"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?

Hoping you'd never come across him again. 8 years later, you finally fulfilled your dream of opening your own café. Everything was going well and you were cleaning after closing up for the day, until a mysterious tall stranger broke into your café.

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." Genshin impact || Childe x Lumine Mini trailer: https://youtu.be/cORk0DCeLC0 This fanfic was originally written in French (available through my profile), and I decided to translate it to English myself. ───────────────────── Start of publication: March 26th, 2021 End of publication: June 25th, 2021 End of editing: Oct. 9th, 2021 ───────────────────── Beautiful cover realized by @Les_Phoenix !

Love Between Worlds - Diluc x Fem Reader
(All art in this fan fiction is not mine) I know this fanfic is very different to the fanfics I have done before. But honestly I can't see me ever returning to them. I'm not necessarily not still in the fandom, but I'm not as active as I one was. And so much has changed since those stories started. So I am now writing a fanfic based on the Genshin Impact franchise. I might write more in future but for now I'm sticking with Diluc. WARNING: there will be some non pg chapters but I will give proper warnings when those chapters release! I hope you enjoy this fanfic! I have only just recently joined the fandom, so if some facts don't add up, please just keep this in mind. I've tried to keep it as accurate as possible.Complete![When the Stars Fall [Genshin Impact]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/315882881-256-k309901.jpg)

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
