Straight up, Venti from 'Genshin Impact'? That's tricky since he's a bard who's been hanging around Mondstadt for more than a thousand years. But in human-like form, he looks about 15-16, all youthful joy and energy. Pretty sure he's one of the oldest characters in the game.

I adore Genshin Impact! It's an incredible game, full of diverse characters. Now about Diluc, he’s around 22 years old. I guess his maturity and seriousness make him feel older! Regardless of his age, he’s a character that serious and casual players alike can appreciate.

Any plot that moves him beyond straightforward villainy grabs my attention. 'Calibration of Empathy' gave him an accidental, lingering exposure to Irminsul memories not his own, forcing Aether to become his reluctant anchor. Watching Dottore grapple with empathy as an invasive, malfunctioning system, while Aether tries to decide if this is manipulation or a genuine glitch, creates a tension that's hard to look away from.
A less cerebral angle I enjoyed was a relic-hunting expedition gone wrong, trapping them together in some ancient mechanism. The forced proximity scenario is classic, but when one party is a morally dubious scientist and the other a dimension-hopping traveler, the power dynamics get wonderfully messy. Will they cooperate to survive, or is Dottore just cataloging Aether's stress responses? The ambiguity is the whole point.
I'm lukewarm on 'enemies to lovers' if it's just bickering until they kiss. The shift needs a catalyst that feels organic to both characters, not just narrative convenience.

Ever wonder about Kaeya's age in 'Genshin Impact'? Well, the game does not explicitly reveal the characters' ages but based on datamined Lore, Kaeya is revealed to be at least 4 years older than the Traveler, who is approximately 16. So his age can be guessed to be around 20.

A surprisingly rich vein of these crossovers, once you look past the initial surface-level villain/hero dynamic. There’s the obsessive researcher angle—Dottore treating Aether as the ultimate anomalous specimen, a being from beyond Teyvat. That leads to a ton of lab or containment AUs, but also weirder, more psychological stuff where the ‘experiment’ is social, seeing how Aether reacts to twisted kindness or conditional freedom. Then you’ve got the timeline paradox plots, often borrowing from theories about the Descenders. What if Aether was a past, failed experiment of Dottore’s, memory wiped? Or a future one? That loops into amnesia tropes hard.
Beyond that, forced alliances pop up constantly. Fatui orders, mutual survival scenarios, a contract with very fine print—anything to get them sharing space long enough for the tension to shift from murderous to something more complicated. The power imbalance is key; it’s rarely an even footing. Dottore holds all the cards—knowledge, resources, sheer physical modification. Watching Aether navigate that, using adaptability and sheer stubborn will against a prepared, brilliant mind, is the core draw for a lot of writers.
And yeah, the body horror potential of the Segments gets explored, but often metaphorically. Which ‘version’ of Dottore is this? Is he collecting segments that failed to live up to some ideal, and sees in Aether a template? Or is Aether the one person who can see the man fractured beneath all the copies? It gets existential fast. I’ve seen more than one fic where the relationship is less romantic and more a horrifying mirror—the eternal traveler vs. the eternally replicating scientist, both alone in their own way. Ends up feeling more like a tragic character study than a ship sometimes, which I honestly prefer.

Douma, the Upper Moon Two from 'Demon Slayer', is essentially ageless as he was turned into a demon centuries ago. But if we consider the time he was turned, he'd be over 100 years old.

Man, the Kaeya vs. Diluc age debate is one of those 'Genshin' rabbit holes I’ve fallen into more times than I’d like to admit. From what I’ve pieced together through lore snippets and character stories, Kaeya’s technically younger—but not by much. He was adopted into the Ragnvindr family as a kid after Diluc’s dad took him in, and their dynamic always felt like a classic 'older brother vs. mischievous little brother' trope. The game hints that Kaeya arrived sometime after Diluc’s tenth birthday, so maybe a 2–3 year gap? But here’s the kicker: Kaeya’s backstory as a Khaenri’ah spy complicates everything. His age might even be fudged, given the whole 'cursed nation' thing. Still, their rivalry-turned-estrangement hits harder when you imagine them as close-in-age teens who grew up sparring and pranking each other before everything went south.
Honestly, what fascinates me more is how their ages reflect their personalities. Diluc acts like a grumpy 30-year-old at heart (probably from running a winery at 18), while Kaeya’s got that 'eternally 25' energy—flirty, lazy, but secretly carrying the weight of the world. Their voice lines about each other scream 'sibling energy,' even if Mihoyo’s never handed us a birth certificate. I’d kill for a prequel manga showing their academy days, though.
