𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐚𝐰𝐧 (Diluc x F!Reader)

"He was fire
beautiful, relentless, and doomed to consume himself.
And I... I was the fool who tried to hold the flame."

Before Mondstadt knew him as the Darknight Hero, Diluc Ragnvindr was a man carved from grief and silence.
You were someone from his past
a fragment of warmth he tried to leave behind when the fire of vengeance became his only companion.

When fate pulls you back into his orbit, the embers of what was once friendship threaten to reignite into something far deeper, far more dangerous. But love, like flame, does not choose what it burns.

In a city of wine and whispers, where the sun never seems to rise the same way twice, two broken souls find each other again
not to forget the past, but to survive it.

"Even after the fire dies, the dawn remembers the smoke."
