Well... It's been a while since I've posted here. I really enjoyed the Sumeru-focused Archon quest. But now my Wanderer series officially occurs before this quest lol. (I said I wanted to not make my fic canon-compliant but my brain still goes there lol)
mimiiiiiii~ any new characters in genshin that you like? did u pull varka? how was the mondstadt flag ship event! — @milkstore
Hi Slo! Hmmm... New characters... I do like Illuga and Varka but not enough to write for them? It might be because so much is happening irl so I'm kind of just exhausted lol. I got Illuga but I didn't pull Varka. I'm actually saving for Linnea because I enjoy maining Noelle. The event was fun but then again, I've been too tired to fully enjoy it lol.

your short stint at avidya forest is coming to an end, and there's something you've yet to tell someone you believe you can tell anything and everything. turns out mushrooms, rukkhashava mushroom specifically, are the answer.

Your greatest takeaway from your time shadowing the Forest Rangers is that mushrooms are tasty. When you crave something to chew? Mushrooms. When you need to get your mind off things? Mushrooms. When you need an elaborate dish for a celebration? Mushrooms.
But among all the mushrooms that you tried in your time with the rangers, your favourite is the Rukkhashava Mushrooms.
They’re great in Mushroom Hodgepodge, a dish local to Sumeru, and Tighnari makes the best Mushroom Hodgepodge. He calls it Forest Watcher’s Choice. You might as well rename it as your favourite choice after all the times you ate it in his house for dinner.
And that’s how your simple time in Sumeru resulted in a deep friendship with Tighnari. Every evening you’ll talk over dinner before heading back to your rental space.
The talks could go on for hours. At first it was about his work as a ranger. You were there to understand their role, their routines, and their mission. In exchange, you told him your responsibilities working at The Steambird, your hopes of this trip, and the future you’ll have after.
As days went by, both of you shared stories of the people around you. Then, your own stories. There was once you accidentally slept in his house only to find yourself in his bed, tucked under his blanket. You found him resting in the living room.
(A disappointing outcome.)
You believe you can tell him anything and everything.
Until recently. There is one thing you can’t quite tell him, yet.
“Why is it so complicated?” You groan into your pillow. Your Fontaine friend, Chevreuse, is visiting Sumeru for work. Her time is precious, and here you are using it up to talk about some man that she hasn’t even met, only heard of. Like some mythical creature. He might be with his fox ears and how he resides in a large forest.
“You’re just over thinking this. All you have to do is go up to him and say it.” Chevreuse has her back against your bed. She is cleaning her musket as she speaks, methodologically wiping the barrel even if it is the shiniest you’ve ever seen it. She’s just that kind of person: doing things because she knows it has to be done.
“Chevreuse, look at me in the eye,” you say, propping your upper body up. She does as instructed, unbothered. “This isn’t something that you can just walk up to someone and say it.”
“I have. When I was younger and still training under my father, there was a boy who was my neighbour whom I liked. I told him my feelings before my father and I moved. I’ve never seen him since.” She places her musket down, tucks the cloth into her pocket. “It’s like your situation. There’s nothing to lose since you’ll not be seeing him again.”
“I may never see him, but I will become the correspondent between the Steambird and the Forest Rangers.”
“But it’s through letters and on a professional basis. There will be no need to bring up what you’ll tell him.”
You raise a hand and get off the bed. “I’m going to eat some mushrooms.”
“How many packets have you eaten? It’s not good to eat anything excessively.”
You grab two packets from your shelf with no intention to share. “What can dried Rukkhashava Mushrooms do?”
It can do a lot.
After Chevreuse leaves and you lay in bed, your head feels lighter. It became surprisingly easy to fall asleep.
You dream of the cool breeze of Avidya Forest kissing your skin. The wooden planks of Gandharva Ville creaking underneath your boots. The brief yet welcoming Good Mornings of the figures that pass by. You believe you hear Tighnari’s voice, calling your name gently.
I have something to tell you, you want to say. Before I leave for Fontaine, I need you to know I love you.
The quiet scratches at your throat.
I don’t expect you to say anything, of course he can’t say anything in a dream, but just know you’ll occupy my waking hours as you do now. My time spent with you are very precious to me.
Do you feel the same way?
Tighnari’s response is a blur. All you remember is his face getting closer and closer. His hand is on your forehead. He calls someone and a twinge of green clouds your vision. You grab his hand on your forehead and kiss the back of it.
There’s a crowd, but you don’t care. Tighnari presses a cup against your lips. Cool liquid slides down your tongue.
Your dreamscape melts.
When you wake, you are in a bed, blanket neatly tucked. A feeling of déjà vu washes over your confusion. You turn around to check the living room but you find him sleeping, head cushioned by his hands on the edge of the bed.
Without time to go back and pretend you’re asleep, he stirs awake. His green eyes meet yours, and you’re about to ask a question when his face turns red. You’re readying for his rebuke but instead he coughs into his hands and looks away.
“Eating too much Rukkhashava Mushrooms can have psychoactive effects,” he says meekly.
“Ho-how’d you know…” You turn, heat rising in your throat.
“Your friend came over to check your condition and told me of your recent eating habits.”
“I’ll be more careful next time,” you say, voice thick with awkwardness but incomparable to the tension in the room. “Can we forget what happened? I don’t want that to affect us.”
“No, I can’t ignore it anymore,” he says, shaking his head as if in disbelief. “I noticed your feelings but I didn’t want to assume and ruin what we had. My choice made you like this.” He takes your hand with the same tenderness as you did before. Then, he kisses it. “Does this answer your question?”

The Boyfriend You're Not Dating Takes Good Care of You - Ororon x f!reader
Summary: Ifa was familiar with Ororon’s shenanigans, but figuring out his relationship with you gave him a headache.
Humour, fluff, female reader, 1.2k, inspired by the humour from that Fontaine event
****
Traveling to the other tribes wasn't new in Ifa’s line of work. Although “The Children of the Echoes” was a bit far from home, he still came when help was needed. But as Ifa crouched down to feed the young tepetlisaurus under his care, he heard Cacucu shrieking from the tops of his lungs.
“No way, bro! No way, bro!” he shouted repeatedly with Ororon chasing after him. Ifa squinted his eyes to see what Cacucu was carrying, and in the next moment it had fallen on his lap, about 480 pages and all.
“The Guy that I Can't Stand is Dating Me?” Ifa read the title of the book out loud. He raised a brow and then lifted his head to see Ororon out of breath.
“Cacucu,” Ororon scolded him, “you can't just go around stealing other people's books.”
Ifa narrowed his eyes at him. “This is yours?”
“Of course not,” he replied. “It's Granny’s.”
“Then why do you have it?”
“I borrowed it.”
Ifa crossed his arms. “And did you ask her, before borrowing it?”
“Huh? Of course I did.”
“And did she say yes?” Ifa emphasized the last word.
“Of course not! These books are precious to her.”
Ifa groaned and his little saurian patient mimicked him in empathy. “You can't just take them if she said no,” he scolded him.
“You told me to ask before borrowing something, so I did,” Ororon said.
At this point, Ifa rubbed his temples. “Anyway, forget about that. Why did you take the light novel in the first place?”
“Oh that? Granny says I am in love or something, so I did some research. But I'm still not convinced,” replied Ororon.
Ifa’s brain took a moment to process his words. Where should he even start? That Ororon was in love or the fact that he was using a light novel for research? Before he could ask either question, Ororon continued to explain away.
“Granny says I enjoy taking care of Y/n and that's her explanation for why she thinks I'm in love,” he says. “But it's not like she’s the only one I enjoy caring for.”
“Don't tell me you said you enjoy taking care of your vegetables too.”
“Exactly,” Ororon nodded. “That's exactly what I told Granny.”
Ifa groaned. “Bro, I don't know if that's a compliment or what? You're also happy when those same vegetables are boiled into a stew.” Should Ororon really be comparing you to his vegetables? He did enjoy talking to them…
Ifa had never met you before; he had only heard your name in passing. He had been so busy with work that he only realized he and the rest of their friends hadn't seen Ororon around as much. Was it because he'd been spending more time with you?
“Could you give me TGTICSIDM now?” asked Ororon.
“The T-G-T-I… what?”
“ TGTICS–”
“Hold on there, bro. I heard you the first time, but I have no idea what you're talking about,” said Ifa.
Ororon pointed to the letters of the light novel. “See? T-G-T-I-C–”
“Okay. Okay. I got it,” he said, handing the book to him.
“No way, bro! No way, bro!” said Cacucu.
“Huh? What's wrong, Cacucu?” asked Ifa.
“Cacucu, you've got to let me finish this light novel so I can prove to Granny that I'm not actually in love– oh! It's Pookie Bear!” Ororon waved.
Ifa choked on air. “Pookie Bear?” he said as he turned around. The little tepetlisaurus cocked his head in curiosity.
A girl about the same age as Ororon ran up and hugged him on the spot. “What's my sweet little cabbage roll doing out here?”
“Cabbage roll?” asked Ifa to nobody in particular.
“To visit you of course,” Ororon replied. “Did I surprise you?”
“Every time,” you said with a grin.
Ifa couldn't believe his eyes. Did Ororon actually have a girlfriend? No, that couldn't be right. He just said a moment ago that he wasn't in love.
But the more Ifa observed you two, the more of a headache he felt.
“I got you some Ajilenakh nuts from a Sumeru merchant. I bet you'd like them,” Ororon said, handing a bag of them to you.
“Thank you!” you said, holding him even closer. “But how do I eat them?”
“You have to crack open the shell first.”
“Do I smash them on the ground?”
“No,” he chuckled. “Not like that. Let me show you how.”
Citlati was right. Ororon did enjoy taking care of you. So what exactly was your relationship?
Ororon stood behind with his arms wrapped around you as he taught you how to eat the Ajilenakh nuts. You didn't seem to mind, as if the action was perfectly natural. You squealed with delight when he opened the nuts and gave them to you to eat.
And now you were holding his hands?
“I wish you didn't live so far,” you told Ororon after turning around and staring into his eyes. “It's difficult for me to travel all the way to your tribe.”
“That's alright. I can come visit you here often.” He placed a hand on his chin and suddenly had another thought. “Maybe I could even move here.”
You gasped. “But what about your vegetables?”
"They're grown up enough now. I don't need to be by their side all the time. One hour a day should be enough time for a bedtime story.”
“What?” exclaimed Ifa. “Are you for real, bro?”
“Don't worry. They're pretty independent now–”
“–That's not what I meant–”
“–One hour is more than enough. I need to start letting them go and explore the world for themselves.”
Ifa placed a hand on his forehead. “What is even going on right now?” But at least he could tell that Ororon seemed to care more about you than his vegetables. That counted for something, right?
But one more tender look from Ororon was all Ifa needed to be convinced. “Okay, you're definitely a couple,” he said.
“No, we're not,” said Ororon. “We're completely different from the main characters in TGTIC–”
“–you don't need to finish spelling it–”
“–SIDM. We don't fight or bicker at all. And according to the light novel, couples insult each other all the time. I'd never do that to her.”
“That's not a good book to reference!” said Ifa.
“Then which light novel should I read then?”
“You should read–” Wait. What was Ifa saying? He shouldn't be using any light novel for reference about relationships.
His head hurt.
“Anyway, everyone's getting it wrong,” said Ororon. “We're not dating.”
“That's right,” you agreed. “Ororon is my boyfriend.”
“Your what?” asked Ifa.
“My boyfriend,” you clarified. “You know, a friend who's a boy.”
“Exactly,” confirmed Ororon. “Boyfriend.”
Ifa didn't think he had the patience to deal with this anymore.
“Get outta here, bro,” said Cacucu.
“You know what?” said Ifa. “You're right, Cacucu. My brain hurts just trying to wrap my head around this.” He picked up his supplies, packed up his bags, and rubbed the tepetlisaurus’ head. The little saurian should be fine in a few days. “Anyway, I'm happy for you, bro,” he told Ororon.
“Thanks,” he said with a smile. “It means a lot to us.”
As Ifa picked up his bags and left, he could hear the two of you make dinner plans together. That, and you continued to talk about Ajilenakh nuts.
