Real talk. I have thoughts. Do yâall keep the paper airplane in ol2? Because I sure do :)
âYou kept it?â They ask, the contrast of dark nails against the off white paper. Itâs crumpled, and old, the writing fading and smudged around the edges - but you both remember it. A piece of history, a priceless gift connecting two children across nearly a decade.
You grin, nodding, and Qiu laughs. âI couldnât get rid of it.â You say. âThe thought never even crossed my mind.â
They hum, carefully smoothing out crinkled corners. âWhy?â
âI felt like it would be special. Just like how I felt you would be special.â
Qiu turns to give you a look - a smile, softer than their usual cocky, playful grins. âI knew you liked me.â They say, and youâre suddenly 10 again, watching your neighbour pick you up for the first day of school.
âI do.â You agree, refusing to hesitate - itâs been a long time coming, and neither you nor them are letting it stop, now.
âGood.â They say, and you watch as they carefully tuck the fading note back in with your other keepsakes. âI like you, too.â
âQiu?â
âMm?â
âCan I kiss you?â
They laugh - breathless, long hair soft against your skin as they take your hand, set it against their cheek and lean close. âI would love it if you finally did.â
Went through Gnome's tumblr and Patreon and decided we need more Stu/MC content. If no one will write Stu/Reader stuff, then I will write Stu/Reader stuff. I will be the change I wish to see in the world. (There's also some Alan/Reader coming up but I have Stu brainrot).
This will be posted on ao3 with a link to the fic posted here on tumblr as well.

Stu had been content with the fact that he would never tell you how he felt. He was going to set it aside and pretend that his crush on you was nonexistent. It was nice to just have you back in his life, honestly.Â
WellâŚthat was partially true. He was happy to see you again - truly he was! But he didnât think heâd ever be content with you being blissfully unaware of just how much he loved you. It hurt. It fucking hurt. But that was a hurt he was willing to contend with if it meant keeping you around.Â
Youâre both wading in to deeper waters, now - no life raft or vest to keep you afloat, waves licking at the bottom of your chin. Another step and youâll both go under. Your brain fights with you, not sure whether youâll sink or swim.Â
âDid you everâŚlike me? LikeâŚhave feelings for me.â He asks, and you can hear him forcing the words out, too - neither of your bodies want to cooperate right now. âBe- uh, before, likeâŚyou know, when we were in school. OrâŚrecently.âÂ
â...Like now?âÂ
â...Like now.âÂ
The water covers your mouth, and you gasp for air, smoothing your hands over your thighs. Your pajama pants are soft. His pajama pants. Youâre wondering if you should have agreed to this sleepover study session. (âWe can keep each other accountable!â Heâd told you, âEven if we arenât studying the same thing.â). âNow.â You say, short, quick, like youâll swallow the water if you speak.Â
âNow.â He agrees, and you feel the bed dip, feel him moving behind you until heâs sitting at your side, wringing his hands (his thigh is a comfortable warmth against yours, it always has been, heâs always been).Â
âWell-â You take a breath, âWhat about you?âÂ
You can feel him flinch next to you, feel his thigh twitch as he starts to bounce his leg. âI asked you first.â He says.Â
âI asked you second.âÂ
You donât need to look at him to know thereâs a smile on his face. Something more relaxed, and his leg stops bouncing.Â
â...Itâs all really obvious, isnât it?â He asks, and you nod.Â
âYeah.âÂ
Stu lets out another breath. âShould we just say it?âÂ
âDo you want to?âÂ
âIâve wanted to for years.âÂ
Your breath catches again. Swim, your brain supplies. Oh. âOkay.â You say, and you feel him turn, knee bumping yours as he face you, and you take a moment to do the same. He looks nervous, when you greet him face to face, but earnest, fingers fidgeting with one another, almost like theyâre looking for something to do before he takes your hand- oh.Â
âI like you.â He says, pauses. âM-More, I thinkâŚknow, I guess. Itâs been a long time. You have been a long time.âÂ
You swallow, and he lifts one hand to brush his thumb over the corner of your mouth, against the nervous, deep seated frown that wrinkled the corner of your lips. Itâs enough to send a relaxed shiver ricocheting through your body, and your breathe, closing your eyes to rest your cheek in his palm. Stu reciprocates eagerly, spreading his fingers to cup your cheek.Â
âI like you, too.â You tell him. âMaybe more.âÂ
His breath catches. â...Cool.â You hear him finally say, a murmur on the heels of an audible shiver.Â

He would continue stroking himself to the thought of you beneath him, taking every inch of him inside of you with that cute look on your face and your legs wrapped around his hips. Having spent so long with you, he knew your voice - he could hear it in his mind, late at night with his hand wrapped around his cock. Begging him for more, his name on a breath as he took you, gave you a pleasure that no one else could ever hope to compare to. Calling for him, again, and again, and again, while he was deep inside you, your perfect lips wrapped around his nameâŚÂ
âStu.â You stressed, and he snapped back to the current moment, looking at you from across the bed. Youâre cross legged, papers and textbooks open in front of you, and a plate filled with crackers, cookies, candies, and other various snacks set between the two of you. Thereâs an energy drink in your hand, and growing circles under your eyes, prominent when you turn your head away to set the now empty can on the floor next to his bed. âAre you even listening?â You ask, and he takes a moment, blinks, runs his hand through his hair.Â
He has to stare, for a moment, eyeing the blue sweatshirt that sits comfortably across your body, remembering the almost shy offer as heâd held it to you on the walk home, your hands almost eager as they slipped it on, feet crunching over golden leaves that skittered in the wind across the sidewalk.Â
(He looks somehow more amazed than before, slipping his hand slowly between your thighs, constantly flicking his gaze up to your own to make sure this was still okay. His fingers are warm and rough when they settle over you - teasing, rubbing, gliding over hot, sensitive skin. "You're really soft here, too..." He mumbles, shuffles up the bed a little closer, and finally gives you a brief glimpse of that trademark Stu grin.
"You look all ready from one kiss."
"I just sucked your whole dick, Stu."
He has the decency to look bashful when he laughs. "I...yeah, I know. I was just trying out some lines from a uh...a manga, I read.")

writing a XiaoAether hurt/comfort fic that should be posted iiinnnn about an hour or so on my ao3 - will link it here when iâm done <3Â
Aether pauses. He canât say itâs okay. Canât say itâs alright, because itâs not, and Xiao knows that as well as he. Deliver punishment to the mortals, maybe. Give them a good lashing till they learn right from wrong. He was never one to get involved but archons, Aether blurred the lines and tore open his chest to wrap his fingers tight around his heart and Xiao didnât know how to deal with that. Punish the mortals â but never kill. Gods. It wasnât the place of the adepti to deliver divine punishment but heâd taken it upon himself, carried out his own orders with bloodied hands and a scarred heart that bled anger and rage-

Humming, you open your own box, picking up a nugget and eyeing it thoughtfully. âYou think chickens are pissed they got the short end of the stick? I mean, think about it. They canât fly, theyâre usually pretty ugly, and we raise âem nice and fat to eat them or eat their eggs. They got like, the lowest rung on the evolutionary ladder.â
He gapes from beside you. âFirst of all, they are very beautiful to me.â Hawks has to pat your back as you cough.
âCovid.â He jokes. âI think we should end the date here.â
âShut up.â You wheeze, taking a sip, and Hawks continues.
âSecond of all, have you seen those talons of theirs? They could fuck you up. Ducks just have webbed feet.â
âDucks bite, though.â
He looks at you. âWhat.â
âDucks? Yeah dude, they bite. Most of them have like, this sharp ridge on the front of their bill to hold on to fish and other little prey that they latch on to. It can break the skin pretty easy, fuckers are sharp. They bite, and they bite hard.â
âAssholes.â Hawks amends, biting in to a chicken nugget and eyeing the ducks with a side eyed glance.
Can I request some NSFW headcanons about Albedo, Childe, Diluc, and Xiao doing the 'thing' with their traveler!s/o BUT either they still call them "Traveler ('Comrade' for Childe too xD) or accidentally called them that -it's up to you- and the reader went "?!?!?!??! I have a name?????" and went nuts and forced the characters to "Speak my name" or something similar to that... Very spicy please :D Thanks a lot!!
I promise Iâm not dead again, I just cut my thumb real bad on Monday and itâs been hell trying to type at a reasonable pace while it heals lmao
Also, I remembered halfway thru writing these that you wanted it particularly spicy so I edited a bit and- well I just hope itâs enough lol
Albedo, Childe, Diluc, Xiao Calling S/O âTravelerâ During Sex
Albedo:
Itâs so unlikely...But even he supposes mistakes are bound to be made eventually. Is the least embarrassed about it.
He rarely uses any sort of nickname or even term of endearment, in fact he was loathsome to call you Traveler for the time that that was all you were to him. As soon as he learned your name, it was all he used.
The moment it slips out during sex, itâs more like a moment silence and bewilderment than true anger. You know how he is, so you knew it was just a genuine mistake.
He immediately corrects himself, and gets back to work on pleasing you.
If you want him to make up for calling you that, then youâll have to take the initiative and say so. Heâs happy to play along.
Wonât make it a point to use your name after this though- He already does, but heâll reassure you the morning after that he knows your name and loves it, and doesnât think of you as just the âTraveler.â
âI hope you know thatâs not at all how I see youâŚâ
âOh? I know, it was just a slip of the tongue.â
âGood. I just wanted to make sure you were aware.â
If the topic ever comes up again, heâll just sigh and insist it was a one time occurrence, nothing more.
Childe:
The most likely to fuck up and call you Traveler, simply because he...always uses nicknames, no matter who it is!
That and heâs just a general dumbass sometimes.
He usually uses terms of endearment in bed, things like sweetheart and lovely, but sometimes the habit comes out and he blurts out âAh, Traveler, youâre so tight!â right when heâs balls deep, and you couldnât have been less aroused in that momentâŚ
Heâs confused when you ask him to pull out, stopping everything and making him look you in the eyes.
âSay my name.â
âWhat?â
âYou called me Traveler- Say my damn name.â
âO-oh.â
For the rest of the night, he moans your name like he just canât say it enough, desperate to make up for the mistake.
In the morning he apologizes, and makes it a point for the rest of the week to call you by your full name.
No nicknames for a while. He feels pretty embarrassed by the slip-up but tries to play it off nonetheless.
Diluc:
Easily the most embarrassed by it, since itâs a very âonce in a lifetimeâ occurrence.
Even he doesnât know why it had slipped out- One moment he was praising you and worshipping your body, the next you were sitting up like a bolt and asking him why he called you âTraveler.â
âOh...Um, I didnât mean to.â
âReally? So you know my name, then?â
âI know your name, I promise.â
He decides to prove it to you by...Servicing you for the next few hours, making sure to moan your name so sweetly at every thrust.
Doesnât make it a point to use your name from there on out, but he is careful whenever he refers to you now, even if youâre not there to hear it.
Somehow Kaeya just knows Diluc fucked up and itâs like a curse, he swears, because the next day Kaeya has the worst grin on his face as he asks âHowâs the Traveler doing these days?â
âI donât know, why donât you ask S/O yourself?â
âI would, but they seemed rather peeved this morning...Wonder why?â
Kaeyaâs Kickout Tally: 42 43
Xiao:
Has mixed feelings, and honestly itâs both surprising and also not that he made the mistake of referring to you as Traveler still.
On one hand, he almost never calls you by any sort of name- Just sort of...Turns to you and expects you to listen. Thereâs been little need to call out your name.
On the other...He knew you as the Traveler for so long before actually getting acquainted with you, and has had little practice in saying your name. Itâs just a habit to him, to be honest. Thatâs likely how it happened.
So you were also conflicted when, in the middle of a particularly hard thrust, he stammered out a whiny âT-TravelerâŚâ
âXiao-â
A pause.
âAh-â
âDid. Did you just call me Traveler?â
âI...HmâŚâ
âYou do know my name, right?â
âOf course I know it.â
âThen say it.â
Makes it a very big point to say your name from now on. Deep down he feels really embarrassed that he let it slip freely, and wants to make absolute sure he never does it again.
Basically makes your name his mantra from now on, though you wouldnât know it until you have sex again.
Also unbeknownst to you, he gets a little more whiny when he starts repeating your name over and over againâŚAlmost as if heâs desperate to hear you commend him for his loyalty to it.
Spoilers: He is. Please praise him for remembering.
Yâall itâs great that weâre supporting Corpse cause the dude is a bean and deserves it. Iâve been watching him for years and it makes me so happy to see him thriving like this, with a fan base and friends that care about him. With that being said.
Spreading art and awareness is fine - but if you want to share someoneâs art, please get their permission first. You can also link so the OG artist gets the attention they deserve. Artists pour hours upon hours in to their artwork, please give them the credit they deserve.
Oh God yeah absolutely. I'm writing a little Hawks fic, actually, just because there isn't nearly enough reader insert stuff for him and God dammit, I'll be the change I wish to see in the world.
