An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
The humans on Beach City carried around little ones like this, like you, all the time, and almost always got frantic whenever they lost track of them. To leave something so weak and vulnerable on its own was clearly frowned upon, and for very good reason. It was more than evident to the Gem that something this small and helpless could not defend itself from threats or dangers of any sort, so it was little wonder that humans were so fussed about keeping them safe. Even without utilizing any sort of future vision, Garnet could think of a hundred different things that could fell such a fragile thing.
You. Fragile, helpless, vulnerable little you.
Aw.
Something ever so slightly softened in her expression… not that you could tell, of course. You continued to weep and scream.
(Or, you were the first human-gem child the Crystal Gems raised. Now that you're an adult, you're helping them raise Steven. It's a learning process.)

author's thoughts ✧ third post of 2026 💪 slay! i'm super busy these days so i unfortunately can't post as much as i did back when i was @.idyllic-affections. i was in high school then, but now i'm working and in college... isn't that crazy? time flies. still a genshin fan though. unfortunately. /silly anyways. it's all women in the post this time. not what i intended but...

Mavuika is, naturally, very busy—she doesn't get much time to herself, let alone time to spend with her loved ones. She does her best to make time. It helps that Mavuika is still human; she still needs to rest. Thus, she came up with a solution to never having much time to spend with you: sharing a bed at night. She always has a space next to her designated for none other than you, and it's well known by everyone that you are permitted to come and go from her space as you please. With that said, Mavuika is among the best cuddlers on Teyvat. Her skin emanates a permanent warmth as a consequence of her role as the Pyro Archon and her arms are secure as a consequence of her long term claymore usage. Sometimes she'll talk to you until you fall asleep against her side, the rumbling of her voice resonating from within her ribs and echoing within yours. Other times, she'll still be doing something into the late hours of the night—finishing off a painting, solving the newest puzzle on the market, et cetera. In these instances, she ensures she's sitting somewhere comfortable, and lets you fall asleep with your head in her lap. It's the safest place in the world, really.
Xilonen is a chronic napper. Despite how busy she always is, she would never pass up the opportunity to take a good nap under the afternoon sun. This much, everyone is well aware of. That said, she is more than happy to let you join her… so long as you don't kick or thrash in your sleep. Much like Mavuika, Xilonen is incredibly warm, and she is oddly soft save for the pieces of her outfit that might poke you in the side if you lay wrong. Overall, cuddling with Xilonen is hardly any different than sleeping in a comfortable bed despite the fact that she tends to fall asleep anywhere, be that in a tree or on a sunny patch of grass. The two of you are quite likely to end up with your limbs all tangled, pressed against one another securely with little intention of separating. If you so much as try to leave, Xilonen will usually just clutch you tighter in her unconsciousness. Additionally, her tail tends to sneak its way around your waist or leg, even though Xilonen seems entirely unaware of the fact that it happens. Her chest also, strangely, seems to rumble a soothing hum when she's curled up asleep with you…
Lauma is never opposed to holding you. She enjoys her time to herself, of course, but… Well. She's a woman known for her strength and guiding kindness, both as fierce and as gentle as a ray of moonlight—naturally, if someone dear to her wants to be held or just wants to be close in their most vulnerable state, why would she ever say no? It's simply beyond her to deny you something so simple and so sweet. Her hands are always gentle (though, they are a little rough due to the abundance of scars littering her palms) when they hold you, calmly stroking the hair out of your face and rubbing your back until you drift off in her arms. She'll listen intently if you want to talk until you nod off. Of course she will. However, she typically won't talk much herself, especially if you're inquiring about the things that trouble her in hushed whispers when the two of you are curled up together. She'll open up slowly, but it takes time and patience. Aside from that, she's always extremely conscious of herself to ensure that she doesn't bump you with her antlers. The last thing she wants is to hurt you, even if it's only a little bit. That said, she might bump you a bit when she begins to drift off herself, but it's easy to ignore when she looks so at peace next to you.
Columbina thinks the idea is endearing. You want to be that close to her in your most vulnerable of states? The inherent trust required for such a thing is… sweet. It's the sort of intimacy she never really got with the Fatui or with the Frostmoon Scions way back when she left Nod-Krai in the first place. She herself is one to sleep when she needs to regain energy, so she doesn't mind too much if you'd like to join her once the two of you are closer. She'll lay her head on your shoulder and drift off to the sound of your breathing or your voice. She likes to hear you talk, whether it's about your experiences or simply your day. She wants to hear your thoughts and opinions and ideas… which really isn't very conducive to sleep, but it's alright. She doesn't mind if it turns into an engaged conversation instead of a nap like it was originally meant to be. Sometimes, she prefers to simply sit under the cool moonlight and guide your head into her lap, singing you to sleep as she threads her nimble fingers through your hair and pulls the tangles apart gently. She might tell you stories upon occasion, too. She's interestingly vocal, for such a mysterious person.
Dehya is more used to guarding you in your sleep than she is actually cuddling with you. It's her job, after all. That said, Dehya definitely isn't opposed. She's merely a bit more on edge than the average person since her entire career revolves around protecting her clients. You aren't a client, however. Perhaps that just makes her want to protect you even more. You're one of her loved ones—not someone who hired her as a bodyguard. Your bond with her extends so far beyond the simple "bond" between a guard and that which they are meant to protect. Dehya compromises to the best of her ability: she lets you curl up against her side while she stays alert, precise gaze piercing the night so that you may rest undisturbed. She's very warm, so the frigid cold of the night doesn't so much as graze your skin, and one of her arms is always secured over or around you. She tends to subconsciously but gently nevertheless drag her nails across your back.
Sandrone scoffs when you bring up the idea. She actually scoffs. Why would she—ugh—cuddle with you?! Gross. She doesn't even need to sleep, so why would she waste her time doing something like that? She has so many better things to do! What a ridiculous idea. Of course, she doesn't address the fact that she lets you stay in her general vicinity as long as you'd like and as often as you'd like. Naturally, she doesn't address the fact that she's recently added a small, very comfortable and quite expensive sofa in her offices and labs for you to lounge and nap upon whenever you'd like. She certainly will not be addressing the fact that she's taken to making soothing blends of tea when you show up looking tired, either… but the fact of the matter remains that she has indeed done all of these things. She still won't cuddle with you, but she's created a soothing and safe space for you to fall asleep in. She tends to quietly observe you when you sleep, watching the rise and fall of your chest with such intention and dedication that she must not get caught under any circumstance, lest one of her subordinates think that she's gone soft. Every now and then, she'll even sit next to you, letting her fingertips ghost over your temple before withdrawing. It's almost like you're the most precious thing on Teyvat to Sandrone, but that's… ridiculous. Obviously. Don't let the fact that you have a Fatui Harbinger on your side go to your head.
Xianyun, otherwise known as Cloud Retainer, is actually quite used to the idea. She has raised and nurtured many different disciples, after all. Some were clingy while others were less so. Therefore, it wouldn't be the first time someone has made such a request of her. She'll gladly indulge you. That said, be mindful—Xianyun is a talker. She'll speak to you about anything and everything, and usually it'll be about mechanics or something different that you have little grasp upon. Her voice is quite calming, however, and after so many years, she's learned to keep her voice a little soft and quiet as to not disturb you in your rest. In her adeptus form, she likes to tuck you under her wing while you rest, curled into her feathers. In her more human form, she doesn't mind keeping you pressed against her chest or her side. Whatever you prefer. Sometimes she'll meditate while you sleep. Other times, she'll fiddle with her newest project as long as her hands are free, sparing the occasional glance at your sleeping face. Other sorts of worldly attachments, as she calls them, are not her greatest concern… but her bonds are special. Sacred. You, her daughters, her disciples—she would spare no effort to guarantee the joy and peace of those she loves. If sleeping against her brings you comfort, so be it. She doesn't mind.

thank you ❤️
HI HELLO!!!!!!! i'm so glad you think so hehe, that's my entire goal with this blog... always looking to provide a nice sort of break from what we usually see in the reader insert community <3
A concept in which Sandrone finds herself with a company in her lab. Maybe this is the end of her solitude.
Pairing: PLATONIC! Sandrone x GNReader
w.c: 462
tw: -
a/n: I love Sandrone so much. This is just a short concept to an idea I plan to explore more.
Please consider liking, commenting or rebloguing to support the writer if you enjoy it!! ^^
Sandrone's main workshop isn't a suitable place for children. Formulas scattered through the walls, the ever so present smell of oil and gas, and the amount of deadly prototypes she keeps stored. Definitely not a place for children — adopting random orphans from the streets was Arlecchino's business, not hers (although she wouldn't mind a visit or two from them for tea).
So when a tiny person knocked on her door in the middle of the night, having been given her (presumably secret) address, with a pile of papers and too many ideas to fill them, Sandrone saw herself with no choice but to let them in. Just for a night, only so that the child wouldn't be left alone and she'd be able to go ahead with a clean conscience.
Well, that was the initial plan: to stay unattached. It didn't go exactly as predicted — Not only did Sandrone take in this random kid, she also let them in and out her workshop as if it was also their place with the pretext of needing someone to take care of things while she was away on business.
The Marionette knew talent when she saw it, and was no idiot to let it pass by unnoticed. Of course, their projects weren't perfect, nor incredible as hers. However, with a little improvement here and there and some observation, they could soon succeed in creations that neared hers in quality.
And that's how The Seventh got an apprentice.
“You made tea? That's… odd.” Sandrone brought the pitch black beverage to her nose, smelling. “Is that… machine oil?!”
She turned around to [name], gawking at the child in pure disbelief. As a Harbinger, she'd seen many kinds of poisoning methods such as plants and mixtures — but machine oil? That was a new one even for her.
Was [Name] plotting to murder her? No, they wouldn't be stupid enough to think she wouldn't notice the smell, when it's a daily thing for someone who works with such engines.
“What's the problem?" They tilted their head innocently, taking small steps towards Pulonia and carefully handing the robot a cup of tea. “Pulonia seems to enjoy it."
“That’s because Pulonia is a robot, I'm not! There's a clear difference between us!” Sandrone took a deep breath, standing up and placing the cup on the table. Take back everything she said about [name] not being stupid —they were a little.
“Did you happen to hit your head again or something?” she clicked her tongue, muttering, “unbelieveable.”
Sandrone was about to roll her eyes when their soft laugh reached her ears. She turned around, giving them that angry look — [name] had learned by now that it was never that serious.
i miss writing very narrative driven platonic ff, specifically about the house of the hearth, sooooo much... really working on getting back into it i promise 🙏🙏🙏
