I'm a terrible person with words, but here I go. (using a translator, my English is a little shit when it comes to writing and a little bit when it comes to pronunciation, ha!)

I would like to say with ALL my heart that I love your work and the writing in "Sing to Me", my heartbeat even accelerates when I remember the existence of this work of art and how wonderful the sensation was, the euphoric feeling of read each chapter and see all the care and dedication put into it. I have immense affection for Raiden, Sam (and Monsoon :)). Seeing how complex they are in the story brings me immense satisfaction, and I just wish all the positive recognition for you, it's impeccable.

(There's a lot I'd like to express, like my hyperfocus- but hey, I'm a terrible person at showing appreciation and affection, I hope you got the message anyway :))

hugs and kisses from a Brazilian! 🇧🇷❤

Oi, não se preocupa! Não sou falante nativo, mas entendi muito bem. Da próxima vez, você pode me escrever em pt-br (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Thank you so much!! I am really happy to know that you enjoy my work 💕 Honestly, every time someone tells me that they enjoy Sing to Me so much, I am getting really happy. This fic means a lot to me and gives me lots of strength and stability, although on the outside it might look that I am not doing much for it for the past year (I do, it's just background work that I can't show T_T massive spoilers and so on). But I mean, I kept saying that each time somebody came to my inbox about it for the last months.

And I am so glad to know that you're feeling like this for each chapter you've read so far! This fic in itself is really complex and long, I could give you a rough estimate of around ~100 Chapters for the main story (Those would be just arc 1-3, the series, however, has 6 arcs in total excluding the 2 AUs). Sooo... let me say, you've got a lot to look forward to, I suppose :3

Also I hope that you'll be curious about the revisions too. Chapter 5 and 6 will have a darker tone than their current version that is on AO3 at the moment, but also will be much better in quality. Chapter 6 will have major changes I think, especially the second halve of it. I am all giddy and excited myself whenever I think about all the plans I have for this story. The drama, the comedy, the (bitter-) sweetness, but also the chaos, the pain and the darker parts of this fic. I wish I could go on a ramble but it's so many spoilers lmao And I don't want to take that away from my readers. If anything, I might drop a few essays about Raiden and Sam that I've got on my to-do list at some point, that in some cases will directly tie to Sing to Me as well.

The series also goes in great detail about Sam's past and who he is as a person because I was a bit dissatisfied with how most fics for this pairing at least that I've read didn't come up with much for his past (but I still liked all of them regardless), hence I went a little bit insane about him. To the point that Sam is technically my OC now (according to my beta reader) lmao

Jsyk, this is my current graph view of my Obsidian vault for Sing to Me and all the dots that connect to him:

My vault is an absolute mess still tbh because the program is a bit overwhelming when you don't know where to start, so this is far from how complex this fic actually even is.

What I can tell you pretty much spoiler free is that the series is complex because timeline wise, it starts in the year of 2001 and ends (technically) in the year of 2026. I say technically because ARC3.5: The War in Heaven goes a bit crazy with science fiction elements and time is... let's say, "relative". The main fic spans from 2019 until 2023 btw.

The prequel (ARC0: I Come with Knives) is entirely about Sam's past, from his POV entirely, and a collaboration with @thatthereneverwas since he originally requested me to write it. Basically adding more Sam lore that we definitely need :3

Please don't hesitate to come to my inbox or DMs if you want to chat about Sing to Me, samuraiden or just Sam or Raiden with me! I don't bite :] Monsoon is also my favourite from the Winds of Destruction aside from Sam, so I get you! I've been thinking of maybe including him in the fic as well, but it's uncertain how so yet, and if it will just be a flashback of some sort 🤔 But I take notes as I go, we'll see :3

Beijos pra você também 💞

Hiii! Thank you for responding to my last question. This ask isn't exactly about your story, but...why do you hc Raiden to be vietnamese?

Sorry, I was kind of stalking your posts😥🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏

Hello again!!! Sorry for the late response — I was abroad for a long time visiting family and I just finished my exam week today :D

First of all, I absolutely appreciate the comments and the support!!! It's nice to know that people enjoy my posts (and makes me feel like I'm not posting for nothing :P). I love answering questions no matter the context so keep them coming if you have any more!!!!!! I'm free for a while now so expect fast-ish responses (^∇^d)!!

Okay, so about your question: I personally like to think Raiden is Vietnamese but technically if I really had to headcanon, I'd headcanon him as Thai because his face model Krit McClean is Thai (love his work!!!)

It was sort of a slow progression. Before I say anything, I would like to clarify that I am Vietnamese so I base it all on my experience and therefore I am 101% bias :D

So, I kinda decided that he was Vietnamese when I was listening to Wren Evans (I absolutely love his album LOI CHOI) and i needed a playlist cover on Spotify because i made my own playlist with all the songs from LOI CHOI and some other vietnamese songs. But, before that, I based it on his rice hat because Vietnam is known for their rice hats (and many other things of course). Then, because I equally love MK11 Raiden, when I saw MK11 Raiden's friendship, I was like hey Vietnamese people really love their EDM/raves so like... it would be really funny if Raiden listens to EDM on a regular basis and considering he can do his own laser shows well he HAS to be a raver to some degree (I wouldn't put this in the story; maybe I'll add in how he listens to EDM like it's nothing for humour but this concept is just a fun thing for me). When I say Vietnamese people love EDM, they fucking love it.

A little more about me... I'm a raver (my main genres are Happy Hardcore and Euphoric Hardstyle) and I have a Japanese first name despite being Vietnamese. Most of my reasons comes from projections HAHAHA

There was this other Vietnamese song that I thought Raiden would listen to/relate to (I was going to say this in my new chap but I'll do it here as well :)): https://open.spotify.com/track/2nR51wakN5K3AJENqGaNg9?si=3aSO_umVTKuvPmje_8nMsg

Those are pretty much my main reasons. I probably won't specify his ethnicity in the story but for me personally, I find it humourous to imagine Raiden as some hardcore raver eating banh cuon under a massive ceiling fan. I don't think Raiden would be interested in the coffee culture that Vietnam has to offer, but he wouldn't mind frequently going out at night when it's cooler to some coffee place to eat che/sago and hang out with good friends

#thank you for your question!!!#raiden #mk1 #vietnamese #in vietnam 9/10 if you ever go to a beach there's probably a massive dj booth and sometimes there will actually be a DJ whipping out #EDM mix from soundcloud #why do tags only allow 140 each 😒🙄😒🙄😒🙄

𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 !!

honey’s notes: hello hello! I apologize for the very long wait, I had taken a break off of tumblr to just relax and not burn myself out with writing. I also apologize for the wait on some requests for my follow event since I also stopped writing those for a bit due to the same reason I stated before, but I am back, and I’ll be finishing the rest of my works :>

summary: you had been doing a good job hiding the genshin characters in your home for quite some time, the only thing is, your friends are a little suspicious on why you’ve been so secretive lately, and being your great friends, they decide to visit you, only to come face to face with the characters you’ve been secretly harbouring.

part 2

Reader uses they/them pronouns.

pairings : zhongli/ei/venti/aether/albedo x reader.

[content warning: obsession. yandere. your “friends” make fun of you, Violence. Threats of death.] (this will be said in every work of mine, if any of these subjects make you uncomfortable, I strongly suggest not reading this part of the series. I will be making a smaller, and less dark mini-filler for those who don’t want to miss the storyline of this series.)

recommended song: rumour has it - Adele.

It was long after you, Ei, and Zhongli had returned empty handed from the grocery store, just eager to get home after some man you didn’t even know grabbed you. Zhongli was stiff and almost always had his guard up, being hyper-aware of everything around you.

Ei doesn’t like your world, she realizes that she doesn’t have the authority she thought she didn’t need. She knew if people tried that back in teyvat, they’d have their head chopped off, publicly. The rest of the group either sat somewhat anxious, or genuinely curious. Zhongli and Ei felt too angry to speak about what happened in the grocery store.

They would never bug you about it though, it’s disrespectful for them, to even ask you to explain something to them is too much of a thing to ask for them. Venti looked at you, as you glanced back at him. He opened his mouth, expecting something to come out, but not a sound.

“At the grocery store, uhm..” you started, a silent sigh comes out. All ears perked up and all gazes were on you. “I can tell you all wanna know, so at the grocery store,” In your hand, a glass of water half-full, you swirled it around, a habit you did whenever you were anxious.

“an unknown man, came up to me and made me uncomfortable, I didn’t want to cause a scene, but there was no choice-“ crack-smash! the mug in Zhongli’s hands shattered in pieces. His jaw was clenched tightly, confirming the fact that he was still thinking about it.

You jumped slightly, the glass pieces of the mug all over the couch. You say nothing of it, and start picking up the pieces, but before you could, Aether was already gently pushing you away from the pieces of glass, he prefers if he pick up the pieces so you wouldn’t get cut but the sharp ends. You let him, too tired to argue back.

Another silence washes over the six (6) of you, the tension thick and almost unbearable. Zhongli coughed into his hands. “I apologize for breaking one of your cups, your grace.” He looked at you with solemn eyes, more guilty than he should be for breaking the cup. You shook your head, as if to say that it was fine and that you can always buy a new one.

“I..I could always continue telling what happened!” Ei chirped, before deflating back, feeling the heavy weights of tension and gazed on her back. “mm, sure, Ei. Go ahead.” You gave her the go ahead, seeing that Aether has come back from disposing the broken glass.

For some reason, you found your lap more interesting than looking around with your surroundings, Ei was at the part of the story where you had encountered that creepy man at the grocery store, you see from the corner of your eyes, Zhongli’s fist tightly clenched, and maybe even a few veins popping out from his temple. He was furious.

You discreetly placed your palm over his fist, to comfort him. You realize that you’re not the only one who’s been affected by that situation and your fellow acolytes see it too. Zhongli could feel the empathetic aura you radiate towards him, a silent thanks in his gaze as he glances at you.

Venti takes note of the way you gently take Zhongli’s hand into yours, although he secretly wishes it was him instead of his..friend, he is thankful to be blessed with such a kind and caring god. Even if you don’t know it, even if you have no recollection of memories from before when you were a god, you still carry their overwhelming kindness and generosity. That makes him happy. So happy.

Aether sees the same god who helped him on his journey from Mondstadt to Inazuma, he’s amazed to see how you care so greatly for such lowly beings like them. He’s in awe, and he feels more honoured that you chose him, the more he glanced at your small action towards comforting zhongli. He’s honoured and he admires you, so much.

Albedo is curious of your display of empathy towards the god of geo, he’s very known to be “emotionless” as most Mondstadt locals say, it’s not that he doesn’t have emotions, he just, doesn’t know how they work. He’s a human being made from something not so human. He’s curious about you, and he wants to know so much more about you, maybe all of you, if you let him.

Ei, she, she doesn’t know what to feel, she feels the need to focus on the situation that happened so it may never happen again, but she can’t help but feel, somewhat overwhelmed and outmatched. Although archons have the power to change their form, identity, she feels outmatched by the men that surround you. She’s seething with envy with the fact that the guys probably have an advantage towards your good graces, maybe she should..kill them..so she can be the only acolyte truly by your side? oh what is she thinking! You’d be devastated.

Ei shook her head and continued on with the telling of the horrid event that occurred.

“I got you a Japanese paint set! I heard from a friend they’re really good quality, so..” You handed the beautifully designed box to Albedo who stood a little shocked and red, how thoughtful of his god to get him something.

“Thank..you, your grace. I’ll cherish it for eternity.” Albedo shyly thanked you from behind the paint set, making you chuckle and smile. “How cute.” You voice, very amused at the fact that Albedo’s acting like a timid bunny. You can almost see flowers floating around him.

Albedo looked at you as you chuckled, what a wonderful sight he thinks, he’s gonna miss being able to be near you so easily once you return back to teyvat. Albedo opened his mouth to speak of something when the doorbell rings. You turn your head, setting your gaze at your front door.

“Venti, you didn’t order anything again without my permission, did you?” You called out, Venti’s head popped out from upstairs, his face just over the stair railing. “No, of course not! I’d never, bard’s word.” He crossed his heart with his fingers, making you even more curious.

“Who the heck is Venti?!, Y/N open up! Who’s in there?! I’m gonna fight them!” Muffled voices come from behind your front door as you gasp, you grabbed hold of Albedo’s hand pulling him to the stairs, you made a motion for him to stay before you pulled Zhongli, Ei and Aether to the stairs. “My friends are here, that means, they don’t know you’re here and so, we have to hide you in my room.” You explain while pushing them upstairs, the loud banging from your friends making you more anxious by the second.

“Stay in my room and do not, and I mean it, do not leave this room without me saying so, okay?” You stuff them into your room, half of them falling into your bed and the rest almost tripping over themselves, “do what you want to not be bored, just..don’t ruin my bedroom, and don’t you dare go through my closet again, I’m looking at you, Venti. I swear.” You glare at him as he nodded, visibly gulping.

You ran downstairs, finally opening the door to your friends, who fell all over your floor. “Y/N! YOU’VE GOT A TON OF SHIT TO EXPLAIN, YOU KEEP CANCELLING ON US AND FOR WHAT? NOT ONLY THAT, YOU TOOK A BREAK AT YOUR JOB!?” you winced as you get scolded by your friend (friend 1 name) “I apologize (friend 1), I’ve just been super busy, I-“ you stop talking to see the same friend sniffing your couch.

“EW it smells like…man..” they look at you with a suspicious look. “You, Y/N, L/N..had a man over?..a man? A.. A date?” they questioned, stepping closer to you as they squinted their eyes in suspicion. “No?- What are you going on about?-“ more of your friends started pooling into your living room, your cat, marsh started meowing in confusion also.

“IT SMELLS LIKE MAN. LIKE..OLD. MUSKY. MAN. Y/N..WHY DOES IT SMELL LIKE THAT- NO OTHER EXPLANATION THAN HAVING MEN OVER.” (Friend 2) stomps over to you, their finger poking at your chest. You had no idea what was going on as your friend dragged you to the couch, sitting them down with you.

“You’ve been missing at work for a good four (4) days, and you never and I mean never!” (Friend 2) exaggerated, “you never take such a long break, two (2) days maybe, but that’s like almost all of this week!” You say just listening to your friend ramble, you question in your head where you got such crazy people as friends.

“Are you okay? Is everything okay? Are you going crazy?? What is it, y/n?!?” Your friends shook you by the shoulders making you dizzy. “Okay! Okay stop!” You push them away, some of them stumbling. “I’ve just, not been feeling well okay? The- whatever scent you smelt or something is just a cologne I bought for a friend!” you stood up, a little annoyed and closed your still open door from them barging in.

Don’t get yourself wrong, you love your friends, but you really don’t like the way they decide when to just poke and prod into your private life. You ha d just turned to face your friends when suddenly- “[name]!! [name] [name] [name]!! Why’d you get albedo a gift?! Why not me? Where’s mine!” Venti had left the room specifically when you told him not to.

You stood flabbergasted as Venti whines at you, his hands grabbed hold of your hands, a pout on his lips, you can see from the corner of your eyes, your friends jaw dropped and shocked.

a little context, your friends have been the one to show you to genshin impact, if it weren’t for them, you would’ve never knew about Venti, or Zhongli, or Aether.

You sigh, “what the fuck.” Your friend voices.

That’s what brings you here, to another scenario where you had to explain what had happened and how fictional characters from a fictional game is now here. “I..I am speechless.” (friend 3) looked at you, disbelief in their eyes. You nodded sheepishly and laughed nervously.

“So they,” (friend 1) points at the huddled group behind you, “think you’re a god? Of teyvat?” Zhongli coughed, interrupting your friend. “Actually the creator, we don’t think, we know.” It was silent for a few moments, before your friends bursted out laughing. “I’m, I’m so sorry if you truly think y/n here is a god haha!” (Friend 2) replied in between laughs, holding their stomach.

“I mean I’d believe it if you told me they are just apart of a cosplay but, a god? You’re just making things up.” (Friend 1) retorted, “I mean look at them, how could you consider such a..normal looking person, to be a god?” Your friends ridiculed you in front of Zhongli, he’s reminded of the time at the grocery store, his fists curled tightly, his rings indented into his palm. He’s angry and offended that your friends have the nerve to even make fun of you. Venti was no longer smiling, watching your friends laugh about you was one thing, but to ridicule you and even deface you, in front of them? They’re just begging to be killed.

You were severely uncomfortable, your stomach churned and your hands shook, feeling the weight of the tension the group behind you radiated as your friends laughed even more, you couldn’t say that you didn’t expect this to happen, your lips was in a grim line and Aether and Albedo noticed, Aether placed his hand on your shoulder, an attempt to comfort you.

You glanced up at Albedo by your side, you can see the anger and the hunger of a revenge-filled being in them, your eyes slowly widened, you have to hold him back, if not, he’s going to kill your friends!

Ei could feel electricity forming around her, she was enraged, how dare these low life people you willingly indulged in, think they’re so much better then you. Ei couldn’t control herself from grabbing hold of your friend and slamming them against the table, you gasp standing up from your chair, you could hear the crack of your friends wrist being broken as they cry out in pain.

“Say that again, I dare you! Try to ridicule them again!” Ei’s eyes spirals in a frenzy, her gaze hazy, her lips contorted into an angry grin. “You’ve got some nerve, coming into our grace’s house, ruining their calm afternoon, and trying to accuse them of impersonating themselves.” Ei pushed your friend tighter and tighter into the table as they started crying from the pain, you were frozen, so were your other friends as they hyperventilated, you could hear their staggered breaths more than your own.

You could feel your heart beating quickly as you try to pull Ei off from your friend as your friend fell to the ground crying and sobbing at the pain of their broken wrist and the overwhelming fear they received from being pinned down so harshly onto your table.

Albedo stepped forward, a visible frown on his face as he tries to help your injured friend get up from their spot, receiving nothing but a slap and a ‘get away from me!’ In return. He stays quiet as he takes a deep breath in, clearly annoyed and wanting nothing more than to just, bash your friends’ heads in. But he wouldn’t, not in front of you at least.

“I suggest you get the hell out of here, you’ve ruined our grace’s moods and we have no problem getting rid of you if it makes them happy.” Albedo spoke out, scaring them even more. They nodded nervously as they grabbed hold of their injured friend and left the house, you stepped back from the scene, broken glass and spilt water covered your kitchen tiles, Ei’s angered figure, huffing, you can see her taking deep breaths, Albedo turned around to glance at you, your back was against the wall as you hear your shaking breath.

“What did you do, Ei?..”

﹙ % the enchanting allure of love. ﹚

ft. diluc, kaeya, xiao, scaramouche, childe, kazuha contains: gn!reader, fluff, sfw kisses, bittersweet, lore spoilers, archon quest spoilers, backstory spoilers, soft content

summary: what is love with him like?

[♡] plz forgive any spelling/grammatical errors, english is not my first language! ^ㅁ^

he may not be around for a majority of the time, however, love with diluc is more bewitching than the beauty of a new morning. every golden sunrise is filled with a variety of lethargic, chaste kisses peppered across your face, a smile holding nothing but significance & the euphoric feeling of deep devotion adorning his lovely lips. for the nights you spent alone in the manor, he would make sure to leave a letter behind, words of ink sinking into a simple paper left a bigger impact on your heart than you would have anticipated, his phrases full of admiration sent your chest thrumming with intense vibrations meant for a fever... or rather one's average love sickness. he knows the day will come when you leave him just like his father, yet he swears that will never happen, as long as he is here.

true to his appealing charm, kaeya's endearing tenderness for you leaves a satisfying enticement in your heart, the place only he can feel free to cherish, yearning for any sort of reciprocation all the same. every moment his fascinating periwinkle gaze meets yours, you swear you catch a glimpse of the hidden adoration he's been hiding all along from you, yet his grins & meaningful kisses make up for the facade that keep you from your lover. unlike his vision, his gestures are nothing but warm & fond, confirming you're comfortable with such, or watching his snarky comments as to make sure he isn't overstepping boundaries. the calvary captain wishes you hadn't chosen to love someone so cruel...

surprising, how the vigilant yaksha of liyue has come to soften at the presence of but a mere mortal. xiao supposes, this is what love feels like, & even so, he can't help but identify himself as nothing but the burden you carry in your worthwhile life. people at a fruitful age similar to you should be out & about, finding a person to suit, & most certainly not a monster as ghastly as him. yet he yearns for your touch every time, akin to that of a needy child clinging to their favourite toy. his arms that were once littered with dreadful battle scars now embrace your figure to his body, keeping you close & reassuring you, he'll stay. his karmic debt will never affect you, he thinks, as long as he is careful in the near future.

the raiden shogun needed a comrade, but he was deemed frail. scaramouche recalls those desolate nights he spent weeping to himself in the darkness of his room, & now he has someone to take the pain away. he could never bring himself to brazenly belittle you, it's you, after all. the one who allowed him into your heart, his tears peering from the eyeline of his indigo hues that lovingly admire your gentle & patient nature with him, reassuring that he'll have the same happiness he craves for. he wonders, why does he still need the content sensation of happiness? he has you, & you're more than enough.

childe often asks himself, what do you see in him? what do you see behind those malicious, deep admiral eyes with a hideous intent only the dense of the most simple-minded wouldn't figure out? were you ever to answer his constant questions, you'd reply with ease. you love him for him. his boyish charm, his meek way of gifting you the romantic gestures you deserve more than anyone in all of teyvat, his charming grins... the fact that he's a bloodthirsty harbinger is more than a good reason to leave him by now. so why stay? though he knows he could never leave you, archons, he wish he could, to spare you of his vile deeds, but with your captivating complexion, he eventually perceived the fact that he, too, could love.

a wandering samurai belonging to the city of eternity worships your very existence moreso his own archon. love with kazuha is enthralling. his words never fail to carry a foreign but perplexing feeling to your delicate heart, his soothing tone of voice causing the most strongest of winds to fall silent, his lenient smile triggering a calming sentiment for anyone else in need of comfort. though, he often travels overseas, his haikus dedicated to you manage to arrive at your doorstep every time, & you never heard the beguiling three words the same after meeting the one truly made for you, for every word that left his lips sounded like an honest to celestia promise.

"At least I keep her eyes in my life"

Kaedehara Kazuha x fem!Reader (ft. Tomo)

Angst Fluff

Royal AU; text (in the beginning) in italics signify song lyrics, can be read as a stand-alone, Tomo pov :D

Based off of Satisfied from Hamilton :>

(i) - "I look into your eyes and the sky's the limit"

"I do."

"Kaedehara Kazuha, do you take Raiden (Y/N) to be your-"

"I do."

"Raiden (Y/N), do you take Kaedehara Kazuha-"

Rewind, rewind,

"Queen Ei, I would like Princess (Y/N)'s hand in marriage."

Helpless... skies... skies...

"Good evening, Princess (Y/N). I am Kaedehara Kazuha."

Rewind.

...

Entering the Queen's Palace, Tomo felt a cold gust of wind sweep his blond locks. The low temperature of the weather fled his side as he entered the grand building. The sight that greeted the heir was a ballroom that inhabited many high class families throughout the kingdom of Inazuma.

Seeing his younger brother walk off after his entry, Tomo travelled to the other side of the room. His short peace was suddenly interrupted a bump was felt at his side as the eldest son looked to his right.

"Ah, my apologies! I had been searching for someone before knocking into you, sir. Please forgive my unkindly welcome," the young lady before him exlaimed. Tomo was met with such bright (e/c) eyes, causing a euphoric feeling inside of him to bubble and feel as if time stood still.

Tomo must've been standing for what felt like an eternity, that he failed to notice the gloved hand infront of him.

Tomo blinked. "Ah, please excuse me, Miss...?" he asked, as if he did not know of the woman before him.

"(Y/N). An honour to meet you..."

"Kaedehara Tomo."

"I have heard many great things about the Kaedeharas. A pleasure to meet you, I do hope that the celebration has been to your liking so far."

"Why thank you, your royal majesty-"

A maid rushed to the princess' side, interrupting Tomo. "Princess (Y/N), it is almost time for the Queen's entrance." she whispered.

"Please excuse my abrupt exit, but I must go. I hope to see you later on, your grace."

"Do not worry, your highness. I look forward to your grand entrance." Tomo replied, as he gently takes the lady's hand to place a soft kiss on the back. As he fixes his posture, the blond doesn't fail to miss the soft blush on the royal's face.

As Princess (Y/N) leaves, Tomo is left with a goofy grin as that feeling he sensed earlier grew stronger. He was lovestruck.

He distracted himself by dancing with the other nobles in the ballroom, as if that would rid his mind of the crown princess. Tomo's heart beat faster than ever before in his life, and his arms and feet moved smoothly like butter.

The owner of a pair of rose-coloured eyes laughed at his brother from the sidelines.

The dancing continued until it was time for the kingdom's royal family to make their entrance.

"And lastly, please welcome her royal highness' niece, Princess (Y/N)."

Every aristocrat present in the ballroom— including the both of the Kaedehara brothers— drew their attention to the princess. Tomo missed the eye contact between his younger sibling and the royal highness.

As Queen Ei and the princess commence the event once again, Tomo decides to tease his brother once he spots a certain emotion in those familiar orbs resembling dark red carnations.

"Ooh~ who is the unfortunate soul that caught the attention of my dearest younger brother?" Tomo teases as he wraps an arm around Kazuha's shoulders.

"None of your business, Tomo."

"Ouch, such an insult. Anyway, you've been standing here for five minutes with that soft, romantic face of yours. I can help you get their attention, 'zuha."

Tomo waits for a response. He sees a look with curiosity and defeat in his sibling's eyes.

"Fine... would you be so kind to get me an audience with the princess?" Kazuha whispered.

...

Oh.

Tomo's heart broke. His brain that was once filled with happiness is now confused at how he should approach this predicament. He loves the princess, he really does, but Kazuha is his brother. Tomo knows how quiet he is and how he keeps to himself.

He couldn't possibly break his only sibling's heart.

With a heavy sigh, Tomo made his way to Princess (Y/N) as Kazuha flinched from his actions.

Tomo gently tapped the royal's shoulder, quietly asking for her attention. The other nobles asking for her hand in marriage, annoyed and frustrated, quickly fled as they saw the two walk away.

Through their path to Kazuha, Tomo's mind waged a war with his heart. Unfortunately however, his organ lost its say on the matter as its owner cared more about his brother.

Reaching their destination, Kazuha bagan to introduce himself as Tomo stood with a smile.

"Good evening, Princess (Y/N). I am Kaedehara Kazuha."

"Kaedehara?" the crown princess questions.

"My brother~"

"Well then, a pleasure to meet you, Kaedehara Kazuha. And please, call me (Y/N). No need for my title during private conversations between us."

That statement hurt Tomo.

Keeping this thought to himself, he decided to leave them alone to avoid any further emotional injuries. "Well then, I'll leave you two to it."

The night passed by slower than the Kaedehara heir imagined. The scene of his brother chatting with the princess hurt his heart too much. When the brothers did have to leave, Kazuha talked about his fascination with the royal highness as his heart broke more than he thought it would.

The pain did not heal when Kazuha began on exchanging letters to (Y/N).

Tomo sat on his sibling's bed. "Brother, you've been reading her last letter for a long time. Don't you think that you need a break?" he asked. Tomo did not recieve any form of a response however.

Well then, time for his backup plan.

"You know... if you really loved me you would share her-"

That sentence resulted in Kazuha's chair almost falling from his abrupt movement, only to glare at his older sibling.

"I love you Tomo, I really do, but I will have to say no." Kazuha returned his position to face his desk, "And besides, I do not know if the feelings are mutual."

So that is how hard you fell, brother. Tomo thought with a bittersweet smile. As much as he would love to court the princess instead, he would much rather see his own relative keep his happiness.

The pit in his stomach only grew at Kazuha's proposal to (Y/N). His mind help telling him, "You shouldn't feel like this, you said that Kazuha deserves it." And yet, Tomo couldn't stop his emotions from going south.

Tomo couldn't stop fantasizing about those (e/c) eyes, which kept him awake at night. He couldn't stop thinking about the unknown outcome of him telling Kazuha his feelings.

At least he could keep the owner of a pair of (e/c) orbs in his life.

...

Tomo smiled as best as he can as Kazuha and (Y/N) finally sealed their fates with a kiss. He tried to not let any tears fall as he attempts to present his speech during the after party.

"Oh, please excuse my face. I have been shedding tears of happiness." he'd say to those that asked of his tearstains. Tomo didn't have the heart to ruin his only brother's wedding.

As much as it hurt him, Tomo knew it was worth it once he saw Kazuha's gentle look towards the love of his life.

ahh the unfortunate fact that i had to write this during two separate times sksbsjsbsn

anyways, *looks at the rest of hamilton's act 1 and the entirety of act 2* i think ill stop here,,,

for those that read both parts of this 'oneshot', i hope you enjoyed it :D

Lost

Summary: When Dean finally finds Castiel in Purgatory, their reunion is all consuming.

Pairing: Dean x Castiel Rating: 18+ Warnings: Non Con/Withdrawn Consent, Major Character Death Tags: Destiel, hint of Denny, Lovers to Enemies, Erotic Cannibalism kinda… IDEK ok Word Count: 1,102 Created for: @spnkinkbingo - Leviathan!Cas | @anyfandomgoesbingo - Lovers to Enemies Fic | @spndeanbingo - Rough Sex

The sight of the angel by the stream is euphoric. Thrilling, incandescent. Dean doesn’t know when he turned into such a fucking pussy but seeing Castiel again feels like being whole. Cas has been an extension of him since he put that goddamn brand on his shoulder four years ago. And even though the scar isn’t there any longer, Cas had marked Dean in other ways. Deep, invisible ways Dean never intended to admit to, but recognises in himself now, with Cas standing stoically and bedraggled by the water’s edge.

“Cas!” Dean laughs as he pulls him into a hug, one the angel doesn’t return. “Damn, it’s good to see you.” He makes himself let go and pulls back to look at Cas more closely. “Nice peach fuzz,” he pokes at Cas’s unkempt beard, raising his hand as if to run his fingers across it, but then remembers Benny and lets his hand drop. There was a lot that had gotten complicated since they’d been separated in this hellhole.

“Thank you,” Cas responds in his grumbly timbre, and Dean can’t help the smile that comes to his face at finally hearing his voice again after so long. And to hear him speaking sanely again, back to his old grumpy, wooden self. Dean’s missed this Cas. Now they can finally get out of this god forsaken cesspit of crazy and creepy.

Except Cas doesn’t want to go.

“Cas, buddy, I need you,” Dean admits with a breathless laugh, the closest he’s ever come to saying what he really wants to say. Cas’s expression drops, forlorn in his convictions.

“Dean,” Cas shakes his head, but Dean doesn’t let him finish.

“And if Leviathan wanna take a shot at our ass, let ‘em. We ganked those bitches once before, we can do it again.”

“It’s too dangerous,” Cas protests.

“Let me bottom line it for ya. I’m not leaving here without you, understand?” Dean isn’t taking no for an answer goddammit, not after how long it took to find him, not after everything else. Cas pauses, takes a deep breath, considering.

“I understand,” he nods gravely, and Dean breathes a sigh of relief, pulling him in for another hug. He hears Benny scoff behind them but decides he doesn’t care enough to break away. Cas tucks his head against Dean’s shoulder, his new beard scraping roughly against his neck. Dean shivers in his grip, but reprimands himself. Now isn’t the time.

As if Castiel had read his mind, and it isn’t the first time Dean’s wondered if Cas can do that, Cas pulls out of the hug and kisses him. He grunts in surprise against the angel’s lips, greeted with an onslaught of tongue and fervour reminiscent of what Dean could recall of Cas kissing Meg against the wall of that grimy warehouse. Dean remembers feeling incredibly conflicted about that, simultaneously jealous and turned on. Experiencing it put him on a whole new plane. For an angel who was still a fucking virgin so far as Dean was aware, the guy knew what he was doing in the tongue department. He could hear Benny trying to talk to them but his mind was far too distracted to discern any of the words.

Suddenly Cas pulls back and Dean is left staggering, staring blindly at the angel, who is panting hard and staring back at him.

“You two done yet?” Benny grunts, arms crossed over his chest, clearly unimpressed, and if Dean’s reading it right, just a touch jealous. He’s flattered, really, that he’s so desirable. Dean grins sheepishly at the vampire, with a shrug of his shoulders as if to say ‘well, can you blame us?’, and Benny rolls his eyes back.

“No,” Cas grunts, and both Dean and Benny turn to him. It takes Dean a moment to realise that Cas was answering Benny’s question. “No we’re not done yet.”

The breath is knocked clean out of him as Cas pulls Dean down to his knees and shoves him roughly back onto the bank of the stream, climbing over him and kissing him again, fierce as ever.

“Jesus Christ,” Dean hears Benny groan somewhere behind them. “Come find me when y’er done.”

Dean tries to grunt out an agreement but it turns into a moan as Cas’s fingers fumble down his chest and land on his jeans. Cas isn’t careful with the clothing, and Dean’s not inclined to care about that right now, though he may regret it later. He reaches down to get Cas stripped out of his garments too. The trench coat comes in handy as a blanket to lay down so he doesn’t get mud up his ass.

It’s rough; messy. Just like everything else in Purgatory. Dean is wide open, vulnerable as he’ll ever be, but even in a place like this, he still feels safe. This feels right.

The pain of Cas pushing in is dulled by the pleasure of the angel’s hand on his cock, pumping him roughly in his spit-soaked palm. Dean’s eyes squeeze shut against the onslaught of sensations, too overwhelming, and he lets himself go, losing himself to just another primal urge that seems to be all he can cling to in this place.

“Fuck, this was worth it,” Cas grunts above him, and Dean groans in agreement. This was absolutely worth the wait; Cas filling him up, finally being inside of him, not just near, not just touching, not just scarring, but actually inside. Part of him.

“God, Dean,” Cas groans, thrusting harder, hand dropping from Dean’s cock as he chases his own pleasure, arms dropping to either side of Dean’s head as he falls forward. He fucks into him without mercy, Dean’s hips banging into the ground with every push, and even though Cas isn’t jerking him off anymore, this new angle is getting something inside him that’s pushing him over the edge.

“Shit, Cas!” Dean moans, punching his hips back, trying to force the angel back inside him. “Fuck, gonna cum.”

“Almost,” Cas hisses through gritted teeth, breath hot and sharp against Dean’s ear. Then in a blinding rush of heat and pain, everything is over.

Cas straightens up, pulling out of Dean’s body with a relieved sigh. He cracks his neck, shrugging away the tension and ache in his muscles. He’ll be refreshed soon enough. Dropping the obsidian blade back to the ground he stretches his mouth wide and roars as his teeth sink into his prey, devouring from the head down.

Other Leviathan frowned on it, but he always thought it was more fun to play with your food first.

Ok I’m trying my hand at fan fiction so

This is a Kaedehara Kazuha x his dead friend (Tomo) fic. TW for sh, suicide, angst, horny but not explicitly nsfw

Kazuha glanced at the sky above the ship. They had entered the sea surrounding Inazuma, and the vicious storm above began to soften. The traveler had insisted on going to his homeland, the place to which Kazuha never thought he’d return. As the ship moved closer to the islands, the man felt his nerves swell like the perilous waves below.

“Don’t worry, kid,” Beidou had said.

“It’ll be fine. It’s a quick stop, no ones gonna see you.” Despite the reassuring words, Kazuha couldn’t help but worry. Perhaps it was because he was a wanted fugitive? The man knew that this was part of it, but there was another reason. Something he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

The water below surged with electricity. The gentle hum of the energy was surprisingly calming. Kazuha leaned over the side of the ship as he listened. Eyes closing, a thought crossed the man’s mind. The tranquil nature of the water was similar to that of Tomo’s vision. Kazuha’s eyes quickly opened, and he was suddenly aware of the weight of the vision in his pocket. The gentle hum and warmth were gone, reminding him yet again of his friend’s demise.

The man also became aware of the dull pain in his hand. It was quite bothersome, but Kazuha found it despairing that the pain would fade. The burn was left by Tomo’s vision dying, and it was the last reminder of his friend being alive. It was the last reminder of the masterless vision being full of life. The more the wound healed, the more he realized that Tomo was gone.

“What are you so down about, Kazuha?” Beidou questioned. Kazuha turned to look at the woman, startled. He hadn’t realized that his face reflected his emotions. He quickly corrected his frown, and hoped that the falling rain masked the tears running down his cheeks.

“The fact that I’ll likely never be welcomed in my homeland again.” The man replied, lying through his teeth. He felt bad for being untruthful, but he knew that speaking his mind at that moment would make him break down. Beidou looked at him with a skeptical frown.

“Alright, kid, I won’t pry, but it can’t be healthy to keep shit bottled up like that.” Beidou replied. At that response, Kazuha knew that Beidou knew he was lying, which made him feel even worse about it. Noticing his guilty expression, Beidou grinned and gently ruffled the smaller man’s hair.

“Hey, don’t beat yourself up about lying, sometimes it the only way to keep your composure, y’know?” She said with concern in her tone. Kazuha looked up at the brunette and smiled, genuinely this time.

“Thank you, Beidou,” he spoke. Beidou grinned and walked away, and Kazuha redirected his gaze to the water. It was regular water this time, blue and quiet. He sighed and rested his head in his arms.

Not too long later, his eyes fluttered open, only to be met by the glaring sun. He quickly jumped to his feet. They were very close to Inazuma, close enough that he risked being seen.

“Oi, Kazuha!” Beidou called from the captains cabin. “I think it’s time you hid, we’re getting close!” Kazuha nodded, and quickly headed downstairs into Beidou’s small wine cellar. He despised the smell of alcohol, but ultimately decided that anywhere was a better hiding place than the bilge (the bilge is a cavity in the bottom of a boat filled with rancid water). The man crawled into the empty cupboard that Beidou had prepared for him, and gently closed the door. Luckily for Kazuha, the scent of the cedar wood walls overthrew that of the alcohol.

He relaxed as much as he could in the cramped space. His knee pressed uncomfortably against his injured hand, making the wound sting.

“Shit..” he mumbled. As bad as the pain was, Kazuha knew that there wasn’t enough room to readjust his position. He glanced over to his burnt hand. The darkness of the cupboard masked it from view, but he felt the bandage tightly wrapped around his skin. It had been almost a month since the incident, and Kazuha knew that Beidou would soon grow curious as to why the burn hadn’t healed. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to explain to her. Not that the burns were self inflicted, not why he didn’t want the wound to heal, and definitely not how much he enjoyed holding a torch to his hand, watching the skin char and blister, and… he pushed the thought out of his mind. He knew that what he was doing was wrong, but it felt so right. The more he did it, the more he knew that wasn’t really to just keep the wound open, but instead for the euphoric pain.

The ship suddenly halted, the force slamming Kazuha against the wall. He grunted at his knee slammed into his hand. Despite the throbbing pain making him grimace, he quickly calmed himself, and fixed his position as best as he could. He silently wished that his ‘hobby’ didn’t have such painful side effects.

Kazuha waited what felt like hours. The walls of the cupboard seemed to dig into his skin, and his limbs were sore from being idle for so long. Joy flooded his mind as he felt the boat begin to move, but the feeling was short lived. After all, he still had to wait until he left Inazuma’s waters.

Boredom must have gotten to him, because Kazuha’s mind began to wander. And of all things, he began to think about Tomo. Kazuha didn’t let himself do this often, as it often led to a spiral, but he simply didn’t care enough to stop himself this time. Luckily, he wasn’t thinking about his friend’s death, but rather how he made him feel. Whenever speaking with Tomo, Kazuha couldn’t help but notice how his friend’s lips moved, how his eyes scrunched up in the corners when he was happy, how his gray hair flew in the wind. He couldn’t help but think about what those lips would feel like against his. He knew that it was wrong to have these thoughts about another man, but he just couldn’t help it. He wanted Tomo in a way that he shouldn’t.

Kazuha often pushed away his fantasies about his friend, but today, he decided to let himself sink in thought. He thought about his friend’s hand gripping his back, the other running through his hair. He imagined his own hands cupping Tomo’s face, all as there lips pressed together. He imagined them occasionally pulling apart to take a breath, but the kiss would deepen each time they rejoined. He imagined his cheeks flushing, but that part wasn’t so imaginary. He imagined their tongues sliding against each other. He imagined Tomo’s hot breath against his face. He imagined Tomo pushing him down and laying on top of him. He imagined Tomo’s hand sliding to remove his shirt, before sliding even lower-

“Kazuha, you can come out of hiding now!” Beidou called as she opened the cupboard doors. Kazuha looked at her, his face an embarrassing shade of red.

“You’re pretty red, are you ok?” Beidou questioned. Kazuha tumbled out of the cupboard.

“Ye-yeah… I guess this cup-cupboard is just pretty hot,” He stuttered, growing redder by the second. Beidou chuckled.

“So, you’ve got a crush, huh?” She turned and started towards the stairs.

“Ah, young love,” she teased, despite only being a few years older.

“She must be a pretty hot bitch to get you all red like that,” Beidou walked out onto the deck, and Kazuha put his face in his hands. He wanted to correct her so badly, but he knew that Beidou would abandon him. No one could know that he liked men, they would hate him. His thoughts were interrupted by a meow. A meow? There weren’t any cats on the ship. He turned towards the sound and saw a small white cat. His eyes grew in shock. It was Tomo’s cat.

Kazuha crawled towards the feline. Was it really Tomo’s? His suspicions were confirmed when he saw its collar. It was the friendship bracelet that he had made his friend many years ago. What was it doing here? He also noticed a piece of paper, folded into the cat’s collar. He grabbed it and undid the folds, and realized it was a letter. A letter from Tomo.

Dear Kazuha,

I hope that this letter finds you as soon as possible. As you know, I have challenged the Raiden Shogun to a duel. I have always wanted to experience divine punishment, and me dying was no mistake. I wish I could’ve told you in person, but even now I can’t do it. The truth is, I don’t like women in a romantic way. I have feelings about men that I shouldn’t. I have feelings about you that I shouldn’t.

My family found out about these feelings, though. They said that they never wanted to see me again. Now that I have no place to call home, no family, and likely no vision soon, I have decided that suicide is my best option. I know that I could never win against the Raiden Shogun, and it is the perfect opportunity for me.

Kazuha, I want you to know that it’s not your fault. You are the person that has kept me going this long, but I just can’t do it anymore. What I truly want is a happy future with you, but I know that will never happen. My last request is that you tell the others about my sexuality. Tell them I’m sorry for resorting to death.

Also, I’m sorry to you. I’ve burdened you with my death, my feelings, and an errand. I know that you probably hate me by now, but you had to know. Please, remember that I love you. I love you from the bottom of my heart, and it hurts me to hurt you. I wish I could give you just one kiss before I die, I really do, but I guess I’m just a coward.

Thank you and goodbye, -Tomo

Kazuha couldn’t believe his eyes. His vision blurred as fat tears rolled down his face and landed on the paper. His hands trembled, and he let out a sob. He raised his hands to his face as he began crying loudly.

“Tomo..” he whimpered. He grabbed the paper from his lap and hugged it tight. Kazuha was crying so hard that he didn’t even notice Beidou enter the cellar, not until she rested her hand on his shoulder.

“Hey, are you ok?” She questioned, worry in her tone.

“You can tell me things, you know,” she said. She sounded so genuine, that Kazuha considered telling her everything. And that’s just what he did. He slowly outstretched his arm, and offered Beidou the letter. The brunette accepted, and began reading. Her eyes widened as she got further down the page. She gently placed the paper on the floor, and pulled Kazuha into a hug.

“I’m so sorry,” she said. Kazuha hugged back, and sobbed into her shoulder. They remained like that for a while, before Kazuha looked into her eye.

“Could I… tell you everything?” He asked. Beidou met his gaze and nodded. Kazuha took a breath and began to speak.

“I- I love Tomo too. I always have,” he started. Beidou’s face lit up with realization.

“Ohhh,” she said, as if she was putting a puzzle together. She must have remembered her input about Kazuha’s crush from before, because her face flushed with embarrassment.

“OHH… she said.

“Sorry, sometimes I forget that not everyone likes women.” She chuckled sheepishly. Kazuha looked up at her with bewilderment.

“Y-you too?” He said. Beidou nodded.

“Yeah, pretty much everyone on board is some flavor of queer,” she spoke. Kazuha’ face lit up, and more tears welled up in his eyes.

“Is that everything you wanted to tell me?” Beidou questioned. Kazuha shook his head.

“You know the burn on my hand?” He started. Beidou looked down at said hand and nodded.

“It healed a while ago. I… The ones there now are self inflicted, and I can’t stop doing it.” Kazuha admitted. His words sped up in the end, as if he was trying to spit them out as fast as possible. Guilt swelled in his stomach, before he noticed Beidou looking at him with the most loving expression.

“That’s ok, kid,” she comforted. She pulled off one of her gloves to reveal old, whitened scars that littered her forearm.

“I’ve been through the same shit, I can help you as much as you need.”

Kazuha melted at the sheer kindness. He leaned back into the embrace and began crying one again. Beidou patted his back, before asking another question.

“Oh yeah, what’s with the cat?”

As One

Vanja toyed with the golden ring upon his finger. It’s matching partner wasn’t far, adorning Leon’s--Raiden’s--hand that was resting on his chest. As he laid there with him, Vanja ruminated on the events of the past year. From the happier moments, to those of near-death, he could barely fathom how they’d reached this point. None of this bothered him anymore. He knew better and had been in a euphoric state since the day they said, ‘I do.’ Not even events at the Ministry put a damper on him. He closed his eyes, shifting closer to nuzzle in against Leon, sighing contentedly as he mulled over baby names, something he never knew he wanted until he met the man. They would have one, two, even three! Children could say were their own, with no donor involved. He was confident in the abilities of the good Doctor. Vanja fell asleep with a smile curling the corners of his lips.

𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 !!

honey’s notes: I actually wrote some fics before I made this blog so there’s actually some stuff people could read here and they wouldn’t get bored TT. i might make a part 2 but i don’t know lol-

summary: it’s been months since Albedo has successfully hacked into your camera, he’s made it his plans to bring you to their world. Their god looked lonely anyways, the only problem was..it worked the wrong way around. Instead of you being brought. They’d been thrown into your world.

reader uses they/them pronouns.

fluff/crack.

characters: Zhongli/Ei/Venti/Albedo/Aether x Reader.

[content warning: yandere. cult. obsession. possible swearing. typos. grammar mistakes.]

recommended song: the feels - twice.

“Al-be-dooo~” a sigh left the blonde’s lips as he was poked and prodded by a certain bard. he tried his best to ignore Venti as he continued building a reactor. His hands worked at the wires and attached pieces to each other.

“Albedo!!” Venti whined more. “What?!” Albedo stopped glueing a metal piece together to looked at Venti who’s stretched out on his table as if bored. “Is it done yet? I wanna meet them already!“ to a normal person’s eyes, the current situation looks as if a kid did not get the candy they want.

“It’s almost done, just please bother someone else-“ Albedo waved his hands out of frustration trying to focus on the machine, he knew if anything went to the wrong spot the machine will never work. Venti blew a raspberry, he was extremely bored and every minute felt like an hour waiting for Albedo to finish.

“Barbatos, get off the table.” Zhongli’s booming voice called out, beside him stood inazuma’s archon. Ei looked out of it, looking anywhere but the portal with a blank stare, before she steps back.

“Are we really..bringing them into this world in an environment like this?” Ei had her hand on her chest, looking a little in disbelief. Albedo stops his cranking of a wrench. “What’s wrong with my lab?” He spits, looking at the archon.

“It’s just..dreadful. In short term, it stinks and is messy.” Ei complained. “Well if you just hate my stinky and messy lab, you can go wait for their grace in inazuma.” Albedo shot back glaring at her.

That seemed to quiet her down as she and Albedo just stared at each other in annoyance. “Stop yapping and get working!” Venti whines, he looked more like a spoiled child more than the anemo archon. Zhongli stood by obviously annoyed but fortunately he has the patience of a thousand years to keep him company.

“Traveller! You’re here!” Aether looked at Venti, nodding as a hello. “Albedo, is it done?” The outlander asked, Albedo nods, stepping back from the machine. It was shaped as a circle, made from the toughest metal and charged by a mysterious energy.

“Step back, I’m going to turn it on.” Albedo called, the group stepped back as he tried to turn it on, it made weird noises, clacking against the metal that protected it from crumbling from the cold Dragonspine area. It spewed out steam, buttons flew red and green, before busting and powering down. A pregnant silence washed over the group.

“Great! it didn’t work.” Venti sarcastically clasped his hands in exaggerated surprise. “I must’ve messed something up.” Albedo hummed, his hand on his chin, thinking.

“Aether can you- Aether?” Albedo called, not hearing a response, he turned around to look for the outlander to see him gone. “Did..did he leave?” Zhongli too looked around for the blonde traveller. “I don’t think he would- BAAL’S GONE-“ Venti pointed to the spot beside Zhongli.

Well, where Zhongli used to stand. “ACK- MORAX’S GONE TOO!” Albedo grabbed hold of Venti’s shoulders. “can you calm down, please?!” Venti’s screaming made Albedo’s head hurt, he then held his head in his hands to soothe the growing headache, before looking up. He was completely alone.

“That’s it. I’ve completely lost my mind.” Albedo walked away from his lab to get fresh air, he felt the cold air of dragonspine nipping at his skin, wanting to lean against the cold stone of the mountain and close his eyes for a second. Before he could reach a good spot to take a breather, he tripped, on a branch of tree course, before landing on something.

“…..bedo. albedo! ALBEDO!” Venti shook the alchemist by his shoulders, seeing himself in an unfamiliar room. He felt something warm and soft under him, seeing Aether with his hands trying to pull Albedo off. “Get off of me! You’re heavy!“ Aether wheezed out as he kicked Albedo off of him. “What..where?” Albedo dusted himself off, looking around the room.

“That’s the thing, we don’t know.” Zhongli mumbled, his hands crossed as if he was grumpy. Ei stood beside him, a little antsy as she too looked around the place like Albedo. The alchemist looked around the room, walking towards a small table with trinkets of things he didn’t know of, pens and pencils littered the table and books stacked somewhat neatly as if put on a shelf.

He took a piece of paper from off the desk, the handwriting on it was neat and placed nicely. he was indeed super curious. “Don’t touch that stuff! You don’t know who it could belong to.” Aether scolded Albedo, plucking the paper from out of his gloved hands.

the group stayed quiet as they mumbled amongst themselves, not knowing where they stood before a door opened.

You just returned from an errand at the grocery store and you felt extremely tired, you opened the door to your house, it was quiet, nothing but the meowing of your cat and the buzz of your purifier filled your ears. Your cat, Marsh meowed a greeting as he walked towards you, rubbing against your leg.

“Hello, Marsh, my baby.” You cooed, placing down the bags and scooping up your fur baby. Giving him his pets, the cat was content and now looked up at you as if to say to put him down. You obliged and let him leap off your arms as you brought your grocery bags into the kitchen.

“I’ll..just put them away later.” You dusted off the task of putting away your groceries, your back ached as you felt yourself yawn for what felt like the millionth time today. You walked up the stairs leading to your room, you hear muffled voices.

wait, voices?

You freeze. Either someone broke in or someone broke in, no other choice. You grabbed the nearest thing to you, which is a book. A heavy one. Carefully tested the doorknob as you slammed the door open.

oh my god.

“Zhongli?..” you were met with a character from genshin. wait, genshin? The fictional game? You dropped your book in surprise, a loud thud emitting from it. You stood dumbfounded as they too stared back.

A silence, the purifier from downstairs felt loud before a certain bard broke the silence.

“Your grace!”

“Your what?!”
