Alright, first request of mine on this blog:
Working from the prologue, how would Yae Miko, Ei, and Kirara react when they first see you?
(Non-related to the request, but I bet I'm gonna be the only one here that's not an Anon haha)
Oh nice, my first request! I'll do these separately, and in headcanons! Also, perhaps, but we'll see if this blog becomes popular or not hehe :3
Read this prologue for context!
Scenario: Meeting reader after he appears in Teyvat
Characters: Yae Miko, Ei, Kirara
Tumblr media
Once she catches sight of someone without clothes from Teyvat out of nowhere, she's the first to make a logical connection to the divine, and take you somewhere safe. She won't ask many questions, not until she can ensure that the two of you are nice and private.
While in the outside she might look composed and serious, inside she's definitely nervous. She hasn't been in the presence of someone of such divine nature apart from Ei in so long, and she needs to ensure both your safety and well-being.
Once she sees you being receptive to her commands though, and calm once you're in the safety of her closed off shrine however, she relaxes, and begins asking questions, to ensure her assumptions of course. She can't get too carried away yet, even if you do know her name, and recognized her at first sight...
You've never seen Miko with such a serious glint in her eye apart from the archon quest, and seeing it up close is, frankly, a little terrifying. You don't know how it happened, or why you're here at all, so you can't help but worry.
That's when she catches sight of your golden blood, and you can see her eyes starting to sparkle with excitement, her shoulders relaxing from their tense posture, and her tail starting to sway more freely...
"... I'm sorry, oh divine one... Hm, no titles? Very well. I couldn't be sure of what I saw, not when I've seen my fair share of trickery and deceit through the centuries... I promise, you have my full trust now. Now, let's put that stuffy atmosphere behind us."
Tumblr media
Let's be honest, Ei hasn't seen much of the present Teyvat, and as such has lost a grip on the culture, especially foreign culture. So when she sees your clothing, she imagines that you're just a traveler. Perhaps she should make a proper first appearance...
As soon as she approaches however, you exclaim her name with happiness, which she immediately causes her to do a second take. How did you know about her name, and not her title? Her eyes shrink, and her mind becomes easily confused.
That's when you show the golden drops of blood, and Ei's mind explodes. All this time, she believed that she would never get a chance to see you in a physical form, and you can see her eyes shaking with so many emotions...
She takes you away to the Plane of Euthymia, for your own safety she says, but as there's the tiniest shaking in her voice, you can't help but suspect it's actually to help her calm down and have some private time with you.
You have to be a little patient with her. There's so much going on in her mind from all those years she's been alive and has only been able to confide in Miko, and she knows you've learnt about it through the others. You wait for her to calm down, and sometimes, even tell her to take deep breaths before continuing.
Once she's calm though, she'll get right to business, thinking about a way to keep you safe, and cared for, while ensuring that the rest of Inazuma is aware of your descent. After all, what better way to revitalize her region than showing her the truth in their beliefs?
"You... Are alright with these arrangements, correct? Very well, then it's settled. Once again, welcome to Inazuma, the land that has never once forgotten you... I'm glad you show such enthusiasm, and frankly, I think I am just as excited."
Tumblr media
Kirara probably caught sight of you as she was stretching herself before another delivery. She's quite busy, so it's easier for her to focus on others once off the clock. Once she sees you though, she can't help but be a little cautious, yet curious.
In all of the regions she's visited for deliveries, she's never seen clothing like yours... Soon enough, she's slowly creeping up on you, eager to see who exactly you were! Her steps are quite silent, so it isn't exactly hard to do so.
Much like Ei, she starts talking to you as if you were just a foreigner, but just like Miko, she starts asking a lot of questions! Hers are more casual than the kitsune's however, with an excited pep to her voice.
When you show her the golden drops of blood, at first she's confused, and doesn't make the immediate connection to the rumors of the creator, thanks to them being only present in Inazuma, and her not spending much time there thanks to work.
Once she does however, she lets out the loudest gasp you've heard ever, and her eyes sparkle intensely! Her questions immediately double in speed and amount, and you have to calm her down, which can be a little complicated once she gets into another tangent.
Once she stops, she realizes that since you're from another realm, you must not have a home in Inazuma! So she decides to take you back to her home for the time being, so you may feel free to leave anytime!
"Ah, I wasn't really expecting any guests anytime soon, but you can have the spare room! Now, I won't be here much, but I promise I'll try to take less orders for now!... Unless you want me to take a vacation for you?"

[CN] Kiro's Absolute Match Mind's Quest (Part 2)
🌸 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for a date that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸
Tumblr media
Note: This date explores some very suggestive themes, so if you do not meet the game's required 16+ age rating, I'd suggest to avoid reading this date.
Part 1: HERE
Tumblr media
[CHAPTER 5]
Tumblr media
After successfully communicating with the organizer of the charity match, I shared the news with Kiro that I was going to join the cheerleading team.
Of course, he was surprised and delighted. We agreed to supervise each other and continue our "hellish training".
There were more fulfilling things to do in the long summer. While the exercises were obviously boring, they made my mood warm up every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day the baseball game started.
MC: Savin, have you seen Kiro?
Tumblr media
Savin: He seems to have been called to the other side. Do you want me to find him?
MC: No, I'll go find him myself!
Savin nodded and gave me a thumbs up.
Savin: With the way you look today, I guarantee that Kiro will be looking straight at you!
I laughed twice, pulled on my cheerleading skirt with slight embarrassment, turned around and walked quickly in the direction he pointed.
-
Tumblr media
Though this charity competition wasn't such a high-key event, many influential figures were invited, and the backstage area was bustling with people.
MC: Sorry, excuse me, thank you... Kiro! I'm here!
I waved my hand energetically. Kiro looked around after hearing the sound. His eyes lit up instantly when he saw me.
He walked quickly through the crowd and came to me, his eyes full of amazement.
Tumblr media
Kiro: Today you, you....
MC: How is it? Youthful, right?
I smiled, raised my pompom and struck a pose.
Kiro: Very youthful!
Kiro: I can't believe you actually hid such a cute appearance and are only showing it to me now. No wonder you refused to let me come watch you rehearse yesterday.
Tumblr media
MC: Hehe, of course the surprise must be discovered on the same day the surprise is happening!
MC: Originally, I wanted to wait a little longer and let you see it during the performance, but I was afraid that it would be too late to perform the ritual for you.
Kiro: Ritual?
MC: Did you forget?
I took out the prepared marker, took his hand, and wrote my name one stroke at a time on the inside of his wrist.
MC: You said during the game, that writing the names of important people on your wrist will bring good luck to the game. I remember that.
This is another reference to Kiro's Heatwave Date :>
Kiro opened his mouth and then smiled.
Kiro: Mm, I'll definitely live up to this mark.
He gently held my hand, folded our palms together and covered the handwriting.
Tumblr media
Kiro: Then, we agree that we'll be each other's witnesses later on, and that we'll both stand in the most dazzling place.
-
Tumblr media
After the lively opening ceremony, the music sounded again.
MC: Three, two, one, GO!
The girls on the cheerleading team jumped briskly onto the sports field with neat steps.
Almost instantly, I locked onto those pair of eyes I wanted to see most in the sea of spectators.
Blue, bright, and only mine.
Whether I was jumping, catching a throw, or even turning my back, I could clearly feel that line of sight firmly locked on me.
My heart felt as full, as if it was filled with air, but my body was lighter than the clouds.
Did Kiro feel the same way on stage every time I looked at him from off stage?
Accompanied by the rapid drum beat, the once extremely difficult movements during practice no longer seemed to be difficult at this moment. I supported my teammate's hand, stepped hard, turned around, flipped, and froze in the final step.
Woah--
I knew that the applause on the field at that moment may not have been because of the cheerleading performance, but a warm up for the next game.
But I also firmly believed that the handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes in a baseball uniform who stood up to applaud - all of his cheers were only for me.
I took a breath to calm down and watched the players from the two teams appear one after another.
The captain on the left was Carol. He was standing next to Kiro while watching the cheerleading performance. When our eyes met, he smiled and winked at me;
And the captain on the right was of course, Kiro. He tried his best acting like a big star, but the moment he saw Carol making a face, he couldn't hold back from giving him a smack in the face;
MC: Pfft...
I suppressed my laughter and watched the two teams shake hands with each other.
The other members of the cheerleading team all left the field, leaving me the only one still standing on the field. Kiro looked at me with slight confusion.
At that moment, the referee handed the baseball to me.
Referee: Please kick-off the game, miss.
MC: Okay.
Tumblr media
Kiro: .....!!
Hmph, how unexpected!!
If there were a comic-like dialog box above my head at this moment, it might have been an extremely big and extremely gorgeous dialog box that I could show off to everyone.
This was the second surprise I had prepared for him.
Kiro: MC...
For the first time, Kiro's eyes were extremely wide. If the referee hadn't order the athletes to get into position, he might have rushed in front of me by now.
In the end, Kiro walked to home plate and raised his bat.
I held the ball in both hands and took a deep breath.
Tumblr media
MC: I hope...
I hope the next word didn't need to be said. All of my hopes were in my hands.
I raised my hand, twisted my body as much as possible, and swung the ball hard.
Boom!
-
Referee: Strike out!
Referee: After the end of the first half, there'll be a ten-minute intermission.
Unknowingly, the seventh game had concluded, leaving the score between the two sides very tight. Although this was just a friendly charity match, the competition's intensity was not low. While Kiro's baseball abilities were good enough, he hadn't reached a level where he could crush his opponents.
What's more was that he was facing against Carol.
I clenched my hands and looked at Kiro not far away.
The halftime break was very important, and he was discussing follow-up tactical arrangements with his teammates, a serious look on his face.
When Kiro entered working mode, his eyebrows seemed to be three points sharper than usual, and his blue eyes were astonishingly bright.
Even though his teammates were all leaders in various fields, at this moment, they all listened to his explanation with conviction and admiration.
Six or seven minutes passed, and since the tactics were almost planned, everyone dispersed to take a final break. Kiro also smoothed his sweaty hair and hurried to the bathroom.
MC: Huh?
When he raised his hand, I realized that the name I wrote before going on the field had been smudged by sweat, leaving only a few strokes remaining on his wrist.
Tumblr media
[CHAPTER 5: Interweaving Emotions]
The sun shone brightly and the lawn on the court was coated with a fuzzy halo. The cheerleaders were in uniform and exuded youthful vitality under the dynamic music.
Obviously they were all wearing the same uniform, and their formations changed at an almost dizzying extent, but Kiro's eyes never strayed from the girl's body for even a second.
Carol: Hey...
She smiled brightly, and the dangling pompom in her hand was the finishing touch, making her entire body sparkle.
Kiro couldn't help laughing along, turned on his camera, and zoomed in a little bit to try and capture his Miss Chips in the fast-paced dance.
Carol: Kiro, it's all so blurry and you still want to take pictures? Where can I see your partner here?
Carol: .....
Carol: Hey, Bro!
Kiro felt a heavy tap on his shoulder. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Carol, who was seated with him in the stand-by area, raising his eyebrows in depression.
Carol: I've been talking to you. Why are you just looking at your sweetheart?
Kiro: She's performing, so of course I've gotta watch her at all times.
Kiro said, his eyes falling on the girl again, the smile in his eyes never disappearing.
Carol: Then the two of you really match each other.
Carol: When you were practicing, she was in the same state as you, with almost the same expression. Looking without blinking - yes, just like that - and smiling from time to time!
While Carol was describing in shock, there was a bit of envy in his eyes.
Carol: Tsk, no wonder you didn't admit that I was your "soulmate" before. The compatibility between your souls is rare in this world~
When Kiro wanted to respond to his opponent, he found the girl on the court looking at him for a moment, and he quickly straightened up and waved.
After a while, he turned back to look at Carol, who looked even more "haunted", with a hint of apology on his face.
Tumblr media
Kiro: Uh... what did you just say? Soulmate?
Kiro quickly went through every detail of his and the girl's daily life in his mind, and unconsciously felt sweetness in his heart.
Tumblr media
Kiro: Almost, but the word soulmate isn't good enough.
Kiro: In my heart, she is MC. She is my favorite person.
Kiro: As long as I look at her, I know what's in her heart. Whether she is happy or sad.
Kiro: That's why I'm eager to bring her the best things in the world!
Kiro: But you won't understand, even after I've told you all of this.
Kiro: This is a unique connection between me and her. Go ahead and envy it~
The more Kiro said it, the prouder he felt. Because no matter how good the pronouns were, he couldn't explain the girl in his heart. She was so unique that even the most beautiful words used to describe her would feel a bit inferior.
But as he talked, Kiro noticed that the person beside him remained silent and he turned to look back--
Carol was very dramatically covering his ears.
Carol: Wow, I'd love to see you show off your affection, but isn't this "dog food" a little bit much?!
Kiro: You even know the term "dog food". It's very local~
T/n: The term "狗粮" (dog food) is Chinese slang used to refer to PDA, i.e. public display of affection :>
Kiro smiled and bent his eyes, the little pride in his heart swelling like a balloon. Just as he was about to continue being arrogant--
The music on the field stopped and the performance ended.
Kiro immediately stood up and moved his wrists and ankles, his eyes filled with determination. Then, he turned to Carol and raised his eyebrows provocatively.
Kiro: Chat's over, old classmate. Now, you have to be careful.
Tumblr media
Kiro: Because I won't let her down.
Kiro: Today's victory will belong only to "us".
Tumblr media
[CHAPTER 6]
Two minutes to go.
I clenched the marker in my hand and looked at the bathroom door anxiously.
The moment Kiro appeared, I immediately rushed over and pulled him into a corner of the stairwell.
Tumblr media
Kiro: ...?!
MC: The wording is blurry. Let me make up for it.
I couldn't help but uncap the pen and write more seriously and vigorously than last time. Kiro laughed and carefully wiped off the wet water stains on my wrist.
Tumblr media
Kiro: You seem to be extra superstitious today.
MC: I can be as superstitious as I want.
MC: And I have even more superstitious tricks.
I stood up on tiptoes and fiercely kissed Kiro's lips, almost knocking his teeth in my haste. He smiled and gently accepted the tip of my tongue again.
One minute left.
Please, please, pass all my luck today to him through this kiss.
I didn't know if there was such a god in the sky that could grant my wishes, but I would still stubbornly pray for it.
As long as Kiro was fighting everything in this world, I would make this wish.
Thirty seconds to go. An announcement was made outside reminding the players to enter.
I pressed against the tip of his nose, and said word by word.
MC: Because I've see how hard you've worked this month, I really want you to win.
MC: It doesn't matter if he's an MLB super rookie. You're still my superhero.
I kissed those most beautiful eyes in the world again, and then pushed Kiro towards the arena.
Tumblr media
MC: So, you can definitely win.
-
Tumblr media
MC: Although Carol's "Fire Team" was about to strike out with a beautiful outfield ball to send the game into overtime...
MC: Kiro, the ace player of the "Sunshine Team", hit a perfect homerun, base, and hit in the tiebreaker!
I deliberately emphasized the word "homerun", leaned on the sofa, took a sip of beer, and continued reading.
MC: "Then, in the defensive round, Kiro made another critical hit, completely ending the game and winning the final victory."
MC: "All income and prize money from this competition will be donated to the Youth Sports Development Foundation..."
Kiro: Why are you still reading the report? The game ended long ago.
Kiro's voice sounded from above my head.
After the game, Kiro and I were really tired, so we simply declined most of the subsequent interviews and activities and went home to lie down.
MC: It hasn't been that long. It's only been half an hour since we got home, of course I'm still very excited. Here, look.
I showed Kiro the screen of my phone with a smile. There was a photo of the victors, hugging and celebrating.
--And this time, I was also among the victorious group, firmly captured by the image.
MC: I emphasized to Xiao Zheng and the others that this photo was very important and had to be taken!
MC: This way, we can make up for the regret of not having a celebratory photo at Hitachi High School last time!
Tumblr media
Kiro: ! Quick, send me a copy!
MC: Sent, check~
I not only sent him this photo, but also some other photos of the game, as well as bits and pieces of training over the past month.
Kiro: So many...
He slowly looked through them one by one in amazement, and I leaned on his shoulder, smiling contently.
MC: Is it a lot? I still think it's little.
MC: If I were a photographer, I'd take a thousand time-lapse pictures during your competition and pick them slowly!
Tumblr media
Kiro: Hahaha!
While we were looking through the photos, we casually drank a bunch of beers. Suddenly, Kiro's cell phone rang and he clicked on the screen.
MC: What's up?
Kiro: It's Carol. He said he's going back to the United States tomorrow morning and wanted to treat us to dinner tonight.
Kiro: Do you want to go?
MC: Hm... after all, he is your friend, so I do need to be there.
MC: But I'm still so tired now...
I pointed at Kiro's baseball uniform and then at my cheerleading uniform.
MC: See, we haven't changed our clothes since we laid down here.
Kiro: Shall we take a shower then?
MC: Let's rest for ten more minutes, shall we?
Kiro: Hmm... No, I'll get sleepy if I lie down any longer.
MC: But right now I'm too lazy to move even a finger--
Before I could even finish speaking, my body suddenly rose into the air, and Kiro picked me up.
Tumblr media
Kiro: It's okay, you don't have to move.
-
Tumblr media
MC: Wait a minute, Kiro. I seemed to have missed something.
Perhaps it was dopamine, controller of excitement, or perhaps it was the gradually brewing drunkenness. While Kiro was helping me unscrew the liquor, I suddenly pulled him back.
Kiro: Eh? Is it a bath towel, or a change of clothes? Should I go get it for you?
MC: It isn't...
I hesitated and couldn't answer, so I just took two more steps towards him.
Tumblr media
MC: It's... something about you.
Kiro: [still clueless] About me? What is it?
I still couldn't answer, but my instincts drove me to seek out for him.
Not on his sleeves, not on his fingers, not on his chest...
The hormones caused by teen sports mixed with alcohol filled my nasal passages, making my head dizzier.
MC: It seems like... It seems like it's here.
Finally remembering, I gently licked the corner of Kiro's mouth.
Tumblr media
MC: Yes, I remembered, you missed the praise.
As I spoke, I rubbed his neck again and again, and his center of gravity grew unstable for a moment. I tipped Kiro slightly and we sat on the ground together.
The showerhead slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. The inverted water rolled twice, and fine water droplets began to scatter unscrupulously.
Kiro blinked, and his breathing became a little faster.
Kiro: ...MC, are you drunk?
MC: ...Am I? Maybe so.
MC: Anyway, don't change the subject! You anyways missed it. You didn't say it.
I reluctantly pried open Kiro's lips, as if wanting to get the treasure that a brave man deserved after going on an adventure.
MC: I've praised you for being so amazing on the field, but you haven't praised my performance yet.
MC: Hurry up, or else the peacock who spread their tail and got no response will be angry...
Kiro suddenly raised his hand and lifted up his team uniform.
My hand that had initially been loosely clinging to his arm failed to grasp it, and my entire body suddenly fell into his arms.
Kiro: Don't be angry.
His breath touched my lips, and his voice mixed with the gurgling water.
Kiro: It was an oversight on my part. I should've really praised MC.
Kiro: How about using my entire body as your prize?
Tumblr media
MC: Really? It's all mine?
I blinked in surprise and confusion, and my hands suddenly fumbled away indiscriminately.
From his eyes, to his nose, to his cheeks, to his Adam's apple...
Kiro's body continued to heat up under my touch and caress, and the heat captured in my palms spread to my body along my fingertips.
He kept maintaining a posture that allowed me to ask for anything. Only his rapid breathing and tight muscles guided the smoothest path.
Guiding me into opening this gift that was mine.
I couldn't help but confirm it again.
Tumblr media
MC: Is it all mine?
Kiro: It was yours from the very beginning.
MC: Huh, if it was always mine, it can't be considered a prize for my hard work today, right?
Kiro: .....
Kiro: I found that Miss Chips is very logical when drunk.
His Adam's apple rolled, and the corners of his mouth curled up helplessly.
Kiro: Then should I tell you some hidden rewards?
He grabbed my hand. But this time, the rhythm of the body was completely dominated by him.
It was like an unimagined arrangement of a familiar piece of music, and the unaccustomed rhythm made it impossible for me to resist.
I could only be passively guided by him, and go with him to open doors that I'd never touched before.
The salty sweat mixed with alcohol filled my mouth with the taste of summer.
Kiro: Particularly dazzling...
I seemed to hear Kiro's dazed murmur, and I opened my eyes in a daze.
MC: ...what did you say?
Kiro: I'm talking about you on the court today.
His eyes were hidden behind his wet bangs, like the most bewildering ocean.
I was immersed in this ocean, but I knew it was about to set off a giant tsunami.
Kiro: And you now.
Unknowingly, the water had flowed along the floor tiles.

oooo are miles and van gonna be a thing..that would be cute
athena deciding to keep miles around like he's a puppy is peak comedy
just because you're pointing out that the names are getting stupider doesn't mean you don't lose a point for continuing to name your characters stupid things
van and miles going on a secret special side quest together? mmmmhhmmm checks out
don't get me wrong I love a good enemy's to lovers but istg destiny if she gets with the guy who killed her family I will never forgive you
EW CREEPY PEDO GUY GET BACK CREEP
I am directly halfway done with this book, and there has yet to be one single ounce of romantic subplot...This is extremely disappointing"

Just saw the requests are open!? Well, let's go!! (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ Unfortunately I'm not a fan of OM to request something from there so... :'D
People recently were requesting so many things with "Fantasy theme", so I had an idea *Pushing away my request list for later* Hmmm... Do you know that event from ARB? The Hypmic quest 2nd where Kuko was a ninja?? Could I request a Ninja! Kuko with a Kunoichi! s/o who was sent to kill him, but they ended up falling in love with each other?
I'm sorry, I just accepted the fact that I'm a Kuko stan, and even a quiz I did these days said that I'm like Kuko, and my Best friend is Ichiro, oh well I think I'm the DEvil Monk of our friendship 🤡 My Rosho platonic request will have to wait a little >︿< - Maid Cafe Anon
Ninja! Kuko with a Kunoichi! GN!s/o
Tumblr media
Omg hi hi hi!!!! I have never seen this card of Kuko but!! Here we go! <3
femreader, ninja! au, teasing, just wholesome stuff;; 992 words;;
A light whisper of wind tickles your skin and you close your eyes, concentrating on sounds around you. At this moment, you can hear everything, even the small sounds of animals in the forest, but your main goal was to hear footsteps of one particular person.
And here he is - your target seeming to approach with inaudible and careful steps. Probably, he doesn't know you're here, as such a habit of silent walking was inherent in all ninja. That means you have a great chance to attack, and, with a muffled small sigh, you jump from the tree in the foliage of which you were hiding.
Well, maybe you just get a little bit bold.; Or the thought that you finally would be able to catch your elusive enemy boils your blood more than it should. But as soon as you attack him, ready to knock the ninja out, he unexpectedly has a good reaction and repels all the prepared attacks.
"Oh, it's you again!" - without any fear but more with teasing, your opponent moves closer. - "And I wondered why you didn't bother me for so long, s/o..!"
"Kuko! Don't think it's just a game.." - like a light wind before, you almost fade away, gracefully jumping back from him and his smug face, quickly and softly.
"Hehe, you're the one who's turning it all to a game." - a sudden giggle behind your back almost makes your trained to always be calm heart skip a beat.
You turn just to see his big grin again, ready to punch but he once again parries the blow.
"Ugh.. You could have disappeared again before I even turned around, then why you-"
"Just wanna see your angry face again, my lady.." - his jokes always annoy you, but you start to pay less attention to such tickling words, knowing how much your reaction amuse him.
"I'm not your lady. I'm a well trained ninja, and don't think that if I go easy on you all this time, then my skills wouldn't be enough to actually end your life.." - you mumble, furrowing your brows, but Kuko quickly interrupts you.
'Well trained? I thought well trained ninjas never show their emotions or something, do they?" - slowly drawling his words, he keeps looking right at your face with his smug one. Ugh, just how much you want to kick him again.
"I'm also not showing my-"
"Your cheeks are red."
For a moment you both froze - you from shock and he just admired your priceless reaction. Your hand dashed to touch your face just to actually feel unusual warmth on smooth skin.
"Am I embarrassed of you?" - another coo from his side makes you turn your wishes into actions and you attack him again. Maybe this time not that calculating, but you can't help with controlling this burning feeling he arises in you.
With a pretty loud thud you both fall into grass, as you pin him to the ground, finally able to catch Kuko off guard. Or do you? As his smile just got bigger.
"You only embarrass yourself with such an attitude.." - you scoff, thinking how exactly you should knock him out. Watching him laying under you with such a smirk makes you experience mixed feelings, so you decided to get this over with as soon as possible.
But some laugh was the only response to your words, as Kuko suddenly grasped your waist and pushed you down, changing positions.
"Catch you~" - he grinned triumphantly, before leaning closer. - "Interesting, what reward would I get for catching one of the best kunoichi, hmm?"
"The only thing you would receive it's just some proper lesson!" - your hands grasp his shoulders as you quickly lift yourself in an attempt to head-butt him.
Yet at this moment his own hands quickly cup your face, changing the angle you wanted to hit him with. At this point, it almost looks like you were the one who leaned closer, pulling him into some quick kiss, and Kuko quickly turned it into a more steady one.
"Sorry, I decided to choose something more pleasurable from you, hehe!"
"Ah! Y.. you're such a jerk!" - this time you actually weren't able to control your emotions at all, feeling how your cheeks slowly got even hotter.
"What are you talking about? Your eyes is much more truthful than you are, s/o." - the fact that he keeps his hands on your face while saying that makes everything even worse, as you can't even turn away to calm down your fast beating heart. Oh, okay.. If he wanted to play like that..
"Huh.. Don't think you're the only one who can act all cocky here.." - as you also still hold his shoulders, it was easy to bring him closer again, this time to actually press your lips to his, in a more harsh and long kiss.
Just.. Why did you decide to do it? Aren't there some good ways to escape from such a situation, just like you were taught..? But the surprising warm softness of his lips makes this burn in your chest get fired up more, and you really wanted to understand why.
"Mh.. Ha, what a tease you can be, huh.." - he mumbled when your lips pulled away for a second, before leaning closer again. Oh, did your bratty enemy start acting needy? As you can feel how his hands slowly lowered to your waist, grasping your sides in some firm, tickling manner.
"Hear now the pot blackguarding the kettle.." - a small chuckle escapes your chest as you look at his much softened gaze. Did you actually have the same expression on your face right now? - "But don't think it means our war has ended.."
"Oh yeah? Then I'm looking forward to what you would use next time to catch me off guard.." - Kuko smirk, lips are within a breath of distance. - "Take note, this should be something more than such naughty kisses, s/o.."

Scaramouche (Wanderer) x Reader
This is an occurence after the Archon Quest in Sumeru
An AU where he lost his memories
It was after the traveler and Nahida defeated Scaramouche. He fell unconsious for weeks and in those weeks, you would from time to time visit and help Nahida care for him. You were in your abode when he woke up, though he was not with you but instead he was in the care of Nahida. When Scaramouche – or should I say, the Wanderer – awoke, Nahida explained some stuff to him, not about his past though, she thought that was better for now. She explained only enough to make things make sense for him. While talking, she mentioned your name, that you took care of him aswell.
Days passed and you were aware of the fact that he was finally awake, Nahida went to you with him and introduced him to you properly and on that day you developed a friendship with him.
You were bored and didn't know what to do, until he popped up on your mind and decided to go and find him. He often spent time alone wandering around Sumeru City or doing nothing while Nahida helps out other people. There was this one place he told you he liked and would spend most time in so you decided that place was where you would go to first. Luckily, he was there, sitting alone and seeming to be lost in thought.
You slowly approached him, greeting him with a "hey" as you sat beside him. "Do...you need anything?" he asked. "No," you said in response, "just wanted to spend some time with you, anything wrong with that?" "Huh? Oh! The great Y/n wants to spend time with me! I'm honored to be in your prescence my Almight Queen!" he said using sarcastic tone. You looked at him, one eyebrow raised. You slowly got up to go, "You know what, nevermind" you said with furrowed eyebrows. "W-wait no! haha- I was just- pfft I was- HAHAHA- kidding, hehe, you should've seen the look on your face! Now- hah- sit back down pft- please." You obliged and sat back down, looking at the ground while the two of you were silent.
You wanted to talk and spend time with him, yes, you even thought about what to talk about and played a conversation in your head but now that you were actually here, sat beside him, you completely forgot about all of that, you didn't know what to talk about. He sat, looking at you with curiousity, "So, what do you wanna do? Anything planned?" You forgot what you wanted to do and/or talk about.
"How about.. we just talk? How was your day? What did you do today?" That was how you decided the conversation would go, with the simple how was your day, silently hoping it would lead somewhere. "My day was fine, it went like any other day. I took a walk around Sumeru City today, people were giving me this strange looks, as if they knew me, they've always been giving me these looks, now that I think of it, the looks they were giving me.. it was as if they were scared of me. I remember Nahida mentioning something about my past, Y/N, please tell me, do you know anything about this?" "Yes," you answered, unsure of whether or not you should tell him. You stared at the ground thinking, you decided it is best not to tell him as it has not been a very long time since he has awoken, you're not sure how he would take this. Maybe in the future, you would tell him, or maybe Nahida would. If neither, then on his own? "but it's best I don't tell you, it might be too hard for you, I'm sorry" you continued finally having decided on what to say.
"I deserve to know, don't I? I mean, it's MY life, my past! You can't just keep MY past a secret from me, tell me." he said, angry and confused, he  wanted to know why people were giving him those looks and why you are looking at him like that, did he do something bad? Something so terrible that whenever he went in a room, it would go silent, if not, then murmurs! What exactly did he do? He wanted to know if he could fix this. "No, please trust me, it's best if you did not know why and what happened, maybe in the near future you'll figure it out, but for now, please, don't try anything." You told him.
He looked at you for a second then at the ground. "If you're so keen on not letting me know then.. okay. I trust you, I just can't stand those stares, I'm sorry for the sudden outburst" You looked at him with symphathy, he looked back at you. "Please don't look at me like that, you look stupid you know.." he said in a teasing voice. "Oh- so I'm guessing you aren't mad at me?" You smiled at him. "oH sO Im GuEsSiNg YoU aReNt MaD aT Me?" he responded, mocking you "of course not dumbass, heh if you think it's for the best then I trust you. but uh.. can you atleast tell me a bit? like why they look at me like.. they're scared of me?" he asked. "No," you said frowning at him. "Eh, it was worth a try."
"Oh yeah, there's this new restaurant that has opened recently, have you heard of it?" asked he. Yes, you've heard of it, in fact, you were thinking of going there someday so you instead took this opportunity to go there today, with him. He agreed to go with you, saying, "Yeahh, I'd love to go with you, last one there is a rotten egg!" as he slowly got up to run, you too, got up to run and tried to catch up to him. He was.. childish, but that is one of the reasons why you liked him, his personality.
He got there first, he didn't seem to be tired, you were catching your breath, finally outside the restaurant and about to go in. "Loser," he said as he closed one of his eyes and stook his tongue out. "Let's just go in already," you said, hungry and you also heard the food there was absolutely amazing so you were excited to taste the food.
=========☆======♡======☆======== This is actually my first time writing like this so constructive critisism are very much welcome!! I need and want them to better my writing for you, like, is it too fast paced? How do you think I can slow it down?:) how I can better my writing.
Please tell me your thoughts and thank you so much for reading this! and maybe suggestions?? if you want that is

I saw your post about your planned works for 2023! Ngl I may end up stealing that idea (if it's alright with you). Maybe putting the word out that I'm working on things will give me the motivation to finish HAHA. I'm excited for your Gorou one! o3o
Your answer got the darkest themes was really interesting though! With the push for everything to be like... idk. Moral? A lot of more sensitive topics get pushed to the side bc we don't want to seem like we condone those things even though we find them interesting to explore and write about. It kinda sucks at times. That being said. That first one is one I'd never be able to write. LOL Not because of my personal feelings on the matter, but because I'd be writing it like, "If they just COMMUNICATED, this WOULDN'T have HAPPENED." Miscommunication/lack of communication is my pet peeve. LOL Granted, it's not always that simple, alas, I oversimplify things uwu
((Also the funny thing abt the third one. I actually have a non dark fic abt something similar. For shock factor, something sorta similar ends up happening in the fic, but you find out that the person/reader has been consenting to it for literal years. It's an Albedo fic lol. Idk how I'm gonna post it tho bc I'll probably have to make a cw, but idk how I'm gonna do that while also conveying the message that it's a completely PG story))
I write my stories the same way though. Like I have a general idea of what I want to happen, but I need to write everything chronologically. When I can't write the next part, the story ends up stuck in the shelf for months... Or sometimes I don't know what to write next so I write multiple routes and then everything gets mixed up lol
You're very diligent with getting into character's heads though! I kinda do the same with my research, but I don't have a written psychoanalysis of them. I mentally compare them with my experiences irl with ppl, etc, and then use that to make assumptions. As for voice, when I'm thinking of making them say something, I try to imagine the VA saying it. If I can't hear it, I change the wording. LOL
I'm looking much forward to Kaveh's release though!!! I want to see what he's like away from Alhaitham. Seeing him in Alhaitham's story quest just made me... sad. But take your time playing it! Also no worries on replying to my long replies too! LOL I can only reply when I'm mentally ready which sometimes takes weeks haha... Or like you, after I've done the appropriate research. Like I still need to reply to that ask you sent a while back. Still trying to figure out how to word myself at one part.....
feel free to share with ur your wips! i'm not the first to do it, and i LOVE reading people's wips. something about seeing it grow to its final form... (emotional). can't wait to see what you'll be giving us for 2023, hehe.
i think another reason why writing of such themes is not prevalent is because (1) it's mentally draining to write, (2) it's hard to gauge a stranger's threshold for such things, and most importantly (3) people who write fanfiction are just here to see their favourite characters in scenarios they like—for tooth-rooting fluff or gut-destroyer angst.
but, yeah, it sucks that people assume you support such things just because you write them. personal take is that writing is powerful because, if an author plays their cards right, it makes you think. it's a great way to explore the grey areas of life. can be very dangerous if consumed thoughtlessly though.
i scream at miscommunication when the thing that happens as a result of it doesn't do anything to move or develop a character. just. drama. i believe that's what ruined the love triangle trope for many? correct me if i'm wrong, lol. but as much as i find the trope annoying too, i have my own fair share of miscommunication. (at least it gives me character growth, LOL.)
a rating tag will definitely help. marking it as teens and up or mature with cw is already a warning that the fic heavily deals with the themes, but if it was pg i would assume it's just a brief mention. (can't wait to read it... even if i know about the shock factor so it's not shocking anymore, haha)
LOL the alternate endings... so true. right now my cyno fic has 3 routes. thankfully, i've narrowed it to 1... the problem is the scenes needs to be re-arranged with the scene i've not written being the introductory scene. if that's the case, i might as well rewrite the whole thing, right? (my brain doesn't work normally, help). on the bright side, i can say i wrote a lot this year, lmao.
i like the idea of comparing characters with your personal experiences! i saw you compare kaveh and alhaitham's relationship with your own, and that was so mind-boggling. it gives a unique spin to each character. (adopting your headcanon, sdfds)
thank you for your compliment, though i can't say i've been diligently jotting down notes. i only have cyno's for the longfic i plan to write for him. you gave a nice tip for writing dialogue. will think about it for my next fic except... sometimes i think about their dialogue in chinese-ish sounds, and then i don't really know how to translate it, HAHA.
if kaveh is a 4* star i'll cry because my luck with them is horrible. (i only got gorou last patch. unforgivable.) i hope he gets a hangout. i want to know what he does in his spare time, on his understanding of kindness, etc. you're right we should get more kaveh development outside of alhaitham. so far, he's just been That Character that sells alhaitham.
haha, i prefer thoughtful replies so i don't mind the wait :3c thank YOU for sharing with me your views. it means a lot to me, hehe.

100 OC Questions - Answered
questions are c/o the-moon-dust-writings! bulleted responses are Shadow's and responses without a bullet are mine.
i've got his backstory up, but here's some quick context:
he's a reborn (looks like a teal-haired anime wolf boy)
he's been alive for 1 year in-game
26 y/o body
arcane trickster/bladesinger
he's a Harper, but is still trying to navigate his relationship with the Zhentarim
How do they present themselves to others?
like, disguised? Not disguised? What do they mean?
I think they mean just… What you're like when you first meet someone.
uh… Myself, usually
You're pretty standoffish. You like talking with people, but most people scare you.
this is true. I'm always searching for what makes them tick or what they're hiding.
2. Do they like animals?
YES
but they also confuse you.
yes
Care to explain?
animals don't make sense to me. Why can't they transform like Lily? Why do they choose those forms? And permanently?
… That's not how it works, but I see your point.
3. How do they dress?
clothes. Next question
Oh my god, Shadow. You dress in whatever's comfortable and available
bonus points if it's black
4. How many languages do they know?
does Thieves’ Cant count?
Sure
then… Technically…. Four, I guess. Common, Elvish, Thieves’ Cant, and a bit of Giant.
5. How big is their family?
… You answer this one. I don't wanna.
You consider Lily, Caim and Blaze family. Newer members to your family are Krowen, Vidar and your Tressym! Your winged snake familiar is special to you, too.
yeah. Just sucks that the Zhents still consider me family, but I'm starting to see that as… Not that.
I won't push you closer or away from them. I just want you to be happy and safe.
sigh yeah. Family sucks sometimes.
6. What is their purpose in the story?
my friends and I are adventuring together to root out the cause of the Giants’ behaviour. I'm also on a quest for ALL of the knowledge!
7. Do they know how to fight?
Several styles, actually!
yeah!! I've been developing my own sword scales!! And my magic is slowly growing more powerful. It's scary, but really cool, too!!
8. What is their back story?
Both: gesture to 40 pages of backstory "that"
9. Why is their name, their name?
I can't remember if I was like, "ah, shit!! I need a name!! Uhhhh…" Or if I was like, "you're gonna be 'Shadow' because it's edgy hehe"
either way, it works!! I'm a shadow of past lives and I'm starting to live my own life. I've taken on Logan's name, too, since it came to me when Jamna first asked for my name. I like the ring of Shadow-Logan.
7. Do they have any nick names?
not really? I guess Shart might be a nickname
Please don't give your friends that kind of power
8. Do they have a romantic interest?
Xavlith
9. How do they cope with struggles?
you don't.
wrong. I sit on rooftops and write to Selûne. She likes me, but I know she can't solve all of my problems for me. Even so, I like writing to her.
fair point. it works pretty well for you.
oh, i also rage and sign blood pacts, apparently
there it is.
10. Do they have anyone they can lean on?
Blaze is cool, but I've known Caim and Lily for longer. Caim's also saved my life a few times, so he's become a brother to me. I'm gonna go with Caim and Lily.
11. How do they react to someone dying?
depends on who it is. Myself? Been through it at least once, could probably handle it again. Friend? Not well. Enemies? Spits.
12. Can you name 5 personality traits they have?
i don't know, can you?
shut up lol. sigh. you're... determined, analytical, curious, adaptable and loyal.
interesting wait of saying "stubborn little shit who doesn't take 'no' for an answer", heh
oh my god, shut up. you're a cool dude, but you really don't let your guard down, ever. you'll stop at nothing on the pursuit of knowledge
you're not wrong
13. How did they become a character?
you needed a DND character. apparently i was a halfli--
*grabs his lips* YOU WERE ALWAYS A REBORN ANIME WOLF BOI. NEVER A HALFLING. NEVER A SHIFTER. UNEARTHED ARCANA??? NEVER HEARD OF IT.
14. Do they get along with others?
you try
not always successfully
you're getting better, though
... i appreciate it. it's hard being nice when you don't know a person's true motives
15. What flaws do they have?
both: "a lot"
oh, i'm fucking flawed. i'm angry, resentful and manipulative
to be fair, while not objectively great traits, they've helped you with certain dealings
16. How do they influence the story?
neither of us know how you truly influence the story
yeah, i guess we're kinda just vibing and seeing where the timeline takes us
17. What do they look like?
i'll post some art soon enough!
18. What are their hobbies?
writing, reading, doodling. also people-watching.
19. What are their ticks?
people tAKING TOO LONG TO SPEAK. STOP TALKING SO SLOWLY. JUST SPIT IT OUT, ALREADY, GODSDAMMIT.
20. Do they like children?
remember Kyla? the one with 2 moms? back in Silverymoon? she was cool. pretty sure she wasn't freaked out by me and was just curious. other than her? kids kinda just confuse me. why are they so small???
you're a unique case, Shadow. you rose from the dead. that's not the average person's experience.
but still... *visible consternation*
21. How do they react to being around wild animals?
i'm used to Lily--our Sea Elf Druid--being in Wildshape, so wild animals don't really freak me out. I like seeing and learning about them.
22. If they were given the task to prank someone, who would it be, what would they do, and would the prank work?
pretty sure you've pranked Caim before.
yeah, i just don't remember how... anyway, i'd probably prank Caim or Blaze. i wouldn't do anything malicious, just... uh... swap their salt and sugar or something. depends on where we're staying and what i have access to, y'know?
23. Do they have any survival skills?
i can pitch a tent?
you're kinda lucky you don't need to eat, sleep or breathe. you just find places to hide and hope for the best.
basically
24. Are they more book smart or street smart?
surprisingly, both!
yeah, i guess i'm more street smart, but only because i've basically lived on the streets. i haven't had as much time as i'd like to read.
25. How do they get out of a difficult situation?
with my daggers
sweet heavens, boy.
okay, fine... mage hand.
what?
i don't know. i just usually try to talk my way out of shit. or pull out my tressym if things get awkward. i makes for a wonderful scapegoat---er, scape-tressym--and distraction
26. Do they use their body, mind, personality or force to get what they want?
my personality sucks, so it's usually up to my mind to get what i want.
this is true. however, you've used your body before.
mhmm. not too proud of that
27. What music do they enjoy?
i blame you, but pop-punk
i will accept full responsibility for this

Live blogging the Genshin 3.3 Interlude Chapter
Spoilers for the Chapter Ahead! Proceed with caution
Right, let's go to Nahida. We have so many questions.
Wait.wait.wait. So they are actually putting Katsuragi's story out in the open instead of hiding it? Props. Only took them a stupid amount of time.
Paimon shut up.
AND things just went from 0 to 10 then back down again in an instant.
I mean, it's probably fine considering that she- and Scara said what I was just thinking.
DAMN LU. You're not holding back.
Idk, he's not really the backstabbing type. Considering that he's been nothing but backstabbed.
Are we finally getting fucking lore?! Yeaaaaaah!
Lu, I love you. You're heartless. XD
Right, right, neither of us want to die.
Well, that's why people love him XD
Paimon, don't ask questions you don't really want answers to.
Interesting. It all looks very technomagic-y.
Hehe banter- wait what?!
HHHHHOLY SHIT. HOLY FUCKING SHIT HE WAS BEHIND EVERYTHING WITH THE BLACKSMITHS. HE'S BEEN RUINING SCARA'S LIFE FOR A WHILE WHAT-
Absolutely fucking soulless. I am so ready to murder Dottore.
WHAT ACTUAL LORE ON THE MAIN PLOT?! I- Royal mage, they met, akefbrtirjg the devs are finally giving us the stuff we want.
Dude, no. Stop. You're being an idiot. This won't end wellllll
Fuck he did it.
Okay, okay good. No one died yet.
Hi Xavier! Haven't seen you since that long ass side quest.
Hehe, Lu's breaking all the rules.
Ahshafbgshas (This is where my brain ceased functioning for a bit)
Yeaaaaah, shit got rough for him.
And there he is. Lovely new outfit.
Paimon, we're talking here.
Hhhhhhh why do I like him now. I haaaaated this little shit.
Choose your words carefully, Lu. You too Nahida.
YA THINK?!
oooooh we get to see them meet. And we find out what really happened.
So much behind the scenes stuff. I'm living for it.
This is giving a certain vibe I can't put my finger on.
PAIMON SHUT UP.
ON SCREEN VISION GRANTING WOOOOOOOO!
We interrupt this live blog with a fight. We will return very shortly.
He's got some things to still figure out. We're a long way from redemption, but it's a start.
And thus, for the poisonous but beautful lilies of the valley, suzuran, your name will be Suzu. Meaning one who has lived long.
Hehe they're still talking about their story.
UMMMMM? WHAT WAS THAT?!
And that was it! If I were to be coherent, I'd say this was a great way to not only explain lore, but delve further into character study. It not only made me like the little shit, but it also gave Lumine a lot of characterization too. Really this everything I could ask for story-wise. Now if you excuse me, I need to go scream for a bit. AA-

Please that San fic now I'm sad I never got to read it 🤧
Yeah actually we made sure to have our little cards ahahhaha, much easier than writing shit by hand I only do that while selling/trading. I wish normal people could snatch the calls, but I have a feeling some Korean fans have their spots guaranteed it's my conspiracy theory 👁👄👁
I do have to warn you though my joints are in bad condition, so you'll experience some pain and cracking 🥴 currently my knees are killing me . Oh noooo I wanted to ask if you got the c-word ://// a parent wants to take you down???
No Baek calm down I'm still faithful to Seonghwa's fics, but Mingi has been serving so many looks like seriously silver mullet, dark blue hair, now the streaks I'm not immune to good hair.
I think it makes sense they fit the theme so Sunmi can be comfortable I couldn't imagine her imitating Jessi, lmaooo. Knowing how open she's been about her mental health and other struggles maybe they'll discuss those sort of things, it's important of course though I would rather live laugh love than be emo 💔 But if I get a Seonghwa x Sunmi duo or at least Seonghwa embarrassing himself in front of her I'm in!
Seonghwa as the main lead in 10 Things I Hate About You woah woah you planted a seed in my brain....... I love Maid Sama and I was rewatching it a few months ago, because she's one of my fave anime protagonists I love a lady who can kick ass and Takumi was a brat and a simp at the same time LOVE TO SEE THAT
Let me spread swimmer Hwa agenda now, I can't swim well so hehe maybe he could teach me 😌 or maybeeee it's cause he's a 🧜‍♂️ Free! AU with Ateez?! I- I'm gonna forgive him cause he's pretty and cute BUT 😬
The clips from San's birthday live wtf Jongho wore the shoes Hwa bought for San??? Also why are people shocked at Hwa eating raw 🍅 (though he said he disliked them before hmmm), but never bat an eye at all the nasty meat they consume 😭 I'm not even a big raw tomato lover myself but I love a man who can eat his veggies like a normal person ❤
Also for you habibi enthusiast

hi, thank you for being on here and answering our silly little asks hehe! for the angst hour, i am so sorry in advance if this breaks any rules on this blog but i was wondering which LIs AND ONION would accept to have a purely physical, fwb relationship with someone they are in love with bc they can at least have a part of that person, and who would just walk away because maintaining a relationship like that would hurt them too much?
LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Every time you leave, Nightowl lays on his bed for what feels like hours, unable to fall asleep. He can still smell you on the pillows around him, and he closes his eyes and pictures you next to him. Imagines that you actually wanted to sleep over and let him cook you breakfast in the morning
That dream never comes true. You always leave. You're always firm on the boundaries set. "You're allowed to see other people, Nightowl. You know I am."
He throws an arm over his eyes and grits his teeth. I know you are. I really, really am very aware of that fact. Of course he never says that to you. He just smiles and nods. Says he's looking but hasn't found anyone yet.
There's only you. There's only ever going to be you.
When sleep does finally come, it's full of dreams of you slipping from him and falling into the arms of people who aren't him. He can't look away as he sees you do everything you did with him to someone else. And you look happier doing it.
When he wakes up on mornings after you've visited, it's always to a tear-stained pillow that no longer smells like you. And then the waiting game begins again for you to contact him first.
This is okay. This is what he wanted, right?
Your offer to Xyx is met with a laugh. And here he was, about to pour his heart out to you.
He rejects you on the spot. "No thanks, doll." You ask for a reason why out of curiosity and he gives you some half-thought out answer that he forgets immediately after saying it.
But you accept it. Of course you do. You trust him so, so much. Your pretty eyes look a little sad when he gathers his keys and he clenches his jaw.
"You're sure, right?" he asks. At your confused expression, he continues, "That you just want fwb, right? That's what you want?"
"Yes...?"
He knows that will only make his life a living hell if he accepted that. He smiles, nods, and walks away.
When he starts up his bike, he can't help but look back at the bar. There you are, still at the counter, twirling your straw in your drink forlornly. Wearing that stupidly beautiful outfit.
He looks away and drives off.
Quest... accepts the arrangement. It's perfect for his insecurity that you'd run if you get too close. You don't get close enough for that to be a risk, so... perfect.
What he didn't anticipate though was how much he wanted to be closer. After the sixth time you visited, after you'd been chatting for months, he almost slipped out that forbidden three letter phrase. It was surprising even to himself.
You'd told him very firmly and repeatedly you were not going to pursue anything romantic with him, though. He curses himself for not fighting you on that on that time. Damn it.
Every time you step out of the shower, or laugh, or brush your hands through your hair in that way you do when you're thinking too hard, he takes a mental photograph. Tucks it away in his vault of perfect memories of you.
Because, someday this has to end. Someday you'll find someone who fits you, who you won't be embarrassed to walk around with.
And he already knows it won't ever be him.
So, until that day, he'll save as many memories as he can. Hold you as tight as allowed. Just until then.
Toasty doesn't accept. He immediately rejects it. He's not one for casual hookups -- he's not sure he has enough confidence in himself anyway for that lifestyle.
He's happy that you look at little sad, but also depressed that you don't look sad enough. Another reminder that he wants someone more than they want him. This is why it's better to not say anything.
He offers to drive you home from the dinner and is relieved when you decline. You have something to do afterwards.
When you finally leave the restaurant and he's left alone at the table, he orders their most expensive dessert and a small glass of wine.
That.. sucked. But he's been through worse. Time to cheer himself up a bit.
----------------------
Onionthief declines. He's only sleeping with partners that want to be serious.
Oh, you only want to sleep with him? You can't picture yourself dating him. Okay, fine. Time to move on.
He mentally adds you to the long string of failed dates he's had and starts packing his dreams back into their boxes.
Maybe next time.

Why Sherlock Holmes FGO is Sus: Theories and More
Before I begin, I’d like to give thanks to my wonderful friend for all the points, art, and info searching that have been made to produce this piece, I can’t appreciate you enough for the effort you put in. 🥺🙏💕
Alright now on to it!
Tumblr media
INTRODUCTION: Humble Beginnings (Identification of the Abnormal)
If you’ve played the app Fate/Grand Order for a while you’d know about the Heroic Spirit we first encounter in a hole within Camelot’s dessert whilst going to the Atlas Institute. Smart, handsome looking, and sharp enough to discern our True Name, this man of mystery has been seen as an oddball by many long time players of the game. There are many aspects about him that raise doubt about his credibility, is he truly what he wants us to think he is? That servant is Sherlock Holmes (Ruler) and there are many theories about him having some secrets, about him either being a Foreigner class, Beast class, or something else entirely. We are attempting to catalogue all this information in one place for maximum clarity.
SECTION 1: Other Character’s Reaction (First Impression is the Best Impression) *WARNING LOSTBELT 1 AND 2 SPOILERS AHEAD*
From the first encounter in Camelot right until the end of Lostbelt 2, there are many instances of characters reacting to his presence in….interesting ways.
Bedivere, when first coming in contact with Holmes in Camelot says that "I suppose I've never really been good with people like him. He reminds me of Merlin."
It could refer to the mysterious manner in which both Holmes and Merlin conduct themselves, but better to keep in mind that Merlin is a Grand Caster, and that he manifests as a servant due to specific circumstances (he is not dead).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Camelot, Mash assumes that Holmes must be Caster class and that the original novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle must have been biographies penned by Dr. Watson under a pen name. Holmes corrects her, saying that: "My true identity, my essence, is slightly different from what you may think. And sad, but that is not the purpose of our gathering here today."
This dilemma is also present in the Sherlock Holmes Trial Quest (which mostly tackles the debate of whether he's a fictional character or someone who actually existed). Holmes has a line where he says:
"Ah, yes. I mentioned I was a Caster. Forgive me, I lied."
This is however immediately followed up by:
"A jest. My apologies. I couldn't help myself." 
This sort of backpedalling raises a doubt as to whether he was really Caster class before, so the nature of his former class is still a mystery. He later mentions that his Ruler class is the World telling him that not all illusions and dreams need to be laid bare.
Tumblr media
When meeting with Salieri in Lostbelt 1, Holmes introduces himself as such:"I'm Sherlock Holmes, Chaldea's administrative advisor. I became a servant through unusual means, just like you."
Salieri was only summonable as a servant  because of his reputation caused by the fact that he killed Mozart. He is under the effect of Innocent Monster. It can also be said that Salieri is a lostbelt servant and is significantly more sane than he would have been in a normal summoning, that was the unusual summoning that Holmes was refering to. Does this mean Holmes is not from Proper Human History? 
Tumblr media
Sigurd (who's under the control of Surtur), while attacking us in Lostbelt 2 says this: "So, a human and two Heroic Spirits. No, wait. Neither of you are pure Heroic Spirits, are you? You've both got something else mixed in. Hehe, hybrids then. Interesting" 
This is in reference to Holmes and Mash, who are alongside the master at this moment. Mash is a demiservant (human+servant) hence the "Hybrid" comment makes sense, but Holmes? What is the "something else" mixed in with Holmes?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Later in LB2, Holmes requests the assistance of Scáthach-Skadi in beating Surtur. Skadi says that normally she would never pay mind to what a mere Heroic Spirit had to say but: "...but in your particular case…I sense wisdom in those beautiful eyes. You remind me of Baldr, god of light." Quite a bit later, she also has this to say:"Perhaps those piercing eyes of yours in fact surpass Odin's? Mystic Eyes, perchance? ….No, that's not it. They merely reflect your wisdom born of human history's cumulative accomplishments."
She says that's not it, but the fact that it was the first thing she thought of shouldn't be ignored. 
Baldr is the god of light. Holmes' attacks consist of beams of light, and his cane lights up when he's using it in battle.
In Norse legends, Odin is said to have sacrificed one eye to the spring of Mimir in order to get ancient wisdom, the ability to perceive everything in the world. 
SECTION 1.5: More Reactions (From JP Only)
Since it is JP only and there is no official translation for NA yet, this information cannot be 100% confirmed in any way. (Most of this is from Reddit translation done by fans). But as these are also important, it's best to put this information separate section.
Moriarty's interlude involves him finding a micro-singularity in London. At some point the transmission between Chaldea and the master gets cut and Moriarty reveals he created this scenario, made the singularity and everything to get one on one time with the master. He tells us not to trust Holmes. When the time comes, we as master should choose Moriarty over Holmes. 
It has to be kept in mind that Moriarty is not a good guy, he is a character created entirely to oppose Holmes so it is natural that he doesn't trust him. For all we know, it is just emotional manipulation. 
Moriarty's very nature is tied to being the antithesis of Holmes. Holmes might theoretically go against us for the sake of humanity while also trying to keep us safe (the master is in a way, a Watson replacement to him after all) while Moriarty would gladly let humanity burn for the sake of us but also for the sake of being completely opposite to Holmes and keeping his identity as such.
However he does raise valid points, how was Holmes able to rayshift? This part was never explained, and he also mentions that his hypothesis has a fatal contradiction in the fact that Holmes risked his life to save ours. What can be inferred from this is that Holmes is a good man and is on our side, but there is something very weird about him that should not be ignored.
In Lostselt 5 it is mentioned at one point that Zeus called Holmes dangerous, he mustn't look at Zeus or the other gods and that his eyes are enemies of the world.
It has to be mentioned that this is some heavy emphasis on Holmes' eyes (Skadi mentioned Holmes' eyes twice, and she was a god as well). Is it because of the nature of Holmes that he is the one that reveals all truth? Is that in some way detrimental to gods, magic and the world in general?
Recently, from Holmes' skill upgrade interlude there was a section about Holmes saying that he is always an ally of justice and that while he may be on our side, he is still capable of evil but it doesn't change the fact that he is our ally. Even then it seems he has some secrets that can't be understood by himself.
By now with the presence of Dr. Jekyll and Helena and their recounts on what happened, it is confirmed that Holmes was actually "alive"(?)
Some of the adventures penned by Dr. Watson were actually censored versions of the original happenings, which were magical in nature.
Holmes was traumatised(?) by Helena's death back when they were both alive. He swears he would never let that happen again. (remember what happened in lostbelt 2…)
It seems that Holmes himself is not fully sure of what is secret about him. Since he utterly dislikes talking about something without being 100% sure about it (this tendency of his has gotten us in trouble before) plus his general secretive nature, it can be said that this is why he wouldn't talk about that.
SECTION 2: Weird Things That Holmes Does (And Other Questions)
Heroic Spirits are anything but normal, but there are few servants who break the norm even further, and Holmes is one of them.
Holmes is able to Rayshift (presumably) from London, to Camelot, and then to Shinjuku. There are very few servants who are able to manifest themselves. 
Musashi also appears here and there, but it's not a deliberate choice on her part. She is not able to predetermine her next destination. 
Arthur travels from a parallel world to this world, but this is due to "chasing after a certain powerful antagonist, evil omen" - so he tells.
Beast class has the skill of Independent Manifestation which would allow the servant to manifest anywhere they'd want. Merlin, Tamamo Vitch and Shiki possess it. However, it has to be noted that Holmes' rayshifts have a significant toll on his saint graph, as he is unable to fight or defend himself by the time we meet him in Camelot. While normal Independent Manifestation shouldn't lead to the depletion of the user's saint graph. Holmes' class is unknown at the time of his rayshifting. 
At the time of summoning, Heroic Spirits usually reveal their class and True Name (there also are exceptions to the rule). At the time of his summoning, Holmes doesn't reveal his Class: "Are introductions necessary? I am a detective. If you were expecting a hero, my apologies...But if you wanted a detective or an investigator, you drew the right card."
In the case of EOR Servants whose names haven't been found, they reveal their class.
Who summoned Holmes? The only thing we know regarding his presence was that it was first clearly there when he tampered with information in London.
Holmes' illustrator is Yamanaka Kotetsu, who was also the illustrator of the beasts Tiamat and Goetia
The artists who design and illustrate the characters tend to do it in groups of servants who are related to each other in some way (Pako with Arjuna and Karna Chacha and Nobunaga; Miwa Shiro with Brynhildr and Sigurd). It is strange that Kotetsu designed only Holmes, Tiamat and Goetia.
(NEW ADDITION) It should also be noted that as an illustrator Kotetsu has had previous works in a Lovecraftian Guidebook and is also the artist to the Alien God Preistess, somewhat showing how their work leans more to the outerworldly.
SECTION 3: The Design
Tumblr media
It is a very commonly noticed fact that Holmes' coat in his third ascension has a very similar shape to that of the Foreigner card artwork.
The pattern work on the coattails of the foreigner art and the inside (blue) part of Holmes' coattails have a very similar, if not exactly same pattern running down the entire length of it. The sphere summoned in Holmes' Noble Phantasm also has the same pattern on its sides and front.
There is a "fog" around Holmes in his third ascension, which is reminescent of the smoke in the card art. (Also can be the London smog).
The glowing section of the abdomen of the being reminds one of the metallic corset that Holmes wears. 
There are 4 notches of smoke on either side of the being (total 8), under their cape. If we stretch our interpretation, then it could mean Holmes' arms and the metal arms that he has is also equal to 8.
In that tangent, the shape of the coat is also similar to that of Saver class Buddha, the fantasy trees from Lostbelt 3 and 4, and the Shadows made by the 6th imaginary element.
The Endless Knot / Shrivatsa symbol on his shoulders is one of the many references of his connection to Tibet (faking his death after the Final Problem). It is an important symbol in both Jainism and Buddhism.
Some of its interpretations include:
The eternal continuum of mind.
The union of wisdom and method.
Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes the wisdom of the Buddha
the endless cycle of suffering or birth, death and rebirth within Tibetan Buddhism.
Tumblr media
The cane that Holmes wields has a pattern on its handle in the shape of a Prayer Wheel. 
However, we are not able to find the meaning behind the script on the cane. Both of us attempted to translate it but failed. If anyone can translate the meaning it would be greatly appreciated.
The holographic books in the base of the unidentified sphere have a pattern on their front that greatly resembles a lotus. 
Tumblr media
In Holmes' third ascension, there are a number of magical circuits on his coat.
The circuits are almost only on his left side, with very few circuits on his right side. It's not like it was woven into it, were that the case the circuits would have been all over his coat in a more even distribution. It's almost like an impact radius.
The circuits are very similar to the ones visible on the title screen of the lostbelts, as well as the patterns seen on the fantasy trees.
CONCLUSION SECTION: Something's Up (It's Big Brain Time)
It's clear that something is very strange about Holmes, from his interactions to his design, it's clear that there is too much effort into throwing these hints that it's not just a red herring.
Is he a Foreigner? Beast? Counter Guardian? Some other unknown extra class? It cannot be said at the moment. Holmes' role as a revealer itself is dangerous to mystery and magic, so it can be anything.
 It is also not necessarily true that just because Holmes has all these abnormalities, that he will betray us, or is on the side of evil. When has there been a clear cut side of good or evil anyway? It can be argued that we are the villains in some way, as we bring about the end of these timelines to safeguard our own proper human history. 
Holmes has always been on the side of humanity and will continue to be, the question is what the reveal will be, why and how. That, only time and future chapters can answer, all we can do is speculate.

hey Ky! ♡♡
good to know you're alright. you've got all my hugs and love <3 ik i said it in dms already, but i really love your art! when did you start practicing, if that's okay to ask ?
it did! i tried reading it again and it was so soft and comforting i just fell asleep right after :') thank you so so much again. ♡
we'll have to wait until the other harbingers come out to see what they're like,,, sometimes i wish genshin waw already finished so we'd get the whole plot already :(
that's true. she even gets angry whenever someone says that the traveler shouldn't trust her or that they're going to leave her. and tbh the way she took care of Teucer just depicts her as a very caring friend, even when she gets annoyed ;;
also about kaeya's constellations. mhy knows who kaeya mains are and purposely doesn't give them his cons. the amount of people on reddit asking whether they should build their C3+ kaeya is- >:( i really hope you'll get his cons soon or that he'll be featured in at least one banner oml
by the way, you made a post asking for headcanons, right? can i participate and (if you want) hear yours ? :0
hehe, take care of yourself too! you have to direct some of your kindness towards yourself <3 love you, have a good day! ♡
- 🦊
Hmm actually not too long ago, here and there for about two years? I don't have much free time haha-
OIKJVKSEUIJFVIHU I'm so glad to hear that!! I hope you rested well <3
Right? Or at least release more-- I mean come on, bartending and photography is fun but our abyss sibling is probably very annoyed watching us serve drinks to the people that screwed them over /j
Mhm! And every interaction she has with kids is one that's nurturing and her doing her best to make them feel at home and I love her-- even with Dusky Ming, the ghost girl from Liyue! In the Tsurumi quest she unintentionally called her scary and then despite being several nations away, she said "I'm sorry, Dusky Ming!" She's so sweet- I just can't see her having bad intentions. She's a bit dense and probably has ulterior motives, but no, she's a pure soul and likely wouldn't just use us like a doll.
EXACTLY. Might be Kaeya torturing himself, only going to people who don't love him. I mean he sought out Diluc that night because he felt like he deserved that punishment. Celestia itself had to intervene because he could've died (his vision). kaeya come home more pls i'll treat you well, just accept my love dammit
YES PLEASE I'd love to hear them! One of my favorites is that Kaeya and Diluc took ballroom dance classes as children and thus, are very good at it.
I'll certainly do my best! You too, love, remember that I love having you here and I'm always so excited to see you in my inbox. <33

Pssst, 3, 4 (Sorry i just can't not !! ❤) aaaannndd 14 please?! 🍀)
(HEHEHE, thank youu!! ❤)
3. A report written by your OC’s teacher or mentor
Dear Mother and Father,
I hope this letter finds you well! Exploring the countryside has been positively riveting, though I’ll admit my apprentice is perhaps a bit more at ease here than myself? I may still be too accustomed to the finer things in life…. However, I still feel for those stuck sleeping in beds stuffed with straw. Kieran’s having the time of his life, though, even in towns so similar to his own! I’m excited for him to see Othain- I think you all will get along wonderfully. As far as wizardry goes, however, he still has quite a way to go…. He seems to have an aptitude for magic, but his memory of the finer details of spellwork tends to be shaky. Since this is my first time taking the role of teacher (no, running tutoring sessions at the institute really isn’t the same, though I appreciate the vote of confidence!), I’m doing my best to cater lessons to his learning style. Still, there will always come a point where learning magic comes down to rote memorization and practice, and repeated mistakes tend to leave Kieran a bit discouraged. He does, however, show some aptitude for natural magics? I’ve of course been tutoring him primarily in the basics with a bit of a bias towards Abjuration, but I’m beginning to think Evocation will be more fitting… Much to do, much to try!But listen to me, prattling on like an old school teacher! I promise to send another letter at the next township we reach!Much love,
Surana4. A letter from your OC to their love interestHey Ben!
Sorry to go so long in between letters- we just spent what I’m gonna guess was about 4 days diggin around in a dang cave. (I promise I’m fine though, barely a scratch on me, so don’t worry!) I love the earth, but that’s the longest I ever wanna spend more or less buried in it. Hopefully you’ve had a little more freedom back at the church, haha! How is everything? I hope you’re doin well! I wish you were here- “here” at the lodge, I mean, not “here” in the cave! I wouldn’t wish that level of bein cooped up on ya, hehe. I’ll be headin up your way soon as I can. I swear, you’re the only thing that makes how damn cold it gets up there worth it! I’ve gotta get a warmer cloak or something with how often I’m up there nowadays. (Unless I can just stay warm in your arms) Once this is over, you’ve gotta come down southside sometime, see what an actually warm summer feels like! Especially if it means you’ll get to see the sunflowers in bloom- I can finally point out the resemblance to ya, hehe!I miss you so bad it’s drivin me crazy. Luckily by the time you read this, I’ll probably be halfway to the church! (I’m bringin back souvenirs too, so you better be ready for a mess a’ gifts!) I love you, and I can’t wait to see you again.
Always yours,
Kieran
14. Your OC talking about your favorite quest
“My favorite quest, huh? Man…. That’s a tough one! I gotta say, it diiid get us on the hook for treason, but goin’ through the Empress’ vault was really somethin’. All this cryptic magic shit scattered around, Lander gettin’ all buddy buddy with fuckin’ EDIAS, the head engineer, and Nox paradin’ around pretendin’ to be head bitch Adra Balfor herself? Shit was wild!”
