ᴄʜᴇᴍɪᴄᴀʟ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ - ᴀʟʙᴇᴅᴏ x ᴏᴄ

In the cold mountains of Dragonspine resides a certain alchemist best known by the people of Mondstadt as Albedo. Most think of him as distant and independent, only focusing on his studies when he isn't exploring the vast landscape, but there is much more to him, a certain asset many have overlooked.

It's been several months since an accident involving the treasure hoarders and the Knights. The band of thieves is still recovering from the loss of a member. The alchemist is coping with the cold realization of his actions. Melanie Tenshi, a treasure hoarder, is caught in the middle. Her heart is in two places. She must decide if she should stick with the group that raised her or the man who completely turned her towards the light. Will Albedo's love triumph, or will she be lost to the world of crime forever?

(I do not own Genshin or any of its characters, though Melanie is my OC. All photos on the top of each chapter do not belong to me.)
