mona(莫娜)
☁︎︎ is super supportive of you ! as an astrologist herself, she knows the basics and would beg you to teach her a few spells or divination tricks outside of her own hydromancy skills
☁︎︎ she even offered to teach you hydromancy once you told her about you being a mage
☁︎︎ you guys spend lots of time together, talking about the stars, talking about new things you guys learnt, talking about ways on how to save money too (sadly TvT)
☁︎︎ bring you along with her to the market every sunday so you guys can get items you may need for spells and also cheap ingredients so that you can cook for yourselves instead of wasting money on food outside
childe(達達利亞)
☁︎︎ even though he isn’t very well verse in these kind of things, he’s really supportive of you and willing to hear about since its coming from you
☁︎︎ just saying but he’s definitely willing to sponsor your expenses so that you only get the finest products.
☁︎︎ makes you kiss him good luck and cast your spell stuff, as he likes to call it, before he enters a match or goes off to fight someone. something like, “bubs, can I have a kith please?”
☁︎︎ accompanies you to where ever you need to go so that he can learn alongside you. learn about how plants and gems all have different meanings, properties and uses.
This chapter is dedicated to @rrinsluvr who posted about a lack of kazuha SMAUs on tumblr yesterday!! Your post kicked my ass into gear your wish is my command :)
All I do on tumblr is gush about spray and I will continue to do so… Wtf I love this so much. Yet again, Spray is slaying and doing it flawlessly. This is SO CUTE and SO FUNNY and I love it. Chefs kiss.
i don’t think venti really gets flustered that often, yk ? he’s really good at playing it off and turning the tables on you
but that doesn’t in ANY way mean you can’t tryto fluster him
i think what’ll get to him the most isn’t you actively tryingto fluster him, per se, but these little domestic acts that you don’t even think much of.
pressing a little kiss to his lips before leaving your place ? his brain short circuits SJSJ
stuff like that though is all i can think of that would actually fluster him, so as for whathe does when he’s flustered
like i SWEAR hes trying not to make it that obvious but KSJ ?? he’ll freeze . like, i cant think of any other way he’d act other than staring at you mindlessly for nearly thirty seconds
his face will warm, and after he’s collected himself the BEST thing he can do is offer a half-assed compliment that is executed . horribly
someone save him JSJS
he rubs the back of his neck, and avoids eye contact purely bcz he’s afraid you’ll look at his face and tease him for the little dopey smile that just won’t go away
he’ll start rambling afterwards, talking about things that have absolutely nothingto do with anything at all . he’ll talk about the weather, about the knights, about music, i dont know he’ll talk abt whatever non stop just to get rid of the butterflies
do it again . i dare you
ಇ … xiao !
forget him . help me
. where do i even begin
godxiao is so . adorable when he’s flustered . everyone says it but hes sucha tsundere
again, i dont think theres a lotthat flusters him, mainly because sometimes he doesn’t really . get that you’re trying to fluster him sometimes
but he’s sucha sucker for praise & acknowledgement, purely because of his past and how he was treated ; it’s not in the “ you’re so skilled ! ” type of way, but more like praise he hasn’t heard from anyone buthis s/o.
call him pretty ? call him yourpretty boy ? hes gone . evaporated .
hug him from behind ? whisper an i love you in his ear ? its over for him . its over . you’re it for him JSSKS
his eyes go WIDE
he only offers you a small glance before looking as far away from you as he can because archons forbid you see the look on his face . he’d absolutely lose it
i hate saying the word blush but like . HE BLUSHES . the red hue that covers his entire face + the tips of his ears ? if youever saw that . no
of course he knows you’ve seen it . of course . that doesn’t make it any better JSJS
just having you see it makes him feel even worse ( not worse, really, but yk what i mean ) because hes an adeptus . he shouldnt be feeling this way
goes dead silent . he either glares at literally nothing , watches you through his peripheral, or complains about having to go do something because he doesn’t like how hot his face feels . he needs to leave so it can go away JSJS
ೃ note: if you enjoyed this, please do reblog! it helps a lot! and if you want to be a part of my taglist, answer this form! ♡ (also i’m really proud of my genshin sims so i thought this was a great way to implement them into my works <3)
Still in a very busy hiatus atm, but I took a lil time to look at notifications and comments, really brightened me up a lil thank you for the serotonin drops guys. I hope to be back fully soon!
Hiatus time!! I hope you guys liked the recent chapter, I’ll be answering asks and comments on it later. I’m aware that there are some inherent problems in the build up to all the explanations as to why who did what and etc etc. I have written series before and I really like to focus on emotional development, so I think my SMAU is heading more towards the realm of character drama for now. I want to focus on the faults of characters, silly things they have done, accepting (but not DISMISSING) things, and how people can move on from there. I know this is just fanfic but processing things is really important to me!! And I want it to be an important theme for the MC especially because if someone is treating you poorly in a relationship and refusing to communicate you deserve better.
Obviously for dramatic purposes kazu kind of looks like an a-hole for now but I promise there are important factors at play which will alll be revealed. However, I am NOT in anyway romanticising toxic behaviour and manipulative behaviour in a relationship. Kazuha canonically is lovely ofc, but definitely shown to be flighty and I interpret that as bad with committment. I have to establish the problems before I am able to fix them(JWJDJ Im sure no one even thought of it like that but trust the process yall I’m really not looking on toxicity in a favourable light). But please don’t take this as representative of my thoughts on what a good relationship should be. This is obviously dramatised for the sake of story too
Anyways I hope everyone stays well, and I will see you all some point soon!
This chapter is dedicated to albedocity on youtube (i doubt they will ever see this LOL) but their kazuha playlist gives me the best calming vibes while writing this, I can really imagine myself just sitting on a hill w/kazu watching the clouds. Please go check them out!!
Private QRTs don’t really work like that in twitter but it was a creative decision I took to make sure the formatting looked better . The locks more signify if it’s a private comment or not (locks are not shown for the original poster in the qrts as it’s their own comment section)
Xingqiu and Chongyun are v protective over y/n!! Xingqiu being more vocal about it.
If any problems for y/n arise Xingqiu and Hu Tao usually handle the admin/public side of it, while Chongyun and Benny are support hamsters
This was especially the case for the breakup too! (Nosy people at uni lol)
At the get together the gang watched a bunch of cheesy romcoms <33 it was a good time
Ayaka would be the best sister to someone who wears a hijab/headscarf. Super patient and kind and gets cutely excited to help do all sorts of intricate headscarf styles!!
Big brother Ayato who gets comfortable, beautiful prints of fabric too
A/N:Thank you so much to Quill for hosting this and giving me the perfect opportunity to write for my baby . I have fangirled about her blog on here for a bit but please go check out their main page!! They have an ongoing streamer Xiao SMAU (Cynosure) which I am a huge fan of. Congrats on 2.5, much love!!!
Sometimes, General Gorou feels a slight pressure looming above him. Though, it’s only something incredibly small.
“No- no please! Wake up… wake up!”
If reducing it as minuscule means he doesn’t have to look up at the precarious weight threatening to crush him, then he will keep looking ahead. Look at what’s in front of him. There’s no room for error- no room for the past.
“Please… please… I’ll do anything…”
General Gorou of the Watatsumi resistance- the reliable commander. The intelligent leader. The fierceless fighter.
But if he was so unafraid as he claims to be, why do the lifeless forms of his allies on the battlefield haunt him during sleepless nights?
“Please stay with me… I can’t lose you too!”
Why do his knees crumple when he sees your lifeless form, haphazardly discarded in the rain?
Isn’t he General Gorou? Isn’t he a fearless freedom fighter? Isn’t he the person who will lead Watatsumi Island to victory?
Gorou awakes to a throbbing memories, a blur of red, but most importantly, encased in your protective arms. You wipe away the tears threatening to spill- tears he hadn’t even noticed were there.
“Gorou! Shh.. shh…. I got you my love…”
He coughs, expecting blood, only for his throat to come up with a dry, choking sound.
You frown, smoothing his ruffled locks and rubbing comforting circles on his back.
But for some reason, it wasn’t enough, as he clung to you a like a lost child.
Your lover had been overworking himself for days, planning the reconnaissance mission to retrieve many allies captured under the vision hunt decree. The unknown fate of Kazuha alongside those disappearing under the Shogunate’s elusive hand weighed on his mind heavily.
“Gorou- my love, your throat must be hurting.”
“Let me get you a drink, or some medicine? I’ll be back in just a minu-”
Gorou gazes up at you with weak eyes you can’t say no to. A slight pressure is exerted on your waist, bringing you back into bed.
“Please just stay with me, I don’t think I can be alone tonight.”
Ever selfless, you wonder what he must have saw to request something like that in the first place. Slowly, you climb back into bed with him. He encases you in strong arms, bringing you ever closer to his chest.
“I can tell you had a bad dream. Can’t you tell me what it was about, love?”
He hums slightly, burying his face in your hair.
“It was um… Guuji Yae you see. She refused to give back my dango in the dream… and would not relent taunting me.”
You raise an eyebrow at that, pinching his cheek. Gorou only offers a weak smile, but your heart blooms at the resilient twinkle coming back into his eyes.
“My sweet- I am not one of your soldiers that need placating. You don’t need to be General Gorou around me.”
“WillGorou please tell me what’s going on in that head of his?”
Your lover chuckles, though you notice the tremor faintly present in his hold amidst his strong front.
He opens his mouth, before closing it abruptly. Gorou had always been bad at lying to you.
“I dreamed of you.”
You clutch his hand.
“I dreamed of losing you.”
“I was too late, like I always am.”
Now it’s your turn to feel your vision turn blurry; you look at the man in front of you. The man you love
The hairs on his tail are on edge- some even charred from assumed resistance training. Bruises and broken bones don’t just disappear once you become general.
When he hears the crack in your voice, he sweeps you up into a bone crushing embrace. With a wobbly voice of his own, he speaks in a hushed whisper.
“Please don’t cry. Not because of me.”
“You won’t lose me, Gorou.”
You reply in a vehemently angry tone. Anger at what, you’’re not quite sure.
“You are always enough. And the tides will turn- we won’t become accustomed to loss.”
“You have to believe me, Gorou.”
Eyes wet and shining, he gazes at you like some sort of miracle.
For the first time, Gorou sleeps at peace, as if the restless souls of his past look after him rather than torment him.
It’s still too early to predict who the turn of war will favor. But for now, it was enough to believe in your words.
“Y/N,” Xiao starts slowly, his voice quiet, ears capturing sounds of your movements as he tries to guess what you’re doing. “We’re going to be late. Not that I care, but you’ve said that it’s important to you.”
“I know, I know!” you respond thoughtlessly, too occupied with the task you’ve set to yourself. “I’m almost done, adding some details! We’re gonna leave in five minutes, don’t worry, don’t worry~”
Yaksha sighs. He’s not mad nor irritated, simply concerned. He keeps wondering what may be the matter you want to risk seeing the most important part of the event you’ve waited a few months for. Yet, he’s sure you wouldn’t make an ill-considered decision, so he stays quiet, with eyelids tightly shut as you’ve asked him to, his palms steady on thighs.
“Okay, I think I’m ready!” you exclaim, adding finishing touches to your creation. “You may open your eyes now.”
At first Xiao is silent, his golden irises capturing what’s in front of him, but as soon as he realizes that it’s not his imagination, that it’s really there, his heart fills with warmth, pupils widen and lower lip starts to tremble. “Have you done this all by yourself?”
You nod, kneeling in front of Yaksha, moving the lantern forward. Xiao’s fingertips shyly brush against the paintings, scared as if he could destroy it with a mere touch. The stories in front of him remind him of his whole life, his origins, former Yakshas, his bond with Morax, the tune that saved him, clouds he’s been soaring through and grounds he’s devoured. He has many, countless questions, yet the only one he decides to share with you seems to be the simplest of them all.
“Is it me?”
It sounds silly from his lips, yet by the way his voice trembles you don’t dare to let the smallest giggle slip. “Yeah!” A huge smile lightens up on your face as you scan his features. Saying that Xiao is moved would be a cruel understatement. He’s touched, filled with everything he’s been and everything he’s become at once.
“But–how…” he stutters, yet you cut him off immediately.
“I’ve done some research, that’s how!” you joke, caressing his cheek with your thumb. The man looks up at you with the watery eyes of his, a true, honest smile acting as the best reward you could possibly get. “I planned on keeping it if you like it. We can buy a new one at a stall.”
Xiao puts the lantern to the side, decreasing the distance between the two of you, his arms drawing you close into his embrace. He doesn’t say anything more, keeping you like this for a few long seconds until his quiet sniffles become inaudible. It’s his way of thanking you, no words needed, just a glimpse of physical affection and love mixed with gratitude coming straight from the bottom of his heart.
how do you like the lantern rite this year? i haven’t had the opportunity to play it a year ago, so it’s a new experience to me, but i think it’s pretty entertaining! with maybe a bit too many dialogues, but still, a funny little event with lots of primos ;)) not proofread; very suggestive; gn!reader
The time you and Beidou spend together is always precious, valuable even since both of you are often too busy to share morning kisses or have a conversation summing up the day before going to sleep. Her lips feel like home wherever the both of you are, be it in your shared bedroom, under the deck between completing your own duties, on the top of Guyun Stone Forest, or in a dark alley after you’ve ran away from your friends you’ve been spending Lantern Rite with. You always crave for more, as the woman hooks her slender fingers on your arms, travels with her palms lower to your hips and grasps your thighs, pushing you onto a bedside table or a dusty chest. A big grin grows on her face as your breathing becomes shallow with passing minutes. Beidou is a very knowledgeable woman, so she’s perfectly aware what should she do to make you act certain way, to have you feel specific feelings. And, oh, when she trails her lips down your neck to your chest, she’s wise with her movements, making you see sparkles under tight shut eyelids.
