It just seems obvious that the creator should be OP since, well their the creator. Might not be Mihoyo or Hoyoverse themself but the creator still has control over their alocytes powers, so why not control their powers??
The OP-ness can change when their in a certain mood, like when their happy, their attacks won't do much. When their angry, probably make an earthquake or two.
When their pissed- it's a death wish for that poor soul.
Just a thought. Use it if you want too, make sure to tag me though :))
HSR CHARACTERS X AEON READER?? THEM BEING YOUR FAV???? LIKE GENSHIN SELF AWARE AU???

Eula was universally shunned in the beginning years of her time in Mondstadt.
Even trying to get groceries to eat was a major problem for her due to her clan's history.
Clan Lawrence was seen as nothing but monsters, and the people of Mondstadt treated her as such.
There were precious little people who treated her as an equal, disregarding her past.
Though, there was one person who she never expected to meet…
===
In Angel's Share, Eula stopped by the bar to grab a drink after a hard day's work.
But of course, it wasn't as simple as she wanted.
Everyone in the tavern looked at her with scorn, either scooting away or muttering behind her back.
Eula sighed, looking at the bartender.
(Eula) "Can I just get a drink? I'll leave as soon-"
(Bar patron) "Maybe you should just go."
Eula turned to her left and saw three customers who were obviously drunk.
The Bartender thankfully gave her the drink without a fuss, though it was most likely to get her to leave as soon as possible.
Eula grabbed her drink and prepared to leave before being stopped by the three men.
(Man 1) "Put that back, you don't deserve it!"
(Eula) "Tch, do you want me to leave or not?"
(Man 2) "You're damn right we do! But you don't get to leave with Mondstadt beer, Lawrence girl!"
Eula was about to say something else before the door swung wildly open, hitting two of the three away.
Everyone looked up in surprise, including Eula, to see who did so.
(???) "Whoops, pardon me."
The man/woman waltzed right in without a care in the world, ignoring the potential fight that was about to break out and sat themselves in front of the stool.
Though what Eula could notice, no one was any happier to see them than her.
…Now that she thought about it, who were they?
They had a massive fur cape on, completely concealing the clothes they were wearing.
Eula had never met them before, which was strange considering that their clothing would stick out like a sore thumb in the city.
Not even the Knights of Favonius dressed as flashy.
(???) "Barkeep, a mug please."
(Bartender) "Hmph. Surprised you haven't drank yourself to death."
(???) "Trust me, working on it."
One of the men pushed Eula aside while the other two blocked the door.
(Man 1) "Oh great, now we gotta deal with you."
The mystery man/woman paid no attention as they yawned.
(Man 1) "HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU!"
The man shoved them nearly off the chair, making the person annoyed.
(???) "Hi yes, welcome to my personal spa-"
They stopped their sentence when they made eye contact with Eula.
(???) "…What, is it my turn to get harassed?"
(Man 1) "It's your turn to get the hell out! We don't want Lawrence or Belmont filth in our city!"
Eula's eyes widened at the name.
Belmont.
House Belmont?!
Back during Clan Lawrence's rule, they banished House Belmont for supposedly working against them.
To her knowledge, the Belmont's were monster hunters, taking down anything that was a threat to the city. But due to fear from Lawrence and misinformation, they were eventually exiled.
That was centuries ago, and everyone believed the lineage to be extinct.
Though, Eula supposed she must've missed a person if she's hearing about it now.
Getting a good look at them now, their hair was disheveled and greasy, their clothes looked grimy and most likely smelled horrible.
Their eyes had bags and face looked dirty and tired.
Where the hell were they living?
Her mind snapped out of thinking when she realized the Belmont was staring directly at her now.
(???) "Lawrence, eh?"
They got up from their seats, pushing away the man, making him almost trip.
The other two blocking Eula stanced up.
(???) "Back away from the lady, eh? Doubt she needs to deal with a buncha assholes like us right now."
(Man 2) "WHAT DID YOU CALL US?!"
The second man charged the Belmont, for them to step to the right and dodge.
Well, step was a strong word for what Eula saw. More like drunkenly stagger.
The man ran straight into a stool as they continued talking to her.
(???) "So you're the Lawrence everyone keeps whining about."
Eula furrowed her brow. She had no idea if this Belmont resented her for being a Lawrence, though this time it was much more of a justified reason.
(???) "Honestly? Not as scary as the city makes you out to be."
They turned to the third man.
(???) "Why's it you hate her exactly?"
(Man 3) "Like you, Belmont.-" spits "-A child of such an evil clan doesn't belong here!"
(???) "Mhm. Riveting. Attention everyone!"
It was clear to Eula the Belmont was being dramatic, since everyone was already staring.
(???) "(Y/N) Belmont and…Er, What's your name?"
(Eula) "Eula?-"
(Y/N) "-Eula Lawrence, will take our drinks and leave in peace! Now kindly stop riding our asses and piss off." (Y/N) grabbed their own drink after shoving the two men aside, then walked near the door past Eula.
Eula set to follow before the third man grabbed her by the wrist.
(Eula) "H-Hey!"
(Man 3) "WE SAID LEAVE IT-"
(Y/N) "Ugh, I'm sorry my beautiful beer-"
SMASH! Eula gasped when the man's head was hit full force with (Y/N)'s mug, sending them flying and hitting the other two.
(Bartender) "GET THE HELL OUT, BELMONT! I'LL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER GO ANYWHERE IN MONDSTADT AGAIN!"
(Y/N) "Yeah yeah, plague be upon my House and name and all that shit. Fuck off Mondstadt, and good night!"
They stormed away after kicking the door open, Eula standing there shocked for a moment.
After processing what happened, she ran after them.
(Eula) "H-Hey!"
(Y/N) "Oh for god's sake I'm-" They stopped midsentence upon seeing Eula.
(Y/N) "…Oh. You."
They looked at her wrist for a moment.
(Y/N) "They didn't hurt you did they?"
(Eula) "Thanks to you, no."
(Y/N) "There's my good deed for the year, nice talking to you, bye-bye!"
They continued to walk away but Eula still went after.
(Eula) "Why did you do that for me?"
They didn't stop walking towards the exit of the city, but continued talking.
(Y/N) "I just hate jackasses like those guys, that's all."
(Eula) "But…I'm a Lawrence."
(Y/N) "That you are."
(Eula) "Shouldn't you hate me?"
They stopped in their tracks, Eula running into their back and bouncing off.
(Y/N) "…I should, shouldn't I? It was House Lawrence that condemned my family to extinction."
They turned around and looked at her.
(Y/N) "They were the ones who made my ancestors stop protecting the people of Mondstadt, to make them forget we protected them from monsters, to make them hate us!"
Eula stepped back in a small amount of fear.
(Y/N) "No, you're right. I hate House Lawrence."
Eula looked down. She shouldn't have expected anything else-
(Y/N) "But I don't hate you."
(Eula) "…W-What?"
(Y/N) "Sure I wish your ancestors can fuck a dead dog in a ditch and kill themselves, but what's that gotta do with you?"
They shrugged nonchalantly.
(Y/N) "What would a descendant from House Lawrence be doing in Mondstadt if they weren't trying to get away from their family? You might be trying to make them not seem as bad anymore, but you do what you do. I don't care."
They waved goodbye as they walked out the gates.
(Y/N) "Gave that dream up ever since my folks kissed the dirt."
(Eula) "Wait a second, where are you going?"
(Y/N) "To sleep."
(Eula) "But where?"
(Y/N) "Under a tree."
(Eula) "Not in a house?-"
(Y/N) "Are you going to be asking questions all night?"
(Eula) "…I can't just let you sleep somewhere so…barbaric."
(Y/N) "I sincerely doubt you want my gross ass on your noble couch."
…They weren't entirely wrong but-
(Eula) "At least for tonight. As thanks."
(Y/N) "I don't need thanks. I just need some sleep, and some more beer."
Eula looked down and realized she still had the drink.
(Eula) "Then how about we share?"
This caught their attention as they spun around at an honestly alarming speed, considering they were most likely drunk this second.
(Y/N) "…Okay, fine. You win. Now give me that."
Eula yanked it back before they could grab it. She smirked a little.
(Eula) "Share, Belmont. We're sharing."
(Y/N) "Bagh…"
They muttered something under their breath as they followed Eula her house.
(Eula) "Make yourself at home."
(Y/N) "Mug, Lawrence. Now."
She rolled her eyes and she gave them a mug and poured their half.
As soon as she was done, they yanked the mug and chugged it down in a matter of seconds.
(Y/N) "Ah, now that is a gift from Barbatos. You don't got anymore do ya?"
(Eula) "I'm afraid that was all I got."
(Y/N) "Shit, knew I shouldn't have smashed my damn mug…"
(Eula) "Thank you for that. Really. That's the first time a stranger has ever stood up for me."
(Y/N) looked surprised before clearing their throat.
(Y/N) "It's nothing."
(Eula) "…Before you go to bed, could you kindly take a bath? You admittedly do have a bit of a stench."
(Y/N) "Course I do, I've been sleeping in fuckin' nature all the time!"
(Eula) "So can you go?"
(Y/N) "…Dunno why I'm arguing against clean water, god I really am drunk."
They went into bathroom as told, making Eula worried.
Eula at least had Amber, Jean, and Master Varkas vouch for her.
The fact she had never even heard mention of them until now…
…
The next morning, Eula woke up and called out to Y/N.
(Eula) "Hey, Belmont. Are you awake?"
No response.
(Eula) "Belmont?"
After going downstairs, the room was empty.
The blanket she gave them was neatly folded on the couch, alongside a pouch of gold and a small note.
Thanks for letting me crash, Lawrence. Don't worry, the filthy Belmont didn't steal anything. You didn't have any alcohol for me to grab anyway. I checked the pantry and everything.
Here's something to pay you back for the trouble I caused. I don't know what you do but we'll probably see each other again.
Keep yourself safe, you hear?
(Y/N)
(Eula) "That idiot! I swear I'm going to enact my vengeance on them!…Huh. That doesn't sound like a bad phrase, actually.
===
Eula asked Amber if she knew (Y/N) when they met up.
Amber said that she had only seen them, but successfully managed to evade her everytime she called out to them.
She did know the location of where they seemed to frequent, which was near Starfell Valley.
So, Eula decided to perform her reconnaissance duty there.
Eula stealthily traversed the hills as she scouted the area for any potential threats.
Finally after three weeks of their first meeting, she found the Belmont again, walking the trail to Mondstadt.
She was going to call out their name before realizing something was moving in the trees.
A group of Treasure Hoarders came out to attack them, prompting Eula to move quickly to their location.
(Treasure Hoarder) "Hah, another Test Subj-"
(Y/N) spun around quickly, dropping their cape and a chained whip came flying out, hitting them square in the chest.
The whip suddenly ignited and exploded, sending the bandits flying back hitting stones, landing in the water, and some into each other.
The bandit who was originally hit couldn't be seen anymore, shocking Eula.
(Y/N) "Great. Now I'm sober."
Twirling their whip rapidly, (Y/N) spun around using the whip's length to attack in a circular motion, causing everyone to back up.
With one flick of their wrist, the chain went flying upwards before (Y/N) swung their arm down, causing it to land on top of another Treasure Hoarder making them explode.
When Eula finally approached them, she saw a small pyro vision dangling off the hilt of their whip.
(Eula) "BELMONT!"
(Y/N) quickly reacted and got the whip away from the direction of her voice as she came crashing down with her greatsword, breaking parts of the ground and causing some of the Treasure Hoarders to fly up.
They used the whip to fling it upwards hitting the left one, exploding and sending the bandit on the right to fly off behind a hill.
(Treasure Hoarder) "Damn it, picked the wrong subjects, LET'S GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!"
Seeing them run, (Y/N) turned to Eula with a smile.
(Y/N) "Lawrence, good to see you. Coulda handled that myself, you know."
(Eula) "I do not doubt that. Your skills with that whip is incredible!"
(Y/N) "I know right, it's a thing of beauty! 'The Morning Star' is what this baby is called, it was a family relic. It could make monsters explode in a single hit without the Vision!"
She saw the excitement in their eyes talking about the weapon. They probably haven't had the chance to brag about it in a long time.
(Eula) "Impressive. Though, what are you doing out here?"
(Y/N) "Just fulfilling a contract. Getting my pay for hunting down a couple Hilichurls bothering folks out here."
He held out a few broken masks.
(Y/N) "See?"
(Eula) "You're acting as a Mercenary? Why don't you come and work for the Knights of Favonius?"
(Y/N) "Psh, please. I'm not working with a bunch of goody two shoes. They take too long to get anything done."
(Eula) "Ugh, you're sounding like Diluc."
(Y/N) "Hey, he's got the right idea. So what are you doing-…Ah shit, you're a Knight aren't you?"
(Eula) "I am. Is that a bad thing?"
(Y/N) "Depends. You about to lecture me?"
(Eula) "As a Knight? No. But as Eula? I will. Why did you leave without saying anything?!"
(Y/N) "What are you- Oh right. Didn't want you bothering me that's all."
They walked past her again, making her angry.
(Eula) "Is that seriously the only reason, Belmont?!"
(Y/N) "…" sigh "I know what you're trying to do. I get it."
They turned to face her, that casual expression they had suddenly vanished.
(Y/N) "You want me to come with so people don't judge us based on our last names alone. But I'm done with that. The Belmont's are gone. I'm the only one left. There's no point."
(Eula) "What do you mean there's no point? You're still alive aren't you?"
(Y/N) "If you can call this being alive, sure Lawrence."
(Eula) "I'm not asking you to suddenly like the city of Mondstadt. But it has good people worth protecting. At the very least, you shouldn't do it alone."
(Y/N) "What makes you think I'm pro-"
(Eula) "What would a descendant from house Belmont be doing in Mondstadt if they weren't fighting to protect the city, just as their family once did? You had every opportunity to leave, but you're still here."
(Y/N) "…"
Eula walked up to them and held out a hand.
(Eula) "Besides, wouldn't it be fun to show these jackasses that a Belmont and Lawrence are working together for the sake of Mondstadt? At the very least it might cause some of them to have a mental breakdown."
(Y/N) didn't say anything before smiling.
(Y/N) "Know what? That does sound fun."
They grabbed her hand and shook it hard.
(Y/N) "I'm not working with the Knights, but working with you sounds good to me, Eula."
Eula smiled upon hearing her name.
(Eula) "Likwise, (Y/N)."
The two walked side by side, back towards the city.
===
Several years had passed and their relationship had grown even stronger.
Though (Y/N) was constantly asked to join the Knights of Favonius, they refused, instead always being with Eula.
The two had been living together, and Eula was only somewhat successful in trying to stop (Y/N) from getting shitfaced every single night.
When it came to her 'vengeance' talk, (Y/N) found it amusing, at that point she had also come to stop caring about the reputation of her name.
At this point, (Y/N) had finally met Amber, but found her a bit too energetic for their liking.
Eula had fallen for (Y/N) a while back, and was working the courage up to actually say something.
It was thanks to the Traveler and Paimon, Eula finally got the courage to tell (Y/N).
===
(Y/N) yawned as they walked towards the trail of Windrise, noting the big tree.
(Y/N) "Ah, hello old friend."
(Eula) "What, going to play in it again?"
(Y/N) "Hmph, I might. This where you wanted to talk."
Eula took a deep breath and nodded.
(Eula) "It is."
The two sat down by the tree and looked up at the night skies, the stars glistening with the moonlight.
(Y/N) "Hm. It's a bit cold."
(Eula) "I like it personally."
(Y/N) "…You're blushing."
Normally, Eula would try to deny it or get extremely flustered.
Yet, she didn't do either. Instead she smiled. Eula knew (Y/N) could read her like an open book, so there was no point in hiding it.
(Eula) "Yes, I am…Do you know why I asked you here?"
(Y/N) "If I had to guess why you asked me to come to the single most romantic spot on a beautiful night…-"
(Y/N) opened their cape and motioned towards them.
Eula looked at them and smiled, getting closer and sitting comfortably with them, grabbing her knees.
(Y/N) "This is why."
(Eula) "You knew, didn't you?"
(Y/N) "Have for at least a little bit now, actually."
(Eula) "And you didn't say anything because?"
(Y/N) "…I was scared. Scared that you actually fell for an idiot like me. All I do is drink beer, scream, and hunt monsters. I'm not exactly what you call someone 'stable'."
(Eula) "And swear. Don't forget that part."
(Y/N) "Oh, definitely swearing."
(Eula) "I was afraid you wouldn't love someone so vicious as a Lawrence, swearing vengeance upon the townspeople and who steals a poor man's beer every night."
The two laughed softly as their heads slowly fell closer together.
(Y/N) "How could I not?"
Eula hummed contently as their hands wrapped around each others.
(Eula) "…You won't go anywhere, right?"
(Y/N) "I go where you go, Eula. Now, and always."
(Eula) "Then I swear eternal vengeance upon you by giving you the best life I can."
(Y/N) "I'm looking forward to it."
Jean was pleasantly surprised to see Eula had befriended the infamous Belmont.
While she held no personal grudge against them, S/O's reputation was similar to Eula's where they met prejudice wherever they went.
She did everything in her power to protect them, but their foul language and alcohol addiction did little to stem the issue.
Jean always lectured them, much to S/O's dismay but they knew it came out of a place for worry.
It wasn't until Jean personally asked them to join the Knights that finally got them to start behaving a bit more, if anything to stop worrying her.
But it led to patrols reporting less monsters were on the roads, and Jean knew it could only mean one thing.
Late at nights when Jean was still working to the bone, it would be S/O who came in to help her finally get some rest.
(S/O) "Come on, if you take away my beer, I can take away your work."
(Jean) "S/O, one is significantly worse than the other when it comes to overindulging yourself in it."
(S/O) "Yeah, you can't even drink paper."
(Jean) "You know that's not what I-"
(S/O) "Don't have a stick up your ass, let's just get yours in bed!"
(Jean) "Excuse me?"
(S/O) "W-Well, I mean you don't have a stick I just-…Er…"
…
(S/O) "And that Barbara, is why I need your help."
(Barbara) "You're not very-"
(S/O) "Good at talking to your big sis? No. No I am not."
Jean does find them endearing however, and admittedly began to fall for them.
How she fell for someone so rude? She honestly doesn't know entirely herself.
Barbara has to be the one helping them the entire time, because Jean is shy and S/O is incompetent when talking to people.
Lisa knew better than to judge a book by it's cover.
But she did honestly have a very rough impression of S/O.
They had come into the library smelling like piss and beer, and they were about to get their filthy hands all over her books.
(S/O) "Sorry, this the bathroom?"
(Lisa) "…Are you looking for Eula, Sir/Miss Belmont?"
(S/O) "K-Kinda. Said to meet her here but I needed to wash myself first."
(Lisa) "Well, at least you know that. Third door, on the right when you get out."
(S/O) "Thanks purple lady."
They stumbled out the door, making her sigh in relief.
They'd be cuter if they weren't reeking of dirt.
Later on when they were actually sober (mostly), they came in to apologize, this time being clean much to her relief.
(Lisa) "Ah, you look far more handsome/pretty without all that grime covering it up!"
(S/O) "Er, r-right. Anyways, I came in to rent a book from your forbidden section."
Lisa's eye was twitching now.
(Lisa) "Excuse me?"
…
Lisa smiled fondly on those memories. She actually went out to a monster hunt with Eula and S/O. It was admittedly fun.
It was also how Lisa got to know how much a softie S/O actually was.
There was a kitten that was almost crushed by a Ruin Guard, yet S/O rushed in to save them, which caused her heart to melt.
She still teases them about it, and recalls that the moment she began liking S/O truly.
(S/O) "How many people have you told that story?!"
(Lisa) "How many beers have you drank in your life?"
Lumine first met S/O when she, Paimon, and Eula were stopping Eula's uncle teaming with the Fatui to attack Mondstadt.
But it was when they went to Angel's Share to drink with Eula is when they truly spoke.
(S/O) "Ah, you're the Honorary Knight. Must be a pain in the ass."
(Paimon) "Jeez, you stink!"
(Eula) "You get used to it."
(Lumine) "Honestly they could smell worse considering how they look."
(S/O) "Psh, you try hunting monsters and smell good at the same time."
With how vulgar and different S/O was from Eula, Lumine only wanted to get to know them more.
It was after seeing Lumine in action that S/O began to take true notice of her other than a friend of Eula's.
Lumine frequently talked to S/O and actually brought them along for many commissions, asking them for advice on what monster or enemy they had the most efficient plan on.
Then, Lumine became their apprentice, to keep the Belmont knowledge alive.
And it was then S/O began to feel more of a connection with Lumine, even going along with commissions they didn't like.
But, love does that to someone.
(Girl) "…And that's why I need you to fight four Ruin Guards to get these delicious eggs!"
(Paimon) "…Seriously?"
S/O tried their best to look away to not get roped into the stupidest hunt they've ever taken.
Lumine looked at them with a bright smile.
(S/O) "…I'm not looking at you, Lumine.."
(Lumine) "You're going to!~"
(S/O) "I won't."
(Lumine) "You like looking at me!"
(S/O) "Still not looking."
(Lumine) "You're going to, and when you do, you'll crack like an egg!"
(S/O) "…"
…
(Eula) "I can't believe you actually made S/O hunt four Ruin Guards for an egg-"
(S/O) "Lawrence. Shut. Up."
(Paimon) "I know right? They're SO soft for-"
(S/O) "EAT SHIT AND DIE, PAIMON."
(Lumine) "They're so soft for me!"
(S/O) sigh "…That I am, dear."
(Paimon) "H-HEY!"
Chapter 23? Perhaps posted in a reasonable time? Ayo?👀 also, guess who forgot to do a recap last time. I'll fix that eventually.
Guide!Au is a SAGAU inspired idea where the Player, instead of being seen as a creator, is seen as the only outworlder god who cares for Teyvat.

○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○
In the last chapter, [Name] woke up from their rest and looked over their room, not long later they heard whispers floating through the wind and Paimon explained the 'comprehend languages' setting allowed them to hear the wind. [Name] was stressed and simply decided to fall asleep, waking up within their serenitea pot.
They're unsure on if it's a dream or not but we'll find out.
"Hello. Who's back?" A voice rang from the top of the stairs and [Name] shrugged. Speak of the devil they supposed.
[Name] went silent for a moment, now petting the animal and scratching its sides. They realized they should likely give the pet a name, if the inhabitants of their tea house had yet to do so that was.
Might as well face whoever lived in the tea pot.
○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○
The wooden stairs of the building and second level of the building blocked their view of the individual, so with a sigh they stood up and gave the dog one last pat on the head.
They felt their bones click back into place and took a moment to pop their bones, the click echoing through the empty hall made [Name] wince, especially as the voice from above them spoke again "Who is down there? Are you Alright?"
[Name] let out a groan and stepped closer to the staircase, getting close enough to look up and meet absolutely gorgeous red eyes.
The red eyes widen and [Name] gave him a slight smile. Kazuha wasn't exactly a character [Name] used often but his design was absolutely gorgeous. His hair looked even better in person, it appeared incredibly soft and fell across his face perfectly.
However, [Name] wasn't a simp so all they responded to his stunned face with was a small wave. "Good evening Kazuha. I hope you're doing well."
Kazuha stiffened and straightened up before giving his own form a hello. "Hello there. I'm not sure we've met. I apologize for my shock, I wasn't expecting a new vessel, after all, Their Grace hasn't been calling for anyone in a while."
[Name] paused for a second. "Excuse me? Vessel?"
Kazuha raised an eyebrow. "Yes? Ah, are you from the new nation that The Guide visited? What was it… Sumeru?"
[Name] chuckled, a vague idea of the source of the confusion between the two. Each character who had seen them so far had been told they were some sort of God, Kazuha had no such misconceptions.
It wouldn't hurt anyone to lie? Right?
With a smile, they nodded. "I think so? The best way to describe it is that I was summoned."
Kazuha nodded. "You and I are alike in that case. I haven't spoken with them in quite some time, they gave me access to this place but I don't think I've ever even seen them…"
[Name] took a second, guilt flooding their mind. That was what they did, wasn't it? It was a passive way to raise friendship with characters they thought were interesting to see their story, however they had never truly spoken to most of those within their Teapot… except for Xiao. Speaking of which, where is their baby?
"I see. Are there many other people around here?"
Kazuha smiled warmly, taking a step down the stairs. "Please, come on up. Surely it isn't comfortable down there and everyone else are within their rooms."
[Name] thanked him and placing their foot on the first step, nodding towards the dog to invite the animal along.
Kazuha spoke up, "The Guide has placed him downstairs. I don't believe he can-" His words trailed off as the dog followed [Name] up the stairs.
"So," [Name] began "Do they have a name? The dog that is."
The Inazuman replied after a moment. "Most of us call him Post."
"Post? Where'd that name come from?"
Kazuha shrugged. "Well, he looks out for us. So we have Post, and there are two other dogs as well, one is upstairs and her name is Fence, the last one hangs out around the Adeptus's room and we call him Warden." As he listed out the names, he counted them on his fingers and paused at the end. "Though I suppose you could count The Adeptus as a guard dog himself."
[Name] chuckled, guessing he was likely referring to Xiao. "The Adeptus, huh?"
"That's what we call him. Saying his name gets his attention and he can be a bit much so I think you might want to meet the others first."
After being reminded that there were in fact others, [Name] nodded in response to end the topic and thought about their Teapot. Who all lived here again? Kazuha, Xiao… Thoma was one and who were the other two? Ah, right, Barbara and Yanfei. Oh, just the thought of the last two made [Name] feel a hint of guilt. Both had been on their team in the past and concern for their current social standing caused [Name] a spike in anxiety.
"You said the others here were in their rooms? Is everyone living here present at all times?"
Kazuha laughed. "Oh goodness no, we can go home if we so choose, we simply enjoy having an untouchable space to ourselves. Right now it's simply Thoma and I. Miss Yanfei had a meeting, The Adeptus prefers not to remain here much, and Deaconess Barbara is often rather busy."
"I see." [Name] was hoping Barbara wouldn't be free for quite some time in that case. The last thing they needed was the poor girl telling everyone that they were a god, like her older sister had.
Perhaps Yanfei on the other hand wouldn't be a bad idea. She was a lawyer, maybe she had some advice? [Name]'s face soured at the thought of the potential price tag to some legal consultation and shook their head.
"Are you alright?" Kazuha's voice drew [Name] back to the present and [Name] nodded.
"I'm good. Just confused on my situation."
"I'll do my best to spread some light on it then. Have you recently come in contact with a blonde traveler by the name of Aether?"
Well, technically yes, [Name] thought to themself and so they nodded in affirmation.
Taking that response, Kazuha continued "Yes well, I'm sure you've experienced pieces of The Guide's influence in that case. They travel with Aether, influencing his decisions and actions. They likely decided you were pleasant and wanted to be able to Guide you as well."
"The Guide seems like… a major pain if you ask me."
Kazuha muffled his laugh and raised an eyebrow. "And what inspires that impression?"
[Name] huffed. "Well think about it, you meet this person once and then they decide 'oh you! I like you!' And flip your entire life upside down! Think about it, you don't really get a choice in the matter, you just get dragged along like a puppet on a string, dancing and fighting. No choice in what you do and only at The Guide's beck and call." With a sharp pain of realization, [Name] faced the fact that they were in fact The Guide, and that they had indeed done such. Forced people into a life they likely did not wish for. Changed everything about they way the lived. Could they ever play the game again with this knowledge?
Kazuha, leaning against the railing at the top of the staircase, looked around and nodded slowly. "I suppose you have a point, you and Xingqiu might get along… why did you accept their call then?"
"... What?"
"Their call. Them calling your name from the stars, why did you accept it?" Kazuha paused and then got real quiet, a pitying look making it's way onto his face. "Did it make you?"
People could deny the call? "I-... What do you by it?"
Kazuha straighted his back and inhaled deeply. "Don't worry. Why don't why continue on? I'm sure Thoma would love to meet you."
[Name] paused. "No, I… I think I need to be heading home."
"Fair enough. Go ahead and speak to Tubby then, I'm sure I'll see you again and we can talk in greater detail."
[Name] leaned down to pet the dog who still remained at their side. "You be good, keep Kazuha company okay?"
A bark rang out in the room and [Name]'s face paled as the bark sounded less like a bark and more like "Absolutely! Stay safe!"
They stood up tall and waved a farewell to Kazuha, quickly descending back down the stairs and out the door.
Tubby gave their troubled face one look and with a sigh, [Name] found their world going black.
As their world came back into color, [Name] once more found themselves laying on their bed in Mondstadt, the sun shining through the window and into their eyes.
[Name] released a loud groan. Was that another effect of the comprehend languages setting?!
____________________________________
As [Name] returned to their place in Mondstadt, Kazuha had a pressing question plaguing his mind. How did they know his name? Especially when they never even gave him theirs.
○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○
… Don't like this one, oh well.
If you didn't understand how this all went down/why. It'll be explained eventually but what I can say now is that there will be a lot more fun travel scenes whenever [Name] sleeps.
Tag list! Closed for the foreseeable future.

I LOVE YOUR LAST WANDERER FIC
What do you think his reaction is like after we named him? Like the difference between naming him seriously and ridiculously (I saw people name him babygirl on tiktok which okay points for that lmao)
Aww thanks shshsahsgs
❥ Naming him seriously
If you name him seriously like naming him with meanings he'd do his best to honor it if he can find the meaning of the name.
If you name him in Japanese he's a bit conflicted as it serves as a reminder about his roots and origins and will think that you're purposely reminding him about his past while giving a new name
But he's still proud of the name and would definitely purposely brag that you were the one who name him like
Wanderer: Hello, my name is (name). Did you know that it was Your Grace that gave me the name? It means (meaning)
Don't tell me he wouldn't in sagau look me in the eyes and tell me he wouldn't brag
❥ Naming him ridiculously
Now if you name him ridiculously...
Yeah he'll definitely think it's punishment. I mean it's still a name that you gave him and he'll cherish it sure
He'd introduce himself as a Wanderer first and he'll only say his new name if pushed. If they laugh he'll just say,
Wanderer: Oh it's Your Grace that named me.
That would cease the laughter and go on about praising your naming sense and whatnot
❥ Conclusion
He'd cherish whatever name you give him and would keep it but he's prouder about his name if you name him seriously
my fyp is full of soukoku and I'm here for it
More parent headcanons with Dehya and Beidou?
Genre: Fluff
Characters: Dehya & Beidou Xi
A/N: Since Dehya has not been released officially yet, I'll use the Sumeru namecard for her. For the same reason, she might be ooc.
Enjoy!
Dehya
The thought of being a parent caught her by complete surprise.
One evening, you were resting after a difficult job. After you patched up all the wounds, you quickly fell asleep and Dehya was left tracing circles on your stomach, staring up at the starry night sky.
Her mind wandered from one memory to another. Images of her childhood and her mother got her thinking. What would it be like to be a mother?
She found the idea laughable at first. A mercenary mother?
Dehya often looked at her hands and wondered - could these hands, the same ones that rip open throats on a daily basis, hold something so defenseless and precious?
The lion mane didn't think she was right for the job. The only thing she had been doing for years was kill. Hurt, cut and maim for the glittering Mora. Is she still even capable of love?
Dehya will reject the idea for weeks, months. But her mind won't let it go. She'll subconsciously pay more attention to any children she'll see, imagining herself as their caretaker.
After much consideration, she'll work up the courage to ask you.
"Do you think I would be... a good mother?"
After hearing your reassurance that she indeed would be, Dehya will reveal her recent worries to you in full.
She will sit down with you and discuss everything relating to your child. When you come to an agreement and make preparations, Dehya will arrange an entire free day for the making-of process. Just to make sure that you go through without any unnecessary hold-ups.
Dehya always imagined herself as the mother to a single child, a son to be precise. Having a male heir would ease a lot of her worries about their safety. In the desert, a lone woman, of any age really, is in more danger than any man. Also, her son would naturally be stronger, and have an easier time defending himself.
For the time of the pregnancy, Dehya will move with you to Aaru village. It's safe, but still close to her work. She won't go out for field work, obviously, but will gladly do other things to still earn money. It will be far easier if you keep doing jobs - you'll remain in the job market, and there can never be enough Mora.
Candace will gladly host her friend, and help her along the way. As the village caretaker, the woman has had lots of experience with children. She will makes sure that Dehya eats healthy foods, doesn't push herself and stay away from alcohol and other drugs. Candace will keep her company when you're away as well.
Childbirth and the early days of care will be small beans for Candace, who will teach Dehya how it should be done.
The lion mane will get softer after becoming a parent. If you get yourself injured more severely, you'll get a scolding you wouldn't expect from a fellow mercenary.
Dehya will assume a more off-field role within the Eremites - thanks to her fame, getting good contracts and long-term deals will be much easier. It also means she's in no direct danger of getting killed.
She'll bother you to do so as well, but if you don't... Well, it's your choice. She'll just ask you to stay safe, as her kid needs a father as well.
Dehya will make sure to arrange lots of quality time, all three of you involved. She really wants to make sure that her son will get all the love he deserves, from both sides, and grow out of a healthy, loving home.
She will make sure her child gets an education, and will pay for any dictionaries he might need. If her son wants to pursue a degree in the Akademiya, she'll help out financially as well. Mercenary work doesn't exactly pay little.
Despite having piles of money, Dehya won't spoil her child. Sure, she will give them plenty of gifts and toys she couldn't have in his age, but not that often.
Dehya is the perfect mix between strict and lenient. If not for Candace, she would be pretty demanding.
Yes, Candace plays an important role here. She will do her best to keep Dehya and her child safe. And also, she would never miss an opportunity to care for a child, especially of someone this close to her. She really wants her own heirs, but Candace hasn't found the right man yet.
Dehya won't give up fighting. Not at all, in fact - she'll help Candace clear out any monsters, Fatui or bandits that may come close to Aaru.
Her child will get plenty of fighting exercise as well, but with no actual killing involved - whether it be scorpions or Hilichurls.
Dehya is well aware that her way of life isn't exactly a good example for her son. She will make sure he doesn't pursue the same path of bloodshed - that would put him not only at a huge risk of death, but could lead to them being on the opposite sides.
Dehya cares a lot, and doesn't hesitate to show it. She will fight and die for her child if she needs to. With you by her side and Candace as back-up, your son will have a good entry to life. 9/10.
Beidou Xi
Beidou lives for adventure, be it exploring open seas, fighting legendary monsters or hanging out with you.
And parenthood is an adventure and a half for sure.
Beidou always wanted to leave something behind her, and someone to continue her legacy.
When Beidou wants something, she'll get it.
Don't mind her - she'll borrow you and a small barrel of wine for her quarters. Expect a long night ahead.
Beidou is not one to engage in combat very often (despite her nature), but being pregnant will make her life harder.
Mainly because she can't drink. She could, but it would harm her children, which is not what she wants.
Once she stops breastfeeding, though, she's going all in on any important occasion.
Seeing her sober on birthdays or festivals after her kids go to bed is quite rare. Beidou will do her best (and would like you to help) to get her senses back before they wake up again, or at least stay out of sight.
She has the responsibility to avoid appearing drunk in front of her children. Until they're of age, at least.
Getting completely wasted at her heir's eighteenth birthday part with you is something that's been in her head since forever.
The ship is not the best place for keeping infants around, so for the early days she will remain in Liyue Harbor or close to shore.
She's really struggling to sit in one place for longer periods of time, on the account of her traveling and adventurous lifestyle.
Beidou is really glad that both the stationary living and abstinence will last only about a year.
Especially that Beidou is lacking in the whole 'parental patience' department. Sure, she loves active, quality time with her little one, but the gaps in between? Well...
She might have defeated Haishan, but a bratty, or just toddler-y toddler is too much.
That will lead to her whining about it whenever you're around, not-so-subtly wanting you to take over.
And what else would a loving husband do in the face of such a request?
Yep, you'll end up being the real caretaker here, while the captain enjoys all of the fun parts, like going out to play. Or sparring.
She will teach her little one to fight, and with real opponents - slimes - once they're ready. Not only is that a practical way of bonding, but also a great way to exercise.
As much as she would like to have a merry band of youngsters running around the ship, Beidou isn't that keen on the whole waiting part. So one kid it is.
And a male, if you'd ask her. Beidou thinks that it will be just easier for him to adapt to the ship and find his place among its crew.
Don't worry though - the little one will have lots of company.
Kazuha will hang out with the kid most often, singing songs and lifting the youngling into the air with his Anemo Vision.
Who knows - if no fitting owner will be found for his Vision shell, the kid will get it - unless they'll get their own.
With a woman as great as his mother to look up to? He'll most likely gain an ambition to follow in her footsteps, and your wife will gladly push him in that direction. If he'll have any other plans, she's fine with it.
Xiangling and Guoba will be the best babysitters to leave Beidou's child with. But not too often - Xiangling will make sure she gives him back with a full stomach. And Guoba? He's essentially a living teddy bear, so there's nothing to add.
Ningguang will be honestly surprised by Beidou's decision. She will surely gain another level of respect for her associate.
Venti will keep a close eye on the kid especially if he has any dead friends.
Beidou, while not having everything it takes to be a parent, will put her strength and effort into raising a worthy successor to her. Or just a strong and independent individual. 7/10.
Thanks for reading!
Hi guys, just a quick update about how the requests are going. I have six left in the inbox as of now, with an equal split between fluff and smut. Next post will be parent headcanons with Keqing and Eula.
I didn't really have time to sit down and write recently, as I got a lot of assignments from school. But don't worry - I didn't forget about your requests.
