    Summary

    Illuminated by the glow of gold-scorched parchment, the harsh lines of Xiao’s face smoothen into confusion, then resignation. He takes a steadying breath. “You aren’t leaving.”

    “I’m bound to you until I find you love,” Venti corrects.

    “Yeah, so you aren’t leaving.”

    “Wrong! I have a hot streak of success.” Venti claps his hands, the contract scrolling back up into non-existence. “Now that you understand, shall we start over? My name’s Venti, and I’m your assigned Cupid. Your wingman, if you will.”

    “... Xiao.”

    Or: Xiao is, maybe, a little in love with his Cupid. Venti does not catch on.

    Summary

    High up on the cliff that borders the ocean and the quiet fishing village, there stands a lone bird statue facing away from the ocean, wings spread open as if it were mid-flight. His mother always told him to remember two important things when visiting the statue:

    One: It liked being pat on the head.

    Two: It can grant wishes if you ask nicely. Sometimes.

    But Xiao thinks there’s a third important thing that should be added to the list:

    Three: If you talk to it, it’ll use the wind to talk back to you. And it really, really likes to talk.

    Summary

    Jean has a word for it that she calls him with, often with resigned exasperation. What was it again?

    “You’re such a fucking simp, Xiao.”

    Ah, yes. That.

    or, in which Venti interrupts a late night stream and the world watches Xiao be an indulgent boyfriend.
