    Summary

    For as long as Xiao could remember, there had always been one constant in his life: his suffering. Simultaneously punished and fueled by his karmic debt, Xiao lived in a relentless cycle, one of endless duty and torment.

    He thought the cycle was broken when he met the Traveler. Aether is open, patient, and kind–and more importantly, the first one to silence the screaming in his head. Unfortunately, Xiao’s tragic pattern was not fixed, just mutated.

    The voice in his head–Alatus, a bloody reflection of Xiao’s many flaws–screams louder. Xiao finds it harder to ignore him, his demon no longer content to exist only in his shadow. Every moment of peace comes with a cost, and Alatus has no qualms with playing debt-collector.

    Growing dangerously dependent on Aether’s guiding light, the darkness no longer simply encroaches on him. Xiao’s become its prey. His tormentor blurs the line between fiction and reality, leaving Xiao uncertain of which feelings are real, or simply a figment of his imagination.

    Does Xiao have what it takes to overcome the evil in his own mind, or is he destined for a continued life confined to solitude?

    Summary

    “It's better than you leaving and doing Archons know what. I can assure your safety here while we solve this.” Diluc matches the sassiness in the others voice, trying to hide his regret.

    Kaeya drags a hand down his face, “Right, okay— my safety. Sure.”

    OR

    Kaeya's abyssal heritage catches up to him, freezing over in his chest. Before he can sit back and let himself die, Diluc and Albedo step in to keep him from destroying himself.

    Summary

    And there it was again, that tilt of Kaeya's head to expose his neck, that pleading look in his eye.

    "I want you to mark me," he said.

    Albedo smiled, patiently, as he took Kaeya's face in his hands. "No, you don't."


    Albedo and Kaeya's relationship going more public brings feelings, old and new, good and bad, rising to the surface.
