Summary
It was just supposed to be another trip to the Liyue Museum, Zhongli rambling on about random facts throughout history to Xiao who had heard them a thousand times before, when it happened. There was a new exhibit today, a painting from the olden days of Liyue Harbor had been unearthed and set up on display. Rumors said it was of an ancient guardian, one that protected Liyue from danger alongside his lover, a traveler from another world. It certainly sounded more interesting than ancient Liyue mining techniques.
What Xiao wasn’t expecting is to see himself on display.

Summary
Most avoided the abandoned castle just outside the village, for anyone that dared to venture into those cursed woods would never return home.
Lumine was not most.
The young woman was brave, too brave for her own good some might say. She did not fear the monsters that lurked in the dark forest, but it would’ve been wise of her to. Perhaps then her tragic fate could’ve been avoided.

Katheryn’s eyes turned serious as she pointed toward the sky.

Summary
“Silk flowers, as the name implies, were named for the silky texture of their petals. It is no longer common knowledge amongst the people of Liyue today, but the very first silk flower extracts had been used as, ahem, a very unique perfume.
During the days of old, they had been cultivated for their aphrodisiac properties and as a means to increase the libido. Its essence, when extracted in its most concentrated form, was potent enough to tempt even the adepti into giving into desire.
Fascinating, isn't it?”
Had Aether actually listened to Zhongli's lengthy explanation on the subject, maybe he wouldn’t have gotten himself into this mess…
(In which Zhongli gifts Aether silk flower essence specially created for him and Xiao to congratulate them on moving in together. Its effects are more potent than either of them expects.)

His effort is rewarded when he so happens to become a regular for one of the popular stylists, Xiao. Of course, this easy escape doesn't last too long for Aether, as his past would soon catch up to him.

Summary
A year ago, Aether’s twin sister Lumine was killed in a freak homicide, and the case went cold. After a year of semi-effective recovery, a bad breakup, and the need for a fresh start, he packs up what’s left of his belongings and moves to a small nowhere town well outside of Mondstadt, hoping it’ll be the breath of fresh air he needs to really move on with his life.
Instead, on the first night in the new place…he finds himself haunted by her restless spirit.
Enter, Xiao: a friend of a friend, courtesy of Venti, and "a guy who deals with ghosts." When the hauntings increase, and Aether finds himself in need of Xiao's protection, he realizes his "fresh start" is about to be full of repressed trauma...and a significant amount of questioning his sexuality. Oh—and a little bit of solving a murder, too.

Summary
It is not until one night, as they are resting in their shared room in the Serenitea Pot, that the trend of Aether's dreams changes slightly.
It is one of the rare nights that Xiao is allowing himself to sleep, dozing more than anything as he lays next to Aether, but his eyes snap open when he hears a whimper. Aether's brow is furrowed slightly, as is usual when he is having a nightmare, but he squirms a moment later, which is… less normal for him. Xiao watches him squirm a bit more and make several indecipherable murmurs, feeling more and more confused. His individual actions point towards a nightmare, but something's not quite adding up as it should. This is further emphasised when he hears a breathy "Xiao," from Aether.
Well, if he isn't in a nightmare, then what else could he be dreaming about? Xiao decides it wouldn't hurt to take a look just to be sure. He is not at all prepared for what he ends up intruding on.

Summary
Xiao is faced with a dilemma. Not only is he attempting to gain the affections of the mysterious traveler hailing from Mondstadt (probably), he's doing so using the Decarabian era textbook. While trying to follow the steps set out for him perfectly to ensure absolute victory, it appears he's got a rival in his way.
Diluc is faced with a dilemma, as well. While trying to minimise the damage Venti is wreaking upon the City of Freedom, he's also trying to prove to his brother that yes, he can get a date. The dark-haired stranger at the gates is both making matters worse and better at the same time.

Summary
"He promised me."
Aether can't explain the sharpness of his tone, nor the certainty of his words. He can't explain the feeling that blossoms in his chest. Warm, dark satisfaction that sticks with him all day, that festers when he sees the yaksha appear before he and Xiangling.
He called for him. He summoned him.
No one else.
-
Seeing another attempt to call Xiao's name sparks a strange jolt of jealousy within the otherwise mild-mannered traveller. A feeling he can't seem to get rid of.

[...] “Aether!” she came closer, floating beside him “Don't tell me you're going to offer a plate of almond tofu along with the poem, I know that the windblume flower can be several different things, but I still think it has to be, you know, a flower.”
The traveler blushed, watching his company with wide eyes as Venti raised an eyebrow.
"How did you know that I-"
"That you want to write a love poem for the Vigilant Yaksha?" [...]

Summary
Aether was unable to stop himself. “Sure you’d make it into the city in time to come to the rescue?” Aether asked, almost saying ‘my rescue’ but deciding against it, not liking how weak it would make him seem. Xiao’s eyes, by the tiniest percentage, seemed to soften.
“Anywhere. Anytime.” He didn’t look away from Aether.

“Xiao wants to argue back but Aether sighs before he can say anything, “just let me take care of you,” the words are quiet. Insistent, yet soft.
…
Looking away, he almost mumbles, “it’s rotten work,”
Aether firmly shakes his head, “not to me. Not if it’s you.” Though the words are stern, there is an undeniable current of affection in them that has Xiao fraying at the edges and meeting his stubborn stare.”
