    Summary

    “Aether and I aren’t dating, though.”

    Everyone looks at him, their expressions mirroring his.

    “What do you mean,” Yanfei asks slowly, putting her cards face down on the table, “when you say ‘you and Aether aren’t dating’?”

    Xiao watches her fold her hands together in front of her as if she’s getting ready to hear his defense in a mock trial and take serious mental notes. “Exactly that,” he says.

    There’s a short silence, and then Ajax says, “Wooooow.”

    “I’m sorry, I thought — I’m sorry,” comes Ganyu’s sheepish apology. “I just assumed.”

    “It’s fine.” And really it is, because it’s not the worst assumption to be made about him, and he’s had to dispel this kind of rumour before.

    Summary

    “As you can see, I am completely blind,” Kazuha said. “It’s a recent development, and while I have adapted quicker than most, there are still things I struggle with.”

    “I suppose I could hire you a servant,” Scaramouche said.

    “No,” Kazuha said. “I don’t want or need a servant. Instead, I want you.”

    He succeeded in catching Scaramouche completely off guard. “Me?” he said, now starting to be on edge.

    Kazuha smiled. “Yes, you. I want you…to be my scribe.”

    ~~~

    Kazuha is injured in the Inazuma War, which leaves him reeling and unsure of what to do next. And then the Sixth Harbinger shows up.

    Summary

    “Why exactly are you picking fights with a stranger?” Childe asks, watching his friend incredulously as he writes something on a purple sticky note. He continues, “and in the public board, of all places.”

    Scaramouche rolls his eyes at him. “I am not picking fights with whoever this is.” He puts the cap back on his pen before tossing it to Childe, who manages to catch it somehow. “Plus, you’re the one who suggested that I write on this board. I am simply doing it.” He gives him a sickeningly sweet smile.

    “You make me sick,” Childe groans. “I said you could rant on this board with your hideous handwriting instead of going on a punching spree, I still feel bad for your bathroom walls by the way, not annoy a stranger and pick fights with them.”

    Scaramouche shrugs. Childe tries to calm himself.

    (where scaramouche finds himself responding to the odd notes left behind by someone with sarcastic remarks and perhaps finding someone to bicker with.)

    Summary

    Once upon a time, it is said, dragons were creatures of magnificence and victory and prosperity, creatures whose arrival could have a kingdom celebrating for weeks on end. But after a thousand years of disasters and legends shrouded in mist, dragons have become little more than specters of death, and those unlucky enough to find themselves living in one's shadow would do almost anything to step out into the sun. Even if it meant sacrificing one of their own.

    It is fate that Aether and Lumine, twins marked by calamity, are the first to be captured when a dragon descends upon their village and demands a bride. It is chance that Aether is chosen over Lumine when the sacrifice finally arrives. Resigned to a short world of pain before violent death, Aether’s only comfort is that Lumine might still have a chance to safely live on without him.

     

    Then he actually meets the dragon, with its warm scales and amber eyes. And as the seasons turn and change, he finds himself daring to hope for just a little more after all…

    Summary

    His hair bore streaks of teal among the black and Aether could see the sharpness of fangs as he bared his teeth at them. But what was most striking were his amber pupils glowing like gemstones in a sea of black sclera, and the beautiful, enormous wings behind him that glinted a dark teal-gold in the dim light, battered and one of them seemingly broken.

    --

    Secret Agents & Spies AU - Aether rescues Xiao from a fate worse than death and together, they begin a journey of healing where Xiao finds comfort, trust, and love along the way.
