witch hat!hsr au where you constantly reapply that memory wiping spell, over and over on your beloved general, anything to push the mara away, to keep him whole and healthy until your hands shake, more callouses fill your fingers and he has no memory of your labors. And one night he finds out, because of course he does, nothing escapes the Divine Foresight’s gaze, and instead he chooses to wipe yours, to lessen his worries.
The worst part is that it works. He rids you of the memories of you wiping his, and it keeps the mara at bay, and the leaves and shoots are stamped down…. it’s in the “name of the law” he says, ignoring how your hands claw on his armor, begging him to not do this, to let you protect him. Oh foolish witch, he’d rather give himself up for your sake, let him perform one of the spells that border on the near taboo, and let you live in this fantasy he’s made…
(knights of moralis jy who doesn’t know his own lover is getting closer and closer to performing a taboo all for his sake, and in his heart of hearts, when he finds out he can’t bring himself to get mad)

Y/N was crying in her room . Her eyes puffy and red from hours of grieving for the lost of her childhood bestfriend,Veritas. Their photo, framed and decorated with love and care stood by the nightstand,staring back at her.
The food tasted bitter. Jealousy,anger,frustration churning in her belly. This week just wasn't it for her. The rain was pouring outside. Her apartment was dark. She lived alone afterall. As if to make things worse,she had caught bilateral pneumonia. A disease that was partying in her lungs,both of them.
She coughed hard as she spit phlegm into tissue paper,body wrecking with each cough. She felt so sick. Her body was aching from fever and sickness that plagued her. It was all a mess. Dizziness mixed with loss and memories of her bestfriend.
She remembered the summers they used to catch bettles,chase dragonflies and eat watermelon together. Y/N remembered the winters when they used to make a snowman together as kids. The rainy season when they drank coffee together in one cafe as teens. Now? There was nothing. Veritas had left her. The friend was broken. Why? Some dumb brunette decided to come in between.
Y/N had loved Veritas since forever. In childhood,she didn't have friends. Most kids found her weird or used to bully her. Veritas was different. He became her friend and he used to be with,helping her with homework and stuff she struggled with,which played a major part for her slipping hard into love.
Y/N had a type, okay? Nerdy,hot,tall,strong.Veritas checked all boxes of it. She had seen him build his empire as a ceo,the power and fame he had. She had seen him work day and night for all of it.
At present,she stared at the framed photo,both of them smiling. Y/N arm hung over Veritas' broad shoulder,Veritas' annoyed expression as the ice-cream fell. It made her cry even more. Her feelings for everyone,once bottled up,now finally being let out. Y/N hugging her pillow,let out a strangled cry. The pneumonia and loss was messing with her brain.
As the final tear slipped from her eye,she fell into a dreamless sleep. Her body trembling and aching from sicknes,trying to find warmth,curling under the blankets.
Flashback.
Monday,8AM,March 12th.
It was a busy day at Y/N flower shop. Y/N as a florist was water plants and making bouquets,taking orders. Humming her favorite melody,she finished a new order of Dahlia,waiting for it's rightful owner to come and grab it so she can charge them appropriately.
Suddenly,a ding. A notification. A message. Y/N opened her phone. Veritas had texted her?
Y/N stared the text message "I want to order". Why did he want to order a bouquet? It was unusual for him. Must be for a meeting since he's a ceo,right? Anxiety and doubt churned up in her stomach. Ignoring it,she went back to her work,taking orders.
Around 9:30,as promised,Veritas Ratio was finally here. He was dressed up in a elegant suit,muscles taut,the white crisp underneath,blazer ironed well,cologne that turned heads and hairstyle that match the overall dress up. The bell chimed as he entered,announcing his presence.
"Welcome!" Y/N greeted without turning back from the flora table. Ratio cleared his throat and Y/N looked back. "Oh hey Ver,you are on time" she said. "As said,I want to order a bouquet. I have a meeting. Are lilies available?",came the reply from him in his usual cold tone. "Yes ofcourse. Any specific colour you are looking for? Pink? Yellow? White? Orange?" She asked. "Make it White,please. Thanks Y/N" He said. "I gotchu" y/n giggled as she made her way towards the table for making bouquets.
Veritas sat on a nearby chair patiently,waiting for the order to be done. The silence between them was comfortable. Breaking it,Y/n chirped curiosly,"So,whats the meeting about? Anything special?" "Special? Yes. I..." Veritas paused,as if considering his next words. "I am going to ask out a woman" just as he said that,her heart stop. Thankfully,he couldn't see her hurt expression as her back was facing him. Forcing a cheerful laugh,she quiped,"A woman? Who is she? Must be a lucky one."
"Lucky? Quite indeed" He said. Taking a thoughtful pause,he continued,"The name's Regina. She's been my love interest for awhile".
Regina? Love interest? That thought...was laughable... Regina wasn't exactly known to be nice or friendly aswell. She had a knack for using men and dumping them after she got what she wanted. Sure,she was a pretty brunette,curly hair and beautiful face that made people fall head over heels. She used this beauty as her weapon and shield both. Used it to catch men like fishes in her fishnet.She wanted power,money and fame,everything that allowed her to become unstoppable. Y/N was sure of it.
Y/N and Regina were enemies since highschool,always at each other's throats. Regina had a tendency to steal Nika's stuff or anything that caught her interest. She used to spread lies about her,rumours that made no sense and the cherry on top? Everyone used to believe Regina. Why? She was the reporter of the school. Any indicent,any trouble was reported by her. Veritas never knew this because he didn't share the same highschool as her.
Also,how dare he love her?
It didn't make sense to her. Why her? Why Regina? What did Regina have that Y/N didn't? What was the reason?! Y/N was heartbroken. She maintained her voice stable,trying not to tremble or stutter,"Regina?" She questioned,again as if to confirm what she just heard. "Yes,Regina." He confirmed,not knowing that he unintentionally broke and damaged a heart.That moment,Y/N wanted to burst into tears and demand answers for this stupid so called decision he was making.
"You can't be serious..",Y/N started,"Why Regina?! Why? It would have anyone and you choose Regina?!" questioning his choice. "Wait,you know her? And why? What's wrong with Regina?" Veritas,confused,titled his head,curiosly. Maintaining a calm facade,Y/N stated,"Yes I do and what I see here is you are making a mistake choosing her. You don't know her. You don't realize what situation you are getting into. She's a liar,EVERYONE knows it. You can't be serious. You don't realize she's using you for power and fame. If things dont go her way,she might even try to do..." Y/N stopped there,she didn't want to finish the sentence.
Those statements made Veritas straighten. "What are you talking about Y/N? If you are making such statements,do you bear proof to support it?"He cross-examined. That made Y/N hesitate. She had proof but it was in her old phone. The one that had gone static over years for being used and dead by now.
The air in the florist shop was thick with tension,so thick it could be thick by a knife. The sweet scent of Roses,lilies and hydrangeas usually so potent felt dull. The usual florist shop that once felt like home felt like funeral shroud for for friendship. They have had arguments in past over silly topics,alot but this? This felt different. It HURT her more than she imagined. She never thought he was into Regina.
Taking a step towards him,she expressed her concern,"Veritas. Listen to me carefully. She doesn't see you the way a lover does. She sees a pedestal. You are being used and you don't realize it." Y/N's eyes searched for his emotions in his eyes but there was just refusal. Defiance. He didn't believe her an once. "Are you seriously going to believe her over me? The woman you met few months ago over your childhood besfriend?"
"You think this is love? You are wrong. She's a strategist. Not a partner. You are blindly handing keys of the empire you made to HER." Y/n stated,her voice angry with concern.. She wasnt wrong. Veritas was blinded by her glitter. The usual rational,thoughtful scholar absent as if glitter had blinded him to see the reality. It wounded her to see the usual Veritas which a rational and intelligent scholar to a loverboy who couldn't see the reality .
"You think you see the reality right now? She's thrown the glitter and illusion of love at you. You aren't seeing the world infront of you. Most people see what the person in love cannot see with whom they are in love with..You are acting like a fool,choosing her. When moment cameras stop flashing,she won't be by your side. Mark my words." She was about to continue but Veritas who had already grown angry on her questioning and trying hide to his annoyance finally snapped back,"There is a difference between you and me,Y/N. You worry about your flowers wilting while I keep improving my company." His voice echoed through the small shop,laced with annoyance.
The flowers as if sensing his harsh words,dulled even more. Veritas continued,"You see a predator,I see someone who matches my frequency. This company is my life's work and I need someone who helps me build it even further. She's intelligent,hard-working and she's proved it many times to me.". "And if she wants power? Fine. She gets it. She wants fame? I will buy her the world. Atleast she sees a version of me that demands respects." His voice lowered,seething with anger and something else,disdain maybe?
"You know,Y/N? The more I look at you and observe you,the more I realize why you never had friends besides me from your childhood. Why would anyone want a person in their life who can't see anything good for once in their life. You are out here,playing in dirt and with plants,struggling to live and play for you stuff while I can get what I want." He didn't let her interrupt him,cutting her off." You are lecturing me about her being a strategist? Look at you,Y/N. You have spent your entire life in this florist shop,never once outside. You have no one. No friends,no family,no one knows your middle name except me." His words stabbed her already broken heart even more.
Tears brimming up her eyes,she spoke,"Then where was this Regina when you were on you bedstruck? Where was this Regina when you were suffering from Junin virus? where was she when you were suffering alone in the dark. Did she comfort you? Was she there for you when you hospitalized for getting into an accident that almost cost your for life?.
Y/N was the one when Ratio was going through depression and episodes of illness. Not Regina,not no one. Regina never brought him meds or comforted him at the times when he needed people the most. Hell,she wasn't even in the same room as him. She didn't visit hospital he got hospitalized for getting into a tragic accident that almost cost his life. It was all done by Y/N.
There was slightest flicker of guilt in his eyes as he saw her wounded expression and heard her raspy voice but then it was gone as soon as it came. He didn't want to be here,watching her cry. "Stop trying to make me feel bad. You are acting like Regina took everything away from you.",he blurted.
How could Y/N ever tell him that Regina infact took everything away from her,everything she liked. Veritas,his voice low and filled with disdain and something else,seethed out,"You know what? I feel like she was right. I should have known. Regina was indirectly tell me to stay away from me. You know what she told me?" He asked,eyes narrowing filled with hatred and cold emotions for Y/N now. Y/N sensed the hatred radiating stuttered out a response,"W-what did she tell you?." The feeling of dread washed over her,she was sure it was going to wound her more than one wat. "That people like you — people who have nothing and no one will always cling to the successful ones like parasites. You call her a woman who uses people for power? Atleast she has an ambition and has guts to do something. Look at you,stuck in your little flower shop with barely any customers coming in. Guess staying with the poor will make you feel poor. The poor tends to drag out another poor to have a company"
Those words hit her like a train wreck. This wasn't the Veritas she knew. There was no ounce of guilt in his eyes for whatever he spoke. No flashes of the kid who ounce used to be nice to her in his eyes. "And since you are the only friend you have,you are about to see how quiet it gets in this shop real soon" He said,voice cold and emotionless.
He didn't have any business with her anymore. Cutting the ties of their childhood friend,he refused the bouquet. The door opened and was shut behind him as he left. The bell mocking his depart as he took long angry strides back to somewhere,possibly another shop. Tears filled trailed down y/n cheeks as she bursted crying. Her head aching and the hurtful words playing again and again like a broken record in her mind.
Back to present,Y/N remained asleep,body hot from fever and neglect. She had forgot to her meds. She remained asleep as the rain continued to pour down harshly,adding to the grim atmosphere. The apartment was silent,grey and dull. The sleep was dreamless but Nika didn't wake. Body tired from coughing and fever.
Comments,likes and reblogs are appreciated. Do not feed/copy/plagiarize my work to ai or I shoot you.
hi! just trying to look for a fic i've read before...
does anybody know the author for a multicharacter hsr angst headcanon/fic that ends with fluff wherein the characters (i only remember sunday at aventurine being in that fic but i swear there were more characters) were being pursued by the reader and at first they couldnt understand their feelings so they end up pushing the reader away, and when the reader did distance themself, they realized that they actually like them back and end up confessing (it had a happy ending!)
more things i remember abt it was that the reader on sunday's part liked to give sunday trinkets like jewelry(?) if i remember correctly, and the reason why sunday pushed the reader away was because of his trust issues or smth,,
and when aventurine pushed reader away he got jealous becauser reader started hanging around ratio (in a friendly way but aventurine didnt know that at the time)
ANYWAY, thats all!! i hope someone is also familiar with this fic and its author TT i just want to read it again cus its so good! real big thanks to anyone who can help me find this fic, thank you so much!!
Much, much more beautiful than any other persons' he knows of. Just when he believed his day had reached its pinnacle upon catching a glimpse of you, your radiant smile effortlessly shattered that notion, revealing an even greater joy.
Its vivid warmth easily rivaled the bright, beaming sun's, yet the solace it brought to him was equal to the tranquility of the moon. Each time your lips lifted up into even the smallest hint of a grin, he wanted nothing more than to lean into it and capture your lips in his.
He wondered how such a valuable sight emerged from such trivial gestures, but he wasn't complaining. You smiled when he gifted you something, when he took you somewhere, when he sat next to you, when he conversed to you - everything.
And yet, he is clueless on why - no, how - you were still smiling in this situation. Wrapped in his embrace, a dark hue of crimson red gushed from your chest, cascading down to pool on the ground below you two, staining his clothes in the process. The air was thick with debris and anguished cries, intertwining in a haunting symphony that seemed to mock the fragile moment between you two.
And yet, you still smiled.
Unfortunately, the warmth of it had been washed away by the events that had occured, and... By his tears that fell on your face. Or was it your tears that rolled down your cheeks? Maybe both of yours.
Nevertheless, he gently cradled your body that whose life was fading.
It began from your limbs, they slowly grew cold, reminding him of a winter that he had spent with you previously. Only difference now is that, the joy he felt from before was replaced with heavy, profound despair. Then it reached your eyes, their shine slowly dulled until it was completely extinguished. Those orbs that gazed at him with adoration. With hope. With love. Until finally...
Your smile finally lost its ardor.
It was still there, yet... it also wasn't. He could've, should've prevented this. But he failed. And the price he had to pay?
You and your beautiful smile.
comments are appreciated !! ദ്ദി(。•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊
a/n: i was feeling sad and therefore and i decided im bringing everyone down with me. laughs hysterically
I swear to God, I almost drowned
You asked me how I've been, but how could I begin
To tell you I should've chased you
I should be who you're engaged to
Honestly he was a fool to think you and him have time or some miraculous way that you would always wait for him. He would often go towards you for his troubles, but when it's your turn–he would be too busy or "oh sorry I'm busy hanging out with the others" he's always inconsistent. You stayed silent because he is happy he moved on but forgot to bring you.
You thought that love meant endurance, maybe hoping that you being there would be noticed by him but it didn't. Love does mean endurance but it becomes a waste when somebody doesn't appreciate it and you, he only remembers about you when he needs something not because he wants you. He would often reject your attempts of hang outs or training saying he has better things to do, which means you are not important in his eyes or one of his priorities–it stung a lot that you lose somebody that you deeply cherish and love with all your heart. But if he wants to go, you let him.
Phainon would notice the distance but there was already a large gap between both of you. You are not replying to his messages, as well as he's rarely seeing you anywhere because you are busy at a new job you get. When he finally realized his feelings towards you due to missing you, it was already too late you already went away. He wants to hold you desperately, he wants to feel you being there right beside him. Every time he receives a message hoping it's you, but it's always not you.
The last time he saw you or a glimpse of you was during the train station, he just got the message from Cyrene asking him why he is not there to bid farewell to you. When he made it to the train station, it was already setting off. You were unable to hear him, due to you wearing headphones not knowing the attempts of how phainon trying to catch up to you hoping you would notice him, see him and come back to him. But like him when you were the one chasing him, you didn't give a single glimpse.
SUNDAY
You and Sunday didn't get along originally. The marriage was arranged by his adopted father, who said the marriage would help the "harmony". He was not a bad husband but he still remains at arms distant from you, he never really opens up to you treating you as a coworker rather than a lover or spouse but it's understandable. During the start of the marriage, it was awkward. He tried to initiate conversations with you, but both of you don't have any hobbies so there's nothing you can bold or share about. Even though, it was rocky and awkward time progressed–you and him started to get close with each other.
During days when he's busy with paper work or stress, you would be there as a stabilizing force. Even though you know that he prefers you not getting involved with the family business or matters, you would sit beside him as a way to tell him that you are there if he ever needs comfort. There's something special about knowing that, even when you are in your darkest–someone is out there to love you and wait for you. Talking about his troubles, and also helping him make the right decision–he likes to call you songbird as a nickname, viewing you as something worth protecting.
Unfortunately the charmony festival didn't go smooth as planned and dangers have risen due to countless factions meeting together–sunday advise you to stay indoors because he doesn't know what to do if you were in harms way, while helping organize Sunday office for the charmony festival a piercing pain entered your body as if you were stabbed by something. You wake up dreamflux reef, reunite with Sunday and robin as well as there and also meet one of the esteemed guests that was invited by the family–The Astral Express.
In the end, it was revealed that Sunday was working for the order all this time. He insisted on going forward towards the charmony festival, despite your desperate attempts at stopping him and begging him. In the end, he lost and was arrested–that was the last time you saw him. You were let off due to not being involved and aware of the events that are going on, that's probably why Sunday would push you away every time you tried to help–if there's ever a time that he was discovered, you would remain unharmed. You were left to be in charge of the leading penancony with the old oti assistant, you were star gazing penancony when an intellitron joined you. You find her present quite familiar, you and her immerse in a conversation which soon ended because her companion is calling to her–she did leave you with a letter, as she walked you swear you saw a glimpse of your husband.
MYDEI
He truly did love you till the end, but it was impossible for his status. Being a prince meant for him to always be closed to his people due to being the future king, yet he is also not allowed to be more with his civilians. You were nothing but just an attendant for him and the eyes of everyone, he sometimes wishes to hold you out in public yet it's not allowed or else people would judge his leadership.You and him grow up together with you attending to him more than actually enjoying your childhood. But unfortunately those times of joy were caught short when the king decided to choose to kill his own son due to a prophecy of him bringing down the dynasty, mydei barely escaped if it weren't for his mother giving him time. By this, mydei was banished from the kingdom and hunted his own people.
You remain serving the old king with obedience. A few years later, you still would wonder where mydei is or was he safe. There's been sights of him wandering around the forest but when the king sent his guards to the location, there was no trace at all. After All these years, Mydei appeared at the palace gates–not the child that used to play with you but now a full grown warrior who comes to challenge the king and he did win.He became king overnight, but it seems he holds no memory for you–He didn't even wanna look at your face directly. Even though you were kept close to him like before as an attendant again, the friendship and memory of you have perished in his mind or is it?
Mydei is a great king, yet the memories of the day of his banishment still haunt him causing him to spend more time outside the palace instead of staying in. He would go on adventures, bringing home wild beasts and treasures from places. You realize that some new jewelry has been given to you anonymously, when you tried to ask the other attendant and servants would turn their head saying that it's confidential. Recently the black tide has been getting strong, and mydei wants to embark on a journey with some companions to prevent it. He looks you in the eye for the time ever since he came back, telling you to remain at this place because it's safer.
He embarks on a journey once again. 10 months in, his Majesty and companions journey have been a success. Yet this also causes an awareness with the black tide realizing how big of a threat they can be, so they started to scheme. They manage to break through, the defenses of the kingdom and spread terror to the citizens, it was a miracle that you survive–but without any losses. Your vision has been damaged so there's no hope of getting it back, as well as how your body is slowly shutting down –you are dying. You were left on bed rest as you slowly rotted away, one day the door opened–even though you are blind, you are able to recognize it's your prince. Mydei presence brings comfort to your dying self, Mydei approaches your bed–sits by the bed picks up your body and cradles your body as if its the most precious thing that's ever happened, fearing if he goes harder you would break. "Welcome home your majesty, if only I'm able to see you again" those are the last words you mutter before succumbing to your injuries, mydei is now alone in the room with the body of the woman that he once and still loves laying on his arms peacefully with the curse of unable to see his face one last time "I'm back... My love"
ZHONGLI
You were nothing but just a human who has fallen for the man, name rex lapis or Morax. You were just one of the few disciples of cloud retainer, it's no secret that you have this "infatuation" towards Morax. You would often chase him around and try to gain his attention, all other adepti think it's silly that you are chasing over a man whose entire life span is older than your ancestor. Cloud retainer would always try to convince you to drop the lord of geo from your radar and too just move on, but you were a stubborn lovesick person.
This was during the time when zhongli was still understanding of human nature or life, and you are by far the most confusing human he ever seen. You are simply stubborn and want to show your affection towards him, you protect him even though it seems ridiculous because why would you need to protect him. Zhongli didn't think much of your display of affections, but the way of your dedication towards him and the smallest things you do for him brings a sense of happiness towards him. Even though you love him, you would always respect him and would not force him to love you. When asked why to protect and devote your life to a man that doesn't love you, you simply replied that you wish to protect something precious in your heart.
Days become months, and months become years. Zhongli notice that you are getting old, the adepti are naturally immortals but they sometimes forget that you are also human. Your youthful appearance becomes its former picture, and overtime your body is growing weaker and with wrinkles. Yet you continue to serve him, cloud retainer literally lecturing you to retire and rest but just like your younger years, you were stubborn. Zhongli would always know that he would outlive you, but through the years of watching it happened brings an ache to his heart–is this what you called love? Seeing you slowly slipping away brings an unbearable pain to him, even though you become old with old wrinkles zhongli would find you beautiful.
During one of your adventures to chenyu vale with him, you and him stumbled upon a stand selling jewelry so you tell him to pick a one which is honestly confusing towards him since he's an expert crafter so why you want to buy something he could easily craft. He chose a ring with a lotus motif in it, during the walk out–you got on one knee and slipped the ring to his ring finger, this memory would soon be engrained to his mind even after hundreds or thousands of years. During your burial zhongli becomes quiet and the one that lingers at your side the longest, he becomes quiet after the event and the adepti notices. Ever since then, he would wear the ring you gave. He often questions what is love, believing all love is the same–similar towards the love he had for liyue but he guesses that it was wrong for him to think that love can be compared to or simply measures. It's confusing yet beautiful, he guess he loves you too late. Through all history, your face would be around him as a way for him to remember you. Everybody knows the consultant of Wangsheng's funeralpartner is a gentleman "it's from my wife" is what he would reply when seeing another one of your keepsakes. You love him till the very end of your life and he will love you for all eternity–your wedding day became the day of your funeral, sealed not by vows, but by him binding his eternity to you.
AYATO
Honestly he shouldn't have kept silent and done something. If he were to do something, would you still be alive right here and painting him. He could imagine it, after getting married–you would spend time with him in the office, you painting him while he's doing paper work and maybe a nice cup of tea shared with you is a cherry on top. Now he is stuck in an unlovable marriage whose only purpose was to birth an heir,
You were a painter from mondstat who was commissioned by one of the advisors to the clan to paint ayato and ayaka together, but it seems the young master's beauty captivated you. You were a close relative of Thoma so he would often invite you to the estate to help him out as a way to make extra money for your trip at inazuma, ayato can always feel your gaze on him. He didn't think much of it, but he did find it amusing. On how you would immediately avoid his gaze after being caught staring, but... For safety measures–he asked thoma to observe you making sure you are not planning anything harmful.
But he guessed there was nothing to worry about in the first place, even though it was concerning that Thoma found your room filled with many paintings of ayato. But with further explanation, the truth was quite pleasant–you were looking for inspiration, and ayato beauty was captivating so you started to paint him in your free time. When ayato looks at the paintings he is quite moved that somebody actually found him beautiful, he guess that advisors have a taste. Ever since then, ayato would commission you to paint him or his sister honestly the way your hand held the brush and how smooth the strokes are is also captivating itself. When he asked you to paint him, he was concentrated on your hand and movement while you were concentrated on his beauty acting as if one mistake could lead to a death sentence. It can be seen that something is amidst between the both you, whenever it's love or friendship.
You were kept at inazuma longer than you should due to the sakoku decree preventing you from leaving and you stayed at the estate. During this time, ayato was looking for a wife due to the elders pressuring him to produce an heir. But how can he think of another woman when you are there sitting right beside him, he can already see a future with you. Unfortunately, after the help of a certain traveler the borders of inazuma open and you were asked to leave. It was painful for ayato to see the woman that he loved go, he was thinking of confessing to you but he's afraid of caging you in a foreign country you didn't know or not your homeland–thoma did get used to inazuma but there's some glimpse of him missing mondstat. So during the day of your departure no words of affection appear, both of you seem to be heartbroken. Ayato thought that at least you are gonna be happy in mondstat, but that news was crushed with the letter of the ship carrying you to mondstat got into a storm and disappeared into the depth of the ocean carrying with you. Ayato was quiet and didn't come out of his room for weeks and when he did, he acted normal. But ayaka and Thoma know. Even after months of what happens and he is now married to another woman, he left his heart for you.
DILUC
You and him are sworn enemies, him being the dark knight that protects mondstat at night while you were a thief who was under the fatui. You and him clash with each other and it would often end up with you escaping and successful with your heist for the regrator, diluc found your present troublesome as well as quite annoying but yet every encounter would lead towards him looking forward to seeing you again.
A child of the house of the hearth and also working under the number nine of the fatui harbinger, the regrator. You were taught to complete tasks effectively and efficiently without any zero mistakes, even though your father was caring–she was strict and wanted you to push harder. Like other children of the house of the hearth, you were an "orphan" at least that's what you were told to Believe by your father. But in truth you were a child born out of wedlock from one of Pantalone flings who tried to trap him into marriage, of course after you were born–your mother was killed and you were put into the house of the hearth unfortunately you don't know about this.
Even though appearance wise you and your biological father don't look alike, you inherited his taste for money as well as shiny things. You become a popular thief in all across teyvat, and soon you were reassigned under the ninth harbinger. You are unaware of his true identity, but he knows the truth and spoils you like a daughter more than a coworker. Many would feel jealous over this special treatment but unable to do anything because they would suffer the wrath of the ninth harbinger.
You and diluc also interacted outside the masks, usually your discussion would be filled with flirtation or playful banter. Diluc truly did love you, but due to your job under those guys makes it hard for him to trust you. Would you stick a dagger to his heart at night, during your honeymoon in your hotel room. After breaking into one of the fatui strong hold and gained some private information, he found out about the truth on how you don't have a choice but to serve the fatui. Maybe he can use this for you to turn into a new lead, leaving the fatui and being with him–he doesn't want you to suffer as well as not losing you. But with this, leading towards his captured and almost immediate death if it weren't for you breaking him out. In the end, you didn't want to go–you still wish to see if your father really did love you. As you slowly let go of his hand and go the other way, diluc is shattered into pieces because he knows what your fate is going to be. But he guess what surprises him is seeing you at angel share, but not have any memory of any of your interactions–the old you are dead, memory erase.

The hall was alive with the music of the violins. The romantic notes of the nocturne filled the venue, various couples dancing together accompanied by sonorous melodies. Each silvery symphony succoured your dance steps, whether you were familiar with the footwork or not. The scene was truly that of prestige and luxury; everywhere you’d look you’d be welcomed by the sight of various silks in a multitude of glossy colors — cerise, cerulean, emerald, ivory — matching the opulence of your own lavish choice of garments.
Prince Phainon, your newly-wed husband, was whispering something to you as he dipped you; but none of his words seemed to reach you. Almost every woman in the grand hall was looking in one direction, and, even if you’d never admit it, you were too.
In the middle of the hall, he was dancing closely with a woman you did not know. He smiled, as much as he seemed capable of, down at her. His gaze never once leaving her, never once missing an opportunity to fluster her. He held her tightly against himself, and anyone else in the world would think he had fallen foolishly in love.
Your former lover.
Anaxagoras was not an unsightly man. But his temperament, and his reputation amongst the royals was not lost on anyone. That was why no one ever tried to go for him; or so you thought. Because if that were the case…
Why did it seem like all the women in the kingdom decided to try their luck with him tonight? This exact night, that was supposed to celebrate your marriage to Prince Phainon. It was supposed to be about the two of you, and yet—
Every lady you saw giggled at his antics, a light blush never failing to cover their faces as they hid away from his cleverly calculated winks. His flirty grins. And you, only you knew, that Anaxa did not love like this. He was clearly, at least to you, trying to garner the attention of all the noble ladies present in the room.
And it was working.
Truthfully, you had an inkling you knew why he was being so brazen with his affections for someone who you could not name, no matter how hard you tried. She must not have had one of those faces, pretty as she was; pretty in a forgettable way. He was plainly making her feel wanted for a singular night.
Right in front of you. A part of you felt sympathy for the young woman at the thought, and that pity was quickly squashed down when she flagrantly nuzzled his neck, earning an amused scoff from the man. Supposedly.
…He wanted to make you jealous. Because when did he love like this? You swallowed, biting your tongue as you forced yourself to look away.
“Hey, is everything alright?” Right. You’re dancing with your husband.
Phainon wasn’t a bad husband. He was honestly better than any pompous prince who’d marry you for social standing, buying your love with flamboyant gifts to make up for their flaws — no, you were fortunate to have married Phainon. Many ladies, even surrounding you now, would envy you greatly. You were so, so lucky. And yet, this man in front of you would never, you think, fill the empty hole in your heart Anaxa had carved out. Well.
It wasn’t completely on him.
“I’m fine. Tired.”
And as Phainon pulled you both to a stop, you didn’t realize that Anaxa’s gaze had been on you the whole time. His jaw tightened.
