After giving Rex Lapis his thanks for rescuing him in the Chasm, Xiao is assigned a new task: live leisurely, unburdened by his contract. This novel freedom leaves him grappling to find a new purpose amidst a Liyue that no longer needs him.

Luckily, there are a myriad of people willing to teach him what it means to live like a human.

Or: a continuation of Xiao's Healing Arc™ post-Chasm.

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.

Y/n was able to completely eradicate Xiao's pain as long as she simply stood nearby him, due to this, she became his companion. But soon enough... companionship was not enough for them... - "You make me feel at peace", said the young adeptus as he laid his head in her lap. - (This book is a reader insert so we will be following the story line.)

Not so lifeless anymore, eh? by Seikatsu_Myujirou

emotionless Tartaglia x Zhongli who tries to help him express himself and get a life. Or, Tartaglia has been weighed down from the past since the beginning, Zhongli has to teach him how to feel again (and get a life!!). Also, a heads up, Childe isn't mute in this story. He just doesn't talk like that one quiet kid- There are spoilers in this fanfic btw. More specifically, the archon quest in Liyue. Aka the "Farewell, Archaic Lord" quest and "A/The new star approaches.

Don't leave me || Xiaoven ff by ANonexistentGhost

Morax death left Xiao with nothing to live for in this world. He can't seem to find a reason to stay in Liyue- or anywhere at all. Until a young bard in green crosses his path and teaches him how to smile again. -- Ayo^^ This is mostly out of boredom so don't expect perfect grammar pls hehe TW: mention of suicide All characters belong to miHoYo, all credits of used artwork belongs to the artist. ~1.

Drawn to Xiao and not knowing why.. Everyone has left him, leaving him to have no care whatsoever. His pain is forever and he will always endure it.

He encounters Aether on a sunset day, red and orange covering the sky. "Who are you?" Xiao asks. "I'm Aether, nice to meet you!" Can Xiao love again after his heart was shattered by another?

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.

"I have... Been through a lot." Lumine frowned. "'A lot' seems to be a gross understatement. You're like a walking ball of trauma. Being enslaved and tortured for decades and then losing your whole family and then fighting this endless war, alone, seems to qualify as more than 'a lot.' Maybe more like 'constant suffering.'" "I have a contract, and it's my duty and my honor to fulfill that contract. Even now that you defeated Osial, it's still my job to defend Liyue from the demons that plague it." Xiao rubbed his Vision between two fingers. "I'm the last defender in this invisible war." "Hm." Lumine sighed and rested her chin on her palm, looking up at Xiao with big honey-yellow eyes. "Then who will defend you?" ◊ An interpretation of where the story of Adeptus Xiao begins, what he went through before our time, and where he will end up. Cover art by @tyabasirakk on Twitter
