"Master D—Diluc!"

🌻 a sunflower for everyone who is not feeling well today

the scar you left behind

featuring — hanemiya kazutora

genre — hurt to comfort

author's note — this one had been screaming at me for attention for the past few weeks ever since @qtsickchiq mentioned the idea to me, and kazutora had been haunting my mind help-

kazutora thought that he could die from the pressure. outside of the pet shop he's working in with chifuyu who had called sick that day, the rain was pouring down like there's no tomorrow. the heater was working fine, he's sure, but he felt his hands freezing. as he worked in silent, desperately trying to focus on restocking the items in front of him, he cant deny the screaming need to talk to you.

unfortunately, he didnt have the courage. not enough at least. you used to be his best friend, you probably would have been more than that if kazutora didnt abandon you one day without any explanation. you've been through a lot together, being there when life left sickeningly unfair for him. to this day, he regretted for breaking his promise to be with your forever. through its a little too late for that.

a few months ago, you had reappeared in his life when chifuyu had asked him to pass a pre-ordered items to a customer for him, not knowing its you. when he first laid his eyes on you, the evening sunlight had given you such an ethereal glow that he cant help but be mesmerised by your beauty. though he couldnt miss your eyes that used to radiate so much love for him gone cold as the warmth diminished.

kazutora's heart broke to the memory. he must have opened up old wound for the both of you for not being thoughtful enough to actually check who the customer his friend was talking about was. he wished he had treated you better, in the past and present, but as he heard you winced when the thunder boomed outside, he hesitated. he didnt want to cross the boundary and make you feel uncomfortable when all you wished for was a temporary shelter from the weather before you could continue on your way home.

a particularly loud one exploded outside and you let out a muffled scream. before kazutora realised, his body had moved towards you. suddenly, he's kneeling in front of you, his face contoured with concern. 'it's fine, i'm here', he assured you, though regretted it as he saw you looked sadder than before. 'tor-', you covered your mouth before you could complete what you're saying.

kazutora was taken aback. not by the gesture, but by the fact that you almost called him with the nickname you had given him long ago when you were still together. 'yes?', he responded out of adrenaline before he could stop himself. the deafening silence that followed, along with the tension of finally confronting his past for closure was almost unbearable for him, but he brazened himself.

'its nothing. i'm sorry to bother you with your work', you said after collecting your wit. without looking at him, you reluctantly stood up to leave. but kazutora held your wrist, not letting you go just yet, 'wait, please tell me what you wanted to say earlier'. he saw you balled your fist, your hand trembling in his grip. 'selfish, arent you now?', your voice was so low that he would have missed it if he didnt pay full attention towards you.

panicking, kazutora let go of your hand and apologised, 'i didnt mean it that way-', something snapped in you that you turned and faced him with the anger, sadness and regret you've bottled up for so long, cutting him off, 'why'd you care what i think now? you never care to know when you left before'. kazutora was speechless. he had never seen you this furious.

his adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard. he knew he's the cause of your pain, 'y/n, i know what i did was unforgiveable, and you deserve to feel all this, but please hear me out-', once again, you didnt allow him to finish because of your tangled up emotion. 'yes, i do! you left without even explaining yourself, expecting me to accept it. do you ever stop and consider how hopeless you made me feel? i waited for you for years. i thought you trusted me', your voice broke so much that it became hard to utter any more words at all.

instantly, you're a mess of tears. as you hide your crying face with the sleeves of your hoodie, you felt yourself being embraced. kazutora was hesitant at first, but seeing that you're not pushing him away, he tightened his arms around your shoulders, pulling you close to him. 'confine in me, tora. you dont have to be alone,' you said in between hiccups, and his eyes became misty with emotion.

kazutora kept you close to him the whole time you cried your eyes out. he didnt even try to stop his own tears from spilling as he swayed you gently to calm you down while patting your head the way he knew you like it. when you've quieted down to a sniffle, he said to your ear with the most soothing voice he could muster in his own emotional state, 'i'm sorry. even after all this time, i still couldnt do anything right'.

he fell you shaking your head and buried your face deeper into his chest, 'dont leave again, please. i dont care if you mess up. i want to be there with you'. kazutora felt a familiar fuzzy feeling deep in him because of your heartfelt request. looking at your glassy eyes, he saw the love that he thought had lost returning. as his forehead touched yours, he let the three words he had always wanted to say to you leave his lips before yours met his halfway, 'i love you'.

some sniper and könig ideas because im soft about them 🥺

könig loves playing with your fingers. he holds your hand any chance he gets. but when he’s get fidgety, he’s grabbing your fingers.

you’re opposites in the fact where he’s chatty on the battlefield, you’ll go deathly silent. whistling a little haunting tune as you pull the trigger.

he’s guarded and it takes time to tear down those walls of his, but you do eventually.

it doesn’t take long for him to warm up to you. even if he doesn’t talk much at first. you don’t mind his silence. its comfortable. he comes to expect your shadow falling onto him during lunch breaks and down time.

you never question the sniper veil he wears. he waits for it, waits for you to ask why he wears it when he’s not really a sniper, but you never do. its one of the things he appreciates about you.

once you win his trust, he’s a much more open book. he spills everything to you: stories about his childhood, about his home, his travels, the scars. you treasure you know these little details about him while no one else does.

he blushes so easily. his skin’s pale and littered with freckles and scars.

he reveals his face to you one night, going to lift his hood only for you to catch his wrist. its too big for you to even get your fingers around, but you hold it. his hand trembles in your grasp. you tell him that he doesn’t have to. but he wants to. he wants you to see him. to really see him.

you craft gifts for könig throughout your friendship. simple but thoughtful small presents. he keeps every single one of them.

-ˋˏ✄— Dear Fellow Harbinger

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ Tartaglia x Reader

Pronouns: he/him

"Alas, we meet again, like the water from the ocean raining down on land."

CW: Childe story spoilers!

.navigation. // .genshin impact masterlist.

Childe recalled a time where he was just Ajax, a curious boy who wished to travel the world with his best friend.

It was an innocent thing, he and the boy who'd once tag along with his antics, sneaking out of their homes to see what the noise by the woods were, or what the Zapolyarny palace looked up close.

It was an innocent thing, their friendship was.

Now, his feet leave bloody footsteps in its wake, as he moved away from the once lively pact of hilichurls that stood in his path.

Blue eyes, dull and half lidded, scanned his surroundings as he approached the Zapolyarny palace.

It looked better afar, he thought. Where you wouldn't be able to feel the harsh cold, colder than the snow and ice.

"Why must I be tasked to this?" He mumbled, scratching his head, scarf fluttering behind him in the wind as he stepped up the stairway. "Harbingers working together? What does the Tsaritsa expect to obtain from such a horrible mix?"

It was true, he had never met the first Harbinger of the Fatui, and even if rumours said he was more bearable than the others, he was still a Harbinger.

Pierro, the first Fatui Harbinger, was just a mere child when the title was given to him by the Fatui. The Tsaritsa had taken him in, trained him and raised him as her own, even letting him play outside, under the watchful eyes of agents hidden around corners.

"You will be woriking alongside Pierro during this task, Tartaglia. He was allowed to choose his ally, and he chose you." He remembered the Tsaritsa's order.

Pierro, "the fool". His title truly matched him.

Why would the first ask for the eleventh when there were nine more above him?

His steps grew heavy, and he'd admit only to himself that he was the slightest bit nervous.

Pierro, the first Fatui Harbinger, asked for his presence.

He neared the door to the first's office, the mark of the Fool embedded high above him.

Pierro, the fool, was right behind this door.

He knocked, knuckles tapping at the door three times, before a voice on the other side granted permission to enter.

He opened the door, entering the room and closing it behind him.

Pierro, the most feared out of the Fatui excluding the Tsaritsa, was behind him.

"Tartaglia," Pierro greeted, and he turned.

Nervous blue met exhausted e/c, and it was like he was Ajax again.

Pierro, the boy who'd once promise him to be by his side for eternity, was there.

His eyes widened, and his breath hitched.

A name echoed in his head.

Pierro, Pierro, Pierro—

No, that wasnt it.

Y/n, he remembered.

Y/n, Y/n, Y/n!

Y/n L/n—!

He choked back a sob.

─𖠄࿐

"Ajax," he greeted once again, a smile brighter than his eyes and softer than his words. "It's nice to see you again."

The man before him stiffened, eyes wide as his hand shakily raised to point at him.

"Y—Y/—" he stuttered, not being able to let word out.

"Come on, Ajax, we've talked about stuttering," an innocent head tilt, as if he wasn't a feared Harbinger, as if he wasn't the Fool of the Fatui, as if he wasn't Pierro.

It was as if they were both eight all over again.

Childe took a step forward, before he found himself sprinting towsrds the shorter/taller male.

A knee on his desk, he leaned forwards, closer to Y/n and—

"Ow!" A slap to the face—

"H—huh?" And arms wrapped tightly around him before ginger hair covered his view.

Childe, leaning over the wooden desk, had wrapped his arms around Y/n, head burried on his neck as if he hadn't slapped him moments prior and wasn't shaking in his shoes.

"I'm getting mixed signals from you," Y/n lightly joked, but reciprocated the hug.

Feeling his friend's arms around him, Childe let out a breathy laugh, holding the e/c boy he'd once dance in the snowy fields with.

"You're such an ass," Childe chuckled, pulling back a bit just to cup Y/n's face, tears streaming down his face.

Y/n's face burned, but he chuckled at Childe.

"How—how long have you been here? Did you know I was here? What—what happe—" a finger to his lips shushed the ginger, and Y/n gave a tired sigh.

"It's a really long story." He glanced shyly at his side, and Childe squeezed his cheeks.

"Ow— hey!"

"Sorry, sorry, it's just that..." Childe slowly neared him.

"Are you alright, Ajax?"

Hushed voices, whispers against each other's lips.

"I haven't seen you in a decade, Y/n," Childe muttered, eyes filled with sorrow and relief. "And now you're here, as the first Fatui Harbinger, as Pierro—"

—as the boy who had given him a makeshift crown of snowy flowers.

"I'm sorry," Y/n whispered. "I'll make it up to you."

"Then promise me," lips an inch apart, Ajax whispered. "Promise me you wouldn't break our promises from years ago. All of them."

"I promise my pinky on that."

"You better."

Gripping his collar, Ajax pressed their lips against each other, his other hand moving down from Y/n's face to squeeze at his side.

It was an innocent thing, their love was.

─𖠄࿐

"Y/n, Y/n!" Ajax called out to his friend. "Let's make a pinky promise!"

"What for?" The boy asked as he sat on the frosty ground.

"Let's promise to stay together forever!"

Y/n smiled, lifting his hand up with only his pinky finger raised.

"Then let's pinky promise!"

"Yay!!"

─𖠄࿐

"Let's get married someday, Y/n." Ajax told him one winter night.

"Huh? What's that?"

"Marriage! Momma said that you marry the person you love the most!"

"Aww, you love me the most?"

"Of course!"

"Then alright, let's get married someday!"

"Pinky promise?"

"I promise my pinky on that!"

"Haha, you better!"

I got him in 2 days, i literally burned more than 20 of my serum for him. Well yk anything for his ass <3

Thanks to Huda Niki’s YouTube video, I was able to do accomplish the impossible. I was able to awaken Lee’s Grand Blue skin.

Lee’s Summer skin requires 10k of those Morning Cup things. I was so alarmed by this news, my PGR playtime went through the roof. Life drew my attention away from the game for months, but in just three days, I played the game like a madman, wondering if I’d ever be able to get a new skin for Lee. Trying to earn as many Cups as possible. Because in the name of Babylonia, he deserved a new skin. And I can’t spend any money on him.

But then, just when I felt all hope was lost, i found Huda’s video. They instruct you to Auto Clear Resource stages, with multiple or maximum attempts, to quickly earn a lot of Cups. And like a charm, it worked for me. I earned Lee’s skin in two days. No lie. I started off with about 350 of those Cup things, too. But here’s the thing.

Auto Clearing stages, with multiple or maximum attempts, quickly burns through Serum.

I repeat: Auto Clearing stages, with multiple or maximum attempts, quickly burns through Serum.

If you’re trying to earn Cups for Lee’s new skin, and want to speed things up, please please PLEASE consider your Serum supply and comfort level before using the strategy in Huda’s video. I burned through almost my entire Serum supply in two days. And I play for just a few hours a day. If you play more than I do, you’ll definitely burn through it a lot quicker using this strategy.

If you would rather NOT burn through your Serum, I recommend completing single stages that require high amounts of Serum. High amounts of Serum means higher amounts of Cups.

I had plenty of Serum, though, and was comfortable burning through it. Here’s the video I found, but whatever you choose to do, I wish you all the best.

By saying its misogynitics srsly 💀. There's alot fem reader content out there, smut, angst, fluff you name it. Not to point out those post w/o gender specific reader? Its mostly fem, so why protest to a small male & gn reader blog when there's so many big and small fem reader blog out there.
