https://archiveofourown.org/works/63928357
Currently, im working on a Zhongven Fic thats fully planned out, and the first chapter is about halfway done. ill hopefully remember to update this blog when i post it lol.
btw, if any other genshin fanfic writers wanna chat, id be happy to!
tldr: Kaeya is khaenri’ahn royalty, the youngest of 5. He loses the memory of his family during the cataclysm. When information regarding khaenri’ahs last royal family arises and Kaeya’s name is included, he and Diluc must figure out what exactly happened?
-Kaeya is the youngest of 5 siblings, the final royal family before celestia’s attack
-Kaeya has 4 other siblings, 3 older sisters and one older brother. The oldest is a sister being trained for the throne.
-kaeya's only brother and the second oldest sibling is gifted in alchemy, and is being trained by gold to become the next head alchemist.
-kaeya's two older twin sisters are party animals in a way, always excited for the next ball and to look their best. Outside of their love for parties, they're seen as the people's princesses, as they're more attentive to khanria'nhs civilians wants and needs.
-Kaeya’s very young when the attack began, being only around 3-4. His siblings range from 8-19
-when the attack happens, Kaeya is scooped into the arms of his oldest sister as they flee the crumbling castle.
-they make it as far as they can, Kaeya’s sister clutching him close to her chest so he doesn’t see the crushed bodies of those working inside the castle, alongside his crushed siblings. Kaeya still manages to catch a glimpse
-sadly, they don’t make it, a piece of the wall falling directly on top of Kaeya’s sister head. She manages to throw Kaeya out of the way before it crushed her, but Kaeya hit his head on the way down, passing out. Before losing consciousness, he sees his sisters body besides him.
-Kaeya wakes again, being saved by his father, the only other surviving member of the family. Kaeya doesn’t remember anything when he wakes, the fall causing amnesia.
-Kaeya’s father fills Kaeya in on the basics, his age and his name, avoiding telling Kaeya about the rest of the family and his royal status.
-canon goes on as usual at this point. Kaeya gets left behind as a spy plot, gets adopted by the Ragvinders, Crepus dies, ect ect
-throughout his whole life, Kaeya has no idea who he was before the cataclysm. Only remembering khaenria’h after its fall. He assumes it’s due to it being such a traumatic event and doesn’t attempt to peruse it.
-everything goes as normal, until ancient books are discovered in a dungeon depicting khaenri’hn in sumeru.
-this is a massive discovery, as everything concerning khaenria’h was considered lost after its fall, as all books from Teyvat depicting the nation were very surface level, and any books that went more in-depth were lost to time either by mistake or deliberate measures.
-inside one of the books depicts the final royal family in a painting, a year before khaenria’h’s fall.
-Kaeya hears of the book’s discovery, and due to his curiosity on what his home nation was like before its fall, asks Lisa to order some copies of these books in.
-he trusts that nobody would suspect him of ordering these books, as since the discovery, khaenria’h has become a very popular topic among all the nations.
-When Kaeya sees the photo, he is hit with a strong sense of Deja vu. He recognises almost everyone in this picture, but doesn’t know who they are besides his father.
-connecting the dots, Kaeya realises he was khaenria’hns last prince, that his memories of his supposed siblings and mother were completely missing, and his father never told Kaeya throughout the 2-3 years living in the abyss.
-no matter how hard Kaeya tries, he just cannot remember anything about his family besides the photo he saw of them, only knows what the public knows.
-it infuriates Kaeya, not knowing these people, who he feels love for deep inside his heart. He knows he used to care deeply for these people, but he can’t for the life of him remember why.
-he thinks to himself, that he’s lost two families, it’s a bitter remark.
-Diluc notices Kaeya ordering in the books from his spy network, remarking how Kaeya specifically paid to ship them into the nation, to get them there as fast as possible.
-when Diluc confronts Kaeya about this privately, it takes a bit of pushing before Kaeya cracks, admitting and sharing his forgotten past with Diluc.
-Diluc is a little in shock about this news, after all, for the longest time he’d been Kaeya’s only sibling, or so he thought, but how can he get mad if Kaeya himself had no idea!
-the thought of forgetting his own family, no matter how broken his and Kaeya’s brotherhood was now, terrified him.
-Diluc decides to help Kaeya remember, despite their broken relationship
-together, they search for clues and ways for Kaeya to get his memory back, to remember what was of his first family.
Ragbros centric since i havent posted one about them in awhile, inspired by Sparks by Coldplay, it made me cry and write this
tldr: Kaeya never receives a vision and dies during the confrontation. during his time in Snezhnaya, Diluc discovers a series of animals with a star mark on their foreheads sacrificing their lives to protect him, is it truly a coincidence?
TW: Animal death (mentioned in passing, little to no detail)
-Kaeya dies in the fight between him and Diluc.
-Diluc doesn't realise he's dead and runs away to Snezhnaya
-Kaeya's body is discovered and buried alongside Crepus, using the Ragnvindr name since nobody knows Diluc disowned him.
-except, Kaeya doesn't stay dead
-Kaeya reincarnates into various animals, with the purpose of protecting Diluc, even if it costs him his life.
-each animal form has a Khaenri'ah star in its forehead
-one such form was a baby deer, barely a week old, stumbling across a dying Diluc. Kaeya sacrifices his life, staying with Diluc the whole winter night, using his body as both a shield, a heat source, and a way to plug the wound. Diluc would survive, Kaeya's new body didn't.
-at some point Diluc became suspicious of all the animals seemingly dying for him. He thinks it's a curse, everything close to him dies, even something as innocent as a baby deer.
-once Diluc reaches Mondstat, he realises what's actually occurring.
-Both in disbelief at this theory he's created and despair realising that he's killed his brother, Diluc runs off into an unmarked domain to blow off some steam.
-this domain was highly dangerous, and at some point, Diluc was very injured and hiding from various abyss mages, abyss lectors, ECT.
-all of a sudden, when it seems like Diluc is about to be caught, a tiny fox pup with a star on its forehead yips out, catching the enemies attention, then it runs away, bringing the enemies with it, sacrificing its life.
-Diluc manages to escape, but not without coming across the barely alive fox pup. Diluc thanks the fox pup, comforting it in its last moments, before curiosity gets the best of him and he asks.
-"...Kaeya?"
-the fox pup licks Diluc's hand in response, staring up at him with bright blue eyes, before succumbing to its injuries.
-Diluc knows for sure that these animals are Kaeya now. Heartbroken, he cradles his brother's fox body, as he returns home, to give his brother's new body a proper burial.
-soon enough, there's a dedicated area in the dawn winery, filled with the animal body's Kaeya's sacrificed to keep Diluc safe, and each body piles on Diluc's conscious, knowing that Kaeya has died multiple times, because of Diluc, whether it be from protecting him, or being at the other end of his sword.
-life goes on, the citizens of Mondstat see random animals trailing behind Diluc each day, from a bunny, to a frog, to a mouse, no matter what, it has a star on its forehead.
-when Diluc notices Kaeya's presence, he tries his best to make it as comfortable as possible, to keep this version of Kaeya alive for as long as possible. It could be bringing a pet bed around with him so Kaeya has a comfortable place to sit when Diluc's bartending, or making sure that Kaeya gets the best diet for his species.
-for a while before the Dvalin incident, Kaeya remains relatively safe, he manages to live a whole rabbit's life, only dying from old age to be reborn as a turtle.
-its during this turtle life that the Dvalin incident occurs, and Kaeya dies twice, once from protecting Diluc from falling rubbles off a building, and once by using himself as a shield from Dvalin's attacks.
-after the dust settles, Kaeya continues to live, as different animals, protecting Diluc to the best of his ability.
-When the abyss order attacks, Kaeya is a peacock, and he stands as a symbol of Mondstats hope, as Mondstat triumphs.
-as a last ditch effort, Diluc begs Kaeya to rest, now that the dangers are gone. Kaeya dies in his arms on the battlefield, as the knights celebrate a victory around him.
-unlike the Multiple times before, a new animal doesn't appear. No puppy trailing behind him with a star on its head, nor finch chick hooked onto his shoulder.
-Kaeya has gone into rest. Diluc allows himself to fully process everything, a grieve for every one of Kaeya's forms.
-years go by without any sight of Kaeya, and Diluc accepts that he is truly gone. Diluc has a child through a surrogate, a young girl with fiery red hair and eyes.
-Diluc's daughter never appears to encounter danger, despite no animal following her around. It's as if something in the wind was protecting her in his stead.
-One the drive back from a late night of business in Mondstat, he passes by the spot father had found Kaeya all those years ago, and since he was there, Diluc decided to take a look.
-instead of the empty clearing he was expecting, the clearing was full of intervals and calla lilies, with small star shaped statues along the clearing, creating a gateway. Cryo crystalflys fly freely about, and the grass is a soft white.
-what god Diluc's the most, was the basket in the middle of the clearing, the exact place Kaeya was left.
-Diluc peers inside the basket and sees Kaeya, alive once again but this time, human. Kaeya has been reborn for the final time, as a human baby. Identical from before, only difference being a star on his forehead.
-Diluc cries out from joy at being able to see his brother once again, but human on top of it. This commotion awakes the baby, who when looking up to see his brother once again, smiles.
another modern au but very different from the last. Zhongven is mentioned here but it isn’t the main focus of the AU
tldr: Long into the future, all the immortal beings live in a sanctuary mimicking old teyvat. Majority of the beings remain in non human forms, including the majority of archons living as dragons.
-takes place during modern times, all immortal and magical being take the form of dragons (for the archons + dragon sovereigns) and other mythical beings (for adept us, youkai, Melusine, ect)
-they all live together in a sanctuary protecting beings of old, the staff are the current vision holders.
-the archons have gone into hiding, taking a sort of retirement living in the sanctuary. The staff aren’t aware the archons live within the sanctuary.
-the sanctuary itself is a large space modified to fits the needs of each species living there, it’s got a see through dome on the top of it to let natural light in, it’s also through this dome that visitors can observe the species inside.
-each area is modified to match each region of teyvat, including miniature models of the old cities and landmarks.
-most creatures from a specific region will stay in their home region, but some outliers travel between multiple
-creatures will set up dens or nests as their homes, staying in them for years. A certain dragon has stayed in the same nest for so long that it’s filled to the brim with gold, jewels and antiques collected from outside the dome and mantua lot put inside the liyue region for him.
-Ei’s den is deep underneath the sacred Sakura, nahida’s den is within the leaves of a grand tree within sumeru, furina’s within a decommissioned opera house
-workers are tasked with ensuring the fake teyvat is able to sustain itself, show tours, provide medical care if needed, ect.
-zhongven, they share a den by stone gate.
-zhongli looks like his usual dragon form, venti looks a bit smaller, similar colours to dvalin with bird wings and feathers. During the winter, venti’s feathers will turn white and puff up to protect from the snow.
-sometimes zhongli and venti will sneak out and return to their human forms for a little date, and return before the sanctuary workers can notice.
-non-archons living within the sanctuary include the adeptus (Xiao, Madam Ping, Cloud Retainer, ect), Youkai (Itto, Gorou, Kujou Sara, ect) and various species in teyvat such as Lynette’s cat species
-other vision holders that survived the celestial war became immortal me thinks, so your favourites are still alive too.
-some characters in particular include: Lyney & Lynette as Cat hybrids (but more cat then before), Arlechinno as a nocturnal bat/panther hybrid, Freminet as part penguin Mecha. There’s more I can add later on
-Klee is all grown up and is the CEO of the company running the sanctuary!
bit of a shorter one, something sweet and lighthearted since I am still holding out for an eventual playable dvalin
tldr: Barbatos finds Dvalin’s egg and raises him as his own. Dvalin can take a human form, and a lot of barbatos imagery depicts him with an ‘unknown’ baby.
-Venti finds Dvalin’s egg and takes it upon himself to ensure the egg hatched
-he gets help from Zhongli closer to the eggs hatching date
-when Dvalin does hatch, he’s a small squishy baby dragon for a day, before suddenly shapeshifting into the form of a human baby with dragon features
-he can switch back and forth but seems to prefer the human form during the first couple decades ( dragons age slowly )
-Dvalin is raised by Venti and Zhongli, he sees them as his parents even if he doesn’t outright state it as often as an adult.
-when Dvalin was a baby and couldn’t be left alone, Venti and Zhongli would take him with them on official business. Venti more often due to his nation being more peaceful at the time.
-due to this, a lot of early imagery depicting Barbatos in Mondstadt also depicts baby Dvalin. Information as to why has been lost to time but the church speculates it is due to his gentle nature.
Future/Modern AU idea i had that doesnt have a set name.
tldr: Modern version of Teyvat. Vision Holders reincarnate with their past memories (some remember less then others) and create a club where all vision holders can meet, Including the deceased archons. Except Venti had never died, and has used his powers to project a false body and live as human.
-everything in canon happens, only ending with celestica being overthrown and the abyss destroyed.
-during the battle, some of the archons die, such as the tsaritsa, pyro archon, ect.
-Ei, Zhongli and Venti are the only survivors of the archons.
-with the gnosis gone, they now have access to all their powers that the gnosis blocked off (the gnosis limited their powers to exclusively their element)
-time passes and both Ei and Zhongli die within 500 years. Zhongli due to erosion, and ei due to the corruption she sustained during the battle.
-Venti continues to live, as the wind itself can never die, especially now that he has access to his original powers given to him by his mother, Istaroth.
- Centuries pass, Teyvat evolves into something that mimics the modern day, cities with sprawling towers surrounded by temples and native species.
-Multiple churches of Favonius have popped up throughout the years now that people live more spread out across Mondstat, with the main city and Dormans port being the only ones to mimic modern cities, and even then only slightly.
-underground, beneath the original church, Venti rests. In his archon form having multiple wings, some being butterfly wings, bird wings, crystal fly wings, ect. A halo surrounds his head with closed eyes. His hair has grown out significantly, however his braids are still intact.
-where he sleeps is like an underground forest, with many animals and plants that have gone extinct during Teyvat growth, living freely below. Venti sits on a throne of plants, mimicking clouds in appearance, alongside dandelions and Cecelias.
-it’s been 5000 years since the final battle, and during that time, sometimes Venti would extract a part of himself to continue to live as a human. He does this throughout the generations. During the modern day, he is a wildly famous pop star.
-suddenly, characters from the game start to reincarnate, with their past memories!
-there’s a ‘club’ of people who remember their past lives, where they can meet up and reunite. It’s discovered here that those who reincarnate are vision bearers.
-at some point, some reincarnated vision users determine that the popstar Venti is the reincarnated version of their bard venti (these people didn't know he was an archon.)
-they manage to get into contact with Venti and he's super happy to see his friends again after centuries! The other archons seemed to have not reincarnated, or atleast have not been found.
-those who knew Venti was an archon confront him in private, to which Venti replies that he never died.
-they're confused, and ask for context, Venti avoids the questions.
-slowly the club grows to include every reincarnated vision user, even the reincarnated archons (who are humans now, but with powers they’re unaware of)

Genshin au, Ragbros centric featuring a little bit of Venti!
tldr: Kaeya is Istaroth's youngest son, and awakens his godly powers whilst staying with the Ragvindr's.
-Kaeya is the youngest son of Istaroth, the god of thousand winds and time, making him the younger brother of Barbatos and the thousand winds.
-Istaroth had a one night stand with Kaeya's father, resulting in Kaeya. Istaroth basically dumped Kaeya onto his father and fucked off after birth.
-Kaeya's father tried his best, here Kaeya was merely the king's cousin's child, barely royalty, to the point they don't even live in the castle, left barely scraping by.
-Kaeya's father didn't know of his royal side of the family, he is merely scraping by raising the son he adores but had no preparation before getting him.
-Kaeya's father is a single father, working quick jobs around Khaenri'ah to make due. Despite this, Kaeya's father wouldn't give up anything for Kaeya.
-Kaeya's father doesn't know that Istaroth was a god, as she had disguised herself as a mortal when meeting Kaeya's father and dropping him off.
-they make due for about a year before Khaenri'ah’s collapse, where luckily, both Kaeya's father and Kaeya survive miraculously (Kaeya unconsciously awakening his godly powers to protect himself and his father). They didn't come out completely unsaved, as Kaeya's father was affected by the curse, doomed to be slowly transformed into an Abyssal being, however it is not instant like many other Khaenri'ahn’s.
-all the survivors create a base at the ruins of the castle, some of those survivors are the former royal family, who continue to take charge.
-its survival of the fittest from here, Kaeya's father slowly but painfully morphs into a hilichurl, only staying fully conscious enough to see Kaeya, now 4, being chosen to be a spy and sent away to Mondstadt.
-from here, the events of canon basically got exactly the same, except one moment when Kaeya is 7
-when he was 7, he felt extremely Ill. Many were worried he wouldn't last another night, this broke Crepus's heart, barely leaving his side as healers tried and failed to identify the boy's illness.
-late into the night, when everyone else in the house is asleep, Crepus steps out of Kaeya's room to wet a cloth to cool the boy down, and when he enters the room, he's met with hundreds of the thought to be extinct wind wisps and Lord Barbatos looking over the boy.
-Crepus is flabbergasted, pausing before beginning to audibley pray and beg for Barbatos to cure Kaeya's illness.
-Barbatos laughs, pulling Crepus back onto his feet and explaining that Kaeya isn’t sick, his powers are simply fully awakening.
-still confused, Barbatos explains further, that Kaeya is his youngest sibling, and he’s been watching over him since he arrived in Mondstadt. Now that Kaeya’s powers are awakening, he’s here alongside the many wind sprite siblings to help teach Kaeya how to control his powers.
-Barbatos stays the whole night, helping Kaeya throughout the awakening.
-Kaeya grows peacock wings and a tail during this process, with the ends of some feathers trailing off into what looks to be a night sky full of stars.
-Kaeya was extremely confused and distressed when he woke up, scared of Barbatos especially. He trips over his wings, hides behind Crepus, ect.
-crepus sits down and explains to Kaeya what happened.
-this only confused Kaeya more, but he calmed down a little, he's still hiding behind Crepus when barbatos introduced himself.
-Kaeya’s still cautious, but allows himself to calm down a little.
-the day begins to rise and Barbatos has to leave, but promises to return soon to help teach Kaeya.
-this carries on for a couple years, with Barbatos arriving at night to teach Kaeya his godly abilities, and Crepus making sure it stays a secret whilst supporting him.
-everything that happens during Diluc’s 18th birthday happens, except Kaeya doesn’t get a vision. Before Diluc can serve his finishing move, Kaeya is whisked away.
-Diluc runs off to do his whole revenge plot, and Kaeya wakes up in his godly form, his new scars turning into miniature galaxies flowing on his skin.
-Istaroth saved Kaeya before he could die. She might be distant and neglectful, but she doesn’t want to see Kaeya die.
-she tells him that now's as good a time as any to start his role as god of the sky. The real sky, not the fake sky Celestia put up.
-Istaroth shows Kaeya his new domain, showing him how to manipulate star dust to create living beings, control planets' gravitational pull, and more.
-it’s there Kaeya stays for years, with his only visitors being Barbatos and the wind wisps, his only remaining family.
-Kaeya often stares down at Teyvat, wondering how everyone is in his absence. He can't see anyone from above, and the questions he asks Barbatos doesn't quell his wonders.
-He misses everyone in Mondstadt dearly, however he knows he's gone too far to ever return, especially after his confession to Diluc, who ‘definitely told everyone by now’
-cut to modern day, a mysterious domain was discovered, and Jean asks the traveller to accompany her as she clears it out. Diluc tags along when the travellers ask them too.
-Diluc is slightly different in this au. Part of his dark knight hero shtick is trying to discover where Kaeya is, because once his mind cleared up, he realised how weird it was that Kaeya completely disappeared, and this got worse once he realised Kaeya was never found afterwards.
-when they enter this domain, the world shifts around them. The floor is replaced with a transparent floor, covered in fake stars and clouds, with a view of Teyvat underneath. Surrounding them is a lively, beautiful galaxy of stars, with swirls of colours and constellations littering the sky.
-some constellations seem to come alive and move across the sky.
-The group are confronted by an stary outline of a peacock, calling itself Pavo. He says he is a part of the Pavo oculus constellation. He remarks that the group should be able to see some of it underneath the false sky, which confuses the group.
-when questioned, Pavo states that all of Teyvat is covered in a fake sky, put into place by Celestia, and where they are now is the outside layer of that fake sky to the real one.
-Diluc, Jean and the Traveller are left to navigate the border between Teyvat and the vastness of space, finding more clues to Kaeya’s disappearance.
first AU for this blog! ragbros centric genshin au, this first ones a bit sad
warning: child death
-Kaeya had been living with the Ragnvindr’s for most of his life, joining that at 3 years old to the current setting (7-8). Diluc is 3 years older than him (10-11) and Is the best big brother ever. Kaeya has been apart of the family for years now
-Crepus takes the boys out to the city for a day so they can visit friends whilst he deals with business in the city.
-Kaeya ends up alone after Diluc is dragged away by some of his friends
-Kaeya roams around Mondstat, buying a little plush peacock for himself with pocket money Crepus gave him
-Kaeya ends up seeing Eroch gesturing to him to follow him. Not following at first, but eventually convinced when the Eroch says he needs Kaeya to give something to Crepus.
-that was a ploy, because in actuality, Eroch had taken Kaeya to a secluded area in Mondstat and murdered him, as Il Dottore discovered his Khaenri'ah origin and wanted his blood to conduct an experiment.
-Eroch leaves Kaeya's body behind, knowing that it would be awhile before the body is found due to the area they were in.
-time passes, Crepus finishes his business and goes to the agreed meeting place he and his children set up, for only Diluc to return.
-After a couple minutes, Crepus is concerned and asks Diluc if he's seen Kaeya, thus finding out that Diluc had left his brother behind, distracted by his friends.
-Crepus is upset, letting Diluc know that next time to take his brother with him, or atleast make sure Kaeya wouldn't be completely alone. Diluc, ever dramatic, sobs and swears he'll never leave Kaeya alone again.
-more time passes and Crepus is getting more and more worried, he goes to some knights to ask if they've seen Kaeya recently, to which he is informed that Kaeya was last spotted at a stall before wandering off, seemingly with purpose.
-with the help of some of the knights and townsfolk nearby, Crepus runs around the city looking for Kaeya.
-as the sun begins to set, Crepus begins to get frantic, yelling out Kaeya's name. when he hears a scream from across town that he runs towards the source.
-When Crepus reaches the area from the scene, he sees an alleyway being blocked off, some knights rushing away to fetch their superiors, some blocking the alley, others comforting a woman who appeared horrified as she cried.
-one of the knights blocking the alley looks up and meets Crepus's gaze, his face turning to one of pity and guilt as he approaches Crepus.
-Crepus is told that they have discovered Kaeya's body
-horrified, Crepus refuses to believe Kaeya had passed, it's only when he catches a glimpse down the alley, when he realises the situation is all too real.
-he sees his youngest son, his baby in all but blood, lying limp with stab wounds all over his body, and the worst part was the alley was absolutely drenched in blood. Just out of his son's body's reach was the small peacock plush, the first thing Kaeya had ever purchased on his own, drenched in blood.
-Crepus screams at the sight, desperately trying to reach Kaeya but is held back by the knight. It takes several men to pull Crepus away from the scene, which he proceeds to break into hysterics and tears, still being held back by a couple men to prevent him from disturbing the crime scene.
-Eventually Diluc wonders upon the scene and cries out in distress seeing his father like that, Diluc runs up to his father asking what's wrong, which Crepus doesn't answer as he just scoops Diluc up in his arms and holds him tight. Diluc doesn't know what's going on, but he tries to comfort his dad.
-A cart is sent to bring Crepus and Diluc home, Crepus begs to stay, pleading to stay by his son's side. Diluc refuses to leave without Kaeya, which only causes the Crepus to break more.
-its at this point that Diluc realises something is wrong with Kaeya, he asks what's wrong but nobody answers, some knights only saying that he'll find out eventually, and that it's an adult conversation.
-eventually they make it home, where the news is relayed to the staff via a messenger as Crepus cannot say what happened without breaking into more tears. Diluc cries as well, from confusion and distress seeing everyone so sad, aswell and anger from not knowing what happened to his baby brother.
-moving forward, Kaeya's body is taken and buried among the Ragvindr’s graveyard with thousands of calla lilies on his grave, whilst his autopsy revealed that his wounds resembled those in which someone would use on a corpse to remove its blood.
-Evidence is collected that shows that Eroch commited the crime, however it is kept secret as Eroch hides the evidence and continues working with Fatui. Kaeya's case goes cold.
-Crepus can't handle the idea that he'll never know who killed his baby, he becomes obsessed with finding the murderer, despite how much it hurts him. Crepus still makes sure to spend as much time as possible with Diluc, now knowing that the worst can happen after learning it in the worst way possible.
-Diluc is eventually told what happened, without the Gorey details, he's heartbroken. He clings to his father for months after the incident, believing that his father would also die if he left him alone.
-Crepus sleeps in Kaeya's room often, remembering all the nights he comforted Kaeya after his night terrors, treated him when he was Ill, and welcomed him into their family.
-Crepus starts working out more, learning to use daggers and swords, as he's paranoid that if he does find the killer, that he won't be able to get revenge as his body is too weak.
-Crepus ends up painting Kaeya a lot, as a sort of therapy, he paints every happy moment they had with him, preserving his memory.
-10 years pass and Crepus discovers that Eroch killed Kaeya from orders from the Fatui, the doctor in particular, and harvested kaeya's blood as he was Khaenri'ah, and the doctor wanted to experiment to see the differences between Khaenri'ah and Teyvatians.
-Crepus is furious, racing up to the headquarters with the evidence he's collected, dumping it onto Varka's desk before storming out, rolling up his sleeves.
-Crepus breaks the door of Eroch's office, storming in and throwing a punch, dragging Eroch to the ground where he begins to brutally beat him. Varka eventually drags Crepus off Eroch, but not before letting him get a good beating, then ordering other knights to place Eroch in the prisons.
-Varka bandages Crepus's hands, having gotten rough and injured during Eroch's beating.
-Now allowed to go through Eroch's office, Varka and Crepus discover mountains of evidence that proves his guilt to a multitude of crimes. Every part makes Crepus's blood boil thinking that he ever trusted this man.
-Crepus opens the draw of Eroch's desk to discover a vial filled with red liquid… Kaeya's blood.
-Crepus freezes, holding the vial and turns to Varka, whose fist clench and whiten. Crepus puts the vial down before he collapses onto the ground in tears, Varka catched him and joins in with the tears, Jean hears this happen from outside the door.
-the trial commences, where Eroch's crimes are shared to the entirety of Mondstat’s, who have shown up in support of the Ragvindr’s family and in anger of what had happened to their youngest member, who had the kindest smile and a shy personality.
-Eroch became the first ever death sentence ordered in Mondstat since the revolution against the Lawrence clan.
-Crepus pours out the blood from the vial over the top of Kaeya's grave once everything is one, hoping it can give him some semblance of peace. It angers Crepus knowing that his son may never fully rest because some made man is experimenting with his blood.
-after Crepus finished pouring out the blood, an electro vision forms In Front of him. He has little reaction, despite a vision being something he dreamed about years ago, now Crepus only dreams for his family to be complete again, with both his sons.
-Diluc was so furious when he discovered that Kaeya's blood was given to the Fatui that he almost ran out to Snezhnaya to fight it back, but Crepus stopped him as he didn't want to lose another son to those monsters.
-Meanwhile in Snezhnaya, Dottore has been experimenting with Kaeya’s blood for years now, alongside the blood of the orphans he stole during the comic.
-through this blood, Dottore has created his own hilichurls.
-these hilichurls are a mix of fur and metal, as the cores of ruin machines are used as the hilichurls heart, with a metal armour of sorts keeping the body intact and providing areas to include weaponry.
-The hilichurls are in constant pain. Their bodies aren't fully formed, their fur feels like fire, moving feels like walking on nails, and breathing struggles their broken lungs.
-Kaeya, including the orphans, were reborn as these hilichurls.
-The hilichurls were to be sent to another nation to be studied further, however Kaeya broke out of the ship and landed in Mondstadt.
-Who will find Kaeya first? The Ragvindr's or the Fatui?
When Charlotte was born, a very rare flower sort of attached itself to her in a way? They're linked basically. Charlotte grew up relatively normally, she always made sure to water said flower (that always seemed to be around whenever she needed it to be) and do general kid stuff.
Then she was killed. And the flower couldn't stand for that
Charlotte's soul and the flower fused, leaving Charlotte to awaken as a flower/life goddess, being able to create life all around her! Only downside was being stuck inside the (now giant) flower, or atleast that's what she thinks at the moment
Couple years pass and some townsfolk discover Charlotte's existence and she becomes a sort of myth in the town she grew up in.
It comes to a point where a familiar face finds her, with 5 young bodies, trying to use them as some sort of sacrifice to bring his youngest back to life.
In that moment, Charlotte discovers another power. She can leave the flower for a small amount of time, exchanging her powers of life for a sword and a shield.
Once she successfully forces Afton to leave, she returns to the flower and tries to bring the children back to life. Still being new to her powers, all she could do with turn then into ghost warriors, aka what her other form is.
She promised the children that she'll keep practicing to bring them back, and the children decided to protect her and the nearby villages to ensure safety
