..⃗. welcome 𑁍ࠜೄ ・゚ˊˎ please read the notes!! ty! ﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋ ╰➢ hey! I've never written any fanfic before so if this is shit uhh.. yeh. ty for clicking on this and enjoy! 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 // | ╰➢ If you don't already know, Diluc escaped death from the Fatui many times. In this fic, he wants to become stronger to prove he didn't just get lucky and escape, he's more than that. One evening, Diluc finds himself watching the clock again during his hours at the tavern, until he's interrupted by the well-known bard stumbling through the door. Venti has owed Diluc for a while, his little performances haven't been paying up in the long run. So the drunken bard promises to help Diluc out with his struggles. *notes!! (read!!) -- don't forget that although this is a diluc X venti fic, I do not sexualize venti in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. Diluc is 20-25 and Venti is well.. 2500. Now his body age is somewhat of 17+ but for this fic or any other I do not want to imply that diluc and Venti are having a sexual relationship. I think that they go cutely together because of the reincarnation theory pretty much. I wouldn't even think that they would properly kiss (like other than pecks on the cheek etc) or any hanky-panky whatsoever. I simply enjoy the dynamic and slightly romantic relationship possibility between them (P.s I headcanon venti as asexual either way - and for diluc probably greysexual? Yeh). --- I really hope that you enjoy this fic I'll probably update regularly if I can. It depends on how well chapter 1-3 (probably 1-3.. idrk rn. Idek if I'll release this, I just thought it would be fun) goes/if I get any feedback. (published on 9th aug '21) Thank you!
