A continuation of the Genshin Impact characters as cats and how you ended up adopting them.
Featuring: Albedo, Kaeya, Sucrose, Rosaria, and Mona!
Special thanks to @eenochian for inspiring the first post!
Summary: Somehow, you've ended up adopting a few cats! How did you get them? What are they like?
Albedo:
The first cat you adopted was a cream color, with mid length fur, and turquoise colored eyes.
This cat was remarkably intelligent, as well.
You saw him at your neighborhood park one day, and because he was so well kept, you thought that he had an owner already.
When you found him sitting outside your front door the next morning, investigation one of your plastic plants, you found you were wrong.
You took him to the vet just to confirm.
"He's in good health, but his chip doesn't track to anyone anymore. A remarkable cat all around!"
You took him home, deciding to keep the little cutie.
Albedo was a quiet kitty, though he was always looking around your house, getting into your cabinets, once he even got stuck under your kitchen sink.
He especially loves to watch you cook. To keep him off the counter while you're doing so, you pulled a spare chair so he can sit next to you and watch what you're doing. You like to narrate what you're doing during these times.
He also wants to sniff your food when you're done, and since he very rarely takes bites, you let him always sniff your first bite.
One time he swiped the bite off the fork though after his sniff. You thought it was because it was a shrimp based meal, but then he pushed your plate off the table and hissed at the mess.
He didn't eat it, and wouldn't let you eat it either. With a sigh, you made a fresh batch with a new bag of shrimp, cleaning up the mess.
Before you dumped the mess away, you checked the date on the first bag of shrimp.
Oh. It was a month out of date.
Albedo very nearly looked smug at having kept you from having a nasty case of food poisoning.
You gave him a hefty serving of the new batch as a reward.
Kaeya:
A dark gray cat who was missing his right eye. Long and lean, and with a very extroverted personality.
He had quite long fur, and his tail especially was very long.
You found him sitting on the streets in the rain, looking more than a little forlorn.
You brought him in and dried him off.
He leaned into your scrubbing, clearly touch starved.
after a few weeks?
Attention seeker of the year.
He doesn't watch you cook like Albedo, but he winds around your legs and screams at you instead.
You offer him samples to sniff as well, but then he tries to actually eat them regardless of what's in it.
You had friends over once, and one of them brought a bottle of wine for a celebration.
Kaeya sat himself in that friend's lap for the entire evening, watching you through one slit eye.
He was mocking you. He does that a lot.
But he's also a sweet boy.
Scared of thunderstorms. When one hits, he crawls under your blankets and stays there till the rain stops. but another bolt of thunder will send him scrambling back.
When your sick, he steals your heating pad.
His paws are quite cool to the touch no matter what.
Your slinky, sneaky baby.
Sucrose:
A small pale gray kitty, almost green if you catch her in the right light. Her golden eyes are soft, and very shy.
Sucrose came wandering by one day, and caught the attention of Albedo from the windowsill.
You came running when you heard him meowing, only to realize he wasn't hurt or mad.
You looked to see what he was meowing at, and accidentally frightened Sucrose. She took off running, and Albedo meowed again.
She came back the next day. And the day after. Everyday.
You began to leave the window open, and leave a small dish of food and water out for her as well.
One day, you come home from an errand, and find her curled up on the couch with Albedo and Kaeya.
Much like Albedo, she's curious and investigative.
Unlike him, however, the results can leave her fluffed up and spooked. If the pan sizzles loudly while she's watching you cook bacon, she'll run to the other end of the house.
But she'll come back soon. She always does.
If Kaeya comes on too strong with his affections, she'll bat him away gently or run away.
She really enjoys being held and cuddled.
Perfect lapcat size.
Your little baby.
Rosaria:
She's the biggest cat you own, and can be quite bossy, but mostly she just lays in a corner of the room.
Until the others drape themselves all over her.
She looks rather grumpy when this happens, but if you can get close to her, you'll catch a soft, harsh purring.
She's a light color as well, but more reddish in tone than Sucrose.
She's a fighter as well. You can't count how many times you've walked in on her beating Kaeya up in the living room.
She keeps her claws sheathed when she's inside.
You're not actually sure why Rosaria came to you.
She was initially a wild cat, but one day she came in through the same window that Sucrose likes.
Now she spends about an equal time between inside and out, always coming home for bedtime. Or dinner, depending.
You wish she'd stay home, but the last time you tried to keep her inside, she actually broke your window.
You can't afford for that to keep happening for months.
You do manage to get her to the vet for a tracking chip, so while you're at work you can keep an eye on her.
For a while, she brought you some... interesting gifts. When she noticed you didn't really like them, she stopped. Instead, she'd bring back leaves and flowers. One time, it was a single, fragile butterfly wing. You preserve these things that she brings you, it shows you that she does care about you, too.
One time, she woke you up in the dead of night with an aggressive hissing. You woke up to find her flinging herself off the bed and attacking something on the floor.
You turned on the light to reveal what she was attacking. A venomous snake had found it's way into your room. Before you could intervene, however, Rosaria finished it off.
Albedo carried the remnants out much to your dismay. You had to pry it from both him and Sucrose, and threw it out.
When you finally returned to bed, Rosaria curled up nex to you, and began audibly purring.
Mona:
Mona, a gorgeous black cat with pale green eyes, was an accidental acquisition in a different way.
You were at the pet store looking for toys and treats for your pack of kitties, and you passed by the cats up for adoption.
She sat tidily, her tail tucked around her paws. Her head was tilted slightly, and she was staring directly at you.
The attendant laughed. "Well that's a first. She usually ignores all the customers, and has been so disagreeable in general. It's like she wants to go home with you."
Thinking about your other cats, you mumbled, "Maybe she does."
You thought about her while you finished collecting all of your items, and finally, after a few minutes, returned to look at the mysterious kitty.
Her long fur caught the light in fascinating ways, making it look like a small galaxy was constantly shifting across her body.
She slow blinked at you, and you sighed. "I'll be right back."
You ran back to the cat supplies, and picked up a new food and water dish set, new color, and a few more things, most of them in navy blues or purples.
When you came back, she stood up, stretched, and started meowing.
You told the attendant that you'd like to adopt her, and they laughed again before responding that they'd be happy to help.
Mona waltzed into the cat carrier with ease, and when you brought her home, she waltzed right out.
Fairly quiet, though she seemed to know the weather changes an uncanny amount of time before they happened. When it was going to storm, she'd drag Kaeya to the bed so he could hide early.
If it was going to be a clear night, she'd wait by the window with the clearest view of the sky, just waiting for night to fall.
You'd decided after Mona you were done adopting strange cats.
The cats were happy with this.
They often all spent hours draped over each other on the sofa.
Rosaria and Mona fought a bit at first, but then somehow became really good friends.
Mona also gets along quite well with Kaeya.
Sucrose loves Mona, often following her around, almost as much as she follows Albedo.
No night is complete without your kitty cuddle puddle on the bed.
I always wanted Ty and Kit to be the ones who will run the London institute someday. Like is my biggest dream. Ty would love London, an old city with many mysteries and Sherlock Holmes!! And kit being a Herondale would mean that the Herondales are running the London institute again, and Jessamine wouldn't feel so alone cause she can talk to him.
kit and ty are like the ultimate shadowhunter couple tbh. like kit, having been raised in an environment where he had to learn to fend for himself, is a survival master. johnny definitely isn't the type of person who makes dinner or buys good-quality clothes for kit, so he's had to improvise, ya know?
only 3 ingredients in the fridge? he can make a fairly decent meal.
accidentally tore your clothes? he can patch it up pretty well.
no idea how to get from point a to point b in a limited amount of time? he's already got 4 semi-doable routes in mind, so long as you cut through here, and swerve real quick around there-
kids with neglectful parents usually have to make life work for themselves at a pretty young age, so kit can make anything last longer, from thrift store jeans with too many rips to hand-me-down textbooks falling apart at the spine.
and ty is hella observant and is constantly noticing things that other people don't bother to pick up on.
he enters a room and his eyes dart around to take in every detail, so he can immediately map out the most convenient way to escape any situation.
so like, he's also awesome at realising when things don't add up, right? but he thinks everything through and never jumps to conclusions, which is what makes him such a great detective.
paired together, they're definitely the shadowhunter couple most likely to survive the apocalypse.
kit is definitely the one who introduced ty (and by extension, the blackthorns) to all the christmas stuff like secret santa, hanging up the mistletoe, leaving milk and cookies on christmas eve for santa, decorating the tree, and more.
kit takes ty out to show him around los angeles, all the parts he's never seen that kit grew up around, all those places decorated with lights and laughter and in full christmas spirit. ty loves every second of it. he also takes lots of photographs. most of them are of kit, though.
kit took ty out for shopping once. he wanted them to get ugly christmas sweaters. ty found them sherlock and watson ones. then kit also found them matching socks.
ty is better at wrapping gifts. kit sucks at it, and uses way more tape than necessary. ty always helps him wrap his gifts.
kit wraps ty's gift himself, of course. he would ask tessa for help, but ty has said that he likes the way kit wraps them. kit also always writes cute little notes on ty's gifts.
they both get extremely nervous about the gifts they get for each other. they feel very conscious and fear that the other won't like it. but the other always loves it.
kit has also introduced ty to the tradition of watching christmas movies. they always watch them cuddled up together, in their sherlock and watson sweaters.
when ty gets overwhelmed by all the christmas celebrations, they both sneak off to the terrace of the institute or the beach. they mostly sit in silence, sometimes sharing a pair of earphones and listening to music.
kit and emma set up mistletoes all over the los angeles institute. kit loves it when and he and ty are caught under one. but sometimes ty just presses a kiss on his nose and starts walking again. kit gets too flustered by those nose kisses to even complain.
I guess it’s time for me to share my most precious headcanon with you guys.
First of all -for those who don’t know me - I’m a typical nerd. You know the ones obsessed with classical music? When I opened this account I was totally obsessed with Kit Herondale and La Campanella (the violin version). And I couldn’t help but imagine Kit playing La Campanella passionately with Jem. After all, Jace was a pianist so maybe Kit was playing violin? I asked Cassie if he was playing any instrument like Jace but she said no. That was 2-3 years ago. (P.S.: It kinda broke my heart but sshhh)
But now Jem and Tessa practically adopted Kit. So in this headcanon, Jem teaches Kit how to play violin because why not?
• Kit playes violin when he is upset, thoughtful or angry. For 15 years, his coping mechanism was sarcasm but now he has another way out. (That doesn’t mean he isn’t sarcastic now. Bold of you to assume a Herondale would left his sarcasm behind.)
• And he’s damn good at playing it, let me tell you. Everyone is surprised at it because as you know violin is a difficult instrument but he is a Herondale after all. There’s nothing he cannot achieve.
• 3 years after QOAAD, the Clave gives a mission to him. In order to accomplish the mission, Kit has to work with Ty and Dru. So he goes to LA Institute. Ty arrives a day later (you know being a Centurion and stuff)
• And oh boy. Damn. Kit left him 3 years ago and here he was pushing his all buttons the right way.
• Everyone is talking about Kit seeing Ty in Centurion uniform but how about Ty seeing Kit???
• Because we all know Ty is one of those people who gets turned on by seeing his crush playing classical music. Don’t deny it.
• He doesn’t know what he is experiencing. Well, he does but he doesn’t understand. He never felt something like that before. Why now? Wasn’t he supposed to be angry with his ex-best friend after he promised not to be separated then run away like a little chicken???
• Kit playing violin was the best thing he has ever seen. It’s going to haunt his dreams. [Some of them are beginning of his wet dreams :):)]
• Kit doesn’t realise Ty’s frozen state at the door. He’s overwhelmed by his emotions after going back to the place he run away from 3 years ago and trying to solve them with his baby 2. (We all know baby 1 is baby Carstairs, oh shush)
• “T-Ty? Were you there the whole time?”
• Our autistic baby can’t even form a sentence because oh god what just happened
so anyways kit plays guitar and learns every single one of ty’s favourite songs
ty has that Neurodivergent Love Language thing when he sends kit articles about stuff that he finds interesting :)
in the wicked powers, they must have a scene where they ride in the back of a pickup truck and look at the stars. this is law
kit has floofy curly golden hair and ty loves stimming with it bcs it’s so soft and comforting!! basically sensory heaven!!
and ty steals kit's hoodies and sweatshirts, they smell like him and are comfy af
also kit's a total rich bitch now so he owns like really high-quality hoodies
he has like a shit ton of them, plus way too many crop tops
these cute-ass nerds probably have a shared spotify playlist tbh. they’re always adding songs that remind them of each other, or just songs they like in general
they like watching true crime. like y’know those super long documentaries on netflix? that and several cartons of ben & jerry’s and boom kitty date night!!
cheek kisses! forehead kisses! butterfly kisses! ty loves giving them bcs kit’s skin is soft and smells like his probably expensive mango peach facial wash, but he finds it super funny when kit wants to kiss him and has to tip-toe

What fandoms would your muse belong to?
Its canon that Kitty like Star Wars and Star Trek (though she likes Star Wars better), but she also is into all kinds of other nerdy things. She’s into DC, LOTR, and Harry Potter. Her favorite genre is sci-fi, and she’s seen almost every sci-fi movie you can name.
Does your muse like amusement parks/carnivals/festivals?
Yes! She’s a thrill seeker. She loves riding on all of the rides and eating all of the carnival junk food. She’ll drag anyone she can into going with her… and, of course, forces them to ride even the biggest rides.
