Morax death left Xiao with nothing to live for in this world. He can't seem to find a reason to stay in Liyue- or anywhere at all. Until a young bard in green crosses his path and teaches him how to smile again. -- Ayo^^ This is mostly out of boredom so don't expect perfect grammar pls hehe TW: mention of suicide All characters belong to miHoYo, all credits of used artwork belongs to the artist. ~1.

Xiao Alatus from engineering, and Venti Barbatos from culinary arts -had agreed to be sex partners, giving rights to touch one another's body. How long can they keep themselves from falling as they slowly realized that they found each other more than fuck buddies? !!!!STORY UNDER CONTRSUCTION. STORY UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!! Please read before continuing The description would NOT match the storyline of the story right now, the author is still rewriting every chapter. If you are a new reader, it might be a little confusing so I suggest to read when the process is done. I sincerely apologize. -Ziela

Venti had been chosen to become Xiao's fiancé, and things starts to get troublesome from there. Will they be able to overcome whatever life throws at them? Royal AU !cover not mine! A kindly reminder that Venti is TALLER than Xiao :)

𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙨. Xiao, a vampire hunter was tasked by his master, Lord Rex Lapis, to capture a 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝. Well-..not exactly capture on the spot, but to learn about their abilities first. He was tasked with what they called him, "The Windriddened Witch", Barbatos. Xiao was to be stuck in a child like form for about 5 months to learn the art of witchcraft from an actual witch itself. 𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠.. He'd never faced a witch first handed before. What the hell was he supposed to do? 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗔𝗨 (Very much inspired by Kackaorz on Twitter and 貂球球长出龙角啦) Disclaimer! I do not own any of the characters. -no smut -some fluff ig? -idk maybe some angst??

Xiao transfers to a school with his current boyfriend Aether, Basically Venti is a popular kiddo who likes to talk and become friends with whoever enters the school They're just normal highschool students.... right? Update Schedule : Wednesday Friday Sunday

A new boy group 4NEMO fully debuted with their forth and final member Kazuha. With the introduction of the youngest member, the 4 member group of Anemo vision bearers was complete. Since they are a new group, dating is a ban. Xiao and Venti have been together since their training days while Aether and Kazuha only got together just a few months ago. None of them can announce publicly until 3 years of debut. Their seniors, L/YUE recently reached their 3 year anniversary and the four of them publicly stated about their relationships. Seeing them be so open to each other made the younger group jealous. To add on to that their rival and friend group, TVT DREAM have made their own relationship announcements after being active for only a year. Since both couples tend to be extremely clingy and they just jealous very easily, they might encounter some problems with hiding their relationships... • None of the characters belong to me and they rightfully belong to MiHoYo • • The cover is edited by me although the fanart is not mine • • This is an Alternate Universe (AU) so non of this is canonical to the Genshin Impact story • .✽✦✽. Updates on Friday <3 .✽✦✽. ~ Further updates for any scheduling issues will be announced on my conversations board ~ ~*~*~ Date Started: 29th July 2021 Date Finished: N/A Written by: Saku._.kkura

How To Start An Addiction | Xiaoven/Venxiao Total chapter word count ; 13210 Venti, and Xiao, both aspiring highschool students with decent grades and perfect attendance. They'd went to school together for awhile now, their bond only growing more and more as the years had passed. Ever since they were little, Venti had helped Xiao out a lot with those older jerks picking on him. But, the strong, intelligent and interesting person known as Venti whom Xiao had looked up to..was more or less a..mere coward. So that's really what led them both here..? Geez. - In which Xiao is led by his friend Venti through the fun adventure of a..children's game more or less. - He typed something in, Venti made sure to go as far as to cover his eyes. "Venti." Venti hummed, still having his eyes covered. "That's my password." Venti stayed silent for a few seconds. "..Why?" "Why not?" - Highschool AU
