Yandere!Varka // Cinderella!Darling

Yandere!Varka is no stranger to the festivals thrown in the city and nation of freedom, the nights of song, dance, and drink. Of course he is the protector of Mondstadt and Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius but he of course has time for a little fun.

It is when he was drinking along a few other knights that he caught a glimpse of a beautiful lady dancing among the crowd, dancing to the bard’s music and she wears the most beautiful dress and the heels that look like she is wearing glass. Then he sees another man approaches her and puts his hands on her, drunkenly trying to get her to spend the night with him. Something in the Grandmaster’s blood boils and he could not help but stand up and pull the man right off of her, telling him to run off if he still wants to keep his pride intact. He is playing the knight in shining armor the moment he meets his darling, literally.

He practically sweeps her off her feet the moment they meet, sticking to her side the rest of the night, dancing with her, talking, drinking. His eyes can never go far from her face, his heart pounding in his chest at every word she says.

Oh, she is just so precious…

His heart just can’t take it.

Then the bells at the cathedral strike midnight and no sooner did he meet his precious girl that she slips through his finger, disappearing as she runs off.

His darling’s life goes back to the way it was, her family was only in Mondstadt for a short time, her step mother a wealthy merchant, a colleague of Pantalone with the Northland Bank, and she got stuck in her step mother’s care after her father passed, traveling through the nations and more like an attendant or a servant to her step family during their travels. The dress and shoes she wore that night was meant for her stepsister, but another one the servants convinced her a bit of fun for one night would not hurt her, turns out it will.

Her step mother found out and due to it she has arranged for her to get married to a noble back In Snezhnaya upon their return, a cruel man who care little for her and more so for her family’s money and the promise of heirs.

Varka had almost lost all hope after that night of finding her again, but oh how his heart longed to see her again, if it was not for the expedition then he would set out and travel Teyvat till he found her again and carried her in his arms back to Mondstadt. Though it is because of the expedition that he finds her again. A cold day in Nod Krai, close to Snezhnaya proper, the knights are working with a few ratnik after an attack from the Wild Hunt. A few travelers are held up by the commotion, and that’s when he hears her voice again, apologizing non stop as a woman screams at her for dropping something that she wanted loaded into the carriage, throwing dirt in her face.

The joy he feels from seeing her again is quickly flushed away by the rage he felt in that moment.

He steps in front of her, hiding her behind him, letting himself he yelled at than her, hearing the vulgar words she is called. He looks at his darling with the most pain filled eyes, and in that moment he cannot stop himself from grabbing her by the hand and quite literally running away with her, picking her up in his strong arms as he takes her back to camp, ignoring her pleas for him to let her go, her fists pounding against his muscular back, her cries, this is all for the best, once she is away from them then she will see she has nothing to fear.

He holds her close to him, all wrapped up in a blanket back at camp, as she cries, his rough fingers brushing through her hair as he soothes her, or at least attempts to. She is so much safer now, can’t she understand? She was going to be married off to a total stranger who would have treated her like nothing more than livestock and Varka can only imagine what her step mother would do to her to make her fit her own definition of beautiful, her step sisters could barely walk because she cut off parts of their feet for the Anemo Archon’s sake!

Sure, he might have taken her against her will, but she has to understand that it is for the best, he would never hurt her, and it’s not like she will be locked up either, after all Mondstadt is the Nation of Freedom so she is always welcome to go wherever she is safe, nevermind the fact that she can never go anywhere where a knight cannot see her, she really should not worry about the little things like that. Maybe one day when they return to Mondstadt from the expedition they will have a wonderful wedding just like in the fairy tales.

Yandere!Lohen // Snow White!Darling

Yandere!Lohen is certainly no Prince Charming, not by any extent of the imagination, but his heart does skip a beat when he sees a sweet little thing buying herself something to eat out in the markets of the port. He knows he has never seen her before, after all he is quite good at keeping track of individuals. He watches his darling for a long time before approaching her, learning everything he can about her, even that bounty that was placed on her head by wealthy Fontainian who wants her dead. When he finally approaches her, he nearly scares the living daylights out of her with that cat like personality of his, acting like he knows everything about her already and he does. 

He will follow after her every time they meet, either with her knowing or not, always being her shadow. He will sit down at her table during dinner at a restaurant or sharpen his knife as she does her laundry across the courtyard. He cannot get enough of her cute little reactions with her scared face when she realizes he is watching her either from near or far. 

Though eventually all good things must come to an end when he hears that she plans to leave Mondstadt he can feel himself get sick, no that cannot happen. At first he will try the nice approach, come to her and ask her why and whatever reason she gives it is just not good enough, it will not do. He offers her to come stay with him, he will protect her and yet she still has the audacity to say no! 

Lohen feels like he is going mad when he watches her walk off, his heart pounding in his chest, adrenaline in his veins, he just can’t take it anymore. That night when she sets up her camp, he pulls the same trick he has done of a lot of knights before, using a needle covered in a sleeping drought to poison an apple she had in her pack while she was collecting firewood and hiding away when she comes back and he just waits patiently, or maybe not so patiently, for her to come back and settle down for the night, reaching for the food she packed and taking a bite out of that poisoned apple and he watches that apple bounce off the ground as she passes out, left all vulnerable and alone with him standing over her, catching her fall.

The thing is, he gave her quite the large dose so she will not be awake for quite some time, perfect for him to cover up his tracks as he takes her away to a small little cottage tucked away in the forests of Mondstadt, the perfect place to go chasing after prey so no one will hear her scream, and far from any patrols so no one will ever find her and disrupt her sleep like death until she comes to in Lohen’s arms, with him smiling down at her.

Yandere!Alice // Alice in Wonderland!Darling

Yandere!Alice is the cause of all her darling’s problems, having spotted her from her journeys outside of the world of Teyvat and thinking it would be such fun to see how she fared in Teyvat, dragging her through the false sky with her so that she wakes up half dazed in vast fields of Mondstadt or maybe perhaps Nod Krai, or maybe not and Alice would so dearly hate if her darling got hurt in all of her fun and games. 

As she makes her way through the world, trying to find a way home, Alice will watch her from afar and occasionally speak to her through her cutest little dodoco, protecting her from any actual harm, but eventually watching from afar gets too boring for her and she just can’t take it! She wants to see it all in person! 

So eventually her darling will find herself dealing with a scuffle and instead of some strange little accident coming to save her, Alice does instead, blowing them all up! Seeing her darling’s shocked little face is just too much for her to handle! She could eat her darling up right there! Luckily for her darling she is not that kind of witch.

Though something quickly clicked in her mind one night when she watching over her darling get ready for bed, seeing the bandages on her body from accidents on her journey, it makes Alice’s heart ache, like seeing a bird with a broken wing that wants to fly only to put itself through more pain, and things just get a lot less enjoyable for Alice. Though it’s not like she can let her go! No she cares for her darling too much to do that, it is like letting Klee go! No, that simply will not do.

So after much thought with Kleiner and the other witches of the Hexenzirkel she decides that perhaps Klee could use a big sister! She can set up a cute little room for her, a whole bunch of darling little dresses, and perhaps hats that match her own or Klee’s own hat! Though when she tells her darling this, the news does not go well, there is no reason for her to get angry at her like that! Alice is just trying to do what is best for everyone, and it is incredibly rude to yell at your mother in such vulgar tones!

Alice understands that her little girl has some rather big girl emotions she needs to deal with and calm down from so for right now she is going to have her drink a little something to make her small and Alice will have her stay in the little doll house she has set aside just for her, now isn’t that special? Her own little space for her to calm down but she can never go far with Alice’s eyes looking through the glass.
