Summary
In an alternative universe where Xiao and Venti didn't meet again after the latter saved the former and they didn't become close friends, Xiao still often dreamed of the music he heard that night to keep himself sane. The Traveler recruited the archons of Mondstadt and Liyue and they found a way to purge Liyue from the remains of the old gods for good together. Therefore, Xiao is now free from his perpetual burden and obligations, yet not completely of his karmic torment. As the yaksha is lost, not knowing what to do with this newfound freedom and haunted by old memories everywhere, Venti offers a suggestion: what if Xiao traveled back to Mondstadt with him as a tourist to heal his soul and find himself in a fresh place?
This is the story of how the Conqueror of Demons ends up roaming on green pastures in bloom caressed by the breeze, walking down the streets of a carefree city of humans, and even becoming a sporadic member of the Adventurers' Guild and helping . But mostly, this is a story about healing and growth and trust and love. About how he now can dance amid the sea of flowers at the sound of the flute of his beloved, like in his old dreams.

Summary
There’s something horribly, horribly wrong with Venti.
“Deposition,” Zhongli tells him over lunch. “It’s a process in which the wind slows to drop the sediment it carries.”
Xiao frowns down at his almond tofu. “And Venti’s facing this...deposition. Is it like erosion?”
“Similar, but not quite. Perhaps it is simpler to think of it this way -- to the rock, the wind is simply a force that wears it away over time. However, to the wind, the rock is only one stop along its journey. Each time the wind erodes another rock, it carries remnants of that rock as it travels, and the farther the wind reaches, the more pollution and dust it picks up.”
Zhongli blows away wisps of steam from his tea before continuing. “Barbatos is the wind that blows across all of Teyvat. He takes a part of each person he meets with him, but now, he is beginning to lose himself in the midst of all that he has picked up along the way. How much of what’s left is the wind, and how much of it has become polluted with dust?”
In which Venti loses himself and Xiao makes a choice.

Summary
The rain made Venti’s hair cling to his face. With the clouds blocking the sky, there was no shine in those brilliant eyes, nothing but a glassy shimmer to them as the god lost himself to his thoughts. His worries. Xiao hated the sight of it, he looked much nicer smiling.
“Xiao,” he uttered. His voice trembled, and the yaksha wanted nothing more than to hold his face in his hands, tell him it would be okay, grant him the same comfort he provided Xiao with over the years. He did nothing of the sort. “Have you ever even considered visiting me, or have I been more like a roach you can’t get rid of?”
Xiao couldn’t respond, couldn’t find the right words that would fix this. He couldn’t say no, he couldn’t tell Venti that in the years they’d known each other, he hadn’t considered it once.
He couldn’t say it, because it would be a lie.
Or, five times Venti visited Xiao, and one time Xiao visited Venti.

Professor Albedo is no psychologist, but even he knows that parasocial relationships are not inherently unhealthy. They’re perfectly normal. Perfectly perfect.
Just like Aether, his favorite streamer. His favorite student.
Just like this.

Summary
He's prepared for anything.
He's not prepared for everything.It's Thoma. He sits atop a stack of boxes, flipping a coin the way Kaeya taught him. He's older, taller, broader. He's devastatingly handsome. Kaeya's heart stops in his throat and doesn't start again until his foot hits the dock and Thoma is approaching.
He doesn't show any sign of displeasure when his eyes land on Kaeya, and Kaeya is suddenly overwhelmed at the way Thoma's expression brightens. He's... happy to see him.
It's been ten years since Kaeya last saw Thoma.
