Hope you enjoy~

Kaeya

“And this beautiful lady is my dear wife”

This man lives to see people's reactions to what he does and says. So he bets to himself what your reaction will be to every of his crazy ideas, so maybe he teases you a lot and flirts with you shamelessly.

He went to Sumeru to represent Jean since she was very occupied. You, on your part,were assigned to protect him since he was an important diplomat of Mondstadt.

You tried to be as professional as possible but it was hard when Kaeya found every opportunity to flirt with you.

Kaeya is a gentleman around you, treating you like his date rather than his guard.

So he makes you relax, he makes you laugh with his comments. When he hears you were assigned because of your dexterity with the sword he gets interested in your story.

Where did you learn to fight? When did you start? Who was your master? You went to the akademya? You were a Mat, Matra? 

Kaeya gets really invested so you decide to answer his questions only if he answers them too.

And Kaeya is happy to reveal all of his stories and secrets to know you because you are not like most people, you don't get frightened when he says he once woke up a ruin guardian to win a fight.

“It a valid gamble” you say while nodding and Kaeya’s eyes bright like he just heard the most beautiful music of all Teyvat.

When Kaeya finally has to go back to Mondstadt you are informed that you will have the mission to bring him back to the capital of Wind safe and sound.

It was a long and tiring trip, you had to defend yourself and him more than once and Kaeya was more than happy to fight by your side.

There was only one problem in the last part of your journey: a Samachurl Froze your ankle and while you were able to kill it the frostbite was a problem.

Kaeya, ever the gentleman carried you to a safe place, the house of his childhood: Dawn’s Winery

He knocked at the door and was faced with a surprised Adeline, who hurried to get everything needed to help you.

Maybe an hour later Kaeya’s brother appeared and explained your situation, only that he presented you as his wife.

Diluc was taken aback when Kaeya presented you as his wife. He looked at his brother with a specially deep frown, making Kaeya say: “It was love at first drink”

There are three options: one were Diluc apologizes…

 “My apologize, it seems my brother hurt his head and is speaking nonsense”

Another option is if you are someone who is honest and you react nervously, denying his statement, Kaeya will laugh and tells you, in a joking tone, that you don't have to get shy, this is his brother!

The last option is if you act all composed, there's a chance that Diluc will smile and sarcastically play along, as you two chat, ignoring Kaeya who will definitely get touchy at the lack of attention.

If you laugh and play along with him, he will most definitely hug you by the waist and start calling you his wife for every goddamn reason he can think of.

“My wife would like a glass of water” “I can't give that to my wife” “Diluc, she is my wife be polite” Now Kaeya can't stop calling you his wife.

Diluc

“Carefull now, Mr.client, That's my wife you are talking about”

Diluc won't call you his wife if it's not true, so you are married to the Dark knight hero, the thing is: Almost no one knows about you two because Diluc doesn't want to put you in danger.

You two met at the Angel's Share. You were a knight of favonius, he was bartending.

You had gone there to celebrate someone's birthday, only that unlike the rest you didn't ask for an alcoholic beverage, you asked for apple cider.

While everyone got plastered you chatted the night away with Diluc.

Let me tell you, Diluc was happy to talk to someone who wasn't complaining about his life nor was drunk. It was one of the best nights of his life.

So maybe, when you forgot your vision on the bar to go help one of your friends, he didn't say anything, wanting to have a reason to look for you.

Oh, and he looked for you the next day!

Everyone was shitting their pants when they saw Diluc entering the headquarters. Everyone was wondering what he was doing there, if there was a crisis, if… wait, why was he talking to you?

Diluc gave back your vision and since that moment he found the way to get involved with you.

That being said, he proposed after two years of knowing you and the wedding was at the Dawn Winery and was very, very small.

Persons who where at the wedding: Kaeya, Jean, Lisa and Adelinde, besides the nun who officiated the wedding. (I said it was a small wedding!)

I mean, being Mrs. Ragvindir would put you up in the list of people to kidnap in Monstadt, not because of the dark knight hero thing, no, no, no. It's because of the mora.

He only calls you his wife because he has to instill fear in the bones of the man who dared to speak about you

What did the man said? “That Y/n, she has such a pretty ass, have you seen it?... Come on! She looks like such a slut with that skimpy clothes, I would love to spank…”

And Diluc is not going to let anyone talk about his wife, like that in his own bar.

Yes maybe you are a Favonius’ knight and yes it's true your ass is pretty, especially when you use shorts… but no one is allowed to talk about you like that, like you are nothing but an object.

Okay, maybe he can but only when he's alone with you in the middle of some dirty session of love making.

When he say those words, he’s totally saying them to scare the shit out of whoever dared to be disrespectful to you. Because, a menace from him is something to fear, he was the youngest calvary captainof the knights. He was a master swordman.

Diluc knows you can defend yourself, you probably will kick this drunkard ass, but he prefers to instill fear in people than have you getting in trouble with Jean.

Don't get mad at Diluc, he’s a bit overprotective of you because he loves you.

The man suddenly sobers up as soon as his ears registered Diluc words. He looks ashamed and regretful of his choice of words, he offers an apology and leave because it's so damn late!

As soon as Diluc sees you back home, he can't avoid looking at you with adoration only to confess his slip up the moment you two are having dinner.

The only thing you can say is: “It's about time everyone knows”

Zhongli

“Oh, Y/n is my wife, didn't I mentioned it?”

He was 3,000 years old when he met you. You were the prettiest living being he had ever seen. 

A minor Goddess with strong wings that adorned your back. A Goddess enslaved to be a gift to the lord of vortex, send heavily guarded in a caravan that happened to pass near the Guili plains thanks to an accidental detour

You were the goddess of Song and the Dawn, the bringer of peace after a nightmare.

Zhongli could forget even his own name but he would never forget your panicked expression when your eyes landed on him.

He was so damn tall, intimidating and serious that you had thought the Dragon wanted to keep you for himself.

However, Morax had opened the cage and told you in a stern and cold voice that you were free.

You were so afraid that you didn't step out until he got away from you. Then you flew away in the form of a bright and colorful bird.

 You didn't plan to go back to where he was but curiosity got the best of you, so you went back and watched Morax in silence from the distance.

The Adepti tried to scare you away unsure of how to deal with you stalking the prime Adepti. However, you didn't budge. Everyday you appeared in your bird form to sing to Morax and wake him up.

Slowly the adepti accepted your presence, they even started to try and get you to stay a little bit more since Morax started asking about the bird he has been hearing.

Morax one day woke up earlier only to tell you that you could stay for breakfast and since that moment you two started to eat together.

You were grateful to him and looked for forms to let him know, from giving him flowers, act as his messenger to the Yaksha and even sing for him. He had saved you from being a concubine of Osial, there was too much to be grateful.

Between this acts of devotion, Morax started to pay more and more attention to you and even when he didn’t understand his feelings he knew one thing: He wanted to keep you close and keep you safe.

Thousands of years were needed but you two ended up getting married.

Now, in all of this more than 3,000 years of Marriage he has called you Wife, but I really like this time when he forgot to introduce you as his wife because for him is common knowledge. Everyone knows Rex Lapis is married to the goddess of Song and Dawn. Everyone who is important to him knows you.

Those being, the adepti..

But the traveler saw you two eating together one afternoon. And they saw you walking together by the bay while holding hands. Another day he saw you clinging to Zhongli’s arm while he seemed to be explaining something to you.

They assumed you two were dating. They even got to speak to you for a commission, something about a ring made of noctiluose jade.

So Traveler being a little rascal started talking about you with Zhongli and he seemed to be happy to talk about you. 

“When are you gonna ask her to marry you?” Traveler asks mischievously and Zhongli laughs and say the phrase. 

The travelers gets all surprised but then asks how did that happened and Zhongli is proud to explain how he managed to ask for your hand.

Next time traveler meets you, they notice the ring around your finger.

However, they notice thewhole ring is made of Cor lapis.

As you notice their curious gaze you tell him the story about how Rex lapis made Cor lapis only to propose to you.

Which makes sense since Cor lapis literally means “Heart of stone”

Xiao

“Get your hands away from my wife!”

Xiao is not a man of many words, he’s terrible at expressing his feelings to everyone.

And I mean everyone, even with you. 

However, you should know that he will never call you his wife if he isn't married to you.

This is because he once heard Zhongli telling something along the lines of: “Marriage is the most sacred of contracts”

Now listed, you two met because of Zhongli/Morax. You were the first minor Goddess who relinquished your divinity to Morax and was left almost with no power, so Morax asked Xiao to take care of you.

And Xiao, being the obedient Yaksha he is, took care of you during the Archon War, and maybe that’s why you survived to such massacre.

As I have stated before, Xiao is bad with his feelings but it is good that you can basically read his emotions.

Your love story was a very, agonizingly slow burn, however when Xiao understood that you were never going to leave him, that you loved him and there was no way to change that, only then he gave up trying to get away from you… and he asked you to marry him.

For hundreds of years, Xiao called you his wife only when you two were alone. For him it was a term of endearment.

“Wife” oh, he says it with such softness and love, it makes you fall for him again! You don’t even mind that your marriage is practically a secret.

But there’s always a first time for everything. And the first time he called you his wife in public… It was something else. It wasn’t something born from his love and devotion, it was a warning.

For what felt like years he had endured listening to men flirt with you in Wangshu Inn. Every god damn male seemed to have the goal of stealing you from him. There were some female humans trying to catch your attention, but they were more subtle, smarter.

There was a man who pretended to be interested in your life as an adventurer, asking questions all the time.There was another who tried to catch your attention with food. There was a woman who wanted to take pictures of you and always told you, you were perfect. The worst one, was the one who tried to teach you martial arts.

You only accepted out of pure pressure, since he insisted so much. You were already an excellent fighter, only that you used a weapon of your choice.

The worst part was that he always corrected you, pressing his palm in your abdomen or your lower back.

Xiao usually didn’t pay attention since he didn’t felt jealous, he only peaked since you were making that little sound of annoyance you always did. That small “mhhh” 

When he saw that man putting his hands on your hips to “correct” your already perfect posture, he just lost it.

It wasn’t just his anger and frustration, that was his karmic debt taking control. In a second Primordial Jade Winged-Spear was in his hands and he attacked blindly. 

The man let go of you and tried to be a hero, only to be hit and cut by Xiao. Let’s be sincere, if it weren’t for you the “martial art master” would be dead, because Xiao is extremely strong.

Anyway, you fought your dear husband and pinned him to the ground until he calmed down. The “martial art master” ran away half beaten, forgetting about you.

Let’s just say, no one has flirted with you since that day.

New headcanon.

That Diluc and Crepus are alike in a lot of ways and I get the impression that Crepus also lived vicariously through Diluc in terms of “I couldn’t be a knight so you go do that” even if he may have had some reservations with the Knights himself but wouldn’t wanna alienate them because of his kids or because of business reasons.

That Crepus and Varka have a begrudging mutual respect for each other but do not agree with each other’s tactics.

Crepus, like later Diluc, finds the knights inefficient. That he was working to bring down the Fatui in his own way secretly. There is some underground vigilante anti-Fatui group that Diluc later joined because he has contacts in Mond when he gets back.

Diluc is a kid and delluded into thinking the Knights are perfect and Crepus doesn’t wanna crush his dreams.

Then reality happens.

That Diluc has noticed some corruption already and has his reservations and annoyances. That that night was his final straw. That he’s relieved to be out of the Knights but feels like he let his father down but also has a weird feeling that he did the right thing by him.

And that he later learns more about the underground efforts and just how stupid the knights are being and that diplomacy doesn’t solve everything.

But he doesn’t wanna alienate them too much because of his begrudging respect for Kaeya.

And also he’s annoyed and slightly jealous that Kaeya took his position.

He secretly wishes Kaeya would leave but if he told Kaeya everything he knows it would destroy him. Or he just wouldn’t listen.

Or that Kaeya does know and wants to change things from the inside.

Or he stays because he thinks that’s what Crepus wanted and actually sees Diluc as disrespecting their father’s wishes.

Or Kaeya stays because the knights treated HIM well, and he doesn’t have any other family left. They ARE his family. His dad abandoned him and he doesn’t know where his mom is (if shes alive). If he has other siblings they’re probably working for the Order. His adoptive dad died and his adoptive brother views him as a pushover for staying perhaps.) Let’s also not forget that Kaeya was probably pressured into doing whatever he was forced to do as a kid as being an heir to the Abyss Order basically. He probably doesn’t know HOW to say no or stand up against institutional injustice. Anything is better than where he came from. So he mostly just distances himself from the Knights by hunting treasure hoarders for fun and gathering intel because his position is literally useless.

I also think Jean’s hands are tied because she’s also barely legal and has too much pressure and is probably going off some some handbook and can’t reorganize things too much to not piss of Varka when he gets back. Plus they’re short-staffed. It’s very likely Varka groomed Jean in some way to succeed him and just put way too much pressure on this kid so now all she knows is how to work. Yeah I don’t like Varka lol.

For Kaeya it’s like “don’t bite the hand that feeds”. Kaeya leaving the knights would lose him EVERYTHING and he cannot risk that. There’s also a real chance that Varka knows about his past and if he leaves, he would become a target due to him being potentially dangerous.

It’s just a big mess all around and Ragbros+Jean are dysfunctional adults that had unrealistic pressures put on them as kids.

[merakiui]

pretending genshin is a canon game in twst, who do u think idia (or lilia, and maybe cater bc u cant tell me he doesn't play mobile games) would main? and do u think there'd be any characters he hates either based off their element, personality, or just their lore 💀

Omg omg I have been wanting to talk about this sort of concept recently, so thank you for the ask aaaaaa!!! Let's pretend that everyone in NRC is playing the hit mobile game Genshin Impact (so I can write about who everyone mains hehe)!!!!

Riddle mains one of the starter characters, whether Traveler, Kaeya, Amber, or Lisa because he rarely pulls, so as a result he's built the main four. But I think he'd save for Cyno reruns because Cyno administers justice in accordance with the law and Riddle's pleased to see a character so dedicated to upholding order and justice. He might also like Raiden Shogun because she's a tyrannical strict leader like him and somehow he relates, but then he learns she abandoned her creation and Scaramouche's mommy issues hit a little too close to home for him, so he's not sure if he likes her all that much anymore. He also likes Yanfei because of her ties to the law as well!

Trey mains Jean. When he co-ops with Heartslabyul, he's usually stuck playing a healer. Not that it bothers him, mind you! He enjoys it because he can be a tease and only heal when a select few (Ace and Deuce) are within an inch of their lives lol.

Ace mains Childe, but he sucks at aiming and so he usually relies on Childe's water blades. He likes to join Deuce's world under the guise of helping when in reality he's stealing materials. He's the type who skips all of the dialogue and story.

Deuce mains Heizou and he does play for the story! He likes it a lot, and he really likes Heizou's character and how he's a detective. He is terrified of the Raiden Shogun. 100% was screaming in terror during her battle when she locks your skills because his Traveler is not the best built. >_<

Cater either mains Mona because astrology besties stick together and he loves her aesthetic or he mains Xinyan because he loves the punk-rock vibe she has, both in design but also it's her passion! I think he's also a secret Xiao main, but he doesn't tell anyone about it.

Leona mains Dehya!!!!! He does not care what anyone says about her. Radish Sprout can stick his meta talk elsewhere because Leona isn't listening! He thinks Dehya is super cool and badass. Just to prove everyone wrong, he makes sure to build his Dehya to be the utmost strongest. He doesn't pay the closest attention to the story, but he will admit there are some cutscenes that really do have him fully awake because of how cool they are. (He makes Ruggie play the story for him and do most of the exploring in his world to unlock teleports and domains.)

Ruggie mains one of the starter characters because there is no way he's spending his hard-earned money on pixels. He's entirely free to play, but when he gets to play on Leona's account he has lots of fun using all of the characters Leona has and perhaps even spending a little of Leona's Madol to wish on the banners. As a result, Leona has an unbuilt Cyno, Yae Miko, Eula, and Qiqi (he lost the 50/50 at some point).

Jack either mains Gorou, Albedo, or Noelle. I think he just really likes Geo the most, so it's his preferred element in a character. His characters are reasonably built (they're all better than Ace's builds, that's for sure). He doesn't play Genshin very often, though, so he's a little behind in the story.

Azul mains Yelan, Ayato, Dori, and Ningguang. He plays for the story and the collecting characters aspect. He's greedy, so he wants every character, but he's too prideful to whale. So he saves hoards primogems and uses them when he really wants a character or constellations. Somehow he's yet to lose a 50/50, much to Idia's annoyance.

Jade mains Kokomi. Yes, her crit rate and crit damage are absolutely insane. Yes, his Kokomi solos with wild damage. Yes, it's scary that Jade mains a healer who he's made into a DPS and never puts the jellyfish down when he plays with Azul and Floyd until the very last minute (though mostly he lets them die so he can smile innocently and say, "Oops. I must have missed the button.") He was really disappointed when Kokomi didn't turn out to be a merciless, villainous scheming tactician. In his heart, she is. :(

Floyd mains Wanderer, but it's only because he likes flying around like a little mosquito all the time. He does not care about the lore. He does not care about the story. He does not care about Wanderer's past. He is skipping the dialogue because he only wants to fight enemies and bosses. :/ he likes joining Azul and Jade's worlds at the most inconvenient times just to fly around as Wanderer while they're stuck in a cutscene LOL.

Kalim mains Nilou, Yoimiya, Itto, and Venti! He likes these characters because they all have such lovely, fun energy. He loves the story (he cried during some parts) and he loves every character and their designs and lore! He is a whale because he's weak to the pretty characters with their interesting stories, but he hasn't had time to properly build all of them. Kalim builds his characters based off of what he feels is right. Idia took one look at his account and died when he saw the builds. T_T

Jamil mains Sara or Zhongli! I think he might also be a secret Yae Miko main, but he doesn't tell everyone what characters he has or how strong they are. He rarely co-ops, instead choosing to stick to himself and enjoy the game in peace, but Kalim's always requesting to join his world and he can't possibly turn him down. T_T begrudgingly, Jamil lets him in, but his ego is boosted considerably when he's the one carrying Kalim during co-op. Genshin is one of the few games where Jamil actually beats Kalim in terms of character strengths and builds and he is very proud of that.

Vil mains Yelan, Eula, and Rosaria because he likes their fashion styles (Yelan's fur coat is the moment). He's a casual player, so he's not very far in the story and he returns to it if and when the motivation to play strikes him. Still, he will admit it's a very beautiful game.

Rook mains all bow characters, but his favorite is Tighnari. He loves to say he's playing both an animal of prey and a predator when he's out killing enemies with Tighnari in the open world or if he's just shooting down birds from the sky. Even in a game, his aim is precise and perfect. It's actually a little scary...

Epel mains Razor, Diluc, and Heizou. He loves punching things with Heizou. It's a lot of fun, and there's something about Heizou that gives him a confidence boost. Maybe it's because Heizou is short and cute-looking like him, yet here he is beating people up with his fists. Epel has a lot of fun with that type of play style!

Idia has every character. Do not try to talk to him about builds because his are by far the best and strongest. He has his favorite five stars at c6, which includes Keqing, Xiao, Ganyu, Kazuha, Shenhe, Raiden Shogun, and Zhongli. He's on a mission to collect all of the Archons and all of the Harbingers. He is so invested in the story and lore, but he didn't like how Inazuma was written. He mourned for days when Signora was killed because he was looking forward to her being playable. :( he does not understand the hype around Scaramouche; yes, he is a hater like that. </3 but he will admit Scaramouche's boss theme and the boss design itself goes unbelievably hard. A certified banger.

Ortho mains Sucrose! He likes that she's interested in a field of science much like his brother. Ortho likes all of the characters who are connected to science in some way (like Albedo and Tighnari). He also finds Wanderer's backstory really interesting and, on some level, relatable (at least in terms of not being fully human).

Malleus mains Shenhe because he relates to her being misunderstood (and lonely) and he also finds her backstory to be very riveting. He is also drawn to Zhongli because of how wise he is. Malleus could listen to Zhongli drone on and on about Liyue history because he finds it really captivating! His builds aren't the best, though, and he's not very good at fighting, but he loves the storyline.

Lilia mains Hu Tao. He loves her lore and also her design. He finds all of her morbid jokes incredibly fun, and he loves the contrast between upbeat personality with the funeral director job. The Inazuma arc reminded him of his days as a war general. He was very disappointed when Kokomi accepted help from that "anonymous benefactor." Tsk, tsk. Now look what that has cost you. >_<

Sebek mains whoever Lord Malleus mains because he trusts his lord's discerning eye when it comes to choosing characters. He won't admit it to anyone, but he is actually highly invested in the plot. Sebek will wither away before he tells anyone, though. He's only playing because Malleus is (or so he continues to say, but he does enjoy the game when he plays it on occasion).

Silver mains Ganyu. He relates to her tendency to doze off, for he is guilty of the same thing. He can't play Genshin for too long because he usually falls asleep while playing, so it can get difficult to sit through Archon quests. But he does his best because Lilia recommended the game and he wants to understand it a little more.

thoughts on this current quest! ! CARIBERT SPOILERS

good thing that we got a specific answer as to 'where was Khaenri’ah located' 

LOVED the tidbit about Kaeya trying to run away to Sumeru as a kid — as nice as living in the winery might have been, little Kaeya was still sentimental enough to risk that newly gained safety just to reconnect with his roots, very sad and revealing

...also, his absence caused a ruckus and Crepus personally went and took him back, which means either that he truly cared about his sworn son ...or that he had a yet unknown goal for him 👀

more confirmation for Kaeya being a little bit too much into alcohol since he tried every kind of liquor the tavern offered and appears to have a high tolerance (day-drinking even though he must have known that a difficult conversation with the Traveler and Dain was incoming)

on that topic, tbh im not sure if his excuse (learning about Sumeru’s alcohol industry and leading trade negotiations) was supposed to be just that, a lie that he came up with, or if genshin writers are this bad at writing excuses for characters to be places... like I guess 'alcohol import regulations' could be something that the Knights would do, but when Snezhnayan merchants wanted to import their firewater they went straight to Diluc, and overall this doesn’t seem like a worthy task for the Acting Grandmaster’s right-hand man

...unless it was supposed to be a vacation that Jean sent him on, but why would she want him to miss Windblume?

also apparently Diluc won’t be in Windblume either, so maybe this is something they coordinated on, idk

but yeah no, most probably Kaeya just lied and specifically went to Sumeru to find out more about Alberichs

anyway, he is as avoidant as ever, getting the small bit of info he wanted and immediately bailing on mc and Dainsleif (who seems like the type to reveal important secrets without meaning to, so it probably would have served him better to pry a bit more) 

i would have enjoyed it if they actually started arguing haha but alas

don't have a lot of thoughts on Dainsleif himself, his reaction to Kaeya makes sense considering his grudge against the Abyss Order

i still think that Kaeya might have ties not only to the Abyss Order (which he only confirmed for himself now), but also to the Fatui (which he might have known about all along), but that's all just theories

overall i really like that Kaeya doesn't seem to know that much about lore stuff — this gives him an opportunity to learn about it alongside us and have to actually grapple with his duties to either Mond or Khaenri'ah rather than it all happening in the backstory somewhere

also since we are told that Kaeya is Chlothar’s descendant that must mean: 1) Caribert was rid of his hilichurl curse somehow and later procreated  2) unless Kaeya is Caribert lmao but that would be too much?.. 3) in either case Kaeya has some Mondstadt blood in him too since Caribert’s mother was from there, tying the whole ‘bloodline’ issues together neatly

otherwise, yeahh, the usual unfortunate writing choices...

gasp did you just empathize with a character who stands against the current status quo? well, let's spend looots of time proving how unreasonable they are.. 

like it's not even a good play on the standard story of cults preying on vulnerable ppl, but who cares at this point

i guess it’s somewhat interesting when compared to Kaeya’s dad writing which made it sound as if Alberichs took over the responsibility of ruling over the survivors as soon as Khaenri’ah’s royal line was incapacitated, while this quest makes it seem as if Chlothar Alberich lived on his own with his cursed son for a while before he founded the Abyss Order 

which also means that they weren’t officially recognized as regents by the nation? hmm

oh and we didn't even get to see what's under a hilichurl's mask :/

we did learn a bit more about Khaenri’ah as a country, specifically that they had some serious divide between the ‘true’ Khaenri’ah bloodline ppl, the nobility, and the commoners, but im guessing this just leads to ‘it deserved to get nuked bc it sucked’

the gravity thing was fun, i liked it in Elden Ring and i like it here hehe, hope there's more of it in the future

but the dungeon seemed pretty cheap overall, especially that same reused statue prop lol Also man, imagine how fun it would be if the twins actually switched places and we played as the evil one for a bit. It would make the dialogues so much more interesting...  Because yeah, the writers should really stop making so much of the story revolve around the mc when they still don’t have much of a personality or specific motivations. At least our sibling has a goal in mind.  But yeah, no. Anyway!!

Your Relationship with Kaeya

Kaeya x gn!reader (no pronouns used other than

"you" )

Warnings: some NSFW things in here, Minors DNI! Blank and ageless blogs will be blocked!

A/n: I know i usually dont write nsfw but its Kaeya. This man is just a walking nsfw post. (Repost because the other one wasn’t showing in tags 😞)

Before you guys even started dating, Kaeya would flirt with you. In a different way than he did with others I should say. He was genuine with what he was saying to you, “Y/N, you look amazing today! I love the way you look today” He would say as he passed you in the knights headquarters. His hands would linger just a little longer than they should when he would pass by you in a confined space. At every meeting he would search for you and try his best to be near you. obviously this didn’t go unnoticed by you, so you would flirt back sometimes which just gave the man so much hope!

Though he loves flirty and teasing you, if you ever mention that you are uncomfortable with it he will stop or at least ease off on how much he does flirt/tease you.

He is the type to get jealous over anything, even if you aren’t together, he still considers you his. If he get jealous he wont tell you. He will just ignore you until he feels better. He has very high expectations. Sometimes when he ignores you, he can see that it hurts you but he’s stubborn and wont stop.

When you finally became a couple, he tried his best to make it memorable. That day it was raining so he had the idea to use his vision to try and make the rain into snow. He failed. But that doesn’t matter as it was the thought that counted for you.

Kaeya keeps secrets. We all know this. He has his secrecy’s, he will keep them. Even from you. It doesn’t matter what your relationship is with him, you will never know everything. You one timed tried to ask about his past and his home country, that was a mistake as it resulted in a 3 day fight and silent treatment. It took Jean to finally have him speak to you just because she couldn’t handle the tension that was emanating from the two of you. She has since asked that any future fights be left at home.

He really dislikes being vulnerable, even around you. He thinks it makes him weak. (Which it doesn’t but he hasn’t know anything else) you help him with this though. When he finally started to open up about his relationship with Diluc and their father he started to break down, which in turn made him shut down about the topic. But Y/N to the rescue. You helped him open up and express his emotions. He cried in your arms for a few hours that night, but it was all worth it in the end as he has now learned its ok to be vulnerable.

Kaeya has been through so much, he’s the type to want constant reassurance that everything is ok with your relationship, that you really love and care for him, etc.

The constant need for reassurance had an effect on his love language

He loves and I mean LOVES physical touch. He will always without fail have his hands on you in someway, arm around your waist as you walk around Mondstat, holding your hand across the dining table or in meetings, an arm around your shoulder while standing in Angel Share, you name it. Holding you makes him feel safe, makes him feel secure in the relationship as if he will never lose you.

*If he could, he’d have you sitting in his lap 24/7, giving you bruising kisses and small open mouthed kisses on your neck and jaw line, he absolutely ADORES leaving marks all over your body. His favorite place to leave marks is the soft spot on your jaw right below your ear, as well as all over your chest/neck. He likes to make a game out of it and tried to make different shapes with his hickies. He’s very possessive, not that it bothers you though, you’ve come to love it especially with the girls throwing themselves at him on nights out, but he just causally walks up to you and starts sucking a new mark on any exposed flesh.

*Kaeya is a kinky motherfucker, He loves to edge you and overstimulate you till he has you begging and crying for him to let you have your release. Whether he lets you though, thats a different story. Now if he denies you the orgasam, you better listen, if not you’re in for a long night and be prepared to have to take a sick day the next day because he will leave you unable to walk.

He would 100 % fuck you in public. Alley ways during patrol, his office, your office, the library when lisa is gone (or not depends on how risky he’s feeling) He would shield you in his coat as he fucks you senseless. Good luck walking home Y/N, this man is carrying you the rest of the way home.

If he doesn’t have the time to do anything with you, he loves giving you random kisses throughout the day. Whether he’s passing you in the knights headquarters or out in the streets when he’s on patrol. He will always stop and give you a kiss. His favorite is cheek kisses cause it leaves you fluster and smiling to yourself after he leaves.

Kaeya isn’t the player everyone thinks him to be. He is and will always be loyal to the one he’s with. He loves you too much to hurt you in that way

Y/n you are one lucky person to have this man in your life.

uhhhhhh can i get a.... Diluc #1, 3, 8, 17, 32, and 46? oh, and a 26 with Kaeya. aaaaand a large 25 with a side of 27. to go.

Canon I outright reject

So I'm not sure if there's a canon I outright reject - I do reject his cute baby face though, I am not going to lie.

I also outright reject that he's twunky and is more masculine. Thicker, muscular, but he is short.

Obscure headcanon

He is passively suicidal with very little to no self preservation (this is seen in canon, he actively puts himself in danger). If he were to die, his thoughts would not really be on the idea of survival but more, "Oh. Well, this is okay. Retribution for my own sins."

Also a sillier, cuter one: he makes anonymous donations to the new animal shelter in Mondstadt and has a big soft spot for them. The winery is just crawling with different critters and he has named each and everyone, including the pigs, and that goddamn rooster that chases him every morning. (He also likes to keep an eye on Diona if Kaeya cannot - makes sure she gets to Springevale safely if she's working at the Cat's Tail).

He has nightmares about the night he killed his father and is still hesitant to ever celebrate his own birthday.

I DO NOT KNOW if this is obscure either BUT it was Arlecchino he fought and it was Yelan who saved him and recruited him, tyvm.

Unpopular opinion about them

He's still good game wise. He's still fun, and Diluc is actually an incredibly nice person deep down. If anyone ever pays attention to the dialogue or have read his lines will know that he's a gentle soul, and there's still bits of the old him that comes out, but unfortunately he's learned to hide it and push it away.

Since fandom treats this as canon even though it's more a misunderstanding, I'm gonna say this:

Diluc does not hate Kaeya. Diluc is awkward and uncomfortable and awful with feelings, things are tense between the two of them but in no way does he hate Kaeya. In fact, he still cares about Kaeya (a lot) and vice versa. And will work with him on need to know basis.

ALSO he's not a dick to Venti. He's a lot nicer than what he lets on. His comments about Venti's bill is just him making jabs, Diluc is not the best in the beginning with joking or teasing so it falls short. Yes, he gets annoyed with Venti - quite often - but he respects Venti and does view him more as a friend and a guide than, "that annoying, homeless bard who keeps stealing from me". If he actually had any sort of issues with Venti pilfering from the Winery or leaving a large, open tab, he would actively do something about it. Archon or not.

He's not an asshole, he's emotionally repressed.

Quotes, songs, poems, etc. that I associate with them

Monster, No Longer You "My heart cracked in my body." Rupi Kapur, The Sun and her Flowers “ i have everything and yet i am unhappy. ” Rupi Kapur, The Sun and her Flowers "i barely feel like living." Rupi Kapur, The Sun and her Flowers you are a wild, unkempt thing

Something guaranteed to make them smile/laugh

He really, really adores dad jokes. Animals. Lumine's presence (as the Traveler). Kaeya

The person they most admire

Adelinde. And Jean.

What they would do if stuck in an elevator with Kaeya

So - they wouldn't be stuck in the elevator for long. Both of these men - for as much as they care about each other in their own way - will work together to get the elevator unstuck. They're both very smart but Kaeya is the better planner, the brains if you will, while Diluc is the brawns.

They'd work quicker than the cops or fire department.

3 things they’d want to take with them if they were dropped off in the middle of nowhere

His Vision, some clothes, his claymore. He's had experience in the wild before, he knows how to survive. It'll suck but maybe there will be less bloodshed this time.

Their guilty pleasure

Romance novels.

(actually being interested in the day to day gossip of Mondstadt that has nothing to do with the Abyss Order or Fatui)

light novels from yae publishing house the isekai ones with the very long names leave him alone

Diluven Fankids: Aster, Cecilia, and Dande

If you saw the first version of this post, no you didn't and no it didn't take me a literal hour to retcon anything. Trust me bro. Underneath the cut is all the text written out! Plus some bonus info. I wasn't planning on posting these, but i spent enough time on them that I figured why not.

These are Venti and Diluc's kids: Aster is the oldest (Hydro Claymore), followed by her twin Cecilia (Electro Catalyst), then their little brother Dande (Dendro Sword). They're not exactly human, but they're also definitely not wind wisps; Venti has been adamantly not thinking about it, or the fact that their hair changed colors once they got their visions.

On top of Uncle Kaeya, Uncle Ajax (Chaeya ftw), Aunt Jean, and Aunt Lisa, they see Dvalin as a big brother and Andrius as a grandpa.

Diluven Fankids

Twins: Cecilia and Aster

Their hair is a slightly darker red than Diluc's, and their tinted hair is purple for Electro and deep blue for Hydro instead of teal for Anemo that Venti's is.

Cecilia

Electro Catalyst (Aunt Lisa taught her)

Quieter than Aster, but not shy

Wants to inherit Dawn Winery

She insults people to their face, but does so using flowery metaphors that most people take as a compliment instead.

Plays the piano (taught by Diluc) and the lyre (taught by Venti)

She has a bit of a mischevous streak

Diluc is proud of her intelligence, but wishes she didn't insult clients and business partners to their face. He encourages her when she starts insulting Ajax, though — it's not like he's figured it out, and Kaeya seems to get a kick out of it.

Venti is glad she likes playing music with him, and was the one to teach her poetry. He's glad she's putting it to use lol, even if he occasionally has to reign her in when she gets a bit too mean.

Aster

Hydro Claymore (taught by Diluc and Uncle Ajax)

Outgoing and loud

She learned the trumpet from the Traveler

She can also play the lyre, but doesn't like that it makes her fingers hurt.

Joined the Adventurer's Guild, but secretly wants to be an Outrider like Amber.

She's extremely friendly and kind, and she loves making new friends!

Diluc is proud of how hard-working and kind she is. He feels guilty that she won't join the Knights because she doesn't want to disappoint him.

Venti is proud of her kindness and loves when she talks about her newest friend. He's about ready to sign her up for the Knights' Exam himself because he wants her to be happy, but knows it's better to talk to her about it first.

Dande

His hair is a very dark red that's basically brown, and his hair is tinted green for Dendro.

Dendro Sword (like his idol, the Traveler)

Introverted and Curious

Plays the lyre like Venti

He's part of the Adventurers' Guild and absolutely loves it

He doesn't like talking to people outside his family, but is friendly and polite when it happens.

He gets into a lot of trouble because he likes to explore and uncover secrets and ancient knowledge.

Diluc loves him very much, but wishes his self-preservation wasn't constantly overwritten by his curiosity. Letting him meet the Traveler was probably a mistake.

Venti loves to tell him stories and bring him to hidden or forgotten areas of Mondstadt, but is worried that he's going to stumble upon Forbidden Knowledge someday. He's toyed with the idea of sending him to the Akademiya, but wants to bring it up with Lisa and Diluc before approaching Dande with the idea.

[mists-reading-nook]

Don't mind me asking again about the bodyswap au—

When you talked about unstable passageways, and a life that wouldn't be peaceful forever, I thought some people from Teyvat were going to come to Earth and try and retrieve Kaeya thinking they found him but they get Reader instead cuz well, body swap, so Kaeya has to explain the body swap situation and stuff goes on from there. I thought people from Earth would get *too* curious about the oddities of Kaeya's body.

But instead the disturbance to the roommates peace is wholly psychological (sans the "chronic illness"). A distant, empty threat. Nobody from Teyvat comes to them. Nobody comes to retrieve them. Yeah they maybe see news reports or social media posts of seelies from Teyvat and a weird tunnel, maybe read conspiracies, some roping in the Genshin Impact game, but soon enough all physical evidence of Teyvat's connection to Earth is gone with the wind. (What if they learned of it all after the connection severed?)

There's also the nightmares Reader gets (do they end after Teyvat completely dies or—?), Kaeya's hair and eyes that never existed on Earth, and the duo's own memories.

This is infinitely more terrifying than people just shoehorning themselves into Kaeya and Reader's Earth life. It's the destruction of a world they want to forget, to ignore, and believe is wholly FICTION! but doesn't allow itself to remain that way as it dies. An apocalypse they let come to fruition because they can't bear the sight of that accursed planet which troubled them so.

Let's talk about the other side now. Diluc's demise implies that after the Reader left Teyvat, the people Kaeya was closest too suffered most from their disappearance. Salt in the wound since they know Kaeya went missing and think he's dead.

Speaking of which, how many people know better than to think Kaeya's dead? Did they notice the "Kaeya" acting off post-Bodyswap but pre-faking death? Is the Reader's ability to falsify a death imperfect tipping people off to a bigger picture? How many people pursue the truth? How many just want to find his body? Get justice for Kaeya?

Venti. Does he involve himself since he hears everything thanks to the wind and knows Kaeya isn't dead? Does he ever know or suspect that a body swap happened? How deep does his knowledge ever go? Does he ever figure out the severity of the situation at all?

Who notices the connection between Kaeya's absence and those closest to him suffering the most during the apocalypse?

What does Dainsleif think of whatever knowledge he has on this clusterfuck? What does the Abyss Sibling think? What bout Traveler? Celestia? Kaeya's biological family? The entities of the Abyss?

How close does anyone get to the truth?

How many people fall for the Reader's scheme and live with the "fact" that Kaeya is dead with only his dead vision as proof?

As Teyvat continue to die, are any alliances forged that wouldn't have occured in a healing Teyvat? What alliances fracture for the same reason?

Hehehehehe bodyswap au <3

Lemme answer these one by one..

- Reader gets a final nightmare after Tevyat dies. It's Graphic,more Graphic than any of thier other Nightmares. After that,they only get a couple of short Nightmares here and there. It's strange,because the Nightmares go from every night to every week toevery month. They only get a lucid one once in a while,and whereas before they couldn't wake up,they now wake up at random points. You know those "falling from a building" dreams,where you wake up just before your body hits the floor? Yeah like those dreams

-Plenty of people find Kaeyas "Death" suspicious,but no one can figure out why.

-Jean is one of the most suspicious,considering Kaeya went from fine one day,to having his deactivated,bloody vison the next. She does try to figure out what happened,but even though the evidence isn't adding up,she can't pursue answers. Mostly because of her own fear and guilt,and mostly because of the fact that she didn't even consider the Abyss.

-I don't know too much lore,but I imagine the Aybss twin is confused. It's like that one scene in the lion king "everywhere the light touches is our kingdom",except the Aybss is technically the Aybss twins kingdom. The Aybss pathway is "what the light doesn't touch." So Reader is getting chased for trespassing in the twins kingdom,but they only get chased as far as the pathway. Because "no one survives the pathway in one piece". Honestly,not even reader knows how they survived the pathway. (They didn't,but that's an explanation for another post)

-lots of people look for the truth,and they try to look for his body,yet they don't succeed. Plenty come close,but unfortunately,not close enough.

-As many people are suspicious,many just accept it as a fact of life. Some are suspicious but decide not to question it.

-I think that in an effort to protect thier nations (in the final stretch,when Tevyat is truly dying past saving),archons either

A. Try to get thier gnosis back

Or

B. Give thier gnosis up to the fatui,in an attempt to get help/resources

-Venti in particular knows what's going on. He knows where "Kaeya" went,but decided not to go after him. What a big mistake that was.

[fatesresonance]

10/25/22, archived from Twitter ONGOING Asexual Diluc and the trials that come with it

―――

Diluc knew that he wasn't normal from a young age, but he didn't fully comprehend it at the time. When others were giggling and blushing about other people, gossiping about first kisses, he didn't understand.

It was okay, though. He didn't have to understand, as he was still young - he was only 11! He still had time, and when he was grown up, he'd start feeling the same way.

He was content about it at first. Maybe a little confused and lonely, but he was okay. 

Things went downhill when age thirteen hit and suddenly Kaeya was starting to act the same way as they did.

Blushy. Eyes wandering boys and girls they met, watching them leave. Making small comments on how their ass looked, or that they were cute as hell.

Diluc became overcome with a sour jealousy he didn't understand the source of. It infested him, constricted his chest and made him want to cry because of how bad he felt.

He was 13. Kaeya was 13. Why wasn't Diluc the same? Why wasn't Kaeya looking at Diluc like that too? 

Kaeya crawled into bed with Diluc one cold night and curled up to him, back to back, feet to feet.

"Luc?"

"Hm?"

"Have you ever wanted to kiss someone?"

Diluc swallowed. Did he? He couldn't recall the urge, but he was recalling the /want/ of it. 

"How come?" Diluc asked instead.

"I can't stop thinking about it," Kaeya replied. "And, um... Other things."

Diluc craned his head. "Other things?"

"You, uh. You know." Then, in a shushed, embarrassed voice, "Sex."

Why did Diluc feel so disgusting right now? 

Not... Not disgusting. But wrong. Uncomfortable. It pooled thick in his gut and Diluc wanted to escape.

"Oh," he said.

Kaeya curled up in a ball behind him.

"Have you thought about it? I know you and Jean are close."

Gods, not like that. He was still only 13.

"Do /you/ think about it with someone?" Diluc asked in return.

"Um..." Kaeya tensed.

That was a yes. Diluc didn't know why his heart dropped. Why he wanted to squirm.

They dropped the conversation entirely. Diluc didn't sleep well that night.

Diluc didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't know why Kaeya's words echoed in his brain and made him want to crawl out of his skin.

All he knew was that he felt... completely separated. Isolated.

He hoped to grow up quickly. He was tired of being lonely. 

After Kaeya, Diluc began to notice just how rife his peers were with it.

Couples made out in the HQ hallways and not-so-secretly played with each other in the library. Individuals complained about being single, gossiped about who banged who. 

Diluc kept his mouth shut, of course. He wasn't a snitch, nor was he a prude.

Why couldn't they keep it in their pants? How could they be so damn horny? They're only 13. They're children.

And then they're 14. And 15. 

Diluc felt eternally stuck as a child. The world went on without him.

At age 14, Crepus sat Diluc and Kaeya down at the table with a book and a cup of tea.

"I think it's time I give you boys the talk," Crepus said, "for when you need it."

Crepus gave Kaeya a knowing stare. Diluc didn't want to think about it.

He opened up the book - one of reproductive cycles and 'the birds and the bees' - and began an agonizingly long conversation.

"Who you engage in it with doesn't matter," Crepus said. "Boys or girls, both are completely normal. You have my, Elzer's, and Adelinde's full support either way. It's important you stay safe, though."

"Why do we need to learn now?" Kaeya asked, cheek to fist.

Crepus looked at him and sighed. "You two are growing up, as much as I don't want to admit it, and it's inevitable you will want to become intimate with someone. It's better you know for when the time comes rather than scramble and make risky mistakes."

When. Not if.

Crepus, after conveying it all with detail, went on to explain that 'those' feelings are normal too. That it's a fact that both of them would become interested and aroused by someone, and it's important to communicate.

Honestly, some of the details blurred for Diluc.

Diluc understood the concept of him being with someone in the future. He understood it was a fact and this information would prepare him for when he made that decision.

As time went on, that concept became more and more estranged from himself.

Age 15.5, Diluc felt like none of that applied to him. Not really. He couldn't picture himself right now courting a cute boy and becoming intimate, or even kissing him.

He felt, once again, isolated. Stuck in his own little bubble.

One afternoon, shortly after training with the Knights ended, Diluc made the way up the stairs to use the bathroom and wash off.

He was alone, or so he thought, until soft moans and giggles reached his ears from the corner breaking away from the main hallway.

Diluc pursed his lips, huffing, and continued walking. Whatever. Kids will be kids, and they will be stupid.

He unfortunately had to pass them on the way to the bathroom. Diluc couldn't help but spare a glance.

His heart dropped in that very instant.

Kaeya had a boy their age - a blondie with green eyes - pinned against the wall by his hips. Their tongues were down each other's throats with roaming hands, feeling what they pleased. They were clumsy, but driven.

Diluc wanted to vomit.

He turned the other direction and left.

He... He didn't know what to think or feel. He didn't know what the correct reaction was. Diluc only knew that heart shattered.

Maybe he'd fooled himself into thinking Kaeya was the same. Overlooked his obvious interest in others and those activities–

and was sorely mistaken until evidence proved otherwise. It made sense. Diluc was lonely and the brain is weak.

If Kaeya was like this, then Diluc should be too. They were hip to hip close, so much so one didn't end without the other beginning.

So why couldn't Diluc grow up?

He laid in bed that night, tearing himself to shreds while staring blankly up at the ceiling, still dotted with glowing stars from childhood.

Diluc was not normal. He concluded that with finality. There was something wrong with him and he needed to fix it.

He didn't know how to fix it. He didn't know how to make himself like everyone else - relationships, sex, intimacy - and he didn't know why he was... wrong, from his very bones.

Broken.

Did Kaeya know he was broken?

Did Kaeya know how fucked up Diluc was? The damn boy was nearly of age and he hadn't held hands with anyone besides Kaeya.

He hadn't done anything with anyone besides Kaeya. He loved Kaeya more than anything in the world. He was his first priority.

Diluc angrily pushed down his lounge pants and took himself in hand. Maybe if he just made an effort and tried, this would all be proven wrong.

He wasn't a broken boy. He was just... not prone to being aroused? Yeah, that had to be it.

Diluc wasn't a stranger to touching himself. It was an occasional activity to rid himself of tension and relax himself at night - so when he bit into his pillow and sighed from the sensations, he thought the troubles were dissipating.

Diluc had no one in mind.

He tried. He picked random strangers he'd feel less guilty getting off to and imagined a scene of them fumbling in bed. It did nothing for him.

He tried picturing characters from his favorite books. He picked scene illustrations, strangers, conventionally attractive people. 

Nothing.

He picked Jean.

Nothing.

He picked Kaeya, in a fit of desperation.

His heart fluttered when something in him stirred. A bad taste formed on the back of his tongue, but he couldn't care.

He wasn't unfixable, he wasn't wrong, he wasn't–

The sparked flutter died as quickly as it came when his fantasy got into the thick of intimacy.

Nothing.

Oh.

Diluc /was/ broken, wasn't he?

He tucked himself away, unfulfilled. Diluc cried a lot to himself that night.

Diluc couldn't look Kaeya in the eyes for several days. All he could see was Kaeya making out with another boy (that wasn't Diluc) and the (unjustified) hint of betrayal (for what Diluc conjured in his own thoughts), plus a reminder of the fact he discovered. 

Diluc was defected and there was no way to fix it.

But, as life does, it went on. The world continued to spin even though Diluc felt stuck in it, forever 11 years old.

He had to move on.

Diluc wasn't a fool. He knew the way Kaeya looked at him now - disappointed, let down, confused - when Diluc avoided him for the next week.

It was for the best though, wasn't it? Kaeya was growing up. He needed people on his own level.

He needed people that weren't Diluc, and who wanted him, and who could give him what he wanted.

At the end of that week, Diluc sobered up and kicked himself for being such a mopey, whiny baby. Kaeya didn't deserve to be ignored for something as stupid as Diluc's own insecurities.

"I'm sorry," he said softly, unable to look Kaeya in the eyes. Crepus raised Diluc better than that, but he couldn't bring himself for eye contact. "I've been unfair to you."

Kaeya looked at him, lips set into a sad frown. "Why are you avoiding me, Luc?"

Diluc swallowed hard.

"I, um."

Barbatos, he was gonna make an ass of himself, wasn't he? Diluc felt ashamed just thinking of admitting the reason. It was so stupid and foolish.

"I saw you with that boy. In the hallway."

Kaeya paled. "You--You did?"

Diluc wrung his hands together. 15, yet 11. "Yes. I didn't... didn't know what to think. So I avoided it." What went unsaid was, 'which meant avoiding you.'

"Which time?" Kaeya whispered.

Diluc looked at him incredulously. Could his heart crack any more?

None of this had anything to do with him, but it felt like it did. He was sickeningly jealous. Of not being that boy, and of not being able to feel, not able to connect.

"Which time?" Diluc repeated, voice cracking. He cleared his throat.

Kaeya realizing that was the wrong thing to say rapidly showed on his face. "Luc, let me explain."

Diluc didn't feel like it. But, he stayed. He'd do anything for Kaeya. Even rot for him. 

Kaeya rubbed the back of his neck.

"Me and him... We're nothing. We've snuck off to the back a couple times, but it's never gone any farther than kissing. I was curious. About how it felt. What it was like. And he was too."

Diluc worked his jaw in silence.

Kaeya looked at him, visibly waiting for a response. When he got nothing but a careful blank expression, he sighed.

"None of it meant anything. Just... Hormones? Whatever Crepus said." Kaeya weakly chuckled. "You know how it is..."

"I don't."

Kaeya blinked in surprise. "What?"

Diluc shook his head and turned around. "Just forget it."

Kaeya caught his sleeve.

"Diluc, what's wrong? Why are you upset with me? Is it because I didn't tell you?"

Diluc would rather have not heard or seen anything.

"No, no," he replied, pitching his tone lighter. "Continue on as you please. You two and your... whatever. Couple-ness? Fling? Hide better next time."

Diluc swore he heard a, "I wished it was you" on his way out.

Diluc went to bed that night, hollow and gutted. He knew what pain felt like, but this was a new brand of sorrow.

He was being a whiny, mopey baby again, wasn't he? Unable to handle the fact that Kaeya was growing up and away from him.

That Diluc wasn't as important to Kaeya as before anymore, and that Diluc really /was/ just a fucked up human being.

15, yet 11, yet 8.

There was no place in the world for him. There was no place in someone's heart for him. No one wants a defect.

Diluc curled into the sheets and wished that the aching crack in his heart would dissipate so he could sleep.

Age 16.5, and Crepus asked why Diluc had never brought anyone home.

"I just don't find anyone particularly interesting yet," Diluc hesitantly said, nudging his way around the subject.

Kaeya looked at him with an unreadable expression.

Crepus frowned. "Not anyone? There /must/ be a girl you've had your eye on before." 

Diluc was dead quiet, unable to meet his father's eye.

Diluc had his eyes on one person, and that person wouldn't want someone like him.

"Or, ahem," Crepus cleared his throat, "a boy."

Diluc put on a weak smile. "I don't like anyone, Father. It's... just that." Nothing to it.

Yeah. Nothing to it.

Crepus appeared disappointed, but didn't voice it. Thank god. Diluc didn't know if he could handle that conversation.

He'd had a long time to think about himself. Most of it was of a self-loathing nature, but it brought to light facts he couldn't deny.

Diluc wanted to be in love. He desired romance. Sex and romance are so intertwined, though, especially in the city of freedom.

Mond was less prudish than other cultures of Teyvat.

When Diluc confronted Kaeya the year before about the boy, he spent another week avoiding him and licking his wounds. Gradually, he gravitated back to him, though more separated than before.

He didn't know if Kaeya ever got with that boy again. He was glad he didn't know, but bothered by it too. It was a bittersweet, double-edged sword.

Kaeya never brought anyone home. Diluc could only be grateful for that, as he watched Kaeya slip through his fingers.

Once again - life continued on. The world still turned. Diluc pushed himself past it and threw himself into the Knights. If Diluc couldn't be whole, then he'd be damn good at what he /could/ be.

Kaeya trailed behind him, remaining comfortably in the shadow that Diluc cast.

Things... Well. They didn't necessarily get easier, per se, but Diluc learned to maneuver around. He grew.

He and Kaeya were side by side constantly. They fought together in expeditions, went to events together, trained and studied together.

Just as in childhood, the two of them were inseparable.

They were, together, the uncrowned bachelor princes of Mond.

Having that title meant a lot, and young adults eagerly trying to get with either of them was one of the consequences.

Diluc's stomach churned in queasiness as Kaeya playfully spun pleasantries with his silver tongue with a girl a year younger.

He, himself, gently turned everyone down.

He had to remind himself that Kaeya would never be what Diluc wished he was. It was a harsh truth.

Diluc couldn't hope Kaeya to be something he wasn't - private, selective, unsexual like him. So, he must deal with jealousy of various kinds and reasons.

He couldn't keep himself from wishing though, quietly, it was him on that receiving end of that tongue.

Kaeya flourished. Skyrocketed. He was so brilliant that it hurt Diluc's eyes to see, yet he'd withstand the countless tears to witness him.

Diluc cherished the nights Kaeya slept over with him, back to back, feet to feet. He didn't know what time would be the last.

Diluc didn't know when Kaeya would branch out once again and leave him 16, yet 11, yet 8.

He didn't know what was to come.

Age 17, his life stood on two feet and fucking ran.

Diluc, admittedly, got a little too drunk on his birthday.

Crepus had allowed him a small, /small/ glass of wine in celebration. He (presumably) failed to notice when Kaeya snuck the entire bottle away, as well as others, and stashed them in his room.

As a lightweight, Diluc was a little buzzed when he retired to bed. He mostly found the aftertaste not to his liking, but he couldn't deny the pleasantries of inebriation - what little he knew of it, at least.

Diluc closed his door, sat down on his bed, and simply sat. Stared at the floor. Thought.

Seventeen. Huh. Damn. Just one more year until he was of age.

It felt just like yesterday when he was still on Crepus's shoulders, lifted up after crushing grapes with his feet.

There were a lot of things he should be feeling, but he didn't feel them, nor did he know what to do with those feelings if he did.

Diluc should feel older and wiser. He really didn't though; apart from the celebration, it was just an ordinary day. Nothing special.

Had he wasted his year? Had he done enough? Had he made the best of it?

That was a fear he had - wasting his time and youth.

Being in the Knights and having studies kept him constantly busy. Nonetheless, the little voice of fear crept into his mind.

Diluc only had this year left before he was an adult. Before all the responsibilities of adulthood came crashing down upon him and his (limited) freedom was no longer free.

 

Had he missed out on opportunities this year? Missed out on adventures?

Grand Master Varka always encouraged playing as hard as one worked. He'd said, "Enjoy your youth while it lasts, cause it ain't here forever."

Diluc knew it objectively was just a... factual sentence. Some nights like these, those, it was frightful.

Sometimes, Diluc wondered if he was missing out on being a teenager by being the cavalry captain.

In an attempt to calm his growing panic, he thought back on all the available opportunities of the year. To be honest, there weren't many he had missed.

He attended expeditions, trained new Knights, helped host small parties. Crepus brought him on business trips and Kaeya made sure they had time for beach visits and exploration. Their closest friends they hung out with were as busy as they were.

Diluc let out a sigh.

It was okay. He had time. He did what he could and made wonderful memories. 

Diluc would never forget the time Jean fell in a ditch on a camping trip after announcing the terrain was free of ditches.

The memory made him smile.

Everything was alright. He hadn't squandered his time and youth.

But--

Gods, he was coming back around to this again? It must have been the alcohol getting to him. Diluc hadn't thought about this for a while now - he was doing so good.

But-- he hadn't had his first kiss yet, let alone held a hand romantically.

Diluc shoved his face into his hands and rubbed his eyes.

He didn't know why he kept circling back to this, time and time again. Diluc was not a fan of relationships, really. He couldn't find attraction in anyone (except one person he couldn't have). He knew he'd be severely uncomfortable if he /was/ in one.

So why, if Diluc knew he'd be just suffering the entire time in a relationship or through related displays of affection, was he so ashamed he had never experienced it (yet)?

17, yet 11, yet 8.

There was a severe disconnect with societal expectations, his wants, and his actual reality of being.

Diluc couldn't think of anyone, bar Sucrose or deliberately 'celibate' individuals, who hadn't been kissed before.

Hell, his own... Scratch that. Hell, /Kaeya/ had.

Diluc knew at his age he should be searching. He should be courting, hooking up, fancying, whatever.

Crepus expected a significant other and, in the future, an heir. Right?

Yet Diluc couldn't shake the perpetual thought of 'when I'm older, it'll come.' When is older?

What age would fix him? Make him normal?

He wanted: a relationship, intimacy, kisses, to be touched and to touch preciously, to adore and be adored, to feel and give pleasure, sex like any other teenager.

Sitting there, the dots slowly, finally began to connect.

Diluc wanted to /want/ those things. That was key, wasn't it?

Society said he should want it, so he wanted to want it, and it felt the same. But it isn't, truly.

Having a romantic relationship was more in the picture than anything else, granted. But semantics.

Everything is just so frustrating.

Seventeen and he couldn't even figure out his own mind.

Diluc wanted Kaeya.

(Speak of the devil...)

Diluc lifted his head at a couple precise knocks on his door. It was a constructed pattern only Kaeya knew and used.

"Come in," he called, sitting up straighter.

Kaeya popped his head in with a wicked grin. He quickly scurried in and locked the door.

Then, from behind his back, he revealed two bottles of wine.

"You ready to have fun?"

Hello: Hello, my name’s Kira. If you’d let me, I’d love to join you on your adventure. You’ve seen so much of Teyvat already… I would love to see it too.

Chat [Chess]: Would you like to play a game of chess? Be careful, I’ve heard I’m quite skilled at it~

Chat [Traveling]: I’ve always wanted to see the other nations… This is all so beautiful.

Chat [Reading]: Oh! I’ve only ever read about this in books! Isn’t it incredible??

When It Rains: Here, I’ll make two umbrellas with my Vision…

After the Rain: Ah, that’s much better. Now I just have to wring the water out of my skirt…

When Thunder Strikes: We may want to take cover…

When It Snows: Isn’t the snow beautiful? Every single snowflake that you see is unique.

When the Wind Is Blowing: It seems like Barbatos really has it out for us…

In the Desert: Gods, why is it so hot…??

Good Morning: Good morning! A new day for traveling, yes?

Good Afternoon: It’s always so hot in the afternoon… Here, I can help cool you off.

Good Evening: Hmm… We may want to start looking for some shelter.

Good Night: Sleep well, Traveler~ We have a full day tomorrow.

About Kira [The Library]: I work part-time at the Knights of Favonius Library, and after all the time I’ve spent in there, I think it’s safe to say I’ve read every book. There…really aren’t that many books…

About Kira [Ruins]: Why do some civilizations crumble while others thrive? I want to learn more about the world, but I guess I should also start with the past…

About Us [Family]: Family isn’t just by blood, you know. I don’t have a blood-related family. My family are the people who gave me a place to belong… So you’ll always have a family in Mondstadt as well.

About Us [Sparring]: Would you like to have a little sparring match to pass the time~? … Yes, of course I can fight! I’m a lot stronger than I look, you know. I was taught by the best!

About the Vision: I’ve had my Vision for as long as I can remember… But that also means I’ve had plenty of time to perfect my craft. It’s quite easy to make things from ice with a Cryo Vision~

Something to Share: I’m not actually from Mondstadt, and I don’t really know where I’m from. I guess I’m hoping to find clues about my origins as I travel across Teyvat…

Interesting Things: Look at this… It’s a perpetual core from a ruin machine. How could such a thing like this exist..?? For machines to stay active for centuries like this… It’s incredible!!

About Varka: Well… He’s my father. My adoptive father, at least. I don’t know why Papa’s been gone for so long… But I know he’s a good man. There’s a reason everyone in Mondstadt loves him. He always just wants what’s best for Mondstadt.

About Jean: I actually feel a bit bad for Jean… Even before Papa left her in charge, she was already doing the boring work of the Grand Master. But she doesn’t seem to mind. To each their own, I suppose.

About Kaeya: He’s so elusive… He acts rather outgoing at times, but I actually don’t know a thing about him. I don’t think anyone does. But… His eye looks similar to mine. Perhaps our birth families come from the same place? I’d like to ask him about it, but… For all the years I’ve known him, he’s never once talked about his family.

About Razor: Papa has trained a lot of kids while I was under his care, but Razor always interested me the most. He’s such a sweet boy, and so strong too! His drive to protect his family reminds me a lot of Papa.

About Rosaria: Rosaria has been through a lot, but that isn’t my story to tell. I know her through Papa. She was one of the children he helped out. I guess, in a way, we’re like distant sisters?

About Mika: He’s such a sweetheart..!! Mika has trouble accepting praise from others, although his achievements are definitely worthy of praise. Papa has taken him under his wing to train him. It’s impressive to see just how much he has grown.

About Zhongli: What a strange man… His knowledge of Teyvat’s past in incredible, but he really is an odd one. I had a meal with him one day and he discussed the origins of Liyue as if he had been there himself, but when it was time to pay, he didn’t have a single Mora on him. I covered the tab in exchange for his shared wisdom.

About Xingqiu: I didn’t think he would be so…young. I have read a few of ‘Zhenyu’s’ books, but I would have never guessed the author’s true identity. He really is immensely talented!

About Thoma: Thoma must be one of, if not the, sweetest guys I have ever met. He was always putting others before himself, including me, a complete stranger. I wonder if he learned such a talent from Mondstadt or if that’s just who he is.

About Ayaka: It couldn’t have been easy, having your nation terribly divided and being forced into a stalemate… I know she wanted to abolish the Vision Hunt decree, but due to her family’s name, she couldn’t do a thing. That kind of situation can really tear someone up inside…

About Alhaitham: He is without a doubt the smartest man I have ever met. He is so smart that he never feels the need to get any sort of approval from others…although, I don’t think that is entirely wise. Not many people seem to like him, but I think he just sees the world differently. It’s interesting, and I don’t mind it.

About Kaveh: Kaveh could every well be just as intelligent as Alhaitham, just in a completely different way. I’m not an architect myself, but I’ve seen Mehrak and I am in awe of his skills in building such a machine. Even after I left Sumeru, I still consider Kaveh a dear friend.

About Navia: Whenever I met her, my first thought was that I could have been like her… Not that it would be a bad thing at all, of course. But… I could have been raised a proper lady. I was taken in by a very powerful figure in Mondstadt, after all. I wonder what went wrong with me… I wonder why I don’t have her grace.

About Neuvillette: I had heard of Fontaine before arriving there, and I knew loosely of its court system. The people of Fontaine see trials as shows, and that never sat right with me. I expected the Chief Justice to be just as warped…but I was completely wrong about him. He is fair and kind. I feel bad for making such an incorrect assumption about him…

More About Kira [I]: Things about me? Well, um… I like to read, and I like researching ruin technology. Oh, and I like exploring.

More About Kira [II]: Papa–erm, Varka–taught me how to use a sword. I’m not very strong physically, so I don’t like carrying a whole sword around with me. That’s why I’m better with a catalyst. However, if I make a sword out of my ice, it’s lighter and easier for me to wield. I’m much better at strategizing than combat, but often times, I combine the two~

More About Kira [III]: I used to be so quiet when I was younger… Not 'introvert’ quiet. More like…silent. I never spoke unless I was comfortable with it, and usually that was only with Papa. It was him who taught me how to open up and talk to others. He helped me become who I am today, and I truly believe the woman I am now is the best me I can be.

More About Kira [IV]: I don’t know where I’m from, but Mondstadt has always been my home. However…it’s strange. Mondstadt is my home, but I never felt like I truly belonged there. I’m quieter than the people there, and I don’t like alcohol at all. I always read books instead of going outside and talking to people… I think they see me as strange, but that’s alright. Papa always said that as long as I’m true to myself, I will be happy. And I am.

More About Kira [V]: My childhood wasn’t the best… In fact, it was terrible. I try not to think about it too much. But everything changed when I met Papa. I was living on the street without a family, and he had just recently lost his own family. It was like…we made each other whole again. We helped each other heal. I try not to think about my darker past because I don’t want it to define who I am. I am Varka’s daughter. And I’m proud of that.

Kira’s Hobbies: Um… Reading, definitely. I also went up to Mondstadt quite often to learn about the ruins up there. I always wanted to explore the world, but I didn’t want to leave my home… Until now, I suppose.

Kira’s Troubles: I want to learn about where I came from. I want to know my heritage. But I don’t have any leads except for a few instincts, and I’d prefer concrete facts.

Favorite Food: I do love spaghetti… But I also like various fruits and berries.

Least Favorite Food: Please…nothing spicy. I really can’t stand spicy foods…

Receiving a Gift [I]: Oh, wow! This might be the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted..!!

Receiving a Gift [II]: This is really tasty!! You have a gift for cooking. I’m not the best at making food, so… I’m happy to have anything you make~

Receiving a Gift [III]: Oh, um… Thank you, but… I think you may have mixed up the ingredients maybe? Or…something…

Birthday: It’s your birthday? Well, happy birthday!! I hope this year will be filled with new joys and experiences to fill your life with happiness~

Feelings About Ascension [Intro]: Oh, wow… With this, I’m sure I can get even stronger.!!

Feelings About Ascension [Building Up]: My ice is sturdier than before, and I somehow have even more control over it… Thank you, really.

Feelings About Ascension [Climax]: I feel like I’m finally unlocking my full potential with my Vision. Thank you so much. You’ve truly given me a gift.

Feelings About Ascension [Conclusion]: You’ve helped me come such a long way in learning about the world and myself. If there’s anything I can do to repay you, please let me know. Until then, I will stay by your side.

𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓇𝒶𝒸𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓈 𝒱𝑜𝒾𝒸𝑒-𝐿𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈 𝒶𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝐵𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓁𝓁𝑒

Characters: Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, Fischl, Sucrose, Jean, Diluc, Mona, Venti, Klee, Albedo, Ganyu, Eula, Kujou Sara, Yae Miko (and mentions of Brielle)

Type: OC description

Amber

Once we started a friendly competition on who's companion is better, Baron Bunny or her Sheeps! Of course her sheeps won because they were AMAZING! But... I feel like she became even more shy sine that time...

Kaeya

She has problems with socializing so one day I wanted to help her which was her big step. But it seems like she avoids me now... You want to know how I helped her? Heheh, ask Lisa in her free time, I'm sure she'll be happy to tell you this story~

Lisa

Ah, that cutie? At first you may think that there's nothing more than horned girl that's scared of her own shadow, but she'll slowly start to open, and then her natural cuteness will come out~

Fischl

She's the loyal listener that's worthy of being in my special league in Immernachtreich!

Sucrose

I'm still very glad that she agreed on letting us do a small experiment! I just hope I didn't scared her off in any way...

Jean

Brielle is responsible girl, but... I'm not sure if I want to leave Klee with her ever again... it's not because of her lack of experience but because of her health... last time when I saw them after babysitting Klee she could barely stand on her legs.

Diluc

The only reason why I still let this Bard into my tavern is because of her. But I still don't understand why she pays for him...

Mona

It's a kind girl, it's a shame that her fate and fate of her soulmate is so cruel...

Venti

Were you ever interested how she can see? Ehehe~ I know the answer on that but I'll let you be a detective! Oh, don't be sad! I can tell you after one favor! Ehe~

Klee

Brielle is the best! She may be a little slow but when it's about climbing, no one can beat her!

Albedo

She's very... interesting, to say the least.

Ganyu

When you become really close with her, her shyness goes away completely. And her horns don't disturb her! Brielle is one of these people I can always count on.

Eula

She learns fast. And I must admit that it makes me happy to see she takes my dancing lessons so seriously, especially that only Amber participated in them at beginning.

Kujou Sara

Last time when I saw her in Inazuma, she looked like she didn't knew where to go. Of course I decided to help her but before I came close, she already ran away...

Yae Miko

Her? Hehe~ We have a funny story... why won't you ask her yourself if you're so curious, hmm?

[3am-starry-night-sky]

What we can take away from the Hidden Strifes event: Diluc and his current relationship with Kaeya

I have too many ideas and new theories filling my mind, so I’ll be making several separate posts. Many things have already been mentioned by others, so I’ll be going over those things briefly or maybe even not at all. 

 Ok, let’s start with the new info we have regarding Diluc and the series of events that followed his father’s death.

Diluc did not leave right away. And it was actually Alice who gave him the idea, and from the wording of both of their letter, it didn’t seem to be so much about going on a killing spree, but more about getting away and finding himself (being lost due to the recent events) and along with that also the truth. Also, Kaeya somewhat helped him with it, keeping Jean and Varka from stopping Diluc and giving him a tip on how to leave.

(A part from Alice’s letter)

(A part from Kaeya’s letter) The way He worded the last part, makes it seem like Kaeya himself has thought about doing something similar. 

Not so much about Diluc, but we learn that Kaeya kept Diluc updated about the Eroch situation, even though the other hasn’t been shown to have replied or requested the info. You know the “You don’t have to reply” Also that the whole Eroch process took quite the effort from the Knights and probably also time. 

EDIT: I also want to add that Kaeya might be aware or at leas have suspicions of Diluc working with a secret organization. Or those “businessmen” were from the fatui. But I’m more leaning on the first.

   Diluc isn’t so much against the Knights of Favonius, but due to their different approaches and differences in philosophy, he prefers steering clear of them, unless cooperation is necessary. Also, we can not forget that Diluc still holds a grudge towards the knights actions following his father’s death.

Lastly, it becomes even more clear that Diluc’s character is built on justice and righteousness. And also that he’s someone who thinks about the present and future more than the past. Basically, someone who strides towards the better future, rather than sulking in the past. But interestingly it seems like he also takes a lot after what he has experienced in the past, sort of gets stuck in his feelings and doesn’t forgive so easily. 

(This is opposite to Kaeya, someone who lingers on the past and holds onto mementoes from everything he can, but yet is quick to forgive and put aside his own feelings. He feels hesitant about the future and prefers not to think about it, rather enjoying what he can in the present)

(I might make a separate post about talking about How Kaeya and Diluc are both parallels and opposites to each other)

Now to unpacking Diluc’s and Kaeya’s relationship: 

The most important thing we can take away from this event, is that the two have been exchanging letters over the years. Kaeya took the initiative almost immediatly, and even though Diluc was at first resistant, he eventually started sending in replies. 

(I’d like to add, that these reveals are very important. I personally feel that they have made not only both Kaeya’s and Diluc’s characters feel more fleshed out but also their relationship and the string of events more clearer and civil. Basically, it feels much more realistic now. And I’ve certainly felt my perception of the two shift a little)

It seems like their relationship isn’t as bad as some thought, but at the same time it seems like it’s still not as good as some hoped for. I’d say they have found some common ground and are at least on speaking terms. And interestingly you can feel the tone of the letters get better over the years. 

Talking about the tone of the letter. It seems still a bit cold/resistant and there are some jabs at each other here and there, but overall it does seem better than how they communicate in real life. I think an interesting thing to note when comparing the letters to the others, is that while the tone of the other letters reflect more respect and warmth, it’s partially because the letters sent to Albedo, Alice Jean and Varka have been written in a rather polite manner. In an opposing way writings exchanged between Kaeya and Diluc are much more casual (Kaeya’s more than Diluc’s, but still). 

Maybe I’m looking too much into this, but this line right here, is one of the jabs that actually also seems to have some compassion in it. It seems to be sending a message “Why don’t you worry about yourself instead, I know you act similarly/you aren’t any better, so please do take of yourself too”

Overall it feels like they both have moved past their initial conflict, but there still seems to be a rock between them that makes it awkward. 

It seems like Kaeya holds no grudge towards Diluc and his actions and instead takes the blame himself (While they both certainly hold some blame, it feels a bit unhealthy to forgive everyone who hurts you, but you do you, honey). It does feel very Kaeya-like to look at both sides of the conflict and not lable people as good-and-bad or hero-and-villain (Given that Kaeya himself stands between a conflict, having seen both sides, and I’d say that that experience is the base of Kaeya’s character and his actions, but that’s an entirely new topic I might post about one day)

There’s no backup to this claim (at least not one I can think of right now), but I’d say (and I’ve seen others theorize this), that perhaps Diluc seems hesitant towards Kaeya, because he sees his actions as a wrongdoing, a misguided justice, a violation of his own philosophies and while he has tried to learn from that, he still (depending on whether he knows or not about kaeya never having blamed him) doesn’t see himself as worthy of forgiveness. As “I should uphold myself to same standards as I do others” (So If I can’t forgive others why should others forgive me). And thus keeping a bit of distance from Kaeya, at elast emotionally. 

(Or It’s Kaeya who can’t accept that Diluc has changed, and is thus approaching the matter from the wrong angle. Always referencing things from the past, perhaps thinking it will bring back the old Diluc.)

Lastly, I’d say that we got even more proof about how much the two work together behind the scene. At this point, Kaeya might as well be sponsoring Diluc’s whole Darknight-hero affair.

And the fact that Kaeya immedaitly figured out that Diluc was the Darknight-hero (though let’s be honest, it’s not that hard) and that similarly Diluc figured out that Kaeya wasn’t blinded, shows that despite both having changed and their relationship not being what it used to, they still know each other better than they’d like to admit.

PS: Sorry if the post is a bit all over the place and long. My thoughts themselves have been all over the place after the reveals. Plus, I’m not best at putting my thoughts to words sometimes, well actually most of the time.

the perks of a vision

synopsis: a vision has multiple uses, it isn’t just a way to boost your fighting skills. so how do these vision-bearers use them with you, the one they love the most?

characters: kazuha, jean, itto, ningguang, ei, childe, yelan, diluc, kaeya, and ganyu

deets: gn! reader, some have established relationships while others don’t, some of them is up for you to decide

notes: me and my bestie were talking about this like months ago and i finally wrote them out! (hc format, but whatevs!) some of them are way shorter than others so, uh, damn 😭 not the most proud of kazuha tbh, i think the scenario i paired with him wasn’t a good match :p but also… teasing kazuha •/////•

i think one of my followers is a ganyu fan so i hope they enjoy her part! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

kazuha

❀ a sudden strong breeze is a simple and effective way to get you to huddle closer to the man—and he takes advantage of this a lot

❀ kazuha tends to spend his time outside and likes to bring you along with him. a walk through a forest, sitting beneath a tree, tracing shapes in the sand on the beach, it doesn’t matter what the two of you are doing; he just likes to spend time with you

❀ while he is someone that speaks his mind he likes to have his fun, too. why ask you outright for some cuddles when he can be a little cheeky and change up the weather a bit >:3

❀ the two of you will be walking down a narrow dirt path when *gasp*! the wind starts to get too strong! oh, dear :( you two should stick close to each other just to be safe—here, grab his hand!

❀ once you notice the wind suddenly stopped you make a move to release his hand, to only have it kick back up again. well isn’t that such a coincidence?!

❀ even the colder days still play towards kazuha’s favor—it’s actually much better in his opinion. he just needs to do a little work and ta dah! you’re shivering! wait, no, don’t be happy—act concerned, kazu!!

❀ the reason why kazuha favors the cold days more than sunny ones is because he’s able to actually hold you. pretty boy is secretly so ecstatic about this!! sure, holding his hand is nice, but so is wrapping an arm around your shoulder and pulling you into his side 🥰

jean

❀ visions tend to be linked towards the bearer’s emotions and you learned this one day while accidentally startling jean awake. you weren’t the one who needed it, but that sudden burst of wind certainly woke you up

❀ there’s papers littered all over the desk and floor now, but the blonde’s attention is more focused on you, who has messy hair and clothes. oh, dear… please! let the acting grandmaster fix it for you!

❀ it may sound strange, but she gets slightly addicted to fixing you up. running her fingers through your hair, helping you adjust any clothes that got messed up from the surprise gust, she wants to keep doing it again and again so badly, but as direct as jean can get she’s rather shy when it comes to something like this so she resorts to using her vision

❀ she’s usually cooped up in her office so she tends to pretend to get startled by something, usually by you shaking her awake, as an excuse for the sudden wind

❀ outside, she doesn’t need to pretend as much. it’s outside, so obviously there’s bound to be a change in the weather, certainly not something caused by an anemo user, no

itto

❀ this one is gonna be structured differently because i think it’s better conveyed through bullet points 😓 but picture itto running up to you after meeting zhongli, who taught him a new trick

❀ itto: babe! check this out!!

❀ itto: *stomps on the floor* *summons a stone pillar right underneath you, tossing you into the air*

❀ don’t worry, he catches you :)

❀ if you’re cool with it, the two of you try to figure out just how high up the oni can send you

❀ the first time was more of an accident, but after learning that he gets to hold you after he catches you it’s now used as an excuse to do just that

❀ (bonus: he uses this new trick to vandalize the statue of the raiden shogun—y’all know what he’s gonna do >:))

ningguang

❀ the jade screen that she can summon works very well for soundproofing. standing behind one can muffle the noise on the other side so if you were completely surrounded? total silence. sometimes the stress of ningguang’s work can get to her and she just needs a moment of silence alone, but she doesn’t just use it for herself

❀ whenever you’re feeling awful or ningguang thinks you need to relax she’ll summon those screens right away, gently asking if everything’s ok

❀ the screens are rather thin to the point of having easy access to go through and to see on the other side, but with just a bit of tweaking and alterations, ningguang makes the walls surrounding you thick and non-clear to give you privacy

❀ if you wanted to be left alone she makes sure to make some sort of door before leaving so that you can get out once you’re feeling better. make sure to go find her when you’re out, she’s prepared you a nice cup of tea :)

(surprise!: y’all know those scenes/moments/tropes of running away from your crush to only wind up being cornered by them and pinned against a wall? yeah, my brain is becoming mush at the idea of zhongli summoning his pillar and doing that (//▽//))

ei

❀ thunder is a common fear among many; sometimes it’s the loud noise and rumble that make them tremble or the bright, sudden flashes from lightning that strikes fear. let’s say for one example you were part of this group

❀ you mention this to ei at one point and she remembers this detail for, like, ever. how could she not? she’s literally the archon of electro, but she doesn’t take offense to hearing this, she just remembers it easily because she wants to know everything about you

❀ one day you start to excuse yourself from your hangout, saying you should get home before it’s too late and ei, who remembered your fear of thunder, decided to do something just a little mischievous

*bam!*

❀ omg (first name)! are you ok?! just listen to that thunder :(( well you must stay with her and wait for the thunder to pass! and just in case it goes on all night, here; she’ll prepare a bed for you to spend the night in (aka, make more space on her bed and make it more comfy)

❀ of course, not everyone is scared of thunder, but no one is immune to the dangers of it. so if you were someone that wasn’t scared of it ei doesn’t mind, she can still use her ability and pass it off by saying that you should spend the night with her just to be safe

childe

❀ tfw you stole this from kokomi but don’t know jack shit about her so you gotta downgrade to him 🙃 /hj

❀ “the power of water is its ability to take any shape” - the hydro oceanid, i think. i’ve been avoiding her cause god i hate her fight

❀ anyways—getting back on track: with the wise words from the oceanid many hydro wielders use their ability to create something pleasing to look at. for some, they use it in battle, for others, it’s to entertain the crowd, for childe, it’s to give you a little smooch <3

❀ childe likes to make a little fishie to hover around you, swirling around your head before diving in to give you a peck on the face. cheek, nose, forehead, eye—doesn’t matter, if it can reach it, it’ll kiss there

❀ when the contact is made childe makes a little kissy face as if he were actually kissing you (´ε｀ )♡

❀ if he’s feeling a little cheeky, the harbinger makes the fish splash onto your face, spreading water all over it rather than leaving behind a wet spot. don’t worry! he’ll help clean it off!! as long you give him a kiss in return, that is (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

yelan

❀ do you guys remember that one episode in spongebob where he and patrick would whisper something into a bubble so that when it would pop it’d repeat what was said into it? yeah, yelan does that :)

❀ it happens not too often, but it’s always a pleasure because the woman always has something sweet to say about you. there are some days where you’re chased after the bubbles, hearing whispers from her one after another. there’s just so much she has to tell you! how beautiful your outfit is, how amazing your hair looks today, how pretty your smile is—she can go on and on!

❀ when she can’t settle on what to say first she’ll roll a dice to figure out and say whatever the number lands on

❀ extra: it’s a great way to warn you about something without alerting anyone—if someone was following you yelan would whisper this into the bubble and give instructions on how to get away before dealing with the person herself

diluc

❀ i think it’s a universal agreement that having a pyro vision means you’re naturally warm and diluc’s fucking hot so it’s always a pleasure to stand near him

❀ and isn’t it such a coincidence that wherever you went with him it was always a little chilly?

❀ no, seriously! even beneath the warm sun in the city of mondstadt there’s still a nip in the air that makes you huddle close to the man. and that breeze blowing by was certainly not helping (¬ ¬ ) (haha, what? noooo, it was definitely not venti changing the airflow because diluc offered free drinks if he did it. haha, what are you saying?)

❀ as lovely as it is to spend time with you during the daytime diluc has a bit of a preference for the nighttime (mainly because he doesn’t need to ask a certain bard for help and deal with his teasings the next day) but just like with the vision, the night has multiple perks

❀ for example: enemies are more prone to coming out and attacking any unsuspecting people walking home so diluc can protect you! oh, and, uh make sure to stick by him just to be safe… please? 👉👈

❀ it’s also naturally cold at night so diluc doesn’t have to rely on any tricks to hold you close while walking you home. maybe one day he’ll stop being so shy and be able to ask you outright to hold you

(surprise!: albedo may not be a pyro user, but klee is! i love the idea of klee knowing her brother’s crush on you and trying to play matchmaker soooo… hear me out: klee blowing things up while right next to you so that her brother comes running and starts a conversation with you since you’re right there. hehe, now isn’t she so smart?! wait, shit, that’s jean coming—uh oh! run, klee!!)

kaeya

❀ like his brother, he manipulates the temperature as a way to get you closer without having to ask. unlike his brother, he doesn’t have to ask others to help, he can just do it himself with his cryo vision

❀ the air starts to become cold and gets colder the longer you stay away from the knight so you should hurry over to him before the town freezes over!

❀ this mf teases you for wanting to huddle up next to him as if he had nothing to do with it 🙄

❀ absolutely, 100% does this in bed, but why should you complain? you get to cover up with as many blankets as you want and be held by your boyfriend, who doesn’t want that?!

(surprise!: ayaka does the same thing, but she doesn’t use her vision to tease you like kaeya does. she’s a little more on the shy side and struggles a bit to say that she wants to cuddle with you and finds it easier to just make the air a little chilly before asking if you needed help to warm up. her face is still red regardless of creating an excuse ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡)

ganyu

❀ i like to think that ganyu is a little talented when trying to calm other people down. she may not be the best with herself, but she knows just what to say or do to make others relax. for you, she creates little ice figurines :)

❀ your personal favorite (and hers) is when she creates a little snow globe that holds some sort or ice figure inside. it takes her some practice to be able to master it, but for you, she’s willing to learn anything

❀ it would start off as something small—like a simple flower or a snowflake that twirls around inside the icy walls—then she gradually works her way up to create something bigger and better—something more suited for someone as wonderful as you

❀ spoiler: it’s gonna be an ice sculpture of you and her together heheh

❀ she won’t tell you, but with whatever free time she has available she uses it to learn how to make something new

❀ even if you weren’t in need of some cheering up, ganyu still shows off what she can do. she just likes seeing your smile

For the child God AU.

What if god reader suddenly remembered that they had a test in their school where they had to memorize the 2s multiplication table and recite it in front of class. So what child reader does is go to Lisa and asks her to help them memorize. And Eula is standing on the side, giving thumbs up cause reader needs their mom for moral support.

I am sobbing this is so cute.

Child!Reader thinks they're still gonna have to take the test that's so adorable-

I think it'd make a bit more sense for it to be sight words and stuff so reader goes up to Lisa all, "Teach me everything you know witch lady"

"It's Miss witch lady to you sweetie. But you want to know everything?"

You nodded gravely, "All your words! I need to know them all!"

Lisa sends a confused but amused glance to Eula. Eula merely said, "They have a test coming up and they need to memorize their words."

Cue a very long session of Lisa teaching you much more difficult words than were on your sight reading test. Somehow, it devolves into Lisa teaching you spells and how to create a shield. She was sure Jean and other protective acolytes of yours would have her head for teaching you fighting techniques but they couldn't complain about her teaching you to defend yourself.

You went from learning basic words, to hard words, to spells, then to creating geo constructs. Not even just geo just contsructs. You could create anything if you willed it.

You even created a flower and put it in Eula and Lisa's hair.

You somehow also managed to create the Lawrance clan's symbol into jewlery for you to hang around your neck. You grinned excitedly, Lisa nervously congratulating you, as you bounded over to Eula.

"Mom! Mom! Look!" You held it up to her, "Look what I made!"

Eula's breath was stolen and fear flashed in her eyes, "Your grace... I don't think you want to wear that symbol..." She said gently, memories flashing in her eyes of what has been done and said to her for wearing that symbol.

You frowned, your wide eyes swimming with dissapointment, "But you wear it all the time, and I wanna match."

Eula's heart warmed at the thought but then froze back up as she imagined the reactions of her family.

They'd be gloating and showing you off like a damn trophy. But they didn't earn your love she did, and yet they'd still try to show you off to everybody. As if they were worthy of your love, as if they had it when in reality you only cared about her-

Eula snapped herself out of her spiraling thoughts and gently held your hands, a soft smile adorned her usually cold face, "How about we match in something else? It's an amazing piece of jewlery and I shall love it always but I think it'd be better if we matched..." Eula trailed off before her eyes lit up, "Can you create a cryo vision?"

And that was how you, with the help of Lisa and Eula, created a cryo vision. It was just a decoy, like the one Venti had, but you could still wield the element of cryo. The vision did help to get you in the right mindset to wield cryo though. Which was how it become your favorite element, and how you learned to wield it.

Eula then started teaching you how to use your cryo powers, the other acolytes felt jealousy burning brightly in there but most of them were content just to see you smile.

Though, Kaeya will try and join in your training. To which you'd giggle and shout "Cool it!" and "Freeze!" To copy him, to which he was very estatic about.

Childe and Venti would try and teach you their respective elements. Venti made you an anemo vision which you held onto tightly, using it to clip back your hair. Though you mainly focused on your cryo vision, which was attatched to your hip, all you needed to do was switch up your visions and the placebo helped you to control the elements. So, if you wanted, you could switch the anemo vision to be the one on your hip and use the cryo on to hold up your hair.

(It got to the point where vision wielders were begging Venti to make visions for you to wear to which he'd charge them large sums of money for)

No matter what, though, your second "mastered" vision would be pyro. You couls use anemo, but your comfort level would be Cryo, Pyro, Anemo, and then everything else.

Because Eula and Amber hang out so often, and Eula started dragging you around with them. You and Amber grew fond of each other quickly, getting along well. You were fascinated by her marksmanship, that combined with Klee's bombs and you were enamoured with the idea of wielding pyro.

"Fire and ice," Eula mused, ruffling your hair with a warm smile, "Suits you well, little one."

Kaeya who’s a certified sadist and can’t help but mess with you.

Warnings: power imbalance, choking, sadism, humiliation, afab reader, mean Kaeya, fingering, pinching, choking, size kink, outdoor sex, possessive Kaeya, mild overstim, threats (not towards reader), crybaby reader, dacryphilia

Kaeya who thinks your sooo cute, a little wannabe knight scurrying around the headquarters and Mondstat. Jumping up and down the stairs and sliding in and out his office. Always standing up tall and straight when he’s around, giving him a proud “Yes, sir!” Every time he orders you to do something. Makes him get a small chub in his pants and he wants to fuck you in front of everyone. You’re so obedient, you wouldn’t even object if he slipped his fingers inside your pants and fingered your cunt till you sob.

Kaeya who’s always thinking about how good you look in your uniform, tight armor hugging your thighs and chest. Makes him want to squeeze and play with you till you’re crying. Kaeya who’s always teasing you about how he can see your panties underneath, the ones that hug your ass and make him purposefully accidentally grind his bulge into when he’s pretending to slip by you. You’d let him fuck you over his desk wouldn’t you? Can’t say no to your superior.

Kaeya who is somehow always around. Your only friend in all of Mondstat, because all the other knights won’t talk to you for some reason. It’s definitely not because every single one of them gets threatened to stay the hell away from you. And the ones who dare get to close always end up with duties far away from where you’re posted. Getting shipped out to fight monsters so far from Mondstat. The others avoid you like you’re poison, and it makes you sad. But thankfully captain Kaeya is always there!

“Come on sweetheart, I’ll keep you company.” He says, keeping a hand low on your back and guiding you towards his big office.

And now he’s always around, even makes you eat lunch with him everyday. Slaps a bag of mora into your hands and is waving you off, telling you to go buy sweet honey glazed chicken and hashbrowns. And when you return he’s making you sit on his lap, and demanding you to feed him. You think it’s strange, but he’s telling you it’s because he has to finish these papers and can’t get them messy.

Doesn’t explain why he wants you to sit on his lap though, just says it’s easier and he doesn’t want you on his desk. But you don’t say no, perching on his thighs and picking pieces of chicken and sitting them on his tongue. And he’s slapping your thighs when you squirm, telling you to stop moving. Tells you he doesn’t care if your legs are numb or you need to get back to your post or that Jean needs you, he’s pinching your skin and telling you to sit still till he’s done. And you just huff and busy yourself with staring at his face and feeding him his lunch.

You flush internally when he sucks your fingers, playfully biting them when you don’t pull away fast enough. You wonder if he’s done this to other knights before? You brush it off and tell yourself that it’s nothing special, even though it is and you finger your cunt when you get to your barrack because all you can think about is your captain sucking your fingers. You don’t know that Kaeya is passing your room and can hear you, whimpering out with a faint schlick of your pussy. And he’s loving it, cock hardening in his pants as he imagines what you look like spreading yourself out and dragging a finger down your slit.

And he only gets worse from there.

Kaeya watches when you fall on your ass during training, getting your legs kicked out from underneath or get whacked in the chest with a wooden sword. Trying so hard to stifle his giggle at your angry hisses, that sound more like a little kitten than anything else. Who asks if you want him to train you personally, of course you agree! Why wouldn’t you? He’s your captain after all, it’d be disrespectful to deny him. And what better way to learn than to get help from the captain himself!

So he does, and makes your life hell too. Wakes you up at the crack of dawn, dragging you out into the fields and forests where no one can see you both. Doesn’t even let you put on your armor, just barely waits for you to slip on something more appropriate than your tank top and panties. Spars with you till you’re panting and gripping your sides. He’s laughing at you, saying you need to toughen up. Mocking your whining that he’s being to hard on you, how else are you supposed to be a favonious knight if you can’t handle him?

He’s looking at the sweat dripping down your Cupid’s bow, eyes clenched as you ball your fists in frustration. You’re planted on the grass, getting knocked to the ground again. You’re already spent? Well I guess that’s expected of you, so meek huh? He’s teasing you now, squatting down over your legs and getting in your face. “You’re such a slacker, how do you expect to be one of my knights if you can’t even throw a punch?” He’s spitting, mean grin on his mouth. He’s practically sneering. And kaeya loves to watch you cry, lip quivering as pearly tears well in your eyes.

Watches as you try not sob from him words, but he can see the way you’re trying not to look him in the eyes. “M’sorry Captain, I’ll try harder.” You whimper, fisting the grass. You’re so embarrassed, you’ve humiliated yourself in front of your superior and now he’s going to kick you out. This was a mistake you think, so in your head you don’t see the bulge in Kaeya’s pants. And Kaeya is cooing, reaching a hand over your cheek and squeezing them till your lips puff out. You’re just so adorable, how can he resist?

You look up at him with big wide eyes, faint tear tracks on your skin. Lashes all wet and droopy from crying, your face feels hot he notes. Whether it’s from embarrassment or the heat, or both. But you look so good beneath him, legs tucked under his form and leaning back on your hands when his face gets too close to yours. Chest heaving from exertion, and he can see the small beads of sweat slip between your tits. Because yes, he’s looking down your shirt and he can see your nipples straining against your shirt. You feel like you’re being examined under his stare, and you hate that you like it.

You hate that you like the fact he’s mean, hate how you like when he mocks your efforts and then babies you when you cry. It’s not the first time he’s made you tear up, and it won’t be the last. He’s staring, and you’re looking into his eye. He’s handsome, that’s for sure, and it makes you clench your thighs at him looming over you. Kaeya is petting your bottom lip with his thumb, grazing it till you open your mouth a tad and then he’s grinning. Shoving his thumb in your mouth with one quick motion, pressing down on your tongue till you make a choked gag and grab his wrist.

And then he’s pulling out his thumb and replacing it with his pointer and middle fingers. Their so much longer than his thumb, reach back farther than before. You actually do gag this time, feeling him hit the back of your throat and spread them inside your mouth. Feeling the wet slickness of your tongue, roughing the pads of his fingers along them till you’re drooling down his wrist.

“Be good for once and suck.” He’s demanding, and you do. Wetting his digits in your mouth, making it sticky with your spit and sucking it till he deems it wet enough. And when he pulls them out there’s strands of spit connecting you to his fingers, makes you whine and clench your thighs harder.

“Aw, don’t tell me you like when I’m mean?” He’s cooing, “Bet you’re dripping, huh?” You’re shaking your head furiously, and he’s smirking. Dipping his hand into your pants and feeling the damp spot on the seat of your panties.

“My, you’re absolutely drenched, you little whore.” He slips past your underwear, rubbing his fingers along your lips and he can practically scoop your wetness with his fingers. Rubbing tight circles on your achey clit, makes you cry out and grab his bicep. You’re shaking, already tired from training and now he’s pinching your nub and playing with your pussy. Your muscles feel like they could slide off your bones, and Kaeya is already pushing three fingers deep into your cunt. You gasp out, whiney high-pitched sounds when he curls them up and down. They feel deep, scissoring your walls and stretching you out. You can’t shut your legs with the way he’s kneeling in between you, one thigh inside yours and the other resting outside.

He’s spreading them inside your walls, pumping in and out as fast he practically can with the barrier of your pants in the way. “You’re such a slut, getting your pussy finger fucked out in the open. What would you do if someone happened to walk by? Or worse, if a group of hilichurls decided to show up? What then?” You cry out, velvety walls pulsing around his long fingers. They rub up into a spot you never knew existed, makes a weight drop in your tummy. Fuck he’s so deep, how is he so deep with only just his fingers?

“I felt you clench around me, do you like that idea? You’re more of a slut than I thought, you’re fucked.” He’s panting into your ear, cock so hard it’s throbbing in his briefs. He’s straining against the material of his pants, and fuck it hurts. If he were to pull his dick out now you’d see how red and leaky he is. Tip almost purple, angry veins sensitive against his skin. And he hooks his fingers, slamming the pads of them on that gooey spot inside and bringing his thumb back and pressing it hard on your twitchy clit.

You almost scream, throwing your head back and clamping down on his fingers. Babbling and saying incoherent things, makes him groan. Creaming all over his hand and dripping down his wrist. Thighs trembling and knees shaking, you can’t jerk them away with the way he’s kneeling over you. You’ve got a harsh grip on his biceps, digging your nails into them till he’s hissing and biting your neck in retaliation.

You look so much better like this, crying when he doesn’t stop curling his fingers. “One more sweetheart, you can give me that.” Riding out your orgasm and bringing you to another even quicker than before. Rolling your eyes back and begging him to stop with a slurred droopy tongue. “Please! Kaeya please n’ no more-“

And kaeya is pulling his fingers out, sucking on them and tasting you. He’s addicted already. He looks down at your panting form, all twitchy and shakey. You looked so fucked out, with drool running down your chin and heaving chest, and it makes him smile. Leaning down to press kisses on your cheeks and lips, wiping away the fluids on your face and pressing one more kiss on your parted mouth. Who’s picking you up and taking you back to Mondstat, of course he’ll go through the back so no one will see you, can’t have the others oogling at you. But you’re dead wrong if you think he’s done, he hasn’t got to fuck you yet. So rest while you can, cause you aren’t finished yet little knight. <3
