    Summary

    Barbatos pursed his lips and looked in the direction of the cliff. Of course, it would be brief. He wanted this damned war to end so he could have his family together for more than a few mere hours. He had been so lucky with Mondstat. “Alright, we will have to disguise ourselves once we get there. Don’t want to give the mortals a heart attack, imagine the scandal. Did you hear? Our dearest Barbatos, he was seen with a foreign god with a babe nursing from his bosom!”


    Venti reminisces about a time when he had everything before he lost it all.

    Summary

    Vol. 1: Boundaries and Bonding
    Diluc has just adopted Diona after her Father's passing and is struggling to get her to open up to him and not smother her in the process.

    Vol. 2: Discipline and Restraint
    Albedo has practically adopted Klee at this point, and is trying to learn how to discipline her in a manner that will actually teach a lesson without being hurtful in the long run.

    Vol. 3: Patience and Independence
    Qiqi keeps disappearing more and more often, usually to play with Xiao-gege or to gather herbs they're running low on. Baizhu still hasn't learned that Qiqi is more than capable of taking care of herself and still panics every time he can't find her for more than five minutes.

    Summary

    There, on one of the highest peaks of Liyue, sat one of the people he loved most. “Mother.” He breathed softly.

    His mother’s pristine white wings fluttered, as he turned around, soft blue hair, and teal braids swaying in the wind. “There’s my little bird.” He whispered. Barbatos sat, legs dangling off the cliff, the warmest, most gentle smile looking back at him.

    Summary

    Xiao isn't a person. He hasn't been since he was five years old. He's a weapon of war, a killing machine. So even if he is that boy in the mural, the one with the mother god and the dragon, what does it matter. He'll never be that boy again. It's as accurate a reflection as a gravestone.

    Summary

    Barbatos scrunched his nose, still frowning.

    Sighing, Morax leaned forward, his breath hot on the anemo archon’s neck. “There will be a yaksha general here at all times as well as either I, Guizhong, or one of the adepti. The only thing that can harm the child are nightmares, so we will do what we can to bring them sweet dreams.”

    Barbatos was quiet for a long time after that, letting Morax straighten pins and remove broken quills. A few of the nicer ones he set aside to be turned into writing instruments. It was when he was brushing off stray down and flakes of skin did the other speak, just as quiet as before.

    “Okay.”
    ___

    The middle of the Archon War, which monsters and scheming backstabbing gods in every corner of the continent, was not the best time and place to let a child enter the world. Barbatos and Morax find this out the hard way.

    AKA Barbatos and Morax are Xiao's biological parents and canon events still happen.

    Summary

    “Hello F…Zhongli.” He responded softly. He was so used to addressing his father as well…his father. But they were out and about, and he didn’t want to make assumptions. He was antisocial at best, avoidant at worst. He didn’t know if his father talked about him. After all, everyone knew of Xiao’s name, so it would very much destroy his father’s mortal persona. He didn’t want to get in his way, or cause any trouble.

    “Hm, is that any way to address your father?”

    Summary

    The dragon tilts his head, puppylike in manner.
    ~You are not human~

    Ah, elemental beings and their proclivity to telepathy.
    He hums,
    ~Indeed~

    The dragon moves closer.
    ~You are like me~

    The little one is close enough to reach, the young god reaches out a tender hand to stroke the underside scales of the drake’s chin. He reiterates.

    ~What is your name?~

    The baby dragon leans into his ministrations, idly flicking its tongue to taste the air.
    ~What is a name?~

    He laughs, ~ Something other’s call to address you ~

    The dragon waits a moment, calculating its answer.

    ~Then I have no name.~

    Breaking the quiet, Venti exclaims, his voice echoing around the chamber. “Let’s find you a name. It is one of life’s pleasures to be called upon.” He stands, brushing off the debris clinging to his stockings. “Why you must have a name!”

    -----------------------

    Venti meets Neuvillette while travelling Teyvat. The silver-haired drake freshly born, seems to not hiss too much when the Archon approaches.

    Venti, the newly crowned Anemo Archon, doesn’t know much about being a god or having a human form. Not to mention he now has an entire country looking to him for guidance. No pressure at all.

    Summary

    "Mr. Zhongli," Chef Mao says suddenly, "is a little strange, don't you think?"

    Surprised by the sudden and completely unsolicited comment, Xiangling looks up from her wok, tracing her father's eye to said Mr. Zhongli, leaning over an antique vase at one of the roadside stores. In her time at Wanmin Restaurant, however, she has certainly seen her fair share of strange customers, so after a moment, she just turns back to her frying, flipping the xianbing in the wok over one by one.

    "Why do you say that?" she asks, reaching across the counter for the cooking oil.

    "Dearest daughter," Chef Mao says then, "he is lecturing the seller on the origins of his own vase."

    Liyue Harbor is hive full of incorrigible gossips. Xiangling navigates the rumor mill, goes ingredient hunting with Zhongli, and in the process, finds out that Zhongli is very, very bad at pretending to be human.

    Summary

    "Acting Grand Master," Lawrence says, "we have another noise complaint."

    Kaeya leans against the doorway, watching as Lawrence places at report atop Jean's desk. Sighing, Jean tiredly rubs at her brow, before offering a curt nod.

    "Thank you," she says. "I will deal with the complaint shortly."

    Pushing off the doorway, Kaeya saunters past Lawrence, picking the report up, and casually flipping through it. Jean shoots him a stern look, but does not tell him to put it back down.

    "It's from one of the sisters," Kaeya observes, and reads aloud. "Perpetrator scaled statue outside church while drunk and sang loudly for three hours."

    Lawrence lets out a delicate cough.

     

    As Weinlesefest draws near, Kaeya notices a new mystery in the city of wind and wine — Jean and Diluc have been oddly permissive with Venti since the Stormterror Incident. Mischievously determined to get to the bottom of this, Kaeya soon makes a discovery that threatens to upend everything he knows. In the process, he must reconcile what it means to be Khaenri'ahn, and to love a city that belongs to a god.

    5 Times Venti, The Bard, Accidentally Did A God Thing + 1 Time He Couldn't Gaslight Everyone Into Believing It Didn't Happen

    In case of accidental performance of miracles, there are a number of ways in which undercover gods may escape questioning by suspicious mortals. If you were to confront Venti, the Bard, for example, he might have this to say:
    1) You saw what? No, you didn't.
    2) It's an anemo vision thing!
    3) I'm... I'm so scared and traumatized... We were attacked...
    4) It wasn't me?! It was Jean (insert scapegoat) !
    5) Everything in combination

    An unknown beast is at large in Mondstadt. Confronted with an understaffed Knights of Favonius, Venti offers his assistance to a frazzled Jean, who is concerned for the safety of Mondstadt’s young, adventurous, and free-spirited allogenes.

    Alternatively: Venti embarks on a grand babysitting adventure with three-quarters of Mondstadt’s young playable characters. Complete and posts on Tuesdays and Fridays.
