Summary
Roxas has been able to see ghosts for as long as he can remember. There was once a time when they were his friends even, but now. Now the sight of them glowing, beautiful and haunting, leaves him panicked and his mind breaking like the ocean waves that break onto the beach.
He’s spent his life the weird kid who stared at the corner of the room or talked to himself when he thought no one was looking. But that’s behind him now. He’s moved to the coast to be near his brother, Sora. Away from all that has haunted him, looking for that fresh start that he’s been needing for so long-
Only to find himself rooming with a ghost in his new apartment.
It’ll take some time, but he’ll be fine.
Eventually.
-or- Roxas' inner growth starts the moment he meets a dearly departed soul. There's love, there's dreams, there's power, especially in growth. And one day, he'll have to wield that power to overcome the obstacles faced before him. Ready or not.
*Now with aaammmazzzing art in chapter 12 ^^*

Summary
Canon divergent. The last thing Roxas remembered was leaving the Twilight Town simulation with the attempt to rejoin Sora's heart. But suddenly he wakes up in a hospital where everyone is telling him that his name is Roxas Strife, a student at Radiant Garden College, alongside his brothers--Sora and Roxas’ twin named Ven. They insist that an accident has muddled his mind and his memories aren't real and that the Keyblade Wars and Heartless existed a thousand years ago.
Roxas doesn't know what's real, but he knows two things for sure.
The first: he has a heart.
The second: for some reason, Axel hates him.
Xion is missing in this world, and it's up to Roxas and Axel to find her. But not everything is as it appears in this new world.- Language:

Summary
What if Zhongli is magically transported to a modern world where Genshin Impact is nothing but a game? What if the first place Zhongli lands in is the cramped one-bedroom apartment of Ajax, impoverished college student and number 1 Zhongli simp extraordinaire?
A slice-of-life story featuring Zhongli trying to navigate his new normal with Ajax acting as his guide (while trying to desperately hide all of his Zhongli merch, including his questionable Zhongli dakimakura).
--
A sort of spin-off from "Entirely Out of Spite" where Zhongli from Genshin Impact 1.0 is transported to Ajax's home (if Ajax had not died). Posted as a big Thank You for the 20k kudoses for Entirely Out of Spite. <333

Summary
“Venti… It’s…” Xiao picked up his phone. “Ten o’clock. Let me smoke first.”
And then Venti was on his bed, which was something he never did because he knew Xiao hated people touching his sheets, and Xiao scowled. “It can’t wait. I don’t want to wait until later to upset you.”
“You’re going to upset me?” Xiao rolled his eyes. “That’s not possible.”
“No, it really is. You’re not gonna like this at all.” Venti crawled up next to him on the bed and got onto his knees. “Listen…”
“Out with it, please.” Xiao picked up the joint from the ashtray and held it to his mouth.
“You’re getting a roommate on Monday.”
And Xiao dropped the joint. “Pardon?”
“I’m really sorry.” Venti fidgeted where he sat, and when Xiao shot forward, Venti flung himself off the bed. “Listen…”
Xiao snarled. “I thought we had an agreement.”

Summary
Upon his thirtieth birthday, Venti discovered he had gained a magical power—he was able to read people’s minds!
Venti wasn’t sure if this new ability was a blessing or a curse.
That was, until he discovered one of his colleagues, Xiao, had a crush on him!
This power was most definitely the best birthday gift he could’ve ever asked for.

Summary
At 22, Diluc only has himself, his anxiety, and a pocket watch inherited from his father that sometimes distracts him from loneliness. Hovering between college and a shitty job, he barely ever rests, and whatever free time he has he spends hunting for the truth about his father’s death.
His life implodes when he is attacked by a strange beast on his way home from work. If it weren’t for Kaeya, a beautiful knight summoned from the past, Diluc would have been monster dinner.
Neither Diluc nor Kaeya know why Mondstadt is suddenly bustling with monsters that hunt adepts of magic, but one thing is sure: they can count on each other.
And they will need to.

Life Of Vile Endearment (Xiaoven) by star (Celestialstar3)
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
A deal is made between a spy, Agent Alatus, namely Xiao, and a serial killer, V.D., otherwise known as Venti Dei.
The deal was simple. As long as Xiao cooperates with Venti and finds the person that he's after, Xiao may finish his mission by taking Venti's life at the end of the deal.
It's very simple.
So what kind of wrong turns does this "very simple deal" take?
And when will they ever accept that their feelings for each other is more than a form of reluctant comradery and partnership?
A Xiaoven fanfic.
The second book of the L.O.V.E. (Genshin Impact) series.
Do note that Genshin Impact and its characters do not belong to me, and all credits goes to their owner, Mihoyo.
(In order to read this fic - as it is a sequel - please read the first book, "Love Of Violence in Embers"!)

I will be a good Villain for the poor Secondary Male Lead! by houseofglassroses
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
04 Sep 2021
Tags
Summary
The Male Lead was disappointing, to say the least. He wasn't exactly unique, a typical brand protagonist. Really, as much as he enjoyed Jean as a strong Female Lead, her choice in men was less than impressive. If he were Jean, he would have picked Diluc instead. Diluc, who risked his life for her countless times. Who took a sword to the stomach for her. Who lept off a cliff to save her from drowning - really, he was such a perfect knight in shining armor. Why did he simply get cast to the side like that!? It was a crime! "Ahh, my poor Diluc..."
'...That's what I said so why, instead of becoming Jean, did I end up in this body instead? The body of Kaeya Alberich -'
Was it because they shared the same name? Because, as the story gave bits and pieces of Kaeya's story, he felt himself relating more to this cannon fodder than the main cast? That he cursed the wasted potential of such a well-built and intricate character? Whatever it was, it didn't matter now. If this world won't let him rehabilitate this character completely, if the story won't move forward if he doesn't play the part, then there's only one thing he can do that can at least keep him alive by the end...
Hug Diluc's leg with all his desperation!

Summary
He put his hands in front of his face. They did not look like hands. He knew this because hands usually had thumbs and less fur. And no claws. He turned it over to examine his palm and found digital pads. Thick, reddish-brown hair covered his…he had to call them paws. There was dirt in them, which made him want to wince. He didn’t think he could wince anymore. He continued his examination of himself and discovered that he was, in fact, a wolf now. Or a dog. It was hard to tell when he couldn’t see his own face.
Diluc returns to Mondstadt, gets turned into a dog (wolf?), and tries to uncover Kaeya's nefarious plan to betray Mondstadt. Unfortunately it's rather hard to do the last one when he's a dog.
His solution? Get adopted by Kaeya.

Summary
Kazuha shot a glare at Xiao, then turned back to Scaramouche with a sigh, the latter not meeting his eye.
“You’re looking for him, aren’t you?”
Scaramouche curtly shook his head. “He’d be an actual dumbass to show up tonight.”
“Isn’t he though?” Xiao quipped. Kazuha gave him another look as the crowd began to grow louder. Scaramouche managed a small scoff at that comment, then strummed a clear chord on his guitar. A cheer came from the audience, and Xiao followed his lead with a few taps of his drumsticks and a heavy foot on the bass pedal.
“He really is,” Scaramouche replied back to Xiao, before turning on his microphone.
“And that’s what I miss the most about him.”

Meet Me Where The Fallen Stars Live by Serenlyss
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Xiao had made peace with the end of his role as an adeptus. He’d been prepared to move on, to build a new life with Aether in the peaceful world they’d worked toward, but when the final battle leads to the deaths of both twins, he’s forced to confront what his life is without Aether and without the need for him to protect Liyue anymore. Two thousand years later, he’s still trying to figure things out when he meets Aether’s reincarnation—a Liyuen mortal with no memory of his past life.
Aether is just a college student, trying his best to work towards his graduation alongside his sister, when strange and ominous dreams start to haunt him. These foreboding feelings are only made worse when he meets a strange man at a history museum, visiting the same exhibit as him: one dedicated to the gods and adepti of years long past. The sense of familiarity he feels from the stranger leads him to seek out the meaning behind his dreams and the secrets hidden beneath them.
