A moment of silence passed between the two, before Barbatos let out a breath. "I accept retribution for my actions. Do what you must."

The Abyss Herald cupped Barbatos's jaw in one large hand, meeting the Archon's sad-almost pitying-gaze. "What I must... I must break you, little archon."

Or: Venti gives himself to save Mondstadt, but his punishment isn't what he expected. Past and present trauma come hurdling back to him as an Abyss plot unfolds and he's kidnapped by the Prince himself. Venti wishes that someone could save him from drowning, but gods can't cry to their followers.

TW: rape, violence, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and possible triggers.

"ANYONE WHO IS INJURED GO TO WINDRISE IMMEDIATELY!! MASTER JEAN WILL TEND TO YOUR WOUNDS" shouted Barbatos to his children. "THE OTHERS, PROTECT THE PEOPLE AT ALL COST!! I will handle this insolent beast." Said Barbatos. Kuni looked at him as if realizing something. "Master.... You aren't planning to sacrifice yourself are you?" He asked. Barbatos gave him a smile, then kisses his head. Just like a mother would do to their child. Then jumping in to fight Durin once more. "MASTER!!" An au where venti trains all the anemos

"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.

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.

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