"Whenever I'm with you" - Xiao x Aether || GENSHIN IMPACT
Xiao has been going through some tough times, until he met his former classmate, Aether. He got comfortable with him pretty quickly, but later on he notices he's been catching strange feelings around him. Will he take his chance, or let it go and forget about them? === [TW]: there will be mentions of the following: fighting, suicide/suicidal thoughts, depression, panick attacks, drinking, threatening, manipulation, angst, mentions of gore, hallucinations, self-loathing, and topics along those lines. It's not too heavy in my opinion, but read at your own risk. There will be no NSFW shown. This is a modern AU about Xiao dealing with his crush and his depression, but other POV's will be shown. I'm not English. I apologize if there's spelling errors or weirdly constructed sentences. I don't own Genshin Impact, nor the characters used in this story. I got the cover from art of @man_goose on twitter! https://twitter.com/man_goose?t=V0jqoydMnriSbYkWdQ1Yww&s=09 COMPLETED May 1st 2022 - September 19th 2023Complete

Never expecting to have a child, he agreed, but he would come to regret that decision for the rest of his life. Now, you return to Liyue for a mission after being summoned by the very man who ruined your life before you were even born. Painful memories resurface as you're forced to face the past you tried so hard to ignore, as well as the Adepti you never wanted to meet, and the god you hoped to never see again.

The Spark [Xiao x Aether]
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.)Complete

The Winds Bring with them Change (Volume 1)
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.Complete
