Durin's Letter || New Everyday Life In Mondstadt

[viyoon]

long time ago...

feeling nostalgic 🙂‍↕️

[originalgenshinscenarios]

Second part of me being self indulgent! This time with guys!

This is kinda fun to do so if you'd like something like this with a character you like inbox is always open!

How would they act when they're in love? (Kaeya, Baizhu, Itto, Alhaitham, Ifa)

Reader is: gender neutral

Kaeya

A constant contradiction.

There is a lot he had to unpack. Maybe a little bit too much. It was overwhelming to a point where he suspected that he had it bad for you, more so than he thought.

You were close, that was for sure. He trusted you more than himself sometimes. Whatever was between you two felt far more vulnerable than he was comfortable with.

One thing you can expect for certain is that he's going to pretend a lot. Pretend he doesn't care, pretend he's not taking you seriously. Just anything to not allow himself get too attached.

He'd joke around, acting like a dramatic lover. Declaring how much he had missed you even if you talked an hour ago. Another times he'd find himself jealous whenever someone was getting too close to you- but he knew not to cause a scene.

Yet he'd distance himself from you. Despite yearning for you he didn't exactly indulge the thought of you being actually close. He wasn't sure what was holding him back. Maybe the voice in the back of his head telling him that you're better off without him, or maybe something else he wasn't aware of.

Still, no matter the nature of your relationship you made him happy. So even if sometimes he acted odd at the end of the day you felt how much he cared.

He always paid great attention to everything you said and some of his small gestures were incredibly romantic, but he'd purposefully ruin the moment when he'd be losing his ground and falling for you even deeper. Not until he was sure he'd be right to chase after it all.

Baizhu

Making excuses to see you.

Baizhu was never one to focus too much on relationships. He was constantly busy so it made sense he didn't search for a partner.

Lucky- or unlucky depending on how you look at it- for him, you found him first. And you were a constant reminder that he does actually crave a bit of romance every once in a while.

With his teasing nature your casual conversations were mixed with slight comments that were awfully easy to overlook. That was just how he wanted to play it. He got some thoughts out of his system and that was enough to share his affections, for now.

When you're away he sometimes he wonders how your day went, sometimes though when his mind was still at work mode he wondered if you were in good health and thinking if he should check on you when he has time.

Soon he found himself turning those thoughts into reality. Not often enough that he wasn't at the pharmacy when he was needed, but he would often excuse small visits.

Slowly it looked like he was nagging... But at some point his excuses were so ridiculous you knew that he just wanted to spend time with you so you enabled that to some degree. He made sure to respect the boundaries you've set.

This whole situation was ridiculous to Changsheng and the second you were out of earshot she'd complain about whatever you two had going on. Pointing out everything he said and explaining to him in detail how him thinking you'd fall for any of these lies were a direct insult to your intelligence- he laughed her complaints off and moved on like she hasn't spoken a word.

Itto

His brain is the last to catch up...

Itto never gave much thought to what exactly he thinks about you. When you met things just clicked and he didn't question how great you'd get along.

Relationship with you- as a great buddy of course- just felt natural. So it wasn't any weird that he felt like time with you was ever so more special.

It also wasn't weird at all that he wanted to impress you, nor that every time you needed help he'd move the mountains if you needed it- he'd do it for all his friends!

His heart raced when you called him cool, he couldn't stand being away from you, and when your hand did as like as brush against his, it felt like his face was at a competition with his horns as to what's more red.

What it would get for him to notice... Was if he got teased by the boys about his obvious crushing. Without thinking he'd confirm it, cause why wouldn't he love someone so great!?

And that flustered moment was when everything clicked. After his realization he felt like everything suddenly started making sense.

From that point on he'd instead try to figure out a great grand gesture he could do for you to express his feelings. But while he was thinking about it he changed the tracks a little and thought more what YOU would like, not what he feels like would be cool to do for the sake of it.

Alhaitham

It's a natural part of human experience.

He never thought much about romance. It wasn't like he was completely uninterested, but he always knew he wasn't going to chase looking for it like some people might.

His happiness never depended on wether or not someone would return his affections, thought of being rejected wasn't something he was afraid of either.

Although... Some of his views on the matter changed once he slowly started to realize that he might be interested in you. He definitely would be disappointed if you were not to return his feelings, but it wouldn't be the end of the world either.

Looking forward to spending time with anyone wasn't something he'd expect to be feeling so strongly. Luckily the new development was hardly a nuisance to him.

He had plenty of free time, so adjusting his schedule to yours was reasonable. Even just to share a quick meal together, or a small conversation about your day.

Usually he found smalltalk bothersome, but it coming from you felt more interesting. Probably because the topics you chose were usually of his interest as well.

Yet in the end he didn't make big deal out of his feelings for you. To him it was a simple case of asking you out officially. Time or place didn't matter to him as much as the message he had, so he wouldn't be wasting much time before making his move even if it would lack romantic atmosphere.

Ifa

A recharge he desperately needed.

Ever since the war came to an end, his workload sure was doubled, sometimes feels like it tripled even. As a caring friend, you checked on him everyday. Sometimes bringing him some food or snacks, and other times just offering some human company (no offense to Cacucu).

He wasn't much the kind of person to neglect himself like that. But after everything that happened he just wanted to make sure people and saurians don't grin and bear it. So of course he couldn't ignore those in need.

You lost the count of how many times you heard "You're a lifesaver bro" or something among those lines. It was true too, you were his hero every day.

Okay... Maybe it was more than that. He knew that he liked you. With the way Cacucu sometimes was laughing he suspected his saurian companion knew too.

So he wouldn't be surprised if you knew too. He wasn't ashamed of it so it's not like he'd freak out. Okay, maybe a little bit. But that's because you're a great bro-

And here was his main issue. He'd normally approach you and maybe ask you out but he wanted to avoid calling you in that dude-bro language in that context.

In the end he would be sometimes a little awkward around you, but that would be just because he'd try to get these words out of his vocabulary when addressing you. So each time he called you that way, he decided to let his confession wait for a better day...

Like it or not you have to acknowledge that Jean diluc Eula and kaeya grew up with money

Diluc’s family basically invented wine and has been holding up their countries economy

Kaeya father is the regent of khaenriah and is part of a noble house.

Jean is part of another noble family that has been in charge of mondstadt before mondstadt was a thing.

Eula although the household was disgraced was taught how to be a proper noble

Kaeya knows the difference between a normal fork and a salad fork. Diluc knows how to waltz. Eula has a pair of shoes worth more then someone life. Jean has 15 different noble titles.

I saw all of this to say they should all be thrown into some messy politically important dinner party.

Diluc tries to blend in with the drapes only to have the spot light shine directly on him while the event is training the sponsors of the event. Ninnguag is trying to talk trade deals with him while he’s trying to guesstimate if he could jump out that window and escape this party.

Kaeya immdently goes into the middle of the room to begin conversation where he actively looks for any sign of weakness. So that he as the good heir he is, dispatch the potential threat with his words. The acting grand sage is not challenge your families claim to the throne he’s just making small talk

Eula the pulls anyone around her into a period piece where they play the groveling noble asking for the help of the powerful queen. One conversation later and they are shaking in their way to expensive suits.

Jean doing her best to presser mondstadt image while diluc is about to tear a new one into a Pulcinella, Eula is about to get the guards to execute someone for staring at her wrong, and kaeya is about to pull the verbal rug out from under someone.

the 'evil imposter' just wants to be a baker!

Prologue: The Foodie turned Imposter?!

Part 12: Poisonous Devotion

[ part 11 ] || [ masterlist ] || [ part 13 ]

divider is made by @/saradika-graphics

Of course, despite getting Andrius' approval over your decisions (not that it would have matter since you are an independent baddie 😤) but you couldn't just very well walk up to Mondstadt despite the lack of guards there at the moment.

It was decided that you'd stay for a few days in Dawn Winery, the three of you had already left wolvendom, with Andrius making a promise to tell Razor where you had gone to.

You had moved quickly after finishing your meal, heading to the winery in the blanket of darkness. Most of the maids would have been asleep, as well as the workers. All except for Adelinde who had been waiting for the two brothers to return.

The woman was surprised to see you, though she made no move to comment on your arrival, trusting the decision of the two men who had brought you there. Which led your further planning to take place in Diluc's study.

"Based on the pace the knights are going, there will be an opening for us to sneak you in when they have finished replenishing their resources at the city." Kaeya instructed, unwrapping a map of the city on Diluc's office desk.

"The more worrisome factor is the Fatui. They didn't share their personal itineraries and plans with the knights after all."

Diluc waved his hand "Leave that to me."

You and Kaeya glanced at each other, knowing what he was hinting at.

On your part, all you had to do, to their knowledge, was to be discrete, keep yourself on the down-low and lay low. Do not capture anyone's attention.

"I'll make arrangements for you to stay at the attic, unbothered by the workers." Diluc told you and you nodded, grateful for the man's willingness to hear you out. You gulped, hand massaging your neck, uneasy. Should you make even one mistake, would he cut you down without hesitation.

One mistake.. one mistake could cause you your life.

"[name]"

you snapped your head up, eyes turning to Kaeya who was focused on the map, hand on his chin with a thoughtful expression "perhaps you should turn in for the night." he suggested.

"You won't be of any help if you're tired after all." Although his words were sharp, it contrasted the soft voice he had used.

"Apologies." you bowed your head meekly "I'm sorry for all the trouble and burden I have placed upon you, and of Mondstadt." despite the situation you tried to smile.

"Madam Adelinde?" The blonde haired maid turned to find the younger workers approaching her cautiously. "Yes? What seems to be the problem?"

One of the younger girls, new hires for the winery twiddled their thumbs "Could there be a ghost in the winery..?"

"huh? What makes you say that?" she asked hands on her hip at the odd questions.

"It's just that! It looks like someone had used the bathroom at night. . and the food from the kitchen has been taken!" One argued. "Doesn't that sound more like a thief than a ghost?" A different maid argued, clearly having different theories on the matter.

"Think about it, would anyone even steal from Master Diluc!" they argued amongst themselves. "You know, it could very well just be a wild animal stealing from the pantry."

"How does that explain that bathroom though?"

"People go to the bathroom at night, geez Brenda get over it!"

They stopped, hearing the sound of someone clapping "Ladies!" Adelinde began to scold them "That attitude and gossip is not tolerated in this household. I will speak to Master Diluc about your concerns, but rest assured if it was a robber or a ghost, the master would have done something already by now."

She had finished by telling them to focus on their own job. Sighing the woman began to focus on her own tasks, hands rearranging the floral arrangements inside the winery.

'Well, I very well can't say that we are housing the supposed imposter. .' her shoulders sank as she felt extremely stressed. She herself was the one that helped you adjust to the bathroom, her fingers traced the smooth petals of the rose, its charming scent did nothing to ease the tension in her stomach.

She couldn't forget what she had saw.

She didn't mean to, it was intentional really! and definitely improper for a maid. She had intended to leave you to your own privacy however just as she was about to close the door, she saw it.

Those hauntingly beautiful scars, glowing, pulsing with wild electro energy.

'I heard that she got attacked by the librarian but. .' Scars like that, of those degrees were life-threatening, and of course, you'd only be able to obtain them from a person with no mercy.

"What has the world come to" she mourned for the past Mondstadt, when had things start to become so. . bleak and dark here in the nation of freedom?

Did it start with Stormterror? or was it with your appearance in such a misfortunate timing?

No, she shook her head, it wasn't your fault.

The blonde haired maid winced, finger bleeding having been pricked by a thorn.

You stood by the bed that had been given to you, alone in the room. You felt content, being by yourself as you thought about everything that happened. It had been awhile since your last session of thinking how screwed you were right now.

Usually isekai animes and stories had the main characters overpowered and happy. You were neither.

You massaged your face, that sounded wrong and almost rude. . in a way you were happy, well you had to be, you had to be happy in a glass-half-full mentality. You were happy to have allies, people who listened to you, thought it felt kind of weird considering you knew them first, intimately, as playable characters rather than a real person.

Still, you liked to think you had adjusted quite well for someone like you.

The only power or skill you had, that you were quite confident in, was in your cooking skills. Your knowledge of recipes from your old world. It had been awhile since you cooked a proper meal though, one where the ingredients weren't improvised or foraged.

Licking your lips you sighed as you plopped down onto the bed, ignoring the tingling sensations of your wounds, courtesy of Lisa.

Perhaps you had gotten used to the pain or the effects were wearing off, but it didn't hurt as much as before unless your wounds touched water. You were probably just getting used to it, considering how the glow never faded.

Pulling up the sleeves of your clothes you stared at your unwrapped arms, it looked like your skin cracked open revealing some sort of magical energy beneath it. Your arm no longer bled, in its place were vibrant purple scars, fizzing with energy, glowing as bright as how you first got it.

Lisa's powers, or maybe it was the Electro element in general but whatever- the element seemed to engraved itself into your skin, woven into your body, hurting you every now and then.

The element was still there, reacting when it touches with another element. With hydro (whenever you washed your body or bathed) you were in pain from electro-charged. After the first experience? you began to bandage it, you didn't want to know what would happen if fire grazed your skin or if dust and dirt got in it, would it make crystals?

You shivered at the thought as you flipped on your stomach, burying your face into the pillow as you groaned into it, letting out your frustrations in muffled noises.

Things were starting to feel suffocating and boring, perhaps this was the real reason why Diluc and Kaeya readily agreed to your plan of staying in Angel's share, right now was probably the assessment of whether you can handle the pressure.

Sitting up, you thought about it for a bit before looking around the room. Although this was technically the attic, there was a bedroom here (rather convenient and odd but you decided not to question it), there were a few more rooms in the hallway, as long as you didn't go down the ladder or the stairway (not that it would matter since both were locked) you'd be safe, Adelinde assured you herself and Diluc didn't say anything about not doing it so. .

'I wonder if they hid their baby pictures here. .' You smiled as you decided to go exploring.

And you were correct, most of the rooms in the attic were storage rooms. Boxes layered in dust, Books hidden away among the shelves, trinkets, antiques and ornaments only brought out for special occasions.

You stirred clear from the rooms that hadn't seen the light of day, as evident by the thick layers of dust that had been accumulated. It seemed like the room with all the books had been recently used or at least cleaned and maintained which meant it was safe for you to touch and move about.

Fortunately it seemed like you can understand the texts and languages used in the books, "Lets see, history, geography. . most of these are boring- what did I even expect?" A couple of the shelves alone were reserved for business and economics focused books.

"Oh!" your hand stopped at a particular spine, pulling the book out you read the complete book title. "Wine fertilization techniques." you read aloud before staring at the rest of the books on that particular shapes, books about different varieties of grapes, different wines, other fruits and vegetables you could make wine off.

Then you looked up at a shelf where it clearly stored more recent books, "Soda pop, juices, blends. . This must be Diluc's. Oh. ." You picked out another book, Edible plants of Teyvat."

Considering all you could do was read, that's what you decided to do. Siting on an armchair close, but not to close, to the window you began to read in ernest. Perhaps knowing more about the edible plants in Teyvat could give you new ideas on what dishes you could make and experiment!

Or even perhaps substitute for the recipes you did know back at home! There were a lot of ingredients at your disposal here in the winery (your shameless butt was kicking in at this point) anyways!

Hopefully Diluc didn't mind you rummaging through their books!

Our cavalry captain found himself back at the city, walking to his office. On his way he had passed Bennett near the adventurer's guild. The boy nearly jumped when he had approached him.

"Hello Bennett" he smiled as the boy nervously greeted him "h-hello Captain Kaeya!" Bennett scratched the back of his neck, one would think he was bullying the poor boy with how nervous he was acting.

"Relax" he chuckled, hand patting the boy's head "I just came by to check up on you, thank you for searching Wolvendom with me last night."

The boy tilted his head confused, almost about to ask what he meant when Kaeya continued "It's nice to know that you youngsters also want to find the Imposter" Blinking, the boy slowly realized why Kaeya was acting so weird, who knows who might be listening in on them.

"you're welcome!" he forced a smile on his face as the man proceeded to ruffle his hair "make sure to say Razor my thanks okay!" "h-hey!"

"and also tell him that you two need to act like your searching for the imposter around wolvendom." he whispered after almost headbutting their heads close together.

"Well then, make sure you rest before your next adventure." He waved the boy off as he continued on his way to the headquarters. The building was quiet, most of the knights that remained looked like they hadn't slept for a few days with how dark their eyebags were.

Knights he had considered friends seemed lifeless, consumed by exhaustion. "You two look like you're on the brink of death." he commented on the two knights that guarded the entrance of the building.

"You should see Amber and the other knights, they've been running back and forth all around Galesong Hill" one of them said with a weak sigh. "Galesong hill? thats a large area inhabited by hilichurls and the like, not to mention that Amber is only leading 10 knights. That wouldn't be enough to search the whole area in just a few days." he worriedly voiced out.

The two knights looked at each other then at the man, "Captain, we heard you've been off to who knows where, ah! In the words of the acting grand master! So you probably didn't know that a few civilians were tasked to join them."

"Y-yeah! She's been very temperamental lately and been ordering the abled civilians to join the hunt, she also instructed amber to hold off on any breaks unless really needed. ." the knight whispered after staring at the empty hallways warily. "I heard even Amber is getting frustrated over things. ."

The search for the imposter was hard enough, but it seems that with Jean's reckless and impatient attitude was slowly bearing down on the people of Mondstadt if even Amber was getting frustrated.

"I see" he frowned, although he didn't approve of their actions in the witch hunt, but they were still the people he grew up with, grew up protecting and working with to protect the region. . "what about Lisa? I haven't heard anything about the librarian."

"She's been locked up in the library, I heard she's been experimenting on ways to find the Imposter, even had someone sent to get Chief Albedo and his students." They explained, not bothered by his questions.'"

"Albedo huh? he's still at Dragonspine isn't he?" Kaeya made a mental check to have Diluc and his allies intercept the knights. Should they get ahold of the Chief alchemist and even one of his students, it would prove difficult should they, and they will most likely succeed, in creating a gadget to find you.

"Yes, it seemed like news of the imposter hasn't reached them." that was no surprise, considering Dragonspine was a hard to reach area. "I see, I'll help find a way to get through to them." he assured the tired knights, taking out his wallet and giving them some mora "I'm sure Diluc hasn't closed Angel's share yet, so when you can, drop by and get yourselves some much needed drinks."

"T-thank you captain!" they practically cried out as the blue haired man headed to his personal office.

"Kaeya," the blue haired captain froze, having just entered his office, only to find that he wasn't the only one in there. From behind his desk stood Jean, her back turned to him as she stared outside the window "Where have you been off to?"

He remained silent as the woman continued "Surely you haven't been drinking your butt off despite knowing that an imposter has been dilly dallying all across Mondstadt doing who knows what?" "How insulting," he huffed, hands on his hips "I just got back after a long reconnaissance from wolvendom, Razor and Bennett can vouch for me."

Despite the beating on his chest, he tried to remain as passive as usual, playful even which was hard. He felt a quite rage and disgust fester in him towards the acting Grand Master, but really the majority of his feelings for respect towards the woman had turned to disappointment.

The blonde haired woman turned to face him, disheveled hair, bags under her wide eyes resembling that of a wild, angry beast. She slammed her hands down on his desk, some of his trinkets tipping over.

Still he stared at her, quietly as he waited for whatever reaction she would throw at him.

"It's not enough, the other soldiers and Amber had already scoured their assigned areas, not once or twice, but trice! You haven't even explored your assigned area, what have you been doing?!" She yelled, her once calm-headed demeanor, long gone.

"The creator would be disappointed in you!"

'Oh trust me Jean, the creator is far more disappointed in you.' "How could you let an imposter roam about, even if you didn't believe in the creator, you should show your respect and stop with your lazy attitude! This is serious Kaeya."

He exhaled "Listen to yourself Jean, look at our knights and the people, they- we" he caught himself, almost slipping at his words as he placed his hand on his chest "we want to catch the imposter too, as much as you do but at this point you're stretching them too thin!"

"I know!" she yelled, gritting her teeth before trying to relax, taking a deep breath as she began to chew on her nails "if only me and Lisa had killed that vermin, then we wouldn't have to worry if that imposter made it out alive.." Kaeya stopped, hearing her spat those words out.

"Maybe then. . maybe then the creator would finally look at me." she wistfully said to herself. Hysteria seemed to take over the woman. "Ugh if only we had killed her! then again" she smiled to herself "she wouldn't have gone that far with her injuries. ."

Where had the responsible and devoted knight disappeared to?

There she was, replaced with a crazy one, drunk on devotion and insecurities. She didn't even regret what she did to you, or even at least seemed serious and respectful. There she was, laughing over the damage they had done to you, even wishing they had finished you off that night.

He clenched his fists, "why won't you look at me oh most perfect divine" she clasped her hands together almost praying "must I torture that wretched copy cat for you who tried to besmirched your good name?"

That anger and disgust grew more and more as he listened to what seemed to be a shade of the once respected acting grand master. .

A part of him wanted to curse her, to ask on what basis did she have to say or decide what was best for the Creator? She may been been one of the few chosen but she was by far the least favored of them all, just like Lisa, just like amber, just like. . him.

As you can tell I'm building relationships between [name] and the more older characters, aka the bachelors and possible love interests (I can't do all cause it'd be hard to foster any romance between a lot of people). I'm thinking about one if not both the brothers, though I'm personally leaning to Kaeya for this one!

Though a part of me wants to just scrap the idea of romance here to make it more heart-warming, and for [name] to fit into the creator who, in this story, is referred or known as the mother of all.

or just have only one main love interest (Who'll be considered as the Father???) while the rest are just one-sided, hmmm, decisions decisions.
