In Which Albedo Teaches The Twins The Fuck Word Because Of Course This Is How I Introduce My Weird Nonsense

In which Albedo teaches the twins the fuck word because of course this is how I introduce my weird nonsense AU fanfic ideas (that never get finished). This one also includes:

-Convoluted plot revolving around 1.) the traveler introducing them and then dipping out, which results in Diluc having a stupid crush on Zhongli, and 2.) Venti swiping a bottle of a special wine that Diluc’s dad made with him in mind, then giving it to Zhongli, who loves it and then proceeds to assign himself the role of pen pal

-Despite being an accidental chaotic wingman, Venti is a good friend

-Very sweet fluff and philosophical discussions, where Zhongli dumps several paragraphs’ worth of information and Diluc says at most two sentences at a time

-Their relationship is kept mostly secret but of course Kaeya figures it out

-Diluc having to now live with the fact that he knocked up the geo archon and they’re having dragon babies, also some bullshitted dragon biology stuff

-Said archon also happens to be Durin’s biological parent (it’s complicated and depressing), and in a roundabout way kinda sees Albedo as a son because he was nice to him once haha never mind I’ve decided Albedo is his son too (it’s explained with alchemy)

And here is the concept sketch that kickstarted this whole mess:

Because of course their names are Guizhong and Crepus. I am not creative and they would probably be sentimental like that

Warrior apprentice with the prefix Apple: exists

Me: Your warrior name will be... Applebottomjeans.

all hail Dilucrab

Robinswoop would be the first of Mallowcloud’s family to introduce himself to Sootear. He’s just a very friendly guy. He is also very small as he takes after Ryestar. I personally think that Robin’s positive reputation would make him the best candidate for deputy to the more stoic Snowstar in the future.

Also, an accurate depiction of Sootear’s reaction to meeting Hallowpaw for the first time.

Next up will be some stuff about Creekpaw’s family. Oakclaw in particular had some personality development, but not necessarily the good kind...

This is Wilder, he is relevant to my Cove and Quarry thing. I will leave it intentionally vague as to how for the time being, however, so make your guesses.
