Hello, do you think you could write some cuddle HC’s for Amber, Ganyu, and maybe Lumine?
amber and ganyu are going to be in pt 3 of the genshin ladies cuddle hcs that im working on, here’s some lumine in the meantime tho!
LUMINE
- damn u got lumine to sit still? the times you get to cuddle with her are often after doing daily commissions and quests, where the two of you just curl up on the grass with aching muscles
- likes to sit and lie back on your chest, enjoys hearing the sound of your heartbeat. it sets her at ease after hours of constantly having to be an edge, and aware of her surroundings (tilts her head up to press short fluttery kisses on your jaw...)
- lumine is 1000% the type to make flowercrowns, and possibly make them out of some hard to get flower like qixing because she thinks that they fit you. (*lumine drops from a 12392u3u ft tall cliff* hi i thought these would look nice on u :) lets snuggle n make flowercrowns )
- gets all pliant and snuggly during cuddles, and looks at you with the most adoring eyes. you’re one of the few people she feels she can really feel at ease with
- it’s pretty hard to pick out exactly how she smells like (naming a specific flower or plant is pretty hard), but mostly earthy and floral.
Can you write headcannon for streamer! Ayaka and Kazuha react a new character trailer (in that case, reader)?
Omg absolutely I can! I also decided to put in Yoimiya because why not (also I really love her so I had to put her in)
Ayaka:
Back when the model of your character got leaked she was very interested in you as you were so charismatic. There wasn’t much info besides that you would be a cryo sword user
However now that Inazuma was coming soon and word from her viewers that they had more to show about your character she was excited to see it
During one of her streams probably taking the moment to wait for some forging items or even a couple resin to replenish, she’d take the time to pull up the video to see your trailer. Needless to say seeing you fighting some hilichurls her eyes are sparkling
She is super excited when she sees that you turn to frost for your running since the only other character that did something similar to that was Mona
She’s very much in love with your character and as a player who doesn’t always spend money for banners, she will be making the exception for when you finally come out as she’d be happy to just get one; though if she is able to up your constellation she will also be very happy
Kazuha:
Of course as the Summer event was coming he wanted to watch the trailer with his viewers as he was more excited about getting to see you. He had seen pictures of you and knew as much that you were an anemo 5 star
While giving his few thoughts about the event that was to be released he also made a few jokes about the strings that were attached to the Maguu Kenki. He wasn’t too excited about fighting it, but since it would be for you he would fight until he had the materials needed for you
Finally getting to the scene where you show up he’s kind of bouncing in his seat like a little kid on a sugar high. He’s very ecstatic as maybe to some he was getting a little too excited but that didn’t matter to him because soon enough you will be playable
He’s another one who seldomly spends money as he’s very good about saving up for a character he wants to wish for, but also you are the exception that he is willing to spend money to ensure you at least come home. Maybe even going as far as getting your weapon cuz you looked really cool with it especially during your elemental burst
Yoimiya:
It wasn’t exactly a trailer but when her viewers told her that there were leaks of a bunch of characters that would be showing up in Inazuma it piqued her interest. So needless to say she was going to take her time during her stream to go through some of the leaked footage and pictures to check out what is expected to come
There were a few characters that she thought were pretty good; however there was one in particular that she fell in love with: you. You looked so cute and cool as your aesthetic was based around fireworks, how cool was that
Just when she didn’t think there couldn’t be any more to love when seeing one of your idle animations with the sparkler her heart melted, you looked so happy! Your attacks were so cool as it was really different from other characters. She’s someone who will spend money on a banner for a character she really wants and she definitely plans on doing so for you and try to fill your constellation; then if she’s able to then maybe she’d try for your weapon
- Hu Tao is wide awake at this hour which her S/O SHOULD be used to at this point.
- She jumps on their bed, startling them as she wraps her arms around their waist.
(Hu Tao) "Hello, dear!"
(S/O) "Nggh...Hu Tao? What in the-"
(Hu Tao) "Come on, I wanna show you something!"
- She playfully shakes them until they groggily get up.
(S/O) "Alright alright, I'm up..."
- S/O stares at the window and sighs, knowing that dawn wouldn't break until several more hours.
- As Hu Tao excitedly hops down the stairs while S/O slowly catches up, they finally see what she woke them up for.
- ...It was a bowl of noodles.
- S/O unamusingly gazes over to Hu Tao, who was standing in the darkness with a wide grin.
(Hu Tao) "Now, see that bowl? It's cold."
(S/O) "...Yes. That is a cold bowl of noodles. In the dead of night."
(Hu Tao) "4 AM actually!"
(S/O) "And I am up for...?"
(Hu Tao) "This!"
- She activates her pyro vision and instantly heats the noodles to a steaming degree, and even from this distance S/O could tell it was edible now.
(Hu Tao) "Boom! Instant noodles!"
(S/O) "...Okay that was pretty cool."
(Hu Tao) "Have some with me!"
- S/O sits with Hu Tao as she happily slurps down the noodles.
- While it admittedly looked good, they still were not wanting to be awake right now.
- Hu Tao giggles as she winks at them, mouth still full.
(Hu Tao) "Lub you!"
(S/O) "...Hmph."
- S/O only smiles as their eyes drop down little by little. It was nice seeing her happy like this. Unfortunately this wasn't going to be the last time they'd be woken up like this.
Tw:/// (not proofread)
Ganyu's habit of sleeping was far from ordinary human norms, she has a habit of taking afternoon naps and an accurate internal clock, every lunch time people seemed to find Ganyu missing.
But Ganyu will simply find a nice spot to rest on and will simply curl up into a ball and take a peaceful nap.
Ganyu was startled awake as her head was bumped on to the haystack, her eyes look upon her surroundings seeing as she was brought upon in Dihua Marsh. Shaking her head in a daze.
Standing up from the wagon as she pat her clothes to clean up the remaining hay stuck on her clothing, as she breathe out a sigh. A wooden stick was broken as your foot step on it, immediately alerting Ganyu of your presence. Her hands quick at taking out her bow as she pointed it towards your direction.
You laugh nervously as you look at her, your hands raising up as a sign of surrender. "Pardon me, but who might you be? Judging from your clothes your definitely part of the fatui." Her voice was stern and questioning as she looks at you with an inquisitive gaze.
"I definitely assure you that I'm not part of those fatui scum, but to see Ms. Ganyu pointing a harmful weapon to an innocent civilian will definitely turn heads if people from Liyue knew about this but of course I'll keep my mouth shut for I am gracious."
"I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but may I ask for your name?"
"You can call me (y/n), Ms. Ganyu."
Ganyu can't seem to forget about the encounter, her face flush red from her mistake. Ganyu definitely doesn't want to see you again.
And yet, you were always there everytime she went to Dihua Marsh to get a fresh air, look and sing upon glaze lilies, or even her afternoon naps. Ganyu had also thought of the possibility of you following her and had ask you about it and was answered by a laugh instead.
And a year passed as the both of you kept on meeting each other in Dihua Marsh, her suspicions of you decreasing day by day as you guys shared deep and meaningful talks, your relationship deepening by the end of each day as Ganyu grows to trust you more that she even confided her worries unto you.
"If you like I can cook for you everyday Ganyu."
Ganyu looks at you shockingly as she looks down on her lap as she played with her fingers absentmindedly, her heart was racing as her cheeks flush with a light pink. "You don't have to go through all that trouble."
"But I want to, I want to take care of you after all."
You stayed true to your word, visiting Ganyu everyday at her workplace and giving her a fresh set of cooked vegetables neatly place in a bento box.
Ganyu hates and loves your straight forward personality, seeing how flustered she becomes everytime you casually say something intimate or affectionate without being ashame gets her heart racing and butterflies fluttering inside of her stomach.
The moon was a warm milky glow in the sky, as if the sight of it could become a song in the eyes of anyone willing to raise their head upward. Ganyu was seated on the green pastures, as you tuck a freshly plucked glaze lily on Ganyu's ear. Her eyes snapping forward as she looks at you with wide eyes.
Her fingers curiously touch the flower that was placed on her ear, your hand was then place upon her cheeks bringing her close to you. Your lips placing a quick peck on both of her horns as an embarrassed squeak left her mouth.
"My horns are sensitive!"
You laugh as Ganyu covered her horns with embarrassment, your soft hands pulling her closer as you passionately kiss her on the lips.
"I love you." You muttered while your lips stayed close to hers.
Her pale slender fingers took hold of yours that was on her flush cheeks, "I love you too."
The moon happily embraced the sun's radiance as they watch upon the two lovers.

I love yelan and shinobu im a simp already. I’ll ask for how they are when they have a crush on reader and how they would confess.
characters: Yelan / Kuki Shinobu x gn!reader (seperate)
warnings: none, just fluff
a/n: There aren’t too many things known about Shinobu’s personality yet, so I’m sure once she actually releases we will be able to look back to this fic and say “kinda ooc, ngl”, but until then I’ll have to use my gut feeling.
This is, of course, my first time writing for either of these two characters, so I’m sorry if I’m making a few mistakes when it comes to their personalities, but I think it should be fine
Also, this is kinda long, at least for my standarts
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Yelan
Yelan knew about you long before you had even met her, she had to make sure that the new hire at the Liyue Qixing didn’t have any ill intentions after all, but once the two of you finally met, you instantly got along with each other, her relaxed and easy going attitude a welcome change from the stress inducing one’s your bosses seemed to have around them all the time. While your friendly and open attitude, that made even strangers reveal small secrets to you from time to time, being too busy enjoying their drinks to care, coupled with your willingness to tell Yelan about them if asked, made hanging out with you both a nice way to procrastinate while getting enough information to technically be considered part of her job.
Even after the two of you had become, what you would consider, good friends, there were still a lot of things you knew she wouldn’t tell you about, most of them about her job. You had asked once about why exactly she needed information about a citizen of Liyue, assuming of course that her job required her to do so, she made it very clear that, since it was part of her job, she wouldn’t tell you. You completely understood, never asking about such things again, while simply enjoying spending time with her. But there were things you knew about her that most others, who even knew about the existence of a woman called “Yelan”, wouldn’t even dream about knowing.
You had finally managed to get a few days off, deciding that it would be a great opportunity to visit Yelan, and while her house laid well outside of the city, you eventually arrived in front of her door, knocking on it, only to have to wait much longer than you expected before it finally opened, revealing your friend giving you her usual smile.
“Well, what a surprising visit you decided to pay me”, she greeted you, the thought of how you had managed to surprise the usually so informed Yelan, making you smile, only for you to remember what an unhealthy sleep schedule she seemed to have whenever she didn’t necessarily have work to do.
“Did I awaken you from your sleep?”, you asked teasingly, only for her to shoot back immediately in a similar playful matter.
“That’s confidential, I could tell you, but sadly wouldn’t be allowed to keep you alive afterwards”, after shooting you another smile, she finally let you inside, and it wasn’t long before the two of you started playing a game of dice against each other. “I could use this chance to win a few Mora from you, but how about we spice it up a bit? The winner gets to ask the looser anything”, she offered, causing you to give her a look of suspicion. When she said “anything”, did she truly mean it? Probably not really, since you doubted that she would tell you anything about her work even if you won, not that you wanted to know anyway. But you decided not to voice your doubts, instead giving her a nod.
Well, it wasn’t like you even had to think about what to ask her, since no matter how much luck you seemed to have, Yelan would always top you, and while her questions started out standard, asking you about things like work, they grew more and more personal with each question.
“What’s your taste in women?”, she eventually asked with as straight of a face as ever, and while the last question had already seemed a bit too personal for your taste, this one made your heartbeat faster than usual whenever you thought about what would come next.
“Well, I don’t really have one… I’m not that picky, if they are entertaining to hang out with, I guess”, you answered truthfully, well not completely, since there was someone you had eyes for.
“Then what about me?”, she asked, topping all her previous questions while making your face as red as the Jueyun chillies she loved to eat.
“T-that’s more than one question”, you stuttered out, frantically trying to buy your brain enough time to figure out any reasons she might have said something like that, baring the obvious of course, since that was too good to be true.
“Of course, how silly of me”, she stated, only to immediately get the highest possible score, making it unnecessary for you to even try and beat it. “Well, what about me?”, she stated once more, leaning forwards before putting her head in her hands while resting her arms on the table.
After seeing you fail to form a coherent sentence more than once, she leaned back before speaking again. “Fine, let me a different question”, when you heard her words, you finally managed to calm your nerves down a bit, only for all your blood to shoot into your head once again immediately afterwards.
“I like you as more than just a friend, do you feel the same?”, before you even had the chance to think about it, your body immediately went into autopilot, nodding enthusiastically without delay, causing the woman in front of you to smile at you once again.
Kuki Shinobu
You had known Shinobu for a very long time, having been friends with her long before she and her family got on rather… difficult terms. But when she had gone to study in Liyue for a few years, the two of you lost contact, only for her to come back and become part of the Arataki-gang, something you couldn’t help but find odd. Sure, you hadn’t seen her for years, but her joining that group of rather unusual individuals, wasn’t something you had ever expected from her.
But when the two of you met again, you somewhat rekindled your old friendship. Sure, the two of you had changed a lot, and instead of wearing the shrine maiden clothes you had expected an adult Shinobu to wear, she had found a different way to dress, most notably wearing a mask to hide her face even though you had never thought that there was a need for her to do so, but at the core you were still the same people as back then.
You couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but at some point in your friendship Shinobu had stopped acting entirely professional around you, acting far more friendly than before. It may have been far from the friendliness others, like maybe that Naganohara girl, seemed to offer, but still a big enough change for you to notice, not that you had anything against it, since you were just happy to have your old friend back. And while she still insisted on wearing her mask most of the time, she wouldn’t seem as embarrassed as the first time you accidentally caught her taking it off.
You had plucked a few lavender melons since you seemed to remember Shinobu having told you about how they tasted better when roasted and decided to pay her a visit to ask for a few tips, only to encounter what seemed to be the rest of the “Arataki-gang”, but without their name giving leader.
“Hey, I’m sorry to-”, you looked at what they were doing, only to find them stand around two beetles fighting each other, leaving you with more questions than answers, but decided to continue anyway “…interrupt you, but do you know where I can find Shinobu?”, you asked, causing all of them to immediately turn their heads around.
“You’re looking for Kuki Shinobu? Why? Do you need something from her?”, one of them immediately started questioning you, approaching you while making you feel as if you were in some sort of trouble, like you had broken an unspoken rule, but before you could continue, the man in front of you suddenly had a look of realisation on his face. “Oh, you’re her friend! The one she always spends time with after work”, he almost shouted, catching the attention of the rest, making them gather around you as well.
What followed was them bombarding you with one question after another, not leaving you any time to answer any of them, but seemingly not even minding. You had long lost the ability to even register any of their questions, since they would be interrupted in the middle of it, causing you to have to hear a completely new one, that was, until you heard a question that stood out.
“Are the two of you a couple? You must be, you always hang out with each other, and she even mentioned you a couple of times”, all other members fell silent, as all their gazes were focussed on you, awaiting your answer.
“She was talking about m-”, before you had the chance to finish your sentence, another voice rang out, this one clearly being Shinobu’s, but instead of sounding professional like usual, or relaxed like when you spent time together, this time it was filled with rage.
“You have ten seconds, whoever is in my line of sight once they are over won’t live to regret it”, in an instant, the mass of men around you were gone, all of them scattering into different directions, leaving you and Shinobu alone, she finally having calmed down somewhat. “I hate those idiots sometimes”, she stated bitterly before letting out a big sigh, her choice of words somewhat surprising you.
“They seemed… friendly”, you awkwardly stated, trying to make her forget what had just happened, but instead earning yourself a nervous stare from her, only to hear her sigh once more.
“You heard what they said, so I guess there’s no need to deny it. I like you, and I hope you do the same, do you want to go out with me?”, her confession caught you even more off-guard, leaving you frozen in place for a couple seconds before finally mustering enough working braincells together to answer.
“Sure, I feel the same”, you answered, only to find it to be an underwhelming reaction, searching for a way to continue. “Do you want to roast lavender melons together?”, you awkwardly asked while lifting the basked full of them that you held in your hand, earning yourself a small, rare chuckle from Shinobu.
“Of course”
(Trigger warning for abuse, electroshock therapy, torture, and ableism.)
The US court has overturned the ban on shock devices being used against disabled students, predominantly autistic students in the US.
The shock device being legalized is called the graduated electronic decelerator (or GED). This is a torture device that is used to ‘correct’ autistic behaviors / symptoms. Autistic people are shocked for stimming, and for having meltdowns, ect. This device was made popular by a behavioral center (the Judge Rosenberg Center, specifically) that is infamous for its abuse and torture of autistic / disabled patients.
(Image ID: someone is holding their arm out and resting it on a table, with their sleeve rolled up. Attached to their arm are wires, which connect to a small cube device.)
This is what the device looks like. It sends electric shocks into the victim’s skin; the victim often being restrained and held against their will. This is torture. GEDs have been reported to cause intense psychological trauma, PTSD, and physical injuries.
In March of 2020, the FDA ruled for GEDs to be banned. (Although, of course, they were still illegally used at a number of places.) This ruling has recently been appealed, and today, the US court of appeals has re-regulated the law to stop the use of GED. Sounds great, right? It would be!
... If not for a huge loophole in the wording, which basically allows this torture to continue. This device is going to have continued use on autistic students in order to “correct their behavior.”
Great question! You can:
Listen to and boost autistic voices to spread awareness
As-of now (July 7th), autistic activists are trying to get #StopTheShock trending on Twitter, so Tweet out the hashtag if you have Twitter
If you’re in the US, email / call your legislators
Sign this petition if you’re in the US
Follow this case and look out for updates
If Autism Speaks (known ableist hategroup) says anything about this, DO NOT BOOST IT
That’s all! Thank you. Reblogs are very appreciated!!
Can I request some relationship headcanons with Yanfei? 👀
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
ft. yanfei
warnings. none
note. i didn't proofread this lawl, i dont proofread anything oops. Also this is my first time writing for yanfei and oh was it fun
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧
Yanfei spends a lot of time with her nose buried in a thick book or running around Liyue settling legal disputes.
If she ever sees you in the city streets while she’s out and about she’ll be sure to pause to greet you or check-in
Sometimes, if you’re finishing up your tasks around town when she pops up out of nowhere she’ll ask for you to come along, she always would say how you always made her more productive
Yanfei’s pace was fast, talking admittedly over her shoulder at her newest client, who was trying their hardest to keep up. She was discussing a lot of different outcomes from their current case, mentioning some places they should visit to help ensure their legal victory. Lost in thought she aimlessly dodging passerby and street vendors while her client fired off stuttered question after question. Only when her deep state of thought broke did she look up and spot you talking to a vendor at a cart, purchasing goods. With a growing smile, she quickly made her way over to your side and startled you with a tight hug. Pressing a kiss to her cheek, you greeted her with a soft “hello”, and passed a pouch of mora to the clerk before grabbing your wrapped goods and taking a few steps away from the stall with Yanfei,
“Now, what do I owe the pleasure?” you asked, a teasing tilt in your tone,
“Nothing really, I was just passing by with a client” she gestured to the jittery woman behind her, “and I saw you, so I thought I would come to say hi!” The joyful tone she always had when talking to you never failed to pull a smile at your cheeks,
“Well, I was finishing up with groceries, woul—”
“—would you like to join me?” You both looked at each other, bursting into a small fit of giggles,
“Sure, let’s go see you work your magic” You two walked off side by side, resuming her previous route while her client still trailed behind,
“Y’know it’s actually not magic. Simply by taking advantage of different legal codes and regulations all sorts of problems within the populous of Liyue can be solved…”
You listened to her drone on about different principles and laws, intertwining your hand with hers and lighting swinging them between the two of you as you walked.
Yanfei can hardly keep herself occupied at home, always itching to go out and explore
You once told her that she’s hunting for problems and that maybe the powers of justice in Liyue could last a day without her, but she just laughed and reminded you about that one time you had jokingly called her the justice powers in Liyue
However, you have found her sat at a desk in your home, head resting on the pages of her book as she soundly slept
With a warm cup of tea held in your hands and a blanket draped over your arm, you made your way into the room she was residing in. Slowly creaking open the door, you saw her hunched over the desk. Shaking your head lightly you quietly spoke up,
“I’ve tried telling you before if you keep reading so much that close in the dark you’ll hurt your eyes—” getting closer to her form, you noticed her deep, slow breathing and relaxed features.
Setting the cup of tea down on the desk, you unfolded the blanket and tucked it over her shoulders. Leaning down and pressing a sweet kiss to her head, you tucked some hair away from her face,
“You’re always working yourself to the bone… I’ll do my best to make sure you take more breaks in the future…” You whispered, fondly watching her lightly twitch in her sleep.
Turning off the desk lamp, the only source illuminating the room, you turned and made your way out. Taking one last glance inside at your sleeping girlfriend, you quietly shut the door behind you. Once you were gone, a small smile spread on Yanfei’s face, a hand pulling the blanket tighter around her.
Is it possible for a Ayaka x Reader where Reader visits Ayaka always injured but assures Ayaka it nothing but Ayaka's not listening and continues to take care Reader?
thank you for the request, anon !! i really like this idea, i feel the epitome of ladylike and an unlucky, clumsy mess would be cute.
There are multiple clans and families affiliated with Inazuma’s Yashiro Commission, led by the Kamisato to organize festivals, cultural events and to overlook shrines. You were another one of these children born into association with the commission, belonging to a family whom had overlooked one of Inazuma’s largest and most popular shrines.
For this particular oncoming event, the shrine that you had grown up keeping was to be the site for a miraculous fireworks display, and it was arranged for both yourself, and Ayaka of the Kamisato clan, to visit Naganohara Fireworks to discuss details with its owner Yoimiya. The main focus was probably to take as many precautions as possible to prevent Yoimiya getting too excited and setting fire to your shrine.
As much as this meeting was strictly business, it had not changed the fact that both yourself and Ayaka have been friends since childhood. Both of you having met when you were very small, as your parents often mingled through business, and your estates were very close to one another.
She had known you for years, and so she was obviously familiar with your horrendous luck, often getting injured by the smallest and most insignificant of things. It wouldn’t be a lie to say that Ayaka had requested for her mother to teach her first aid for this reason. Struck by lightning? That was a very common occurrence. Falling from the roof of your shrine? More times than you are willing to admit. Setting fire to your family’s shrine? Maybe once or twice. By accident, of course.
As much as you had been taught since birth to pray to the archons regularly, raised to humbly request their blessings, your misfortune had felt as though they had refused every little offering. But, perhaps, it’s the fact that you are still alive despite all the bad things that have happened, which is the blessing that you were granted after years of dedication to your work.
As your legs had carried you up the steps of Kamisato manor, only a little bit later than the agreed meeting time, you were instantly greeted by the sight of Ayaka knelt on the floor in the middle of the room with her eyes closed. Both of her hands were balled gently into fists, and resting on her thighs just above her knees. Her breathing was slow, and anyone would have thought that she had fallen asleep in the position.
Ayaka really is the definition of gracefulness, you had thought. It’s a vast contrast compared to you. One would probably consider you both opposites.
“Ah, you have arrived.”
After the gentle voice had interrupted the silence, you watched as Ayaka’s eyes slowly opened, and her head turned so that she could look at you. Her expressionless face of calm had melded into her usual smile, and in a swift movement she was on her feet.
“I was beginning to think that you had a change of plans. It seems that I was wrong,” Your eyes had widened at this, she really thought that you were just not going to come? Noticing your bewildered expression, a melodic laugh had circulated throughout the room. Ayaka flicked open the ocean blue fan in her hand and lifted it to cover her mouth. Just her eyes could be seen, and they were narrowed slightly in amusement. “You wouldn’t do that, would you?”
In your sudden panic of how your friend had almost misunderstood you, you let go of the injured arm that you were trying to hide, and raised both your hands. Just as you were about to stutter out a fast ‘I would never’, she had caught sight of the long tear in your sleeve.
“..Hm? What is that on your arm?”
“Huh?” Taking in the question that she had asked, you froze. Ah, so she did notice it. Slowly, you had lowered your hand to cover the tear in your sleeve and wound beneath it, hoping that you could move on from the subject to important matters quicker. “Oh! It’s really nothing worth worrying about-!”
“..Really?” Before you could hinder it from view completely, two gentle hands had carefully prevented you from doing so by lightly grasping your injured arm so that she could see it better. You continued to panic; you’re here to help plan an important event for Inazuma, not to waste both Ayaka and Yoimiya’s time because of your clumsiness. Ayaka’s eyes had turned worried. “Have you not treated it properly?”
“Uh..” It was true, you hadn’t the time to take care of your injury properly. You had hurt yourself just as the meeting time was near, so you were already running late before you had gotten hurt in the first place. “No.. B- But-! It’s not as bad as it looks, really!”
But Ayaka had paid your words no mind, letting go of your injured arm and letting you retreat it back to yourself, before walking beside you and hooking her arm with your uninjured one. As she began to guide you further into the estate, you had known for sure that she was not letting you go any time soon.
“Tohma,” Ayaka had turned her head to the side so that she could exchange looks with the blonde stood watching from the doorway. “May you please inform Naganohara Fireworks that we will be a little late to today’s meeting?”
The man remained still for a moment, emerald eyes watching you both and going back over what he had just witnessed. Also coming to the conclusion that you aren’t going to be released until your arm is treated and okay, he propped a hand on his hip, nodding with a smile. “For sure.”
“I- It’s not that bad, Ayaka. I promise..”
The white-haired princess chuckled quietly. “I’ll be the judge of that.”
includes: kazuha, yoimiya, thoma, and raiden shogun
warnings: mentions of death / some 2.1 spoilers
kazuha followed a routine whenever he ended up in inazuma. 1. try to hide from everyone 2. find gorou at the military base so he could lead him to you. that was it. and that’s exactly what he did, although this time, he could almost sense that something was wrong. everyone’s eyes landed on him as he walked past them. a heavy rain fell from the dark sky that was illuminated with strong lightning. he could practically see gorou’s heart fall as the samurai made his way closer to him.
prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
“i’m sorry, kazuha.” gorou begins.
kazuha accepts it. he doesn’t need gorou to elaborate, but he does anyways.
“i tried to save them… we all did, i promise… but their injuries were fatal.” gorou explains softly.
kazuha nods. “of course. thank you for trying to save them.”
gorou has another soldier lead kazuha to where you’d been laid to rest — a shabby headstone had been made out of wood that was already getting worn down from the storms of inazuma. it makes kazuha sick. you deserved so much better. he kneels by your grave with a sad smile, running his fingers across the headstone.
he curses at himself for not preparing for this. he knows that once it sinks in that you’re gone, it will leave him with a broken heart that would be nearly impossible to mend.
he sighs. “i’m sorry, my dear. in another life, perhaps.”
after receiving the news, yoimiya just couldn’t wrap her head around it. you were really gone? but you promised to come home as soon as you could. why had things turned out this way?
she spent most of her time trying to grieve as comfortably as possible, but she still had work to do. it made it so much harder to deal with.
after a day at work, she returned home and went to the supply room she had left an important firework in, one she made to set off in the sky upon your return. she wanted to throw it away, destroy it so she’d never had to look at it again and think of you and what had been taken away from you.
but she knew that wasn’t what you would want her to do. so she picked it up and took it out to the beach where she set it off, the sky illuminating in your favorite colors. she sits on the ground and finally cries. she cries as if you’ll be there to soothe her, and she yearned for the familiar feeling of your arms around her.
“i miss you so much already, (y/n)… i hope the fireworks look pretty where you are.”
thoma patiently waited for your letters from the military base every week. if he couldn’t hear your voice, seeing your familiar handwriting recounting the past week was the second best thing.
he never even considered the fact there could be a day that letter would never arrive. once handed the envelope, he tears into it to read it as soon as he can, so he can respond as soon as he can.
his smile begins to fade as he realizes the handwriting in the contents of the envelope was not yours. it was from sangonomiya kokomi herself, informing (and profusely apologizing to) thoma that you had been fatally wounded in battle.
“their death has been a huge hit to our army’s morale, and they will be missed. i simply cannot apologize enough for having to tell you this way, and i will keep you in my prayers.”
thoma simply folds the letter back up and sets it aside. taorumaru sniffs it and turns his head back to thoma before whimpering and laying down.
it’s as if he knows what’s happened, thoma thinks.
he can feel tears rushing to his eyes, and a sob escape his lips. “why them… why did it have to be them?”
when they traveler suggested a walk around inazuma to inspire some change, ei knew exactly where she wanted to go. to visit you. it had been far too long since she last saw you before beginning her meditation in the plane of euthymia.
“who?” paimon questions. “i don’t think paimon’s met that person here, but there’s no harm in looking, right?”
ei wasn’t worried. “of course. although inazuma looks different, i know just where to find them.”
she walked alongside the traveler to grand narukami shrine, asking the shrine maidens where you were. one of them gave her an uneasy look before gently explaining that you had become a soldier and had unfortunately died in battle.
“oh… alright. thank you for informing me.” she nods before turning on her heels and immediately leaving.
paimon and the traveler leave the shrine with her — she had gone completely silent, deep in thought.
“um, ei? are you alright?” paimon asks.
“i’m fine.” ei says, stopping in her tracks. “i just can’t help but wonder… did they die… because of my actions?”
