Welcome! I'm Kira (AO3: GothicKira) and I write a concerning amount of Kaeya whump, hurt/comfort, angst, family drama, and Ragbros reconciliation. If you enjoy Kaeya suffering and Diluc having emotional problems about it, you've come to the right place.

📌 A couple quick notes:

- I do not ship Kaeya and Diluc. I view and write them as brothers.

- Please do not use, repost, scrape, or feed my fanfiction into AI models, databases, or training tools.

📚 Fanfictions (as of June 2026)

Shadows and Lies

Kaeya is kidnapped and tortured by agents of Khaenri’ah but Kaeya holds onto hope that Diluc will save him.

The Price of Ice

To save Mondstadt as they are getting overrun Kaeya lets out a huge amount of cryo. This does not come without cost. What happens when someone overuses their vision?

Because It Was You

During a battle near Mondstadt, Kaeya saves Diluc by taking a fatal blow meant for him, leaving him gravely wounded. Diluc, panicked and desperate, rushes him to the Cathedral, where Barbara and Jean fight to keep him alive.

Bare Minimum

On the anniversary of their father’s death, buried emotions erupt between Kaeya and Diluc, leading to a night of conflict, confession, and quiet reconciliation.

Echoes of Khaenri’ah

When Kaeya collapses from a mysterious, agonizing illness tied to his Khaenri’ahn blood, long-buried secrets resurface. With his condition worsening and the truth spreading to Jean and Albedo, a quiet mission is set in motion—to uncover what happened to Kaeya.

Sins of the Blood

When Kaeya collapses from a sudden poisoning during a Knights of Favonius meeting, chaos erupts in Mondstadt. As the city scrambles to uncover the truth, tensions rise, old wounds resurface, and buried secrets begin to stir.

A Frozen Blade

A different way the night Kaeya told Diluc his secret could have gone. What if Diluc did something he’d regret? What if there was no years of not talking?

What We Buried in Summer

Kaeya goes missing during a surge in Abyss activity, and Jean turns to the last person she’d ever expect to help: Diluc. Forced to work together, Diluc and Jean uncover the truth behind Kaeya’s disappearance—and in the aftermath, long-buried secrets resurface. Near death, Kaeya is given a choice. Survival may mean healing not just his wounds, but the bond with the brother he thought he’d lost forever.

Held Together by Nostalgia

Kaeya’s used to being sick—and used to being alone when it happens. But when a brutal fever leaves him collapsing on patrol, the last person he expects to catch him is Diluc. What starts with a rescue turns into something neither of them were ready for: long-buried feelings, awkward confessions, and a drunken night of toy knights.

By Blood, By Bond

When Kaeya’s darkest secret is exposed, he’s branded a traitor and left for dead by the very city he swore to protect.

The Weight He Carries

A mission gone wrong. New recruits dead. And Kaeya, their captain, returns to Mondstadt bloodied and silent—haunted by the weight of every life he couldn’t save.

While the city cheers his name, Kaeya spirals alone, burying pain behind paperwork and half-healed wounds. Until the guilt festers—body and mind—and he’s found collapsed on his living room floor.

Wings of the Abyss

When a mission investigating an Abyssal anomaly in Wolvendom goes horribly wrong, Kaeya vanishes—presumed dead after a brutal encounter with a mysterious creature. A funeral is held. Mondstadt mourns. Diluc grieves in silence, haunted by guilt and words left unsaid.

What Was Forgotten

A blow to the head leaves Kaeya with missing memories—and a heart full of questions. Why doesn’t he live at the winery? Why does Diluc look at him like that? And where is their father?

It’s Symbolic

When the Abyss brings war to Mondstadt’s doorstep, Kaeya sacrifices himself to save Klee—leaving Diluc to pick up the pieces. As the city smolders and old scars reopen, the brothers are forced to face their shared past and the fragile bond they thought was beyond repair. In the aftermath, amidst ash and ruin, they begin to rebuild—brick by brick, heart by heart.

A God’s Wrath, A Brother’s Mercy

A peaceful day in Mondstadt is shattered when a forgotten god returns with vengeance in his wake. In the chaos, Kaeya makes a desperate stand to protect his city—alone. But when the dust settles, it’s not just the city left in ruins, but long-buried wounds between brothers. As Kaeya clings to life, Diluc is forced to confront the one thing he thought he’d buried forever: how much he still cares.

Sorry, Forgiven

A different way their fight could have ended all those years ago.

Kaeya’s confession shatters everything. Diluc’s rage ignites before the truth can take root—until blood on his hands forces him to see what he’s done. What follows is pain, regret, and the slow, fragile work of forgiveness between two broken brothers.

Of Knights, Wounds, and Wine-Stained Forgiveness

What was supposed to be a simple mission turns into a nightmare when Kaeya and Diluc are trapped in a collapsed cave—surrounded, injured, and without a way out. Kaeya takes a hit meant for Diluc and tries to hide the wound, but with each passing hour, the fever climbs and their chances of escape dwindle. With no one else coming and Kaeya growing weaker by the minute, Diluc is left to keep them both alive in the dark.

Bitter Aftertaste

A strange theft leads Kaeya and Diluc to investigate a break-in on the outskirts of Springvale. What should’ve been a quick mission turns into something far more sinister when they’re captured, and used as leverage in a ploy to steal the winery.

The Kingdom I Carry, The Brother I Chose

The abyss took hold, and Kaeya let it.

Because it was easier to be a weapon than a brother.

Corrupted, consumed, and lost to the very blood that made him — he almost kills the one person who ever stayed. Now the truth is out, and Kaeya must face what’s left of his home, his family… and himself.

Veins of the Abyss

A simple patrol leaves Kaeya with nothing more than a scratch—or so he thinks. But when the wound festers with abyssal corruption, his pride drives him to hide it until it nearly kills him.

The Snow Will Remember Us

A routine patrol in Dragonspine turns into a nightmare when Kaeya and Diluc are ambushed, stripped of their Visions, and caught in an avalanche. With Kaeya gravely injured and the brothers forced to confront old wounds, survival becomes as much about mending what’s broken between them as it is about braving the mountain’s cold.

Crybaby

When Kaeya falls victim to a Fatui ambush in the middle of a blizzard, Diluc must face the one thing he’s always run from: losing his brother. Between fevered apologies and half-frozen hands, old wounds begin to thaw—and maybe, just maybe, the storm will finally pass.

Fragile Shell

After being thrown into the freezing sea at Dragonspine, Kaeya barely survives. Diluc drags him back from the brink, forcing the brothers to face fear, grief, and the truth that they still care—far more than either will admit.

Forever, Even

A Fatui attack at Dawn Winery leaves Kaeya gravely wounded and forces Diluc to confront the consequences of his past. As Kaeya recovers in the home they once shared, years of resentment, guilt, and unspoken longing surface, and both must decide whether reconciliation is still possible.

I’m Not Leaving This Time

Kaeya pushes things too far in a drunken confrontation at Angel’s Share, provoking Diluc into a violent loss of control that leaves Kaeya seriously injured and Diluc arrested by the Knights of Favonius. Both are forced into isolation—Kaeya recovering in the Cathedral under Jean’s supervision, and Diluc detained in the Knights’ headquarters, drowning in guilt and unable to escape the memory of what he did.

Kaeya Suffering: The Deluxe Compilation

A growing collection of Kaeya whump one-shots—each chapter its own standalone story filled with hurt/comfort, angst, emotional gut-punches, and the occasional healing moment.
