Basically a story where I put my own spin on what takes place in Inazuma. still the same story, but told in a different manner (with some extra splashes of originality).
This story is slow, but with reason. I want to create a plot that is built off of time and plausiblity, in attempt to avoid the story feeling rushed, super "jumpy", or cringy even. I'm trying to keep the end goal in mind, building the plot up to that point. But there will still be romantic or fluff spots early on to satiate those reading.
Also this is not a Ayaka x Reader. Aether is the traveler, yes; but, he is not the reader/player. Aether will have a personality that could differ from that of the reader. Additionally Lumine will be the abyss ruler in this story for plot reasons.
18+ (I doubt this will have any thing riskae, but 18+ just in case).
This story will begin shortly before the departure of "The Crux Fleet", which means Ayaka may not be in the story right away. HOWEVER; I may skip around some parts of Inazuma (if they aren't relevant to the plot I'm creating).
Some details may differ from what is Canon (mostly because this isn't a copy pasta, it's an story I want to convey with originality, but still try to make it seem as a "plausible" canon.
This story probably won't get updates consistently since I have my priorities set on the other story I have written. That and Innuzuma isn't completely out yet, so there's more story to be told. I don't want to diverge too far from the canon story
THINGS ABOUT THE WRITTING:
Please don't tell me how to write my own story. I don't mind constructive criticism or recommendations; but, please don't tell me how I should do things, at least not often or in an annoying way. Feedback is nice, but back seat writing isn't.
Don't spam me to write new chapters either, it won't make them come any faster. Each chapter takes many hours to write, I don't have much free time. A chapter or two a week is to be expected
Thanks, hope you can enjoy!
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.)
