When the actual creator (MC) arrives, they think they just got isekai'd. When they see the first statue that looks like them, they worry that they got isekai'd into a bad SAGAU. But they keep their hope that maybe it won't be so bad. When MC tries to go to Mondstat for some reason, the wind gets really strong and leads them away to Dawn Winery (aka towards a vision holder). The first person MC meets is Diluc, who can immediately tell who she is. With his influence, soon, all the vision holders in Mondstat know who MC is. They work together to keep her safe, and even the traveler (whether it's Aether or Lumine is up to you) helps. Unfortunately, a nosy traveler (not THE traveler, just some rando) sees her and snitches. MC has to move to the next nation. She stays close to the traveler in each nation. Back in her old world, MC used to have dreams of creating a fantasy world as a child. The first thing she made after the land was dragons, wink-wink. She used to think they were just lucid dreams, when in reality they were memories. Once in Teyvat, she slowly realizes that what she thought was her first life was actually her second life, with her actual first life being her time as Teyvat's creator. Now for relationship stuff: By some sort of bullsh*t, MC ends up inside the moon portal with Rerir. MC feels Tholandis's soul roaming around and manages to bring her back. While everyone is trying to bring MC back, the three of them get really close. When they try to bring her back, she refuses to go back without the other two. Rerir has big titties, MC has thick thighs, and Tholandis just gets to enjoy both of these things. MC and Tholandis have bitten Rerir's titties; meanwhile, Tholandis and Rerir have bitten MC's thighs. All of them are very bitey (affectionately)

Oh, I like this take on a SAGAU au! 🤩

With the Archons, Vision holders, and Khaenri'ahns knowing what was up, and activity trying to help MC, it makes for a fun au! 🥰

And oh, you absolutely WON me over with this idea with the idea of MC being paired up with Rerir/Tholindis! Ah, I love it! And MC has thick thighs? Even better! Thick thighs save lives, no?

They definitely save Rerir and Tholindis, that's for sure. 🤭

Ok so MC dies and is reborn in Genshin. It doesn't take her long to realize where she is (despite still being a baby). Problem is, she might know where she is but she has no idea when she is. Because nothing significant to the plot is happening and she isn't any of the characters, or even a recognizable NPC (she's an albino woman living in the desert, the albinism is plot-relevant, I swear). So she goes on living her life as normally as she can without the modern technology she knows. Joins the akademiya and eventually, she gets married. How they met and how their relationship is, I leave up to you. Were they childhood sweethearts, was it an arranged marriage, was it to secure a deal between their families, etc.? Very "low budget TikTok Chinese drama" style. Anyways, point is by the time Dottore ( or Zandik as his horrid father would name him) is born, he is not a good husband and he will not be a good father. (Remember how I specified that MC is albino, this is where that comes in. I personally hc that Dottore is albino Just like his momma, I use this to explain how such a pale man can exist in the desert. That's where his red eyes, pale skin and light hair come from. Had he not had albinism, his hair would have been a darker blue, he would have had at least tanned skin and his eyes would have the same as his fathers. He would have looked a lot like his father and he would have hated it)

Anyway, MC gives birth and mentally she's like "Wait a minute, I recognize that hair, those eyes and those sharp teeth! Did I just give birth to Dottore?!" She quickly calms down and thinks that no, for now, he isn't Il Dottore, he's just a baby, her darling baby Zandik, and maybe she can do something so he doesn't turn out just like in canon. And MC being albino also plays a part here so her husband can't claim the boy isn't his like some sick Hijo de la luna roleplay. A few years go by, Zandik starts showing signs of higher intelligence than his peers, husband is still not a decent person, so on and so forth. MC comes back home from being out for some reason and sees her husband hurting Zandik. She also sees a lot of blood (head wounds bleed a lot even if they're not that serious because of the amount of blood vessels in the scalp) and assumes the worst. She intervenes and takes him to his room to patch him up. Once she's done, she tells him "Zanzan (nickname she gave him because she also hates that his name means heretic but the rules say the father names the child so-) no matter what you hear, don't leave this room, ok?" She leaves the room and sees her husband sitting at the dining table, like he didn't just beat his own child black and blue. She grabs a cast-iron skillet and just bashes his skull in.

I mentioned that this Zandik wouldn't have the best morals; this wasn't because MC wasn't fully able to pass on her morals properly, but because her own morals were already dubious. She actually managed to pass on her morals to him perfectly. Zandik sneaks out and catches his mom getting rid of the body and they end up swearing to take this to their graves. Zandik grows and so does his intelligence along with some more... unusual signs (something something with great intelligence comes great mental illness). He gets into the akademiya just like in canon. He gets along better with his peers because his momma taught him how to mask get along with people but his appearance and preferred research topics still greatly unsettle and push away people.

Then the incident with Sohreh happens. In canon, when Sohreh's body is found, they find injuries that could be associated with rishboland tigers but it was found that she most likely died from asphyxiation. Her death is blamed on Zandik. I'm gonna change up the story a bit. in this version, Zandik and Sohreh are genuinely attacked by the tigers. Sohreh recieves the heaviest injuries and the two of them are lost from escaping the tigers. Zandik deems that the most logical course of action would be to put her out of her misery because she would most likely die a slow death and if she somehow miraculously survived, she would likely spend the rest of her life in pain. Due to this choice, he is still expelled and when Pierro finds him and recruites him, he makes one request. That he be allowed to bring his mom with him. This wish is granted and off the two of them go to Snezhnaya.

MC doesn't meet Pierro until they reach Snezhnaya. She introduces herself properly while mentally she's biting her nail and yelling out "HELLO SAILOR~!" Zandik sees the look on his mother's face and once they're in whatever living accommodations the Fatui give them, he's just like:

Zandik: "MOM NO! That's my new boss!"

MC: "If I have it my way, he's gonna be your new stepfather."

Maybe MC also knows a bit of khanri'ahn due to studying languages during her time in the Akademiya. Like she's not fluent and she pronounces some things wrong due to never actually having the opportunity to speak with a native speaker but she knows enough for it to be conversational and to be understood. This is used to bond with Pierro a bit. MC is also a thicker woman because I believe Pierro deserves a thicker partner. He has a thick-thighs-save-lives type of mentality because I say so.

As long as he doesn't experiment on kids (my poor baby Collei) or pull half the shit he pulled in Inazuma, then I think we're good.

But WOW! I like what you have going here! from MC herself, to how she handled raising Dottore, from the fact their morals are questionable but that's what makes them the best mom/son duo.

Cause what better way to have a parent/child bonding moment than the both of you hiding a body together.

Also, the idea with Dottore being an Albino makes perfect sense to me, cause you're right, that man is too white to have originally lived in the desert!

And that last bit with MC telling Dottore to basically prepare himself because he's getting a stepdad was hilarious. But want to know what could make this funnier? If Pierro just so happened to walk up to the door, about to knock, when he hears MC's words... and starts blushing, cause MC had a whole LOT to say while Dottore was groaning in the background, cause EW-

Sides that? I'm absolutely on board with MC being a thicker woman. Let her be thick and let Pierro have the thick-thighs-save-lives type of mentality. I need that kind of Pierro.

He definitely does not experiment on children. Once he started wanting to figure out how people's insides work and wanting to open up people in order to see, MC redirects this urge. She challenges him, tells him to try to figure out how to make a machine that would allow him to see inside a person without opening them up. She mixes his new urge to understand human biology with his preexisting love of engineering. When it came to finding test subjects for whatever reason he needed, she told him to go for those desperate for what he's making (be it a cure or a treatment for something). If that doesn't work, offer compensation for participation like food, water, or clothes (Later, once he's in the Fatui, a place to stay, or mora are added to the list of things to offer). If that doesn't work, go for the criminals. When he considers forcing people into the experiments, she tells him that unless he's studying fear reactions, people being afraid of what's happening would negatively affect his data collection since they would be in a fight or flight state due to the stress. One thing she makes clear from the beginning is NO EXPERIMENTING ON CHILDREN. It's a rule that has absolutely no exceptions. She also prohibits him from killing people because they piss him off/ he wants to see how he would react to their death.

As for the nickname (Zanzan)

As a kid: he loved the nickname since he didn't like his name due to the meaning and was happy to have something else replace it.

As a teenager: acted like he hated the nickname, saying he was getting too old to be called by such a childish nickname. But if someone tried using it after they heard MC call him that, he would react negatively. The nickname is something deeply personal and important to him at this point.

As an adult: has fully accepted the nickname and knows that if his momma doesn't call him that, he has genuinely upset her in some way. (Normally by forgetting to take care of himself)(This is a reminder to everyone reading to drink water and eat something if you haven't today)

Also, if it wasn't incredibly obvious: Dottore is a total momma's boy. Has been since always.

The whole mess in Inazuma never happens since that was a result of him being jealous about how easily kabukimono was accepted by those around him, despite not being human when he wasn't, despite him being human. In this world, he had his mom, and he was accepted by some of his peers.

Also, MC was sometimes scared of giving Zandik ideas, since she didn't know whether it would be considered forbidden knowledge because it involved things that existed in her original world. She settled by giving pieces of ideas like "Oh, if only there were something that could cool down the house better than a fan."(air conditioning) After all, it should be okay if he figures out the idea by himself, right? Zandik made many advancements this way. He's pretty sure his mom has more knowledge than any person reasonably should have, but they haven't discussed it

As seen earlier, MC is great with logic. Emotions on the other hand...

Pierro could be actively attempting to court her and she would be oblivious. This is due to her ex-husband (being the horrible man he was) tearing her self-esteem to shreds. As much as she wants Pierro, she has unfortunately convinced herself that these feelings would not be reciprocated. (She's wrong about that, but low self-esteem tends to ignore reality) Pierro could be all but screaming: "I want you! Romantically and carnally!" and she would still not believe it. It takes a while for them to get together. (Very "she fell first, he fell harder.")

Also, MC would be a bit up there in age. She had Zandik in her mid-twenties, and Zandik apparently got kicked out of the Akademiya in his teens (probably 15- 17 years old), so MC would be in her early forties by the time she goes to Snezhnaya. So there isn't that much of a visible age gap between her and Pierro.

At one point, Zandik gets told to help increase recruitment numbers. Instead of going the usual route (propaganda or making the Fatui seem more appealing), he chooses (It was also partially MC's idea) to instead help reduce Snezhnaya's infancy mortality rates so that there are more people to join the Fatui It takes a while but it works. (You can't tell me Snezhnaya isn't incredibly hard to live in)

MC's obliviousness to love appears in Zandik when he meets Pantalone.

Ah, you're really spoiling me with the MC is Dottore's bio mom au~ 🥰

I love the world building you have going on atound them, showing what changes MC made in Dottore, and comparing how things went differently from canon. One example being the 'don't experiment on kids' thing.

Makes me imagine he still gets his hands on Collei, but he actually HELPS her being dropping off in either Mondstadt or Sumeru.

...Though, I'm having a realization.

He ages. His mama ages. What's he's going to do about that, cause I don't see him letting his mother pass away like a normal person. She must remain with him! He can't lose her!

Also, on a funnier note... me and @platinumrosetail were talking about MC and Pierro... and they somehow having kids cause MC is just BUILT differently, and Dottore claims to hate the brats, only-

Pantalone: "What you got there, Dottore?"

Dottore turns around, coffee in one hand, and his new baby sister sleeping in his other arm: "Coffee. Anymore stupid questions?"

-he does end up growing reluctantly fond... ugh.

Sides that, I also LOVE the idea of Dottore inheriting his mama's obliviousness to love. I can only imagine how Pantalone is gonna deal with that.

So yeah MC (the real creator) is being hunted down. But their statues are enchanted. So any change the creator does to themselves appears on them. If MC cuts their hair short to change their appearance to not match the 'creator', next day the statues have short hair. They wear a mask or a veil to cover their face, next day, you guessed it, the statues has a mask or a veil. This happens with any changes. But, here's where it gets interesting, injuries appear on the statues as well. An arrow hit them, the statue will show an arrow where they were hit until the injury heals. Stabbed by spear will show a piece of the spear being stuck in the injury. So on and so forth. The closer to dieing MC gets the worse the statue looks. They are first shown standing, then as if they were stumbling, then kneeling, then crawling and finally laying down. If MC dies permanently (normally they can come back to life, because they're above normal gods, why would they able to die that easily?) the statues will crumble. The statues changing so much leads everyone to notice that somethings wrong. Becuase the one they've been worshipping hasn't been changing. Their hair stays long, they never wear a mask or a veil. And most importantly, when checked they have no injuries or scars at all.(I hope you can tell I don't like it when they hurt the creator for too long) The fake is overthrown and MC takes their place as the creator of Teyvat and still trusts most people because people started questioning reality when the injuries they caused on the 'fake' appeared on the statues of the creator. They are a little weary of the vision holders who actually managed to hurt them but those people are the minority.

Ooohhh! This is such a cool take on a SAGAU au! The statues represent the TRUE Creator's (MC's) health is such a nice touch on the usually grim au! 🤩

And yeah, I never like hurting any MC too much so how about we pretend Teyvat notices real quick what was up and fixed the issue of the actual fake Creator before MC could get too beat up and covered in scars.

Ok so for the little girls name I'm thinking Astraea or Stella. Both names mean "star" which I think is fitting.

As for MC dying, this is resolved shortly after she finally gets with Pierro.

Shortly after getting together, Pierro realizes that his dearest MC is still aging and that eventually she would die. He goes to the Tsaritsa and begs for her help a khanri'ahn begging a god for help, the things a man will do for love, huh? The result is that the Tsaritsa, being the god of love, finds a way to tie MC's lifespan to Pierro's (She does ask MC if she's ok with this first). So long as Pierro lives, so will she. And then whatever is being done to keep Pierro from aging is done to her as well.

Zandik still makes the segments. He has too many ideas and not enough time to follow all of them. The segments, much like the original, are all momma's boys. This has led to multiple fights for her affection and attention.

At one point after they get married, Pierro sees MC being motherly to the snezhnayan children (of which there is a greater amount due to Zandik's work) and suddenly a few weeks later, would you look at that, MC is pregnant. I wonder how that happened...

Zandik adores his little sister, no matter how much he hates admitting it.

I say Astraea should be the baby girl's name! I think it would fit well as a 'Khaenri'ahn' style of name, and one Pierro suggested himself.

And yes, thank you Pierro for saving yourself the misery of losing MC eventually. Now you and your wifey can be together for as long as Pierro lives, which considering his curse... is gonna be for a LONG while.

Sides that, lol, MC not only gained a new baby girl, but also a whole bunch of 'sons' who are all momma's boys. She's gonna have her hands full with this family and she has no regrets.

Secondly, I have an idea for an MC that reincarnates into Teyvat and ends up being Dottore's bio mom, with her also ending up with Pierro. But I saw in your second MC!Verse masterlist that you were putting limits on the MC asks. So I wanted to ask if you'd still want to hear about it even if it might end up being a one-off thing?

Heh~ Glad you like my Furina!MC content~

As for your question, to be honest...I want to hear it! Dottore's bio mom? As a MC? And pairing up Pierro? Oooohhh! I need to hear it! 🤩
