The Spark [Xiao x Aether] by Eggedd

Figuring out what feelings really mean is difficult. Especially for those who were never born with them. Xiao and Aether embark together on a journey to find out what it all means. Love, hatred, jealousy, happiness, anger, regret...what does it feel like? by the time you're reading this, there's a huge chance that some chapters haven't been uploaded yet. I plan to work on this fanfiction for months or possibly even years and I expect it to be very long. Some chapters MIGHT include archon/story quest spoilers from the game the main characters are from, so if you haven't played through the game I suggest you don't read it just yet. (Also small detail, the story is set in the timeline after Aether found lumine and they decided to stay in Teyvat for the rest of their lives, therefore this story is fanfiction on what happened afterward with Aether.)

The Winds Bring with them Change (Volume 1) by SpoopySpells_n_Stuff

Xiao had never known freedom. He has always had someone behind him, controlling his every move. Even when under contract from Morax, he was not free. He struggled his way through decades alone and in pain, hating himself more every day he awoke to his accursed state. Too afraid to inform his Lord about his worsened state, he deals with dangers to Liyue alone until a blonde traveler appears in his life and refuses to leave. After bad things happen relating to his Karmic Debt, his Lord frees him, and he is left to a choice. Continue his path to destruction, or search for freedom with an ex-Archon and the blonde traveler. Word Count: 67,658 AN: This is a polyam ship of Venti Xiao and Aether, so don't like, don't read Ig. While this is polyam, VenXiao is more love at first sight, whilst AeVen and Xiaother are more slowburn. The first three chapters are simply for context, and completely skippable if you've played through Liyue's archon and Xiao's story quests. Also, I'm using Aether instead of Lumine because he's the traveler I picked.
