Hi @aetherarf !
Can you write a Xiao x Ganyu fanfiction where Ganyu is hurt in a battle against the Primo Vishap (Because I always die trying to farm it) and a completely clueless Xiao who refuses help attempts to help her?
Hello! And here it is! I apologize if it's a little off but tbh my brain died and i just kept writing to have something to post.

[[ INJURY WARNING ]]
[[ Summary: When he does not feel his name called, and yet he does feel the shifting of wind and the aching yet silent cry of the Qilin... He must follow it, only to find something far worse than he expected.
Word Count: ]]
It was a quiet enough night on his own-- He had hunted countless beasts, and now Xiao was eating pensively, looking down at the almond tofu before him... He wondered if there was a way it could be rendered tasteless, instead of the sickly sweetness that haunted his tongue, only soothed by the silkiness it offered.
Setting down his spoon, he looked to the landscape...
And...
A cry.
He tense, there was no sound of his name-- in fact, it was not even an audible cry, but it was so intense that his body ached from it, like the deafening shriek of a dragon just ran through his body, but did not make a single sound...
If he could hear his name carried on the wind, he could follow the sound of the silent ringing...
... ... ...
He found his way to Tianqiu Valley, and... to say 'chaos had struck' was an understatement- Normally, the Primo Geovishap was content to reside deep under the earth, within its cave, needing to be defeated regularly and its strength sapped with the purest resin to stop it from progressing to a more lethal state...
Was it time for the Adepti to subdue it again? Had it been too long, and even Xiao had forgotten? Had it learned to avoid their attempts at stopping its growth to a more terrifying beast?
He could not think of that now, instead donning his mask and leaping towards the creature, blinking in and out of sight, only to get closer, and the beast shrieked, standing over a figure--
Ganyu.
Of course, she had attempted to subdue it... But with the pale markings on its body, it seemed to consume and crystallize all of the Qilin's attempts to destroy it. The scent of blood haunted him, and he leapt at the creature from above, sending his spear into the earth, the ground shaking, and the Geoshivap glared at him...
And, before he knew it, it was over.
The frost had seeped from its scales, turning the water in the air to ice, a facade of snow, desperately clawing through the earth. He would need to check later, to possibly defeat it again, he lucky enough to not be as perceptive to the beast's hunger to consume whatever force he had to offer...
But instead of chasing it when it was weakened, even if it was likely the more reasonable option, he found himself returning to Ganyu's side. She lay on the ground, bumps and bruises and some cuts, but no bleeding that seemed lethal or even too severe... He would have panicked if it were not how she lay- Hands resting on her stomach, just looking at the sky, her bow within reach, but knocked to the ground. Despite that she was fine, he still sat on his knees beside her, reaching and setting his hand atop hers, and she tilted her head to the side... Just looking at him, with tears glazing over her eyes, her lips quivering just the slightest bit...
"... Ganyu," he said, softly, his grip atop her hands tightening just the slightest bit, "Are you..." He paused, looking at her face, at how desperately she fought the tears that wanted to fall, "Injured?"
Softly, she sighed, "N-no... I mean..." Her voice was choked up, a silent suffering, "I'll heal," she clarified with a smile that was faker than the weakest Xiao could ever muster. Xiao shook his head, before grabbing her hands, trying to tug her upwards but she pulled her hands back, "No, no... I'm-I just want to lie for a moment."
He looked over her for a moment, softly sighing... Snaking his hand below her head just so it was slightly less hard than the rough ground below.
"... I... I always feel helpless," Ganyu admitted, softly, "Like I just keep messing up, I can't fulfil the duties of both a human and an adeptus... but I should be able to, shouldn't I?"
She closed her eyes, sighing softly, simply relaxing where she lie... And Xiao pursed his lips, looking away for a moment, and then back to Ganyu.
What could he say...?
His hands twitched, and he felt a lump in his throat.
"You... have done enough. You can rest."
Somehow, he felt like he shouldn't be saying such a thing, but he truly couldn't help it. Those were words Rex Lapis would speak, with love to those who still served.
"And you shouldn't?" Ganyu pushed herself up, "I appreciate it... But if your work isn't done, neither is mine."
Xiao's hands nearly tingled, he almost wishes she lie for a moment longer, but...
"... You cannot control such things," he said, softly, "that will hinder you. You fought valiantly... that is not your fault that... the odds were against you."
Ganyu shook her head, and stood.
"Thank you, Xiao... please, let me just use the resin to weaken the beast... And I'll return to Liyue harbor. I'm sure you have more important things to do."
And Ganyu left, and Xiao could only helplessly watch...
...
Well, he did have more important things to do, despite how, for once, he wanted to do nothing but shirk those duties.
Anyways. This short fic was inspired by this little bit from the anime because they’re totally a family. *sob*
Nightmares
“Are you awake?” Erza whispered, twirling her fingers through Jellal’s hair. It was a hot, muggy night. Jellal had passed out hours ago, arms wrapped around her hips, head resting against her belly. She traced her finger down the scars across his bare back. “How are you even asleep?” She smiled as her husband’s grip around her tightened.
“’m not,” he mumbled, his lips moving against the fabric of her shirt. “Too hot.”
“It might be cooler if you let go,” Erza said, running her fingers through his hair again. He groaned.
“Never.”
“At least come closer,” she whispered. Jellal sat up, his hair a mess, his eyes shimmering in the pale moonlight streaming in from the window. He smiled. Erza shook her head and grabbed his arm, pulling him down to kiss him. He sighed against her lips, brushing her red hair away from her eyes, and then kissed her again.
Then he groaned. “It’s too hot,” and flopped back over onto his side of the bed. Erza turned to tease him, but the moment she did there was a scream from across the hall.
“Wendy,” Jellal whispered, his eyes wide. He was out of bed before Erza could even respond. It had been a while since she had had a nightmare. Jellal yanked on his t-shirt and was striding across the hall before Erza even had time to react.
Since Erza and Jellal’s wedding, Erza had noticed Jellal was closer than ever to Wendy. She had, for some time now, thought of Wendy as her daughter. And Jellal, when Jellal and Erza had finally started dating, she knew he felt the same way. She almost smiled about it as she threw her blankets aside and pulled herself out of bed. Wendy could ask Jellal for anything and he’d give it to her. Such a pushover.
On the other side of the hall Wendy was still screaming: “He’s coming! He’s coming!” They were familiar words. Erza had heard her scream the same ones every night for weeks after Acnologia. Now… every so often the same nightmare came back. Erza’s heart hurt everytime she heard Wendy scream in her sleep. She saw some things… some things that no little girl should ever have to see. And then she paused in her doorway, clutching the doorframe till her knuckles turned white. No. She saw some things that no one should ever have to see.
Erza sighed, padding barefoot out into the hallway. Light streamed out from Wendy’s room, and she could hear soft murmuring. Jellal whispering over and over, “It’s okay. It’s okay. It was just a dream.” Erza could hear Wendy sobbing. She gently pushed the door open to see Jellal kneeling by Wendy’s bed. Wendy was still sitting on her mattress but was practically buried in Jellal’s arms—sobbing into his shirt—clutching at him like she still couldn’t quite believe that she was safe. Jellal glanced up at Erza, offering her a worried smile. It’s okay. She’s okay.
She was calming down, her trembling slowly dying away, her breath coming in gasps. “I’m… I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” She breathed. Jellal looked bewildered.
“What…?”
“I wake you so much…” she whispered, pulling away from his embrace, rubbing away her tears with her hands. “And they’re just dreams.”
“Wendy.” Erza said, sitting down next to her on her bed. “You’re right. They’re just dreams. But you should never apologize. Jellal and I, we have nightmares too. And we wake each other up. We’re there for each other. And we want to always be there for you—when you need us.”
Wendy stared up at Erza for a long moment, and then tears welled up in her eyes. “Promise?”
“Of course,” Jellal frowned, “Always.” Wendy pulled them both into a hug.
“Thank you.”
“I have an idea,” Erza declared. “I’m going to make some hot chocolate. We’ll all have some together, and then lets try and get some sleep. This time we’ll have good dreams.”
Wendy laughed a little, wiping the last evidence of tears away from her eyelashes. She beamed up at both of them as they stood. “Alright, can I help?”
“Sure,” Erza smiled, pulling her up to her feet. “You find the hot chocolate mix. I’ll heat up the water. Deal?”
“Deal.”
Based on Veechu’s Idol Au, once again most of these are based in K-Idol culture as that’s what I’m more well versed in.

genshin impact | T | 1967 childe/lumine | established relationship [ao3]
Childe and Lumine remember their first kiss very, very differently.
-
“We’ll go in the summer,” Childe had promised, and she had honestly believed that with all her heart. Remembered her adventures in the Golden Heart Archipelago with Klee and Jean and imagined all golden shores and blue skies and wide, open oceans. She was ready for that.
She was not ready for the bulky winter wear. She was not ready for the temperature that was like large hydro and cryo slimes all over her body, freezing her until there’s not much left to be frozen again.
(This is where she starts to doubt Childe’s rose-colored glasses.)

Hi Bruna I've just read your latest kenej fic (hope I spelt that right lol) and now I really, really need to know what kaz's surprise is!! Anyway as usual I love your writing, keep up the good work!🥰😍
Thank you, my lovely!!
continuation to this
***
Inej Ghafa is not a fan of surprises
and more than that: she doesn’t like to be kept waiting
she’s an impatient one, the Wraith
and Kaz knows it
“Why do you insist on teasing me?” she asks him on their journey back home, frowning to herself
“Are you pouting at me, Wraith?”
a roll of her eyes is all she received
you know what? Inej doesn’t think she likes this version of Kaz anymore
indeed, she tells him just that
“Oh no,” Kaz drawls, looking over at her. “What will I do with my broken heart now?”
“You are terrible.”
he truly is
and he grins like he knows
like it pleases him that she knows it as well
the farm isn’t so different
he’d stuffed down memories, hidden them in depths of his mind that he’d rarely allowed himself to go to years before
memories of green fields and the stream behind it, where Jordie and him used to bathe in summer days - days he almost didn’t remember, and were now only hazy memories, filled with smoke
sometimes Kaz thinks he might’ve dreamed those images
his brother’s smile as he tried to catch salmon with his bare hands
his father calling them back home as the sun set
Kaz imagined that if he’d had a mother, she’d be calling him too
and he’d run into her arms
Kaz’s memories took him back to cold nights by the fire - the beautiful hearth that his father had built with his bare hands, and that Kaz had fixed all on his own
he hadn’t allowed anyone to touch that particular place of the house - it had been his to fix
he remembered cats and dogs running around, chasing each other, and Kaz chasing them, bruising his knees
at last, when they arrive, Inej is jumping
he smirks down at her, taking her hand in his
his limp is worse today - much worse, and Inej notices
she holds his arm, and he can feel her balance him, even if she is barely doing it
Inej is very subtle in helping him, that’s something he noticed over the years
“Where is it?”
“What is?”
“My surprise,” she says as she helps him up the porch stairs
Kaz snorts on a laugh. “You really don’t like waiting for things, do you, Inej?”
“Tell me.”
“For the hundreth time: I am not telling you.”
“What is it,” she insisted, watching him. “What is it, what is it, what-”
“No.”
Inej sighs. “If we ever have a child, I swear he’ll take after you in that department.”
and without another word, she walks inside the house
but Kaz pauses on the doorway
the words did something to him
he knew she thought nothing of what she said but-
Kaz’s eyes stray to that fireplace - hazy memories of his father there
suddenly the picture of him and his own son there glued to his mind
and Inej, there, too
her arms around them both-
“Kaz?” Inej calls
shaking his head to himself, Kaz enters the house
“He should be here any minute.”
Inej doesn’t know if she should grin or be frightened
so her face contorts into something in between
“Who?” She begs
Kaz smiles
she steps into his space. “Tell me.”
“That’s not going to work.”
her eyes trace the line of his jaw, the scar in between his lips and his chin
the strong eyebrows, and his dark eyes
“Stop it,” he snarls, and moves away from her
Inej smiles. “I just looked at you.”
“Exactly.”
she looks triumphant
suddenly, Kaz looks over his shoulder - to the door he left open
to the figure now walking towards the house
and then-
Inej gasps
not at the girl-
but at what she brings, leashed and golden and furry
“No, you did not.”
“I did,” he grins
“I’m going to cry,” Inej breathes
“I was prepared for it.”
Inej and Kaz step onto the porch
and sure enough-
the girl smiles and waves, a close neighbour, for the looks of her, and beside her is a very enthusiastic little boy, waving his tail when he sees Kaz and Inej, his tongue lapping out of his mouth
Inej is speechless
“He’s yours,” Kaz tells her. “If you want him.”
“Shut up, Kaz,” Inej breathes, and takes a step closer
the girl says, “He’s just turned two months old.”
“Oh, beautiful Saints,” Inej whispers, and real tears formed in her eyes as the puppy came right onto her, trying to leap into her arms. “I love him.”
the girl smiles, and Kaz gives her a nod of thanks
“He’s really ours?” Inej says, looking over her shoulder at Kaz
Kaz can only nod
watching her
there’s an odd feeling in his face - he can only guess his cheeks are hurting from smile
when the girl leaves, Inej sits on the grass, and the puppy takes the chance to lick her hands, her face
Inej is laughing, wrapping her arms around him
Kaz says softly, “Do you like it, Inej?”
“I can’t believe you’d do this,” she tells him as Kaz comes closer, watching her. “I mentioned this months and months ago. We were not even married then.”
“The day I proposed,” Kaz says. “I remember your exact words. How you would one day get a dog. That it was another wish you would give in to.”
she looks at him with a sort of amazement. “Of course you remember.”
Kaz tentatively sits down on the grass with her, cane by his side, and yelps when the puppy jumps into his lap
Kaz pushes his face away when he tries to lick his face, but gives him a few tentative pats on the head, and the puppy is all too happy to lie there, eyes closed, mouth opened, as if he’s smiling
Inej leans in, and kisses Kaz’s cheek. “I love you.”
“Is that meant for him?” Kaz taunts
“For you,” Inej smiles softly. “For you, Kaz.”
Kaz looks over her, their lips so close
he leans in, but the puppy jumps up, breaking them apart, and Kaz holds him in his arms, letting out a little laugh that Inej clung to
she adored to see Kaz’s face like this
she says, “I might not like surprises. But I might make an exception for yours now.”
