People are afraid of beautiful things.
Beautiful things must stay undefiled and perfect. Crown jewels mustn't get dusty, after all. They remain unmoving and are only aired out when necessary.
Why else are museums so quiet? Art can only be observed from a distance-at arm's length. Various paintings, pieces, calligraphy, and pressed flowers securely placed in their respective frames, trapped behind glass and gold.
Take one step too close and the deafening alarms will sound. You will be chastised for your insolence.
Ayaka learns this far too late.
What's worse is that she is the one trapped in the picture-perfect frame. She cannot escape and must shoulder her burdens behind closed doors. Those moments when the large crowd's awe turns to fear makes Ayaka feel like she is breaking inside.
Ayaka thinks that she is just herself. (No, not really.) She is a princess and must act like it.

𝓘 𝓭𝓲𝓭𝓷'𝓽 𝓪𝓼𝓴 𝓲𝓯 𝔀𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓷, 𝓸𝓷𝓵𝔂 𝓲𝓯 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓽𝓸. Kagayaku Kanari thought she'd finally escaped her past, having achieved her humble dream of being a royal knight. Yet, when her skill and intellect catch the eye of Kamisato Ayato, the noble king of Inazuma, she lands a position that she didn't think she could ever receive: his personal royal advisor. It had seemed easy enough, but what she didn't expect was for her childhood to come back knocking on her door. As she grows closer and closer to the king, layers of hidden emotions and newfound feelings spark to life. Will she escape the strings of fate and shield her heart? Or maybe, just maybe, she will forge a new fire from the ashes she'd once left behind. Royal AU!

My Muse scaramouche x reader
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD READ MY OTHER STORY AND LET THIS ONE DIE!! I need motivation to upload another chapter to that fic I beg of you 🙏😔 "Y/N, I said stop moving. I'll ruin this if you don't..." he gave me a glare before returning his focus towards the artwork... "It's kinda hard when you have me in an uncomfortable position" I grumble. I had been sitting looking up to my right for thirty minutes now and my neck was getting tired. He sighed in annoyance before looking up at me. "You really can't stay still for five minutes can you?"Complete

𝐀 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐜 ➶➶➶➶➶♡ It's not easy being the head of the flourishing and famous Miyazaki Estate, but that's precisely what Y/N manages to be, braving the task with a kind heart and calm head. After her father's passing, she inherited his position and worked hard to make the Estate thrive.......all just to be plagued by the problem of marriage. Working this hard just to be tied down by a matter as trivial as marriage? It was dumb, the least of your worries, but the subtle judgment of the other nobles made it hard to brush off. However, you continued to ignore the numerous marriage proposals that befell you every day, until you were suddenly asked for your hand in marriage by..... The head of the Kamisato Clan??? Kamisato Ayato? The man that was on the lips of idle townspeople every day, yet rarely made a public appearance? The one you had never seen but always considered your rival? This was....interesting indeed. Was this purely out of good intention...or was there something else behind it? -x- This is my second fanfic y'all, enjoy :D I have many regrets Rankings: #1 in ayatokamisato - 22/05/22 #1 in ayatoxreader - 23/05/22 #4 in genshinimpactxreader - 19/05/22 #3 in inazuma - 13/06/22Complete

Waves Touching Clouds (Kamisato Ayato x Reader)
"Apologize," he said seriously as he leaned on his table while his arms are folding on his chest. "I'm fucking sorry." "LANGUAGE." "...motherfucker-" you whispered. You always wanted to travel and explore Teyvat but your strict parent won't let you go out. As soon as your mother got engaged with the head of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, she let you out freely for the first time. You were supposed to go to Inazuma first with Thoma but unfortunately, you were robbed so you were stuck in Inazuma and you became one of the maids in Kamisato Estate. They are not aware that you were the first daughter of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, even your close friend, Thoma. (This fanfic is written before Kamisato Ayato's official release on the game) I do not own Genshin Impact and their characters. This is an Ayato x Fem Reader fanfic, to be specific. (This fic is mainly enemies to lovers trope) A ship mention: EulAmber, ThomAyaka - If you're uncomfortable, please drop the fic.

More Or Less | ayato & thoma
[TEYVAT AU, COMPLETED] THANK YOU FOR 10K READS & VOTES! ♡ Thoma wished to bring his Inazuman father his dandelion wine until a big wave hit his boat, leaving everyone behind and survived by him - he came across Kamisato Ayato, the young Head of the Kamisato Clan, whom he had wished to meet just before the disaster. He stayed in Inazuma, being the housekeeper of the clan. Thoma kept a good relationship with Ayato, until one night, he'd catch him in his office, intoxicated. Then he wouldn't realize that later on, his lips would be on his young Master's. They'll ask themselves later on, what are they? Are they more than colleagues, or less than two people in love?
