mending bridges, mending fences

by chidorinnn

“Skate with me.”

Adam says it bluntly, so matter-of-factly, that it stops Kojiro abruptly where he is. Kojiro laughs, wonders if he should perhaps be concerned that laughter comes to him so easily in such situations, and continues to wipe down the glass in his hand as if Adam had done nothing more than remark on the weather. “What, did Langa put you up to this?”

“Maybe so,” he retorts, blandly. “It seemed like a sound idea, at any rate. Tadashi seems to be enjoying it.”

It’s the stuff of stories, what Langa had no doubt proposed: a shared love for a shared hobby rekindled, no words necessary when the wheels and adrenaline will do all the talking for them. It’s what no doubt brought Langa and Reki back together, so seamlessly that it was as if nothing had gone wrong in the first place — and yet:

“We’re not seventeen, though,” says Kojiro, perhaps a bit too bluntly.

*appears as if summoned* did someone say fic recs?

first off, op: really really great points on diluc and the diluc&kaeya relationship. i'll do some rambling about diluc characterization in the tags but for now, here are four fics i think might fit what you're looking for!

this work, from @chidorinnnnn, is THE diluc&kaeya fic in my mind. like, no fic has ever topped this one as a study of their dynamic (and probably no fic ever will). the strange muted understanding. carefully finding your footing. the way things could have been and maybe should have been but aren't, and maybe that's okay too. bonus points for the parallel between their fathers, which you mentioned too

moving on to a more diluc-centric piece, from @dandelion-wings. it is so so hard to find good diluc fic because he is such a strange and contradictory character, but this diluc makes the most sense in my head. featuring genuinely gut-wrenching interactions between the boys (one line in particular tears me up every time) and a build-up to tragedy that rivals macbeth

bit of a different piece here: a modern au in which diluc and kaeya reconcile at the end of the world (tw major character death). i cry every time i read this one. their dynamic in this fic is similar to the first one but more messy - you know, finding your footing with the person who used to be your everything now that you are different people than you used to be, and also the world is ending

i read this more than a year ago and have not stopped thinking about it since. it's a longer read but so worth it. the worldbuilding is so intricate and every character and relationship in here is so beautifully fleshed out - not just diluc and kaeya but also the people of mondstadt and how they relate to one another. this author also has an amazing (and shorter) crepus&kaeya fic that i think you might enjoy

anyway! hope that was helpful. these are my four favourite diluc&kaeya fics ever so i hope you enjoy them! thank you for sharing your thoughts with us as well!

The Genshin Impact fandom is fascinating to me when it comes to fanfics, because I feel like I struggle to find any fics that really *get* the characterization of certain characters and I'm loathed to write my own because dammit I just want to read the specific itch I crave without resorting to creating it. Give me three more months and I'll cave in.

For example, Diluc is one of my favorites and I find his backstory fascinating in terms of his father Crepus possibly being more morally ambiguous than most fans are willing to admit and how little we know of Diluc's murder spree in Snezhnaya.

For example which Harbinger(s) did he have a run-in with? Will we find out more about the secret intelligence network that took him in, that he apparently had a high position in? Did he ever find the answers he was searching for? The list goes on.

It's hard for me to find the specific characterization of him I crave for in fics because I think his platonic relationship with Kaeya is incredibly nuanced and complex but I feel like his character often gets assassinated for Kaeya angst but like, the man had the worst birthday ever?

Imagine being Diluc, living through a literal worst nightmare. Your dad is dead after you failed to protect him yourself. Not only is your dad dead but he died after wielding a delusion--you dont even know what a delusion is but its clearly bad news. Why the fuck did your father have it and how?

On top of this, the Favonius Knights--the organization you proudly served and the very organization that your father heavily encouraged you to serve--insists on covering up the truth because it makes them look bad. The Favonius Knights, who are supposed to be honorable and uphold integrity, are anything but that.

Then your adoptive brother, who you've known for years and trust with your life, shows up and tells you he's been spying for a foreign nation since you were kids with the intent of harming Mondstadt and everything about your relationship is possibly all one big lie and well--how do you not snap??

Now, I'm also incredibly fond of Kaeya and he was just as traumatized by Crepus's death. He was wracked with guilt for *feeling* relieved that he didn't have to worry about betraying his birth father for his adoptive father since Crepus was dead. He anticipated Diluc's anger and felt like their duel was a punishment for his lies.

To me, it hints that Kaeya probably didn't reveal the truth expecting Diluc's understanding, but rather he knew how he would react and perhaps he wanted Diluc to strike him down in that duel. Or at the very least, he wanted to distance himself from Diluc and cut off ties in order to avoid emotional attachment stopping him from his mission.

I personally head-canon that Diluc withdrew upon seeing Kaeya's vision because well--why would the gods bless Kaeya with a vision if he truly had the intent to harm Mondstadt? So in spite of what Kaeya revealed, he isn't a threat. But there's still a lot of hurt there to navigate through.

I think it's fascinating seeing where they stand in present game because Kaeya obviously has the ideology of working the system from within. He stayed in the knights (even taking over his brother's position) and with Jean rooted out the Inspector and his cronies.

Meanwhile Diluc just isn't that type of person. He doesn't settle, he refuses to work in a system he views corrupt, he rather accomplish what he can outside of it. Curiously, he doesn't challenge the status quo beyond being vocal of his distaste of the Knights.

This is head-canon fantasyland, but I like to envision Kaeya and Diluc do use a lot of the same informants and collaborate on intel relating to the safety of Mondstadt (especially since Diluc can move in ways against the Fatui that the Knights can't due to political reasons) but they struggle to have the same connection as before.

For example, Diluc's story quest--Kaeya was essentially giving Diluc an alibi with the Knights. Even if Jean damn well knows who it is, they still have to have official documentation stating otherwise.

Kaeya is good at reading people, he has to be given how he was raised to be a child spy. But I like to think he struggles to read Diluc like before. Diluc is much more jaded, pessimistic, quieter than before. He prefers to work on his own as much as possible. From Kaeya's pov, the only person he's seen Diluc willing to fully trust enough to work alongside with is the Traveler, and he states as much.

The opposite is true of Diluc. Kaeya was his shadow, a quiet but inquisitive, witty observer. Cavalry Captain Kaeya is much more outgoing and friendly, his charm on full display. Did he ever really truly know Kaeya or did he only show Diluc what he wanted him to see? Is Kaeya happier this way?

Fanon often depicts Kaeya as essentially being barred from the dawn winery from the duel by Diluc himself, but I don't think that's quite the case. Much rather, given the reason he told Diluc that night, I think he views himself as undeserving due to unresolved guilt.

Canon seems to hint at all of this through his hangout and Hidden Strife, the latter of which is unfortunately a time-limited event that occurred before I even played (hoyo please stop having heavy lore drops occur in time limited events).

I think the two want to trust each other again, but both are afraid of destroying the tentative truce they have so they leave all of it unaddressed. Kaeya refuses to be completely truthful ever again and Diluc acknowledges the past but refuses to discuss it. The tragedy in their relationship that neither is at fault for what happened--it's a twisted emotional mess of grief and heartbreak.

The last point I'd like to touch on is the parallels between Kaeya and Diluc both being essentially child soldiers for their fathers' causes.

For Kaeya, being abandoned in Mondstadt to be a child spy is the most overt. For Diluc? Despite Crepus's strong ambition to be a Favonius Knight and to have a vision--neither happened for him. In Diluc's vision story, it states that he views his vision being a result of their "shared" ambition, hinting that his vision was granted after Diluc's strong resolve to achieve his father's dreams for him.

We know Crepus heavily encouraged Diluc down this path at very young age, given Diluc received his vision at age 10 and became the youngest Captain at age 14. In some ways, I'm sure Kaeya was a bit jealous of Diluc for having a loving father present in his life that was overtly proud of him.

I am not saying Crepus wasn't a good father, I think he cared immensely for Kaeya and Diluc both, but I do think he did some morally grey shit.

Diluc abandoning his vision is fascinating and it's almost never explored in fics. He is the only vision holder we know of (aside from the Inazumauns whose visions were taken by force) that had their ambition for their vision shaken in such a way that they voluntarily discarded their vision for a time and only took it back after reigniting a new ambition to have it (and as far we know the only allogene that faced no negative setbacks from using a delusion long-term without their vision present).

I don't know where to end all of this, except if you have ragbros fic recommendations that you believe cover it in a more nuanced way, let me know!

🔥 female protagonists in video games with self-insert protagonists (or lack thereof)

Like I know especially in fandom there is a culture of treating the Protag as their own character and not as a self-insert which is cool, I guess and people love to say “well changing their gender makes them a completely different person!” And I understand that in p5 especially it changes the power dynamics of at least the Kamoshida Arc if not more and stuff but like DAMN do Persona games especially still really think your self-insert is a teenage boy who like thinks about teenage boy things. I remember playing p5 for the first time and just not getting the maid thing? Or the Operation Babe Hunt stuff. And I am into girls! It shouldn’t feel that dissonant but it does for reasons I can’t really explain

Like if they’re their own character that’s one thing but if it’s a self insert character whom I am naming and getting to use I’d literally much prefer the character be written as gender less than having them be a teenage boy you know?

Side note: I know things like Fire Emblem Fates and Splatoon will use the female protagonist forMarketing purposes and whatnot but has a game ever given the player a silent female Protag self-insert and not given the option for a male Protag?

SasuSaku Canon Divergence Fanfics (Genin era)

I have made a list of some of my favourite SS fanfics that deviate significantly from canon during the genin era. 

** **

Stay by @southsidestory (Complete, M)

Sakura begs him not to go, so Sasuke stays. And year by year he falls a little more in love with the girl he couldn’t leave behind. (AU in which Sasuke never abandons Konoha.)

Five Petals by PrecariousSauce (Complete, T)

Several things happen all at once in less than a minute’s time. Sakura’s elbow slams into Sasuke’s side from an angle he doesn’t anticipate, sending him tumbling end over end off the branch. Sasuke rights himself just a second too late and without checking where he’s going to land– When he does his knee twists, he feels a lightning bolt of pain shoot from his sole to his head, his leg gives out. And Orochimaru’s teeth sink down to the gum in Sakura’s shoulder.

There are two sequels to this work: Intermission and Yamazakura

Intermission (Complete, T)

Nobody can put their life on hold for two years, not even for Naruto. Time skips like a stone over water, making contact every so often and getting a glimpse at what's below the lake before flying further. Sakura conspires deep below the earth and Sasuke lives one day at a time.

Yamazakura (In-progress, T)

Everything Sakura’s been working toward, all her efforts over these two years in the dark will finally bear fruit. She can feel her headband sitting heavy in her weapons’ pouch. She resists it’s call. She can only wear it again when her mission ends, however it ends. Sakura takes a deep breath and opens the door. Time to shed her skin.

if you can't hold on, hold on by Fiercest / @fiercyy (In-progress, T)

Sakura always wished she could relate to her teammates better. She wishes she could take it back. In which Sasuke acquires some unwanted roommates and a team becomes a family.

Crepuscule by chidorinnn (Complete, Gen)

Sasuke accidentally hits Sakura with his Chidori while fighting Naruto on the hospital rooftop and awakens his Mangekyou Sharingan three years too early. Then it all goes downhill from there.

** **

I have excluded time travel fanfics from this list, since I have already made a separate list for them here. I might make another list for my favourite Shippuden-era canon divergence fanfics 😊

Tagged by @ chidorinnn! Thank you for tagging me

Name: lizard

Fandoms: Everything and anything. Lots of cartoons, few videogames. Some at the moment are; Fire Emblem, SMT, Legion of Super Heroes (kinda?), Fate Grand Order, Owl House

Most Popular Oneshot: Going by kudoses, Ghosts We Keep Within. It’s old and has formatting and grammar errors, also it’s silly, but I’m glad people enjoyed it.

Most Popular Multichapter: That one Neo Yokio gift fic I made ages ago, I did not see that coming. Huh. (its got so many grammar problems but I don’t care I still think the title is funny)

Fics Nervous To Post: Literally everything

Coming Soon: I’m not sure? I want to make fic again, I’ve got a long list of things I want to make, but I always backtrack because of reasons. Never sure if it’s bad or not

Favorite Things to Write: OCs, oneshots that bring up strange questions or AUs, OCs, fluff, OCs, did I metion OCs

Actual worst part of writing: everything finishing a fic, editing it, liking it ok, posting it and then seeing the many many many mistakes still in it

How you choose your titles: III do not think far enough ahead so I finish the fic, look for a one word descriptor then just slap it on there like a cheap sticker before I throw it on AO3

Do you outline: Yeah. Though I mostly do one shots that don’t go anywhere so I don’t have to outline much

Ideas I probably won’t get around to but wouldn’t it be nice?

I’ve got so many 3 Houses AU ideas, which is weird considering I don’t even like the game that much

Gundam/Digimon crossover

P5 Oneshot OC focused AU about the months Akira spent in Juvie in the timeskip (I think he went there? I gotta double check)

Callouts @ me: You can’t get better at writing unless you keep practicing

Spicy Tangential Opinion: I hate hate hate fics that are tagged with everything under the sun so it takes 30 seconds to scroll past them.

Tagging: anyone who feels like answering some fic questions, just make sure to tag me when you do

It doesn’t hit until after they take back the castle from Sendak, but Pidge could swear that she saw Keith at the Kerberos launch.

–he was in that dilapidated old shack in the middle of nowhere, all by himself – waiting for something he couldn’t put into words until the day Shiro fell out of the sky. She was in the Garrison, surrounded by people, and yet paradoxically more alone than she had ever been in her life – also waiting for something she couldn’t put into words until the day Shiro fell out of the sky.

How could she not notice? Why did she never think to look?

i am yelling (happily! respectfully!) at the sothis AU because making her the player character could have been such a haunting take on player avatars in general! just this pervasive feeling that you are not in control, that you were NEVER in control because sothis being here at all, in this particular form, was something that was meticulously planned and prepared for. literally anything you do, barring joining up with edelgard, results in a success for rhea.

it's the logical extreme of robin's entire existence as grima's vessel! except sothis is present in a way that grima was not, and there is no chrom or shepherds to just give you a sense of control over your present and your future. does byleth actually exist when it's sothis controlling everything? how much agency does sothis have, when her present circumstances are dictated by forces beyond her control? byleth was somebody to at least one person (jeralt), but does that mean anything at all when everyone either a) desperately wants sothis to return, or b) wants to change a fundamental aspect of who byleth is, personally?

Yeah! Yeah! It’s a question of whose in control and takes the ongoing game writing issue of player agency vs character agency (ie the idea that you want characters to have agency in the plot and make their own choices but you also want the player to have agency in the plot and you have a problem if one overrides the other) and just brings it into the plot and it’s so interesting

Side note: No I have not played Deltarune yet. Yes I should do that
