Nostos

Summary:

“As a pitiful brother separated from his beloved sister, it is my solemn duty to help families unite.” Aether exclaimed in an animated voice, sparking one of the largest International Crisis in Teyvat's history, Tsaritsa be proud.

At least Sigwinne was happy. And Albedo, even if one could hardly tell with him.

Notes:

This is crack and based on the Rhinedottir family chart circulating on the community.

The title 'Nostos' is also meant to be a parody since Nostos is a painful and difficult homecoming like in Homer's Odyssey.

The draft is complete. Now I just have to write it (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง

Chapter 1: Busybody

Chapter Text

“Aether?”

The blond inwardly groaned at being addressed.

What kind of nonsense was his beloved emergency food going to spout now?

He tilted his head slightly in his companion’s direction, keeping his eyes on the ‘Book of Esoteric Revelations’ to indicate that he was listening to the former at some superficial level. 

“If Elynas was made by Rhi-Rhin-Rhiden-”

“Rhinedottir.”

“Yeah her. Does that mean that Albedo and Elynas are related?” 

Aether blinked once and then blinked one more time for some good measure.

“I suppose so.” 

He really did suppose so. It was similar to how all Fontanians had Egeria as a creator. Elynas and Albedo would be as much related as any human to another. 

“Does that mean Sigewinne is like… Albedo’s niece?” 

Aether blinks again. 

Just when he had thought that nothing in this world could surprise him anymore. Leave it to the many absurdly complicated relationship charts Teyvat had. They were as messy as the constellations in the skies. 

 “Who let you cook?” He muttered under his breath.

“Huh?” Paimon questioned, confused.

“You know what?” Aether suddenly exclaimed in an animated voice. “As a pitiful brother separated from his beloved sister, it is my solemn duty to help families unite.”

“Does that mean…?” Paimon’s eyes twinkled in anticipation. 

Aether nodded vigorously. “Off to Fortress of Meropide, we go.”
