the seventh day that you decide to return. 

Kaeya finds you on the couch, waiting for him. It’s late at night, and Kaeya is afraid of approaching you. Or hurting you again with his words.

So he watches in silence as you turn around, your eyes big and sad all over him.

“You didn’t mean what you said.” 

It’s what leaves your lips, and Kaeya takes a second to gather his thoughts. He takes a big breath.

“I could agree with that. In fact, I should. I should say that I didn’t mean what I said, and that I’m sorry. Would that make us even?” He lets out a weak chuckle, too embarrassed of himself to even look at you as he speaks. “The thing is, I believed myself to be more chivalrous than that. I owe you the truth, at the very least. The ugly truth, if I may add.”

“And what is that ugly truth you fight so hard to always keep to yourself?”

You don’t even sound mad anymore, and that’s what breaks Kaeya’s heart the most. Maybe that’s what pushes him to make his way to you, one step at a time, until he’s right in front of you.

“There are many things I haven’t told you. Some of them because I’m ashamed of them. Most of them because they don’t represent the man that I am anymore.” He says. “All of them because I don’t want you to change the way you look at me. But I supposed I ruined that on my own, didn’t I?”

“Kaeya.” He closes his eyes, his name sounding so achingly familiar coming from your lips. He can almost hear you say, You have a good heart, Kaeya. He feels his fingers trembling. “I love you for who you are. Not for who you’ve been, or for who you are with somebody else that isn’t me. I love you. In the good days and on the bad ones. But you have to stop pushing me away. Please.”

Kaeya sits on the couch by your side, and he swears he might just crumble down when you place your hands on his cheeks, softly brushing the skin that meets you under.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Kaeya says, melts into your touch, his frozen heart melting in your hands, a thousand flowers blooming where you’ve touched him last. “I will tell you everything, but do something for me as well. Don’t change the way you look at me after. It’s a promise.”

I know it’s selfish, but don’t leave me. 

Don’t change the affection in your eyes when you look at me. 

Don’t stop holding me with your small hands. 

Don’t stop smiling like you’re the sun, and all I’ve ever been is the moon that circles you until the end of the universe.

“I won’t. I promise, I won’t.”

You say, and that night, Kaeya discloses all of his demons for you. His monsters and all their angles and shapes, their scars and their hidden memories. You help him through it, your hands gentle on him, leaving butterfly kisses over his cheeks. 

Despite the sorry state of his heart, Kaeya would swear he has never felt happier.

The rain was pouring over the Grand Narukami Shrine. Miko watched the raindrops rush from the heavens to the soil beneath their feet, crashing to the ground and dissolving into tiny puddles of water. How pitiful.

The other Shrine maidens knew better than to speak to the Guuji when she was angry. And she was, oh, she was angry.

They were planning a huge festival, one to lighten up the town and bring joy to the residents of Inazuma. But of course, it had to rain. And of course, they had to leave all the decorations outside of the Shrine, right where the rain is pouring right now. Miko doesn’t think there’s anything useful in those boxes. Not anymore, at least. We’ll have to start over.

It’s no one’s fault it started raining, Miko knows this. Still, she can’t help but feel her blood boiling down her veins. She was looking forward to that festival.

She makes it home to a delicious smell tickling her nose. She finds you in the kitchen, cooking her favorite meal - Fried Tofu, just the way she had taught you how to make it. You can’t really explain why, but you felt the urge to make something today that Miko would especially enjoy. How fortunate of her.

Miko walks up to you, slowly wrapping her arms around your waist, hiding her face in your hair. It smells like home.

“Had a long day, my love?” Your voice comes out gentle, soothing her heart at the sound. 

She nods to your hair, “Unfortunately so. Incredibly gifted as I am, I still happen to not be able to control the weather. This devilish rain has undermined everything I’ve worked for for the past weeks.”

“Hm, if it’s the weather you’re having trouble with, why don’t you ask the Raiden Shogun to dismiss of it?” You say, innocent and gentle in your demeanor. “You’re friends with her, aren’t you? It shouldn’t be too hard for her to do this one thing for you.”

There’s a silence.

Maybe it’s the simple-mindedness in which you said it, maybe it’s the rain drilling on the kitchen window reminding her of her useless efforts, or maybe it’s the fact that yes, she’s friends with the Raiden Shogun, the same Raiden Shogun that hasn’t left her plane of Euthymia for eons, the same friend that didn’t bother to say her goodbyes before disappearing without a word, to this day.

It shouldn’t be too hard for her to do this one thing for you, Miko can almost laugh at the thought. What has the Raiden Shogun done for her, besides push her away with not so much as a word of apology, an explanation?

Maybe it’s the rain outside, or maybe it’s her own kind of storm raging on inside what bites back at you.

“You think it’s that simple, little one? Hah, you must be right.” Miko lets go of you, taking a step back. There’s something in her voice that sounds almost dangerous. You feel your fingers shivering. “Now I have complete certainty that, were I to have a word with my dearest Ei, all the things I worked so hard for won’t be rotting under the rain anymore, isn’t that right? You must think I’m a complete moron for not thinking of this before. Am I wrong, little one?”

You turn to her, and you’re met with lilac eyes sharpening around their edges, piercing you with her stare. You feel a shiver run down your spine.

“I don’t think I understand…” You try, your throat dry. “Did I say something wrong?”

“You must think I’m some kind of fool. And maybe you’re right, hm? Sharing my precious time with lowly humans who can’t even begin to comprehend the endeavor us Yokais must go through in order to live, our efforts often easily discarded. How utterly disheartening.” Miko goes on, her gaze sharp and threatening on yours, her blood boiling with too many unsaid things, things she knows you’re not even a part of. But you’re here, and it’s just so easy to let the words fall down her lips, one after the other. “You speak of the Raiden Shogun as if you knew anything. Your very existence in the first place is but a fleeting moment in our presence. Do yourself a favor, little one, and never speak again if all you have to share are witless words. Ugh, why am I even wasting my time here.”

Miko turns on her heels and leaves the house, leaving you there shaking, tears running down your face, wondering why in the world she would treat you like that.

By the time Miko returns home, her hair and clothes drenched in the rain, her raging heart much calmer now, you’re nowhere to be found.

Miko knows she overstepped and went too far. She dragged you along with her rushing emotions and half-assed accusations, knowing full-well you’re the only one who has been by her side through thick and thin, through her sunny days and her storms inside.

That’s why she’s confident that you’ll return. You’ll cool off and come back home, like she has. And then, she’ll wrap her arms around you, she’ll kiss the shell of your ear and, well, you’ll get the apology, won’t you?

Miko is not surprised when she doesn’t see you on the next day, either. A little annoyed, perhaps. She’s gone over the situation in her head all over again, and again. Every time she remembers her mean words to you, she feels a small stab pain in her chest.

She would apologize, if only you came home to her!

You’re just making this harder for yourself than it needs to be, really.

On the third day, Miko starts growing annoyed. How can she possibly wish to repair things with you if you just won’t come home to her?

And it’s not like she’s going to go out there looking for you. She’s the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine, and as such, she has a great deal of responsibilities to attend to. She can’t just leave all of that and go after you, and you know this. 

She just can’t be that irresponsible.

Or can she?

It’s the fifth day and her bed is starting to feel a little too big for her liking. She once liked to have space for herself, but now it just feels suffocating. 

Why aren’t you coming back? You’re trying to punish her, surely.

Well, Miko won’t play along with your games. She can be just as mad as you are. Let’s see who breaks in first.

On the seventh day, Miko isn’t able to sleep. She’s tossing and turning in her all too big bed, the thought of you plaguing her mind in a way she won’t ever admit out loud. 

When she hears the front door opening, her fox ears fling up. She follows your steps down the corridor, but she makes no move when you sit on the other side of the bed, the mattress sinking under your weight in the darkness of the room.

Miko waits. And waits. And waits for you to say something.

The silence grows deafening in her beautiful pink fox ears. So she swallows her courage and opens her mouth, only a little,

“You’re late.”

Your response came after a big pause, so long that Miko thought you’d never say anything to her again, her heart clenching at the thought.

“I thought of never coming back, actually. I was mad at you.” You sound so tired, Miko feels something small stir inside her chest. “Then, I wasn’t anymore. But I thought you’d be better off without me. As you said, I’m a human. I can’t understand you to the extent that I’d like.” Miko frowns at your words. She almost opens her mouth again to fight you back, when you speak again. “But then I thought of you. I thought of the way you smiled when you dressed me up as a Shrine maiden. I thought of the spark in your eyes when you tell me about the new light novel you’re publishing. And I thought of how you’d probably think that this bed is too big for you alone, if I’m gone.”

That’s why I came back, it’s what you don’t voice, but Miko hears it loud and clear. For you.

There’s a silence that follows, one that Miko doesn’t know how to fill. She’s never been good at apologies.

“I am mad at you.” She says, her back turned to you in the darkness of the room, but she doesn’t sound mad at all in your ears.

You don’t say anything, and Miko feels the bed dipping when you lay next to her. She lets you wrap your arms around her, doesn’t voice how good it feels to be back in your arms. She feels a strange tightness in her chest, her vision growing blurry at the corners; like a kid that’s been lost for too long and is finally able to return home.

How utterly close she’s been to losing that home forever.

Miko turns in your arms, and you let her find her favorite place in the world - tucked under your chin, in the gap between your jaw and your clavicle, all too close to the beating of your heart underneath your skin.

Miko stays there, her ear pressed to your chest, and she’d swear she can hear the sound of windflowers blooming.

“I must apologize, little one. My words came rooted in despair, a fate that I’ve been carrying for longer than I dare to voice.” Her voice comes out muffled by your skin, and you let your fingers lose their way into her silky pink hair, listening to her words. “Still, nothing in me is as deeply rooted as the affection that I hold for you. I trust that you know of this, of course.”

“Of course.” You leave a kiss on the crown of her head, closing your eyes in the motion. “I wouldn’t leave you, Miko. Not now, and probably not ever. I love you too much to let you go.”

“Is that so?” You can hear the smile in her voice. “Hm, then I suppose I shall grant you my love as well. Make good use of it, little one. After all, it’s meant for you only.”

TIL that Barbara's c6 can raise the dead and that in itself has opened a floodgate of morality and complexity and numerous other things that barbara will be subjected to (and hu tao is here for the ride too ig) 《barbtao besties agenda upon ye》 - ☠ necromAnon

Oh, yeah, @pj-was-here brought that up once, and it's got a lot of fun implications to it! :D On one hand I do mostly consider it a game abstraction (alongside characters "dying" at all, since like. in-narrative your teams don't even exist), but on the other hand, I do sometimes consider the game abstractions as narrative elements, and in that context I'm very fond of Barbara doing it once in front of Rosaria and Rosaria, who is a lot cannier as to the ways of the world, immediately telling her that she can never let anyone know she can do that. No, not the other nuns, not the Knights, not even Jean--maybe her father when he gets back, maybe. (Yes, this is the same role I gave Rosaria in the Oceanid AU. It just seems fitting to me somehow.) But I'd never thought of associating her with Hu Tao, and that would be very fun! :D You could throw Baizhu in, too, to turn up the morality-questions tension.

Genshin Impact & Waffle House

In honor of Waffle House trending yet again on Twitter:

Commentary and Lore Below The Cut:

Employee of the Month:

Candace also doubles as the unofficial manager because no one clowns when Candace is in.

Your ass is getting thrown out if you try it and her reputation is absolutely terrifying, so things are kept in relative peace.

Is really the only thing keeping the place running and the staff there sometimes.

Works The Night Shift, Throws Hands:

All of the people in this category will absolutely be down to clown at some point because it is 2 AM in the morning and they are tired, so trying them while on the night shift is a death sentence.

Diluc and Kaeya would fight each other if they're riled up, but if anyone tries it on their shift, they are getting teamed on by them.

Rosaria doesn't do overtime and that includes the night shift. The last time someone got up to something on her shift, their collarbone was shattered.

Shenhe simply being present is enough for most people to not try anything, but just in case, she can not only deflect furniture but throw knives with terrifying accuracy and put someone on life support. If she wasn't working there, she'd be instigating.

Tartaglia is an instigator but on the side of chaotic neutral. Fights are all well and fun, but if anyone messes with his coworkers on the shift, he's catching fades.

Yelan is mostly there because it's the only time she's awake; her coworkers swear that she gets off on the thrill somehow. Will occasionally participate in a beatdown if there's a need for more numbers.

Works The Day Shift, Can Mostly Throw Hands:

These people aren't weak by any means, but most of the clownery happens at night. They will get to stepping if it comes to that though.

Amber is one of the nicest people there, to be honest. Customers love it when it's her shift. Firm enough to not really have to resort to hands.

Itto is a big guy so people don't usually do anything. He tries to keep the peace while not escalating to violence but if the occasion calls for it though, he has his coworker's back.

Diona is a little girl, but she is a fighter. Putting her in this category because she has the experience and can break the new hires in.

Kazuha is a peaceable guy, really laid back and stuff like that, but some customers are still telling the tale of how he laid a guy out twice his size after he tried to rob the establishment.

Shinobu takes no shit, but I feel as if she'd be too busy at night to take that shift. Will clown a man if they try it.

Jean is great, friendly, and sociable. Treats the customers well and people don't like starting stuff when she's around. She also doubles as a sort of manager for the day shift.

Noelle isn't crazy enough to do the night shift, but everyone has the mind to be respectful of the petite girl who can benchpress ten grown men and rip off the counter with ease.

Xiangling is the cook. Customers go there for her food specifically. Anyone who tries it with her will be tried by the customers on her behalf.

Bystander, Can Throw Hands If Needed:

These individuals are customers, but will absolutely join the fray if they have to or feel the need to do so.

Aloy goes there on occasion and treats the staff with the proper respect. Will call out anyone not doing the same and will come to blows.

I debated putting Eula in the instigator section, but she doesn't instigate, others feel instigated in her presence and that's their problem. She will not tolerate others clowning on staff that actually treat her well and as such will go to the bat for them.

Ganyu doesn't look like it, but if you read some of her voice lines, you will understand how she can get worked up enough to throw hands. She's also a war veteran, so you know she wouldn't hesitate.

Thoma ran the fade for the criminal offense of scamming. Think of what he'd do to someone acting a fool when he's trying to eat his meal in peace.

Tighnari doesn't take shit, and this includes at Waffle House. Might not be able to clown, but he can tank it to shield someone else.

Eats There Regularly, Unbothered:

Albedo does not give a fuck about anything that happens as long as he gets to eat and leave. He's so quiet that people don't even notice he's there until he gets up to leave.

No one is stupid enough to do anything when Beidou is eating her meal. No one dares. The last person who did was put in a full-body cast.

Sleep-Walking Layla would go during the night shift and revel in the atmosphere, which is either giving empty or giving WWE. Layla has no idea why she tastes shitty coffee on her breath the next day.

Before you say Ningguang is too classy for Waffle House, consider that she would pretty much loiter at the place back in the day. She's more than used to the fighting in the background as she eats her grits.

Qiqi wouldn't process the body getting thrown through the window or the people screaming about a heroin addict with a gun in the background as she sips at her cold chocolate milk.

Venti and Zhongli would eat at Waffle House to catch up on old times. The old men watch the fights as free entertainment as they have nothing to do.

Caught In The Crossfire, Innocent:

These people are the victims of this tier list. They asked for nothing but a good meal and they got pain instead. You can feel bad for them.

Bennett is a given. Not only does his food go flying, but he does as well. Occasionally used as a human shield as he weights as much as a sack of potatoes.

Fischl and Razor went to Waffle House with Bennett, but someone grabbed Razor's hashbrowns and used them as a projectile and Fischl got a mug to the face.

Mona would inadvertently get beaten up for being mistaken for someone else or talking some mad shit and getting in the middle of it.

Sayu was thrown as a projectile at someone while she was asleep.

Sucrose was sleep-deprived and as such, did not process the things thrown at her or the chair that landed next to her.

Xinyan and Yun Jin went to crash there after a concert and it was at the wrong time. Xinyan gets some licks in though!

Yoimiya is deft enough to dodge most of the stuff flying everywhere, but she doesn't enjoy the circumstance. So perhaps she's a victim emotionally.

Records the Fights for The Memes™:

The title speaks for itself, but this is for the people that are filming the entire thing for either the laughs or their own entertainment.

Dori is going to upload this to her YouTube channel as a part of a meme compilation or some commentary, all while plugging her sponsors.

Hu Tao is recording this for advertising purposes: "It's better to get a coffin and arrange your funeral now because your life could be served up like this knuckle sandwich!"

Xingqiu is using this not only for the memes, but for inspiration for fight scenes and I say this because I have unironically done this more than once.

Instigator, Unintentional or Otherwise:

Instigators can either be considered people on absolute crack (literally or figuratively), general threats to the public, absolute dicks, or just being themselves.

Chongyun went with Xingqiu and got too fired up and then proceeded to pick a fight with someone, causing a litany of property damage. Xingqiu recorded the entire thing.

Klee casually pulled out a bomb that could level the entire block and started to play with it as a toy. Naturally, everyone in the restaurant and the general vicinity ran for their fucking lives.

Ei and Shenhe could not understand each other as they were talking, so instead of using their words, they used a spatula and a knife respectively. It got so insane that the video of it posted is one of the most regarded in the Waffle House fights genre.

Scaramouche would talk some mad shit and then get pissed when he got called out. So to save face, he swung at someone in the night shift crew. He has not come back since. If he wasn't instigating, he could work there.

Xiao would instigate with another customer in the establishment and it would carry over to the staff having to get involved. It could be argued that the customer was instigating him, but no one knows.

Yae Miko would start talking some mad shit and then somehow worm her way out of it and make herself look innocent. Mostly starts the fights.

Law Enforcement, Called After It's Done:

They are the people that are called as there are fights. Everyone usually scatters afterward, but on the occasion that there are stranglers, they catch them.

Cyno is a given. He will absolutely get involved and break it up if he sees it. He does not care what started it for whatever reason because that's not his job.

Gorou is a bit nicer in this regard and tries to get to the bottom of it, but make no mistake of him being soft because the bark has a bite.

He only comes in when there's some really suspicious activity around the fight at the Waffle House or in the surrounding area. Otherwise frequents Waffle House when Kazuha is on shift.

Keqing is getting really tired of being called up to that place. She's debating transferring somewhere else if only to avoid having to do this every time she's there.

When they say that Sara's there, everyone runs. They don't want to get on her record and they are afraid of her. She's the one that actually tries to get it to stop and the staff really appreciates it.

Yanfei isn't law enforcement per se, but is the legal assistance and mediator of a good chunk of conflicts. She is graciously paid with free food on the house.

Would Not Go At All:

The title says it all.

Aether and Lumine know better than to pick a fight with that place.

Barbara is too innocent, even for the crossfire.

Why would I wish that on Collei?

Faruzan would either Karen out or start getting a body count and I don't know if Waffle House would maintain the peace with her in the building.

The Kamisatos are better than that.

There's no question as to if she would have a body count or not, but Lisa is too tired for that shit.

Nahida prefers IHOP.

Nilou is peaceable and would actually be a good employee there, but she really likes what she has now and doesn't want to deal with that negativity.

Kokomi came up with a battle plan and five different strategies to fight off and take down the Waffle House staff for fun once. Unfortunately, the police were called and she is now under investigation for domestic terrorism. Understandably banned until further notice.

mondstadt character hcs! part one

*see how venti has one finger up im so clever for picking this gif*

basically how they think of each other and crap, i didnt listen to the voicelines so this is definitely not uh canon compliant? this will include npcs!

CONTENT WARNING: swearing since diona and rosaria exist

VENTI AND ROSARIA

the aunties that don't talk to each other for like, fifteen years and they randomly meet each other at the mall and start talking while they leave you in the middle of the electronics store.

they're wine aunts who give bad advice and hand-me-downs to you

they used to babysit kids but had to stop because of a warning from jean

venti gets so drunk that sometimes rosaria takes him to her quarters in the church

venti will randomly sing at the tavern and he always manages to get rosaria to play the lyre for him while he sings

they have nicknames for each other

"bard boy" and "catwoman"

rosaria doesn't quite understand the reference but venti giggles to himself and thinks of batman theme songs ✪ ω ✪

rosaria = instigator of drama

venti = doer of drama

rosaria will always update venti on church drama

"hey bard boy, have i told you about sister rosette cheating on her boyfriend with eury's husband?"

"that's awful, is eury doing alright?"

"she already had the divorce papers"

"wow, how awful is her husband?"

"just bitchy enough for me to dislike him as well"

"language, catwoman!"

"😒"

"but i do have to say, the erotic undertones of the situation make for an incredible song! shall i write a ballad 'bout this scandal?"

"yes."

DONNA AND DILUC

"all i can think about is diluc!" x "who?" i am DEFENDING DONNA WITH MY LIFE do not hate on her on my watch (╬▔皿▔)╯

donna was definitely writing in her diary about the darknight hero after she met him, but she knew that a mysterious figure like him wouldn't be easy to talk to....

so i know in my soul that this madwoman decided to investigate

diluc knows that someone is investigating him and he's trying to work out whether or not kaeya went back on his 'promise' to keep it a secret, but he hasn't ruled out the girls who are into him.

donna DEF has those detective novels and basically gained inspo from there for her investigation, she also has those boards where you connect pictures with yarn and shit.

she's definitely aware that something is up with the wine tycoon man, but she still hasn't gotten to that point so diluc is listed in her suspects list....

meanwhile diluc is still working out who could possibly be looking into him... the fatui? the harbinger he met in snezhnaya four years ago? could it just be kaeya's ass snooping around? or was it diona trying to kill him again?

donna's wannabe detective moments end when she starts to get bored of darknight hero and starts simping for diluc once again

(i just find donna x diluc so funny but i also rlly want them to interact FOR REALISES💀✋)

JEAN AND KAEYA

wlw and mlm hostility. THEY'RE SO FAKE TO EACH OTHER I JUST KNOW IT...

the passive-aggressive energy that enters everyone's bodies the nanosecond these two see each other.

"hello jean."

"good to see you too."

*silence as amber enters the room and awkwardly scrapes the chair across so she can sit*

"what'd i miss?"

i know in my soul that whenever jean's on a mission, kaeya sneaks into her office and sits on her chair for the ego boost

everytime kaeya leaves the room, jean rolls her eyes def

kaeya used to steal her food at work but varka told him off so he only steals her hairpins now

sometimes jean, amber and eula go out for church but every single time, kaeya manages to crash the outings.

"oh how lovely, there was a church session and nobody invited me? how cruel of you girls..."

"barbatos give me patience"

of course, they don't hate each other. jean and kaeya are friends and only playfully act mean to each other. but sometimes jean wants to throw him off the church's towers and sometimes kaeya wakes up everyday and decides to piss everyone off because of his daddy issues.

DIONA AND BARBARA

i hc that diluc gets barbara to babysit diona since he knows that diona doesn't have many responsible guardians in her life... sad

"diona, mr draff said that you need to do your homework D:"

"tell that old man i dont give a crap!"

"diona! if you keep cussing like this, i'm going to–"

"that old man? huh! daddy can't do anything about it because his oldass has been drunk all morning! i'm gonna go bomb the wine industry with klee, can't stop me!"

"hey! hey! klee's grounded, come back here!"

diona bullies barbara whenever she babysits and barbara is on her last nerve

they do get along whenever barbara gets her to scrapbook, she even gets klee over so diona behaves for once.

"d'you think i drew margaret right, diona?"

"uh, klee... i dunno how to tell you this but that looks like a garbage can."

"you're right! is it a good garbage can though?"

"ah, girls! don't speak ill of miss margaret..."

"all that lady does is drink, barbara!"

"juice?"

"wine, klee."

"oh jeez."

sometimes barbara finds herself breaking down from all the pressure while she babysits and diona begrudgingly comforts her, telling her that she shouldn't let anyone make her do things she doesn't want to.

diona even offers to beat up her stalkers, to which barbara quickly decines.

diona does it anyway.

SUCROSE AND AMBER

i hc that amber has a rock collection and that she once helped sucrose collect bones unknowingly and that's why sucrose admires her so much i also hc that amber is amazing at stitching and just makes people clothes when she has nothing to do

sucrose is really awkward during meetings at the knights, so amber always helps translate her words whenever she tries to speak up.

which is why they always sit next to each other during meetings!

sucrose sends amber random rocks she finds and amber greatly appreciates it.

sucrose is pretty dang good at art as well since albedo's art studies was so easy for her to grasp, so she sometimes asks amber to give her things to draw.

amber sometimes stitches sucrose socks or leg warmers whenever she has time

they're not the closest of friends but amber considers her a good friend.

MONA AND ADELINDE

i hc that when mona finally settled down in mondstadt, she met adelinde while buying groceries and they became friends mona likes to tell her about alll the predictions she has for people in town

"adeline, dear, i bought a new scryglass this afternoon and i do believe sir diluc's fate has become much more clearer."

"please, please, please let the young master have a good love life..."

"ah shit–! excuse my manners, adelinde, i think i must've seen something i shouldn't..."

"what? what is it?"

"it's the young master... in carnal embrace."

"...excuse me?"

"twice..."

"what"

"once with a young woman he met in snezhnaya and another with a fatuus."

"..."

"..."

"i would like to see kaeya's love life."

"let's hope it isn't something so promiscuous."

can you tell that i love being nosy

⋆⛧┈┈┈┈﹤୨♡୧﹥ ┈┈┈┈⛧⋆

if this post gets seen by anyone, you can drop ur reqs down there, i would prefer platonic pairings instead of ships ◑﹏◐ (i do ship kaebedo and fischl x noelle so those pairs will be included somehow lolsss)

Chaotic things I’ve done that I think Genshin characters would do

Got shitfaced of a empty stomach. Ate two bowls of rice and then drank even more after a nap.“My stomach hurts. Can I have toast?” Proceeds to argue with their dog while eating the toast, finishes it in like 10 minutes only to throw it up 5 minutes later. “My toast! My fucking toast is gone!”

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Yelan, Shenhe, Rosaria, Jean, Nobara, Miwa, and Maki reacting to their S/O's terrible cooking

Genshin Impact and Jujutsu Kaisen characters

No one requested this, I just needed to write suffering (AKA my cooking)

Yelan's tastebuds are near ruined thanks to her favorite food being extremely spicy.

So she's able to eat a lot of varied things and have it taste bland.

Her S/O's dish on the other hand got her to feel something.

And it wasn't good.

At all.

She politely pushes it away before clearing her throat.

(S/O) "I...I think I can taste the love...A little too much, actually. Dinner on me tonight?"

Shenhe simply stares at the food after getting a spoonful.

Luckily for her S/O, she is used to this kind of taste thanks to eating nothing but bitter herbs during her training.

(S/O) "I-Is it good?"

(Shenhe) "...No."

Her blunt words are like a dagger through S/O's heart, but they know it isn't out of malice.

Shenhe wants to help cook next time, but not for her sake. For S/O's sake to avoid eating their own food.

Rosaria's face scrunches up instinctively as she reluctantly swallows the """food""".

Her first instinct is to throw the abomination away, but that's a bit overkill. Not to mention it was S/O cooking it.

Instead she simply gives her S/O a shaking head as the response.

(Rosaria) "Need some help in the kitchen? I can turn a mean fowl into good meal."

She then teaches them how to make her specialty, the "Dinner of Judgement".

Jean's eyes shoot wide open in surprise as the spoon goes into her mouth.

Wow, this was...not great.

She chooses her next words carefully to avoid hurting their feelings.

(Jean) "I...thank you for being thoughtful, S/O."

As soon as she gets some free time, she wants to see S/O cook firsthand to help them out.

(Nobara) "BLEAH?! Hah, wow! This tastes like crap!"

She doesn't hold back her words in the slightest.

Though Nobara feels slightly bad for how she phrased it seeing her S/O sulk after giving her thoughts.

Though she immediately tries to cheer them up.

(Nobara) "Oh, how about we go around Tokyo and find some dishes everyone's eating! We can get ya to practice that way!"

Miwa can already tell the food is inedible just by looking at it.

She has first hand experience after making dishes for her little brothers.

But being the sweet soul she is, she tries anyway.

The color begins to drain from her face as she waves it off.

(Miwa) "Heh it um...could use a bit more time in the oven."

After recovering from near death, she is eager to get S/O behind the stove so they can cook together!

Maki doesn't exactly have a healthy food habit since she absolutely loves junk food.

But she's still able to recognize horrific cooking when she unfortunately has to taste it.

And this dish came from S/O, which made it doubly insulting.

(Maki) "Agh! What did you put in this?!"

Maki is extremely harsh with her criticism, but tries to provide advice on what she can.

She offers them a bag of potato chips as consolation.

In order: P, Y, P, F, P, P

^_^

*squints* I think I see what you're doing here.... TBH this was a little delayed just because when I think of a random AU I tend to throw it onto Tumblr immediately, so I had to wait until new ones occurred to me. XD;;

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

Eula and Jean, role reversal. Not their backstories or families, but their positions in the Knights--possibly this AU is kicked off by some Lawrences conspiring with Eroch and Eula catching wind of it, and so she goes to Varka about the time he’s looking for someone to assign the investigation, and he sees it as a way to demonstrate her loyalty to Mondstadt. So she successfully roots out Eroch and his supporters and becomes Master of Knights, while Jean takes the captaincy of the Reconnaissance Company when it goes empty because someone has to do it, and then Varka assigns Eula as Acting Grand Master when he leaves. And while the Eroch investigation shored up Eula’s bona fides within the Knights, she’s still facing a lot of the resistance from Mondstadt’s civilian populace--that’s what’s interesting to me about this--and so the pressure the Fatui are exerting about the Knights not handling Dvalin at the start of the game is turned up so much higher.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

Right now, probably the big ones are The Locked Tomb (glad folks are having fun! this one is especially fascinating to follow from the outside, so to speak, because I was a megafan of the author's Homestuck fanfic) and various Dimension 20 games? The Witcher was another big one for a while. And there's one person on my dash who's keeping me updated on the What We Do In The Shadows TV show entirely via gifsets.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

Inspired by spoilers for Ballads and Brews: Andrius adopts Rosaria along with Razor, so she’s even more his brother. XD I’m thinking the bandits who took her from her village stumble into Wolvendom and run afoul of the wolves, and so Andrius ends up with two feral children at once. TBH given Rosaria’s existing Vision story, if the bandits run into the wolves when she’s very young she can easily just share Razor’s--the pack dies trying to save both of them from an Abyss mage, she still loses a quasi-parental figure in whichever were the parent wolves--or if they run into them much later, her bandit not-really-father dies defending her from the wolves.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

If primarily roleplaying OCs counts as being in a fandom, probably Dragonriders of Pern, which I've been RPing in since, uh... I first got Internet access in 1999, and I found the first RP forums probably a year after that.... Otherwise, if we're talking purely about reading/writing fic, probably Avatar: The Last Airbender, which I first read fic for shortly after it came out back in 2005, and last read fic for just last week.

No, wait, going by those standards, I was reading Star Trek novels as far back as 1995 at least, since I remember boxing some up for that move, and I was reading a Star Trek fic yesterday. XD Star Trek wins!

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

The AU, and I’m not sure if this is Ei/Sara, or Ei/Yae and Sara/Makoto, where Makoto doesn’t die. Which could go a lot of interesting ways for a lot of different characters and points of focus, but as the first sentence suggests, I am thinking about it from a Sara POV. As one of the Shogun’s foremost generals she is very aware that her Shogun seems to have two modes of being with differing behavior to fit each, and she is embarrassingly attracted to the Shogun in one of those modes, while not quite sure why the other mode does nothing for her (or why, in the other mode, she keeps getting subtle nudges encouraging her interest). Yae meanwhile is inevitably in the background laughing her ass off and sowing additional chaos.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

...The one where Lisa doesn’t give up on her research and academic drive, just on the Academiya itself, and ends up acquiring a rich patron willing to provide her with a workspace, assistants, and funding, so long as these lines of research bear certain fruit. Which is to say, Lisa as Ningguang’s secret weapon, because I just persistently love the idea of those two in the same room.

[three-fourths-anonymous]

nightly routine

Okay so I know I said I was gonna be absent but we aren’t on the boat yet so i thought it’s the perfect time to post my first fic on this site. Have fun :)

Just a lil Genshin one shot, told in Rosaria’s perspective. (ROSAJEAN NATION WHERE ARE YOUUUU)

(tw for vomiting mention, gore out the wazoo, blood, etc)

there’s blood dripping down her shoulders, off her hips. she can feel it slide down her legs. the sticky substance is undoubtedly matted into her hair, and probably will be for days to come. A drop rolls off her chin. rosaria can see it on her hands. it’s beneath her, too, coating the soft fabric of a couch she’s come to know very well.

jean’s really going to hate her for this.

    the smell makes her sick. she can taste the metal in the air. if her stomach could turn any more, it most definitely would. it’s a miracle she’s not puking her guts up currently. 

it doesn’t exactly help that there’s a gaping hole in her abdomen, and throwing up would prove to be rather difficult.

it especially doesn’t help that rosaria hates throwing up and would rather bleed to death any day than so much as spit up a trickle of bile.

all in all, she’s relatively screwed.

    if she can just make it a little longer, jean will be here. she’ll fix her up and then they’ll go back to ignoring each other. maybe she’ll get lucky and her stomach will settle down soon. maybe she’ll get lucky and jean won’t forget she exists.

then again, rosaria’s never been an optimist.

    the nauseating stench of blood still fills the room. she feels ready to puke at any moment. the sensation makes her skin crawl. the pain really doesn’t do much for her either, seeing as that makes her feel sick too. it makes her wish jean were here. she’s not afraid of vomit or eye contact or any of the things rosaria finds absolutely terrifying. 

she’s always been there for her, no matter what. it’s hard not to wish for her presence.

    “i don’t necessarily enjoy seeing you this way.” jean’s voice cuts through her rising nausea and anxiety. Her eyes snap open, meeting the sharp gaze of the acting grandmaster. 

rosaria grins. “you have a very comfortable couch.” jean snorts, but there’s a trace of aggression. she’s mad, of course, like she always is when rosaria comes to her half dead. she really can’t blame her lover for being so upset; it must be rather frustrating. but all she can think of is that now she’s not alone.

    for someone who’s spent her life in relative solitude, rosaria loathes the absence of others. people keep her grounded. they remind her that, as much as she feels it, she’s not completely isolated. and jean made her comfortable with the presence of someone.

it’s honestly too bad that their relationship barely exists.

    they chose to keep the whole affair a secret. it was easier that way, to preserve jean’s reputation and to keep rosaria away from any more judgment than necessary. but jean’s reputation is more pride than anything, and rosaria’s always going to be criticized for something. 

    “so what’d you do this time?” jean’s wrapping a towel around her hand, using the other one to gingerly lift rosaria’s bloodstained shirt out of the way. she sucks in a breath, tensing. she hates the pressure part. it almost always makes her throw up. “i just had some intel on someone, and we had a nice duel.” 

she snorts. “how cryptic of you.” the fabric’s pressed against her stomach, hard. pain blooms in her torso, and it takes every ounce of restraint she has not to writhe away from the touch. 

    “nice duel, huh? how’d you end up with this then?” it’s hard to focus on jean’s voice through the agonizing throbbing that’s taken over her abdomen, but she manages to make it out.

“he got to my blindside before i got to his.” she practically has to grit the words out, but keeps her tone neutral. it’s said rather nonchalantly, as if collapsing in her girlfriend’s office with a sizeable stab wound is normal. which it is, really.

jean sighs, pushing down a little harder. rosaria’s a little too nauseous to truly notice the intensifying pain. “how many times have i told you to pin up your bangs before you go out for the night? you wouldn’t have this issue if they were out of the way.”

    “i didn’t think about it.” she swallows, praying that venti is actually capable of something and he’ll spare her from choking up her intestines, at least for tonight.

jean rolls her eyes. “you never think about it. you know, we wouldn’t have this problem if you used just the slightest bit of rationality.”

“i’m sorry.” the words are the faintest whisper, all rosaria can say without spitting a wave of bile onto her lover’s floor. Her eyes flutter closed, and she realizes how horrendously tired she is. it’s silent after that, save for a soft breath from jean.

    gentle hands pull her away from the desecrated couch beneath her, shifting her to lean on the armrest. cool fingers brush tangled bangs behind her ear, and she’s finally able to open her eyes. “don’t fall asleep just yet. i have to wrap this thing.” jean’s voice is soft as she envelops her in warm, damp bandages. rosaria’s eyes drift to the window. it’ll be morning soon, and she’ll have to leave. although how she’s going to achieve that is beyond her, she knows she can’t stay here. someone could walk in, and their little secret would be ruined. so, as always, they’ll forget the other exists by noon. they’ll go about living their separate lives that don’t include each other until she gets hurt again and then the cycle will start all over again. 

    sometimes- just occasionally- she’ll let her guard down on purpose. sometimes, she’ll allow herself to be injured in ways someone like her is much too agile to get. sometimes, she’ll crawl the extra two miles to jean’s office instead of collapsing in the much closer shelter of her apartment. sometimes, she almost kills herself with antics like these.

all for a few more moments with the woman she loves. 

if she’s not fatally injured, rosaria barely exists to jean. the only times they ever see each other is on nights like these, when things go south on one of her missions. 

other than that, they mean nothing to the other. it always stings a bit.

    “alright, you can get some sleep now. but i swear to barbatos, if you rip these bandages i’m murdering you.” jean presses a kiss to her temple. she smiles. 

“challenge accepted.” she’s thrown the bloody towel, but it misses horribly. She sighs, closing her eyes. maybe she’ll be able to rest a little now that the scent of blood isn’t as strong.

rosaria looks to her lover again. she’ll have to leave soon. she’d really rather not.

    but, of course, she has to. “wake me up when it’s time to go, okay?” there’s no way she’ll be able to make it out the door like this. rosaria hopes that, maybe just for today, she could stay. that maybe this will be different than all their other meetings. 

if only for today.

    jean sighs. “you’re not getting home like that.” 

“so what do you suggest?” maybe, if only for a day. 

it’s silent for a moment. “you’re right. i’ll wake you up in a few.”

    it was childish of her to think things would change.

besides, she’ll get hurt again. she’ll see jean again. she’ll start the cycle again.

she always does.

author’s note:

holy sheep i never thought i’d finish this! it was a lot of fun, but ending it was haaaaard. i was so sadly unmotivated and confuzzled. still, i persevered for my favorite lesbians and i think it paid off! it’s pretty long, too, so i’m proud of myself there. finally some decent trucking whump too, super accurate and everything. and ngl i had so much fun with this, so that’s what matters.

hope you enjoyed this meltdown, and all my other mental breakdowns to come. :)

Ok so since Halloween is tomorrow I'mma put some spoopy headcanons for the 4 nations so far here in Teyvat.

Mondstadt:

The Knights of Favonius throw a Halloween party, excluding pumpkin decorations and jack-o-lanterns because Lisa.

Speaking of Lisa, she and Jean give kids some candy. Jean gives out more healthier options, but Lisa occasionally secretly slips in some sweet caramel candy.

Bennett, Razor and Fischl go trick-or-treating. Bennett is dressed up as a zombie, Razor is dressed up as a wolf cub, and Fischl is dressed up as a goth princess. Oz also tags along, and Fischl put a small crown on his head.

Eula and Amber walked around Mondstadt to admire the decorations and everyone's costumes. Someone tried to playfully scare Eula, and Amber had to hold her back before she laid vengeance.

Albedo and Klee both decorated Dragonspine to make it look spooky. Also, Klee is dressed as a ghost and Albedo is dressed as Frankenstein's monster. Sucrose joins, and she is dressed up as a mad scientist.

Kaeya goes to the Dawn Winery not to trick-or-treat nor to jumpscare anyone, but to find Diluc and give him his favorite candy.

Barbara sings some cute Halloween songs and dances. Rosaria, to her dismay, had to watch. In the end, she sticks to her duties to protect Mondstadt, now with the help of the spooky atmosphere to better disguise her.

Mona ends up saving enough Mora to buy a costume. She took inspiration from her Mirage during the summer and her costume is that of the stars.

Venti looks over Mondstadt and sees how lively and festive it looks. He then summons a gentle, chilly breeze that adds to the atmosphere.

Liyue:

Chongyun finds this holiday as an opportunity to exorcise any demons. Unfortunately, Xingqiu intervenes and jumpscares him.

Xiangling cooks food for a Halloween feast. She even makes candy for the kids.

Ganyu, Keqing, and Ningguang help to host a Halloween festival filled with lights. The moon provides perfect lighting and the jack-o-lanterns add on to it. If one were to look from the Jade Chamber, they would see little specks of orange light scattered around Liyue Harbor.

Xiao still maintains his duties as a Yaksha, so he helps protect the kids and anyone from any danger. Occasionally, the kids give him candy as a thanks. He eats the candy along with his Almond Tofu.

Cloud Retainer tells Shenhe about the holiday and how humans celebrate it. With her help, Shenhe makes a costume, and sews in the red ropes to not only suppress her curse, but to also make it look stylish.

Yelan looks for thieves that stole kids' candy. She deals with them accordingly, and returns the stolen goods to the children.

Instead of giving everyone candy, Yanfei gives everyone a copy of a law book she studied.

Childe, alongside with Teucer, dress up together and they camp out in Huaguang Stone Forest.

Yunjin and Xinyan both put on a Halloween performance, and everyone cheers as Xinyan rocks out while Yunjin dances gracefully.

Like in my last post, Hu Tao introduces a Halloween discount for the Funeral Parlor. She also dresses up as the Grim Reaper and jumpscares anyone passing by, and then she tells them about the discount. Unfortunately, Qiqi happened to pass by, and Hu Tao chases her.

Beidou and the Crux fleet celebrate and they drunk to their hearts' delight. Like what happened in Lantern Rite, she sees Ningguang dressed up in gold, and she is in awe.

Zhongli calmly sips on tea and smiles, knowing that Liyue is in good hands this spooky season.

Inazuma:

Ayato and Ayaka have sibling costumes they wear every year. Ayato shares his candy with her.

Thoma dressed up as a maid, but instead of cleaning, he ends up celebrating with the Kamisatos.

Yoimiya makes custom Halloween fireworks and sets them off in the night, the moon adding it's beauty to the scene.

Kazuha watches from a distance, and smiles while writing haunting poetry.

Sayu takes refuge in a bush near the woods, and sleeps there until the next morning.

The Arataki Gang trick-or-treat in Inazuma city, and they tried to toilet-paper the Police Station. Fortunately, Kuki Shinobu stopped them, and disciplined Itto.

Heizou set up a spooky mystery scene and invited Sara to join. She guessed the clues correctly 5 times.

Kokomi and Gorou decorated Watatsumi Island with many assorted lights and lanterns. Kokomi also dressed up as a mermaid.

Miko watches over Inazuma City from the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Alongside Miko, Ei looks down at the city, smiling while chewing on some candy and Tricolor Dango.

Sumeru:

Collei and Tighnari decorated the forest and invited the Rangers to a spooky walk. Ghost decorations fluttered in the wind as the Rangers ooh'd and ahh'd at the amazing work Tighnari and Collei did.

Cyno looks after the Akademiya students, but now by continously telling Candy Corn-y Halloween jokes.

Nilou dressed up in dark robes and performed a haunting dance to all of Sumeru City. Dehya watched and smiled happily.

Candace gives candy to all the children in Aaru Village.

The Aranara also celebrate Halloween, and they all are dressed up in small costumes.

Nahida, perched on a tree, watches over Sumeru. She happily munches on candy.

Happy Halloween to all my Travelers! 🎃🧡
