Ah, no I don't mind at all! I've been trying to find someone who brainrots about them as well and I'm so happy to finally find one!
Part 2 of older sibling reader: Angst and romance!
By that I mean, the reason I thought of an older sibling rather than a younger. Don't get me wrong, the overprotective sibling trope is one of my absolute favorites and I adore it each time but after a while it kinda looses its charm, I guess? I mean it happens in literally every piece of media or manhwa that I've read and it's kinda getting boring st this point. So, I thought: why not switch it up a bit and go with an older sibling instead!
Eldest Ragvindir MC who is completely unamused by the brothers attempts to intimidate whatever poor soul they're trying to romance because, and I quote: I'm older than you dammit! And smacks them both on the head before pulling their date away.
The boys used to do it all the time as kids, since MC became a teenager before them and began dating. It used to be cute back then since the boys were just cute kids in general but now? Now???? Mc is so done with this bullshit, because they are grown ass men, why are they still doing this?!?!? And again, they're older than them! They're allowed to date whoever they like and can tell when someone is shitty enough, thank you very much.
The boys don't listen and this continues for a while before MC offers them a deal: if the boys can work together and beat them in a fight, then MC will stop dating. For a few months at least, they're not gonna give it up altogether. The problem? Mc taught the boys how to fight, from the basics to their present day fighting styles. Which means, MC knows their moves and how they think. What's more, even as kids the boys were never able to beat MC in a spar and they still remember each and every one of those times they lost. So everytime they take the deal it's a sort of: Will the students finally surpass the master?
No. The answer is no.
The boys will feel that sting on their pride for the rest of time.
And now: The angst. Aka the reason I gave MC an electro vision.
Mc wasn't able to arrive on time when Crepus died. Due to a variety of reasons, all they found was Diluc hunched over their dad's body and Kaeya watching blankly. They immediately brought the boys home, the knights deciding to wait until a different date to get a statement on the incident.
Mc is in their room trying to figure out what to do next when Adelinde calls them outside urgently. They arrive on time to see sparks in the air and watch as Diluc and Kaeya fight, not a friendly spar but an actual battle between enemies. Confused but with no time to think, they rush forward using their vision and arrive seconds after Kaeyas vision appears. Shoving him out of the way leaves them open to take the brunt of Dilucs attack and the moment electro makes contact with pyro-
Boom.
The resulting overload reaction caused severe burns on their hands, almost permanently crippling them. It will take some time before they're healed enough to work properly and even then the phantom pains will persist, especially on bad days.
What if- they had an incredibly bright career in the knights? What if they were considered the best candidate for Grandmaster? (Not because Jean was bad in anyway, of course, but they were older and more experienced so it makes sense) well throw that out the window because they're too injured to continue working and so have no choice but to resign.
As for Diluc and Kaeyas reaction...
I'll leave that up to you hehehe...
If Kaeya was reluctant to tell Diluc, his best friend and brother, twin even, then Kaeya is extremely reluctant to tell MC about him bring a spy. They were the one who found and brought him to the manor, as the eldest they own the manor now and have all the power to throw him out. Dilucs reaction was bad enough, could he continue living if MC hated him as well? They're too important to him.
(It takes a long time for them to convince him it's ok, over the span of a few days since they're injured and everyone's recovering from Crepus but eventually they do. For the most part they stay silent but eventually pull Kaeya into a hug and silently promise themselves that they're going to beat the shit out of his dad if they ever get the chance.)
The boys take turns sticking to MC as much as possible, being one of the few things they now agree on. Though they only ever stay when the other isn't around, the timing indicates some kind of silently agreed on schedule. It isn't until they one day hear MC break down in front of Crepus's portrait that they realize MC has been ignoring their feelings this entire time and focusing entirely on healing, managing the winery and making sure the boys are ok. They're doing everything they can to ignore what's happened to them (Losing their dad, their brothers fighting, losing their career and severe burns) and it takes its toll on them. That's when the brothers finally decide to sit down and talk. They agree to make an effort for their eldest but whether or not it'll work has to wait until Diluc returns from Snezhnaya.
When Diluc returns, he insists on taking over managing the family business even though MC is the oldest. He knows that becoming an adventurer had been another dream of theirs and his guilt from ending their career as a knight persists as well as leaving them to manage a business while still healing. As such he firmly promises them and himself that no matter what, he won't ruin their next career as an adventurer. Once is more than enough. As such, MC gains the freedom of an adventurer and travels around Mondstadt (sometimes Liyue as well) as a Catalyst user. (They had to switch to it as a weapon to put less strain on their hands and as a form of physical therapy.)
I also like to think that MC would wear a mobility aid on their hand from Fontaine just because even years after the incident, sometimes their hand won't move properly. The brothers are always especially protective of them when this happens because it can come out of nowhere which makes it dangerous at times.
I'll stop here for now since it's alot but hope you enjoy the brain rot!

hm I understand what you mean about that, some tropes do lose their charm over time, I don’t really like the whole typical romance situations like ‘there’s only one bed’ or ‘meet cute’ anymore because it list it’s charm for me;;;
I can imagine mc doing that one smile kaeya does when he’s angry, or y’know, the closed eye smile thing before banging both their heads together and whispering in their ear that they should leave if they don’t want to get their asses beat
Hm, interesting idea about them teaching the boys how to fight, Kaeya fights really elegantly and Diluc fights more aggressively, maybe the two sides of MC? Graceful big sibling but terrifying in a fight or when they’re angry? Just a thought.
About the angst - Oh Diluc would be heartbroken. Not only did he injure his brother that night, but also his beloved big sibling? I’m not surprised he left after that. Kaeya would probably feel guilty and see it like it was his fault since he was the one meant for the attack, not MC. Probably another reason why he’s so reluctant to reveal the truth.
I just read that the boys look after mc, so maybe Diluc didn’t leave? Personally, I would think it would be even more of a reason to leave Mondstat than the original reason, but if you think he’d stay then I’d say Diluc would be much more overprotective of them, but in a way where he’s not near them so he doesn’t have to see what he’s done (to either of his siblings now that Kaeya’s eye is scarred)
But, settling their differences and looking after mc after their break? That I can see happening.
Aw Diluc, he really is a sweetheart even though he makes the wrong decisions sometimes, I can see that happening too. I really like the idea of mc being a catalyst, kind of proves that even though they’re disabled they’re still capable, very nice touch.
Sorry for the delay this was just very long and I was working through sections so maybe my ideas might contradict your thoughts (sorry if this is the case-)
I’ll try and reply to the other one a little more quicker, but I think that one’s longer so please be patient I have one working brain cell and it’s flickering from low power OTL
(Oh, can I just ask, in future if you send angst, before it starts can you put a trigger warning? Not really for me but just in case anyone wants to skip over it, thank you 💞)
