[yearningpine]

Darling trying to discipline her and Lohen's kid if they ever misbehave be like:

Darling: I'm gonna call your grandparents. *Dials Lohen's parents*

Kid: no no no, just Daddy (⁠ꏿ⁠﹏⁠ꏿ⁠;⁠)ಥ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ಥ

Darling: I'm not calling daddy I'm calling Grandma and Grandpa

Darling: yeah, eat her toes, cause she's bad (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)

Kid: nooo, I've been good (⁠*⁠﹏⁠*⁠;⁠)

Darling: take her fingers and toes (⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠)

Kid: *cries* (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠)(⁠ ⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⁠⌢⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀⁠)

Just for context: she probably snuck in a hilichurl camp. God Lohen (⁠●⁠_⁠_⁠●⁠)

dbdknddndnDJKDNDJDNDKDNJD ANON IM CRYING OUT TEARS OF LAUGHTER I'M SJKDNSKDN 😭😭😭😭

Lohen's kid most dreaded punishment in all of Teyvat is probably being sent to stay at her grandparents' house for a week. Not because they'll mistreat her or anything— oh no quite the opposite. They'll spoil and pamper her sooooo much, just like how they spoiled Lohen back when he was a child. The catch? She has to do all the same boring stuff he did back when he was a kid like making a bow without ever getting to fire it and has to attend mass at the end of the week. Yes, this includes no going outside the house so no fights and sleeping early at night 👁👁 Nope, no exceptions young missy

By the third day, your daughter will be calling you while crying and begging to come home because “it's so boring here!!! I don't wanna stay with grandma and grandpa!!! QAQ”

Meanwhile Lohen is laughing his ass off in the back, loud enough that his daughter can hear him too making her cry even louder 💔💔 Just an average day in the Lohen household

[yearningpine]

If Illuga has a baby, you know when their teeth starts popping up, sometimes it's below the lower gum or upper gum, or even both. I'd like to think his kid has their baby teeth on both.

Lohen's on the other hand are literal fangs.

🥺🥺 omg that's so cute... imagine it's because his baby is so excited to try his papa's delicious cooking to the point he's growing his teeth faster.... so that he can try all his papa's wonderful dishes as soon as possible.... Illuga would probably be so excited and run to learn more recipes that are good for babies to be fed his baby 🥺🥺 dad!Illuga ueueue

Meanwhile in the Lohen household...

Lohen: (gently prying his kid's mouth open with his thumb) Oh? Our little one's growing fangs huh. Wonder who he got those from.

You, covered in fang and bite marks all over your body even in places that can't be seen: ...............Yeah, I wonder who

[yearningpine]

Coming to bother you again because DID YOU SEE THE IMAGINARIUM POSES LEAK?! Illuga with Aedon they're so cute🫳🫳 I'm so endeared to Aedon, he's just a little light bird but I love him WAAAAAHHHH

WAAHHHH I HAVE I HAVE ‼️‼️‼️ I avoided from posting them because I didn't want to spoil those who were looking forward to it, but I love it so!! So!! Much‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Ueueueuue Illuga and Aedon, oh how I love the two of you 😭😭😭

[yearningpine]

We all know how Illuga's absolute dogwater with machines and will do anything to get out of going to Aino's lectures right?

What if his beloved lightkeeper!reader is REALLY good with machines, Aino loves you because thank god at least ONE lightkeeper knows how to fix stuff around here, and you try your best to always attend Aino's lectures: butttttttt, it's very clear you CANNOT focus without Illuga 😭

You managed to convince Illuga to go with you a singular time after months of trying and Ineffa IMMEDIATELY clocks the attention difference. So now Illuga has a robot chasing after him horror movie style whenever it's time for one of Aino's lectures because having you be engaged with the material makes the whiz kid happy, you look like you're enjoying yourself much more when your captain is there, and Illuga himself doesn't look like he fully hates being there because at least he's with you.

(Ineffa, running after Illuga at supersonic speeds: Their attention drops by 70% when you are not present. Please attend Aino's lecture.

Illuga: *incoherent screaming*)

Our poor captain's stuck between a rock and a hard place 🥀🥀 On one hand, he's willing to do ANYTHING for you, but on the other, why did it have to be this???? The only worse thing you could've asked him to do was stop eating the mandragora,,,,,

(But also, imagine he tries to get Flins to make up an excuse so he can get out of there, but the moment he turns back to say sorry to you, you're sitting there hitting him with the 🥺 expression. He feels so bad afterwards, especially if you're sulking around because of it 😭😭)

OH MY GODDDDD THIS IDEA IS SO CUTEE UEUEUEUUE 😭😭😭😭

Not only does Aino love you, the other lightkeepers do too. They think you're a GODSENT because you're one of (if not the only) one who is capable of fixing all the broken machinery that end up hauling back to Piramida (they simply cannot for the life of them figure out how this stuff works, look at our lightkeepers dawg 💔💔).

Not only that, you're also one of the only people who can force Illuga to take a break because he's so Whipped(tm) for you that he'll sometimes (keyword: sometimes) give in to your heartfelt pleading and agree to follow you to Aino's lecture. Ineffa's relentless chase doesn't 99% of the time because you aren't there to convince him. The 1% of time is actually works is when Ineffa does bring you with her to chase him down, so now he's got TWO people chasing him down like a Fatui agent hunting a late debtor. Run captain, run

At the end of the day, no matter how much Illuga dreads those lectures more than fighting hoards of monsters from another realm, he will suck it up for enough hours so that your smile remains your face for the rest of the day 🥺🥺 He can't be the reason for you looking upset, so he'll stick around long enough that you won't sulk... Look, he's even taking down notes to help you!! Even though he doesn't understand a word, he's trying to be helpful!! When can the two of you leave already? 🥺🥺 (He's crying on the inside. Why isn't Flins here yet? Someone please send him help 💔💔)

[yearningpine]

I have a funny ahh idea in my head. So I've been reading this dad!Lohen. What about Illuga as a dad, his kid is very innocent and curious, suddenly asking him where babies come from, cue Illuga being a babbling mess and a nervous laugh come out. Nikita is choking on his drink and clears his throat, he had to come up with a story that a stork fae would detect a couple who loves them so much and they decided to reward them with a baby. Crazy I know, but the kid should not yet learn about these things.

Yes, the stork faes are real. Like Santa is real

👁👁📝 Go on anon, I'm listening...

Honestly, if Illuga hadn't been so taken aback by the question, he probably would've come up with the same story as Nikita did. After all, his character story and the books left outside his house implies that he used to read a lot of books growing up, so he would definitely make up another fairytale that would explain everything (except the... coughs, you know what it is 💦💦)).

Illuga as a father is very much the type to protect his kid's childhood innocence for as long as possible. He knows better than anyone how harsh the living environment is in Nod Krai, especially to a child who doesn't know anything about the world yet and is still completely reliant on the grown ups raising them. There's nothing more he wants nothing more than his kid to have a happy childhood even in a such an environment— so, if his kid believes in santa? You can bet that there will be gifts under the tree ever year, as well as an empty plate of cookies left on the table. His kid believes in the tooth fairy? The next day, there isn't a tooth under the pillow anymore. Simply some spare change as well as a note from the “tooth fairy” thanking the child for giving their tooth to the fairy and requesting them to spend the money wisely.

Oh dad!Illuga doing everything in his power to give his kid a happy childhood, oh how much the people miss you 😔😔

[yearningpine]

“Fall into my arms”

Summary: In which someone makes a bet that they wouldn't catch you if you ran towards them at full speed while their hands are full. So, you decided to test it out.

Characters: Illuga, Lohen, Xiao, Kinich

Illuga

Absolutely, 100%

Would drop everything in his hands just to catch you even if he was holding something precious or fragile. The only time he wouldn't catch you would be if he was holding something sharp or dangerous, anything that could potentially harm you if he accidentally dropped you.

“!? W-Wait! I'm still holding onto Sir Flins’ supplies!! If you fall—”

Despite his increasingly panicked attempts at persuasion, his body moved quicker than his mind. In less than a second, his hands had already dropped everything onto the floor and his feet were planted firmly into the ground, arms spread widely to catch you just in the nick of time

Uses his entire body to cushion the impact and slow you down, making sure that even if the two of you were to fall, he would be the one hitting the ground first. Luckily, his feet were planted firmly enough into the ground that none of you ended up tumbling onto the ground, with yourself landing safely into his arms.

After double (maybe triple) checking that you weren't hurt, he proceeds to chew your ear off for the next hour or so, reprimanding you for your reckless and irresponsible actions. That was far too dangerous! What if he slipped before he could catch you!?

“Don't ever do something so reckless again. If you do, don't expect me to catch you again (｀ヘ´)”

He absolutely would. But he would also prefer if you were to greet him normally next time instead of giving him a heart attack

… At least the feeling of carrying you in his arms more than makes up for it

(More below the cut)

Lohen

“Oh?”

He watched as you hurled yourself towards his direction, intrigue and a hint of puzzlement sketched onto his face

Depending on the time of day, there's a 50% chance Lohen would open his arms and catch you so that the two of you would fall together, as well as another 50% chance that he'll wait right up until the moment you're almost in front of him, step aside and then catch you just as you were about to fall face first into the ground. What can he say? An eye for an eye, a surprise for a surprise.

Honestly, he finds your trust in him rather endearing. Even though you know that he has a million tricks up his sleeves, you still chose to run towards him at full speed with your arms wide open, not caring if he was in the mood to catch you or not. It made his heart sing with pride, knowing that you had such blind trust in him.

Fortunately for you, he decided to play nice today and catch you immediately. The moment he tosses everything away and your body hits his, one of his hands curls around the back of your head while his other arm slyly snakes around your waist, keeping you pressed as closely to him as possible even when his back hits the gravel below.

“Too bad. Such tricks just aren’t enough to catch me off guard, darling.”

He doesn't try to fight back the wolfish grin surfacing on his face, nor say a word back when you start complaining. Only when you start trying to lift yourself off of him does he make his move. In the blink of an eye, he rolls over and pins you down into the same patch of gravel he was once lying on top, trailing his hand slowly from the back of your head down the back of your neck, all the way to your collarbones.

“Next time, don't announce yourself before you start running— not like that would stop me from sensing your presence beforehand anyways~”

Xiao

“Absolutely, 100%” the sequel

Wouldn't even think before dropping everything to catch up to you. He would even take a few steps forward to lessen the amount of time it would take for you to reach him before patiently waiting for your arrival with his arms wide open, counting down the seconds until you found your way home

Just like the first time he caught you back at the Jade Chamber, his arms are firmly wrapped around yours. Only this time, instead of them being over your shoulders, they are pressed closely yet warmly against your back, gently pushing you to fall deeper into his arms until your head hits his chest

“Did you need me?”

He asks in a calm, steady voice, thinking that any matter that required you to run to his side with such urgency without calling his name was one of utmost importance. If you had called, he would've undoubtedly reached your side in a moment's notice, perhaps even before his name had fully even left your lips. Too quickly? Nonsense. In his eyes, that was the least he should do.

When you told him that you simply wanted to see if he would drop everything just to catch you, he would blink in surprise before letting out a scoff so soft that it couldn't be called anything but fondness.

“If you think our bond was that weak, you needn't test me. I wouldn’t have appeared before you if you didn't mean anything to me.”

After a flicker of hesitation passed his face, he lowered his face and awkwardly nuzzled his forehead against yours, suppressing the urge to look away in order to whisper against your lips.

“... Since you're here now, can you stay a little longer? There’s a plate of almond tofu here that I would like you to try… Who made it?... I… cannot say.”

Kinich

“Ajaw”

“???”

“Catch”

“！？！？ KINICH YOU @%£@%@£@%£@@%@%£@££@%@%%@£@”

Tosses everything to Ajaw and forces him to catch it all before opening his arms as wide as possible, readily bracing for your impact

Honestly, if he had more time to prepare, he would’ve preferred putting everything aside to make better preparations on how to catch you. However, since the things he was holding onto were needn't to complete a commission, he had no choice but to rely his closest companion (which unfortunately had to be Ajaw) and improvise on the spot

Luckily, all that time he spent carrying you around his house before had taught him all he needed to know. Before you had even reached him, he took a few steps forward and waited for you to skid to a stop. Once you did, he ceremoniously placed one arm behind your knee, one arm behind your back and BAM— a princess carry.

“... Should I ask?”

He raises a questioning brow, waiting for you to speak. Once you finish your explanation, he simply sighs before pressing a tender kiss to the top of your head, looking down at you with a mix of exasperation and affection.

“The price for scaring me doesn't come cheap. I hope you're ready to pay for that stunt you just pulled tonight.”

… Is it too late for you to say sorry?

[yearningpine]

I've come back with another GEM (I hope). SO! I opened a chest with Lohen and got that line where he's upset there's no trap in it. I got to thinking in my little Lune brain "hrmmm this tickles my fancy but HOW"

Well, I've just decided. Idrk if you know the Smurfs like that (aagg this may age me, I fear) but for those who don't know, they all have different traits. So there's Jokey Smurf and his thing is he pranks everyone by giving them presents that explode in your face when you open them.

So like...Lohen with a lover whose thing is trap pranks and rigging gifts and chests with traps.

And they're like NOT an amateur either, they're an expert. Putting an elaborate rope trap at the entrance to the house (they entered and exited through the window) so when Lohen goes to open the door he GETS GOT!

That new cologne they gave him? Boar pheromone that makes them charge like hell. They send him to deliver something to Albedo's camp and Lohen gets FUCKED UP by the Great Snowboar King. He loves it. The next few dinners will consist of meat dishes for no particular reason *coughs*

The "just because I love you" gift box they present him? Er yeh well THAT splashes water on his face. "What? That's it? Man, hate to say you miiight be slipping there, babe.."

...

*smile*

And then the "Cryofreeze tonic #4" (patent pending) gets exploded on him and he's just 🧊🧊🧊 BLOCK OF ICE! He spends hours frozen solid and defrosting like a preprepared Sweet Madame. By the time he's free, it's sundown, his teeth are clacking, he's dripping wet and he might have a cold tomorrow. He hasn't had so much fun in a while.

It sometimes gets so bad that Jean has to tell them both that the KOF headquarters, the church, the city gates, the lighthouse, the sanitorium, Angel's Share, Cat's Tail, the Anemo Archon's statue, and residential homes and local businesses are OFF LIMITS. Lohen thinks she's being a killjoy, his lover agrees to only endanger his wellbeing in their home, in the wild, and safe distance away from other Mondstadters (they never said they would stop pranks within the city walls AT ALL, however).

If he's doing a field exercise with a group of knights and he sees a chest, he literally shoves them out the way so he can get boobytrapped. VERY disappointed when he opens it to find ACTUAL treasure and no venom launched in his eyes. (he feels cheated) Bennett sees this happen one time and he's a bit confused why Lohen's upset with actual treasure because for him a chest that ISN'T boobytrapped and DOES have Mora is a lucky day. (Oh Bennett, my precious, I love you, don't change)

Lohen loves to think of what they might pull next, it keeps him on his toes and aware of his surroundings. And if he falls for it? Well then whatever was inflicted on him will be a wonderfully amusing reminder to keep his eyes peeled.

He's wondering if one day they could smuggle wild Saurians to Mondstadt and just let them loose in the house, waiting for him. And not the little babies either, he'd want adults with real grown up fangs and claws.

They tell him there has to be a line and they don't want to anger the Pyro Archon, the 6 tribes AND the Knights with that. He feels differently and thinks that if they all jump him, it'd be even more fun (he's hopeless, your honor!)

😭😭😭 Lune I'm CRYING,,,,, Reading the traps you came up with and the way you described each trap with such detail (and the consequences thereafter) had me putting down the phone and staring at the ceiling for a very long while,,,,,,,,,, Jean you poor, poor soul,,,,,,,,

Lohen with an lover who's an expert in traps is practically a match made in heaven,,,, Not only will the two of you match each other's freak, but also enable each other to outmatch the current level of freak y'all are at,,,, it's like a never ending game of tug of war except the bystanders (rip Mondstadt citizens) had no clue they were even participating in said game until the rope is tied around them 😭😭😭 Meanwhile, the person who is suppose to be the “unfortunate victim” of the prank is giggling like a giddy kid receiving candy for the first time,,,, Barbatos save him,,,,, (or don't, he's exactly where he wants to be)

Imagine his lover gets bored after Lohen's out of the city for an extended period of time (to fight monsters, train the other knights at dornman port, handling secret missions etc), so they start playing “milder” pranks on other people to pass the time— except Lohen's high tolerance to practically anything has completely skewed their understanding of normalcy so, after a long list of complaints and property damage, Jean has no choice but to throw them into solitary confinement with Klee and Varka.

When word of the chaos they've caused reaches Lohen's ears, he's mildly amused but mostly furious. Why? Because he thinks that he should be the only one who gets the “privilege” to fall into his lover's pranks. How dare his lover share their exclusive thing with people other than him!! Bunny is mad, bunny will not tolerate this injustice 💢💢

Varka, sweating in solitary confinement: The winds are calling me. A disaster is approaching.

[yearningpine]

[yearningpine]

Okay hear me out- Lohen gives off the vibes that if his darling was ever rambling about something (like starting to spiral rambling), he'd quietly sneak up behind them while they're talking so once they turn around, their faces are *extremely* close together. I'm talking like if his darling even leans just a bit forward during that turn they're gonna end up kissing 💀 It either results in Lohen scaring the living daylights out of his darling or they're kissing, no other option 😭😭

Either way, it gets his darling out of that mental state (and he gets a kiss from them half the time hehehehe) so it's a win-win situation lmao

Oh he would, he absolutely would 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

It doesn't help that Lohen has mastered the skill of silently sneaking up on someone from behind— so by the time his darling notices that Lohen's not walking alongside them anymore, he's already hovering behind them like a vengeful ghost waiting to drag his lover down to hell with him.

If his darling takes too to notice him, Lohen might get bored and pull something devious: using his cryo vision to chill his breath before blowing said breath against their nape. The way they react never fails to stretch his lips all the way up to the corner of his eyes, watching them with amusement while slowly cornering them until their back hits against the closest flat surface.

“What were you saying, darling? I wasn't listening.”

He puffs another round of cold air against your ear, making sure that you heard him loud and clear. His hair smells like silk flowers and valberries, sweet, floral— the same scent as the shampoo he gave you last week after you complained about yours running out soon. Did he buy the same shampoo to smell like you, or for you to smell like him? That bastard—

Before your head dissolves into its own world again, his lips swiftly pull you back into reality, stealing the breath in your lungs to warm his.

“Mm sorry darling, I still can't quite hear you~ You might have to be a little louder.”

🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️ Sorry I got carried away

[yearningpine]

I know everyone talk about Lohen-Childe interaction. But what about Lohen-Yelan interaction? I mean, from Lohen's trailer, he's basically the Mondstadt version of Yelan.

🤔🤔 Honestly, I think Lohen-Yelan would get along quite well. Both handle shady operations for well established organisations, have a liking for pain and love spicy food.

However, a key difference between them is that... while one of them comes from a lineage of heroes and is destined to become, the other bears a mortal fate and a mundane destiny. While both care deeply for the nation they belong to, Yelan is more involved in the intelligence department while Lohen focuses more on the results of the battlefield.

They are both incredibly similar yet different in their own ways, but I believe they can get along very well!!
