Author's notes:

Hello! Here is my contribution to the Genshin Impact Fandom fanfics. Never thought I would be so invested to a Gacha game.

This fic is more for fun than story telling. I might write a more story and shipping fueled Genshin fanifc someday. But I hope you guys enjoy this Music parody filled collection of one-shots, that may or may not be interconnected with one another. Songs ranged from being of Disney to other songs I find enjoyable from the internet. With the title reflecting and my author notes informing you guys of the song being parodied.

Also Aether and Lumine will switch between being the main traveler and Abyss leader respectively in some chapters, depending on the story and song.

With that all said, I hope you guys enjoy our favorite twin travelers being stranded on Teyvat, with its resident's spontaneously breaking out into song. I know Venti would enjoy this tale!

*Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or songs being parodied, all rights and trademarks go to their respective parties, like Mihoyo and the respective singers/artists.

With that said, Here is the chapter enjoy!

Chapter 1:

'A Girl Worth Fighting For…' Fatui Edition (Ft. Disguised Lumine)

It was bad idea.

Infiltrating the Fatui branch in Liyue, disguise as new recruit, and joining their ranks; To gain any important intel related to the Archons or something useful, like how to get into Inazuma …And maybe anything related to the Abyss Order—Specifically the whereabouts of her now turned Abyss prince of a brother, who's no doubt leading the entire Abyss organization against his war with Destiny.

Yup. Lumine thought it was a horrible idea.

But she was still reeling from her stupid brother's somewhat-abandonment of her. And maybe that's the reason why she even considered infiltrating the Fatui, just so she could exploit their vast information network and find her brother again.

It was still a bad idea, though.

And risky too. That was Lumine's first thought when Paimon first suggested she infiltrate the Fatui by posing as a new recruit. She expressed her reservation regarding the idea, but her ever so faithful traveling companion gave some good points.

"But it's not like they'll recognize you anyway. Paimon thinks the Fatui turn blind or are too dense to recognize the traveler when you're wearing a mask. And that time with Eula, they couldn't even tell it was you, even with your clothes on! Imagine if you were in one of their full uniforms? Hehehe… You can waltz right in and get whatever horrible Fatui plans they have right under their noses! As easy as Paimon eating her sticky honey roast and looking good while you're at it!"

And Lumine was convinced. Her companion made a compelling argument that she couldn't refute. And not because she wanted to try a Fatui uniform for whatever reason.

After some careful planning—and an unfortunate Fatui agent meeting an accident by the end of her sword—Lumine enacted their plan just in time as Snezhnaya sends another batch of new recruits to Liyue. And everything should have been smooth sailing from there. At least that's what Lumine thought at first.

She didn't think ahead that a few complications would arise during her infiltration.

It started off with everyone thinking she was boy, because of the uniform she stole. And Lumine had to roll with it to avoid suspicion, calling herself Ling.

Then it turns out Childe was back, a.k.a. the 11th Harbinger Tartaglia, to oversee the training of the new recruits. Complicating things, with Lumine fearing he'd recognize her because he was her… friend? Frenemy? Guy she used to beat up once a week before he left back to his homeland after meeting his cute younger brother.

It got worst, when Lumine learned Childe didn't come alone. He brought Scaramouche with him. The short psycho 6th harbinger boy's reason is to watch over Childe, probably because of the ruckus he caused in Liyue months ago, much to the other harbinger's dislike.

Fortunately for Lumine, the two guys were two busy antagonizing each other to take notice of her disguise self, providing her some level of relief. But in between avoiding the two harbingers, keeping up her manly appearance, and whatever training or menial tasked assigned for them to do, it left Lumine little time to gather any worthy information related to her goals.

While only hearing a few snippets from her fellow recruits, of their homesickness or their adoration for the Tsaritsa. She quickly got tired listening of the latter.

Now at the present, Lumine finds herself marching around Dihua marsh with her 'fellow' Fatui skirmishers, for whatever mission and plan their two harbingers have in store for them. Not that they know what they were planning either, because Childe and Scaramouche have been arguing, since the moment they began their march through Liyue.

At this point, Lumine was already planning a way out of her current predicament, seeing it useless for her staying with the Fatui any longer and getting tired of hearing the incessant bickering of her two 'superiors'.

Lumine tried not to roll her eyes at the thought. She failed.

She could tell that even the other Fatui members were growing tired of their Harbingers' behavior too. But none of them spoke or complained about it, out of fear of receiving their ire and not wanting an early death.

Instead, to Lumine's surprise, they did something else to relieve their stress and pass the time.

They started singing.

Fatui skirmishers (singing in chorus.): "For a long time we've been, marching off to battle…"

Electrohammer skirmisher (comments while wiping sweat off his brows): "In our thundering herd, We feel a lot like cattle~"

Fatui skirmishers (singing in chorus, while some trying to fan themselves): "Like the Liyue Heat, Our aching feet, aren't easy to ignore!"

Lumine swore there was rhythmic music accompanying them too, as if played by certain green clothed bard. But before she could dwell on that thought, a Pyroslinger decided to take lead.

Pyroslinger (suddenly jumping up with enthusiasm): "Hey! think of instead… A girl worth fighting for~!"

Lumine (Visibly confuse and suddenly joining in): "Huh?"

The Pyroslinger waved a finger knowingly at Lumine in response.

Pyroslinger (excitedly exclaiming): "That's what I said! A girl worth fighting for!"

Puzzled, Lumine continues to watch other Fatui skirmishers begin to describe their ideal woman.

Pyroslinger (swooning dreamily): "I want her pale as winter snow, with eyes that shine like ice~"

Electrohammer skirmisher (flexing his arms while holding his hammer): "My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my hammer strikes!"

Hydrogunner & Cryogunner (both duet): "We couldn't care, less what she'll wear or what she looks like…! It all depends on what she cooks like!"

Hydrogunner: "Fish…"

Cryogunner: "Meat…"

Everyone (swooning, including Lumine.): "Timmie's Pigeons! …Mmmmmm~"

At the mention of food, Childe and Scaramouche decided for a brief lunch break, before moving on once more. They briefly passed a group of local women carrying baskets of fruit, with all of them noticing Lumine and giggle amusingly at her. Flustering the disguise the traveler, which her peers took notice.

Electrohammer skirmisher (bumping his shoulder teasingly at Lumine): "Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer~"

Anemoboxer skirmisher (cutting in with some shadow boxing): "And I'll bet the ladies love, an Anemo Boxer!"

Fatui Skirmishers (Everyone singing): "You can guess what we, have missed the most, from our Snezhnaya home!"

Suddenly Childe cuts in, taking reins of the song, surprising Lumine.

Childe (pumping a raised fist in the air): "What do we want?!"

Everyone (except Lumine and Scaramouche): "A girl worth fighting for~!"

Childe suddenly grabs both Scaramouche and a disguise Lumine under his shoulders. With a bit love struck eyes.

Childe (suddenly reminiscing about Lumine): "Lumine likes me despite my faults, So cute and very kind~"

Lumine (trying to control her blush): "H-How sure the girl, is still uh… free? No other boy in mind?"

Childe and Scaramouche stare at Lumine with raised eyebrows, from hearing her remark.

Childe and Scaramouche: "Nah!"

Childe (too dense to notice what's in front of him) "My manly ways, and fighting dates, are sure have wooed her~!"

Scaramouche (whispering aside to Lumine, mockingly): "I doubt she'd date a serial killer, heh."

Childe heard him, which caused both guys to argue once more. With Lumine right between them.

"Hey, I heard that short stack!"

"Good! I thought you'd be deaf with your head so high up in the clouds!"

"Yeah in cloud nine! You wouldn't know, cause you haven't hit puberty yet!"

"WHY! YOU—"

"Sirs. Please behave yourselves!" Lumine cried out to her dismay. While the other skirmishers continue humming their jolly tune, enjoying the show.

It took a while for Lumine to settle the two Harbingers, allowing them to continue marching peacefully. She was glad that musical mood they had didn't dissipate. And much to her surprise…

Scaramouche walk closed to her side and gave a wink.

Scaramouche (smiling at Lumine.): "There's a girl I know, who I admit, I like her~"

Lumine looks away, not knowing why she was more flustered than afraid from Scaramouche's remark.

Childe (cuts in with a teasing smirk): "She's the only girl, who likes him, cuz he's shorter~"

The two start another argument. Lumine shakes her head in clear exasperation before joining everyone merrily singing to their hearts content.

Everyone (now marching with the beat): "But in Snezhnaya, its wintery, so Love's an open door!"

Childe (jumps away from Scaramouche and cheers loudly.): "What do we want?!"

Everyone (replies in unison with equal mirth): "A girl worth fighting for!"

Scaramouche (whispering dejectedly to himself): "Wish that I had…"

Everyone (cheerily ignoring their harbingers comment): "A girl worth fighting for!"

Lumine (laughing while being carried by some Vanguards): "A girl worth fighting—"

"Halt! by the order of the Millelith!" An armored man holding a polearm, cuts in, interrupting the Fatui group.

Lumine was immediately put down and moved into formation, as every skirmisher prepares themselves for confrontation. Because right in front of them was a small army of the Millelith intercepting them.

And right in front leading the group with the soldier who called out to them earlier, were two individuals Lumine recognize.

"See Paimon's intuition was right!" A high-pitched voice called.

"My small friend, I recalled it was the traveler who informed us about this outing and her request to aide in extracting her." A smooth deep masculine voice replied to the former.

"Paimon?! Zhongli?!" Lumine couldn't help crying out in relief. Breaking off her formation, much to Childe's, Scaramouche's, and the rests of the Fatui's confusion.

"Traveler." Zhongli called, just as Lumine cross the distance between them in record time. And glomp both him and Paimon in a big hug.

"I'm so happy you guys got my message!" Lumine exclaimed, before asking. "But you guys didn't need to bring the Millelith with you."

"Hehehe… Paimon got a bit too worried." Paimon spoke, timidly scratching the back of her head.

Zhongli couldn't help adding. "Worried is an understatement. Paimon made it sound like you were in deep trouble when she received your hidden letter. She almost mobilize the entirety of Liyue to help you. Nearly convincing all the Adepti and the Liyue Qixing to help."

"Aw… Paimon." Lumine couldn't help feeling touch at Paimon's worry for her. As the pixie shied away from her affection. "Oh… No need to give Paimon that look!"

"Now wait just a second!" Childe called out to the trio. "Before we throwdown or whatever—I have some questions! And I want answers to them! Like, why does Ling know Paimon and Mr. Zhongli?! And where's the traveler?!"

"YEAH!" The other skirmishers yelled, sharing the same thought.

Scaramouche on the other hand, was facepalming due to their idiocy.

"I think this would answer your question!" Lumine calls back. Dramatically ripping off the fatui uniform over her, revealing her foreign signature dress underneath.

Gasp and cries of surprise were heard. From both the Millelith and the Fatui.

But Childe and all of the Fatui skirmishers were still confuse. "Ling, why are you wearing the traveler's clothes?"

Lumine shared a look with Paimon and Zhongli, both then pointing at the mask on her face. With a tired sigh, Lumine removes it and looks back with a bored expression at Childe and the rest of the Fatui.

Who immediately burst out in shock.

"LUMINE! You're Ling! Or Ling was you!? NO. LING WAS YOU!" Childe cries, mortified. "That means we—You saw—I was…That time in the river…"

Scaramouche was enjoying how Childe was lost at words, while commenting to Lumine. "I had my suspicions… but I commend you for your trickery. I must say traveler, you've fooled us."

Paimon smugly points out with her hand on her hips. "Don't you mean you guys got Fatui'd… By the Traveler!"

Every skirmisher shared a look with one another, shrugging, murmuring, all nodding their heads and agreeing.

With a Pyroslinger saying. "She's got a point."

After a few moments. Lumine bartered for a ceasefire between the two group and letting the Fatui, including Childe and Scaramouche, go. Seeing that they've foiled whatever plot they were planning and not wanting any confrontation to end the day.

Though, Lumine admits to Paimon and Zhongli later on the real reason why she didn't want to fight. It was because she was in a good mood after the impromptu song number the Fatui did and didn't want to end her day on a bad note. Pun intended.

If they weren't hell bent in causing chaos and capturing another Archon's gnosis, Lumine thought they would have been a good singing group.

"Were you able to retrieve any information useful for you, dear traveler?" Zhongli asked as they began heading back to Liyue harbor.

Lumine thought for a moment, before replying. "Not much. But I did learn something interesting."

She turned around for a quick second and caught both Childe and Scaramouche overseeing their troops leaving at the opposite direction. They caught her staring at them shortly.

And Lumine cutely winked at them, loving how they were then caught off guard by her gesture. With Childe looking like he was sputtering something before Scaramouche began to drag him away with his giant hat obscuring his face from Lumine's vision.

Giggling, Lumine turns back around to catch up with Paimon and Zhongli. Excited to tell them about her time with the Fatui.

Author's notes:

Song parodied: 'A Girl Worth Fighting For' From Mulan soundtrack.

And that's that. I hope you enjoyed this story and looked forward for more parodies. I don't have an exact format yet of how I'll write the songs and the singing on the text. What I did now in this chapter, the dialogue style, is temporary until I find another easier or get more comfortable with this format for me to write characters singing.

Thank you for reading! See, you in the next chapter!

Fav, Follow and Commenting, is appreciated. But nothing rude or offensive of course. Thanks again!
