Kaeya is incapable of taking care of himself, but apparently he can learn to take care of the guy he’s never met who’s co-parenting Klee with him.

Summary
“Lots of nerdy dudes with intimacy issues keep fish tanks.”
When Neuvillette learns how close Wriothesley came to being killed by the Primordial Sea, he finds his desire to care for the Melusines (diligently and from a safe emotional distance) has expanded to include the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.
It’s not that odd. Neuvillette can do his best to help this particular human thrive, just like he’s done with the Melusines. It will help him better understand humans in general, which will help him better understand his purpose.
Surely he’s never going to have to think about it any more closely than that.

Summary
Aether grabs Scaramouche’s hand to stop it from its insistent poking, asshole. He thinks, but then blinks up at the other when he freezes. He tilts his head in confusion and-
“Fuck.” Scaramouche snatches his hand away from him, “I can still hear your damn thoughts.”
Aether’s eyes widen and he suddenly gets the biggest grin on his face,
“No.” Scaramouche’s eye twitches threateningly,
Asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole-
“STOP.”
or// [UPDATE 3.2 SPOILERS, written before 3.3.] Aether is afraid of lightning. And what comes from that, well. Coddling and sharing thoughts with a dumb past harbinger.

Summary
He knew he shouldn’t be alone during times like this, he needed support. Despite his want to never bother anyone- especially on a planet that was not his own, those whom he formed a close bond with still worry over him. It was nice, to be worried about- Aether needed it. Especially since his sister would not be coming home any time soon.
He missed her.
or// Aether has a bad mental week, and finds support in Ajax who is all too happy to give it in his role as a brotherly figure.
...And Aether is all too happy to eat as many noodles as he can in his depression. Ajax made good noodles, you can't blame him for this.

Summary
“I have… Been through a lot.”
Lumine frowned. “‘A lot’ seems to be a gross understatement. You’re like a walking ball of trauma. Being enslaved and tortured for decades and then losing your whole family and then fighting this endless war, alone, seems to qualify as more than ‘a lot.’ Maybe more like 'constant suffering.'”
“I have a contract, and it’s my duty and my honor to fulfill that contract. Even now that you defeated Osial, it’s still my job to defend Liyue from the demons that plague it.” Xiao rubbed his Vision between two fingers. “I’m the last defender in this invisible war.”
“Hm.” Lumine sighed and rested her chin on her palm, looking up at Xiao with big honey-yellow eyes. “Then who will defend you?”

Xiao's Backstory, from being enslaved and tortured to losing everyone he cares about; and the subsequent Story of how he finds healing in a certain Outlander. Angst ensues and relief follows.

Summary
In all his years, Xiao has never been called upon for compassion or comfort. He is a deity of death. His purpose is the creation of carnage for the better good.
And yet, Aether is here on his balcony, sniffling sadly with his chin on his knees and staring into a flickering constellation.

The Faintest Whisper Still Carries (On Wind and Snow) by lonelylongan

Summary
He couldn’t blink away his fading vision.
But he couldn’t die here.
He couldn’t.
A voice whispered at the edges of his mind, vision tunneling.
“If you awake to a knife at your throat, if monsters dig their claws into you, if death comes knocking at your door, call out my name. Adeptus Xiao. I will be here when you call.”
Aether’s lips moved, and one would think he was uttering a silent prayer before drawing his final breath. A weak puff of frost was the only indication of a spoken word. For a moment, nothing happened. Aether’s strength left him, and he hung limply in the monster’s iron grip. He felt himself lifted higher, and the fingers fell away. He was flying, thrown like a pebble. He closed his eyes for the executing impact, but he never met the unyielding ruin walls.

Summary
“Surely you aren’t too exhausted darling? One more excursion won’t hurt!” Lisa chimed in, clapping her hands, “No one else here is up for it. You’ve defeated Stormterror, what’s one little mage?” Lisa laughed, nursing the cup of wine in her hands.
What’s one little Abyss Mage?
Aether stared hard at her, in disbelieving shock. Was that all he was to them? Someone to take care of their orders?
Something anew stirred in the pit of his stomach.
Or where commission after commission, Aether's body soon grew tired of the multiple excursions. It seemed that all anyone ever wanted from him was to do their dirty work for them. His usual cheerful demeanor vanished before he fled Mondstadt, looking for some sort of escape, and eventually finding it in a certain Adeptus. -

"Traveler-?”
“Aether.” He insisted again, hand curling tightly around the hair clasp. With each raindrop that fell, the tears in his eyes multiplied. “Traveler is not my name. No one knows my name.”~

When Xiao had said he’d be listening out for when Aether called his name, anywhere, anytime, he did not think he literally meant anywhere and anytime.

"What do you mean we're dating?"
In which Xiao and Aether are painfully unaware of their own advances and relationship while everyone does. Or maybe it's everyone else who assumes things for themselves.
How can they not after all they've witnessed personally. Surely, the Traveler and the Yaksha are courting each other.

Summary
Xiao didn’t make him angry… did he? Did he do something wrong? Snapped at the wrong time, brushed him off, something? Was all of this Xiao’s fault? Maybe—just maybe—if Xiao had been more accepting, more cordial, accepted the smiles more often, this wouldn’t have happened. If he had only given Aether a little more attention, if he’d accepted the Lanturn Right date outright like he wanted to… This was his fault, all his fault, and because of Xiao, Aether might be severely hurt. That was the only explanation. It was his fault it was his fault it was his fa—
“Xiao?”
He looked to Ganyu, who was carefully observing in the doorway. His breath was quick and heavy, his throat was dry, and his hands were shaking. Xiao was sure he looked like a caged animal with how he had snapped to attention. He needed to find them, and quick, but a self induced panic attack wasn’t going to get him anywhere.
“Where’s Paimon?” he snarled.
“With Lady Ningguang. I can take you to—”
In a burst of teal blue and black smoke, Xiao was gone from the middle of the room.

Aether's been kidnapped, and Xiao is forced to look at the traumatic waves of his past. -

Summary
Aether thought that he was unable to be surprised by anything anymore, what with Archons faking their deaths, little zombie girls and tavern owning vigilantes. Oh how wrong he was. Thrown into another new world, he must figure out a way to return to Teyvat, at least this time he isn't completely alone.

Summary
Xiao is certain his life is a joke at this point. He's seen a lot of things in his life, but this takes the cake. Zhongli will be the death of him.
In other words, Zhongli kidnapped Childe and now the Fatui think he's dead.
At least Aether is there to suffer with him. Someone has to keep these idiots in line.

Five times everyone noticed Flins was a fae, except Varka, and one time he did by Gojos_pretty
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
20 Jan 2026

Summary
Varka doesn’t consider himself a denialist. Holding his position as Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, who are, to put it kindly, a bunch of misfits, he’s seen his share of weirdness for at least three lifetimes. By Celestia, his Archon is a drunk twink who can turn into a wind spirit. Because of that, Varka thinks he can handle strange things just fine. The unusual is ordinary to him.
That’s why, when Flins reveals nothing less than a pair of crystalline wings, like a damned angel on his lap while kissing him on a dull winter afternoon, he doesn’t react with shock or gape in awe like some idiot, thank you very much. But that’s when it clicks, the realization turning like a key in his mind.
Holy shit, he’s a fae.
-In wich Varka is completely smitten and lets any of Flins’ weirdness slide, all because he’s distracted by his pretty face. After all, he’s a weak man.
or: the one where varka is the last to discover flins’ little secret (even though he never tried to hide it).
