Jeanluc

Jeanluc is the het ship between Jean Gunnhildr and Diluc Ragnvindr from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
The two knew each other back when Diluc was part of the Knights of Favonius, during which he was Jean's superior. After his father's death, Diluc was infuriated with the Knights due to the way they handled the aftermath of the incident, and so he quit. The whole experience made him very critical of the organization. Though Jean understands why he feels that way and why he harbors such animosity towards them, she expresses her hope that one day she, through her work, will be able to better his view on Knights.

Archon Quest
In Act II of the Mondstadt Chapter, Venti and the traveler go to the Angel's Share once it closes down after their plan to steal the Holy Lyre Der Himmel backfires. Upon entering, the two of them see Jean and Diluc beside each other, waiting for them. Jean is surprised that the traveler ended up being the one who tried to steal the lyre. Venti and the traveler explain how Dvalin was poisoned long ago and corrupted by the Abyss upon waking from its slumber, but Diluc believed their story was too farfetched to believe and tried to make Venti repeat the tale that he'd sung Diluc previously.

Jean, however, affirms that she believes the two of them and that won't be necessary - though she says she will only be able to assist in private, due to diplomatic issues associated with the Knights. Diluc scoffs and remarks how that's a reason he doesn't like the Knights, but does say he's surprised by how quickly Jean believed the traveler, given that they're an outlander. Jean, however, says that even with his own cautious and meticulous personality, he still trusts them. She calls him "sir," to which he replies he'd already told her not to call him that - but ultimately dismisses it due to the fact that they don't get to work together often anymore. The traveler (unaware of their previous affilations) questions this, to which they say nothing. Paimon and Venti note the uncomfortable atmosphere.

Later on in the story quest, when the group heads to Starsnatch Cliff to summon Dvalin, the topic of pets is brought up (due to questioning if the dragon was technically Venti's pet) and Jean mentions that when she was younger she had a pet tortoise. Paimon finds it rather odd for Jean to have had a tortoise for a pet, and asks Diluc if he found it strange as well. Diluc responds by telling Paimon he doesn't, as he had one as well as a child, to which Paimon is shocked.

Leo Minor
At the end of Jean's story quest, Jean asks her friends how they were able to prepare the party for her at Angel's Share. Though Kaeya tells her that the key organizer was the traveler, he also concedes that they've Diluc to thank for the venue and for offering to pay their bill. Diluc then says despite his initial reluctance to sponsor a Knights of Favonius event in any way, he, like any other citizen of Mondstadt, owes Jean his gratitude for her hard work, and that's why he went through with the plan.

Manga
In the sixth chapter of the Genshin Webtoon, Jean recognizes Diluc's father being the previous owner of a delusion mentioned in tattered research papers by the Fatui. She then sends Lisa to question Diluc about his involvement in the recent Black Fire incident. Diluc is surprised that Lisa knows about his father's death because it was supposed to be a secret, and concludes that Jean must have told Lisa about it, which she affirms.

Quotes

- Diluc about Jean

- Jean about Diluc

"Master Diluc is my senior, and I have the utmost respect for him. Though we have gone separate ways, I can sense we share the same strong commitment to protecting Mondstadt at all costs."

Fanon
Jeanluc is fairly popular. While ships such as Jeanlisa and Kaeluc have a bigger following, it has gained a rather large fanbase and has steadily remained one of the most popular shipping options for both Jean and Diluc. Some fans of the ship like to joke that Klee is Jean and Diluc's child, as she shares Diluc's red eyes and pyro vision along with Jean's blonde hair.

Currently, the ship has over two hundred works on Archive of Our Own.
