Summary
He clenches his fists, wrists digging into the blunt edge of his restraints. The cuffs clink when he forces his arms to relax.
Kaeya’s gaze snaps his way. “Fancy meeting you in such an upscale place,” he says, amusement rich and entirely false. It’s at odds with the blizzard forming in his eye as he scans Diluc from the crown of his messy head to his bare toes. He tsks. “Though I don’t suppose it’s too classy a place if they’ve left you shirtless.”
Diluc allows himself to be taken hostage. Kaeya follows, because of course he does.

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
"I am deeply sorry for your losses," Diluc says, and he genuinely sounds remorseful in a way that makes Kaeya want to kick this Knight's teeth in. "I did what I could, everything that I could to—"
"But you failed," the Knight drawls out slowly, every word laced with hatred and venom as he steps forward, jabbing a finger into Diluc's face. "You were a little brat way in over their head, tryin' to meet expectations you could never live up to. And their blood will always be on your hands. My friends, and your father's. You couldn't even be man enough to stay at our sides. You ran off like a whiny little baby who just wanted his dead mommy and daddy."
Heat fills the tavern, as if a bonfire had been lit in the center.
Kaeya moves first.

Summary
They start talking one day.
Out of nowhere, without prior motivation other than the fragment of a drunken conversation two loud scholars were having by their side almost an hour before any word was exchanged.A simple: “Domestication isn’t a bad thing,” Kaeya had muttered against a glass of wine, pretending Diluc hadn't told him he was closing half an hour ago.
“Domestication changes an animal irreversibly,” Diluc responded with a rag in one hand and a wet glass on the other, also ignoring the fact that he was supposed to close half an hour ago.
//or; one of the many wips I have where Diluc and Kaeya simply talk about senseless shit as one does

Summary
"I’ve heard that the former Cavalry Captain was far more capable than the current one. Well, that’s only natural, considering he carries the prestigious Ragnvindr bloodline… But he’s left the Knights now, hasn’t he? Why is that?"
"I’m terribly sorry, but even regarding those who have resigned, we are still bound by confidentiality obligations."
"Ha! Confidentiality obligations! What a grand phrase. Sounds more like there’s just something inconvenient for you to admit! Did you perhaps resort to emotional blackmail on your foster brother? Or maybe you’re holding something over him, threatening him with it? Ha, I don’t even need you to say it—I can tell. That’s why you’re no longer allowed to carry the Ragnvindr name, isn’t it?"
A story about a Cavalry Captain who remains professional despite being harassed by an annoying bloodline supremacist mob character, and a former Cavalry Captain who is significantly more outraged about it than the target himself.
