    Summary

    “Diluc Ragnvindr,” she said. “I… regret to inform you… Cavalry Captain Kaeya Alberich has been killed in the line of duty.”

    The words didn’t land right at first.

    They drifted through the room like ash. Too soft. Too slow. Unreal.

    ———

    When a mission investigating an Abyssal anomaly in Wolvendom goes horribly wrong, Kaeya vanishes—presumed dead after a brutal encounter with a mysterious creature. A funeral is held. Mondstadt mourns. Diluc grieves in silence, haunted by guilt and words left unsaid.

    Summary

    Dante doesn't know what possesses him to revisit Agnus's lab after the fall of the Savior, but he finds himself in the sprawling underground base without much trouble. His newly acquired nephew follows. In finding the remains of a familiar blue coat among the chaos, Dante soon wishes he'd kept his damn mouth shut. That's not even mentioning the guest appearance from a naked guy.

    Summary

    "You know, working with the knights would give you the backup you so desperately need in these kinds of situations."

    A cool blast of ice flew over his shoulder, immobilizing the pyrochurl that Diluc had been dutifully chucking water balloons at. The tactical advantage of elemental reactions should never be overlooked in battle, especially when one's giant flaming claymore has little effect if the opponent enjoys being on fire. Unfortunately, he'd now traded one tedious nuisance for a one that was much more volatile.

    Kaeya pesters Diluc to come forward as the Darknight Hero, all while refusing to tell him why. Unsurprisingly, this backfires on him and Diluc takes great satisfaction in re-learning how to be a big brother.

    While refusing to process that he still sees Kaeya as a brother.

    All of this with a surprisingly polite Abyss Herald, excessive compliments and many water balloons.

    Alternative title: Bullying Kaeya with Compliments ft. Diluc

    (Spoilers for Kaeya and Diluc's stories as well as revelations made in the We Will Be Reunited quest.)

    Summary

    “Huh… what an odd pair.

    A Khaenri’ahn and an Archon. Of course, they don’t know that, but Diluc does.”

    Diluc dreads the day Kaeya and Venti learn of each other’s identities, so when Venti comes for a drink without his usual party, Diluc panics. Fearing for his brother’s safety, he begs his archon to not lay a hand on Kaeya, putting Venti in an awkward position.

    Summary

    “Monster!”

    “Liar!”

    “Khaenri’ahn scum!”

    Voices Kaeya recognized. Familiar barmaids. Friendly blacksmiths. Children he’d tossed candy to on sunny days. They were all here. They were all screaming.

    The world tilted slightly as a dizzy wave overtook him. He staggered.

    ———

    Or, When Kaeya’s darkest secret is exposed, he’s branded a traitor and left for dead by the very city he swore to protect.
