#and Diluc sees Kaeya and is like 'clearly he needs my protection'

[cluescorner]

Diluc was probably so fucking protective over Kaeya when they were kids. Like, he’d always go first into any situation he saw as dangerous and if literally anything bad would happen to Kaeya he would feel like a horrible person. So he’s always standing up for Kaeya and protecting him from anything scary, like boars and slimes and bullies!!

And then meanwhile Kaeya, the child-savior of Khaenri’ah who probably used to see more fucked up shit in the span of 1 week than Diluc will see in his entire life and has probably killed someone before, has to just...play along. For this mission he needs to blend into the Ragnvindr family and endearing himself to the heir of the family is definitely part of that description. Like, ‘oh wow thank you for saving me from that boar. You are my hero and I definitely needed your help with that. I totally was not going to just kill the boar with the knives I definitely didn’t steal from the kitchen and sew into my clothes in case I came across that treasure hoarder camp that’s been bothering dad recently and found an opportunity to...solve the problem.’ Kaeya finds Diluc’s attempts to ‘protect’ him adorable, especially since Kaeya needs none of that protection and in fact has been doing his own part in protecting Diluc (namely ensuring that they never run into Abyss Mages while wandering in the wild).

(A couple of them may be a little ooc because I wrote them a little aggressive, aka Kazuha and Alhaitham...)

(Featured this time is: Zhongli, Alhaitham, Kazuha, and Kaeya!)

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

𑁍༄Zhongli:

"As if you'd think loosing this challenge is of importance to me, truly my love you must now I have many a years left to try and win, I don't mind giving up early this time~" Zhonglis words graced the shell of your ear as pulled you in close to him from behind, his length poking in between your thighs and wetness, you couldn't help but gasp in delight, he'd lost so easily. "Awe Zhongli, was my teasing to much to bare for even a second?" You leaned forward a bit so your short skirt would ride up and he hissed in response, clearly turned on by your antics.

"I will have you no matter what challenge tries to keep me away, you're mine to indulge in~"

𑁍༄Alhaitham:

"A-alhaitham! Ngh-hhh!" You screamed out his name, nails digging into his back as the two of you crashed into the bed, you weren't even sure how you'd ended up there after only teasing him in his office but archons above you no longer cared. His cock was so deep inside of you that your vision was blurred, your body rocked with every thrust and your skirt was basically nothing but a invitation at this point. "I would h-have been content just reading, I didn't even care about this p-pathetic challenge, but I can only assume this is what you wanted right~"

His voice was thick with a craving for more of you and with every snap of his hips you drew closer to giving it to him, "Ahhh! A-lhaitham mnngh!"

𑁍༄Kazuha:

You gasped loudly as Kazuha smacked your ass catching you completely off guard, "K-kazu-angh!" You didn't even get to say his name, he moved with the speed of the wind, pinning your wrists to the wall with one hand while his other slid up your thigh, lifting your already small skirt up to reveal what he desired underneath. His breath was hot against your neck as he chuckled, "Here I was thinking that a gentle poet like me would have a easy time winning this challenge, but...you're just to good, even my calm collected self can't handle you. I need you."

You moaned quietly into his ear, sending a shiver down his spine as his expert fingers dipped into your heat...if he was going to loose...he would at least make sure you did too.

𑁍༄Kaeya:

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Kaeya groaned into your lips, feeling your hands tangled up in his blue strands alongside your wetness that already soaked his length, you just felt so damn good after nothing for almost a week. He'd already filled you twice, watching with lust filled eyes as your orgasms washed over you in never ending waves of pleasure, but that wasn't nearly as wonderful as your sweet doe in the headlights face, you were all but gone because of him. Who said loosing a challenge wasn't as good as winning it~

"I must say, seeing you so desperate for me in that short little skirt of yours...mmm, I won't be finished with you any time soon~"

Voice lines about the Cecilia Knight (the Reader)

from my Yandere Capitano x Knight Reader, that you can read here

Jean ”You want to know about the Grand Master’s daughter? She is a respected and revered figure in Mondstadt, even if she doesn’t believe she deserves it. She is the apple of her father’s eye, I think he often gets worried about her safety though. One day though, if I get named as the Grand Master I will have her as my second in command. When she returns from Sheznaya I will see to it that you are introduced to her personally.”

Barbara “The Lady is often seen at the Cathedral, she always sits in the same pew in the back of the church. She is a devote to the Anemo Archon, I quite admire her. I only pray that the Anemo Archon protects her on her travels.”

Eula “(Name) is the Captain of the the Recruitment Devision of the Knights of Favonius. She is like her father, but when they spar be holds back even more than he does when he does with me. Does he really think she is made out of glass?”

Kaeya “Oh? You want to know about the Grand Master’s daughter? Well I have know her for quite a number of years, since we were children in fact. Even as a girl she has always hid in her father’s shadow, there was actually a time where she got so scared that she wouldn’t let go of her father’s pant leg. That aside she is quite a responsible individual, always taking charge when need be, but never taking the credit she deserves.”

Lisa “Lady (Name), I once had a conversation with the Grand Master about her. While she has the Will to do what needs to be done and the strength to do it, she takes no credit that refuses to step in the spot light. That is why Varka worries about her so, in his words as a knight while you need to be selfless you cannot let yourself loose who you are because then you will break. Oh if the Grand Master knew where she was now… *sigh*”

Venti “Ah, Captain (Name), the selfless captain of the Knights of Favonius. The day she received her vision you should have seen the Grand Master, he was practically glowing with pride for his little girl… *sigh* but like him I do worry about her, she seems strong but in reality she is fragile and I’m scared that she will break one day.”

Diluc “Lady (Name)? Hmm… she is one of the few knights I still hold in high esteem, she works efficiently and executes everything to the best of her ability. If only he knights did not have so many limitations, then she would truly be able to work the the best of her abilities. Outside of her affairs with the knights, I know her quite personally, she is probably the person I confide in the most… When she returns from her diplomatic mission, which I am somewhat against, you should join us for dinner one night, she dines at the winery with me quite often.”

Childe “The diplomat, ya I hear she’s the daughter of the Grand Master, the Titan of the Knights of Favonius… though she doesn’t seem much of a giant herself, quite the opposite in fact, but her majesty,the Tsaritsa, clearly sees something in her to be a potential threat. She is currently back in Sheznaya as an envoy of the Knights of Favonius, and Capitano has seemed to taken quite the interest in her. If she ever does become a threat I would love the pleasure of being the one to take her on head on in battle… but that honor will probably go to the Captain.”

Diluc Ragnvindr x Reader- Replaced (hurt/comfort??)

You quickly found your abilities became obsolete when Lumine arrived in Mondstadt. Feeling hopeless, you run away, only to be caught by a certain red haired wine tycoon.

(A/n: Ohhhhh my god i actually finished this thing. i started it while i was having a breakdown and finished it yesterday. im actually rlly proud of it lol)

I tried to keep this one as gn as possible and i think i did good. reader has a vision and is in the Knights, id say theyre around as high in the ranks as amber if that makes sense lol.

---------------------------------------------------------

You had worked hard for years to rise to your position in the Knights of Favonius. Although you weren't as high up in the ranks as people like Kaeya or Jean, you pulled your weight and always got the job done. You wielded your weapon with confidence and always did your best to help protect the people of Mondstadt. This had taken you some time, but your efforts had clearly paid off. You were a highly respected and valued member of the Knights of Favonius.

So how come Lumine had barely been in Mondstadt for two weeks and had already risen to your level in the ranks?

No, she wasn't just at your level of hard earned respect- she had surpassed it. Everyone was talking about her. She just showed up in Mondstadt and became a knight (even though it was honorary), a process that everyone else had to work at for years before successfully completing and earning their titles.

You watched as your fellow knights and citizens of the City of Freedom grew to quickly adore her and completely forget about all of the effort you had put in.

You weren't an idiot. You had never been on her level. You weren't all powerful, and you weren't a perfect fighter. You certainly had no reason to be famous. But Lumine was the only person anyone in the Knights was talking about, praising her for deeds like defeating abyss mages and wiping out hilichurl camps, all things you had done many times in the past and hadn't received as much praise as her for accomplishing.

Then, she truly began to replace you. Jean gave tasks normally assigned to you to her, telling you to go home early for the day or go help out with busywork. Usually on the rare occasion you had nothing to do for the day, you would accompany Kaeya on missions, but of course he was busy with her as well. 

And soon, so was Diluc.

You and Diluc had been friends for several years at that point. Although he was normally serious and straightforward, this part of him would crack a little around you. In the last year or two, however, you had found yourself falling for the man.

How could you not? He was dedicated to protecting Mondstadt. He was disciplined and successful, despite all of the hardship he had endured in his late teens with his father and brother. He was caring. And not to mention absolutely gorgeous. But you had always thought he was a bit out of your league, and that he deserved someone on his level.

Like Lumine. 

You saw how close they had gotten, how his identity as the Darknight Hero was revealed to her so quickly, while it had taken years for him to tell you about that part of him- and he had only told you about it because you had caught him putting on his mask as he left the tavern one night. You thought you had come to accept that there was no way he'd love you back, but seeing them get so close stirred feelings within you you thought you had gotten rid of.

For a while, you did nothing, trying to be happy for the girl working so hard to protect the city. As every day passed of going into work and being promptly told you weren't needed, you began to feel worse and worse, growing more and more hopeless with every mention of her name.

All of your insecurities came to a climax during the final fight against Stormterror. When you realized something was going on, you rushed to the Knights of Favonius's headquarters for a briefing. When you asked Jean how you could help, clutching your weapon, declaring you could and would help fight Dvalin, she said you could just stay in Mondstadt and help make sure nothing happened to the citizens.

This was the final straw. A part of you felt selfish, knowing how important it was that the city was protected by capable fighters, but part of you was hurt. Normally you would have gone along to fight a massive threat, but this time you were simply left to hold down the fort.

And when it was all over, when Stormterror was defeated and the city was safe, Lumine was hailed as a hero. You weren't surprised at that point, she had done everything recently, of course she would defeat one of the Four Winds.

You had enough. The night after the battle, as the city was filled with a mixture of celebration and festivity at the quelled threat, and solemn rebuilding of broken homes and businesses, you took the opportunity to leave unnoticed. You wrote a note saying you were quitting the knights and not coming back into the city for a while and left it on Jean's desk. You packed up some of your belongings into a bag- just some clothes, rations, and first aid supplies- and left the city.

You spent a while wandering the continent, venturing into Liyue, seeing pieces of nature you hadn't expected to see so soon in your life and fighting enemies tougher than ones you had fought before. After a while, you decided to wander closer to Mondstadt for a little bit, never going close to the city itself and avoiding the knights whenever you heard they would be near.  You continued to fulfill your oath of protecting people, defeating enemy after enemy that threatened innocents. You fought regisvines, mercenaries and treasure hoarders, and even a hypostasis and emerged victorious from each fight, albeit with some relatively minor injuries. Perhaps some sad part of you still wanted to prove yourself. You grew exponentially during this time, and you didn't even know how long you had been gone- was it one month? Two? It didn't matter. It seemed doubtful that anyone had even noticed you were gone.

You were wandering through the woods a little ways away from Springvale one night when you heard two children crying out for help. Running to the source of the sound, you discovered two children being targeted by two abyss mages and some hilichurls. You saw one of the abyss mages charging a blast of fire to shoot at the kids, and without thinking, you placed yourself in front of the children, taking most of the blast. You charged at the monsters, quickly taking out the hilichurls with a few hits and moving on to the mages. As you told the children to run back into Springvale, a figure appeared behind you. A male voice that sounded fairly familiar called out to you. 

"Those are abyss mages! They're much more dangerous than hilichurls! You stay with the kids!"

You didn't even turn to face the figure as you responded. 

"I know what they are, I've beat way worse! I'll handle this! I'm more than capable of beating a few abyss mages!" You shouted, grunting as you defeated the first mage. A few minutes later you slayed the other one as well. You turned and rushed over to the kids, checking them for any injuries. When you looked up at the mysterious figure, you were horrified to realize you knew who it was.

It was the Darknight Hero, also known as Diluc Ragnvindr.

"Y/N! Where have you been, everyone's been worried about you! Didn't you realize disappearing like that would have everyone worried sick?!"

You felt a pang of guilt at his words. Maybe people really did miss you… but if they truly cared, they wouldn't have replaced you. They wouldn't have thrown you away, you thought.

"Listen, Dilu- I mean, Darknight Hero. I wasn't needed anymore, so I left. It doesn't matter. And anyways, that's not our priority right now. We should make sure these kids get back into Springvale safely."

He grunted. "Alright. I'll go with you into Springvale, but once we drop off these two we need to have a serious discussion about some things."

You and Diluc walked the kids back into Springvale, telling their parents about what had happened and making sure they got into their homes safely. As you two walked out of the town, it almost felt like the air itself was suffocating you. You considered just running away, but that probably wouldn't help much. He could catch up with you. 

What did he think about you now? He probably hated you for running away. He had probably completely replaced you with Lumine by now. They were probably dating.

After what felt like an eternity of walking through the woods, you and Diluc made it to the Windrise tree. As you gazed up at the tree, Diluc broke the silence.

"So where have you been all this time?" 

"I walked to Liyue. I travelled through there for a while but wanted to stop near home for a little bit. I plan on seeing the rest of Liyue, going through the Chasm, and then going to Sumeru later this month."

"Why exactly did you have to leave so suddenly? You never told me you were planning to visit Liyue. I would've said goodbye to you before you left."

As he said that, he turned his gaze towards the sky. He looked… regretful?

"I wasn't planning on it."

"So you just randomly decided to travel to another nation one night?"

"Not exactly."

He suddenly turned towards you and looked straight into your eyes. 

"So why did you leave, y/n? Did someone tell you to leave? Were you threatened? What aren't you telling me?!?"

As he spoke, he started to sound more frenzied. Although seeing his tough facade fade sometimes was nice to watch, this was scary. You started to feel guilty for leaving without telling him.

"Diluc, nobody threatened me. I left because Mondstadt and the Knights don't need me. They found someone better and I got tired of feeling useless every day." You shifted and looked towards the ground. "I've done more while traveling this last month or two than I have in so long. Since Lumine got here I haven't had an opportunity to use my weapon, but I've gotten to fight so many more things and help so many more people than I did back in Mondstadt during the Stormterror crisis. And I doubt anyone truly missed me. If they said they did, they probably just said it out of courtesy. I'm sure they'll all be fine, they have Lumine now." As you mentioned her name, you felt spite run through your veins. "She can clearly do so much more than I ever could."

You lifted your head to look at Diluc. He had a look of shock on his face, and didn't say anything for a second. Then he finally spoke.

"So you're saying you left because you were jealous of the Traveler?"

Your tone changed to something angrier, sharper.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that."

Diluc sighed. "I'm sorry that they all made you feel that way. But rest assured, nobody meant to replace you. I'm sure they didn't realize what they were doing. You could never be replaced, y/n-"

"How could you POSSIBLY say that I could never be replaced when you replaced me too!"

You didn't even realize you were shouting at Diluc.

"What are you talking about, y/n? I could never replace you! You are a wonderful person, why would I ever want someone else in my life?"

"You did replace me, Diluc! Just like everyone else did! You completely stopped visiting me when she got here! Whenever I tried to find you, you were with her! You abandoned me for her!"

At this point, you were starting to cry as you yelled at him. "And I can't even be angry at her because you deserve someone like her! You deserve someone so much better than me! She's perfect- she's beautiful, and so strong, and has accomplished so much, and everyone loves her, and look at me! I'm never going to compare to her! It's no wonder you're in love with her…"

Although you said the last part of your rant under your breath, he still heard what you said.

"Y/n. Please. Look at me."

You looked at him.

"I am afraid I must apologize to you. I am so, so sorry for how I've treated you recently, and I'm so sorry it took all this for me to realize my mistakes. I promise you, I never meant to replace you with Lumine. The truth is, I've been busy recently with her because we've been investigating the Abyss Order. The Abyss Order manipulated Dvalin into attacking the city, and I was busy trying to get to the bottom of the situation without worrying the citizens of Mondstadt. I should've tried to make time for you, and I know sorry probably isn't enough, but I'm afraid it's all I have to give at this moment."

Suddenly, it all made sense. You should've figured he'd be trying to help with the Stormterror threat. And of course she would be able to help with that. You felt some of the jealousy fade away, but some of it still clung on to your heart, a weight waiting to be lifted.

"And another thing."

He looked away from you, glancing at the ground.

"Your notion that I am in love with Lumine is incorrect. Although I now consider her a good friend, the feelings I hold towards her and you are different. You mean much more to me than she ever has. The entire time we were out chasing after the Abyss, you were all I could think about, and when you disappeared I was terrified for you. So please trust me when I say she is not the one I love, but you are."

You were in disbelief. Did Diluc really just say he felt the same way towards you? 

"Wait, Diluc. Did you just- are you saying that you have feelings for me?"

Although his head was turned away from you, you could see a blush spread across his face. 

"Yes, that…is what I'm trying to say. I've grown to love you in the time we've spent together. I tried to ignore it for the sake of our friendship but as more and more time has passed it has become increasingly difficult to ignore. If this damages our relationship so be it. You deserve to know the truth."

Stunned, your mind went blank of a reply for a moment. You took a deep breath before replying.

"Diluc, I… I love you too. I'm so, so sorry I left without telling you, and I'm so sorry I was jealous of you and Lumine, and I'm so sorry for making you worry about me, and I love you so much, I- I-"

At this point you were crying and couldn't form a proper sentence. You looked down, hiding your head in your hands, too embarrassed to look at Diluc. He wrapped his arms around you and put one hand on the back of your head, pulling you into a warm embrace. Although he was generally standoffish, you had to admit he was a great hugger. You sobbed in his arms for a while, letting out months worth of stress. You kept babbling little "I'm sorrys" and other incoherent apologies, but he kept his arms around you the whole time, comforting you and assuring you that it was okay and he loved you. After a while you stopped crying, and at that point the sun was beginning to rise. You and Diluc stood under the great Windrise Tree and watched the sun slowly rise among the cloudscape.

"If you want to keep traveling I won't stop you, but I think you should stop by the Knight's headquarters and tell Jean and Kaeya that you're okay. They've all been worried about you."

"Yeah, you're right, I probably should. But I wanna stay with you for now…" you said as you leaned into him once again. You suddenly let out a loud yawn, realizing how tired you were from a night of fighting and crying. Diluc also noticed your sleepiness.

"Do you want to go back to the winery with me to get some sleep?"

"Yes. That would be absolutely wonderful. I'm exhausted."

"Then let's go."

You and Diluc walked back to the Dawn Winery in the light of the early morning sun, holding hands and talking about everything that had happened while you were apart. When you got back to the winery, you slept through much of the day in your lover's arms, and spent the rest of it making up for lost time, telling stories of your adventures and eating food Adelinde brought you. 

It felt like a burden had been lifted off of you, and you could finally enjoy days of peace with Diluc without standing in the shadow of another person.

Bonus:

The next day, Diluc took you to the Knights of Favonius's headquarters. Everyone was surprised, but pleased at your return. Diluc explained why you had left to your superiors, and they rushed to apologize to you.

It turned out that right after you left for Liyue, so did Lumine as she sought the Geo Archon. And with two of their best workers gone, the Knights were barely coping with rebuilding the city from Stormterror's damages. 

You could tell they were truly remorseful for how they had treated you the last few months, with even the normally aloof Kaeya looking grim as the situation was explained to him.

It also turned out that you weren't the only one fed up with their actions after Lumine's arrival. Many other knights felt like they had been cast aside after the Traveler's arrival. You were just the only one to leave.

You weren't sure if you could forgive them just yet, and you knew you wanted to travel some more before officially returning to the knights. 

But now you knew how truly important you were to your friends in the Knights, and you had a loving boyfriend to boot. Overall, things were finally starting to look up for you, and you knew that no matter how far you traveled from your homeland, you would have people waiting for you when you got home. 

Finding the one you loved had truly led to the ending you deserved.

Platonic! Kaeya and Diluc with a GN younger sibling

Just general headcanons pls!

<3

my apologies for how long this took ive been extremely busy i hope you like it :)

Platonic! Kaeya and Diluc with a GN younger sibling

~feat. diluc and kaeya

!!WARNINGS!! : pure fluff, a tad bit of angst, gn!reader

so kaeya and diluc with a younger sibling

id like to think that growing up the two of them would compete to be your favourite sibling

like they'd do things to get you to like them more then the other

maybe theyd get you you're favourite food or a toy you really wanted

kaeya was always really smug if you liked what he got you and would rub it in diluc's face

and then diluc would of course try to out do kaeya's gift

id like to think that this little rivalry wouldn't go away as they grew up

the two of them would still continue to try to win your favour

despite you telling them over and over that you don't have a favourite sibling and that you love both equally they would not listen

"[name] my dear sweet sibling, I'm a better brother then diluc aren't I?"

"kaeya stop bothering them, besides I'm clearly the better brother"

them constantly competing with one another may be a bit much at times but it made you happy to see them together and acknowledging one another as brothers

the two of them let you do what you want and aren't protective to the point that they restrict your activities

however being the youngest does mean they'll still be protective

if you were to ever get hurt the two of them would be livid

they don't cooperate often but when it comes to your safety they put aside their issues

when it comes to relationships the two of them are equally protective

to them no one is good enough for their beloved sibling

however if you truly love someone they wouldn't say anything

but if they hurt you

oh boy

barbatos have mercy on that person (i mean they hurt you so I don't think they need mercy)

but the chances of that happening are very low

everyone in mondstadt know how much those two care about you and no ones dumb enough to make two of the strongest people in mondstadt angry

they both love you very much

sometimes you think about when the three of you were kids

the fun happy times you had playing with jean and barbara

you all miss those times

you wish you could go back to the way things were but after everything that's happened you don't think it'll go back to exactly how it was

you do hope that one day your brothers make up and you can at least become a happy family again

[rush-the-stars]

having insane thoughts about kaeya again i actually want to ruin his life sorry sorry sorry i want to beat him up. i hate him. (no i don’t). i blacked out and finished writing this.

pairing: kaeya x f!reader

cw: toxic dynamic. unhealthy relationship. arguing. slapping (reader to kaeya), fighting, biting, blood, hair pulling, wrestling, smut. no prep, rough sex. no protection. kaeya is a bit of a masochist. public sex? quickie. poor diluc :// sorry diluc :// i promise ill make it up to you and write a fic where kaeya almost catches you fucking the reader </3

***

kaeya ducks as the glass you threw at him sails over his head and shatters against the back wall.

diluc is going to kill him if you don't first.

he has to bite back the wild grin threatening to tear across his face as he pokes his head back up. you look furious, glare marring your pretty features, eyes aflame.

god, you look good.

"you son of a bitch–" you curse him and there's plenty of tables and chairs between the two of you so he feels relatively safe in his place across the room from you. because of the distance, you opt for another glass and lob it at him. again, he ducks, let's the glass shatter above his head and rain down in a flare of sparkling light that catches gold in the tavern.

"what the hell is going on up there?" he hears diluc call.

"i'm going to kill kaeya!" you holler back and this time, you clamber over the tables between you two to get to him.

he yelps in surprise, clambering up, but you lunge for him before he can get far. you both go tumbling backwards onto the wood floor, sparks of glass digging into his back and his arms as he wrestles with you. he gets out from under you briefly, until you knee him in the stomach.

a startled laugh barks out of him, a little broken, weak, as you tackle him again. get on top of him.

the slap that cracks across his cheek is enough to make him taste blood. you are a knight, after all, your hits pack heat.

a grin creeps across his face as he touches lightly at his lip, your hips coming down over his to sit on him, pin him down but–

you squeak in surprise now. face going furiously hot.

“are you seriously—?!” you hiss.

his hips flex a little and he presses up against the heat between your own legs.

“you’re sick!” you snarl, voice low and hot and kaeya can’t help the laugh he lets out again, dark and soft.

“c’mon,” he hums, “let’s rough house a little more.”

in one swift move, he shoves you off him and gets you under, flat on your back, legs hitched around his waist. you snap and twist and buck like a wild thing and he grits his teeth through his excited smile, wrestling with you.

it’s artless, it’s just bodies and brute force, shoving himself harder against you. deeper into you.

your struggles must be heard from below. you’re tucked away into a dark corner on the second level. diluc cannot see the two of you from this vantage point. still, he no doubt can hear.

“take your fighting out of my tavern!” diluc shouts.

“one second!” kaeya calls back, laughing again, when he manages to get one of your wrists pinned, “just need to show this little brat whose in charge.”

with renewed vigor, you thrash and turn. growling and grunting.

you kick now, flailing. and then your free hand swats at his face again, connects with another smack, but this time with a little less grace.

it gives you enough wiggle room, though, at least for a moment to get your bearings and turn him over onto his back again. his shoulder knocks into the leg of a table, which screeches and clatters on the wooden floor.

“bastard!” you curse at him, “stupid, lying—“

“i didn’t lie!” he protests, voice going high, amused and clearly enjoying this. especially as he presses his hips up again between your legs just to watch you tumble forward a bit and lose your balance.

your hand flattens against his chest to catch yourself and the angle opens you up to him more. he bites back a groan.

your face is hot, he can tell, hair a mess—wild thing that you are, your chest spills out of your top, onto his own chest. and you’re so warm, so soft on top of him, squirming with embarrassment and anger.

archons, you look good angry.

“fucking—dammit—kaeya—“ you bite out when he suddenly captures your waist in broad hands and drags your hips in a slow roll.

your fingers tighten in his shirt and he feels the faint bite of nails.

“kaeya!” diluc barks from below.

“hit me again,” he whispers.

“what?” you’re breathless.

“hit me again,” he says with a grin.

you hesitate, especially now that he’s got you distracted, that he’s got you in his lap like this. if you were in a private place, he’d already have you laid out, but there’s something thrilling about—

your hand cracks across his face again. this one stings so good that he does groan.

hopefully it sounds pained enough.

before he can even bring his head back from where it’d snapped to the side, you’re seizing his face with your hand and leaning down to kiss him.

this time he has to fight a dark, lewd groan. his eyes roll behind his shut lids, fluttering a little against your cheek.

to keep up the facade, kaeya reaches blindly for the legs of the table. when he finds it, he jostles it, rattles it to sound like there’s more commotion.

you’re grinding down hard onto him now, all on your own. good girl that you are, desperate thing that you are, he loves when you get like this.

you must taste his blood in your mouth when you suck on his bottom lip.

he pulls away, taking in your face, your eyes that are glazed with a simmering sort of lust.

he rolls you onto your back again and thank archons you don’t go easy. you don’t take anything lying down, he knows that, he thinks fondly.

you struggle with him again and in all your kicking, a chair topples over and clatters.

“whatever you two break up there, you’re paying for!” diluc hollers again.

but kaeya is too busy wrenching your pants down, panties coming all in one go and you gasp in shock, eyes going wide and terrified. it’s only enough to get you bare for him, caught around your thighs which are pressed tight and stuck together, so he throws both over one side of his hips.

“bill it to the knights of favonious!” kaeya calls back and there’s a wild edge to his voice, a glint in his eyes that only you can pull out of him.

he unbuckles his own pants just enough, frees himself, aching and so hard it hurts and hot. he grits his teeth when he fists himself, just to press the head up against your slick folds.

your nails bite into his chest.

“kaeya—“ you warn.

with his free hand he covers your mouth.

“bite my hand,” he whispers and before you can react at all, he pushes inside you with a rough flex of his hips and watches your face transform. your eyes nearly cross before they flutter shut, teeth sinking hard down into his palm.

the noise you make behind his palm is thankfully one that could be mistaken for pain. he grips your face hard. grips your waist so hard it’ll bruise. he pants, harsh, trying to get ahold of himself so he doesn’t rut into you like an animal.

although—

“shit—“ he curses, feeling your walls pathetically flutter around him, try to take him.

“i’d say i’m sorry, but i think you deserve this a little,” kaeya husks, leaning heavier into you as he snaps his hips against yours. he can feel how wet you are. how hot.

oh, he’s going to lose it, he knows—

“are you two done fighting?” diluc snaps, “are you going to clean up my tavern? customers will be here soon!”

kaeya reaches out blindly again to shove the table hard enough that it wobbles again, but this time, the glass that had been atop of it clatters uncertainly, before careening to the ground.

it shatters and you gasp in shock as the glass sparks against the two of you.

kaeya laughs wildly, fucking into you a little harder, rutting down, hardly leaving the hot clutch of your cunt.

“archons! are you two serious?!”

you pry his hand off your mouth finally and he realizes his palm is bloody with your teeth marks. your mouth is smeared with it.

“i fucking—“ you get out, —hate you.”

but your eyes are fluttering against your cheeks again and kaeya leans down to catch you in another brutal kiss, lodging himself deep inside you, hardly pulling out with deep, hard thrusts.

your hand tangles in his hair before sinking into a fist, curling hard to pull at the roots of his hair. he bites your lip, catching it between teeth until you yelp a little, until you pull harder.

your other hand claws at his shoulders, half-mauls him, even through his clothes.

“kaeya—“ your voice pitches a little. he knows that sound well.

“sshh,” he hushes, “ssh.” even as his hips don’t slow, breathing uneven, “are you close?”

he breathes it against your jaw, your throat that he then sinks his teeth into desperately.

you pull at his hair again, nodding dumbly, a whimper eeking out of your throat.

he can feel you—your walls tightening up, oh gods, his head is near spinning. heady. delirious with it. he’s lost to the feeling of it all, the quick burn of pain, the molten spark of pleasure. the risk of it all—

your body locks up, and you keen before kaeya’s hand comes up to cover your mouth again and muffle the sound.

he laughs again, quieter, breathless, in awe, as his hips grind desperately into your pulsing walls. sucking down on him. he’s not going to last, doesn’t think he should anyways because—

“i’m coming up there!” diluc warns, which means he must suspect something. kaeya’s heart pounds wildly.

he pushes deep inside you, shudders hard and this time, it’s your hand tightening across his mouth, other hand fisting his hair tight to hold him in place and keep his own moan, which in private would’ve been so desperate and lewd, down behind his teeth. behind your hand. the pressure in his gut snaps to release, expanding in a hot, shocking blaze throughout his body.

he comes hard, deep inside of you. he pants against your hand, only for a moment, before he hears footsteps at the bottom of the stairs.

both your eyes widen and in a flurry of limbs and movement, you’re both shucking your pants back into the right place and trying to right yourselves. kaeya is still twitching and sensitive with aftershocks—wishes he could’ve stayed deep inside you, wishes—

“i swear, if you two are—“

in a stroke of genius, you launch yourself at him again, sending him careening back into the glass. he mindlessly struggles, just as diluc rounds the stairs and sees the two of you.

still fighting, panting, faces perhaps a little too flushed.

diluc seems almost relieved to see it really had been fighting.

but then he sees the state of his poor tavern; the glass scattered around the floor, the chairs that have toppled over, and the two of you. a mess.

kaeya shoves you off of him.

“we’ll clean it,” he promises smoothly, lifting his hands to show defeat, only for diluc’s eyes to narrow on the bloody ring of teeth marks on his palm.

he glances over at you, with a glare still marring your pretty face. and a large love bite now blooming on your throat.

diluc looks weary, tired. and then he sighs heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“kaeya, pull up your fly. and both of you, get out of my tavern.”

kaeya glances down at his offending pants, only to see that diluc is correct—his fly is still down.

your face is mortified.

but kaeya throws his head back and laughs, hard enough that you sock him in the shoulder, bad enough bruise. and enough that diluc snaps again;

“i said get out!”

he hauls you up now and knows when it’s time to make himself scarce, pushing you down the stairs, where the two of you stumble, and out the door.

the sun simmers bronze as it begins to sink into early evening. the two of you must look like disasters in its brilliant light.

he zips up his fly with a crooked, lovestruck smile.

you shove him hard, cursing at him, and stomping away.

“i can’t stand you! what is your problem?” you snap, just as he catches up to you and wrestles you under his arm. you fight him a little, but he secures his bicep around your neck, pulling you tighter to him.

“i could ask the same of you, brat. you’re the one who started this.”

you stop fighting so fitfully, going slack enough that you just lean into his side as you walk together. beneath his arm.

“my problem is you,” you grouse.

“uh huh,” he agrees, and then asks innocently, “not the mess i left ins—“

you elbow him hard enough in the stomach that he doubles over with it, wind knocked out of him. but he laughs again, even as you storm off—

and he laughs even harder when he picks his head up, light from the sun catching across his face, because he knows where you’re headed. he knows where you’ll be, where you’ll always go, no matter how mad and waspish you pretend to be, no matter how bad your bite or your bark.

and archons, he’d have it no other way but this.

because you’re headed to his place—just as you always are.

[leeryder]

A compilation of my Ragbros Headcanons thus far

Sleeping:

Kaeya sleeps on his side, but he never sleeps on his left side due to it making where his dominate eye would be covered and he couldn’t see any possible threats coming. Making it where he mostly sleeps on his right side so the eyepatch is in the pillow, and allowing him to clearly see anyone approaching him should he wake up. The only times he would sleep on his left side was when he was little and he and Diluc would share a bed because he felt safe and didn’t think he needed to constantly be on guard when his brother was by him. 

And He prefers to hug something while he sleeps and curls up around it because he is touch starved. 

Hair:

Kaeya had shorter hair when he arrived at Mond (similar cut to Dains and Albedo) but he grew it out so he could look like Crepus and Diluc. 

Food:

He has a bad habit of eating properly. As in if he’s busy he will just push through the hunger until his task is complete. The other Knights know this so they bring him food, Lisa drags him away for tea time, and others have instructed Klee to go get him to take her to lunch because they know he wouldn’t let Klee go hungry and she makes him eat with her. One of Klee’s very important knight jobs is to take Kaeya to lunch, which she takes very seriously. 

Kaeya is a grazer when it comes to eating. He nibbles on things throughout the day and prefers light snacks and meals compared to three heavy ones. 

Diluc, however, is a hearty eater and likes to eat large protein-packed meals. He always was hungry growing up and would eat whenever it was offered. 

Diluc always wanted to make sure kaeya was eating too, so he would always break off part of what he as eating when Kaeya didn’t order for himself and give it to him to nibble on. Their system made it where Diluc didn’t over eat, but Kaeya didn’t grow hungry later on.

Debts:

Kaeya hates owing debts. He will do everything in his power to pay someone back for helping him out, whether they know it or not. If you help him or he sees/hears about you helping someone he cares about you’re now on his radar and he will look for any opportunity to pay you back. Most of the time, he pays people back without them ever realizing it. 

Someone was having an issue with a bully? Suddenly that bully won’t even look them in the eye anymore.

Another person was looking for a certain item and couldn’t find it anywhere? It magically appears in their mail one day. 

Scared to walk home alone at night from work? Suddenly the Knights patrolling route has changed and you have an escort everyday. 

Jean:

When they were teenagers Kaeya saw how overworked Jean was with the pressure of living to her mother’s expectations, so he would go out of his way to try and do things to help her relax and have fun such as:

-throwing water balloons at their superior offices and forcing him and Jean to run and hide so they didn’t get caught.

-catching a frog or some other animal and bringing them to show her (especially any turtles he found) because they made her smile and talk in a baby voice 

-buying her her favorite snack and dropping them off on her shift and telling her the latest gossip he heard 

-dragging her off to a midnight bonfire with Diluc where they roast marshmallows and swap ghost stories 

Temperament:

Crepus is where Diluc gets his hotheadedness from. Crepus and Diluc’s love can grow too hot and turn into anger quickly (desire to protect others, frustration when someone doesn’t take care of themselves etc). And they are naturally loud people so they constantly have to check themselves so they don’t accidentally shout when excited about something or when they’re talking and joking. 

Kaeya was the complete opposite and his fury goes cold and silent. And would be very reserved. 

Crepus & Diluc really had to try to make sure they didn’t over-talk K when he first arrived and checked each other when one accidentally did it (not to be mean they just got excited and wanted to join the conversation). Kaeya slowly started getting a bit louder and C & D grew a bit softer. 

Books:

Kaeya is a book worm. It first started off as a way to gather information about Mond without seeming suspicious, but turned into a genuine hobby as he grew. 

As a kid he read more nonfiction: history of Mond, knights handbook, flower identifications, animal books (so he could discuss them with Diluc), gardening books (for Crepus), books about wine (for Crepus), fighting tactics, historical teyvat figures, barbatos history etc 

But after his father died and Diluc left he found himself reading sappy fiction books with happy endings and found family. Where the hero always ends up in a happy ever after with their loved ones. 

Lisa knows this and specifically gets books like this for him to read. They often discuss them together. Jean occasionally will too if she has time.

Animals:

Kaeya wasn’t the biggest fan of animals when he first arrived at Mond. They scared him, but Diluc was an animal whisperer/fanatic since birth. D realized that K was scared of them so made it his childhood mission to show K that (most) animals were nice. 

He fact-dumped information to K. Explaining their behaviors and body language. Reading animal books and showing him how to properly interact with them Because K seemed to calm when he had info, instructions, and logic to help him understand.

Maybe he even got a pet tortoise because it was a slow moving animal that wouldn’t easily startle or bite. Allowing K the space he needed to easily get adjusted to it. Letting him see animals were good and kind. 

D’s love for animals rubbed off on K. And now ppl find the Calvary Captain lovingly taking care of his horses and the stray cats of Mond. 

Seashells:

 What if on the day Diluc and Kaeya went seashell collecting when they were kids was the day Crepus asked Kaeya if he wanted to be adopted and Crepus planned a whole special day at the beach to ask him and celebrate and that is why Kaeya has kept the seashells this whole time because that’s when he became a Ragnvindr 

[strwberri-milk]

hii !! could i ask for kaeya discovering that his sibling betrayed him and the nation they were rised in ( imagining he sides with mondstadt ) , like they involved themselves with forbidden knowledge and so so . his sibling were caught red handed by him and they plead guilty , but little did kaeya know that they did this to protect him and that he could live a happy life . u can decide if it's either just pure angst , or angst/comfort ! also i hope its not too confusin or uncomfortable , kisses sweety !

uhhhh i did my best w this prompt bc?? i think i understand it but i dont really have. the capacity to write it as detailed as i think it needs to be (sorry lack of brain power is terminal here) - i chose to be more general w the transgression bc again. not enough brainpower to fully plot out a whole little fic also unnamed character death bc i decided ot kill off sibling

Kaeya was devastated to find his sibling there, red handed and very clearly doing something that would bring harm to the peaceful life he finally managed to scrape together with bloodied hands. There's nothing more in the world he's decided he needs to protect than this little happiness.

He thought that they were dead. He didn't expect to find them here like this but now that he has he knows he has a decision to make. Just the mere presence of them was dangerous but now, there was absolutely nothing he could do. Maybe if they weren't so clearly betraying him and his new home he could have turned a blind eye to it, taken them in under his wing and given them a second chance.

Instead, he's forced to raise his blade and fight, not wanting to kill them but hoping to just...scare them away enough to never return. He fights hard, knuckles white on his blade from the exertion of the fight and holding back at the same time. They can see the conflict on his face and they know that even if they faked their death on his blade Kaeya could never live with himself. He's always been kind and something like this would devastate him.

When they spot their opening they manage to run away, feigning a full surrender to him before swearing they'll never see him again. He doesn't know whether to be upset or relieved, staring at the footprints they've left in the ground for longer than he cares to admit.

The next time he receives news of them is by bird. A creature that he scarcely recognises from his childhood delivers him a scroll with their dying words, blood spattering the pale parchment. They wish him well, promising him that everything they did was for Kaeya - he'd given up so much, they just want him to finally be greedy himself. They promise him that their death is not in vain - it was the only thing they could offer him that would give him what he wanted - a happy life.

Kaeya's never really the same afterwards. Somehow, it seems that the weight has lifted off of him but he's grown more nostalgic. He spends more time with Klee, really works on fixing things with Diluc and others from his youth. Everything he does now is to honour his sibling's memory, promising himself that he'll ensure their death means something, even if their memory only exists in his own mind.

[kaeyachi]

do you know about lord Krishna (a deity) of the Hindu mythology? I'm not much of a religious person but i know ab him a lot bcz of coming from a religious household and somethings ab him and kaeya just clicks so much

I actually thought ab it bcz kaeya's constellation is a peacock and Krishna is often symbolized with peacock feathers, so i looked into it . I think there might be some links connecting the both but I can't say for sure everything is connected but somethings might be telling us what might happen in the future lore.

And if i really post it rather than keep it in my mind can I tag you?

Thank you for asking, anon! I do know a bit about Krishna (my mom had a Bollywood phase and Krishna was frequently mentioned) but I have a feeling you know better than me. I wish I knew more than just the basics, but there are a lot of similarities between them other than just the peacock symbolism!

I also realized while seeing some Desi!Kaeya fanart that he gives the same energy as to when I see images of Krishna (the fanarts are so good. Probably one of my favorite types of Kaeya art)

I will be using some texts from wiki to better explain my MAIN points because my mind is a mess and I need to learn to control my blabbering!! If i didn't do this, who knows how long this post will get...

Feel free to use this as a basis as well! I'd be happy to get tagged when you post about his possible future for in-game lore. For people knowledgable in Hindu, please feel free to expand on this as well!

"He is the god of protection, compassion, tenderness, and love"

-Kaeya has been portrayed as a protective force of Mondstat along with the rest of the knights.

-Noteworthy moments are him being said to protect a nun's family and his roundabout way in protecting Diluc's identity as the darknight hero

-"Specializes in awakening knightly virtues in others." - Text in TCG card

-he is the guy who planned a birthday party for a friend in secret and passed the praise to someone else.

-several instances of Klee mentioning him being like a big brother to her (him making her a survival handbook and teaching her tcg)

- he has a cryo vision. Love has always been a main topic when it concerns them, especially since their archon representative is the Goddess of Love

"They portray him in various perspectives: as a god-child, a prankster, a model lover, a divine hero, and the universal supreme being."

-his father has dubbed him as their last hope, already putting him on a (very bad for a child) pedestal. He is clearly seen as a possible hero for them and the entirety of Khaenri'ah

-seemingly the only curseless Khaenri'ahn thus far (hope we learn more in 3.5), and perhaps even "blessed" to have a vision

-known to prank and tease people enough that most descriptions of him are exactly about that

-was said to be the elderly's top choice for grandson-in-law

-crack idea but the game has this habit of inserting anecdotes or comments about Kaeya as much as possible to make sure to remind you of him. Suspicious, but so far its mostly funny things. He also seems to be a universal representative in-game oddly enough (frequently the face of tutorials or is part of the character trials).

Kaeya having Desi themes is definitely the biggest indicator to this. Were he not designed and named in such a way, many of us would have probably brushed this off (probably wouldnt have even connected the dots)

I hope this inspires further discussion. This topic is genuinely interesting in my opinion :)

Neck Bites/Kisses From The Boys || Headcannons ||

This is all fueled with my need to make Mod Kaeya squirm, she has a thing for neck bites/kisses so this is why this post now exists lmao. Enjoy the boys claiming you to themselves~ fyi this isn't exactly smut or fluff so like... I dunno... its just random at this point - Mod Diluc

Mod Diluc's really mean to me guys :( - Mod Kaeya

Kaeya

He will just do it randomly.

No reason other than he has looked at you and decided; "yea i wanna do that now."

He loves you and finds everything about you attractive down to the last small detail, so he has to make sure he makes everyone aware you are his.

Yes that is how he sees it 100%. Claiming you as his.

Its almost just a pure predatory action that erupts from inside him.

He will often kiss your neck gently and slowly, planting them like small gifts against your skin.

He likes to make you feel relaxed and more easy to 'dominate' so when he does strike you'll show little retaliation.

Gentle nips with added licks of his tongue to persuade amusing reactions from you.

Before sinking his teeth in and sucking at your skin roughly, he will add pressure because you know he wants to brag about this.

He cannot have disappointing neck bites for a result when he brags about how you're his.

He will not be happy but will understand if you hide your neck when leaving your house into public.

If he sees you leaving the house with a scarf on he will chuckle to himself with a massive smirk plastered across his face.

Nonstop teasing will ensue btw.

"A scarf in summer? Are you feeling okay Y/N?"

He will relish in the fact you're embarrassed over it and trying to act so calm around him.

However if you do decide to show it off it'll fill him with uncontrollable joy.

He will be smiling all day and keeping you by his side with the most smug and content face you've ever seen him have.

Either way he is gonna still love you and plan to keep marking you as his in the future.

Childe

You are his.

End of. You are just his.

Whether you agree or not he is going to leave a very sizable and noticeable hickey.

If you even attempt to refuse he will just laugh in his playful way while holding your hands above your head.

You are not escaping this.

He will bite down hard on purpose to just to hear you squeal and feel you squirm under his weight.

You are truly stunning to him and you drive him up the wall with how sexy you are, so he would be insane to not claim you immediately.

He definitely sees this as a territorial thing, almost a battle actually.

Sinking his teeth into your neck means he wins the fight however- and is made victorious by the fact you are now his and everyone is very much aware of this matter now.

You will NOT be allowed to hide it, at all. No, absolutely not.

You are his and everyone needs to know this as clearly as possible.

Wearing a scarf? He will pull it off.

Turtleneck? He will just tear the top of it completely off while giggling manically.

He won't brag per say but he will hold you to his hip with his arm round your hip, you are glued to him at this point.

He is allowed to be clingy and possessive now that you are officially his.

A dumb goofy grin plastered across his lips all day and everyday to come- as long as the hickey is still prominent.

The moment his mark starts to fade from your skin you can bet your life his mood will change and he will become like a tantrum child.

Eventually he will snap and just do it all over again- but if you mention it to him first and expose your neck to him he will in fact go buy a ring to propose to you later that day.

Its been made official, you are going to be his FOREVER.

Xiao

He's doing this for you. Be grateful.

Whose gonna fuck with you when you've been claimed by him?

It'll give him peace at mind to know your weak self is safe when he's not there to physically protect you.

It's one of the few ways to show and express he does actually care for you a great deal.

It's because he loves you but he'll never admit that. Not right now anyway.

He will keep it to himself that he also enjoys seeing you claimed by him. Despite being so weak and feeble he still wants you as his alone.

He doesn't know how to be smooth about doing it however.

He'll probably just hold you down and bite right in, probably mistake your cry of shocked pain as surprising pleasure.

But he'll mutter in a short breathy take; "Mine."

You know yourself your heart will flutter at that as you've got the angry adeptus now crazy enough about you that he needs to mark you.

The hickey will be very big and visible and probably hurt for a few days after still.

Slight stinging or aching because ya know, he used his demi god like power to just claim you.

But don't expect much sympathy from him, you wanna be with him then deal with the consequences honey.

He won't bother thinking about having to remark you however since he used enough strength and power to keep you marked for months.

However when he does clock onto the fact his hickey has faded from your neck he's gonna grow infuriated with the fact you haven't told him.

Are you trying to avoid being protected? Do you think you're allowed to go around without a trace of him on you? No.

"How are the other pathetic mortals suppose to know you're mine. Remind me next time understood? Tsk."

Albedo

He's not sure why he wants to do it, he doesn't often care for the physical aspects of a relationship.

But he wants to do it with you for some reason, it may even be because he knows you like it secretly.

He does seek to please everyone and you're no exception.

He'll do it very awkwardly at first- because he's so out of touch with being intimate.

Kissing your neck gently and softly running his hands up and down your body.

You'll be right in the thick of that warm fuzzy feeling of being close and intimate with him-

And then he just blurts out "Do I bite your neck now? Is that something you want?"

Completely destroys the mood- poor boy doesn't understand, forgive him.

You'll probably try stop it there but that will just spur him on so he'll end up suddenly sinking his teeth in anyway.

It'll feel good I can assure you that. Despite being so inexperienced with most intimate things he'll somehow manage to make it feel pleasurable.

Deep down he'll actually feel very happy that's he's been allowed to mark you as his. He's not a very primal type of guy. But he knows what this action means.

So when he sees you throughout the day he can't help but crack a small smile at the sight of his small dark hickey planted on your neck.

A sense of pride for some reason- being a man of science he'll back up this feeling with logical explanations.

He'll keep redoing it too when it starts to fade because he'll oddly start to enjoy doing it as well as seeing the reactions of other people when they see.

I think you just gave him another kink. Congratulations.

Zhongli

He'll find this very inappropriate.

Trying to be a gentleman an all- biting and marking you at the neck doesn't seem very sensible.

However he will have an inner voice urging him to comply with little restraint.

Deep down he's gonna be so thrilled you bought up the idea- and he's gonna also realise how much he actually wants to do it.

The bite will sting, mostly because he's probably unaware of just how strong he actually is compared to a mortal.

If he applies to much pressure and hears you let a sound of discomfort out he'll pull away and apologise.

He'll probably be a bit hesitant to try again- but if you keep pushing and asking he'll give into his inner voice again soon enough.

Doing it a lot more better next time around- kissing and licking along your neck slowly before planting the 'eternal kiss' as he likes to call it.

The hickey will be dark and big, very noticeable basically. It'll look more painful than it actually was- it was actually really pleasurable for the both of you.

Unbridled pride ensue afterwards however.

You'll see him have more of an upbeat attitude for the next few months.

If people notice and question he'll simply chuckle off the questioning to you.

Answering for you with sentences like "Well that's hardly any of your business good sir."

And when the time comes where the mark starts to fade he'll get an irritated itch scratching in his mind.

Till eventually you'll just hear him one day when you're both alone together just shyly say;

"Y/N. Do you... mind if I claim you again? The mark is fading and I'm ashamed to say but I can't stop wanting to put it back."

Venti

Hes too wholesome.

He'll probably be thinking about doing this like this to you alot. But he'll never voice them out to you.

YOU will have to be the one who asks him to do it.

He'll feel his heart flutter when you do and probably blush hard in response.

A stuttering and stumbling mess- he'll look so adorable it'll become too much to cope with at some points.

He'll be more than happy to comply however. Very excitedly getting closer to you and getting a bit carried away.

Planting quick soft kisses along your neck while muttering honey covered compliments to you.

Before swallowing down and then hyping himself up slightly inside before biting down on your skin.

Surprisingly nice feeling straight off.

Considering its his first time doing something like this, he's more than just good at it.

You'll be more than willing to show off the hickey your sweet anemo archon has given you.

He'll be blushing more than you will if people question its sudden appearance and whereabouts.

Giggling and chuckling and just planting a soft kiss on his cheek to soften his nerves and embarrassment.

Give him time to get use to doing something like this, it's all new to him.

However once he does get over his initial embarrassment he'll become rather... different.

He'll start biting you more often before the old hickeys even begin to fade. Eventually you'll be painted in hickeys all over your neck.

He's gonna get too into it. But his new found likeness in claiming you has awoken something in him and he wants to do it more and more. Becoming more dominant and daring.

You've possibly planted a seed of a growing beast now. Too late to back out however. Goodluck.

Diluc

He doesn't wanna do it at first, at all.

He thinks it's slightly wrong of him to impose on you in such a way.

He doesn't think it's right because he'll find it like an attempt to own you which he doesn't wanna do.

He wants you to himself of course but he wants to make sure you're comfortable and have your own say.

However if you do ask him nice enough and beg with just the right amount of puppy eyes and pouty lip he'll eventually waver and give in.

Hes very smooth and straight to the point.

He'll hold you against him with a strong warm embrace while kissing against your neck.

His hot lips pressing against your skin before saying "You wanted this. So don't kick a fuss later."

And with that he'll sink his teeth in. It'll hurt a little but the sting will mix with the sensation of pleasure and just become enjoyable.

He'll suck on the skin somewhat a little roughly and make sure the mark is big and noticeable.

Mostly because he'll get carried away. Having finally been able to dive into his own urges a little there himself.

Faint blushes will ensue the next time you're out and you've chosen to not hide the mark.

People staring and muttering while you're beside him and his hickey on your neck is on full display.

Embarrassment will grip hold of him a lot but eventually he'll begin to feel happy inside.

You were wanting of this and that's all that matters.

He's been able to claim you and your beautiful body to himself- with your entire consent. Nothing could be better.

He'll be too busy to notice it fading however.

So if you want him to do it again you'll have to remind him, which he'll just smile too and beckon you over to do so again.

However on the odd moments where he's speaking with you and does glance to your neck to see the mark is fading he'll not think twice about just suddenly mentioning it to you.

"Y/N. Come here, the mark is fading. I need to do it again. I don't want people to forget who you belong to now."

What happened to that attitude before about not wanting to own someone Diluc? Mhm.

Note to you lot, this post was a draft looooong before we added Kazuha to the list; so I am sorry for anyone who wanted to see Kazuha here but it just wasn't made at that time and this was a small back up post I made months ago. - Mod Diluc

[lotus-flowerz]

hello hello I love your writings so far sobs I couldn't help but do an ask myself aa (it's my first ask ever help hwkajd) could I request perhaps gn reader that flinched away from the boys by reflex? (preferably with Diluc, Kaeya and Kazuha but you can add or remove someone if you want to!) like they were hanging out and reader was lost in thoughts and suddenly when they see in the corner of their eyes how the boys raise their arm for smth reader quickly raises their arms above their own head to protect it- how would they react and how would they comfort the reader? I hope it's not too much or if you're uncomfortable with it you can ignore it if you want to whaaaa

AHHH TY IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE MY WRITING! i actually do this too, some of my old friends would make fun of me for it, so i hope that my writing here is accurate >.<

i also added beidou in here, hope you don't mind, i just had to since she's my favorite character <3

TW!! FLINCHING, ANXIETY, PAST TRAUMA, MENTION OF DEATH AND INJURIES

SLIGHT INAZUMA ARCHON QUEST SPOILERS

KAEYA BACKSTORY SPOILERS

The cherry blossoms fell silently from the trees under which you and Kazuha were sitting. Those had remained unchanged since you and Kazuha were children. The beauty of the pink blossoms falling towards the green earth without a care.

It had remained the same through the vision hunt decree, through the war, through watching Tomo get killed by the shogun, through both of you getting injured during said fight. Kazuha's hand was burnt from Tomo's vision, and your body had a large scar running from your knee to the side of your neck from a stray bolt of lighting from Tomo's divine punishment. If not for Kazuha's determination to not lose another friend and Beidou and her crew caring for you, you would be dead.

These days, although you and Kazuha both carried the same trauma, he seemed to be doing leaps and bounds better than you were. Your eyes flitted to Kazuha, who was writing poetry. The only sound that could be heard was his pen gliding across the paper, filling it with his eloquent words that always seemed to flow so smoothly.

You were deep in thought, when out of the corner of your eye you spotted something coming towards your face. Instinctively, your hands flew out to shield yourself, leaving a very confused Kazuha, who was only scratching his head, looking at you with concern in his eyes.

"Dove.. did you think I was going to hurt you?"

You slowly lowered your arms, guilt washing over you.

"No! It's just- sometimes, when movements are too sudden.. I.. you know, I try to protect myself because uh.."

His eyes drifted to your scar, then looked up at your face, only to find it tilted to the ground. He put a finger under your chin, bringing your eyes up to meet his, then kissing your forehead.

One hand snaked around your waist while the other traced lightly over your scar, sending shivers down your spine. You wrapped your arms around him as well, putting a little of your weight onto him.

He kissed your lips, squeezing you tight against him.

"I'll never let anyone hurt you again. I promise."

"Kazuha, it's not-"

"I know it's not my fault. And I know I couldn't have prevented it. But I promise you, you're safe now."

He brought his hand up to cradle the back of your head as you buried your face in the crook of his neck.

"Thank you." you said, squeezing him a little tighter.

"No need to thank me. I love you, Y/n."

"I love you too, Kazuha."

You had been a part of Beidou's crew for just over a year now, after meeting her in the wharf of Liyue harbor after finally finding the courage to leave your abusive and toxic partner. You didn't have a place to stay and you were clearly distraught, so when she asked if you were okay and you immediately began to cry, she offered you to come on her ship. You trusted her, since she was the well-known captain of the Crux. After you had explained your situation, she offered you to join her crew. You agreed, and began dating her about six months after joining the Crux.

Because you had been aboard the Alcor for a year, you knew the crew was loud and prone to get drunk. You had never liked to drink, preferring to quietly sip a small glass of dandelion wine while sitting next to Beidou while she drank a few beers and talked with her crew.

It was now the one year anniversary of when you had left Liyue Harbor, and conveniently, the Alcor was anchored there for a bit for a supplies run, imports drop off, and exports pickup. While out and about with Beidou, you had seen your ex in the wharf. They were about to come and talk to you, when you had pointed them out to Beidou. Beidou had slipped her arm around your waist, glaring at your ex, who glared back and turned heel to walk away.

Now, you sipped your wine beside Beidou, deep in thought. The loud atmosphere wasn't helping your anxieties, and you couldn't get your ex's glare out of your head. You didn't even realize you were completely zoned out until Beidou raised her arm to sling it around your shoulders, after she noticed you were zoned out.

Your arms flew up to shield yourself, and you spilt wine all over the both of you. The cup clattered to the floor, but luckily no one else noticed what just happened.

Beidou's face dropped and she quickly picked up the cup, setting it back down on the table.

"Men!" she called out. "Y/n and I are turning in early tonight! Make sure you scallywags have this cleaned up by the morning!"

The crew cheered their goodnights, raising their beers to their captain and her first mate. Beidou smiled, slipped an arm around your waist, and led you back to your guys' shared quarters.

"Alright doll, what happened just now?"

She closed the door behind her and sat on the bed next to you, looking at you with a certain softness that made you melt.

"I'm.. I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my ex, and how we saw them earlier, and I couldn't get their glare out of my head.. and I left them exactly a year ago.. I don't know why I flinched away from yo-"

Beidou cut you off by taking both of your hands into hers.

"Y/n, don't say sorry! You know, your ex wouldn't stand a chance against even my weakest crew member. They will never hurt you again."

"I don't doubt that for a second," you said, a small smile growing on your face, "Thank you for taking me in, Beidou."

"No, the pleasure is all mine. I couldn't ask for a better first mate. You're safe now, okay?" she smiled, squeezing your hands.

You looked into her eyes for a moment before throwing your arms around her. She squeezed you back, kissing your head.

"C'mon, let's shower and get this wine off of us." she giggled.

You laughed. "Yeah, let's."

Kaeya had told you his backstory, but you never mentioned yours. You just weren't ready to talk about it. Your parents had never been great, you always walked on eggshells around everyone, and everyone was all too rough with you, emotionally and physically.

You had met Kaeya in the tavern one night, while trying to drink away what you were feeling. Kaeya had noticed how obliterated you were and let Diluc know he was taking you to stay at the Knights Headquarters, and would keep an eye on you. The rest was history, and now you and Kaeya had been dating for a little over a year.

Kaeya had told you his backstory on Monday. That same day later on, you had a run in with your parents at Blanche's, where they had yelled at you for deciding to become a Knight, and proceeded to pick you apart from your very core.

In turn, you had been drinking a little more than usual for the entire week. You seemed more withdrawn and just not fully there. And it all came to a head when you were laying in bed next to Kaeya.

He went to put his arm over you, a loving gesture, but your arms came up on instinct to shield yourself. He sighed loudly.

"You're scared of me."

"Oh Archons- I didn't mean to- no, I swear it isn't-"

"You've been acting all angry and cold ever since I told you about my roots. I thought you would be the one who didn't leave me after I told them."

"No, Kaeya- please, just let me explain!"

"I'm listening."

You began to hesitantly tell him about your parents. His face grew angrier and angrier every time you told him another thing your parents had done to you.

"I'll kill them. I had no idea that that happened though. I'm sorry for assuming."

"It's alright, Kaeya. I didn't even consider that you might think I was acting weird because of where your confession."

"I swear they'll never get near you again, alright? You're safe now. It's alright."

He pulled you into him, wrapping you up in his strong arms and putting his legs over yours, making you feel protected and safe.

"No one will hurt you, not on my watch. I love you, Y/n."

"I love you too, Kaeya. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

"No need for apologies, you were gonna tell me when you were ready. Now let's get some sleep, that dandelion wine I downed earlier is starting to get to me."

You giggled, burying your head further into his chest.

"Alright. Goodnight, Kaeya."

"Night, prince/ess."

You and Diluc had been dating for a few months now, you had met when he had needed to hire a new bartender, and you volunteered your mixing skills to the Angel's Share. You had caught his eye immediately, and he had asked you out on a date soon after you began your work there.

Your ex wasn't a kind person, to say the least, so you had been hesitant to say yes. You assured Diluc that this was just because your ex was unkind to you, but you had never mentioned physical harm. You hadn't wanted to worry him.

You were sitting on the couch with Diluc, his arm slung over your shoulders while you stared into the crackling flames of the fire burning before you. Diluc wasn't paying attention, as he was reading a book in his free hand.

He raised his arm up, attempting to adjust to a more comfortable position, but you misread this. Your arms were shielding your face in an instant, and Diluc was looking at you with a shocked and concerned face that quickly morphed to anger.

"I'm going to kill him." he growled/

You lowered your arms and looked down, avoiding looking him in the eye.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

"Did he hit you??"

"I, um, didn't want to worry you."

"Barbatos.. and this domestic abuser is just, what, roaming around Mondstat? No punishment for the pain he put you through?"

"I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want him to come and hurt me. I also didn't want to cause any trouble."

Diluc rubbed a hand over his face, before wrapping you in a hug.

"You're safe here, alright? I will never lay a hand on you to hurt you. I won't let anyone else hurt you either, okay?"

"Thank you.." your eyes welled up with tears, "I thought you would be upset that I didn't tell you."

"No, never. It's a hard thing to talk about. If you'd like, I have connections. We can have him arrested."

"I don't want to cause trouble.."

"You won't. He won't be able to hurt anyone else this way. But we can discuss this later. Would you care for a cup of tea?"

"That'd be nice. Thanks, Diluc."

"You're welcome, angel. Tell me if anyone hurts you again, alright? I'll protect you."

"Will do. I love you."

"I love you too."

When Someone Flirts with You!

Hello friends! Lil hcs of what the men would do when someone flirts with you and makes you uncomfy!

PART 2 

Includes: Kaeya, Diluc, Venti, Razor, Xiao, Xingqiu, Zhongli, and Childe!

Come one, come all! See what happens when someone flirts with you in front of your men!

Hmm ok. He wants EVERYONE and their grandmother to know that you’re his.

He’ll usually come up to them and pat them on the shoulder. A lot of people know the cavalry captain. But in case they don’t because you’re not in Mondstat…

They usually just ignore him, maybe shrug him off as they continue to hit on you.

Kaeya REALLY doesn’t like that.

It depends on the situation, but usually Kaeya’s grip gets rougher and he’s not afraid to use his cryo to freeze anyone.

They’re either gone or frozen. Either way, they won’t be bothering you now!

“Hehe, come on. I heard there was a tavern nearby.”

He usually doesn’t get super jealous and possessive. In fact, he loves to watch you turn them down. But if you do need help, just look at him.

The first thing he does is come by and wrap his arm around the person bothering you AND JOINS THEM!

Of course the person’s confused and shoves the anemo archon away but he doesn’t let up. “What? You’re flirting with my partner but I can’t?”

It’s all fun and games until the person pushes Venti off and touches you. If you slap their hand off and they keep it up, say goodbye to Venti!! Barbatos has joined the chat (ugh a dead meme I know)

Venti will grab the hand that reaches for you again and in the blink of an eye, they’re blown away. Gone.

Though it’s his favorite method, he can’t go around beating people up because they flirt with you. Unless… unless you want him to.

“Goodbye! Make sure you remember my face and don’t touch my partner ever again!!” That was all said with a bright smile and cheerful tone.

Ok listen-

Diluc knows you’re strong so he’ll let you handle things on your own. All you need to do is call out to him or look at him for him to come help. 

He usually tries to stay passive by standing in between you and the jerk. Unless they’re in Mondstat, no one knows him and usually tries to go around.

Diluc doesn’t play around. He doesn’t like it when people torment others, especially you.

The second choice is to give them a rough shove with a glare. “Leave.”

10/10 they’re leaving. I mean… he’s already pretty intimidating when idle. No one wants to see him actually angry!

“Learn to take a hint. And don’t ever touch them again.”

Oh boy…

Ok. Razor’s protective. He hates seeing you uncomfortable and if someone makes you uncomfortable, he hates them too.

Usually he stays back, but when you need him, he’ll just stand in front of you and growl at the person who’s bugging you.

1/10. Never works. People usually laugh at him and just shove him away, of course that’s not going to work, but hey, they tried.

Razor just needs a reason. One reason to start kicking ass AND HE’S TAKING IT!

It takes all of one second before a large purple wolf is smacking the person down. The second they see the Wolf Within, they’re scrambling up to run away. Whether they escape or not is truly up to you. If they bothered you enough, just let Razor know.

10/10 would recommend. 

“Grr… let me hunt, (f/n).”

Xiao doesn’t really want to show that he gets worried about you, but he gets worried about you. Maybe a little too much sometimes.

Xiao also trusts you and believes you can definitely handle yourself (I mean you managed to turn HIM into your boyfriend-) so he prefers to let you deal with nuisances. But of course, if you need him, just call.

If you do, what he usually prefers to do is just grab your hand and try to walk away, completely ignoring the existence of whoever was flirting with you.

3/10. Sometimes works, but usually, people grab your other hand and pull you back. 

Oh boy. The second he feels you get yanked back, whoever was bothering you, is on the floor with Xiao’s spear pointed at their throat. It takes a second for you to register it, yourself.

69/10 would recommend.

“Do not bother my (f/n) again.”

He’s not aggressive in the least bit. He’s rather polite about everything, considering there was someone flirting with you even though you repeatedly turned them down.

He’ll usually let them know you’re taken and you’re clearly uncomfortable.

Never works. Not one time has that line ever worked.

Well, he won’t let that discourage him. He’s not one who likes to jump into action immediately, but if he has to…

It takes all of two seconds before he has his sword pointed at the person. He’s passive to a certain point, but if someone’s really bothering you, they better start praying to the archons.

10/10, works every single time.

“Since that nuisance has been taken care of, let’s continue, shall we?”

He forgets about Mora all the damn time, but he’s never gonna be like that with you. In fact, he pays a lot of attention to you, so the second you’re uncomfortable, he’ll know.

Usually, he’ll just waltz in and push the person away. They may try to push him out of the way or go around him, but he’ll hold them in place by their arm.

This results in them usually getting angry. It works 50% of the time. I mean who wouldn’t be intimidated? But there are days where people just shove him off before returning to you.

That, he doesn’t like. There’s one thing to shoot your shot with someone who’s taken, but to ignore their discomfort? He won’t stand for that.

His next move is to just slam the person on the ground. There are times where… people just need to be put in their place! And he’s more than happy to oblige!

“Right, let’s go (f/n).”

Oh dear lord.

Childe is playful, he doesn’t become violent and aggressive the second someone bothers you. He’s heard tons about you and you can clearly handle yourself. But in the cases you can’t, he’s there to rescue you!

His method is to usually take the attention off of you. He just swoops in and starts chatting with the other person like nothing was going on, hinting that you’re taken and that they might wanna leave.

Of course, that never works. Ever. People usually ignore him, roll their eyes, or even try to get you to leave with them to go somewhere else.

Well. Do you have news for them. Childe doesn’t take to that very well. You’re attractive and cute and all, but you are his and no one’s gonna disrespect you like that.

It’s really a switch. He’s playful and funny one moment and the next he’s in a serious fight with whoever the hell was bothering you. As mentioned earlier, he’s not quick to fight. In fact, he’d rather not fight nuisances like that, but when someone bothers you, it sets him off. He just really doesn’t fucking like it.

“Hmph. One day… they’ll all know not to touch you.”

[nyxthejinx]

Not gonna lie, i had a thought about the sibling au and it won’t leave my mind. Like imagine for a sec if childe ever met with diluc and kaeya (because the idea of original vs found family makes me feel emotional) like reader either a) runs to childe after the mondstat conflict again emotionally drained or hurt (doesn’t matter in particular) and childe is ready to go to mondstat to raise hell or b) childe and the reader see diluc and kaeya and the reader just clings to childe and calls him their big brother (i just keep imagining childe being smug as hell about it) and watching diluc and kaeya pale as the one of the fatui harbingers took their spot as big brothers and they don’t have a good argument to say how they are better brothers

Childe raising hell for adopted younger sibling is clearly canon. He'd stop at nothing to make them feel better, whether it takes money, comfort food cooked by none other than himself, or some extra violence while they're not looking.

I'm sure he'd take up the role of guardian devil angel as soon as he sees them covered in mud and trembling in Dottore's coat like a lost puppy, but when he finds out about their past? He's not "paying a visit" to Mond only because they begged him to let it be. He's livid, whoever treats their loved ones like this is not family.

So, instead of doing his own justice, Childe focuses on giving reader everything they had lost. Asks for their custody (would fistfight a horde of Dottore clones if needed), helps them become stronger and confident, but most importantly tries to keep them as far as possible from Mondstadt until they're ready to go back.

If they end up there because of a mission he can't change, he'll be both anxious cause duh, they're not completely ready on a psychological level, but also kind of thrilled to see if they'll make use of his teachings and yeah, take some good revenge.

And if he's assigned to that mission as well? F for Diluc and Kaeya cause he's about to destroy them with a mere easygoing smile and some passive aggressive words. "Oh, so you're y/n's old brothers? I've heard a lot about you two. Whether it was good or bad things is up to your conscience imagination ahah."

He'll keep a protective arm around your shoulders, tightening the grip as he notices Diluc borderline having and aneurysm, and go on nonchalantly "Well, we'll go now, promised my little sibling here a good meal after this long journey."

And that's it, enjoy your permanence in the city of Freedom where you've never felt more free than now, with this absolute menace by your side.

[vibingindark]

Well shit...part 2?

AN: So heyyyyyyy, it's me again. You guys like this work well enough which in return gave me that fuzzy nice feeling, so I will try to continue this work for now. As always this was inspired by all the amazing authors who write for this au. I am once again sleep-deprived and cranky, so no, I did not check grammar.

Another note just to be sure, this chapter not only has swearing involved, there is mention of blood, injuries and panic attack happening to 'Creator'. I am not sure if it's that severe, but read at your own discretion! I might add more warnings later. Stay safe!

Kaeya Alberich would like to think of himself as a calm and reasonable man. Not only for cryo vision on his waist but because he could keep a cool facade while he was in fact not calm and collected at all. Like right now, carrying a limp body of Creator - he wasn't ready to unpack that can of beans while his God was unconscious - half running/half stumbling towards Albedo's camp, while only lightly cursing when he happened to trip on fresh snow.

But inside? Oh boy, fear and panic that one-time Diluc tried to kill him (the serious attempt, all others were Diluc's love language, he just knows it) seemed like childish squabble compared to this. No no, now he was pretty sure he went through all stages of grief twice in the span of thirty seconds while he proceeded just who he hit with the blunt end of his sword; and then he would probably go through it a third time if he didn't get hit by the realization that while Creator was in Teyvat, their body seemed fragile enough and now they were laying on cold snow... unconscious….. and without a coat.

So now he was running, through the Dragonspine weather of all things, while his fluffy cape was draped over Creator (that sight alone made him feel quite a few things on its own, but again, not time for that) hoping that Albedo, the actual genius wouldn't suffer the same dumbassery the rest of the order clearly did. To call them impostor, curse them and hunt them like wild animal….he knew Ordo Favonius wasn't as clean as they made themselves to be, but this? Even if Creator forgave them, he would obligate them like fucking filth-

„Kaeya? What are you-“

„Ah, the man of the hour! Won't you help me, dearie? My hands are kinda full and they need help, now!“ He was sure that the alchemist heard how hysterical his voice was......maybe his cool facade wasn't as good as it used to be afterall...

„Kaeya, calm down I need to....no....nonono! Kaeya bring them inside!“ Normally he would take any opportunity to see the ever composed Albedo lose his cool, but just a brief glance at you, at the only god he ever worshipped, has him rushing after the shorter boy. What once was the white fur of his coat, now was stained with liquid gold.

-------

Dead bodies. Dead bodies of children and elderly littering streets. Hollow eyes, bloody clothes. Some fought, you can see injuries that indicate they defended themselves against an overwhelming force. An older sister, protecting her little brother. Admirable bravery on her part, or maybe just desperation. Desperation to save something more valuable than her life in her eyes. Both dead, too much blood for it to be a clean kill.

Some tried to run. You see a young couple, holding hands even in death's embrace, lovers until the bitter end. The arrows pierced their skulls from behind, a coward's shot.

Some tried to beg for mercy. You see an elderly man, protectively holding what looks to be a teenager behind him, shielding him from harm. His pleas were unheard, the pool of blood under his knees unmoving just as he and his grandchild were.

This wasn't a battle, honourable one or not. Battle would indicate a faint chance at winning at least. No, this was a slaughter.

-------

You wake up to the sound of a snowstorm and howling wind. It's harsh noise, almost overbearing, but it is noise. It isn't the complete and unmoving silence of destruction.

-you aren't there, you aren't there-

You can hear your own ragged breaths and smell a faint scent of cecilias in the air.

-you are safe, you are far away-

There is a dull ache in your head and cold metal under your fingers.

-it was a dream, you aren't in Khaenri'ah anymore-

You are in a workshop of some kind, there are full shelves, overflowing with books lining the walls.

-it was just a product of imagination, you are okay-

You were laying on some sort of table, you can see a smaller one near you; there are bandages, a broken flask and....knife?

One nightmare recedes, just for another one to take place. There is a snowstorm outside, you are in the workshop which smells like cecilias, laying on an operating table with scalpel nearby, ready to use.

Shit

You are practically leaping off the table, your head aching again and you are stumbling a bit before you hear the sound of broken glass on your left. There are broken test tubes on the ground, mixing together already, but all you can see is red.

...red like a pool of blood under knees, red like wounds on young lovers wounds, red like spilt guts on the ground belonging to a little girl...

You can't breathe, you are standing around shards of glass, your socks are starting to get wet, there are voices behind you but you can't breathe. You are standing in the ruins of Khaenri'ah again.

„Your grace! You need to calm down befo-“ there is a hand on your shoulder, a presence behind you.

You don't think, simply sidestepping on left - just out of reach, before you are moving again, throwing a punch at his face. It's a sloppy one, but it gets the job done. There is a distance between you and the chief alchemist. Glass crunches under your foot as you take another step back, finally seeing the world before you. Your mind is clear for the first time since you woke up.

„I will drag you down with me Kreideprinz if I have to. I won't be some lab rat you can use, you little shit!“

Welcome to Hazel’s Character Guide! 

Thanks for taking a walk through my character guides - these guides are focused on assisting authors in enhancing their writing for each character.

Below, you’ll find universal tips on how to write for any character and individualized character references! 

*authors note - I am by no means ‘certified’ - all tips are my recommendations and stem from the knowledge I’ve gathered from academia and practice*

Background & Research

Wiki pages - about the character, setting, city, etc.

Story chapters - watch them and take notes (See behavior & dialogue)

*Official releases of information - ex. Birthday Letters, promotions, etc.

----

Writing an already developed character! The big three:

Values

we are all driven to act and respond to things based on our values - 

What does each character value or hold In high regard - 

A person with or without purpose will be motivated by different things - it’s important to know what they value so you know what actions they will take when faced with a decision 

Example: Diluc values trust = do things himself, closed off, uneasy around new settings or people (heightened awareness / observant), stands in the back of the group to keep an eye on things 

Example: Childe is Ambitious = make decisions to get what he wants and may not think about them fully, will go and go until he achieves something, try new things often

PRACTICE: Identify a value (empathy, respect, inclusion) that you have and write how you’d respond in a positive setting and a difficult setting - see how your actions change and you’ll see how your value drove your responses

----

Behavior 

Behavior tells us so much more than we think - 93% of all communication is body language, you want people to know it's the right character without hearing or seeing their voice? - pepper in body language

Behavior is anything we do and is driven by a need in some way - need to control, survive, protect, satiate, get or remove - behaviors tell us more than what a person says, and often, behaviors do not lie 

PRACTICE: get out a pencil and paper and watch them during cut scenes / idle animations: write down what they do, how they move, gestures, expressions 

Introversion vs Extroversion -> Introversion: think inwardly, are more observant, dialogue in the head, more reserved and withholding || Extroversion: outgoing, talkative and enjoy chatting with others, will try new things more often, charismatic, forthcoming 

Thinkers vs Feelers -> Thinkers: like to plan, things are clearly defined, use objective information ( facts & logic ) to solve their problems, hyper analyze || Feelers: use and rely on emotions to assist them, follow their hearts and are often quiet protective of those they love, want all sides of the story, empathetic

-----

Dialogue 

The way we speak is the tone to our individuality, our word choice, sentence structure, and pitch all give insight into our personalities 

How does the character change their inflection as they speak (do they go up, or down in tone / volume)

What words are they choosing, formal, informal, nicknames and other repetitive phrases ( ‘My, My’ - Kaeya / ‘Yoohoo!’ - Venti / ‘Cutie’ - Lisa ) 

PRACTICE: Write a short story with only character Dialogue and see if you can easily pick out who is saying what without names or behaviors ;)

with a younger sister (hcs)

ft. diluc & kaeya requested by anon

i envy everyone who has an older sibling 

diluc ragnvindr.

diluc is the ideal older sibling anyone would wish for. he’s intelligent, humble, wealthy, and a responsible young man, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. being his sibling, you’re well-aware of the fact that the death of your father and the betrayal from the knights have taken quite a toll on his mental health. he tries to stay optimistic for your sake, but how can he bring himself to move on after what has happened? 

despite known for being a closed-off individual, diluc has no problems expressing his feelings clearly with you since you’ve been with him for most of his life. almost everyone can tell he’s slightly more comfortable in your presence than an average person. your relationship is built up on trust and friendship - there’s no secrets between the two of you. well, even if diluc did want to lie, you would know right away just by looking at his face or hearing his tone. he swears, he thinks you know him better than he does himself at times. 

if any harm were to befall on you, he’d see it fit to punish whoever has the audacity to even lay a finger on you. did the harbingers attack you? he’s already getting his claymore to attack them back. did the slimes push you while you were heading to the winery? he’d be happy to shove them off a cliff. did you accidentally trip over your own feet? he’s going to have to murder someone’s shoes tonight. just kidding, ehe~! 

diluc is protective, but only to a certain degree. he’s well-aware that you can handle yourself fine. he’s seen to it that you’re given proper combat training in case he’s unable to defend you. he wants you to be safe, he wants you to live your life to the fullest, but most importantly, diluc wants you to be happy. 

“[name], what are you doing here?” diluc asks in a curious voice, surprised by your sudden intrusion in his tavern. you briskly place a container filled with cream puffs on the counter and grin.

“i thought you might want to try some desserts since i assume you ate dinner already, so why not take a little break while i’m around?” the redhead frowns, contemplating his decisions, but he agrees reluctantly.

“alright, but just for a little while.” he gestures for you to feed him one of the cream puffs’ since his hands are slightly dirty. 

you roll your eyes jokingly, and yet you offer him the treat with a sprightful grin adorning your features.

“what am i, your mother?” a tense silence follows after the word ‘mother’ rolls off your tongue. you grimace and chew on your lower lip. before you can apologize, diluc smiles, a mild yet genuine smile.

“no,” he begins, taking a bite of another pastry you offer, slowly to savor in the sweet taste, and swallowing, “you’re my precious younger sister. sometimes you may act irritating, but i’d rather be related to you more than anyone else.” rip kaeya 

he lightly flicks your forehead intentionally so as not to injure you in the process and chides, “so don’t you dare do anything that will place you in perilous situations.” 

kaeya alberich. 

it’s easy to forget that kaeya is your older brother because of the immaturity he continuously displays, sometimes. even diluc seems to think so, muttering under his breath how kaeya should turn to you as an example. when he first introduced you to his fellow knights, jean was a bit startled by your polite behavior, a sharp contrast to his mischievous and flamboyant attitude. you had to explicitly tell her that the two of you are related to clear her doubt. 

he’s extremely teasing with you, just a touch below bullying, but don’t get him wrong. he adores you, his precious sibling, with his entire heart. behind the constant smiles and uplifting laughter, the thought that you may leave him, like everyone else he cherishes has, terrifies him. you’re the only person who’s still by his side, the only person he can go to and actually feel like he belongs. he doesn’t want to lose anymore than he has gained. 

sometimes, when he’s having a bad day and ends up drinking more than he’s able to hold, you’re there to carry him back home, his arm clumsily slung over your shoulder. while he deals with a mild headache the next morning, you’re in the background scolding him to not drink so much wine. out of sympathy, you softly exclaim to him that he’s free to rant to you whatever problem he may be dealing with. you’re family, are you not? just like everything he’s doing to ensure your safety, you also want to act as a stable figure in his world too. 

he may be flirtatious, but he would be surprisingly picky on whoever manages to steal your heart. the last thing he needs is for you to come crawling to him in a mess of pitiful tears. you deserve to have a partner that will give you everlasting joy. at the end of the day, kaeya wants you to be happy. 

“how is my younger sister doing?” kaeya chirps with a cheerful lilt to his smooth voice, returning back to his household after completing his tedious tasks in the knights’ headquarters. 

your face is illuminated in a jovial light as you perk your eyes up from the crisp pages of the book you were skimming through and tackles him in an affectionate and welcoming embrace. 

“you’re back,” your soft murmur almost goes unheard in his ears, but being the perceptive individual that he is, kaeya manages to tune in the concealed relief laced in your tone. 

he brings a hand down to your head and gives it a few solid pats, ruffling your hair slightly. “of course i’m back. what kind of a sibling would i be if i decided to abandon you? a cruel one,” he winks, sticking his tongue out impishly, “that’s for sure.”
