Childhood friends to Lovers troupe with Keqing, Ayaka, Yoimiya, Lisa, and Kokomi? Thank you 🙏🙏

Childhood Friends to Lovers

Characters: Keqing, Ayaka, Yoimiya, Lisa, Kokomi x gn!reader

Warnings: none

A/n: Ah simple yet one of my favorite troupes to write for 😎

• You watched Keqing grow up from a young girl to a remarkable woman. Liyue’s Yuheng nonetheless was achieved by nothing short of her power and tenacity.

• Keqing had two favorite people growing up, you and her Grandfather. Nobody could deal with her stuck-up attitude, so she naturally only got close to you with her Grandfather no longer present.

• She didn’t depend on anyone, not even the Archons themselves. But the more you relied on her, she found herself relying on you. It’s not like she needed you, but socially you two isolated yourselves in a little bubble from the rest of Liyue.

Keqing was always unintentionally harsh with her words, her title as Yuheng didn’t necessarily help. Because of these two factors, many decided actively to keep their distance from her. That was except you, even as she grew older and her words grew harsher, you never left her side.

You sat together enjoying dinner at Wanmin after a night of endless shopping, two of Keqing’s favorite pastimes. Suddenly she began to get sentimental, “I often reminisce on the times when we were children. And I’d like to thank you for sticking by my side.” She was speaking oddly formal with you.

“Of course Keqing, you don’t have to thank me,” you could tell she didn’t believe your words of dismissal.

“No really, I feel you could do so much more. Spend your nights achieving great things in Liyue. But our relationship prevents you from networking,” she looked shameful. “It's just as others say, if I never had this spiteful personality I’d be more approachable. And with you by my side, others assume the worst.”

“Then pay no attention to them,” you held her hand from across the table. “Why do you think I’ve been with you since childhood? Without you, I am not complete.”

“Then I’ll hold you accountable,” she blushed slightly at your bold statement. You were determined to shed her if her insecurities of you.

• When Ayaka’s parents passed at such a young age, you were the only one there for her as support. Ayato as the eldest son was far too busy to deal with Ayaka.

• You remember all her sleepless nights crying in your arms when she realized her mother was never coming back. You sympathized with her becoming her closest friend.

• She grew up to become the Shirasagi Himegimi- a literal princess is Inazuma. Even though you had undeniable feelings for her, you felt you couldn’t even hold a candle to her greatness.

With the announcement of the Vision Hunt Decree, the Yashiro Commission grew hectic. Ayaka being the head of the snake to the rebellion on Narukami Island, grew stressed and unstable. At one point she found herself outside your room late at night, like when you were younger.

You two lay facing each other, although you were much older, Ayaka still found comfort when sleeping beside you. She reached for your empty hand, embracing the warmth of it. “Remember when we were younger, we would sleep together frequently? that was nice.”

“I do remember,” you said, your heart racing out of your chest. Since then much had changed, including your feelings towards Ayaka.

“I wish we could do this more often. I miss sleeping beside you,” you wondered if she meant it. And if she did, did she understand the connotation behind it? That you two weren’t children anymore, and how two adults don’t sleep in the same bed without underlying meanings.

She closed her eyes and you heard light breathing from her. After a couple of minutes, you assumed her idle figure was asleep already, and you couldn’t help yourself but shuffle a little closer to her body. Closing your own eyes before you heard a gentle, “thank you for allowing me to sleep here for the night, I love you,” From her.

• Yoimiya as a young girl was naive and nothing more than trouble. She would get herself in scrimmages because of folklores she heard the grown-ups talking about. Often dragging you along.

• Every kid in the neighborhood wanted Yoimiya on their side, she was so popular. But something about you drew her to you. Out of everyone she would choose you, she still would even as you two grew up together.

• You two were like two peas in a pod. Yoimiya grew smarter and became the adult telling the folklores. You watched her grow up to be a fine young lady, something she was destined to be.

Yoimiya was nothing short of beautiful. The Naganohara Fireworks business booming because of her spiffy attitude and her handiwork. Everyone’s sons lined up to be wedded to her. But in her father’s eyes, nobody was qualified for her hand in marriage except you. However, in Yoimiya’s eyes, she belonged to nobody.

You both sat atop a random grassy hill on Narukami Island, Yoimiya feeling down in the dumps because of her father. Because of his poor hearing, he spoke louder than most. This time around, he yelled on the streets asking you when you were going to propose to his daughter.

Frankly, it was embarrassing for Yoimiya. You had already come to terms with your feelings for your childhood friend, yet you only pretended it bothered you for her sake. “I’m sorry about my father,” she said somberly.

“It’s no worries Yoimiya. Trust me I don’t mind,” you felt a little off lying to her. And most importantly lying to her. “You know I’m always here for you right?”

She buried her head deeper into her legs, curling into a compressed ball. “I know, I just don’t like when he acts like that. I mean, it’s crazy right?” It sounded as if Yoimiya was trying to convince herself of her own words, afraid you’d find her disgusting if you found out her mutual crush on you.

“I don’t think it’s crazy,” you admitted. She couldn’t believe her ears, but she wanted to believe it so badly.

“You really think that?” She murmured.

• Lisa was a prodigy despite her lazy attitude towards everything. No matter the importance she was always falling asleep, so you followed her to Sumeru Academy to prevent her from falling under.

• Thanks to you she stayed on top of everything, she believed she owed you a lot even though it was all her doing. She said you were moral support.

• When you both grew up you followed her to Mondstadt where you continued to be her moral support. You watched her become the Purple Rose in everyone’s hearts. It didn’t take long for Lisa’s duties to override your time with her.

“I noticed you’ve gotten closer to that traveler recently,” You mentioned dusting off some bookshelves. The past week you felt a significant difference in your relationship with Lisa. You felt she was slipping from your grasp, and your hold on her was weakening.

“Ara~ that cutie? Yeah there’s something about them that’s different from the rest, I feel as if they can save us from Stormterror’s reign.” Your teeth clenched at the nickname.

“But can we rely on an outsider? I mean, we really know nothing about them,” you hid your intentions behind your fake smile. Lisa wasn’t dumb though, growing up with you she knew exactly what game you were playing.

“Oh do I sense jealousy?” She approached closer, running her hand over your shoulders with a playful smirk. Her voice echoing with sultry through your eardrums. “Don’t get me wrong that darling has much potential, but allow me to put your mind at ease.”

She went to a small whisper in your ear, “In my eyes, nothing is more interesting than you.” She giggled lightly, her lips brushing your earlobes causing you to blush madly. “remember that okay?”

• As a young girl Kokomi was strangely introverted for how much attention she received as the future Divine Priestess. Being one of her few friends, she chose you to be her closest attendant.

• As Kokomi came to age, she had many people attempt to court her. The difference between you and them was motives. They sought Kokomi out for power, political stance, and service. You loved her for who she was but in secret.

• No matter how rich, how stunning, or how strong each candidate was, Kokomi would reject them without hesitation. You would wonder as to why, she was a budding young woman, and had much potential.

There it was, another suitor kissing the back of Kokomi’s hand as they’re sent off. You’d never openly admit it, but it killed you inside to see a bunch of random diplomats attempt to seduce your best friend. You watched from afar behind the corner. Clutching your chest you got lost in your thoughts. Why did it even bother you so much in the first place?

“Are you okay?” Kokomi inquired, you didn’t even notice her approach you. She gently grabbed your hand and took it away from your chest. “You’re always so rough with yourself, please be gentle for me.”

“Ah, sorry Kokomi. I didn’t mean to worry you,” you still found it a little hard to stray your thoughts from Kokomi.

“No worries, I’m right here,” She placed your hand on her bosom. You felt her heartbeat strongly underneath her dress. You couldn’t prevent the blush that tainted your cheeks, avoiding eye contact to tame your feelings. “Hey, what’s wrong lately? You’ve never acted like this before with me?” You hesitated, what good would confessing to Kokomi do? Worst case scenario. she rejects you and you no longer have the same relationship as you did before.

“Could it be you’ve developed a little crush on me finally?” She smirked trying to make light of the situation. You couldn’t tell if she was joking or not, her smile seemed to have a deeper meaning. Her pale blue eyes try to read your feelings through your raw reaction.

—[xx] KISSING THEM GOODNIGHT

A/N; Same writer as @childeluv

#ALBEDO;

Seeing him peacefully in bed, was like a dream come true. He was always busy experiment with or on you, or just busy helping Sucrose with an activity or experiment of hers. So seeing him in bed, fast asleep, with his chest heaving up and down was adorable. He was beautiful under the lamp light that was on his dresser. So you pressed a kiss to his forehead seeing his head shift to the slightest. “Goodnight Albedo…”

#CHILDE;

He’s always working, or satisfying you or playing with his younger brother. So seeing his sleep was a nice reliever. You didn’t want him to overwork himself. Besides, he looked handsome while he was asleep. Falling asleep right on the couch. So you only placed a blanket over him and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

#EULA;

As a woman of hard work. She deserves her sleep time. So when you saw her taking a nap in the bedroom you shared with her. You observed her carefully before caressing her cheek a bit, and pressing a kiss to her head. “Sleep well my dear…”

#KAEYA;

Immediately went to bed the second he came home. So when you went to go to bed as well two hours later, after he did. He was sound asleep making faint snoring noises. He was basically hogging the sheets, blankets and the pillows but you didn’t care. You’d just sleep in his arms anyways. Which is what you did right before you placed a kiss on his lips that you hope he wouldn’t wake up to.

no thoughts, head empty, just Columbina & Arlecchino

destination (hc scenario)

penpal: omg you’re so big-brain anon, this is a wonderful idea ✋😭 hope i did it right <3

prompt: aries the ram, red thread soulmate au

pairing/s: lisa x gn!traveler!reader, jean x gn!traveler!reader

sypnosis: on your journey to find the unknown god that stripped your powers away by traveling around the seven existing nations, you didn't expect to meet your destination so soon. (or, hc on how you met jean and lisa while finding the unknown god who stripped your powers away).

include/s: archon quest spoilers (mondstadt-liyue quests), reader's from another world and isn't aether/lumine (the reader is basically aether/lumine but they have a different backstory and has a different way of how they travel around teyvat)

Congrats On 1k Followers! I Hope This Isn’t Too Confusing But Hc Scenarios Of Aries/red Thread Au (fluff)

-> it started when your string led up to the sky.

-> with your abilities to travel around different worlds, you concluded that perhaps the universe set this as a journey for you to find your destined other, who could be in any world that exists.

-> however, as you try to travel to a world, you encounter a god.

-> one thing led to another, and you're suddenly in a world called teyvat with your powers being stripped off. you honestly didn't know what to do, at first. which way should you go? how do you know if the unknown god is from this world? how can you get out of here without your powers?

-> then you met your personal guide, paimon.

-> you were honestly thankful that you saved the strange companion from being killed by hilichurls. everything you didn't know about the world, paimon gladly filled information about everything she knows about this world as a gratitude for saving her life.

-> although you were thankful to have a guide like paimon, you couldn't help but be weirded out by how she can see everyone's strings.

-> with information about the seven archons who rule over the seven nations, you decided to visit every nation to confront each archon about the unknown god, hoping to find at least one intel about the god who took the most important thing that could've helped you find your soulmate away, leaving with no trace of her whereabouts.

-> your first destination was sumeru, a nation where the god of wisdom resides. after finding no signs or info on who you're after, it was easy to say that you felt disappointed. however, the god of wisdom offered you to go visit mondstadt and meet a certain scholar who may help you on finding information on the unknown god while finding the god of freedom.

-> when people said mondstadt was being in danger thanks to a dragon, you didn't think it would be this serious.

-> you were supposed to go to the knights of favonius about the scholar that could help you along with information of the god of freedom's whereabouts, but you suddenly found yourself gliding towards the dragon to try to fight against it, causing the dragon to fly away and disappear.

-> because of this, people now started calling you the honorary knight: the savior of mondstadt.

"we like to thank you again for what you did," the acting grandmaster, jean, says with a smile as she guides you towards the knights of favonius headquarters. "forgive me if i sound rude but i honestly have never met someone like you, where did you came from?"

"it's uh, a long story per say," you answered with a light laugh. "but i came here because a friend from sumeru told me that i should look for a scholar who could help me. do you know anyone who came from sumeru?"

her eyes brightens from your question. "oh yes. we have someone who studied in sumeru and is now working for the knights of favonius. i can take you there if you'd like."

you sigh in relief, thankful that you no longer have to worry about having a hard time in looking for the scholar. "yes please."

"...uhm, y/n?" paimon calls out, causing you to look at your companion in confusion. "is it normal for your string to move so.. wildly?" she asks, pointing at the red thread that's wrapped around your finger.

your eyes widens when you notice how it started moving a lot. what does this mean? is your soulmate in danger?

you look up at where your string leads to, only to see a building that isn't too far away from where you and jean are–

could your soulmate be in there?

"what.. what is that building?" you ask jean, who stops her tracks in confusion.

"it's the uh, the knights of favonius headquarters. is something wrong–?" without another word, you immediately ran off towards the building with paimon following. could it be? could your soulmate be in here for all this time?

as you arrive by the headquarters, you were immediately stopped by the two knights being stationed by the entrance.

"halt!" one of them orders, blocking your way from entering. "state your purpose here and we'll le–"

"i need to go inside! my soulmate could be in there!" you exclaim, trying to go through in frustration. "forgive us traveler, but we cannot let you in unless you have an important–"

"let them in, guards." jean interrupts, slightly panting from running. "they saved mondstadt from stormterror's wrath, it's the least we can do."

as soon as the guards immediately lets you in, you immediately gave jean a thankful look before you continue to follow where your string leads you, anxious to see if whether or not your soulmate is in the same world as you.

the moment you opened one of the doors of the headquarters, your eyes landed on a woman with purple clothing.

"oh? and who may you be?" she asks, closing the book she was reading as she turns around to your direction.

your heart drops at the sight of your red string being tied around her finger.

is this a dream?

the woman stares at you in confusion until she notices her red string leading to your finger, causing her to gasp out in surprise.

"oh my..." she comments.

paimon watches in excitement as you and the woman stare at each other with relieved look on your faces.

"it's you."

-> you were supposed to travel to find your soulmate.

-> however, you found yourself fighting an unknown god and suddenly found yourself being stranded on a world where seven gods rule over seven nations with their respective elements.

-> because of this inconvenience, you set yourself a new goal: find the unknown god and take back what's yours.

-> on your journey, you then met paimon, who you saved from drowning to death. as gratitude for saving her life, she decided to become your personal guide to teyvat, to which you're thankful for.

-> your first destination was liyue, whereas you were assumed to be the person who killed rex lapis, fought a harbinger, and fought an ancient god, and found out that rex lapis is still alive and is in disguise as a mortal name "zhongli."

-> before you departed from liyue, you had a short conversation with the tianquan, who offered you to visit mondstadt to see the acting grandmaster and the god of freedom to help them on taking down a dragon that's been keeping mondstadt in danger from its wrath.

-> which led you to where you are now, walking around windrise with paimon as you head towards where the city is.

"i heard that stormterror is actually the original dragon of the east of mondstadt's four winds. i wonder what happened to him that made him go crazy.." paimon comments as you sigh in response.

"i just hope that barbatos knows at least one info on the unknown god–"

"hey who's that person over there?" paimon interrupts, causing you stop talking for a moment, and look at where she's pointing, only to see a person below the tree in a kneeling position.

"do you think she needs our help?" you ask.

"...ehh just to be sure, let's do it."

the two of you then head towards the huge tree where one of the statue of the seven resides. you took note of how the person has a sword, causing you to stay alert.

"uh, excuse me?" you spoke up to the woman. "are you alright?"

the woman suddenly looks up at you after you called her out, suddenly making you taken back by surprise from how beautiful her eyes are. "o-oh! my apologies, i didn't mean to worry you both. i was just paying respects to vanessa.” she said with a smile as stands up from the ground.

you blink a few times before shaking your head reassuringly, not noticing how paimon's suddenly panicking from suddenly discovering something. "no need to apologize! my friend and i were just walking by and we just wanted to check and see if everything's fine–"

"i-it's you." the woman speaks up, eyes widening slowly as she stares at your hand.

you look at her in confusion. "...i'm sorry, what?"

paimon groans in frustration. "i’ve been trying to tell you this whole time, look at your hand!" she exclaims.

you immediately look at your hand that has your red string wrapped around your finger, slowly tracing to where it leads this time–

only to see the red thread wrapped around the woman's finger.

your eyes widens as well, glancing at both you and the woman's fingers in disbelief. "...oh."

who knew you have already arrived to your destination?

kamisato ayaka ✧˖*࿐

she’s so mellow and patient she would kinda just roll with your flow. it’s the dead of night but you wanna climb down to the beaches of her estate and collect seashells? give her a second to fix her hair and she’ll be outside

when ayaka first saw the message her attendant handed to her, she knew exactly who sent it.

“the beach, midnight, bring the biggest bag you can- we’re seashell gathering!” the message reads, “P.S.- don’t worry about your guards catching us. i’ve caught on to their friday night drinking habits! ;)”

ayaka chuckles to herself and folds the letter neatly.

“my lady? what were the contents of such a message?” her attendant asks.

ayaka shakes her head. “could you please prepare me a large bag and a coat on my dresser before i go to bed tonight?” she requests.

“of course, my lady,” the attendant replies with a bow, “are you going somewhere? i can ask a guard to escort you?”

“that’s a secret to be kept between me and the sender of this letter,” she says with a smile.

yoimiya ✧˖*࿐

you guys are both super enthusiastic and only feed off of each other i pity any tired person around you

but nevertheless, this leads to loads of fun all the time

“[Y/N]! [Y/N]!” yoimiya squeals, “c’mon, the fireworks show is about to begin!”

“aw, but just one more round of darts!” you protest, “if i pop that gold balloon, i win that big tanuki plushie for you!”

“it’ll be there after the show!” she counters, gripping your hand, “let’s go! i have a special spot!”

with a tug, yoimiya runs up the hill of the festival venue, your kitsune mask nearly flying off your head. she runs almost too quickly for the average human, but the speed and her enthusiasm rips fits of laughter out of you as you follow your girlfriend uphill. she stops under the tree at the crest of the hill and places her hands on her hips.

“sit down, [Y/N], this is the best seat in the house!” she proclaims proudly, watching as you do as told.

“you better join me,” you tease, grabbing her hand and yanking her down so that you can lean your head on her shoulder. she wraps her arms around your head to hold you still as she places a kiss to the crown of your head.

“keep your eyes peeled, [Y/N],” yoimiya advises, “i was careful to pack extra fireworks in your favorite color.”

baal ✧˖*࿐

poor baal

it’s hard to maintain an empire of tyranny when your needy energetic s/o wants cuddles constantly 🙄🙄🙄 just girly things ig

“baal, are you almost done?” you ask from your chair in her office.

“[Y/N], i still have to finish approving these permits,” she grumbles, completing another one with a swift stroke of her brush and setting it aside. an entire stack still awaits her acknowledgment.

“aw… but i’m so needy, baal,” you coo, putting your jaw in your hands and glancing at the floor, watching your feet shuffle, “c’mon, the almighty shogun can’t take a break to give her beloved a kiss?”

“i’ll give you plenty of kisses once we go to bed,” she promises, albeit somewhat frustrated at your neediness, “but i am the ruler and that comes with more than its fair share of work.”

you stand and approach her, swinging one of your legs over her legs and sitting on her lap, her face just inches from yours. she glances up, a storm of anger brewing in her violet eyes, meeting your dopey grin. you peck a kiss to the tip of her nose and chuckle to yourself. the woman sighs and presses her lips to yours for a moment before pulling back, her expression as stony as before.

“now move,” she says, despite a dust of pink across the high points of her cheeks, “that stunt you pulled must’ve put me two documents behind schedule.”

sangonomiya kokomi ✧˖*࿐

like ayaka, she’s also pretty level-headed.

she also finds your childlike spirit absolutely adorable and has a wide variety of sweet names for you :)

“kokomi! kokomi!” you call, opening the door to the room where she drafts military plans, “while i was out exploring, i found so many sango pearls!”

the young woman glances up and smiles. “i love those!” she gasps, “i used to gather them all the time when i was little. i’m so grateful you like it here at watatsumi island, angel.”

you place your collection of pearls on her desk. “i love it here. it’s so colorful, it takes my breath away every time,” you sigh, “let’s go for a stroll! are you up for a break?”

kokomi weighs her options. “just a little one?”

you nod your head. “unless you wanna stay with me longer!”

kokomi giggles and stands. “as you wish, my love,” she weaves her delicate hand into yours and places a kiss to your cheek, “such a distraction… you truly are a challenge for my work ethic, but indeed a welcome one.”
