~windy Flirting~

Haven't seen the update yet so ScarAether request will come later.

For now may I please requests Aether being comforted by Venti?

Specifically, if you are ok with extra prompting, Aether comes home crying because the world is too stressful: he feels betrayed by Zhongli(because gnosis deal), he technically still lost to the fatui despite going through so much, and various other problems like how everything seems to want him dead.

Aether goes through so much I want him to be comforted T_T

Well... We didn't get much new information on Scara, so it won't majorly change how I write him for now.

Btw, I prefer more, so the 'extra prompting' is a perfect request! Here you go.

[[ Summary: Overwhelmed by the world, Aether comes back to the first nation that had welcomed him, and the one he found himself returning to time and time again, and its Archon.

Word Count: 756 ]]

Aether was shaken when he had first defeated the poor dragon, Stormterror, and had nearly fallen to the ground, saved just barely... He was torn up when he had seen an entire nation be nearly consumed by the ocean and the beasts deep within, only surviving by those who have yet to abandon again. And once again, he was rattled when his own life was taken, and he had been forced within the mind- the heart- of the Electro Archon herself.

And all of that, all of that, the Fatui had still gotten the third Gnosis-- Perhaps fourth, if you count the Tsaritsa's... but he just didn't understand anymore. More and more, he felt that he was little more than a pawn in the massive game of chess that the Fatui had forced him through.

"Aether?" Paimon asked, fluttering beside, "So... We can't do much right now. The Chasm's locking us off from, uhm, Sumeru... what should we do now?"

Aether looked down at the Serenitea Pot in hand.

"Home." He said, softly. Paimon looked at the Teapot, then back up at him,

"Home?"

He turned his gaze to the north.

"Home."

And, as always, she knew what he meant.

Home was not a place, but a person. And while his sister would always be his first home, his family, he found a home away from home.

Him.

How mushy- Lumine would tease him over it, but right now, his heart ached and there were tears in his eyes. Maybe he had a right to be a little mushy.

But it was time to go home.

To Mondstadt.

...

Common as it were, Venti had not been in the Angel's Share as of yet, nor was he singing before his statue, in the Cathedral, in the palms of the statue...

And Aether even tried to check the Cat's Tail, but both Diona and Margaret attested to not knowing where Venti was.

"Aether?" Paimon asked, softly, "It's okay... Maybe we should go check Windrise again, that silly bard it-"

She was cut off by the choked up sob, Aether rushing behind the nearest building, and sitting down, his head on his knees, hugging his legs to his chest, and he sobbed.

Could nothing go right? Could nothing be okay?! Was he just meant to wander endlessly, and to lose all he loves save for the one he has to take care of? Was-

The tickling breeze, and Aether gasped, suddenly his sobs were gone, only dramatic breathing, and with a light touch atop his head, he saw Venti floating down from above, landing gracefully, and shifting to stand on one knee, "Hey, sorry, Dvalin wanted to talk... But I'm okay."

The words Aether didn't know he needed.

He leapt at Venti, wrapping him in a tight hug, knocking him back onto his ass, barely keeping himself from falling back further and hitting his head on the hard, stony ground, Aether hiding his face in the crook of his neck...

"Hey, it's alright, it's alright... I'd say 'I missed you too', but I have a feeling this is about more than missing me."

Aether nodded against him, and just hugged him tighter, prompting a soft squeak from Venti.

"Don't-Don't crush me, I'll turn back into a spirit... It's okay, I'm not going anywhere." He reassured, tilting his head to the side slightly, "Talk to me, my little warrior, what's wrong?"

"Hurt," Aether said, between his pathetic little whimpers, "Hurt..."

"You're hurt?" Venti asked, "Inside or outside?"

"Inside."

Venti's hand was able to worm between their bodies, resting on his stomach, resulting in it tensing from old wounds that still had yet to fully heal, "Outside..."

"Aether..." Venti sighed, smiling... and... he laughed. "You're ridiculous, you're hurt and beat up and you go all the way from Inazuma just to get back here..." He pressed a kiss to Aether's forehead, "Why? Did you really miss me that much?"

"You," Aether sat up, "You," he braced his hands on Venti's chest, "You", he pushed him to the ground, "You," he was already lying on him, "Home."

Home.

This was his home. The only home not so quickly to be taken from him.

Venti, once again, laughed, a melodic sound that echoed through the alley, "Look... I love you too, but maybe we should get into the Teapot before some guards yell at us."

Aether froze, and still straddling Venti's waist, sat up, a light flush over his features... Embarrassment.

"And then I'll stay next to you aaaall night long, okay?"

"... okay."

Hogsmeade Weekend + Drarry

• The two of them were already pretty close friends, so it wouldn't be too awkward.

• Harry just didn't know how to tell Draco it'd be just the two of them; no Ron or Hermione.

• 'Harry, trust me, he wouldn't mind.'

• 'But what if he does, 'Mione?!'

• 'Tell him Hermione and I are going on a date.'

• 'Ronald!'

• Harry does manage to ask him (a day before the Hogsmeade weekend)

• Draco says yes, obviously, and they go together.

• It was easy for them to talk, and drink Butterbeer, and steal each others candy, and drink a little Firewhisky, and act like a couple.

• They got back late, laughing and slightly tipsy, but they quieted down once they entered the castle.

• Draco didn't remember when they'd exchanged scarves, but the Slytherin scarf made Harry's eyes appear brighter. He'd never admit Harry looked good in it, though.

• 'Thanks for today.' Draco whispered, smiling freely as he started walking away backwards. 'I ought to get back before Filch catches us.'

• Why is his smile so cute-'No problem, Draco. Best date I've ever been on.'

• Draco stopped and looked at Harry in confusion.

• 'Wait- that was a date?'

• Harry had not meant to say that out loud- but too late now.

• 'I mean... it could be. If you want it to be. Totally fine if you don't! It's not like I like you- no, wait, I don't not like you-'

• Harry stopped himself before he could continue rambling, and Draco laughed.

• 'Hogsmeade as a first date? Really, Potter? No, that wasn't a date. I'll take you somewhere better. Tomorrow.' Harry could have sworn that his heart stopped for a second.

• 'So you don't mind going on a date with me?'

• 'Honestly, Potter.' Draco laughed again. Harry found that he liked this carefree Draco as well. 'The only one who hasn't noticed my crush on you, is you.'

• Draco winked and walked to his common room, while Harry stood like a statue for the next minute.

• When he got back to the common room, he was surprised to see Hermione and Ron awake.

• 'So, how was the date, mate?' Ron asked him the second he entered.

• 'Ron! He means, how was hanging out with Draco?'

• 'I've got a date tomorrow.'

• 'Bloody hell! Harry got a date faster than me!' 'It's not my fault you took years to ask, Ronald.' 'Harry took years to confess to Draco!' 'Hey!'

• The date the next day turned out to be the first of many.

How to explore the hotel at night

You’ve known the odd feeling you have when you traverse the halls of the hotel at night all your life. It is the other realm calling to you, you are just going about it wrong. Do not attempt if you are on the 4th floor.

Wait until it is after midnight, but before 3 am. Never leave your room at 3 am.

Be sure to have your keycard, you will need it to return safely. Take nothing else with you, they will steal it.

Put your hand on the door, and pray for a safe journey. It is not necessary, but it helps.

Exit the room with confidence. They will be watching.

Walk to one end of the hallway. Do not turn around, they are examining you.

Face the window and thank the moon for joining you. She will be your guardian; she will watch over you.

With the moon protecting you, count to three and turn around. You will immediately notice that the lights have dimmed. Do not be afraid, you have simply been accepted into the realm.

Walk slowly to the elevator. It will feel like you are walking through a thick syrup, but it is only the beings of the other realm greeting you.

Once inside, you will see the control panel will have multiple buttons to choose from. Never go to the 4th floor unless the moon has instructed you to do so.

You may explore wherever you please. Feel free to use all of your eight senses. You are welcomed as long as you do not take anything with you. Time has no meaning here, but it is up to you to remember it.

When you are ready to leave, return to the elevator.

Once inside, your heart will know the way home. Press the button and return to your floor.

Without turning around, exit the elevator on your floor and return to your room. They will say goodbye with a parting gift in your back pocket, but do not look at it.

Before entering your room, thank them for allowing you into their realm, and thank the moon for safe passage. Enter the room.

Go immediately to sleep, you will wake up in your own realm. The gift will be in your memories, so cherish it, whatever it might be.

Never return unless the moon commands it.

YESSSS IM BACK WITH ANOTHER VENTHER ART!!!

Venti really wants to buy that new maid 😏😏

aether: */wears a maid outfit

venti: 💳💥💳💥💥💥💳💳

hi! i just finished reading tts for the fifth time and i've just always wondered how you thought harry and louis meeting each other's families would go? family is obviously important to both of them throughout the fic so I just was wondering how it was for them to introduce that part of their lives to one another. Thank you and I absolutely adore you and your writing!

ok, i know you sent this a while ago and i’m sorry for not replying sooner. i have been thinking about this though and i have opinions. 

the way i imagine this whole thing going is that harry would be relatively chill about it all (normal meeting the fam stress but mostly excitement), while louis would be a nervous wreck about the whole thing and blow it wayyyyy out of proportion. like.... freaking the fuck out thinking it’s a bad idea, etc etc re: introducing HIS family to harry. i know, i know, it’s a bit of a role reversal re: their dynamic in the fic since louis is such a steady and strong figure in the story while harry is a little bit adrift (is louis a lighthouse amidst the troubled seas harry is drowning in????? yes. yes he is.) BUT it absolutely makes sense to me that it would be like this. here’s why. 

first of all, i think louis meets harry’s family first. a. because harry is so excited about it and really wants to make it happen relatively quickly and b. because THEY’RE so excited about it. they’ve heard so much about louis and they know how much he helped harry when he was struggling. they know louis helped him in ways they couldn’t because the pressure was somehow on. and they’re thankful and excited and eager to discover the person behind the stories. they’re very aware that this is a big deal and a big serious relationship for harry. because they’re so thankful and they kind of love him already through harry’s eyes and stories and smiles and improvements in general, it’s maybe a little less pressure ? and more of a welcoming into the family straight away kind of thing. i like to imagine maybe harry asks louis if his family could come and stay at the b&b and meet both louis and fair isle at the same time. so they do a little weekend with his parents and his sister so harry’s two worlds can collide. and it goes very well and it’s a pretty special bonding experience for all of them. louis and gemma become best friends pretty much instantly and cliff pretty much falls in love with anne. overall, a big big success. 

harry meeting louis’ family however... i can imagine that taking a little bit longer. the way i see it, i think louis being so protective of harry and his privacy, and not wanting for him to feel exposed or pressured, would want to delay the meeting a little. there’s a lot of youngsters in his family, teenage girls he now realises absolutely know who harry is and no matter how much he loves them and trusts them, it makes louis nervous. mostly, it makes louis nervous to think it could make harry nervous and he doesn’t want to put him in this position where he maybe doesn’t feel safe. harry, bless his heart, is blissfully unaware that that’s what concerns louis and kind of thinks maybe this is about some of louis’ homophobic more distant relatives that are mentioned in the fic. and he doesn’t want to pressure louis into putting himself in maybe a vulnerable position like that. meanwhile, louis just thinks that harry would be scared of being Exposed by the fans even though he KNOWS his sisters wouldn't do that, esp. if he asked them not to. but ofc, louis’ family don’t really know about harry at all, since he kept that pretty secret so while they know there’s a new relationship, they don’t really know the finer details. so it’s all a bit awkward and unsaid and there’s a lot of misunderstandings surrounding it. at some point, louis grows a pair and admits what he’s actually scared of and harry laughs. not his finest moment, but it’s a fond one, and he kind of admits it never even occurred to him to be worried since all the stories louis told about his mother and his siblings are wonderful. he trusts louis ergo he trusts them too. so they finally decide to pop for a visit. 

i can’t decide if i want louis to like... prep his family in a way that is completely ridiculous and over the top, with like a list of rules and questions they’re not allowed to ask and etc. and when harry gets there and everyone is kind of silent and awkward he’s like ????? until one of the oldest siblings admits there’s very little they can talk about under louis’ code of conduct and harry goes ‘oh fuck that’ which 100% endears him to everyone. louis’ mum goes ‘oh thank god, i thought you were ridiculously high maintenance and out of touch, but it was just louis being protective and stupid’. to which louis replies ‘i’m you’re child, you can’t call me stupid’ and she gives him such a scathing and judgemental look that he huffs and leaves the living room to go grab a drink. he pretends to be offended but by the time he’s in the kitchen by himself, he’s beaming. he doesn’t know what he was so worried about. 

OR..... there’s a part of me that’s like.... he wouldn’t tell them a single thing except ‘i’m bringing my boyfriend for the weekend’ and just show up with harry styles in tow, giving his sisters a fucking heart attack. one of them is literally listening to a harry styles song in her room when they show up. the music is way too loud and can be heard throughout the house. the words ‘i want to die’ are uttered out loud by louis and they haven’t even crossed the threshold yet. throughout dinner, louis glares at anyone who starts asking harry a question until harry goes ‘your face is gonna get stuck like that, what were you asking me about the brits?’ and the tension finally drops a little. one of the twins does drag harry up to her bedroom so he can sign her poster and louis has a mini existential crisis because there’s his shirtless boyfriend on her wall and he can’t believe he didn’t know. he feels mortified for 1.5 sec before he starts making fun of harry for the ridiculous photoshoot. 

yeah... i can’t decide but both is good. and both end well despite major drama (mostly made up by louis and his dumb brain). 

i don’t know if that’s what you wanted, but that’s the way i imagine it!

“What difference does that make?” He scoffed.

She shrugged.

“You can get drunk and confess how you feel and take it back afterwards if he doesn’t feel the same.”

That might work if Louis wasn’t in love with Harry. But Lottie didn’t know that and she didn’t need to find out.
