genshin boys x gn!reader [ ALBEDO DILUC VENTI XIAO KAZUHA ]

genre angst.

story the world is ending, doomsday is here.

As The World Comes Crashing Down.

ALBEDO has never been the talkative type. social interactions and idle chitchat have never held a candle to his heart’s desire — the dream to accquire limitless knowledge left behind by scholars of the past. so when the last star in the sky finally explodes, he hugs you close in an embrace. he has remorse and regret for never being able to confess his heart to you, as his heart was not that of a human, but a mere experiment. in his mind, you should deserve to be with someone real — someone capable of loving, feeling and touching. it is all he wishes for. but in the last moments of oxygen, he allows himself to be selfish. as the world comes crashing down, albedo finally feels the humans’ selfish desire — love.

DILUC is but a mystery to the people of monstadt. most are not aware of why he had retreated into his own world, becoming more secretive and reserved. under that cold facade is a soul that has sworn to protect his city and people, mercilessly vanquishing all who dare threaten the peaceful paradies that is monstadt. to others, diluc is the epitome of perfection — successful, wealthy and strong. diluc has reached all the traditional markers of being successful. but to him, he has not yet even so glanced at the true success of life. diluc looks at you in bittersweet nonchalance. his heart falters in guilt as he realises, he has found success in you. ‘success’ is a debatable topic, most view it as getting wealthy or having fame. but to the few that have experienced the cruel realities — success is happiness. diluc finds his happiness in you. so as the world comes crashing down, a feeling of accomplishment laces his heart as he caresses your face for one last time.

VENTI is one to live blissful ignorance. under a carefree, playful persona, he is absent. he is absent to the city he was supposed to protect and look after, he is absent to his title as an archon, and he is absent to himself — the form he takes of a youthful young man is not his to wear, the title of an ‘archon’ is not his to bear, and his sadness is not his to tear. instead, it should’ve been his late friend to wear the appearance of a young bard, to dawn the title of the ‘saviour who ended a reign of evil’ and the happiness to cheer. venti has nothing, he is nothing. all he has left are the memories of him and his dearest companion. but, as the tides flow in and the winds change current, those too are close to being lost in his inner battle with himself. venti has seen it all, the destruction of khaen’riah, the corruption of old monstadt and the defeat of dvalin — but as he strums his lyre to you, witnessing the end of another world, he sees worth in himself. centuries had passed with him being blinded by a coat of grief, but in this moment, next to you, he sees that he has something. something to cherish, love and keep. and that ‘something’, was you. as the world comes crashing down, venti is glad that someone cherishes him, loves him and wants to keep him, too.

XIAO lets it all out — all the words and worries he has been bottling up for the past millennium all out. xiao is a silent watcher, he is reserved and barely speaks when unneeded. there is a reason of this, he is afraid. xiao is afraid that he might say something wrong or hurtful, as many have expressed to him before. nothing good ever came out of his mouth, or so he thought. for eons, he has been alone. he was always alone when trekking the roads and mountains of liyue, alone when watching the sun set as a new dawn emerges, and alone when he is fighting back the evil karma. with that, none have been there with him — for him. but he finds his solace in you. xiao is not yet ready to really speak his mind and tell you how much he adores you, as his mind tells him that you’ll leave one day, forgetting all the love he had allowed himself to give. but, with your guidance, he is slowly getting used to talking about his day, talking about his feelings and his concerns. it is in your embrace that he tries to become a better person — for you. as the walls cave in and the screams of help silence, it is in your touch he finds it safe enough to let it all out. as the world comes crashing down, he whispers bittersweetly, “i love you.”

KAZUHA looks at you in awe. he takes these last few moments to appreciate you — his light, life and love. with his explorative hands and curious gaze, he has wandered throughout teyvat whilst holding the hand he so adored. as he played the silent call of the winds to you, as he charmed you with his words, as he sheltered you from the rain with his arms, as he journeyed through everything with you — he loves you. in his darkest times, when the relentless thrashing of waves would overtake and drown him, a hand would reach out to pull him into a soft daydream. although he has travelled only a corner of the universe, as the world comes crashing down, he looks at you and thinks that his life had taken the turn for the best.

As The World Comes Crashing Down.

mmffff next fic will be fluff 🙏🏻

Crucial Wish 🏷

GUYS OMG AN INTERESTING THEORY JUST CROSSED MY MIND. HEAR ME OUT:

(Note: sorry for the random disappearance, I promise to post more often, ALSO SPOILERS FROM CHAP. 79)

Okay okay so, after chapter 79 we can all confirm that Tsukasa of the Red House is the actual REAL one and the one of the school is a sort of FAKE one.

Crucial Wish 🏷
Crucial Wish 🏷

Very well.

We know that after more than 1 year and half Tsukasa (fake one) appeared out of nowhere, so when Amane was about 5.

(Chapter 79 reference)

Crucial Wish 🏷

You are might wondering: “yeah uh, WHAT’S THE POINT GIRL?”

Ahem, you remember the Star Festival Arc (chapter 37-38)? Amane and “Tsukasa” were CLEARLY older than the ones we saw in the Red House Arc, thus confirms that the fake Tsukasa was already there... and yeah, this was pretty obvious though.

(Chapter 78 & 38 references)

Red House Arc Star Festival Arc

Crucial Wish 🏷
Crucial Wish 🏷

So the fake one was there with Amane, spending the evening together until he left him for 3 hours... BUT he likely came back at some point, don’t you think?

AND SO, what if he came back exactly after Amane hanged the tags at the bamboo tree? Imagine it this way: Amane finished hanging the tag, staring at it with the hope of this coming true someday...

(Chapter 38 reference)

Crucial Wish 🏷

...BOOM IT DID.

Some might say: “The tree grants wishes of whoever hang the tags on it”

Yeah but nah.

Guys, think about it a little more, the tree is a just a popular rumor that became an actual and truthful one in the Far Shore, thus in the supernatural world.

(Chapter 37 reference)

Crucial Wish 🏷

I doubt the tree itself really granted Amane’s wish back then... and this leads to the point of this whole post:

chapter 79 was an huge reveal that, indeed, fake Tsukasa may be an extension of the spirit of the Red House. And, of course, as its extension he reads the minds of people whom want their wish granted and grants them in return with a price (just like with Kunishige-kun).

(Chapter 79 reference)

Crucial Wish 🏷

We know, Amane’s wish changed thanks to Nene’s appearance, this way leading him to wish to see her again in a near future.

Tsukasa already knew that as he read his mind back then, and what happen when he does so?

YEP, HE GRANTS IT GUYS.

Just like in chapter 79 with Kunishige, I suppose “Tsukasa” did the exact thing with Amane: wouldn’t this be a good huge plottwist for the manga though? (Since we’ve already had a LOT of them, geez xd)

Amane’s deepest and dearest wish was not to be an astronaut anymore, frankly, he already gave up on that wish as soon as he saw Nene, as soon as he realized there was something way more important for him to wish for.

Tsukasa knew that.

He freaking knew.

And this hurts guys... I’m in tears.

Think of it this way: the reason why Amane killed “Tsukasa”, the reason why his fate changed again, the reason why there was the messy family death, wouldn’t it make sense if this all were by the power of that house? By the extension of that power, thus the fake Tsukasa?

Amane’s fate was already changed by real Tsukasa’s wish which the house GRANTED, it would make terribly sense if Amane’s fate was AGAIN changed with his wish GRANTED by the sort of extension of the house, fake Tsukasa!

The house is basically playing an HUGE role here, constantly changing Amane’s fate where, at the end, it ironically led to his initial destiny: dying.

Aside that, I think the house kind of teased the real Tsukasa, the price wasn’t only him disappearing, I think it had a way bigger thing all planned out, that’s why the Yugi twins backstory is so depressing and incredibly heartbreaking.

After all, if you think of it, Amane’s wish was granted by the time he met Nene when he was alive, so “Tsukasa” made his wish come true that very day.

7th July 1964 when he changed paths, thus wish.

18th July 1969 when his long awaited wish came true.

This means he granted Amane’s wish only 6 years later (supposing it went like that).

((I want to point out that time travels don’t happen randomly, there’s always a reason why they are happening. As when that door led Nene to past Amane’s class: it could’ve led her literally somewhere else but, surprise! Straight to past Amane’s class... coincidence? Or when she got hit by a bull, why making her being hit if it wasn’t for actual important plot reasons?))

(Chapter 22 reference)

Crucial Wish 🏷

And what happens next?

The price!

As sad as it sounds, the price of his wish was maybe his own life and not only his but of the whole family whom lived in that cursed house... hm, something here is missing, why taking everyone’s lives (including fake Tsukasa’s life itself) if the house could’ve just took only Amane’s life as a price?

Something else must have happened for sure and we have to wait a little more sadly. We still need to know a lot about this shady situation and the cursed Red House, BUT HOWEVER Amane’s initial wish at the Star Festival Arc might be a good clue which led to the dramatic events and Amane’s sudden change of fate (again), like it makes so much sense.

Or else why putting that panel if it wasn’t effective for the plot? Not only for romantic purposes but even for something way bigger...

(Chapter 38 reference)

Crucial Wish 🏷

This ends here! (Long enough lol)

(Sorry for any grammatical mistakes I’m so tired damn)

till we meet again

synopsis: aether is crowned prince of the abyss. before that, he had you.

pairing: abyss prince!aether x gn!reader, mutual feelings

genre: idk what you call this. 12am angst brainrot?

notes: i woke up from like three minutes of sleep and chose abyss prince aether. i have class in six hours, but i also have priorities

Till We Meet Again
Till We Meet Again

limbs aching from running, clawing their way through the falling city that was once so glorious. the sky of blue and white had now turned crimson red with the black smoke of fires burning in the distance. and among it all is you, standing on a fallen pillar with a fire starting at your feet. aether is briefly reminded of how witches of other worlds were burned at stake for the sins people accused them off. magic is nothing foreign to these lands, but aether thinks that if he were to accuse you of a crime; it’d be taking his heart.

lumine would laugh at him, in a way his sister always would when she realised he had a crush. leaving your poor twin sister alone so soon? in the back of his head, he whispers an apology to her. how he would have loved to die after seeing those flowers in her hair, the wild smile on her face while they sparred or even just feel her hand in his as they jumped to another world.

he’s sure she would have loved you.

she would have loved you, even as you looked around the chaos with a bright grin. loved you for loving her brother, for staying by his side when she couldn’t. she would have loved you, if only not for the fact that you’re dying and neither you nor aether know when you will return.

the flames on the pillar have grown, devouring your lower half slowly. even then, you don’t flinch. aether wonders how many times you’ve done this, whether or not it’s easier than falling asleep for you. he hopes it is. if you ever felt a prick of pain, he would kill the damn god that cursed you, and then everyone else.

“aether.”

he drops to a knee at your call, the scraped skin meeting burnt grass. he does not wince or blink, wanting to keep this image of you in his mind. aether doesn’t know how many generations will pass till the gods give you back to him.

“your highness.”

“there’s no need for such formalities, especially coming from my darling prince.” you laugh, like a songbird on a spring morning. aether will miss the sound of it, “time is almost up.”

“yes.” his voice wavers, and your smile becomes sad. verbal confrontation was never something between you both. the truth was told with blades, the violent dance in the battlefield. your coming death had never been discussed explicitly, even now. oh, how aether wishes you could die by his hands instead.

“you know what you are to do, correct?”

“of course,” aether says, firm and determined. he had made his decision long ago, and sacrifices were to be made.

you were the first.

you smile at him, proud and sad at the same time. aether wonders if he reminds you of yourself from long ago. i will not let you lose your love again, he thinks when you offer him a hand through the flames. he takes it, wishing he could pull you out of the flames that glow golden once your hands meet. never again.

“at this moment, i hereby renounce my title as monarch of the abyss. let what is left of us hear my last order; that aether will take my place as your prince, now and forevermore.”

and with that, the flames begin to burn even hotter. but aether stays, ignoring the look of surprise and questioning on your face as he hooks his pinky with yours.

“500 years,” he whispers, almost desperate as the golden flames sear his skin, “500 years is all i’ll give you to come back to me. that is an order.”

it’s the first and only chance he has to demand something of you, now that he is the prince and you are dying. despite the flames eating you alive, you smile at him once again, bittersweet in a way your love has always been. aether wishes he could kiss you.

“anything for you.”

and with those three words, you’re gone. aether stands in front of the charred pillar, breathing out a sigh. the world continues to burn around him, but he simply stares at the place you once stood. the gods wouldn’t even leave your ashes, he thought bitterly.

he doesn’t, or just can’t, dwell on it. aether kneels before the pillar one last time, head hung low, before he stands up and leaves to search for what is left of the army you gave him.

it will be a long 500 years.

Till We Meet Again

I got introspective one day and sketched out a 6 panel comic. It sat in a folder for a few days before I expanded it to 10. Then it sat for a week. After which, I moved on. The expiration date had passed, and the comic joined the rest of the half-drawn files in the very same folder. 

I still don’t like it anymore, but I’ll take the victories where I can.

“you liar!” the sound of your hands slamming the table resonated in the room, “you dirty, cheating, liar!”

oikawa was shocked. no, “shocked” was an understatement. he was dumbfounded. all the tricks, the games - he’d never meant for you to find out, to see through his facade. he’d been doing so well, too. to think that it would all come crashing down because of a slip of a tongue. how reckless. heaven knows how long he’ll ponder over this. “i could’ve done better!”, is all he’ll tell himself. you’ll never let him live this down, either.

“guys!” you were both snapped out of a trance as iwaizumi shouted. “i think it’s time to stop playing monopoly.”
