“He is quite dense, you know?”
You jolt from your stare at the man standing with Cloud Retainer and one of the newer adepti to the ethereal woman next to you. Her laugh is soft, tinkling like the tiny bells mortals like to shake during their celebrations. “…My lady, I-“
“There is a reason he and I are allies, but he is the one that runs headfirst into the fray.” Guizhong’s hands are deft as she takes the basket of glaze lilies from your arm and lowers you to the ground beneath a tree you’ve stopped at. “God of rocks, indeed. That hard head of his is a prime example.”
She and you share a smile, and she motions for you to rest while she fiddles with the stems of her flowers. You hesitate at first, but settle next to her with a quiet huff.
The wind is cool while under the shade of the Sandbearer trees, and you take this time to sit back and breathe in the sweet scent of the lilies around you. Glaze lilies are rife in the plains, and a favorite of the local ladies due to Guizhong’s care and upkeep. They flourish unlike any other cultivation, and it is a beautiful sight on days like these.
“He would be lost without you.” Her eyes twinkle with mischief when your arms buckle and you end up staring at the clouds instead. “Oh, don’t be like that; I may be the brains, but you’re Rex Lapis’ right hand for a reason. One that even I was never given a clear answer on.”
“It was nothing special!”
“A rare sentiment that you and he disagree on.” The blooms in her hand are vibrant as rays of light patch through the leaves above. “I know the look in your eye, just as I knew the look in his when we first met.”
“And what, pray tell, may that be?”
Instead of offering you an answer, she sits you up to place the fruits of her labor over your head; a crown of glaze lilies, interwoven stems reinforced with smaller flowers to create a stunning array across your hair.
A low chuckle from behind makes you yelp. “Rex! Don’t scare me like that, stars above-“
His amber eyes are bright with mirth as he sits by the tree (Guizhong notes with a smile, as he sits much closer to you than near her).
“I thought you wished for me to be lighter, dear friend.”
You gently smack his arm, rolling your eyes with a sigh on your lips. “I did not mean for you to be light-footed, I merely wished you would stop keeping a blank face with mortals. You used to frighten the children!”
“Oh, I used to scare them?”
“Do not even try to pull this around, Lord Morax-“
She is struggling not to laugh as she brings a hand in between you two, shoulders shaking. “Enough, children.”
What about hcs for Childe with an s/o that gets flustered easily? I think it would be cute and fun (・O・。)
oh my! (fluff, hcs)
pairing: childe x easily flustered gn!reader
warnings: slight suggestiveness (situational), reader can fit/sit in childe’s lap
a/n: this is so sweet i feel like i just poured sugar onto my phone and let it crystallize so i hope this meets the cute and fun :) (also sry this is now belated bc i got distracted by inazuma)
original hbd post
childe is someone that people tend to avoid rather than approach. to put it plainly, no one really wants to tangle with the potential of a harbinger, and that is what makes you all the more important to him.
he is something entirely different with you; not the tsaritsa’s tartaglia or his mentor’s childe but ajax, your ajax, and he likes that much more than any other title the world can give him.
his love for you shows through affection first and foremost, because you deserve to be loved the way you make him feel.
(this mostly ends up with some odd rumors with the newer recruits, however.)
“my lord, i-“ the entering member begins, only to stop in their tracks at their harbinger’s mussed hair and clearly kiss-dazed expression to the figure stumbling to get out of his lap to no avail.
the door is closed without another thought, and dimitri sends a silent prayer to the tsaritsa that he’ll be alive long enough to tell anya about this.
the man is good, okay? he’s used to using suave words to get what he needs, but to have such charm used in a genuinely loving way is enough to make you melt into the floor (most often, his arms)
even with the onlookers, he doesn’t hesitate to let them know that you’re off the open market with a flurry of kisses on your face or a well-placed remark that sends even the most seasoned agents away quick.
“did you know my s/o is literally the best person in the world?” yes, they’re literally trying to tape your mouth shut childe already a good person in my book
it’s amazing that you’ve managed to survive this long without spontaneous combustion, with how often childe finds reasons to embarrass you to other people.
but, at the end of the day, you and he have each other; he loves the way his love shows on you, and he wants nothing more than for the whole of teyvat to know just how lucky he got when he first met you.
ouu could you do a diluc hanahaki au, i really like how you write for him ^^
(blood, major character death/gn!reader death)
diluc finds the odd purple petals from his throat one morning after serving at the tavern, and closing with you at his heels. your laugh is bright, a sound he hears even after you close your door and bid him goodbye and goodnight until tomorrow.
something inside of him remembers the flowers his father coughed up after the death of his mother, but the view seems almost hazy through his fits.
elzer and adelinde look upon the young master with grave concern, and even the captains can see the strain the darknight hero has been under. though it is not unusual to see the vision bearers of the city under such pressure, there is a fine line that kaeya and jean cannot help but feel concerned when the man who holds such high station stumbles.
but he will never show such weakness near you, not when you look at him with such brightness in your eyes as you tell him about this new plant he could use in his drinks; violetgrass, he thinks as he closes his eyes, letter in his hand fluttering with a single thumbprint of red on your signature.
if only the news had gotten to you sooner; perhaps then you would have come back to mond (and to him, goes unspoken) instead of traversing the cliffs for the freshest violetgrass to bring home to him.
perhaps then, you wouldn’t have slipped on your last foothold while reaching for the perfect flower to send in your next letter, hopefully the letter that tells him everything you’ve been meaning to.
HI MY NAME IS ATLAS!!! UH i’ve only read one of your works bUT i can say with confidence that your writing is genuinely one of the most beautiful styles i’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming. THAT IS SO FORMAL BUT OMG IT IS GORGEOUS???
this is amazing praise n by the stars i am SCREAMING rn i love how you write albedo and i remembered seeing this fic ages ago through the tag but LOST IT
Hii, just a headsup, your masterlist doesnt have a link to anything from mondstadt. Idk if you are aware.
aaaaah thank you for letting me know! i was working on it but primarily using mobile can get irritating sometimes :/ it should be up now, and i’ve edited both by adding a section for multiple characters to cut clutter!
do favorite crime with childe first cuz i want to see what you do with the lyric "all the things i did, just so i could call you mine" 💪😈 i'm preparing my heart for it
so i wrote a prequel to this-
i am writing it, but it’s getting a little long so take this to supplement your angst fixes you heathens/j
“I’ll come back, I promise you.”
“I know what the Fatui do to people like us, Ajax! My father tried to leave for my mother and it got them both back under their thumb until they bargained with my life for theirs!”
Your hands shake while he links his fingers with yours, using his other hand to cup your cheek.
“I have to do this. For Snezhnaya to have the prosperous future it deserves, for us to have the future we deserve, everyone must do their part.”
His blue eyes carry some sort of sadness in their own when you hug him close to your chest, and he returns the sentiment as best as he can.
“....Here.”
He breaks from the embrace to mess with something in his pocket, extending it out to you.
“It’s..” In his hand lay the ruby earrings you had gotten him from a dock merchant on their way to Liyue Harbor. “I thought you gave them to Tonia.”
“I did, but she gave them back.” He let out a small laugh at recalling the memory of his older sister. “It seems that she realized their importance long before I did.”
With a delicate hand, he reaches your ears and fastens one in the right lobe.
“Now, these are very important to me, you hear? An important person in my life gave them to me, and I would certainly like not to anger or disappoint them by losing one or the other.”
Your head is tilted up with a finger, gazes meeting each other from what seems like both miles away and mere centimeters at the same time.
“I will always come back to you. This is my fealty, my sworn promise to you and the future of Snezhnaya, where we can live together in peace for all eternity.”
