#out of rose hill (ooc)
Text
By your name (all the stars, rivers, cities)
Akademiya! Zandik is probably my favorite version of Dottore but also one that I really struggle to write. If he's ooc here, close your eyes <3 Not proofread lol out of sight out of mind
Fluff, mutual pining inspired by one of my favorite songs - Твоим именем by Svidaniye
Also on AO3
You prayed he didn't notice the trembling of your hands.
Zandik hadn't spoken a word to you since he opened his leather-bound journal, opting instead to sketch the ruin golem that was nestled between the tall hills of Ardravi Valley. You'd robbed yourself of the privilege of observing him in his element; the close proximity between the two of you made you nervous. It felt dangerous to observe your surroundings, to move your limbs, and so you sat frozen beside him, afraid that Zandik would become suspicious of you.
The reason for your shyness was clear as day: Zandik had never allowed you to come this close before, always rejecting your goodwill with the apprehension of someone who had only ever known cruelty. But now, the blanket you sat on was barely big enough to fit both of you, and Zandik didn't seem to mind; not the way your thighs touched, nor the way your shoulders bumped. You imagined that his soft curls would brush against your cheek if he were to turn his head to the side - and that thought only served to fluster you even more.
How is he so calm, you wondered, when we've never been this close before?
You were frustrated with yourself. So much time had been spent by his side - studying, drinking coffee, wandering the lush expanses of the rainforest - yet you still felt deeply, indescribably nervous. Anxiety sank into your bones and jumbled your mind; you knew why, had known for weeks, but it was impossible to accept. How could you?
Your focus shifted to the Sumeru rose in your hand. Zandik picked it for you on your way to your favorite picnic spot - the hill that overlooked Vimara village - and said the simple words, "for your book". You accepted the flower with a polite "thank you", heart fluttering in your chest when he gave you a faint smile - the sight forever etched in your mind.
It was meant to be pressed between the pages of your favorite book. You didn't have the heart to do it, though; damaging a rose given to you by Zandik felt wrong. Even if his actions carried no underlying implications, it didn't matter. You wanted to keep it. Once you returned to your dorm, you would place this delicate rose in a small vase and ensure it survived a few more days.
You twirled it between your fingers. A little more time and this embarrassment would end. Zandik would forget you behaved this way, engrossed in his research, and you would be the sole person to carry the burden of remembering every second you spent fiddling with the hem of your shirt, too shy to move from the spot beside your friend.
Friend. The word tasted sour in your mouth.
"You're eerily quiet today," said Zandik, "what's the matter?"
This time, you had no choice but to look at him. Zandik had long finished drawing. The journal lay on his lap, open to reveal a surprisingly detailed illustration of the ruin golem across the river. Your breath nearly hitched when your eyes met Zandik's.
"I'm fine. Just thinking."
You felt small under his gaze; he observed you as if you were something interesting - one of those ruin mechanisms that he so adored. You couldn't take it.
You pointed at his journal, "the drawing turned out so well."
"It's a simple sketch, really. But that ruin golem lying ahead... it is the pinnacle of human wisdom. Isn't it awe-inspiring?"
His ruby eyes glimmered with excitement; the sort that only awakened when Zandik spoke about his interests. It warmed your heart - it always did - but this time, the close proximity between your faces was enough to make you blush.
You smiled, "yes, it is."
"I am set to join an investigation team as a trainee dastur soon," Zandik said, "we will conduct field research near that golem. If I'm lucky, we'll even study its interior..."
He gazed ahead, no doubt imagining the discoveries he would make. This was what he lived for - refining his understanding of the world around him, its inner workings. You would never be...
Stupid, stupid thoughts. Weren't you just his friend?
"You'll have to tell me all about it," you said. That was appropriate. That wouldn't raise any questions. Zandik loved to talk about his research and he loved to talk about it with someone who cared. You just so happened to care more than anyone.
Zandik looked at you with newfound delight. It all came back to you then: the proximity between the two of you, the rose in your hand, his smile. How were you supposed to understand any of this? When his arm brushed against yours, his thigh pressed against your own and his lips were only inches away from yours - how would a stranger look at this?
Doesn't matter, you thought, because it means nothing. He's just my friend.
"A pity you can't join."
Not the words you expected to hear from Zandik, of all people. Your brain must have short-circuited, for you couldn't form a single coherent thought as you watched him casually put his journal away like he hadn't just...
Your cheeks tinted red. A cruel voice in your head told you that Zandik would definitely miss you, think of you whenever you weren't by his side.
"Well, a Rtawahist student has no use in field research..." you mumbled, making Zandik huff in amusement.
"It has nothing to do with your darshan."
A thousand different thoughts swarmed in your head. "Then what?"
He didn't give his answer just yet. Zandik chose to inspect you once more as if to fluster you - and though it worked exceedingly well, you couldn't bring yourself to look away, captivated by his boyish charm.
Zandik looked so utterly serene; olive skin bathed in the soft light of the evening sun, soft cyan hair tousled by the warm breeze. The corners of his thin lips were tilted upwards in a roguish smirk, and your poor, frail heart was threatened to give out. It still made no sense to you: how anyone could look at Zandik and see a monster.
He exhaled softly, "your behavior these past few weeks was puzzling. My initial assumption was that you had grown to fear me, just like the others..." Zandik reached out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind your ear, his fingers lingering on your jawline, "but the answer has become a bit clearer now."
Your breath hitched. He knew. He knew the truth, had guessed it long ago, and you - ever the fool - were oblivious all along.
"I'm sorry," you murmured, ashamed beyond compare; for even with the possibility of your feelings being unrequited, you reveled in the way his fingertips warmed your skin.
"Sorry? I never said you had to be sorry."
Zandik sat impossibly close. He cupped your cheek and watched you melt into his touch.
"But it's a bother, isn't it?" You asked, to which Zandik blinked owlishly before chuckling - a saccharine melody that you wanted to keep in your memory forever.
He gazed at you fondly, in a way he never had before, "would I keep spending my time with you if I thought you were a bother?"
"I guess not," you breathed, painfully aware of the tiny distance between the two of you. It felt unreal; you doubted you fully comprehended his words, lost in Zandik's touch as you were.
You could kiss him. The idea baffled you, making the words ring in your head, over and over, I can kiss him, I can kiss him, I can kiss him.
By the looks of it, Zandik had similar thoughts but enough self-control to hold back. You, on the other hand, lacked the courage to go through with your idea, and so you sat basking in his tender touches like you would never feel them again.
You couldn't ask for anything more, anyway.

Love You No Matter What
Daryl Dixon x Transmasc!Reader
Warnings: Slight angst, dysphoria, unsafe binding methods, mentions of transphobia? Reader being insecure, horribly written southern accent, ooc daryl? sorry this is kinda bad
Sorry about this being kinda rushed I just had the idea and wanted to wright smth self indulgent.
The hot Georgia sun beamed down onto the broad shoulders of the man next to you, beads of sweat forming on the flexing muscles of Daryl's arms. Your eyes unfocusing from the fence of a pigpen you two were working on guiding to admire him, they trailed up from his arms to the collar of his worn tank top. The fraying seams giving way to his neck and the edges of his unruly dark hair, all the way up to his stormy eyes.
Slightly shaking your head, you tried to concentrate on the task and hand to get out of this heat as soon as possible, and not on the captivating sight of your boyfriend.
You had harbored feelings for the southern man since the second he pulled you away from a herd of walkers at the quarry camp. He had felt the same way, enthralled by the way your eyes caught the sun rays like stained glass, the small scars that littered you like the words on a novel and, he could have gone on forever, but he would never admit out loud. It hasn't been till the fall of the CDC that you both truly realized your feelings for each other were mutual. From that point on you had an unspoken bond, not a label, it didn't matter in the apocalypse, but you were together, a packaged deal. After sleepless nights on the road, the scare of his brush with death at the farm and whispered conversations in your shared cell in the prison walls, you and Daryl were nothing if not in love. Yet out here in the striking heat of the prison courtyard, a spike of pain from your ribs right under the tightly wound bandages of your chest was a stark reminder of the one thing you were too scared to divulge to the man who knew everything about you.
The fence finally completed, rose to his feet, offering on hand to help you and your accompanying tools up with him.
"Y'all right there?" his southern drawls laced with a hint of worry and you wobbled a bit on your feet.
"It's nothin', just lost my balance a bit" you smiled at him, a bit of a laugh in your voice as you saw the way his bangs stuck to his sweat covered forehead in a heart pattern.
"Good, can't have yeh' gettin sick out here cus of some bastard sun" He placed the tools into his own hands and you two trudged up the hill the cold prison walls. Just imagining the cool stone and water that waited for you there was putting a pep in your step.
Entering your shared cell you flop onto the bed, arms stretched above your head to relieve some of the pressure on your shoulders after the day's work as the taller man beside you goes to lay next to you. Even though you love him with all your heart you still throw the pillow at his face.
“Shower first dirt man”
He shoots you a mock offended look before giving you a kiss anyway, and heading on his way to the showers.
“The things i do for you” You can hear his slightly annoyed tone under his breath as he leaves and you smile.
Now alone in the makeshift room that is the prison cell you close the curtain in front of the barred doors as some sort of privacy. Peeling your shirt off slowly the bandages you had been using since the beginning of the end wound tightly around your chest where now revealed. Angry red marks peaked from tier edges as you tried your best to ignore their stinging. Untying the knot of the bandage gingerly you began to unwrap the cloth, each time relieving a bit of the pressure on your ribs but increasing that feeling of dysphoria uneasiness that settled in your stomach. It was slow, each layer of bandages painstakingly unraveling into your hands. Too focused on the task at hand the heavy footsteps growing closer in the prison hallway reminded you of the unknown to you, until the jerk of the curtain being pulled aside brought you back into reality. Holding the portion of unraveled cloth close to your still bound chess you stared into Daryl’s eyes like a deer in headlights.
His dark hair still dripping slightly onto his threadbare tank top, his eyes raked over you in worry, quickly approaching you even as you began to startle back, there was slight anger in his gaze as well, scaring you even more than he had startled you.
“Y/n wha’ happened” His voice was stern with the slight hint of fear he had used anytime you were injured.
“Did this happen on the last run? We gotta get you to Dr. S” He again walked over to reach for you, not understanding the way you slightly cowered with your arms firmly gripping your upper torso.
“Daryl I'm not, I'm not hurt it ok, dont worry Im fine '' The words stumbled out of your mouth with a tint of fear and uncertainty you'd never used with him.
“You got bandaged coverin half your body can you expect me not to’think your hurt!” His tone raised slightly and you knew he was worried, but you couldn't tell him, you didn't know how.
Your eyes started to wet as you sunk to the floor, you were strong, you always were, but with this it felt like a hit to the back of your knees. You could almost feel the hesitation and concern on his face when he knelt down next to you.
Daryl was never good at comforting people, but seeing you on the verge of tears he was trying his best. Your body stiffened slightly when one of his strong arms wrapped around your back, but you melted into his touch quickly as his rough voice spoke with a softness barely anyone had heard.
“S’alright sweetheart, m’sorry for yellin” Your brain almost couldnt for the words to tell him it wasn't his fault, he had done nothing.
“D, it isn't that” Your voice wavered in the conversation you were starting.
“I really ain't hurt, it's just..” Trailing off your words got caught in your throat, it was almost petrifying. You knew Daryl, you knew he was accepting, that he would do anything for you, but that fear of rejection’s grip was tight on your heart. The confused tone in his voice was evident as he ushered you to go on.
“I wasn't born like you,
like a man”
The words escaped your throat, strangled and painful, shaking at the thought that this could be it, he wouldn't be ok with it, it would be the end of everything you've fought so hard to build together.
“Oh sweetheart” His voice was softer than you anticipated, his calloused hand holding your face up with a touch gentler than a down pillow. Your teary eyes met his stormy blue ones and you could almost see every emotion, every unsend word, every feeling he held onto behind them. Your faces close, he sounded almost like a whisper.
“That ain't stoppin’ me from loving yeah” You could have died happy right there, tears breaching the border of your eyelashes and flowing down your face, your lips formed into a smile, it was ok, he was ok with it, he's not mad.
Daryl's gaze turned to worry at your sudden crying but your hands not matching his own on your face you lips met. The closest you could have been to your hearts being connected the kiss was soft and passionate and you couldn't have thought of a better outcome.
Fun fact of the post:I just got a super cute hellokitty airpod case (^-^)

Not a Star
(Lyney x Reader)
1k word count
You like him but does he
Written by a poor writer, with poor vocab and poor grammar🥀 (basically my first time writing, sorry in advance for any ooc)
Written while listening to this song 🔽 (totally irrelevant)
How beautiful the stars are, at this hour of the night. They glow together, embellishing the dull night sky. But in contrast to the billions of stars accompanying each other in the sky right now, you sat by yourself, on a greeny hill somewhere outside of the Fountain of Lucine.
Before you came to Fontaine, you used to watch the stars too in Sumeru. It reminded you of your faraway home, but now it reminds you of a particular someone. A charming blondhair magician in Fontaine.
Lyney.
How the two of you met is nothing but destined. After all, Lyney is the greatest magician in Fontaine, so it's only a matter of time before you heard about him. You'd attend his magic shows whenever there is one, and somehow you are always starstruck by his magic tricks. It was until the third time you attended his shows in row, that you got picked as a lucky candidate for one of his performances.
It was a disappearing box magic. But instead of asking you to enter the box and make you "disappear", Lyney entered the box with you, much to your surprise. It was the first time the both of you talked, and also the first time you got to see him that up close.
So while Lyney's sister, Lynette, who's also his assistant continues the magic outside the box, Lyney talks to you inside the box.
"Greetings, I'm Lyney, the greatest magician in all Teyvat! I'm sure you've already heard of my name, but may I know your name, gorgeous?" Till this day you still remember the violet eyes of his, filled with confidence and charm.
"If you're feeling nervous, may I?" He offered his hand for you to hold. But for some reasons, the presence of the magician and the warmth radiating from his hand only made your heart beat faster.
You can't recall what happened after that. All you remember is Lyney brought you out of the box while still holding your hand, and a round of applause and cheers were heard from the audiences. After that magic show, Lyney gave you a VIP card that allows you to sit at the front row during his performances, and since then you've always attended his shows, except today.
To be exact, you did attend his show today, but you left in the middle of the performance after seeing a volunteered candidate clinging onto Lyney's arm. It happened all too suddenly that even the magician himself did not expect it. Even though he reacted swiftly after that by stopping them with the reason that it'd affect his magic trick, you couldn't stand to continue watching and left the show. The thought of another person being intimate with Lyney distresses you and you know deep down the reason why.
"Look who I just found, gorgeous. What are you doing here by yourself?" Lyney's voice came from behind. He slowly walks up to you, before sitting down next to you.
"The stars in the sky, they're pretty." You didn't answer his question, and instead focused on the stars still. Lyney noticed it but did not ask.
"They are indeed pretty. But interestingly enough, I know something that's even prettier." You look at him, puzzled. And the next thing you know, Lyney snaps his finger and a rainbow rose appears on your head.
"Your eyes. They're so pretty I always get mesmerized by them- Oh no, I think it's happening again right now!" Lyney puts his hand on his chest as a response, showing the effect of your "mesmerization".
If it were any other day, you would've laughed at his act. The magician always has his ways of cheering you up, but not today. Today, he's the reason why you're down. Seeing you mood remains unchanged, Lyney's expression goes from cheerful to worry.
"The magic show today... you left before it ended. May I know why?" Lyney looks at you, his eyes filled with concern after failing to cheer you up. He's unsure of what has caused your sudden departure, but he knows it has something to do with the magic show.
Should you tell him? You're not sure. Perhaps in his eyes, you're none other than another audience, or what they call "fans". Nothing more, and nothing less. After all, you're just an ordinary person who lives an ordinary life. To think for a second that the great magician in front of you may have liked you... is something you dare not to do.
"The magic show today, it made me realize something. " You finally said.
"You're the great magician Lyney, and I'm just one of your thousands of audiences; Like a sky filled with billions of stars, and I'm just one of them..."
"You're not a star." The magician's words caught you off guard, and for a split second you felt as if your heart is being clenched tightly. So, you were never even a star in his sky, how pathetic of you.
"I see. Sorry for assuming." You stood up and decided that it's time to leave before embarrassing yourself more than you already did.
"Wait... " Lyney quickly got up and held your hand, before realizing what he's doing. But he doesn't let go. He looks at his hand that's holding yours, before turning his gaze to meet your eyes that he's always told you were like topaz, precious, pure, and lovely. As a gentleman like himself, Lyney never touched you without asking for your consent. Instead of his usual gentleman and somewhat flirty self, right now he's being nervous and uncertain, just like how you were when you're in that magic box with him. But that uncertainty soon fades away as he continues talking.
"Apologies, what I mean to say is, you're not a star, because..." He pauses and smiles softly at you.
"When you sat under the stage, no matter how many audiences there are, you always stand out and catch my eye. When you left the stage, no matter how much time has passed, you stay in my mind."
"So I wondered, what are you exactly, inside my heart? But looking at the night sky tonight, I think I found the answer now."
The magician caresses your cheek and looks into your eyes with his violet eyes filled with none other than your reflection.
"You're my moon."
And have always been.

『 Beautiful Nights 』
Characters featured: Saturn Torpeo(@revivemyreverie), Victoria Shard
Pairing: Saturn Torpeo x Victoria Shard
Synopsis: Apparently, Victoria's never seen a fireworks show up close!.... Saturn decides to change that.
Warning(s): Very potentially ooc, why did it take me so long to finish this, I suck at casual dialogue, Saturn must be so ooc oml:?!'?:!' Dawg idk 😭
{ Apologies for any out of character moments }
[ Reblogs > Likes ]
†•°•═════ஓ๑【 ♛ 】๑ஓ═════•°•†
“I have never seen fireworks up close.”
Those words. Out of all the things his girlfriend could've said, those words were what caused Saturn to almost fall off his chair while working on another gadget.
“.... Hah?!” Saturn's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets from how baffled he was by Victoria's words. “Beauty, you're….. You're serious?”
Victoria, who had been staring blankly at Saturn since he almost fell off his chair, nodded in confusion. Was what she said truly so shocking to him?
“Yes…?” She tilted her head, her bewilderment growing with each blink of Saturn's eye. “Is that… Surprising to you?”
Saturn deadpanned at her, before clearing his throat. “Err… Yeah. It kinda did, Brains.”
She hummed. “How come?” she asked curiously, sitting slightly closer to him.
Pursing his lips, Saturn placed his unfinished gadget onto his lap. “Well….. You're, like, rich. Like, really rich. I assumed that seeing things on the front rows was a regular thing for ya.”
Uncrossing and recrossing her legs, Victoria let out a breath. “I suppose,” she shrugged. “Alas, my grandmother deemed fireworks unsafe for me, and I was only able to look at them from a safe distance.”
Saturn grimaced slightly when Victoria mentioned her grandmother. Knowing that woman, ‘safe distance’ was probably miles away from the actual show..
He felt bad for Victoria, in that regard. He knew that she worshiped the ground her grandmother walked on and that she listened to her every word her entire life like it was the word of some God and took it to heart.
And by doing that, she missed out on so many childhood memories.
And having a childhood at all.
Saturn hesitated. He had an idea on how to make up for the lack of an experience Victoria had with fireworks shows…. But he felt unsure if she would be okay with it.
Ultimately, however, he went through with it.
After an unending silence, Saturn cleared his throat, glancing at Victoria from the corner of his eye.
“... Y'know,” he started, well aware that there was no turning back with what he was about to suggest. “I could give you a front-row seat to some fireworks.”
Victoria stifled a laugh. “Are you serious?”
He nodded. “Yeah,” he replied, leaning back against his seat. “I mean, I have my unique magic…”
He proceeded to make a miniature showcase of fireworks from the palm of his hand. “But,” he closed his palm. “I don't think that's enough for ya.”
Her eyebrows rose, lips parting in perplexity. But then a smile came about her face, as she gently moved her hand close to Saturn's face to caress his cheek.
“I'd like that,” she answered. And that was it. She agreed to let him give her the experience her childhood wouldn't allow her to have.
And that made Saturn smile so much more as he and Victoria stared into each other's eyes.
꒷︶ ̇ ̟ ෆ ‿︵‿୨ஓ๑♛๑ஓ୧‿︵‿ ෆ ̟ ̇ ︶꒷
Victoria and Saturn walked along the college campus, both wearing their dorm uniforms.
And at the moment? It was close to midnight.
She let out a huff. “Was it truly necessary to do this at night?”
“Eh,” Saturn shrugged. “Trust me, Sweets, it'd be a lot less fun if it wasn't at this hour~”
“I have several doubts about that.”
“Didn't peg you as much of a goody two shoes, Beauty.”
“I am not.”
“Ehh, whatever helps you sleep at night, Brains.”
She rolled her eyes at that, continuing to follow Saturn as they went to what she assumed to be their destination.
A tree resting atop a hill from the back of the academy.
And underneath the tree, were a bunch of fireworks, ready to be lit up and set the sky ablaze.
“Have a seat, Sweets," Saturn grinned mischievously, gesturing towards the space beneath the tree.
A rare occurrence, Victoria snickered and politely obliged to his request. But not before bowing to him jokingly.
Taking a seat beneath the tree, she smirked and arched a brow. “So,” said Victoria, crossing her arms playfully. “What do you have in store, Sir Torpeo?”
Saturn's grin transitioned into a smirk. “Glad you asked, Lady Beauty and Brains!”
Taking out a lighter, or rather two lighters, Saturn carefully walked up to the first row of fireworks.
He gave her a look. One filled with amusement and awe. Saturn admitted, despite the general newness of their relationship, he couldn't deny one thing for certain.
Victoria was breathtaking. Even in the darkness of the night, she was breathtaking. And with each passing second, he silently wished he could stare into her eyes for as long as possible.
Noticing that he had stared for longer than anticipated, Saturn cleared his throat, his face flushed slightly.
“Want me to light 'em now, Sweets?”
The question had an obvious answer. They were both there to see that show, regardless of the punishments they'd face from Crowley and his ignorance.
Yet, Victoria let out an audible giggle, amused by his question. And she gave him that nod, he had been anticipating for the whole night.
Checking his watch, Saturn took a deep breath.
In three….. Two…..
He lit them up, setting them ablaze as they reached for the stars and sparkled in the night sky.
One.
And as mesmerized as Saturn may have been, he wasn't there to watch the fireworks. He was there for her reaction.
And as he had hoped, it was oh so worth it.
Her lips parted, eyes slightly wide in amazement as the fireworks colored the darkness of the night sky.
There was something about it. About her expression, and the way she was utterly mesmerized the same way he was.
Sitting down next to her, he looked up at the fireworks as well.
“Beautiful,” he mumbled, before raising the volume of his voice for her to hear him. “Beautiful, ain't they?”
Victoria's trance was put to rest, as she sent Saturn a prolonging gaze.
He's….. She couldn't find the right words to describe him. He's…
“.... Earth to Victoria?” Saturn tilted his head. “You okay, Beauty?”
….. I'm not the Beauty here, Saturn.
Was what she thought.
But as she remembered his question, she smiled.
Victoria leaned her head over the top of Saturn's, and let out a breath.
“..... They are. So beautiful, and lovely, indeed.”

CHAPTER 2
It was simple to conclude that Xuan Ji conceals her eyes from the public's view after learning a sizable amount of ancient cultivation book spoilers from her acquaintances. That was safer, but how can Yuhong see with the blindfold on? She struggles with olfactory perception!
A new message appeared on the blue screen when it reappeared.
【xᴜᴀɴ ᴊɪ ʜᴀs ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʙɪʟɪᴛʏ ᴛᴏ sᴇᴇ, ᴇᴠᴇɴ ɪғ ʜᴇʀ ʟɪɢʜᴛ sᴏᴜʀᴄᴇ ɪs ʙʟᴏᴄᴋᴇᴅ. ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴜsᴇʀ ɪs ʀᴇɪɴᴄᴀʀɴᴀᴛᴇᴅ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪs ʙᴏᴅʏ, ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴀᴜᴛᴏᴍᴀᴄɪᴀʟʟʏ ʀᴇᴄɪᴇᴠᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ sᴋɪʟʟ, sᴏ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ's ɴᴏ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ ᴜsᴇʀ ᴛᴏ ᴡᴏʀʀʏ】
That was the last message she received before the system once more abandoned her.
[Yuhong's name will be changed to Xuan Ji in the chapters to follow]
When Xuan Ji turned to look, she saw Xiyin in the halted state. After turning to face Xiyin and pausing in front of her, Xuan Ji giggled to herself while waving her palm in front of her eyes. She simply was unable to control her urges.
Xiyin's form suddenly shifted, encircling her with an arm.
What the hell, system? You ought to have at least forewarned me!
Given that Xiyin didn't seem to be letting go of her, Xuan Ji wasn't sure what to do.
"A-Ji jie jie, how are you doing? Do you need some chicken soup, please? The soft voice of Xiyin reached Xuan Ji.
Unsure of how to respond, Xuan Ji pursed her lips before gently nudging Xiyin away from her. In answer, Xiyin bow her head down and said, "A-yin should go, A-yin hopes that jiejie will have a good rest." It appears that Xiyin recognized Xuan Ji's distress.
Xiyin just stated that before exiting the room, leaving Xuan Ji by herself with her thoughts.
She wasn't acting ooc, right? The system didn't popped out with a 'ooc' or a deduction point warning, which means she did everything correct. Xuan Ji sighed to herself, she would had feel pity for Xiyin and Xiyin's unfortunate fate, but she knew better to care about her own devastating destined defeat rather than someone's.
Xuan gazed around the area before looking back at the door that Xiyin left in, not sure if she should left the room as well or look around first. Looking around the room and gathering information would be the best option. She glance through the wooden cabinets, opening every single one of them, all of them were empty. She checked beneath the pillows, still nothing.
If she didn't knew any better, she would had assumed that this place got robbed.
Guess, she had no choice but to go outside as well. She opened the seemly worn-down door to be greeted by a scenery of a hills and mountains. It appears that she currently is in a village, crowds of people dressed in rags walking back and forth. She saw few people, to which she assumed homeless people, laying on the ground with bowls of water.
She stood there for awhile, taking in everything she sees before she got bumped into by a kid. The kid said nothing, no apologies whatsoever, and quickly ran off. This quickly ruined Xuan's mood, as a irk-mark appears on her forehead before it slowly fades away.
She shouldn't allow a kid to ruined her mood. Mhm, she knew better than to allow such a thing to happen.
A familiar figure stood next to a hairpin stand. The familiar female stares at a certain beautiful golden hairpin. There is a tiny pink rose decoration on the hairpin with it's surrounded with pearls on the side. It's sharp tip, could be used as a weapon or a certain something to keep the hair pin in place.
"This would certainly matches jiejie's style! Sir, how much for this hairpin?" Xiyin pointed toward a hairpin that she was previously staring at. Xiyin took out 3 taels of silver, handing it toward the seller in exchange for the hairpin.
Almost as if fate decided to put Xuan Ji in a difficult position, Xiyin immediately spotted Xuan Ji the moment she turn her head around.
"Jiejie, look at what I bought for you!" Xiyin casually waved her, with the golden hairpin on the hand that was waving her with.

From @kelandrin ~ Here is what I wrote about Kel and Cassian’s romance set in act two ❤️ I hope you like it! It isn’t edited so I am sorry in advance. Also sorry if Cassian is OOC any Dx
New Gods
Regardless, he found Cassian at the top of the hill, legs pulled up to their chest as they looked out at the darkness. Their only companion was a single torch, flickering in the still air.
“You’re missing dinner.” Kel noticed a movement in Cassian’s shoulders. They didn’t look back at him but they were listening.
Kelandrin walked onto the other side of Cassian from the torch and looked down. They couldn’t meet his eyes.
“I’m sorry,” they whispered. “It really isn’t like me to be so pitiful.”
“I agree,” Kel replied, lowering himself to the ground. “You’ve been off for some time.”
Cassian sucked in a sharp breath. Kelandrin could sense their fear though the tadpole, jumbling their thoughts. Then they finally spoke.
“My goddess is cross with me. Lolth.” Cassian added her name as if Kel needed a reminder. “I haven’t been as faithful as I should be, haven’t been doing her will. All I want is to be able to heal, to help you, but I can’t even do that because I have let her down. I feel so worthless…”
“Look at me,” Kelandrin reached out, cupping Cassian’s cheek. He turned their face towards them. Their brow was knitted tight and their lips curved down. There was a pained expression in their eyes and all Kel wanted was to swallow them, and their pain, whole.
“Loyalty cannot be exchangeless. You waste yours on her. Worse yet, you waste your fear on her. If she cannot offer you the things you want, then what good is remaining by her side?” Kelandrin was surprised by how soft his voice was. He had meant it to come out firm, not the whisper that it was. “If you cannot rely on her, rely on me instead. I may not be capable of granting you the gift of healing. I can only give you what I know: the violence and the death. But unlike Lolth, I won’t abandon you. If you must have a god, I will find you one worthy of your loyalty.”
Kelandrin let his hand fall away. He made his offer. Whether or not Cassian accepted was up to them now. Their pupils shook, searching Kel’s eyes for deception. But Kel did not deceive. He meant every word because there was no need to lie.
Finally, Cassian rose to their feet. Kelandrin followed suit.
“I’ve been acting too precious. I was a weak hearted child and I seem to have held onto that still.” Their words were stronger now, resolved. “I think you’re right. There is little point in continuing like this, weeping because an unloving goddess will not spare me attention.”
Cassian looped their arms around Kel’s neck, pulling them down into a kiss. It was all tongue and teeth, like they were devouring each other. When the pair parted, they were breathless but the hunger remained in their eyes.
“I think I’ll keep you around,” Cassian’s lips curled up into a coy smile. “If you’ll have me, I’ll have you.”
Kel caught himself smiling back. “Then you’re mine and I am yours.”
OH MY GOD I LOVE IT!?!! They’re so good! Thank you so much. I ship them so much! You did so good too
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#bg3 tav#bg3 durge#Cassian and Kelandrin are just so good for each other in the worst possible ways#you wrote it so well too#Cassian wasn’t ooc or anything#Cassian and Kel are just going to live the most evil life together

[IC] Foreword
I dare not truly call this a foreword; as this is not a true guide but a grimoire - a book of hands-on learning and years of dedication to the natural world. These are merely the musings of a daughter of the Wilds, someone who spent years in the woods before I learned of my heritage.
Like most Kul Tirans I initially learned at the apron hem of my mother, until my journeys brought me to Northrend where I learned on my own after misfortune struck my father and I. The Furbolg of Grizzly Hills treated me like a curiosity, yes, but in their own way they taught me so much.
I haven't a lot to say, being a woman of few words when it comes to speaking of myself; but I hope you find some snippet of knowledge within this growing tome useful to you one day, and that you keep this old knowledge of the world alive.
Lady Keely Briar-Rose Marlfox
'Kee'
[OOC] Foreword & Thanks
Thank you for checking out my little blog. This is written with the magic of Greaves' Herbal Compendium in mind; an invaluable resource that many roleplayers have used over the years. So thank you, Greaves, and Riley, and now Crowxar who has taken over that project, for giving us such a wonderful way to explore the world through your minds eyes.
This 'grimoire' however is written from a much different mind; from the perspective of a gremlin of a Worgen woman, who suffered so much tragedy and learned much of what she knows from the beasts of the wild and the untamed beings of Azeroth.
A first-hand account of her personal experiences, meant to be passed down to her friends, her children, and her bloodline when one day she passes on to the boughs of Tirna Achiad.
This work is fiction, and as such should be taken with a grain of salt and your own perspective; or that of your character's. It is all my own work unless credited, as it will be when or if others have given their consent to include their headcanon and theories.
So thank you, once again,
ElixirCryptid

------
timeline: 1989 to in storyline present 1993
------
at a young age aiden was forced into childhood modeling, and began signing at the age of 9 without any lessons. she began acting at the age of 11, and retired from that at the age of 19.
at 20 she met her current partner -- while dabbling and battling an extensive addiction to dope.
at nearly 21, her now partner and her separated -- reconnecting while in her first bout at rehab. coincidentally they were at the same center in hidden hills, californa.
aiden was forced into rehab after her home in maibu burnt to the ground during a series of severe fires that plagued the area, shortly after the fire where she escaped without any harm, the married her now ex husband brayden -- the relationship lated 3.5 months, due to her continued use of smack, and over disdain for her then partner. she had truly never let her feelings for layne die, and she mostly married brayden out of complacency as they too, had extensive history.
after signing off on her divorce papers, she recorded two tracks, which have never been played live. "bad mood" and "he's not him". in the midst of her session she overdosed and was forced into a rehab facility where she completed 60 days in patient, where her and layne reconnected.
-----
the pair, layne and aiden reconnected and completed their time together, being released only 30 days ago. they were surprised to realize they were on the same tour bill for lollapalooza 1993 and have been prepping for the tour for the last three weeks.
they are set to start in vancouver within the coming days.
layne and aiden have had time to spend alone together, with supervised visits of course. the one drawback of label control. finally, they are on the road to the first show in vancouver bc, where they will be preforming, but also sharing a sober bus.
aiden has extreme anxiety to play a saturated rock festival as a pop artist, and has prepared a list of past and new songs to play, as an opener for her beloved boyfriend's four piece band alice in chains from seattle.
overall, aiden is thrilled to have a safe sober space to retire to with her partner as both her and layne are dreading this commitment.
-----
ooc note: this is my original character, that i have written since 2011.
i have NO open connections
this is a fxm storyline i write privately with layne's writer.
IF roles become open i will make an edit here
i have been rping since 2006 - please, do not fuck with me.
i am not claiming to be my muse, i simply face her.
our timeline is 1993
this blog was created to see what tumblr had to offer as far as ocxoc content. if you are not part of a grunge rp, you are most likely not welcome. this is a specific nice and a lot of information has to be known and known well.
i was previously, maddie/maddison dolce. so if you know who that is, yes i'm back.
this is for FUN and layne's writer and i are following a specific timeline.
i WILL follow other oc's back if i feel a connection
please don't count on it.
tags that are ooc will be tagged as such.
tia.

roses and lamp grass (hc scenario)
penpal: stay tuned for your request for kaeya ! hope this is to your liking :DD
prompt: cancer the crab, flower-injury soulmate au
pairing/s: diluc x gn!reader
sypnosis: whenever you stare at the flowers that are all over your body, you often joked to your peers about how your soulmate is your knight in shining armor who always has injuries from every fight they get. who knew that your soulmate is a used-to-be-knight in black coat?
include/s: spoilers to diluc’s story quest, ooc!diluc (?), mentions of injuries, and one corny line (im not sorry)
-> you hate strolling at night.
-> when it comes to gathering ingredients, you'd rather let one of the delivery men bring them in the mornings. however, due to the lack of recipes that needs lamp grass, you never bothered ordering the flowers.
-> so why gather lamp grasses? it was simple,
-> tomorrow is diluc ragnvindr's birthday.
-> although it's agreeable that the man is a busy one, he always visits your restaurant once in a week to buy a random meal for take-out and leave. sometimes if the food takes a while, you'd try to make conversations with the man, who'd respond shortly but enough for you to carry on.
-> once you found out tomorrow is his birthday from a certain captain who strolled in for his skewers, you immediately started planning on getting ingredients for a dish that you think he'd like: "pile 'em up."
-> even though you hated strolling at night, you wanted to do this just for the man.
-> you would've gone to flora's shop for the lamp grasses– or to the area near the city that has loads of them. unfortunately, thanks to a certain knight for getting them all, you had no choice but to go somewhere else.
-> why do lamp grasses have to be so far away from the city grounds?
-> your first stop is galesong hill, whereas harris, the chef from the camp near dragonspine, warned you about nearby hilichurls lurking to which you took note of his warning and quietly thank him before strolling your way to where the lamp grasses resides.
-> if only you were more careful.
-> you were this close to pass through the hilichurls' watchful eyes, but then you accidentally stepped on a branch that made a noise that's louder than you intended, now noticing how it caught their attention.
-> thankfully though, before any of the vicious creatures could lay a hand on you, you immediately heard rushed footsteps, followed by a loud "time for.. RETRIBUTION!" and a what looked like a phoenix passing through you, causing your eyes to widen in surprise.
-> in a blink of an eye, the hilichurls have all disappeared, leaving you alone with your savior.
-> you turn around to look at the person who saved you, only to see a red-haired man who oddly looks the same as the man you're making a gift for.
-> before you could speak though, the masked man immediately walk away from your direction much to your dismay.
"i would like to thank you for helping me," you said, trying to catch up with the red-haired man. "if it weren't for you saving my life, i would be afraid of what will happen to my restaurant."
"you shouldn't follow me lest you want to encounter more hilichurls." he retorts, not glancing back at you as he continues to head forward.
"i know, i know, but.. could you accompany me for a while first? i'm actually not going back to the city–"
"why?"
"..because i'm collecting ingredients."
"at night?"
"lamp grasses are easier to find when it's nighttime."
"shouldn't that be a delivery man's job?"
"yeah but.. i don't usually order lamp grasses for my restaurant. this one is just for a dear friend of mine, if you'd like to know." you explain with an awkward laugh, looking around the area to find lamp grass.
"...that friend must be a close one." he comments.
you nodded slowly. "i wouldn't consider him as a close friend since.. i don't exactly know him at all. i just want to give him a birthday gift since he's a regular customer of mine and all."
the man stops his tracks, causing you to stop as well in confusion. he then sighs, looking at you with a defeated look on his face. "alright, i'll company you in getting them."
you smile gratefully at him. "thank you,"
as soon as the both of you arrived back at where you were before, you immediately made a bee-line for the nearby lamp grasses, picking every single one and put them in your pouch.
"..why are you getting so many of them?" he asks, watching you walking around the area for more lamp grasses. "from all the dishes i know of, two would need only one."
"well if i had to be honest," you hesitated for a moment, standing up from the ground as you place one last lamp grass in your bag. "i honestly haven't cooked this dish for a long time now so... i can't exactly be determined if the first try would be good."
you then walk towards him with a satisfied look on your face. "i think i have enough now. thank you again."
he gave you a nod. "it's no problem.. i can accompany you back to the city–"
"you've already done enough, kind sir." you interrupted, patting his shoulder before walking towards the path. "you can go back doing... whatever you were doing before you saw me. i can go back on my own so have a good night!
the man chuckles, shaking his head to himself before he starts to follow you. "even if you refuse, i'm still going with you. besides, i'm going to the same route as you."
you shrug the man off and continue to walk down the pathway. "whatever makes you rest well, i suppose."
as the two of you walk down the path together, you couldn't help but notice how although your mysterious savior is similar to diluc, he seems more.. casual and straightforward, unlike the other– who's rather more aloof and quiet.
to cut off the awkward silence between you two, you suddenly asked him a question. "forgive me if i'm invading your privacy or anything but uhm, have you found your soulmate yet?"
"no. i never bothered to since.. i never have enough time to find them." he responds hesitantly. "what about you? have you found yours already?"
you shook your head. "not exactly. i haven't seen anyone in the city who has the same tattoos as mine. i would've look for them around the nation if i had the chance but i don't have enough time either."
"you could show me one of your tattoos. i'll see if i can remember anyone i've met who has the same ones as yours." he suggests, causing your eyes to widen at the man. "really? you'd do that?" you asked.
"sure. though, i can't promise you that i'll know."
you thought about it for a moment before you stop your tracks, rolling up one of your sleeves to find the tattoo that was imprinted on your arm. "this one's the recent one i know so far." you explain, not noticing how the man's eyes widens behind his mask at the sight of your tattoo. "is it familiar to you?"
you watched as diluc– or rather, the man, stares at your tattoo for a concerning amount of time, not a single word came out from his mouth. did your tattoo perhaps bring a terrible memory to him? you hope not.
"...uhm, hello?" you call out, rolling back down your sleeve as you look at your friend in concern. "...sir?"
the man blinked a few times before removing his coat, causing you to furrow your eyebrows. "i... i might sound crazy or jumping to conclusions but i have an injury that's in the same shape and place as the one on your tattoo." he spoke up, trying to roll up his gray sleeve to show you. your eyes slightly widens when you saw his injury.
is this a dream?
"...can you... can you show me your flower tattoo?" you ask, hoping to barbatos that the man isn't simply jumping to conclusions and that his assumptions are indeed correct.
without another question, the man showed you his other arm, which has the exact flower tattoo as yours along with your scar that you got from burning yourself being in the same place as the tattoo.
"...you're... you're my soulmate?" you asked.
he then removes his mask, showing you that he is indeed diluc. "i.. i suppose so."
the two of you stared at each other in shocked for a moment, not knowing what to do after finding out this huge discovery.
perhaps strolling around at night isn't so bad than you thought it would be.
extra:
"oh you're back," you said, watching as your soulmate enters your closed restaurant after an hour. "how's uhm.. how's your patrol?"
diluc lightly smiles, removing his mask and putting it by the counter. "surprisingly.. everything's clear for now." he answers, looking at you with a nervous look on his face. "how's your.. recipe for this friend of yours?"
you look at the time, noticing how it's now 00:00 (12:00). just in time, you thought to yourself.
"the first attempt went badly," you said, heading towards the kitchen to retrieve the meal. "but on the bright side, the second attempt went well and you're just in time!"
he raises an eyebrow in confusion. "am i going to taste it for you?" he asks.
"yes, because this meal is actually for you." you said, walking back to the counter with the newly cooked meal and place it in front of the red-haired man. "this is my gift to you. happy birthday, diluc."
"...is this supposed to be pile 'em up?"
you nodded. "yep, but i decided to put some of my touches there- that's why it looks different, if you're wondering."
you watched as the man picks up his utensils and takes a slice of the meal, putting it in his mouth to taste it.
"...not bad," he comments, humming in satisfaction as he takes another bite much to your delight. "it's really good."
you sigh in relief, putting your apron aside as you watch your man continue to eat the meal. "if i ever put this meal in my restaurant, i'd call it "once upon a time in mondstadt." you said.
he chuckles in amusement. "why the name, if i may ask?"
"cause one of the ingredients led me to my happily ever after."

kisses . genshin impact (pt. 2)
> summary: places the genshin boys kiss you other than the lips (ft. bennett, chongyun, razor, xiao, xingqiu, zhongli)
> content: fluff , gn!reader , ooc(?idk)
here’s part one!
# BENNETT
where: your palm!
why: this man does not know how to stfu, so when you have to forcefully shush him, your palm is the best spot for his lips to kiss.
“It’s awfully quiet today,” you murmured as you turned on your heels, hearing the whirlwind of a boy coming your way. He nearly tumbled—so close to crashing at your feet but fortunately caught himself before he could hit the ground. He stood up straight, dusting his clothes with a breathy laugh before yelping out a pained, “Ow!”
“What happened?” You ask as you reach out to cup his face, checking his head and skin for any injuries.
The male chuckled with a closed eyed smile, “I got hit by a rock!” His voice echoed within the city, making you slightly cringe when your ears ached. He was quick to go off on a tangent, babbling about some nonsense that made you even more confused than before.
“Bennett,” you call out to grasp his attention. The moment he turned your way, you slapped a hand over his mouth with an amused smile. “I know you’re excited and want to talk, but we should move away from the Knights of Favonius headquarters before Captain Kaeya kills us.”
He kissed your palm gently, eliciting a ticklish sensation in your hand that made you pull away. Before you could do anything about his sneaky kisses, he grabbed your hand and began dragging you away, talking about some adventure team he was putting together.
# CHONGYUN
where: your shoulders!
why: he likes the smoothness of your shoulder when he lays down behind you and can rest easily without being judged.
The bedroom door creaked open to reveal the blue haired male who stood in the doorway with a pensive look on his face. Upon seeing you lying in your shared bed, he exhaled deeply and you could practically see relief wash over is features. “[y/n],” he breathed out as he shuffled into the room, scurrying over the bed to climb onto the silk sheets and lay himself in the spot behind you.
He wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling your body into his chest as gently as possible. As hesitant as he was, he was way too tired to be reluctant about holding you even thought you clearly felt the same need for touch as him. “’m so tired.”
After a long day of training, he was exhausted and was in desperate need of your touch in order to replenish the energy he had depleted earlier that day. It was only much better now that you were both living together and were able to cuddle as much as needed after work.
“Welcome home, my love.”
He buried his face in the crook of your neck, doing his absolute best to push away the strong emotions that burned inside of his heart. He refused to flare-up in front of you ever again, but with you unknowingly doing things to stir him up, he was always struggling to keep calm.
Peppering kisses along your shoulders, you felt a shiver run down your spine at the cold sensation of his lips on your skin. It was a blissful feeling, warming up your heart with love despite how cold his body truly was. Too beautiful.
# RAZOR
where: your eyelids!
why: this one may sound weird but he just gets curious when he keeps watch and tends to do it without a thought.
Razor stood tall at the peak of the mountain that you both temporarily resided on. His chin was held high, chest puffed out with a sense of responsibility flowing through his veins at the thought of watching over you while you slept to keep you out of harms way. It wasn’t necessarily a demanding duty but for you, it meant a thousand times more than it usually would have.
The boy approached your sleeping body. You were rested on the ground under his jacket that barely shielded you from the cold weather tonight presented to you both. He gently tugged his jacket further up your body, covering your arm that had been slightly exposed.
You were cute like this, sleeping so peacefully with so much trust in the guy who could barely communicate yet you loved him so much. It was amazing.
Subconsciously, he bent down and placed a chaste kiss on your eyelid. You stirred in your sleep, forcing him to jolt away in surprise before settling when you murmured something sleepily, smiled and then relaxed. Your behavior was new to him and yet, it brought so many different feelings into his heart. Unknowing to you, he smiled genuinely and patted your head gently.
“You rest. I keep watch.”
# XIAO
where: your forehead!
why: he just thinks it is less embarrassing than trying to kiss you on the lips openly + less chances of him getting denied the kiss.
His expression was rather dark as you stood in front of one another. It looked like he was thinking deeply about something but you brushed it off, assuming it was just his way of sulking since you two were about to split for the night.
“I packed you some Almond Tofu, so you can eat some on your way back. I also got you a jacket to wear since it might be a little cold in the evening. I know you don’t sleep and stuff, so I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” Your rambling about his well-being wasn’t new to him, which is why he didn’t interrupt you. He watched with the same dark expression that seemed scary but if you looked closely, you would see just how soft those eyes had become after spending so much time with a “mere human” like you.
Grasping you by the back of you head, he pulled you forward and leaned in briskly, kissing your forehead softly before pulling away and turning around. You barely had a second to recover as he adjusted his mask on his face and disappeared from your sight, muttering nothing but a simple, “be careful.”
You smiled at the tingling sensation on you skin, knowing he had only escaped to avoid feeling any type of emotion after kissing you so brazenly. As mean as Xiao seemed, he really was a simpleton with you.
# XINGQIU
where: the back of your hand!
why: do i have to explain?
“Xingqiu, where are we going?” You asked with a tired smile on your lips as you allowed yourself to be dragged along this upward slope with no set destination in mind. The boy simply laughed, pulling you faster until you were nearly tripping over your own feet. By the time you had planned to complain once more, he came to an abrupt stop and you almost bumped into his body if it wasn’t for your quick senses. “Where are we?”
“Take a look, my liege. Quite fascinating, is it not?” He said as he took a seat on the branch perched on the top of the hill, big enough for the two of them to sit on. You plopped beside him, admiring the sun that was beginning to set while Xingqiu opened a book to the page he had left off on.
“My life seems fulfilled when I am sat here with a book in my hands and you by my side. Don’t you agree?” HIs words were sincere, surprisingly void of that mischievous tone he usually had these days.
“I’m not particularly fond of books like you, but I am extremely fond of you. So, yes, I do agree.” You said with a cheesy smile, leaning in his direction. The boy abruptly stood up, and you rose an eyebrow in confusion.
Bending his body slightly, he held out his hand to you until you placed yours on top of his. Once you did so, he pressed his lips to the back of your hand and flashed you an easy smile. “With this, I owe my life to you, my liege. A vow much greater than marriage.”
# ZHONGLI
where: your lips!
why: I legit couldn’t think of a non-lips spot so i gave up. mans just likes the way your lips taste like his favorite wine. two good things.
He admired his cup with bright eyes, absolute taken with the way it tasted on his tongue and hadn’t changed in all these years. It was a beautiful emotion that was a mixture of happiness and nostalgia, plus a bit of romance considering he was here with the one he loved.
“What do you think?” Zhongli asked, eyes full of curiosity as he turned in your direction. You hadn’t said anything all night and he assumed you weren’t enjoying the wine he had presented to you so happily.
On contrary, it was way too good to be wasted, so you chose to drink it slowly in order to savor the beautiful taste that somehow reminded you of Zhongli himself. Maybe it was because he talked about this wine too much.
“It tastes good,” you murmur, leaning into his side to gain a bit of warmth from the male who shared the emotion, leaning into your touch.
You glanced up at him, smiling softly when you already saw his eyes on you. “Stop staring so impolitely. Where are your manners?” You asked jokingly, giggling softly when Zhongli looked down and chuckled.
Leaning in, he cupped your cheek and smashed your lips together. He could taste the Osmanthus wine on you and it nearly made him melt into the kiss that he had long suppressed.
When he pulled away, a small smile settled into his lips, satisfaction in his eyes. “Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember.”
a/n: finally, I finished it. im going to bed now uhhdhfjf (idk if i’ll ever do other characters but we’ll see)
