HELLO THERE!! I have been reading your various creators (WHICH IS SO ADORABLE) I have an idea that i'd like to share with you :))
Imagine Hydra!creator, basically something like Osial. THEY'RE JUST LINGERING SOMEWHERE IN THE WATERS, probably in the waters of Liyue AND THEY MET THE CRUX.
Hydra!creator peaking through the waters and looked at Beidou and Kazuha, and have a staring contest. Beidou thought its just a huge sea serpent since the creator peaked with their main head only. Once hydra!creator warmed up to both of them and the crew THEN RISE INTO THEIR FULL HEIGHT AND FORM, welp thats a pretty big hydra we have there (flashback at Osial and Beisht)
Maybe Beidou would introduce us to Ningguang at some point? I could imagine Ningguang just questioning how many hydras are there. That was what she thought because of the two previous ones that attacked the harbour, until she realized hydra!creator is just some big water noodle. A big water noodle that'll help from the water. Helping the sailors and fishermen, when theres a storm, hydra!creator will guide them to the safety of Liyue's docks.
Sorry if these seems like a lot :"))
I remember getting this ask and reading through it and going “HOLY SHIT!!! TIME TO SPEED THROUGH TO THIS ONE!!!!!”
… I’m sorry it took so long to respond my dear anon ໒꒰ྀི ∩ ⸝⸝ ∩ ꒱ྀིა-
BUT YES!!!! WE NEED MORE MYTHICAL CREATURE!CREATORS HEHEHHEHEHEHEHE
*Glances back at my nine headed phoenix OC… looks away*
ANYWAY-
Big noodle!! Big ole water noodle!!! Just a big happy fella!!!!
I actually imagine you staring at a shell shocked Kazuha because “That’s a huge bitch-“
Anyway when you rise up the ship is on one of your heads. Naturally they attack but you just whimper and shake off the attack, looking hurt. Like a puppy.
They wouldn’t know how to feel.
All of Liyue goes into panic mode because they??? just dealt????with this?????
Nigguang and everyone else (I forgot who all helped-) goes out to attack again but you don’t attack, you just stare at them????
Someone jokingly throws a fish at you and yells catch and one of your heads do and another wiggles and delight and you just looks so genuinely happy to be there they can’t be mad at that face-
There’s a storm? Not anymore, you blew it away! Tsunami? Nu uh you drank it! Godly threat? You beat the shit out of it!~
(Zhongli is honestly happy they have another godly being to protect them because, while yeah they did beat Osial but like… it was super close-)
Imagine you can do the laser beam-
“Hey Raiden Shogun what’s that light coming from Liyue?”
“I don’t know let me see-“
*Gets fucking vaporized*
Lmao Childe on his knees wanting to fight and you just gently nudging him away with one of many snouts.
POV the world is your bath tub:
This is such a cute idea I-
IT COULD NEVER BE A LOT ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! <3
God you guys have such great ideas ૮꒰ ˶꒦ິ꒳꒦ິ˶꒱ა♡

SUGAR.
a/n “you’re the only one i want by my side when i fall asleep.”
warnings/tags how genshin men look out 4 you! pls don’t Flop i’ll cry (includes childe diluc zhongli xiao)
Tumblr media
CHILDE holds your hand tightly as he leads you through the crowd. it was unbelievable how packed the market was today. all he wanted was to get some fruit and stroll around the city—the weather was perfect. the sun was beating down on you both; you could almost feel the hot concrete through your slippers. ajax insisted you put on sunscreen, saying he doesn’t want you to get burns; dragging you to the bathroom while doing so. it seemed like he cared about your safety more than anything else—as soon as he got home, he had started to complain about how he forgot to put sunscreen on himself.
“ajax, stop moving around. you’re making this harder than it should be.”
“it hurts.” he frowns, sucking air through his teeth as the cold aloe vera lotion spread across his skin. you shook your head in annoyance.
“you were so obsessed with getting the sunscreen on me, now look at you.” he doesn’t take well to this, and you know because you look up and see his face; eyebrows furrowed and ears red from embarrassment.
“didn’t want you to get burned.”
so stubborn, you thought—but you can’t help but smile a little anyway.
DILUC is, naturally, a very busy man. there was a lot of work that he would need to get done, some taking hours to finish up. nevertheless, diluc ragnvindr would always find a way to take care of you, even when he’s piled with work. most nights, you finished work late—coming home to an empty house wasn’t the most pleasant idea to you. coming home later always meant that diluc would be waiting for you, calling out your name as soon as you step in.
the quiet air was not something you enjoyed. when you were at home, you’d often hear a pen scribbling because of diluc—even the most tiniest sound could calm you, knowing that he’s right there, even if he doesn’t speak at all.
you were puzzled as to why you didn’t hear a shout of your name as soon as the door opened. no greeting came, and you were a bit disappointed. why wasn’t he here? he’s always home before you.
suddenly, you heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and a familiar red-haired figure pops into the hallway. “y/n, hey, i’m so sorry. was in the shower.”
“don’t scare me like that. thought i was home alone,” you gave a sigh of relief, and diluc welcomes you home with a hug—as he always did.
“i’m never late to anything, y/n.” perhaps it’s the professional side of him speaking, though you can’t help but think something in his soft smile says otherwise.
ZHONGLI gets paranoid everytime you cook for him. would you burn yourself, spill oil everywhere? start a fire? he never knew with you. don’t get him wrong, it’s not that he thinks you can’t cook—he just doesn’t want you to get hurt. ever since that one fine evening two years ago (an incident you and your neighbours would rather forget), zhongli has never trusted you to be alone in the kitchen. he fries the eggs in the morning while the most he’d let you do is toast bread.
you find yourself craving a hot bowl of noodles, and zhongli doesn’t realise you’ve left your shared bedroom until he reaches for you in bed—no one.
you’re boiling a pot of water and you can hear rushed footsteps coming down the stairs, and when your boyfriend’s face appears in the kitchen doorway—you know you’re about to get a lecture. his nose is scrunched and his eyebrows are stern, and you think he looks adorable, despite the fact that as soon as he opens his mouth..
“didn’t i tell you to tell me if you’re going to cook?”
“it’s just hot water.”
“let me do it, okay? i’ll drain the noodles for you, then i’ll leave you be.” you know your boyfriend has your best interests at heart, no matter how paranoid he may be. you give up, stepping away from the stove; you can’t complain much anyway, he looks very handsome when he cooks. something about the way he holds chopsticks is very alluring.
XIAO holds your hand tight and walks you home, no matter where you are. if you sent him a text saying you were scared, he’d come running even if you were stuck in the middle of a deserted island. he never wants you to feel unsafe, and he does his best to be with you whenever you do feel unsafe. when you both are out on a date in the late hours of the night, he’s gripping your hand and holding you close—making sure nobody but him could get near. he makes sure you get home safe, watching you step into your house and closing the door before he makes his own way home.
“xiao, hey, i think you should go home. i can walk from here.” you tell him. he looked so tired, and you felt bad because all you did was drag him around the city today.
his eyes blinked slowly at yours, as if he was processing what you just said. it was 2 in the morning and you’re not sure if he was going to pass out.
“nah, i’ll walk you.” he insists, grabbing a hold of your hand and taking the lead—he knows your way home by heart now and he hates how it’s always so dark in your neighbourhood.
arguing with him is futile, most times. you choose to accept it, your boyfriend’s hands feel so warm—so safe and tight, as if he’d never let you go.
“okay.”

Pairing: Wanderer x Reader (gn)
Contents: established relationship; fluff; Wanderer uses demeaning names for Reader (but still loves them); soft Wanderer; bad at feelings Wanderer; consumption of fish
Word Count: 1.4k
Tumblr media
Scaramouche would have never imagined that he would be here.
Then again, there were many aspects of Wanderer's life that Scaramouche would have never imagined. Like this moment now, bustling around the tiny kitchen of a cozy apartment and impatiently glancing at the clock every few seconds. He stirs away at a bubbling pot of pasta to ensure it doesn’t burn on the bottom but remains warm enough to serve when you finally arrive.
Speaking of which where the fuck are you, you promised you’d be home early today— he had made sure of it before you left this morning. But’s already half past six and you’re usually home by six fifteen so you probably forgot and now his plans are ruined and—
The obnoxiously familiar jingle of keys followed by the squeak of the front door interrupts Wanderer’s thoughts. His shoulders slightly droop with relief as he turns off the stove bringing the pot over to the neatly arranged dining room table to finally plate the meal. 
“Took you long enough,” Wanderer says as if it were a proper greeting. And perhaps for him, it may as well be.
As usual, his sharp words fall off your back like water, much too used to his pissy attitudes by now, several years into knowing each other and nearly a year into a romantic relationship. 
“Sorry,” you huff out as you finally shrug the heavy tote bag off your shoulder. 
“I ran into Tigh on the way back from the market while I was picking up some new books,” you begin to explain as you shuffle into the dining area. 
“He said he was looking for spices Collei requested for her new recipe. Oh, have you ever had her pita pockets before? I know you’re picky about food but they’re actually really good and I think you– whoa … what is this? ”
Your story is cut short as you finally seem to take in the setting before you. As your eyes dart across the table your mouth falls open, appearance akin to that of a goldfish. If he weren’t so uncharacteristically nervous, Wanderer might have laughed at you for how dumb you look. 
But instead, he silently places the emptied pot in the sink, uncaring of the intimidatingly large pile of dirty dishes—he’ll get to those later. 
With quick strides, he returns to the dining table, taking a seat in front of one of the two plates of steaming rosé pasta, violet eyes seeming to glow in the dim candlelight as he shoots you an expectant look. 
“What does it look like, dumbass? It’s a candlelit dinner,” Wanderer sneers, “now hurry the fuck up and eat before it gets cold. I put a lot of effort in this shit, y’know.”
As Wanderer stabs a picks up a bundle of spaghetti noodles with his chopsticks you seem to finally regain your wits, forcing yourself to move and take a seat as you glance between the crystal vase at the center of the table, filled with deep red dendrobrium accented by thin branches of sakura bloom, the dancing flames of the osmanthus-scented candles placed strategically around the room, and the generous helping of what appeared to be cod roe pasta with rosé sauce plated on the finest china you two owned–a housewarming gift from Zhongli. It most certainly is the epitome of a candlelit dinner if anyone had ever seen one. 
Wanderer tries to look unaffected as he digs into his own dinner but he finds himself tensing as you promptly take your first bite. You hardly even chew it before your eyes close in bliss and you moan out words of praise that make his chest burn with something akin to pride. 
"Your cooking is always so amazing,” you proclaim.
"This is nothing special. Any fool could make a decent pasta," Wanderer shrugs off.
He hopes his ears don’t look as red as they feel as he hurriedly shovels more pasta in his mouth just to have something else to focus on. Praise was something he had always sought–whether from his creator or a nameless mass of devout followers. It made him feel powerful, above all others, like an archon .
And yet, somehow, praise from you felt completely different. Your praises sent a flutter through his chest cavity that he was sure should not be physically possible. Rather than feeling stronger than anyone else, your praises made him feel just strong enough . Just worthy enough to exist, to atone for his sins, to stand beside you. And he thinks the most disturbing part of it all is how satisfied he is with just that. A vengeful, artificial god who once dreamed of ruling all of Teyvat now equally happy just being by your side–what a strange joke.
"But," you hesitantly start, breaking Wanderer from his self-reflections, "what's all of this for?"
His reply is simple, "today is the day of that silly holiday mortals celebrated in your world, isn't it."
You nearly choke on a noodle at the implication.
“We're celebrating Valentine's Day ?"
Wanderer shoots you an annoyed glare at your incredulous tone before abruptly pulling away from the dining table and approaching your side instead. You’re still seated and gaping at him like an idiot with a pair of chopsticks in your hand, a clump of noodles limply hanging off of them. 
"Of course,” he answers smoothly, “we're a couple now, aren't we? And you're quite lucky because my generosity today does not end with dinner."
Wanderer kneels down on one knee before you, a sight no one in Teyvat or even worlds beyond could have ever imagined possible for the egotistical puppet obsessed with the notion of reaching godhood. 
But Wanderer was no longer that vengeful Balladeer anymore. He is merely a wanderer, living as a mortal alongside the person who was somehow able to capture his nonexistent heart and give his life a newfound meaning filled with simple joys he never thought possible. And now, he can only hope to return just a fraction of the happinesses you have given him in the form of a little black velvet box. 
You audibly gasp when he pulls the small box out of his pants pocket, holding it out in front of you and opening it to reveal a silver ring. In the center of the thin metal band sits a decently sized diamond, accented with small amethyst gems that sparkle under the flickering candle light and remind you of the eyes of the man himself.
"Before you get the wrong idea–this isn't a proposal or anything," Wanderer grumbles, avoiding eye contact as his cheeks flush.
"it's just…a placeholder. I'll give you the real one in a few years." 
The last part is mumbled in such a low tone you would have missed it had you not been seated right in front of him.
Slowly–just long enough to have Wanderer’s stomach churning with his anxiety and second-guessing his every decision–your brain catches up and a slow grin splits across your face.
"Thank you, Kuni... it's beautiful," you whisper, eyes watery.
The use of his original names seems to amplify the intimacy of the moment. Wordlessly, Wanderer stands from his kneeled position, plucking the small piece of jewelry from the box and taking your hand with an unexpected gentleness. 
He slides the cool metal on your finger—the fourth finger of your left hand. 
For a moment, you both admire it in awe. He can’t help the first thought that pops into his head, the thought that it suits you. 
Like was always meant to be there. 
Like how he was always meant to be here, with you.
"I love you," you murmur. 
When he turns to look at you, he finds you already staring up at him, all soft smiles and twinkling eyes, as if he had personally hung the moon in the sky. As if he was the most important person in your world. As if his worth far exceeds anything he was created for and anything he imagined for himself thereafter. 
Wanderer doesn't say anything but he firmly squeezes your hand and brushes his thumb against the new ring on your delicate finger.
A placeholder.

ANOTHER ONE
like the ::shrug:: one this hitted me randomly and also finally i know how to use that chain thing
what if:
God!reader can transform/or shapeshift into the characters true form,
example:
Xiao = The birb [alatus]
Ganyu = Big cloud goat
Zhongli = Big noodle dragon
Yae Miko = Fluffy fux
Venti = Wind spirit
Albedo/Rubedo = Durin. idk if that counts
or maybe characters pets/or companion,

Sangonomiya Kokomi water fsh
Amber's baron bunny
Gouba :D
Oz , reveal thyself!
Sayu's burst : Muji-Muji Daruma

『 The Museum 』
✧ Zhongli x y/n
✧ Fluff & a teeny bit of angst
✧ Modern au
It was a Friday night. Just got home from work. I was one of the assistants of the Liyue Qixing. I felt so drowsy that I wanted to sleep for days. Had to work overtime because of a delayed meeting. I probably should take a shower, then go to sleep. Ah, and tomorrow is my 'museum date' with Zhongli. Better set my alarm to 8.30am so that I won't wake up too late.
I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower before going to sleep. I could see the visible dark circles under my eyes. How many days have I gone with such little sleep? I don't remember, I lost track... I had to take many cups of coffee every night I had to work overtime. By the time I was finished, I reached home at about midnight and I had to go to work at 6 and that's all without eating a proper 3 meals a day. Most I get is a half meal. There are no restaurants near my office, very inconvienient. Had to go to places by car. Traffic jam everywhere during lunch hours giving me only less than 15 minutes to eat and that includes ordering food. I usually take the food back to the office with me but I rarely get the chance to finish it all. Work-life balance they said. I often sleep after a supper of instant noodles, my saviour. Its unhealthy, I know, but there wasn't any other option. I turned the water heater on and took a quick shower without washing my hair. After my shower, I got changed into my pajamas. I dragged myself to my room, eyes half lidded. My room was just like a mini library but with a bed, 2 wooden bedside tables and a wardrobe. There was a window beside my left bedside table, giving me the not-so-pleasant view of the dark alleyways. My whole room was decorated to have a library aesthetic like the library in the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt. I made sure the air conditioning in my room was cool enough, switched off the lights and tucked myself into bed. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep. The sound of cars passing by, the subtle whir of the air conditioner fan, was like a lullaby to me. I fell asleep not long after...
--------
I woke up to the buzzing of my phone's alarm. 8.30am. I felt like I wanted to sleep more but I knew I shouldn't. I reluctantly got out of bed and went to wash up. The soft tapping of the rain made me want to sleep for some more but I made sure I didn't. I had to leave at about 9am in order to make it to the museum by 10am. The museum only took 15 minutes to reach on foot but I should arrive early in case there would be some unforseen circumstances.
I went to check my phone on the bedside table. Emails from work, 5000 steps...ah! Zhongli's message!
Today
Unread messages
————————————————
Zhongli:
Hello, y/n. Are you awake?
Sorry to disturb... 😅 8.00am ✓✓
Would you like to have breakfast
at a café nearby the tea house? 8.02am ✓✓
Me:
Hi, Zhongli, sorry for the late reply.
Just woke up. 8.35am ✓✓
reply to Would you....
╰┈➤ Yea, that sounds nice~ 8.35am ✓✓
Zhongli:
There aren't many people at this hour. 8.35am ✓✓
Me:
I should be ready by 9. 8.36am ✓✓
Zhongli:
Do you know the café? I can send the location to you if you need it. 8.36am ✓✓
Me:
Yeah, I've been there before.
Starry Café right? 8.36am✓✓
Zhongli:
See you there then. 8.36am ✓✓
Me:
See you :D 8.37am ✓✓
___________________________________________
My hair still messy, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of warm water. My half opened eyelids squinted to pour the warm water into a small glass. I got changed to the same clothes I wore last week to the tea house. All my other clothes were in the washing. I combed my hair neatly and placed a brown, velvet beret on my head. It was about 8.45 after I got dressed. I headed out of the apartment and went to the café. It wasn't far from here but about 5 to 10 minutes away on foot. I walked past the boutiques, flower shops, restaurants... I could see the café from a few blocks away. I wondered if Zhongli had arrived yet?
I opened the door and heard the subtle ding of the bell amidst the sound of cars passing by. I saw Zhongli at the right end of the café, he waved to me. I walked over to his table. It was a table for two. He was wearing an ivory black turtleneck under a brown trench coat and a pair of black slacks. He hasn't ordered anything yet.
"Here's the menu. What would you like to eat?" He questioned.
"Mmm, I would take a croissant and a cafe latte."
"I will go to the counter and order then."
The food came not long after. I got my awaited croissant and cafe latte. Zhongli got was the cafe's breakfast set. It looked like a lot but he finished it in no time. I took a look at the time on my phone. 9.30am.
"We finished breakfast but it's only 9.30am."
"The walk from here to the museum should be around 15 to 20 minutes."
"Maybe we can have a little chat while we're at it, haha."
We left the café and went to the museum. There were a lot of fancy boutiques in this area but most of the clothes are too expensive for me to afford. There were some autumn trees planted by the curb of the roadside. We walked on the left side of the road. I glanced to my left. Zhongli's coat resembled a billowing cape, the features on his face, angular and sharp. The wind running through his long, amber brown hair like a dragon's tail. The autumn leaves floated in the air as gusts of wind puffed in and out.
"Y/n, is anything the matter?"
Oh shoot, did I look for too long? I could feel my face reddening out of embarrassment. Uh, I should just, brush it off. TOTALLY NOTHING HAPPENED...
"Ah, i-it's nothing..."
I automatically turned away and looked to anywhere but him. How could I make myself calm down. I focused on the museum up ahead. It was very...square. Looked like a giant box of chocolates. We arrived in front of the museum. It's facade of wooden details carved into its walls, fine and intricate. As we entered through the large doors, we were greeted with a towering, bronze statue of Rex Lapis. I looked up in awe. The line for the Ancient Liyue Relics exhibit was nearly empty. We got entry tickets in no time.
When we entered the exhibit, there were many relics from the time of the Archon War and The Great Cataclysm. I was intrigued by the brown, square cup inside one of the glass casings. It was said that Morax used to bring those cups during every reunion of the gods and adepti of Liyue. The geo symbol on the cup looked identical to that of Zhongli's iris.
--------
'Morax, why do you keep bringing those square cups? We already have enough teacups to go around'
'I guess he just likes anything square'
Everyone burst into laughter. Today was one of the reunions among us adepti, and one of the happiest as well. Marchosius brought a lot of food this time. I wasn't sure if we could finish it all. I felt quite full already. Little Ganyu eats a lot. She is so cute and chubby I wish I could just pinch those cheeks! The weather is rather nice, its cooling and a bit cloudy. If only everyday was like this...
--------
Was I an adeptus in a previous life? Wait...that child with horns looked familiar...THAT'S MISS GANYU, ONE OF MY SUPERIORS! Couldn't believe she looked that cute as a child. From hearsay, my colleagues said that she was about 3000 years old. And Zhongli was holding this exact cup. No, this had to be a coincidence.
"Y/n? You look puzzled"
He crossed his arms and leaned against the glass casing, looking at me with curious eyes. I hoped that thing doesn't break.
"Probably because I never seen this before"
I gave out a nervous laughter. Zhongli had an odd resemblance to Morax, the square teacups were similar to that in the exhibit. I turned to my right and saw a painting. An interpretation of the adepti's reunion perhaps? It looked similar to the 'flashback' I received.
"That painting was painted a long time ago. Even the Liyue Qixing have a hard time dating back this painting."
"Ooh, this painting does looks accurate though"
"Accurate? How so?"
"A-Ah, a slip of tongue. I meant amazing, yes. Amazing."
"Oh, I see..."
Zhongli's pov
Y/n is being awfully suspicious. She talked about that painting as if she had seen it in real life. How would she know anything about it? There is very little known information other than myths passed on by elders.
Y/n's pov
I walked past the square cup to see the cleansing bell being kept in the same type of glass casing as well. I could hear a lovely melody play in my head. It sounds better than that of the renowned composers.
--------
"True music is an expression of the soul, not from some mechanism, Guizhong."
"Dear Ping, my cleansing bell is on par to human composers. Some say my cleansing bell is superior."
"Morax, you have to put an end to this petty argument. It has dragged on for far too long."
Morax and Cloud Retainer made a verdict from a hilltop not far from us. He confiscated my cleansing bell. My cleansing bell. He designated it for ceremonial use so that Streetward Rambler and I would stop arguing over some 'petty belief'. I have taken my concentration to a new invention, the Obscuro Vulpes Mechanism!
--------
The Obscuro Vulpes Mechanism looks like the real-life version of the Guizhong Ballista taken straight out from a history textbook. I think I would have a hard time pronouncing that. And the famed Cloud Retainer in human form?! This was too much for me to digest in one sitting.
Zhongli's pov
Y/n looks more confused now. She shook her head multiple times. I wonder what was going on inside that head of hers. She hasn't asked me anything since we entered the exhibit. Her reaction was not quite what I expected. Sigh Looking at these 'relics' reminds me of the good old days... Residing in the Guili Assembly, overlooking a field of glaze lilies with Guizh- Lover's...Oath?
Y/n's pov
I haven't heard this piece before. It sounds comforting and soothing to the ears. But who in their right mind would sneak a guzheng into a museum exhibit? I doubt security didn't notice someone dragging a big wooden thing into a state of the art museum.
"Zhongli, what is this piece? I haven't heard this before."
"It is one of Liyue's classical pieces, also happens to be my favourite one of all."
"I don't think it's from the sound system. Sounds like someone is playing a guzheng. I think it comes from further inside the exhibit."
Out of curiosity, I followed the footsteps of the melodious tune and found an old lady playing the guzheng in front of a painting of a glaze lily field.
--------
It was the first night of Lantern Rite and people sent lanterns to the sky. The dark sky illuminated with a warm glow. Morax and I were watching from a field of glaze lilies nearby Guili Assembly. We were having a 'picnic' or so called, by mortals. I brought a basket of lotus paste mooncakes to eat. Zhongli brought a freshly brewed pot of osmanthus tea. I could hear a sweet sounding tune coming from the direction of Guili Assembly but I didn't know who played it.
"A toast to a prosperous new year" Zhongli raised his cup.
I raised by cup and took a sip. The osmanthus tea was calming and soothing to the senses. I felt like I could fall asleep there and then. I wish for a prosperous new year as well.
--------
That was... Lantern Rite... What's with me and glaze lilies? That music, it sounds similar to what that old lady is playing. I watched as she rhythmically plucked the strings of the guzheng, it tells a story for itself.
Zhongli's pov
This old tune makes me want to reminisce about her. After all those years, her death still haunts my soul.
-------
"Guizhong, no... no..."
She laid in my arms, knowing that her return to the dust was nearing.
"Morax, promise me this... that you will continue to live a full, prosperous life as the Archon of geo and become a god that the people of Liyue will look up to in the many years to come." She said with tears on the verge of escaping her glass-like eyes.
"I will..."
She gave a soft grin, cupping my face with her frail hands.
"Always remember that wherever I will be...I love-" Her last words got cut off. She turned to stone right before my very eyes... I shook her stone body, hoping she would wake up. Her lifeless body, giving me the most loving smile in all of Teyvat...
"GUIZHONG, WAKE UP! Please...stay with me..." I was in shock that she just died. She was dead. No, this couldn't be happening, no, no....
I hugged her for the last time. The glaze lily I gave her was still in her hair.
"Guizhong...I love you too..." I whispered into her ear as tears flooded my eyes. I cried out to the heavens, hoping they'd bring her back...
I got up in front of Guizhong's lifeless, stone body. Bowing to pay my respects.
"Take the people south, we will set up a new city. It is far too dangerous to stay here."
I held back the last of my tears. I had to lead the people of Liyue to a safer place, where they will prosper for a long time. The remaining adepti and I took the people to the coastline of Liyue, south of Guili Assembly. Guili Assembly is no more. All that is left of it was the ruins of our past and the joyful memories of old.
--------
Someone's pov
I looked up from my guzheng after I finished playing. Morax and Guizhong? Wait...GUIZHONG???
"Guizhong...is that you, perhaps?"
Y/n's pov
Me? Guizhong? Who even is Guizhong? These 'memories' were so confusing. I didn't remember any of these and they didn't look like they were in Liyue Harbour.
"I'm not sure, maam"
"Oh, you remind me greatly of her, haha. Our bickering about opinions of music... the small little things in life might be the ones you appreciate most..."
She spoke with the wisdom of millenias of knowledge. I got another sudden 'flashback'. I didn't know what they were about. It was just so chaotic. Everything happened too fast. I couldn't understand the context of it. A lot of people were crying, then it all fades to black...
"Y/n, are you okay? You seem deep in thought."
"I'm fine...but..."
"'But' what?"
"Who is this 'Guizhong'? I kept getting these weird 'flashbacks' where people kept calling me 'Guizhong'. Zhongli, you were there as well, or some who looks like you." I hesitated to continue. What if he thought I was crazy?
"'Guizhong' hmmm? You said I was there as well..."
"Yeah! There was one where a lot of people stood in a circle around me, crying. You were the one closest to me, you called me 'Guizhong' as well."
"What else do you remember?"
"Mmm, there was one where we sat in a field of glaze lilies watching the lanterns float up during Lantern Rite. You also tucked a glaze lily into my hair, you smile was as sweet as a plate of almond tofu."
"Guizhong passed away many many years ago...but I do miss her."
"Wait...so you're saying that YOU ARE MORAX, THE ARCHON OF GEO?!"
"Hush, no one else should know. The lady that played the guzheng there is a fellow adpeti, Madame Ping, as you might know her."
"Ping? ... The one I argued with about music?"
"After all these years, we meet again, old friend."
"So, who was Guizhong, Zhongli?"
"Guizhong was our friend and fellow adepti also know as Haagentus, Lord of The Dust, ironically. I suppose you do have some recollection of her memories."
"So, basically speaking, I am Guizhong?"
"Her reincarnation probably."
I tried to process this information. That I was a reincarnation of a god. A god. Was it fate that led me to him? Me, a god. How could that be possible? I was still shocked, blankly staring into the painting of glaze lilies. I still couldn't imagine this. Like it all wasn't real yet so realistic. Even if I was a god, I'm no longer one, I'm just a mere human now...
"Was all that hard to digest? You look stunned."
"Maybe we could talk it over a cup of tea." I chuckled. "I still wondered how you managed to sneak in a guzheng almost as tall as you into a museum exhibit, Madame Ping."
"People won't notice an old lady like me, but a someone playing the guzheng in a museum exhibit is truly something out of the ordinary."
"Will I regain all of her memories?"
"Eventually, maybe."
Me. An actual god. I mean a reincarnation of one but close enough. When I was in highschool, I remember that one of the history lessons taught about the Archon War. There was a god that died, I suppose that was me? It didn't give much detail on it, I think I forgot most of it. I wonder how must it have been to live as a god residing in the Guili Assembly. When would I regain all my memories? Maybe I should go somewhere to trigger it? Or look at something like the square cups? How would my parents feel? That their daughter was a reincarnation of a god. Would they be proud of me or disown me as a lunatic? Did the heavens take pity on us and reincarnate me thousands of years later? Was I really a god? Or was I imagining it all? I could tell, really. I would let time show me the rest.

Zhongli x Childe | A Short Story
Zhongli and Childe were strolling across the Liyue waterfront. They went for a nice walk as the sun sank. Childe began to feel hungry and begged Zhongli to find somewhere to eat. Dragging Zhongli down the street until they came to a halt. The incredible aroma emanating from Wanmin Restaurant makes Childe's mouth water. "I'm so hungry I could devour the whole house," Childe exclaims gleefully. "Alright, fine, we'll stop for a quick bite to eat," Zhongli murmurs. Zhongli and Childe take a seat on several rickety wooden stools.
Zhongli gets them two ramen bowls, dumplings on the side. "Uhh, Zhongli… I don't know how to use chopsticks," Childe expressed with concern. Chef Mao arrived with two scorching hot bowls of ramen before Zhongli could even respond. "Enjoy your food, you two, I need to go buy some more supplies. I'll be back soon!" Chef Mao yells as he walks out of the restaurant. The door slams shut behind Mao, leaving them alone.
Childe becomes increasingly flirtatious with Zhongli. Childe clasps Zhongli's hand, intertwining fingers. Zhongli flushes and withdraws. "What are you doing?" Zhongli asks bashfully. Childe laughs it off and then tries eating with chopsticks. "Need some assistance there, darling," Zhongli says as he delicately grips Childes' hand and guides the noodles into his mouth. Childe swallows the noodles while looking into Zhongli's eyes. "You are very gorgeous," Childe says as he leans in for a kiss. Their lips softly touch one another as Zhongli wraps his arms around Childe's waist, drawing him closer.
Childe, being the guy he is, snatches a dumpling and stuffs it into Zhongli's mouth. 'I can always count on you to sabotage the moment," Zhongli laughs as he kisses Childe on the cheek. The two lovers finish their dinners before returning to the streets of Liyue.

Beisht is like a cool water dragon thing while Osial looks like a bundle of 5 uncut penises with moustaches.
Sometimes I wonder what did Beisht see in his husband?
Then there's Zhongli's exuvia, I call it the jajangmyeon noodle but with puffy hair 🍜😌👌
-🍷
XD
Aren't you the most creative Little Lamb? I'm sure Mr Zhongli would appreciate your sense of humour 🤭 I sure do! 😂
Well, technically, they're both gigantic monsters so, maybe the sparks of love just fly naturally between them?
I don't know much about being a monster though, EHE 😅 unless you don't give me food. Yes, then I MIGH BE the most terrifying one out there.

Modern au. Reader sending no0ds to genshin men (diluc, zhongli) lol
*slowly disappeared*
bark bark grr i love this. i recognize your modern au and raise you an office au.
Tumblr media
εϊз … pairings: diluc, zhongli, ayato + sub ! f ! reader (separate) εϊз … notes: mean dom ayato is so cute <33, office au and modern au. εϊз … cws: sending noodles. exhibitionism. public sex. masturbation mentions. degradation. sub ! reader. spanking + clit slapping (ayato). allusions to brat reader / brat taming if you squint.
Tumblr media
reader works in an office overrun with men, one of whom you've been seeing for a while. wanting to see how flustered you could make him during a meeting, you shot him a text containing rather suggestive image you'd take of yourself. let's see how he reacts...
❀⊱┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄⊰❀
the picture has the desired effect on DILUC. his face turns the same shade as his hair and he shifts in his seat. he ends up making enough of a scene for others to question if he was feeling okay, to which he just responded that it would pass in a mere moment. you suggested he perhaps step outside for a moment, to catch some air and maybe grab a glass of water, though he refused a little bit too quickly. if the man was to get up, everyone in the room would see his stiff cock bulging against the constricting fabric of his dress pants. the initial shock took a good twenty minutes to wear off - the image of your lithe fingers spreading the lips of your drooling cunt, putting yourself on display for him was etched into the poor man's eyelids. after the meeting was over, expect to be called into his office. he'll be sure to make you deal with the problem you'd created and would be mean about it, stuffing your throat with his length. if you tried to play with yourself while he used your mouth, diluc would simply slap your hand away.
"think you deserve to cum after pulling a stunt like that? stupid slut,"
❀⊱┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄⊰❀
ZHONGLI would be much calmer. his eyes would darken at the image of your plump tits, drool coating the pretty flesh. he's a master of maintaining a stoic façade. the man ensured his screen was positioned in such way that none of his coworkers could see your exposed body as he replied with a lewd text detailing the things he planned to do to you once the meeting was adjourned. zhongli is most certainly a man of his word, so you followed him into his office afterwards. he teased you, making you beg for his thick cock as he sat stroking himself. degrading words would fall from his lips, reminding you how much of a whore you were for sharing those pictures and how dumb it was, as anyone could have seen them. but you wanted that, didn't you? for everyone to see what a pretty little cumslut you were? no matter how much you tried to deny it, the way zhongli pushed you against the glass walls of his office and pulled your clothes from your body. your pretty tits were mushed against the cold glass for the rest of the office to see. you didn't know that the walls had recently been replaced with one way glass, though there were very few thoughts passing through your mind as you were fucked dumb on zhongli's cock.
"you like being on show like this, don't you? show them how well i fuck your tight cunt, hmm?"
❀⊱┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄⊰❀
what part of you thought it would be a good idea to send such a thing to AYATO? he was a mean, mean dom who made sure that you stuck to his rules. messing around with him at work was most certainly breaking one, and he certainly didn't remember giving you permission to touch yourself, yet the video you had sent him of your fingers pumping in and out of your soppy hole seemed recent. he'd ignore you and your message, seeing if he could push you to further disobey him. (which you did, sending more lewd images that you had of yourself.) after the meeting, ayato would waste no time getting you alone. expect to be bent over his knee as he pulled down your panties, the flat palm of his hand colliding with you pretty ass. he would not stop until tears pricked your eyes and you couldn't stop spewing apologies. he'd only offer harsh, degrading words as he would bring his nimble fingers between your folds, mocking you for getting to wet just from him hitting you. you hid your head in the crook of his neck, sobs and moans muffled by his skin. any comfort you felt was gone as ayato pinched at your puffy clit, making you squeal in response. your body trembled as he abused the swollen bud, other arm keeping you caged to his chest. pained cries didn't stop the man's assault on your slutty cunt. he drew back his hand, leaving you whining at the loss of contact, only for him to place a few harsh slaps to your clit.
"good whores know their place. maybe if you listened, i wouldn't have to punish you, darling."

oooo can you do Hcs if our boys Diluc, Zhongli, Childe and Kaeya turned into a small animal for a day (could be based off their canon constellations or whatever ahah)? Like idk just imagine Zhongli turning into like a cute baby dragon/noodle-y lizard or Diluc becoming a ball shaped owl or eagle LOL. This can be both safe and non sfw ~
Congratulations to you for being our first ask~! We’ll do our best to serve. We are really excited to write this one, we were just thinking about things to write and then you popped outta nowhere with this amazing ask, brain go boom~ Enjoy your day with a bunch of feral animals, Lady Myrx - Mod Kaeya/Diluc
Tumblr media
A Day In The Life Of ...
|| Head Cannons ||
We really wanted to stick to the constellation idea but with Childe that was a bit hard... considering his is like a fish/whale. So we thought about it and the only small critter we could pair with him was a ferret. I hope this will suffice. - Mod Diluc
Childe
Tumblr media
How did he end up as a ferret today? No idea. Does he even care? Mmh... not really. He's found out that being a ferret has its pros surprisingly.
Scaring you awake for a first was the highlight of his entire day tbh.
The way you reacted when he kept licking your nose hearing you giggle 'Childe' under your breath.
Only to then scream when you opened your eyes to be greeted to a small ferret sat ontop your chest STARING at you.
You'll be spending all day trying to figure out how this happened?
But he will make it impossible for you to actually find any clues or evidence- he doesn't want this to end dammit.
Getting strokes and pets from the lovely ladies in Liyue when he does a small turn or lifts onto his back legs. Heaven <3
Running into the restaurants and kitchens stealing food and being chased out with name-calling ensue.
Rodent!
Vermin!
Music to his ears. Oh also you can bet you're his get out of trouble free card.
Scampering back to you and climbing up your leg till you hold him toward your chest.
He doesn't mind being there one bit either.
You'll be spending the day saying sorry to many angry shop keepers and chefs. Apologising on your 'dumb pet ferrets' behalf.
Eventually you'll tire yourself out from trying to get him to sit still for one minute to help figure out this crazy conundrum.
Because he's far too busy being the nightmare pest to Liyue right now.
He'll enjoy making you chase him only to squeeze himself under heavy objects that he knows you'll struggle to lift.
At one point he'll just completely dip.
Leave you outside looking for him while he gets comfy in your panties in your drawer.
Also you just know when he does wake he'll make you know exactly where he's been.
You'll see him in the hallway of your house with a pair of panties in his mouth. Just standing there.
He can't do it but you know he's smirking like a little shit to himself right now.
However when it gets late and you can't stand up anymore from having to deal with a demon in a ferret body all day he'll eventually give in.
The night will come to an end with you laying in bed with him coiled up into a tight ball on your lower abdomen.
Don't deny it. He's adorable as a ferret and that moment will declare it official 100%.
However what's more precious is when you wake up the next morning to him still curled into a ball but he's beside you in bed naked and very much human again.
You take great joy in waking him up by throwing water over him that morning and hearing him scream instead of you.
You still love him though and he'll never stop loving you <3
Tumblr media
Diluc
Tumblr media
Why is he an owl? How does he fix this immediately?
He will not enjoy this freak occurrence one bit.
He has evil to crush and innocence to protect. How's he suppose to do that as a tiny owl?
It doesn't help his humiliation either that you're just constantly going 'Awe' and 'Omg' to every movement he does.
He will randomly flap his wings out a lot. As if to shrug or try cross his arms but he keeps forgetting they're wings now...
Once you're finally over the attack of cuteness you'll sit down with several books on all sorts of magic and mystery to try help decipher this.
He will for sure sit on your shoulder. Just perch there while leaning down to also read the books along side you.
He really wants to be human again. Please help him.
Every small noise around him will result in his head doing the full 180⁰ head spin that owls do.
He is literally a fat feathery potato right now with bright red eyes. He looks kinda demonic ngl.
But the fact you know he's so embarrassed and humiliated over the situation just makes him so cute!
If Kaeya shows up DO NOT TELL HIM THE OWL IS DILUC.
Diluc may consider suicide if you do.
The nonstop teasing and ruthless bullying that will come from Kaeya is inhuman.
"Wow Diluc you took being the nocturnal type a bit too seriously huh?"
If he doesn't commit suicide he'll definitely commit murder when he's human again. So just don't let Kaeya find out.
You'll hear a lot of people questioning why you suddenly have a pet owl. And when people ask you'll have to sputter out half arsed excuses.
"A gift for Diluc."
"It was injured and I'm helping it."
People will ask alot if they can stroke it and even though you know Diluc is screaming no you'll say yes.
You'll have to stifle your laughter when you see his podgy unamused owl face being squatted down by pets on the head.
If you keep taking the piss however he will eventually peck your ear. Just bite it. Hard.
Make you squeak and apologise to him.
Despite being given a once in a life time chance to FLY he just WON'T.
He'll remain on your shoulders the whole day. He doesn't want to go anywhere like this. Just make him human again already.
However as night approaches and it's clear there is no resolve to his problem he'll reluctantly give in.
You won't even know it but you'll pass out searching through the books trying so hard to help him.
He's totally not gonna then chose to fly in the night sky to find a pretty windwheel aster to leave on your window ledge to wake up too.
His way of thanking you for trying so hard all day to help him even if it does end with fruitless results.
He fall asleep perched at the bottom of the bed. Looking like a fluffy ball with a face and nothing else from how round he is.
When the morning does arrive and he wakes up to his human self again he's actually gonna be smiling like a maniac.
And if he's with you he's gonna get lost in his glee and lift you up and twirl you like a princess.
Before clearing his throat and putting you down and going back to his nonchalant ways.
His face bright red however as... yes... he did just pick you up and twirl you round while he's stark naked.
Time to find his clothes ASAP.
Tumblr media
Kaeya
Tumblr media
Aight, first thing he's gonna do is discover that peacocks can scream because he certainly is on the inside
You know that video of that seagull screaming?
Yeah that's him when he first finds out
But after you manage to help him calm down he's...pretty chill honestly
He gets to just vibe perched somewhere high, eat and sleep all day while everyone else rushes about and figure out what's wrong? fuck yes
Peakaeya is gonna be roosting on the shelves above your desk, the door frame and frantically tip tapping after you as you run errands around Mondstat without so much as a care in the world
Let's get this straight alright if one thing about Peacocks is known it's that they're drama queens so this is like normal Kaeya ramped up to about a 10. If you so much as deny him a rice grain he's gonna get pouty and act all cute and sad for pets
Just tease human Kaeya about it later for revenge it's alright we know you want to
He's gonna present
A lot
Because he's a massive flirt and now he can lay into people without having any consequences and make their day while he's at it
Especially you, especially to interrupt you while you're scolding him because his feathers are gorgeous and the fucker knows how to work them to his advantage
The one place I wouldn't recommend taking him to is DIluc's for obvious reasons
It's going to end in a fight or at the very least customer's mugs and glasses being kicked to high heaven by a mischievous little fowl with claws the length of your finger
God forbid he tries to peck someone's eyes out after they make a comment
So yeah no just don't take him to the tavern, if you do leave him outside and ignore the screaming Peacock staring through the window so intently at the back of your head you're starting to get freezer burn
If you can't find him he's probably posing dramatically on the Anemo Archon statue or in the courtyard by the Knights' HQ, there I just saved you 2 hours
When it comes to bed time he's gonna find all your clothes and make a little nest out of them on your window sill and brood there until he falls asleep
Thankfully he didn't fall off it in the middle of the night but the sight of a naked Kaeya leaning against the wall under your window is uh
Pretty interesting
Tumblr media
Zhongli
Tumblr media
Well this was a predicament
Being a gecko was hardly one of the first forms he would've chosen to shift into, especially considering his retirement but he couldn't seem to shift out of it so guess he's stuck with it
You know it was him from the first second you saw him perched next to his cup of tea looking confused
The lil horns and whiskers gave him away
He's gonna do a cute little tail wiggle every time he notices you looking at him, he can't control it it just happens
When you do manage to get a brush and ink geck-Li just sticks his whole paw in the ink and writes to communicate that way but the letters come out so botched you can't even tell what word he's trying to write you just know it is infact A Language and that it is A Word
Don't worry about it too much since he's used to existing as small creatures
He may waddle back and forth across your desk as you work
He doesn't really know what to do with himself, I mean he's tiny right now so he can't exactly give you his usual lectures or aid
If you need to leave just put him in your breast pocket and he'll go along for the ride but he wants to keep near you
You'll feel him shift around don't worry he's just napping or moving to hang his for legs out of your pocket so he can see what's happening
Boop him and watch his eyes go wider than you've ever seen them
He'll also follow your finger even to the point he's crosseyed
Mlem
In the event someone sketchy comes up to you he just screams
It'd be adorable if not for how horrific it sounded? You didn't know what dinosaurs sounded like but you're pretty sure they'd sound like whatever the fuck kind of noise he'd managed to produce when a particular bold treasure hoarder tried to get you to join them
How was he so loud??
And defensive???? He tried to bite a shop owner when he moved to fast helping you pick up some chilis
Though when he spaces out and licks his eye it's pretty cute
It's honestly eye opening seeing him like this...it's like you know him better
Bedtime means he's going to just starfish on his pillow and I mean his pillow because somehow he takes up all of the space on it and no no you cannot take it back from his tiny little gecko paws
Waking up, he’s missing and there's a note on your bedside thanking you for taking care of him
He did wake up stark naked with his arms wrapped around you but he felt that was vastly inaproriate, so he got dressed as quickly as he could and left a note
A couple days later when you visit him in Liyue with a new gecko pet (a species named after Rex Lapis as it so happens) he can't help the small smile that graces his lips

Scaramouche Swimming Date: https://explicitred.tumblr.com/post/668116744078032896/scaramouche-swimmingpool-headcanons-male
Oh-ho-ho? Are you ready to swim? Because be prepared! It’ll be fun with Childe around!☺️😊
(And yes I know that it's currently almost winter but I have no more story ideas lmao)
-I’ll be honest, Childe was TOO excited it freaked his co-workers out.
-Sure, he is always smiling and happy. But Childe’s way too happy right now, even for him to manage usually.
-The 11th Fatui Harbinger adored you very much, so much that Childe was dancing and singing in the Palace...? Damn. That's a whole new level lmao
-Scaramouche and Signora became overly annoyed at Childe with his constant voice roaming around the place.
-Alright, it was now 2 PM. Time to go to the destined destination and do Mission B: Make this swimming date a good one!
You sighed as you received yet another letter from a Fatui Skirmisher.
All the recent letters you have received were complaints from Scaramouche and Signora about Childe, telling you how they wish they could've burned him; as a result of their annoyance. And how you should've invited them (individually) instead, as well as going as far as listing a bunch of reasons on why they would've been better.
You knew that they both also had a crush on you, along with the other harbingers. Of course, if you weren't a Fatui Harbinger as well... How would you have “spied” on them and known of this quickly?
Suddenly, you then heard loud footsteps that came eagerly.
“Hello, comrade! How are you doing?” Childe exclaimed in delight that he was here earlier than he had been expecting.
‘Pat on the back Ajax!’ Childe thought to himself, as his grin developed wider.
“Ah, hello Childe. I'm doing good, thank you for asking.” You nodded and replied calmly.
His eyes moved from your face to the dozens of letters in your hands.
“Oh? Comrade, what are those letters about?” He questioned curiously.
“Letters from Signora and Scaramouche; about how annoying you were at the palace.” You nonchalantly said, as if it was a casual everyday thing.
Childe smiled lightly and droplets of sweat suddenly appeared out of nowhere, on the right side near his forehead.
“Well, never mind that. Let's enjoy our time here.” You said, as you finally ended the conversation.
-You guys would have a luxury time, I mean- you both are Fatui Harbingers after all.
-There’d be pool noodles, drinks, snacks, etc. Heck, even large duck floaties because why not
-You both will occasionally splash water at each other, and create “tornadoes” with your arms, spinning with your body.
-Of course, water gun fights are a must for Childe.
(I also would like some watermelon after swimming, thanks 👀✨)
-Hand-feeding each other snacks? Sure 🥺
-Of course, if you both have washed your hands first and all that.
-Then you allow Childe to be hand-fed by you while he blushes brightly and grins
-You both would be relaxed, sitting or still in the pool while telling each other stories
-Everything has been going great so far 🥰❤️
-After the fun swimming day, you both would be in a blanket all cozy and warm, watching a movie relaxed. 😌 😗
-Today had been a peaceful and fun day; if it had not been for Signora and Scaramouche breaking the door when you both were getting to the good part of the movie.
“Childe, you are a little rascal I could easily smush under my feet. Do not press my buttons, I'm warning you~”
“Childe, do you want to die?”

thinking about how perhaps theres a single 20 minute moment from zhongli and god darlings marriage where he got affection without any hidden motive with a tiny dragon form (something like @/nagarnia’s tiny dragon zhongli). where in a moment of weakness they see a tiny dragon morax sunbathing on a stone and they’re like u know what. perhaps i DO want to hold a little dragon. a little water bottle. a little noodle in my arms. zhongli is too eager to say to to being coddled by his spouse. and for a short period of time he’s scooped up into their arms and Held and he’s just spiritually enlightened cause this is all he’s ever wanted he might cry from happiness.
20 minutes at most tho and he’s craved it again for thousands of years. god darling was like that’s a moment of WEAKNESS never again! but zhongli Never Forgets and he’s not sly so ever since he’s tried his luck and flops his tiny dragon form over the couch or bed with his little dragon tummy exposed and is like oh WOE BE ME! A DEFENCELESS LITTOL DRAGON!! whatever will i do i hope the god vephar doesn’t pick me up in their arms and cuddle me. truly a HORRIBLE FATE! nothing would make me suffer more!! worse than falling at the hands of osial surely the universe will spare me!!! (he’s not subtle huffing whenever he can like remember this……. this could be us again 👁👁)

Heyo
An update: Kazuha’s guide to being forgotten part 2 is coming very soon! Just adding finishing details :)
I’m gonna drop my formal talk act for this one, sorry guys. This is a bit of a self indulgence lol, currently 3am so I wrote this on impulse. I hope you enjoy!
A comforting Zhongli x Reader (Platonic or not, you can decide. I read this as platonic)
TW!!: scars/self-h@rm/hate, toxicity...read at your own risk
You stare at your hands, you were trembling. Your expression was blank and your eyes had not slept in days. It felt like thorns were ripping out of your chest, your head was spinning and throbbing in excruciating pain. You didn’t speak, no, you couldn’t speak. Who knew simply getting something to drink would result in this? You felt weak, oh so weak. It made sense, however. After not eating for days, you barely survived off of tea, water, and coffee. The most “food” you’ve had in the past week was a slice of bread. Of course, in the kitchen surrounding you, there was plenty to eat. Leftovers, ingredients, fruits, veggies, instant noodles, but you didn’t want to eat them. No matter how hungry you were, you forced your appetite down into nothingness. You stare back down at your hands, dripping in blood. The glass you were supposed to fill water with was shattered on the counter, one of them was held tightly in your palm, blood soaking it’s clear hue. You tighten your grip, watching the blood seep from the edge and drop down to the floor. You felt the countless incisions strike at your hand, opening up your old scars and creating new ones, but your face remained emotionless. You heard frantic footsteps towards you as you are suddenly held by the shoulders. You stare up at him, dropping the shard of glass onto the floor.
 “What happened? Are you alright?” Zhongli’s voice was unusually breathless, but concern was still laced with his calming tone. Looking up at him, you muster a smile.
 “Am I a monster?”
 His hands loosen slightly on your shoulders, furrowing his brow. “Of course not. Why would you ever think that?” 
You look down, how were you going to answer that? You knew you were a monster, you knew that everything you touched broke. You feel horrible, worthless. You are toxic, so very toxic. You never cared about others. You are selfish and small-minded. Every toxic trait you have rubbed off on others and you could see how painful it was for them. All you do is hurt others, all you do is hurt. You’ve realized this, that you are nothing more than a vicious monster that deserves to be hurt just as badly as they have hurt others. They deserve to starve, they deserve to be alone, they deserve to die. You knew you didn’t deserve the kindness you were given. The love, concern, your friends and family, you didn’t deserve any of them. So you pushed them away, all of them. Those who were hurt the most, the people who knew the most about you. If you push them away, make it so they never want to make as much as eye contact with you, they would much better off. They would be happier knowing they are no longer friends with a monster who never did a thing for them, no matter how much care and love they gave you. If you blocked everything out, perhaps you could make it faster towards your death. This lack of being a basic human is what you hated yourself most for. 
“Look at me, dear.” Zhongli’s voice rang out from the countless voices circling your head. His golden eyes were soft and misty. “You are not a monster, please do not say such things about yourself.”
You felt your chest tighten and your throat ached. You attempted to keep it at bay, but you had not even realized you were crying until he had embraced you in his arms. Your façade broke right then and there, leaving you crying helplessly in his hug. He remained quiet while rubbing his thumb gently on your back. “I don’t know what to do,” you managed to sob out, “I’m such a bad person, and I hate myself for it. I don’t deserve anything in life. I don’t belong anywhere, all I do is burden others. I wish it would all stop, I wish I could reverse everything I’ve done but I am always going to hurt the people that care about me. I thought I could push my best friends away and be okay with it, I thought it would work.”
“Are you okay with it?” 
Your sobs only seemed to grow louder, “No I’m not. I know that they’re fine. They are doing so much better without me, they’re so much happier, but why? Why don’t I feel happy for them? Why am I not okay? Why does it hurt? Why does it hurt so much, I don’t know what to do. I’m so selfish to even think that way-”
Zhongli let out a soft “shhh,” as he rubbed your back, tightening the hug. “You are doing this to make everyone happy, you care about them. If that is what makes someone a monster, I would like to know what is not a monster.” He chuckled shortly. Lowering his voice to a bit louder than a whisper, he stroked your head softly. “Let it all out. Whatever you are feeling, please do come and talk to me. Even when the world is against you, I will be here for you. I only wish for you to not harm yourself. You can scream and cry when it hurts, and that is okay. But please, do not hurt yourself.”
You cried for what seemed like hours. You punched at his chest in frustration, unable to understand why he cares so much for you when you have drenched his clothes in tears and blood. You truly thought you were alone, you believed you were better off alone, as you always were. However, here you are, crying in the arms of someone who had never left you, and never will. Looking up at him, his lips curved slightly and you were met with the warmest smile. He spoke sparingly, comforting you with every word. The sun peaked through the window, and your swollen eyes stopped their sobs. 
Zhongli spoke softly, patting your back, “Would you like me to brew some tea for you?” He waited patiently for your response, and continued to speak upon seeing you nod weakly, “I will also make you breakfast, alright? You really need to eat something, dear. Wait here, I will also find the bandages. The last thing I want is for you to get infections.” He left your embrace slowly.  You continued to stand there, watching him quickly fetch bandages, ointment, and start to boil the tea. 
You couldn’t help but put your scarce strength into a smile. Perhaps, you weren’t completely alone after all.
