Hi!

I love your writings, reading them always makes me feel better on a not-so-good-day. Keep up with the amazing work, but don’t forget to take care of yourself too.
Can I request a One-Shot with Venti x male or gender-neutral Reader where the Reader takes the hit from La Signora (sorry, I don’t like her) and Venti protects his s/o, accidentally revealing himself to be Barbatos to the people of Mondstadt?

Anon sent this as a submission so I hope I’m doing this right lmao <3

Dw I know everyone doesn’t have exquisite taste in women /j

Hi Leader of the Winds is back as normal <3

I also did something similar here if you wanna read that too

Sorry genshin impact storyline I broke you </3

Pairings; Venti x reader

Warning(s); prologue spoilers, violence

Keep reading under the cut!

“We should go get some dinner together” you tell Venti while you, him, and the traveller walk outside the Cathedral

“Yeah! We haven’t had a date night in a-” 

“Well, well, well” Signora interrupts Ventis response “Who would have thought I would catch Barbatos and The Leader of the Winds in the same place” she smirks in a low tone of voice

“I don’t like your tone of voice fatui” you snarl stepping forwards and putting your arms out protectively in front of Venti and the traveller. Signora’s hand shoots out and grips your face

“You should watch your tone” she snarls back using her other hand to punch you in the gut

“[name]!” Venti yells upon seeing your body crumple onto the floor. Venti watches your body try and get back up before you get hit with an ice block summoned from Signora’s catalyst. The traveller runs past Venti with their sword up, just to be kicked down by one of the agents. “That’s enough” Venti announces clapping his hands together and revealing his archon form.

A few people from the cathedrals piazza and a few curious gazes from within the Cathedral see the transformation. Nothing is spoken between them, no one wants to make a noise and are held in anticipation.

“I think it’s time for the invasive vermin to sit down before they cause any trouble” he announces summoning a wave of anemo down upon the group of fatui. Signora sinks to her knee and lets out a low growl

“Rodents need to keep in their lane” she growls lunging forwards to attack Venti. Through some bad luck Signora still manages to get her grubby hands on the gnosis. And as she begins to walk away you summon your own wave of anemo to at least make her stumble as she walks away. As much poise you can take away from her is a win.

Venti skids on the ground beside you with a concerned frown on his face “[name], are you okay?” he asks, you nod a few times

“Yeah, I just need to meditate for an hour or two” you respond with a small pained smile. And without much he scoops you up and flies towards Windrise. 

“Cats out of the bag for us ey?” Venti asks as he settles you down onto the floor, you try your best to sit up, you smile and nod to him with a hum,

“Yeah…” you trail off “Are you going to-”

“Sleep?” Venti offers, you nod again. He shakes his head

“Tides are changing [name], I think I want to see what happens” he replies with a smile, you smile and nod

“Thank the archons,” you lean over to give Venti a kiss on the cheeks, he smiles and reverts to his bard form

“She still took what she wanted, right?” you ask cocking your brow, Venti nods looking down to your shoulder where he then rests his head. “Bitch” you mutter under your breath, the bard giggles beside you.

“[name]” he says raising his head from your shoulder to look at you, you meet his eyes. You watch as his eyes flick between your two eyes “If anything happens to you, I don’t think I’d be able to live with it” he tells you, “If Signora did anything more I don’t thi-”

“Venti” you say firmly interrupting his words “You’re spiralling love. I’m here, and mostly healed” you smile cupping his cheek. Venti leans on your palm and closes his eyes

“I know love, but…” he trails off

“I know” you smile giving him a kiss

The next few days are eventful. The two of you are bombarded a handful of times. In some cases being the mainly forgotten protector works out, while Venti is bombarded with question you often get to disappear from the invasive questioning.

“You’re the Leader of the Winds right?” a small girl asks, you crouch down beside her and nod

“Yes I am” you reply with a soft smile

“You saved my mummy when she was my age!” she tells you in a matter-o-fact tone, you raise a brow

“Did I now?” you ask, she nods with a grin. You can recall saving a similar looking girl some twenty or thirty years ago. “If you are ever in grave danger call my name okay?” you tell her taking her hands “That’s what your mummy did” you add with a nod

“What’s your name?” she asks curiously. You tell her. The girl nods again before running off

“Where did you learn the calling of your name trick?” Venti asks behind you, you chuckle

“There’s some angst lord in Liyue who taught me that one” you reply as Venti helps you up. “Do you think this commotion will die soon?” you ask. The bard sighs

“A man can only dream” he replies, “But I’m sure it will”

“Lets make the most of it and see how much free alcohol we can get”

“[name], this is why I love you”
