    Summary

    There was his father’s empty grave. Not the man who had left him behind in the rain, but the one who found and held him — the one who kissed his bruised knees and, in just a few words, could explain away infinity. And now he was gone, and Kaeya would never explain a single thing to him, nor kiss away the wounds that killed him. Surely, nothing was more deserving of Kaeya’s tears.

    Or:
    Two brothers meet at their father's grave and drunkenly exchange more words than they had in years.

    Summary

    Kaeya never dreamed that a simple mission of taking out a Fatui base could go so incredibly wrong.

    After an unfortunate accident, Kaeya becomes a child, slowly losing his memories of his estranged brother and home. Diluc is determined to do whatever is necessary to get his brother back, and restore the Cavalry Captain back to his former self.

    But will the Fatui's sinister plot be more than either of them or the Knights can handle?

    Summary

    Words flow out of him like a dam just broke. Thousands of them, without any actual conscious effort from Kaeya himself. Not one of them is the truth, and yet they feel so much easier to say. Kaeya's not sure why he's doing this. But if he had to guess, he supposes he would say that he's trying to get another one of those looks from Master Crepus, craves it like a dying man craves comfort.

    (And they crave it a lot, Kaeya will assure you. He's had to hold many dying men's hands because they found a child's presence more comforting, a sign things may get better.)

    He's never been a child before. He's always been Kaeya, last hope of Khaenri'ah, the tiny little savior in the body of a child, the last child of a dying nation. There was no place for him to be a child, no room for the sort of tantrum Diluc has when he has to eat greens or when his hair scratches his neck the wrong way.

    But Crepus doesn't know that, that is the magic of it. Kaeya can finally be whoever he wants to be, even if it's just pretend, even if it's only for a while.

    ~

    Or, Kaeya agonizes over his choice, and the consequences to it for everyone around him.
