Summary
Caelus knows that he's an extra fancy container for space cancer, really.
There's not much else to him besides the Stellaron - not even an identity to begin with.But there's this line in Herta's report -
[...] Further data suggests that the body of the test subject was not created from scratch, but based on a viable human template [Selection criteria unknown] [...]
And Caelus was born curious.

“You still want to be my heart?”
Aether was hesitant before asking, looking up in thought, almost scaring the Balladeer before answering.
“...Yes”

Summary
Aether looks at the memory and finds it looking back, smiling at him. He sees...himself? His hair shines in Liyue's sun and his skin seems unbearably soft. Aether is convinced this isn't him. He knows what he looks like, and he knows he is not that beautiful.
But when even was this? When had he ever smiled at Scaramouche like...that? His chest aches and it feels like someone was using his heart like a stress ball. He stares into his own eyes and nearly finds himself getting lost in them. His ribs close in on his own heart and he struggles to breathe.
Oh.
He's in Scaramouche's head, experiencing Scaramouche's memories through Scaramouche's own eyes. But how? In his eyes, Aether seems beautiful, lovable, almost to the point of being untouchable.
...This is how the Balladeer sees him?
or: The result of Aether's fight with the Balladeer leaves the doll bedridden, but when he awakes, he finds that the sore loser has retreated into his own consciousness and has left a young Kunikuzushi to clean up his mess. Aether does the only reasonable thing, marching into Scaramouche's mind and dragging the bastard out himself.

Summary
To be acquainted with him is to play with fire. It burns and it sets everything ablaze, a total destruction. To be a vessel for a heart, that's what he was originally referred to as. And he failed at that yet…
How can someone without a heart love more than someone who has?
A story of an abandoned puppet and his walking sunshine. A story where Kunikuzushi lived together with Aether. A story where he loved him so much and in turn, was loved as well.

Summary
"You said you needed my help. Why did you bring me here?"
Nahida's expression grew somber, and she looked down at the marble floor of the Sanctuary. "The Fatui are looking to retrieve him and bring him back to Snezhnaya. If the intentions I sensed within the Doctor are accurate..." She paused, gathering herself before continuing. "I believe they intend to 'disassemble' him and make a new puppet out of the leftover parts."

Or, Scaramouche needs to be woken up from his dream, and Aether is the only one that can save him.

Summary
“I know you’ve said an Adeptus doesn't require rest but how about you try just for tonight?”
Xiao frowns, “It would be pointless.”
“Fine.” Aether huffs, “Just do it for me, then. Even if it’s pointless.”
/ After Aether is injured during a fight, Xiao finds that the feelings he's harbored for him are resurfacing. After so long apart, and with the memory of a kiss, Xiao finds himself struggling with his self-control and desire. It's only a matter of time before he can't hold himself back anymore; if only he knew that Aether is ready for him to let go, to come completely undone. /

Summary
Aether's light had disappeared once his parents were killed, his only family member having gone far away to college without a way to return home.
Ei took him in, wanting to help her friend's happiness return, yet what could she do? She wasn't sociable and all she knew how to do was create numerous versions of AI. Her most recent, advanced creation was nearing completion too, so she didn't have time to...
But perhaps...
Perhaps her creation could help.
After all, Kunikuzushi was programmed to be the perfect lifelong companion.

Summary
“Don’t blame me for wanting to leave. You were the one who-” Aether stopped, mid-sentence.
Kunikuzushi paused, expecting something.
Aether let it go, “-Who's acting like it's normal to meet former friends during a round of public indecency.”
Kunikuzushi was Aether’s rhododendron. A unique flower within a patch of weeds. He wasn’t aware as a child that picking it would shorten its lifespan. He couldn’t be to blame for losing his missing half, could he?
Like a freak of nature, the flower revived itself and bloomed.

Summary
[...] "My dear prince, I promise with all my heart that in my every lifetime, I would find you and not give a moment's hesitation to die for you again and again—until my next life and then even after it. My life is yours to take as you please." Kunikuzushi presses his forehead in the naked juncture of Aether's neck and shoulder.
He lets his fingers dance on his collarbones. "So kill me if you must."
Then there was a hand on his hair, the touch so electrifying that Kunikuzushi could not help but shiver under the prince's touch.
"I do not need your death to prove your loyalty to me," The prince whispers next to his ear; intimate, just for the two of them to hear.
"I need you to live for me. Show me how you're willing to spend this cruel eternity just to be with someone as misfortunate as me." [...]
.
There was love in tragedy as there was a tragedy in love.
Kunikuzushi and his prince were somewhere in between the lines.
(In which Kunikuzushi wants to die in The Prince's hands but Aether, kindly and frustratingly, refuses to do so. They try their best to compensate.)
