a cavalry captain walks into a bar by mousiekosmos

Summary
A Cavalry Captain walks into a bar and immediately slams a few thousand mora on the counter.
“Give me however much this’ll buy,” he says, and quite frankly, he looks horrendous. So much so it’s a bit strange, actually, Diluc thinks as he bends to pick up the coins that’ve toppled onto his feet in the process.
For one, he smells something between a ditch and a river. Probably both, given he also happens to be half caked in mud and various splatterings of bruises, and the lot of it seems to purple under the warm tavern lamplight as he smacks his forehead against the wood, "I don't care what, just make it strong."
The bottle of dandelion wine goes clunking back to the shelf, "Fire-water mixer?"
"Perfect."

Bad Things Happen Bingo | Paranoia |
--
“No, you don’t understand,” Diluc whines, “No one’s ever escaped him. He’ll come for me. I’ll be free just long enough to finally feel comfortable, to finally breathe and then he’ll come for me. I know it. I’m here on borrowed time. I’m always going to end up back there. He said so himself.”
Kaeya bites back the sob expanding in his chest.
Diluc continues, “Every time I hear a rustle outside, or someone knocks on the door unexpectedly, or I see a light on the road, I just know it’s him coming for me, and I can’t escape him, I can’t get away, I-”
--
OR: When Diluc injures his leg, Jean forces him to stay at Kaeya's apartment while he recovers. But Diluc's traumatized, anxious, and paranoid... and Kaeya manages to inadvertently play right into his fears.
NOW WITH A SECOND CHAPTER WITH NEW PLOT FROM DILUC'S POV

Summary
Albedo was proven guilty.
Kaeya knew that, of course. He knew what Albedo was capable of, knew what sometimes plagued the blonde's mind; the darker corners of him, the sharp edges he kept under that calm demeanour and soft smiles. But he had also known - no, believed - that they could've gotten away with it. That he could have pulled Albedo out of whatever mess he had stumbled into this time. That his own clever tongue and sleepless nights spent combing through evidence would be enough.

Summary
They start talking one day.
Out of nowhere, without prior motivation other than the fragment of a drunken conversation two loud scholars were having by their side almost an hour before any word was exchanged.A simple: “Domestication isn’t a bad thing,” Kaeya had muttered against a glass of wine, pretending Diluc hadn't told him he was closing half an hour ago.
“Domestication changes an animal irreversibly,” Diluc responded with a rag in one hand and a wet glass on the other, also ignoring the fact that he was supposed to close half an hour ago.
//or; one of the many wips I have where Diluc and Kaeya simply talk about senseless shit as one does

“Apologies for asking this of you, but I need you to listen to me very closely, Amber. Can you do that?”
Amber nods diligently, leaning forward on her knees.
“I would normally do this myself, but admittedly, I am barely holding onto consciousness right now.” Kaeya groans as he props himself up on the rock, trying his best to stay upright. “I need you to stitch up my wound.”
————
In which Kaeya and Amber’s mission goes wrong. Or right, depending on who you ask.

Summary
“Every Hilichiurl that went into the Chasm, seemed to be.. I don't know, suffering? Like they were in pain, clutching their heads and all.”
Clutching their head, in pain? Exactly when Kaeya’s right eye was giving him all the trouble, lighting up with unbearable agony, at the most random times?
The said right eye twitches behind his eyepatch.
He entertains an irrational thought of, Am I turning into a Hilichurl?
(or)
Far far away in Liyue, in the echoing depths of the chasm, a device to ‘save’ the cursed Khaenri'ahns is activated; by a certain twin.
Unfortunately, for Kaeya, he happens to be Khaenri'ahn.Bookmarked by testimonials

The moment Kaeya woke up, he knew it was going to be a bad day.
He felt tired and pain pulsed behind his eyes, despite the fact that he had not indulged in alcohol the previous night, and there was an uncomfortable tickle in the back of his throat.
But he can’t go around getting sick and skipping work.It’s just a little cold, after all ; how bad could it get ?

Kaeya gets sick. Somehow, everyone but him cares about it.

Summary
Instead, he threw his arm forward, but did not open his fist to let go. When he brought his hand back down to his side, he slipped the coin into his pocket, right alongside his wish. Diluc hadn’t been paying enough attention to notice there was no splash.
He was always quite good at pretending. And so, from that day forward, his wish of freedom would sit caged; only allowed to see the shimmering light of that ever-burning sun when he would take it out to flip it idly in his hand.

Summary
‘I’m afraid I don’t actually know what “home” means.’ Kaeya said, making Klee gasp in shock.
That was not the answer she had expected, especially not from someone as smart as Kaeya. He looked sad too, which made her think perhaps something bad had happened to his home. Perhaps someone had damaged it, or kicked him out, or he didn’t know how to get back in. Despite her better judgement, she asked him as much, and hoped it wouldn’t be too painful for him to think about.
Kaeya refused to meet her eyes at that particular question, though he didn’t seem to be looking at anything in particular.
‘I guess you could say I’ve lost my way there.’ he explained, before seemingly remembering something. ‘Actually, at this point, I don’t even know if there’s any home to return to at all.’
After hearing from so many people what their homes meant to them, Klee could hardly imagine what kind of pain Kaeya must have been feeling upon having that taken away from him.
---
Or: Klee asks people what "home" means to them. Upon learning Kaeya has lost his way back to his, she shows him how to get there.
(Or: Klee has more emotional maturity than Kaeya and Diluc combined, but she's happy to help.)

Free as a bird (that doesn't know it's caged) by purplesan
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
When Master Crepus gifted the two of them their own pet birds to look after, Kaeya’s initial reaction had been to decline.
The man had a well-intended habit of bringing back gifts from his travels, but taking a pair of birds back home from his trip to Fontaine seemed a bit excessive.
He’d explained that the red and blue shade of the birds’ feathers had reminded him of them. That they always came in pairs, or sometimes even whole flocks, because they couldn’t stand being lonely. And sure, that was endearing in a way, but Kaeya knew he wasn’t cut out to look after a living, breathing thing like that.
Not that he actually got to say any of that out loud. Diluc already spoke up before him, grinning from ear to ear like a kid who’d woken up to find their birthday had come twice that year.
‘We’ll take care of them together, won’t we?’
Kaeya desperately wanted to believe him.
Maybe, just maybe, the bird would be fine in his care.
Of course, Kaeya should have known better.

“…Yeah, same here.”
