"What if we have to fight Fate herself?"
Xiao is the last surviving Yaksha sent to protect Liyue. Painfully bound by the burning threads of karma, he struggles to escape the demons that constantly hold him back from turning a new leaf.
When he comes across a frustratingly persistent warrior named Akira who can immerse herself in the emotions of others, he experiences something unlike he has ever in over
2,000 years.
Their fates become hopelessly intertwined as they battle against the relentless onslaught of Fate. But Fate has more in store than they could possibly be prepared for..

DO NOT COPY. this is my original work, and I don't care about the reasons you present for copying anything from here. Sharing is great, it's appreciated, but copying is something different altogether.

that said, happy reading! updates should be fairly regular, too :)
•
contains swearing and sexual innuendos, not recommended for minors.

I do not own any of the characters here, save for Akira, Kira, Toru and Chia. They all belong to Genshin Impact.

Seven divine adepti remain after the Archon War. Two of them, the Conqueror of Demons and the Preserver of Silence, reside in Wangshu Inn under Morax's contract. Life is peaceful for the time being, but what happens with a deathly water god reawakens and almost destroys the city?

Note:
- Previously named ethereal
- This is not a romance story. Feelings for the main characters are implied, but they aren't really built upon until the very end.
- This story is tied in heavily with the liyue lore/archon quests, I'd recommend you to not read this if you don't want spoilers.
- There is a bit of Childe x reader, past childe simp me really needed to satisfy herself lmao
