Frankenweenie Headcannons, Theories, and Ideas
This is just a list of the theories, headcannons, and ideas I came up with for Tim Burton's Frankenweenie. I might add more later on, so watch out
-When he was six years old, Victor Frankenstein got Sparky as a small puppy from the local pet shop
-Elsa got Persephone as a gift for her seventh birthday
-Victor’s full name is Victor Charles Frankenstein
-Victor is strongly not fond of sports, especially baseball. But he does love to play fetch with Sparky and ride his bike
-Victor secretly has a crush on Elsa, but he’s too nervous to say anything. But he wouldn’t mind just being friends with her
-Even though he doesn’t get along too well with Toshiaki and Nassor very well, Victor doesn’t mind Bob (who was one of the “cool kids”) being nice to him
-Victor used to have a pen pal in London named Shamus Holmes. They wrote to each other back and forth almost every week, until Victor reached college. That was when the letters from Shamus stopped coming
-Victor isn’t allergic to anything, but he does get nauseous around peaches for some reason
-When he grows up, Victor either wants to become a scientist, a vet, or a movie director… but he can’t decide
-Victor likes to watch both horror and sci-fi films. His favorites are Karloff’s “Frankenstein”, “The Fly”, “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms”, “Behemoth the Sea Monster”, and “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers”
-The Monday after Dutch Day, Victor was told to stay after school for baseball practice, but when he hit the ball and ran around the diamond, he broke his arm and got a black eye and he was suspended from the baseball team… which he thought was the best day ever
-Victor isn’t particularly fond of his young cousin, Vincent Malloy. He’s often annoyed by Vincent's slightly obsessive mannerisms and all of his Vincent Price talk and Vincent's mother blames Victor for introducing her son to scary movies in the first place
-Victor was born on August 31st, 1957
-Elsa’s full name is Elsa Anais Van Helsing

They sometimes take Elsa with them when they have to go out of the town, state, or even country. But most often, she stays behind because of school and just wants to be at home and spend time with Victor
-Mayor Bergermeister is in fact the older brother of Lydia by four years. Like most siblings, they do love each other but sometimes can’t stand each other
-Lydia is one of the few people and things that actually scares Mr. Bergermeister, despite the fact that that she’s his little sister.

-By the time Ivan was 18 years old, he immigrated to the United States and eventually landed a job as a university professor teaching quantum mechanics. He met with various famous scientists in his career
-Ivan tends to be a bit dramatic in his teachings. He briefly took acting classes in his youth, but he wanted to focus more on being a scientist
-During one of his science lectures, Ivan met a woman by the name of Vanessa. They quickly fell in love, got married, and had a son named Dirk. Unfortunately when Dirk was about 9 years old, Vanessa passed away because of cancer. Ivan was heartbroken and he and Dirk missed her terribly. When Dirk was 10, Ivan sent his son to a private boarding school in another part of the state. But when the boy turned 14, he went back to public school
-Dirk grew up and met a woman named Clarice. They got married and had a daughter named Ingrid (age 13). But Clarice died of a terrible sickness when Ingrid was about 3 or 4, then Dirk died in a car crash when Ingrid was about 7. That was when Mr. Rzykruski took his granddaughter in and raised her as his own
-The gym teacher’s full name is Coach Darla Gladys Barnes
-Bob’s mom’s full name is Barbara Deborah Ferguson Hill
-Vincent Malloy’s full name is Vincent Sebastian Malloy
-When Vincent grew up, he met a woman named Marilynn, they got married and had a daughter named Winona (age 7). But Marilynn got into a bad car accident and passed away, leaving Vincent to raise his daughter on his own
-The invisible fish Victor reanimated didn't die. In fact, the fish used its invisibility powers to slip out of the glass jar Edgar was keeping it in and disappeared into the sewer, rumored to still be there
-The reason that New Holland has so many lightning storms is part of an old town legend. Centuries ago when the first settlers built New Holland, there was a young witch by the name of Loretta Thistletwing and while she was a good witch, she kept her true nature a secret from the superstitious townsfolk. Unfortunately, one fateful night, Loretta accidentally caused her powers to be revealed and the townsfolk formed an angry mob to have her killed. However, her beloved familiar black cat, Midnight, heard of the danger and tried to defend his mistress, only to get killed in the process. Outraged by the loss of her beloved pet, Loretta unleashed a curse upon the town right before they burned her at the stake, saying that the town would be cursed with perpetual thunderstorms and any lightning that hit a deceased pet would bring it back to life, unleashing its fury upon the town. This is why the lightning brings dead pets back. But Sparky is the only good one to be reanimated because Victor loved him so much
-Susan and her two sisters are the three granddaughters of Victor Van Dort and Victoria Everglot. Susan’s son and only child, Victor, was named after his great-grandfather who passed away before his birth
-In the past, New Holland had experienced horrible monster attacks and many of them were based on famous movie monsters. There was a mutated bulldog made out of slime (based on the Blob), a half lizard/fly (based on the Fly), a gigantic pet capuchin monkey (based on King Kong), and even a phantom like cat (based on the Phantom of the Opera). Of course, the current townsfolk never believed these supposed stories until the Dutch Day incident
-Legend has it that the curse Loretta put on the town could only be broken when a pet that had been deeply loved by its owner was brought back peaceful and the townsfolk came together to save it should it die again. This ultimately ended up happening by the end of the movie and the curse was unwittingly broken
This is all I've got so far, but feel free to tell me what you think and tell me which one is your favorite

Papa the falcon
A Genshin Impact parody of Pokemon 3: The movie
Starring (loosely equivalent to):
Diluc as Molly
Master Crepus as Papa
Falcon as Entei
Kaeya as Delia
Disclaimer: This storyline was curated and fanfic made based on my understanding and own headcannons of things from both the Pokemon movie and Genshin Impact that were never confirmed in canon. 
The main character is also Kaeya, though it had quite a bit of emphasis on Diluc, this is a Kaeya-fic and a lot of it is in his point of view.
Prologue
Diluc lay in bed as he and his father looked through an expansive picture book. This book was about the divine beings of the world, immortal creatures who watched over Teyvat. 
“This section shows the archons. Of course, it is a bit old so the ones we see are the original Seven from all those years ago.”
“Woah!” Diluc cried, “Murata looks scary.” 
Crepus laughed, “Indeed she does. But this is a Monstadt book so maybe the illustrator was biased.”
They flipped through the pages, where flashes of sea serpents and old gods, befallen in the archon wars went by, DIluc being more and more interested. 
“What’s this one called?” Diluc asked, pointing to one that sprouted pristine but deadly crystals all over the battlefield. 
“I don’t know, son. There are many things we don’t know about the archon wars, this book is only speculation.”
As the page flipped to Diluc’s favourite section, on the four winds and most importantly, Lady Vanessa, the Falcon of the West. Diluc’s eyes lit up.
“Lady Vanessa!” Diluc ecstatically pointed to the drawing, as though his papa didn’t already have a knowing smile and gazed down at him with utter fondness. “You know papa, you’re a lot like Lady Vanessa.”
“Oh am I?” Crepus asked with a chuckle, “That is praise of the highest order.” Diluc giggled as Crepus picked him up, “Well, the best part of being a falcon, is that you can fly!” With the small child on his back, Crepus stuck him arms out both sides and ‘flew’ his son around the room, throwing him into the air and catching him with utmost dramaticsm. 
A knock came at the door. 
The two paused, Master Crepus went over to answer it, while Diluc had depressed into himself.
“Master Crepus, Elliot is here to see you.” With a bow, their butler stood aside and another man came into view.
“We have a lead, we found an entrance into the Thousand Winds Temple.” Crepus looked back at his son with a pained look in his eyes, Diluc already knew what was about to happen.
“I have to go, son.”
“But when will you get back, papa?” Diluc asked, as Master Crepus picked up the child and placed him in bed, tucking him in as apple-tucked as he could.
“As soon as I can. Be good for me okay?”
Diluc watched as his papa kissed him goodnight, walked towards the doorway, turned off the lights and closed the door. 
Chapter 1 - Papa
Diluc watched from his window out of the Dawn Winery, as a carriage pulled up into the driveway. As his small legs pitter-pattered down the steps he raced out into the doorway.
“Papa!” He yelled, coming to a stop when the carriage door opened and Elliot gave him a sympathetic look. “Where’s Papa?” Diluc demanded, a bit desperately.
“I’m sorry Diluc.”
Diluc sat with his back on the railing, listening to the adults talk downstairs. They talked about how sad it was that they couldn’t even retrieve the body and that poor Master Diluc was now completely alone.
Diluc heard everything. He had a handle on some of the things his papa was researching, ancient gods in ruins with mechanisms too complicated to understand, except Papa was able to understand it. 
As night fell and Diluc found himself unable to sleep, he found himself going over to his dad’s notebook and flipping through the pages.
“Where are you papa?” Diluc muttered to himself, determined not to cry. “What happened?”
Scanning through the scribbled handwriting, he stumbled upon a page with copied texts, ancient ones. He had learned some ancient writing out of curiosity, which his dad was more than happy to teach, and when turning to the next page a green slip of paper with a curious shape slipped out. The paper also had ancient words on it, and Diluc supposed it was a sigil of sorts. 
Diluc took out a pencil and paper out of the notebook, he began copying the sigil. 
“I want papa back. And mama. I want my family back.” Diluc felt tears roll down his cheek, plopping onto the pages with his own little writing. 
The sigil started glowing, with its strokes lighting in a gold light and basking the room in a bright white. 
Suddenly, there was a strange creature that poured out of the sigil, rising above the small child who was looking up in wonder. 
“I know you! You’re a god, aren’t you?” Diluc watched as the large, golden entity swirled around him, assessing the small child. “You resided over geo, and can make entire crystalline structures right?”
The creature continued assessing the child, seeming to fill to occupy the large space that was the main hall of the winery with a dark, golden fog that seemed to get heavier and thicker by the second.
Diluc considered something, then asked in a more ‘dominant’ voice, “You’re powerful right? I want my papa. Can you do that?”
The entity grumbled. Diluc was unsure of whether it had a face, but amidst the now darkening room, Diluc saw a flash of light, and a large falcon swooped through the room, landing on his waiting arm. 
“Papa?” Diluc had shiny eyes and a hopeful face. “Papa! It’s really you!”
“Papa?” Asked the falcon in a low, grumbling voice.
“Yeah, you’re my papa!”
The falcon looked down at the red-haired boy, whose long hair currently fell down freely around his shoulders and whose eyes looked at him with the happiest expression a few-second old falcon had seen.
“If that is what you wish.”
The floor then gilded with a crystal lacquer, spreading out from where Diluc was at an alarming pace to reach the walls and crystallising in large, translucent chunks as they grew upwards. 
Diluc heard a thump, then another, then another as his butler and other staff burst through the door, shocked by seeing their young master sitting on the ground with a large, hostile ancient being swirling around.
“Everything’s fine Butler, I have papa with me. You can go.”
The butler was highly concerned by this point, “Master Diluc, your father is dead.”
Diluc’s eyes filled with tears, “I have papa with me, you can leave.”
“Master Diluc-” “LEAVE!” Diluc shrieked, and as if the entity was attached to him, the thing howled in the faces of the staff, blowing them right out the door then crystalling the door shut. 
The maids tripped over their nightgowns and the winery staff stumbled as they hurried out of the mansion as fast as they could, with the crystals nipping at their feet. Once outside in the open air, they still could not stop as the crystalline structure seemed to engulf the building’s outside as well, covering the windwheel asters and eternalising them, freezing their movement making them look like carved, delicate figurines. The expansion did not stop there, covering the grapes that decorated the outside and creating such a bubble around the place that one could only imagine how much space the actual mansion occupied.
Diluc, in the meantime, had brought his papa to his room, where he laughed and giggled at the falcon’s swoops and swirls in the skies. 
“It’s a shame you’re so small. I’d love to ride on your back as you fly.”
The falcon flapped in mid-air, staring down at Diluc’s face. “If that is what you wish.”
The falcon then started growing in size, until it became big enough for Diluc to happily jump onto its back and fly around his large room, with squeals of glee and happiness. 
Diluc leaned his head onto the falcon’s feathered back, “I love you papa, I want this to last forever.”
Chapter 2 - What do we do?
“You said what was surrounding the child?” Elliot was a bit stressed. Afterall, if his thoughts were correct then the young boy might have just summoned one of the most destructive gods of the archon wars.
“Calm, Elliot, what is that being?” Asked the Grand Master in his low voice. 
“Well, it is a divine being whose wrath the ancient god of Sumeru had incurred. It had power over the element geo, as obvious from the crystals growing around the winery. Though not much info remains on them, the god is said to grow powerful on the imagination, and used the fears of the people to create their greatest nightmares.”
“Imagination? That is concerning.” The others looked over at the Grand Master, not understanding his statement.
“What do you mean, Grand Master?”
“Well, whose imagination is stronger or more powerful than that of a child?” The room went quiet, as this revelation settled.
“What are we to do?”
---
With shovels and visions in hand they smashed through the crystals, destroying the pristine flowers and making a pathway towards the winery.
“What are they doing?” Asked young Diluc, watching from his window. They crushed the pretty space that the mysterious god had made for him, and he felt tears bubble up into his eyes. “Leave us alone!” He yelled.
Just the wish was the command of the entity, for the shovels were snatched up by the crystals, as though conscious, and the tendrils of geo grew more and more hostile, making the people fear for their lives, running in the opposite direction. The geo crystals grew to cover the damage but not quite replacing it, for, to repair required much more precise power.
The Favonius knights huffed, scared from nearly losing their lives, reporting to the Grand Master immediately.
“This is bad, this is oh so very bad. I believe that young Master Diluc had only awakened but a part of the being, for it was destroyed many millenia back, but it seems that even the mere fragment is powerful yet.” Elliot fretted.
“Could we ask Sumeru for help?” Asked another high-ranking officer. “Sumeru’s god is the youngest out of everyone, the war we are referencing is not one that the country would be able to help us with. No. If I am to understand correctly,” the Grand Master had stood up and walked towards the window, where the crystals looked far away but painfully visible. “The entity seems to follow the will of young Master Diluc, in which case the solution is clear, though we only have one chance.” The Grand Master looked up, eyes dark, “We must convince the young master himself.”
Chapter 3 - Endless crystal
Kaeya felt his heart thumping in his chest, he never liked tight spaces and yet, here he was. The Ragnvindr butler was leading him through a secret passage, a well of sorts into the manor. The running water seemed to be untouched by the crystals, and with some effort, the door to the cellar burst open. 
“Now Kaeya, you know what you have to do?” The butler asked, glancing at the open door as if it would screw shut instantly, which it could. 
Kaeya nodded his head, his face trying not to betray his nervousness. He had memorised the floor plan and knew how to get to the hall and to Diluc’s room, whichever he might be in. 
“Good.” The butler hesitated slightly as Kaeya stepped through into the cellar, this child was the same age as Master Diluc, it was hard not to feel sympathy, “Good luck.” He said eventually. 
Kaeya heard the door close behind him, and the dreaded feeling of being alone hit him. The room was almost pitch black, which made Kaeya feel as uneasy as possible. The floor felt hard and smooth, undoubtedly lined with crystal. His slow and careful steps trod across to where he was told the door was.
Bump.
He hit something. 
Kaeya carefully put his arms over and around where the object was, it was also crystal covered so it could range from a bottle with a lot of crystal surrounding it to a wooden box to a wine barrel. Stepping around it as carefully as he could, a thought crossed his mind that his direction might have gotten mixed up and he could not be going in the direction of the door anymore, and might be stuck here forever. Gulping an anxious lump down his throat he kept moving slowly and steadily.
Bump.
Kaeya slowly felt along this object. It was taller than him, and very wide. Could it be the door? Kaeya slowly took the knife out of his pocket and tried to find a crystal that was more doorknob-like than the rest. 
Chink. Chink. Chink. 
Kaeya worked away at the crystal, hating how the echoes carried in the small, shrinking room that seemed to close in on him the longer he tried to sense it. 
Kaeya was getting desperate, he could feel the engraved metal of the door handle, but the majority was sewn shut. He was now not so worried about the noise he was making, slamming his tiny body into the door. The crystal cracked, worn by his chinks from his knife, and slowly, it was budging. 
When the first crack of light shone through, Kaeya felt as though he could keep going. Not like he had a choice. He continued slamming his body into the door, his left side now, he was sure his right side was completely bruised. When it got to a state that the door was open just enough for Kaeya to just squeeze through, Kaeya collapsed onto the floor and breathed heavily. 
His heart felt like they were going to pound out of his chest, closing his eye as he tried to regain composure and his bearings. He looked around. He seemed to be in the main hallway, and if that was so, then those stairs led to Diluc’s bedroom. Kaeya froze, the hallway seemed to host a swirling vortex, a large whirl of some muttering entity. With his eye widening, he realised that this must be the powerful being that the adults warned him about. Though he knew nothing about the being, he understood that it could kill him easily, though that held true for most people and things he met.
After calming down again, Kaeya made his way up, carefully walking up the slippery stairs to where Diluc’s bedroom was, the entity seemed not to notice him at all. When he made it, Kaeya felt a wave of nausea wash over him as he realised that Diluc’s bedroom door too, had crystals gluing it shut. 
Kaeya straightened up, if he had not been picked up by the Grand Master, then he would have died. With that logic, he was already living on borrowed time. Kaeya brought one hand up to the crystal and knocked.
Chapter 4 - Brother
Diluc looked up. There was someone knocking on the door. He slipped off of papa and walked over to it.
“Do you wish to get rid of him?” Asked the falcon.
Diluc stormed angrily towards the door.
“Who is it?” He asked angrily.
Kaeya, nursing his bruised knuckles, bit his lip.
“It’s Kaeya.” A small voice came. Diluc’s forehead scrunched in confusion. 
“I don’t know a Kaeya.” Diluc replied.
“How do you know? You’ve not seen me yet.” Diluc considered this, then turned to ‘Papa’.
“Papa, I wish to let him in.”
Kaeya felt confusion, who was this ‘Papa’? Wasn’t Diluc’s dad dead? And who was this strange man inside that he was talking to? Before he could address any of these questions, the crystals at the door melted away and the door swung open, 
Diluc and Kaeya locked eyes. Being about the same height, the two boys stared at each other with the same wonder and curiosity.
Diluc gave Kaeya a once-over. “Hello Kaeya.”
“Hi.” Replied Kaeya, with a small smile. “I heard you got your dad back.”
“Yeah!” Diluc ran over to the alarmingly large falcon sitting in the middle of the room. “This is my papa.”
Kaeya cautiously took a step inside the room. “He’s a really cool papa.”
“Isn’t he?” Diluc looked up at the falcon with bright eyes, Kaeya watched very closely.
“If he’s your papa, then I’m your brother.” Kaeya said, wondering if he was too bold.
Diluc paused, scrutinising him. “But you don’t look anything like me.”
Kaeya gestured to the falcon, “And papa is a falcon.”
Diluc considered this, then beamed. “Yes! You are my brother.” Diluc came over to Kaeya and took him by the hands, dragging him over to the bed. “There is soooooo much you need to learn, afterall, the Ragnvindr name is an important one.” Kaeya smiled in relief.
The two boys sat on Diluc’s bed, leaning on the falcon as though it was a pillow. As Diluc flipped through the picture book with Kaeya staring in awe, Diluc explained all about the legendary divinity shown in it. 
“The anemo archon, lord Barbatos, who presides over Monstadt, with his trusted four winds who together, ensures the country is safe and happy.” Read Diluc. Kaeya stared at the pictures, with characters of nobility and power. 
“This one’s papa.” Kaeya said, pointing at the falcon. 
“No, it says here that this is Lady Vanessa, who led the rebellion against the aristocracy and was the hero of Monstadt. Papa is just another falcon.”
Kaeya ‘oohed’ and pointed at the words next to the wolf, “What does this say?”
“This says ‘Wolf of the North, otherwise known as Boreas or Andrius’. Do you not know how to read?” Suddenly, Kaeya became very self-conscious. 
“No. Most children our age don’t know how to read. You’re special because you got to learn so young.” Diluc stared at him, Kaeya gave a look of sincerity.
“Well you should learn how to read. Afterall, you’re my brother. So learning these things are important. Right papa?” The falcon gave a sagely look and nodded.
“Papa doesn’t speak very much, does he.”
“Falcon’s don’t speak very much, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t saying anything.” Diluc leaned over to hug the falcon, “Right now he’s saying, ‘I’m not going anywhere. I love you two.’” Kaeya felt a lump in his throat.
“Really?” Kaeya asked, looking towards the falcon with unease. Diluc pulled Kaeya into the hug and Kaeya felt the warm body of the falcon press into his.
“Of course!”
Kaeya closed his eye as he sank into the hug. He could see why Diluc would want this. He really did.
Chapter 5 - The eye of the storm
An entire day had passed, the crystals were growing to cover an even larger portion of Monstadt and the Grand Master was concerned. There were several things that could have happened: Kaeya could have been rejected by Diluc, Kaeya could have not managed to get to Diluc to begin with, Kaeya could have offended Diluc, or Kaeya was still working on it. He sighed, for the fate of the country to ride on the back of such a young child was a huge risk, but one that they had to take.
Kaeya, who was teaching Diluc how to braid hair, was considering what his next step should be. He had succeeded in bonding with Diluc and establishing his place in this ‘family’ and next he should work on removing that entity. So far, a few things seemed clear:
Diluc knew that Kaeya wasn’t actually his brother and the falcon wasn’t actually his papa. But considering the fact that there have been people who could turn into falcons that is taken as truth in Monstadtian folklore, Diluc might consider it a possibility that this is actually his papa.
“Do you miss papa Diluc?” Kaeya asked, as the two were half-asleep in the bed.
“So much.” Diluc replied. 
‘Papa’ has a warm body uses the term ‘if that is what you wish’ several times. Diluc is then able to order him around and even the crystals around based on that.
“What’s a windblume?” Kaeya asked, after Diluc had mentioned it several times.
“That’s the fun of it, no one knows what a windblume is. It is a mystical flower that thrives in the harshest of weather and in the strongest of winds. Some people say it’s a dandelion or windwheel aster, but I think it’s small lamp grass.”
Kaeya cocked his head, “Lamp grass?”
Diluc studied him, “Papa, could you get us some lamp grass?”
The falcon nodded, “If that is what you wish.”
Just a bit later, Diluc had gotten the falcon to collect a variety of flowers, from dandelions to calla lilies, where Diluc was explaining all about them.
Diluc can create “dream-worlds” that Kaeya is very unsure about.
As Diluc fell asleep to Kaeya softly stroking his head, Diluc muttered, “I gotta teach you sword fighting.” As Diluc’s consciousness drifted away, a new Diluc manifested.
“Who are you?” Asked Kaeya, a bit unsure.
“I’m your brother, silly. Now come on.” Dream Diluc (at least, that’s what Kaeya thought he was) pulled on his arm and Kaeya ended up being dragged onto the Falcon. 
The Falcon leaped up and flew, with Kaeya bracing for an impact that never came as it sped down through the floor and into an entirely new landscape. 
There was a floating island that was decked out with bright green grass and a bright blue sky that looked like it came out of a picture book. They alighted on the island where Diluc turned to face Kaeya. 
“Today, we learn sword fighting.” Kaeya was confused but then quickly put a confident smile on his face. 
“Okay brother. But one problem, we have no swords.”
Diluc smiled, “Well that’s not a problem at all.” Diluc stretched his arm out and with a glow, a long, pretty sword manifested in his hand. He stretched the other one out to achieve a similar effect and tossed it over to Kaeya. 
Kaeya caught it easily with a laugh. “I forgot, this is your world and you can do anything you want. Where do we start?”
Chapter 6 - The hard truth
Kaeya sparred with Diluc for a while, finding the sword to be light and easy in his hand. He found he could manipulate it quite well, actually, and quickly got the hang of these techniques that Diluc was teaching him. Just then, the falcon came over, in small form now, like an actual falcon.
“I have spotted intruders trying to get in.” 
Diluc wrinkled his nose. “Those guys are so annoying. Make them leave.” The falcon nodded.
“Wait,” Kaeya grabbed Diluc’s arm. Diluc looked at him, “What did the intruders look like? Do they have swords? And spears?” The falcon paused and turned to him. 
“Yes.”
“They might be Knights of Favonius!”
Diluc’s eyes lit up. “That’s perfect! Let’s go meet them and we can spar with them!”
Diluc grabbed Kaeya’s arm and the two got onto the expanding falcon, sitting on its now giant form comfortably. 
The three bounded down from the floating island, which Kaeya noted is actually a collection of floating islands with golden bridges connecting them. As they bounded downwards, Kaeya looked up and noticed that the island they were on before also had a golden bridge that seemed to connect to higher in the sky. Perhaps to the bedroom, Kaeya considered, curious. 
As they alighted onto the lowermost island, Kaeya could see that there were indeed four Knights of Favonius soldiers who were here. 
Kaeya felt uncomfortable, he only recognised one person, that one being the ‘Grand Master’. 
“Master Diluc!” One of the soldiers cried, as the two got down from the falcon.
“That’s me. Who here can sword fight?” Diluc and Kaeya’s sword’s re-manifested in their hands. Kaeya was unsure of when the swords had disappeared to begin with but wasn’t about to question it. Instead, he stood tall and confident with a smirk to match Diluc. 
Kaeya watched as the knights whispered amongst themselves and one of them stepped forward. 
“I can. Are you sure you want to duel me Master Diluc? I wield a greatsword and it deals much more damage.” Diluc’s eyes twinkled.
“A greatsword! Well then, I’ll use a greatsword too.”
Diluc’s sword disappeared in favor of a majestic greatsword, which Diluc wielded easily as if it weighed no more than his last one. 
“Understood. It will be one on one, when one is disarmed or held at vulnerable swordpoint, the duel ends.” 
Kaeya watched as the grass ground hardened into a duel ground, with markings on the ground to establish a sense of space. He also noted that the other three knights were sneaking off to hurry their way up the golden bridge up the islands. He didn’t say anything.
Diluc and the knight’s match was interesting. Diluc wielded his sword with much skill and power, with every blow being so overpowered that Kaeya abruptly was reminded that this was ‘dream’ Diluc. Just then, the knight’s sword came down with a crackle of electricity.
Diluc startled. “You have a vision!” Looking over at the falcon, he then declared. “I wish to have a vision too!” Just then, a shiny red glass orb descended into his hands, with gold metal work already welded onto it.
From that point on, the fight was practically over. Kaeya was surprised by how easily Diluc used his vision, as if he had worked with it for years.
“You’re pretty good, your father taught you well.” Said the knight, whom Kaeya admired for being able to stay composed despite his panting.
“He did. Come on Kaeya, we have more matches to get through.” Kaeya didn’t spare a glance at the knight, lest it give him away, and joined Diluc on the falcon.
“That was so cool!” Kaeya exclaimed, with them reaching the next island by the time he was done uttering just that sentence. 
“Wasn’t it?” Diluc grinned. They got off of the falcon to intercept the next batch of knights. “I hope you guys are more challenging than that guy, he was pretty easy.”
The knight’s seemed to come to another agreement. 
“I will duel you next, for I am the captain of the 4th order.”
“A captain?” Diluc asked excitedly, clearly hooked. “Well captain, we’re not duelling. It’s going to be two on two!”
Kaeya felt a cold, glass orb appear in his hand. Giving it a closer look, this vision had a light frost with the cryo symbol and the metalwork had cute little wings on them, which he supposed was the Monstadt style. 
The second knight stepped up, Kaeya noted that the Grand Master was conveniently slipping past. 
Kaeya readied his sword as they began the battle.
The battle was fairly easy, Diluc and Kaeya’s visions being opposite accounted for any weak spots there could be, with Diluc burning through the dendro of one knight and Kaeya freezing the hydro of the other. Kaeya noted that he was having a harder time than Diluc was, who was clearly finding this too easy and only taking this long to test out his pyro moves. The knight Kaeya was fighting then tried to talk to him. 
“Any progress?” 
Kaeya felt his head swirl, yes he was having progress but, did that really count as progress? Kaeya felt his balance get shifted off and a small ‘ah’ was let out as he fell backwards onto his bum with a small thump.
“Kaeya!” Diluc was right next to him in a heartbeat, though Kaeya was completely unhurt, Diluc seemed furious. 
Without any words being spoken Kaeya was picked up by the falcon gently and lifted up, the falcon’s wings beating as it carried him higher. Kaeya just managed to find the time to look down at the battle happening where he just managed to see a flaming falcon and Diluc’s bright red hair before he was carried through the floor of the bedroom. 
Kaeya felt a strange anti-climax, as the noise and liveliness of before became the peace and quiet of the bedroom. The falcon gently lay him onto the bed where Diluc was still sleeping.
“Are you okay?” Asked the falcon, staring into him with black beady eyes. Kaeya gave a big, childish smile.
“I am. Thank you, papa.” Then he threw his arms around the falcon. 
Was Kaeya okay? His head was spinning with trying to grasp how this world worked. More than that, which Kaeya was unsure whether to admit, he felt so conflicted about being loved. He had never been loved before and to have two  people  (well the falcon was iffy) that cared about him was very overwhelming.
Kaeya stared at the cool, cryo vision in his hand. Was it real? His sword was gone. Kaeya placed the vision on the bedside table and looked over at Diluc, who seemed to not be having a very good dream. Was that because of him?
“Diluc, Diluc wake up.” Diluc’s red eyes blinked slowly.
“Kaeya?” He asked. “Good morning.” Diluc yawned. Kaeya felt a pang of fondness go through him. If he was born in this family, well, Diluc had many troubles as well, but maybe he might not be as broken as he already was.
Just then, the Grand Master came into the room, ascending from a hole in the floor that Kaeya was sure wasn’t there the first time he had come in. Kaeya peered over and saw the tint of gold that probably came from the golden bridges over those floating islands. 
Diluc looked over at the Grand Master. 
“Hello Diluc,” He said, kneeling down to match the height that Diluc was, sitting at the side of the bed. “How are you feeling?”
Diluc shifted uncomfortably, Kaeya scooted slightly closer to Diluc, which seemed to make him feel more at ease.
“I’m fine, thank you. And you?”
The Grand Master laughed easily, with a warm smile. “I’m fine, thank you. You don’t have to be that formal Master Diluc. I’m here to help you after all.”
Diluc, whose arm seemed to be twisting its way around Kaeya protectively, replied with “We’re happy here. We don’t need your help.”
“Is that so?” Asked the Grand Master, a twinkle in his eye. “What about the big, scary, entity in your hallway? Do you know about that?”
“Yea! They gave me my papa and my brother.”
“Hmm. And do you know what it is?”
Diluc narrowed his eyes. “It’s an ancient god that was present in the archon wars. Papa was researching it. We don’t even know its name.”
“Very good! Your papa taught you very well.” The Grand Master gave a sad smile, “I miss him very much.”
Diluc seemed to respond to that, Kaeya got the sense that he might have been trying to hold back tears. 
“What do you want?” Diluc asked in a smaller voice.
“Well,” the Grand Master started, “Let’s start with removing that entity from your house.”
“NO!” Diluc yelled, in a hostile voice. He now had a vice-grip on Kaeya. “You just want to take my family away!”
“I don’t want to take your family away.” The Grand Master soothed in a calm but slightly rushed voice. “It’s just harder for people to take care of you while it’s here.”
The falcon had now come over and put itself between the Grand Master and them.
“You are making Diluc upset. Leave.”
The Grand Master had stood up now, trying his best to stand his ground. 
“Diluc, that thing is dangerous. You must know about how it almost destroyed Sumeru. We need to deal with it before it destroys all of Monstadt too.”
Diluc quieted.
“That thing, will destroy all of Monstadt?” Asked Kaeya in a small voice, making sure to inject some fear into his tone.
The Grand Master turned to him, “Yes. But not if we fight and subdue it now.”
Diluc turned to look at Kaeya. “I don’t want you to go.”
Kaeya clasped Diluc’s hands. “I’m not going anywhere. I promise.” Kaeya bit his lip. “Diluc, think about your real papa.”
As Diluc’s face softened and sniffles started, a BANG made everyone in the room flinch, as Diluc’s bedroom door crashed open, revealing a dark, brown vortex of what used to be the hallway with some wisps of smoke starting to pour in.
The Grand Master did not hesitate in pulling out his bow and arrow, letting one fly resulting in a low rumble that Kaeya likened to a cry.
The two kids were scared now, as the Grand Master ran toward the thing, arrows flying. 
The falcon took one look at the two boys and also set off, engaging in the battle as well. 
The bedroom was huge, so the ancient god would take awhile at this speed to reach the far end of the bed that the boys were sitting on, but the fear that paralysed them was petrifying nonetheless. 
Kaeya broke out of it first. “Diluc, Diluc look at me.”
Diluc looked at Kaeya, which was hard to do as sounds of bloody murder kept enticing the two to look at the battle. 
“You’re going to be the one to win this battle.”
“Me?”
Kaeya nodded. “That thing needs you to wish. It needs your imagination and your wishes to win. So the more you think that it’s scary the more it is.”
Diluc nodded slowly. “What should I do?”
“You need to wish that it will go away. You need to believe that papa is strong.”
“But isn’t that counterintuitive?”
Kaeya shook his head. “Papa is made from that thing right? But papa is on our side. So if you think that papa is super strong and that god is super weak, then that is what will happen.”
They two locked eyes, and Diluc stared at the determined look in Kaeya’s eye and nodded. 
“Yeah! Papa is super strong! You know once, he managed to defeat five ruin guards allll by himself.”
Kaeya nodded fervently. “And he’s really fast too!”
“Yeah! He always races me, and let’s me win, but he can run at super speed. He knows everything too! He can beat archons as easily as-” Diluc snapped his fingers, “That!”
Kaeya forced himself not to look at the fight, doing that will only tempt Diluc and may break this streak of belief and hope.
BOOM!
Kaeya and Diluc flinched, though neither of them got hurt. The two looked up to see the entity hissing and recoiling as the swirling dust seemed to just instantaneously clear. Diluc’s toys and books which were previously strewn across the floor were blown haphazardly to the far ends of the room.
“Are you two okay?” Asked the Grand Master, rushing over to them.
“Yeah.” Diluc said, with a shuddering breath.
Then there was a light.
“Diluc, Kaeya.” It was the falcon. In its huge, glowing form.
“Papa.” Diluc whispered, staring up at the bird. “Are you going now?”
The falcon nodded its head. “That will be what is best for you two. But don’t worry, I will always be watching over you.”
The light that made up the falcon seemed to disperse, with the crystals fading along with it. The crystals seemed to retreat from the room, with the entire house being more or less unscathed except for where the last battle took place. Kaeya breathed a sigh of relief. 
He turned to Diluc, “Diluc-”
“Kaeya!” Kaeya found himself in a tight hug.
“It’s okay! Everything’s fine now.”
Diluc sniffed, “I’m so glad you’re not gone too. You didn’t leave me.” 
It hit Kaeya that Diluc might have thought that he was a ‘dream’ or ‘made up’ brother similar to his ‘papa’. Kaeya wrapped his arms around Diluc.
“I’m not going anywhere. If-if you’ll have me that is.” Diluc pulled away from him. “I mean, I’m not your real brother I’m just,” Kaeya took a breath, “I’m just some orphan off the street.”
Diluc shook his head. “You’re my real brother. Some people have different versions of what family is, but if you’re not my family, no one is.” Kaeya felt his heart throb. Maybe they could get through this together. 
“Also, to make everything absolutely clear, I was well alive and existed looong before that god came in. So yeah.”
Chapter 7 - Things get better
Kaeya was at first unsure of whether he was accepted here. Afterall, he had only been Diluc’s brother for a total of two days technically, and now that everything was ‘over’ he was scared that he’d have to leave. It seemed that Diluc too, had that exact fear, and was very defensive and protective of Kaeya when the adults talked to them. 
The two became inseparable, and though Kaeya got his ‘own room’ he continued to sleep in Diluc’s bed. 
They enjoyed playing around the winery where Diluc continued his quest to integrate Kaeya and get him up to speed with the ways of the Ragnvindr. He taught him how the wine is made and brought him all around the house. Kaeya felt pretty happy. Afterall, this felt like a sweet, peaceful life. Could he have this?
A week on, and the two are sparring with practice swords near the lake, when Diluc freezes (not literally) and Kaeya easily disarms him. 
“Is something wrong?” Asks Kaeya, looking back.
There are two adults, walking towards them. A lady with flaming red hair and a man with a warm smile. Kaeya sees Diluc, with teary eyes, run towards them, it was Kaeya’s turn to freeze up now. 
Kaeya broke through the shock and started walking towards them, dropping his shoulders and arranging himself to look as childlike and small as possible.
“I can’t believe you’re back!” Diluc beamed at them, then grabbed Kaeya who was standing at the side, looking awkward. “Also, mama, papa, here’s your new son.”
Kaeya stared up at the parents with a sheepish smile. Was he out of place? He had somewhat bonded with falcon-papa, not actual-papa! 
Diluc narrowed his eyes, “When everyone left me, Kaeya was the only one who was here for me. So he’s my new brother.”
“Hi~” Kaeya greeted, his face betraying his nervousness.
“Hi Kaeya. Now child, where did you come from? Is Diluc holding you hostage? Where are your parents?”
Kaeya shifted uncomfortably, “It’s a long story.”
“He’s an orphan.” Diluc supplied helpfully.
The parents gave each other a look that clearly said: “We should talk to the Grand Master.”
As the family made their way back inside, Diluc grabbed Kaeya’s arm and beamed at him. Maybe everything does get better, eventually.
AN: I recently watched the Pokemon Movie after becoming addicted to Genshin, and this setup fit Kaeya and Diluc far too well to not be written down. They cured my writer’s block (for this fic anyways) and I had a lot of fun with adapting the world to fit. Hope you guys enjoyed it!
(Also the chapter’s are unneccessary but make me feel like I’ve written a lot so let me get away with it please)

A leap of faith. by DeviantLivehorses
The gas lamp lights were low flamed, the orchestra tuning already, and the chelesta player rehearsing the Plum Fairy dance. A numerous crowd was filling all the stage seats, summoned by an ambitious announcement around Paris of the great event of the Christmas eve: The Nutcracker releasing, starring with Rosita Mauri as the Plum Fairy, and Félicie Lebras, an orphan girl who would have her debut in ballet that night with the role of Clara. But... Where was she? Rosita was ready, dressed with a beautiful tutu. Louis Mérante, the ballet master and choreographer, sighed while watching at all the audience, banded for the event. He felt how a difficult walk was reaching him from behind. He turned to look to his love interest, Odette. "The last time she was this late it did not end well". He said with stern tone. But then he felt ashamed, when he look Odette's worried face, staring at the red shoes she was holding on her hands. Then Odette sighed. "She told me she was going to try to apologize with Victor and to invite him. Does an apology last this time? I don't really think she could have underestimated her first ballet, I saw her very constant in her rehearsals in the last hours. She's taking it seriously this time". Her voice sounded like she wanted to convince the ballet master at any cost of Félicie's determination. Mérante remained standing in front on her in silence, thinking in her last words. He also saw the little girl's dedication. He saw her taking things seriously and putting all of her in her rehearsals. And to only have going to talk to a friend, that would only last less than five minutes, without returning, was inusual. "Something is wrong" he finally said after some time of silence. "She can't be this late. I'm going to look for her. She went to Monsieur Gustave Eiffel's workshop isn't it?" "Yes." answered Odette. "Louis, I can go instead. You probably need to stay and answer some questions if the people start to wonder where is she." "No, it would be better if you stay. You can answer them as well as I can. They already know you are like my right hand". "Why you?" asked her looking at his eyes with her big, brilliant blue eyes. "I don't have a good feeling about this". were the last words she heard him saying, while he was leaving the place with hurry. When Mérante was leaving the Opera, he heard a girly voice shouting and approaching from the distance. "Help! Somebody help!" was crying the voice. When the person finally reached Mérante, he realized it was Camille Le Haut, Félicie's old nemesis, but now her most close friend. "What is it?" asked Mérante raising the voice, starting to fear the worst. "Oh! Monsieur, how lucky for me to find you!" said Camille panting, with low breath left. "It's my mother. She went completely crazy. She hit her friend in the head with a tool..." "What?" "...and she's chasing her around Eiffel's house with the tool. She wants to kill her!" "To who, for Heaven's sake?!" "To Félicie! My mother is angry with her because I gave her the role!" Mérante went pale faster than a second. With the impulse of his worrying started to walk fast with long steps. But the hurry of the situation put wings in his feet and made him run with light steps that barely touched the ground. Beside him was running his little student. They approached the engineer's house when they heard a loud sound of things crashing down. The door was open. Mérante enter and while running, by a quick glance, he saw Félicie's friend faint on the ground, and the fat violinist kid trying to recover him. He crossed in a blink the door and came out to the backyard. He went down the stairs and he turned the corner of the back of the house. But he stopped sudennly when he didn't find any clue of Félicie. "Up there!" shouted Camille approaching him from behind and pointing to the Statue of Liberty's head. Mérante looked up. There was Félicie, on the head of the statue, stepping back at Régine Le Haut's threatening approaching. "Madame Le Haut!" Shouted Mérante with powerful voice while he was running across the yard, going to the foot of the statue. "Let her go!" Félicie from the top took a look to the ballet master down there. But she stumbled and fell near to the crown. Mérante was already climbing the ladder that led to the top of the statue. He at last reached to the start of the wooden scaffold. But there was a long way before he could reach the girl and Régine. Nevertheless, he kept running with his light steps. When he was near to the big chin of the statue, he heard Régine saying a lot of things about the night of Félicie's debut, about Odette and many other things. When he was in front of the nose, he saw Félicie was already on one of the points of the crown, with one foot almost in the air. Mérante felt a cold sweat in his forehead, and a chill running on his back. "Régine!!!" he cryed out desperate at the top of his voice. Félicie stepped back to much. She lost balance and fell from the statue. Without any moment to lose, Mérante had to chose for the only option left. He took flight, and approaching the edge of the place where he was standing, he shrunk himself, pushed himself with his legs and he lift up from the boards while doing a Grand Jeté. Meanwhile he stretched his legs as long as he could to make sure to stay in the air as long as possible before falling. He catched Félicie in his arms in time. They were in the air yet, and Mérante started to look for a safe place to land while he started to loose flight and started falling. "We are going to die!" said Félicie in his arms while she hid her face in his teacher's chest. "You're safe now" said Mérante to calm her. But many things at the moment was crossing like a flash his mind. The fear to fail the landing, a long falling, two, maybe four legs broken, and the impossibility to dance for the rest of their lives. But no, there wasn't that risk. He knew exactly what to do, he always knew how to tame every leap he had always did. He spot the roof of a house nearby, he stretched more his legs, and then landed on the edge of the roof with one foot, followed after by the other foot. The impact of the landing made him wheeze and shrunk over Félicie, almost hugging her, and protecting her with his chest from any harm. He lost balance a little, pulling back to the edge, by the effect of the inertia, with the risk of falling of from the roof. But he leaned forward to avoid it. It took some time for both to recover the breath. Mérante rose up and put Félicie on the ground. "You did a Grand Jeté!" exclaimed Félicie. "Yes, yes" he replied still panting. If he did a Grand Jeté or a pass the chat, that wasn't matter at that moment. She was safe and that was what really mattered now. Both looked up when they heard Régine yelling on the top of the statue. Mérante looked at her with a strong, frowned look, raising his back and looking defiant. Meanwhile he took Félicie from her hip and aproached her to his body, like a sign of protection from the crazy woman. "what is going to become of her?" asked Félicie worried. "Probably she's going to be sended into prison, or maybe into a mental hospital" he said with a quite, stern voice. "And Camille?" Mérante sighed through his nose. "Maybe I can take care of her". Félicie hugged him tightly. Mérante startled, with a new sensation he was never felt before with no one. He usually didn't allow anyone to barely touch him, and that made him being a little far from the rest of the people. This girl, along with Odette, was the closest and warmest person he had. "Thanks monsieur! You're like a dad". Mérante felt moved, and the color of his cheeks, that he has lose in the middle of the adventure, returned to him. "And you are like a daughter" he whispered while caressing Félicie's red hair. "You can call me Louis... Now," he said with his usual formal voice "we must hurry, or you will be late for your debut. And maybe we should find a way to go down from this roof." Félicie laughed.
A @littleladybaker sister’s headcannon plot twist of the ending climax of Ballerina/Leap! in which Mérante is the one that saves Félicie from falling in the Statue of Liberty's chase. I hope you enjoy it, I'm not really good at writing, and more with action scenes but I did my best. ;) This was hard to do and took me many time, but since long ago I wanted to do this headcannon more oficial because I liked it from the beginning.
