Hello! I saw that your requests are open so I thought, I'll shoot my shot

So, it'll be SAGAU with Impostor and Isekai trope. The reader is a real Creator, while the fake one is on the throne. But! What if they look completely different? Characters don't hunt reader because well, they don't look like their beloved grace and they're unaware that their sweet creator is in fact a real impostor.

But when you look at reader and the fake creator, you can see a total difference in their surroundings. The real Creator - Reader, is connected to the Teyvat, right? The flowers bloom everywhere where they stand, the trees are more green and lively, while there's nothing like this with the impostor in the throne.

So! To the idea- How about Zhongli and Kaeya's (or any other characters you'd like to add here) to see their Reader cut themselves and suddenly bleed gold - while they saw their beloved Grace bleed red and suddenly, they connect the dots?

Ooh, this is certainly interesting, @ilumin! I'll see what I can come up with :)

Zhongli & Kaeya Find Out The Imposta :)

You weren't gonna lie—you kinda freaked when you realize the isekai and sagau trope thing happened on you. Reading fanfiction from the internet, you knew how things were gonna go down. You read the signs.

Safe to say you were not expecting you yourself to be the "lucky winner" of this entire thing. Nu-uh. Not one bit. You knew this was gonna be a hellhole.

That is, of course....you realized that the Imposter did not look like you at all. You were kinda stoked about it—that means you weren't gonna get ratted out, or killed, or hunted—so yay you! Time to chill with some bros! Time to free ball it while you still can!

And thennn... one night you were hanging with some ppl, and you accidentally nicked your finger.

You guessed it right, fellas, you bled gold. And that did not go unnoticed.

Good luck.

(Warning: Might be OOC!)

Zhongli

When he first met you, Zhongli thought you were like The Traveler—you were someone who passed the Celestial Atmosphere above, and descended down to traverse the world.

With Their Grace present, their world has prospered and Zhongi is proud to say that Liyue was doing well under their rule. But when you came, he was a little surprised to see how the earth seemed to connect with you. Flowers around you seemed brighter, precious rocks seem to surface at your presence..and you somehow manage to always be able to get the most freshest fruit anyone can come across.

You were truly an interesting enigma that Zhongli is curious to learn more of. He commits every detail about you to memory. The day the wind conveniently came to the rescue when the days were boiling hot. The time where you managed to restock your food stalls even though so many Liyueans were nabbing them and almost leaving you nothing. Everything Zhongli saw, he noted down in his mind.

You eventually became acquainted with him the moment he walks up to your food stall. It wasn't that packed in the morning (somehow), and it allowed the two of you to get to know one another better. Safe to say your relationship was solid.

And then you bled gold that one night. Zhongli eyes your blood with wide expressions, before immediately excusing the both of you out of the situation.

He cannot believe that the person that sits on the Creator's Throne was not the Creator. He's constantly being bombarded with the "Creator" and their meetings, while you were just selling goods on the streets of Liyue.

"...Your Grace..." Zhongli looks at you as he puts a bandage over your finger. "...Truly, we have all been deceived." And while you're glad that he wasn't suggesting you start up a riot, you were kind of worried about what he'll do to the Imposter the next time Zhongli sees him.

Safe to say he did have a "Chat" with them that consisted of a meteor and a lot of "I will have Order!" voicelines repeating over and over again.

Kaeya

When you got plopped into Mondstadt, somehow, the winds started becoming more gentle and a lot more carefree. Everyone saw this as a sign of Barbatos, you saw this as a sign of the world trying to rat you out or something.

You decided to get a job at the Tavern to get info, and boom you meet Kaeya. You should've expected this when you got a job at Angel's Share, because this hottie bro is very much interested on your merchandise.

Safe to say, though, Kaeya was very interested in you. Like Zhongli, he takes note of your every move. But, unlike Zhongli, Kaeya's trying to see how your...unique superpowers work, and how they can be used to help protect Mondstadt—assuming he manages to convince you to join.

Kaeya is very talkative in the Tavern, so he usually talks to the bartenders. Diluc is pulling his hair out to see how much info Kaeya's spilling to you during your shifts, half of which are just boasting about the Knights of Favonius.

When you nicked your finger, though, you knew things were going down. It didn't help that Kaeya noticed. His eyes widen for a fraction, before he stands up and suggests that you both should take a walk around the streets of Mondstadt when your shift was done.

You agree, seeing as there's no way out of this, and quickly grab a bandaid to patch up the scratch. Once you were both out, Kaeya speaks first, in a low tone.

"My...I never knew the Almighty Creator could be this sneaky, to have an imposter sit on the throne while they serve cups at my favorite tavern." You look at him incredulously. He took the situation to praise you to make himself sound like he was blessed?

Good sir, this was the opposite of how your life got thrown upside down when you entered Teyvat. Then again, this sounded a lot better than getting killed, so you'll take it as a win. For now.

Kaeya promises to keep this a secret, but safe to say Diluc is rubbing his temples when he hears the Calvary Captain himself trying to offer you a position in the Knights of Favonius, saying you had potential and whatnot.

Honestly, he just wants to spend more time with you outside of the tavern.

Ghost Rebel Side Notes: Why the heck did this take SO MUCH LONGER than I expected sobbing. Sorry y'all—istg life is hitting me like Truck-Kun.

Also one more thing: Furina is my new child now. She and Fremmi are my Fontantian Children. Love 'em both too much ppl will have to pry them out of my cold-dead hands.

synopsis. amber has written you a secret letter to express her love without signing her name, so it's your job to address your admirer.

genre. fluff + modern au

amber x gn!reader

placing a crimson wax seal with a cute bunny rabbit on the envelope, amber blew a strand of her chocolate hair from her face, sighing softly.

this would be the fifth letter she wrote to her crush now, or well, her best friend; in other words, you. and she just couldn't seem to muster up to courage to profess her love up front.

how could she anyway? it was likely you would say no, as it was strange for best friends to suddenly become lovers. yet she couldn't help herself at the same time.

she yearned to be with you.

pursing her rosy lips together, she turned the envelope over and scribbled your name in the finest calligraphy she could make, decorating it with stars.

"there we go," she smiled softly, placing her pens back into her pencil case before checking her clock, only to panic.

she was already three minutes late!

jumping up from her seat, the brunette slipped her scarlet colored backpack on, grabbing her letter in the process before rushing out of the academy's library.

of course, just her luck. she was on school grounds and still late for class. fantastic.

amber ran as fast as her legs could carry her, despite her lack in height, speeding through a few students who lurked the halls. of all the times, there just had to be traffic now.. typical, the world just had to be against her today.

with great agility, she swerved between the remaining bodies, feet coming to a stop when she arrived at her classroom. surprisingly, it had been empty.

the golden eyed student blew a sigh of relief as she walked in, plopping down on her assigned seat. for once, she felt her exhaustion kicking in, which contrasted to her usual energetic self.

she assumed it had to do with exams coming around.

her lips parted for a yawn as she got comfy at her desk. using her arms as a makeshift pillow.

all while she carelessly allowed the letter to sit halfway beneath her sleeved arms. part of her felt something like was terribly off, though she was too tired to care.

well, at least until you walked through the doors.

a warm smile painted your lips when you found your friend resting soundly, far too sleepy to even lift her head your way. she was simply adorable, as innocent as the animal carved on the emblem of her letter.

on the contrary, it had appeared familiar to you. letters had been coming in left and right from your secret admirer, with positivity notes littering your locker and small lamp grass.

they were a strange choice of flowers, but beautiful regardless, and different from the norm.

curiously, you took your seat beside her as quietly as you could, eyeing the cover containing the letter before blinking.

there was your name, doodled in the prettiest calligraphy, but why did amber have this?

"amber," you called her name softly, shaking her shoulder a bit to grab her attention, "we have to start soon.. um, what's that paper you got with my name on it?"

and just like that, the panic ensued again.

she shot up almost instantaneously, snatching the letter so fast, you hardly even noticed.

for someone who previously knocked out, she sure had reflexes.

"i-i'm up..! it's nothing, nothing!" she blurted out quickly, cheeks tinting in pink as she stuffed the paper in her bag, heart beating so quickly, it nearly jumped out of her chest.

you looked at her suspiciously, noting the expression she carried, and the frantic voice she used. could it be? it was a wild guess to be sure, but everything seemed to click now.

crimson wax seals with bunnies engraved on them, small lamp grass, positivity notes.

by now amber had covered her face with her small hands, fearing you had completely read her. even after taking all those precautions to avoid you finding out so soon.

gently, you peeled her hands off her face to make eye contact with her, smiling softly. "let me guess, you wrote the letters addressed to me?" you asked her carefully, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

the poor girl looked as though she were a deer caught in headlights, however she recovered after a pause, nodding in defeat.

"i can't lie to you, y/n-chan.. i'm sorry! i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything- but i.." she stopped, lowering her head, as she couldn't meet her gaze. "i-i really like you.. and i just didn't know how to tell you without ruining what we had.." she mumbled the last part softly, fiddling with the ends of her skirt.

"amber," you called again, as tenderly as you could, lifting her head up by her chin to meet eyes with your own.

the expression she wore pained you, and you wanted to erase that away. she had to know how you felt too.

you smiled, taking her cheek lovingly in your hand. "you won't ruin a thing if the person likes you back, hm?" you asked her, watching as her cheeks stained with red again, and you'd be lying if you said you didn't like that look on her.

inching closer, you pressed a kiss on the tip of her nose, lowering yourself after a short break to peck her lips.

the chocolate haired girl was shocked to say the least, as she pinched herself numerous times on her thigh. but she wasn't dreaming at all, it was real.

this was certainly not how she planned things to go, especially when she finally mustered the courage to sign her name: with love, amber.

though perhaps, things had worked out in a better, and more sensual way.

as she pulled away, she smiled back a bit, eyes filled with wonder. her poor heart was pounding against her chest, but that didn't matter.

what mattered was that her feelings were returned.

she let a softly laugh out finally, rubbing her neck in a sheepish manner. "i suppose not."

SAGAU Idea: When the player fell into Teyvat they recounted how they felt like they were falling behind everyone else in their old world. When talking about it they have this profound sadness.

They remember hearing about it from behind the screen... What will they do now?

(Lord I just want fluff. I relate too much to Bennett)

hi, Thanks for the idea I hope it meets your standards.

No more falling Behind SAGAU X GN!Raeder

(A/N: First fanfic I hope it was on track. I kept taking breaks so it took really long. I know you said fluff but I got carried away)

Summary: The ask

CW: A little Angst, Fluff, SAGAU, GN! Reader, POC! Friendly, Cussing like twice, isekai, please tell me if I forgot anything

“3rd pov”

You weren't a social butterfly you loved staying by your self not like it was your choice it came naturally. You had “friends” they weren't friends they were aquatints. While everyone was playing or talking in our free time at school you would sit on the sidelines. It wasn't your fault you tried but it would never end well you felt that you were falling behind. on field trips, Picture day, Class projects, or even outside school, you still felt that way. You would linger in the back. From time to time people check up on you, The counselor, The teachers, The principal, your parents, hell even the janitor. The same question “hey are you ok ?” the same answer “ I'm Fine “ it was inevitable you always felt like you were falling behind……..

Not always when you were playing my Favorite game Genshin Impact it wasn't the best but it was yours. You never really felt that way unless you started talking or thinking about it. When you were playing you were at your happiest. You had it on your computer, laptop, phone, and tablet. You loved the characters and you related to some. You always made sure they had the best weapons and Artifacts. You loved them and they felt like friends. They were your friends. And Being so you would tell them about your day.

“Readers pov”

I had just got home 45 minutes ago and taken a shower after mom had picked me up she told me I was gonna be home alone again. I didn't mind though. After getting done with everything in the bathroom. I headed to my room and threw my clothes into the dirty basket. Winter break had started today so no homework. I had started my favorite game and waited for it to load once it did I started to talk to them. I know they couldn't hear me but they're my friends so it just feels right.

“ Good evening guys how are you…… Well, my day was normal as always I got my essay on fictional writing done today, and Mrs.Andrews said it was good as always……” I had trailed off

“Remember the group project I told you guys about? I had read my part of it  and I had been asked to talk louder 6 times, That was super embarrassing.” I started to whisper at the end

“But again I was falling behind my group when we had to present.” I started to get quiet and started to feel that feeling I'm all too familiar with.

“ I was falling behind again. Why do I always have to do that I tried really. I did but it never works I hate it. I hate it so much.” I had to stop moving my current character because that familiar feeling I was having is sadness.

“ I always felt out of place sometimes I wish to live in your world.” I let out a sigh afterward I had started to zoon out before ____ ideal started I had snapped out of my trance and went back to what I was doing before.

“3rd pov”

Y/N had no idea Their friends were actually listening to them. They always did and they had always felt bad for them. They all loved them and loved to hear them talk just about anything. But hearing the bad things had brought an idea to them. The plan was that Klee would ask Alice to bring you into their world. But Alice did say there would be consequences. Every memory of you would be forgotten in your world. Hearing the way you talked about your world they agreed.

“New mail!” Had shown up on your screen. You took a quick glance at it and clicked it. In it read something about a new quest that has been unlocked. “Click to continue” you had mindlessly clicked it and your vision went blurry.

“Readers Pov”

“Y/N…… Y/N hey it's time to get up” I heard

‘ know that voice somewhere……. BENNET!’ I had thought I snapped my eyes open and blaring lights and heavy winds are what I woke up to how the hell am I hear

“ whew, Piamon thought you were never gonna wake up!”

‘ this has to be a dream ’ I had thought

“ how am I here,” I said

*After a lot of explaining*

I nodded my head knowing I wasn't upset honestly. And noticed we were at windrise I looked into the water at my reflection I was in a beautiful outfit with my hair and skin looking gorgeous .

“Come on let's show you around.” I heard bennet say. I nodded and turned around Piamon and the twins started heading toward mondstat but bennet stayed back with me.

“Come on” he held out his hand. I looked at his hand than him.

‘What if I fall behind again’ i had thought. I guess had a look on my face

“Hey. It's ok no more falling behind.” Bennet said I looked at his hand and felt reassurance

‘ New world new me’ i had thought

“No more falling behind !.” I took his hand in mine and we ran hand in hand to catch up………. Tripping on air on the way

No more falling behind

I don't know if your request is open can you write Creator reader who favorites Zhongli, Venti, Nahida?

They need love ok 🙄

Yep yep, got it! Lemme see what I can pull off :)

Favoritism! With The Archons (Discluding Ei and Furina—)!

(Warning: Might Be OOC!)

Nahida

She honestly loves the attention you give her! She's really happy to get to spend time with you, and really get to know you and who you really are despite your title as the Almighty Creator.

Loves it if you play with her—and especially loves to learn the kind of games that you played before you re-descended down to Teyvat. There's UNO...and that's pretty much all that I can remember but you get the idea—

Loves visiting you in your dreams to see what you dream of. The Almighty Creator would surely have dreams of all forms filled with creative and inspiring ideas!

Nahida would 100% try to ask you to hang out with her through the streets of Sumeru. She has no shame :D And, if anything, her people would see this as a blessing.

"Come on, Your Grace! I want to show you somewhere I found!" Nahida would also take you to the Aranaras, where you would eat fresh fruit, make flower crowns, and even play some hide-and-seek.

She loves making and meeting new friends, the Almighty Creator is no exception! Spend some time with her as much as you can, Nahida will cherish it!

Venti

Hohoho, you're down to hang out with this carefree bard? Well, the first hangout will definitely be inside the most extravagant tavern of all time!

Yes, he means Angel's Share. Or the Cat's Tail. Man has his standards and he ain't afraid to take you there. Prepare for the best wine you'll ever taste, because Venti sure as hell is proud of the wine of Mondstadt.

Loves to share ballads and songs with you. Some of them are even based off on you! Loves when you give him your feedback as well.

Give him apples. He'll be happy—that's not saying a lot. Any apple dish, he will eat. Even if the apple is very little.

"Yahoo, Your Grace!~ Wanna hear a ballad this amazing bard has made for you?" Would absolutely perform these ballads during Windblume Festival, so please praise him :D

Zhongli

OSMANTHUS WINE TASTES THE SAME AS I— *Aggressive Truck Noises Driving Pass*

Take him out for food, buy him any gifts, ANYTHING. This man loves anything you'll give as well (trust me)

Just take some time to spend with him. Strolling through the area, the market, it doesn't matter—he cherishes all moments with you, as you are a friend (and more cough cough)

Osmanthus wine. Yes.

"Ah, Your Grace. I am blessed to know that you have the time to spend it with me. Please, allow me to pour you a fine cup of tea." If you're a tea lover, you both are gonna have a really good time.

Zhongli loves to share stories, so if you like to know more about Liyue's history, you came to the right guy :)

He's also a good listener, so you can also share stories and he will be rapt with attention. He loves every single story you tell.

Ghost Rebel Side Notes: My procrastination is impeccable. I'm on a living streak, clearly. Welp, I hope this satisfies you—hopefully, the next request doesn't take too long (watch me eat those words).

SO i may have made a zhongluc cowboy au because i am. very self indulgent. explanation of au will be under the cut!

(click for quality, image id also under the cut)

OK SO IN THIS AU diluc was raised with his adopted brother kaeya until his father dies in a fire when diluc is sixteen. diluc tries to save his father (hence the burn scars) but is pulled out of the fire by someone before he can do anything. during this fire, kaeya also disappears, and diluc is forced to live with a relative until he’s old enough to live on his own. he ends up buying a place in mondstadt (picture the standard wild west town) and builds his tavern angel’s share. he’s there up until zhongli shows up in town.

zhongli in this au is on of the seven gods that rule over the lands. he’s the god of the earth (go figure), and one of the oldest gods there are. because of this, he’s gotten tired of having to tend to his godly duties, and decides that he’s ready to retire. in this au, the archon system is still present (someone can take up his position as the god of the earth after he’s gone), so this isn’t the end of the world, but he doesn’t want to tell anyone what he plans because he fears that someone (cough cough barbatos) may try to stop him. so, he pulls out his gnosis (the source of his god status), gives it to the demigod he created, xiao, and asks him to hide it until they find someone suitable to replace him. xiao does as ordered, but zhongli miscalculates. he doesn’t realize that taking out his gnosis would force him out of the heavens, and he ends up quite literally tumbling onto earth.

once xiao realizes what has happened, he follows after his master, but ends up getting tailed by a fatui harbinger, tartaglia (im gonna refer to him as childe throughout this explanation). tartaglia is a demigod and a servant to the goddess of ice, and has been ordered to keep an eye on zhongli. so, he follows xiao out of the heavens, where they find zhongli, though something’s missing. zhongli has completely lost his memories of godhood.

SO ANYWAYS, they travel to mondstadt because it’s the closest town, and xiao knows that barbatos inhabits there from time to time and wants his help with zhongli. while in mondstadt, zhongli meets a bartender named diluc, and the two hit it off immediately. there’s a lot more that goes into this au, though i dont think i can explain anymore of it in this post, but i’ll probably add it to the second cowboy au post im going to be publishing soon.

[Image ID: Five digitally drawn pictures for the op's cowboy genshin au. The first two drawings are character designs for Zhongli and Diluc and the last three are the designs for Diluc, Zhongli, and Kaeya's horses.

The first image is of Zhongli's character design. On the left is the front view of his outfit. He's wearing an off-white button up shirt, a black leather jacket with gold accents, black jeans with gold accents, and a brown belt with a silver belt buckle. Zhongli's hair is the same as in canon, and he's looking at the viewer with a passive expression. On the right is the back view of Zhongli's outfit. It's still the same jacket and jeans, only the back of the jacket has black fringe on the back, as well as golden diamond shapes across the top of the jacket. The background is white, except for a yellow circle in the middle as well as the writing "Zhongli Cowboy AU" with the word Zhongli underlined.

The second image is of Diluc's character design. There is only one drawing of Diluc of him from the thigh-up. He's wearing his hair down, and has a black cowboy hat on his head. He wears an off-white button up, dark blue jeans, and a brown leather belt with a silver belt buckle. His arms are covered in burn scars, and on of his hands is hovering near his hip while the other is at his side. He's looking at the viewer with a blank expression. The background is white except for the red circle around his head and the writing "Diluc Cowboy AU" with the work Diluc underlined.

The third image is the design for Diluc's horse, Carmine. It's a side veiw of the horse. She is a dark red/brown color, and her extremities are a darker red. Her mane and tail are black and she has big white marks on her chest and head. Her two back legs also have white splotches on them. She also has scars in the shape of claw marks on her thigh and shoulders. There is text all around Carmine. On the top is "Carmine | Diluc" and then the paragraph "-irish thoroughbred, female - been with diluc since diluc was eleven and was a gift from diluc's father - sister to kaeya's horse, dawn - scars from when diluc was attacked by coyotes". The bottom text says "Marks" with examples of the marks she has on her body as well as the text "- white marks she's had since birth - scars from coyote attack". There are color swatches underneath Carmine as well.

The fourth image is the design for Zhongli's horse, Pyrois. The horse is a brown color with darker and more orange shades across its pelt. There are white marks on both it's forehead and chest. Its mane and tale are a shiny black. It has horns sprouting from over its eyes and it has glowing orange eyes. The text on the top of the drawing says "Pyrois | Zhongli - akhal-teke & ????, male - normal horse aside from the horns, very fast - dark buckskin coat with black mane." The bottom text says "Brushes - charcoal block - spires" and has some color swatches underneath it.

The fifth and final image is of Kaeya's horse Dawn. She has a light reddish brown coat, as well as a brown mane. Her nose and legs are slightly darker brown than her pelt, and she has white diamond shaped marks on her head and chest. Her two front legs also have white splotches over them. The top text says "Marks - white marks she's had since birth, on forehead and chest" with an example of the full mark in the middle of the text and title. The bottom text says "Dawn | Kaeya - irish thoroughbred, female - sister to diluc's horse, carmine - has been Kaeya's horse since he was ten - Kaeya uses her for competitive racing sometimes."
