ChiLumi
Tartaglia/Lumine
Childe is the only character who fights the Traveler at full strength and then cheerfully invites her to dinner afterward. His genuine fondness for Lumine, despite serving the Fatui who oppose her, makes the pairing a built-in conflict of loyalties. Writers thrive on the tension between his battle-hungry sincerity and her guarded mission to find her brother.

ThomaTo
Kamisato Ayato/Thoma
Thoma serves as housekeeper and fixer for the Kamisato Clan, and Ayato is the elusive commissioner who trusts him with everything from politics to teatime. Their canon dynamic of unwavering loyalty and quiet scheming translates naturally into romance for fans. Stories often explore the gap between master and retainer, and what loyalty becomes behind closed doors.
1,500 works →
XingYun
Chongyun/Xingqiu
Xingqiu is a bookish prankster from a merchant family and Chongyun is an earnest exorcist cursed with too much yang energy, and in canon they are inseparable best friends. Their voice lines tease each other constantly, with Xingqiu dragging Chongyun into schemes the exorcist pretends to resent. The fandom reads their friendship as first love in slow motion.

KazuScara
Kaedehara Kazuha/Scaramouche
Kazuha carries the dying wish of a friend who was struck down challenging the Raiden Shogun, and Scaramouche is the discarded puppet whose existence ties into that same storm. The wandering samurai's serenity against the Wanderer's rage makes for a striking contrast pairing. Fic often follows Scaramouche's post-Sumeru search for redemption with Kazuha as the one person patient enough to walk beside him.
6,000 works →
HaiKaveh
Alhaitham/Kaveh
Sumeru's blunt Scribe and its bankrupt genius architect are former university partners who had a spectacular falling out — and now live in the same house. Canon hands shippers everything: a shared past project, constant public bickering, and the fact that Alhaitham quietly covers Kaveh's debts while insulting him. They are the Akademiya's most famous divorced-but-cohabiting couple.
9,000 works →
Wriolette
Neuvillette/Wriothesley
Fontaine's gentle dragon-sovereign Chief Justice and the wry warden of the underwater Fortress of Meropide share tea, secrets, and an easy mutual respect in canon. Wriothesley is one of the few people who treats Neuvillette as a person rather than an institution. Fic leans into their unhurried, adult dynamic — two powerful men who run a nation's justice system and unwind together afterward.
6,000 works →
ZhongVen
Venti/Zhongli
The Anemo and Geo Archons are the last two of the original Seven still walking Teyvat, with millennia of shared wars, dead friends, and wine-soaked reunions between them. Venti's flighty bard persona and Zhongli's stately consultant act hide two ancient gods who understand each other like no mortal can. Writers use their immortality to explore grief, memory, and companionship across eras.
4,000 works →
CynoNari
Cyno/Tighnari
The General Mahamatra's terrible puns land on exactly one sympathetic audience: Tighnari, the sharp-tongued forest ranger who scolds him and patches him up anyway. Canon establishes them as close friends who visit, banter, and look out for one another across Sumeru's desert and rainforest. Fandom fills in the long-distance domesticity between Cyno's patrols and Tighnari's Gandharva Ville.
3,000 works →
GanQing
Ganyu/Keqing
Ganyu is the half-adeptus secretary who has served Liyue for three thousand years; Keqing is the young Yuheng who believes humanity should chart its own course without gods. Their offices make them colleagues, and their philosophies make them perfect foils. Fic loves pairing the overworked traditionalist with the reformer who insists she take a break.
2,000 works →
NeuviFuri
Neuvillette/Furina
Fontaine's Chief Justice spent five centuries judging the Archon performing on his court's stage, never knowing she was a lonely human carrying a divine lie. After the truth breaks at her trial, fic sends him to her door with apologies and cake.
