autumn leaves, autumn sorrows

(Part 2)

Xiao recognized him before he could even notice his presence.

It was the way the wind picked up, as if carrying the content of seeing their master; it was the way music accompanied him wherever he may go, a tune too subtle for mortal ears, but to Xiao, it was one of his favorite sounds.

“Hey there!” The Lord of the Wind called, waving the hand that wasn’t holding a bottle of wine. Such frivolities he occupied himself with, much like Xiao’s own master. (His master doesn’t view himself as such anymore. He said it himself, he had retired, but Xiao still couldn’t get used to the feeling of freedom, not when there’s still so much work to do and no one to replace him if he were to stop.) “You seem tense.”

“Lord Barbatos" Xiao bowed, respectfully. Once, Venti has said he didn’t need to carry all the formalities, not when it was only them. Xiao, however, argued he at least had to demonstrate his gratefulness for the one who saved his life and granted him power, even though Venti acted as it was nothing.

Which, considering he was a being of unlimited power and knowledge of past, present and future, it probably was.

“Just Venti, aren’t we friends already?” Venti complained, tapping his shoulder. He walked past Xiao and sat on the roots of a large tree, motioning for Xiao to sit in front of him. “We have shared wine and songs, aren’t those the most intimate things you can share with another?” Smiling came easy to Venti, Xiao wished he could smile at him as well.

“My lor—," Xiao bit his tongue. Venti’s smile faltered. Right, he should have gotten used to the idea of friends a few decades ago. “I have come here with a favor to ask.”

Venti opened the wine, though there wasn't any glass for him to pour the content into. He took a sip directly from the bottle.

“What is it I can do for you?” He asked.

“I believe I have lost a very important item on your territory. Though it isn’t that noticeable, and perhaps that is the reason why I failed to perceive its absence before, it is still something I should retrive.”

“What is it? I can help you search for it.”

Before Venti could finish, Xiao was already shaking his head.

“It’s not for others to touch," he tried to state it in the gentlest way possible. “A cloak of feathers, weaved from my fallen wings, made to mold itself on the body of anyone who wears it. A harmless item for me, but who knows what it may cause at the hands of a mortal," Xiao explained, while refusing Venti’s offer of wine. The idea of putting his mouth where the Lord has touched previously was unnerving, but he also didn’t enjoy the taste of alcohol.

“I see." Venti brings a finger to his chin. “How long have you lost it? Do you know where it was last put?”

Something in Xiao hesitated.

“Probably a decade or so. I am to believe it must be near the border, I vaguely remember defeating monsters that day.”

“Then why have you come ask me for my permission when you could have just looked for it on your own?” Venti bursted. His anger was mild, Xiao was used to dealing with this one — the hatred for pleasantries. “You’re free to do whatever you please, Xiao." Venti’s fingers extended themselves in his direction, taking Xiao’s face between them. “The wind will carry you wherever you may go, stars and clouds shall guide your way, the breeze has your back on whatever decision you take.”

It was different when Venti talked seriously. It reminded Xiao from another time, when he was only a young, barely illuminated beast and he saw an Archon for the first time, powerful and wise and mighty. Venti looks every bit of wise right now, save for the wine breath.

“Now go, fetch your cloak, I assume that’s the cause of your nervousness?”

Xiao cannot lie to an Archon, but he can omit some facts. For that reason, he nods, for the declaration was a semi-truth, and vanished with a gust of wind, as rapid as he appeared.

Venti sipped on his wine and wondered if his friend would ever change.

You know I like your writing a lot, could you maybe give some pointers or tips? Like when I try to write it feels so basic and just boring and just an overused trope. I wanna use new words that’ll make my writing pop out more.

Ahh I see! I think I rely on references and wordhippo a lot lol for wordhippo, it's basically a site where you can get the synonyms and antonyms of words which really helps if you want a word that has a better impact

Also references! They help so much omg so I save a lot of fics that I like the writing style of. Whenever I'm struggling with a scene, I look through my saved fics and try to observe the language used to try to imitate it. Whenever you're stuck on a scene or want to improve your writing, maybe reread one of your favorite works and try to understand what you like about it and how to bring the aspects you like over to your own work. It also helps to look through your old favourite fics to see what you like about it and how to carry it on for your next fics.

For smut specifically, I tend to use a lot of repetitive words in my initial drafts so when I am looking through one of my references and see a word or phrase I like, I type it at the bottom of my wip so I can use it later (but you can use this technique for any type of genre)

I think that's the main advice I can think of when it comes to vocabulary and word choice! Hope you keep improving your writing!

#for references omg im telling you ao3 writers are so good at writing #i may just reblog this post with links to fics i like but im not sure if that's a good idea because i personally mainly read ships #OH ACTUALLY I REMEMBER READING SOME GOOD SCARA X READER WORKS ON TUMBLR TOO #but for ao3 i only read ships and most of my ships are rarepairs so idk if you guys would like that haha #but I've talked a lot about Meeting-Promise-Departure before which is a scarabedo fic #gorgeous writing and amazing plot that expands the world of inazuma in its early chapters #there's also this xiaoluc fic i really like (as i said my ships are very odd don't judge me) #OMG THIS KAZUBEDO FIC TOO #ok i need to stop or else the tags would just be filled with ships i like dhdhdjdj #but if you want the links to my favourite fics let me know #ivyanswers

xiaoluc!!!! crossover with frieren and himmel clothes hehe

#xiao fanart #drawing #artwork #genshin impact #genshin fanart #diluc fanart #diluc ragnvindr #xiao #diluc #sousou no frieren

[peablesart]

my favourite bit of canon diluc lore is that families literally line their daughters up at any event so that they can score him for a son-in-law. like as someone who sees him as almost exclusively attracted to men can you imagine the hottest bachelor in mondstadt one day just has a ring on his finger and it belongs to one (or all) of:

a) literally a fatui harbinger who goes anywhere and leaves a trail of bloodied corpses in his wake and the two are always at each other's throats

b) the drunkard that has been harassing him for months now and it totally seems like he is one step from smiting him every time

c) an equally attractive man with such a gentle presence but who just won't shut up about liyue seriously is this all he knows wtf any and all topics lead to liyue

can you imagine the field day kaeya would have just laughing at diluc over the rumours and gossip ???????

also think about the rarepairs..... albeluc, xiaoluc...... kazuluc........ the introversion factor is so high here everyone would just wonder when tf any of them ever interacted

#this isn't to say I'm against diluc x female character btw #i just hc him as mlm primarily #diluven #chiluc #zhongluc #albeluc #xiaoluc #kazuluc #genshin impact #peables-rambles #peables-hc #diluc #diluc ragnvindr

[meili-sheep]

Harem reaction to drunk diluc?

Now I wanna start with how Drunk Diluc is.

If you have been here a minute, you might know that I think Diluc, when he gets drunk, gets really formal. He does a lot of masking normally, and he'd be damn if he ever lets it slip, so he falls into a very formal Mondstadt dialect. But here is the thing while his speech gets more formal, he gets a little more... friendly. He is more willing to chat He is more physically affectionate but, at the same time, more prone to getting upset when he doesn't get his affection.

As he gets more into his drunk night, he gets even more clingy, and really, you just see a lot more of how gentle and sweet Diluc. It is ridiculously adorable. But it's best you not sleep in the same bed because he will cling, and you will not be allowed up until he gets up.

Albedo

So Albedo is probably the responsible one and the one who is really responsible and if we have allergic/intolerant Diluc he always keeps a close watch on Diluc. But you know Diluc does feel a certain obligation to drink at certain parties, and if he knows Albedo there he will definitely try and avoid Albedo to not worry him.

But Albedo is a smart guy so he would totally end up finding Diluc with a glass and instantly know by Diluc's speech what's going on. He'd stick to his side like clue afterward and make sure he gets food and water. He takes all of Diluc's clinginess in stride despite not being used to it. And when Diluc leans on him.

"Isn't that a little uncomfortable?"

"No... you're cool. Imma too warm. You're cool." He just murmurs rubbing his face in Albedo's hair.

"Let's get you somewhere you can relax."

Albedo, of course, let him sober up a bit and make sure he'd all comfortable before making the honorable sacrifice of cuddling in bed for a few days straight. Just to take care of Diluc, of course.

Al Haitham

So this would actually get a chuckle or two out of Al Haitham. A winery owner who gets drunk so quickly. And then the clinginess. Usually, Al Haitham doesn't really like people in his space, but Diluc's honestly like a nice big water bottle. It's not so bad.

He does get a little protective. As he's very aware of how bad people can be, especially when someone kind like Diluc is in such a relaxed state. So as a very good boyfriend, he becomes a little more watchful of over and probably ends up leaving early to take care of Diluc and will not let anyone else Diluc like this.

ABSOLUTELY THIS MAN CALLS IN SICK FOR WORK when diluc refuses to get up and off him. Oooooh nooooo he can't get up.

Kaveh is absolutely pissed that Haitham not only has a beautiful man resting on top of him but that he can skip work because of said, beautiful man.

But at the same time. He can't find fault in it. Which does, in fact. Piss him off more.

Ayato

Now. Ayato. He's a bastard? We clear on that? Ok good. He is someone who would encourage Diluc to drink. Maybe not if he was aware of an allergic/intolerant, but still. He absolutely finds drunk Diluc adorable. And honestly, he wants Diluc to feel comfortable about him. He wants Diluc to just be himself and he gets that when Diluc is drunk.

He likes when Diluc just holds on to him and demands his affection. He likes Diluc just being there. He likes listening to Diluc talk about birds in that funny Mondstadt Accent. But he never pushes it too far because funny enough. Ayato, out of everyone, is probably one of the few most concerned about Diluc's physically healthy. I mean dude lost his family to sickness, so in the back of his head, I'm sure he's always a little worried about illnesses and is the type to take a cold seriously.

Now he is the one of the group who actually still has a responsibility to take care of so staying in bed for a day or more isn't really something he can afford to do. But he would constantly be checking in on Diluc, making sure that he is ok. Probably getting ready to be scolded by Diluc when he does wake up. But Diluc will always get the best care.

Childe

Now Childe is the one who honestly keeps forgetting that Diluc can't drink. And as a Fantasy Russian stereotype, he thinks a little firewater cures a lot of stuff.

So just forgets Diluc can't hold alcohol. And just tends to put it up into things. The next thing Childe knows, Diluc is laughing at stupid jokes he never would, and he's getting really close and touchy. And he's confused for like a full minute but happy until he suddenly remembers. Oh no

OH NO.

So he instantly goes into caretaker mode and tries to sober him up really fast. And while Childe loves Diluc being affectionate like this, he knows Diluc not going to be happy with him when he wakes, do he does his best to damage control and gather up all the affection he can get before he gets put into the dog house.

I do want to say he is better when he and Diluc are at parties, and he will take any drink Diluc feels pressured to have. It's just like the daily little things he forgets about.

Eula

Eula breaks things.

How can I say this? She already thinks Diluc is adorable. Especially in why he doesn't seem to know how to express his affection. She is constantly taken down by how adorable this serious and scary-looking man is.

So Diluc starting to smile more and holds onto her arm. And looking like he's going to cry when she has to go.

Eula just can't handle it. She breaks anything in her hand. Probably punches all at one point. And defiantly gets him home the moment someone gets close to him.

Itto

Ok, so he would totally be clueless. But absolutely happy that Diluc is being so sweet.

It would probably be Kuki that notices something is off. And probably ends up subtly implying to itto that He should take Diluc home and that Diluc might not be feeling well. Which would send itto off in the other direction getting him a little worried and overprotective.

And it would frustrate Diluc because he couldn't just be clingy and get his affection.

"You really should get some rest!"

"No! I just. Itto!"

"It's important you not well!"

"Damnit, Itto! I'm just a little drunk. I ... I just wanna be close for a bit."

"... Oh."

Of course, Itto becomes the biggest cuddles buddy which makes Diluc the happiest.

Kaveh

OK so. Lightweight supremacy. Seriously they both would get drunk so easily. And they would become that overly affectionate together. Absolutely mushy and romancy when they are drunk together. And it be totally disgusting. They would be all over each other.

And I can't help but think that Kaveh's ego would inflate MAJORLY. I mean, heck, he had Diluc Ragnvindr on his arm. I think it would be very hard for anyone to keep their ego under control.

So he's writing notes all over the message boards about how great his Diluc is.

And the next morning, when he's sobered up He probably has to have Al Haitham help him to get Diluc off of him. And it really just breaks Kaveh's heart. But he's gotta work. He would also be pretty worried seeing Diluc sleep so much so. Checking in a lot more and getting Al Haitham to check in or someone.

Thoma

Ah, yes, the male wife. He probably is like Albedo and really does his best to make sure Diluc doesn't drink. But he knows that there is a social situation where there is pressure too. So he always has a place ready for Diluc when he comes home.

Warm tea, blankets and cuddles, and even medicine if he needs it. Definitely is probably one of the few who tries to get Diluc put at a reasonable hour but fails. And then gets trapped by Diluc.

So still a good ending.

Xiao

So Xiao is the king of over protection club. So seeing Diluc inebriated would put that protective instinct into overdrive, and every bad thing that could happen to Diluc would cross his mind, and he would not have any of it.

So he pull Diluc out of that situation. But then

He's stuck with this bubbly and clingy version of his boyfriend. And He's already not great with physical affection, but Diluc gets so sad now when he pulls away. He just really has no clue what to do but accept it. Definitely does take Diluc back to the in and ask for their help. They do recognize that Diluc is drunk and help Xiao with ready food, water, and a bed, but Diluc really just wants to stay with Xiao.

"It's cold. You should go in."

"It's nice, And I wanna stay out with you."

"You're very stubborn when you're like this."

"Sorry."

"No... It's fine."

Zhongli

This is one of the few cases where Zhongli shuts the fuck up and lets Diluc just ramble on and on. As Diluc does get more talky when drunk. So Zhongli is very content to listen to Diluc as he rambles and talks while holding onto Zhongli's arm.

It's so sweet to him, but definitely makes sure Diluc drinks plenty of water.

"Come on dear. I think it is time we got you home?"

"Huh? Already?"

"Yes. You'll need some water and rest."

"Oh. Ok. If you say so."

Hey, wouldn't it be funny if we share our favorite genshin ships? I'll start

Xiaoven, Eulamber, beiguang, ganqing, scaramona, Kaebedo, EiMiko, Jeanlisa, Kokorou, Ayamiya, Kokosara

Chiluc, xiaoluc, thomaluc, Zhongluc, Diluven..... [Separately]

Okay so I might just have a bias towards Diluc ships-

Also yes, I have more favorite ships, but they take over my brain much less. It was a struggle to find half of these within my brain as is-

⚠if you even attempt to start a shipping war, I will block you. These are my personal opinions, and I don't ship these according to canon interactions. As long as the characters are age appropriate, legal to ship, and it seems they would have good chemistry, there is no reason to begin discourse⚠

#xiaoven #chiluc #eulamber #kokosara #kokorou #ayamiya #kaebedo #jeanlisa #beigguang #scaramona #ganqing #eimiko #genshin impact #only a handful of genshin ships make me uncomfortable #*barks agressively at childe* #xiaoluc #thomaluc #zhongluc #diluven

*continues to ship Diluc with characters he has not and likely will never have canon interactions with*

autumn leaves, autumn sorrows

(Part 1)

Once, there was a bird. It perched on the balcony of his bedroom and watched over him all night, its glowing, yellow eyes piercing through the darkness much warmer than any human eye ever glanced at him.

Every night, the same dark bird. Bathed in starlight just as any creature that belonged in the wild, bright and free, fierce and strong like he wished to be one day.

Young Diluc was enamored by it, by the way its feathers shone and its beak opened just the slightest as if to mimic the way one would mouth some words. He wondered what kind of words that bird would say, or sing, or chirp. He wished to get up and join it on the balcony, bask in the moonlight and caress its soft fluff.

One night, Diluc waited outside of his room, sat outside with the pale glow of a candle by his side. For all he waited, the bird had not come that day, so Diluc fell asleep, unaware of how the cold embraced his small body and almost made him sick.

A cloak of feathers dawned upon him, but the child was too deep in the land of dreams to notice, and, when he awoke, only the feeling of gentle warmth remained.

The following days, the child tried to wait on the bird, but it never again came to visit him.

As a result, Diluc went back to his usual routine, sleeping on his bed at a reasonable hour instead of staying awake to get a glimpse of an animal which, according to his own memory, started to as nothing more than a child’s dream.

However, sometimes he’d still feel the soft touch of feathers, as if a warm, big cloak was embracing him at times when the weather is too cold or his worries cloud his mind, impeding his rest. Diluc doesn’t think much of it, and soon, just as every good thing on his life, one day the sensation faded, never to be felt again.
