A few recent still life shots.
How your first date would go - Xiao, Kaedehara Kazuha and Thoma
A/N: Helloo, lol this is the first time in I think 1-2 years I posted again but I haven’t had time recently, sorry about that but this post is about how your first date would go with Xiao, Kaedehara Kazuha and Thoma. I hope you guys like it. Feel free to ask for other characters I haven’t done, I will be mostly focusing on genshin impact but if you want another anime you can request it but I can’t guarantee I’ll do it due to my limited watched animes lol.

Xiao
Xiao had invited you out to see the Liyue lantern rite festival, you were quite shocked when he asked you out since he isn’t into romantic and social things. So when he asked you to see it you were quite excited and happy since this was the first time you would get to spend time with him and see the lantern rite (something he enjoys to watch alone) with him.
You had gone to the meeting point which was at the hill above Liyue harbor, you could practically see everything in Liyue harbor, it was a sight to behold. The lanterns began ascending to the sky though Xiao wasn’t anywhere near sight. ‘‘Xiao…’’ you called out for Xiao hoping he would come.
A few moments passed before you saw a lantern, a lantern which was different from the others, you looked closer into it and saw pictures of the two of you in it. As soon as you saw the lantern you saw a shadow walking towards you.
You turned and saw him, you immediately kissed his cheek and whispered these words to him ‘‘thank you, this was the best lantern rite of my life.’’ You two watched the lanterns ascending whilst hugging each other.
Kaedehara Kazuha
You were quite busy in Inazuma helping Raiden see the new Inazuma and saving her so that you barely had time to hang out with Kaedehara Kazuha. You asked him to come to Inazuma but he was too scared to step foot in that nation. He felt bad so he asked you to come to Liyue since he had a surprise for you.
You were curious as to what Kaedehara Kazuha had prepared for you and couldn’t wait so you called Kaedehara Kazuha and asked him what he planned for you. He replied with ‘‘Just get here and see it for yourself.’’
1 week later…
You were finally on the crux and ready to sail back to Liyue. As soon as you reached Liyue you called Kaedehara Kazuha and told him you got to Liyue and he told you to go to Guyun Stone Forest at 18:00.
You took your waverider to Guyun Stone Forest and saw Kaedehara Kazuha there waiting for you. ‘‘Kaedehara Kazuhaaa I’m so happy to finally see you.’’ He replied with ‘‘Glad you're here, now for the surprise look ahead.’’ You turned your head upwards and saw the sun setting.
It was certainly something you didn’t get to see in Inazuma and made you not want this moment to end.
Thoma
Thoma asked you to meet him at the Komore Teahouse saying he had a surprise for you. He had been so busy working for Kamisato Ayato that he didn’t want him spending time on you and instead used that for resting but he insisted on planning a surprise for you since you had been busy in the Chasm.
You had sailed back to Inazuma and head to the Komore Teahouse, part of you didn’t want Thoma wasting time on you but the other part was curious to see what he had prepared
As you entered the scent coming from the kitchen reminded you of Monstadt and how much you missed it there. ‘‘Good morning y/n’’ said Thoma in a cheerful voice. ‘‘Good morning Thoma.’’ you said simultaneously walking to him. As you walked up to him you saw he was making your favourite pancakes and hashbrowns.
He remembered your favourite dishes… You hugged him kissing his cheek whispering ‘‘you remembered.’’He answered with ‘‘of course I remember, how could I forget.’’ Before he kissed your lips, breaking the kiss he said ‘‘I missed you so much, I’m glad you came back.’’ and then continued kissing you.

Just look at their smug smiles
Legend has it that the Geo Archon once carved a giant polearm out of the rocky land. He plunged it deep into the ocean, riding it straight through the body of the demon that wrought chaos upon his domain. Over the years, the wind gradually eroded the stone polearm into the form we see today.

Mysteries and Mistakes
Chapter 1: Guyun Stone Forest- Journey
A/N: Sorry for this chapter’s being up so late- I was busy with schoolwork all week. I’ve also recently been quarantined, and that’s quite the Time. I need you to know, though, that I traveled from the Wangshu Inn to Guyun Stone Forest without any waypoints in-game to see how long it would take and what I ran into. I really liked writing this one, though, and I hope you enjoy reading it! If you wish to be added to the taglist for this fic, please send an ask or DM me!
Pairing: Aether/Gn and mute!reader
Warnings: Aether gets hurt so a mention of a cut but it doesn’t really go into detail- otherwise, it’s just a lot of fluff
Prompt: You begin your journey to the Guyun Stone Forest, and get to know your teammate better along the way.
Requested by: @its-sexy-beastington-to-you
Of course, Paimon insisted that the group cook first. It made sense- there was always a risk of monsters, especially at Guyun Stone Forest.
Aether was actually a really good cook, which was not entirely unexpected.
Adventurers had to be.
The next few days were allotted entirely to travel, which you presumed would be a bit awkward. You didn’t really know your companion, and you weren’t sure how he passed the time traveling.
You managed to find out pretty quickly when the two of you were ambushed by hilichurls near a ruin. You fought them off pretty quickly, but Aether ran into the adjacent camp.
“So they don’t come for us too.” He explained.
You simply stared at him, and then ran over to help him out.
You had exceptional archery skills, and managed to hit explosive barrels and take down most of them first. He took care of the rest, but you did have to hit one off a pillar at one point.
By the time you finished, it was nightfall and the two of you set up camp at the ruin, which was quite close to Luhua Pool.
Dinner was bolognese, though you really didn’t understand why Aether thought it was a good idea to bring pasta. It wasn’t exactly easy to transport or clean up.
He claimed it was because it helped with healing.
“It’s tasty, and that’s all that really matters to Paimon!” The pixie added.
You just shrugged and thanked him.
The two of you ate in silence. Paimon was floating around, foraging, having finished her food long ago.
You were helping Aether with dishes when he finally spoke. “So… what brought you to adventuring?”
You looked up at him, not expecting him to speak. Drying your hands on your shirt, you grabbed your notebook and pen and began to write.
The wild doesn’t judge me. It just answers my questions.
You didn’t elaborate. What about you?
“I’m trying to find my sister. We were separated on our way here.”
Fascinating. Do you have any clues yet?
He chuckled sadly. “I know one thing. She’s not here.”
You put a comforting hand on his shoulder, and he smiled at you. It was a different smile. A softer one.
“Sweet Lumine… She was always so good at everything. And she was always by my side. She helped me see reason.” He sighed and glanced down, before looking back up to you again. “We got separated while traveling. I miss her.”
I hope you find her.
“Thanks. I hope you can find answers to the questions you can’t ask the wild.”
Thanks.
You settled comfortably next to him, and he didn’t seem to notice the close proximity.
“I hope we can still be friends after this whole… research thing.” Aether fell silent a moment. “Hey! Maybe you can join my adventure team!”
You grinned.
Maybe.
Generally, you might not have made that call. Communication was generally annoying in teams for you, since you always had to write and couldn’t always get your teammates’ attention.
But something about Aether drew you in. There was something about him that made you think you didn’t want to see him disappointed.
You arrived at the Guyun Stone Forest that night, having had quite an uneventful journey from then on.
And then the Fatui skirmisher came.
The two of you worked hard to defeat it and found a safe place to camp for the night, but Aether had received a large gash on his arm.
You dragged him to the spot, ignoring his insistence that he was fine.
You pulled his arm to yourself, gently washing the wound with a rag and water from your own drinking water while Paimon sanitized nearby water for later consumption.
You didn’t try and communicate with him, though you sometimes gestured to Paimon to ask for help with certain things. Aether eventually stopped trying to protest, and just watched you.
The feel of your gentle touch was a great comfort, especially to a painful wound. He didn’t realize he was staring at you, but his gaze was soft as he admired your precision. The way your eyes sharpened and focused and the way your concern had turned to determination drew his attention, and he found himself unable to look away.
Soon he found himself admiring your more outward features- your eyelashes and nose shape and the way the firelight flitted about your face. He was remarkably entranced, and suddenly felt nothing more than weightlessness. The world was just the two of you, and his troubles were forgotten for just a second.
But only for that one second.
