Summary
He leaned back against the sundial, his heavy lidded eyes never leaving the sight of the ruins of Mondstadt in the distance. How did this happen and why did his feet lead him here? He’s too tired to try and remember but he did have a small recollection of a certain bard urging him to come here despite his hesitance. He clutched the deep injury on his stomach as he let out a shuddering breath.
He closed his eyes momentarily and when he opened them again, he didn’t expect for a woman whose body is transparent to be kneeling down in front of him. He didn’t have the energy to ask, he only blinked his eyes slowly.
“Hello… star-pupiled child. My old friend must have told you to come to me as a last resort.” the woman said as she smiled so gently. “Do not worry. I’ll grant your deepest wish and I hope this would be enough to change the outcome of this… dreadful war.”
He felt her hands cradling his face in a motherly manner and he closed his eyes. The last thing he remembered was a soft touch on his forehead and the cool and yet comfortable wind surrounding him in an embrace.

Summary
In an attempt to weaken Mondstadt’s defenses, Khaenri’ah plans a strike on one of its border towns—however, the plans are uncovered by Mondstadtian spies in its early stages, and Mondstadt’s foundling younger prince volunteers to personally lead the counterstrike out of a sense of duty and survivor’s guilt. Tragedy strikes in the attempt, and Mondstadt is left reeling in the aftermath.
Deep in the centers of the Art of Khemia not long after, a newborn deity awakens, chained to the ground, remembering nothing but his Celestia-granted name and his domain, and strangely drawn to an oddly familiar place in the northeast.
A grieving prince is tormented by visions of one only recently dead, soon realizing there’s something more to them.

The Seedling Years. by Horrifying_Forest_Entity
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
05 Sep 2025

Summary
"The Seedlings Years": Kaeya is small, secretive, and sharp — and Crepus sees right through him. But instead of demanding loyalty, he offers safety. As Kaeya adjusts to a life in the warmth of the Dawn Winery, he and Diluc slowly grow from awkward strangers into something like brothers. This story follows their childhood, Crepus’s struggle to protect both his sons, and the first cracks in the walls Kaeya has built around his heart.
"A Star Planted in Red Earth": When Crepus Ragnvindr finds a strange, shivering boy in the rain, he quickly realizes this child is no ordinary orphan — he's a remnant of Khaenri'ah. But instead of turning Kaeya away or using him as a tool, Crepus makes a choice that will alter all their fates: he takes the boy in as his own.
This series reimagines what might have happened if Crepus had known Kaeya's origins from the start — and lived. From Kaeya’s first days at the winery, growing up beside Diluc as brothers, to their later years as knights of Favonius uncovering corruption in Mondstadt, this is a story of found family, trust hard-earned, and the slow, difficult healing of a boy raised in shadows.Series

Summary
“I’m over it, I promise. I’m excited for my blood moon,” Kaeya tried to sound as cheerful as he could.
“Kaeya, no one is asking you to ‘get over’ Ajax’s death,” And there it is, no more beating around the bush. It was such a silly thing. Kaeya had fallen in love at the age of 20 and never really fell out of it.
“I know,” is all Kaeya said before he started to lead the way home.
OR
Kaeya is about to become a full fledged vampire during his blood moon, but a certain presence keeps haunting him and bringing up a person he thought was gone for good.

Summary
(NOTE: this happens before Crepus’s death.)
In the Ordo, everyone answers to Varka; except for one man, who always seems to slip right out of any punishment for his questionable ways. That man is the Favonius’ Investigator, Eroch.
Unfortunately for Kaeya, Eroch is not a good man; especially to those who look like foreigners.
(Basically Kaeya being discriminated against by racism! Things become hard when Eroch constantly embarrasses him and makes harsh comments on the job. Luckily he has a good family who will legit kill anyone who hurts them. Happy people of color month, guys!)

Summary
Diluc would spend hours sitting beneath the statue nearest to home until one of the maids had to drag him back before dark. The statue felt so much bigger when he was a kid, towering over him. It should’ve been intimidating, but Diluc found comfort in that soft face, those closed eyes never judging him.
- - -
Prompt: “A young Diluc realizes he has a puppy-love crush on The Anemo Archon Barbatos. He's smitten with the statue, the stories, all of the varied depictions. An adult Diluc tries to deal with the fact that the Anemo Archon he used to have a crush on is now the drunkard bard that frequents his bar.”

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
“It was all my fault. I’m so sorry, Dad. I'm so sorry,” he sobs. “You were so much better than I will ever be. I don’t know how to do this without you here. I don’t want to.”
Diluc falls to his side, curling his knees up to his chest. “You could have lived, and here I am instead, wasting everything you gave me. I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t know what you’d want me to do.” His breath hitches, and another wave of tears rolls down his face. “I’m all alone.”
--
Suffocating under the weight of grief and feeling disconnected and lost, Diluc's passive suicidal ideation starts to develop into something more concrete. He's struggling with his father's death, what happened to him during his time away, and the damage he's done to his relationship with Kaeya. Forgiving himself seems impossible, and it's getting harder and harder for him to get out of bed every morning.
Meanwhile, Kaeya just wants his brother back, Adelinde wants Diluc to stop running headfirst into danger, and Jean wants her childhood friend to smile again, and they - along with some new friends Diluc makes along the way - are determined to show Diluc how loved he truly is.
