Summary
“I like it when you do that.” Aether admits quietly.
Xiao wraps a strand around his thumb.
“And I like doing it. It’s beautiful.”
“You’re beautiful.”
Xiao sighs. “Aether—“
“Shh, Xiao,” Aether says, cradling his face. His fingers come up to sweep beneath Xiao’s eyes. They’re so gentle, they almost tickle, and Xiao melts into them, his eyes fluttering. “Just let me have this.”
Xiao cannot deny him anything.
///
The ever vigilant yaksha does not need to sleep. But sometimes, he desperately needs to, if only to rest freely for a time, and Aether is happy to assist him.

Summary
“Do you want me?” Aether asks again. “I’ve seen the way you look at me Xiao, and I may be stupid, but I’m not that stupid. If you want me the way I want you, why won’t you say so?”
Aether is beautiful. That is why Xiao looks. Why he will always look. Aether is a pool of sunlight, the first child’s laughter, a sky learning its name. Aether reminds Xiao of the dawning of the world. Before the maw of blackness and before Morax too. Before sin and salvation, when his existence was nothing more than a sentient dream. A breathing hope. A heart without a body.
“It is not a matter of wanting you, but a matter of whether I am worthy to want.” Xiao says.
Or:
Amongst the qingxin flowers, Xiao is forgiven for wanting.

Summary
“I think I’ve been telling lies,” Lumine admits to the vast expanse of the cloudless Teyvat sky. Her voice is small, no louder than a whisper. It's the voice of a child.
The stars only twinkle back in response, bright as gems even as they’re eons away, and Lumine’s heart breaks just a little bit more. She gathers her knees up to her chest and hugs them tight, resting back against the unyielding stone at the very top of Qingyun Peak until she can tip her head back, exposing her throat to the brisk night air.

Summary
“Are you just going to keep standing there?” The Wanderer glared up at him from beneath the brim of his wide hat. “You may as well sit and wait for one of us to wake up. Otherwise, feel free to leave.”
Aether paused. Never in a million years did he think that the morally complicated puppet before him would ever offer such a seemingly harmless invitation. Aether knew that, if he had any inch of common sense left, he should be suspicious of whatever nefarious scheme that the Wanderer may be plotting. And yet, something stirring deep within him, perhaps curiosity, or maybe just the fact that being in the Wanderer’s dream meant reprieve from the torture that was his own, urged him to plop down in the sand after only a moment’s hesitation.

Right now Aether's favorite mortal was a so-called “The Boy”.

Summary
