    Summary

    Ten years

    Ten years since Diluc left Kaeya for dead.

    Ten years Diluc has spent chasing after a ghost, for reasons he doesn’t care to examine.

    When an accident sends him falling into the Abyss, Diluc winds up in the heart of a thriving Khaenri’ah, where he finds none other than Kaeya himself occupying the throne. But while Diluc searches for a way back home, he finds himself forced to contend with a centuries-old curse barring his way–and only one person he can trust to help unravel it.

    Now joined together by a fragile alliance, Diluc finds himself working with a man he once hated to uncover years of buried secrets, whilst trying to avoid the growing feelings between them.

    Oh, and did he mention Kaeya’s fiancé?

    Or

    The longfic in which Diluc and Kaeya solve an ancient mystery and flirt a lot along the way. And discover that said mystery may have farther-reaching consequences than they thought.

    Summary

    Kaeya is accused of murdering Crepus, both he and Diluc fleeing their home.

    Eroch sends forces after them to start a war between Khaenri'ah, Sumeru, and Mondstadt. Anything to make more money.

    Kaeya stretches out on his blanket on the sand, looking up at the skies. It’s not noon yet, and they’re in a hole, the rock walls lifting up all around them, so the sun isn’t on their faces by any means. There’s still a nice, dry, heavy breeze.

    Summary

    Diluc and Kaeya had been working all day with no end in sight. Diluc was swamped with work neither Varka nor Eroch wanted to do, so Kaeya decided to help him. If they didn't finish in time, Crepus would be angry that they weren't home before curfew. Diluc didn't like making him angry.

    Thankfully, Crepus wrote to them telling the two he was heading out to Liyue for business, meaning they technically had no curfew. After writing to Adelinde, they finish their work and Kaeya is ready to head home, but Diluc, with a wine bottle stolen from the cellar, has other plans for the two that night.

    Summary

    Kaeya kept himself behind a carefully constructed wall so that no one would ever become too close to him and get burned like Diluc did ever again. Seemingly transparent, yet unreachable in reality. When he's ambushed out in the wild and finds the breath fading from his lungs, he thinks that it's almost not too bad. As long as Mondstadt is safe and Diluc is happy...what's the problem?

    And then he wakes up. Younger than he should be, different, and everyone who sees him looks like they've seen a ghost because Kaeya of House Ragnvindr died fending off the drake that should have killed Crepus. Diluc and Crepus refuse to let go of him now that he's appeared to rise from the dead. Kaeya is different from what they remember - he pushes people away, or tries to - but neither his sanity nor his resolve can keep up his guard around his own family.

    What's going on? Why is everything different? Why has his life completely changed?

    Maybe none of it matters. Maybe the only thing that matters is the fact he can start over and fall blindly back into the warmth and care he thought was gone forever. His father, and Diluc...who feels more deeply for him than he ever would have thought.

    Summary

    “Diluc,” Kaeya called.

    Diluc looked up at the other, a mix of lust and affection clouded his blue eye. Even in the shadows of the room, Diluc could still see his handsome features.

    “Yes?” Diluc whispered.

    “Happy New Year.”

    The clock’s first chime rang and Kaeya plunged into him.

    Summary

    *Origin story of Genshin AU: Twin Archons. (https://archiveofourown.info/works/38862771/chapters/97183827) just note that there's already a few changes from this AU crossover like Estella's name being Stella, etc.
    *Part I focuses on Kaeya. About his time in Mondstadt and his time in Khaenri'ah. Also included Khaenri'ah's official visit to the other nations

    Khaenri’ah in this AU is ruled by two archons, Zenith and Stella. They are mostly known for their nicknames ‘Aeth’ and ‘Lumi’. The royal family of Khaenri’ah is also close with them, especially their son who has been blessed by the Twin Archons. The Prince’s right eye is gold because of the blessing, matching the eyes of their archons.

    Peace in Khaenri’ah didn’t last when Rhinedottir’s rebellion started. Because of this, the Twin Archons had asked their friend, Barbatos, to keep the Prince in his land while Khaenri’ah is still in a war.

    Edit: For some reason, images are not loading again x-x I'll fix it again soon, sorry about that!
    Edit 2: I ran out of inspiration and motivation to continue this fic so I'm taking an indefinite break from it. I'm sorry! 😭

    Summary

    Nearly four years have passed since Diluc left Mondstadt to pursue the truth, and retribution.

    Acting Grandmaster Jean Gunnhildr reaches a dead-end in her investigation of the Darknight Hero, a vigilante rumored to protect Mondstadt from the shadows.
    His identity cannot remain unknown any longer. Justice must never be meted out by the hand of individuals.

    Barely returned after a few stolen hours of much-needed rest, Jean is met with trouble on her path back to the city. A chance encounter with a hooded stranger reignites the cold trail and brings her face to face with the prey she had been hunting.

    An old friend she had not expected to see again. Once familiar, yet no longer the man she remembers.

    (Set nearly two years after the events of Losing Us. Read that one first to understand!!)

    Summary

    Summary

    "Diluc," Kaeya whispers, and it's like he's caught in a dream when he says, "I want to do it." Diluc stares at him, the reds of his eyes dilating.

    "You… huh? What?"

    "Sex," Kaeya says more bluntly, releasing the ribbon to, instead, draw his arms around Diluc's neck, moving slowly, deliberately, despite the blooming warmth in his cheeks. “Let's do it.”

    Summary

    Whumptober 2023 - Day 6 (Late)
    Prompt chosen: "It should've been me."
    -

    Diluc sat in the corner of his bedroom, still covered in blood, shaking as he stared at the wood. He didn't want to move. Images of what happened flashed through his mind and made him feel sick.

    He had to tell Kaeya.

    Sure, he would be mad, but he would understand in the end, wouldn't he? If Diluc explained why he did it, Kaeya would understand. He had to understand.

    The thought was naïve. He could never understand.

    "I am disowning you." Kaeya seethed, knuckles white as he gripped his sword.

    Diluc pushed himself to his shaky legs, eyes wide in disbelief. He thought his brother would comfort him and hold him close as he cried, but instead, he was bleeding, crying, and being driven out of Mondstat because of him.

     

    -

    In an alternative universe where, instead of Kaeya telling Diluc about his past, Diluc tells Kaeya that he had to mercy-kill Crepus. In a fit of rage, Kaeya disowns him and kicks him out of Mondstat. 6 years later, Diluc returns and guilt Kaeya had pushed down for all that time he was gone begins to resurface.

    Summary

    Diluc has been keeping a scandalous secret from his family. He doesn't know why he'd let it happen the first time, nor why he feels excited instead of anxious, awaiting the end of the month - when his hips began to ache and his feelings became... complicated.
    But he waits for that monster to crawl through his window and take him again when it was time. He thinks abut him when he's gone and curses him silently for teaching his body what it meant to want.
    Because as hard as it was to admit - Diluc had come to desire Kaeya more than anything before.

    Palinoia
    (n.) the obsessive repetition of an act until it is perfect of mastered

    “Diluc, why are you obsessively training?” He asked, a hand on Diluc’s shoulder, which the redhead wrenched away from, and he finally broke.

    “I have to! I have to be perfect! I have to master the claymore and my Vision- Everything has to be perfect, or else he’ll be disappointed! He’ll think I failed! I have to make Father proud!” He admitted, and Varka and Kaeya grew quiet.

    Diluc works himself to the point of injuring himself just to make his Father proud.

    Summary

    After Kaeya gets fatally wounded during a practice cavalry battle, young Diluc has to come to terms with the fact his brother is dying. The only problem? Kaeya is vehemently insisting he isn’t and is going to be fine.

    Maybe he'd have better luck convincing Diluc if he had told his family about his immortality earlier.

    Summary

    “Goodness…how could anyone leave a child here?”, asks a warm voice. It snuffed out the cold for him, even for a moment. He finds a maid crouched by his level. She was holding an umbrella for him and for her. Her free hand was open to him, offering to lift him up. After a few seconds of keeping her hanging, he finally took it and stood up. She presses her hand by his back while guiding him towards the doors he's fixed his lone eye on.

    He sniffles. That very rainy night, Kaeya's performance began.

    A never-ending one.

    Summary

    Being a captain isn't easy, and a grave mistake during his early months as a captain has led Kaeya to believe that he could never live up to being as good as Diluc was.

    Cavalry Captain Diluc made no mistakes and was loved by many.

    Cavalry Captain Kaeya was an incompetent man.

    Despite that, Kaeya still tries too hard in trying to prove himself. Diluc worries for him.
