Figuring out what feelings really mean is difficult. Especially for those who were never born with them. Xiao and Aether embark together on a journey to find out what it all means. Love, hatred, jealousy, happiness, anger, regret...what does it feel like? by the time you're reading this, there's a huge chance that some chapters haven't been uploaded yet. I plan to work on this fanfiction for months or possibly even years and I expect it to be very long. Some chapters MIGHT include archon/story quest spoilers from the game the main characters are from, so if you haven't played through the game I suggest you don't read it just yet. (Also small detail, the story is set in the timeline after Aether found lumine and they decided to stay in Teyvat for the rest of their lives, therefore this story is fanfiction on what happened afterward with Aether.)

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

[SPOILERS; this goes based on my current progress in Genshin Impact aka waiting for Fontaine LOL; Xiao please come home :')] [FAN THEORY] [Xiao x Aether] Adeptus Xiao's encounter with Traveler Aether has left him uncertain. Having always suffered with his karmic debt and darkened thoughts, Xiao finds a strange warmth whenever Aether is around. Now he's left to wonder, is there truly a such thing as salvation?

ლ(' ❥ 'ლ) You pretty much get isekai'd and wake up as a slime in the world of Teyvat. But not in the way you, Y/N expected. This takes part after all the drama in Mondstadt.
