-> pairing: zhongli x goddess of flowers! fem! reader.
-> summary: from the day i met you ,i have always known. no matter how much i hoped and wished...it would never be me.
-> cw/ tw: major character death.
-> wc: 2.2k (damn i went crazy, be happy lovlies, i stayed up till 5 in the morning to finish this <3 p.s. not edited, i'll do that after i finally get some sleep)
-> an. yes I know there is a goddess of flowers in the game already but pretty please just ignore that part for me, i also know that zhongli and giuzhong met before the archon war but it's important for the story so ignore that part too <3333
also, i unironically don’t actually know much about zhongli’s lore. so if i didn't get every single little pieces of lore right and if my timeline wasn't actually canon, please don't be too harsh on me! i don’t really pay attention to lore in general no matter what game lmao
(might be working on part two but who knows hehe <333)
!! zhongli uses the name "zhongli" in this fic! i know that's not what he's called during the archon war but it's for writing purposes and i find it easier to immerse myself into a fanfic with zhongli compared to "morax" and "rex lapis"!!

✎ xoxo, yena
from the first time you met him, you have known.
from the way his beautiful hazel locks fades into a mesmerizing orange shade, to how his eyes are a shade of the purest gold. that the curse that mortals called love has befallen on you.
zhongli, in your eyes, was the epitome of beauty.
though it was the time of war where blood was spilled and cries were heard. your love and admiration for the man have never dimmed once.
the memories of meeting him for the first time burned in your head. how, even though his face was stoney and his voice was cold, his eyes were those of the kindest you’ve seen. his golden irises shining ever so brightly was something you could not miss.
he was never too close to you. always choosing to stand farther away from you whenever your group of adepti and gods and goddesses were enjoying time together. he spoke little words and yet his actions spoke thousands. instead of entertaining you with useless chatter, he chooses to quietly help you plant fields of chrysanthemums for the thousands of unfortunate souls that have died in this war of the gods for the throne.
although he was a stoney man, he was kind and gentle.
you could never find yourself asking to spend more time with him, for you had not want to be selfish. you had only ever hoped that you were one of the only people he would treat like this.
kind, gentle, careful.
and you were.
that is, until she came along.
guizhong was a lovely women, that you could not deny. unlike you who was shy and careful on the first meeting, she was cheerful and not afraid to exchange greetings with everyone. she was something that you had only wished you could be. she was lovely, you were not. she was wise, and you were smart, she was talented, and all you could do was grow flowers. she was everything you have always wanted to be and more.
you could understand why zhongli would fall in love with such a women. you would too, if you were in his shoes. in this time where red was painted everywhere and the most common sound was that of a grieving mother, guizhong’s existence was that of the sun.
she built weapons to aid zhongli in battle, built mechanics that could rival cloud retainer’s, and made melodies that you have only ever thought streetward rambler could make. she was the epitome of a perfect goddess — and you were simply just a shadow of her.
you could build weapons, but they were never good enough to use in a real battle. you’ve made decent melodies that was pleasing to hear, but nothing on streetward rambler’s level, and you could never even dream of building any mechanics without somehow hurting yourself in the process.
you felt useless being here. in an area where everyone had a purpose and was able to aid in the battle, the only thing that you could do was grow herbs for when someone needed them for medicine. no matter how much you wanted to help more, you couldn’t help but feel like you’d be more in the way then be actual aid.
so you stood by.
you stood by as days passed and the gentle gaze zhongli held for you moved onto guizhong. you stood and watched as gentle touches and gestures were exchanged, and small smiles shared. you stood by as the man you had love so wholly with your entire being moved onto loving another.
though, the truth was, he was never yours in the first place.
so you stayed away. you strayed from the group silently, not wanting to disturb the small peace that guizhong was able to bring to the group. you had wanted to keep your emotions in check, knowing that it would do no good when thousands were dying each and everyday. but it had hurt.
it had hurt everytime as you watched quiet conversations being exchanged between zhongli and guizhong with small smiles.
it had hurt when everyone — cloud retainer, streetward rambler, mountain shaper, moon carver, and all of the other adepti teased and joked about the two.
it had hurt, when you knew it was true.
so when one day as guizhong asked you to accompany her on a short walk, you agreed. you don’t know why you agreed, to be honest. it hurts already knowing you’ll never be as good of a goddess as she is and that the man you loved was in love with her. but there was this lingering sense of dread that dwells within you when the request left guizhong’s mouth.
so here you were, walking alongside guizhong as the two of you tread along the field of flowers you had grown just days before. the sun shone bright against your skin, and the gentle winds caresses the grass and flowers softly, making them brush against your ankles. it was a good day, one that felt too good to be true in this era of blood, sweat, and tears.
“so, y/n…” guizhong started the conversation, her voice startling you out of your focus on the nature around you. “how do you feel about zhongli?”
not knowing what she meant by this question, you took a second to answer. “zhongli…” you started, not knowing what to say in this situation. although you were heartbroken at your failed love before it had even started, but that did not mean you wished for anything to happen in guizhong and zhongli’s relationship. “he’s a kind man.”
guizhong raised an eyebrow at that response. “a kind man?” she questions, “but is he not the most violent and deadly among us gods and goddesses?”
“that may be true.” you bit your lip subtly, thinking about the time when his gentle gaze was directed to you. “but that does not mean he is not kind.”
“how so?”
“his eyes.” you answered without even thinking, your feet stopping you next to a small, lone wilted flower. “eyes, like how mortals often told, are the window to the soul.”
you glaze your fingers against the near-dead petal, “though he is a stony man whose voice and face is as hard as stone, his eyes and actions were — are always kind.”
slowly, a soft yellow glow surrounds the wilted flower, the once crestfallen flower was once again brimming with life.
“zhongli, though is a god of stone and war, he is also a kind and loving being.” you turn your gaze from the flower to guizhong, “you are lucky to have such a lover.”
guizhong’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion, her eyes brimming with puzzlement. “lovers? whatever do you mean-”
suddenly, an arrow tears through the air and lands on the ground behind the two women. a sense of horror fills the two, knowing that if they hadn’t been lucky just now, they would have been dead.
“ahh…what a shame i missed.” a deep, sinister voice calls out in front of them, a figure revealing themselves to be one of the smaller, lesser gods that had been unhappy with zhongli’s constant victories. “but i won’t miss the next time.”
out of nowhere, a more gods and goddesses surrounds the two women, starting them into battling positions. although both had been part of zhongli’s army, the two women had always only been there for support — guizhong being the strategist while y/n was the healer, neither of the women was able to defeat the small group of gods and goddesses in front of them.
they knew, if they don’t do something soon, they would die here.
both of them.
“hey.” the man who shot the arrow calls out. “you with the h/c hair.” he points his polearm at you. “you can run away, we are only here to kill the beloved of Morax.” he moves his polearm to point at guizhong. “run along now, while we’re still playing nice.”
unmoving from your position, you subtly angle your body so that it can cover more of guizhong's body, your hand behind you starting to glow a light yellow.
“guizhong.” your voice calls out, barely a whisper. “guizhong, you have to run.”
“what?” guizhong whispers back to you, her shock evident in her voice. “i can’t just leave you here and run away by myself!”
“but you have to” you replied, “they are here to kill you. you need to run.” you begin to move even more to cover more of guizhong. “run and get back up for me. they’re here to kill you and i can stall. so run. run until you see someone and then bring them back. i’ll still be here, i promise.”
“you promise?” guizhong asks, knowing that this was the best possible thing that both of you can do, as there were simply too many smaller gods that surrounded you both.
“i promise.”
and so guizhong ran.
zhongli was never a man to panic. although he had been in many difficult positions, he had always been able to keep a clear head.
so how come when guizhong barged into the tent of his, shouting for help to save y/n, zhongli could feel his heart stop?
he wasted no time in grabbing his spear and making his way out of the tent and towards the direction guizhong pointed at, his legs glowing an amber color as his speed increased more and more, his heart pounding so hard he could feel it in his ribcage. as his legs carried him towards where you were last seen, he couldn’t help be feel the impending doom linger over him.
suddenly everything stops.
with everything in his power, zhongli throws his polearm at the small god that stood atop your laying body. crushing and killing him in an instant all the while forming a geo structure around your fallen body.
all zhongli could see was red. red, red, red, and more red. all the sounds were muffled, the screams, and pleads, and apologies falling on deaf ears as zhongli continues to slay and kill those who had dare harmed you.
it was only when guizhong shakes him from his trance that he was able to make out what he truly needed to do at the moment — to save you.
with a soft amber glow to his arms and legs, zhongli made the geo structure disappear all while running to your side. cradling you in his arms as gently as possible, zhongli pushes the blood stained hair away from your face.
you had been struck with multiple knives that remained stuck in your flesh, but the most damning of all was the large polearm that impaled itself in your torso, ripping through your stomach and out your back.
“y/n…?” zhongli calls out.
“zhong…li?” your voice was meek, hardly any sound was coming from you. your heart was beating too slow and much too quiet for zhongli’s liking. “is…is that you?”
zhongli hugs you closer to his warm body, his hand finding yours to hold. “yes, it’s me.”
“did…did guizhong make it? is she okay?” your eyes were hazy, one of them blind from a thrown knife, and the other seeing red as blood from your head dripped into your eye.
“she’s fine, y/n. and you will be too” zhongli holds you even closer to him as he shifts around preparing to get up from the ground with you in his arms.
“no.” your voice rings, the surroundings becoming much too silent for zhongli’s liking. “i won’t make it.” your voice weavers at the last word, your eyes becoming much too heavy to keep open. “it’s time for me to go.”
“no, i can — someone can, someone has to save you.” without knowing zhongli’s voice fills with panic.
“zhongli.” your gentle voice rings out against his chest, and he stops to look down at you.
using the last of your remaining powers, your hands glowed once more a golden color that reminded zhongli of the sun. in your hand held a small osmanthus flower, brimming with life.
“a flower for you, my lord.” your lips pulled into a smile. “the osmanthus flower means faithfulness and true love, both of which i hold for you.” you tuck the flower behind his ears, something so delicate made his bloodied appearance look a little funny.
“i’m glad i’ve met and loved you in this life, even if i was never the one you’ve loved.”
with one last smile, your body begins to fade into small flowers. the part of you that was touching the ground spreads and creating a small patch of colorful, lively flowers, while the part of you that zhongli holds fades into a bunch of flowers.
zhongli was a strong god.
one so strong that he had never lost a battle. but this god, whom so many fear, now kneels on the ground, his forehead tickling the small flowers that bloomed in front of him, his arms by his side, hiding his face from those behind him.
zhongli doesn't cry. he never cries.
not when he was bleeding out from his wounds that hurt so much he thought he was going to die. not when he was betrayed by those he treated like family. but now zhongli wanted nothing more then to scream and curse the world for taking you away from him.
his sun. his flower. his love.
you were wrong when you had told him that you were not the one he loved.
So what I’m going to say seems to be coming not so soon, but believe me time is quick.
Please, everyone (most especially girls, but boys too because you guy can also be victims of that sadly) be aware that some little bitch created a r@pe day and it’s the 24th of April. So it’s in 3 month yeah but it’s better to already know.
During this day please if you go outside travel with some groups of girl and try to never be alone. And if you really can please stay inside your home. If you really have to go outside try to have a weapon or something like that on you in case too, I don’t care what it is, it can be a spray but it can also be a simple stick, as long as you can defend yourself with it. (Don’t bring something that could get you in prison in case you aren’t lucky and a cop wants to see what you carry on you.)
I don’t know who decided it was a good idea to create this day, but know that you are disgusting and that everyone hates you.
Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
I don’t normally participate in these kinds of posts buuut I’m desperately trying to convince my folks to let me get a chinchilla so I’m gonna give this one a shot even if I typiodont believe in these things.
Mist been a while since I’ve posted and really, being comply honest I’ve missed being here, but I don’t think I can stay here for any longer. There has just been so many things going at the same time that I’m really failing to keep up with so I’m now going to be going on a permanent hiatus.
I don’t know how long that’s gonna be, I just know it’ll be quite a while. I’m so sorry to everyone who was looking forward to a continuation to my series or was waiting for one of my stories to be published. This account will still be up and I will still occasionally come on, so if you see an idea you like from a post of mine and want to use it, contact me and let me know.
This also means that all of my collabs and all of the collabs that I’m in will also be discontinued and I will be dropping out. I am so so so sorry about this, but I really have to leave for my sanity’s sake, I feel like I’m on an edge right now so I really need a break. As well as the network of @knet-bakery is going to be coming to an end as well, I am so sorry about this, all discord servers will be deleted,
im really sorry for leaving the app without saying goodbye. in fact, i never wanted to say goodbye - i was planning to come back, but i can’t access my account @daystiny anymore. so here i am… jay!!
