"They do not pine over passionate, drunken confession or poems sang to make a sweet maiden blush. There were no loud gestures worth millions of moras because there was no grand meaning to the way they succumbed to one another. But there is admiration and absolute loyalty, proven from time to time, not just to each other but to their own virtues at their lowest. It's in the contemplative, well-meaning words they use to speak of the other behind their backs and quiet smiles reserved for each other like a sacred language."
It's a rather dull way to fall in love. No, really.
In this fic (and my headcanon), Diluc is in his early thirties while Jean is in her late twenties; it just makes more sense to me given their lore and career height.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
this work is deleted, because I'm rewriting it. I really hope I can eventually write it into the jealuc fic I actually have in mind. i know that it's not a popular fic nor am i a popular author, but when i do have it ready to be published, I'll make sure to leave the link here and so this page will not be deleted ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ ) until then, have a great day
to be perfectly honest this doesn't come out exactly the way i planned it in my head. but i did my best, and i think it's tolerable enough to be published. I'll return to revise it from time to time though, because I'm not generally satisfied with it.
still, i hope i get to share this with other jealuc shippers with similar headcanon dynamic to mine. so if any of you reading this found other jealuc fic with similar dynamic, where they're just two boring adults pining hard. please leave the links on the comment because I'm starving (｡•́︿•̀｡)
