Ten Lives Without You

Summary:

There are questions that don't have answers, just as there are questions that do.

Diluc asked Kaeya a question once. A decade later, Kaeya answers.


Alternatively: A take on "do you think we're together in every universe?" with Kaeya and Diluc—except there's only one universe where they are...and ten others where they're not.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

It’s an innocent question, asked over a decade ago that feels like a lifetime now. Crouched among grapevines and exchanging giggled whispers, Diluc looks Kaeya in the eye and asks him. Do you think we’re brothers in every universe? Kaeya never answers.
