Summary
“You were looking for an excuse to speak to him anyways, and I gave it to you,” Aphrodite rolls her eyes, disregarding most of his words, and handing Apollo her wine glass in order to pull a mirror out of her bag, checking her lipstick. He resists the urge to spill it over her dress. “And, he asked me for help, even left me offerings. Why wouldn’t I take a chance to make two negatives a positive?”
“He left you dinner leftovers.”
Aphrodite waves it off. “Same thing, really. My children keep leaving me make-up and chocolate. Other people leave flowers. They’re sweet, but at least Percy Jackson offers something less habitual. I hate boredom.”
“You love chaos, and plotting, like with Reyna,” Apollo translates, and starts drinking her wine because, what in Hades, might as well. He needs a drink. “So I was a negative that needed fixing?”
“You are, yes,” she nods, no remorse to it, and Apollo wonders why he decided to go through with this.
--------------
Percy gets himself into a tough situation, Apollo helps. Love ensues, and it's only slightly Aphrodite's fault.Series

Summary
Diluc clenches his jaw, focusing on avoiding a flinch, but the reminder of Kaeya’s relation to the kingdom hidden deep within the confines of the Abyss grates on his nerves. He wants nothing but to hide him away, if only until they can regulate the situation properly, yet knows he can’t as well as he knows that Kaeya has a point.
“Please,” he begs instead, thinking it might get him farther than arguing. “Just let me—”
“No,” Kaeya takes a step towards him, and reaches out to take his hand, squeezing it. “No. Let’s be honest here, Diluc, I’ll be trying to communicate with them to the best of my ability. When that doesn’t work, I’ll have no issue using foreign tactics that could upset a stomach, including khemia. Anything to lighten the pressure over Mondstadt.”
“Are you threatening them, or threatening me?”
--------------
Alternatively: a lot of suffering.

Summary
Kaeya’s blood runs cold, already, but now it seems to freeze in his veins as he steels himself. Like so many times before, when it comes to Diluc, it hurts, the way the words roll off his tongue, the way he has to make up for the slack, because, clearly, Kaeya is the only one that never forgets that he’s willing to die with Diluc’s name on his lips, even if he has to take his life himself to guarantee that.
“Get out.”
Diluc flinches. “What?”
“I’m busy, Master Diluc,” Kaeya’s tone is cutting, colder than it’s been ever since he handed Diluc his Vision back. Shock seems to be registering in Diluc’s system, the way it did for Kaeya when he found out he left Mondstadt, left him behind; Kaeya’s never been the one asking this of him, but there’s a first for everything. He needs some space. “I promise to fill you in, but right now, there are more pressing manners in my schedule.”

Summary
“Sinners and monsters,” Diluc repeats, squinting at the board. “And you include yourself in those categories?”
Kaeya sips his drink, watches Diluc make yet another wrong move, and reaches over to knock his king down himself. Surprisingly, Diluc lets it slide, and makes purposeful eye contact with him. Kaeya can feel his own expression softening. “I carry my burdens without protest, Luc, if that’s what you’re worried about.”
Diluc heaves a sigh, one so great that his shoulders rise and fall with it. “Of course you do.”
--------------
Kaeya's birthday is a private affair.

if i can't relate to you anymore, then who am i related to? by stardustupinlights

Summary
People are healing, hanging onto hope that the young Master Ragnvindr will one day come back through rumors and gossip – what that merchant spouted, no one believed, except for Kaeya, because he knows Diluc – and he envies their ability to move on like this.
--------------
Kaeya Alberich is the worst thing that’s ever happened to Diluc.
He might also be the best, but anyone who thinks so is clearly biased.
--------------
(Alternatively, in which they fail at forgetting each other.)

Summary
Anti-heroes with attitude problems.
Diluc's no fun to be around, and you can only trust half of what Kaeya says, if anything at all.
What bleeds the most: a beaten heart, or a broken one?
