Summary
“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?”
◊
Xiao's Backstory, from being enslaved and tortured to losing everyone he cares about; and the subsequent Story of how he finds healing in a certain Outlander. Angst ensues and relief follows.

Summary
"Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”
Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.
Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?
Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.
And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

Summary

A lot of soft family feels with the Wangshu Inn staff and Xiao where everyone's favorite grumpy adeptus confronts centuries of trauma with his supportive found family helping him out.- Language:

Summary
Xiao looked up from his phone, raising an eyebrow. Okay, she had to be new. There was no way she couldn’t be. The rumors and secrets that had surrounded him in recent years would have been enough to drive off anyone. He was known for his destructive nature. It was the simple truth. It was… strange to not be held in such a regard. He was also acutely aware of all the inquisitive looks the two of them were getting. Apparently, he wasn’t the only one with this train of thought.
“What’s your name?” He asked, resting his head on his hand.
“Ah—Lumine. What’s yours?”
“Xiao.” Maybe his name would trip some triggers in her brain, telling her to stay away and run.
He watched as something did register with her, but the reaction he got hit him in his blind spot. “Oh, you’re the music major everyone keeps talking about, right? That’s really cool, what kind of music do you write?”
That was not what he was expecting.
----
Xiao is the academy delinquent, and Lumine is the newbie with a smile like the sun. Like a moth to the flame, he finds himself being pulled to her, despite his fears that she'll leave him like the rest.Series

Summary
Tartaglia believed he had been killed at the battle in the Golden House. Yet, somehow, he wakes up to find a piece of yellow paper written in an ancient Liyuen script stuck on his forehead.
And for some reason... He feels compelled to obey orders from the child who works at Bubu Pharmacy.
(A Qiqi and Tartaglia centred fic. Other tagged characters and relationships get very substantial screentime too.)

Some Coincidentally Spawned Gaggle of a Family (And Then We Chose to Keep It) by BeyondTheClouds777
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
23 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
Life is rough. Family is rough. Hardship zeroes in on five stragglers in particular—Xiao, Kaeya, Aether, Childe, and Zhongli, a group of individuals who looked at each other one day and said, “Hey, we all need somewhere to live and none of us have money. That’s, like, a whole two things we have in common. Let’s get an apartment together.”
So they did. Five of life’s travelers, each with their own unique set of baggage. It goes well. They get along just fine. And, hey—sometimes family is you and your four circumstantial roommates, and sometimes that’s enough.
Then, when Xiao’s health begins to spiral (because life is nothing if not unsatisfied), it doesn’t take a village: it takes a family of five and of choice. They’ll laugh through the best, plough through the worst, and they will make it.
They will.
(They must.)

Summary

Summary
It's stupid. He knows he should've stayed in the car, knows he might've hurt himself a lot worse by dragging himself out of the wreck to lie on the ground, bleeding out faster, but it's hard to think through the panic, hard to think through the pain, hard to think at all.
The sky is grey above him, splatters of rain coming down from the clouds, little pinpricks of cold on his exposed skin, shaking him to his core.
I'm going to die, he thinks to himself and he wants to cry.
(This story is almost a re-telling of the game except Connor is human and works alongside Lieutenant Anderson to figure out the source of deviancy.)
