Hot is The Hand that musn't Melt The Ice by K0obub

Summary
Chongyun knows he was born with congenital positivity. He knows evil spirits evade him because he’s overflowing with such an extreme excess of yang energy. He knows what his condition entails; knows what foods to avoid and what days to stay inside, to dress lightly, to shower only in cold water, to practice his breathing exercises consistently. He knows to keep a short lease on his emotions, lest they wrench themselves free of his control.
Knowing is different than accepting things as they are. Of course Chongyun isn't happy the way he is - playing catch up to a goal that never gets any closer, his pace or determination or endurance irrelevant when a lifetime of years has passed without a single sighting of an evil spirit by his own eyes. His failure is chronic, haunting his conscience, and as such doubts regarding his actual abilities have always existed, only ever able to be suppressed, never truly expelled. There’s only so much Chongyun can do to keep a glass filled to the rim with frustrations from flowing over. All it takes, perhaps, is having a question posed that he cannot answer:
Why do you call yourself an exorcist when you cannot exorcize evil spirits?

Summary
“We should get you to a doctor-”
“No, no- no need, I’ll be fine, seriously-“
“Are- are you sure? You’re really hurt-“
Aether lifts his hand to where blood from his nose is running into his mouth. He leans back his head, brain spinning with the sudden movement, pressing his fingers on his nose bridge until he can breathe through the blood clotting it again.
Or.
Aether is no hero. Accused of a murder he didn't commit, forced to flee the nation and live a life he doesn't know how to lead on his own. A hero rises to the challenge and fights for the greater good to the bitter end.
Aether’s exhausted. He doesn’t want to fight even if he thinks he could.

Summary
Zhongli exhales a shuddery breath, enclosing Xiao’s hand in both of his and pressing it against his forehead.
His fingers are cold. Cold and limp, too similar to the many corpses he has held just like this, a hand that’s too small in his, too damaged to hold the spear that’s the instigator for all his torment in the first place, too weak to fight a war for Liyue all alone, a war he’ll never win, a sacrifice he’ll never be acknowledged or even thanked for.
Xiao is the most selfless soul in Teyvat, and he rewarded that selflessness with selfishness and abandonment.

Summary
Cyno had been the one to find him.
In the Sanctuary of Surasthana there was Aether, at the mercy of death's door in the wake of his clash against The Balladeer. The Traveler's always throwing himself in danger's way to protect a world that isn't even his to call home. Now it's his turn to learn to be saved.

Or, just a fic of the part of the Archon Quest where (alternatively) Cyno brings an Injured Aether to get treated by Tighnari. Fluff and angst ahead :,)))
