    Summary

    Dvalin is not poisoned. The Anemo Archon fells Durin, and with his blessing, Mondstadt alone emerges from the cataclysm unbroken by the Abyss. But how? No scholar knows.

    500 years later, Xiao travels to Mondstadt to warn Barbatos of an Abyss Order plot—but there are questions, too, twisting in his heart. Among them: Why did you save me, that night in Dihua Marsh? Why haven’t you visited since then?

    And, because he knows all too well that power comes at a price: what did you pay to protect Mondstadt?

    (The God of Freedom has so few choices.)

    Summary

    Barbatos quickly fell into the habit of visiting the border between Mondstadt and Liyue, meeting the golden-winged bird that never once left its flat stone, and sharing apples in exchange for trinkets: shells, colorful stones, flowers, even shards of stained glass.

    or: Barbatos met a peculiar bird at the border of Mondstadt and Liyue. Somehow it turned out to be more than just one accidental meeting.

    Summary

    “You used to play your original songs a lot,” Xiao says softly, tracing the knuckles of his left hand. “Why don’t you do that anymore?”
    Barbatos takes a moment to answer. “I guess I wasn’t sure anyone wanted to hear them.”
    “I did,” Xiao says, surprising himself with how immediate his response is. “I liked them all.”
    “Oh,” says Barbatos.

    After eight years of silently listening to the radio show that saved his life as a teenager, Xiao finally calls in after the host, Barbatos, disappears for a week. He expects that to be the only time he calls, but Barbatos seems to have other plans. One thing leads to another, and Xiao ends up calling the station each week – until a disastrous realisation at Barbatos’s first live performance.

    in other words: xiaoven radio au 😋
