the first time you were up in the jade chamber you met a certain half-qilin who was quite shy looking, but you were quick to learn she could push your buttons faster than any other civilian of all of liyue.

“lady ningguang will take a minute.” you nodded, standing to the side so the qilin could walk past you with ease. put you sighed when she turned back halfway, looking at the little box resting in your hands.

“can I ask what that is?” even a blind person could see that you were an agent from the fatui by the attire you were dressed in. although you weren’t wearing a mask like all the agents would, your clothes give away your identity very well.

you scoffed, “where I come from, we do not arrive without a little something to where we were invited to.” you couldn’t understand why was she asking you this question, she cannot be serious. everyone jumped to conclusions about your intentions, but in reality, they were all harmless.

you could bet she was thinking you were there by mistake of a debt you tried to demand from the tianquan.

but you could see on her face that your answer didn’t satisfy her enough, so you followed it up, “it is a piece of clothing made from the finest silk of all of teyvat made by the most talented snezhnayan needle-man.” she hummed after you explained then she took off to.

every time you visited you were interrogated by ganyu ( you also learned her name over the course of time ) about your gifts and why did you turn up into the jade chamber again. you always told her, you were here for business with the liyue qixing and little details about the gift you brought.

today was probably the last time you visited the chamber after months. your only quest was to convince and maybe ‘bribe’ ( as the harbingers put it) the tianquan to bend the law here and there for them and to provide them with some necessary paperwork.

“today you brought two gifts, as I see.” and as each interrogation went by, the two of you started to learn more about each other, that’s how you knew that ganyu favored glaze lilies which you were holding in your hand.

“this is my last visit to the palace in the skies, I thought I would bring something to the first person I met here.” your walls slowly crumbled down, all assumptions getting lost in the fog of your mind and heart growing closer to the qilin.

ganyu nervously chuckled before accepting the flowers from your offering hand. “no flower really survives the cold which rules over snezhnaya, and I fell in love with these after the first time you told me about them.” you admitted, wiping your sweating palm in your clothes. you avoided eye contact with ganyu, afraid of what she would make out of your gift to her.

“I… um…” she stuttered, gazing at the flowers in her hands. “I don’t know what to say.” ganyu breathed.

“I wish to see you outside of the chamber, join me for lunch or dinner tomorrow. as a way of saying thank you from yours and my end too or... as a date.” you made a mess of your feelings.

“a date sounds perfect!” ganyu said, a little too loud and excited as she stepped up to you. her hands landed on your shoulders, tip toing up so your faces were right in front of each other just inches away.

she quickly pulled away, muttering an apology for her manners. you assured her she did nothing wrong. “lady y/n, I am ready for our meeting.” you heard the tianquan call out. you looked over your shoulder before looking back at ganyu and leaning in to press a gentle kiss on her rosy cheeks.

“something to make sure you won’t leave me hanging.” you turned on your heels, now the composed and serious fatui agent walked inside the office she knew very well. you could jump out of your skin over ganyu accepting your requests later.

Hello-could I request a reader with small hands(sry if I requested them a lot but like since I’ve them :P)who one day is out with their S/O (Ayaka,Yoimiya,Kokomi,Sara and Ei)and then the reader out of the blue asks to compare hand sizes out of curiosity and reader finds out that their hands are smaller than theirs character reactions and vary-I hope this wasn’t too much take your time with this and take care!! :):):)

Comparing Hand Sizes Prt. 3

Characters: Ayaka, Yoimiya, Kokomi, Sara, Raiden Shogun

Warnings: none

A/n: No worries, I be writing a lot about hands but it’s all fun for me because it’s a unique concept :)

Link to Prt. 2  they’re not related in anyway just a similar concept if y’all want more

• Ayaka’s hands are probably relatively the same size as yours being such a short girl herself. Yours just being slightly smaller, enough to barely notice unless you put effort.

• Regardless of both of your small hands they felt comfortable. Such small dainty fingers interlocking together, you notice the feeling was notably different from other hands you’ve held.

• She was surprised that your hands were smaller than hers. Being a short girl, she too was used to seeing her hands smaller than most.

You sat in the Yashiro Commission Headquarters as your girlfriend, Ayaka, greeted a new guest. Her fan partially covered her face, and you couldn’t help but notice how small her hands were webbed along with the fan.

You thought maybe you’ve found someone with smaller hands than you. When given the opportunity Ayaka went behind the shoji screen divider, where she greeted you with an exhausted sigh.

“Ayaka, let me see your hands.” You brought her wrist up to yours comparing the sizes. It was difficult to tell, but with disappointment, you saw her hands were just a centimeter short of hers.

“Oh?” She looked surprised too, enjoying such a normal interaction with someone “I did not expect this. You see normally my hands are smaller than most.

“Ah- but my hands are freakishly small, so this is no surprise to me.” Ayaka giggled at your self-deprecation, she thought you were cute for your size even if it was smaller than most.

• Yoimiya is also quite a shorty. Her hands reflected it as well, but they’re still quite larger than yours. Her having averagely sized for her height, and you having freakishly small hands for your already short stature was a recipe for teasing.

• Whenever you held Yoimiya’s hands you noticed how strong her grip was, your palms were so close it created a pool of sweat between you two. But as long as you didn’t mind she didn’t either. She liked to hold your hand tightly because she thought it symbolized the connection between you two physically. 

• Yoimiya had larger hands for her height, so she would be surprised if they weren’t larger. She prided herself on them because they were what created the beauty of the fireworks in the skies.

Yoimiya was crafting a small toy made of the remains of a failed firework for the neighborhood kids. She said it would be like recycling, good for the environment which is the least she can do when her fireworks do is endanger it.

You couldn’t help but notice how her hands articulated around the wrench as she screwed a bolt in the toy to keep it intact.

“Yoimiya, let me see your hands.” She wiped off the sweat from her forehead before taking her safety glasses off, bringing her hand up swiftly to meet yours.

You compared the sizes, and of course, her hands were bigger, not by much but still visibly bigger. It just fed her ego of having bigger features than others who were also short in stature.

“Hehe~ I knew it.” She said triumphantly, “nobody can beat me in hand sizes, you see they’re quite chunky.” She tried to joke around giving you a big grin as you rolled your eyes playfully.

• Kokomi was also some short stuff. Her hands were so thin just like a model, you were jealous. Yet, in comparison, you weren’t surprised to find your hand smaller for the 100th time.

• Kokomi preferred to link arms simultaneously holding hands, she liked the intimacy. When she was in a good mood she would encase your one hand in both of hers and she would be even happier. The size difference makes your hand drown in both of hers.

• Kokomi was shocked to see your hands smaller than hers. She had such tiny hands for her height, and to find someone smaller was a 1/1000th chance.

Kokomi was greeting her generals after sending them off to Yashiori Island to fend off the Shogun’s opposing forces. You stood beside her as her assistant, it might’ve been a weird thought for the situation at hand, but you couldn’t help but think how small her hands were when she blessed her soldiers. She would hold one of their hands with both of hers and bow together moving on to the next, each soldier’s hands were perpetually larger than hers.

Once they were off through the gates of the Sangonomiya shrine she audibly sighed turning immediately to you. She allowed her exhausted self to fall into your hold, you knew how introverted the poor girl was, probably ran herself in the mud with all the recent work.

You looked to improve the mood, “Kokomi, let me see your hand.” She brought her small palm up to yours while still in your hold. Like you thought, her hand was small and gentle, but sadly not as small as yours. It overshadowed yours by half a joint. 

“Wow, I knew your hands were small but this is an unexpected result.” She let her fingers relax within yours, holding your hand as she stayed in your embrace. You felt her stressed heartbeat relax within your hand, hopefully, it distracted even just a little.

• Sara had massive hands compared to you. She was average height for a woman, but her hands spoke man. They were strong, rectangular, and veiny, which were all dominant in men.

• When your hands intertwined you felt the vast difference between the two, her were meaty yet elegant. The way your small hands loosely rattled, was quite comical but you thought it was almost like a mother and child with the size difference.

• Sara was not surprised to see your hands smaller than hers. She was surprised, however, to see that your hands were drastically smaller than hers. You fell short a whole joint, but she normally paid no attention to it.

Sara was stressed about the official documents that lay before her from the Kanjou Commission. They acquired especially low funds this month to operate the Tenryou Commission. While she figured out her operational budget for this month you grew bored.

You noticed her hand resting on her desk, her fingers dancing up and down in a wave pattern, making a patterned dudu dudu sound on her desk. You grabbed her hand to prevent her nervous habits, you knew she grew somewhat fidgety.

“Relax Sara,” she looked annoyed and surprised that you even said anything. She watched you align your hands, and as you expected, her hand was a little more than a joint larger than yours. “Wow what big hands you have,” you said in surprise.

“Well, what do you expect?” She asked sternly, she thought your antics were dumb and always stated the obvious, but it ultimately calmed her down from her duties.

• Ei’s hands weren’t too big or too small for her height, just about average as they come. In comparison to hers though, your hands made hers seem gigantic. In reality, you just had some small hands.

• Ei would subconsciously rub your hand with her thumb when you held it. It was a little quirk that she never noticed, the size difference made it so her thumb was rubbing the entire roof of your hand.

• Ei did not care, she literally probably didn’t even think twice until you brought it up. Even when you did she didn’t see the big deal about your hands being small.

Tonight was one of the few nights Ei retreated from her inner world to spend time with you. She knew you grew lonely, so occasionally she tried to spare a night or two a week for you.

Having your actual girlfriend in the flesh in front of you made you excited, every time you always wanted to pull all-nighters to savor the limited time you had with her. “Hey, Ei, let me see your hand,” you asked curiously. She obeyed quietly, you could tell the confusion on her face.

You pressed your palm against hers, you knew it, your hand being a whole inch shorter than hers. “Ah~ I’m so jealous, bigger hands are so much more attractive than smaller.” You looked at the stub you had for a hand in disdain.

“I don’t understand, What does hand size correlate to anything?” Ei was even more confused than in the beginning. You merely giggled and gave Ei a small hug, you loved her because no matter your “flaws” she would unintentionally overlook them.

BLISS’S REQUEST ARE OOOOPPPPEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN BLIIIIIISSSSSSSS I LOBE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU hi :3 im very excited Anyways I’ve been having traveler brainrot lately How abouuuuttt both twins reacting to the other when they introduce their significant other? Likelikelike aether introducing reader to lumine and vice versaaAaAaA How would they get along? Would the other try to get close? DO THEY ADVENTURE TOGETHER???? AHHHHHH lumineaetherbrainrotlumineaetherbrainrotlumineatherbra-

Hi!! 🌼💕🍃

Okay, this request is really really cute and It's actually a really good prompt for my first work with the travelers! Thank you for this request!

I love you too!🌸💗🌼

🌿Aether/Lumine intoducing their s/o to their sibling🌿

Pairings: Aether/Lumine x GN! Reader

Warnings: None! ♡

Notes: I believe in overprotective-brother type Aether supremacy.

Aether 🌼

Aether would be really excited to show you to his sister! He's more than sure that both of you will get along together!

He always talks about you to his sister so when there's finally a chance for you to meet, he's making sure everything's perfect!

Lumine is really excited to meet you too! She's happy that her brother found someone he can trust, someone he can rely on and relax with.

The first expression of her might be a little scary, as she would look at you up and down to make sure you're not just someone able to hurt her brother, but trust me, she gets along with you really quickly!

At some point Aether even would be a little jealous that you opened up to Lumine so quickly! But both of you just knew that because of your trust gained from Aether, you're a good person.

And of course I'm sure the three of you would be planning some adventures together! Not always, of course. Sometimes Aether wants to have you only for himself.

Even though Lumine is his sister, you're the only treasure in his life he won't share with her. ♡

Lumine 🌼

I think Aether surely would be more protective over his sister, so it's only natural that he's unsure, yet very curious to meet you.

He'd ask you lots of questions, and even though some or them may be a little weird, he won't force you to answer any of them. Sometimes Lumine would have to give him a good old smack on the back so her brother leaves you alone!

In the end, the three of you just laugh it off and go on with the chatting. Afterall, there's a lot to discuss! Aether wants to make sure you're taking care of his dear sister! ♡

He'd get along with you pretty quickly and that isn't a surprise, since he's really similar to to the person you already gave your heart to.

He's always happy to be invited for adventures and or just walks in the city!

He enjoys seeing his sister happy and from the time he met you, he enjoys seeing you happy as well.

I have a request if its not too hard 👉👈

You're in a group conversation, and they're included (Childe, Albedo, and Kaeya for the boys, and Mona, Eula, and Amber for the girls if possible) and you refer to them as your husband/wife (you're not married to them.. yet 👀)

Thank you have a shrektacular day 🥰

Referring to them as Your Spouse, but You're Not Married! <3

A/N: Hello Anon!! thank you for the shrektacular wishes. i will remember them until my brain runs out of storage space and uploads all my memories to the cloud & deletes them!!! :_D

I actually had to do a little reading up on Mona's personality and take a look at her voicelines for this one. I never realized how much i do not know about her. Thank you for requesting her along with the others! it was very refreshing.

Gender neutral reader! Hope you don't mind, anon :D

REQUESTS ARE OPEN!

Childe!

Perhaps you're introducing him to your friends.

He hardly notices!

It may be embarrassing for some, but certainly not for him.

He throws an arm around your shoulder or your waist and pulls you towards him.

Perhaps he'll trip over a word or two once he realizes.

Maybe the tips of his ears will flush.

Maybe it's his whole face.

But he plays it off as best he can!

Goes along with whatever you're saying, referring to you as his lovely wife just to get back at you.

Keep playing dirty and he'll be the one making you flustered.

Once you've gotten somewhere private, he'll keep bugging you about it.

"Did you mean it? Did you mean it?"

He's so down to marry you.

Don't be surprised if he wakes you up with breakfast a noctilucous jade ring!

Albedo!

Maybe you're with Timeus and Sucrose and introducing him to some other alchemist that's in town.

Probably ignores it just to bug you.

"Huh? What'd you say?"

Pretends he's too busy focusing on whatever he's working on at the moment to notice what you said.

But his cheeks are dusted with pink.

Of which he meticulously makes sure to keep out of your view until the heat in his face goes away.

A little while later after he's calmed down he'll come up to you.

"Want to repeat what you said earlier?" He asks, a knowing smile on his face.

Oh, you're in trouble now.

You've released smug Albedo.

The one fueled by the knowledge that your love and attention are all his.

When you get embarrassed, he'll bend down/pull you down to him and give you a quick kiss.

This backfired on you quickly.

Kaeya!

Ahh. There are some new recruits at the Knights of Fevonious.

You have to introduce him to them.

Ohoho? He raises a brow when you refer to him as your husband.

He makes no effort to hide his affections for you in front of the new recruits.

He might grab your hand possessively in his cold one.

Or maybe he'll snake an arm around your waist.

He doesn't say it, but he's thinking it.

To the guys and girls eyeing you, he's saying "back off, they're mine."

You should've known that even references to marriage wouldn't be enough to fluster this man.

Once the recruits have left, he lets go of you.

"Why don't we make your little daydream into a reality soon?" He asks.

He kisses your hand and then leaves.

You're dumbfounded. How will you ever win against this guy, you think.

Mona!

Maybe you called her it as a joke, rather than an attempt to fluster her.

She gets flustered anyways.

You two were looking through books in the Knights of Fevonious library together.

But now she's a blushing mess.

She buries her face in a book to hide her embarrassment. It doesn't work well.

"Preposterous! There is no ring on my finger. We aren't even engaged." She shouts.

She has a knack for inserting her logic into conversations at very inappropriate times.

Like now, when you're trying to flirt with her.

"I can change that~," You say, continuing to tease her.

She slams the book shut and goes to leave the library.

"Lunch break, Y/N. I am getting quite tired of this stuffy library."

But you know she just wants to go somewhere she can blame the heat on her reddened cheeks.

Her face stays red for the rest of the day because she keeps thinking about marrying you.

Eula!

"Moving a little fast are we? We are simply in affectionate relations." She says,

The conversation flow stops.

Everyone looks at her weirdly.

You laugh awkwardly and bend down/pull her down to whisper into her ear.

"So you would like to make me your wife is what you're saying?" She says out loud.

You facepalm, but agree.

She grabs you by both of your hands and looks you sternly in the eyes.

"You are sure that you want to marry me, Y/N?"

You agree eagerly.

"Proposal accepted, dear Y/N." She says, a small smile appearing on her face.

You go out drinking with whoever you guys were conversing with to celebrate.

Turns out calling her your wife wasn't too much of a long shot, since you're engaged now.

You kiss her and wonder why you didn't do that sooner.

Amber!

She gets excited!

She'd be too embarrassed/thinks it's improper to bring up you have called her your wife while others are around, so she waits until you're alone.

"Y/N, back there, you called me your wife." She says, her cheeks tinted slightly pink.

"You haven't asked me properly yet, just know that I'd accept a proposal like that at any time." She says.

She places her hands on your upper arms and she looks up/down at you.

She's basically tearing up she's so happy.

She loves you so much she gives you a big huge hug.

She tells you later that she wouldn't mind not getting married either.

Just being referred to as your wife would make her the happiest girl in the world.

You assure her that you have plans.

You want to make her the happiest girl in the world, she deserves it.

Kaeya definitely sneaks up on you two and asks what you two lovebirds are talking about.

Both of you get embarrassed and run away!

Hu Tao with an s/o that died

- gender neutral

- TW: death, angst, not proofread

- Notes: this is just a little practice and maybe a sort of a part 2 of another post (also contains leaks from Hu tao’s vision story if you haven’t read it already)

Part 1

Hu Tao

She’s seen lot of deaths and experienced a few but never had she ever thought that’s he would have to experience yours, reminding her of her grandfather and when he passed. She wonders what she could have done to prevent this and Old Hu’s death. She hates this and wonders why it couldn’t have been her that had to depart from this life, wanting to take your place so you could have lived happily despite her being gone.

Despite your death she manages to put on a happy demeanor to cover the pain that was imprinted onto her after having to experience the pain from seeing you dead. She does however conduct your funeral with the help of your family (she tries to make it with everything you liked). She sits front row at the funeral, despite how much she tries to stop crying she can’t, she can’t bare to not mourn your death.

After having the funeral she keeps some of your stuff with her as a memory of you, sometimes she would even go to where you had to your first date or where you first met and would just find a place to sit or whatever and remember all the fun time she had with you. (Also taking into consideration that she probably has some sort of ptsd from seeing you dead). Nightmares keep her up at night because of everything to the point you could see dark circles and eye bags under her eyes if she didn’t cover them good with makeup. Even then she still manages to keep a happy facade, like you wanted her to. (She probably doesn’t move on after a while though)

across the universe ♡

featuring yelan, kuki shinobu, scaramouche, lumine and aether, + ayaka x gn reader | au scenarios! pls rb if u enjoyed! [cw for hanahaki au and zombie au]

links send an ask or req here and read more fics here !!

yelan — casino au

the beautiful woman who sits at the table, flipping three five dollar chips between her fingers, is notorious for spending all of her paycheck for the month in one go and either losing it all or bleeding the house dry. as an employee of the casino and the dealer of the table, it's your job to make sure she's not cheating.

still, lately she's been on a peculiar losing streak. any self respecting gambler who doesn't have a death wish would get up and choose another table, or maybe even another casino due to how badly she's doing. but instead she sticks around with a serene expression and a seemingly unlimited amount of money.

you shuffle the deck for the last time before your shift ends and notice yelan turning out her pockets, only to find them empty. she sighs and stands up, giving you a wink goodbye before her friend joins her and they start to leave. "why did you stick around for so long?" they ask, puzzled. yelan sighs, flipping a lock of hair behind her ear. "the dealer was so cute, i just couldn't help it ... "

the next time you get off your shift (a week later, one week of you waiting for her to show up so you can ask her out), she approaches you with a pair of dice in hand and with a smirk, challenges you to a game of blackjack. "if i win, you go on a date with me, and if you win — " you interrupt her, matching her mischievous look as you offer your question. "am i allowed to lose purposefully?

kuki shinobu — hanahaki au

she's happy that you have a new boyfriend who packs you bentou box lunches (with the same agidashi tofu and kappamaki she pushed down thoughts of making for you) and goes on walks with you and spends free time on cute fun dates that shinobu will never get to experience. really, she is.

just, it's a little hard to consistently acknowledge and reply to your delighted chatter about the newest adorable habit that your boyfriend has when she's constantly trying not to cough up piles of pink flower petals into her mask. she swallows them down the best she can and holds her breath, looking away to hide her watery eyes.

"why can't you ever be happy for me?" you demand, arms crossed over your chest. "i don't need you anyway, but i just thought my friend would be glad that i finally found someone who loves me!" unable to speak, she stands there like a statue until you finally leave in a huff.

that's when she decides she's doing more harm than good by staying around you. she steals away during the night so she can choke on the flowers without you having to see, and in the morning when you find her she'll be clutching a note in hurried handwriting spotted with red that tells you everything. pink petals spilled across it.

scaramouche — streamer au

resident starter of bs in the fanbase for the role playing game genshin impact, scaramouche never wastes time filming his newest videos on scandals around voice actors, streamers, and every other kind of drama that he could possibly stir up. everyone hates him, but everyone still watches his videos. partly for his content — which people claim to look down on, but actually are deeply invested in — and partly for his voice ...

owner of an incredibly popular leak and datamine channel that gives advice on building, quest priority, who to pull for, and everything else about genshin, you're beloved within the community as a big sibling of sorts to both veteran and new players. (thanks to your many supporters and your sheer amount of viewers who got into genshin because of you, you've also avoided a ton of incidents where your account was nearly deleted by hoyoverse for leaking, but that's another story.)

you two are basically polar opposites, and no one's ever seen you interacting before. but then a well known streamer (username @t4rt4rj4xx, a name that's come up many many times in scaramouche's videos) posts a series of photos of you and scaramouche on a date together.

"i think you're all forgetting about who this channel is focusing on. anyone but me, morons. but ... yeah, me and y/n are dating, and what's it to you?" / "scaramouche? yup, i know him. we're a lot closer than he'll make it seem, i'm sure. oh? he's already publicly confirmed we're dating? hahaha! scara, you big softie~!"

lumine and aether — zombie apocalypse au

drifting from reality to reality, the twins explore each world before moving onto the next. it's always been easy for them with their limitless abilities — but they never expected to come across a planet overrun by zombies. creepy, shuffling creatures that almost take lumine's head off within the first two minutes, only being saved thanks to you, who shot the zombie with a crossbow right at the last second.

they would be fully prepared to abandon this world and flee, but for the kind stranger who protected lumine. they say it's to protect you, but they know you can protect yourself. really, they've both grown somewhat attached to you. you spend your days traversing the ruined earth and looking for signs of life among the rubble, the twins by your side.

as time passes and you grow closer to the twins, you start to wonder about their mysterious backgrounds. how they seem to know so little about this planet, how they dress and speak in a manner unlike any you've heard before, and how everytime you ask where they're from they say something like "that's not really important right now." still, you're friends, and as awful as the apocalypse is you and the twins are getting through it together.

but sometimes in the night, aether unwraps the scarf from around his neck and grimaces as he sees the purple, slightly pulsating bite mark on his neck. how long until it overtakes him entirely? how long until he turns into just another zombie with no thoughts but to kill? how long until his sister — and you — are forced to eliminate him too?

kamisato ayaka — royalty au

the princess ayaka is graceful, dignified, and kind. she handles every issue with poise and delicacy, loving of her kingdom and the people who live in it. the commoners love her, and so does everyone else. including you, the child of the royal guard's leader, who was assigned to be her bodyguard due to your closeness in age. you follow her everywhere and shadow everything she does. and in the process, you and her become friends.

behind the guise of the princess lies ayaka's true feelings; the desire to be free and adventurous without being tied down to the kingdom. as much as she loves her realm, she's tired of having to put it first before what she wants every time a problem comes up. she tells you everything and you listen, offering your thoughts in return, but keeping your mouth closed on your own feelings. she's more than you. more noble, more impressive, more perfect.

then the arranged marriage is announced. a beautiful girl from a kingdom called watatsumi, she's in every way your superior. looks, abilities, everything. your ayaka — though you never dared to think of her that way — marrying someone who wasn't you. it broke your heart just to imagine. but you could never say anything. you stood to the side and watched as kokomi and ayaka met for the first time. then you and ayaka went home and you listened to the silence filling the room rather than the usual conversation.

months pass and ayaka spends more and more time with kokomi instead of you, your talks becoming less frequent. but even so, your eyes are still drawn to her graceful figure and you still long to hear her elegant descriptions of fanciful banquets and pastimes reserved for royalty. it becomes almost unbearable to hear the latest gossip about them or even to hear their names together.

the day of the wedding comes. you watch ayaka walk down the aisle in a pale blue gown. you clap and congratulate the happy couple, before leaving. you can't cry in front of her. you're happy she's gotten to marry someone she really does care for. it's just hard for that person not to be you. but you don't notice her hopeful glance trailing your back, and the way she droops minutely before looking back to kokomi as she realizes you're not turning around.

if anyone would like a continuation of these, i'd be happy to provide! :D

thank you very much for reading! if you enjoyed, please consider reblogging or following. if you wanted to see something else, send in a request! :3 have a great day!

on a sunny day — amber

pairing: amber/gn!reader (romantic)

category: bittersweet + modern!au + falling out of love + implied breaking up

a little summary: it’s a little bit sad when you think the one that would stay by your side forever turns out to be the one to leave.

note: @xiaophobic happy birthday, here is ur angst<3 !!

love is a fragile feeling.

amber should’ve definitely known that by now. of course she should. one might compare it to a flower that you grow and take care of and then it blooms beautifully, but the moment you start to neglect it, it slowly starts to die.

she wasn’t really expecting it to end like this — hell, she wasn’t expecting your relationship to end at all. but now you’re here, standing in front of her and she feels like she’s falling. you still look as beautiful as always, yet there is a gentle sorrow swimming in your eyes and she knows you want to say you’re sorry.

“don’t say you’re sorry,” she whispers, her voice cracking, “don’t say you’re sorry for doing what’s the best for you. don’t be sorry for putting your well-being first,” she says.

she’s still looking out for you. of course she is. you guess some things never change, but a part of you wants her to scream at you. wants her to be angry.

you’re sorry. you’re sorry for falling out of love, because you tried so hard. you’re so sorry, because you don’t know why it happened.

the question is, is there any way to keep the flower alive forever? of course there isn’t — it’s not possible. every one of them will wilt sooner or later, no matter how hard you try and care for it. does that mean there isn’t any kind of love that would stay till the end?

perhaps there is — amber desperately wants to believe there is. there has to be. she wants to hold onto that thought, that maybe it just wasn’t the right time. maybe, just maybe, it could’ve worked out in another universe. or maybe even in a couple of years. but not now. she knows it’s not gonna work out.

“so... that’s it, huh?” she laughs quietly. there is a kind of pain that in that sound that tears your heart apart. you love her, you still do — but it’s not the kind of love it was before.

there is no use in trying to force a flower to bloom again when it already wilted.

she’ll miss you more than anything. of course she will, but, if that makes you happier, she supposes she’s a little bit happy too. no matter how much it will hurt.

Childhood friends to Lovers troupe with Keqing, Ayaka, Yoimiya, Lisa, and Kokomi? Thank you 🙏🙏

Childhood Friends to Lovers

Characters: Keqing, Ayaka, Yoimiya, Lisa, Kokomi x gn!reader

Warnings: none

A/n: Ah simple yet one of my favorite troupes to write for 😎

• You watched Keqing grow up from a young girl to a remarkable woman. Liyue’s Yuheng nonetheless was achieved by nothing short of her power and tenacity.

• Keqing had two favorite people growing up, you and her Grandfather. Nobody could deal with her stuck-up attitude, so she naturally only got close to you with her Grandfather no longer present.

• She didn’t depend on anyone, not even the Archons themselves. But the more you relied on her, she found herself relying on you. It’s not like she needed you, but socially you two isolated yourselves in a little bubble from the rest of Liyue.

Keqing was always unintentionally harsh with her words, her title as Yuheng didn’t necessarily help. Because of these two factors, many decided actively to keep their distance from her. That was except you, even as she grew older and her words grew harsher, you never left her side.

You sat together enjoying dinner at Wanmin after a night of endless shopping, two of Keqing’s favorite pastimes. Suddenly she began to get sentimental, “I often reminisce on the times when we were children. And I’d like to thank you for sticking by my side.” She was speaking oddly formal with you.

“Of course Keqing, you don’t have to thank me,” you could tell she didn’t believe your words of dismissal.

“No really, I feel you could do so much more. Spend your nights achieving great things in Liyue. But our relationship prevents you from networking,” she looked shameful. “It's just as others say, if I never had this spiteful personality I’d be more approachable. And with you by my side, others assume the worst.”

“Then pay no attention to them,” you held her hand from across the table. “Why do you think I’ve been with you since childhood? Without you, I am not complete.”

“Then I’ll hold you accountable,” she blushed slightly at your bold statement. You were determined to shed her if her insecurities of you.

• When Ayaka’s parents passed at such a young age, you were the only one there for her as support. Ayato as the eldest son was far too busy to deal with Ayaka.

• You remember all her sleepless nights crying in your arms when she realized her mother was never coming back. You sympathized with her becoming her closest friend.

• She grew up to become the Shirasagi Himegimi- a literal princess is Inazuma. Even though you had undeniable feelings for her, you felt you couldn’t even hold a candle to her greatness.

With the announcement of the Vision Hunt Decree, the Yashiro Commission grew hectic. Ayaka being the head of the snake to the rebellion on Narukami Island, grew stressed and unstable. At one point she found herself outside your room late at night, like when you were younger.

You two lay facing each other, although you were much older, Ayaka still found comfort when sleeping beside you. She reached for your empty hand, embracing the warmth of it. “Remember when we were younger, we would sleep together frequently? that was nice.”

“I do remember,” you said, your heart racing out of your chest. Since then much had changed, including your feelings towards Ayaka.

“I wish we could do this more often. I miss sleeping beside you,” you wondered if she meant it. And if she did, did she understand the connotation behind it? That you two weren’t children anymore, and how two adults don’t sleep in the same bed without underlying meanings.

She closed her eyes and you heard light breathing from her. After a couple of minutes, you assumed her idle figure was asleep already, and you couldn’t help yourself but shuffle a little closer to her body. Closing your own eyes before you heard a gentle, “thank you for allowing me to sleep here for the night, I love you,” From her.

• Yoimiya as a young girl was naive and nothing more than trouble. She would get herself in scrimmages because of folklores she heard the grown-ups talking about. Often dragging you along.

• Every kid in the neighborhood wanted Yoimiya on their side, she was so popular. But something about you drew her to you. Out of everyone she would choose you, she still would even as you two grew up together.

• You two were like two peas in a pod. Yoimiya grew smarter and became the adult telling the folklores. You watched her grow up to be a fine young lady, something she was destined to be.

Yoimiya was nothing short of beautiful. The Naganohara Fireworks business booming because of her spiffy attitude and her handiwork. Everyone’s sons lined up to be wedded to her. But in her father’s eyes, nobody was qualified for her hand in marriage except you. However, in Yoimiya’s eyes, she belonged to nobody.

You both sat atop a random grassy hill on Narukami Island, Yoimiya feeling down in the dumps because of her father. Because of his poor hearing, he spoke louder than most. This time around, he yelled on the streets asking you when you were going to propose to his daughter.

Frankly, it was embarrassing for Yoimiya. You had already come to terms with your feelings for your childhood friend, yet you only pretended it bothered you for her sake. “I’m sorry about my father,” she said somberly.

“It’s no worries Yoimiya. Trust me I don’t mind,” you felt a little off lying to her. And most importantly lying to her. “You know I’m always here for you right?”

She buried her head deeper into her legs, curling into a compressed ball. “I know, I just don’t like when he acts like that. I mean, it’s crazy right?” It sounded as if Yoimiya was trying to convince herself of her own words, afraid you’d find her disgusting if you found out her mutual crush on you.

“I don’t think it’s crazy,” you admitted. She couldn’t believe her ears, but she wanted to believe it so badly.

“You really think that?” She murmured.

• Lisa was a prodigy despite her lazy attitude towards everything. No matter the importance she was always falling asleep, so you followed her to Sumeru Academy to prevent her from falling under.

• Thanks to you she stayed on top of everything, she believed she owed you a lot even though it was all her doing. She said you were moral support.

• When you both grew up you followed her to Mondstadt where you continued to be her moral support. You watched her become the Purple Rose in everyone’s hearts. It didn’t take long for Lisa’s duties to override your time with her.

“I noticed you’ve gotten closer to that traveler recently,” You mentioned dusting off some bookshelves. The past week you felt a significant difference in your relationship with Lisa. You felt she was slipping from your grasp, and your hold on her was weakening.

“Ara~ that cutie? Yeah there’s something about them that’s different from the rest, I feel as if they can save us from Stormterror’s reign.” Your teeth clenched at the nickname.

“But can we rely on an outsider? I mean, we really know nothing about them,” you hid your intentions behind your fake smile. Lisa wasn’t dumb though, growing up with you she knew exactly what game you were playing.

“Oh do I sense jealousy?” She approached closer, running her hand over your shoulders with a playful smirk. Her voice echoing with sultry through your eardrums. “Don’t get me wrong that darling has much potential, but allow me to put your mind at ease.”

She went to a small whisper in your ear, “In my eyes, nothing is more interesting than you.” She giggled lightly, her lips brushing your earlobes causing you to blush madly. “remember that okay?”

• As a young girl Kokomi was strangely introverted for how much attention she received as the future Divine Priestess. Being one of her few friends, she chose you to be her closest attendant.

• As Kokomi came to age, she had many people attempt to court her. The difference between you and them was motives. They sought Kokomi out for power, political stance, and service. You loved her for who she was but in secret.

• No matter how rich, how stunning, or how strong each candidate was, Kokomi would reject them without hesitation. You would wonder as to why, she was a budding young woman, and had much potential.

There it was, another suitor kissing the back of Kokomi’s hand as they’re sent off. You’d never openly admit it, but it killed you inside to see a bunch of random diplomats attempt to seduce your best friend. You watched from afar behind the corner. Clutching your chest you got lost in your thoughts. Why did it even bother you so much in the first place?

“Are you okay?” Kokomi inquired, you didn’t even notice her approach you. She gently grabbed your hand and took it away from your chest. “You’re always so rough with yourself, please be gentle for me.” 

“Ah, sorry Kokomi. I didn’t mean to worry you,” you still found it a little hard to stray your thoughts from Kokomi.

“No worries, I’m right here,” She placed your hand on her bosom. You felt her heartbeat strongly underneath her dress. You couldn’t prevent the blush that tainted your cheeks, avoiding eye contact to tame your feelings. “Hey, what’s wrong lately? You’ve never acted like this before with me?” You hesitated, what good would confessing to Kokomi do? Worst case scenario. she rejects you and you no longer have the same relationship as you did before. 

“Could it be you’ve developed a little crush on me finally?” She smirked trying to make light of the situation. You couldn’t tell if she was joking or not, her smile seemed to have a deeper meaning. Her pale blue eyes try to read your feelings through your raw reaction.  

Please spread the word.

Synopsis: slow dancing > literally anything else that’s considered intimate

Warnings: none

Game/ fandom: genshin impact

Characters: ayaka, hu tao, and ei

Pronouns for reader: gender neutral/ not mentioned

A/n: beans :>

— Ayaka —

You’d expect her to be like “hegshksh ah OH MY GOD”

But no

She actually is more relaxed than ever

As you grab her hand, and start dancing with her, she takes the lead. Any stiffness she had before, washes away, as she is now perfectly calm, and in a headspace that’s completely… natural

— hu tao —

With hu tao you have to time it right

I think dancing for hu tao is like what bread is to butter, sure it’s good on its own, but with extra things like, bacon, avacado, toasting it, having it in the morning with some eggs, you know the outside factors, or the things you can add to it. Those are what truly make the bread and butter.

Slow dancing with her randomly on a walk around wuwang hill, is where it feels best. The creepy atmosphere, mixed with the, red, setting sun is truly… amazing.

— Ei —

Ei I think would be very… nervous.

I don’t think she dances, nor can she dance, so you’d have to lead a fair amount, sure she’ll get it eventually but… that takes a while

Feet clashing, and huffs of frustration from Ei are common, but your encouragement and laughter that is truly pure, makes it all worth it in the end.
