His Eyes Never Change (Gold like Cor Lapis, Blue as Noctilucous Jade) by stars_at_dawn
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
24 Nov 2024

Summary
10/02/2024 - MAJOR EDITS DONE - Guizhong's adeptus form has been changed, previous chapters affected include Chapters 20 and 22
It takes a lot to catch Tartaglia, 11th of the Fatui Harbingers, off guard. Between surviving three months with the monsters of the Abyss at age fourteen, fighting his way up from square one through the ranks of the Fatui to his current position, and maintaining his facade as “The Greatest Toy Salesman in Snezhnaya” in the eyes of his youngest and most mischievous brother; yes, it would take a lot to find him in a truly tight spot.
Waking up in a body that existed nearly 3,700 years ago in the land that had yet to become Liyue? That would be disorienting even for a god. And speaking of gods, the only person he can turn to happens to be one. Here's hoping that the younger Zhongli is as friendly as the one Childe has grown close to.
Arc 1: Dreams, Incense, and the Gods (Ch. 1-13)
Arc 2: Secrets Beneath the Clouds (Ch. 14-23)
Arc 3: Unearthed Truths (Ch. 24-32)
Arc 4: Days of Gold (33-39)
Arc 5: When the Dust Settles (40-???)Featuring some amazing fanart! Credits found in the chapter notes.

Doesn't it seem odd, that Diluc wanted to kill Kaeya for being a spy, only to leave Mondstadt in his care a second later?
Doesn't it seem odd, that while their brotherhood crumbled, Kaeya stayed strong with his loyalty to Mond, while Diluc was the one who left everything behind?
Anyway, yeah, it's fucking weird.
So, let's twist the story around a little. Both of the brothers deserved to escape from that tragedy for a while, not only one of them :)---
[❄Ice Hermit AU nobody asked for❄ - Kaeya treated like a mountain demon while Diluc is angsting downstairs, trying to find him. Don't mind me, I'm just playing around with the idea~👀]

Summary
"You know, sometimes I kept questioning why am I still here with you, just to suffer?"
"You know, I wished you never existed in the past."
"That's just rude, you can't just wish for a part of yourself to just not exist. What the fuck would that make you then?"
"I can just be Adeptus Xiao, I probably don't have to meet that fucking monster of a god, and I probably won't be as depressed as people say I am."
"Ah yes, then General Alatus would never have existed."
"Not gonna lie though, I'm starting to like that title within the past few years."
Or
Just a fic where Xiao had a rough past and believed that beta Xiao is mean, but he isn't! Written after 2.7 Interlude Archon Quest
Inspiration: [Genshin Impact AMV] Xiao: Deliver Me
Disclaimer: most of the characters belong to Mihoyo/Hoyoverse, unless if I just slap a random NPC, or make up an existing character's persona because canon lore about them is limited to none (like Xiao's previous master, tho I only claim ownership over the personality, not the character itself). -

Summary
In tales of old, they said that the skies were designed after the wings of the Anemo Archon.The age-old hymns depict Barbatos as a being of light, folk of the air–the North wind given a human shape. They sang of his wings, expanding the width of the sky and shining as iridescent as the guiding star as he led them from the ruins of their lost city into the lands of promised freedom.
The land of freedom hasn’t changed in the centuries since he’s last seen it. It’s a beautiful afternoon in this nation of wine, he mused to himself. It’s been far too long, indeed.
or, upon being freed from their shackles and unhindered by miscommunication, two old gods reunite. featuring the truth of venti's wings and zhongli's not-so-stony heart.

Summary
"Awfully forward of you. I usually don't put out until the third date." Kaveh rolls his eyes, feeling a flicker of pride for not flinching at the sharp look the other man gives him. "Jokes, Alhaitham. Might do you good to learn about them."
Alhaitham frowns. "Are you always so difficult?"
A peal of laughter escapes Kaveh. Difficult, as if he's a misbehaving dog and not an entire human struck into a tailspin.
"I'm making an exception for you."
Kaveh never expected to be dragged into the world of Sumeru's dark underbelly. And what he expected even less was to look down the barrel of his savior's gun to see Alhaitham, his childhood friend, the boy from his memories long lost to the cold man now before him.

Summary
“I have made a new creation.” Rhinedottir explained. “He is around the prince's age, and has not had a lot of experience socializing. I hypothesized that interacting with children his age may help him to develop. Your son is a very social child, from what I’ve heard. I’ll be honoured if you were to allow the two to interact.”
Or
What if a prototype for Albedo was created before Khaenri’ah fell, and Rhinedottir wanted him to get some social interaction in between learning alchemy -

Summary
Time has passed. People have forgotten, they have aged, and he is losing this war against something uncontrollable even to gods. He has forgotten and no one will be there to remember for him. Zhongli knows that there were people he cherished and people he loved, and now they have been forgotten by mankind. He is the only one left to tell their stories. But how can he? How can someone who does not remember the plot of a book properly tell it? He is going to die without the memories of their faces and their stories and deaths, and then he, too, will be forgotten. Zhongli is alone and he is being forgotten by mortals whose myths tell not the truth and whose minds grow tired. They remember him in the ways he was not; forget him in the ways he was.

Summary
Sometimes when Ana was alone, it was hard to tell whether the numbness she felt came from the cold, or within.
The orphanage did not do well in letting Ana have the capacity to be able to care about trivial matters such as emotions.
Ana had found it was much easier to live in apathy, as the alternative was pain.

And even Alhaitham, who took in the pride of being rational at all times, can only retain his mind for so long.
or

Summary
"I do not have the time to argue about your questionable choices."
Questionable choices, he faintly feels Kaveh scoffing.
"I will be leaving, and I need you to make sure the chores are done. Water the plants, leave food out for Shirzan, and clean after yourself. I do not want to find anything dead when I return."
"Yes yes I know, you say this every time. I am not a child, besides, I take better care of this place than you do."
"I am asking you to not change the overall state of the house." He couldn't help but yank on the strands still in his hand, earning a satisfying yelp from the owner.
Kaveh refused to comment, not having the energy to argue with his roommate on a matter he could not defend. Those curtains were asking for it.
