Eh, I’ll Write It As Soon As I Can Type Once Instead Of Ounce. (Which Might Be A Month Tbh).

Ficlet Masterlist!~

(It’s about time I made one of these honestly. These are ordered from oldest to most recent so apologies for the changing styles, I was trying to find what format best worked for me. It’s a process so I’d appreciate any tips and tricks~ Enjoy anyways!~)

Traveler is a space orc

Since in the voiceline conversations from the traveler talking to Paimon agknowlages the fact the traveler’s sword can float behind them, I started getting creative with the game mechanics being part of their power. (I’m using Aether for these since I play him in game, but can also be applied to Lumine).

- Aether has the ability to gain other people’s forms and thus their powers. He doesn’t use this ability in front of anyone besides Paimon or Hillichurls because he’s keeping it as a secret ace card in case he’s in a tight spot.

- He sometimes will go out in other people’s forms just to be discreet, but that can cause even more confusion sometimes. Amber swears up and down she saw Klee gliding down into stormterror’s lair while Diluc will never let the fact go that he saw Kaeya messing with the frost slimes around dawn winery. Aether tries his best to sneak around, but at least ten people saw Diona climbing the windmill to get to a chest. Thank god nobody can link it back to him.

- He gains these forms by collecting primo gems, small but ultimately useless trinkets which people trade around for fun. People have started noticing he’s seemingly hoarding them for some reason. Paimon figures out he can be bribed with large amounts of primogems and told Kaeya, who abused this information. What he’s really doing is taking them up to star snatch cliff to wish for new forms and weapons.

- Speaking of weapons, every single one of his forms needs it’s own weapon. Aether tries his best to get the materials himself, but Sucrose has been questioning weather or not he’s planning on becoming a weaponsmith because he has so many powerful weapons yet only uses one. There’s only so many time he can say he need stuff for weapon upgrades before it starts sounding suspicious.

- Has the ability to zone out, anywhere, for hours at a time. He’ll literally just stand in one place, blank stared, for hours upon hours, without response. He did this once in the middle of the knight’s headquarters, and snapped back into place with 3 guards, Kaeya, Amber, and Barbara trying to get him into the medical bay. Considering he wasn’t moving- barely even blinking, they assumed nothing short of a stroke.

- Doesn’t eat or sleep for days on end. Everyone assumes he camps out in the woods but no, Aether doesn’t stop the grind. He’s always fighting bosses, chest hunting, or even just helping a girl successfully communicate with hillichurls. The only reason he stops is so Paimon can sleep, even then he mostly just sorts out which artifacts need to go to which form.

- Clothes that somehow always stay perfect? Nobody’s ever seen him in anything else, dispite him being in teyvat for over a month. Dispite the amount of fighting, there’s no holes, no burns- hell they don’t ever even get soggy.

- Always prefers climbing to stairs. It baffles everyone to no end to see Aether just climbing up the side of a perfectly useable set of stairs. After a few weeks of this, both Jean and Keaya tried to talk to him about it, nope. His response is always “but climbing is faster” and any other reasoning is obsolete. Everyone’s noticed Aether seems to be a bit of a wall crawler, he never goes anywhere without running and always climbs anything even remotely vertical.

- Stories are starting to go around about this golden haired traveler who sticks out in any crowd. Of course people are gonna talk about the guy who not only helped save both Liyue and Mondstat, but is also so nice they’ll help anyone out with anything. If Aether sees so much as a person tripped over a loose floorboard, he’ll help them to the doctor and see to it the floor is fixed by the end of the day.

- Eats Mid-battle. To Aether, food doesn’t serve any other purpose than healing, which food he eats will also give him different statuses. Some make him more durable and harder to break skin, some make him stronger, others give him more stamina. During their fight in the golden house, Childe was so confused to see Aether shove 4 whole jade parcels in his mouth and then it was all over from there.

- Teleportation. Aether doesn’t know how nobody’s noticed the “fancy red statues” turn blue whenever he gets there, but he’s glad. He was a little nervous though, seeing Albedo examining them in an attempt to figure out why all the statues across teyvat were suddenly active, and what they even did. Nobody thinks he can teleport per say, but they do notice he’s nearly everywhere at once. Some people have started joking that he’s a second Noelle.

- Speaking of everywhere at once, (for multiplayer fun) Aether can split himself into 4 forms. And then those 4 forms can each have 3 separate other forms to switch between. It makes bosses very easy, sometimes he’ll have one running errands while the other’s do stuff and help people. Some question how he gets so many rare materials in such short amounts of time, but all of it is chalked up to him being good at fighting. He’s really glad Liyue and Mondstat aren’t in close contact though, because if the people he knew crossrecorded the times they were with him, they’d began to realize he’s sometimes in two places at once.

Me, after 8 hours of sleep and fully decided on writing a new story: Alright! Time to get started!

(Proceeds to type ounce instead of once)

My reaction wasn’t quite “what are those” it was more like “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT”

Alya's post!

"Literalmente nunca antes había notadonlas zapatillas de Luka!"

"El obligatorio " Que son esos" de Nino, es por eso que necesita un Instagram, sus memes están tan fuera de fecha"

I love Luka's kicks!

Me: *sees this*

Me: Guess who just found their new iPad background-

some happy boyfriends for these trying times!

Link, coming back from the gerudo desert: If I had a rupee for every time I had to rescue a gerudo from heat exhaustion by giving them something they were craving, I’d have two rupees. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Revalink prompt - Mute Revali

- Okay so, I’ve read a bundle of stories where Revali learned minor signing in order to communicate with Link better, but it got me thinking about Revalink sign conversations and all of a sudden I just sat up and thought “What If Revali got turned mute?”

- Like an incident just took his voice away for a few weeks (or better yet, his voice gets stolen by Astor and he’s gotta track that bitch down to get it back)

- and Revali would be crushed because he can’t be silent, he gotta talk and boast and be the thespian he was always meant to be! How will anyone know how great he is without him reminding them all the time? There’s gonna be moments when he opens his mouth trying to talk and just suddenly... can’t. And things he does and wants to say just get skipped over because of it.

- At first he tries to ignore it, but by day 3 literally everyone can see that he’s going insane just because of the issues it’s causing. First little stuff to piss him off. Like the Innkeeper couldn’t understand him saying he wants to be waken in the morning and Revali wakes up at noon pissed.

- But eventually dangerous miscommunications start happening. Revali was told to scout ahead, and now couldn’t properly convey there was a frost talus heading for them so the gotta mOVE NOW!

- And the best part? He always mocked Link for being mute, and now he himself cannot talk. And now Link’s gotta teach him sign. Meaning he’s forced to make nice with the person he hates or else he doesn’t get any form of communication at all.

- Bonus points if only Link is fluent in sign and the other’s only know little tidbits, making Link the only person Revali can actually have conversations with. (Plus now they get to have secret conversations only they can understand).

- Revali suddenly has to spend all his time with Link because he’s the only one he can actually talk to. Though he hates having to swallow his pride and point to stuff to ask what the sign for it is.

- Revalink scenes galore

- plus they end up bonding over things like people assuming stuff and idiots not knowing sign just being irritating. Just being mute in general. Plus Revali eventually realizing how (not just degrading) but outright rude it is to assume you know everything about a person that doesn’t talk. And that sign is a actually really important language to know because the people that speak it are physically unable to commicate in any other way.

- Revali learning that- no, the silent knight is not dark and mysterious and thinks himself higher than everyone else, he just can’t speak and has a very neutral face even when impressed. Even better is when people assume Link and Revali are exchanging super secret information when they’re really just signing about how fucking humid the weather is down in Faron. (Humid weather make’s Revali’s feathers fluffy).

- Insert scene where Revali watches Zelda have a one-sided conversation with Link where she goes “I don’t need you hovering, I’m cabable of taking care of myself” When he was trying to tell her something helpful. Cue shocked Revali being like ‘does that seriously happen?’ and Link goes ‘All the time’. And Revali being appalled at the amount of assumed ill intent behind everything Link does.

- Tons of signing conversations

- Revali gets a couple months to see what it’s like to be in Link’s shoes, and realizes a lot both about himself and about Link. It’s the wake up call he needs.

- When Revali finally gets his voice back, he offers to be Link’s translator. They go everywhere together. They’ll still have signing conversations with each other too.

As a new author on ao3 still getting used to people reading my story (and actually liking them for some reason) I was prepared for a lot of things.

An animal crossing marriage proposal was not one of them.

The golden house fight, basically

Childe: You may have had the upper hand now, but I swear I will find out all your secrets. I look forward to defeating you, once and for all.

Traveler, internally: I was using like 4% of my full power and you still lost.
