Dang, I just realized that TLH reader has a pretty unique family dynamics with at least three of four shades. Like if she would chose Venti (if Istaroth is truly Venti's "mother") or Albedo, does that mean reader would have one of two shades as in law?

if Paimon is Asmoday theory is true, then she have parent child relationship with one of shades as well.

So true, having Shade as mother in law would be really ... interesting 🤭

Traveler's little helper -Extra-: A gaze upon 'their' realm

Yeah....based of this new video Hoyo posted today. ----

You woke up, gasping for air. Looking around you noticed that you’re still in the dark room that belongs to you in Teapot. Your heart beating fast, you felt like you just saw something you shouldn’t be able to. -“They are…” you mumbled, something stopping you from saying who the people were in the ‘dream’. You sat in your bed, placing your hand on your forehead, you wondered if the ‘dream’ you saw happened now. No, you saw the Pierro in daylight and now it is the middle of night.  It's the first time for you to see something like this in a dream, normally it’s like your soul is somewhere else to watch certain things till you go back to your body.  You got up from bed and left the room, going through dark halls of the house until you reached a certain room. You took a breath and as silent as you could opened the door. Aether and Paimon were sleeping soundly. You smiled to yourself after seeing Paimon who sucked her thumb like a little child. “They are alright, everything is fine.”  you calmed your heart with this thought. You caressed gently Paimon’s head and not wanting to wake them up you left the room, giving the last look at Aether.

You went to the living room and sat on the coach.  The thing you saw made many thoughts swarm in your head and the worst part is that you can’t talk about it to anyone.  You can’t help but wonder who Paimon truly is. The words of Enjou came back “Take that little fellow by your side. Perhaps you shall someday face betrayal from that corner too. Who knows?” You shook your head. No matter who Paimon truly is, you love her and trust her.  But then you wonder why Asmoday separated two golden-haired siblings. What’s her plan? Is her Master someone you already know or someone your group will meet in future? … You looked at your hands. -“It’s not like I’m better than her…” you mumbled to yourself. After all, you're the one who chose who is going to be Traveler.  There were many moments when you were wondering how Aether would react if he found out that you could choose Lumine and now travel with her. Would he be mad? Would he be disappointed in you for letting his sister endure the pain of guilt and loneliness? Or maybe he would hate you for intervening with their ‘fates’ ?

You felt someone gently caress your head. Surprised you turned around but then calmed down.  -”Oops, did I startle you? I’m sorry my Windblume~” Venti said with smile -”Don’t scare me like that…” you sighed. “What are you doing here at this hour, Venti?” you asked, confused why he would be up at this time of night. He walked around the couch and sat down next to you. -”The wind told me someone is not sleeping so I came to check~” he said with a sing-song voice. -”Wind? In the house?” you said, not believing him. “I hope you didn’t try to sneak some wine from the kitchen while everyone was asleep.” you smirked at him. The bard dramatically gasped and placed his hand on his chest. -”You hurt me with such accusations my dear! I truly came to check out who is walking around the house!” -”Alright, but if anyone tomorrow will say that some bottle… or bottles vanished I won’t cover for you~” you start to tease. Venti only smiled at that. -”So… may I know why you are here and not asleep?” he asked. When you wanted to say you had just an unpleasant dream something crossed your mind.  “Venti could be basically considered as ‘son’ of Istaroth… but how much is there connection between them? Can she see and hear everything he does? Is this why he is here?” The bard noticed your hesitation in answering, his eyes gleaming in darkness. While you were lost in your thoughts, Venti placed your head on his lap, making you come back to your senses.  -”V-Venti?” You stuttered, wanting to get up but he gently pushed you back. -”Shh… it’s alright. You had a very bad dream, didn’t you? I won’t let those nightmares haunt you, so close your eyes and relax.” With that he started to sing some lullaby. His voice was nice, making your eyelid start to get heavy. Before you know it you closed your eyes, relaxing to Venti’s song. Venti didn't stop his little 'performance' and started to pet your head, his touch warm and calming. The questions and speculations swarming in your head started to vanish one by one till your consciousness drifted to dream land. After some time the Anemo Archon noticed that you fell asleep, not stopping caressing your head. He enjoyed this moment of closeness with you. At some point he decided to take you to your bed.  After covering you, he placed a small kiss on your head. -”Sweet dreams, my Windblume.”

TLH-Extra-: "Unpleasant feelings"

After defeating Dottore... for the 2nd time and burning Irminsul, mixed feelings filled your heart and mind. 

While everyone was preparing to infiltrate Sumeru City, you unexpectedly heard a conversation between The Doctor and The Regrator. So compared to others you knew Pantalone was the one helping Dottore with everything. 

And like always, you couldn't say a word about it.  

You also learned what happened to the real Zandik. You can't help but feel bad about him... The same goes for an 8 years old Segment. It would be a lie if you said you didn't get curious about his past. What happened for him to lose empathy at the age of 8 years old? What kind of person was he at the age of 85? So many questions and you’re not sure if you will be able to find answers to them.

The Segments can't change their views and feelings, they can't "grow" and this is why Nahida couldn't forgive him like she did with Scaramouche. You won’t forgive Dottore for all the cruel things he did as well, he can’t even feel remorse. Yet you wonder if Zandik was still alive would he be opposed to those experiments of Dottore ?

You let out a sigh. In your hands you held Marrow that was found in the burned Irminsul. You got another glimpse of Dottore's past and even information about his "patients", Pantalone... or you may call him Feofan being one of them. It was surprising to learn that he has lived as a human for such a long time. And you're a bit worried about his condition. 

Worried? Why are you feeling worried about him? 

Maybe it's because of your curiosity? After all, you want to learn as much as you can about all Harbingers and people you meet on your travels. Or maybe there is another reason?

You shook your head and got up from the bed you were sitting on. You went to the kitchen in Serenitea Pot to prepare some tea. While you waited for water to boil, your thoughts wandered now to the dream you had.

Another of those dreams. 

And the worst part was to see that something will happen to Paimon. The worry is growing in your heart with each day because you know that soon Aether will be ready to go to Sheneynazha.

You felt a small hand touching your shoulder. Turning around you saw Paimon looking at you with a worried expression. -"(Y/n)? Are you alright? Paimon was calling you all this time..." -"Huh? Really? Sorry! I got lost in my thoughts!" -"Is that so? Lately you look sad... You know you can tell Paimon everything, right? I will do my best to help you!" -"I know… after all you're the best companion ever! " You hugged her close and suddenly started to tickle her. -"Noo!! Don't-! Paimon started to laugh and you joined her. 

After some struggle Paimon managed to free herself from your grasp. -”I... huff… told you... huff.. to not do that!" She stomped her feet in the air and pouted. You chuckled at that. -”Sorry I couldn't stop myself. Please accept this small offering for forgivnes~" You take out the Rainbow Macarons and give it to Paimon. You could see stars in her eyes appear. -"Alright! You're forgiven!" She took one cake and started to munch on it. You couldn’t help but smile. You took one macaron and started eating it too. 

No matter what awaits your group in future, you will do as much as you can to protect everyone you cherish.

TLH -Extra-: Love Potion! - Lisa (Feat. Aether/Diluc/Venti/Gorou x Fem!Reader)

-"Lisa.....it is possible to make a Love Potion?" The librarian took a sip of her tea and then smiled at you. -"Oh my....is the little cutie having feelings for someone?" After that, you heard some glass hitting of one another and a gasp -"Aether! Watch out!!" You looked behind Lisa to see Aether who almost dropped a new batch of potions and Paimon holding a bottle and scolding him for not being careful. After making sure they don't need your help, you look back at the librarian. -"It's not that I want to use it on someone... After making so many potions with Aether I just started to wonder if it's even possible to make Love Potion too." You tilted your head, wondering. Love Potions are a popular concept in fantasy stories. You saw the magic of the potions you made with your companion, so you couldn't stop wondering if it's possible to make one that will bring two people together in this world too. The purple witch closed her eyes, with a smile not leaving her face. -"Then I want to ask you... How would such a Love Potion work in your opinion?" You hummend. -"Something like, the person who will drink it will feel more relaxed around the other person? Or maybe the person can use potion on their skin and the smell will make other people attracted to them?" Lisa giggled. -"Oh my....are you planning to make all the people in the city fall in love with you?" -"Wha-!? N-no! ... Alright, the potion used on skin is a bad idea..." -"But I like your ideas... most people  would say that a Love Potion should make someone immediately fall in love with the first person they see. A potion like this is possible to make of course but it is morally wrong to use one like this." Lisa poured more tea to her and your cups. You thanked her and asked. -"Have you ever made one before?" -"Oh? Are you interested in my love life?" -"W-well..." You played with your fingers, Lisa laughed. -"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't but coming back to the subject... I won't mind for you to try making your own 'Love Potion', you can consider this as a small test from me. She was still smiling, but you felt a chill run down your spine. You gulped. -"Before you start you have to promise me that you will be the one testing the effects of your Love Potion, alright?" -"A-alright..." You nodded, maybe this wasn't a good idea to ask about it, but you won't lie, it's exciting to try to make such a new potion.

....

Aether watched you working on this new potion. He knows this is a bad idea and yet deep down he wishes for it to work even for a moment and have you shower him with affection and love. You promised Lisa that you will be the one testing it and Aether is there to make sure you won't be jumping on random people to kiss them or something. -"Are you sure about that?" the blond boy asked. You looked at him with a big smile. -"Of course! It's really fun! I used Zatyun Peaches, Marcotte, Dandelion, Glaze Lily... let's see..." You put the mixture into heart shaped glass. The color was pink mixed with purple. "Okay... let's try it!" You took a sip. -Oh! Is (Y/n) testing the potion now?" Paimon flew towards you, wanting to see how it would go. You licked your lips. -"So how are you feeling?" The little girl asked. -"Hm... normal." You shrugged. "The taste is a bit off though." -"So the first one failed? Don't worry (Y/n)! I'm sure the next one will work! ... (Y/n)? Why are you looking at Paimon like that?" -"..." You placed your hands on Paimon's cheeks and then started to pinch them. -"Uwaaa! Paimon!!! Your cheeks are so chubby! So cute!! Like a hamster!!" Paimon tried to run away from your grasp but you held her tight and started to hug her. Nuzzling your face into a little girl's head. -"Why are you so cute?! This should be illegal!!" -"Aaaa! Aether!! Help me!!!" But the boy didn't do anything. He stood there watching all of this with a pout. "Why couldn't this happen to me?" he thought. ... You sighed. Thankfully the potion worked only for 5 minutes. After drinking the potion Paimon started to look very cute in your eyes and you got the urge to hug and smooch her cheeks. -"This...wasn't the effect I was looking for..." -"Next time do that to Aether! Paimon felt like some toy!!" the little girl pouted still hiding behind the golden haired boy. -"I'm so sorry Paimon! I didn't expect to lose control like this!" Paimon only did small 'hmph' and went to gather more flowers. -”I have to buy Paimon some Sweet Madame later…” you scratched your head, looking at an angry, little girl flying over the garden. “Okay, let’s go back to making potions!” Aether watched you putting ingredients into the pot. You look so cute when you concentrate on something, he really wanted to leave a kiss on your cheek now. And maybe he will be able to, if the potion works of course. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn’t realize that you finished your second one. -”Oh! Master Diluc! Welcome back!” Paimon shouted. Aether looked over where the red haired male stood. He wondered if there was some problem with the batch they sent to Dawn Winery, so he went to ask Diluc about that. -”Welcome back, was there any problem with potions?” -”No, I wanted to commission you to make another one with different effect-” -”Diluc!!! Welcome!!!” You jumped on the red haired man, holding on to him tightly. Both guys were surprised. Diluc didn’t know what to do, after you jumped at him, he stopped moving. “Ah I missed you so much! My heart is in pain without you!” You nuzzled your head into his chest. -”(Y/n)! Let Master Diluc go! We are sorry! (Y/n) was trying to make Lo- testing new potions, so she ends up behaving like this! Aether don’t just stare! Help Paimon!!!” The white haired girl shouted at Traveler who was standing in place, too shocked that again your affection was given to another person. And the worst part is that it is given to another guy! You held tightly to the young Master of Dawn Winery. -”No! I won’t let go! Diluc is so warm! I want to stay with him! Oh? I knew it! You feel the same, right? Your face is so red! Hehe~” You giggled, seeing the red cheeks of Diluc. He tried to cover his face with one hand and turn his head away from you, but with your hold on him it was hard. -”That’s it!” Paimon shouted and then started to tickle you, hoping it would make you let go of Diluc.  And it worked, even too well. You tried to run away from Paimon but you ended up falling on the ground with the little girl not showing any mercy. 

When Paimon stopped tickling you, you needed some time to take your breath. -”Are you alright?” Aether that was crouching by your side, asked. -”Ha…ha…y-yeah… I’m better now…” Aether held his hand for you to help you get up from the ground. “Thanks!” You smiled and then looked at the red haired man. “I’m sorry Diluc for that. The potion I was working on didn’t go well as it seems. Ah! I have to write everything down!” And you ran off to the table where you are making potions. Aether sighed. “Next time I have to stay close to her no matter what.” He thought. Meanwhile Diluc finally calmed his fast beating heart down. He coughed into his hand. -”It seems you both are busy… I’ll come another time.” -”Wa! But Master Diluc! We can still take your order!! Oi!” Paimon shouted but Diluc already left. Right now he wished he had Cryo vision to cool down his red cheeks. 

… -”Done! The third one should be a success!” You held up the potion to show to Aether and Paimon. The little girl already hid behind the Traveler. -”How does this potion work?” the boy finally asked. -”Hm? Oh! I want to make a potion that fills you with confidence! Like you know, if someone is planning to confess! If I lost control over my emotions and stuff that means I failed…Ok! Let’s try this one!” You drank it. -”So…how are you feeling?” Paimon asked, still being behind Aether. -”Normal… the taste is at least better!” And you three just stood there in silence for a moment. -”Weird. I don't feel different either…” -”Hello there my good friends!” you all heard a sing-song voice. -”Wa!! Tone-Deaf Bard!! Don’t scare Paimon like that!” the little girl pouted and crossed her arms. -”Ehe~!” -”Ugh Paimon have enough! Why are you even here?!” Venti make sad face -”Aw, I just wanted to check what my dear friends are up to…but it seems you don’t want this poor lil old me here…” The bard turned around “Ah how sad that I’m not welcome here…” he said with a sad tone. The truth is he wanted to tease Paimon a bit, but what he didn’t expect is that your arms would embrace his torso from behind. Your head on his shoulder. -”Don’t say that, Venti. You know we are always happy when you’re with us. I love hearing you sing or recite poems or play on your Lyre. And of course we love hanging out with you!” you said, your cheek pressing towards his one. It’s hard to surprise Venti, he is not moved when someone tries to charm him either. And yet there you are, making Anemo Archon’s heart beat speed. -“Oh? Is that so? So you won’t mind if I stay for awhile then?~” You turned him around and grabbed his cheeks. -“Of course we won’t! Stay as long as you want!” your thumbs started to do small circles on his cheeks. Venti was stunned because of such close contact.  “Did anyone said how pretty you are?” You continued while playing with one of his braids. But before the bard could say anything, someone took you away from him. -“It seems the potion works….but not in a way it should.” Said Aether, glaring at Anemo Archon while hugging you from behind. You looked surprised, but then smiled and pat the golden haired boy’s cheek. -“Aww, is someone jealous? Don’t worry Aether…you’re pretty too!” Paimon flew over Venti to explain your behavior.

… This time the effect of the potion lasted longer. You spend one hour complimenting the boys, holding their hands or caressing their cheeks. They didn’t complain, they decided to just bath in your affections. Even when the potion stopped working and you were apologizing for all those stuff you did, they were smiling saying “Don’t worry!” in their heads they wished the potion lasted longer. Venti had to go, he promised Diona to help find some more stuff for her new drink. But he didn’t mind to leave so soon, your attention towards him and touches brought him to such a good mood that even now he is coming up with new songs and poems. He hopes that you’ll listen to them later.

Meanwhile you were feeling burned out. None of the potions worked the way you wanted and you’re not sure what you are doing wrong. You were looking at your notes but feeling a bit frustrated you just closed the notebook and sighed. -“What’s wrong (Y/n)?” The boy asked who was sitting by your side. -“I.. I’m just angry I failed so many times… we did so many potions that I thought I can make something like this…” Aether patted your back. -“How about a small break? Maybe you’ll get an idea how to improve it after you relax a bit?” -“Yeah!” Paimon flew over with flowers in her hands “We didn’t eat anything in some hours!! Your belly is empty and this is why you can’t come up with anything!” You giggled. -“Alright, let’s go to eat then!” Paimon fly higher like she wanted to jump in the air shouting “Yay!!”. Your group decided to go to Good Hunter for a meal.

After filling your bellies with good food, you come back to working on the potion. -“Alright… this is my last attempt… if it won’t work then I give up.” You said to your companions and started working on the mixture.  You were writing something on your notebook, Aether is always curious what you write there but he can’t read it at all, even if he visited so many worlds he didn’t know your language (or maybe he doesn’t remember it anymore?). The connection between him and you helps you to understand and speak in Teyvat language but you can’t read Teyvat alphabet and people from here and him can’t read your alphabet. He is really wondering why this connection can help with speaking but not reading, there are many mysteries about it. -“I finished it!” you suddenly shouted, surprising Aether. “Okay…here we go!” and drank it immediately. “It tastes sweet…too sweet…ugh…”  you said, closing your eyes. -“Hey everyone!” Everyone turned toward Gorou who was approaching your little group. -“Gorou, wait! Don’t move--!” But before Aether could finish his sentence you ran towards the Watatsumi General. -“Hm?” Gorou stopped moving and looked at you. The both of you looked at each other without saying anything. “Is there a probl-“ -“Marry me!!” you shouted. Kneeling in front of him and holding his hand. -“WHAT?!” everyone shouted. Gorou's ears and tail were standing up. -“I know it’s sudden but Gorou! I want to spend the rest of my life with you!” You put his hand where your heart is. -“B-but (Y-Y/n) this is…this is too sudden!” he said but anyone who was behind him could see his tail start wagging. -“I know! But I don’t want to waste any more sec- uwah?! “ you were interrupted by Aether who tried to take you away from the cannie warrior. -“Sorry Gorou! Don’t take this seriously, she drank a weird potion and is…a bit crazy!!” said Paimon and then helped Aether to take you away. Gorou stood there stunned, his face was red. -“So…does it mean you and (Y/n) are married now?” Kirara asked, approaching him. -“Wha- N-no…” his ears fall. -“You look disappointed.” -“I’m not!” But yes, he is.

When you come to your senses you apologize, you’re so embarrassed that you proposed to someone. You think you won’t be able to look Gorou in the eyes for some time. This was a big failure and you gave up. When talking with Lisa, she said to not worry, even if the potions didn’t work how you wanted you still learned some things. You decided to take a small break from making potions and took a nap under the tree, while Aether continued to make potions that people commissioned. Lisa watched from her table and sighed. -“It’s a shame Razor wasn’t there…” then she chuckled “But oh well, at least I had some fun watching all of this~” and then she took a sip of her tea.

-Bonus- In Inazuma, the pink kitsune laughed loudly. -“Ah I wish I could see this with my own eyes~” said with a smile, trying to imagine the whole scenario. -“Paimon said it was because of potion…at first I thought (Y/n) was serious about that nya! -“Hmm… I think this gave me some ideas. Thank you Kirara for sharing about your trip with me.” Yae Miko eyes’ looked like a predator finding it’s another meal. -“A-ahaha! You’re welcome!” Kirara at this moment started wondering if it was really alright to tell Yae about her trip with Gorou to Mondstadt.

------ Thank you for reading till the end! And sorry for mistakes >.< You can guess I had the idea when I played the potion event but because I couldn't use my PC I had hard time to finish it in peace... But now I can use my PC again so I'll try finish other things! I'll post other short thing today or tomorrow that I started to write in that time without my PC. It may not be that great but I hope you'll still like it!

TLH doodle: "Love Potion!"

You can read it here ! Also it's last one I promise lol

[arisewanekosuki]

Since someone said that TLH Reader reminds them of Mitsuri, and she and Aether wear braids, let’s say Reader also has braids. So, Reader braided a small strand of Paimon's hair so the three of them could match.

Awww that's so cute! Braid team! 🤭❤

But after seeing you braid Paimon's hair get ready that some guys will ask you to braid their hair too~

[arisewanekosuki]

hello I have an ask for traveler’s little helper what if LH has a food allergy and forgot to mention it and some of the boys (Subaru bois + Ather & Paimon )were witness to a severe allergic reaction.

Hello! Sorry that it took so long T_T I hope you'll still enjoy this! >.< Tbh I don't have allergy to anything so sorry if something is not correct m(_ _)m ---- You didn’t know how this happened. It started as a normal day, doing commissions in Sumeru with Aether and this time Cyno was the one who had time to help you both. When you finished and Aether approached Katheryne to get payment, Cyno invited you for dinner. Of course you didn’t get it that Cyno wanted to eat dinner with ONLY YOU, you thought he wanted to spend more time with your whole group. And surprise, surprise. The rest of Sumeru boys invited themselves to this dinner. Cyno is not even sure how they knew about it, he was paying attention to his surroundings, making sure nobody else will hear about his plans and yet, here they are. You didn’t complain, as you said “the more the merrier!” Meanwhile Tighnari gave his friend the look that said ‘Nice try’, Kaveh was the one who was asking how your day went, Alhaitham sat in silence, waiting for food and listening to your conversation with Kaveh. Wanderer sat in silence too, from time to time bickering with Paimon, Aether looked tired, for sure he just wanted to relax with you in Teapot. You couldn’t see it from Cyno’s face but he was disappointed that again, he couldn’t spend some alone time with you.

After a while many dishes were brought to your group table. Paimon and you were excited to try some of them that you didn’t eat before. But after taking some bites you started to feel unwell. Not only you didn’t realize the dish had something you have an allergy to, you never mentioned it to even Aether and Paimon. The reason is that you thought that in this world your allergies won’t act up at all and not only that, to this day it seems you luckily avoided anything that you’re allergic to.

You started to have trouble with breathing and feel dizzy. Tighnari was the one who reacted first. For a moment he wondered if there was poison in food but looking more at you he understood it was a severe allergic reaction. He laid you down on the floor and searched in his little bag if he had anything right now that can help you. Paimon was panicking, asking “What happened to her?! Will she be alright?!” Aether was panicking too, crouching by your side and looked scared, not understanding what’s going on. Alhaitham and Cyno asked Tighnari what’s going on. While Kaveh asked what they should do to help you.  Tighnari asked them to make space for you and explained that you have an allergic reaction. He tsked when realizing he doesn’t have anything to help you. -“ We need to inject her with adrenaline! We shouldn’t move her in this state, so someone has to go to hospital-“ before he could finish sentence, Wanderer already left the restaurant and went to hospital. Tighnari was monitoring your condition while Kaveh was trying to calm down both Paimon and Aether (and himself), Alhaitham and Cyno keep people from coming to see what’s going on while the whole group waited for Wanderer.

They didn’t wait too long for Wanderer to come back. Tighnari applicated the adrenaline to you while others waited, some more nervous than others. When you could breathe normally and felt better, the boys would give you only one minute before they started scolding you for not saying something important like this earlier. -”How could you forget to tell us about your allergy?!” said Tighnari flicking your forehead. -”Yeah! We traveled for so long together and you didn’t say a thing about it?!” shouted Paimon. -”What if Tighnari wasn’t here?! We wouldn’t be able to help you!” said Aether, very angry at you. -”(Y/n), you shouldn’t hide things like this from us.” said Cyno, even if he sounded calm you could see disappointment in his eyes. -”But-” you were interrupted. -”They are right!! Do you think we want to see you suffer like this?!” Kaveh raised his voice a bit. -”But I-”  you were interrupted again. -”Hmpf, it seems you can’t take care of yourself, so tell us what you're allergic to, now.” said Wanderer with crossed arms. -”Even if nothing happens to you in the end, I assume it’s still not a pleasant experience for you. It’s better to know in the future what to avoid to order, than making fuss in restaurants.” said Alhaitham. Food got cold, but Paimon didn’t mind. After you told them what you are allergic to, they ordered new dishes. You hoped that you could just enjoy food now but not really. From time to time you could hear complaints about how careless you are. You got a bit annoyed but you nodded to them and promised that you will be more careful in future. After all, you know they just worried about your well-being. From this day the boys started to pay even more attention to you and your health.
