Brilliance from the start

Yanfei:Hello! Yanfei here, I look forward to working with all of you. I’ll try to do my best.

Klee:*hands Sacred prayer* Here you go! I found this awhile ago. I don’t like it much so you can have it!

Yanfei:….Correction, I will do my best.

Amber:You can have my wanderers set. I’m actually in the middle of trying something new entirely, so keep it.

Yanfei:These pieces…are amazing.

Amber:I know. I wouldn’t give you garbage.

Yanfei:…..*sniffles*

Amber:Huh!? Hey, what’s with the water works!?

xxxxx

Zhongli:Stabilize! *makes shield* That should last about-

Maguu Kenki cuts shield.

Zhongli:Guess I’ll die-

Yanfei:Wrath of the flame! *makes shield* I’ll cover the down time!

Zhongli:…*pats head*

xxxxx

Ronin:*steps back* Prepare to- *floor explodes*

Yanfei:Not far enough!

Mirror Maiden: *forms barrier* Let’s see you- *hit by seal*

Yanfei:Do I look like I want to fight close!? C’mon, use your head.

xxxxx

Childe:*run in close* Got ya!

Yanfei:Operation fire wall!

Bennett:Teamwork is…

Childe:No…

Xiangling:Nics and….

Childe:NOOOO! I take it b-

Yanfei:*explodes ground*

xxxxx

Childe:(This time I’ll just keep my distance. My range beats her range)

Diona:*throws mixer*

Yanfei:*starts sprinting*

Childe:*drops materials* Just take them….

xxxxx

Yanfei:Aether, can you be my electro partner?

Aether:….*looks around*

Yanfei:Yea you.

Aether:Why?

Yanfei:*smiles* We’re compatible. I light things up and you let them blow up with all your EM power. You’re perfect.

Aether:…..*starts sniffing*

Yanfei:Aether!?

Aether:*hugs her*

Yanfei:*red*!!!!!!???????!????!?!?!!!

xxxxx

Fatui Agents: *turn invisible* Hehehe

Yanfei:….Gee, how will I hit all of them now?

Sucrose:*throws vial*

Agents:(Please no, why…)

Yanfei:If only I could hit them at once…

Mona:*castes omen*

Yanfei:With deadly efficiency!

Agents:Mercy!!!

Yanfei:Overruled! Ba-Boom!

xxxxx

Yanfei:Who wants resistance books!?🎶 *holds bag*

Eula, Jean, Mona, Razor, and Bennett immediately start clapping and crying

Diluc:I can farm those.

Aether:Come home.

Diluc:Nah…

xxxxx

Yanfei leans against the abyss portal on Musk Reef. With her legs numb and ego slightly bruised, she does her best to catch her breath like her teammates. Yae Miko lays down exhausted, Diona has her arm being bandaged, and poor Bennett is practically unconscious.

Yanfei:Sorry everyone, I thought we had it.

Diona:They don’t call it floor 12 for nothing.

Yae:At least we lived long enough to know to retreat. Stories aren’t worth much if nobody lives to tell them. Nine, ten, and eleven was amusing at least.

Bennett:*groans*

Aether:Is everyone alright.

Yanfei:Sorry Aether, I let you down. There’s no way we get further.

Aether:That’s fine, you did your best. Considering it’s been several months since you went in and it’s Miko’s first time, I think you all were awesome. *smiles*

Yanfei:I recommend that Keqing, Albedo, Kazuha, and Kokomi take our place. Those rift hounds are awful.

Keqing:Just leave it to us. Good job.

Yoimiya:*kneels* Bennett, I’d hate to be a bother but…

Bennett:*thumbs up*

Yoimiya: I’ll tackle the second half with my geo and pyro team! Leave it to us! I got that Golden Wolf Lord and Vishaps memorized to a T!

Zhongli:*silent suffering*

Yun Jin:*pats his back* Happy thoughts, it’ll be like the overworld, but more dire.

xxxxx

Yanfei:*writing*

Chongyun:Hey, congrats on the abyss. Gaining 18 stars with your team leading is no joke.

Amber:Another victory for us 4 star units. Couldn’t have done it better myself.

Yanfei:Thanks, but I totally blew it on floor 12. Stupid corrosion! I can totally reach the bottom if I try really hard, and dodge a lot. Though I doubt I’m breaking records…

Yun Jin:*walks up* It’s the thought that counts.

Yanfei:How’d everything go?

Yun Jin:Six more stars, the usual. Yoimiya was really thankful for Keqing moving so fast on her side, as if she herself isn’t quick. Yoimiya actually took down the Vishaps before they could revive. I blinked and arrows were already in flight.

Aether:Hey party people.

Yanfei:Gee, everyone trying to cheer me up in my study? I appreciate the thought. I’m not actually that bummed, I just really wanted to strut my stuff until the end. I’m glad everyone is okay though. So much room to grow still as a team, me included.

Amber: well you’re already one step closer.

Yanfei:How so-

Aether:*crowns her* Yanfei, congratulations. We weren’t here to cheer you up. Your fellow four stars wanted to be the first to welcome you to the club.

Chongyun:And with this, you, Amber and I, we really show anyone can be a captain to the highest regard. Hu Tao’s gonna be jealous. She’s still waiting for hers.

Amber:I know Eula is gonna be pretty grump- Yanfei!?

Yanfei:*crying*…….

Yanfei:Thanks for never doubting me. I’ll try to burn as bright as I can.

Everyone smiles, pulling her into a big hug. “Are you kidding? You’ve been brilliant from the start.”

OH my god the found family aspect of Genshin is genuinely amazing. My current team is Albedo, Yanfei, Chongyun, Kokomi, and like??? Albedo has been there the longest (best boi) and came across this absolutely feral lawyer in Liyue while out doing some fieldwork and now they're the most violently destructive power duo in Teyvat, Yanfei offering the more destructive damage and taking the brunt of the hits to protect Albedo while he's working on keeping his flower blooming to protect her in turn and ALSO dealing MASSIVE damage (3000 defense sure does something for his flower lmao) to help her burn the world to the ground. It's the most alive he's felt in years. They helped Kokomi and Aether work out the problems on Watatsumi, and it left her free to travel for a while, and she knew that those two would get her into SO much trouble but it would be so, so worth it. Besides, just because they can take one hell of a beating doesn't mean they won't appreciate a little healing. Chongyun took more coaxing to get him to join the team, but Yanfei knows he's frustrated and stagnating where he is, and maybe travelling will help him find the answers to his condition that he's been looking for. And look, she knows she runs hot, but surely Kokomi can help even out her flames...? And Albedo ducks in, and gives Chongyun a very serious look, and promises that he'd be safe with them, and that they'd help him find what he wanted no matter what, even if that was returning to Liyue in the end. He was good at finding answers; it was practically his specialty. And well, how could Chongyun refuse an offer like that? As it turns out, he and Kokomi make a great pair for freezing anything they come across, leaving Yanfei and Albedo to wreck shop just that much faster as their opponents can't move, letting the other two to hang back safely out of the range of Yanfei's fire. They're still exploring, looking for answers, and adventure, and revelling in the quiet knowledge that these people are their friends, people they'd trust with their lives, people they could trust to do the right thing, even if some of them were chaotic or anxious or unsure in their own skins or worried about what they could do if they lost control of themselves. They could trust eachother to the end.

HELLO YES VERY SCRUMPTIOUS

Albedo giving Chongyun a serious look promising that everything will be taken care of was so sweet best bois

Yanfei, Kokomi and Albedo absolutely get along like a house on fire and would strategize the shit out of all the fights. Chongyun is team son :)

Genshin Band Au

Characters: Yanfei, Xinyan, Barbara, Y/N (reader)

WC: 1975

Warnings: No beta we die like hilichurls

Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, No Ships, Headcanons, Bulleted

Spotify Playlist: Pov: you're in a band with Xinyan Yanfei and Barbara

《 𝓘𝓯 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓴𝓷𝓸𝔀 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓽𝓸 𝓻𝓸𝓬𝓴, 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓲𝓽𝓼 𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓮𝓻 𝓽𝓸 𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓵 》

Once when you were having lunch with Xinyan and Xiangling, Xinyan said something along the lines of “wouldn’t it be cool if i had a band?” and you, of course, jokingly said “if you started a band, then I wanna be the first member to join” and that’s basically how it started

You offered Xiangling if she'd like to join as well but she declined. As tempting as a life like that sounds, she’s set on her dream to be a chef. “I’d rather be your biggest fan!”

Not really knowing where to go at this point, you suggested posting a notice to the bulletin board beside the long-unused alchemy table and the one beside the adventurer’s guild typically reserved for commissions, but Katheryne gave you permission to put it up.

Xinyan had already begun to have the beginnings of a fanbase at this point, but it wasn’t really much of a surprise you hadn’t heard anything in a few days. You had even gone so far as to ask the traveler to keep an eye out.

Thankfully, the traveler was more successful than the both of you, bringing back a letter from both the top legal advisor in Liyue and the Idol and Deconess of Mondstadt. When you asked them how or why they put in so much effort, they just smiled and waved you off. The only payment they wanted were some small shiny rocks you had laying around as paperweights that you got from a hilichurl. Odd, but you insisted they accepted mora as well.

And so, on the agreed date mentioned in both of the letters, courtesy of the traveler setting up, you sat around a table at Wamin with a few assorted dishes of Jueyun Chili Chicken and Crab Roe Tofu. By the end, you were able to convince both of them to join. It was a bit.. really hard in the beginning, with Barbara and Yanfei having jobs. Barbara living in Mond didn’t help much either, but after some work it became manageable. You agree to meet every week at Pop’s Teas, one of the vendors at the stone gate. It would only take half an hour-ish each way.

“What should we call it?” You ask, languidly setting down your tea. Xinyan looks at you, still hunched over a few sheets of paper with her head propped up on her hand. “The band,” you clarify. Barbara hums from across the table, pressing a finger to her lip.

“I have a few ideas.” Xinyan pulls a blank sheet from the pile and scribbles BAND NAMES at the top. “Let’s brainstorm them while we’re all here.” One by one, you begin to throw out ideas.

Firelytical

Rockin Resistance

Wildfires

Illuminated Flames

Inferno

Sudden Freedom

She taps the pen to her lip, thinking of other names to suggest.

“These seem a bit.. fire-centric, even for a pyro-based band,” you comment. Yanfei nods, still deep in thought.

“Oh that’s a good idea, y/n.” You glance over, seeing Xinyan write down “Pyrocentric” on the list.

“Maybe it’d be best if we came up with ideas and shared them next week?” You nod at Barbara’s suggestion.

“I’ll keep a notepad with me in the office…” Xinyan tosses the pencil back on the table, watching Yanfei pull out what you assume to be the notebook and flip to a page, moving on to the next topic of discussion. “Costumes,” she says as her lips twist into a slight frown.

“Oh! I have some ideas for that,” you pull a sketchbook out of your bag, showing them your ideas. “I’m not very good at drawing but.. I wanted to keep some bits of your normal clothing too, I hope it’s not too much.”

“Y/n these look so amazing!” Barbara smiles, moving one to get a better look.

“Aw these are so awesome!” Xinyan slides over the one for her, grinning. Yanfei nods, looking over hers. “I could totally make these.” Her eyes sparkle with interest, radiating in the sunlight. “Oh,” she looks back up at you. “If you don’t mind, that is.” You wave her away, giggling under your breath.

“If Barbra and Yanfei don’t have any adjustments to make, I’d love to see my designs come to life!” You sip your tea, which has long gone cold by now. Barbara turns the paper around, pointing at the skirt on the page. “What if we add another one under it? If we make it a different colour, it’ll pop more.” You nod, pulling out a sheet and writing it down.

“Oh, oh y/n what if we added something here too?” Yanfei points to a slightly emptier spot on the hip. “Like an uhm…” she trails off.

“What if we put something like this from Xinyan’s?” You put your finger on a braided cord. “Like a belt, I guess?”

“Oh yeah yeah and I could put my vision on it–” she unconsciously reaches to touch the pyro vision at her side.

“Y/n?” Barbara sets aside her tea, as if she just found out the hard way that it’s cold. You hum, the pencil in your hand tapping against the page as you note details for Yanfei’s costume. “Thank you for working so hard on this!”

A few other names had come up during the week; BXY, Fiery Vale, and such, but you settled on Fervent Apricity. An odd name, but it’s meaning was able to win everyone over; the intense heat of the sun in the midst of winter. It fit the band well, you thought. Perhaps one day you should be able to live up to the name.

After a few months of dragging Yanfei away from her work to teach her the bass, which she picked up scarily fast (perhaps it's an illuminated beast thing?), you were able to arrange something with the millenith to not crash your debut concert. Yanfei suggested she just continued practicing for a while before she performed with it though.

You agreed that since there were only four of you, it wouldn’t be too much to have all of you as vocalists. Barabra lead vocals and choreography, Xinyan with lead guitar and harsh vocals, Yanfei rapping and eventually bass guitar, and you playing drums.

Tonight was the night. The night that Fervent Apricity would set foot on the stage for the first time. To be completely honest, you were a nervous wreck. Ignoring your worries didn’t make them go away, much to your annoyance.

Xiangling set up a food cart nearby, though she got distracted listening more than she cooked.

You sat in front of the drums, only moments left before you started. This was it. You’ve practiced so many times, it’ll be a breeze. Xinyan counted down, the strums from her guitar filling the summer night air as the concert began.

You would’ve felt bad being this loud so late at night, but by the time you had finished, you attracted not only a good portion of the residents in the harbor, but the wholehearted support of the largest fleet that docks in Liyue. The Crux and her crew! You recognize a lot of people from Xinyan’s previous concerts, loyal fans you assume she’s gained, and a good few handfuls of new faces. Travelers, probably.

You played into the night, without a care in the world for who may be listening. It lasted almost half an hour longer than one of Xinyan’s normal concerts. If you had to put the experience into one word, it was freeing. You were alive. The feeling was… incredible. But, as the adrenaline wore off, you came to realize how undeniably tired you were.

And so, that breathtaking performance marked the day that you would start your, Fervent Apricity’s, journey of becoming one of the most popular bands in Teyvat

For the week after, you had been working out the details of the next large concert. Xinyan carried on with her nightly performances, you caught word of Barbara still performing in Mond, although slightly less than usual, and you had been exchanging ideas with Yanfei. Despite her job and work schedule, she proves to be a great help, almost overwhelmingly so. After the second day, it felt more like her setting it up and running it by you instead of the other way around. Not that you could really complain, just a little less work for you.

After a few months of performing regularly in Liyue Harbor, Barbara suggested that you come to Mond. It’d be a new experience, since you had never really traveled outside of Liyue, but you were concerned it might affect Barbara’s reputation. She insisted. Playing with the band is something she’s proud of and the message your music brings is something she supports.

Was it running away? Finding a new audience that would love your music just as much as you did? No, just the opposite. It was finding a new audience, one that was just as foreign to it, and lighting it up one spark at a time.

You started working out the time with Yanfei and Barbara to fit their schedules and Xinyan started picking out songs she thought would be more… well accepted by the northern people and bouncing some ideas off you. The instruments weren’t much, so you were able to transport it easily. Barbara said to come to the plaza at the top of all the stairs a few days prior.

Xinyan had to tell the sentries you were here to perform with Barbara, to which they let you through with no further difficulties. People stared, and whether it was a good or bad thing, it was almost.. empowering? You met with Barbara and the other sisters, introducing yourselves as the other members of Fervent Apricity.

They were a bit weary of you, a ragtag group of musicians with a vaguely red and black colour scheme with Barbara, who had run off shortly after you arrived to change into her costume.

By the time she had returned, the makeshift stage had already been set up and a crowd began to form. It appears Barbara was quite popular here. You could tell they were a bit cautious though. Perhaps it’s because it’s pretty clear that your music was different from what Barbara usually played. All the better to prove how amazing rock could be.

There was but a few minutes left before you were scheduled to start. All the fireproofing needed was complete; you were ready to light up the city of freedom.

It was just like one of your normal concerts, a handful of songs you had played many times before. The crowd was a bit taken aback by Xinyan’s screaming, you had to hold in a laugh. You made a note to after, bring it up to her to get the crowd more fired up before choosing one that… intense. No matter how many times you performed, it was always just as lively as the first time.

Having mentioned your thought to Xinyan after the show, Yanfei came up to the both of you. She said she wanted to play her instrument in the next concert. Xinyan replied that if she wanted to then that’s a-okay but she shouldn’t feel pressured into it before she was ready

You overheard the “Barbara fan club,” as Barbara had mentioned earlier, crowding her and asking so many questions, it made you want to kick their asses to Inazuma.

“Barbara-sama, are you joining them permanently?”

“Barbara-sama, will you still be performing on your own?”

“Barbara-sama, how long have you been with them?”

“Barbara-sama, is this why you don’t let me join you to the stone gate?”

After a bit of rescuing and creep-yelling-at, Xinyan made a final announcement, mentioning the band’s name and the upcoming concert dates in Liyue.

Oh, how quickly time passes

ohmygod THANK YOU SM FOR 200- SHAWTYS ILYSM- ugh I might actually take this blog seriously soon..
