zhongli madoka au....hhh🤲

I really love homura as a character and adding zhongli into the mix is,, chef's kiss. the idea of having zhongli mentally tear himself apart w the moral dilemma of either a.) making sure s/o is equally happy and safe or b.) making sure that they are 100% happy no matter what even if the are upset. it reminds me of those "I dont care if youre upset, I'll do whatever it takes for you to live as long as possible because if I lose you then I lose myself too" kind of Yandere AUs if you get what I mean ? I'd like to think of the other magical girls being the adepti or his archon friends, people who he knew and loved for his whole life but had to watch die in the end,, so when he meets s/o who is just a normal human and learns that they've always wanted to fight as an adepti or archon he has to do everything he can to crush their dreams for their safety,,, he says and thinks it truly is for their safety but doesn't realize until the end that it's all for his own selfishness of wanting someone to have because fate wouldn't allow him to have his friends

I gotta watch rebellion again hhh :y

since i know dark content bothers some of my followers and it’s never rlly been brought up on this blog, i’d like to begin this with: i do not write yandere bc i am a sfw blog. :)

ah i wasn’t thinking of it in a yandere sense, but i guess in a way homura is a yandere if u really squint ??? but i believe that’s detrimental to her character to lump her in with characters like yuno gasai and such? cuz ultimately i don’t think she wants to do any of that. i don’t think she wants to isolate madoka or make her sad in the series, but she has to in rebellion out of this... innate compulsion thats arrived after literally about 100 times of repeating the same month over and over in order to save this girl. like yes, madoka broke the cycle, but homura doesn’t get her wish, which was to have madoka just... be a normal girl. idk. i think abt this series too much. it’s my favorite of all time. imho homura isn’t a yandere. i would do what she did if i repeated the same month almost 100 times trying to save a girl, only for the girl to “technically” be saved yet you’re the only person on the planet that remembers who she is and the only proof you have that she existed are some ribbons lol.

anyways. zhongli madoka au. the one i have planned out isnt a yandere fic at all. zhongli’s fixated solely on upholding his contract. if there’s romantic feelings involved, whatever, but at the end of the day, what matters is that he upholds the promise he made to the reader. adepti will be the other magical girls and the reader themselves will be an adepti. zhongli’s already massively fucking up his life by initiating the time loops — i can’t possibly see him doing this for a mortal. the gods view mortals as frailer and weaker (especially in xiao’s voicelines). but if it’s an adepti that helped form morax into zhongli..? i could see him throwing everything away into helping the reader.
