Summary
In this moment of stasis, she’s back in Las Carreiras. She’s back in the black cobblestones of the Lower Slums, she’s haggling for 5 nickels off a loaf of bread, she’s throwing in an extra charm into Blitz’ pile for free, she’s hearing the familiar creak of the floorboard at the Thieves’ Guild when her heels apply too much pressure on it. She walks past the warmth of the fireplace, the embrace of careless laughter and the smell of booze permeating the air as she makes her way through the crowds, through her people. The cool air dries the sweat clinging to the back of her neck as she climbs up the staircase to her apartment, the one that wasn’t really hers at all.
She’s loved Las Carreiras.
Or, Candy reflects on what love actually means to her.

religion’s in your lips by rainesque for sucrosette

Summary
“You’re not allowed to tease me!” Venti reproached, defensively curling his arms around himself. “That’s my job!”
Xiao bit down a laugh at the sight in front of him. “You’d think a succubus wouldn’t get so ruffled by a throwaway comment.”
Or, the suspicious lack of a mischievous succubus running his patience to the ground makes Xiao come to the realisation that maybe, just maybe, that little minx meant a lot more to him than he'd like to believe.

Summary
‘My Lord… please…’
Xiao’s eyes slipped open. His whole form went stiff, a subtle gesture missed by anyone not looking close enough — not that there was anyone present in close proximity. Which only served in making him increasingly curious regarding the origins of the scent… If his hunch was correct—
‘Sevens, I beg of you… I need you…’
Or, a certain little nymph prays to Xiao, and he can hardly find it in himself to refuse.

Summary
Would that make Xiao a heretic? The yearning to know a God who was not his own? His loyalty belonged to Rex Lapis only and it would never waver — but his heart beat along with the wind, twisting along with every zephyr that would bend to his whims, each time warm gales from the North would act as his wings when even the balms of time could not soothe the scars on his back.
Or, Xiao, a boy, a Yaksha, a lover, and the Wind's gentle embrace becoming something akin to home.

Summary
“Ah— I was merely lost, my Prince!” Venti breathed out, still gently tugging against Xiao’s grip on his wrists. “Surely the good Lord would be kind enough to allow this humble servant to return to his quarters?”
Deciding not to reply, Xiao leaned in even closer instead, close enough for his lips to brush against the dancer’s earlobe as he hummed, “This little mouse does not appear to be as lost as he claims.”
Or, amidst the celebrations and festivities of his birthday, it's all too easy for Prince Xiao to find that little minx of a dancer wholly captivating.

Summary
“What I need,” Venti interrupted, jade eyes sharp with mischief as his hands tugged against the luminescent restraints lining his wrists, the anemo energy of it unyielding, “is for you to release me. Surely Lord Alatus would never be so imprudent as to abduct another Archon’s pet nymph, would he?”
A small growl escaped the Archon at his words, gold eyes narrowing into dangerous little slits as Xiao slowly began to circle him, not paying heed to his struggles against the binds. “Another Archon’s pet nymph, you say.”
Or, Anemo Archon Alatus, God of Oaths, protector of Liyue, and now husband to one of Mondstadt's precious nymphs — or so he claims. The nymph in question appears to need a thorough reminder.

Summary
“Can I ask why he’s passed out,” Aether muttered, wearily eyeing Xiao’s unconscious body. Venti smiled guiltily.
“Well, you see,” Venti began, gently lowering Xiao onto one of the beds in the inn room Aether had rented out, “I, uh, took him to Angel’s Share? Alcohol really isn’t his… strong forte.”
Aether felt an oncoming headache. “Really? The Conqueror of Demons out cold because of some wine?”
Venti fidgeted. “Angel’s Share had a… discount. A couple’s discount, if you will. For Windblume.”
“...And you made him pretend to be your lover,” Aether continued, voice deadpan.
Or, Aether arrives at Mondstadt with a certain Adeptus in tow. Venti is wholly delighted. Multiple shenanigans and a series of misunderstandings later, Venti is compelled to face not only his demons, but also certain feelings he had buried centuries past.

beginner’s guide on how to (not) woo cupid by rainesque for cherotonin

Summary
“What it means,” Hu Tao hummed, “is that if you don’t make a move soon, some other guy — or girl! — is going to pluck him up right in front of your eyes.”
Oh. Xiao’s heart dropped down to his stomach.
She was right. The first time he’d asked Venti how he was so knowledgeable in matters of the heart, the boy had not-so-subtly hinted at having a significant amount of experience in said matters. He didn’t even want to think about the times he’d heard about someone fancying his best friend, let alone the multiple instances where someone had asked Venti out right in front of him.
He had to do something. And fast.
Or, five times Xiao watches his school’s resident Cupid help others find love, and one time he manages to catch Cupid himself.

Summary
The secluded little shrine looked the same as always — five lion statues protectively circling the altar in the middle. And the same as always, five apples sat snugly on top, freshly plucked almost every single day. No one had ever seen who made these offerings, if they were even offerings in the first place, but there would be new apples on the altar each morning without fail.
Until now.
A little ways away, Morax— ah, no. Zhongli watched as the Conqueror of Demons quietly made his way towards the altar, taking refuge under the protective canopy of darkness brought on by sundown. In his hands, he carried five apples.
Or, Zhongli wonders why the fondness shared between the God of Freedom and the Conqueror of Demons was so familiar to him, and reminisces of a time where he had found something similar.

Summary
The rest of Jean’s words faded away when Xiao’s lips wrapped around his throbbing clit and sucked, grabbing his hips and pulling him up for better access. Venti almost yelped, muffling the sound by biting down on the pillowcase last minute, hands scrambling to find purchase against the soiled sheets. Venti whimpered loudly, belatedly remembering he was still on call.
“—nti? Venti, are you okay? No need to be scared, we can deal with this—”
“Jean,” Venti gasped, “I’m gonna have to call you back later.”
Or, Xiao can't help himself when his lover looks so delectable, even if he's on a phone call with his manager.
