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.)

EN | Beyond the Abyss ♕ Childe x Abyss Lumine
[Genshin Impact - Cʜɪʟᴅᴇ x Aʙʏss Lᴜᴍɪɴᴇ] The story says there are seven Archons in Teyvat, owners of seven Gnoses that link them to the seven thrones in the abode of the gods, Celestia. This immutable tale has been passed down for millennia until it reaches Ajax's ears. He is one among thousands to dream of adventures based on fantastic epics, but he is the only one who can shake the certainties of the universe. When he discovers that the world is not what he thinks it is, his journey will begin after his rescue by Lumine, who will wait until he makes his choice, and decides his side. Will he join forces with his sovereign to counter the threat she represents, or will he turn his back on his peers and make a pact with the Princess of the Abyss, the number one enemy of all the countries of Teyvat ? Fate is underway. His choice will be the element that will determine the outcome of the decisive battle, and of the multi-century revolt. But he must foremost be vigilant not to sink into the growing darkness of his heart. ────────────── Childe-centric.

"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.

"He would do anything what's in his power to protect traveler, even if it meant to forbid himself to see him, touch him, feel him.

EN | An encounter she will never forget | ᴄʜɪʟᴜᴍɪ
Tears flow without her being able to hold them back. She shouldn't have grown attached. This, she only discovered until it was too late. Now that the bonds are firmly in place, will she have the will to break them with her own hands? They say ignorance is bliss, but can one still be happy after realizing that this man she is infatuated with is her enemy without any free will? After realizing that he is just a fragile mortal while she travels through the eons? After realizing that no matter what happens, there will always be an excruciating end to this relationship? Mortals are selfish, as Childe has proven to her so many times. But do near-gods have the right to be as well? Lumine has never wanted to answer this question so much in her life, and it is finally Childe who gives her the much desired answer. "I will prove to you that even you have the right to happiness."

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
