"I'm tired of being second best. Tired of not being enough."
Living a life full of almosts and second places, Y/N is no stranger to the feeling of being a supporting character in her own life. After coming to Mondstadt and finally acheiving a title at the Knights of Favonius, her life seems to be making a turnaround. Unfortunately, fate has other plans as her past catches up and Y/N begins to bump into the person she can't stand the most: Diluc Ragnvindr. A man who reciprocates Y/N's feelings of aversion.
Once Y/N begins to form other feelings for him, will he reciprocate those as well? Or will Y/N fall back into the ever-so familiar grasp of second place?

On a night stroll through Mondstadt's moon-lit fields, she comes across a dark figure followed by a flash of bright red. Could it be.... The infamous rumored Darknight Hero?

EN | An encounter she will never forget | ᴄʜɪʟᴜᴍɪ
Tears flow without her being able to hold them back. She shouldn't have grown attached. This, she only discovered until it was too late. Now that the bonds are firmly in place, will she have the will to break them with her own hands? They say ignorance is bliss, but can one still be happy after realizing that this man she is infatuated with is her enemy without any free will? After realizing that he is just a fragile mortal while she travels through the eons? After realizing that no matter what happens, there will always be an excruciating end to this relationship? Mortals are selfish, as Childe has proven to her so many times. But do near-gods have the right to be as well? Lumine has never wanted to answer this question so much in her life, and it is finally Childe who gives her the much desired answer. "I will prove to you that even you have the right to happiness."

When the Stars Fall [Genshin Impact]
Word count ≈ 66k Started - 9/7/2022 Completed 9/7/2023 (this is a disclaimer, i wrote this when i was like... 12-13 so it is notoriously bad) Y/N Ragnvindr is the youngest, only daughter of the Ragnvindr clan of Mondstadt. Caught between two feuding brothers, Diluc and Kaeya, it seems like there's no way of finally having them reconcile. That all changes when the meteorites fall. And with them they bring devastating consequences. "People are falling into deep slumbers and they aren't waking up." Forgotten secrets swept under the rug are brought to light after years of concealment. Swept into a life she swore never to live, Y/N's house, her worldviews, everything she has known has been discovered being built on lies. What happens when each tainted brick is removed, one by one? The Fatui life is not for the weak, and the past catches up quickly... Somebody is coordinating this play. The playwright of this deluded, macabre of a show, is hiding just out of reach, pulling the strings of fate. "The stars, the sky... It's all a gigantic hoax - a lie."Complete
