if only that was me.
Tumblr media
the beautiful sound of your laugh seems to echo in their ears. it’s almost taunting. taunting in the way that you’re always close to them but not in the way they hope. you’re with someone else - someone who makes you far happier and the one that you love so dearly. they would never amount to that.
so they attempt to banish these unwelcome feelings, but they just return even stronger. when you ask them why they look so lugubrious around you, they dismiss it as just being a little bit of fatigue. you - skeptically - leave the matter alone, respecting their wishes to not talk about it. if only you knew.
lingering glances, fleeting touches. those are the only things that happen. and they should be satisfied, no? selfish envy remains in their mind (much to their dismay) and they can’t help but glare at the one who has unwittingly taken their chance.
if only that had been them.

Alice in Wonderland
Tumblr media
----------
"Once upon a time...."
----------
The first Alice walked through the land of Teyvat. Bravely with a sword in her hand, she sliced everything and anything that dared crossed her, leaving chaos in her red bloody path. She was feared and respected by all.
The people will remember her wrath, her cruel smile, her self-centered attitude, and most importantly the sword on her hand.
Who could ever forget someone like that? Someone who sparks fear on others? The very mention of her name brought the high and mighty shaking on their knees. Everyone would always try their absolute best to stay on her good side or else... her sword would be the last thing you'll see. They would praise her, give her offerings and gifts, the lengths of what they would do to stay on her good side...
Through her might and unyielding wrath, she traveled far through her journey. But soon... her wrong doings came right back at her..
She stray too far and lost her way. Giving in to all her sins. Much like the gruesome path that she forged with her hands. Still....
Her life remains a mystery till this very day.
.
.
.
.
.
The second Alice was a tame and tender gentleman.
He helped those in need, he never lost his temper, he never talked bad about others, he's incredibly patient; a kind soul.
Such an enormous contrast with the first Alice.
The people would remember his kindness, his merciful acts, his pacifist route. In return for his deeds they would give him something in return despite how the man seemed uncertain of the gifts, claiming that "there's no need for such things."
What a kind soul... he can't even take a gift without feeling conflicted and guilty...
But of course.... you can't be kind to all.... sometimes kindness and mercy isn't the option...
Madness took ahold of him, shoot him dead to the ground. Blood stained the roses to a bright and somber red. Once loved and enjoyed by all, the man was left for dead
.
.
.
.
.
The third Alice was a lovely girl.
Beautiful, the girl was born into a life so grand. She charmed all the people to her beck and call. How could they resist such a charming young lady? Her smile is as bright as the sun, and her beauty rivals those of a goddess.
Through her charms she created a kingdom, an empire that would rise above them all! This Alice was then crowned turned into a Queen. Ruling all the people there... she lost herself in a crazy dream..
Previously a carefree girl, suddenly has the weight of a whole kingdom on her shoulders.. she must have gone insane by the sudden shift in power and responsibilities. Suddenly she's been made all aware of the things that didn't crossed her mind since the beginning. So afraid of death, the girl was mindless and warped.
The people would remember her beauty and charm.
Once a gorgeous ruler, now she's just an ugly corpse.
.
.
.
.
.
"So... what do you think?"
"...."
"What's with the silence, Alice?"
The man studied the other's expression before letting out a chuckle as he understood what he's thinking at that very moment. It was rather obvious. "Maybe I should start the next one~?"
"The fourth Alice was a pair of siblings who are twins. Straying into Teyvat—" "Shut up."
The man stopped as he glanced back at the man who stopped him with his story. "Oh? You don't want your story to be told? Your name echoes in their tales and songs?"
"You're telling a story of the past... this is not the past.. I—we—"
"Oh ho ho! Don't get ahead of yourself there, Alice~ You've fallen into this wonderland called Teyvat for how long now? 500 years? And now you're saying that? Don't make me laugh!"
"You two are staying here."
"Until we the Heavenly Principle say so."
"Until I say so."
----------
M. Reader as the Creator

"Now... how will your story end, Alice~?"

Shattered Devotion | ABYSS LUMINE X FEM! READER
Story requested by my wife / @gabyuu1
(She's currently simping over abyss lumine)
MEN AND MINORS DNI
Y/n falls for Lumine, unaware she's an abyss princess. Lumine manipulates Y/n's love, playing the vulnerable damsel to gain unwavering devotion. The truth shatters Y/n's world: love was a lie, a tool to make Y/n a puppet for the abyss's return. Now, Y/n, a weapon of love turned cold, serves a monster disguised as a lover.
Monstadt's winds, once playful companions, now whispered a chilling truth through the dying leaves: Lumine was a wolf in sheep's clothing. The warmth that had bloomed between them, the shared laughter and whispered secrets under starlit skies, now felt like a cruel mockery.
It wasn't a sudden change. It was a slow descent, a subtle shift in Lumine's golden eyes that mirrored the encroaching abyss. Cryptic pronouncements about destiny and forgotten power, brushed aside with playful nudges, began to grate on Y/n's soul. Lumine's touch, once a source of comfort, now sent shivers down her spine, a mix of desire and unease.
One starlit night, perched on the very edge of Windrise, Lumine confessed, her voice tinged with a melancholic allure. "The Abyss calls to me, Y/n," she murmured, tracing constellations with a finger that felt like ice. "It offers power, a chance to reclaim what was lost." A single tear escaped her eye, glistening like a fallen star.
Y/n's heart ached. Was this the Lumine she knew, the one who shared dandelion wine and whispered dreams? But the vulnerability in Lumine's eyes, a vulnerability Y/n ached to believe in, was too potent to ignore. "Together, we can find another way," Y/n pleaded, clinging to a sliver of hope.
Lumine's smile faltered, a flicker of something cold crossing her features. "Don't be naive, Y/n. You wouldn't understand the burden I carry." The words stung, laced with an accusation that chilled Y/n to the bone. Was her love not enough?
Days blurred into weeks, the tension thickening the air between them. Lumine's pronouncements became demands, pronouncements of a twisted destiny that gnawed at Y/n's sanity. Yet, with each passing day, Lumine's vulnerability seemed to deepen, a master manipulator tugging at Y/n's heartstrings.
The final blow came on a stormy night. Seeking solace within the familiar walls of the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Y/n stumbled upon a hushed conversation. It was Jean, her voice heavy with dread, speaking of an ancient prophecy – an abyssal princess destined to return and claim her birthright, bathed in blood. The name sent a jolt of terror through Y/n: Lumine.
Tears, hot and stinging, streamed down Y/n's face as she confronted Lumine. The playful facade shattered, replaced by a cold, predatory smile. Gone was the damsel in distress, the vulnerable woman Y/n had fallen for. In her place stood an abyssal queen, her eyes burning with a power both familiar and terrifying.
"So you've finally pieced it together, my darling pet," Lumine purred, her voice laced with cruel amusement. "But fear not. Your unwavering devotion has earned you a place by my side. Together, we will reshape Teyvat in our image."
The love Y/n had built, a foundation of trust and shared dreams, was a twisted cage all along. Despair threatened to consume her, but amidst the crushing weight of betrayal, a chilling realization dawned. Lumine never needed her love; she craved her devotion, her unwavering loyalty.
Y/n, a puppet on Lumine's strings, became a weapon, a harbinger of the abyss's return. The warmth in her heart, once Lumine's haven, now echoed with a hollow emptiness. The woman Y/n loved was gone, replaced by a monster who used affection as a leash, leading Y/n, not towards a future, but towards an abyss of her own making. Tears streamed down Y/n's face, not for Lumine's betrayal, but for the love that never truly existed, a love sacrificed on the altar of a dark god disguised as a lover.

500 Year Long Identity Crisis (Yandere!SAGAU Various/Reader)
A/n: Advanced happy birthday Ayaka/2nd anniversary everyone!!! I put quite the effort into this fic to celebrate lol.
Characters present in this chapter: (Main Focus) Traveler!Aether, Baizhu, Dainsleif. (Briefly Mentioned) Yelan, Albedo, Kaeya, Zhongli, Venti, Abyss!Lumine, Enjou
Cw: yandere self-aware genshin au, "impostor" reader, gn!reader
Unreliable synopsis: The traveler received a strange commission indirectly from a government official. Although, it seems their azure-glasses-wearing guide is far more interesting than the quest itself.
Hysteric Humanoid (Yandere!SAGAU):
Side Story I - The Longest Devout Believers (this short story will be uploaded in a few days.)
Chapter 1 (You're here)
—---
"He who leaves a good name does not die poor. Remember that well, Your Grace!"
------
Tumblr media
Everyone you encountered in your travels wondered what you would look like without your azure-tinted sunglasses at some point in their lives. Whether it be random passersby or your "closest" confidants, not a single soul knew what you looked like underneath the accessories you wore. This eccentric trait of yours made plenty uneased, for each time someone tried to pry into your privacy, you were quick to quip more riddles for them to lose sleep over.
As expected, today's appointment with the traveler was no different.
Aether couldn't tell what to make of you when you entered the restaurant. You covet too many cultural accessories, more so than Tighnari's infamous mess of a getup. Yet the only somewhat recognizable article of clothing was the fur scarf around your neck. However, this is only because a certain Mondstadt cavalry captain wore something similar. Only this time, this scarf had more love put into its handiwork than Kaeya's.
At least you balanced his abysmal first impression by offering to pay the bill.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. They call me "Jianfeng". I'm a temporary tax accountant here in Liyue. It's a pleasure to be working with you."
The traveler noticed your gloved hands extended. Almost every part of your body was covered, indicating that you made a concerted effort in covering everything up. He couldn't tell what color your eyes were underneath those glasses. You don't fit in in the bustling main metropolis of Liyue Harbor, let alone Wanmin Restaurant, and Aether doubted that you'd be able to blend in anywhere else.
You looked like an eccentric Fatui Agent. Almost. But even bad guys in uniform had better fashion sense. Are you trying to look worse than criminals?
The traveler didn't like you right off the bat.
If he were to guess, people “call you Jianfeng” because they don’t know your real name.
"It's... Nice to meet you too." Aether hesitantly shook your hand. His eyebrows furrowed.
Your hands were as cold as Albedo's.
That fact alarmed him.
Not long ago, he discovered Albedo's true nature as a homunculus and met his clones. In that handshake, he felt your flesh holding his, and he might dare say that you have unique human characteristics, yet your rigidness makes you appear more like an entity. Aether eyed you quietly.
What if you were one of them? What if behind your blue-tinted glasses, your eyes are composed of chalk? 
Aether doesn't believe you are human. He had already concluded who you were after this little discussion. You're either a doll, a clone, or an exuvia. However, he couldn't explain why he thought it was the third guess.
"They call you Jianfeng? So, is that not your real name or...?" 
Paimon asked what he was afraid of saying.
He didn't even notice that you already pulled your hand away. Aether's hand was trembling. 
You used up all the self-restraint you had left so you won't narrow your eyes at her. He's already suspicious enough. You know that look well. His sister had that expression, too. Their faces bespoke knowledge and experience that free-spirits have. This is no time to let your guard down.
The traveler is a lot more perceptive than you thought.
You felt a tiny hand grabbing your hood. 
"Do you need to wear all these clothes? You're not weak to the cold, are you?"
You flinched as you came face to face with a starry-eyed "pixie" tugging your earrings like a newborn baby. You gently smacked her away with one hand. Have you been slacking on training so much that Paimon, of all people, nearly yanked your hood off? You must have given her a menacing look since the cowardly critter scurried behind the traveler right after.
She's a lot nosier than you guessed.
"P-Paimon!!!"
Aether's eyes went wide as he slammed his hand to cover his traveling companion's mouth, not even bothering to look behind him. If he wasn't already a famous figure, you would've noted that the two traveled adequately enough for him to hit her lips intuitively.
He may appear shocked, but he is nothing but calm in assessing your character.
So, you don't like it when people grab your clothes. You're hiding something.
"I'm SO sorry about Paimon!" The blonde man squeaked. "She can be a bit tactless."
"No, no. It's fine. I enjoy talking to blunt people." You chuckled. "Makes my job run a lot smoother, especially during busy seasons. Though, I would greatly appreciate it if neither of you would strip away my clothes. We don't have an intimate... friendship."
You shook your head, realizing that your reply sounded like something Kaeya would say.
"I hope you're not assuming that I'm here to talk about tax return preparations. I won't press you about anything related to taxes. Besides, I'm a bit off schedule and I don't have time snooping into your business."
Paimon audibly sighed, Aether not so much.
"So you're not going to ask about tax evasion...?" He muttered.
You didn't quite catch that. "What?"
"N-Nevermind that!" Paimon giggled suspiciously. You've heard the traveler had done around Inazuma and for the sake of keeping his heroic ventures alive, you turned a blind eye in this case. 
It's not like you can jail a video game protagonist for tax fraud anyways.
"I asked for your audience because I would like to hire you for a special commission." 
You cringed for a brief moment before clearing your throat. 
"Actually, no, that doesn't seem right. SOMEONE from The Civil of Ministry Affairs wants to hire you for a special commission, and I happen to be nearby for SOMEONE to dump this workload without consent. I have a life of my own, so expect me to make this quick."
"Civil of Ministry Affairs..." The traveler glanced at Paimon.
"Ooh! Ooh! Is it Yelan?!"
The small creature loved to hog the conversation, but her slip-of-a-tongue proved to be quite helpful in this instance.
"Yes, precisely. Huh, I thought I'd have to make a roundabout excuse as to why I can't disclose who your client is." 
You slid the files onto the table's surface. Aether didn't seem phased by the enormous red CONFIDENTIAL text stamped on the folders and quickly took a look without your authorization.
"You have three days to decide. Look for me at Bubu Pharmacy at around six to ten pm. See you then."
Yelan often visits the pharmacy in disguise, so if she ever doubts you, you might as well prove her wrong. You stood up. You can't be bothered to stay longer, lest you want Mingbo's ire.
"H-Hey, hold on, Paimon can't understand this!"
"Then hire someone that can. Yelan insists that it's an important mission. It's imperative that you must perfect this task." 
Your departure was as quick as your arrival, and you spared not a single second more to entertaining the traveler's questions. 
Was it out of false confidence that he could decipher scholarly pages or pure indifference? Neither Paimon nor Aether knew. What bugged them more was not the fact they couldn't understand the files without Paimon reading through a dictionary for the foreigner, but the proverb you whispered right before you disappeared.
"Remember to paint the dragon, then dot the eye."
-----------
Cursed hands roamed the severed threads of your hood... until they slowly traveled down your neck, squeezing lightly.
"Your hair, your face, your body, your eyes..."
You shivered.
As you've heard, eyes are a telltale marker of neoteny. It speaks for how you've aged without saying a word and expresses everything humanity desired. Nonetheless, you did not pay attention to these sermons. What you heard is nothing more than a dirty craving for eternal youth, similar to a corrupt man's desire to deflower what is absolutely still and Celestia's desire to demolish a prosperous nation.
Man or Heaven– it did not matter which, they all wished you gone.
All you have left is him. For he remains as your soft glow at dawn and the sword at your side.
He spoke into your ear. Strands of his light hair stroked the nape of your neck, enticing you with his closeness. He shades your view of the burning nation in front of you with one gloved hand. Someone as frail as you, in his opinion, should not squander their eyes viewing a despicable final act.
His somber voice was an epilogue– a closing narration to humanity's greatest achievement. 
And Khaenri'ah's end starts with you.
"Every inch of you is under my protection."
His breath was uneven, much like his tearful visage. You did not permit him, but his head rested on your shoulder, soundly defeated. From that moment forward, you were the only person he could touch without feeling guilty about his curse, for better or for worse.
"But we must continue this path. It's far too late to stop…
"I beg you, My Lord. Don't go anywhere without me."
-----------
"Are you sure the traveler will say no? I must say though, you're very bold for tampering with Yelan's files, (Player Name)."
"Stop calling me that," you gritted your teeth. "You know damn well I despise that name, doc."
The person who asked you was a slim doctor who ground some medicinal herbs on the countertop. Considering how he says the name (Player Name) without any thought of divine retribution, he's a bit of a heretic, like you.
The doctor's name is Baizhu, renowned for his work in the Bubu Pharmacy. 
He appears fragile but make no mistake: disagreeing with his methodologies is futile. Baizhu is by no means a friend but you wouldn't want him as your enemy. He's the only one who knows of your "unique" constitution, and therefore the only one who can tinker with your body. At least, the contract says so.
Baizhu met your eyes with a small, scheming smile.
"In all honesty, Jianfeng, your hatred for The Creator will bite you one day. You can't hate them forever."
You grunted.
Yes, yes you can.
The crest of Khaenri'ah rests in your pupils, daunting and pure. Looking at the mirror feels awfully naked without your glasses since your reflection haunts you. The symbol weaved in your eyes echoed the voices of those who were there long ago. 
You were naught but a primordial being shaped like the one that played behind the "screen". You were a Khaenri'ahn offering, an homage to this "player" figure you'll never understand. This flawed birth process is your bane. You were molded into their ideal human Lord, one who wielded power beyond the Archons and Celestia itself...
The Creator. 
(Player Name).
Your homeland revered this one entity. In fact, your master made you in their image, not as a person but as a walking sculpture. Nonetheless, you aspired to be The Creator whom anyone would be glad to share a room with. You worked hard to be considerate and kind... But playing the role of a saint is pointless in the nation of agnostic men.
Khaenri'ahns do not rely on Archons or their doctrines, but they recognize that your very existence was blasphemous.
It would've hurt less if you hadn't deluded yourself that you had a chance. It didn't matter how much love you offered when those sentiments did not reach the masses' hearts.
Because you'll never be their image of (Player Name). Even if you inherited their intellect and insights of the future.
You would've loved your countrymen as they grew wrinkly and unrecognizably older. You would've given them the kindness they deserved. You would've forgiven them for all their flaws. Because you know you see them as who they were.
But why couldn't they have thought the same for you?
Oftentimes you wondered if it was their eyes that stalked you when you first left your cage. More often than not, you lie awake at night wondering what made (Player Name) so valuable and what made this human, an imperfect and mortal thing, more adored than you will ever be. Try as you might in racking your head for an answer, dead men tell no tales.
And where did all the love that you gave got you now? Scared of your own faux body. Paranoid and pitiful.
You just want to be loved. 
By anyone.
"... Jianfeng? Are you crying?" Baizhu said in disbelief rather than concern.
You sniffed and hastily smudged the tears behind your glasses. Baizhu made his way towards you with a hand that eagerly patted your head. Changsheng, who's normally abrasive, slithered on top of your shoulders and gave you a cold hug. They didn't ask why you were crying. You spilled your heart out to him long ago, and he's not a forgetful person, unlike his little helper. 
You snickered weakly.
By the looks on both their faces, you could tell that they know your true identity.
But you don't care.
After all, it was Baizhu who gave you your new name. And "Jianfeng" suits you just fine.
"Me? Crying? You need new glasses." You sniffed.
"Hmm? Oh but darling I think my diagnosis is spot on."
"If I was crying, shouldn't you realize that you're the problem?" You half-heartedly quipped.
His smile faded. Before Baizhu could say anything witty in response, Qiqi, with her stubby legs, opened the door in her tippy-toes. 
"Jian… the traveler is here…"
You gently patted Changsheng's head, silently motioning her to go back to her master. 
"Will be there in a sec."
---------------
Aether was curious as to why you chose this to be your meeting place, but after seeing Baizhu trail behind you, he formed a concrete assumption as to why.
The doctor had a hand draped around your shoulder. You two must have an "intimate friendship."
"Before we give you an answer, Paimon has a few things Paimon wants to ask!"
You expected as much. "Sure, go on then."
The traveler sat in one of the free chairs and you did the same.
Baizhu took a seat behind the counter. Given his frail constitution, he isn't the most imposing man in the room, but his look was something else entirely. The doctor observed the traveler and his companion stealing your attention.
Paimon may be dense, but Aether isn't.
Aether couldn't speak when Baizhu's snake-like eyes tilted like a blade under his chin.
"Are you from Mondstadt?"
"Huh? Er... No. Why did you think so?"
"You have the same scarf-thing like Kaeya– he's The Knights of Favonius’s Cavalry Captain."
You've met him. The Creator knows him as well. They frequently controlled his body before swapping to someone else after "wishing." Aside from that, you two correspond letters frequently. Kaeya sends notices whenever a certain fellow countryman concocts drinks at his brother’s tavern. Hence, you consider him a close confidant.
But you'd rather not share that information.
Kaeya likes to keep his friendship with you as one of his dirty little secrets.
Last time someone found out about you, the cavalry captain knocked him out. You never saw Connor again after that.
"Maybe we have similar tastes. I did visit old Mond before, but that was because I wanted to see the Great Wolf, Andrius..." You sighed.
Paimon quickly moved on. "Are you sure you're a tax accountant? The traveler hasn't seen you on Liyue's list of graduates."
They must have obtained the information through Keqing. That lady has reservations about everything, from your golden shrimp balls to Rex Lapis and The Creator. You were skeptical of her at first, but she welcomes any criticism that borders on blasphemy. It made you wonder why she only revealed that information now and never interrogated you before.
"This carp had jumped the dragon's gate before you arrived in Mondstadt, pal. I studied in Fontaine and got my license a few years ago." You sipped your chamomile tea, lazily pointing at the papers on the table. "See? I'm rather upfront about what I do."
Except for the fact you graduated nearly fifty years ago, under the name "Faust."
"Paimon thinks it's because you don't exactly look like a government worker, Jianfeng..."
"What do I look like then?"
"Well, uhh... Paimon can't say..."
"Exactly," you sat up straight. "A man cannot be judged by looks, much like seas cannot be measured by a cup."
"Another Liyue proverb..." Aether muttered.
Jokes on you, they DID hire someone to simplify the documents. In addition, he asked Zhongli what your departing words meant moments prior... Admittedly, Aether's not ready to sit through another thirty minutes of him discussing what you meant this time. One literacy lesson is enough for one week.
You wouldn't know about all that. You avoid Morax– he calls himself Zhongli nowadays– like Hilichurl camps. His new appearance does little to fool you. Based on The Creator's insight, he had faked his death. The last time you had talked to him, he tried to kidnap you, so the only Archon you have the slightest semblance of trust for is Lord Barbatos. 
Speaking of Lord Barbatos, you're sure he'd love what you'll say next…
"Do you want a Fontaine proverb? Sure, here's one."
The travelers muffled their groans. Baizhu laughed heartily while Paimon pressed her head on her palm.
You chuckled.
"The robes don’t make the monk. If you can't label me from my looks then I shall do it for you. You're travelers, yet you've not seen all of what Liyue has to offer. This is what Jianfeng, a humble tax accountant, looks like, and other people in my profession can appear similarly if they chose to. What matters more is how we perform. The end."
The two travelers looked dumbfounded. 
Good. What you said was total horseshit.
"Paimon doubts it's as complic– umm, easy as that..." She droned on. 
The Creator's insights were right. Paimon is the noisest character in this "game." By then, you couldn't care much about what more she had to say. Instead, you handed the traveler a pouch.
There's no other choice than to send them on a wild goose chase.
"Yelan told me that you have no deadline in tracking The Creator down," you squinted. "But I'm no kind person. As the Liyue saying goes: return a loan on time and borrowing again will be easier. I'll only give you a daily allowance for two months. That's the only favor I will grant you."
Paimon floated near you, a lot cheekier this time. "But won't that be a pain for you?"
"How come?" You tilted your head.
"You're... Joining us, right?"
You went silent.
"Huh?"
Baizhu chuckled. He and Aether sidelined the entire conversation, yet they caught on rather quickly.
The traveler spoke, his voice was subtly smug.
"Mx. Accountant, Yelan put your name in the contract as our travel guide. And you already signed it."
------
Great, now you’re part of the wild goose chase too. Damn you, Yelan. Damn you, Wupei, for dressing up as a Good Hunter delivery boy. You can't believe she outsmarted you. Why did you even sign it– food deliveries don't ask for signatures and Mondstadt is miles away. Just because you've seen most of Teyvat for the past 500 years does not mean you have the qualifications as a travel guide– much less for a place that's a giant underground cave full of unanswered questions. Or a cave where the souls of your countrymen loitered, more specifically. 
Baizhu was concerned about this and, uncharacteristically, offered to accompany you. You explained that he would be a liability if he joined, and he reluctantly agreed. But not before doling out an inordinate amount of medical herbs to make you smell ancient (and you are.)
Nevertheless, the three of you squandered the hours skulking around the cramped confines of the Chasm. So far, you've provided minor historical context and directed them to a few shortcuts as the traveler brandished his weapon.
It's also worth mentioning that, when compared to his sister, Aether's swordplay falls short. As Lumine would say, "Aim for the neck." He swings more defensively than she does, and his range is shorter. You're no expert, but after more than a century of traveling with two fierce sword masters, you couldn't help but nitpick.
You grilled him about his sword abilities a few times, and he responded with sugar-coated remarks about your unusual outfit. His attempts to discredit you were poor, but hearing him speak is a rarity enough. You didn't mind his comments. In comparison to Lumine's snarkiness, he is more straightforward and pleasant.
"The coast is clear– This should be the place the Creator was last seen," you muttered. "Allegedly."
"Ooohhh!!! Paimon is so excited!"
Aether grunted, sharing her sentiment as a typical voiceless protagonist. His childlike wonder makes up for his lack of speech as he walked past you.
You watched him run without looking back for both you and Paimon.
Unsurprisingly, he was most excited– he's the twin The Creator chose. You would be ecstatic too if the person who set you out on an exhilarating journey came returned. The difference is that you would probably curse them for it. 
"You don't look happy for someone who's gonna see The Creator, Jianfeng," Paimon said. She nearly tugged your hoodie before stopping herself when she noticed you glaring.
"Um. You okay?"
"Ah, sorry. I didn't mean that– I'm fine." You palmed your forehead. "Just a bit light-headed."
"Do you wanna take a rest for a while? It's not good to force yourself. We can't greet The Creator if we're exhausted! You gotta look like your best self! You don’t want Them to see you like this, do you?"
You smiled weakly. 
Just shut up, Paimon.
"Right. Right."
"Hey, is this the location?"
Aether pointed to a place with a light source.
You gulped.
“That's right.”
“Oh wow! Paimon heard that They like these mysterious white-blue flowers! Paimon doesn’t know what it's called though…”
As Aether knelt to examine the odd flower meadow, you attempted to mask your uneasiness. The flooring in this spot was soft and fragile; approaching the flowerbed risked breaking it. Yelan's reports were correct, but they shouldn't have been. After all, these are--
“Inteyvats.”
Paimon and Aether looked at you.
Your eyes didn’t tear away. You were frozen from your spot.
“These are called inteyvats.” You said, lips trembling. Your forehead creased and you grabbed your arm while looking at the batch of flowers, tense. “They are Khaenri’ah’s national flower… They're a symbol for wanderers far from home–”
Your face paled and your hand began to sweat.
It seems like the Chasm-Yaksha story quest happened before "Requiem of The Echoing Depths." But why?
How come Aether knew who Yelan was, but doesn't know what inteyvats are?
You shook.
Stop talking. Stop talking. Stop talking.
If they’re here then... Maybe That “Creator” is actually around here too.
You've never met Them before. Strange how not once did you both cross paths when you supposedly share the same face. But just because you haven't met them yet doesn't mean you want to. 
All your muscles tensed up while your eyes squinted as if searching for a dead nation from far away.
You stepped backward.
"Hey, watch out!"
You had a mini heart attack as the steps gave in. Aether reached out. You were unable to grab his arm and Paimon's futile attempt to pull you up by your hood failed. 
You tripped. 
Unsteadily kneeling up, you unusually saw the world had taken colors way beyond an azure hue. It took you seconds before realizing your predicament.
You went completely still.
Your azure spectacles are cracked and out of reach. Your hood was lowered. All that was covering your head was a cotton face mask. The luminous stones gave your (h/c) hair an unwanted spotlight and your imperfect (e/c) eyes displayed fear in full view.
They could see your eyes– your face. No words were further spoken.
… Oh.
Aether's eyes widened and his chest sank as it heaved at the realization of who he was blindly following into the depths. He stepped forward and his dull blade clanged, subtly reminding you of his repertoire.
"JIANFENG IS THE FAKE CREATOR?!" 
It all happened way too quickly.
Paimon screeched as she lividly floated beside Aether. She had been stomping on air with her clenched fists. Neither of you truly heard her.
Because from then on, you were enemies.
Aether unsheathed his dull blade.
You drew what you thought and hoped was your last breath. It had been more than 500 years, and you longed for a moment of respite. 
If you were just another body that got in the way between the protagonist and his goals, then so be it. You'd gladly throw yourself into his blade and die as you've been dutifully commanded by the threads of fate.
"Jianfeng…" The traveler spat your fake name with malice as he sprung toward you in a single step. 
He managed to slice your thigh.
"I shouldn't have trusted you."
You winced.
You've compared how different he acts compared to his sister the entire time, but this was the first you've seen their startling resemblance. 
Aether looks just as numb as Lumine when placed into the role of a villain. He didn't look like an animal that wanted to tear you to shreds– he looked disappointed. 
You reluctantly walked backward, gritting your teeth as he skillfully slashed in your direction. His attack on your leg stung, and your hand flew to conceal the wound. 
As expected from a silent protagonist, he seems to know that the smallest sentences bite the most. But his words are meaningless. You knew Aether only said it because of the rumors about you. He wouldn't know the wishes of those who died with lingering regrets as much as you and your previous traveling companions. 
All he has is lip service and surface-level heroism. A facade that is slowly deteriorating ever since Inazuma.
You could dodge his attacks easily. In one flick of the wrist, you could bounce him off, but…
Many moons ago, you made up your mind on how you wished to go. You will not cower away and accept judgment with resolve. Retribution is coming to pass and with livid breaths, you'll let Aether draw his blade. You longed for the sweet release of death to be under this world's rightful protagonist.
However, in a blink of an eye, a fluttering grey cape obstructed death's view.
CLANG!!!
Blonde hair. 
A dark violet mask. 
Unmistakable starry eyes. 
And a long, pointed cloak.
"How... How did you get here?" You whispered breathlessly. 
He must've emerged from the wormhole below this platform.
The blonde gave you an all-too-familiar look that says he knows all that he needs to know.
The traveler froze in shock while the third person dashed in to capture your waist before he scooped you up in one quick motion. His body felt cold against yours, much to your dismay. 
He briefly exhaled through his nose; his stamina unaffected. "I'm always watching."
"Tch."
You'd call him out for being arrogant, but you know he's telling the truth. This man gathers knowledge as if his life depended on it- and you wish you had a better comparison because there is no life within him other than an amalgamation of pure jadedness.
The blonde man keeps this world's secrets, and no amount of proverbs will make you more seasoned and knowledgeable than Dainsleif, the Bough Keeper.
And this all-knowing yet curious individual appeared both pissed and enamored.
First and foremost, he is furious at Aether for performing such an atrocious "stunt." To draw a blade against the one to whom he vowed vassalage served to make his heart race for the worst reasons. Yet, Dain still has his patience, courtesy to his immortality, and you by his side.
His eyes searched yours. Longing for some shred of blissful recognition you might've felt after meeting him again but couldn't ignore the engulfing dread that settled in your irises.  You could tell he was fighting hard not to melt under your touch.
Dainsleif promised before that he would never disobey his lord’s commands. He was true to his word and never once appeared in the past few centuries
But seasons change.
He made his choice. Dainsleif pulled away.
"My memories have all but faded, but I know that underneath those clothes, you're still the same person, my Lord." 
His gaze was smoldering. The Bough Keeper did not take one step closer, but the way he stared at you already felt suffocating. He didn't and he won't come close. His Khaenriah'n eyes sufficed in expressing the loneliness he dealt with when he traversed Teyvat without you. He didn't have to hold you tight. His presence is intense enough.
You thought you were the one monitoring his actions through Kaeya, but Dainsleif had always been the better stalker.
You don't know the hell you put him through by leaving him on his lonesome.
Dainsleif smiled delicately. Had you never traveled with him, it would've been an unpredictable expression. As much as you hate reminiscing about that era, you know that he reserves that look for you alone. He was elated when he saw you wear the scarf he gave you.
Skinning that cryo abyss mage was a lot of work.
You should've thrown it away, but you couldn't, not when it was one of your good memories with him and her. Not when he worked tirelessly to master sewing just for you. 
Now there's no way he won't assume that there's more to it than keeping warm.
"Lord (Y/n)..." 
Dainsleif's voice was still soothing.
Aether gave him a strange look. He didn't think of him as the kind to address someone by that title, but then he remembered that Dainsleif was once an honorable knight. He just didn't know that the Twilight Sword used to serve you. Nor did he know that (Y/n) was your real name.
"Stop." You commanded, but your shaky voice betrayed you.
You haven't heard that name in a long time.
"... At last. It's been a long time, hasn't it?" Dainsleif awkwardly spoke as if you both lacked time.
How dull. The three of you always had enough time.
And you have already picked a route to follow. Having the Creator's wisdom already gave you an advantage in predicting what would happen, and each day made you wonder when your paths might diverge. You didn't deny fate when it arrived. Lumine chose the Abyss Order, while Dainsleif seek to oppose it. 
They were both suffocatingly possessive. If Khaenri'ah shunned you as a heretic creation, Dainsleif and Lumine prized you as their hysteric humanoid.  They both desired you, but neither was willing to share. They tugged and pulled as if you were not capable of thinking for yourself.
And what did you do? You opted for a strategic retreat. You have no malice against Teyvat but no will to save it either. After knowing that your old companions represent these two sides, you wanted nothing to do with their metaphorical coin.
As a creature abandoned by its nation, can you be blamed for having no plans of carrying the burden for those who died and survived?
You shook your head. 
"You reek of corruption, Twilight Sword."
He grunted, and yet he pretended not to hear you.
Dainsleif pushed you behind him, eyebrows knitted together as he glanced at your leg.
"Don't act tough," he said, despite tracing traces of his curse with his free hand. "Stand back, you're hurt."
Aether struck first. 
"HIYAH!!!"
Dainsleif parried effortlessly.
He smiled, realizing what he had done. 
When alone, he's the Bough Keeper, but with you, he stands firm as the Twilight Sword.
"Why are you helping them...?" Their swords clashed against each other in a temporary stalemate. "They're the impostor! They're dangerous!"
Despite his grievances, you were somewhat proud that Aether took your advice to heart when he swiftly aimed for Dainsleif's neck. Even if his efforts were futile.
He's no longer angry, just confused. Aether thought to himself that if Dainsleif is keen on protecting you, then are you his sister’s enemy as well? 
But Aether wasn't sure if his views aligned with his sibling. 
"Not to brag, but your form is poor." Dainsleif retorted, pointing vaguely at Aether. He pursed his lips, unamused, before slashing Aether's defenses in one strong cut. 
Dainsleif kicked him down, forcing him to gasp sharply. His heel dug into the flesh of his cheek. Paimon shook afraid as she watched her companion weakly grab his opponent’s heel.
The Bough Keeper’s eyes darkened. He only had one thought in mind while Aether pathetically wormed under him. 
Any man who believes in baseless rumors does not deserve to bask in your presence.
"If my memory serves, My Lord could barely pick up a claymore or hunt a boar. It would be hopeless for them to try and beat you in a spar.” He said with a faint but recognizable teasing lilt. “I'm simply standing in for them."
You could disagree with his claims if you wanted, but he'd reply with a subtly sarcastic "that would be a miraculous development, indeed." Dainsleif never trusted that you can protect yourself because that's what he was there for. But you're done using his services.
Aether pushed Dain away and distanced himself. His bruised cheek and bloody nose could not deter him from his new mission.
The traveler tilted his chin upward. “Dai–”
"Kill me, traveler."
The men flinched.
You walked to your fallen enemy, not caring for how Dainsleif caught your wrist.
"Take my life– before he tries something funny."
After sending Dainsleif an accusatory glance, he pushed you aside forcefully.
"Traveler, your battle is with me."
“I’m your target!"
Dainsleif's face hardened, glaring at you. 
You smirked. You can't help but wonder how much 300 years alone had impacted him. He used to be so careful not to offend you and so remorseful when he did. Seems like the captain would bare his fangs with just about anyone that stood in his way. Including his old master. You were happy about this development, yet sad all the same.
You’ve grown tired of everything too, haven’t you, Dain?
"Paimon is so confused, please stop it!"
No one listened to her.
“Traveler, you’re looking for the Creator, right? They’re not here. I lured you here to kill you.”
Dainsleif sneered. “They’re lying. It's possible that everything is under your sister's orders to redirect your path.”
“Lumine has nothing to do with this. I’ve lied about many things but this is not one of them.” You lied nonchalantly.
Aether faltered.
"You know Lumine?"
Dainsleif gripped your shoulder. “(Y/N).” 
You huffed and elbowed him. “Shut it, Dain. Your corruption is beyond saving. Don't butt in like this is about you."
"Ngh..."
Dainsleif's eyes softened, visibly stung by your words. He bit his lip and looked at the floor for a brief moment.
Aether and Paimon were speechless. They did not expect you to speak so harshly nor did they expect to see him look hurt.
You looked back at the traveler.
"Traveler, why don't you prove yourself worthy of being the main character and take us both out?"
Paimon shrieked and palmed her cheeks.
"W-Wait! Why don't we all just talk instead?!" Paimon screamed.
"Paimon's right."
Aether sheathed his sword back. You and Dain met each other's eyes, before staring at the traveler, confused.
"Jianfeng..."
His hand shakily pointed to your leg.
Saturated blood oozes from your open wound. No means a regular sight and unwise to call it a vibrant hue.
Your blood glitches. 
It spills, yet evaporates into thin air. You stared at your wound as if it wasn't yours. You forgot that you were supposed to cover it, but–
Would a normal person's blood look like red-black cubes?
There's only one other person Aether knew had red-black cubes. 
And it was the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
"Was I wrong…?"
Aether's knees buckled, shaking. His eyes stared up apologetically, mouth agape.
Tumblr media
"Are you… The real Creator?"
...
Dainsleif went rigid. He felt the air shift but he needn't look behind. The Twilight Sword knew you didn't like that question at all.
Your expression dampened.
The Traveler had successfully provoked you.
"My Lord, please stand back." 
The silence was unbearably long.
And then, you clicked your tongue.
"No." You said firmly. "No, I don't think I should."
You stomped your foot.
And the Chasm trembled.
The floating mushrooms scurried for a place to hide as the unstable foundations of the upside-down city crashed their weight down. The floating debris shook and fell in the sudden momentum– asphalt slimes shriveled and the cave's miniature plateaus slipped like pencil shavings with a thunderous thud.
Rubbles echoed every moment or two, threatening to collapse.
You can't think of a better way to answer him than this.
In one stomp of your foot, the underground mines shook as much as an ancient dragon's tantrums. There was no visible effort put into causing this phenomenon. 
The air began to weigh heavily.
You stole Dainsleif's sword without him noticing before pointing it beside Aether's neck. You looked down on him with your chin up.
There was no divine work in play, no illusions, no elements. Every Archon both dead and alive knew that your measly power cannot summon the elements.
But gravity is in your hands.
"Enough." You commanded, voice cold and piercingly authoritative. "Just kill me, traveler. Kill me and go on your merry way, before I end this game right here– before the Chasm crumbles."
"Your Grace–"
Aether begged, kneeling on small shaky pointed rocks.
You let out a guttural groan, exasperated. He heard your throat strain itself as you answered him bitterly.
"WRONG. I am Their Impostor. Teyvat had abandoned me long ago. I bore no "divine" power nor "will" of my own, instead, Rhinedottir molded me to Their likeness."
If you told him that at the restaurant, Aether would've believed you. Your aura was akin to Albedo's, but there was something the chief alchemist lacked.
Divine blood.
You inched the blade closer. The blood that spilled from his neck was unlike yours. It was red. It was shapeless. They were not cubes.
"T-That doesn't sound right!" Came Aether's shaky reply. "You HAVE to be The Creator, Y-Your Grace! No one else can replicate your blood– and the way you shook the Chasm just now it's–"
Aether speaks like Lord Barbatos.
"And so what?"
"H-Huh?"
Enough.
You've heard this multiple times from Kairos.
Your blood began to boil.
Stop talking. Stop talking. Stop talking.
"So what if I look like Them? If I have Their powers?" You said, eyes lifeless. 
"So what if I'm The real Creator? Do you think I'd come back? After how this world had treated me? That I would graciously fix this realm's problems. Am I a tool? A plot device like you? Do you think I'll motivate the Knights, help Morax find a replacement, reverse Inazuma's grievances, reinstate Rukkhadevata's form and dignity with the oh-so goodness of my heart?"
Aether gulped. He did not speak. You were right.
The Chasm continued to shake.
You gritted your teeth. "The greed in your eyes disgusts me. You've traveled far enough, surely you know how inherently selfish this world is? Aren't you tired, Traveler?" 
There's one more thing hidden within his eyes that you forgot to mention.
Aether cried.
It was regret.
You put away Dainsleif's sword, clanking it down the floor. You smiled crookedly and cupped Aether's cheek,
before reaching for his neck. 
"If you can't bring yourself to kill me, why don't we both stop breathing, together?"
"(Y/n), that's enough!"
Dainsleif ordered. 
The vibrations stopped.
You didn't know what came over you. Was it survival instincts? Baseless hope? The desperation in his voice? Or a fragment of trust you had left from when you traveled with him?
Dainsleif reached his hand out. His frown was not a display of toughness, but genuine concern.
"It's no longer safe here. The Abyss Order has sensed our movements and I can tell they're heading our way. We'll leave. Now."
His hand looked welcoming, warm, and enticing, but your heart was not in it.
Your eyes wandered elsewhere.
You recalled a distant memory from long ago. Barbatos often told you that "He who leaves a good name does not die poor." and you wondered why. And so, you foolishly lived more than a hundred human lives in search of a proper answer. Immortality devours the soul, and you expected that after the fifteenth life you may not grasp the true meaning behind his ramblings.
But at that moment, you looked at Aether’s pained eyes and got your answer.
Ah.
"I got it."
You took a step back near the cliff's edge, facing the two men. Dainsleif gradually prepared himself for a sprint. The faint crunch of your shattered glasses resonated through the cave, and if you took another step, you'd fall.
Yelan's reports state that there should be a portal below this platform. It should be the same place Dainsleif warped from.
You're uncertain that it's still open.
But hey.
Haven't you always wished for something that only has a 50/50 chance?
"This is my farewell as Jianfeng, a tax accountant."
You jumped off with a big stupid grin.
For a brief moment, Dainsleif felt as if icicles were pressed against his internal organs. His eyes widened.
"LORD (Y/N)!!!"
He did not hesitate– your most loyal retainer dashed forward like a wild animal and jumped with you.
Aether watched how his Creator sank deep into the Chasm from above in pure horror.
You lost yourself.
This was the stupidest asspull you've ever done in the past 500 years.
You roared with laughter as Dainsleif pulled you close to protect you from the fall. He longed to hear your laughter, but this sound was disjointed and airy– an inexpensive imitation. Dainsleif closed his eyes and groaned almost inaudibly. He's been starving for your touch, and he can no longer hold back. 
Dain snuggled against you, his fingers tangled in your hair. You smelled like violetgrass.
Tumblr media
"I'll never leave you alone again." He whispered desperately, wanting to add that this was his new oath but couldn't due to lack of air, something you had plenty of. You did not hear it. All you heard were the flaps of his cape.
The air pressure prickles into your skin. As you both plunged into something similar to the abyss, his hands roamed around your back, keeping your scarf in place as he planted a soft kiss on your forehead. You did nothing to stifle your misplaced laughter. 
You wanted to tell her that you finally understood Barbatos' proverbs, his everything. 
The portal should close soon, but you'll both make it.
Should your body rot away in the depths of Chasm's shallow wind, you hope to witness the endless cycle of life again without those azure-colored lenses–
"You can't leave me. Never."
–as no one else but Lord (Y/n) (L/n), and their most loyal retainer, Dainsleif, the Twilight Sword.
—-----------
“Your Highness, it appears that Dainsleif had captured Your Grace.”
“Traitor, but he kept his promise.” She spoke, not in a way that betrayed any emotions. The Princess said it as what it was: a fact.
In one hand, the Princess poured herself a glass of wine, elegantly gulping the contents in one go. She couldn’t be bothered to hold it with both hands when the other held a priceless artifact. Once she placed her empty glass on the silk-covered table, she lazily beckoned the Abyss Lector forward.
“Burn all the inteyvats left in the Chasm.”
The Lector, Enjou, hesitantly raised his head. “But Your Highness–”
“I did not cultivate them for my brother to find.” She said, looking at the cracked azure shards sitting on her palm. “It was for Them, and you failed to lead Them there.”
The Abyss Princess lovingly kissed the broken shards.
“I wonder…” Lumine looked up.
"What is it like to finally see the world without these glasses, Your Grace?"

Hi❤️💙🥰
I wanted to req for abyss lumine x sub reader, where lumine is a mean dom as she degrades the reader and fucks them crazy🤌
Idk y but i am really getting crazy thinking abt this 🤩
Thanks ❤️🥰
Hiii!! First thing first thank you for your request! This is my first time writing a meandom! characater so i hope it will good! AND OMG ABYSS LUMINE I'M SO DOWN BAD FOR HER 🥴. Also sorry if this will not enough long and remember that my first language isn't english so sorry if there will be any grammar errors! Enjoy!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Abyss meandom! Lumine x sub!reader
tw: reader calls Lumine master, choking, mention of nipple play, overstimulation, sub!reader, meandom!Lumine, pet names (puppy and pet), degrading kink, slight spit kink, reader has no specified genitalia, slap face (literally just once), reader calls Lumine mommy.
"M-master please" tears running down on your face as your breath hitches when you grind against Lumine's knee. How many times did she edged you? 5? 10? maybe even more than that if it it was possible, and if you remember well since your brain was just a blank space to all the pleasere you were feeling.
"Awww pet, look at you, so cute with all that puffy eyes from crying" she says, smirk on her face as she pinches your nipples. A gasp leaving your lips as you search for more friction. You were, once again, so close.
"Do't you dare cumming, puppy" her hand now having a tight grip on your chin. You look her in the eyes, tears continue to run down your face.
"Master but I- mhp" a moan leaving your mouth as Lumine touches your bottom lip and then purting her tumb in your mouth.
"Good puppy, i want you like this. Suck on my thumb and we'll see if you're good enough to cum"
You watch Lumine with puppy eyes. You could feel yourself becoming wetter and wetter and the knot in your stomach could snap in anymoment, desperation on your face as you try to beg Lumine with your eyes.
Lumine laughs. Not gonna lie but she was getting wet just by watching you being so needy and desperate to cum. She also loved how you could be so submissive.
As you were cumming on her knee she fakes a dramatic gasp.
"Ow puppy..What I told you? You could have just waited a little more and you would cum. Naughty naughty pet" she shock her head, like if she was deluded by you. She gets behind you, cupoing your cheeks.
"Now what about I keep edging you for all the night?"
You whine. You wish you could reply but your orgasm completely made your mind blank, only moans and gasps leaving your lips.
"Y/N, answer me" her tone stern as she gives you a little tap on your cheek and then a slap. You moan and you swear you become much wetter.
"Master, please, please I beg you, pretty please" tears coming out of your eyes once again.
Lumine kisses your neck, one hand on youe check and the other squeezing your chest.
"I know puppy I know" she sighs as she licks the hickey on your neck. "Well, since you're begging so so cutely what about you cum, mh? You want to cum for your mommy? Pleasing her by being a good little pet?"
"Yes mommy, please. I can be your good pet and cum for you. Wanna please you." You move your hips, in search of something to give friction. You wanted to be her good pet, making her proud of you. Her hand coming down to your chest and going near to where you needed the most.
Lumine's hand now playing with your sensitive part. Lots of moans leaving from you. Lumine gasps in your ear, almost as a way to mocking you and making you cum faster.
"Look at my good pet, there you are baby. You're so good for me, arent' you?" she kisses your head as you move your hips faster and faster, the knot in your stomach was, once again, to untie.
"M-master ah..mhp..fuck yes...I'm cumming, i'm going to cum ah~..Master" you whine and a loud moan goes out fron you lips, hips tremblimg as you cum.
"There you are, mh~ such a good little baby for me." Lumine takes your face and kisses you, gasps and moans leaving both from both of you.
There's a string of saliva when you two interrupt the kiss.
"What you say after your master makes you cum?" she asks, an eyebrow raised as she waits for your response.
"Thank you, Master"

I have a great SAGAU idea (if anyone wants to write it, let me know);
The Creator! Reader and Teyvat! god, created the the land of teyvat together. Teyvat!god created the land and most plants (not including the regisvines, which both created together) and Creator!reader created the people, animals, creatures and elements.
(For simplicity sake, I’ll be referring to Reader as just “Creator” and Teyvat!god and just “Teyvat” for the rest of this post)(Also I’m using an f!reader for this, but you can make it go!reader if you want)
Anyway, along the journey Creator and Teyvat fell in love and decided to create something of their own, while Creator thinks of the people and all the other creatures of the land her “children”, she and Teyvat decide to have a child of their own that can help take care of their creations. So Creator and Teyvat have a baby but the process drains both of their energies, so Teyvat becomes one with the land itself, creating a sentient Teyvat. Creator looses a physical form and goes into a long sleep state to regain her energy(basically a dream world where she grows up with a normal life in the “real world” and forgets she was the Creator).
What happened to the baby you ask? Well as it turns out, Creator and Teyvat didn’t have ONE baby, but had TWO babies, Lumine and Aether, born with the power of the stars of Teyvat. As it turn out, Creator didn’t only help with the construction of Teyvat(the world) she also created the multiverse (other games) and Lumine and Aether inherited her power to travel between worlds.
So the story would start with Creator waking up in Teyvat (maybe in Mondstat) and IMMEDIATELY the land itself seems overjoyed for her to be there. And maybe there is an imposter, maybe not. But someone (not a playable character) accuses Reader of pretending to be the Creator and chases her off, then the npc calls one of the playable characters to investigate. When Character finds the so called “imposter” the only thing they can think of is “This is 100% the Creator, not only can I feel their warmth, (like when the Reader played with the character back in the “real world”) but they are surrounded by dangerous creatures and they are not being attacked.” It doesn’t hurt that Creator is sitting on a swing made of vines that seems to be pushing itself with no breeze (Teyvat loves Creator, and is 100000% a simp for her) anyway Reader has already started getting back her memories but they are a bit jumbled and hazy, so Reader convinces Character to help her hide until she can regain all her memories. Eventually when Reader remembers her children she HAS to find them (unfortunately she cannot talk to Teyvat, because Teyvat knows where their children are) and Creator goes on a quest to find them, and eventually teams up with Lumine (traveler) and when Lumine tells Creator her backstory, Creator finally starts to realize who Lumine is.
If anyone wants to use this idea feel free, just let me know or tag me. Also you can pick any character you want, but I imagined Kaeya when writing this. I would love it if you do NOT make the twins hate their parents. Also some cool things you could add;
-Obviously Teyvat knows that the twins are their children, why else do you think Traveler is always finding chests all the time? Not to mention all the resources that the Traveler needs always seem to pop up in their path when they need it!
-In Creator’s absence, celestia (who creator created) tried to take over more (when the cat’s away the mice will play) and Khaenri’ah only worshipped the Creator, not an archon, so celestia ordered the archons to destroy it and cover it up by telling their people that the Khaenri’ah people were bad.
-The Creator’s main symbol is a star, that’s why the twins have a connection to the stars, that’s why when we make wishes they appear like falling stars, and that’s why Khaenri’ah’s symbol was a star (with most of its people being born with a star somewhere on their body, like Kaeya and Dain’s pupils, Albedo’s neck. It’s also why Abyss mages have diamond patterns on their clothes) and that’s why you see a Diamond pattern a lot in Teyvat.
-I personally would LOVE to see a scene where the kind, caring and merciful Creature absolutely DESTROYS celestia for the slaughter of Khaenri’ah.
-I would love Creator to be kind and nurturing but super sassy and sarcastic too, but you can make the personality whatever you want.

Foolish Love
a/n: b4 u read this, this has no plot, I won't continue it, and lumine may or may not be canon. I have no idea. ok bye.
Princess Abbys Lumine x Reader
____
"My biggest mistake. It was loving you." You choked out, as Lumine, no no, Princess Lumine held you by your throat.
"Foolish girl, were you that dumb to think I would ever love you? You were but an asset to me." Lumine smiled, and oh gosh, she looked like an angel. Keyword: looked. Only an asset. You were only an asset to her.
Tears slipped down your cheeks, endlessly as Lumine kept on caressing your neck. You betrayed everyone, everyone, for her. All to get this in return. You betrayed the Knights of Favonius, your family, your friends, Aether. Just for this. For the love of your life to admit you were an asset. You could feel your heart breaking, piece by piece. The more Lumine talked about her 'grand plan', the sicker you felt. Why? Why must this happen to you? What have you done? What did you do to deserve this?
"I-I.." You hiccuped, "loved you. I loved you." You said, your words becoming wobbly. "I...loved you, y'know?" You smiled sadly, as tears kept on falling to the ground. Lumine laughed softly, "That was your mistake. I only want to find my brother, and thank you for making me come closer to my goal." She threw you to the ground and walked away.
She looked back and said, "I never loved you." Maybe it was just you, but you could see some tears in her eyes.

Me the Waman guy, i love Wamans, happy women's day to all. My Ask would be affectionately asking for M!Reader returning from a mission completely wounded, going to the kitchen, giving a kiss in (Character you feel comfortable writing) and saying he missed her and refusing to let her go

ANYWAY. I’M A SIMP FOR THE TRAVELERS. SO I CHOSE LUMINE 😭 except there’s a catch,,, tis abyss lumine <3
𖦹 angst (moderate to heavy), death, fluffy in the end, abyss lumine, fairytale allusions
Tumblr media
“Sire, the opposing force have been dealt with.” the Abyss Lector behind you had a hint of somberness in its voice. And even then you can understand why — your current expedition in accordance to the current plan of the Abyss Order did not exactly go off so well. There were vision holders brave enough to fend off you and your comrades.
Though it took their fickle lives away in the end, that did not mean your party suffered some collateral damage. It wasn’t the prettiest battle after all, and as your greatsword stayed planted on the ground littered with gallons of spilled blood from either parties, you can only grieve for your comrades.
“…Okay. Thank you.”
“Shall we get you treated, sire? You’re in quite a bad shape.”
You drew in a deep shaky breath as your long gone adrenaline aided you in feeling the most excruciating pain all over your body. You weren’t a clumsy man on the battlefield, but some of the weaker links had to be protected, and you figured it’s either them or you — and a captain never yields in front of his comrades, nor does he allow them to perish when he’s close by.
But even then you couldn’t find yourself completely able to treat these wounds, allowing them to fester within you like a parasite that gnawed and destroyed your body from the inside out. You’ve had plenty of battle scars already, that much you couldn’t particularly deny — but it’s the sheer fact that today was somehow managed to hit you harder than the most, that there was a blatant realization of the fact that today, you lost many of your men.
You honestly wondered how you can even sleep at night at this point. Your fellowmen, cursed with the eternity of immortality and with you all the same — for centuries you’ve had to witness everything, every death, every betrayal, and every conundrum knock you down.
But you would endure it for her. Your princess. And as her knight, you would do well in not dishonoring her name, you would keep waking up in that accursed morning if it meant you could aid your beloved princess in her mission — even if it meant you had to bear these scars your whole life… until this curse is lifted from you, until you can’t take it anymore.
Your silence was enough to worry the Abyss Lector, you were normally on the move, constantly walking around to check on whoever survived, supervising every little thing, mourning your fallen comrades. But today, you were so quiet, and even the Abyss Lector could barely hear your shallow breathing despite the little distance between the two of you. Concern lingered on your subordinate as you stewed in silence.
“Sire? Shall I carry you to the infirmary?”
Taking one last breath, you shook your head, “No, thank you. Let me bear the wounds that my brethren bled for a little while longer.” Your hand grasped the handle of your greatsword, pulling it out of the ground, with a consistent strength that you could never lose even after the most tiring battles. “It’s the least I could do.”
If your subordinate could openly express himself to you right now, you would’ve seen the way his eyes softened yet gleamed with pride for you. No doubt that the princess choosing you as her champion was not a mistake in the slightest. For the great strength that you bore came with absolute sympathy for the men around you — leading them to victories with your quick-witted strategies and boosting their morales with the glory and valor you emanated.
Truly the princess deserved someone like you.
Slinging the greatsword over the sheath that hung on your back, you finally turned to your subordinate, eyes glinting with determination and persistence like always, “…Alright, let’s get to work. Run me the statistics of all results, I need to see how many survived and how many died, we can base our next counterattack against vision holders from there. Bury the casualties in a grave… as despicable as they are… they still deserve a proper one.”
The Abyss Lector had no problem adhering to your commands as well as everyone else who can still move and do your bidding — and just like that, with the captain up and running again, the Abyss Order was back on its gears, ready to complete the mission.
Out of all the things that happened, you managed to accomplish the mission that was given to you, heading back into the depths of abyss to aid your wounded comrades, still refusing the many help offered to you from your other subordinates. The princess was nowhere to be found, no doubt making some arrangements herself somewhere else. And much after tending to everyone else, you finally found yourself walking back to your own home.
Perhaps there was something relatively odd at the sight of the great captain of the Abyss Order lugging around his greatsword deep in the woods. You should know, considering the fact that the Abyss became your home. But the humanity left in you was enough to convince the larger part of you that was consumed in darkness to retain some form of normalcy, to live like any other human right now, despite being completely ostracized from the society.
Your home was quaint and peaceful, deep enough so that no wandering adventure would stumble upon it. You’ve heard plenty of stories from some others — apparently some of them had the audacity to loot through some villager’s crates and even steal some root crops.
Nevertheless, it was the escape that you sought from your work. You never needed a little abode like this, you were perfectly fine in the depths of abyss, stewing in it, facing any harbinger that might have descended into it and some poor unfortunate soul that stumbled in unknowingly.
But what you didn’t expect was the smoke coming out of that tiny chimney protruding from the roof of your home. And as if there was a switch flipped within you, suddenly you regained your senses and could smell the faint aroma of that familiar herbal tea that you often shared with your beloved princess.
“Ah… she’s home…”
Your pace picked up and entered your home quick, and you were facing the illustrious princess of the abyss — your beloved, the woman you would absolutely die for and only live to ever serve, was there brewing some tea.
Lumine was far into her own world as she basked in the silence of your shared home. Admittedly, she was surprised when she saw that you managed to make enough time to construct a formidable home in the midst of the tasks she delegated on you. And when she was faced with such a place, warmth only managed to spread through, greatly reminding her of her times with her brother.
She had known you far before she woke Aether up, standing in as the personal knight of one of the most prominent noblemen in Khaenri’ah, protecting him and his lonesome self. Many times had she encountered you when she and Dainsleif had to cross blades with you before because of your neurotic employer.
Who would’ve thought that you would end up working under her in the Abyss Order — much less for you to be her most cherished person now other than her brother; with the countless nights she has spent in your arms, limbs entangled with each other and the bedsheets, living through this quiet forest like a carefree couple.
Lumine jolted as she felt a pair of arms snake into her waist, holding her tight. The familiar warmth engulfed her back and she couldn’t help but lean into your tender hold, closing her eyes with a content smile.
Up until she smelled a faint scent of blood — her eyes flew open and looked down to see your arms that embraced her form, your sleeves torn apart and hacked away with dried blood. She grimaced at the sight of your wounds that would no doubt leave yet another mark on your skin.
“Hey…” her soft murmurs reaches your ears and you can feel Lumine’s gentle hands tracing against your forearms, “You didn’t get yourself patched up?”
She never bothered asking if something went south. She’s intuitive, she can infer that beyond your exhaustion, there was somberness in your arrival. And she can only imagine what happened in that assignment that she sent you and your subordinates back on.
She would mourn them for you and with you. They were her comrades too, after all.
You can only stay silent as the bitterness that enclosed your heart gnawed away at your insides like a pest. Your grip around Lumine tightened as flashes of your men dissipating in ashes appear in your mind like a flash of a kamera, drawing in a shaky breath, you can only nuzzle your nose in your beloved’s soft blonde hair, inhaling that familiar scent that never failed to bring you solace.
Lumine pressed herself further into you as she understood your refusal to let go, her hands slithering under yours before bringing them up, leaning down to brush her lips on your wounds into a sweet kiss — it won’t be enough to heal, but it’s enough to make you feel much safer and better.
“Look, the sunset is directly in view of our window,” Lumine calls onto your attention and you were quick to look up from her tufts of hair, your gaze finding itself fixated on the setting sun that peeked through the tiny window of your kitchen. “I believe that’s everyone about to go to sleep with the stars. They’re saying goodbye to their captain.”
A laugh escapes your parched throat, “Don’t make this any sadder, love.”
“I’m not. It’s a resolution,” you can feel her head shift to the side and lean on your shoulder, her eyes glued on your face, “Something that you need.”
You shook your head, “You know me so well.”
“It’d be crime not to after a good five hundred-odd years.” Her laugh tinkled and the pain that you harbored was slowly being alleviated, leaving you completely breathless yet so full of life at the same time. It was why you admired her so much, and why you of all people are willing to go with her until the ends of this god-forsaken world.
“Now come on, let’s get you cleaned up. It’s almost tea time.”
You stilled in your place despite Lumine’s words, staying rooted as you continued to bask in the lovely orange hues that filtered through the windows of your home, head lolling to drop on her shoulder before you pressed a kiss on the side of her neck.
“Just a little while longer.”
“…Until the kettle starts screaming.”
“I can deal with that.”
It’s times like these that can have you forgetting the fact that you weren’t a cursed being, that you weren’t serving under an Order that’s paving a path of vengeance and salvation. It’s as if you were back in Khaenri’ah, back before the cataclysm, back when you first felt your heart thrum against your chest the day you and Lumine clashed blades against each other.
For once, there was peace and tranquility that nestled in your heart.
And even amidst the whistling kettle, that couldn’t stop you from planting a kiss on her forehead, “I missed you, Lumi.”
But even Lumine thought a forehead kiss was a bit too cheap, as she grabbed onto your cheeks pulled your head further down, meeting your lips halfway with a chaste and tender kiss.
“And I, you, my love.”
This is a testament that even fairytales can come true, with the princess and her knight in shining armor finally settling down in a nice home to hold their love and memories with each other.

“..One string broken by a close family, replaced by another friendly figure..”

SPOILERS ON We Will Be Reunited Quest AND A BIT OF SUMERU’S STORY QUEST
This is Lumine as the traveler btw
.
.
.
.
Swords hitting one another fighting, defending oneself, fighting an Abyss Herald as of self defense. As it tried to escape by making a “portal” Dainsleif used his elemental power catching them before it enter, but a mysterious sword suddenly came out of nowhere and was ready to attack Dainsleif but lucky he was able to dodge it in time. The traveler’s eyes widened on who drew the blade…
It was her brother..
.
“C-could it be..!?” Paimon spoke stunned. “Aether!” Lumine yelled out loud that the walls echoed from her brother’s name, “I’ve finally found you!” “Wait your brother and the abyss..” paimon looked at you a bit sad. “Lumine, why are you with Dain?” Aether spoke looking at you irritated. You and paimon looked at each other in shocked from that question your brother asked, Lumine asked herself why does it matter if we’ve been separated for so long and he chose to asked you this.
“Aether..We meet again.” Dainsleif spoke. “WHAT!!” Paimon shouted “You and the traveler’s sibling have been!?!?” Lumine looked at Dainsleif and back to her brother, her own brother with the abyss? “Lumine..until my plans to engulfed the thrones, my war with destiny will see no end.”
Confused…Lumine was so confused on what their brother was saying..a war? She was scared and trembling with thoughts on what he was doing. “Once you have reach the ends of your journey just as I did, you too will see the true nature of this world.” The abyss herald was now making a portal for them to back to the abyss, “Though we need not rush, brother. I have more than enough time to wait for you. If you do try to process to stop the abyss,” Aether turn and stopped to finish. “then I will no longer see you as my dear sisters as before all those years ago.”
Lumine heart ached from that sudden thought her own brother thought? Him seeing their own sibling, his own sister as a family member? Lumine started walking towards Aether trying to check up to him to stop making him saying those stuff. “We had always… had enough time.” Dainsleif caught up with him while you didn’t make it…
.
.
That’s where it all went downhill, all Lumine could think about for the rest of their days thinking about what he said,”then I will no longer see you as my dear sisters as before all those years ago.” Kept rewinding everyday and every night, every dream turning into a nightmare, every thought now just repeating the same over and over again. Could someone save them from their misery and sadness from their very own sibling? Yes..Lumine found someone to reattach the string what was once broken and so torn apart now being band new, being reattached as a new string replaces that sad old tragic string, memory, of that incident into a new sibling figure. That person was you..
You are the person Lumine finds as a sibling, the one who saves her from all their trouble, the endless thoughts, nightmares, and memories she keeps thinking about..was just by meeting you made that loneliness go away.
SUMERU QUEST SPOILERS
“Hahaha! Well, well. We meet again, traveler!” Paimon screamed,” Ah! The Abyss Herald! What are you plotting to do in this strange place?” Lumine getting in position for an attack. “Strange place? Hehehe… You needn’t worry about such things, they don’t concern you!” As the abyss herald responded to paimon it got ready to attack. As Lumine hit its shield, she didn’t make any damage to it. Huh? Wh—Why can’t we beat this guy…? Paimon doesn’t get it. We’ve faced others like him before, what’s wrong this time?” Paimon said in confusion. “Traveler, through you may have managed to avert countless crises before, your good fortune was bound to end sooner or later. It’s time you realize how weak and powerless you really are!” Lumine called out, “My journey will not end here! I still must find my brother!!” “Your brother? Meahahaha! Oh, how pityful traveler, are you really so ignorant? Or are you just living in complete denial?” “His highness has long since forsaken you. Your meager existence in his highness eye’s is that of an annoying bug only to be stepped upon! The bonds of love and family which drive you to find your sibling are utterly gone! Your journey is meaningless!” Those words from what the Abyss Herald said dropped Lumines heart, did he really find her not a family no more? “If my brother seeks not to see me as their sibling, then I will also not want to see him as my brother. As I have found someone else as a sibling who cares about me, who treats me good, helps me with my problems, and comforts me than leaving me behid not trying to go look for me!” Paimon said as shocked from those who came from the traveler, Lumine, paimon couldn’t put her finger who Lumine was saying who they found as a sibling. “Oh? Looks like you finally realized how he doesn’t love you no more, but don’t you fret now. Today will be your last. Now die!” As the traveler was preparing to get their sword they were greeted to be back in the cave where they found Haypasia. “What just happened? I was in a near attack by the abyss herald, how did I end up back here?” Lumine questioned in her mind.
But that doesn’t matter no more, she was already looking forward to their new sibling
.
.
.
.
And that was you.
They were looking forward to replace the string that was broken from her dear brother to you being their new sibling figure they look up to now, who they trust for you to comfort her, to care for her, and to look out for her. They want you, reader, as their new sibling as her own rejected them

Love's Abyssal Puppet | ABYSS LUMINE X FEM!READER
Story requested by my wife / @gabyuu1
Men and Minors DNI
The Abyss corrupts Lumine, turning her into a sadistic queen. Trapped and controlled by Lumine's dark power, (Y/n) is forced to kill their friend to prove loyalty. Now alone and heartbroken, (Y/n) must decide: save Teyvat from the Abyss... or destroy the monster Lumine has become.
The abyss wasn't cold, not anymore. It was a suffocating heat, a pressure that pressed against (Y/n)'s lungs, a constant reminder of her captivity. Gone were the whispering fields of Mondstadt, the bustling crowds of Liyue, replaced by a desolate obsidian wasteland bathed in an eerie, sickly green glow. Here, the very air tasted of despair.
"Welcome back, my Abyssal Queen," Lumine's voice echoed, a seductive rasp that sent shivers down (Y/n)'s spine. Yet, it was a far cry from the gentle lilt (Y/n) remembered from countless nights spent tangled in Lumine's embrace. The golden eyes that once held warmth and love now burned with an alien fire, a reflection of the abyssal corruption that had taken root in her lover.
The black armor Lumine wore was both beautiful and terrifying, its intricate glyphs pulsing with a malevolent energy. It clung to her form, a stark contrast to the carefree adventurer (Y/n) had fallen for. A pang of longing, sharp and unexpected, pierced (Y/n)'s chest.
Across the wasteland stood a figure bathed in the sickly green light. It was [Friend's Name], their face etched with a mixture of confusion and terror. "(Y/n)?" they croaked, their voice barely a whisper that carried no warmth. "Where are we? What's happening?"
(Y/n) wanted to scream, to tear at the invisible strings that held her captive, to reach out and comfort the one person who had witnessed Lumine's descent into darkness. But her body was a puppet, her muscles unresponsive. Tears welled in (Y/n)'s eyes, blurring the already distorted scene.
"Ah," Lumine purred, her voice dripping with a sadistic amusement, "your dearest confidant. A curious choice for your final moments, wouldn't you agree?"
Lumine raised a hand, and a wave of dark energy pulsed outwards, wrapping around (Y/n) like a barbed vine. A surge of power ripped through (Y/n), twisting her emotions, turning love into a suffocating loyalty, a sickening dependence on the very being who imprisoned her.
"Such a beautiful bond," Lumine continued, her voice laced with a cruel mockery, "but love can be a weakness, can't it, my Queen?"
The darkness intensified, a suffocating shroud that threatened to consume (Y/n) whole. It wasn't just her body Lumine controlled now; it was her very mind, her will. A single, horrifying thought wormed its way through the haze: she had to kill [Friend's Name] to prove her loyalty, to appease the twisted goddess her lover had become.
With a strangled cry, (Y/n) lunged forward, her trusted blade a blur in the sickly green light. The weapon felt foreign in her hand, a cruel extension of Lumine's will. [Friend's Name]'s eyes widened in horror and betrayal, a silent plea for understanding.
Time seemed to distort, the clang of metal against metal echoing in the desolate wasteland. A choked gasp, a spray of crimson staining the obsidian ground, then a chilling silence.
(Y/n) stumbled back, the weight of the deed crashing upon her like a collapsing star. Bile rose in her throat, the metallic tang of it a stark contrast to the sweetness of Lumine's lips, a memory both cherished and horrifying. Her scream, a primal wail of anguish and self-loathing, ripped through the oppressive silence.
But it was drowned out by Lumine's laughter, a symphony of madness that celebrated not victory, but the utter destruction of (Y/n)'s soul. As the laughter faded and the darkness receded, revealing the familiar fields of Mondstadt bathed in the cold light of dawn, (Y/n) collapsed.
The blood staining her weapon was a grotesque reminder of the nightmare. Lumine was gone, vanished like smoke on the wind, leaving behind a void that echoed with a deafening question. Was the darkness Lumine unleashed a reflection of something that always lurked within the abyss, or had it consumed the woman (Y/n) loved completely?
The answer, heavy and suffocating, settled in (Y/n)'s gut. The warmth, the love, the Lumine (Y/n) knew was gone. In her place stood a monster, an abyssal queen who reveled in the destruction of everything (Y/n) held dear. The journey to find her lost love was over. Now, (Y/n) faced a new, horrifying truth: the only way to save Teyvat, the only way to stop the abyss from spreading,

Hi! I have my birthday on the anniversary, how do you think the SAGAU characters would react? For some reason I can see an emphasis on remaining Khaenri'ahns like Kaeya clinging onto whatever they can find of those customs, and yeah, apparently celebrating the birth of Teyvat was a big thing over there. (I can also see Ayaka being very happy <3) Have a good day!
YANDERE!SAGAU CHARACTERS CELEBRATING YOUR BIRTHDAY (Hysteric Humanoid)
A/n: Omg happy birthday anon!!! o⁠(*⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠*⁠)o i hope you have a fantastic day too!!!
I'm not sure if you're referring to the Yan!SAGAU Hysteric Humanoid or not, because most of the cast in HH are pretty violent towards the reader (e.g: Aether nearly killed the reader, Zhongli tried to kidnap them, Rhinedottir manipulated you, etc). It's not a very happy story. People don't revere you. They actively hunt you down. Hence, I'm not sure you got the right author for this haha, I don't exactly write happy endings… I don't want to dump all those things on your birthday ;;----;;;
You deserve a happier response, so I'll be focusing on some of your devotees in the fic (at the time of chapter 1)!
Might be a little spoiler-y but oh well!
----------
Characters: Dainsleif, Abyss! Lumine, Baizhu, Kaeya, Venti, Zhongli, and Kamisato Ayaka.
Before the three of you separated, Dainsleif often tried to do something special for you, and it's almost always practical (I say this because you've traveled with him for centuries, and not once did he give you something extravagant–). He thinks gifts are great as a concept, but it doesn't translate well with reality. Dain thought about fighting bosses for you just to give you a present but then weighed down that leaving you alone was too dangerous. Customs be damned. He believes that your safety is worth more than fleeting happiness. You understand, don't you? Being empty-handed makes him miserable too. Please be content with your scarf for now.
Things are a bit different after Chapter 1. He's a lot more bitter and reserved. Dainsleif is not afraid to act brutal around you if it means proving that he can and will protect you. He doesn't care if you don't approve or if you "hate" him. But the upside to this is that he'll drag you along to get you your present. Just say whatever you desire ("leave" is not an option) and he'll pluck it out of a corpse for you. After that, it's just another day. You're both over 500 years old. And it doesn't help that the Abyss Order is always up to something when it's your birthday.
Lumine, however, believes that "fortune favors the bold". C'mon, it's The Creator's birthday! She'd take any excuse to celebrate (after all, she's secretly down too, you know.) Lumine understands that for some people birthdays are a big deal. While personally, she doesn't like having hers become a big spectacle (she misses her brother), she wants you to be bombarded by her attention. Flowers! Feathers! Anything that catches her eye will surely find its way into your inventory. She'd peck you on your cheek and tell you that you deserve the world– and Lumine will not stop until she gives you just that. After all, she already promised that she'll bring you home someday with her brother too.
As the Princess of the abyss, she honors her word. Everything she does is for the home she wished to share with you. This is why Dainsleif keeps an eye on your birthday– she has a habit of conducting special operations during this time. She's awfully sentimental. If he didn't burn all the letters she left for you, you would've known that her obsession is a lot more terrifying and burdensome than you thought.
Baizhu doesn't know when your birthday is. But he DID help you make a fake birth certificate so he pretends that that's your real birthday (it's not.) On your/Jianfeng's birthday, he sadistically gives you a herb-flavored cake, made only with the bitterest ingredients Qiqi could find. The doctor explains that it helps maintain blood pressure among other health benefits– while he does speak the truth, it doesn't mean he doesn't have any ulterior motives. You know damn well he just wants more blood samples. If you could pass your immortality to Baizhu you would, but he wouldn't accept that. He wants to be immortal with you, and he will not accept any shortcuts.
You met Kaeya when he was 18 years old. I won't say how you met, but you've known each other for around 3-4 years. Kaeya considers himself your friend first and being your acolyte is nothing more than a cute title. He's not knowledgeable about Khaenri'ahn customs regarding birthdays, instead, he'll celebrate it his way… so expect alcohol. Kaeya knows that you hated how pretentious people are when they celebrate The Creator's birth. You couldn't handle all the noise, especially since you're convinced that you're an "impostor". He'd do his best to isolate you from any other "unwanted" attention by taking you somewhere only you both know. The air around Windrise feels nice this evening– he'll help you climb up the branches. You'd join him, right? This is a pretty sentimental place for him. He often hides here whenever he got into a fight with Diluc, you should know by now that he's being vulnerable by inviting you here.
Other than that, there's no doubt that he'd tease you about your age, and subtly remark where his loyalty lies. He knew after observing the Twilight Sword that chivalry remains unpaid despite 500 years of service, but he would still offer his body to whatever plans you wish would befall Teyvat. What is love without a bit of sacrifice, right?
Is it really a surprise that Venti dedicates songs for you on your birthday? Probably not. Especially when he did this more than a hundred times? Probably not. Does he care? Well, you can't tell. Either way, if you spent your birthday in Mondstadt getting dragged along by Kaeya's whims then the bard will find you eventually. Much to the cavalry captain's dismay, the archon would climb up the branches just to sing you a song. Afterward, you'd both try to push him out. Keyword: try. By the end of the day, the three of you would be the drunkest people in Teyvat. He'll end up clinging to your arm, sometimes sticking his tongue out whenever Kaeya makes a disgruntled noise. Venti will make sure to remind him that he's known you longer than him, that Kaeya is just a child in your eyes. They're both absolutely immature. You'll, unfortunately, need Dainsleif to get these two off of you.
Ahhh, Zhongli. Gosh, I wish I could just spoil my plans for him but I'll do my best to answer this without revealing much. He's no God of Stove, but he will serve you food, specifically jade parcels and his specialty dish, slow-cooked bamboo shoot soup. With somber eyes, Morax– not Zhongli– would reminisce the times you've spent together in mindless rambles, even if those memories evade you. He'll feed you kindly, asking if it tastes just like the first day you first met. When he doesn't get the response he desperately craved, he'll take you back to Qingce Village. Please… can't you give him at least one smile? He missed your company.
(I love Ayato but I can't include him here because he does not have faith in the reader. At all.)
Kamisato Ayaka is superstitious. Or at least, something close to that. For the longest time, she believed her mother when she said thunder is nothing more than the Electro Archon's way of communicating. Like everyone else, her sense of self did not exist at birth. A 5-year-old will always see themselves as the main protagonist of their own life– unburdened by social responsibilities and the weight of what will happen to their clan. And when the Kamisato Clan almost crumbled, she put her blind faith in one other person besides her brother.
You.
She firmly believes it was fate that you both share the same birthday and that it made her closer to you than anyone else. In times that she does not trust her confidence, she thinks of you. What would The Creator do if they were in her shoes? What would They have told her? And thankfully it helped.
That's why before she met the traveler, she never once celebrate her birthday– she celebrated yours.
"Happy birthday, Your Grace. I will not forget to glorify all that you have done and will do. Please continue to guide me in another year of living."

Tumblr media
Lumine 💮🌸
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1st; Idk since I founded in Google and the poster was from Reddit, and it didn't exactly say who was the artist
2nd; Danbooru arist: midorigawa akari
Lumine and Zhongli haven't met for a while so when they did, they decided to have a stroll on a field full of flowers. As they both enjoy the comfort of silence with the background of birds chirping and leaves blowing in the air. Lumine stopped.
"Is there something wrong, Traveler?" He asked. Lumine shook her head as a sign of no. She kneeled down and plucked a silk flower. As she raised it, a Geo Crystalfly landed on it. She gave the flower to Zhongli.
"Thank you for the flower." As he also plucks a flower and puts it on her hair. He chuckled at her surprised face. She once again kneeled and got more flowers. As he sat on the table and tilts his head as his chin rests on his hand. He wonders what is she doing.
Lumine tied the flowers to a shape of a crown. Zhongli decided to stand up to walk to the girl. She finishes and turned around to see Zhongli. She gestured for him to bend down, and as he did she put a flower crown on his head and smiled. Zhongli widens his eyes as the eyes glint with light. He can't help but also smile at her actions. He shall keep this shining in gold in his memories....
"Thank you...Traveler."
Aether 🌺💐
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1st: Danbooru artist: hane (odeu)

Aether returned to Liyue. As he walks down the street, he sees a familiar figure. Zhongli. Zhongli seems to have forgotten his wallet and his living one too. Aether decided to pay for him and had a nice talk too. Although the item he bought (banquet) was distracting aether.
"Would you like to have a stroll with me, Traveler?" Zhongli asked, as he drank his cup of tea. Aether nodded, later he found out what the banquet was for. Childe was looking for some flowers to give for his family and Zhongli decided to help on it.
After that, they walked around the field of flowers. They sat at a table, but aether went out to get something. Zhongli saw him walking towards him after a few minutes, holding a flower crown. Aether puts on the flower crown on him. Smiling at his gesture of giving him this, he pat his head and lightly ruffled his hair.
He was amused and chuckled at seeing the boy's expression. They both smiled and laughed as they talked. After that, night was coming and it started to become cold. Zhongli gifted his suit to keep him warm which Aether finally accepted with some convincing. After leading him to the Wangshu Inn and watching as he go. Zhongli stands outside, smiling.
"You will forever shine in my memories like gold....thank you for this wonderful experience Traveler."

(You lived with him with every moment of his life)
"Zhongli!" You shouted across the street.
"Oh, I didn't expect to see you here."
You scoffed. "Well, you should now. But close your eyes." He did as you asked. He felt you grab his hand. After a while of walking, you stopped. He asked you if they were here. He didn't get an answer, but instead a "stay right here, I'll be back!" He waited. He wanted to open his eyes but didn't want to spoil the surprise you are making for him.
"You can open now!" He was confused, 'what was the surprise?' Until he felt something on his head. It was a flower crown, and then he looked behind you to see a field of Wild Glaze Lilies. His eyes widen and are full of life in it as his eyes shine brightly as the sun. He also saw some stone markings of his beloved friends and the stone you made in the past for this world that saves the memories of the surrounding.
He touched them and sees the moments where Bosacius drew on xiao's face and many more. He went on his knees, eyes filled with tears. He hugged you by the waist, saying his thank you's.
He knew if you revived anyone, it will disturb the cycle of reincarnation, life, and death. It would be too much work and since your current body hasn't fully adapted your power. This is why he was so grateful for you going through all the trouble to do this. You put a flower crown on him, kissing his forehead. Wiping away the tears. The rest of the day of him laying on your lap.
The next day he comes to where you live with a banquet full of flowers. He hugged you as you felt some tears falling on your shoulder. You rubbed his back to comfort him.
"I vow for us to shine together forever in our life....I love you."
Bonus! Sagau🌻🌼🍁

Idk who made it but in the first one, Nahida was too short for the camera to see—
You, the archons, and the traveler with paimon. were walking down the field of flowers you made. You had all 4 of the archon's nation, flowers. Aether/lumine was giggling as aether hold the flowers in his arms/lumine holds the flowers on her skirt. It was nice seeing Ei walking around smiling, Zhongli drinking tea, and of course. Venti floats around with the lyre, singling songs themed as the 4 nations, Nahida doing the hopscotch along the path, and of course, Paimon. Eating away your cooking. You chuckled as she stuffed her mouth with food.
You used a bit of Anemo to make flower crowns for each person. You made sure to take a picture of this special moment.
Abyss aether/lumine, watching in the background as she/he sees you and their sibling having fun together. She/he wishes to join but cannot. She/he has not yet found a home for them to live. "Please wait, I promise one day. We will live together peacefully but for now, I will say my goodbyes."
