What say you to a Chubby!MC?
Once again, this idea spawned during a chat with @arn9tails about exposing what chubby actually looks like to Genshin, and I thought, you know what? Screw it, let's do this.
Also, once again using @arn9tails lovely size difference Genshin au. Also using my bias, Zhongli once again. I love this old dragon man so much. ❤️
Warnings: OCness, cringe, some fat shaming and slurs. Zhongli being a little horny for Chubby!MC. A little Dark!Zhongli. Yandere!Zhongli?
Zhongli
Like many others who were avid gamers, Chubby!MC knew of Genshin Impact. How could she not? It was her comfort game.
From dealing with snide comments about her weight from both family and coworkers alike. To failing to find a boyfriend who tolerated her larger form, much less love her for herself.
Fat. Lardass. Whale. Pig. "Why can't you just lose weight like a normal woman?" or "What? Hungry again, piggy?", And so many cruel words flow through her head
At the very least, she had Genshin Impact. She could always fall back on this game and its characters to bring up her mood after a long day.
One certain character ALWAYS brought up her mood, no matter what.
Zhongli. The retired Geo Archon. Geo daddy, as many of his simps calls him. Chubby!MC, like many other Zhongli simps, adored this man.
She thought he was handsome, wise, strong, mysterious, and all around, a down-to-earth man.
He was her dream man... But alas, he was nothing but that. A dream. Something NOT real.
Besides, even IF he was real, why would he ever pay attention to someone of Chubby!MC's size? If anything, someone like Ningguang had better chance with a gorgeous body like hers...
Chubby!MC's mood goes down the drain then and she shuts off her computer, making a mental thought about going to the gym... again.
Maybe this time she wouldn't be scared off by the giggles or whispered insults from other gym goers...
But then something more important than going to the gym to lose weight happens.
7 very large land masses appeared all around the world. 7 very large and familiar land masses at that.
Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya. The 7 nations of Teyvat. Of Genshin Impact. They... They were real!
...And also apparently very, VERY big! From reports, the people- the Teyvatians as Genshin players had been calling them, were massive compared to an Earthling human!
Truthfully Chubby!MC didn't know how to react to the news. Genshin Impact was real now? The characters that brought her comfort were real. Zhongli... he was real?
That last thought made her heart skip a beat. Oh... He was real.
But that excitement fades as the reality hits that it didn't matter if he was real. He was still out of her reach, no matter what.
...Or at least that's what she originally thought.
Cut to a few months later, and news about a event in Chubby!MC's city was circling about.
Apparently it was a raffle, and winners could have the honor of going a grand party that would have the Archon's themselves attending.
And as for why they were even in Chubby!MC's nation, it was because of a political meeting between a large group of Earthling political powers
The party is supposed to be something of a moral boost thing. To bring the two races, the Teyvatians and Earthlings, closer together.
Chubby!MC honestly considered entering, but thought against it. She wouldn't be able to handle finding out she lost.
Soon enough, she hears there's only one invitation left. And she thinks, that's that. She lost her chance due to her second guessing herself.
However...
Chubby!MC sits in one of her workplace bathroom stalls, her hands shakily held a piece of paper as she stared down at it in shock.
The words said it all. Winner.
Rewinding to a bit earlier today, Chubby!MC was doing some work when an envelope was tossed on her desk and some obnoxious giggles come from the cubicles near her.
For context, some of the girls from her job won a spot at the party, and they were trying to rub it in her face by throwing what they thought was a dud raffle ticket at her.
Key word. Thought. Because the words on the paper clearly said Winner. Chubby!MC could go to the party!
She could see and maybe, just maybe, even meet Zhongli...
Cut to the day of the party, and Chubby!MC finds herself within a large sports stadium along with the other party goers.
Apparently it was being held here because of the Teyvatians, which makes sense considering their size.
"....Ugh, gross. Look at her..."
"Yeah. Who let a whale in here?"
"And in a dress like that?"
Chubby!MC flinches at the snide comments whispered behind her as she found herself alone on the field as the other Earthling party goers paired up with one another. More than one of them were throwing her rude looks or sneers.
Biting her lip, Chubby!MC glances down at her dress. It was rather modest in her eyes. A simple yellow (Geo yellow) dress that she thought was pretty and the kind store clerk that helped her picked it out said it show off her- not chubby, but curvy body nicely.
But of course, people had to be cruel...
She barely holds down the urge to sniffle as she slowly takes a sip of wine, noticing the people leering at her had suddenly gone pale and scurried away.
Of course, she does notice once a large shadow covers her form.
Blinking, she slowly glances up, and squeaks when she sees the familiar impish grin of the Ameno Archon, Venti.
"Well, well, well. What have we here? A lone Crystalfly among some noisy flies? And a yellow one at that..."
He squints at Chubby!MC, and his smile grows more playful as he lowers his hand to her, urging her to climb on.
"Why don't you come with me? I know someone who'd be very interest in meeting you, little Geo Crystalfly."
Chubby!MC barely has time to even breath before the Ameno Archon gently scoops her up and begins walking towards the other Archons who were just arriving as well.
"Hey, Blockhead! Look at what I found~"
Zhongli, who was talking to Ei, turned to Venti, and Chubby!MC's feels her heart skipped a beat as those intense but mysterious yellow golden eyes zeroed in on her.
He was just as inhumanely handsome as she imagined him being in real life...
Venti comes to a stop before the now still Geo Archon, the man still staring down at Chubby!MC. In an almost animal like fashion, he tilts his head slowly, and for a sec Chubby!MC thinks she saw draconic slits in his eyes before they disappeared.
"...And who is this, Barbatos?"
Venti does his signature 'eheh' before awkwardly saying he never got Chubby!MC's name.
"But isn't she pretty? A pretty little Geo Crystalfly!
Chubby!MC was pretty sure her round cheeks were glowing red from how embarrassed she was. She wasn't pretty! Ei is pretty! Mauvika is pretty! They were skinny and she wasn't-
"...Hm, I never thought I would agree with you on something like this, but yes, she is very pretty."
Zhongli's voice cuts Chubby!MC's negative thoughts, causing her to whip her head towards the Geo Archon in confusion. And her soul nearly leaves her body as he sees him smile at her.
Oh God this man-
And that's how Chubby!MC found herself suddenly surrounded by all seven Archon not even a few minutes later.
It was a surreal experience. Meeting characters she only knew from through her computer screen.
But meeting and having the chance to talk to them all, a magical experience.
But what beat all of that was the fact she was now being held by Zhongli after she was confiscated from the bard's hold.
His fingers were wrapped loosely around her plump form as he held her, gently squeezing.
The soft pudge of her smaller form squishing between his fingers, making her embarrassment spike along with something else...
Chubby!MC shivers, recalling how dangerous the fingers that were holding her so gently could be.
They were fingers of a being that was over 6000 years old. Fingers that held and built weapons, hurled spears at gods, shattered mountains, and built a whole nation.
And yet... They held her with such gentleness...
She tries to focus on the conversation between the Archons, ignoring the gawking Earthlings on the ground and the sounds of pictures being taken.
She could already see tomorrow's headlines. 'Overweight woman held by a real God' or something along the line...
Now a little afraid that her... her disgusting, fat presence could cause some backlash on the Archons, she quietly asks to be put down as she fights the urge to cry....
Zhongli refused to put her down, however.
Zhongli's fingers flex around her plump form, making her squeak at the unexpected gesture, and one large finger gently hooks under her chin, forcing Chubby!MC to look up at the Geo Archon.
Zhongli: "Why? Is something wrong, little Crystalfly?"
Ah, there he goes using that nickname Venti gave her! Why were they calling her that?! She wasn't pretty or dainty like a Crystalfly!
But after some more probing, this time some of the other Archons asking as well, Chubby!MC's fingers dig into her dress anxiously as she quietly tells the truth...
Telling that her 'fat' presence might cause issues, about the pictures being taken and the gossip.
Chubby!MC: "W-what was I thinking, coming to this event with a body like mine-"
She's cut off by Zhongli's large, gloved thumb covering her mouth, his face stern as he glanced over at the ever-curious Earthlings, most of which had begun to foolishly lose their fear.
And she caught some of their words... And tears immediately build up in her eyes.
"Wow, look at her. She looks like a fucking beach ball in his hands."
"Think she'd bounce if he tossed her?"
"Nah, fat bitch like her would definitely pop like a balloon!"
Oh, she was definitely crying now...
She also doesn't notice how Zhongli and the other Archons had stiffened at the cruel words thrown at her so callously.
Whimpering, Chubby!MC squirms more, pleading to be put down so she could run away from this mess.
But again. Zhongli would NOT put her down. Instead, to her horror, he turns and walks over to where those cruel words came from, his footsteps shaking the earth more than before.
Chubby!MC quietly mutters his name in confusion, but the massive God ignores her as his expression darkens.
The once snickering group of Earthlings immediately goes silent as Zhongli's silent form leers over them, expression still dark, and quite frankly, terrifying.
Zhongli: "...Apologize to her. Now."
Chubby!MC of course tries to defuse the situation by saying it was fine; she was more than used to comments like that.
That, as it would turn out, would be the wrong thing to say.
In front of all the earthlings in stadium, and even on national television itself, Zhongli declares to her he was going to take her back to Liyue.
...Was she seriously about to be kidnapped by her favorite character?
And the answer was yes, yes, she was as Chubby!MC finds herself being carried off by Zhongli, who goes to join the other Archons, and they leave for the set-up wave point nearby.
But she couldn't just let herself be taken! She had a life, a job-
Her panicked thoughts are cut off when Zhongli presses her closer to his chest, smushing her chubby cheek against his suit jacket.
He murmurs quiet promises of her being safe in Liyue. That she would never hear such disgusting things said about her body ever again. She would be treated well and with respect she deserved.
Zhongli: "From now on, you will be under my care, little Crystalfly."
And that... sounded awfully like a threat. A threat Chubby!MC should clearly be afraid of if she had any braincells...
However... was it selfish of her to want to be taken care of? To have someone not mock her for weight or force on diets that never work.
Was it selfish that she wanted genuine affection? Love?
And honestly... did she even have anything worth staying around here for?
Chubby!MC's job was awful. Her coworkers and boss even more so. Her family only probes her about losing weight and being pretty like her sisters so she could get married, and her love life was nonexistent.
So... Was anything truly her holding back from being taken to Liyue?
Realizing this, Chubby!MC stops struggling. She goes quiet as the Archons walked up to the wave point where, one by one, each Archon teleported back to their respected nations.
Venti was the last to go before them, and he cheekily asks for Chubby!MC to come and visit his nation once she settles in, even saying he'd loved to share some dandelion wine with her, before teleporting off with a laugh as Zhongli growls at him.
Chubby!MC hears Zhongli take a deep breath, calming himself before he too activates the wave point, and smiles down at her.
Zhongli: "Come along now, little Crystalfly. Liyue awaits us."
Zhongli's POV
Zhongli hadn't expected much from this 'party' the earthlings scrounged up. Especially since they made it a bigger fiasco than need be.
The other Archons agreed with him. So, together they agreed to go to the party.... But leave immediately afterwards and return to their nations after a couple of minutes.
Well, that was the plan. At least, until he hears Barbatos call out to him. "Hey Blockhead! Look at what I found~"
And in the bard's hands was probably the most endearing looking Earthling he's ever seen, looking up at him with wide, pretty eyes.
Her body was built differently than other Earthling women he's met so far, and that even included other Teyvatian women.
He was so used to slim built females, he never really considered ones with more meat on their bones... and honestly, it was lovely sight to behold.
A body that reminded him of a plump, juicy Sunsettia fruit. Thick in all the right places, and no doubt very, very soft and squishy.
And to wrap it all up in a pretty bow was the fact she was wearing HIS colors. A bright Geo Yellow dress...
So, it came to no surprise that he confiscated the soft earthling from the now smug looking Ameno Archon.
Zhongli honestly wanted to growl and swat that look off that face, but he had an image to hold up, so-
Oh... And it turns out the soft looking Earthling really was as soft and squishy as she looked.
He could barely hold down the urge to purr as carefully held the fragile being in his hands. She really was all pillowy softness in all the right places.
Truly a treasure he had been gifted with. Hm... he makes a mental note to remember to send some fresh Liyue wine to Barbatos for finding such a darling creature...
Because of this unexpected situation, Zhongli decided to stay longer at the party, if only to hold and be close to soft little Earthling in his hands...
To his displeasure, however, the other Archons seems to follow his lead, finding the soft, chubby earthling to be precious, and gently probe her with questions, flustering the poor dear.
And the urge to swat at Venti grows even stronger-
But then his attention is drawn back to his little Crystalfly. She was squirming in his hands, gently tapping his fingers to get his attention.
But truthfully, his eyes were glued in on her thick but soft looking thighs that flashes into view as the Earthling's dress hikes up unintentionally in her squirming.
His mouth suddenly feels dry and his fingers flex unintentionally, causing the plump Earthling to let out an adorable squeak.
Feeling her flesh, soft and full, spill over his fingers...
...He wondered how it would feel to have her sit on his fac-
A boney elbow quickly jams into his side. The culprit? Venti. The Ameno Archon hisses for him to "get his mind out of the gutter". A strange Earthling term but message received.
So, he politely asks what's wrong... and his opinion of Earthlings (baring, of course, Chubby!MC.) somehow, if possible, went even further down.
His little Crystalfly was ashamed of her weight, when in honesty, she should be praised for it.
Yet, from her words and body language alone, it was clear other Earthlings didn't share his view on beauty.
This made more apparent when Zhongli hears the quiet whispers and sneers of other Earthlings around him. All of whom was insulting his now crying Crystalfly.
All because of her weight.
And despite wanting to smite the disgusting Earthlings dust, his little Crystalfly showed kindness towards her harassers. Saying it was fine when it was obviously wasn't. And... And that she was used to it.
Used. To. It? She was used to this nonsense?!
No. No, this would not continue. If the Earthlings couldn't see this precious little thing's beauty... then he'll just take her back to Liyue with him.
And if the Earthlings decide to make a ruckus about it? Well... One does not poke a dragon or God and walk away in one piece...
