Ironic.
They could protect Eula from getting judged for her identity.
But not themselves...
- Eula had reported her discovery about her S/O being a spy for the Fatui to the Knights already.
- All that was left was to confront them about it. Though this confrontation was for the good of Mondstadt, for Eula, this was far more personal.
- Eula had asked the Traveler and the other Knights to wait outside in case the situation got bad.
- She had gone to their house and talk to them alone.
- Eula swung open the door, fist clenched with their orders on several papers.
(S/O) "Eula? Is something wrong?"
(Eula) "As a matter of fact, there is."
- Eula slammed her hand onto the nearby table, the papers scattering.
- S/O's expression darkened the moment they saw their orders laying out for both of them to see.
(Eula) "What the hell is this?!"
- S/O opened their mouth to say something, but no words came out.
- Eula kept her eyes on S/O the entire time. She was expecting them to go for a weapon, but they hadn't shown any signs of fighting or even running.
(Eula) "To think that all this time, YOU were the one the people of Mondstadt should have been looking out for instead of me."
(S/O) "..."
- S/O remained quiet, not being able to look Eula in the eye.
(Eula) "You were always the first one to defend me when people were getting on my case for being a Lawrence. You were always the first one to say, 'You should never judge someone for their family's past', S/O. Was all of what you said, lies?"
- She clenched her fist tightly, to the point it started to hurt.
(Eula) "When you told me that you loved me, not caring who I am, was that a lie too?"
(S/O) "...I..."
(Eula) "The truth, S/O! You will tell me, or the people of Mondstadt will have their vengeance!"
- S/O had heard that term so many times.
- Vengeance.
- Whenever it was directed at them or any other citizen, they could always tell Eula never meant it, despite what she said.
- Now, there was such venom in her words.
- Now it truly seemed like her vengeance would be wrought on them if they didn't say something.
- S/O remained quiet for a little longer before sighing, finally looking at her.
(S/O) "I meant every word, Eula. I truly do love you."
(Eula) "..."
(S/O) "And as much as I trust you...There is no way anyone would ever trust me, especially now that they know where I'm from."
- S/O sadly smiled.
(S/O) "Besides, you never deserved to be treated as you did. I never found that fair."
- Eula felt a single tear run down her cheek, but she dared not impair her vision.
- Now, S/O was planning something.
(Eula) "The Fatui diplomats in the city...do they know who you are?"
(S/O) "No. Only the person who ordered me here, though that was already a year and a half ago. My job was just to watch the Knights' activities posing as a civilian. Instead, I became attached to Mondstadt..."
- S/O reached behind them, prompting Eula's hand to reach for the hilt of her greatsword.
(S/O) "The City of Freedom. To be honest, I wasn't really big on this place when I got here. But after I met you?...It showed me that this place isn't all too bad."
- S/O slowly pulled out a small blade while Eula unsheathed her greatsword, waiting for them to make a move.
- Instead, S/O threw it onto the floor, following a number of other small weapons and tools.
- Eula was confused at first, looking at the weapons then to S/O.
(Eula) "What...?"
(S/O) "I don't want to fight you or anyone else in the Knights."
- S/O turned away.
(S/O) "...Archons know I've already hurt you more than any sword could."
- Eula lowered her weapon, but it remained in her hands.
- S/O slowly walked up to the table where Eula was, and grabbed the papers, walking back to a nearby fireplace, tossing the papers inside.
(S/O) "...Whatever you want to do, I'll accept it, Eula."
- S/O watched as the papers were slowly reduced to ash, not hearing a word from Eula.
- They both remained still in complete silence, not sure what to do...
Notes: This just sounds like a really cute idea so…. y/n is just a crush and is also enby!
Word count - 600
Kaeya
He’ll try to hang out with you more often.
Oh, you’re going to do a commission just out of town? Well he’s free right now so why not help you? Just ran into you on the street? Well he was just about to go to Angel’s Share, why not come with him?
Of course, he’ll say this in his own, Kaeya-y way.
“Ah, Y/n, always a pleasure to see you! Oh, you were going to do a commission just outside of town? Well, I am free now. I could tag along, we could call it a date”
I headcanon that Kaeya’s love language is quality time because he’s often busy with work as the Cavalry Captain but he’ll set aside some time for you :)
Kaeya also tends to get even more flirty with you than with others.
He just likes to see you all flustered because of him!
“Can you really blame me for wanting to hang out with you often? I’ve yet to find someone more attractive than you. My, you’ve gotten so flustered at such a simple complement, Darling~”
If you don’t like his teasing and flirting then just tell him and he’ll tone it down a bit. He loves to tease but he doesn’t like to make you uncomfortable
Lisa
She’ll let you get away with a little more than others!
Lisa knows that she should act the same with you as with all the others who have overdue books but you’re just too cute! She can’t help but cut you a little bit of slack!
Only a day or two overdue tho, not too much, she still needs those books back.
“Awe hello there cutie~ Are you here to return your book? Oh my, it seems you're a day overdue. Well, it’s only a day, I suppose we could just sweep this under the rug. Though I would like a kiss as a thanks. You don’t have too of course”
Much like Kaeya, she’ll flirt with you a little more. She’ll be a little more toned down than Kaeya though.
She just thinks that your reactions are the cutest! Even when everything you do is cute in her eyes.
“Ah it’s cutie! Here to rent out another book? My, you’re always so eager to read, I quite admire it.”
Amber
She’d take you to go test out Barron Bunnies with her!
Amber loves Barron Bunny and she loves you so why not have the two in one place!
Recently, her Barron Bunnies have gotten bigger and better, with bigger explosions or different gunpowders in it for different explosions (She got the gunpowder from Klee) all to impress you!
“Hey y/n! I made a few additions to Barron Bunny since last time, want to come see? It’s always good to have a second opinion!”
If there’s any town event going on then you’ll be the first person she invites!
Whether it be Windblume or Windtrace, she’s inviting you! Just as friends, of course. Friends who do totally platonic things like stare lovingly at each other when the other isn’t looking. Completely platonic.
One time she even invited you to the Lantern Rite Festival in Liyue.
“Y/n! I heard about this thing in Liyue called the Lantern Rite Festival! Yeah, it might be in Liyue but there’s an easy path from Mondstadt to Liyue Harbor! And don't worry about hillicurils and slimes, you'll have the one and only Outrider of Mondstadt with you!"
Oh jeez Amber is so sweet! All adult women in Genshin make my heart beat a little faster -Dragon Queen
BANGS POTS AND PANS!!!!!!!!!! wom time. dividing this into three parts, and i’ll link those here when i get them done ouo9. this post contains: lisa, mona, xinyan, barbara, and keqing.
PART 2 , PART 3, LUMINE
LISA
- DUDE OKAY….. she is perfect for cuddles in every way, smells nice feels very soft and warm, the epitome of “world hard and cold, tiddy soft and warm”
- dont wanna forget her thighs either…… she is just…. pillow. gently teases when you decide to snuggle up to her but she adores it as she is a huge fan of skinship
- has her hands on you somehow, rubbing circles on your back or on a palm, running her hands through your hair. do this back to her and she gets very soft
- has pulled you aside with a hug from behind for snuggles. usually to avoid work when she’s feeling lazy (and to indulge)
- FOREHEAD KISSES
- smells like lavender, old books, and faintly smoke. snuggle rating: 11/10

prompt: you've left hu tao for kaedehara kazuha. those around her are concerned with the drastic changes in her personality, yet hu tao doesn't care about anyone's opinions of her besides you. pairing: hu tao x gn!reader cw: angst. death mentions bc it's hu tao but no major character death. wc: ~2.1k words a/n: written SPECIFICALLY for @starglitterz (and also because i really like this idea and haven't written anything for her before). hope u enjoy this when u wake up! im a menace for a 2k word long sabotage, i know
it's funny what can bring two people together.
zhongli, who despised hu tao, now stands beside her. he serves not as a consultant but rather as a friend. his advice is sage and his words are kind, but sometimes, hu tao wishes he still looked at her with disgust. it would be better than the pity that's in his eyes. he's made it his own agenda to tag along with her on her lunch breaks. besides, if he didn't follow her around, it would mean you were still with her. she'd much rather have you than zhongli.
it's the sixth lunch visit where the awkward situation turns even more suffocating.
"overseer," zhongli speaks up as she turns to head out. she bites back a groan, yet holds her tongue. her gaze moves over to him, once bright eyes dulled with sadness and apathy. "i am planning to go out to lunch with some friends. would you care to join?"
hu tao, ever compliant, can't find it in herself to decline. potential clients, she reminds herself. but, as she sits down at the wanmin restaurant, she can't help but wonder if this is too big of a client. singular. one other person.
did mr. zhongli bring me here just to third wheel? hu tao thinks.
"hi! i'm tartaglia, eleventh of the fatui harbingers," he extends a hand.
previously, hu tao would have taken it and chirped a kind greeting. all business is good business, right? but now, since you've left, hu tao lacks the ambition that once motivated her. instead, she stares down childe.
"didn't you try to destroy liyue?" she asks. zhongli clears his throat. the smile drops from childe's face briefly before he bursts out into laughter.
"don't you run a funeral parlor? it only would have helped your business," childe laughs. zhongli's gaze returns to its typical neutrality and, with nothing else to say, hu tao takes a seat.
xiangling takes their order. she expects hu tao to say something, anything to prank her, yet it never arrives. hu tao remains sullen and quiet. throughout the lunch, zhongli and childe exchange loving glances. even the wonderful tastes of xiangling's cooking can't cover up the bitter flavor of envy in her mouth at the sight of them.
"so, comrade," childe says callously, turning to look at hu tao. "xiangsheng told me you're going through a breakup."
immediately, alarm bells ring in hu tao's head. zhongli takes a sip of his drink as her gaze narrows, flitting between the two men before her. is this... an intervention? by a snezhnayan? a WAR CRIMINAL? hu tao is mildly aghast. if she was feeling like her usual self, she would have applauded zhongli for thinking of a funnier prank than anything she's ever placed upon him. instead, she feels as if she's sitting before two father figures (both a bit unhinged in their own ways, one more glaringly evil than the other). it's weird. it feels... wrong for someone to care about her in this manner.
wasn't that supposed to be your job? she doesn't want the attention of others, just you.
"he wanted me to offer you some advice," childe says. "i am quite experienced in the romantic field, after all."
hu tao doubts that last part.
"but, i have no advice to give! instead, i have a service to offer. we'll both benefit. give me the name of those who have wronged you and i'll personally eliminate them myself! i owe zhongli a favor, so-" childe begins, but zhongli cuts him off with a harsh glare.
"you have broken enough of liyue's laws, childe," he chastises. childe is unperturbed.
"aw, i guess zhongli had to ruin the fun," childe huffs. "but anyways, if you want me to kill your ex-"
"no," hu tao says. she's withdrawing into herself. none of the usual mirth of this conversation gets through to her. instead, she stands up.
"thank you for lunch, but i have to return to work."
she walks away from the two, despite zhongli calling out after her.
---
hu tao doesn't return to work. instead, she walks to the coast of liyue harbor and sits down on the edge of the piers. the scent of the ocean is calming and the bustling noises of trade are familiar to her. here, in this secluded spot, she can be away from the pitying eyes. she knows she's changed. she no longer pranks others. her joyous tunes of poetry no longer erupt from her.
instead, she hums a familiar tune to herself. it's the cadence of the poem she used to tell you all the time.
hu tao has experienced death and loss before, but nothing has ever hurt quite this badly. perhaps it's knowing that she could have kept you if she was more careful that eats away at her. you are all she wants, yet you look at her as if you see through her. the two of you haven't spoken in weeks, yet the pain doesn't ease.
hu tao half-expects a red string to be tied around her finger when she looks down. she knows it would lead her to you. would yours lead to her? probably not. that's why you left her for the other poet, one filled with mystery and intrigue. kaedehara kazuha, a ronin from inazuma. he's valiant, standing up against the raiden shogun at the cost of everything he's known. hu tao stays in one place, performing the same tasks over and over. but him? he can provide you the adventure you always wanted.
hu tao laughs to herself. it's short and it's sweet and she's a bit embarrassed to have done so, yet she's more embarrassed as to why she laughs.
for the first time since the breakup, the first thing she's found to be funny is the realization that you never really loved her. there's no way. if you loved her, you would be hurting in the same way she is. she's changed and you haven't. you're probably making out with the stupid kazuha dude or whatever while she mopes over you.
it makes the pain within her feel so much worse.
she snaps out of her wallowing thoughts as she hears footsteps on the pier. she straightens her posture and corrects her expression to be one of neutrality as she stares out onto the water. yet, rather than turning away as one usually does when approaching the dead end of the pier that hu tao is sitting on, the footsteps approach her.
"hu tao?" a familiar voice asks. icy adrenaline shoots through hu tao's veins at the realization that the person approaching her is you. hu tao's gaze snaps up to meet yours. you look at her with a furrowed brow. in your eyes is the same pity that she always sees in everyone else's.
she hates it.
"hiya, sweethe- (y/n)." hu tao catches herself. you seem nonplussed by her mistake.
"your consultant... zhongli, was it? he told me you weren't feeling well and disappeared off to some place. he sounded pretty concerned," you say. hu tao wants to scream. zhongli sent you here? she has half a mind to fire him, but if her suspicions about him being an adeptus (or something greater) are true, then she can't afford being smited or whatever it is immortals do when you wrong them.
"aiya, i'm not feeling too well, but no need to worry about me!" hu tao chirps. you fail to see through her forced cheery facade, yet you sit down next to her anyways.
"you're looking rather flushed," you comment. "do you have a fever?"
before hu tao can stop you, you brush her bangs away and lay the back of your palm against her forehead to check. she can feel her face flush with heat at the gesture. your eyes focus on her and hu tao feels the familiar feeling of tears at the back of her eyes. she wants you to touch her like this forever. treat her with the kindness that only feels genuine when it comes from you.
"jeez, tao, you're burning up!" you state. "you shouldn't be out at the pier. c'mon, i'll take you home."
you, never one to take no for an answer, scramble up before tugging on her arm. despite her being just fine to walk and certainly not feverish (just in love, even if you've moved on), you loop her arm around her shoulder, making her lean on you as you walk. she hopes the close proximity doesn't give away the rapid beating of her heart.
"so, how has your day been?" you ask nonchalantly as you guide her back to her home. you know where it is. you've been there hundreds of times before. "besides the sickness, of course."
"mr. zhongli introduced me to one of his friends. quite a weird dude, but hey, new clients are never bad, right? he seems like he'd be easy to prank," hu tao rambles a bit with her words, but you don't seem to mind. instead, you laugh easily.
"is that so? you do love pranks," you muse. no, i love you, hu tao wants to correct, but holds her tongue. "xiangling tells me you haven't been pranking her recently, though."
"oh?" hu tao says, as if it's a surprise. "work always comes first and i have been busy recently, but perhaps a surprise is in store for her."
it's a lie. she knows it, but you don't. there's no point in pranking people, not when her thoughts are constantly plagued with you and the loss of love. in this little moment, she can pretend that the two of you are still together, that this interaction wasn't forced upon her by someone overstepping their boundaries. she yearns for you, yet you no longer want her. silence falls between the two of you after you hum an acknowledgment to your words.
"tao," you begin as you approach her front door. "there's something i need to tell you."
"oh yeah?" hu tao asks, forcing her tone to remain even as she opens up the front door and turns to face you. despite wanting to let you in, a part of her knows better than to extend the invitation. you'd only reject it, after all. you look away from her.
"i'm... sorry. i shouldn't have... left you like that," you say. "it was unfair to you."
hu tao holds her breath. is this what she's been waiting for? for you to come back? but wait, why does it feel so... wrong?
"i realize that um... you deserve better than me," you say. "which is why..."
you trail off. this isn't how this is supposed to go, hu tao thinks, but her throat is dry. she swallows thickly. tears begin to well in her eyes and threaten to spill out as you think over your words.
"hey, don't beat yourself up over such a silly little th-" hu tao begins, but your gaze returns to her with fiery resolution in your eyes.
"i'm leaving with the crux fleet tomorrow. the ship departs tomorrow. you won't have to worry about me anymore. i've made my bed, it's time to lie in it."
hu tao could laugh at your choice of words, but instead, she stares at you with wide eyes. she blinks. leaving..? the crux..?
"it's a hasty decision but... kazuha said that when the time is right, we should get married," you say. hu tao feels as if everything is passing her at too fast of a rate. "so i'm going with him."
"oh. congratulations!" hu tao says. her voice is wobbly. you smile, tears welling up in your own eyes.
"i'm sorry, darling," you say. hu tao feels something in her snap at the pet name. she takes a step back, further into the safety of her house.
"i'm happy for you, (y/n)," hu tao lies. "but please, never call me that again."
the funeral parlor overseer doesn't know what comes over her. she closes the door in your face before you can respond. she lets out a shaky breath as she hears your footsteps as you walk away from the entryway.
leaving... tomorrow... kazuha... married?
a choked sob escapes hu tao. why not her? why him? she doesn't understand and, all alone in the home the two of you once shared, hu tao breaks down sobbing, begging for someone, anyone to change the tides of fate that she cannot.
and in the end I could not save you.
{tw: character death, blood}
she held you close to her, your warmth leaving you. the tears were unstoppable, flowing down her eyes like waterfalls. you smiled weakly and lifted your hand to wipe her tears, though it was in vein as they streamed once more.
“it’s not your fault” you whisper.
how could you say that?
the blood seeping through your wound, now all over her clothes as well, her hands stained red with blood, not only yours but those she had slain to get to you. she was too late to reach you in the end though.
had she been a minute earlier—a second—could she have prevented this?
“please… don’t leave me….” she strained out, her voice weak, cracking, her tears dropping to your cheeks like rainfall.
you promised, you promised you’d always be together.
you promised her eternity.
when your body fell limp, your hand falling, your last breath exhaled. she knew you were gone.
screams and wails of agony came forth from the violet ruler. in their wake, crashes of thunder and lightning struck the ground as she hugged your body to her. wishing—willing—that somehow, some force would give you back.
deep down, she knew that you both could not have eternity together, but she would rather look away from everyone telling her to face the facts.
she would prove to everyone—and you—that she could make eternity real.
she would make it real.
Since December is coming, I was thinking of christmas headcanon, so can I request different girls from other region kissing their crush (which is S/O) under the mistletoe and giving them gifts afterwards? Thank you and I love your writings so much!!
Characters: Lisa, Hu Tao, Sara x gn!reader
Warnings: None
A/n: Yes ! I remember seeing this in my inbox awhile back and it conveniently landed a day before Christmas Eve
I hope I chose the right characters tho <3 I tried to have an array of different personalities from Lisa’s flirty to Sara’s stern personality
• Lisa and you attended a Knights of Favonius Christmas party that Jean held annually. Lisa forced you to attend as her plus one, you honestly wished to avoid that setting. You were convinced all the captains of the Knights were insane as they all had extravagant personalities.
• Whoever set the mistletoe did it for the giggles. It was meant as a troll and nobody in the Knights of Favonius would take it seriously, just kind of poke fun of the pointless decoration. But Lisa saw it as the golden opportunity to tease you.
• Lisa would gift you your favorite book signed by the author. They were from some far region such as Liyue which made this rare and hard to obtain in Mondstadt. She probably sacrificed an arm and a leg during the travel for this.
Lisa blushed shyly underneath the green plant, she looked like a school girl confessing to her high school crush. “Pfft, cut the act already Lisa. I know you’re not this shy,” you intruded.
“Awwh~ Well it was worth a shot,” she sighed. She was hoping you’d initiate something for once, but she guessed it wasn’t programmed in you to dominate her as she did to you. “Come here huh? It’ll be fun,” she said seeing you hesitate.
Her arms wrap around your neck seductively, her body pressed against yours prolonging the kiss. It might’ve been embarrassing out in public, but it felt like heaven. Her lips pressed against yours and your body against her plush feeling.
“Well well, that was quite fun wasn’t it?” Her smirk was wide and she felt invigorated. “We should do this more often no?”
After you two separated she took out of almost nowhere a small bound book, tapping it on your chest once, “I almost forgot- Merry Christmas my little cutie.” She whispered in your ear before making her way to the drink table.
• Hu Tao and you had a nice walk at midnight with the snow falling in Liyue. You were both alone enjoying the lights and decorations of everything. The streets were pretty when everything was silent.
• A mistletoe hung low from a bridge in a random alleyway of Liyue. You had no idea who placed it there in the first place, but Hu Tao wanted to take advantage of it. She had never had any experience before you so she was naturally beyond excited.
• Hu Tao gave you a handmade necklace for Christmas. She believed it didn’t matter how expensive the gift was, it just had to come from the heart. So when she crafted a necklace of your favorite colors and special jewels it meant the world to you.
Hu Tao stared into your eyes for as long as she could, you could tell her uncertainty through her wavering eyes and the light blush on her ears. Her hands laced in her signature rings felt cold to the touch, and the air you breathed out was visible.
The setting was right. She looked one last time at the mistletoe above her before squeezing her eyes shut and giving you a hearty kiss. It felt oh so tense, but so right. Her lips fit together against yours like a puzzle piece. You heard a little muffled moan from her, but you were pretty sure it was due to surprise over pleasure.
After a second she pulled away, her blush intensified. Despite being such a loudmouth prankster, when it came to romance she was the shyest girl in Liyue. Affection was just not up her lane.
She was about to leave, go her separate ways and tell you she’d see you tomorrow. But before she parted she hesitated, like she had something on her mind. “I almost forgot to give you this.” She handed you a nice red velvet box.
Opening it up was a pendant, jewels in different shades of you favorite color laced in the metals. In the center was a shiny jade stone, you could tell Hu Tao had put a lot of effort in gathering the products for it. You gave her a bearhug, and it seemed to shake her consciousness back to her old self. “I’ll see you tomorrow loser, Merry Christmas,” she said before running off into the dark to her home.
• The Tenryou Commission attended the Christmas party their Yashiro Commission brethren held annually. Sara begrudgingly attended as the general. Although she only pretended hated all this holiday cheer stuff. She secretly loved all the happy aura of everyone.
• Miko probably set the mistletoe up, ready to scan whatever poor soul found themselves underneath it. Sara swore revenge over that damn guuji, she was all too shy. But with your insistence, she might partake in such a childish tradition.
• Sara probably would gift you a tengu mask like her own! You always said how complimented how cute it was. She said if you wore it, it meant you two were like family already and a part of the Kujou household even without putting a ring on her finger.
Sara and you found yourselves in Miko’s brilliant trap. The tri-commissions surrounding you pressuring you to two to kiss underneath the mistletoe. It was only natural since you two were dating. The general had a stark red blush on her face of anger, you on the other hand didn’t mind the audience.
“Let’s make this quick,” you mumbled just loud enough for only Sara to hear you. You wanted to save her the embarrassment, it was clear she was uncomfortable. They had never seen their stern general in such a vulnerable position.
You pulled Sara in by her waist, she was stiff like cardboard. With the quickest peck of your life, you two connected. Her lips feeling so soft, you wanted more, but not here. As you separated you took Sara’s wrist and quickly took her away from the crowd of boos of disappointment.
You both had lost the crowd, behind in an empty individual room of the Yashiro headquarters. Sara had to catch her breath from the adrenaline, “I owe you.” She said bluntly.
You smiled at the statement, you were going to take advantage of it later when you two made it home. But first, she had something to give you. Making herself stand upright she cleared her throat, “Merry Christmas.” She said with her deep voice.
In a Christmas bag was a Tengu mask identical to her own. She helped you put it on your head sideways and you couldn’t help but grin. “Now you’re one of us,” she hugged you as you both basked in each other’s hold in the desolate room.
Enemies to lovers with any favorite girl you like to write :3? Really like your writings it's so nice ^~^! And please take care too!!
Characters: Eula, Lisa, Ganyu, Yanfei, Sara
Warnings: spoilers to Liyue and Inazuma Archon quest
A/n: Thank you! You take care as well, I really like this trope so I decided to go ham and give love to girls from every region
• Eula disliked you because you disliked her. Of course slavery was unacceptable, and she hated her last name and everything associated with it because of it. But you continued to judge her and she wasn’t going to sit back and take it.
• Eula would purposely avoid you, but sometimes she was forced in a conversation with you. You could tell from her passive aggression that she hated your guts.
• Her changing point was when you defended her. Someone had ridiculed her for her last name and you stood up for her… she was confused to say the very least. After all who were you to talk, but somehow it brought butterflies to her stomach
• Eula suddenly dropped all formalities, her passive aggression became playful. Almost like a little child who bullied their crush, you knew Eula didn’t know how to show affection.
Eula stood around the corner mustering up the courage to talk to you while you were reading the commission board in Mondstadt. “Well well finally doing work huh?” She said with her head held high, you heard her heels clacking against the cobblestone behind you.
You turned to glance at her only to look back at the board. “Mhm, I’m trying to figure out which bounty to take. One ruin guard seems to be weakened to physical damage, while this one is rumored to be weakened to my vision.” Eula took her place beside you, she didn’t look at the posters but at you.
“Well if you ask me I’d take the first option.” She said, she hoped you’d offer to take her as she excelled at physical damage and she could impress you. A moment of silence passed until you decided.
“Hm nah, that’d be dumb,” you tore the second poster down. She gave you a playful hit on your head before pinning the poster in your hand back up and shoving the first one in your face.
“I outta take my vengeance out on you instead,” She pouted at you. “We’re doing this one together, I don’t care what you say.” You sighed and trailed behind her. You could still be irritating to her at times, but she was a handful and was grateful you tolerated her.
• You loved books, but you were banned from the library on accordance from Lisa. You never returned books on time, therefore you were forbidden. So you resorted to stealing, but every time you would return it secretly, although still late.
• You knew Lisa didn’t like you because she was an assertive woman. She wasn’t secretive about her dislike for you. Instead of calling you a cutie like everyone else, she called you a crook.
• Lisa’s opinion of you changed when you left her little gifts in the returned books. She would always check the condition and find flowers in between the pages with a note that asked for her forgiveness in a very flirtatious way if she were reading the connotations right.
• Lisa unbanned you from the library, but requested you to read in her sight. You bonded this way and she began to call you cutie, you noticed she stopped calling others cutie, only you.
You sat at a table in the library reading your favorite trilogy. Due to Lisa’s new conditions you could no longer leave with a book, you respected it because before if she caught you she would simply just kick you out.
You heard the chair across from you screech as someone sat in it. You looked up to find Lisa staring at you fondly, resting her head on one hand smugly while sliding to you a meaty book with the other. “Try reading that one cutie.”
You read the summary on the back and it was a sappy romance one, typically you didn’t enjoy this genre, but if it was Lisa you would read it. “I have an assignment for you,” she mentioned, intriguing you more. “Read it and tell me what you think about it. Reflect on the main protagonist and their heroine. Let me know if you see any parallels.” She smiled before leaving.
You blew through the book in a single day, it was incredibly cringey. The plot was too ideal and happy-go-lucky, absolutely unrealistic. But you couldn’t help but put yourself in the main characters shoes, and pretended as if Lisa was the heroine.
At the end was a note addressed to you from Lisa, it read: give me a chance with you and I’ll forgive you for your overdue books, and beside was a poorly drawn winky face. At the bottom was Love, Lisa. Emphasis on Love.
• Ganyu was your enemy because she disagreed with your work ethic. She thought it was inefficient and immoral which made her dislike you from the beginning.
• Ganyu was never expressive or loud in the first place, she probably despised you in silence. You found out when you called out for her and she ignored you voluntarily.
• It wasn’t until Liyue Harbor was in Peril and the Jade Chamber was sacrificed. She saw you fight valiantly for Liyue that she saw you in a different light.
•Although clumsy, Ganyu was always on top of her work. Especially when working with you to prove her superiority, but recently you noticed she wasn’t exactly following her former trends. Ganyu wasn’t avoiding you like the plague anymore, she actually made an effort to talk to you which was rare for anybody in Liyue.
Ganyu was working on a particularly hard assignment given to her by Ningguang. Typically she only handled lawsuits and fines, but recently Ningguang was giving her financial accounting… something she wasn’t familiar with, but you were.
You hear a knock on your door, “come in,” and there was Ganyu. She often found herself coming to your office nowadays, what surprised her more was her enjoying talking to you.
“Lady Ningguang assigned another one to me, can you help me balance the liabilities and assets?” You knew Ganyu was very well capable of figuring it out herself, yet she kept coming to you for help. You motioned for her to take the seat out in front of you.
Ganyu laid the ledger out in front of you, occasionally you two would touch hands on accident, sometimes on purpose. But neither of you seemed to mind, god forbid even mentioning it. You both had a permanent light blush on your faces.
Ganyu’s heart was beating so unnaturally fast she couldn’t focus on your directions. If she felt this way with you, maybe she should’ve come around on you sooner.
• Yanfei thought you were savage, always breaking the law no matter how minor. She chased you down probably once a day for stealing from vendors whether it be food or mora.
• you knew you were a pain in her butt, in fact she would verbally tell you were a pain her butt. She would mark you up fee after fee, she told you were a waste of her time and would roll her eyes.
• One time she caught you in the act, and when you thought you lost her you delivered the stolen goods to the abandon kids who were homeless on the streets of Liyue. Little did you know she was watching you from afar and decided to let you off the hook. She figured that’s what you did with all your stolen goods.
• She started to follow you everywhere whenever her schedule allowed it. She told you if you were going to donate to the poor at least do it legally. She directed you to many homeless shelter volunteer place.
You were planning on stealing some almond tofu for a particular kid who was struggling, but Yanfei was eyeing you down. You felt chills down your spine as she trailed closely behind you.
She wasn’t dumb, she could tell you were trying to shake her off. But she wasn’t going to allow it, “Come with me,” she grabbed your wrist tightly and brought you to a commission board for charity work.
She firmly pointed to a specific poster. It advertised volunteer hours for a nonprofit that geared towards helping the same kids in poverty that you did, but legally. “You owe Liyue a mountain of fees. You’re lucky it’s within my power to convert it to community service hours.” She folded her arms, “and as your legal advisor I’ll even supervise you so you don’t have to provide a documentation of proof.”
“You’re gonna keep poor little me company huh? What’re you my girlfriend?” You tease her, she only blushed a little her eyebrows knitting together as she cringed at your disgusting words.
“Geeze you never learn.” She face palmed at your juvenile manner. Maybe you were right though, she thought. Was she following you around to enforce the law, or because she felt some type of way around you? Maybe both?
• You served the Shogun yet you didn’t agree with her actions so you strayed. Sara thought you were dense because you could achieve so much more if only you depended more on her, but you chose to be alone.
• You could tell Sara hated you because she was quite public about it. She showed a visible distaste for you and refused to talk about you because she would get too angry if she did.
• It wasn’t until she found out about her fathers betrayal that she understood why you act alone. She understood suddenly the importance of acting on your own and rebelling against the army even if the end goal was mutual.
• Whenever you encountered Sara afterwards she would converse with you. She even gave you a nickname even though it wasn’t very flattering, and wish you good luck on your next mission.
You scheduled weekly meetings with Sara at the Kiminami restaurant, even with a new found respect for you she still found you irritating to the core. But she attended trying to find inner peace with herself.
You were way too optimistic for her, she thought your bubbly attitude was annoying in contrast to her depressive stern personality. Observers would disagree though, saying you two were a perfect balance.
“Sara, Sara- which one should I order this time? Maybe I should try yours, how do you like your meat cooked? Maybe I should request it medium rare as well, I usually have it cooked well done though. Say will I get food poisoning?” You were asking too many questions at once, as usual you were carrying a one sided conversation.
“Maybe if you gave me an opportunity to I could answer one of your many questions.” She said you could practically see the veins popping from her head.
She’d be lying if she said she didn’t enjoy your company. It was often lonely for her with her adoptive family and serving a puppet for all her life. Your big personality was enough to fill the void that she needed, she decided she would stay loyal to you. However it would be nice to stay beside you forever as your lover, maybe it was wishful thinking on her part though.
Characters: Ayaka, Shinobu, Beidou, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Shenhe x GN!Reader.
Warnings: None! Just fluff and comfort <3
“I haven’t introduced you two. She’s Ayaka, my best friend.”
Ayaka is immediately heartbroken, but as a Yashiro Commissioner member, she knows better than to let her emotions reflect on her expression, so on the outside no one would suspect she’s been affected by those two words.
But she has. Oh, she has.
She’s fairly inexperienced when it comes to social interaction, all the more so when it comes to a romantic relationship. She trusts that you love her, and she’s endlessly happy for everything that you do for her, but she’s not quite so confident when it comes to her own doings. Ayaka is constantly questioning herself, whether she should voice her opinion more around you or not, should she ask to hold your hand or would it be inappropriate, should she tell you how deeply-rooted her affection for you is or would that be too much, or too soon.
So when she hears you call her your best friend instead of her lover, she can’t help but think that perhaps this is your way of telling her you wish to not be her lover anymore, and the thought alone breaks her heart.
She’s silent for the remaining of the outing, even long after your friend is gone. She tries to not let it show and continues acting around you as she usually does, but you know her well enough to see behind her mask of politeness, so you confront her when you arrive at the Kamisato state.
“Do you… By any chance, do you wish to end your relationship with me?” Ayaka quietly asks you, her blue eyes downcast.
You’re quick to shake your head and hold her in your arms, explaining that you said that to protect her reputation from prying eyes, in case she wasn’t comfortable enough yet to let other people know you two were dating.
Ayaka hugs you back so tightly and says that she appreciates the effort but she loves you, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. She very much would like to let the whole world know how much she cherishes you <3
“You already know her right? She’s my best friend, Kuki Shinobu.”
What.
Shinobu stares at you for a solid second, eyes narrowed in confusion before she turns to the other person and nods politely, choosing to avoid a direct confrontation if she can help it.
But the second the other person is gone, Shinobu turns to you, arms crossed over her chest.
“What was that?”
“What was what?” You innocently ask.
“Best friend?” She repeats your words, a slightly annoyed tone in her voice. “I hadn’t realized I’d been demoted.”
Shinobu is a confident person, she doesn’t doubt for a second that you still love her. She trusts you enough to know that if your feelings for her ever changed, she would be the first person you’d tell.
And as for her, Shinobu is just as communicative with her emotions. You’re always the first person she goes to when she has a situation to resolve. Of course, she can take care of things by herself, but she trusts your judgment and, most of all, she likes the feeling of having someone trustworthy to rely on. She cherishes that about you, and she feels safe and secure in your love.
That doesn’t mean she won’t revoke your cuddling privileges for a week straight for this prank. Shinobu loves you, but she doesn’t enjoy being teased, and you’ll have to learn that the hard way.
“Yes, she really is the captain of the Crux! Beidou, my best friend.”
Beidou is momentarily taken aback by your words. Best friend, you say? You weren’t saying that last night at the Alcor, when you were with her in her chamber.
She’s quick to draw a sly smile, taking one step towards the other person.
“Best friend and lover! I get to ride this,” she says, slapping your butt loudly, “every other night. Aren’t I lucky? Hahaha.”
She bursts out laughing, your friend goes completely red in the face, and you’re utterly mortified. You will definitely measure your words in the future, pranking Beidou seems to backfire for you more often than not.
Beidou is a confident person, she’s lived long enough to learn to not be easily swayed by words. When it comes to you though, it’s true that she has a soft spot, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to let you make a fool of her wherever you please. After all, you’re her dearest lover, who puts up with all her quarrels and quirks. Surely you won’t be mad at her for this <3
“I don’t believe you’ve met my best friend Ganyu before, right?”
Congratulations, you’ve officially broken the fluff ball.
Ganyu’s eyes widen at the statement, but she doesn’t turn to you. She immediately lowers her gaze, now glued to the ground as the other person introduces themselves to her too. She’s as polite as she can manage while the gears in her brain start speeding up, her heart also picking up the pace.
Best friend…? Ganyu holds the edge of her dress between her fingers, fidgets with it while you cheerfully chat with your friend. Are we not lovers? Did I… misinterpret the situation?
Ganyu is very confident in her work ethic and capabilities. However, due to her adeptus upbringing and the clear differences between her and the regular mortals, she is far from confident when it comes to social interactions. And despite all the centuries she’s roamed this world, Ganyu is still quite inexperienced when it comes to matters of the heart.
You don’t find it troublesome taking things slow with Ganyu, letting her set the pace in your relationship as she slowly explores her feelings towards you, not one bit. And she’s endlessly grateful for the feeling of comfort you give her, how you’re always attentive and endlessly kind when talking to her, when you spend your lunch times together, when you accompany her on her naps, or you treat her to a meal in her favorite restaurant; how you hold her face in your hands and press your lips to hers in a sweet kiss every morning.
So then… Why did you call her your best friend?
The moment your friend is gone, Ganyu grabs your sleeve, preventing you from walking. You turn to her, about to ask her if everything’s okay.
“Did I do something wrong?” She quietly asks. “You can be honest, I… I can take it.”
You’re quick to reassure her that no, absolutely no, she’s perfect and you were just saying that in case Ganyu wasn’t comfortable with other people knowing about the two of you.
Ganyu is reassured but it’ll take more than an apology to get your words out of her mind, so please treat her kindly and give her lots of kisses for the rest of the night!
“Meet my best friend, the Director of the Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao!”
Hu Tao doesn’t miss a beat when she steps forward, reaching out to grab your friend’s hand with a big smile plastered on her face.
“Best friend and best girlfriend Hu Tao, at your service!” She cheerfully exclaims. “Say, have you found yourself lately in need of a coffin but thought to yourself, Crikey, these things are way too expensive! Well, my new friend, bear it no longer! Cause I happen to have just the thing you ne— Hey!”
You drag Hu Tao by the collar of her coat, waving at your friend with the other hand.
“It was great seeing you! I’m sorry, I just remembered there’s somewhere we need to be!”
“What was that for? I could’ve landed a good deal if you’d let me.” Hu Tao crosses her arms above her chest when you let go of her. “Besides, what even was that? I know I’m your best friend, but you should introduce me as your lover, silly!”
“I don’t want people to think we’re that close.” You cross your arms on your chest, suppressing a playful smile.
Hu Tao’s quick to catch on your joke, and she’s even quicker to wrap her arms around your neck, giggling easily.
“But we are that close, hee-hee!” She says, pressing her lips to your cheek time and time again, leaving butterfly kisses on your skin. “There’s no escaping this now~”
“Her name’s Shenhe, she’s my best friend and an adepti disciple. Super cool, right?”
Shenhe immediately turns to you, a deadpan look on her face.
“Am I not your lover?”
“Well— Yes, you are.” You draw a nervous smile, your friend staring.
“I don’t understand. I thought you mentioned that our relationship is one of lovers.” Shenhe insists. “Do best friends also kiss and have se—“
“Shenhe—!”
“I see you two are busy, I won’t bother you for longer. It was great running into you!”
Your friend excuses themselves and leaves. You turn to Shenhe, your cheeks burning. She stares at you, registering your expression.
“Just to be clear. Are we still lovers?” She says, her winter eyes searching in yours for clarification.
Having grown up on the mountains, raised by the adeptus and bearing the binding red ropes that restrict the range of human emotions she’s allowed to experience, it’s safe to say that Shenhe’s not familiar with emotions, much less with the terminology for them. It’s just so many things to remember, so many cues and newfound sensations. Shenhe relies on you to guide her through them, to support her while she explores her own emotions, and you love every bit of the experience with her.
“Yes. Yes, we are.” You sigh and draw a smile, gently pushing some locks of hair behind her ear. Shenhe relishes in your touch. “You are my lover and my best friend. I love you.”

You can check more of my writing on (this link!). Thank you!
i saw this pic on twitter (but unfortunately cant find the source again so idk if its official)
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 🥰
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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!

masterlist
• the person who let you have the last carton of eggs. you were rushing to the supermarket in an absolute frenzy; your mother wanted to make desserts, but you used up the last eggs in the house to complete a stupid ‘rubber egg’ science project of yours.
• it was already late, and the chances of the supermarket actually having anything there at all was very slim, but luck seemed to be in your favour??? lo and behold, right there in the poultry aisle, sits the last box of eggs. you could literally hear angels singing.
• well, your glorious moment was interrupted by a third party picking it up before you could. he was observing them with a critical gaze, and in a slight moment of panic, you were debating whether or not you could win against him in a fist fight.
• but as he gave you a quizzical look at your defeated expression, you opted for the second option: begging.
• it was a pitiful sight, really. you were about to get on your knees and plead at the poor guy just for the eggs. you knew your mother would be angry if you came home with nothing, and you weren’t about to risk a scolding, not today!!
• but instead, he just wordlessly handed the carton to you. no small talk, no need for you to throw your dignity to the side, nothing. it was like he could read your mind. you stood there in awe.
• you swear you could see a hint of a smirk on his face, though.
• the attractive person who was taking care of their sibling at the park. he was helping teucer climb up one of those spider web playground equipment things, and then his shirt rised up a bit and. oh. oh my god. ohhhhhh my god?!?!?
• turns out, he was your neighbour… the hot neighbour that you never noticed until now. you’ve interacted with his little siblings before, but never saw him?? and as you were having a mini crisis on a park bench, his little brother noticed you!
• you were invited to join them with a warm smile from both boys, and your heart almost skipped a beat imagining a domestic scene with the two: childe cooking a meal, while you and teucer sit at a table expectantly. ohh you hopeless romantic… imagining all these scenarios with a boy you’ve just met..
• you got attached way too quickly. you thought that childe believed the same: that you two hit it off, but apparently he didn’t. he gave you his number, but only ever initiated conversation if teucer wanted to meet up with you in the park. (the little boy had grown attached to you!) but it was never for anything else. childe never interacted with your ‘how was your day?’ texts at all.
• next thing you knew, the texts eventually faded into nothingness. you heard from a mutual friend of yours that childe started to date a new girl that moved into town, and that the two can be seen in the nearby park, acting like a sickenly sweet couple as they play tag with childe’s siblings.
• you occasionally walk by the park sometimes, and watch in envy as the girl took up the spot that you once had with the boys. it seemed as if teucer completely forgot about you; he liked the new girl more. and childe… he never once looked your way; he never saw you anything beyond a friend to begin with. childe may have never been yours, but a part of your heart still considered him to be a traitor.
