Summary
Bound by duty and promises written in his own blood, Xiao swore to prove that the life given to him will be lived for good.
He is a prisoner, with himself as his own jailor.
Weighed down by expectations and totality of every life, Venti attempts to breathe for two and maybe prove that his life is his own.
He is chained to a wall by regrets of past mistakes.
After all these years, grief might be the only thing they now share.
Can they dare mend what was broken?
***
Or: once, in Liyue, in school, they had each other, but after their graduation Venti disappeared from Xiao's life without a word. Years have passed and fate brings them together again. Both of them are broken in their own way and believe there's no saving them, struggling to accustom to the returning presense of each other in their lives.They have an opportunity to attempt and heal each other, or to destroy what's left of their connection.
And it's a university AU on top of all that.
