    Summary

    Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.

    Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.

    It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

    Summary

    Aether thought that he had seen it all- ancient Archons with the emotional maturity of toddlers, Treasure Hoarders with the mental capacity of a disintegrated onion, and enough trauma to last him for three lifetimes. But in Teyvat, where Celestia uses him as their personal play toy, there's really no such thing as catching a break.

    -------------
    Kinich and Aether are assigned a simple commission together but somehow manage to get themselves in another hay-wired frenzy of uncontrolled chaos and need to find a way to save the world. Again.

    or

    "Kinich and Aether accept a commission to investigate a mysterious domain responsible for a string of disappearances—only to find themselves in an uncanny, almost flawless imitation of Teyvat. But something is off. The world bends in unnatural ways, the people they meet act just a little too perfectly, and even familiar faces seem to have forgotten who they really are. As they dig deeper, they begin to wonder: is anything here real? Or is something—or someone—playing with their perception of reality?"

    Summary

    He pauses, as if pondering the idea, before shaking his head. “It’s pitiful,” he says, softly. “It’s…I can’t imagine how painful that must feel.” He watches Mu Qing carefully, as if trying to gauge his reaction.

    He looks away. “Pitiful,” he echoes, his voice strangely hoarse. “Yes.”

    (or: Mu Qing is in love. It is painful, and it is terrifying, but it is beautiful.)

    Summary

    “We came here to break your curse but it’s not really working, is it? Fuck.” Feng Xin lets out a small laugh. He's still staring at the ceiling of the cave, squeezing Mu Qing's fingers. “Well, maybe – wait.”

    Feng Xin flushes as their eyes lock. “I may have to kiss you.”

    "The solution’s not that simple,” Mu Qing hisses. “I’m not even cursed anymore!”

    Feng Xin shakes his head. "That’s just the curse lying. I’ll help you.”
