Born into a family of musicians, Aether is known as a musical genius, but never recognized by his father because of the lack of emotions in his music.
In order to overcome this shortcoming, Aether began to study up on Atlas, a musician who's known for showing an abundance of emotions in his works.
Who would've thought that halfway into the book, he fell asleep and finds himself waking up 200 years back in the past. Is this expressionless man with rusty piano skills standing before my eyes really the legendary Atlas?

"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. 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 2023Complete
I'll Be Here
"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 TwitterComplete
In The Midst of Snow
Following the death of Xiao, Aether went back in time with the help of Lumine to fix things up. But in trying to avoid getting caught by the unknown god, Aether was sent way too much back in time and met a boy named Alatus, who was stuffing his face with snow.

Genshin Impact: The Amazing Aether
Aether was captured by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and is now stranded in the world of Teyvat. A common starting to the story of the traveler, however this one is a bit more different than the usual. As in this one, Aether will be more competent as he will use the skills and knowledge he accumulated on his vast journeys to his advantage in this new world. This is the story of the powerful and amazing traveler, Aether! A/N: So this is my new book. I have been playing Genshin for 3 years now and one thing I noticed is that there aren't many Aether centric fanfics. Usually they are just shipping fanfics, not that I don't enjoy them. Also, it is known that Aether and Lumine have seen stars being born and die, and were said to have travelled a lot. As such, their performance in Teyvat is a bit lackluster. Even if their powers have been sealed their knowledge and memories are still there (don't know about the sibling part) and their bodies aren't that weak. Yet they manage to be defeated again and again. I like Aether as I chose him but his skill set in the game is not that great and he has great potential for power, Navia's story quest can show us that. And so I aim to show that by writing this fanfic. This is a Aether x Harem fanfiction by the way. Enjoy.

But to Aether, the last thing he wants is a useless travel partner who will drag down his mission to find his sister. However, there's something about you that piques a curiosity in him he's never felt before.
