Albecrose

Albecrose is the het ship between Albedo and Sucrose from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Attached to the Knights of Favonius, Albedo is the Captain of the Investigation Team and Chief Alchemist, while Sucrose works as his assistant with a focus on bio-alchemy.

As his assistant, Sucrose looks up to Albedo, respects and admires him to a fault. She thinks that Albedo is very talented and smart. Sucrose tries her best to support him, while doing her own research. The purpose behind it is what she calls a little secret, as she wants to create her own wonderland - just like the ones in fairy tales.

As for Albedo, although Sucrose says herself her purpose of research is a bit of a secret, he states that he more or less understands why she is so dedicated to her research in bio-alchemy. He says that working with Sucrose is quite pleasant, but complains about how stubborn she is outside of research, as she often refers to him as "Mister Albedo", despite Albedo himself telling her numerous times to just call him by his name, since they are about the same age.

Both Albedo and Sucrose spend most of their time as a recluse. The first due to his slight distaste for talking with other because of the trouble needed to maintain the social relationship, though he does not stutter like his assistant. The latter, Sucrose, expresses that "Talking is hard, so much than alchemy" due to her fear of offending someone or sounding impolite, because each personality is different.

Princeps Cretaceus
At the start of Albedo's Story Quest, Traveler meets Sucrose, who praises Albedo and his many skills. Upon hearing his accomplishments, Traveler and Paimon decide that they want to meet him. Sucrose tells them to look for a refined gentleman with the presence of a true scholar and bids them farewell.

The Chalk Prince and The Dragon
In Act I, Traveler sees Sucrose outside of Dragonspine so Traveler went to Sucrose to see what Sucrose was doing. Sucrose said that Timaeus and her were helping Albedo researching data. Sucrose tells the Traveler that she feels that Albedo is keeping a secret from her and asks the Traveler to try and discover the secret that Albedo has.

In Act IV, the Traveler and Paimon went to see Albedo in Dragonspine but Albedo wasn't there. Traveler then came across to Sucrose, Sucrose asked Traveler if they have discovered Albedo's secret, the Traveler then showed the Festering Desire. After the Traveler and Sucrose came across to Reckless Pallad, The Fatui came. After the Traveler defeated the Fatui, Albedo came because he heard the ruckus and came to check. Sucrose then apologizes to Albedo, Albedo said it's not trouble that worries him, Albedo was concerned about Sucrose's safety.

Windblume Festival
During the Windblume Festival, the people of Mondstadt offer Windblumes to Barbatos and to those they love and adore. The Windblumes may be accompanied by other gifts, such as love poems. While there is a romantic overtone to the Windblume Festival, Windblumes are not gifted exclusively with romantic intent. The Windblume Festival is also an opportunity to improve any and all relationships that people have. The Windblume flower never physically existed. In present day, the true form of the Windblume flower is a topic of debate. Everyone has a plant they deem their own personal Windblume. The Anemo Archon Barbatos supports the freedom for all individuals to choose their own Windblumes and does not name any particular flower as the Windblume, even going as far as to say that Windblumes are simultaneously everywhere and nonexistent.

In act III of the Windblume Festival, Traveler talks to Timaeus to discuss his poetry homework, however, he was unable to start it in the first place because Sucrose tasked him with helping her at desciphering an ancient alchemical recipe for what she claims is a "Windblume", as for Sucrose, something about it being "extremely precious" made her think of it.

As per her request, Traveler then goes to see Albedo at the campsite outside of Dragonspine with Venti. Albedo then asks Traveler to gather ingredients. After Traveler has gathered the ingredients and Albedo has made the recipe, what Paimon recognizes as a "Big Sweet Flower" stands on the alchemy table. Albedo laughs and says "it really does make me think of Sucrose." and Venti nods with "Huh, it does seem like something she would like."

Once the Traveler goes back to Mondstadt to see Sucrose and Timaeus, and shows her the result of Albedo's alchemy, she uncharacteristically starts talking very excitedly and fast, claiming "This is the Windblume of my dreams... a Tetratanic Sweet Flower. Bigger, stronger, sweeter and more beautiful - a perfect Teyvat species!" "Whatever people say, this is my Windblume!". To wich Timaeus adds "Sucrose...is consistently Sucrose.", before she leaves to search resources for her flowers.

In act IV of the Windblume Festival, at the end of the act, there is a cutscene and Sucrose waved at Albedo and Albedo waved back at Sucrose, and Timaeus.

Quotes
"Sucrose? I think I more or less understand why she is so dedicated to her research in bio-alchemy... Either way, I'm happy to see her succeed more and more in her endeavors."

- Albedo Voiceline about Sucrose: Direction

"Working with Sucrose on alchemy research is quite pleasant, but she has some... stubborn qualities in regards to certain aspects unrelated to research. For example, I have told her numerous times to just call me "Albedo" since we are about the same age, but she insists on addressing me in an excessively formal manner. ...Whatever she prefers, I guess."

- Albedo Voiceline about Sucrose: Habit

"As his Assistant I learn so much each and every day. What's key is not his existing knowledge, but his talented way of thinking. No matter how complex the task at hand, his way of thinking ensures he gets to the bottom of it, and is able to explain it thoroughly. His methodologies are amazing... to me, its where alchemy meets art."

Fanon
Albecrose sailed due to their interactions in the game, their character story's and voice lines. In AO3, there is about 100+ Fanfictions. Albecrose gained attention due to the 1.2 update of Dragonspine. It is Sucrose's most famous and Albedo's second popular ship. It's rival ship is Kaebedo who is currently Albedo’s most popular pairing. However, Kaeberose, the polyamorous relationship between Kaeya, Albedo and Sucrose also exists.

Because Albedo gifted a Windblume to Sucrose during the festival, some fans interpreted this a romantic gesture although some other fans interpreted it as a nice/friendly gesture made from the professor to his assistant.
