Summary
He’s never cried this much in his life, never thought he had a legitimate reason to, never even considered that he ever would. Something heavy and warm closes around his throat, clasping with a small click and Darius makes a self-satisfied noise. His hands shoot out to grab at the fabric, to tear it away from him, but hesitate when instead of brushing fine silk they find cotton. It’s high quality, as expected because this is Darius’ cloak, but it's so different from the Golden Guard cape that his hands grip the fabric tighter instead of ripping it from his throat. The weight of it is both a painful reminder and a terrible comfort.
Then, softly, “I’ll take care of it, so please stop fighting me.”
Looking at the man is difficult, but Hunter manages it. He looks very serious, like he's in a meeting or negotiating for something important. It almost makes his laugh; why would Darius need any amount of agreement from Hunter?
“I promise.”
He didn’t ask Darius to, but maybe that’s what makes him believe it more.
ORRRRRRRRR I got my grubby hands on hollow mind and decided it wasn't BAD ENOUGH ALREADY.

Summary
After everything that happened, when the dust settled, the others cried. Not all at once, but in fits and starts. Gus first, and then Luz, when she was talking to her mom. Amity that night, when everyone was supposed to be asleep. Willow, surprisingly, early that next morning, seemingly unprompted.
Hunter understood. They were younger, less trained. They didn’t know how to just keep on moving forward, yet. And they were civilians, not soldiers, so it was more acceptable for them. Safer.
The others could cry. That wasn’t something Hunter did, though.
---
In the aftermath of the Day of Unity, the others cry. Hunter doesn't: because he doesn't need to, because that's not the kind of thing he does, because that's not who he is.

Summary
After taking a few minutes to pull himself together, Xiao finally opened his eyes and lifted his head to regard his master properly. Zhongli’s golden eyes wandered down his body, examining him carefully, then came back up to linger on his face. Or, more specifically, on his injured cheek. Xiao flinched involuntarily and evaded his gaze, turning his face the opposite way, but Zhongli didn’t comment on it.
“Why don’t you come here and tell me everything about it, while I take a look at your injuries?”

Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
31 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
Aether hasn't been able to sleep for weeks, his dreams consisting of the same thing over and over; he'd say something along the lines of; "I love you, I have for a while now..", yet the only response he'd get was a disgusted face before the person he was confessing to turned away and left. Then it all fading to black, finally ending once he woke up.
When Aether volunteers to babysit Albedo's (his long-term crushs') younger sister; Klee, while he and their parents were out, he suggests that they watch Cinderella.
"A dream is a wish your heart makes..."
"What do you dream of, Aether?"
"Um..."

Summary
Grian has been many things.
A servant of a respected noble family. A survivor, with bruises on his skin and hidden wings tied down to his back. A rebel, sneaking away for a night of wonder in the heart of the kingdom - and a curiosity, gawked at by all as the King himself swept him into his arms and spent hours by his side.
When Scar spent days tracking Grian down and helping him escape the cruel grasp of the Watchers, Grian thought his life couldn’t surprise him anymore. Pledging his life to serve Scar was all he could do to thank his King.
Of course, being the personal servant of the King comes with its' own risks - and now Grian could add ‘hostage’ to his list of titles.
Or; someone decides kidnapping King Scar’s beloved servant was a good idea. It really wasn’t.

Summary
Albedo has no clue how many hours pass by as he sketches. His imagination runs wild, making the pose he's drawing differ significantly from the hastily chosen reference material, but it's close enough - it's still bright, it's still loud, still laughing. An image of the golden flower tilting his head up to the sun, a sweet beam on his face as his braid of woven sunlight swishes in the air behind his back.
Albedo pauses, before sketching a golden sunflower behind his ear. It spirals, until lithe buttercups thread themselves through the long plait, and the boy's expression turns into one of surprised delight as a golden butterfly perches on his nose...
Oh gods.
Albedo has literally just drawn this very real and existing man into some sort of Disney prince.
This might be the most inanely embarrassing thing he has ever done.
in which PhD student Albedo is a closet famous Instagram artist, and he falls head over heels for a golden flower who shines brighter than the sun.

Summary
“We should get you to a doctor-”
“No, no- no need, I’ll be fine, seriously-“
“Are- are you sure? You’re really hurt-“
Aether lifts his hand to where blood from his nose is running into his mouth. He leans back his head, brain spinning with the sudden movement, pressing his fingers on his nose bridge until he can breathe through the blood clotting it again.
Or.
Aether is no hero. Accused of a murder he didn't commit, forced to flee the nation and live a life he doesn't know how to lead on his own. A hero rises to the challenge and fights for the greater good to the bitter end.
Aether’s exhausted. He doesn’t want to fight even if he thinks he could.

Summary
You really thought you had a handle on this, is the thing. Weird, persistent headaches are routine just as much as swinging your dagger at Sadnesses had become. That is to say - it happens maybe not all the time but a few times a week and only sometimes for several days straight.
It didn’t bother you, not really.

Or, Siffrin has chronic migraines. His friends eventually catch onto that fact.

Summary
It's weird, being so used to pain and dying and slicing your own neck that the absence of pain and dying and slicing your own neck feel like... a loss. Like part of your routine has been abruptly taken from you and you don't know what to do with your time anymore.
You make do.

Summary
Watchers were supposed to be worshipped. It’s their source of powers as minor deities, after all.
Grian, who wanted nothing more than to forget his Watcher past, was quite happy not to be worshipped at all. So when the Hermits collectively started praying to Xelqua and Grian started to gain a lot of Watcher magic, it put a real damper on his mood, health, self-perception and his relationships. With Mumbo gone off-world, it was now up to Scar, Pearl and Xisuma to worry about him – if Grian would let them. But Grian was nothing if not stubborn. He’d get through this alone, right?
..Right?

Summary
“Grian, it’s just me,” Mumbo said, his voice soothing. “I just wanted to check on you, mate. You’ve been really quiet lately.”
Quiet. That’s one way to put it. Grian felt a bitter laugh bubble up in his throat, but it got stuck on the way out. He hadn’t just been quiet- he had shut down completely. He knew it, and so did Mumbo.
Or, Grian's isolating himself. Mumbo doesn't know how to help.

Summary
“This is Jellie,” he said, his voice warm with affection. He pointed to the cat. “Jellie.”
Grian hesitated, then spoke the word slowly, testing it on his tongue. “Jellie?”
Scar’s smile widened, and he nodded. “Yes, Jellie.”
Something in Grian’s chest loosened at the simple exchange. It was a small victory, but it felt like a step in the right direction. He repeated the name again, more confidently this time. “Jellie.”
Or, Scar and Grian learn to communicate. And Scar learns what a Watcher is, in perhaps the worst way possible.

Summary
Grian does not say I love you. He does not say anything at all. Instead he guides Scar’s head down, until their lips brush, the taste of copper flooding Scar’s tongue. Then his hand drops, and his lungs stutter, one last, pained noise escaping his lips–
Scar wakes up choking on his own desperate scream.
For a moment, that’s all he can comprehend– the agonizing wail of loss that reverberates through his entire body. Scar breaks off with a harsh gasp, breath coming in short, stuttering bursts as he lifts his hands to cover his face. Grian’s lifeless eyes flutter in the dark spaces between his palms and pupils; Scar heaves, and shakes, and coughs as he forces his rabbiting heart to slow and his breaths to come even and deep.
He has to see if Grian’s okay.
