Summary
“Call out my name. Adeptus Xiao. I will be here when you call.”
He truly had considered calling his name so many times during this journey. He thought of it while lying on the floor after being spat out of the Plane of Euthymia when he intervened for Thoma, body shaking and trembling with the aftershocks of divine lightning. He thought of it curled up in Watatsumi Island while helping out with the resistance and through the endless fighting. He thought of it while he lay curled up after Teppei’s death, quivering with heart-wrenching sobs that Paimon could do nothing about.
IN WHICH aether comes home from inazuma and he isn't the same

Summary
But Kaveh was a creative person and this project would allow him to express all of that creativity. In all honesty, he’d been working on the blueprints for years now, perhaps since his Akademiya days. New drafts would be made whenever he had a new idea and there was an entire folder in his room, tucked safely under the bed, filled with all the previous iterations of the house.
The house was to be an amalgamation of everything Alhaitham had ever expressed he liked. Kaveh was a talker, he tended to go on long tangents about anything and everything he held even the most remote interest in; everyone knew it, most of all Alhaitham who was the one subject to these rants. However, despite Kaveh being a talker, he liked to listen when Alhaitham talked as well.
IN WHICH kaveh designs a house - a love letter of sorts - for alhaitham

Summary
“I’m sorry, we don’t have any Kaeya Ragnvindr’s here!” Barbara screeched shrilly, spreading her arms even wider. Kaeya jolted at the sound of that familiar surname attached to his name, for it hadn’t been for many years. After Diluc left, Kaeya returned to his former surname, Alberich.
“I can see him!” Diluc practically snarled, his lips drawn back and his red hair a mess tied back in a low bun.

Summary
But Kaveh is away, so there is no smell of coffee permeating the kitchen, there is no warm body behind him embracing him and no one to ask if he slept well and make idle small talk in the early hours of the morning with the light of the sun filtering through, surrounding them in a golden haze that feels almost ethereal.
IN WHICH alhaitham misses kaveh
OR WHERE alhaitham is just pathetically down bad and so in love (he's just a man!)

Summary
“Lynette’s not here.”
“Aether?” Came a screech before the door opened, revealing Lyney on the other side clad in a pair of pyjamas with his hair ruffled and missing his signature hat. He didn’t even have shoes on. “Am I dreaming?”
“You’re awake.” Aether replied, amused. “But the fact that you have to ask means you’ve been awake far too long.”
“You’re here.” Lyney reached out to poke Aether’s cheek, tanned from the Natlan sun, with his own pale one, startling at the warmth emanating from the traveller. “You’re actually here.”

Summary
Nothing about the war had left him in a good state mentally and he knew that the case was the same with most if not all of the citizens in Natlan. War left its marks on everyone, made a victim of any whom it touched and Aether was no exception. He would never forget the horrors he’d seen, all the people and Saurian’s he had seen die and all the destruction he failed to prevent.
He just needed to rest.
And so began his journey home (to Xiao).

“Wish we – we could’ve been brothers again.” Kaeya’s smile finally appeared on his face, a smile Diluc hadn’t seen since they were kids. It wasn’t his usual smirk, nor the charming one he always used to get information out of people. No, this was the wistful smile that was always accompanied by wonder-filled eyes; the one Kaeya always wore when he was little.

Summary
Xingqiu frowned, leaning his chin on the palm of his head and thinking back. It was true that Chongyun was very indulgent with Xingqiu, in a way he wasn’t with anyone else, not even Xiangling. He had been so for years so Xingqiu never chalked it up to being anything else. Chongyun was always ready, at his beck and call practically.
If Xingqiu wanted to buy some books, Chongyun would tag along and insist on carrying the massive pile that Xingqiu picked out at the store and lug it all the way home for him. If Xingqiu wanted to spend a few days away from the city and his parents were hesitant despite him being able to protect himself, Chongyun wouldn’t hesitate to volunteer himself and his claymore to protect Xingqiu.
IN WHICH xingqiu realises chongyun is in love with him and his world is flipped upside down

Summary
“If you think I’m going to let you deal with those vultures alone, you’ve really let yourself go, Senior.” Alhaitham never really called Kaveh that these days, he only pulled it out in very rare occasions; when he was being a brat, Kaveh thought.
“Hey!” Kaveh frowned, catching Alhaitham’s arm before he could leave the room and tugging him down to press a kiss to his cheek. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Alhaitham said mildly, pointing a finger at his lips. “If you’re really grateful, you’ll give me another one.”
“Go shower, brat.” Kaveh rolled his eyes, pushing him away and returning to the mass of clothes he had gathered on the bed to begin sorting through them.
IN WHICH haikaveh are terribly domestic and so in love

“Would you… have room for one more during your travels?” Xiao asked, stiltedly.
“Really?” Aether gasped, turning to look at Xiao with wide eyes. “You want to come with me?”
“I… dread saying goodbye to you. I dread even more watching you go somewhere with no one to watch your back, where I cannot communicate with you or visit you or see you. I never let myself leave Liyue for fear of abandoning responsibilities or my nation.”

Summary
“But I lied to you.” Kaeya whispered, sounding so much younger for a second.
“That doesn’t matter!” Diluc shook his head. “I – I should have reacted better. I shouldn’t have even thought of raising my blade, of using my Vision, Archons Kaeya.”
“It’s okay.” Kaeya was quick to say. “I – it’s fine.”
“It really isn’t.”
“I’m telling you it is. It’s… it’s been years. Forget it.” Kaeya twisted himself out of Diluc’s grip and finished his drink. “It’s been years.” He repeated, sounding choked.

“I yield.” Xiao said as his golden eyes met Aether’s amber ones, breathing heavily.
“Well fought.” Aether murmured, withdrawing his sword a little as he leaned closer to Xiao’s face, his tongue sticking out to swipe across his lips.
Xiao gulped.
“You weren’t holding back, were you?” Xiao asked in a voice just as low.
“I wouldn’t dream of it.” Aether’s mischievous grin softened into a fond smile. “Thank you for that, Xiao.”
“Anytime.” Xiao replied.

Summary
He didn’t realise it was a dream at first; awaking to a field of pretty white flowers skin to the ones his sister wears in her hair but not quite the same. It was as though someone tried to replicate them but only through fragmented memories or word-of-mouth and missed the details. In hindsight, that should have been the first clue that something was wrong but every alarm bell ringing in Aether’s head silenced at the sight of a familiar blonde head.
IN WHICH dottore knows what aether's weak spots are

“I got something coming up… kinda big. You know that new museum that just opened in Fontaine?”
“The one they built near Lumidouce harbour?”
“That’s the one. They’ve got a ton of Sumerian and Natlanese artifacts in there and we all know how those came into their hands.”
“Of course.” Aether nodded, taking another sip of his drink.
“My team and I simply want to rehome them to hands that should have owned them in the first place. I hear you know some Sumerian’s who might want a piece of the loot after.”
IN WHICH mavuika puts together a team to steal natlanese and sumerian artifacts from a fontainian museum

“Ugh,” Aether sighed. “Yeah, I’m nervous. I don’t want to let everyone back home down, you know? I’m the reigning World champion and I have been for the last two years, so it just feels like I have to win this too.”
“You don’t have to win. I know you, Aether, and I trust in your skills so I know you’ll be incredible but that doesn’t hinge on winning or not.” Xiao said gently into the phone.
IN WHICH aether is a figure skater at the olympics

Summary
“It’s all furnished. It was supposed to be for my son when he got married, but he’s refusing to. Says he wants to stay in his tiny flat in Liyue Harbour,” Hanfeng sighed. “It’s going to waste and so is my money maintaining it.”
Aether flushed a little at the realisation that this home was meant for a married couple, thankful it was dark and no one could see his bright cheeks. He’d known though, the second he saw the house, that he was sold on it. It was big enough to comfortably fit more people who might visit, the grounds were empty and perfect for sparring or practicing his abilities and the fact that it was furnished only sealed the deal.
“I’ll take it.”
