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

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

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

Summary
Kaeya kept himself behind a carefully constructed wall so that no one would ever become too close to him and get burned like Diluc did ever again. Seemingly transparent, yet unreachable in reality. When he's ambushed out in the wild and finds the breath fading from his lungs, he thinks that it's almost not too bad. As long as Mondstadt is safe and Diluc is happy...what's the problem?
And then he wakes up. Younger than he should be, different, and everyone who sees him looks like they've seen a ghost because Kaeya of House Ragnvindr died fending off the drake that should have killed Crepus. Diluc and Crepus refuse to let go of him now that he's appeared to rise from the dead. Kaeya is different from what they remember - he pushes people away, or tries to - but neither his sanity nor his resolve can keep up his guard around his own family.
What's going on? Why is everything different? Why has his life completely changed?
Maybe none of it matters. Maybe the only thing that matters is the fact he can start over and fall blindly back into the warmth and care he thought was gone forever. His father, and Diluc...who feels more deeply for him than he ever would have thought.

Kaeya knows his bone set fear like he knows the grass is green. He waits for the second shoe to drop.It does.
It's not paranoia, when it's not irrational.

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

Summary
“...when was the last time you saw father?”
“This morning. We all had breakfast together.”
“Uh-huh…and what’s the date?”
“March 1st, 1063,” Diluc answered without missing a beat. Kaeya’s arms dropped to his side, and his skin grew increasingly pale.
“That’s—that’s not possible.”
“Why?” Kaeya remained silent. Diluc took a shaky step forward. “Why, Kaeya?” The look in that crystalline eye almost scared Diluc. He’s not sure why, but something told him he really didn’t want to know the answer to that question.
“Because father died on April 30th, 1058. He’s been dead for almost five years.”
*****Two versions of Diluc end up in each others' worlds. One where Crepus never died, and one that we know all too well.
The harsh reality of what could have been may be too much for them to handle. -

Summary
Morax received a letter from Barbatos, telling him not to come to Mondstadt, to stay away from his new Khaenriahn and he swore he'd have listened if not contracted to go already.
He doesn't expect a little boy, smiling up at him as though he'd never done wrong, dragging him back into a relationship he'd thought long eroded
~~~~~~~~~“Thank you sir.” The boy said seriously. It was almost amusing to see such an expression on his face. His eye was round, and his small face carried baby fat. The little frown he pulled did not look too serious at all, more like a pout.
Well, he was certainly like Venti in that respect. The Anemo Archon hardly ever came across as anything less than friendly, even when wielding his weapon.
~~~~~
or: venti adopts a child, one he found lost and afraid in the woods. zhongli gets involved. it's a bit of a messSeries
