Beep beep - your local tumblr postman is here to deliver your love letter ♥

My love,

Last night, I dreamt of you. I was transported back to that day last summer. We sat below the many lush trees in Qiaoying village while I read with my back against the bark of the tree. You were lying on my lap with your eyes closed, looking as beautiful and serene as ever. I observed the slow and steady rise and fall of your chest and couldn’t help but smile.

Even the rarest ores this world has to offer pale in comparison to your beauty. I often find myself wondering how someone like me managed to make you fall in love with me, I can truly call myself a lucky man.

I was often told that my heart could be compared to a rock, cold and immovable even by the greatest forces of nature and it is also often said that rocks erode as time passes but in truth, with you by my side it feels more like that heart of stone is being polished into a perfect gemstone. Our love knows no erosion, on the contrary, I find myself smitten with you more and more with every rise and fall of the sun.

To me time didn’t have any meaning before I met you, it would have been just another day that I walked the earth. Seconds, minutes and even hours were moving forward and so would I - without any reason or goal other than to exist. Whenever I am with you however, it feels like time is slowing down. It’s as if water running down on the outside of a glass slowly turns to honey. The time that had no taste or meaning before is sweet and feels like a perfect eternity whenever you’re with me.

I eagerly await your return from your travels and hope you will be back in my arms as soon as the heavens allow it.

Thank you for teaching my heart to love again, my dear.

Yours forever,

Zhongli

There's no space for love in war, but you manage to make some, because gods can.

He's standing proud on a stone pillar, one he ordered to sprout like a flower from dirt, his white clothes betraying the amount of blood he'd spilled in these endless bits of divine conflict. There's molten gold over his figure, the rising sun not nearly as exquisite as the cor lapis nestled in his eyes, and yet it honours his eternal glory well enough.

You almost forget you're a deity yourself, as you seat on another stone throne he kindly offered you, lost in the gentle twirls of his hair at the mercy of the breeze. And you're conscious that yours is much more than admiration for such a strong god, that yours is unadulterated love, blind to the slaughter his firm hands cast upon the land. Or perhaps your rioting heart finds it just as fascinating.

You too dirtied your hands. "For a greater cause." You promised.

But you doubt there's anything greater than him.

Time is meaningless to the both of you. It measly flows like river waters, privileged just enough to graze your ankles, to give you a sunrise that seems the last in the history of the known world, but the first in the history of yours. A sunrise that can nothing against his grace and beauty.

"What is it that is on your mind?" His baritone doesn't break the magic, it only solidifies it.

"You."

There's no hesitation in your answer, the same sharp, unwavering emotion that surges through your blade while you fight. And his smile reassures you that the same goes for him.
