sfw alphabet | hu tao

LETTERS - i, j, r, s, v !! • 200 event !!

➷ I - i love you :

all the time. sometimes it’s to get herself out of trouble, sometimes it’s when she’s feeling particularly sappy, sometimes it’s when she’s sure she might die. “but i looove youuuu, don’t you love me too? come on you buzzkill, it’s not that dangerous!”

first says it in one of her quiet moments. you two are just lounging, your head in her lap as she overlooks your half-asleep form. you know she’s lost in thought by the way her eyes aren’t focused on anything, she’s just staring. “i think i love you.”

her painted nails lightly trace the sides of your face as you cast your eyes upwards to see her expression. you’re met with a closed eye laugh and a tap on the nose as she tries to take the focus off herself. “ah, don’t look at me like that! at the very least say it back, look at me dazed afterwards...”

➷ J - jealousy :

she’s scary when she needs to be, and that is especially so when she’s really jealous. if someone she doesn’t vibe with approaches, she’s attempting to use her charm off the bat. sweet-talking them, not-so-subtly intertwining your fingers together while she animates with his hands, anything she can think of. now, if they don’t take the hint, there’s almost a visual code switch within her.

“hm, you wouldn’t happen to know all that much about the afterlife, would you?” she chimes, looming around the person with a sinister smile parading on her lips. “i know all about it. say, i wouldn’t mind...” she activates her element, a small ghostly flame emitting from her palm. “showing you sometime.”

she giggles behind her hand at the way they scurry off.

➷ R - remember :

any time she realizes that you don’t chastise her for her interests. her smile widens every time she remembers that you don’t think she’s weird or creepy for her career or her approach. she’s found someone who understands, or at the very least doesn’t judge, and she loves every bit of it.

➷ S - security :

now, she doesn’t even value her own safety to the highest regard, so she’s not going to reprimand you if you just so happen to do anything dangerous. the thrill comes first, so if you’re looking to jump off the top of wuwang hill all the way down into the oceanid’s lair, hell, she’s probably jumping first.

➷ V - value :

she definitely values your sense of humor. she wants someone who will joke with her, someone who’ll laugh with instead of at her. her sense of humor can be dark, so if yours is as well, she’s got a better match than originally anticipated! “you...you think i’m funny?” hu tao slowly has an incredibly lovesick grin enveloping her face as she watches you laugh. “most people — aiya, nevermind that! all that matters is that my little butterfly is laughing, yeah?”

*lipbites right back* anon your brain is so big hu tao is so <3333

— them with a shy s/o

CW: NONE APPLICABLE.

liyue girls <33333

characters included: beidou, ningguang, hu tao, yanfei

beidou ✧˖*࿐

beidou loves to round up her crew for drinks! of course, she has to force her shy s/o aboard to introduce them to the crew

“my esteemed crewmates, meet [Y/N],” beidou announces in a booming voice, “we’ve been dating for a while, so i figured it’s high time i introduce them to all of you.”

beidou’s announcement is met with varied shouts of congratulations and the occasional pat on the back. your girlfriend turns to look at you, a smile across her face.

“[Y/N], you look like you’re about to hop ship,” she says in a quieter volume, her voice clear to you despite the clamor, “they’re good people. they won’t bite. they’re happy to see you.”

“ah, no, i trust them,” you explain, beidou’s gaze not moving from your own, “it’s just… i’m not super good with crowds. but i want to make a good impression, y’know? i want to be close with my girlfriend’s crew.”

beidou laughs and gives you a playful slap on the back. “[Y/N], don’t sweat it. nobody could possibly dislike you. besides, if they so much as insult you, i’ll have ‘em walk the plank. good ol’ fairytale pirate style. c’mon, i’ll pour you a glass of rum and i’ll take care of their barrage of questions.”

ningguang ✧˖*࿐

only the most high-class members of liyuean society are able to get an invite to any sort of gala ningguang hosts. it’s only natural to feel out of place in such an esteemed scenario.

“something the matter, darling?” ningguang’s voice says. you turn to see her standing beside you, her delicate hand wrapped around the bottom of a fine wine glass. “you’ve been by yourself all this time… i can’t help but wonder if my party isn’t to your liking.”

“no, no, it’s just that i’ve never been to a party that’s so…” you ponder your choice of words, “high society.”

ningguang lets out a gentle laugh that even sounds rich. “[Y/N], while they’re all upper class members of society, they’re still most certainly people. and mind you, they’re all beneath me in terms of their wealth and status,” she assures you, taking a sip of her undoubtedly costly wine, “should i approach them with your hand in mine, they’ll fall at your feet and kiss the ground you walk on.”

you gulp. “no offense, but you don’t find that to be a bit too… cocky?”

ningguang hums to herself. “[Y/N], when this is your company, the cockiest,” she emphasizes your casual choice of words as if it’s a swear, “are the only ones to stay above water. now, come with me. i’d love to show off my date to my guests.”

hu tao ✧˖*࿐

hu tao’s over-eccentric nature makes it tough to slink away. not to mention, tough to hold a frown!

hu tao accepts the bill from the wanmin restaurant, promptly scribbling her signature on the bottom of the slip. she holds up the paper to your waitress, xiangling, with a smile.

“wangsheng footing the bill of your guys’ lunch date again?” xiangling chirps, taking the receipt.

“hehe, you bet,” hu tao smiles, cupping her hand over your own, “[Y/N] here loves this place. doesn’t stop talking about it whenever i try my hand at cooking!”

xiangling laughs and places her hand on her hip. “is hu tao a poor chef, [Y/N]?” she asks.

you glance over at hu tao, whose smile hasn’t faded. “um… she’s… adequate? well, in terms of cooking…” you find yourself unsure of how to answer xiangling. the young chef usually doesn’t ask you questions.

“aw… my cute lil’ [Y/N] is too nice to speak up,” hu tao giggles, “go on, tell xiangling about my attempt at calla lily seafood soup! you were totally green and were suddenly ‘full’ after one bite.”

you feel yourself run hot in the cheeks. “no, hu tao, it wasn’t that bad…”

xiangling roars in laughter, interrupting your half-baked excuse. “perhaps hu tao should resort to offering free home-cooked meals as a way to bring in more customers!”

“that’s actually a great idea!” she gasps, her eyes wide. you can’t help but wonder if she’s serious.

yanfei ✧˖*࿐

yanfei is always so busy with clients :( you’re happy to help by bringing in tea for your hardworking girlfriend and her guests, though!

you gently knock at the door, careful not to disturb yanfei while she was working.

“come in!” her voice shouts. you click the handle and push the door, careful not to topple your tray of tea.

“ah, [Y/N]!” yanfei beams, “happy to see you.” she turns to her clients. “our kind server here is my partner, [Y/N]. do you guys like jasmine tea?”

her clients nod, offering you a smile. you feel your shyness kick in once the unfamiliar gazes meet your own. you place down the tray on an empty space on yanfei’s desk, making extra-special precaution not to run the risk of spilling tea on her precious codices.

“[Y/N], i don’t believe we’ve met,” the female client says with a gentle smile, “how long have you known yanfei?”

you find yourself taken aback at the sudden question and turn your gaze to yanfei, who giggles.

“[Y/N] here is a bit shy,” she explains, pouring tea into a small cup, “we’ve known each other for about a year but have only been dating for the last few months! they’re super helpful with assisting me in my work.”

the clients chuckle. “are you familiar with the law in such an intricate manner as your girlfriend?” the man asks.

“i usually help quiz yanfei on certain statutes,” you say quietly, “‘course she doesn’t need it… i think she just enjoys having a captive audience to ramble about law.”

the room erupts in laughter. you’re not sure whether or not you want to sink into the floor.

“your partner is a riot, miss yanfei!” the woman says.

yanfei smiles up at you from her seat. “i know, huh? they truly are a special find.”

I love yelan and shinobu im a simp already. I’ll ask for how they are when they have a crush on reader and how they would confess.

How they confess to you

characters: Yelan / Kuki Shinobu x gn!reader (seperate)

warnings: none, just fluff

a/n: There aren’t too many things known about Shinobu’s personality yet, so I’m sure once she actually releases we will be able to look back to this fic and say “kinda ooc, ngl”, but until then I’ll have to use my gut feeling.

This is, of course, my first time writing for either of these two characters, so I’m sorry if I’m making a few mistakes when it comes to their personalities, but I think it should be fine

Also, this is kinda long, at least for my standarts

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Yelan

Yelan knew about you long before you had even met her, she had to make sure that the new hire at the Liyue Qixing didn’t have any ill intentions after all, but once the two of you finally met, you instantly got along with each other, her relaxed and easy going attitude a welcome change from the stress inducing one’s your bosses seemed to have around them all the time. While your friendly and open attitude, that made even strangers reveal small secrets to you from time to time, being too busy enjoying their drinks to care, coupled with your willingness to tell Yelan about them if asked, made hanging out with you both a nice way to procrastinate while getting enough information to technically be considered part of her job.

Even after the two of you had become, what you would consider, good friends, there were still a lot of things you knew she wouldn’t tell you about, most of them about her job. You had asked once about why exactly she needed information about a citizen of Liyue, assuming of course that her job required her to do so, she made it very clear that, since it was part of her job, she wouldn’t tell you. You completely understood, never asking about such things again, while simply enjoying spending time with her. But there were things you knew about her that most others, who even knew about the existence of a woman called “Yelan”, wouldn’t even dream about knowing.

You had finally managed to get a few days off, deciding that it would be a great opportunity to visit Yelan, and while her house laid well outside of the city, you eventually arrived in front of her door, knocking on it, only to have to wait much longer than you expected before it finally opened, revealing your friend giving you her usual smile.

“Well, what a surprising visit you decided to pay me”, she greeted you, the thought of how you had managed to surprise the usually so informed Yelan, making you smile, only for you to remember what an unhealthy sleep schedule she seemed to have whenever she didn’t necessarily have work to do.

“Did I awaken you from your sleep?”, you asked teasingly, only for her to shoot back immediately in a similar playful matter.

“That’s confidential, I could tell you, but sadly wouldn’t be allowed to keep you alive afterwards”, after shooting you another smile, she finally let you inside, and it wasn’t long before the two of you started playing a game of dice against each other. “I could use this chance to win a few Mora from you, but how about we spice it up a bit? The winner gets to ask the looser anything”, she offered, causing you to give her a look of suspicion. When she said “anything”, did she truly mean it? Probably not really, since you doubted that she would tell you anything about her work even if you won, not that you wanted to know anyway. But you decided not to voice your doubts, instead giving her a nod.

Well, it wasn’t like you even had to think about what to ask her, since no matter how much luck you seemed to have, Yelan would always top you, and while her questions started out standard, asking you about things like work, they grew more and more personal with each question.

“What’s your taste in women?”, she eventually asked with as straight of a face as ever, and while the last question had already seemed a bit too personal for your taste, this one made your heartbeat faster than usual whenever you thought about what would come next.

“Well, I don’t really have one… I’m not that picky, if they are entertaining to hang out with, I guess”, you answered truthfully, well not completely, since there was someone you had eyes for.

“Then what about me?”, she asked, topping all her previous questions while making your face as red as the Jueyun chillies she loved to eat.

“T-that’s more than one question”, you stuttered out, frantically trying to buy your brain enough time to figure out any reasons she might have said something like that, baring the obvious of course, since that was too good to be true.

“Of course, how silly of me”, she stated, only to immediately get the highest possible score, making it unnecessary for you to even try and beat it. “Well, what about me?”, she stated once more, leaning forwards before putting her head in her hands while resting her arms on the table.

After seeing you fail to form a coherent sentence more than once, she leaned back before speaking again. “Fine, let me a different question”, when you heard her words, you finally managed to calm your nerves down a bit, only for all your blood to shoot into your head once again immediately afterwards.

“I like you as more than just a friend, do you feel the same?”, before you even had the chance to think about it, your body immediately went into autopilot, nodding enthusiastically without delay, causing the woman in front of you to smile at you once again.

Kuki Shinobu

You had known Shinobu for a very long time, having been friends with her long before she and her family got on rather… difficult terms. But when she had gone to study in Liyue for a few years, the two of you lost contact, only for her to come back and become part of the Arataki-gang, something you couldn’t help but find odd. Sure, you hadn’t seen her for years, but her joining that group of rather unusual individuals, wasn’t something you had ever expected from her.

But when the two of you met again, you somewhat rekindled your old friendship. Sure, the two of you had changed a lot, and instead of wearing the shrine maiden clothes you had expected an adult Shinobu to wear, she had found a different way to dress, most notably wearing a mask to hide her face even though you had never thought that there was a need for her to do so, but at the core you were still the same people as back then.

You couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but at some point in your friendship Shinobu had stopped acting entirely professional around you, acting far more friendly than before. It may have been far from the friendliness others, like maybe that Naganohara girl, seemed to offer, but still a big enough change for you to notice, not that you had anything against it, since you were just happy to have your old friend back. And while she still insisted on wearing her mask most of the time, she wouldn’t seem as embarrassed as the first time you accidentally caught her taking it off.

You had plucked a few lavender melons since you seemed to remember Shinobu having told you about how they tasted better when roasted and decided to pay her a visit to ask for a few tips, only to encounter what seemed to be the rest of the “Arataki-gang”, but without their name giving leader.

“Hey, I’m sorry to-”, you looked at what they were doing, only to find them stand around two beetles fighting each other, leaving you with more questions than answers, but decided to continue anyway “…interrupt you, but do you know where I can find Shinobu?”, you asked, causing all of them to immediately turn their heads around.

“You’re looking for Kuki Shinobu? Why? Do you need something from her?”, one of them immediately started questioning you, approaching you while making you feel as if you were in some sort of trouble, like you had broken an unspoken rule, but before you could continue, the man in front of you suddenly had a look of realisation on his face. “Oh, you’re her friend! The one she always spends time with after work”, he almost shouted, catching the attention of the rest, making them gather around you as well.

What followed was them bombarding you with one question after another, not leaving you any time to answer any of them, but seemingly not even minding. You had long lost the ability to even register any of their questions, since they would be interrupted in the middle of it, causing you to have to hear a completely new one, that was, until you heard a question that stood out.

“Are the two of you a couple? You must be, you always hang out with each other, and she even mentioned you a couple of times”, all other members fell silent, as all their gazes were focussed on you, awaiting your answer.

“She was talking about m-”, before you had the chance to finish your sentence, another voice rang out, this one clearly being Shinobu’s, but instead of sounding professional like usual, or relaxed like when you spent time together, this time it was filled with rage.

“You have ten seconds, whoever is in my line of sight once they are over won’t live to regret it”, in an instant, the mass of men around you were gone, all of them scattering into different directions, leaving you and Shinobu alone, she finally having calmed down somewhat. “I hate those idiots sometimes”, she stated bitterly before letting out a big sigh, her choice of words somewhat surprising you.

“They seemed… friendly”, you awkwardly stated, trying to make her forget what had just happened, but instead earning yourself a nervous stare from her, only to hear her sigh once more.

“You heard what they said, so I guess there’s no need to deny it. I like you, and I hope you do the same, do you want to go out with me?”, her confession caught you even more off-guard, leaving you frozen in place for a couple seconds before finally mustering enough working braincells together to answer.

“Sure, I feel the same”, you answered, only to find it to be an underwhelming reaction, searching for a way to continue. “Do you want to roast lavender melons together?”, you awkwardly asked while lifting the basked full of them that you held in your hand, earning yourself a small, rare chuckle from Shinobu.

“Of course”

Hello, can I request prompt 49 with Keqing? Have a nice wonderful day/night!

49. “I’ve never been in love before, so you gotta go easy on me.” Count on You - Big Time Rush from the lyric prompt list! thank you for your request!! it's fun that i'm returning to this draft when there are rumours of btr coming back :')) my childhood is on the line here my friend... anyway i hope you enjoy! warnings: gn reader, nothing else word count: 214

Keqing blinked at you, resting her chopsticks next to her plate before crossing her arms and legs, leaning back in her chair with a hum and a calculating gaze analyzing you up and down at the words you had just blurted to her.

"Would you be so kind as to repeat yourself? I didn't quite catch what it was that you said."

You gulped, with your heart beating aggressively against your ribcage and your cheeks blushing furiously as you looked her in the eye, and taking a deep breath, you repeat your words a little bit slower than before.

"I... like you, miss Keqing. Would you go out with me?"

Her eyes softened and she reached her hands out to hold yours over the table.

"It was about time for you to tell me, silly." She smiled at you, tilting her head a little. "You just have to know this, though. I've never been in love before, so you gotta go easy on me. Understand?"

Stunned, and not believing your confession had actually gone well, you could only blink and nod your head eagerly before returning a smile of your own to her.

"Un-understood! We can- we can figure it all out together!"

She gave your hands a gentle squeeze.

"I'm sure we will."

—# 🍨 LIKING THE SKIRT YOU WEAR

A/N; Dni if you fetishize lesbian content or is not a woman yourself. It will make me uncomfortable having a man read wlw content. Suggestive Nsfw + FEM READER

#BEIDOU;

Would come up behind you wrapping her arms around your waist, while her fingers play with the ends of your skirts. She’ll chuckle watching you turn flustered due to the compliments she’d whisper in your ear. She’ll continue to make you flustered until you’ll playfully push her away.

“Oh cmon, you know I was just teasing!”

#EULA;

Would admire you from afar but would be too shy to say anything. So she’d just cross her arms and look out the window. Though when you finally approach her with that tiny skirt of yours she becomes a heated mess.

“N-Name, you look good today…”

#NINGGUANG;

Would approach you with a “genuine” intentions until she starts to flirt with you in public. And you end finding yourself wi to your cheeks getting warm and you getting embarrassed and flustered. Ningguang cannot help but laugh as she takes in a sip of beer.

“You look good today, did you dress like that for me? Hehe”

#YAE;

Would tease you. Like a lot. Both with her words and her lips. Would come up behind you to kiss your cheek, then neck, and perhaps shoulder, or even more below. She would like the details on your skirt too, wants you to wear it everyday.

“This skirt fits you so well, my lovely”

Eula confronting her Fatui!S/O

Ironic.

They could protect Eula from getting judged for her identity.

But not themselves...

- Eula had reported her discovery about her S/O being a spy for the Fatui to the Knights already.

- All that was left was to confront them about it. Though this confrontation was for the good of Mondstadt, for Eula, this was far more personal.

- Eula had asked the Traveler and the other Knights to wait outside in case the situation got bad.

- She had gone to their house and talk to them alone.

- Eula swung open the door, fist clenched with their orders on several papers.

(S/O) "Eula? Is something wrong?"

(Eula) "As a matter of fact, there is."

- Eula slammed her hand onto the nearby table, the papers scattering.

- S/O's expression darkened the moment they saw their orders laying out for both of them to see.

(Eula) "What the hell is this?!"

- S/O opened their mouth to say something, but no words came out.

- Eula kept her eyes on S/O the entire time. She was expecting them to go for a weapon, but they hadn't shown any signs of fighting or even running.

(Eula) "To think that all this time, YOU were the one the people of Mondstadt should have been looking out for instead of me."

(S/O) "..."

- S/O remained quiet, not being able to look Eula in the eye.

(Eula) "You were always the first one to defend me when people were getting on my case for being a Lawrence. You were always the first one to say, 'You should never judge someone for their family's past', S/O. Was all of what you said, lies?"

- She clenched her fist tightly, to the point it started to hurt.

(Eula) "When you told me that you loved me, not caring who I am, was that a lie too?"

(S/O) "...I..."

(Eula) "The truth, S/O! You will tell me, or the people of Mondstadt will have their vengeance!"

- S/O had heard that term so many times.

- Vengeance.

- Whenever it was directed at them or any other citizen, they could always tell Eula never meant it, despite what she said.

- Now, there was such venom in her words.

- Now it truly seemed like her vengeance would be wrought on them if they didn't say something.

- S/O remained quiet for a little longer before sighing, finally looking at her.

(S/O) "I meant every word, Eula. I truly do love you."

(Eula) "..."

(S/O) "And as much as I trust you...There is no way anyone would ever trust me, especially now that they know where I'm from."

- S/O sadly smiled.

(S/O) "Besides, you never deserved to be treated as you did. I never found that fair."

- Eula felt a single tear run down her cheek, but she dared not impair her vision.

- Now, S/O was planning something.

(Eula) "The Fatui diplomats in the city...do they know who you are?"

(S/O) "No. Only the person who ordered me here, though that was already a year and a half ago. My job was just to watch the Knights' activities posing as a civilian. Instead, I became attached to Mondstadt..."

- S/O reached behind them, prompting Eula's hand to reach for the hilt of her greatsword.

(S/O) "The City of Freedom. To be honest, I wasn't really big on this place when I got here. But after I met you?...It showed me that this place isn't all too bad."

- S/O slowly pulled out a small blade while Eula unsheathed her greatsword, waiting for them to make a move.

- Instead, S/O threw it onto the floor, following a number of other small weapons and tools.

- Eula was confused at first, looking at the weapons then to S/O.

(Eula) "What...?"

(S/O) "I don't want to fight you or anyone else in the Knights."

- S/O turned away.

(S/O) "...Archons know I've already hurt you more than any sword could."

- Eula lowered her weapon, but it remained in her hands.

- S/O slowly walked up to the table where Eula was, and grabbed the papers, walking back to a nearby fireplace, tossing the papers inside.

(S/O) "...Whatever you want to do, I'll accept it, Eula."

- S/O watched as the papers were slowly reduced to ash, not hearing a word from Eula.

- They both remained still in complete silence, not sure what to do...

fireworks | yoimiya

pairing: yoimiya x reader

category/extra notes: fluff, leaks for this one page abt yoimiya we got (im literally creating her whole persona based off of it) so warning for leaks!

a little summary: your eyes shine brighter than any fireworks she ever created.

note: stares back @xiaophobic

“come here!” she laughs at you, a hand outstretched in your direction. her eyes sparkle and she has the brightest smile adorning her face. she looks so happy, so carefree and you can’t help but smile too. you take her hand and she tugs you with her.

she’s always been so lively, so bright, even her own creations seeming dull around her. she was always the shiniest of them all, the prettiest.

you look at the way she laughs with children and the way they stare at her, toothy smiles and messy hair. she’s talking with almost everyone and the way they seem to lit up for a mere second when she chats with them is mesmerizing. she never stops walking though, seemingly still leading you somewhere. she wasn’t called the queen of the summer festival for nothing, you briefly think.

“where are we going?” you ask, holding her hand harder. you were afraid of loosing her in the crowd.

“to see the fireworks!” she answers, turning her head to you, “i worked extra hard on these ones!” she adds, pausing her walk. you two were standing somewhere higher than the rest of the people, the city blinking under you.

“you always say that,” you say teasingly. you know that it’s true though — somehow, she always topped herself, her fireworks performances getting better and better each time.

it’s just that... even though fireworks are fleeting, their blaze and warmth lives in people's hearts forever, she would say every time. and every time you looked at her with so much love and adoration that she shielded away from you, hiding her head in her hands.

“look!” she screams with excitement, pointing with the hand that was still holding onto yours into the sky.

you turn your head from her and look up. everything’s lit up with so much colors, so much sound and it’s just so much like her. you feel as if your breath is taken away, the same way it is each time when you look at her.

if you looked at her again you would see that even with all the fireworks around you, she was looking at you. and all she could think about was the fact that your eyes shined brighter than any of them she ever created.
