The Winds Bring with them Change (Volume 1)
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.Complete

EN | Beyond the Abyss ♕ Childe x Abyss Lumine
[Genshin Impact - Cʜɪʟᴅᴇ x Aʙʏss Lᴜᴍɪɴᴇ] The story says there are seven Archons in Teyvat, owners of seven Gnoses that link them to the seven thrones in the abode of the gods, Celestia. This immutable tale has been passed down for millennia until it reaches Ajax's ears. He is one among thousands to dream of adventures based on fantastic epics, but he is the only one who can shake the certainties of the universe. When he discovers that the world is not what he thinks it is, his journey will begin after his rescue by Lumine, who will wait until he makes his choice, and decides his side. Will he join forces with his sovereign to counter the threat she represents, or will he turn his back on his peers and make a pact with the Princess of the Abyss, the number one enemy of all the countries of Teyvat ? Fate is underway. His choice will be the element that will determine the outcome of the decisive battle, and of the multi-century revolt. But he must foremost be vigilant not to sink into the growing darkness of his heart. ────────────── Childe-centric.

Sound of Still Water (sanegiyuu)
‼️ warning ‼️ this is an AI generated story. This means it was not created by a human. I made it for fun I was watching some gacha and I got the idea and I was like why not I made it for myself. I don't care if you like it or not don't comment about it being AI. In a world where demons are long gone but emotional scars remain, Giyuu Tomioka-once a silent warrior-is now a mysterious, reclusive singer-songwriter known as "Stillwater." With lyrics like blades and a voice as quiet as snowfall, he captures hearts, even if he never reveals his own. But when the remnants of his past threaten to resurface, can music be enough to save him-or will silence drown him again?Complete
Vertora Saga | Volume One: The Rogue Court
• Book 1 of the Vertora Saga • **Part 1 under editing ** **Part 2 coming soon** Haunted by a stolen past and hunted by a ruthless Unseelie court intent on transforming humanity into an army of darkness, Amaris battles through a war-ravaged world with only a fugitive vampire and a band of misfits as her allies, determined to reclaim her memories and protect humanity from a monstrous fate. *** Two years. That's how long Amaris has wandered the war-ravaged Frozen Plane, haunted by memories she can't reach and a power she doesn't understand. With monsters lurking in every shadow and Unseelie patrols tightening their grip since the Rogue Court's invasion, survival is a battle--and the ones hunting her aren't just after blood. They want what lies dormant within her. When a skirmish forces her path to cross with Mordecai--a brooding vampire with a blade in his hand and vengeance in his veins--they strike a reluctant alliance. He's chasing the ones who butchered his coven and broke his brother's mind, but the deeper they travel together, the more their paths entwine. As the Frozen Plane trembles under the threat of war and ancient powers begin to stir, Amaris is running out of places to hide. The Unseelie are closing in. Her past is clawing to the surface. And the vampire she shouldn't trust might be the only one willing to bleed for her. The truth is coming, the kind that tears worlds apart. And when it does, Amaris will have to choose: run from the fire...or become it. ❍ Fae Courts ❍ Steampunk ❍ Slow Burn Enemies to Lovers ❍ Dystopian Urban Fantasy ❍ Word Count: 143,479 (On Hold, Editing in Progress...) ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ Numenverse year: 1340 2025 © Tate CsernisComplete
