i saw a tweet to this effect and then i had to
Brunita, yesterday I saw an Alf x Liza old headcannon and I miss my other babies... Do you have any really cute/fluffy ones? Maybe when they're kids and not together, like 6-7 y/o?
María!! Of course!! My gosh, I missed Alf x Liza SO MUCH. I decided to mix in some Kanej like that nonnie asked, because I miss them just as much :’)
***
A/N: If you guys don’t know about my Six of Crows gen 2, Liza is Kanej’s daughter, and Alf is Wesper’s son! You can read more about those two here.

it didn’t matter that he was a year older
she terrified him
not in the way that the kids at school frightened him, not at all
but in a way that made his heart catch in his throat
that made his chest ache
especially now, as he watched her walk the rope that she’d tied between two thick oak trees, graceful as a bird
ever since they were little, Alf and Liza hadn’t missed a single weekend together
they were inseparable
Alf could remember being smaller and running around in Kaz and Inej’s farm, chasing her through wildflowers and trying not to trip on rocks
he could remember feeding the little ducklings at the pond with her
and saving a little bird that had fallen from his nest - how brave she’d been that day, to climb the tree and place the little one back
“You should be careful,” he tells her now, watching her and wincing with every step she took
she never fell
or he never saw her fall
at last, Liza jumps to the ground, landing like a cat
she smiles tauntingly, “One of these days, you have to stop worrying about every little thing.”
she has grass stains all over her dress
and leaves in her black, wild hair
“Let me have my worry,” he says back, crossing his arms
Liza pushes his blond hair away from his eyes and said, “You worry too much, Alf. One of these days you’re going to get a headache so bad you won’t be able to move. Or you’ll grow another brain so this one can rest,” she pokes the center of his forehead and laughs when he pushes her hand away
the summer afternoons are long and lazy, with them lying on the grass and bathing in the pond, catching frogs just to let them go again
now, she falls backwards, spreading her arms over the flowers
she says, staring up at the sky, “Papa is teaching me card tricks.”
Alf lies down next to her, breathing in the summer air. “Yeah?”
Liza rises on one elbow and looks at him, “I think I’m pretty good at it.”
“You should show me sometimes.”
“I wonder, though, where he learnt it,” she frowns. “Papa is really good at it.”
Alf looks at her. “Ask him.”
“I have,” she says. “But he always says he learned on his own. He never says anything else.”
“Maybe that’s all there is.”
“There’s always more to a story,” Liza murmurs, and lies back down
that makes him think
that’s what she told him once, one day after school, where she’d caught him crying after some kid made fun of him
called him Bastard
Alf didn’t even know what a bastard was supposed to be then - he’d just thought it to be a rude word you called people that you didn’t like
he’d learned over the years what the kid had meant
Alf didn’t have a mother - had never met her
his dads had told him the story - how his aunt Inej had rescued his mother in one of her travels, how she’s given birth to him on that boat, how she’d passed away right after
they’d wanted him to know, they said
they told him what his mother had told Inej that day - the day he was born
they told him of his father, a fjerdan on his way to return to his wife, only to be assassinated on the way to their house
that day, Alf had also learned what assassinated meant
thought his dads had put it gently, Alf had always been a smart kid
he read a lot
so he knew that mean people had done terrible things to his biological parents
he also knew that, if it hadn’t been for Inej, if it hadn’t been for his dads, he probably would never have found himself here - next to Liza, watching the skies, his hair still damp from swimming
Liza had told him, after he’d been angry at the kids for making fun of him, for calling him bastard, “There’s so much more to you than what they think you are.”
there’s so much more to a story
Alf guessed it was easy for her to stay that - she was brave, and unrelenting, and didn’t care what people thought
“”Are you okay?” She whispers to him now, worried, bringing him back to the present
“Yeah,” Alf says. “Just thinking.”
satisfied with that, Liza pats his knee. “I’m going to swim again.”
“I’ll be right there,” Alf murmurs
Liza runs to the pond, and flings herself in, dress and all, startling some ducks that lounged on the grass
Alf watches her, sighing quietly to himself
he never thinks about his biological parents much
his dads are all he ever knew
and they are his, entirely his, even if he isn’t blood
they are his family
as much as Kaz and Inej aer his family
as much as Nina and Matthias are his family
as much as Liza is, too
she calls for him and he waves at her, smiling, mouthing that he’ll be right there
he lies down in the sun for a couple more minutes, thinking
he pities the end his parents got
it unsettles him that there are still people out there that do terrible things to others
it unsettles him even more to know that there are children that will never have his luck
he closes his eyes, trying to push the thoughts away
and then he feels water drip into his face
hovering above him is Liza, smiling down at him
and squeezing the water out of her hair right on top of him
he groans, pushing himself away, “AH! Why would you do that?”
“You were falling asleep in the sun,” Liza laughs. “Look at you - you’re going to get red all over.”
“How friendly of you - to warn me with water on my face.”
she smiles, then takes his hand. “That duck’s been giving me the eye ever since we got here, let’s give him something to talk about to his stupid, snobby friends.”
“Don’t make fun of the duck,” he says, glad to be distracted. “Poor thing.”
Liza scoffs, then sits down at the edge of the pond, before diving down again
the duck flutters his wings and walks away
Alf laughs then, shaking his head, sitting down where she’d previously been, his legs on the water, his shorts wet
she surfaces, then rests a hand on his leg to keep her steady. “You’re not well today.”
she notices everything
that also terrifies him a bit
“I’m just thoughtful,” he splashes her gently. “Let me be.”
“I’ll never let you be,” she shows him her tongue, and he laughs. “Trying to get rid of me will only make me bother you more. What’s on your mind?”
Alf sighs softly, “I’ll tell you one day.”
Liza rolls her eyes. “Tell me tomorrow then. As good a day as any.”
he smiles, watching her swim, opening his mouth to retort-
“LIZA, ALF.”
Alf turns as his uncle limps his way to the porch
“Come back home, dinner is almost ready.”
“We’re coming, uncle Kaz.”
Liza waves, grinning, and Kaz gives her a smile, gesturing with his head for her to come home. “Get yourselves dry, then come eat.”
Liza gives Alf a secret win. “I’ll find out how he knows all those tricks.”
Alf grins. “I suppose you want my help.”
In the kitchen, Inej secretely watches through the window
Kaz comes around, wrapping his arms around Inej from behind her
“Did you see it?” She whispers to him, as Kaz nuzzles his face on her neck
Kaz grins. “She’s good. She’s like you.”
Inej turns to him, biting her lip as if to keep her smile to herself. “Can you believe I taught her that dismount once?”
“I can,” Kaz nods. “She’s your daughter, of course she’s good at it.”
Inej smiles. “She’s her father’s daughter, too. I know you’ve been teaching her tricks.”
Kaz’s chuckle is hoarse and raspy. He says, “She’s too good. I used to go mad with rage because I had to repeat the motions time and time again, but she...picked it up the first time.”
Inej rests her forehead against his chest, smiling to herself
Kaz holds her, kissing the top of Inej’s head. “Eight years ago, I was petrified that I would taint her;” he murmurs, as if he’s speaking to himself. “I thought that, somehow, some of that... darkness would be born in her, too.” Kaz looks out the window thoughtfully, watching as his daughter dances around in the sun. “But she’s the sun.”
Inej looks at him, then touches his cheek. “What darkness?”
“I-”
“What darkness?” She whispers, pulling him down for a kiss
Kaz breathes against her, leaving his cane on the side, his hands touching the counter behind Inej
she pulls back with a smile, then kisses the tip of his nose. “That is lives’ away. Think only of light, Kaz. That is our life now.”
he nods, speechless, his brow touching hers
the garden door opens, and Liza stands there, making a face, Alf on her heels. “Gross,” she tells them both, before making her way to the table
Inej pats Kaz’s chest, laughing softly to herself
they share a look, but say nothing as they depart, and join the children at the table.

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.)

AHHHHH HEIZOU
genshin concert soon hehe
Can I use this as a prompt???
includes: childe, diluc, zhongli x gn!reader
childe
childe wasn’t exactly the type to hide his feelings
however, it’s different when it comes to fear or worry
especially when it comes to you
one night, you decided to wait outside for his arrival; he had been gone all day adventuring but promised to return before it got too late
but night had fallen, and of course you were starting to worry and craving to see him
of course, the universe had different plans. after some waiting, a group of hilichurls managed to find their way to you — you cursed under your breath for straying too far from the harbor’s entrance
you knew how to defend yourself, and you would, but it was still a nuisance
you defeated them easily, but failed to notice the pyro abyss mage that accompanied them until it was shooting fire towards you. it completely caught you off guard
you struggled to catch your footing for only a moment, but that was all it took to get a bit burnt
right as you go to fight back, you see the familiar sight of two hydro blades slashing at the mage, and it’s not long until he’s no longer a threat
and it’s not long until you feel childe’s arms around you
since you knew the weight of the situation, you weren’t worried, but thankful for childe’s swift appearance
you giggle in his arms until pulling away from his embrace and seeing his eyes brimmed with tears
“wait… why are you crying?”
you knew childe well enough to know that these tears were not coming from a place of sadness, it was coming from a place of anger or frustration — you couldn’t exact figure out which one.
“i’m not mad,” he says, wiping his eyes quickly. “not at you, atleast.”
you took a hold of his hand to calm him down as he explained the situation
he thought it was safe enough for him to stop and pick some flowers for you, except he had to go out of his way to find them. he felt as if you getting attacked was his fault — if he had stayed on track he would’ve arrived back sooner.
he doesn’t let the tears fall, but from the way he keeps wiping his eyes, you know he’s emotional
you have to spend a few minutes convincing him that it wasn’t his fault you got a bit hurt, and he finally calms down and cuts himself some slack
before returning back to the harbor, he picks up the flowers he managed to find and tucks one behind your ear.
“i know they aren’t your favorite, but i found a sweet flower. i decided to bring them back here because they’re just as sweet as you.” he says softly.
diluc
you were in the tavern with diluc as usual when you noticed he was acting a bit off
he seemed spaced out; whenever anyone tried it took them multiple attempts to get his attention
so when you got a chance to be alone with him you asked him if he was feeling okay
and of course, diluc being diluc said he was fine. but you weren’t dumb.
“let me close the tavern tonight,” you say softly. “go home, get some rest. you deserve it.”
diluc looks back at you and opens his mouth to protest but he immediately closes it. he closes his eyes and nods.
“…alright.”
you lead him to the door and watched as he walked away, feeling uneasy.
after awhile, the drunkards found their way out of the tavern and you cleaned up before heading home.
the house you shared with diluc was quiet, a soft light across the room being the only indication that diluc was here as well.
you assumed by how quiet and dark it was that he had decided to go to bed
it’s not until you hear him sniffling that you realize he hadn’t
you find him sitting on the end of the bed you shared with him, shoulders slumped, head hanging
“diluc?” you say softly.
he lifts his head and looks at you, not bothering to move the hair hiding his tear-stained face out of the way.
you make your way to him and move his hair away, tucking it behind his ears. you gently wiped the tears off his face and gave him a moment to collect himself.
“do you want to talk about it?”
he takes a deep breath. “there’s not much to talk about. i’m just… in my own head. it’s almost the anniversary of…”
you nod, understanding his feelings. it was, in fact, almost his birthday, but you knew how he felt about that day.
“it’s alright. you’re still healing. it’s okay to feel this way.” you assure him.
you get him into bed and curl up next to him, making sure he knows his feelings are valid and that he doesn’t need to hide them from you, or anyone.
and as you look at him one last time before falling asleep, you swear you see a small smile creep onto his face.
zhongli
you had spent a nice day with zhongli spending time together and walking around the harbor
after awhile, though, you both decided to go further out, making your way up to guili plains and wangshu inn
you both checked on xiao before deciding to make qingce village your final stop of the day.
it killed two birds with one stone — you got to spend time with zhongli and also collect the jueyun chilli’s you promised to get for xiangling
you both parted ways for a moment; zhongli offered to find a nice place to sit as you collected the chilli’s
however, something caught your eye as you did.
a blue flower — unmistakably a glaze lily.
you lean down to examine it. you weren’t a stranger to them despite them being much less common to come by.
the petals were closed, but you knew how to open them. at least, you knew how to try and open them.
you sang a tune to it. nothing crazy, just a song your mother had sang to you as a child that remained one of your favorites.
and to your surprise, the petals opened.
you stared at the flower. you didn’t expect it to open, but now it was. and it was beautiful.
you hear footsteps behind you and see zhongli staring at you, hand covering his mouth.
you silently look at him and then back at the flower to show him.
“i… found an area abundant with the chili’s you need.” he says. his voice trembles slightly.
“zhongli?” you stand up, concerned.
he must know that you’ve noticed. he clears his throat. “i apologize. i was just moved by your interest in the glaze lily’s, i suppose.”
“oh,” you say, standing up and making your way to him. his eyes were watery. “well… they are beautiful. of course i’m enamored by them…”
he smiles softly, sadly.
“there was someone who once loved these lilies more than anyone. i think i see them in you. it is truly a beautiful sight indeed.”
I’m Luciana (she/her) I like creating. Taking requests :)
