Summary
When Zhongli offered him a job for the millionth time and he finally accepted, Venti never thought that he would have to film his disastrous gourmet experiments so people on the internet could laugh at him. It's nice, though. Until Xiao shows up, and being in the kitchen goes from pleasant and relaxing to a constant struggle not to let his (very obvious) crush show.

Summary
To Xiao, Barbatos was the embodiment of everything he was not: happy, free, fully confident in who he was. His music made the shadows in Xiao’s head retreat. They were all about living life to the fullest, having hope when the world was turned against you, and having fun (something that was almost entirely foreign to Xiao).
And now he was going to have to give away all his albums, delete Barbatos’ songs off his phone, and never listen to his music again. Just looking at the albums lined up on the shelf made Xiao cringe. He’d thought that if he ever did get a chance to meet his idol, it would be in a controlled space. He would have said something normal, like, Your music means a lot to me. Then he would’ve shaken Barbatos’ hand, gotten an autograph, and lived out the rest of his life in peace.
Xiao’s idol had watched him punch a guy in the stomach.
Since Zhongli's early retirement, Xiao's life has been aimless. But a chance encounter sets him on a new and uncharted path.

Summary
Head curator of the National Museum of Liyue has announced earlier today that a new permanent exhibition will be opened in the Alcor building. "Love in the Time of Adepti" will display a collection of 22 letters which have been recently discovered in a dig in the archaeological site of Qingce, theorized to have been written by the last known adepti...
Xiao reads the title and subheader once, twice, three times, before it fully registers.
“Fuck.”

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
“They’re bitter,” he offers. “Ganyu eats them.”
Barbatos’s eyes go round. “Raw?” he says, astonished. “My word.” He pauses, studying the qingxin in deep contemplation. Then he pops a petal into his mouth and immediately gags.
Xiao concludes then and there that the Anemo Archon is an idiot. “I warned you,” he says, utterly unsympathetic.
“That’s true!” Barbatos laughs. He runs a thumb over the bloom, but (thankfully) doesn’t try to eat any more. “I think it’ll grow on me,” he muses, then smiles, as if he’s said something clever.
A selection of memories. Venti and Xiao, from the beginning to the end—and after.
