Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
16 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Kaeya swatted his shoulder. “Gods, sometimes I forget how insufferable you were as a teenager.”
“And yet, here you are.” Diluc grinned. “Does that put your mind at ease though?”
“That you’re a feral whore ruled by his desires?”
“Yes.” Diluc nodded, suddenly solemn. “That.”Series summary: Five years after Master Crepus's death, Kaeya finds himself at Dawn Winery on a whim. What he doesn't expect is Diluc's sudden apology for the fight that broke their friendship. What ensues is a series of angst, shenanigans, and the reignited flames of romance that never quite died for either of them. Can they put the wounds of the past behind them and make their second chance at love work? And while the pair are trying to navigate their tenuous new relationship, will they also be able to stop the shadows that stalk Mondstadt...ones that get bolder by the day?
Part 5 summary: In which Diluc suffers a minor crisis, and Kaeya discovers something sinister afoot during Weinlesefest.

"It's Just a Game!" by HiddenFlowersStillBloom
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Genius Invokation TCG. It was a fun new card game that Diluc had the absolute pleasure of hosting for the losers that couldn't play at Cat's Tail. It was all Kaeya's fault - like most things are.
Diluc sighed as he watched them play and they weren’t even playing it right. Like they had tossed all the rules in the air. It’s just a game. But still, couldn’t they at least try to play it correctly? They had made up their own rules and ideas and everything. It was annoying.
Oh well, at least the day was almost over.“Master Diluc! You’re fighting Kaeya right now!” the kids said with a smile.
“Diluc uses a phoenix wing flame attack one million!” the kid said, slamming the card onto the table.It's just a game. It's just a game.

A Promise Made and A Promise Kept (Chaeya story) by LisaFolixa
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
12 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Kaeya was not an emotional man. He did not let himself get close to anyone, for fear of repeating his mistake a third time. He'd been first abandoned by Khaenri'ah, and then once more by Mondstadt. Both times because he had been too honest, both because he had gotten too close. In the cold clutches of Snezhnaya, Kaeya now had a third chance. Where he could find closure on his previous life, and where he could begin anew.
When he recognizes Lord Tartaglia in Liyue during his escape to Snezhnaya, it is both a blessing and curse. On the one hand, this could be his best chance to learn the language and have an in with the Fatui so he could find some answers on his father's death, disappearing after. On the other, it signals to him that the Tsaritsa has plans for him, confirmed by the Vision now on his hip. He could be walking right into a trap laid out for him, walking into a plan made to ensnare him when he could simply keep walking and avoid all of it. When he ultimately decides to approach Tartaglia, he does so only to get what he needed and to leave without a trace.
Kaeya could never have known that the Harbinger would be his path to salvation.

Summary
Years after everything fell apart, Kaeya and Diluc are forced to work together on a high-stakes mission. Cold silence hides old wounds, and every step forward unearths what they buried - laughter, loyalty, and betrayal. A story of broken brotherhood and slow reconciliation.
"Once, I called you brother. Once, I thought the chance to make you laugh was all I ever wanted."

Summary
Basically my take on Diluc and Kaeya's (mainly diluc's) backstory. It starts with Diluc waking up on his 18th birthday and I'm not sure how far I'll take it. I guess we'll see together.

Summary
How is it that you go about defining good and evil?
Kaeya is no evil man, but that does not mean that he is a good person. His past sins do nothing but fuel the fire he’d been trying desperately to put out. But what else can he do when words have been said and actions have been done?
“You and me, we are the same—moths drawn to the flame, and burned.”

Summary
Kaeya felt so confused. How could Diluc smile so brightly with that Fatui harbinger, but hate him so much for it!? He doesn’t understand.
Or
Kaeya finds out about his brother’s secret relationship with the 11th Fatui harbinger, and he’s more upset than Diluc thought he’d be.

Tags
Summary
The first time Kaeya tried setting his brother up with someone was when they were about twelve years old.
Despite Diluc being the older one between them, he insisted on keeping up the childish belief that girls were stupid, romance was dumb, and sword-fighting was just so much more interesting than courting.
And sure, Kaeya wasn’t particularly interested in courting anyone either, but his reasons for avoiding it differed a lot from Diluc’s. He ignored the bashful looks both girls and boys alike gave him for practical reasons rather than childish ones, because he knew both parties involved would only end up hurt if he indulged in such things.
Kaeya didn’t bother with romance because it would only break him more once the truth came crashing down on him, destroying whatever life he’d built here for himself; Diluc didn’t bother with romance because he was an idiot.

bullyinghelping Diluc with his love life and goes about it in all the wrong ways, and the one time he does it right.(Or: Diluc is aroace and Kaeya isn't as observant as he'd like to believe).

Summary
Kaeya Alberich, a loyal Knight of Favonius, has spent years preparing to hunt and kill the wicked Faeries lurking beyond Mondstadt’s borders. So when he discovers one entombed in crystal deep in Dragonspine, he doesn’t hesitate.
He must kill it.
But his touch shatters the ice, awakening not just the Faerie, but something far worse: a Witch. Thrust into an ancient war of magical affinities and mythical talents, both of his most dangerous enemies bring a fate worse than death, but Kaeya has no choice but to bind himself to the very creature he was raised to despise.
Humans and Faeries were never meant to coexist. Let alone fall in love.

Summary
“You do realize that allowing an alpha to smell your natural scent is tantamount to a proposition. Proper perfumes should be used to subdue that odor, even out of heat, as the raw scent of an omega is enough to distract any mature alpha.”
Kaeya pointed his empty skewer at Surgess. “That sounds like a you problem.”Series summary: Five years after Master Crepus's death, Kaeya finds himself at Dawn Winery on a whim. What he doesn't expect is Diluc's sudden apology for the fight that broke their friendship. What ensues is a series of angst, shenanigans, and the reignited flames of romance that never quite died for either of them. Can they put the wounds of the past behind them and make their second chance at love work? And while the pair are trying to navigate their tenuous new relationship, will they also be able to stop the shadows that stalk Mondstadt...ones that get bolder by the day?
Part 4 summary: In which Kaeya trial runs honesty, causes far less drama than he hoped, and then far more than he anticipated.

Summary
Kaeya struggled not to shiver in the unaccustomed cold, feeling the constant drip of cold water from the too-high foggy ceiling - no, it was the sky here, he remembered - seep into his clothes and hair.
His father had left.
He was alone.
It was cold, and wet, and he was surrounded by things he barely recognized from drawings, and he was alone.__________
Or, the story of how Kaeya became a Ragnvindr.

Summary
Albedo slumped into the chair, arms still enveloping his own body as he didn't really look at Diluc who was inclined to him, one foot on the stanchion of the chair. ''So?'' The redhead urged him.
''What did you see?'', Albedo gulped, opting to analyze what the man knew first.
''I believe the whole thing?''or; Albedo's own past is slowly catching up with him. Telling Kaeya is out of the question and Diluc is confused. Their way will lead them to Liyue where a child is waiting for them. Unexpected things happen.

Summary
He couldn’t move. He couldn’t hear what Kaeya was screaming at him. All he could see was the bloodied face that was all too familiar. He stood there not moving an inch, in a rush and panic over everything he remained still, all colour drained from his face as the memories surged. Laughter, shared whispers, stolen kisses and the last time he saw him all mixing in his head making his knees weak and hands by his side shake.
“Diluc!” the scream coming from Kaeya rippled through the room, his voice cracking. “Help us, do something!”.
The maids were now running in with first aid kids, Adelinde holding up the man's head, Jean ripping the shirt off to assess the injuries and stop the bleeding. Everything was red, every surface around, the clothes, everyone's hands now covered by the blood. Diluc wanted to move, he wanted to help, he tried but his body did not listen, legs rooted to the ground, the man who faced countless enemies and danger now stood frozen in front of the figure.
It’s him. He is back. He is here. He is dying.

Summary
Rosaria snorted. “Well, I remember a rather vivid story you relayed one time while drunk. You insisted it was ‘some old Liyuan tale you heard,’ about ‘an orphan who fell in love with his best friend, but they were supposed to be siblings because they lived together, so they grew apart and never properly talked again.’ Oh, and you mentioned what gorgeous red hair the other boy had an unnecessary number of times. It wasn’t exactly subtle.”

Summary
By mid-afternoon, Mondstadt was in mourning. Over the last few years, the parents of nearly every eligible omega in town had tried to court Diluc Ragnvindr on their behalf. He was rich, handsome, powerful—“the uncrowned king of Mondstadt,” according to many—and single. One of those things had changed though.
