Summary
“Albedo took off his white coat and gloves, his eyes returning to Aether. Even like this, he was unparalleled. His face was nuzzled into the crook of his elbow, his mouth parted slightly, just beginning to drool. His back looked achingly uncomfortable hunched over the table and flyaways sprung free of his braid at just about any spot they could.
He was so beautiful.”
…Albedo recently received a letter postmarked from Sumeru. Aether had a sudden change of plans and would be coming home. Usually, Aether’s letters were much longer, telling Albedo about the latest crisis that Aether got dragged into. An uncomfortable feeling settles into Albedo’s gut at the bluntness of the letter.

Summary
Sometimes the weight of the world is a heavy burden that Aether can't always bear on his own. Some days he aches more than usual, and some nights he's more exhausted than he's ever been. In a world that isn't his own, he often finds himself out of place and lonely. But there exists someone incredibly dear to him who will always answer his call, no matter why or when.

Summary
"Why are you doing this?"
And how could Aether explain? Years he had spent on Teyvat, wingless and powerless, and yet the Abyss was the only thing that made him feel something, like he was doing anything useful at all.
Or, Aether comes back wrong from the Spiral Abyss and Xiao hates it.

Summary
“Sorry. Tonight… I just want to rest.”
There is something reverent about the way Aether undresses him slowly, as if he is erasing the years from Xiao’s shoulders, piece by piece. He touches him and his hand says, “share with me your hurt, and I'll make it mine.”

Summary
Xiao was a creature of war and suffering. His was not a body meant for such sweetnesses as pleasure; every muscled plane and every inch of flesh had been honed for war and for fighting, not for making love. But bathed in the soft light of the morning sun and with Aether's feather-light fingers against his skin, he can almost believe he could be meant for more. When Aether offers to prove it to him, to set the swirling lines of green ink pressed into his flesh aglow from the strength of their love rather than the sting of battle, who is he to refuse?
With pleasure searing up his nerves and affection swelling in his heart, Xiao could believe everything Aether had said: he was meant for more than fighting, he was meant for love and pleasure and sex and passion. He was meant for this. He was meant for Aether.And even if he didn't deserve it, even if he would never deserve it, he trusted Aether, and if Aether said he was a creature of love as much as of pain, then it must be true.

Summary
"I like a place better when I am in your company."
He wishes the two of them could become a long lost legend buried with time, a folk verse hummed idly by the ferrymen for thousands of years after.
If Aether were mortal, Qiaoying Village is the kind of place where he could see himself falling in love― and when he runs into Xiao there, he finds himself wondering what it would mean to love with a human heart.
