A SHORT STORY (for anyone who wants one):
So....For this to make sense, you have to understand my boyfriend is a DiluVen shipper. It's hands down his favorite ship in the game, everything else he is partial to. When I ask him why he ships it so much, he said that he played the Archon quest and saw their canonical interactions. The idea of both of them bonding over alcohol at Angel's Share, having the worshipper vs. god dynamic is very appealing to him, so he likes it. He basically liked it since the beginning and never stopped liking it.
So I asked him, "Why don't you write a fic about them, then?" to which he answered, "No way in chance, I'm not good at writing."
We eventually made a deal, where I play his favorite brawler game in exchange he'd write a fic about Diluc and Venti...within a nine month period of time. I'm pretty excited about it, actually. I wonder how he'd portray the smut scenes because he said he'd include some haha
If I have his permission, maybe I'd post it here sometime, who knows.
