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 😋

I Just Wanted a Quiet Apartment by Black_Shadow_003
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
15 Mar 2026

Summary
After leaving a hellish job in Liyue, Xiao moves to Mondstadt in search of a quieter life: a decent office job, weekends off, and a small affordable apartment.
Unfortunately, the building is full of completely insane people.
Between a workaholic landlord, an overly caring nursing student, two brothers who are constantly fighting, a musician who plays until four in the morning, and an atheist nun with very little patience for humanity, Xiao soon discovers that surviving Mondstadt might be harder than his old job.
Xiao just wanted peace.
Instead, he found a building full of lunatics.Bookmarked by HappySnow

Xiao swims up to the prince’s chambers. From beneath the door, there is no glow, only outstretched darkness.
Pale blue and green corals decorate the sides in patterned swirls, with gold lining the handles. He wonders if it was specially commissioned.
Xiao knocks on the marble door in the rhythm Venti taught him that afternoon for their little midnight rendezvous.- Language:

Summary
It takes her a few tries, dehydrated lamina crumbling and fraying under her fingers if she exerts too much force, but eventually Ping succeeds. She pretends not to notice Guizhong cheating by weaving threads of Geo to reinforce the thinnest leaves she handles.
The little bird looks on, wide-eyed, as she pushes Adeptal energy into animating the sycamore leaf, and her butterfly flutters in languid circles around the room. It twirls and flits and dives, half-translucent wings leaving kaleidoscoped impressions of sun glimmers on Ping’s pale sandbearer walls.
Guizhong sighs, the little bird’s bed shifting under her weight as she sprawls her entire upper body across its surface. Her eyes are half-obscured by her fringe from where she peers up at her butterfly, chin resting on folded arms, gaze trailing after its flight.
“How I dread Autumn’s end,” she whispers. “Yet endlessly in the wind you dance, little fiction of my hands.”
Or, two thousand years (and counting) of Liyuen history told through the lenses of others' eyes.

Summary
Xiao freezes. His gaze flickers towards the obstructed balcony. “You planned this," he accuses. There is still the window, he supposes, but he doubts the Anemo Archon simply forgot about its existence. It being left open is in equal measure a gesture of good faith and an unspoken challenge. He doesn't think he could live it down if the god of songs waxes poetry about his embarrassing escape.
He sits down.
Venti just laughs at his scowl and raises his hands in surrender, "you've caught me.” Then, his expression sobering, “I think it would be good for you to have someone to talk about your…past experiences with. Someone who understands the weight of what you were made to do."
“You need to learn to stop making everyone else’s business your own," Xiao tells him flatly.
Or, Xiao gets bullied into therapy, accidentally incites a riot, makes bird kebab, and gets harassed by extroverts that want many conversations. Precisely in that order.

Summary
The chatter in the room immediately quieted as Yae Miko stopped just inside of the doorway. The small smile against her features was relatively impassive, though there was a flash of mischief in her eyes that Venti did not miss as she eyed the gathered students.
“So, is this our turnout for this year? Not bad, but I’ve seen better.”
“Thank goodness I’ve already filled one position for a stagehand, otherwise who knows if enough people would volunteer?” She stepped away from the door and gestured with her hand for whoever was behind her to enter.
A moment later, a scruffy-looking boy followed her into the room, hands buried in his black zip-up hoodie and looking very much like he wished he was anywhere else, judging by his refusal to look at anything but the floor.
“Everybody, this is Xiao. He will be joining us to help for the entire process of bringing this play to life.”
Venti felt a little bolt of panic in his chest.
Because that was the same Xiao who had just recently been caught fighting another student. The same Xiao who had a reputation for not giving a single shit about anyone or anything in school.
What was Yae Miko thinking?- Language:

It’s snowing.
The land is blanketed in crisp white—frost sparkles in the air, and the simple act of exhaling causes icy crystals to form in mist-like clouds. It would be beautiful, to anyone else.

Summary
Somewhere, over the course of the years, Xiao's room in Wangshu Inn has become Xiao and Venti's room. There's traces of Venti all around; from his cape hanging over the back of the chair, to the hair ties on the dresser and the flowers on the windowsill. His lyre is left on the bed, and Xiao doesn't think he'll ever get used to it.
Sometimes, all it takes is two thousand years.

Summary
“Be gentle with her, alright?” They say, with a kindhearted sort of concern. “She's going through a lot.”
The Wanderer thinks of her timid, lost expression and quiet uncertainty, the way she held herself as though she were not yet unfamiliar with moving in her physical form. He snorts. What a ridiculous request.
“…You know how I am,” The Wanderer replies, meeting their gaze with a frown. “No promises.”
The Traveler merely smiles at him, turning back around. “Right. Well, I’ll leave you to it.”
“Hm.”
Nahida temporarily loses most of her memory, and the Wanderer is tasked with supervising her until she recovers.

“You don’t like it,” Columbina concludes, and she looks so damn sad and pathetic that Sandrone’s really just taking pity on her as she yanks the stupid bag of chocolates out of the other girl’s hands and holds it to her chest.
“Who said I didn’t like it?” she huffs, face still burning red. “You just…took me by surprise.”

"I found myself one," he explained. It would only be fitting for a synthetic being to have a synthetic constellation. Perhaps the Gods will take pity upon him and, too, accept him. "I named it Cor Pupae."
Niwa's eyes traced the clusters gathered up above them. "Where is it?"
Kabukimono found his constellation again. One star, two stars, three stars, four stars, and so on… his refuge for when the world down below the celestial globe would not cradle him. "There. Towards Narumaki Island, where… where I was made."or kabukimono and niwa talk about the stars

Summary
Venti turned to him.
"May I say something?" he asked.
"Are you often inclined to ask such a thing?"
Venti laughed. He bumped his wings against Xiao's.
"Your eyes are the color of sweetflowers." He winked. "And your lips taste just as sweet."
