OH MY GOD??? BIRTHDAY??? womb evacuation day, as i like to call itđ
this got me thinking tbh. modern au, what time would genshin men tell u happy birthday?
first up our 00:01 squad would text u or pull up outside.. mmm thoma 100% hes down bad,, childe as well!! potentially venti
next the boys who wouldn't text and go out of their way to see u first thing!! diluc, kazuha & itto (trust me on this one!!)
would tell u whenever they happened to remember/see you that day .. kaeya, gorou, albedo
WOULD FORGET :(( ayato, xiao
failed to figure out how to text you and spent the morning pecking at phone buttons -zhongli
-đ«§
Hi bubbly nonnie!! i sincerely apologise for my tardiness (yes i still have your diluc req in the inbox, yes i'm working on it). anyway, here's what i think...
(romantic pairings bc i'm just like that)
"birthday"
thoma, childe, kaeya, zhongli, diluc (separate) x gn!reader
genre: drabble
word count: idk (oops)
a/n: i'm lazy, its been summarised, i don't even count this as a fic i'm just trying to make it look like one because you guys haven't been fed recently and i sincerely apologise. also i made up shit about fontaine to make it fit, do excuse xoxo
thoma definitely shows up outside with cake and a party hat for you both at 12am sharp. does a little dance whilst singing happy birthday to you, and once you've both gotten back into the house and you've blown your candles out, he will immediately pull you in by the waist and kiss you, he just wants you to know he appreciates you!
childe has a tradition each year of making sure he is with you on your birthday, he wants to be there to congratulate you on a new year of you, the second it comes along. The second the clock hits the hour of your birthday, he hugs you tightly before separating from you, announcing...
"you're just as beautiful as last year, darling"
kaeya, the flirty bastard... is still flirty. BUT doesn't want to bother you late at night so instead, he will find you in the morning, when you're in mondstadt buying some groceries, approach you from behind whilst you're trying to buy some fruits (he almost got himself punched) and wrap his arms around your waist. yes you very nearly elbowed him in the stomach, he managed to step out of the way. would casually place his head on your shoulder from behind whilst hugging you and announce, in a low tone...
"happy birthday my dear, i've gotta run, knighthood calls. see you tonight?"
"thanks, kae. see you tonight"
and not that either of you noticed, but the fruit vendor happened to overhear you both, offering you the produce for free.
"if there's anything the people of mondstadt know, far better than barbatos' winds, or how to spot a good wine, it's the cavalry captains love for his partner. here, have a nice birthday, y/n."
unfortunately due to circumstance, zhongli was not able to be in liyue on your birthday. of course, this made him quite upset. he would have teleported back only he had an important meeting in fontaine, and it was stipulated in a contract that he couldn't teleport, lest someone found out about something they shouldn't. thankfully, he had been gifted a smartphone by you for his own birthday the previous year, which he still hadn't quite figured out how to use.
at first he thought he should call you, forgetting that time zones were a thing. sadly by the time he had actually figured out how to make a call (he had to ask focalors, it was an awkward interaction, she also did not know.) he realised that you were quite a few hours ahead of him, and had probably already gone out for the day and couldn't chat.
so he decided to text you. which did not go well (his hands are too big for those damned tiny buttons). he isn't sure till this day if the message even sent, because you never responded.
turns out he had sent it to tartaglia, who actually understood phones enough to forward the text to you...
"gaooy biethdsy mt libe, u hipe thus dsy ia as beauutofil as tou"
diluc is bad at romance. let me rephrase that: diluc does not know how to express his feelings, but wants to spend your birthday with you, so he tries to make it look like an accident that he just happened to be by your side all day.
first thing in the morning, you will notice a noble eagle flying in the sky outside your home. you knew that this bird was none other than dilucs own.
"how strange... why couldn't he just ask me to come to the winery...?"
nevertheless, the large bird flew its way down to land on your garden fence, its sharp talons somehow not scratching the wood, and called to you (i know nothing about birds, sorry), before flying back into the sky in the direction you knew diluc would be waiting. so, you had no choice but to follow it, right?
upon arriving at the winery, you were met by a handsome man in a black dress shirt, holding a bouquet of cecelias. he grabbed your hand and kissed you on the cheek.
"happy birthday, y/n"
SORRY THESE STARTED OFF SHORT AND THEN MY BRAIN STARTED INFODUMPING ON ME
i apologise thoma stans (i'm one of you) i have let you down this day

HELLO!! the bubble emoji anon here. on pc.. so no emojis for me today [heart breaking emoji]. what do i do without emojis??? die?? yes.
ANYWAYS. saw u in need of fluff. me too.
diluc and reader who r absolutely pining for each other but aren't together. the little things. omg. the long hugs. the quick glances. the denial to coworkers/friends.. "no we are nOT together!!" (pls date me diluc) brushing of the fingers in public. trying to squeeze out every last minute together. SECRET EYE CONTACT AT THE SAME TIME!!! BLUSHING!!!! aaAAAAAHAHAHAHAH
per standard, i went off prompt, forgive me.
"if you need me"
diluc x gn!reader
genre: fluff (ish)
word count: 1.4k
tags: kaeya jumpscare, also venti kajhdjfak, farts (don't ask), diluc probably has problems with his emotions (if i write him, when does he not?), lil kisses cuz why not
tw/cw: alcohol, reader refuses to address their emotions (oops), also reader cries at one point (immediately comforted)
a/n: when will i ever stick to a prompt...
when you discovered that angels share was hiring, you were the first to jump upon the opportunity. after all, who wouldnât want to work somewhere with decent pay, such a social environment, and under such a handsome bossâŠ
1 day
âyouâre the new employee, right?â
âuhm, yeah! thatâs me!â
âright⊠your rĂ©sumĂ© is⊠impressiveâ
âthank you, master dilucâ
âjust diluc is fineâ
âo-okayâ
âmost of your shifts will be shared with charles, but i will be working alongside you too. remember to wipe down the bar often, check the stock after each shift et cetera, iâm sure charles will keep you rightâ
âyep, okay!â
as he turned to go out of the bar and back to the winery, he snapped his head back towards you while you were putting your apron on.Â
âoh and, if a little green man with a lyre comes in here, kick him out by eleven, lest mondstadt experiences some sort of unfortunate windâ
âunfortunate⊠wind?â
âno it's- not like thatâ
diluc seemed to turn a little red, having accidentally suggested that lord barbatos had some sort of issue with his bowels.
âhaha, no worries. iâll see you tomorrow then?â
âyes, good luck. if you have any questions, ask charlesâ
3 days
ây/n, are you settling in well?â
âah, hi! i've started getting used to the customers, thatâs for sure.â
âhave you run into any problems with them?â
âno, no, not at all. it can just be rather busy in here sometimes. between the knights and the guild, people really drink like crazyâ
âhm, i suppose thatâs one thing the knights are good at. if you need me, iâll be in the backâ
2 weeks
this is your fifth shift with diluc. he can be quite tense at times, but once you manage to initiate a good conversation with him about something heâs interested in, he can be quite chatty. you had encountered this the last time you had a shift together, when he began talking about some specialty wine that the winery was producing, it was actually quite pleasant, watching the man talking about this interest of his, although he did get a little embarrassed when he realised he had gone off on a rant.Â
the events of todays shift however, includedâŠ
diluc accidentally making eye contact with you, at least four times (it was not an accident, he was very intentionally looking at you)
the pair of you touching hands multiple times whilst trying to serve customers
and also, for some reason, diluc getting somewhat annoyed at a random knight captain who happened to waltz into the tavern and begin trying to sweet talk you.Â
4 weeks
by this point youâve already learned that diluc and kaeya -as you now called him- were brothers, but had some sort of tension between them, which you also figured would be best not to meddle in. they were always at each others throats, but when they were apart, were both quite pleasant to be around. you had even hung out with kaeya once, sharing a meal at good hunter.Â
this would prove to be a mistake though, because he did nothing the entire time except continually asking if you were âcanoodlingâ his brother. of course you denied it, feeling rather flustered. why on earth would someone date their boss? even though things did seem a little flirty between the two of you, it was a definite that nothing could happen, right? of course diluc made you only seem more suspicious, as he saw you and kaeya at lunch, immediately approached you both, and sat way too close to you, almost as if he was jealous or something! what an awkward meal.Â
2 monthsÂ
personal issues were not something you had to deal with often, but when you did, you tended to shut them down, ignore them, and continue with life. you werenât one to dwell. however, on the particular day in question, you were pretty upset, and this only seemed to get worse the more people asked you how your day was going whilst ordering a drink. you also knew that diluc would be coming in for his shift later, and you really didn't feel like dealing with his stoicism today. of course heâs nice to be around, just⊠a little awkward? he doesnât make you uncomfortable or anything, heâs just not very chatty, and wouldnât be great about distracting you from your feelings.
you could eventually hear some noise in the back, and realised this was diluc, probably sorting stock, or taking inventory, something along those lines. you, however, were still serving customers, taking drink orders, the usual.Â
of course, the later it got, the drunker customers became, your mood began to slowly get worse. you were exhausted, and honestly just wanted to go home and cry. it's been a rough day. you also happened to notice that the fridge below the counter was running low on bottles, so youâd best go stock it.Â
as you entered the back room, you saw diluc at the desk, filing paperwork. heâd been there for hours, and still hadnât gone out front to say hello to you.Â
ây/nâ
âdilucâ
gosh, the silence could be cut with a knife.Â
âyâknow, it's common practice to greet your employees when you feel like gracing them with your presenceâ
âi know, i'm sorry, it's just that i got caught up with something and i- are you okay?â
âhuh- what? yeah, yeah, iâm fineâ
so it seems that the tears in your eyes were still noticeable after allâŠ
he slowly got up from his seat, coming to stand beside you at the shelf.
âiâll ask again⊠are you okay?â
this time, you were choked up. you feared that if you spoke, the lump in your throat might dissipate, and you may just begin spilling tears. so, you opted for shaking your head, thinking this would work better, but it didnât, you still began crying anyway.
âhey, hey, itâs okay. whatever it is, it's okay, iâm hereâ
he pulled you towards him, allowing you to sob into his chest. what on earth�
âyou shouldâve told me, y/nâ
âi know but, i thought maybe iâd get distracted and i-â
âitâs okay. i assure you. do you want to go home?â
you just nodded against his chest, breathing in his scent, because you knew youâd have to let him go.
âalright, you can go out the backâ
he somewhat awkwardly let go of you, before sending you on your way. how strange. how is he so nice one minute, then as cold as to send you home the next?Â
âsee you tomorrow, y/nâ
âs-see youâŠâ
2 months, 1 day
a ringing of your doorbell woke you up, as opposed to your alarm, which was worrying in itself. you quickly checked the clock in your room. shit! 1pm? late for work... how on earth could you have slept this much? and what did this mysterious person at the door want?
you slothed your way out of bed, hair awry, pyjamasâŠwrinkled, going to the front door to see what this person could possibly want at this time on a tuesday. approaching the door, you saw a tall figure, clad in a red jacket, with something in hand⊠it couldnât be⊠is itâŠ
âdiluc?â
âdiluc? hi- yes- diluc- me!â
he sighed at himself, meanwhile you were wondering what he was doing with such a massive bouquet of flowers.
âhiâ
âhiâ
âi um⊠wanted to⊠bring you flowers⊠becauseâŠâ
âbecauseâŠ?â
âuhm⊠would you like to go to dinner tonight? I mean- we can- just- not... if you don't want to... i mean-â
âiâd love to.â
âoh, um⊠okay! great. here you goâŠâ
he handed you the flowers gently, looking beyond anxious at this point, a blush to compete with the colour of his hair dashed across his cheeks.Â
âtheyâre beautiful, dilucâ
âyouâre- uhm⊠never mindâ
âhah, see you tonight?â
âsee you tonightâ
he smiled into the words he spoke, before turning around to depart from your doorstep. this however, was interrupted when you grabbed his wrist, turned him around and pecked him on the cheek. he was about to explode. literally. however, his spontaneous combustion was interrupted by someone yelling across the streetâŠ
âi knew it!â
of course, you and diluc responded in syncâŠ
âSHUT UP KAEYA!â
hehe

HIIIII CAN I BE 𫧠ANON?? ILY THANKS!!!
could i get diluc (+ ur favs!!) assisting reader whoâs hurt in battle :(( jus want my darknight hero to come rescue me đźâđšđźâđš
hi nonnie! sorry it took me a while to get this done. i honestly don't really like what i've come up with but i hope its something along the lines of what you were looking for! also, i decided to make this a oneshot as opposed to hc's, so enjoy!
"do not concern yourself with such matters"
diluc x gn!reader
genre: fluff, hurt/comfort (???)
word count: 900-ish
tags: lol get rescued ig, diluc doesn't know how to interact normally which is lowkey kinda funny, reader gets injured, physical contact/being carried?
tw/cw: cuts, wounds, generally just,, pain? also diluc lowkey just takes the reader to his house while they're unconscious (no negative intent), idk how to put this other than "examining the thighs" of the reader but he's TREATING A CUT OKAY? i think that's it?
a/n: eek this took to long to write bc i was being lazy, so it might feel a little disjointed or as celeste would put it: "might read like a wet dog"
cryo abyss mage.
23:00Â
200m from dawn winery.
you awoke with a pounding head, and little to no feeling in any part of your body, blurry vision and barely any consciousness, just feeling icy, freezing. you noticed nothing but pure, vibrant vermillion, before closing your eyes again, not knowing at all what was going on, completely unaware.
23:35
50m from dawn winery
slowly willing your eyes open, in a daze, with your head resting against something warm, comforting, you could hear loud breathing, and some sort of fast movement⊠running? someone was⊠carrying you? with it being far too exhausting to stay awake, you closed your eyes once again...
00:30
dawn winery
you awakened in a warm room, in some sort of bed. a cosy blanket covered your legs and waist, and your head rested on soft pillows. you had very little recollection of anything that happened, but still felt oddly safe. upon looking around the room, you saw a few dimly lit lamps, oak furniture, some sort of grand vanity set, and wooden floorboards.Â
the stream of thoughts running through your head was interrupted by the entrance of a tall, handsome man, dressed in a black t-shirt and some sort of lounge trousers, wearing thinly rimmed glasses, sporting the same vermillion locks you had envisioned earlier. and he was⊠carrying two glasses of water? this man was⊠what was his name? the bartender⊠ah, yes!
âmaster ragnvindr? what.. are you doing here? what am i doing here? what happened?â
âthere is no need for being so formal, since weâve spoken before. then again perhaps you donât remember, you were rather intoxicated. call me diluc. as for what iâm doing here, this is my home, why wouldnât i be here? as for what happened, and why you are here⊠i think you might need a lesson on why we shouldn't approach enemies alone, hm?
âbut⊠the abyss mage. it was outside th-â
âi took care of it. donât worryâ
âi-okayâ
there was a silence in the room, which was somewhat uncomfortable, awkward, but not unbearable, and you knew it was up to you to break it.Â
âwhatâŠâ
âwhat happened?â
âi presume from your injuries, and the fact that the mage was no longer shielded that you managed to break its shield before it hit you with an attack. judging by your current symptoms it seems that it hit you with some sort of direct cryo energy to the head, which explains your lack of consciousnessâÂ
âbut⊠why were youâŠ?â
âdo not concern yourself with such mattersâ
âi⊠butââ
âhere, i brought you water. you should focus on recovering for now. how are you feeling?â
he moved himself to sit next to you on the bed, as you sat up to take the glass out of his hand.Â
âthanks⊠iâm okay, just a bit acheyâ
âachey? did you sustain any other injuries?â
âuh, my leg feels a little weird, but donât worry about it, iâm sure itâs fineâ
"if you are injured, you must tell me.â
âi think it might be cut but⊠itâs fine, iâll deal with itâ
âwhere?â
âoh⊠uh-â
âwhere.â
his tone was stern, but certainly not angry. somehow gentle but assertive at the same time.
âuh, somewhere on my thigh, i think-â
âgive me one moment.â
he got up and abruptly left the room. this diluc -as you now called him- certainly was a strange, strange manâŠ
you then heard the door into the room click closed once again. the man was now holding a first aid kit, and what looked like a pair of shorts⊠how odd.Â
âhere, change into these and iâll have a look at it.â
âbut⊠master diluc, donât you think thatâs a little-â
âa little what?â
âuh, nothing, nevermindâŠâ
âiâll be back in a fewâ
âoh, uhm, okayâŠâ
and so, seemingly having no other option, you slowly, somewhat painfully changed into the shorts, noticing a lesion on your right thigh. it wasnât particularly deep, but it was long, and still bleeding a little bit.
a knock on the door put an end to your thoughts.
âare you done? may i come in?â
âuh⊠yeah.â
he slowly opened the door, you sitting on his bed looking at your wound, and him looking concerned. he then sat down on the bed beside you, after lifting the first aid kit from the dresser where he had left it. he proceeded to lift some antiseptic out, to start cleaning the wound.Â
âhere, this might sting a bitâ
he pushed the hem of the shorts up your leg a bit so he could have full access to the cut. he then began dabbing at it with the cotton.
âagh, it hurtsâ
that feeling was immense pain, and you felt a little childish, having your injuries tended to like this.
purely by natural instinct, diluc moved his free hand to one of yours, interlacing your fingers with his and squeezing gently. his hand was warm and calloused, and he was extremely focused on the task at hand, so he didnât seem to notice you admiring his rather striking features.
âyouâre okay, iâm almost doneâ
you hissed in pain, burying your head into his shoulder out of instinct. thankfully he didnât seem to mind.Â
âthere, done. are you alright?"
âyeah, yeah, thank youâ
ânot a problem. do you need anything else?â
âuh, no, i donât think soâ
âalright, in that case then, i'll be going to bed.â
âwaitâ
âyes?â
âuhâŠâ
âuh?â
âcan you⊠stay?â
âi was waiting for thatâ
(au where diluc is secretly a flirty bastard)

what's ur opinion on the cats vs dogs deabate? are hot dogs a sandwich or a taco?? PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA????
-đ«§
HI! omg okay I have my takes alr let's go
"cats vs dogs?" I think its kinda dumb when people compare them when they're such different animals, and i don't have a favourite bc I was raised around both. I think dogs are more energetic and time consuming, but they're still great company, its just really sad that a lot of people get dogs without having the time to look after them :( if I had to get another pet rn it would probably be a cat just because they're a bit lower maintainence than dogs (i have 4 dogs and a cat atm pahahah)
"are hot dogs a sandwich or a taco?" DAMNNNN WHAT? I've always thought of hotdogs as a separate entity altogether. they're defo not tacos, tacos need a taco shell, that's what makes tacos taco. so I guess, ultimately they're a sandwich cuz like,,,, bread, meat (optional condiment) bread. no?
"pineapple on pizza?" yes, final answer. (only on certain types tho, if someone gave me a pepperoni pizza with pineapple on it I'd punch the person (alliteration)
OK LOVE U NONNIE TY FOR UR QUESTIONS
I feel so famous
