Two souls that were supposed to be separated for eternity. Two hearts that yearn to be together. ~~~~~ Xiao, an adeptus with the title of Conquer of Demons had always been a loner to nearly anyone who had met him. He never wanted to get close to anyone. He never let his heart stay in one place. But little did they know that his heart had belonged to one and only one person until she had died back in the archon war. Ever since that day, he had been plagued with memories and dreams of her. She had been the one that he loved with all his heart. But he never realized it until it was all to late. If only he had realized it sooner. - A Genshin Impact fanfic Xiao x Reader

"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 Twitter

❝ 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚋𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚍.❞ Thousands of years ago, Rex Lapis made a contract with the Tsaritsa: Snezhnaya would ally with Liyue for the duration of the Archon War in exchange for him giving up his first born child to work for her, should he have one. Never expecting to have a child, he agreed, but he would come to regret that decision for the rest of his life. Now, you return to Liyue for a mission after being summoned by the very man who ruined your life before you were even born. Painful memories resurface as you're forced to face the past you tried so hard to ignore, as well as the Adepti you never wanted to meet, and the god you hoped to never see again.

"....You're just like him..." "You even look like... Him.." "I feel like... I'm seeing his ghost...." "...Is it more than just a vessel..?" "I feel like... I'm in the presence of my beloved...

Venti, a highly popular idol in the group 5wirl agrees to a collaboration with rookie soloist Lumine, who is also the younger twin of one of his fellow bandmates. Although being an idol is a fun job, it isn't all that easy. What will this cause between the two idols, and how will they keep it away from the eyes of the public? Hello! I have noticed while trying to find Venlumi fanfics to read that there are not many on ��������, so I decided to make my own! Enjoy! If there are any warnings, I will let you know before the chapter starts. There will be mild swearing in this story, but otherwise it is family-friendly. If you do not like these ships please click away :) Ships (This section may gain ships throughout the story): Venlumi (VentixLumine) Xiaoaether (XiaoxAether) Alberose (AlbedoxSucrose) ! The characters in this story all belong to Hoyoverse, with the exception of Elora, and a few other side characters whos names are not mentioned in the story !

Smut with a plot. I'm horny, don't judge, you're here too ;) TL;DR: Xiao has been answering Lumine's calls, which have been suspiciously date-like. A bond forms. Altered dreams. Slight bondage kink. Edging. After the Chasm, Lumine felt herself falling for this strange, aloof Adeptus. So calm and composed, caring for the people of Liyue, ever vigilant and thankless. She honestly just wanted to help him, ease his pain if she could, same as she would do for anyone who was hurting. She hadn't anticipated actually falling for him. He was unreachable, detached, foreign. But god, did she want him. Tormented by dreams of him kissing her, caressing her. Loving her. Xiao loves Lumine. He has tried to deny it, but he can't. He has accepted this. Accepted his place beside her as her protector and nothing more. He may love her, yes, but the only way he can show it is by being at her side. He cannot allow anything more. He is cursed, filled with evil karma and hate. Should he touch something so delicate, so divine... he would corrupt her, destroy everything that is beautiful within her. He CANNOT let that happen, no matter what torments he endures. She is all that matters.

One day Paimon and Aether encounter a strange monster that looks similar to a lector in the middle of Guili Plains. "Xiao! Thanks Archons your here! Aether was fighting this super scary looking monster and..." "What happended to the Traveller? Nevermind, there's no time for talk. Take him up your room..." -------------------------- not really consistent updates. Cover Art and characters do not belong to me.
