#long!mc

Don’t worry, Bailu does exist in this au. She can be Yingxing and Dan F/Heng’s daughter. And yes to the Express having multiple Vidyadhara! They always travel in flights of three or more.

The Yoinking was upon Teyvat. There was no stopping Long!MC and their yoinking. No Dragon was safe.

This also includes the Melusines, Pashiv included all of whom were giggling as they were plopped into the nest... Furina was also yoinked, don't ask why-

Oh, and Durin! Durin was also yoinked! ...Along with Wanderer, possibly Albedo, oh and Nahida too.

Long!MC sadly refrains from yoinking Dvalin, as they respected Venti's claim- Oh never mind. Venti's already in the nest with Dvalin and he brought apples and wine-

And YES! The Yaksha LIVE! Actually, almost ALL the named and important Adepti LIVED and are now vibing in the nest, all the while going, "Oh so that's why their Lord was always so 'different'!".

And yeah, the Heavenly Principles are dead within seconds. Long!MC stopped caring about their disguise the moment They saw them move towards THEIR hatchling(s). THEY may have shattered the false sky beyond repair. (Qlipoth could rebuild it, but honestly they don’t want to.)

Make Neuvillette have a even bigger crisis when Long!MC, in his long Noodle form, just yoinks him, and places him in the middle of a nest along with a few of their harchlings that came to visit.

They saw a lonely dragon. That won't do at all! Dragons need companionship!

I see a few Vidyadhara definitely joining the Astral Express along with Dan F(H)eng, which also includes Yingxing and Bailu(please tell me she exists in this au, just created not like canon.).

(If, then I’d say it’s Dan F/Heng and the Astral Express that give it away. They crash or visit Teyvat and before anyone can do anything to them (Fatui, Celestia, Hexenzirkel, Abyss, whatever), Zhongli shows up and Dan F/Heng calls “him” his parent.)

~ 🐸-anon

While ywah, none of this would make sense lore wise, I too LOVE the idea of Long!MC and Qlipoth disguising themselves as 'Morax/Rex Lapis/Zhongli' and 'Azhdaha'. 😍

Gosh, I can already see Long!MC having adopted the Adepti (they may not be their kin, but they're THEIRS), and Qlipoth, lol, they reluctantly went along with Long!MC's idea of a vacation.

Though the idea of Qlipoth disguising themselve as a rock dragon was still a little strange, and Long!MC definitely laughed their noodly ass off watching their 'friend' walk around on 4 legs! 🤣

Oh, and the reactions. It would be glorious! These two beings are fucking overpowered as hell! And can you imagine Neuvillette's reaction to the 'Geo Usurper's' true identity? Like, a primordial god who created a draconic race probably far older than even Nibelung himself?!

And the HP... yeah, I can see them being killed in seconds the moment they try to kill the Astral Express crew.

Long!MC saw danger going near their hatchling, and said NOPE! Aw, but this meant they blew their cover and their vacation now had to end (after 1000s and 1000s of years)... bummer.

Oh, but imagine this leads to the Vidyadhara now visiting Liyue and sharing the gospel that is Long!MC. Like this is truth behind the Geo Archon.

And yesssss, Qlipoth does have a favourite and it’s a long ass noodly lizard with a giant gaggle of descendants.

THEY hear the rumours of Long!MC’s death and pause in building their wall. Qlipoth swears they would’ve known if Long!MC died, but what if they didn’t? It worries them enough that they leave the wall (Scaring the shit out of the IPC) to look for Long!MC. Qlipoth ends up following Long!MC’s trail to one of his Scions home-ships, where they take on a Vidyadhara-like form. There he comes across Long!MC and one of their descendants arguing whether “Long” is dead in front of some non-Vidyadharan guests. Qlipoth is very close to interrupting the argument - Maybe they thinkk Aha did something? - but Long!MC catches sight of them and stops the “argument” to go over to Qlipoth. Long!MC explains what’s going on and seems delighted that Qlipoth was worried enough to come and look for them.

(Also, if Long!MC looks like Zhongli, Qlipoth can look like a human Azhdaha. No it’s not just because I ship Rezhong why do you ask)

~ 🐸-anon

Oh my god, YES! 🤩

Qlipoth is a chunky rock, and Azhdaha is a chunky rock dragon. It's all coming together now!

First of all, the Preceptors don’t exist. The Xianzhou Alliance still does, but it is either smaller with the Vidyadhara only as loose allies, or the Vidyadhara founded them and they have a different governance than in canon.

The Sedition isn’t a thing. Let’s just say Dan F/Heng brought Yingxing to “a venerated Elder” and completely coincidentally people found out Yingxing was a lost Vidyadhara. Definitely. No aeonic bullshittery here. Just one of the “rare cases” of a hatchling disappearing and being found again.

The position of “High Elder” or whatever Dan Feng was gets juggled between multiple incarnations, so Dan F/Heng can still be a Nameless. (Maybe have it be an unofficial tradition for Vidyadhara (especially their leaders) to travel the galaxy for a break and to not fall behind the times.

—

The Vidyadhara inherited Long!MC’s dislike of the IPC and do not get along with them. Qlipoth, yes - IPC, no. They like making it difficult for them - such as stopping various planetary takeovers and “debt starting/collections”. (I want Boothill’s planet and daughter to survive…)

Long!MC likes lounging on Qlipoth as they build their wall and staring directly into the IPC’s HQ - creeping out even the most cold-blooded and experienced Stoneheart and high-ranking member.

Yes to Long!MC looking like Zhongli!!!!

I imagine him like this when they first create the Vidyadhara: https://www.tumblr.com/xxenon-54/790873532061171712/congratulations-zhongli-for-birthing-terravox?source=share

Dan F/Heng is the first Vidyadhara and they slightly overshot how much power to give him. So he’s even more overpowered than in canon. This is the first time they’re a parent and Long!MC will make sure their kids don’t end up hunted and exploited like they did in-game. (…Brooding Long!MC. Like a chicken.) So the Vidyadhara as a whole end up slightly overpowered. Just a little bit. (Imagine that every Vidyadhara is roughly at the same power-level as Imbibitor Lunae, and Dan F/Heng is at a minimum double that. Long!MC doesn’t regret a thing, cooing over their precocious hatchlings.)

Long!MC’s Vidyadhara form is an open secret that nobody outside their scions know of. Except some of the aeons. I say… Akivili and Aha definitely. Akivili because Long!MC visited some of their scions that were currently members of the Nameless, Aha because they like bothering other aeons and probably came across Long!MC when they shifted into a more humanoid form. Or Aha was making fun of Long!MC for not “being able to visit their scions” in a city or whatever and Long!MC decided that it would be funny.

(I say that Long!MC curls up around their kith and kind when sleeping, and visiting aeons are not safe. As both Akivili and Aha found out on separate occasions.)

—

Hmm… maybe the wider universe still thinks Long!MC is dead? Have it be the History Fictionologists fault. The Vidyadhara think it’s the funniest thing ever and get into debates WITH Long!MC about whether “their aeon” is dead or “just missing”. Long!MC argues that “THEY” are dead, whilst the Vidyadhara is adamant that “Long is just missing”. This argument happens weekly, more so in front of visitors.

Have the Herta Station try and convince Dan F/Heng to take part in some tests “since their aeon isn’t around to help them anymore”, and Long!MC is drinking tea in the background with the blankest face ever.

~ 🐸-anon

Yingxing is a Vidyadhara in this au?! Does that mean no Blade?! 👀

And lol, Long!MC and the Vidyadhara hating the ICP is SUCH a mood, and the fact they can mess with the ICP without gaining Qlipoth is hilarious.

That old rock has a favorite, and it's a long ass lizard that likes to nap on THEM.

And YES. Long!MC looking like Zhongli is a must. Lol, they even act like him via drinking tea and 'arguing' with historians on his own history. 🤣

Which also, I LOVE the idea of the Vidyadhara being in on the know about him 'not' being dead but playing along.

Anyways. I, much like 🦔-anon, have too many ideas (They all look so cool 🦔!) and decided to send you a list. They’re in no particular order and this is basically all I have for them, the brain is not braining unfortunately. If anything catches your eye, feel free to ask questions about the au! (But only after your holiday!)

~ 🐸-anon

—Genshin—

MC - ? Dunno who, maybe NPC?

Taken in by Aranara

→ Stories of an Aranara “princess” (The Aranara don’t know what a “princess” is lol)

Gaming!MC

Adopted by the Suanni (Man Chai is one (I think), so maybe a similar form at first? Larger form resembling Suanni, just fire instead of water)

→ Little brother/cousin of Baizhu through Changsheng?

Collei!MC

(Spoilers for latest quest)

Time travel and mistaken as daughter of Nabu Malikata due to the god remains? Or adopted by Nabu Malikata and Deshret?

→ Myths surrounding her? Eleazar believed to have originated as a poison to kill her that then spread to mortals? Believed to have caused her death, which led to her parents death?

Lyney!MC

Also has cat features like Lynette

Able to escape their situation before House of the Hearth

Travelling magicians?

Faruzan!MC

Her disappearing in a domain was because she was teaching Eremites in her free time, among other things (Fuck the Akademiya)

→ Modern Akademiya forgot this: had been written down as a mysterious disappearance, and Faruzan!MC takes full advantage of this

Fischl!MC

Immernachtreich is an actual place and history, just a pocket dimension/fold in space-time

Part-Angel Fischl!MC?

→ “Mr. Nine” (the Seelie) and Nicole as “aunts”?

⇒ Immernachtsreich ends up found but people can’t enter, readers recognise the places’s description and ask “Mr. Nine” to explain himself/for more info, leads to Mondstadt finding out Fischl!MC is not acting

Kokomi!MC

Inherits more obviously draconic/snakelike traits from Orobashi?

Seer, but hides it behind her plans/contingencies?

—HSR—

Sunday!MC and Robin!MC

Twins reincarnated together

→ Sunday!MC likes writing, Robin!MC likes singing

Sampo!MC?

????

Aha’s favourite Emanator

Long!MC

Aeon of Permanence, remembers long before canon

→ Still creates the Vidyadhara, but puts precautions in place so they don’t get as hunted (can choose to not reincarnate/die, can choose when/if to have kids, shapeshifting so they can hide, etc) (Long!MC always knows where they are, so can rescue them if needed)

⇒ Has a Vidyadhara form, open secret among their scions

Mikhail!MC (Clockmaker)

…love triangle between the Dreammaster, Hanueue and Mikhail (They want that twink and he has no idea)

Luocha!MC

No thoughts, only Earth memes (confuses the fuck out of Welt)

Brilliant healer, even before becoming Yaoshi’s Emanator

Anaxagoras!MC

Listen, he’s my favourite character in HSR. Heretic who’s a gods’ favourite blorbo? If he could that man would fistfight every god he comes across (well, shoot them to be more realistic). He’s cool :)

Oh, 🐸anon! You brought me the goods! I love all these potential MC ideas! 🤩

Personally though, my faves has to be-

Collei!MC + Time Travel au

Lyney!MC who has cat features

Fischl!MC who is part Angel

Sunday!MC and Robin!MC

Long!MC

Mikhail!MC (Clockmaker)

The Collei!MC idea alone has so much potential for angst and fluff, and I can't unsee her meeting Nabu Malikata, and the Goddess is confused as fuck, like where did this child come from?! ...Well, my baby now, YOINK-

You won't me over with the Lyney!MC idea with the idea of him having Cat features and both him and his twin evading being taken in by the house of hearth! I need them to be traveling magicans, badly!

...Just maybe, I don't know... somehow the twins also pick up Friement before House of Hearth could get their claws into that sweet child.

The Fischl!MC idea now, lol, I just need more reactions from Mondstadt. You mean to twll them she was telling the truth the whole time?!

Plus, Part Angel Fischl!MC~ i want to imagine what her wings or her being in a Seelie form would be like. She would be super cute!

Now for Sunday!MC and Robin!MC, I just want them to avoid their canon fates, please! Let them both join the Astral Express! ...And maybe Sunday!MC can find boyfriends in Ratio/Aventurine- cough, cough, you didn't hear that from me!

Long!MC alone has me in a chokehold, because YES, let the Vidyadhara race have happiness in their LONG lifes. Let Long!MC be protective of their children... but also, I want Long!MC have a favorite. Dan Feng/Heng, yeah, that's THEIR baby-

Also not me thinking of Long!MC's human form looking like Zhongli-

And as for Mikhail!MC (Clockmaker)... we need the Twink obliterated- nope, of course i didn't say that! 🤣

But seriously, I need that love triangle. I. Need. It!!!
