Yet, just beneath the surface, Aether struggles with his own insecurities and tragedies, and nobody will leave this unchanged.
Two boys and one girl, love and loss, come together in a spectacular way.

The Spark [Xiao x Aether]
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.)Complete

"I wish you wouldn't be so suicidal. It's bad for Klee." Albedo said, dragging his pencil along the sketch. Albedo ignored Kaeya's scoff, continuing on. "You needed to move on. Master was right that you were clinging to the past." "Don't tell me what I needed." Kaeya hissed. "The Abyss is on our doorstep now, whether we like it or not." "You needed to let Khanri'ah die." "I needed you." - The Calvary Captain cannot outrun the consequences of the Cataclysm forever. The Traveler is missing and the Call of the Abyss grows stronger by the day. Fuck what everyone else says. If you ask Kaeya, a healthy dose of cynicism and emotional avoidance are valid ways to cope with juggling an ex-soulmate, estranged brother, and outlander running their mouth about "Prince Kaeya."

"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.

Dimensional Impact: Adventures In Teyvat (Mondstadt)
Three gaming best friends fulfill their greatest destiny as Teyvat's mightiest explorers as they travel with the Traveler, Lumine and her guide, Paimon around on a quest to discover the secrets of each of the Archons in Teyvat while also helping Lumine find her lost brother. Throughout their journey they'll discover their true potential, friendship, and best of all romance. What wonders hold these five friends as they start their journey in the City of Freedom, Mondstadt? TheNintegaGuy: *sighs* The greatest and most expansive gacha game is being written here right in the palm of our hands, guys. Jordanwolfboy9743: I feel like I'm ready for this, but at the same time I'm both nervous and scared for what we have to show in this book that we are writing. Shadowlight2784: Well, let's be honest, Nintevitus, Wolfitus, and Lightitus combined is basically just a death wish for entertainment. I mean, you can't find much content where all of our ideas spark at once. Jordanwolfboy9743: Well, except Savior of CHS... Shadowlight2784: That doesn't count since that's MLP and we all joined in later. I'm talking about from start to finish, our ideas cook up probably the best kind of collab book anyone has ever seen. TheNintegaGuy: He's right. My creative action scenes, Jordan's comedic and fanservice ideas, and Shadow's paraphrasing is all what makes stories like these amazing. Can't wait to showcase all of them at once during this story as I don't feel like they're going to disappoint one bit... Oh, who am I kidding? We NEVER disappoint. Disclaimer from Paimon: This story is a work of fiction. Paimon along with Lumine and all of the characters used in this book belong to Mihoyo.
