Fealty ⊱⊰ Glossary

𝔾𝕝𝕠𝕤𝕤𝕒𝕣𝕪:

ADEPTI ✤ An elite group of Knights, they personally act on orders of Jade Moon's Champion.

ARCHONS ✤ The Celestial Beings that look over their Kingdoms, they do not engage in wars themselves unless they deem it necessary, and are the ones who choose the Champions.

CHAMPIONS ✤ The Sovereign of a Kingdom. Rulers are always the Mages with the highest magical properties. More often than not, they go to war. They can be replaced whenever the Archons want. If they are alive whilst being replaced, the preceding Champion moves into the Royal Court where they can file into any division they want.

ETERNAL IRIS ✤ 'Inazuma'. A neutral Kingdom allied with the faraway Kingdom of White Frost.

FOUR WINDS ✤ Sapphire's division of the army. Each is led by one of the strongest Mages or Knights.

HEIRS ✤ 'Crown Prince' / 'Crown Princess'. Commonly, being an Heir means that they are the successors of the Champions, once again chosen by the Archon. There are instances when Archons do not choose Heirs, however, since it's not a necessity. Champions can choose their own heirs. But if this were to be the case, being an heir doesn't mean that they are next in line to be the Champion—because crowning and recognizing one is only the duty of an Archon. So instead, Heirs chosen by Champions are instead guaranteed a spot in the Royal Court. In terms of ranking, Heirs are the third most powerful, starting from Archons - Champions - Heirs. These can step in as Regents when a sovereign has faced an untimely death and the Archon is yet to choose the successor. INFERNAL ASSEMBLY ✤ A fighting division in Eternal Iris's Royal Court that oversees their Kingdom's elite Knights.

JADE MOON ✤ 'Liyue'. The most prosperous Kingdom due to its abundance of Mages. Also the land that waged an ongoing war.

KNIGHTS ✤ Cavalrymen. They lack magic but are not insufficient in the ways of their kingdom's blade.

MAGES ✤ Humans blessed by magic. Their abilities can range from cultivating the land to unleashing chaos.

MAGIC ✤ A rarity. Anyone can study about it but that doesn't guarantee that they will be blessed by magic. Despite learning about it, it is all for naught if one isn't blessed—the percentage of being given such power is a low 10%, hence the rarity of Mages.

MARKS ✤ The insignias of each Kingdom. Every citizen is born with one. These marks are classified into two, saturated and nonsaturated. Mages have colored marks, a sign of unlocked magic, and citizens' range from black and grey.

ROYAL COURT ✤ Includes the Kingdom's National Commanders, Judges, Advisors, and those that oversee the government. Mages and non-Mages make up the Court.

REGENT ✤ Appears as a step-in when there is a lack of a Champion. These can be the Heirs, otherwise, they are determined by the Royal Court of each Kingdom or by the Archons.

SAPPHIRE GALE ✤ 'Mondstadt'. The Kingdom that stole Mages from the opposing land of Jade Moon, and is currently on the verge of defeat.

WHITE FROST ✤ 'Snezhnaya'. A faraway Kingdom to the North. Allied with Eternal Iris.

loading...albedo x gn reader, venti x gn reader, xiao x gn reader

summary: they turned into catboys lol (headcanons)

warnings: nil

(enjoy your meal <3 also xiao has a lot of my comments bc i'm biased lol)

download completed!

◇ Albedo was nekofied because of a failed experiment

◇ He is very curious about this! Is eager to test his new capabilities, especially when he realises his senses are enhanced. So much so that he is cooped up in his lab for days doing various tests before actually creating a cure,,

◇ If you express interest in his condition, Albedo would allow you to help him with his experiments

◇ Catbedo is so cute- when something catches his interest, his eyes dilate when he is thinking, his tail swishes from side to side aAAAAA

◇ Klee would bomb more fish to give to her big bro so you and Albedo have to step in to stop her lest Jean comes after you

◇ Klee is also interested in catbedo! Will ask Albedo to crouch down so she can pet his head then run off immediately to bomb some stuff, yknow usual kid stuff lol she also draws a lot of catbedo :3

◇ Albedo is not a people purson that’s an mistype but I’m keeping it in so he would dislike the extra attention when he goes out in public :( tries his best to ignore it though and sighs/groans when someone points out his cat features

◇ If it gets too annoying, he would wear his hood over his head more often or ask you to gather supplies for him (hopefully the former bc Albedo with his hood on is so hot-)

◇ I think once he realises that you may get flustered by his new look, he will absolutely tease you about it like the smug piece of chalk he is <3 He will jokingly end all of his sentences with “meow” (or incorperate it into his speech) for a while when you two are alone

◇ KDHSJSJS When you deny his request for something, he rubs his cheek against yours and pouts just because he decides he wants to be a piece of shit <3 he’s so mean 🙄 i love him 😫

◇ Once he reverts, he will definitely try to recreate the potion and try to convince you to drink it so you can ✨experience it✨

◇ For the sake of his sanity, let’s say Venti's allergy poofed when he turned into a cat

◇ Obviously his first move is to go to Cat’s Tail to splurge on wine since now he doesn’t have to worry about all the cats (you’re paying of course <3)

◇  He fits right in! The cats are drawn to his ears and songs

◇ Absolutely lets you pet his ears and will act more cutesy to gain your attention (would even meow for you because he is a simp)

◇ If you thought Venti was clingy before, he’s way, way, waaaaaaaaaay more affectionate now

◇ Venti would break stuff if you don’t pay attention to him, even demanding for wine and food more and would break stuff if you didn’t give it to him (ooc but we're making the excuse that it's because of his cat instincts okay? okay)

◇ cats are such brats smh

◇ Venti overly concerned about returning to his original form because now at least his allergy is gone

◇ 50/50 chance that you would be the one begging to change him back because he’s EXTRA whiny in this form

◇ When he actually shuts up, Venti is content with burying his head into your chest/lap while you play with his ears and tail

◇ Savour that moment because he may start meowing randomly at 2am later <3

 ◇ XIAO MY MEOW MEOW MY EVERYTHING THE ORIGINAL CATBOY

◇ Xiao is confused and super embarrassed because one: he’s a cat, cat = cute but cute ≠ him! (that's what he thinks but we all know he's wrong 🙄)

◇ Two: You look so interested in his new features and so eager to touch them! He is not used to the physical affection and the attention is a bit overwhelming for him

◇ But Xiao would let you touch his ears and tail in private, ONLY in private though

◇ Xiao loathes being seen in public especially with his new features so once he is down exterminating demons, he immediately teleports in fear of someone spotting him OMG IMAGINE HIM GOING LAMENT 👹 DISAPPEAR 👹 WITH CAT EARS LMAO

◇ Xiao is the most eager to find a way to revert his condition even though he will miss your look of adoration and excitement which means you two will have to look for Zhongli, much to Xiao’s initial harsh refusal and further embarrassment

◇ Xiao unconsciously hisses when he sees something he doesn’t like along with other catlike traits

◇ LIKE HE PURRS WHEN HE SLEEPS FDSKSGSKSSKSH

◇ Xiao subconsciously gets jealous when you pay attention to the cat at Wangshu Inn more than him, especially if he can smell its scent on you so he will proceed to be more affectionate towards you to “mark” you with his scent

◇ Thankfully for him, Xiao is able to revert to his normal self thanks to Zhongli's help (but he's still our catboy even without his ears and tail <3)

Debt

The alternate ending I would've wanted for not-Bedo u_u

Simple things you do that gets their hearts pounding (pt. 2)

characters; Xiao, Gorou, Albedo, Eula, Ganyu, Ei

part one |

Xiao

He keeps telling himself that as an adeptus, he shouldn't show any type of weakness towards you, since he wants to be reliable and dependable in your eyes. He doesn't want you treating his wounds like he's as brittle as pristine glass. But seeing the genuine care in your eyes as you slowly lift his chin, shuts him up completely. "Just leave this to me, okay?" He nods obediently, closing his eyes as his pain gets drowned out by his loud, thudding heart.

Gorou

You might view that petting his head is a light-hearted action, but each time you ruffle his hair heartily with that smile of yours, he can't think of anything else besides what he's seeing. Seeing you laugh at the way his ears twitch and slowly burn red gets him back into reality. He gently pushes your hand away, coughing into his other palm with rosy cheeks. "Please stop it." He leaves the scene quickly, but his wagging tail tells you that he didn't mean what he said at all.

Albedo

The cool, calm and collected air that surrounds him tends to make people around him quite shy, so when his lover gets quite assertive, by either initiating kisses on his hand/neck, or pinning him onto a wall jokingly causes his brain to temporarily short circuit. He doesn't know to react properly, but he's quite intrigued on why you suddenly seem way more attractive than normal. And why is his heart beating faster?

Eula

"Quit staring." She scoffs, making her way to you in quick strides, but you laugh at her words. "Is it so wrong to admire such a beautiful being?" As soon as her ears received your response, she nearly tripped on her heels, but she quickly catches herself gracefully by taking your shoulders. When you ask her what's wrong, she glares right into your eyes, her orbs glimming with determination. "I will exact vengeance upon you by staring harder!"

Ganyu

Simply reassurance. The happiness she feels is no joke when you tell her that it's alright to eat qingxins when you're on dates, not wanting for her to feel uncomfortable about the food you bought. She clutches the basket of qingxins you got near her chest. "...thank you." Her head hangs low, hiding her redness from your sight as you laughed in response. "To be honest, I'd like to see you get a bit chubby." Her heads shoots up in response. "Eh??"

Ei

The raiden shogun is very aware of the fact that you don't enjoy being in her plane of euthemia, but the surprise in her face is evident when she gets a message from her puppet, saying that you insisted on wanting to visit her despite not liking the gloom atmosphere in her consciousness. The moment you enter, the skies in the dimension light up to a beautiful shade of blue and purple instead of a dark red, signaling you that she's indeed happy to see her lover again.

random quotes i wrote yesterday at 4am instead of being asleep and the genshin character that said it;

CHILDE: "you did so much with the little life that goes through your veins; who knows what you will conquer tomorrow? how exciting it is to dream of victories."

DILUC: "you will make it far, if only you are willing to face, and accept, your failures and flaws."

AETHER: "don't for a second ignore your value for people who don't even know your name, much less your history."

ALBEDO: "maybe one day you will see all the bright yellows and reds and all the pretty pinks and blues. but until then, i am more than happy to be your pallet of morbid colors."

KAZUHA: "I will love you until you're ready to love. And then, i will love you more and never stop loving you. For as long as I have you alive in my memories, I won't be able to love anyone else."

KAEYA: "and if the day come where you shall leave, take me with you, for i won't be able to exist in a world without you."

XIAO: "i am covered in fear. fear of losing you, fear of pushing you away. fear of not being enough and fear of being too much. but mostly I'm afraid of getting lost as I ask you to stay, when I know you need to go."

THOMA: "so let the entire world know! let the world paint our names in their mouth when they talk about lovers. and let it dry and shut their lips for our love shall never vanish once spoken upon by the world."

BENNETT: "kiss me again. and again. and just one more time. and again for the memories. and one more for the good times. and again as proof of your love for me."

ZHONGLI: "my body was molded to fit yours. my hands are begging for yours. my heart does not stop singing your name. and my soul is only satisfied in your presence. my whole existence is shaped for you."

late nights

[Pairing/s: Platonic!Venti x Reader]

Genre: Fluff, comfort

Warning: None

Note: I couldn't fall asleep, so I write. Grammatical errors will be edited in the morning, ehe.

"Shall I sing you a lullaby to help you fall asleep?" Your bard friend suggested after you told him about your little predicament, unable to fall asleep because of your active mind and a wild imagination that scared you enough for you to not be able to fall asleep. How he got into your room? Well, the wind vision bearer bard had heard you through the wind that entered your room as you sigh and complain to yourself about your situation and wanted to help, so he claims, maybe he just wanted to sleep over cause he has no where else to rest for the night.

"That would be highly appreciated, Venti" he smirk upon hearing your reply and immediately took out his lyre to play you a tune, a famous lullaby that every children of Mondstadt knew, familiar words enter your ears that you remember your mother used to sang to you when you were just a little lass, accompanied by Venti's comforting voice that you grew familiar and fond of.

Your body instantly relaxes, your eyes growing drowsy with every word that spills from the Bard's mouth, you grew sleepier and sleepier until your eyes grew tired enough to close, your body sink into the comfort of your mattress whilst your consciousness drift off to dreamland, finally getting your rest.

Venti ended the lullaby and placed his lyre aside, to cover you up with your blanket that protects you from the cold of the night, quietly he stare at the tranquil expression you wear as you sleep.

"Sweet dreams, (Y/N)"

Omg omg squid game requests?! May I request a scenario where reader partners up with bakugou or todoroki to play the marble game? they don't know whats gonna happen and then "thanks for playing with me." line then BANG 😩 I hope it's not to confusing feel free to ignore it

Thank you ❤

Why not both?

Slight spoilers for the 4th game! Proceed with caution!

Squid Game AU Masterlist

Squid Game AU - Playing the marble game with Shoto Todoroki

You will compete with your partner in a marble game of your choosing. The loser will be eliminated.

"The game is simple," Shoto says, his ten marbles simply lying in the palm of his open hand. They should be the promise of something fun, a nice afternoon spent playing games with friends, and yet, you know they'll be coated in blood soon enough.

Will it be his or yours?

"Here are the only two rules. Listen well."

His free hand rises until softly stroking your shoulder, the gesture meant to be reassuring and yet bringing a cold shiver down your spine. It's one of the last times he's touching you, you know. It's one of the last times you can raise your eyes to his and gaze into his mismatched irises. It's one of the last times he gets to look at you lovingly, the promise of a future together stolen far too early by a stupid game of marbles.

"The rules are: you win, and I lose."

Your blood freezes in your veins. This can't be happening. This can't be happening. This can't be happening. Shoto doesn't give you enough time to protest and instead grabs your wrist in his lean, icy cold fingers to slip every single one of his marbles in your palm.

You feel like you can't breathe.

You feel like you're going to die if he says another word.

You feel like you've already been shot and yet you're the one with a golden ticket to your future and not him.

The stupid, unwanted future he won't be a part of.

"Shoto, you can't-"

"Sir?" he calls the masked guy standing stiffly next to the two of you. "We're done here. I lost."

It all goes so fast you don't even see it coming, not while your whole world is crumbling right under you feet at the exact same speed the man in a triangle mask raises his weapon towards Shoto's forehead.

"Don't look," he says with a soft, rare, kind smile. And, then, he whispers, lower, with a tenderness that stabs you in the chest to leave you torn open, bleeding to death. "Love you."

You don't obey his last demand, don't fulfill his last wish.

You look, and blood splatters on your face, in your eyes, on your lips as the bullet goes through his head, as he falls down to his knees and then on the ground, his body now cold, lifeless as it rests next to the stupid marbles that have slipped from your trembling fingers.

They're coated in his blood, now.

Squid Game AU - Playing the marble game with Katsuki Bakugo

"You're fucking kidding me," Bakugo growls, and it's the kind of sound that means nothing good is going to happen now, not if he has a say in it. The kind of sound that means fury is running in his veins, rage burning its way through his chest and brain, hatred coating his heart wholly and fully and leaving nothing behind but a trail of blood in Bakugo's wake.

You're not even sure if he noticed, but he caught your hand in a firm and yet tender grip as soon as the voice pronounced the deadly words.

In this game, you will compete with your partner.

Meaning one of you will get shot in the head in less than 30 minutes. And there is no escape, no way out now that the game has started. One of you will get to walk away from this hell of a fake little town, leaving the other's corpse behind, lying in a pool of blood.

Bakugo lets go of your hand to catch the masked man standing next to you by the collar of his red outfit. You hear him gag a bit under the black metal covering his face, but there's no struggling against Bakugo of all people. He could break anyone's neck with a flick of his wrist if only his opponent wasn't carrying a rifle in his gloved hands.

"What the fuck does this mean?" he barks, and for the first time, there isn't only pure anger dripping from his tone. Raw despair pulls at his vocal chords too, just like it pulls at your thoughts, at your chest, at your heart.

"Katsuki," you call, voice wavering as the masked man raises his weapon to your boyfriend's chest.

Bakugo has no choice but to step back, teeth gritted and fury in his gaze.

28 minutes left.

"I'm not going to play with you," he says then. "Think I care about those stupid marbles?" In a gesture filled with angry violence, he snatches your little satchel from your fingers and opens it with a snarl to slip his marbles inside. "Here, take them all. 'm not going to play with your life over some dumb fucking toys."

You try to get the satchel back from him, but he pushes you away.

"Wait, Katsuki! You have to play with me, you have to!"

You wouldn't be able to live with yourself if he laid his life out for you, and of course, you know, neither could he. He eyes you with a frown, assessing the situation, the little light in his gaze telling you that he does understand that you can't let him go down with a fight, because after all, that's what he is.

A fighter.

"Let's have a game with a 50% chance of winning, right, Kats'? Let's say I put a marble in one of my hands, if you can find the empty one you get my marbles, if you can't then I get yours."

After a few seconds, he nods.

He trusts you.

He shouldn't, not when both of your hands are empty, not when he finds nothing in your palm when you uncurl your fingers to show him the one he chose, not when you give him an apologetic smile as despair creeps over his features, taking over every single emotion in his crimson eyes.

"You win," you tell him, sliding the satchel in the pocket of his sweats.

You think he curses you, calls you something filthy, maybe tells you that he loves you, every single word slipping from his lips with the strength of an anchor pulling at your heart until it sinks down in your chest, until it disappears into the abyssal depths of the love you bear for the man you just saved by forfeiting your life.

He hates you for that now, but it's alright.

"Love you," you whisper as the shot echoes around the room.

And you don't see it, but maybe he falls down to his knees next to your corpse, and maybe he cradles it while crying for you, blood staining his fingers as he pushes back the strands of your hair that have fallen in front of your closed eyes. And maybe he holds you so strongly that his knuckles have turned white, and maybe Kirishima and Izuku have to pull him from your lifeless body so he'll be out of the room by the end of the countdown because he just can't make himself leave you behind. And maybe he hates them too as they do so, and maybe he hates the whole world and the rest now that there's nothing, no one left for him there.

And maybe he'll see you again in his dreams and you'll play marbles then but this time, he'll simply kiss you better if you loose.

Fluffvember Day 20: Secret Crush

༻Aether༺

You couldn’t get over how amazing this traveling hero was and how cute he was as well, you didn’t even know his name but you still felt like you could go up and help him out with whatever's going on. Currently gushing about him to your friends in Liyue, hanging next to some stairs all scattered about and laughing at your blushy face, teasing you for being so in love. “You don’t even know his name! What if he’s just putting up an act?! What then?!” Shaking your head and starring out into the harbor, “I don’t care that I don’t know his name. He’s not acting, I can tell. From what I’ve seen he just wants his sister back, he would never hurt someone. He’s kind and caring, and more selfless than he should be.”

They all looked at you trying to lighten the mood by asking you what would happen if you met him and what your ideal date would be, all you wanted was to talk to him and help him find his sister. Yes, part of you wanted him for yourself but if it meant him being happy then so be it. You brushed off their comments and stood up, brushing off your clothes and waving them off before teasing them and having them chase after you. “Oh yeah? Come on! After all that teasing it’s more than fair!” Smiling brightly with no care in the world and ran down the steps, carefully to not slip while full of adrenaline.

What you didn’t know what that Aether was coming down from a meeting with Zhongli about Inazuma and its archon, he’d seen you around and you had helped him with the missing posters and with the service. He didn’t expect to hear you singing his praises and defending him so plainly, respecting his goal and what he did. You were beautiful and so kind, when he first met you Paimon teased him for zoning out for a second. Aether heard Paimon laugh at his red cheeks and he leaned against the railing as he processed your confession, replaying your laugh and smile in his mind. Guess his secret crush liked him back.
