    Summary

    Xiao has always been the type to blend into the background, quietly shunning attention and preferring the solace of solitude. Unlike most people his age, he despises talking to others and goes out of his way to remain unseen.

    Then there’s Aether, a bright presence on campus and everything Xiao isn’t. Outgoing, friendly, and a familiar face to nearly everyone at the university, Aether seems to have a kind word or smile for everyone he meets. He’s well-known for his warmth, even down to the cleaning staff, who often share stories of his generosity and kindness.

    Their paths cross on a day that’s darker for Xiao than most. He finds himself on the rooftop of the university building, the weight of his past and his pain pushing him to the edge, quite literally. His thoughts are a tangled mess of despair, and he’s on the verge of giving in to them. But just as he’s about to make a life-altering choice, Aether appears on the rooftop, oblivious to the crisis unfolding before him.

    In that pivotal moment, Aether unknowingly becomes Xiao’s lifeline. His unexpected arrival stops Xiao in his tracks, altering a fate that seemed inevitable.

    Summary

    A Genshin AU story that takes place in high school.

    Aether, a first year student with a heavy past and a hard situation, is bullied because of his differences and origins.
    Despite his will to go on, his torments only keep getting harsher.
    One day, he meets Kazuha, a second year student, formerly in the kendo club, who also bears a heavy burden and shadows of the past.

    Can their relation help them both to move forward?
    Or will it only serve to repeat a tragedy similar to the one that took place one year ago?

    Note 1: This fic has, if you read the tags, heavy stuff/topics. If you're uncomfortable with those, please don't read.

    Note 2: It's my first AU fic, so I hope it will turn out right.

    Note 3: This fic has little "physical" description (places, appearance) and focuses heavily on action/dialogs and characters inner thoughts/emotions. Chapters are short.

    Kudos & comments are always appreciated to keep the motivation up 😊

    Summary

    When Kunikuzushi saw Kazuha for the first time, he immediately thought of three words.
    The first one was 'white'. The second one was 'beautiful'. The third one was 'faggot'.

    Basically this is the story of traumatized Scaramouche who sits incredibly deep in the closet and suffers form severe internalized homophobia, and with the power of friendship and gay love everything will be fine but don't be silly, there's gonna be plenty of angst

    The same trigger warnings for the entirety of the work:
    -homophobic slurs
    -internalized homophobia
    -panic attacks
    -selfharm (the act itself and the after-math)

    Summary

    All Kazuha knew was pain. All he knew was suffering. That was how his life went. That was how it would always be.

    Until one day, an unfamiliar voice reaches out to him, and everything changes—from then on, he never knows pain again.
