    Summary

    A pair of golden wings and a gentle breeze.

    One has never been able to properly thank their savior who had been calming their karmic debt simply by playing on a Dihua flute.
    The other has never been able to forgive themselves for making things worse for that boy their friend had intended to save centuries ago.

    Both are looking for someone to ease their pain — and they find them in each other.

    --
    A story about Venti visiting Xiao in Liyue in order to fix his mistakes of the past. In contrast to his intentions, though, the two of them are getting more and more attracted to each other until they eventually have to make a crucial decision.

    Summary

    “I am not a ‘kid’,” the boy spits, drawing himself up to his full height of whatever feet and nothing inches. “The name given to me is Xiao, though some mortals know me better as the Conqueror of Demons—” he throws his head back defiantly, which is adorable, “—I am a yaksha in the eternal service of the people of Liyue, favoured by Rex Lapis, not some glorified troubadour.”

    Verr blinks.

    “Wow you’re... you’re an insane person, aren’t you?” She says.

    Verr Goldet has run the Wangshu Inn alongside her husband for almost a decade. Their oldest patron insists he was there first.

    Or, the building of a sanctuary. Told in olive branches refused, taken, and freely given.

    Summary

    Xiao is not this yaksha's true name, but a name given to him in the interests of his own protection.

    Back in a younger, more naive time, a god had gotten a hold of Xiao's weakness and forced him to serve as their bloodhound. Many died at his hand but as much as it pained him, he was helpless to resist.

    Rex Lapis liberated the yaksha and gave him the name "Xiao."

    "In the fables of another world, the name Xiao is that of a spirit who encountered great suffering and hardship. He endured much suffering, as you have. Use this name from now on.”

    An interpretation of Xiao’s backstory.
