"What if the world ends...what will happen then?"
Just a book to store all of my ideas with Zhongli.
It might be OOC but it helps me with my Anxiety and mood swings.

Y/n was what you would call now... A witch. Not the type that flies on brooms or bring you poisoned apples, but a witch nontheless. People across Liyue would go to them for healing or for an advice. So, they made living out of it. Of course, there were people that were sceptical about all of this, but what's weirder. Adepti all around you, or few herbs helping with your aching heart?
They met Zhongli while buying some ores. He was there, telling his blonde friend about all of the properties of them and where to get them. To be honest, y/n was mesmerized by his words, and even suprised, because, he suprised even them. And that didn't happen often. So, even after the duo left, the witch was standing there for a few more minutes, trying to remember why they even visited the shop. The tall, long haired man's words were the only things in their mind.
That was the first time. The second time was actually on the same place, but now only the two of them. "You are quite knowledgeable in this field, sir." y/n finally spoke, after giving themselves the courage for the past few minutes. The ex geo archon was a bit suprised, when he turned around. "Oh, I've overheard you the last time you were here, with the traveler. I hope you don't mind" they said, a bit more nervous. Because, of course, it wasn't the most polite to listen to another one's conversation. But Zhongli just smiled, and replied: "It is nothing. My name's Zhongli, consultant of the Wangsheng funeral parlor. You are y/n, if I am not mistaken?" and of course, he was right. Y/n just nodded with a smile and both of them exchanged a hand shake. And lucky for them, it was soon a lunch time. So they both agreed on spending more time together by eating lunch, talking about crystals, work and even some personal things.
Since that day, Zhongli often visited the little shop y/n made, everytime with a new rare crystal in his hand. Everytime y/n asked why, the got "It made me think of you because..." and then in depth explanation why. Their favourite one was just a simple one. "It has sparks in it. Just like your eyes." So, they wore it as a pendant, wrapped in gold around their neck. To be honest, it made Morax smile everytime he saw it on y/n's neck. In exchange, the witch started making him tea. They had some from all around the world. Even some from Inazuma. Without realising it, Zhongli visited almost every day. And every day, y/n was happy to see him.
As usually, Zhongli visited. But this time, it was late in the evening, y/n already closing up the shop but of course, they let him in. After that, they noticed it was raining from the state the consultant was in. "I am sorry. I love far from this place and as you can see, it already started raining. I figured I could hide here for a while, since it looks like the rain will get heavier. I hope I am not ruining your evening, that would really be unpleasent. Don't worry I-" He wasn't talking fast or panicking, yet y/n stopped him by pressing a finger to his now cold lips. "It is fine. I don't mind a company. Put your coat down, I'll prepare us some tea." and with a smile, they left. They didn't notice the suprised face, that resulted in a sweet smile, while he put his coat to hang. And that was the start of their shared live, filled with flowers, smiles, love and of course, crystals.

"This is the one you said reminded you of my eyes" said y/n, after months, when she saw the ring with a crystal, after Zhongli proposed. "And I still mean it y/n. I love you."
