Chapter 1: the herta x reader general headcanons
Chapter Text
anonymous asked: ackkkkk I need to see herta in your writing style 😭😭😭😭
"order for...general herta headcanons?"
- madam herta: number 83 of the genius society, the woman who proved the solitary wave theory and emanator of erudition. what is there to say about such a genius?
- well, one thing is for sure; herta is great and she knows she's great. hundreds of puppets of her are scattered across her space station, portraits of her are never far from sight and statues of her are not uncommon, too.
- because of her greatness and confidence in her greatness, many people tend to be intimidated by her. who wouldn't be? she's THE herta, after all; the second smartest being in the universe, only behind nous THEMSELF.
- so, it tends to be quite boring talking to all these mundanites that never provide her with the slightest bit of stimulation. even the ones that do question her always seem to lack any sort of substance in their arguments.
- so when she meets you, a clever spitfire from the intelligentsia guild who not only criticises her but does so with some semblance of intellectual thought? she is intrigued
- after meeting you, she invites you to her office frequently to just talk with her. herta is exactly like the rumours; she's arrogant and fiercely intellectual. arguing with her is like talking to a brick wall. and yet, she persists in inviting you again and again.
- eventually, you become a common presence in the space station. the researchers are used to you standing near herta's office or hearing you arguing passionately with the madam in her office
- at some stage, she invites you to her home to talk with her. she is far more intimidating in person, as a beautiful woman with thousands of puppets of her standing around, observing you as you argue your case.
- and it continues, again and again,
- until you just...move in one day. and live with her.
- CONGRATS! you became madam herta's lover by accident! well, not really by accident. she actually planned this, somewhat. SO, you became madam herta's lover by half-accident!
- herta is a demanding lover, to say the least. she expects constant praise and affection from you when it is convenient for her. and of course, she demands your attention at all times. what could be more important than her?
your actual job, for one - clingy doesn't even begin to describe herta lol. wherever she goes, this woman expects you to be right behind her. not too much to ask, right?
- but she also really likes it when you argue back and criticise her. its what makes you..different from everyone else.
- despite all of her herta-ness, she can actually be surprisingly gentle. she'll help you with fashion, makeup, hair etc, and her touch is always soft and sweet. in these moments, you get a glimpse at a more vulnerable side of herta that's rarely seen.
- also, please cook/bake for her. she has no clue what to do in the kitchen and many herta bots have died awful deaths because of her experiments. to save these poor puppets, youre going to have to learn how to cook, whether you want to or not.
- whenever herta has a portrait of her commissioned, she'll always include you with her. portraits of you and her together are common all across the space station. researchers often gossip about your relationship to herta, wondering why this random intelligentsia guild member is suddenly attached to madam herta.
- she'll also name several discoveries after you! [name] theory, [name] equation, [name] disorder..the list goes on and on.
- she'll also include you in discussions about the simulated universe...in fact, she'll include you in almost all of her projects.
- what can she say? love makes one irrational. even someone like madam herta can't resist its pull.

Chapter 2: househusband! jiaoqiu x reader drabble
Summary:
cw; mentions of death.
Chapter Text
thinking about househusband!jiaoqiu who left his job at the yaoqing after the wedding. he could only handle so many years of healing, knowing that the soldiers would just march back into war and die again and again.
thinking about househusband!jiaoqiu, who decided to stay home while you worked. it was an obvious arrangement, all things considered. jiaoqiu couldn't tolerate his job, and you earned enough to sustain your current lifestlye.
thinking about househusband!jiaoqiu who nags and fusses. he's like a mother hen when it comes to you, always keeping a sharp eye and making sure you're eating and sleeping properly. it can get frustrating, at times, but its the way he shows his love.
thinking about househusband!jiaoqiu, who always packs the most beautiful lunches. your coworkers are jealous, talking about how lucky you are to have a homecooked meal every day. little did they know that one bite of the delicious stew your husband had packed would probably be as spicy as a carolina reaper; he truly was blind when it came to spice. still, his food was always delicious and filling, and it made your day better to see the little notes he writes, always appended with 'from your loving husband.'
thinking about househusband!jiaoqiu, who always insists on buying the freshest ingredients from the farmer's market. sure, its nice that your eggs are free-range and all, but your wallet ends up crying by the end of his trip. however, its not like you can say no either. his pout is, quite frankly, irresistable.
thinking about househusband!jiaoqiu, who's the best friend of all the neighbour's kids. he makes them delicious food, regales them with stories and fables, and even babysits from time to time. it's your coworker suyi's kid sushang that stays over most frequently though, always referring to your husband as 'uncle j.' and it's not uncommon to come home after a long day and see jiaoqiu attempting to teach sushang some new characters to no avail.
thinking about househusband!jiaoqiu who, in the middle of the night, holds you close and tight. he nuzzles into you, and his grip is like iron. on these nights, when his touch is as gentle and reverent as a disciple, he only whispers one thing.
"please..don't leave me."
Chapter 3: short tingyun/fugue idea
Summary:
cw: mentions of death, the whole phantylia impersonating tingyun thing, grieving, depression, many sensitive topics involving grief. please take caution. your mental health matters.
Chapter Text
it was hard for you to accept that your tingyun was gone.
everyone had encouraged you to move on, but you couldn’t bear the idea of losing her.
she was your light. when there was no one else, there was tingyun— with her sharp gaze and clever words. tingyun had a mind like no other, a natural talent for all things; and most of all, she had enough love in her heart to envelop the xianzhou hexafleet in its fullest.
to think that monster had chosen your tingyun, the woman that you danced in the kitchen with and drank tea with, the woman that had a fire in your eyes that never died out, to be her disguise and killed her so mercilessly..you couldn’t take it. you couldn’t.
there were days where you stared at the ceiling, thoughts consuming your mind, thinking of her smile and her grace and her elegance. the way she used to read people like a book, the way she used to comb her tail every night, the way she used to tease you for staring at her too long while walking through aurum alley.
you often stared at the photo of tingyun and you, hanging in the hallway. she had hugged you tight while you looked down at her. her face was bright and glowing. her tail was neat and soft, as it always was. she had the widest smile on her face. she looked happy. she looked radiant. she looked alive.
and when you stare at that photo, you often remember the last thing the real tingyun had said to you, fan in hand.
“i’ll meet you at the sleepless earl, 6 o’clock, sharp! don’t be late like you always are, hm?”
you had come early that day, to make sure you were on time. she never did.
the woman who had come at 6:30 was not tingyun. your tingyun had been lost forever that day.
when you saw your tingyun again, your heart stopped. scratch that, it imploded.
her smile was exactly the same, although it had dimmed slightly. her hair had gotten longer, and her tail..that was the biggest change.
despite this, it was tingyun. you knew it, from deep within your heart. it was her.
tingyun smiled at you, just as she always used to, and waved slightly.
“did you miss me, darling?” she asks, her voice far more gentle than it used to be but still having that tingyun edge, that sort of knowing tone, that musicality to it.
you can’t speak. the words catch in your throat and you want to say something but you just can’t. how do you even begin to describe the love you have for her, the misery you were in without her, the euphoria and strange melancholy you had seeing her now? she was tingyun. and yet, deep down within you, you knew that something had changed within her.
“i-i…” you stutter, and tingyun comes close and hugs you tight. her hands quiver and you realise that she’s feeling just the same as you are right now. seeing the one you love once again, after losing them..it was melancholic, and frightening, too.
you hug her back. even if she had changed, she was still tingyun. still yours.
you resist the urge to cry. she had come back. she was here. happy, radiant, and alive.
Chapter 4: general jade x reader headcanons
Summary:
cw: power dynamics, general warning for jade <3
Chapter Text
anonymous: Hello! Saw Jade getting decimated in the polls so I at least want to try requesting her dating headcanons because I'm like the trailblazer with trash, a starving Raccoon (If that's alright lol).
"order for..general jade headcanons?"
- lady bonajade's exchange is a big, booming business, and jade herself can't possibly manage it all. which is where you come in-- her little busy bee of an assistant.
- you're always beside her, every step of the way. if someone wants to talk to her, they have to get through you. you're an extension of her, and she loves it when other people acknowledge you as such.
- aventurine likes to call you jade's dog, but jade herself thinks you should be proud. after all, not everyone can be so intimate with lady bonajade.
- she spoils you rotten. she buys you whatever you please; jewelery, clothes, books, even a whole planet if you so desire. of course, every deal has its price. yours? giving her as much affection as she desires.
- she also loves dressing you up in fancy silks like a little mannequin. bonus points if its her own clothes. seeing you in her hat brings her genuine joy, something thats rare in the presence of others.
- you're also the only one that has the pleasure of referring to her by her birth name. whilst others have that degree of seperation, she insists on you referring to her as eve. lady eve, if you must.
- date nights wise, jade is quite simple. she dresses you up, dolls herself up and heads to one of the most expensive restaurants in the universe with you by her side.
- her love language is gift giving, as stated above, and physical touch. plenty of it. not in public, of course, jade has a reputation to maintain, but she is almost attached to you in private. if you're cooking, her arms are most certainly wrapped around your waist. if you two are watching a movie, you two are cuddling for almost 100% of the film. plot who? why would you need to pay attention when you're in her arms.
- also, she's incredibly posessive. you are hers, first and foremost, and if she has to prove it, she will. she hates it when you talk to anyone she labels as suspicious
mostly just anyone she dislikes - she'll bring you to every gala, every ball and every event as her plus-one. everyone in the cosmos would know you as lady bonajade's precious lover.
- a relationship with jade would be..complicated, but hey, at least you get free stuff and the affection of one of the most beautiful women in the universe.
Chapter 5: aglaea x reader general headcanons
Chapter Text
anonymous asked: please please please please PLEASE write for aglaea... imagine i am a starving person in the desert looking for an oasis of water to quench my thirst /lh. ok jokes aside, considering we don't know much about aglaea yet i think some general dating headcanons would be really nice, especially with a more cheerful reader insert. would be a nice juxtaposition to aglaea's calm personality.
"order for...general aglaea headcanons?"
- aglaea values simplicity. as someone with the weight of the world on her shoulders, she is used to complex decisions impacting the lives of all those who live on amphoreus.
- and of course, her vision is beyond that of most other men. she sees the threads that bind the world together. she cannot see simple forms, shapes and colours by themselves; not like she used to, anyway.
- so simple things, such as bird songs or the night's breeze, bring her joy.
- your joy, your unadulterated happiness and your love of life itself is what draws aglaea to you. she admires the way that you see things for what they are, admires the way you connect with others on such a deep level and admires the way you see beauty in all things.
- once she is drawn to you and sure of herself, she is rather honest about how she feels. she doesn't believe in hiding her true intent in such intimate matters and makes it clear to you how she feels.
- if you reject her, she accepts it. fate often draws people together, and sometimes it drives people apart. if the wind blows in the opposite direction, so be it. she can live with a broken heart. or so she believes, anyway.
- if you accept her, she'll be overjoyed, although she'll atempt to maintain her refined demanour, which will be incredibly funny to witness lol.
- in the early stages of your relationship, aglaea would definitely have difficulties learning how to juggle her relationship with her duties as a chrysos heir. there will most certainly be times where she is insecure and even more times where she is outright jealous of how carefree you are.
- however, she's mature enough to understand that these feelings are just a result of her stress. HOWEVER HOWEVER she's also very emotionally repressed because of her coreflame so it'll be very hard to get her to talk about her feelings unless you really push, which does make it worse.
- once aglaea develops a routine, however, it becomes a lot easier for her to balance things and as such she'll be a lot more affectionate after a certain point in time.
- when it comes to affection, she's a physical person. she sees romance as being the connection of hearts and minds, and as such believes that physical touch is the easiest way to connect your hearts.
- she's also very protective! she loves you dearly and is admittedly very afraid of losing you. if your late by even a second, she will be messaging you asking where you are and if youre okay etc etc. although it can be annoying sometimes, its because she loves you, so please indulge her.
- she runs warm so on the colder nights its very comfy to be beside her. she's also a koala so expect to have you limbs intertwined like a sailor's knot by morning lol.
- she also LOVES hearing you talk. she could spend hours just listening to you. if you're a yapper, you've met your soulmate because this woman will not only listen to you but also yap back. soulmates <3
- aglaea also believes in acts of service. she'll always takes on extra burdens for you, and will do the best she can to make life easier for you. after all, what is love without the sharing of burdens?
- also, BATHS. you two would bathe together everyday if aglaea had her way. she loves not just the physical contact, but just the intimacy of it all. please give her a massage; she definitely needs it.
- overall, she's a hopeless romantic at heart. a simple, domestic life is what she craves, and she'll do whatever she can to have it with you.
Chapter 6: phainon, mydei and dan heng with a rukkhadevata! reader
Summary:
cw: love squares, mentions of warfare, possessiveness (from dan heng)
Chapter Text
kimura-uzui asked: Hello I want to request
Rukkhadevata!Femreader
One-shot
romantic 🤭 for the male character and platonic if you want to add the other character other than the male of the character.
Like she is one of a member of nameless too, and one day she join dan heng and trailblazer to go to amphoreus , Imagine the look of amphoreus male when they meet her 👀 they must be so interested in rukkhadevata!fem reader, because just look at her in the trailer of nahida, she looks so Majestic! Pretty and she must be so smart too! because she was a archon of wisdom. Thats all I leave the rest to you
🤔 um she is appear in hsr world after she use exhaust herself in genshin world,you know? After she use her power.
(I have so many Ideas these days for hsr request 👀)
"order for.. phainon, mydei and dan heng with a rukkhadevata! fem! reader?"
- you are the most elegant person on the express. anyone that meets you would agree that you're the epitome of grace and wisdom. you always know exactly what to say at what time, and even have a godly aura about you.
- the members of the astral express respect you greatly. you're almost seen as a 'mother' figure amongst them, in a similar vein to mr yang. you are the first person they go to for advice, comfort or just general chat.
- dan heng especially seems to admire you quite a bit. more than the others on the express by a mile. he's always by your side, like your shadow. even if he doesn't talk that much, anyone could tell that he's particularly fond of you. its march's favourite material to tease him with.
- "march, you're being too emotional right now. you need to think logically." "says the one obsessed with ms name! don't see you being too logical when it comes to her, hm?"
- so it was a no brainer to send you, dan heng and caelus to amphoreus. at least for the other members of the express.
- the minute you landed on amphoreus and met him, phainon was attached to your side as frequently as dan heng. he was constantly talking to you, asking about your background, the world beyond the stars.
- he was fascinated by your grace. you were like the titans in the fables, before the chaos; elegant, wise, beyond what was ordinary. you were fascinating.
- but, as phainon grew closer to you, dan heng began growing a bit..territorial. it was in the vidyadhara's nature, after all, to guard their possessions fiercely.
- so, the two traded barbs like they were in fierce combat, whilst you and caelus watched in confusion. both of you were utterly clueless as to the love triangle that was forming.
- little did you know that was to be a love square with the induction of mydei, prince of kremnos.
- when he saw you in battle, confident and proud, he knew that you were to be his.
- there is no subtlety with mydei. he will outright court you. whether you reciprocate it or not, that's up to you.
- whatever may be the case, a temporary alliance formed between phainon and dan heng against mydei.
- the two of them attempted to sabotage mydei's courting in every way possible, some of it ridiculous in this nature.
- what were you doing amongst this chaos? resting in okhema's baths, a relaxed sigh escaping your lips as you continued reading your book.
- aeons, those boys really could be silly.
Chapter 7: snoring reader hcs (kafka, tingyun, jiaoqiu, jing yuan, sunday and elio)
Chapter Text
super short hcs: snoring reader
jing yuan: this man is a honk-shoo kinda guy so i don't think he'd notice. he does wake up before you though so he might hear you but honestly he can't really make fun of you for it because he snores too...the snore orboros, if you will.
sunday: 'i will endure it for my love...' sunday says as he's on his 8th night of no sleep and going insane. he's such a pathetic sweetheart he's absolutely suffering but won't say a single thing because he wants you to be happy. poor sunny. won't even buy earmuffs or plugs.
jiaoqiu: will take you to a sleep apnea clinic. he will NOT be losing sleep because of your snoring. if he hears you snore one more time he will self combust.
tingyun: honestly, i think she wouldn't care. she'd consider it like white noise or something, y'know? sort of like crickets jumping in the middle of the night. she might even find it cute.
elio: predicted it about 10 years ago. he doesn't care because he doesn't sleep. he watches you sleep and observes you, all night long. one time firefly caught him doing this and reminded herself to never walk into your room in the middle of the night. he's your personal sleep paralysis demon.
kafka: she's sort of like jiaoqiu except that she'll spirit whisper you into stopping if she finds it annoying one day and has your permission. can she do that? i'm not sure. if she can, she will. she needs her beauty sleep.
Chapter 8: platonic! dan heng x reckless teen reader
Chapter Text
"order for..platonic dan heng with a reckless teen reader headcanons?"
- dan heng will probably age another 200 years because of you.
- although he pretends not to care and is very, very exasperated by your shenanigans, he'll definitely keep an eye on you and make sure you're safe.
- he'll always come and help you even if he's mad or upset with you. just don't expect him to be happy.
- he reminds you to stay safe and will often check up on you
- does have a tendency to lose his temper with you at times but he doesn't mean it. he just wants you safe and alive. he can't lose you.
- will text you randomly just to make sure you aren't doing something stupid
- he'll also ask trailblazer or march to go with you on expeditions if he can't come himself because what if you pick a fight with someone again for like the 80th time?
- he does admire your confidence greatly, although he'll never say it out loud.
- basically you get a cool big brother for the price of getting scolded by him every other week.
Chapter 9: elio x reader drabble
Chapter Text
there's something so distinctly unnerving about elio that it's hard to talk to him for more than absolutely necessary.
seeing the future is unsettling enough; he knows more about you than you ever will, and something about that fact is chilling to the core for most intelligent lifeforms. but more than that, its the way he seems so..detached.
like an observer, so utterly anhedonic and apathetic. there is a smile on his face but it isn't there. he doesn't live in this future alone-- he lives in several, all it once, like a spider in its web. and why would he focus on one particular strand when there were so, so many others to observe, to control and to weave?
he claims that you appear in every future of his, right beside him. you doubt it, but you weren't blessed with finality's gaze like him, so you can't confirm your suspicion.
he reads you hymns from the ancients, prayers from the future and poems from the present. only when he is talking to you does he seem tethered to this reality. there is a sensitivity to his tone, a hunger in his touch and a need in his voice that no one else can bring out.
you aren't sure why he is the way he is. but your current hypothesis is that living in the future makes one blind to the present.
so maybe he is right. maybe you do appear in his futures. after all, a slave like him, a slave of destiny, would never be able to see beyond his master's gaze.
