Summary
Every five hundred years, the soul of the Phoenix reawakens to blaze forth in the darkness.
Which is just great if the new Phoenix absolutely despises having unwanted attention drawn to him.

Summary
Let Me Be the One to End This: (PART ONE)
"He was remade to be admired, not loved."☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
He was meant to be a hero. Instead, he became a broken masterpiece.Diluc returns to Mondstadt shattered—body and mind twisted by a merciless, Unknown entity obsessed with him. His wounds heal, but the scars inside only deepen. When his fury explodes, the world mistakes it for passion—and one woman believes his pain is a secret love letter meant for her.
But behind closed doors, Diluc’s world is unraveling. Starved, haunted, slipping into a deathlike sleep that feels like vanishing, his only hope lies in Mizuki—an empath brave enough to dive into his shattered mind.
Inside, Mizuki finds no refuge—only a haunting dreamscape crumbling into darkness, guarded by something ancient and cruel, learning to turn his trauma into art.
In this twisted mindscape, trauma lives, breathes, and creates.
And Mizuki may not be here to save him—she might just be the next piece in its dark masterpiece.

Summary
Phoenix was quick and ruthless, silencing their prey before they even had a chance to scream. Their hair fanned out behind them, and Tartaglia couldn’t tell where it ended and the spilled blood began. He blinked, the image seared onto the back of his eyelids, and when he opened his eyes again, Phoenix was gone.
OR
During a chance encounter with Snezhnaya's most wanted, Tartaglia realizes just how much the two of them have in common. Within minutes and despite everything, his supposed enemy becomes his role model. But can he handle acknowledging the blood that stains both their hands? In the end, both must make a choice between duty and family, and perhaps begin the journey to redemption.
ORRRRR
I went insane a few months ago when brain discovered the crazy amount of parallels between these two characters. Like don't even get me started because I already wrote a fic about it, and I hope y'all enjoy!! <3

Summary
Even now, that hasn't changed; Kaeya can see it, tonight, as Diluc works the bar and wipes at the various glasses, that something is off. Only now, he had about five more years worth of baggage and trauma weighing on his shoulders, threatening to crush him. Vennessa knows how Diluc's mind had been handling that — especially during the redhead's journey, likely completely alone.
. . . Kaeya really doesn't want to picture that.
OR; Diluc has a breakdown, and Kaeya is determined to pick up the pieces. However, Diluc is not the only one who desperately wishes to have his brother back.

Summary
Diluc was secretive about his time away from Mondstadt. Kaeya knew this all too well, having spent countless evenings in the tavern with his questions dodged and unanswered. Anytime something remotely related to his travels was being talked about, the topic of conversation was switched.
Though, when an unfamiliar man came in one night claiming he recognized Diluc, things changed.

Summary
Diluc Ragnvindr is going to die.
He's well aware of the fact that, at some point, everyone's time arrives no matter how early or horribly unfair it is. Though in his case, he's shocked that the situation he finds himself in now hadn't happened sooner. He'd gotten lucky countless times, managing to survive without a single Mora to his name, a single connection while roaming Teyvat, or a family to call his own to save him. And now. . .
Well. It seems that now, everything that he had done, everything he had said since he had turned eighteen was finally catching up to him, all at once.
Diluc was used to ambushes. He'd lost count on how many people had tried fulfilling the bounty on his head within Snezhnaya; he was a highly sought after fugitive for how many Fatui soldiers had died by his hand. The Tsaritsa herself wanted the man and, truthfully, he laughs at the sentiment.
This ambush, though. . . he had no chance. Not on his own, and not with a weapon so volatile that it had been corroding his hand and arm down to the very muscle and bone for the last three years. Not when it was the Harbingers themselves after him.

Summary
The Anemo Archon is walking the perimeter of the winery, tongue out to catch snowflakes, slim form enveloped by one of Diluc’s coats. The Anemo Archon is flesh and blood and addicted to alcohol. The Anemo Archon loves him. It’s like a fairy tale, and if there’s one role Diluc never imagined himself cast in, it’s Prince Charming.

Summary
You often keep your balcony doors unlocked at night.
It's an old habit, if a little dangerous. While the curtains remain undrawn and the window panels stay closed, you tend to refrain from touching the latch. In the back of your mind, you know you should be better at keeping yourself safe; despite being born and raised in Mondstadt, one of the safest places on Teyvat, Favonius Knights still preach about practicing self-defense and preparatory action.
But you have good reason to.
~~
you're lovesick and you've been in a state of depression ever since diluc's father passed away. you get fucked by your feelings first. then diluc fucks you in your sleep after being absent from your life for so long. you both discover that you're into this. yes, you're both freaky asf. yes, you're both okay with it.

Summary
The uneasy atmosphere permeating the air wasn’t something that could be ignored. It was unbearably heavy, and it seemed to stress everyone out and create tension. Kaeya could definitely feel that tension– it was why Jean snapped at him, why everyone seemed so high-strung, and why there was a persistent chill running down the back of his neck and spine.
Also, wait. Where did the Fatui go?
This was something to investigate.
—----------------------
Or, to summarize, a disruption to a Fatui scheme leads to a massive hostage situation, which could end all semblance of diplomacy between Mondstadt and Snezhnaya.

Summary
"We..switched personality?" They both stared at each other in confusion.
"Or maybe in a sense that's what your personality supposed to be like." Albedo hummed.This caught both brothers interests, curious and a bit ridiculous. "What it's supposed to be?"
"If like you had told me.. before the fallout."
So it was before that night.
Diluc being the happy energetic kid and Kaeya being the shy and quiet one. Well, that was before —
To say that they switched personality now, It doesn't add up quite well though in here, still what a twisted curse.———
Stumbling upon a gemstone after a fight, Diluc and Kaeya was left wondering what the abyss were scheming. It's suspicious, annoyingly bothersome.
More unsettling when they're both got caught up in the blinding lights of the stone, that seems pretty harmless at first but as days goes by, small changes were seen by the people around them. Something that the brothers didn't think could even happen nor do they want acknowledge it.
So, what exactly is it?
Notes- For anyone who has already know, yes, I'm continuing this story :)

Summary
Diluc had left Mondstadt on his own about two months ago. He left, telling everyone he would be back in a month. But he couldn’t go back. Not as he was. He had started losing track of time, and the days blended together. At least that was the case until late into the night, when he heard a familiar voice,
“Diluc?...”

Diluc is a vampire and Kaeya don't mind that as much as he does

Aprilluc 2025: Day 23 ~ Promise
--
“Kaeya holds the back of their clasped hands to his chest and finds Diluc’s gaze. “I promise I’ll be back for you. I promise. And you have to promise me you’ll stay alive until then, okay?”
Diluc’s lips press into a thin line.
Kaeya’s lip wobbles. “Please, Diluc. Promise me.”
It feels like yet another shackle around Diluc’s wrist – barring him from the mercy of the easy way out, should he need it – but the clock’s ticking, and Diluc refuses to let Kaeya get caught, so he forces himself to nod. “Okay, I promise. Now get the hell out of here.”
--
When Il Dottore finally gets his hands on Diluc, Diluc doesn't think it can get any worse... until he sees Kaeya laying on the floor of Dottore's lab.
Will the brothers be able to escape? Or will Dottore grow bored of his experiments and send Diluc to an early grave? Can promises made be promises kept?

Summary
Diluc has always stood alone, purposefully aloof and isolated. Everyday, he’s burdened with unimaginable guilt, both from past endeavours and the demons that whisper false truths into his ear. He doesn’t want his burdens to fall on anyone else’s shoulders. He can’t let anyone in.
So when Ayato and Thoma arrive in Mondstadt on diplomatic business and Diluc witnesses just how close the pair are, he can't help the bitter flame of jealousy in his chest.
He tells himself he doesn’t want what they have. He tells himself he doesn’t care.
He does.

Summary
Diluc has been gone for over 3 years. Kaeya tries to write him but gets no response until a letter shows up addressed to him. Diluc says Dottore has captured him and not to search for him since he'll probably be dead by the time he finds him. Kaeya doesn't listen, and now he's sitting across from Diluc in one of Dottore's prison cells.
Dottore makes Diluc tell Kaeya everything he has done during his time away.

Summary
Taking a deep breath, Diluc opened the front cover of Kaeya’s journal and braced himself as he skimmed the first page. ‘To D:,’ it started, as all of Kaeya’s letters did, ‘If you are reading this, then I am dead.’
An unfortunate tragedy unintentionally spawned a hidden journal detailing Kaeya’s life in full actuality. With unearthed truths and unspoken feelings, Diluc navigates his brother’s perspective through a new lens, trying to salvage what little relationship they had despite being far too late.

Summary
"He's truly mesmerising, isn't he?" A statement that set everything in motion. If not for Albedo's involvement, his sneaky meddling, the restrained little feelings Kaeya has always held for a certain red haired young master would have never come to fruition. They would have rotted, perchance withered away into nothingness as Kaeya tried to move on with his life, but nothing escapes the Chief Alchemist's sharp nose.
However, the journey is not an easy one... When dealing with difficult personalities, there is some rough terrain to get through. And some up and down levels of bullshit as well. Horrors of which not even the sharpest of wit could have predicted.
One finds themselves asking the question 'how can not one, but two grown men manage to be this childish?'
