    Summary

    “His visage was that of a pale-skinned middle aged(?) man. Thick, red hair falling down his back and shoulders, and a scratchy, once well kept beard, split only by glowing red and purple lines edged into his skin like cracks in a porcelain cup.

    Two thoughts popped into his head at once.

    What happened to me?

    This isn’t my face.

    In which Crepus finds himself with a new chance of life, though with a twist, and the two brothers have to grapple with the revival of their father on top of their fragile relationship.

    Summary

    Crepus didn’t know how long he had been there, floating aimlessly in the inky black abyss. The only thing he could see was his own limbs. He didn’t need to breathe here, didn’t need to hear, didn’t need to smell. All he had known for so long was this strange place that seemed to defy all laws that Teyvat had.

    The last thing he remembered was using his Delusion against Ursa to protect his son. He felt the Delusion’s power course through his body, driving Ursa away. Then…. Nothing, like he had passed out or worse from using it.

    ~~~~~

    Or Crepus comes back, sees what's happening to his family, and is determined to fix it. Even if it kills him again.

    Summary

    Diluc had always resembled Master Crepus in a number of ways.

    From his fiery red hair to the way in which he carried himself, he was the spitting image of his father. It was only natural with him being his son, but Kaeya couldn’t help but notice each and every uncanny similarity after Crepus’ passing especially.

    When Kaeya wanted to be particularly cruel, he liked to purposely remind him of the resemblance.

    ---

    Even the way in which Kaeya demanded respect from people resembled their father in a way. He too could turn things around in his favour with minimal effort, all while making the other party believe they were the ones getting the better deal.

    Kaeya demanded respect because people both liked and feared him in equal measure.

    Diluc demanded respect mostly because people just feared him.

    Between the two of them, that meant Kaeya’s way of doing things resembled their father much, much more, though Diluc wondered if Kaeya was even aware of these similarities.

    Not that he was about to point them out to him.

    ---

    Or: Diluc and Kaeya both resemble their father in certain ways. Sometimes it hurts, and sometimes it doesn't.

    Summary

    In vino veritas... meaning, 'there is truth in wine'. While that may be true for those under the influence of it, it certainly didn't extent to the ones making it. Diluc has survived all this time on his own. Why should now be any different? He doesn't need help. He shouldn't need help.
    ...Those two things aren't the same, are they?
    *
    Diluc's Delusion usage starts taking its toll. One side effect he wasn't expecting was flashbacks to his childhood.
