Some headcanons for my kaebedo spy x family au but with a twist because my brain refuses to switch off tonight
Albedo is the hitman, Klee is an esper and Kaeya is the spy.
Albedo is Klee's brother and they both escaped from a Fatui lab (after destroying it and their records, of course) and live in Mondstadt.
He's known as the Chalk Prince in the hitman world and earns a lot of money with his high profile targets. His 'normal job' is some desk job
He tries to keep his hitman job a secret from Klee but he doesn't know that she can read minds, only that she's been experimented on.
Klee tries VERY hard to not let Albedo know that she knows because she's a very considerate little sister that doesn't want him to have a breakdown, thank you very much. Also she thinks it's very cool
Yes she's still an arsonist child, who else would have blown up that lab? Also she goes to school with Qiqi and Diona (and Timmy) as classmates.
Kaeya is a Khaenriahn spy known as Eclipse, he's been deep undercover as Diluc's adopted brother and is a superintendent of the favonius police force. Or part of the Dawn Winery business, I haven't decided. He hasn't outed himself to his brother, so their relationship is amicable, if a bit strained recently
Kaeya's been commissioned to spy on some high ranking diplomat and the parameters are that he needs a family in order to get into their good graces, lest they get suspicious. So he can't even start the mission till he finds a family somehow lmao
Albedo on the other hand, has been looking for a partner, since talks about the Fatui sending envoys to Mondstadt are circling and he needs someone as a safeguard to make it look like he and Klee were Mondstadt citizens all along
Kaebedo meet cute with Klee finding out Kaeya's a spy. Cue "Oh Big Brother Al-beee-do, isn't it so lonely without someone else back home?? I wish I had another big brother!" Albedo is flustered. Kaeya... thinks about it. It's also a nice coincidence that Albedo's sister goes to the same school as his target's child
Shenanigans ensue, Kaeya's being chased down by his latest target with Albedo being caught up in the crossfire, which end up in them agreeing to a fake relationship and some very new feelings in the process.
Yes they get fake married, Kaeya gets concussed and slips up. Diluc's now convinced his brother's eloped without telling him and "oh gods, I'm terribly sorry Albedo, I guess we're husbands now?"
"Hm, I guess this will take some getting used to, husband."
"Guh- I mean yes. You're right."
bonus under the cut:
Sucrose and Timeus are Albedo's coworkers! They babysit Klee sometimes, and she always loves Miss Sucrose's candies. Albedo's kind of like a mentor to them, despite being newer to the job.
Klee still has Dodoco, and its a little stuffed toy and Klee's only memento of her mum
Also, Alice is both Klee and Albedo's biological mother in this au, and they were outlanders trying to look for a place to settle before Klee and Albedo got taken and eventually experimented on.
Diluc and Kaeya are overprotective siblings for each other, no I don't take criticism
Also Diluc still has his Darknight hero persona, and Kaeya and his agency totally know
Dainsleif is Kaeya's handler. He is Tired of Kaeya's antics, which now includes trying to goad him into making a pretend family. Which. That's a hard no from him. His coworkers are basically grown-ass children anyway.
Childe is a fellow spy who's infiltrated the Fatui, with his former mentor, Skirk as his handler. He keeps asking Kaeya to fight him. Or even worse, "Comrade, I want to fight your smoking hot brother!"
"Never, ever describe him as that again. I think I just threw up a little."
