Hi I want to request a hickey prank on

(Hu tao, ei, miko, shenhe) fem reader please thanks!

Hickey Prank

Fandom: Genshin Impact

Characters: Hu Tao, Ei, Yae Miko, Shenhe

Pairings: Fem!Reader x ^above characters

Warnings: lots of implied nsfw but nothing explicit (under the cut just in case), possessive behavior, Shenhe is homicidal and kills a lot of monsters and then you kiss on a mountain (spoilers), branding with electricity (spoilers pt.2)

Word count: 1.7k

Synopsis: this is a brilliant idea where nothing could possibly go wrong.

Hu Tao:

You thought you could get back at her for all the pranks she’d played on you? What a silly notion. Hu Tao immediately saw right through your pathetic attempt and decided to answer your little gimmick with an overwhelming reaction. It was like you lit a small match and she responded with an explosion of fire.

Hu Tao pushes you into your room and tells you to get on the bed. You try again to tell her it was a prank, that these hickies aren't real but are only met with a harsh laugh.

Of course they are. She's known all along. She knew it the moment you stepped into her office at the parlor. She knew it when she wrapped her own hand around your throat, squeezing the sides until your pathetic attempts to stop her were just you sluggishly flailing in her grasp, and she was sure you had dark spots dancing in your vision. And she knew it when she dragged you through the streets, people looking at you in pity as the queen of the dead was about to make you one of her undead subjects.

Now you're home and she's going to the locked box in the closet, quickly opening it up with her skeleton key and fishing out things that are too well made to be considered "just toys."

When she turns back you feel a ball of lead settle on your stomach. She's really serious. A deadly thing. The regret you feel now is nothing compared to what you’ll feel by the end of this.

Hu Tao wipes away the fake hickies you made on your neck and quickly moves to replace them with some real ones of her own. The frantic way she sucks and bites. Some of them are barely visibly pink, but most of them are already turning purple. Your voice betrays you as you squeak and moan at the rough attention. Your girlfriend pinches you everytime you make a sound. This is a punishment. You’re not supposed to be enjoying this. But you’re a pain slut so Hu Tao supposes it can’t be helped.

You both fall onto the bed when the back of your legs hit the end of it. She’s already ripping off your pants and shirt. The sound of tearing fabric has you curling back, trying to hide yourself to no avail. She’ll expose you and every one of your sins. She’s going to mark you up and down so no matter what, even when no one is looking, you’ll constantly feel the controlling grip she has on you.

You belong to her.

There’s no escape from that.

Ei:

She has a perfect memory, so she knows for certain that those bruises didn’t come from her. You haven’t been outside of the city. She’d know if you got hurt by someone inside. Any reports of such an incident would go straight to her and the perpetrator would be dealt with swiftly.

She doesn’t hesitate to ask you directly where you got those marks. You better be careful how you answer. Give her a name and someone’s home may catch fire from a sudden lighting strike. Avoid the question and she’ll pout until you give her a proper answer, even going so far as to kick you out Euthymia, making you sit with the cold and silent shogun puppet until you’re ready to tell her the truth.

When the truth does eventually come out Ei will give you a disapproving look and with a scowl tell you that you shouldn’t be playing tricks on your lover.

You do your best to apologize with puppy eyes and a promise to do whatever she wants for the rest of the day.

Ei hums, her immediate thought is to make you go buy her some sweets, but then a thought dawns on her. Humans see hickies as marks of possession. If you’re so concerned about people seeing them, including her, so much so that you’d go so far as to pull a prank, then surely you must want her to give you some markings of her own.

She decides to carve the same electro symbol on the back of her neck onto yours. You aren’t prepared for the intense wave of electricity to burn through your skin. You pass out from the pain and wake up about thirty seconds later with a far more permanent sign of ownership than any hickey.

Ei promptly then sends you on your way to go out and buy her some sweets and dango milk.

People see the purple bruises and creeping red lines on your neck and while some look worried, others are clearly envious of such clear branding from the archon. You’re her chosen lover after all. And now everyone can see it, plain and clear.

You return to the palace and Ei quickly comes out of her mindscape to partake in her apology gifts.

She’s been feeling thrilled since imbuing her mark upon you. She has you sit in her lap as she feeds you small bites of her requested offerings, you lean into her touch.

Ei loves you fiercely. This mark of her power is proof of that.

Now you can never leave her.

Now you will always belong to her.

Yae Miko:

If you’re so okay with flaunting another woman’s hickies on your neck, then you’ll love walking around with Miko’s marks on you.

Your legs are wobbly and you can barely stand. You, very sorely, regret having tried to pull a prank like that on Yae. She’s always said that you should tell her if anyone dares lay a finger on you. She’s always made sure to leave little gifts on places where she knows you can’t hide them.

Now it looks like you’ve just barely survived an encounter with wolves. Enormous bite marks and bruises litter your neck, shoulders, chest, thighs. They’re everywhere.

When you woke up this morning, you gasped at the sight of them all in the mirror.

If you look closely, you can still see the tiny bruises you gave yourself the other day for the prank, but they’re completely dwarfed by the dark purple marks right next to them given to you by the kitsune.

You never thought she’d let her animalistic bare its teeth at you. That she’d let it almost devour you.

Now you know to never bait her like that again.

Too bad you don’t realize that once the animal is out of its cage, it will never go back inside.

Shenhe:

Someone will die because of you.

Shenhe’s first instinct tells her that someone hurt you, and she sees red. Anyone who dares lay a finger on you is met with the sight of the sharp end of her spear. It doesn’t help that she’s significantly faster than you, so even sprinting at your fastest, following the trails of the dead monsters isn’t enough. You have to get her to come back, so you do something almost as stupid as playing this prank on her.

You know she’d never hurt you on purpose, but you can’t help but flinch when Shenhe’s spear barely misses you and plunges into the ground, a Mitachurl impaled on it. You knew she’d come to save you, so you didn’t hesitate to throw yourself into danger and simply scream her name and the word help at the top of your lungs. The small band of monsters is wiped out before you can even process that she’s already back.

She leans over you, and you’re pierced by her silver eyes.

“Don’t do that again.”

You wrap your arms around her neck and promise not to, leaning up to kiss her. Shenhe responds quickly, locking herself onto you and pressing her lips against yours. You pour all of your love into this kiss and hope that she can feel it past her red bindings.

You think she does because when you finally let go to catch your breath, she seems disappointed.

You kiss her cheek and all over her face, giggling at the sight of the growing pink blush on her cheeks.

You kiss down her jaw and gasp when Shenhe puts her hand on your chest and pushes you back down onto the grass.

“No.”

You’re the one with the marks on your neck. Shenhe should be the one giving your wounds attention.

Your dilemma of trying to decide whether or not to tell her the truth about them is made for you when Shenhe kisses a purple spot only to taste something sweet. She rubs the spot with her finger and finds the purple smudging before coming off. The rest of the marks do the same when she wipes them a couple of times. You watch as her brows furrow in confusion and she looks at you quizzically. You grin up at her sheepishly and tell her that you were just playing a small trick on her, and wanted to see how she’d react. You can’t help but feel bad as you watch a debate and conflict go through her head and reflect in her eyes, though her overall expression remains as pensive as ever.

“So, you’re not hurt. You just wanted to see what I’d do if I thought you were?”

You hesitate but decide to be honest, explaining that bruises and marks on people don’t always mean that they’ve been hurt in a bad way. Sometimes it means that the person is loved in a… passionate way.

“Then let me try.”

You feel your breath taken away when Shenhe says that. You nod quickly and she leans down and bites your neck. Hard. You yelp and dig your fingers in the roots of her hair.

“Sh-shenhe! Not so harsh!”

You have to take another moment to explain to her how to do it properly, but when she tries a second time you find she’s a quick learner, quickly pulling moans and whimpers out of you. The grip she has on your waist tightens as she sucks and nibbles at every inch of your skin. She wants more. Your voice is so pretty when you say her name like that. What else can she do to make you make these sounds? She’ll do everything she can to find out.

Extra: I wrote a seperate smutty bit about Hu Tao here

My Liege

bottom!ftm!knight Xiao x top!masc!king reader

☆ Word Count: 1,128 ☆

AFAB Language Used | Don't expect a part two this was in the vault for months 😭

CW: Non-Con, Dacryphilia, Fingering, Virginity Loss, Belly Bulge, Riding, Squirting

Reader Discretion is Advised

As the king of Liyue, it's expected for you to have personal bodyguards. Between you and your husband, Zhongli, you have 4 knights.

Ganyu, Keqing, Shenhe, and Xiao. You typically take Xiao and Keqing due to their rationality and level heads. On trips to smaller and safer places you only bring Xiao.

These particular trips allow you to spend some time with your secret lover. You still think back on the first time you started your new relationship.

"May I ask where we're going, your highness?" Xiao asks, following you to an unknown location.

"Just somewhere to get away from the crowd. It was a little too much to handle today." You reply, leading him to a secluded and worn down building. "Do a perimeter check." You enter the place and look around, happy to find a chair that's still intact.

"Yes sir." Xiao looks around the area and defeats any hilichurls and slimes that were lingering around. After double checking, he stands in front of the entrance. You grab Xiao and force him to sit down with you, pushing his back against your chest.

"Sir?" Xiao whispers worriedly, assuming there's a person somewhere.

You lean your head down to talk in his ear. "Shh." Your arm is wrapped around his stomach so he doesn't move, your other hand tugging his tank top upwards.

Whenever you tell him to be quiet, he listens and doesn't say a word until you allow him to. So even as you push his top all the way up and grope his chest, he stays silent. Even if he isn't comfortable with it.

"Sorry but I have to use you, Xiao." You kiss his neck. "Zhongli doesn't have time for this kind of thing anymore..." Your hand moves to pull his pants down.

Xiao closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, hating the way you're touching him and how your bulge is pressing against his ass.

"Your body is so pretty, Xiao." You play around with his clit. "Do you know how pretty you are?" Your fingers move down to touch his increasingly wet cunt.

Xiao tries his best not to cry, he hasn't felt this weak in years. He hadn't cried and was convinced he became unable to since his friends died. He couldn't even remember what it was like to cry.

"Pull my pants down for me."

He shakily unzips your slacks and pulls them down. You grab his hips and force him to rub against your bulge. "Come on, do it yourself."

Xiao grimaces and starts rolling his hips. You go back to playing with his clit, making his movements inconsistent and shaky.

"Good boy." You groan and turn his head to look at you.

Xiao comes with a whimper, tightening around nothing. You bring him into a heated kiss, leaving him even more out of breath than he already was.

You turn Xiao to face you completely and bring his hand to the waistband of your boxers. "Do you want it, sweetheart? Tell me you want my cock inside you."

"I...I want your- your co...cock inside me." Xiao frowns and pulls your underwear off, your hard length is making Xiao nervous. "My liege...I'm- I've never done this before...it will hurt, and I need to have the strength to protect you.."

"You can take it, Xiao. I know you can." You grab his sides and hover his body over your cock.

"Y- yes, my liege. I apologize." Xiao's voice shakes. He sucks in a breath before you lower him down, biting his lip hard enough to draw blood as your tip pushes through his entrance. He tries his hardest to relax as you shove your full length into him, stretching out his virgin cunt.

Your cock twitches in excitement. "Shit, you feel better than Zhongli."

Xiao struggles to adjust to the foreign feeling, breaking out into uncontrolled sobs. He looks gorgeous with his tummy bulging, he's so small..

“Look at how deep I am inside you, sweetheart.” You make Xiao look at his stomach. He frowns, crying harder. You gently grab his cheeks with one hand and lift his face up. "You're even cuter when you cry." You say before bringing him into a kiss. You rub circles around his clit to make him more comfortable. Xiao whimpers and moans into your mouth, subconsciously moving his hips as you bring him pleasure. He's extremely inexperienced but he tries his best to kiss you back. He hates this but he wants to make you happy. You pull away and look at Xiao's embarrassed expression.

"Was it bad..?" He asks in between sniffles. He’s worried he disappointed you with his bad kissing skills.

"Of course not.." You kiss his wet cheek. "Do you want to make me feel good?"

Xiao nods and tries wiping his tears in an attempt to stop crying but they just keep flowing. You take his hands and place them on your shoulders. “Hold onto me and lift yourself up.”

He squeezes your shoulders and raises himself up while shaking.

“Now bring yourself down.”

Xiao sinks down onto your length, a soft whine leaving his trembling lips.

“Good boy, keep doing that.”

He buries his head in your shoulder, sobbing heavily as he attempts to ride you. You don't do anything to comfort him and let him cry his heart out.

“It hu- hurts-” He whimpers. “It hurts so much-” His strong facade crumbles to pieces.

“You’re doing so well, baby…doing so well for me.” You reassure him.

“Please…please help..” His body aches from crying so hard. He feels humiliated, he’s supposed to be strong and able to withstand pain but he can't handle it. He can't handle you.

“Aw, you’re too cute.” You place your hands on his small waist and take over, raising his body before slamming him down. His eyes roll back as you use his body like a fleshlight. He can just barely stay conscious.

Xiao sobs as you fuck him, overwhelmed by an intense mix of feelings. Humiliation, pain, and…pleasure. It feels…good? Xiao’s eyes widen. No, it feels amazing. He arches his back and comes, squirting like a fountain.

You pull him off you despite the very strong urge to keep fucking him. You don't want to overstimulate him, it’d be hard to explain why you had to carry your own guard home. Xiao looks at you with a dazed expression.

“You did so well, my knight.” You have him sit on your lap. You caress his cheek and he leans into your touch.

You give him time to recover before helping him get dressed. Your boner eventually went down and you never got to come but Xiao’ll make up for it next time.

Hello! Can I asked some sfw and nsfw headcanons relationship for cloud retainer, please? (Male reader), if not then, you can ignored this if you like. Have a good day!

Ugh mommy CR my love <3

CONTAINS NSFW

Game: Genshin Impact

Characters: Xianyun (Cloud Retainer) x male!reader (can also read as gn!reader with a cock)

Type: SFW + NSFW hcs

SFW

How you met

She met you through Ganyu's relations, you were a human working with the Qixing alongside Ganyu. You were well aware of Ganyu being an Adeptus and that the legendary Cloud Retainer was her mentor. Though, you had never met Cloud Retainer yourself before, you greatly looked up to her.

One day, a mysterious lady by the name of Xianyun came to the Qixing to meet Ganyu. Ganyu instantly recognized it was Cloud Retainer disguised as a human, she was too busy to meet her so she asked you to assist her on her behalf. While you were reluctant to do so since it was the Cloud Retainer, you complied.

And the moment you laid your eyes on her, you were flabbergasted. You didn't expect her to be such a beautiful mature lady, you practically fell in love at first sight. Xianyun too, was impressed by you and considered you reliable enough due to how Ganyu talked about you.

Slowly, you accompanied Xianyun more as she roamed Liyue. She found you to be good company, you listened attentively to her stories about the past and were very curious about her mechanical prowess, often silently watching her invent something new right in front of your eyes. Before long, you were really in love with her but didn't know if Adepti were even open to forming such deep relations with humans.

Dating Experience

Nevertheless, you confessed your feelings to her one fine day, and to your surprise she accepted. She stated her reasoning to be curious about human relations and wanting to experience them, but she was yet to realize she too had fallen for you. Your relationship was unique to say the least, in her Adeptus form she was taller than you and appeared majestic.

She would let you ride her in her Adeptus form and soar the skies together. You even learned some combat skills from her, along with many other things. She was highly knowledgeable, and it seemed after a long time she was excited enough to share her knowledge with someone. She wasn't big on physical affection; she never denied you when you wanted it but didn't ask much herself.

She was big on giving gifts, especially her own handmade inventions. She was very observant of your likes and whenever she noticed you wanted something, she'd end up inventing her own version of it which would be far better than the market one. You also discovered she was quick to get jealous but didn't express it properly. She was too prideful for it.

NSFW

She has moderate sexual experience, she used to have fun in her younger days with Guizhong but for a long time hasn't indulged in it. She is quite well aware of most things and will take the initiative especially since she finds out it's your first time. Somehow, that gets her fired up. A human's first time with her? You should definitely feel proud.

Amazing blowjob skills, like there's just something about her technique that reduces you to a panting mess as if your life was sucked out. And she savors every moment, watching your cum drip down your cock and lapping it up so well. She wants to be on top mostly, will ride you all night and take in your cum.

She's also very motherly, she loves to have you lay your head on her lap and suck on her boobs while she strokes your cock and relieves you. She knows how tiring the work with the Qixing is, especially having to deal with someone like Ningguang. Will unknowingly pamper you like a baby, she's just used to it so much due to taking care of Ganyu and Shenhe

You eventually discover her more.... daring side. She's into outdoor sex, yes I said it. But she definitely prefers to be hidden. She loves it when you bend her over a tree at Jueyun Karst and pound into her from behind, she knows her fellow Adepti could come anytime but she needs you first.

As your relationship goes deeper, she finds you worthy to give her a child so she will make you breed and impregnate her. A baby between a human and Adeptus will surely be fascinating, but she more so cares about having your seed inside. Centuries later she finally experienced true love, and she will give you her everything.

Can you make a cloud retainer x adeptus reader? Like a continuation of the previous fic of yours but Shehe and Ganyu found out soon that their master was pregnant with reader child and want to protect the unborn child

Also keep it spicy if you can

-💜anon

Aww Shenhe and Ganyu's reaction to their master being pregnant 🥹

"Master's child"

☆Prompt: After you impregnated your adeptus wife, Shenhe and Ganyu became very over protective of her and their soon to be little brother/sister.

☆Warnings: G!P Adeptus Reader, smut, fluff, mother-daughters moment.

"That's it y/n keep hitting that spot ahh~" Xianyun moaned as your enormous cock kept hitting her g-spot. It's been five hours now and you seem to be unable to resist your wife. She looked so beautiful; her legs on your shoulder, her chest and boobs covered with hickies, her hair sprawled out.

You increased your pace, making her eyes roll to the back as her tongue came out, drool leaking out. Xianyun felt her nineth orgasm approaching and without warning, she squirted all over your dick, the force making you groan as you emptied your balls inside her womb. With your Adeptus strength and stamina, you wanted more, however, Xianyun couldn't keep up and you didn't want to break her.

Pulling out your dick, you saw your mixed cum pour out of her and the sight looked truly tempting but you held back, seeing the passed out Xianyun. You cuddled into her side and soon drifted off to sleep.

A few weeks have passed since that steamy night and you've noticed that Xianyun has been avoiding you. It hurt you and left you confused as to why she did that. You even went as far as to ask Shenhe, Ganyu, and Zhongli but didn't find an answer. The only thing left to do was to confront her and that you did. Xianyun and you were seated on Mountain shaper's Mountain. "Well, are you gonna answer me? Why are you avoiding me? If something is bothering you, let me know."

Xianyun sighed and adjusted her glasses. "There has been nothing bothering me but I..." this was the first time you saw her so vulnerable and scared. You gently pulled her into a hug as her eyes widened.

"Something is bothering you, I can tell. Please, what's going in that pretty head of yours? Hmm?"

"One has recently found out that one may be carrying your child." You blinked a few times before your jaw dropped.

"You're pregnant? How? When?"

"It seemed after that night. I wasn't feeling a tad okay, so I asked Moon Carved and Mountain Shaper to help well to basically check if I'm alright. Mountain Carver had felt another presence with us that day, but it wasn't strong. Moon Carver suggested I take a pregnancy test and well... it came back positive." You listened each word attentively, before a smile broke out from your face.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner instead of avoiding me?"

"I was scared. I'm sorry."

"No need to apologise, I'm so happy right now. You're carrying my child, my own flesh and Blood."

"Master is pregnant?!" Two voices shouted from behind you making you scream. Xianyun was startled as well.

Shenhe and Ganyu jumped out from behind a rock. "Master is this true?" Shenhe asked as she approached Xianyun who sighed but nodded.

"It is. I'm going to be a mother, well a mother to a third individual," she smiled as she rubbed her belly. Ganyu approached you and pulled you into a bone crushing hug.

"Congratulations you two! Oh this is wonderful! Oh we need to buy baby clothes! What will we name them? I hope it's a girl," the three of you watched as Ganyu freaked out over the unborn baby.

"I think it's a boy," Shenhe replied with a small smile. She felt extremely happy and suddenly pulled Xianyun into a hug. At first, Xianyun was puzzled but then she relaxed and eventually hugged Shenhe back, a bright smile adorning her face. Shenhe reached and pulled Ganyu into the hug and it became a trio hug. Xianyun couldn't stop smiling as she hugged both of her daughters and kissed each one of them on their foreheads.

"We can't forget the father of the baby," Shenhe smiled and both Ganyu and her embraced you as you did to them.

From then on, Ganyu and Shenhe were always buy Xianyun's side. Sometimes it's just Ganyu alone, then Sometimes it's just Shenhe, and even though you were there, they felt the need to protect their master (mother) and their little sibling.

When the baby was born, you watched as Ganyu and Shenhe got excited and it was the first time that Shenhe expressed alot of emotions. The two of them eventually fell asleep, cradling your son in their arms and you knew that, that boy will be extremely spoiled and you couldn't be more glad to have that little family.

[aether]

— aether holds you close, rubbing his cheek against yours in efforts of slowing your anxiety-ridden breaths down — he won't lie, he's pretty anxious for you as well; but he knows he has to keep his composure so as to not freak you out even more — whispers sweet, calming words into your ears and will tell you that everything is going to be okay

[lumine]

[mona]

— being cheered up by mona usually consists of her swearing out the person who made you sad, as dignified mona can be — also makes you tea (its cheaper than going out to angels share + she believes that her tea is better than anything else. you agree) — lets you play with her experiments bc pretty colours make you happy :3

[ningguang]

helloo there! can i request smth?? ^_^ could you do where the reader has crush on xiao but they are usually is very timid and shy/blushy around him.? they run away whenever he pops up! (xiao likes them back!) u can choose the rest tysm! :3 💗💗

★ A/N: Xiao is such a sweetie though, love him. I have him on my NA and he's like my only decently built character. I should really log back into there and take care of my characters.

☆ Genre/Trope: Romantic + Fluff + Mutual Pining

★ Format: Short Fic (W.C: 904)

☆ Warnings: None (I think?)

★ Extra: Reader is the same height as Xiao // Xiao might be OOC // Traveler Lumine // Reader not from Liyue -> Moved there to start a business (You can choose) // Might be a bit messy sorry!

Shy Away - Xiao x GN! Reader

“You called?”

Spoke the adeptus appearing behind you and the blonde traveller. You yelped a bit and was quick to hide yourself behind Lumine who sighed out tiredly. She looked towards Xiao and attempted to move out of the way however you continued to stay behind her. Paimon could only watch in disappointment, looking towards Xiao who was confused.

“OH MY ARCHONS JUST-”

“NO”

And with that, you were quick to rush off, leaving a very flustered Lumine and Paimon and befuddled Xiao (who if you looked closely enough, he seemed almost…hurt?)

How’d it come to this? To you requesting help from Lumine and Paimon to confess your love to Xiao, yet when it came time too. You ended up rushing away from him like always.

Oh right, now you remember.

A few months back, you had met with Lumine when she came by to celebrate the Lantern Rite. You already knew Xiao at the time, it’d be weird if you didn’t. He was one of the adeptus of Liyue of course. It wasn’t until Lumine introduced you two properly that you found out he also knew you.

He’s not only heard of you from Shenhe and Ganyu but also during his patrol around Liyue, he would catch himself staring at you just a bit longer than needed. He’d always brush it off as.

“They moved here to start their business, I’m only keeping watch because they might be dangerous”

As if it hadn’t been a couple of years since you moved here. Zhongli was the first to point it out and the ex-geo archon could only chuckle as he witnessed his adeptus face become redder and redder.

When you two did properly meet, the feeling you two already semi had for each other only grew. When you found out you were falling for Xiao, you just could not bring yourself to tell him right away…leading you to many situations…

~~~~~~~~~~

You hummed to yourself a bit, sweeping the floor. Your eyes caught onto a jade necklace Xiao had gifted you for your birthday, with a small smile. You went over and took hold of it in your free hand.

Unintentionally, you must have whispered his name as the next thing you knew, you heard someone behind you and gently speak out your name. And despite you knowing who it was, perhaps your body acted before your mind as you quickly whipped around and nearly hit Xiao with the broom. He ducked and just looked at you in confusion and concern.

“...Are you okay [Name]? Are you hur-”

“AH, X-XIAO SORRY. BYE”

Was all you could muster before dropping everything and rushing out…of your own home…

~~~~~~~~~~

“[Name]? Are you listening”

A hand waved in front of your face and when your eyes finally focused, your mind stopped the long day dream you had of how your life with Xiao could be like if you two were to date.

Then your eyes finally landed on Xiao who looked at you softly…his face inches away from yours, you fell back with a small yelp banging your head on the wall which Xiao was quick to check on you.

“S-sorry! I um, don’t w-worry about me”

“...You banged your head on the wall [Name]...are you able to answer what I asked you?”

“Oh! Yeah of course…yes I agree”

Xiao sighed softly, bringing a hand around to rub the back of your head to soothe the pain.

“I asked what flower was your favourite…”

~~~~~~~~~~

“[Name] wait!”

He called, as he witnessed you run away again. He didn’t even do anything, nor did you. You just wanted to give him lunch of almond tofu you made yourself.

But the smile he gave you and how gently he took it from your hand, the slight touch as his hands grazed your own softly was perhaps too much for you, and before he could thank you, you had already run off.

He looked down on the ground, not wanting to possibly bother you. Zhongli came and stood beside him.

~~~~~~~~~~

This isn’t even talking about all the times you nearly embarrassed yourself in front of him or the amount of times you ran off thinking that’s the best thing you can do.

You’ve talked to Lumine and Paimon about it and eventually they had convinced you to confess to him. You’d call his name so he’d appear and Lumine and Paimon will be there to support you in the confession, so that’s what happened!

Which brings you back to now…hiding from him once again. You sat under a tree as you tried to cool down your face which was increasingly heating up…until a hand felt your forehead.

“...You’re heating up a lot”

Came an all too familiar voice. Your eyes met with Xiaos as he looked at you. You weren’t able to run away anymore. Your back was met with a tree and Xiao was in front of you. And you couldn’t just leave him without another explanation again could you?

“Sorry”

“For what?”

“Running off”

“It’s okay”

Silence filled the air as you two didn’t know what to say, before Xiao cleared his throat.

“...Lumine…she uh…”

“D-did she tell you?”

“She did…she said she was tired of you shying away…”

You silently cursed Lumine under your breath, but at the same time you knew if she didn’t say then you’d never be able to confess properly.

“...S-so?”

“I love you too”

Been working on this ever since I got it, decided to work on the smaller requests as well on the side fsrght

I hope this is okay! I might've missed some mistakes though...

NOTES!!.: I still exploring Fontaine and the characters, so for now, I’m not writing for any Fontaine characters! Have a good day/afternoon or night, hope you like it! This is my first time writing in English.

Thank you, @nervousdelusionballoon, for letting me use the idea!!

ROSARIA~

Rosaria was liking you for a very long time, she always watch you, saying that it’s for your protection, but she knows very well that isn’t for just protection.

Rosaria is a really quiet woman and many may consider her difficult to deal with, so your approach to her took a while, but it happened. You would go to Church almost every day to thank Barbatos and she would stay by your side or just watch you from afar, Rosaria don't believe in the Archons, however, if it meant staying close to you, having the slightest touches of your skin, she could accept that a bit, always spelling the Archon' name wrong, which you complained about at first, but now you just accepted it and is happy with the company of your dear friend.

As a nun, Rosaria cannot get involved in certain personal relationships, even so, she seeks at least something more than friendship, just let her protect you, but don't have a relationship with anyone, okay? Rosaria has this kind of thinking, she doesn't stay with anyone and neither do you, they would just be friends... So, when you say you like someone, she just listens in silence, thinking about how to end that person. And if you said you like shorter men and women, she'll be freaking out inside, you said you found Albedo attractive!

Rosaria felt strange, because she didn't trust him and also didn't want to see you with anyone. You also started to praise Amber quite often, which made her angry and hurt, was it because Amber believed in Barbatoes?! Was because of this? Did you want a devout person to the Archon?!

No, no, no! She will look for the deepest secrets and if she doesn't find anything compromising enough, she will stay by your side and invite you to the Church, after all, she needs to participate in certain activities and when she can't escape them, she always calls you to keep an eye on her. in you. Albedo and Amber have already realized how much Rosaria is by their side, especially, silently judging them and they feel that any wrong step or word would lead them to a not very good end.

KAEYA

Kaeya is quite attentive when it comes to his sweetheart (but you still don't know that you are destined for him), always winning over and trying to flirt with you, giving you hints that he liked you and only you! Those nights at the bar weren't enough for you to realize?! Kaeya knew you were weak to drink and so he could take advantage of that.

What shocked him was hearing that you thought Aether (or Lumine) and Albedo were cute just because they were shorter, he stopped drinking for a few seconds, listening to you ramble about how cute they were. This makes him angry, so all those days, months of flirting were useless because you liked shorter people!?

Kaeya tried to smile for you, support you through it all, but it was difficult, he didn't want to share it and he won't. Slowly moving you away from the "cute" or short guys, flirting in public so they know they don't have a chance, the smile getting bigger when they mention you two as a couple.

“a cute couple” they say, making his smile bigger and you flustered, even Albedo and Amber noticed that…

everything is going according to plan.

SHENHE

Shenhe wasn't a person fond of "humans", after all, she barely knew the concept of humanity and people didn't consider her as one either. So, being treated like a human and with so much affection, care and patience was a good experience. So good that she didn't want it to end. Hearing you say that you liked Xiangling for being shorter left her genuinely confused, she was conflicted as she didn't know how to react. Did she let you go or did she fight for that good feeling of kindness? Ant the bad thoughts began to fill her mind, did you like Xiangling because she was more human?

humanity is weird for her, so, the way she acts towards you is weird too.

Shenhe is strange towards any loving or more human sensation, so when the source of her jealousy appears, she wants to get rid of this evil so that she can become calmer and return to her normal, stoic state. But the moment you said you liked short people, she just didn't know what to do. Even if she got rid of them, there would always be someone else who caught her attention, and Shenhe can't change her own height. leaving her conflicted. In any case, Shenhe will remain by your side, she knows that she can be scary and that many may be afraid of her, so why not take advantage? So maybe you can see that height is not that important....

ZHONGLI

His passion for you was so gentle and obvious by the unintentional touches, the way he always called you and stayed by your side, but you were oblivious to all of that. Maybe he was just a good friend and since you received some advice from Zhongli, you thought about saying your preference for a love interest.

He was interested, maybe he was your type? Maybe you liked him and that was an excuse to say you loved him? so cute! So, he heard that you liked Xiao, he just looked at you in silence, which might scare you at first. Zhongli was in shock, as long as you are happy, he repeated to himself several times. Zhongli started to ask what made you interested in Xiao, and when he heard that it was time, he realized that there was no way to get your heart that easily. Those hours, days, months of courting you weren't useful?!

No, no, no! He wanted to stay in that idea “as long as you’re happy”, but you can’t be happy without him! You can’t see it? He will make you see that he is perfect for you, Zhongli first told you that Xiao probably wasn't interested in anything romantic and when that doesn't work, he'll talk to Xiao about you, asking him not to accept you. Zhongli had made you more and more dependent on him. Acting more and more like a "charming prince", even if he is eliminating the rivals.

Hello Henry :D I've followed you for quite sometimes and I really love your works!! So I'd like to request if you don't mind: Lisa, Shenhe and Yae with a very emotional reader. Like the reader can easily burst into tears, either when they feel too happy or too sad (kinda self-indulgent since that's me irl). I hope you can write this and if you don't that's fine!!! Thank you sm and have a good dayy!!!

Them with a very emotional reader

characters: Lisa / Shenhe / Yae Miko x gn!reader

warnings: none

a/n: *September 2022* OH GOD THIS REQUEST IS A YEAR OLD WHAT AM I DOING?!?! I am so sorry it took me this long, also, if you’re still following me and remember that you requested this anon, thanks for the nice words!

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Lisa

When the sun started to set and most people had already left the library a long time ago, one person outside of the librarian would almost certainly still be seated where they’d been for hours already, reading the same book they had been reading for hours already while still breaking out in laughter, tears of joy or sad weeping depending on whatever they were reading.

A long time ago, Lisa would have felt her peaceful naps disturbed, almost going as far as to reprimand them for not following every library's most sacred law. And yet, as she heard you giggling to yourself now, she couldn’t help but feel the corners of her lips shape into a smile as she left the comfortability of her chair to rise before slowly making her way over to where you sat.

“And cutie? Like what you’re reading?”, the librarian asked once she was behind your chair, putting her hands on it and leaning against it until her face wasn’t too far from the side of your head, something that proved to be lucky as you quickly whipped your head around, causing you to nearly headbutt her, the happiness on your face almost as radiant as that of a dog excitedly wagging its tail at the sight of its owner.

“Lisa!”, you exclaimed with excitement, throwing the notion of trying to keep quiet in a library completely out the window.

“Very much so, it’s surprisingly funny. Everytime I think I know what’s going to happen next, it takes a completely different turn. I can’t stop laughing…”, you slowly trailed off, staring into the far for a split second before once again turning your attention towards her, your cheeks growing red from shame.

“I was loud again, wasn’t I? Of course I was, that was a stupid question. I’m sorry Lisa, I know that I’m supposed to be quiet in here but- I tend to lose track of the real world whenever I’m here”, you frantically apologized, talking so quickly Lisa could feel herself growing lightheaded trying to keep up with you, only to eventually calm you down with an assuring smile.

“I know. I’m sure most people that come here kind of expect to hear you already at this point, so don’t worry your cute head over nothing.”

“Anyway, want to tell me about the book?”, she asked before taking a seat next to you and listening to you excitedly recollect about the book.

It only took her a couple of sentences to realize she had already read it, managing to finish each of your sentences during your plot summary in her head before you. But as she looked at your happy face as you went on, interrupting you was the last thing on her mind.

Shenhe

There were times your behavior didn’t quite seem to make sense to Shenhe. Tears coming out of your eyes only for you to smile and reassure her that they were tears of joy when she awkwardly tried to console you. Crying not out of sadness but from feeling happy? Shenhe must have been even more out of touch with human emotions than she had realized, that or the last time she felt such happiness must have been too far in the past for her to remember.

At the end of the day it didn’t matter. If you were happy that was great, and if you showed your joy by bursting into tears then it was also fine. Even if it caused her to worry a bit.

Today was your birthday and while the two of you had agreed to spend the day together, Shenhe didn’t come empty handed. She had seen people buy each other presents for special occasions and how happy they made others, and so, before she had realized it, she went and asked her master for help with choosing something to give you.

In hindsight it would have been quicker and a lot less embarrassing if she had just kept to herself, Cloudretainers choices being… rather unorthodox, but once she was involved, there was no way Shenhe was able to back out. Or bring the present back with her for that matter.

So here she was, handing you the present as her chest tightened up, uncharacteristic levels of anxiety building up in her in worry you wouldn’t like it, and yet, as she finally looked back at you, seeing you stare inside the opened bag with tears welling up in the corners of your eyes, that same anxiety quickly found itself replaced with panic.

“I’m sorry, it was stupid of me to try and get you something when I’m this out of touch with human society. Please for-”, Shenhe was just in the process of apologizing, when you basically jumped at her and gave her a hug, happily swaying from side to side.

“Thanks Shenhe! Where did you even get a Cor Lapis Amulet this beautiful?”, you asked before pulling back for a moment and pulling the string attached to the stone around your neck.

Here you were again, crying while being happy and leaving Shenhe completely dumbfounded. And while she silently stood there for a few moments, letting everything that was happening pass by, a smile slowly made its way onto her face, your joy far too radiant for the red strings around her body to stop all of it from rubbing off on her.

Yae Miko

Somehow, was it because Yae took pity on someone this easily moved to tears or because your display of unfiltered joy and happiness was too contagious for her to ruin it with a comment or two, you found yourself almost unharmed by the notorious Guuji. Sure, there were still more than enough times even you had to endure her teasing, but even then it was anything but humiliating.

The same could not be said about whoever was unlucky enough to hurt your feelings, be it by deliberately being mean to you or saying something hurtful in the heat of the moment…

When you had entered Yae’s office while loudly and enthusiastically greeting her, only for her to respond with nothing more than a grunt of acknowledgement, the room quickly returned to being completely silent, causing her to eventually look up at you, wondering why your enthusiasm had died down so suddenly, only to be greeted with the sight of you spacing out, your expression growing increasingly worried and down.

“Is something wrong? Why so silent all of a sudden?”, she asked, finally putting her work to the side, causing you to snap out of it and look at her again, even if you avoided eye contact.

“Miko. Am I annoying?”

“Who called you annoying?”, Yae almost immediately shot back with another question, her voice betraying her determination to find out a name, and while she saw your eyes widen in surprise as you quickly tried to assure her that there was no one, she knew you better than to be fooled.

“I’m just saying that if I annoy you, you can tell me-”, you barely managed to get the sentence out of your mouth as small tears started forming on the corners of your eyes, before Yae cut you off again.

“My little bird, go around the streets and ask about me for a minute and you’ll find out quite easily that I’m not exactly someone that holds back when it comes to saying what I want. So don’t even think I’d be too afraid to tell you if I really found you annoying.”

By the time she finished talking, Yae stood only a meter or two in front of you, only to continue talking after a small pause.

“So. What’s their name?”

Was it out of intimidation or because some deep, part of you wanted them to get their comeuppance, but before you knew it, you had spilt the name, immediately feeling guilt over what was about to happen wash over you, only for Yae to give you a reassuring smile before lightly patting your shoulder.

“Sit down and make yourself comfortable, I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

Hello, could you do some hc about shinobu x gn reader who's love language is biting?

Like someone's just having a conversation with shinobu and you has appear behind her and *chomp*??

(This part is up to you: )

Would be funny to see what would happen if reader was a demon 💀💀

Like the first time it happens shinobu almost kills reader but she doesnt feel their teeth and there wasn't even a bite mark left behind? It's like their version of a kiss?

Shinobu x gn!demon reader whos love language is biting

a/n: Dropping this off before i resume back to my cave. I am trying to find motivation to fix my post so I can make it clear I am writing genshin women too. The ones I will write for is beidou, ei, yae miko, ninguangg, shenhe, ganyu and mostly the others. Some characters I might not be good at writing like Ninguang or Kequing but I will try my best!!!

I am also trying to work on some of the more older reauest that has just been picking up dust in my inbox, sinceriest apologize!

🦋- Shinobu first thought it was a odd thing, biting their loved ones? Never heard of it.

🦋- First time you did it Shinobu nearly killed you.

🦋- Sitting on a tree doing whatever you saw a short girl stand a few feet with her back turned to you.

🦋- You looked at her and decided she was chompble so being sneaky as you are you just went behind her and chomped. She didn’t notice anything at first before realizing a demonic precens leading to her turning around and trying to stab you with her sword.

🦋- She didn’t really have anything to be pissed about since she didn’t even know you bit her.

🦋- After alot of you trying to convince her that you are a good demon and not getting killed, she stopped trying to kill you and reluctantly you were offered shelter since you looked a bit skinny near starving.

🦋- Strangely enough or not you could consume human food but mostly meat and that did satisfy your hunger but Shinobu still kept a close eye on you.

🦋- Months of you helping out in the mansion, maybe killing other demons and helping the demon slayer corps she trusted you well enough and counted you as a friend.

🦋- When you guys were friends never did you bite her except the first one but she didn’t know. So the first time you did and she actully noticed she thought you had succumbed to your demonic insticts and desire for humans leading to her nearly killing you. After again insisting it is just your way of showing love she just stood there like: ”what-”🧍‍♀️

🦋- After a few times she would probably move away or halfheartedly shove your face away so your teeth doesn’t reach her.

🦋- After you guys got a little more comfortable with your relationship she just let you do it. It was your way to express your love to her, who is she to stop you? She even found it cute sometimes.

🦋- She gave you a warning though not to do it infront of slayers since you are a demon.

🦋- You didn’t listen to her warnings and still bit her even when slayers were around leading to near disastrous misunderstandings.

🦋- Words spread that you are a innocent demon or didn’t eat and kill people so your name was at least cleared. Although that didn’t stop people from being surprised everytime they had a conversation with Shinobu and you just walked behind her and *chomp*

🦋- Shinobu tried to ignore it but she couldn’t for long and just excused herself before trying to chide you. She could never be angry at you for long but she did say that she do not want you to bite her when there are many people around or like in town at evenings and nights.

🦋- Now though Shinobu likes your little love language and think it is a creative strange way of kissing.

🦋- You usally bite her hand, arm or neck like a vampire.

🦋- Sometimes you two could be holding hands and you just take her hand up and chomp. Other times when you two are in the garden and she reaches up to pick an apple you take that oppurtunity to grab her arm and chomp.

hiii i liked that asking to scissor prompt for a while ago so could i request yoimiya for the same prompt please? 💕 and maybe shenhe, amber, and shinobu if it's okay to ask for more than one character? thank you!

yoimiya | shenhe | amber | shinobu x fem!reader ―asking them to scissor !! this is a part 2 !! click >here< for part 1 <3

―yoimiya !! her face would get so so red <33 but she'd be so excited, so flustered, she's such an angel. ― her pants weren't the only thing you could hear as she fucks her hips against yours, rubbing your clits together at a fast pace. the sound of your wet cunts grinding together also accompanied her. when you asked if she could scissor you, her face got so red, her eyes widened, and her jaw even slacked a bit. yet she wasted no time in taking you back into her room and pressing you down into her bed, hands furiously trying to undress the two of you. she became almost like a desperate puppy, begging and whining until she could feel the warmth and the wetness of your pussy against hers, and oh archons did it feel good. "ah! ah! its- its so good!" she groans, her senses melting together. she felt overwhelmed and on the brink of an orgasm. it was the sounds of your moaning and panting that drove her over the edge, hips twitching as she kept trying to go on, hungry for more friction between you two.

―shenhe !! i don't think she'd know what that is, or at least not realize what you're asking from her, but once she understands she'd have you begging for her <3 ―she grunts softly with each rough thrust of her hips, fucking you hard into the mattress below. no matter how many times you begged for her to slow down and let you catch your breath, she didn't listen. you asked for her to scissor you, you're getting exactly what you wanted. you sobbed out cries of pleasure, the wetness between you two made it so much easier for her to go faster and faster. she moved her hands to have one holding your thigh above her, and the other holding your other thigh down on the mattress to give her plenty of moving room to fuck you so good. she knows what shes doing, she knows how to grind against you, how to angle her hips perfectly so your clits rub against each other, how to tell when youre about to cum just so she could suddenly stop and ruin your orgasm<3

―amber !! she'd be such a flustered baby, im honestly not sure who would be on top, but for the sake of my submissive ass, she'll be on top<3 ―she started out nervous, weaking thrusting against your cunt trying to figure out a good rhythm and position to grind at. she looks at you with pleading eyes, whimpering softly when your clits touched even in the slightest. she eventually got the hang of it, and once she found the confidence she needed, she was fucking you like a bunny in heat. her hips were desperately bucking into yours. her hips were going between two movements, hard grinding, and quick circles. her moans were loud and whiney, her hands grabbing at you everything to find something to hold onto, she was truly a mess. "mmh! mmh! so good! so good so good!" she babbles on about how good it feels, her body twitching as she nears her orgasm. even after finishing, she kept grinding into you, slower, yet still needy.

―shinobu !! honestly, she's been daydreaming of this, so when you asked, she didn't waste a second to agree. ―she was so teasing with her hips, switching between fucking you fast and hard to slowly dragging her slit against yours. she was torturous, stopping her movements when you were on the verge of cumming. could you blame her? she was torturing herself just as much. it felt so good, the warm wetness of your pussy had her drunk. she wanted that feeling to last forever, so to try and accomplish just that, she pushed back your orgasms as much as she could. however, despite her efforts, she completely lost her self control when you started to buck your hips up into hers, getting desperate and needy for release. her back arches and a moan slips from her mouth as she also bucks into you, hips speeding up as fast as she could go.

Heart's Defense

Characters: A good 90% of playable characters + unreleased harbingers (not all of them tho)

Summary: How do they protect their heart from others?

CW: Kinda, really angsty..., some duplications cause I felt they fell into both sections, not proofread, maybe some OOCness, kinda an x reader but also kinda not, VERY sorry for the formatting - Tumblr has something against me for some reason???

They pull you into the falsehood that they're open to telling you anything, and you're left unable to think any differently with how friendly they present themselves. Always willing to help or hang out. They lend a listening ear and before you know it they know so much more about you than you know about them. You'll be privy to surface facts, but the moment anyone asks something even remotely personal you're struck with an indescribable sense of loss. When did this friendship become so one-sided?

Childe, Venti, Hu Tao, Jean, Ayato, Zhongli, Itto, Beidou, Sara, Lisa, Heizou, Columbina

Masters of stringing the right words together at just the right time, they simply dissuade the topic to that of another. You won't notice it until it's too late - or maybe you see it right from the start but say nothing, catching the hint. But you can never miss the shift in their gaze, a quiet, unspoken sadness. Unknowingly they've revealed what they tried to hide, but you stay silent still. The least you can do is grant them this lie that keeps them from crashing and breaking.

Kaeya, Kazuha, Yae Miko, Ningguang, Beidou, Eula, Gorou, Fischl, Thoma, Yoimiya

There were never any openings to begin with, not a single way left for outsiders to wiggle their way in uninvited. You can't ask if there's no opportunity. As always thought, there are the select few that breach past the seemingly impenetrable barrier. To those people, they are met with yet another brick wall - they'll ask their unsolicited questions only to be answered with silence. Any persistence is followed with a facial warning - a blank look, a glare, a perturbing smile. Do not continue, for my sake and your ignorant bliss.

Rosaria, Diluc, Xiao, Albedo, Eula, Shinobu, Shenhe, Yelan, Baihzu, Arlecchino, Dottore, Capitano, Scaramouche, Childe

Every fiber of their being screams to share how they feel with you, a flicker of trust forever burning in their heart no matter how many times they're beaten to the ground. Humanity isn't all that bad right? They've seen it time and time again, so they continue to pour tiring faith into those around them. It doesn't mean they're entirely blind to the truth. So, when the cycle falls to you, hesitation takes over, a fear festering in their mind that you are like all that came before you. Perhaps, if they stay silent, refuse to let you in, you'll remain by their side. If that's the price, so be it.

Collei, Aether, Lumine, Yanfei, Yun Jin, Kokomi, Amber, Chongyun, Bennett, Barbara, Ayaka, Venti

Helloooooo are requests open at the moment? If it is, can I request a female reader wearing a maid dress? Similar to the anon who requested this before, but with Shenhe, Kujou Sara, and Lisa. Thank you!

Her Maid

Fandom: Genshin Impact

Characters: Shenhe, Kujou Sara, Lisa

Pairings: Fem!Reader x ^above characters

Warnings: implied smut- nothing explicit, fem pronouns for reader, shocking, master/servant dynamics

Word count: 1.1k

Synopsis: "You like what you see?"

Shenhe:

What is that? What are you wearing? Why does she suddenly feel a hunger for you? What is this intense need to see you submit to her, to see you bend at her will? And more than anything.

How can she keep you for herself?

These other people. There’s too many of them. No one else should see you like this. This outfit, your body, it’s all for her eyes only.

You can’t decide between gasping or giggling at your girlfriend’s response. She’s unconsciously gripping her spear to the point that if it were a normal one, you’re more than positive the staff would break. And the way she’s staring at you simultaneously makes you freeze in place and feel like you’re on fire.

You’d be dead where you stand if looks could kill.

But she wouldn’t let you die. She’d make sure you stay alive so that she can see you walk around in those tights and heels a little longer. See the way the sleeves lightly squeeze your arms in a way that makes you look even softer. Stare at the little window that shows the dip between your breasts.

Shenhe loves seeing you in the outfit.

But now she’s also craving seeing you without it on.

Kujou Sara:

Completely shocked and flustered.

She’s aware she’s staring, but she can’t seem to force herself to look away. She tries to talk but only sputters out nonsense. Your poor girlfriend has simply stopped working. When she finally regains a small amount of her composure, she quickly grabs your arm and leads you into her office, locking the door behind her. What were you thinking walking around in public in such an outfit?!

“Wha- what are you wearing?” She manages to say.

You giggle and twirl, the skirt lifting a bit before Sara suddenly grabs you to make you stop. You think it’s funny how flustered your girlfriend is, despite seeing you in much less a few days ago.

“It’s a maid outfit,” you say simply.

“Maid? Outfit?” Sara tilts her head quizzically.

“Yep! Girls who are servants to people wear them. Hehe. Can I do anything for you, Master?”

You see Sara’s throat shift as she gulps.

“I could clean your office for you or make you some lunch or help you get changed into something more comfortable. Anything for you, Master.” You giggle.

You’re pretty sure your girlfriend is going to explode from how high her blood pressure is from just listening to you.

“Ju–Just stay here with me. Okay? I don’t want anyone else seeing you like that.”

“Oh? Are you jealous?”

“Wha! N-No! Stop teasing me!”

You laugh again, “Don’t worry Master. I won’t ever leave you. You own me after all.”

You see Sara’s eyes darken at those words. The hand on your waist tightens and your face is suddenly pressed against your girlfriend’s chest. A low, rumbling grow can be heard inside her. You wiggle in her grasp and gasp when you’re suddenly pushed and backed into the wall.

“I told you to stop teasing me.”

You put on your best innocent face and bat your eyelashes at Sara, “What do you mean?”

You choke on your next quip as you feel her roughly grab your ass.

“Do you really want me to spell it out for you?”

You let out a whine and arch your back so you’re pressed against her further. “Please teach me Master.”

Sara reaches behind you and with a click and fwoosh the room is plunged into darkness. She closed the windows behind her, locking them. You grind against her further and openly moan as you feel her hands wander all over your body. You’re pretty sure your outfit is already ruined.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Lisa:

You squeak when you feel something shock the exposed skin on your thigh. Lisa’s hand creeps higher and zaps you again, the feeling going straight to your core.

“Goodness, I’m so glad I got such a pretty helper for the library. You’ll make the boring parts of my job so much more fun.”

She nuzzles against your collarbone, and you try to squirm out of her grasp.

“m-Miss Lisa…”

“Hm… yes cutie?”

Your words disappear from your mouth as you open it. You’re not even sure if you had something to say to begin with. You fidget awkwardly on your superior’s lap. You’re pretty sure you should be working right now, but Lisa has a tight grip on your thigh, nails right on the seam of your underwear. Her other hand is crawling up your back, teasing the zipper on the back of your dress.

“Awww. Did my adorable little maid just forget what she was going to say? Don’t worry, you look cute when you’re lost.”

This time the shock comes from the back of your neck. You jerk forward and end up face to face with your delighted mistress.

“Oh darling, I’m going to love playing with you. Now, go finish your work and make sure to stay where I can see you.”

You nod and slowly stand up, careful to not collapse under shaky legs. You support yourself on a nearby rolling cart. Once you’re certain you won’t just fall over at the first step, you push the cart of books over to the shelf in front of Lisa’s desk. You start shelving them, taking a few at a time and sliding them into place. It’s going smoothly until you feel another sudden shock, causing you to drop the books in your hands.

“Careful cutie. Make sure to treat these books carefully.”

You gulp and nod. The atmosphere seems to become more humid and tense.

“Sorry Miss Lisa,” you apologize quietly. You bend to pick them up, but suddenly freeze when you feel hands running along your back.

“You know…” Lisa mutters, “I was lying when I said you had to wear a maid uniform for this job.”

You feel your face burning.

“But you should keep wearing this outfit anyway.” You gasp as you feel her hands run lower and whine when her touch is suddenly gone. You look back, to see Lisa already back in her seat.

“Go slow, cutie. I’m enjoying the view.”

You don’t think any of this is appropriate, but you still comply, slowly bending at the waist further, reaching down to pick up each book. You repeat this process for each book that fell, even going so far as to kneel and put your head to the floor to check and make sure none fell underneath the shelves.

You hear a soft squishing sound behind you and a soft moaning of your name.

The air is even more electrified now.

You wonder if everyday is going to be like this.

Genshin Characters as Sky COTL players Notes: Not an ‘x-reader’ for once? That’s new. X-readers will be back in a few business days and I will be writing for Twisted Wonderland and Tears of Themis. I have been playing a lot of Sky COTL lately after I found my veteran acc. Login so I thought why not make a headcanon post. So far we have few one shots and 3 series in the ‘currently’ writing. I should probably plan things and make notes so I won’t lose anymore ideas and drafts oof. [Grand masterlist]

The Musicians - These players probably have a huge collection of instruments ranging from the local spirits to seasonal spirits. They might also probably own a musical instrument that is no longer available because of an ultimate gift. It’s not unusual to see them playing at places like above the pipes at the graveyard or at the second floor of the vault because the music key they needed are located there. They also probably strayed for days in the Harmony hall when the season of performance got released. ---Kazuha (this guy is prolly always straying either in Prairie or the forest), Xinyan, Venti

The explorers - These players know where the winged lights were located in each realm starting from the easiest to get to the hardest ones. Need help in locating spirits? They can go with you and lead you. These guys have probably come across one or two bugs while exploring and like oob exploring too and makes easy routes for others to use. Sometimes they travel alone and sometimes in groups, they might also pair up with oobers from time to time. If you have time to listen they have the compiled theorized lore for them to tell you too. ---Mika, Aloy, Lumine and Aether, Kazuha, Kirara, Tighnari, Zhongli, Beidou

The Loners / Solo Flyers - Either they leave the game once one of their in-game friends go online or they immediately hop to another map when they hear the online notification. These players take their sweet time exploring alone and they might also go ninja mode from time to time just to avoid other players. Inventories either have several instant recharge spells or they carry an item that helps them charge. Given that they fly solo, they know just how to converse their flight power and know where every campfire and lamps are located. These players might also help you if you need help but after that they will just disappear and you might never see them again. Ps, they never get to finish those quests like holding a friend’s hand or following a friend. ---Diluc, Rosaria, Wanderer, Shenhe, Xiao

The Ikemen/Ikejou -They get followed by moths. They get followed by chibis. They either get flirted on or they flirt. Pretty chill players from time to time and most of them are flexing their seasonal or cosmetics that are not obtainable anymore. If their followers are unavoidable, they’ll light up, bow and then maybe an emote or two, and then leave. Might be tiktokers. ---Kaeya, Ayato, Lyney, Heizou, Childe, Yun Jin, Dehya

The uncoordinated players -Hits wind barrier. Gets trapped inside the Prairie cloud tunnel. Gets trapped like clothing inside a washing machine in Wind Path cloud tunnels. Runs out of flight power mid-air. Randomly losses flight control and goes crazy mid-air. Gets kidnapped by mantas at Prairie villages. Gets hit by a krill. Gets hit by a crab. Gets hit by players randomly passing by. Land on dark water after losing flight power. Land under acid rain after losing flight power. Land on, wait, did you just land in the middle of the graveyard without flight power? ---Benneth, Razor, Collei, and surprisingly, Chongyun (someone tell him that krills can’t be exorcised)

The helpful ones - Normally holding the hand of a moth or two that they randomly adopted at the lobbies. Deep calls to recharge players that they come across or those we find on random places with high density of dark waters and enemies. Initiates plant burning and makes sure crabs won’t touch their adopted moths. They carry lighting props as well if deep calls are not enough or if there’s a lot of people in the group. They usually travel in groups and most of the time if they are not winged light running or collecting spirits, they are finishing quests from past seasons. It’s rare to see them alone and their friend list is so long. ---Thoma, Amber, Jean, Candace, Aether, Lumine, Noelle

The krill chasers - They are beauty. They are grace. They love the krill’s warning light on their face. If they are not saving other random players from krill attacks by making them the krill targets and then they are just randomly flying around messing around with krills. They have the map of the wasteland memorized at the back of their hand and they are the players to stay on the battlefield once the gates open. They also collect crabs from time to time but nothing tops the thrill of dodging krills. If the wasteland krills are unavailable or if there are innocent players around that might become collateral damage, they can always go play fetch with the krill at the forgotten ark. ---Hu Tao, Childe

DECEIT of Theseus.

Shenhe X Female Reader

VOL 04 of Tragedies of Teyvat

⎯⎯mod kiki 🕰

There are five stages of grief, and acceptance is the first door you open.

Perhaps you had entertained the idea of death for far too long, perhaps the gods had finally gotten tired of your antics and decided you would be the next unfortunate victim of their cruel fate.

It follows you through the moon's positions within the night sky, you have memorized the routine by the time you reach the isolated island. It has been branded into your mind and rests on your sleeve as a talisman neatly pinned into the fabric of your clothing with an enlightened symbol messily inscribed onto it. You are the next, and you are naïve if you think you will be the last.

Just as the sun makes its descent into the night and the faded outline of a thinly veiled crescent rises from behind the cloud, you tell the time by the steps to your upcoming wedding. Or, as you have always known, counting down the time until you are sacrificed to an omnipotent nightmare — drowned in expensive drapes worth more than you could ever afford under normal circumstances. A thinly veiled façade to the dark reality lingering near in the future, one that you could not escape.

And when the moon reaches the line of the horizon, it is time for you to bathe atop the grandiose ferry, closed at the top of the ship where the light shines the brightest. You are careful to not damage the ornamental hairpiece gifted to you just as you departed. It is the only reminder you have left of your family — a sharp end and red rubies worth more than you could ever begin to imagine.

The stars come out to greet the skies, sterling silver brightly polished and you are already adorned in clothing much too extravagant for everyday wear. The finest of silk and pure white fabrics. If there is ever a time to laugh at the gods for their cruelty, it would have been at that very moment when the glow of silk struck the eyes of the maidens suited to assist you during your regrettably short stay in the galley.

White like the clouds on a summer afternoon — a pearl hidden beneath the ocean depths. White like freshly fallen snow on the first day of a winter's promise. White like the newly blooming chrysanthemums they would leave at the head of your tombstone when you do not return home, false condolences in their hearts as they pray to their callous God: "at least it wasn't me."

"It's traditional in Mondstadt to wear pure garments such as these." Is what they tell you. But you are not from Mondstadt, and these are not the colors in which your nation carries. It is not so much a celebration as it is a disingenuous mourn for your departure. You will not return from this journey, and they do not care for the outcome of your fate.

Sadness has found itself a missing hole in the place where your heart should have been. It collects in the voided emptiness and consumes what it can at will. You are much less inclined to listen to the world around you, and when the moon is at its peak in the sky, the captain informs you of your need to leave — you cannot prolong your stay on the ship any longer, the dead alleyways of Liyue Harbor threaten to devour you whole. Somehow, even though the city is growing distant, the glow of the lanterns never fade.

It is almost enough to make you laugh. A celebration for the sacrifice that will not prove to be enough. It has never been enough. It will never be enough.

And you learn, through the captain's endless storytelling, that the reason for such lengths every year stems from the death of your immortal god — centuries ago when he was banished from the skies and sent plummeting down into the mortal realm with a thousand words spanning declarations of war against all things living. In the midst of her retelling of the tale, you notice that she conveniently leaves out the word "sacrifice."

Nothing is said for as long as you can remember. All that remains is the sound of the ship as it glides through the open sea, leaving behind streams of water that you have half the mind to leap into and force your way back home.

"You're not afraid?" She finally asks with crossed arms and a lingering stare you can't quite discern, but the expression she gives you is one you can only assume is the mutual understanding of standing in the face of fear with not a single person to stand beside you.

Your eyes don't meet her gaze, arms folded together neatly as you stare ahead at the vast nothingness of cloud and sea the ship has left behind. The drapes of your sleeves will dirty against the wooden floor, but you have not the heart to care. You will soon be dead in a few hours time.

And so, in response to her concerned inquiry, you only shake your head absentmindedly, paying no mind to the way the ferryboat has stopped moving through the vast ocean and is now anchored against the abandoned docks.

"When I depart from this world, I want the guilt to devour them from the inside. For the glory of my name and by the will of the gods, may they never forget me for as long as time will allow it."

She says nothing in return and instead leaves you to exit the ship alone, gathered with the rest of her men and women as they watch you step slowly onto the wooden platform. And from the corners of your eyes, you watch the ship leave and disappear further into the horizon until soon it is gone like it had never existed in the first place.

The floorboards creak under your footsteps, and you soon come face to face with a lavish pool surrounded by a nest of qingxin flowers. There are no signs of life in the still waters, only the floating leaves of the overhanging willow. Something beneath it glows a brilliant blue, similar to that of the glaze lilies back in the harbor, a soft light that illuminates the desolate area just ever so slightly — a handheld lamp in a dimly lit forest. It flows further down the path into a small river, and as you have no other indication telling you where to go, you follow the stream.

If you were resentful, you would curse them for sending you to your early end. For knocking at your door and demanding you follow them whilst they grab at your arms and say, "It is your turn to appease the Gods" while offering no other explanation no matter how much you protested. The look on your mother's face is not one you would ever forget for as long as you lived.

Still, anger is a restless monster, and with your head held high and a resentment so bitter it would put the medicinal herbs at the pharmacy to shame, you put the past behind you and swear yourself to a life soon coming to an end. Would the people of Liyue Harbor remember your name? Were you just another woman fated to meet her doom at the hands of another celestial god tied to the burdens of your nation?

No, you would return home and they would congratulate you for breaking the cycle and surviving the journey. Your name would be remembered throughout history even after you have long passed. They would tell stories of your victory and hold celebrations in your name — for you would be the one to finally end the fury of a counterfeit deity.

Anger is a dangerous game, and so you hold the red lilies tighter in your hand and press onward before you are sure to make any mistakes you are sure to regret. Red for the blessings as a bride-to-be, and red to wish you the best of luck as you ventured into unknown waters.

Something inside you stirs awake in the deepest pits of your stomach and you take one last look at your reflection in the tepid waters before moving once again toward your imminent doom.

You almost do not recognize the person in the reflection. Decorated in flourishing robes and expensive fabrics that do not belong to you. It fills you with a numbing sorrow, lined with rows of teeth and threatening to swallow you whole as you dangle helplessly above the jaws of defeat. On any other occasion you would have been overjoyed, but no amount of persuasion would be enough to convince you otherwise — this was not a wedding that would end happily.

You reach the end of the winding river; a loud rush having filled your ears long before the water comes to reach its drop. It turns below into an enclosed pool of rushing falls, pouring straight down into a misted cavern with no end in sight. The fog has closed you in, and if there is a way out, down the falls is the only forward option.

From your place beneath the open sky, you can almost picture the gods in the sky, sitting upon their thrones in the seats of Celestia as they look down on you like you're a pawn in their game of chess.

What do Gods know of morals and heart? Ichor runs through their veins like that of crimson blood to everybody else, golden chalices filled with as much ambrosia as they so desire — "Everything in this world operates around the order of Heaven," as they say, reenacting highlights of your lifetime like court jesters at play.

And if Heaven would sentence you to the suffering of eternal damnation, in turn you would lift your head and curse them through the afterlife whilst the flames lick at your heels. A play in its final act, a resolve worth remembering.

So, when the moon's pale rays strike the light of the water just right, you would turn your back — and you would fall.

If you ask a god what he fears, he will scoff and tell you nothing. Mortal ideals do not appeal to the Gods, and their lives can only be taken by that of their kin — only a God has the will to kill another God. And if you are lucky, the gods will take pity on you when you die, and they will allow you to be reincarnated anew. Whether it be a human once again or an otherworldly creature away from the people. This time, however, you have a distinct feeling that you would not be returning to this world in your next life — if you were granted with a next life at all.

You learn this the hard way, when you are met face to face with the monster you are meant to be sacrificed to. Only to find a lonesome woman atop the floating hills of the heavenly abode — sitting quietly with her hands set to a prayer by one of the ponds. They swim with life, waterlilies and fish you have never seen before decorate the clear pools, and you find that you almost pity her.

You introduce yourself properly, only slightly annoyed when she ignores your calls and continues to sit in silence with closed eyes and folded hands — and it's only then when you take the time to take in her appearance.

In contrast to the marbled walls of her home, she does not live as lavishly as you initially assumed, dressed in simple garments with crimson tassels to match. Her hair falls behind her in a simple braided fashion, white and untouched and as if an artist had dipped their brush in a deep shade of charcoal at its extremities.

'Graceful,' is an appropriate word to assign her, as she carries herself with the beauty and elegance of a moon kissed crane — as reflected in the characters of her name written in the sand of the shores at low tide when she finally takes note of your sudden intrusion of her home. 'Shenhe,' carefully crafted with the penmanship you would expect from a young noblewoman joined together to create a script of poetic eternity.

You're left to your own devices soon after that short exchange, finding yourself dining alone in silence while servants scramble in and out of the large open-air sanctuary, various plates and fabrics towering over their heads. All the seats are brilliantly labeled with the names of gods and deities alike. Engraved at the edges of the table in sterling silver that catches the light of the sun.

The days pass by so frequently that you've lost count, has it been a week? A month? You haven't the slightest clue, nor have you the will to care anymore. The bowl of soup placed before you has long gone cold, bamboo slices floating aimlessly atop the thick broth. In your time here, you've learned to appreciate your surroundings a little bit more. To your left, an empty chair catching dust like the antiques of Liyue's shops. To your right, the open hallway that leads to the large atrium garden. Just ahead of you hangs a painting that covers a little more than half the walls — a large portrait that spans from corner to corner, fitting in it the forms of each leading deity of Liyue from Rex Lapis to Marchosius.

You find Shenhe in the front, her empty stare piercing your own even through the means of rough paint and even strokes. Some things never change, you suppose. In all your time spent, you've never once seen her without that monotonous expression on her face.

There is nothing left for you here, and so you leave with your bowl left unattended to on the dining table. It's in bad taste, and perhaps rude table manners, but your exhaustion has its limits, and you decide to leave it up to the scrambling houseworkers to deal with its remains.

Outside is much more refreshing, sitting against the towering platforms and watching the people below you tend to their activities. Watering the plants, feeding the fish in the small pools, trimming the overgrown weeds in the back gardens. All around you are surrounded by endless sky and the sea of clouds.

You dust off the fabrics of your outfit and peer over the edge. There isn't an end in sight, too high above the ground to be able to see anything below the density. Your frustration goes unmatched when one of the trailing silks catches itself along the branches of the blooming shrubs — entangled in the mess of thick leaves and staggered wood. Tugging against them does you no good, and in a brief moment of too much force, you lose your footing and fall backwards into the eternal sky.

You aren't sure how long you fell for, only that you were soon met with the arms of Shenhe pushing with you through the air in her grasp, and soon plunging into the cold waters of one of the natural pools.

Air is the first priority on your mind, pushing yourself to rise to the surface and exhaling harshly, coughing at the sudden force passed through your body. Shenhe resurges just near you, shaking her head from the excess water that trails down her face and giving you a stern, and rather irritated, glare.

"Are you humans always this reckless?" She asks through glaring eyes. You grip onto the edges of the pond, lifting yourself up to fall back onto the grass, breathing heavily and raising a hand to block your eyes from the light of the sun.

"How should I know," You hum in response, "I haven't been able to do anything with anyone since arriving here."

You judge that, maybe, your retort was a little bit too harsh — if the way Shenhe winces and falls back is anything to go by.

"Wait," you call out when she turns her back, adjusting your position to sit up "I was just–"

"Don't concern yourself with it," Is all she says in turn, stepping out from the water and wringing the water out from her hair, "Next time, be more careful."

Instances with Shenhe soon became more frequent than not, a regular occurrence of your newly adjusted life here in her otherworldly abode. You still haven't the slightest idea where you actually are, but you figure it's somewhere outside the borders of the normal world, where only gods and deities alike are allowed to wander — and those who are allowed within those walls.

Oftentimes you find her meditating on the hills, others you join her for a silent walk by her side in the extensive gardens. Most nights it ends with little to no words exchanged between the two of you — this night is no different.

You sit beside her on the iron benches afront the luxurious fountain, your mind unkind to you, and your thoughts swimming frantically around your head. The night is as quiet as it always is, and to pass the time you decide on picking at the petals of the nearby scattered flowers.

It's peaceful here, almost too peaceful for your liking. Were you not supposed to be sent away to a monstrous beast? Was this not supposed to be where you met your inevitable doom? Everywhere you look spells nothing but that of a lonesome woman living in a quiet solitude. And it seems she was enjoying her life prior to your arrival, as if you were only a rock at the side of the road, a bump in her path for a mundane lifestyle.

Surely there was more to this place than meets the eye — paradise doesn't exist, not in a wasted land like Teyvat.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Shenhe finally voices, almost as though she could read your very thoughts. You blink at her owlishly, quiet for no more than a few heartbeats when she turns her head to meet your eyes. "It's as easy as the way you came, why are you still here?"

"I, well," Your words get caught in your throat under her intense stare, and you feel yourself falling victim to her straightforward nature. "You haven't given me a reason to not want to stay, I suppose."

It's a lie told right through the clenched gaps of your teeth, whether or not Shenhe is aware of this fact you don't know — nor do you care enough to pay it any mind.

"Why don't you leave this place?" You query instead after the minutes of continued silence, "You don't seem very excited to be here."

Shenhe turns her head away, looking straight ahead with the same monotone stare that annoyed you more than it didn't. "My master has bound me to this place, I cannot leave."

"That sounds horrible," slips under your breath, and you pray she didn't hear your hushed curses.

"It isn't horrible," She comments in response, "I don't have any memories from my mortal life. I have no reason to venture out into the world."

You don't know if you pity Shenhe, or if you consider that to be one of the most horrible tragedies you've ever heard. "Don't you ever think about life outside of this place? There's not much to do here other than. . . Sit around."

"Then leave."

Her bluntness almost makes you drop the flower in your hands. You aren't sure what you expected from Shenhe, in all the times you two have chatted casually like this, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. "Do you want me to leave?" You walk the edge of the line, carefully balancing yourself against the odds and tempting the waters.

Shenhe is silent. "What I want doesn't matter. The only thing you need to worry about is staying out of my business," she finally settles on as a sufficient response. It isn't the one you're looking for, but it's enough to make you back down for now, and so you leave her alone for the time being.

Carefully you pull a spare lotus floating atop the fountain and shake off the excess water from the petals. When she isn't looking, you tuck it into the open space at the top of her braid. When she looks at you with confusion in her eyes, you only grin back mischievously.

"Lotus flowers," you state the obvious and she continues to glare at you unamused, "They suit you."

Much to your surprise, Shenhe makes no effort to remove it from her person for the rest of the night.

Shenhe is upset, and it's the most terror you've ever felt in your entire life.

You like to think of yourself as a person not easy to back away from the horrors of reality. You take what is given to you and you don't complain unless you know your succession is secured. But this is a battle you are not willing to take part in — never in a million years.

When she storms through the open corridors with a blizzard behind her trace, you know better than to intervene or try to stop her. Instead, you make your way to the second floor, carefully holding onto the metal railing along the walls.

The rickety floorboard creaks under your footsteps, and you pray that nobody comes searching for you, else you find yourself in a hole and unable to dig your way out of it.

Upstairs is full of dust and old debris, an attic of forgotten memories and relics turned to sand. The switch turns on a dim overhanging lamp, barely bright enough to fill the room with a low ambience — but it's enough to safely find your way through the old and rotting space. Cobwebs cover every inch of the unused corners, and you worry how anyone can find anything in this disgusting excuse for storage.

Beneath the covers of a tattered sheet, you find a worn down crate filled with ragged miscellaneous items. An old photograph torn and covered in dust, pieces of an intricate comb broken in two, the remains of a long rope crimson red and ripped at its edges.

And before you can shuffle through the contents any longer a cold hand grabs at your wrist, holding it firmly above your head with a grip as cold as the mountains of Snezhnaya.

Your eyes meet the cold gaze of Shenhe's, filled with a wide panic you've never seen before, not from her, at the very least. Her grasp doesn't falter, and out of instinct, you take a step back — timidly calling out her name in a stemmed worry.

"What are you doing up here?" She demands, ignoring your inquiries. A cold chill runs through the small room and through the nerves down your back. "I told you not to come up here."

You struggle to find the words to fight back, darting your eyes back and forth for any way to diffuse the situation else it escalates to levels you are not prepared for. Empty boxes, broken plywood, abandoned cobwebs. Shenhe is stronger than you, and no matter how many times you try to pull away, it never works. The more you step back, the more she steps forward, backing you into a corner.

"I was just trying to–"

"Trying to what? Involve yourself in everyone's affairs just as you always do?" She pulls you by the arm, cutting you off mid-sentence when you lurch forwards from the sudden force of impact. It's only then do you realize just how scary Shenhe is when she is angry. It's the first time you truly get to see her up close in such a state — sinister and unnerving and even though the inflections of her voice haven't changed, it's different knowing that what you coined as overreactions weren't such at all. Not in the slightest.

Not when the sky in her eyes darkens at the sight of you like you're the worst thing to ever walk this earth. She stares you down like you're just another nuisance to take care of — another insignificant bother that threatens the safety of her home. And when you finally rip away from her grasp and clutch your hand red and sore from the tightness of her grip, there isn't a word you have to say when she takes another step towards you.

The pieces click into place like a wooden puzzle — an uncomfortable shift in the air thick and hot and if you open your mouth for even a second, you're afraid you might suffocate on the heavy weight that is Shenhe's unforgiving storm. "You don't have any respect for privacy. I told you not to come here, so why?" She quips.

In the corners of the crumbling attic, only Shenhe can find the strength to render you speechless. The edges of your lips tremble in the dying light, voice caught in your throat and fighting the urge to spill the contents of your clouded mind. "I just–" you pause, cursing yourself for the stutter that barely slips by when you finally muster the courage to look her in the eyes again. "You said you didn't have any memories when you were a human, so I thought–"

"Did you ever think there was a reason for that?" Her hand blocks the other side of yours, trapping you against the open ledge. The more she leans forwards, the more you're forced to back away — legs pressed against the unstable walls and fabrics ripping with the rotting wood at your feet. "Did you ever think of the possibility that I chose to leave them behind?"

"Shenhe, I–" She grabs the loose silk at your chest before you have the chance to continue, shoving you at arm's length — yet still refusing to let go of her hold. Your heart knocks wildly against your chest, pounding against the cracked ridges of your ribcage. Knuckles tight and hands gripping whatever they can, and you pay no attention to the way the splinters dig into your palms. The pain is the last thing on your mind.

"Do you always stick your nose where it doesn't belong if you think it'll be helpful?" The woman taunts, narrowing eyes and a scowl so fierce you would cower away and hide in solitude if it meant she would never look at you with that kind of hostility ever again. "If I said you'd be more useful if you never showed up, would you leave this place?" When you don't respond, she fires again, "If I told you jumping out this window would save me, would you do it?"

Her body leans over yours, threatening and sinister and for once you're thankful for her naturally cold temperature. If she was any closer, you're sure you would've felt her breath hot against the skin of your neck — tilted and folded backwards over the open air, one slip away from falling into the endless sky. One more push, one more shove. One confrontation too many and it's more than likely to have been the last time anyone ever heard from you ever again.

"Shenhe," you call again, voice faltering and no louder than a whisper, "Please, I'm going to fall."

Bent so far backwards with a grip on the wood like your life depends on it — and for once, it really does. And it's only then, when the weight of the world finally comes crashing back down on the platinum deity. Like an axis spun too fast, like a meteor charted off course and headed straight for the most vulnerable target placed directly where her heart should have been.

And with trembling hands and wild eyes, Shenhe finally lets you go — stumbling back into the empty crates and broken boxes with a fear that could kill.

You finally steady your breath, staring down at your own hands now blistered and bleeding from beneath your skin. When you are left with nothing but bruised palms and battered fingers, you use what little tenacity you have left to bring Shenhe into an unstable hug — clinging desperately to the thin layers of her clothing and your head buried into her shoulder.

"I'm sorry," you cry, sullying her sleeves with your tears, an anesthesia that runs the functionality of her limbs frozen and numb. She stares down at you unmoving and afraid while you spill apology after apology, holding onto her arms like she might slip away if you dared to let go. "I didn't mean to," a plea gone unheard, "I didn't mean it."

When your hiccups finally quiet in the air, Shenhe finds the will to lift your chin and meets you eye to eye — yours with tears, and hers, with more guilt than you could ever visualize. "I should be sorry," she frowns and hangs her head down low, "I should've controlled myself. You could've suffered far worse injuries."

There's no point in trying to sway her any further, so instead all you do is shake your head and laugh it off with the tears still in the corners of your eyes. To which she only looks at you quizzically, wiping away your tears with a swipe of her thumb.

"Let's go home," you say through tear-stained cheeks and a smile that doesn't quite reach your eyes. Shenhe scans your face for a moment too long, but as she's always known when to withhold her word, she says nothing at all, leading you with only a hand down the rickety stairs, an affair gone long forgotten and the wooden doors taped off once again in bright red once you exit the vicinity, "'Our real home.'"

She grabs your hand again, though this time, it's much more accurate to say she's holding your hand as compared to the unforgiving grip she had on it previously — gently wrapping it within her own when the two of you exit the old building. Your words touch a hole in her chest she didn't know she had. A home, a real home. Could such a thing really exist for someone like her? With you, no less? It was hard to imagine, and maybe it was for this reason she tears herself away from you with fear in her eyes.

You call out her name in a voice of concern, and for the first time since she can remember, Shenhe has never hated the sound of it any much more. "I. . ." She stammers, darting back and forth towards your outstretched hand, the building behind you, the look of confusion on your face.

With no other option, Shenhe does the only thing she's known how to do since she was young — and she runs.

Hours pass by with no sign of Shenhe ever appearing in the sanctuary, it's like she was never there in the first place. Her presence erased from existence and her name a forbidden tone on the people's tongue.

You feel like how you did when you first arrived all over again — angry and apprehensive with no other ambitions than to come face to face with whoever you were supposed to be trapped for eternity with. Only this time she is nowhere to be found no matter how high or low you check, and no matter how many servants you ask.

It's only when you're alone in the greenhouse do you truly feel helpless in the situation you are left in. Alone you were sent off, and it seems alone you will die. You have almost half the courage and will to take a dive off the cliffs and live your life anew as a mountain dweller if it meant breaking from this hellish cycle of waking and bedding in solitude.

The adrenaline from your previous near-death experience soon wears off, and you're made all too aware of the throbbing rawness of your battered hands. They ache with the pain of a hundred bee stings, poking your nerves like needles digging into your skin — you begin to wish you had a little more strength to fend Shenhe off on your own, maybe you wouldn't be in this predicament if you did.

Luckily, the halls of the grand estate are relatively empty. And so, you sit yourself outside of a spare room with varying medical supplies scattered across the floor and an open bottle of disinfectant beside you as you try to unveil the tightly rolled bundle of bandages.

A loud crash interrupts your concentration and you jolt from the sudden intrusion, dropping the roll and being forced to reach over when it rolls over to the other side of the wall. The door opens, and before you have the chance to recoil, Shenhe is already lowering down to grab the bandages. The air is awkward, and no words are exchanged between the two of you. Only when Shenhe sits herself beside you do you allow yourself to relax — resisting would be meaningless, it's better to get the issue over with than drag it out any further.

"Give me your hand," she murmurs. Quiet and gentle like Shenhe has always been, save for just a few hours ago when you were forced over an open window just centimeters away from plummeting to your sudden end. It's like nothing happened at all, like you had just gotten yourself into an accident and she — like always — was there to pick up after your broken pieces.

You extend your arm to her, wincing ever so slightly when the rubbing alcohol comes into contact with your open cuts after the dried blood. It isn't the worst thing to happen, you tell yourself. And you suppose this was Shenhe's own unique way of making amends, no matter how unorthodox it may be, nothing she does comes off as a surprise to you anymore — nothing that could ever shock you any more than she already has.

"If you've changed your mind, and want to leave this place, I won't stop you," Shenhe is the one to break the silence this time, still tending to your injuries with a cotton swab, eyes trained on the cuts against your hand. "I won't stop you, and you don't ever have to come back here."

Something in you stirs — you turn your head to face her, but once again it's like nothing has changed. As far as you can tell, it's the same Shenhe that you've been accompanying all this time — no more, and no less. The air in the hallway is still, it's just you and Shenhe here — and even though you were the one caught snooping, she was still showing you the same hospitality as always.

She holds you with all the care in the world, fearful that one wrong touch would send you crumbling like fine china, as if you hold the key to the universe right in the palms of your hands. Her own gloves are torn and worn down, ripping at the seams and her own hands shake like a fawn learning to walk for the first time. You don't dare ask what happened during the hours of downtime between your last encounter.

The back of your mind whirls with every thought you possibly had to say. Apologies, comfort. anger, confusion — you aren't sure which voice you want to listen to, so you listen to none. Saying nothing when Shenhe's hold subconsciously firms up when you try to pull away from the disinfectant that burns your skin and stings your open wounds, and saying nothing when the bandages are wrapped a little too tightly around your joints. It's ready enough for them to keep moving — so you don't complain.

The tension in the air is as thick as the storms of Inazuma. You do nothing but pick up the scattered supplies and dirtied swabs in awkward silence. Shenhe watches you with a distinct look in her eyes — there is so much you both have to say, so much you want to say. This could possibly be the only opportunity you have left, and it's as if the world has been spun the wrong way around. Four hundred and sixty meters per second in the wrong direction — pulling you further and further away just out of reach.

When she gets up to leave you once again, you do the only thing your body allows you to do, and you grasp at the hanging silks at the ends of her sleeves. "Please don't go," escapes from your tongue, a desperate plea finally voiced, and the earth beneath you crumbles away into dust.

Shenhe spares you one final glance before giving herself to you once again. The two of you fall into another tight embrace, your hands dig into her clothes like it'll be the last time they ever will. "Why don't you run away?" Her voice cracks at its ends, broken and bruised and tired like you've never heard.

Your palms grow clammy and the urge to rip off the tight bandages suffocating your hands has never been so high, "I want to stay here," you force the growing pit in your throat down to the depths of your stomach, breathing through shaken breaths and heavy air. "I want to be here with you."

She hangs her head low, hand covering her eyes from being seen and refusing to meet your gaze. Sitting in the corner of the halls with a weeping Shenhe in your arms isn't how you expected to spend the nights of your summer, but summer nights have long been discarded by the destiny forced upon you. And if the fate of this world is to be engulfed by everything the Gods deemed Divine, then you would spit at their feet and prolong your struggle for as long as fate would allow you to.

Her voice is so quiet you almost have to strain your ears to hear her. 'Why,' slips out with a sound so heart crushing and so unlike Shenhe that it sends you plummeting like a meteor in the sky. Crashing down at speeds beyond your imagination and digging a crater meters deep into the stone of the earth.

"Isn't it obvious?" You reach up, cupping the sides of her face in both your hands and wipe away the stray tears that fall just as she did before. She holds the world in her eyes — they pierce the deepest memories of your heart, and you can't find it within you to look away. "I want a life with you"

She looks like she almost doesn't believe you, mouth slightly agape and trembling at the edges, "You mean–"

"Let's get married," You interject before Shenhe can continue her sentence, lowering your hands and instead holding them over her own, "And we'll have a real wedding this time. Just the two of us here, no one else has to be around for it." The weight of your future sits heavily on your shoulders. It rings around your neck and squeezes with every breath you take like a deadly serpent. There are storm clouds overhead and they hiss curses, a warning sign that this is a terrible idea. It stems from the roots in your chest and blooms up your throat spilling the contents of a broken promise without remorse.

"We won't have to worry about anyone else ever again," She softens at your insight, silent and still and if you were the only person left in the entire world, that would be okay. You lean in closer, a warm grin spreading across your face, "We could stay here, or we leave and run away somewhere."

"I don't care where we go," Shenhe presses her head against yours, closing her eyes in the brief moment of peace the two of you finally have. "I'll follow you wherever you fall."

'It's better for the both of us that you don't.' You swallow the lump in your throat, nodding your head absentmindedly before letting out a short laugh. Shenhe pulls away, surprised when she spots the tears in the corners of your eyes.

"Sorry," You hastily wipe them away with your sleeves, flush with embarrassment, "I just didn't imagine we'd ever be getting married."

Shenhe, for the first time since you've been introduced, gives you a smile that only Shenhe could have. "I never expected it either, but. . . I'm happy."

You laugh at her sudden declaration, "I think. . . I think I'm happy too."

The 'wedding' comes sooner than you anticipate, and the nerves that build up in your chest cease to die down.

It was just as you promised, only you and Shenhe were there to exchange your vows. It is much less a wedding and more so a new declaration of the certain love she holds for you. Regardless, it was better this way — away from all the judgmental eyes and dying whispers from those within. Shenhe has always been one to stray away from crowds, and you welcome her with open arms and praise for a new tomorrow.

The feeling is familiar in a way that brings you discomfort. The heavy silks that weigh on your arms, the expensive wardrobe that was never yours to begin with, the red flowers that clash with the pure whites of your garments. You find yourself in the same predicament as you were back then when you first arrived — naïve and unaware of the mess you were getting yourself into. If only you were smarter about it then, you wouldn't be reliving your final moments now.

But tonight is not one of dreary gloom. You hold the flowers with all the care in the world, lifting your arms just enough so the sleeves don't drag along the floor. Not that it mattered in the end, the ridiculously long outfit already trails behind you like a wild dog.

When you arrive at the hidden gardens, Shenhe is already waiting for you, adorned in a similar fashion. It's somewhat of a shock to you, seeing her dressed so formally after all the time spent together. She smiles at you again when you enter her line of sight, and you feel your chest drop to the deepest parts of Hell.

She greets you like you are the warmest thing to ever grace the planet, holding you in a close hug and grinning softly when you lean over to place a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Are you sure you want this with me?" She asks one final time, more for herself than for you, a check to make sure you're still there — that you're actually real, and not a part of her imagination.

You, in your swallowed guilty and trembling arms, can only offer an unassuming nod as a response. "Of course I do," you muster through choked out words and uneven breaths. In your luck, Shenhe makes no further comment about it, stopping only to slip the golden band around your finger — admiring in silence the way it slips perfectly through like a readily made fit. The ring shines against the falling light, and you force a smile through your teeth when she holds you tight one last time.

For once, you are thankful for the lack of a crowd. There is no one to ask questions, and no one to force words out of you. If you have anything to thank Shenhe for, it would be her reclusive nature — as much trouble as it has caused you in every event prior to this. But no matter what she does, you cannot fault her as much as you claim to. After all, you are both just pawns in a greater game. And whether or not she decided to play in it had nothing to do with you.

A room that was once hers is now yours to share — the large double bed now having a use outside of a comforting amount of space. It houses two people now instead of just one, and it will also be your first instance of sharing a bed with anyone besides your parents when you were a young child.

There's no longer any room for thought when Shenhe asks if you're tired. She is already halfway tucked into the bed, and you give her a lazy 'Not right now,' followed by a 'I'll be taking a walk around, I'll be back soon.'

In all your defense, you hadn't told her a lie. Half-truths never hurt anyone before, and the only thing soon to matter is that you finish what you came to do all along. Months of patience and lying in wait. Lying through your skin and saying only what mattered and not what you wanted. The golden ring upon your finger reflects the silver light and you almost have the heart to toss it away beneath the skies and lose it forever. It isn't as if you'll be needing it again any time soon.

Every room you pass you can recall in perfect detail — an old lamp that doesn't turn on anymore, the fireplace you've been told not to light on numerous occasions, the shelves filled to the brim with books you still aren't sure that anyone has ever read before.

Thirteen chairs along the uncharacteristically long dining table and a memory captured just beside it.

The kitchen, usually lively, is dead silent in the ungodly hours of night. Pots and pans hang on their displays, and you open the drawer just left to the sink and grab a newly sharpened knife. It fits smoothly in the palm of your hand — the metal shines against the light of the moon and your reflection mirrors within the blade.

Is it still worth it, you wonder. The thought pounds wildly against the barriers of your skull, ears ringing and bringing you to a dizzying close. Your mind reels from the pressure — half of you wants to put the knife right back where you found it, the other wants to dart straight to your shared room with Shenhe and finish the job.

In a desperate flurry to rid yourself of the impending guilt, you listen to the latter and force your way back to the sleeping quarters of the estate. A cold sweat runs down your back, and you have to keep reminding yourself that this is surely the only way to break free. You have made it this far; all you need to do is take the final leap.

Shenhe, as you predict, is asleep by the time you arrive. You remove the heavy sheets with more uncertainty in your entire life and climb onto your side of the bed, seated upwards right beside her unconscious figure. She is asleep on her back, heart exposed to the open air and the ringing in your ears return as loudly as ever when you finally find the strength to lift the knife above your head — clutching the handle tightly with both hands and eyes shut so tight fearing for the worst.

“—'re back. . . ?” Shenhe stirs from her slumber with a tired call of your name, and you halt in your movements caught directly before you can swing your arms down, your eyes wide with fear and darting back and forth searching for both anything and nothing at all. When she lazily rubs the sleep from her eyes, you know deep in your heart that it's already over.

In a panicked frenzy, you do the one thing your mind screams at you to do, and you bring your arms down with the force of a tsunami at bay — plunging the knife straight into the center of her chest.

If she let out any sound at all, it goes unheard of by you. The numbness overtakes you with the sudden impact, a strong pulse rushes through your head and forces your eyes wide awake as you're forced to watch the outcome with your very eyes.

And with a feverish high you force the blade out, silent and without a word as you swing it back into her, over and over again like a lifeless machine at work. Ruthless and brutal and you aren't sure if you were even consciously aware of the massacre at your very hands.

When you come back to reality, the sheets are stained and Shenhe lays unmoving at the edge of the bed, an expression you can't quite read hidden in her now glossed over eyes.

The adrenaline wears off not a moment after, and you drop the knife in horror, kicking wildly at the reddened sheets and desperately trying to wipe the blood off your hands. Light trickles through the open window and burns against the ring wrapped around your finger. Gold turned a smudged shade of rose and locked so tightly that you're no longer able to remove the metal from your hand no matter how much you twist and pull.

Panic resurfaces in the urge to hurl the empty contents of your stomach — the stench of iron fills your nostrils, and you hurriedly drag yourself away from Shenhe's corpse and rush out of the building, stopping only when you catch sight of yourself in the hallway mirror.

You're still dressed in the drapes from your previous vow exchange — now painted in crimson red and ripped at the corners. Inked in blood that does not belong to you, you are much less a bride and instead made a murderer of your own name. And all for what? A taste for fame? How would you face the people in the harbor covered in the sight and scent of blood?

You shake your head furiously — no, you were a hero, surely you were. No one ever made it back alive, and you would soon be the first. Surely that had to account for something, surely it wasn't all for naught. Cursed with a reminder of your crimes, surely that had to be punishment enough.

The moon is high in the night, just as it was the time you first set foot into the sanctuary. You step close to the edge of the cliffs again. Shenhe once said leaving was just as easy as arriving. And there was only ever one way that allowed you to enter.

There aren't any more doubts in your mind. Your people would definitely celebrate in your name. You, who saved the city from a millennium of suffering. You, who finally rid the beast's curse on your beloved home. You, who was sent on a journey to your death, only to return alive and victorious.

And just as the light hits the shine of the water's reflection, you turn your back, and you fall all over again.
