Self indulgent cuddles with my main man from Mr Villains Day Off because I have fallen madly in love with him and you cannot convince me that he wouldn't absolutely love a chubby partner to cuddle up to. very self indulgent, this is basically written for me
cw. fluff, cuddles, gender neutral reader, chubby reader, minors DO NOT interact
Your chubby body felt so soft under the curious touch of Shogun's hands. He lay beside you in bed as he watched you beneath the mop of thick hair falling over his eyes, the calloused tips of his fingers walking over your bare torso as you slept soundly beside him. Your skin squished under the gentle prod of his fingers, sharp nails lightly scratching over the curves of your love handles as he gave your body a firm squeeze.
You stirred in your sleep, body pressing closer to him as you sought out the alluring warmth he had to offer. He paused in his ministrations as he watched you fuss in your hazy slumber, muttering a few incoherent words under your breath as your eyes flickered under the lids. You were quick to settle once more as you nestled against the firm wall of muscles of his chest, a hum of content bubbling up the back of your throat. Shogun resumed his exploration once you were comfortable again, your skin warm under the press of his hand as he smoothed the palm over the swell of your plump belly. The cold metal of the rings he wore bit into your sensitive skin, sending a chill to crawl down your spine as goosebumps prickled along your arms. A disgruntled noise rumbled in your chest as you nuzzled your face into his chest, his thunderous heartbeat pulsing rhythmically against your ear as you squished your cheek into a pectoral muscle.
Shogun’s hands continued to wander over the planes and curves over your body, the seam of his lips pressed into a thin line as his fingers trailed over the stretch marks etched into the soft insides of your thick thighs. His eyes followed the tracing of his fingers dipping into the skin. It felt like he was following the current of a bolt of lightning, his fingertips tingling with lingering traces of warmth as he continued to follow the natural dips in your plump body. He silently winced when his fingers traced along the various scars littered over your body, each line telling him a story. Some were tiny and barely even noticeable to the naked eye, yet he could feel the raised flesh when his fingers were directly over the pulse point. Other scars were a lot more noticeable, sharp and rough gouges dug into your skin that frayed at the edges and left lasting marks. He continued to trail his fingers over your body, mapping out the traits that made you so uniquely…you.
He still marvelled at how soft you felt despite the blemishes, or what he would consider rare treasures. The large palm of his hand sank into your skin as he grabbed a handful until the soft pudge spilled between the splayed digits of his fingers, causing you to stir awake as he grabbed your love handles. A soft whine of indignation was muffled into his chest as he squeezed your skin once more, a thoughtful noise rumbling in the back of his throat as he watched you squirm with eyes of honeyed gold.
“Are all humans supposed to be this soft?” he pondered. “Or is it just you?”
Your long lashes fluttered over your warm cheeks as you slowly peeled your eyes open. Warm rays of sunlight kissed your skin, bathing your body with an almost ethereal glow as you peered up at your husband beneath thick lashes. A short huff of air breezed past your lips as you smiled shyly up at him before you nuzzled your face into his chest and cuddled further into him.
“Nope, just me~” you playfully cooed.
A noise of affirmation warbled in Shogun’s throat as he nudged the tip of his nose into the soft tresses of your hair, the scent of passion flower curling deep in the pit of his lungs when he took a deep breath. He squeezed your soft skin again, adoring the cute noises that fell from your parted lips as he fondly played with the pudge of your belly.
“You’re too vulnerable to attacks” he commented, pinching your skin between his fingers and pulling until it snapped back into shape with a soft jiggle.
A soft bout of giggles rumbled in your chest at his odd words but you had gotten used to such oddities over the time you had known your darling husband. Your hands lazily curled into his skin, your fingers tapping into the hard planes of his torso as you ran them along the various tattoos littered over his skin. He enjoyed the contrast over your soft, pliable body against the hard planes of his body. You were so soft and round that your cuteness rivalled his love for the soft, fuzzy cuteness of his favoured animal; the panda. Your fingers danced over the planes of his chest as your lips brushed against his skin, causing his breath to hitch at the soft touch as delicate as rose petals.
“That’s why I have my strong husband to protect me~” you chimed.
The corners of his mouth twitched into a smile at your words. He wrapped his strong arms around your torso in a hug as he settled into hugging you more, his fingers trailing along the notches of your spine as the warmth he provided seeped into your skin. He hummed in agreement as he pressed his lips to your forehead, eyes slipping close as he nestled into the softness of your body. His ears pricked forward as you sighed in content, fingers pressing into the tired muscles of his aching body as you massaged the tension from them. Wisps of his hair tickled your cheek as he relaxed further, his body draping over you almost like a weighted blanket as he purred like a contented cat.
“The strong must protect the sweet” he murmured into your hair, mimicking words he remembered you speaking early into the relationship.
You giggled softly again as you let your eyes slip close and let sleep call to you once more, intent on staying cuddled up to your husband all morning. After all, it was his day off.
i had to. i feel like this scenario in the game would be so funny. ei is ur sister here btw
auntie!ei, whos so clueless at first. you just had a second kid, and you need your sister to watch your first. she takes the child with a little hesitation, first plotting a route to wherever miko might be to help her with the three year old shes holding by the hand.
auntie!ei, who doesn't know whats wrong and whats right until its explained to her. what do you mean a three year old can't hold a polearm with supervision? doesn't stop her from doing it. she's a cool ass auntie
auntie!ei, who accidentally spoils the child. she makes miko buy things for the kid, but miko doesn't care. the kids too cute, and ei taught her how to say "auntie ei" and "miss/auntie miko." the child comes back to you every so often with a new toy or an imitation of eis weapon (obviously after ei told you the whole story).
auntie!ei, who gets asked if thats her kid. she's been seen with the child in the past (considering ei is the kids aunt...) and people never dared to ask. but, now that the child is waving and running up to random people, shes kinda put in that position. she usually answers with "no, my sister told me to watch her again. i am the auntie."
auntie!ei, who takes the child to different islands sometimes. whether thats giving kokomi a heart attack surprise visit at the resistance or going through the purple grasses of serai island. she always ensures the child arriving home safely that night or next day, and you don't seem to mind if they're both safe.
auntie!ei, who wants to keep the kid sometimes. thats why week long sleepovers exist! all of the vision weilders of inazuma know of this childs existence and some are allowed to visit. who are we kidding, all of inazuma knows of the child. back onto sleepovers, ei doesn't care. she likes keeping the child for a little while, because they make her so happy! even though they can't talk many words, the fact that she was so lucky to be this kids auntie makes her heart feel warm inside.
hiiii if it's not too much to ask, can you write some fluff hc with Raiden or Ayaka. I hope you have a nice day!!! <3
Fluff Headcanons with Raiden and Ayaka
Characters: Ayaka and Raiden Shogun x GN!Reader.
Warnings: None that apply!
Notes: I love these two with my whole heart, they're very soft when they're in love <3
You and Ayaka often enjoy strolling through the streets of Inazuma together, hand in hand, because Ayaka is always searching for more ways to be close to you. You savor the peaceful moments, relishing in each other's company and the beauty of the city's architecture while you walk down the paths, the breeze caressing your cheeks and you delight in the sounds of the bustling city around you, by the hand of the one you love the most.
During chilly evenings, you and Ayaka share warm cups of tea at the Kamisato Estate. You often find yourselves having deep and really interesting conversations about your dreams, fears, and aspirations for the future. Sharing personal stories and experiences always makes your bond with her bloom, and you feel safer and more comfortable with her as the time passes.
Ayaka loves to show you around Inazuma's stunning gardens and natural landscapes. Ayaka is very passionate when it comes to nature, given the little time she has to spend outside, and she treasures these stolen moments in time with you. You spend hours together, as many as Ayaka can spare, marveling at the beautiful flowers and the colorful and lively animals, making precious memories together neither of you will forget.
Sometimes, you and Ayaka indulge in light-hearted snowball fights during winter in Inazuma. Growing up, Ayaka didn’t really have the time to play like other kids when it was snowing outside, and you’ve made it your mission to have her experience as many wonderful and fun things as you can with her, winter included! Laughter fills the air as you playfully chase each other through the snow-covered streets, and she treasures these moments of fun with you.
Ayaka is an excellent chef, and she often surprises you with delightful homemade meals. You have private and little cooking competitions together, trying to outdo each other in the kitchen, but it always ends in giggles and shared delicious treats. Thoma sometimes joins as the culinary expert and judges your dishes, and you’re starting to suspect it’s a little strange how Ayaka seems to win more often than not. When Ayato joins the games though, the results tend to be more fair!
You teach Ayaka new customs and traditions from your homeland to her, she’s an avid learner and she always enjoys learning about you and your culture; and Ayaka introduces you to Inazuma's unique culture, her love and passion for her nation always manages to warm your heart. You both grow from the experience, deepening your understanding of each other's backgrounds and life stories, and you feel more connected to her than before.
You and Ayaka take breaks from your adventurous duties to lie on a grassy hill whenever Ayaka manages to steal the time from her busy schedule. You love to gaze at the stars, holding her hand softly in yours. You two talk about your wishes and hopes for the future, feeling the comfort of being understood and supported by the person you love the most in the entirety of the world.
Ayaka surprises you with impromptu picnics in picturesque spots around Inazuma when she can spare the time, always helped by Ayato to make the delicious treats she’ll share with you. You savor the serene moments together, cherishing the simple joys of life as the gentle breeze plays with your hair.
Sometimes, you and Ayaka participate in friendly sparring matches to stay in shape, an activity that she loves more than she says. You push each other to become stronger, all while having fun and cheering the other on. You learn so much from her, and she learns from your fighting technique too. And after sparring, you can always enjoy a comforting bath together.
If you and Ayaka happen to share a love for poetry, you often exchange heartfelt verses you've written for one another, writing down your affection through beautiful words and voicing them for the other’s ears only. It made you feel a bit embarrassing at first but you’ve grown to love the intimacy of these moments with her, simply sharing what’s in your heart and how loved she always makes you feel.
Despite her stern and composed exterior, Ei secretly enjoys spending quiet and serene moments with you, finding solace in your presence. She’s used to being alone, having been so for quite some time now, more than you can comprehend. But you’ve managed to make yourself at home within the frozen chambers of her heart, and she finds comforting the moments she steals to be with you.
You often find Ei lost in her thoughts, contemplating the burdens of leadership and the responsibilities that come with her role, so you’re always ready to offer a listening ear and a comforting shoulder for her to lean on during these moments of vulnerability, and Ei appreciates your support, affection and understanding more than words can say.
Ei and you share a love for traditional music, especially for Inazuman cultural music, and sometimes you play soothing melodies together. It’s not often it happens, but whenever you find the time now, you love making a calming atmosphere together that lets Ei momentarily escape her duties and simply relax and be herself with you.
You bring little treats and snacks from other regions to her, knowing how much she loves sweets, introducing Ei to new flavors and culinary experiences! She deeply, deeply appreciates these thoughtful gestures and finds herself smiling more in your company. Is it yourself by her side or is it that you bring her sweets?
Ei and you engage in philosophical discussions about the nature of power and the importance of compassion in leadership, things that she struggles with after recent events. You want to be there to share your opinion, even if not as throughout as hers is, but you’ll always be there to offer the more humane side of the conversation so she can balance her decisions. Through these conversations, you both learn from each other's perspectives and grow together, and Ei always loves listening to you and sharing your opinions together.
Despite her disciplined nature, Ei is not immune to the joys of occasional playfulness, as one would think! You often catch her smiling softly at your lighthearted antics, her sharp eyes softening on yours only. You cherish these rare glimpses of her lighter side, knowing she only allows herself to be soft and gentle when it’s you around her, her safe place in this world.
Ei appreciates your sincerity and honesty above basically all else, and she appreciates too that you are unafraid to voice your true feelings and opinions to her. You’re not scared that she’s the lightning archon, you’ve grown past that and seen her for who she really is. This openness that you have with her blooms a deep trust she places on you only, making your relationship and bond to her stronger still.
You encourage Ei to take breaks from her duties and go on small excursions with you outside the realm of the Electro Archon's responsibilities, since she’s always stuck in the Plane of Euthymia and you know it’s good for her to take a break now and then. These moments let Ei experience life as a regular person, like another human (maybe not an ordinary one!), away from the weight of leadership. Ei appreciates these moments of easy life with you and secretly wishes it could be like that more often.
Ei and you enjoy stargazing together too, always finding peace and wonder in the night sky and the stars that color the vault above. You share stories about the stars, the galaxies, the constellations, the ancient stories buried behind them; and you create your own constellations too, drawing with your fingers in the sky the shape of the stars, measured only by the amount of love the bond between the two of you carries.
Sometimes, you leave small notes or poems for Ei to find throughout the day, especially on the days you know she’s going to be especially more tired or bothered by current events. These heartfelt gestures and lovely words of affection never fail to bring a soft smile to the Electro Archon's face, reminding her that she is cherished and cared for, no matter how busy she is, by someone who means the world to her.

author’s note ⊱ i just needed this so i wrote it lol
aether
notices you feel pretty off, and then when you finally crack open, bursting into tears, he’s instinctually, immediately, falling right to your side as if he was always meant to be there, like he’s your guardian angel with golden wings
“whoa, whoa, hey... hey, hey... it’s okay...” he clasps you tight to his body, resting his chin over your shoulder as he just holds you, concerned and worried and—archons, he just wants you to be alright
he’ll listen and listen and he’ll accept it all without judgement, making affirmative noises and asking questions to help him understand your situation better
“here, let’s go and get some fresh air, sit in the grass for a while... i think it’ll help a lot.” he suggests, as you become more calm, and then he squeezes your hand with his own, leading you somewhere that inspires a sense of calm
pets your hair and tucks stray strands out of your face
he always gives advice, of which ends up being really good, and often unexpected
you think that there is no advice that someone could give you that could help you with your situation, but he always says something creative and different that has you seeing things from a completely different perspective
ultimately, it always helps
gives you lots and lots of hugs, until you’re giggling and smiling from how sweetly and tightly he squeezes you
ei (raiden shogun / baal)
she touches a hand to your back, as if trying to carry the same weight that is crushing you under
“you’ve been carrying this for so long,” she says softly, voice leaving her in a soothing tone that passes through your soul like a comforting touch of wind. “allow me to assist you in whatever way i can.”
gives you anything you ask for; she will make promises that may seem impossible to keep, but they are vows she will honor and always carry through
wraps her arms over your shoulders and tucks you into her body; you will either end up resting together, quietly, beneath sakura blossoms, or walking side-by-side in close company until the worries fall dead at your feet
kisses your eyelids when you cry, rests her chin over your head and cradles you
gentle and soothing, and she will keep all others away from the two of you during this time, but some of the people may offer you gentle gifts and offerings as they observe your tired stride when in company of the shogun
ganyu
at first, she’s surprised when you suddenly burst into tears, but within moments she’s dropping everything, worriedly hovering over your face
“are you alright?” she says gently, concern heavy in her voice as she examines your damp cheeks and weeping eyes
she will gently pull out a handkerchief from her purse and gently wipe your tears, guiding you both to sit down together; she will encourage you to blow your nose and to use the cloth however you pleased
rubs your back the whole time, coos at you softly, “there, there... it’s going to be okay. i know it doesn’t seem like it now, but... everything is going to work out, i promise. i’ll do everything i can to help.”
listens to you patiently and with sympathy, brushing hair out of your face and nodding along with full attention, brow furrowed with thought as she problem solves in her head
she soothes you with gentle words and praise, “i know it seems like you really messed up, but i know you... you’re kind, and brave, and you work really hard. i know for certain that this isn’t as bad as it seems, it’s going to be alright. you’re so persevering, that way.”
it isn’t long before she manages to get you smiling again, even if you’re still sniffling; she’ll hold your hands and guide you to your feet, and suggest the two of you get some warm tea and go look at flowers together, because she knows it’s the perfect thing to make you feel better
childe
the moment he sees your lip beginning to quiver, his arrogance and sharpness immediately melts away and he’s leaning closer, evidently worried
“hey, what’s—oh.”
and he realizes that you’re crying, and something is bothering you, and the first thing he thinks about is who did this, who hurt you? and the next thing he’s doing is he’s pulling you into a hug, letting you cry out into his chest
“you’re going to be okay.” his voice turns soft, but it is firm and knowing, as if, even if it’s not okay now, childe will do everything in his power to make it be.
strokes your hair and rubs your back, probably sways a little side to side and hums an old lullaby he knows while you’re in his arms
he tries to make you laugh with softer jokes, but he listens with surprising attentiveness and silence
makes you some hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows, whipped cream, and some sprinkles for fun, encouraging you to relax and drink something that feels nostalgic and warm and comforting
generally turns to cooking for comfort, offering you some homemade soup or handmade bread, or anything that happens to strike your fancy, like a dessert or a drink
kisses you on the forehead a lot, and says gently, “i’m always going to be here, you know that, right?”
you had decided yesterday to make hot chocolate with ei today, so as soon as you woke up you went and gathered all the ingredients. once you had everything, you went to go wake up ei and tell her your plans for today.
it didn’t take long for her to wake up once you stepped into her room, and you wished her a good morning before telling her to get dressed so you two could go make some hot chocolate together. she looked excited at the prospect of enjoying a sweet drink with her dear creator, so she quickly got up as you left the room so she could get dressed in peace.
about five minutes later she walked out of the door and you two made your way to the kitchen. when you got there, you grabbed the milk and started heating it up so the chocolate would melt. while you waiting for it to heat up enough, you started chopping the chocolate up into smaller pieces.
by the time you had all the chocolate chopped up, the milk was boiling. you gathered up all the bits of chocolate and dumped them into the pot. while you stirred the mixture, you turned to ei and started talking with her about what else she wanted to do today. after a short conversation, the hot chocolate was ready.
you got two mugs, whipped cream, some peppermint, and some marshmallows out, then grabbed a ladle to serve the drink with. you handed her the first mug, and then got yourself one as well. you put whipped cream on both of the mugs, then let her put the rest of the toppings on hers.
you both went into the living room with your hot chocolate in hand, and got a few card games out to play while you enjoyed the hot chocolate together.
synopsis -> you knew ei had her secrets, and you did too. but what you didn't know was that you weren't even with her.
warnings -> angst, some crying, ei might be ooc but i had this idea and i just had to go with it... comfort at the end thoooo! i got inspired for the title by a writing prompt shhhhhh
w/c -> 3.0k
500 years.
it’s been 500 years since you fought side by side with raiden ei and raiden makoto. the cataclysm- the event that not only killed people of society,
but killed archons, too. and one of those killed were ei’s sister.
you were there when she witnessed her sisters dying breath. you were there to hold ei as makoto's heartbeat slowly faded away. and you were there as long as she needed you to be afterwards.
you were her lover for centuries beforehand.
until, she locked herself in the plane of euthymia, to pursue eternity and show no mind to the chaos destroying inazuma. the raging storms, the vision hunt decree, inazuma was a horrific place to live.
you never necessarily understood the reason why ei decided to close off from the real world and enter a state of eternal meditation. you never understood her status, no matter how many times yae miko would explain it to you. she was somebody you did not understand, despite your age and your wisdom.
you understand what people coming and going is. you’ve seen birth, and you’ve seen death, all in a never-ending cycle. out with the old, in with the new. you’ve seen the fashion trends over the past few decades, and you remember nearly everything since the cataclysm.
but all you know is that ever since miko showed ei how to place her consciousness in objects, she created the plane of euthymia. sometimes, you wonder if she’s forgotten about you, and everything you’ve done before way back when. you wonder if she still recalls all of the moments you’ve shared together, all of the hugs and kisses and love. if she can still recall the way sleeping in each others embrace felt.
you wonder if she can even feel.
you wondered a lot of things. that was, until she had come out of her rest when the traveler arrived in inazuma. you’d watched from afar, unamused, but also slightly alarmed by her sudden appearance. it’s been so long… part of you wanted to go down there and see what would happen after the duel occurred. yae miko came to stand next to you, giggling a little bit.
“ah, poor traveler. i wonder if they’ll ever realize just how strong their opponent is,” miko huffed. “when shall mortals learn? or, unless, they aren’t a mortal?”
you nodded, comprehending that possibility. “i doubt they’re mortal. mortals understand who to mess with and who not to mess with. they’re so timid, they won’t even approach a treasure hoarder, nevertheless a god.”
miko patted your back with a book before walking down the cliff the two of you observed at. “i’m heading off now, i expect you’ll join me soon?”
“well, where are you going?” you turn over your shoulder, eyeing the pink haired fox.
“back to the tree. the shrine maidens seemed lost this morning. i need to help them out.”
“yes, i’ll come soon. i’d like to get a closer look on whats going on, and maybe attempt to resalvage things between me and ei. it’s not often she comes out of her conscience,” you end, as a gust of wind blows through your hair and makes the branches of the surrounding trees dance. “if, per say, that’s even her.”
miko stops in her tracks, back still faced to you. “i almost forgot you two were lovers. that was eras ago. many centuries. i’m surprised you still remember.”
“i remember an extent of things. i remember when you were new to the city, lady guuji. ah, so small you were, your ears seemed to flop down on you. go on now, i should start towards the city.”
yae simply chuckled before waving goodbye. you waved back, starting your short trek to the inner city.
it’s been a while since you’ve been here, walking the streets of inazuma. normally, stall owners would load your arms and bags with items of gratitude, but not today. today, shops were closed, and people hid in their homes with fear. you couldn’t blame them, the almighty shogun coming out of hiding was one thing, but for her to be actively attacking a wandering traveler was another. nobody wanted to be her next victim, for you yourself even knew nobody and their mothers would survive even a single hit from her blade.
as you come upon the battlefield, you see random passersby looking for drama, and the traveler lying on the ground with their floating companion frantically tapping at their arm.
you stop, in clear view to the rest of the people surrounding the traveler. the floating human seemed to pick up that you were important, due to the vision hanging off your belt. she squealed at you, motioning for you to come over and help the traveler. before you started to move, you lock eyes with the purple haired woman.
ei.
but was that really ei? she seemed too menacing to be the calm, gentle woman you once knew. you nodded at her, and she nodded back before simply disappearing into thin air.
the next day was a blur. you walked back to the same spot at the same time as yesterday, only to see everything as clear as it was the day after. the streets bustled with liveliness, shop owners attempting to sell people everything and anything they can. you, yourself, had little bottles of dango milk in a bag on one arm and a loaf of fresh baked bread in the other, due to the vendors admiration and kindness. you thanked each one of them with a smile and a little tip, because you felt bad taking their things without them getting any pay.
you put everything in your arms down on a nearby bench before walking towards the statue that stood tall and proud in the middle of the city, sighing as you notice two more visions being put up in the span of the week.
you walked up the ramp and touched the statue, seeing if it would cause any such reaction to bring your past lover back. you had an idea- try to unlodge one of the visions out of the crevasses.
when you did that, a purple glow shone behind you as a blade was put to your back. you could feel the electricity through your clothes, but you simply laugh in amusement and turn around to be met with the one and only raiden shogun.
ei.
or, so you thought.
you never necessarily knew a puppet was created to rule in ei’s place. she was a mirror image, no difference to the real person. just a difference in her personality. did puppets even have personalities?
“long time no see, ei,” you smile, showing your hands, coming up empty. she lowered her blade when she realized you had taken no vision. “how have things been all these centuries?”
she looked at you, taking you to a more secluded area of inazuma. it seemed, as for being a puppet, she had a good sense of who you are. maybe she was coded to be that way. you’ve noticed the aggression she’s showed to miko in the past though, which you thought was kind of wack.
“they’ve certainly been… rather peaceful, being alone in meditation,” she started, putting a light hand on your shoulder.
her touch didn’t feel right, but you brushed it off.
“i’ve missed you. i thought you left, hence why i never came to look for you.”
you giggle, taking the hand off of your shoulder and holding it. “i’ve missed you too. the bed has felt very cold without you beside me all these years. to say i have gotten used to it would be a lie.”
she nodded, removing her hand. “would you like to walk around with me for a little while? i haven’t seen the city in a long time.”
“oh, of course. i could also take you to see yae miko, if you’d like. she still talks about you pretty often.”
and then the two of you went off, hand in hand. but hers felt rather stiff. once again, you brushed it off with a sigh.
“miko, have you noticed anything… different about ei recently? that is, if you’ve seen her,” you turn around from assisting a shrine maiden and looking at the fox, raising an eyebrow.
she shrugs. “all of my encounters with her were when you were with me. i do not recall running into her alone.”
you get back to work, thoroughly explaining to a lost maiden on how the tree works. must be a newbie, you thought, maybe someone miko brought on not too long ago. you knew she had a tendency for finding new maidens, and sending the elder ones off on their own with a hefty sum of mora to allow them to settle.
“she seemed stiff today. she didn’t seem as genuine as she usually was, or at least back all those years ago. have you caught onto that too?”
“yes, i have. i’m as lost as you are, y/n,” miko puts a gentle hand on your cheek. “but you might not be able to go back to the past, you know. theres always that lingering possibility that she’s moved on long ago.”
you shuddered at that thought. the woman you’ve spent decades, centuries, millenniums with, to just move on? you put that to the back of your mind before smiling lightly at miko. she was able to sense your pain after having said that sentence, but she didn’t bother to pry. it wasn’t her spot.
“well… i guess that could happen…” you removed mikos hand, walking to the edge of the cliff, taking a seat. miko followed, sitting down next to you, overlooking the horizon. “i just hope she’s not trying to fake a relationship to make me happy. she remembers me, but she doesn’t remember much about the time we’ve spent together. i’d ask her about our wedding, and she was barely able to recall.”
you unclip the mini keychain stringing down from your vision. “she’s not wearing her matching one, either. she’d normally wear it on her hip.” the keychain was a gorgeous gold with purple feathers weaved through the chains, with a purple fading into lavender feather danging from the bottom of it. you put it close up to your chest before sighing, tears threatening to spill. miko pulled you into an embrace, allowing those tears to spill, and holding you while you mourned.
mourned over the fact that your wife is no longer your wife.
mourned over the woman you once loved.
mourned over a relationship that couldn’t be fixed or brought back together.
mourned over the lies that were about to be revealed.
you awoke to a groggy feeling. it felt like you took too much benadryl- you didn’t even think you had it in you to get up.
you look over to your side, seeing the small bottle left on your nightstand. you pick it up, twirling it around in your hands, before reading the label.
hi, dear y/n, if you’re wondering why you’re so tired, well…
i had decided to give you this medication to help you clear your mind. do you recall anything from last night? or the previous night?
you have your long-term memories, but i allowed myself to let things slip that weren’t for your ears, so i had our wonderful alchemist bring up a potion to confuse you just a little bit. this will wear off by tonight, so do not worry about being this way forever.
sincerely, miko.
you groaned, forcefully putting the bottle back down on your side table before rolling over and forcing yourself to get up. once you get up, you slide on a pair of slippers and go make breakfast. you found it rather hard to recall certain recipes, so you stuck with tamago (eggs) instead.
as you ate, you had a weird flashback to the night before. miko said this was guaranteed to remove all memory from yesterday, but you can still remember the things she said as you cried into her arms.
and one of those statements stuck out.
“you’re currently with the shogun, her puppet, but you’ll figure that out soon.”
your eyes widen as you leave your plate abandoned, finding that bottle and rushing out the door to where you’d normally meet “ei.” once you got there, you spotted miko and the puppet conversing. when you approach, miko looks rather surprised, and the puppet seemed confused.
“explain the bottle, miko,” you pull it out of your pocket, shoving it at her before clearing your throat.
“‘you’re currently with the shogun, her puppet, but you’ll figure that out soon.’”
miko could only laugh before walking closer to you, bringing you into the real ei’s consciousness.
you never realized how isolated ei really was until you stepped foot in this place. it had no smell, and all you could hear was distant thunder. you looked over to the purple haired woman, who was meditating in midair.
“ei, i brought a visitor,” miko walked closer to her, as she picked up her head and looked over to you. ei’s eyes widened, dropping to the ground and hastily walking towards you.
“...y/n.” ei held your face in her hands gently, but this time it felt genuine.
this was the real ei.
“hello, ei,” you nod, slightly shaking free of her grasp before showing her the keychain worn on your vision. “do you still have yours?”
ei pulled it off her waistband, which was matching to yours, but instead of purple feathers they were teal. “i wouldn’t get rid of it for anything. you see, i’ve thought about you long and hard down here, in my state of eternal meditation. to say i’ve missed you would be an understatement.”
“then why would you trick me into being with your puppet?” you questioned her, in which she sighed and turned around to face the shogun.
“i didn’t know if you’d understand what my motives are, so i sent her up to act like she’s me and that everything could be the way it used to be. because i knew that it would make you happy to see me again,” she turned back around. “but i guess… it went the wrong way.”
“that it did, ei. i knew it wasn’t you, but i didn’t want to believe it. so i stuck with the shogun incase, with just that little chance that it could’ve been you, but not yet warmed up to the new inazuma or me quite yet.”
ei nodded, gripping the keychain just a little bit harder.
“do you think you could forgive me for abandoning you the way i did? i know we were married, and i still remember everything about our relationship, and i still…” ei trailed off, looking up at the purple clouds above. “i still love you, just like i used to.”
you sighed, looking down at her hand, gripping the chain even harder now. “i might be able to. but only if you come out of this place every once in a while to see me. you do not have to be with me the way we used to, but i’d like to see you every so often.” you then turn to miko. “now, you. you know i’m smarter than that to fall for a lie. why would you lie?”
miko laughed once more, setting the bottle into the shoguns arms. “well, i wanted to see how long it would take for you to snap and get over it. really, it was an experiment on if you still held loyalty to the woman you once loved.”
it all clicked in your mind now. you had no idea if ei was in on this, but it started to make sense. it felt cruel but refreshing at the same time. you chuckled, turning away from everyone and taking a few steps forward, watching as lightning struck all around the red piece of land you’re on. how lonely, you thought.
“this is a very isolated place, ei. i couldn’t even imagine how you can enjoy something such as this,” you watch as more lightning strikes, making a fierce sound rumble in the distance. you look down at your vision, then back at the horizon. “and you’ve been here for the past few centuries. i applaud your dedication.”
she nods, laughing. “eternity to me is what the world is. i will fight for eternity forever.”
“i know. that’s how it’s always been,” you turn around. “would you come out of here for a day? i would love to show you inazuma city, and how much it had changed in these years.”
ei nodded slowly, before bringing herself and all the rest of you out of the plane of euthymia.
she seemed to enjoy the outside world a lot more than you’d thought she would.
“y/n…” she smiled, looking around the city. “this has changed very drastically from the last time i’ve walked these roads with you. the fashion trends have changed very much, too.”
you and miko share a look before she starts to speak. “of course it’s changed. you haven’t seen this place in decades, ei.”
you nod with mikos statement, a sigh leaving ei’s mouth before she gripped your hand tight, a silent vow to never let you down in the way she had again.
and just like that, months fly by. occasionally, she’ll be in her plane. but mostly, she’ll be in the present world with you, in your luxurious abode in the inner city, continuing your marriage happily.
Warnings: Reader is GN. No gender or pronouns mentioned, except the fact that they’re pregnant.
A/N: The request, “ hello there!! 😁 can you write for how ningguang, ganyu, lisa, ei and miko would be around their pregnant S/O ???!! thank you in advance.” I absolutely adored the concept 💕 It was super fluffy, adorable and I had such a great time writing it.
She would be the sweetest person ever, more than she already is. If she’s around (and she is, most of the time) you are not lifting a finger.
She would request Ningguang for a shortened daily schedule while you’re pregnant. Not entirely, she only asks to have a little bit of time in the morning to cook breakfast for you and wake you up with a kiss before she leaves for work, and to come back in time to make dinner for the two of you to share together at a reasonable time before bed. Ningguang obviously complies, given how Ganyu had never in her three thousand years of working for the Qixings asked for any modification in her schedule.
She would be reluctant to tell Cloud Retainer at first, but you encouraged her to do so, and once she did, Cloud Retainer is constantly paying visits to the two of you, always babbling something about artifacts she’s building and testing for when your kid is born. She’s very excited to be an aunt, and Ganyu won’t admit it but she enjoys seeing her mentor be this openly happy for her.
Ganyu is usually a shy person, her love language being acts of service, so when you’re pregnant her acts of service multiply endlessly. You’re not lifting a finger as long as she’s around. She makes the bed, breakfast and dinner, she joins you in the bath and helps you wash your body and your hair, she walks around Liyue with you with an ever-present happy smile hanging on her lips and her arm carefully around yours.
She won’t tell you right away, but you’ve been with Ganyu long enough to notice the slightest changes in her mood, and soon you’ll notice she’s somewhat anxious about the baby. It’s going to have Qilin blood like her, what if the kid has a hard time finding their place in the world like Ganyu? What if the child has horns too and they grow to dislike it? What if they don’t inherit Ganyu’s immortality? She wouldn’t stand losing her beloved and her child in the same lifetime. What if she’s simply not cut out to be a mother?
You know your way around Ganyu’s emotions. So you settle down with her on the bed, your hands carefully holding her face, thumbs stroking her skin right underneath her eyes, and she stares at you when you tell her that it’s going to be okay. That she’ll be an amazing and loving mother. That the kid will be perfect, and even if things don’t go right all the time, you have each other to figure everything out together. It takes her some reassuring, but soon Ganyu feels like yes, everything will be okay, and you’ll be even happier together than you are now.
Hurt/comfort aside, Ganyu would try to build a crib but fail miserably. She ends up asking Shenhe for help and she builds the most perfect crib in a single evening. Shenhe doesn’t express herself much, but Ganyu knows she’s looking forward to being called auntie soon <3
Overall, Ganyu is super excited and nervous, but more excited to meet your child and hold them in her arms as soon as she can. She’s ready to love them forever.
She would be very confused at first. As an Archon, she’s well aware of how humans come to be and how they grow into adults, but as a God, she has never been expecting a child or been in a position of taking care of someone who is, so she’s fairly confused and unsure.
She asks Miko a million questions. Up to the point where Miko dreads seeing Ei walking to the Grand Narukami Shrine in fear of being questioned about human babies again.
Ei is super careful with you. She was before too, but ever since she learned that pregnancy makes that many changes to your body, she treats you like you’re made of porcelain. She doesn’t let you lift a finger, of course. You want to go to the other side of the Tenshukaku? She’s bridal carrying you. You want to take a nap? She’s bringing you into her plane of Euthymia where absolutely no one can bother you. You want to eat a specific dish? She’ll have the best chef in town come to the Tenshukaku especially for you. You want to take a bath? She’ll be right with you, making sure you have everything at your disposal.
She delegates most of her most time-consuming tasks to her subordinates, everything she can spare to have more time to spend with you. Ei knows how flickering fast a human life can be, and she wishes to get the most out of this experience with you. So she makes sure to always be next to you somehow, either having a picnic together, going on a stroll through Inazuma or writing reports with you resting on her lap. She always has to be touching you somehow.
Ei spends a lot of time meditating, too. Now more than ever does Ei want to make Inazuma a safe place where everyone can smile and live a happy life, a nation that’s welcoming towards change and the endless possibilities of a prosperous future. She wants to build a world that’ll be good enough for your child.
She, the God Ei, the Raiden Shogun, Beelzebub, the Electro Archon of Inazuma, cried when you told her you’d be naming the child ‘Makoto’ when it’s born. She held you so tightly you thought you were going to break, and you brushed her tears with your thumbs, and Ei told you she had never wished for eternity more in her long life, a forever made of happy moments with you and your little family.
It’s no secret to her that Ei has a complicated past and that conditions her view of the future. She’s witnessed the death and parting of most of the people she’s ever loved, so she confesses to you her most sensitive fears on a stormy night. She’s a fighter, hardly a lover, what if she’s not made to care for a child? What if there’s a war and she must watch her most precious thing in the world pass away like she once did with Makoto?
You’re quick to reassure her, hands in her hair and the gentlest smile drawn over your lips, that she is a good lover and she will be an even better mother. She will make an Inazuma that her sister would be proud of, that her child will enjoy, and where she’ll finally find the peace she so dearly deserves and craves. Ei cries in your arms as you hold her, but you know what she feels in her chest is relief and affection, excitement for what’s to come.
A life with you and your child, such a beautiful dream. Ei can’t wait to make this dream her everyday reality.
Miko grows very, very protective of you. Extremely so. You’re walking around Inazuma and she notices a person staring at you? She’s giving them the deadliest stare that could make the earth crack under their feet. Someone made you upset? She tracks them down and pulls her threads so an unfortunate event leaves them in misery. Someone brushes your shoulder while you’re walking? She brushes them with her fingers and makes thunderbolts crack inside their bones. Not deadly, of course. She wouldn’t be that mean <3
She reads every. single. book. on how to care for human babies. Miko knows how to raise fox envoys, of course, but she wants to be extra prepared in case the baby comes out being human. She rushes Ei into dismantling the Sakoku Decree and quickly has the Tenryou Commission importing books on nursery and childcare into Inazuma for her research.
Miko opens a new branch of books at her Publishing House: books for kids, parenting books, books to read during pregnancy, you name it. She sets up a contest to encourage the people of Inazuma to share their knowledge with the world and, of course, with her.
She treats you with the utmost care. Miko doesn’t really drop her flirty nature around you, in fact it feels as if she enhanced it somehow. She’s constantly throwing compliments at you, brushing your hair for you, leaving kisses on the back of your neck, on your ears, on your fingers. She loves to feel you near.
At your demand, Miko will let you hug her tail to sleep. It’s the fluffiest thing you have ever touched, it’s like embracing the softest of clouds, and Miko thinks it’s adorable how peaceful and content you look while hugging it as you drift off. However, you’re completely forbidden to mention this to anyone. No one would believe you either way, right?
Miko really really enjoys reading to your tummy. She could spend hours on end simply lying next to you, reading out loud the latest book she picked up, imagining how your kid will look like when it’s actually there. She loves ghosting her fingers over your belly, and you always chuckle at the slight raise of her fox ears when she feels the baby kicking her hand.
Overall, Miko is endlessly excited for this new adventure in her life. She knows every day will be an amusing one from now on.
Lisa grows softer around you. She’s all gentle kisses to your hair, holding your hand when you’re walking, embracing you from behind when you’re cooking, playing with your hair right before going to sleep. This woman needs to be touching you somehow, her love language is physical affection, after all.
She isn’t overwhelmingly attentive towards you. Lisa knows you can defend yourself alright and that you’re not frail in the slightest. However, she always makes sure to be around in case you need assistance with anything— Reaching up for something on a high shelf, leaning down to open a drawer, carrying heavy things, etc.
She would read all the books about nursery and parenting, but truth is, she already has. Lisa has read every single book in that library of hers, so she’s well prepared for every and any eventuality. Still, she rereads the books with you if you ask her of it, to ease your mind and to bond with you over having a kid soon.
Lisa is very vocal about her emotions, but not as much with her feelings, so for a couple of weeks you wouldn’t notice the subtle change in her mood. Only after a restless night did Lisa open up to you in the safety of your shared bed. Her vision came with a price, something you know well. She found a book years ago that promised her an unbelievable power in exchange for half of her lifespan, and Lisa thought it was a deal worth taking at the time. Now, with your arms wrapped around her neck and her hands softly caressing your belly, she feels nothing but guilt. She would leave behind the gentlest soul she has ever met and her own child. But you hold her a little bit tighter, Lisa finding her favorite place to rest under your chin, and your voice sounds calm and overflowing with affection when you reassure her that it will be okay. You knew of that before you fell in love with her, before you decided to have the child, and your love for her is so worth it nonetheless. You’ll raise a happy child and live a happy life to the very last day, and that’s all that matters. Lisa is content with this and she eventually falls asleep with your hands on her hair.
On a happier note, all of the Knights of Favonius are endlessly excited for you two. Klee is already making drawings of the baby, Kaeya and Rosaria are discussing which wine they should give you as congratulations when the baby is born, Eula has proudly promised she won’t let any other kid pick on yours, and Jean has repeatedly offered her assistance in any possible way you might need her. They’re all a big family waiting for the newest member to arrive.
Lisa is overjoyed that you chose to be with her, however much time left she’s allowed, and make every second of her life the happiest she can be.
Ningguang would have you move to the Jade Chamber while you’re pregnant. She wants you to be around her at all times while also having her privacy, but she needs to make sure you’re in a safe place where all your necessities will be met in an impeccable manner.
She builds a nursery room in the Jade Chamber. Is it professional? No. Does she care? No. Is anyone able to confront her about it? Also no. Ningguang looks forward to spending time with her child while also being efficient with her work, so this was one of the best solutions she came to think of.
Ningguang would spoil you rotten. You want a specific dish? She’s taking you to the finest restaurant in town and paying up front for the whole restaurant so no one can bother you while you enjoy the meal together. You want a dress that fits you better because your tummy is growing? She imports the finest silk from Teyvat to make you as many dresses or outfits as you wish to have. You want her to go to bed with you but she hasn’t finished with her workload yet? Ningguang will hire a fourth secretary to delegate her delayed work to and have the time to go call it a night with you and cuddle under the covers.
She tasks Ganyu with reading all the books about raising a child, pregnancy and nursery and then write an extremely efficient and detailed report for her to study it. She wishes to be an exemplary mother that excels in caring for her child and her partner.
Ningguang is usually straightforward, so she would confess to you that she has some reservations when it comes to the future. She didn’t have parents to serve as role models to follow, she raised herself on the streets and learned to beg for money and then to earn it herself. She never had an adult to lean on, to show her affection, to praise her when she did right and scold her when she did wrong. Ningguang knows she’s a well-adjusted person, but she wishes to be only the best for you and your child, and she fears she might not know what to do sometimes. You take her hands in yours and draw silhouettes on them with the pad of your thumb. You reassure her it’s going to be alright. Even more so, you’re one hundred percent certain that she will be the best mother any child can have. You knows your kid will never be left unprotected and they will grow having everything, all because of the splendid mother they’ll have.
Ningguang is eagerly and patiently waiting to meet your child, who she knows will be the most precious thing she’ll have among all the priceless things she owns.
