Summary
It's quiet. Kaeya is alone.
His stage for tonight is a lone cliff by the edge of Stormbearer mountains and his audience consists only of the sky, the stars and the moon. Likewise, his trusted sword shall act as his only companion, which he summons forth from glitters of gold.
Two wide swings mark the start of his performance. To the tune of a melody he barely remembers, he steps forward. A dance long lost to time; The very first he ever learnt. He distantly wonders if he remains the last person on Teyvat to remember it.

Or, Kaeya dances alone on a cliff while reminiscing about his past.Series

Summary
“Can I ask you a question? It's about the time when we were kids and you tried to run away.”
Kaeya shifted in his seat, slightly surprised by the topic. “I already told you that I sneaked off to Sumeru because I thought I might find traces of my family there.”
“No, I meant the first time.”

Summary
“Mona, do the fates you read ever change?”
She looked down at her still half filled cup before replying: “No. Fate is called as such, for it cannot be changed. I told you that last time I divined for you.” She had. She had told him so many times before.
“Yes, you have.” Kaeya stared down for a moment as well. “Still, it doesn't hurt to ask. Try the chocolate before you go to sleep. I want to hear your opinion on it the next time we meet.” He gave her one last smile and left.

Kaeya's day starts with a list of names and a matching number of chocolates. It ends with him leaving Mondstadt and no one to stop him. -

Summary
How long had he been walking? And which way had he come from? He could not believe he had made such a childish mistake. The first thing he should have done was make sure he knew the way back out. He spun around trying to see if he could recognize the tree from earlier, but they all looked the same: lifeless, black and charred.
He was completely alone.

Summary
“What kind of useless door is this?”
Once again, he looked around, searching for something. Anything. Yet, he saw nothing. Just him, the door, dark water and a layer of ice.
A shiver ran down his spine and a panic rose in his throat. There was no way out.

Kaeya has a bad month, gets himself in trouble and Diluc tries to get him out of it.

Summary
Short Kaeya-centric stories with mostly fluff, some humor and bits of angst.
Originally based on the Flufftober 2025 challenge where I planned to have Kaeya interacting with very Mondstadt character but I could not complete it in time. So, I will write the stories slowly and post whenever I happen to finish one of them.

Summary
Kaveh has achieved so much today, it should be fine to do this much for himself. It should be fine to enjoy this much. There is absolutely nothing that Al-Haitham could possibly do to ruin this day!
Of course, this is when Al-Haitham chooses to walk in covered in blood.
Kaveh has enough troubles on his plate even without dealing with his confusing relationship with and unfortunately lingering feelings for his stubborn, infuriating roommate. But when a strange conspiracy begins closing in on Al-Haitham and threatening the precarious balance of their daily lives, Kaveh finds himself having to reevaluate the nature of their relationship and reckon with the ghosts of the past.
-----
There’s never really a good time, way, or reason to tell Kaveh about his long-lived, amoral, exiled, criminal ex-partner — who, Al-Haitham will note, was not any of those things at the time they were involved.
However, there is definitely a worst way for Kaveh to find out.
