Summary
The traveler’s figure sent chills down his spine. It was incomprehensible to the yaksha, so he denied this sign, and all the others, that indicated that Aether was far from being a mortal. Despite his denial, he still could not keep himself from looking for the traveler. Yet, after some time, Xiao understood that Aether was far older than he looked.
Or
Xiao is in denial about a lot of things, but Aether clumsily tries to make his way into his heart.

“I… I lost it.”Aether’s eye twitches. “Where…” he drags a hand over his face, “where did you last see it?”
Xiao hesitates. “...On—”
“If you say you last saw it on the bed, I’m going to force it down your throat when I find it.”
Aether just wants Xiao to sleep. Nothing ever goes to plan.

Touch Me, Tell Me You Love Me by 24SilverStainedLeaves

Summary
Xiao never speaks, for his voice is meaningless when it does not bear critical information. He never touches, for his fingers are tainted with the deaths of hundreds of gods and demons — and why would he ever need to touch someone if they can stand perfectly fine on their own?
It would seem, though, that Aether conveys his affection in just those ways… and what wouldn’t Xiao do for the one he holds closest to his heart?

Summary
“Have fun with your future endeavors, lover boy.” Xingqiu taunts with a sly grin on his face.
Aether clutches both books to his chest protectively, “The notebook is for my friend, this one is for me.”
Xingqiu sighs, resting a hand on his cheek, “That’s what they all say, you’re giving into your false reassurance.”
or; Aether wants to buy Xiao a birthday present and an unexpected mix-up happens.

Summary
“I know your sins, shall I tell you of mine?”
There is something dark and bitter in his voice, his eyes a void of black, and what Xiao sees in them reminds him again that somewhere beneath Aether’s surface lies something that is not quite human at all. He is sure, now, that whatever Aether says is bound to tip the scales, rip apart the fine line Xiao walks when he"s with him, make it impossible to deny Aether"s true nature any longer.

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
“Well… Aether told me that in an emergency, if his nightmares ever got too bad, I should call you to… to eat them.”
Xiao’s mind immediately says no. His dream eating… it’s not meant to be used on someone as good as Aether. The more time he spends around humans, the more he realizes how cruel he had been. Their dreams were everything, the only thing they ran on. To take those from Aether… he couldn’t possibly. He had stolen memories of families, of love, of opportunity… he couldn’t steal from Aether like that.
OR
In an emergency, Xiao is called to eat Aether"s dreams. To save him, he learns the most personal nightmares, the ones closest to his heart. This has a few more consequences than expected.

Summary
Aether raises a brow, “Attached already?”
Xiao coughs lightly, “Don’t be foolish. I am merely offering my aid, as I’ve heard that child-rearing can be… a lot to handle on one’s own.”
Aether should have known it wouldn"t be easy, raising a child, let alone raising one with someone he may or may not be developing feelings for. It certainly doesn"t help that the child almost looks... exactly like them.
(An accidental child acquisition fic, inspired largely by the headcanons of Yanqing from Honkai Star Rail)

Summary
“So, these scars haven’t really faded.” Aether is saying, lifting his shirt a bit to show the warping of his skin. “They’re kind of ugly, I guess. But it’s not like I can hide them forever.”
He almost drops his shirt back down, embarrassment staining his cheeks rosy, when Xiao reaches out. His hand, usually gloved, is bare when he presses the pads of his fingers against the scar nearest Aether’s belly button. He doesn’t push hard but he does keep his fingers there, roaming a bit to follow the frayed line in each direction.
Aether’s breath catches in his throat at the touch and when Xiao hears it, he meets his eye. His forehead is creased with the furrow of his brows, his lips pulled down in a deep frown.
“I could have been there.” He says. “I’d hear you call my name even across the ocean-"

Summary
“I am your weapon. I will protect you, no matter the odds. Speak my name, and I will come to your aid—always.”
These were the words confidentially uttered to Aether by the Conqueror of Demons, outside of even Paimon"s hearing range, after the Chasm had nearly swallowed them all.
Fearing he"d only bring Xiao more suffering, Aether had vowed to never speak his name - and we"ll see how well that goes for him.

Summary
Xiao"s musings continue branching like an unpruned Silk Flower bush. What else did Aether experience in Liyue when he wasn"t there? How does he see the great stone pillars that pin down the monsters of a bygone era? What does he think of the adepti and their habits? The local cuisines he had mastered so effortlessly? The people; what does he see in humanity? Their butterfly-wing fragility? Or their Jade tenacity and stubbornness to live?
~
Xiao accompanies Aether on a casual trip to run some errands in Liyue Harbor and gets lost in his pining thoughts.

Summary
Warning : Not compliant to canon at all lmao
"As rays of light began to shine through the curtains, Aether’s heart was set ablaze again. Lumine couldn’t have died so simply, he thought, as hope that it was all a lie started to burn to ashes any sense of rationality that remained within him at this point."
Mihoyo wouldn"t let us find our sibling so I found them myself. No but jokes aside, this is a story where aether loses his sister, and is forced to eventually confront this reality. His will to travel the lands of Teyvat came purely from the desire to find his sister, but that will was crushed by celestia. His existance rendered pointless, he must now find himself another reason to live. And that reason may just so happen to be Xiao.
