GENSHIN BOYS IN A BAND WITH SINGER S/O

Fealty ⊱⊰ Glossary

𝔾𝕝𝕠𝕤𝕤𝕒𝕣𝕪:

ADEPTI ✤ An elite group of Knights, they personally act on orders of Jade Moon's Champion.

ARCHONS ✤ The Celestial Beings that look over their Kingdoms, they do not engage in wars themselves unless they deem it necessary, and are the ones who choose the Champions.

CHAMPIONS ✤ The Sovereign of a Kingdom. Rulers are always the Mages with the highest magical properties. More often than not, they go to war. They can be replaced whenever the Archons want. If they are alive whilst being replaced, the preceding Champion moves into the Royal Court where they can file into any division they want.

ETERNAL IRIS ✤ 'Inazuma'. A neutral Kingdom allied with the faraway Kingdom of White Frost.

FOUR WINDS ✤ Sapphire's division of the army. Each is led by one of the strongest Mages or Knights.

HEIRS ✤ 'Crown Prince' / 'Crown Princess'. Commonly, being an Heir means that they are the successors of the Champions, once again chosen by the Archon. There are instances when Archons do not choose Heirs, however, since it's not a necessity. Champions can choose their own heirs. But if this were to be the case, being an heir doesn't mean that they are next in line to be the Champion—because crowning and recognizing one is only the duty of an Archon. So instead, Heirs chosen by Champions are instead guaranteed a spot in the Royal Court. In terms of ranking, Heirs are the third most powerful, starting from Archons - Champions - Heirs. These can step in as Regents when a sovereign has faced an untimely death and the Archon is yet to choose the successor. INFERNAL ASSEMBLY ✤ A fighting division in Eternal Iris's Royal Court that oversees their Kingdom's elite Knights.

JADE MOON ✤ 'Liyue'. The most prosperous Kingdom due to its abundance of Mages. Also the land that waged an ongoing war.

KNIGHTS ✤ Cavalrymen. They lack magic but are not insufficient in the ways of their kingdom's blade.

MAGES ✤ Humans blessed by magic. Their abilities can range from cultivating the land to unleashing chaos.

MAGIC ✤ A rarity. Anyone can study about it but that doesn't guarantee that they will be blessed by magic. Despite learning about it, it is all for naught if one isn't blessed—the percentage of being given such power is a low 10%, hence the rarity of Mages.

MARKS ✤ The insignias of each Kingdom. Every citizen is born with one. These marks are classified into two, saturated and nonsaturated. Mages have colored marks, a sign of unlocked magic, and citizens' range from black and grey.

ROYAL COURT ✤ Includes the Kingdom's National Commanders, Judges, Advisors, and those that oversee the government. Mages and non-Mages make up the Court.

REGENT ✤ Appears as a step-in when there is a lack of a Champion. These can be the Heirs, otherwise, they are determined by the Royal Court of each Kingdom or by the Archons.

SAPPHIRE GALE ✤ 'Mondstadt'. The Kingdom that stole Mages from the opposing land of Jade Moon, and is currently on the verge of defeat.

WHITE FROST ✤ 'Snezhnaya'. A faraway Kingdom to the North. Allied with Eternal Iris.

A wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl he will make it happen, no matter what.

That's a lot of damage

summary: for the first time, kazuha considers staying

it’s hot. even the breeze that blows is warm; which makes the tension in the air between you and the inazuma samurai. you both sit in the grass wordlessly, deep in thought. your eyes wander to his hands, covered in bandages. his hands were always covered in small cuts from his sword — you had become his personal doctor, patching up the small cuts.

you gently hold his hand in yours, cleaning a cut on his index finger. you look up to meet his gaze and notice a small grin on his face.

“what?” you ask, returning your eyes back to his hand. “it seems you find something about this funny.”

“no,” he chuckles. “not… funny, per se. it’s just… we’ve gotten to know each other quite well even though we only see one another when i’m in here.”

“mmm,” you hum, securing the bandage on his finger. “so your recklessness is the source of our friendship?”

“i guess,” he says, the grin not fading.

you pause for a moment, his hand in yours. you look at the small scars on his hands. many of them were probably from him missing his own sheath, but you could tell some of them had stories.

“honestly, i do try to be more careful but… it doesn’t seem to work.” he says, pulling his hand away. his eyes shift away from you.

now, you’d do anything to see that grin one more time. you hated yourself for taking that dumb grin for granted.

“is this where we part ways?” he asks softly.

you can’t bring yourself to look at him. “i think so.”

he stands up, wiping his hands on his pants before outstretching his hand towards you. you grab it, and finally look at him. his words were so sad and left your heart feeling so heavy, yet the soft look on his face stayed unchanged.

“i hate that our last moments together feel so sad… it feels quite tragic, no?” he holds onto your hand, squeezing it.

“it’s hard to make departing feel happy.” you whisper.

he takes you into his arms, holding you tighter than ever before. “i’m sorry things ended up this way.”

after a few moments, he lets you go. he looks at you like he’s taking in every detail; a mental picture that he can look at whenever he yearns to feel your warmth. and then he finally starts to walk away.

however, it’s only a few steps. he stops in his tracks, and for a brief moment you think he’ll turn back around for one final embrace. but he keeps his back to you. “tell me to stay.” he says.

“what?”

“tell me to stay, and i’ll stay.”

you want him to stay. every fiber of your being is telling you to say the word. let him know that you want him here. but it’s all too selfish. he had chosen to leave even after you met him. it was a choice you had to respect. he had things to do, places to see, and you unfortunately couldn’t join him. so you take a deep breath and close your eyes, and hope that he’ll be gone when you open them.

and he is.

little things

includes. venti, diluc, xiao, zhongli, childe, kazuha

— venti sits beside your bed, lyre in hand. his fingers pluck a simple lullaby as you grip the edge of his shirt, trying to forget about the nightmare. he’s still alive, breathing with you, and when at last you drift off to sleep, the gentle melody fades away and he presses a soft kiss on your forehead. “sleep well, my love”

— diluc closes the tavern with a flower tucked behind his ear and an old record playing. “dance with me!” you say, and take his hands, dragging him to the center of the room. he blushes when you put his hand on your waist, but he soon falls into the steps as you slow dance in the candlelight, foreheads pressed together

— xiao spends his afternoon trying to catch crystalflies with his hands. he stands on his tiptoes, peering over a low tree branch, and you giggle as he clamps his hands around empty air. “what are you doing?” you ask. leaves cling to his hair, so you run your fingers through his dark locks and watch them fall to the ground. “trying to catch one for you” he grumbles, “because they’re pretty, like you are”

— zhongli leaves you letters sealed with wax slid under the door, left by your bed, or hidden in odd places that only the two of you would look, because he’s always thinking of you. three lines or five paragraphs laced with love to remind you that when it all seems like too much he is there, forever

— childe brings you to the boardwalk to watch the sun slip below the horizon and paint the sky orange and gold. as the last rays of light fade, he wraps an arm around you and pulls you close. “a lot of people get engaged at sunset” he says, slipping a ring on your finger. “do you wanna try it?”

— kazuha lays with his head in your lap, twirling blades of grass between his fingers. “what would i do without you?” he says, gazing up at you. it catches you off guard and your flustered face makes him laugh, high and clear, and he sits up to kiss your lips and feel your smile against his. it has always been the most beautiful thing to him
