a day with them
valentines day headcanons with the genshin chars ~♡ featuring yelan-alhaitham-beidou-yae miko-and thoma gender netrual reader enjoy!!
Yelan
Tumblr media
♤Sadly shes still busy with work at this time too
♤and you are too
♤Valentines may be here but the ministry of civil affairs is still just as busy so the two of you are constantly running all over the place, passing and getting information.
♤But in the occasion where the two of you meet paths
♤Yelan may give you a lil kiss on the cheek before taking the information you gave her and continuing her work, leaving purple lipstick on your face
♤or she might run by you and you'll give her a wave, which she responds with a smile and a wink <3
♤But once the workday is over the two of you can be found doing random activities together depending on where the dice lands
♤You can go from watching a fontaine film, to cooking food together-playing games-to simply cuddling and telling each other jokes and stories until dawn
Alhaitham
Tumblr media
◇This guy was supposd to have work on this day-
◇but he made sure to finish said work beforehand if he could, so he finished earlier than he would've if he hadn't worked beforehand
◇So now here you are, in his home, resting your head on his shoulder as he talks about things he had found interesting while the two of you eat desserts together
◇Kaveh is still at work so the mood of the room is relaxing, the sunlight peeking through the windows and his smooth voice flowing through your mind
◇you feel at peace
◇he continues on about interesting things he's seen and learnt recently when he mentions how he thinks valentines is interesting in its own way as well
◇After all, it's nice to have a day dedicated to relaxing times like this.
Beidou
Tumblr media
♡ Today is a big day for her!!
♡not only is it her birthday-but also valentines
♡its always a blast on this day
♡The ship is busy and the crew is hearty-singing songs together and laughing
♡its a full day for fun and lightheartedness-and she is amazing as always
♡The salty air and cool winds blowing with her hair flying in the wind as she laughs and smiles at the dinner table
♡it's truly a wonderful sight
♡and at the end of the day-the two of you play chess or tcg as you joke, flirt, and laugh away through the night
Yae Miko
Tumblr media
☆Throughout Inazuma, you can see all the romance novels and the couples under the sakura trees
☆yet Yae miko is acting like it isn't even Valentines
☆if you ask her about it or bring her a gift for valentines-she will thank you but act confused
☆"Oh? Thank you but dear it is a regular Tuesday-what are you on about"
☆Her smug smile and laugh makes it so obvious she's messing with you
☆after all-she is the boss of the Yae publishing house-why would she add a bunch of romance novels at the front if it weren't such an occasion
☆the day ends and you return home to see her sitting near novels and some tofu-mochi-and more food
☆"You didn't think I truly forgot now did you love?"
Thoma
Tumblr media
♧I am so lucky- you think to yourself
♧Thoma is sitting there under the tree with some puppies and kittens around him
♧the sight of him laughing as the lil animals pounce onto him is adorable
♧The Kamisatos had given him a day off so he can spend time with his lovely partner
♧You both first gave each other the gifts you prepared for each other-he had brought some different shaped homeade cookies for you
♧Then you baked some more sweets together
♧Had a picnic-and then visited the cats and dogs at the sakura tree
♧honestly his bright smile was already a perfect valentines gift

Telling them “Only after meeting you did I discover that it is so simple to be happy.”
Genre: fluff, a little angst on Xiao's part, established relationship
Characters: Beidou, Amber, Xiao
Tumblr media
Beidou:
She doesn't understand How can a simple phrase carry so much meaning? So many swears? That make the strong tides of her mind calm. That make her strong heart finally ease?...
Maybe she'll never understand, maybe she'll always feel, but she sure as hell won't forget.
And now she has a triumphant smile, like a pirate's when he finds his long-awaited lost treasure.
After a few seconds of silence, she said " Hahaha… I've been making a contract with myself every day, saying to make you happy. Now I'm finally sure that I fulfilled it well"
Tumblr media
Amber:
Red cheeks. Heart almost out of mouth. eyes looking for something
Oh my Archon Amber's gears have stopped
At that moment she was on the verge of thinking that it was a dream, an illusion, a utopia…but it wasn't
BUT IT WAS NOT
It was real life and you were there truly saying words Amber would never get tired of hearing.
Ah~ she wanted so much to scream how much she loved you but unfortunately she held back
"Since the day I looked at you I thought the same thing''
Tumblr media
Xiao:
At first, Xiao would call anyone who said those words a fool, but not you.
Because you are the one who puts up with him every day, who teaches him, who consoles him, who kisses him, who loves him, who shows him every day that life is not just the past, that its meaning is not just hunting to the demons that surround Liyue, who understands him. Who does everything for himself without being openly reciprocated.
''And even after all that effort, are you happy?'' he thinks with dark clouds cluttering his head
The only thing he can do now is thank you
''Thank you…thank you so much….I love you…'' he says without the courage to look you in the eye

Hi! So can i request headcannons about Yae,Diluc,Xiao & Beidou and what their favorite place to kiss or touch you is?(P.S I love ur writing some much!!)
☄ ⋆ one kiss is all it takes
a/n: do you know how happy it makes me feel to wake up to 99+ notifications in my inbox??? I love you all so much is not even funny-
gn!reader, poc!reader friendly because they deserve it~
_________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐
Diluc Ragnvindr is a shy yet classy man. When your lips interlock, expect his hands to go straight to your waist and wrap around it gently, pulling you closer to him and his affections.
Yae Miko is a sly yet wise kitsune, and boredom must stay away from her as far as possible. Which is why when you both engage in acts of romantic affection she chooses a new place every time. Maybe one day she's stroking the back of your neck, and then the next time you both are kissing, she'll be tenderly cupping your cheeks.
Xiao let's you take the lead, his kisses are so soft and gentle that they're barely touching your lips, but when things get steamy his arms fly up to your neck with his own head thrown back in bliss.
Beidou kisses you passionately, her chest to your back and her hand gently squeezing your hips. Other times, when she's in front of you, her fingers are running up and down your spine - an occasional poke here and there.

'falling' in love !
the two of you are just taking a short walk.
unfortunately, your foot, to your dismay, catches on a rock and sends you tumbling forward. immediately, your partner has an arm around your waist, catching you before you hit the ground. a soft laugh escapes their lips as you right yourself.
your face burns as you adjust any accessories that may have been affected by the almost-fall. it doesn’t help when your significant other further adds to the embarrassment with a teasing statement that only makes your face redder.
“hehe, falling for me already?”

How they would handle a drunk spouse
Warning! ALCOHOL!
Characters: Jean, Diluc, Dehya, Eula, Arlecchino, Navia, Shenhe
A/n: this is a draft that i just fixed up to post. I promise jean x reader will not be forgotten
Cw: fluff, alcoholism. No warnings aside from alcohol!
Tumblr media
Jean
She knew Kaeya was a bad influence! Its not entirely his fault but she doesn’t have time to care about your mistake here. You can try to sweet talk her or be all cuddly but shes not holding back on you! You should’ve known better than to get this drunk if you didn’t want to make her worried sick! She goes into overdrive caring for you though. A bucket and water telling you to drink every drop. You aren’t going to bed until she’s sure you feel better because she doesn’t want to wake up to vomit everywhere. Also because you could choke on your own vomit. Its also to help lessen the hangover. Mondstadt is the drinking capital in Teyvat though so there’s definitely more tips she knows just by living there. Despite her being s but mean it does help when you are hungover and less dehydrated than you would’ve been. She made sure to leave you some painkillers and medication for you on the nightstand.
Diluc
“I told you so” kind guy. He’s probably a bit annoyed but that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to help. Although he can’t help but find it a little bit amusing the state you’re in. Just giggling and mumbling words. Its kind of cute. Unlike Jean his anger and annoyance lessens the more cuddly you get. His heart melting at the fact that you still seek him out in this inebriated state of yours. He’ll fix you something to sober you up real quick and hold your hair if you vomit. If you have to take a bath he will be there to make sure you don’t drown. Since he is a bartender he has the best knowledge of how to handle hangovers. Next time however you should be careful
Eula
She probably was drinking with you to be honest. But her liver is far stronger than you thought! Seeing you drunk out of your mind she will stop drinking for the night and take you home instead. A gentle bridal style while she takes caution to not upset your tummy. She gets you plenty of water to help sober you up for bed time. You will just have to go along with her word, she isnt entertaining any arguments or resistance from you now! She changes you out of your clothes, ties up your hair, etc. She makes sure you’re nice and cozy for the night before she takes care of herself.
Dehya
She can’t help but find it amusing watching you stumble about. She asks Lambad for some water but she holds it to you so you won’t drop it. She teases you about being a lightweight. But she isn’t finished drinking yet so just hold on! Once you fall over and pass out though she ditches that plan and instead carries you home. A bit difficult considering she too is tipsy but it helps that she’s strong and not nearly as drunk. Nonetheless she tucks you in and sleeps right next to you, making sure you’re pressed up against her so you can be nice and warm.
Arlecchino
She knew you would be a light weight. Just one shot of firewater and you’re out like a light, your head on her thigh as she was reading something. You seem too peaceful to move so she simply lets you stay there. Her hand rummaging through your hair every so often. Occasionally she glances to see your face and smiles. You’re cute like this. Next time she’ll make sure to dilute the firewater properly so she an enjoy your drunken state a little more.
Shenhe
She’s not sure what to do with you actually. Worried that you’ve hit your head she brings you to Bubu pharmacy, to which Baizhu has to explain the difference between a head injury and alcohol. But he sends her off with a few pain meds for you in the morning. She heeds his instructions well. Helping you settle in for a nice rest to sleep it off. She might have gone overboard though because she overdoes it with the blankets and water. But its still appreciated when you wake up with the worst hangover.
Beidou
You crash together. You fall asleep first, in her arms as she eventually falls asleep too , holding you close to her. Both drunk out of your minds you two end up asleep using a tarp as a blanket on the deck of the crux. The crew still mulling and celebrating their most recent success. The crew ends up having to lift you two back to your beds together because even unconscious would Beidou not let go of you. When you wake up she’s far better off than you as she teases you endlessly. Needless to say you two will be chugging water from here on out. At least until the next celebration. Lucky for you she keeps a stash of painkillers for her crew for this specific occasion.
Navia
A relentless teaser! How horrible! She ends up giggling watching you stumble and stutter. She can’t help it! You’re such a silly bean! Once you get sleepy is when she brings you home to rest. With her guards doing the heavy lifting of course. But she’ll do the bathing or changing herself with them casted out of the room. Afterwards she prepares herself for bed, snuggling against you.
In the morning she’ll make her guards get you painkillers and water.

imagine royal!au in genshin but with ruler x knight trope 😍😍😍 (cw // minor character deaths, violence, threats, and grammar errors)
Tumblr media
you were recently crowned as the ruler of your land after the tragic deaths of your parents. altho you have personally dealt with those foolish nobles who dared to kill your parents with poison by executing them, you still couldn’t help but be extra cautious of your surroundings and the people around you.
you refuse to eat unless the food is served by your most trustworthy butler, who made sure it wasn’t poison. you refuse to take strolls around the garden you dearly loved without being escorted with the captain of the imperial knights. you refuse to attend balls that’s thrown for your coronation in fear of the worst case scenarios happening to you. you even refuse to sleep without checking if your windows are locked and guarded for the nth time.
it was very very severe, and your royal advisor couldn’t take it anymore after overhearing a conversation between your servants about how you’re always so frightened whenever they try to wake you up.
so your royal advisor as well as the royal court together advised you to have a personal knight who could protect you from getting killed by only the gods above know who.
you agreed of course, but on one condition.
“instead of just one knight, i would like to have a group of them.” you said without hesitation.
the people from the royal court was shocked. were you really that cautious to want not just one knight, but more?
your royal advisor on the other hand, remained as calm as they can be. if it is what you want, then you shall have it.
“we will agree to your condition, your imperial highness,” they said with a bow. “we will provide you the best of the best.”
and so, you got yourself a group of warriors — the strongest ones from all over the kingdom, rather — who all have named themselves your knights and sworn with their lives to protect you from harm and danger for as long as they live.
not one person outside of your palace knew of your knights, they only knew that you have a personal knight who’s by your side.
you’ve learned their names as soon as you’ve met them: zhongli, beidou, alhaitham, kaeya, itto, dainsleif, and kazuha.
they’re a weird bunch, you’ll admit, but they’re no doubt the best of the best as what your royal advisor promised with you.
zhongli, who is known for being a member of liyue’s most powerful noble family, is the leader among your knights and the one who everyone outside the palace knew as your personal knight. not only does he have grace and politeness, but also has the experience of many wars, capable of protecting you from even a mighty dragon.
he’s the same knight who makes you tea that helps you sleep every night, telling you stories that seems too real to be fictional as you drink. sometimes, you couldn’t help but notice a sense of nostalgia from him whenever he tells you said stories.
you didn’t want to admit it, but he looks familiar as well, as if you’ve met him before despite the fact that you never once saw him whenever his family comes to your palace.
beidou, who is known for being the strongest pirate in the seven seas and is retired, is the knight who’s always by your side for when you travel around the seas. not only does she have a strong liver for being able to drink so many alcohol, but also has the experience of a pirate who had slaughtered the most feared sea monster, capable of protecting you from those who dare to try and infiltrate your ship.
she’s the same knight who takes you out from your palace and explore around town to help you feel relax from your duties as a ruler, letting you try out street foods and even made you try fishing for the first time by the docks. she sometimes tells you of what it was like back when she had her crew, her eyes full of longing.
you wondered what happened that led her to retire and have her crew split up.
alhaitham, who is known for being the most skilled and intelligent scholar in the infamous land of sumeru, is the brains of your group. not only does he have the intelligence of the grand sage of sumeru, but also has the experience of fighting off many fighters in a swordsman competition and won from it, capable of protecting you from those who dare to point their swords towards you.
he’s the same knight whose as sarcastic as he can be but helps you with your paperwork if you need extra help and is quite an amazing tactician as well whenever you need it. you didn’t mind his attitude and rationality, not when you sometimes find yourself waking up with a blanket on top of you every time you accidentally fall asleep from dealing with documents as alhaitham reads a book on one of the seats of your office.
you wondered how your royal advisor managed to persuade someone like him to be your knight.
kaeya, who is known for being the brother of the current grand duke of mondstadt, is the stealthiest of the group. not only does he have the best connections to get information about nobles who plot to kill you, but also has the access to come to every events you’re invited in as a member of the ragnvindr family and not as your knight, capable of protecting you from assassins and nobles alike in royal balls and events.
he’s the same knight who’s your drinking buddy besides beidou, listening to your rants and woes if you drank more than you can handle. he never tells you what you said to him, only commenting that “you’re one heavy sack of potato to carry whenever it’s time for you to head back to bed”. honestly, you’re kinda glad he never tells you about your drunk shenanigans.
though, sometimes you notice a flash of regret and sadness in his eyes whenever his brother is mentioned around him, staying more silent than usual.
itto, who is known for being…. itto, is the tank of the group. not only does he have the most intimidating image with marks all over his body and with the horns on his head, but also has super strength that could carry many heavy things such as a carriage, capable of carrying you and running away from the scene of a fight while protecting you.
he’s the same knight who gives you jokes and cheers you up whenever you feel drained and sad. he’s honestly quite funny and endearing, even more so when you play card games with him when you feel bored. you could never forget the time when he rapped for you as a birthday present, not minding how all the other knights look as if they’re dying inside at the sight.
you just wish that everyone sees him the same way you do and not see him as the scariest oni in the land who is rumored to have committed many unforgivable acts despite the fact that it is already proven that he didn’t do such things.
dainsleif, who is known for being the descendant of the most powerful captain of the knights back when your ancestors ruled over the land, is a mysterious one. not only does he have the training to be just as strong as his ancestor, but also has the experience of a traveler who has come far and wide around the world, capable of protecting you from those who came to kill you should you travel around other lands to meet up with other rulers.
he’s the same knight who tells you his travels and what it was like to be in such places whenever you ask him to, mentioning people he’d met and places that he could never forget. he’s quite hard to read, you’ll admit.
it’s safe to say you’re curious about this particular blonde traveler he mentioned sometimes, especially when he completely stops explaining for a moment.
kazuha, who is known for being the last living member of his family who died, is different from everyone among the group for his heightened senses. not only does he have the most ancient and powerful sword crafted by his family years ago, but also has the experience of standing against a ruler who uses magic with just his sword, capable of protecting you from those who try to hurt you with magic.
with his senses, he tells you if it’s going to rain today, if the food has poison in it, if a person is dangerous or not, and so on and so forth. however, due to his senses, he prefers to not stay in one place, leading you to make him explore around the palace everyday if he wishes to and see if he finds anything dangerous around your home.
he’s the same knight who escorts you whenever you take a stroll around the palace grounds, being as gentle and kind as he can be as he listens to you intently. sometimes he’d recite haikus he made just for you as you feel at peace with what you have with your knight.
seeing how he looks peaceful and contented with himself, you never questioned him about why he decided to become a wanderer after everything he went through.
overall, you’ve come to know your knights and grew close, finally trusting them as much as you trust your butler and royal advisor after seeing how dedicated and loyal they are to you.
you even find yourself catching feelings with one of them, but who?
bonus
kamisato ayato is one of the three rulers of inazuma, who was supposed to be your husband from an arranged marriage that your families agreed on. however, after your parents’ death as well as his, the both of you mutually agreed to not get married for the sake of prioritizing your people first (and also because marriage is not something you’re interested in).
ningguang is one of the nobles who you trust most and the one you talk to often in events. she’s quite intelligent and is never afraid to tell her opinions. she hides half of her face with her fan whenever you say something flattering about her success as she praises you for your hardwork in return, something that happens once in a lifetime for most people. you admit that she’s also one amazing dancer as well after dancing with her whenever you have the chance to (though, you feel a bit flustered from the fact that you almost step on her shoes sometimes).
diluc ragnvindr is also considered as one of the nobles who you trust most. when your parents died, he was the one who reached out to you first and helped you with your troubles before your early coronation. not only is he your penpal, but also the person who can understand your pain since he too lost his father and was forced to take the title of the grand duke too early. (he’s also the one who defended you when nobles gathered around to discuss about the future of the land after your parents’ death, angry that those pesky nobles have the audacity to say you’re not worthy to rule)
capitano is the current captain of the knights who was by your side when you were super cautious and scared of your surroundings after your coronation. he comforted you and reassured you that no matter what, you’re very well protected with him and with all of the knights of the palace. despite his cold demeanor, you have always appreciated his efforts in protecting you and easing your worries, never hesitating to thank him for what he has done. (you didn’t know the disappointment he felt underneath his mask when he knew he no longer has to be by your side anymore, but he was happy that you now feel even more safe with the new knights).
tartaglia is one of the princes from snezhnaya and is never afraid to tell you his undying love for you with every chance he gets ever since you won from your duel with him. you truly admire his unwavering determination for your hand in marriage, and you honestly didn’t have the heart to harshly tell him to stop. instead, you simply just say no whenever he asks you to marry him. besides, he knows his boundaries unlike some of your suitors and even killed one of the strongest beasts of snezhnaya on his own for your birthday gift: a long fur-coat that matches you very well. (if only you knew how he keeps asking your fellow knights to spar with him after finding out that you caught feelings for one of them, wanting to know just how strong the person who won your heart is).
scaramouche was once a person you’ve known since childhood. he was your dear companion who’s by your side until the announcement of your engagement with kamisato ayato. when you came to visit him after the announcement, it was as if he disappeared without a trace. you didn’t know what you did wrong, did you say something that made him run away? it was something you couldn’t find an answer to, and you silently gave him a farewell before going back to your palace defeatedly. it was only a few months after having your new knights when you suddenly have a visitor by your window, he looks far different than the scaramouche you knew back then. he looks more… evil and—
just as you were about to say something to him, you find yourself falling to the ground before everything went black, the last thing you heard was the sound of evil laughter.

Your First Date-Genshin pt 2
Characters: Tighnari, Heizou, Wanderer, Kazuha x gn reader (separate)
Warnings: fluff and headcanons, so none ig
Note: this was really fun to write, and get away from school stress for a bit, i looooove you all
Tumblr media
Tighnari
it would out in the forest(he made sure there was no fungi or anything to disturb u)
he would show you some really pretty flowers or mushrooms if you wanted(tho he wont make it similar to a lecture, only a little)
he maybe spaced out while looking at you, not his fault your so pretty, but gave a(n) (almost) shy apology after.
definitely picked flowers with you so you could have a fresh bouquet with the prettiest flowers you could find(he made sure none of them were deadly, or bad for you to be around)
you were given permission to pet his ears for a little after he caugt you looking at them for a little too long
^^he also let you cuddle his tail if you were cold(but he wont look at you since he doesn't want you to see how red he is)
overall a pretty good first date, if he could say so himself
Heizou
would talk non-stop about some cases he recently solved, wanting to impress you, even though you already are
took you to some fried food stalls around Inazuma city, ritou if you can handle the walk(ik i can´t)
he wanted to take you to do some puzzles with him, but figured he should make it more classic or romantic for your first date
^^maybe next time he´ll take you out to try and solve those puzzles
he got you your favorite flowers(if you like flowers) or a pot he tried to make for you, with the help of his family (which is very happy he wanted to make something, but didn't know he only put effort in bc it was for you)
kano, his cousin, and kujou sara also helped him actually ask you out, because at that point it was getting painful to watch him swoon over you every day
Wanderer
he didn´t even really agree with where he took you, Nahida just told him where to take you after she found out he (finally) asked you out
so he ended up taking you out somewhere in Sumeru city
(but maybe he also ended up leading you out of the city when people were got a little too loud and irritating for his liking)
didnt get you anything, as he didnt think he needed to, but the fact that his attitude was almost not there (when talking to you) was maybe a gift in itself
Nahida was so excited for your date, she may have borrowed someone's body for a while (at least 5-8 hours) and watched you
wanderer definitely noticed her presence, and tried getting away from her to get some complete alone time with you
^^when he finally succeeded you ended up falling on him, so he awkwardly let you sleep on his lap/shoulder while stroking your hair and getting lost in your beauty
Kazuha
your first date was probably on the crux, or wandering around in some nation (either his homeland or yours if you wanted, but that could always be another time)
the activities he had in mind would be fishing, making food together(or baking), sharing his haikus and poems (and helping you make some if you wanted)
^^i had too many ideas to put in here, sorry
but he would stroke your hair as you lay beside him and mutter his recent love poems, just for you
for the food you made, it would be something like fried/baked fish, hashbrowns... anything you knew how to make(basically), and sweets like dango or cake from your homeland
beidou and the crux may or may not have been following you, just for a little
^^she needed something to tell ningguang, as she was also invested in your relationship, and silently cheered on
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading(ehe), luv ya-Masterlist
You are welcome to reblog and like any of my posts, but you CAN NOT translate, copy or hate on anybody for liking my posts

something happens and im head over heels all over again
Tumblr media
synopsis - simple things you do that make them love you even more
includes - albedo, beidou, xiao, ayaka, ayato, wanderer
warnings - gn!reader, fluff, wc - 536
Tumblr media
albedo ★↷
albedo adores how you have adapted the practice of making him packed lunches ti take up to dragonspine if he returns for the night, or you go out of your way to deliver it too him or give to someone else to take to him. they're normally completed with a little cheesy note saying 'your doing great!' or something sweeter sitting at the top which never fails to make him smile. or just him knowing that klee trusts you and can often be found playing with you or simply taking her round mondstadt.
beidou ★↷
beidou knows how her way of life is often shunned upon, not that she cares much anymore. but just seeing you embrace that part of her and helping around the ship even though she insits you dont have to. or you helping out her fellow crewmates. she views all crew of the crux as family so seeing you bond and get along really well just makes her appreciate you more and more (it seemed impossible for her to adore you as much as she does but she does).
adeptus xiao ★↷
xiao may seem uninterested when you want to go to festivals with him or simply spending time together strolling liyue or whatever you manage to drag him into doing, but sometimes you can catch a small glimpse of his lips curling slightly more upwards. you're constant reminder that he deserves to be treated to relaxation and have breaks every once in a while makes his cheeks slightly dash red knowing you care that much about him.
kamisato ayaka ★↷
ayaka may not be the head of the kamisato clan, she still has her fair share of work to be doing which often leaves her feeling tired. but that was until you introduced your 'spur of the moment picknicks'. just you two going to beatiful spots in inazuma surrounded by nature and having small picknicks talking about whatever that isnt her or your work makes her worries melt away. and each time she grows more excited for you to tell her to clear a spot in her schedule for another picknick.
kamisato ayato ★↷
ayato is often stuck doing paperwork or giving out orders, but ever so often he sees your familiar mess of hair pop round his door to deop off your latest trinket, sometimes its matching keychains you saw at a stall and brought it on impulse or sometimes, his personal favourite, you bring him a homemade gift. a small plate of sweets or foods, a handmade trinket or little notes to motivate him. it works and sometimes he gets you little items aswell.
wanderer ★↷
wanderer has been through alot. from his birth as kunikuzushi, to his time as scaramouche and eventually his fall as a false god into who he is now. wanderer. and you, someone who he cherishes deeply and has been with him thick and thin. sure its been difficult for you and him but you've made it through all. so sometimes small moments like you and him preparing meals together, you dragging him to do whatever with him although he says he hates it but you know better and just doing small domestic acts that mean the world to him.

prompt ✧ being clingy with them
characters ✧ lumine, beidou, albedo, wanderer
warnings ✧ gn!reader, petname (honey) in lumines part
a/n ✧ here you are 🦊 anon ! these are kinda short cus i took an edible right before writing, might redo later.. sorry!!!
Tumblr media
LUMINE
✧ personally i think she likes cuddles, so she wouldn’t mind if you were being extra clingy. she’d be a bit confused at first but would overall just accept it.
✧ when she felt you tug on her dress, she made a humming noise while turning to face you, only to be met with your arms around her waist. she let out a quiet surprised noise, but instantly hugged you back. asked if something was wrong but you just shook your head, so she leaned further into your embrace.
✧ she pet your hair a little and didn’t make a move to pull away, so you two stood there hugging for a good while. when you finally pulled away, she smiled lovingly at you.
"hi honey, you okay?"
BEIDOU
✧ she’s not always a gentle lover, she constantly throws her arms around you, bear hugs you, and pats your back a little too hard. of course, she’d never take it too far, she knows your limits and her strength. but that’s not to say she can’t be gentle.
✧ when she set her last box down and turned to see you, she greeted you with a huge smile. she watched as you walked a few steps to her and put your head on her shoulder. she instantly wrapped her arms around you, pulling you closer to her body.
✧ mumbled a flirty remark in your hair before placing a kiss. she was the one to pull away, but only to ask if you were feeling alright. she didn’t know if you were sea sick or just being clingy.
✧ when you bashfully stated that you just wanted to be close to her for a second, she grinned and teased you about it, but placed another kiss to your head nonetheless.
"aw, you missed me? you could’ve just said that."
ALBEDO
✧ he’s not super affectionate, but he has his moments. he doesn’t mind holding you or placing chaste kisses to your face at all. he doesn’t usually come to bed when you do, which leads to you always being asleep before him. you try to stay awake and wait for him, but he’s totally nocturnal so it’s hard and you almost always fail.
✧ this time however, you managed to stay awake. you had an ache in your chest that you knew only his presence could dull, so you waited. not like you could sleep anyway, you kept thinking about him and missing him— even though he was in the other room. you just wanted to hold onto him, but you didn’t want to annoy him while he was working… so you waited like you always do.
✧ once he finally stepped into the room, his droopy eyes finding yours, his brow furrowed. he made a comment about how he didn’t think you were still awake. he was met with your arms stretching out towards him, silently asking for a hug.
✧ he obliged with a smile. climbed under the covers with you and let you wrap your arms around him, putting your cheek on top of his head. you felt him place a kiss to your collarbone and you let out a content sigh.
"you want to cuddle? oh— yes, of course."
WANDERER
✧ definitely isn’t used to physical touch, but he craves it so much— especially from you. he‘d act annoyed at your hugs and kisses but he secretly loves them, and you knew that. he never pushes you away, even if his body is aching to move.
✧ when he entered your shared home, he saw you sitting on the couch. you heard him walk in and called him over, a smile clear in your voice. you’d been missing him all day, he had been with nahida and you didn’t want to intrude, so you stayed behind and waited.
✧ once he reached you, he stood in front of you, an expectant look on his face. when you pat the spot next to you, he sat with a grunt.
✧ you leaned your head on his shoulder and laced your fingers with his, a dreamy sigh leaving your lips. you mumbled that you missed him so much and you were glad he was finally back. he thanked the archons that your head was downward so you couldn’t see the faint pink on his cheeks and ears. he grumbled something back about you being overdramatic, but squeezed your hand tighter in the process.
"i wasn’t gone for that long, you really need me around that much?"

Would this character catch you?
genshin impact edition pt. 2
a/n: i wasn't gonna make one of these again but i thought it would make for nice writing practice. I'll be including the Liyue ladies :D inbox is still open as usual! I'll be doing request slowly but if you just wanna share ideas, your own headcanons, ask questions, or promote yourself then pls send them in :D also i most definitely forgot ppl, it's really late and i have to wake for school in like 6 hours 😭 there is mistakes so pls ignore them
-------------------------------------
Ningguang: 7/10, only because if she didn't have to keep up appearances she could totally catch you
given that you both are somewhere decently public, you are falling to the ground
Of course she'd crouch down to check on you to see if your alright
but she'll lean down closer to you, covering her mouth and say
"that was a very dumb thing of you to do. Don't you feel even the slightest bit of shame my love?"
in private she might entertain you with catching you
if it's in her bedroom, then she'd catch you then teasingly toss you on to her bed
Beidou: 10/10, best one honestly and the muscle😩
banging my hands against the table
Captain Beidou is definitely catching you and not putting you down
If she's docked and out walking in the Liyue Harbor, she excepts you to run at her and jump into her arms
it's a tradition at this point
it's also a way for her to show off how strong she is
probably doesn't put you down
god i love Beidou so much
Ganyu: 2/10, she's getting this rating because she's pretty
She's probably not catching you?
Ganyu absolutely could it's just she was probably half asleep or thinking about something else
You both fall to the ground and she just stays still for a moment before asking if you're okay
wants to make sure you weren't being chased by a hilichurl
mostly just confused
Keqing: 0/10, moving out of the way lol
What do you think you are doing
I think she would catch you if she wasn't overthinking
She plans to catch you but moves out of the way before you crash into her
Yells at you with a flushed face asking why you would do such a thing
does bandage up any bruise you get
you get no feel better kisses though
Yunjin: 5/10, She does catch you but you both fall to the ground anyways
she's very giggly about it
Yunjin was very sure she could've stayed standing but it appears that she should've braced herself a bit more
gives you small pecks while laughing
asks to try that again as she wants to be able to catch you and twirl you around
tries to find a better and more stable area for you to try again
"Do you mind if we try that again? I was quite excited to twirl you around in my arms, so if you do mind let's try again."
Shenhe: ?/10, she catches you but like she drops you?
honestly, i think you'd be more shocked that she caught you
It would take her a few moments before she starts get a bit red and then she drops you
like gently drops you
coughing she turns away from you and tells you not to do it again
and then leaves
leaving you confused
Yelan: 9/10??? i honestly have no clue lol
She'd catch but in a like teasing way
makes comments about how desperate for her attention you must be and how lucky you are that she caught
squeezes you against her and gives you a closed eyed smile
"Oh how interesting, I must've rolled something good to get you to fall into my arms. If you wanted to get close to me all you had to do was ask."
Now Yelan doesn't put you down, instead she carries you someplace and sits down with you in her lap
You're not leaving her lap
Better yet she has plans to go play poker later and she needs a lucky charm
it just so happens that she's decided that you look quite lucky and you'd look nice on her lap :>

NEW ROMANTICS - beidou
Tumblr media
summary: after a breakup, a night out with your drinking buddy and crux captain makes you realise maybe life isn’t as cruel as you thought
warnings: reader is gn, featuring ningguang
notes: day 16 and the last day for the main tracks! i tried to end it off strong for this one before i’d move on to the angstier ones to come so i hope this uplifts your spirits!
taglist (open): @staretes , @rynnlvrs , @sentifua , @i-probably-sleep-too-much , @reilly34 , @qqingque , @akutasoda , @mhiieee , @starryshinyskies , @kazemiya , @pix-stuff , @inscaraithrust
Tumblr media
drinking your heart out with beidou wasn’t an uncommon experience for the both of you. the captain could handle her liquor fairly well and well, drinking was a good way to get over a breakup, wasn’t it?
but the mug of beer in your hand stayed full through the entire night, there was something about beidou that you’ve never seen about. not that she was gorgeous or that she could come off as boisterous, you’d established that upon your first encounter.
“we’re all just bored, we’re all so tired of everything.” you had murmured, a thoughtful look crossing your face. was it because that when you were both young, you’d feel this urge to try something new all the time? you’d wait for boats that weren’t coming, show off your different scarlet letters and compare which one was better.
you were young, but you were on the road to ruin. no matter how hard you’d try to play dumb, you knew what exactly you were doing and the consequences of your actions whether it be good or bad. and when you’d cry tears of mascara in the bathroom at every challenge that life had thrown at you, you’d bounce back stronger.
“honey, life is just a classroom. you learn every step of the way. heartbreak is a part of the experience,” drawled ningguang, a smirk on her lips as she twirled pieces of jade in between her gold covered fingernails.
“you know, i could build a classroom out of all the bricks they throw at me. ningguang included but it’s more of taxes than bricks.” the pirate captain laughed heartily, slamming the bottom of her mug on the table, ningguang rolling her eyes at beidou’s words.
“every day is like a battle, but every night with the both of you is like a dream.” you nodded along to the captain’s words, following what she was trying to say.
living it out in the big city of liyue harbor with nothing but your heart in your hands and a dream, the lights and noise could be blinding at times. you’d wait finding love out, it was all in the timing anyway. it was like playing poker in a way, they’d never it in your face but you were about to play your ace. every heartbreak meant to break you down could never tarnish your wild youth.
“think about it, do you need love? or is all you want danger?” beidou continued, taking your full cup and swapping it for her empty one. it looked like she was doing all the drinking today.
she was right. you’d team up and switch sides like a record changer. the rumors that people would spew out of their mouths like poison would be terrible and cruel but then again, most of them were true. you wanted to feel young and free, not tied down by any chains.
wasn’t it weird that such things that could make you rethink what you’ve gone through, would be said by a half-drunk beidou? you were about to reply until she suddenly grabbed your hand, much to your shock and amusement of ningguang.
now seeing life in a new light, the rose tinted glasses you had now were off and you could see the bright lights illuminating the city at night from the view of the jade chamber. and all you could see was beidou’s flushed face in front of yours, taking your hand and leading you into a dance to the background music that was playing faintly, you being louder than the melodies of the song. hear nothing but the roar of your hearts and the amused chuckle from ningguang as she nursed her glass of wine.
you were young and you should be celebrating every moment you had. heartbreak is the national anthem and you’d sing it proudly cause you were both too busy dancing to knocked off your feet by whatever was thrown at you with the intent to get you down. right now, you’d enjoy life, make memories and dance like no one was watching.
because the best people in life like your friends, was free.

If you still plan on doing the Sub Genshin Girls could you possibly do one with Nilou and Beidou?:)
a/n: as long as there are girls that have not been written for there are girls to write for!!! TYSM FOR THE REQUEST <3
Gender Neutral Reader
Sub Genshin Girls P.4
on this episode: Beidou, Nilou, Kuki Shinobu, Yelan
Tumblr media
mdni read at your own risk this is nsfw!!!
Beidou:
drools uncontrollably
muscular WOMEN djgsdfjksdjfk
is one of those people that think's she'll break your neck if she sits on your face
just fucking do it so she stops getting scared and she gets addicted to it
eeeeeasiest way to get her off is to let her grind on your face
doesn't have a lot of time with her work, so when you have time PLEASE just go slow and make it romantic
gets so uncharacteristically (omg big word) shy when you give her body kisses like her arms, legs, shoulders, etc.
worship this woman please do it oh my god
like she's having a bad day so you take her to her quarters and kiss all over her body until she's squirming and whining and eat her out until she cries
also good to grind on your thigh if you're short on time, but she HAS to be touching you
the biggest punishment for her is to be tied up and getting stimulated with something like a vibrator (she just wants you to touch her)
Nilou:
kisses her kisses her kisses her
she's so sweet omg i love her
1000% a whimperer in bed, not very loud but makes the cutest noises
hates (loves) getting hickies she can barely cover with her outfit!!!!
she wants you to fuck her in the bazaar. full stop.
like before dawn when everyone is out she wants you to fuck her on the stage
semi-public is one of her biggest secret fantasies but she won't act on it alone because of her image
find somewhere out of the way but she can still hear people and she will squirt so fast omg
also likes lingerie :)
she looks so pretty in literally every color set you get her, but turns as red as her hair when you compliment her
Kuki Shinobu:
definitely more of a tsundere-adjacent
gets flustered under the mask 10 times out of 10
plz be gentle with her and kiss her tattoos !!!!!
highly highly embarrassed when you kiss her on her shoulders and arms
always wants to hold your hand <33
also a power bottom, she wants to ride (cock or strap) 95% of the time
will bite your neck and shoulders to keep her noises in while she's on top
she whines a LOT when you have sex regardless of what you're doing
will elbow you in the ribs if you attempt PDA around the Arataki Gang
she needs to keep up her appearance of always being the smart and collected one so you can't kiss her or hold her hand because her brain stops working at any physical contact
Yelan:
where do I begin
loooves to challenge you when it comes to LITERALLY ANYTHING
she's not a total brat, but she likes to challenge your authority
also is a fan of riding !!!!!
loves feeling like she has control even if you're the one controlling her hips
she loves any position she can see your face in, because she loves seeing you blushing
also loves to give oral!!! godly at it (I KNOW she knows what to do with her mouth)
isn't a fan on being on her knees though, so 69ing is always the way to go
she tries to be quiet, but she fails most of the time
will 100% praise you for making her feel good!!!!!
a little bit of a service bottom when she gets into subspace
overall is pretty vanilla, but is in love with a little bit of pain. choking is a no go, but spankings make her drool
a/n: eeeee part 4 done!!! i hope this was satisfactory <33
please feel free to send in requests!!!! the rules are linked in my pinned post!!!

Hello, I have a request for Kazuha, idk if you write for him or not so if you don’t then feel free to ignore this, it can be a drabble or headcanons. Ok so you know how Kazuha had bandages on his hands? Do you think he’d let his S/O draw on them? Because I really want to draw dinosaurs on them. And if he did let you draw on his bandages, how would that interaction go? Basically just headcanons or a drabble where the reader asks Kazuha to draw on his bandaids and draws little dinosaurs if he lets them. That’s all, thank you for your time.
Tumblr media
A/n: Hello! Thank you for your request. I did this one really quickly, it's such a sweet idea. This is my first time writing for Kazuha, however, so I do hope it turned out well enough <3 Enjoy. (Also, quick question, but if I opened up writing commissions, would anyone be interested?)
Genre: fluff, drabble
Word count: 462
Pairings: Kazuha x GN Reader,can be read as platonic too
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Please, hold still…” your voice calls out with a huff from your nose which is met with an amused chuckle. 
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to move so abruptly.. I hope I didn’t ruin your lines?” - Kazuha asked with care, tender tones of his smooth voice flowing in the breeze and quenching the small flick of irritation caught on from the stubborn bandages bleeding ink all over. Kazuha held a thin end of the bandage to tighten your canvas, aiding you in your persistent wish, all while he leaned back against the wooden wall of the sleeping ship. The salt air of Inazuma was peculiar, and familiar to you both - with a small swoosh of chattering treetops from the far shore, and the licking of languid waves at the hull of the Crux. 
“It’s alright- I can still save this one. Just  extend your hand over here so I can see it a bit better. Thank you-” you continuously mumbled, still thinking about the first lines of a dinosaur that turned out too oval when the ink bled out, it looked like a balloon, and the next one looked less of a dinosaur and more of a horse - but this one, yes, this one was the one.. You could see it under the combined light of the golden lamp and the silver rays of the moon above. Kazuha could only smile and chuckle, making a great effort to stay as still as a rock. The gentle smile was full of affection as he watched you, paying you much more attention than the little doodles you were leaving across his arms. He knew of their value, and how much he would cherish them until the ink was washed away with time, but right now, you were the most important thing of all.
“If you need some of my advice, I think this one could use a longer tail?” He suggested softly, carefully lifting his other arm that was still devoid of your little talent, and pointed at the dinosaur you were occupied at the moment with. ”And, perhaps, instead of drawing detailed eyes, just draw them closed? That way, if it ends up bleeding out, it won’t fuse with the rest of the body?”
You nod, without giving further response and do as he suggested, smiling when the tip paid of a million, and Kazuha’s own smile could only spread further across his cheeks until his eyes crinkled with mirth.  With the hand he pointed with, he brushed hairs from your eyes that went astray, pinning them behind your ear with a hum.
There were several hours of night ahead, but he knew he would wish there were a couple of more, just so he could have his peace with you like this.

OOOOH my bad homie let me try again
Self aware genshin Au
Beidou Ei Yae sucrose and ninnguang reaction to darling entering genshin and proposing to them and taking them back home with them
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ I AM PROPOSING
a/n: THIS. THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE - I LOVE YOU.
gn!reader, poc!reader friendly :)
_________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐
Yae Miko was just chilling at the Grand Narukami Shrine when she heard the familiar sound of a certain genshin player logging in. She smiled and looked directly into your camera, you had spawned here for a reason. Ever since you found out that the characters you knew and loved became self-aware, which was probably a glitch but whatever, there were no characters for you to control; only for you to chat to and walk alongside. You only deployed parties when it came to fighting- but most of the time it was you, your beloved travellers and Paimon and your party. This all happens in first person, unless you need to actually use the characters. Then it becomes third person. That information isn't relative to the writing, but to give you and idea. Speaking of which, you had other ideas than doing commissions and completing expeditions, no. You were going to propose to the Lady Guuji, through the screen, even though she was fictional. The kitsune was in shock when you did though! Her cheeks were rosy and arms folded tightly. Well, if you insist, [name]. I shall be your wife, and I shall wait for you here every day.
It was another day on the Crux Fleet for Captain Beidou, for Kazuha, and the rest of the crew. Once again, the familiar whoosh rang in her ears over the sound of the waves and she grinned. The woman waved the wandering samurai over, and together they both came to greet you. You told them to hold on whilst you claimed your Blessing of the Welkin Moon, but in actual fact you were rehearsing to ask Beidou to marry you. You had told Kazuha the plan in advance, and he might've been a little upset that it wasn't him that you were proposing to - but hey at least he was getting a second parent! Hey, crew, [name]'s here! Oh? You want to speak to me privately? That's fine. You and the captain moved to the sleeping quarters below deck. So, what did you wanna talk about, huh? You- you want to marry me? Why? All I've ever done is disappoint people my whole life. Are you sure this isn't a joke? No? Oh, okay... Beidou looked down at the wooden floorboards, her hairpin shining due to the amber lanterns that illuminated the lower deck. Sure, I'll marry you.
Sucrose, little baby Sucrose. She was up in Dragonspine with Albedo conducting experiments in the extreme cold, but then you came along. Of course she had to say hello! Albedo greeted you warmly, coming in for a hug but had to settle for a high five instead. He couldn't do that either so he decided on a smile and a wave. When you were asked by Sucrose what you were doing on the icy mountain, you leaned on your desk and placed your head in your hands. Frost sounds. You were dying of Sheer Cold. Did you move? No. You dramatically lowered your voice to make it sound like you were dying, and sank into back into your chair slowly as you spoke. This caught the assistant alchemists attention. Just as you were on 150hp, your speech came to a close. Wait, no! I love you but please get to somewhere warm! You smiled at her softly before collapsing, only playfully but you know how she is, making her fret and frenzy. Albedo chuckled softly. Relax, Sucrose, they'll respawn.
Ei cocked her head to the side and blinked twice. Why would you want to marry her? As far as she knew, she was part of a virtual simulator and you were real. She could see you, you could see her. Was that not enough for you? However, the concept of marriage did seem nice, so... Okay, I accept your proposal. I shall make the public aware of our engagement.
Ningguan was in the Jade Chamber when you spawned, she wanted to say hello but you got straight to the point. Congratulations! You've flustered Liyue's leader! I- this is a big honour, but quite sudden, no? I'm not saying that I will not marry you, but I'm not saying that others will like it either. Whatever, let those Inazuman fools come after me. I'll take matters into my own hands. Of course I'll marry you :)

@genshinwomenarehot requested a tangled au with yandere!ningguang who acts like a mother gothel figure to darling but my dumbass accidentally deleted it while answering 😭 I'M SO SORRY AAAAAAAA hope this can compensate<3333
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gosh...imagine the GASLIGHTING.
I'd like to imagine darling as a sort of ‘lucky charm’ to Ningguang, by whose presence Ningguang's wealth flourishes — or at least, that's what she tells herself whenever her ruby gaze glides over your being. And she doesn't hesitate to shower you in the same opulence, too. You've always wanted to try this dish/dessert? Expect a whole banquet for dinner. You've wanted to try your hand at this craft? You'll find the finest materials to get started before you in minutes. You like books? Well, now you own a library. You're feeling lonely? You could've just said you wanted her to take a day-off and pay attention to you.
You've been so smothered by her benevolence that you're blissfully unaware of your predicament. The only times when this delicate saccharine dream seems to crack is when you bring up the outside world.
Even before being offered to Ningguang, you've had scarce chances for the sunlight to properly graze your skin. You did not think of it for much either and eventually, the space outside her abode seemed to spark detest within you. Therefore, the thoughts almost never occurred—after all, why should you when Ningguang says no? She has seen the worst of this world, only she is aware of the dangers lurking in every corner, she knows best. So you remained content and stayed put, much like the porcelain dolls decorating a corner of your bedroom.
But can you be blamed though? When the scenes narrated in the fantasy novels appear so glimmering, when a foreign delicacy appeases your taste buds and you'd wonder how the place it came from is like, how the people are like — so unlike what Ningguang tells you. Is the budding curiosity really as vacuous as she dismisses it as? Or is the fraction of suspicion taking root inside your soul, suspicion that your saviour, without-who-you-would-die is, perhaps lying — really just paranoia borne from lack of sleep?
With time, this skepticism extends its roots and perchance an outside force also gets involved, it'd be safe to say you would break free from these chains. But there's a catch ; you can break all the chains she craftily wrapped you in and hope for a better future — but how far do you think you can go with that ultimate shackle she has you trapped in? After all, when Lady Ningguang has her eyes on a treasure, its fate and rightful place is already determined, in her possession.

「 ### : 」 gn reader, reunions, established relationship, fluff, Beidou lifts you up and spins you around at one point.
Reposed from my secondary blog !!
Tumblr media
You’ve been counting. Every second, every minute, every hour. Too long since you’ve last seen her, since you’ve watched her sail away from the port. Each wave that crashes against the docks of Liyue harbor easily reminds you of Beidou and makes your heart ache. Salt and seawater only remind you of her; of her touch, of her voice. Of her lips, that taste of whatever drink she’s had last. A sigh escapes you. Wistful, is all you can think to describe yourself. Hopeful, maybe.
The route you take through Guyun stone forest is a familiar path, one you could navigate in your sleep. The sun is still rising for the day when you reach the entrance of the cave and head in. Here, after a brief walk, is a small cliff that juts out to face the ocean that gives you the perfect view of the horizon (and of the Alcor, should she be sailing your way.) The flora and the crystal flies that hang in the air give the place an etherial energy. Adventurers come by to challenge the nearby domain, so they keep monsters away, though they hardly ever bother you. 
In the past, when you grow restless for Beidou’s return, you find yourself coming here. It’s easy to pass time, to take a breath of fresh air, and to hope you’d see the familiar prow in the distance. 
Like most other days, time passes for you quickly in your little hideaway. You take out what you’ve brought to kill time with today: a pen and paper that you sketch the crystal flies with, a book, and some work that you decided you needed a change of scenery to complete; small things that can hold your attention enough to use up your energy over time. 
It’s after you polish off the lunch you’ve brought for yourself that your eyes begin to droop. All the anticipation’s got you more tired than you first realized, you figure around a yawn. When you gaze out back into the sea, the wind has grown slow and quiet, and the only thing you can see on the horizon is the faint silhouette of Inazuma in the distance.
“Not today, then,” you say to yourself in a quiet murmur, pushing the disappointment to the back of your mind. Not much else to really do in that case— oh well, you can always take a quick nap and head back for the harbor, you decide, pushing down the sliver of disappointment.
Nodding in agreement to yourself, you get as comfy as you could on the cool, mossy ground. With your head resting on your knapsack as a makeshift pillow, you let yourself be lulled to sleep by the rhythmic chorus of the waves, and you’re lost to sleep in mere minutes.
When you wake up, you immediately know you’ve overslept. Golden light leaks in to the cave from the sea, unlike the bright midday sun from earlier, painting the stony walls in a pretty orange and yellow mural. You sit up, grimacing and check around you for your things and notice how late it’s gotten. The winds have picked up much more over the course of your nap, too, you notice, still trying to shake out the post-sleep fuzz from your head.
You curse, springing to you feet with such urgency that black spots flash in your vision for a quick second and you have to take a moment to regain your balance.
With clumsy fingers you shrug your bag back on after making sure everything’s accounted for, then sigh, preparing to make your way back—
When a sharp, distant whistle interrupts your train of thought.
You react first, brow furrowing in annoyance as you whip around to the source of the sound. The light of the sunset catches in your eyes, making you wince. It takes a few seconds of blinking to clear it, but when it does, your eyes are drawn to the big, big ship anchored some ways off of the shore, and your breath hitches. 
For a second, you think you might be asleep still, might be dreaming up the crash of the waves against the wooden hull and the cawing of the gulls perched on the rails. You blink again and again and again, not believing your own eyes.
Her sails are a familiar red and gold. The dragon figurehead on her prow gleams in the sun, reflecting the golden hour light. It looks none the worse for wear, you think with relief. No charring from lightning blots, no new holes from enemy canons. All safe, all in one piece.
Elation fills you as you take in the sight of her, a smile growing on you. On the deck, the sailor are all busy, heaving cargo and exchanging words, but your eyes are drawn to only one person, who’s already focused on you.
Beidou’s forearms are braced on the balustrade, one hand raised in a wave when you catch sight of her. It’s like time stands still— the rush of the waves and the whisper in the wind all falls to background noise when you see her. She leans against her ship with all the confidence in the world, but you can see the springs that coil under her skin, even from so far away. You can read the tension in her limbs from here, how she wants nothing more but to jump from her ship and go to you, swimming against the tides if she must.
You train your gaze on her. Taking her in. Taking in how nothing is separating you two but some water, and not even a mile’s worth of it. In your chest, your heart thrums faster, skin tingling with the urge to reach out and close the distance.
Beidou says something, but her voice doesn’t carry on the wind as well as her whistle had. It’s impossible to hear her, but then she gestures with a pointed thumb and a wide grin to her left, near the shore, where the water mixes in with the sand of Guyun, and where the cranes like to gather to pick at fish and crabs. Without even thinking, just driven on by the beat of your heart, you nod.
Beidou turns around, you presume to yell at her crew to get her a rowboat, and you take off running. Past the crystal flies, past the domain. Your legs burn from exertion and you’re not even sure if you’re breathing right as you navigate out and back onto the beach. And yet, the smile you wear is ecstatic, a happy warmth on your cheeks. You feel like bursting from your seams, the joy and elation warming your blood making you want to yell, to shout, to whoop for joy. 
Your feet skid in the sand when you finally get out and make a sharp turn to the beach. This is where she meets you— where she always meets you, whenever she comes back. Overhead, flecks of dark blue and purple have appeared in the sky, contesting the bright orange hue of the setting sun that’s begun to kiss the surface of the ocean. In the distance, you can see Beidou in her rowboat, steadily making her way closer to you. The sight of her so close sends you into a tizzy, bunching up your stomach and stealing any remaining breath from your lungs. You laugh, shucking off your shoes and tossing your bag somewhere into the sand. The beach is coarse and warm under your bare feet, still fresh from their bath in the sun’s rays. Hastily, you wade into the ocean, carving your way through the water with a splash as you go. 
So close— She’s so close!
“Beidou!” You yell once she’s within earshot. You continue wading through the shallows to meet her, the water up to your knees already. She waves, that smile of hers growing brighter the closer you get.
As impatient as you, she disembarks from the small boat, jumping into the water with a great splash!, uncaring of how her boots and the tail of her outfit are probably soaked. She too cuts through the water, eager to meet you again.
Beidou falls into your open, waiting arms, her own wrapping around you as she buries her nose into your neck. It’s a collision that feels so right, feels so damn familiar, like two puzzle pieces coming together. You breath in the scent of wood and sea from her hair, tightening your arms around her middle. 
“Hey,” Beidou says, breathless, and you melt.
The two of you take a second to breathe in each other’s presence. Beidou’s warmth chases away the longing you had felt in a mere instant. You hold her against you, and she holds you against her, both of you heedless of the water and waves that lap at your legs.
You feel Beidou’s grin on your neck before she pulls away to look you in the eye. Her gaze flits over your face, as if memorizing the sight that she had missed on the open ocean. You press a kiss to her forehead, then her nose, then her lips, where you let the touch linger for a second longer. It’s such a simple gesture, but it has Beidou’s eyes fluttering shut easily. You almost laugh at how relaxed her expression becomes in your arms, when you feel her hands relocate and grip at your sides. There’s a split second for you to catch how her arms flex in anticipation before you’re easily being lifted up. Nothing on Beidou’s face betrays any sort of struggle— if anything, her expression lights up even more. She spins you around in a circle, the wind whipping at the side of your face and drawing happy laughter from both you and her. When you’ve had your fun she slows, gently easing you down until your forehead is pressed against hers, and her breath is mingling with yours.
One of your hands comes up to trace the side of her face, and Beidou easily leans into the touch. “I missed you,” you say, voice quiet.
“I’m sorry I made you wait so long.” Her hand cups yours, holding it in place as she leans into your touch. You laugh at the half-apologetic, half-mischievous look she shoots you, her red eyes gleaming in the setting sun. Powerless to how she holds you, how she loves you, you can only shake your head and lean in for another kiss, your breath ghosting against her lips. 
“You say that like I wouldn’t wait forever for you.”
