hi! can I request genshin men realizing that their s/o isn't eating (or either being fed by their boss or whatever), and losing their initial cheerfulness bcs of it? thank you in advance!

'WHY AREN'T YOU EATING?'

— genshin men being concerned when they find out you haven't been eating

pairing. genshin men x gn!reader (seperate)

cw. comfort, words of admiration, pet names, mentions of fat shaming/not eating, overthinking

note. you are all perfect the way you are ! don't let anyone tell you otherwise <3

You sat there, picking at your food. You and your boyfriend were out at dinner, his idea. Since the two of you couldn't spend much time together due to the duties he had to fulfill. You were glad that he took you out, but brought to guilt once you realized he was taking you out to a restaurant. You continued to pick at your food, which he had noticed, giving you a curious eye.

"[name]? Is there something on your mind..?"

You looked up, meeting his gaze. "Mhm, just a bit stressed lately.."

You shifted in your seat as he continued to look at you. He has set down his silverware, neglecting this dinner as he pulled his attention to you. "Is there a reason why?"

"Work. My boss. They said.. some things."

"Mm. What 'things'?"

He knew your work field. You worked hard for your job, an admirable person to say the least. He had never expected you to be too stressed by how well you dealt with changes.

He picked up the fact that you were uncomfortable. He let out a small sigh, "What did they say, [name]."

"They made fun of how I looked, following my weight.. saying that I shouldn't eat as much as I am now." You felt sick to your stomach remembering their exact words. Insulting you, and you couldn't stop it. You didn't want to get fired.

You picked at your nails. He looked at you, his eyes softening at your state. He reached his arm out, grabbing your hand.

"You're perfect the way you are, [name]. I didn't fall in love with your looks, I fell in love with your personality. And it hurts to see you stressed over someone's words."

"Eat as much as you like. Don't listen to other's unneeded words."

You smile, he has always made you feel better mentally. You give him a nod. "Alright, thank you."

"Of course, my love. Now eat, it's your favorite."

He would deal with your boss sooner or later, but at this moment, he wanted to be there for you.

It was a movie night, one that you have every Saturday night. Your boyfriend has made some popcorn and sat down with you as you both picked a movie. Throughout the movie, he noticed that you hadn't eaten any of the snacks that were currently displayed on the coffee table in front of the two of you.

He wouldn't think anything odd about this, but it also seemed like you weren't present, mentally. You looked spaced out. He reached for the remote, pausing the movie.

"[name], something on your mind?"

You spanned out of your thoughts, shifting into a more comfortable position, and looking at him swiftly before looking back at the television. "Yeah, I'm fine."

He sighed, "Don't lie to me, something is bothering you. Is it the movie?"

"No, no. It's just.."

He looked at you, setting the popcorn down on the table as he moved his body in your direction. "Did someone do something to you, I'll get rid of them."

"Babe. I'm just overthinking, it happens all the time, let's just watch the movie."

"I'm not unpausing it until you tell me what's going on. You can talk to me."

You took a swallow, "My friends, y'know. The ones that I hung out with last weekend."

He crossed his arms. So it was your friends? He didn't seem to like them very much. They seemed rude and fake, and maybe he was right.

"They made fun of me about how I looked, my weight exactly. They told me how it was practically impossible that I'd be dating you without bribing you with money." He was shocked, to say the least. How could they say such a thing?

"Listen hear, don't listen to what they have to say. I love you. Looks aside. You're a wonderful person and you make me happy. If they don't know a great person when they see one, stop being friends with them." His hands met yours, holding them softly.

"Thank you." You looked down, smiling. "Can we continue to watch the movie?"

"Of course." He had unpaused the movie. Pulling you closer to him as the two of you proceeded to eat the snacks.

And for your friends, they'd be dealt with.

SOMETHING BAD GOING ON LATELY

Characters: Zhongli, Diluc. Genre: angst, comfort. Your boyfriend realises over time you're in a bad mental space and comforts you after you open up. Modern AU. Tw: self harm, not graphic mention of injuries and self harm scars, depression episodes. A/N: English is not my first language. A bit rambly and incoherent, I'm afraid-

ZHONGLI ִ ֗- - - - - - - - ꔫ - - - - - - - - ִ ۫

You hadn't really been feeling yourself lately. Things happened around you as if they were filtered by a distorted glass. Words had a static sound behind them, and even silence felt somehow too heavy.

You laid still most of the time, waiting for the time to pass by, one, two, five hours and counting. Without the soft humming of your partner the air on the appartment felt constricting. The couch wasn't even that comfortable, but you didn't have the energy to get up.

it took some time for the ex-archon to pick up on your behaviour, all in all, as an inmortal being, he was used to stillness. Plus, it definetly didn't help that you weren't normally very energetic either.

"Honey, are you feeling fine?"

That had been a particularly difficult day as you were forced out of your home by your friends. They laughed and joked and you felt so, so out of place through the entire time. You couldn't help but feel inadequate. You weren't as funny as them, or as pretty, or smart or kind. You just couldn't figure out how to reach to them, and in your poor state of mind, everything you could think about was how little you gave to them.

"Yes, just kind of tired, don't worry." You lied, slowly getting up and heading to the kitchen for a glass of water.

"Are you sure, you have been a bit down lately." He trailed behind you but his words seemed to vanish on thin air, or maybe be swallowed by too-thick air.

You couldn't be bothered to respond, why would you? Things changed around you, you could do nothing. Words were spoken, but life just continued after all, long and miserable. And you, you were just watching from the sidelines.

"Do you want to go somewhere? Or maybe just order takeout and watch something." Your boyfriend was getting anxious, he knew nothing about human beings.

Maybe you were sick.

"I'm fine. I'll go to bed early though so don't bother." You talked drily, where were the endearing nicknames or the shy smiles? Zhongli couldn't help but wonder.

You went to bed early without saying goodnight and were still fast asleep when he got up for work. Well, actually, you had prentended to be sleeping, feeling the sweet goodnight kiss on your temple and the squeeze on your hand when he left.

You felt like a terrible partner, avoiding your significant other. In truth, you were scared, what if he dind't seem real? What if he suddenly had the realisation that you were nothing but a bystander in everyone's life?

That night, the scene repeated, but instead of confronting you, Zhongli simply asked in a gentle manner "Can I hug you, my dear?"

That caught you by surprise and you absentmidedly nodded, still convinced that he wouldn't dare to touch you. But he did, wrapping you in big, warm arms and securing you to his chest, the fabric of his expensive suit rubbing against your cheek.

In that precise moment, time froze, the glass cage that had been keeping you isolated for weeks shattering. The thrumming of his heart against your ear, clearer than any sound you'd heard as of lately. His hands on your back felt so real, so genuine. You dind't even noticed that you were talking, softly wispering as he rubbed your back in circular motions.

"You're real."

DILUC ִ ֗ - - - - - - - - ꔫ - - - - - - - - ִ ۫

That was one of the only times when you could actually feel like yourself. When the pressure on your chest was lifted and the stream of tears clouded that little skeptical voice inside your mind.

"Are you even real?"

"Do you exists if no one looks at you?"

"Everything would be fine if you were gone."

The steady pulse hammering your head as the heavy droplets of crimson slide across your marred skin somehow gave you peace. And you felt horrible for it. Horrible for relapsing and falling again for old vices. Horrible for lying to your boyfriend. Horrible because everything was fine, yet you still felt distant from it all.

The tender scars across your arms itched as you tugged on your long sleeves, always paranoid that they would to slip down, just enough to reveal a trail of swollen skin and distorted lines. The anxiety making you space out from whatever your boyfriend was talking at that moment. Truthfully, you had no energy left to hear some story about drunkards or the mysterious Dark Night.

" - and of course, Charles just had to do it, you know?" Diluc, immersed in his monologue as he was, had unconsciously approached you, a shoulder brushing against you own.

You made an uncomfortable noise when he pulled you closer but aside from a hurt look, he let it slide and proceed to ask about your day. Pretty uneventful, you still managed to pull a believable performance sprinkling some exaggerations and white lies into your tale.

From that day on the exchange repeated a handful of times and finally you felt something change in the air between you two. Diluc became careful when approaching you, choosing to keep his distance, and colder, quite literally. You had grown, over the time you both had been together, accustomed to the heat that he naturally radiated due to his vision but now, with your body hidden under layers and layers of protective fabric, the temperature was unbearable. That coldness had seeped into the atmosphere at your home. With Diluc unable to use his love language in fear that it would make you uncomfortable, the tension built up.

"Did I do anything?" That was the last thing you were expecting that day.

You had slipped into bed quickly after a small dinner and Diluc had promptly followed you to the master bedroom, sitting out of arm reach at the edge of the mattress.

"No!" You voice came louder than you had expected it. "No" You repeated yourself quietly.

"Then why this? Did someone do something to you?" He finally looked at you, deeply into your eyes with a scared expression.

"No, it's got nothing to do with you or anybody else. It's just... too hot."

He smiled awkwardly and tried to joke it off "Am I really that hot that you can't stand being around me?"

But you didn't laugh and his serious face and deep frown reappeared. "Maybe if you didn't wear so many layers -"

"No"

"Why?"

And then it happened, it never occurred to you he would ask why. Why? And then you told him. The words pouring out of your mouth without any cohesion or structure. You told him about that part of yourself, the one that didn’t let you live in peace. You told him about that not feeling real that you carried around, about the cuts and how you didn't know how to stop, how to make the urge go away. You rambled until your throat felt sore and your head began pulsating with the familiar thrumming of an imminent headache.

"I know you are not fine, " he paused and moved closer to you "and I doubt there's anything really I can do. But I want - no - I need to help you. I can't stand to see you in pain, I love you too much and you love yourself too little. So please, tell me, what can I do?" His face pleading for something, anything.

Deep red eyes searched for yours before you hesitantly asked, "Can I hold your hand?"

okay so y'all seemed to like the whole 'zhongli tracking your cycle by scent' idea...

and if i'm going into more detail, i'm doing it RIGHT okay? 💅🏼

.ೃ࿔･ PAIRING → zhongli x f!reader

.ೃ࿔･ NOTES → this is the first of a 3-part...thing? mostly hcs, but there will definitely be (at the very least) a drabble or two in subsequent installments. if you're not familiar with the 4 phases of the human female cycle, google it. i'm not here to give biology lessons.

.ೃ࿔･ WARNINGS → mostly sfw (some nsfw at the end, clearly indicated so you can stop reading if you only want the sfw material). period sex (mention).

.ೃ࿔･ PHASE 2 →

♡ (end of) PHASE 4 - PHASE 1 ↴ (or, right before you start and during your period)

♡ zhongli knows when you’re about to start your period bc your scent changes

♡ your scent takes on a more earthy tone

♡ this is one of the times zhongli is the most sensitive to your needs

♡ makes sure you’re taking good care of yourself and/or takes care of you for you

♡ only if you let him though; he’ll never force anything on you, even his love

♡ he’s the most attentive boyfriend/husband, honey please

♡ he does various things to ease your discomfort - be it physical or emotional

♡ he’s extremely observant and he can read you like a book so he can usually anticipate your needs and does these things without you having to ask

♡ fetches your heating pad and turns it on for you before laying it across your lower belly when you’re cramping

♡ makes sure you’re drinking plenty of water and getting lots of rest

♡ knows when you need him close to you, but also knows when to give you space

♡ but if you reach for him, understand that he’ll be by your side without question

♡ requested a custom herbal tea blend just for you from bubu pharmacy; he picks it up from there after it’s been ground and mixed and keeps it on hand, so if you get headaches or cramps, he’ll brew some for you

♡ yes, he does his research

♡ encourages you to go to bed early/take naps

♡ pulls the shades, closes the curtains, and turns the lights off; lights a scented candle, turns the bed down or makes sure the couch is super comfy with blankets and lots of pillows

♡ or he draws you a hot bath to soak in to ease your aching back and hips

♡ will either join you or not, whichever you prefer

♡ won’t be offended in the least if you would rather be alone; he’ll just go catch up on the book he’s reading or write some poetry; might go for a stroll but he’ll generally stay home with you as much as possible; he wants to stay close by in case you need him for anything

♡ because sometimes you do want your space, but knowing he’s not too far away fills your heart with so much love and sets your mind at ease

♡ the times he does take a bath with you, he carefully, sensually lathers you up with body wash from neck to toe

♡ he takes his time; doesn’t get in a hurry

♡ there’s nowhere else he’d rather be than with his goddess, nothing else he’d rather be doing than taking care of you and making sure you know that you’re loved and cherished

♡ he gently massages your scalp as he works shampoo into your hair and rinses it thoroughly when he’s done

♡ nothing sexual about it

♡ just an attentive male looking after and caring for his mate when she’s most vulnerable and sensitive

♡ you’re so well cared for it almost makes you cry bc of how good he is to you

♡ he just chalks it up to you being more emotionally sensitive than usual (which might have something to do with it, but you make sure he knows how much you appreciate him nonetheless)

♡ but he thinks nothing of it; as far as he’s concerned it’s just common sense and part of what it means to be a good mate; this is how a man/dragon should treat his lady, how a god should regard and care for his goddess

♡ there’s something so soothing about the whisper of turning pages as he reads in bed next to you, or the subtle sounds coming from the kitchen as he makes your favorite tea or food (although I kinda hc he can’t cook for shit //js)

♡ falling asleep with your head on his bare chest; his tender, golden fingers smoothing your hair away from your face as he tells you one of his stories in his silken baritone voice

♡ the timbre and measured cadence of his tone lulls you to sleep as he holds your naked body next to his, skin to skin

.ೃ࿔･ NSFW .ೃ࿔･

♡ okay let’s talk about PERIOD SEX

♡ it’s relatively common knowledge that a lot of females get horny while they’re on their cycle

♡ zhongli knows this

♡ he also knows that giving you an orgasm can help ease the pain of cramps

♡ will 65461% make sure you know the offer to put his dick in your pussy and your legs in the air is on the table and he’s more than happy to help you in that regard should you choose to take him up on it

♡ his sex drive is returning to baseline (which is still pretty high ngl, but he’s not feral and borderline foaming at the mouth like he was during the week or 2 prior (we’ll get to that in the next part))

♡ but you still smell so, so good to him

♡ and if you want it?

♡ mans will not bat an eye at the sight of your menses on his dick

♡ doesn’t bother him one bit; he doesn’t think it’s ‘gross’ or ‘dirty’ (hello? he fought in the archon war…he’s seen much worse, bb, trust)

♡ he regards it as perfectly natural, inherently feminine

♡ allow me to reiterate: zhongli LOOOOVES the way you smell, especially the couple of days prior and the first couple of days after you start

♡ so just give him the word and he’ll go fetch a towel and either make slow, sensual love to you or put you on your shoulders and fuck the daylights out of you, whichever you prefer

♡ however you need him, he’ll be there for you, to take care of you bc you are his goddess

.ೃ࿔･ zhongli m.list

.ೃ࿔･ reblogs and interactions are always appreciated, my loves !!

Not Enough [Zhongli & Diluc]

Wow, where do I even start? I wanted to write in September but I drowned in uni work lmao. Y'all want a secret? I really don't like uni ARG. I'm finishing my semester then I'll be working full time as a barista, so I'll be able to focus on stuff that I truly love! If you've sent me stuff in my inbox, I'm slowly working on clearing it, I'm so sorry ;;;;

If you wish to commission me or support me, here's my KoFi! (I take both art and fanfic commissions!)

Warning: Established relationship with both, mention of injuries, angst to comfort

Part 1 [Xiao & Venti]

Part 2 [Kazuha & Albedo]

Zhongli

When Lumine arrived in Liyue, you felt so small compared to her. She did not have a vision, but somehow, she was still able to wield geo power. How cool was that? Well, you first thought it was amazing! But quickly, you realized how small you felt, by her side. What could a simple, visionless adventurer like you do to catch the eyes of the people around you. Even your friends were starting to forget about you. Before, they would always ask you about your commissions and adventures but now… They were only talking about the blonde traveler.

-Y/N! We’re going to be late if you don’t hurry!; one of your friends said, taking you by the arm. This brought you back to earth.

You blinked a few times and shook your head quickly to chase all those thoughts. Then, you gently freed your arm from your friend’s arm before saying:

-I’m sorry, I can’t come today I-

-Oh right, another said. You’ve got some commissions or training to do huh? Again?

-Well, yes! I still need to imp-

-To improve, bla bla bla, we know Y/N. But don’t you think you’re losing your time?

-I… I’m sorry? ; you asked, taken aback by their words.

-Well yeah- You keep trying, but we all know that you will always be a burden to Lumine. So we think you’re just wasting your time.

-Hey! We said we wouldn’t tell them about it! Anyway, the first said with a sigh, we should go or we’re really going to be late.

Their words were still echoing in your ears, and you were too numb to react as they walked away. Yet, without realizing it, you made your way to the guild for your daily work.

Two days had almost passed since this incident. Zhongli hadn’t heard from you since and worry was starting to grow in his stomach. Yet, he sipped his tea to calm himself down, his gaze looking over the harbour. Maybe you were just late for the date you two had settled? It wouldn’t be the first it happened… He knew that you had the tendency to overwork yourself after all. As he was lost in his thoughts, familiar figures walked by. Weren’t those your friends? Well, he got up to ask them if they knew about your whereabouts.

-Excuse me, have you seen Y/N by any chance? We were supposed to meet an hour ago, but they have yet to arrive.

-We know that they left on a commission this Wednesday, but that’s all. We don’t know where or what the commission was. ; the first said.

-And to be honest Mister Zhongli, our last conversation with them didn’t end quite well because of someone! ; claimed the second, glaring at their friend.

But their bickering quickly came to an end as they felt Zhongli cold eyes on them. It almost felt as if he was crushing them with his golden irises.

-If anything happened to Y/N, I’ll make sure you t-

-Zhongli! ; a new voice shouted.

The ex geo-archon already knew that Lumine was worried, he was able to hear it in her voice. When he turned around, his doubts were confirmed as he saw Lumine’s and Paimon’s faces. They both seemed worried and panicked.

-What’s wrong? ; he asked.

-It’s about Y/N! Katheryne said they haven’t come back yet, so they gave me the commission details. We should go check on them, now.

Zhongli simply nodded, as he felt a lump in his throat, preventing him from talking. But before he ran away with the Traveler, he shot one last glare at your “friends”, who wanted nothing but to disappear at this moment.

You had been in a half-conscious state for the last day. You had fought treasure hoarders before, but this time, they were a lot. They easily outnumbered you and without the help of a vision, potioneers only had to throw one bottle at you to knock you out. You couldn’t see them properly, everything was blurry and you couldn’t move from the dizziness. But you were still able to hear their muffled voices.

-They don’t seem to have anything valuable on them… They don’t even have a vision.

-Their weapon is quite old too. We’ll be lucky if we even get 200 Mora selling it.

-What should we do with them? Leave them here?

-We’ll let the boss decide…

Then, they all started screaming and you heard weapons clashing. Fear washed over you; “I’m going to die” was all you could think, as you succumbed to the darkness.

-Don’t worry my dears, they will wake up anytime soon, a voice said. They’ll need to rest for a while, but they’re not fatally hurt.

Was it Madame Ping’s voice?

-Thank you, Madame Ping, a new voice said. Was it Zhongli?

As if on cue, you slowly opened your eyes, only to screw them shut again as the light made your headache worse.

-Y/N!!

That was both Zhongli’s and Lumine’s voice. They seemed… Relieved? But even as they seemed relieved to see you awake, tears managed to escape your eyes.

-Y/N? My love, what’s wrong? Are you hurt? , your lover asked.

-N-No… It’s just, you started. It’s just… I’m sorry for being a burden.

As the last words left your lips, you started sobbing uncontrollably. You thought Zhongli and Lumine were going to be mad at you; you thought that you didn’t deserve to cry because of how weak you were. But Zhongli gently wrapped his arms around your body and drew you closer. You managed to open your eyes, to see Lumine kindly smiling at you.

-Please, don’t say that, she said. I’m glad to have you as a partner!

-Y/N, my love, Zhongli then said. You’re not a burden. It hurt to see you thinking this of yourself. But you’re not a burden. I love you, and I don’t know what I’d be without your help. Thank you for being here, my love.

Diluc

-Can I come with you tonight? , you asked Diluc, your husband, as he was getting ready to leave the manor for the day.

-I’m sorry love, but I don’t think it’s a good idea, he said while he finished tying his ponytail.

Even if you understood what his duties as the Darknight Hero were quite dangerous, you wished you could accompany him. At least just for one mission, just to see how it was and to feel helpful to him. Yet, you simply nodded and said a quiet “it’s okay, I understand”. Diluc looked at you with a small smile and kissed you on the cheek quickly before leaving. And once again, you were alone in the cold manor.

When you woke up the next morning, the other side of the bed was still untouched. Well, Diluc didn’t come back last night you thought to yourself with a bitter taste in your mouth. He’d probably come back later today. So you went about your day in the empty manor. Sure, there were some maids and butlers here and there, you they were all busy working and cleaning.

And this gave you an idea. Maybe you could clean Diluc’s office while he was gone, no? He had been complaining about the mess and papers slowly gathering on his wooden desk. Yet, he didn’t let anyone but you in his office, because he didn’t want them to mess with his papers. But you… You knew which documents were important and were to put them. Surely your husband wouldn’t mind! So you made your way to the office, a small smile on your lips.

Hours had passed and the Sun was already starting to set. You looked around the office with a satisfied smile on your face. The window was opened, and fresh air made its way in the room that is usually sealed. The desk, which was previously covered under piles of documents and dust was now visible and cleaned. The papers had been put in a chest that Diluc used to store them. Only a document, on which he was working on, remained on the wooden surface.

-Y/N? , his voice called from the front door. I’m back.

-I’m in your office! , you answered.

You heard his footsteps making their way to the room where you stood. Diluc finally appeared and you exclaimed “Tadaaa!” as he took a look around.

-So? What do you think? It’ll be easier to work now that your desk is cleared, no? , you said with a proud smile on your face.

-Well, I can’t say the opposite, he laughed a bit. He truly looked happy as he walked to his desks. There, he frowned as he saw the two documents sitting on his desk.

-Hey Y/N, where’s the document on the current situation?

-Oh, it’s probably in the chest, you said as you opened it. They’re all in alphabetical order!

Diluc crouched down to look at all the documents. A worried look started to appear on his face and worry started to grow in your stomach as his expression changed.

-Diluc? , you asked quietly.

-It’s not there, Y/N.

-What? But if it’s not on the desk, it should be there!

-Did you throw it away? , he asked with an accusing tone.

-No! I didn’t throw anything!

Diluc sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose; he was clearly annoyed.

-I want you to find it now. Aether and I found something and I need the document now to confirm it’s linked to our case. Archons, you shouldn’t have touched anything, I’m losing my time with you.

As the words left his mouth, he turned around. He was ready to leave to continue his mission, ignoring your pained emotion and tears building in your eyes.

-Diluc! , Aether called as he saw his “co-worker” arriving to their meeting point.

-I’m done with the case’s document. I’ve noted everything we found today, the blond said.

Hearing this and seeing the document that Aether was holding in his hands, Diluc froze in place. He didn’t move, which worried Aether.

-Diluc? Is everything ok? , he asked.

Diluc shook his head as he took the papers that were handed to him with a shaking hand. He swallowed the painful lump that was blocking his throat before speaking:

-I just got in an argument with Y/N. I… I thought they had thrown the document away.

The red haired pushed the document back in Aether’s hands before running away. Aether didn’t say anything, he knew that Diluc was feeling horrible.

-Y/N? I-I’m home, he called as he opened the door of your shared bedroom.

But the whole room was dark, and you were nowhere to be found. He had looked all over the manor already and he was unable to find you. Where were you?? As panic started to take control of Diluc’s brain, he noticed movement outside. There, sitting at one of the tables of the winery. He quickly grabbed a blanket and made his way outside.

-You’ll get sick if you stay out in the cold dear, he said has he gently put the blanket on your shoulders.

-So what? , you asked. You didn’t notice it, but you drew the blanket closer to get some warmth. Wouldn’t it be easier for you if I were sick? Or even gone? So that you wouldn’t lose your time with me anymore

-Y/N, please… Don’t say that. I don’t want you gone, I don’t want you sick. What I said was a mistake. A terrible mistake, I… I’m sorry my love.

Tears started to roll down your cheeks and a quiet sob left your lips.

-I’m sorry Diluc, I’m sorry… I’m sorry I’m not enough for you.

-Sshh, love, you’re more than enough. I understand if you’re mad at me, you have every right but… I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry that I lost my temper earlier. I love you, and I can’t imagine my life with you.

-You promise?

-I promise… But now let’s get you inside, or you’ll get sick, he said before carrying you bridal style.

“But I crumble completely when you cry”

Oh how his heart would shatter the moment he sees tears stream down your face. To know his previous attempts at comforting you didn’t help much. He’d always try to solve any problem you have before you’d be super stressed out by it, so to see you simply start crying, he’d be a bit lost for words at first. However even if he is, he doesn’t waste a second in holding you in his arms, petting your hair as you cry into his shirt. Slender fingers running through your hair as he presses his lips to your head, “Shh it’s okay it’s okay” He may not know the right words to say at the moment but he does know that he can stay by your side until you’re okay, reassuring you that everything will be okay. Soft whispers of, “I’m right here my love, let it all out it’s okay.” His words are quiet, just audible enough over your broken sobs. To see the person he loves the most like this is devastating and he will do everything he can to comfort you and make you feel better. You’ll fall asleep in his arms after crying and wake up the same. Wrapped tightly in his arms, his hand motionless in your hair since he also fell asleep. You decide to indulge in his comforting warmth more, positioning your head so that you can hear his heartbeat. Relax to it’s rhythm until he wakes up. He’d check on you as soon as his eyes open, relaxing upon seeing your smile. He’d stick near to you for the rest of the day, cooking for you, reading you a story, doing whatever makes you happy <3

Billie Eillish- Everything I wanted (Childe)

“As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you.”

Everything was simply so stressful the past days. It didn’t help the fact that everyone seemed to either get on your nerves or said something that simply drained your social battery. You’d come home drained, and head straight to your bedroom. The familiar warmth of your bed wasn’t enough to drain all the stress away and you’d be holding back tears. Childe noticed your saddened self and followed you to the bedroom. He’d slide under the blankets and pull you close, brushing your hair aside with one hand. “Hey what’s wrong?” His eyes filled with worry as his thumb lightly caresses your cheek. Your mouth opens to answer him but instead no words come out. The recollection of the past few days finally getting to you and you bury your head into his chest. He doesn’t question further, silently understanding as he pulls you closer. His chin rests on your head and his other hand lightly traces up and down your back. “It’s okay, just hold me tight and let it all out, I’m not going anywhere.” He’s pulling you as close as the two of you can be, just hoping that his presence and his warmth can bring you comfort. “I’ll always protect you and keep you safe” He’s not even sure of what exactly is bothering you, simply pouring his feelings out to you to help you calm down. When you eventually do, he doesn’t let go, keeping you close until you absolutely convince him you’re better. A playful smile returning to his face when he sees yours, spending the rest of the day together <3

Yot Club- YKWIM (Diluc)

“Seems like I care too much”

Diluc notices your selfless actions. The way you give so much to others and he also notices the way they don’t seem to reciprocate the same care and kindness that you give. Also notices how it eventually starts to stress you out. However he’d try his very best to not let it get worse. He already puts you first, and gives you nothing but the best but he’ll find ways to give back more. Just to show you how much he cares for you. Letting you sit with him while he works or taking you out for a midnight walk in the winery. Staying just a bit longer in bed when you two wakes up, even if it might slow his work down temporarily. Reserving days to spend time with you with no work, just to enjoy each other’s presence. He struggles with properly voicing just how much he loves you but, he tries, just for you. “I love you more than anything else in the world, i really and truly hope you know that,” The sudden words of affirmation shock you but bring joy to your heart nonetheless. Burying your head into his chest before you two fall asleep, softly mentioning how the past few days have been difficult. “I know love, and I’ll do any and everything to make the stress lighter.” His words bring comfort, knowing that they’re truthful and he genuinely does care. Knowing that even though others mightn’t reciprocate your kindness, and as stressful as it is, you can always find comfort in Diluc and he’ll listen to all your problems and treat you with nothing but kindness and love <3

Kate Bush- Running up that Hill (Xiao)

“If I could, I’d make a deal with god and I’d get him to swap our places.”

His hand would be wiping away your tears the moment they start to fall. He’s not quite sure on what to do, or to say really but he knows that he definitely doesn’t want to see you cry. He won’t dare risk saying something that can probably make you feel worse, he’s speechless really. However the more your tears fall the more his heart stings. He takes a moment but pulls you in closer so you can cry into his shirt. If he’s unable to find the right words then he’ll simply show his care and worry for you through his actions. The way your body shakes with every cry has him holding you tighter. Wishing that he was powerful enough to simply take all your pains away, or at least help you burden them together. He’d much rather for himself to shoulder all your pain instead. You’re nothing but kind and caring in his eyes, to see you with such a sad expression… it simply doesn’t suit you at all. As an adeptus he silently curses himself for not knowing a better way to comfort you. For now he’s just holding you tightly, as you cry it out, hoping his embrace can say all the words he wishes to say. When you eventually calm down and decide to look at him, his eyes would be scanning you intensely. He’s simply trying to figure out if you’re actually feeling better by your expression. This is when he finally speaks up, “Are you feeling a little bit better now at least?” A soft smile on his face when he sees you nod, “Good….you can always talk to me, I may not know what to say but I’ll always listen…I’m always here for you.” Hearing him say those words himself made you feel a lot better, curling back up in his arms as you decide to talk to him about it. He listens attentively, reminding you that if there’s anything he can do for you, he will <3

rest now, you are safe

genre: (slight) angst/comfort (mainly comfort), lil scenarios

summary: after a long day’s work, they’re glad to have someone to come home to, someone to help pick up their tired spirits.

wc: 1k

warnings: brief spoilers for zhongli’s identity

a/n: aaa i’m so sorry for the long wait 🌊 nonnie! i love this idea cause 1) i love me some angst/comfort and 2) i love GiVING comfort!!! thank you sm for your request :> i hope you like it!

you can find my masterlist here

diluc

imagine catching him as he sneaks back into the winery at the dead of night, eyebags dark and prominent and shoulders hunched with the weight of his stress. you’d scold him if it wasn’t for how much your heart ached at the sight.

honestly… what more must this man put himself through?

diluc does his best to shut the manor doors as quietly as humanly possible, but as soon as he turns around you’re already standing in the main living space with your arms crossed.

the poor man jumps; a most unusual sight.

“a-ah… darling,” he stutters, guilt written all over his face like a child being scolded by their mother. “you’re up rather late. shouldn’t you be in bed by now…?”

a single raise of your eyebrow and the subtle downwards tilt of your head, a knowing look, is all it takes to have his shoulders slump in defeat.

diluc walks towards you with a shy gait, clearly ashamed. his eyes don’t meet yours as he fixes his gaze on the floor below you.

this won’t do, you tut.

ever so delicately, you cup both of your hands around his soft cheeks and tilt his face up towards you.

you meet him half way, lowering your head to search him in his entire vulnerability.

a tender gesture.

heaving a shaky sigh, diluc brings his own hand up to rest above one of yours as he melts into your hold.

“i’m sorry,” he whispers.

you shake your head softly and bring your foreheads together in a display of comfort. he doesn’t pull away, and it’s at this realisation that you know he feels safe around you- safe enough to lower his stone walls, safe enough to let you see him this exposed.

“i’m not the one you should be apologising to, diluc.”

he knows you well enough to know who you were referring to, and a lighthearted huff slips past his lips. the corners of his mouth lift upwards slightly.

you find that your face naturally mimics his own expression.

“and yet i still am,” he mutters, breath flitting across your face in warm waves. “to you. for constantly making you stay up for me, even when i insist that you don’t.”

silently, you break away from the proximity. a sudden panic rises within diluc as he chases after your warmth, afraid that you might leave him there and then, but he pauses at the feeling of your lips brushing across his forehead.

you kiss the tip of his nose, too.

“well,” you start. “you can make it up to me by joining me in bed. you need to rest, you know.”

slowly, you trace your finger over his brows in an attempt to relieve the furrow in them.

“i’ll be even happier if you lie in for an extra five minutes in the morning?”

holding your hand out for him, diluc’s smile widens just a fraction more as he slips his hand into yours, intertwining your fingers together.

“five more minutes, then.”

zhongli

imagine him coming home after a long day’s work at the funeral parlour, his usually impeccable posture now lost and so obviously weary. usually, he’s well prepared to deal with all the antics that come with managing hutao’s business, so why does he feel so drained?

you both figure it’s because of the new lack of his gnosis- the primary source of all his power. after all, humans have far less impressive limits than that of the gods.

it’s the sixth night in a row that zhongli has come home well into the night, the moon having already risen high in the sky hours ago.

a sigh escapes his thin lips as he finds your figure passed out on the living room sofa by the small fireplace, an open book you must have been reading laying not too far from your hand.

it’s the sixth night in a row that zhongli has come home to find you trying to wait for him.

he hates it. hates how you insist on greeting him as soon as he comes home, subsequently sacrificing your own sleep in favour of making sure he comes home safe.

his burdens shouldn’t have to be yours to carry, and yet you’ve never complained about sharing his load, insisting, even, when you catch even a sliver of stress emanating from the man.

it seems that you awaken somewhere in between his ruminating. your soft voice calls out to him and it snaps him out from his gloomy reverie.

zhongli gives you a tired yet gentle smile in response as he quietly makes his way over to you, sitting beside your form and slowly lifting you up to sit sideways in his lap.

large, warm hands paw at your waist as he noses into your hair, continuing to remain silent.

a still plea of solace, you recognise.

whenever words seem to fail him, which admittedly was very rare, zhongli always resorted to pulling at your body in some way. you found it endearing that he sought you out in such a way, wanting to be as close to you as physically possible.

it made your heart melt every time.

with a touch as light as a feather, you place a kiss on the underside of his jaw and make your way up until you manage to place a few on his ear, one on his temple.

you sigh in lighthearted amusement at his innocently sleepy face.

“long day at work?” you ask, already knowing the answer.

zhongli all but nods tiredly. your arms wrap themselves around his head as you bring him to rest against the crook of your neck, placing your cheek above his head and carding your fingers through his silken strands.

“it’s okay,” you coax gently. “close your eyes. i’ll be right here when you wake up, it’s okay.”

for the first time that night, zhongli lets a low rumble of agreement bubble from his throat as he nuzzles himself further into your loving hold.

zhongli may not verbally tell you his thanks but you know he’s grateful for your consolation when he holds onto you tighter, falling asleep in a matter of minutes.

Hello!! Congratulations on the 1 year anniversary!!! I’d like to request Zhongli with prompt 23 (don’t leave me) and some 🌶️ if possible!

“Don’t leave me.”

Zhongli x Gender Neutral Reader smut with a little bit of angst to comfort (teyvat metro)

The following post contains some sexual content. Read at your own discretion.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: thank you for being my first request for the event :> I hope you like it ;3

He loves you in missionary, a position that makes the both of you feel like you're floating on air. He can't help but cup your face in his hands as he presses a tender kiss on your jawline, sniffling as he trails his hands down your shoulders to hold both of your hands, looking you in the eyes with creased eyebrows and a gaze that cries for your touch again.

It's been only a couple of weeks since you have seen each other, yet, eternity feels like your relationship has drifted apart. Such feelings eat away at the both of you: and you both can only wonder "will the lack of time tear us apart?"

Yet, you can hear Zhongli sniffle in a choked voice, pressing your thighs together as he closes them to his knees. Trembling just slightly, you feel his elbows resting against your sides, along with his stiff cock gently brushing up against your thigh.

"Don't leave me, dearest," he whispers. "Time has taken you away from me—yet... I can promise you that I will make all of that up to you in any and every way you desire."

He doesn't ever cry. But perhaps, it's the memory of past lovers that he may or may not have had that haunts him. some say that solitude brings a world of pain, yet a world of self-reliance. Because of such, Zhongli is multi-talented in many matters of life essentials but has you to be the other half that brings him up when he's down.

Hearing and seeing tears trickle down his cheeks, dropping warmly onto your chest is like feeling and watching as your heart gets torn in half into tangled threads. You lean up, kissing him on the lips as you wrap your legs around his waist, attempting to weave back your bond through the matters of the flesh. Although he is saddened, and so too, are you—you let go of his hands to cup his face reciprocating, kissing, and reassuring him that you would never leave the most elegantly loving man in this entire world.

Interested in my 1-year anniversary event? Head to the event landing page to learn more and feel free to request! Interested in part two? Request it!

Howdy bestie. I love your blog so much, your writing is super comforting for me on both good and bad days, and the overall welcoming and warm vibes I get here is just *chefs kiss*. So first and foremost I love you and I hope you're having a great week! If not, I curse those who've put a damper on your mood to live with toe nails just a smidge too long for comfort.

Secondly, I wanted to know if you could write a handful of genshin characters comforting a depressed reader - specifically someone struggling to find/understand their worth. The best way I can describe it is through these lyrics: "Do you feel alone just like I do? Do you hate the sound of your heartbeat too?" And "Is it life to always wonder who you'll be? Crashing to the pavement, sick of feeling vacant." In a nutshell, someone who can't see themselves living long due to their numbness.

That's as good as I can describe it without getting too morbid, I'm sorry :') If you do choose to write this, all I ask is to see Zhongli, Thoma, Diluc or Kazuha (not all of them if you're not up to it). Feel free to toss in your own comfort characters too! I love encouraging my favourite blogs to treat themselves - you deserve it!!

Much love from a depressed panda :) sorry this is so long :')

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ do you hate your own heartbeat like I do?

a/n: I've been ignoring this for way too long, sorry about that 😔

gn!reader, poc!reader friendly, depressed!reader

_________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

Zhongli... doesn't know what do say. He doesn't hate his heart beat, and you shouldn't either! Come to think of it, he loves your heart: laying on your chest some days and listening to its pace is comforting for him. Please don't say such things, they make him emotional to know someone as amazing as you would hate themselves.

Diluc instantly is concerned. Don't say things like that, he wants to say. Do you know how much I care for you? He's going to take every opportunity to check up on you now, in fear of you taking your own life. Your sweet boyfriend will do everything he can to ensure you know what you're worth. Today, let him read you live poems from an old book near the hearth of the fireplace.

Celestial Blessing..

Request: How would the liyue characters react to their s/o receiving a vision! Vision type and why.. very plot heavy.

This is quite a long fic, hence why it took me long to write it! Please i would love feedback if you want to give some, re-blogs appreciated!

Characters: Zhongli, Xiao, Beidou ( I will release another part with Yelan and Ningguang within!)

Warnings: Injuries, may be a little graphic. Mentions of forced marriage and parental issues (Beidou’s). This is from my interpretation of how visions are received and may not be canon, will vary on the vision!

Terms you may not of heard of… Kwoon- A training hall for chinese martial arts, liyue is quite obviously inspired by china!

Zhongli

Geo- Immovable will and determination, hardworking and fixated.

•Being a lead martial artist and founder of your rather large kwoon meant that you required not only strength but incredible knowledge of the arts and weaponry. Which you thought you fulfilled, if your lover’s opinion did not seem convincing enough. You continued with your family’s legacy and you wore your last name with utmost pride.

•Zhongli and yourself have been a couple for just nearly two years. The opening of your training hall was a joint effort between the both of you, zhongli often printing and scripting the agreement and safety contracts, terms and conditions along with all other formalities whilst you planned the architecture of your kwoon, along with the uniform you required your students to wear, ensuring their comfort was your utmost priority. About a month before the event, Zhongli suggested the idea of opening your training hall on your anniversary.

•‘My love, how do you like the idea of celebrating two ceremonies at once?’ Of course, his cryptic wording left you confused, however the more he explained his point, the more you liked it, clasping your arms around his waist and cherishing his warm loving embrace as he hugged you back, caressing your hair and peppering gentle kisses upon your forehead and cheeks.

•When the day arrived, you found yourself in a rather restless state of perfectionism, darting from place to place at the location and ensuring everything was errorless. Speech stand? Zhongli’s handling it. Refreshments? Upon the banquet table to the right. Decorations and banners? Prepared previously, am i forgetting something?

• The only person who could inflict serenity upon you was your husband himself, lightheartedly reprimanding you to remain tranquil and to take better care of yourself whilst fondling your temporarily calloused hands, guiding you to the stage provided by Yun-Han Opera Troupe.

• Delivering your speech was far from difficult with the support Zhongli gave you, constant reassurance allowed you to deliver it to a flawless standard. Many from the crowd cheered and encouraged you on, strings of melodic praises derived from their kind admiration-driven hearts. Your dearest’s sincere wistful smile accompanied by your gleaming irises was a sight to behold.

• Zhongli may be perceived as forgetful, yet he would never omit to anything related to you, his primary priority. Lightly latching onto your wrist, he whisked you away into a nearby stairwell, to which he deemed would provide all the privacy he wanted. You stared up at him in mild mystification, about to part your lips to question his bizzare actions yet you were stopped with one of his fingers gently upon your mouth, gesturing you to wait.

• From behind his lean form, he presented to you an intricate puzzle, a catalyst of sorts, complex rings of jade orbiting the main section of it, while it rotated and spun slowly in the breeze. Saying you were awestruck was a severe understatement, your eyes sparkled with infatuation at both the weapon and the handsome expression on your husband’s face.

• ‘My dearest, put your palms out before me.’ He requested. You obeyed his instructions, gradually opening your hands from the tight clasp they were in formerly. Zhongli placed the treasure in your hands, and watched how it’s spinning motion significantly increased until it was a blur, glowing in its glory just as cor lapis would do in the moonlight. ‘I knew you were the one the moment i laid my eyes on you, love.’ A burning sensation coursed through your palms, a surreal type of feeling you could not explain in words. There before you, was a golden vision.

• A geo vision. Shining and enlightening the dim alleyway, exactly matching the resplendent hue of Rex Lapis’ pupils, which now was reflected in you. The puzzle levitating to your side, metaphorically representing a promise of protection from the Lord of Geo himself, a faithful weapon. The largest of smirks plastered on your darling’s face, which you couldn’t help but cry delighted sobs into the nape of his neck.

Xiao

Pyro- A burning, scalding passion, a fierce debate between the arts and fitting within society.

• Xiao first met you a year ago, battling and training against two ruin guards and a ruin hunter, casting an abundance of seals and spells at your disposal, trapping the entities and healing the damaged ley line attracting all of them. For a mortal, he was incredibly impressed, who gave you these adepti spells and casts? Xiao questioned himself, continuing to watch you, who was occupied with aiming arrows at numerous weak points, from a distance.

• He instantaneously materialised infront of the adeptus’ abode, unequipping his luminescent polearm before approaching the edge of the cliff, glancing around for a specific white crane, whom he found in the distance and began to approach.

•’General Alatus, is there something you may need? Why am i graced with your presence?’ Cloud retainer spoke, her formal, transcendent voice awaiting for an answer, azure sky-like wings glowing and rustling against her pure bodice of feathers. ‘Not particularly important, but i’ve noticed a young mortal utilising the arts of the adepti.’

•Cloud retainer followed his query with curt nod, elaborating on how you were her newest follower, a protector of the history of liyue and needed means to protect yourself with such valuable knowledge. Xiao’s misjudgement of you lead to him believing you were a human, when in fact, you were the preserver of Juyeun Karst. Blood of the Adepti coursed through your veins, a valuable life form not to be undervalued.

•From then on, you began to notice a omnipresent individual beside your master, who was willing to aid you with combat training when not protecting Liyue and continuing the legacy of the yakshas. You valued his help, expressing how you felt honoured and how this would boost your progress. What you may not have took note of was the short-lived smile which was present upon his lips, heart warming at the sincere praise.

• As your andragogy continued, so did your contact with your now lover. His unexpected gentleness and calmness brought you both closer and let him alleviate the state painstaking loneliness. He assisted you with combat while you educated him on humane emotions and social ques, which compelled him to focus on his own, the one fluttering in his heart.

•Months later, with your established relationship still flourishing, you found your skills with the bow has dramatically increased, utilising other weapons was a suggestion of Xiao’s, one which you felt uncomfortable to at first, yet decided it would be preferable to increase mastery. According to cloud retainer, you have reached peak performance, the ability to destroy large mechanical anomalies in less than minutes, and to seal ancient threats found spiralling in instability underground.

• The time for your final test has arrived. Careful planning and consideration lead you outside the once sealed domain of Morax’s Creation, Azhdaha. A fierce dragon with ruby bloodlusted vision, a entity with such a reputation that the most seasoned fighters shivered at the mere mention of. Why put you up against such an opponent, surely it would be dangerous? Well, risk is the only lead to development.

•Xiao’s calamitous aura was sensed by the reptilian creature from the moment he entered. The adeptus with such a disastrous, protective nature followed by a determined and ambitious one, gently grasping onto your wrist as if he was afraid regarding your safety, to which he was.

•’Such a powerful, dreading emanation, who dares enters my domain?’ Azhdaha thundered, remaining in his spot, demanding an immediate answer. Xiao knew already that this was one of the leviathan’s tactics, the use of threats to force one’s opponent into submission, even before the duel commenced.

•‘Your intimidation will not work on me, i have already previously discussed the conditions of this spar. If any terms shall be broken, you would wish a fate decided by Morax, rather than with me.’ Alatus retaliated, before turning to you and placing his hand onto your shoulder and the other below your chin, caressing your skin and though he did not speak, his message was clear. ‘If anything goes wrong, do not restrain from calling for me.’

• ‘Begin.’ He declared, and with that, Azhdaha spent no time at all breaking his temporary seals, and emitting a outcry of war and destruction. You swiftly reached for your bow, analysing the dragon’s every move, determining when to use which seals and where.

•A thunderous wave of energy oscillated across the ground, followed by a large leap into the air from you, aiming precisely for the geo insignia upon its chest. The arrows fired at incredible speed, piercing through the tough flesh of the creature, forcing a strained howl of anger from Azhdaha. It seemed it’s fury was released in outbursts of explosive icicles derived from its cryo infusion, targeted directly at you. Whilst you managed to avoid the first wave, the second batch took you by surprise.

•The biting, glacial blades stunned your movement, sending you plummeting into the soil beneath yourself, a cry of affliction pulled from your throat, leaving you immobile and wounded momentarily as the dragon approached you. Your admirer clenched so tightly onto his jaded spear that it was struggling to remain intact in one piece, you had previously assured him that if you really required his assistance, you would ask, which compelled him to stay put.

• Strings of vulgar curses left your mouth, summoning a catalyst to speed up your recovery before the entity reached you, prompting you to mount yourself upright. Once again, unsheathing your weapon. From what you could tell, Azhdaha seemed too consumed with his foul move and revenge that he ignored his unprotected limbs, revealing a chance almost too well timed to be real.

•Fuelled by the years of practice and sparring, you chanted a incantation before charging towards him at full agility. Behind your form was a grand seal, expeditiously approaching Azhdaha. A final gesture of your hand set the domain up into chaos.

• A monumental vermillion fulmination descended to the ground and emitted a force so great you lost your footing, stabbing an arrow to the ground to prevent being blown away. A harsh blood-curdling roar sounded, signifying the downfall of your opponent.

•Fog occupied the atmosphere, a maze of unpredictability and mystery. A minuscule faint glow guided you to the centre like a lighthouse to a boat lost at sea. The closer you got, the more luminous the crimson glow became. Kneeling down, You clutched the embellishment tightly within your hands. A blessing from the gods, an achievement so noticeable, your heart swelling with pride.

•A radiating pyro vision was cradled in your arms. Your form now could be seen by Xiao, who rapidly crouched beside you, he held your jaw, ensuring you looked up at him. Your lover had the warmest grin you had ever seen grace his face, to which you immediately hugged him. A soft gasp was heard from him, yet no complaints..

Beidou

Anemo- The loss of those dearest to you for personal freedom and progression, individuality.

• Many who walked this land of liyue gazed at you, hearts dropping in sheer jealously. A rich socialite was what you were to these people, nothing else. A heartless mortal with a mind set on business and riches. In fact, you were quite the opposite, but why does it matter? Everything happens behind closed shutters and shadowy doors.

•Authoritative and superior were your parents, admired by all, associates with each end of Liyue’s exquisite corporations, right and left. Unbeknownst to citizenry, cynical and inconsiderate were their true faces. Many would consider you privileged, you’d call yourself unfaithful and hopeless, projections of your parent’s language inculcated into your brain.

• ‘We will not stand for such behaviour, do not dare tarnish our reputation with such problematic requests.’ They scolded, persuading you to do what they asked of you. Hopping from ‘buisness meetings’ when infact, they were arranged proposals.

•It just so happened that today was one of those events. Donning exquisite attire and elegance, much to your disliking. Gracefully seated within the outside quarter of Xinyue Kiosk, timorously searching the pedestrians below you for your 3rd proposal.

•An older man appeared, a crooked grin plastered on his faintly wrinkled profile, eyebrows furrowed in interest before situating right next to you. The sudden approach and confidence of this man made your ailing stomach churn even more, a nauseous feeling emerging from your throat. ‘So, I assume your parents have already introduced me as your..suitor?’ There was that feeling again, utter disgust, your windpipe seemed as if a pair of hands constricted your breathing, scrambling for an answer.

•Choking out a meek ‘excuse me, sir’ was enough of an excuse to hurry down the steps and through the back alley, avoiding the gaze of citizens from possibly questioning you. Gaining momentum, you sped down the harbour behind stalls as cautiously as one could in such regal clothing.

•One occurrence you initially thought was a mistake turned out to be your saviour. You collided straight into another person, gasping as you hit their perceived chest, spewing apologies profusely. Just as you were to begin escaping into the opposite direction, a hand grasped onto your wrist, pulling you back towards whoever gently yet firmly. You focused onto her appearance.

• ‘Hey! Where are you going? I haven’t…’ Her deep voice and rich accent trailing off. A brunette woman with concerned, fuchsia eyes, the other covered with a scarlet eyepatch. Her eyebrow raised with realisation, gazing down at you closely, watching the way your own pupils dilated in horror, frantically scattering and searching the surroundings but why? Oh…

•Her expression immediately softened, mouth slightly ajar, attempting to recollect her thoughts. Weren’t you the reputable, prestigious child of Liyue’s most affluent buisness partners? What were you doing in a place like this, even more so with such a petrified expression?

•’Calm down sweetheart, come with me for a bit..You seem too uneasy.’ Her soft, amiable tone soothing your racing heart, a gradual calming effect induced onto you. She surveyed the harbour, deciding where you take you as she held your quivering hand and drew circles onto them, her long nails pleasantly tracing patterns which pacified you.

•She sheltered and handled you as if you were a treasure to a pirate, precious and careful. Ultimately choosing to take you aboard the Crux, which was currently empty due to her crew being occupied with business affairs. Every small considerate smile she gave you made your heart flutter, faint shades of blush dusting your complexion.

•Removing you from publicity, she guided you to her deck and to her cabin. Within it laid a medium sized bed, adorned with soft bedsheets and pillows, a desk with an abundance of organised stamped papers in stacks, with a few clothing racks and luscious carpet. She gestured you to rest upon the bed, putting a pillow under your head, as you laid down, ignoring your polite protests. She momentarily left the room.

•What was this feeling? Such warmth and peace, contrasted with the flittering of your pulse. A quiet squeak of the door and sound of rushed heels against the wooden deck alerted you and pulled you from your thoughts. You knew her as Captain Beidou, partly from associations she had with your parents and others from her appearance, fitting the strong figure of a mighty woman with a carefree benevolent heart.

•’ Believe it or not, dear, i do know who you may be and i have deduced what kind of situation you are caught up in.. yeah, not a pleasant one yet i still hope you can open up to me? Please?’ Beidou comforted, placing her palm on your forehead, sweeping the strands of stray hair to the side. You emitted a small sigh, gradually giving such details, you could trust her. Who wouldn’t?

•’I do not want to cause additional issues, plus your parents know me quite well, why don’t i drop you off to your estate, hmm?’ The captain suggested, awaiting a response. Regardless of how you arrived, you would be in dire trouble. You uttered a small agreement, lifting yourself from the bed. ‘I’ll deal with him, don’t worry.’

•A arm latched onto your own, encasing you in a protective stance, she walked you back, stopping occasionally to check up on you. You may not of known so, but your exhaustion worried her deeply. Once you reached your estate, the guards situated outside, looking rather exhausted and latching onto their polearms for support, swiftly corrected their posture and bombarded you with questions. Beidou intercepted their questions with a answer of her own. ‘She was not feeling well, I am here to bring her back to her parents.’ She resonated, rubbing her index finger along your cheek affectionately, a curt nod to the guards before spinning on her heel and retreating back to the harbour.

•Days of lying in complete rest at home told you that Beidou’s lie deceived your parents perfectly, for once they treated you with adequate care as a person, not a utility. You missed her dearly, yearning for her comfort the longer you stayed at home.

•You were interrupted one morning by a guard briskly walking into your room to leave a letter in your hands. ‘I’m doing you a huge favour, please don’t mess this opportunity up.’ was all he said, shutting the door behind him. Sliding your fingers underneath the envelope to reveal the letter. The handwriting was gorgeous, professionally cursive and legible.

•’ The Crux will depart at midnight, i hope to see you aboard it, with me. This situation you are in clearly is not what you desire, i can help you build a new life elsewhere.’ Stunned was what you felt now. A new life? This could solve all your issues, you could be away from your parents, away from your troubles and finally be free.

• Dusk had fallen upon Liyue, luminescent lanterns and burning stars lit up the night, guiding and coaxing those to admire its beauty. You wore your combat uniform, the golden trimmed sleeves that flared matched the torso and bottom half. You sneaked out of the room, heading directly to the unarmed museum of your estate. Inching the door open and peering in, the coast was empty of guards, you slipped in through the doors and glanced around.

•Assortments of family heirlooms, categorised in a organised order. You knew exactly where to go, straight towards the weapons, which you took your time admiring, elegant catalysts, worn yet precious swords and the sharpest polearms. Weapons were essential, especially these, they could have multiple uses, if you were short on mora you could even sell them. You latched your fingers around the smooth lapis polearm, tracing the intricate patterns around it, lifting it from the wooden stand and ultimately deciding this would be what you took. Lightweight yet deadly, a perfect combination.

•You swiftly escaped through the window to your right, dropping down onto the street, bolting towards the docks with the night concealing any traces you left. You reached the familiar ship, using the ladder to hoist yourself up into it, catching your breath and looking around for Beidou. A few calls of her name and she noticed your presence, quickly pacing towards you, swinging her arm around your neck.

• A glad smirk occupying her features, grasping your hand and bringing you up onto the higher level of the deck. She gestured you to sit on the floor with her under the makeshift canopy, brushing your hair with her fingers and fluttering a gentle kiss on your nose.

•The grand cruise abruptly lifted its anchors, leaving the docks and sailing further away. You turned back to her, eyes tearful and wrapping your arms around her neck. You allowed your tears to flow, cascading your face and when you left Beidou’s hold, onto your hands as you bowed your head with a solemn smile.

• Your final tear dropped into the palm of your hands, followed by an intense gust of wind, glancing up you saw a firefly, it’s verdant trail descending to engulf it’s surroundings with blinding light. It circled your hands and eventually took its own concluding flicker, a blazing teal luminosity burning up, inducing a shock of ignition through your nerves, eyes glowing a deep turquoise. When you gained your sight back, you turned to your lap.

•There was a Vision, placed into your hands by the God of Freedom, in all its glory. Caressing the smooth glass-like orb, bringing it up to your ear, rushing gales heard within the distance, laughs of your lover and quiet sobs belonging to you. A pair of hands encased your face, drying away the remnants of teardrops.

Ooohh, could I please request some fluff for Zhongli?? Some fluff/comfort sort of deal with a twinge of angst? Zhongli has been my comfort character ever since. I don't have a specific idea, but perhaps the reader is feeling overworked yet useless, just not their prime and it's getting them down with feelings that they try to hide away from him so they don't "bother" him.

note: long weekend so im gonna try to answer this!!

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

Burdens

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

Zhongli had been there to listen to (name) talk whenever. To give advice, and to comfort.

But recently, their meetings together had lessened.

Zhongli knew that they were a busy person, so he assumed that they were busy. Each time they meet, they looked even more tired, and despite that, tried to look okay.

Eventually, they stopped meeting each other.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

Knock Knock Knock

"Yes?" (name) called out, almost stumbling over a pile of fallen papers before reaching the door.

They open the door to see a worried Zhongli carrying a small box.

"Zhongli..?"

"You haven't been meeting me recently. So I got worried." Zhongli handed the box tio them. "I bought some snacks from Wanmin Restaurant."

"Oh uhm.. Thank you. I wasn't expecting you here.."

"We are lovers, are we not? It would be improper for me not to check up on you." Zhongli looked at (name) worriedly, before noticing the messy room behind them. "Have you taken a break in awhile?"

"Oh of course! Don't worry about me too much." (name) daked a smile.

Zhongli sighed. "Dear, a break wouldn't hurt. Your company won't go crashing down if you rest."

"But-"

"You are a diligent worker, but even someone like you must rest."

(name) looked down in defeat. "I guess.."

"Let's go to Third-Round Knockout and relax there. A cup of tea will help you calm down."

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

The two walked to their usual area, sipping tea and munching on the snacks he bought while chatting.

Eventually, Zhongli just had to ask this question.

"Dear, if it isn't too intrusive, may I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"Why did you hide away from me? I know you were busy but.. you didn't give me a letter or tell me." Zhongli looked at them worriedly.

"I uhm.." (name) looked down at the cup of tea in their hands. "I.. didn't want to burden you."

"Darling.. You know that you could never be a burden to me." Zhongli said tenderly, placing a hand on theirs.

"I'm sorry, I just.. was feeling useless despite working so hard." (name) held back the tears threatening to spill. "Like my efforts weren't being acknowledged."

"Don't say you're sorry, I was just very worried for your well-being. You're not useless, so don't ever think that. You're my lover, my joy and my everything. I want to make sure that you're always happy."

Tears ran down their cheeks. Zhongli stood up and held them close.

"I love you very much."

The request you did with child reader who is kinda stupid because their parents sheltered them you did it with Xiao, scara and kazuha. Could you do it with tighnari and zhongli as well ??

Zhongli with a Little Sibling!Reader Part 2

I don't write for Tighnari, but I might write for him when I learn more about him.

Previous part here.

Strictly platonic.

You remind him of when he had to adjust to mortal life.

Zhongli has learned a lot, so he's willing to walk you around Liyue and ramble about anything you see.

If you do something stupid, Zhongli would try to understand your perspective. If it was harmless, he'd chuckle and probably coo at you.

Some people might bully you for acting so dumb. If you come home crying, Zhongli's ready to put up a fight.

Other than that, he'd sit you on his lap and reassure you that you're okay, you did nothing wrong and it wasn't your fault. After that, he'll pull you in bed. Zhongli likes to sleep holding your hand.

In the mornings or evenings, if you like sweets, Zhongli will take you out for mochi or something.

He tried taking you to where he and other people were negotiating about a trade. You were so confused the whole time, Zhongli now asks Childe if he could look after you.

If you're cold, Zhongli picks you up and hides you under his coat. Or if you're a little taller, he'll just wrap his coat around you.

When you two first met, you were a bit uncomfortable and shy with him. Zhongli actually tells you he's an ex archon, and can protect you.

His favorite place to kiss you is your hand.

You sometimes do stupid stuff infront of people, and those people sometimes get angry at you.

If Zhongli's there with you, he'll grab your hand and walk away. There isn't any time to talk to close minded mortals.

Little pawn

Ft. Zhongli

mild smut

"Zhongli, are you done?" You whispered behind him, leaning on his ear so only he could hear you. Zhongli had said that he has to yet again meet with the harbinger that you are always suspicious about.

"It appears like your little pawn here is getting impatient. Is it perhaps because you loathe my presence? Or... Was it something else?" The carrot head asked with a wide and confident smirk, bringing his arms up for a shrug look as he looked at you up and down.

You soon looked at Zhongli who held a calm and collected look, internally begging for him to tell Childe that you two would be leaving. But dreams and hopes can be broken, and soon, you waited for them to finish while glaring at nothing but space while crossing your arms. 'Fucking whale...'

"If that's all we need to talk about, I must get going now, " Childe finally said which made you straighten up. He looked at you and so did you do to him. He chuckled at himself as if thinking about something and soon went out of the bank.

'Finally'

You spun around to face Zhongli but soon regretted it as you saw the look he was giving you. "Zhongli-"

"You couldn't keep your hands to yourself for one second, don't you? You slutty whore..." he luckily whispered as he approached you, certain that it was only you who heard it.

Now that he had said it, you did remember grabbing his buns unconsciously while he was talking with Childe. 'Oops?' You mentally shrugged. "I couldn't help it, they're just too tempting," You dreamily said.

You heard him sigh as he grabs your hand, dragging you out of the bank and presumably to your rental house.

As you two arrived, he immediately slammed the door shut and pinned you against it, as he started attacking your neck causing you to let out a small moan from the sudden move.

He kissed and sucked through every spot he can, making sure he marked every part of your neck. He then attacked your lips, kissing you until you run out of breath only to let you breathe again but soon attack. Your tongues battle for dominance which he won, and as the result is you letting him explore your mouth. Soon, he lifted your shirt, moving his hands up and down your stomach as it later made its way to your tits; pinching your little buds and twisting them.

"W-wait!" you pleaded while gripping his shoulders. "N- hngg~ Not- here..!"

Hearing your words, he removed his hand from under your shirt and pulled back from the heated kiss with heavy breaths. He gripped your waist and pulled you up to his shoulder, carrying you to your room.

Let's just say... You had the greatest night of your life.

untitled 01

word count ! ~450 pairing ! zhongli x gn!reader genre ! comfort

.｡.:*☆ ZHONGLI !

He found you on the balcony, arms wrapped around your legs and chin resting on your knees. Your hair swayed gently with the night breeze as you stared off into the distance. Faintly, he could hear the distant sounds of the city’s nightlife.

Approaching slowly, he placed a blanket around your shoulders and sat cross-legged by your side. At your silence, Zhongli glanced at your briefly before tilting his head back to look at the moon.

“It’s a beautiful night,” he observed. When you didn’t respond, he took it as a sign to continue.

“Why are you up so late, my love?” You hummed.

“I’m just… just thinking, is all.”

“May I ask what plagues your mind?” Sighing, your eyes cast downward as you tried to formulate your thoughts.

“Do you ever-” you began, swallowing thickly. “Do you ever feel as if… as if there’s no point to it all?” Your brows furrowed, and even without looking you could tell your lover was staring intently at you.

“No matter how hard I try, it feels as if my life is stagnant. Everybody else is making so much progress—learning new things, traveling, reaching milestones and sometimes-” you choke.

“Sometimes it feels like I’m being left behind. And it terrifies me.”

Zhongli contemplates for a moment, opening his mouth to speak before shutting it. Instead, he takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, turning to stare at the moon once again.

“All things in life move at different speeds,” he starts. “Despite what you may think, I can say with confidence that you are not alone in your thoughts. Many have voiced similar fears and have conquered them beautifully.

"Age—despite what many would believe—does not equate to wisdom. Wisdom comes with experience, and no two people are given the same opportunities. It is easy to compare yourself to your peers when it seems as if they are at a higher place in life than you, but by doing so you are ignoring their own experiences—the struggles they have endured to reach that point.

"To live is to feel. You will hurt and experience loss, long for things you did not know you needed, rage with the power of the sun, love so deeply it aches, and yet without all these things life would become dull and meaningless.

"In order to truly appreciate the wonders this universe has to offer—to experience how beautiful life can be, you must experience the terrible things as well, for what is light without darkness, sadness without joy, harmony without discord?

"The journey of life can be daunting, but less so when we have the support of our loved ones.” Reaching over, he intertwined his fingers with yours, rubbing his thumb along the back of your palm.

“After all, what is life without love?”

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?

Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?

Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

“Sweetheart?” Zhongli asked, incredibly cautious with his following choice of words. “Are you…alright?”

“Fine, love,” you lied, sitting up to face him. “Just a little tired today, is all.”

He sighed and picked up your chin to look at him. “My dear, please talk to me,” he muttered, leaning down to kiss the crown of your head.

Something about how gentle his touch was broke your heart. You’d been stuck in bed all day and felt as if a weight held down all the muscles in your body—the warm blankets seemed much more convincing than getting up. All of the emotions you’d been pushing down for days erupted, causing a rather brutal mess of emotions.

You leaned in, resting your head against his stomach as you cried. He gasped quietly in his surprise but held you nonetheless, hoping to offer whatever comfort to you he could.

“My dear,” he muttered, stroking the top of your head. “I am so sorry for whatever has caused this.”

After a long moment, you hushed, and he took the opportunity to talk to you. He knelt and held your face in an attempt to get you to talk to him.

“Would you like to talk about it?” he asked, gentle words as kind as his touch.

You shook your head—it was too much right now. There was too much happening and you weren’t sure if you could talk about it, let alone try to.

“I will leave, if you would like. I will also stay if you would prefer that.”

You grabbed his hand before he could move away and squeezed it tight. Anything you could do to get him to stay right now, you would.

He offered a gentle smile and squeezed your hand in return. “I shall stay, then. Would you like to lie down?”

You didn’t want to let go of his hand, but laid down anyway for the sake of being comfortable. He shed his jacket and laid on the other side of the bed from you, facing you. Almost immediately, you curled into his side, laying your head on his chest and listening to the slow rhythm of his heartbeat.

Occasionally he’d pick his head up to kiss the top of yours, but other than that, neither of you moved much. You were perfectly content to fall asleep with him.

He must have felt you nodding off when he spoke up. “Go to sleep, my love,” he muttered. “I’ll be here when you wake up.”

You buried in closer and pulled the blankets up to your chin, soon falling asleep in his arms.

BOTHER - zhongli

g/n reader !!

WARNINGS! depression, swearing (like once), mentions of not eating.

A/N! tysm for rq again! i hope you like this <3 might be a bit ooc because i’ve never written zhongli before :(

@urcatbf <3

you hadn’t been around zhongli much lately.

sometimes he would knock on the door, or a friend would tell you that he was asking about you. it was nice to know he was thinking of you, but you wouldn’t dare let him see you right now.

for the last two weeks you had spent your time in your room. you laid in your bed, either sleeping or reading books. anything to keep you busy that didn’t take much work.

bathroom breaks were scarce. eventually, your bladder had become too full and your kidneys screamed at you to get the fuck out of bed, forcing you to groan in extreme pain as you walked carefully down the hallway to your bathroom.

the house was dark, dusty, as if the person who once lived in it had gone on a long vacation. the only light was the soft beams of sun that shown through the windows, which let you know if it was day or night.

most of the time, it was night.

after leaving the bathroom, your body still hurt so you pushed yourself to the kitchen. the light flickered on, the soft hum of electricity filling the silent air.

the food that was once there had rotted by now, the only edible thing left was the water.

you knew you had to leave your house eventually, but even though your stomach begged for food, you didn’t feel the need to actually get it.

so, you retreated back to your room— collapsing on the bed, and the process repeated.

after more time had passed, you slowly regained your sense to gather the things your body needed to survive.

you suspected it was morning, the light of the sun shining against your blankets. slowly, you got out of bed.

you tied your hair up, not feeling well enough to wash it yet. you changed your clothes into something more presentable.

you left your house.

zhongli noticed when you stopped showing up at his work. minutes stretched to hours, hours to days, and soon he was wondering if something terrible had happened to you.

“apologies, director, but i can’t help but wonder if (y/n) is distancing themself because i did something wrong.” zhongli said.

“i swear to—“ hu tao huffed, “listen, you didn’t do anything wrong. doesn’t (y/n) get like… super depressed sometimes? maybe it’s that.”

“depressed?” zhongli said, crossing his arms. “(y/n) never mentioned going through depression to me.”

“(y/n) said that they don’t like to talk about it to me once, but it was a while ago. i guess they would just rather suffer alone.”

“suffer? (y/n) should never have to go through anything like that alone. why didn’t they ask me for my assistance?” zhongli says.

“why’re you asking me? ask them!” hu tao exclaims.

luckily, zhongli sees you wandering around, almost detached from the other people in the harbor, a basket of fresh food in their arms.

zhongli walks over to you, offering to carry the basket.

“hello, my love.” you say, voice scratchy from not being used, “it’s… been a while.”

“so it has.” zhongli kisses your hand, smiling slightly.

“if you wouldn’t mind, i would like to take you back to my office so we can talk. of course, it’s completely alright if you can’t.”

you look away, aiming your gaze at the ground beneath you. “i don’t really…”

“it won’t take long,” zhongli says, almost begging as he takes your hands in his.

“… alright.”

“(y/n), you know that i love you, right?” zhongli says, sitting next to you on a comfortable couch.

“of course i do, why?”

“as your lover, i want to feel safe around me. i want you to feel like you can tell me how you’re feeling, without fear of being judged.” zhongli says softly.

“zhongli…” you say, fighting to say the words that you’ve been holding back.

zhongli stared at you with sincere eyes, his presence comforting but the weighing fear of his judgement looming i’ve you.

you took a deep breath, pushing down the negative feelings.

“i’m sorry, for distancing myself.”

zhongli shook his head, “no, i’m sorry for not noticing how you’re feeling soon enough.” he holds your hand, rubbing circles into it.

tears brimmed your eyes, “i didn’t want you to think that i was annoying… or a burden to you. i’m sorry.”

now, zhongli understood. like a meteorite had come crashing down on him, he knew why you were so hesitant to open up, and he was angry.

not at you, never, but at the people who made you feel that you needed to keep your feelings inside.

he leaned in closer, wrapping his arms around you and resting his chin on your head. he felt your tears soak his shoulder, but he didn’t mind at all.

“you are not a burden, to me or anyone. i would never judge you for having depression. it’s not something you can control.”

“please inform me on how i can help you, and i will do my best.”
