a continuation / part 2 to this post
includes: zhongli, sara, xiao, and thoma
after ending things with you, he found himself thinking about you more often. his chest was heavy with feelings of regret and guilt. he thinks about the pained smile you gave him more than he’d like to admit. after weeks of purposely avoiding you, he finally decided to approach you if he happened to see you, and he did. he greeted you with the same gentle smile that was bittersweet now.
“it’s been quite some time since we’ve spoken. how have you been?”
you return his smile. “i’ve been fine.”
and then you tell him that you’re too busy to stop and chat, quickly leaving him behind in the middle of the city. zhongli decides that it would be better if he no longer tried to speak to you.
“my darling, it’s been nearly a month since we last spoke. i miss you dearly. i wish i could undo the things i’ve done. i wish i could go back in time and do what felt right to me. you would still have you vision, you would still be mine. i turned you into only but a shell of what you used to be, and for that… i’m so sorry. although, i am glad you only see me as one of the shogun’s minions and not as someone who betrayed you in the worst way. i hope that someday you’ll remember the time we spent together and find the strength to forgive me. yours truly, sara.”
sara quickly crumples up the paper in front of her, fresh ink staining her fingers. the same fingers that snatched your vision away from you, the same fingers that left sara feeling so guilty it made her nauseous every time she saw them. no matter how hard she scrubbed them, the guilt never washed away. angrily, she throws the paper across the room, adding onto the pile of unsent letters to you.
upon returning to wangshu inn after some time away, xiao could immediately sense that something was wrong. the air was tense, and verr goldet immediately motioned the adeptus towards her once he entered. xiao can’t pinpoint the exact emotion he feels when he sees you in bed, bruises and scratches on your face.
“a traveler helped bring them here after finding them injured… told me they whispered your name before passing out.” verr goldet had said.
xiao winces. “why?” he asks. “why didn’t you call out my name? i told you i’d protect you.” xiao says.
you sigh, barely opening your eyes to look at him. the light in the room made your head hurt, but you wanted to see xiao’s face. “i didn’t want to bother you.”
xiao can’t speak. you don’t want him to. he realizes what he did left a longer lasting impression on you than he anticipated.
thoma didn’t understand why he always got so upset seeing you with them. he knew he couldn’t be with you, not with how busy he is. his work has to be his first priority, so why didn’t he feel happy that you had found someone else? that was what he thought he wanted. however, he started seeing you less and less around inazuma. he can’t help but be worried, so he takes it upon himself to ask ayaka if she knew where you had gone.
“huh? they didn’t tell you?”
thoma’s heart sinks. ayaka tells him that you had decided to leave inazuma with your s/o entirely. and you hadn’t said goodbye to him. but he knows he can’t be mad. he brought this on himself, right?
“ah, that’s right. it must’ve… slipped my mind, heh…”
2:32am
A knock on the door brings you out of your thoughts as you blearily look up towards the source. Yanfei yawns and sleepily leans against the door, asking softly, “Why are you up?” Unable to give her a proper answer, you merely shrug and move to start working again. With a flash of pink hair, she appears by your side, gently removing the pen out of your loose grasp and placing it down on the desk. Her hands move to rest on your shoulders as her warm eyes meet yours, “Let’s get you to bed alright? The work will still be here in the morning. I just want to be in your arms tonight.” A smile makes its way on to your face as you nod and allow yourself to be pulled into her arms and guided towards the bed, all of the paperwork forgotten as you contently bask in the warmth of your girlfriend’s caring embrace.
a/n: here’s the first thing to kick off the 200 event and it’s just a short piece of fluff i wrote for myself at this exact time :’)
tag list: @mayple @yeetmeoffjueyunkarst @bookuya @liyuesbian
May I ask a "💓" for Jean, Lisa and Keqing🥺
i got this in ebg and im finally happy that i can write keqing
BUT BECAUSE NEXT REQUEST IS 3 EMOJIS FOR HER, WITH 1 OF THEM BEING THIS, IM NOT INCLUDING HER HERE
anyways do enjoy!
💓-She first realises it on a hot summer night, where she was still pulling another all-nighter.
This time though, she had you, a fellow Knight, working with her to finish her duties for the day.
Of course, there were some documents that only Jean could access, so you were doing the other tasks that didn’t necessarily need Jean only. (a/n Margaret get a better grip on your cat)
You had just finished your last non- acting grandmaster- related outside duties of finding Margaret’s cat, but as you were feeling exhausted, you decided to set a timer of 45 minutes before waking up and helping Jean.
Jean stepped into her office after getting more coffee, only to return to you resting on her couch, sitting upright.
“y/n?” No response, only your gentle breathing could be heard.
Jean went back to her table, and continued doing her work, but she could not focus, and ended up staring at you, thinking about how kind you were, for helping her, how cute your sleeping face looked, and how she wanted to kiss you…
She instantly blushed and went back to work, but her mind was running on how her thoughts were like the protagonist's when they meet their love interest.
That’s when she knew she had feelings for you.
💓-Lisa is sharp, she is able to tell quickly that she has such feelings for you.
We all know Lisa is a very flirty person, and as a result probably has many admirers who are interested in her mainly due to her figure.
You were different. Yes, you were also heavily affected by her flirting and all, but not once, have you ever hit on you, or like tried to vie for her attention in an overbearing manner.
Furthermore, you actually love to discuss with Lisa about various topics across the entire Teyvat, so intellectually Lisa is attracted to you already.
It’s when she realises how open and free that she can be around that she realises that she has fallen for you.
She was reflecting on your time together that day, thinking about how you were so different from all the various suitors she has entertained over the years. You didn’t try to wow her with gifts, but gave her something even more important: your time, and your complete attention. And whenever around you, she didn’t have to feel like she was flirting with someone, but being able to be at ease.
When she realises that she wants to always feel like this with you and only you, she’ll know that she has feelings for you.
Hello! Can I request a Hutao x childhood friend reader?
You and Hu Tao have been close ever since you were young. She made you, a random passerby, the victim of one of her many pranks, and ended up taking a liking to you. After a proper approach, she started spending more time around you and a friendship blossomed pretty quickly.
She'd try and spend as much time as possible with you, taking you to various places and playing an assortment of games. She frequently took you to some of her favorite sightseeing spots around the harbor, and she had found very many, being as adventurous as she is.
She loved to throw together poetry on the fly during your outings. She'd delicately grasp at every fleeting feeling and thought she had and weave them into a beautiful string of verses, and she'd try and get you to do the same.
It wasn't until a good few years into your friendship that she realized she had feelings for you. Thinking back on all the time you'd spent together, all the fun you'd had; she realized that those experiences were as positive as they were because it was you that was there with her. You weren't just any other friend to her, you were the best friend she could ever wish for, and she only wanted to become even closer.
While she is quite a bold person, confessing was still incredibly tough for her. She kept those feelings to herself for a while, afraid of rejection and the prospect of ruining your friendship. It wasn't until she inherited the role of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's director that she chose to tear the bandage off. She was afraid her new role wouldn't leave as much time to spend with you, and the last thing she wanted was for you to drift apart. So, she decided to confess, hoping to bind the two of you together.
Her confession was messy. It was the most nervous you'd ever seen her; her face was beet red, she was tripping over every other word, and she was quite jittery. But, she managed to get the point across. She was clearly terrified of your response, and she waited, frozen in fear, to hear it.
It took her a moment to process your reply, but once she did, she was absolutely beaming. You could see her tear up a bit, right before she jumped at you and wrapped you in a painfully tight hug. She was just so relieved that you felt the same that she didn't bother verbalizing her gratitude, but your ribs being crushed got it across just fine. Words really couldn't describe just how happy she was. She loved you more than anything, and after hiding that for so long, she was absolutely ecstatic to have gotten that out, and now she knew the person she loved most loved her the same.

YOU THINK I’M JOKING BUT I’M DEAD SERIOUS
hiii c:
👩❤️💋👩 with mona and/or fischl please?
👩❤️💋👩-how do they like their kisses?
Mona
First of all, she’s mostly likely the type not to like public kisses so any kiss in public equals you getting whacked. But at home she definitely wants affection. Troublesome, but nevertheless, you love her.
Forehead kisses go brrrrr, she definitely loves it when you do that, a gentle way of showing your love for her. It leaves her all fluttery inside and she just leans into it because she wants to chase the feeling of safety that you provide for her.
She also finds kisses on the nose adorable!!! Like the way you do it just provides so much affection that she melts inside.
Her favourite are shoulder kisses though. Often as the two of you cuddle before going off to sleep, you, being the big spoon, would always pull her close as the two of you stare at the night sky from your window.
Fischl
Also hates public kisses,says it’s not good for her image, but you know she ends up blushing so hard if you do. She blushes when you kiss her in private, what more in public.
But she wouldn’t mind Eskimo kisses with you! She finds it really intimate, but at the same time it doesn’t involve her getting carried away by your lips so she can fully enjoy your affections uwu but in public uwu
She gets so flustered when you kiss her back, specifically where her tattoos are. It makes her melt inside, knowing that you acknowledge her as both Amy and Fischl, from the way that you kiss her wings, acknowledging Fischl. And when you kiss her eye, now uncovered from her eyepatch, she knows you appreciate her Amy side as well. It’s heartwarming, knowing that someone loves you, and all your different sides.
And in public, the only kiss she’ll allow, is the traditional kiss on her fingers. It’s classic as royalty, and as royalty, she has to follow such standards, no? It’s a running joke between the 2 of you, but the feeling of you being her loyal knight is something you two love to roleplay a lot. Besides, it’s fun to see her struggle in public, no?
Yes she still loves the classic cheek, forehead and lips kiss ehe
pairing: ningguang x gn reader
req: no | wc: 312
inspo: ningguang’s “would you like to have a chat with me?” at the serenitea pot
a/n: this was a shower thought
“You know, you’re very important to me. As the Tianquan of Liyue, there is very little that is beyond the reach of my fingertips,”
Her hand cups your chin. Golden claws prod against your skin, though however pointy they may be, they don’t pierce it. Ningguang exercises self-control, as evident by the grip of her hold being gentle.
“I am very grateful for the wealth I possess, but sometimes I am not a person,”
She observes your illuminated face under the soft yellow haze of the moonlight, as the rest of your body is obscured.
“to some, I am only a pawn from which they can gain information from. Many a business magnates invite me to dinner under the guise of a ‘chat’. You on the other hand,”
It was almost pathetic how they showered her in extravagant gifts and most exquisite meals for a sliver of future Liyue trends.
“you’re different.”
Your irises reflect the moonlight, shining with a beauty seeked by thousands upon thousands of vain maidens. You, however, exhibit this beauty naturally.
“Ever since I have risen to power in aid for Liyue, I haven’t had a genuine chat, for it is something I cannot buy. You’ve changed that so easily.”
Your lips are as charming as always. It was a miracle how she hadn’t stopped her oh so sentimental monologuing by now just to sneak in a little peck.
“The words spoken from your lips are the only ones I cherish.”
Her hand sneaks up to cup your cheek. The single claw on her thumb caresses the apples of them carefully.
“I would invite you to chat about the simpler things in life once again but… I think I should indulge in myself.”
Out of every single person she knew, she cherished you the most. Her lips meet yours and tell you just how that statement is true.
Characters: Hu Tao, Ganyu x gn!reader
Now Playing: Lovesong (The Way) - [feat. Bluets], Charlie Burg
Hu Tao loves to pull pranks, and makes jokes quite often considering the whimsical type of person she is. But she’s dead set serious on making this confession as meaningful as ever. She wants the moment to be perfect; maybe in the dead of the night when the stars and moon are lustrous and at their brightest. Maybe when you two are peering over at each other, she could mutter a small “I like you, go out with me?” and spectate your reaction. But… not everything always goes as planned. Hu tao declared her love and adoration for you … accidentally.
Ganyu’s confession is almost perfect. You two were quietly sitting down on the soft green grass, when she turned to study your face. Your expression was soft and relaxed, as you glanced over at her, catching her fixated gaze on you. Her features softened as you both continued to look longingly at one another. Ganyu’s radiant lips turned into a small smile as she confessed her feelings. Her ears and cheeks rosy red, as she somewhat reluctantly spoke her thoughts. It was hard to do so, but after she got it off her chest, her eyes flashed towards your lips, taking small glimpses at them, wondering what words you were to utter back.
Synopsis: dœg
Warnings: none
Game/ fandom: genshin impact
Characters: ayaka, hu tao, and Ei
Pronouns for reader: gender neutral/ not mentioned
A/n: hello 🦧 (also don’t be sorry it’s all good :D)
— ayaka —
Probably kinda scared of dogs
Like just big dogs, not the little ones
She’s kinda nervous around your dog, but warms up eventually when she realizes they’re just like Taroumaru only bigger
Definitely pets your dog as a way to calm down when stressed.
If you bring your dog most places with you, then they’ll probably stick by ayaka cause they know they’ll get pet a lot.
Overall she’s kinda nervous about your dog at first but warms up to them in time.
— hu tao —
Spoils your dog so much it’s just… wow. Honestly astonishing.
Probably suggested dressing your dog up as a coffin, as a marketing tactic.
literally doesn’t care that your dog is huge, she’ll let them into her office, which… isn’t huge…
Probably asks if she can take the dog to work with her, literally again to dress them up as a coffin.
— Ei —
In a modern Au Ei unironically calls herself a dog mom.
Literally will treat that dog like royalty. The nicest food, best treats, best toys, best walks. Everything.
I mean she is the raiden shogun after all, why wouldn’t her s/o dog get amazing treatment.
Definitely spoils the dog, but also knows where to draw the line. Like… she spoils them to a certain point.
Literally loves your dog, and of course loves you.
It’s the woman’s birthday and I have Ningguang brain rot today.
How do you think Ningguang would react to her poor S/O (the one from my request way back when) who likes to gift her handmade things. Either jewelry, little things to decorate her desk, whatever you want.
Please and thank you so much
Since it’s her birthday I’ll skip this to the front of the line haha
Ooooooooooh my. This woman would treasure the things you give her so much.
Though she’s always insisted that she doesn’t need anything in return for the gifts she gives you, the fact that you spent your time making the little handmade trinkets you’re presenting her with warms her heart. One’s time is a valuable thing, she knows that well.
They’re also made with love, and she can see you’re proud of them. (And they’re made specially just for her)
She loves your little gifts so much, she would much rather have the things you make her than the expensive things from people trying to curry favor.
Gifts had lost their meaning before she met you. They became empty, a reminder that everyone seemed to think of her as a petty politician whose good opinion could simply be bought. They were almost insulting, but not with you.
Your gifts were given purely to see her smile, because you loved her and wanted to show it.
For the woman who has everything, your gifts were her most prized possessions.
