Yae Miko, Beidou And Lisa Comforting GN Reader Going Through A Bad Depressive Episode

I'm not sure if it's okay to ask multiple requests (if so please feel free to ignore!), but I was wondering if I could also request Yae Miko/Beidou/Lisa comforting gn s/o through a bad depressive episode?

Multiple requests are allowed! :) I can't claim to be an expert regarding depression, so, figuring out what exactly is a "bad depressive episode" wasn't really easy... just like I'm not entirely confident with how effective this would be as comfort (besides writing for Beidou and Lisa for the first time). Thank you for the request nevertheless, I hope you like it despite the time it took!

Yae Miko, Beidou and Lisa comforting GN reader going through a bad depressive episode

Warnings: sensitive themes (depression), emotional

Yae Miko

You're no stranger to the fact she greatly enjoys midnight strolls

They help her soothe her mind after an exhaustingly unthrilling day at the shrine, or learning at Yae Publishing House that the competition dared to consume her market territory with their latest shabby release

Going for a walk so late also means that encounters with people are few, most of them are getting sleepy at this point anyway

This results in places being free of people's presence... typically, at least

Ambient music:

"Dear me, it appears we're crossing paths once again, S/O."

Her gaze immediately rests on you, as soon as she spots you, sitting on a rock by the beach beneath Inazuma City.

"Yae, I was... waiting for you, actually."

"Oh? Were you looking for my company, little one?"

You hum as you nod, inviting her at the same time to sit besides you on the rock.

"How considerate of you, I'll keep that in mind."

"It's also... the only pleasant thing I have nowadays, I fear..."

Her eyebrows lower in response, while your glance focuses back on the horizon of the sea, with the sound of the waves being the only ambient sound alongside the cicadas of summer nights.

"I just wonder... why do I even wake up in the morning...?"

Your hands rest flat on your laps, turning now into fists... though it's only a matter of seconds until her hand gently embrace one of your fists, caressing it a little in the process, as a subtle way to invite you to speak up. One of her tails peeks out meanwhile, surrounding your back and side in the next moment.

"Everyday, I just feel so... empty inside, so tired, no matter how long I sleep... or don't..."

"So what you're saying is... the darkness is consuming you from the inside, correct?"

"Yes..."

She exhales briefly, while her tail brings you a little closer from her. From this point on, you can also feel how her arm is wrapping around your shoulder, completing the tail's movement and now making your cheek rest against her shoulder. The two of you look out in the distance and remain silent for a while, simply enjoying each other's presence.

"S/O?"

"... hmm?"

"You might have forgotten the following, so I shall remind you, for good measure. You matter."

"What... are you implying?"

"What I'm implying is, even if you feel down and empty... it doesn't make you any less important, S/O. Besides, you basically admitted to not be fine, right? And acknowledgement... is a step toward recovery."

You slowly glance up at her again, and she welcomes it with her own. She might be more agitated on the inside than she appears to be on the outside, but her confident attitude serves as anchor - and as a lighthouse, even. While it's true she doesn't spare you from being teased from time to time, although within your boundaries of course, you cannot deny that her taking your concerns seriously is something you're grateful for.

"Of course, any recovery will take the time it requires... but you're not alone to make it through this hardship now, are you? Hmm?"

She gently squishes your shoulder with her hand as she speaks that out with a low voice, before beginning to massage it. Her stare remains fixated within your eyes.

"But... won't I be a burden to you...?"

"Not at all. Besides, it will put my mind at ease, to know that you're in good hands. Also, it might have escaped your attention as well, but you're strong. Being vulnerable is no easy feat, even less in the presence of someone. And I would rather not have anyone dare destroy the efforts you're pouring into getting better."

"Yae, I... I..."

Your view turns blurry as tears create in your eyes - tears which she wipes away with her delicate fingers, soon after.

"It's okay, let it out. Some feelings are best led outside than kept inside."

Seeing that your emotions are becoming increasingly present now, Yae Miko simply keeps holding you through without a word, with her comforting presence anchoring you, as you manage your feelings at your own pace, for as long as you need. It's only after you become a little more collected that she dares break the silence.

"The Grand Narukami Shrine has a few guest rooms. If you wouldn't mind, you could reside in one of them for the time being. That way, you would be close to me, should things get... uncomfortable again."

"That... would be much appreciated... Thank you, Yae..."

"No need to thank me, little one. I'm confident in your ability to make it through. You simply need a shoulder to rely on... for when it gets too tough for you to carry alone."

----------

Beidou

The two of you would regularly have a feast together, as a way to celebrate her bountiful returns from sailing around

It never escaped your attention that she has quite the appetite

... just like it didn't escape her attention when yours was, on this day, suspiciously low

Aside from this "detail", everything seemed normal on you, except perhaps your walking pace being slower as the two of you head back from the tavern... and your talkativeness while inside, too

But it would be foolish to believe that Captain Beidou, who has eyes for nothing but the finest treasures, wouldn't have eyes for her treasure

Ambient music:

"Hey, S/O... Something the matter?"

You don't say anything, instead simply stopping and glancing at her, whose steps bring her closer to you.

"I have a feeling there's something off about you tonight. Would you... like to chat about it?"

"Oh... no, no need... I'm fine. Thanks."

"Is that right?"

She sees through your attempt to reassure her with this little forced smile, causing her unpatched eye to narrow its sight on your form - you're anything but fine. Then, with a low sigh, she closes her eyes and uses her proximity from you to rest her hand on your shoulder, with far more delicacy than her feats and physical strength would suggest.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk it out, S/O. I just don't want you to ignore your own needs, that's all."

As your answer to her words consists of silence, and that you keep standing as idle as a tree, she takes the initiative to embrace you and pull you against her chest - though she didn't catch a prey, far from that.

"There, there. Nobody's around here at this time of night. I may not know how tough it must be for you now, but you're allowed to not feel alright. Your feelings matter, S/O. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise, you hear me?"

The proximity of her face to one of your ears allows her to whisper gently into it. Her voice, usually befitting of leading a crew, took now a softer tone that few people get to hear coming from her.

"You're doing good, even if you may not notice it. Every little achievement matters, even those that look mundane... especially these ones."

She now embraces your cheek with her hand, gently wiping a tear away with her thumb.

"Beidou..."

"You're not alone for fighting this. If there's anything you need, just say the word, whatever it may be."

She smiles in return as she notices your lips forming a tiny smile, out of your remaining strength.

"Want me to carry you back home?"

You nod and she proceeds to lift you with ease, through a secure and gentle grip. Then, she begins to walk but at a slower pace than earlier, to ensure that your ride will be comfortable enough.

"I'm proud of you S/O. I believe in you."

Just as a yawn catches up to your face, she began to hum a song to soothe your mind, eventually leading you to fall asleep under the safety of her watch and protection.

----------

Lisa

You both agreed to meet up at Good Hunter tonight, to share a meal together

However, despite waiting for you... you were nowhere to be seen

If this would be with someone else, Lisa's patience would probably have run dry by now, and those who miraculously survived forgetting to return a book in time, know very well about the consequences

But she knows you, and always appreciated your punctuality, so this must mean there's something up... and she's going to find out

First things first, she headed to your home in Mondstadt and knocked on the door a few times... eventually frowning as no reply reached her

That's strange, she thought; she knows for a fact that you're always home at this time of day

She knocks once more but to no avail, and after taking a quick glance around, she took the initiative to try open the door...

... which is unlocked, suspiciously enough; leading her to believe that you're home, after all

"Cutie? Are you in here? It's me, Lisa."

She glances around in the main room of your home, hoping to find you safe and sound. As you don't appear to be there, she then heads toward your bedroom, with worry beginning to raise within her, after each step she does.

The door is half-open. She takes a peek through its opening, and cannot retain a gasp upon finally seeing you - although not exclusively out of relief.

"S/O! What... happened to you?"

You know the situation is truly serious when she doesn't call you cutie or darling, nor is keeping up that perpetual confident smile. As you lay on your bed, consumed on the inside by the darkness, you manage to react to her question... although, with only a mere glance up at her, and just enough strength to weakly breath out her name.

"Lisa..."

She immediately sits on the bed, besides you, and then does a quick check-up of your condition. Her Akademiya knowledge soon kicks in and the realization hits her, as you could guess by her eyes opening wide.

"Here... let me help you."

Ambient music:

As her arms wrap around your form, you are met with what feels like a ray of moonlight piercing through the night. From a laying position on the bed, you have now been switched to being snuggled against her chest, held in place by the loving and gentle embrace of her arms.

"You are doing the best you can, S/O, even now. You're going through a hard time... and it's perfectly okay to not feel okay."

Her voice is low, but calm, and very tender. Her chin rests on your shoulder, cheek against cheek, while one of her hands stroke up and down along your back, providing you with a little bit of much-needed comfort - which you gladly welcome and acknowledge, through leading a little more toward her.

"If you feel the need to talk about it, know that I'm there for you, S/O, you will always have my full attention. And should you decide to remain silent, it's perfectly alright. In any case though, you matter to me, please remember that."

For the next few seconds, only silence fills up the room as she holds you closely, with the utmost motherly-like care possible, as she blesses you with her presence.

"Are you hungry? Thirsty, perhaps? I'll get you something, please wait here for me."

She removes the purple rose from her hair and then places it into your hand while she gets up, as a way to keep her present in your near, even if just a little bit.

"Here, keep this meanwhile. I'll be back in no time."

And she indeed didn't take long, for she returned soon enough with water as well as a handful of sandwiches - something convenient enough to feed you with, after setting you in a better position for this.

"If you don't mind, S/O, I will help you for the rest of your tasks tonight, and I'll come check up on you every day. That's the least I can do for you. I'll even make some potions, to help you get some relief. You won't have to face this burden alone, you have my word."

Thank you for reading! Link to main post

Happy Birthday, Sangonomiya Kokomi!

"The scenery of Watatsumi Island is pure and beautiful. Taking a stroll like this on the island, away from all disputes, is such a pleasant experience."

"Of course, this is all based on the premise that the people of Watatsumi Island live far from conflict and in happiness."

"Ah, I'm starting to think about these things again... Just relax now, it's only a stroll, let me clear my mind."

It’s not your job to be likable. It’s your job to be yourself. The right people will gravitate.

was that on genshingorlsrevengeance's blog? that was actually me haha 😂 that notice board message melted my heart, she's so sweet

that's a good point about alice making her cry, i didn't think about that. of course it could have just been a natural part of growing up since she was a kid back then, but it's an interesting contrast between young miko crying because of alice and present miko keeping her real emotions very hidden, it makes you wonder at what specific point she changed. my guess would be at some point when ei went into euthymia 🤔

those are some good picks, i only know bits and pieces about them but i really like black swan and aventurine too! my favourite is kafka, she's the one i downloaded the game for hahah i have a type

i didn't think about robin being an ayaka expy :0 i don't know a lot about star rail but i think i remember hearing that she's also a little sister with an older brother

-🐈‍⬛

It's possible, I follow this blog, and I think I might even have reblogged that post in particular; didn't check to be sure though... But she's indeed definitely sweet!

That sounds plausible enough; plus, being a youkai doesn't help to bound to the fullest with humans, so, 500 years... 🤔

Ironically, I got her twice in 10 pulls (E1) during her first banner, and I still don't even simp for her whatsoever, while literally everyone else casually calls her "mommy" 🗿

That's one explanation, plus they roughly share the same traits, kind of... not to mention that Alice once invited Ayaka to become an idol (Barbara, though, received it too and could accept), but here Robin basically is one 🤔

Was That On Genshingorlsrevengeance's Blog? That Was Actually Me Haha 😂 That Notice Board Message

i'd love to make more requests! are you comfortable writing about depression/apathy? i would love to see miko with a usually outwardly bubbly/silly reader who's struggling with those things, if you're comfortable writing about it

also i'm not sure if you accept emoji anons, but if so could i please be 🐈‍⬛ anon?

I can give it a try, I would firstly need to dig into the subject though, for the sake of realism and accuracy, considering the sensitivity of the topic (I may have some knowledge and a vague idea, but I would rather be sure) 🤔

Perfectly fine by me, it will make it a bit more convenient to see fellow recurring customers 👀

Everyday, I go insane about how little content there is of Baizhu (and when there is it's just so fucked up 😭 no shade to those who like it but how on earth is Baizhu tag on AO3 looking like just a list of trigger warnings in DMMD)

So I'm being the change I wanna see, his bday letter inspired me.

Baizhu's S/O helping him rest up

Reader here is gender neutral

Dating Baizhu had always been quite an interesting experience, but with time you quickly got used to his quirks. One of them being Changsheng telling on him when he's neglecting himself.

You were preparing a small surprise for his birthday, nothing too extravagant but still a sweet gesture for your beloved...

That is until you noticed the adepti slithering your way. Your attention went to her right away as she explained what's going on.

With Gui being out of commission and Qiqi caring for patients, Baizhu's fatigue- although his own doing- was something that worried you.

So while it wasn't like he was sick, due to his condition it sometimes feels like it's one and the same. Besides, if he'd listen to anyone that would be you... Sometimes.

And once he saw you with Changsheng around your arm he already knew what the snake was up to.

Despite your worried expression he only laughed and tried to reassure you that he was okay... Emphasis on tried because he looked like he was going to pass out any second.

You walked up to his desk and took his hands, placing away the brush he was writing with "You're impossible..." Was the only thing you said at the moment before he started with more excuses.

After all this season changing makes it so easy to get sick he was only trying to write up a list of remedies... Maybe make some sort of pamphlet or advertisement with his advice and some easy to make remedies and recipes...

Speaking of which he was just done thinking of one. He wrote down the special tea blend and yet he hasn't made it to check if his curse of bitter medicine touched also on tea as well.

As he kept on talking you decided to agree to taste test the tea, but only if he rested afterwards. That compromise he could agree to.

You went on to follow the written instructions and by the time you were done he actually fell asleep on his desk.

(If you're strong) Rolling your eyes, you pick up your lover gently. Trying to not jostle him awake and took him to his home which was pretty much a part of the pharmacy. His work really is his whole life...

Once he's settled in his bed you take off his glasses and look closely at his handsome face. Adoring every wrinkle and yet... Finding yourself worried upon looking at the dark circles under his eyes.

He probably forgot it was his birthday too, which wouldn't be the first time. You lay down next to him and tuck a strand of his hair behind his ear and just let him rest. It was still pretty early so you'd get to spoil him for his birthday later today anyways.

For now, you just enjoyed the silent moment. You wanted to be with him when he wakes up. As you thought about your plans however you tried to think of a way to make him follow you. Of course he's not THAT stubborn... But you never know what his priorities will be once he wakes up. Especially since today looked like "work priority" day for him.

(If you're not strong enough to lift him) You didn't like how he was positioned and yet you didn't know if you wanted to gamble waking him up and then trying to argue with him to sleep. Because despite his promise you had a feeling he'd think of a way to do as he pleased.

After a moment of hesitation you decided to trust your lover's word and woke him up. He apologized for his drowsiness and went ahead to ask you questions about his medicine.

You answered his questions quickly to change the subject to his promise. Which he remembered and his little nap made him aware of his lack of arguments.

He leaned onto you and together you walked to his home. Of course he didn't fall asleep the moment he laid down. The two of just talked for a while. Holding each other close until he drifted away.

Hello there, and welcome! 😊

Link to masterlist

I'm a male alien INFJ (at least, I strongly suspect it) who descended in this mortal realm in the year of 1998. I have a little bit of writing experience, though I wouldn't call it a proper hobby...

After the idea floated around my mind for a while now, I decided to give a try to writing headcanons/short fics, specifically for Genshin Impact (with now a bit of Honkai Star Rail), with a particular focus on comfort/fluff.

I got inspired to do this after seeing how often I would turn to comfort or fluff content on tumblr, as a way to cope with the void of loneliness (sometimes overthinking too). As such, why not add my own contribution... as long as it can, hopefully, provide some relief to one person out there.

Asks are open (anon allowed) for requests and chatting (and DMs for chatting if you feel like it) 👀

Please read all the rules first though!

Universes I can write for

Genshin Impact

Honkai Star Rail

Characters I feel rather confident to write for

Genshin Impact

Kamisato Ayaka

Yae Miko

Fischl

Furina (before or after 4.2 archon quest)

Lumine (with or without Paimon)

Honkai Star Rail

Ruan Mei

Here below, characters I may possibly write for

I'm not as confident regarding them, so "ask at your own risks", I suppose. For those I didn't mention, I'm not against writing for them... Maybe, I can actually write them well, and I just don't know it yet 🙃

Genshin Impact

Zhongli

Neuvillette

Sangonomiya Kokomi

Nahida (strictly platonic and SFW, obviously)

Chiori

Navia

Albedo

Nilou

Charlotte

Yanfei

Amber

Wanderer

Beidou

Lisa

Arataki Itto

Clorinde

Keqing

Shenhe

Honkai Star Rail

Black Swan

Robin

Sparkle

March 7th

Tingyun

What I can write

reader X character (with reader by default as gender neutral for wider audience's sake, unless a request demands a different one)

mainly fluff and comfort (reader comforting, or being comforted by character)

I don't exclude mentions of hurt or angst as context for the above (unless a request specifically demands it), some conditions related to mental health (loneliness, overthinking and its consequences) aren't excluded either

platonic (not entirely confident with romance, see Miscellaneous below), eventually light romance, but nothing intense

headcanons, eventually fics (fics may be included in headcanons if I'm feeling inspired; no guarantees though)

What I would rather not write

Unless you're lucky and your request is within my abilities, just be aware though they're not my preferences (= you would be wise to ask someone who actually writes for those, instead of me)

smut/+18/NSFW/NSFL (not out of dislike/disgust/discomfort, but due to no experience in writing this kind of sensitive stuff)

intense romance & flirting (not really into romance, so, better to be safe than sorry...)

yandere (no experience in this)

genderswap (not really interested...)

character x character (check above, "intense romance & flirting")

Miscellaneous:

By default, the reader will be gender neutral and referred to as S/O (please specify in the request, if you wish for specific nicknames or other pronouns to be used!), I want my blog to be open to everyone 😊

Multiple requests are allowed

I aim to write characters in a realistic manner, meaning I will base myself upon canon actions & voice lines from them

I'm not familiar with everything regarding LGBT+ and the autism spectrum (I'm not against writing about them, it's just that it will be a bit more difficult, and will require some research on my side)

I may not accept every request I receive (I'm no professional writer; plus, everything is done for free, during my free time)

I plan to add a link to ambient music to listen to, for immersion's sake (it may be emotional on purpose, at times), ideally to open in a new tab, so it can keep playing in background as you scroll along

Please don't interact if you don't have a civilized behavior; that is to say, be respectful, no hate, etc...

Headcanons are called headcanons for a reason; it's fine if you don't agree with mine, but that doesn't allow you to consider yours as superior/the only one 😉

If you own a blog which has "men dni" (or "mutuals only" and we aren't)... then what are you still doing here? *vine boom sound effect* Just kidding, I don't mind you interacting (I'm not like other men, and it's not like I could choose my gender at birth anyway; arbitrary discrimination be damned), though be aware this would technically be hypocrisy... so you ought to use anon, for your own public image's sake 🤨

Take care and have a nice day/night 😊
