Genshin Impact Self Aware – Your sadness  
They miss you. For past week you have been login into the game only to do commissions and changing Resin into Condensed one (or quickly doing domains or Ley Lines if you already had 5 of them). They hoped that with the new regions of Fontaine you will be playing more, you will take them to get chests, do puzzles, find Oculi and enjoy the scenery like always. But no, you didn’t even unlocked all the new waypoints, only two or three, so they couldn’t help but wonder "Are you getting tired of them?"
They tried to be patient but the more time passed the more they were feeling worried. Till that one day you logged and they could hear you talking to them like sometimes you did before. “Finally we can go check those new places, right?” The team you were using lately was happy, but they couldn’t do anything that would make you aware that they are conscious about you and this ‘world’, so they had to contain their smiles after hearing your voice.
And yet, the more you were looking around with them and fight the enemies the more silent you become again, till you stopped moving them at some point. They wondered if you left for moment to bring food or something to drink but then they heard it. Your muffled sobs “What happened? Why are you crying? Did you get hurt? ” those questions were swarming in their heads and they couldn’t do anything. Through your sobs they could hear “I can’t stop thinking about it” What are you thinking about? If only they could do something for you, comfort you, tell that everything will be alright. But they can’t. No matter how much they love you. They can’t do anything for you.
You took them to a safe place, mumbling that you didn't feel like playing anymore and logged off. They are alone again, knowing that you’re sad.
Maybe it’s really time to try bring you here, where they will be able to protect you and make you smile every day.

Hello hello hello there, good writer! I was wondering if you'd be open to writing platonic HCs for the currently playable Archons in the game. Basically, way back when during the Archon War (or in Nahida's case, some point early on when she was instated as Sumeru's new Archon) the Archon's save a baby dragon's (the reader) life.Now, centuries later, at some point following the events of the Archon quests, they encounter Dragon!reader reader- now a fully-matured dragon (Dragon is the same element as each Archon. Individually, I mean, they aren't multi-elemental). The Archon recognizes them through any number of factors (a scar in a very particular area of Dragon!Reader's body, a discolored patch of scales, etc.) And as for how they encounter each other, maybe the Archon is accompanying the Traveler on a commission, and dragon!reader saves the Traveler or Archon's ass when the situation gets dicey, maybe the Archon senses a familiar presence and investigates, perhaps paths cross and they find themselves saving (or assisting) dragon!reader yet again, or maybe it's just a chance case of the stars aligning in just the right way. Apologies for the massive word dump, just thought I'd give you some prompts in case you have trouble coming up with ideas for this, if you want to do it, or course!
That is such a cool idea! And I really appreciate the word dump, it really helped me out a great deal this time around, so thank you, kind anon<3
Characters Included: Zhongli; Venti; Nahida
Content: gender neutral! dragon! reader; platonic headcanons;
Word count: 2,2k words
I hope this comes somewhat close to what you had in mind. Hope you enjoy<3
Tumblr media
Zhongli
Zhongli often looks back fondly at the times where he had adopted this strange baby dragon
the Archon War was a though time period, both for him and the people at his side, but having that baby to take care of by his side and teaching it all sorts of things made it somewhat bearable for him
he would often play around with it, sometimes even play fighting to show it a few moves and tricks and the dragon seemed to enjoy that a whole lot
though cuddling sessions always seemed to be the dragons favourite, especially when a certain spot under his chin was being scratched
it was a difficult spot for others to reach, seeing as it was surrounded by brown spikes, indicating your resonance with the Geo element, but seeing the happy expression on the baby's face made it worth it in the end
When the dragon later got older and grew up in Zhongli's care, it would often join him in various battles while the War still lasted
On one such battles, the dragon got hurt pretty badly in it's left eye, ultimately loosing it in the process. But it adjusted rather well to living with only half it's eyesight
Later, when the Archon war ended and peace had returned to Liyue, the dragon was all grown up now as well. And one day, without any prior indication, the dragon had just left, never to return again
Zhongli wasn't sad or anything. He understood that this is simply how nature works and he only wished the best unto his foster child
Sometimes, the Ex-Archon wonders if that dragon is still alive, but those thoughts always leave him rather quickly again. It's no use pondering about the unknown
And yet, imagine the surprise on Zhongli's face when he saw another dragon roam the sky just as he finished dealing with Azhdaha alongside the Traveller
Finding an opportunity to slip away from the group, he began traveling in the direction he saw the flying creature
it took some time, but he eventually found the dragon as it rested besides a small lake, soaking in the rays of sunshine onto it's scaled skin
fascinated by it, since dragons were a rare sight to see in this day and age, he decided to approach the creature, silently as to not startle it too much
as he got closer to the dragon, the creature soon picked up a new scent in the area and opened it's big eye, now spotting the approaching Zhongli
quickly, the creature got up and began roaring at him, and that's when Zhongli noticed a particular scar on the left eye of the dragon
Could it be... was it actually you?
Your name slipped past his lips and it made you hold in the middle of your actions. Zhongli could see the uncertainty in the dragons form, so he said your name again, staying still in his spot, only a few steps away
the dragon, still unsure, took another sniff of the surrounding air, taking in the scent of the new arrival, and suddenly, memories from its time as a baby came flooding into his mind, and you recognized the man in front of you
now seeming much calmer, you got closer to Zhongli, your long neck extending towards him so that your head was right in front of him
with a smile, the Ex-Archon extends his hand as well to scratch that certain spot under your chin, like he had always done many, many years ago
at this, the dragon closed its eye and a low grumbling sound could be heard deep within it's throat.
Zhongli almost couldn't believe it. His old friend was still alive and apparently doing pretty well for itself..
for some time, the two of them just sat down in the grass, enjoying the light of the still shining sun, while Zhongli just began talking, telling you of all the things that had happened while you were gone
And you were listening to every single one of his words, feeling happy to finally be reunited with him again..
Tumblr media
Venti
Most people know about Dvalin - or Stormterror - and his connection to the anemo Archon. How he was one of the four winds that protected the nation of Mondstadt
but what the people did not know, is that there was a second dragon with the anemo Archon that had been taken in by him when it was only a small baby
as a result, the baby dragon has been raised both by Dvalin and the anemo Archon at the same time. While it learned typical dragon behaviour from Dvalin, Venti provided the baby other lessons important for its life ahead
the little dragon has always been a playful and adventurous one. It was getting into trouble quite frequently as a child, but such was the nature of freedom
Venti had always adored looking at this little dragon baby as he found the light green colour of your scales to be quite mesmerizing. He liked to think that the colour represented your connection with the Anemo element, and himself.
But what he found even more adorable was the little patch of white scales, right between the beginning of your legs and your hind legs. It was about the size of the palm of his hand, the colour never really coming through on that spot
While Venti and Dvalin engaged in the Archon war, you always decided to stay behind, rather enjoying the serenity that the nation of Mondstadt brought to you than to engage with bloody battles all the time
As time went on, you grew older and older, and Dvalin knew that the time would come where you would leave them behind. To find your own place within this world, without them by your side
and sure enough, one seemingly peaceful day, you went up to them one last time, seemingly telling your goodbyes with your eyes before you turned your back to them and flew off into the distant world ahead of you. Excited to see what was liying ahead, but also sad you had to leave them behind
many, many years have passed since that fateful day and a lot has happened since then. A mysterious traveller has appeared in the world of Teyvat, helping Venti to bring his old friend Dvalin back to his senses
Since that incident, Venti couldn't help but think back to the old times quite often, reminiscing of the memories all three of them shared. He would often wonder how you were doing these days, if you were well off..
on one such days, when he was laying beneath the tree at Windrise, thinking of old times, he did not notice a bunch of Abyss mages and their underlings approaching
when he did, it was already too late and he was surrounded by enemies. Though he tried fighting his way out, the number of enemies just seemed to increase, instead of decreasing
Venti began to worry and just as he was about to summon his old friend Dvalin for some help, a roar echoed from above the sky. All heads turned up as a huge creature descended downwards, instantly attacking the abyss mages and their hoards
for a second, the colourful scales made him think of a certain dragon, but he quickly shook off that feeling, concentrating on the battle at hand
it didn't take long until the enemies were dealt with, and as a moment of peace came to them, Venti turned and took in the familiar colour of light green scaling..
But.. that couldn't be, right? It surely was just a coincidence.. another dragon that just happened to have a similar colour to the one he once raised..
But, as the dragon remained on the ground, patiently looking at Venti, he couldn't shake off that feeling of familiarity
And then, the dragon turned to its side, showing Venti the undeniable truth of a missmatched patch of white scales among a sea of green..
It really was you...
Joy spread over Venti's face as he realized it really was his old friend that had come back to see him again
It didn't take long until he was on your back and you began ascending towards the sky again. Up there in the sky, with only the winds holding you back, Venti also summoned Dvalin to him to complete this reunion
Many roars sounded all throughout Mondstadt on this day as there were now two dragons roaming the skies of this nation...
Tumblr media
Nahida
As the god of Dendro, Nahida had always liked the nature and all of its inhabitants
she would always try to sneek away to find a spot somewhere within the rainforest where she could just sit down and listen to the sounds of nature all around her
while the sages at that time did not approve of her behaviour, she continued to do so with the excuse of wanting to form a connection between her and her nation as well as it's people
one day while she was out again, she stumbled upon a tiny dragon baby. As she got closer, she noticed that the baby appeared to be hurt quite badly, yet it still backed up when she got closer, scared of her
it took some time and gentle reassuring from Nahida's side, but eventually, the small dragon let her get close, inspecting the wounds inflicted to it
deciding that she wanted to take care of it, she used her powers to build a sort of little hideout where she nurtured the dragon back to health over the course of a few weeks
while doing so, the baby dragon began trusting her more and more, until eventually, they formed a kind of bond between them
once the baby was all healed up, it didn't dissapear like Nahida thought it would. Instead, it decided to stay with her, playing around and growing up with her
every single time Nahida managed to slip out, the two of them were always together. Either laying in the grass, listening to the nature around them, or playing around and sometimes, she even helped the little dragon in learning how to fly
when they got tired, they lay together on the ground, the dragon having it's head on Nahida's lap as she carefully caressed the top of its head where the beatiful, deep green scales where less sharp than everywhere else on its body. The colour reminded her of the rainforest itself sometimes..
but what she found almost a bit more beautiful were those missmatched eyes of the dragon. One in a beautiful, piercing blue colour while the other was deep red, a stark contrast between the two
But then came the day where Nahida was whisked away by the Sages and sealed into the Sanctuary
it took hundreds of years until the traveller arrived in Sumeru and with the help of some others finally freeed Nahida of her everlasting prison
Thankful to have finally escaped, she did her best to handle everything by herself the best she could. She guided her nation into a new direction and took care of everything that the Sages had taken over
which led to her not once having left the city since she has been freeed. Though Nahida yearned to just go outside and sit in the nature again, she had obligations to take care of, that required her urgent attention
until the Traveller came around another time, insisting on her taking a break for once. In his words, all those problems would still be there once she returned from the break, but her well being was important as well, especially for her people she needed to be in good shape
so, taking him up on the offer, the Traveller, Nahida and Paimon went into the rainforest like she wanted to. While wandering around, they passed the old hideout Nahida had once built for that baby dragon
Memories flooded her mind upon seeing it and she smiled a bit, though it appeared to be a bit sad. The Traveller noticed, but before he could ask Nahida about it, they heard some rustling behind them
Weapon at the ready, the Traveller was prepared to attack should the need arise
And then, from behind some trees, a dragon emerged, eyes fixed onto them
and Nahida instantly recognized you. Not because of the deep green colour of your scales that only seemed to have become even more beautiful over the years. But because of those disscoloured eyes that she was never able to forget
you seemed to recognize her as well, showing no signs of aggression at all, which made the Traveller lower his weapon again
finally reunited again after so many years, both of you seemed happy to be within the presence of each other again
you gently pressed the tip of your nose into her face, gently blowing air into her face which made her giggle a bit. She then climbed onto your back, resting there while the now four of you continued this walk through the rainforest
And even after that, you continued to stay by Nahida's side, always there to protect her should anything ever happen to her again. You were ready to make them regret their decision if people decided to ever mess with her again...

-> I am like you - so never abandon me. In this world, it will be me and you side by side.
-> gn!reader (no pronouns mentioned) with platonic brother Scaramouche! Spoilers for Scaramouche and Ei's backstories! Scaramouche is referred to by his real name!
-> Small mentions of death - not detailed! Unhealthy family dynamics?
Tumblr media
Kunikuzushi came into this world as a mere experiment into the making of pupets. He wasn't meant to resemble the Electro Archon as he was merely a test to the limits of such technology.
While Ei didn't expect much to anything from it, yet she was still disappointed in him or rather disappointed of how he turned out. He was too emotional, too human perhaps, for her desired outcome. An imperfection.
This did not deter her, however. The second time she decided to create a puppet, she wanted something closer to the end result she wished. So, she created you. But even you were not what she hoped for.
Yes, you did resemble her - like how a child would resemble their mother, but that was not what she wanted. As neither of you aged or changed it was easy to mistake Kunikuzushi as your twin - the resemblance between you two was even more apparent than with your mother!
But what Ei seeked was a clone-like puppet to rule Inazuma in her stead - under her command, while she would seek Eternity for Inazuma in the plane of Euthymia. Neither of you fit into her standards, as she saw you to be too kind hearted, too human to rule the nation of eternity.
So you were cast out. Simply thrown away like used toys after she finished playing with them... She saw this as a kindness - but it seemed more like she felt guilty. That she felt like she owed you two that much after giving you life when you clearly felt like any other human.
Together you would stumble through the country side as wanderers, all while trying to learn everything about the world around you. Endlessly seeking something. Something to give you meaning to your existence, a reason to life. But if your own creator - your own mother turned you away, what purpose could your life possibly serve?
No matter where or how far you wandered together, it never ended well for you or those around you... They would either betray you or die - which your brother saw as another form of betrayal. Especially when the small boy had promised to...
At least through it all, you had each other. During the freezing nights spent sleeping outside - huddled together to avoid the biting winds, or days were you had to resort into leaning against one another after not having eaten in days. Helping each other through every nightmare...
Though you might not have completely noticed it, but all your hardships had changed Kunikuzushi over time. He was colder and more suspicious of others - always asking after their intentions. He smiled and laughed less... It was what he had to do to make sure he would never be betrayed again, it was to keep you both safe.
You were the only one to never betray him, and the only constant in his life... He knew he could always count on you, but he was becoming more paranoid. He kept thinking and dreaming of you either dying - with him unable to protect you, or you joining with the rest of the world in betraying him.
In a twisted sense, he was rather glad you were meek and dependent on him. It lowered the chances of you betraying him, unless influenced by someone else - which he wouldn't let happen. As well your own fear of abandonment wouldn't allow that to happen. But not to worry, as he was just as loyal to you. He would never let anyone or anything harm you, just as long as you stood by his side loyaly.
As he decended from his hopeful, happy and naive personality, he would come to cherish it in you. He wanted protect this part of you at all costs. You could still see the world in that sweet innocent way after all that happened to you, while he couldn't afford to do so - lest he put you both in danger. It was a sacrifice he was more than willing to make for you.
Even when the Fatui picked you up and he became the Balladeer, he wasn't opposed to hurting his fellow Harbingers or any Fatui member if they dared to threatened you or your life. You were his light in the darkness and the reason he actually wanted to create the world the Tsaritsa spoke of.
He never let you see that side of him though, you never met Scaramouche and for good reason. To you he was simply Kunikuzushi - your older brother, who protected you - even if his protection meant essentially locking you inside, unless with him of course.
The Fatui and its Harbingers essentially hated and despised him. He was cruel and never in a good mood, often screaming for any reason to anyone. While with you he was sweet and gentle, making jokes and doing menial tasks to keep you entertained.
You were the last piece of Kunikuzushi he had left and he would let you - and only you, keep it.
Tumblr media
After seeing his backstory I've just been wanting to hold and comfort him - so I'm just milking out content from that, but I do have others coming ^^3
Feel free to reblog :)

𝐆𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 -- 𝑰𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝑨𝑮𝑨𝑼... (𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒕) 𝐏𝐓. 𝟏 
𝐏𝐓. 𝟐: (𝐱)
(𝐰𝐜): 730
𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: The creator is reincarnated into the world and everyone goes apeshit.
(𝐀/𝐍): Why do I wanna be a baby so bad... Is it the daddy issues
𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠(𝐬): The babies go through life-threatening tests (Seriously, do not give these people your babies), reader gets separated from her mother and the mom doesn’t really care
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆
    Ever since their beloved creator died, every newborn has to go through tests determine if they are the previous creator reincarnated. This is non-negotiable; the parent will have to serve time if they deny this law, even if the baby doesn’t display features of the creator.
    The first test is their eyes. Their creator has white eyes to distinct them from any other. It isn’t often babies are born with white eyes, so if they do past this test, they are put under immediate watch.
    The second test is based on their ears. The creators ears are pointed, making them resemble an elf. Because of this, pointed ears are highly adored and are a huge beauty standard.
    The last test is completed in segments. They are first placed around the more docile creatures, such as cats, dogs, foxes, squirrels, etc. They will either leave the baby alone or flock toward them. The latter will allow them to continue onto the next phase.     The second part of this phase, they will be placed in the center of a herd of slime. Again, if they flock toward the infant, they will move onto the next phase. For the last part of this phase, they’re offered to a pack of Hillichurl. By this point, their status is practically guaranteed, so the archons will be there to spectate to make sure the baby stays safe.The Hilichurls will either accept or deny the baby.
    If they are accepted, a celebration will be thrown and the baby’s birthday will become a national holiday, celebrated by all. The mother is congratulated for giving birth to their divine creator, but unfortunately, the baby will be moved to a palace and the mother will not come with.
    As compensation, the mother will be given enough funds to live the rest of her life peacefully, but it is unlikely they will see the baby past this point.
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚
    You are the most pampered baby in Teyvat. You are treated with the utmost care; anything you even look at will be offered to you immediately.
    The second you cry, someone is there to coddle you and tend to your needs.
    There will always be at least one archon with you. Every week, they will hold a little “ritual” where they sit in a circle and you’re placed in the middle. Whoever you touch first--on your own--will be assigned the role of your protector. They can remove anyone from your general area as they see fit; how much they do this varies on which archon you have chosen.
    Before Nahida came along, you chose Venti the most often, because the others intimidated you. Venti is extremely salty that you choose Nahida most often now and suggested a rule that an archon can’t go twice in a row.
    The others agree fairly quickly, so now whoever protected you before is kicked from the circle.
    There is now a designated nap-time for everyone in Teyvat. Anyone else in Teyvat that needs nap-time will do it when you do. Even if they are unable to nap, they’re required to keep their volume down. Construction can’t be scheduled if it overlaps your nap-time.
    Every month or so, there is an event where you travel through Teyvat and meet everyone you possibly can. You are given toys, food, luxury items, etc. If you were to reject someone openly, they are shunned; the public firmly believes that you are like a cat in the sense that you can predict evil in people. It’s not likely they will stay employed.
    However, anyone you accept will be given amazing opportunities, as they are seen as good luck. They will be given high-paying job offers, contracts with important people, and even a chance to play with you themselves because you’re so fond of them.
    After you’re confirmed as the creator, you’re name becomes very common. For babies, It’s the highest honor to be named after you, as they won’t be close to you otherwise. Not until you’ve reached an independent age.
    Anyone that requests to visit you personally gets a background check. Anyone with a criminal record that may put you in danger is rejected immediately. Because of this, you haven’t met any of the harbringers.
                                                        𓆩♡𓆪

Little One
summary : wanderer stumbles upon a surprise— a child, specifically. he does what he believes is right.
contains : an abandoned toddler ; the drabble is set to take place in the period after the 'inversion of genesis' interlude quest
word count : 1k
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The bustle of Sumeru City once night fell was nothing more than a hassle for Wanderer. The calls of the merchants and the chatters of the common folk were too loud. The wilderness beyond the city, however, was welcoming. Unlike the outdoors in Inazuma, thunder and lightning didn't follow his every step, and the serenity in silence was all he could ask for after hours of buzzing akademiya scholars.
He didn't venture out too far, for going south towards Gandharva Vile would only mean to walk into the forest rangers area, and north were too many hilichurl camps ready to disturb his peace. And so, his chosen path was towards Vissudha Field; not too far, but far enough.
Wanderer kicked at a stone at his feet, watching as it rolled downhill before claiming its place under a tree. From here, he could see the city without having to hear the unwanted banter between customers and merchants over prices, or the boastful bluffs of prideful scholars. To be alone meant to be at peace… or at least that was his belief.
Peace, what a delicate thing it is. Even the most insignificant of actions from anyone was enough to shatter it. But that only meant that you must treasure it, be careful with this fragile feeling.
The silence of the forest quickly disappeared and the Wanderer turned his head at the sound of crying. A scowl made its way to his face, but betraying his expressions, Wanderer got up. Earlier, he didn't have a destination nor a motive in mind, but now he moved with intentions to find out the source of the sound.
Any child could have run off from home while playing, only to be terrified once the moon rose. Wanderer picked up his pace, sensing the crying to come from somewhere near. Whatever was so terrifying about the this part of the forest? Definitely not the green grass nor the Sumeru Roses.
But those questions quickly dissipated when he spotted a child, far too young to have ran off— let alone walk— away from home. And... hilichurls. A 'tsk' left his mouth faster than he could think, and upon nearing the scene, he saw that the hilichurls simply stared, occasionally speaking something in a language long forgotten to time. And much to the Wanderer's surprise, the hilichurls merely walked off at the sight of him. Were the hilichurls only checking on the child for a moment? Hmm... maybe monsters too have their humanity. But those fleeting thoughts weren't much pondered upon because—
"Mama!" The child, now no longer crying, stretched out its hands towards him, as if asking to be picked up. Wanderer had never snapped his head in such a manner before.
"Who are you calling— ugh..." he sighed, knowing his words were futile, for they made no sense to the babbling baby.
"Mama?" The child once more said, this time as if discerning that the one present wasn't its mother. Wander sighed once more, kneeling down in front of the child.
"You're all dirty," he whispered, making note of the fresh dirt upon the child's hands and clothes. It wasn't long before it was left here, at the mercy of the wilderness. Not the smartest idea if anyone were to ask him.
"Were you too abandoned by your mother?" He asked, not anticipating an answer— not that the child had the ability to say anything other than—
"Mama..."
In the full moon's light, Wanderer was able to make out the tears filling the child's eyes, and he sighed once more.
"Such delicate beings humans are," he muttered, plucking a sweet flower from the ground before waving it in front of the child. Much to his expectation, the child had quickly forgotten the idea of crying as it stretched its hands above its head.
"Mama!"
Wandered furrowed his brows. Did this child even know what 'mama' was? Or did it just keep repeating what it heard? He wouldn't know.
A huff left his lips as Wanderer watched in amusement as the child took the sweet flowers from his hand, one hand clenching onto the stem of the flower, and the other taking his finger. But as soon as the child was occupied with the flower, a set of questions floated into his mind.
What should he do with the child? He couldn't leave it out for wild animals to find. But he had no business babysitting a child he didn't know. So, what now?
"Hey!" Wanderer tsked, pushing the hand of the baby away from its mouth using not more than his forefinger. He knew he had power to take down more than just humans, so to be with a child, he was more careful and cautious than he would accept he was.
"Flowers are not for you to eat," he scolded. What was he even doing, talking to a baby? But, much to his surprise, the baby blinked at him, then threw the flower down. Not what he meant for it to do, but a good enough try.
"Do I take you— why would I take you with me?" He thought out loud, waving a finger in front of the baby, amusing it just enough to keep it occupied. Should it start crying, it might attract more than just a few hilichurls.
"The traveller is a goody two shoes, but if I remember right, they are to leave soon— far too busy with journeying Teyvat to look after you." Despite his initial reluctance, it took not long for Wanderer to reach a decision.
  –
"Oh? Who is this little friend of yours?" Nahida turned around, hearing footsteps and the babbling of a baby.
"Someone," Wanderer answered half-heartedly before the child in his hands pulled at his hat, resulting in him making a sound alike the hissing of a cat.
"You didn't kidnap someone's child, did you?!" Came the yells of Paimon along with the traveller's stare, both astonished at the sight.
"If you're so smart, why don't you figure it out?"
Tumblr media
A/n : I had this random thought: 'how would he behave with a child?' And that thought now resulted in this haha! I initially thought of Xiao in this scenario but ended up writing this first ( keep an eye out for the Xiao fic! )
Ps : I couldn't find of two pictures of wanderer with a similar colour scheme as my blog for making the headers... but i guess this works, kinda??? Oh and, if you liked this, then perhaps check out my Kazuha drabble!

Hi,
I saw you were looking for requests and I have an idea.
So lyney was tasked by Arlecchino (i think i spelled her name right) to become "friends" with one of the tsaritsas enemies in order to lure them into captivity for questioning But he accidentally became actual friends with this said enemy, and when they find out he's afraid they'll hate him, but they just tell him, "I don't hate you, just the person you're working for." And he gets super happy but now has to try and help them avoid getting captured because he knows bad things will happen to the reader if they're brought in. And can you make this platonic?
You don't have to do this, but it'd be great if you could
꒰ 🃏 ꒱ Target to actually friends. . ☆
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hii! This was super interesting to think n draft about!! It got me excited tbh!! I haven’t wrote a lot of platonic stuff so hopefully it’s fine 2 your liking !!
Tumblr media
★☆﹒Being tasked to befriend you was not really unexpected from “father” but unusual to be friends with the tsarita’s enemy. Something must have happen or picked interest of you that Lyney is fit for this mission.
★☆﹒he probably first saw you when collecting materials for his upcoming show, then he would “accidentally” bump into you and that’s how your “friendship” started. Both you && Lyney had a pretty good friendship, even first meeting you guys kinda just clicked!
★☆﹒Lyney would report back to “father”, arlecchino, on what things you have said that could possibly lead to clues they need for, or just how close this “friendship” bond is coming along with lyney using his charm to decisive you.This mission might be easier than he thought! But, he also didn’t think this was right too.
★☆﹒His gut feelings tell him “this is wrong, they are a sweet person don’t take advantage of them!” He did genuinely like talking to you as he can feel a little free being with you other than his siblings. He didn’t want to ruin your friendship because of this. It’s been messing with his head that even lynette && freminet ask him on what’s weighing on his mind. ★☆﹒It takes some thought for lyney to say his feelings of the mission, his task, to be “friends” with you. Then it hits him, he really does consider you as a friend instead of just some target/enemy to lure for his “father”, or arlecchino.
★☆﹒You guys were taking a stroll in a quiet field chatting away as anyone would, that is until you stopped and made Lyney to stop, turn to you looking in concern. “I know you’re only bribing me to be friends and luring me to be captured, lyney.”
★☆﹒Lyney was stunned. He didn’t know you actually knew. He was about to start apologizing to gain even the slightest sympathy from you when you said, “I don’t hate you lyney, only the person your work for.” Lyney felt joy and surprised. Why don’t you hate him? I mean, he did do this Mission arlecchino assigned him, so wouldn’t that mean you would despise him too? But none of this thoughts right now, he’s just happy you don’t hate him right now. He hugged you saying he was scared that your guys’ friendship would ended cause he really did enjoy being with you and hanging out together.
★☆﹒Lyney would immediately tell you everything about the mission and how it would go, him luring you somewhere quiet and they would sneak attack you making you fall unconscious. He didn’t get any further details on what they would do with you once they got hold of you. But Lyney knows deep know something bad will happen to you. As a magician, he knows ways to disguise himself as someone completely else, he immediately started brainstorming ideas on how to completely hide from the Fatui. ★☆﹒Lyney would also at his end, will try making up early big plausible answers on what happened to you. He will also tell you on how to avoid spies that might secretly be searching for you, trying his best to keep you safe with his limited information he can get from “father”.
★☆﹒overall, lyney is happy you don’t hate him, he really liked spending time with you and being best friends with each other is super fun too. He feels like he can finally be himself not needing to worry on upholding this mask on betrayal. He hopes soon you both can go back to normal on how you guys went to do anything and it would be super fun like he has known since forever.

dont look down.
kazuha x reader
warnings: implied suicide, angst no comfort
εїз
Today, Kazuha decided to go out for a nature walk.
It was going pretty pleasant. Some butterflies landed on his face and hair, a chipmunk offered him a little peanut, and he helped a boar that was stuck on a tree branch.
He thinks with a smile, that when he gets home, he'll have to tell you all about what happened on his little adventure today.
The grass felt fluffy and tall where Kazuha was walking at the moment. All of a sudden, he felt a presence, along with a strange sense of urgency.
Kazuha stopped smiling. He furrowed his eyebrows, and looked up towards a tall mountain not too far from where he was. The mountain was too tall to see what was going on at the top, so Kazuha hesitantly decided to climb the mountain.
εїз
The boy was in the middle of climbing the steep stone wall. He slipped– yet he saved himself. Kazuha held onto the side of the mountain in slight shock, before sighing and continuing.
...Splat!
Kazuha froze.
What was that sound?
The presence he felt was gone.
Oh well, he can't find out unless he gets to the top of the mountain, right?
εїз
Kazuha pulls himself atop of the mountain with a huff.
He looks around. There was nothing here, he thought, until he spotted a pair of smaller shoes.
The boy walks up to them. They were neatly placed near the edge of the cliff. Someone must've been here.
...Oh. Kazuha smiles, yet still confused. He realizes these were your shoes, but you seem to be no where on the mountain.
He looks around, calling your name a few times, before giving up. Kazuha's still very confused as to why your shoes are up here.
He stands next to your shoes, and looks out at the stars. Wow, it really has gotten late. He spent so much time trying to climb up here.
Then it hits him.
Kazuha's eyes widen and loses it's shine. His shoulders slack, and his breath stutters.
He is too scared to look down.

Im absolutely in love with the teenager!reader fics omg , 😭 please write more! It can be with other characters (like kaeya or ayato ) or simply continue the ones u wrote so far! Im so deprived of fartherFigure!men 😭😭
Kazuha with a Teenager!Reader Part 3
Tumblr media
Father figure men? Me too, anon, me too. Anyway, if you saw my pinned post, you would know that I don't write for Ayato or Kaeya. Feel free to request other characters on the list, though.
Previous part here.
Strictly platonic. I made this angst-y, be warned.
Tumblr media
Kazuha:
You didn't trust anyone. Your family was no acception. In fact, they didn't like you the second you were born.
They wanted to do an abortion. But, once they found out that the Raiden Shogun herself ordered her men to lend Mora to your family, they changed their minds. The Mora was supposed to be funds to take care of you, since you were born from a poor family.
They decided to keep you, for the Mora.
Those idiots wanted to let you starve, to not do anything for you. But, if you died or went missing, the funds would stop arriving. They gave you the essentials, just enough to see another day, but nothing more. You felt hungry. It was torture every single day, not being allowed to die.
One day, you were left alone with your careless mother. The rest of them went off somewhere they didn't bother telling you. The woman was in her room, probably applying make up. The thing is, she wasn't watching you. And, you saw the front door. You saw it unlocked. Plus, this door was the quietest one in the house, and the woman was in another room. Lucky you.
Taking your shoes off as to not make any noisy footsteps, you fled, not caring to close the door behind you.
You stopped to rest at a place in the city that wasn't too crowded. Feeling uneasiness, you looked behind and gulped. You were sweating. Not because you were running, but because you were nervous.
Inazuma city was a place you've never left, yet have never seen. It was unfamiliar to you. You didn't know which way to go, you even forgot how to get back to the house.
Spotting a restaurant nearby, you noticed how hungry you felt. When's the last time you ate? Three— Four days ago? You must be starving. Yet, you didn't have any Mora, so you sat down next to the restaurant.
You sighed. What are you going to do now? You had barely any food during your life. Now, you didn't have any food. Why was your life so messed up?
Then the idea of death came across your mind. You weren't allowed to... But... Death sounds so peaceful.
You zoned out. The next thing you knew, a cat was cuddling up against you. Flinching away from the cat, it meowed. You've never seen a cat before. Maybe through your window, but this was different.
Tears were threatening to spill. You fought them, which was easy since you had to do this every day at the house. Sighing once again, you carefully pet the cat. It purred.
You subconsciously pet your new friend while thinking about what will end today.
You barely noticed the sounds of clothes shuffling. Turning your eyes but not your head to the sound, it was someone. It was a person, who decided to kneel down next to you.
He was on one of his knees, elbow resting on the other. You noticed he was smiling... A comforting sweet smile, just for you. You then turned your head to get a full view of him. He had Inazuman clothes, white hair with a hint of red. You wonder, why? He only crouched down and you're beyond confused.
"I suggest straightening your posture, you'll get back pain," The man spoke, averting his eyes to look forward. Does he confuse you with someone else..? You wanted to speak, to ask this man a question. But, you weren't allowed to. You were never allowed to.
The man gave another reassuring smile to you. Were you given permission..? Well, you'll be gone by the end of the day. You at least wanted to try new things before you end yourself.
"Is—" You immediately stopped. He looked towards you, expectantly. To be honest, you haven't tried speaking your whole life. This was so... New.
"Go on," He encouraged. "Is this... Your cat?" You asked. Oh, Archons, you seem so stupid right now. Your voice almost cracked, your eyes water, and your trembling. You even stopped petting the cat, in fear of what the man might do. You weren't allowed to speak, why did you do this?!
Instead, he chuckled. "No, it's not mine. Just thought I'd join you." He crossed his legs, acting more casual. "Are you doing alright?" The man asked with worry, but still a kind smile on his face.
Were you doing alright? Was this a trick..? Your mouth hung open the slightest bit, basically having a staring contest with the stranger. The cat meowed, snapping you out of your trance.
Such a kind question... Were you doing alright. No one's ever asked that before. Wait, are you doing alright? You gulped once again, and nodded yes. It was a lie, the first lie you've ever made, and you were scared.
The man then had a worried smile. "I have a feeling you're not. Are you perhaps feeling hungry?" He tilted his head. This boy knows you're lying... So, why isn't he punishing you?? He even asked you if you were hungry?! Your face tensed up in attempt to not let out any tears. You looked at the restaurant next to you, to escape his gaze. But, you got distracted by all the delicious foods.
He chuckled once again. "It seems you are. What would you like? I heard they added a new dish to their menu, pizza." Your head snapped towards him, still fighting the tears. "I take that as a yes," He laughed softly and stood up. "You can wait here."
You looked down at your lap, eyes wide. The cat meowed again, falling asleep. Your breath quickened because you were so hungry, also because of the fact you were getting a real meal, for the first time in your life.
When the man came back with the plate of food, he put a hand to your back while sitting down next to you. Closer than before. He also handed you your food.
You stared at it with huge sparkling eyes. It... Looked so expensive. So delicious. You then thought what you've ate all your life. Usually an apple, a bread that wasn't even toasted nor had butter, half a sunsettia... Was this a dream?
Your stomach growled. The man notices your hesitation. "It's all yours." You couldn't keep the tears in. Your eyes clenched closed, and you covered your face, whimpering.
He put a hand to your back once again, without letting go. You knew you were being so stupid... But it seems like you couldn't control your body.
You couldn't help it... You hiccuped while slowly turning towards him with closed eyes, and leaning towards his embrace. It felt so foreign, just what was happening right now?
He pet your hair slowly and whispered, "It's okay... The food will get cold soon."
You ate in silence. When you finished, the boy took the plate and gave it to the restaurant owner and sat back down next to you.
You sniffed, and tried to thank the boy by bowing your head. He laughed and pet your hair. He thinks he's gained your trust. Now, to the real question.
"Where are your parents?"
You froze. That was the only sign he needed, to know that something's up with your relationship with your family. He also noticed how you didn't have shoes. What a sad, lonely, poor soul.
He held your cheek gently. "Don't worry, I have a small house in the city I don't often use. It has lots of supplies like food, you can stay there." He smiled. The man rubbed your tear stained cheek. You tried muttering a small "Thank you," feeling shocked.
Just then, a lady came up to you. "Kazuha, what have you been doing?? The whole crew has been waiting for you this whole time. You said you would be there an hour ago!"
The man let out a nervous laugh. "I'm sorry, Huixing. I'll be there in a minute." The woman turned back around. "Hmph. You better be, or else Beidou's doing the mission without you." And, she's gone.
He turned his head towards you. "Sadly... I have to leave now. My house is over there, it's pretty close." He pointed. "What's your name?" He placed his hand back down on his lap.
You gripped your legs, nervously. "I don't have one." You furrowed your eyebrows, thinking of the sad thought.
The man's smile disappeared. He was left with a heartbroken expression. A child with no identity... It could make anyone's mind swirl with rage. He'd have to arrest those idiots who never cared.
"Ah. Well then, you can decide your name. Do you have any ideas?" He said, trying to make the situation positive. You thought, what would be a good name you like? Hmm.
"Y/n..?" Y/n sounds good. You looked at the man, nervous yet curious for his response. He was now smiling. "Now, try introducing yourself." This was probably to get you to feel more comfortable with your new name.
"M-My name is Y/n..." The man encouraged you to say it again, with more confidence. So, you straightened your posture, like how he told you so before, and stated, "My name is Y/n."
He made a closed eyes smile, and silently clapped. "It was nice meeting you, Y/n. My name is Kazuha." And just like that, he left aswell.
You sat for a moment. All that just happened...
Hearing a "meow," you looked towards the cat near your lap, then towards the house you should probably go to. Maybe you can bring your new furry friend.
Hm. Guess today wasn't the end. More like, a new beginning.

so…
currently trying to write for a small series with a platonic! ragnvindr! sister reader… have a few drafts but im going through a brain block rn so this will just be a small description for the first few parts. the first two parts will be based off of fourth of july by sufjan stevens. i think you know where this is going with the ragnvindr fam lore.
after your adoptive fathers death and the fight between your brothers , diluc sells the mansion and leaves you to the winery by yourself for years to search for answers. kaeya moves into the city, with no other choice left, and you barely see him. he cant stand to even look at you and he knows you hate him.
you also now hate going into the city of freedom but sneak away from the winery whenever you can to visit crepus’ grave.
but one night, sometime after everything that has caused the downfall of your family, you visit your father’s grave after a bad day. and then he visits you in your dream and he talks to you. after the dream you put much thought to what he said and finally gain the courage to run away from everything and choose your own fate.
you travel and adventure to your hearts desire and then decide to settle in liyue for a while after a year or two, only now traveling occasionally.
then one day, there in liyue, you meet a certain blonde poet…
Tumblr media
this series is inspired by In a house, Not a home from @ranalatus !

I wanna be just like you!
Character: Kazuha x Sister! Reader Female pronouns Genre: Fluff/comfort Request: Hii! I don't really see any platonic content so I was wondering if you could write about Kazuha having a little teen sister that wants to be like him?? :D A/N: You have the same hair color as him and a pyro vision. this is also really short, my brain can't think anymore
Tumblr media
Kazuha didn't want you involved with the situation at hand, the plan to leave and keep your safe set inside his mind. His sister, on the other hand, didn't like this.
You showed up on Watatsumi Island, worried out of your mind and slightly panicking because there were three enemy soldiers on your heel.
That was when you got your vision.
Proud, worried, and angry, Kazuha didn't know what to feel at that moment. But the thought to keep you safe was and is on the top of the list.
On board the Alcor, you have your responsibilities as while as Kazuha. You work together on them as while as on your own.
To the crew, it's like watching a duckling with its mother.
Evenings are training time.
Tomo had been helping Kazuha in his sister's training, but now it was left to him. But with the difference of visions, what he had you doing wasn't working for you.
Accidentally setting something on fire is a given. Beidou really helps Kazuha out when it comes to his sister's vision.
Head pats and likes to mess up your hair on purpose
Trying to make haiku's like him but not being too good at it. He'll tease you about it, but in the end, will help you come up with better words.
Knowing you have a brother that you can go to for anything, even feminine problems
You're not allowed to touch alcohol, but Kazuha is the person who gives you your first taste.
Constant teasing, outsiders would think he can't take anything seriously when it comes to you when it's the opposite.
It's okay though because you do tease him about being friends with the traveler.
Kazuha is prepared to do whatever to make sure you live a long and happy life, whether he's in it or not. He lost Tomo, he is not going to lose you.

Welcome to Teyvat (Genshin Impact Self Aware)
You try not to panic. When you woke up you were greeted by blue sky and not by ceiling of your room. You were lying on the grass and when you sat up, you felt the breeze caressing your skin. You wanted to think that this is a dream, but you can feel too much for to be it. The texture of grass, the cold breeze, the smell of some flowers and trees, the sounds of birds and other animals.
But how did you end up here? Looking around you feel like you do recognize this place but you’re not sure from where. And then you heard footsteps behind you and someone calling you, the voice of one of your most favorite character. -“I’m glad you’re alright (Y/n).” You turned around to see the team you use most of time when you play Genshin. “Is this is real?” you asked yourself, not believing that they stand now in front of you. They slowly approached you, probably not wanting to scare you. They smiled and held out their hand to you. -“You don’t have to be afraid, I won’t let anything bad happened to you.” they said. You slowly placed your hand in theirs, feeling the warmth of another living being. “So this has to be real…but how?” you can’t help but wonder. -“Welcome in Teyvat (Y/n).” they smiled again, holding onto your hand. You smiled back but deep inside you felt uncomfortable, like something is not right. You should be happy to be here but you can’t stop thinking… how did you end up here in first place?

unexpected nostalgia - k. kazhua, k. ayato & k. ayaka
Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary; you hated this but it seemed like your sibling was having the time of their lives as they get to relive having you as their baby sibling.
genre; scenarios, fluff, familial relationship, ooc kazuha and kamisatos???, angst at kazuha's part (if you squint?)
[platonic] [gender never mentioned]
a/n; i dont have much to say but before i posted my recent fic, it took me a while to get back into writing skjdksdjj i hope this is good and that you enjoy despite how long it took for me to write this also kazuha came home a while ago but it was days before the yoimiya banner leak so im a little bummed bc i want her <;/3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
kaedehara kazuha
you really wonder how this happened, one minute you were exploring past the gates of liyue and now you're back to being a baby. it was a sudden event for the both of you, of course it would be sudden, you turned into a baby! kazuha was more than well versed in taking care of you, often having to do so when you were both younger.
"what a turn of event, hm?" he was still calm as ever. you can only whine at how calm he was. how dare he be so calm about this?! "don't cry dear, we'll figure something out. though it is nostalgic to have you like this." he has a fond smlie on his face as he holds you.
"dad used to help me hold you right when you were first born. we were really inseparable, and we still are." you want to be a little frustrated that your older brother was so casual about this but the way he talked so fondly about such memories you didn't remember, you want to let him have this for a little longer. "time really passed too quickly."
you could only respond with a tiny huff, making him smile. "i think for now we should find baizhu... he might help." he chuckled as he swaddles you in his haori to keep you warm on the way.
his heart feels lighter knowing that you will always be by his side and he will be by yours, nothing separating you both after everything.
Tumblr media
kamisato ayaka & kamisato ayato
ayato laughed at you. he was so shocked that he laughed. it was almost unbelievable if it weren't for the fact it happened in front of the elder siblings. ayaka, being the dear sister she was, immediately checked for any injury.
"are you okay?!" she pressed her hands on your cheeks as she examined your face and then checked your body. unfortunately, as a baby, you were very ticklish. you start bursting out giggles as her hands ran across your tiny body. she sighed in relief upon hearing your laugh, "well, at least you're in good shape aside from turning into a baby." ayato had kept quiet when ayaka started to worry, soon smiling fondly as he heard your giggles.
"we better head back and find out how long this may last." he suggested. taking it upon himself to hold you.
"right. everyone back at the estate might worry about how we got a child though... do you think thoma can help us?"
"i'm sure we'll be fine." he hummed. and as expected, gossip runs fast in the estate, and thoma is quick to assign the two kamisatos in the weird misadventure.
"i'm sure she'll be okay. perhaps kokomi may help?"
"though it is cute to see our little kamisato sibling be a baby again." ayato's fingers rub at your chubby cheek before pinching it lightly, making you attempt to smack his hand away. "it's much more different now though, i feel like a parent." he chuckled. it wasn't far off how he really felt most of the time despite spending a lot of time to work and learn to uphold the clan.
"baby y/n is just too cute to resist!" ayaka giggled, joining the eldest brother in coddling you. going to find how long this lasts can wait, your siblings are too busy spoiling you now that they're old enough to do it.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> The Conqueror of Demons is made the caretaker and teacher of a young adeptus - appointed by Rex Lapis himself.
-> Reader has no gender or pronouns mentioned! Purely platonic! Fluff and cuteness! Xiao might be ooc! Reader has a wound - not detailed!
Tumblr media
Xiao almost couldn't believe his own ears as Rex Lapis explained to him his wish. He wished for him - the Vigilant Yaksha and the Conqueror of Demons, to raise an adeptus child... He stared blankly at the man with his sharp eyes slightly widened, as if the other had suddenly grown two heads.
Slowly he turned his gaze down to you. You didn't appear to be particularly intimidated by him, you looked more shy than afraid of him anyway. You stood slightly behind the Geo Archon, poorly hiding behid his long leg with your fists holding tightly onto the material of his pants for comfort.
Only one question came to mind; Why him?
Out of all of Rex Lapis' adepti, like Madame Ping and Cloud Retainer - who had already had dealings with raising and training adepti or human children, why him? Sure, Madame Ping was quite elderly now, but she was still a capable adeptus and Cloud Retainer had never turned away unfortunate children she came across...
Even Moon Carver would have been a more fitting choice than him!
Xiao - of course, refused. Though he didn't relish upon it, he questioned the Archon's reasoning for choosing him. Had Rex Lapis finally gone mad? He of all knew his sins and bad karma, how could he provide a good environment for a child?
Even an adeptus child was still a child. He barely had contact with other beings and he certainly didn't have experience with children - human or adepti. Even if he had the desire to approach them, his karma would surely cause them harm...
But given it was a task he was assigned by Rex Lapis... He couldn't refuse in the end. Had it been anyone else, he would have turned them down and left them where they stood. But after everything the Archon had done for him, he couldn't deny any request.
With Xiao's acceptance, you reluctantly let go of the tall male as he told you that Xiao would take care of you from now on and train you to use your adepti powers. Your eyes pleaded for him not to go, but he simply smiled while patting your hair gently before turning to leave.
You stood in silence staring at the floor and he at you as Zhongli casually walked away, leaving you alone on the balcony of Wangshu Inn... Neither of you knew what to do next and the silence was almost suffocating. Finally Xiao let out a loud sigh before motioning you to follow him. Your training would begin effective immediately.
He often found himself in conflict with pushing you to your limits while training due to your adeptus blood - and not wishing to put you in danger due to your young age. He was a demanding teacher, but you were eager to learn and even more eager to prove yourself. Still, he did have his soft moments with you...
“I've told you, you don't need to impress me. Your recklessness is going to be the end of you - and me.” He said as he wrapped a cloth over your hand.
During your first years as his pupil he barely stood five feet near you, afraid that his bad karma would harm you. But now here he was, bandaging your wounds for the nth time... You were either highly resistant to it or possibly even immune, who could say. As long as it wasn't harming you it did not matter.
You remained silent as you watched his rough hands carefully conseal your wound. This was far from the first time you had joined him in battle and done something to cause yourself to get hurt...
He would never yell or shout at you for this though, instead he would scold you with an annoyed expression on his face. At first you believed he truly was annoyed by you, that you were a burden to him. In truth he was just concerned for your well-being, you were his responsibility after all...
And he had grown to care for you. You had spent years together and would likely spend countless more considering your long lifespans, it would have difficult not to care for each other. Though he rarely showed it and said it even less. Years with you had made him have a soft spot for you with him giving you pats of approval and encouragement.
“You have always been my greatest achievement. You will grow and surpass me one day, I only hope I will be there to witness it.” You looked up at him in pure shock - eyes round and mouth slightly agape. Never had you expected such words from the Conqueror of Demons...
“So don't try to impress me. Just do your best and stop being reckless, I'm proud enough from just that.” He finally raised his gaze to look into your eyes, they had become rather glossy from his words.
You nodded your head before letting your eyes fall back down to your bandaged hand to avoid his serious gaze. Tears threatened to spill down your red cheeks as a smile formed on your lips.
He was proud of you...
Some decades age you wouldn't have dreamed of such words being said to you, especially by him. Deep down you had always known from the way he looked at you and talked about you to Zhongli - but hearing him say it was more special. Something you never knew you had needed...
The next time you were out on patrol it was clear you had taken his words to heart. Your focus was on your enemy and taking them out as efficiently as possible, leaving you with barely a bruise instead of needing stiches. He was proud, and he told you as much.
Tumblr media
Reluctant mentor is such a good trope and I think Xiao fits in it perfectly!
Any interaction with this post is appreciated <3

Hello! If its ok can i request a pt 2 of reincarnated as the creator in teyvat? Ifs its also ok can you tag me?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐆𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 -- 𝑰𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝑨𝑮𝑨𝑼... (𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒕) 𝐏𝐓. 𝟐
𝐏𝐓. 𝟏: (𝐱)
(𝐰𝐜): 1,011
𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: When the archons refuse to allow the harbringers to visit, they take matters into their own hands.
(𝐀/𝐍): Literally only wrote this because of one person loll. Also, I don't know jack shit about the harbringers so I used Wiki to get their personalities and things like that, don't trash me pls
𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠(𝐬): You get kidnapped. That's it, that's the whole post
𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓
By the time the harbringers realized you were discovered, the archons already had a tight grip on you. They immediately sent a request to visit the land of Mondstat to see their beloved creator, only to be denied.
They tried everything they could to convince the archons to let them visit. They tried sweet words, vows to change their ways, and bribery, but none of their tactics worked.
Finally, they decided to use brute force. They were going to see you no matter what.
The amount of fatui sightings tripled in less than a week. They appeared everywhere for seemingly no reason. While the public remained clueless, the archons knew it was retaliation.
Eventually, the fatui focused all their might on your palace. Fatui members flooded through your gates and attacked everyone they laid their eyes on.
The archons were forced to part from you and put you in the arms of a citizen; they wrapped you tightly in a blanket and held you to their chest, pretending you were their normal, mortal baby.
Pierro, however, saw through this facade. He approached the woman with a scowl on his face and demanded she surrendered the child.
She protested, but Pierro pried you out of her arms and into his. He left without a trace while you slept peacefully in his coat.
The woman was in shambles when the archons found her again. Tears were streaming down her face as she mumbled about failing them and her creator.
Unfortunately, once they figured out what happened, you and the fatui were gone.
𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒊 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔
You are literally never on your feet. If Pierro isn't holding you, It's first come first serve. He could be in an important meeting and you'll be hanging onto Pierro's coat and playing with his hair. You can even put stickers on him! He'll see them as a blessing.
Pierro isn't too entertaining to be around. 90% of the time he's working, and the other 10% is when he's sleeping. But on the off chance he has free time, he tells you stories about Khaenri'ah. Only if nobody's around can you get him to play with your dolls. He finds it quite relaxing, so long as he isn't caught.
Dottore... Isn't someone you should be around. The others will actively keep you away from him so your health isn't at risk. Despite your age, he wants to do experiments on you so he can better understand your abilities and tolerance. You like his mask, though.
Columbina likes to nap with you. You two will sleep for hours in the comfiest of outfits. She is very polite towards you and doesn't dare to raise her voice around you. Columbina will treat you like you're older than you really are, often consulting you in big decisions.
Capitano doesn't often interact with you, he doesn't want to tarnish his reputation, but he is around you as often as possible. He's heard stories of people being cursed and thrown to the streets because you were displeased with them--he doesn't want to become like them. He would much rather keep his distance so his honor isn't tainted. He does admire from afar how you're able to be so graceful, even as an infant. He aspires to be like you (though, he'll never admit it out loud.)
Pulcinella likes to predict how you'll be when you're an adult. Pinpointing whether you'll be strong, polite, or rude beyond compare, and what national tragedies you'll cause is a game to him. He has your entire life laid out in front of him. However, because of his stature, you often confuse him with someone around your age. As annoying as it is to hear the other's teasing comments, it does give him the opportunity to study you more.
You see the soft side of Scaramouche more than anyone. He aims to treat you better than his mother treated him. He does get annoyed at the others calling him soft, so you'll only see this side of him behind closed doors.
Sandrone can be a little nasty personality-wise, but being with her means you can play with her Automaton experiments. Unfortunately, she only allows you to play with the one that follows her, but that doesn't mean you can't sneak off to play with the others.
La Signora likes to tell you stories from both imagination and personal experiences. Out of all of them, she's the one that acts the most like a mother figure. She's the one to console you when you have a nightmare, entertain you when you're bored, and kiss your boo-boos when you trip running down the hallway. If anyone gives her nasty looks for this, wishing they were in her place, she's quick to point out their jealousy.
Pantalone will spoil you in any way he can, often sizing up his coworkers doing so. Oh, Pierro gave you a limited-edition dollhouse? Here's your own castle decorated with your favorite character--the only one of its kind! Signora gave you a blanket made of silk? Have a Navajo blanket with a unique pattern, he insists. He'll also push around and bully the others to get more time with you. He has no shame.
If Arlecchino isn't pursuing Columbina, they're bending to your every whim. Much like the archons, they'll retrieve anything you look at and offer it to you. Whenever you're cranky, they'll do everything they can 50 times over to make you happy again.
Tartaglia rivals Signora in terms of affection. He's the most likely to take you around the outside world--with a disguise, of course. You can't be out for long, however, as the animals will start to flock. Tartaglia often schedules playdates for you and Teucer; he's grown quite fond of you being in his family. Tartaglia's goal is to raise you to be strong in hopes you'll become a worthy opponent.

i think Childe would like it if you ran your hands through his hair-

i know overthinking this, but i don't think he takes care of himself that well. he has used his delusion so i feel like he's already accepted he won't live for long. and after he uses his delusion/foul legacy i imagine his body really being weak and him getting a really strong headache, and his fall into the abyss isn't helping his mental state either. so he thinks: what's the point of taking care of myself anyway??
and if he has nightmares, i imagine them being extremely vivid, and maybe even auditory. so subconsciously he would cover his ears with his hands, and end up pulling his hair really hard.
so experiencing this kind of stuff regularly and then feeling your hands softly caressing him and slowly scratch his head and just being a little careful with him- he will melt into your touch. i also think the contrast of all of that would be bittersweet.
he realises that he loves it when people play with his hair- especially you, but he also realises just how much he's constantly on guard. he's also thankful. thankful that you're careful with him, no matter how many times he's told you he's invincible and that he can handle anything and everything.
thankful that you take honest care of him, or at least try to
