accidental geovishap acquisition

prompt: you find a baby geovishap while exploring in liyue. diluc is less than thrilled about your new pet. 

pairings: diluc x gn!reader

warnings: ~2.5k words, accidental baby acquisition trope (but with a geovishap), diluc falls in love with said geovishap but would never admit it

When you told Diluc you were traveling to Liyue for work, he expected you to come home with sincere gifts of exquisite gemstones and thoughtful trinkets. He never, in a million years, would have imagined you to come home with what you did. 

“Absolutely not.” Diluc says sternly when his eyes lay on the thing in your embrace. It’s sleeping soundly, curled around your arms, and you look overjoyed to be holding it. 

You don’t give him the time of the day. “His name is Spot because he’s got a spot around his right eye,” You tell. “He’s just a baby.” 

“Yeah – a baby who will grow into a monster that’s five-times the size of you and try to eat you.” 

“Geovishaps don’t eat people.” Diluc sighs and you look at him longingly, “He was all alone, ‘Luc. I couldn’t just leave him there.” He frowns heavily, the muscles on his face stretching down, and you add, “Besides, look how adorable he is.” 

Diluc stares at the baby Geovishap with sharp eyes. Then, he looks back at you. “One month,” He decides, “You can have one month to raise it and then you’re bringing it back to Liyue.” 

You smile and duck your head down to kiss the top of the Geovishap’s scaly head. Diluc feels his eye twitch. 

Hi! For the prompt event, may I request Itto + a flirty remark? Please and thank you! Stay safe💕

pairing: itto x gn!reader a/n: 400 words or less challenge. this one clocked in at a nice 399 words.

"are you the raiden shogun?"

a familiar voice from behind you has you immediately sighing. you, the local ramen vendor, had your fair share of odd customers, especially once the sakoku decree ended and tourists flooded in, but none were quite as odd as arataki itto. on his first visit to your stand, he had passed out due to consuming copious amounts of kitsune ramen, but apparently not before you made an impression on him.

"if i was the raiden shogun, i'm sure i'd be doing much greater things than running this stall," you deadpan, turning around to face the towering oni who looks sheepish. his cheeks are tinted with pink as he ignores you uncaring rebuttal, colored with the same hue they always are whenever he spouts the world's worst pickup lines at your stand.

"no, i'm asking because you electrify me?" itto questions, as if he doesn't even know the finishing blow to his cringeworthy pickup line.

"do i?" you ask, amused.

"...yes?"

"is that why you have a crush on me then?" you ask, biting back a laugh as itto's face turns red.

Happy 10th Anniversary, Cheritz!

kaeya + "make me" ? thank you sm!! <3

pairing: gn!reader x kaeya warnings: mentions of drinking (not reader), playful teasing. a/n: took this in a bit of a different direction than what u probably wanted but mainly bc i dont rlly write what this trope is usually used for LOL. hope u enjoy :D

there's a softness in the way kaeya alberich looks at you just before the witching hour, when all of the mondstadtian taverns begin to close and the two of you are forced to leave the intimacy of glasses of wine and secluded corner tables behind to face the windy cobblestone streets outside. perhaps its the moonlight that melts so softly into his periwinkle iris, glinting like fragments of quartz dancing in the arctic sea. the roughness of his gloves and worn fingertips contrast with the affectionate warmth of his touch as his hand brushes across yours. you take the bait and clasp your hand around his, weaving your fingers together.

"walking me home, kaeya? how chivalrous," you tease, as if he doesn't do this every time you go out. familiarity rests in the cracks of the lighthearted jests that the two of you chip away into each other, smoothing out your personalities so that the two of you fit together perfectly.

your puzzle piece of life may not align with kaeya's forever, but for now it does and that is all that matters.

❀ ゚. ༄ TENDING TO THEIR INJURIES ;

characters: thoma / itto / childe

↬ thoma ࿐ ࿔

"i'm okay, i'm okay! i promise."

the way thoma winces when you dress his injuries betrays a forced smile. you study him, brows furrowed in both concern and distress-- concern at his condition, distress at his failed attempts to downplay it.

you want to say a thousand things-- ask him why he's trying to hide the pain, what happened-- but the lump in your throat renders you speechless and the tears that threaten to form shift focus elsewhere. you inhale, shaky-- exhale, and look away from him. he doesn't need another problem-- and it's stupid to cause him worry because you're on the verge of crying.

it's hard to steel yourself when thoma has always been quick to pick up on your emotions and take them to heart. he notices how you struggle to pick up the antiseptic, takes one glance at your face and the way the tears well up, and perhaps that is the most painful of all.

❀ ゚. ༄ OF FIRSTS ( pt. ii ) ;

characters: xiao / itto / kaeya

↬ xiao ࿐ ࿔ ( the first time you speak his name )

under a full moon resides a loneliness even the strongest cannot bear. you rest your arms on the rails of wangshu inn; the breeze gentle against your skin, soothing & mournful in its howling.

in this place is a fondness that will forever remain in your memories. here in this place is where you first met xiao, where you first learned of his humanity, and where you first realized that his companionship might have held more significance than either one of you thought.

the wind grows louder, laments in your place. a bittersweet feeling entangles itself in your soul, but you are quick to dismiss it. you know of his burdens and the things he must do for others. it is heavy enough -- who are you to request his presence for such trivial things?

"if you desire my presence, you should tell me."

some writing tips

this is informal. if you disagree with them, keep doing your own thing. i'm not a definitive source. however, this is stuff that has helped me grow as an author, especially in stuff that isn't related to fanfiction. sorry if any of these aren't actually useful? i'm not a licensed teacher LOL

1. develop a style.

this is the most important writing tip i can think of, but this can easily be misconstrued. a specific "style" doesn't mean you have to stick out with it forever - it just means that your writing should be authentically you. don't write to seem like everyone else - pour your heart into it, write on the pages/screen what only you can! you want to go for the funny jokes or the unique metaphors? then do it. set yourself apart. be you.
