For the same boys pls ^^

i’m so glad you liked the short s/o post! as someone who’s constantly touch-starved (I MISS MY PARTNERS) but too shy to ask for someone to hold me… it’s my time to shine again. i hope you enjoy these!

xiao

⋆ xiao will never admit it, but he’s also touch-starved.

⋆ he might see that you feel that way, but it’ll still take a while for him to do anything about it

⋆ if you explicitly ask xiao to hold your hand, hug you, touch you in any way, he’ll scoff and roll his eyes, but his arms are open as soon as you ask

⋆ but if you’re really unwilling to ask—you know how he is about humans and their human things, after all—then pray to the gods he’ll figure it out on his own

⋆ he does, eventually, asking you what has you so on edge and distant lately

⋆ you explain that you’ve been feeling touch-starved, and he responds with “why didn’t you ask for me?”

⋆ and then you explain that you didn’t want to bother him or possibly upset him

⋆ you hear him snort, and then he pulls you—a little more roughly than necessary—into his arms

⋆ he gets better at recognizing when you need him to hold you, and you work on asking him for help whenever you’re feeling touch-starved

⋆ he’ll give in whenever you ask, it just takes him a second to relax whenever either of you touches the other, because he’s truly not used to it

⋆ xiao will always claim it’s ridiculous that you’re so needy for physical contact, but you can tell he enjoys it. although his gaze is averted from yours, he always blushes lightly and pulls you even closer to him.

tw: mentions of self harm and suicide, mental health issues and angst with a bit of fluff

xiao x gn! reader

a/n: first post on the blog! decided to show some xiao love and u h angst ehe. sorry for the downer but i haven’t been doing so well and meds don’t do much DDDX

i would like to clarify that if any of these scenarios/hc's of mine are similar to other writers' works, it is unintentional and i apologize

“reckless thing, you are-” the yaksha huffs and ceases his own words as he coughs at your impact on his chest. “how many times have i reminded you to stop running up or down the stairs?” he scowls. you know he means well.

“ah, sorry xiao,” you chuckle, “i’m just excited to see you, is all.” you push yourself off the chest that caught you and peered gleefully at the male. he seems annoyed to the unknowing mortals passing by, but as a person who has spent half their time ‘pestering’ (as he says) the adeptus, you can quickly tell that he was merely relieved and was trying to hide it—although he’d rather deal with karmic debt twice his own than to admit such fondness for you. “thanks by the way.”

xiao diverts his gaze onto the railing of the stairs, “this is the fourth time this week that you’ve gotten yourself into dangerous and careless situations. are you sure you’re keeping an eye out for yourself?” he interrogates you as if he were your guardian, which he might as well be, you nod earnestly at his question.

“don’t worry about me, i’d never dream of leaving you alone.” you giggle. this answer of yours urged the adeptus to cringe and tell you to stop thinking like you’re all important and whatnot, but he knew he’d be lying if he said you weren’t someone he treasures deeply. “i swear on it!” you add.

“hmph, fine.” he begins to walk away, stopping for a second. xiao hesitates to take the next step without a word and decides to leave you with a message,

“if you ever find yourself in trouble, no matter how small or big–if you know that it’ll cause you any harm, call out my name. i’ll be there.”

you appreciated that.

to be fair, xiao did not bring up his concern because of your recent recklessness, but how dim you seem in comparison to how you were before. yes, you still smiled brightly, but the lanterns in the sky easily outshines you. your eyes still held warmth, but warmth that fleeted every now and then if not focused on the adeptus’. he worried that something was gnawing at the back of your mind and causing said recklessness as of current. 

he knows mortals are weak, fragile, and although he does not look down on you too much, he still feels the need to protect you from even the slightest of disturbances, which is what led to his conclusion now; to check up on you.

‘where in teyvat are they?’ xiao furrows his eyebrows in frustration as he knocks on the door to your house for the sixth time.as he reaches out to knock once more, he flinches slightly when the door opens.

what the hell?

“oh! xiao, what are you doing here?” you smile. 

he could see how distressed you are, even from a mile away, he presumes. you look weaker, thinner and definitely worse than three days ago. eyes as dull as a blank canvas that hasn’t been acknowledged by it’s artist for years, limbs as frail as a dried flower’s petals. what in archons happened to you?

“y/n, what in the seven happened? what’s with your weak physique? you clearly haven’t been taking care of yourself.” he moves to grab your arm but you draw it back quickly before he could catch it. he grows more and more irritated as your silence greets his question, left to be unanswered.

“i’m sorry, xiao, but could you leave me be for a while? i’ll visit you soon, i promise!” 

ah, there you go again with your promises.

“why the hell would i leave after seeing you on the brink of fainting? someone has to look out for you if you aren’t going to yourself!” he exclaims as he grows more and more livid by the second. 

you huff in annoyance, “why do you care? you have millions of other people to save, you shouldn’t get distracted by one you can’t do anything about.” 

xiao clicks his tongue in extreme disappointment as he doesn’t seem to get through you. “you don’t get it at all, do you?” 

“you don’t get it either, xiao.”

silence envelops the air between you as you bask in infuriatingly awkward stillness. xiao knows he doesn’t get it, you know you’ll never understand him either. it’s hopeless.

after a few minutes or what felt like a decade, you speak up. 

“..hey, can you accompany me somewhere?” you catch his attention. he raises a brow in skepticism, as it is the middle of the night. “it won’t take long.”

he sighs quietly and nods, nudging his head to silently signal you to lead the way. he might as well accompany you instead of going off on a tangent about how you worry him too much.

you arrive at the windrise tree, the breeze nipping gently at your exposed legs. xiao eyes you from behind and bites his tongue despite his urge to berate you.

you sit down at the base of the windrise tree, letting out a long sigh of relief as you stretch your legs. the adeptus hesitates for a second but ultimately decides to sit down beside you.

this time, he’s the first to break the ice.

“what is your purpose of going here with me?” he doesn’t meet your eyes that snap to him quickly at his question. 

there are multiple reasons as to why you might have wanted to visit windrise, some being that you wanted to take a breather after a heated argument, taking a stroll after an exhausting week or even just needing a fresh scenery for a change. all of these reasons and yet, nothing could have prepared him for the words that came next.

“it could be the last time i’ll see this place again.” you smile fondly, despite the rather depressing statement you had just made. 

the yaksha froze up. ‘last time? are you moving?’

could it be that you’re leaving him? when you said you never dared to even think of it?

perhaps the fatui were after you?

were you in danger?

his mind listed a myriad of possibilities, all of them he wished were not true. he was still trying to wrap his head around what you just said. when you finally take into account his stiffness and silence, you forced out a chuckle. 

“yeah, i’ll be gone by tomorrow.”

he shouldn’t have done what he did next.

“..xiao? are you-”

he cut you off by standing up and glaring at you.

your heart dropped at his gaze.

it was one of the most intimidating but hurtful looks he’d ever made in your presence. his eyes screamed in unsaid fury and his face was etched in borderline offense. looking down. you see both his fists clenched in a tight grip of nothing. his form was trembling in anger, almost making you mistake yourself for one of the millions of demonic figures he rinsed the land of. 

“don’t ever show yourself again.”

noted. and he’s gone.

you stare at your scarred arms and wrists. 

‘it won’t be long now.’

xiao regrets it now, is all.

Series Masterlist here

A/N: Ahhh I’m very excited to share this! I’ve spent a long time planning out this series and how I’m going to write it and it’s finally here!

“It was a stupid decision.” His cold voice cut through the room, turquoise eyes burning in annoyance as he looked at the figure in front of him. You stood on opposite ends of the table from each other, a piece of paper clutched tightly in his hands as silence filled the room. The alchemy lab that had once felt like such a peaceful place to you now felt uncomfortable and everyone else in the Knights of Favonius Headquarters was aware of the tension that brewed between you and your fellow captain.

“No one saw it coming.” You hissed in return, eyes blazing like the Vision that hung on your hip, fists clenched as you slightly leaned against the table. The man across from you scoffed and you were brought back to the event that occurred just hours ago at the base of Dragonspine. The Chief Alchemist was planning to head up the unforgiving mountain alone to do research when you had come up to him, proposing to join him, along with a few other knights for safety. Despite his protests, you insisted and he relented, grumbling about not wanting others to disturb his work. Neither of you were expecting the frostarm lawachurl to burst out from the ruins, destroying the camp you had just set up and nearly taking out one of the knights who had accompanied you. Any materials for research were lost in the snow as you fled. There were no casualties by the time the small group had emerged from the mountains but the alchemist was furious, refusing to speak with the other captain.

“You meddled with my work. Again.” The alchemist turned around to throw the paper he held in his hands on a counter, refusing to face the figure behind him.

“You have never once been opposed to my companionship.” You protested, moving around the table to step closer to him. His eyes shot up to meet yours but his face was impossible to read.

“Did you ever think, that maybe I say nothing because there’s no point?” He scoffed and stepped closer. “Your presence is like a hummingbird, always making noise in my ear. Frankly, it’s irritating.” His expression was blank but his eyes were clouded with a mix of rage and disappointment. You blinked and stepped back at his statement. Was this how he really felt for the past few years? He took another step closer and you stumbled over your feet, hands reaching behind only to crash into another table behind you, your elbow hitting something before it fell over. Whirling around, you could only watch as water spilled from a bottle over the alchemist’s sketchbook. It was silent and you closed your eyes, preparing for the worst.

“Leave.” His voice was soft but devoid of any emotion. You bit your lip and turned around to apologize, but the words died in your mouth when you met his eyes. They were cold and unforgiving, a raging storm swirling inside of them.

“You’re nothing but a distraction here.” He stated, his voice scarily calm. “Get out of this room, I don’t need you.”

“Albedo, I’m sorry.” You tried and raised your hand but he was quicker, one gloved hand shooting forward and catching your wrist, his grip tight. It was almost terrifying at how calm he was, yet his eyes and voice were colder than the winds of Dragonspine.

“I don’t want to see you here ever again. Leave.”

Hey! So I’ve been seeing an anon send similar requests to a lot of other genshin writers because as I scroll through a few tags I keep reading similar stories and I keep thinking oh I read this but then when I do read it I know it’s not what I’ve read before but rather a different take. I just wanted to let you know, I don’t know if it’s stated in your rules but I know some genshin writers have said that they do not want to have a copy paste request. I dunno if you are friends with any other writers either to let them know.

oh really? thanks for letting me know! i'll edit my posts and clarify that if some scenarios are similar to other writers', it's not intentional and merely a coincidence as anons asked for similar hc's/scenarios. thank you again for the notice anon! have a good day💗

p.s i personally dont mind copy paste reqs but please check in on the rules of other blogs because they might mind it!

you can do it! [albedo, kaeya, childe, zhongli and diluc]

s/o has been going through a depressive episode and lacks motivation to finish their work and is getting anxiety because of it

tw: none, mentions of depression/anxiety, nothing too much. fluffy comfort <3

albedo x gn!reader, kaeya x gn!reader, childe x gn!reader, zhongli x gn!reader, diluc x gn!reader

a/n: self indulgent bc i'm way behind school and in the middle of a depressive episode so motivation's been lacking ;-; hope you guys are having a good week tho!

i would like to clarify that if any of these scenarios/hc's of mine are similar to other writers' works, it is unintentional and i apologize

albedo

oh? unmotivated you say.. self depricating thoughts? intrusive ones too?

albedo was never one to mope around when he was stuck on some problem he's yet to puzzle together, but seeing you exhausted, anxious and so... dull–he desperately wants to take all your worries away

he's a bit slow, failing to realize your depressive episode for a few days. as it prolongs, he notices how you seem to talk down to yourself and give up easily

sometimes, you don't even start work at all

this is due to your anxiety, he assumes as you think you're incapable of finishing or doing the work satisfactorily enough.

pulling you into an embrace from behind as you work on the projects you've been stuck on for the past few weeks, he gently whispers into your shoulder

"darling, have you been alright recently? are you in need of assistance?" he asks

he presses a loving kiss on your neck and you stifle a chuckle

"it's that apparent, no? i've been under the weather for quite a while now.."

as you explain your reasons and all your troubles to his end, he nods and hums ever so often

"you must be feeling drained, hm? well, frankly enough, i seem to need a break myself."

"eh? albedo where-!!”

he pulls you away from your working place and carries you to the couch, laying you down gently as he smiles at you

"aside from your unmotivated self, i reckon you need reassurance for those intrusive thoughts of yours."

and that, ladies, gentlemen and folks, is how you end up cuddling with albedo until the sun sets and you fall asleep

bask in the comfort of his words as he calls you his everything and more :')) <333

kaeya

my, oh my. what's gotten into his precious little love?

he's sharp, quite easily takes notice to your frantic and dim self.

he sees you sitting outside, head in your hands and sighs leaving your lips every now and then

unbeknownst to you, he creeps behind you and presses a careful peck on the nape of your neck, causing you to flinch and look back quickly

he was about to laugh at your cuteness, but as soon as he's reminded of your troubled state, he sits beside you and takes your face into his hands

sir we're in the plaza-

"oh archons, why is my sunshine so dim these days?" he pouts

rip u probably after this

"kaeya.. well, you see-"

and as you explain your current doubts and anxieties, he strokes your cheeks softly and looks into your eyes fondly

when you're finished, he nods and presses a light kiss on your forehead, a silent promise to accompany and help you on your endeavors to face your troubles

"i'll always be here for you, my love. if there's anything i can help you with, do not hesitate to come into my arms, hm?"

"noted, mr. suave"

jkjk o r a m i

he laughs and kisses you on the edge of your mouth

"what say you we head into the tavern for a bit? you could use some relaxation, right?"

as if you had a choice other than to say yes

childe

this man would know the second it started

having a bunch of siblings has its benefits huh

when he walks into your shared room and sees you on the edge, tears brimming your eyes he sits you down on your bed

"hey, hey.. i'm here, it's alright."

as you cry in his embrace, he rocks you gently, shushing you softly in an attempt to hinder your tears

"you can tell me if you're up for it, honey. i'm never too busy for you."

"i-it's just that-"

mhm. oh? why, how dare they treat you so harshly. really? why must you have to be burdened so heavily?

he acknowledges your struggles and worries with gentle strokes and brushing through your hair

"you have it really rough, don't you? ah well, nothing we can do but-"

"childe?"

he stands up and leaves the room for a second

he comes back with food, drinks, your favorite clothing of his, a scented candle you bought and some books you have yet to finish reading

the action warms your heart as you sniffle and smile at your lover

as soon as he lays down with you, prepare to never see daylight again as he won't let go for the longest, and i mean longest time ever

"i love you, y/n. you're strong and don't let anything, not even yourself, make you think otherwise."

zhongli

dearest, must life be so unfair to you? why you out of all people?

zhongli is wise–he knows something is bothering you when it does. that being said, he isn't sure whether or not he should approach you so directly

especially if it seems like a sensitive topic

instead, in your depressive state and anxious fiddling, he calls you over to him

he pulls you into his lap as he takes your face into his hand and kisses you tenderly

"my dear, has anything been bothering you? might i offer my hand in dealing with them?"

you'd think kaeya's mr. suave then this man pops up with his broke ass

"as a matter of fact.."

as you go on and state your dealings and troubles, he listens with an almost solemn look

he looks at you with utmost affection and concern when you finish

"the terrains of life have been steep and intimidating, you have been very commendable for braving through these, my dearest."

he places his lips onto your own and strokes the back of your head lovingly

for a reserved man, zhongli easily expresses his affection for you in multitudes of ways

his kisses being one of them

after parting your lips, he peppers your face with his kisses and you laugh quietly at his ministrations

"might i suggest a quick stroll to take your mind off things?"

you agree, thinking that once you head home, you'll be back to work with a clearer mind

little did you know mr. no money in his pockets got a liiiittle surprise for you as you won't be returning to your work any time soon :DDDD

by 'surprise' i mean he's taking you out to dinner

yall nasties

diluc

diluc is a busy man, dealing with a winery and all

along with his night profession (which he has only admitted to you and the traveling duo)

you did your best to hide your troubled self and aid him in his work, but you can only hold the facade for so long before it eats you up inside

when you break, he is slightly taken aback but is quick to comfort you

he sees you shaking and situates you on his couch as he sits beside you, rubbing your back as you curl into his figure

he's very warm

"sweetheart, would you mind telling me the problem?" he asks

he waits for an answer as you're still trying to find the words

"diluc, i'm sorry for bothering you.. i know you have plenty on your schedule and-”

"y/n, you're my top priority, no matter what. my work is nothing compared to what you mean to me."

and it's true, you're really his top priority

woohoo !! :DD

when you explain your anxieties and doubts to diluc, he's very understanding and listens to you earnestly

"-and that's why i've been so.. down, let's put it."

he strokes your face and presses his forehead to your own, looking you in the eye softly

he pulls you in tighter and closer, pressing kisses to your jawline and below your ear

"thank you for expressing your troubles with me, my love. i'm sorry for not noticing earlier."

"no need, love, you're very busy and i can't thank you enough for taking the time to understand me."

he pulls away for a second and shakes his head

"again, my work is nothing compared to you. i am willing to put aside all my responsibilities for a week in order to ensure your happiness."

uh wh a t

"ah," you laugh concerned, "sure–"

"which is what we're going to be doing this week." he smiles

welp. no turning back now

enjoy ur week with the redhead you utter s i m p

your scenarios are so sweet! would it be possible to request zhongli comforting a fem!so who struggles really badly with her body image?

perfection [zhongli headcanon]

s/o is struggling with body image issues–how does zhongli deal with this?

tw: body image issues, depression and anxiety mentioned

zhongli x fem! reader

a/n: this took a while huh lol hope this is to your liking!

i would like to clarify that if any of these scenarios/hc's of mine are similar to other writers' works, it is unintentional and i apologize

not proof read

zhongli is quite concerned to say the least

although he has taken many forms before, not once has he experienced the crushing feeling of disliking how his body came to be

he finds that you've been fairly dim and down lately

your eating habbits have also changed drastically, he notes

on top of that, he hears some very self-deteriorating comments from you and it gnaws at the back of his head all the time as he recalls it

finding out that you do–his soul aches with the longing to reassure you

and so he does!

"love?" he comes into your shared room and sees your figure staring into the mirror again

oh, dear love

"ah! oh, honey.. i-" you start to ramble and make excuses, you didn't want him to worry too much but all is in vain as he sees your eyes start to brim with tears

"darling, come here.." he hugs you from behind and kisses your temple

he faces you to the mirror and pulls you closer

"my love, had you not seen yourself the way i do? it truly pains me to see yourself failing to see how beautiful you are." he presses another kiss on your neck

not believing his words, you frown at the image of your reflection on the mirror

how you hated the way you are, you think

"zhongli, i really wish i could tear this horrid body of mine to shreds, how could you see me like that?" you begin to sob

at this, zhongli shakes his head and whispers sweet nothings into your ear

"shh.. darling, don't cry. you've always stuck me as the most beautiful woman i've ever had the pleasure of calling 'mine.' i love you so much, no amount of self-destructive thoughts will ever make my narrative of you and your exceptional beauty any different." he rocks you gently to stop your crying.

"thank you.. for loving me, zhongli." you say in tears, and you genuinely are

zhongli chuckes at this, confusing you a bit

"do not thank me for loving you, my dear, i cannot help myself from falling for you, neither can i stop now." he smiles tenderly at you
