A Xiao x Aether with angst ;3 If you don't like it you can leave, no one is going to force you to read this. Simple really, everyone has their own thoughts on their own ships. This one is mine with my own twist of each character's personality. Aethers personality being that of my own creation. That meaning that I'm basically creating my own personality with the traveler, my own backstory for him. Along with my view on how he would act as if I were him (you know what I mean?) Basically, Aether is sick both mentally and physically, will Xiao and Paimon be able to help while Aethers mind goes crazy? Read to find out more ;) Disclaimer: The following story is for storytelling purposes only. Meaning most of what happens in this book is not true Also, the story indicates some self-harm, I may forget to add a warning so please be prepared before reading. The story is also a slowburn, my favorite kind of book hehe. Start: 8/8/22 End: 1/3/23 I do not own these characters this is just a fanfic Characters belong to Genshin Impact I do not own the covers drawing, found it off Pinterest. The cover is done by cw9sq, I hope I got that right.

"In my arms, you are safe." this story contains - Fluff - Slight Smut - Angst - Death - Intense Moments more warnings will be listed in the 1st chapter I will not be setting a designated chapter reach, as I don't know how long I will continue on with this story, as my motivation lacks much. This is a Xiaoaether story/comic if you perhaps dislike this ship, please do not read, and don't give me any hate for it if you do decide to read it, it's what I chose to write, and you should respect it, but if you like any other ship in genshin impact with either aether or lumine, please suggest it to me and I might make a separate story for so! <3

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.

In the vast and vibrant world of Teyvat, Aether and Paimon's journey leads them to an unexpected encounter with Miru, a seemingly ordinary girl whose presence seems to stir something ancient. With no elemental powers of her own, Miru carries a mysterious aura-a slight flicker of light that no one can explain. As they travel together, Xiao, a Yaksha, finds himself growing increasingly protective of Miru. His cold and guarded nature begins to soften, and a bond slowly forms between them, though neither fully understands it. On the journey of revealing the truth, Xiao becomes ever more aware that Miru may be linked to something far greater than herself-something powerful and dangerous that stirs from the past. Who is Miru? What is behind her strange flickering light? What secret is she unknowingly tied to? And as Xiao's feelings for her grow, what does the future hold for them both?
