house wife reader pt 3!!! (house wife annon atp)

i wanna expand on shenhe and house wife reader bc i lost my 50/50 for her again

shenhe and housewife reader!!, Shenhe would be troubled to know if her house wife could leave her in an instance. Just so she knows you wont leave her she sometimes bends you over the kitchen counter ripping a hole in her favourite suit to let out her boner to fuck you desperately. She needs to cum in you leave some mark inside you so you get the hint.

She always cums raw inside she always wants your around so if you get an accidentital conception she’ll freak out at first and be confused since are you gonna leave? are you gonna scream at her? But turns out your making a new life with her guess her house wife really is something. she’ll happily learn abt parenting with you just for the slight mistake she caused from her own insecurities

beidou and her house wife reader is really something sometimes you beg along to go into going on the sea trips with her since you cant handle being lonely she reluctantly agrees sometimes but all you can do is sit in her cabin all day

at one point she drank too much and stumbled into the cabin, Full of lust she tears both your clothing off. she first gets you to suck her off getting her already to penetrate your cunt since you both knew how desperate you were for eachother you both just couldnt fuck due to the crew

but i know definetly they can hear that night of intamacy

lets also talk abt the inazuman girls more mainly miko rn

Yae miko is a very busy cunning woman who can only afford to give half of her time to you but that doesnt mean shes highly possesive over you, leaving condoms filled with her cum in your shared bedroom sometimes from how much she wishes she could be there for her house wife or while at night she wants you to rut against her cock and gets hard at the thought of it. All she can do now is rut against your cunt desperatly not trying to wake you up since she knows how hard her house wife works<3

untill she couldnt take it anymore she needed you she needed your tight cunt around her cock

she softly wakes up that night opening your thighs leaving cute bike marks and hickeys with her fangs as a sense of ownership before her buldge from her night suit is finally clear she pulls down her pants down enough for her semi hard cock to appear before slowly inserting the first few inchs

she was intoxicaited and drugged by how good you felt around her cock spasming already to cum inside but she knew she had to make it special she slowly started to join your hips and disattaxh them but honestly she got too desperate and started pouding away till you woke up

“go back to sleep, mommy’s g’nna make you feel real good princess” you knew you couldnt argue with your wife you cook and clean for her everyday and serve her as much as you could

honestly you thought you fsiled as a wife to have theese urges inside of you but turns out your wife was just as desperate as you <3

Dude I lost my 50/50 on her weapon I feel your pain.

Warnings: Smut written by a minor, possessive tendencies (Shenhe, Miko kinda), creampies (Shenhe), mention of pregnancy(Shenhe), power dynamics (Beidou), submission (Beidou), crying (Beidou), blowjob (Beidou), Riding (Beidou), Somno (Miko),

Links to pt1, pt2, & pt3

She’s so out of touch with society that sometimes she’ll get a bit insecure. Wouldn’t you rather want someone who has more knowledge about modern city life? Someone who can treat you to all the things Liyue has to offer? But she doesn’t let these thoughts get the better of her, not when she can do something about it. And that something is you, when she fucks your brains out. Suit be damned, a thin piece of material won’t get in the way of sex. She’s obsessed with the way her cum drips out of you when your pussy gets full of her. She finds it so incredibly hot how you’ve taken so much of her that the only place left for her cum to go is to drip out.

And it’s this same obsession that lead her to this accidental conception. In her time spent with Chongyun, she’s learned a bit or two about taking care of “kids”. And with the help of Cloud Retainer, she’ll try her best to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother.

A small part of her loves it. You’re “ruined” for anyone else. Not that she’s forcing you to stay with her after, but now your lives are intertwined in ways she didn’t anticipate. Her hand holds yours as she pounds away at you during another late night. You’re already carrying her child, so might as well cum inside again.

As much as she loves having you on board, she can’t always protect you from the dangers out at sea. Beidou feels much more comfortable with you safe and sound on land, even though it makes her miss you like crazy. There isn’t much you can do without the proper training needed to be apart of either the Shield or Spear groups so there isn’t a lot to do to pass the hours. There’s drinking of course, and on one of those nights you stop at a few glasses to go back into the cabin.

When she stumbles in with that look in her eye you know what’s about to happen. But here’s the fun part: when she’s drunk, she’s a lot more sensitive. You found this out long before you boarded. And ever since, with Beidou’s consent of course, you use that to your full advantage.

She has the faintest bit of pre-cum leaking out of her cock. You coo at how sensitive she is, aren’t you just so needy? You’ll hold the tip gently in your hand, softly wrapping your hand around it as you guide it towards your mouth. The sound of her whimpers fills your ears as she buckles greedily into you.

“Been waiting so long to have you like this. Damn the crew if they hear us, I need you”

She’s on the verge of tears as you suck her cock almost all the way. Her hand shakily grip the back of your head; weakly helping you bob your head up and down while massaging her balls for leverage. You’re usually the louder once, but when Beidou’s drunk, her breathy moans are hard to conceal.

Her cock will twitch inside your throat. When her eyebrows crease in pleasure and concentration, she paints your throat white with her cum. When you release your mouth from her cock, with a thin string of saliva connecting the two, you replace your mouth with your cunt as you shift to sit on Beidou’s lap.

She tends to sober up quickly after you suck her off, but she’s too overwhelmed to take full control. She’s tends to be the one to dominate and always loves the power trip. When she’s like this for you, she has no qualms over giving the reins to you.

Straddle her and hope there’s no noise complaints the next day.

Miko hates how she can get caught up in her work so easily. It happens a lot more than she would like since there’s always so much to be done. You’re always on her mind however. The image of your tired body cuddled in her arms, or tending to the various chores you assist with, or having your body spread out for her on the sheets. Sometimes in her office she would take her cock out and stroke it until she came. Sure it was a mess to clean up, but she desperately needed the stress relief.

Miko is mindful of your energy. No matter how much she wants it, she doesn’t want to over-exhaust your poor body. And that was how she started to bring up somno with you. You would get your much needed rest, and she would get her much needed release. She’s only settled with grinding but lately she’s been craving more.

Those first few inches felt like heaven. It feels like it’s been so long since she’s had your wet pussy wrapped around her. She was going to make this last. She started slow as she would any other night. A steady pace so your body can get used to the feeling. Her blunt nails dig into your hips as she began to loose control. It’s as if her instincts are being controlled by something else, something primal within her.

She can sense your eyelids flutter open but quietly shushes you before you can say a word. “You’re doing so good, you’re so good for me, princess. Close your eyes and let Mommy use you to get off.” She has big plans for you tonight, too bad you’ll be asleep for most of it.

-> happy valentines day!

synopsis -> how some of my favorite genshin women and men celebrate valentines day.

characters -> ningguang, shenhe, yelan, ei, miko, wriothesley, lyney, albedo, kazuha

warnings -> none! all fluff.

w/c -> 1.0k

ningguang is a woman with many riches. the moment her mind processed it was valentines day when she woke up for work was also the moment she hurried over to her wardrobe, digging up a beautiful bracelet made only with diamonds before setting it down on your night table. as she was putting on her clothes, you groaned, waking up. she leaned down to kiss you before telling you to look over on your side of the nightstand, greeted to an outstanding piece of jewelry you could only dream of having. you groggily smiled, putting the bracelet around your wrist before throwing the covers off of your body and hugging your wonderful wife.

shenhe doesn’t really understand the concept of ‘valentines day.’ she knew of it as liyue citizens being cheesy on the streets, and the finest cuisine’s businesses flooding with romance. usually, she’d watch from afar. but ever since you entered her picture, she started to care just a bit more. she’d spend the day with you in the harbor, observing other couples actions before deciding herself what to do. she had decided to buy you a nice box of chocolates and a few clothing items you’ve been eyeing. she bought them with you there, without a word, waiting until you both exited the store to give them to you. when you tightly hugged her, she let out a tiny laugh, hugging you back lightly.

oh? wriothesley, the great duke of the fortress of meropide, celebrating such a holiday? yes! as the morning approached, the first fun little gift you received was his presence in bed, still asleep. ah, he must have taken the day off of work, you thought. he awoke a few moments later, saying his good morning before getting up to start the day with you. he took you out for a very nice breakfast before walking around the inner city. oh, no matter if this were to go into the steambird. charlotte is probably lingering somewhere, eager to catch a rare sight of the duke on the surface. he brought you to an isolated part of fontaine, a gorgeous view, and making sure nobody was in sight, got down on one knee and pulled out an extraordinary ring from his pocket, holding it out to you.

lyney is most certainly going to celebrate valentines day, with a valentine or not. whether it’s performing card tricks that turn into roses for men with a romantic partner, or actually celebrating it with his significant other. he’ll perform a very special magic performance, just for your eyes, not even lynette or freminet have seen it! gorgeous, glittering roses in your favorites of colors come drifting from nowhere, landing in your hair. only the finest for you! he’ll absolutely spoil you with a dinner that certainly cost one hefty sum of mora… you really, truly hope today won’t make him bankrupt.

yelan will spoil you, without a doubt. she doesn’t care much about the holiday itself, what she does care for though is that you get what you desire on such a day. she’ll take you anywhere you would like! she also likes to save the fanciest restaurants for days like these in specific. you saw a restaurant in mondstadt during your last visit? she’ll take you, and you’ll spend the night in the city of wind. she’ll do anything for you no matter, and she’ll top it off with a cute box of chocolates and a bouquet. she’s not quite the person for overwhelming affection, so she’ll give these things to you in subtle ways, behind the safety of your walls.

oh, ei. from being in such a state of meditation for so long, this woman barely grasps the concept of christmas! do not fret, she’s a quick learner. (but don’t ask her to cook. that is something she will not be able to learn.) once you explain to her what valentine's day is, and also take her to get a small rundown of the holiday from yae miko, she nods before immediately dashing off to find an exquisite treasure at a nice shop downtown. of course, considering she’s in a very high position in inazuma, she gets cheaper prices on all of the trinkets, she absolutely spoils you! she’s also willing to walk around other islands with you, to admire the scenery before pulling out the things she got you and proceeding to make it a day worth remembering.

yae miko has lived long enough to understand what valentines day is. she see’s romance on the streets during those days, and she’s even published a light novel on two lovebirds on a holiday such as this. so do not underestimate how long she has planned your gift, as soon as you wake up you are greeted to a small book laying on your pillow. you go to open it, reading such a beautiful story about how you two fell in love. it was two completely different characters re-enacting your story. she comes into your shared bedroom, sitting down with you before rubbing your thigh, a look that cannot be told between a smirk and a light smile dancing across her gorgeous face.

albedo didn’t see the significance at first. of any holiday, people choose to celebrate this one? isn’t that what anniversaries are for? though, once he sees how important it is to you, he crafts a beautiful necklace with his bare hands and some potions he had mixed up to create the gemstones that were very neatly embedded into the shell of the jewelry. it was beautiful- likely the prettiest thing you’ve set your eyes upon, considering not only was it made from love, it went perfectly with your eyes and hair. valentines day this year was such a success with albedo as your partner.

kazuha knew valentines day. he’d make today extra special for you, taking you to the finest cuisines in whatever area you were at during your travels. he’d occasionally stop, creating a bouquet that he’d plan on giving to you later on at night. when you had received it, there was everything in there- he had collected some qingxin flowers, sweet flowers, a few mint leaves for color, some silk flowers, glaze lillies, and violetgrass. you truly believed it was the most gorgeous bouquet you’ve seen, and it landed a place in a very nice glass vase when you two arrived home that evening.

Being drunk and complaining how you think your bfGF is prettier than you (genshin men WOMEN x fem reader)

meow i love women <3

im so gay for genshin women lol

characters(SEPERATE): yae miko, beidou, lisa, mona, deyha, ninguang, rosaria, shenhe, yelan,

doing nilou, ganyu, jean, eula, keqing, ei(baal), kokomi, yoimiya next!!

be sure to comment if you want any other characters!!

ILL ALSO HAVE A SEPRATE LITTLE LUMINE AND AETHER ONE BC I LOVE THEM

i just fucking realized that rosaria is a nun, which means she is not allowed to date or have any sexual interaction uh my bad haha

Yae miko rather laughed at your pitiful state. As a shrine maiden, she is not allowed to drink, but rather seeing you intoxicated was rather enjoyable. "fufufu...what do we have here?" She laughed as you collapsed onto her, crying. "How are you so gorgeous?...what if-what if someone steals you from me? Do you even love me?" ...this was what came out of your mouth in a series of lisps and blabbering. "Oh? And what would make you think there is anyone else that could win me over? If you really want to be assured, I'll let you know that I dont just fall for anyone..." She smiled slyly at you. "R-REALLY?.." You looked up at her. "Yes darling, really." You ended up in a sobbing fit and cried yourself to sleep, waking up to puffy eyes and a teasing yae miko who wouldn't tell you what she was had happened last night...

Beidou, is a drinker all right. And so were you. Unfortunantly, the rather large difference between the two of you drinking was your rather awful alcohol tolerance. One or two drinks and you were saying your deepest darkest secrets. Which is why it usually ends up with you and beidou drinking alone. "Gosh..." You fangirled at your wife. "So hot, pretty, cool, smart, strong, hngg" You hit your head on the table as your hand which was supporting your head slipped. "OW!" You yelled in pain, crying to your wife. "Wifey it hurtttttttsss." You cried to beidou, and she just laughed. Which resulted in you staring at her in seriousness. "That laugh...."You suddenly gush, warmth rising to your cheeks. "That was so hot!" sparkles appeared in your eyes. "Do it again! Do it again!" You eagrly begged her to laugh again...and again...and again. How happy beidou was to have someone love her as much as you did.

Lisa, was actually the one to intoxicate you in her office after you gifted her multipole bottles of fruit wine, insisting that it would taste better if she drank it with you. However, rather than drinking it for herself, she took small sips while encouraging you to drink more. And you, somewhat of a people pleaser (or maybe just a lisa pleaser), drank until you couldn't tell how many fingers you had on your hand. "Lisaaaaaaa" you groaned, holding your head. "Yes cutie?" she smiled slyly, swirling the wine in her glass. "I envy you so much.." You laid your head on the office desk sighing. "You're so cute, gorgeous, and pretty...how is it even possible? And your voice is so soothing..." You blinked slowly, perhaps it was the alcohol (or lisa's voice), that made you tired. "Haha, are you a fan of me?" She gazed into your eyes smiling as her hand lifted your chin to look at her. "I think your cuter, isn't that right my little cutie?" You shied away from her embarrassed. "I was trying to complement you...not turn it around to me" You kissed her and giggled, "Hehe, you're my girlfriend! I'm so luckyyyhngggg" You blabbered, drifting off to sleep giggling.

As a rather wealthy person (or at least, richer than mona), you brought mona to your house for a little dinner date at home. You were quite nervous, even after months of dating, trying to impress her. Mona found it a bit cute, you've already stolen her heart, you still want to impress her? This 'cute' intention and nervousness made yourself drink the whole bottle of alcohol for a confidence boost. "Ah! [n-name] dear, you shouldn't drink so fast!" Mona stood up worriedly and rushed to your side. She held your arm as the alcohol started doing its job, and you started to loose balance. "Monaaaaaa I love you sooooooooo muchhh" You turned to her smiling drowsily, but unfortunately loosing your balance which caused you to topple over her on the floor. "[n-name]! Are you okay!?" she sat up, perhaps a bit embarrassed with a tint of pink dusting her face. You, arms wrapped around her neck and staring at her a bit too intently, spoke. "You're the prettiest astrologist-no the prettiest person ive ever met, how did i even get to date you?" You gushed at her. "P-pretty? Well of course I am!" She boasted, turning her head to face the wall to hide the redness of her face. "You're so cool...I wanna be just like you" You stayed like this for a while, sitting in her lap on the ground until you dozed off. "You're so silly [name], I love you for who you are..." She mumbled under her breath, staring at your sleeping figure on her lap.

An eremite and a scholar..dating? Yes, perhaps it was a bit unusual, but you were so in love with Deyha, sometimes you couldn't even look her in the eye. First meeting when you commissioned her to protect you in the runes, as you were a haravatat student. You asked her out, and rather very surprisingly, she said yes. And now it comes to this, having a date in a treehouse? The picnic blanket was spread on the wooden floor, and a candlelit dinner was set on the blanket. "[name]...you can't get drunk alright?" Worried for your safety, she set the bottle to the side, away from you. You were quite the infamous scholar at the akademiya known for your alcoholism, which made many other scholars shy away from you. Deyha paused for a moment, seemingly trying to process something, then picking up the bottle and shaking it, only to hear the airy inside of the bottle, without a single drop of wine. "[n-name]?" She went over to your side and looked at your face, in which turned out to be pink. She sighed. Truth to be told, you were trying to fix your alcoholism, which was (kind of?) working, you only got drunk every other week or so. It seems that the wine was too tempting to resist. You looked at Deyha and took her face in your hands. "Your makeup is superb pretty and gorgeous and cool and hot today." Deyha sat up straight, blushing. "I'm not wearing any makeup today [name].." Covering her face with her hand embarresed by your compliment. You snaked your hands around her waist and closed your eyes. "Mmmm...youre warm too..." You cuddled next to her as she laughed. "Of course, I'm your little heater." You smiled, breathing in her scent. "You smell good too..ehe" You took a deep breath and sighed.

The jade chamber was rebuilt, so you decided to have a mini party with only Ninguang. "I've brough some high-quality wine from mondstat for us to celebrate." She opened the bottle, the two of you a drink. Savoring the wine, she smiled at you gently. "Do you like it?" She asked you, waiting for your reply. "YES! Ahem, sorry i meant yes, i do like it." You blushed, flustered of your outburst. It was still hard to wrap your head around the fact that you were dating the ninguang. Perhaps it was the alcohol slowly taking effect, or maybe just the nerves, but you suddenly blurted out, "I think you're the nicest and prettiest lady in the entirety of teyvat! I-I'm really happy that you gave me a chance to date you considering our vast diferences..." You stuttered, fumbling with your hands. She let out a slight chuckle and stood up, walking in front of your chair to bend down to look at you. As here hands were on both of the arm rests, pining you to the chair, she spoke sternly, yet also in a loving tone. "It should be me who's the grateful one here, someone as cute and charming as you is hard to come by you know?" She teased you, showing her rather playful side than her work personality to you. After all, you were someone who truly loved ninguang for who she is and perhaps her no.1 fangirl and supporter.

As someone who was kept void of emotions, Shenhe was always learning new things about love and emotions when she was with you. She always felt calmer(less homicidal ykyk) near you, which was something quite new. And blushing and being embarrassed...was a bit confusing sometime. You invited her to your house for a drink or two, which caused shenhe to panic a bit and cloud retainer to have her little 'my baby's growing up!!' moment. Appearing at your front door step, you invited her in. "Oh! I bought this bottle of alcohol when i visited Snezhnaya, I've been really wanting to try it with you!" You smiled, which instantly caused shenhe to be a melting mess. "R-really...you wanted to try it with me?" "Yes!" You took two cups and poured some alcohol in each one. "Cheers!" You smiled as you downed the whole thing. "Ack-" You coughed, choking a bit on the alcohol. "Are you alright?" Shenhe asked worried about your wellbeing. "Yeah haha..and this alcohol seems to be wayyyy stronger than I thought it would be." You silently apologized to shenhe for the person you were about to become once drunk. Taking another shot (which actually was more like 5 shots in your cup), your face started turning red, and your words started to become more carefree and slurred. "Mmmphhh i really lov your eyes their soooo pretty...Just like you entirely ya know? Gosh how did i get someone as cute as you?..." You smiled at her, as she was a mush of shyness. "You're doing it again...saying these things that make me feel weird..." She mumbled, but you heard her. "Do you not like how it makes you feel?" You looked at her, tilting your head in curiosity. "N-no! I really like these um-compliments you give me." She covered her face. "Awww whats wrong?" You smiled, pouting. "Those expressions of yours...so...cute..." She fangirled internally at you. Tonight, shenhe will be receiving all the affection she deserves <3

"YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN" you yelled rushing to the front door of your rather luxurious home you shared with your wife. "Hello love, I'm back from work." You jumped onto her as she caught you. "You're such a child...I haven't even been gone for that long." You sniffled and sobbed. "Yes it was! You were gone for two days! I missed you so much!" You cried, and yelan took one smell to know you were drinking. She sighed and laughed "Drinking without me?" She said. "Im sorry...I just missed seeing your pretty face and your touch i thought the alcohol would help...It's-It's a weekend so its fine!" You tried defending yourself. "Well I'll say, I missed you lots too. I got you a little souvenir" But you were already fast asleep. Well at least she loves taking care of you at times like this, she found it pretty cute.

genshin identity headcanons cause i wanna share:

venti: i suppose the closest thing in gender would be demiboy? with beings like him i consider them to be born without a gender, so calling them cis or trans feels odd because they were never assigned one to begin with. he has all the genders but also none, but is boy adjacent. prefers he/him, but also likes being called feminine things like wife, bride, maiden etc.

xiaoxiao: also born genderless but sees himself as a man, i think his masculinity is important to him (but does not stop him from having pretty eyeliner). demisexual/demiromantic, has only loved one (1) man in his life. venti was his first time, but luckily venti has been alive for 2600+ slutty, slutty years and is very experienced.

scara: trans man, was created in the likeness of a woman but decided he didn't like that actually and chopped his hair off. gay, but has a complicated relationship with love because of *gestures at all of him as a person*. was in love with niwa but never loved again, until he found one (1) maple boy

maple boy: a simple gay man. i tend to see him as cis. he and mouchie are peak 'i'll find you in every lifetime'.

heizou is gay cis man but is very gnc. usually i like kazuha and scara to be exclusive but heikazuscara is also really good. heizou and scara would be competitive and love fighting each other but would do Anything for kazuha. they're in their get along shirt. they're gonna fuck in the get along shirt.

albedo: aro/ace. doesn't care much about gender but prefers masculine terminology, is probably smooth like a ken doll down there. he has a complete disinterest in sex and could probably sit there and watch ppl go at it in a completely detached scientific way. would take notes. interesting research material.

razor, bennett, and fischl: all of them are bi and polyam. razor doesn't know what a gender is and doesn't care what people call him, he doesn't pay attention much. as long as they know he's razor and he's a wolf then they've got it covered as far as razor is concerned. bennett is a trans boy, lucky to be surrounded by sososososo many supportive dads. fischl is a trans girl who of course had her trans awakening when she realized how much she wanted to be pretty and cool like her favorite book character. also they're all autistic i don't make the rules. fischl also has something going on with mona sometimes but it's on and off and not as serious as with the other two. "my name is razor and this my boyfriend bennett and our girlfriend fischl, and this her girlfriend mona" basically.

layla is an ace lesbian who falls in love with every pretty girl who is nice to her, but doesn't have time to pursue a relationship because of how busy she is with school ): her dreams are full of said pretty girls though.

i think i also see barbara as an ace lesbian as well, she is the cutest little blorbo.

ayaka is very obviously bi. i think she and kokomi would be rly cute together. that's my rarepair of the day.

tighnari and cyno are both arospec gay. perhaps demiromantic. love dick, probably wouldn't be chasing it if they didn't have each other though. trans tighnari supremacy. sumeru is the best place to be if you wanna transition.

xingqiu is a catty, mean ass gay. babygirl hes noncomforming to genders you've never even heard of. any pronouns are fine. his boyfriend chongyun is cis and there's not a thought in his head. he doesn't fully understand xingqiu's gender stuff but he's got the right spirit. i don't think i have a preference for whether chongyun would be gay or bi. he and xingqiu have been attached at the hip for their whole lives so he's never had to put much thought into it.

xinyan, yun jin, and xiangling are polyam. xiangling and xinyan are bi while yun jin is a lesbian. yun jin is also a trans lady, and they all love each other very much. yun jin and shenhe would be cute too but i think i prefer aro/ace shenhe.

gorou is a cis gay who has definitely experienced gay panic™️ before. he really thought he liked girls but realized he just rly admires a lot of the women in his life but doesn't actually like them that way (kokomi for example). im fascinated by how a man can be such an exemplary twink while still being so straight. he didn't have to come out because everyone already knew before he did.

itto is a cis man, and he's a pan legend. he doesn't know that word though, he'd just tell you that everyone is hot. definitely doesnt have a thought in his head when it comes to gender but is supportive. shinobu is a trans woman and is bi and aspec. when itto found out she was trans he was like "shinobu is so smart she really Can do everything :0"

jean and diluc are both bi and are exes and i think they could get up to a lot of silly ex shenanigans. they parted on friendly terms obviously.

furina is my precious boygirl, she is bigender and transmasc, and she's bisexual. any pronouns are fine. i feel like she would also have a crush on anyone who's nice to her.

#reblogging bc i edited this to reflect some changes in my headcanons :3

(I think I can finally admit to myself that Shenjin is an OTP of mine I just didn’t have enough content to tell myself I’m obsessed, but every time there’s a single piece of content I go FERAL.)

More headcanons about them because let me explain the appeal further:

Yun Jin tries to avoid tradition when she can—not putting on makeup, dress, likely likes to mix up tales she performs or gain accuracy on them (Shenhe)—and she’s a big foodie it seems, too.

So Shenhe, someone that doesn’t even know of tradition or most social etiquette, would be appealing to Yun Jin because she just does things with no forethought or embarrassment. Yun Jin probably has a bit of “should I do this” forethought every “going against the grain” action that she commits to, or wimps out of.

Yun Jin is also very patient, perhaps a bit mischievous (smug emote), and I think that appeals to Shenhe because Shenhe, that can come off as a social pariah, is somewhat used to more extreme reactions to her (what she thinks is) normal reaction. It could take Yun Jin off guard, but she’s mostly understanding and will kindly take her through the motions of what to do in situations that Shenhe reacts oddly in.

I also think Yun Jin is a big teaser when she’s not caught up in her own feelings or isn’t putting on a polite but professional front.

So Yun Jin’s natural mischievous side might help bring out a more sarcastic, prankster side to Shenhe, where Shenhe purposely pretends to be oblivious about things just to embarrass Yun Jin.

And because it’s my favorite trope, I love to think of an enemies-to-lovers concept with these two.

Yun Jin as some kind of demon from hell, and Shenhe as the angel that doesn’t question her orders, leading to a very morally grey romance between the two.

It could be the opposite, too, same characteristics, and they start off rather antagonistic but gradually upgrade to flirting, to caring moments, to love.

My favorite au at the moment is that they’re both dance competitors, but through their performances they grow to love the stories and technique that each other use to tell a story.

Or perhaps better: Yun Jin is a singer, and her manager (imagine if it’s Hu Tao lol) employs a dancer like Shenhe to perform while she sings, and Yun Jin at first thinks she’s irritated by sharing the spotlight but realizes that she’s actually very, very attracted to her coworker that doesn’t seem to be interested in anything. Cue an emotionally flustered Yun Jin trying to act normal around her big crush.

And I’ve got one more:

Domestic Shenjin where they have a daughter and Shenhe acts like the chill mom while Yun Jin is the worrier, only for everyone to realize that Shenhe is actually the overprotective one while Yun Jin has to control both her daughter and her wife from overreacting to certain situations.

#sigh I saw ONE edit of yun jin and fell hard once again #shenjin #idek if there’s another ship name for these two #yun jin #shenhe #genshin headcanons #genshin impact #I’m pretty sure most of my followers aren’t interested in this ship but I am nothing if not persistant #persistent****#that’s a lie. pls enjoy anyway and imagine your otp

Delightful fics I read today, part 2!

I did not realise, before this fic, that Xiao and Shenhe had some fascinating parallels. Which they do have. But also, feral Shenhe.

Just. Feral Shenhe. And... spoilers below for what, in my opinion, is a wonderful, wonderful conclusion and potential sequel bridge, that allows Shenhe to realise certain very important things. [Also has Zhongli rescuing Xiao, which is always my jam!]

It's a beautiful fic. Please, read it!

"That is none of my concern." Xiao eases himself to the ground with a groan, spear clattering at his side. "Mine is only to fight to the best of my abilities. There will come a time when those abilities are not sufficient, and I will fall like my comrades before me. Such is the way of things."

"How can you accept that?" Shenhe says. "How can you serve one who would let you die?"

The quaver in her voice catches Xiao's attention. They're close enough she can feel him struggling to sit up again. He's patting his clothing, looking for her red ropes. Is this too much emotion for him?

"How dare he," Shenhe says, backing up a step. "How dare he leave you to fend for yourself. How dare he pay your flesh and blood like currency for the life he values more. How dare he abandon you here in this cave, when he was the very one meant to protect and cherish you!"

"Shenhe," Xiao says. He's reaching for her now; she dances away. "That's not how it is between us. Let me put these back on you—"

"No!" Shenhe snarls, fighting him off when he gets too close. She won't have her feelings constrained. If this is the end, she wants to rage and grieve for him, the way no one grieved for her, when she too was left to die.

With her own spear, she strikes at the prison around them, again and again. Xiao is shouting at her, something about the adeptal abode being impenetrable, but she's too angry to hear. Within her, the calamitous fates stir, and seethe. The violent urges. The promises of death and destruction, that have always been laid upon her soul. They pour from her, take hold of her, and for once she's wholly glad to make good on their promise. One more strike, and she rends a hole in this dark prison, letting in a single shaft of light.

Almost before she can register it, that hole is immediately widened, torn open with an urgent force.

The adeptal space collapses around them, and they're looking out into the real world again. Against the blue sky, there's Rex Lapis floating down: human in form, jet black arms motioning apart again, so that the carcass that imprisoned them is sundered even further.

She stares at him for a long moment, eyes still blinded by the sudden light, and then she screams at him, raw and primal.

It may not be coherent, it may not even be words, but the aching cry contains all the feelings she's never been allowed. She's been abandoned for so long. How could he sacrifice her, his living child, for his wife who's already dead? How could he leave her helpless with that monster, to fight for her life? What kind of father was he?

Asexual spectrum headcanons!! Because why not!!

Here's a list of characters that I see either as asexual or under the ace umbrella! With little to no explanation.(because I struggle with words) You don't have to agree with me. It's just my opinion. NOW FOR THE HEADCANONS!!

Albedo- aroace. He's never had a sexual or romantic in his life.

Scara- Demiromatic/Demisexual Scara still learning how he feels but I will like he would be Demi. Not many people are close to him so it makes sense.

Zhongli- Demiromatic/Pansexual I feel like after the passing of his wife, he's more closed off to having romantic feelings for someone. Also being immortal too, he knows he will most likely out live his partner.

Razor- Asexual I don't have to explain this.

Collei- Asexual This bean has never had a sexual feeling in her life, but she's a hopeless romantic.

Al Haitham- Asexual/Demiromantic

He's not against the idea, but he wouldn't feel anything for you for a long time.

Tighnari- Demiromantic/Demisexual

Because I main him, and he told me.

Xiao- Asexual/Demiromantic

I won't explain this one

Shenhe- Graysexual

I'm sure she's felt maybe sexual attraction maybe twice in her life so far and each time, she thinks something is wrong with her and gets embarrassed. Then someone has to explain "No honey, that's the horny."

Gorou- Demiromantic

Because...he told me.

Dottore- Aromantic Do...I have to explain this one to you guys...

Let me switch one I should do next!

In the Names of Freedom - Chapter 2

I'm back again with another chapter! In this chapter, Venti excels at being annoying...

If you missed it last time, this is a Love of Kill (殺し愛) AU, so Venti and Xiao are hitmen!

Thanks again to my fantabulous editor, @leio13!

Summary: After confirming the death of his latest target, Xiao's secret mission is interrupted by an eccentric stranger in green, who claims to be Xiao's protector! But the reality is much more convoluted... What destiny could possibly link Xiao with Venti—an assassin of hitmen?

This chapter can also be found on Ao3 here. Without further ado, please enjoy!

When Xiao crept silently into the Adepti Agency, he was halted by a confident greeting from the reception desk, “Good morning, Xiao. I finally caught you.”

“Morax… Good morning.” Xiao closed the door behind him sheepishly. “I wasn't purposefully avoiding you.”

Morax smiled smally into his tea. “I know, I know. But I remember the days when you used to report all your activities to me, and I can't help but miss them. In any case, I would actually like to discuss one of your related habits. Will you join me in my office?"

Despite the neglected storefront and dubious nature of their line of work, Morax's office had the dignity of a regular workplace. The walls were lined with shelves upon shelves of books, covering all sorts of topics (and if you bothered to carefully read all the titles, you might spot a few photo albums). The room also housed a small museum of many expensive trinkets and precious gemstones. The desk was impeccably tidied, with every paper filed in its proper place, and was a private showcase of his most valuable collection: pictures of his late wife. Perhaps the most unusual feature was the tray of tea and snacks that was always prepared for visitors.

"Tea?" Morax asked, signaling the beginning of their perfected ritual. Without waiting for a response, Morax poured two cups of hot tea and placed one in front of Xiao along with a plate of almond tofu.

"Thanks."

"Now." Morax sat across from Xiao at the small table. "You must already know what I want to talk about."

"Yes, I do."

Morax sighed, took a sip of his tea, and sighed again. "Why don't you consider working with a partner?"

“I prefer working alone.”

“Do you not trust your colleagues? I know that Ganyu is very helpful as a secretary, but she is also a capable field agent. Or Shenhe—though she is still training, she shows a lot of potential. Under your wing, she could be quite formidable indeed.”

“I don't doubt their abilities, but…” No matter how competent his allies may be, Xiao couldn't shake his misgivings. Xiao was only skilled at one thing: killing. He couldn't support a partner, and above all, he feared his own weapon. “Working together will only hinder us both.”

Morax's cup settled against the wooden table with a disappointed clank. “Xiao. Have you ever heard of the Mole?”

“The assassin of hitmen. It doesn't make sense for such a person to exist.”

“You're right. They are an anomaly, and I cannot confirm their existence; however, the fact remains that it has grown increasingly dangerous for people like us. Recently, a number of hitmen have been found dead. Their valuables, including money, arms, and drugs, remained untouched, but any forms of identification were missing. This most likely means two things: 1) the killer is trying to keep a low profile; the death of a person from the underground—especially an unidentifiable one—is unlikely to garner a lot of media or police attention. 2) The killer is looking for information. Their next move is going to be unpredictable. So far, our agency hasn't suffered from any attacks (probably due to the strength of our contracts), but it would be better for us to proceed cautiously.”

“Is that why you want me to take a partner?”

“Well, that, among many reasons.”

“You needn't worry about me. I can handle any threats.”

“No, Xiao.” Morax frowned slightly. “I'm worried about you, as your father. You can't keep going like this.”

Morax's words settled heavily on Xiao's shoulders. It was rare for Morax to bring up that side of their relationship during work. Outside of the Agency, Morax was an ordinary widower named Zhongli. Twelve years ago, not long after the death of his wife, Zhongli had found and rescued Xiao from the scene of a terrible accident, of which Xiao himself has no recollection. Whenever asked about the incident, Zhongli would modestly deflect the conversation—”Don't thank me; thank the lucky winds which brought you to me.” Nevertheless, despite the muddled circumstances of Xiao's adoption, one thing was perfectly clear: Zhongli was the reason Xiao was alive and the reason Xiao continued to live.

For such reasons, Xiao could not object to Zhongli's request so easily. Staring at the shadow cast by the table, Xiao lightly clenched the fabric of his pants. “I'm sorry.”

If Zhongli wanted to reply, he was robbed of the chance by a knock on the front door. “I don't recall anyone scheduling an appointment…” Entertaining the humorous thought, Zhongli turned to the door. “I'll go get it.”

The instructions were clear: Xiao was to remain in Morax's office. But, that didn't mean he couldn't listen in.

“I'm sorry but we don't accept walk-in appointments,” Morax kindly reproved the visitor.

“Oh, I'm sorry.” Despite her words, the young but stern voice made no indication of backing down. “I'm Keqing; I'm with the police. I was wondering what sort of business you do here. There's no indication on the door.”

“We're a detective agency. Due to the confidential and oftentimes disturbing nature of the cases we take on, we prefer to keep a low public profile.”

“Oh, I understand. Seeing as we work in the same business, we may run into each other again.”

“Yes, I look forward to a prosperous partnership in the future.”

“If it wouldn't inconvenience you, I would like a tour of your offices.”

“That would be my pleasure. If you could wait a minute, I'd like to inform my subordinate of the situation. It should only take a minute.”

“Of course. Take as much time as you need. I hate to intrude.”

Morax briefly popped his head into his office. “A policewoman is here for a tour, so, unfortunately, I must bring our meeting to an end. Of course, you're welcome to come have a chat with me whenever you'd like.”

“About my next mission…”

“Oh yes, I almost forgot. You're not currently scheduled for any other missions. Consider the next two weeks a vacation.”

“But—”

“However, if you feel like joining any of your colleagues' missions, do let me know; we can definitely work something out.”

Xiao followed Morax out of his office with a suppressed grumble. Waiting by the reception desk was a well-dressed young woman with long lavender hair tied up in cat-like pigtails. Her face was unfamiliar and hopeful, not one of the usual cops who would stop by to negotiate under-the-table deals.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Xiao heard Morax say as he slipped out of the door as quietly as he came.

“Is that your colleague?” Keqing asked. “He can join us, of course.”

“Oh, that's all right. He doesn't work well with other people.”

***

White sunlight pried under Xiao's eyelids, and he turned over with a grumble, reluctantly facing the shadowy wall. Xiao wasn't one to sleep in, but it was Saturday, the first day of his two-week “vacation,” so what else was he to do? At least rolling in bed pretending to sleep under the pretext of self-care was slightly productive—or so he told himself. The truth was he hoped that the next time he opened his eyes, he would receive a message from Morax retracting his forced time-off.

Just then, his phone buzzed, sending a brief vibration across the unadorned nightstand. Xiao squinted at the screen and the unfamiliar number written across.

Saturday, 09:10

Good morning! ☆ I hope you're having a

better day than this fellow~!

Do you know him?

Xiao would have ignored the strange message were it not for the strange video attached. Reluctantly, Xiao opened the file. The video was dark, and the setting, nondescript. But what was clear was the bloodied and gagged man in the focus. The captured man squirmed and grunted desperately.

09:10

He said he was going to meet you at

Chihu Rock this morning… A friend of

yours?

Xiao grimaced. While he had no idea about the man in the footage (probably a low-level assassin), he was certain about the sender—Venti. The two together made him sick.

09:11

Oh yeah, he had these on him.

The attached picture depicted two handguns and one dagger laid out across a flat surface. The hopeful assassin had been painfully unprepared.

09:14

So, what should I do? Are you going to

meet him? Or should I take care of him?

The answer to that question didn't concern Xiao. He could easily take care of a pitiful threat like that if it came to it. What he wanted instead was to stop receiving messages. He turned his screen off and rolled over. Maybe he would go back to sleep after all…

09:17

Okay. Taken care of~ ☆

With a groan, Xiao picked up his cell phone for the last time that morning. Blocked. And then he powered it down.

Ignoring the strange text from earlier, Xiao meandered through empty time until he inevitably wound up at the harbor. Giving the city its name, the harbor was an epicenter of trade, trends, and rumors. And it was, accordingly, the ideal place for gathering intel. At the pier, laborers unloaded unlabeled packages and wheeled tarped carts. At the market, buyers bargained for huge discounts on unregistered goods, and solicitors shouted and waved pamphlets about nonexistent services.

But amid the rigged prices and whispered exchanges, there were also loitering school children with their own web of petty gossip and shopping families whose infants climbed all over the anchors, oblivious to their significance. Young couples waited hand in hand for their fortunes while sailors bid tearful yet optimistic goodbyes to their loved ones before their next voyage. To Xiao, this peaceful coexistence was more enigmatic than any code word and more dazzling than any black-market jade. Though it lay right before his eyes, it was a world Xiao could never enter; he could only watch the blinding sight from the deep embrace of its shadow.

Xiao's phone buzzed from another unknown number:

Saturday, 15:16

Your friend here wanted to treat you to a

Wanmin Special. I hope you don't mind that I

joined him for lunch first?

Attached was an image of a man planted face first in a bowl of soup. Xiao didn't need a video to know he wouldn't move again. Still, he was more bothered that Venti had reached him through another number… Blocked again.

Unfortunately, two blocked numbers were not enough to deter Venti as a third cryptic message awoke Xiao in the early hours of the next day.

Sunday, 03:17

She wanted to play hide and seek with

you, but I found her first—whoopsies!

This time there was no image, leaving Venti's cruel games to Xiao's imagination. Blocked.

By the fourth text, Xiao was nearly ready to turn his phone off—except he was still clinging to the possibility that Morax would assign him a job. Until that message came, Xiao was stuck in limbo, haunted by Venti's persistence.

Sunday, 16:41

They were waiting for you in Chihu Rock.

Although the next messages had shrunk in length, they had also grown in frequency. Stranger still, each number's area code stemmed from entirely unrelated parts of Teyvat. But while they had expanded in origin, the location of each crime had narrowed down closer to Xiao's whereabouts.

Monday, 01:05

Wandering Feiyun Slope

13:26

While you were eating almond tofu

18:52

At the pier

Tuesday, 04:35

Outside ur office

11:54

While ur eating almond tofu

U do that a lot huh?

22:40

@the dock

Even after ten blocked phone numbers, Venti showed no sign of slowing down. With a long sigh, Xiao resigned himself to the next step… “Let's meet,” he replied.

22:41

Ok. 15h 3KO?

The time and place was indeed convenient to Xiao, but he would never confirm this with Venti. If they failed to meet on Wednesday, Xiao wouldn't be bothered.

Nevertheless, when Wednesday afternoon rolled around, Xiao found himself by the square in front of Third-Round Knockout. Not certain if he wanted to reveal himself after all, he hid himself in the unusual crowd that had gathered around the fountain. Above the gentle rush of water emanated the breezy notes of a lyre. The melody carried the whistle of a bird flying on caressing winds across the audience. And the poem began…

The first birds took flight in the land of wind,

But one crane was unlike his kin.

The bard could be only one person—Venti. And yet, the sound did not grate Xiao's ears. Though he did not sing, Venti's voice rang out clearly like a song, brushing through Xiao's hair and over his face with a sweet warmth.

Although wings he did have a pair,

Life's gift to him was unfair,

For ugly and strange were his feathers,

Which held him to the ground like a teather.

Thus, lofty horizons he did not seek,

but instead, the gentle song of another beak.

But the crane did not whistle back,

For it was courage that he lacked.

When, with Winter's breath, Mond began to freeze,

The flock turned south to a warmer breeze.

So away they flew, 'cept one little bird

Whose wings' deformities were too absurd.

Though try and try did he,

From Winter's grasp, he could not flee.

Under falling frost, he began to numb.

Then aloft, he heard a familiar hum!

"You cannot stay here," came the cry overhead,

"For Winter's snow embraces only the dead.

"If you cannot fly on your own wing,

"Then, to summer's sweet breeze, you I shall bring."

Thus under another's wing, the crane did fly

Away from his clouded nest to a fair blue sky.

When Xiao closed his eyes, he could see white cranes taking flight from a stony spire into a stormy, gray sky. The freezing sleet pelted their feathers as to push them back down. No matter what, Xiao couldn't envision the blue expanse beyond the swirling winds which blocked the horizon.

“Did I keep you waiting long?” A cheery voice snapped Xiao from the cruel ending laid out by his imagination.

“No—uh, I just got here.” Xiao sputtered out.

“Really?” Venti grinned widely. “Did you enjoy my poem?”

The blush on Xiao's face betrayed him, and he could not deny that he had been listening. “You're very talented… b—…” He stopped himself; it was a useless inquiry.

“Mmm-mmm! I'm the best bard in Teyvat!” Venti's chest swelled. “But?”

“Could that poem really have a happy ending?”

“Eh?” Venti broke into a laugh. “What do you think?”

“I…”

“You think there's no way a bird could carry an equal-sized bird through Mondstadt's stormy walls into Liyue?”

Xiao nodded.

“I think so too.” Venti turned his back. “But, I'm just the bard. I just provide the stories; it's up to the audience to find meaning in them. C'mon, let's eat! I'm hungry!” Without a second's pause, he pranced over to the restaurant, Third-Round Knockout, and found himself a seat.

Xiao didn't arrange this meeting for a casual lunch date, but he found he had little control over the pacing. As soon as he sat down, Venti started chatting again. “I'm going to have the dandelion wine—what about you?”

“Just water is fine. I don't drink.”

“Eehh? How boring…” With a bewildered look, Venti eventually shrugged and moved on. “What about the main meal?”

“Almond Tofu.”

“Even here? What is it with you and almond tofu?”

Luckily, before Xiao had to justify his food preferences, the waitress arrived to take their order, which ended up being one order of wine-fermented sweet rice balls, one order of almond tofu, and two glasses of dandelion wine.

When the food and drinks arrived, Xiao seized the opportunity to take control of the conversation. “So, what do you want with me?”

“What do you mean?” Venti tilted his head.

“You must know that I can deal with those minor threats myself.”

“Of course! But is it wrong of me to help you?”

“What do you want out of it?”

“Besides your safety?” Venti downed his glass of wine with a laugh.

Unamused, Xiao only responded with a glare. Venti seemed unaffected, however, as he slurped down his rice-ball wine with delight. “Mmm!” Taking a sip out of the other wine glass, he exclaimed, “This reminds me of home! Although I suppose it's a little dif—“

“I know about your reputation. You're the one they call 'the Mole,' aren't you?”

“'Mole?' How rude! I'd much rather be a bird…”

“Don't play ignorant.”

Shrinking under the sudden attention from other patrons, Venti nudged Xiao's plate towards him. “Here, Xiao, why don't you eat something?” Until the stares finished, Xiao had no choice but to play along. He nibbled on a bite of tofu which melted softly over his agitated nerves.

Venti sipped his wine again and shot Xiao a telling glance. “And what if I am?”

“If you want information from me, you won't get a word. And I'll never let you kill me.”

“Ooh!” Venti grinned. “I like the fighting spirit!” He flagged the waitress for two more glasses then sighed. “To be honest, you know… I do want information, but I don't need to get it from you. And don't worry, I have no intentions on killing you. As one of the best in the business, surely you must have good connections?”

“But wouldn't you want to finish me off after getting the information you wanted?”

“Ahaha, I know my limits. And besides, you're something of an exception…”

“'An exception?'”

“I can tell. You don't enjoy the hunt like other hitmen, right? You've just been trapped in the shadows for too long.” A look of genuine pity scrolled across Venti's face, but it was not pity Xiao needed.

“You're wrong about me. I chose to do this job, and that makes me no different than the others. Killing is what I'm good at; it's all I can do.”

An unsettling emotion flashed across Venti's face before he quickly covered it up with his smiling mask. Even when the waitress returned with his drinks, he hardly responded, minus a simple “thanks.”

As they sat in silence, Xiao reconsidered his response. Should he have been honest with someone as unpredictable as Venti? Still, he didn't regret his decision. It would be better if Venti lost interest in him, even if it ended in violence.

Suddenly, Venti squirmed. “Aah~ I can't handle it when you look at me with such an intense stare~. It feels like you can see right through me~.” Despite his words, Venti's eyes watched Xiao in earnest.

“I can't help it. You're just so… eye-catching.” Venti pouted slightly, but his body posture supported Xiao's acting, so Xiao continued, running his fingers by Venti's ear. “But if I can't look at you, where should I look?”

“Ah, uh… anywhere else is fine…” Venti blushed massively, glancing bashfully to his right.

Xiao snuck a leftward gaze while pretending to amuse himself in Venti's hair. At a nearby table, a pair in black were hastily preparing to leave. Their timing was nearly perfect. Had they left just a minute earlier, they would have been able to escape with their new intel. But unfortunately for them, Xiao wouldn't let them slip away. “Oh, but as I thought—I can't stop myself.” Xiao's hands slid down, his fingers coiling loosely around Venti's neck and jaw. “I just want to follow you home, lay you bare, and have my way with you.”

“Ooh!” Venti jumped, a smirk growing on his face. “What will you do with me?”

“That depends on you.” Letting Venti breathe again, Xiao stood up to pay the bill. Venti quickly chugged down the remaining wine before drunkenly traipsing towards Xiao, his cheeks glowing red.

The darkly dressed men disappeared into one of Chihu Rocks western side streets—perhaps looking to escape the city? Unfortunately, Liyue Harbor's usual bustle had retired back to their workplaces, and it was impossible to stalk the spies on the smaller streets. Xiao's one hope was intercepting them at the bridge out of town.

“Well… this was an… interesting outing, but something just came up, so I'm afraid we need to part ways.” For good. Xiao less than gently pried Venti off his arm.

“No waayyy…” Venti refused to budge. “After those provocative words, you can't just leave me. I just need to see what you can do.”

“I'm sure you have the answer to that question already.”

“How cold…” Venti sighed. “But Xiao, I think you're missing something here. You think you're major hotstuff—”

“I do not.”

“Oh yes, you think all eyes are always on you, including mine. But if you took a moment to think about someone other than yourself, you'd realize that I'm also quite the tempting piece of eye candy. With or without you, there will always be people chasing after me. I don't think you should so carelessly let me slip away.”

Xiao groaned. He had no idea of the extent of Venti's involvement, so, much as he preferred to work alone, he could not just cast the 'bard' aside. “Fine.”

“Hehe.” Venti leaned cheekily.

After striding down the busy main streets, Xiao and Venti tucked into a shop near the bridge to watch for their targets. Sure enough, the duo appeared shortly after, their shuffling feet and tunneled gazes betraying their suspicion. As the two men beelined out of the city, Xiao and Venti joined the pedestrian crowd of tourists and couples promenading over the bridge. The traffic stopper was the dazzling heights of Liyue's skyline, the towers of Feiyun Slope reaching towards the beaming sun, but Xiao and Venti's sights were set elsewhere—beyond the fountain welcoming new arrivals, where the dilapidated frames of old buildings creaked under the breeze.

Xiao was not unfamiliar with the suburbs—a few of his colleagues hailed from the small villages that lay west of the harbor—and he knew the types that lurked there. They were usually the poor that couldn't make it through honest living in the city and had no choice but to scour for valuables to take and sell. But they typically steered clear of more dangerous criminals…

"How unsightly." Venti grimaced. "What a terrible shame they let their suburbs get like this…"

"It can't be helped."

Venti shot Xiao a quizzical look. "I get it! You—" Venti's mouth and feet came to a halt. "Look who it is…"

The men in black had rendezvoused with a group of three dressed in khaki.

"Treasure Hoarders."

The Treasure Hoarders were a loose cross-continental organization of thieves. As their name and corny uniform suggested, they began as a group who dug up treasures to sell for a fortune. But as the number of Treasure Hoarders kept growing even as the number of undiscovered relics diminished, they expanded their hunt to include already claimed valuables.

"Never imagined them to be the stalking type."

"No, those are moles."

"Hmph." Venti pouted, turning away for dramatic flair.

While Venti was moping, the odd group had slipped into one of the run-down buildings by the road. Xiao crept up to the flimsy wall, and after a moment's peace, Venti joined him.

“So what's the deal with the other one?” One of the interior voices asked.

“Don't know.” The answer came with a sigh. “Boyfriend?'

There were a few stifled chuckles—even a grin from Venti, which Xiao quickly tore down with a glare.

“That's cute… But he wasn't part of the info. What should we do with him?”

"Should we—you know…"

"Don't get ahead of yourself."

"We don't know what he can do."

"Wanna find out?" Venti had casually slipped through a nearby window.

"Nuh—HUH?!"

Xiao slipped in a sigh under the cacophony of startled footsteps. Unlike Venti, however, he was not yet eager to show his face.

"How did you—?!"

"That's—!!"

"You were followed?!"

"Of course." Xiao could hear the amusement on Venti's lips. "A bird pursuing a worm must still be wary of snakes."

"Oh? Then what business does a bird have in a snake den?" The scrape of knives accented the Treasure Hoarder's threat, drawing Xiao closer to the window.

Venti twirled a gun around his finger. "Even a chicken eats snakes."

The soft thud of the gun against Venti's palm signaled the three Treasure Hoarders' pounce. For the two others in black, however, it was time to escape; they sprinted to the door. Xiao needed not stop them as before they found the exit, Venti had already shot them down—one in the knee, the other in the spine. As they writhed on the floor, Xiao towered over, brandishing his spear. He hesitated. He was an assassin; what did he know of interrogation?

Meanwhile, Venti was making quick work of the Treasure Hoarders. First, he shot a pistol out of the shaky fingers of a man lurking in the back. The mouthy leader leapt forward with a knife. Venti grabbed the assailant's arm, twisted it, and propelled himself into the air. He landed in front of a flabbergasted man with a shovel. Snatching the shovel, Venti twirled around to parry another knife attack. After entertaining a few rounds back and forth, Venti slammed the barrel of his gun into his opponent's jaw, putting a bullet through his skull. Without sparing him a glance, he smacked the man behind him with the shovel. Then, he plucked the knife from the cadaver and strutted to the man nursing his bloodied hand. He drove the knife into his chest. The last of the Treasure Hoarders lunged with a guttural scream, but Venti callously knocked him off balance.

“Aw man… I usually prefer to exchange information before killing…” Venti sighed and pleaded with the remaining Treasure Hoarder with murderous eyes. “Won't you tell me what you know?” He held his gun up to the guy's throat.

“I…! Uh—I don't know anything! I-I swea—“

“Who are you targeting?”

“The… Ya… Yaksha…!”

“Who sent you?”

“I don't know…!”

Venti cocked the gun. “Who sent you?”

“The boss at Qingce Village!”

“What business does he have with the Yaksha?”

“I-I don't know! We're just Treasure Hoarders—I swear!”

“Final question—“ Venti pointed his gun to the two men at Xiao's feet—“Who are they?”

“N-no idea! The boss told us to work with them! They're not Treasure Hoarders…”

“Thanks.” Venti smiled before shooting the man in the chest. Then he turned to Xiao, who finally snapped out of his daze.

He needed to question the men lying at his mercy.

“Please…” rasped the now paralyzed man between coughs of blood. “…Spare my partner…”

Xiao glanced at the other man who had been pinned down with his spear then back to the first man. “What about you?”

“I… won't—“ With a loud bang, the man's head exploded.

“Hey!” Xiao snapped.

“He wouldn't have been a good bargaining chip, anyway. Would've just died before we got any answers.” Venti shrugged as he stepped over. “I just put him out of his misery.”

“I'm doing the interrogation here.” Xiao snarled.

“Are you?”

Ignoring Venti's provocation, Xiao stared at the still living man in black. “Who are you?”

“You can't scare me!” He spat venomously. “We're prepared for death in our field.”

Xiao picked up his spear and brought it to the defiant man's forehead. “What organization are you part of?”

“I'm not scared. The boss will take care of me.”

“Your boss? They'll never find you. But tell me who they are, and you may live to see them again.”

“No matter what you do, in the end, I will meet them.”

“I'm telling you—you won't—not unless you cooperate. Tell me what you're after.”

“Boss—“ The man pulled a knife from his pocket. Xiao's grip tensed, and blood trickled from the point of his spear poking into the man's forehead. “I'm going home early.” The man drove his blade through his own trachea.

Xiao slammed the point of his spear into the growing puddle of blood. “Why!?”

“It's over, Xiao.” A gentle hand touched his shoulder. “Things can't always end as we want.”

“Leave me alone.” Xiao shook off Venti's hand with little resistance. He stormed from the now lifeless building. He wandered mindlessly through the neighborhood until he stopped in front of a familiar crane statue. Oh, it's you. Xiao sighed and sat down. Maybe you'd understand.

For his part, Xiao couldn't make heads or tails of his frustration. Normally, on a job, he was able to separate his feelings entirely. This shouldn't have been different. He was a hitman —so why did five deaths bother him so much? Venti was right: they were going to be killed regardless. There was no way Xiao could let them escape with information on him. Still, they were just petty criminals, who should've had nothing to do with the world of killers. But then again, Xiao could not judge who deserved to live. He was a tool only for killing. What right did he have to condemn the deaths of others?

“A bird?” A soft voice popped up above Xiao's head.

Xiao didn't have the energy to shoo Venti away. “A grave marker.”

“Oh. A friend of yours?”

Friend? Xiao had always considered himself alone. He had never thought of his colleague as a friend before, and to do so now, after he had died, seemed cruel. “When he was alive, he was called Pervases. If you had met him, you would've killed him.” A bitter laugh lingered on Xiao's lips.

“Why? I'm not that heartless!”

“He was a hitman, though he shouldn't have been. He wanted to make a change in this city. He should've been in the Millelith, but he was unlucky. Instead, he died here in the shadows.”

“I'm sorry.”

Xiao didn't know why he told Venti all that. There was no way Xiao could convince Venti of Pervases' character. And even if he did, what was the point? Pervases was long gone. The silence chilled Xiao's knees, and he pulled them closer to his chest.

A light breeze tousled Xiao's hair, carrying a gentle tune to his ears.

White bird, why do you cry?

Extend your wings and fly.

White bird, your chains are no more.

Turn towards the skies and soar.

So long you have only known a cage,

Unaware of the joys of freedom.

But the Wind shall bring a new age

And carry you to Her kingdom.

White bird, your wounds shall mend.

This journey's not the end.

White bird, now you are free.

Fly, fly, beyond the sea.”

-> theres no place quite like here

synopsis -> you take shenhe to a gorgeous location to spend your lantern rite together. the whole purpose? was to catch a glamorous sunset.

warnings -> none! pure fluff.

a/n -> someone plz know what song i quoted. i will be so happy if someone can recognize these lyrics omg

w/c -> 907

“shenhe, come on! the beautiful sunset is only preserved for so long. blink and you’ll miss it!” you rushed your wife out the door, keeping an eye on the outside to make sure that tonight, this visit will be worth it.

she sighed, proceeding to put on a pair of shoes quicker than the pace she followed before, as you were anxiously bouncing on your heels. she didn’t necessarily understand what was going to happen, she just knew you were excited.

as soon as she had her shoes on she was dragged out the door, immediately forced into a sprint. she was surprised with how long you were able to run for- but she also kept your speed.

you ran what felt like the extent of liyue until you got to the heart of yilong wharf. you stopped running, cuing her to also stop too. you bought a few snacks, hastily pulling a pouch of mora out of your pocket and likely tipping those stall owners a fair amount, you took off into a sprint once again.

but this time, there was mountain climbing involved. you groaned, looking back at shenhe, who simply nodded and told her where to go. you climbed ahead of her, but she took a more advanced route, giving you time to breathe every once in a while. that didn’t slow your pace, though.

finally, your awaited destination was just a large rock away. the sun was also, finally in the perfect position, making the skies a beautiful mix of purples, pinks, and reds. you did your last climb and layed on the ground of mt. mingyuan, exhausted from all the effort you made to come up here.

“what was the point of this trip?” questioned a very confused shenhe. you giggled a little bit.

“look behind you, shen.”

and that she did. you could see her eyes glimmer with elation. once she saw the gorgeous sky, she nodded, flashing a small smile in your direction. there was nobody else up here- it showed nobody wanted to do the actual work of climbing such a distance, but that only meant that it was all the more special for the both of you.

shenhe got up and walked to the spot you patted next to you. she sat down, crossing her legs and sitting straight up. sometimes you admired how she had such perfect posture, and this was one of those times. well, assuming adeptal arts practice good posture, you picked up where she learned it from. you straightened up under influence from the white haired woman inches from you.

you wanted to hug her, bring her in tight to your body, but you thought to let her have her moment. she seemed to be admiring the view in front of her, signaling she doesn’t get to see these things too often.

“you know, sunsets like these are hard to come by around here. i’ve heard that inazuma has the prettiest by far,” she starts, and you look out at the horizon alongside her. she stands up, walking towards the mountains edge. “but i do not believe that it can pass over this one. i haven’t seen anything like this, even with my moments living up on the mountain tops with master.”

you nod, and she looks back at you.

“maybe it’s so pretty because it’s the lantern rite. or maybe it’s because you are alongside me on this fine night. but one thing i may have to say is that theres certainly no place like here.”

you smiled. you were glad shenhe liked it, you had planned this out for months, just waiting for the right day to give its chance. and it seemed it was that day- the same day as the glorious, big fireworks that happen every year go off.

“shenhe, you know the fireworks go off tonight, right?” you put a serving of tofu into your mouth, having bought a bag of almond tofu from a local vendor below. “i would’ve brought you to liyue city if the day wasn’t as gorgeous as it is now. i know you dislike crowded areas anyways, so this played well in our favor.”

she nodded, taking a seat on the cliffside. you crawled through the small patch of grass separating you from her, and took your seat right next to her. you offered her some tofu, which she accepted and slowly ate a piece before looking back out, the sky being a dark blue, reminding the world that the day doesn’t last forever.

after a few hours of either talking or just basking in each others presence, you saw the first gorgeous ray of pink fire, signaling the first firework has been shot off and the show has started. you felt like you had front row seats; though liyue was rather far from your current location, the fireworks were big enough and set off in an easily accessible place, even allowing people from dragonspine to see if they’re at a certain angle.

you felt shenhe sigh on your shoulder, wrapping an arm around your waist. you smile slightly, hugging her back, scooting back a bit as to not fall off the cliff.

you both watched the rest of the show, getting up and heading home when it was over. you genuinely had a fun time tonight, and though she didn’t show it, you could tell shenhe did too. what a life, you thought.

🐉Anon hereThe idea of big sis' Shenhe that li-Love-li brought up does get the gears of my thought-organ wirring with thoughts, questions and ideas.

Stuff like:I

f we were to be her bio-sibling, would we come from the same mother (and would that mean that Shenhe's pappy would attempt to sacrifice the sibling along with her? Which could be doubly fucked up, because Shenhe's sibling would probably only be a toddler at the oldest at that time, +that now could mean potentially 2 emotionally stunted and/or confused humans raised by the adepti), or would they be the child of another woman that Dadhe got with some time after he failed to bring his og wife back? Who Shenhe discovers the existence of later down the line (perhaps with the help of the Traveller and/or Chongyun)

I mean either way, it's +1 Auntie/Uncle for our boi Chongus!

Now that I think about it, wouldn't Chongyun referring to Shenhe as "Auntie" imply the existence of a blood-sibling? Or is it more of an honorary thing of a sort?

Another thought: since it is pretty reasonable to assume that Shenhe would be among the more protective sorts of older siblings, so Xingqiu better watch his ass, because something tells me Shenhe's gonna watching like a hawk around her sibling. [Name]'s gonna have to have a talk with big sis' before she ends up doing something that'll get the Qixing on them XD. Basically imagine her "About Xingqiu" voiceline, but with her sibling rather than the Traveller lol.

Shenhe: So… he was just joking with you?

[Name]: Yes.

Shenhe: …you are sure?

[Name]: Yep.

Shenhe: Absolutely certain?[Name]: Mhm.

Shenhe: How do you know he wasn't just hiding a threat behind honeyed words meant to make you lower your guard-

[Name]: SHENHE, YOU'RE OVERTHINKING IT!Shenhe: Am I-?

[Name]: Y E S !

Shenhe: …

[Name]: …

Shenhe: …okay.

^I could see a convo going somewhere along the lines of this.

Oh gods. Dude, assuming that Shenhe and her sibling were born from the same mother, and that their father also tries to sacrifice the siblingalong with her, imagine how much worse Shenhe's rage could be? Like, it's already bad enough in cannon that the adepti had to essentially emotionally numb her, now you add in the equation of a sibling who was put in that same, horrific situation…

I could see Shenhe's younger sibling also acting as a sort of emotional support, helping quell her homicidal thoughts when they are at their worst. Maybe they do carry a grudge towards their father for trying to offer them up to the remnants of an evil God, but maybe it's not as bad as Shenhe's, so they didn't need to be numbed like she did.

Honestly, there's a few potential routes that could be taken with older sibling Shenhe. Lots of possibilities of how the two's dynamic could be handled!

Ooooh, while we're on the topic, what do you think could be some potential vision options for the younger sibling? 🤔I could see maybe Pyro, as an opposite to Shenhe, perhaps showing how they might be a bit more in-touch with their emotoins than she may be, or perhaps Electro, as a representation of how outcasted they may feel due to how the people of Liyue near-comstantly mistake them for Adpeti (because that's an unusually common trait of many Electro vision holders have, being outcasts of a sort in someway, somehow).

hi dear!!!!!! hello!!!! @li-love-li look you are inspiring my anons hehe <33

THAT'S SOMETHING I WAS THINKING ABOUT and i think that is soo fucked up. but you know, if they were also sacrificed with her, i think shenhe would just be so impossibly protective of them as they are raised among the adepti. that's her baby sibling, man. she would sooner die than let them get hurt. and that second option!! i think that has its own appeals. i feel like shenhe would want to meet them. i'm not sure why? but i feel like she'd want to know them. and maybe they also had a rough relationship with dadhe, since he... you know. sacrificed his first child. he already doesn't seem like a particularly great dad based on that fact alone (but i haven't read shenhe's lore in a while, so perhaps he was decent before his wife died? or maybe he was always a poor dad idk. ultimately it's insane that he decided to LITERALLY SACRIFICE HIS CHILD PLEASEEE).

but that's so true! another auntie/uncle for chongyun, as he deserves <3

and, as for chongyun's referral to shenhe, i think it's a cultural thing actually. i could be wrong because i am not chinese and have never been anywhere near china as a whole, but i think it's culturally appropriate for younger boys to call older women auntie. in chongyun & shenhe's case specifically, i think it is also a matter of their closeness. i also don't think they are bio-related, rather, i think shenhe just took up the auntie role in his life. i could be wrong about that too LMAO but yeah!!

AND HELPPPP THAT'S SO REAL she's so protective.... it comes from a good place though!!!

and MAN she would be so furious, i think, as if she isn't angry enough already. i think thw adepti would be even more adamant on her wearing the red ropes because of her sibling. i think she would just feel an uncontrollable flood of emotions every time she looked at their scarred face. and it's not because she's mad at them, not at all! she just cannot fathom how their vile father took a look at their once-innocent face and decided to sacrifice them with her.

that's very true, though! i think they would be good at helping to keep her calm. and i feel like shenhe would harbor the majority of the rage. like. her younger sibling also cannot stand the thought of their dad, but is much calmer about it than shenhe is.

PYRO VISION [NAME] OHHHHH i love that.... shenhe, cryo user shenhe, who is cold and perhaps a bit standoffish to some even if that isn't how she wants to be seen. shenhe who cannot allow herself to feel her destructive emotions. shenhe who feels as if there is a layer of glass between her and the rest of the world... meanwhile [name], pyro user [name], who is warm and open and feels their emotions very deeply to the point where their core is shaken easily. [name] who is deeply connected with the world around them.

shenhe, whose pain pushed her away from the world, and [name], whose pain brought them closer to it.

i can see shenhe's baby sibling also being outcasted and misunderstood, but somehow, it feels so appealing to have them be even closer to the world because of their pain...... sobs

all of the potential routes are so interesting to explore <3
