Vampire!reader x sagau!Tsaritsa(main) Venti, Zhongli (side)

part one

Notes: this makes no sense but it's just some archon/harbinger fluff bc i want it >:D

warnings: mild cult behaviors, fluff, somewhat romantic reader x tsaritsa, flirting

The cold snow of Snezhnaya couldn't dare to compare the sheer iciness of their Queen's eyes. The moment you laid your eyes on her, your entire being prickled with icicles. If you weren't careful you'd join the other lost objects in the snow.

The harbingers - who had led you to the throne room - left your side to join their Queen.

You had your own entourage, though you wouldn't exactly call it that. More like a few capable friends that could travel. It was only a few, not even half of the harbingers, but you were told it'd be unnecessary.

Your hands were sweaty through your gloves, your face heated from embarrassment as you merely stared at the Tsaritsa's admittedly beautiful eyes. You couldn't help glancing at Zhongli and Venti (both of which had insisted to come along despite their hidden archon status), did The Tsaritsa know who they were?

Sense kicked in after a moment of weakness and you lowered yourself to a bow, your lips parting to spout something formal, something you'd heard from a movie or a book before. You had no clue the correct customs but you could pretend and hope you wouldn't be faulted for such a short coming.

To your surprise, the exact opposite happened.

"Rise, your eminence," The Tsaritsa lifted her hand, an... oddly warm smile adorned her lips, "There is no need for formalities here."

You saw a flicker of fangs past her lips and you quietly gasped. You straightened your spine and took a bold step forward, grinning, "Thank you, your majesty, I'm honored. Though if there are no formalities here then I implore you to call me (Name)."

She hummed, a flicker of surprise shot past her eyes, gone as soon as it had appeared, "That's far too informal for someone as lowly as me to call you." Sarcasm dribbled from her words and you practically feel Zhongli bristling in anger, though you weren't bothered.

You put a hand to your chin in mock thought, still grinning ear-to-ear, "Then perhaps you should call me an informal title! Like dear! Or love-"

You were interrupted Childe erupting into laughter, along with a few of the other harbingers and a few of your "retainers". (It was Kazuha and Venti) Honestly though, you were surprised you weren't interrupted by Venti punching you or slapping your mouth shut. Though you supposed he was acting much more tame now that you were in The Tsaritsa's palace. He was just a "lowly bard" in the public's eyes, not to mention he and The Tsaritsa probably didn't have the best relationship considering she ghosted him.

"I never thought you to be so bold...dear," There was a playful glint in her eyes and in her fangs as the corners of her lips tugged upwards, "Then I suppose you'll have to call me a befitting name as well, won't you?" She tilted her head, almost mockingly.

You couldn't help the giggle that escaped your throat, just as you opened your mouth to retort with something stupid, you heard a groan.

"Stars above, get a room!" You recognized the monochrome haired woman with red x's for eyes.

Your laugh could only be described as an evil cackle, akin to a certain little red burny girl in Mondstadt after doing some absolutely heinous acts.

Zhongli was absolutely fuming, you swore you could almost see smoke coming out of his ears. You giggled and lightly smacked him arm, "Cheer up old man." He almost robotically switched up his expression at your words, "You want a nickname too?" You giggled, jokingly.

Zhongli lightheartedly glared at you, "With all due respect your grace, I'm okay." He pushed your hand off of him gently, though there was an amused glint in his eyes.

You giggled, "If you say so..."

You trailed off as you and Venti's eyes met. He clasped his arms around your neck to the point you were practically carrying him, "I'd like a nickname, your grace!"

You snickered at his antics, even more so when you saw how The Tsaritsa glowered down at the bard.

"What a cute little dog you have." The Tsaritsa gave a thin smile, "Perhaps you should teach it not to yap so much."

Venti merely kept grinning cheerfully at The Tsaritsa, though his grip on you ever so slightly tightened.

"Oh, sorry did I say dog? I meant bard."

She didn't mean bard. Though you found it more amusing than offensive. Perhaps you were stupid off the excitement, but all of your nervousness was evaporated at this point.

"The harshest words it seems, comes from the heart that bleeds." Venti smiled innocently.

The temperature in the room noticeably dropped, "A loud bard indeed." The Tsaritsa's gaze pierced deep into Venti's, though he was seemingly unphased. However if you paid close enough attention, you could almost feel a light gust of wind.

You roughly rubbed his head, messing up his hair affectionately, "Calm down, Venti. Last time you tried to have a rap battle with someone she beat you up."

Venti blinked and looked up at you incredulously, silently asking if you really just said that.

You patted his head, gentler this time.

*~

Things had calmed down significantly, and you were in a room with only the archons now, having some tea. Of course, with Zhongli and Venti being undercover you merely said that you chose two of your "retainers" to accompany you with your talk with the Tsaritsa.

"Morax, Benadryl," She hissed Venti's (incorrect) archon name, "It's been a while."

"That it has Miss Tootsie Pop!" Venti flopped down on a couch, taking up the entire space.

You unceremoniously snorted at their banter, "Seems you know who they both are." You mused.

"Considering the fact that I took their gnoses, of course I know them." The Tsaritsa elegantly sat down on a comfy couch, opposite Venti, her long and complex dress falling neatly around her.

"Still upset how my gnosis was taken." Venti pouted, already hanging upside down on the couch so you could sit next to him, "Seriously, Zhongli got to choose, Baal didn't even have her gnosis!" He groaned, "Couldn't you have been any nicer about it!"

The Tsaritsa crossed her legs and arms, an amused smile playing at her lips, "You wouldn't have given it up willingly."

"I might've!" He flailed his limbs comically, "You wouldn't have known, you beat me up as soon as you saw me!"

"I feel Rosalyne was justified in that scenario," The Tsaritsa put a hand on her cheek, "Mondstadt brings bad memories for her you know."

Venti huffed, crossing his arms, "Then why send her in the first place-"

"We didn't come here to bicker, especially in front of their greatness." Zhongli sipped at the tea that had been set out, "The tea is lovely by the way. I remember drinking the tea in Snezhnaya a very long time ago. Much has changed, but the tea is still as good as ever."

"Oh!" You perked up, "Just remembered!" You stood up excitedly, standing in front of the Tsaritsa. You pointed to your mouth, "You have fangs don't you?"

She blinked, surprised, "Ah, I do." She shuffled back, her eyes meeting yours coolly but if you weren't mistaken you could see a bit of embarasment.

You grinned, displaying your canines that were now elongating, "I do too! I'm a vampire!"

"Ah," She faintly smiled, shock coating her beautiful orbs, "I've heard a few things about their graciousness, however I was not aware of this." Her own fangs were on display with her smile.

"Wait- your fangs are bigger than mine!" You giggled, "That's not fair," You lightheartedly commented.

"Apologies your- oh should I be saying dear? I suppose you still have some catching up to do." She teasingly flashed her fangs with a grin.

You glared at her, "How hard do you bite? Where'd you even get those big of teeth from?" You unconsciously put your hand on her face to gently push back her upper lip, "I bet I could bite someone harder than you, or at least better. That's what I was made for after all." You hummed, "Perhaps we could test out our bites on something or someone!"

"Someone?" The Tsaritsa chuckled as you pulled your hand away from her mouth, "And who would be willing... well..." She covered her mouth with her hand in thought, "I'm sure Columbina wouldn't mind."

"I think she'd sooner bite me than I bite her," You chuckled nervously, "Maybe Arlecchino? I wouldn't feel too bad about biting her with all my strength, and I wouldn't fear for my life. Well, not as much as I would with Columbina."

The Tsaritsa

Meanwhile Venti was staring at the two of you, concern and uncertainty painting his features. On one hand, he wanted to offer himself for you to bite, but he did not want the Tsaritsa near him.

Zhongli saw Venti's frown and sighed, "Venti, if I were to give you some wine would you cheer up?"

He did, in fact, cheer up. However he was stuck on your back for the entirety of the night, even while you bit Arlecchino.

The Tsaritsa, sadly, had won.

"I don't get it!" You huffed, staring at the four angry red bite marks on Arlecchino that took over your bite with ease, "Compared to that my bite looks like a little dent! And I'm the vampire! Seriously your jaw unhinged what the hell!"

The Tsaritsa shrugged, a proud grin on her face.

Oddly it seemed that you and Arlecchino were the only ones with sour spirits. The other harbingers (Columbina specifically) were grinning ear to ear (and passing mora amongst themselves, the little bastards). While your "entourage" had somehow coalesced with the harbingers as well. You could've sworn you saw Kazuha give up a sack of mora to the tall dude with glasses. While Venti was drunkenly singing a song by Kazuha's side.

Half delirious and drunk off the atmosphere, in the end you all ended up listening to some of Zhongli's stories while slowly falling asleep (half of you were also tipsy somehow. You all blamed Venti in the morning for all the hangovers).

"By the way, Arlecchino." The woman looked at you curiously, a bandage around the shoulder you and the Tsaritsa had bitten, "Your blood is really tasty." You grinned.

She sighed, a slight red coating her cheeks, "Thank you I guess, your grace."

You yawned, slumping your head against the Tsaritsa's side, "Just call me... (Name)... Knave..."

You passed out before you heard her reply, or the end of Zhongli's story.

#do i like writing for the tsaritsa bc she has no canon personality and therefor cannot feel bad for making her ooc? #....no comment #snezhnaya was supposed to be like... the secret fourth option or whatever but #i could not help myself bc i just love the tsaritsa and the harbingers #its a problem i know #sagau #tsaritsa #venti #zhongli #self aware genshin #genshin cult au #it's the way i'm a sucker for venti #say my name part two coming soon istg #no bc i love venti's personality so much he's so goofy and yet has so much on his shoulders #I LOVE HIM OKAY SHUT UP

[yestrday]

sklfhjk i'm loving the little hc/lore posts you're doing about the different aus, i'm a huge sucker for those. may i ask about your hybrid venti thoughts?

well! how could i refuse! i love venti sm as my first ever 5* and i love writing him as my perverted lil boy. i havent written much for him in the hybrid au so!

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't dirty the young master with that perverted fondling of yours, old friend."

You laugh awkwardly as Zhongli's admonition only spurs Venti to snuggle even closer to you, sitting on your lap with his bare legs brushing against yours. He sends a sly smile towards the old dragon and revels in the way his gold-brown hands tighten on his teacup's handle.

"Hmm... you might not know since you came later than me, but me and our young master here have a ve~ry intimate relationship," the dove hybrid says, wrapping his arm around your shoulder with smug look. "Why, you should've seen them when they were smaller, always begging and crying for me to hug them. It's only natural that we've become close— both physically and emotionally!— throughout the years."

Venti nuzzles his cheek against yours. "Aren't I right, ma~ster? ♡"

"Venti's right, Zhongli," you try to alleviate his concerns, though the disgusted look on his face grows more and more palpable. "This is natural for us. Although, uh." Your face reddens when you feel Venti's hand slip and take a feel on your tummy. "I... I have to admit that he's handsier tonight than usual."

Venti giggles. "Whatever are you talking about? You're way handsier with me when you're in bed~"

Your face almost explodes as the horrified expression on Zhongli's face grows. "Th– That! It's not what you think, Zhongli, I promise! Venti's just teasing me about how clingy I get when I asleep. Aether knows about it too. There's nothing else to it!" By the way Venti is laughing but not denying your words, your secretary can tell that you're telling the truth. Nevertheless, he schools you with a stern look.

"You ought to be more wary around us hybrids, [Your Name]. Especially around... this one." Venti pokes his tongue out at him and Zhongli only scoffs into his teacup. "You don't know how out of hand he was back in his days, and he's every bit as wily before as he is now. So keep your guard up and don't be seduced by him."

The subject of his admonitions gasps dramatically, turning to you with a can-you-believe-this-guy look on his face. "That's not true! You don't believe him, right, master? After all, I am the epitome of all things pure and innocent!" He places your hand on his bare thigh and looks up at you with those darling green eyes and ever so gently caresses your cheek.

"If there's anything perverted here, I think it's how you eat me up with those eyes of yours, ma~ster ♡."

Venti's delighted giggling erupts when you finally explode and hide your face in Venti's shoulder in shame. "Venti..!"

"Ahahaha! You're so easy to tease!"

Zhongli shakes his head, taking another sip to ease his nerves. He doesn't know whether or not he should report your corruption to your father and risk his wrath.

venti |

you're sitting on one of the high barstools, watching venti out of the corner of your eye. he's singing, gesturing wildly with the hand that's holding a wineglass filled with something that looks like champagne, and his hair's not in its typical two braids; you'd watched a group of girls do it up in a singular loose dutch braid. you wonder, briefly, how it would look loose, cascading around his face and catching on his cheekbones. you wonder how it would look if you ran your hands through it, how it would look sticking up? you wonder how he would look untucked, maybe if you kissed him....

when you snap out of your reverie, he's staring right at you, a knowing smirk ticking up the corner of his lips. as if he knows exactly what you're thinking. a hot flush spreads up from your chest, and you're positive you've turned red. the flashing lights play across his face as he tilts his head, and suddenly the room is far too hot, far too confining, and you're regretting coming out at all. you turn away and flash a smile at the bartender, setting a few bills down on the counter before gathering your purse and shouldering your way through the crowd.

outside, it's started to drizzle, and the air is cool and crisp on your fiery cheeks. you close your eyes and turn your face towards the stars, listening to the sounds of the bar behind you, the wind whistling through your hair. you shiver; it had been warmer when you had left and so you had neglected to bring a jacket, and now goosebumps pop up all over your arms. you sigh, thumbing your phone in your purse, ready to call a taxi to take you home, when someone grabs your arm from behind.

you spin around, muffling a shriek--and realize it's venti. he's smiling at you in that self-satisfied way, the same smirk he was giving you in the bar, the same smirk that has your heart pounding faster than it should be and your cheeks flushing. "venti!" you stutter out, squinting at him. "what are you doing out here? you should be in there." you gesture in the vague direction of the club.

venti's gaze flicks up and down your body, and suddenly, despite the goosebumps, you're far too hot. "well," he says, shifting from foot to foot, and is it your imagination, or does he look nervous? "well, you looked intoxicated. and i thought i should check on you, and help you get home, since you're my friend."

at that word, friend, you deflate. of course. you're just imagining things. you're just friends. you clear your throat. "i appreciate it, but i'm fine, really. i'm just tired, seriously. i think i'll call a cab and go home."

venti quirks an eyebrow, toying with a loose strand of hair that hangs in front of his face. you're seized with the sudden urge to tuck it behind his ear and you entertain the idea. just friends. "do you want me to walk with you?" he asks. "it's such a lovely night, you can see all the stars!"

you can't help yourself; you glance up. raindrops pitter down your face, trickling down the neckline of your top. you shiver. clouds coat the sky, a quilt of puffy gray against a deep navy background. "you can't see any stars, venti," you say, exasperated, still looking up. "and i'm cold. i think i'll just.. call a taxi. thank--" you look at him and cut yourself off, because he's staring at you.

the look in his eyes sends a sucker punch to your gut, knocking the wind out of your lungs and seizing you with the urge to curl into yourself. then he blinks and the moment's gone, and he's holding out his coat. "here," he says gently. "i'll walk with you."

you take it from him, and your fingers graze his, and it feels like you've been dipped into a pot of molten lava.

walking home is almost torture; walking just so apart, close enough that your fingers brush when you step but not enough for you to grab his hand if you wanted. the rain soaks your hair, plastering it to your forehead and droplets collect on his eyelashes like diamonds. when you reach your door, he smiles. "have a good night, yn," he tells you, turning to make his way off of your stoop.

"wait," you call, taking off his jacket. the rain plunges around you in ice-cold sheets, and you miss it already; the smell of champagne and flowers clinging to the warm fabric. he glances over his shoulder. "keep it," he says. "i'll get it next time."

and he winks.

kazuha |

when kazuha calls you, for some reason, you pick up. and, for some reason, when he invites you to the bar downtown (it'll be fun, i promise) you say yes. when he hangs up, you cradle your head in your hands and debate calling him back and cancelling, but then again, it's been a hard week, and maybe a night out is just what you need?

lurking in the corner of the bar, you realize that a night out is not what you need. the bar is hot and stuffy, and everyone reeks of cheap alcohol and cigarettes. you wish desperately for your bed, and you lost track of kazuha an hour ago. you cup your hand around your phone screen, squinting to see the time, and realize that it's almost dead. "shit," you mutter. "shit, shit. shit." you lean your head back against the wall and close your eyes, considering walking home or maybe taking public transport? but at this hour, the buses are notoriously known to be packed full of drunks and junkies, and you have no desire to deal with that, not now.

"hey, yn," slurs a voice near your ear. "yn, yn, yn! yn! can you hear me? yn!"

you jerk your eyes open and squint. "kazuha? are you... are you drunk?"

kazuha laughs; a noise so uncaring and free, so unlike his usual self that you have no choice but to smile. his usually pale cheeks are flushed, whether it be from the drink or the heat, you don't know. his hair hangs around his face, and the top button of his shirt has come undone. you wrench your eyes away from it and search his face instead. "drunk? me?" he asks, so innocent and dubious that you could've believed him if it weren't for the fact that he's leaning heavily against the wall. "i'm not drunk. i haven't drunk anything tonight. i'm just saying hi to my favorite pretty friend. can i not say hi to my favort.. favort... favorite pretty friend?"

you flush, tearing your eyes away from his face. "do you know how you'll get home, kazuha?"

he ignores this question and instead takes your face in his hands. "your eyes," he says, eyebrows furrowing, "are like pools. i could, i could dive in them. and swim. mmm, i love swimming." he lets go of your cheekbones, the skin where his hands were on you burning, almost as if on fire. "hmmm."

"okay, that's enough," you say, taking his elbow and steering him towards the exit. "i'll take you home. do you have a car?"

"yes! yes, i have a car. i drove here. are you going to drive me, favorite pretty friend?" he asks, wrapping an arm around your waist.

and so you wind up in kazuha's shitty red bug, his forehead resting against the dashboard. "kazuha?" you ask worriedly. "are you going to puke?"

he laughs dryly. "maybe. it wouldn't make a difference, not in this shitty car anyway. it's already been ... trashed." he leans back in his seat, finally, and gazes up at the stars. "the sky looks beautiful," he whispers, almost to himself. then he looks at you, the sparkles of the constellations reflected in his eyes causing you to blink and lose your focus for a moment.

the rest of the ride passes in silence, with you occasionally glancing over to check on his state--every single time, he's watching you. you can feel his eyes rake over your body, pausing when he gets to your eyes. you shift uncomfortably in your seat; why is he doing this? after maybe the fifth minute of this, you pull the car over. "okay, what is it?"

"what?" he asks quickly, folding his hands in his lap.

"why do you keep... staring at me? looking at me? do i have food on my face?" nervousness keeps you rambling, keeps you from looking at him.

"oh, i... no," he mutters, and when you finally do look at him, a flush is creeping up his neck.

"then?" you demand, impatient. you hadn't signed up for this, babysitting a drunk kazuha when you could've been tucked into your bed with your book, maybe some ice cream.

"i was just, i was just thinking how much i'd like to... kiss you."

you freeze; opening your mouth, and then closing it. "i'm sorry, what?"

and then he's holding your face, similar to the way he did in the bar, and tipping your chin up. his hair falls into your face, feather-light strands brushing your cheeks. his eyes catch onto yours, intoxicating, filled with the night sky. he brings his lips to yours, and he tastes like sweet champagne and, undeniably, kazuha.

when he pulls away, your hands are shaking on the steering wheel and he settles back with a self-satisfied smirk. "well," he says conversationally, his flushed cheeks and blown pupils shattering his façade of nonchalance. "now that we've got that out of the way, shall we continue?"

kunikuzushi |

you heave a sigh, nursing a coke, scrolling through instagram on your phone. why are you here, at a dinky bar, with kuni nowhere in sight? he had been glued to your side for practically the entire night; sullen, quiet, and holding a bloody mary from which he had taken exactly two sips, and then all of a sudden, he'd vanished.

now, in his place, is a burly boy with his hair combed aggressively away from his face--he's been trying to buy you drinks all night, all of which you had politely refused. now, he's teetering on the edge between tipsy and fully, completely, wasted. "oh, come on, you pretty little thing," he urges. "just one drink? just one drink and one dance, come on."

you fight the urge to get up and leave; that'll make him angry, and in his current state, you don't want to deal with it. "no, thank you," you say again, politely. "i'm the designated driver for my friend, and i have to stay sober."

he rolls his eyes heavily, taking a huge swig from the current drink in his hand. "oh, but fuck that, handsome. you can just come home with me, and your friend can call an uuuuber. come on, i promise i'll make it worthwhile!"

you shove down a retch and flash him a civil smile, turning back to your phone. you jump when he slams a glass down in front of you. "drink!" he shouts, and you cringe away from his flying spittle. "drink, godammit! i said, drink, i don't care about your pathetic little friend!"

you open your mouth, ready to bite back a retort and storm out of here, fuck kuni, when none other than kuni stands between you and the man. all five-foot-four of him. you can't help but feel flattered, his hat clenched in his fist and his hair mussed. he leans close to the man and whispers something in his ear that causes him to jerk back and settle on a stool at the other end of the counter.

"kuni," you breathe, grabbing his shoulder. he spins around, looking at a spot above your right ear. "kuni, thank you. i mean--i could've handled it, but thank you."

"i know you could've handled it," he spits out. "i just. well. i wanted to help. you've been sitting here, and you look so--" he clamps his mouth shut, pointedly looking at your eyebrow. "anyways. are you ready to go?"

you shake your head, confused. "i mean, yes-- i am, but i thought you were having fun? don't you... we can stay here a little longer, i don't mind."

"no," he says stiffly. "no, we're going. i would like to go now, so we are. unless you'd rather stay here with that guy?" he raises an eyebrow and gestures towards the man he'd just run off.

you can't suppress the chuckle that bubbles out of your chest. classic kuni, ditching halfway through and taking everyone with him. although in this case you can't be annoyed, judging how you weren't enjoying yourself anyway.

"okay, no, no, i'm coming," you laugh, grabbing his hand. "c'mon, it's an absolute madhouse. keep ahold of me while we go through, otherwise who knows what would happen?"

kuni has seized up, looking at your hand in his, his hat dangling limply from his other hand. "um," he mutters. "um, i. yeah, sure." and he drags you through the crowd.

kuni's hand in yours, his rough callouses against your smooth palm, sends sparks up your arm. you want to watch his constantly angry face split into a smile--or at least ease up on the frown. you want to watch him laugh. and you want to kiss that bastard.

the two of you emerge from the bar, stepping out of the suffocating heat into cold night air that can't be above freezing. why had you opted to go sleeveless? you shiver, rubbing your hands up and down your arms, casting a glance at kuni's thick jacket. "kuni," you say, smiling at him. "can i borrow your jacket? it's so cold out, and i don't want to walk home...."

kuni scoffs. "who said we were walking home? it's cold, i don't want you to -- i mean, it's too cold for this. my ears are going numb."

you tilt your head. "you don't want me to what?"

his pale cheeks go red. "i mean, i don't want you to catch a cold." you laugh, and he quickly adds, "just because, you know, then you wouldn't be able to drive me anywhere! no other reason, that's it, i promise."

he looks so flustered you almost feel sorry for him, but you can't stop. "you're worried about me, aren't you?"

he crosses his arms. "i'm not. i am not worried about you. stop smiling at me like that! it makes me want to--" he cuts himself off, but this time you don't goad him. you look at him, your heart a butterfly in your chest, your hand warm in his. you step a little bit closer and bend and place a kiss on his cheek. "just for warmth," you tell him, his face beet red and his hand death gripping yours.

xiao |

somehow you've persuaded xiao to let you put his hair up into a ponytail, and archons, you want to kiss him.

you lean against him as he tugs on his hair, scowling at his reflection in his phone camera. "xiao, leave it alone," you tell him, pushing his hands away. "it looks good! it looks good. i promise."

he sighs. "i guess if you say so," he mutters, tucking his phone into his slacks and shouldering his way into the bar. you lag behind, watching the muscles of his arms tense as he reaches up--again--to tighten the ponytail. he turns around and flashes you a small smile, pointing towards the bar. you give him a thumbs-up, grab a coke, and lean against the wall.

it's two hours later, after you've struck up a conversation with a boy--he's awfully cute, you have to admit--that you realize you haven't seen xiao in quite some time and you haven't checked your phone. pulling it out, you see that xiao's blown it up with texts, ranging from yn, where are you? to yn, i'm going to leave without you to yn, coem hep me. you excuse yourself and stand up on your tiptoes, scanning the floor, a furrow creasing between your eyebrows. he didn't really leave without you, did he?

arms wrap around you from behind and you whirl around, coming face-to-face with xiao's chips-of-gold eyes, his nose an inch away from yours. "yn," he says, his voice a deep rumble. "there you are, i've been looking for ages."

you stumble back. his breath smells like wine, and he smells like his cologne--sharp, faintly floral. you inhale deeply, reveling in the smell, and then ask, "xiao, are you drunk?"

he scoffs, shaking his head, but you can tell--he's listing to the side, his hands gripping your shoulders far too tight, his last couple of texts. that explains it. sober xiao would never be this close to you, let alone touch you. and yet, you wonder, staring at his lips, if perhaps...? what other things could drunk xiao do?

you step closer, grabbing onto his forearms. "do we need to leave? are you tired?"

"no," he replies, turning his head. you watch his adam's apple bob and wonder, again, what it would be like to kiss him. "i was just... tired of you flirting with that pretty boy."

you let loose a sharp burst of a laugh, thinking that this must be a joke. it has to be. xiao would never say anything like this, xiao would never act like this, this has to be a fluke. but when you look at him, his eyes are serious, his face unsmiling. "oh, xiao," you say finally. "are you jealous? you shouldn't be. you're awfully pretty as well, you know." and then you clap a hand to your mouth, surprised that you said that. out loud. to xiao.

but he's smiling at you now, his eyes crinkling at the corners, making him look absolutely irresistible. "am i, now?"

and he watches you flounder for words, burying your face in your hands. "no," you reply, your voice muffled. "you're... hideous. ugly. disgusting, even."

"hmm. sure, yn," he says, stooping to pull your hands away from your burning face. "let's get you home. i think you're a little drunk." and with that, he plants a kiss on your mouth.

shikanoin heizou |

you and heizou had planned to meet at the bar, because you lived on opposite sides of the city and catching a taxi together seemed more like a waste of money than anything. he'd called and let you know that he was standing just inside, so you head for the door and let yourself in, shoving yourself past the crush of bodies, desperately scanning the crowd for any glimpse of inazuma's famous detective. finally, you see him, and your heart... stops.

his hair is loose, his usual headband missing, and he's in something so much simpler than what he usually wears--your heart starts up again and stutters, and you wonder briefly how you haven't fainted yet. "heizou!" you shout, gesturing wildly. he turns away from the girl he's talking to, and his smile freezes on his face. his eyes rove up and down your body, taking you in, and his gaze pins you in place. you couldn't move, you think, even if he asked you to. not with those eyes on you.

you curtsy, trying to deflect his attention from you, trying to get him to stop staring at you like that. "yn." he smiles, winking at you. "look at you, all dressed up. i can hardly keep my eyes off you." you blush, knowing he's just a flirt and he says this to everyone, but you can't help but wonder, just a little, what it would be like to have him all to yourself.

"you look not too shabby yourself," you manage to force out, butterflies taking flight in your stomach when he grabs your wrist and yanks you out towards the dance floor.

it's five songs later when you protest against another dance, claiming your feet hurt--you've got blisters on the back of your feet and your toes feel like they're being severed with a chainsaw. you're not drunk, but he's vaguely tipsy, more flirtatious than usual; his hand is on your hip and the other is on the back of your neck, cradling it like you're going to kiss him. which you just might.

"noooo, yn," heizou whines, reaching for you as you peel off your heels and step back. you laugh. "heizou, you'll have no problem finding someone else to dance with. i guarantee it."

he pouts. "but i want you to dance with me! no one else! yn, please, please, please...."

the words send sparks through your chest and a flush rising in your cheeks, but you sit down on a chair. "no," you say firmly. "heizou, seriously. you're a dignified detective, act like it!"

he makes his way over to you and plops down by your feet, resting his cheek on your bare knee. "i am always dignified," he says, his voice muffled by his position. he turns so that his chin digs into your kneecap, and normally you'd push him off, but for some reason, you can't move. the place where his chin is on your knee is burning hot, boiling even, and you wish desperately that you were outside, sitting on the curb in the cool night air.

and that's where you wind up ten minutes later, heizou leaning against you, waiting for a taxi. "i don't understand why you don't have a car," you say, gently trying to shove him off.

"i don't understand why you don't," he retorts, braiding a strand of your hair. you sigh.

"it's just not logical for me. i can take the bus. but you can't, because you have no idea how to take a bus."

heizou rolls his eyes. "i can too take a bus. i'll prove it to you." he makes to stand up, but you grab his arm and pull him down.

"you can prove it to me another time, when you're not so... inebriated."

"inebriated," he repeats. he turns so that he's looking at you, staring right at you, your gaze caught in his, unable to look away. he leans closer, as though he's going to kiss you, and for a moment, you think he might. maybe, if you could just....

a honk blares beside you, and the two of you jump apart as though electrocuted. heizou's flushing, not looking at you, rubbing the back of his neck, and you're sure you look the same.

"a cab?" the driver asks, uncaring of what he's just interrupted. "a cab for ... yn?"

aether |

aether's handsome, and he's been staring at you for the better part of the last fifteen minutes. you and aether are friends; not best friends, not acquaintances. but you're just friends, which is what you keep repeating to yourself when you're seized with the urge to grab his face and kiss him senseless. he's in a loose black top with the upper two buttons undone, his face is flushed with heat, and his hair is escaping its typical braid.

"here," aether says, sliding a drink over to you. you take it from him, raising it in a cheers. you take a sip, closing your eyes. when you open them, aether's making a face at you over your glass, and you choke. as you're about to lower it down, he reaches out a finger and tips the glass up, spilling juice all over you. you cough, gripping the counter for support, frantically fanning the air in front of your face as though it would help.

aether cackles madly, snorting as you gasp for air. a dimple forms in one cheek, the perfect size to press your thumb to it. "oh, that was funny. oh, the look on your face!" he picks up his drink and takes a sip, making a face at the sharp taste.

"it's not funny!" you wheeze, crossing your arms--and then lowering them as you realize that you can't breathe.

"it was so funny," he retorts, setting his drink down. he leans closer. "you have to admit," he says seriously, eyes searching your face, "that it was funny. you're laughing."

you want to slap him, but you also want to grab his hair and pull. would it be soft, you wonder? would it tangle around your fingers....

you shake your head to clear your thoughts, almost as if they're cobwebs. you let loose a final bark of a cough and cast a glare at the glass that sits beside you, pushing it away. aether tilts his head and studies you, sipping his drink slowly. you lean closer and watch his eyes widen a fraction, bracing your elbows on his knees. his face flushes slightly--and you knock the bottom of the glass up, spilling the liquid inside all down the front of his shirt.

aether splutters, jerking his knees up so that your hands slip and you have to right yourself on the stool, laughing. "oh, you should've seen your face!" you tease, handing him a stack of napkins.

aether stops scrubbing at his shirt and sets his napkins down. you can't tell if he's gathering his composure or plotting something back against you, and you study his face, trying to figure out what he's thinking, when he reaches for you and grabs the back of your neck with one hand and your waist with the other, standing right in front of you. his face is so close to yours that you can feel his breath, smelling like alcohol and cherries. his eyes are wide, his pupils blown, and yet his lips never touch yours.

he finally pulls back, and your whole body is hot, and you find that your fingers have found their way to his wrist and your nails dug into his flesh. "you should've seen your face," he says, grabbing the pile of napkins beside him.

sleep/cuddle headcanons

characters: venti, albedo, kazuha, heizou, cyno

warnings: none

notes: gn reader ("you/your"). can be read as platonic or romantic.

venti

In terms of body temperature, Venti is usually neither too cold nor too warm. That being said-- if he is colder than usual, he will absolutely put his cold feet on you. He is a menace.

He is so darn cute, so I can't imagine him sleeping without snuggling something-- a pillow, Dvalin's tail, a plushie, etc.

(For your consideration... Venti snuggled up in a pile of little wind sprites... thank you).

And-- as long as you are comfortable with it-- he would be delighted to snuggle up to you, too!

I feel like he would be open to physical affection pretty soon after meeting you. He just strikes me as an affectionate guy, including platonically.

The first time you shared a bed, he clung to you as soon as you settled in.

He likes to wrap his arms around your waist and nuzzle his head into the crook of your neck. It tickles a little, but it's nice-- he feels secure, and you have your very own personal weighted blanket.

In general, I think Venti would prefer to face you when cuddling, instead of spooning. He gets to look into your eyes, with the added benefit of forehead kisses (both giving and receiving!!!)

I also think he would move around in his sleep-- but not necessarily enough to wake you. You would wake up in the morning to find him sprawled horizontally across you, making it difficult to get out of bed.

albedo

I'm so sorry, but Albedo is cold. It's not a dealbreaker, but I don't think he ever gets warm. At best, his body temperature is just... neutral.

The good news: hot, muggy summer nights with him are WONDERFUL. This also includes traveling in humid climates (like the rainforests of Sumeru). Because he does not really get warm, he is the perfect cuddle buddy for staying cool!

The bad news: there is no... "cuddling for warmth" fanfic trope on Dragonspine. That being said!-- he is well-prepared with heavy duty blankets and sleeping bags. Combine that with some marshmallows and a campfire, and every night on Dragonspine is cozy and warm.

Because he doesn't get warm himself, Albedo doesn't mind if you're warmer. He still can detect heat/cold, so if you're shivering, he'll catch on immediately and fetch another blanket.

I don't think Albedo is used to physical affection, but he still likes to receive it. Though he doesn't go out of his way to initiate, he gets a fuzzy feeling in his chest when you snuggle up to him at night.

Albedo doesn't mind being either the big or little spoon. I also think he would enjoy having you lay your head on his chest. It lets him have a physical reminder of your presence.

If you have hair/if it's long enough, he'll definitely comb his hands through your hair. He also likes to braid sections of it-- it helps him unwind from another long day of research.

kazuha

After describing Venti in a pile of wind sprites... I also had the thought of a sleepy Kazuha in a pile of (equally sleepy) kittens.

Kazuha might be cooler than average in terms of body temperature, but he's otherwise pretty average. He still will keep you warm if it's chilly out, and you won't be overheating in the summer.

I do think that he prefers to not feel too weighed down-- instead of weighted blankets, he prefers layered sheets or fluffy comforters.

He is still a sucker for physical affection, but he is a lot better at hiding it. He won't get very close unless you've asked him to cuddle with you.

If you do muster up the courage to ask him to cuddle-- you will end up creating a monster. Every night, unless you request otherwise, you'll have a very sleepy, very snuggly Kazuha pressed up against you. He'll sometimes prop a leg up and over your hip, just to make sure you aren't going anywhere.

Bonus points if you smell like shampoo/body wash before you go to bed. For the wandering samurai, that particular scent is what grounds him. After all, no matter where he roams, you are his home.

No matter how the two of you are cuddling, Kazuha likes being able to face you. Both before he falls asleep, as well as when he wakes up in the morning, he likes to have a visual reminder that you are still there. Despite his trust in his own senses, he starts to doubt himself when it gets to be too late. Being able to both hold and see you helps.

heizou

Heizou runs at a pretty average body temperature as well. He might be a little warm, but nothing that would be alarming. And if it's too hot out to be cuddling... uh, good luck trying to keep him away from you.

Heizou is both a blanket thief and a (somewhat) restless sleeper. He does the thing where he ends up cocooned in the blankets in the morning, so he has to scramble out of them every time.

If you are sharing a bed, please just get a weighted blanket. This can prevent him from accidentally kicking you in the stomach as he tries to free himself from the blanket burrito.

Alternatively, I suppose you could lie on top of him, and this would accomplish the same thing. But with the added bonus of being able to wake him up with a forehead kiss.

Heizou will be pretty clingy once you've become close enough friends. When you're still getting to know each other, he observes your behavior to deduce whether you'd be open to more physical affection. Once he feels confident enough, he'll start to be more affectionate with you.

Heizou will probably want to lie on top of you, or at the very least, he will use you as a pillow. It's very cute, but it will not prevent him from moving around while he sleeps. At this point, your best bet is to pull him closer and play with his hair. This relaxes him so much that he falls asleep faster, and he tends to wake up less in the night, too.

If he wakes up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep-- he will probably leave the bed to get water or a snack. If he stays up for too long, though, it starts to mess with his sleep schedule. So if you see him try to finish a report or re-read one of his ongoing cases, please drag him back to bed. He'll get back to sleep much faster if you're there to hold him and quiet down his thoughts.

cyno

Cyno is slightly cooler than average, because he is somehow able to get away with having his hair down while traversing the desert. If he were any warmer, he would absolutely have to put his hair back.

I do say "slightly" cooler, though, because he still has to wear light clothing in the hot desert. He's not completely unhinged.

I feel like Cyno would try to just "tough out" cold nights in the desert, with maybe one lightweight blanket or a compact sleeping bag. He insists he is fine without any additional warmth, but if you convince him to join you, he finds himself melting into your arms.

It takes a lot of trust to be able to cuddle with him. Cyno can get somewhat jaded after years of hunting down criminals and enacting justice. You need to show him-- through your actions, not your words-- that you are not hiding some malicious intent or an ulterior motive.

Once he does trust you, though, Cyno learns that cuddling with you is... really, really nice. Having nobody but himself to rely on is exhausting. It's nice to have somebody to comfort you at the end of a long, tiring day.

Cyno likes being able to hold you. He wants to feel like he can protect you, even if the two of you are asleep. He's especially fond of resting his head on top of yours, letting you bury your head into his neck/collarbone. Being held like this, you swear that you've never felt more secure in your life.

Cyno is also fond of pillow talk, but you'll probably have to coax it out of him. Cyno tends to travel alone, which means he rarely has somebody to talk to. He is happy to talk to you about anything, but he would be elated if you let him test out a joke or two.

2023 XVX Fic Recs!

Hi, all, I hope you're having a lovely holiday season! Around the beginning of this year, just for fun, I decided that I would record all of the fanfics that I read this year, and during the summer I had the idea to take some of the best fics I read in 2023 and compile them at the end of the year into a rec list. Since xiaoven was the ship I read the most fics for, I've decided to just do a rec list for them this year, but maybe in the future I'll branch out more!

As with any rec list, please take note of the ratings and the tags for any given fic! Just because something suited my taste doesn't necessarily mean it will suit yours, please take care of yourselves. Now, here are 10* fics that I read this year and think that other xiaoven fans should read too! (Also uh. Sorry for how much I'm about to talk in the reviews lol)

*Keep an eye out for a few bonuses that I've peppered in ;)

We Creatures of Fate, by Wackachu

[Ongoing, Teen, 57.9k, 7/?]

Xiao is a weapon forged from red, carved from the hearts of weeping souls and etched into the memories of grieving mothers. While free under the care of a new God, he finds salvation, yet feels as trapped as the day the chains first clamped down onto his wrists. Venti is a God, one born from the wishes of others as opposed to his own. After losing his loved ones, he can't help but feel lost, high on a throne all alone, built upon all things he despised. The two find each other by chance, yet the rest can only be described as fate. ---------- A telling of Xiao and Venti's story with a hefty load of lore

If there is any fic on this list that should be read, it’s this one. I am an absolute sucker for speculative lore when it comes to Genshin, and the picture that the author has assembled of Archon War-era Liyue is absolutely masterful. Within the threads of that beautiful tapestry, they’ve also been interweaving Xiao and Venti’s developing relationship all the way from when they were a newly-freed Adeptus and young Archon respectively. They have a long journey ahead of them (the burn is slow, folks), and I think that said journey is an absolute must-read.

~

Extra Recs: Wackachu has also written two other xiaoven one-shots, which I highly recommend for more bite-size pieces of their excellent taste!

the holy light of your single lantern, by boxofcrows (@miralia)

[Complete, Teen, 34k, 6/6]

“Long divided by river and sea, For years we two have failed to meet – And suddenly to find you seems like a dream.” Thousands of years of silence, broken by a single visit.

This fic wrapped up recently, so it’s a great time to go and show it some love! One of my biggest sorrows is that xiaoven is rather lacking in really good canon universe fics compared to other Genshin ships, but this fic managed to fill that hole in my heart. The author does a fantastic job of capturing the way that Xiao and Venti’s conflicting natures and ideals can cause friction between them, all while maintaining the undeniable magnetism that they feel towards each other.

Relax In My Arms, by alphaparrot (@aparrotandaqrow)

[Queerplatonic XiaoVen, General Audiences, 5.9k, One-Shot]

As Lantern Rite arrives, Xiao is found exhausted and spent by Qiqi of Bubu Pharmacy, who brings him back to Liyue. Upon awaking, Xiao quickly makes his exit and returns to Wangshu Inn, where Venti is waiting for him on the balcony. Xiao isn't in the mood to party, but maybe a chill hang-out would help him relax. Venti knows just the thing to help Xiao relax and recuperate, and as they both get comfortable, they begin to reflect....

Author's Original Promo Post!

Queerplatonic xiaoven was a flavor of their relationship that I hadn’t tried before this fic, but it really sold me on it. What I’ve always loved about xiaoven so much is the inherent intimacy that can be achieved between them once all of the emotional barriers between them have been stripped away, and I think that those ideas are explored very beautifully here. Xiao and Venti trust and love each other so deeply here, and it shows in every word and touch that they exchange, and I think that it’s a must-read for anyone whose brain chemistry was altered by the ‘Endless Suffering’ trailer (so basically, every xiaoven fan ever lol)

i can not save us (but you can), by anemowisp (@sillygirl19)

[Teen, 19.4k, One-Shot]

two boys figure out what the hell they're doing

In the midst of one of the most turbulent times in my life, one particular line in this fic really hit me where it hurt, and it’s one of the few times that I’ve actually cried reading a fic. In my xiaoven-enjoying friend groups, we sometimes call Xiao and Venti old men with teenager problems, which means they don't always work when turned into actual teenagers/young adults with those problems, but I think this fic pulls it off really well.

~

what queer sins stain thy soul, by Anonymous (@sincerelyandyourstruly)

[Mature, 3.2k, One-Shot]

In which Xiao, long-established asexual, learns that identity is not as stable as he’d like to believe.

As an ace person myself, I feel it’s so rare to find a really good asexual character study where the asexuality is actually one of the central focuses of the intimacy taking place (if anyone has any recs of that variety please hit me up!), but I think that this fic pulled that off really well. It also delves into that particular vibe of when one’s identity might be shifting, which can be a really scary thing, but Xiao in this fic is lucky enough to have someone he loves and trusts to support him as he explores his new desires, which was really comforting to read about.

Where Words Fail, by kavvueh (@kavvueh)

[Complete, Teen, 34k, 12/12]

Author's Original Promo Post!

"You're Barbatos," Xiao repeats breathlessly. The young man in front of him nods. "Yep." "But..." Xiao cuts himself off and tries again. "You're the God of songs and poetry." The Anemo Archon nods his head sagely. "More or less." Xiao fixes Lord Barbatos with the most incredulous look he can manage. "... You're failing Music Theory."

As someone who was also suffering through music theory alongside Venti as this fic was publishing, all of the attention to detail in the musical aspects of this fic absolutely tickled me. But all of that was merely a foundation for a lovely story about a pair of souls finding their partner in a new life. The musical connection that xiaoven have is one of the essential tenets of the ship, and this fic did a beautiful job of using that idea to its fullest potential.

~

Extra Rec: kavvueh has recently started publishing a new xiaoven fic with a similar setting, so if you enjoy these kinds of fluffy modern aus, give that one some love as well!

The Stars in Teyvat are a Lie, and So Is the Sky, by yueyunn

[Complete, Teen, 148.2k, 13/13]

There were several issues that Xiao immediately took with Ningguang’s proposition for him to produce for Barbatos: his other artists had upcoming comebacks and year-end stages that required his attention, he was overworked enough as it were already, and Ningguang was not exactly someone he was looking to do any favors for. While her persistence to overlook all this was one matter, nothing aggravated him more than Ningguang completely ignoring the obstinate fact that he. doesn’t. work. with. idols.

Perhaps I was a bit like Xiao in this fic at the beginning of this year, because I approached the two idol/celebrity aus on my to-read list with open skepticism, and then ended up absolutely adoring them both. What I loved about this fic the most was how much care was put into actually translating the character’s canon backstories into the modern idol au setting. The author clearly has so much love for the characters, and it really shows through in the way that everyone has their chance to shine, even the side characters. This fic also updated recently with 15k words of extras, so it’s a great time to visit or revisit it!

~

Extra Rec: gold rush, by underthethousandstars was the other idol/celebrity au I read this year and really enjoyed, so if those aus are up your alley, I highly recommend it!

low-key (no pressure!), by windrise (Twitter - @/wyndrise)

[Ongoing, Teen, 75.7k, 11/?]

Following his friend’s questionable suggestion, Venti partners with Xiao—the resident grouch of his early morning stats class—for his music project.

If you want to sit down with a fic that will give you the warm fuzzies, this is definitely the one to pick. As alluded to previously, I don’t really go for modern aus as much, but this fic absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. I was getting the ‘squee’s as I read about Xiao and Venti growing closer over the course of working on Venti’s project, as the author has an excellent grasp of the deep inner kindness that the two of them hold, and how that kindness would naturally draw them together.

bouquet of lies, by underthethousandstars (Twitter - @/zhongliorder)

[Complete, Mature, 85.9k, 12/12]

In a world where humans can use elemental magic, Xiao uses his to move through the shadows becoming Liyue’s phantom killer. Known to the public as Alatus, he is their most notorious assassin. One day Xiao secures his biggest job yet: kill the Crown Prince of Mondstadt, Venti. Harbouring no love towards any royal family Xiao pulls off his mission with success. Or so he thought.

This fic falls solidly on the darker end of xiaoven stories (the ‘Dark Fantasy’ tag is there for a reason!), so if you happen to like your ships with an enemies to lovers flare, this is definitely one to check out. This is one of those stories that really managed to pull me into the world of assassins and political intrigue that the author has crafted, and on top of that it puts a fun spin on exploring Xiao and Venti’s individual guilt and the way that it affects them as people. The first fic in the series is finished, but the second installment is currently in progress, so I highly recommend checking that one out as well!

~

every morning in the dark, by magicites (Twitter - @/bribird_wings)

[Complete, Mature, 77.1k, 34/34]

Stuck in a time loop where he succumbs to his karmic debt, Xiao struggles to see the point in moving forward. Venti struggles to save him.

While by far the heaviest of any of the fics I’ve recommended so far (mind the warnings and the tags!!), if you can stomach the subject matter, this is one of those fics that I would refer to as XiaoVen Essential Reading. The author has a pitch-perfect grasp of what makes xiaoven, qualities which are pushed to their limits as the two of them struggle to break free of the loop that they’re trapped in. I took severe emotional damage while reading it, but my only regret was that I hadn’t read it sooner. It’s definitely A Lot, but it’s so, so worth it for anyone who really enjoys this pairing.

~

And with that, we reach the end of the list! If you've made it this far, thank you so much, and I hope I've given you some fics to add to your to-read list for the coming year! I tried to incorporate some newer fics with some classics, so hopefully there's something here you haven't heard from before.

With that said, I'll hopefully be back next year with some more xiaoven or other Genshin fic recs! <3

Mumbles: Daydreaming about drinking a cute boy's blood rn so I'm sorry Aether, you're my canvas for today. Came up with vampire etiquette after daydreaming in the middle of a car ride and it has been engraved in my mind ever since. Can you tell when I get hornier or was it not obvious enough?

Step 1–Offer them animals to drink from (while trying to outdo your competition)

Aether was strolling down the streets of Mondstadt, a dead boar being dragged around as he kept trying to find you. The sight was a little weird, the Honorary Knight carrying around a dead boar while looking everywhere for something. That 'something' was you, a vampire Aether had befriended while traveling Teyvat. You had disclosed to Aether how you were a vampire and how troubling it was looking for food. Most of the available food usually fought back and you had not eaten for a while, your strength wasn't what it used to be. You could still put up a fight, but you didn't have the stamina to chase after an animal that could still fight. You could drink human blood, but (as you explained to Aether), human blood was a luxury that vampires couldn't have repeatedly. Aether wanted you to expand on the topic, but all he got as an explanation before you drifted off to your version of sleep was something about the effects of human blood on a vampire and how strained the human-vampire relationship was because of this.

He found you talking to Venti, a sense of urgency pushing him to you even quicker than before. You were always friendly with Venti, maybe a bit too friendly. According to Aether, at least. Venti was one of the first people you told about being a vampire and, from that day on, he would always hunt down animals for you to drink from. You only came to him when you needed though, if he hunted down animals too frequently when you were around, people might suspect something. Still, this did little to lower Aether's growing jealousy. Why did it have to be the bard all the time? He was more than capable of hunting stuff down for you as well! He would even go as far as offering you his own blood, but you always went to Venti for food. It was not fair! 

His grip on the boar tightened a bit, his eyes narrowing at the bard as he approached. He saw Venti getting closer to you, dangerously close. At this distance, you could probably smell his blood as clear as day. Venti was clearly tempting you, there was no other reason for him to be so close to you. Aether had to do something quickly, or your hunger would get the best of you. There's no way you would want to drink that drunkard's blood when his blood would taste so much better!

He called out your name, trying to mask the intense jealousy he was feeling at the moment. He felt himself falter when he had your gaze on him, you always made him feel so tiny compared to you. Your gaze by nature was predatory, but your gaze right now as you were eyeing the bleeding boar was even more animalistic. You were clearly starving, if the way you licked your lips and the way your eyes didn't leave the boar were any indicators. Venti also eyed the boar, impressed at how shamelessly the traveler was dragging it around Mondstadt.

–H-hey [Name]! I was out hunting and I remembered how you said you needed more food so I got this boar for you! It should last you a few weeks.

You were salivating as you thanked him and grabbed the boar out of his hands. Luckily for you, the area you were in was now deserted–probably because of the stench of dead boar surrounding the area–so you could safely drink from it. You drained the animal of all the blood it had to give, tearing it apart like a ragdoll. Venti stood there beside you, laughing at how hungry you were and remarking that he'd have to hunt something bigger for you next time. Aether butted in, suggesting that you could accompany him in his travels since you were more likely to find bigger prey scattered across Teyvat. Venti wanted to refuse, he was doing this because he was your friend and neither you nor him were inconvenienced by it so Aether didn't have to take on the extra work, but the way Aether was staring at him made him a bit uneasy. He felt it was better to not intervene, something told him it was better for his health if he didn't.

Once you had finished your meal and disposed of the remaining corpse, you answered Aether's proposal with an affirmation. You explained how you were leaving Mondstadt for a while because you felt that the people were suspicious of your mortal status. You were just discussing it with Venti, actually, and both of you agreed that it was best you left while the suspicions died down. Aether listened along, trying to contain his excitement at the idea that you would spend more time with him. This meant more opportunities for him to get close to you, more opportunities for you to drink his blood. There he went again, fantasizing of you using him as you personal blood bank. If he weren't in front of people he would be salivating at the thought. 

Bidding goodbye to Venti, you made your way to your place of residence with Aether by your side. You chatted along the way, thanking him again for such a delicious meal. Aether swore you were eyeing him down as you said that, maybe you were referring to him instead of the boar. Oh dear, you must be able to smell his lust by now. Arriving at your house, you let Aether sleep there with you. It was getting late and it would be so rude to send him back to where he was settled after he had treated you to such a meal.

Settling down on your couch, Aether got comfortable as you bid him goodnight and went to your room. Vampires had a different definition of sleep, so the accommodations you prepared for Aether and Aether alone made his heart burst. You were going the extra mile just to make him comfortable, even if you could just drink his blood and kill him right here. He must be so special to you, it made him delirious just thinking about it.

The weight of hunting and carrying the bull was getting to him, his muscles feeling heavier by the second. Closing his eyes, it wasn't long before he drifted off.

–––––––––––––––

Step 2–Make sure to look as appetizing as possible (bonus points if you emphasize the neck or thighs)

–A-ah~D-drink as m-much as you'd like, I'm–ngh~ a-all yours!

Aether felt the grip you had on his waist, pulling him closer to you. You were currently drinking from his neck, drinking like you had been starved for weeks. You stopped for a bit to let him rest, kissing the are you had just bit and licking away any of the excess blood that was dripping from the bite marks. You asked if he was okay, tracing your fingers over the wound gently while focusing your eyes on him.

He assured you he was, he was more than okay in fact. Still drunk on that last bite, he positioned his hand behind your head and was pushing towards his neck. The indications were clear, but you stopped him before he could continue.

–If you'd allow me, there's another place I'd like to drink from

His face flushed with all the possibilities he thought of. He had to answer quickly though, you were getting hungry again and would soon just default to ravaging him. He responded to you with a "go ahead", hands returning to their original place on his lap as he awaited your next moves. The look in your eyes was more predatory than ever, clearly betraying your intentions as you firmly grabbed his thighs and spread them apart. Aether was incredibly flustered now, hiding his face in his hands as he processed the situation.

You began kissing around his inner thigh, dangerously close to his crotch, feeling around for something. The smell of Aether's blood at the moment was intoxicating and he could feel it. When you had finally found the spot, you began mouthing at it and leaving a lot of open mouth kisses. Slowly, you licked the place and kissed it tenderly one more time. You gave him a warning to stay still and opened your mouth, fangs nicely decorated by your salivas as you lowered them onto Aether's thigh. You were closing in on his thigh, fangs dangerously close to penetrating the skin when…

–Aether!

Aether woke up with a bang, heart almost jumping out of his chest as he tried to regain his senses. Once he finally caught on to his surroundings, he wished the earth would swallow him whole. Did he seriously have a wet dream about you, when you were a couple rooms away? Speaking of you, did you sense it? Could you sense it? Aether prayed you couldn't as he got up and quickly changed his clothes, thankful for the extra pieces of clothing he had mistakenly left in his inventory.

–Aether, are you there?

Curse your calling for him, why did it had to interrupt his precious wet dreams? Trying to look like a man who did not just have a wet dream about the person giving him housing, Aether made his way over to where your voice was coming from. You were carefully setting down a plate of delicious looking food on your table, making sure to also place down a drink. You didn't get much practice cooking human foods, but the aroma and presentation of the breakfast you set down on the table were testaments to your determination, patience, and hard-work. If he weren't pre-occupied with trying to compose his post-wet dream self, he would be absolutely love struck.

–Good morning! Um, what's all this for?

–It's been quite a while since I've had a human guest over, so I tried my best to accommodate to your needs as much as possible. I'm not the best with cooking human food, but I have picked up a thing or two from my visits to the lands of Teyvat. It might not be the best but it should still be edible.

His rationality was telling him to thank you for your thoughtfulness, but his more emotive side was already punching your chest in flustered confusion. How it is possible for someone to be this…effortlessly attractive?! Where all vampires like this? Furthermore, what were your intentions behind all this? Surely, a friend doesn't go out of their way to fit their other friend into their life to the best of their ability after just one night. Or did they? Aether wouldn't know, he considered many people his friends and he was always doing favors for them so he had no room to judge.

Thanking you for the meal (after some inner lovesick screaming), Aether sat down at the chair that was pulled out for him as he began to eat what you had cooked. For someone without much experience with cooking, as you put it, your cooking tasted better than expected. It wasn't exactly restaurant worthy or anything; more so the type of cooking you expect from a memory or a feeling. In a way, Aether rationalized, the type of cooking that could evoke a feeling or symbolize a memory was streets ahead to the type of cooking that was merely enjoyed for its taste.

He wondered if vampires also had this food reaction binary. Surely, there must be different expectations for the type of food vampires ate. Maybe something like blood quality or quantity influenced the way vampires linked those aspects to certain desirable or undesirable qualities. Were there sought after types of blood, like a certain blood type that was more sought after than the rest? Did certain presentations appeal to vampires; maybe some favored obvious displays of submission or maybe some liked a more push-and-pull dynamic. That last thought got him revisiting his dream. With as much dignity as he could muster, he swallowed the bite he was chewing on and asked you the random (not really) question.

–Hey [Name], is there any sort of…what's the word…desired presentation in the things you drink from that make it more…appetizing? I guess?

You stayed pensive for a few moments, making Aether freeze and examine the situation. You didn't look weirded out or uncomfortable by the question, but your silence still made him uneasy. He hoped he hadn't overstepped any boundaries by asking that question. He didn't know the point in which discussing being a vampire became acceptable, but he already went over that bridge so the only option left was to burn it. After some time in deep thought, you decided you reached your conclusions and proposed a sort-of answer.

–Depends on the source of the blood and if etiquette applies to that source.

Etiquette? Vampires had that? Was it like with humans and all the different fork types, or was it like how people say it’s good etiquette to eat with their mouths closed? Either way, Aether was intrigued .

–What is this “vampire etiquette” you speak of? From my general knowledge about vampires, there doesn’t seem to be much manners or class involved when they eat.

You were quick to correct him, a tad bit offended by his–in your words–offensively stereotypical remark. Vampire etiquette, as you explained, was a sort of code that vampires followed when feasting. Yes, it was always at play ever since the agreement between vampires and humans was formed. It dictated things such as who one was allowed to feast upon and what the nature of that feasting meant.

The hierarchy of feasts, as you lovingly dubbed it, was at the centerpiece of vampire etiquette. Common feasting material such as animals didn’t fall under the agreement, hence why vampires could feast as gruesomely and violently as they wanted to from them. Humans, however, were protected under the agreement. Most humans are untouchable to a vampire, unless there is a close enough bond based on mutual respect and trust. No fear mongering or threatening a human into giving themselves up for feeding.

Once the bond was obtained, there were certain places that were off limits. If the pair were simply trusted acquaintances, you would usually drink from their wrists; if the pair were close friends, you would drink from their forearms; if the pair were lovers, you would drink from their neck. The stomach was off limits because of its delicate nature and drinking from below the waist held a different, more intimate meaning for vampires.

This last part urged Aether to make one final question. If your answer was what he expected, then his dream would hold so much more significance than he thought.

–And what exactly does drinking from below the waist mean for vampires?

–Especially if it’s the thighs, drinking from below a human’s waist is our way of claiming a human as ours. Whether it’s for sexual purposes or for feeding purposes–although those go hand in hand sometimes–it’s a final act of possession done with care. Once the mark is there, no other vampire can touch said human. It’s a beautiful display of trust and intimacy, if a tad bit possessive. Once a human is bitten, their senses are heightened and the effects that feeding normally has are amplified to the point of madness; generating an almost insatiable craving from both parties. I rambled off topic, haha, sorry to bore you with silly vampire things.

Your apologies went unheard, Aether’s mind going blank as you mentioned the last bits. 

You were claiming him, claiming him to be yours to own in every sense of the word and he was more than happy to oblige.

–––––––––––––––

Step 3–Entice them (bonus points if you play with fate a little)

–To be honest, I’ve always wanted to try Jean’s blood.

That was not the answer Aether was looking for. Yeah, Jean was thoughtful and sweet and–from certain, very specific angles–she was pretty. But Aether was all that too! He was so much more than the acting grandmaster, he could be so much more useful to you than her! She didn’t even have time for you; Aether was over here following your every whim and even “accidentally” cutting himself in front of you! He was practically giving himself over to you and you still wanted to try that damm anemo user’s blood! 

Oblivious to his inner turmoil, you continued.

–She just looks like she would taste delicious, like a good cup of coffee and maybe some French toast. Speaking of, your scent is also a very appetizing one Aether. I must admit, seeing you bleeding near me so often is intoxicating sometimes. Please take better care of yourself, especially with how much fighting you do. You might alert other vampires, and I just can’t have that happening. 

Aether didn’t know if he was going red with anger or happiness. So his attempts were working! Heck, you just claimed possession of him just a few sentences ago! Yet why were you rambling on about Venti’s sweet taste of dandelion wine and Jean’s comforting scent of a fresh cup of coffee? You were supposed to only be describing him in those words, only be thinking of his blood and how precious he is to you. You should only be allowed to ravage him and him only, claiming him as yours until he has no more left to give. 

Aether dared to ask questions and you dared to give answers, describing an arbitrary blood type as if describing your last meal on this earth. No matter how specific your tastes got, Aether was sure he could manage. After being around you so long, he knew the determining factors in blood taste. All he had to do was present a certain way and make you familiar with his taste.

A few days later, after sharing one last meal with some friends in Mondstadt, you failed to notice the drops of blood mixed in to the tea you were drinking at the restaurant. A week later, after traveling through a vampire infested area, you failed to notice how your arm was wrapped tightly around his waist and how your teeth were bared at any vampire eyeing Aether. A month later, you failed to notice the lack of gifts from a certain anemo archon and the dwindling food supply that you swore you had restocked. An indefinite amount of time later, you noticed how you were getting more and more hungry, and how Aether was getting more and more appetizing.

A few days later, Aether noticed how eagerly you drank that cup of tea and how you commented on the wonderful taste. A week later, Aether noticed how you closed around him like a predator and how your actions became possessive by the passing days. A month later, Aether noticed how you eyed him while making some remark about the lack of food. An indefinite amount of time later, Aether feigned ignorance at the fact that you were loosing grip on your humanity and that he was the only semblance of hope you had left.

Scaring that bard was worth it, the constant cuts on his skin were worth it, the way your grip bruised his skin when you got hungry was worth it, the way his dreams grew more and more realistic was worth it; everything was worth it for this day to finally come. Just one more “failed expedition” and he would finally be at your mercy.

–––––––––––––––

Step 4–Show off your blood in-front of them (bonus points if you do it while they're starving)

–A-Ah~ Help me, there’s so much b-blood and I c-can’t–ugh–fight like this…

Your mind wanted to say that it didn’t mean to sound like an invitation. Your mind wanted to yell at you to get out there and save a friend. Your mind was also lost in a haze of hunger and thinly veiled lust, so the screaming at the back of your head remained distant.

You quickly located his voice, running to where he was. Cuts and scratches littered his skin, red and hot as tears cascaded down his face. He looked so defenseless, bloodied up and lying like wounded prey. Those cuts on his neck were taunting you, perhaps some light licking wouldn’t be too bad…

You resisted the urge to slap yourself for that. Help him first, then you can talk about a possible feeding arrangement. You got closer to him, lifting him up and carrying him back to camp. With what materials there were, you bandaged up his wounds and made sure dispose of any blood that would taunt you. You gave yourself props for staying sane this kind despite the hunger hurried deep in your stomach.

Aether was so vulnerable, defenseless. If you were to drink from his blood, he surely wouldn’t notice given his weakened state. He would be powerless to stop you if you were to have your way with him. He was in a daze, staring up at you with hopeful yet glazed eyes as he thanked your for saving him. He managed to straighten himself up, neck dangerously close to your mouth. His wounds were still open, letting the smell of blood fill your senses.

Your mind was very hazy, thoughts stringing together as all rationale faded to the back of your mind. The overwhelming urge to devour took control of all your senses. Aether looked at you, feigning worry as your head pounded.

–Is there something-ngh-wrong? You don’t look to good.

His words were mushed together in your mind, his body dangerously close to yours. You just hope he would forgive you for what you’re about to do. 

–What are you—Ha-hah~

–––––––––––––––

Step 5–Enjoy the hungry vampire drinking from your neck

So fulfilling, so delicious, so submissive. His blood tasted sinful, a perfect mixture of sweet and savory that had you itching at your very core. He was handcrafted to fit you, his skin was crafted to be pierced by you. He was a gift from Celestia itself, and finally, he was in your reach.

His wanton moans filled your ears, sinful sounds that spurred you on to drink just a little more. He arched perfectly into you, giving you deeper access to his neck. You greedily took more than enough blood, hungrily sucking away at the crimson droplets that escaped his wounds. Unbeknownst to you, Aether was smiling maniacally in triumph. 

He finally got what he wanted! You skipped over all his other places, you were directly biting his neck! All he had to do know was get you to bite his thighs and he’d be officially claimed as yours. He could overlook the dizziness and blood loss for a while. Also damm, he was getting hornier by the minute. Vampire saliva was really something to experience holy shit.

You pulled away from his neck, instead claiming his lips. The drops of blood left on your lips intertwined with his own saliva, making for the perfect presentation of submission. You pulled away, watching as he stuck out his tongue to try and chase you back into the kiss. His eyes were glazed over and half lidded. He pleaded for you to kiss him again. Well, he did let you drink from him…a treat wouldn’t do him wrong.

You kissed him again, hungrier this time. Your tongues intertwined first, followed by a sloppy kiss and then another. Your teeth grazed over his tongue, cutting it slightly. You could feel the blood ooze out of the wound, as well as Aether’s whimpers at the slight pain. You dragged your own tongue over the wound, savoring the taste of his blood and saliva intertwining into one. 

–Fuck…Oh Aether, you’re heavenly~

You breathed it against his lips as your hunger kept winning your inner battle. Having your saliva directly in his mouth was intoxicating; the saliva coating his wound as the aphrodisiacs got injected into his bloodstream. Soon enough, he found his mind only thinking of you. His skin ached, the blood under it almost fighting to get out. He whined as you pulled away again, your hunger subsiding while his desperation grew. The aphrodisiacs from your saliva were flowing freely in his bloodstream, mind but a muddled mess of only you.

You perhaps forgot to mention the extend of how possessive vampires can be, especially around blood so good as Aether’s. Perhaps it was the hunger and how deprived you were, perhaps it was how delicious Aether looked, perhaps it was a combination of both. Whatever the case, you knew you couldn’t let him go wonder about; no, he had to belong to you.

Aether was pulled onto your lap, a deep bite decorating his neck while drool cascaded down his lips. His eyes were unfocused, glazed with what you assumed to be lust. He was searching for you again, leaning into you whenever he could. It was clear you had drank a lot, if the swaying of his body and the shiver of his limbs were any indication. He was high off of the sensations and clearly wasn’t thinking straight.

You gently pushed him off you and laid him down, examining his wound as you gently grazed your fingers over it. Your eyes scanned over his body for any more wounds you might’ve missed in your hungry state. After making sure there weren’t any infections, you tried persuading him to sleep and regain his energy. This way, he could hopefully loose that strong scent of his quicker so only you would be able to smell it.

There was only one problem, he was still affected by the aphrodisiacs. He kept blubbering nonsense about a plan and how he finally got you to drink his blood. Some other things about starving you slipped past his lips, as well as some moaned pleads and promises.

–Haah~ F-finally! Please, make me yours! A-Ah fuck! Own me~ I-I promise I’ll be the best meal you’ve ever had! Ngh~

His pants and moans were turning you on more than you’d like to admit. However, that wasn’t the important part. The important part was how Aether had confessed to wanting you and all the horrible things he did to get to this point. You should be mad, fuming even, but your hunger kept getting the better of you. What a sweet little thing, willing to do so much for you. You were sure you could repay the favor tenfold. You had made up your mind; from here on out, he was only allowed to think of you

–It’s all finally making sense…no wonder you always smell of lust. 

–––––––––––––––

Step 6–Get horny and desperate as you’re claimed by the vampire (good job you’ve done it)

Aether was sobbing from his place in your lap. This felt so much like that dream he had a while back, only this time you were so much hungrier. You were drinking from his neck, dead set on draining the blood out of him it seemed. He was long gone by the time you let go of his neck, the aphrodisiacs taking over his mind once more. Poor thing, dumbed down to sit pretty and take what you give him.

You dove back into his neck, hungrier than before as he slowly got dizzier and dizzier. As soon as you felt this, you pulled back, feigning worry as you fretted over him. You asked him if you had bit him too hard, if he needed rest, but he was too blissed out to say anything. You bit back a smirk, a thoughtful look in your eyes as you calmly proposed something to Aether.

–Oh you poor thing, you must be exhausted after all I took from you. Hmm, what about this; how would you like a reward for your obedience?

He sure was attentive enough to catch on to your words, head snapping to meet your eyes. There was expectation in his eyes, almost taunting you to take him. It was like you flipped a switch since that day, the feedings were getting more regular and he was always covered in bite marks. A reward, it would do him good. A few days rest or a 5 course meal would do him wonders.

After a minute or two of silence, he nodded his head, waiting for his reward. What he didn’t expect was for you to carry him off and disappear in the blink of an eye. He was suddenly in some dark room, located who knows where. He was gently placed down on a soft bed, giving him some time to look around. The windows were tinted and, by the looks of it, the place was really high up. There was no discernible landmarks that would indicate location.

Panic began setting in little by little, but it was soon driven away as you gently stricken his face and ordered him to lay down. He listened, back hitting the soft mattress lightly as you kneeled by the edge of the bed. Grabbing his thighs, you pulled him towards you, his ass slightly hanging off the bed. You unbuckled his pants and pulled them off him, tossing them so where in the room. Next, you took of his boxers and threw them somewhere as well.

You were left with the perfect view of his thighs, ass, and dick. Kissing your way up his legs, you stopped by the inner thighs and payed very close attention to them. A flurry of open mouthed kisses were left on his thighs, with just enough pressure that he could feel the edge of your fangs.

This was just like his dream, ten times better in fact! Now you would bite into his thighs and claim his properly as yours, all he had to do was wait a bit longer and- 

Aether let out a long whine when your lips left his thighs, kissing the tip of his dick before settling on kissing the rim of his ass. He inhaled sharply at that, peeking down at you and asking you what you were doing.

–Aw, are you so fucking out of it you can’t register your reward? I’m going to make you cum in my tongue as many times as you want to, dear. Aren’t I so kind?

Aether moaned loudly at that. He hadn’t even thought about sex until you brought it up, so he couldn’t let go of this opportunity. Caging your head with his legs, he eagerly pulled you closer to his ass, waiting for you to make the next move. 

Chuckling slightly, you kept kissing his rim. It escalated into open mouthed kisses until you were forcing your tongue into him. You felt Aether grab onto your hair, legs squeezing your head as he whined and moaned. You began moving around, making sure to feel his walls very well. It wasn’t long before Aether was a moaning mess, to dumbed out to focus on anything other than your tongue in him.

–Ah~ M-more, please more!

You couldn’t deny a voice so sinful. You began thrusting in and out of him, fangs occasionally scratching his ass while your tongue continued to carve its way into him. After a while, it touched a particularly sensitive spot that had Aether basically howling as he came, hard. Your movements slowed to a stop, slowly pulling out before kissing the rim and diving back in again. Not caring for the overstimulation, Aether continued to beg for more of your tongue in him, having organs after orgasm after orgasm until he had nothing left to give.

When the grip on you hair loosened and his thighs felt numb beside your head, you pulled out. He was a proper mess, tears and drool all over his face while cum coated his stomach and dick. You cleaned him up and tenderly caressed his face, watching in adoration as he leaned into your touch.

He was feeling very tired, his bones turning into mush as he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep…only to be jolted awake when he felt a sharp sting on his thighs. He looked down and, sure enough, you were biting down on his thighs. Your grip on is thighs as you licked and bit at them was deadly, not letting go until his legs were shaking. He could feel himself getting hard again, aroused at the idea that you were finally claiming him.

As if reading his mind, you laughed and licked down his thigh, getting closer to his dick and lightly blowing on it. Amused at the reaction he gave, you continued licking down both of his thighs and puffing air at his dick. You were nothing short of addicted to his taste, and you’d make sure all of Teyvat knew.

You looked back at your slut, tongue lolled out of his lips as he thanked you over and over again. How shameless, drooling over being claimed. In return, you sucked harder, making a beautiful arrangement of bites and hickeys all over his thighs. 

–Oh you dumb little thing, only being able to think of how good I pleasure you. I’m sure you would like getting drained by me all the time if you could. Would you like that; belonging to me until all of your blood runs out? Of course, I will never let it run out, you’ll be stuck with me for the rest of eternity. 

You emphasized your statement with a particularly harsh suck, watching as the boy in front of you moaned louder and louder until you were sure he would damage his voice. His senses were so much more alert than ever, every one of them being filled with you. Your insatiable hunger as you kissed up and down his thighs was driving him insane. He could surely get used to being treated like this, drained half to death only to be resuscitated and begin the process again.

With a final shout, he came as you detached from his thighs, his vision fading as splotches of black took over. The last thing he remembered before he passed out was a tender kiss to his forehead before feebly looking down at his thighs, covered in bites and bruises from you precious assault on them.

If this is how he would die, he could die a happy man.

For the ask game: 1, 9, 22!

for this ask game!

1. OTP?

honestly i find it kind of hard to pick one because all of my favourite ships are ones that i feel like i enjoy equally However if i had to choose i would probably say xiaoven (zhongven and zhongchi are incredibly close seconds though)

9. Write a recommendation of someone else's fic you enjoyed!

source of inspiration by @stardustdiiving is a really nice piece on family resemblance and the ways in which people leave marks on the things they create (whether intentionally or not) explored through ei and wanderer! i'm. not that good at writing recommendations for things lol but just know that i really enjoyed it and that the ideas it presents about how ei might potentially react to meeting wanderer are really interesting :3

22. Give us a headcanon for [character]! (gonna just go with venti bc you didn't specify lol)

i headcanon that venti made zhongli's fake vision for him because he made his own and it is a Very accurate imitation (also just because i'm a sucker for those two and i think it's cute afjshshs)

You and venti knew each other for a while now and were always in the tavern drinking your hearts out, not long ago you realized that you had feelings for venti. so you confessed your feelings and boom, you two got together! isn't sweet?

the two of you are together for a month now, venti would always help you do your commissions on the adventurer guild, he helped you on everything and you were thankful enough for it.

“ thank you again venti! ” you said and smiled at him, the two of you finished clearing out camps and helping citizens.

“ no problem! but i do want you to know ” the bard said and points at his cheek,

you could only chuckle as you kiss him on the cheek, “ there, that's your reward ”

venti giggle and makes his way to mondstadt as you did the same to collect your reward from katheryne and give venti some mora.

“ thank you! ” you thanked katheryne as you give her a close-eyed smile as she smiled back.

counting the mora as you were about to give the mora to venti when you saw him running away from the cats... poor venti you hurriedly put the pouch where the mora was placed as you run in the direction where he got chased by cats.

“ aha! There you are! ” Diona says as she picked up the cat and smiled while she glared at the bard and smiled once again when she saw you.

“ y/n! I'm so glad you're here ” venti said as he sneeze while looking at the cat, “ yeah, I saw you got chased by the cat so.. ” you explained and stopped midway sentence (even if it's not a sentence)

You two didn't notice diona started walking away as you hold venti's hand and goes in the opposite direction.

“ let's go, I still need to count the mora so I can give you half of it, ” you said as you dragged venti to your house.

“ I can't thank you enough for real. ” venti said sniffing as he looks at you. “ yeah? and i'm thankful enough the cat didn't scratched you. ” you said and grinned,

venti stands up and looks at you like “ i'm sorry, what? 🤨 ” venti rolled his eyes and huffed “ as if the cat can put their paw on me when i sneezed nonstop?? ”

“ they're grossed out, that's why ” you joked and giggled handing him the mora, “ for you to pay your unpaid wine in angel's share or i will tell diluc he should ban you from drinking there? ” you said trying to threaten the bard.

“ hahaha! good joke, darling. ” he said and laughed as he quickly grabbed the mora on the table and kissed you on the cheek before walking away.

you heard the door closed as you lay your head on the kitchen counter, you still haven't told venti yet that you will go to liyue for a commission that katheryne told you earlier when you were taking your rewards.

‘ maybe i will just write a note later.. ’ you said to yourself before drifting to sleep.

you woke up at the sound of someone shaking you, “ [name]! wake uppp ” venti whined as he kept shaking you.

“ what time is it? ” you said rubbing your eyes as you look at the clock and it's only 9:00pm, very shocking for you to see venti home early.

venti's eyes lit up when you raised your head as he giggled to himself and shows you a paperbag, “ a little gift from me! ” he said and raise his eyebrows up and down.

you tilted your head to the side as he shove the paper bag on you and smiled at you, “ i know you will be gone for a while! ” he said, “ and don't ask how i knew it ehe ” he added giving you his usual ehe.

rolling your eyes as you peek inside the paper bag and it looks like a keychain. “ let me guess, this is a keychain? ” you said confidently.

venti shrugged, “ I dunno, maybe?? ” he said playfully. you grab the "keychain" as you examine it. It's cute you thought to yourself as you smiled.

“ a barbatos keychain, really? ” you asked raising an eyebrow. “ what? don't tell me you don't like barbatos? ” he said huffing.

“ it's not that and i know you're barbatos because of... ” you trailed off as he just nodded.

“ i know! but like you know? ” he said making those weird gestures when a person doesn't know how to say the correct word.

you laugh at him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips “ I will always remember you, hell you can even fly to liyue. ” you said joking about flying to liyue.

venti chuckled, “ maybe flying to liyue to see you is not bad. ”

the two of you were now both tucked in bed as venti nuzzled on your neck and hugged your waist as he mumbles a goodnight before drifting to sleep.

you sighed softly as you heard venti snoring keeping you close to him. you quietly laugh as you look at the window and see the moon shine through the window.

closing your eyes as the dark swallowed your vision and drifted off to a night of good sleep.

venti grunted as he put a hand over his head before sitting on the edge of the bed, still sleepy as he blink.   “ ah. i must have drank too much that night. “ he said to himself as he close his eyes to try and lessen the headache he was feeling.

. . . next day

he turned around and saw you're still sleeping as he smiles to himself before he stands up into the bed quietly. he walks on where the windows and he open the curtains to reveal the sunset.

venti squinted as he turn around trying to block the sun from his eyes. he blinked once more before giving a kiss on your forehead. “ i will cook breakfast for us. “ he said to himself as he gets out of the shared bedroom.

you groaned as you sniff your eyes opening wide. “ who could be cooking? “ you asked yourself as you sniff once again the aroma of delicious breakfast is making you so hungry that you quickly stand up and goes to the kitchen.

. . . a few minutes later

“ i smell breakfast here, “ you said in a sing-song voice as you saw venti on his apron his hair still disheveled as he yawns and laughs at you. “ it’s your favorite, “ he said and smiled at you putting it on a plate.

“ so that’s why it smells yummy “ you joked and grab the plate putting it on the table as venti puts more food on the table and a drink. the both of you started eating as you look at the clock and it was just 7:00 A.M you still have more time to prepare.

. . . . . .

venti is the one who finishes eating first as he stands up and walks out of the kitchen to fix his hair and take a quick shower.

on the other hand, you're still eating as you take your sweet time to finish your food and drink while venti walks into the kitchen again looking more charming.

“ wow, who’s this pretty boy? “ you teased as you stand up, taking the plates on the table as you put them on the sink venti laughed and sneaks behind you as he kiss the back of your neck. 

venti moves away from you as he goes to your side and looks at you before saying something, “ time flies so fast you should get ready now! “ he said energetically. “ i will be the one to do those dishes okayy? “ he added taking the plate away from your hand as he smiled and push you into the bathroom.

After that, i cannot think of more scenarios

walking out of the bathroom as you heard venti singing in the kitchen as he wash the dirty plates. 

“ wash it carefully! “ you shouted, reminding him as he replied a yes before going back to singing. as you walks to your shared bedroom as you saw your clothes laid out on the bed.

‘ venti must have done this.. ‘ you thought as you smile at yourself as you wear the clothes that venti readied for you with a big smile on your face. he really knows your style.

looking at the mirror as you admire yourself and complementing yourself non-stop is just chef kiss.

“ love! are you done? “ venti shouts outside of the bedroom as he knocks. “ uh, yeah! one second! “ you replied fixing yourself quickly as you grab the comb and brush your hair while you open the door seeing venti with shades on and a bag.

“ what’s with the fit..? “ you asked him confused. “ duh? i will be going with you! mondstadt to the stone gate. “ he said sheepishly. you shrugged as you nodded “ alright, i won’t stop you “ 

. . . . . . .

you two gets out of your house as you walks on the adventurer guild while venti just follows you as he greet people on the streets. 

“ hello, katheryne! good morning. i’m here to take my commission on liyue. “ you said to the lady in the adventurer stand as katheryne just smiled at you and give you a piece of paper.

“ give this to the other katheryne which is in liyue and she will give you the information you needed from your commission. “ katheryne explained as you take the paper out of her hand.

“ alright.. thank you. “ you said putting it in your pocket before waving goodbye to katheryne as venti did the same.

you and venti were walking as you and venti bumped into noelle holding a crate as she smiled at you both. “ hello,[name]! “ she greeted as she put the crate down.

“ seems like you and venti are going to travel? ” Noelle asked because of not so big bag venti was carrying. you nodded as you have a little chit-chat with noelle. while venti just did everything to distract himself.

“ ah! we really need to get going and you should get going too, folks must have been waiting for you,” you said, remembering that you need to go to liyue and noelle has some duties she needs to complete.

noelle smiled at you as she said she was sorry for stopping you and venti as you just said that she has nothing to sorry about before continuing going for on a walk.

few hours later. . .

“ love, come on... wouldn't gliding be faster? ” he said how many times that you could count.

you stopped in your tracks and turned around to see venti exhausted from the walk you two did, “ you have been saying the for like a whole 1 or 3 hours! ” you said looking at him as he just sit on the ground.

“ come on, no time for resting, and the stone gate is nearby then I can just walk alone to the nearby inn. I heard wangshu inn is getting near,” you said trying to drag venti and his big ass bag.

the sun was about to be out as he groaned while you were still trying to drag him but eventually give up on dragging him as you sit next to him on the ground.

“ we're just a mile away from the stone gateeee ” you whined laying your head on his shoulder.

“ just a bit of rest here? even we're on the path just a little bit of rest I promise! ” venti said.

you both (venti) got the rest he wants and longed for as the both of you continued to walk.

the sky was a hue of orange with white as the both of you were now in the stone gate you both take a rest before continuing to walk to the near inn, which is wangshu inn.

after resting. . .

the sky was now just dark as you both got near the inn that you two will stay in for the night. you and venti were talking about what time he will go back to mondstadt and assuring him that he won't need to worry about you.

“ are you sure? ” venti asked for the third time as the two of you are walking down the stairs.

“ yes, i'm sure! ” you reassured smiling at him as he calmed down and just nod before whining about him being hungry.

you think of how childish maybe and how cute he could be as you both keep walking on the stairs ( you both didn't know there's an elevator if that's what you called it)

the called yaksha (xiao) was just about to go to his room as he saw both of you talking and laughing, xiao could tell that boy you were with was familiar to him.

he didn't go near the both of you as he paid no mind to you and venti and just think that you and venti are just a cute couple that will visit liyue.

you checked in on the receptionist as the one that was on the reception said she was verr goldet.

you nodded and thanked her as you walk outside and see venti looking out on the balcony.

“ hey, love! I got the key. you should put your bag in the room too that looks heavy. ” you said and pointed at his bag.

the bard nodded as he followed you into the room and put his bag down.

he sighed as he sits on the floor looking at you while you unpack your bag. you are planning to stay here then just go to liyue to finish the commission then go back to mondstadt.

a few minutes later you heard venti whining as he stands up and hug you from behind, “ did you bring food? or there's food here in the inn? i'm hungryyy ” he whined as he lay his head on the top of your head. ( imagine he's tall 😍😍 )

“ i think i saw a kitchen here and they have a chef to try looking there while i unpack my things,” you said smiling as he nodded and walk out of the room.

meanwhile on xiao's side. . .

he was laying in his bed thinking about the man he saw when he was about to go to his room. xiao could tell that it was a bard from mondstadt just because of his strange clothing.

xiao was curious about the mortal he was with, speaking of mortal why he is hanging out with them? xiao shakes his head he shouldn't jump to conclusions because he just saw a familiar face.

sighing as he sits on the edge of the bed as he stands up and walks out of his room. closing his eyes as he breathes the fresh air and looking down to see you.

you were looking outside to look at the beautiful place you were in right now, it's impressive that they made an inn, in a tree.

xiao observe every movement you did even though he was just outside his room.

“ [name]! ” a voice called out as the source of the voice was the man you were with, now that he's thinking about it he does look really familiar to him. by just the looks and his clothing could it really be venti..?

he was lost in thought as you and venti were talking about how the food in the inn was delicious and that he wanna ask the chef for some recipes.

“ alright, alright you can ask the chef in the morning since that's the time you will be leaving and I will be fine I swear,” you said and assured him that you will be fine as you push him inside again and walked into the room.

xiao's thoughts were cut off by you and venti leaving since it got really quiet outside.

“ I shouldn't think about them,” he said to himself as he keep convincing himself that the boy you were with was not the same as the person he saved him by just some music he played that time.

Next day. . . 

it was now morning as venti packed his important things and left the wangshu inn to go back to mondstadt since he needs to perform. (he performs everyday so he can pay for his wine/j)

“i will be going now! “he said before walking out of the room and close it. now you were alone on the room as you sit on the edge of the bed and sigh thinking on what to do since it’s still early.

‘ since it’s still early maybe i will explore liyue..’ you said in your mind as you stands up and fix yourself before going out of the room as you walk out of the room locking in as you put the key on your pocket.

you checked your small bag as you were sitting near your door digging through your bag. ‘ah... where is it..’ you thought digging through your bag. you stopped looking for a minute as realization hit you. ‘...i forgot i just need to summon my weapon’ you said to yourself, dumbfounded as you close your bag and stands up walking away happily and skipping away as if you just didn’t dig through your bag to look and find your weapon.

ha you thought no one saw it? xiao did 😈😈 he literally looked at you in a weird way ( not really weird but weird way ) as he just teleported to his destination as you were walking happily like nothing happend.

you were not that far from wangshu inn since you can still see the inn far away. you grab your map as you look at where you are now, its still farm from liyue but the sun is just rising.

“ yep! more places to go ” you said yourself as you put back your map on your backpack and continue to walk on where liyue is. 

walking for a few hours was like walking all day to go to liyue! it’s really exhausting that you just wanna rest under a tree and not worry anything, but then a hilichurl was now aiming for you. ‘ what a good reminder that i cannot stay under a tree and not worry anything because of these things. ‘ you thought as your polearm and slashed the hilichurl in an instant. you don’t even need to use your vision on this weak creatures. it will be a hustle if they are in groups and you necessarily need to use your vision.

you throw your polearm on the air as it disappears into thin air as you continue your journey to liyue. the sun was now up and you were middle of nowhere but you tell you are near liyue.

in liyue. . . ( i don’t want it to make it even longer please 💀)

you were panting as you saw liyue in your own two eyes. ‘ finally! i welcome myself to liyue. ‘ you said to yourself and walks on the entrance of liyue.

liyue is really pleasing to look at, the sound of the waves, people chatting and kids playing and laughing is just so pleasing to listen to. you are starting to like liyue as you tried to look on where the adventurer guild is while you run into someone.

“ lumine, look! it’s [name]! “ paimon said pointing at you, looking around trying to find something. 

lumine look at paimon and you. “ is that really them..? “ lumine asked trying to be sure it’s you. when they first met venti, venti’s mouth won’t stop babbling about you and how kind and beautiful you were when you two were still not together.

“ why would i even point them out if it’s not them!? “ paimon said and stomping her feet on the air. “... you got a point, i guess “ lumine said and walk towards you as paimon followed.

“ hey, [name]! “ lumine said cheerfully and smiled at you, you turned your head on who it is and it’s the traveler. “ oh! hey lumine! “ you said and waved at her while she wave back. “ what are you looking for? “ lumine asked you, “ adventurer’s guild, i need to give an important paper on liyue katheryne. “ you answered explaining.

“ ah, i see so katheryne sent you here “ she mumbled and take your hand and drag you to where the adventurer guild is.

you thanked lumine as you give her a small amount of mora. “ i hope this will help even it’s just a small amount of mora since i’m still kinda low on mora.. “ you said and smiled.

“ it’s fine! i’m really thankful for this! “ the blonde traveler said as she smiled at you.

you nodded and wave a goodbye to lumine while you walk on the adventurer’s guild on saw katheryne there standing.

“ hello, katheryne! i’m here to give this to you, “ you said and take the paper out of your pocket a give it to her.

katheryne take the paper out of your hand as she opened it and read the letter or whatever is it on the paper as katheryne just gave you a marked map. ‘ i suppose this where i will go.. ‘ you thought and ake the map out of her hand and you gave your thanks before walking away.

“ kinda far. “ you deadpanned and fold the map and put it on your small bag.

liyue katheryne didn't really explain it or put in into details so you don't really know what you will look for or what you're gonna fight. maybe it's a treasure?

‘ treasure is too luxurious ’ you said to her mind as she walks on where wangshu inn is, there's no due date or deadline of the commission, she will just do it tommorrow and leave by the morning again.

‘ it was getting dark soon, i should move faster so i can go back to the inn without a hustle and won't encounter more dangerous creatures here. ’ you were tired on walking for hours and you needed to walk for hours again, you're sure you will be sleeping on the floor today because of exhaustion.

. . . . . . . .

the sun was nowhere to be seen on the sky which means it's getting dark obviously and you were now in guili plains. ‘ i feel like i was faster than before, ’ you said to yourself feeling proud.

guili plains is an open space. you could definetly see if there's a ruin guard or something nearby, there were even treasure hoarders resting or whatever.

after walking for hours you reach your destination, wangshu inn.

“ i made it! ” you said to no one but to yourself as you walk into the small(?) stairs and sit there to catch your breath.

xiao teleported down the wangshu inn since he was done with his duties and wanna check if there's anything wrong or everything is fine, until he saw you there sitting. panting catching your breath.

“ i'm so beat upp ” you said obviously tired and not aware of the yaksha's presence. “ wait i think i have a water in my bag.. ” you said talking to yourself.

you grab your bag and opened it digging through your stuff again and saw you water bottle. “ aha! there it is. ” you said and opened it and drinking the water.

xiao didn't mind you at all or even forgot you were there as he just checks if everything is fine down here and the people is doing great.

you put your bag strap on your shoulder as you stand up to make your way on the reception when you saw someone checking on things.

he has medium dark hair with teal undertones. you tried to recall a memory when you were talking to lumine when he visits mondstadt once again.

lumine told you about an adepti was staying on wangshu inn. lumine even described it since she was really excited to tell you about it all.

now that you think of it, it looks like the vigilant yaksha lumine talked to you about and you remember she said that he was a cold person and doesn't really talk to mortal a.k.a humans.

you didn't realize you were staring at him for so long that he looked at you, you turned away as if you weren't just staring at him before walking away and goes up the stairs.

the yaksha could only huff, he would admit you were really pretty since it was his first time really seeing you "up close".

time skip a BIG time skip because this long af

you were on the crossed out place since you just followed the map katheryne gave you and come to think of it you were now in qingyun peak.

‘ i think this is the destination.. ’ you said to yourself as you look at the map and your right this is the right place and maybe just walk farther away from the tree and you saw a camp of treasure hoarders. the camp is not really the guarded and you can see where the chest is.

you tried to think of plan on how you will invade this or just like " yo, i'm getting the chest " yeah not a good idea.

“ yeah, you know what? ” you said to no one as you summoned your polearm and jump at the camp while the treasure hoarders were startled but they got serious in a second.

they were not that many so you can handle most of them.

you finished them off by just throwing (maybe) fire on them using your polearm. you gracefully land on the ground as you tried to look for the chest.

“ did the chest get burned too...? i hope not please don't be burned ” you prayed and you saw the chest shining there's no damaged on the chest as you cried out and thanked the archons.

“ xiao, i know your there. ” you said firmly standing straight as xiao jumped off the tree. you got pretty close with xiao ever since you unexpected popped up out of nowhere on the top of wangshu inn holding an almond tofu while waiting for him.

xiao still dislike you pretty much. he is still trying to forget about the feeling he would feel when he would see you.

“ not bad for a human ” he said and crossed his near his chest while you were opening the chest and looking for goods and the thing to give for katheryne.

you just shrugged it off and said “ i know i'm pretty much strong ” confidence lacing your voice.

“ you're boosting your own ego too much... ” he blankly said as he disappeared in thin air.

‘ that damn yaksha. ’ you said to yourself angrily as you walk out of the camp and tried to find an easy way to go to liyue.

you had reach your destination, beads of sweat is forming on your forehead but you didn’t mind as you dig through your bag again to give katheryne what she was looking for.

she thanked you before giving a you good amount of mora and some artifacts, you thanked her before going to leave liyue and check out on wangshu inn since you will need to get back to liyue and venti must been missing you so much right now.

you need to leave xiao and you hope you can visit wangshu inn everyday but you can’t to that since it’s far from your homeland. not that far but it will take you hours just to get to wangshu inn you know he will understand it.

xiao was waiting for you to come back, he was in the balcony when he saw your figure walks on the near table and sit on a chair to rest for a bit, xiao teleported to where you were, you were startled as you jumped out off your sit.

“ damn boy don't do that it makes me feel like someone is here to take me to celestia ” you said wiping your mouth with the back of your hand as you close your water bottle.

xiao brushed it off as he look at you straight away as you were taken aback at his sudden staring.

“ what? ” you asked, “ i know your leaving tommorow. ” he said blankly, you didn't denied the question and you nodded “ yep, i am going back to mondstadt again. ” you said and smiled, you saw a glint of sadness on xiao's eyes but you didn't pay it no mind as xiao disappeared into thin air again.

“ every time. ” you said as you grab your bag and walks upstairs to go to your room and pack your stuff so you can just leave and give the key back to verr goldet.

Next day. . . and you were on mondstadt now ( i'm not gettinf lazy but I can't put it more into details so sorry 💔💔 )

“ ah! home sweet home! ” you said happily as you stretched out your arms as you walked in the city of freedom and going into the cathedral.

you were just one step away to see the cathedral and barbatos statue as you saw your lover performing when he saw you on the crowds waving at him as he gave you a smile.

pointing at his back which means that you will be waiting for him infront of the cathedral before walking away.

the bard just finished performing as he bowed on his audience and thank them before running off to see you infront of the cathedral.

“ [name]! ” venti yelp as he run towards you and embrace you. “ i missed you! ” he said hugging you tightly as you just laugh. “ well i'm here now! ” you said and hugging him back.

“ let's go home, i have something to tell you ” you said and step back as venti whined.

you two walk peacefully and arrive at your house.

venti closed the door as you take your shoes out and hang your bag, you take your usual slippers(shoes idk) and you wear it.

“ what do you wanna talk about? " venti asked and sitting on the couch.

“ you know i love you right? ” you asked, sitting next to him.

venti is confused on your question but he nodded, “ yes. why? ” he answered. he was nervous on what you will say next.

“ i met someone in wangshu inn and i think you know him? ” you asked once more. “ hm? who? ” venti asked.

“ his name is xiao, ” you said. “ oh the vigilant yaksha? what's with it? ” venti asked.

“ i know it's wrong for me to say this but i fell in love with him. ” you said embarassed as you look away. “ ah.. so like you wanna confess then date him? ” venti said.

you never look at him so fast when he said that, your eyes widen as a smile was painting your face.

“ yeah.. but your agreeing? ” you asked and looked at him,

he nodded, “ yes, i am. we can go to xiao again to see him. ” he said and stands up going to the kitchen before taking a wine.

“ but first.. wanna drink with me? ” he said and shows you the wine. “ you didn't grab it on angel's share while kaeya is distracting diluc? ” you asked since you never buy wine.

“ ahaha.. why would i?! ” he said and sweats. “ just asking “” you said and walks into the kitchen to join him on drinking it’s been a while since you have a drink.

you both drink peacefully and venti just asking questions how did your journey go and you honestly answering his questions. after a few hours of drinking and venti questioning you, he fell asleep his head on the counter while holding the bottle of wine.

you stands up and go to your shared room to get an extra blanket for venti and put it on him so he wouldn’t get cold and if he woke up he would just come in the room and sleep with you.

Again, timeskip

it’s been 3 days since you left liyue and xiao was still waiting for you to come back even there’s a small possibility that you won’t comeback since you did your job here in liyue.

little did xiao know that you will come back with your lover.

. . . . 

“ venti, your taking way too long what are you even doing? “ you asked as you look at the clock while venti just got out of the room. “ i just packed some stuff! “ he said as he drag his bag out of the room.

“...” you were speechless but you didn’t say anything as you just walk out of the house followed by venti.

“ wait! “ he yelled fixing his bag before running out of the house to catch up with you.

the two of you reached wangshu inn, when the it's about to get dark which means you and venti were lucky to get in wangshu inn safe and don't need to fend off those hilichurls.

“ finally! we're here! ” venti said happily as he drop his bag on the ground before stretching. ,“ and to be honest my back hurts. ” he added as he grab his bag again to follow you.

no one talk when you two were on the elevator ( let's call it elevator since I don't really know what to call it 💀💀 ) it's fine since you both had a comfortable silence sitting with you and venti.

you checked in as you thanked verr goldet again before going to the room verr assigned you both.

“ ooh, two beds! ” the bard said as he drop his bag on the wooden floor and jumps right away on the bed.

you smiled at his enthusiasm while you just sit on the edge of the bed looking out at the window. you were thinking what would be xiao doing right now?

doing his duties? killing demons? you don't really know since the only thing he said to you is that he slay demons and that's all. you never knew so much about him but you know a little bit about him that you assume that he was a friend of yours.

you see him as friend and developed feelings and he sees you as, you don't know maybe he see you as a friend too? your thoughts got cut off by a certain someone snoring, you turned around to see venti snoring and sleeping peacefully while smiling in his sleep.

walking off the room as you can hear venti shuffling on his bed before snoring again. you closed the door and you are on the balcony looking at the sight infront of you.

there are so many stars shining and the moon stands out, it wasn't a full moon but you like to look at moons when you think too much to the point you will have an headache.

you feel a presence in your back but walks to your side and lean on the railings. “ hey, xiao. ” you greet the male not looking at him but you can tell it was xiao.

“ i missed you. ” he straightforwardly said to you as he looks at you and there's butterflies in his stomach when he looks at you.

he always ask himself what is this feeling he would always feel when he's near you or whenever he would see you. he really can't understand what's going on inside of him.

“ wow? is this the xiao i know? “ you said teasingly as you grinned while he just looks away.

you laughed as you hit him on the shoulder “ come on! it's normal to miss a friend. i missed you too! ” you said happily and smiled at him.

his face reddened as his keep looking away. “ friend? is that how you see me? ” he said calming himself before looking at you.

confused at his sudden seriousness as you blink a few time before replying to him. “ hm? what do you mean, xiao? ” you asked.

the way you just say his name just make his heart flutter, he could go crazy.

he rolled his eyes as he just about to walk away when you catch him to hold his wrist. “ can you uh.. maybe stay for awhile here with me? ” you asked sheepishly.

xiao didn't deny your request as he stayed with you on the balcony for awhile. you two have a comfortable between the two of you as you started to talk.

“ hey, i know this is all of the sudden but, i like you. ” you said trying to not be awkward as you look at him.

xiao was taken aback and shocked from the sudden confession. “ don't you already have a lover? ” he asked looking back at you, you nodded as you explain how your lover (venti) agreed.

“ oh? so he really is venti ” he mumbled. “ huh? ” you said confused. “ nothing. it doesn't concern you. ” he said. “ ah.. alright, what's your answer then? ” you asked. “ hm, i guess i like you too. ” he said sheepishly and look away.

you had a smirk on your face as you look at him. “ what? ” he asked as he caught you smirking. “ hmmm? nothinggg just wanna ask if you wanna you know? go a date with me and venti? ” you said and smiled.

xiao rolled his eyes as he nodded. “ I don't have time for those kind of things but i will make this an exception. ” he said and crossed his arms before disappearing and you were left alone.

you yawned as you didn't mind xiao leaving before going back to the room as you saw venti still sleeping peacefully. you walks towards his bed as you kissed him on his forehead before going to your own bed and sleeps.

next day. . .

venti was the first one to wake up as he moves into your bed and cuddle with you and waited for you to wake up.

you stirred awake as you saw venti laying on the same bed with you cuddling and snoring lightly. you smiled at him as you yawned trying not to wake him up.

“ how's your sleep? ” venti asked as he nuzzled on your hair. “ it's good because i dream about you, ” you answered his questions with your cheesy pick up line.

venti just laugh at your answer as he release you on his tight hug and stands up.

“ come on, let's take a quick stroll not far from here! ” venti said joyfully as you sit up on your bed and stretch your limbs up before standing up.

venti was the first one to get out of the room while you were still standing there and looking straight, zoned out.

he peeked his head on the door as he saw you just staring at the literal wall, “ [name], helloo?? ” venti asked as he looks at you, you were always like this when you woke up.

“ yeah, just walk out of the room if you're done having a staring competition on the wall. ” he said, before closing the door and goes to the balcony.

the noise of the door closing snapped you on your zoned out state as you shake your head. “ why am i even looking at the wall ” you asked yourself as you tried to comb your disheveled hair with your fingers.

you walk out of the room and close the door before going into the balcony seeing venti looking at the scenery infront of him, he has this habit just staring at the scenery calms him.

“ so how did the confession go, love? ” venti asked, looking at you. “ well, not bad. he likes me back too. ” you answered and look away whistling. “ i could see by just looking how red you are getting. ” venti teased and laugh.

“ oh yeah! i forgot, i said to xiao that we will be having a date! ” you said and smiled. “ is that so? i should prepare later then, ”

the two of you chattered happily as the time flew by it was now in the afternoon, of course you and venti had breakfast before all of that chattering.

“ i will be waiting in our room, just call me! ” venti said and goes to the room disappearing in your sight as you just sighed and called xiao name out.

you were left alone as you felt a presence behind you again. “ you called? ” xiao bluntly said. “ yes, yes i did. i hope you didn't forget about the date, yes? ” you said and turned around to face him.

xiao scoffed as he answered yes. “ ah, great! i will call venti ” you said and smiled before going out of his sight.

after you called venti, venti started talking to xiao and catching up for awhile, while xiao just listened at his nonstop chattering. hell, he even talk about how sometimes you go with him (venti) and play lyre with him.

“ i'm allergic to cats, by the way. ” venti random said to xiao. “ you're sometimes random.. ” xiao mumbled as he saw you preparing a picnic?

“ guys, i prepared something! ” you yelled and clapped your hands. venti's eyes lit up as he saw the food and drinks laid out.

after that, venti just targeted the drinks and a bit of the food. xiao just lay on a tree as he just listens to what's happening.

“ aAaAaaAaaa, wineee ” venti slurred as he keep chugging a bottle of wine.

“ maybe, it's not a good choice to bring wine.. ” you mumbled, as you regretted taking out two bottles of wine.

“ that's enough venti! ” you said as you tried to take the bottle off his hand.

after hours of trying to take the bottle out of venti's hand you successfully got the bottle of wine in his hand as he whined.

“ i will carry him. ” xiao spoke after hours of him not saying a word. “ huh- are you sure? ” you asked.

xiao nodded as he picks up the bard and put him on his shoulder as if he was a sack of potatoes. you cleaned up everything as xiao waited for you to finish while venti was snoring.

you finished cleaning up as you clean yourself up before standing up and nodded to xiao, to say that you are finished and he can now go walk back to wangshu inn.

. . . . . . . .

it was a pretty long day but atleast you had fun, even it's not a date. atleast it's memorable for you and venti and maybe xiao too.

“ it's getting late, i should sleep now. ” you said to yourself as you look one more time at venti and he was sleeping peacefully, you smiled and quickly laid down on your bed.

closing your eyes as dark engulfed your vision. you hope it will be another good day for you, venti and xiao and maybe xiao won't be as cold as he was that time.

Genshin took over my life and I'm now going to make my hyperfixation of it everyone's problem

Some time ago, I really, REALLY got into Genshin Impact and it has, without a doubt, taken over my life.

Recently, I read two pretty cool fics on Ao3; "Wards of the Wind" by Kiri_Kaitou_Clover and "Just a Boy" by Karmitara, which... both had me cooking.

I have a funky Genshin AU / Story Idea I want to info dump about! I call it "A Thousand Winds in a Windless Land"!

The general gist of it is that during the Cataclysm, Barbatos is sent to kill the Khanri'ahn heir, baby Kaeya, however, Barbatos is unable to bring himself to kill him and hands him over to Dainsleif who escapes into the Abyss while Barbatos distracts the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.

Of course, they (because I stan gender-neutral Venti) lose. Normally, such actions would result in execution, however, the Sustainer is unable to kill Barbatos without consequences that probably involve Istaroth, so instead, she seals Barbatos away, but still tells all the Archons that she killed them to prevent any more rebellious behaviour.

Before they get sealed away, however, Barbatos transfers their powers over to their siblings; the Thousand Winds, putting them on the same power level as the adepti of Liyue, and then Barbatos transfers their soul into a vessel in the form of a wisp similar to the rest of the wisps so that they can keep helping out in Teyvat in secret. After sealing Barbatos away, the Sustainer goes to destroy Mondstadt as part of Barbatos' punishment, but because of the Thousand Winds' power up, they are able to defeat the sustainer and send her and Celestia into a slumber after she'd been weakened by the Cataclysm.

Afterwards, the Wind Wisps essentially became divine protectors of Mondstadt, similar to the Four Winds and Liyue’s adepti. They’re also able to have human forms, identifiable by their white hair and anemo-coloured tips and eyes. They mostly stay in Mondstadt but are also known to live in other nations alongside people they decide to stick to.

I imagine that the inclusion of the wisps and the presence of Barbatos (who calls themself Nye since their identity as Venti has been compromised) changes a lot of things that I'll probably cover in another post lol. But I like to imagine that some of the wisps decided to stick around with anemo users and residents of Mondstadt, as well as people who are just generally fighting for freedom as well as the archons. I also like to imagine that a wisp decides to stick around with Dainsleif, and as for the Traveller? The wisp who follows him around is literally just Nye/Venti lol

I don't really know what the Mondstadt quest will be since I plan for Dvalin to be cured :PP

I am also a sucker for Venti & Tsaritsa shenanigans and like to headcanon that they have a sibling relationship, so I imagine that around half of the animosity she feels towards the other archons is probably Barbatos related. She's mad at Morax because he was the one in charge of making sure that Barbatos would kill Kaeya, she was originally not as disappointed towards Beelzebub and was even a little sympathetic towards her until she decided to take the coward's way out and hide away in her Plane of Euthymia and leave an emotionless puppet to rule her people, but the Tsaritsa probably has nothing really against Buer and Focalors since there was genuinely nothing they could have done since neither of them become archons until after the Cataclysm. I'm not sure what Murata's role should be in all of this yet, but I do know that the Tsaritsa probably also really blames herself for not being able to prevent Barbatos' fate. My brother even suggested that maybe she was the one who was originally supposed to kill Kaeya, but because she refused, the duty was pushed onto Barbatos.

I'll probably info-dump more about this AU later lol

venti for the character ask?

LOL I just sent venti to fitz were on the same wavelength

Favorite thing

he's just go [clenches fist] I'm a sucker for lore heavy characters. my favorite characters tend to be like. the way a kid's favorite doll is probably the one with the most accessories. he gives me a lot to work with and explore in terms of story and personality which makes him very fun for me.

Least favorite

his fanon </3 it's so bad they absolutely massacre him. I feel like people fall for his carefree front way too easily and fail to see any depth beyond the surface.

Favorite Line

Gonna have to pass on this one </3 I'm really bad at remembering specific lines.

brOTP

Zhongven! My favorite 2 old men with something gay going on.

OTP

Diluven <3 They have room for drama and all my aromantic domestic fantasies. Diluc is also another one of my favorite characters so bonus points.

nOTP

Ven*Lisa. I don't understand the appeal of this ship. Just?? Why?? Also the sparse amount of content I've seen for this ship gives me really weird vibes.. Like I think Venti's mortal form is that of an adult, but it seemed to amp up Lisa's marternalness in comparison to him and was just really weird and freudian. not a fan.

headcanon

I think he refuses to drop his mortal form completely because he's afraid of forgetting how to turn back into the nameless bard :^) he hasn't allowed himself to be a windsprite in years.

unpopular opinion

I don't think he's irresponsible or incompetent like many people think. I think he specifically puts up a front of carelessness and weakness so people underestimate him, and at the end of the day he's been shown to intervene when his people need the help.

I also think he's stronger and smarter than people give him credit for. Considering his massive sleeping episodes I do think he does have some vulnerabilities, but when Signora took his gnosis he was freshly awaken. He's displayed huge feats of strength in the past and is partial to trickery, so it makes me think he has some sort of strategy going. He's not Celestia's biggest fan either!

song

Aerials by System of a Down!

fav pic

I'm a big fan of both of these :^]

[squigglywindy]

So, random ramble about me:

I am like...weirdly possessive of my interests. I don't think that's the right word, but it's like this: I don't tell people what I'm in to. Never have.

As a kid, my parents had to fight tooth and nail for me to tell them what I liked. And it was wild, because I've always been the way I am now; I get into something and I just shove that sucker down my throat and let it absolutely consume me from the inside out but I don't tell anybody.

It's like I don't want people to know what I like. People ask what my favorite movie is? 'oh haha it's too hard to choose'. I almost always have an answer, I'm just too afraid to say it. And for what??? No idea. I've literally never been shamed or teased for my interests.

The idea of somebody finding out whatever I'm obsessing over at the time is downright terrifying and I don't know why.

Only recently have I started kind of admitting to obsessing over things, and that's just with some things, and literally just to my sister, and only with stuff she's interested in too.

Even on here I'm only kind of open about stuff because y'all don't actually know me, and I'm reminding myself constantly that my interests are not some secret and it's okay to admit to liking stuff.

I don't know what the point of this ramble is. I guess I'm just asking if any of y'all do this too, or if y'all are normal. Or if any of you brain pickers out there can be like "ah yes that's because of this normal thing and there's actually a lot of people who do this too"

It annoys me. I'm not going to get venty in this but it's like...I wish it were easier for me to be like 'hey look at this thing I enjoy' because I think that might be how you make flesh friends and I think that would be nice.

Anyway, carry on. If you relate to this, you're not alone friend. If you're baffled by this, you're not alone either; I can not figure it out.

#Squiggles rambles #Squiggles rants #I don't know if this counts as a rant #It's just a statement #Cry for help? Maybe #How do I talk to people #I'm not ashamed of what I like I just physically cannot make myself have that conversation with people #If somebody psychoanalyzes this I WILL have an existential crisis so do with that what you will #This is all about like...fandom stuff. I've been in many and never told #Everyone I know knows that I can ramble about medical nonsense for days #So why do I share that? Who knows

[feroluce]

You seem like you might like Genshin Impact idk why I see that

No no you're totally right, I love Genshin Impact. XD

One of my servermates got me into it last summer! I'm probably not going to be a big participant in the fandom the way I am with submas, but I'm having a ton of fun playing it with Hydrachea!

I've just finished the Inazuma Archon quest and I'm about to start Sumeru's. My current main team is Noelle, Venti, Kaeya, and Heizou. Some of my favorite characters though are Venti, Kaeya, Diluc, Al Haitham, Itto, and Shenhe. And I'm a HUGE sucker for venluc, in a weird not-romantic, qpr-ish, frienemies-with-benefits sort of way. Definitely my OTP for the series. ♡♡♡

#it's just like. an extremely good game for aesthetics and vibes #like genshin does some really great environments. the character design is really fun too #and so many characters to fall in love with! #Venti stole my heart so fast he's easily my favorite #and then I saw him pestering Diluc and I was fucking doomed HEKXIJWJDK #unfortunately the game is like EXTREMELY grindy though and I dislike co op because I'm a grouchy old hermit #so instead of building my characters I just keep my world level low so I can enjoy them even without ascension mats dmkxmdmd #ask #answer #anon

Chocolate with nuts (a Genshin Parody) Part 1

* Venti is humming while waiting the mail*

Venti: Hey mailman!

Aether: Hey, the mails here. What you get?

Venti: Let's see. Klee, Klee, Klee, Klee, Klee, Klee. Hey a magazine! That's funny I don't remember subscribing to fancy Inazuma digest.

Aether and Venti: Woah!! 😲😲

Venti: Look at these glossy deceptions of a higher standard of living of these. This guy's so rich he has a beach and a beach.

Aether: This guy's got sandals.

Diluc: Give me that, stealing my mail, eh? You're lucking I don't report you to the authorities.

Venti: Hey, Diluc. How are the people in that magazine get all that money?

Diluc: They're entrepreneurs. They sell banks to people.

Venti: What kind of things.

Diluc: How should I know things people want to buy keep your paws off my mail.

Diluc went back to his house.

Venti: That's it Traveler. We got to become entrepreneurs.

Aether: Is it good?

Venti: Traveler, without thinking if you could have anything in the world, right now what would it be?

Aether: Oh, more time for thinking.

Venti: Something real an item, something you pay for?

Aether: A chocolate bar?

Venti: That's a great idea, Traveler. We'll be travelling chocolate bar salesmen.

meanwhile...

Venti: Fancy living here we come.

Aether: Make way for a couple of all true previews.

Venti: Ok, traveler. this is it first step on our road to live fancy. Just follow my lead.

*Venti super jumps*

*Knocks, knocks, knocks*

Venti: Good afternoon sir could we interest in some chocolate?

Zhongli: Chocolate? Did you say chocolate?

Aether: Yes, sir. With or without nuts?

Zhongli: Chocolate? Chocolate? CHOCOLATE!? CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE!

Aether and Venti ran to another streets.

Venti: Ok, the first guy didn't count this is our real step morning sir, would you like to buy some chocolate?

Childe: Chocolate bars, eh?

Venti: Yes, sir we are chocolate bars salesmen.

Childe: Heh, a couple of mediocre salesmen if you ask me that's no way to carry your merchandise.

*Turned around*

Childe: No, no, no, no wrong you guys want to be good salesmen right.

Aether and Venti: Oh, most certainly sir.

Childe: Well, no self-respecting candy bar salesmen would be caught dead without one of these.

Venti: Wow. What is it?

Childe: It's a candy bar bag, you knucklehead. It's special designed to cradle each candy bar in velvet-lined comfort. But I'm wasting my time you don't need these things.

Venti and Childe: we need them, we need them.

Childe: So long boys. Happy hunting hehehe... suckers.

Venti and Aether: Fancy living here we come. La,la,la,la,la,la.

Venti: Let's try next door.

Childe: Yes?

Venti: Huh? Say weren't you the same guy who sold us these candy bar bags?

Childe: I don't recall, but it looks to me like you fellas have got a lot of bags there. You two lady killers are too smart to be without one of my patented candy bar bag carrying bags.

Aether: We'll take 20.

*Knock, knock*

Amber: Hi, what can I do for my two nice friends?

Venti: We're selling chocolate bars would you like to buy one?

Amber: That sound's heavenly I'll take one.

Venti: One chocolate bar coming right up.

*zip, pop*

Venti: Huh?

*Zip, pop*

Venti tries to open up a chocolate bar while struggling and Amber is waiting patiently. Aether keeps on zipping the bag.

Amber: I don't have time for this.

Venti: One chocolate bar for the nice young...

Zhongli: Chocolate! Chocolate!

Aether and Venti went off to another street while Zhongli goes berserk...

Venti: We're not doing well, Traveler. We need a new approach a tactic.

Aether: Oh, I got it. Let's get naked.

Venti: No, let's save that for when we're selling real estate there must be something what was the reason, we bought those bags?

Aether: He said that we were mediocre.

Venti: That's it he made us feel special.

Aether: Yeah, he did. I'm going back to buy more bags.

Venti: Yeah, why don't we try being nice.

* Aether sighs*

Aether: Okay.

Venti: Traveler, flatter the costumer make it feel good.

Chongyun: Uh, hello?

Aether: I love you.

*Chongyun blushes and close the door. *

Venti: I think you're leaving on a kinky bit there. Oh, let me try.

*ching,ching,ching*

Chongyun: Please go away.

Venti: um, ahem. How are you doing?

Chongyun: How am I doing?

Venti: Want some chocolate?

Aether: Noo.

Chongyun: Sorry, chocolate has sugar and sugar turns to bubbling fat. Isn't that right lover boy?

Aether: Hehehe..That tickles.

Chongyun: As you can see named chocolate no longer hang you can keep that for 5 bucks.

Aether: I take 10.

Venti: We haven't sold one chocolate bar. I have a feeling we're too distracted.

Aether: ?

Venti: Let's make a path right now that we stayed focused on selling at the next house.

Aether: Eh?

Venti: Let's shake on it.

Aether: Did you say something?

Venti: Remember, traveler. Focus.

[limerancy-fics]

Hello♡

I was wondering. With your upcoming xiaoven fics. Do you intend for any of them to be the same length as aikikyb? Or even longer. Because I know I personally am an absolute sucker for large fics! Aha!

And if I may ask! What are you currently working on and what do you plan on doing next! Just keeping up with the loop yk what I'm saying

hello!

there's quite a few that i expect to be pretty long-- exes to lovers is already at ~30k, xiao and the blind forest is planned to be around 10 chaps, the venti pov of aikikyb will likely be as long if not a bit longer (depending, probably around the same length either way), and the roadtrip au seems like it might be longer, but maybe not as long as aikikyb sdbsjkh, black on black will probably be longer, def multichap bc there's a lot there to work thru 💀

rn im actually mainly working on stuff for classes, specifically a chapbook i gotta have printed and bound by the end of term! i want to be working on fics rn n i try as much as i can, but i do have limited energy and time esp w all the dr appts n everything so it might take a bit longer. which also means im just kinda working on everything slowly, whatever i have inspiration for at the time OTL im trying to work on waidty but it is Evading Me....i wanna try n get it finished before i start posting again n im hoping that after this small arc itll be easier bc i have Many Thoughts for the venti angst arc but not a whole lot for the training montage pt 2 😓

#fic question
