EiMiko

EiMiko is a Femslash pairing in the Genshin Impact fandom between the Electro Archon Raiden Ei, and her friend and servant, Yae Miko.
== Canon ==
Raiden Ei and Yae Miko have a significant amount of interactions in canon and heavily reference each other in their own story quests; you can't talk about one without mentioning the other.
Ei and Miko share "an eternal friendship", as well as being master-familiar and God-devotee. They've known each other since before Ei became Inazuma's Archon, and Miko is one of Ei's few friends to survive the passage of time.
In Miko's words, Ei is "her erstwhile closest friend" and everything she does during the Inazuma Archon Quest is to save her and their country. Ei shows their closeness with actions: she chose Miko to be her servant of eternity, appointed Miko to guard the Thunder Sakura tree which is extremely important for Inazuma and trusted her to guard her gnosis. When they met again after a long time, Ei was so happy to see Miko again the sky in her "inner world" started glowing again.
== Fanon ==
EiMiko is one of the most popular femslash ships in Genshin Impact fandom, alongside Beiguang (Beidou/Ningguang), JeanLisa (Jean/Lisa) and Ganqing (Ganyu/Keqing). They're commonly headcanoned as married and sometimes as the parents of Scaramouche.
Fans enjoy the combination of Miko's mischievous personality with Ei's more aloof and restrained one. In fanworks, fans often play with their god-devotee dynamic, sometimes turning it into emperor AUs or modern glucose guardian AUs, the last one being popularized by a fanart for Genshin Impact's 2nd anniversary fan event on Bilibili; but more often than not they're depicted in their canon, canon-adjacent or canon-divergent setting.
Hurt/comfort, fluff and angst are some other popular tropes in fanworks.
