    Summary

    “You’re not going to comment on anything we just saw?”
    Diluc was hunched over the tavern counter, his back still to him. “What is there to comment,” his voice was so quiet.
    “If you hate my existence that much, why don’t you kick me out whenever I go into the tavern?”
    Diluc whirled around. “Hate you?”
    //
    Or, through an accident, they both fall into a ley line rift that forces them to relive their memories together, while the Abyss hunts them.

    Summary

    Diluc was used to comments on his bland personality. Truly, he didn't mind it when it was a stranger. But Kaeya? Hearing those words from his brother stung more than he cared to admit.

    Summary

    The life of Captain Kaeya Alberich of the Knights of Favonius changes forever when a long-buried secret from his past is exposed by chance. His bloodline, a legacy tied to a nation long feared, turns the eyes of Mondstadt—including those he once called friends and family into mirrors of fear, doubt, and betrayal.

    Shunned and wounded by those who should have stood beside him, Kaeya struggles against the crushing weight of loneliness and pain, hiding it all behind a mask of sarcasm and indifference. Meanwhile, Diluc Ragnvindr, his estranged brother watches his downfall from afar, torn between the anger of their fractured past and the gnawing guilt that refuses to let him go.

    This is a story of suffering and redemption, of a broken trust slowly stitched back together. An intimate tale that explores how deep prejudice can wound and how strong the bonds of true family must be to endure, break, and finally heal.

    Summary

    It's—” she hesitates, pensive in what to say, and it is strange to see her hesitant in any way that Diluc dares not to interrupt her. “It seems I got ahead of myself and got excited.”

    Her face doesn't twist in an awkward expression, but her eyes don't really meet his, as she settles them in a part of his neck. He swallows dry, letting her gather her words.

    I have been wanting to see you and didn't realize that my element had enveloped you in that excitement. I'm sorry.” She settles with that and shifts her eyes up to his face, and there's only a gentle resignation in her eyes.

    In the edge of Dragonspine, an awkward but distant meeting takes place.

    Summary

    And I can go anywhere I want,
    Anywhere I want, just not home.

    Or: Kaeya always knew he'd die young. In his final moments, he hopes his death brings about some semblance of peace, much unlike the life he lived.

    It doesn't.

    Summary

    Kaeya had always been good at hiding things—
    including the one thing slowly growing inside him.
    Something he couldn’t stop.
    Couldn’t share.
    And couldn’t run from.

    Mondstadt saw his smile.
    But no one knew... what he was really fighting.

    Summary

    An accident in Albedo's lab sends Kaeya and Diluc back in time. As their younger selves drag them on all sorts of adventures, they have to pretend for both them and Crepus that the events that caused their estrangement never took place. (But they’re awful at acting and their father sees right through it.)

    His voice, when it came, was quiet—but it cut like steel. “I’m not going to let a child sleep his way out of a prison sentence.”

    Wriothesley can only help Diluc so much.

    Summary

    Kaeya wasn’t healthy. It was quite ironic if you asked him, being such a role model to any aspiring knight and yet,

     

    “... It’s nearly dinner time. Would you care to stay for a meal?”

    or

    Weinlesefest is usually a time for family bonding, and of course the wine aswell, and while Kaeya may love wine he's not very thrilled when Diluc invites him over for dinner.

    Summary

    "I'm s- sorry 'Luc, I- I didn't mean... I-"

    He sobbed harder, voice breaking so hard it was hard to understand him. Then he ran. Straight out the door into the dark. Leaving Diluc with his eyes wide and a hand outstretched.

    The whispers started then.

    And they continued.

    Never stopped.

    Upon hearing Diluc's return to Mondstadt, Kaeya doesn't know whether he's happy or sad.

    Maybe a combination of both?

    Summary

    Routines are something small. Something that makes him feel in control of his life. Diluc is used to live in a certain way. Changes are rare and he has a hard time adjusting to said occasional changes.

    But what'll happen when Kaeya suddenly starts avoiding him? Kaeya is part of his schedule, they have a script and Kaeya isn't following it. It's distressing and out of character.

    Kaeya is simply trying to let go of their broken relationship after trying to mend their past connections for the last few years. Diluc wasn't making any effort and it was frustating for the blunette to see the way he kept clinging to their past like a leech.

    Diluc does not take this well.
