Diluc knew calling CPS was the better option. He was horrible with kids, and they had a tendency to not like him, too. So, why couldn't he get his fingers to finish typing out the required numbers when he found a crying child in his bar?

-

"Get out."

The child did not look phased at all. In fact, he giggled. "I suspect you would think and say as much, for I look young and such," he rhymed, his hands moving along with his flowing words. "A drink in exchange for a story performed, just one for a boy so scorned?"

Diluc did not miss the way his lips pursed out into a pout and the way his eyes widened in an innocent expression. Fortunately, the owner disliked needy children as much as he hated the taste of alcohol. He prepared himself to repeat his statement when the consumer on the left chimed in, "Where are your parents, kid?"

His bright smile twitched. "Under their watch I certainly am. Do not fear, we're not in a jam." The kid laughed it off again, and this time Diluc noticed the dirt crusted under his nails. He felt for his phone again. The bartender knew a liar when he saw one.Creative Commons (CC) Attribution

Blissful Bite ─ Venti x reader by cloudyrainee

❝Your blood is beyond that of a goddess..❞ summary; To be a vampire hunter is a dangerous job. And so is Y/n L/n, a well-known figure among the vampire hunters. She always ends up fluctuating between the grey and black moral area in hunting. Efficiency, cruelty, and discipline are her work descriptions. On the other hand, Barbatos- or Venti, known among humans, was a mysterious figure she bumped into on the market while chasing a vampire. The coincidence was bittersweet, it was strange how easily she felt wrapped in his charm. Never trust a stranger. When the young woman gets sent on a mission, one that is so blurry that it messes with her morals, it becomes clear that capturing someone won't go the usual way. Especially when you let your guard down.

drain my soul (and give me my fill) - diluc x reader oneshot by faetoons

"I commend you on a strategic match, at least." You whisper angrily, taking your first step down the aisle. The pace is slow, painfully slow. A path to a known, unwanted fate, like walking the plank to a known abyss below. "How did you ever convince such a man to take my hand? He who has no need for a dowry, or a wife, at that?" At the end of the aisle, Father kisses your forehead and takes your hands, then leans forward to whisper into your ear. The words send you into a second of such startling confusion that you cannot think, reply, or move, and you thank Barbatos that you have a veil to hide your expression: "I did no such thing." Father says, "Remember, Master Diluc asked that he may have you." ꨄ A year after your break-up because of an incident at the Windblume Festival, you find yourself arranged to marry Diluc. Your parents want you to use his money to relieve their debts, but you can't even bring yourself to dine with him, let alone forgive him. However, as time continues and you reconcile how you feel with your husband, Fatui intervention causes forces you to think smart and fast about how to bring Diluc back home and recover from your parent's ill intentions.

sic semper tyrannis by 1mb_ps

Thus always to tyrants. Bad, but justified, ends always befall tyrants. Alhaitham grew up on the belief that the Akademiya was corrupt, as was the royalty, and Sumeru was doomed to someday fall. But Kaveh wasn't like them. Kaveh was fire burning bright, passion itself, and he was certainly not his father. He wasn't, nor ever would be, a tyrant. Alhaitham would make sure of it. ________ "You detest me," Alhaitham said quietly, breaking the silence. It was hard to finish with that, hard to form the words when there was so much more at hand than just how they may have felt toward each other. After all, they stood in a literal hell, the flames still flickering and smoldering out. The bodies still lay bloody around them. Kaveh stared. Not at him, but at the hill surrounding them. He took it in, everything in its brevity, and let out a slow breath. Then he turned back to Alhaitham with no light behind those ruby eyes, with all the pale coldness of a man he'd once killed. He smiled and repeated, knowing his line by heart. "I detest you the way the sun detests the moon. You cannot have one without the other, but they chase each other away all the same." 𓆩✧︎𓆪 Join us on the Haikaveh Discord (16+): https://discord.gg/hkvh Originally written by Zeferyx on Ao3, posted with permission.

Erythrophobia by kerokeropekopon

Kaeya fears Diluc's vermillion eyes. He has ever since the other man returned to Mondstadt 2 years ago. He ignored it at the time, hoping it was a stupid irrational fear that would fade. It hasn't though--- If anything, he thinks he's gotten worse in the last couple of months. Even just the color red is making him do a double-take every time it comes into his vision. He feels his perfected mask is slipping and he doesn't know how to fix it. He can only hope that it isn't too noticable. Meanwhile, Diluc wants to reconcile. The only issue is, he has no idea how to and Kaeya has been acting strange. He wants to figure him out. ------- (Note: This is not a ship fic. All interactions between Kaeya and Diluc in this story are purely platonic and familial. Don't like, don't read. Also, both Kaeya and Diluc are trans.) ((CONTENT WARNING (added 10/19/24): This fanfic depicts an unhealthy relationship between the brothers and goes into depth about their mindsets. If you are uncomfortable with reading depictions of unhealthy/toxic family dynamics, please turn back now and go hug a loved one)) Trigger warnings are listed at the beginning of any chapter that needs them, but general TWs include: suicidal thoughts, self-harm, alcoholism, paranoia, panic attacks, physical and mental trauma Uploads are inconsistent (college student struggle)

One-Night Stand by Iahnas

It started with a random hook-up in a bar. It ended with a surprise. ♦ 1 - Disturbing ♦ 2 - Endearing ♦ 3 - Depressing ♦ "You here on business, Suit? You're a little overdressed for a place like this." Kaeya smirked, twisting the end of the splintering toothpick in his mouth between two poorly manicured fingers. This new man was decked out in an expensive three-piece number. He wore his money on his back but Kaeya was sure he had deeper pockets still. "Sure. You could call it that..." He liked this answer. He could feel the man's eyes all over him, undressing him in his mind. He wondered if his imagination was doing the scene justice; perhaps this stranger would disappoint him like the last-or maybe, just maybe, he'd finally be pleasantly surprised. "We can't all wear leather so well as you, you know," he continued, staring directly at the kid's crotch, which was bulging nicely in his shrink-wrap-tight pants. "Ah, I bet you could, mister," said Kaeya next, slowly leaning forward in his seat a little. "Those long legs of yours would look good in these pants. Yeah, I bet you'd look real good..." "Oh, is that right...?" He was still rolling the toothpick between his index finger and thumb, watching as this new man followed his every move like a hunter through a scope. "Wanna get out of here and find out what it's like to... get in my pants?" "Fuck yeah, I do. Your place or mine, baby?" "Does it matter? Either way, I'm gonna rock your world... fuckin' rock it." "Well, then..." Diluc replied through a sly, secretive grin, "I won't expect anything less..." ♦ Your typical sex-filled one-shot... with a twist. WARNING: Sexual content, profanity, violence, yaoi, and a few surprises yet to come... Please read responsibly.
