Summary
“What do you want from me? Where are you taking me?” Kaveh hissed through gritted teeth, struggling against the grip. “I just told you, I’m a mere architect!”
Childe gave a light huff, lips curling into an infuriatingly innocent smile. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
Kaveh’s face was drained of color. There was no escape. No room to bargain. He was at their mercy.
“Come on, you don’t have to look at me like that,” Childe added casually, waving a dismissive hand. “I just thought of a perfect way for you to repay me.”

Summary
“I don't think you're one of my strays,” the man says. Kaeya startles a little at the rasp of his voice, lurching backwards only to remember where he is a second later, leaning back in with an arm over the man’s throat to overcompensate. He takes a little satisfaction in the way the man chokes at the added pressure. He’s disgruntled when the stranger continues to grin, and Kaeya gets the sudden impression that the choking noise was simply to satisfy him and not because the man felt any threat.
“I'm not a stray,” he retorts hotly, remembering that the man had insulted him only moments prior.
“Are you not?” The man speaks easily, only confirming Kaeya's suspicions that the wheeze was simply to play into the role of a submissive captive, and not because the man’s airways were actually at risk of harm.

The Seedling Years. by Horrifying_Forest_Entity

Summary
"The Seedlings Years": Kaeya is small, secretive, and sharp — and Crepus sees right through him. But instead of demanding loyalty, he offers safety. As Kaeya adjusts to a life in the warmth of the Dawn Winery, he and Diluc slowly grow from awkward strangers into something like brothers. This story follows their childhood, Crepus’s struggle to protect both his sons, and the first cracks in the walls Kaeya has built around his heart.
"A Star Planted in Red Earth": When Crepus Ragnvindr finds a strange, shivering boy in the rain, he quickly realizes this child is no ordinary orphan — he's a remnant of Khaenri'ah. But instead of turning Kaeya away or using him as a tool, Crepus makes a choice that will alter all their fates: he takes the boy in as his own.
This series reimagines what might have happened if Crepus had known Kaeya's origins from the start — and lived. From Kaeya’s first days at the winery, growing up beside Diluc as brothers, to their later years as knights of Favonius uncovering corruption in Mondstadt, this is a story of found family, trust hard-earned, and the slow, difficult healing of a boy raised in shadows.Series
