Summary
(NOTE: this happens before Crepus’s death.)
In the Ordo, everyone answers to Varka; except for one man, who always seems to slip right out of any punishment for his questionable ways. That man is the Favonius’ Investigator, Eroch.
Unfortunately for Kaeya, Eroch is not a good man; especially to those who look like foreigners.
(Basically Kaeya being discriminated against by racism! Things become hard when Eroch constantly embarrasses him and makes harsh comments on the job. Luckily he has a good family who will legit kill anyone who hurts them. Happy people of color month, guys!)

Not even the gods can stop him from saving his family.
They can try. But Kaeya was the last Hope of Khaenriah.
And there was a reason why he was.

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.

Day 3 — "I warned you."---
Diluc always opposed Eroch no matter what.Whether in meetings or interviews for job positions, he always disagreed with what the Inspector had to say and was always right. It made Eroch furious that a 16-year-old was blatantly disrespecting and humiliating him. Then, the teen started getting into his affairs. He warned him to stay out of his business, but Diluc didn't listen and went further, threatening to tell Varka.
Instead of making up a reason to fire him, he tried to get rid of him entirely by sending him on a dangerous mission, hoping he wouldn't return.

Summary
Whumptober 2023 - Day 10 (Late)
Prompt chosen: Aftermath of Failure-
Nothing felt real.Father was dead. Diluc stabbed him in the chest as he pleaded with his son to end his suffering. He told his Father everything would be okay, that he would get him to the Cathedral. But that was just a comforting lie. Diluc was injured with a deep gash across his abdomen, so there was no possible way he would get to the Cathedral without both of them dying in the process. Crepus was bleeding out, missing an arm, and had internal bleeding. He weakly gave his son a long pocket knife, begging him to kill him.
Diluc felt numb.
Kaeya couldn't tell him his secret now. He would wait until he had time to grieve properly. Then he could tell him.
-
In an alternative universe where Kaeya waits to tell Diluc his secret the night Crepus died. Diluc chooses to stay in Mondstat rather than run away, giving him the chance to try and grieve properly, as well as allowing him to work through all of his trauma and issues, but it is harder than he realizesSeries

Summary
Diluc's 18th birthday had gone wrong in every. Single. Way. Their carriage had been attacked and his father had almost died, had it not been for the patrol of knights that had been near them simply by chance. Then the knights went and betrayed his trust and loyalty, choosing to sweep his father's efforts in driving of Ursa under the rug to save face.
Now, worst of all, Diluc hadn't seen Kaeya in almost a week and he could tell something was up. The only question was what?
Basically, an AU where Crepus survives the attack and they talk about certain aspects of Kaeya's past like the civilised and loving family they are.

Summary
Kaeya and Diluc are shot back to the past and naturally are idiots, make Crepus suspicious, bicker about their problems but never actually do anything to solve them because that's just how they roll, also any relationships are platonic. There will be tooth rotting fluff, I'm not sorry.

Summary
" “What did he do?” Kaeya grits out, trying to sound more relaxed than he feels.
“Nothing like what you’re thinking, Kae, he just -” Diluc’s hand comes up to cover his mouth, “- kissed me.”
Oh, Kaeya is going to strangle that man. He’s been having enough trouble intercepting marriage requests intended for his fourteen year old brother, but at least most of those were trying to marry off their similarly underage children (is that even a bright side?). "
Or:
After Inspector Eroch kisses Diluc at a party, Kaeya will do anything to make sure it can't happen again.
