    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?

    That was... wow. What a journey. Really long, but really good.

    And from a meta perspective, it's really fascinating to see what people did with the scattered bits of genshin lore we had back then

    Summary

    Oikawa Tooru really didn’t know how he ended up with a baby.
    Well, that wasn’t quite right.
    He knew exactly how all this had happened, he was just having a hard time wrapping his mind around the idea - the grand, grand idea of utmost responsibility - with the kid crying so goddamn loudly.

    It's the aftermath of a rebellion, and Oikawa is stuck in a snowstorm with the sole surviving heir and a warrior who may or may not be part of a cult.
