Blood binds; in the Abyss, it congeals into chains. Aether journeyed through the five great nations of Teyvat, encountering countless souls-forming friendships, forging alliances, and clashing with adversaries. Through it all, he remained grounded, modest, and quietly yearned for a serenity uniquely his own. He found that serenity, surprisingly, in Skirk, the enigmatic mentor known as Childe's master, the Sinner's Pupil. He never imagined she would grant him peace, nor that she shared his quiet longing. Perhaps it was finally time to slow down, to gently reflect alongside someone who genuinely understood him-someone whose soul resonated with his own, even as the Abyss stirred beneath their feet.

With the prophecy now over, a certain ex-archon hurried down the streets, her head hung low and shoulders hunched. As she passed, murmurs and whispers could be faintly heard, barely covered by the rustles of the wind. I don't wanna do this anymore... I can't take it... Her grief and cries seem insignificant and trivial, like another gentle gust of fresh wind. She didn't dare dream, didn't dare hope, her happiness long locked up, a forgotten relic of a bygone era. She longed for someone to see her, the real her, buried deep beneath the thousands of masks and façades. She yearned for companionship and care, free of judgements, to just lay in someone's arms and be vulnerable and understood, to seek the artifact of happiness she long sealed. Just how much longer... She pleaded silently, knowing it was futile after all. But perhaps...a certain blonde traveller and his floating fairy heading her way could answer her calls...

(Story on-going) Blessed by death, she should have remained undisturbed. To the Titans, she was a miracle; to the people of Amphoreus, a curse condemned to isolation. As death's chosen vessel, she performed her duty quietly, each soul she touched slipping gently into eternal sleep, leaving her to weep silently. Burdened by countless departures, she withdrew into solitude, relinquishing hope of human warmth-until she encountered a man carrying the Stellaron within him. In each other, they saw reflections: one embraced by death, the other marked by destruction.

Basically similar to the Genshin Reaction story. This time with the HSR cast with the Caelus main focus. (Caelus X Harem) Hope you all enjoy and remember do not take this story too seriously.

If you have played star rail and any part of 2.0 you know what's going on. This story picks up at the end of 2.1 and was written when before 2.2. This will probably ship Firefly And Caelus.

Penacony, A megapolis where people go to strive for their dreams. Indeed it's the ideal city anyone would want to go. The bustling lights permeating in the shadow of the night. The beautiful chimes of Harmony whistles accomodating the night lights. Here lived a young female student whom's name is Firefly. She lives with her parents in this beautiful city whom we're adopted, by the Iris family when she was young. Witness her school life, as her life was unknowingly twisted by a string of fate, as she meets a certain person that will shake her life. For the better or the worse.

(Story Completed) In the starlit festivities of Penacony, she meets Caelus, a figure shrouded in mystery who shines as a beacon into her enduring night. He was her light, and she was his darkness-each the counterbalance to the other in a destiny long written in the stars.

Caelus should've realized he somehow attracted multiple females to him sooner...

"Have you ever thought about settling down?" "I do, but I just feel it's not the time for me to make a decision yet" ......................................................................................................................................................................... A fanfic where Aether is given a spoiler. I mean, SOME spoilers to the future. As well a surprise given to the people of Teyvat.

Aether had just finished saving Fontaine from the prophecy and has also helped Furina in her performance and acted as an emotional support. But the continued quests have worn him out emotionally and mentally as he vents his frustrations. But it seems like he doesn't have to keep his feelings hidden as some take notice of his feelings as they seek to repay him for his help.
