So this is a modern AU where Xiao and Aether go to the same school and Xiao has a crush on Aether. I'm very bad at writing story descriptions so i promise the book will be better lol ill update as much as i can, probably 1-5 chapters every 1-3 days if possible. Kind of a slow burn? idk

!! PLEASE READ !! Abyss Aether x Xiao This story will contain: - Boy x Boy plot - Angst (+ mentions of suicide, please don't read if that will trigger you <3) - Fluff This takes place in the normal Genshin world. I'm going to try to stay as true to the characters as I can. I'm chose Aether so in my world, Lumine is in the abyss, so sorry is Abyss Aether's personality is a bit off :( This story will not contain ANY smut. I don't believe it matches either of these characters, especially Xiao. If you're interested in a (hopefully) full plot instead of something like smutty oneshots, this is NOT the story for you. Hopefully I'll write one chapter ever other day to once a week, school is starting soon so I may not have much time. And with that, please enjoy "Karmic Debt" (an Abyss Aether x Xiao Fanfiction) ! ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO miHoyo ! Art by: @kodokunoakashi on twitter!
