dead leaves

summary: the creator is meant to be worshipped and praised, exalted to the highest of high. so… what went wrong?

word count: 1.2k

-> warnings: mentions of blood, you die multiple times, bitter(?) ending, spoilers for xiao lore (but it’s not said to be xiao specifically so technically you could read and just not know it’s him but now that i’ve said that you know it’s him so-)

-> gn reader (you/yours)

< masterlist > || next >

it wasn’t meant to happen like this.

it was never to occur at all, in fairness, but like this?

the clouds parted to make way for a single glitering star, shining a white hot gold. the whole world turned, stopped and stared in awe, every leaf on every stalk bearing witness to the one they called god.

it wasn’t supposed to be like this. the golden shine poured through the tall windows of a palace meant for you, the heretic in a crown ordering your people to betray you. their hands shook where their followers could not see—perhaps even they were aware of why the trees were rejoicing.

you, blessed you, torn from your home by the divinity in your blood, picking yourself up from sand with barely a vague memory of your location. walk, climb, walk again, and that’s where you learned how to swim, led on by the crumbling stone of barbatos’ statue. the squirrels chittered and the hilichurls retreated, not wanting to frighten you, bandaged hands seeking shields and clubs to keep busy instead.

mondstat is the nation of anemo. happy and bustling, merchants calling across courtyards, adventurers waking with the sun to continue their trade. a cool breeze welcomed you, tugging you along a stone bridge, the winds quiet.

so quiet, in fact, that the archon stirred from his slumber early, reaching for his bow.

you never even made it to the city gates. the doves on the bridge hopped closer as you approached, the knights on duty watching how eagerly they pressed themselves against you. a nod, a twist, a chain of knights leading up to the headquarters, all set on edge the moment the acting grandmaster cleared them to engage.

the first casualty was a bird. it had flung itself into the air, halting the arrow in its tracks, drawing your attention to the man standing atop the city wall. another bird died before you understood his crime.

leaves dappled the ground in shades of green, warm light falling on you as you ran. you didn’t know where you were going, really, and why would you? who had a contingency plan for when everyone they loved turned away? the river tumbled over smoothed rocks, the bright beacon of the statue of the seven pleading for forgiveness even as it’s archon wanted you dead.

mondstat was the city of freedom. could it still be called that when you bled out before you could reach the border?

you couldn’t die. literally, you couldn’t. ley lines converged where you were crossed, absorbing the dissipating flakes of your physical body. the earth hummed beneath the anemo archon’s feet as he watched divine blue blood be sucked up and swept away. was it a hallucination? how would he know?

elemental energy coursed through the earth, sprouting again at the geo through which it bled, releasing the holy light it carried and supplementing with its own. within the hour your eyes opened again, unsure whether to pray it was a dream or wonder which god could hear you.

liyue, nation of geo. the stone hummed beneath your feet, though you didn’t walk toward the city. you’d learned your lesson fast, and a spear to the gut would certainly take longer to kill than an arrow to the neck. not that it mattered, of course—the adepti are too in tune with the land to not have noticed your arrival.

as it turned out a spear does hurt more, which you learned when you found it sprouting from your stomach in the split second before the pain hit. bright jade stained blue, betrayal glimpsed in the dying eyes of the one alatus once called his savior.

and it began anew.

teyvat bubbled with anger, torn between enacting vengeance on those that hurt its maker and protecting you. you were taken to places of shelter, but people learned to follow where nature raged loudest. even if they didn’t, if storms kicked up in false alarm to draw them away, intuition toward their creator was sewn into the hems of every living creature. hilichurls could only hold up for so long, and the millelith were used to dealing with vishaps. the dense forests of sumeru were memorized by the most vigilant forest watcher, the consecrated beasts in the desert too big to keep up with the agility of the general mahamatra.

how cruel for you to die like this, at the hands of the ones you should have been able to trust. how cruel for you to die at all, stabbed in the back by those who should have worshipped you.

the one on your throne was tolerated, just barely so, rationalized as the people needing an idol to follow in your continued absence. but now you were here, now they had no reason to be, and visions began to go haywire whenever they entered the throne room. boars outran hunters, trees tangling over boots as nature wrought vengeance on behalf of its god.

you were everything.

every scholar sought to understood your world further, your spirit found in every star in the sky. to study the world was to study you, how every string was woven into the universe. when you looked to the earth the soil said hello, the trees bowing before their creator, and yet your most beloved artwork was the one that hated you the most. was it hubristic to think a mortal could truly kill a god, or pathetic that they believed the fraud so quickly? they didn’t have elemental energy buzzing at their fingertips, they didn’t have the respect of the world, only commanding people, those easily swayed by a similar face and lucky coincidences. they were nothing like you, you who held galaxies in your blood, you who created the sky and the seas and the creatures within, who created everything. who was everything.

…and now you were nothing. lost in the ley lines that frantically searched for a place to host your body, outrunning the hunt for the god of all. nothing, half conscious in the heart of the earth, within a cave that had cracked open for this very purpose. hidden, the entrance sealed by stone itself, only allowing in slimes that helped sustain you. how cruel, the skies wept, torrents of rain falling in punishment. the fraud barely left the palace anymore, which was only standing thanks to reinforcement from the geo archon. were it not for their lie, they would be dead a thousand times over, killed in every way you had.

but they were in the palace, hidden where the world could not reach. so stone cradled your body, carefully ensuring you still continued to breathe, leylines redirecting to offer energy. not awake, not asleep, stuck in a stasis while hell raged around you.

it’s alright. teyvat would have its revenge eventually. lightning would find its way into the palace, someone would bring something carrying elemental energy into the throne room, something. the fake would die and you would be born anew from the earth, weak and tired but alive, most importantly.

anemo brushes off dust that begins to settle in your clothes, hydro doing its best to soothe the cracks on your lips. geo rolls you over so you don’t bruise, dendro adjusting its net of vines to keep you stable.

eventually…

okay first of all hiiii genshin community this is my first ever fic for the fandom and i’ve only been playing for about a month and a half TT although i am already at AR 50, so i’m decently confident in writing this.

this is taking place in a self aware genshin alternate universe where the reader has been accused of being an imposter; aka imposter!au. contains fontaine characters >:3

btw. while i am in fontaine’s archon quest, i know little about wrio… and the fortress of meropide, so i took some liberties. and i’m not a lawyer or anything so. expect errors.

600+ Words.

You don’t think this is how prisoners should be treated, what with the heavy white iron shackles, tightly welded around your ankles, wrists, neck, and midriff. It’s excessive, really. Nameless guards and Wriothesley himself escort you to the opera house where your trial shall be held.

As you’re dragged along, you pass hordes of not just Fontaine’s citizens, but international crowds have gathered to see you fall.

You don’t have much hope.

The accusations against you are… grim, it seems. Stealing the face and body of the divine, what is that even supposed to mean? This is your body, how you’ve always been. You can’t even imagine what sort of divine being would sentence someone to… death(?) for simply bearing a striking resemblance to them. The court shall see.

You’d been so excited to see these characters, especially the beautiful Fontainians, but now as you catch sight of Neuvillette, nothing but bitter fear and dread fill you.

Those eyes; gray, blue, purple, undoubtedly gorgeous, are serious, befitting the Iudex. Though you never thought you would be surveyed under them.

“Order in the court.” Neuvillette calls out as the packed audience quiets down from their excited buzz. Furina holds a hand over her chest dramatically, waltzing to the edge of her balcony.

“Will the prosecution please state the reasons behind today’s trial? Lady Furina?” Neuvillette prompts the lady.

“Indeed.” She agrees grandly. “The guilty—!”

“Accused.” Neuvillette interjects.

“Accused,” Furina repeats. “Is charged with attempting to infiltrate the rightful spot of the Creator, a grave sin.”

The crowd boos.

“Don’t worry, my dear citizens and travelers from afar, we will see justice delivered to this sinner!”

“Order.” Neuvillette calls and the crowd hushes. “Will the prosecution present evidence to support their claim?”

“Look at them, Monsieur Neuvillette! The whole room can clearly see that they have crafted themself a mirror image of our true god!” The room rumbles in agreement. Your brow knits with worry, unsure of how (if) you’ll get out of this situation.

Neuvillette turn his gaze solely onto you, looking down from his seat as judge. A few moments of his scrutiny pass. “Defendant, can you refute these claims?”

You try.

“I don’t know what’s going on. I swear on my life, I haven’t intended to offend anyone, this is just how I look. No one will call me by my name—.”

“Boo!” Lady Furina calls from her seat, hushing when Neuvillette sends a sharp look her way.

“—I will admit I’m not from this world, but I don’t know how to explain any of that. I haven’t meant to do any harm.” You look to the crowd. “I’m sorry.”

The Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale shifts, one of the weights pulling down, you aren’t sure if it’s in your favor, and doubt it is.

“Is that all from the defendant?” It is. No lawyer would dare represent you, not even a public defense attorney.

“We turn to the judgment of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale to give us the results of this trial.” With his words the machine rumbles and the sides of the scale quickly move up and down. It settle in the middle and a slip of paper slides out.

“Our defendant is…” the room simultaneously brings in a breath of air. Neuvillette’s voice chokes up. “Innocent.”

“No!” “Impossible!” “Fraudulent!”

“Oh, give me a break.” You moan at the reactions.

Lady Furina, narrows her eyes at you. “Let us settle this with a duel!”

The guards that led you here begin gathering your chains and you panic.

“Wait! Please!” You cry out one last desperate attempt. Neuvillette pauses, looking at you from the side of his eye. The hand holding the oratrice’s results stills.

“Do the words Genshin Impact mean anything to you?”

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊redemption𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊

ft: Zhongli x gender neutral! Reader

cn: hurt no comfort :D, sagau/imposter au! , golden blood au! , mentions of blood and attack, attempted execution, use of Zhongli's archon name, slighty cultish theme, grammar

a/n: y'all the absolute CHOKEHOLD that sagau! has on me is insane (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) i wrote this with spite due to zhongli never coming home to me. y'all i've lost 50/50 to his all banners t-t

word count: 731

song on replay: Shinunoga E-Wa by Fujii Kaze

"...goodbye~ Oh don't you ever say bye bye, yeah"

He knows he doesn't have the right to be jealous. He knows that the the heaviness is heart is something he deserves, a sliver of punishment he must feel for causing you all the pain and suffering you endured.

To this day, months after the incident, he can still feel the blood, your golden blood, on his hands. It's ironic, really. Zhongli, or Morax, the God of Contracts, the God of War. Everything he did was in your name. As the oldest amongst gods and mortals, he always prided himself as your most loyal follower. He strived to protect your name against blasphemy.

In his nightmares he can still hear your voice. The tremble of your pleads. The shaking "please, spare me" and "mercy".

more utc!

This is just a dream, you told yourself. You were sending your day like you do most others. Following the same routine, passing by the same buildings and houses like every other day. Nothing seemed off, until you awoke from your sleep to realize that you were no longer in your world.

Maybe you would have felt excited. In Teyvat, you could have had a chance to meet all your favorites, all your comfort characters. After all, everyone treated the Traveler, an outsider from another world, well. What difference would it be as another outsider as yourself?

Your breath grew heavy, and your feet started to drag along the earth below you. How did you even get to this position? All you wanted was to find a friendly face, perhaps Amber or another one to the Knights of Favonius.

Running from Mondstadt to Liyue was no easy journey. While it was the people who were after your head, you could only thank whatever force allowed for the other creatures to stay away from your path. The hilicurls never seemed to notice you; the slimes would sometimes lead you towards places to hide.

You hoped the people of Liyue would give you a different welcome than those of Mondstadt. In a way, they did. In Monstadt, they gave you a chance to escape. Here, they didn't.

The ever so busy streets of Liyue were crowded once again, but now for a different reason. Zhongli happened to be amongst the crowed, when the Tianquan herself announced the situation before them.

"We have the traitor here, the one who dares impersonate the Divine Creator"

With that alone, Zhongli came out of hiding and announced himself once again as the Archon of Geo. How else was he, the creators most devoted acolyte, suppose to bring this traitor to justice?

His spear, the Vortex Vanquisher, the weapon you spent months saving up for, was pointed directly at your head. You've survived this long, all to die at the hands of the character you've cared for the most. Morax granted you the luxury of saying your final words. He expected you to cry out for mercy, but was met with something that left him frozen.

At this point there were no more tears for you left to cry. Tired and exhausted, you look up at him. Moving carefully, you lift your hands towards the weapon inches to your face. Even with such a weak grip, the spear cuts into your hand.

"I would rather die at your hands than that of a stranger"

Morax backs away from you, his polearm falling to his side. It was easy to mistake the gold color on the tip of his spear to be the shine of the sun illuminating the ore that made it. But Morax knew what the golden glint was.

Time may heal all wounds, but it doesn't erase the scars left behind. Zhongli has tried his best to redeem himself. He knows he is the least deserving to be at your every call. Even so, he feels that he's more fit to serve you than those fools from Sumeru.

He can't help but feel his heart drop whenever you dismiss him, when you tell him his services aren't needed. But what hurts him more is the visible fear in your eyes whenever he gets a bit to close.

No, he refuses to be the reason why you don't feel safe. He refuses to be the one you fear. He'll redeem himself, he swears. In one way or another, he'll show you that he deserves to be at your side.

Watching From The Sidelines P.4

[SAGAU X SHAPESHIFTER READER]

Synopsis: The game continues, but feelings of pain start arising. You are vulnerable. But this might be a wake up call for you.

A/n: Thank you so much for the support! Y'all filling my notifications with tag list request lmao. I can't write all of you, I have 4 index cards full of usernames. But I'll try my best!

TW// vomiting blood, being very sick.

Also heavy leaning to Zhongli x Reader

Song recommendations:

Gold - Imagine Dragons

Golden hour - JVKE

------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a few months since the game has started.

Life was going on as normally, well as normal as a business man working with literally gods chasing you.

Of course even with unlimited stamina, and unmatched skill, it's starting to take a toll on your body. You couldn't explain it, but something was hurting deep inside you.

Maybe it was the fact you haven't been 'you'.

You been stuck as m/n for months! And your kinda starting to forget who you are. Sure it's been a lot of fun to play pretend. Being smug and rich and whatever...but you kinda miss old you.

The person who played genshin for fun! Sure, your no longer financially struggling or suffering but at this point, looking in the mirror is starting to be painful.

You don't know how long you can play this game anymore.

Of course you knew the acolytes and followers are more then devoted to you, willing to do whatever to do whatever you want. To prove themselves to you and win your favor, and this point they added so much people it's starting to get annoying.

Yeah, it's fun but you don't know how much your heart can take it.

Currently your hiding inside a shed, listening carefully to your surroundings outside.

You felt this unbearable sinking feeling in your chest. At this point your tempted to call the game quits because something is very wrong.

You really don't want to though.

Hours passed, sinking in and out of consciousness, you see a person shouting at you trying to warn you something before gasping awake.

You unintentionally fell asleep in the shed, bewildered and stressed out you decided leaving the shed for air was your best bet.

As you clutched onto you stomach you felt very uncomfortable.

You took a deep breathe of air, trying to stable yourself but you can't. You don't know why? Was it you doubting yourself? Who's the person you dreamed of?

Imagines of someone speaking to you popped into your head again, disorienting you.

"Zhongli!" You yelled out, leaning on a wall coughing into your hand, noticing it shine in reflection of the sun.

It was blood.

Your blood.

He immediately appeared, startling you, he looked at you concerned.

You immediately shaped shifted to your original form.

" I-i hate to end the game, but I...I don't feel well I don't think I can continue on." You mumbles to him.

His eyes widen at this, as other acolytes appeared behind him. You started coughing again, and next thing you knew. You vomit out blood, and collapsed on the ground.

You heard screaming, crying, and feeling of hands holding you gently in their grasp.

You also saw that person again briefly, they were stroking your hair mumbling sweet nothings to you.

It felt warm.

Then everything went to black.

-----------------------------------------------------------

You felt comfortable.

Very comfortable.

You blinked slowly, waking up realizing youwere practically drowning in pillows and blankets. Staring at the ceiling above you, before eventually sitting up. You were on this huge bed, gently patting your chest. Noticing the change of clothes.

It was a simple white nightgown, most likely due to your other clothes covered in your blood.

Before you can even think, the door swung open, The archons looking at you.

"YOUR GRACE YOU'RE AWAKE!" Venti yellowed out, practically tears brimming his eyes. " I was so worried! "

"Your highness please, never scare us like that again." Zhongli says, closing the door behind him so others don't barge in.

Ei stood their silently, looking at you with sadden look.

You sigh," Zhongli... explained what happened after I blacked out?"

He nods, " Of course your grace, after...after you passed out, we thought we lost you after so long. We had to shield you and bring you back to the temple quick as possible. We got the best doctors to check up on you. "

You looked at your hands, clenching them into fists before letting go.

"My body was probably stressing out after using so much of my shapeshifting ability. And it magnifying with my identity crisis. It made me too vulnerable.

But who is that person I keep seeing? I didn't even dream of them..."

You sigh, " I apologize for worrying you all, it appears I must pause the game in the meantime. As I need to rest and heal. I had no idea this would have happened. I'll take note of it in the future. "

You tried to get up, but all three Archons immediately set you back down.

" I apologize your highness but we can not let you leave this room. " Zhongli says firmly, tucking you back in. "If you want anything, we will get it for you."

After everything, you just agree with it. "Ei take care of my business, Venti alert the others I'm awake. Zhongli you stay with me. " You quietly ordered them.

They all nod.

You were exhausted even if you just awoke. Som much things already on your mind.

"Zhongli can I ask you an odd request." You mumbles.

"Nothing is odd if it's coming from you your highness. What is your request?" He asked, sitting on a chair besides the bed to keep watch.

You gently lend a hand out, " can I hold your hand?"

He perked up at the request, " H-hold your hand? It would be an honor. " He gently grabs your hand. It felt reassuring to have, as you slowly blink. Falling asleep with your hand interlock with Zhongli's.

You didn't dream of that person again.

-----------------------------------------------------------

You been recovering well, however you practically can not do anything. Like at all.

Also no info could be found of the person you are looking for. Which is huge bummer but you'll look more into it yourself once at full health.

Besides that, due to the accident the Archons are scared you're going to vomit out blood again. They are hovering over you 24/7, like you can't be alone at all. Someone has to be with you at all times.

You couldn't even feed yourself, someone has to feed you by hand while you sat in bed.

It was humiliating.

But you couldn't do much until your strength was fully back.

But there was something you didn't expect....

That was meeting the harbingers.

You were literally in a nightgown, in bed, resting and Dottore was doing a check up on you....

HOW WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO ACT????

You knew of pantalone due to business connects and such as m/n. But the others? How the hell were you supposed to deal with them???

You just sat there, unsure as they asked how your doing and such. It was obvious they wanted to be in your favor.

All you can do is let them, as time passed and you watch the harbingers speak to each other. You paid them no attention as you slowly drifted to sleep engulfed in a warm embrace of it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

At this point, you were so sick of resting.

Besides Ei bringing you papers to read or give your signature to for your business. You practically had nothing to do!

Your been nagged to death by so many people, The Archons, Harbingers, followers etc. The list goes on and your going insane. The amount of times late at night your suffocating yourself with a pillow or punching it before being sedated by Zhongli.

You wanted to rip your hair out!

However the more you slept, the more you talked to 'that' person.

You still don't know who it is, but it's clear they were warning you of your illness.

Which confused you still, but that's a plus up. However that still doesn't change your issues.

1. Who is dream person?

2.Health is not fully healed.

3.Stuck in the temple much to your displeasure.

4. Having to pause the game.

Things are not going as you planned....

You are pacing in your room, Zhongli watching you in concerned.

"Is something wrong your highness? You seem troubled. " He asked but all you can do is pace back in forth thinking.

You looked at him.

"Zhongli, what your opinion in continuing the game? We never finished it." You faced him. He thinks about it, " I-im unsure your highness, believe me, as we want to prove our loyalty to you. You must understand we don't know how much you recovered. We fear of loosing you. "

" so if I were to wish to continue, it's assume the others would decline? "

" Most likely yes your highness. "

You sigh, running your hand through your hair, " call a meeting with everyone involved in the game. " You command yanking the doors open and swiftly walking down the hallway.

Zhongli immediately chases after you, " your highness! I understand you're displeased but your in a nightgown! Barefooted on tile! " He tries to usher you , but you only ignored him.

Others soon noticed you, common folk immediately bowed before you and stepped away. Others started to follow behind you trying to put you back to bed.

You headed to the throne room, and sat at your throne. Not caring if your dressed improperly, you wanted things done.

Aether and Paimon was visiting a noticed you walking in and the archons following behind you as well body guards. He was confused what was going on as more appeared. Soon him and Paimon was ushered in.

You held a meeting.

"As many of you know, I gotten I'll however. I feel I rested enough. I wish to continue the game. " You command, resting your head on your hand watching the others.

Chatter erupted the room.

Some disagreed to this, prioritizing your health above anything else. Other's were arguing for it, as you created the game and wished for this.

It was hotly debated between the folk.

You sat above and watched down at them, listening to their opinions. You honestly wanted to know what to do. Crossing you legs and pondered.

Zhongli was absolutely against this and he took off his coat and place it on your lap. Keeping you covered.

"Ah, thank you." You quietly say. Unknowingly as others noticed this. Them turing to face you.

"Its my pleasure your highness." Zhongli says with a smile, placing a kiss on your hand.

What was meant to be a serious debated turned into an argument over you. And now others were suggesting to give you a piece of their clothing to you.

You couldn't help but laugh nervously and blush at this stupid situation. How the hell are you supposed to manage this stupid mess? This is nothing like running a business.

God help me.

Aranara Mafia AU

-> Pt. 1

It's been a few weeks since the disappearance of the "Impostor", and things still aren't turning out for the best, every nation is going through a horrible famine.

It got so bad to the point where Mondstadt had to ration their food and some shops went bankrupt from how dry the land was.

The issue is, even if they had land, no matter how many seeds they buy to grow fruits or vegetables, they'd always disappear overnight. The Acting Grandmaster, Jean, suspects that the treasure hoarders have been stealing grain and the missing stock of seeds.

One day, on a late night stroll, she finally caught a treasure hoarder stealing from a closed shop near Dawn Winery. She tied him up and brought him back to the Knights of Favonius' headquarters to be interrogated.

Weirdly enough, during the interrogation, the treasure hoarder seemed to be distracted, he seemed to be getting paler every minute, stuttering and on the verge of screaming at every question given.

But suddenly, mid-interrogation, there was a knock.

Jean and the treasure hoarder notices this, but Jean ignores it and continues interrogating.

After a few seconds, the door slams open.

A small... cabbage..? In a suit with sunglasses came in, holding a briefcase. It sets the briefcase on Jean's desk before disappearing.

The treasure hoarder also disappears.

She then opens the briefcase, and inside of it was some mora, and leaves with some weird drawings and writings on it.

Jean is currently wondering if Lisa put something in her tea, or if overworking herself has been taking a toll on her mental health.

Meanwhile, in Vanarana

The treasure hoarder, who was being interrogated, is now being lectured, sworn at and kicked in the shins by around 6 aranara, who circle him.

The Creator sometimes regrets showing the Aranara movies with Mafia in them

Wherein the Creator is also known as the Holy Puppeteer, courtesy of the people she puppeteered around to see Teyvat in its glory.

Your hair stuck to the sides of your face. The trench coat you threw on to brave the snowy walk to the mall fluttered behind you, tattered and torn.

You were bleeding, you were tired, and you were running.

They shrieked and glared at you. Babbling about disrespect and Creator and death.

Hot tears slid off your cheeks and froze on the ground.

Your lungs burned; blood and soot decorated your clothes. The footsteps you left behind in the pristine snow of Dragonspine stood out with crimson charm.

Your blood stained the snow and laced it with gold. The snow foxes emerged from the icy corners and watched you flee.

You are alone.

Your skin is sickly pale and painful, golden strings erupted from your fingertips, grappling for anything that may save its master.

You play them around for your entertainment. You watch their stories play and do nothing. It is out of your hands, you didn’t know.

You didn’t know, you swear you didn’t know.

The strings thicken and wrap around you, hopelessly providing what little insulation it can to preserve your body heat. You’re getting desperate, the hot pain of the string and the stinging cold of the icy winds muddling your conscious. Everything’s a blur and you don’t know what’s happening anymore.

Why are you here?

The snow crunches under you as you fall, wrapped in a cold, golden cocoon of string. And suddenly, you cry out in relief.

Warmth spreads through you. You hug yourself and immediately flinch. It’s so warm, why is my skin so cold?

You distantly notice you stopped shivering.

The heat ramps up but your skin still feels freezing and soon you curl up and what is happening-

It’s too hot, why is it so hot-?

Your vision blurs; not that it matters, all you see is a wall of gold anyways. The heat feels like its boiling your blood and in response you try to rip off your clothes, push the pretty walls away, anything to balance out the sudden heat you’re feeling.

Black spots invade your sight and soon your wall of gold is a cold dark void.

Your body slowly stops moving as it puffs out your last breath.

A shimmery golden.. mass is not really what Albedo was expecting to see in the desolate land of Dragonspine, but here he is.

Even more surprising is the flora growing around and on it, uncaring of the freezing winds and the lack of soil.

If there’s no soil, there wouldn’t be enough nutrients for it to even bloom, right?

Maybe it’s another spectacle waiting for him to study.

Unsheathing his sword, he trims off the stray threads and cuts into the mass of suprisingly durable string.

The Cinnabar Spindle falls to the ground. Lifeless black, as cold as the snow around your carcass, bore dread into horrified teal.

Constellations littered your pale skin and the fading cosmos stay visible in your irises. If that wasn’t already a dead giveaway to who the body belonged to, the golden string from your fingertips is confirmation of your identity enough.

Without waiting another minute, he buries all the string, cuts it off and away from your fingers, picks you up, and bolts for his lab.

The rest of Teyvat who knew Albedo are left to question why Klee disappeared along with him, why neither of them can be found anywhere, and why Teyvat slowly caves in on itself.

They look to their statues of you only to be met with more puzzlement when they’re met with a cracked and curled statue, once smooth marble now jagged at the edges, and gold stripes from their anguished, stone eyes to the bottom of their cheeks.

The statue itself is surrounded by a puddle of molten gold and withered plants, the sight allowing the forming pit of despair in their guts to grow.

aka chocogi challenges themself on how to say you dont know anything about hypothermia without saying it directly

sorry lmao i was dead for some time

edit three people want a part two so have my brainrot

Hi! First, English isn't my native language, please let me know about any grammar mistake. Second, this is supposed to be a Gn!reader, but I'm used of writing male!reader stuff, so please don't consider any pronoun if not gender neutral ones. This is only a... test- let's see how it will go and maybe I will keep writing it.

Sky of Lies

huh... these mortals...how adorable

Aren't you angry about this?

As long they keep up with the heavenly principles, why would I?

People of Fontaine was overjoyed to have the creator choosing their nation to reside in, the creator was different than expected. They seems tired, yet he still somewhat kind

Creator was definelly a quiet person, not really giving attention to any of their acolytes, they assumed they were tired and still weak for waking up of their slumb. Obsessed over a "key" that no one ever heard about, schoolers and adventures all around the whole Teyvat, mostly Akademiya's tried to discover about this mysterious key. Nahida even tried to look about it at Irmsul, while she could see that it existed, she couldn't see clearly what it was about. She could only see flashes of the creator in a place that looks like Celestia, the blurry image of them look at her direction, as if they can see her even if it happen thousands years ago... then Irmsul reject her power.

When the creator knew about it, they got frustrated cursing Celestia through their breath and rudely saying to Nahida to leave.

When the traveler finally see the creator, they were at Neuvillette's office as Creator was again asking if they had any progress about the investigation. Aether can't brush off the unsetting feeling, Paimon was strangely quiet, Aether and the Creator look at each other, Creator's eyes widens slightly..

Creator: Traveler! Finally! Have you possible heard of the key?

Paimon: Paimon don't remember seeing about it in our adventures

Creator: Maybe before it?

Paimon: Hm.. but Traveler dont remember nothing before he found Paimon, oh oh! and his sister too! Paimon wonders how this key looks like, your grace?

Creator: I dont know for sure, when i fell in my slumber, Celestia took it away and changed it. Im not sure anymore

Aether's expression was serious, yet he kept quiet... Paimon was answering for him. Neuvillette frowns was not noticeable... strange... Traveler was only silent when he was being used as a vessel for fhe Creator... but why would Aether be silent while talking to the Creator themselves... Paimon was different too, but Neuvillette couldnt point exactly what or why.

Neuvillette: Your grace, people all around Teyvat are searching. I'm sure we soon will be able to give what you search for.

Paimon: Why do you need this... "key" creator?

They keep silent for some seconds then finally answer:

To restore what was long lost...

SAGAU: My Thoughts on the Archons in Impostor Aus

Whenever I read impostor aus, I always think of how the archons could easily be tricked by the impostor. And this is mostly just my thoughts with the impostor au.

I feel like the divine god would have this presence or aura that you can just tell is godlike. Like when you stand near them you can feel their presence. And I also feel like to non-mortals it's different.

And if the au specified that the reader existed long ago and that the archons had met them, wouldn't they know what the reader's aura felt like? And if the impostor tried to fake being the creator, wouldn't they instantly know? Cause they're gods too, right?

If I were to write an impostor au, it would be pretty short since I feel like the archons would tell their people if the impostor was real or not and the others would agree.

I have this small scenario where when the impostor first shows up and the humans all believe them. When word gets to that nation's archon, at first they would probably feel excited since their creator is finally back, but once meeting them they're instantly suspicious of the fake.

They don't feel like their creator, they don't have that aura like they did so long ago. And not to mention that the world doesn't react to them like it used to. And now they're suspicious of this person claiming to be the creator.

Some of them could immediately tell their people that this is a fake, some could drop hints so they could figure it out themselves, others could just stay silent on the matter. Depends on what you decide really.

And when the reader does finally arrive and the archons meet them, they finally feel that familiar presence they felt long ago when their god was around. This is their true god, not that fake parading around using their face.

And so the fake is thrown out or imprisoned or executed, whatever au type it is, and the reader is celebrated for being the true creator and finally arriving after so long.

For whatever reason it feels like whatever I type it doesn't sound, correct? Like it makes no sense in my brain, maybe it does or maybe it doesn't, idk

I just KNOW that in a imposter au traveller won't be tricked by the imposter

They haven't being on Tevyat until now so they just get to know about you a little ago, and most important they had felt your presence when you saved them when that strange god attacked them (u know, since you have to choose a twin)

They had been your first vessel and even if isn't one of your mains it is there with you every now an then (for cinematics and some missions)

He knows your energy more than anyone else and knows that the one in the throne isn't you, but probably don't tell anyone aside from Paimon because they will be acused of being a traidor or something

new sprouts

summary: chongyun in liyue, what will he find? the devil, maybe. god? certainly.

word count: ~1.7k

-> warnings: uh. injury? blood mention. minor spoilers for chongyun lore?

-> gn reader (you/yours)

taglist: @samarill || @thenyxsky || @valeriele3 || @shizunxie || @boba-is-a-soup || @yuus3n || @esthelily || @turningfrogsgay || @cupandtea24 || @genshin-impacts-me

< prev || < masterlist >

chongyun ran as quickly as he could, weaving between the scraggly trees. the ground beneath him shook, shards of geo biting into the sandbearers around him. the vishaps were quick, more vicious than usual. he wasn’t here for them, having simply been going for a walk, but it seems like his day was about to be far more eventful than he expected.

he pulled himself up into a tree to avoid an attack, the branches shaking as the vishap ran into the trunk. he wasn’t strong enough for this, not by a long shot, not when they were clearly enhanced by whatever malicious energy was in the area. he’d be better off calling in the millelith, or an adepti to deal with the source of energy.

the vishaps clawed at the tree and he looked around, frantic. he didn’t have nearly enough elemental energy in his vision to pull off a big attack yet, and liyue was far more favorable to the vishaps’ claws. he couldn’t run, he couldn’t climb, he’d have to hide, but where?

he climbed higher into the tree, balancing precariously on slightly too small branches. the tree was close enough to a cliff he could jump to it, maybe making it to the top before the vishaps if he was quick enough, but what then? what if there was nothing up there? half the cliff was obscured by the leaves anyway, what if it was an impossible climb? what if-

the tree shook again, something cracking loudly, and he jumped for the cliff before he could think. he slipped a few inches, but was able to find holds easily enough, pulling himself up the rock as quickly as he could. still, it was steep, and he could hear the scrape of claws below him rapidly approaching. there was a dark crack in the cliff halfway between him and the top, but there wasn’t any negative energy bleeding from it. it looked thin enough the vishaps couldn’t get in, and as he got closer he saw light coming from it… with only a moment’s hesitation, he climbed inside.

he could hear the vishaps clawing at the entrance but didn’t try to turn back, pulling himself deeper. one reached deep enough to cut down his side, tearing through his clothes, but he didn’t focus on that. the crack led somewhere, he could see the room open up, he just needed a few more feet to get there. he reached for the edge, his fingers stinging where he’d scuffed them, and pulled. the stone walls bit into him, as if found their best to keep him out, but with a final push he was free, falling to the floor.

chongyun took a moment to breathe, vision pulsing as he cooled himself down. adrenaline pumped through his body, persistent even through his breathing exercises. his head spun, the coolness of the cave doing little to help. he should look around the cave, make sure he’s safe, but he didn’t sense any dangerous energy. the vishaps had stopped tearing at the entrance, and he could only hope it wasn’t because there was an alternate entrance.

wind ghosted over his face, something soft brushing his nose. he opened his eyes, met with the surprising sight of a geo crystal fly. they were normally skittish, fleeing from anything that moved… how strange.

he sat up, the crystalfly fluttering away as he turned. the cave was big, roughly circular, lush plants growing along the walls. light fell through cracks in the ceiling, lighting up the wings of crystalflies as they flew lazily, an impossible amount of life sustained by so little resources. in the center of the room was a stone pedestal, sides too uniform to be natural, a woven bowl of vines sitting atop it.

a quick glance with elemental sight revealed an obvious abundance of elemental energy, dendro lining the walls and floor. what was surprising was the fact that the stone beneath it, including the pedestal, contained far more geo energy than normal. behind the vine wall in the center was something brimming with energy, all seven elements flocking to a core he couldn’t make out.

was this was the vishaps were so protective of? if he felt for it, the core was giving off a peaceful aura, stronger than his own yang, but it was suppressed. the vines, perhaps?

he tried to stand and gave up just as fast, his side burning with pain. he pulled his first aid supplies from his inventory, checking the damage. the cut was shallow, thankfully, stretched down most of his side. he was lucky he’d gotten as far in as he did, or who knows what would have happened.

several crystalflies flew over as he patched himself up, watching curiously. he tried not to pay attention, focusing on keeping his hands steady, but it was hard not to be curious. while most of the crystalflies were geo, there were some anemo and dendro ones as well. it’s strange, this cave is strange, and he can’t tell if he should run for backup or try to deal with it himself.

he pools cryo in his hand and presses it to his side to help dull the pain, stumbling to his feet. the crystalflies stay around him as he slowly walks for the vine bowl. but they knit closer as he approaches, forming a bubble to hide the core from him.

“oh, come on…” he reached for the vines, but thorns sprouted in an instant. he tried to freeze them with his vision but they were resilient, refusing to die. when he pulled his hands away, the frost melted in the next moment, quickly returning to bright green. it was like they absorbed his cryo, feeding it into the core. for what it’s worth, the vines seemed to loosen slightly, at least slightly weakened. so to access the core, he’d have to…

he should probably leave, go find the millelith or call in an adeptus, but something about the core drew him in. he should feel afraid, that he was so attracted to something he couldn’t even see, but… archons, he couldn’t just leave.

he took his hand from his side, placing both on the area he’d frozen prior. the thorns had disappeared at some point, allowing him to press directly onto the vines themselves. with a deep breath and a quick reassessment of his injury, he drew on his vision once more.

within a few moments, his wound began to ache again, but he didn’t pay it any mind. he kept his breath measured and the flow of cryo smooth; a slight sting when he fully inhaled wasn’t anything. he needed to get to the core, irrationally so, something about it drawing him in. it couldn’t wait, he couldn’t stop, his injury would be fine as long as he kept going.

crystalflies began to land on the vine shield, drawn to either the core or the energy he was pouring into it. whatever it was, it was important, important enough that the bubble only began to recess once his vision began to flicker. he leaned on the stone pedestal, breathing heavily, fumbling for a popsicle from his inventory. the vines unknit reluctantly, revealing several layers of elemental energy. first hydro, frosted over in one spot by his cryo. then a thin film of geo, crumbling away, and finally a blue sheen of anemo. so many elements, all refusing to react with each other…

the anemo faded into pale mist, his popsicle nearly falling from his hand in shock. the core of this cave, the thing the vishaps were protecting, the thing drawing him in so strongly… was you?

you, the imposter? you were what the world wanted to defend so fiercely?

…what he had wanted to find so desperately?

he bit another piece from his popsicle, moving his hand from the stone back to his side to soothe the growing pain. he was torn, conflicted about your presence here. you were clearly well taken care of, without a speck of dirt on your skin, but.. you were supposed to be hated. you were the imposter, right? yet all this life, these elements, the vishaps just outside- it shouldn’t be possible. there already was a creator on the throne, and they wanted you dead and gone, but the only thing capable of keeping this cave alive-…

for the first time in his life, chongyun got chills.

(the weather is good in liyue. unusually so. the sun is warm and the breeze is cool, the waters lapping gently at the shore. it’s as if the world can finally breathe, relaxing from the tense storms of the past few months. people find themself with a bit more mora than they had before, or perhaps they find something long lost.)

(the adepti look down from the clouds, glancing at each other in unease. hooves meet the ground in nerves, hands tensing, ready to reach for weapons.)

(the elements are calm in liyue. for the past few months, they’d needed to call in the assistance of the anemo archon to relieve the winds that wanted to rage. the stone has settled, the key lines calm.)

(“what do we do?” nothing. “what did we do?” nothing. red ropes lay tight, a gloved hand set on a mask, both ready to fight against whatever storm comes after this calm.)

(the earth is at ease in liyue. the tianquan steps out of her jaded chamber, yuheng at her side. she watches her city, the port, the taste of imported wine still sweet hours later. the night is cool, the moon reflecting off the waves in rippling lines, and yet both are tense.)

(“perhaps the creator has calmed?”)

(a shake of the head, a twist of the lips.)

(the crystalflies fly calm in liyue. relaxed, happy, content. nobody knows why; nobody but one.)

Just a tiny sneak peak on what I’m winging at rn. Just to help me get back into writing again and because I was inspired!!

Note: since this isn’t very planned out there will most likely have plot holes and might not make much sense. That might also be because I’ve been in such a burnout with writing for almost half a year or more.

#genshin impact #genshin x reader #just a small thing #genshin fanfic #genshin x you #genshin creator au #genshin imposter au #genshin sagau #genshin sagau x reader #you’re gonna have to wait #can’t guarantee it will be out anytime soon #I’m still in the recovery phase lmao #feedback would be nice tho!

Watching From The Sidelines P.2

[SAGAU X SHAPESHIFTER READER]

Synopsis: You were living very comfortably as a wealthy business man, but issues start to occur to ruin your peace.

A/n: y/n is gender neutral and goes by they/they however is referred to as business man and your grace.

Tag list:

@randomnatics @the-2nd-random-kid @smokey-cat @moosieman12345 @nexylaza @stellakito @apple-ai

-----------------------------------------------------------

You were sitting at your desk , foot up, a pen gently tapping on your lips as you thought as what to do. Your adjusted your sunglasses back as you eventually sigh, adjusting the large coat you wore. Setting the pen down and sitting up straight as you put on your thick gloves.

You wore many layers to limit physical contact with others and prevent small cuts to reveal your identity. Even if you regenerate fast, it's a hassle to hide. You eventually stood up peering out the window, looking at the temple outside.

You couldn't help but smile at the mess occuring this time. You open the doors to the outside balcony and leaned on the railing watching the scene play.

The Archons we're getting frustrated at the imposter, with each day they are loosing more of their faith. It's obvious by their body language and attitude.

Especially today is really bad.

But even knowing that the imposter will die, you can't help but envy them. Only because they are using your face so freely. You miss staring at your face and being called by your true name. Not m/n.

But at the same time it's better to be called m/n then be dead.

You scoffed as you eventually met eyes with Zhongli. He noticed you up above, he almost taken aback by your calm demeanour. As if you weren't unfazed but expected this. He looked at Venti and Ei who are still pleading with the creator. When he looks up to see you, you simply disappeared back into the building.

He can't explain it but something is definitely wrong.

---------------------------------------------------------

You were back inside, sighing as you poured yourself a drink, sipping on it quietly glancing out the window before facing at the door.

There was a small knocking.

Your assistant, walked inside your office leaving a pile of papers to do. You also had a meeting to attend to with your assistant over new products and manufacturing.

Thank the gods for those manhwa stories.

Anyway, you looked at the papers Infront of you mindlessly. Before both you and your assistant alerted to a loud noise outside. You set the papers down looking outside, the was a mob of people.

Apparently they are starting to ralley against the imposter. However what you didn't expect is the praying for forgiveness from so many people. You can hear them and it's giving you a headache.

You open the doors and peered out from the balcony, with your assistant behind you.

"It seems their going to execute them." Your assistant says bluntly.

You hummed in response, "Most likely. I don't blame them."

"What do you mean sir/ma'am? Did you predict that this will happen."

You thought for a second, "Did you ever see the creators disciples happy? No, they just did what is told of them. Blinded by the thought of their creator returning. Plus, they themselves saw the truth. But then again I'm not a believer of the creator. I prefer Lady Tsaritsa. "

That was a lie you technically used, often to distant yourself from the whole creator faith. Plus most SAGAU fics don't include her so it's an easy lie to use. Besides giving donations you didn't have to do much.

"sir/ma'am what do you think will happen after the fake God's death?"

You gripped onto the railing, " That, I do not know. Maybe search for the true Creator? Who knows. So much years passed. They could be dead. "

Your assistant just nodded, as the blade fell down on the imposter killing them instantly. Their red blood pooling under them.

On lookers disgusting, baffled and enraged.

Others were pleading for forgiveness and mercy.

The Archons were disappointed with themselves.

But you? Oh, you had the biggest shit eating grin you had on your face.

"Miss Lee, order the finest champagne and ask the maids to prepare me a snack it seems it'll be a long day today. " You ordered, with your arms behind your back.

"Yes Sir/Ma'am." She bowed and quickly left the room. You just watch the chaos around you, it felt wonderful. It was exhilarating, the screaming, crying, anger. You can practically taste it. It was delicious. You practically felt high on it.

Eventually you took a deep breathe and calmed down.

It was going to be a very eventful week.

--------------------------------------------------------

Days later

Due to Imposters death, sales of products and price went up!

Why? It's simple the need of comfort!

It's human nature to use things to comfort themselves after something big as that!

People buy things they want and not need. From sweets, alcohol, materials etc.

Which means more mora, and with more mora that means living well and helping the poor. Which is a big plus.

After setting up the papers and finishing paper work, you can finally relax.

Well that's how it's originally supposed to go.

Now Infront standing in front you in your office was, Zhongli, Venti and Ei.

You cough, clearing your voice.

"Well, I didn't expect to see you three here, now may I ask how can I help you?"

They looked at each other, Venti speaking up first "Grace, why didn't you tell us?"

You blinked at them, " I beg your pardon? Grace? You must be mistaken. I'm just simply a wealthy business man, nothing less and nothing more."

Zhongli placed his hand on the desk, "My grace please, if your upset with us I understand but please don't say that."

You were having fun playing your role, "You do know this is blasphemous do you not? You kill a fake God and next thing I know I'm being called one? I don't wish to fall upon the same fate as them. "

God, you wanted to smile so bad, but you kept your face unfazed.

The three Archons looked remorseful, they going to practically beg on their knees for your forgiveness.

But before they can, your assistant walks in, " Sorry to interrupt but you have a meeting soon. "

You hummed, " Is that so? Well if you can excuse I must be on my way. " They wanted to stop you but you swiftly moved around them and headed out. Following behind your assistant with a smile.

After that, they started visiting you more and more, along side others you didn't expect.

Albedo, Aether, Paimon, Xiao etc.

They kept just standing around your office as you worked. They insist doing for you, but you always brushed them off.

Especially the Archons, they follow you around like dogs with tails between their legs. It was getting bothersome at points.

Even your assistant noticed this and was baffled at what was going on but all you could do is shrug and deny that your the Creator.

---------------------------------------------------------

Eventually you left liyue, to live in your manor and kept your distance. Knowing damn well they are probably looking for you frantically since you are no longer in the office building. And your assistant is taking control of that department.

You're betting at least a day for them to find you.

Laughing at the absurdity of it all, you can't help but feel proud. You hope they are ready for a game of cat and mouse.

Because your always going to be one step ahead of them.

Because where's the fun in revealing yourself now?

Be a Gladiolus in a Field of Belladonnas pt1

(Summary): Classic imposter au, but what if the archons know your the Creator but don’t have control over their actions and are forced to hunt you down (original concept)

(Characters): Diluc, Kaeya, Venti, Lumine, Paimon, & Amber

(Warnings): Not beta read

─────────── ✧ ───────────

A soft breeze pushes your hair into your face, you turn over feeling the little pricks on your exposed skin. Realizing that something is wrong you shot up and surveyed your surroundings

Green fields is all you can see, completely different from the area you were previously in. You stood up and started walking, deciding it’s a lot better than standing there with a thumb up your ass. You didn’t know what direction you were going but hoped you would find a cliff and see if there were any settlements

After what seemed like hours, you declared that the gods of this world were angry at you, no sign of civilization either looking from the top of hills or from the ground. It didn’t help you were frustrated beyond belief, you kept thinking on how the terrain was vaguely familiar but you couldn’t put your finger on it

The sun has long since retired for the night and you followed its lead by finding an area that didn’t look too uncomfortable. Maybe tomorrow you would have better luck if you’re well rested and have a clear head

Upon laying down you noticed the sea of stars splattered across the night sky. A difference you welcomed, compared to the highly polluted skies back home. You tried to see if you can piece together some constellations, nope. The same issue you had with the landscape, oddly familiar yet foreign at the same time. Now thinking about it, it’s like your whole mind is surrounded by some thick smog impairing your ability to think

No matter, you should try to be getting some sleep. As the haze of sleep drapes over your form, you feel something poking at your side

Still in your grogginess and confusion induced by sleep almost taking over you, you tried to ignore the poking hoping it’ll stop. It doesn’t much to your annoyance, you whip your head towards the person poking you and are greeted with the sight of beige fur and a mask with red paint in the center

A hilichurl

On instinct you moved away from the hilichurl. The creature seemed to be caught off guard and panicked. The hilichurl tried to motion to something in an attempt to explain something to you. Whatever it is you were too occupied with your yelling

You fumbled to get up when you saw more hilichurls and a mitachurl coming towards you out of the corner of your eye

The haze of sleep instantly dissipates as you sprinted at full speed. The group of hilichurls began to chase after you. The amount of adrenaline pumping through your body started to lessen as your legs started to screaming at you stop, but didn’t listen. Run, run, run until they stop chasing you. You were too focused on the hilichurls behind you didn’t see the log slightly buried in the dirt

You fell on the ground with a hard thud, you tried to get up but fell down immediately after. The sounds of hilichurl cries got louder and louder, you were too paralyzed by fear to see how close the group had gotten. You shut your eyes waiting for the impact of the club

“This is RETRIBUTION!”

You felt a wave of heat pass by you accompanied by the call of a bird. You turned your head and saw a figure almost blended into the background, the only reason you can make out the figure was due to the flames and mainly due to their long firey red hair

The person clad in black made quick work of the hillichurls, leaving the mitachurl for last.

The redhead swung their large sword, but the shield stopped the sword from slicing at the mitachurl. The creature readjust the shield in it’s hands and knocks the figure off their feet.

The stranger got back on their feet and picked the sword up. As they began to swing their sword, it was set alight

“BURN!!”

The sword cut through the wooden shield mitachurl, leaving only black smoke and ash remaining of the creature

The person stood up straight and turned towards you. Red hair framing a pale face and hollow eyes the same color look into your wide eyes

DILUC?!

Is what you would’ve said but you were left with your mouth hanging open. The realization that you were in the world of genshin left you at a lost for words

“Are you alright?” Diluc kneeled down and offered you his hand

You just noticed that the mask he would usually wear was missing. Still at a lost for words you pointed towards your face, especially the eye area. It took him a few seconds to get what you were gesturing about and reached to see if his mask is still on but felt his skin

“I won’t tell anyone what happened. And thanks for saving me.”

“It’s nothing, I’m just more concerned about you. Can you walk?”

“Uh, I think so…”

You took his hand and when he helped you up a sharp pain shoot your leg, causing you to fall onto Diluc’s chest

“It looks like you injured your foot during the pursuit, I’ll take you to my manor and have it looked over tomorrow.”

Before you could thank him for his great generosity, he lifted up your legs in a bridal carry and began walking

“My name is Diluc, what’s yours?”

You paused and thought for a moment, since you had no idea what is going on and why you’re in the world of genshin. It’s better the less they know for now

“I… think it’s, Mentir.”

You hoped he wouldn’t dwell on the “name” you gave him and just think your parents wanted to be original and give a name no one has ever heard before.

“I haven’t heard of that name before, but it sounds nice. It’s nice to meet you, Mentir.” Diluc greeted as the two of you walk towards the winery that could be seen in the distance

─────────── ✧ ───────────

The warm rays of the sun shone on your face, gently waking you up. You thought it was odd, you hated when the sun would shine its harsh rays on you, but now it’s more comforting.

“It be because I’m not on earth.” You rationalized

A knock brought you out of your thoughts

“Come in.”

Diluc opened the door and walked into the room and an elderly woman followed closely behind

“Good morning Mentir, how did you sleep?”

“Pretty good.”

“That’s good to hear, I brought a doctor to look over your injuries.”

“Good morning, dearie.” The old woman greeted you. “I’ll start to examine you, and if you get uncomfortable just say so.”

The elderly woman began to examine your foot, her calloused hands were surprisingly gentle against your skin. She softly pressed and squeezed parts of your foot and ankle, and quickly stop when you hissed in pain. The doctor took her hands away from your ankle and sat back down

“It looks like, it’s just a sprained ankle. Nothing too serious, it will take you about 2-3 weeks.”

“That’s good to hear, I was concerned the injury was serious.”

“That’s what I thought, but it seems like our dearie here is greatly favored by our beloved Creator, and to be blessed to look like them too.”

“Creator? Who’s that?” You asked

The woman and Diluc exchanged looks of confusion

“Would you mind if I check your head?”

“Uh, go ahead.”

The doctor felt around your head, running her fingers through your scalp. “Master Diluc told me that he found you in the wilderness at night. Do you remember how you got there?”

After going through your memories you realize something was wrong.

“I don’t remember.”

Trying desperately to recall what you did before before, but you keep drawing blanks. Maybe trying to remember what you did the a few hours before but everything comes up fuzzy and almost impossible to decipher. The cloud over them feels a lot like the haze you noticed last night. But why can’t you remember…

“You don’t have to force yourself, dearie.”

The soothing voice of the doctor brought you out of your spiral. “It’s alright if you don’t remember, forcing yourself to remember will only make things worse.” The elderly doctor’s words calmed down your growing nerves. You flinched when the doctor gently pressed a specific spot on your head. “It hurts when I apply pressure there?”

You nodded and the doctor withdrew their hands and turned towards Diluc

“It seems like our dearie here have some amnesia.”

“Amnesia? But they remember some things, like their name?”

“There’s been some new discoveries about amnesia, some people can get it but still have some memories. It was just discovered by doctors in Sumeru, so there’s not a lot of information on it.”

“That’s unfortunate, Mentir do you remember your family or know where they’re staying?” Diluc asked

You shook your head

“If that’s the case, then I’ll be looking after you from now on.”

You nodded your head. “T-thank you… Master Diluc.”

“Diluc, is fine.” He reassured

The elderly doctor put her hand on Diluc’s to catch his attention. “Our dearie here needs some rest, it’s best if we leave them be.”

Diluc nodded at the suggestion, he stood out of his chair and made his way toward the door before stopping. “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me or one of the servants.” And with that Diluc and the doctor left the room

You laid down on the bed and turned on your side. Thinking back on all of the information that was thrown at you in rapid succession

A Creator that looks just like you, it’s just those sagau fics you used to read used to read all the time back home. You have to learn more this “Creator” before making your next move. Thankfully this seems like this is a more rational sagau, on the fact that Diluc didn’t hunt you down when he first saw you

Maybe you can use this amnesia thing to your advantage to get a better understanding of this world, but for now it’s better to get some rest

─────────── ✧ ───────────

It’s strange really, getting this attached to someone who is in essence a stranger, but Diluc can’t help it

It’s very peculiar for the man who usually wall off his emotions to break them down for you. It’s like you’ve known him for a very long time and has gained his trust. He trust you to know his secret identity as the Dark Knight Hero. Your presence has brighten up his normally dreary life

Just being near you brings a sense of peace and bliss he only gets when the Creator uses his body as a vessel. Your smile is what makes him get up in the morning, the way your face lights up gets him through his nightly patrols around Mondstadt. In simple words he looks forward to coming home. Seeing you is something he thinks is worth fighting for

“Ehe~”

The wretched laugh of a certain bard brought Diluc’s attention towards two smug faces

“What do you two want?” Diluc asked bluntly

“We’re just wondering what could be making you happier than normal?” Kaeya snickered

“It’s no concern of yours, and if you two keep prying I’m going to cut you off.”

“Such a harsh response, could it be that a secret lover has melted the pyro user’s heart of ice?” Venti mused

“Don’t be silly.” Diluc grumbled, unaware of his ears growing red

“My, Diluc having a secret lover? That’s almost hard to believe, but are you going to bring them around the tavern?” Kaeya joked

Diluc starred at the two drunkards with his usual deadpan stare

“That’s it, I’m cutting you both off.”

“Eh?! That’s not fair, Master Diluc!” Venti Cried

“It’s my tavern and it’s closing time, see you two tomorrow, unfortunately…”

Diluc closed up Angel’s Share and kicked out Venti and Kaeya. After locking the tavern he made the long trek to the winery, but instead of it feeling tedious he felt an excitement swell up within him

He wanted to see you again, he wanted to hear your voice again. His thoughts were filled with you that he didn’t notice he reached the winery until he heard

“Diluc, you’re home!” You greeted with the brightest smile on your face. “Look! I can finally walk without those crutches!”

“That’s good to hear.” Diluc commented

“I’ve been doing the physical therapy exercises the doctor told me to do, and now I can go anywhere without those crutches weighing me down!”

“You must remember not to over exert yourself.”

“Sorry…”

Even though it’s a simple conversation, it gives a harmony he never thought he would ever find, at least in a long time

Seeing that your condition has improved he thought it would be a good idea to bring you out of the manor for at least a day, so what’s the worst that could happen

“Would you like to accompany me to the parade tomorrow?”

─────────── ✧ ───────────

The streets of Mondstadt were full of life. Lampposts decorated with flowers and ribbons. People wore flowers either in their hair or attached to their clothes

All of this to celebrate the birth of the Divine Creator

You and Diluc were at a stall getting ready for the day’s festivities, you were cleaning the cups when you caught a glimpse of teal and blue

“So this is the person that’s gotten Diluc out of his constant scowl?” Venti questioned

“My, it’s pretty selfish to hoard all of the attention of this fine stranger. Tell me, what is your name.” Kaeya mused

“Uhh… it’s Me-Mentir.”

The glint of the captain’s eye had you sweating and shaking. His eye seemed to be piercing into your soul and you didn’t like it. Diluc got in between you and Kaeya, taking his attention away from you.

“Kaeya, I would suggest you refrain from making my guest uncomfortable.”

“Oh, are you afraid that I might steal them away from you?”

Even though Diluc’s back was facing you, the anger he was radiating could be felt. The air surrounding the three of you became tense, the two brothers looked like they were about to summon their weapons and fight

“Hey now, it’s not appropriate to fight, it’ll sour the mood.” Venti interjected as he pushed Kaeya away with a gush of wind. “And it would be a shame to brawl on the Creator’s birthday.”

“Venti’s right, and look who just got here.” You noted as you directed the group’s attention to a certain blonde

“Hey Master Diluc! Kaeya! Venti!” A high pitched voice yelled out

“Traveler, Paimon, it’s good to see you.” Diluc greeted

You turned to see Lumine and Paimon walking towards you. When the blonde traveler caught sight of you her eyes widened, her floating companion noticed Lumine being more quiet than she usually is.

“Who’s your friend, they look familiar but Paimon has never seen them around before.”

“Hey, I’m Mentir.”

“Mentir? That’s a very strange name to have.”

“I apologize for my emergency food, she not the sharpest tool in the shed.” Lumine interjected

“Hey! Don’t call Paimon dumb and don’t call her emergency food!!” The fairy stomped in the air

“Master Diluc, would you mind if I show Mentir around the festival?” Lumine asked Diluc, completely ignoring her floating companion

“If it were anyone else I would refuse, but since it’s you I’ll allow it, if Mentir is fine with it.”

“I’m okay going with Lumine.” You said

Diluc raised an eyebrow to your statement but turned his expression back to his usual stoic face.

“Alright, you three have fun.”

Lumine lead you away from the stall and took to see the different sights and try foods that were only available during the festival, but you noticed your further away from the crowd of people

“Traveler! It’s so nice to see you made it to the festival!”

You turned around and saw the energetic Amber

“Hi Amber, what are you doing here this far from the main street?” Lumine asked

“I was doing some very last minute stuff, but that’s done now and I’m so glad to bump into you and…” Amber turned her attention towards you

“This is Mentir, they’re new around here.” Paimon explained

“It’s nice to meet you Mentir, you must be very blessed by the Creator to look exactly like them!”

“Yeah…” Lumine nervously chuckled

“Hey, let’s go and see the parade before it’s gone!” Amber advised

“Oh, we were planning on going to a high ledge to get a good view, I wouldn’t want to take a spot from someone.” The blonde maintained

“Nonsense! You’re the Creator’s first vessel, they would want to see you in the front!” Amber declared as she grabbed both yours and Lumine’s hands

The brunette led you both to the crowd. The attempted suggestions from the Traveler fell on deaf ears as Amber pushed you to the front.

There you got a view of the parade traveling down the street, people wearing white and gold throw flowers into the crowd. Performers playing music singing praises to the Creator. In the center there’s a quartet holding up a golden throne. At the top is a figure seated on it. Their body adorned in silk with gold and the finest gems as accents. They held an aura that screamed regal, but what unnerved you the most was that they looked exactly like you.

Everything was eerily identical to you: the length and texture of your hair, the shape of your face, even the blemishes and birthmarks are the same. The only difference were the eyes, the eyes of the so called Creator were cold and looked like the pits to a deep hole that leads to god knows where.

It seemed that they felt you starring at them, they turned their head towards your direction. It was like time had stopped, the sounds of parade faded out as the two of you starred at each other. You saw the look of terror in their eyes. The doppelganger stood up and pointed towards you

“Seize that imposter!!!”
