"We were just like lovers,
And we had each other,
We were down for the good times,
We were there for the trouble,
Like a thief in the night,
Broad daylight,
You stole my sanity, and now you are the enemy, yeah,
Are you sure you wanna play this game?
Are you sure you wanna play it?
The only thing worse than a hater-
The only thing worse than a hater is traitor, a traitor, a traitor,
You put the knife right in my back, killed any history we had,
Now it's war,
War,"

Corrupt!Venti is an interesting concept, and Ren and I made our own corrupt!Venti AU, because I'm weak, I suggested it and yeah, I'm weak with self control when I get a dumb idea
Venti's terror at being a father when he finds out Zhongli is pregnant is a driving force, like made him more vulnerable to the corruption that took Dvalin

Zhongli loves Venti, and Venti preys on that to the max, using Zhongli when he needs to feel wanted, but also tossing Zhongli aside for anyone else because he knows Zhongli will always be there for him to fall back to when he needs a hit of feeling wanted, and he likes tearing into Zhongli by pretty much showing off other lovers he takes, literally takes other lovers such as Ren around Liyue to show Zhongli that he is replaceable to him (since Venti knows Zhongli zeros in on him when he steps into Liyue, at no point is Venti not being watched when in Liyue) and to make Zhongli need him more and such

Xiao is so close to trying to kill Venti
Xiao literally hates his dad, he's seen his mom cry so much over him and Xiao hates everything about that, that's his mom! someone is hurting him! Xiao gonna stab

Venti finally overstepped with Zhongli and Zhongli can't forgive him like he normally would
He like either took important contracts or tore them up or something, just because he could and it would cause Zhongli pain, but that was too far, sorry Venti, Zhongli mad, as much as he loves you he can't just let that go, Liyue and <ondstadt got the prospect of going to war over this, you gotta stop Venti

I added embers and such really just because I like doing fire lit things, Zhongli not having horns tho was a random decision
There are cecilias on Zhongli's spear, yes, because he loves Venti, you see, and yes, I changed "brothers" to "lovers" because Zhongven
