"Eyes like rubies, hair red like fire yet looking at you...why is it you struggle to open up to me?"

Diluc had been returning home late one night from the coast when he spots a sight that sends him into action: A lone girl that had washed ashore. She was such a small thing, but something seemed to be wrong. So not wanting to leave her there to the mercy of the wilderness, he takes her into his care. However, what he was not expecting this girl may just have been ordained by fate, a woman beyond his imaginations that may make him question what he knew...

"Oh Viatrix, how brilliant and radiant you shine, a holy light in the dark so sublime. But what can I do, when the shadows want to consume you, oh goddess so divine?" With the arrival of summer, newly weds, Xiao and Lumine finally take the journey to seek out the Dendro Archon. But in this land that once was the cradle to his tribe, once nurtured by the God of Woods, trouble is stirring. Sumeru, the Nation of Knowledge screams for folly but amongst its pages is something sinister and maybe darker truths. With the Fatui and now Celestia becoming a threat, Xiao has suddenly grown increasingly protective and worried as something seems to be wrong with Lumine after the events of the Chasm and the Abyss Order. What they discover may very well change both their lives for better or for worse. As only more dangers bare their fangs with once again both from the unknown and as the Fatui slither into Sumeru. But can Xiao protect her in this land of jungle and sand? .............................. -WARNING- Contains mature subject matter and topics such as violence, injury, bloodshed, dark themes, mature romance themes, ect. ...............................

- x x - "I've never liked dreaming. No matter what I dreamed of, I could neither control it nor easily escape. But, recently.. it's you that I keep seeing." "..Me? Of all people? Why not Zhongli, or Ganyu?", Lumine asked. She seemed pleasantly surprised, but her tone had a hint of curiosity in it. "I don't know. All my dreams of you are of idle strolls and outings. Every time I awake, I can't help but wonder if I deserve to have such sweet dreams. Even now, I can't find the answer to that question.", Xiao replied. "Well, I'm glad your dreams now are pleasant, at least." Lumine smiled. Her golden eyes shined like topaz under the night sky. "Do you really enjoy spending time with me that much?" "Honestly, I do.", Xiao turned to face her. "Spending time with you is the highlight of my day." Xiao smiled, but it faded just as quickly as it appeared. Lumine looked at him and smiled. Then, she offered him her hand. Xiao looked at her hand, and, although he was a bit hesitant at first, he held her hand. Then, they looked back at the stars. - x x - A story about Xiao and Lumine falling in love, as well as a few peeks into Xiao's past. Just as simple as that. !! DISCLAIMER !!

Teyvat. A mysterious place. But what in the ever loving fuck is happening now? What if two unhinged teenagers decided, to write their own crappy story about this place, new and old characters going through pain, suffering, joy and happiness. Maybe finding love on the way or witnessing a traumatising death. Who knows? Oh, right! We do :) And you will to, all you gotta do is tap the 'read' button. Enjoyy <33 I would like to add, we have a lot planned for this story! For some of you it is a little boring at the beginning but I'd definitely say it's worth reading!! I ask you to give this a chance please :) We started wayy back writing this so now our writing style has improved significantly and it's a lot more interesting!

"Oh Alatus Nemesis, on the wind your feathers of gold, oh so fair, grasp that light in heavens and conquer all that threaten the stars shining brilliant there." A union between Adeptus Xiao and Traveler Lumine is now underway as she finally makes a full recovery from her ordeals. With the arrival of spring, Sumeru, a land famous across Tevyet as the Land of Sages and Knowledge is now in their sights soon. With Lumine just months prior almost assassinated, Xiao has grown increasingly weary for his fiancée's safety. But with a goal and mission in hand as they keep their guards up, they soon begin the decent into Enkanomiya where a hidden truth lies and Lumine's identity unfurls.
