In the sleepless city of Fontaine, Wriothesley works long hours to keep the Fortress of Meropide running, scraping by to give his young daughter, Sigewinne, the gentlest life he can manage. Between late-night baths, lavender-scented shampoo, and bunny-print pajamas, he's built a quiet world for her-one far removed from the grandeur of the Palais Mermonia above.
So when an urgent summons from the Chief Justice disrupts their bedtime, Wriothesley is forced to bring Sigewinne into the halls of power-and straight into the path of Neuvillette himself.
Distant, refined, and unknowable, Neuvillette has always seemed more storm than man. But when one sleepy child with pink-highlighted hair and zero filter decides he's perfect "second dad" material, the carefully drawn lines between duty and heart begin to blur.
As rain falls over Fontaine, two strangers begin to unravel the distance between them-one awkward meeting at a time.

When you discover a battle ring within the underwater prison, you find yourself challenging the authority of the Warden in the Fortress. He, however, would never let his title be stolen by someone he found to be so troublesome.

Where the Rain Falls Softest
In the heart of Fontaine, where rain never ceases and justice weighs heavy, Chief Justice Neuvillette-quiet, mysterious, and unknowingly lonely-finds unexpected solace in the company of Wriothesley, the warden of the Fortress of Meropide. As the two navigate the delicate balance between duty and desire, a friendship rooted in trust and mutual respect slowly deepens into something far more tender. But as Wriothesley begins to uncover the truth behind the rain that never ends, he realizes the sky above Fontaine isn't the only thing Neuvillette has been holding back. A gentle, slow-burn friends-to-lovers tale where affection grows like the quiet drizzle-constant, comforting, and impossible to ignore.Complete![Droplets that fell (for you) [Wriolette]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/353319475-256-k170220.jpg)

Wriothesley - the unshakable Duke of the Fortress of Meropide, feared enforcer of Fontaine's justice system. Noctua - a faceless thief, ghost of the rebellion, and the most wanted woman in the city. He stands for order. She exists to tear it down. When a string of high-profile thefts leaves behind nothing but black coins and public embarrassment, Wriothesley takes the case personally. He wants her caught. Caged. Forgotten. But she's always one step ahead - until a dance, a slip, and a stolen glance throw them into each other's orbit for real. They don't flirt. They fight. They don't touch. They wound. But the closer they clash, the more the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur. And hatred... doesn't burn this slow unless there's something deeper underneath. Enemies. Partners. Obsession. This is not a love story. This is what happens when you fall for the one you were born to destroy.Complete![Neuvillette - Bound [Genshin Impact]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/389115958-256-k333191.jpg)
Neuvillette - Bound [Genshin Impact]
[Neuvillette x Reader | Slow burn Novel] The first thing people always noticed about me was my hands. Cold. Always cold. Not the kind of chill that fades with gloves or a warm drink, but a deep, unshakable frost that clung to my skin and never let me go. My parents-kind, pragmatic entrepreneurs-chalked it up to impaired circulation. Nothing a little hard work and a good pair of gloves couldn't fix. It was winter, and I was a bundle of sheets. They took me in, raised me as their own, and we turned our small family business into something thriving and worth passing down. But I never truly fit into their world of trade routes and negotiations. I wanted-no, I craved something out of reach. So, when the opportunity arose to expand their business into Fontaine, I seized it. My own branch, my own rules. I'm terrified. How could I not be? But maybe it's worth it. A fresh start in a city of glittering waters and ironclad justice, where the rain reigns supreme, and magic and technology kiss in an impossible marriage. Little did I know... Oh, so little, I did know. 🎖️#1 Neuvillette 11/25 🎖️#1 Genshinfanfic 02/26 🎖️#1 NeuvillettexReader 06/25 🎖️#1 Hydrodragon 12/25 🎖️#1 Hydro 11/25 🎖️#1 Fontaine 11/25
The Iudex's day off
Wriothesley takes it upon himself to investigate the sudden disappearances of melusines when Sigewinne doesn't return from her sudden day off. This leads him straight to the Chief Justice himself, only to find that Neuvillette too seems to have taken a few days off. Warning! This story, while just like my other stories, doesn't have smut, unlike my previous stories it is on the more mature side, here and there (mostly some jokes). Read at your own discretion. The title may change. OMG I'm obsessed with this ship! This story is getting written ASAP! Credit for cover goes to @Liiiiiiimsao on TwitterComplete
For You I Saved the Love (I Never Knew How to Give)
Harry's face completely changed. "Oh, is that a child?" He sounded almost hopeful. "Yeah, that's my daughter, Lillian," he said, unable to contain the pride in his voice and stepped aside. Harry peeked inside and grinned. "Can I meet her?" Louis blinked. "Yeah, sure. Come in," he said and the man followed him inside. His daughter was looking at him curiously. Her face was red and wet from her tears, but she had calmed down to silent sniffles. "This is our neighboor, Harry. Come say hi to him." The little girl looked at Harry and gave him a shy smile. He kneeled in front of the armchair and held out his hand. "I'm Harry, what's your name?" "Lilly," she replied, softly. She looked at his hand and took it in her own small ones. Louis' eyes widened. "Like the flower?" Harry asked and she nodded, happily. "It's very nice to meet you, Lilly," he shook her hand up and down as far as her arms could go, and all her bad mood was gone in an instant, dissolved in a big smile. OR the one where Louis moves to a small town with his young daughter and has a gorgeous neighbor. Harry loves children and Louis also likes him a little bit. Lots of fluff. ***Cover and translation into Portuguese by @larriewildeComplete
