i could SWEAR i posted part of this but i can't find it nor can i remember which part it WAS but it doesn't matter it all got added to

anyway

diluc making kaeya a sword that's it that's the post

[vi-19-dam]

Finally did Diluc.

His armor is a bit wonky but it’ll clean up sooner or later in the process.

I also have it so that after Dainsleif finds him a basically have it that him and Halfdan adopt him and shenaniganery ensues.

Dainsleif is like Kaeya’s tutor and sees how lonely he as the only kid his age in basically the entire castle, and so when they finally get all the paper work and stuff sorted he takes Diluc to one of their lessons and has them get to know each other and they hit it off.

So trouble making lonely kid Kaeya takes his new friend to go do some prank on a noble man or something and then the plot happens which i am currently figuring out but hopefully I‘ll make this into a full comic if I find the time, there’s a lot more I want to add and different characters I wanna swap around so this will decently become some sort of running thing here so stay tuned.

[axuanmii]

admit you ship incest dude. the cn/jp shippers say its incest. pick up a book and translate it, it says kaeya is adopted. .. and heres a long paragraph about how incest is only between biological families and more disrespect to people who are adopted...

no idea why my inbox didn't give me this notif until now, but now's a better time than any to talk more about this.

i'm chinese. i speak fluent mandarin chinese. i've consulted other native chinese speakers about this, both genshin players and unrelated. i play genshin with chinese audio and english subs specifically to catch and complain about inaccuracies. i'd reveal more information but then i think it'd be trivially easy to doxx me if one knew what they were looking for.

fundamentally, the issue of incest lies in physical reproduction, yet i find adoptive incestuous relationships discomforting all the same. it's why i didn't like or finish go ahead (以家人之名) because i felt that it laid too much into the siblings aspect for romantic relationships to be feasible, and it was super contradictory from the initial general message of the first bittersweet yet wholesome episode.

however, personally, i just don't think kaeya felt like a part of the family until crepus's death and he really reflected on crepus's actions towards him (hangout). and even after beginning to view crepus as a father figure, he wouldn't have so shallowly made the transition for diluc to be his brother by adoption and consequently changed his entire mind about the guy (which you can see with the way he chooses to refer to both men with different terms, one adoptive and familial, one very clearly 'sworn', very consistently throughout the whole game. if that ever changes in chinese, well, at least you can know that i'll make a post about it if i still care about genshin by then.)

the localization team does make plenty of serious mistakes, and it's of my opinion that as a result, it has very clearly skewed character relationships with those mistakes, (cynari and collei, eulamber, some npcs in liyue, sumeru) some from cultural differences, some just from lazy translation overall. there's layers of complexity in how chinese utilizes honorifics and affectionate terms, as well as contextual consideration between fiction and reality, and sometimes i feel like the english localization team just threw it all into google translate and called it a day.

i don't even ship kaeluc that much. i like to call it the secret third thing where they can't get off their asses to talk about anything ever so they exist in an undefined space and to have them return to any semblance of a healthy relationship, platonic, familial, or romantic, would require a novel's length worth of development that hoyoverse will probably never write, and so my brain has made up novels of all three kinds and more.

however, i also don't care about people who do ship kaeluc or treat any other fictional media in an incestuous or otherwise problematic manner, regardless of language or culture. this is because i operate on a "don't like, don't read, don't interact" mindset. it makes being in fandom more fun; you should try it.

my disappointment wasn't aimed at the fact that i think too little people ship kaeluc. it just sucks to see people claim that that's what's wrong with the fandom and spin this evil gross imagery around the ship over a misunderstanding, especially when that's not how i view it. it's also the only thing vehemently regularly repeated ('klcers dni') when there's so many other issues with the game and the fandom.

(off topic but what's the worst thing that'll happen if a kaeluc shipper likes your fan stuff. it's not like they come into your tumblr asks to bother you with an "oh btw you're wrong about how you enjoy this media and this is what's right"-- oh wait that's what's going on here right)

including the fact that people like you purposefully go around searching in the kaeluc tag (which you probably did, because nobody is scrolling that far back in my blog to find this one specific post to complain about) to police and pick fights with people over a stupid issue from 2020/2021. i guess tumblr isn't a safe place to talk about kaeluc either lmao.

and to think i left anon asks on in the hopes that it could be an inbox for anyone who wanted to ask me art questions or just leave something positive and not feel too awkward (where do i get the confidence in thinking anyone would ask my incompetent brain for help lol).

to be fair, it's going to be my fault for continuing to draw attention to this by responding to such an ask instead of just deleting it and moving on but fuck it we ball.

this ended up pretty long but i feel like it would've been too rude to just say "会说中文的干嘛要翻书 :P". probably would've been funnier though and saved me a lot of time. kudos to you if you actually read this and read through everything.

final note:

[villain-byteniwoha]

ships i like and why i ship them: a small, affectionate rant before bed

zhongchi: probably the first ship i ever interacted with. i may have started playing genshin for them. I specifically remember reading modern, non canon au fics on ao3 when i was still low AR and did not have liyue unlocked yet just to enjoy content of them without spoiling the story too much. those were good times

love the betrayal, the reciprocated manipulations, their individual bloody pasts and their juxtaposing love for humanity/family. the marriage chopsticks. god, the amount of threads I've read explaining those... and ofc you can't forget the official art with them by the harbor with the gingko leaves falling cinematically. i think that's the art that drew me to them lol

there's also something so deliciously tragic about a near-immortal being who's fated to succumb to erosion in due time, falling in love with a mortal man who's always within death's cold embrace. not to mention the subtext of their themes and principles. geo and hydro, stability and turbulence, land and sea, they crystallize when they meet in the middle, etc etc

kaeluc: another pairing I enjoyed the absolute shit out of, way back when I wasn't even playing the game yet. I remember learning about them while I was deep in my mxtx phase, specifically tgcf, and I'm pretty sure I dipped my toes in after I learned that they used to be sworn brothers. keywords here being used to. hook, line, and sinker. before I knew it, I was also reading fanfics about them, but only modern, non canon au ones because genshin terms made no sense to me and i didn't want spoilers. then I played the game. and then—we get Kaeya for free. I mained the shit out of that man for months.

and then. I fully entered the fandom, only to be immediately slapped in the face with the mistranslation issue.

and I get it, honestly, if you like ragbros good for you, I'm happy for you, but me personally, I will scorn hyv until the day I fucking die because had they not messed this up? kaeluc would've have been so powerful. KAELUC WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUCKING POWERFUL

how could they not be? they're childhood friends but they're also forbidden romance coded, and rivals/enemies coded, but they're also soulmates. they don't just know each other, they're two halves of a whole, they know each other.

and the themes, don't even get me started on their themes. fire and ice, red and blue... paimon's line about them being similar (i.e. kaeya's a shady mf who fights in the day/diluc's a bright fire in the night) is one of the most romantic lines ever. they're sun and moon but only because they complete each other. also, lamp grass and calla lily? that's them as flowers, but they're the other person's ascension material like hello???????? fucking wild.

and ofc this kaeluc section can't end without me mentioning arundolyn and rostam. for those who don't know or have read/heard of those names but never really dug deep into it, arundolyn and rostam were knights of favonius around the same time as the cataclysm, and you can read about them in artifact sets such as brave heart, defender's will; and partially from the elegy bow

the reason they're here is because there are too many damn parallels between them and kaeluc to just be a coincidence.

arundolyn was a claymore user (see: ferrous shadow), he was the "lion of light,"; he was naturally gifted in strength but still trained hard and would later become the grand master of the knights; he'd push rostam to drink wine and tell him to have a little fun; he gives up his title and weapon after rostam dies

on the flip side, rostam was the swordsman who created the art of favonius bladework (see: favonius sword), his title was, "wolf pup,"; when he and arundolyn played as children, he was the stand-in for the champion knight of aristocracy; he "ruled the shadows," by protecting mond with ways the knights did not approve; rostam dies in an expedition to expunge the evils poured forth from the cataclysm...

I'll let you connect the dots there. I just also wanna point out, as a final note, that in the favonius sword's description, it says, "the childhood friend and spiritual counterpart of Arundolyn, the Lion of Light, whose name was Rostam, the Wolf Pup." ok. yeah. moving on

xiaoven: i very quickly realized after reading the genshin webtoon that venti was gonna be one of, if not my most favorite character. and i was curious as to who the people wanted to pair him with. keep in mind, this was around 2.0~2.2 I believe, so when I searched them up, the only canon backing I could find was the music scene

and boy, was that scene enough because holy shit, the brain rot these two gave me??? of a god who embodies freedom, and the last remaining yaksha chained to his duty????? they were so thematically opposed and beautiful, it wasn't hard to fall in love with them

by the time 3.0 came rolling in, I've already stopped playing, but that didn't mean i wasn't aware of how we were well fed by canon. from the trailer to venti full on attending the lantern rite and sitting down with the liyue gang; it was one of those interactions that transcended everything

and of course, OF COURSE, they also canonically addressed the fact that venti's music soothes xiao's soul. that's intimate. that's deep. that's so fucking romantic and nice and beautiful in the most tragic way...

also, we can't forget the depictions of god and servant here. the holy themes, the worship. the promise of immortality and foreverness, but also the threat of it. i just think xiao doomed with karmic debt and venti vowed to divine erosion is such a soulmate connection, and I'm also delusional

that's all for now but there's so much more...

[nonbinarylocalcryptid]

Fanfics I need to read so bad that I'm probably gonna write them myself Thanos style:

-Alhaitham damsel in distress/BAMF Kaveh (come on, let's have something different, stir the pot a little)

-Alhaitham/Kaveh The Mummy Au (do you see my vision???)

-Diluc travelling the world visionless during those funny years after his 18th birthday feat. pen pal!Kaeya (not kaeluc) (I'm a sucker for their brotherly reconciliation)

-Young Justice season 5 with the usual timeskip, Jason's story, Wally comes back and Damian enters the scene

-A character study of Jason Todd feat. a telepathic oc who doesn't like Batman but gets adopted anyway because why not (and it would be funny as hell)

-A TMA fanfic with a time travelling oc who resets the timeline until he gets everyone a Happy Ending™

-Epic The Musical/The Odyssey but Odysseus keeps the baby because bless this mess

A Stormy Day At The Winery

Note: This is not a ship ( Kaeluc shippers DNI )

Angst/Comfort

Tw: Mention of death and there are some cheer up tickles in this.

So if you don’t like either don’t read

Hope you enjoy!

It was a stormy day in Mondstadt, and much to the brothers' dismay, they were stuck inside with one another at the Dawn Winery. What was supposedly Kaeya’s short visit to ask Diluc about the recent appearances of the “Dark-night Hero” seen back in town turned into something more. Kaeya wanted to know everything about why his brother was doing it again. After all, it had been a while without any attacks on the town from the Abyss Mages and Hilichurls for it to reoccur once again. Kaeya wanted to team up with Diluc and get to the bottom of the issue like last time. However, Diluc didn’t seem keen on the idea of using his younger brother’s aid for something he could easily deal with on his own.

What they hoped would be a short discussion turned into multiple hours before dealing with Kaeya, which extended into the next day. The thunder was the only sound between the two brothers as they sat near the fireplace until Kaeya finally spoke up.

“Why do you believe you’re the only one who lost someone the day Father died?”

Diluc looked irritated but stayed quiet, not wanting to engage in a conversation that would lead to a pointless argument. But Kaeya continued to speak.

“I had lost Father, but I also lost someone else—my older brother. I want him back!”

Kaeya got up, walked over to Diluc, and grabbed him by the collar flaps of his coat as tears welled in his eyes. “So please…bring my older brother back.”

Diluc stood there, the irritation on his face transforming into guilt and sadness as Kaeya clung to him in tears. It was dead quiet, aside from Kaeya’s sniffles, until Diluc finally spoke up, his hand hesitantly resting on Kaeya’s back, his mind racing to consider what to do. Out of every possibility that could have happened tonight, this was one he hadn’t even thought about.

“I’m sorry.”

Diluc started to rub Kaeya’s back in an attempt to comfort him, but when his fingers barely touched where Kaeya’s ribs were, he felt his younger brother jolt and pull away with a yip, making Diluc worry if he had hurt him.

“Are you okay? Did I touch an injury?”

Kaeya shook his head no, wiping his tears away, his cheeks painted pink with embarrassment. He needed to find an excuse for his reaction without making Diluc worry further.

“No, you didn’t. I just…didn’t expect it.”

Diluc raised a brow in curiosity, easily catching Kaeya’s lie as he put two and two together.

“Really, are you sure? Maybe I should check. You know, injuries can get bad if they aren't acknowledged.”

Kaeya started to step back, his face completely flushed with embarrassment. His mind raced to figure out a way out of the situation. Much to his dismay, Diluc stepped closer to Kaeya, resting his hand on his shoulder, a mischievous expression plastered on his face.

“Diluc, I swear I’m fi-hihine! It was- nohohoho!”

Kaeya practically screeched with laughter as Diluc’s fingers quickly started to spider and skitter on his ribs, making Kaeya wriggle and squirm in a half-hearted attempt to escape.

“You’re still very ticklish, Kaeya! How have you not grown out of such a childish thing?”

Diluc teased as his fingers climbed to Kaeya’s armpits, making him squeal and snort. “Br-brohohohther! Stohohohop ihihit! Ahahaha!”

Kaeya had tears of laughter down his cheeks as he shoved his way out of Diluc’s hold, causing him to hit the floor.

“Oww-heheh! That was uncalled for. Diluc, I should get you back for that!”

Diluc huffed a half chuckle and rolled his eyes as he helped Kaeya off the floor and onto the couch.

“Can’t have the Cavalry Captain crying on me now, can I?”

Kaeya chuckled before hugging Diluc. “Thanks, I needed that.”

[finisnihil]

Hey guys can somebody like help me figure something out

So i've seen people ship Gallagher and Sunday which is weird to me because during the quest Gallagher calls him "my brother" like "brother" is even bolded

And we know Sunday and Robin are adopted so I was like well shit he could be his sibling but then Sunday says this:

Which implies Gallagher is an imposter right and maybe not actually his brother? Gallagher follows this revelation up by saying he underestimated Sunday.

Gallagher's voicelines don't help at all either

They're very clinical and distant.

I just wanna know like are they siblings or is Gallagher lying? I'm really confused and just wanna know so I know how to interact with the shipping content and avoid another Ragbros situation (who I don't ship, Kaeluc shippers begone you are not welcome) because that's a headache already.

Also please be civil thanks

YOU COWARDSSSS

YOU FOOOLSSSSSS

Inazuma Archon quest thought to give us Vision angst where you become a completely different person once you're apart from it for too long...

AND NONE OF YOU KAELUC/LUCKAE/WHATEVER MFS(/AFF) HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THAT??? Once again, notice the /aff tag, i am one of the aforementioned kaeluc/whatever mfs

THE INAZUMANS IN THE QUEST SEEMED TO ONLY BE APART FROM IT AFTER A FEW DAYS, MAYBE MONTHS AT MOST. DILUC WAS WITHOUT A VISION FOR 3 YEARSSSSS. 3 YEARSSSSSSSSS. NOT ONLY THAT, HE WAS USING A DELUSION FOR THOSE 3 YEARS WHICH FURTHER MESSES UP HIS CRUMBLING MENTAL STATE/EXISTENCE/ETC

I want an au where Diluc doesn't take back his vision after he comes back, whether out of a still lingering grudge and stubborness or- in the opposite direction- he feels guilty, like he doesn't deserve his Vision, especially since it didn't allow him to save his father and was used to hurt the only person he has left.

And he starts changing. Kaeya at first thinks Diluc genuinely hates him bc he's still acting cold and it goes on for awhile. Then, Kaeya realizes he's just like that now... with everyone. His usual at least semi-courteous tone he used to use with patrons and business partners is now flat. He ran into (followed) Diluc and Jean and noticed the former was distant, if not borderline callous to his once childhood friend.

Kaeya makes another observation when the traveller finally comes around. Diluc is weirdly self-destructive in a way he wasn't before. Where he used to be cool and mindful of the battlefield, he throws himself into the fray with reckless abandon. His flames which used to be so controlled, run along the edges of his clothes, uncaring for the damage they may cause. And of course, there's the vigilantism that he doesn't want to address with a 10 ft pole (unless it's to tease Diluc about the name).

It all comes to a head when- for one reason or another- Kaeya has to come to the Winery and... he's at a loss for words. Diluc isn't unkind to Adelinde but- if Kaeya hadn't known any better, hadn't also been raised by her- he would thought the two were any other pair of master and servant. At the resigned look from the closest thing he had to a mother, he decides enough is enough.

He rushes Diluc to his office and confronts him straight up. Diluc denies it all, that he has no place to comment on his behaviour anymore. Then, Kaeya pulls out the pyro Vision that he's taken to carrying with him just in case. And Diluc *flinches*.

Speedrun the ending: after a very painful conversation that probably involves a lot of yelling, threats, and at least one elemental reaction, the two can come to an understanding. And after a series of timeskips (and reconciliation talks), Kaeya helps Diluc get over his sudden incompatibility with his vision and the associated guilt.

Then they kith<3

[the-bloody-sadist]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "the bloody sadist"?

YOU FUCKING BET!!!! I love having the opportunity to list my favorites for anything, though I'm also incredibly picky about fanfics, so I don't actually know (until I start scrolling my bookmarks and listing them) if I'll reach a whole 10 favorites!! But I might! (Note: these are in no particular order)

What I Want From You is Sweet by VampireFaun (Heaven Official's Blessing) [And basically every other work that she's written! But some of my other top favorites of hers are The Thing That Was Not His Highness and Beast With Two Backs]: When I can't get a fanfic out of my head, I usually end up drawing an illustration based on it, if I'm bold enough to risk depicting an author's precious words (rare). This is my MOST re-read fic and I won't ever stop. It doesn't help that VampireFaun/Deer is a WONDERFUL PERSON and I love her personality so much. She's an incredible writer!

Tenfold by dgalerab (Bungou Stray Dogs) : Baby's first fic! This was one of the writings that immediately roped me into the fanfic world. When I first was into it, I was under the impression that everyone just went there to write half-assed explorations of sex between characters, and that wasn't so appealing to me. When I discovered that some people can write entire 25-chapter PLOTS with the level of literacy that matches what I hoped to read??? I was hooked. Obviously you can see in this list that I have strong devotion to a handful of fic writers and my favorites are just the top best fics that I return to of their writing. If I find a great writer, I subscribe to them and go on a rampage of consumption through their list of fics, my fandom or not! Please consider doing the same for those authors that I mention like that!! You'll find so much gold. Everything by dgalerab is good in some way, I have almost all of their fics bookmarked. :') My only complaint about this particular story was that HOLY FUCK THE AUTHOR CUT SO MANY SCENES WAY TOO SHORT LMAO. Please let me have a full comfort scene for more than two paragraphs T_T I worked so hard for it. I cried so much. ANYWAY, STILL A HUGE INSPIRATION FOR WHAT I WENT ON TO WRITE!

What You Have Tamed by Parsnipit (Heaven Official's Blessing)

Love is Hard, Life Sucks by gev_ao3 (Bungou Stray Dogs) : A painful inspection of the nuances of domestic abuse. This one rang true to reality so much that I don't think I can re-read it without having a depressive episode. It's not finished, but it's Fyozai, and you know how I feel about that. Also side-plot SKK! I usually can't stand AUs, but this one fits the situations very well. It's the type of fic that only someone who knows a little too much about how abuse works on a victim can write.

Careful Fear and Dead Devotion by intimatopia (Trigun Stampede) : Yet another fic that I couldn't help but draw for! And intimatopia was kind enough to link it in his fic summary T_T - A super angsty sadomasochistic fic about Vash needing pain and Wolfwood needing to give it. If I don't list any other fics by him on here, it's because I'm such a huge enjoyer of his writing (one of my favorite fic authors), so nearly all of them that don't hit on personal triggers are in my favorites category. He's a master at pinning down the PERFECT depictions of characters that make them feel as canon as possible while also becoming more tangible and real. The ZhongXiao, AyaThoma and Kaeluc fics are incredible. Read them all! However, I will mention that one of his fics that first stuck with me was his Kaeluc AU Northbound & Reaching ! Carys has done a lot of BSD fics too, of which a few stick out to me like They Say You Gotta Fake It and that one Soul Eater AU he did where Dazai was a knife in Chuuya's drawer who gained a body. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT WENT CUZ I CAN'T FIND IT TO LINK YOU BUT GO LOOK THROUGH ALL HIS FICS FOR IT. IT'S REALLY UNIQUE.

Top 5 works, I guess?? As I mentioned several times while gushing, three of these account for entire lists of the author's works that you should enjoy if we share the same taste! VampireFaun, dgalerab, and intimatopia are my top fic authors, and I've read everything they've posted as long as it didn't contain anything personally triggering - and have learned about new fandoms even! Also, Alaruya didn't make it on this list, but they have a Fyozai fic that really inspired me with its imagery and language. I link it in my Sinner fanfic if you're interested!

I have quite a few other random fics I enjoy, but most were from a Heaven Official's Blessing craze recently and then BSD works that inspired me in some way, but they're not very unique or long, so I felt like this was the best collection to list. Most any fic that explores Dazai struggling with self-harm or neediness or asexuality has my attention. It just has to be written well!

AS FAR AS MY NAME - YOU'RE THE FIRST TO ASK THAT QUESTION! I'm a big fan of...how to explain...slightly dehumanizing titles?? Something that isn't really a name, but a description of me in some way. Something that makes me feel mysterious and yet also gives everyone who reads it an idea of the type of works I'm creating. Of course, my main personality trait is being sadistic, and I love the word sadist, and I love putting THE in front of literally any title because I DON'T KNOW LMAO...I'm THE ONE. That kinda thing. I'M THE GUY!! YEAH I'M THE BLOODY SADIST GUY! THAT ONE! I also love smashing words together, so I was like, I can't just be THE sadist....what else do I like....and that's about it. If I name myself I tend to have trouble ever using anything else in reference to me, so Sadist has stuck from the very beginning. It's going to be very hard to part with that name once I publish a novel and have to use a first and last name...

THANKS FOR THE ASK!! I HOPE YOU ENOY THOSE RECS.

[crowdemoninkinkyboots]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "crowdemoninkinkyboots "?

before i give my fav fics, my username is in reference to sebastian because he’s a crow demon with kinky boots uvu

okay these are in no particular order but here’s my top 10 fics:

Shapeshifter by Honeythief

black butler, sebaciel

y’all this fic broke me. whoever suggested it owes me emotional compensation. but it also hurt so good. it’s in first person which may turn off some people but i promise it’s worth the read

Sanglier by vanroku

twisted wonderland, rookpel with a hint of jackpel

it’s painfully hard finding dead dove/whump content with my fav pomefiore boys, but this is absolutely perfect

Timeless Eternity by GammaRays

demon slayer, kibutan

y’all this fic is dark. but it’s so good. it kinda sparked my thing for captor/captive tropes, and tbh it’s probably my fav kny fic

actually i lied the next two are fics i commissioned i still absolutely adore (they’re also omegaverse lmao)

Knock Knock Little Bunny by mattysones

demon slayer, kibutan

i was so excited for this fic and it was worth the wait. omegaverse + whump is such a tasty combination for me and matty wrote it perfectly. best money i’ve spent.

Torridity by mcpoggy

demon slayer, kanaoi

mcpoggy is usually a giyutan writer and i’m probably going to add one of her other fics here but i absolutely adored how this fic came out. it’s so vanilla compared to the other fics listed but i love it. i need more omegaverse yuri in my life

When I Kissed The Teacher by mcpoggy

demon slayer, giyutan

this is like THE giyutan fic, and also my first bookmark on ao3. it’s also vanilla compared to most other fics on this list but giyutan does have an age gap. it’s super long but i’d alway recommend mcpoggy’s giyutan fics uvu

heads rolling for the one i adore by nyabatos

genshin impact, zhongven

ok i’m INCREDIBLY biased because the author is my best friend but she’s such an incredible writer. it’s also such an interesting au where venti sacrifices his freedom to zhongli to save mondstadt and the aftermath of that deal

The Fall of Mondstadt series by Probabri

genshin impact, kaeluc

whoops my bias is showing again bc i’m also friends with the author but this story awakened kinks in me i didn’t know i had oops

Spear Fishing by reallybadcontent

genshin impact, beidou/fem!reader

ahem. so. i’m not typically into reader pov fics but beidou is. beidou. and i’m a weak lesbian. and ngl i also imagined my oc instead. so. next fic

Dream A Little Dream of Me by BadBadz

black butler, sebaciel

ok i’m being biased again, since this was based off of a tumblr post i made, but i was so happy it inspired someone and it turned out great. of course my fav sebaciel fics have angst in them…it’s like i like hurting myself…

pls lmk if y’all have ever read any of these fics/ur thoughts! i’m sure u all noticed a trend lol

[minkeigo]

up to the challenge - a kaeluc fanfic

"'Dream on.'

'Oh. I had many dreams about this, actually.'"

Kaeya and Diluc have an endurance competition... and neither of them is going to give up easily.

Rating: explicit

CW: dry humping, kaelucs in love, sex toys, semi-public sex

A piece for KaeLucKae Gotcha event ✨

Diluc is aware this is not really fair. He wouldn’t, of course, say it out loud. He’s way too proud to complain, and besides, winning despite having it more difficult would be so much more satisfying. Oh how good it would – will – feel, to see this stupid smirk on Kaeya’s face finally vanish. Especially since it is harder for Diluc to bear with the current situation, as he is the one working the bar tonight.

“Master Diluc, is everything alright? You seem tense. And red. Are you hot?”

Diluc wipes a couple pearls of sweat off his forehead and straightens his back to shoot his sworn brother a disapproving look.

“It is particularly hot today, isn’t it?” he responds matter-of-factly. His lips feel dry and rough, and he cannot help but lick them again. The way Kaeya’s gaze follows the movement of his tongue doesn’t go unnoticed; Diluc purposefully bites his bottom lip, slowly, his eyes set on the Cavalry Captain as another wave of pleasure makes him shiver. The smug smile Kaeya has been wearing for most of the evening disappears from his face.

“You are going to pay for teasing me like this, Firefly,” his tone is rather cheerful, as though what has just left his lips was a lighthearted compliment, not a threat.

“Don’t make promises you won’t be able to keep,” suggests Diluc with feigned calmness, casually dabbing his forehead with a handkerchief.

“Do you really think I won’t be able to make you beg?” Kaeya leans in, now almost lying on the counter. “That I won’t pound into you until you think you can’t take it anymore– Just so I can prove you wrong in the end?”

“Ha–“ Diluc is not really proud of how these words affect him.

“Come on. I know you want to give up.”

“Dream on.”

“Oh. I had many dreams about this, actually.”

Diluc takes a deep breath, pretending not to see the satisfied expression on the other’s face.

“I have to take out the trash,” he mumbles, pushing himself away from the counter. He shivers slightly as the vibrator inside him moves a little. “Do not follow me.”

He says the last part so Kaeya doesn’t take this as an invitation, but the truth is he would love to be somewhere alone with him right now, to be touched and worshipped; for their bodies to be as close as possible and for their voices to intertwine as they whisper praises into each other’s… Fuck.

“I said, do not follow me.”

Kaeya is not even trying to be stealthy; without ceremony, he pins his lover to the wall, his knee between Diluc’s legs. Somewhere in the tavern there is a burst of loud laughter that startles them both, but they know they’re safe here. It’s dark, quiet. Promising.

“That wouldn’t be fair, Master Ragnvindr. How can I be sure you aren’t cheating?”

“How would I even cheat?” Diluc makes a weak attempt to free himself, only to make Kaeya curse under his breath as the ring on his cock responds to the proximity and starts pulsating. The device inside Diluc follows suit just a mere few seconds later, causing him to gasp and clench his fingers on the fabric of Kaeya’s jacket.

“Fuck, my Firefly,” Kaeya’s voice is shaking at this point, his usual playful tone becoming more and more difficult to maintain. “I want you so much.”

“Of course you do. Do you… Uh. Do you really expect me to just let you win?”

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” purrs Kaeya before rolling his hips towards Diluc. Neither of them manages to hold back their moans as both devices start to vibrate harder.

Diluc relaxes a little, leaning back against the wall, his eyes closed and lips slightly parted.

“Just like that, baby.” Kaeya grabs a handful of red locks to pull on them gently, exposing more of his lover’s delicate neck. “Surrender is not a bad option… It could even be sweet.”

“You surrender, then,” suggests Diluc, still eagerly welcoming Kaeya’s soft wet kisses on his neck. The other just laughs: a low, throaty sound that makes his lover weak in his knees.

That doesn’t go unnoticed.

“Ah, what are you…!” Diluc tightens his legs around Kaeya’s waist, almost losing his balance as he’s being lifted off the ground.

“What good partners do. Isn’t this… better?”

The vibrations of both devices intensify again as Kaeya and Diluc end up pressed tightly against one another. For a short moment, they take time to just look and take in each other’s faces, feel the sweetness and warmth of their shared breaths. Slowly, Diluc raises his hand and runs his fingers along Kaeya’s cheek, stopping only at the edge of his eyepatch. He wants to remove it so much, but decides against it; this kind of intimacy belongs in their bedroom only, where none other than Diluc himself can see his beloved like this.

Kaeya’s tender kiss surprises him; he leans in to return it, for a second completely forgetting about their bet. Just for a second.

“Fuck,” Kaeya growls as Diluc starts rolling his hips against him, hard and slow, making it almost painful. “Are you… Uhm, fuck. Let’s go upstairs, love.”

“Sure, Kaeya. You sore loser.”

The response is enough; the next second Diluc finds himself out of breath, his body pressed even harder against the wall and his lover kissing him roughly, mercilessly, fucking him through their clothes. Diluc is not one to just give in, though; he makes sure to respond to each movement of Kaeya’s tongue, each thrust of his hips, and soon neither of them is able to utter a comprehensive word anymore. The strong vibrations deep inside Diluc already make him shiver uncontrollably, but now that Kaeya is so close, he can feel the ring on his cock too, making it almost unbearable. Suddenly, winning or losing is not relevant anymore. Right now, he can only think about Kaeya being so close, Kaeya devouring him, Kaeya humping into him and panting against his lips. Diluc reaches behind him and fumbles a little with the strap holding his long ponytail together. The strap falls onto the ground and navy blue hair spills on Kaeya’s arms, ready for Diluc to grab and caress and pull at.

Some silhouette appears in the distance, then another: seems like two people head in their direction and Diluc turns his head a little to utter a warning, only for his lips to be chased and closed with another kiss. And then the silhouettes vanish, or maybe Diluc’s vision is too blurry to see them, it doesn’t matter anymore.

“Kaeya…”

“Yes, baby, I know,” whispers Kaeya under his breath, like he’s about to fall apart. And this makes Diluc lose it.

Both devices start to slow down as two lovers hold each other tightly, their breaths shallow and heartbeats too loud.

“Seems like you won, Firefly,” mutters Kaeya, placing sweet kisses along Diluc’s jaw.

Diluc lowers his feet onto the ground, still holding tightly onto his lover. A solid minute passes before he can mutter a response. “I did not.”

In his post-orgasmic bliss, Kaeya doesn’t realize what that means right away. Then, he only laughs in the exact way Diluc pretends to dislike.

“I guess we have to schedule a rematch, then.”

“Anytime.” Diluc reluctantly lets go and for the last time runs his fingers through his lover’s hair.

“I don’t have anything to tie it with now,” Kaeya’s whisper is soft, tender; there is no reproach in it at all.

“That will teach you to carry spare straps.”

“Oh? You’re right. Can imagine a few fun ways of using them, too.”

“Tsk.” Diluc averts his gaze, nervously smoothing his hair and clothes. “I have to go back now.”

“You’re not going back.” Kaeya ruffles his lover’s hair again. “I told Charles you went home. He understands, you looked so sick after all.”

Despite his best efforts, Diluc fails to conceal his relief.

“You could’ve been more discreet. They might start talking,” he scoffs nevertheless.

Kaeya chooses not to respond to that. It’s not really the right time to explain that everyone in Mondstadt already knows they’re together.

Instead, he just presses a kiss to the top of Diluc’s head. “So, Firefly? Rematch at my place?”

Diluc gives out a disbelieving gasp. “What, now?”

Kaeya raises his eyebrow. “You said anytime.”

Diluc’s expression changes and Kaeya immediately knows there’s no need for persuasion.
