 ♡ quite happy:

        Kara had started making specialty drinks for Angelshare on Tuesday nights. She’d moved back to Mondstadt and spent most of her time arranging her furniture in the apartment above Lisa’s. If she wasn’t settling in, she was reading on her balcony or having preparatory meetings with Jean.

        Grand Master Jean had recently appointed Kara as her medical advisor. Years ago, Kara had been a Knight. That was before she went off to Sumeru with Lisa, her childhood friend, to study.

        Kara had studied field medicine and honed her pyro vision. She did groundbreaking research. She created pyro-infused potions that became long-term solutions for trauma survivors. She pioneered sutures that saved hundreds of lives and limbs on the battlefield.

        After her last few years of horrific injuries and tragic deaths, she liked mixing drinks. She appreciated the simplicity of drunkards like Nimrod. She liked to talk to Charles, another one of the bartenders, about the weather in the evenings.

        She had accepted the gig as a favor to Diluc. She owed him a few from years ago, but she considered it a favor to her as well. She liked that her workplace tonight wasn’t stained with blood.

        “I’m headed out to clean the tables,” Charles said.

        “Okay,” Kara said, not paying much mind. She reached up onto one of the higher shelves to put back a skinny green bottle of elixir.

        On Tuesdays, it was usually the regulars at the tavern. She had come to learn this even in the few weeks she had been here.

        She’d also learned that she could take a breath here. With her impending stress as the new medical advisor for the city, she welcomed a few sips on the tavern's dime.

        She snuck a sip from her concoction behind the bar. She took a small glass vial from her bag, tipping it bottom up into her glass. It was a shot of her own creation, one that helped with hangovers too. As she went in for a second sip, she heard the movement of a chair as a patron sat down at the counter.

        “What can I get you?” she asked, swallowing it and feeling the warmth settle into her chest.

        “What do you recommend these days? I trust you haven’t come all the way from Sumeru to not impress your patrons.”

        The familiar, forever-taunting voice made the fire in Kara’s chest turn cold.

        “Yes,” she said. Her tone was still as she grasped who was sitting in front of her. “I do hope I can impress you.”

        “Well, that depends. Are you free to take a hike to Starsnatch Cliff?” Kaeya asked.

        Kara felt her face turn red. She remembered being teenagers again, new recruits together. Those days, they would dream up elaborate dares for each other.

        They always had a case of Kara’s beginner potions and Kaeya's flask in hand. They would get into trouble all night long and be at training in the morning.

        They had made it to a bed of flowers on Starsnatch Cliff once, the summer before they never saw each other again. Kaeya brought strong tavern wine. Kara brought her latest experimental enchanted berries. Their friendship changed forever that night.

        “When hell freezes over, Kaeya,” she said, as calm as she could. She hardly stifled her embarrassment.

        She knew how much he lived to get a reaction from people. Once upon a time, she had a foot in front of him in that race.

        “I’m sure with your help, I could make that happen,” he said with a smile.

        “Right,” Kara said. She reached up onto her tiptoes to grab a goblet from one of the higher shelves in the glassware cabinet.

        “You haven’t grown much,” Kaeya said with a laugh. She could tell from the sing-song of his laugh that he’d been drinking too. “Would you like some help?”

        “That’s okay,” Kara said. She set the goblet on the counter in front of him. “I don’t think Master Diluc would like you behind the bar.”

        Kaeya scoffed, not bothering to hide the roll of his eyes.

        “Master?” he drew out. “Fancy that. You’re keen on him again.”

        Kara all but laughed in his face.

        “Again,” she repeated. “That was over a decade ago. Besides, Master Diluc is my boss now. I don’t think that would be appropriate.”

        “Huh. You must’ve had a change of heart since I’ve spoken to you last,” Kaeya said, making sure to meet her eyes. “I didn’t know it bothered you to fraternize with your coworkers.”

        Kara bit her lip down. Whether to keep herself from giggling or snapping at him, she didn’t know. She figured it was the wine-mix she’d been drinking that made her end up with a smile.

        “What am I making you?” she asked. She slid the goblet down to the other end of the bar. She had tall shot glasses already filled with her homemade specialty drinks.

        “Quite happy,” Kaeya said. His smile looked a little dizzy.

        “Sure,” Kara quipped. “I can make you a ‘Quite Happy’.”

        A few pours and shakes later, Kara’s new bestselling drink was born. It tasted snappy, and the aftertaste was sweet. Indigo glitter danced around in the stillest of glasses.

        When Kaeya brought the cup to his mouth for the first time, Kara felt the warmth in her chest again. It matched his eyes just right.

       you had started making specialty drinks for angelshare on tuesday nights. you moved back to mondstadt and spent most of your time arranging the furniture in the apartment above lisa’s. If you weren't settling in, you would read on the balcony or have preparatory meetings with jean.

        grandmaster jean had recently appointed you as her medical advisor. years ago, you had been a knight. that was before you went off to sumeru with lisa, a childhood friend, to study.

        you studied field medicine and honed your pyro vision. you did groundbreaking research. you created pyro-infused potions that became long-term solutions for trauma survivors, pioneered sutures that saved hundreds of lives and limbs on the battlefield.

        you accepted the gig as a favor to diluc. you owed him a few from years ago, but you considered it a favor to you as well. you liked that your workplace this night wasn’t stained with blood.

        “i’m headed out to clean the tables,” charles said.

        “okay,” you said, not paying much mind.

        “what do you recommend these days? i trust you haven’t come all the way from sumeru to not impress your patrons.”

        the familiar, forever-taunting voice made the fire in your chest turn ice.

        “yes,” she said. your tone was still grasping at who was sitting in front of you as you turned to face him. “i do hope i can impress you.”

        “well, that depends. are you free to take a hike to starsnatch cliff?” kaeya asked.

        you felt her face turn red. you remembered being teenagers again, new recruits for the knights together. those days, you would dream up elaborate dares for each other.

        you two always had a case of your beginner potions and kaeya's flask in hand. you would get into trouble all night long and be at training in the morning.

        you had made it to a bed of flowers on starsnatch cliff once, the summer before they never saw each other again. kaeya brought strong tavern wine. you brought your latest experimental enchanted berries. your friendship changed forever that night.

        “when hell freezes over, kaeya,” she said, as calm as you could.

you hardly stifled her embarrassment. you were unsure if the heat in your face was from the liquor settling into your cheeks or your attempts to keep your memories at bay.

        you knew how much he lived to get a reaction from people. once upon a time, you had a foot in front of him in that race.

        “i’m sure with your help, i could make that happen,” he said with a smile.

        “right,” you said.

you reached up onto her tiptoes to grab a goblet from one of the higher shelves in the glassware cabinet.

        “you haven’t grown much,” kaeya said with a laugh.

you could tell from the sing-song of his laugh that he’d been drinking too. you could feel his eyes shamelessly tumble over your body as you reached up.

“would you like some help?”

         “that’s okay,” you said, stubborn as usual.

you set the goblet on the counter in front of him.

“i don’t think master diluc would like you behind the bar.”

        kaeya scoffed, not bothering to hide the roll of his eyes.

        “master?” he drew out. “fancy that. you’re keen on him again.”

        you all but laughed in his face.

        “again,” you repeated. “that was over a decade ago. besides, master diluc is my boss now. i don’t think that would be appropriate.”

        “huh," he said.

he paused for a moment, taking you in your face now too, as if he was tracing over a sketch from his memory with his eyes. you were stricken with the sight of him again too. you couldn't meet his gaze, though. you lingered on the smaller things: the dip in his chin, the long front of his hair that fell over his face.

"you must’ve had a change of heart since i’ve spoken to you last,” kaeya said, tempting your gaze upward to his.

“i didn’t know it bothered you to fraternize with your coworkers.”

        you bit your lip down. whether to keep herself from giggling or snapping at him, you didn’t know. you reasoned it was the wine-mix you'd been drinking that made you end up with a smile, but this denial was familiar to you. to you when every time you were with him.

        “what am I making you?” you asked.

you slid the goblet down to the other end of the bar. you had tall corked bottles lined between the two of you.

        “quite happy,” kaeya said.

his smile looked a little dizzy. his face looked as pink as yours felt, and he leaned into his elbows toward you.

if charles had returned to the bar, you hadn't noticed. the world beyond the space between you didn't seem to exist anymore. like it had always been with kaeya.

        “sure,” kara quipped, a beat late from being lost in the feeling of your reunion. “i can make you a ‘quite happy’.”

        a few pours and shakes later, your new bestselling drink was born. it tasted snappy, and the aftertaste was sweet. indigo glitter danced around in the stillest of glasses.

        when kaeya brought the cup to his mouth for the first time, you felt the warmth in your chest again—like you'd taken a shot from the vial. the drink matched his eyes just right.

hey you look so cool :)

thanks so much! im still working on building this tumblr out but it's a really cool space to be creative

dva (hana song) x brigitte | dva (hana song) x dae-hyun

After Hana Song (D.va) self-destructs her mech Tokki, she endures a long recovery. At the end of it, she is on honorable leave from the Korean military and her e-sports career is at a screeching halt. When a prestigious mech racing ring recruits her, she convinces herself that she needs to win.

The only problem is that she needs a built-from-scratch mech for the races. With her mechanic Dae-Hyun repairing Tokki, Hana searches for more help. A second mech would help her recover from her PTSD, anyway. Eager to recruit her, Overwatch connects Hana with mechanic Brigitte Lindholm.

Despite feelings for Dae-Hyun days before, Hana can't shake her fascination with Brig. Amidst her desire for a new sense of purpose, another identity crisis forms: her sexuality. 

As her physical wounds finally begin to heal, her inner world is again in pieces. Hana finds herself with a hidden agenda, two disassembled mechs, a blossoming crush, and an ongoing struggle with the idea of sacrifice.
