angst fanfiction genshin genshinimpact venti xiao xiaoven

This is something of a sequel to 'Falling for You'. If you haven't read that one yet, you shouldn't read this one either.

This story contains spoilers for the early chapters of 'Our Eternity'. There will be a notice at the end of the chapter where the spoilers are revealed over there, so if you're reading that, watch out for it

To this day I still wonder why I wrote this to be so depressing.

After 2000 years of waiting, he finally had it all.
He was happy. For once, he really was.
Just like he had wished for his people to be, he finally felt free.

But why?
Why now?
Why do you need me at a time like this?
Just a little longer.
Just give me a little more time!
Please!

To Bask in a Ray of Sunlight: a XiaoAether fanfiction by Dragencourte

The night sky will never be fully illuminated despite its countless stars. But can one who has lived in darkness dream of a sun? A sun with its light eradicating every chain that prevents oneself to bask in the rays of sunshine. Tormented for years in his past and carrying the burden from the fallen gods for thousands of years, Xiao have never opened himself to anyone. Yet this boy, with such eagerness to help and understand him, extended his hand in his sea of shadows. "I'm always here for you if you need me," Aether said softly- Like the warmth he's been looking for eversince. Will the strong wall that surrounded Xiao's heart crumble as a result of the sunlight? Will he be able to find happiness after suffering for centuries?

White Blood~ (XiaoVen) by notyourdevil66

started: 3/13/22 Finished: 7/14/22 "Said you'd always be my White Blood~ Circulate the right love...~ Giving me your white blood~ I need you right here with me..~" He didnt wanna meet him, he didnt want to get lured in. He was in to see his sister. And the boy lured him in, asking to play a game of connect four with him. What could be the harm? Hes just a guy whos sick. The filtered mask hiding his smile, but his eyes showing that smile. The green eyes, dull. Nearly lifeless, but held very little hope. A oxygen tank (many stickers inculded) at his side, with the tubes that helped him breath. Connecting from his nostrols, across his cheeks, and hooking behind his ears. His beautiful eyes looked at his own, luring him in. He tried not to, truly. He had made a mistake of being lured in. "Play a game with me?" "..Sure.."

Unforgettable Memories | Xiao x Reader by HLycoris

Two souls that were supposed to be separated for eternity. Two hearts that yearn to be together. ~~~~~ Xiao, an adeptus with the title of Conquer of Demons had always been a loner to nearly anyone who had met him. He never wanted to get close to anyone. He never let his heart stay in one place. But little did they know that his heart had belonged to one and only one person until she had died back in the archon war. Ever since that day, he had been plagued with memories and dreams of her. She had been the one that he loved with all his heart. But he never realized it until it was all to late. If only he had realized it sooner. - A Genshin Impact fanfic Xiao x Reader

Star-Crossed [ G. Impact ] by tofumelons

[ 𝙓𝙞𝙖𝙤/𝙁𝙚𝙢!𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 ] After two-thousand years, you got to see the light of day once more. Like the civilization of long ago, your memory was lost like dust along the wind. Xiao had been awaiting your arrival without even knowing. When you showed up on his doorstep bright-eyed and ignorant, he was thrown back into a hole of grief and regret. Your journey together was not an easy one. Friends from the past, battles of new and old, you are forced to remember even the things you wish you could put behind you. ࿐ LOWERCASE INTENDED. ࿐ This was written before the 2.7 Perilous Trails event, so excuse any misinformation. ࿐ CONTENT WARNING: language, suggestive content, violence, death, drinking.

Falling for You by Aviartea

He just stood there, on the edge of the cliff, playing the lyre for hours. At first, I thought maybe I should pull him back. Humans are fragile after all. Falling off a cliff that high would certainly kill one. But I didn't. I got too absorbed in his playing and by the time I looked, I saw him with his back to the cliff. I saw him take a step back, and fall, fall right down into the sea. Just an idea I suddenly had. This is a xiaoven fanfic. If you don't like the ship, don't read it. I do not own the characters, nor the cover art. #1 in xiaoven - 09-03-2022 #1 in zhongli - 01-05-2022

The Wind is Alive - Xiaoven by asteronomical

"Because it's my second favorite place in the world. Stunning, isn't it?" It is. And yet, it still pales in comparison to the apple of his eye. Everything from Liyue, to Mondstadt, to the ends of Teyvat are nothing to the beauty of the god right in front of him. Oceans could never be bluer than the tips of his braids, grass could never be greener than the palette of his clothes, flowers could never be prettier than the cecilia stitched onto his hat. Alatus thinks Barbatos may be mistaken. He says that this cliff is the only place where it feels as though one could pluck the stars straight from the sky, the only place that reaches high enough to the heavens to grasp at the ethereal. But when Barbatos is so close just like this, it feels as though Alatus could pluck the twinkle of stars straight from the azure skies of his eyes, like he could simply reach out and run his tentative touch along the epitome of divine grace. Or: The five times Xiao's outstretched fingers chase the winds and the one time they don't have to.

"Whenever I'm with you" - Xiao x Aether || GENSHIN IMPACT by urLocalWetSock

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 2023

||End It|| Xiao x Reader oneshot by Little_Wolfgirl

Written in second POV Gender neutral You're traveling world to world to complete tasks, yet you don't know who you are or why you're doing this. Furthermore, you had quite the poor memory. These tasks are given by the creator or gods of that world. Should you ever fail, "Heavenly Punishment" shall occur. Upon falling in the new world, you were given the task by Morax. "Your task here is help the Vigilant Yaksha, Xiao, rest." When accepting this task, you were also remembering something. You have been in this world before! Was he safe? Was he well? Where is he now? Where was... Your poor memory could not even remember what he had looked like. However, there was a sense of familiarity you found in Xiao. Xiao also could not understand why he felt the same way.. However, things starts to turn for the worst when you caught a disease that doesn't belong to that world. ------ I couldn't get this story idea out my mind, so I had to write it! This is just my little add onto whatever I know so far that had happened in Genshin. Don't take this too seriously! Just made a few tweaks here and there. For those of you wondering why there's only 1 part and is considered completed, it's because I put everything together from beginning to end of this story in one part. Yes, everything. The reason why is because you won't need to keep flipping through the chapters and keep watching ads along the way. (The pain of just watching an advertisement during an emotional scene or cliffhanger kinda sucks) COMPLETED ✅ 20 CHAPTERS Gender neutral ------ I DO NOT OWN GENSHIN IMPACT AND THE CHARACTERS I DO NOT OWN THE COVER I DO NOT allow reposting. This is all my original work. Don't plagiarize, it's not good :/

''Gods, Adaptus' and Organisations'' a xiaoven fanfiction 🍃 by ventislargesock

Hii! Thank you for clicking on this story! :DD Just so you know, this story has a (not so well written) story line and isn't anything like oneshots! also sorry if I make spelling errors I'm dyslexic (• ▽ •;) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Xiao was having a peaceful time, apart from his karma. Until Zhongli came up with an unexpected visitor. Someone, who he has already known for a couple of years. The two of them meet, but somehow, the young fellow looked like someone Xiao was searching for his whole life. He shrugged it off, but what he didn't knew was the danger of a lurking organisation that was willing to attack.

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.

A New Page { Venti x Reader} by raptorsroyal

Venti and you were best friends since a lifetime. You didn't understand why he stuck with you, you didn't care though, you wanted to stick by Venti until time was up. The both of you did everything together, You both traveled places together, you both bought things together. You both did anything you could to stay by the others side. No matter where you went in Teyvat, Venti would always be there with you. It's the same the other way. You were shy, too timid to talk to anyone else while Venti was bashful and playful with others. You always clung to Venti's sleeves. Until one day, something unfortunate happened that caused you two to separate forever... Started: November 14, 21 Ended: November 18, 21 I do not own you, Genshin Impact, or any of the characters that were shown in the book. I only own the plot and the idea.

Infinite time? by RosellaStar

Ever consider how one thing can change your life in an instant? Ever been faced with the reality that our time isn't infinite? We all have that problem that's a burden on us, a problem if we just faced it our lives would be so much easier, but its a problem that's so hard to tackle, that it's simply easier to push it to the side for now. We go about our lives believing we have plenty of time to fix things and resolve that problem, but deep down we all know that isn't true. That problem is a ticking time bomb where one day it will be too late to fix, yet we are to scared to face that reality so instead everyone goes along with the naive hope that everything will be fine. However one day reality will hit and it will hit hard. You never know when it's going to come knocking; you're never ready for your life to abruptly change but it can happen anytime. For one Diluc Ragnvindr, reality hit him hard! He never expected his life to change that night but when he walked up those tavern stairs, his fate was sealed and the timer had started. tldr: Diluc finds Kaeya poisoned in the tavern and realises he's racing against time t save his brother but also get to reconcile with him.

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.)

Love Bites (Alhaitham x Kaveh) by FungusWithEmpathy

"We're not exactly friends..." Is what Kaveh would say if you were to ask him how his relationship was with Alhaitham. Nobody knew that they, in fact, were living under the same roof despite claiming to not be friends. Nobody knew that they shared intimate moments behind closed doors. Kaveh assumed debt was the only thing forcing him to live with his stubborn roommate, but he would soon come to realise it was the feelings he had begun developing for him. P.S - I RE-READ THIS STORY. I WROTE IT A YEAR AGO AND I ONLY NOW REALISED ALL THE MISCHARACTERISATION AND MISTAKES. SORRY FOR THAT IN ADVANCE OMG -**Cover art by monaop5 on Twitter** -Slow paced story - No schedule for updates as I'm writing for my own enjoyment - Contains smut
