#diluc bennett found family au

Hey I got genshin brain rot and for that I am infodumping every thought I’ve had about my personal AU where everything is the same except Kaeya is a teenager. Like around Bennet & Razor age.he is teen bro
Main Story Bits
Kaeya gets found by Crepus when he is actual baby, does not have any memory of Khaenri'ah save for very vague infant memories of the aesthetic. For a while everyone’s best guess for his origins is that a group from Sumeru had a really unfortunate fate, based on the general wreckage he was found in.
Your usual fluffy headcanons about a happy Ragnvindr childhood. Kaeya never doubts himself as part of the family but he does have this desire to learn more about where he originally came from. He’s real into learning about Sumeru culture and customs and Crepus and Diluc do their best to support it!
Actually doesn’t wear an eyepatch for most of his early life. Crepus took him to a pediatrician and it was like “yeah I guess it’s weird but he doesn’t seem to have vision problems so let’s say heterochromia”
The brothers still have estrangement issues in present times because that’s what happens when you’re like eleven, your dad dies, and your older brother/only living relative leaves to go on a vengeance quest
But also there’s estrangement because on the night of Crepus death /something/ happens. A something that Kaeya can’t fully remember other than it gave him a vision and that clues Diluc in that his baby brother has more intense origins than he thought. Kaeya’s eye is more for just looking pretty, And the Abyss does not need someone to know they are a spy to make use of what they can see.
This doesn’t mean Diluc /blames/ him but it’s definitely sort of a “I have to keep my distance while I’m looking for information to help him to protect Kaeya from the Abyss order” kind of situation and both of their communication is pretty shit
Dilic comes back with the impression that his baby brother has entered his angsty teen phase from how he behaves around him. Kaeya also thinks Diluc is in his angsty teen phase.
Kaeya holds an honorary knight position like the Traveler rather than being an official captain in the Ordo, both due to his age and because he feels he has a bigger duty of being responsible for the winery as the only member of his family in Mondstadt for three years (and there’s no theoretical emotional hang ups for taking up that responsibility like with canon Kaeya) If you are a snooty wine tasting businessman saying he doesn’t know anything about wine when he can’t legally drink it he will humiliate you.
Still has sort of an information network going on but it’s mainly sourced on him publicly being a Good Good Boy and all the grannies in Mondstadt want to give this Nice Young Man the hot goss. Dorothy thinks she’s all that with her prize winning Ceclias but did you hear her grandson is looking into being a Treasure Hoarder? smh smh
Maybe he finds out about the Darknight Hero and forces Diluc into doing some Batman and Robin shit idk.
Other Extra Tidbits
Kaeya and Fischl are besties, eyepatch solidarity. Kaeya had a chunni pirate phase and that’s why he wears the eyepatch.
No one has told him that Grandpa Ragnvindr  was not actually a pirate.
Barbara and Kaeya are also friends in a “we had to hang out while our siblings hung out” kind of way
Rosaria is considered by Kaeya to be the coolest person in Mondstadt (and he’s right) and sees her as a role model. Rosaria’s def aware that she should probably be a responsible adult to keep him from going down a similar path as her but she is not. The best. At role modeling. She will let him have cigarettes if he asks is all I am saying.
Actually he and Bennett are also ride or die. Oh you can’t handle being part of Benny’s adventure team? Sad. Kaeya’s built different. Bennett will also be brought along to ask Rosaria for cigarettes behind the church.
If anyone does wanna do anything with these ideas  you can totally go for it as long as there’s proper crediting. I sort of have a plot hook idea of “ Canon Diluc goes into a funky domain, comes out and learns he swapped places with his alternate self and has to Deal With It and uncovering what sort of research Alt!Diluc was doing.”, but that is also open because me gathering enough spoons together to write a narrative story is a pipe dream.

Okay, I have returned to my roots and am now back on my TMNT 2012 Brainrot after several years and as a 14 year old
So have a TMNT 2012 x Genshin Impact au with my own designs (that I will post next time) and headcanons
So here we go
So the premise is, the turtles are yokai aka kappa who were trained and raised by Hamoto Yoshi who they call splinter due to the fact that he uses dendro attacks, Leo is the eldest of them being 19, Raph is the second eldest who is 18, Donnie is 17 making him the middle child and Mikey is the youngest being 10, the Kraang are apart of the Abyss and do both human and animal experimentation with mutagen, which is how mutants/yokai came to be now for some reason I made amber getting kidnapped and turned into a Rabbit mutant/yokai and getting emotionally adopted by Usagi Yojimbi and this also causes a whole Lumiamber of Eulamber moment take you pick but don't worry she gets turned back to normal
Now they have different personalities in this au
Raph is a mix between is ROTTMNT incarnation and 2003 incarnation and uses a claymore making him a bit of a softie tsundere who loves animals and his brothers and bcs of this he has a Geo Vision, he mainly focuses on being the main dps with his geo constructs and sand copies but he also makes for a great tank
Donnie is literally a geeky nerd with a slight case of ADHD who loves making tons of inventions and has a polearm which is why he has an Electro Vision, he makes for a great dps and support because he can take out his enemies with constant elemental reactions and continuous electro damage like Oz
Leo has a Hydro Vision and uses swords and is a mix between his 2012 incarnation and 2003 incarnation making him the tired mom friend who is also the holder of the braincell although he loves his bros, he may not be good at dealing hydro damage but he has one mean Physical Damage stat and also speed
Mikey is a potato who loves to eat pizza and is basically ROTTMNT Mikey but with more ADHD and more baby since he's literally 10, he is a BEAST he has a pyro vision and is like a mix between Bennet, Klee and Diluc Making a monster on the field

 Lumine’s found family I mean- Genshin Team dynamic headcanons GO!! I’ve been thinking about them a lot
(more under cut)
Diona absolutely ADORES Ayaka but will never admit it cause she’s too tsundere but really not only doesn’t Ayaka drink alchohol she also makes Lumine happy who also happens to be Diona’s favorite mom person
Xingqui and Ayaka are the teams resident wallet no you can not convince me otherwise
Diona and Venti often bicker mostly Diona cause all Venti does is tease her but really when things settle down you can see them napping with eachother under an apple tree
Diona has no damn clue half the words Xingqui is saying cause she’s like 12 and he has a vocalbulary of a scholar
Everyone fucks with Xingqui about his handwriting (which he hates) yes even Ayaka although she tries to be as NICE as possible DIona and Venti however is free game
Ayaka is very interested in the culture outside of Inazuma so her interest was peaked about Venti’s music she likes listening to his ballads and tales and sometimes even laughs to some of his tales about Barbatos
Diona is perfectly aware Venti is Barbatos and Zhongli is Morax cause she was THERE while Xingqui also knows about Zhongli being Morax is he still miffed by him faking his death? a little but he isn’t aware of Venti being Barbatos, Ayaka is blissfully unaware of the chaos sorrounding this team
Are they aware of the dark and foreboding secrets sorrounding Tevyat due to they’re travels with Lumine? yes, will they ever TALK about said secrets with others outside the group? absolutely no
Ayaka and DIona WILL beat the shit out of Childe, XIngqui and Venti are getting the popcorn
The team is VERY reluctant about fighting Hilichurls now (Venti especially cause how tf was he supposed to know this is what Celestia did with the survivours???)
Venti wishes he could talk but can’t
XIngqui gives free therapy sessions (cause he’s apparentally the only one stable enough and with no trauma) Ayaka can’t do it cause she’s to sweet for that
Yes the team and Lumine are the Diona Protection squad and will NOT hesistate to beat the shit out of the creepy drunkards
Venti teases Ayaka a lot over her baby gay crush on lumine
Yes, the team played wingman along with Thoma and Ayato to get them together
Diona sorta regrets it sometimes cause of all the mushy stuff she has to endure now but at least Lumi is happy
yes, Xingqui derives inspiration from Ayalumi for his book YES he misses his cryo boyfriend because of it
If someone even THINKS of insulting the Traveler you can be sure that person will suffer from a snowstorm of pain
Diona is the only good healer in the team cause Xingqui is more of a Hydro Support

*Lumine rushes by with an armful of water bottles*
Venti: What's going on?
Ayaka: Lumine wouldn't drink water.
Venti: ...And?
Ayaka: And I asked them how fast they could chug an entire bottle.
Lumine, loudly: 16 OUNCES IN TEN SECONDS, BITCHES!

Tyranny ⊱⊰ Genshin!Various
Tumblr media
A/N: VILLAIN MC MEDIEVAL AU. Unlike my WIPs, this is just a lovely scenario I made up~ Kudos to the various Villainess manhwas I've been reading lmao- but wait, MC is an actual villain. Oh dear.
➸ Part Two — Three — Four
✤ she/her
✤ Death, blood, torture, and nudity (mentions)
✤ LIs in this section: Kazuha, Xingqiu
✤ LIs for the second part: Bennett, Alatus, Diluc, Childe
Tumblr media
The world was a sinister place to be in. Sometimes, you wished you never opened your eyes to this place—but if you hadn't, you'll have never seen the faces of your older twin siblings. Aether and Lumine looked after you to the best of their abilities even if you all are gated with social standing. You three were orphaned peasants, but you didn't care. They loved you and you loved them, no one was going to tear you three apart.
But of course—life was wicked.
You were only eleven when it happened, your siblings thirteen. You've always been the sickly child, so your beloved brother and sister were out buying things with the money thrown to them at the streets. Oftentimes, they earned it themselves. So imagine your horror when you trudged out of your poor excuse of a bed, struck with fever, to the plaza where they've gone to—only to find them being beaten to death. Framed of stealing. But they would never steal. They would never and you knew that because they worked so hard day and night, helping around town in exchange for bits of money. You could not bear the fear that petrified you in place as Aether thrashed, yelling underneath the feet of strong, older men. He was raging, bellowing for the others to take their filthy hands off his sister, Lumine, who was screaming. Hands were all over her and you were so, so scared for her. And that was when she saw you.
"No! [Name], run! Get away from here!
The look on Aether's face when he realized that you were present gave you nightmares. It didn't take long before he was crying out for you to run- before they get you, too. The men were quick to silence both of your siblings, and when they began to stalk towards you, you ran. As fast as you could. To get help from anyone- anywhere! The villagers in town loved your siblings because they were helpful in all situations. So why-?
"Please..! My siblings- y-you have to help them!"
Why wasn't anyone helping? The stationed guards, too... why? Was it because you were a peasant..? No matter how much you screamed... how much you cried.. why weren't they doing anything? Even when you were grabbed by the hair and dragged back screaming, dizzy and hot from your fever, no one was helping. They were all looking away, afraid. It was cruel. They were cruel. Your siblings didn't deserve this. None of you deserved this. But at least, you thought as you were thrown against the wall, at least I'd be seeing them soon. Help came when you least expected it. When your vision was closing in to the darkness, help came in the form of a woman who beat the assaulters in less than a minute. She helped you. But your siblings were too far gone.
That woman was named Rhinedottir. A Duchess of the Kingdom. She gave your siblings a proper burial and took you in the Manor as her step-daughter, where you met Albedo. Your new brother, the same age as Aether. You avoided him at all costs, not wanting him to replace your dearly beloved siblings, and he was oddly fine with that. Your enmity was validated, after all. For such a child to go through to something... You found out that Rhinedottir hadn't taken you in as her daughter for no reason. She was cognizant of your burning hatred for the citizens, the guards—everyone. It was almost ironic how you loathed the people but not the nobility nor the Imperial Family. It turned out that Rhinedottir was searching for someone to help her overthrow the Imperial Family, someone who had done her wrong by banishing her from the Kingdom. All because of a mistake that could be amended. Albedo claimed the title of Duke at a young age and was hiding his mother the entire time, in on the plan to overthrow the royalty. He, however, had no intention of claiming the throne. You were the perfect person to add to the mix. So, you took the offer with no hesitance. You've got nothing to lose anymore. What else could life take away from you? It was about time... it was about time to take others' lives. It was revenge—revenge for Aether and Lumine, who could've been here with you. This mindset stuck around in your journey to queendom. It was difficult to learn things day by day, and at such a limited time, too. Rhinedottir had given you eight years. Eight years to learn everything. It was immensely difficult, having to catch up to studies taught at your age, from geography to politics. She was making sure you were the perfect fit—and you were. No, you are. Albedo had helped you along the way. He was silent, the complete opposite of Aether, but you appreciated his presence. He was there for when you would wake up from nightmares, reliving the memories of your siblings' deaths. And he was there, too, when you debuted into nobility eight years later. The same day your new family would create havoc—kill the Imperial Family. Leave no heirs behind. No hard feelings. It was a bloodbath.
Corpses upon corpses, skulls upon skulls, and sitting atop with a golden crown stained with blood was you.
[Name], the Bloodthorned Queen.
"A beautiful a rose she may be, remain vigilant of the thorns that you see."
Tumblr media
Kazuha
The Kaedehara. Ah yes, you remember them. Once of nobility, now reduced to mere peasants—now the only son is a simple servant at your beck and call. To be honest, you do not know if he loathes you and your new family for claiming the throne and calling the only Kaedehara left to the Palace only to make him a servant. Still, he was no simple servant. He was proficient with the blade, so he served as your personal Knight, as well. He would draw his blade to anyone—whenever you want.
"My, it's lovely today, isn't it?"
Kazuha doesn't respond, already used to your rhetorics as the two of you stroll down the city. He is exactly a step behind you at the right, a second away from any of your commands.
The citizens cower at the sight of you, walking with well-refined grace, willfully ignorant of the fear you cause them.
It feels nice.
The smile on your face has been practiced ever since you accepted Rhinedottir's contract, so keeping it up as you enter the nightmarish alleyway is done with relative ease.
For a moment, it feels like the hems of your grandiose attire is being stained by the same blood that has spilled here years ago. You try not to remember Aether and Lumine's faces as you cross the alley, ending up in a specific section in the city.
You can never forget this place.
"H-Her Majesty, the Queen is here!" exclaimed a young girl who throws herself to her knees afterward.
The butterfly takes flight with its impeccable chain reaction a second later. Faces, faces you know and remember stare in horror as they started kissing the ground.
An old woman, the baker, the one you've gone to for help, shrinks when you walk towards her.
Each graceful step is followed by impending doom.
"Kazuha,"
The silver-haired man unsheathes his blade, the scintilla on the silver earning pitifully restrained shrieks. He goes to step forward, void of emotions, but you press a hand to his chest.
You open your palm and he glances at it once—before handing you the sword.
The woman groveling at your feet begins to clutch the ends of your gown, weeping.
Sneering, you angle the weapon by her neck.
"Did I ask you to soil my dress?"
She jumps back, shivering. "N-no, I'm sorry, my-my Queen! Please spare me, I-I'll do anything!"
Oho? How laughable.
"Anything?"
Your reiteration causes her to jolt, undoubtedly thinking twice over her slurred words, but she nods in a frenzy anyway. It is vexing how she can't remember you.
"Yes..!" she cries.
You laugh, tilting her head up with the use of the sword.
"Then die."
Her eyes started dilating, tears spilling as her cries echo in the silent district. There are plenty of onlookers, but none wish to come and help.
How does it feel? You ask in your head as the woman clings to your dress again, begging for mercy. Pitiful.
You were once the pitiful one.
"P-please, my Queen! I have a family!"
"Funny."
When she gets a good look at your face, she goes silent. There is a light of recognition in her eyes that has you smiling in triumph.
"I had one, too."
SLICE!
Splat-!
The screams from around the place are so infuriating. It's as if they haven't been watching the executions you've put out at least twice a month.
Or perhaps their fear is something different.
Perhaps it's because they never thought it would be them.
How unfortunate. You've just been saving the best for last. This whole segment of the city.. refused you once. They killed your siblings.
"Kazuha," he takes the sword from your hands and wipes the stray blood that has stained your cheek like a tear.
"Yes, my Queen?"
You close your eyes, relishing in the warmth of his palm. It's comforting, this servant—this Knight's hand. Sometimes you are aware how his optics hold the faintest trace of sympathy, but you do not care.
"Silence them all."
His hand departs from your cheek and he bows.
"As you wish."
≿————- ★ ————-≾
Sometimes, you'll get lost in the waves of your memory. Where you are doesn't matter —in the great hall, the throne room, the barracks— your mind will still get swarmed.
More often than not, they are nightmarish fiends that seek to hinder you from doing anything. Sometimes, they work, most in at the strike of midnight.
The moon is high up in the sky and the kingdom is silent for now, everyone is at peace except for you. Unable to sleep, you stand by one of the palace's grand balconies, overlooking the city you once roamed in as a peasant.
You swallow the lump in your throat.
I did it, Lumine... Aether. The cold wind sweeps by as if they are responding, and you hold yourself close. If only you two are here..
They would hug you close, if they're with you—and you'll smile with them. But laughter now is a privilege.
It is something that wealth cannot buy, you know that the second you accepted the contract. Now, you are at the top with a bloodstained crown, you have everything.
But you're never truly happy.
There is no one to comfort nor assure you when you are sick and weeping, no one to caress your cheek when you feel burdened by the world.
But do you care?
You don't, for you know this to be the outcome after choosing to walk on the bloody path.
You do not care, but yet, you weep for yourself.
"If I may be so bold," someone's voice flutters in the wind as your chin is turned to the right.
Stunned that someone has caught you in a moment of weakness, your eyes are wide. Carmine pools reflect back at yours as the silver-haired servant reaches to wipe your tears with a handkerchief.
Kazuha? You flinch with a sharp intake of air.
He pauses at this, withdrawing that instant to dip his head.
"Punish me as you see fit, my Queen."
He doesn't move and you keep your stunned stare fixated on his bowing profile. It's midnight—since when did he appear.. ?
Ah, he saw you.. !
Hastily wiping your own waterworks, you swallow again, collecting your composure. "No need."
He visibly tenses, but you are already walking away, wanting nothing more but to retire to your room after being caught in a state of vulnerability. How encumbering this is.
Kazuha only uprights himself when the doors to the grand balcony shuts and he hears the click clacks of your footwear fading away.
He then flitters his eyes onto the handkerchief on his hand. There is an evident damp stain on it. Tears.
Truly, when he is giving the halls a last look over, he didn't expect an awakened Queen to head outside. If she isn't at the throne room answering the pleas, or at the study in debate with officials, she keeps to herself.
So, seeing a murderer cry alone in the dead of night is far from his expectations. He honestly thought he was dreaming.
But he wasn't.
Kazuha doesn't know the Queen's story, nor the reason for her waterworks, but as he pockets the handkerchief, there is a single thought in his head.
The Queen is much more human than anyone thought.
Tumblr media
Xingqiu
Ah yes, the son from Feiyun. A noble house whose first successor had been slain after challenging your rule. Although the same age as you, Xingqiu, the next successor after the death of his brother, has since then had bad blood with the Khemia family. He's chivalrous, but what can chivalry do at your reign? He knows better than to disobey, so his enmity lies deep inside, unvoiced yet acknowledged. You do not bother with his hatred. He knows nothing about your upbringing.
"But my Queen, this is just too ludicrous to even consider!" Xingqiu is, as always, the only one in the Court of Exchequer who dares to speak against you.
From the head of the table, you arch an amused eyebrow, motioning for him to continue.
He does so without a beat, uncaring of the fearful looks cast his way.
"The Kingdom is already wealthy as it is, why must we raise the taxes twofold? We'd be extorting the citizens!"
Reluctant murmurs of agreement follow his exclamation and a haughty laugh spills from your wine-colored lips. With a snap of your fan, you point it to him.
"You miss a part. The nobles are not excluded from tax."
"M-My Queen!"
"Nobles will pay, as well!?"
"This absurdity.. ! Nobles have never paid taxes!"
Ugh, this chatter. As if Kazuha can pick up on your growing discontent, he unsheathes his sword, the sound scaring the officials into silence.
Grateful for the swift quietude that swept the room, you speak up again.
"You must be feigning idiocy, have you mistaken me for a fool?"
Xingqiu recoils at this, "No, your Grace!"
Hm? You narrow your eyes with a tight-lipped smile, "Did you all truly think that your crimes will go undiscovered? You lot, stealing wealth from not only the citizens but the Crown, as well."
There are a lot of figures who shrink when this is addressed and you sigh, satisfied. Caught you.
You aren't meant to attend these kinds of meetings, but you've gotten word from a trusted few about the unlawful exchange and thievery done by a handful of nobles.
"So since you're all bleeding with gold, anyway, then contribute to the Kingdom,"
You lay your fan down, content at their stammers.
"But wait... ! Don't you have reasons for deciding to amass illegal wealth? Of course!" you clap your hands as if recalling crucial information.
"Count Tricus, you were stealing so you can flee to the enemy Kingdom.. weren't you?"
Xingqiu gawks at this, his head turning to the shaking man in question. The latter is unable to hide his own fear.
The amber-eyed noble is wordless as the Queen sighs, her servant stalking off to the side, inching closer towards the mentioned Count.
"We are on the verge of possible war.. perhaps you were thinking of escaping to their safety after divulging the plans of the Crown? Oh, that simply won't do, Count!" she snaps her fingers and Kazuha traipses to the back of the man.
"You must've forgotten who I am, Tricus."
Snap!
"Wait, wait, your Majesty- I only stole a tiny portion! I could return it with interest, sp-spa-!"
Slice!
Splat!
"I am your Queen."
The beheaded drops to the floor, the separated head rolling like dice across the table, staining blank sheets crimson. Horrified gasps ring in the room and Xingqiu is frozen in place.
He hasn't witnessed an execution this up close.
How- how can the Queen decide something so quickly without warning!? He feels his blood boiling. To carelessly execute someone without a proper trial... !
"My Queen, you are being too hasty. Eliminating a noble when it's supposed to be decided over by the Parliament is imprudent!"
"Hm?"
The [c]-eyed Queen smiles his way, her cheek resting on her palm. It takes him all that he can to not yield to his emotions.
After mindlessly beheading his brother... now she's doing the same thing to possible innocents!?
Her stare on him is unbelievably heavy and it's only when he realizes that he's locking in on the eye contact does he avert his gaze, knowing how much the royal looks down upon someone challenging her stare.
He can't. He can't die. His brother's legacy...
"It appears that I've made someone nauseous. Well," one command from the lady and knights storm through the doors. "Throw them all in the dungeons. Await the Parliament's verdict."
"I-" Xingqiu falls back to his seat as the knights start to yank nobles and officials from their chairs, some going as far to haul them when they stubbornly cling onto something. I'm innocent!
Swarmed with fear and disdain for the unfairness of everything, he slams his eyes shut, submitting to the biased Queen who wants everyone to be skulls and bones at her feet.
It seems that she wants to remake the entire court from the ground up, and if it takes killing them all off, she'll see to it.
The sound of stomping greaves goes louder... and louder until the last screams of those in the room are pulled out, and someone is holding him. He's next.
A giggle makes him snap his eyes open, only to flinch when he sees none other than the Queen herself holding him by the arm.
"Why so fearful, Xingqiu?" she whispers as her servant places down a pile of filed papers. "You are innocent, are you not?"
Heat rises to Xingqiu's cheeks—be it of vexation or fluster—as the [c]-eyed Queen peers down at him, her lips daringly close.
"Your chivalry is admirable... if only you extend such quality to those worthy of it."
He furrows his brows. Is she implying that his fellow noblemen are not worthy of respect? A Queen she may be, her audacity knows no bounds.
[C] eyes flutter to the papers on the table, her fingers reaching to grab him by the face and make him look at the compilation of parchment.
"Written there are the crimes of the arrested aristocrats, please yourself with the knowledge of their felonies. Since you doubt your Queen so much, don't you?"
"That's.."
The fingers grabbing his cheeks slip off and the female royalty gives him a look over, complacency all over her features. Without saying anything else, she exits through the enormous double doors, her servant following close behind.
Xingqiu is left behind in the now-empty conference hall, clutching the documented evidence in his trembling hands.

Domestic Headcanons
➜ Character/s: genshin boys (except aether)
➜ Word Count: 987 words
➜ Theme/s: domestic obv. teeth-rotting fluff. beri beri soft:)
➜ Note/s: i know i did say i was working on the part two of my zhongli soulmates au but well... i just had this idea and i suddenly found myself with this list of hc’s lmao. i promise i’m working on it and i may upload it soon!
Tumblr media
whenever ALBEDO will go to dragonspine to conduct his experiments, he will always leave a flower by your nightstand, alongside a note about how many hours, days, or weeks he will be gone. It’s your choice if you’d like to go there anyway but it was just a habit of his to always tell you where he’s going, not only if he’s to dragonspine, but he’s mostly there anyway. The flowers, you think, are his way of saying sorry for being away from you and that it’s a promise, that he will come back into your arms by the time indicated on the note. And he had never broken his promises to you.
BENNETT is the type of guy who visits you at your house and offers to wash your dishes. Yes, no matter if he didn’t really eat there or if he did, he will still insist for him to do the chore. Now it’s not something that he indeed likes doing—i mean, who likes washing dishes. But the reason why he does this, even as you two are living together, is that he’s relieved that you’re resting. He smiles whenever he sees you sitting by the dining table, or at the couch, waiting for him to finish. No matter how tired he is, he’d always think of your health first and if he does look very tired, do try to help him out because he’s willing to do anything for you. T-T
CHILDE loves cooking for you. It may have been a result of being the eldest and also a family man, but this guy knows how to cook, and he’s really good at it. He specializes in snezhnayan meals and whenever he cooks for you with a recipe from back his home, no matter if you’re from there or not, he loves showing it off and seeing you enjoy them. he might even learn the specialties of where you came from, if you’e not from the same hometown as his.
CHONGYUN, every time he comes over, will always bring you snacks. He usually has a popsicle on hand for him and whatever your favorite was, he’d buy it for you. He always knows what your favorite food is and even your cravings… he just has an intuition about it. Of course, you didn’t realize all of this because he does it so frequently until Xiangling or Xingqiu teases him about it, saying how he usually drop by Wanmin Restaurant. oops looks like he’s busted.
DILUC has a habit of being behind you. In public, he would probably place a hand by your shoulder, as simple as that. At home or whenever you two are alone, there are times he would wrap his arms around you from behind and do a back-hug. It sort of grounds him; to have you close and for him to comfortably relax with someone who he trusts and loves the most.
KAEYA likes showering together. He doesn’t know why but there’s something about the way he would feel your body warmth, along with the cold/hot water. He also feels like showering together is somehow pure and raw, that you both have nothing to hide, and it contradicts with his circumstance, actually. He may be a bit secretive, but showering together may be his way of showing his trust on you, even if it’s only by this.
when RAZOR sees you’re injured, he has a stacked bunch of wolfhooks, where he keeps it, you don’t know where, but since wolfhook has medicinal properties and he had been in the wild for so long, he knew how to take care of you with the said berry. Yes, he knows any kind of dish with wolfhook and he will cook it for you.
VENTI, no matter how obvious it is, would sing to you. And this also includes whenever you can’t sleep and when you were having a nightmare. When he wakes up or is awake and sees you having a nightmare, he would immediately be by your side, humming to himself at first as he brushes your hair and forehead gently, mostly to brush the sweat away. When he softly sings, it would mostly work, but if it doesn’t, he wakes you up with a soft voice and will sing for you afterward to help you sleep again.
XIAO does every chore with you in his free time. i mean, what can he say? he’s just-he just cares for you, okay? of course, it’s just coincidence that he helps you out whenever you’re washing clothes or drying them out, or even when you’re fixing your closet. he has no idea how to do them at first though so you have to constantly teach him until he gets it. he may look like he hates what he’s doing but he actually likes spending time with you and doing something that helps you. please reward this boy with an almond tofu and you’ll probably see him smile every once in awhile:D
XINGQIU and you buy books from the wanwen bookhouse and you’d either read them together or you buy separate books and discuss your insights on your own books before exchanging them to provide more insights afterwards. If you’re not into reading much, it would probably be the former where he reads for you or he tells you about it in his own way, may it be while you’re doing your daily chores or stuff and he’s just there, reading the words aloud, book on hand. He just likes knowing your insights because it is indeed a way of knowing a person better, which is his true goal as to why he indulges in these things.
ever since you asked, ZHONGLI had a habit of massaging you. even if he did or didn’t know how at first, he has an innate talent with it. Whenever you two are home, he will just know when you need it. you have no idea how he does it but he will straight up ask if you need a massage and you fortunately do. he has no problem in letting you indulge in this since he’s happy with just seeing you relaxing under his arms. besides, he smiles every time you fall asleep so suddenly while he’s massaging you and this warmth in his chest spreads everytime it does happen. whilst massaging you, oftentimes does he also tell stories and yeah he really likes spoiling you that much.

Tumblr media
summary: the production of genshin impact is amazing! now let’s see what the actors are really like separate from their characters
style & genre: bulleted; modern!au, general fic
warnings: mentions of drinking
notes: another idea that’s popped into my head! this is pretty random but i’ll be updating more parts if you guys like it☺️ 
Tumblr media
Aether and Lumine aren’t actually related in real life, they just look so much alike that they thought they were long lost siblings. Even off set they act like brother and sister because it feels natural after spending so much time together
Their phone contacts for each other are “my twin” and their greetings are always “i found you!”
Paimon uses a green suit to hide the lower half of her body but when she was getting used to “flying” around, she would forget that she didn’t actually fly and would step on other cast members’ toes: most of which were Aether’s
Bennett is the luckiest guy on set and actually pulled two five stars in a ten pull and hit 30 pulls to get another five star, however, he is really clumsy and trips over air every three seconds even if he watches where he walks
Diluc and Kaeya don’t hate each other but have a mutual rivalry over certain beverages. At one point they stopped talking to each other for a whole day because Diluc said the alcohol Kaeya brought him tasted cheap
Speaking of Diluc: he, Aether, and Albedo use the same brand of hair oil, only to realize when they sat next to each other and commented how familiar their “cologne” was
The drinking buddies (Kaeya, Beidou, Rosaria, Venti, Lisa, and Scaramouche) hang out on their days off sometimes
Klee really likes to be around Kaeya or Albedo because she thinks they’re good-looking. She gets excited when she’s in the same scene with either one of them so her personality is really genuine on screen
Albedo keeps chapstick in his pocket and uses it periodically between scenes. He zones out quite a lot because he gets bored easily. Yells at people to hydrate but in like a calming voice
Qiqi is already a pretty quiet kid but she likes to act and her role was perfect for her. You might see her sitting in the director’s chair when the cameras are rolling because they want her to see what she’s a part of. aw
Mona likes her hat and keeps it on most times but it always wacks people in the face when she turns. She doesn’t mind when it hits Scaramouche because he has his own hat. They have impromptu hat battles sometimes to which the costume designers get nervous about
Fischl can’t speak German for the life of her and she really likes Jojo’s and laughs in references with Razor. You might think she’s still in character off camera but no, that’s just her
Zhongli is possibly the richest person on the set but everyone else pays for all of his expenses just because. He does pay for everyone’s coffee especially when they have an early morning shoot
Scaramouche, Keqing, and Xiao have a group chat where they poke fun at other cast members showing up late and then proceeding to roast them behind their backs
They also like to change their lines in the middle of a shoot like Keqing ranting about the archons but instead she replaces them with other cast member’s names; Scaramouche replacing “when did i give you permission to issue your own orders” with “i’m hot aren’t i;” and Xiao repeatedly saying “can i eat something other than almond tofu please” or “i feel bad for this guy, he needs a hug” while looking straight into the camera
Xiao is actually a shy guy who is very kind to everyone around him so the cast was surprised when he started saying character lines because they never heard that tone in his voice before. He was mildly flustered afterwards from the compliments
Out of all the cast members, Aether forgets his lines the most even though he doesn’t say that much. When he forgets he autopilots to “windblade!”
The younger cast have a group chat to keep each other accountable for their early shooting times. But they all forget and end up late to the reading table
Signora actually did punch Venti in the stomach too hard on accident and they had to take a break as she apologized profusely to which Venti kept reassuring her that it was fine; got his gnosis back after the scene was over as symbolism for “i’m sorry i punched you in the gut really hard”
Barbara sings like an angel and the theme song for the series is written and sung by her
Childe stared at his prop bow for a good five minutes when he first got it and told the director that he didn’t prepare in using a bow but for “dual-wielding.” (plot twist: they never actually told him he was using a bow as a weapon but they knew he was a fast learner). All of the shots of him using it are genuine confusion as to how the thing works
One time with his last shot, he threw the bow on accident and hit Bennett
During the cast interviews, Venti likes to do them all with Zhongli or Xiao because they actually let him talk as much as he wants without overpowering his already loud voice
When he does it with Paimon, they tend to blow out the surrounding people’s eardrums so they were never paired again haha
Other interview pairings are Ningguang and Beidou and people like watching them together because of how soothing they sound and just the overall way they talk to each other
The opposite with Kaeya, Childe, and Lisa interviews. They keep flirting with the interviewers and viewers
“Hey girlies, watch the next episode” wInK
“Seize the day. Watch us again tomorrow night 8:30pm PST” wOnK
“What a cutie, would you like to see us again?” im blushing
Honestly, anyone could listen to Zhongli talk all day so he has longer interviews because even the people asking the questions want to keep him for longer
The whole cast is like one big family and whether they’re protagonists or not, they all have a close bond behind the scenes

kaeya and diluc angst
so i keep thinking of this scenario in my family Kaebedo AU and kaeya is dying (Maybe by lumine's hand) and he's bleeding out in albedo's arm's and his kids, Bennett, Klee and razor are sitting around him, he's whispering words of love and goodbyes to his family and standing behind them is diluc who's standing in shock, diluc moves to run to kaeya to take his fallen brother into his arms but someone pushes diluc to the side and runs pass.
the eleventh fatui harbinger runs pass with zhongli and aether hot on childe's heels. where diluc should be is some fatui who takes his place, diluc watches as childe falls beside albedo and watches childe take his brother into his arms, watches as childe calls him baby brother and say its okay to let go. watches as the family kaeya has found surround him in his final moments and passes away. without him there, he watches as this group of zagged pieces make a family with the man he disowned.

genshin impact headcanons because brainrot hours have hit and it isn't leaving soon
•••
one day if klee is feeling down, albedo will draw her a picture or let her doodle to help her feel better
because mihoyo won't make it canon, it is canon in my heart that one day kaeya and diluc will sit down and finally have a talk. maybe a hug too.
zhongli, xiao, and hu tao are 'family' (found family content my beloved) but they're all too oblivious to notice it
venti and kaeya will go to diluc's winery every once in a while. not to drink or get drunk or anything. just to annoy diluc. (which, most of the time, results in them being kicked out. literally)
speaking of venti and kaeya, they are best friends and i will die on that hill
do you think that kaeya told diluc "i love you" (PLATONIC PLATONIC PLATONIC. THEY ARE BROTHERS) and diluc was just. caught off guard for a moment but then just flipped kaeya off.
razor, bennett, fischl, chongyun, and xingqiu are all best friends as well
in a modern au, zhongli wouldn't not know what a meme is. hu tao would try so hard to explain it to him but he just. Wont Get It
twitch streamer xiao goodnight
i also think yanfei and zhongli would make good friends. like he would talk to her about the legal systems in the past while she updates him about the legal system in the present

“the president and the troublemaker” (part 1) (chilumi fic)
“Lumine is the student council president and Childe is the school’s number one troublemaker. They cross paths more than they’d like. Especially when Childe finds out Lumine’s big secret. Highschool AU à la Kaichou wa Maid-sama.”
if anyone has seen maid-sama, Lumine and Childe sometimes reminded me of Misaki and Usui so i had to write it hehe :3 if you haven’t seen it, i highly suggest it, its a very cute anime and if you like chilumi, you’ll definitely like the main couple in it! its on netflix! :D
[Fic Masterlist] // [AO3 Link]
* * *
“the president and the troublemaker” (part 1)
“Childe, for the last time, earrings are against the school uniform code,” Lumine said to him, eyes narrowing at the red jewelry dangling from his ear. He may have towered over her, but she was the student council president—she had to enforce the rules no matter what. 
Childe tilted his head, fingers grazing over his earring. “A tiny thing like this? Surely you can let me off the hook, Madame President?” 
“No exceptions. Remove it now or I will forcibly confiscate it from you.” 
He scoffed, turning away. “I’d like to see you try.”
Lumine clenched her jaw, watching his back retreat down the hallway. Oh, she could easily take it from him. But this wasn’t the place to use brute force. As much as he boiled her blood, she wouldn’t dare reveal her secret here. 
Childe, the school’s number one troublemaker: always getting into fights, never listening to authorities, doing whatever he pleased. And the worst part? He always got away with it. 
The girls of the school fawned over his good looks, the boys envied his strength, and the elders fell victim to his charisma. 
Not Lumine though. She refused to be influenced by him. Maybe that’s why he always seemed so annoyed by her. Good. 
She ripped out a page of her student council notebook, scribbling out Childe’s name and dress code violation, pocketing it to turn in later. 
She practically stomped her way into the student council room, earning a glance from the Vice President—her twin brother Aether. 
“Childe?” he asked, going back to typing on his laptop. 
Lumine slumped in her chair. “Yes,” she nearly growled. “How did you know?”
“Because he always puts you in the worst of moods,” her brother answered. “Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to put him in his place.”
“And get kicked out of school for murder? No thank you; I’m not ruining an absolutely clean record for the likes of someone like Childe.” She flipped through her notebook, seeing all her citations on said troublemaker. “Soon enough, that boy is going to get expelled, mark my words.”
Suddenly, the door burst open, and the student council reporter—a student named Bennett—dashed in, holding the side of his face.
“Madame President!” he announced. “There’s a fight breaking out in the hallway!”
Both Aether and Lumine stood. “What happened to your face, Bennett?” Aether asked. 
The reporter let out a sheepish laugh. “I, uh, tried to break up the fight but ended up getting punched in the face.”
“Okay, c’mon, let’s get you to the nurse,” Aether said, walking Bennett out the door. 
Lumine quickly walked out after them, hearing the commotion down the hallway. As she turned the corner, there was a crowd of students circled around the tussle. 
“Out of the way!” Lumine shouted. 
At the sound of her voice, many students scattered back to their classrooms, leaving only the perpetrators still fighting: a short boy with cropped blue hair and—Childe.
“Hey!” she yelled. “Break. It. Up! Or it’s suspension for the both of you!” 
The short boy gave Childe a harsh shove, adjusting his odd cap with tassels on the sides. “You don’t have to fight me every time you see me, you brute,” the boy hissed. 
Childe laughed. “C’mon, Scaramouche, don’t be like that,” the ginger said. “We were just having some fun, Madame President; no need to make a big fuss out of it.” 
Lumine glared at him. “Why are you always at the center of trouble?” 
Childe shrugged. “Life’s too boring.” 
Taking out her notebook, she scoffed. “Well, it’s about to get a whole lot more boring for you. Detention. After school. Both of you.” 
“It was just some play fighting between friends, Pres,” Childe insisted. “Don’t be so stuck-up.” 
“Not play fighting when one of my council members gets hit in the face,” she retorted angrily. 
“Can I at least be let off the hook?” Scaramouche interjected. “He was the one who attacked me.” 
The blonde sighed. “Fine. This was your first offense anyways.” 
“Today’s his first day after all,” Childe supplied. 
“It’s his first day and you welcomed him by attacking him?” Lumine asked, crossing her arms. 
He smiled. “What can I say? We know each other.” 
I want to punch that smile off his face. “Scaramouche, go back to class. Childe, you’re coming with me to in-school suspension.” 
Scaramouche muttered something under his breath and walked away, while Childe cheerfully waved goodbye to him. 
Lumine started walking down the other way, towards the ISS room, Childe’s footsteps falling in behind her. Most of the way was done in silence. Until—
“Say, Pres, why are you so stuck-up?” Childe asked. 
Lumine grit her teeth. “Have you ever thought maybe I’m not stuck-up, and maybe you’re just a troublemaker?” 
“Hey, at least I make your life a little more interesting, don’t I?”
“Not interesting. So much more unbearable.” 
“Maybe you should loosen up. Being like this won’t make you many friends.” 
“And fighting people will?” 
“Fighting is fun. You’re telling me you’ve never watched a fight and found it entertaining?”
Lumine stopped in her tracks. “Of course not. You only do it when something’s seriously on the line. Not for fun.” 
“Uh-uhm, excuse me,” a timid voice said. 
Lumine turned to find a girl, she looked young, probably a freshman, clutching a card. “Can I help you?” the president asked.
“A-actually,” the girl responded, “can I t-talk to Ch-Childe? A-Alone?” 
The blonde glanced at Childe, who shrugged back at her. Letting out a sigh, she said, “Yes, go ahead.” She was doing this for the girl. Not Childe. 
She walked ahead and turned the corner until she was out of sight and unable to hear. After a minute or so, the freshman girl ran past her, hysterically crying. Brows furrowed, she went back to Childe. 
“So, where are we going?” he asked nonchalantly. 
Asshole. “What the hell did you do to her?” Lumine asked. “Do I really need to write you up again?”  
“What? All I did was reject her confession.”
A glare at him. “Be nicer. Don’t make girls cry.” She continued walking. 
“Or maybe she should just be stronger.” 
“Don’t you dare insult a girl’s strength in front of me.” 
“I’m not insulting the strength of a woman. I’m just saying people in general could do better if only they were stronger.” His strides quickened, and soon he was in front of her. He flicked the earring dangling from his ear. “For instance, if you had the strength, you could easily rip this from my ear, and you could stop stacking up those useless dress code citations for me.” 
Lumine had to clench her teeth to stop herself from murdering him on the spot. “I’m your student council president. I don’t solve things through violence. Which is why you and I are different.” Lie, her gut hissed. 
She stopped, throwing open the door to her left, gesturing into the room. “You’ll spend the rest of the school day here.” She turned in, looking at the teacher. “Mr. Diluc, you have a student here for in-school suspension for the rest of the day.” 
Mr. Diluc glanced up from his book, expressionless. “Childe. Back so soon?” 
Childe sauntered in, taking a seat. “You know our Pres. Always working on cleaning up the school from scum like me.” 
“Good for her,” Diluc said. “Thank you, Lumine.”
Lumine nodded and closed the door behind her. Finally.
At least Childe wouldn’t be causing anymore trouble today. 
* * *
Lumine shivered as the chilling locker room hit her bare skin. Shedding her hoodie, she donned a simple black sports tank top and shorts. 
“Are they ever going to get heaters for these locker rooms?” she muttered. 
“It’s an underground fighting ring,” Aether said, “You think they can afford state-of-the-art locker rooms?” He tossed her a roll of hand wraps. 
She caught it, unraveling it, and started to wrap them around her knuckles. “You’re right. As long as they pay me, I shouldn’t be complaining.” 
Aether nodded, taking her gloves out from her gym bag. “Are you ever going to tell Mom how you get all this cash?”
“Never. She’d probably die of a heart attack.” 
“And your injuries?” 
“I try not to get any,” she said with a smirk. “If I do, then, hey, the restaurant business can be dangerous...and I can be clumsy.” 
And that was her big secret. 
In the night, Lumine was a top tier fighter in Teyvat’s underground fighting ring. She was known as “The Outlander.” 
After their father had walked out on them years ago, Lumine, Aether, and their mother were left with a huge amount of his debt to pay off. Their mother took on two jobs to support them, leaving her exhausted, sickly, and barely home. Lumine and Aether couldn’t find decent paying jobs at their age, so Lumine took matters into her own hands. 
Through her tenacity, she trained hard and started showing up to the underground fights, learning her way through the system, and eventually began fighting herself. Sure, it was illegal due to the violence and betting system, but it made good money—fast. Enough money to support their family, pay off the debt, and save some aside for her and Aether’s future.
Aether of course still worked as a cashier at a local grocery store (next to the restaurant Lumine claimed she worked at); Lumine would never let her dear brother participate in her line of work. He was only allowed to come along to cheer her on.   
She was also good at it. After some training, her instructors all praised her natural fighting instincts. In a matter of months, she had become one of the top fighters in her area. 
It was out of necessity. They needed the money. 
Of course, no one knew who she really was. She always fought with a mask on—she couldn’t let her identity be compromised. A high school student beating up all these grown adults? A chance she could be recognized and reported to authorities? No. Way. Plus, people liked the mysterious Outlander figure. Might as well milk it. 
The cheers above her swelled, and Lumine did her final stretches and prepped to go out on stage. 
“You ready to fight tonight?” Aether asked. 
Lumine slipped her mask on. “Always.” 
She made her way up the staircase, and the buzzing crowd grew louder and louder, until she entered the arena, and the cheers became deafening. 
The arena was probably around the size of her school gym, maybe smaller, but packed to the brim with cheering fans and a boxing cage in the middle. 
She made her way up to the cage, chants of “Outlander” swirling around her, and took her walk around the area, getting a feel for the night. Eventually, her mind blurred out the crowd, focusing on becoming in tune with her body. 
Tonight, her opponent was another member of the Hilichurl gang: a gang notorious for entering lots of members into these types of fights, even if they weren’t good, as a way to try and earn any kind of money for their gang. It was an easy win. Lumine barely got hit. (The Hilichurl on the other hand ended the night sobbing his heart out on stage. Lumine felt kind of bad. Kind of.)
Soon enough, she and Aether were on their way home with a fresh wad of cash in their bag, practically skipping their way past the dim street lights. As they made their way towards their bus home, Lumine rifled through her bag, realizing she had left one of her textbooks in the locker room from when she had been studying before the fight. 
She cursed. Now she had to go all the way back to the arena. “Aether, you need to get home—the next bus won’t be here for another hour.” 
“Lumine, I am not leaving you alone in this sketchy part of town.” 
“And you have to be there when Mom gets back, otherwise she’ll get suspicious.” Lumine was already turning around. “Tell her I had to stay behind at the restaurant to help clean up.” 
Her brother pursed his lips. 
“Aether. I’ll be fine. Did you seriously forget what I did to get that stack of cash?” she reassured. 
He sighed. “Fine, fine. You’re right.” He hugged his sister. “Still. Be careful, please.” 
She held up her fist which was still wrapped in the fighter’s tape. “Of course. See you back home.” 
With that, the twins went separate ways. 
Now maskless, Lumine went the back ways to the arena, entering through a side door, avoiding the still rowdy crowd of spectators gathered for the late night fights. She successfully grabbed her textbook, and walked back out the side door. Straight into somebody. 
Shit. “Excuse me,” she mumbled, keeping her head down, hoping they wouldn’t ask why some little high school girl was sneaking around the underground fighting arena. 
But then the person spoke. 
“Wow,” a familiar voice said. 
Lumine looked up, wide eyed. Shitshitshitshit—
“This is a surprise,” Childe said, “Madame President.”

Hellooo hope you're goind well :) idk if the post about hdc team compo is still available? And idk what exactly is the inbox? But my team is Razor-Chongyun-Bennett-Xingqiu or Razor-Kaeya-Bennett-Childes if you have some ideas about them :)
HI THERE SORRY FOR THE WAIT hhhh yeah the inbox is. the asks im just not very good with words
i don't want my gay heart to corrupt my judgment but that first team is a queer high-school au. also was my first team but this isn't abt me SO
chongyun/xingqiu and razor/bennett are already obvious so let's see how they mingle. xingqiu is the jester in that whole thing, he keeps pranking everyone - but razor doesn't really understand the concept, and bennett doesn't need to be pranked bc his bad luck already does the trick, so he comes back to chongyun as his primary victim
they all sleep curled up together and razor is the one who watches over them bc it's his pack and he has to protecc
bennett kept apologizing about his luck and xingqiu and chongyun had to reassure him a lot for him to stop - once, his bad luck literally overrode chongyun's positive energy and they got to see a spirit, which scared tf out of benny and razor but made chongyun extremely happy. chongyun adores benny since then!!!
not saying a polycule would be adorable but im just gonna put this here and curse my gay heart
SO FOR THE OTHER ONE, kaeya and childe are the big brothers and razor and bennett the litol ones. honestly they just work too well together, it's really wholesome and heartwarming and both kaeya and childe sometimes get emotional - kaeya bc he hasn't felt this way since his fight with diluc, childe bc he misses his own siblings. found family with co-parenting and weird ass kids? sign me in i want a tv show about the four of them

BESTIE U BETTER MAKE A POST TALKING ABT ALL UR AUS PLSPLS I NEED IT
Omg ive never had anyone actually want me to talk so like
this makes me so happy?
Okay so Royal AU!: Lumine and Aether are the twins of the Kingdom of Abyss, they originally were to rule together but when Aether got the chance to explore the outside world and found that the war they've been raging on the rest of Tevyat is wrong so he leaves and he travels across the rest of the world and learns alot about the world they live in. Kingdoms: Dragonspine- Under the rule of Albedo (had to stop myself from writing Albehdo), Not many people live here, The second most distrusted/liked kingdom (first is Abyss ofc), the people that are just outside of Dragonspine in game are the main citizens because I'm very creative Sucrose is from Mondstadt and lives there but is found in Dragonspine more often, along with Klee Mondstadt- Not quite sure who's the ruler but I'm leaning towards Jean as the representing Princess/Duchess whichever has the better status ( i think Princess) She's constantly found with the trusted knights Amber and Kaeya to insure nothing bad happens to her. Also the common citizens are : Venti- the most popular bard Diluc- Owner of the best Winery in all of Teyvat Lisa- The School Teacher and Librarian of Mondstadt Noelle and Bennett- The young couple that works for the Knights....but aren't knights. Fischl- She's some random girl that nobody knows anything about, she's certainly not from Mondstadt but she's accepted anyways, she'll often come with new intel one the other kingdoms Liyue- Hehe...okay so this one.....isn't developed at all. The only reason I've yet to write it. Thought about maybe it's run by a series of clans all ruling over different areas but....idk Inazuma- Actaully, a dictatorship type thing Baal/ Raiden Shogun is the "Queen"
Yae Miko is the advisor Ayaka is a princess of a noble family thinking of revolution (im so creative :D) Yoimiya is just some girl that popped out of nowhere and quickly gripped the handles of Inazuma and started to turn things upside down along side Ayaka And that's all I've got for this one so far, I know Im missing like half the games characters but this is something I've thought of recently, like...today High School AU 1: Aether is the new kid, and Albedo was assigned as his welcomer person. Aether ends up picking a dorm with Albedo, Xingqiu, and Chongyun and they do dumb shit together :D 
this is probably my simpliest au of them all lol High School AU 2:  (no offense to Kaebedo shippers but I don’t see it working but if thats your otp or you cant handle people not shipping them...dont read. or do i like getting hate, makes me famous for my takes :D)
Kaeya’s been crushing no Albedo. Hard. But Albedo is totally not into it, but Kaeya finally makes some progress when he gets him to finally agree to go to the dance, even if it’s just as friends. But then Aether comes and unknowingly ruins everything. 
However, I don’t like writting Kaeya as the jealous type, so he lets go quite easily as he sees that Albedo’s really happy and all he wants is for him to be happy :) (aofbeog this could be me just really not wanting to write Kaeya anymore angst because Kaeya angst is so....angsty and sad (i have such a big vocabulary) and hes already super dark in lore so yea)
Siblings AU (Hu Tao and Xiao): Okay so I mostly explained this one in my dump in your post but Ill explain again <3
Zhong Li got bored or lonely or smth and adopts children (Xiao, Hu Tao, Qiqi kinda is his kid at this point because shes almost always at their house but Baizhu is legally her parent)  So one day Xiao’s babysitting (i actually hc him as kinda irresponible with children like hell walk out of a store without them and be gone for a while before realizing hes missing a whole human, or hell be all “ill duct tape you to the wall” and actually do it until Zhong Li comes home LMAO) and Hu Tao just so happens to be a home instead of work or smth 
And Xiao’s kinda like “alright so you live here, and Zhong Li’s your dad, but like....we arent required to be siblings, right?” 
So Qiqi runs off and Xiaos freaking out because this is the 4th time this week and its only wednesday so hes looking and Hu Taos looking and they just so happen to come across this alleyway Hu Tao would sit in and cry as a child because the others were mean and their parents wouldnt let her play with their kids and she was really lonely and so they go down into it and sure enough Qiqi’s there 
And Qiqi’s all “Qiqi’s sad because all of Qiqi’s friends have mommies and daddies but Qiqi doesn’t and so Qiqi came here to cry alone because it’s dark and cold and nobody’s here to see Qiqi....” and Hu Tao’s all “Yeah, actually. This alley’s never done me wrong when I needed somewhere to sit and...just...ah, think about things alone. But y’know Qiqi, you could talk to Xiao or I. And you do too (i think thats the right too im not too sure) have a family! Zhong Li is your dad, we’re your siblings, and Ganyu could be like the cool Auntie! So don’t cry alright? Could you do that for me please?”
And so Xiao catches onto what Hu Tao implied and so he’s like “well shit. nobody should be alone and sad, much less when theyre just a baby” so Xiao tries kinda hard to be a better big brother (but Hu Tao always thought he was a wesome)
And finally my last high school AU:  (really, really underevloped but this is just kinda a chill crackshit 
Childe and Lumine are dating, Aether highly disapproves. Albedo and Aether are dating, and Lumine’s like “albedo? the weird kid? that never talks? and when he does its always in smart people words? that albedo? wow aether im suprised you understand his smart people talking.”  Xingqiu and Chongyun are dating, Xingqiu was really sheltered as a kid so hes always doing something stupid and dangerous and Chongyun goes along with him to make sure hes not killed
yep yep!! most of these are just headcanons lol sorry it took a while :<

Kaeya (trying not to laugh): N-nice looking hairstyle you got there, Bennett.
Bennett (eyes sparkling): Really?? Thanks Uncle Kaeya! Actually, I wanted to look more like dad- so I asked him to tie my hair in a ponytail. I thought it might be too short but... I want to look like a Ragnvindyr too!
Kaeya: Well now I just feel like a horrible person.

Bennett (in tears): ..Dad..? *sniff*
Diluc (running over, checking for injuries): Bennett, what's wrong??
Kaeya: It seems that he got into a fight with Klee- over who has the better parent.
Bennett: B-but it's true! You're the bestest dad anyone could ever have!!
Diluc (chuckling, ruffles Bennett's hair): Thanks son. I'm sure both of you are right. Though it's not a competition to begin with. I don't want you going around getting into fights, okay?
Diluc (turning to Kaeya and whispering): Out of curiosity, Bennett won, right?

Bennett: Hey dad?
Diluc: Yes son?
Bennett (rubbing his chin as he moves a pawn): I heard you were the best Chess player in Mondstadt
Diluc: Yes, that's right
Bennett (excited): So, since I keep winning against you, does that make me the best now?
Diluc (smiling at him as he pockets a few more pieces from his side. All his rooks and bishops are gone): Of course it does
